The ZM Podcast Network. Oh, Brianna! Brie's Christmas Chaos. There we go, it's already chaos. That was perfect. What a way to kick off the show. Seamless. It's 5.59 in the morning.

Welcome, guys. Brie here. I've used all my holidays, so I'm going through to Christmas. And Eli Matheson needs the money, so he's here as well. Yeah, you were like do you want to start work at 4am on Monday on the last week of working in the air? I was like, absolutely. I would love to. I've never had more energy

than at this time of year. I've never been more ready to kick things off at 6am. I'm ready to roll. Everyone is winding down, aren't they, at this point? It's all over. Even if you're working in an office this week, everyone's sending sort of one email having a little goss.

Oh, yeah. And then at about 2 p.m. you go, oh. Oh. It's pretty sunny outside, isn't it? Probably should go. Yeah, I've actually got a meeting off-site at the beach with my book. You know what's my life hack? If you work in an office and you want to leave early,

oh, no, wait, I've lost it. I think you say, nah, lost it. Do not. You do a fake phone call or a text, right? It's like the same thing as a bad date. Yeah. You pretend you've got a phone call and go, oh, my God, not granny, and then just walk out.

And everyone will be like, oh no. Won't chase that up. She probably needs a bit of space. You sneak out your bags and you hide them somewhere in the bush outside and then you come back in for another half an hour and then you go, oh, I've just got to go get something. And you get your bags and you leg it out of there.

Why do you have to put your bags in the bush? So people don't realise you're leaving. Because as soon as you put your bag on, people go, oh, she's leaving for the day. That's really clever. It also feels quite risky. Leaving your bags in the bush. Yeah, if a lot of people are doing this, I might spend the rest of the day going through bushes, outside offices, just in case anyone's trying that technique and maybe scoring some free stuff.

You really could. A couple, I reckon three weeks ago there was a party here just outside ZM where the whole building was having a party. And there's a few bushes outside. And apparently someone hid some beers in the bush. And then I've looked out and all I see is Ross Boss walking out there and he pulls out these beers from the bush from three weeks ago. Nature's fridge.

Nature's fridge. That is what they call it. You've got us for breakfast this morning. So we're going to be on till nine, Eli and I. And we've got $50 cash to kick off the show. If you want to play tradie versus lady, something we always play on our show in the afternoon. Bit of trivia.

We need two people to play. If you win, we'll give you the 50 bucks. Oh, wouldn't that sweet before Christmas? It would be pretty sweet. So we need two people to play 0800 DIAL ZM right now. It's time to do Tradie versus Lady. It's Tradie versus Lady. Three, two, one, let's go.

Here we are, Eli. Last week until Christmas and tradie versus lady continues on. Mm-hmm. We have kept score for the year and we will continue to keep score. The tradies are on 106, the ladies on 114. So does that mean? No. I think it's all over for the tradies,

but they can have a less embarrassing finish, you know? They can. If they can claim a few more victories. Who doesn't want the opportunity for a less embarrassing finish? I wouldn't know what it feels like because I've only ever had embarrassing finishes. I was going to say, me too. I don't know what the latter that feels like.

Okay, let's meet our players for this morning. Our lady is from New Plymouth. She skydived at 13 years old. Please welcome to the show Molly. Good morning. Molly, what made you want to skydive at 13?

I don't know. I'd do it again. I got to do it with my mum for my birthday. That's wild. For my birthday, my mum cooked me a cake out of the Women's Weekly book. Yeah, me and mum got the Hershey's choco pie. Perfect.

But, I mean, yours is good too, Molly. That's wild. That's a very interesting fact. Let's meet who you're taking on this morning. He's 37. He's from Ohakune and he works in the forest. Welcome to the show, John. Hello, John.

Ciao, ciao. G'day, John. Busy time of year for you working in the forest? Yep. Busy years. A lot of switch. Yeah, mate. Cut down any big carrots recently?

Pardon? Don't worry about that. Let's just play the game. Guys, here's the rules. There's $50 up for grabs this morning. Molly, your buzzer is lady. John, your buzzer is tradie. Buzz in when you think you know the answer.

First to get three correct will take home the $50. You ready to play? Yeah. All right, here we go. All right, question number one. What words follow Silent Night in the song Silent Night? Lady. Yes, Molly, just in there first.

Holy. That is correct. Holy night, you got it. Nice work. Alright, one for the ladies. Question number two. What is the highest grossing Christmas movie of all time? Lady. Yes, Molly. Home Alone. What is the highest grossing Christmas movie of all time?

Lady. Yes, Molly. Home Alone. That's a great guess. Really good guess. But I feel like it might have just recently changed. John, you want to guess? Got nothing? Got nothing? Got nothing.

All right. We were looking for The Grinch. I would not have expected that. I think it might be the Benedict Cumberbatch one, the cartoon. Oh, cartoon. That's recently done. Grossed over, nearly, yeah, over half a billion dollars. That's a lot of cash for the girl grinch.

Question number three. Who sings this song? Lady. Yes, Molly. Mariah Carey. Oh, she's on the money. Nice work. It's two to the ladies, none to the tradies.

You need this one, John, to stay in it. All right. Question number four. In which sport is the America's Cup awarded? Lady. Yes, Molly, for the win. Is it, like, sailing? She's got it.

She's done it. She's a lady. Sweet for the lady. Absolutely on fire this morning, Molly. $50 cash. We'll get that out to you, mate. Thank you so much. Have a good day, guys. You too. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. See you morning, Molly. $50 cash. We'll get that out to you, mate. Thank you so much. Have a good day, guys. You too. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas. See you later, mate. Hey, it's Christmas. It's Christmas. What? Hey, hey. Breaking news. This just in. It's Christmas. It's Christmas time. And I have been very disorganised this year. I've got to get my Christmas shopping done and I really need to do it today because it's got to be sent

off to Christchurch where I'm from. Mate, why haven't you done the life hack that a lot of people, because a lot of people travel for Christmas. Why haven't you bought stuff online and just had it sent to your parents' place in Christchurch? Well, because I... No, there's no excuse. Yeah, I'm terrible.

But, okay. And also because one of the things that I like to do at Christmas time is head to the mall, leisurely get my shopping done and then get one, two, potentially three things for myself while I buy. You're buying multiple gifts for yourself. Do you wrap them up? Well, no. I mean, one of them will be a massage.

One of them will be a 20-minute neck and shoulders. And that's, you know, that's an experience. I can't wrap that. No, you can't wrap that. It would be nice if I was like, actually, could you wrap up your hands first? And then I'll unwrap them. Then you can give me the message. They would have done weirder stuff.

Yeah. Yeah, 100%. I think masseuses could ask for some weird things. But I will do that. And I'll probably also. What other gifts is Eli buying Eli this Christmas? To be honest, I really want a new pair of shoes. All my white shoes have got a bit grubby.

Yes. And I kind of want, you know, I want to feel Christmas fresh. And also just probably a delicious lunch at the food court. Well, that's okay. Maybe a little ramen. So delicious. I mean, who doesn't love a ramen food court dish? I feel like there's one actual present in there, which is the shoes.

And then like buying yourself lunch, I mean, treat yourself. And a massage. I feel like the shoes are definitely, you know. That's a full present. That's a full purchase for you for Christmas. I really struggle because I do the same thing because you're online, you're looking for things you're at the shops, you're looking for other people so of course you're going to come across stuff that you like

so it's really hard to resist the urge to buy yourself a gift because my first instinct as well is like when I'm trying to think of presents I think about things that I like and work out whether they would like it as much as I like it. Wait, do you buy people stuff that you want? Yeah. And then if they don't want it,

it's still got a wonderful home to go to. The truth comes out. Yeah. So you're hoping that they're going to be like, not for me. I've just been looking online at what I think I might get my sister. Hopefully she's not listening. But some of like a Kiehl's moisturizer that I love and I was like, and then if she doesn't want it,

I know a bassist is going to be happy to let that up. My skin keen for that. What do you think, Producer Claude, around Christmas time? Are you buying yourself a gift? Well, I'm such a chronic online shopper. Me too. I don't really go to in-store for much stuff. So I'm pretty focused. I go in

more or less knowing what I want online, put that in the basket. You can see the total, so you're like, ooh. It's going straight in my basket. So I don't really buy anything for myself. Do you not buy anything for yourself? Nah, not really. Oh, you're such a good person, aren't you? Make us feel bad.

At home, we usually do like a December shopping for yourself ban. You can't buy anything for yourself because they might buy it for you. I didn't even think about that. Yeah. I got my sister. Okay. Here's a confession. My sister lives in London.

Okay. And I usually get her. Oh, you don't need to get her a present. Well, yeah. She's void. Instead of getting something for her and something for her partner and like, you know, four presents across the year, I just usually get her. Oh, you don't need to get her a present. Well, yeah. She's void. Instead of getting something for her and something for her partner and like four presents across the year,

I just usually get them one thing. So I sent them one thing and they just got it. It just arrived and I bought them, it was a board game and I bought them the same board game last year. Did you remember that?

No, I'd completely forgotten. So I just sent her the same gift I'd already got her. Was she like, are you okay? You sent us this last year. Yeah, and I was like, yeah, I guess you can give that to someone else. That saves you buying another Christmas present. I love that.

All right, well, let's put it out there. 0800 dial ZM. Are you guilty of buying yourself a little present at Christmas time? You don't have to be guilty about it. Be proud. Actually, you're proud. If anyone deserves a present, it's you. You've had a hard year. We don't know specifically.

We're assuming. You can also text us on 9696. Buying Christmas presents for yourself around Christmas, yes or no? Breeze Christmas chaos, because I used up all my holidays, so I'm here for another week. Eli Matheson's helping me out. It's good that you're so happy about that, though.

I'm stoked. If you're going to bring it up. I'm actually stoked. It's good to be here. No place you'd rather be. No place I'd rather be at all. And this morning we're asking you to be honest with us about Christmas presents and do you buy them for yourself?

Because, I mean, you know yourself the best. You've probably got the best idea what you want. You're going to buy yourself the best gift, so why not? You don't need to get a little return receipt because you know you're not going to be taking that back. It's true. You're not going to have that to worry about. Yeah, you're not going to give yourself a bloody voucher.

Nah. I hate vouchers. Do you hate vouchers too? I've got a Prezi card in my wallet right now. It's just burning a hole. God, how much money are they making when people are like, oh, there's like $2 left. I found this out from a Consumer New Zealand thing.

$10 million a year Kiwis are losing on either vouchers expiring or there being a little bit of money left on them. See, vouchers. It's a crappy gift. I'm just going to come out and say it. I've been against vouchers my whole life. Just give cash. I'm happy with cash.

It's not taggy to me. Give me the cash. I can spend it wherever I want. Cash in a card like my grandma used to give me. Cash in a card. Gorgeous. Nostalgic. There's a few people texting through on 9696.

Do you buy yourself a Christmas present at Christmas time? Someone said, I bought myself Botox for Christmas. Hell yeah, you did. It's going to look fresh for Christmas. You go. You go. I love this one. Me and my partner are living with the in-laws. We got them a new toasty and jug for Christmas so we can take the

old ones when they move into our own place. See, that's calculated. That's really clever. That's very calculated. Let's talk to Laura on 0800 dials at M. Morning, Laura. Laura. Hi, how are you guys going?

We're good, thank you. Merry Christmas to you, Laura. Have you gotten yourself a gift this year? Not yet, but every year I do it. And that's the highlight for my family to see what I've bought myself so you know it's all a bunch of fun for everyone So wait Laura do you wrap it up and then open it in front of everyone?

I wrap it up and I write to Laura you're amazing from Laura and they all wait with baited breath to see what I've got myself so it's a win win for everybody Laura I love you so much I think you're my spirit animal. What have you got yourself?

Do you remember any of the gifts that you bought yourself in past Christmases? One year I bought myself a GHD hairdryer because that's what every girl needs. Hell yeah. Last year I think I bought myself a very nice expensive pair of shoes. You know, just whatever tickles your fancy when you're out shopping and you think, well, I just need that. And, you know, I deserve it. So you just wrap that up for yourself and surprise Christmas Day. Oh, wow, I love myself.

So, you know, it is what it is. Good for you, Laura. It's almost like you're getting your family a present as well because they get the gift of watching the show of you unwrapping your own present. And then they also get the gift of seeing how you buy yourself a way better gift than you buy them. Exactly.

I tell them every year, you guys need to do this, and write a present for yourself, you know. But, you know, they've still got to catch on to that trim. But honestly, every year, and you just feel so good when you open it. I think Laura's onto something. I think we need to change the rules. I think everyone buy themselves a gift and open it in front of everyone, and then. I think we need to change the rules. I think everyone buy themselves a gift and open it in front of everyone and then

everyone gets what they want. That's perfect. Thanks, Laura. Have a good day. Merry Christmas. Thank you. You too. And good luck with what you buy yourself this year. I hope it's something good. Yeah, me too. I'm on my hunt right now. Okay. See you, mate. Bye. Guys, I've got to tell you about this situation

that's happened over in France. It's not good. What's going on over there? They've had to evacuate a whole hospital after they had a situation with a patient. So here's the details. A patient has turned up to the hospital. He's 88 years old. You know, good innings in life, good innings.

He's turned up to the hospital. He's got a problem. He said, look, I've slipped and I've fell on something. Oh, I can see where this is going. And I feel like it's going a similar way to where we were going when we were talking about the nun with the salami. Right, the nun with the salami. That's going to be a quote from the show today.

So doctors in France were left a little shell-shocked after a man arrived at hospital with a World War I bomb stuck up his rectum. That's so unfortunate that he fell and that bomb was in a perfect – obviously it must have been facing upwards. Yes. The ground. Yep. He must have fallen backwards and, obviously it must have been facing upwards. Yes. The ground. Yep. He must have fallen backwards and just out of nowhere.

Out of nowhere. What an unfortunate accident. That happens quite often. How many, when did he get the World War I weapon? That's, so when the doctors, he has obviously gone in and said, look, here's the situation. And they've x-rayed him and they could see this gigantic. And when I say gigantic, I'm talking like at least seven to eight inches bomb that, yeah,

Claudia's just measuring it out. Is that gigantic? It's normal size for me. All right, mate. You're like, oh, I think that's pretty average, isn't it? That's pretty normal, isn't it? It's normal size for me. All right, mate. You're like, oh, I think that's pretty average, isn't it? That's pretty normal, isn't it? That's pretty average, guys. When they found out what it was,

they had to evacuate the whole hospital because we talked about a few weeks ago, Eli, there was this couple that had this thing in their garden that was always just kind of like a garden ornament and it was actually like a casing, like a bomb casing from the war. And they had to like go and see if it was still, you know, because these things can be live for years and years and years and years. So when the hospital have realised what's going on, they were like,

we need to get everyone out of here. Fully evacuated the whole hospital. And do they tell everyone why? I don't. Why were you leaving? Wow. An 88-year-old man. Who's the most unfortunate for?

He was naked. He was naked. And he slipped and he fell. Anyway. He fell onto a lubricated weapon. He reassured them and said, look, guys, it's a collector's item. Not anymore. The value may have increased now with the story, with the legend.

It could have increased. It was from the First World War and used by the French military. Anyway, after they realised that the bomb wasn't live still they tried to get this thing out of him and they couldn't and they had to put him like into full surgery to get it out anyway good news the 88 year old is alive and well very embarrassed but they surgically removed it and he is on to live another day. Wow, sacre bleu. That's all I've got to say about that.

As they say. Are you going to admire an 88-year-old still trying some new things? Mate, still got it. Still got it. Still got it. It's time to go to Hollywood. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.

Dean, Oprah Winfrey has dropped a bit of a bombshell on the Hollywood community, talking about how she has lost so much weight and what she believes is the reason other celebrities have. I'm so shocked that Oprah Winfrey would speak openly about this, considering her deal with Weight Watchers and things like that. Oprah has confessed that she has been taking the medication that is prescribed called Ozempic. It is a medication I believe that was created to handle diabetes. I'm not sure how or what it does specifically for that. But one of the effects of it is that it does manage weight and cause weight loss.

She's never looked so slim ever. Go and have a look at her online. Other celebrities using it, Erika Jayne from the Housewives of Beverly Hills, Christina Aguilera, I believe Jackie O, obviously the radio host back in Australia, has opened up about it as well, I believe. And so it is the craze that is sweeping Hollywood. I can show you for sure the amount of people that I see in LA, like three months later, and I'm like, ah. Really?

Where's the rest of you? Do you have to get a prescription for it? Or is it like over the counter? No, it's definitely prescribed. One thing I will say is that it actually, the thing is I've heard that a lot of diabetics actually aren't able to get the drug because it sells out. What? The people who actually need it can't get it because people are using it for weight loss.

Yeah. I'm just really shocked. I'm so shocked Oprah came out and spoke about this because when Oprah comes out and speaks about something, everyone jumps on it, right? Like when she speaks about this, there will be a craze that people will all want to do it. And I don't know. I'm just surprised that she spoke about it like this. Yeah, no, I was as well, Dane, because she didn't just like mention it. She's like made quite a few comments. I think she actually said the fact that there's a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier

in my lifetime feels like a relief, like a redemption, like a gift and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for. She's fully on the Ozempic train. I know there's rumours that Kelly Clarkson's on it. There's rumours that, yeah, John Goodman has used it. There's just so many people. Sharon Osbourne's another one. All people saying, like, this has happened real quick for you.

Yeah, it's nice when people are open about it, though, compared to, like, everyone pretending nothing's... Oh, just having some more fruit and veg. Yeah, I respect it way more, eh? I do respect it way more. Well, there it is, the latest live from Hollywood with Dean McCarthy. We've got a very serious topic to debate. Yeah, it's time we all acknowledged it.

It's time we all admit the awakening that we had as children when we watched this film. It's time we admit the Grinch as portrayed by Jim Carrey in the film How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a hottie. A major hottie. Let's think about it. So you're obviously on the, you've already made up your mind. The Grinch is hot. The Grinch is hot. If you disagree, you've already made up your mind. The Grinch is hot. The Grinch is hot.

If you disagree, you are wrong. He is tall. He is tall. He's got long, tickly fingers. Yep. You know what I think is potentially the most attractive quality of the Grinch? Front bump.

I was going to go for something more kind of emotional. Okay. The fact that he's kind of got his walls up and then you see it break down and you see the vulnerability come through and then you're like, oh, he's a tough guy, but he's got a heart of gold.

Yeah, he's a good person deep down. He's a good person on the inside. But he's had a hard run in the lead up to where we see him, where he steals Christmas. Yeah, but that's not his fault. It's not what he wanted to do. He didn't ask for this life. He didn't.

He didn't ask to be a 6'5 sex machine. Is he 6'5? Is that how? Yeah. Can you actually Google it? How tall is the Grinch meant to it? How tall is the Grinch meant to be? Because I love that he's comfortable in his own skin where he doesn't wear clothes often. Like, I think that's sexy.

That's cool. You know? He's relaxed. He's free. Yeah, he's just letting it all hang out. Okay, so I've got two different facts here. Number one, Jim Carrey, who betrays the Grinch, he is six foot two. Okay.

Pretty impressive. I would have thought he was a shorty. Okay, but the Grinch. Wait, how tall are you? I'm five. Wow. Wait. Don't lie.

We'll get out a measuring tape. I thought I was 5'8", and I said that at a lot of acting auditions over the years, and then I have recently found out I'm 5'8 and I said that at a lot of acting auditions over the years and then I have recently found out I'm 5'7. How much did you second guess your whole life? Because I've done the same thing. I've always said I'm 5'10. I'm 5'10. Turns out I'm 5'9.

And a half. Yeah. Yeah. Zac Efron's 5'8 and I was always like, oh that's cool. I'm the same height as him at least. Same height. Yeah. And then, no, to find out actually, he'd be towering over me by a whole inch. Don't worry, you'd have him in other areas. Yeah, I've got the inch up. Yeah, I can just look at him and look at you and go, oh, he's got him. Yeah, thank you.

Thank you. That's a good score you've got. Anyway, and what do you think of the Grinch? The Grinch? Oh, at least 12 inches. At least 12. At least 12. At least 12. And I think I rest my case there.

The Grinch, hot or not? Hot. Case closed. He stole Christmas and he stole my heart. Aww. It's time to play Guess the Noise. Eli goes, just before we're on air, he goes, how do you play the game?

I was like, it's pretty simple. Claudia plays a noise. We guess it. First team to get three wins. Okay. I think, and what sort of noises are they? Just anything. Sorry.

That's up to Claudia. She runs the game. Give us the spiel, Claudia. So we've only played this game for a couple of weeks, so I'm still kind of like experimenting with what noises actually go in it. So we've done technology. We've done TV shows. This week, I figured since it's the last week before Christmas,

I'm not going to do Christmas noises because what are those? I don't know. So I'm doing sounds you'd hear in the office since we're still at work. Yeah. Oh, that's kind of bleak, isn't it? That's fun. Yeah, that's cool. Speaking of fun, we have teammates that we're going to play with.

Christine, welcome to the show. Hello. Hi, Christine. Christine. Hello. There she is. You'll be on Eli's team this morning. Oh, sounds good.

Okay, perfect. And Crystal, that means you're on my team. Lovely. All right, perfect. And Crystal, that means you're on my team. Lovely. All right, guys. You will play against each other and Eli and I will take on each other. Claude, when you're ready, take the reins. Okay, so I just need you to buzz in with your name. Bree and Eli, you guys are going first.

Here's your first noise. Eli. Eli. Stapler. Correct. Of course. Of course it's a stapler. Good noise, actually.

Crisp. Secret sound. Of course. Of course it's a stapler. Good noise, actually. Crisp. Secret sound. Love it. Reminds me of finishing your essay and like, ready to hand that in. Ready to pop that into the slot. Okay, that is one point for Team Eli. So, Christine and Crystal, this one is for you guys.

Buzz in with your name if you can tell me what this noise is. Crystal. Crystal. Keyboard. Yes, Crystal! Nice. Crystal. Crystal. Keyboard. Yes, Crystal! Nice, Crystal. Typing on a keyboard. We are really,

in terms of names as buzzers, Christine and Crystal is quite a tricky pick. Yeah. It's okay. My ears are sharp sometimes. Sharp and ready at 7.30. Yeah. Well, that is one point per team.

So back to Brie and Eli. Here's your noise. Brie. Eli. Brie. Oh, no. A computer turning on and Eli. Here's your noise. Brie. Eli. Brie. Oh no. A computer turning on. Yeah, I'll take that.

Come on. Wait, was it Windows or Mac though? I'm going to say it was Windows. Correct. Extra point. No, it's still just one point. Okay, Crystal, you could win the game for us this morning, but Christine, you have a chance to stop her. Here you go, guys. Here's your sound.

Crystal. Crystal's in. An iPhone message? Yeah, it is. That means that's the game. Crystal, mate, you've got sharp ears. I feel like Christine was right there behind you, though. Yapping at your heels. You're right there, Christine. Crystal, that means you pick up $50 cash. Nice work, my friend. Oh, nice. Excellent.

That'll be good going into Christmas. Yes, it will. Thank you. No worries at all. Thanks for playing. Let's talk about the most disliked celebrities of 2023. Gosh, this is brutal. I hope none of them are listed.

Do you reckon anyone's listing that's going to be on this list? Absolutely not. Okay, cool. Definitely not. So this list has come out after 15,000 people took part in a survey and pretty much had to vote. I mean, way to bring down the mood. But let's go through the list because there's quite a few people on here,

I think, where it covers different things that have happened this year and there's reasons why they're on the list. So let's rip straight into it. There's a top 12 of the most disliked celebrities in 2023. Sitting at number 12, I feel like this guy, very polarising, Jake Paul. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Eli's like, yeah, no, that's fair enough.

He pisses me off. Just a bit arrogant. Yeah, and it's like, what do you do? Well, he's boxing at the moment, isn't he? Yeah. Brother to Logan Paul. Both of them got quite a lot of bad press in the last

however many years, but he's number 12. Is he the one with the Pokemon card that's worth a lot of money that he wears around his neck? That's Logan. Okay. Yeah, Logan Paul. The most expensive Pokemon card ever. Wow.

It's like a Pikachu something. Illustrator. Pikachu Illustrator card. Well, I hope it was worth it, babe. Well, we'll see. Number 11, most disliked celebrities of this year. James Corden's on the list. Oh, yeah.

Was that this year where he was kind of... Got trashed for being a meanie. Yeah, because he was quite... Apparently he got banned from some restaurants for being rude or demanding. Yeah, and something happened with his wife at a restaurant and then the restaurant, like the chef banned him and then the ban got repealed or something.

Yeah, he was the second talk show host that kind of has been taken down. I feel sympathy for them though because I bet that job is so exhausting and no wonder you're a little bit titchy. Everyone has bad days though. I mean, not an excuse to ever be super rude to people but everyone has bad days.

He was also in every musical movie for a little while. He just kept popping up and it was like, oh, I don't want to see him again. Cats. Cats. And then he was in the Cinderella musical as one of the three blind mice. Into the Woods, he's in that one. He just kept showing up again.

It was like, oh. That's why he's on the list for all those musicals he did. Number 10, James Charles, who's the YouTuber makeup artist. Makeup artist, yeah. A lot of controversy around him in the past however many years about inappropriate behaviour

with people online. So yeah, he's made the list. Still making a tonne of money. Hand over fist on YouTube though. Oh yeah, if someone's getting, it's good for business. Any publicity is good publicity, apparently. Number nine, Chrissy Teigen's on the list. What does she do?

Oh, she's a big bully, right? Yeah, allegations of cyberbullying. A lot of social posts were discovered and brought to the surface. She also made news this year. The woman, the Kiwi woman, the caker, her name's Jordan. She got ripped off, didn't she? Yeah, got ripped off by Chrissy Teigen because they did a brand deal together

where she came out with these fancy cake mixes and got Chrissy Teigen to promote it. And then turns out Chrissy Teigen stiffed her on the deal and then bought out her own line. So the whole nation, really, Aotearoa, we are all against Chrissy Teigen stiffed her on the deal and then bought out her own line. So the whole nation, really, Aotearoa, we are all against Chrissy Teigen now. Yeah, not a fan, Chrissy Teigen. Number eight, Chris Brown is still on the list,

still making the list. Makes sense. Number seven, Hilaria Baldwin. Oh, yeah. Oh, I love this. So I don't really know much about this story. Alec Baldwin's wife. So she has like a full Spanish accent

and was talking about her Spanish family and I think was going around like breakfast television showing them Spanish recipes and she is not Spanish. She's just a white American woman. You're joking. She changed her name from Hillary to Hilaria. Cultural

appropriation. Hilaria. She's like, oh my first name sounds quite Spanish. I could pass. Number six, Bill Cosby's on the list due to various accusations and convictions. Still making the list. Number five, Prince Harry. Oh, I

just read his book and I honestly Did you? So wait, we found the one person that has purchased the book. Yeah, well, I got a copy through it ended up on my Kindle, but not through the Kindle store. That's what I was saying.

PDF. What did you think? Well, I got really into it once he met Megan, which is about like 80%, like a lot of the book's pretty boring. Then he meets Megan and then the stuff's going on with, especially with Will and Kate. And I guess you're hearing it all from Harry's perspective when you're reading the book, but I was like, oh man, Will and Kate suck. Yeah, right.

But I guess... I feel like, yeah, their popularity has slowly been declining over the years and then obviously when they left the royal family. All the royalists not happy about it. And there was a big bit of like, we just, we don't want any attention

and then like... We'll do a podcast and here's a book. Yeah, a Netflix deal. Yeah. Keeping up with the Dukes of Sussex. Number. Beautiful pronunciation of Sussex. I know. I'm Spanish. Number

four, this is the most disliked celebrities of 2023. Oprah Winfrey's on the list. You know why? This article says the primary reason that Oprah is on the list is simply due to her becoming

too rich. And people are like, not relatable anymore. She's too rich. We can't relate. She's been pretty rich for a while though. Very rich for a long time. Anyway, she's number four on the list. Number three, another talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, still making the list. My mum was devastated.

Ellen was her favourite person in the whole world. Gutted. What does your mum think about it now? Is she off the Ellen train? She is off the Ellen train. But also, I mean, Ellen's not really putting any shows out anymore. So, she's trying to get off when there's no carriages. Yeah.

Anyway, she's... Stretching that metaphor a bit. When there's no, yeah, other carts. I know trains. Now we're getting into the top two. Meghan Markle. Yeah, I mean, checks out. It checks out.

Harry's on the list. She obviously was going to make the list as well. Number one most disliked celebrity of 2023. Who do we think? Any guesses? Producer Claude? I've got to... I feel like I have a good guess.

Are we on the same page with this? Yeah. Say it on three. Okay. One, two, three. Kanye West. Gwyneth Paltrow. Oh.

Wait, why do you think Gwyneth? Because she did that whole skiing incident thing and was like, I lost a whole day of skiing. Because she injured someone. But then everyone loved her because of how good she looked in court. She kept wearing amazing outfits. That's true. Yeah.

Yeah, she's my probably top weirdest celebrity of the year. Yeah, so I picked Kanye because he's a bit of a Nazi. Yeah yeah i can see where you're coming from complained about missing a day skiing so i mean okay well the number one do we have a drum roll called the number one most disliked celebrity according to this survey amber heard oh that all went down this year as well, wasn't it? Was that this year? I don't know. Or maybe it's carry on. Carry on. It's just ongoing.

Yeah, Amber Heard voted as the number one most disliked celebrity. There you go. That's the list. We're just bringing the joy to you this morning. Season's greetings to all those 12 celebrities. We hate you. Some of you are all right. We'll keep you around.

Hey, it's time to play Birthday Banger. Bree's Christmas Chaos with Eli Matheson. We're still doing Birthday Banger for your morning. This is where you call us up, tell us your birthday, and we figure out what was number one when you turned 16, and then we'll play our favourite one out of the three. All right, who are we going with first? Ethan.

G'day, Ethan. G'day, Ethan. G'day, guys. Merry Christmas, Ethan. How's your day been so far? Pretty good, just at work. We're going to start birthday banger on the week. Well, we're lucky to have you, Ethan.

As someone who's January early, January 3rd, worst time to have a birthday. People are like, that's presents for both. I hate a joint present. People know now, if you're close to me, not to give me a joint present because you will be on my list. Anyway, Ethan, here is your birthday banger. Yeah.

A clean bandit, an Anne-Marie rockabye. Do you remember that one, Ethan? I do remember that one. I remember that a lot more fondly than I was expecting a song I was going to get. Yeah, sweet. I quite like that one, and it's not a song that has been overplayed recently. That's a good one. Or you disagree, Eli?

I think it's just been long enough to become a throwback now, you know? Yeah, just long enough. No, it's not, mate. You shut your born-in-2000 mouth, Ethan. All right, hang tight, Ethan. We'll see if we can vote for it. Tom, you're up next. G'day, mate.

G'day, how you going? Good. Merry Christmas. How are you going? I'm not too bad. A bit rough after the weekend. Yeah, I'm hearing that, Tom. A bit dusty.

I'm hearing that. Was it a Christmas party or you just decided to send it? It was Friday. Friday. So you've had, what, three nights to recover and still not all the way back? Not yet. Judging from how you sound, I feel like you're going to be a similar age to me where hangovers go for three days now.

Yep. You're Australian. Let's find... What's that? We're Aussie. Are you an Aussie? I am. Okay.

Well, welcome aboard, Tom. Let's see what you get for your birthday, Bangor. What's your birthday? The 7th of January, 1989. Oh, my God. What the hell? We're like three, four days apart, literally. Oh, we're nearly the exact same age.

You're a little bit younger, four days. You were 16, though, in 2005. And, Tom, on your 16th birthday, this was at the top. When the pimp's in the crib, ma Drop it like it's hot Drop it like it's hot Drop it like it's hot And Tom, on your 16th birthday, this was at the top. Drop it like it's hot. Drop it like it's hot. Drop it like it's hot. When the pigs try to get at you.

Oh, it's an absolute classic from Snoop Dogg. What do you think, Tom? It brings back the memories of the 16th birthday party in the field. I bet it does, mate. I bet. Drop it like it's hot sounds like what you might have done on Friday night and why you might have introduced some stretchers. You didn't pick it back up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, Dom. Still looking for it. I mean, it's a good one, Snoop Dogg. We've lost our third caller, but I do have her birthday down here. It was Angie. She was born on the 21st of August, 1961, which means she was 16 in 1977. And on her 16th birthday, if you're still listening, Angie,

here's your birthday banger. Boogie nights, heat waves, if that doesn't sound... It's got me moving in my seat a bit. ...70s, I don't know what does. I like it. It's like if you put, hey, chat GBT, can you make me a song that sounds like the seventies?

This is it. This is the one? This is it. All right, seventies classic there. We need to vote. What are we thinking? What's your thoughts? Wow.

I'm leaning, dropping like it's hot. The reason being, Tom is not only close to you, but it's also very close to my birthday as well. And I'm like. Are we that close? Yeah, we're only a month apart. There you go. Are you a Capricorn?

No, a Sedgey. Oh, that's right. Yes, how could I forget? Yeah, from the old Sedgey alliance. My arch nemesis. That went so well. All right, I'm going to go with you. You are. Yes, how could I forget? There you go, from the old sedgey line. My arch nemesis. That went so well. All right, I'm going to go with you. You are?

Yes, I am. Drop it like it's hot, Snoop Dogg. That's a great song for a Monday. Hell yeah. Thank you. Tom, you've won birthday banger, mate. Awesome, sounds great. Nice work.

We'll get that on the air and rest that head, okay? Thank you, will do. See you, mate. Here it is, your birthday banger for this morning, Snoop Dogg on ZM. Drop it like it's hot, Snoop Dogg on ZM. Breeze Christmas Chaos. That is the winner of birthday banger this morning. Eli Matheson joins me.

Is that your birthday banger as well? It is mine, yeah. I just had a little Google. Well, there we go. What a special day. What a special day for you. Speaking of special days, have you seen this clip that is going viral online

of a groom pretty much absolutely stuffing up his vows at his wedding. I haven't seen this and I'm so excited because nothing makes me happier than a wedding gone wrong. Well, you know what? It's not even the groom. He didn't stuff up anything because he didn't prepare anything. He had nothing written, put no effort in, and there's a clip of him going viral now and the internet is roasting him. So I'm going to play you the clip.

So picture this. They're obviously at the ceremony. She's done her vows that she's probably put in a heap of time. She had something written out. She's read it out. It was emotional. It was beautiful. Then the celebrant turns to the groom and says,

now it's your turn, and beautiful. Then the celebrant turns to the groom and says, now it's your turn. And this is what the groom said. I promise to smack every chance I get. That's all I got. Is that it? Are you sure? I didn't write nothing down. That's what you're going out with?

That's what I'm going with. We've made it this long. What the heck? Did you hear the celebrant try and give him an opportunity for redemption? Being like, are you sure? That's what you're going to go out with? You don't even want to chuck in an I love you? This is the happiest day of my life?

Thank you for making me the best version of myself. Anything. Can't wait to do this with my life. Thank you for making me the best version of myself. Anything. Can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. Even if you didn't write anything, you can say something like that. And I reckon not say what the one thing he did say. It's probably

not what the family and friends want to hear. Nah. Probably not what your auntie wants to hear. What do you reckon was going through his mind? Like it's a very important day in your relationship. I would argue one of the most important, like where you spend a heap of money. It's the opportunity, even if you're not an emotional person.

Like I just went to my brother's wedding, right? And my brother is a very sensitive guy, but he's also, he's not good at voicing his emotions. He keeps it to himself most of the time. But his vows, my brother's vows, because he doesn't say all that much, but when he says stuff, his vows were some of the most beautiful words I've ever heard. He had a little tear.

He was shaking. He put so much time and effort in to show, you know, his now wife how important she was to him. It is kind of the most important words you'll ever say. Really? You're meant to be summing up exactly why you're doing what you're doing. Can't wait to smack that ass. Like, that's what he said.

I reckon he thought in his mind the audience were going to be on their feet going, yay! We love it! So funny. And then he was awkwardly laughing. No one else, like if you've seen the clip, not one other person is laughing. Should we listen one more time? Yeah.

Let me take the back. I promise to smack out every chance I get. That's all I got. Is that it? Yeah. Are you sure? I didn't write nothing down. That's what you're going out with? That's what I'm going with. Cool. We've made it? Yeah. Are you sure? I didn't write nothing down. That's what you're going out with?

That's what I'm going with. Cool. We've made it this long. We've made it this long. That is bleak as hell. I can't wait for the divorce update on TikTok. Please. I thought we could ask people this morning,

0800 dial ZM, How bad were the vows? Were they, maybe there was a joke that didn't come off very well. Maybe they didn't plan or write anything down. Maybe they printed them out and then they lost a bit of paper and they had to wing it. Well, that's what they told you anyway. Who had some disaster vows at the wedding? We're just delving

into this viral clip on TikTok where a groom doesn't prepare any vows and they're probably some of the worst vows I've ever heard. I promise to smack every chance I get. That's all I got.

Is that it? Are you sure? I didn't write nothing down. That's what you got. Is that it? Are you sure? I didn't write nothing down. That's what you're going out with? That's what I'm going with. We've made it this long. I don't want to be like, draw things down to a gender binary here,

but no woman would ever do that. That is the kind of terrible shit that only a man would do. I mean, just something. Just say anything else. Even if you didn't write anything, That is the kind of terrible shit that only a man would do. I mean, just something. Just say anything else. Even if you didn't write anything, just talk from the heart, just that one time.

You obviously like this person. You're marrying them. You're making the biggest promise of all time. Like, imagine how bad she felt. She would have done, you know, she would have written her vows like most people do at a wedding, and then that's come out of his mouth, and she's probably second-guessing everything. Unless he really is her person and she was like, well, that's my man. He is what he is.

0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. We are asking this morning how bad were the vows. Let's talk to Samantha first. G'day, Samantha. Morning. Good morning. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Thank. G'day, Samantha. Morning. Good morning. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Thank you. Tell us, Samantha, was this your wedding where the vows were horrible? Yes, it was my wedding. What happened? It was, what, just over four years ago now. Okay. And he actually forgot me. Wait.

Wait. Isn't it all meant to be about you? Yes, yes. So what was he saying then, Samantha? So he got up and he thanked the guests and he thanked the travellers and you know how it is. And I was pregnant at the time, so he went on about how he looked forward to, you know, our son growing up. And he's got kids from a previous marriage, so he thanked them for coming and thanked them for, you know, helping, you know, with the wedding.

And then he sort of, you know, finished up and he turned off the podium and looked at me and thought, oh. And then he's like, oh, just kidding. And, yeah, no, it wasn't just kidding. There was no fixing that. It wasn't like, and to my wife, how beautiful does she look? You know, the generic thing that everyone says, nothing. No, it wasn't even a generic thing.

It was nothing. Oh, Samantha. She's like, by the way, toilets are at the back of the room. Smokies area is out the back. There's a bar tab that is going to cut off. And Samantha, has the marriage lasted? Yeah, absolutely. Oh, there you go. And I bet you thanked him.

Yes, I actually stood up and wrote a speech, yes. Oh, Samantha. Good on you for putting the effort in. Yeah, good on you, Sam, you poor thing. Thanks for calling. Alright, thank you. See you, mate. Bye. A few people texting through and someone said that I'd spent so much time on my wedding vows,

but my now ex-husband's vows were questioned by everyone. He looked at me and said my name and then said, I am all that I am and all that I will be. I love you. That was the entire vows. I mean, better than the audio we played before. Still better than that. Still better than that. Still better than that.

Someone texted, and I guess this is from the speeches, my mother-in-law forgot my husband's name and called him his younger brother's name multiple times in a speech. Oh, that's awkward. Someone else texted her and said, my ex-husband didn't write vows at all. He asked if we could skip that part. That's the main part.

That's the main part. Oh, can we just skip that part? Yes, let's get through that. Go's the main part. That's the main part. Oh, can we just skip that part? Yes, let's get through it. Go to the I do's and the kiss and just skip it over. Let's go back to the phones. Anonymous, good morning. Good morning. You've got a bit of a different story.

Yeah, I was getting married to a dairy farmer. Okay. And he's not very, doesn't express his emotions. Right. Not sort of, yeah, just not his thing. And he told me that he'd written his vows for our wedding in the cow shed. Okay, adorable. Very on brand for him.

So I got to the wedding day and I was worried. Let's just say worried. Okay. And he wrote the most beautiful vows. It was just absolutely lovely. And although he doesn't express his emotions to me in like the 12 years since, I hold on to those vows because those came from his heart. Oh, none of us. That's so sweet. Because you knew

that he meant every single word even though he doesn't, you know, say it any other time. Oh, that's amazing. I bet you were getting teary on the day. Oh, yeah. I was literally overwhelmed. I was just like, yeah, it was really lovely. Oh, well, see, there you go. There is hope. Thanks for calling through, Anonymous.

A bit of hope for people. Have a good day. Merry Christmas. Okay, bye. That's nice. Just straight from the heart, not milking it at all. I'm a dairy farmer. I like it.

Yeah, I was like, I thought of that, and then I was like, I'm not going to say this while she's on the phone. She would have liked it, I feel like. You reckon? Yeah, she would like, I thought of that and then I was like, I'm not going to say this while she's on the phone. She would have liked it. Do you reckon? Yeah, she would have had the vibe. We are fast approaching Christmas Day. Yeah, and you may have already had it or maybe it's coming up, but at the office party, I've read some damning information this morning.

Oh, who's going to HR? A little article here. Well, probably a lot of people this time of year. They shouldn't have mixed their wines. It little article here. Well, probably a lot of people this time of year. They shouldn't have mixed their wines. It's always chaos. Beer before wine. Okay. Apparently, here's how many calories we will consume

at an office work do, apparently, on average. The average office party attendee will consume 4,941 calories at the work do. Now, your maximum calorie intake for the day is meant to be 2,000 for a woman or 2,500 for a man. Why do men get more? It's not fair, Eli.

I think it's just because the lads are bigger, they've got big muscles to feed. It's the metabolism, Eli. It's the metabolism. As a shining example of masculinity, it's because I've got more prawn to feed. It's the metabolism, Eli. It's the metabolism. As a shining example of masculinity, it's because I've got more prawn to feed. But... I've got some straight

beef to feed. Help smug. Arm pit tears grow. Anyway. You can tell we've lost it at that time of morning. So, 2000, 2500, and you're saying we consume 4,000. Almost 5,000 calories at the work do.

That's not good. When you're thinking about what you're drinking at the work do, here's just some helpful thoughts about what you can maybe trade it for. And now this is what an article listed as. So, some of these are not so easy swaps, I think. The first one they've got is your Long Island iced tea. Apparently, that is one of the worst ones for you. Apparently that can have up to 750

calories. 750? What? I mean, what's so bad about a Long Island iced tea? It's all alcohol. Yeah, I don't know. Just lots of sugary stuff, I guess, but they say swap it for a Bloody Mary, which is... Can you imagine if bloody Tom from sales walks

in with a Bloody Mary at the Christmas party? Everyone would be like, what's going on with Tom, weirdo? That's for the morning after, not for the day. Yeah, no. Although, yeah, fewer calories and apparently you get two of your five plus a day veggies if it's got a salad stick in it. Guys, whoever's writing this article, let's be real. We're not drinking a Bloody Mary to get my serves of veggies.

You're drinking it for other reasons. Okay, well, there you go. That's a swap. Here's a good, here's one in which I actually was like, oh, I wouldn't have thought this. Swap your glass of wine for Prosecco. Really? That's an interesting one.

So they're saying less calories in Prosecco. And it's a huge difference. A glass of wine, about 220 calories. A glass of Prosecco, 85. What? Yeah. Really? Like, that's way less than half. That's actually

such a good tip. That's a hot tip. And I mean, it's pretty much the same stuff. It's got some bubbles in it. Yeah, exactly. And it's in a more sexier glass. This next one is kind of obvious to me, but I guess this is just, instead of getting a pint of beer,

get a bottle of beer, which is obviously, I mean, there's just less beer. There's just less beer. Yeah, so that barely counts. I'm on the low calorie beers. I think they're actually pretty good. I actually quite like them.

Yeah. Yeah. And once you're drinking the low cal, you can't remember what the other ones taste like. Yeah. I'll have a sponsored post for a low calorie beer popping out later this week if what the other ones taste like. Yeah, I'll have a sponsored post for a low-calorie beer popping out later this week if you're looking to give that a like.

I'll be sure to look out for it. And the final one they have, again, I think this is a pretty tough swap, but swap whiskey for vodka. So instead of apparently 25ml of whiskey, you're going to have about half the calories if you swap that for vodka. But you'd want to finish, like...

Wait, you're swapping... Whiskey. Whiskey. For vodka. Well, to be honest, I was never going to drink whiskey at the work Christmas party. Yeah, that's true. You know? That's crazy.

That's for, like, that's for the older employees sitting in the corner. Yeah. Like, you know, it's for the guy who's been there for 40 years. Like, I'm never thinking, oh, you know what I feel like? It's a whiskey on the rocks. Yeah. Anyone got a cigar as well? We're going all out.

Pop the robe on. No calories in cigars. No, no, no. You're good to go. They're actually really healthy. And that is the official opinion of ZM. Thanks for joining us this morning. Breeze Christmas Chaos with Eli Mathewson.

You've been a delight as per usual. It's been gorgeous to be here. It's been gorgeous. The Christmas spirit's been high. I'm so glad I dragged you out of bed on a Monday morning at 4am. Hey, it's nice. Well, guess what? It's 9am and work's done.

You've got the whole day left. Crack open the tequila. To go buy yourself a Christmas present. I know, that is what I'm going to do. Straight to Westfield Newmarket. See you there. Can I ask, because you said that you were going to buy yourself some new white sneakers. Because there's so many different types now available of the white sneaker.

I know. And I feel like it says a lot about someone, depending on what type of white sneaker they have. Yeah, yeah, I'm an Adidas boy. You're an Adidas. So what type of white sneaker they have. Yeah, yeah, I'm an Adidas boy. You're an Adidas. So what type? Well, the ones I've got that have fallen apart are Stan Smith. But then the ones that I'm thinking about getting have the red and the black stripe going.

I think they're... The Sambas? Oh, the Sambas is what I want. The Sambas. They're quite popular. They look good, yeah. Everyone's got one of those at the moment. You know my dad used to wear those back in the 80s?

That was his shoe. He still wears them now. He's held on. Yeah, I said to him, I was like, you know these are in fashion? He goes, yeah, babe, I know the trends. And I said, please never say that to me ever again. But he does. He's on trend.

I'll tell you who else knows they're in fashion. Eddie Desk. Because you look at all their shoes, they're all on sale except for those ones. Because they're never the ones that people want. Exactly. Don't need to put them on sale. Hey, if you're looking for something to do over the Christmas break and you've got an idea for a podcast, you can register your podcast idea

at ZM online and you could be the next ZM Podcast Network star. What would be your idea for a podcast? I know you've got one. Yeah, I've got one but I do one where I guess I love true crime but obviously you don't want to wait for them to happen so I think I'd

commit the crime and then kind of like solve it. It's a great idea and you know you're always going to get an outcome because you know who did it from the start. That's going to be an exciting reveal for the listeners. If they don't know, fingers crossed, they haven't heard this now. The podcast will be called Who Did It? I Did.

Sorry, spoilers in the brackets. Spoilers. All right, well, we'll see you. Elo won't be back tomorrow. I will. And Laura Daniel, the very funny Laura Daniel, will be joining me. I love that girl. Yeah, we all do. And have a, the very funny Laura Daniel, will be joining me. I love that girl. Yeah, we all do.

And have a great day. Merry Christmas. We'll see you then. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
