Hello everybody, welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast with Matty
Where if you haven't got the podcast for the last few days

And that's the only time you interact with us
You go, hey who's that guy?
That's Matty, we've got to wave to everybody Matty
Oh my god, hi

Hi.
Hello.
There we go.
This is on Friday.
We do an international birthday banger
where we get people to submit their birthday
from around the world on our Facebook page
and then we slowly get through them.
People who can't call the show normally.
Perfect.
I love this.
Ben, what's the running tally?
How many have we done so far?
Oh, quite a few.
Yeah.
It'd be in the hundreds. In the hundreds? That's impressive, man. Yeah, what's the running tally? How many have we done so far? Oh, quite a few. Yeah. It'd be in the hundreds.
In the hundreds?
That's impressive, man.
Yeah, I'd say so.
Three a week for four years.
I don't know.
I mean, you do the math.
There's a lot of people in the list.
I want to do the math.
It's probably definitely over 500.
Someone could do the math if they wanted to.
I thought we only had 200 last year.
I think it's in the tens of thousands.
After you've done today's, I'll be able to tell you the math.
Yeah, that's good. That's good. We better do
one then. Here it comes.
Do you want me to do it? Yeah.
Oh, man.
Okay, everybody.
First, we go to Sydney, Australia, where Nicole Anderson has submitted a birthday banger.
Nicole's birthday is the 26th of November, 1992,
which means she was 16 on the 26th of November, 2008.
And this was the number one song.
Can't read my, can't read my,
no, we can't read my, oh, this place.
This was on the radio show today as well.
And we didn't pick it.
Is this a sign?
Is this the universe saying, hey...
Give Lady Gaga a chance.
Give her a go, all right?
She's good.
Trust us.
She's going to be big.
She's an unknown, but take a chance on her.
She's a rough diamond.
Okay, we're going to Cassie Hodges from Wollastown in Invercargill.
Who knew, and this is going to sound very condescending,
who knew Invercargill had suburbs?
I know.
I thought Invercargill was just Invercargill.
Yeah, that is very condescending.
Of course it's got suburbs, but I'd never heard of one,
so we're going to Wollastown.
And Cassie's birthday is the 15th of September 1993,
which means she was 16 in 2009.
And this was topping the charts.
Banger.
For our global listeners, Invercargill is way, way, way at the bottom of the South Island of New Zealand.
It's where they filmed The World's Fastest Indian.
Correct.
That's where the movie is set, right?
Correct.
With Anthony Hopkins.
Yeah.
Did they film it there?
Yeah, I think so. so Yeah on the salt flats
Or maybe salt flats
Or did they
Beach
He did it on the beach
And then went overseas
To race on the salt flats

Cambridgeshire.
In the UK, you get the last birthday banger of the day.
Stevie was born on the 6th of January 1994,
which means she was 16 on the 6th of January 2010,
and this was the number one song. Don't stop, make it pop.
DJ, blow my speakers up tonight.
I'ma fight till we see the sunlight. This is from 2010.
That's confronting.
I know, right?
This is 12 years old.
I mean, to be fair, it was the first we'd ever heard of Kesha, right?
Yeah, yeah, true.
But still, where did that go?
I know.
The numbers are in.
We have done 268 international birthday banners.
Wow.
That's a lot.
Go us.

Yes, it is.

Okay, so read us one out,
even though we know that you're not being tricked.
Shout out to Mike Hunt. It was construction in Greymouth.
I know you're going to read that one.
You told me to read it.
I thought you might censor it a bit.
You're a live television guy.
I thought you would.
Sorry.
Should I not have done that?
Am I getting fired before I've even started this job?
They can't fire you.
You're in a casual contract, so don't worry about it.
Today on the show, we're going to do a Friday Okie.
Matty has selected the immortal Robbie Williams for us to say.
How did you go in your record for this?
Well, I went in hot.
Yes.
Much like I have at the start of the show.
That's not to say I did well, though.
Mr. Hunt does not get a shout out on this show ever, okay?
I went in hot, but yeah, I'm not sure that it came off the way that I thought it was going to come off in my head.
Have you heard the finished product?
I have not.
Okay, neither.
We'll hear it together at 5 o'clock for Friday Okie.
We'll also add one more item to our cart today at 4 o'clock,
and we'll give you a shot at winning the brand new Honda Jazz just before 6 o'clock this evening.
It's such a good car.
We'll start the show with Tradiverse Lady.
If you'd like to play, you can call us right now on 0800-DIAL-ZM.
And this Friday Jam is purely for me.
I've gone down a big paramour wormhole recently.
I mean, that's fantastic.
I can see how you can get down there.
Right?
Yeah.
So here's a Friday Jam hand-selected by me.
It's That's What You Get on ZM.
So, Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Tradie versus Lady. Okay. Tradie versus Lady.
Okay, Tradie versus Lady time.
The ladies are in front ever so slightly.
12 games to 11.
Are we going to go into the weekend with a tie game?
Well, that's up to our Tradie today.
Let's meet our Lady first.
She's from Tamaki Makoto.
She's 22 years old and she's stuck at home with COVID
Oh no
Welcome to the show Grace
Hi Grace
How are you doing?
I haven't been there
It's definitely not a walk in the park
You sound scratchy and congested
Oh god Grace
I feel like I just caught COVID over the radio
How many days into it are you? Oh, God, Grace. I feel like I just caught COVID over the radio.
How many days into it are you?
I stayed at home from Monday and then I got some tests on Tuesday.
So, like, four days.
You've been diagnosed since Tuesday, so maybe you're over the worst of it.
Hopefully.
Okay, let's meet your competition today.
They're a lady tradie.
They're from Dennyverk.
They're 22 years old and they have two alpaca.
Welcome to the show, Sophie.
Hi.
Hi, Sophie.
Is the plural of alpaca, alpaca or alpacas?
Oh, I've got no idea.
But what are they like?
What are they like as pets?
I'll be honest, they're not everything they cracked up to be.
They don't actually like me.
It's a bit rough.
They kind of spit at you.
Are they like that llama off, what's that movie?
Napoleon Dynamite.
Napoleon Dynamite, yeah.
Stop it.
I actually called one of them Tina after that movie.
What does he feed her on that movie?
Is it lasagna?
Yeah, something like that. Eat your lasagna, you stupid llama.
Something, okay.
Sophie with the alpaca, your buzzer is tradie.
Grace, your buzzer is lady.
First person to three correct answers gets 50 bucks,
thanks to KFC.
Good luck, girls.
All right, question number one.
US President Joe Biden has condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Who did Joe Biden replace as president?
Trudy.
Lady.
Sophie.
That would be Donald Trump.
Got it, Sophie.
Speaking of stupid llama.
Very good.
One point to the tradies on that one.
Sitting around eating lasagna these days, isn't he?
Yeah.
Question number two.
Were today's COVID cases in the 10, 11 or 12,000?
30.
I heard Grace first.
12,011.
Got it, Grace.
And Grace is one of them.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry, Grace.
That's why she knows the number.
All right, question number three.
A US blog has published
an unverified report
that the Queen has died
and is refusing to take it down.
How old is Queen Elizabeth?
94, 95
or 96?
Trudy. Yes, Sophie.
I want to go for
a complete guess. 96?
No.
Grace, there's two other
options. What is it?
She's 95.
Well done.
Two points to the ladies.
One more, Grace.
Question number four.
Apparently, we've been pronouncing Lindsay Lohan's name wrong all this time.
It's Lohan.
Name the movie Lindsay appeared in as a kid.
The parent what?
Lady.
Yes, Grace, for the win.
The Parent Trap.
She's a lady.
Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady.
Well done, Grace.
Congratulations.
You needed a win this week, Grace, and you got it.
You've tested positive for a tradie versus lady victory.
We've got 50 KFC chicken dollars coming your way.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
It's great on a hangover.
I wonder how it is on COVID.
You should check it out.
Hopefully your taste buds are working, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Actually, it's cash as well, not just KFC chicken dollars,
so spend it on whatever the hell you want.
Exactly.
Treat yourself, Grace.
Brie and Clint.
Maddie, you've done a lot of live TV crosses in your time.
Some good, some bad.
I was going to say some very memorable ones too.
Didn't you break into Government House one time?
Yeah, I jumped the fence once.
That's right.
That's where the Prime Minister lives.
Yes.
And I was broadcasting live from outside there
for a completely different reason.
It was just a random news story that I was reporting on
and the host of Breakfast at the time.
You may have heard of him, Paul Henry.
We got talking about how low the fence was
and he suggested that someone could easily jump over the fence.
I'm highly, highly susceptible to peer pressure.
And so when he suggested I see if someone could, in fact,
jump over the fence, I did. Of course, why not? Turns out they don't love it in fact jump over the fence, I did.
Of course, why not?
Turns out they don't love it when you jump over the Prime Minister's fence.
Absolutely not.
And I almost got arrested on live television.
You found a chink in their armour.
You found a flaw in the security system.
The elite security system.
Actually, there's a lot of protests in Wellington at the moment.
Let's not talk about security failures in government houses.
My advice is not to do it.
Good.
This is a completely legal, completely innocent live TV cross fail,
but it's cute.
There's a guy who reports for the ABC in America.
His name is Miles Harris, and he seems like he's relatively new.
Right.
Like, I don't imagine you being on TV
is still a novelty for your mum, right?
No, she's over it.
No, she doesn't even watch anymore.
No, she's over it.
This still seems like it's an exciting thing for his mum.
So this is Miles Harris
lining up his big live television cross to the ABC network.
He's in Ohio when somebody he knows drives into shot.
Take a listen. Did you record that? Hi, D'Angelo. Hi, baby.
D'Angelo is the cameraman.
She's saying hi to everybody.
Look, I get it.
If your kid has worked this hard to get on TV and finally he's making his debut, you're proud.
You're proud, yeah.
You're a proud parent.
She just needed to drive on the other side of the camera.
She needed to drive around the back of the camera.
She drove straight into the shot.
Hi, baby.
But it's cute.
My kids ever get on TV?
That will be me.
I'll be there.
Oh, my God.
That's my kid.
I made them.
I made them.
I made them.
That's me.
Cute.
Bree and Clint.
COVID is absolutely blasting us at the moment.
It's everywhere, mate.
You can't escape the thing.
I'm sick of talking about it.
It doesn't mean that has anything to do with the,
like, it doesn't matter if you're sick of it.
There's 12,000 cases today.
They're literally sick with it.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We're sick of it.
Some people are sick with it.
It's going to get really tricky for businesses
and employees
and bosses around the country.
A little bit easier with the changes to like close contacts.
They're now only household contacts, right?
Yeah.
But still, I mean, 12,000 cases today.
So many people are getting COVID.
That means so many households are going to have to isolate.
We're still four or five weeks away from the peak as well.
So what does that do to workplaces around the country?
Some restaurants in Auckland have begun closing their doors.
The very fancy Prego restaurant in Ponsonby,
or as Matty calls it, the local, closed its doors
because they can't staff it at the moment.
There's a story today about a cafe in Tauranga
where customers have actually pitched in to keep the doors open
by doing the dishes.
And joining us on the phone from Tauranga's Mereterano Cafe
is Jo Brown.
Hi, Jo.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
How are you doing, Jo?
God, what a time, right?
Oh, it is absolutely crazy.
Absolutely.
You are joking, right? Your customers are not
doing dishes for you, are they? They actually are. It was really weird the first day they
came out and put all my tables out on the footpath and one just grabbed his pinny and
went out the back and started doing dishes. And I'm like, no, you don't have to do that, buddy. And he's like, I want to do it.
And people were clearing tables.
Customers were clearing tables.
That's incredible.
Hey, and I saved wages.
Yeah.
How many staff are you down by at the moment, Jo?
12 out of 16.
So you have 16 employees, and 12 of them are currently isolating.
They were isolating until the changes happened at midnight last night.
So you got them back?
I've got all of them back except the chef that had COVID.
Oh, he got the COVID.
Yeah, right.
He got COVID.
So basically he got the COVID and wiped out all of the Saturday, Sunday staff.
Yeah.
Jo, that says so much about your business though, that the customers,
because there are so many cafes where you go in, you order your coffee, you leave,
that's all you think about.
But these customers clearly care about you guys a lot.
Yeah, I guess I've been here for nearly 20 years
and there's probably 50 people that come seven days a week,
twice a day.
Wow.
Yeah, so it's a very local base
and I guess we are like a family.
Well, they're proving that, for sure.
But I give them shit too because the dishwasher,
the dishwasher was like talking to the customers
and I'm like, mate, that
is not where the dishes are.
Are you cracking the whip on your free labour, are you, Jo?
He was leaning, and I said, yeah, got time to lean, got time to clean.
You're bloody brilliant.
I've been thinking about ways that you can pay these people, because obviously times
are really tough, and you're up against the wall at the moment.
Have you thought about maybe giving them,
next time they come in,
give them an extra stamp on their coffee card?
Oh.
You know?
If I'm paying, they're paying.
I love it, Jo.
You're ruthless.
You're a savvy businesswoman.
That's a compliment.
A savvy businesswoman.
You guys are close.
No, it's, yeah, sorry.
The Paul Rutherford that was doing the dishes,
I said to him today, on a serious note,
can I please buy you lunch?
And he got quite snotty and said absolutely not.
Like he got, he did not want anything for free.
And internally I said, perfect, great scenario.
Yeah, you're a few because I didn't actually want to buy you lunch. Hey, Joe., I said, perfect. Great scenario. Yeah, you're a few
because I didn't actually want to buy you lunch.
Hey, Jo.
To be honest, no.
Yeah, great people.
And like Maddie said,
it says a lot about you guys as well.
So well done on running such a place
that people actually want to chip in to get you through.
And we hope that-
Thank you very much.
It's like there's lots more to come.
And we hope you and all the other cafes,
because we can't survive without our coffee and our piece of cake in the morning, you know?
So you've got to get through.
We really appreciate it.
Perfect.
Thank you very much.
Hey, Jo, just quickly, would you hire them?
Absolutely not.
Bree and Clint.
Time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio, this is the latest.
This is one of those Simpsons predicts stories.
They're everywhere.
Yeah, they've had some really, really good ones,
like Trump becoming president.
Some people say they predicted the iPod as well on my phone.
This one is the latest one that people are saying
the Simpsons managed to predict.
The war between the Ukraine and Russia. Wow. So this is an episode saying the Simpsons managed to predict, the war between the Ukraine and Russia.
Wow.
So this is an episode of The Simpsons from 1998 called Simpsontide.
And the scene that I'm about to play you that they're saying predicted the war
is where there's a United Nations meeting
and the person who is the Russian ambassador to the United Nations
says they want to bring back the Soviet Union.
Have a listen.
The Soviet Union will be pleased to offer amnesty to your wayward vassal.
The Soviet Union?
I thought you guys broke up.
Yes, that's what we wanted you to think.
I mean, it's pretty good.
Yeah.
But at the same time, who didn't predict a war between the Ukraine and Russia?
True, although it was in the late 90s.
I mean, it wasn't like...
1998, yeah.
It wasn't like it was six months ago.
Maybe then you could go, well, obvious.
And when you see it, it involves tanks,
and it's the same as a lot of the imagery
you're seeing on the news at the moment.
So I don't know,
maybe The Simpsons did predict Russia invading the Ukraine.
Who knows? So good. Yeah.'t know, maybe The Simpsons did predict Russia invading the Ukraine. Who knows?
So good.
Yeah.
Not the war, The Simpsons.
Not Putin.
No.
There's the latest.
Brie and Clint.
Can be tough being single, right?
Totally.
I mean, it's been a while since, well, you especially were single.
But, you know, if you're flying solo and you need something done
that requires maybe like a two-person job
or just something you're not very good at, who do you call on?
We talked about this earlier in the week, even just making the bed.
Yeah.
Like if you've got a queen-size bed and you've got to put a fitted sheet on,
you don't understand your own privilege if you're in a couple
and you make the bed together.
Running from one side to the other, constantly.
That's reason enough to get shacked out.
Exactly.
I've said this before, the real reason people get into relationships,
somebody to make the bed with.
Totally.
And so that every now and then someone else empties the dishwasher.
Yeah, true.
Because isn't that the most painful job?
I hate it.
You open it and it's full, but it's clean.
And then you just close the lid and you go,
I'm going to pretend like I haven't seen this.
Well, Nicole Peaver from New York is single.
And she needed some shelves installed in her apartment.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, she wanted like a bookshelf. Okay. On the wall.
So she got the bookshelf ready to go,
but they were like on brackets on the wall.
Yeah.
Not a job she was willing to take on herself?
No.
So she asked a handyman,
she put the word out to a handyman
to see if someone could come and do it for her.
Yeah.
And I said that like it's a job
I'd be willing to do myself.
I'm not, it's not. Yeah, I did. I'd get a guy on. And I say that like it's a job I'd be willing to do myself. I'm not. It's not.
Yeah, I'd get a guy on.
When I was single, I had a mirror
like a full length mirror that
sat on the floor of my wardrobe
forever.
It was meant to be wall mounted. Yes.
Right, I got it. I just didn't trust myself.
No. And neither did Nicole. So she
thought, well, I'll see if a handyman can come and
do it. And a handyman quoted her $200 to come and hang these shelves.
Whoa, yeah.
And she's not, you know, she does fine for herself,
but she was like, I'm not willing to spend that much money on these shelves.
Yeah.
So instead she went to Tinder.
And she thought, well, I can get two things possibly out of this.
I can find a guy to go and have a nice dinner with,
and then I could also try and find a guy to have a nice dinner with
who is willing to come and hang my shelves afterwards.
Yeah, right.
And she did it.
She did.
She had a nice, successful date with a guy.
Yeah.
She put it to him,
would you be willing to come back to my apartment to hang my shelves for me?
And he did.
And he was like, that's a euphemism.
Yeah, exactly. He's like, I'd love to hang your shelves. I know what that means. And he was like, that's a euphemism. Yeah, exactly.
He's like, I'd love to hang your shelves.
I know what that means.
I've got shelves at my house
where they are particularly well hung.
Well hung.
Very well hung shelves.
Anyway, he gets back there
and it's actual shelves that he needs to hang.
Okay.
Well, I mean, he's agreed to it.
Please tell me he followed through
and he was a gentleman and he hung the shelves.
He followed through.
Yeah.
And she documented it on TikTok.
Unfortunately for the girl, well, unfortunately for both of them, I guess.
For Nicole who wanted her shelves hung.
Yeah.
And for this guy who was clearly trying to impress the girl by hanging the shelves.
Yeah.
He hung them upside down.
So she ended up with upside down shelves.
And I mean this in the nicest way possible.
She got what she had coming.
Exactly.
I would say those are not well hung shelves.
And that's not what you're looking for either in your shelves
or from a Tinder date either.
Upside down.
Oh, I'm looking at them now.
Those are very ambiguous shelves.
I would hang them that way.
But obviously that's a brace that's meant to go underneath. Again, why you shouldn't get me down your shelves. Yeah. I would hang them that way, but obviously that's a brace
that's meant to go underneath.
Again,
why you shouldn't get me
to hang the shelves.
Yeah.
It's pretty hot though,
I reckon,
someone doing some work.
No, not him,
I mean the act.
Oh, sorry.
Doing some DIY.
He's fine, yeah,
but the act of doing some DIY
early in the night
is very hot.
Very attractive.
I once,
I'm not afraid to say it,
I once fixed a bed for a girl that I was seeing.
How early in are we talking?
Like, third, fourth date.
Wow.
I fixed her bed.
What, did she have some loose knots?
Well, full disclosure, I broke the bed as well.
But that's a whole other story.
Write yourself.
I broke the bed.
I fixed the bed. I fixed the bed.
I have never received so much kudos as I did after doing that.
And I've got to tell you, I made it up completely.
I just went to Mitre 10 and I bought, you know,
those nails that are on a strip and you put the strip up
and you bang all of the nails in?
I don't know if the bed survived much longer, but, you know.
Well, it's four o'clock in the afternoon,
so we won't get into what kind of kudos you got.
What sort of nailing?
Excuse me.
We're meant to be talking about something else.
I thought we could take some calls this afternoon
on DIY fails, particularly from your partner.
Great.
So your partner comes in,
got all the confidence they need,
and they're like, yeah, I can take care of that.
Not a dating situation. Any partner, they're like, yeah, I can take care of that. Not a dating situation. Any partner.
They're like, yeah, I can do that. Turns out
you should have got a professional in.
0800 dials at M or text us to
9696 this afternoon.
We want to know your partner's DIY
fails. Oh, they'll
be there. Oh yeah, totally.
You had to pay more in the long run to get it done.
You had to pay someone to fix
what your partner fixed.
Let us know.
Dob them in.
Oh, $800 at M.
Maddie's telling you how to get work done around your house.
All you got to do is get a Tinder date to do it for you.
Exactly.
This girl in New York needed her shelves hung.
Yeah, not a euphemism.
And so she went to Tinder.
She needed her pipes checked stop it
she
she needed a job done
she needed something to look under the hood
she needed a job done
and so
she went to Tinder
to get a job done
it was shelves
real shelves too
she needed some shelving done and her Tinder date did it for her To get a job done. Yeah. It was shelves. It was shelves. Real shelves too. She needed them hung.
She needed some shelving done.
Yeah.
And her Tinder date did it for her.
But he screwed it up.
He hung the shelves upside down.
Upside down.
Your one opportunity to impress this girl.
I imagine him standing next to his upside down shelves
that he's just hung really proud of himself.
And he's going, so?
Can I have a pash now?
And she's like, they're frigging upside down bro
and he's like
what do you expect
it's free labour
exactly
I hope she paid for dinner
I mean she was exploiting him
he screwed it up
it's tit for tat
even if it was tit for tat
Lynette's here
hi Lynette
hey how are you
good happy Friday
we want to know
your partner's DIY
fail this afternoon dob Dob them in.
What happened? Okay, so my
husband noticed that the pantry
doors were off culture, like the handles weren't
straight, so him
and his mate decided, oh, we'll whip the door off
and plane one end of it and that'll fix
everything. So they took it off,
went outside, thought they were real cool with their
plane and everything and, you know, power tools
and everything. Decided to, yep, grab some off.
Went to hang it back up and realised that the plane's the wrong end of the door.
Brilliant.
I've got an important question for you on this DIY attempt.
Before anything happened, Lynette, you said he noticed the door handles were off kilter.
Had you noticed anything?
Like, did you notice an issue at all?
Yeah, but he's one of those people that wants to do shit straight away,
so I just decided to ignore it because if I told him he'd want to do it sooner.
So do you have uneven pantry doors now or do you just have no pantry doors?
No pantry doors.
That's a trendy look, isn't it?
We sold the house with the uneven.
You sold it with the uneven?
We sold the house with the uneven doors.
The ironic part is his other brother's a builder,
so if we'd waited a couple more days, he would have done it properly.
He would have been fine.
Yeah.
I love the idea that the pantry doors were so rooted,
you had to sell the whole house.
Oh, you've stuffed that up.
Also, why wait a couple of days for the brother when you can do it yourself?
Obviously, DIY.
Yeah.
Bryony's here.
Hi, Bryony.
Hi.
What was your partner's DIY fail?
So we were repainting the walls
and it was like old jibs.
So my partner tried to rejib the walls
before we started painting it
because it was going to cost like $500.
But I ended up doing such a shit job
and now we have really ugly walls.
And do you remind him of it every single day?
He actually reminds me of stuff.
I feel like walking to a room and he goes,
man, these walls are shit.
I love the idea because jibbing and plastering
is actually not an easy thing to do.
Like there are jibbers and plasterers
whose whole job it is to make walls look smooth
and your partner's like, pfft, 500 bucks.
I can do that.
Quick two-minute YouTube tutorial.
Easy.
Well, good.
At least you know your limitations going forward.
Finally, Megan.
See, I'm Megan.
Hello.
How's it going?
Good.
What happened?
A few months ago in the last lockdown,
I couldn't reach one of our mirrors that was hung up on the wall,
so I asked my partner
to clean it because he's like a foot taller than me.
I left the room
and then I came back and he was using
like a dish scourer and dish
soap. So the whole
mirror was completely destroyed.
It was scratched everywhere. He cleaned
a mirror with like steel wool?
Yes.
That's not even a DIY fail, that's just like
an IQ fail. Are you sure you're with the right
man? Yeah, deal breaker. That's a deal breaker.
Leave him. Are you worried that you're
dating a big dummy?
Well, usually he's actually onto everything
but this is just, yeah, not his moment.
Or do you think he did
it as a way of saying to you
never make me do anything again?
Never make me do this again. Because that is a male tactic.
Maddie's right. Guys will do a terrible job
of the first thing they're asked to do, like cooking,
so that their partner goes, oh, don't worry.
They never have to do it again. Yeah, don't worry, I'll just do it from now on.
Yeah, yeah, well. True, maybe I should hit him up
about that, see if there was anything behind it.
Yeah, cleaning with steel wool. You need to check what he's
using for a loofer in the shower. The man
may be stripping his skin off. That's terrifying.
Thank you, Megan, for your call.
I love this text.
My ex of 13 years was nicknamed Half-Ass Nick.
It's every job he did needed some sort of fixing up later.
There you go.
They walk among us, everybody.
That's why, and if there are any tradies listening,
they'll back me up.
Just get the professionals in, man.
Swallow your...
Dude, swallow your pride.
Get someone in.
They'll do a much better job than that,
and you won't have shitty looking walls.
Kia ora.

Network in partnership with Sparklab. uh russia overnight has invaded ukraine crazy right i heard that news update at four o'clock
that said it's the largest invasion in europe since world war ii it's absolutely bonkers yeah
and a really big deal so this is where i i'm glad you're here because it's clearly a big deal but i
think a lot of new zealanders don't necessarily understand how big a deal or because it's clearly a big deal, but I think a lot of New Zealanders don't necessarily understand
how big a deal or why it's such a big deal.
And I get it.
There's so much going on in the world right now.
Yeah.
And especially when you feel literally so far away from something like that,
it's easy to go, oh, I don't care.
Not another thing.
Yeah.
Not my problem.
It's your job to care about it, though.
You were anchoring TVNZ Breakfast this morning.
It's the number one news story in the world.
So can you explain the Russia-Ukraine conflict to us?
I'm going to give it a go.
Go, cool.
So conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been going on
since Ukraine separated from Russia,
which was at the time called the USSR.
That happened in the early 90s. So this is a
long time. Right, okay.
But they used to be part of Russia. They used to
be part of Russia. They used to be part of the USSR. Yes,
exactly. They separated.
They became their own states and
countries. Yeah. But it's always been
a little bit fraught. Titchy.
Yeah. And then in 2014,
Ukrainians got rid
of their president at the time
who was super chummy with Russia.
Right.
And Russia went, we're not loving this.
And so they invaded this region in Ukraine called Crimea.
Yes.
And they took over Crimea.
That's on the border, right?
Correct.
Of Russia and the Ukraine.
Which actually covers quite a lot of ground.
Yeah.
Like the border between Russia and Ukraine is really long.
Justin Timberlake wrote that song about it, Crimea River, right?
Stop it.
It's literally the border, the Crimea River, right?
I don't know if that one's factually correct, but sorry, you carry on.
I'll fact check that later.
But yeah, that invasion was huge.
And that was in 2014.
And since then, like 14,000 people have died.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Okay.
So it's huge.
Yeah.
So this isn't like an overnight thing.
This has been going on for a really long time.
Yeah.
Recreating the Justin Timberlake joke.
Not great.
That's okay.
We'll let it slide.
And so Ukraine since then has been like, this isn't cool.
Yeah. We can't be having this. And so Ukraine Since then has been like This isn't cool Yeah
We can't be having this
So they wanted to join NATO
Which is like a big
Collaboration of about 28
28 European countries
That have formed this like military alliance
It gives them coverage right
Against a superpower like Russia
Totally
It means that they
There's a deterrent for Russia to invade A a bit of protection yeah uh but russia really don't want ukraine to
join nato um partly i think because they like the idea of being able to maybe reform the ussr but
also they don't want these big military operations so close to their border yeah so they've been
trying to get all these european countries turn down Ukraine's application to join NATO.
Yeah.
You with me?
Yeah, I'm with you.
Yeah.
But everyone else in Europe's like, no, let them join.
Like more the merrier.
Come on board.
Come on board.
Especially because Russia is seen as this big superpower.
Yeah.
So they're like, we'd love to have Ukraine on board.
Balance it out.
Absolutely.
A bit more maybe, yeah.
So now Russia's like, we can't let this happen.
We're going to invade Ukraine to
stop them from joining NATO
and take control
of Ukraine. Which is crazy
in 2022 that you think a country
will just go into another country
and go, we own you now. Yeah.
Which is effectively what they're trying to do, right?
Like if Australia said, we want New Zealand
and then just push their way in by military force,
like it doesn't...
It seems crazy.
And especially when you think of it in terms like that, right?
Yeah.
But this is literally happening
and looks like it could quite easily happen.
Like it would not surprise anyone
if Ukraine just became part of Russia now.
So the big tension is also, right,
is any of the other big Western countries like the UK
or the US going to do anything about it, right?
Totally.
And all of these Western countries have said,
we're not going to engage in any kind of military operation.
No, because everyone's got nukes.
Yeah, exactly.
And also, things have changed.
They're not just going to send in their army and their military
into an unnecessary battle that could likely result
in a huge number of deaths.
So instead of sending in military operations,
they've just gone naughty.
Naughty, yeah.
Snapped on the head.
We're going to cut off your, I don't know,
we're going to make it hard for you to trade with the West.
Exactly.
So they've all imposed actually quite heavy sanctions on Russia,
shut down banks and that kind of thing, like banking operations
so that they can't have overseas banking operations going.
They've stopped funneling money into big projects
that Russia wanted to be responsible for.
So there are some quite big things that they've done.
And essentially they're trying to kind of isolate Russia
so that Russia goes,
crap, we can't do anything without all of this money
kind of coming in and stuff.
But it's kind of like,
who knows whether that will be enough to put a stop to it.
Because inevitably, Vladimir Putin, the leader of Russia,
would have gone, well, this is exactly what's going to happen.
Yeah, I know what to expect.
I know what to expect.
I'm willing to do it anyway.
Exactly.
And he has done it.
And he has done it.
And there's been like, they're saying there's been
more than 100 Ukrainians have died in the last 24 hours.
Yeah.
Possibly more.
Yeah. And it more. Yeah.
And it's just crazy.
Imagine going from just wandering the streets
in your country one day.
To being shelled by Russia.
And literally having to go underground
into your subway stations to take shelter.
Yeah.
Crazy.
It's fascinating.
And there are so many pictures,
like crazy pictures coming out of that as well.
So hopefully that gives you a bit of an crazy pictures coming out of that as well.
So hopefully that gives you a bit of an insight into why all of that is going on.
Totally.
Because like Matty said, it's so far away.
It is so far away, but it is really important.
And also I get it like, you know,
you go to a dinner party
and your smart friend is talking about something
and you get lost and it goes right over your head.
Happens to me all the time.
Now you got a bit of back.
Now you got, yeah.
Just take a little, one or
two of those facts, not the Justin
Timberlake one. And then they go, wow!
And you go, thank you, my friend Maddie McClain. Exactly.
Perfect.
Time for the one second song challenge.
Maddie's second ever one second song a song. No hesitating. You only got one second.
One second.
Matty's second ever one second song challenge and he's coming off a win as well.
Also, is he?
Are you singing that, Ben?
No, that's sound keeper Gary.
Oh.

Good singer too.
He'd be good on Friday.
You're coming in with momentum.
You won your first ever One Second Song Challenge.
Can you go back to back though?
Yeah, I feel like I struck it lucky last time.
We're about to find out if it's a fluke.
Let's meet our team members.
Ethan's here.

Love it. Yes. I'm ready.
Yeah, me too. I'm so ready. Nice
faking there, Jess.
Anastasia, lay down the law.

Yeah.
It's Shakira, Whenever, Wherever.
No!
The other Shakira song.
Damn it!
Sorry, Jess.
I was halfway there.
No problem.
You're going to get it for us this time, though.
You're going to pull it back.
I am.
All right, Jess and Ethan,
this round's a little bit different than normal.
It's a little bit tough,
so I'm going to accept just the song title
or just the artist, okay?
Ooh, okay.
Your names are your buzzers, guys.
Let's hear song number two.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

That's all right.
We'll go back to Maddie and Clint.
Let's hear song number three.
Maddie.
Ooh.
That is Atomic Kitten, Tide Is High.
Wow.
You were hot on that buzzer.
Well done, Maddie.
I would have said Sugar Babes.
Yeah, I said Sugar Babes the first time I heard this one.
For all saints.
Being gay is paying off.
Yes, well.
Did you say being gay is paying off?
Being gay.
Oh, being gay.
All right.
We're going to go back to Jess and Ethan.
Ethan, if you get a point here, you could win it for your team.
Sure.
Ethan, hopefully it's a nice big straight anthem.
All right, guys.
Let's hear song number four.

Appleveen.
Comicated.
Oh, he didn't buzz in, Jess.
Oh, I forgot to buzz.

Oh, no.
I was about...
Okay, Jess, what's the answer?
Oh, no.
Complicated.
Ever Levine, complicated.
The comeback of the year.
You've kept us in it.
What's the score?
What's the score?
We're currently sitting at a tie, 2-2.
Oh, okay.
All right, it's Maddie versus Clint for the decider.
Let's hear a song.
Oh, that had so much tension.
That was...
My heart is racing.
Yes.
Let's hear song number five.

Is it just Slim Shady?
No.
Is it the real Slim Shady?
No.
Without me.
Oh, Ethan, well done.
Well done, Ethan.
And with that, the 50 KFC chicken dollars go to team Maddie and Ethan.
Yes.
Congratulations, guys.
Boys.
Nice work, Ethan.
Without me.
Sorry, I don't know whether I was meant to say anything.
No, you were.
Honestly, we were floundering.
Someone had to win it.
There we go.
That's the one second song challenge.
Well done, Maddie.
Two wins in a row.
Thank you.
Bree and Clint.
This is a real interesting one, though, that came out of the internet this week on Reddit.
Someone posted, am I the a-hole?
Because they've taken their mum to task,
and the internet is calling mum narcissistic.
But is she?
This person has broken ranks with the family and said,
I'm over it.
I can't do it anymore.
Since I was a child,
my mother has expected us to buy her
presents on our birthdays.
So when the kid
has a birthday, the mum
wants the presents. So the mum
goes, I
gave birth to you. I carried
you. I carried you. I raised
you. I raised you. I clothed
you. I fed you.
When you say it like this, it actually sounds kind of reasonable.
Doesn't it just?
But it's not the way, right?
Mum has her day to be celebrated.
It's her birthday.
Exactly.
And she has a backup day as well.
Mother's Day.
Totally.
And for me, every day is Mother's Day.
I celebrate Mother's Day.
My mother.
That wasn't meant to be dodgy.
I mean, my mother, my wife.
So is it too much? Is the
mum being unreasonable? The internet
thinks so. But I thought
who are we to comment?
Two men.
Two non-childbearing men.
Neither of us are mothers. Neither of us have carried a child
before. Two men who will never
push a child out of our downstairs.
So I thought we need to get a mum
on. So please welcome to the show your wonderful
mother, Tracey. Hi, Tracey.
Hi, how are you?
Hi, Mum. Hi, Matt.
How are you? I'm great, thank you.
Have you got a gin in hand?
Just poured one
because it's close to five.
Friday. Yeah, Friday my
day off. So, yeah, just poured it. And it's a to five. It'd be Friday. Yeah, Friday my day off. Fair enough.
So, yeah, just poured it.
Fair enough, Mum.
And it's a beautiful day down here.
The lake looks like glass.
You're in Queenstown, aren't you?
In Queenstown, yeah.
Maddy's got an important question
because we needed the opinion of a mum for this conversation.
So, Maddy's got an important question to ask you.
Mum, do you think that on my birthday you deserve a present?
No, why?
No, definitely not.
Well, there's a mum on the internet who says that on each of her kids' birthdays
they should buy her presents because she did the birthing and the carrying.
Oh, yeah, well, good point.
But no, no, you've got to celebrate.
You've got to celebrate your kids' birthdays.
And it gets harder the older they get.
But to me, it's a special day.
Why does it get harder?
Why does it get harder?
Well, because, you know, your kids move away from home
and they've got their own lives
and you're just trying to think of something.
You don't know what to get them up, do you?
No, no, sometimes I don't.
But you say I'm hard to buy for.
You're a very good gift giver, Mum.
And I think you and I have come to a mutual understanding
that if we can't figure it out, a bottle of gin will do the trick nicely.
Absolutely.
Or a voucher for a nice meal out next year.
Exactly.
But look, I would understand if you wanted something on my birthday trick nicely. Absolutely or a voucher for a nice meal out. Exactly.
I would understand if you wanted something on my birthday because
it wasn't easy with me, was it?
No, no. 36 hours, mate.
36 hours.
Yeah. It was that big head, eh?
It's only gotten bigger.
Eight pound ten. So yeah, it took a... Yeah. Hey, Maddie.
Eight pound ten.
So, yeah, it took a... Yeah, yeah, she wasn't easy.
Did Dad at least get you a bloody gift afterwards?
Good question.
Did people buy push presents in the 80s?
Oh, one of the few times I ever got flowers from your father.
Yeah, count them on one hand.
Three children.
All you had to do was push Maddie out of your vein.
That's all it took to get flowers.
Hey, Maddie's mum, we really appreciate you.
Enjoy your Friday dinner, okay?
Have a great afternoon and a lovely weekend.
And it's been a blessing ever since, right mum?
Yeah, absolutely.
Bree and Clint. Friday
Oki. And now
it's time for Bree and Clint's most
popular segment.
Friday Oki.
I love Friday-oke.
It's the best.
I listen every Friday.
I never miss Friday-oke.
Thanks, Brian Clint.
You've made my Friday again.
F-F-F-Friday-oke!
All real testimonials.
True.
Those that you heard just there.
I don't doubt it for a second.
People bloody love it.
And last week when we didn't do it,
because I was between co-hosts,
you know, I had a bit of Bree,
I had a bit of you,
there just wasn't time.
We didn't do it and we got messages saying,
you've got to make Matty do a Friday Okie.
So this week, Matty has stepped into the lion's den
and taken on a song of his choice.
What song have you selected for us for Friday Okie, Matty?
Well, I was, look, it was a hard decision to make,
but we talked about this guy earlier on in the week,
and it got me thinking about some of his absolute bangers,
and I thought this one would be a really good song
for Fridayoke.
Robbie Williams, Rock DJ.
I don't want to rock, rock DJ.
DJ.
And the stage is already going, rock, DJ. DJ.
Anastasia's already going off.
Wait.
It's got good juju, right, Anastasia, this song?
Got a lot of late night Saturday in town.
Yeah, Denny Dolan's vibes.
Yeah, the music video up on the PowerPoint.
The bog Irish bar in Christchurch vibes.
Oh, shut up.
Right?
So if you like this, Anastasia, just you wait.
As is tradition, those who choose the song go first.
Oh, okay.
So, Matty, we're about to hear your Robbie Williams rock DJ.
Any final messages you need to put out there?
I'm so sorry.
Let's do it.

Was it? Is that what you do?
Yeah, and the acoustics there sounded really good.
Ben, that was good, right?
It's one of the better ones we've had, yeah.
Also, how refreshing is it to have a different voice on Friday Oaky?
Yeah, one that's in tune is nice.
Oh, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
Okay, fine.
Challenge accepted.
That's Maddie's Rumi Williams.
You can't vote until you've heard them both, okay?

DJ.
Because you're keeping me up all night.
I mean, it gets quite high in some bits. It gets...
Like, deceivingly high.
Yeah, I wasn't prepared for it, I don't think.
I had it in my mind how it was going to go
and then all of a sudden you're hitting this high note.
I also don't remember putting on a British accent,
but it turns out that I did.
So does that count towards me or against me? If you
want to vote, I know 800 dials it in.
We'd love to get you on. We need five people to come
on and tell us who is the winner of Friday Okie.
Is it me, or is it Matty
in his debut performance that has the best
Robbie Williams this afternoon?
If you give us a bit of feedback too, you're in
to win yourself some free KFC this
afternoon. The best feedback will score that
and we will have a winner
of Friday Oki, Robbie Williams edition.
Free and Clint.
The results of Friday Oki.
Friday Oki!
You just heard two
very, very good renditions of
Robbie Williams, if we do say so ourselves.
Yeah. Like very good.
I feel like we gave it our
all. Yeah. Almost indistinguishable
From the real thing
If we do say so ourselves
Totally
Maddie sounded like this
When's it gonna stop
Stop DJ
Cause you're keeping me up all night
Oh good grunt at the end there
Thank you
I was actually quite proud of that
Yeah And mine No that's not my one This is my one Oh, good grunt at the end there. I was actually quite proud of that.
And mine.
No, that's not my one.
This is my one.
Oh, okay.
They had to choose that bit of my one for the replay.
Oh, come on.
We've got five votes and some feedback.
Brooklyn's here. Brooklyn, happy Friday
Hey lads, how you guys doing?
So good, Brooklyn
What did you think of our Friday Okie attempts this week?
It was brilliant, to be honest, I think
I thought that Matty actually surprised me
I found myself harmonising against him
Wow, okay
Yep
But I also found myself harmonising against him. Wow, okay. Yep.
But I also found myself laughing at Clint.
So what's more powerful, the harmonies or the laughter?
Who gets your vote?
Well, today I'm going with the harmonies. I'm going with Maddie.
Yes.
Well done, Maddie.
Thank you, Brooklyn.
Have a great weekend.
Pam, to your cure, Pam.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
How are you doing, Pam?
Yeah, I'm doing good.
I'm really torn because I love Maddie.
Yes.
But I'm going to have to vote you, Clint.
Because I was too good, right?
Oh, you had that gaunt thing in your voice.
You were sounding all sexy and all that sort of...
All sexy even?
Pam!
Okay, let me just get it clear, Pam, because my ego needs this.
No, no, no.
Mine was so good that you're willing to turn on Maddie that you love and vote for me.
Is that right?
Yeah, I hate to say it.
Oh, Pam, I thought we had something special.
But I love Maddie.
I love Maddie.
I thought we had something special, Pam.
Okay, thank you, Pam.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Sexy even.
Emma's here.
Hi, Emma.
Hi. Hi. Who are you voting for this afternoon even. Emma's here. Hi, Emma. Hi.
Hi.
Who are you voting for this afternoon, Maddie or me?
It was a bit of a struggle.
So normally I would go for you, Clint.
But I feel like Maddie just hit some of those deceivingly high notes.
Yes.
Perfectly.
So I'm going to have to go with Maddie today.
Thank you.
It was a pretty impressive debut performance, eh?
It really was.
It's something Mariah Carey practice I've been having over the years because she's very hot.
I'm three years deep and I still sound like that.
You've just walked in here.
Okay, thank you, Emma.
It's 2-1 to Maddie.
We've got two votes left.
Caitlin's here.
Happy Friday, Caitlin.
Hi.
Hi, happy Friday.
Who are you voting for?
Well, I really wanted to vote for Maddie because, you know,
beginners like and all that jazz.
But I think Clint really just put in a bit more effort.
That's my British accent, eh?
You just really tried.
Yeah, I did try.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Well, thank you, Caitlin.
You've taken us to deadlock
and there's one vote left.
G'day, Nick.
G'day, how's it going?

I'm a big fan of Robbie.
Yeah, it's a banger of a song, right?
Absolutely, yep.
You're going to decide the whole competition,
so do you have any feedback for us first?
Denial.
Yeah, no, it was pretty hard, but it was both pretty good.
Yeah.
But I would have to say that my vote goes to you, Clint.
Are you serious?
Yep. Oh, wow. I've got to be honest with vote goes to Euclid. Are you serious? Yep.
Oh, wow.
I was, I got to be honest with you,
I was not expecting that.
And I know how much you hate to lose, Matty.
I'm sorry.
But, you know, I'm happy for you.
Some songbirds you cannot cage.
I don't want to rock, rock DJ.
Just don't judge it off that bit there.
Hey, thanks, Nick.
Have a great Friday, man.
Have a great weekend.
No worries, you too.
Cheers.
You want a Friday Oki again next week?
Yeah.
Well, I need to redeem myself, clearly.
It's my choice next week.
I think I've got a bit of a Kylie Minogue vibe going on.
Love it.
Bree and Clint.
You okay after the Friday Oki?
You all right?
Have you settled into it?
Because you put on a brave face when we were on the radio.
Yeah, and then I said some terse words when we were in an ad break.
But it was close.
It was 3-2, you know?
Yeah.
I don't quite know what happened with your listeners there, but that's okay.
Well, you'll get another shot next week is the good thing.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger. I love when it's going well, it's our listeners.
And when it doesn't go your way, it's my listeners.
It's like when you're a parent, right?
Your child.
Your child is playing up.
Let's do a birthday banger.
The number one song on your 16th birthday, Daryl's first.

Just on the way

Good spot. Love it.
Great spot.
Good stuff. Okay, what's your birthday, Daryl?

Good, thanks.

Yeah, not too bad.
Perfect.
When's your birthday, Brogan?
8th of June, 1996.
All right, Brogan, you were 16 on the 8th of June, 2012,
and this was Topping the Charts.
Flowrider.
And Whistle.
It's got a great drop, this song.
Yeah.
Do you like it, Brogan?
Yeah, absolute churn.
I had a weird rumor that this song's not actually about a whistle.
Huh.
Have you heard that?
Uh, no.
No.
I mean, I haven't had it confirmed.
Right.
I just assumed it was about being a referee.
Blowing his whistle, yeah.
Well, it could be.
It could be literal.
Okay, that's a good birthday bang of Brogan.
Wait there.
We'll do one more for Adrian.
Hi, Adrian.
Hi, boys.
How you doing?
Good.
How are you doing?
Oh, mate. Good Friday. Looking forward to a? Good. How are you doing? Oh, mate.
Good Friday.
Looking forward to a good weekend.
Perfect.
What have you got planned?
Big plans?
Oh, let's just see what happens.
Roll the dice.
Roll the dice.
I love that.
Is there a bit of accent we can hear in there, Adrian?
Yes, mate.
I'm a pom.
Oh, yeah, from the UK.
Yeah, good stuff.
Yes, mate.
All right.
Good stuff.
Give us your birthday, and we'll figure out your birthday banger.
1st of February, 1988. All right, Adrian.. Give us your birthday and we'll figure out your birthday banger. 1st of February, 1988.
All right, Adrian, you might like this one.
You were 16 on the 1st of Feb 2004 and this is your birthday banger.
I don't know what it is that makes me feel like this.
I don't know who you are.
There you go.
You must be some kind of...
She's a Brit.
Jamelia?
Yeah, she's one of yours, Adrian.
Yeah, that's good. You like it? That's a good party starter. That's a good. Jamelia? Yeah, she's one of yours, Adrian.
Yeah, that's good.
You like it?
That's a good party starter.
That's a good party starter, yeah,
and that's all you want out of a birthday banger.
I know, right?
It was one of the original SingStar songs, I think.
Yes.
Yeah, that's where so many people know it from.
Okay, wait there.
We need to decide between Gaga, Poker Face,
Flo Rida, Wessel, and Jamelia, Superstar.
What is your gut telling you, Matty? It's so hard.
I think I'm, just
because I haven't heard it in a while, I'm going to go Superstar.
Jamelia. Really? I would have
thought you were Gaga all day.
I do love it, but I just typecast you.
I've assumed
too much. Jamelia, okay.
Do I agree, Jamelia? Oh, I've got
good feelings about that Flowrider song.
I'm going to split the vote today.
I'm going to go Flo Rida,
which means we'll go to Anastasia for a split vote.
Anastasia, what's the winner of Birthday Banger?
All three songs are up for grabs.
Without a question, it's Superstar.
There it is, everybody.
The winner of Birthday Banger for Adrian,
all the way from the UK.
Congratulations.
Have a great weekend, man.
Cheers, guys.
Have a good weekend.
You too.
Roll the dice.
There you go.
Straight out of SingStar, your birthday banger on ZM.
Bree and Clint with Maddie.
Bree and Clint.
We're giving away a car, everybody.
Win a Honda Jazz with ZM's Bree and Clint.
Maddie's given away
lots of cars in his time,
but I was saying to Bree,
this is how you know
when you've made it
as a radio show.
They give you a new car
to give away.
What an amazing thing
to do for someone.
Yeah, right?
Yeah.
It's a life-changing prize.
It can get you out
of a sticky situation
and this car in particular
is very cool.
It's a Honda Jazz
EHEV Lux.
It's a hybrid.
It can run on fully petrol. It's electric. It does everything you need It's a hybrid It can run on fully petrol It's electric
It does everything you need it to do
It'll save you money on gas
And Jay, you can win it potentially
If you choose boot or bonnet this afternoon
Oh yay
What do you want to do, Jay?
Do you want to go boot or bonnet?
I will go boot
Boot?
What's your logic there?
Why are you putting your name on the boot of the Honda Jazz?
Just because that's my gut feeling.
Your gut says boot, so we put your name on the boot.
You've got to trust your gut.
Well done, Jay.
We'll put you in the draw for that.
You could be taking home a brand new Honda Jazz.
Have a great weekend.
Thank you.
So we're picking one name from the boot One name from the bonnet
And spinning a wheel
Yep
And one of those two people
Will win the car
That's it
If it lands on boot
The boot person gets it
If it's bonnet
The bonnet person gets it
So I
Text
Message
Like a lot of people
Do you?
I'm so unique in this way
Whoa you're special
Yeah I use my phone
To text and message people
Tell us more
About how you use this wonderful new technology
So here's what you do, you get your phone
There's this thing called a keyboard
You use it, you type letters
And you make words and then you send it off to people
Amazing
But one thing always gets me
Because I do have a little bit of a potty mouth
Might surprise people
Yeah, clean cut Matty McLean from the TV with a man du jour.
Yeah.
I'll say swear words.
Will you, Jazz?
Yeah.
If words?
If words.
Is words?
Yeah, is words.
C words?
The occasional C word.
B words?
Oh, yeah.
I'll give you a B word from time to time.
Okay, yeah.
But if words in particular really trip me up when I'm using my phone.
Yep.
Because it often...
Oh, the duck?
Duck.
Ducking.
You ducking idiot.
Ducker.
Oh, duck me.
Yeah.
I know what you're talking about.
And often you're in a hurry, especially if you're writing furious swear words like that. You're in a hurry Especially if you're writing
Furious swear words like that
You're in a frenzy
You're coming in hot
I saw something that said once
When has anybody ever intended to write
Duck you
It doesn't even make grammatical sense
Exactly, but you're in a hurry
You send it off and then you go
Oh duck!
I said duck
Takes the heat out of whatever you're in a hurry, you send it off, and then you go, oh, duck. Yeah. I said duck.
I said duck.
Takes the heat out of whatever you're saying, right?
But I have found a brilliant iPhone hack.
Mm-hmm.
So if you go into your contacts.
Right.
And add a contact in lowercase that has the name duck with an F.
Right.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Got it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Ducking, ducked, ducker.
Put all those words as the title.
Yeah.
Yeah. What do you need?
Duck, ducking, ducker.
Ducked.
Oh, ducked.
Yeah.
That's a good one too.
Yeah.
All in lowercase, then your iPhone will recognize that you use that word right okay and so then it adds
it to your vocabulary yes and so then when you actually go to use to type the word in your phone
it will go oh oh i know what you mean this is his friend yeah yeah called duck ducking duck
ducker yeah just don't add a phone number to. Because if you ever get a phone call from duck ducking mother ducker with Fs,
your partner's going to go,
um,
who's that?
Yeah.
Uh,
hang on a second.
Who are you ducking?
Uh,
wait one ducking minute.
Who's calling you?
And then you go,
shut the duck up.
Play.
Zed Ames, Brad Clint. On Insta, Facebook, TikTok, and live weekdays Who's calling you? And then you go, shut the duck up.
