Starting point is 00:00:00 For a few years in the 1970s, the Mr. Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of plague.

Starting point is 00:00:32 ZM's Brian Clint, all thanks to KFC. Grab a free KFC bucket hat with purchase of a regular or large summer bucket. Tonight, we are going to witness the most anticipated show in the history of professional radio. Zedium, Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Good evening, everybody. Brie and Clint. The Zedium studios here that we work out of look out to quite a nice courtyard. And there's someone just outside the window who's taken their laptop outside to work. Do you want me to go see what she's Googling? Well, no, this is my point. I've done that before. I'm like, oh, nice day. I should get outside and do some work.
Starting point is 00:01:10 There's no way she can see anything on that screen right now. I'm going to go see if I can see what she's Googling on. Have you ever tried to use your laptop outside? Girls, have you used your laptop outside? It sounds nice. It's a squinter's nightmare trying to see that thing out in daylight. Very romantic, but in reality. She's fully writing emails and sending them.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Wow, that's impressive. I'm watching her. She's typing and everything. You really need to find a spot of shade, like under a tree. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Why is she outside? Is she vaping? Smoking ciggies.
Starting point is 00:01:37 I don't think so. One time when I was young, we dragged, you know when TVs, Ella wouldn't have been alive, but TVs used to have the huge back on them, Ella. They used to be really big. And one time we decided, it was the middle of summer, and we decided to drag this TV out into the pool area. And I'm not joking when I say it was one of the hardest things we've ever done. We lugged this thing up the stairs to the pool area
Starting point is 00:02:01 and then got it sorted and then plugged it in. Anyway, it was so glary you couldn't see a thing. Couldn't see a thing, yeah. So we pretty much just listened to the cricket on the TV because you couldn't see it. You couldn't see TVs at all back in the day, during the day. Yeah. You had to pull the curtains. Even these days they're pretty glary.
Starting point is 00:02:16 I saw someone say that TVs are one of the only technology items that have got cheaper over the years. Everything else has got more expensive. But TVs, if you wanted to buy a 40-inch, well, first of all, you couldn't buy a 40-inch TV. But they were thousands of dollars. Yeah. And now you get one from the warehouse for, I don't know, a couple hundred bucks.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Not if you want that top-of-the-line, premium, market 3D TV. Oh, 3D curved? Yeah, 3D curved TV. They're the really sought after ones. Today on the show, lots of fun, but the main thing we need to address is this heated battle going on in Tradie vs Lady. The Tradies yesterday were told they need to win all but one
Starting point is 00:02:58 to take out the year. Yes, correct. And they lost yesterday. That doesn't mean it's all over. It's not all over yet. They do need to win every game from here though. They have to win every game, yeah. They can't mean it's all over. It's not all over yet. They do need to win every game from here, though. They have to win every game, yeah. They can't drop a game from here.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Can the tradies get off on the right foot today? Oh, $800 is it? And we need one tradie and one lady. Who's it going to be? Give us a call. Bree and Clint. It's tradie versus lady. Three, two, one, let's go.
Starting point is 00:03:27 It's what the people keep coming back for, Clint, to see who is going to take out the deciding year of tradie versus lady. Mama Di was on the blower to me this morning, just being like, oh, who's going to do it? I hope the tradies win today so they keep some in it. Yeah, I don't mind who wins. I would like the tradies to take it all the way, though. Like, right to the end.
Starting point is 00:03:48 You know, a couple more wins. I still want to be... It's a big ask. I want this to still be a competition next week. Yeah, 100%. That's what you want. The tradies need to win every single game right up until next Friday. And that will be our decider. Our lady is calling from Te Amutu.

Starting point is 00:04:49 Yeah, that's what I was doing. Yeah. What's the hardest part about water polo? Getting a horse in the pool. I've never played in it. That would be quite difficult. Horses are quite good swimmers. Joseph, you need to move around a bit.
Starting point is 00:05:02 You've got puru reception. Do you reckon we can try and make it a bit better? Is that better? A little bit. Can you take us off speaker? You sound like you're calling us from 1972. Yeah, you sound like you're calling us from the jet ski. Get in the DeLorean, Joseph.

Starting point is 00:07:53 Bree and Clint. God, it's close now. How many days till Christmas? 14. Is it? I think so. 14 producers? Yeah, it's the 11th, so yeah, 14.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Oh, that was quick from me. Slash, I looked at the whiteboard where Ella had written it. Oh, she updates that every day, and that's the first time we've referenced it in 60-something days. Yeah, it started in the 70s. Did it? On the long road. Actually so impressed that you remember to update that every day.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Well, it's in big writing, and Clint pretending to Google it. Mate, it's on the whiteboard. Yeah, I was going to check. I always like to fact check. Yeah. That's fine. Yeah, I was going to check. I always like to fact check. Yeah. That's fine. Yeah. You can check.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Well, we can do 14. We can do 25 minus 11 in our head, so. Huh? What? Why would you do 25 minus 11? Because it's the 11th of December and Christmas is on the 25th. It's too much for them. I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Okay, just man you, Claude. Move on. You know how I don't like to do maths on this show. I'm with you, Bree. It's very, very close now. 14 days till Christmas, till the big guy comes, Santa Claus. Yeah, we've established that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:52 I'm going to strangle this guy before the end of the year, eh? It's my goal. You're being, I reckon, like you're always annoying, don't get me wrong. But the last couple of weeks, producers producers can you back me on this? He's trying to upset us. It hurts. It's because you guys are very wind-up-able at the moment. You've got short wecks. Don't make me turn
Starting point is 00:09:14 on you and I'll try and wind you up. You don't want that. It's so easy for me. I know how to do it in three seconds and I'm very pleasant in this studio and have been for a number of years. There's something I hold in or I'm very pleasant in this studio and have been for a number of years. There's something I hold in or I'm very, very
Starting point is 00:09:29 polite. Not in the three o'clock hour. We don't talk about that while there's children listening. We don't talk about that while there's children listening. Farts? Oh, you're talking about doing that. What were you talking about? Nothing. What. What were you talking about? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:09:46 What the hell were you talking about? Nothing. Anyway, we move on. I was reminiscing last night with my partner. We were talking about the best Christmas gifts we ever got as kids. Because there's never, like, Christmas is never as exciting
Starting point is 00:10:02 when you get older. Kids lap it up now the best time. Like it's still good. Don't get me wrong. Christmas is still great. But as a kid, Christmas is the day. Well, Christmas is for kids. So you shouldn't expect Christmas to be as good as it was.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Who said it's for kids? The world. Christmas. No way. Santa. No way. Christmas is for kids. Santa still comes to me.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Yeah, but. He hasn't come to you for quite a few years, but that's your own fault. Fair enough. That's your own fault. What is the greatest gift you ever got as a kid? I know exactly what it is. As soon as you say that, I go straight back to the Christmas that it happened. We woke up.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Dad had got an old sheet and he'd covered it in tinsel and he'd draped it over a second hand 50cc scooter that he'd bought it in tinsel and he'd draped it over a secondhand 50cc scooter that he'd bought. He had no rego or warrant. He gave us a scooter and a helmet and it was for us three boys to share and it was the greatest Christmas present we ever received. See? It doesn't take much.
Starting point is 00:10:57 It was a total dunger, but it started every time. That's what you want as a kid. That's the key. That is the key. Out of a toy motorbike. Yeah. Yeah. Greatest Christmas present ever. Motorbike, scooter. Scooter. Say still, you want as a kid. That's the key. Out of a toy motorbike. Greatest Christmas present ever. Motorbike, scooter. Scooter.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Say still same thing as a kid. Had a motor and two wheels, okay? That's all you need. What's your greatest Christmas present ever? My dad did get us, he bought us a 1963 Toyota Corolla. Oh, yeah? It was a cool looking car and that was the car I learnt to drive in when I was about 11. But other than that. A paddock basher. Yeah. Yeah. It was a cool-looking car, and that was the car I learned to drive in when I was about 11.
Starting point is 00:11:26 But other than that – A paddock basher. Yeah. Yeah. Which that was the first of a few because we crashed most of them. That's what they're for, though. That's what they're for. Yeah, that's not what Dad said.
Starting point is 00:11:37 He was pretty upset. We bent the axle on that one. What kind of father gets angry that an 11-year-old crashes the car you gave them? What do you expect the 11-year-old to do with the car? He was upset because he's like, no kids of mine will not be good enough drivers that you can't do a handbrake. Yeah, but at 11? Handbrake slide into one of the dirt roads and not hit the apple trees. Yeah, but at 11?
Starting point is 00:12:03 Yeah. Yeah. It was pretty good. But in terms of like one of the greatest presents that I can remember, and I reckon the best presents are the ones that you use all Christmas Day and you're like just itching to, you know, is the Game Boy. It was Game Boy Color. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:23 And along with it, Santa also gave us, me, I got Pokemon Blue. Yeah. And my brother got Pokemon Red and we played it all day on Christmas Day. That was one of the greatest Christmas presents ever. Absolutely. So good. I reckon, because you're showing your age with Game Boy, but I reckon if you gave it to a kid these days, it would go just as hard.
Starting point is 00:12:43 I bought one a few years ago and replayed it. Yeah, you bought one of those Timu ones, eh, with all the built-in games. No, I bought a refurbished Game Boy. Oh, really? Yeah, and I bought Pokemon Blue and I replayed it again. Still good? Just as good as I remember. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Let's reminisce. Oh, $800 a day. What do you reckon is the greatest Christmas gift you ever received? Yeah, what is it? What's the gift that sticks out to you where you're like, oh. And no one call up and say, a loving family. Okay, we know. Food on the table.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Shelter. For us all to be all together. We know, but that's when we want to talk about toys and stuff. Grandma lasting another Christmas. Free and Clint. What's the greatest Christmas present you ever got? Have you got an amazing gift
Starting point is 00:13:33 recently, like in your adult years that you can remember? Oh, don't put me on the spot. You don't remember anything you got, did you? Yes, I did. Yeah, I did. Yeah? Oh, I couldn't choose. I couldn't bear to choose.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Don't make me choose. I can choose. It was my PS5. Oh, did you get it for Christmas? Well, I mean, Christmas birthday is a joint present. From who? From my partner. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Yeah, greatest gift ever. You hate joint presents, but if it's a PS5, you're okay with it? But if it's that good, then I'm okay. Oh, you hate people cheaping out and going, it's for both. Exactly. But if you go hundy on a big present then I'm completely fine with it. Okay, that's good to know where the line is. No, not for you
Starting point is 00:14:16 guys. No, no. Yeah, noted. No. I've got her for Secret Santa, so I'm looking to get out of her birthday as well. How dare you? We want to know what's the greatest Christmas present you ever received. Aaron's caught up. G'day, Aaron.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Hi, Aaron. Hey, how are you going? What was the greatest gift you ever got, Aaron? So it was a yellow CD Walkman back in the days, and I got the Now 5 CD to go with it. Oh, great. How good. Claudia, can you please quickly Google what was on Now, that's what I call music volume five,
Starting point is 00:14:45 so we can really evoke some memories here. Aaron might recall. Do you remember any of the songs that were on it, Aaron? I can only, I think it was on there. It was Mumbo No. 5. Oh, what a year. Showing the age a little bit, yeah. What a year that was.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Can you picture Aaron rocking around Christmas Day with his yellow CD Walkman? Remember when you used to tap it? Yeah, you had the anti-shock, yeah. Going around to all the aunties? Jessica, here I am. Good memories. Thank you, Aaron.

Starting point is 00:15:29 Yeah We're asking what's the greatest Christmas present you've ever received Someone said my best gift was a bright pink 10 speed bike I was 10 years old and that was my freedom I rode it everywhere I feel that to my core I got my 10 speed for my birthday I think I got it for. I feel that to my core. Me too. How bloody good. I got my 10 speed for my birthday.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I think I got it for my 10th birthday. And I felt like I had been given the keys to the world. You know? I never got a new bike. Didn't I? Just got my sister's hand-me-downs. Yeah, but you got a PlayStation for Christmas, so. When I was 30-something.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Someone texted and said, my greatest ever Christmas present was my divorce in 2007 Congratulations That's a big deal It went through on Christmas? Like what lawyer is finalising divorce papers on December 25th? I mean a good lawyer obviously One that wants to give great Christmas gifts
Starting point is 00:16:16 Yeah fair enough Someone else said my series 8 Apple Watch Okay That's not bad Laser guns Oh we got laser guns as kids. With those chest packs that you wore? So fun. What was it called? Laser
Starting point is 00:16:30 strike. Laser force? Laser force. Laser something. Laser strike. They had a huge moment, didn't they? And did you have the little drone that drove around as well? The drone? Yeah, they put out a drone that drove around and you could do practice shots with it. It kept moving.
Starting point is 00:16:45 We used to play on the farm and, to be honest, my brother would hide all day, like up the paddock. I'm like, you're ruining the game. Like, it's not meant to go for three hours. He's putting cow shit on his face. Someone said my best ever Christmas present was a harmonica. What kind of evil relative gives someone else's kid a harmonica for Christmas? That's terrible.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Someone else said a chattering and a doodle bear. Remember doodle bears? Doodle bears! And you put them in the washing machine when you want to start all over. Start all over again. Yeah. Can't call a toy doodle bear anymore, can you? No. It sounds too dodgy.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Someone said, I got a Hulkmania workout set when I was nine. So cool. Nine-year-old on the roids. What's a Hulkmania workout set? Hulkamania from the Hulk. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Someone's remembered Skip It.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Do you remember Skip It? Nah. What was Skip It? You put it around one leg. It's the plastic thing and it's got the ball on the end of it and you go around and around. You've got to jump over it with one foot and it counts how many times it's gone around.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Oh, nah. I don't remember that. You know them, eh, Claudia? Yeah, I had one and I could never get it working. Took my ankle out every time. Remember Yo-Ho Diablos? Oh, that's the sticks? Yeah, they were pretty fun.
Starting point is 00:18:05 And what was it, elastics? Elastics is good. Elastics was pretty fun. Yeah. Merry Christmas, everybody. I'm going to buy some laser, what are they called? Laser tags for my nephews. We've got to figure out what they're called.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Hold on. Let's have a look. That would be such a great gift for my nephews, laser tag. It just comes up with... Oh, they do have them. They've got them at the warehouse. They still exist? Yeah, they've got them at the warehouse.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Well, how good. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Are you watching Love Actually this year? Of course. I watch it every year. Is it becoming problematic yet, Love Actually? I mean, most things from that time are a little bit problematic.
Starting point is 00:18:47 And I hate things being classified problematic. But it feels like every time you watch that movie, there's something else that stands out and you go, wait, that's Alan Rickman, that's weird. No, we always hated Alan Rickman's character. Oh, true, his was never particularly weird. He was universally hated from the beginning. Keira Knightley, who was one of the big stars of Love Actually,
Starting point is 00:19:06 has just given an interview about that scene in the iconic Christmas movie Love Actually. She admitted that the scene where her husband's best friend professes his love to her in cue cards at the door, you know where it says, just say it's Carola's? You know that scene? Yes. She said that she thinks it's creepy, that scene.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Even she thinks it's creepy. It is pretty creepy. And it's the scene that made her famous. She said, my memory of doing the scene is where Richard Curtis, the director, said, no, Keira, you're looking at him like he's being creepy. And I'm like, but it is creepy. He's professing his love to me, his best friend's wife. And I barely know him.
Starting point is 00:19:50 While his best friend is on the couch. Yeah. And it's in cue cards. And then we had to redo the scene and I had to fix my face to make him not seem creepy. It is creepy, isn't it? What came first for Keira Knightley? Love Actually or Bend It Like Beckham?
Starting point is 00:20:05 Fantastic question. I'm going to do the research, okay? You know what's really creepy about Love Actually? Yes. In that film, Keira Knightley is 17. Oh, weird. She's 17. The guy holding the cards professing his love to her.
Starting point is 00:20:21 But in the movie, she's not 17. No, in the movie, she's married. That's what I mean. Yeah, I know. But in real person. In real life. In real life Keira Knightley was 17. Wow. And the guy with the cards was 12 years older than her. Yeah, he's the guy that ended up becoming the main character in the Walking Dead TV show. Oh, is that him? Yeah, that's him. What do you know? Yeah, what came first, Bend It Like Beckham or Love Actually? I'm going to say knowing how young she is here, 17 in Love Actually, Love Actually came first.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Bend It Like Beckham. Wow. Bend It Like Beckham was in 2002, Love Actually 2003, a year later. So she's 16 in Bend It Like Beckham. Apparently. Here's what really blew my mind. Keira Knightley, everything that she's achieved, as famous as she is, and how big she was in the 2000s, she's only 39.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Is she? Now. Keira Knightley is... Right, Claudia? Keira Knightley is 39 now. I thought that's what she would have been. But it makes sense, like, looking back, if she did bend it like Beckham when she was 16.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Is that the same age as you guys? Yeah. Excuse you, Claudia. You're in the... Clint, maybe, not me. You're in the... Clint, maybe, not me. You're in the window. No, not in the window. You are.
Starting point is 00:21:29 You're in the 35 to 39 bracket. When is that the bracket? It is. Your 30s get cut in two halves. I can't wait till you go into your 40s and I'm still in my 30s. You reckon we'll still be hanging out by then? Probably not. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Something I've always wanted to do after watching that Wedding Crashers movie is to crash a wedding. Yeah. I'd love it. What about crashing a funeral? Does it make you want to crash a funeral? No. Grief is a powerful aphrodisiac. The last thing I'd want to do, I think.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Crash a funeral. Yeah. But weddings, so fun. Even better when you have no responsibility because you don't know anyone. I'm not 100% convinced that it can be done. I know the movie made it seem easy, but I feel like weddings, everybody knows everybody, don't they?
Starting point is 00:22:15 This next story might make you think different. So there's a couple over in the States, in Milwaukee, by the name of Danny and Daisy, who recently got married in october and they had a photo booth at the wedding and they uh recently received all the photos back from the photo booth and they kept noticing um these two particular women that neither of them recognized they kept going who's that then they would go i don't know who's that but you invited them and they quickly realized that their wedding had been crashed wow
Starting point is 00:22:52 uh take take a listen to them talking about it we just got married in october and today we got our photos from the wedding back and there's two people that we did not invite to the wedding. We're genuinely not even mad. We're not mad. We think it's hilarious. Hope you had fun. We honestly would want to meet you and get lunch. Like, just hear your story. So, let us know if you know them. We're honestly,
Starting point is 00:23:18 we don't want to invoice you. We don't, honestly. He doesn't sound like he cares. She, to me, sounded like she cared. Oh, do you reckon? And she was like, hope you had fun. Hope you had fun. Do they know it's not like partners of somebody that they haven't met?
Starting point is 00:23:34 I guess they've canvassed all their friends and been like, do you know who these are? I think they're pretty sure. And there's more to the story because they posted that on TikTok and it went so viral. In nine hours, they found out who the two girls were. Oh, wow. The two girls came forward, their names are Valerie and Gracelyn. And they were like,
Starting point is 00:23:59 yeah, it was us. And it wasn't an accident. Pre-planned, premeditated. We decided that we wanted to crash a wedding. So we just kept driving around to all different wedding venues and eventually we found yours and then we walked in and then yada, yada, yada. Anyway, the four of them ended up having a Zoom call and they all had a good laugh about it. Brazen.
Starting point is 00:24:22 I tell you what's really bold about it. To crash a wedding is bold enough. To get in the photo a good laugh about it. Brazen. I tell you what's really bold about it. To crash a wedding is bold enough. To get in the photo booth. I love it. To provide evidence of your attendance that they will find later. It's kind of great. So good. Go and sign the registry.
Starting point is 00:24:37 I'm going to make it my mission next year. It's on my bucket list for next year. To crash a wedding. That's going to be my New Year's resolution. Well, all you've got to do is get yourself to Waiheke on any Saturday in summer. And just lurk around all the wedding venues. Just hang out at Mudbrick or Stoney Ridge
Starting point is 00:24:55 and just wait until you see the cars pull up with the white ribbons on the front and then in you go. They're like, that's the one. Walk in with the bridal party. And they'll go, hey, why is the host of Celebrity Treasure Island out with him? I'm like, guys, you wouldn't believe who the MC of the night is. I'm sure you're the person to crash and win.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Get in here, you lot. Isn't that the chick with the book? Yeah, that might be a bit of an issue. I thought we could ask people. No, I'm a caterer. I'm here doing the food. I wanted to get some inspiration. Have you done this before?
Starting point is 00:25:33 Maybe it's a bit of a needle in a haystack, but I reckon there's got to be some people out there that's done it. Crashed a wedding. Crashed a wedding. Or we'll even open it up, I want weddings. That's what I want. Yeah. Have you crashed a wedding? On purpose or not on purpose, either or?
Starting point is 00:25:48 Or have you crashed like a big event? What about someone who's like crashed a conference that's going on at a hotel and they have the party at the end and there's like the Microsoft team are there. Free drinks. And then you just put on a lanyard and you're like, party time. I could be Gerald. You don't know me.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Pass the hors d'oeuvres. I'm ready to party. 0800 dials at M or text on 9696. You're not going to get in trouble with us. We want to know what event did you crash? Yeah. Did you have the cojones, the balls to crash a wedding? The testicles.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Bree and Clint. Are you a wedding crasher? How did you do it? Give me all the tips. I want a new career in wedding crashing. You want to do it. Why do you want to do it? Is it because you want a free night on the booze?
Starting point is 00:26:36 Or you want the exhilaration of knowing that you're an intruder? I think it's a bit of both. I mean, weddings are always very fun. Yeah. Like, I always have a fantastic time at a bit of both. I mean, weddings are always very fun. Yeah. Like, I always have a fantastic time at a wedding. Yeah. And then imagine if just, you know, when you wanted to, you just
Starting point is 00:26:51 crashed a wedding. I feel like it's the event to crash. Everyone's in a good mood. Yeah. As long as you didn't crash, like, a headhunter's wedding or something like that, you'd be alright. Yeah. Even then. I mean, again, if it was you, I mean, and no disrespect to the headhunters, I'm sure they throw great weddings, but even if it was you, they mean, and no disrespect to the headhunters, I'm sure they throw great weddings. But even if it was you, they'd still go, oh, you're that true of the TV.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Why are you here? They're like, oh, he joined the gang. We'll patch you tonight. I'd have to have a back story. So we're asking whose event did you crash? Someone said not a wedding, but several years ago, we gate crashed a massive conference in Te Anau. We went down to the resort for dessert
Starting point is 00:27:29 and ended up in the conference drinking free alcohol and listening to their band on stage. We went home very happy and drunk. How good. What a great result. I love it. Someone else said, crashed a randoms wedding. We were at a work do in Auckland and me and my now husband
Starting point is 00:27:47 and his best mate went for a look around the venue. We heard a shindig, so we followed the music. We walked right in, grabbed a beer and started dancing. Got about 30 minutes in until the bride and groom yelled at us and said that they don't know us and we got kicked out. I've also crashed the VIP room at Ali Ali World Dance. Oh, Ali Pali. Oh, Ali Pali, yeah, sorry.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Until I said shush to the hubby and he yelled, oh my God, are we in the VIP room? Boom, we got kicked out straight away. This person wants to be anonymous and fair enough. Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi. You're a crasher.
Starting point is 00:28:25 No, no, I had someone. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. You're a crasher. No, no. I had someone try to crash my wedding. Oh. Was it Brie? No, it wasn't you, Brie. Sorry about that, Anonymous. Yeah. Give us the goss.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Okay. It was years ago, and it was a venue that was up in Spears. Yeah. Big flood of Spears. Yeah. I had got out of change, out of my wedding dress, and I was just going to go and put my mate in the car. Went to walk down the stairs, and these two guys were walking up the stairs,
Starting point is 00:28:52 and I went, oh, g'day. And they went, hi. And I said, oh, how do you know? And they went, oh, we know the bride. And I went, who are you, darling? I'm the bride. I'm the bride. And so they went, oh. So I very politely told them to go away.
Starting point is 00:29:09 That's hilarious. They're not your kind of people? Because I think the idea that Bree's romanticising here is that you'd go, ah, you cheeky old sods, come on in for a drink. Exactly. Where they realise, but they're like, come on in. Not the vibe anonymous? Yeah, no, it wasn't the vibe.
Starting point is 00:29:25 It was like, yeah. I reckon it was some of them, well, my now-heaps husband, work colleagues. Oh, really? Yeah, because they would have been, you know, free feed kind of people. Free feed people? They would have been free feed people.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Thanks, Anonymous. Great story. I love it. Someone texted her and said, I crashed someone's funeral on mistake thinking it was my uncle's. Oh, awkward. Oh, no. When do you realise?
Starting point is 00:29:51 I mean, it is one of those things where you walk in and everyone, you are trying to be quiet, especially if you're late. You know pretty quickly though, they give you a programme at a funeral and if it's not your uncle's face on it or name, you're at the wrong funeral. You'll be like, that's not him.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Someone said, I'm a chef and I went to the Sevens rugby tournament in Wellington as a chef, not to work, dressed as a chef. I pretty much got all access, all areas. That's a genius. What a good idea. That's such a great idea. Jane's here.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Hi, Jane. Hi, Jane. Hiya. You a crasher? Yeah, accidentally as well. How was it accidental? What happened, Jane. Hi, Jane. Hiya. You a crasher? Yeah, accidentally as well. How was it accidental? What happened, Jane? Me and a friend were in Switzerland, and we bought tickets to go on a boat.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Okay. And we lined up, and there was a boat leaving, so we quickly jumped on it as it took off. Yeah. And then everyone started being like, oh, where do you work in this company? Inquist. And we were like, well, I don't know what's going on. And it was like a work do for a tech company.
Starting point is 00:30:52 And we got stuck on a boat with this tech do for the next two hours. What? Were there perks? Was there free drinks and stuff? Yeah, yeah. There was free drinks. They were all very welcoming.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Oh, how good. They asked us about our trip. What are they going to do? Throw you overboard? No, exactly. Jane, please tell me you took the opportunity and you did some networking, you know? I wish it had been helpful.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Get your Blackberry out. Take down some details. Tell us about your background. This is very recent. Someone said, we accidentally crashed the free corporate event at the Coldplay concert. It was all good.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Free drinks, free food. We made the most of it. Sculling a bunch of drinks until we got kicked out. That's where you went wrong. If you'd just kept it low key and gone a couple of drinks an hour, you would have had a free corporate night the whole time. But all the VIPs would be like, um.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Who are the people taking swigs out of the champagne bottles? Who are the aunties doing shooies in the corner? Fun though, who cares? We invite them. Who cares, you would have had a good time. Someone else texted her and said, crashed an end of year karaoke work do. Heard ABBA playing, then ended
Starting point is 00:32:06 up on the mic and the table with a bunch of middle-aged women. Well, that's the thing. How far do you go with the crashing? Like, if you crashed a wedding, the ultimate wedding crash would be to give a speech. See, that's like... And get away with it. Gold medal wedding crashing.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Yeah. Like, I don't think you can go above that. Get the bride and groom to cry. Hold on, let me practice it. I feel like... Yeah. Like, I don't think you can go above that. Get the bride and groom to cry. Hold on, let me practice it. I feel like... Yeah, yeah, okay. All you get is the names. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:32 It's the names of the people who have just been married. They're very much in love. Claudia and Clinton. Hello, everyone. I just want to say it's so, so lovely to be here. How good do the bride and groom look? Give it up. Give it up for the bride and groom. I mean, come on. Yeah, generic, yeah. And I must
Starting point is 00:32:50 say the bridesmaids and groomsmen are looking fantastic tonight as well. You're not the best man. Huh? That's the best, that's what the best man gets to say. Oh, why can't I say it? Well, you can. Mate, I'm panicking. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:05 I've been put on the spot. I'll say whatever I want. Bree and Clint. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down. Punk. Yeah!
Starting point is 00:33:18 Let's go. Bit of Google Down for your wins, Jay. Who's going to win? Probably Claudia. Actually, no, I've done enough winning this year, I think. It's time for someone else to pick up the crown. How selfless of you. Do you honestly think you could not win?
Starting point is 00:33:35 If I was actually trying. If you sat back, do you reckon that wouldn't get the better of you? No, that's fine. That's fine. She's got that dog in her. Here it is. If you text through one of the names, you could be picking up some KFC chicken dollars.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Clint, Claude and Ella are about to go head to head to find out who is the fastest Googler. I've put these questions into Google. First person to yell out the correct answer will receive a point. First to three takes home the win. Are we ready to play? Yes, ma'am. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Question number one. How old is Santa Claus? 1,744 years old. 1,752, 53 years old. 1,754. Oh, I don't have any of those. 1,754. Oh, I don't have any of those. 1,752. Anyone else want to have another guess?
Starting point is 00:34:31 As of 2023, Santa Claus is approximately 1,752 years old. He was born in 280 AD. We're in 2024. Yes, that's why I added a year the first time. 1,755. 1,754. 1,755. Oh, this is a bloody write-off question. 4 days, 15 hours, 42 minutes old.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I had 1,750. I mean, I'm surprised that he kept... He's lied, I think. That he kept counting after, you know, 100. Well, it said approximately. I'm not going to give it to anyone because otherwise it's unfair. You could give us one each. You could give us one each. You could give us one each.
Starting point is 00:35:05 I mean, it's the same. It's the same. I'll give you a lump of coal in a second. All right, no points. Question number two. Which of Santa's reindeers are female? Dasher Dancer. Dasher Dancer, Prancer Vixen,omet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.

Starting point is 00:35:35 I did, I promise. Okay, I'm going to give it to you then because you finished first. What the frick? She just complained her way to a point. No, I didn't complain. I explained. You do that all the time. Nigh on 45 seconds ago, Claudia said, I'm not going to try today.
Starting point is 00:35:48 And here she is. No, I didn't say I wouldn't try. I said I'm going to try. Hanging out with you guys makes me not want to have children. Fair enough. Because you're all acting like a bunch of kids. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:00 So all of Santa's reindeer are female. One point to Claude. Question number three. How many elves does Santa have working for him? Six. 90,000. Six. No one is right so far.
Starting point is 00:36:22 90,000 elves make 500 million toys each year. That's 5,005 toys per elf. 110. Wait, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0. I'm going to give it to Clint. I'm going to give it to Clint because he was the closest. What did he say? 90,000.
Starting point is 00:36:37 And you guys said six. So Clint was a lot closer. What are you Googling on, eh? Are you on Chrome? One to Clint, one to Claudia, none to Ella. Question number three. Number four, sorry. On the Google app.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Who invented eggnog? No one. Yeah, no one. That's right, Ella. The origins of eggnog are unknown. Yes, it is unknown. But people believe it came from medieval Britain. So I'll give you the unknown. Yes, it is unknown, but people believe it came from medieval Britain. So I'll give you the point.

Starting point is 00:37:47 Why are we all getting such different Are you guys pulling a prank on me? What is the number one most watched Christmas movie? It's the new AI thing that it does It's just like pulling random things Has the new AI ruined Google down? Maybe National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Starting point is 00:38:00 I feel like you've already said it The Grinch What did you say? The Grinch. I'm going to give it to Ella. Two to Claude, two to Ella. Last question
Starting point is 00:38:09 to finish it off. What is Mrs. Claus's name? Jessica. Claus. Gertrude. Now we're in a bloody three-way tie break. Is it Jessica?
Starting point is 00:38:26 Jessica. Let's go. I didn't have eight questions. Well, Google something quick. This says her middle name is Jessica. Oh. Okay, I've got a question. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:38:40 In the movie. Oh, hang on. No, don't hang on. Keep going. What was the Grinch's dog's name Max That was awesome That was outrageous
Starting point is 00:38:50 Obviously a guess And Claudia comes through In the clutch I mean I could have not won that Well done to the people Who predictably chose Claudia That's insane They were right again
Starting point is 00:39:01 They were right But it was a good game guys Turns out the favourite Is the favourite for a reason It was a great game Wasn't it a good game, guys. Turns out the favourite is the favourite for a reason. It was a great game. Wasn't it a good game? Very good game of Google Downs. There's an article out today talking about the topics you should avoid this Christmas
Starting point is 00:39:14 if you don't want to start an argument. If you want to keep the pace. Yeah. Because, I mean, it is a bit of a boiling pot when all the family gets together and there's people with different views and ideas about how they see the world. And there's always some arguments. It doesn't mean your family is always like that
Starting point is 00:39:33 or will always be like that. But there can be years where I don't know what's going on, but things are tense. And then you chuck in a bit of stress around Christmas, a bit of alcohol, a bit of sleeping all under one roof and it can be a recipe for disaster. It's an explosion sometimes. It can be wonderful
Starting point is 00:39:51 but it can also be, yeah. Do you want to hear the things that this article says to steer clear of? Yeah, I do. I mean, they're pretty obvious to be honest. Politics? The US presidential election. Yeah. Steer clear of it.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Do not mention Donald Trump or Kamala Harris's name at Christmas. Yep. Don't mention Joe Biden. Don't mention, actually, just don't mention politics. And I guess the New Zealand equivalent would be, don't mention David Seymour. Don't mention David Seymour.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Don't mention Christopher Luxon. Exactly. Don't mention the Green Party. Just don't do it. Just don't do it. You don't mention David Seymour. Don't mention David Seymour. Exactly. Don't mention the Green Party. Just don't do it. You don't need to. You know? Because what are you trying to achieve? What is your goal? It's great to be politically minded and politically active. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Not at Christmas time. What are you going to achieve? Not at family Christmas. What are you going to achieve at mum's house over Christmas? Not when the uncles and aunties are chowing down on the Christmas ham. We don't want to hear it. No one does. Okay? You know, Chloe's actually got some very good points. I don't want to hear it.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Don't want to hear it. The next one on the list is the Olympic ceremony. Oh, really? Opening ceremony. Oh, we're past that, aren't we? Well, I mean, I think they're just wrapping it up. Like these are things to steer clear of. Someone else said Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Oh, yeah. That is a topic I reckon you just steer clear of. Especially if you're particularly fond of Taylor Swift. No, I was thinking the opposite. Oh, really? Yeah. I feel like the ones who are going to get butt hurt are the ones who are really into Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:41:26 And your uncle will say something like, she's not that good. Does she even write her songs? That's what I mean. You don't want to be the person who's not fond of Taylor Swift voicing those opinions because there'll be a lot of people. Oh, I see. Oh, I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:41:38 You know? Right. Just don't get into it. You're allowed to have your opinion. We are so divided we can't even talk about Taylor Swift at Christmas. Yeah, don't talk about Taylor Swift. And definitely don't put on the Taylor Swift Christmas song. Yeah, absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Last straw. Ariana Grande we can deal with. Her Christmas song, not Taylor Swift. And the last one this list says is Kendrick versus Drake. Don't discuss it. Don't talk about who won, what happened. Like your family members are going to know about Kendrick versus Drake. Don't discuss it. Don't talk about who won, what happened. Like your family members are going to know about Kendrick versus Drake. You're giving them too much credit.
Starting point is 00:42:11 My dad would be like, what? Who? Huh? Lamar, Kendrick Lamar? Huh? Drizzy? Drake? BBL?
Starting point is 00:42:20 What are the other topics that are off limits? What do we reckon you steer clear of? Like... BBL. What are the other topics that are off limits? What do we reckon you steer clear of? Don't ask anyone when they're having kids. No. Oh, yeah, that's an obvious one. Don't do that. Don't ask if someone's pregnant. Don't ask if they're trying.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Leave it alone. Don't, and this one's for you, Ella. Don't bring up your dietary requirements around certain family members. I will if I want to. No, you can't. See, that's the attitude. I'm members. I will if I want to. No, you can't. See, that's the attitude. I'm joking. You're obviously welcome to, but there could be World War III.
Starting point is 00:42:50 No, no, no, I won't. Vegan? What a load of bull crap. No, my Uncle Craig is cool. He's actually a farmer. Is he? Yeah. But not a vegan?
Starting point is 00:42:59 No, obviously not. He sells cows off. He's a farmer. Can you be a vegan farmer? I don't know if you can. No way. I guess. He could be farming oats.
Starting point is 00:43:07 I mean, you could, yeah. Nah, he's cool. Yeah, what are the things you steer clear of in your household? Weight. Weight. Oh, yeah. Weight is a good one. Don't talk about weight at all.
Starting point is 00:43:18 But that's a good rule for all social gatherings, isn't it? Absolutely. All the grammar. Just full stop. All the grammar. Matariki, that's when you bring up people's weight. Really? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:29 I'm trying to think if there ever is an occasion. It's never. Easter. Never an occasion. Oh, God. You gave me scales? I love it. Who gave me scales for Secret Santa? That's terrible.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Alright, well, good luck everybody. Merry Christmas. Good for Secret Santa? That's terrible. Oh, God. All right. Well, good luck, everybody. Merry Christmas. Good luck. We're back after this. Bree and Clint. It's officially breakup day, December 11th.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Text us on 9696. Have you broken up with someone today? Or did you get broken up with today? Yeah. Or do you believe you're going to be broken up with tonight? Or are you planning to break up with someone tonight? Maybe if someone called us. Yeah. Or do you believe you're going to be broken up with tonight? Or are you planning to break up with someone tonight? Make sure someone called us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:10 And they told us that we can- Do you want us to break up with someone for you? No, I don't want that responsibility. I do. I'll do it for you. No, you don't. You don't want to break someone's heart. Yeah, if they've been an a-hole, I'll call someone and be like, you cheated on such and such.
Starting point is 00:44:22 You'll be taking this rando's word for it that they've been an a-hole. It's bad juju. You don't want anything to do with it. No one's going to call up and say, oh, they cheated on me if they didn't. What if they really want out but they don't want to do it but they want to make you do it for them? You don't know what people are capable of. I'd be pretty upset at that person.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Scott, did you get broken up with on a bad day, date, occasion? I'm one to pearler. Hi, guys, by the way. G'day, Scotty. Hi, occasion? I'm on to Perla. Hi, guys, by the way. G'day, Scotty. Hi, Scott. Good to talk to you. Yeah, let's just say 25 years ago got broken up on my birthday.
Starting point is 00:44:56 No, no, that's the easy part. Got back together, rolled forward 25 years, just three months shy of our 25th wedding anniversary, day before our daughter's birthday, found out she was having an affair with my mate. Oh, Scotty. How long had it been going on, Scotty? Don't say 25 years. No, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:17 I don't know. But, hey, at the end of the day, life's too short. Are you right? It's too short. Do you look back on it and think, oh, the warning sign was there 25 years ago? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, look, I mean, no marriage or no relationship's perfect. You're right.
Starting point is 00:45:32 But at the end of the day, it was, you know, it was, yeah. I mean, life is too short. We're still on really good terms. Are you a bit gun-shy of birthdays now, Scott? Like, bad things tend to happen around birthdays for you? Birthdays? We don't have birthdays. We just skip those things. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good idea. Avoid anything bad happening, Scott. Very much so.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Yeah, you've got a good attitude, Scott. Merry Christmas, mate. You've got good vibes. See you, Scotty. Someone texted her and said, I found out my ex was cheating on me the night before Christmas while I'm sleeping in my bed while I'm sleeping in a bed at her parents' house. I had to bail on Christmas and turn up at my parents' place explaining why I was
Starting point is 00:46:13 now having Christmas without my partner. That sucks. Ball. I know someone whose experience was almost that, word for word. I wonder if that's my friend. And when he told me the story, there are so many little elements where you're like, you had to find out there, then.
Starting point is 00:46:33 And the partner who was doing the cheating got mad at them for leaving. They were like, hey, I'm out. And the person, the cheater was like, rude, what am I going to tell my parents? I was at my partner's Christmas once, my partner's family Christmas, and someone in the family got broken up with on Christmas Eve. And it was not a great Christmas day. Because you could hear the person who had been broken up with crying from the upstairs and it was horrible.
Starting point is 00:47:05 I was like, who does that to someone? That's why you've got to get in today. So you're nice and fast on Christmas. Not Christmas Eve. They've got 14 days to recover. My partner broke up with me the night before my daughter's second birthday while I was pregnant. That's so yuck.
Starting point is 00:47:22 That's so yuck. What are you doing? My boyfriend broke up and I broke up the night that I won a trip for two to LA. Oh, that's saucy. Well, if you were going to break up, you're going to break up. At least you broke up before you took that person on your free trip to LA. And you can take your bestie. Someone said I got dumped on April Fool's.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Me and my friends thought it might have been a prank. It wasn't. Someone else said I got dumped the day I got my wisdom teeth out. Not cool. Joke's on him, though, because he tried to get me back a few months later. I led him on and said, nah, F off. Never saw him again. Wow.
Starting point is 00:47:58 That's a cold heart right there, and I'm here for it. My boyfriend dumped me just after I got out of the COVID hotel after catching COVID in China. Same day, that same day I got made redundant. We then shared a bed for a good six months after that. Punish. Oh, that's terrible. Someone else said one of my besties partners was an a-hole and broke up with her in the doctor's surgery when she was just told that she had cancer. That wins. That is the winner.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Like, it can't get worse. Yeah. It's weird to say that that's the winner, but it is the winner. That is the winner. I want to find that person and give them a prize. That is, oh, my God. You don't want to be with that person anyway. No, you don't.
