Starting point is 00:13:24 That is a Brie promised. ZD.N.'s, Brinclent. It's time to head to Hollywood for the tea. The tea. Live from L.A. with Dean, speaking of Sabrina, she is in a fight with the White House? She certainly is. Let me just set the scene for you. So, ICE, which is the group that are going around and grabbing people literally off the street, literally and putting them into police trucks and then shipping them off and what's the word
Starting point is 00:13:55 deporting them yes she they have this they have this video and they actually showed people being grabbed and arrested by ice and in the video right that they played they actually used a line from Sabrina carpenter's song and they repeated the line that says do you like it this way do you like it this way or how do you like i think it was it's a part of a very popular song of hers and And they use that song as they showed clips of people being grabbed off the street, Bree, and it's totally disgusting. And finally, Sabrina Carpin has actually written on a social media post for everyone to see. She said, this video is evil and disgusting.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda. And she has every right to say that. Priya, have I told you the video that I saw where I get my car wash in West Hollywood, where you all go, right? It's called Palm's Car Wash. Yeah. I got sent a video of ice going into that car wash and grabbing the staff and putting them into paddy wagon
Starting point is 00:14:54 and literally, Bree, where I stand and sit like all the time, grabbing them and putting them into these trucks and all the locals are screaming at them and swearing at them as they grab people and put them into the back of a truck. What a terrifying time to live in America, Dean. Do you know how dark that is to imagine people that you know when you see every Saturday being grabbed and then put into the back of a truck.
Starting point is 00:15:18 It's like a movie. Like a horror movie. I can't even imagine. I honestly can't even imagine. Has I heard that the White House did respond to Sabrina Carpenter's comments, Dean? I think what did they say? I'm not actually sure what they've actually. Have they responded to it by now?
Starting point is 00:15:35 Probably. I think they did. Oh, yeah, no, they did. Sorry, I did see that, actually. So basically they went on and said that, you know, essentially that like they are. deporting people that they believe that are criminals, essentially. And they were
Starting point is 00:15:49 like, well, then, you know, this isn't. If you think it's an inhumane agenda, we're literally deporting people that are criminals. Is the very, very quick summary of it. But that's how they justified the video, but she's like, don't ever use my music in your dark ways again. Yeah, that is
Starting point is 00:16:05 crazy. Good on her for standing up for herself and others in the States right now. Appreciate it, Dean. Thanks so much. Thanks, Bree. That's Dean McCarthy, live from L.A. their name's Bree and Clint podcast i want to talk about this interesting fella i met the other night and i say interesting because he had an unusual name claude like when i heard it i was like where's that from i think i said that i was like that's an unusual name where's that from
Starting point is 00:16:32 is that a family name uh and you tell me if it's unusual to you okay so this guy's name was davian davian davian it's like almost a name that i'm familiar that i'm familiar with. Exactly. Davian. Because I said Davian. Haven't heard that name before. Where's that from?
Starting point is 00:16:51 He goes, oh, it's actually a combination of my dad's name and my granddad's name. Interesting. So not even both of his parents. No. So his dad's name is Dave. Okay. And his granddad's name is Ian. Davian.
Starting point is 00:17:10 So it's literally Dave Ian. Davian. I didn't mind it. It sounds quite... It's quite a nice name when you say it, you're Davian. It's fancy. Quite smooth. But it's not a real name.
Starting point is 00:17:23 But the story gets better though. Because he said to me, he goes, I know, it's weird. He's like, but if you love my name, you're going to love this. Because my siblings all have combination names as well. And I said, oh my God, tell me. Tell me. He goes, okay, so my brother's name is Ben Rick. Is that Ben and Rick?
Starting point is 00:17:45 Ben and Eric. Oh, my God. Turned into Benric. His name's Benric. And then his sister is Kathleen. Kathleen and Lynn. Kathleen. Kathleen.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Oh, why? And I said to him, I was like, is this like a common thing in your family? He goes, nah, my parents just decided that all their kids were going to have combo names. I'm like how they've gone from Dave the dad to Kathleen and Benric. Hey, I've never heard anyone with those three names. Me neither. So they're unique.
Starting point is 00:18:20 You'll never forget them. No. What was the baby from Twilight's name? Renesme. Renesme. Yeah. Which is Renee and Ismay. Renesme.
Starting point is 00:18:31 That's so beautiful. Beautiful. Really nice. Such a beautiful combo name. I love it. I wanted to ask people this afternoon and I want you to call through 0800 dials at M. Maybe it's your name. Maybe it's someone you've met, someone you know.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I want combo names. If you were named after your parents, if they comboed their name, what would your name be? I'd be Dysdiv. Beautiful. I love it. Beautiful. What about yours? It would be Coney.
Starting point is 00:19:05 All right, Diceb and Coney. We are standing by to take your calls. The ZM Podcast Network. You and I were talking about what our names would be. If we had our parents' names. Yes. And what did I say? You said stevennes.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Yeah, stevan. Yeah, but someone texts through and they said, wouldn't your name be Stevian? Oh, you said die steve, didn't you? Steviourne is way nicer. It kind of sounds like a posh water. Sounds very Italian. Stevian. Stevian.
Starting point is 00:19:39 It does sound like posh water. Doesn't it? A lot of great ones coming through on the text machine. Someone said growing up a friend's mum, her name was Errolin because her parents were fans of Errol Flynn. Well, it's not even a family name. That's brilliant. That's so good.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Let's talk to Val. Gidey Val. Kiyoda. Kiyoda. What have you got for me, Val? Who's got the combo name? So my granddaughter is named after my three sons and not the program. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:12 So she's named after her dad. who's Carlos, so she's spelled K-A-H, her uncle Caleb, so the L-E, and her uncle Kiani, which has Y-A-A-E in his name. So K-A-H-L-E-Y-A-E spells Kahlia. Kalia. See, I quite like that. That's probably the nicest one we've heard, Val.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Very fancy. She's named after his two parents, so you got my sister, that's Deborah, so she's taken the O-R-H-A from her name, and the K-E-L. from her partner's name and named her son, Oracle. Oracle. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:20:51 I like yours better, I think. Yeah. We named our boat after our granddaughter, too, and our daughter called Carlyatoui. Oh, that's sweet. Oh, you guys are very creative in your family, Val. Thanks for the call, mate. Appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:21:07 I have a new life goal. I want someone to name a boat after me. Oh, that is a great life goal. I didn't know that was an option. goal. That is really good life goal for you. Another text that's come through. A guy who I work with has, this one doesn't really fit, but I still want to read it out because it's so good. It says a guy who I work with has two brothers. His name is Teigen and his brother's names are Regan and Deegan.
Starting point is 00:21:32 I love it. How do you like call them for dinner when they're little kids? Teagan, Regan, Deegan. You'd forget which one's wet. Yeah. They're all just Egan's. So good. Hello, mate. Hello. You got a combination name for me? Well, not yet, but me and my partner are engaged to get married and are going to have a baby. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:55 So we're just scheming. Okay. Tell me what you're thinking. It's not quite as magic as Oracle, but because none of us want to lose like our last names and we don't want to give the baby like a hyphenated name because it'll be so long. Yeah, true. So maybe we could just merge our last names and just come. become like the, instead of
Starting point is 00:22:14 Jacobson and Berkett, just become the Berksons. The Berksons, as for a last name. As for a last name, yeah. I don't like it, Emily. I think that's cool. We're still debating on it, so votes are good. The Berksons, it's giving modern era. I think it's a new chapter for everyone.
Starting point is 00:22:33 I think go with it. Yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah, you're pretty sad. It's a yes from me, Emily. It's just sort of like, oh, but what if they grow up and like our great-grandchildren try to find their ancestry. They're like, who the heck of the Berkson?
Starting point is 00:22:47 They just, like, appeared in 2025, 22nd. Who the hell went rogue and made up their own bloody name? Yeah, yeah. And it'll trace back to you, Emily. Hey, what about Oracle Berkson? Oh, darn. That's pretty. It's nice.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Yeah, it's nice, Emily. It's different. You're welcome. You're welcome, Del. Thanks for the call. Very good. one text through and said, not a combo name, but I taught a girl's, uh, taught a girl whose name was Nevec, because her dad's name was Kevin, and it's Kevin backwards.
Starting point is 00:23:23 They're like, oh, we're having a daughter. We can't name her. Kevin, what are we going to do? Oh, damn it. We'll name her Nevec. It's perfect. I love it. I love it.

Starting point is 00:24:10 Oh, lucky Dennett. Yeah. Was she the favourite? Was she the favourite, you reckon? I don't know. They're pretty, maybe not, but it definitely brought a good conversation. I bet. Good conversation started.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Appreciate the call anonymous. Thank you. There's too many good ones. We need to read some of these out. Someone said, my cousin's name is Danan, a combination of my aunt and uncle's second names, Dennis and Anne. Buzzy. Danan.

Starting point is 00:25:34 Kayla and Josh. That's quite different, eh? It's unusual. And this one might be my favourite. The parents' names were Annette and Phil. And they said, oh no, wait, I don't think it's a real one. They said, my combo name, if it was my parents' names together, which is Annette and Phil, would be Anil.

As they say, the old saying, or is it a stick in the eye? A poke in the eye. Better than a poke in the eye, maybe. Yeah, I've heard that thing before.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Yes, thank you, Laura. Producer Claude, Clint is away. Producer Claude... Yeah, I'm in charge today. We'll be running the game. How does it work, Lord? So, the way that it works, I will tell you the theme in just a moment, but I'm going to read a plot line out.

Starting point is 00:29:23 No, I don't know. Hell, bugs you out as well. Keep going. It could be a lot of movies, though. Yeah, that's a pretty generic starting line. That's true. Things change for the teen when a freak accident involving a cursed pair of earrings and a chance.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Bree. The hot check. The hot check is correct. Okay, going to be honest, I'd never heard of that. Haven't you? Such a good one, Laura. Rob Schneider, go and Rachel McAdams? Yes. Go watch it. Oh, yes. Love her.
Starting point is 00:29:51 She's so hot. She's so hot. Thanks for playing, Laura. We've got a $50 KFC consolation prize for you, mate. Oh, really? Oh, my God. Thank you so much. You're welcome. You are welcome. You have a good afternoon. No, okay? Okay, thank you.
Starting point is 00:30:06 It's ZM's Brinklin podcast. Something I wanted to talk about was the new iPhone, because they bring out a new one every year, and people are like, damn, these iPhones are getting expensive. Price gouging. They don't even give us a bloody charger anymore. Do people still line up to buy them, like, the night they're released? I think some people do, but they're just very, very pricey. Do you remember that video when it was maybe the first?
Starting point is 00:30:34 first ever iPhone and someone was opening it for the news and they opened the box and it just fell out fell straight onto the floor yes i do recall that moment um someone asked me the other day they were like oh you're gonna get the new iPhone and i was like no my phones yeah there's nothing wrong with it functional and they're like oh do you not get the new iPhone every time it comes out i'm like no that's a waste yeah but no offense to anyone that does do that if that's your old one yeah can we have your old ones um i've done some digging into exactly how much an iPhone 17 Pro Max actually costs to make. Is that the fanciest version?
Starting point is 00:31:11 It's the, yeah, it's the biggest fanciest version. I've gone with the 256 gigabyte model. So normally in New Zealand, you'll pay around $2,000. For the phone? For the phone. Oh my gosh, that's more than I thought it was. Yeah, so it's around two and a half grand.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Obviously, they can be more expensive depending if you get more memory and et cetera, et cetera. So how much do you think like the main enclosure of the phone? Like how much does that cost? For that price, I hope it's $2,000. Well, I want it to get my money's worth. Just the main housing of the phone.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Yeah, just like, it's just a piece of metal. 100 bucks? $36. What? Is how much it costs Apple. How much do you think the battery? Oh, okay. Cost to produce.
Starting point is 00:32:02 $7.10. You're kidding. What about the 256 storage? $100. $35. The memory, like the actual memory of the phone, how much does that piece of technology cost for them to produce? $50. $37.
Starting point is 00:32:23 What about the 5G modem that is in the phone? Oh, okay. That's probably useful. $200. Closer. on this one, $155. Okay. What about the Pro Max display?
Starting point is 00:32:37 So, like, I think that's like the screen and stuff. $500. $138. The A-19 Pro Chips are $157. The camera module is $138. And so I've added all of those up for a grand total. Remember, we started with it's around $2,500. But to make the phone, Apple pays.
Starting point is 00:33:02 around 700 bucks. That's still quite a lot. Like the margin's still huge, but that's a lot for one unit. So how much are they making per phone? They're making 1,000. Hold on. 800.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Two, I'm going to do the exact numbers. Minus 706. That's it. Yeah, about 1850. Damn. 1850. We're getting ripped off. God, they're doing it.
Starting point is 00:33:31 That's a good business. Model A. Should we start doing that? And they won't even give us a bloody charger. You don't get wires on your headphones. You don't get a charger. Just give me my bloody charger. Play ZDems, Bree and Clend.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Now we're talking about stuff you hid from your parents, or maybe you're currently hiding something from your parents. After this mum posted online, the fact that she found out her 12-year-old daughter had a secret phone. So our family friend just came over He's like, I tell you something He's like, your daughter told my daughter that she's got a secret phone
Starting point is 00:34:07 And like, how? He said that she said that she hides out of the mattress on her bunk bed because she knows I can't get up there And she got a TikTok account, everything. I thought she'd been so good. This is why she's been in her room. Sneaky little bee. Sneaky little bee.
Starting point is 00:34:23 So we're asking you guys, what do you hide from your parents? Let's talk to Sean. Gidey, Sean. Gidey. Was it you that hid, something from your parents, Sean? Yeah, it was me.
Starting point is 00:34:32 So every day after school, we had a little hall next to our property, and I would empty my sandwiches that I did not like to eat when I was a kid. And I started getting a bit of a collection up, and it was the babysitter that caught me, and then went and told on me. That's the punishment. You would not believe what was these days. I was grounded for a week, but every day I got home from school, I got to go to bed.
Starting point is 00:34:56 You know, that would have been a dream as an adult right now, But as a kid, I was here for it. I was just like, I can't believe it. It was funny, you know. Sean just tries to get caught by his parents now so he can have a nap. He's like, ground me now, parents. Ground me now.
Starting point is 00:35:11 What kind of sandwiches didn't you like, Sean, that you were throwing out? It was anything that was just soggy, like, you know, your peanut butter, your jam sandwiches. And then I used to just trade a bit of food with the other kids. And, you know, they usually get me through the day. So, you know. Yeah. I feel you on that, Sean.
Starting point is 00:35:28 I used to hide my sandwiches in the top part of my lunchbox. You know those ones that had the little lid at the top? And I used to stuff all my gross sandwiches in there. So I feel you on that. Appreciate the call, Sean. Thank you. Thanks, mate. Someone texts through and they said,
Starting point is 00:35:43 before the internet, I would hide my adult nudie magazines from my parents. Is Clint texting the show again? Yeah, well, he's supposed to be off today. I know. It's always checking it on us. He has told me before because he worked at a gas station. that they would get all the ones that wouldn't get sold
Starting point is 00:36:00 and he had a collection under his bed. He got all the reject ones? Yeah. Let's talk to Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hi, how are you? Good, thank you, mate. How are you?
Starting point is 00:36:10 I'm good, thank you. That's good. What were you hiding from your parents, Sarah? I used to steal my mum's blocks of butter once a week. Why? I have to go to the supermarket to cook dinner and if I behave, she'd buy me a lolly.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Wait, so you would take the sticks of butter so your mum had to go to the supermarket and then you would be like, hey, can you get me a lolly? Yeah, pretty much. You're a mastermind, Sarah. She doesn't know this. What do you do for work now? I feel like you should be like a police officer or something.
Starting point is 00:36:48 I'm doing a real estate internship. Oh, yes, yes. You'll fit in well there, Sarah. You'll fit in very well. Appreciate the call, mate. Very funny. Someone text her and they said, I'm still hiding my sexuality from my mum. She thinks I'm straight, but I prefer women.
Starting point is 00:37:05 I'm nearly 30. Wow. Wow. Interesting. I mean, yes, nearly 30. I wonder, you could tell her for Christmas. Oh, it'd be a nice surprise. Hey, ma'am, Merry Christmas.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Hey, guess what? Guess what, Mum? Here's your Christmas present. Someone else said I used to borrow my parents' V8 car to drive to school and to see my friends. then I'd make sure I put just a little bit of fuel back in and leave some leaves around the back of the tyres so it appeared that the car had never left. So cheesy.
Starting point is 00:37:37 That's wild. There's so many levels in that. I like it. I appreciate the effort and I'm sure your parents would appreciate the effort and then ground you as well. Someone said I hid the fact that I was dating someone new for six months from my parents to ensure that they were the right one first. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:37:55 You don't want to do all the introductions. and then not have it work out. Yeah, that's rough. Someone else said I hid a tattoo from my parents, had to make excuses to breastfeed my newborn without them in the room. You're like, I know you're my parents, but I'm really shy. Yeah, I really don't want Dad looking at my chuzzies. That's fair enough.
Starting point is 00:38:15 They're like, oh, Dad will leave the room. Yeah. No, Mom, too. Someone else said, my sister hid a car from my parents. She didn't have her license, so she used to park it at the dairy. Did you ever deal with the dairy owner? Like, don't tow it? Yeah, this is our deal
Starting point is 00:38:32 and I'll buy all my milk and bread from here. The $2 dollar lollipacks. Very good stuff, guys. Let's do a birthday banger, right? ZDM's Bree and Clint Podcast.

Um, hey, up next on the show, if you haven't seen on every one of your friends' Instagram stories, I'm so puffed. It was quite a performance in here in the studio.
Starting point is 00:44:01 ZD.N's Branklinz. Well, today was the day. Spotify rat dropped and everyone was sharing it on their Instagram. Literally everyone. And I respect people sharing. I know some people really love it. Yeah, but there's only so many you can watch before you're like, no. Okay. I completely cared about every single one of them that I saw. That's good from you. And took notice and paid attention and didn't skip through any.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I loved everyone equally. Exactly. What was your top song of the year? My top song, it's a song from Five Seconds of Summer called Moons Swings. Of course it is. But it's not in the system, so I can't play it for you. Sorry, it's too obscure. Oh, too much of a deep cut.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Oh, you're so cool. What was mine? I'll tell you. Mine was a song from Chapel Rhone, Super... Red wine? Wine. Supernova. It always confuses me the name of that song. This is the song you've listened to most and you don't know what it's called.
Starting point is 00:45:03 I always... I think I'm dyslexic because I always put Supernova in front of red wine. Right. Supernova red wine. And then there's like champagne supernova, a different kind of wine altogether. Anyway. Bangor from Chabellone, in my opinion. Let's get into the global results, though.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Yes, I'm actually so interested. Yeah, if you haven't seen these, these are the Spotify Global Results. We'll kick it off with the most streamed global artists of 2025, with 19.8 billion streams. It was Bad Bunny. He's not huge. He's going to lie.
Starting point is 00:45:42 I don't know. much of his work if he's already the most listened to artists and I don't think he's made a lot of cut through like here anyway he's doing the Super Bowl like he's just going to get bigger he's enormous anyway he was the most streamed global
Starting point is 00:45:57 artist other artists in the top five most streamed artist for 2025 Taylor Swift I'm shocked I'm so surprised I didn't see that coming

A lot of people streaming those five artists this year, globally, according to Spotify Rapp, the most streamed global song of 2025 is a Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars song. Dive with a smile

Starting point is 00:48:02 Mine was like 27. I thought you said it was 65. Shouldn't have told you that before the show. Z&M's Bree and Clint's podcast. Clint Away back tomorrow, producers in giving me a hand and I need you girls because we got to weigh in on who's the a-hole in this situation. I'm so ready to lay down my judgment.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Yeah, good. This is where we get to judge freely because it doesn't involve us unless we say it's someone else but it's actually our own lives. Oh, sorry about my friend. Yes, and my friend did this. No, so here's the situation today and it involves baby names where things can get a little bit messy. Oh, always messy.
Starting point is 00:48:41 especially in family situations. That's funny you say that because that's exactly what this is. It says last week my wife Amber and I welcomed our second and third children into the world, a pair of beautiful twin girls. Some drama has begun over the names we chose for them and I'm curious if we were in the wrong. Before our first daughter was born four years ago, my sister wanted to know what we planned to name her. My sister said that she'd always dreamed of naming her daughter Sarah,
Starting point is 00:49:13 first name Sarah, middle name Rose. And she basically asked us not to use either of those names in case she had a daughter in the future. Okay. A little bit of background. The name Sarah was my mother's name. And Rose was my father's grandmother. We both knew women very well before they passed
Starting point is 00:49:34 and they were each greatly loved in our families. Fast forward three years when our second pregnancy rolled around and we learned we were having two more girls. My sister contacted us and asked us about the names. She reiterated how she had always dreamed of naming her daughter Sarah Rose and how she'd appreciated it if we didn't use either of those names. My wife and I said we would consider her request. After talking it over, we decided it wasn't fair to call dibs on both names between the cousins, especially for names of our beloved grandmothers
Starting point is 00:50:10 who multiple people might want to honour. All that said, we thought maybe we could extend my sister an olive branch just as a kindness and we told her that we won't promise not to use both the names but if she wanted to pick one that she could. She immediately picked Sarah but reiterated that she would prefer if we did not use Rose either. Anyway, the twins have been born and we named one of them,
Starting point is 00:50:37 Isabella and the other one Rose. My sister immediately stopped replying to our group texts and pictures and has been radio silent ever since. Are we the A-holes for giving our daughter the name Rose? There's so much involved in this. A lot to unpack. First of all, honestly, you can't necessarily dibs a name. You can't.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Although you can discuss it and go, this is a person name to me. Hey, I'd really like, you know, if you didn't use this name. She doesn't even know if she's going to have a daughter. That's the thing. Is she going to have kids any time soon? It's been four years when she's had this dibs. You sound like my bloody name. Calm down.
Starting point is 00:51:15 But I will say also because Rose and Sarah is a family name, you can't also dibs that. Because again, as they were saying in the spiel, Rose is a special grandma name. People might want to go about that. I personally think they've done the right thing. They've said, look, we won't use both names because clearly these names mean a lot.
Starting point is 00:51:37 to you, but we're going to use one of them. Yeah. And she got to pick which one she would rather. So go with that and plus she wants to give the baby the second name Rose, big deal. It's a middle name as well. Man, I fully disagree with you guys. Joe! I fully
Starting point is 00:51:53 disagree. I love it. Get it. I acknowledge you can't necessarily dibs a name. But she has put that conversation out there. Four years ago. But she's reiterated when she found out they were pregnant and if they wanted to use a family name, I feel like the middle ground is using a middle name. Instead of first name, Rose, it should be,
Starting point is 00:52:13 hey, I also want to honor our grandmother. I'm going to call them, you know, Laura Rose or whatever, and just put the rose in the middle. I just, I don't know, like, you can't dibs, but she, oh, I don't know. I feel putting myself in that position being like, this is the name I've always dreamed of.
Starting point is 00:52:30 It is a family name, but this is mine. Remember this, Ella, because... There's so many names out there. Claudia ever calls shotgun of the front seat. Don't mess with her. She means business. It just needs to be fair. And also the fact that she's put that conversation forward,
Starting point is 00:52:47 she's gone, these are the names that I want. And then they've gone, Cole, we're going to do it without talking to you. Yeah, look, I think we should play a song so Claudia can calm down. It's a bit heated in here. The ZM Podcast Network. And that, my friends, my girls, my pals,
Starting point is 00:53:02 my guys, my dolls. Keep going. My Goenas. my amigos. That's the end of the show. And you've done a fantastic job, Brianna. Thank you so much for saying that, even though I paid you. Well, you're paying us.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Don't tell her, don't tell you. I'm giving out my compliments freely. Oh, God. It's time to leave, I think. What's the going rate, Ellen? A couple of bucks an hour. Yeah, it's not much. Pretty good, though.
Starting point is 00:53:27 We've been here for a while. Worth every penny for me. Worth every penny. Hey, thanks for joining us. Tomorrow, Clint will be back. and Friday Oakey is making another return. You're doing an oldie but a goody. We're doing an oldie but a goody, true.
Starting point is 00:53:40 We're doing train drops of Jupiter. How did that come out? Oh, you played it for Birthday Banger? Yes, came up in Birthday Banger, and we thought, what an absolute belter. So that will be on the air. We'll ruin that song for you tomorrow for Friday Oaky. And just a lot of laughs, a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:53:56 We'll see you then. Take care. Bye-bye. Bye. Play Z-M's Brie and Clint on Insta, Facebook, and live weekdays from 3 on ZM.
