Okay, are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready?
You're going to have to kick the bed off.
I guess so.
Hi, you beautiful bastards listening to this podcast.
Listen here, you pricks.
No, you've got to do a compliment first.
Oh, listen here, you hot pricks.
That'll do. That's good. Yeah.
Listen up, you beautiful degenerate...
Careful.
Yeah, okay.
It's Friday where we are, which means it's time for an international birthday banger.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Free and close.
Birthday banger.
Podcast.
Yeah.
That's right.
You listen to it on the podcast, but you always think, I'd like to know my birthday banger.
Well, you can, you beautiful bitch.
You hot bitch.
We get you guys to submit your birthday on our Facebook group.
It's called the Brie Thomas L Big Bang Theory fan page bazinga.
And it desperately, I now agree that it needs a name change.
It needs to be changed.
But that's Brie's job and she just hasn't got around to it.
I'm not an admin!
Today we're going to do three people
who have given us their birthday
and we're going to start with Emma Keat
all the way from Palmerston North, New Zealand.
Palmerston North!
Shout out to Porkchop Hill.
Drarmiston North.
Drarmiston North.
Palmerston...
What else did we hear it was called?
Who cares?
She was born on the 8th of March.
This is why I do it.
She was born on the 9th of March, 1998.
So she was 16 in 2014.
On the 9th of March.
And back in 2014, this had a number one hit.
Oh, no.
Sorry, Emma.
Turn it down.
Turn it off, actually. No, no. I don't like that one. That song. Turn it down. Turn it off actually.
No, no, I don't like that one.
That song...
Is a punish.
Yeah, and I actually really liked it when it came out.
But I don't think any song has ever been more overplayed than that song.
Any radio announcer or anyone that worked in radio back in 2014 will hate that song.
Anyone with ears.
But, so, sorry Emma, we don't hate you.
We love you, but... How can a song about happiness evoke so much anger. But, so, sorry, Emma. We don't hate you. We love you, but your birthday...
How can a song about happiness evoke so much anger?
So, so much anger.
Okay, let's go on to Zane.
Oh!
Zane Proden.
Zane Proden.
It's from Warwick.
Where's Warwick?
It's like 30 minutes from Stanthorpe, where I'm from.
I feel like every country town in Australia is 30 minutes from Stanthorpe.
No, Warwick is actually the next closest town to Stanton.
I thought that was Casino.
No, Casino's two hours away.
Oh, I don't know the geography.
In a different state.
It's in New South Wales.
Anyway, shout out to everyone in Warwick.
Spent a lot of time at the Donut King at the Plaza.
Oh, yeah.
Anyway, Zane Proden from Warwick.
He was born on the 4th of December 1977,
which means he was 16 in 1993 And this is his birthday banger
This is Bryan Adams.
Please forgive me.
Oh, this is where he goes, please forgive me.
Yeah, hopefully we'll hit that.
Hang on.
Is that it here?
Please forgive me.
I know not what I do.
Yeah, this is a classic hit.
Yeah, it's a classic hit.
Yeah, it's a good song.
Well done, Zayn.
Let's get one more birthday banger on for Pip Rogers.
Pip! Hello, Pip!
Toodle Pip, Pip.
She's from Invercargill.
We were in Invercargill this week.
This is an interesting...
The producers have just given up.
They just get all people from New Zealand now
for the international birthday banger.
This is the least international.
Producer Ben, take the bed down and turn your microphone on.
This is the least international international birthday banger you've ever organized us.
One's from Australia and two are from New Zealand.
Turn the bed down.
Sorry, we're all very tired.
We've had a big week.
Yeah, sorry.
No one more tired than Ben, who's barely gone international at all.
No, well, the reason is because there's a lot of New Zealand people posting in the group,
and I can't just keep going international.
These are people that still can't ring up.
They still can't ring up.
Shouldn't have named it the International Birthday Makeup.
You named it that.
Did we?
You did.
You did.
Well, that's good.
We digress.
Let's do Pip Rogers from Invercargill.
From Inver, she was born on the 6th of August 1990,
which means her 16th was in 2006,
and so was this number one hit.
If I know Pip Rogers from Invercargill,
this is the perfect song. Go Pip. Go Pip.
Ross Boss is staring at us.
It's on a podcast, mate. It's a podcast.
Chill out, all right?
Take your broadcasting standard hat off and just relax for one minute, would you?
Yeah, just chill out, you dickhead.
Look at you, cool cat.
You get up the same time as the rest of the country one fucking day oh don't start up that's called an inside joke can
you censor him please that was very rude um ross we're going to make brian adams the winner of
birthday yeah well you saw me dancing to that before yeah i was dancing i was like i love brian
adams and ben went i don't know who this guy is. Oh.
Sometimes I wonder
if Ben is actually
a child with a mustache.
Do you know what
Ellie said to us yesterday?
What's a DeLorean?
Yeah,
that was bad from her.
I talked to some kids
in the office the other day,
I call them kids now
because I was talking about
one and two cent pieces.
Okay,
no,
no,
that's too far.
No,
now you're old.
He's the winner of Birthday Banger.
We'll play it until we have to stop.
Hey, Google, what's the time?
It's 3 p.m.
Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?
Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Good afternoon New Zealand and welcome to the show.
Brie and Clint for a Friday afternoon.
Yeah, happy Friday everyone.
You've made it.
You're here.
You're nearly done.
Actually, you're very close. Not us. We've made it. You're here. You're nearly done. Actually, you're very close.
Not us.
We've got a bit longer to go.
Yeah, and we've got treats for you all afternoon.
Not just the secret sound today.
But today we'll be doing our signature competition, Friday Okie Bree.
Yes, that's correct.
The song this afternoon for Friday Okie you'd think would be easy.
Turns out.
Not so much.
The Veronica's.
What's it called again?
Untouched.
Untouched.
Apologies to Lisa.
Jess.
And the entire Veronica's family.
Ahead of this afternoon's Friday Oaky.
I've got a new found respect.
Me too.
Me too.
They're not just.
They're not just pop stars.
No, they can sing. They're true vocalists.
So all that's on the way.
Plus, of course, you're probably totally consumed with the idea of winning $50 million in the
lotto tomorrow.
If you're like me, and you are, I've got some details on how that's going to work.
Because it has to be one brief.
It has to go this weekend.
Someone has to take the money home.
So that means, in my mind, 50 million is getting split between a couple of hundred people.
Possibly. Possibly.
Because it has to go, right?
If that happens, I'll tell you what it looks like after Miley Cyrus.
This is a slide away.
Bree and Clint, ZM.
Bree and Clint.
This weekend, New Zealand's biggest Ever
Lotto draw
Is going down
50 million dollars
Has to be won
In Lotto this weekend
Stupid amount of money
Crazy amount of money
I bought a ticket
Last time
Not this time
What you were in
For 42
But you're out for 50
Yeah well
No one is going to win 50
Well this is the thing Brie
It has to be won
This weekend
Last weekend It rolled over No one won it That's fine this is the thing, Bree. It has to be won this weekend. Last weekend, it rolled over.
No one won it.
That's fine.
This weekend, it's so big that it has to be won.
Yeah, but when it has to be won, that means not one person can win the 50 million.
Yeah, one person can still win it.
Yeah, but the odds are even smaller.
If it goes naturally, like if you get all the balls,
and then you get the Powerball and you win Division 1 with Powerball,
and you're the only one who does that, you'll get $50 million.
Yeah.
But what if that doesn't happen?
They just give it to everyone else?
No.
So how it works is, and this gets really interesting
because it's possibly a really good thing.
It probably is a really good thing if the $50 million gets split up, right?
Are we better to make 10 five millionaires than one 50 millionaire?
Yeah, sure. You don't agree? 10 5 millionaires than one 50 millionaire yeah sure
you don't agree
no to be honest
I think 50 million dollars
is too much for any one person
that's what I'm saying
so maybe it's better
that we make a whole lot of people rich
with this money than one
but anyway it's just a draw
and you can't control it
what happens is
if no one wins
to win Powerball
you've got to win division one
and lotto first of all
which is usually worth
about a million dollars in itself and then you've got to get that one and Lotto first of all, which is usually worth about a million dollars in itself.
And then you've got to get that one ball on the end,
so you then have a 1 in 10 chance of winning the Powerball as well.
And that's why it doesn't go often,
because it's so hard to get, first of all, those first six,
and then that extra number on the end.
So if people don't get Division 1, then it rolls down to Division 2.
But you still have to have the powerball so
you have to get all i think it's five balls right so if you if you get five and then you get the
powerball you still have to get the powerball number on there to get it um it happened last
time they did a must win draw 40 people ended up winning division one in the lotto and that was a
million dollars so 40 people won division one but not the powerball part of it
right and they were in the million dollar draw and you go okay i'm sure i'm not the i'm sure i'm not
the only one but hopefully i'm just one of a few 40 people won it and out of a million dollars they
ended up getting 25 000 each what a disappointment 25 000 is fantastic but can you imagine you thought
when you could have won a million you're thinking thinking you might be a millionaire, and then you get $25,000.
But of that $40,000, two people had the Powerball or something,
and they got $2.5 million each.
Right.
So, yeah, there's a high chance that it's going to get split up this weekend.
But I tell you who's not winning it.
Who? You, because you're not buying a ticket.
Yeah, maybe I'll buy a ticket.
Good luck.
Like we said, don't spend your gambling money if you don't have it.
Gamble responsibly or something.
Yeah.
Being a well-rounded lady in my 30s now, I am.
What's well-rounded about you?
I do my own washing.
Yeah.
It took you to your 30s to do your own washing. Yes. I wash to your 30s to do your own washing.
Yes.
I wash my sheets more.
You've already said washing.
More than, you know, but washing sheets is a different category.
Okay, yeah, cool.
You're a well, I'll accept it.
You're a well-rounded woman in your 30s.
And I 40% of the time don't eat grated cheese out of a bag for dinner.
So you know what?
Pretty good.
But I came across this meme, which I mean, you're in your 30s, well into them.
Excuse me.
And I thought.
Excuse me.
I am late, late 20s.
No, you are mid 30s.
We figured that out.
I'm late, late, late 20s.
We figured it out.
You're in your mids now.
Yeah.
When you say mids, I sound like I'm 35 though.
That means you have to have mid-strength beer now.
No, it doesn't.
It means I have to have double-strength beer.
There's a meme that's going around, which which i mean you and i both can comment on this because we're
both in our 30s now um but the producers can't because they're not so uh pretty much it says
at the top of this meme by the time you turn 30 you should have at least one of these you should
have at least one of the following. Okay, cool.
And there's five things.
Okay, shall we see how many each of us have got?
Yeah, let's see how many each of us.
And this is fun for all the 30-year-olds listening too.
Exactly.
See how many you can tick off.
You have to have at least one.
Yeah.
Okay, so number one, a drawer full of random cords.
Yeah.
Yes, I've got that.
Got two drawers in a box.
I've got two, yeah, in a box.
Number two. Most of them are chargers a box. I've got two, yeah, in a box. Number two.
Most of them are chargers from phones that I don't use anymore.
Yeah, most of mine's like camera gear and like weird cords from the TV
that don't work in TVs anymore.
And lots of Ethernet cables, yeah.
Yeah, the Ethernet cables.
Number two.
So we already have one on the list.
Number two.
Tupperware with half the lids missing.
No, not me. I'm fastidious with my Tupperware. All of my Tupperware with half the lids missing No, not me I'm fastidious with my Tupperware
All of my Tupperware has lids
Oh, I'm definitely that person
Okay, you can have that one
But in fairness, I live in a flat
And I think it's not my fault
Probably not your fault
I think other people steal
Anyone who's passionate about their Tupperware
The way I just reacted belongs in their 30s though
Absolutely
You've even got the tin Tupperware.
Yeah, I do.
It's very old person Tupperware, in my opinion.
Number three.
So I've got two, you've got one.
Sleep deprivation.
Yeah, I got a baby, so.
Yeah, so you definitely have that.
Well, this week, absolutely, I've had that.
Yeah.
Because we've gotten up early a lot.
Number four.
A collection of
Plastic bags
Full of other
Plastic bags
I did have that
Until they banned
Plastic bags
Okay so let's do
The 2020
And then I recycled
All my plastic bags
And now I've got
No plastic bags
Well we'll do
The 2020 version
A collection of
Reusable supermarket bags
Reusable supermarket bags
Containing other
Reusable supermarket bags
Yes
Yeah I've got a whole
Heap of them Hanging on the back of the wardrobe drawer.
I actually don't even have any room for them anymore.
Nah.
Because I literally still to this day cannot remember them every time.
When you do start remembering, they'll come in handy.
So don't get rid of them.
No, I'm not getting rid of them, but I'm also like, what is the point of this?
Anyway, the last one, number five, by the time you turn 30,
you should have at least one of the following.
Anxiety.
Tick.
Yeah, okay.
What about constant back pain?
Tick.
What about a four-day hangover?
Why do you need to stop?
What about, you know, where you uncontrollably can't hold your wee anymore?
Oh, no.
Oh, no, just me?
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean's on the phone with us with interesting news about the Pussycat Dolls.
Good afternoon, Dean.
Hi, Dean.
Hello, guys.
Yes, I bring you the hard-hitting, deep stories today.
People have figured out and finally dramatically realised that not all the Pussycat Dolls have returned for the reunion.
Now, we all know Nicole Scherzinger.
Yeah.
That time she's returned.
Yeah.
She's back.
She's back.
There was actually five that used to be in it with her.
And if you look closely, you'll notice that only four have returned,
but no one kind of really noticed.
And, of course, today, Twitter,
you know how people are so mean these days on Instagram and all that.
People have realized that there was, in fact, an extra one,
and now they're trying to guess what the extra one's name was.
It's brutal.
That's not very nice.
I'd like to tell you what happened though.
I've got a little bit of insight.
So what happened with the other one that didn't come back,
she's like working on her own song deal
and she was like, this will interrupt and distract me.
But I think she should have just done the reunion.
I think she should have done it too.
Give her a boost.
Yes.
And some money.
I mean, we don't know her situation,
but I love that people didn't even,
because there's always the joke about
you only know Nicole Scherzinger
and the Pussycat Dolls.
I'm pretty sure.
Let me see if I know all of them.
Nicole Scherzinger,
that was the redhead,
like the dyed redhead colour one.
Yeah.
There was two blonde ones. Yeah. Not their names,head, like the dyed redhead colour one. Yeah. There was two blonde ones.
Yeah.
Not their names,
but yeah,
you're doing well.
I'm trying.
They're back.
They're back.
Okay, they're back.
Two blonde ones.
There must be another brunette.
There was a brunette.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
That's four.
I can't remember the fifth one.
No, you're at five.
You've got to check Nicole Scherzinger
in there as well.
Oh, I got them then.
Yeah.
That's them.
And which one of those
is the stray cat, Dean?
Which is the one that's gone walkabout?
One of the brunette ones.
Okay.
Well, I reckon.
You know what's interesting, Dean?
Producer Ellie and I went to So Pop last year,
which is what the Pussycat Dolls are coming to New Zealand to do,
that concert.
And we saw Bewitched.
And we're sitting there watching
and I said to producer Ellie like halfway through,
I think, their first song.
And I was like, I remember there was four of them
and there was twins.
Do you remember there was twins in that group?
Yeah, Irish twins, yeah.
There was only one twin that had returned
and then only one other member.
And then they had two girls who were like backup dancers,
but they wouldn't sing,
but they'd give them microphones to make them look like they were singing.
Yeah, right.
But we caught on pretty quick.
I think if you're a true Pussycat Dolls fan
or a Bewitched fan at this stage of the career,
you take what you can get, right?
Absolutely.
They were still good.
They were very good.
That's the latest Pussycat Dolls
from our Pussycat correspondent,
Dean McCarthy, live from Los Angeles.
Thanks to Samsung, the new Samsung Galaxy S20.
If you pre-order it before March 6th,
you're going to get yourself free Galaxy Buds Plus.
On a Friday, we get our producers in,
and they collate the best and worst bits of the week.
Producer Ben and Producer Ellie, hi.
Hello.
G'day, mate.
Yeah, it takes up one of the things we have to do in the show,
and it's good on a Friday, isn't it?
So I appreciate you guys chipping in.
Yeah, I'm interested to see how you went with this.
Obviously, we've all been limited for time this week.
We've been to Invercargill and back.
What a wonderful trip to Southwind that was.
So Producer Ben has put in some mega hours to get it made for us this week.
What can we expect, Ben?
Is this a 5 out of 10 effort, a 7 out of 10 effort,
or a 10 out of 10 effort from you as always?
It's a 10 out of 10 as always.
Oh, good.
One of my best.
Okay.
All right.
One of your best.
Yeah.
That's a big call from you.
The best, actually.
The best.
The best.
I like it.
You're going even more bold.
I like it.
It doesn't matter if it's not.
You employ the Donald Trump technique of just saying enough times,
and people will believe it.
It's the best high-low I've ever done.
Okay, relax.
Well, here it is.
The best high-low producer Ben has ever made.
Breein Clint.
Previously with Zed-In's Breein Clint.
Hey, guys.
Welcome to yet another week of Breein Clint's highs and lows.
All the high points of the week and the low points of the week.
This week, mainly lows.
We've just decided in this moment that we're going to start giving away high-low awards.
And this week's award goes to Bree for the best ever radio tease of all time in the world.
Heads up, she was really tired.
You can join Flesh, Wynne and Megan tomorrow morning at 7am when Secret Sound returns.
Thanks to Save My Bacon and Brighter Way to Borrow.
I'm next.
Something.
And this week, not only
are we giving away awards, but we're also doing
a Snap Poll.
Bree and Clint's Snap Poll.
What's worse? Bree's plastic bag comment?
I didn't realise how much kids love Bunnings
Warehouse. She's only seven months old and you would think
I took her to Disneyland.
You could give a plastic bag to a kid and they'd think it was the best toy ever.
Okay, you're never looking after my kid.
You don't give kids plastic bags.
Or Clint choking on a chip.
For the second day in a row, Bree, we've got houseplant news.
It is... You alright?
I've got a chip stuck in my throat. Can I have some water?
No, that's my wallet.
You want this? Sorry, excuse me everybody. Let's turn my mic. Can I have some water? No, that's my water. You want this?
Sorry.
Excuse me, everybody.
Let's turn my mic off for a second.
It's alright.
We'll wait.
Oh, I'm back.
That was terrifying.
I didn't know what was going to happen.
Make sure you like and subscribe and comment below.
And this week, Brie brought some great bin chat to the show, but it might have gone on
for a bit too long.
We love our bins, don't we?
Yeah, we're bin men and women.
Yes.
So what's your general waste bin?
I have a blue bin with a yellow
lid, which used to
be a recycling bin.
Wait, a blue bin with a yellow lid?
20 minutes later.
They should bring this in in New Zealand.
Is it a food waste bin? No.
This one I think is good as well,
especially for our flat. I think we need to chuck that
content in the bin bin, am I right?
Nice, mate.
And finally, in 2018, this happened on our show.
Do you know how many claps to put in?
It's four.
Shannon, it's four, okay?
Okay.
Are you ready?
I believe so.
Here we go.
No one told you life was going to be this way.
No!
Shannon, Shannon!
Shannon, you muffed it again!
Do you want a third attempt?
Okay, good one.
Come on, Shannon.
Come on!
Shannon, you did three.
That was great!
And this week we decided it's about time to get some redemption.
We go to call number three from Millie.
Hi, Millie.
All right, Millie.
Hello.
Hello, Millie.
Come on, Millie.
Okay.
Okay, turn the radio down.
So we can hear it clearly, Millie.
We don't want to stuff this up.
All right, please.
Okay, she's down.
She's down.
You're on.
It's your turn to shine. It was nine.
I reckon it was late, but we got it.
Nine.
It was three claps.
It was three.
Yeah, that didn't go so great.
So tune in next year, 2021, when we try again.
And tune in next week for another Bree and Clint.
Hi, Lo.
I'm tired.
Let's go home.
Bye.
Bree and Clint.
This is for the single people, though.
If you're a single person of any persuasion,
there is an event which may interest you.
Auckland Museum is hosting a singles night on the 10th of March
where you go to this beautiful venue in Auckland, the museum,
and I guess it'll be up the top in that atrium bit
and mix and mingle with other singles, you know?
I've never been to the museum, but I can't,
it wouldn't be the first place on my list where I'd go,
hmm, where can I meet some people my own age
who are, you know, looking for a partner?
I wouldn't say the museum's my top priority.
Yeah, I don't think specifically you have to be a museum person.
You don't have to be a fan of the museum.
What they do need, though, is a particular gender
and a particular sexual orientation that they're lacking.
They've had really good buy-in from females, straight, gay, lesbian, transgender, all of that.
They've actually had really good buy-in from every element of the LGBTQI plus community.
That's all ticked off.
Straight single women, they've got plenty of those.
They're just lacking some straight single men to attend the singles night.
They're all on the bachelorette
that's where they are
they literally have taken every single
single straight man
in New Zealand and put him on that show
they're all in Argentina
I never thought about it like that
not only
do you have to be straight
male and single you also have to be straight, male and single
You also have to be in Auckland
Or be able to get to Auckland for the event
Yeah, well that's the thing
As well
If you're thinking, not for me
Let me tell you a little bit about what the event is going to be like
Okay
So it's going to have live music
There's going to be bands or DJs playing at it
That's good because the museum is very quiet
There's going to be a bar so you can drink at this thing,
which let's not beat around the bush,
possibly the most important ingredient in an awkward social situation like this.
Not that you need to be hammered, but you know.
A couple of drinks.
A couple of looseness.
Make you a bit more comfortable.
They also are going to have roving actors walking around to break the ice.
So they're not actually going to be single people but they're
going to go into conversations and they're going to spark up conversations to get it moving that
doesn't appeal to you no absolutely not why not no thanks again like the bachelorette where they
had the mole in there they might have that guy in there wait so do you know which ones are the
actors no oh i hate it what if you like are into one of the actors? And then they're like, sorry, I'm an actor.
And then what if someone comes over and they're like, oh, I'm into you.
And even if they're not an actor, that's their way out.
And they'll just go, sorry, I'm one of the actors.
Yeah, you got a good point.
But at the end of the day, if you make a connection, you make a connection.
It also gives you an out.
It doesn't matter if they're an actor.
They still have needs and wants.
Yeah, but they might be with someone.
Yeah, okay, fine.
Because they're acting.
Yeah, I didn't think about that.
But it also does give you an out as well.
Like if you're in a situation where obviously you've gone as a single person
and then someone's getting, you know.
Into you.
And you're like not feeling this.
And you're like, sorry, I'm an actor.
And they go, oh, you're not an actor because I'm an actor.
I was just pretending to be into you.
You don't have to be rude about it.
You may have not seen my work.
I did a Colgate ad once.
Technically, actor.
If this appeals to you, and you are a single, straight male,
then you should go to the museum on the 10th of March
because you're the one category of person that the event is lacking at the moment.
Good odds.
Bree and Clint. Let's play the One Second Song Challenge.
This is the game every week where Bree and I go head to head and you just have to pick a winner, right?
And you can win yourself free mobile fuel.
That's right. Who is
on the phones first? That's you, Anna. Hi.
Hi.
Who's your horse? Who are you backing in the
one second song challenge this week? Me or Bree?
Um, I mean,
I'm going to put my faith in Bree.
I'm going to do it. I've got a bit of a lame foot
in this game, but I'll do my best
for you, Anna. Cool. Wait there.
That means, Mel, I'm playing for you, okay?
Yep.
If I win the one-second song challenge...
Wow, such a
vote of confidence. Mel, Mel, alright.
Yeah, alright, it's fine.
Look, I'm going to do my best, and we're all
going to do our best. Producer Ellie, what's
the theme this week? Alright, it's a song from the
2010s, for no reason at all.
Just for fun.
My brain for some reason thought you said the 1910s.
I was like, well, this is going to be a long game.
No, so all these songs were released in the year of 2010.
Whoa, okay.
Yeah.
The 1910s.
Is that Daddy Please Don't Send Me to War?
Okay, cool.
Yep, let's do this.
All right.
When you're ready, Ben, hit off the first song.
Yes, Brie.
Yeah, nice pitch.
Bruno Mars.
Just the way you are.
That is the trick.
Nice.
Yeah.
One of my actual, to be honest, one of my more liked songs from Bruno.
Yeah, right.
This was a track.
Brie hates Bruno Mars. I don't hate him. Just some of his more recent ones, auno yeah right this was a quite this was a track brie hates bruno mars

It's like a G6
And what do you reckon the artist is
Oh, what is their name
It's not there
It's not in my It's not there.
It's not in my brain.
Far East Movement.
That is correct.
Yes!
Yes!
I was like, come on, Bree.
May as well have a crack.
She goes, it's not Far East Movement.
I'm like, yes, it is.
I'm like, do a poker face.
Do a poker face.
You did a good poker face.
Did I?
Normally, you're terrible.
I know.
Okay, you can win the game here if you get this one.
You can.
All right, song number three.
Sorry.
Sorry, guys.
God damn it.
Who buzzed in?
Ellie's job is to reset the buzzers each time.
And I screw it up every time.
It's okay, you go.
It's Clint, though.
I don't want the sympathy.
But it was Clint.
Because I'm just going to say Robin dancing on my own. It's going to's Clint, though. I don't want the sympathy. But it was Clint. Because I'm just going to say
Robin dancing on my own,
but it's going to be
a hollow victory.
I knew it as well.
Okay.
That was correct.
That's my bad.
Have you reset?
I'm going to do it right now,
right in front of everyone.
There we go.
You were not going to do it again.
Okay.
Song number four.
Breathe. Usher. No, okay. Song number four. Bree.
Usher.
Yeah, man.
Every Usher song.
Yeah, it's not helping me, that part, is it?
I want to say...
This is a stab.
All right.
Oh, my God.
That's incorrect.
Clint.
Usher.
DJ got us falling in love.
That is correct.
Damn it, Usher.
Make the start of your song sound different.
Oh, God.
Yeah, man.
All right.
Okay, now we're at tie break.
This is the tie break. Okay. Are the buzzers working? The buzzers are on. Oh, my God. Yeah, man. All right. Okay, now we're at tie break. This is the tie break.
Okay.
Are the buzzers working?
The buzzers are on.
Okay, song number five.
Three.
It's Nicki Minaj.
It's one or the other.
I'm going to say Super Bass.
That is correct. Yes! Oh, she's one or the other. I'm going to say Superbase. That is correct.
Yes!
Oh, she's taken the game.
Anna, congratulations.
Bree has won free mobile fuel for you this afternoon.
Amazing.
Thank you so much.
No worries.
I got the medical attention I needed to my hoof and I was on the road.
Bree and Clint.
This is really good news going into the weekend,
especially if you're set to have a few drinks.
I know I am.
I'm going to a wedding, so I'm keen for this study.
It says that apparently a new study has found drinking alcohol every day
can vastly increase your chances of reaching 90 years old.
Finally, some good alcohol-based news.
The study was conducted by a team of researchers at a university in the Netherlands and suggests
that drinking alcohol in moderation might be better for a long and healthy life than
abstaining from alcohol completely.
Okay.
What is the benefit of having some alcohol?
I assume that doesn't mean like getting steamed every night.
No, it means a very tiny amount.
It does not mean binge drinking.
It does not mean doing beer bongs on the weekend.
There's a guy with a goon bag strapped to his arm right now.
No.
He's going, damn it!
No, that's not what it means.
So apparently what they did was they tracked 5,000 men and women
born between 1916 and 1917 using data from the Netherlands.
Participants were quizzed on their drinking habits in 1986
when they were in their 60s, obviously.
Yeah.
And then before researchers followed up with them until the age of 90.
So these are the results.
It found that 34% of the women and 16% of the men survived to the age of 90.
Yep.
And those who drank 5 to 15, what's G slash D?
Probably, I mean, imagine it means standard drink.
G slash D.
Gallons of drink.
I don't know.
Anyway, of alcohol.
Anyway, so it means the people who were drinking a little bit of alcohol every week
actually had the highest probability of reaching 90 out of that group of people.
Oh, that's fantastic news.
Isn't that great news?
Yeah.
Can I reinterpret that data somewhat?
Yeah.
So they were born between 1916 and 1917.
Yes.
Which means they lived through World War II, two Great Depressions,
probably the Vietnam War,
and however many global crises that have happened.
The Cold War.
If you didn't drink, I guarantee there's no way you would have survived.
You would have been so stressed.
You would have had to drink, you know?
Yeah, that's...
Even just to keep warm, sometimes you would have needed a drink.
Yeah, it's probably not the best group of people to be testing, to be honest.
I want to see a test run on Otago Uni students who attended a university between 2010 and 2015.
I mean, it'll be a while until we get the data.
I was going to say, it's going to be a long while, but we're willing to wait.
Are we, as a friendship group, freaking out about coronavirus yet?
It's really hard to obviously, the media are just clinging on to every piece of information right
and i find it really hard to believe everything that's out in the media do you find that um it's
a fine line i don't want to distrust i think new zealand media do quite a good job largely but at
the same time it's their job to get the information like they have to keep people up to date because
otherwise how are we going to find out anything about coronavirus in the first place?
Yeah, but some information that certain media outlets put out there, I think, to be honest, isn't 100% confirmed.
And it creates hysteria.
Okay, but you personally, are you freaked out about coronavirus yet?
I mean, of course.
You have to be.
It's not very, you know, it's definitely not something where I'm like,
it'll be fine.
But, like, you know, in New Zealand, obviously, you feel a little bit safer.
But who knows what's going to happen.
It could crash the whole economy.
In the last day or so, I've started to get a bit more paranoid about it.
And I think you do Like I don't know
I'm starting to go
Maybe I need to
Get some food together
Maybe we need to
Because you meant to have
Your emergency kit ready anyway
Maybe we need to stockpile
Some tinned food
And some basics
Like toilet paper
And things like that
I already have
That in my cupboard
Yeah
Tinned food and toilet paper
I'm just someone who
I literally
Zombie apocalypse
Coronavirus outbreak You're ready to go I'm ready Yeah right well I'm just someone who I literally zombie apocalypse coronavirus outbreak
you're ready to go
I'm ready
yeah right well I'm not
so I will be going to
New World this weekend
and be buying trays of
cat food
and baked beans
there's news out from
the WHO
or the WHO
or the World Health Organisation
that
it says some people
may be more at risk
to coronavirus than others today and that's people people may be more at risk to coronavirus than others today,
and that's people who have beards.
I thought you were going to say older people and kids.
Oh, yeah, definitely them too.
Those people as well, yeah.
But people with beards, apparently,
if it gets to a stage where we all have to wear masks every day,
beards prevent masks from working.
Why?
Because coronavirus, that beard that you've been growing
for a craft beer festival coming up in 2022,
and you've been crafting this thing for the last four years,
it might have to go for coronavirus.
Because if you've got a beard,
the mask can't form a seal on your skin around your face.
And did you know,
that's why you never see a pilot with a beard?
Because if in an emergency,
they have to put that oxygen mask on,
the oxygen mask can't form a seal around their face if they've got any kind of facial hair.
And that's also why you see a lot of pilots with mustaches,
because they still want to have some facial hair,
but a mustache will work because it doesn't stop the seal from forming.
Surely they've invented a mask for a pilot that can do that. It has to be one that they can strap on really quickly in an emergency.
Because more than anybody else, the pilot has to stay in operation.
I would be in trouble too.
You can't even have stubble for these masks to form a seal on your face.
Yeah, stubble on your face is enough to stop it from forming a seal.
So that's no good.
That's why pilots are always clean shaven.
Really?
And that's why so many of them have mustaches,
which has nothing to do with coronavirus, but yeah.
Did not know that.
I guess I'm in trouble as well.
So here's a loophole.
If you are a girl who hates her partner's facial hair,
maybe now you can tell him he needs to shave it off,
you know, for coronavirus.
Use it against him.
Scare him.
This is, I don't know if it's sad or if it's relatable, you know, for coronavirus. Use it against him. Scare him. Bree and Clint.
This is, I don't know if it's sad or if it's relatable,
but these are stats coming out of Australia today saying a new research has found that a third of young Australian adults are guilty
of stealing office toilet paper as a result of how much it costs
to live out of home for the first time.
Oh, right.
I feel, I see what you're saying.
It could be sad.
I feel like it's just a rite of passage though.
Pretty standard.
I mean, I remember when I first moved out of home, I was like, geez, I didn't realize
it costs this much.
You don't realize that you literally have to pay for everything.
Like even that bottle of spray that lives underneath the sink that you clean things
with.
You pay for it.
You got to pay for that. Tea towel, pay tea towel buy those yeah paper towels buy those yeah you want
something to eat with like a fork you gotta buy that you gotta buy those too yeah it's um it's
quite interesting to see that more than one third of um people take household items from work or a public place due to the cost.
Yeah.
I've not done it in my time at ZM, but I've definitely...
Sure you haven't.
No, I haven't.
One, because I don't need to.
But two, the toilet rolls here are too big.
Yeah, that's how they get you here.
They're big industrial ones, and they're inside that plastic cabinet
thing and it's got a key. Now that
I say that, I've taken one of those before.
You've taken one of the big ones? Yeah, I took it
from my last workplace. The problem
with stealing those is, well actually
there's multiple problems. One is they're
single ply. Yeah, it's not the
best toilet paper I've used but it's, hey,
it's better than none. It's better than none. The other one is
if you put that in your toilet,
anybody who comes to your house knows you robbed it
because you don't buy those.
They don't stock those at New World.
No, I just tell them that I order in bulk from Bunnings.
Yeah, and they're like, it won't even fit on the roll.
And you're like, yeah, just break yourself off before you go in.
It's like, you know, it's even like, you know what I hate?
I hate those toilet rolls from like Countdown or wherever.
And they're like the triple, what do they call them?
They're like the triple length.
Oh, extra long.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So there's single, which is a single roll.
And there's double roll.
And then triple roll.
I've not seen triple roll.
Yeah, triple roll.
We get double roll.
Quilt on, do them.
We're having some good toilet paper chat here. They're going too far with the triple roll because they never fit roll. We get double roll. Quilt on, do them. We're having some good toilet paper chat here.
They're going too far
with the triple roll
because they never fit
on an actual toilet roll holder.
Unless...
They always get stuck
on the wall.
Unless you're the sort of person
who uses one full roll
at a time.
Who is doing that?
Because if you do that,
you get your triple roll out
for the first time.
Use like one serving,
which is a whole roll.
One serving.
And then you're down
to a double,
you're down to a double will go on the holder.
How many pieces of toilet paper would you use?
I don't count the squares.
I'm not a folder.
So you're not a folder.
No.
Yeah, because the folders would count.
They would know how many squares they use.
Surely it's eight squares at a time,
folded into four, folded into two, folded into one.
What is the ideal?
So let's think about this.
Eight?
Or is it four?
Four for a wee, eight for a number two.
All I know is when you don't have to buy your toilet paper based on price,
that's when you know you're rich.
When you can buy the toilet paper that feels the nicest on your bottom,
that's when you know that you've made it in life.
Absolutely.

Brie and Clint.
Let's do Friday-oke.
And now it's time for Brie and Clint's most popular segment, Friday-oke.
I love Friday-oke.
It's the best.
I listen every Friday.
I never miss Fridayoke.
Thanks, Brian Clint.
You've made my Friday again.
Fridayoke!
I know it may seem like we say this every week,
but I don't want to do this week's one.
Nah, let's do it.
That's what it's about.
You and I, both just average, horrific singers,
just having a go.
This is one I wasn't even scared of when you suggested that we sing it.
It wasn't until I stepped into that booth that I realised this song is physically unsingable.
I feel like you and I both had the same experience in the booth this week.
Today for Friday Okie, Brie and I have both spent the same amount of time with a professional audio producer
to make our best attempt at this song by the Veronicas.
I feel so untouched and I want you so much.
What a tune!
It doesn't sound like it would be that hard, does it?
It doesn't, but then you realise that the two twins together in unison...
They've got something.
They make quite the lyrical geniuses.
This is what you need to do.
We would like you to listen to both Friday Okies impartially.
Just listen to them both.
And then once you've heard both, call us on 0800-DIAL-ZM
and tell us who wins.
Oh, no.
Okay?
Five votes will decide it.
As the person who chose the song, Brie,
you have the honour of going first this week.
Please, just turn your radio down.
Just listen to it on low.
That's some good advice from me.
It's better on a low, low sound setting.
Yeah, or off.
Or off.
All the way down.
Here we go. Don't even talk about the consequence Cause right now you're the only thing that's making any sense to me
And I don't give a damn what they say and what they think
Cause you're the only one who's on my mind
I'll never ever let you leave me
Don't try to stop time forever
Never wanna hear you say goodbye
Brace yourself everyone
I feel so untouched and I want you so much
That I just can't resist you
It's not enough to say that I want you so much that I just can't resist you. It's not enough to say that I miss you.
I feel so untouched right now.
Need you so much somehow.
I can't forget you.
Going crazy from the moment I met you.
It's tough.
I feel like I went all right in the first part.
I think, no, I'm not going to say anything.
I'm not going to say anything.
Who am I to judge until you hurt mine?
It's very distorted.
I don't know what effect Al, our audio producer, put on.
I think he did the best he could, I think.
I think he's done the best he can.
So that's Breeze Friday Oaky.
Like I said, no judgment whatsoever.
Okay.
Because here comes mine.
All right.
I'm ready.
After this.
It's a long intro for this song, isn't it?
After this, you tell us who's won.
Bree and Clint. I wanna wanna wanna get get get what I want don't stop Gimme gimme gimme what you got got
Cause I can't wait wait wait anymore more more more
Don't even talk about the consequence
Cause right now you're the only thing that's making any sense to me
And I don't give a damn what they say or what they think
Think cause you're the only one who's on my mind
I'll never ever let you leave me
I'll try to stop time forever never wanna hear you say goodbye
Bye bye bye bye bye I feel so untouched you leave me. I'll try to stop time forever, never want to hear you say goodbye.
I feel so untouched and I want you so much that I just can't resist you. It's not enough to say that I miss you. I feel so untouched right now, need you so much, so how I can't forget you. Why would you do that?
Why would you be like, I'm so scared, I'm so scared,
and then yours is really good?
It was average.
No, it wasn't.
It was flat.
The whole thing was, I just think that you and I...
Well, to my ear, which is a very flat ear, it was fine.
I feel like you and I set a new bar for ourselves last week with that
Elton John song.
Yeah, that's hard to beat,
isn't it?
And then we've just
driven off a cliff this week.
But look, hey, it's done now.
It's out there.
Those never have to see
the light of day ever again.
All we want is someone
to call up and tell us
who won this week.
Five people,
0800-DIALS-AT-M.
You can have your say.
Who are you backing in
this week for Friday Oki?
Bree and Clint. Friday Oki? Brie and Clint.
Friday Oki!
If you're just joining us every Friday at this time,
we go head-to-head in a singing competition.
And neither of us are that great.
Let's be honest.
That may come as a surprise to you
if you've never heard the segment before.
If you have, you'll know that.
This week we did Brie's choice of the Veronica's, Untouched.
Bree sounded like this.
Sorry, Bree sounded like this.
Don't play from the start.
Somehow I can't forget you.
Going crazy from the moment I met you.
Passion, that's what that is.
And mine sounded like this.
Somehow I can't forget you.
Been going crazy since the moment I met you.
I'm glad we played very short snippets of the replays.
Do you think that if we'd sung together,
we'd be more like Lisa and Jess and we'd find a harmony in the middle?
We did do a good duet last week.
Five votes to pick the winner.
Millie's first.
Hi, Millie.
Hi, Millie.
Hello.
Any advice this week on the Friday Oki?
Any critiques?
No, but I think, Brie, I think you're really hard on yourself.
You're actually really good.
That's being very, very nice, I think.
Good enough to get your vote?
Yeah, I'm voting for Brie today.
Oh, thanks, Millie.
Appreciate it.
Madeline's here.
Hi, Madeline.
Hi, guys. How's it going. Oh, thanks, Millie. Appreciate it. Madeline's here. Hi, Madeline. Hi, guys.
How's it going?
Good, thanks, Mads.
What are your thoughts this week?
Hi.
Okay, well, don't you vote because that is a dull and hard song to sing.
But Brie, you've got my vote.
I thought you did really well.
Really?
Wow, okay.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Yes.
Clint sounded like there was a million Clint's locked in one room and they were all really nasally trying to scream.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
You just needed to say Brie wins.
Thanks a lot.
Brie wins.
Brie wins.
Thanks, Mads.
Jack's here.
Hey, Jack's.
Hi, Jack's.
Hey.
How are you guys going?
Good.
How are you going after that?
Might need some therapy.
Who gets your vote?
So do we.
Who do you think did a better job of the Veronicas for Friday Oki this week?
Sorry, Brie, but it's got to be Clint.
No, that is not fair enough.
I agree.
Damn, I definitely knew that I was doing key changes in harmonies as well.
That's definitely a thing I know how to do.
Matching pitch.
I've learnt that.
We're at 2-1.
Lily, who's your vote for on Friday Oki this week?
Hi, Lily.
Hi, I've got to go for Clint.
He really did a good job.
I thought it was going to be not as good, but he did good.
I agree with you.
That's the ultimate compliment in this game.
I thought it was going to be not as good, but it was good.
Okay, we're at tiebreak.
Thank you, Lily.
That is a compliment.
The final vote goes to you, Alice.
And just so you know, you have the deciding vote in Friday Okie this week.
Come on, Alice.
What are you thinking?
Oh, no.
I'm voting for Clint on this one.
Yeah, I have to agree.
And if I was voting, I would definitely vote for you.
Cool.
Well, I'm happy to take the victory.
It feels hollow because I never want to hear that again.
I don't think yours was bad at all.
Next week, we're going to choose a nice, easy Ed Sheeran song to sing,
or something like that.
Oh, yeah, because Ed Sheeran,
one of the greatest singers in the world at the moment,
is so easy.
That's Friday Oaky.

But I was going to choose Metafix.
No, you've been so disrespectful.
I don't know.

Zeddy and Bree and Clint, that's the winner of Birthday Banger today for JIS,
Atomic Ketan, The Tide Is High.
Yes, the girls.
I'm pretty sure in that film clip of that song, one of them is very heavily pregnant.
Oh, yeah?
Or maybe it's this song.
Hole Again?
Yeah, if you go back and look, yeah, they're trying to cover it,
but she's very pregnant.
Why hide it?
That's what I was thinking. Why hide it? That's what I was thinking
Why hide it?
Yeah, but I mean, who knows
When are we going to get the world's first all pregnant girl band?
It might be hard to sync them up
There's a bit of pressure on their relationships there, isn't it?
Okay, that's Birthday Bang and we do it every day
About 5.30 we figure out what was number one on your 16th birthday
Brie and Clint banger we do it every day about 5 30 we figure out what was number one on your 16th birthday there's a interesting study from britain uh or a survey rather that has asked people
if they have their dogs sleep in their bed with them
sleep in doggy style well pretty much um. It's quite interesting the results that have come saying apparently
eight out of ten pet owners compromise their own sleep for their pet's comfort.
Yeah, okay.
A quarter of them let their dog steal the duvet
and 12% even kick their partner out of bed to give their
pets more room. Whoa, okay.
Yep. Which is quite full
on. Yeah. I have cats.
Yeah. Not dogs. I've never had a dog. Do they sleep in the bed?
Yeah, one of them will sleep in the bed. And I
can 100% Bowie. I can 100%
relate to
the feeling of sacrificing your
own comfort for them. Yeah. Because you
just feel so privileged that they've chosen to sleep with you,
and so you don't want to disturb them.
And sometimes it means that you're sleeping curled up like a pretzel.
And, yeah, you feel way worse for it the next day.
Yeah.
But you just do it.
I think this is interesting to me because I'm literally thinking,
I've been thinking about getting a dog for 10 years.
I am one of the biggest dog lovers you will ever meet in your whole life.
I'm obsessed with them.
And I'm probably going to get one this year, so I'm pretty excited.
So I have to start thinking about this.
Yeah.
I would definitely allow the dog in my bed.
Cuddles, Netflix.
Chill.
Chill.
All that stuff.
But especially because I've got a partner now,
I feel like maybe at night time
when we're literally about to go to sleep like not when we're just hanging out yeah but when
we're about to go to sleep i feel like i might put the dog in their own bed because they're a
third wheel well maybe a little bit they can be a little bit of a wedge you know like it could
ruin the mood a little bit yeah okay i think your
opinion will change when you get a dog also this is heavily dependent on the size of your dog can
we say as well yeah if you've got a german shepherd it ain't sleeping in the bed it's not sleeping in
the bed no unless unless you're single then there's room unless you're single and you've got a really
big bed we're not talking about the um the hygiene side of this either i'm probably not hugely
hygienic to have any animal in your bed.
No.
But when you're a pet owner, you don't think about that.
I think you just...
Because you don't think about them as dirty.
No, and you just obviously just deal with the fact that things are a little bit messier.
Yeah.
A little bit dirtier.
Just on the personal side, would you be able to do it if there was an animal in the room?
I have before.
Yeah.
I could do it again. Yeah, I know the room? I have before. Yeah.
I could do it again.
Yeah, I know.
Same.
Same with going to the toilet.
Gear yourself up for a bit of a strange family story.
This is coming out of Russia.
It's a story about a popular Russian blogger.
Her name is Marina.
She has about 400,000 people on Instagram that follow her.
And she's lived with her husband for the past 10 years.
Before, unfortunately, the relationship has ended in divorce.
Oh.
Which is sad.
So she's currently 35.
And recently she has revealed that she has a new man in her life.
Congratulations.
To all of her followers.
It's her ex-husband's 20-year-old son, Vladimir.
Ah, okay.
I don't know how things work in Russia. I've never been to Russia, but maybe that's kosher?
So this is, I don't think so because she has come out on social media and she was like,
you know, I know a lot of you aren't going to agree with this, et cetera, et cetera.
But, you know, we fell in love and this is, you know, we're happy.
Is she an influencer?
She is, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
And it's obviously not her son.
No, so.
Because she's only 35 and he's 20, is that right? Yeah, so he's 20, not her son. No. Because she's only 35 and he's 20.
Is that right?
Yeah.
So he's 20.
Not her son.
She adopted, I think he had five children.
Oh, yeah.
And she became, yeah.
But I'm pretty sure they also had kids together.
Yeah.
And they are now, Marina and Vladimir, are now helping to raise the three other siblings.
The weird thing is
she's 35, he's 20.
She was married to the dad for 10 years.
So she's known this kid since he was 10.
I know.
And that's what makes it a bit strange.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I don't like it when people
say this comparison
because it doesn't always work.
But this would be infinitely more creepy
if it was a man.
Wouldn't it?
Yeah.
If it was a 35-year-old man
who was shacking up with his ex-wife's daughter.
To be honest,
it's creepy either way.
I don't really look at it like that.
I just think it's creepy both ways.
Yeah, fair enough.
A little bit.
Yeah, he would have been 10.
Did she leave the dad?
Or did the dad leave her?
That's a good question.
Because it's just like a revenge thing.
If she's like, if I can't have you.
And were they having, you know, an affair beforehand?
Well, he's 20.
I mean, you know, it might have been for a year before.
Who knows?
I don't know.
Yeah, no, that's off.
But can you imagine, what do you think is worse?
The ex-wife having to tell the husband that she's dating his son
or the son having to tell his dad that he's dating his ex-wife?
The son.
The son, I think.
Because he still has a tie with him and a good relationship.
Look, it's bad both ways.
Because you're keeping a broken relationship together then too.
She's still has to, she's got to be rounded at his place at Christmas.
Yeah.
Like if he, he's not even 21 yet.
If he needs to get like a new passport or something,
she's going to have to ask the dad to sign the documents.
Well, at least they know each other.
Okay.
That's the latest in...
Weird family stories.
Weird Russian influencer stories.
