The ZM Podcast Network. Cody everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint show where it is 13 sleeps till Christmas. 13, my lucky number. Yeah. Is it your lucky number? What's your lucky number? 13 is the cap that I used to request for water polo. But I wasn't very good at water polo, so maybe it's not my lucky number.

Did you get your little nips out at water polo? Nah, I wore a one-piece. Did you? No. Like a wrestling one-piece. Like a uni-tard. Yeah. Can you say uni-tard?

Today on the show, lots of fun bits coming up for you, including all the details on how you can watch that meteor shower tonight. That's fun to me. Yeah, I probably won't be doing that. Yeah, but it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Oh, I'll catch the next one. This one's taken 60 years to get here. I've got things to do, man.

I'll probably be watching reruns of Friends that I've watched a million times. True, that is more important. So fair enough. Yeah, it's high on my list. Well, for those who are interested in the meteor shower, I'll give you the best details on how to make the most of the meteor shower in the next 20 minutes. Up next on the show, though, we're going to give someone $50 cash,

thanks to KFC with Tradie versus Lady. Come on down if you want to play 0800DIALZM right now. Ladies are romping home for the year. Who are they in rompers? They're in a romper. I do love a romper around summer. Tried playing water polo in a romper. No.

Because too baggy. I was going to say. Too baggy, down too much, yeah. Feels like a parachute. Yeah, yeah. Bree and a parachute. Yeah, yeah. It's Tradie versus Lady. Three, two, one, let's go. Here we go, guys.

Another game of Tradie versus Lady. Not many of these left to go for the year, but we have been keeping score all year. The Lady's on 112., the tradies on 105. Talked yesterday about how the tradies are out for the year and received a text message saying, hey, last year when the ladies were behind, you offered them double points to get back into the game.

Yeah, but the ladies were a long way behind, and so we needed that from quite far out. We offered both teams double points, didn't we? So there was potential that ladies could come back. The tradies, I've been saying for two weeks that you're within a snuff of it and still weren't able to put themselves in front. So I just don't feel like it's, I don't know.

I feel like it's been there for the taking, you know? It's been very close all year. It has. There hasn't been much in it all year. Let's go to our tradie first on 0800Diles. He's from Gore. He's 22, and he loves dogs. Welcome to the show, Shannon.

You and me both, Shannon. Do you have your own dog? Yeah, I have two dogs of my own. What type? I have a Ridgeback cross with a red-nosed pit bull, and I have a German Shepherd cross with a collier. Oh, fun. I'm not messing with you, Shannon.

You're taking on our lady today. Nah, they're beautiful dogs. Our lady's from Hamilton. She's 38. She's a courier driver with her dog as a passenger right now. Welcome to the show, Andy. It's a puppy affair. Andy, what type of dog do you have?

He's a Jack Russell cross black Labrador. Cute. What a... Wait, did you say a Jack Russell cross black Labrador? Yes, I did. Who humped who in that situation? And he doesn't look anything like a Jack Russell or a black Labrador. You know, everyone's the same...

Either the male Jack Russell needed a stool or... Everyone's the same height when you're spurning. Aren't they, Andy? Yeah. Andy, your buzzer is lady. Shannon,

Is there a cheese penguin? That'd be my favourite one. Just want to give a shout out to Archer, who listens to our show every day. And it's his sixth birthday today. Happy birthday, Archer. Happy birthday, Archer. Thanks for listening every day and have the best birthday ever.

Only ten more years so you can play birthday banger. Yeah, and then we'll have you on. Between 8pm and 12.30am tonight, New Zealand will be able to see a real-life meteor shower. I've always wondered what it would be like for meat to drop from the sky. No, meteor. Oh, I thought you said meteor. No, meteor shower.

Meteor shower. Meat shower. Meat shower. A comet named Wurrannen... What's its name? Wurunen. A comet passed close to Jupiter in 1972 and knocked a whole bunch of shit off it. And that stuff's been flying around the sun ever since 1972.

And tonight, for the first time since 1972 when it happened, that stuff is going to pass through Earth's orbit and we're going to get to see that stuff, which is actually a meteor shower. Do you ever wonder, how do people even know this? I know, right? They could just make all this up and just tell us all these stories and be like, oh, so this is what happened.

No, I don't think they make it up. How do you know? I do think, how do they know this? But I don't think they make it up. How do you know? I do think, how do they know this? But I don't think they make it up. How do you know? Science and telescopes and stuff. Don't you ever think that all this money has been invested into a place like NASA so they need to show results and so they could just be like, yeah, this happened.

I've never felt the need to ask you this question before, but are you a flat earther? No, but I'm definitely not a flat earther. But don't you ever wonder that? What? Like how do they know all this stuff? Well, research, science. Yeah, but how? Satellites, telescopes.

See, you're one of those people that just believes what you're told. Well, I believe we're going to see a meteor shower tonight, and New Zealand is the perfect place to see it because of the time that night is here. So as it's passing, we'll be in darkness, which means we're best placed to see the meteor shower. That's cool. It's like a special meteor shower just for New Zealand.

Do you reckon some people, like at a certain age, you really start to get into this space stuff? I don't know if it's an age thing. I think it's more like a nerd thing. Personality thing. Yeah, yeah. And I'm nerdy enough to sit out tonight and watch out for it. I'm definitely a nerd, but just not for the...

Not for meteors? Just not for meteors. Well, if you are, the showers will be happening just to the left of Jupiter. And Jupiter is the one you can see. It's the really bright thing in the sky that's not the moon. It looks like a really, really, really bright star. That's Jupiter. And then to the left of it. I have no idea where to look.

Just look around for a really bright star. Okay, the brightest star other than the moon. You can also get an app on your phone which will help you locate the planets and the constellations. That's a bit of fun if you use that. Someone said you're not going to see anything. It's cloudy AF.

No, so it depends where you are, okay? If you're going off the weather, the best place to see it tonight is the Bay of Plenty down to Rotorua. That's the best place in New Zealand to watch the meteor shower. Northern and eastern parts of Northland are meant to be pretty good too.

Wellington and the Wairarapa, are they going to clear up tonight? Apparently, they're going to clear up. You're not going to be able to see it. Story of Wellington's life. You won't be able to see it. Canterbury, Marlborough and Central Otago should also have clear skies for the meteor showers.

Although I went to Central Otago one time to go stargazing, went all the way there and... Oh no, we've been twice. Remember, we went. Yeah, couldn't see much. Couldn't see anything. Both times. But have some faith, because tonight you're going to see the way there. Oh, no, we've been twice. Remember, we went. Yeah, couldn't see much. Couldn't see anything. Both times. But have some faith because tonight you're going to see the meteor shower.

There's actually two showers happening at the same time, one coming in one direction, one coming in the other direction. There'll only be one shower I'm a part of tonight. Yeah. And that's washing my body. But you're going to say golden. Bree and Clint. I just want to start out for this next story by saying I feel sorry for both sides.

Okay? All right. You're on the fence then. I can just kind of... Pick a side. Okay, we can pick a side at the end. Okay. So Simba the Shih Tzu and Ruby the Bichon Freeze slash Shih Tzu from Napier are barking and howling so much

that they have generated 17 complaints to the council. Oh, no. From three different complainants. And now, because they're dogs. Oh, so it's three different people. Three different people. That have complained 17 times. A total of 17 times.

And now, because they're dogs and they can't go, their owner has to go to court over it. Imagine dog court. Yeah. Judge duty. Yeah, literally. These might be. These might be.

Where are these dogs? Napier. They might be the most annoying dogs in New Zealand. It makes me sad because it's not the dog's fault. And sometimes it's not the owner's fault either. Sometimes you're just a really annoying dog. Sometimes it's not the dog's fault. And sometimes it's not the owner's fault either. Sometimes you're just a really annoying dog. Sometimes it's just in you. You just can't help it.

You're obviously not a dog person. Let's get some details. Simba and Ruby's neighbours have reported significant impact, such as loss of sleep for shift workers. And they've lost the right to a quiet enjoyment of their homes and disturbance to work from home. That's a real thing that you can claim. Right.

Okay. Their owner says that Ruby and Simba are not actually that loud and that they don't bark as often as the people complaining say that they do. Their owner believes most of the complaints have come from one person, not all three, and that person is someone that she's had difficulties with in the past. Right, so that person, she's saying that this person's trying to make my life difficult.

She thinks that person's unfairly targeting Simba and Ruby, the shih tzus. I wonder if the owner is at home all the time to actually be able to know if the dogs are barking. Good question. Good question. Don't know. That'll come up in court. Because a lot of the time, and I feel bad for dog owners because it is difficult because dogs will be dogs and they do bark.

Yeah. And it's hard to know sometimes if your dog is barking when you're away because you're not there. You might think you've got a dream dog. Well, this is the thing. How do you know? Yeah, but when you're not there, the dogs are howling the house down. You don't know. You just don't.

I don't know what the solution to something like this is. Like even if they go to court and she has to pay a fine, what happens then? That's not going to shut the dogs up. The dog's not going to go, oh, that cost me $1,000. I better shut up now. Well, if the neighbour was a good neighbour, they'd go around and talk to her and say, hey,

are you aware that your dogs are making noise? It's quite loud and it goes for long periods of time. Is there any way you can keep them inside for half the day and then maybe outside for part of the day? The owner's like, I don't want them inside. They're bloody noisy. Well, if they're not home. They won't stop barking. What do I want them in the house for?

If they're not home, then it doesn't matter. When they're inside, you can't hear them as. What do I want them in the house for? If they're not home, then it doesn't matter. It doesn't, you know, just when they're inside, you can't hear them as much. Yeah. That's all the information we've got. So pick a side. Pick a side. For me?

Yeah. It's hard when you don't have all the info. That's what I said. That's what I said I feel for both people. I probably, I mean, it's hard because I don't know how bad it is. Yeah, yeah. Or if this woman is literally just targeting her because they've had beef in other areas and it's not actually about the dogs.

You've got dogs. What do you do to make sure that your neighbours aren't annoyed? Do you go and talk to your neighbours about it? Our dogs are kept inside. Yeah. Yeah. And our dogs are never at home for longer than five hours on their own. Yeah. And they dogs are never at home for longer than five hours on their own. Yeah.

And they don't bark. If they're barking, we are responsible dog owners and we bring them inside. Yeah, yeah, fair enough. Yeah. There you go. The most annoying dogs in New Zealand allegedly... Oh, I feel bad. ...will have their day in court.

The poor puppies. Bree and Clint. If you've left it a bit late buying gifts, especially for kids, lost ideas, this might help you on what not to buy for kids. Oh, that's me. Good. This is good one for anyone buying for young kids especially. Because there's an ER doctor, a paediatric emergency doctor actually,

who has shared her top five toys that she would not get kids for Christmas. Oh, that's interesting. Because she sees a lot of kids in the ER due to these particular toys. Yeah. We've got some audio here of her talking about the different ones. So here is the first one number five anything with a button battery they keep those little compartments closed with these little cheap screws it's not worth it they can literally kill kids and they do every year yeah button batteries are so dangerous even if you have animals like dogs eat button batteries like that and then they're leaking their their stomach, eh? It kills them.

Yeah. Yeah, they're so dangerous. And like button batteries come in a lot of different, usually cheaper toys. Oh, yeah. But just a lot of smaller toys that can't fit like a normal AA or... Is it AA? What's the smaller one? AAA.

AAA. Yeah. AA and AAA batteries. Here comes the next one. Number four is water beads. These are sold as sensory toys, but little kids can ingest them when they're small and they can get larger and cause bowel obstructions.

Don't mess with these with little kids. And they can cause problems with pets too. Oh my God, my kids love water beads. Are water beads Orbeez? Maybe. They're like jelly beads and they're tiny, tiny, tiny and you put them in a bowl of water and they swell up and they're all slimy and fun to move around with your hands. Who calls them water beads?

It sounds, I'm not going to say what it sounds like. Oh yeah, it sounds naughty. Yeah. So anyway, yeah, she says if kids eat them, it's really bad. That'd be for little, little, little, little kids. Yeah. Here comes number three. Number three is electric scooters.

Kids get going way too fast on these. They hit a bump, they go flying, they mess up their faces, their arms, their heads. It's bad news bears. Who's getting a little kid an electric scooter? Like a lime scooter, like an e-scooter. Getting adults electric scooters, dangerous. If you're going to get an adult an e-scooter for Christmas, give it to them on Boxing Day because they'll be too drunk on Christmas Day to use it safely.

Yeah, and get them a helmet when you get them one, if you do. Here comes the second last one. Number two is hoverboards. We see so many hoverboard injuries right after Christmas. They break their forearms and their elbows and sometimes their heads. Also, they can literally light your house on fire. Are they still around? They were huge in like 2016.

I nearly bought one a couple of weeks ago. I really want one. I always really wanted one. And when they came out, I was so poor and I couldn't afford one. And the radio station I was working at gave away so many of them when they were big. We played a soccer game where everyone was on a hoverboard. Yeah, that's a great idea.

And there was multiple injuries. Multiple. So she's got a point. Okay, hoverboard, sure. And here is the top toy that this pediatric emergency doctor would never get kids. Number one should not be a surprise to anyone. It is trampolines. I detest trampolines.

They literally keep the emergency department and the orthopedics team in business. Oh, come on. I broke my brother's arm on a trampoline. Oh, come on. Trampolines have come a long way, surely. Nah, but I don't want to get I've got the nets now. I don't want to get the kids the bloody safety

one where it looks like you're bloody going into a tent. No, they love that. Their parents love that too because you can zip them in and then you know where they are. Nothing builds character like getting double bounced off a trampoline and having your hoo-ha land in between the springs and then pinching the sides of your legs. I don't even think you can buy those tramps anymore.

I think they're gone. We had that tramp and we didn't have any safety pads for it. Neither did we. And my nan goes, well, if you're very good, I'll get you some safety pads for Christmas. I think they're a collector's edition now. Bree and Clint. In a Radio First, we are going to find five different ways

over five different days to talk about the movie Love Actually. Pretty easy. Pretty easy. Pretty easy. It's like 40 different storylines that all connect. Yesterday in the show we asked you the question, oh yeah, did your best friend try to steal your partner? Turns out, yes. A lot of you, it has happened to you.

We talked to one lady whose dad was dating her auntie and then shacked up with her sister and then had kids with the person who was that lady that called us his mum. Yeah. And then at Christmas... The sisters are still friends. Well, yeah. They're still friends, they're still sisters. Today on the show we want to focus on the late Alan Rickman's character.

If you don't know who Alan Rickman is, he played Snape in Harry Potter, but he also played one of the most hated characters in my world. I don't think I've ever hated a character more. In Love Actually, he goes out with the mum that loves Joni Mitchell. Yeah, Emma Thompson's character. Emma Thompson's character. Yeah. And the girl at work, the receptionist, starts flirting with him and then he goes out to buy a gift for her.

A gold necklace. And Emma Thompson thinks it's for her and then turns out on Christmas Day she unwraps her present and it's a Joni Mitchell CD. It's not the gold necklace that she saw him buying and then she figures it out that he's actually got a mistress and the gift was for her. And she thought there was something fishy going on all along and then she saw the necklace and she's like,

no, surely this is for me. And the necklace is in the same size box as the CD and it does the most to get her hopes up and then you just watch her get eviscerated in front of her whole family. I've never forgiven Alan Rickman for that. You're still mad at him? I'm still mad at him.

If you're not, maybe this will refresh your memory. I think I want this one. I have, of course, bought the traditional scarf as well, but this is my other slightly special personal one. Thank you. Rip it. What is it? I'm going to it.

All right, I'll rip it. What is it? I'm going to... All right, I'll rip it. God, that's a surprise. What is it? It's a CD. Tony Mitchell. Wow. To continue your emotional education. Yes. You a-hole. I'm coming for you, Alan Rickman.

If you hadn't already passed away, I I'm coming for you, Alan Rickman. If you hadn't already passed away, I would be coming for you. So today, our very relatable talk topic to do with the movie Love Actually is a two-parter. First part, did your partner buy a

gift for their lover and you caught them out? The person they were cheating on you with, you caught them out buying them a present, a hotel room, a something, some lingerie, something like that? Do you still hate Alan Rickman for what he did in the movie Love Actually, even though he's already passed away? We will take calls on both of those two things, whether you caught them buying a gift

or you just can't bring yourself to forgive the late Ellen Rickman. 0800 dial ZM. Fill the phones up on day two of our Love Actually Big Phone Topic Talkathon. How dare he? Emma Thompson's awesome. And it's his wife. How dare he? How very dare he.

Screams midlife crisis. Doesn't it? Brie and Clint. Five days of figuring out how to talk about the movie Love Actually in the lead up to Christmas. Today our question for you is a double banger. We want to know, did your partner give a gift to their lover and you found out about it?

Or do you still hate Alan Rickman for what he did to Emma Thompson in Love Actually? Now, look, obviously we're saying it in jest. We don't actually hate Alan Rickman. I love this text that has come through, though. A sign of a great actor is making the audience despise the character. Rest in power, Alan Rickman. He was such a good actor actor and that's why we hate

him so much or his character in the film. Did you see the other stuff? I never knew this. The Emma Thompson real life stuff. Emma Thompson's character in Love Actually gets cheated on by Alan Rickman. We've just found out that Emma Thompson in real

life got cheated on by her husband who cheated on her with Helena Bonham Carter. Which, who's that? Helena Bonham Carter is the one that's in all the Tim Burton movies. She's Sweeney Todd's wife. She is, Claudia, who else? What other big parts does Helena Bonham Carter play? She's in Harry Potter.

She was Bellatrix. Yeah. She's Tim Burton's wife. These are all movies I haven't seen. Yeah. Is she Tim Burton's wife? She's Tim Burton's real life wife. Yeah, right. Yeah. She's Tim Burton's wife. These are all movies I haven't seen. Yeah. Is she Tim Burton's real life wife? Yeah, right. Right.

So apparently Emma Thompson's husband was Kenneth Brunner. Yeah. And cheated on her in real life. Okay, well, I hate that guy even more than I hate Alan Rickman. That's life imitating art, imitating life, imitating art. But anyway, we have got calls on our double banger phone topic. Let's go to Darren first. Hi, Darren. Hi, Darren. Hi, Darren.

How are you? We're good. Now, did you love or buy a gift for someone else, or do you just hate Alan Rickman? I can't stand Alan Rickman after he took over Yakimoto Towers. Oh, and Die Hard. Another great performance from Alan Rickman that made us hate him even more.

Between that and what he did to Harry Potter for six of the seven books, it's really hard. I manipulated Harry Potter for years. It's really hard to forgive Alan Rickman, rest in peace, isn't it, Darren? Yep, and especially with Die Hard, it's a great Christmas movie. I'd have to agree with you. It's one of my favourite Christmas films. Okay, Darren.

Hey, Merry Christmas. Will you be watching Die Hard this Christmas? I will be. But not because of Alan Rickman. No. No. Yeah. Thanks, mate.

Appreciate it. Let's go to Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. You don't necessarily hate Alan Rickman. You caught somebody, didn't you? I did.

Tell us about it. How did you catch him? So I was dating this guy for about 10 years off and on, and he sent my sister six red roses and six white roses. Okay, that's a bit weird. What for? Just for a gift for this person, but it turns out it wasn't actually for my sister.

It was for his bit on the side while he was dating me who had the same name as my sister. Oh, my God. How did that happen? Where's the mistake? Apparently, he typed in the wrong name into the address for the delivery when he texts the thing to get delivered. What an idiot.

Oh, my God. Did he fess up when you confronted him about it, Anonymous? He did. My sister and I both confronted him, and that's when he told us the truth. Yeah. Hey, Anonymous, did your sister keep the flowers anyway, though? Oh, her and I did.

We shared them. Yeah, nice. Good on you. Thanks, An of us. It's just like this text. It says, my now ex-partner bought me some earrings

and I know his girlfriend helped him choose them. I still wear them, though. They're red. What? His girlfriend had good choice into good-tasted earrings.

But, so you know that he's got a girlfriend. Then does he know that you know that he's got a girlfriend then does he know that you know that he's got a girlfriend? No, I think they've broken up but she's kept the earrings is what she's saying. Oh, gotcha. Yeah. Gotcha. Or he doesn't

know that she knows that he's got a mistress. Oh, right. And she's just milking it for the free gilt jewellery. I don't know. Scandal. Either way. Either way. Either way. Glad she had good taste. Yeah, at least she got some good earrings out of it. It's the main thing.

Two days, two successful milkings of the 2003 Christmas movie, Love Actually. Let's get classical. Cool. This is our classical music corner. It's where we, you know, we're just getting cultured. We're expanding, we're broadening our musical palette. I don't know if I can get cultured.

Reckon? Yeah, I feel like I'm a lost cause. I do my best, but, like, I feel like I'm at my peak culturedness. Like I called, this year, I called the Palace of Versace, oh no. Versailles. I called the Palace of, see? The Palace of Versailles, the Palace of Versailles. It takes time.

It's going to take time for all of us. I stand by. As a boy from Rotorua, it takes time. You know, you've got to. Nah, the country's never going to Vesalus. It takes time. It's going to take time for all of us. I stand by. As a boy from Rotorua, it takes time. You know, you've got to... Nah, the country's never going to come out of me. I'm too country. Grew up on an apple farm, didn't wear shoes. People from the country can be cultured.

Not me. What are you saying? People from the country can't be cultured? I'm just saying not me. Right, okay. In particular. Anyway, we're going to try and decipher these pop songs in classical form with the help of producer Claudia.

Hi, Claudia. Hello. Today, not only are they pop songs, they're Christmas pop songs. In classical style. In classical style, yeah. Recorded at the Palace of Vesalius. Yeah, or Vesalius. Can I just say, before we move on,

don't you think my version of the Palace of Vesai sounds better? Vesalius? The Palace of Vesalius,illes sounds better. Versailles? The Palace of Versailles. What do you think sounds fancier? The Palace of Versailles or the Palace of Versailles? Versailles. You guys are just saying that. Ella, you'll tell me the truth.

What? You'll tell me the truth. Palace of Versailles or Palace of Versailles? Oh, that second one sounds better. Thank you. I know I can always count on you. But she doesn't know the place that you're talking about. Exactly, and that's why I can trust her.

So tell me, where is it from? Where is it? I've got no clue. Can we play the game? Can we play the game? Yeah, guys, I want to play my game. I've worked hard on this. Sorry, Claude. So this is Let's Get Classical.

I've taken a Christmas pop song and turned it classical, and you just need to tell me what it is. Okay. So buzz in with your name if you can tell me the artist and the name of the song. Good luck. Thank you. Brie.

Brie. No idea. Brie. Brie. Ariana Grande, Santa Tell Me. You'll never believe it. Thatie. Ariana Grande. Santa Tell Me. You'll never believe it. That's right.

Yeah. Maybe I am the cultured one on this show. Oh, your tune has changed. You are the cultural authority on all things Ariana Grande. Is culture growing on my milk? Yuck. As cultured as I'll get. Okay, that's one point to Brie, but Clint, you can bring it back. Here's another one.

Brie. Brie. That is Justin Bieber mistletoe. She's only gone and done it. Yeah. Fire. Bieber mistletoe. She's only gone and done it. Yeah. Okay, can you give it a three-peat? Alright, let's give it a whirl.

Here's the final song. Free. Free. All I want for Christmas is you. Oh, look at you go. Can we hear the classical version of this? Yeah. Mariah Carey, All I Want for Christmas is You. Oh, look at you go. God, is this my category? Can we hear the classical version of this? Yes. I don't know.

Wow. It sounds like Disney. It does, eh? Yeah. Like a Disney princess movie. You'll probably hear this in Versailles. Vesalus. Vesalus, Claude.

Sorry. My bad. Bree and Clint. According to a study done in 2008, the most popular day of the year for people to break up was yesterday, December the 11th. That was International Breakup Day. And the reason why they say is because people feel like it's not too close to Christmas.

Yeah. But it's far enough away from Christmas where, you know, it's not going to be as awkward. Which, spoiler, it's way too close to Christmas. It's pretty close. If that's your reason for not breaking up with someone, if you're blindsiding them, that person has already planned Christmas with you. Yeah, I think December 1st is your cut off. Yeah. The same time you're putting up your Christmas tree, you need to be doing all your breaking up.

Interestingly, New Zealand is a bit of an outlier in these statistics. The New Zealand Herald have spoken with a divorce and separation coach. Yeah. And they said that the most common time for Kiwis to break up is actually in late January to early February, just after the holiday period is when we do the bulk of our breaking up. So have their summer together. They said couples generally shelve the unresolved issues leading into the silly season. They just park them, bury them deep down inside.

Don't talk about them, don't talk about them, don't talk about them, unless you get too drunk on Christmas or New Year's and then it all boils to the surface. And then in the new year, as like part of their resolutions, they start working on their relationship and themselves and they go, you know what?

It's just not working. I can't do another year of this relationship. So late January, early Feb is when breakups peak for New Zealanders. Or you just don't want to go through that awkward time where you have to go home to your family and they're like, where's such and such? And you're like, oh, we broke up.

And then all you talk about for all Christmas with all your family. Oh, yeah. You know, like maybe they just don't want to deal with that and they were like, sweet. Oh, yeah. Let's just, and maybe you discuss it. Maybe you're like, we both want to break up with each other. Let's just not.

Yeah. And get through the holidays. You come to my family, just put on a brave face, smile, eat the turkey. Get the free food. Laugh at dad's jokes. Get the presents. I'll come to yours. I'll do the same.

I'll drink with Nana. We'll get through it. And then after that, we cut this thing off. Yeah. Someone texts through and said, my daughter almost broke up with her boyfriend, but because we've got him presents, she didn't. Oh. Stuff that if she wants to break up with him,

you take the presents back. Yeah. Keep them for yourself. Unless it's like a beach towel with his name embroidered on it, that'd be a bit of a... If you can return it, then you break up with him. We're ruthless, eh? Either way, yesterday was break-up day, internationally, and we want

to conduct a bit of an experiment this afternoon on the Brianne Clint show. Is that actually true? Yeah. Like they sang that yesterday, December 11th, is the most common day out of the whole entire year to get broken up with. Globally. Yeah, globally. So we're going to run our own survey.

Is that actually true? Is it you that got broken up with yesterday or do you know someone that got broken up with? We're going to put these results to the test. We understand it might be a raw nerve, so you can text us if you would like as well, but we would love to hear from you. 0800 dial ZM or text us on 9696.

Did you get broken up with on breakup day yesterday? Did you dump somebody on breakup day yesterday? Has your best friend been at your house crying on your couch since yesterday because of breakup day? Let us know and let's see what the results are after this. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint hard-hitting investigative journalism this afternoon as we endeavour to find out yesterday being International Breakup Day.

Is that true? Did anybody break up yesterday on International Breakup Day? We're looking into some of these claims because it says that globally December 11th is the most common day to be broken up with. And it is happening out there. It is happening. We have someone joining us on the phone who wants to

remain anonymous right now. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. Who broke up on breakup day? My best friend and her boyfriend of six years broke up. Six years, Anonymous. Yeah. They've got a house together and everything.

No. And they broke up yesterday. Uh-huh. Did she see it coming? No, not at all. Out of the blue? Completely out of the blue. 13 days before Christmas. Uh-huh.

What did he say? We're having Christmas and New Year's together and everything. Oh, my God. What did he say the reason was, Anonymous? Just fell out of love. So heartbreaking. I smell a rat. Fell out of love? Yeah. Out I smell a rat. Fell out of love?

Yeah. Out of the blue. Out of the blue. Fell out of love. I smell a bit of BS. Yeah, I smell a bit of BS too. My BS meter. I mean, I don't know.

It could be true. It could be true. What are you going to do for your best friend? How do you help somebody in that situation? Anonymous? I am making plans to go and be with her for a bit. That's a hard

time to be on your own. Also a very fun time to be on your own. Definitely. We're having a single girl's New Year's now. Hell yeah, Anonymous! Are you single too? Yeah. Oh, you're the friend she needs right now. You're a GB, Anonymous.

You take her out. You take her out, Anonymous. You take his New Year ticket. And you show her the time of her life. You get her the best New Year's, the hottest New Year's kiss you can find. Oh, hell yeah. Yes, Anonymous. Okay, thank you, Anonymous.

Thank you for contributing to the study. We appreciate it. Diane is here. Hi, Diane. Hi, Diane. Oh, hi. You want to refute this evidence that December the 11th

is not the heartbreaking breakup day that it's made out to be. Yeah, that's right. Why? Because that's mine and my husband's wedding anniversary. Oh, no. So we celebrated that yesterday

and we've been married for 10 years. Diane. We've been together for 15. Yeah. Diane, can I ask, did you pick that wedding day so that if he ever did forget your anniversary, you would break up with him on the most common day to break up with someone, December 11th? Well, I didn't even realise it was a breakup day. I love that. I love that. You've really backed yourself in there for the win.

Also, if either of you ever do want to break up with each other, you can't do it on breakup day. You can't break up with someone on your wedding anniversary. That's just sadistic. No. And then of course because my husband's brother likes to follow him for everything, so he also got married on the 11th of December.

Oh! I mean, it is a nice day to break up with someone if you want to keep it, you know, the number round. We were married for eight years to the day. Wait, Diane, did you get married 10 years ago? Did you get married on the 11th of the 12th

13? Yes, that's right. 11th, 12th, 13th, so we don't forget it. I love that. I love that. That's got some, yeah, that's nice. Okay. Thanks, Diane. We'll add it to our research. We'll chuck that in there.

We will keep that in mind. Someone said, my son broke up with his girlfriend yesterday. There you go. There's another one. Breakup day. Another one on breakup day. And a few other people texting through

saying that there was a few other breakups as well. My ex-wife moved out on Christmas Eve. It said we were very amicable, but we just knew it was over and it was time to part ways. I was a part of a Christmas month where there was a breakup on Christmas Eve. Really? It was horrible. Oh, you told me about that. Oh, my God.

Yeah. And the whole family had gone away. It was just the worst. you told me about that. Oh, my God. Yeah. And the whole family had gone away. It was just the worst. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember you telling me about that. And then I totally. I had like second hand PTSD. Oh, it was just horrible.

It was so horrible. And so I do understand when people just go, we'll do it after the holidays. It'll be easier. Let's just deal with it now. It's okay. Separate rooms or we'll just do a pillow wall down the middle of the bed. No, you just grin and bear it until after the holidays. It'll be easier. Let's just deal with it now. It's okay. Separate rooms. Yeah. We'll just do a pillow wall down the middle of the bed. No, you just grin and bear it until after the holidays.

It's easier for everyone. Let's do it, guys. For a Tuesday, your birthday bangers. Number one songs when you turn 16. Archie's going to go first. Hi, Archie. G'day, Archie. Hey, Jan. Got any brothers, Archie? Yeah to go first. Hi, Archie. G'day, Archie. How you going?

Yeah, good. Yeah. From two years ago. Love it. Good work, Archie. Wait there. We're going to do a birthday banger for Lucy Cutalose. Lucy.

Hello. How are you? Good, thank you. Lucy. Hello. How are you? Good, thank you, Lucy. How's your day been? Good, thanks. I just want to give you a shout-out, Brie. I think you're a legend. Oh, thank you, Lucy.

That's made my day. Well, I think you're a legend. Let's see if you've got a birthday banger to match. What's your birthday? Monday, January 1995. Are you a Capricorn, Lucy? Yes, yeah. That's why we get along.

We're both Capricorns. You were 16, though, in 2011. And back on your 16th, this was number one. Oh, yeah, Luce. Oh, not bad. Some classic Britney Spears. Is that from the Circus album? Sounds like it.

Yeah. Are you a Britney fan,cus album? Sounds like it. Yeah. Are you a Britney fan, Luce? Yeah. It's okay. It's fine. Your voice went real high then. Yeah. Yeah.

It's all right. Okay, wait there. We're going to do one more birthday banger for Erica. Kia ora, Erica. Hi, Erica. Hi, guys. How's it going, team? Yeah, we're good.

Are you on your way home from work? I'm on my way home from work. But listen, I've got to tell you, I love a bit of Britney. So I'm feeling a bit conflicted here. Okay, okay. It's going to be better than Britney for it to be the birthday banger you want. You never know. You could get Britney.

So let's figure that out. What's your birthday? 30th of November, 1987. Oh, you could easily get Britney. Yeah. I know. I mean, listen, it's my era. Here we go.

You were 16 in 2003. Brittany was definitely around, but let's see what you get. Baby boy, stay on my mind. Come on, girl. Sean Paul. Beyonce, Sean Paul. Baby boy. What do you reckon, Erica?

Better than Beyonce? I mean, better than Brittany? It's not terrible, but I'm definitely more team Britney, unfortunately. Okay, well, we're going to factor that into our decision, okay? No, no, no. I want to win. Oh, you want to win. Erica's like, but you can vote for me.

I do like Erica's song, Baby Boy. Sean Paul gives it a bit of extra flavour. Yeah, it does. I've got to go with my girl, Lucy. Hold it against me, Britney. I agree. I think that's just a bit of a hidden gem, that song. It's not a song. It's like a forgotten era of Britney. I think so, Britney. I agree. I think that's just a bit of a hidden gem, that song. It's not a song.

It's like a forgotten era of Britney. I think so too. Yeah. Hey, Lucy, you're going to be our winner today for Birthday Banger. Oh my gosh, amazing. Thank you so much. Lucy's like, are you sure you want to play my song though? I know.

It's called Hold It Against Me, and I think it was a good choice.

I love it. Can you just play the start of it one more time? Because the start of that song slaps. Oh, yeah, right from there. Yeah, just this part. The part where she kicks in here at the start, you forget how good it is. Banger.

We can do your birthday banger tomorrow. If you want to know the number one song on your 16th birthday, just call us at 5 o'clock when we kick it off Guys Clint get the drum roll ready Because I do have some pretty big Life news to report on And tell the listener

Fano Big life news for me I've got boobs I've got a breast enlargement Enlargement? Enlargement yeah Justlargement, yeah. Just perkier. No, I didn't.

I didn't. But I mean, wouldn't mind it in 10 years. My partner and I settled on a house yesterday. Yay! It's been one of the most stressful times in my whole life and I never ever thought in my lifetime that I would ever own a home. I never thought I would and I don't want to sound like I'm bragging

because trust me, we have the biggest debt you've ever seen and the house is a dual rupper, that's for sure. But I also am super excited for my partner and I, and I'm super proud of myself because I've worked my ass off to get to this point to even be able to own something really small for us to, you know, take the next step into our, you know, future.

But the funniest thing ever happened yesterday because we settled on the house, we got the keys, and we decided for the first day that we were going to have the house we would get some takeaways and we'd go sit in the backyard and we'd eat our first meal at the house even though we're not we weren't moving in yesterday yeah but we thought oh it's exciting you know this is a big deal anyway so went around to the house with my partner and we're eating the takeaways in the backyard. Our dogs are there. They're going ballistic. They're loving it. And it's all very exciting. It's very fun. And anyway, so we've got all these different keys that we've just been

handed to this, you know, this new house and it's an old property. Like it's a very old property. And so it's got all these weird janky locks like some of the locks look like they're from the 1940s and i'm like how do i even unlock this you got to change those you know i oh it's got it but it has like three locks so it's got a lock from like the 1940s and then like a new like a mid like 1980s lock and then like a new deadbolt lock yeah anyway so we're having a look inside and we're exploring and it's very fun and it's exciting and the dogs are running around. And at one point I've gone back outside out to the backyard

to clean up, you know, our food and stuff. And my partner's also come outside and the back door has slammed shut. Okay. And I've kind of looked at my partner and then she looked at me and I was like, do you reckon that door's locked itself? Oh. And it was at that point where we realised that we'd completely locked ourselves out of our new house.

You hadn't snipped the latch and it had closed shut behind you. Oh. I don't even know exactly what we did. But the first time that we've went over after months and months of trying to get this organised and we've locked ourselves out of the new house straight away. But your car keys are in there.

So my partner's car keys were in there. Her wallet was in there. All of the house keys were in there. Were the dogs inside or outside? Thank God they were outside. And I still had my car keys. So what did you do? So to be honest, it was quite late. So we just went back,

got her spare set of car keys, went back, picked up the car and just left all the lights on in the new house because it would have cost a fortune to get a locksmith out at that time. Yeah. So we called a locksmith today, $197. To break into your own house. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I just had this thought, though, where I was like, will they even believe that this is my house? Like, there's no furniture in it. That's a really good point. Did they ask you to prove it? Well, it was actually our friend that went out.

I wonder if locksmiths do ask. Of course they do. Of course they have to. How do you prove that it's your house? Show something with your address on it. Show some photos of you inside? You'd be like, this is me inside the house. This is me with the house.

Please believe me anyway. It was so funny though Because we were so proud And we were so excited Yeah yeah And it's a big deal for us And something we never thought We'd be able to do

And then it was just so Like fitting That we locked ourselves Out of the house On the first night You have to change the locks On a new house Because you don't know

Who's got the old keys To your house I hope it's someone hot You want to give a You want to give like a Hot home invasion Yeah No I definitely hot you want to give a you want to have like a hot home invasion no i definitely don't want to do that no uh we will do that uh but we're not moved in yet so it's all good uh i thought we could ask people though because i'm so interested like when you

lock yourself out of somewhere it doesn't have to just be a house can be a house but it's so frustrating maybe it's a car. Maybe it's your workplace. One time when I was working at this radio station and you needed a swipe card to get up the lift and I was the only person there on a Sunday morning at like 5.30 in the morning running the radio station on my own and I went downstairs to get a coffee, then somehow lost

my swipe card and the radio station was just like running by itself and I was like called my boss and I was like you're going to have to come let me in. There's amazing audio of Marcus Lush who does the night show on Newstalk ZB who locked himself out of his studio in Invercargill and then

called the studio in Auckland and did the whole radio show over his phone while he was locked out of the studio. That's did the whole radio show over his phone while he was locked out of the studio. That's so funny. Isn't it ridiculous? Oh, 100 dollars and then we'll text us to 9696. We want to know your bad locked out stories. Where did you get locked out of?

How long were you naked when you got locked out? Maybe it was a hotel and you were naked. That happened to a friend of mine once. True story. Bree and Clint. My partner and I got the keys yesterday to our first home together. It is a shithole. But it's a do-or-upper and it's ours and we're excited about it.

We went over there first day with the keys and we're having a look around and then we locked ourselves out of the house. Idiot. The car keys were inside, all the house keys, all the lights were on. So now you know that as soon as you move into the house, the first thing you're going to do, what's the first thing you're going to do?

Take a poo probably? No, hide a spare key somewhere. This is my house, I can poo in any toilet I want. No, you're going to hide a spare key. I'm sorry, yeah, hide a spare key. You're going to figure out the best place to hide the spare key somewhere. This is my house. I can poo in any toilet I want. No, you're going to hide a spare key. I'm sorry, yeah, hide a spare key. You're going to figure out the best place to hide the spare key. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. It's such good life advice.

And then you can poo to your heart's content. Exactly. So we want to know this afternoon, where did you awkwardly get locked out of? Let's talk to Chrissy on our 800 dials at M. Hi, Chrissy. Hi, Chrissy. Hi.

Hi, guys. Congratulations, Brie. Thank you, Chrissy. I'm very excited. I appreciate that. But we want to know, where did you get locked out of? So I, many years ago, arrived in London, staying with friends of friends who flew off to their holiday in Japan.

My first night in London, and I decided to order a pizza. It arrived, and I'm in one of those terrace houses, like those joint-getter houses. And I go to the front pizza. It arrived, and I'm in one of those terrace houses, like those joint-getter houses. And I go to the front door for the pizza, and the inner door, which is the door to my, where I was staying, closed behind me. And that's me, basically, in a pair of boxer shorts and a T-shirt with a pizza.

At least you had the pizza. Yeah, I was going to say. I had the pizza. Yeah. The people are in Japan for the next, like, two weeks. And, yeah, so it was quite a palaver convincing the neighbours that I was the person that should be in that house. Who you said you were.

Not a half-nude burglar who was bringing their own pizza. I know. And going upstairs, you know, going up over the top and then down into the backyard. Found a rake and some wire. I could see the keys on the table, but they were like... Oh, no, Chrissie. One room to another.

So I had to contract through the cat door, you know, the arm through the cat door. What a nightmare. Far out. What a nightmare. In a strange country, in a city that you don't recognise. Where most people don't speak English. What a nightmare for her. Oh, no, they're speaking.

Wasn't she in London? I thought she said she was in Japan. No, she was in... Where did I get Japan? Chrissy, you were in London, weren't you? I was in London. The owners of the house had gone to Japan. Oh, okay, right.

That was the confusion. I could not call them and ask them to come back. Yeah, gotcha, gotcha. I was like, there's not much more English anywhere than in London. Yeah, I was like, where did I get Japan from? Someone texted through and said, I managed to lock myself out of my car after just having filled the back with rubbish bags

for a trip to the tip. Better yet, it was at a beach house, an hour from the nearest town in Locksmith. It smelt for hours. Yeah, wow. What a disaster. That'll teach you to do the right thing and be the bins person, I guess. Let's talk to Catherine. I know at $100.00 Hi, Catherine. Hi, Catherine. Hi, how are you going? Good, thanks.

Where did you get locked out of, Catherine? It was an office, but it was my first day on the job and I'd been sent to the old office to do some things there, and the door locked behind me. So I'd gone in, and I'd put the keys down, and the door had locked behind me, and I was just, like, too petrified to, like, ring the boss and say this had happened.

So I talked to, like, other people in the business park, like, do you have a spare key? And this girl said, I've got a fishing rod in my boot. And I was like, no way. She got out her fishing rod and she, like, fed it up into the window and then, like, down and managed to, like, hook my keys on. Did you get it?

You're kidding me. Did this actually happen? What? This is a true story. So I was just, like, hugging her. I was like, I'm so, like. This is like the same lock game. I don't want to like tell the manager this is happening. It will look real bad.

So she got my keys out and I was just like so grateful. I went and picked her up like a box of beers. Yeah, you got to do it. Thank you so much. What a dream. I'm curious, Catherine, what kind of bait did she use to hook the keys? I literally know nothing about fishing. She just did something.

She like poked it in the window. I think a lure. I think a lure. Keys would be attracted to a lure. The trick is really when you get the keys, you've got to club them to death quickly and painlessly.

You don't want them to suffer. You don't want them to suffer. Listen to this one. I was in the halls of residence for students and I got locked out of my room after a hookup and I wasn't wearing any pants.

I had to call reception to let me back into my room. So embarrassing. Oh, that is the worst. Please tell me, if that person's still listening to the radio right now, please tell me when you say no pants. Like there's no pants and there's no pants. I hope it's a full Donald Duck situation.

If there's undies, it's fine. Like I'm fine with getting caught with undies on. Someone else said, I locked myself into Polytech when I was studying. In? There was different areas and I went to the computer suite with a friend. She left a few hours later and I realised my car keys, house keys, wallet, everything was in the other area. It was two in the morning and I had to pull an all-nighter

and wait for the cleaners to come in at 5.30. What an idiot. They would have got a huge shock. Oh, that poor person. Sam's last up. Sam, where did you get locked out of? Hi. Side note, long-time listener, first-time caller.

Oh, wait a second, Sam. Wait a second, Sam. Hold on. Hold on, first-time caller. Oh, wait a second, Sam. Just wait. Just tie her up for a second. Hold on. Hold on. First-time caller. First-time caller. We do love to celebrate you, Sam.

We appreciate you finally calling and listening for such a long time. Welcome to the show. Thanks. I got locked out, so I used to have to do the Christmas deliveries for a company I used to work for. Right. And I went into town in Auckland, into a building. Little did I know at the time, you needed a swipe card to get into the lift. Okay. But the people were getting off, I walked in, and I was trapped in the lift.

For how long? Luckily only for about five minutes before one of the guys came back because he left his wallet in his office. In that five minutes though you run through the worst scenarios possibly. You're like, if I have to pee I'll pee in that corner. You're like, this could be hangover too.

I could be in here for days. Thanks Sam, we appreciate it. Getting stuck in a lift is the worst place. Terrifying. That's the last place I'd want to get stuck. Bree and Clint. A compilation of the most mispronounced words of 2023 has been curated by a group called the Captioning Group in the US and British Institute of, it's called Verbatim Reporters.

Right. So essentially what they've done is they've identified the words that had news anchors, politicians and public figures frequently tongue-tied. Okay. So these are the words that they tripped up on the most in 2023. Travis Kelchie. That's on there.

Is it? It's actually, well, it gets a special mention where obviously Travis Kelsey, when he started dating Taylor Swift, we were all deliberating over how to pronounce his last name. I think we said Couchy the first time we talked about him. I read somewhere that they asked their dad how to pronounce it and he's like, you pronounce it however you want.

We don't care. That doesn't help, Dad. I know. It doesn't solve the problem at all. Anyway, so that was on the list. His last name is Swift. You pronounce it Swift. Yeah, because people were saying, is it Kels, Kelsey, or Kelchie?

Anyway, it turns out most people say Kelsey. That's how you pronounce it. But these are the other ones that tripped up these people the most. US singer, SZA. Oh, yeah, SZA. SZA. A lot of people apparently tripped up on that. Which, I mean...

Which, fair enough. Yeah, fair enough. It is a little bit difficult. But I would argue SZA has been around for a while now. Yeah, but until she comes into your, until you know about SZA, you don't know that it's SZA, you're not just going to see it for the first time, capital S, capital Z, capital A, and go, well, that's clearly SZA.

She couldn't name it. Your SZA sisters were already taken. So she had to go with, you know, the shortened version. The Oppenheimer actor, do you know who I'm going to say? Yes. You're going to say? Yes. You're going to say Cillian Murphy. Cillian Murphy is on the list. People getting very confused with how to say his name.

Let's say Cillian. Cillian Murphy because that's how it's spelt. He's Irish. Makes sense. Cillian Murphy is the correct pronunciation. Karl Lagerfeld's cat is on the list for the most mispronounced names or words. Yeah. So do you know what the name of Karl Lagerfeld's cat is?

No. The name of his cat is Choupette. Oh, yeah. But it's spelled C-H-O-U-P-E-T-T-E. So you can see why people would pronounce it wrong. How inherited Choupette when Karl Lagerfeld died? I'm pretty sure Choupette got his entire fortune. Really?

The cat? I'm pretty sure. Damn. Got left Karl Lagerfeld's entire fortune and is the heir to the whole thing. We're looking to take on a second cat if Choupette is looking for somewhere. Oh, mate. It's the most bloody rich cat in the world. Since Grumpy Cat.

Bloody Choupette. Oh, mate, it's the most bloody rich cat in the world. Since Grumpy Cat. Bloody shoe pet. On the UK's list of challenging pronunciations was Padam, Kylie Minogue's song. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Padam. Padam, Padam. Few people got tripped up. That's because she made up that word.

No. Oh, did she not? No, Padam is the heartbeat. Is it? I'm pretty sure. Okay. Like, you know when you see it on a heart monitor heartbeat. Is it? I'm pretty sure. Okay. Like you know when you see it on a heart monitor? Really?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. So a doctor says to you your padams are out of? No, but I think it's something to do with the heartbeat. It's like the medical term maybe. But people got mixed up with that. And one of the other big ones, and I'm going to get this wrong, the Stone of Scone, which was around King Charles' coronation, which is pronounced Stoon of Scone. You pronounced it right, and then it is from Scotland, the stone,

so you've added the right inflection. The Stone of Scone. Apparently a lot of people are getting tripped up on that. The stone of scone. Yeah. Yeah. The stone of scone. Oh, he's sitting on the stone of scone.

So there it is, the most mispronounced words of 2023. Get it right, people. Bree and Clint. Would you sell your dog for a price or your pet, just so it makes it more universal for people listening. There's a woman on TikTok who has claimed, I don't know if I believe the story, but let's just say it's true. Sure.

Just for the argument's sake. She said that she was offered a large amount of money for her Doberman pincher puppy. I love a Doberman. These puppy. I love a Doberman. These are quite rare, the Doberman pinchers. And she said that she was approached and offered a large sum of money. We do have audio here of her talking about how much she was offered. Someone offered us $200,000 for our puppy,

and I told my husband absolutely f***ing not because I birthed her. Would you guys sell your dogs for $200,000? Like my baby. Like there's no money. I would not sell her. But it just got me thinking. I'm like I wonder if people would have taken that 200k. She birthed her. She birthed her. She's saying it's her fur baby. I would never sell my baby is what she's saying. How old was this puppy? How long has she had it? It doesn't say in the article, but it's a puppy. So I don't think she's had it for like years and years and years. I think it's a fairly new member to the family. Maybe in the last six months kind of thing.

Maybe. Yeah. The comments on the video, quite 50-50, quite split on whether they would give up their pet for $200,000. Someone said, in this economy, yes. Someone else said, would run upstairs so fast and pack my dog's bags. Someone wrote that. And then there was obviously other people who were like, are you joking?

I would not give up my dog for a million dollars. So let's discuss. Would you give up your pet for $200,000 deliberate? Would I give up my cat for $200,000? $200,000. No, I love my cat. Bowie's not going anywhere. Half a million.

Oh. A million dollars. Would I give up this lady's dog, which I've only had for a couple of months? You know, if I was in her situation, I feel like that's different. Right. You're saying that hasn't been ingrained in the family as much. I don't know. Like, there's

definitely a window. Like, if you'd had the puppy for three weeks. You attach pretty quickly. Well, it depends on who you are. Me as a person, I attach very quickly. Yeah. Like six months, I'd be attached. No, six months, definitely. I'd be attached. No, six months, definitely.

I'd be done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There'd be no way you'd be taking that puppy from me. Because you treat them like a family member at that stage. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Like they would be like embedded in my lifestyle, in my heart. I would never, ever get rid of my dog for $200,000. Claudia has a dog.

You bring off in $200,000 for Kai. Are you taking it or are you leaving it? Not now. No. Because I have had him for a year and a half. You bring off in $200,000 for Kai. Are you taking it or are you leaving it? Not now. No. Because I have had him for a year and a half. But I'm considering, had I just got him, I loved him immediately.

Yeah. Let's say you had him for two months. Oh, that's a long time. But there's a lot of money. There's a lot of money. $200,000. What about you, Ella? Can we ask a further question?

Yeah. Do I get to know where the dog is going? Do I know if the dog is going to a good home? It's going to a good home. Do you get to see them again? No. You don't get to see them ever again. But you know the dog is going to have a good life.

But you know the dog is going to be well looked after and be taken care of. Claudia, that sways it a bit, eh? I just love my dog. Yeah, I know. But you're only two months in. Yeah, it's a life-changing amount of money too. It sounds ridiculous, but I would not give up either of my dogs for a million dollars.

A million dollars? I would not give up my dogs for a million dollars because I would wear the guilt for the rest of my life and I would think about it for the rest of my life and no money is worth taking away one of my animals.

It's just not. But you could wear the guilt from a boat in Greece. Bree and Clint. That, Fano, is the end of the show. Thank you for joining us. Thanks for being here. Thanks for coming. We are going to leave the building now.

I broke my own rule last night and I watched a movie on a weeknight, which is big for me to watch a movie on a weeknight. We've talked about this. It is. I'm not a weeknight movie guy. I stand with my non-weeknight movie watchers. I love a weeknight movie. I'll do it every, I do it most nights. Something took us. Lucy had a

Christmas candle. She's like, we're going to light the Christmas candle. We're going to watch a Christmas movie. And we watched The Family Stone last night. Such a random Christmas movie to watch. Yeah, I was like, where did this come from? Had she seen it before? No, I don't think so. Okay. Stellar cast. It's got a big line up in the cast, yeah. Luke Wilson, Notebook Lady. Rachel McAdams? Yeah. Sex and the City Lady. Rachel McAdams. Yeah.

Sex and the City Lady. Should I just take over? Sarah Jessica Parker. Paul Rudd. No. No? No. Claire Danes from Romeo and Juliet.

Yeah. And lots more. And it's a really good movie. Well, I watch Cool Runnings because I do love a throwback. God, John Candy was such a great actor. Yeah. He's just funny and warm and just, yeah, lovely. I've watched quite a few movies with him in it lately.

Diane Keaton, that's what I was looking for. Oh, yeah, Diane Keaton, yeah. Anyway, there you go. Go watch Family Stone or Cool Runnings. I do recommend. That's our recommendations for you. I see pride. I see power. I see a badass mother who won't take no crap off of nobody.
