The ZM Podcast Network. Breeze Christmas Chaos. With guest Ellie Harwood. G'day guys, just gone 6.01. Happy Friday everyone. Let's go! Let's go baby. Merry Christmas.

How many days? It's like three? Three? Three sleeps? Yeah, two, three sleeps. Oh my gosh, maths was not my strong point. Not tomorrow, not the next day, but the next day. Yeah.

Is it three sleeps? Yeah, we would have known this if we had an advent calendar, but the next day. Yeah. Is it three sleeps? Yeah. We would have known this if we had an advent calendar, which I haven't this year. Are you in the type of mode? Oh, jeez, that's how tired I am. Are you all right? This is so slow.

Are you in, do you still live out your best life on Christmas Eve? You know when you, as you get older, you go through that period where you send it on Christmas Eve? Oh, yeah, and then you screw it up for the next day? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know if I've done that recently, actually. Recently? Yeah. Often it's actually a New Year's thing where on the 30th I get a bit excited

and then I have a big old night and then ruin the actual New Year's night. Yeah, but New Year's is never that good. No, it isn't. It's always too much build up. Too much build up. So I say go in the 30s. Why not? It's so funny because when I go back home to where I'm from, small country town, and

we always go to church on Christmas Eve. Like it's always, we go to church and it usually goes for ages. And then me, well, it used to be my sister, but she's got two babies now. And then we all used to go down to the pub and just absolutely get rotten. Fun. I love the paradox between church and then going and getting rotten. It should be the other way around. Get rotten, then go and confess our sins.

Yeah, exactly right. What about you, Claudia? Are you going to be sending it on Christmas Eve? Oh, absolutely. Nice. If I know Claudia. Really? I've got nowhere to be.

Yeah, that's Santa's job. He's got somewhere to be. Not us. Yeah, exactly. We'll be off work. Well, we appreciate you joining us this morning. And we've got a great show planned, including $50 up for grabs right now for Tradie vs. Lady. That's right.

We're going all the way through. The last one of the year. Can you take it out? Winner takes $50 cash home. I read this interesting article on The Herald yesterday, and they were talking about the movie Home Alone. Oh, yes. It always comes up at this time of year, weirdly. And they speak a lot about a lot.

A lot about, oh, my gosh. A lot about a lot. Oh, my gosh. I think I need to. You're still warming up. Yes, sorry to end. You're still warming up. That was horrible.

Continue, Ray. I'll take the rain. Yeah, please take it. They were talking about the McAllisters, which is obviously Kevin's family in the film. Yeah. And how rich that family actually would have been. Oh, yeah.

Considering, because when you watch the movie back when you're older, you're like, God, that's a big house. Like their whole family, so they had five kids, I believe, the McAllisters, and then they had the other family that was staying with them before they headed to the airport. And all the stuff you don't think about, like the brother who lived in France had bought them, the entire family had paid for the entire family to go to France.

Yeah, true. They must be wealthy. And there was four adults that were all in first class. Oh, my goodness. So that family is obviously super wealthy. The McAllisters live in this gigantic home. So let's get into the details of technically how rich, hypothetically, they would have been.

Yeah. So the real house, so the exterior anyway of the actual McAllister house, is in a suburb of Chicago and it's 671 Lincoln Ave. A friend of mine actually just went and visited the house because it's obviously still there. And apparently that suburb in Chicago is one of the most expensive neighbourhoods in the United States. Oh, right.

Wow. So it's fancy. So it's super fancy. And there's an economist who's actually done the math on how much he reckons that house would have been worth and how much the McAllister parents would have had to be earning to be in a home like that. Wow.

And is this in the context of today or in the context of when it came out? Do you know? Yeah, so they've done both. Oh, sweet. Okay, cool. In the context of – so the movie came out in 1990 and they reckon that they

would have had to have a household income of about $305,000 which is about $487,000 New Zealand. Oh, wow. So a combined income to be able to be in that house. That's in 1990. Oh my gosh, so that's a combined income to be able to be in that house, that's in 1990.

Oh, my gosh. So that's a 1990 figure. Yeah. So that's in 1990. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. So then they did the numbers. This was back in 2022 where they reckon a similar house to that one would have cost about, in New Zealand dollars, about $3.8 million. In 1990? No, this is now. Oh, sorry.

Yeah, this is now. Thank God. And they reckon that to be able to afford a household like that in 2022 that you'd need an income, a combined income for the household of $1.16 million. Oh my gosh. What kind of jobs would even get you that much money? I don't know. I don't know if they exist. Do they?

So you'd be in the top 1% Chicago area households. Wow. So that's how rich they portrayed. But you don't really think about that, eh, when you watch the movie? No, you don't. You see them as sort of just a working class family, you know, gone on their yearly holiday. That's kind of what you see.

And then when you really think about, man, there's a lot of bedrooms in that house. Oh, wow, that would have cost a lot. Mate, working class family. I grew up in a working class family. We didn't go to France. We went to Palmerston North. It's Bree's Christmas Chaos.

And, Ella, you're going to tell us about a new way of doing Christmas gifting. Yes. Ho, ho, ho. Here she is. Excuse you. I came across because, you know, I now get a lot of my news or content from TikTok as many of us do. Do you? Yeah, weirdo.

Again, I'm very quirky, very niche. Not many people do it. And I don't know if you follow this girl. I feel like you will because she actually reminds me of you. Elise Myers. Do you follow her? Yeah, love her. She's a great creator on TikTok.

And she has come up with a new way of Christmas gifting. And I think I can get on board this. Claude, I've got some audio there. Do you want to play that? So what if on Christmas, instead of buying everybody else gifts, you just bought your own gift. And then Christmas morning, you wrap up your present, you put put it under the tree and we all gather in a circle and then we watch each other open up our own presents so you're it's a surprise to everybody else and then

you present your gift to the group learn something about everybody there's no money limit because you can spend as much or as little as you want it's your own money it doesn't have to be fair everybody gets what they want and you don't have to feel pressure making sure that your reaction is right every single time you open a present and there's less pressure oh man has she cracked the code i think she has i could get on board that it is inclusive it means you don't have a pressure of yeah the budget you don't have to pretend you like it if you don't my worst nightmare same it's it's so hard to do and you feel bad because they've thought about you and they've got you a gift but sometimes it's just not right.

I'm not an actor. Sometimes the present sucks. Exactly. What are you supposed to do? See, I quite like this idea because again, you can get what you want and you can choose how much money you want to spend on yourself and also you can just see, you can get to know everyone. I thought it was quite nice. What do you reckon? Didn't we have someone on

the show the other morning who was like I always, oh you weren't here but earlier in the week we had someone who said, because we're talking about do you, when you go Christmas shopping before Christmas, like to buy yourself something when you're doing Christmas shopping? Yeah. A lot of

people. And there was this one person who called up and said, yep, every year I buy myself a bunch of stuff, I wrap it up and I put it under the tree and then I'll open it in front of everyone. And didn't she say, I think her name was Claire, didn't she say and then I put a tag on it, to

Claire, you're the actual best, love Claire. I love that! Self love, that's amazing. I was at a friend's house the other night and I saw under her tree, it was like, to Vic, from Vic. And I asked about it. And she's like, yeah, like me and husband,

we're not doing presents this year, but I wanted something to unwrap. So I bought myself exactly what I wanted, put it under the tree, and I get to unwrap it on Christmas morning. There's no difference from someone, because my mum, my mum, bless her, she's very good at Christmas and she always asks all of us kids she's like, what do you want? Send me the things blah blah blah. And so it's no

different to sending her all the stuff to just buying it myself. Exactly right. I love it. I think I might get on board with this next year. It might not be as exciting but those high stakes of not knowing what you're getting and then having to act would all be gone it would all be disintegrated and it would just be, I think it would be lovely.

I think this theory is good. Santa Claus might be out of a job. Oh, yeah, I didn't think about that. Sorry, I mean. Don't tell Santa. Oh, yeah, he'll be devastated. He'll be gutted. He'll be like, what?

They figured it out? They figured it out. It's the best way to do it. Oh, the poor elves will be out of a job too. I feel bad now. Yeah, me too. I've taken everything I said. Yeah, put them back in the workshop.

There was Christmas chaos happening in my world yesterday, Ellie. I'm very curious about this. What happened? So yesterday we, look, my partner and I, we have a very good friend of ours. He's like family to us. And you may recognise stories such as the time he came over and asked if he could have a bath. And four hours later, he was still in the bath.

Oh, my God. There was also the time that he came over and I watched him eat an entire bag of marshmallows in one sitting. And the stories go on and on. I'm talking about our friend Dan, who loves our dog,ney houston him and her have just this special bond she hates everyone else loves him anyway he's gotten into this thing because she's a canned terrier so she's got a lot of hair and um we like to keep her shaggy like because that's that's her and we like her a bit rough and a bit scruffy oh no but coming into summer dan has been taking her to this new groomer and he's like i want to get her her a bit rough and a bit scruffy. Oh, no. But coming into summer, Dan has been taking her to this new groomer

and he's like, I want to get her cut a bit shorter so she's more comfortable. And we're like, yep, sweet. That's all good because we want her to be comfy because she gets hot. Anyway, yesterday he's like, I've booked Whitney in for the groomer. You know, she's going to get a haircut just the same as what she's been getting, where she still looked like her but just a bit shorter.

Yeah. Anyway, he calls me yesterday and he gets a flat tyre and he's like, you need to take her down to the groomers because I can't get there. And I was like, okay, sweet. Where is it? Took her down to the groomers, popped her in there. And anyway, a couple of hours later I go to pick her up. Oh, no. A couple of hours later I go to pick her up. Oh, no.

A couple of hours later I go to pick her up and this dog comes out of the room and I looked at her and then I looked at her again and I went, holy shit, is that my dog? It was that bad? You couldn't even recognise your own dog? I was like, she was so, the hair was so short. Like it was nearly like down to the skin and I thought what's this groomer done he's just taken you know creative control and he's just gone ham on my dog anyway obviously this groomer who's lovely like really lovely people and they do a great job and he's kind of

I think seen the look of shock on my face and And he goes, yeah, he goes, this is what you wanted. Your friend called me and told me to take it as short as possible. Really? Did Dan tell him to do that? My friend Dan has called the dog groomer and told them, take it as short as possible. Oh, my goodness. So now I've got this dog that's bald that's going to be running around the beach in Ha-Ha this summer.

Does she look like a cat? I feel like she looked like a rat is what she looked like, a little rat. Oh, no. Like just completely, you know when you see dogs and they get a groom where they just look like a completely different dog? Yeah, totally. I don't even recognise that dog. Oh, my goodness but the funny thing was is when i was there because i was talking to this guy who owns the grooming shop who's lovely really nice

fella and he and he said to me you know is this and i didn't want to make like he's just doing what he's talking i was like yeah yeah no that's all good i'd forgotten i'd uh told dan to do that i was like dan you're gonna cop it you're going to cop it. You're going to cop it. But the thing that was quite interesting is that the groomer, when he came out, his eyes were so red and puffy and I shouldn't have asked because it's not my business, but I was like, oh, are you okay? Like what happened to your eyes? And this guy said to me, he's like, oh, yeah, he's like,

I'm allergic to dogs. What? You're joking. Nah. What? And I felt so bad for him because he's really good at his job and the haircut's a great haircut. Oh no. But I said, are you serious? I was like, is there anything you can do? Like obviously

you're great at your job and you want to keep working and doing this as a profession, but he could barely see. Oh man, we need to get like a brand deal for him through Zyrtec or something. Just unlimited hay fever tablets. That's awful. Isn't that terrible? Oh my goodness. And it got me thinking about people that are in jobs that might not necessarily agree with them. Like a beekeeper that's allergic to bees. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or, you know, a tradie that is allergic to something that they're using. Yeah. What can tradies be allergic to?

Wood. Wood, maybe? Is there a wood that you can be allergic to? Probably. Like pine? Mate, you can be allergic to anything. Yeah, yeah. Maybe like if you work in retail and you just hate people.

That's probably quite common. I'm allergic to people. Yeah, that's fair enough. I thought we could throw it out there. 0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. What's your job and why doesn't it agree with you? For what reason? Love it.

It was all going down yesterday in my household when my friend Daniel Lavender, that's right, I'm calling you out on the air, Dan, instructed the dog groomer to shave my dog Whitney as short as she can go. And now I've got a brand new dog. I have literally just looked at photos and you were not really exaggerating at all. Like the hair is barely there. And I barely recognise her.

Her colours look different. Yep. She just looks completely different. She looks so, I don't think she recognises herself. No. Yeah. Our other dog, Meryl, she's like, who the hell is this? That's what I was going to say.

Like, what is she? What is this? She's like, who's this new dog? Anyway, something I noticed when I was at the dog groomer is the lovely people at the dog groomers, who were just doing their job, by the way, just doing what they were told. One of them had super puffy eyes and could barely see. And I said, what's going on with your eyes? And he said, oh, I'm allergic to dogs.

And I said, jeez, you picked the wrong job. But, you know, it is what it is. He's good at his job and he's just pushing through. Loves animals, clearly. That's very nice. So we're asking you on 0800DIALSATM, what is your job and does it not agree with you? Let's talk to Mike first. G'day, Mike.

Hey, how you going? We're very good, thanks, Mike. What's your job and why doesn't it agree with you, mate? Well, I'm a car painter, but it's not actually me. It's a colleague of mine and he's colourblind, red-green colourblind. Wow. Right, so he paints cars for a living. I feel like, Mike, correct me if I'm wrong, pretty important to be able to see the colours when you're painting cars.

Yeah, it is. It's quite important, yeah. Yeah, I think that's the whole point, isn't it, is to know what colour you're picking up and then what colour you're putting onto the car. Yeah, I mean, there's certain ones he gets us to do because he just cannot see it at all. It looks brown to him.

Can I just say, what a legend, though. He obviously just figures it out and pushes through, though. Yeah, yeah, he's been in the trade a long time and he didn't realise he was colourblind for half of his career. No way! I wonder if he, do you know, Mike, did he ever make a mistake? Oh, all the time. Oh, my goodness, and all these customers would have been coming back going, I asked for green, but they've make a mistake? Oh, all the time. Oh, my goodness.

And all these customers would have been coming back going, I asked for green, but they've given me blue. I'm not sure why. Oh, no. You know, you take what you can get these days. Appreciate your call, Mike. Thanks for calling through. Thank you.

See you. Someone said, I worked at a pet shop in Ireland and I was allergic to guinea pigs. I've heard a lot of people can be really allergic to guinea pigs. Really? Interesting. I don't think I've ever heard that. Do you reckon guinea pigs are just rabbits without ears?

They look like it, eh? They're pretty similar, eh? It's kind of the vibe, eh? Kind of, yeah. Let's talk to Anonymous. G'day, mate. Hi, how are you? We're good.

Tell us, Anonymous, what was your job and why didn't it agree with you? So I worked in a croissant factory over summer and I have celiac disease, so I'm gluten free. You're kidding. So I was like farting and like hitting my elbows. Oh, bless you, you poor thing, Anonymous. Yeah, that's rough. You didn't have any, like, bad reactions? You managed to sort of stay enough away that you didn't get too...

Oh, nice. Were you specialising in chocolate croissants? Do you have any contacts you could give us, Anonymous? I don't think you'd want those ones. Yeah, no, maybe not, maybe not. Oh, wow. That's such a good job, though. Not if you're celiac, obviously.

No. Well, I didn't really think about it until like a couple of weeks in because I was pretty mild with symptoms. But yeah, a couple of weeks in, I was like, oh, this must be the reason. Keep having to take breaks. Yeah, like when you're in a place that all there is is, you know, gluten.

Yeah, gluten. Anonymous is in full PPE going into work. Yeah, yeah. Oh, thanks, Anonymous. Merry Christmas, mate. You too. Thanks for calling. Someone texted through and said,

I work with planes like at the airport in Z Emirates planes and I'm half deaf with the engine noise. I can't hear a thing. Oh, no. So if it was one coming up behind them, they'd just be run over. You can't over you can't hear a plane engine that's actually probably in some ways quite nice at times yeah i don't know

bit of peace and quiet yeah exactly yeah someone said i'm a dairy farmer but i'm allergic to fur cats dogs and cows but i love my cows so much that i deal with it and just sneeze all the time. Oh, that's cute. Oh, bless you. That is very cute. Someone said, I'm a teacher and I'm allergic to the parents. Yes. Better than being allergic to the kids. Yeah, yeah. The parents you only have to see every now and then.

Once a term maybe. Yeah, but rough night. It's time to play the one second song challenge Time is waiting You only get one second of the song No hesitating You only got one second of the song One second Ellie Harwood on the other side of the desk this morning

We'll get that 50 bucks out to you, Laura. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you guys. Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Thanks, Laura. You too. See you, mate.

Christmas really is chaos, in my opinion. You've got your Friendsmas over here, then you've got your family lunch, then you go into your partner's family's dinner and then you're just racing all over the place. Everyone's stressed. And over the last couple of days, even in the lead up to Christmas, everyone's trying to get organised and get things done. Just not a relaxing time.

And I was doing all these different jobs, some for my partner's family and I was picking up presents and I was dropping them off to families that we're not going to see on the day so they've got their Secret Santa presents and just, you know, all over the shop. Yeah. And the other day I've picked up these presents and I've taken them over to my partner's sister's place who they have three young kids and I've turned up at their house and I just felt so bad for them because it's just chaos and three young kids you know you're

trying to wrangle these little ones and I said to them I was like do you want me to take the two oldest ones off your hands for a couple of hours that is very nice of you to do that you know and I could just tell they were like, that would be great. Please take him. And then I kind of realised, I was like, oh, I was like, can I do this? What do you mean? Am I capable of looking after two young children? I'm a child myself.

That's good that you've got at least a little bit of self-awareness to at least question the decision. Oh, yeah. I was like, should I be trusted? And I thought, no, it'll be fine. I'll be, you know, I'll be great. I've got that maternal Oh, yeah. I was like, should I be trusted? And I thought, no, it'll be fine. I'll be, you know, I'll be great. I've got that maternal instinct, surely, somewhere in me. Anyway, so I've put the two girls in the pram

and we've headed down to the dairy to get an ice block, which was very exciting. We've all got an ice block, which took about 25 minutes because they couldn't decide which one they wanted. I remember those days when you have like a $2 coin back then and you'd be like, all right, which one do I want? And I'd take ages because it was like the biggest decision in the world at that age. It is the biggest decision you'll make at that age.

And anyway, so we eventually all picked an ice block. And then I was like, let's head down to the park and we'll have a play on the park and kick around there for a bit. Anyway, so we went down to the park and the two girls have got off and they know what to do. They've been to the park before, all good. And I just had this immense anxiety like when we were sitting at the park where I've realised that I was in charge

of these two lives. Yes. Where I was like, oh, this is my responsibility. I need to look after these two kids that aren't mine. Yeah. And I think I'm going to be such a helicopter parent if I ever have kids. Like I'm just terrified. I'm just terrified like because the swings at the park are quite high and then like they're

climbing to get up to this slippery dip and it's quite high and I'm just like, guys, be careful. And you know what kids are like, no fear. No, exactly. No fear at all. No. And at one point, and I was trying, you know, I was keeping an eye on both of them and I was just terrified that one of them was going to get hurt.

Yeah. That was just my biggest fear. Yeah. You know, one of them falls off and knocks their teeth out. Who knows? My mind was just running wild. Yeah. You know, one of them falls off and knocks their teeth out or something. Who knows? Yeah. My mind was just running wild. Yeah.

And eventually, you know, I was like, oh, they're fine. You know, they're kids. They're having a good time. And anyway, one of them has ran down the hill to go play on this other thing, which not too far from me. Yeah. But then there's like a concrete path and I kind of said to them, I was like, come on, we're going to go home now.

And the littlest one has started just making a beeline for me, just sprinting as fast as she could and her arms are just going. And she's like a little tornado, this one. She's like a little hurricane. Cute. And at the point where she's gone from grass and she's just running as fast as she can. She's gone grass onto concrete and then she's kind of tripped

and my stomach just sank and she has just ate it, like just ate concrete. Oh, no. And I literally was like, it's over for me. I was like, the police are going to come. They're going to take me in. I'm done here. And I was like, please don't be hurt. Please don't be hurt. Please don't be hurt. And she's

quite resilient, like quite a resilient kid. And so she's kind of got up and I was like, please don't cry. Please don't cry. And she's kind of like went to cry. And then I was like, you all right? And then she's kind of went, yeah, no, I think I'm all good. And then when she's got back to me, I was like checking her because I was like, oh, my God, the last thing I want to do is like deliver this child back with like bumps and scrapes and whatever. Anyway, so I've checked her over. Looks pretty good.

And she had the tiniest little graze on her knee, like tiny. And I felt so bad. I was like, oh, my God, they're never going to let me look after the kids again. Like, it's over for me. That's it. First and last time. And I just felt so bad that I'm going to deliver their child back. And honestly, they wouldn't notice.

Like, it was so tiny. But in your brain, though, eh? You're like, I have taken these kids, but I have not brought them back in the same state they were in. It's so stressful. That weight you realise. I looked after my nephew for the first time a couple of months ago. Terrifying, eh?

Only for two hours. And I just, as soon as his mum left, I was like, oh my gosh. All of a sudden, any move this kid makes. It's me. It's me. If he runs out, gets out off the deck and goes on the road, I would never be able to live myself. And I didn't really realise the weight of

it until I was truly left alone with him. Oh yeah. Oh my goodness. So stressful. Isn't it stressful? Yeah. And then I just thought, oh my god, parents just must feel like this all the time. Yeah. Yeah. Or maybe they just get a little bit like, ah. You know, they must be so stressed. You've got desensitised.

You're like, ah, they've scraped their knee. They'll be fine. Exactly. No, totally. And I think, to be honest, in some ways, letting them fall is actually the best thing because it's the only way they'll really actually learn. But actually letting them fall is the hardest bit.

Yeah. I might give her a push. Well, that 180'd pretty good. Yeah, no. I thought we could ask, though, put it out there, 0800DIALs at M. When was the time that you were looking after someone or something? Maybe it was a kid, maybe it was plants, maybe it was pets.

Oh, yes. And something went wrong. Yeah. Like it wasn't yours and something's gone south. Yeah. And it was under your watch. Yeah. In the lead up to Christmas, Bree's Christmas Chaos,

I looked after my nieces the other day and I just was a ball of anxiety. I was like, these girls are my responsibility. Their lives are in my hands. And one of them was running from grass. She's hit concrete and she's just gone head over heels. And she had the tiniest scrape on her knee, but I just felt so responsible. Yeah. And she was fine.

It was just a tiny little scratch, but just made me think, it's so stressful looking after someone else's thing. It actually is. Called kids things. No, but the possibilities of what could actually go wrong, it's like infinite really. It's scary. My parents,

we had my sister's, I think it was like eighth birthday party. Her best friend was this very beautiful little girl and she was a child model. So she did a lot of like modeling. So her face was her like thing.

You know how ice skating, when people grind in the skate, like on the ice, it creates like a really harsh line. So Paige's friend fell on it, chin right under, right under the chin, sliced it, and we had to take her to A&E. And then for life, so still to this day,

this girl has a scar under it. No. All your parents would have been so devastated. They felt awful, man. Yeah. Horrible. That gives me so much anxiety. I'm never taking my niece's ice skating, ever. That gives me so much anxiety. Oh, same.

I'm never taking my niece's ice skating, ever. Let's go to the phones. Let's talk to Michelle. Hi, Michelle. Hello. Merry Christmas. You too. The chaos is great.

I'm loving the chaos. Oh, good. Yes, Michelle. You're welcome, Michelle. It's going to get even more chaotic after eight, trust me. But we want to know, Michelle, when were you looking after something and what happened? So I looked after a little boy

for the very first play date my five-year-old son had ever had and I said to him okay, I really want you to stay inside because nothing can go wrong inside. Outside is so dangerous and there's so much sun and so much everything inside. Yes, yeah. And the little boy he had over had this really tight sort of curly, beautiful

hair and my son decided that he would like to play Thomas trains with him and held a motorised Thomas tank engine train over his head. No! It took in all these curls right on the top of his head. And it's just going... And so I tried to ring his mum to say, look, what can we do here? It happened quite quickly.

So I had to cut some of it. You're joking. To release the train. Michelle, you left him with a bald spot. Yeah, I probably should have just let him go outside and fall off. Michelle's like, I should have let him go outside. Oh, no. Oh, bless you.

You're not a bad person, Michelle. These things happen. They do. Just a bad hairdresser. See you, Michelle. Have a good morning. Thanks, Michelle. A couple of texts, great texts coming through.

Someone said, was looking after my in-law's dog whilst he recovered from a leg operation that cost $4,000. When I took him out to the toilet on his lead, he did a massive turn and busted the other leg. Another $4,000. You're drunk. I was mortified and I cried. Never offered to look after him after surgery again.

Fair enough. God. That's terrifying. That is so terrifying. Oh, my gosh. Let's talk to Ryder on 0800 dials a day. Morning. Good morning.

Tell us, Ryder, what were you looking after and what happened? I was looking after my nephew, which was a normal thing because of the hours between me and my brother and my sister-in-law. And normally they'd leave to go to work on a Saturday. They'd lock the door up. I'd normally have a bit of a snooze and ask the window to come in and get me if he needed to. I went to sleep and I woke up to a policeman standing in my bedroom doorway asking if I had lost something.

And I was like, what do you mean have I lost something? And then I stopped for a second and I was like, where is my nephew? And it turned out he'd gone, we lived in a cul-de-sac. He'd gone through the cul-de-sac. He was on his way to Daycare, which was like a massive main road in Aussie. And if he'd gone on there, we would have just, it could have been absolute chaos. And I had to tell my brother and I was freaking out. And I called my mum and mum was like, we used to lose you kids all the time.

I'm like, yeah, but this was, I thought they were, I literally thought I was going to get disowned by my brother. I was just in absolute shock. And I'm going, oh, my gosh, like what on earth just happened? You poor thing. How old was he? Did you say Ryder? Three. He was three.

Oh, wow. He was three. That's young. He was a little adventure on that one. God, yeah. Next time you looked after him You just had to like strap him to a chair or something Oh mate, that door was closed And I was like, I'm just staying awake

And we're going to make sure you do not Go for a wander today on your own It just happened to be that there was a gentleman Out in our street That saw him and thought it was a bit strange That a kid was wandering around Oh my god Yeah, that is the most terrifying story I've ever heard our streets that saw him and thought it was a bit strange that a kid was wandering around. Oh, my God. Yeah, that is the most terrifying story I've ever heard.

I'm so glad everyone was okay. Thanks for calling, Ryder. Thanks, Ryder. See you. You too, mate. See you. Someone on 9696 said, I was babysitting three boys under seven. I turned my head for a second and they pulled out all of the pet fish and were holding them and playing with them.

Oh my gosh. They said also, I'm someone who is scared of fish. Oh no. Can you imagine they just all holding the fish? Oh, the poor fish. Three boys under seven. That is chaos. Yeah, for sure. One more. Let's talk to Angus. Hi, Angus. Hey, Angus. How's it going? Good. We're good, thank you, mate. Tell us who or what were you looking after and what happened? Okay, so I hope you don't judge me on this, but okay. Oh, no, here we go.

Uh-oh. My little brother, he borrowed a duck from the lake. Borrowed a duck? Borrowed a duck. A little baby duck. How did he even catch it? Yeah. I have no idea.

He just catches anything. And so he always slept with the baby duck. And then I was like, ah. I was looking after it one day. And then I was like, I may as well have a sleep with the duck. This story, what is going on? Okay, you keep going. And well have a sleep with the duck. This story, what is going on? Okay, you keep going. And then I fell asleep with the duck and then I woke up and I was like, oh, where's the duck?

And then rolled over a little bit and, yeah, I squashed the duck. No, Angus, no. Oh, this is graphic. Oh, my goodness. Oh. Sorry for all the vagans out there, but, yeah. Oh, Angus, no! This is graphic. Oh, my goodness. Sorry for all the vegans out there, but yeah. Oh, Angus. Oh, that's sad.

That sucks, man. You killed Donald. Oh, Donald. Oh, Angus. What did you say to your nephew? Your little brother, I mean. Oh, man, I was like, oh, Grayson, I've squashed your duck.

He was just not having it. He was like, no, no, you haven't. And then he came to see the duck and he was like, my duck. Angus, what did we learn? What did we learn? We don't sleep. Don't sleep with ducks. Doc a la roche.

Don't sleep with ducks. Mate, have a good Christmas Merry Christmas Thanks Angus Seriously What the duck What the duck indeed We're going to do

What's your birthday? The 3rd of February, 1983. All right, Linda. That means you were 16 in 1999. I feel like there's some rippers in 99, but here's yours. Yeah. The absolute OG from Britney. That is a banger.

Can't go wrong. You like that one? It's a banger. I'm not sure I loved it in 1999, but I have an appreciation for it now. Oh, nice. Don't we all, Linda? I feel like it's a part of, you know, our history. It is.

That's right. It really is. The millennial history. Exactly. All right, stick around, Linda. We've got one more to do for Hazel. Morning, Hazel. Morning.

How are you going? Good. How are you? Good, thank you. Merry Christmas. Oh, Merry Christmas. Are you still at work, Hazel? I'm still are you going? Good. How are you? Good, thank you. Merry Christmas. Oh, Merry Christmas. Are you still at work, Hazel? I've been at work for the year.

Last day for you too? Yeah. Oh, yes. Nice, Hazel. Well, let's get you there. Let's give you a little push with your birthday banger. What's your date of birth? 17th July, 1992.

All right, Hazel. That means you were 16 in 2008. And back on that day, this was at the top. I kissed a girl and I liked it. The taste of her cherry chapstick. That was huge in 2008.

It sure was. What do you reckon Hazel? Katy Perry, I kissed a girl. Big fan. Big fan then, big fan now. Yeah. Big fan. I agree, Hazel. I think it's an absolute tune.

It is. I think this might be my birthday being a two, because I'm the 3rd of August, 92. So that's like two weeks. Yeah. There you go, eh? It was number one for multiple weeks. Yeah. Yeah.

And it was so scandalous back in 2008, wasn't it? It was. It was, yeah. Or that woman singing about kissing other girls. That's outrageous. Who is she? My goodness. Alright, it's time to vote.

Okay. They're actually all really good songs today. Like, I'm struggling with this. I think, for me currently, it's actually between Baby One More Time and Reese Mastin

because I love, I do love that Reese Mastin song. So I might just chuck my vote to Goodnight Reese Mastin. What do you think, Brie? that Reece Mastin song. So I might just chuck my vote to Goodnight, Reece Mastin. What do you think, Brie? I am a Mastinator. You are.

And I'm going to have to go with you on Reece Mastin, Goodnight, which means, Zoe, you've taken out the last birthday banger of the year. Woo! Woo-hoo, yeah! And just for you, Zoe, as your Christmas present, we're going to play Reece Mastin right now. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Rees Mastin, good night. Just looking for a good night. Whoa. That's your birthday banger. Last birthday banger of the year. We had to do it. I love that one. And I love it because he's

an artist that only had a couple of songs so it's really niche and special when it comes. I mean hope Rhys isn't listening right now. Yeah, love you Rhys. He is touring at the moment. Well yeah, okay what I meant by, okay I'm going to stop talking because I'm just going to dig it. He had a couple of bangers. He did. Back in that day. That'd be my top two. Yeah.

Yeah. Nah, he was great. He was great. It's such a throwback like nostalgia to Rhys M top two. Yeah. Yeah. Nah, he was great. He was great. It's such a throwback, like nostalgia to Reece Meston. Yeah. There it is. This one. Oh. Oh, yeah.

He needs to tour New Zealand. I'd go. I would. Maybe he has and we didn't realise. Yeah, did we not realise? We're not getting the marketing promo because we're not young anymore, so we're not seeing the ads. Yeah.

Speak for yourself. Actually, I'm older than you. Look, Christmas fast approaching. How many sleeps? Three. Three. Three to go. Three sleeps to go.

We thought this morning that we could do a bit of a PSA, maybe do a bit of a class that might help a few people listening that feel like us when they're opening presents. Yeah, so when I'm opening a present, I always, since I was a kid, you feel like the whole world's looking at you. It might be only four people in the room, but you just feel like everyone is looking at you and that moment where the paper reveals exactly what you've received, you're sort of going, okay, I hope I like it because then it's a genuine reaction.

If I'm not too sure, I'm going to have to practice my best. Thank you. And it's that moment where you just go, have I done too much? Have I gone too far? So we thought this morning we're going to practice our best. Oh, I love it. Just whatever you want to say that you think will be convincing if you open a gift that you probably are going

to return. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Where's the exchange card for this one? I love it. But just in case, where is the receipt? Where would I find that?

Now, look, this sounds negative as I'm always grateful for every single gift that I get. So don't think that I'm... Some are crap. Just kidding. But I'm not kidding. Sometimes it's just not exactly what you were thinking or, you know. Yeah. I'm just awkward at receiving gifts.

Oh, same. One of my favorite things in the whole world, giving gifts. You like giving but not receiving? Hate. Yeah. Is that true? I'm a giver, not a receiver. Across the board or? You know, I am.

Sorry. No comment. Yeah, no comment. Nice. No, I'm... Sorry. No comment. Yeah, no comment. Nice. No, I'm the same. I love giving a gift. Oh, jeepers. You're the same?

Yeah, love giving a gift, but receiving, I feel very awkward. It's a very awkward moment for me. I don't know. Well, let's practice. Yes, producer Ella. I was just going to say, I'm the same as you guys, but recently I've decided for a genuine reaction, if it's like genuine actually or not, just pause. Because then you're like overcome with emotion.

So that's how I'm going to take it. What if it's like a floaty or something? Well, a floaty. She'd love a floaty. Yeah, I love the pool. But you'd be overcome with emotion. You'd go, oh my gosh., I love the pool. But you'd be overcome with emotion. You'd go, you'd go, oh my gosh.

I'll do it when we practice. Okay, nice. That's not bad. So you're going with more of a delayed sort of pause. Take it slow. Don't say too much. Yeah, anyway, I'll perform for you soon. Okay. I love it. Who wants to go first? Do we have any wrapping paper sounds that we can like get ourselves

in the frame of mind? Really feel it. Yeah. I want to hear Ella's one because she's done a big tease here now. I'll start with Ella. I'd start with Ella. Okay. You're going to open the gift.

Okay. I'm opening it. Russell, your packet of mango, Ellie. Oh, yes. My packet. Nice, Ella. Got some paper here. Some foley.

Perfect. Okay. Ready? Oh, my gosh. Ellie. Stop. What? What? Oh my gosh. Oh, oh, Ellie. Stop. What? A pack of

Mentos? That is so kind. You know I love that. That is, wow, you're very thoughtful. Boom, baby. Sounds pretty good.

Love it. Okay, what do we think? Okay, first of all, pretty good. Why did you pick me? Do you think

I would give you a shit gift? You look cheap. Yep. You look cheap. Yeah. You look cheap. I think great. Yeah. Thank you. I think pull it back a touch.

Okay, fair. And it's perfect. Yeah, I reckon maybe, yeah, a little bit less. I think you kept talking a bit too long and I was really under- I thought my mentos wasn't that great in the end. When people lie, they say too much. Yeah. Oh, that's true.

Yeah. There you go. Okay, do you want me to go next? Okay. Okay. Do you want to- can you rustle? much. Oh, that's true. Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay, do you want me to go next? Okay. Okay, do you want to, can you rustle? Okay. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, whoa. I, how did you know that I needed fresh wiper blades? I mean, it's just such a great gift because it takes that job off my plate. Love it. I believe it. Okay. No. From the O, from your first word. Yeah, but I was doing realistic, like when you're disappointed,

to then try and transition up. So you've got to go from flat to up. I see what you've done. You sounded a little bit sarcastic. And also the over explaining of I know exactly what I could do with this this has taken all of the thought out of what I have to do with my cup. That's what I do

though when I get something where I'm like oh this will be great. I can use this for this. Yeah. Yeah. Let's be real over shit. Yeah it wasn't great. So whatever if you're listening don't do what Breach does. Yeah I was doing what not to do.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, all right. Claude, do you want to go next or should I go next? Yeah, unwrap something for me. Okay, all right. Okay, what could this be? You didn't. Days of the week undies.

How did you know? Pretty good. Yeah, that's actually pretty good. And then that was it. Yeah, she stops. See, my biggest problem, though, is I do the same reaction whether I like it or not. I'm just like, I need to ham it up either way. Even if I genuinely love it, I'll be like, oh, wow, this is amazing.

And then it comes out sarcastic. Right, yeah, so you've got like a consistent script you use across the board no matter what the gift is. So you're almost not even looking at the gift. You're just opening. Doing the moment. And then living with the gift. I feel like I'm similar to that actually. Do you feel like you should avoid saying lies?

Like, I love it. Or fantastic. Or you go, oh, you shouldn't have. Yeah, you say stuff like, oh, yeah, I am into that. In theory, I don't want to lie but in terms of it actually not like it just comes it's just a reflex isn't it this is something isn't it i love it okay i'll go okay here we go oh oh my gosh i'm so slow with unwrapping oh my god sorry i don't want to roll the wrapping paper oh my gosh oh gosh. Oh, you're that person. Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my gosh. How did you know? Thank you so much. I did need deodorant. My nickname is Smelly Ellie after all. Wow, you really nailed that. No, I'm sounding sarcastic. I hate it.

It sounded good. You were okay. Why do I feel like I've seen that reaction multiple times in real life? Every present you ever got me, have I done that? Yeah. Yeah, I got you that got me, have I done that? Yeah, I got you that Kylie Jenner lip kit and that was the exact reaction. I've been exposed. Just throwing in a few Christmas songs.

It wasn't on the playlist, but it is Brie's Christmas Chaos. Exactly, and we have one more Christmas song, don't we, Brie? We've got one more and it's the most exciting of all of them. Oh, no. So just full transparency, we wanted to do a full-blown Friday Okie today. That was the plan. But in the lead up to Christmas, there's people who are busy, people who go on holidays early, and we weren't able to.

Yeah. But we didn't want you to miss out. Yeah, we wanted you to get our songs and ears. The reality, Ellie Harwood is a fantastic singer. She's very, very good. Me, you've heard it before, horrendous. And that's when there's a professional

audio engineer doing his magic behind the scenes, let alone doing it live so much worse. Yeah, look, you're quite nervous about this and I will say, I'm proud of you for doing this. Brie really doesn't want to do this, just inside. She're quite nervous about this and I will say I'm proud of you for doing this Brie really doesn't want to do this

just inside she's quite nervous about it because there's no production behind it this is just all live baby

all live all raw I'm going to raw dog it Ellie I wanted to do it for you because you're so good

and people should hear your voice and they should enjoy it that's a lot of pressure now I don't know the song hugely well but I'll see what I can do.

Mate, we'll just give it a hoon. Yeah, we'll just give it a hoon. Give it a hoon. The song that we've chosen is Santa Baby by Gwen Stefani. Quite renowned for being quite a saucy Christmas song. Oh, it's saucy, isn't it? So, okay, here we go. It's chaos. We need to portray that it's chaosy, isn't it? Oh, okay. Here we go. It's chaos.

We need to portray that it's chaos. It's a bit of fun. It's just fun. Please be kind. This is live Santa baby Gwen Stefani. You ready? It's a duet. Yeah, it's a duet.

We're doing it as a duet. Yeah. You should take majority of it. Okay. Here we go. Okay. Oh, no. You got this.

Oh, my God. of it. Okay, here we go. Oh no. You got this. Woo! Yeehaw! Okay, got it. Santa baby slip a tree for me. Being an alpha good girl.

Santa baby. So hurry down the trip tonight. That's great. Nice. Oh no. Santa baby. A 54 convertible to

light blue. I'll wait for you Dear Santa baby So hurry down the chimney tonight I'll be waiting up Think of all the fun I missed It's you, that's you.

Oh, it's me. Then I'm kissed. Next year I could be as good. If you'll check off my Christmas list. Naughty. Santa baby. I want a yacht and really that's not a lot. That's awful.

Been an angel all year. Santa baby. So hurry down the chimney tonight. We should have practiced that, shouldn't we? Yeah, that was awful. That was really bad. No, I was awful. You were great.

I don't even know the timings of the lyrics. Hello there. I love Friends and I mean, I love my friends but I also love Friends, the TV show. Quite a niche.

Not many people like Friends. No, I'm quite quirky like that. Yeah, it's pretty different. Quite quirky. I came across this Reddit theory. It was just by a Reddit user and they've theorised that each friend represents one of the seven deadly sins. So the deadly sins are, do you know what they are?

Or should I just read them? Oh, wait, you get some. Gluttony. Yes. Passive aggressiveness. Yep. That would be you. No, I'm not.

I'm just kidding. Just kidding. Gutted. Oh, man. No, this'm not. I'm just kidding. Just kidding. Gutted. Oh, man. No, this is a joke. Go get roasted. Just before going on holiday. Oh, I love you.

No, yeah, I love you too. Yeah, that didn't look genuine. She's giving me a text in. You're my favourite person in the whole world. Uh-oh, Claude. She's gone scary. She's gone way passive-aggressive. Okay, so the seven deadly sins are sloth, greed, lust, gluttony, pride, wrath, and envy.

Okay. Okay. So obviously this is just a theory, but I thought it kind of had some legs. All right, let's talk about it. Okay, so Chandler is sloth. So he doesn't like his job, stays there for eight years, reasonably, you know, lazy and all that kind of stuff. He's pretty, he stays with Janice for ages because, you know, he's just kind of sloth.

Exactly. So Chandler's sloth. Rachel is greed because she's driven by money. She came from money. She's a rich, materialistic girl. Blah, blah, blah. Rachel greed. Oh my goodness. That's amazing. Phoebe is lust because she's kind of the free-spirited, fun.

Whimsical. Yeah, loving one. She has a few partners throughout the seasons and stuff like that. You know she always ends up with the weirdos? Yeah. Have you noticed that? That's like a common. And then she ends up with Mike. Sorry, spoiler.

Oh, Jeepers. Sorry, guys. Jeepers. Sorry. Ends up with Mike who is a lovely, normal dude, which is nice. Yeah. Oh, I love Phoebe. She's so quirky, just like me.

She would love friends. Joey is gluttony. I mean, he just eats. He just eats and eats. He is the epitome of gluttony. Exactly. Say no more there. Monica is pride.

She's obsessive. You know, like she likes to be a clean house and all that kind of thing. Takes a lot of, yeah, pride in herself. And she's super competitive. And there's that too. Yes. Like that which comes into pride. Yeah.

She hates losing. Can't lose. Exactly. Ross is wrath because, you know, he just, he, lovely, but he'll come in and just lose it. Like, my sandwich. Or. Unagi. Yeah, exactly come in and just lose it. Like, my sandwich! Or unagi.

Yeah, exactly. He'll just be fine. And then the next second, he is a storm coming through, you know? Totally. And then the final debate, Sin, is up for debate. But they think that Envy is the audience. It's us. Because we wish we were them.

Oh, yeah. You know? We wish we had that friend group. Yeah, I thought it was quite cool. That is. What's Gunther? So that was another theory. They thought that Gunther might have been Envy, because he wants had that friend group. Yeah, I thought it was quite cool. That is. What's Gunther? So that was another theory. They thought that Gunther might have been Envy

because he wants to be with Rachel. 100% he's Envy. Yeah, so there's that theory too. But I thought it was quite cool that it was us because to be honest, I wish I was in that friend group. I've got Bree, but I mean, she's all right. Who would you be? Because you always discuss that in your friend group,

don't you, Producer Claude? You would have discussed. you always discuss that in your friend group, don't you, Producer Claude? Like, you would have discussed. We always discuss it. Like, my partner and I always talk about who we would be. Yeah. And I always say who she would be and she gets really angry about it. Who would she be? She's 100% Bonnie.

Yeah. Who are you? I don't know. Like, I feel like other people need to tell you who you are. Yeah, okay. I think you are. Oh, careful now. Yeah, Like, I feel like other people need to tell you who you are. Yeah, okay. I think you are. Oh, careful now. Yeah, no, I'm scared.

No, who are you? You're an interesting one. I almost think you could be Chandler. Yeah, lazy. Lazy is all sin. No, you know, just funny. You're definitely Phoebe. Yeah, I think I'm a weird mix of Phoebe and Monica.

Yeah, actually. You've got a lot of Monica traits. Yeah, I have neurodivergent tendencies, but also I'm a little bit free and floaty as well. Okay, and what about producer Claude? I'm really worried that I might be Ross. Which of the ones? Yeah, no one wants to be Ross.

No, I think I want to be a Chandler, but I might be a Ross. And producer Ella, we one wants to be Ross. No. I think I want to be a Chandler, but I might be a Ross. And produce Ella.
