A listener production Wow, wow, wow. We are so, I mean me in particular, so excited for KK this episode. KK is my favourite episode of the whole year. I love my friends, I love the spirit it brings and I cannot wait to get stuck in and give each other our gifts this year stick around because this one it's gonna be a fun one You listen to the Honeydollar Podcast The greatest fucking podcast in the world Bro, Mike and Zach and sometimes the guests

We hope you enjoy the motherfucking podcast Welcome, welcome, welcome Just give me the mic I am, the mic is in front of me You want me to do the whole podcast like this where I'm peeking and shit? Clearly not, Mark. I've got great mic technique. You've started... I was in a fucking good mood.

Wow. And now you've put me in a... now I'm just... What can we do to cheer you up? Maybe Chris Green? Just a bit closer, a bit closer. Man, every fucking... So I tried to... I was ready to come back on board. Oh.

Did you not see that happening? The positive energy coming back. I couldn't hear it. Why don't you start us off then? Alrighty. Fuck wit. Well it's a special time. You're not even...

You've gone back further for... Oh you know what? You're right away from the mic, Brodom. He's trying to trigger you, Mark. Don't let him trigger you on your special Mark. He is, he is. He's getting me. He knows that... Mark, he's pushing your button. It's a special day, Mark. Just ignore him.

And you know what? And you can't get me. You can't push my button. No, do the mic. Speak into the mic. See? I just blow it off. Whatever. Off my shoulder. Yeah, but your mic technique has been bad, so... It's a choice! It's a choice! Maybe you should listen.

I go, I think it's fun to be like, oh! You know, I think it adds a certain three-dimensionality. Welcome to Christmas Kringle. Oh, he is a bit off the mic, isn't he? Christmas Kringle. You're fucking off the mic. You're telling me I'm off the mic while you're off the mic? I was defending you and then you came for me.

I didn't come for you, I was just... You came for me, you said I'm bad at my mic technique. I never said that. I said maybe sometimes just, you know, think about it. And I said that's a choice. Ever since the Bert Kreischer, I try to add a three-dimensional message. Chris Kringle is a time of third year doing this beautiful tradition. If this was, if this tradition went to university, it didn't take any gap years and didn't fail

any subjects and was studying a three year course. It would be about to graduate. Yeah, it'd have a bachelor. It'd have a bachelor in Chris Kringle. And about, if it's going through uni today and it's doing arts degree, maybe $500,000. Oh, here he comes. Oh, here he comes. Oh, here he comes. Here he comes.

Always got to go on about the fucking Hex debt, mate. Always about the Hex debt. Yep, absolutely. I think it should be less. Always about the Hex debt. I think, you want to know my opinion? You want to know my opinion on Hex? Yeah, let's see.

And just on general things. Yeah. I reckon woke gone mad. Hex, Hex, there is woke gone mad. Woke mob gone mad. We haven't done 3AW, save it for 3AW. Save it. Save it for 3AW where the satire is clearer. Every year we get together, we do a secret Santa.

This year, we did things- Or KK. Or KK. We did things a little secret Santa this year, right? Or KK. Or KK. We did things a little bit differently this year. So different. Usually we do a automatic email situation where a computer decides who we will be buying gifts for. But this time we did it, we went a bit more traditional, we went more analog.

We wrote our names on a piece of paper. We drew them out of a hat But also the way you were doing it last year I think is fun is wrong in what way well you were like we never find out who gave our gifts to whom I Well, that's the whole idea of secrets. It's one way to play it Yeah, one play to play is shove fucking present at my ass What no that's not a way to play Kris Kringle. If someone plays it that way then it's a way to play. Well I have to apologise to my auntie.

But also that depends on the gift. If you're given say a spatula. We can move on. Right? Yeah. Don't stick that up your ass. A lot of actual words today already. Bachelor, spatula.

Already. How quick into this podcast. Yeah. And KK is spectacular. Yeah. I said actual. Actual. What? Yeah. And say acula. Whatever. I don't care, man. No, it's not your fault.

It's not your fault. I'm sorry. Because let's just get down to the brass tacks of it all. Is there a tacks on brass? There would be, yeah. As soon as you said that, I mean, as soon as you said it, I was like, all right, I was coming in with like, because Broden did it, I thought, yeah, I'll embrace this sort of ...

You know, it's... ... fad-ive vibe, that's the bit. And then I thought, no, shut it down, I won't do that. And then as soon as you said brass tacks, I then genuinely wanted to interrupt and be like, what? Where did that come from? Do you know it's not tacks as in taxable income, it's tacks, T-A-C-K-S? No.

Brass tacks, yeah. Can you tell us more? The meaning of brass tacks is the details of immediate practical importance used in phrases to get down brass tacks. Why? What's that? What does it mean? That made me more confused.

Let's get to the brass tacks. But what even is that word? Yeah, like tacks. I'm going to be honest with you. I just looked up brass tacks and said that's how you spell it in the Merriam- Did you know that? Did you know? Did you know this or did you? Is that why you googled it? Because you were like, I know this is wrong, but I need to be back.

No, I googled brass tacks with an X and it came up brass tacks 1863 in the media. Alright, because you said it like, I want to be clear. You said it like you fucking knew already. The way it came across was like... Too close man. Move from the mic. Get back from the mic. All of a sudden you get back from the mic. Oh I see, I see.

I see what your favourite mic technique is. What happened to Barb? When the heat's not on you. A stranger digs. What? A jingle bells, a jingle bells, a jingle bells. I believe this gift here is for one Zachary Van Leen. And I think it's important to note is because we've gone analogue, there was no wishlist,

so it was an extra challenge. It was an extra challenge. No wishlist. No wishlist. And what was it? Should we talk about the rules before I open this? Should we talk about the rules? What were the rules?

There was no wishlist. The rules are you're never allowed to know who got who what and you're not allowed to guess or say it out loud. The extra challenge this year of course is that we have to find the gift for them. We have to find the gift for them. We have to find the gift for them. I'm sorry I said challenge. I just, I tripped on my words and if I'm going to be made, if I'm going to get, you know.

A bit closer. I can't, the mic stuff's killing me. It's killing Dad and her. Hey, can I just ask, and were there other rules? $10 minimum? $10 minimum? No, maximum. Oh, maximum.

$10 maximum. $10 maximum. Let's be clear on this. What did everyone believe the pricing was? I knew it to be ten dollar maximum and I didn't go over. I know what it is. I promise you I didn't go over. This is my thing.

I care not for the minimum or maximum. I care about the person. Because for me, I think it's very easy to buy a good gift for someone. All you have to do is listen. Listen. It's all about listening to that. If you really... And what's important to listening, how do you make sure someone's listening?

You... What do you mean? How do you make sure? How do you... How's the best way to let someone hear you? Speak. Into? Is it about my mic technique?

A little bit, yeah. How much closer do you want me to be? I don't... It's... I feel like I'm at such a perfect... Is this about my mic technique? A little bit, yeah. How much Glossidy want me to be? I feel like I'm at such a perfect distance away from it. And so this is... He's not moving left to right. Like I can't even fathom. I can't even...

It's perfect. It's all in my fucking head now, so now I don't know... Like it's fucking me up and I don't want to... You've really fucked me today Bro's... You've really fucked me. Today, Broden. You've really fucked me. You've fucked my... my attitude and my joy for this. And like... I started this tradition and now fucking...

It's something that I just don't wanna... All over this mic shit which is just not important. It's not. It's not important. It's not. On a podcast. It's not... It's... It's important if I'm doing this. And it's important if I'm doing this. But if I'm here, it's not important. It's not. On a podcast. It's not. It's important if I'm doing this.

But if I'm here, it's fine. And to fucking bring it up on KK of all days, of all days, my favourite day, a tradition I started. It's fucked me right off. Zach's turn. I just think it's a little rich coming from him after he took swipes at my mic technique. I was joking. I was jumping in on a little joke and then I let it go. Yeah, okay.

Yeah. Well, for me it's a joke. I wish I had the power to have you as my person and to have given you a book on microphone technique. I had good with that as an ending to this B. Yeah, it would have been real fucking funny. Now, who has what I believe that gift is for you? I believe Zach, that gift is for you.

Um, what else do we have? I want to misspelt my name. Whoever it was misspelt my name. Oh, they spelt it. ZAC. How do they spell it? We go one by one though, don't we Mark? We have They spell it we go one by one though, don't we mark this what we do but we can hand out the gear Okay. All right, but it is all I wanted to say. I believe this one is for Tom oh that looks like a gift for Tom To get a good gift is easy. You just need to be a listener. You just need to listen.

Don't fucking open it yet, mate. That's very interesting. What do you need to be? It's incredible. A good listener. Perfect. Yeah, for, yeah, exactly. That's our network.

Oh, and Broden has been given, and Broden got his card. So what happened before we recorded this is that came in? Oh and this is from Mark! There was an envelope in this room. He said is this up for grabs? Can I grab this red envelope? Well, we don't- and then walked out of the room. The thing about KK is we don't know who our secret Santa We don't know who gave what to who. We don't know. I just feel like- and to speculate Ruins the whole fucking thing As a red herring I saw someone else had brought a red envelope already

Well, where's the one show me the one that you took out of the room before that's this one here Oh, yeah, there's another one. Yeah. Yeah fuck. He's clever. Yeah So this is my red envelope, I just saw that someone had made one for you and I was like, Whoa, hold up. Are these red envelopes up for Graeme? Yeah. And this is from last year. No, I reckon you're still short. And we still have our gifts scattered about from the previous game.

Cause we recorded them yesterday. We have the Kellogg's from the NutriGrain month. We have the Fedora hats from Big Thick Mark and the Ben one. We got the Nerf guns from Chris Kringle two years ago. Last year. We have my sandwich from this morning. We have the DVDs that I got, whoever I had last year. Me, it was me.

Cold Feet, the British series Cold Feet. And I can't wait to watch it. Fantails, Valentine's Day shit. Roses from Valentine's Day. Because we've recorded all of these in one day. In one day. Yeah. We did a year and a day.

We've looked the whole way around. Can I say, I just want to say one thing. I don't often check the Reddit. I don't try to read it too much because it can be a little, you know, all the platforms can be a little. Can be toxic. There was one person, I just have to address it. Can I just address one comment? It's Chris Kringle. I want to keep it positive. And dude, it's your podcast.

There was one comment. It's the Zach show. Well, no, I just mean in the sense that. Your plural. It's ours. It's yours. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And there was one comment on Reddit about us banking them a little while ago. It's ours, it's yours, it's yours. And there was one comment on Reddit about us banking them a little while ago. And there was one guy that was like, a presumed guy, I don't know, it was one person. And they were like, I can tell when they're banking them. And they're like, they've been banking them since this episode. And I just want to say, the magician never reveals his trick.

But because of your confidence and arrogance, I just want you to the magician never reveals his trick, but because of your confidence and arrogance, I just want you to know, listener, you were wrong. You were wrong. All right. So. That's weird. That's a brown paper bag. It's weird on Christmas to be doing that.

There's this one guy that was like, I'm over the bank of them. Because he was a bit like, it's gone downhill since the point. Irrelevant. It's the thing that people forget is that the podcast had never been good. And it's been banked from day one. It's been banked from fucking day one. Not once in our lives have we recorded it weekly. Once a week. Is it time to announce our bit?

Are you fucking insane? Hey, who's tape? Who are you? Zach's got a brown paper bag. I believe everyone has their gifts now. Yep. Are you fucking insane? Hey, who's tape? Zach's got a brown paper bag. I believe everyone has their gifts now. Yep. And yeah, harder this year.

No wish list. No wish list. Not that it's really played into- Or a fish list. No fish list either, but we've never had a fish list. We wouldn't need a fish list. Fishes cost more than $10. Do you know who would have one? Jiro. Pardon? Jiro would have a fish list. Jiro. Yeah, let's just open it. Is that a sushi guy? Oh. I was thinking of Jiro

dreams of cake or whatever it is. Jiro dreams of cake. Jiro dreams of cake. No no no Mark, it's Jiro dreams of cake. Is that the sequel? No that's just him on his off-face. Fuck I could go some cake. Well like him just going to a cake shop and he's fucking had a gut full of dreaming about fish. Oh well that dude's fish for work. I'm sure Jiro once had some cake. Yeah. He'd eat things other than fish. For sure. Rice. Yeah, rice. Egg. Can I open my present? Yes. Yes, you're going to be the first to open your gift.

Do you want me to narrate it as you open it? Oh, no, I can narrate it. Okay, we'll narrate it. Now, what's important is that nobody knows who gave what to who. Yep, nobody knows what. Don't say either. I genuinely don't know, except for Zach gave that one to Brad. I've just got to, no, not necessarily. I know, I figured it all out. But it's what, we're not saying it and we're not allowed to talk about it.

Now, Zach, would you like to open your gift from both? Firstly, I will just say, I want to describe the gift to the listener. Now, of course, the patrons at AuntyDonnaClub.com, they can see the video. But the listener, I need to describe it. It's a large brown paper bag with a flat bottom folded over on the top. My name is spelled with pen in the top corner. Z-A-C-K. And because, because people who don't pay for the Patreon, usually get their podcast for free, this year we're going to punish you. We're not going to actually say what the gift is. We're just going to show it and we're going to react to it. No, no. Oh!

No, you're getting punished. You're being punished. And so if next year... Mark is not speaking for the group. We will be talking about what the gifts are. I'm not going to punish. There's a cost of living. I thought we agreed to this. No, Mark. That seems... What's the bourgeois? That's very bour cost of living. I thought we agreed to this. No, Mark. That seems, that seems, what's the bourgeois? That's very bourgeois.

Bourgeois. We try to give a lot of good stuff to our patrons. I appreciate our patrons. I'm not going to punish our listener who can't afford to come on patron. Yep. Patreon. He's pissed off now. He's pissed off that we, he wants, Mark, you genuinely want to do a podcast where we open

visual gifts and don't tell our audio audience who we make this for what the gifts are. You just... When you put it like that, it sounds a lot meaner. You've lost touch, bro. I know. Let this be a wake up call. It's gonna just give me a fucking minute to just take it all in.

I'm sure I'll come around. All right. Zach's gonna open because we're at the 98 minute mark of this. And I guess you can talk about what it is. So I've opened up the bag. Pfft. Let's get, let's get some stuff out. Alright so.

Firstly, oh! PT doggy donuts. Oh is that for a dog or for a UT? Oh! For my dog. Oh that's really nice. Now if my landlord is listening, I don't have my dog anymore. Now that looks like a

I just want to explain that the dog biscuit looks like a regular delicious human biscuit. I have eaten my dog's biscuits before a little bit and I'm like, this is fine. Zach, just make sure you- Probably more doesn't have onion in it. It looks like a donut. It's a flat dog biscuit, but it's got beautiful... It has the Homer Simpson... And my dog loves people food. She loves going, give me some of that.

So if I'm pretending to eat this, this is what I'm going to do with this, I'm going to go... Well, just make sure this Christmas that you put it in the right cookie jar. Because I don't want to actually... You don't want to actually... No, I'm going to go... And then she's going to give me some of that. I'm like, not only am I going to actually. No, I'm going to go, and then she's going to give me some of that. I'm like, not only am I going to give you some, I'm going to give you the whole fuck

of the dog. That's gorgeous. That's beautiful. That's good. Urine off, dog and puppy. Oh, wow. There's a theme here. And odor out antibacterial pet wipes.

Wow. Now this is because my rescue dog, who was abused and neglected for as long as I've had it. That was very good stuff. Yes, yes. The opposite is true. The opposite. I treat her very well. But for the first seven or eight years of her life, she has a lot of skin conditions.

She would anyway, but the neglect really added to a lot of skin conditions. She recently has started getting blood or liquid has started going to her ear. So her ears have started to look like 3D Doritos. Ah, I remember 3D Doritos. Like a tornado? Yeah, you know how they're like three dimensional? Yeah. I don't know what a tornado looks like. It's similar but a 3d Doritos is you can't put it's like a puffy yeah in a

tornado you can you can put some shit inside it. I was like maybe it's a better version of a Doritos because you can put stuff in it. The 3d Doritos are fantastic. Anyway her ears look like 3d Doritos at the moment. That's disgusting. They're puffed up with that. It's all right. They're just like 3D. Anyway, and to treat that, she's on steroids. Also, because she's trying to bulk up at the moment,

she's up for the next Marvel movie. And so because of the steroids, she's been pissing a lot and because you know I live it she's been pissing in my in my apartment not that if my landlord or my do not talk about this on reddit or anything please we want this is just between us because Because I don't have her. Because I haven't got around to telling. Anyway, she's been pissing a lot and it's been a great strain to my mental health. So this is a lovely, thoughtful, beautiful. And that is the kind of gift that I've been talking about. Someone's been listening. Yes.

Someone's been listening to what's going on in your world and then they've given you that gift. What are you saying? I hope you get as thoughtful. It's about a great... What are you saying? Are you serious? Is this a mic thing? Are you bringing up the mic thing again? I can't hear you. Yes, you can.

I just want to say... Yes, you can. Broden, I hope you get as thoughtfully considerate of a gift. How did you know it was Brody? No, what we don't know, that is the spirit of KK and stop ruining it. He's got a dog! Broden, so you can't talk. I'm opening mine.

Your gift. Please explain. So my narrative today. Now we're just giving the people who don't pay anything fuck him whatever they want I was a ten dollar. I know a ten dollar was a ten dollar max. Yeah. Yes I saw that come in here go over to a bag that exists in this room and say is this red envelope up for grabs left the room came back my my My gift is in a red envelope where it says bro

But then the writer of it is sort of trailed off the writing as in I had the energy to just kind of finish my name. Stop speculating you're ruining the fun. I'm not I'm just reading what I see and then a smiley face. I'm opening the envelope. It's 20 bucks in here. Oh my god. Check it in bro dude. It's 25 bucks.

Oh my lord. Fuck that's sick. Everyone's gone over budget. Right and the budget was? 10 bucks. 10 bucks minimum but this is more than... I know you like 25 bucks more than 10 bucks Yeah, oh yeah. Thanks Zach Thanks for the 25 bucks

No, we don't know who gave what to who That's about how much that was genuinely Yeah, that's what I was gonna say Why are people going over budget? Why are people going over budget? I felt like I should up it a little bit Why have you both got cash? What? Why are people going over the budget? I was only giving him cash, I felt like I should up it a little bit. Why have you both got cash?

What? Why have you got cash? Well, I explained why I have cash. Why do you have cash? He won't poke you again. Well, I'm trying, if you might, I'm trying to, well, I thought it would be a good idea to use cash to like budget. Do you know who would love this? When you sit running out, then no one accepts cash anymore. Kids. I got that cash for you though. I went to the bank special.

So you got a five dollar note from the bank? Well we don't know who went to the bank. And then I bought some lollies. For me? That's great thank you Zach. That's lovely. No it's not. I feel I thought it'd be funnier. It's great. It's very funny I mean, we have a folder the Queen on our note and it looks like something. Oh, right. Oh Yes while a while sucking a doodle My My gift says dear mark. We know this we know who this is from. Well, we don't And the bag was two dollars itself. so there's probably $8 worth of goodies in here. I didn't include that in the budget.

We don't know who included it. Can I ask, did someone's wife help with this? No, no. Someone was here 45 minutes earlier because they thought it would take longer at Northland. They actually just knocked it out. It's a beautiful Christmas bag. Very thoughtfully wrapped. What's on the bag?

A Christmas tree. It's red and Christmas bag, very thoughtfully wrapped. What's on the bag? A Christmas tree. And what is a Christmas tree? It's red and white striped and on the other side it has, I believe what is, little... For a first time listener, Mark, just what is a Christmas tree? What is a Christmas tree, man? What is a Christmas tree? Because a listener might think a tree... I don't think a first time listener needs a Christmas tree explained to them.

You don't know that. Of the podcast? I think it's more if you don't know what a Christmas tree is. We've talked about Christmas trees in the past. Yeah. It's a bit of a running joke. A Christmas tree is a, I guess it's not, it's a traditional kind of, not, you wouldn't say it was like part of a ceremony.

It's like a pine, pardon? Oh great, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a pine tree that you keep in your house. Like a pineapple tree? No, they grow out of the ground. Saddened trees, don't they? I think we've got to mark this. Come on, man.

I'm fucking up today, aren't I? No, I've got too far. I've fucked up the mic. I've triggered it. I've fucked Zach off. I was trying to joke. You've got too far. I've got too far. I've triggered it. I fucked Zach off. I was trying to joke and... You gotta pull it back, Broden. Oh man. You've done a great job. I couldn't even explain a fucking Christmas tree. I'm so stupid. Mark, here's five bucks. Really? Yeah. Aww. That'll make you feel better. Thanks, man. Really? Yeah. But this was part of your gift. You're right, give it back. Oh, fucking sick.

Alright, so... I really gave you 50 bucks. Because I was like, that's the funniest thing. And then I was like, I don't want to give you 50 bucks. No, 50 bucks, yeah. I'm opening my bag, and I want to say I'm very excited. There's multiple things in there. Oh, there's multiple things in there.

Okay, ooh, one thing I feel, it feels hard. It feels like a toy, some sort of toy. A hard toy. Yeah, I'm going to pull it out now oh it's a solar it's a solar novelty kitten now Marcus this year has gotten a cat he's a cat and now he's a cat guy now it has but I'm a big cat guy and what does it do it turns on and off. It needs the sun. It needs the sun. But it needs the sun. But what is it? What is it? Like Superman.

It's like it's just a lamp? The eyes are, yeah, lights. Wow. To guide you home. Again, a great gift from someone who's been listening. All right. Yeah, I get it. Because I talk about my cat. I'm sorry I gave him cash.

I love cash. We don't know, first of all, we don't know who gave who what. No, I gave Broden cash. Well, we don't know that. I'm sorry. I just had a rough first of all, we don't know who gave who what. No, I gave Broden cash. Well, we don't know that. I'm sorry, I just had a rough day yesterday. There's nothing wrong. You got me 25 bucks. There's nothing wrong.

I'm not saying- I was going to give you my old, I'll tell you the other thing, can I tell you what I was going to do? And then I didn't know if it would be too, I didn't know if it would be, you know when you're like, because it's a surprise, it's the sort of thing I would have checked with you before, but I was going to give you my old Woody Allen DVD. Well, Annie Hall or something.

Yeah, I was going to give you, and I was a three, it was a three movie DVD. As we talk, Mark is trying to get the solar to work by putting the torch on his mobile phone onto the cat. That's not, that's not how solar works. Why not? It's light. I don't think that's... There's still more to my gift. It might be. Photosynthesis? I can feel the wavelength. Maybe two more things. Maybe two more things. Let's see what else we got in here. See if they're all cat related. It's a little bow tie! For a cat? No, just for wearing. Just for wearing? I didn't know there'd be so many costumes. Put it on.

Uh, yeah, okay. Put it on. The bow ties don't really suit you now because I've realized you have a beard. No. Did the person who bought these when they went to Northland, was it like to get a certain thing or just to grab some shit? I was going to go to JB Hi-Fi and get a Funko Pop or whatever. But then I thought I'd get a bag from the reject shop and then there was heaps of funny

shit. Oh, take it back. That suits you very much. Does it? You're really sharp. Yeah. Thank you. Oh, I believe there's one more, at least one more.

Two more gifts. Two more gifts. Oh, I think I know what this one is. I got, oh, a naked Chinese style chow mein egg noodle, instant noodle. I love instant ramen. And whoever got me this has definitely been listening. And I want to say the cash isn't necessarily a not listening gift. You may have heard Broden say, I don't know what I want for Christmas this year. I wish I could pick my own gifts because people fuck it up every time they give it to me. If that was something you heard, then cash is the ideal gift.

I had some cash in my drawer. Okay, well, I'm trying, we don't know who, but it's a... Look, I'm going to stop doing the we don't know who if you're going to keep fucking every single time. Just saying it was... You know what, I was pretty... Sorry. Really what it was, Mark, was I was very committed to the bit of giving him a Woody Allen DVD.

And then I was going to put cash in that. And then I freaked out at the last minute. I thought that's a bit offensive. That's fair. And I believe there's one more gift for Mark. Spider-Man! Well you've gone over ten. You've gone well over.

I've been fucking spoiled with the amount of gifts I've got. You've got a Spider-Man, a cat and some noodles in a cup. And some, and the, hey, and don't forget the bloody bow tie mate. And the bag itself. And the bag itself. Which I could reuse. I can reuse it. You must reuse it. Cause I know you like Batman, so I thought you'd like. And I love, but no, but I also adore Spider-Man. He's a webslinger. Is that what he is? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a- Is He's so strong. He can bust out of his own Mark no, no, it'll lose its value

No, I don't yeah, I don't care. I me I like to play with Tom How much you spend on this stuff? No, not at all. You'd be very surprised like two bucks four bucks dollar Maybe get maybe stayed in but no, yeah under 20 sure. Well, the last gift I believe is from you. That's so nice. For dad. And you wrapped it so nicely, Mark. Whoever did the wrapping for Tom, when Mark did it, he's wrapped it in beautiful ropes. It says from Mark.

Almost ropes. No, it says from KK. From KK. That is very, look how small it is. Tiny, tiny, tiny. That's really cool. It's very artistic. Yeah, Mark gives me presents every year for really cool. It's very artistic. Yeah.

Mark gives me presents every year for KK. I have gotten you every year. You got me for one year for Nerf Gun. I got Broden last year. You got me one year. You got me a cool race car. I don't like that we're fucking sane. And that day is Harold's son.

I don't like it. Mark's really into racing. But if that's what everyone wants to do, then fine. I just gotta get over my shit. What? Saying who did it? Yeah, I just gotta get over my fucking shit. No, we won't. We don't have to do it. Mark's really into ropes. But if that's what everyone wants to do then fine, I just gotta get over my shit. What, saying who did it? Yeah, I just gotta get over my fucking shit. No we won't! We don't have to do it.

No, I gotta get over it. No, no, no, no. I gotta get over it. No, because it just upsets me. I don't know who got what. Yeah, either do I. But whoever got me this is really into ropes and sacks, I think. Ropes and sacks?

Yeah. Yeah. The arts of Shibuya. Oh, this is incredible though. What is this? Is this special wrapping or is it like a, what is this? It's incredible. Someone describe it.

It's like a bag. Oh, it's a bag. But it's a nice bag. It's a sturdy bag. It's a really nice bag. I think it's waterproof. Yeah, it's like a very high quality sort of something. If we're talking Woolies, we're talking limited edition Woolies.

Yeah, I don't think this is standard. The ones that fold up into a little green bag, you know, the little green one that can fold up into a little, into a little ball. Yeah, yeah, a bit of that. But very nice, think, maybe someone cut them off. Paris scarf upsell. It was a bag. It was a bag, I see, genuine craftsmanship here.

It was, there was a rope around it. It was tied up with a rope, yeah. And then here we have... Another bag. Another bag. Yeah, no, don't worry about that. This is a... This is a...

Please reuse me, reuse, recycle, reduce bag. Good, good message. Not part of the gift, but a beautiful message. Why is there a bag in there? Yeah. It was to... I mean, look, we don't know. No, it was me.

Is it a tag in there? Mark! No, fuck it, no, fuck it. We are Mark! No, no, no, it's on me. It's, no, it's genuinely on me. a target? Mark! No, fuck it, fuck it. We are Mark! No, no, no, it's on me. It's genuinely on me.

I'm the fucking idiot for wanting to try and keep a tradition, to try and keep things fun. No, I agree, I agree. And I apologize and it'll never happen again. I got you this and I got it for you. Can you put some Christmas music on, Lindsay? I got it for you because, once again, I listen. Did. Mark has given me a Collins book called World Atlas Illustrated.

Because for the last year you've been talking about how much you love atlases. You fucking idiot. So much. This is so. And I thought it would be great to get you. Turn off the music please. Turn off the music. This is so cool.

This is embarrassing. Fucking hell. Why do you think he. Well for the last year you've been harping on every day I love atlases. I can't wait to get home to my atlas. Okay, stop! Tom. Yes? What? You're gonna shit your pants.

Mark, you fucking idiot. What? When I ask Tom a question he answers, get ready for your... If you're listening you're gonna hear shit coming out of Mark's asshole. Heh. Mark, you fucking idiot. Tom. Yes.

What is your firstborn son's name? Atlas. You fucking idiot, man. Atlas Artemis Saharyu. You fucking idiot. AAZ, as we call him. Oh, man. You fucking thought he was talking about

atlases in the fucking books. Oh man. The way, but you've been saying all episode how important listening is. You come for me for giving Broda money. I know he needs money. I know that he's lost a lot of his money on the horses. I gave that to you. I didn't want to bring it up on the podcast. They're getting closer every day. But Broden loves the horses, he's down at the tab most afternoons he'll finish work head off to the tab. I didn't want to bring it up on the podcast but that was a very thoughtful gift from me. And I need it, I've got to duck out real quick and go down the tote.

You've got to use that for the family Broden. I will mate, don't worry mate. You gotta buy groceries for the family with that mate. Don't worry mate, I'm just gonna knock out real quick. No booze, no gambling with that cash alright. I'm so sorry. Me, I've got a thoughtful... The first year with the cigarettes and now with this, it's unacceptable. I really thought, because the first time I got Tom...

Do you even know the name of his son? He's named after the Greek titan. I thought your son's name was Keto. No, no, that's just a diet I've been doing. Oh, fuck! Mark, Mark, Mark! Hey, wait, wait a minute. Maybe... Lindsay when you're ready.

This is the magic of... Christmas. Learning. What? Fucking up? Spending time with family. Would you have known that his... If he hadn't have said every day, my son's name is Atlas, here's a photo of my son Atlas,

he's doing this, here's a video of him walking. Hey, would you have ever known something about your colleague Tom? And had we not done this? No, I never would have known that he loved Atlas's. You fucking... Cut the music. What? You fucking- Cut the music. What? You fucking idiot.

You idiot. You fucked up so bad, man. You need to carry that. Just say again, Tom, his son's name is Atlas and when he- Yeah, I get that now. But there's the son. But it doesn't mean he doesn't like atlases, right? Like you like an Atlas.

You like an Atlas. Yeah, I like it. It's very cool actually. I haven't seen- Yeah, you love atlases. I print Atlas for you. He's pandering. Yeah. like an Atlas. You're getting to Atlas. Very cool actually. You love Atlas. I print Atlas for you. He's pandering. Yeah, but I think more of you know the Titan who was banished by Zeus to hold up the world. Well they're named after the same thing, Tom.

Yeah, are they? Your son is named after the same thing as that book. I didn't know that. And I think that's the most important lesson we can learn today is that those books, because they tell about the world. So by the same token Atlas is, he holds up the world for us with these books. So if Tom has learned a little bit about, little bit about etymology and that sort of thing, then is that not the most Christmas gift of all time you can have? Except for right. Except for you, Mark.

I don't want you to think... Sorry, cut the music. I don't want you to think that you're getting off big out of this, all right? I'm trying to bring a little bit of joy to Tom after you got him such a disrespectful gift. You disrespected him. But... Bring it back. It's illustrated. Christmas. Christmas. Great job, great job Mark on hosting

and I don't think we'll do it next year. Cut the music don't think I want to do it again. I just want to say thank you so much for putting together this whole KK thing. As much as we love to joke with the audience, it's so nice to get this thoughtful gift by the very person I just gave 25 cash to. You know, it's a really nice thing and Tom's gift to you was so thoughtful and I just think thank you so much for... Mark is handing Tom the cash that he won playing poker. Tom, Mark, you don't have to give Tom that cash. It's like 25 bucks.

No, I can't take it. I can't accept it. I'll get it to him later, mate. Give it to Keto. You've been listening to the Aunty Donna podcast. Thanks for joining us for another RIP episode brought to you by Aunty Donna Club dot com. See you next week!
