The ZM Podcast Network. ZM's Bree and Clint, thanks to KFC. You can save like a boss with KFC's Colonel Fix from $9.99. Hello everybody, happy short week. It's Bree and Clint for a Friday afternoon. That story about that guy getting caught red-handed, the burglar. Oh, yeah. Do you know, have you ever thought to yourself,

where does that saying come from? Being caught red-handed. Why is it red-handed? Yeah, I don't know. I just looked it up. Yeah. If you're interested. Apparently, the saying caught red-handed is ancient,

but it's such a powerful statement that we still use it today. Historians think that the term originated in Scotland during the 15th century when it was used to describe capturing a murderer who still had blood on his hands. Ah, there you go. Makes sense, eh? Yeah, it does come up in the think of it, to be honest. But then, if you're just stealing a few things,

you wouldn't have blood on your hands? No. No? No. No. No. But if you, like, if you stab the dog first. Oh, I thought you were doing a different motion. Anyway, good to know. Good history lesson.

$50,000 up for grabs at 4 o'clock today. 5 to 4. Your activator's going to go off for 5 on time. Let's give it away for a Friday. Let's give it away. We're sick of keeping it. It's earning too much interest in our bank account, and we want to give it to you.

Because that's always a problem. That's such a problem. Earning heaps of interest. Also, we're going to do a Friday OQ. We're going to sing Dejo, End of Beginning today. Dejo? Dejo. If people don't know that song,

it's the one from the guy that's on Stranger Things. Yeah. And it's quite popular at the moment. He pronounces it Joe. We call him Dejo. We know better. Dejo. We know better.

We will kick off the show with $50 cash up for grabs with Tradie vs. Lady. It's all thanks to KFC. If you want to play for a Friday, we'd love to have you on board. 0800 DIAL ZM right now. Bree and Clint. What? It's Tradies versus Ladies. Three, two, one, let's go.

Here we are. Tradies versus the Ladies. A Friday. Let's rip into this game because the Ladies, good win yesterday, brought them to 26 for the year. The Tradies only two in front on 28. Let's go yesterday brought them to 26 for the year. The tradies only two in front on 28. Let's go to Potato Town to meet our ladies today. She's

calling from Pukekohe. She's 36 and she once went fishing and fell off the boat. Welcome to the show Natalie. Hi Natalie. Hi. How did you manage that Nat? I wasn't really paying attention and I was wet on the back and decided I wasn't really paying attention. Yeah.

I was wet on the back and decided to just go for a swim. Yeah, you know the people on the boat are meant to fish the fish out of the water, not the people away. You're not meant to fish people out of the water. Yeah, but Nat heard there was many more fish in the sea, so she decided to jump in. In you go. I was feeling a bit hot.

Yeah. Catch of the day. They just throw her back, though, because she wasn't the bit hot. Yeah. Catch of the day. They just throw her back, though, because she wasn't the right size. You're taking on our tradie from Parmy. He's 24 and he loves a good bike ride on the weekend. Well, lucky it's Friday. Welcome to the show, Jacob. Hi, Jacob.

Where did you meet her? Hello. G'day, mate. We love Parmy. Have you been to Porkchop Hill? Yeah. That's the only place I've been to in Palmy. Yeah.

And she didn't go alone. Okay. You were there. Exactly. And like six other people. Jacob and a film crew. Jacob, your buzzer is tradie. Natalie, your buzzer is lady. First to three correct answers gets $50 cash from KFC.

Good luck, guys. Here we go. Question number one. Rebel Wilson's memoir is being pulled from the shelves before it even goes on sale. Name a movie that she has started. Yes, Natalie. Pitch Perfect.

Of course. She started them all. You know I read somewhere that she got paid $60,000 US for her first role in the first Pitch Perfect. And then by the third movie, she was getting 10 million. Wow. Yeah. It shows how popular those films were.

All right. Nice work. One to the ladies. Question number two. What season is it during October? Ladies. Yes, Jacob. It is spring. Yeah. Good counting in, Jacob. It is spring.

Yeah, good counting in your head. It is indeed spring. Nice work. We are all tied up at one apiece. Question number three. What does R-O-Y-G-B-I-V refer to? Lady. Yes, Natalie. Is it the colours of the rainbow? Yes, Natalie.

Is it the colours of the rainbow? It sure is. Nice work. Was that a little voice giving you a lending hand in the background there? No. That's allowed. That's allowed if it is. We just think it's cute.

Very cute. Yeah, I was one of my daughters. And she was on the money. Nice work from one of your daughters. That's two to the ladies, one to the tradies. Question number four. Tell me in 12-hour time, what is 1500 o'clock? Lady.

Yes, Nat? 3 p.m. She's got the word. She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. The mother and daughter duo takes it out. Congratulations, Nat. We've got 50 bucks cash coming your way thanks to KFC.

Thank you. Well done, guys. RUJIBIV. RUJIBIV. Such a good acronym. Yeah. Red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo. Purple.

Purple, violet. Violet. I don't know. Bree and Clint. I read this article that I found very interesting because I have two dogs and I know you have a cat and something that I always wonder about my dogs is do you love me as much as I love you?

Yeah, or are you just using me for food and shelter? Yeah. The main attention I get, especially from my dog Meryl Streep, is when it's dinner time and she will sit right in my face and put her paws all over me. And it's because she wants dinner. As soon as I give her food, she leaves me alone. I get a bit of that from the cat.

I also, because she's getting older, I get a lot of attention at bedtime. What I mean by that is we'll be watching TV and if it's the time that we usually go to bed the cat comes and starts nuzzling us like, come on, let's go to bed. It's very cute. It's the exact same time every night. She'll start bunting us. What time? Oh, I'd rather not reveal that.

No, I want to know. Producers, do you want to know? I want to know. Yeah, let me know. 25 past 9. I am. I've said before Do you want to know? I want to know. Yeah, let me know. 25 past nine. Oh, yeah? I've said before, and I'll say it again. But you've got a TV in the room, though. You put on the TV in the room. You don't go to sleep at 25 past nine.

You're not going to sleep at 25 past nine. I've said it before and I'll say it again. 9.30 is the superior bedtime. 9.30. If you're 100. No. Or a toddler. No. Or retired. No, 9.30. Anyway you're 100. No. Or a toddler. No. Or retired.

No. 9.30. Anyway, I agree and the cat agrees. Well, if the cat agrees, if the cat agrees, then it must be right. Then my wife enforces it. 9.30 it is. But there's some experts from Animal Friends Pet

Insurance that have done a study where they talk about different tell-tale signs that your cat or dog does that shows that they love you. And obviously they're different for cats and dogs because cats and dogs are very different beasts. So do you want to do cats first? Yeah, how do you know your cat loves you? So these experts say that for cats there's subtle signs like a slow blink okay so you know with it with the cat could you demonstrate so you know with the cat if it doesn't like you yeah or if it's scared of you it'll do this yeah kind of

stare at you whereas like if it if the cat likes you it'll just be like oh Oh, it does look kind of familiar. You know how the cat, and it's like, relax. You look like you've had some strong pain medication. But yeah, I know what you mean. You know who I'm talking about. I've seen cats do that. So that's one of them. And they reckon it means that they're relaxed to be in your company.

Yeah, okay. Yeah. Another one, which is a classic from the cat, if they need you with their paws. Oh, like they're needing dough. Yes. Like they're making cat. If they need you with their paws, like a little massage. Like they're needing dough. Yes. Like they're making bread.

Means they love you. Yeah. Or if they give you like a subtle headbutt, you know, where they're like putting their head into your face. That's a big one for cats, I think. Huge. Apparently that's called bunting. Bunting.

That's what I said. The cat comes and bunts us and says, I want to go to bed. That's exactly what it's called. And then the last one they mention is if a cat gives you an occasional lick. Nothing grosser than a cat lick. Oh, it's so scratchy. With their dry, spiky-ass tongue. It's the weirdest looking tongue, too.

Oh, man. Yeah. Anyway, that can mean it's showing affection. Also, if it brings you things. Normally, it's like something they've killed. A dead bug or something. But that's another way they's showing affection. Also, if it brings you things. Normally, it's like something they've killed. A dead bug or something. But that's another way they show you affection. They've said dogs.

It's different for dogs. Hump your leg? No. No, not humping of the leg. But if your dog loves you, it'll lean their body weight into you or on top of you, which my dog does that to me all the time. Or it will shadow you around the house. Because you're the leader of the pack.

Yeah, exactly. Like my dog, well, one of them, the other one couldn't care less, but if I go have a shower, my dog will sit outside and wait at that door until I'm finished and then she'll just follow me around. And they reckon that's a sign that they love you. If they show you their belly, that means they love you. It means they trust you. And another telltale sign is if your dog is,

like, sleeps around you a lot. Yeah, yeah. Because it means that it's vulnerable. They're all pretty obvious, right? Yeah. Those are all the reasons that we think that they love us. I saw one recently. It says something that you can actually do for your dog

that I kept meaning to tell you. Oh, here we go. Where you can show the dog the same affection back. No, this is good. This is good. It'll be perfect for you. This is a bit, isn't it? No, it's not a bit.

No, you're doing a bit. No, I'm not doing a bit. Okay. You, so for a weekend, if you don't have anything on and you don't have anyone coming around, you, the leader of the pack, because the dog looks up to you, but it's weird because you're a bipod. You're on two legs.

Okay. Spend the weekend on all fours. And you watch. I knew this was a bit. You watch what it does for your relationship with the dog. And you're going to come around and film this, aren't you? If you want me to. I don't want.

I'm not. Or we can set up cameras. Alright, okay. You can wear knee pads. I know this is a joke. I know you've got hardwood floors. I know this is a joke and a bit that you've done. But I will send you videos of me trying to interact

with my dog this weekend. Where I will go around. I'm not going to even tell my partner about it. Yeah. Even better. Even better. God, this is easier than I thought. Do it.

We'll get you some knee pads. Okay? And you just see what it does for the relationship. Imagine if the neighbours come around. I know. You can't get up. If you get up, it'll really scare the dog. So you've got to...

I need to win my dog's trust. Stay down there. The neighbours come over. What the hell are you to... I need to win my dog's trust. Stay down there. The neighbors come over, what the hell are you doing? I'm bonding with my animal. What does it look like I'm doing? I'm looking for a Harry Styles super fan to help us out with something next.

It's a bit of a Harry Styles quiz and you'll go head to head with our resident Harry Styles superfan Ella. How much of a superfan do you reckon you would rate yourself as Ella? I'm not very good at the book smart stuff. Okay, she's been dropped as our superfan. Claudia, you're our superfan.

Claudia's a superfan. You've got to step in, Claudia. I know everything. Daylight, you got me hurt in the daylight. I know all those songs too. This is a confidence game. You know what? I'm so confident in one of our listeners that calls up. I reckon it could be two versus one.

And the Harry Styles fan who calls up, one of the people that listen to the show, will take down both of you. I'll carry this team. There's Harry Styles news. I'll give that to you next. And then I want to find the biggest Harry Styles superfan amongst us. So if you think that's you, you should call us right now on 0800-DALZ-ZM.

You can go head to head with Claudia, mostly, and Ella. She's so annoyed. Look at her. All she had to say was, massive fan, Clint. Massive fan. I'll do the job. Massive fan. I'll do the job. Massive fan. I said we were looking for a Harry Styles super fan,

and so is Harry Styles' hometown. They're also looking for Harry Styles super fans at the moment. They want to start running super fan-led tours of Harry's hot spots around where he grew up. They want to turn it into a tourist attraction, do they? Well, it already is. People want to go to the bakery. Yeah, exactly right.

They're doing a pilgrimage to Harry's hometown of Holmes Chapel in Cheshire. What would be? In the UK county of Cheshire. What would be on the list? Like if you're going on this tour, the bakery that he used to work in before he went on X Factor. Correct. There'd be the Harry Styles grandparents' house.

Oh, yeah. And they make you a cup of tea and a biscuit. That'd be nice, yeah. Cup of tea and a biscuit. A bit tiring for them, but yeah. Harry Styles High School. That is on the list. Yeah.

Yeah. What else would be on the list? You go on. Harry Styles where he did a wee in public? Close, where he had his first kiss. Oh, yeah. The spot where he had his first kiss, which is creepy. How do the people know that?

And then you're like- Like, has he confirmed it? And they put little Harry Styles cutouts there, and you can go and have little makeouts with them. Part of the tour. The town already offers maps, so you can do walking tours. Oh, my God. Now they want super fans who will lead people around.

I'll give it a think about. Yeah, good. Yeah, give it a hoon, Tilly. Yeah, don't come in too keen. Good option, I like that. Bree and Clint. This weekend, we will put

our clocks back for the winter as daylight saving. What are we, bears? Yeah, I know. Well, some, some of our listeners are. Comes to an end.

Hibernating. Daylight saving or daylight savings, however you say it, finishes this weekend. Yeah, it's off. And every time this rolls around at this time of year, I find myself getting increasingly irate. I just don't understand why we are still doing it. I'm quite confused as to why this annoys you

because knowing you as a person, you go to bed super early at 9.25. I go to bed on time at 9.30. You go to bed super early at 9.25 and you get up at 6 a.m., correct? Correct. Correct. So you as a person,

you're going to get an hour of sunlight extra in the morning. Yeah. Rather than when you're getting ready for bed anyway. But that's useless to me. I know. That's useless to me at that time of day. I don't care if it's light or dark at 6 a.m. People who get up super early do care.

You know, like if I'm going to, if I was someone who was getting up to go work out or something, I'm saying they're the people that wouldn't mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But as someone who does get up, I'm going to speak for us. We don't mind. We're fine. You don't mind? I don't, it's fine. But you're in bed anyway at 7.30.

But let's, no, stop bringing my bedtime earlier. 9.30, okay? That's how I get eight hours sleep. That's what I said, 8.30. Wouldn't we all sacrifice a little bit of daylight at the beginning of the day if it meant that it wasn't dark at 4.30 in the afternoon? Yeah.

Wouldn't we? Yeah. Wouldn't we? That's what daylight saving is. No, but that30 in the afternoon. Yeah. Wouldn't we? Yeah. Wouldn't we? That's what daylight saving is. No, but that's in the summer. I've Googled it because it says here that daylight saving, which is ending this weekend on Saturday night, is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use

of the longer daylight available during summer so that darkness falls at a later clock time. I get that. And I get that the days are shorter now. So why are we cutting it off by another hour? So what you're saying. Why are we taking another hour off the days that are already short? You're saying.

Why are we doing it? Don't we need this the most in wintertime? Yeah. Is what you're saying. Wouldn't we benefit most from a bit more daylight in the evenings? Yeah. While we can get it. I think it's mainly for the farmers who have to get up at four in the morning.

Yeah. And I love our farmers. I love our farmers. The backbone of this country. But that's who would love this. I have suggested, remember my suggestion last year? Two time zones. One for the farmers.

Normal time, farm time. Because New Zealand only has one time zone. Australia's got two or three. Four maybe. Don't get me started on Australia. Northern Territory. It's a mess. The country's divided over there.

There's a line going down the middle of Queensland or some shit. Some do daylight savings, some don't. Queensland's never done it. Never ever has done it. And you know what it'd be the worst for? If you're living in bloody Queensland, right? Yeah, yeah. And so let's say back in the day there was a show like Australian Idol

or, you know, one of those shows. They would release the winner an hour earlier so then it would always get spoiled for us in Queensland. Someone from Victoria would ring you and go. Oh, do you see Guy Sebastian? Guy Sebastian lost to Shannon Knoll. Whatever it was. Yeah.

Whether there's logic in my normal time and farm time, I don't know. That's just a suggestion. My real suggestion is that we get rid of this daylight saving crap altogether and we just live on summertime permanently. This is such a great text. Yeah. Oh, this is actually everything. This person said, adjust your life to suit the day. Don't change your clock.

Just get up earlier or later. Exactly. So why don't you just do that? No, they're agreeing with me. No. They're saying. They're saying don't change the clock. No, but they're saying.

They're saying don't adjust the clock. No, they're saying that who cares if the daylight savings is changing or whatever. You just stick to what you're doing right now. Like, this is what I'm saying. We pick our own hours, so we finish this show an hour earlier and we start an hour earlier. I want to ask the question because I know that I am sounding

like a grumpy person who doesn't like change, even though it has happened every year before I was born. Is there anyone listening right now who likes the change that is happening this weekend? I'm not talking about the summer one, where we have the extra time. I'm talking, is anybody excited about this weekend

and it being darker earlier? I am kind of because you get an extra hour of sleep this time around. Once. That's Claudia's logic as well. That's one day. It lasts for like a week. I'm just saying for that one day I'm excited. One extra hour. Because when you do the opposite way you lose an hour and

that's not fun. Who are you and why do you like it when daylight savings end? Who are you? And why? And why and why do you like it when Daylight Savings end? Who are you? And why. And why. What do you like about it? Bree and Clint. ZM Bree and Clint, that's Rihanna and Diamonds. It's Friday Jam.

Nothing's going to be shining bright soon, is it? Right? Thank you, Bree. This weekend, Daylight Saving comes to an end. And like she had told us us we will put our clocks back for the winter and it will be bloody dark at five o'clock in the evening all of a sudden i really love a text that's comes through and they said long time listener couple time texter believe it or not i genuinely thought the world's time zone shifted.

I never knew that it was just humans changing what hours suit us best. I love that person. To that person's credit, if you look at it objectively, it's kind of crazy that human beings who are so driven by the time just go, I'm just going to change it. I'm going to change it. I'm going to change it. And then six months, I'm going to change it back. I'm just going to change it. It's quite crazy, eh? I'm going to change it. And then six months, I'm going to change it back. I'm just going to change it. It's quite crazy,

eh? I personally am quite offended by this change that's about to happen every year. It upsets me, but I'm interested to know, does anybody like it? Do you react the way that I react to the summer daylight savings to this one? You're like, yay! Yay! More darkness at night.

More darkness at night. I'm not too worried either way to be honest. So we've asked people to... I'm pretty fine. There needs to be one stable one of us on the show today. I'm kind of just go with the flow. So we said, are you into it? And I said, call up. And, oh, no, we've got a farmer called.

Oh, here we go, Craig. G'day, mate. Craig. Hey, how you going? How you going? You're not going to tell me off for the idea that I had of setting up two time zones, city time and farm time. I think it's a brilliant idea. It's a good time to knock off early as well.

Yes. What type of farmer are you, Craig? Dairy farmer. Dairy farmer. So you guys get up bloody early. Yeah, too early. Yeah. I think it's a brilliant idea.

You think this change that is about to happen is a brilliant idea or you like my two-time zone idea? No, I like the change. You like the change. Because what time are you getting up and what time is the sun coming up for you, Craig? I get up at 4.30 and at the moment the sun comes up at about, must be about quarter past seven, I think. I think you're about right, actually. So it be about quarter past seven I think.

I think you're about right actually. So it'll be quarter past six from Sunday. I get that. I do feel like we're keeping daylight saving at the moment just for the farmers. Farmers keep this country running mate. I think it's an old school thing that they didn't have lights back in the day you see.

Exactly right. That's true. Exactly right. But without the farmers backbone of this country. They're our backbone. Absolutely. Massive backbone. Joe's here. Exactly right. But without the farmers, backbone of this country. They're our backbone. Absolutely. Massive backbone.

Joe's here. Hi, Joe. Hi, Joe. Hey, team. How are we? Yeah, we're good. Do you like this daylight saving change that's happening this weekend? Oh, man.

I love it, eh? Why? I love it. What are the reasons? I like waking up in the dark and finishing in the dark. And then after a long gloomy day, crack home with a nice glowing fire. Oh, that sounds nice.

It does sound nice, Joe. It sounds kind of romantic. But what if you could be outside having a beer or something after work? I'm outside all day, every day anyway. True. So you quite like a little bit of peace and quiet, a bit of dark at night time?

Oh, I do. I do. I don't mind after a long day's work. True, so you quite like a little bit of peace and quiet, bit of dark at night time. Oh, I do, I do, yeah. Got to unwind after a long day's work. Yeah, okay. See what you say. The fire bit kind of sells me, but not enough. What about this text? Someone said, I'm only excited about it being dark early so I can get naked in my spa again.

That's a great point. Without the worry of my neighbours seeing my 48-year-old flabby body by accident. Oh, see, that sold me. That has sold me. Sparring the nude in peace. Yeah. A lot of people, can I say, because you are someone with young kids, Clint. Yeah.

And a lot of people have text through that have young kids and they say they love it because the kids go to bed earlier and they get a bit more of them time at night time. Yeah. That's just what's coming them time at night time. Yeah. That's just what's coming through on the text machine. Yeah. Well, I don't run my kids on daylight. We just pull the curtains and they go to bed. Those of us with toddlers can't wait as five lifetimes before the sun even comes up when we wake up. Yeah, okay.

Because kids get up super early. Yeah. They generally get up at the same time though. So daylight savings is more of a mess up for them. So you're saying, I'd imagine it would take kids a long time to adjust every time daylight savings change. It does. It really messes with them. Would you be annoying?

Someone said, I need the clocks to go back. I'm a painter and it's still dark when I have to start work so I can't see what I'm doing. You kind of need to see what you're doing. You know what? That's kind of a fair point. Crazy that you start painting at 7 o'clock in the morning though. Mate, painters are hard at bloody work. I know that. No, but that's what I'm saying. They paint all day.

Yeah. And painting is definitely one where you have to have light. You've got to have some light. This one is anti. This one is like me. Nightlife is already crap over here in New Zealand. I don't know why we want to make it longer for another hour. I see what they're saying.

I see what they're saying. It's a good point. Anyway, I would say get ready for it. But you actually don't have to do anything anymore. You just have to change the microwave if you can be bothered. And your car. Your phone does it all for you now. Your car and your microwave.

Oh, and your car. Yeah, yeah. Oh, what a hassle. What a hassle. What a hassle. Bree and Clint. Speaking of KFC, we're going to give some away if you can win the one second song challenge.

Time is waiting. You only get one second of a song. No hesitating. You only got one second. Oh, one second. Where Brie and I go head to head guessing songs as quickly as possible with teammates. Winning team

gets 50 KFC chicken dollars. Rosie, you're joining team Clint. Hi. Hi, Rosie. Hi there. And that means Kaylee, you're on my team, my friend. Hi. You and me. You and me to the end. Claudia's going to guide us through this game.

Hi, Claudia. I am the chaperone. You're our shepherd. And I will lead you to whatever's going to happen next. You're our song shirper. Surely Ella's the shepherd. Is this now the time I should mention I am a wolf in sheep's clothing? Uh-oh.

Okay, we can't play. We have to move on. So just beware, I'm saying. Just beware. I'll walk you through the rules. So this is the One Second Song Challenge. We're starting a song from the beginning and I just need you guys to work in your teams and tell me the name of the artist and the name of the song. Brie and Clint, you guys are going first. The theme

for today, these are all singers that started really young. Okay. Ooh, okay. So you guys go first. Buzz in with your names if you can tell me who it is. Good luck. Here we go.

Brie. Brie. Oh, that's Dua Lipa. No. That's Olivia Rodrigo, Good For You. Yeah. You know, I thought having a few weeks off from this game, I'd come back bigger and better and stronger.

You came back real confident. But, nope. We got them early, Rosie. You're going to go next, okay? Come on, Kayleigh. Yeah. Okay, guys, Rosie and Kayleigh, buzz in with your name. The song's for you guys.

Rosie. Kayleigh. Rosie. Billielee. Rosie. Billie Eilish, Bad Guy. You got it. Yeah. Look. Duh.

Kaylee, We're In Trouble. Not going to lie, we're in trouble. Yeah, Clint could win it right here. If I don't get this one, we're out. But you are a sheep in wolf's clothing? A wolf in sheep's clothing. Yeah. Okay, Bree and Clint, this one's for you guys.

Bree. That is Willow Smith, Whip My Hair Back and Forth. Yeah, it is. Just whip it. Whip it real good. What did Ella say the other day? Remember? Yeah, she didn't realise that this was Willow Smith.

I didn't realise it was Will Smith's daughter. And I didn't realise she was what, 13? When she did this, yeah. She was like 12 or 13. Have you realised that Will and Jada have named their kids Willow and Jaden? That's pretty cool. Also mind-blowing. Is it cool?

Is it cool? Cool names. Yeah. Cool names. Interesting. Rosie, we can still clinch it, okay? Come on, Kayleigh. With one. With one. Okay?

Just one. Rosie and Kayleigh, this one's for you guys. I've never seen a diamond in the flesh. Kayleigh. Kayleigh. Kayleigh. Oh, my God. I can't remember.

Take your time. Take your time. I will have to count you down, though. Lord. Do you know the name of the song? Three. Oh, okay. No.

Steal it, Rosie. Unlucky. Steal it. Is it Tame by Lord? No. Oh, my God. It's royals. How old would she have been?

15. 16? 15, yeah. So young. Let's give one more a go. Let's do it. Everybody's in. Everyone, Kaylee, Rosie, buzz in if you know it.

Yeah, anyone can. Free. Free. Jojo, get out, leave. KFC for everybody. Thanks for, get out, leave. KFCV, everybody. Thanks for playing, guys. Yay. Sweet ass.

Nice work, guys. It's been a while, but it's back. It's time for a round of Brian Clint's Friday-oke. Ladies and gentlemen, Brian Clint's Friday-oke. We know you've missed it. We know We know you've missed it. We know deep down you've missed it. Have we missed it?

No. Has the guy who asked to record it missed it? Absolutely not. No. But we know you guys have missed it, so it's back for another week. Maybe you're a freshie. What we do is every Friday, Bree and I go head-to-head in a bit of karaoke. We spend 15 minutes with a professional sound engineer who makes our covers sound

as good as possible. Then we play them. We hear them for the first time that you do. And then you guys decide on 0800 Dial ZM who the winner is. I can always tell because Claudia, producer Claude, loads these in every week. And she always, if it's really

bad, she'll make a comment like this. What did you say, Claude? I said, are you guys excited to hear this? See, that comment right there lets me know that it's not going to be a good week. We'll be doing Joe, end of beginning. I felt strong in the booth this week, I'm not going to lie. Did you?

Yeah, I felt sultry, I felt moody. At least definitely one of those things anyway. Moody, grumpy. I will say I had fun doing this. I don't know if that translates to a good song, but I had fun. Oh, it always translates. Well, you're about to hear both. Once you have heard both,

you are welcome to vote and pick the winner. But seeing as it was my choice this week, I'll go first. All right, good luck, mate. Here's my dojo. Just one more tear to cry One teardrop from my eye You better save it for

The middle of the night When things aren't black and white Enter Troubadour Remember 24 And when I'm back in Chicago I feel it Another version of me I was in it I wave goodbye to the end of beginning.

What did you think? Pretty good. I feel like Claudia is referring to mine when she's, you are, I don't want to play mine anymore. Clint's was obviously good. So that leaves one person. I don't know to play mine anymore. Clint's was obviously good. So that leaves one person. I don't know if good is the word for it.

I thought it was pretty good. There's a lot of parts. There's a lot of moving parts in this song. I thought you did a pretty bloody good job. I'm really keen to hear yours. So here we go. Holy shit. I'm so nervous.

This is. Oh, no. No. I can tell it's going to be horrible. This is Debris. Oh, Dale is laughing as well. Dejo. Oh, no. Good luck's going to be horrible. This is debris. Oh, Dale is laughing as well. Dejo. Oh, no. Good luck.

It could be great. You don't know. Oh, no. Just one more tear to cry. One teardrop from my eye. You better save it for the middle of the night when things are black and white. Enter Troubadour. Remember 24. And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it.

Another version of me, I was in it. I wave goodbye to the end of beginning. What did you guys think? I loved it. Someone just goes, wow, Breeze is rough. Sam, the man who produced them, has just walked into the room laughing. You know what? I'm backing myself. I thought my harmonies were not bad. You went for it. I thought it was better than you. You know what? I'm backing myself. I thought my harmonies were not bad.

You went for it. I thought it was better than your Texas Hold'em, and you won the Texas Hold'em win. Texas Hold'em was one of the worst I've ever done. Yeah, but you won on that, and I think this is better. It was meant to be deadpan and sultry. I think I came across. Oh, 800 dials at end.

We're looking for five people to call through right now and pick the winner of Friday Okie. Who did the best, Jo? Was it Bree or was it me, Clint? Okay, just five people get to vote on this one. Can I just say, audio producer Sam is out in the producer's booth. I'm so sorry you had to put that together. That was so bad.

Bree and Clint. Friday Okie. I'm so sorry you had to put that together. We're in the middle of a heated battle. We've both taken on that Joe song. End of beginning. Mine sounded like this. And Bree sounded like this And when I'm back in Chicago I feel it That was a good bit.

Oh no. We've only read out one bit of feedback so far and it was a text that said, wow, Bree's is rough. And then I read that out and then they followed it up with, sorry, I didn't think this would get back to Bree. We have five people

standing by on 0800 dials at M to pick the winner of the first Friday Okie in a month. Oh no. Tracy and Ashley are going to go first. A combo. Hi girls. Hi guys. Hi. Hi. Guys what did you think? What did you think? Oh Bree 100%

You reckon? You're being nice, aren't you? Your harmonising was perfect. Thank you, guys. Clint looks very upset at your vote, but I will take it. No, I respect Tracy and Ashley and their vote. I think you guys have a musical ear. Are you musically trained, are you?

Yes. I thought so. Yeah, right. I thought so. Thank you musically trained, are you? Yes. Thought so. Yeah, right. I thought so. Thank you, girls. Ask for your money back. Appreciate it. Thanks, girls.

Hi, Kiara. Hi, Kiara. Hi. Hi. What's your feedback for us? We've got to have something to work with. What did you think? I think Mum and I both agreed that Brie was a bit better.

Yep. I think just Brie was a bit more on beat than Clint was. Yes. That's what I'm all about, Kiara. I always strive to just be on beat. It was really good, though. You and your mum both think this, do you, Kiara? Yeah, yeah, she has mum.

Mate. Hello. Hi, guys. Can I just say I think your opinions are very valid. Are they definitely valid? Are they correct? I don't know Correct and valid, we'll take your vote Thanks guys

This is the best April Fools ever, Lily. What was it about mine that you loved? I feel like you were more on tone and I also felt like Clint was screaming at me the whole time. The man who recorded these, who is a musician, has his jaw on the floor, but you know what? A loss is a loss, a win is a win, and it's a 4-1 victory to Team Bree.

Love you, Lily. And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it. Now, listening back to it, I was quite on beat. My sultry tones were coming through. This is an absolute stitch-up. Lily, love you, you mate have a good weekend You too Cheers mate

For ages Hey Sarah You just won Birthday bagger For your mum Hi Thank you Oh nice work Have a good weekend guys Brinkley did him I've been wanting this for ages. Hey, Sarah, you just won birthday bagger for your mum. Hi. Thank you. Oh, nice work.

Have a good weekend, guys. Brinkley, to them. This is Superstitions. Black cats and blue dogs. Brinkley. Liz Hurley and Liz Hurley's son, Damien Hurley, are making headlines around the world at the moment. We're talking about the Liz Hurley sex symbol, icon, dated Shane Warne for a bit.

She's in Austin Powers. In Austin Powers. That movie with Brendan Fraser, Bedazzled. Yeah. She's an icon. Icon. She's an English icon. Her son has recently just directed a film that she has starred in.

Yeah. So her son posted on his Instagram. He's dangerously good looking too. Yeah, beautiful. Looks exactly like her to be honest. He does. Looks a lot like her. Beautiful jawline. But Damien Hurley recently posted on his Instagram

about how he was stoked to finish filming because he was the director, writer, executive producer. He did everything. Cast his mum in the movie. Cast his mum in the movie. It's called Strictly Confidential, but it's got people talking because he was literally the director and Liz Hurley does some very raunchy scenes in it

and he's directing them. He's not only directing them, he told her to do them. Yeah. So he's directing, let's just break this down. He's directing his mother in sexy scenes. Yes, correct. That's what he's doing. He's telling her where to place her hands.

Yep. He's telling her how into it or not into it to be. He probably has influence on how dressed or undressed she is in the scenes. Yeah. There's scenes where her mum's hooking up with other women and all types of stuff.

Apparently, people are saying it's the most sexy role she's ever played. And her son directed it. Yeah. And wrote it. She's 58. He's 22. What are your thoughts? Is it a bit

weird? I'm thinking about directing my mum. That's what I'm thinking about too. In a sexy scene. That's what I'm thinking about. And I could think of, I would rather poke myself in the eye with a hot fork. Love my mum. But if I was in that situation, I'd be like, okay, we've got your full body morph suit

and then we're going to pop a robe over the top of that and then we're going to put you under the duvet and we'll just leave the rest up to the imagination. I would say I'm leaving the set for the day and we've hired an alternate director. He's obviously very close with his mum. Because I've done a little bit of research

and apparently they are more like friends. No. That's what they have said. No, it doesn't matter if you're more like friends. You're still mother and son. It says here you start seeing each other as real humans way sooner than when there are two parents, two kids,

and you're separated from the adults. So he's saying that he had an upbringing where it was just him and her most of the time, so it was more like they were friends. He's like, so. I don't know. It got me thinking. Put her in the sixth sense. It got me thinking about. I put her in the sex scene. It got me thinking about.

Is he a good director? Well, I guess we're about to find out. I guess we're about to find out, aren't we? I mean, it makes me want to watch the film. It does. It's great. Yeah. It's great publicity. Totally.

Very good publicity for the film. Six sells. 100%. Liz Hurley, six scenes sell. With her son. Liz Hurley, six scenes directed by her son. Sell even more. Sell even more. Sell even more.

Turns out. Have you ever been in a situation where you've known people or you've come across certain people where you're like, they're a bit close to that family member? Or that's a bit strange. I've seen it before. I've seen it. I've got a couple of stories.

You want to hear them? So when I went to boarding school, right, and I went to a co-ed boarding school, there was, we had obviously the sister on our side, on the girls' boarding house side, and her brother was on the other side, on the boys' side. Yeah. And people always used to talk about how close these two were, right?

And everyone would kind of joke about it until there was this one day where typical high school students, there was this what would you rather situation question that went around, you know, at 16, 17-year-olds. And I can't remember the exact details, but it was would you rather this, which was something quite bad, or hook up with your brother for 30 seconds? Like they were the two options.

I can't remember what the other one was, but it was bad. And everyone said the real bad one. They picked the real bad one until it came to this one girl who we asked the question. She goes, hook up with my brother. What, without hesitating? Yeah, without hesitating. And everyone kind of looked at each other

and went, oh. Oh no. We don't know about that. Really? Because we know your brother. He's right there. Her brother was cute, but it's your brother. It doesn't matter. It is your brother. It doesn't matter. Her brother could have been Brad Pitt. It doesn't matter. Another

situation, there was this girl that was on a sporting team that I It doesn't matter. Her brother could have been Brad Pitt. It doesn't matter. Another situation. There was this girl that was on a sporting team that I played on. Yeah. Where her granddad was a very, very good plastic surgeon. Yeah. Very good. Couple of years later, it was clear that she had gotten her boobs done. Okay. Her granddad.

The family special, yeah. Her granddad was the one that did the surgery. Oh, that is weird. That is weird. I knew a girl whose dad was a plastic surgeon and she got a new nose. That's different. That's different. That's different.

Oh, my God, that's so much different to granddad giving you some new honkers. Can you imagine? Your granddad has to do the post-op and he's like, oh, they look good, nice and even, nice and even. Whenever he sees you at Christmas, he's like, my bloody handiwork's holding up well. I've done bloody good work on you. I did a good job there. Nice and even.

That's a creepy question, but Brie came up with it, so we're going to ask her. No, I didn't come up with it. Yeah, you did, but ask her. Stand behind it. Yeah, I'll stand behind it because imagine the stories. Yeah. My question is, did you know someone or have you come across someone

where they were just a bit too close to a family member? It was just something a bit weird. Brianne Clint. Do you know someone who's just a bit too close with a family member because Liz Hurley's son, 22 years old, has directed her in a very, very, very sexy scene. Not just scene, the whole movie. The whole movie.

Apparently people are saying it's the raunchiest role she's ever had. Can we just pick this text apart for a second? And it's based on the Liz Hurley, Damien Hurley, mother-son dynamic. He's directing, she's doing the sex scene. Here's the text. Okay, let's be really honest here. If my mum was Liz Hurley, I'd be thinking, you know what? There's worse things I could be looking at.

No, no. No, no. Not okay. This texter. I don't care how This texter Is suggesting That Liz Hurley Is so hot That

Even if she was your mum You'd have to find her attractive That is not true That is not true By extension That texter is suggesting No one is that hot That there is a level of hotness

That their own mum could be That outweighs DNA match At which point They would be attracted To their own mum No be. That outweighs DNA match. At which point they would be attracted to their own mum. No, no, no. No, no, no. God, let's give this text a whirl. Someone said, a girl that I was really close with at high school

did my smear last year and during the smear she said to me, I recognise you from school. I hope she was looking at your face. This will freak you guys out. My sister married her dead husband's father. What? Her husband passed away. Okay.

And she married her father-in-law. How does that happen? Her husband died. Yeah. She got together with his father. No, I get it. I get it, but what? Grief.

Is it grief? Yeah. Shared trauma. Is that what the son would have wanted? My bestie's twin brother married their first cousin, who they grew up with. Did they? Come on now.

Come on, legally, did they? Or were they, quote unquote, married. Come on, legally, did they? Or were they, quote unquote, married? Someone said, which one did you just say? My bestie's twin brother. Yeah. Someone else said, my ex-brother-in-law married his first cousin. They had five children together and it's not illegal in New Zealand.

Yuck. The amount of times that we have talked about the laws around this. Around cousin stuff. Yeah. Anyone would think that we're interested in our cousins. We're not. None of them are that hot. Someone else said, I went to school with a girl from a big family and one of the older sisters was a beautician.

She used to give all of her sisters Brazilians in the living room while her parents and brother were present. Okay, that's the part where you lost me. The sister giving her sisters Brazilians. Okay, but not when the mum and dad's sitting there watching Family Feud. Would you give your sister a Brazilian? No, I wouldn't.

But... What if your brother was there to supervise this text message? No, that's where it lost me. When the mum and dad is sitting in the room and you've got your legs kicked up in the air. I'm trying to think if I would wax my brothers behind. Would you? I don't think I would.

Crack sack? Back sack and crack. Back sack and crack? Back sack and crack for the bro. Like, sisters do do that stuff. Like, it's kind of like. Do they? Like, it's not, like, you're not looking at that.

You're just being like, oh, yeah. Mum's like, do me next. Okay, I'll draw the line. Oh, I didn't know she was getting one of those. Do me next. We haven't got enough wax, Mum. Oh, come on. How would you know?

All right, we'll be back after the break. This is an article that went big on the New Zealand Herald this week titled, Why Bosses Don't Like Gen Z. And I thought, rough. That sounds a bit rough. A bit rough. Because I mean, speaking from experience, we've had nothing but problems with our Gen Z.

We didn't do an article about it. Am I really that difficult? But we wouldn't say that on air. Oh my gosh, what do you guys say behind my back? Before I tell you what James McNeil, he is the boss in the article, what his reasons were, I thought we would ask our resident Gen Z, our producer Ella, who when I brought this up, she goes, oh, I know, we're terrible.

Well, yeah. You said. Okay, I'm really interested to know what you were talking about when you said that. Do you think you know why some employers are maybe a bit iffy about hiring a Gen Z? Yeah. I love this discussion. So let's say back in the day, there was a generation that worked super hard,

seven days a week, like Christmas. You work for what you want, right? Yeah. And that's true. There was no work-life balance. Yes, nothing. And I feel like that's one end of the scale, and now some Gen Zs are on this other side of the scale

where it's kind of some of us can expect things to be handed to us straight away. Okay. And that can be the disconnect and the frustration these bosses now have where they worked for ages. I do think a lot of millennials, I think you are right, I think a lot of millennials went too far the other way and they made their job their entire personality and working late made them seem like they were more important.

Putting that at its top priority was working and doing overtime. Which is unhealthy. Totally. Which is unhealthy. But then Ellie, yes, the other end of the spectrum, taking a week off to water your plants. Yeah, totally. Or like how many plants do you have?

Or just like, I don't know, pay or whatever it is. Like we do have to like push through it. You're not far off. You're saying that is it about like Gen Z feel like they just deserve everything without paying their dues a little bit? Is that what you're saying? Well, those are your words. But that's what Ella's saying.

No way. I feel like we need to find a nice middle ground. Do you want to know what the reason is according to these bosses? Yeah, what do they say? So they said that the problem they have with Gen Zs is that they will often not turn up for their interviews. Oh, that's not good. Or if they do turn up, they'll turn up late. Oh, not good or if they do turn up they'll turn up late oh not good and even if

they do turn up they often turn up wildly unprepared for the interview i feel like yeah there's been this and this is not an excuse has covid made us awkward and not reliable in some ways i think that's a fair i think that's a fair comment for you to say yeah because like you didn't go and you didn't have those normal kind of years where you were going to job interviews or the normal kind of where you were entering the workforce. Yeah, that bit between school and work where you had to put yourself out there.

I agree with you, Ella. Yeah. Interesting. He said the ones that did show up for their interviews didn't know what they were doing or what they were there for. Oh, my God. Not ideal. They're like, okay, what position are you applying for? And they're like, um. The one that's open?

The job. I'm here for the job. Yeah. I feel like there's not this desire to go out there and get a job, you know? We're back maybe. Do you think Gen Z's are less aspirational? Maybe just not inspired to work. Maybe inspired to do something else.

You know what? This is fascinating. This is a fascinating insight. I think you're right. I think Gen Z are kind of like there's more to life than slogging it out in a, you know. Which is not a bad thing. Not a bad thing at all. But there needs to be a balance as well.

Here's the issue. And I feel like the Gen Zs are new to the workforce. We're smack bang in the middle where we're not the bosses yet, us millennials. No. And then above us, the boomers and the Gen Xs are the bosses. These boomers and Gen Xs better learn how to operate their Gen Zs quickly because according to the World Economic Forum,

they are expected to make up a quarter of the entire workforce by 2025. In two years' time, a quarter of the entire workforce will be Gen Zs. Yeah, we need to get cracking. Not at this rate, because none of them want to go to work. They don't know what they're here for. Yeah, they're kind of like, stuff this.

And we need them. We do. To run our TikTok accounts. I could do a full podcast on this. Yeah, to do our podcasts. I would love to hear it. I'm sure you would, Bree. No, I actually would. I actually am fascinated by it. I love this chat. Because in my day and age,

we worked a lot of hours and slogged it out and look at where it got us. Do you realise that you just used the words back in my day? Yeah. Do you realise we're at that age now? Yeah, which I can the words back in my day. Yeah, I did on purpose. Do you realise we're at that age now? Yeah, which I can say, back in my day. Anyway, we love you, Gin Zeds. Ellie. Get to work.
