ZM's Bree and Clint, thanks to KFC.

Oh my God.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
It's Friday.

Speaker 4 (00:14):
Make some noise for the original ZM's Bree and Clint.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the Bree and Clint
show on a Friday.

Speaker 5 (00:25):
Happy Friday, guys. Trap in because there's going to be tears.
It's going to be sad and we're going to bring
down the mood.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Oh, tears of sadness for Ella leaving.

Speaker 5 (00:34):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
It's her last day.

Speaker 5 (00:36):
But in between those bits.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Tears of joy because we have five sombre double passes
to give away today. It is the sombre ticket blitz
on the Brian Clint show this afternoon.

Speaker 5 (00:46):
It is huge. If you are after some sombre tickets,
this is the place to get them here this afternoon.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
The first sombre double pass will be given away in
the next 20 minutes.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Your activator is going to play.

Speaker 5 (00:57):
So you don't have to wait long. So stick around
for that. Also, tradie versus lady, last game of the week.
The ladies three behind. So it is pretty close. 50
bucks is up for grabs.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Big show.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Big show.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
We're going to sing sombre at five o'clock.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
We're going to sing a farewell to Ella on the
way out.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Oh, are we?

Speaker 5 (01:20):
Oh, did you not get the notes?

Speaker 6 (01:23):
Is this why you haven't been turning up to practice?

Speaker 5 (01:26):
You're meant to be the baritone.

Speaker 7 (01:28):
I'll wing it.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Ella, are you feeling okay?

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, I'm okay.

Speaker 6 (01:32):
I had the nervous poops.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
I'm good.

Speaker 6 (01:36):
I'm just, my tummy's sore.

Speaker 8 (01:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
We're going to miss that.

Speaker 8 (01:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
We're going to miss that.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, I'm fine.

Speaker 9 (01:43):
All right.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Well, fun show on the way.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Stick with us, guys, and we'll kick off with tradie
versus lady. 0800 dial ZM if you'd like to represent
the tradies or the ladies.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Let's do it.

Speaker 10 (01:53):
Play ZM's Bree and Clint. It's Tradie versus Lady.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
Three, two, one, let's go. Last game of the week
of Tradie versus Lady. The Tradie's sitting on 76. Ladies,
they're not far behind on 73.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Our lady is in Hamilton. She is 35 and she
does art. Does that make you an artiste, Dominique?

Speaker 9 (02:17):
Yes. Yes, I suppose so.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
What type of art are we talking?

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Watercolour?

Speaker 8 (02:25):
I paint, but I also do tangerines and stuff too.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
What's your favourite thing to draw?

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Kiwiana stuff, New Zealand birds and stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
All right, you're taking on our tradie from Auckland.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
He's 41 and he has awesome step-sons.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Welcome to the show, Charles.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
G'day, Charles.

Speaker 7 (02:45):
How's it going?

Speaker 5 (02:46):
Good, thank you, mate. Give him a shout out, the boys.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
What's up, Riley, Ari and Remy.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
Hey, boys.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
G'day, lads.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Good to have you guys on. Charles, your buzzer is tradie. Dominique,
your buzzer is lady.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
First to three correct answers gets 50 bucks cash from KFC, guys.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Good luck.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Here we go.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
Question number one. The NZ Warriors play their first finals
match this weekend against the Dolphins. How many NRL grand
finals have the Warriors been a part of?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yes, Charles.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yes.

Speaker 9 (03:16):
Two.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Two.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
It is two. Unfortunately, they lost both. We move on
to question two, one to the tradies. Tomorrow will mark
how many years since the 9-11 attacks? Tradies.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yes, Charles.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
15. Oh, no.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Dominique?

Speaker 8 (03:37):
Yeah, 16.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
It's actually 25. 25 years. Really? 25 years?

Speaker 3 (03:44):
2001 were the 9-11 attacks.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
We move on.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Time moves fast.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Yeah, crazy. We move on to question three. Buzz in
when you can tell me who sings this.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Dominique.

Speaker 7 (03:58):
Olivia Deen.

Speaker 5 (03:59):
It is Olivia Deen. We are one apiece in this game.
Question number five. What does NBA stand for? Charles just
got in there. National Basketball Association. That is on the money.
Well done. Two to the tradies, one to the ladies.
We move on to question six. In which musical film

(04:20):
did Ariana Grande star alongside... Yes, Dominique?

Speaker 4 (04:25):
Wicked.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
It is Wicked. Well done.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Well done.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
We move on to the tie-break question. Question number seven.
Buzz in when you can tell me what the F
in KFC stands for.

Speaker 9 (04:38):
Pretty.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Charles, so quick on the money.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
Fried.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Fried's correct.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, we won.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
You won, boys. Well done.

Speaker 9 (04:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Good game, guys. Dominic, you almost got there.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
No worries. Unlucky Dominic. Charles and the boys, can we
get an up the waz?

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Up the waz!

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Up the waz!

Speaker 9 (05:04):
He's got cancer, boys.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
ZM's Brie and Clint podcast.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
The world was on the edge of their seats for
a Big Spice Girls announcement overnight, weren't they? They posted...
Brie's furious. She can't even speak.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
I'm so angry.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
They posted... No one asked them to.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
They posted.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
The Spice Girls account.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
The official Spice Girls Instagram account.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
None of them individually posted, did they?

Speaker 4 (05:31):
No.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
Did we check that? I'm pretty sure they didn't.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
They didn't. But it was the iconic staircase from the
Wannabe music video, and it just said, it had a
date on it, which was today. It was like something's coming.
It worked out to be 1am New Zealand time.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
And all of us went ballistic thinking a world tour,
it's happening, or something else big is happening.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
I know people who set an alarm and got up
at 1am to see the announcement live.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
It was a big deal.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
And the Splice Girls have officially announced....

Speaker 3 (06:04):
A CD singles collection.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
A new 14-disc box set on CD with coloured vinyl
to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their album, Spice.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
It might be the most lacklustre 30th anniversary ever. That
Spice Girls fans could have hoped for. Like, are they
serious or are they toying with us?

Speaker 3 (06:30):
It's more than disappointing. It's infuriating.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
My wife, Lucy, who's a huge Spice Girls fan, my
wife said. Was she furious?

Speaker 3 (06:38):
She said, I hope they come with a CD player.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
Yeah, where are we going to listen to that? My
car doesn't even have a CD player anymore.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's the ultimate build-ups because you've got people excited. And
when brands or acts do this, they are, there's a
term for this in the industry actually, they're burning social capital.
They're burning goodwill because they used your longing for Spice
Girls News, real Spice Girls News to get you excited.
And what did they give you?

Speaker 3 (07:06):
A shit sandwich.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
I said yesterday, I was like, if that's what it is.
Because Claudia called it. Producer Claudia, she called it. She
said she saw it in the URL, didn't you, Claude?

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, I big brained it. There was an email newsletter
and I clicked through and it literally said, like, yeah,
box set singles.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
They forgot to hide it from the HTTP URL.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
I'm so angry at them.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Some of the top comments on the post.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
What was the vibe in the comments section?

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Guys, this could have been an email.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Ain't that the truth.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Well, this is not what we want, what we really,
really want.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
So negotiating with my husband about the price cap of
what I could spend on Spice Girls tickets was for nothing.
Imagine you got in a fight with your partner and
you're like, well, you spent all that money going to
the Football World Cup.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
This is my Football World Cup.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
I hate you.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
You never let me do anything.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
And then there's not even a tour.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
You're like, well. That was all for nothing.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
And my favourite comment is the Spice Girls make a
big deal out of announcing a 14-disc CD set anniversary
of their album Spice.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Do these women know that we have Spotify?

Speaker 5 (08:27):
We've got them all. I've still got a lot of
my Spice Girls CDs.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
And I never listen to them because it's inconvenient. Exactly.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Exactly. Exactly. Come on.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
It's garbage.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
It's so bad. Anyway, it's either we have to wait
or you Spice Girls fans just have to accept that
it's never going to happen. Because if it didn't happen.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
For the 30th anniversary.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
It ain't never going to happen.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
It's probably never going to happen.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
God, we just need to have another Olympic Games in London.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
That reunited the girls.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
They all got back together for that. Or an Olympic
Games in Dubai. Because they'll have enough money to be
able to afford the Spice Girls. Yep. And we all
know Victoria Beckham, she loved money.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
And Dubai.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Dean, what's this.

Speaker 10 (09:16):
We hear about Harry Styles maybe retiring?

Speaker 9 (09:26):
Okay, everyone is in a total flap today. Let me
just give you all, everyone calm down if you're at work.
Don't quit.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
I will not calm down, Dean. Don't quit.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
We already had the awful Spice Girls announcement and now this.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
So here's what happened.

Speaker 9 (09:42):
So he's basically done a post saying how he's added
extra shows to his global tour in 2027. Two of
those shows are going to be at the Hollywood Bowl
with Kylie Minogue opening.

Speaker 7 (09:52):
I am absolutely.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
He gets it. He just gets it, doesn't he?

Speaker 9 (09:56):
Amazing. He just gets it. He just gets it. So
he's actually said in his post, like basically, you know,
it's been more tours. I love playing music. I love
being with you all. That's why I've added some dates
for next year. And basically, I don't know what the
future holds is what he basically said to kind of paraphrase.
He said, after that, I don't know what comes next
for me, but I know that I'm excited to find out. Now,
everyone is reading between the lines. They're like, does this

(10:18):
mean he's retiring? What does that mean? I genuinely do not.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Believe that he's retiring.

Speaker 9 (10:24):
I think that he'll be exhausted after the tour, as
they always are. But they get a taste. it's not
an easy thing to just leave behind when you're on
stage being screamed with millions of fans and all that love.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
So I don't think he's retiring.

Speaker 9 (10:37):
I think he's just being.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, that's emotional terrorism, that language, though. I don't know
what's next for me. It makes it sound like he
has a terminal disease, you know?

Speaker 5 (10:45):
Yeah, I don't know what's next for me, but I'm
excited to find out what the next chapter brings.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
It's very ominous. Also, I saw a post, Dean, because
you mentioned that he has Kylie Minogue opening for him.
I saw someone say, this is like Beyonce opening for Sombra.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
It should be the other way around.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
Pretty iconic show.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
You get two for one icons. I mean, you've got
to be happy with that. It's like when Lady Gaga
opened for the Pussycat Dolls.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
Everyone still talks about that to this day, don't they?

Speaker 3 (11:15):
No disrespect to Harry.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
We love Harry, obviously. But it's Kylie freaking Minogue. With
some goddamn respect.

Speaker 9 (11:21):
Who's opening for Bruno when he comes to New Zealand?

Speaker 5 (11:24):
That's a great question.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
No, it's Anderson. Paak, and Anderson.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Paak' s doing a DJ set, and then he's coming out
and doing, because he's got a DJ persona, and then
he comes out and does Silk Sonic with Bruno Mars.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
It's going to be huge.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
That's the tea with Dean McCarthy. He's our Hollywood correspondent.

Speaker 5 (11:44):
Big weekend for you and I, Clint. We are competing
in our second annual charity football match.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (11:52):
On Sunday to raise money for MS Auckland. And a
part of the event is getting sponsors to sponsor you
to compete in the match. And we've already done a couple.
We've got some amazing sponsors. But there's one more that
we couldn't let pass by who wanted to chip in,

(12:13):
donate to MS Auckland. And that was you, Lisa. Lisa.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Hi, Bree.

Speaker 6 (12:18):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Good.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
Thank you, mate. Look, you text us and you were like,
I'd love to donate. I'd love to get a jingle
made for my business, which is called Clothes by Portia.
And essentially, you handmade all the clothes on your website
for dogs, right?

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (12:38):
Yeah, all clothes and bandanas and bows and I do
custom orders. I've done tuxedos, I've done tutus, I've done
ballerina dresses.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Dog tuxedos.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
Amazing.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Now, Portia is the dog, isn't it, Portia?

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
So clothes by Portia, in my mind, Portia's sitting at
a sewing machine.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Making the clothes.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Same, yeah.

Speaker 8 (12:56):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 (12:57):
Yeah, she's really talented. Yeah, good.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
That's a really ambidextrous dog. Just wanted to check that, yeah.

Speaker 9 (13:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
It's a fantastic business. It's all handmade right here in
New Zealand, and we couldn't let the opportunity pass us
by without making you a jingle as well, Lisa.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (13:13):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Are you ready for this?

Speaker 2 (13:15):
This is a custom jingle for Clothes by Portia. I
don't know what your stock levels are like yesterday. Next
best thing, the pillow people yesterday, they had a crazy
rush on their website after their jingle played on ZM.
So we're just checking. Are you ready, Lace?

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Well, I am, but Portia's just recovering from cruciate surgery,
so I don't know if she'll be after so much.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
Oh, you're going to have to step in for her, Lace.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
I will.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
I have to do some work.

Speaker 9 (13:39):
For a change.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Well, without further ado, Lisa, here it is, the official
Bree and Clint jingle for Clothes by Portia.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
Is your dog tired of walking around the neighbourhood looking, well, naked?
Look at that dog's nipples! Closed by Portia has you,
or should I say your dog, covered. A wide range
of bandanas, sweaters, coats, all handmade right here in NZ.
But don't just take our word for it. Here's some
testimonies from our happy customers. My bum has never been

(14:12):
set before.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Closed by Portia. Forget about it. They're positively perfect.

Speaker 9 (14:18):
Clothes by Porsche, give your dog a little flair. They've
got sweaters, coats and hoodies that cover their dairy hair.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Clothes by Porsche, make.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
All the doggies fizz.

Speaker 5 (14:30):
Now the other pups are dressing them up.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Whoa, that dog's got rizz.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
ClothesbyPorsche.co.nz There you go, Lise. What do you reckon? That
was bloody brilliant.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Whoa, that dog's got rizz.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
Hey, Lise, thank you so much for donating. It is
such a great cause, MS Auckland. Your business is what
it's all about. You're a local business. You do it
all yourself. And we're happy to give you airtime on
the Bree and Clint show.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
You're amazing.

Speaker 9 (15:05):
Thanks, guys.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
And good luck for Sunday.

Speaker 9 (15:06):
You're going to kill it.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
If it doesn't kill us. We're going to need all
the luck we can get.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Can you run me through your skincare routine?

Speaker 9 (15:13):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
What are you putting on your face?

Speaker 3 (15:20):
So in the shower, I use a cleanser.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
And then I use a moisturizer.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
And if it's the morning, if I've got some, I
use a sunscreen moisturizer.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Good.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
And if it's nighttime, I use a non-sunscreen moisturizer.

Speaker 5 (15:39):
God, that's elaborate. How do you remember all those steps?

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Hey, at least you've got.

Speaker 9 (15:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Two steps. It's a two-stepper, isn't it?

Speaker 5 (15:50):
It's better than nothing.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
There's data out today that according to industry researchers, 68%
of Gen Z men use regular facial skincare products.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Okay. That's good.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
Which is up from 2022, it was 42%. of men,
and now it's up to 68%.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
So that includes just using moisturiser, right? Just washing your
face and putting some moisturiser on.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
It's interesting. I believe it does, but they reckon a
lot of Gen Z men have multiple steps in their
skincare routine.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Do I have multiple? I do have multiple steps, don't I?

Speaker 2 (16:31):
You do, you have two. Because I've got two. You've
got two.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
If you only washed your face, then you wouldn't, you'd
have one. Thank God you put on a moisturiser.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
I'm all for it. I think Go for it. If
the men want to get into the skincare, why not?
It makes you feel nice.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
What am I missing from my skincare routine, Brie?

Speaker 5 (16:50):
You could add a vitamin C to brighten your skin up.

Speaker 9 (16:54):
Why?

Speaker 2 (16:55):
What's wrong with my skin?

Speaker 4 (16:55):
No, nothing.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
It's great.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Are you saying I look dull?

Speaker 5 (17:01):
Well, no. Okay. You don't look dull. Moisturizer, you already
do that, which is good. An eye cream.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
Wouldn't go astray.

Speaker 9 (17:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
Which is just not, you know, kind of it's because
the skin under your eyes is very sensitive.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
You know, you don't want to put a normal kind
of moisturiser.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
You put an eye cream there. You could go some
retinol if you want to, you know, deal with those
fine lines.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Fine?

Speaker 3 (17:28):
You reckon they're fine?

Speaker 9 (17:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I reckon they're deeply entrenched lines. I reckon you've got
like fine lines.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
I think your skin's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
You've got beautiful skin.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Thanks, Brie.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
That'd be a five-step skincare routine.

Speaker 5 (17:36):
Yeah, nothing too crazy. But I mean, I think you're doing,
if you had to really bare bones it, I feel
like you're doing the correct ones.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
If there's any men's skincare companies listening right now, can
I give you my million dollar idea?

Speaker 5 (17:51):
What is the idea?

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Two in one, cleanser, moisturiser.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Okay. If you can reduce the steps for the fellas,
they're going to do it. If you can find me
a cleanser that is also my moisturizer and I only
have to do one. You know what you should do?

Speaker 3 (18:06):
And put some vitamin C in there.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
Here is my hot tip for the men. If you're
not moisturizing, then you need to get an oil-based cleanser
because a cleanser draws all of the moisture out of
your skin because you're like when you're washing your skin.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Obviously, yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
If you get an oil-based cleanser, you're kind of moisturizing.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Do you know what I've got?

Speaker 9 (18:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
A charcoal cleanser.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
I do.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
It's black.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Okay. It's black.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
And why did you go for that one?

Speaker 2 (18:39):
It just sounded like it would work better. Okay.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
So the power of charcoal. You're talking about drawing out impurities.

Speaker 5 (18:45):
Do you use it on your teeth as well?

Speaker 9 (18:46):
No.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
I haven't seen that, though.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
I could never bring myself to do that.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
Oh, no.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
But put it on your face, though.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Easy.

Speaker 5 (18:53):
My recommendation from a New Zealand company, it's called Aleph.
Get the cleanser because it's an oil base and you'll
feel moisturised if you only want to do one step.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yeah, right. And my recommendation.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
The charcoal one?

Speaker 9 (19:06):
Don't.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Just use regular barbecue charcoal, okay?

Speaker 7 (19:09):
It is.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
It has to be a charcoal cleanser.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
I'm glad you clarified that.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
What if I could get a charcoal moisturizer?

Speaker 5 (19:16):
I'm sure they would make it for people like you.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Men are so simple. You just need to simplify the process.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Just put it all into one bottle. Put it all
in one.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
And hope for the best.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (19:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
If we can wash our hair with it too and
use it as a body wash, boom. Great.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Chuck it in the gym bag.

Speaker 5 (19:33):
I've come up with it.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
I know.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
I know what we're doing.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
Shampoo.

Speaker 9 (19:37):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
Conditioner.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Uh-huh.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
Cleanser.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Uh-huh. Body wash.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Moisturiser.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Moisturiser.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeah, that's what we need.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
All in one. Deodorant.

Speaker 5 (19:47):
If you can get the deodorant in there, even better.

Speaker 9 (19:52):
Toothpaste.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Oh, toothpaste.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Add that in and now we're really cooking. Instantly. Men
are so dumb, though. Like, we are so dumb. Do
you remember when Lynx put out that body wash that
they said could cure hangovers? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
It was called, I saw someone had a bottle of it.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
They've got like an archive of old Lynx body washes
because that's something that a man would have. And he's
got it. It's called Lynx Anti-Hangover. It's like radioactive green.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
And I bought it.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Is this the one that is like hot?

Speaker 3 (20:27):
No, it's like.

Speaker 5 (20:28):
Because that one you should not put on your private.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
It's very fragrant. I would describe the scent as invigorating. Okay.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Now, that was the bit that was meant to cure
your hangover.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
Right.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
You're meant to like experience it in the shower and
be like, whew, I'm back.

Speaker 5 (20:42):
I am awake.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
I am awake.

Speaker 5 (20:44):
I'm ready to go round to. Okay, if we can
add that in to our seven in one.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
It's an eight in one now, yeah. Hangover. It's a
billion dollar idea. Electrolyte. Boom. Creatine. Protein.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
Protein.

Speaker 11 (20:57):
Protein.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Protein moisturiser.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
As you're washing your hair and moisturising.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
We're going to be so fricking rich.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
This is unbelievable.

Speaker 9 (21:04):
This is unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
The ZM Podcast Network.

Speaker 5 (21:08):
I came across some interesting audio that I think we
need to implement today on our show. Take a listen.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
I dare you to walk up to your boss and
ask them to leave work and go drink margaritas.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
What's the worst that could happen? I mean, I have
to kind of agree with him. What is the worst
that could happen?

Speaker 3 (21:29):
The worst is he could say no.

Speaker 5 (21:31):
They say no, and then we all move on with
our lives.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Unless you have a history of, like, being drunk on
the job, in which case the worst could be strike three.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
Yeah, written morning. Yeah. Okay, well, look, in that circumstance,
let's not do that. What we have done before the
show is we have each at different times decided to
call our boss, Marty, and ask him the simple question,
Can we leave early? Because we want to drink margaritas.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Claudia was first.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Marty speaking. Hey, Marty.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
It's Claudia.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
How are you going? Oh, good, thank you.

Speaker 7 (22:12):
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (22:13):
I just want to check. Is it okay if I
leave early today?

Speaker 7 (22:16):
Yeah, aren't you guys doing Ella's thing?

Speaker 6 (22:19):
Yeah, I just wanted to go drink margaritas.

Speaker 5 (22:20):
Is that okay?

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Oh, yeah, sure.

Speaker 7 (22:22):
I guess if Friday's calling, what kind of early are
we talking?

Speaker 5 (22:25):
Oh, like, just like a little bit early.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
Like quarter to seven or.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
Oh, like a little bit earlier than that, probably. I
just want to drink margaritas, you know?

Speaker 7 (22:35):
Okay, sure. Should I come in and see you?

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Oh, yeah, you could. No, it's fine. Thanks, Marty. All right,
good to catch up. See you, bye. Should I come
in and see you?

Speaker 5 (22:46):
40 is like, oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
No, please don't.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
He was good about it, though.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
He was all right, yeah. Then Brie decided to call
about 45 seconds later. Marty speaking. Hi, Marty, it's Brie.

Speaker 5 (23:00):
Oh, g'day, Brie.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
How are you? Good, Marty.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
Hey, quick one for you. Don't want to take up
too much of your time. Do you mind if I
leave early today?

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Is that with Claudia, maybe?

Speaker 5 (23:11):
Oh, is Claudia leaving early?

Speaker 7 (23:13):
Well, she's just kind of talking about margaritas. Is there
something going on in that studio?

Speaker 5 (23:18):
Great, crazy coincidence. I haven't spoken to Claudia, but I
was wanting to leave early because I just want to
go drink margaritas.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Is that all good with you?

Speaker 7 (23:26):
Oh, I guess if I'm allowing Claudia to do it,
then it would be unfair not to allow you to
do it.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
You're a legend, mate.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
I love how you fare across the board.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
I'll see you on Monday.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 7 (23:36):
See you, Marty, bye.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
I backed him into a corner. You can't be dishing
out one rule for one staff member and not the other.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Then the special last day girl, producer Ella, called Marty.

Speaker 7 (23:52):
Hello, Marty speaking.

Speaker 6 (23:54):
Hey, Marty, do you have a quick second?

Speaker 7 (23:56):
Yeah, what's going on, Ella?

Speaker 4 (23:58):
I just would like to leave early today. I'm sorry
to ask.

Speaker 7 (24:02):
Well, it's your last day, so I guess, yeah, just, yeah,
who am I to hold you back?

Speaker 6 (24:06):
Oh, thank you.

Speaker 5 (24:07):
I really want margaritas.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
I know that's quite unprofessional, but they're calling my name.

Speaker 7 (24:12):
Yeah, I always had my suspicion that you kind of
had a secret love for margaritas. So I think Claudia
and Bray might be doing a similar thing. So maybe
just connect with them and see if, yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Are they?

Speaker 6 (24:23):
I got to go.

Speaker 9 (24:24):
Sorry.

Speaker 6 (24:24):
Sorry, I got to go. Thank you.

Speaker 7 (24:25):
All right.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
We know it's unprofessional, but I want margaritas.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
What was that?

Speaker 6 (24:31):
I can say that word, professional.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
It's like you're in Baby Voice asking for your margaritas.

Speaker 6 (24:36):
Can I please have some margaritas?

Speaker 2 (24:37):
One person left. Hello, Marty speaking. Marty, it's Clint.

Speaker 8 (24:45):
Oh, g'day, mate. How you doing?

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Not good. I can't come in. Oh, shit.

Speaker 7 (24:49):
Well, I kind of need you at work because I've
just had Claudia.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
I've had seven margaritas.

Speaker 7 (24:58):
Oh, bad news, though.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
I feel like it's better that I'm not there. I
know you need me. I don't think I can do
it today.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Who's going to do the show? It sounds like a
you problem. I'll see you on Monday, okay?

Speaker 7 (25:10):
No, I've let everyone go, damn it. All right, well,
I'll get in there and do the show.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Another margarita, please.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Not sure if you guys noticed, but Brie suggested we
do it. We got four yeses, guys.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
And that is a binding contract. We have the audio
to prove it. How early is early? I think we
could leave now.

Speaker 7 (25:31):
Should we go now?

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Why don't we do these somber tickets and then piss off?

Speaker 5 (25:35):
That's a great idea.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Let's give away some somber tickets. If you are still
at your desk, pick up that phone.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Pick it up.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Make the call.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Make the call to the boss. Let us know how
you go. The question is, can I leave early? And
then if they ask why, because I want to drink margaritas.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
I want margaritas. Duh. It's simple.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
It's ZM's Brie and Clint podcast.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
It's also Ella's last day. Let's play the One Second
Song Challenge.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
What the hell? Ella, on your last day, would you
like to play the One Second Song Challenge?

Speaker 5 (26:11):
Huh, yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Who do you want to play against, Brie or me?

Speaker 6 (26:14):
I want to play against Clint.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Clint. Ooh, okay.

Speaker 5 (26:17):
Yeah, you, Clinty. Take him down, Ella.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
All right.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Well, we've got a teammate for you. You'll be playing
with Christina. Hi, Christina.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
Hi, Christina. Hi, how are you?

Speaker 3 (26:26):
You originally had Bree.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Now you have Ella playing with you to win you
the KFC.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
How do you feel about that?

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Oh, awesome.

Speaker 9 (26:33):
Good.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
I think you should.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
I reckon Ella's going to be far better than me, Christina.

Speaker 6 (26:37):
I'll try my best.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
We'll see how we go, eh?

Speaker 4 (26:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
And Rosie and I will be working together.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Hi, Rosie. Kia ora. Kia ora.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
Claudia, you're in charge.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Sure am.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Christina, you're going to be stoked because the theme today
is Ella's favourite artist.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Shut up.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
So the way.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
This game works is I'm going to start a song
right from the beginning. I need you to buzz in
and tell me the name of that artist and the
name of their song.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
First team to three points takes home the win.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Ella's favourite artist. I've already got a couple of them.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
In my mind.

Speaker 9 (27:08):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
Sure you do. Ella and Clint, you guys are going first.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Why do you think you're so mysterious, Ella?

Speaker 6 (27:14):
You have no idea.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Ripping throat out, Ella.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
Clint, I wish you luck.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (27:18):
Clint and Ella, this is for you.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
Clint.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
Oh, brutal. Clint.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Slowly, young Missy.

Speaker 8 (27:26):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Sorry.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
Just do what I do.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
So it was Forza Habba.

Speaker 5 (27:32):
And just buzz in before the.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Song even starts.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
It's okay.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
Just let him get one. That's right. Christina, you've got
to pull up the team here.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
That was rude of me.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
Yeah, that was unnecessary.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
That's fine. Sorry.

Speaker 6 (27:46):
I don't want you to be going easy.

Speaker 8 (27:48):
No.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
We don't do pity points around here. That is one
point for Team Clint. So, Christina and Rosie, this is
for you.

Speaker 5 (27:57):
Christina.

Speaker 11 (27:58):
Christina.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (28:01):
I missed the name of the song.

Speaker 5 (28:02):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
What was it? Blank Space. Yes. Christina.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
All right.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Can we call you X, Dina?

Speaker 5 (28:11):
Because they're dirty.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
All right. Back to me and you, Ella.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
Yeah, ready.

Speaker 5 (28:19):
Ella. Wait, take a guess.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
What is it?

Speaker 6 (28:23):
Birds of a Feather, Billie Eilish.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
It literally is.

Speaker 5 (28:27):
I can't even be mad about that.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
What the hell?

Speaker 2 (28:33):
That was crazy. I knew it was going to be
in there somewhere, but that was unreal. Took a stab. Whoa,
am I magic?

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Am I God?

Speaker 5 (28:49):
Well, you might be.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Okay, that is two points for Team Ella. So, Christina,
if you get this one, you will.

Speaker 6 (28:55):
Take home the win. So, Rosie, you've got to be
hot on your buzzer, okay?

Speaker 5 (28:59):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Okay, here it is.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Christina.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
Yes!

Speaker 6 (29:06):
Christina for the win.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles. It's not Watermelon Sugar, but
it is Harry Styles.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Rosie, you can steal it.

Speaker 5 (29:14):
Adore you.

Speaker 6 (29:15):
Adore you.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Can I change it? No, not until Rosie has a guess.

Speaker 9 (29:20):
American Girls by Harry Styles. No.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
Back to Christina.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Christina.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Adore you.

Speaker 8 (29:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
She's done it.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
You've been producer Ella.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
A lovely send-off win.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Well done, Christina. You get 15 KMs each.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Dollars.

Speaker 8 (29:40):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Rosie, we were cooked. As soon as Ella got that
one blind, we were cooked.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
That was crazy. Call back and play next week, Rosie.
You need a redemption round, I feel.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
That was unbelievable. Ella, well done.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
Go on, Ella, see if you can guess the last one.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
Who else do I like?

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Sombra? Did she ruin it? It's not Sombra.

Speaker 8 (30:05):
You are.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
I'll guess her last one blind. Olivia Rodrigo.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
Can I have a guess?

Speaker 8 (30:11):
Sure.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
Is it, oh, no, you've already put Billie Eilish in there.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
I was going to say, is it Charli XCX? These
are all great answers.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
None of these.

Speaker 6 (30:22):
Who else do I like?

Speaker 5 (30:23):
You girls, wait. We can figure this out.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
The other Sombra.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
Oh, dumb.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Oh, this is more of a letdown than when he
brought Benny out.

Speaker 5 (30:43):
We need to talk about Stella Lefty. Too much. This
is her, obviously.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Her song, Boston.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
She has been in the headlines so many times in
the past couple of weeks. Constantly, for all the wrong reasons, unfortunately. First,
there was a story that went around about her being
a nepo baby because her dad's a billionaire.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (31:09):
Which doesn't really connect, but I understand what people were saying.
People didn't realise that her dad was the founder of Groupon.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
Oh, okay. You can become a billionaire from launching Groupon?

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Apparently.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Groupon is like... Grab one here in New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Isn't it?

Speaker 5 (31:26):
Yeah, it's like coupons for different things that you can
go and experience and whatnot. Anyway, the big story that
is gaining traction now, though, is that a lot of
her songs sound very similar to a lot of other artists' songs.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Right, okay. I'm aware of the big one.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
Yes, which is obviously her song, Boston.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
Boston.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
Sounding like Noah Kahn's Stick Season. So much so that
Noah Kahn's people reached out to her people and was like, hey,
this song sounds very similar to Noah Kahn's song and
she gave him a writing credit.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
She did. She had to.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
What's the word?

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Retrospectively credit Noah Khan for the song.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
People are now noticing other similarities.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
That can happen, by the way. That can happen.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
You can be influenced by a song subliminally, subconsciously. I
feel like some of your record labels should say something.

Speaker 5 (32:29):
Well, here's the thing is that she said, oh, I
didn't take inspiration from Noah Khan's stick season, but then
had posted- very publicly about how Noah Khan's Stick Season
was her favourite song ever.

Speaker 9 (32:44):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 5 (32:44):
And she covered the song and, like, posted about it.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:48):
So, anyway, kind of shot herself in the foot there.
Let's talk about some of the other similarities people are
now putting two and two together with the Stella Lefty song.
So there's this song of hers called Misery.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
And he said, you're in love with me, you're.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
In love with Misery, Misery. For me, I've never heard
that song, but I was like, God, that sounds like
something I've heard.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, it's familiar, this song.

Speaker 5 (33:15):
Isn't it?

Speaker 3 (33:15):
But I've never heard this song.

Speaker 5 (33:16):
And it might be familiar to this song, A Million
Dreams from the Greatest Showman.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Crazy.

Speaker 5 (33:23):
Oh, wow. It's almost identical.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
It's almost produced the same way.

Speaker 5 (33:37):
Let's do Stella Lefty's song again.

Speaker 9 (33:40):
Whoa.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Okay, that's outrageous. It's bad, isn't it?

Speaker 5 (33:50):
That's a real bad one.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (33:52):
Stella Lefty, her other song, 7-Eleven.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
Ring any bells?

Speaker 9 (34:03):
No.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
What if I play this?

Speaker 9 (34:04):
Ooh. Oh.

Speaker 8 (34:17):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (34:19):
Quite similar. These are all the Stella Lefty.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
And almost similar in theming too.

Speaker 5 (34:25):
Quite, yes, with the lyrics and the content of the song.
These are all the Stella Lefty songs that people are
saying sound like other songs.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
There's more. Oh, there's more.

Speaker 5 (34:34):
Stella Lefty's song, Why Wouldn't We. People are saying strikes
a resemblance to the Blake Shelton song, I'll Name the Dogs.

Speaker 8 (34:53):
Ah, yep.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
Yeah, that's... I'm not a musical person.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
But even we can hear it.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
But even I can hear that. So if you know
about music, then.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
One more. This is the one that has most recently
come out. It's the Stella Lefty song, Summer You Were Mine.

Speaker 11 (35:21):
People are.

Speaker 5 (35:28):
Saying, reminds them of the chicks. There's your trouble. There's
your trouble.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
There's your trouble.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
See, I'm double with the wrong one.

Speaker 6 (35:39):
And you can't see I love you.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
So this is.

Speaker 5 (35:44):
This is what people are saying, right, because obviously all
of us sitting here can hear it. We can hear
the similarities in all of those songs. Yeah. People are
now saying, is it because she's using AI?

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Oh, and AI has to draw on something that already exists. Exactly.

Speaker 5 (36:00):
So is that the reason why there is so many
similarities in her songs?

Speaker 3 (36:05):
If that's the case, that's even worse.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
I think, than.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Blatantly copying. Yeah, than at least going, well, I just
copied the artists I love. I think it's worse to
put it into AI. Someone else texted and said, guys,
did you know she's being called Stella Thefty? I did
see that.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
Stella Thefty.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
She's going to have to say something.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Someone's going to have to issue some kind of statement
or at least copy a statement that someone else has
put out before.

Speaker 5 (36:35):
I'm sure AI can write one.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
No, that's mean. That's mean.

Speaker 5 (36:40):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
That Greatest Showman one is outrageous.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
One more time. The Greatest Showman.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Okay, so sell empty misery. The Greatest Showman.

Speaker 5 (36:51):
I mean, not going to lie. I quite like both.

Speaker 10 (37:00):
Play ZDM's Bree and Clint.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Ladies and gentlemen, Rian Clintz, Friday Okie.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
The lowline of your Friday returns.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
It's Friday-okey where we cover a song and you pick
the winner. Today, to celebrate our Somba ticket blitz, we're
doing Somba and we have a double pass to Somba
up for grabs if you vote. That's correct.

Speaker 5 (37:28):
You can either text through 9696 or you can call
through on 0800 dial ZN, but.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
You have to hear them first. You can't vote until
you hear them, okay? The song we will be covering
is Somba's Homewrecker. And what we have learned is Somba's
signature sound, it's all harmonies.

Speaker 5 (37:53):
It's like, I'm not even exaggerating. I reckon there's seven
harmonies in this song.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
It's outrageous.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
Maybe more.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
But you better believe we gave it a go.

Speaker 5 (38:01):
I didn't even know that you could do seven types
of harmonies.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
I'll rock you off for who's going first, okay? Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. All right.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
I'll go first, then you'll hear Breeze, and then if
you vote, you could score free Samba tickets. Can I
go on the record?

Speaker 5 (38:20):
I reckon you're going to have a ripper this week.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Oh, okay. I have a feeling.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Okay.

Speaker 9 (38:25):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
I'll take that confidence, and I'll run with it. Here's
my Samba.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (38:35):
How wrong was I?

Speaker 3 (38:39):
You hit like a drunk.

Speaker 11 (38:40):
Cigarette The feeling amplified By saying things we never meant
Oh yeah, you leave me filled with regret At the
end of the night I always find myself wondering why
Oh yeah, do you got plans for life? Cause I

(39:01):
don't wanna just romance tonight, I want I don't want
to talk down on you, lover.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
I just know I could be better, be better, be better.

Speaker 5 (39:40):
That was you and you did it and you sang it.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Yeah, and it's over. That was yours. Yeah, it's me.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
Someone said home wrecker, more like ear wrecker.

Speaker 5 (39:51):
Someone, I like the text that just goes, good God.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
Harmonies did Clint dirty.

Speaker 5 (39:59):
Harmonies are hard, man. And if that's how yours sound,
I have no hope.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Why does Clint sound like a child on SingStar? All right,
that's mine.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
All right, mine is out there now.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
This is not going to be good. Now you need
to hear Breeze.

Speaker 5 (40:16):
I am so sorry in advance.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
I'm quite excited.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Especially because mine's done now. Yeah, because it'll take the
heat off of yours.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Okay, you can't vote for sure until you've heard Breeze.
And here it comes.

Speaker 5 (40:29):
Oh, yeah. You hit like a drunk cigarette. The feeling
amplified by saying things we never meant.

Speaker 6 (40:48):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
You leave me filled with regret at the end of
the night. I always find myself wondering why.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Oh, yeah. Do you got plans for life?

Speaker 5 (41:02):
Cause I don't want to just romance tonight.

Speaker 9 (41:05):
In another life oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (41:09):
With rhythm there is rhyme with you there always can
be I I wanna see you in another life ooh
I don't wanna talk down on your lover I don't
wanna be a home wrecker I just know I can
be better be.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Better be better I don't wanna.

Speaker 5 (41:28):
Talk down on your lover I don't wanna be a
broken wrecker.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
I just know I can be better be better Well done.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
Ella, you're finishing up today. Are you going to miss this?
Are you going to miss this each week?

Speaker 2 (41:45):
It's your favourite part of the week, isn't it? I'm
always going to miss this.

Speaker 6 (41:48):
I'm going to tune in as Alyssa.

Speaker 5 (41:49):
Holy moly.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
It is crazy how every week it gets worse.

Speaker 9 (41:54):
No.

Speaker 5 (41:55):
I feel like we do have peaks and troughs. Yeah,
you do. This week was a trough.

Speaker 6 (42:00):
I mean, Brie, you've got my vote. I'll just say it.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
What?

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Thanks, Ella.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
I'll take it. That's a win for me. So is
it Brie hit like a drunk cigarette soaked in meths? Literally,
I was not even singing that part.

Speaker 5 (42:18):
It was like, you hit like a drunk cigarette.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
He sounds like the Bee Gees crossed with a dying
flat cat.

Speaker 5 (42:25):
That is a compliment. Half Bee Gees?

Speaker 2 (42:27):
I'll take it.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
We need your votes. 0800 dials it in.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
There needs to be five people brave enough to phone
through and vote. And if you vote on the text
machine as well, that will also put you in the
draw for our free Sombra double pass on our Sombra
ticket blitz day.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
It sure will. 0800 dials it in right now.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
Someone said, Bree, that was almost palpable.

Speaker 5 (42:46):
Someone goes, I vote for Sombra. I'll take that.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
We're back with a winner straight after Somba, the way
it's meant to sound on ZM with Brie and Clint.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
ZM's Brie and Clint podcast.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
Five double passes to Somba. That's what we're giving away
today on the Brie and Clint show. One of them
is going to go to someone who voted in our
Somba Friday. Okay.

Speaker 9 (43:13):
Gee!

Speaker 2 (43:13):
And man, it was good.

Speaker 5 (43:14):
We need to reward people after sitting through that.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
The song was the reward, okay? The performance was the reward.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
You people have been treated.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Uh-huh.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
You don't understand.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
To a musical smack.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
I understand how lucky you guys are. We did Homewrecker.
Mine sounded like this.

Speaker 5 (43:30):
I don't want to talk down on your lover.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
I don't want to.

Speaker 5 (43:34):
Be a homewrecker.

Speaker 3 (43:36):
And yes, those are all my harmonies in the background.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
You did them all. It's not AI. And Bree sounded
like this. It's like there's spirits in the background. They're
meant to be harmonies, but it sounds like haunting ghosts.
Both songs definitely sound haunted. Yeah. So we need five
people to help us pick the winner of Friday Okie

(44:00):
and maybe score themselves a double pass to see Somba
live at Spark Arena.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
Emily has the first vote.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Hi, Emily.

Speaker 8 (44:08):
Hey.

Speaker 5 (44:09):
Are you a Samba fan? Oh, I'm a massive Samba fan.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Still a fan after those?

Speaker 5 (44:15):
Maybe even more so.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Okay, good.

Speaker 5 (44:17):
Because you can appreciate how good he is.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Yeah, and you'll know, by comparison, you'll know who did
the better job, Em.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Who are you going to vote for?

Speaker 4 (44:24):
I'm actually voting for Clint because me and my five
kids were all having such a laugh listening to it.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Holy smokes. You and the five kids get it. I
knew you guys got it.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
Like, I knew you knew.

Speaker 10 (44:37):
Yeah, we did know.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
I know you know. Your kids get comedy, Emily.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
They get it. Thanks, M10. Let's go to Lisa on
our 800 dials at M.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
Hi, Lise.

Speaker 5 (44:48):
Hey, how are you guys?

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Good, thanks.

Speaker 5 (44:49):
What are your thoughts this week, Lise?

Speaker 9 (44:52):
Look, guys, it was so tough. Really, really tough.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
Tough to listen to.

Speaker 9 (44:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (44:58):
Me, my one-year-old was humming along to Bree, so it's
just got to go to Bree this week.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
I will take it, Lise. Thank you very much. We're
tied up.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
Jordan has vote number three. Hi, Jordan.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
Hi, Jordan.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
Hey, guys.

Speaker 5 (45:10):
What do you reckon, Jordan? Any feedback for us? I
think it was really tough this week, but I'm going
to have to go with Clint. Oh.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
I feel like it was potatoes, potatoes, or both potatoes,
to be honest.

Speaker 8 (45:24):
There was some scary harmonies in there for sure.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Big potato energy. Thank you, Jordan. I really appreciate that.
It's 2-1. Is it going to tie up or is
it all done? Fran has a vote. Hi, Fran.

Speaker 6 (45:37):
Hiya.

Speaker 5 (45:39):
What do you reckon, Fran? Are you going to hand
Clint the win?

Speaker 3 (45:43):
No, I think it's going to go to you.

Speaker 9 (45:44):
I think both of them had great harmonies, but I
just thought you had just a little something, something in there.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Hey, I appreciate you keeping me in it.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
Great harmonies, you reckon, Fran?

Speaker 2 (45:55):
Have you had your hearing tested recently? No, maybe I
should look at it. Do you stick things in your ears, Fran?

Speaker 3 (46:04):
Thank you. We appreciate you. We're tied up.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
We're going to a tiebreaker, and Holly has all of
the power. Hi, Holly. Hi, Holly.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Hello.

Speaker 5 (46:13):
Now, I'm sorry, Clint.

Speaker 8 (46:14):
I really do think the producer did you dirty on
that one.

Speaker 5 (46:18):
It sounded like it wasn't you singing. Yeah, it was
definitely the producer's fault.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
So what you're saying, Holly, is you could see through
the production and hear the raw talent in my voice,
and that's why you're going to vote for me, right?

Speaker 7 (46:30):
Not quite.

Speaker 8 (46:31):
The reason I'm going to pick Brie.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Is because I didn't know that the.

Speaker 5 (46:35):
Lyrics were drunk cigarette until.

Speaker 8 (46:37):
I heard you sing them.

Speaker 5 (46:39):
Is it because I spoke them and I didn't sing them?

Speaker 2 (46:43):
It took a thick Queensland accent for you to be
able to understand Samba.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
Just to be clear, you're voting for Brie?

Speaker 5 (46:49):
I'm voting for Brie. Hey, Holly, thank you very much.
And for voting in Friday, Oki, you have won a
double pass to see Somba.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Well done.

Speaker 9 (47:02):
Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 5 (47:03):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
Spark Arena in April, you're going to be there. You
got someone in mind to take with you already?

Speaker 5 (47:09):
Oh, maybe my son.

Speaker 8 (47:11):
He really wants to go.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
Oh, yeah, that'd be great.

Speaker 5 (47:13):
Oh, that'd be so cool.

Speaker 11 (47:14):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Did he hear our Sombas?

Speaker 8 (47:17):
He didn't, but I will go and I wonder if
I can play them back on iTunes.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Yeah, you should. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Because then he'll really appreciate the real thing.

Speaker 5 (47:24):
Then he won't want to go. Let's go. Birthday banger.
Number one songs when you turn 16. You call us,
tell us your birthday. We tell you your birthday banger.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
Kayla's first.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Hi, Kayla.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
Happy Friday.

Speaker 5 (47:44):
Hi, Kayla.

Speaker 8 (47:45):
Hi.

Speaker 5 (47:46):
Plans for the weekend, Kayla?

Speaker 9 (47:50):
I am going to a boot sale with my granny.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
Why does that sound like a made-up story?

Speaker 2 (48:00):
It's like you were telling the police a fake story.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
I was at home with my granny.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Definitely not doing anything illegal.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
All right, Dodgy, Kayla, what's your date of birth?

Speaker 5 (48:14):
The 2nd of June, 2002. All right, that means you
were 16, Kayla, in 2018. And on that day, this
was number one. Drake, nice for what?

Speaker 2 (48:23):
What do you reckon, Kayla?

Speaker 8 (48:32):
I like that song.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (48:33):
That's when the world was loving a bit of Drake.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
Yeah, people were into Drake in 2018.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Oh, yeah. Big time.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
Okay, wait there. We'll do one for Molly. Hi, Molly.

Speaker 9 (48:42):
Hi, Molly.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Hi.

Speaker 5 (48:43):
I heard it's your birthday today, Molly.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Well, you heard correctly.

Speaker 5 (48:48):
It sure is. What's plans for dinner?

Speaker 8 (48:52):
Just going down to my parents just for a wee
cheeky takeaway, I think.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
What kind of takeaway do you think you guys will get?

Speaker 8 (48:59):
Probably just Friday sessionships.

Speaker 5 (49:00):
Oh, yeah, that sounds good.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
That sounds nice. Sounds lovely.

Speaker 9 (49:04):
Molly?

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Mole, the birthday girl, what year were you born?

Speaker 8 (49:06):
2000.

Speaker 5 (49:07):
All right, that means you were 16, Molly, in the
year 2016. And on your 16th birthday, this was number one.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
So baby, pull me closer in the backseat of your car.
Chainsmokers and Halsey, Closer. What do you reckon?

Speaker 3 (49:26):
You like it?

Speaker 2 (49:27):
I do.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
That song was definitely all the rage.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
It was huge.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Massive.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Ten years old today, this song.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
Is it?

Speaker 9 (49:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
Well, number one 10 years ago today.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait there.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
We've got another birthday girl on the phone. Kia ora, Piki.

Speaker 5 (49:44):
Hi, Piki.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
Kia ora.

Speaker 9 (49:45):
Kia ora.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
Another 9-11 baby.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (49:49):
What are you doing for dinner?

Speaker 9 (49:51):
We're probably doing the same with Molly, doing the takeout,
but maybe Indian.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
We got one!

Speaker 5 (50:02):
Let's go! Oh, Piki, you know what we wanted and
you gave it to us.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
You're not just doing that because of us, are you, Piki?

Speaker 2 (50:12):
No. Oh, mate. I had no idea.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
You weren't aware of the birthday curry phenomenon?

Speaker 9 (50:19):
No.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
Or phenomenon, as we like to say.

Speaker 5 (50:21):
Phenomenon.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
Brilliant.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Oh, you've made our day on your birthday, Peggy. Now,
let's do your birthday banger. What year were you born?
I was 1974.

Speaker 9 (50:32):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (50:33):
Anything from here is a bonus, Peggy, but you were
16 in 1990, and we've done our calculations.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Here's your birthday banger. Shut down.

Speaker 5 (50:43):
Blaze the story.

Speaker 4 (50:46):
Legend.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
Bon Jovi.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
Jon Bon Jovi.

Speaker 9 (50:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Bon Jon Jovi.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Are you a fan, Piki?

Speaker 9 (50:54):
Well, yeah, I'm new here at R & B, but
that one rocked.

Speaker 3 (50:59):
What a throwback from 1990. All right, Piki, the birthday girl.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Wait there, we've got to choose between the Chainsmokers, Drake
and Bon Jovi. Drake.

Speaker 5 (51:11):
Drake.

Speaker 9 (51:12):
Drake.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
Drake.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
Kayla, you've just won birthday banger. Tell Nan we said hi.

Speaker 5 (51:20):
And have a great weekend. Wink, wink with Nan.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
If that is who you're hanging out with.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
We find out.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
She's actually passed away. She doesn't even have a name anymore.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
Kayla's doing a huge drug deal this weekend.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
So if you see Kayla, you know what she's up to.
Watch out. From 2018, here's Drake on Zidane, Brie and Clint.
Something for y'all to cut up to, you know.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
Zidane's Brie and Clint.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
I've said everyone off in here.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
You did!

Speaker 2 (51:52):
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. It just crept up.
We didn't even get started. Oh, okay.

Speaker 5 (51:59):
I hate this part. I hate it.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
In this job, from time to time, you lose people
who are very important to.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
You, effectively. We've had to do it a couple of
times in this job.

Speaker 5 (52:11):
And it gets harder every time, I feel.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
One of those people is our producer, Ella, who is
finishing up with us today on the show. Hi, Ella.

Speaker 4 (52:19):
Hey. Sorry.

Speaker 6 (52:22):
Oh, we haven't even started, have we?

Speaker 9 (52:24):
Oh, fuck.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
Ella started with us on this show four years ago. Yeah.
She came to ZM as an intern. She was the
world's first secret soundkeeper to live on site because it
was in the middle of the COVID lockdown and so
we had her living in a box.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
Outside the studio.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
For the secret sound.

Speaker 5 (52:44):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
And it sucked for you. It was a hard job
and you did it and you've just gone from strength
to strength from there.

Speaker 9 (52:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
And unfortunately, you've got two good and now you've got
a better job, so you're leaving.

Speaker 6 (52:55):
Better, I don't, yeah, I'm excited.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
But it's really hard to leave this.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
A new opportunity.

Speaker 5 (52:59):
It is time for the next chapter in your life. Oh, shit,
don't go.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
No, please.

Speaker 5 (53:05):
Let's do the other stuff. I've written my stuff down
or else I'm.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Just going to do it. We'll do the other stuff.

Speaker 3 (53:09):
Ella's got some things she would like to say. Yeah,
I wrote a speech.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
I think you say what you want to say and
then Claudia's got something to play. Why is Claudia sitting
out there?

Speaker 9 (53:17):
What?

Speaker 5 (53:17):
Claudia, you weirdo, come sit in here with the rest
of us. I don't want to be in here.

Speaker 4 (53:21):
God.

Speaker 5 (53:22):
It's like the family's all in the living room and
Claudia's sitting in the dining room. God's sake.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
Okay, Ella, the floor is yours, okay?

Speaker 4 (53:31):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (53:32):
Well, I've written a little thing.

Speaker 9 (53:33):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (53:34):
I'll just read it and try not to cry.

Speaker 5 (53:35):
So.

Speaker 4 (53:36):
Thank you, guys, for the last four years, for being
patient with me as I came in green-eyed, freshly 21
years old. Thank you for not kicking me out when
I air-checked you guys on air.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
On the podcast a couple weeks in. It was the
first week.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
Oh, no, this first day she gave us feedback.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
That was really bad of me.

Speaker 5 (53:52):
It was pretty brutal feedback, too. Oh, we don't need
to talk about it.

Speaker 4 (53:55):
But, no, I really feel like your first job after
uni is, like, such a formative time. And so five
years at ZDM and four years with you guys means
It's just been an absolute dream come true.

Speaker 6 (54:06):
I've learned so much.

Speaker 4 (54:07):
You've allowed me to, I guess, learn and make mistakes.
I've learned to share my own opinions and to have
my own voice and.

Speaker 6 (54:15):
To critically think. We joke, I'm a little bit dumb.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
I didn't know a magpie was a bird, but anyway.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
You do now. I do now.

Speaker 4 (54:23):
And then I just wanted to say as well, Bree,
I just love you. I love your humour. I love
your creativity, your ability to not only make people feel
like to laugh, but to feel so.

Speaker 6 (54:33):
Comfortable in themselves. And you just have that special connection
with people. And I instantly.

Speaker 4 (54:38):
bonded with you straight away and that was the biggest
quality I saw in you people see you on TV
and on the radio and then you're just like a
genuinely cool person in real life and a friend and
I'm so honoured to call you that me too Clint
I'm not gonna lie When I first started working here,
I was a bit scared of you. But it turns out,

(55:01):
I think I was intimidated from that mana you just ooze.

Speaker 6 (55:04):
You hold yourself so well.

Speaker 5 (55:05):
You are so strong in everything you do.

Speaker 4 (55:12):
From being a parent to a friend to your job,
you know, not everyone can do.

Speaker 6 (55:17):
What you do. You do the buttons, but you're also
telling a story. You're also reading text.

Speaker 4 (55:21):
You're trying to make it funny all at once and
in an appropriate amount of time, right?

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Before it's like songs.

Speaker 5 (55:26):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (55:27):
Yeah, you nail it. And I just love seeing you
be a dad. I don't know, something about it. I
love hearing about it.

Speaker 6 (55:32):
And it just, it is a real joy to come
to work and hear that. That's enough. I know you
hate those.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
Yeah, they'll do.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Thanks, Ella.

Speaker 6 (55:39):
And then quickly, Claudia, this is a really hard goodbye.
We've sat next to each other literally for the last
four years.

Speaker 5 (55:45):
Every day.

Speaker 6 (55:46):
Every day.

Speaker 4 (55:47):
We've been highs, there's been lows, there's been everything in between,
but you've become one of my closest friends.

Speaker 6 (55:52):
I've learned so much from you.

Speaker 4 (55:54):
I'll miss our daily laughs and our chats and my
burping and farting in the room and.

Speaker 6 (55:58):
You yelling at me.

Speaker 4 (56:00):
But it's genuinely, I feel like really sad, but it's
not a goodbye.

Speaker 6 (56:05):
It's literally, I'll see you soon.

Speaker 4 (56:07):
You know, it's going to be different, but we're like
literally besties.

Speaker 6 (56:10):
It's going to be okay. But yeah, thanks guys. I
love everyone here.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
Claudia has put something together for your last day. And
what are we calling this? Ella's greatest hits?

Speaker 3 (56:20):
Yeah, basically, yeah. The life and times of Ella.

Speaker 8 (56:24):
Hi, Ella.

Speaker 9 (56:25):
Hey, Ella.

Speaker 3 (56:26):
Hey, Ella.

Speaker 8 (56:27):
Hey, Ella.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
Hey, Ella. Hi, Ella.

Speaker 5 (56:30):
Hey, Ella. Oi, poo's on you.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
You little flea.

Speaker 6 (56:34):
Goodness, he's up my arse.

Speaker 4 (56:37):
I'm going to get you, you mother.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
Ella.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
Oh, no, this is going to stump me.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
I love this song.

Speaker 6 (56:44):
Viva La Dita, Viva La Dita, Coldplay.

Speaker 8 (56:46):
No, no, no.

Speaker 4 (56:49):
No way, not Viva La Vida.

Speaker 5 (56:52):
Viva La Vida.

Speaker 8 (56:53):
No!

Speaker 5 (56:53):
You get it?

Speaker 3 (56:54):
This is it.

Speaker 5 (56:55):
Viva La Viva.

Speaker 9 (56:57):
She is Mr.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
Fantasy's long-lost daughter.

Speaker 5 (56:59):
Hello!

Speaker 6 (57:00):
Oh my gosh, Daddy Fantasy!

Speaker 1 (57:02):
Me, your long-lost daughter.

Speaker 6 (57:04):
If me and you can, like, reunite and meet.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
I think I'm Olive.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
You think you're Olive?

Speaker 5 (57:10):
Yeah. Clint's got two.

Speaker 6 (57:11):
Oh my goodness, he's up my arse.

Speaker 4 (57:13):
No!

Speaker 6 (57:14):
Oh, my gosh, Soundkeeper Els.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
Intern Soundkeeper Els. What's that short for?

Speaker 1 (57:18):
Internship?

Speaker 3 (57:19):
No, your name.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
Ella, did you know that one?

Speaker 6 (57:22):
I knew people live in Egypt. No, Ryan's uncle lives
in Dubai.

Speaker 3 (57:25):
That's not Egypt.

Speaker 5 (57:25):
That's nowhere near Egypt. Ella, are you there? Yeah, I'm there.

Speaker 9 (57:29):
Hi.

Speaker 6 (57:29):
You're in the chocolate aisle?

Speaker 4 (57:32):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
Looks to be quite a shock surprise.

Speaker 4 (57:34):
Instead of going up in all I can see is
a sale on a Whittaker's chocolate.

Speaker 6 (57:38):
Me and myself and I are gobsmacked.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
You're a worm.

Speaker 5 (57:41):
Shut up.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
Chewbacca in the producer's booth today.

Speaker 5 (57:50):
I can actually do a good one. Do you want
to hear it?

Speaker 9 (57:53):
Yeah, go on.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
Do you know what character we're talking about?

Speaker 2 (57:58):
You're telling me that our mid-twenties producer Ella may currently
have a bigger brain than me.

Speaker 5 (58:03):
I would say that's probably right, yeah.

Speaker 6 (58:04):
It's obvious, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (58:06):
My witch, my charisma.

Speaker 5 (58:10):
Thank you. You never asked my name.

Speaker 6 (58:17):
That's my first swear word either. Am I going to
get fired?

Speaker 3 (58:19):
Doriel, beep it.

Speaker 5 (58:21):
You and me, Clint, producer Claude, producer Ella, we're a
tight-knit fam.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
We'll miss you.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
And scene. That was good.

Speaker 4 (58:29):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
And scene.

Speaker 5 (58:31):
That's so, it sums up, like it sums up how
close our team is. I've written a little something to
send you off, Ella, and if you will just let
me read this out for you. When Ella first started,
she was a kid and somehow over the years we've
had the absolute privilege of watching that kid grow into

(58:54):
this incredibly strong, kind, talented woman. And we couldn't be
prouder of you and the person that you've grown into.
You had this real special energy about you. You have
the ability to walk into a room and somehow make
it feel lighter.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
You lift people up.

Speaker 5 (59:13):
You make people feel seen, heard, valued, and loved.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
And I don't think you will even.

Speaker 5 (59:19):
Realize that you do that for people, but you've done
that especially for me on more than one occasion. So
I'm jealous of the next people that get to have
you in their lives and And I just want to
raise a toast here to Ella, to everything that you've
achieved here, everything you are, and everything that's still ahead
of you. We love you.

Speaker 6 (59:37):
That's really special.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Thank you, Bree.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
We love you and we're going to miss you, Ella.

Speaker 6 (59:41):
We're going to miss you.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Oh, my God. We're going to miss you guys. Not
this song. No more tears.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
No more tears. We're going to the pub.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
Yeah, more margaritas. No more tears.

Speaker 10 (59:54):
Play ZM's Breein Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok
