Kia ora, tēnā koutou katoa, so I'm glad to be here.

Glate?

Oh fuck, I've definitely had two powers, my bad.

I don't normally drink, but like if any time I've got to hang out with Clint, I'm like, better have a couple, break that sobriety.

So it's wonderful to be here tonight, and one of the most common things I got was, what the fuck, you're doing a ZM event?

And I was like, yeah babe, I'll go on whatever radio station plugs my podcast a little bit extra, listen to it.

And because none of the radio stations in the company I work for promote it, yay for ZM!

The other thing that I wanted to be here tonight was because Clint actually texted me when I wrapped up my almost 20-year career having to work with a bunch of white men on the edge.

And he texted me and he said, ''Good idea resigning, babe.

''You're turning 40 next year.

''You can't be over 40 when you're on a CHR radio station ''like ZM and the Edge.''

And I said, you know what, Clint, you're right.

You can't be over 40 as a woman on the radio talking to the kids.

But you know what?

ZM is proof you can be almost 50.

What up, Fletcher Maud?

Now, I think that that's... I checked, I checked before this.

They're not here, are they?

Damn it.
