I told you, because I went to this website to buy a box of wine. I was like, uh-oh, lockdown, better buy a box of wine. So I bought a case of like... Are we talking goon sacks or... No, like a case of a dozen bottles of wine. See, that's where you went wrong. And I was like, that's a good price. So I bought it.

And then a month later, another box just showed up. Because I'd signed up to a subscription. And I rang them. I said, I don't want this. And they said, well, you signed the subscription. Speaking of subscriptions, still no craft beers at my house. Oh, Ben's got news. Yeah.

I remember when this came out and I was working at a radio station in Brisbane and we did one of those listening parties with the Madden Brothers. Those are so awkward. And it was the most awkward thing ever. And afterwards you could go up and ask them for a picture and stuff. And I remember, because I'm a tall woman, and they are not very tall. Are they average height?

I reckon they were at 5'7", 5'8", maybe. And I remember going up and asking for a picture, and it looks like I'm with my younger brothers. Your younger Medden brothers. Okay, next one is for Kyle Priestley from North Carolina. Oh, NC. North Carolina. Who's the football team for North Carolina?

And he goes This bit I think it's quite an iconic riff That bit where the kid covers there in the music video and he goes, La la, la la la la la la la. This bit. I think it's quite an iconic riff. Do you like it? But I can see how if it was constantly being played on the radio, it might get a bit... I think it's in Peru, that music video.

Is it? From memory. I could be wrong. Okay, Madden Brothers, Gautier and Kimbra. We didn't even comment on that song, did we? And Sam Smith It's Sam Smith For me

Another point on the board. They go ahead with eight to two. Brianne Clint. Here's a big question. Is Facebook finished? Is it over? Has Facebook had its time? Mark, Zuckbot lost a hell of a lot of money last night.

Oh, poor guy. A crazy amount of money. Facebook, or Meta, which they're now called, tanked on the stock market. And the Zuck lost $28 billion. Have you heard his new nickname? What? Bad luck, Zuck. Bad luck, all right.

That's $43 billion New Zealand dollars. Oh, my God. $43 billion. That's crazy. The reason is very interesting. Facebook put out a report that said for the first time ever, people are turning away from Facebook.

More people are leaving Facebook than are joining. And so it's going backwards. Here's a question. How many people are on Facebook? Good question. It's in the billions. I think it's two. I think it's two billion people. I'm just going to quickly look it question. It's in the billions. I think it's two. I think it's two billion people.

I'm just going to quickly look it up. It's like a huge percentage of the world. But if they're not growing anymore, what's the number? 2.85 billion monthly active users. Terrifying that one company has that much data on half the world's population. Also, remember how Apple did that update? I wasn't meant to talk about this here. No, I knew that you would, but we're here now. Also, remember how Apple did that update? I wasn't meant to talk about this here.

No, I knew that you would, but we're here now. We'll get back on track soon. Apple did that update where they asked you if you wanted to give your data to Facebook. Do you remember? Yes, I remember it. And you had to opt in kind of thing. Well, it turns out that's really hurt. No, I don't have an iPhone.

Oh, yeah, true. But that's really hurt. No, I don't have an iPhone. Oh, yeah, true. But that's really hurt Facebook because now they can't like illegally use all your information. Oh, that's sad. And so it's really screwing them up. So, yeah, sad day for Facebook. I mean, how much is Zuckerberg still worth now,

though, I wonder? He's lost 40. Oh, in the 100 billions. Oh, well. He's all right. I mean, he might have to sell one of the holiday homes. But you know how you just think of Facebook as always being there? It probably will always be there.

But imagine if Facebook goes the way of a Bebo or a MySpace or something. Like Facebook potentially, or Snapchat, it could be something that you don't use anymore or it could be something that you already don't use, you know? I think a lot of people don't use it anymore. I don't think people enjoy using it anymore. It's kind of like a grudge thing, right? You're like, oh, I better go on there.

You know what I think Facebook is really good for still? Like it is really good for staying connected to people. Yes. Like family members or that might be living overseas. Yeah. It is still really good for that. There's no doubt about it. Yeah.

Because your personal Facebook and then you can connect with, you know, especially for someone like that can't get home because of COVID and stuff like that. It's been so good for me to connect with family members and see like pictures of my nephew and stuff. Yeah, yeah, totally. Which Instagram to me is not really like that.

No, it's different. It's different, eh? Yeah, yeah. So, I mean, it's still good for that. There you go. If your sharesies are on Facebook. Oh, that sucks. You would have lost a bit of money last night. Move it over to TikTok.

Yeah, right. TikTok's it. Question for you, Brie. Are you thinking about quitting your job this year? Yeah, I thought about it. Always thinking about it? Never not thinking about it? It's always on the table.

Are you thinking about quitting your job out there? And have you heard of the great resignation? Do you know about this? No, I haven't heard about this. It's a phenomena that is happening at the moment. Because of COVID, everybody has re-evaluated their priorities and what they want out of their life. And for a lot of people, they've gone, oh, this job is not it.

Yeah, I think it's really... This is not me for the next 30 years. Thank you very much. It's really put a lot of things in perspective for people, you know. According to a study, more than two out of every five New Zealand workers are planning to look for a new job this year. Wow, that is so many. It's huge.

It's a huge number of people to quit. That's why they call it the great resignation. And I get it. One, you'd go, oh, life's too short. That would be a big one at the moment. But also people have got more options. Well, I feel like they've got more options now. Like you could go and work for yourself.

You could drive Uber or you could drive Didi or you could drive Lyft or you could drive Ola so many options out there these days no you know what I mean though

like people think you can you could effectively work for yourself there's lots of ways you could do it now so yeah

but then people were just going just quitting and going I'll find a better job I'll deal with that later but for now I don't care anymore I need to get out of this stink job.

Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if we could talk to some people this afternoon who have quit their job recently for this reason. They're like, life is too short. I hate this job. I'm getting out of here. Yeah.

I'm going to go see what else is out there. I'm going to roll the dice on life, you know? Yeah, which I think is so admirable, like especially – and you know what? It's nothing against people who can't do it because I'd probably be more a person that could never do it. But people who have the courage to be like, I'm just going to quit because I'm not very happy

and I'm going to see what happens. You're lucky if you're able to do that. Which not everyone is. But if you are able to do it, I mean, good on you for giving it a go. Yeah. Do you want to tell us about it? What's the job that you quit and do you have any regrets whatsoever? It might be awful.

You might go, don't do it, guys. Have you ever quit a job? I lost my flat. Yeah, I quit a job to come here and work with you. Oh, yeah, technically you quit. Yeah. I've quit one job in my life. Oh, well, technically I quit the other job to come here and work with you as well technically you quit yeah i quit i've quit one job in my life oh well technically i quit the other job to come here and work with you as well but i quit i remember this

job that i had and i was a bartender slash waitress and i worked at this restaurant for a long time probably like two and a half three years. And I would do all the horrible shifts and they'd treat me pretty badly. Like it wasn't a nice place to work. I'd do Sundays, Saturday nights, Friday nights. I never saw my friends. Anyway, it got to the point where there was this big party on for one of my best friends on a Saturday night. And I tried to swap a shift.

Nah, couldn't do it. Anyway. So you just quit. No, no, no, no. So that day I called in sick and I'd forgot that I'd done that. I just didn't hear from anyone. I was like, I'm in the clear. Anyway, I was at this party and it was popping off

and my phone starts ringing. I was like, hello? And it's my boss. Where are you? I'm at a party. Where are you? I'm at a party. Where are you? And she was just about to fire me and I was like,

I quit. Too bad. You can't fire me now. I quit. No regrets. Tell us the job you quit. We'd love to hear your story on ZM 0800 dial ZM.

The great resignation is on. Apparently two out of every five New Zealand workers is keen to quit their job and find something new this year. Have you ever fantasised about going into a boss's office in a real corporate setting and just making a big scene and being like, I call it! I have.

No, I haven't. It'd be so fun. We're in a fairly corporate building here. You can do it if you want to. It ain't corporate. If you went upstairs. Our boss. If you went upstairs.

Our boss, Ross, wears jandals to work. He's got those rubber Birkenstocks he wears now. It's not corporate. Let's get some people on who quit recently and find out how it went for them. Hey, Sam. Hi, Sam. Hi, how are you going? Good, thanks.

Have you quit recently? Yeah, about six months ago. Congratulations. Thank you. Very exciting. What was the job? So I was doing international tourism marketing, which was kind of at the peak of my career

and doing lots of amazing things. And then I actually got made redundant, or they called it a restructure whatever these corporate types like to call it and they put me into basically being somebody's secretary so I said no and I quit and

then with nothing to go to as well and then the next day I got offered to buy my dream business which was a little cafe No way Sam! The universe The next day I got offered to buy my dream business, which is a little cafe. No way, Sam. The universe provided.

You just took the leap of faith and it was all good. Go on, Sam. Give the cafe a plug. So it's the Daston Field Cafe at the Gisborne Airport. Oh, cute. That's awesome. I love that. Hey, congratulations.

What a cool, inspiring story. Let's talk to someone who wants to be anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, how are you guys? Good, thank you. You recently quit your job, Anonymous. I have in the last two weeks.

No way. So this is fresh. This is real fresh. What was the job and why did you quit? Caregiving and lack of support. Yeah, I've heard that I've heard that It's a tough industry to be in, eh? Such a tough industry

That must have been hard Because to be a caregiver You need to be quite a caring person And I'm sure you cared about your job But did it just get too much? Yeah Yeah, it did get too much I've also got two teenage young girls

So it's really demanding Have you got a job to go to? No, I do not. Oh, whoa. Okay, well, what's your skill set? We can put it out on the radio. Maybe someone will hear. Hospitality and interested in tourism.

And where do you live? Auckland, Mount Wellington. I was going to say, if you live in Gisborne, I know a great cafe we could get you at. Yeah, we just talked to the owner. Okay, if anyone's interested, we've got your number. We can put some people in touch. One more person who wants to be anonymous.

Hello, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hello, how are you going? Thanks. When did you quit your job? Well, I quit my job probably about just over a year ago. Okay. It started getting really bad,

but my partner and I both did it at the same time. Oh. Whoa. Do you work in the same industry, or did you work in... We were, yes. Right. What was the job? What was the industry?

Well, we were both in hospital, managing bars and restaurants. Oh, yeah. So you quit lockdown. You guys have done tough. Yeah. Yeah, lockdown, and even just before that, it started to get a little bit like,

get burnt out pretty quickly. And we were in Australia, so we just kind of decided, now's the time, came back home and started making wine, actually. You're making wine? Yeah. Wow. Wow, that's so cool. It can be, a hospital can be like,

people in hospital just give so much of their energy to other people and it is a really draining job. But wine making, on the other hand, very rewarding job. Absolutely. Absolutely. Good timing too. You know what they say, you've got to make wine while the sun shines. That's exactly what they say.

We're doing it while it rains as well. It sounds like it was just the right time for you guys and everything worked out how it should have worked out, so that's really cool. I wonder if we've inspired some people to quit their job this afternoon. If we have and it has bad consequences for you, don't blame us. We take zero responsibility. Exactly.

Bree and Clint. That's right. Now, though, it's time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, this story's strange. It's out of the Masked Singer US, which is screening here in New Zealand. There's been a judge walk-off.

Yes, the first time I've ever heard of this. The reason Robin Thicke and Ken Yong, you know, the hilarious actor, the reason they walked off when the masked singer revealed themselves is because the masked singer was rudy giuliani now this is the former i believe it's former new york mayor and he was the personal lawyer for donald trump can i just say this it's time to time time must be tough if you're doing the Masked Singer for 50 grand when you used to be Trump's lawyer and that kind of thing. It's so pathetic and so uncomfortable.

The two judges walked off. The other two judges, one was Nicole Scherzinger. They stayed. The two female judges stayed and kind of were very, very, very polite. And then Ken and Robin Thicke came back on. They walked off because of the debacle that Rudy was involved with, I suppose you could say. Yeah, he was part of organising the Storm the Capitol.

He also is the guy who did the press conference the day after Trump lost the election at the Four Seasons landscaping instead of the Four Seasons Hotel. He's an absolute SHIT show. There's so much other stuff that this guy has allegedly been involved with. And, like, we were talking about this off-air, Dean. He, at one point, was an absolute hero to Americans. And then it just has gotten...

He was the mayor during 9-11. Exactly. And he did all these amazing things. And then he just got involved in all this weird stuff. What are the Masked Singer producers in the US up to? Like, how is he a good option for a guest? So, you know, Todrick Hall, one of my dear friends, was one of the other Masked Singers over here.

Todrick Hall, yeah. I think they're just scraping the barrel. There's a lot of celebrity shows over here at the moment, and there's not a lot of celebrities left. Not enough to go around. Everyone's done everything. Yeah, right. Scraping it out.

Look, I will say this, though. As low as the Masked Singer is, nothing will top when Rudy was doing a press conference and his hair colour started to drip down his face. Was that him? Yes, that was him, Dean. We all remember it. Don't you worry about that.

That is the latest on the Masked Singer US. I wonder if we'll get that episode in New Zealand or they'll skip it. Live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Bree and Clint. Look, one of my favourite parts of the show last week was when I was alerted to my dad's new jazzy email,

voicemail that he's put on his phone. If you missed it, my dad, country Australian man, I came across his new voicemail and it sounded like this. Well, howdy pilgrim. Steve here. Sorry I missed your

call. I'll give you a ring back as soon as I can. See ya, partner. That's right. So out of character. Just so random. And it just sounds like he's, you know, got a slight accent there. A little bit. Just a little bit. And then it was interesting because I saw this story today because I remember

us talking to my dad about, you know, he still does business calls on his phone. Like he's still getting calls. He takes a lot does business calls on his phone. He's still getting calls. He takes a lot of business calls, pretty much only business calls on his phone. Yeah. And we're wondering about the implications that might have.

People will probably love it, you know? Oh, classic Steve. Classic. What a classic jokester. Well, this story about this woman over in the States, her name's Zanea Jones. She's spoken out after she went for a job at a supermarket chain in the US. She put in a job application and she thought she did really well and it seemed like she was going to be offered the job.

Good stuff. Anyway, it wasn't until she received this voicemail from the guy that had just interviewed her. Yes, Miss Jones, I recommend if you apply for a job and you expect somebody to call you, that you have a more appropriate response on your voicemail. So thank you for applying, and no need to give us a call back here at Harris Theatre.

Thank you, ma'am. Oh, my God, he sounds like he's got a stick up his butt. He sounds like a wet blanket. But her voicemail must be pretty bad because it sounds like he was ringing to give her the job, but then heard her voicemail message and changed his mind. Yeah, it must be bad. It must be as bad as my dad's. Do we have the voicemail message?

Yes. Can we listen to it? So I found her voicemail message as well, and this is what that guy would have heard. What's up, what's up, what's up? What's up, y'all? It's your girl Naya, and I'm back with another banging banger. I'm sorry, I couldn't answer the phone for you. Be my name, number.

Yeah, you know I like. Yeah, what happened? Yeah. Is that it? That's it. It's just fun. It's got a bit of personality in it. It's got a bit of personality.

She sings a little bit. Big deal. But? She dodged a it. It's just fun. It's got a bit of personality in it. A bit of personality. She sings a little bit. Big deal. But. She dodged a bullet. Yeah, I reckon. Because you don't want him as a boss. She sounds like the kind of person that that fun sponge hates. Exactly.

Someone who's happy. They wouldn't get along. That would, you know, go around being chirpy and he's like, no one having fun here at work. We don't have fun here at work. Yeah, that sucks. Well, I think she dodged a bullet. But I thought, and I'm really excited about this,

because I thought we could get people to call the show this afternoon on 0800DIALSATM. If you give us a call this afternoon, if you've got what I'm calling a jazzy voicemail. Yeah.

Brayden, how steamed were you when you made that voicemail? That was so worth it. That was 100% worth it. He sounded like he had a scar there. He was a captain on an old pirate ship. Go and re-record your voicemail after a few drinks this weekend, everybody.

only good one in our team and I brought the team down, I'm so sorry, Cara. It's all good. You did so well, though. Bree and Clint. Right now I want to take a second to talk about butts. Butt. Bubble, bubble, bubble, butt.

Bubble butt. Bubble, bubble, bubble, butt. Bubble butt. My butt? I mean, a lot of songs, no, you don't really have a butt. Probably need to call Triple One. Because you've been robbed. Someone stole my ass.

Someone stole your butt. It's my cousin's fault, sorry. There's a story about a Miss England pageant contestant. Her name is Pratishtha Raut. She's 28. Anyway, she was having a holiday and she was swimming in the ocean and she felt this horrible, horrific pain in her butt cheek. Oh, okay.

And then it shot down her legs. Yeah. It was terrible. That's when she was ordered to come out of the water and they believed she was stung by a box jellyfish. Oh, right in the butt. Which are really bad. Yeah.

Like not a good time. Anyway. A box jellyfish. You've never heard of that? No. I'm pretty sure that's what it's called. Right. Yeah, box jellyfish.

Can kill you. Yeah. I'm pretty sure. Wow. Anyway, she went back to the hotel and it can cause you. Yeah. I'm pretty sure. Wow. Anyway, she went back to the hotel and it can cause paralysis, cardiac arrest and sometimes death. Wow. So the hotel people were like, okay,

we need to check out what's going on because this can be really bad. And then she started to get a rash on her legs and she had to be rushed to hospital. Yeah. And she was in hospital. The hotel staff had to inspect her butt. Exactly. Because she did get struck on the buttock.

She'd be wearing one of those bikinis which are all the trend at the moment which go right up your butt crack. Just leaving bare cheek on display. I don't even know. Would it be better to be bitten on the buttock or the leg by a jellyfish? Because there's be bitten on the buttock or the leg by a jellyfish? Because there's more meat on the buttock.

Yeah. I don't know. Like to me, the butt provides protection. So maybe, but that's not really how it works. It's about getting into your bloodstream. So it's probably the same. Yeah. Probably exactly the same.

Same, same. Although you can still sit down if it bites you on the leg. You can't sit down if a jellyfish bites you on the butt. So maybe I'd go for leg. Yeah, maybe the same. Probably a bit same, same. Although you can still sit down if it bites you on the leg. You can't sit down if a jellyfish bites you on the butt. So maybe I'd go for leg. Yeah, maybe the leg. I wanted to do a thing this afternoon where we ask people, what happened to your butt? I'll kick it off.

Yeah. One time, I think I was about 14 years old, we had horses and I was tending to the horses. Actually, we had horses but we also had ponies. Yeah. So I was actually cleaning out some of the ponies' hooves. Yeah. And I was bent over because I was holding one of the ponies' hooves

and ponies can get a little bit stroppy. Yeah. And the pony turned around and bit me on the buttock. Better than what I thought. I think I'm going to say you got kicked in the butt. Have you ever been bitten by a horse? No. Oh, my God.

You mean like a Charlie horse, like a horse bite? No, like a real horse. It is so painful and on the buttock. Well, the phone lines are filling up with butt stories, so let's go to a song, and when we come back, you can tell us. I can't wait. Butt stuff. We're doing butt stuff on ZM Next.

Welcome to ZM Does Butt Stuff. That's right, it's 2022, and we want to know, what happened to your butt? Comes after a story of a beauty pageant, Miss England contestant, was holidaying and she was swimming and she got bitten by a box jellyfish on her butt cheek. Eee. Could have killed her.

Yeah, right. She was in hospital for a couple of days. She was saved by the butt. Yeah, she was. She's okay now. So we're asking you guys, what happened to your butt? Lisa's here. Hi, Lisa. Hi, right. She was in hospital for a couple of days. She was saved by the butt. Yeah, she was. She's okay now. So we're asking you guys, what happened to your butt? Lisa's here. Hi, Lisa.

Hi, Lisa. Hi. Tell us, Lisa. Tell us the story. So I was about seven and it was winter and I just got out of the bath. I'm in my towel and I'm standing in front of the fire with the glass doors. And I bent over to pick something to put on. And I burnt both my butt cheeks.

Oh, no. Now that is the equivalent, Lisa, of a sting ring. Oh, my God. And a burning sensation. Any lasting scars from that? Like, have you got, like, any scars on your butt? I don't know. I can't see. You need to get a friend to head around there and have a look for you.

That's so true. Oh, Lisa, you poor thing. Seven. Have a great long weekend, Lisa. Thanks for calling. Someone on the text machine said, I was on a rope swing as a kid, and a German shepherd decided to join me swinging by latching onto my butt.

Ooh. That would hurt so much. Ooh, wow, wow, wow. Wee, whoa, whoa, whoa. Carl's here. Hi, Carl. Hi, Carl. Hey, how's it going?

Good. Thanks. Can we get a visual here? Can you describe your butt to us? Ah, I go to the gym, so it's quite plump, I guess. Oh, yeah? What are you squatting? 100 kilos for three sets.

Damn, that's a powerful butt. Are you right? I just want to know what we're talking about here. Okay, Carl, what happened to your butt? So I got a boil on my inner butt cheek, and I had decamped the following week. And I had to go up the mountain, got me up a T-bar, and I bailed.

And as I bailed, it tore my boil open. Yeah, it was pretty bad. That's not great. I think it's like a 20-cent piece. You do have to get those boils off, though. If you didn't rip it off, a doctor would have to lance it off anyway. Oh, God. Yeah, they went to the doctors afterwards,

and they kicked it out, and they did all that stuff. Why do you get boils on your butt? I don't know. I think I got bitten by a spider by day, like a white-tailed. Really? Yeah. Wow, okay. Man, your butt's been through the wars.

Not a good time for your butt. Look after that butt of yours, Carl. Thank you. Someone else on the text machine, this story does not sound great. They said, I was staying at my grandparents' during school holidays and I decided to help with the cleaning one day. That's really nice. So I took all the items off the top of the electric piano

so I could dust it on one of these being a wooden statue of a heron with its beak pointing towards the sky. Oh, yeah. So I climb up on the piano stool and I start dusting and then I lost my balance and I fell down backwards and I got stabbed through my butt cheek with the wooden statue. That

is a visual. The only saving grace is at least it avoided the butthole. You know? Yeah. Puncturing your butt cheek, really painful, but you can do serious internal damage if you get a heron beak up the butthole. I mean, unless you were spot on the money.

Amy, finally, take us out. Tell us what happened to your butt. So I went to the beach and I got bitten by a white-tailed spider on my butt and needed three surgeries to get rid of all the venom within the space of a year. Wow, that's three surgeries. How big was the spider? That's crazy. I wouldn't know.

Yeah, well, I mean, you wouldn't have seen it. It was in your pants. Yeah. That's devastating. Yeah, it was pretty intense. Wow. And what was, like, did you have any lasting, you know, scars or anything like that? Yeah, I think all I've got seven scars on my butt because of it.

Are you joking? Why did they have to, like, drain Yeah, I think all up I've got seven scars on my butt because of it. Are you joking? Why did they have to, like, drain out, like, pus? Yeah, they had to drain it, and then it had to heal from the inside out, so it's, like, all scar tissue. Oh, my God. Like, Zorro has been tagging his name on your butt cheek with his sword or something.

Literally. Yeah, wow. Well, that's brutal. Amy, thank you for sharing your butt story with us this afternoon on the first edition of ZM Does Butt Stuff. I think it's coming back. You reckon? I think there's plenty more butt stories.

Those are quite brutal stories to hear. They were. Brie and Clint. It's Friday and it's time for Friday Oaky. And now it's time for Brie and Clint's most popular segment, Friday Oaky. I love Friday Oaky. It's the best. I listen every Friday. I never miss Friday-okey.

Thanks, Brie and Clint. You've made my Friday again. Friday-okey! Our weekly singing competition that you judge. Fun fact, in three years of Friday-okey, we've never done a Lady Gaga song. Which I mean for good reason. She is an amazing singer.

We've taken on amazing singers, though. We've done Ariana Grande multiple times. Yeah, that's true. Maybe it was just that mountain that we thought was just too tall to climb. Well, not now. We're back. We're ambitious. And we are ready to Gaga.

The song Bree's chosen this week is Born This Way. An absolute anthem for equality and there's a bit of a reason behind why I chose this song this week and if you've seen in the news, it's been everywhere. There's been a lot going on at a Brisbane school,

City Point Christian College, where they did send out a contract to parents for them to sign, which was anti-LGBTQIA+. Yeah. It's horrific. And it basically stated that, yeah, it was homophobic, it was transphobic, and pretty much if you didn't abide by those rules,

your kids would be expelled from the school. It's disgusting. It's disgusting. It's horrible. But news in the past week, they have since retracted it and they've changed that contract after so much media coverage and so much support behind the queer community, which is awesome. So I wanted to do this song this week just to show our support to everyone in the queer community.

So this one's for you guys. We stand with the kids and with the entire queer community. And does this song help our version of it? Well, you're about to find out. You know, I think it's about the passion. The passion behind it. I think it's about the intention. And the intention is to support.

Exactly. And that's what we're doing. Who's got the best gaga? Are you ready for this? You're first. Oh, you know? Yes, exactly. And the intention is to support. Exactly, and that's what we're doing. Who's got the best gaga? Are you ready for this? You're first. Oh, God, I don't know. Here comes Breeze, Born This Way. My mama told me when I was young

We are all born superstars She rolled my hair, put my lipstick on In the glass of her boudoir There's nothing wrong with loving who you are She said, cause he made you perfect babe So hold your head up girl and you'll go far Listen to me when I say I'm beautiful in my way

Cause God makes no mistakes I'm on the right track Baby, I was born this way Don't hide yourself in regret Just love yourself and you'll see I'm on the right track Baby, I was born to be brave Ooh, there ain't no other way

Baby, I was born this way Baby, I was born this way Ooh, there ain't no other way. Baby, I was born this way. Baby, I was born this way. Ooh, there ain't no other way. Baby, I was born this way. Right track, baby, I was born this way. Hey, don't be a drag, just be a queen. Don't be a drag, just be a queen. Don't be a drag, just be a queen.

Don't be, don't be, don't be, don't be. Yes, my queens. Sing it loud, sing it proud. Equality for all, baby. I reckon you held back a bit. You reckon? I reckon you didn't really let go. Like, you really...

Oh, I took it up an octave. Did you? Yeah. Well, maybe I should have held back. That's Breeze born this way. The only thing that can stop her is me. Let's go. Here we go. This is my born this way. The only thing that can stop her is me. Let's go. Here we go.

This is my born this way. My mama told me when I was young We are all born superstars She rolled my hair, put my lipstick on In the glass of her boudoir There's nothing wrong with loving who you are. She said, cause he made you perfect, babe. So hold your head up, girl, and you'll go far.

Listen to me when I say, hey. I'm beautiful in my way. Cause God makes no mistakes. I'm on the right track. Baby, I was born this way. Don't hold yourself in regret, just love yourself and you'll stay. I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way. Born this way, there ain't no other way.

Baby, I was born this way. Baby, I was born this way. Born this way, there ain't no other way. Baby, I was born this way. Right track, baby, I was born this way. Born this way. There ain't no other way. Baby, I was born this way. Right track, baby, I was born this way. Don't be a drag, just be a queen. Don't be a drag, just be a queen. I think you're a queen.

Paws up, little monsters. Who did the best Gaga this week? We're going to give you one song to vote on this. We'd love your input. 0800 dial ZM. Can we get five people to review us and vote on the winner of Friday Okie? The best piece

of constructive criticism is up for some free KFC chicken dollars this afternoon as well. That's right. If you want to vote, call now. 0800 dial ZM. It's for Friday Okie time. Friday Okie! This week one of my all-time favourite songs, Lady Gaga, Born This Way.

No, that's the one. Wait, wait, wait. We did Lady Gaga's Born This Way. Bree sounded like this. Ooh, there ain't no other way. Baby, I was born this way. Baby, I was born this way. And mine sounded like this.

I'm beautiful in my way Cos God makes no mistakes I'm on the right track Baby, I was born this way One of those is the best rendition of Lady Gaga. And this afternoon, you guys are going to choose for us. Just one piece of feedback from the text machine. Someone texted through,

how can two people in the music slash broadcasting business be so tone deaf? We wonder that all the time. We do wonder. James is here. Happy Friday, James. G'day, James. Happy Friday, guys.

What did you think of our Gaga? I actually quite enjoyed her. I thought that Breeze was definitely the star of the situation. I just think that she was definitely born this way. Thank you, James. We appreciate that, man. We'll go one vote to Breeze. Thank you, James.

We'll go to Joseph. Hi, Joseph. Hey, mate. G'day, Joe. What are your thoughts on Friday Oaky this week? I'm sorry I'm going to have to disagree with James. I reckon Clint was 100% the star there. You reckon I'm a queen in the making?

Oh, straight up, mate. Like, you had your full performance on. Like, you can imagine you were in a stage where it's pretty similar like she was singing in the shower. All right, Joe. It's not about, you know. You already gave it to Clint. You don't have to tear me down.

Thanks, Joe. Let's go to Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mel. Hi there. How are you? Good, thanks, Mel. What are your thoughts this week?

Well, my daughter was pretty adamant that I had to be free. Yes. What's your daughter's name? Amber J. Oh, that's a lovely name. Thank you so much for your support. Thank you so much. Let's go to Emma.

Hi, Emma. Hi, Emma. Hiya. I think, actually, it was Brie who did amazing. Clint, you're a bit pitchy there. A little bit. She hit something on Brie, so I did a mess. Aw, cheers, Emma.

You've got the win there. Sophie's taking the time to call up, though. Let's go to her. Hey, Soph. Hi, Soph. Hi, how are you? Who was it for you this week in Friday, Oki? I said to my sister, Brie needs to win

because it's what I sound like in the shower too. I'm pretty sure that the straight white male shouldn't win the Born This Way singing competition as well. So I think balance has been restored in the universe. Thank you, Soph. Also, you needed Sophie actually because I'm pretty sure James is actually Cam Mansell from Zed Era.

Nah, that was definitely a guy called James, wasn't it? Cam? Got him! I recognised your voice straight away and I was like, shut up, he's voting for you. Shut up. Well, you won legitimately plus Cam Mansell, so congratulations.

And here it is, the Gaga replay. There ain't no other way. Baby, I was born this way. Baby, I was born this way. and here it is, the Gaga replay. I think it was pretty bloody even this week and can I just say I love doing this kind of stuff on the radio and showing our support for an amazing community and the best gift you can give to the world is to be your true self. Absolutely. Couldn't have said it better myself. So we love you guys and we stand for equality.

That was fun. I love doing stuff like that. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. Going back to back Friday, Oki.

No way. I'm down to my last brain cell. Okay, good. Okay. Well, we're nearly done. Get me into this long weekend. Come on, let's go. All right. You just passed it on to cell. Okay, good. Okay. Well, we're nearly done. Get me into this long weekend. Come on, let's go. All right.

You just passed it on to me. It's contagious. You passed it. Leave it to a professional, mate. Let's get Geordie on. Hi, Geordie. Geordie. Geordie.

No. Hey, Geordie, leave it to a professional. Don't you dare put that on TikTok. Clearly. Did you hear him? He said, leave it to a professional professional and then called you Geordie. Yeah. Not the first time.

Oh, yeah, please. We can give it a whirl. Do you want me to come around and cook dinner for you? You'll get food poisoning, and then you can have the day off. What would I rather? Go to work or be on the porcelain bus? I would rather work. Yeah, me too, T.

I'd rather work than eat my cooking as well. T, what's your birthday? The 29th of November, 1987. All right, mate, you were 16 in 2003. And on that day in 2003, this reached number one. Britney Spears and Madonna? I believe so. Wow, double Madonna.

Oh, this is good stuff. Have a great weekend, T. See you guys soon. Be safe, mate. Brian Clint, this is your birthday banger on ZM. ZM, Brian Clint.

It's the winner of birthday banger today from Britney Spears and Madonna. It's called Me Against The Music. Tune. This might be controversial. What?

But it's a Friday. And I feel like the vibe is there. We can just pick whatever music we want? Kind of. Really? I think maybe the mood is right for a back-to-back Britney Spears. Do you think? Do you think we're in the mood for a double Britney Spears? It has to be the

right one. It does. I'm not suggesting this. I'm just playing something wrong. You're just playing something wrong. We don't have long to make the decision either. So we'll go to a group deliberation situation. On the text machine, if you want to throw some stuff in there. Producers, you can throw in a suggestion if you want as well.

I was thinking maybe You Drive Me Crazy from Britney. Go real vintage Britney Spears. I was thinking a vintage song too. Do you remember that song Boys? No. From Britney? Do we have that in the system just to hear the vibe of that? Keep brainstorming while I look for it.

Piece of Me is also a great song. Piece of Me is a great one, yeah. It's a great comeback song from her. We don't have the Britney one you're talking about no we don't have that okay um

we can't play Lucky it's too down buzz we've got Work Bitch which I mean is definitely not down buzz um I reckon this is

our top two I reckon we either go uh You Drive Me Crazy or we go Peace of Me. This is a banger. I'm happy. Oh, there's so many people

texting through. Someone said, I'm a slave for you, Britney Spears. Oh, that's good too. That's a great song. Lucky. Lucky's a bit slow. There's a lot of texts for F.U.C. Gamey as well. That's a great song too. Hang on. Okay, we're going. The next hour is going to be Britney Spears for the next hour.

Do we even have If You Seek Amy's? I think it's spelt. F? Is it spelt F? Hold on. I'll find it here. U, C. Because that's the gag, right?

If you seek Amy. Yeah. If you. Hold on. We're running out of time. We're running out of momentum. C, because that's the gag, right? F-U-C-K, mate. Yeah. F-U. Hold on. We're running out of time. We're running out of momentum. F-U, like just a U. Seek.

S-E-E-K. Amy. Okay, quick vibe check on that one. Pretty good. Do you want this? Do you want this? La, la, la. Do you want this? Oh, I'm so confused by the text machine.

This is, I'm panicking. We want the Beast Britney Spears song, which I know is hard to decide in the moment. Womanizer's so good. We have played this on Birthday Banger, haven't we? Okay, just check one more. Just check I'm a slave for you and then we'll decide. I promise.

But isn't this fun deliberating? Ben, help me find I'm a slave for you. I think it's for, like the letter. Slave for the number, sorry. And just a U. So the number four. No, U. So the number four. No, it's not the number four. Oh, it's not?

I think we have to go with... Oh, no. Oh, no, piece of me. Go with piece of me. I think we have to go with piece of me. I'm going executive. Anastasia, do you agree? We've got to go piece of me, right?

It's piece of me. We're going to go piece of me. It's piece of me. We're losing momentum. It's my favourite Britney. Okay, perfect. Just a big F-U to everyone else, you know? If you CK me.

Yeah. Bree and Clint, hit him. Bree and Clint. We all know, Clint, that you're the person on the show who loves a bit of money, money, money, money, money, money. I agree. I was like, how do I want to play this? You love some money.

You love a quick get rich scheme. I want to. You want to be filthy rich. Correct. You're obsessed with money. You love nice things. It's not a bad thing. No, I think you're painting it wrong.

I've got an opportunity for you. Well, then I'm interested. Oh, see? Okay, this is the opportunity. So I saw this article and it was a guy who was talking about different types of jobs that you can do where you get paid actually really good money for it. Okay. And this might be something you can do on the side, a side hustle or something. When you say really good money, what are we talking?

Okay, so I'll give you a few examples of some of the other things he said. So one of the roles included body part modelling. Okay. So your face isn't in it, so it could be your feet or your knees or your neck. Okay. Or your belly button. Your nipple's probably a bit too small. I don't think any of my body parts are appropriate for that.

To do nipple work. What other stuff? You can get paid upwards of 5,000 pounds a day, which is like 10 grand a day. Yeah. What about being a professional mourner like going to funerals sometimes people can be paid around uh twenty thousand dollars to go to someone's funeral no way no way not real no that is real it's a real job it is a real job oh. It's too sad. Okay, not that one. What about a professional iceberg mover? It's a real job. They can get paid up to $400,000 a year.

I get seasick. I can't go on bikes. Because it's quite dangerous. Okay, so none of those are for you. I feel like I've got the winner. I feel like I've got the winning job that you could get paid a lot of money for. I'm listening. We've got a clip here of the guy.

He's done the research. He's talked about it let's have a listen so yes there's actually a job where a human eats the dog food to test it and you can be paid around 150k a year that's 150 000 pounds so we're talking 300 000 new zealand i'm not eating dog food and just so happens i'm not eating dog food. I think we should do your audition tape. Why? Why? Why?

Why? If I do this, am I getting $150,000? I've got some dogs. Now, I bought you two different types. Oh, it's dry dog food. Yeah. Because I didn't want to be too mean. Oh, so now you're interested.

Clint's like, think of the money. Think of the money. I want to be paid, though. So I want to be paid something. Oh, for Jesus sake. I want to be paid, though. So I want to be paid something. Oh, for Jesus' sake. I want to be paid. I'm not doing this for free. Just smell in the bag first.

Just have a smell. Yeah, it smells dog food-y. Okay, but I want you to eat then if you're getting paid. I paid for your lunch today. Yeah, but that was human food. I want to see like a little handful. Nah, I'll eat a biscuit. How much for that big biscuit?

Nothing. 20 bucks. 20 bucks? Cash. Yeah, okay see like a little handful. Nah, I'll eat a biscuit. How much for that big biscuit? Nothing. 20 bucks. 20 bucks? Cash. Yeah, okay, yep, 20 bucks. Shake on it. Shake on it. Yep. Okay. Water potatoes. Okay, here we go. You gotta chew it. I'm scared. You gotta chew it. I'm a bit scared.

This is, you could get paid $300,000. You need to really taste it. I'm scared. You've got to chew it. I'm a bit scared. You could get paid $300,000. You need to really taste it. Here, here, here. Oh, you spit most of it out. It's really flavourless. Is it? Yeah, it's like cardboardy. Here's a taste of some of Whitney's food, the smaller ones.

Well, whose dog food am I eating? That's Boeing, the dog we're looking after at the moment. I'm not throwing that. It's flavourless. I'm not wasting perfectly good calories. You've got to do a few more. Yeah, what's Whitney's like? The same.

There's so little. Poor dogs. They taste rubbish. Maybe this is the job for you. Listen to you. This is rubbish. Bring me something else. I could be the man for you. Listen to you. This is rubbish. Bring me something else. I could be the man to improve dog food for dogs everywhere.

Bree and Clint. This is a story about Her Royal Highness, the Queen of England. Oh, hello. This year, she celebrates 70 years on the throne. 70 years. God throne. 70 years! God, her butt must be sore. Is she moved? Not much.

Before we get into the story, how do you reckon she talks? We know how she talks. She does an address to the nation every year. Is she real fancy? Because I can't ever remember. Because you don't see her talking all the time. She does that big long video Every Christmas Oh I'm not watching that

No me neither I watched it once I was like man this is boring She's very proper Very posh Quite softly spoken The Queen And she's quite like

High pitched Not that high pitched Bring it down a bit Not that high pitched Yeah that but Older A lot older Very very softly.

Okay, now you sound like you've got plums in your mouth. So 70 years on the throne. You know those things that old people love to get where it's like a decorative plate? And they might have got a plate for Diana and Charles' wedding or Kate and Will's wedding. A memorable plate. Yeah, yeah, a memorabilia.

Plate. Yeah. So they've printed them for the 70-year jubilee. But there's an issue. I'll get Ben to bring it up on the screen, and I want you to have a look. And can you read me what it says on this plate, please? It says, to commemorate the 2022, the platinum jubileeilee or Queen Elizabeth II of Queen Elizabeth.

The Platinum Jubilee. It is not Her Royal Highness's Platinum Jubilee. It is her Platinum Jubilee. Don't even worry about them spelling Jubilee Jubilee. Look at her face. That's shocking too. That's terrifying. That is not a flattering picture of the Queen.

That doesn't look anything like her. So no one checked this before I went to print, and there are 10,800 teacups, mugs, and plates all emblazoned with Platinum Jubilee on them. I reckon the Platinum Jubilee sounds way more fun than the platinum jubbly. Doesn't it? Yeah. Don't you reckon?

Give anything for a set of platinum jubblies. Because at the jubbly, you get to drink lots of bubbly. Jubbly means boobies, right? Does it? Like your jubblies. Lovely jubblies. Wait, I'm going to Google Urban Dictionary for a second. Lovely jubblies.

Jubbly. Urban Dictionary. Is that Lovely jubblies Jubbly Urban Dictionary Is that what you're locking in? I reckon it means boobies Jubbly I don't know if it does It says here You can choose to believe me or not But that's what I think it is

And that's your Royal News We'll see you next time.
