Morning, everyone.
Morning, everyone.
Morning.
Morning to you if you're listening and you're up this early.
You're probably on your way to work as well.
Working through like us as we say in the biz.
Oh, hard workers we are.
Just working through.
Finishing at 9am.
What a day.
I'm exhausted. Yeah, this is
hard. No, yesterday I got a little bit cocky, didn't I?
I was like, oh, these breakfast hours, you know, they're not too bad.
They're actually fine. And then this
morning, man, oh, I'm feeling it.
It's rough. I'm feeling it, yeah. You know how tired
I was yesterday? I decided
with the tiniest bit of motivation
I had left, I was going to go to the gym.
Oh. And I've rocked up
at the gym. I only noticed about 10 minutes into the class
that I did not have a supportive sports bra on.
Oh, no.
Nearly took my eye out.
That's right.
I've got the big ta-tas.
Good on you, bro.
That's awesome for going anyway.
And I felt good because I was giving back to the community.
Oh, exactly.
What a show. Yeah. Gym and a community. Oh, exactly. What a show.
Yeah.
Jim and a show.
Oh, mate, I put on a show.
Most people didn't ask
for the show.
Yeah, no.
An unsolicited show,
but hey, we'll take it.
They copped an Eiffel.
Speaking about
copping an Eiffel,
we got a big show planned
for you this morning,
including $50 cash,
which is up for grabs today
with Tradie vs. Lady
as per usual.
If you want to play, give us a call now.
Now is the time.
0800 DIAL ZM.
We'll get you on.
We'll see who takes it out.
It's time for Tradie versus Lady.
It's Tradie versus Lady.
Three, two, one, let's go.
Who took it out yesterday?
Oh, I forgot.
The losers.
Put an L on my forehead for ladies.
Nice.
Ladies.
Oh, that's right.
I think it was 3-0 actually.
I now remember, yeah.
Oh, yes.
So that means the ladies are still in front for the year.
I believe it'd be 117 now to 105.
We've been keeping score all year,
but it means nothing for today's game, though.
It's a clean slate, so let's meet our players for this morning.
Let's go to our lady first.
She's 39, and her fun fact is
she plays this game every afternoon with her son.
Welcome to the show, Bonnie.
Hi.
How do you usually go, Bonnie?
I usually go pretty well, but today will be the day I bomb.
No, don't say that, Bonnie.
You've got it.
Come on, Bonnie.
You're all over it.
Well, let's see who you've taken on.
Our tradie for this morning is 27, and his fun fact is it's too early in the morning
to think of a fun fact.
Welcome to the show, John.
How's it going? G'day, John. Hi, John. It is too early in the morning to think of a fun fact. Welcome to the show, John. G'day, John.
It is very early.
Very early.
Are you still working, John, or are you on holidays?
Still working.
Actually on the way to work now.
Are you?
Well, there you go.
Of course.
Who's up this early if they're not working?
Exactly.
No one chooses to do this, do they?
No.
No one chooses this life.
Some people do.
Okay, guys, here's the rules.
John, your buzzer is tradie.
Bonnie, your buzzer is lady.
When you think you know the answer, buzz in first to get three questions right.
We'll take home the $50 cash.
Are you ready to play?
Yep.
All right, let's do it.
All right, question number one.
This is multi-choice.
How many American states are there?
50, 52 or 56?
Treaty?
I'm going to say John just got in.
Is he 56?
That's incorrect.
No.
Bonnie, your turn.
50?
It is 50 states.
Nice work, Bonnie.
Ellie and I always think there's 52 for some reason.
Yeah, I don't know why.
I thought that was like a theory that went around or something one time,
and now I can't work out whether it's 50 or 52.
It's so many, eh?
Yeah, it is.
50.
Okay, one to the ladies.
All right, question number two.
Dump, floater, wipe, and spike are terms used in which sport?
Half-dirty?
Yes, Bonnie.
Oh, it's a great guess, but it's incorrect.
John, you want to have a go?
Yep.
Is it volleyball?
It is volleyball.
Nice, John.
I love that.
I'm going to get into volleyball after dump, float or wipe and spike. Yeah, that really suits your personality, I think.
Excuse you.
Okay, one point apiece.
All right, question number three.
Who sings this song?
Because Santa Claus is coming to town.
Oh, that's good.
Yes, John.
Sinatra.
Oh, Frank Sinatra.
Incorrect. Great guess, though. Bonnie, youatra? Sinatra. Oh, Frank Sinatra. Incorrect.
A great guess, though.
Bonnie, you want to jump in with a guess?
I've got no idea, sorry.
You can throw up a Hail Mary.
Michael Bublé.
Oh, she's bloody done that one.
Mate.
Well done.
Hail Mary, sometimes it pays off.
Two to the ladies, one to the tradies.
All righty.
Question number four.
What is the tenth letter of the alphabet?
Treaty.
Yes, John.
Is it L?
Treaty.
Oh, you have to take your first answer.
That was close.
Bonnie.
J?
She's got it.
And that is the win.
She's a lady.
Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady.
Nice work, Bonnie.
Obviously, all that practice in the afternoon has paid off.
There you go.
Cool.
Thanks, guys.
We'll get out that $50 cashier right away, mate.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
You too.
Thank you.
And thanks for playing, John.
Great game.
Thank you. See you, John. Hello, mate. Merry Christmas, everyone. You too. Thank you, and thanks for playing, John. Great game. Thank you. See you,
John. Hello, hello.
If you listened to the show a few years ago,
Brant and Clint, you might remember that I love to bring
some facts, and I'm here to say...
Buzzy, gee. I'm here to say I'm back
with some facts. This
morning, I thought... Straight facts on the show.
Just straight facts. This is an educational
show now, because I've arrived
again, so you're welcome.
All right, Susie Kato.
Oh, I wish I had my own theme song.
That'd be cool.
And I thought this week, because, you know, we're coming into Christmas,
we're going to be probably off work and school for a few weeks. So let's get our brains thinking.
So it can take us through.
Before we get a drinking.
Exactly.
That's a good logo.
Hard to tagline.
I love it.
So today, the facts that I've brought are about the human body.
So they can relate to all of us listening.
And now, just so you know, I actually found this on the subreddit Cool Guides.
Have you followed Cool Guides on Reddit?
It does ring a bell.
It's a really cool subreddit that just has random guides about like anything, anything.
And this was one that came up.
So I thought I'd bring it.
What are the facts they're spitting on cool guides?
Okay.
So the first one, your eyes are powerful
and they can detect light from a candle flame
over 1.7 miles away.
So that's like three, just over three Ks.
What?
So we could see a candle light from three Ks away.
That's like-
That's a long way.
Yeah, I didn't think I was, well, that good.
But apparently we are, according to cool guides.
Imagine if you ate your carrots, then you'd be like.
Exactly.
Which is a myth.
Yeah, is it?
Is it a myth?
Of course it's a myth.
So all those carrots I've been putting up my, no, I'm just kidding.
Not working?
Not working.
Okay, cool.
All right.
Do you know what the strongest muscle in your body is?
Your tongue?
Close.
It's in that area.
Hold on, wait. Let me hear. me hear your jaw yeah you're using it nice you gave me your jaw muscle is the strongest muscle in your body the
jaws hinge like features create more power as you bite down and clench your teeth there you go
did you know like because like animals jaws are way stronger than ours. Hey, like a dog's jaw is like way stronger than ours.
And then like I think the strongest animal jaw,
this is me just trying to make up facts now.
No, love her.
I'm pretty sure it's a crocodile's jaw.
Oh, yeah, that'd be right.
Or a hippo.
Oh, that's a big mouth.
Very strong.
It's a big mouth?
It's a big mouth.
Did you know that your body actually glows?
So our bodies produce a glimmer of light caused by bioluminescence.
It's not visible to the naked eye, though.
So apparently we're actually all just glowing.
Well, I am so pasty white that I glow 24-7.
That's true.
Yeah.
Did you know that in an average lifetime, you'll produce around 21,000 litres of spit?
That is disgusting. Yeah, that's litres of spit? That is disgusting.
Yeah, that's grim, eh?
That is so grim.
I wonder how much sweat we produce.
Oh, yeah.
Like some people would produce more, I'd imagine.
Yeah, I'd say so.
Isn't it buzzy that dogs don't sweat and they sweat through their mouth?
Oh my gosh, I've never thought of that.
Yeah, so dogs don't actually sweat like we do, but like when they're really drooly and they will be after a run, that's them sweating. Oh my goodness, I've never thought of that. Yeah, so dogs don't actually sweat like we do, but like when they're really drooly
and they will be after a run, that's them sweating.
Oh my goodness, really?
Yeah.
So does that help cool them down?
Yes.
Just in their mouth?
Yeah.
But does it go through the whole body?
Well, I don't really, that's how they sweat.
That's interesting.
Wow.
There you go.
You're beating me with the facts.
I love it.
Your tongue, forget fingerprints,
your tongue print is unique to you
Making it difficult to forge
So don't worry
You can patch someone
And they'll know it's you
They'll be like
I know this tongue print anyway
Exactly
I've got a fact you want to hear
Yeah go
Apparently you are
One centimetre taller in the morning
When you first get up
For when
To when you go to bed
And it's because
During the day
The soft cartilage Between your bones gets squashed and compressed.
Oh, my goodness.
Really?
How weird is that?
Oh, that is weird.
You know, my dad was, he was always like six foot one
and then over time because he like, I mean, he's a farmer
so he worked himself into the ground so he lost all the cartilage
in his knees and like just whatever and he at one point
was like 5 11 oh my goodness and then he got two knee replacements and a hip replacement and now
he's 6 1 again whoa that's just from the cartilage yeah oh my goodness at one point in my life i was
nearly as tall as my dad oh my gosh and then he just went, dunk, and back up. Now he's half robot.
Wow.
All right, the last fact I've got here,
your pinky finger,
you'd think that's pretty insignificant, wouldn't you?
Yeah.
But without your pinky finger,
you would lose about 50% of your hand strength.
Whoa.
Yeah, underrated finger.
Didn't realise it.
Mate, you can do quite a lot with your pinky finger.
That's true, actually.
You can get to small places, which is good.
Here's a question for you that I always ask people.
I always find it interesting, their answer.
If, heaven forbid, you were in an accident,
would you rather lose one leg from the knee down or an arm from the elbow down?
Oh, that's hard, man.
I think I'd rather lose the arm.
Why do people always say this?
I think I'd rather walk, be able to walk still,
and then I feel like I'm pretty clever.
I could, you know, use just the one hand.
I'd be sweet as.
But, mate, think about it.
I always try and convince people.
Think about it.
With technology and prosthetics,
you can get a prosthetic to put on your leg
and you can still walk normally.
Oh, yeah.
Whereas your arm, if you lose one arm, like...
Through the fingers.
The fingers and the hand and having one...
Like, I just feel like it's a much bigger loss.
All right, now that you've brought up the criteria
for I can get a fake leg, I'd lose the leg the leg of course you can do you reckon you have any weird habits that when you get into a serious
relationship eventually they come to light for the person that you're dating oh yeah i feel like
there could be uh many many things i feel like my partner would be a good one to answer this
question uh habits like weird things that you do that you might not have necessarily thought of
oh um my partner gets pretty annoyed in the morning when i wake him up with my farts
it's not really a habit that's just like so does mine oh that's weird that is weird i don't know
why it's so offensive to them yeah they're not loud they don't smell i don't know what the issue
is yeah i mean just it just breezes past. I've got so many weird things.
My partner is perfect and has none.
So it's just me.
But I was watching this story online where I kind of thought to myself,
would this be a habit that I would dump someone over?
Oh, okay.
So let's get into the details and then we'll discuss at the end,
would it be a deal breaker for you?
So here's the situation.
There's a woman who has posted online talking about years ago she started
dating this guy and they'd been seeing each other for a few weeks and one of
the first times she went over to hang out at his house,
she went to use the bathroom and she noticed there was no toilet paper.
And she said it was fine because I normally carry around tissues
in my bag and so I just dealt with the situation.
And she went back out and said to him, hey,
you've got no toilet paper left?
Just as like a courtesy.
And he was like, oh, cool, thanks.
Anyway, a week later later she goes back around again
and goes the toilet no toilet paper oh she goes back out to this guy that she's dating and she
said hey did you forget to pick up some toilet paper there's no toilet paper here and he goes
oh yep i must have thanks for reminding me oh. Anyway, another week passes and he said to her,
hey, do you want to come over, watch movies?
Like we should go buy some snacks and then we can come back
to my place and watch some movies.
Anyway, she said, great, that sounds awesome.
Met him at a supermarket and they're walking around buying snacks
and she said, hey, did you remember to buy toilet paper?
Let's go get some toilet paper if you didn't.
He said, I won't be doing that.
Oh, wait.
And she goes, what?
Why?
He said, I'm not buying toilet paper because I don't use toilet paper.
Okay.
And she said, what do you mean?
What do you use?
And he said, well, I've always just used baby wipes.
Oh, okay. I don't use toilet paper
and she kind of was like okay well can we buy some toilet paper because that's what i like to use
yeah and he goes nah i don't want toilet paper in my house i don't i don't need it i don't use it
i'm not buying it what did toilet paper do to him?
He's so angry at toilet paper.
How buzzy is that?
And she said eventually he got quite weird about it and was like, cool, okay,
you don't have to buy toilet paper. And then she's gone and bought toilet paper and then has had to keep toilet
paper in her car and then bring out a roll every time she was at his house to use it.
And she said eventually she dumped him, mind the pun.
Fair enough.
That is so odd.
I understand if you want to use baby wipes and that's your thing,
you do your thing.
But why is he so anti getting her toilet paper?
Yeah, like wouldn't you want the person you're dating
to feel comfortable doing a dump at your house?
Exactly.
And also like we have like two areas that we often wipe, whereas maybe guys not so much.
I don't know.
Were you still on the show when I found out the fact, Claude, or was it you?
We've definitely talked about it while I've been here.
So did you know guys don't wipe their pee-pees after they wee-wee?
See, I thought this was the case.
Yeah, I think some men do. Some men. Most don't wipe their pee-pees after they wee-wee? See, I thought this was the case. Yeah, I think some men do.
Some men.
Most don't.
I think majority, it's a shake, shake, shake.
Yes.
Or is it a shake, shake?
I think it's two.
Two shakes or you're playing with it.
Yeah, buzzy.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Yeah, see, we've got to consider the woman there
who has another area that needs wiping every time.
Yeah, we don't shake, shake.
No, we can't shake-shake.
It doesn't really work.
It kind of just mushes around the area.
You know what I'm saying?
This is very moist.
Yes, exactly.
We need the paper.
We really do.
You can't flush baby wipes.
No, exactly.
Not great.
Not great for the environment.
Although probably toilet paper is not much better, but I'm not sure.
And while we're at it, though, the toilet seat should always be put back down.
Sorry.
Amen.
I'm bringing it up.
But it's got to be put back down.
And while we're at it, let's just talk about it.
We've got the floor.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I'll take the floor.
No, seriously.
If you put it up, you put it back down.
If I, as a woman, have to come in, touch the seat before I go toilet, put it down, and
then touch myself, not weirdly, because I go toilet, put it down and then touch myself, not
weirdly, because I'm wiping.
I've now potentially got bacteria in that
area. Nice.
Because you didn't want to put it back down after
you lifted it. Oh mate, I'm with you.
Oh man, I could go on about this for a while but I won't.
I'll just stop there. Come on, let's go to the ads
before she does.
From iHeartRadio, this is
The Latest.
No Dee McCarthy this morning.
He's off gallivanting around LA.
But I do have a story for you, Ellie.
All right.
I was scrolling through TikTok,
obviously just achieving things last night.
It's okay.
You were working, were you?
Yeah, working.
Ah, okay. And came across this really interesting video
where it was the cast of Mean Girls.
Mm-hmm.
And it was probably for like a reunion thing.
And they were all discussing different parts of the movie that they loved.
And it was actually Tina Fey.
Did you know she was one of the main writers of the film?
Yes, I did.
It was her and Amy Poehler, right?
Yes.
Those two.
Yeah.
And obviously Tina Fey is in the film as one of the teachers.
And a question was asked to her
what was pretty much your favorite line from the film yeah and uh here's what she said what is your
favorite line from the original i think i will also say you go glenn coco because it's just my
brother's friend name and like i feel like my brothers i was like when you were writing the
movie first time i was just like using random names and it's just like my brother's friend
and now I've ruined his life
he's really nice about it
but he's just like a dad
living here in Los Angeles
and he's like yeah that's me
thanks again Glenn
I love
she continues and goes on to say
that sometimes she'll be walking through a shop
and she'll see a shirt that has you go Glen Coco.
And she's like, oh, sorry, Glen.
Isn't that funny how something so little like she just meant, oh, what's her name?
I'll just chuck that in the script.
Glen Coco sounds funny.
Yeah.
And it's become the most iconic line.
I imagine him at Starbucks genuinely just wanting to go to Starbucks, getting a Starbucks.
Glen Coco. Like you just getting a Starbucks. Glen Coco?
Like, you just imagine that.
You go, Glen Coco, with your pumpkin spice latte.
You go.
Oh, poor Glen Coco.
Well, that's interesting.
I wonder if anyone listening has the name Glen Coco.
Oh, yeah, text us 9696 if you do.
We would love to talk to you.
Yeah, I'd love that.
And has it also ruined your life?
9696 on the text.
That is the latest for you on the Mean Girls reunion.
Look, I've severely underestimated something here.
My sister's been away recently.
She went overseas.
And one thing about my sister, she has a lot of plants.
And when I say a lot of plants, I mean a lot of plants.
Monsteras?
Yeah, there's a couple of those.
Don't know what the rest are called.
Because to me, the plants all look the same.
I mean, they're not, but I don't know anything about plants.
People are so into plants these days, eh?
Yeah, and after what I've just been through, I admire them.
Because I thought, yeah, look after the plants.
It's like feeding a cat.
How hard can it be?
Feeding a goldfish, feeding a dog.
I feel like I could nail those.
No, no, there are so many plants in her house, but they're all different.
And some of them even need distilled water.
But only some of them.
What?
So which ones?
I don't know.
Your guess is as good as mine.
I was literally, so the last time she went away, she actually put post-it notes along
on all of them.
Yeah.
So that I was guided.
So each time I nailed it, because I was literally being told what to do by these post-it notes.
This time it was a last minute trip.
She had to flee off
and there were no notes left for me.
And I just walked in the first time going,
oh my gosh.
This is giving me anxiety.
Yeah, because she cares about these plants so much.
And I care for them for her.
Like I really genuinely care for them,
but I don't know how to care for them.
You don't care.
Yeah, actually if I cared, I could have individually like Googled how much to feed each one. You care for them, but I don't know how to care for them. You don't care. Yeah, actually, if I cared, I could have
individually, like, Googled how much to feed
each one. You care about her, but
the plants, you're like, these are my plants.
Oh, exactly. And honestly, every time I went,
there were a few more brown leaves
on a few of them. And I was going, am I
feeding the wrong ones the wrong distilled,
like, I don't know which ones
are meant to get distilled versus tap water.
So I was just guessing.
I was kind of going, yeah, that one's like a pretty one.
So the pretty privilege really came out for these plants.
I was like, yeah, you get distilled.
You're a little bit ugly.
I might just give you the normal water.
You get the normal unfiltered water.
Literally, I was just guessing the whole time.
And I was every time I came.
How long did you have to look after them?
It was three weeks that she was away.
That's a fair while.
You can do some damage in three weeks.
You can because she's also said to me,
one of the biggest plant killers is overwatering.
And I'm like, oh, wait.
So my theory was like, oh, just water them.
Plenty, you know?
No, no.
Give them too much.
Too much can't be a bad thing.
It rots the roots.
That's what I've heard. Oh, these are the things that I've learned.
See, you know.
See, I don't.
I don't really have.
All of our plants in my house are fake, pretty much.
Like, we just have fake ones because I cannot maintain them.
And I just want to say, anyone who has a house full of plants,
or, you know what, even just one plant, I admire you.
It's quite a skill, eh?
It really is.
And, look, I didn't completely kill any.
I'm actually quite proud of how I did.
But, man, as each day went on, I was like, oh no, these are getting browner.
I hope she comes back soon.
Yeah, literally.
And I kept messaging her when she got back being like, have you checked plants yet?
How are the plants looking?
Are they all right?
I was so nervous and so scared.
And she said, no, it's okay.
You've actually done a really good job.
But man, looking after plants, way harder than pets.
Way harder.
You reckon?
Yeah.
Well, I've got cats.
Oh, cats are pretty easy.
Cats are pretty easy.
Yeah.
Maybe dogs are not as easy.
How often did you walk the plants?
Yeah, they all got to turn each day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Here's Ellie just dragging a pot plant down the road.
They're like, oh, she's lost it finally.
Oh, man.
How many would you say that you looked after?
I reckon that she-
And remember, she's in a flat,
so she's only really got her bedroom, but it's covered.
I would say at least 25 in her room.
25 in her room.
Is there room for anything else?
Not really.
It's just like a jungle in her room.
Some are big, monstrous.
Some are like little tiny ones that she's propagated.
Very talented.
Succulents.
Succulents, yes.
Is it moist in her house?
I feel like it'd be the atmosphere of a rainforest.
Yeah, it feels like that, actually.
It was quite a nice vibe.
But I may have slightly killed it.
So we wanted to know because that was a lot of plants, right?
And I just want to say I really do admire you if you look up to plants
because it's really not that easy.
How many plants you got?
Of course.
How many?
Yeah, oh, 100 dolls at him. I want to know. How many plants you got? Of course. How many? Yeah, 0800 dial ZM.
I want to know.
How many plants?
We're looking for the person with the most plants, 0800 dial ZM,
if you think you're in contention, or you can text us on 9696.
Good morning.
Merry Christmas.
We're asking you, how many house plants are you rocking?
Yeah, we want to know.
Is it a regular old Jumanji house?
They'd be pretty cool, actually. A little jungle. Yeah. Yeah, we want to know. Is it a regular old Jumanji house? They'd be pretty cool actually. A little jungle.
Yeah. Some people's houses
are like that. Like my brother
and his now wife, the first
time I went over to their house, I was like,
whoa. I was like, I feel
the humidity in here.
Like there was just so many plants.
And that takes a lot of work, honestly. I don't know how people
do it after looking after my sister's plants
and realising this is harder than looking after pets.
It's a full-time job.
It really is.
So we're on the hunt to find out who has the most plants.
Let's talk to Rana first.
G'day, Rana.
Good morning.
Tell us, mate, you a big houseplant fan?
Yes, I am.
How many you rocking?
Oh, this is Sally.
I was thinking the Christmas tree isn't counting because I was going to keep it up.
Is it real?
Oh, yeah, because it's not a house plant, but no.
I just think it's looking good this year too.
No, we'll count that one.
19.
19.
Wow.
And how many hours a week do you think you spend looking after them?
Oh, no, they're all fake.
I love...
They look neat.
I love...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, Rana.
Oh, we've been rickrolled by Rana this morning.
That's amazing.
I love you, Rana, so much.
That was brilliant.
No, guys, they're all fake.
I don't have that much time on my hands.
Thanks for calling through.
That was brilliant.
I love that.
A few texts coming through on this.
Someone said, I've got about 15 cacti and 12 house plants from Nicola.
Wow, Nicola, that's a lot.
Do cacti take a lot of looking after?
I feel like because they're from the desert, Not much, eh? They wouldn't, right?
Is that true?
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I also laughed at this one.
As the man of the house, I've counted 500,
but in actual fact there's only 42.
Five years.
How many bloody houseplants do you have in here?
That's how I felt in my sister's house.
It was probably only 25, but it felt like 400.
I was like, oh my gosh, there's so many.
Still, 42 is a lot.
It is.
It's a lot.
It's a lot to look after.
Someone said my sister probably has 50 plus plants at a guess.
It's like a mini rainforest in her room.
Wow, that's incredible.
I could never.
I just would.
They'd all be dying all over the place.
Let's talk to Roger on 0800 dials at M.
G'day, Rog.
How are we doing?
We're good.
Are you the houseplant man?
Oh, both of us, really.
My partner as well.
So you're both into it.
Oh, that's cool.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, we've got various kinds of ferns and all sorts of stuff.
Although I'm not really up on what all the plants are actually called,
but my partner, she has it all down.
Yeah, it's pretty involved looking after them.
How many do you reckon you have, Roger?
About 28.
Oh, wow, yeah, that's a lot, eh?
Any expensive ones?
Any ones that are quite expensive?
Yeah, I can't think of what it's called.
We've got three of this particular plant that on trade me a few years ago,
someone sold one for $20,000.
What?
You've got one of those?
We've got three of them.
You've got three of them?
Wow.
Oh, mate, Roger, sell them all and buy.
That's a house deposit.
Well, is that a house?
I can't remember.
Cool, hang on.
I'll ask my partner.
He goes, he's into it.
This is like the black market.
It is, hey.
The house plant black market.
We need to get into this.
Yeah, we do, actually.
You could make a bit of money.
Yeah.
We'll do clippings and then, you know, you do grafting.
There's the snails on it has the flowers on it down.
Which one is it, Rog?
Yeah, they're called Hoyas.
Hoyas.
Oh, wow.
Do you know them, Producer Claude?
Yeah, they've got like tiny white, like kind of thick flowers.
Okay.
Yeah, and you can touch them and taste it and it's like sugar.
Like sugar?
Like sugar.
Oh, yum, a snack. Like sugar? Like sugar. Oh, yum.
A snack.
They smell amazing too.
Right.
Does the plant, like when you taste the plant,
does it, like do you do it at 4.20 or?
Yes.
What the hell?
That's a different type of house plant, Roger.
Sorry, my bad.
I'll be getting to that.
Different type, different type.
Thanks for calling through, Roger.
Thanks, Roger.
Very interesting.
Thanks, mate.
Appreciate it, mate.
Thank you.
One more.
Let's talk to Joe.
G'day, Joe.
How's it going?
Do you think you've got the winner, Joe,
the most houseplants of anyone that's called through so far?
Well, maybe, yeah.
I'd say so.
How many you got?
121.
121? Where did they go? Actually, got? 121. What? 121?
Where did they go?
Actually, it's 122.
She bought one yesterday.
Oh, my goodness.
Hang on.
So how big is your house?
What's the square metre?
Where is this going?
It's a pretty big house.
It's probably 250-ish.
Oh, jeez, Joe.
It must be nice.
It must be nice, Joe.
Well done.
That's incredible.
Do you have a roster? I was going to say cleaning them. $250-ish. Oh, jeez, Joe. Must be nice. Must be nice, Joe. Well done. That's incredible.
Do you have a roster for, like, I was going to say cleaning them,
for watering them?
Is there a roster going on? How do you manage all of that?
I just sit on the couch and watch them water at all.
Like a good man does, you know.
Yes, Joe.
Well, can you tell your wife from us that she has taken out the most
houseplants on ZM this morning? Yeah. She's happy. She's happy. She'll be stoked, Joe. Well, can you tell your wife from us that she has taken out the most house plants on ZM this morning?
Yeah.
She's happy.
She'll be stoked, mate.
Have a Merry Christmas.
Thanks for calling through.
Yeah, you guys too.
Thanks, Joe.
See you, Joe.
Oh, so interesting, eh?
It is.
I honestly really admire people that have that many plants.
As a child, I just thought, oh, plants, they're all right.
But now I realise that is an investment and a half.
Yeah.
I also admire Jo.
250 square metres.
Must be nice. Yeah, next we'll take
your calls. How big's your house? How big is it?
And can we come over?
It's time to play this.
Once upon a time, there was a
girl. She was smart,
debatable, talented,
athletic. Not really.
But picking a movie title based on just the plot line,
that she can do.
Bree and Clint's What's the Plot?
It's our plot movie guessing game,
and the $200 that is up for grabs this morning, Ellie,
will go this morning.
Yes, that is very exciting.
I can't wait to give this away.
Who's going to get it? Who is going to get it? Normally, I play against one person this morning. Yes, that is very exciting. I can't wait to give this away. Who's going to get it? Who is going to get it? Normally, I play against one person this
morning. Each person will get one movie. If you guess it before me,
you take home the $200. That's how it works. Easy. Alright, so
let's meet our first contestant. It's Zach. G'day, Zach.
Hiya. Alright, Zach. Here's the rules. So,
your buzzer is your name
Ellie will be reading out the plots
Buzz in with your name when you think you know the movie
And don't wait for her to finish the plot
Buzz in whenever you think you know, okay?
Cool
Alright, we ready
Here comes the first plot
Okay, hold on
Yeah, I'm ready
Okay
Two academic overachievers
Thought keeping their noses to the grindstone gave them a leg.
Yes, Zach.
It's like high school.
Maybe.
No.
Sorry.
I know it.
Five seconds.
Yeah, all right.
Okay, Bree now gets a free guess because you haven't been able to guess it.
Bree, have you got any guesses yet?
I've got nothing.
Okay, I'm going to keep reading the plot and you can come back in, Zach.
We're both back in.
Okay.
Grindstone gave them a leg up on their high school peers,
but on the eve of graduation, the best friends suddenly realised that they may have missed.
Yes.
Actually, I actually don't know.
Zach, do you know?
I'm struggling.
I've definitely seen the movie, but I really can't remember what it's called.
We'll keep going.
We'll keep reading the plot, okay?
They may have missed out on the special moments of their teenage years.
Determined to make up for lost time,
the girls decide to cram four years of not to be
missed fun into one night.
A chaotic adventure that no amount of
book smarts could prepare them for.
Book smart. Nice, Bree.
Oh, that was close.
That was a hard one. Sorry, Zach.
Is that what you were trying to think of, Zach?
Yeah, that's exactly the movie I was thinking of.
You were right there, Zach. I just got
you before you buzzed in.
Thanks for playing, Zach.
Sorry, Zach.
Have a good Christmas.
You too.
Thank you.
Thanks for you, mate.
All right.
That was terrible for me.
That was close.
I was thinking no one's going to get this.
Yeah.
All right.
We're going to go to Katie.
Katie, how are you today?
Good.
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm good.
Thank you.
Good at movies, you reckon?
You reckon you can take Bree down here?
I hope so.
Good luck, Katie.
I hope you can too.
Okay.
All right.
Here's the plot.
Two cops join a secret...
Bree.
Yep.
21 Jump Street.
Yep.
Sorry, Katie.
That was a bit mean, that one.
That was too quick.
She was too quick.
It's okay.
I was due.
Sometimes you just got to throw out a Hail Mary, to be honest.
You got to.
Yep. That's how I play. Have a good Christmas, Katie. Thanks for was due. Sometimes you just got to throw out a Hail Mary, to be honest.
That's how I play.
Have a good Christmas, Katie.
Thanks for calling through.
Thank you.
Thanks, Katie.
All right, the next caller, caller number three, Anna.
How are you today, Anna?
Good, how are you?
Good, thank you.
All right, do you reckon you're the person that's going to take Bree down and take that $200?
No, but we'll give it a go.
Come on, Anna.
You've got this.
I believe in you.
Let's do it.
Believe in yourself.
Okay, here comes the plot.
Your name is your buzzer.
In small town Preston, Idaho, an awkward teen has trouble fitting in.
Yes, Anna.
Is it Napoleon Dynamite?
She's done it.
You've done it, Anna.
She's done it.
Well done, Anna.
That's amazing.
Oh, yay.
You're going home with $200.
Wild. See, Anna, I believed in you, and. That's amazing. Oh, yay. You're going home with $200. Wild.
See, Anna, I believed in you and you've done it.
$200 cash.
Nice work.
You deserve it.
Thank you.
Enjoy your Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Sorry, you too.
Merry Christmas.
She killed it.
That was really quick as well.
Mate, she was all over that.
Yeah.
Nailed it.
Very deserving winner.
Well done.
What's the plot done for another year?
Will it be back next year?
Probably.
I mean, it's been around since the start of the show, isn't it?
Yeah.
You really love it.
It's kind of heritage now.
It is.
Up next on the show, we're going to talk about the guy who's taken out the world championships
of Excel.
Like?
Like as in Excel. So he doesn't just Excel, championships of Excel. Like? Like as in Excel.
So he doesn't just Excel, he does Excel.
Is that what you mean?
Oh, you nailed that, mate.
Feel good story for you for your Thursday.
I want to tell you about the Excel two-time,
oh, no, I believe three-time world champion.
Wow.
Just been crowned last week.
Aussie Andrew
Nye. They call him
the Annihilator. Oh, that is
great. Andrew the Annihilator
Nye. Oh, I love it. Has just
been crowned the XL world
champ in Las Vegas.
He's 36 and he
took out the title after finishing
196
points clear of his nearest rival.
Wow.
That's insane.
How does this work?
Do you know?
How are they judging this?
What are they doing?
Mate, I don't know how Excel works.
Exactly.
Do you?
No, the only thing I can do is the equals sum plus.
So I can do the adding of the cells to equal one, but that is all I can do.
I don't know how people use Excel, but I lost me.
Exactly.
You lost me.
When I see people doing work in Excel, I'm just in awe.
Yeah.
Because I'm like, how are you doing this?
I know.
And to be honest, I always thought Excel was a bit basic.
But then when I got older, I realised, wow,
this is one of the most complex Microsoft apps ever.
It's so complex.
I can barely use Word.
Yeah. Like Excel is just like apps ever. It's so complex. I can barely use Word. Yeah.
Like Excel is just like next level.
Yeah, it is.
It's so interesting that there's a world championships for it.
I wonder how, yeah, like how do they score it?
Like how, what kind of games are they doing
where you take on someone else
to be able to take out the world championship of Excel?
Like is it pace-based?
So it's like the quickest to do X?
Or is it the most complex thing you can make?
Like, I don't know.
I can't imagine how that would work because we know nothing about Excel.
So I suppose all the theories we've got are probably wrong.
Probably wrong.
There's people probably listening who are really good at Excel.
Like, what kind of job would you be?
Would accountants use Excel?
I would say so.
I've never sounded dumber.
No, that's a lie. I definitely have. But it's quite interesting to me when people develop
such a, like to me, that's quite a unique skill.
Yeah, it is.
Like where you're so, so good at it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Producer Claude, do you know much about Excel? No. Because you'd be the smartest on the team. Yeah, it is. Like where you're so, so good at it. Yeah. Yeah. Producer Claude, do you know much about Excel?
No.
Because you'd be the smartest on the team.
Oh, thanks.
No, I have no idea, but my partner does.
So every time I need something, I'll outsource.
Oh, nice.
Can you do...
Hey, babe, could you just do some formulas?
Is it equations?
Can you make it do the thing, please?
Yeah, it's quite interesting.
Do you have any special skills, please? Yeah, it's quite interesting.
Do you have any special skills, Ellie?
Oh, wow.
Like where you're really good at something?
Nothing springs to mind, so obviously not.
Nothing.
I always pride myself that I feel like I'm quite a quick typer.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and I put it down to I did typing lessons at school,
probably like everyone did, but I grew up in the MSN era.
Oh, mate, yes.
That is exactly why I'm also quite a quick typer.
Yeah.
It's from MSN.
And do you touch type or do you use the proper keys?
I don't.
I touch type.
Like I'm not looking, but I'm not doing it the proper way.
You know what I mean?
My hands just move.
It's just magic.
It just happens.
It just appears on the screen.
God, your partner's so lucky.
I thought we could ask this one.
Like, actually, no, before we move on.
Yeah.
How many words a minute do you think you type?
Oh.
Have you tested yourself?
Not for ages, so I can't actually remember what it was.
I reckon in the break.
Should we do a competition?
Yeah, should we have a competition?
We'll go to this website.
Yeah.
Anyone can do it.
If you want to test how fast you type, you just,
I think you type in typing test and it just comes up.
Really?
Is that all we have to do, just type in the typing test and it comes up on Google?
Mate, I also am good at Excel.
So we'll do that in the break, but I wanted to ask people listening, 0800 dials at M
or you can text us on 9696.
What is a skill you have that you're just really, really good at?
Like it might be super niche.
Oh, the niche of the bidder, I reckon.
Yeah.
The niche of the bidder.
Like it could even be that you can look at Tupperware
and be like, I know the exact size of Tupperware and I know how much it's going to fit.
So you could look at the pot and go, this is the exact Tupperware.
Yeah, love it.
It's going to fit exactly.
Yeah.
You know, like niche skills like that.
Oh, 800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696.
What's the real niche skill you're super good at? We're talking about the Excel world champion
has just been crowned in Las Vegas, Andrew the Annihilator Nye.
What a legend.
Three-time Excel world champion, Ellie.
Amazing.
So we're talking about impressive niche skills.
You and I were just talking about how we both reckon we're fast typers.
We do reckon.
We've just taken a test.
We have.
We don't know what each other has got.
No.
First, let's talk about accuracy.
Okay.
What did you get for accuracy?
For accuracy, I got 94%.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Not bad.
I got 100.
Did you?
Did you not?
Because I kept going back.
I kept going back.
No, I did.
I did, but I just kept going back.
Gotcha.
Nice.
What were your type in a minute?
I feel like you're going to beat me.
I'll go first.
It wasn't as high as I thought it was going to be, actually.
But yeah, what's yours?
I was typing 76 words a minute.
That's amazing.
No, you beat me.
I was only doing 67.
That's pretty good still, though.
That's not great.
I'm actually quite disappointed with my score.
I think we need a rematch.
Mate, rematch tomorrow? Yeah. No, well done. We're the biggest nerds ever. Let's it's not great. I'm actually quite disappointed with my score. I think we need a rematch. Mate, rematch tomorrow?
Yeah.
No, well done.
We're the biggest nerds ever.
Let's go to the phones.
Let's talk to Pookie.
Hello, mate.
Hello.
How are you, girls?
We're really good.
Mate, what's your special skill?
I can drive a B-train
and reverse a B-train
around Wellington City.
Oh.
Are you kidding?
And when you say B-train, for those that don't really know,
tell us exactly what that is.
So it's basically a truck but with two trailers.
A B double.
Yeah, a B double basically.
Yeah, so just two different pivot points.
So you kind of got to like, it's like a slate basically on the road.
That's insane.
Mate, how do people even do one and you're doing two
in Wellington City?
Yeah, it's a bit of a
yeah, it's like, it took a while to get used to
to be honest but Wellington kind of
made it a lot easier pretty quick
because of the tight narrow roads
and traffic and stuff.
You were forced to learn. How many things did you hit when you were learning?
Oh, I hit a few.
Yeah, a few gates, but the thing is,
I don't feel them when I hit them, eh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, man.
So, Cookie, I bet you don't hit any kerbs
when you're driving a normal car.
Yeah, this feels like a Zicky Swift, to be honest.
Yeah.
I love it.
Mate, that's incredible.
Thanks for calling through. We love it. Yeah. Thank you. Have a a sticky slip, to be honest. Yeah. I love it. Mate, that's incredible. Thanks for calling through.
We love it.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Have a good Christmas.
You too, mate.
See you later.
A few great texts coming through on this.
Someone said, not sure if this is a special skill,
but I can visualise things in 3D.
That is a special skill.
Yeah.
That's quite amazing.
Yeah, I think, I don't know, I think I can.
I'm not sure.
You can't, can you?
I can't visualise anything.
I've got, I've got infantasia where I can't see anything when I visualise stuff.
Someone else said, I'm weirdly good at finder words.
I once did one with the paper facing the wrong way and still found every word.
That's amazing.
That's an incredible skill.
Wow.
Let's talk to Jacob on 0800DIALS.
Morning, mate.
Morning.
What's your special niche skill?
So I can guesstimate the weight of a suitcase just by hand pretty accurately.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
So you'd be a good person to travel with because you wouldn't have to get any scales,
you just say, yep, you're 23, you're 24, you're over.
Unpack that.
Yeah, pretty much.
Oh, that's amazing.
We go to the airport and then test my suitcase
to see how accurate I am.
Oh, what a fun game.
And how close do you normally get, Jacob?
Oh, usually within like 0.5 of a kilo.
That's good, man.
That's pretty spot on.
Do you do it with humans?
I think I could tell you if there was a human in the suitcase
because of the weight of it.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, that's good.
Maybe the police could use you for things.
I don't know.
Jeez.
Hey, thanks for calling through, Jacob.
Have a good Christmas.
Don't worry, you too.
See you.
Someone else said, I can, I love this one,
I can look at a tile and tell what supplier and store it is from.
I worked with tiles for such a long time.
Wow.
It's a special skill.
That is very special.
It comes from experience.
Exactly.
Let's talk to one more person.
Angus, morning.
Morning.
Tell us, Angus, what's your special niche skill?
It's not as impressive as, you know, the other callers today,
but, yeah, it's kind of a weird one, I guess,
but I can pick
up golf balls with my feet.
What? Yes.
No, this is what we're after, Angus. I love this.
Yeah, this is what we're after. When did you discover you can do that?
When I lived up north, my mum's ex-partner, he used to make us go around picking up golf balls off the golf course
and we'd get like 50 cents per one.
Hell yeah.
And then I was like,
I'll try it and then did it.
Oh my goodness.
Work smarter, not harder, I reckon.
So you're saving the whole bend down.
Like you must be a lot quicker than everyone else.
Which toes are you using?
The big one and just all of them, I guess.
Oh, so you sort of wrap around the entire golf ball.
Wow.
The team toe effort.
Angus, do you pick anything else up?
Like, do you use the skill, like, when you're at home?
Like, will you pick up a shirt or will you pick up other things?
Oh, yeah, I guess I kind of do sometimes, eh?
Listen to Angus, he's like...
I'm not going to miss a second nation now.
Yeah.
Angus, we love your special niche skill, mate.
Probably the best one of the morning.
I agree.
Cheers for that, guys.
You guys have a great Christmas and Happy New Year.
You too, Angus.
Thanks for calling.
I can just picture his toes looking like hands.
He'd be like, hey, Angus, can you get that thing for me?
He's like, yeah, no worries, got it.
Ellie on the telly.
Birthday Banger Time is where we find out
what was the number one song when people turned 16
and then you and I will vote.
We didn't agree yesterday. We didn't. But today's a new day.
Yes it is. Maybe we'll agree today. Maybe we will. Let's go to the phones. Let's talk to

Now I'm like. Oh, come on.
Hey, could be worse, Andy.
Let's see what else other people get.
Hold there for a second.
Let's talk to Sian.
G'day, Sian.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Good on you.

Oh, what does that mean?
What's the name?
It's an artificial inseminator, basically, for dairy cows.
Oh, right.
Oh.
So you're putting your hand up their toots.
Yeah.
You can say that, yeah.
Well, shut on you.
Sianae, thank you for your service.
Agreed.
Thank you, thank you.
We appreciate you.
What's your birthday?
8th of February, 1998.
All right, Sianae, that means you were 16 in 2014.
And back on that day, this was at the top.
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be.
No, no, no, no place I'd rather be. I love it.
Yeah, this was a big hit, eh?
This was such a big hit from Clean Bandit.
Yeah.
Rather Be.
It's a great one, Sian, eh?
Love that, yeah.
All right, stick around.
We'll see if it wins this morning.
Last one for Felicity.
G'day, Flick.
Hi, how are you?
We're good.
How are you?
I'm good, thank you.
Are you still at work?
Yes, I am.
God, all of us just putting in the mahi.
What do you do?
I'm a hairdresser.
Oh, you must have a lot of people being like,
oh, I forgot to book, but it's Christmas.
Can I have an appointment now, please?
Is that right?
I think Ellie actually messaged you yesterday.
Yeah, what?
Yeah.
That wasn't me.
Can you do a full head of foils, please, Flick?
Bless your heart.
Thank you for your service.
Amen to that.
Thank you.
What's your birthday, mate?
18th of the 8th, 1994.
All right, that means you were 16 in 2010.
And let me take you back to your 16th with this one.
Banger from Katy Perry, Teenage Dream.
Are you a fan, Flick?
Yeah, I loved it back then, yep.
Same.
Huge hit for Katy Perry.
I was a fan of that song.
Yeah, I think it's one of my faves. Yeah, one of her
best. Okay, hold there, Felicity.
We need to vote. This is hard
because all these songs are
well, look. You really want to
tick me off this morning, eh, and vote for Hey Baby.
I feel like it would be really funny to
just annoy Vree and pick that one. And also
you know, it's quite a throwback. It's pretty buzzy,
pretty odd, but then like Teenage Dream
and Rather Be are very good songs too.
And probably better sing-alongs.
I'm just going to check the text machine if there's any vibe.
That's what I was going to do.
I just want to see what's the vibe.
Anyone say anything?
No?
We're on our own here, Brie.
What are you thinking?
What are your thoughts?
You can vote first.
Okay, I'm going to, okay.
I'm going to, I'm just going to make Claudia choose,
and I'm going to choose Hey Baby so that it goes to you and then Claude.
So I don't have to do it.
Well, I already know Claudia is going to pick Hey Baby, DJ Otsi.
Oh, no, you split the vote.
What's your vote, Bree?
Hey Baby.
I'm voting for it this morning.
Are you really?
Yes.
She's flipped it on its head.
I wanted to do it.
For Andy and our courier driver, you've won birthday banger this morning, Andy. really? Yes. She's flipped it on its head. I wanted to do it. For Andy and our courier driver,
you've won birthday banger this morning, Andy.
Yeehaw.
Good luck, mate, out there.
Keep doing the miracle work
you do. I will do.
Merry Christmas, mate. Merry Christmas.
Thank you, Andy. Here it is.
Hey, baby, DJ
Otzi, your birthday banger this
morning. Oh, my God.
Let's go.
There it is.
Hey, baby, DJ Otzi.
Oh, you were getting into it.
You were getting into it by the end there, weren't you?
Yeah, I was.
Yeah, you were.
Didn't mind it by the end. Oh, that key change. That hits hard, doesn't it? Oh, he were getting into it. You were getting into it by the end there, weren't you? Yeah, I was. Yeah, you were. I didn't mind it by the end.
Oh, that key change.
That hits hard, doesn't it?
Oh, he just sends it.
He sends it.
Oh, that's also a great song.
Probably my favourite DJ Otzi song.
I love that.
I love that.
Hey, I wanted to talk about a thing I saw,
what the Hemsworths are up to at the moment.
Oh, yes.
The Chris Hemsworths, him and the fam,
are currently enjoying a pre-Christmas holiday in Fiji.
Oh, lovely.
So not too far from where we are.
Oh, yeah.
Not too far.
So he has three kids.
I believe he has a daughter, India,
and then twin sons, Tristan and Sasha.
Oh, yeah.
And his actress wife, Elsa, can't remember her last name, Pataki?
Yeah, I can't actually.
Pataki.
Anyway, they're all beautiful humans.
And there was this video that he posted recently where they're in Fiji
and they're fishing on the boat.
It's him and his son, actually, that's fishing on the boat.
And it's what his son calls his dad chris okay take a
listen to see if you can hear the nickname i wouldn't even say it's a nickname but what chris
hemsworth's son calls him okay let me give it a turn chris we have a turn come on chris
come on keep on fighting it. I'm fighting it.
Did he just call him Chris?
Yeah.
Called him by his first name.
That's funny.
And people started commenting on the post and they were like,
why is your son calling you by your first name?
And he actually addressed it.
Oh, yeah. And he said, if you're wondering why my son calls me Chris,
it's because I'm his BFF and true mates don't call each other dad.
Oh, that's really cute.
That's really cute.
Interesting, eh?
Oh, that is interesting.
And I thought, who's my BFF?
Probably my mum.
Yeah.
So I put in a call last night.
My mum's name is Diane Regina Thomasel and decided to test the theory.
Oh, my gosh, yes.
Hello.
Hi, Diane.
How are you going?
Good.
How are you, Diane?
Brianna, why are you calling me Diane?
Oh, I just, you know, thought I'd call to say thank you very much
for the gifts.
The dog said to say thank you to Diane as well.
No, nin nin.
Diane.
Yeah.
Best friends call each other by their first name.
Oh, is that right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Sounds a lot to me.
All right, Diane Regina.
See you later.
Rihanna.
There it is.
Got one out of you.
I've got one.
Love you.
Have a nice night.
All right.
Bye, Diane, you saucy minx.
Rihanna.
See you later, bye.
I think she liked it. I think she liked it.
I think she liked it too.
The way you were talking
almost sounded like
you were talking to a pet.
Hello, Diane.
Hello, Diane.
Oh, here's a good girl, Diane.
Imagine if someone
called their pet Diane.
Oh, that's quite a good one, actually.
That'd be a great name for a pet.
I love it.
I've also wanted to call a pet Damien.
Oh, yeah, Damien?
Yeah, Damien.
Get over here, Damien!
Stop pooing on people's
lawns! Anyway,
I'd advise my mum actually called me
back after that and she goes, can you please
do that again? It was real weird.
Oh, really? She goes, you are my best
friend, but weird. Oh, and that's
true. Okay, she didn't say the best friend part, I just added
that in. Em, we're talking
horrific first dates.
You can still call us on 0800-DIALS-AT-M.
What made it so bad?
Because there would be a million stories out there.
Surely, yeah.
Where it's just a horrific first date.
Yeah.
Someone texted me and they said,
one of the worst Tinder dates I ever went on,
I'd had a really bad curry the night before.
Went back to her house, had to use the bathroom and pooed in the shower.
Oh, my God.
I waffle stomped it down the drain.
I had no other choice.
Oh, my goodness.
But why did they go in the shower?
Like, why were they on the toilet?
You know what I reckon it would have been?
Like, you know how some bathrooms don't have a toilet?
Oh, yeah.
And maybe they've gone into the bathroom.
Oh, to get some peace and quiet.
Or they've thought they've went into the bathroom where the toilet was
and then they're like, oh, there's no toilet here.
It's coming now.
And that's it.
It's game over.
They just had to find a drain somewhere.
Oh, my goodness.
And down it went.
Oh, my goodness. Well, it went. Oh, my goodness.
Well, I just had one of my mates text me, one of my good school friends, her husband now,
who I was with them the day that they met each other.
Cute.
And we'd gone out together.
I forgot about this memory until this very moment when he's messaged me.
He said, first time I stayed over at my friend's house, her mate, Ellie, me, brought a guy over and he spewed all over us and we were all tenting.
Forgot about that.
What do you mean?
What, the guy that you brought back, what, did he just walk into the tent and just like bleh?
No, we were kind of all just sharing tents sort of thing.
And I think he must have been hung over and woke up that next morning and just couldn't hold it in
and just spewed through the tent
that multiple people were sleeping in.
I completely forgot about that.
That's horrendous.
I know.
And it was kind of my fault.
Did you date him after that?
No, that was a bit of a no thank you.
You know what I'm saying?
Was it the spewing in the tent?
Yeah, and there were probably other things
that I didn't love.
The spewing actually wasn't the worst part.
Like the spewing was one of the pros actually.
Ellie, that is the end of day two.
Wow, we've got through two now.
Yeah.
Oh my goodness.
Will they let us come back for a third?
Yeah, well, it's the third and final.
So I guess after that they could never bring me back.
That's what they say. That's what they say. Third and final. Third and final. So I guess after that, they could never bring me back. That's what they say.
That's what they say.
Third and final.
Third and final.
What's everyone doing today?
Anyone got any cool plans?
Producer Claude?
I might have a sleep.
Oh, that sounds awesome, actually.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
Don't copy me, though.
I'm doing that.
Oh, that's your activity.
Yeah, okay.
You have to do something else.
I fell asleep on the couch yesterday.
Did you?
Like, I was just so tired.
Even my laptop was in my lap.
Oh my goodness.
And I've fallen asleep like sitting up and I woke up because my dog was literally giving
me like a patch, like a tongue kiss.
Her tongue was going into my mouth and I was like, I woke up and I was like disorientated
and I was like, what's happening?
And like it was going in my nostrils, in my mouth.
It was disgusting. Oh, she's checking on you. Yeah. She was like, what's happening? And like, it was going in my nostrils, in my mouth. It was disgusting.
Oh, she's checking on you.
Yeah.
She was like, are you alive?
Oh, that's very sweet.
Yeah, it smelled like shit.
What are you up to after the show, Ellie?
I'm actually going to my other job to do that.
Oh, look at you.
I'm just, you know, doing the work of the people.
I'm just, you know, double shift today.
I'm such a big deal. No, I'm just kidding. Yeah, I'm going to my people. I'm just, you know, double shift today. I'm such a big deal.
No, I'm just kidding.
Yeah, I'm going to my job, other job, but it's our last day there.
So it'll be my last day.
Sweet.
And then last day tomorrow here.
Guys, we need to really run amok.
Can I just say, everyone in, producer Ella, come in here for a second.
Get on the mic.
Can we all promise each other the show is called Christmas Chaos.
We're going to cause some serious chaos tomorrow.
Yeah, let's do it.
Keen.
Like I'm talking
let's just change the whole playlist.
Oh yeah.
We could do that.
I mean if we wanted to.
There's not going to be anyone here.
Can we play the Hunger Games soundtrack?
Yeah, of course we can.
Of course we can.
Let's do theme songs.
We can do all the best theme songs. Disney and stuff. Oh, that'll be fun. Lion King of course we can. Of course we can. We can just do theme songs. We can do all the best theme songs.
Disney and stuff.
Oh, that'll be fun.
Lion King will be in there.
Yep, yep.
Whatever you want, tune in tomorrow.
If you're still at work, you're working all the way through,
we will be here with you, and we're going to cause some serious chaos.
So we'll see you then.
Bye.
Bye.
