Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. G'day everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint show. G'day everyone, happy Friday. Question for the team and anyone listening, does anyone else do this whenever I'm in a public bathroom? Stand on the toilet and whenever I'm in a public bathroom, if I... Stand on the toilet seat and squat. No, definitely not. But if I'm in a cubicle and I hear someone else is in a cubicle, I always wait until I hear them leave before coming out of the cubicle
Starting point is 00:00:37 because I feel like ashamed or something that I'm going to meet them at the sinks. Does anyone else do that or is it just me? I don't, but I do understand where you're coming from. And it's not like only... You mean when you're in there like destroying the bowl? No, no, no. And you've caused an absolute ruckus. No, to be honest, it's more the other way.
Starting point is 00:00:57 I need to leave under the cover of anonymity. No, I'm only talking about doing wheeze, but if I hear someone else having a bad time, I don't want to make eye contact with them in case they feel embarrassed. I never want to know who made those noises. No. You know what I mean? In fact, can people in public toilets quieten down, please?
Starting point is 00:01:15 That's disgusting, being able to hear someone else. Sometimes you can't help it. Nah. Sometimes people can't help it. You can go softly. Sometimes you've got to... You can lessen the load. There's a lot of different levels of IBS
Starting point is 00:01:26 and some people have it mild, some people have it worse. Don't bring IBS in this. Anyway, should we talk about the show? What's on the show today?

Starting point is 00:04:51 Have a good weekend. Bree and Clint. Could you be making money out of your wedding day? Ooh, okay. That is my question. Yeah. Because... Are you going to do a big Women's Day deal?
Starting point is 00:05:02 Are you going to sell the photos to Women's Day? Like Maddie McLean. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, totally. Do you reckon they got paid for that? I think so. Do you reckon? Yeah, I reckon.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Yeah. Because it was an exclusive. Oh, that'd be nice. Yeah. Yeah. And the photos were beautiful. Weren't they? Great photos.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Now, I'm talking about this situation where a friend of the bride and groom feels like she got scammed. A friend of the bride and groom feels like she got scammed. A friend of the bride and groom feels like she got scammed at the wedding? At the wedding. Okay. So here's the situation. So a really good friend of hers was getting married. It's her wedding day.
Starting point is 00:05:36 And at the wedding, they had a cash bar. Okay. Meaning you had to pay for your drinks. Okay. So they had drinks there, but you had to pay for them. Right. Okay. Meaning you had to pay for your drinks. Okay. So they had drinks there, but you had to pay for them. Right. Okay. My least, my least favorite kind of wedding, but I understand times are tight. Apparently the bride and groom don't drink much. So everyone was kind of like, oh, that makes sense. They don't. Nah, I take it back then they're just being eggs. Nah. I think it's, I think it's rough to have a cash bar at a wedding, but I mean. If you,
Starting point is 00:06:03 if you have to have a cash bar to make the day financially feasible, I get it. Yeah. If you're just having a cash bar because you don't drink- Yeah, then that's not fair. Fun sponge. Yeah, that's not fair. Well, you wait. You're about to get way more angry.
Starting point is 00:06:16 So apparently she met up with the friend after she went on their honeymoon. Yeah. So the bride and groom have gone on a honeymoon for a month in Italy. Okay, nice. Big elaborate trip. Love it. Anyway, she said to her friend, how was the honeymoon? She's like, it was amazing.
Starting point is 00:06:35 It was like incredible. We went and did this and that and this and that. And anyway, she then dropped this massive bombshell and said something about the wedding. Okay. So, apparently, she told her friend that her family friend owns a liquor store and gifted the bride and groom all of the alcohol that they served at the cash bar on the wedding night. You are kidding.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Right? So, wait. So, apparently apparently the friend did the math in her head. So she's like, okay, I got around five drinks and I spent around a hundred bucks. Okay. And there was 200 guests at the wedding. So roughly do the maths on that. They would have made around $20,000. Over the bar,
Starting point is 00:07:26 these people. Oh my God. Do you think they're in the wrong? If everything that they have heard, which it's all rumours, but if everything in that is correct. No, that's
Starting point is 00:07:41 from the bride. Oh, the bride said they got the booze for free. The bride told the friend, we got gifted all the alcohol because a family friend works at a liquor store. You've still got to pay the venue to serve it. So there is a charge. But it's usually like a dollar a drink.
Starting point is 00:07:57 They hired one bartender and paid them $20 an hour plus tips. Are they in the wrong? Did they also have a wishing well at the wedding? It doesn't say. They're like, oh, please don't buy us any gifts. Just give us cash. Because when I read this, obviously the story is skewed
Starting point is 00:08:19 that the bride and groom are horrible and blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. When I read it, I was kind of like. Really? Yeah. Like kind of like. Really? Yeah, like, I mean. Really? I don't think it's that bad. I don't think having a cash bar at your wedding is that bad.
Starting point is 00:08:35 I do think charging people for booze that you got for free to make a profit is bad. Oh, see, I don't think it's that bad. Really? On selling the free booze that you got, you don't think that's bad? Well, they have been gifted the booze as a wedding present from their friend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Just to serve at the, oh yeah, maybe it is bad. But you're the host. Maybe it is bad. You're the host. You're hosting these people at your event. Am I? Maybe. If they didn't have a wishing well, it's not as bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why is that? Why is it not as bad if they don't have a wishing well? Because they're asking for money all over the place in that situation. Yeah, true. have a wishing well, it's not as bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why is it not as bad if they don't have a wishing well? Because they're asking for money all over the place in that situation.
Starting point is 00:09:09 With a wishing well situation, you're giving some money as a gift and they usually will use that money to go on honeymoon. But in return for that, you're getting dinner and drinks and a great day. So I think it's fine if they ask for no gifts, no wishing well, but had the cash bar. And you got free dinner. And you got free dinner, yeah. Okay, what if there was no sit-down dinner,
Starting point is 00:09:31 there was just a few snacks going around on plates? Oh, not cool. Because then you just got people there to make money on the bar. Friday Jams, Avril Lavigne. Have you ever realised that the updated modern song of that is Ariana Grande? Which one? Break up with your girlfriend. Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Buzzy G. They're both girls who are like, hey. Get rid of her. Yeah, ditch her. An upgrade to me. Brie, do you know what an LAT couple is? They're real big on the lat pulls at the gym. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Yeah, that's what it is. Just get their lat pump on. Yeah, they're a bodybuilding couple. Yeah. Who always skip leg day. Big lats. No, LAT stands for living apart together. Living apart together.
Starting point is 00:10:23 A living apart together couple. A couple who live in separate houses. Oh, right. So a new relationship. No. And you live apart. No. A long-term relationship where you choose to continue to live separately.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Right. It's different. Because every other relationship, eventually you had a point and you go, well, I guess we should move into it together. Yeah, that's what... Whether it's romantically or financially. And it's what the well I guess we should move into it together. Yeah that's what whether it's romantically or financially. That is what the norm
Starting point is 00:10:47 says that we should do. I was reading an article this week by a woman who's in an LAT relationship. They've got their own houses. They are older. They're in their 50s
Starting point is 00:10:57 and I think they're both divorced. Okay so it's like their second time around the sun. Yeah yeah yeah. They spend weekends together but not all weekend. Like sleepovers? Yeah sleepovers on the weekends. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They spend weekends together, but not all weekend.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Like sleepovers? Yeah, sleepovers on the weekends. Yeah. But not all weekend. They still go and do their own thing and stuff. They don't want to be step-parents to each other's kids. So there's no like... Crossover?
Starting point is 00:11:18 Yeah. I think he's got like a 15 and a 17-year-old, and she's like, I have no intention of being their mother figure. Yeah, right. They've got a mum for that. I'm your girlfriend, not their step mum. Yeah, right. So she stays out of all of that and she just comes around for drinks and dinner and stuff on the weekend and movies and sleeps over. And yeah, they just continue to live in separate
Starting point is 00:11:39 houses. Do you think it could work for younger couples too? I mean, I know the main barrier would be the cost, especially at the moment, having to maintain two houses or two rents or two mortgages. I think it obviously gets blurry if there's kids involved. Yeah, yeah, definitely. But you and your partner, for example, no kids involved yet. Would you like to be a live apart together couple? I mean, yes.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Would you like your own house i mean yes and no i feel like i'd get lonely but it would be nice because you and i've talked about this before like it'd be nice to have like an apartment like somewhere that's like close to the city or close to you know where the bars or the whatever is so if you do go out you can just go stay at the apartment yeah that'd be quite nice who gets to live in the apartment though? You or your partner? You rotate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Or you don't, no one lives in the apartment or lives in the house. You both live in the house, but then you can just have a night or two when you want to. Yeah. I'll be like, shotgun the apartment. Oh, it's Friday. Shotgun the apartment. No kids. Is there kids at the apartment?
Starting point is 00:12:42 Nah, it's too dangerous. Shotgun the apartment. Any dogs to feed at the apartment? Nope. Shotgun the apartment. Shotgun the apartment. No responsibility at the apartment? Nah, it's too dangerous. Shook on the apartment. Any dogs to feed at the apartment? Nope. Shook on the apartment. Shook on the apartment. No responsibility at the apartment? Shook on.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Has anyone messed up the apartment this week? Like, is it dirty or anything? No, no one's been there. Shook on the apartment. Yep, that's where I'm going. Yep, love it. That's where the issue would come in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:58 You know? I know my wife would love a living apart together relationship. She would absolutely froth having her own house. Just her own space away from you. Yeah, would she miss me? I like to think eventually. Eventually. How long would it take?
Starting point is 00:13:14 I don't know. Yeah, like realistically, how long do you think it would take? A few weeks probably. A few weeks? Maybe longer. Maybe you should do a two weeks on, two weeks off situation. She'd miss me on bin day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:26 She'd miss me when the bins needed to be taken out. That's when she'd notice. She'd be like, oh, that's right, Clint's not here. Anyway, if you're interested in it, proposing it to your partner, it has a name. It's called Living Apart Together. Yeah. There's just that little pesky thing of the cost of living at the moment.
Starting point is 00:13:41 The only issue is it's twice as expensive as regular living. Yeah. So. Oh, well. Yeah. Pl as expensive as regular living. Oh well. Plenty of money around. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Dean's here. Jennifer Lawrence has explained why she wore jandals to the Cairns Film Festival the other week, Dean. This is very good actual thinking for her because she said that the shoes that they gave her to wear with her outfit were one size too big and that when she got there, she was like, I'm going to fall over because, you know, she falls, right? She fell over at the Oscars.
Starting point is 00:14:16 She fell over outside the Oscars and she just felt like, I'm not going to go down a con. So she wore, yeah, we call them like, you know, flip-flops, pluggers, thongs, jandals. She wore them on a red carpet. And here's the thing, no one was going to see because she has this big, red, beautiful dress. But she was going down some stairs and she lifted the front up,
Starting point is 00:14:36 and that is when a photographer caught the jandals on camera. My God. For her own safety. Dean, it's so relatable. It's ridiculous. Like, I feel like this is quite interesting that everyone has been in that situation where you feel like you've got your whole outfit ready and then at the last minute you realise something's not quite right.
Starting point is 00:14:58 This happened to me one time when I went to an awards and I realised that the bra that I'd taken with me was actually not right for the dress that I was wearing and you could see it everywhere. So I ended up wearing no bra and I had to use masking tape to strap my boobs like around my body. Like legit. And it worked fine but you know and I'm the only one that knew but it was just like panic. How was taking the masking tape off at the end of the night? Yeah, the fake tan came off with the masking tape. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Now I can relate to that. You should have fake tanned after the masking tape like you were painting the skirting boards of a house. Yeah, true. You had a perfect line around there. What felt better, taking off a bra or taking off the masking tape? Well, the masking felt better, taking off a bra or taking off the masking tape? Well, the masking tape hurt. Yeah, right. Whereas like a bra doesn't hurt when you take it off. So I'd say the bra.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Yeah. There you go. You can probably guess. I've never done either. That's the latest with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Bree and Clint. Time is waiting. You only get one second of a song. No hesitating. You only get one second of a song
Starting point is 00:16:05 No hesitating You only got one second, one second Time for a game of the one second song challenge where we go head to head guessing songs as quickly as humanly possible. Sometimes we're really good at this. Sometimes we are really fast. And sometimes it's real bad. But one thing that's always the same is we have a teammate to join us.
Starting point is 00:16:25 And Big Steve. You'll be on my team, mate. Yeah, mate. How do you go with your music? Oh, pretty average. You and me both, Steve, so we'll make a good team. Steve and Bree will be taking on Anna and Clint. Hi, Anna.

Starting point is 00:17:07 So I always have a theme for this. Yeah. And today is like no other. There is a theme. And that is songs that people love to hate. Oh. Interesting thing. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:16 I got you. Yeah. I got some in mind already. Oh, yeah. Keep those in mind just in case. Yeah. So I'm going to start a song from the beginning. You just need to tell me the artist's name and the name of the song.
Starting point is 00:17:25 That's all I'm asking for. Okay. So buzz in with your name. Bree and Clint, you're going to go a song from the beginning. You just need to tell me the artist's name and the name of the song. That's all I'm asking for. So buzzing with your name, Bree and Clint, you're going to go first. Here's your song. Great. That's Justin Bieber, Baby. Crushed it. Correct me if I'm wrong, one of the most disliked videos on YouTube. Probably, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:45 That video has got more dislikes than like speeches from Hitler. Wild. No shit. Yeah, why? Probably because no one's Googling those speeches. People love to hate.
Starting point is 00:17:54 We're on the board, Steve. She got that off one note. Yeah, that was actually really impressive. It's so, play from the start again. I got it too.
Starting point is 00:18:03 I was going to say. I just wasn't fast enough. Anna's going to be fast though, aren't you, Anna? Hopefully. We know Steve's fast. Okay, Steve and Anna, this one is for you guys. Buzz in with your name if you can tell me what this song is. It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters
Starting point is 00:18:25 Anna. Was it Carly Rae Jepsen? Oh, that's a great guess. Steve, you want to guess? It was Taylor Swift. Do you know the name of the song? I can't think of it. What's two plus 2?

Starting point is 00:21:09 I like this Carly Rae song. It's definitely one of my top three favourite Carly Rae Jepsen songs. Brie and Clint. And Never Be The Same Again. Good song. Great song. I literally was vibing as soon as it came on. I was like, oh, this takes me back to a place.
Starting point is 00:21:26 I've got to go into a radio show. Hey, the new episode of The Kardashians is out. I'm sure a lot of people listening right now, that's their Friday night plans. Go home, blob out, watch some trashy Kardashians. In this episode, Kim Kardashian, the most famous woman on the planet, reveals that she's got a secret boyfriend. Yeah, and they won't, In this episode, Kim Kardashian, the most famous woman on the planet,
Starting point is 00:21:46 reveals that she's got a secret boyfriend. Yeah, and they won't. I mean, the thing that interests me is that this is filmed like six months ago. Yeah. And they're talking about the secret boyfriend then. And she's managed to keep it a secret. Either that or they weren't together for very long. Yeah, they may have already broken up.
Starting point is 00:22:03 You're right. She says in the episode she'd prefer to keep any possible romances away from the public eye so they can develop at their own pace. Fair enough. This is her talking to Scott Disick about it. I'm not even going to ask you who. So let's call this guy Fred. Drop dead Fred. Drop dead Fred.
Starting point is 00:22:22 All right, so let's go with Freddy. Does he meet the standards? Oh, so meets the standards. Meets the standards. Yeah. Fred Durst. That's who it is. No one would expect it.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Chocolate starfish. I was thinking... Breathe in, breathe in. I was thinking Fred again. I think he's 25 years younger than her, but he's very cool and trendy at the moment. It's true. Or probably the most likely one,
Starting point is 00:22:52 Freddy Krueger. Fred Flintstone. Fred Flintstone. Yep-a-dab-a-hoo. This is, even though it's Kim Kardashian, it's quite relatable, I feel. She said as soon as you put a label on it,
Starting point is 00:23:05 then you have to explain it to people. As soon as you say, this is my boyfriend, obviously it's a lot more amplified for her because as soon as she says, this is my boyfriend, it's on every news publication in the world and it's being joked about by every late night talk show host. But you can relate to it. When you are seeing someone at the start,
Starting point is 00:23:25 you often don't want to let anybody know about it so it can just be your thing and you don't have to define it to other people, right? You want to live in the love bubble. That's what I call it. It's a love bubble where there's no extra pressure, there's no outside distraction and you don't have to chat to anyone about it.
Starting point is 00:23:42 You just live in the moment. And it's fun. Yeah. Like you're sneaking around but you're not actually doing anything wrong. it. You just live in the moment. And it's fun. Yeah. Like you're sneaking around but you're not actually doing anything wrong. Yes. You know?
Starting point is 00:23:49 The best kind of sneaking around. And you're like, where should we go? Where should we catch up where no one knows us? You know? Fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:57 I thought we could talk to people this afternoon who have been in secret relationships and they could tell us why they were in a secret, why did you keep your relationship a secret? There'd be so many different reasons.
Starting point is 00:24:08 There's so many different reasons. I'm thinking people who are dating someone they shouldn't be dating or dating someone that their friends or family disapprove of or something like that, you know? Have you ever been in a secret relationship? My wife, Lucy, and I kept our relationship on the DL for a wee while. Yeah, right. Just so we didn't have to, because we had a lot of mutual friends.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Yeah. And we just didn't want to. Want the extra pressure. No, we just kind of wanted to keep it to ourself for a bit. Fair enough. It was fun. Yeah. Like it was, it added like a real kind of like, I don't know, spark to it.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Spicy element. Yeah. Yeah. What about you? Yeah. I kept a lot of my relationships secret from my family in the fear of being judged and disowned. For religious reasons? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:03 We laughed, but it was quite a horrible time in my life. Which will be the case for a lot of people as well. But that technically secret relationship. Yeah, absolutely. That falls under the... Different types. That falls under the... It does.
Starting point is 00:25:16 ...worried they wouldn't approve of the relationship category. Exactly, it does. Brian Clint. Kim Kardashian has a secret boyfriend, so we're asking you, do you have a secret boyfriend or girlfriend or anything? Have you got a secret relationship that nobody knows about? And why?
Starting point is 00:25:29 Yeah, why did you give it a secret? What's the reason? Was it just for fun? There's so many good texts coming through on this. Someone said, two girls in a football team. There's a bit of an age gap. It's a secret to everyone. Made games and training fun being secret homos.
Starting point is 00:25:46 That would make it fun. Someone said, I slept with a guy who worked with my dad for several years. Told dad years later he wasn't angry, just disappointed. Lol. Someone else said, I dated my ex-partner for three and a half years.
Starting point is 00:26:01 His family didn't know about us because he was Filipino and I was a Kiwi. years. His family didn't know about us because he was Filipino and I was a Kiwi. He said his family wouldn't approve. Eventually we broke up because I wanted to progress the relationship, but he still wouldn't tell his family. That's sad. After three and a half years.
Starting point is 00:26:16 That's real sad. You guys would have so much history together over three and a half years. But eventually, you know, you've got to move on. No, that's what I'm saying. If it doesn't go anywhere. He wouldn't even break the family thing for that after three and a half years. That's hard.
Starting point is 00:26:28 That's a hard one. Our relationship is a secret as there is a 17-year age difference and we're both involved in the same sport. Ooh. Ooh. What's the sport? That might be the one about the football team. It could be football, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Yeah. Can we get some details? Yeah. I need more. Are you bloody... Are they the coach and you're a player? What's the deal? Let's talk to a caller who wants to be anonymous
Starting point is 00:26:56 and that's always fine on this show. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. Tell us, are you in a secret relationship right now or is this from your past? It's from my past, but it's still recent. Okay. Yeah, tell us the details. So we were secretly seeing one another for nine years
Starting point is 00:27:15 until I fell pregnant and my daughter is now seven months old. Wow. So why for nine years did you guys keep your relationship a secret? Because he is married. They're in an open marriage. Okay. They can't separate or divorce because I've got two kids. And they're in an open marriage because she's gay. And being gay is not accepted within her family.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Wow. God, this is complicated. So she has a quote-unquote husband, but she is gay. And he knows that. But it's just to keep up appearances for her family and so that they can have kids. Correct. Oh, that's so hard for him. They've been married for 20 years.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Oh, my God. They've got a 13 year old boy and a 9 year old girl. So did she know about you, Anonymous? No. Oh, right. But the relationship was open? Yeah, the relationship was open. Was it like, don't ask, don't tell?
Starting point is 00:28:18 Yeah, he well, the rule was that they were supposed to tell one another when they were seeing each other. Okay. But he couldn't tell her because it had just gone on for too long. And did you have to separate because you got pregnant? Well, she found out. But she's gay. Like what?
Starting point is 00:28:38 Yeah. But she, oh God. That he's fathered another child. Right. So they've now hidden our daughter from their children. I imagine in open marriage there's a don't get anyone else pregnant rule. Yeah. So she found out when she opened his phone and it opened up to my text messages
Starting point is 00:29:00 talking about our daughter and she saw pictures. Anonymous. This is so complicated. Can I ask, because I think it's horrible for both of them. She obviously doesn't feel like she will be accepted for being exactly who she is, so she's had to hide it from her family, so much so that she's married a man and had children with a man, even though she's gay.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Even though she's gay. But then he's also now stuck in this situation where he's kind of trapped. It's not very fair. How did he feel, you know, about the whole thing? So it took a toll on him mentally when I fell pregnant, not being able to, because we had been seeing each other for so long.
Starting point is 00:29:40 He, you know, reached that point where he couldn't tell her because he should have done so from the beginning, that he ended up having to go to a mental health retreat. Oh, my God, anonymous. This is horrible. Does he have a relationship at all with you and his daughter? Yes, he does. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Okay, that's good. I mean, we're talking about how stuck both of them are. Do you feel a bit stuck as well because you're in this? I do because on one hand, I feel like I'm a single parent. And my past, I knew that I had half brothers, but I didn't meet them until 20 years ago. So I kind of feel like it would be the same for her. You know that you've got these siblings, but you
Starting point is 00:30:23 may not be able to meet them until you're older, that sort of thing. And it's hard for you because you know that there's other siblings to your daughter. It makes it really hard for you. It's going to work out, Anonymous. I know it feels like, to me, that it all has to come to a head and that maybe it started to come to a head. I'm glad it's come out with her.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Correct. We're no longer like the mushrooms it's come out. Yes, correct. We're no longer like the mushrooms in the dark anymore. Yes, correct. But it just kind of started. And it might be rough for a bit, but it's going to be good in the end. Honestly, though, Anonymous, if it's been going on for this long, I feel like you need to move on with your life as well and you need to have a partner that, you know, you can actually tell people and put you first and your daughter.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Like it's just. 100%. Yeah. Oh, my God. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Appreciate it, Anonymous. Good luck. It's a lot.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Wow. That's so much to wrap your head around. Yeah. So much. Nine years. Makes Kim Kardashian's secret boyfriend sound a little bit silly, doesn't it? Yeah, that storyline in the Kardashians, lame. Brian Clint.
Starting point is 00:31:27 ZM, Brian Clint, you're on ZM. That's Jack Harlow on ZM. And now it's time for Friday Oki, where? On ZM. Ladies and gentlemen, Brian Clint's Friday Oki. Yay!
Starting point is 00:31:45 The hardest... What's going on? I feel like I'm in Ibiza. It's better. Alright, this is Friday Oki. It's a karaoke competition. It's not better around the bush. No.
Starting point is 00:32:00 We do our best to sing songs each week. We have a professional do the doers magic, make them sound as good as possible. And then you guys listening to this decide who did the best Friday Okie of the week. Correct. Last weekend for the long weekend, we ran a competition on ZM's Instagram to find out who was ZM's music monarch. Yeah, the reigning queen of ZM's playlist. Yes, turns out it was Taylor Swift. So today we're going to sing this Taylor Swift song.
Starting point is 00:32:35 I don't know why we keep picking Taylor Swift songs because we've never done a good job at any of them. She's so much better at singing than you realise. She's an incredible singer. I haven't got anxiety like this about Friday Oaky in a long time and I really regretted
Starting point is 00:32:56 my choice as soon as we started doing it and I was like, this is going to be horrible. We haven't heard our own performances but producer Claudia has. Claude, if you had to sum them up in a word, what would you say about our Friday Oki performances this week? One word to sum them up. Wow.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Oh, no. Fair enough. Should we just do it? Should we just do this thing? Oh, God. I feel like it's going to be another driver's license. You're going to go first, and then I'll play mine. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Here's Breeze Fridayoke. You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said Because she doesn't get your humour like I do I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night Get your humor like I do. I'm in the room. It's a typical Tuesday night. I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like.
Starting point is 00:33:57 And she'll never know your story like I do. It's all right so far. Not bad. But she wears short skirts. I wear t-shirts. She's sheer sheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands
Starting point is 00:34:18 You've been here all along so why can't you see You belong with me. You belong with me. Oh, I'm happy with that. I'm happy. I think you dodged a bullet. I dodged a big bullet. I reckon.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Can I give a shout out to Sam, our audio engineer? Thank you, mate. I owe you a beer. Whatever filter he put over your performance. Oh, excuse me. That was all me. You just thanked him for making it sound good. Nah, well, I mean.
Starting point is 00:34:48 I'm just saying, I hope he worked the same magic on mine. Okay, well, we're about to find out, aren't we? You have to compare. We're not asking you to compare us to Taylor Swift. No, no, no. We're asking you to compare us to each other. Exactly. So to do that, you have to hear my Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:35:05 All right, here we go. You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset. She's going off about something that you said. Because she doesn't get your humour like I do. I'm in the room, It's a typical Tuesday night. I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like and she'll never know your story like I do. But she wears short skirts. I wear t-shirts. She's chair captain and I'm on the bleachers dreaming about the day when you wake up and find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time if you could see that i'm
Starting point is 00:35:53 the one that understands you baby you're all alone so why can't you see you belong with me You belong with me Who knew you were American? Who knew? Who knew? Who knew? Hey, I feel like we both dodged a bullet. I reckon that was better than I expected. Mine was definitely better than I expected.
Starting point is 00:36:23 We're looking for five people to call through on 0800-DIAL-ZM and rate our Taylor Swifts against each other. Okay, don't compare us to the Queen. Not Taylor Swift. We're not trying to be Taylor Swift. Compare Taylor Clint to Taylor Brie. Yes. That's what we want you to do this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Which Swifty camp are you in this afternoon? We want to hear your feedback. 0800-DIAL-ZM. We need five people on the phones. Bree and Clint. Ladies and gentlemen, Bree and Clint's Friday Hokies. You just heard our Taylor Slifts.
Starting point is 00:37:00 If you missed them, Bree sounded like this. If you can see that Bree sounded like this. That was a harmony I tried. Yeah, nice. And mine sounded like this. You had to pick my worst bit. Yeah, same. Someone texted and they said, you can't polish a turd and call it a trophy.
Starting point is 00:37:44 But you guys sure do try. And we'll roll it in glitter. We've asked five people to call through and pick the winner of Friday Okie this week, as we do every Friday. And Amy's called up. Hi, Amy. G'day, Amy. Oh, hello.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Did that make you Friday, Amy? Um, yes. It was pretty up there on things other than work. Well, that's not a good comparison. Yeah, it was almost as good as work. It was almost as good. No, it was pretty good. It was pretty up there.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Amy, who are you going to give it to, me or Brie? Brie, I'm sorry, but unfortunately, you are not the winner. Oh, that's okay, Amy. In my eyes. Only because I feel like we lost your voice in there and I could only hear the music. Oh, you feel like I didn't go hard enough. Yeah, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:38:37 I didn't go hard enough. Good feedback. I'm going to take the vote and run with it. Thank you, Amy. We're going to go to Tim. Kia ora, Tim. G'day, Tim. Hi, Clint.

Starting point is 00:39:17 Kia ora, Angus. Hi, Angus. Kia ora. Kia ora. I reckon, you know, I completely disagree with Amy, you know. Like, I reckon Bree, you'll want it for sure, you know. Did I send it, Angus? Yeah, yeah, you hit them high notes, you know.
Starting point is 00:39:31 You need a little bit of work, but, you know, you'll get there, buddy. I don't reckon I'll ever get up to those notes, Angus, so I accept your vote. I understand. You know what my secret is, Angus? I give myself a nipple cripple and it just goes... Like, straight up there. Thank you, Angus. I give myself a nipple cripple and it just goes like straight up there. Thank you,

Starting point is 00:40:13 Hi, Jacob. G'day, Jacob. How are we going, guys? Good, thank you. You have the power, the deciding vote, Jacob. You get to pick who wins Friday Oki this week. When you're ready, tell us who it is.
Starting point is 00:40:29 So there's only one clear winner because I think the other one was pitiful. And this week, it's got to go to Bree. Yes! And I'm the one who understands You've been here all along So why can't you see You belong with me You belong with me Yep, my nipples are red raw now, Jacob.
Starting point is 00:40:57 But I'll take the win. For what it's worth, Jacob, I... I know that your nipples are red. I agree with you. Yeah, yeah, right. Fair enough, Jacob. I'll shut up. I'll shut up. I'll shut up.
Starting point is 00:41:07 I think Clint was just a bit too flat in his singing. He just needs to change up his tone and he'll get there next time. Good advice. I'll try and take that on board. I told you what I do. Yeah. The nipples. Yeah, but you don't have any, so...
Starting point is 00:41:21 No, I tried squeezing my testicles really hard. Yeah. See, I mean, just maybe squeeze them a bit harder. Bree and Clint. It is almost half past five on a Friday. It's time for Birthday Banger. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Here we go, Birthday Banger, to get you home on a Friday. This is where you can call us up, and we figure out what song was number one when you turned 16 and then we'll play our favourite one out of these three strapping young lads. Let's go to Sandy first. G'day, Sandy.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Hi, Sandy. Not a lad. Hi, Jean. How are you? Definitely not a lad. You're a strapping young lad, Sandy? Strapping young lady. Sandy, have you had a good week?
Starting point is 00:42:07 I have. It's been action-packed, but yeah, it's Friday evening, so good to go. Good to get it on a Friday. Sandy, what's your birthday, my friend? It's 14th of May, 1987. Right, Sandy, let's give it a whirl. I've lost my robot sound effect, so please just bear with me. You go.
Starting point is 00:42:27 You have to do it manually. You were 16 in 2003. I'm a scat man. You were 16 in 2003, Sandy, and here's your birthday banger. No, Claudia, now you've copied over the song. Sorry, Sandy, the wheels are off here. We've had three beers each. We're not meant to drink and radio.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Here it is, Sandy. Sean Paul. Oh, Sandy. Sean Abar, what do you reckon? Do you like it? Yeah, I like it. Yes, I'll bang her. Oh, mate, I love it.
Starting point is 00:43:14 All right, say there you strapping young lad. We've got to go to Arik. G'day, Arik. G'day, Arik. Hi, how's it going, guys? Good, thanks. Arik, I heard it's your bloody birthday. Yeah, it actually is. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Thanks, mate, thanks. Arik, I heard it's your bloody birthday. Yeah, it actually is.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Thanks, mate. Thanks. Birthday on a Friday. How old are you turning? 28. Oh, best year of your life, Arik.
Starting point is 00:43:34 I'm telling you. It is such a great year. Oh. Should be anyway. Yeah, best decade. Yeah, for sure. Mate, don't waste it. Don't you waste this year because it's a bloody good one.
Starting point is 00:43:44 That means you were 16 in 2011. And on this day in 2011, this was number one. I'm walking away from the troubles in my life. Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one. Craig David. Why was Craig David back at number one in 2011? Do we know what made at number one in 2011? Yeah, that's right. Do we know what made him number one in 2011?
Starting point is 00:44:10 That song's from the 2000s. That's a good point. We're out. Yeah. Something must have happened. Something must have went wrong. Maybe I'll check that. That's definitely Craig David.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Wait there, Arik, on your birthday. We're going to go to Debbie. Kia ora, Debbie. Hello, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's definitely Craig David. Wait there, Arik, on your birthday. We're going to go to Debbie. Kia ora, Debbie. Hello, Debbie. Hello, how are you? Debbie, it's a bit of a shit show here at the moment, Debbie. She's a schmuzzle. This is a right old schmuzzle.
Starting point is 00:44:34 But we're glad you're here, Debbie, and we're keen to do your birthday banger. How long have you been wanting to know what yours is? About four or five years. Mate, oh, I'm glad you're here then. She's a day one. Have you got a good feeling? Because I've got a good feeling.
Starting point is 00:44:51 No, I think I'm a little bit old for this. But anyway, let's give it a bash. Debbie, what's your birthday? 10468. All right, that means you were 16 in 1984. And Debbie, this is your birthday banger. Incredible birthday banger. Oh, Debbie, you wouldn't read about it.
Starting point is 00:45:18 You get the Pātea Māori Club. And poie. You got a great one. You love it, Debbie? Yep. Yeah You love it, Debbie? Yep. Yeah, love it. I love it too and I'm voting for it. Me too.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Debbie, you've won Birthday Banger, my friend. You've waited this long and you've taken it out. Congratulations, Debs. Awesome, thank you. No worries. See you, guys. No worries. See you, Debbie. Bree and Clint. Is that in Bree and Clint?
Starting point is 00:46:05 From 1984, the winner of Birthday Banger today for Debbie from the Pātea Māori Club is Poie. This text message is so good. It says, the joy that this song has brought me today is amazing. What a banger. Such a great song. Just gives you good vibes all round. We need to address the elephant in the room. And because Arik, it was his birthday today and there's been a bit of a
Starting point is 00:46:26 mix up because we said that his birthday banger was Craig David Walking Away, which it wasn't. That was from like the early 2000s. We've redone the math on it and we have his real birthday banger so hopefully he's still listening.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Arik, if you're listening, this is actually your birthday banger, so hopefully he's still listening. Arik, if you're listening, this is actually your birthday banger. Just as good. Major banger. Still wouldn't have beat Party or Māori Club for me, so it doesn't change anything. It wouldn't have, but... But it is a great song.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Yeah, great song. And good to know what your actual birthday banger is. Please welcome to the show our very special guest this afternoon. It's Chris Parker. Yahoo! Jazz hands. Oh, thunderous applause. Rapturous applause. We brought that audience in for you.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Very mature claps. They all sound old. Yeah, this is... They sound like mature hands. I think it's... Was that theatre, that beautiful theatre in Christchurch that you played last year? James... Oh, the Isaac. Isaac Theatre Royal. That's a live recording from the Isaac Theatre Royal. I think it's... Was that theatre, that beautiful theatre in Christchurch that you played last year? James, oh, the Isaac. Isaac Theatre Royal. That's a live recording from the Isaac Theatre Royal. I love performing in these sort of like very respected venues
Starting point is 00:47:32 that like, you know, opera stars or whatever, and then I'm coming out being like, bums, bums, wheeze, wheeze, got his cheese and just like making them laugh. I love the irony. I saw King Lear here last week. I saw Ian McKellen. And now this. And now this.
Starting point is 00:47:45 And now Chris. You're going on tour around the country with your Lots of Love tour. Yeah, I've been on tours. It's been a ripper. I've loved it. I've been in Wellington. You already started. Started in Tauranga.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Yeah. And now I've got a little old city called Auckland. Hamilton, Parmy and New Plymouth left. You're fully sold out of Auckland though. I've got, I added an extra show. Did you do an extra one? Yeah, on this Sunday.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Oh my God, you're like Beyonce. Honestly? Have to add extra shows in. It's so crazy. It's such a big venue. I couldn't believe, I felt sick when we booked it,
Starting point is 00:48:13 but you're in Kitty Takanoa Theatre. it's 2018. Wow! And you had to put on another show! Oh my God. I know.
Starting point is 00:48:20 It's wild, but I love it. If that's not marketing. The Instagram audience is turning up, they're sick of being on their phones and they're ready to laugh IRL.
Starting point is 00:48:27 If someone's coming to a Chris Parker, though, as their first experience of stand-up comedy, they're getting a bit of a skewed experience of what stand-up is. Do you reckon? Yeah, because I've been to one of your shows. I went to the last one you did at the Q Theatre. And it is just utter chaos.
Starting point is 00:48:41 A Chris Parker show. Have you seen Chris Parker live? I've seen Chris Parker many times and I remember messaging you after the last time I saw you being like, do you just lose like 15 kilos when you're on tour? Because you are running up and down the stage. You're jumping. Yeah, I just
Starting point is 00:48:56 love the attention. I just go hog wild out there. I'm a barocca and away I go. I was watching your Instagram story today. Are you moving house? Is that why you're cleaning out your pantries? I've been in this flat for like seven years. Is this the flat that Brindley Stent used to live in with you?
Starting point is 00:49:13 It's my lockdown flat, which is, you know, you put a lot of trauma on those walls and it's so wild to be moving out of there. Yeah. And just finding like, because it's one of those flats that was set up when I moved in and they just inherent all this crap. You and your husband are looking for a house together, right?
Starting point is 00:49:28 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the next chapter will be, imagine that. We're going to move in with some 18-year-olds. Just like kick it up. Back in the middle of Cairo. Hopefully this is the next chapter of my life. Are you and your husband finally going to live alone together? I think so, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:40 And you really get to know each other. You've never lived alone together before? No. And you're married. And we are married. But that's just a millennial nightmare. That's what I was going to yeah. And you really get to know each other. You've never lived alone together before. No. And you're married. And we are married. But that's just a millennial nightmare. That's what I was going to say. Yeah, it's like we stayed at a hotel the night of our wedding,
Starting point is 00:49:50 but then we were in the flat the very next day. And it was like humbling. You've spent one night alone your whole relationship. And then it's like, no, I mean, we've gone on trips and like, you know, flatmates will go to the supermarket and then we'll have sex then. You know, it's like there are opportunities, you know, for intimacy, you know, quietness, a sense of just us as a couple. But, you know, it's a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:50:12 I heard that you're thinking of getting a dog next, like the next step. That's the big one for me, I think. And there's a particular type of dog. Well, you know, because there's a social responsibility to get, like, a retired greyhound. And I know it's noble. It's the best thing that you can do. But they're such sad dogs.
Starting point is 00:50:28 They're so cute though. I want a fun one for you. I want a little like. I want one that like runs on a wheel. That's got no baggage. Well, ideally it's a handbag. You know, one that's got like a handle on the back. Like a designer poodle.
Starting point is 00:50:40 That's what I want. I know it's bad. I probably will go into SPC. I'll do something worthy because I care what people think about me. I want to be a good person. And you don't want to be cancelled. Exactly. I can imagine you're at the SPCA and you're leaving with a brand new dash and you're like, they just happened
Starting point is 00:50:53 to have one. I'm going to the SPCA like a bargain. Is there something designer on the bottom here? What have you got? What have you got on the bottom there? There must be a poodle lying around. There must be something. So your extra shows for your show, your Auckland show, is that this weekend?
Starting point is 00:51:10 Yeah, this Sunday. This Sunday. Yeah. And so there's still tickets available for that. There's still tickets available for that one, but it's not embarrassingly quiet. So if you do come along, don't be like,
Starting point is 00:51:17 oh my God, I'm the only one there. Like you're so desperately trying to sell tickets. It's sold well, but there are seats. A few seats. If you want to come along, then absolutely, this would be the chance to do it. But no pressure. But no pressure. All good if not, all good if not, but if if you want to come along then absolutely
Starting point is 00:51:25 this would be the chance but no pressure but no pressure like all good if not all good if not but if you did want to come along I would love that I also brought a treat for you
Starting point is 00:51:32 Clint because I know that you're into my stories about my potato at the moment oh my god no I hate this potato so much so I've been on Instagram going through my pantry
Starting point is 00:51:39 I found a potato that honestly I never even remembered buying this was at the bottom of my pantry, and I could not believe... Here it is. What is wrong with it? It's grown these vines or maybe fingers,
Starting point is 00:51:54 because I can feel bones in there. Tentacles, I would call them. Oh, my God. I can't eat it. No, no, no, no, no, no. Does it actually give you the ick? Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:52:02 He hates old fruit and vegetables. It looks like an emo friend. It does, eh? It's so long. Where are you? No one understands me. There's the potato coming to the live show? Yeah, I reckon.
Starting point is 00:52:15 You can Google Chris Parker. Lots of love to see the man live. Thanks, Chris. Thanks for having me. Thanks, potato. Look at that sad little potato. Bree and Clint. I saw this opinion piece on the Herald today,
Starting point is 00:52:30 and I found the title quite intriguing. So it was entitled, Five Relationship Rules to Ignore If You Want to Stay Together. Yeah, like old stuffy rules that can get in the bin kind of thing. Yeah, kind of. Yeah. Should we go through them and see what we think? Let's go through them really quick.
Starting point is 00:52:52 The first one, it says, go out to dinner on your own a few times a month. No, I disagree with that. No. You shouldn't go out to dinner. No, you can. That's fine. Yeah. But you don't need to.
Starting point is 00:53:04 A few times a month? No. A few times a month. Who can afford to go out to dinner a few times a can. That's fine. Yeah. But you don't need to. A few times a month, no. A few times a month. Who can afford to go out to dinner a few times a month? Yeah, it's quite a lot, isn't it? But I think that hinges on like you should have alone time with your partner. If you want to treat your night out, especially if you've got kids, if you want to treat your night out as a dinner with friends, do that. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Yeah. They're still doing something together. You don't, if you've been in a relationship for ages, sometimes you don't have anything to talk about at the dinner table. I mean, you're not wrong. And don't put that kind of pressure on your relationship.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Yeah. Put a buffer in there. Get a single friend along so you guys can play on their Tinder account. Yeah, I'd have to agree. Cool,
Starting point is 00:53:36 I agree. The next one they said is socialize together. What does that mean? It means like these are, so rules to ignore. So I think it's kind of saying that you should always socialize together. What does that mean? It means like these are rules to ignore. So I think it's kind of saying that you should always socialize together, which I think that's so wrong.
Starting point is 00:53:51 I disagree. It's so wrong. I think you spend, if you're in a relationship, a lot of the time you spend most of your time together. So you should go out and do your own thing every now and then. Go out and be your own person. Go hang out with your friends. You don't need to be together 24-7.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Sometimes it's nice, yes, to socialise at certain things, but you're allowed to be apart. My favourite thing to do is go and watch the All Blacks play. I can't think of anything my wife would want to do less than go and watch the All Blacks play. She would hate it. So you don't drag her along to that. You're allowed to go do that on your own.
Starting point is 00:54:22 I agree. The next one is be honest and share your feelings about everything. It says that's a non-negotiable, right? No, it is hard to hear that you really don't like a signature pasta dish that your partner's made. So why don't you just keep that a secret? Open lines of communication in a relationship are essential. You do not have to share everything. You don't have to comment.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Sometimes you can just read their body language and you go, okay, yep, that didn't go down well. You know, like, is it really going to change anything? Unless it's super important, you know, some things are better left unsaid. I agree with that. I like this list. Yeah, I think it's a really good list. Another one is shop together.
Starting point is 00:55:06 No, what a stupid idea. There's always fights at the shops. Like grocery shopping. Yes. No. No. You make the list, I'll go and get it. That's how our relationship survives.
Starting point is 00:55:18 I just think why put both of you through such a punishing task? Why do both of you have to go through that? You know, every now and then, fine. But, yeah, I totally agree. And the last one is talk about the relationship. Admittedly, not one of our parents lists, but a modern cast iron rule. And we say, no, don't shout at each other.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Say sorry, then go out and make each other laugh. Right. So you don't have to sit down and discuss every single part of your relationship. Every single little thing and it goes around and around. Some people do. Some people are very emotionally needy and they need everything validated. But that would be an exhausting relationship as well. It's just tiring.
Starting point is 00:56:03 And yes, you do have to give it a certain amount, but at a certain point, you kind of just throw your hands in the air and go, should we just call it a day and go have some fun? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can we just park there and leave it alone? Let's just go have a laugh and move on. Can I add one to this list?
Starting point is 00:56:18 You sure can. These are relationships that we can get rid of, relationship rules that we can get rid of, that there's too much pressure on and they're not necessarily required anymore. Yes. You don't have to buy each other a Valentine's Day present. Agreed.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Agreed. Valentine's Day is made up. What about... The only people who need to buy each other a Valentine's Day are people in a new relationship. Yeah. If you're looking for fun, flirty ways to do fun things with each other, that's for you guys. But is that setting a precedent though?
Starting point is 00:56:48 That's what Valentine's Day is. Is that setting a precedent for the whole relationship? Is that where we're getting it wrong? What do you mean? Treat them mean from the start. Yeah. Start as you mean to proceed. You're like, Valentine's Day.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Ugh. You know? Yeah. I reckon back up your own rules. Figure out what works for you. Yeah. And then everyone's rules are going to be different, you know? Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:57:08 That's the end of our show, everybody. Thanks for joining us for a short week on The Bree and Clint Show. How good's a short week? Oh, nothing better than a short week. The only thing worse is going back to a full week next week. Feels extra long. Yeah, it feels so long. Feels like a six-day week.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Yeah. Well, things could be worse, couldn't they? We could be in lockdown. Oh, that six-day week. Yeah. Well, things could be worse, couldn't they? We could be in lockdown. That is a long week. That was a long week. Every week was a long week in lockdown. Longest week in the world. Is it the weekend?
