The ZM Podcast Network Hi everybody and welcome to an emergency podcast intro which is being recorded before the show because we felt we needed to. Clint's ordered some dirty ladies underwear online. It would seem that way, wouldn't it? I didn't know what it was, I didn't want to... I've just arrived at my desk. You didn't want to go into Clint's business?

Because I bring everyone's mail and I'm like, I don't know about that. Yeah, someone should have hit me up and gone, bro, there's something weird in there, rather than just pretending I was the guy that ordered this. Anyway, let me read to you what the package says. Oh my god, the people out in reception would have seen it. Oh no. Not your landowner.

All those lovely ladies out there would have been like, what is this? I have a package here, addressed addressed to me on my work address. It says my name. The package is from Ladies in Lace. Women's used panties delivery direct to your door for your pleasure. At least 48 hours of wear and play. Not okay.

Question. What? Is there a sender? Can you see? Not that I can see. This was ordered through. It might be inside. It says sealed for maximum freshness.

There's a piece of underwear hanging out of the bag. Are you filming this, Anastasia? There's a piece of lacy underwear hanging out. Do you want some tongs to open it up? I kind of want some kind of gloves Do you want scissors? Nah it'll peel open Do we have gloves?

I think the best you could do is tongs Look it's not even that well sealed You could sanitise your hands again You're fine you already opened it I wonder what size they are You do want them? No your wife you can give them to her as a Christmas present. It's a prank.

It's only a tiny bit of lace. Who? Is this you? Was this you? Got him again. Get him! He full believed it too. I did not think that would have got you.

I was about to go and apologise to so many people. You know that I prank you right at the end of the year every year. You should have known it was coming. It says, you just got pranked. Sorry to break it to you, but there are no used panties in here. No need to get your panties in a twist. Why do you sound so disappointed? Because

this was sent anonymously. However, the sender has left a message for you. Hi, Brie. Just wanted to let you know that you're an amazing radio host. What? Is that what it says? Yeah.

Oh. I thought I would have written a note in there for you. And on the back it says, want to get them back? Get them back by visiting ultimatepranks.co.nz. You know the saddest thing about all of this? How much did you pay for this? Is I spent $60 on that. Really?

Worth every penny. For 60 bucks, I'd expect them to put a real pair of panties in there. Put a real pair in there. For 60 bucks, I would have put in... Mate.

Huh? Oh, wait, now like... Whoa, whoa, whoa. We could have bought our own and done our own package. I don't want those. Unused. Unused.

Also, put your prices up. You're worth more than that. Okay? Well done that Well done Brie can you give us a Clint finding a used pair of underwear On his desk impersonation Have you seen this?

As I said, Drew, leave some ladies for the rest of us. Yeah. You have a good holiday, mate, all right? Yep, thanks. Unicycling off into the sunset with his cash in hand. He's got the cash. He's got the unicycle. Brie and Clint.

It's almost Christmas, and Brie and I are on the hunt for new Christmas songs, like different Christmas songs. Yeah, we're trialling and testing them every day. We've had some good, some bad. Yeah. By bad, do you mean the Justin Bieber Busta Rhymes song? Love the Biebs. This is the good part of it too.

That was on our no thank you pile and a lot of you on the text machine said no thank you to that one. We then tested out this throwback Christmas song from Britney Spears. It's called My Only Wish. People said thumbs up.

Yeah, that passed the test, passed the vibe check. Most people, yeah. So I need to throw a song in the mix today, and you actually have a choice of two songs today. Both from Kelly Clarkson. All right, love Kelly Clarkson. Me too. You can have, from Kelly Clarkson. All right. Love Kelly Clarkson. Me too. You can have from Kelly Clarkson, Christmas.

These both came out this year, by the way, for this Christmas. You can have Kelly Clarkson's Christmas Isn't Cancelled, Just You. I'll be hanging every light I find in this house. Playing Christmas music till I miss you, Christmas. It's a Christmas break-up song. Or you can have Kelly Clarkson and Ariana Grande. Santa, Can't You Hear Me? Which of those tickles your candy cane?

That's hard. Just basically you're picking Kelly Clarkson solo or Kelly and Ari. That's what you need to do. I mean, I think Ariana Grande's had one of the best recent Christmas songs like of the last decade with Santa Tell Me. That's her on her own. Oh, it's hard to tell from that snippet. What do the producers think? I need help.

What do you guys think? Kelly Clarkson on her own? Ben too, both of them. Okay, yeah, Ben, you'd be a good judge then. What are you thinking? I know what my gut's saying. And what's it saying? It's saying Kelly Clarkson on her own.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Just for the vibe of what I heard then. I can't believe you would do that to Ariana Grande. I can't believe you'd cut her like that at Christmas. I love Ariana Grande, but I was just picking based on the melody. It's a good idea. I think so too. Here you go.

This is your new Christmas song for you to tell us. Is this past the Christmas vibe check or not? Is it a yes or is it a no? It's Kelly Clarkson's Christmas Isn't Cancelled, Just You. Let us know what you think on 9696 Bree and Clint. There's been some stats released on what kind of meat

Kiwis prefer on Christmas Day. Beef. What our number one meat selection is. Beef! For Christmas. Well, interestingly, it's not beef. Here are the results. The number one cut of meat we won on Christmas Day is pork slash ham.

With 32%. No, 36%. Number two, our second favourite cut of meat for Christmas Day, in the height of summer Christmas Day Is lamb Yeah that's interesting Yes the poll conducted by Beef and Lamb New Zealand

Said that lamb is more popular than turkey And what would you know number three Beef There you go And the poll conducted by Beef and Lamb New Zealand What about chicken? Chicken's way down at number five. Turkey's at number four.

This smells fishy to me. And coincidentally, fish was number six. So I thought we'll get a real butcher on this afternoon. Please welcome to the show Anastasia's father. It's Marty. G'day, Marty. Hello, Marty. Good afternoon.

How are you? Curator of meats, shall we call you? You can, yeah, if you meats, should we call you? You can, yeah, if you like. From the prestigious, and please, I hope I say this right, Trateur Butchery in Christchurch. They do the best salamis. Bree's gobbled many of your salamis this year.

Marty, I've had too many of your salamis this year. I need another. That's okay. I'll see if New Zealand Post can hurry up and send you one. You supply meat to Cantabrians year round, not just at Christmas. But would you agree with this? Is that correct? Is that how New Zealand's meat habits go at

Christmas? I do think that a lot of people have ham, but ham is also because it's summertime. People want convenience, so they get a ham and they slice a few slices of it in the morning, they slice a few slices for lunch. But things like lamb, because lamb has become so expensive, that becomes a special treat on Christmas time. And that, you know, and it's

not always lamb roast. What about a good rack, Marty? You love a good rack? Rack of lambs are beautiful too, but again, the prices for most people, you know, they say? Rack of lambs are beautiful too, but again, the prices for most people, they say, oh, I can get three times the weight more in a lamb rack or in a butterflied lamb rack. And would you say, Marty, sometimes more is more? No, I think that lamb rack is a nice thing to eat if you have two of you. Right, right.

But not if you have a families of 10 or 12. You know, it's a bit extravagant. You don't want to be doing 20 lamb racks on Christmas Day. I feel like sometimes ladies on Christmas Day, they're like, we'd rather quantity over quality. Really? Yeah. You think that's what the ladies want on Christmas?

They want bulk meat, not quality meat. There's a lot of meat rather than, you know, good quality. Okay, I see what you're getting at. Marty, at Trateur, do you guys do any vegetarian options for Christmas? Yeah, I mean, fortunately, we have lots of vegetarian. And even vegan, don't tell anybody. We make it mushroom stroganoff. And one elderly butcher, a farmer, wanted to know what kind of meat we used

because it was so tender. But I didn't dear want to tell him there's no meat in it at all because it's made from mushrooms. You served an elderly farmer a vegan dish. Your game. That's impressive. It's a little bit eating with Satan, you know what I mean? Marty, I need to know one last

question from me. I mean, you're the expert on all the different cuts of meat. What is your particular favourite meat to chow down on for Christmas? Now, I do think they haven't really mentioned on the list, but salmon is extremely popular as well. A lot of people, and again, there's a little bit to do with the price. It's quite pricey, and people like salmon. You can do it in the barbecue, you can do it in the oven,

and it's just like a light substitute to meat. It's quite pricey, and people like it. Some you can do in the barbecue, you can do it in the oven, and it's just like a light substitute to meat. Yeah, good point. Salmon and fish were down at number six. Vegetarian was seventh, but it was still ahead of venison on Christmas. Turns out nobody wants venison for Christmas. I'm going to be Devo the venison fan. It's reindeer, though, isn't it?

Isn't that what venison is? Yeah, you can cook it badly. People don't want to eat Santa's reindeer on Christmas. I'm going to be Devo, the venison farmer. It's reindeer though, isn't it? Isn't that what venison is? Yeah, you can cook it badly. People don't want to eat Santa's reindeer on Christmas. I've had Rudolph. He's delish. There you go. That's your scoop on meats for Christmas

and if you need some, you should visit Trateur in, what's the suburb that you guys are in in Christchurch, Martin? In Merrillville. In Merrillville in Christchurch.

No one does a better cut of meat or a spicier salami. Put aside about 12 salamis, Marty. I'll see you in January. Merry Christmas. And you have a wonderful Christmas as well. Thank you, Randy.

Thank you, Marty. Bye. Bye-bye. That's Anastasia's dad. Love you, Marty. You hot man. Want to talk TikTok trends? She was one.

Well, she was, yeah. She was all over TikTok this year Was all over TikTok So many people have gotten on TikTok I saw one from Megan Trainor this morning Where her song One of her songs that she released I think back in 2016

2014 Which didn't do very well Is blowing up on TikTok now It's amazing eh It's crazy Well OMC The the New Zealand, well, he was actually one artist. How bizarre, that song.

Blew up. Blew up, like 25 years later. He's passed away, so he doesn't get to hear about it, but isn't it insane? I know. And then you see, you know, all different types of bands

coming back on TikTok. Yeah. Trending again. I thought we could cover off because the stats have been released for the biggest TikTok songs of the year. Oh yeah. Which I'm really interested in this. So let's

cover the top five TikTok songs of the year. Coming in at number five was The Kid LAROI and The Beans. Right. This song is huge. The fifth biggest song on TikTok this year. Would you call this a TikTok song? I reckon this is a pop song that went on to TikTok

Instead of the other way around It's hard to tell these days But yeah This is all based off how many streams they've had On TikTok Not only on TikTok but off TikTok as well Oh, okay, right Coming in at number four

Sugar Crash That's by Ellie Otto Oh, okay, right. Coming in at number four, Sugar Crash. That's by Ellie Otto. This is one that I'm glad did not migrate over to the ZM playlist. A lot of TikTok songs on ZM now. But not this one. This one I'm happy to leave. Yeah, leave on TikTok. But huge on TikTok this year, coming in at number four.

Number three was a song called Adderall. Big TikTok dance that trended with this song. Did you do it? No, I don't do any of the dances. I try and stay away from those, have a little bit of self-respect left. That's from a group called Pop Hanna. Yeah. Number two for the biggest songs on TikTok for the year.

You'll all know this one from Mourner Skin. This is huge, this song. One of the biggest songs of the year, you might argue. They won Eurovision, eh? Yeah. Yeah. Italian group. Huge. Very creepy, eh? Yeah. Yeah. Italian group. Huge.

Very creepy follow-up single. Yeah. We played it for a bit. Yeah, we played it as well as we could. Yeah, we played it for a bit. I want to be your slave. Yeah. But that song was massive, and that's why it's number two

for the biggest TikTok songs of the year. But coming in at number one for the biggest TikTok song of the year, 2021, it's Astronaut in the Ocean. Yeah, right. This is huge. We played this. Yeah, yeah, we did. Masked Wolf.

Yep. How's the follow-up single going? I think the follow-up single's Little Red Riding Hood. Have you heard it? Is that what it is? No, I have no idea. 2022 is the year of Masked Wolf, baby. Here he comes.

There you go. Those are your TikTok hits, everybody. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from L.A. with Zee McCarthy. Everyone is talking about this Spider-Man movie, No Way Home, with Tom Holland and Zendaya, who are actually dating in real life. And someone who was at the first screening in the whole world

was you, Dean McCarthy. Yes, guys, I was able to go and see it before anyone. It was so dramatic. Like, they take your phone off you as you're going into the cinema and they steal the phone to make sure no one's filming or sneaking any footage. Like, super dramatic. Ah, so now we know how all those nudes leak. Well, I was going to say, they want to seal Dean's phone.

When I get to my phone, I was like, don't scroll, whatever you do, do not scroll. Do not. Yeah. Right. Okay, let's talk about the movie, because I tell you, this movie, you know, as you know, Tom Holland and Zendaya are dating in real life life and you can tell.

Like, they have the chemistry. You can't even buy that chemistry. You can't create that chemistry. It was like the Brad Pitt, Angelina chemistry for Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It was like that kind of vibe. They're so hot together. The movie, what I love about the movie most is it bangs straight into it. Like, there's no, you know, some movies build up or take a minute to kind of get into it.

This movie is hot from the get-go. There's action, there's drama, there's romance, there's laughs, and there's some massive, massive surprises in how the film takes a huge twist and turns. And there's people in the film you could not bet a million bucks you would have seen in the film. So well done. I absolutely loved it.

I think it comes out, I don't know, it's going to be available in New Zealand very, very soon, and you're going to love it. It actually lives up to the hype. It's not, um, it's not, um, the first of his Spider-Man movies, eh? Like, we don't have to start the story with Uncle Ben dying all over again and him getting bit by a radioactive

Spider-A. So when you say it's all go, we're straight into it, eh? Yeah, you could have never seen any of them. You could literally walk in and enjoy it from this movie from the start. As long as you know Spider-Man is good to eh? Yeah, you could have never seen any of them. You could literally walk in and enjoy it from this movie from the start. As long as you know Spider-Man is good to go.

Yeah, we've heard that I think he's signed on for three more movies and they're going to pay him like 20 million bucks. Whoa! Their chemistry together and her eyebrows.

Oh, she's got eyebrows to die for. I'm just looking at the stats on how much he's been paid for each Spider-Man movie. Spider-Man Homecoming was $1.5 million. Spider-Man Far From Home was $3 million.

And Spider-Man, this one, No Way Home, apparently, allegedly received $4 million. There you go. It's going to keep going up too. There you go, that's the latest. Live out of Los Angeles with Dee McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent, who really rates the new Spider-Man movie.

It's thanks to Swish. You can say it with Swish this Christmas. If you go to HeySwish.com, you can get 10% off with the code ZM10. We've got two more of these to do before Christmas. It's your chance to score a whole lot of Zed Sheertank fuel. With Sheertank, you can find the lowest local fuel price and choose when you want to use that fuel.

You can save it up or you can spend it. And with us, you can win up to 200 litres right now. Yeah, this is massive. We need the two people who are going to decide what they're going to do. Brooke's here. G'day, Brooke. Hi, Brooke. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. Also, Shauna is here. Kia'day, Brooke. Hi, Brooke. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks.

Also, Shauna is here. Kia ora, Shauna. Hi, Shauna. Hi. All right, who should we put in the cone of silence? I want to feel them out a little bit. Okay. Brooke, what sort of car have you got?

I've got a Suzuki Swift. Oh, very economical. Yeah, you do. And Shauna, what about you? I have a Mazda BT50. Nice, nice. Oh, that's a big, thirsty bugger? I have a Mazda BT50. Nice, nice. Oh, that's a big thirsty bugger. That's a diesel, right?

Yeah. Yeah, okay. All right, well, take from there what you want. I think we should put Shauna in the cone of silence first. Do you agree? Yep, that means we will talk to Brooke first. We'll see you in a minute, Shauna. Wait there for us.

Brooke, it's just us now, okay? Shauna is no longer with us. She can it's just us now, okay? Shauna is no longer with us. She can't hear us. Now think about this carefully. Shauna is a stranger to you, but obviously you've got your own idea, your own moral code. Do you want to share the fuel with Shauna, or do you want to

steal the whole lot? I think I want to share it. So you're happy with 100 litres for your Suzuki Swift? I'm more than happy with 100 litres for your Suzuki Swift? I'm more than happy with 100 litres. That'll keep your Suzuki Swift going till 2038. It'll get you to bluff and back easily. Okay, so we're locking in share?

Yes. Oh, I love that. And if she says steal, you're still happy with your decision? You don't get to change it, but you'll feel good about what you said? Oh, good on you, bro. Good on you. Okay, here we go. We'll get you to stay quiet for us and not say anything, please. And we'll bring

Shauna back now. Hi, Shauna. Hi, Shauna. Hi. You sound nervous, Shauna. Don't be nervous. I am. You've got to go with your gut. You can only think about your decision here. And what would you like to do? Would you like to share 200

litres of Zed share tank fuel or steal it all? I want to steal it all. That squeal you heard in the background there was Brooke because she wanted to share it with you. That means, Shauna, you're stealing the whole 200 litres. Oh, I'm so sorry, Brooke. You're right.

Oh, poor Brooke. Everyone's been really understanding. Everyone that's had it stolen from us has been very understanding. I'm looking for someone who goes, Shauna, I trusted you. Screw you, Shauna. Shauna, it's Christmas. Damn you, Shauna. How could you?

But that's the game. That's the name of the game. You play to the rules, so you deserve your fuel, Shauna. it's Christmas. Damn you, Shauna. But that's the game. That's the name of the game. You play to the rules. So you deserve your fuel, Shauna. Well done. Awesome. I need it. Sounds like it with that big gas guzzling.

And what you are willing to do for it, Shauna. Oh, my God. She's like, get out of my way, Brooke. I'm coming through. That's share tank, share or steal, sorry, with Zed, Zed Share Tank Fuel. You can lock in Zed's lowest fuel price within a 30K radius, save it for later, or you can share it now. You can also shout your friends and whanau some fuel this summer,

and we'll do one more round of Share or Steal tomorrow on Friday at 4 o'clock if you want some fuel. Surely a double share tomorrow going into the Christmas break. Brie and Clint. Tis the season to be stressed out about what to buy people for their Christmas presents. It's not easy. You get this assignment where it goes, sum me

up in one gift, but don't spend too much money because then it's awkward. You'll let me know what you think of our relationship by how much you spend on this gift. Exactly right, but don't go too big because it'll make my gift look too small and then it's unfair. But it doesn't have to be about the price. It's the thought. It's the thought.

That goes into the gift. So let us do the thought for you. If you have someone that's hard to buy for, Brie and I have a special service where we can, we've figured out, we can come up with great Christmas presents on the spot. Yeah, well, let's see how we go. There was some criticism yesterday that my gifts were too smoking focused. Look, I resent that. I don't even smoke, okay?

So I just think if- You knew a lot about smoking products yesterday. No, but if you have a smoker, they're easy to buy for. Right. Either buy them a lighter or some mints. Gotcha. That's how it works. So let's meet some desperate New Zealanders who need some gifts. We'll start with Adam. Hi, Adam. Hi, Adam. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. First off, who

can't you decide on what to get for them? My little sister. Ooh, okay. How old's her little sister, though? Yeah, we've got to ask a couple of questions. How old? Good question. I think she's 18. Oh, my God.

Adam. Good question. First off, you need to know how old your little sister is. Adam gets it. Jeez, okay. Okay, Adam, pick your elf. Would you like Elf Bree or Elf Clint to head into Santa's workshop to come back with a gift?

Elf Clint, please. No, what? You got an 18-year-old sister and you want me to do it? Yeah, why not? I mean, I got it. I got you, I got you. All right, I'm going to head off to Santa's workshop now. I'll be back with a gift in just a second.

Bikini set. Bikini set. Bikini set. Yeah, nice one. A tasteful one. A tasteful one. Do you know how hard it is to buy a bikini that fits for women? And Adam doesn't even know how old she is. Yeah, I think I'm back at square one.

Okay, I want to change it. I want to change it to another original idea. That was a bad idea. I want to change it to another original idea. Spotify subscription. That was my idea from yesterday. Yeah, it was a great one. Adam, it's a good idea. Spotify subscription.

That is a good idea. And I cost you an arm and a leg. There we go. Let's send Adam on his way before he gets upset. Cam's here. Hi, Cam. Hi, Cam. What's your order, Sam?

How are you going? Good, thank you. First off, who are you buying for? Also my little sister. Okay, how old? 21. Yes, he knows how old she is. That's a good start.

Decisive, Cam. Good stuff. Now, do you know the elf that you want? Yeah, I think we're going to have to go Bree after that performance, Clint. I do not blame you. Yeah, not ideal. One question, Cam. Is she into makeup and beauty products and stuff?

Yeah, see, nah, not really. Okay, not really. Okay, so she's like me then. Oh, no, I'm panicking now. Get her what you want. Here we go. Oh, it really depends on how much he wants to spend. Okay, another question, supplementary question.

How much do you want to spend, Cam? Oh, I thought it was under a couple hundred. Oh, a couple hundred. Okay, all right. A couple hundred? Okay. A couple hundred. Okay. Cam, you should get her these really, really nice comfy shorts from Ruby. They're amazing. They're not super, like, dressy, but she would love them because I love them

if she's not, like, super girly and into that stuff. Ruby. Ruby. Ruby. And they're called Corvette shorts. Go get them. She will adore you for it. There you go. And they're called Corvette Shorts. Go get them. She will adore you for it. There you go. Your sister is sorted. Merry Christmas

Cam. Let's move on to Kylie. Hi Kylie. Hi Kylie. Hi. How are you? Good. Who do you need a gift for? For my husband. Oh good. Okay. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. The hubby. What's he into? What's his hobby? What's his hobbies?

He loves being outdoors, like sport and that sort of thing. Oh, yeah. And which elf would you like? Brie. Okay. What? I think I've got it. What?

I'm right here. This is my specialty. I think I've got this. All right. She's off to the... I literally am like... That's fine. Send Brie into the workshop.

Kylie, I reckon you get him one of those really suave, nice 24-piece set barbecue tools. Oh, he'd love that. And they come in like a case and they're all super nice because you know how sometimes they're all mismatched and hodgy podge. You get him a set where he feels like he's a superhero and he's got like his set of tools. 24-piece set, barbecue set. Perfect.

Perfect. Love that. Thank you. Does he smoke? No. Lucky you didn't choose me then. He'll be smoking up a storm on the barbecue. Smoking a roast.

Where are all the smokers, eh? I mean, don't smoke. This segment needs to be cancelled. Bree and Clint. I want to talk about Christmas food for a second. There's been a question posed in New Zealand today that, well, it's not really a question, it's more of a statement.

Apparently, Christmas cake is past its use-by date as a food. Most of the time it is when people end up eating it. That's the beauty of a Christmas cake is it has no use-by date. No, it really does. It lasts forever. If it's a bit dry, just a bit more brandy on it or a bit more sherry or something. Drizzle it with a bit more alcohol.

I disagree. I'm a big Christmas cake fan, but apparently it's on the decline with young New Zealanders. And I just think that that's wrong. I think we're losing something here. I'm not a Christmas cake fan. Never have been.

Why not? It's got everything. It's sweet. It's chewy. It's got booze in it and it lasts forever. It's literally all of the old fruits that they've had to dry up and then they put it into a cake mix.

Well, the good ones, they've soaked the fruit for a bit beforehand and some booze again. It's just such an old-fashioned Christmas food. The thing I don't mind about being one of the few remaining Christmas cake connoisseurs is I never make one but there is always one at Christmas so I end up getting to eat the whole thing over the holiday. Here's my advice.

If you don't like Christmas cake, which there is a lot of people, you should do what we do in our family because I come from an Italian family and gonna pan la torna. Oh yeah, what's that? Oh, it's delicious. Is it a cake that lasts for ages full of booze? It's not full of booze, but it's like a cake type of thing,

and it's very Christmassy. It comes in this amazing box, and it's a great gift, actually. What's it called? Panettone. Panettone. I want to run a – so you're a no to Christmas cake? I'm a no. Got a couple more Christmas foods to run past the team.

Ben, are you a yes or no to Christmas cake? I'll have a piece, and that'll be it. Yeah, good. Yeah, so that's, he's not. Yeah, I'd probably say no. He's just giving up appearances for his mum. He's just doing it to be nice. Anastasia, Christmas cake, yes, no?

Because I'm an adult, yes. Yes. It's like wine or cheese, right? You've got to grow into it. That's the smartest thing you've ever said. You can't just eat something because you're like, oh, I've got to eat this now, I'm an adult. Oh, well, I mean, it's got icing on it.

Okay, controversial Christmas foods. I feel like this is becoming more controversial. Turkey. Turkey on Christmas? We never have turkey. I feel like that's super American. Dry chicken. But I don't mind. If people want to have turkey, go for it. Ben, meat man, turkey on Christmas? Yeah, definitely. Yeah, Anastasia,

turkey on Christmas? I'm on the fence. I'll have it if it's there, but I wouldn't be cooking for my family. You don't need it? I'll go for the lasagna before I go for the turkey. Takes friggin' ages to cook a turkey, so I'm told. I don't know why people are triggered by these. I think they're fantastic, but some people don't like them.

Brandy snaps. I don't know if I've had one of those. Brandy snaps is in that like, tubey, sticky tube that's filled with fresh cream inside it. No, I don't think I've had one of those. That's a Brandy Snap, eh? Delicious.

I didn't know people didn't like them. Me neither, but there are people who don't like them. Wait, what? Yeah, I know. I don't think I've had one. We're going to get you a Brandy Snap. We'll take you to the Valentine's buffet. I never had a mince pie until I moved to New Zealand.

That's my last one, Christmas mince pie. I mean, I had one for the first time when I moved here. They're okay. A fruit mince pie? Dusted with icing sugar? They're all right. With the pastry? You can't call that a pie.

Well, no, it is a pie. It's a Christmas mince pie. Are you known to Christmas mince pies? No, we're not having that. Again, it's old fruit minced up into... Yeah, and lovely pastry. And lovely pastry. Again, it's an adult acquired taste.

Who would have thought I'd see eye to eye with Anastasia? This is a Christmas miracle. I don't like Christmas, but I like food, so... How do you not like Christmas? Yeah, but I like Christmas food. Don't like Christmas, but you like Christmas cake. Yeah. There you go.

All right, everybody, text us in. Yay or nay, Christmas cake. Is it cancelled or is it classic? I just think there is so many things that are way better than Christmas cake. Oh, don't start that argument. But do you know what I mean? Of course there is. So why?

Of course there is. Are you keeping it going? Because we have to, all right? Because it's tradition. Are you keeping it going? Because we have to, all right? Because it's tradition. Are you keeping it going because it's a tradition or because it's good? I'm eating it because it's there. That is what you have to ask yourself this Christmas. Brie and Clint.

Brie and Clint. Look, let's just be honest with each other. For the rest of the year, if you are working, a lot of people finishing up next week, maybe mid-ne next week, you're not going to be doing any work. No, everyone has chucked it in neutral and is just coasting towards the finish line shortly. Especially if you're working from home and you're on Zoom meetings and, you know, pretending and doing all that stuff. You've had a rough year. Just take it easy.

Yeah, a lot of people take it easy. Yeah, a lot of people take it easy. And I feel like I've got the perfect thing for people who just want to keep it really kind of casual in terms of working for the last week. Yeah. Because I found this website. It's the brainchild of a computer programmer called Brian Moore who has created this website which allows you to appear super busy when you're at home and you're on Zoom calls. Right, okay. So essentially there's a bunch of things on this website which will make sounds that sound like you're getting emails

and all different types of things. Yeah. It's hard to explain. Do you want me to show you? Yeah, show me. Should you and I act like we're having a Zoom call? Okay, right. Okay, act like we're having a Zoom call

and I'm just going to play the role of person who is really bored on the Zoom meeting and wants to get out. Okay, cool. And I'll just join the Zoom now. Okay. Oh, hey, Bree. Oh, g'day. Hey.

Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you. Wait, can you hear me? Hold on. I haven't got my Hey. Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you. Wait, can you hear me? Hold on. I haven't got my microphone. Can you hear me? Can you? Wait.

Can you hear me now? Oh, sorry. I didn't hear my speakers turned on. Yeah, great. I can hear you now. How come you're not dressed? It's quarter to five. Oh, I am dressed.

That's really offensive of you. This is my work attire. Oh, okay. Oh, sorry. I didn't mean it. Yeah. What's this call about? What makeups I'm pouring? Nothing. What's this call about? What makeup

is I'm pouring? Nothing. What are Zoom calls ever about? I mean, it's a work in progress. Okay, right. Okay, cool. Love being on the whip. Just hold on one sec. I'm just going to check what email I've got. Oh, I'm getting absolutely... Hold on one sec.

Hold on one sec, Clint. Hold on. Whoa, your inbox is getting slammed Wait Sorry about that Sorry It sounded like you were receiving a Skype call Sorry I've got to take this text Hold on

Sorry mate My email Your notifications are going off. My email is blowing up. I've got a bit of a situation. I'm just going to, if I don't get any more, oh, no, there's another one. I've got to go. What's the situation?

Maybe I can help. Oh, it says do not invite Clint. We don't want to stress him out anymore. There's another email. I've really got to take this, mate. I'm so sorry. All right, well, you better go. Okay, cool. All right, take this, mate. I'm so sorry. Alright, well, you better go. Okay, cool.

Alright, see you, mate. Bye. Whoa, that was impressive. Yeah. And that website, if you would like to use it, is called busysimulator.com I think he bought it. I think my boss, Clint, had no idea. Am I the boss?

For this purpose, yeah. You said it, mate. Ben, lift the club. Brie and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic. Not really. But picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do.

Brie and Clint's What's the Plot? One more What's the Plot for 2021, our movie guessing game, where currently the prize pool is at $500 cash. It's a great amount going into Christmas. The person here with their eyes on that money is Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hi, guys.

Hi. How are you? I'm doing good. I'm so excited. Okay, awesome. So you've heard this game before? Yes, I have. Perfect.

All you need to do is secure two points before Bree does, get two movies correct, and you'll win the cash, okay? Okay, Okay. Good luck. Your buzzer is your name. Don't wait for me to finish these plot lines before you buzz in and have a go. Today's theme is the best

movies ever according to Rotten Tomatoes. Okay. Highest rated movies. Our first film has a score of 98% on the tomato meter an audience score of

89% and the plot goes like this when a devastating natural disaster rips through her city our hero is faced with a future she does not recognise at all with a future she does not recognise at all. With a long road to travel, she said...

Bree! Wizard of Oz. Wizard of Oz. It was a cyclone or something and then tore a house apart. I was crafty too. I rewrote that whole plot. Tried to disguise it. One of my favourite movies of all time. I've got the dog. You've. Tried to disguise it. One of my favourite movies of all time. I've got the dog. You've got the dog to prove it.

Sarah. Sarah, where were you in that one? In Oz. You were in Oz. That's okay. That's okay. You can still get the win here. Movie number two.

With a score of 97% on the tomato meter and an audience score of 94%. The plot line goes like this. The gang embark on a road trip with Bonnie and a new friend named Forky. Brie. Brie. Sorry. Sorry.

Three or four I am going to need the number Forky no three was that and then four was the recent one with Forky

Toy Story 4 Toy Story 4 yeah you want to lock in Toy Story 4 lock it in I'm 90% sure but it could be wrong

were you just saying that because Forky four Forky no the only reason I'm saying it because Forky, four, Forky? No, the only reason I'm saying it is Forky was a new character that they bought in, and I'm pretty sure it was because they did one, two, three all quite together, and then four was recently with Forky. It's got to be four.

Sarah, if she doesn't get this right, are you poised to take the point? Do you know the answer? Yeah. You do. What do you think it is, Sarah? Yeah. She doesn't want to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't want to. I was going to say Toy Story 3, but. Okay. Oh, no. That has made me second guess it now. I can confirm. The answer is Toy Story 4. Sorry, Sarah.

Sorry, mate. We got 50 KFC chicken dollars, though, for you. Yay, thank you. No worries. The awkward bit is we're not allowed to carry this money over till next year, so we literally have to set it on fire now. No, we don't. That's the rules.

It's in the contract. That is not the rules. I didn't want to. You should have let Sarah win if you wanted the cash. You didn't tell me that. Sarah, Breeze, mate, we've got to burn this. No. Just kidding.

We'll start 2022 on $550. Let's talk Christmas bonuses Because is this a thing? Is that what people are doing in New Zealand? I know it's a big thing in America Because a big storyline Throughout the Griswolds family Christmas Which is one of the most

Iconic Christmas movies ever Is that he is waiting for his Big Christmas bonus So he can put in a pool for the family. Is it a big thing or is it one of those things that American movies have made us believe is a big thing? No, I think it's a thing. Yeah, okay.

I think it exists. But I don't know if it exists here. I know the Christmas bonus ham exists. Yes. I was talking to a friend of mine last night and they were like, oh, we just got our Christmas bonus with the big ham. And I said, fantastic.

How big is the ham? How big was the ham? Like a 1.2 kilo ham. Yeah, big old ham. Yeah. Ham's bloody expensive too. I've been given a ham for Christmas before from my workplace and it was well received.

The issue was the many boxes of ham that had to be stored in the days leading up. Where do you put all those boxes of ham? Where do you put 40 legs of ham, you know? It's hard to hide. Yeah. Very hard to hide. But have you ever received any other type of Christmas bonus?

A bottle of wine, the usual. But no cheque. No, not a cheque. Not a cheque for money or any type of thing like that. What about the producers? Have you guys ever received a Christmas bonus? No. Are we meant to give that to you guys?

Yeah, you guys are. So I'm waiting. We've got a day. Yeah. We've got a day, yeah. Yeah. Clint, we need to talk after this. How much does ham cost?

I don't know. Keen on a ham. Where do you get a ham from? God, Ben would love that, wouldn't he? That'd be a great gift. I mean, Anastasia's family run a butchery. Yeah, I actually could have hooked up everyone with some hams. Sorry.

Well, now you tell us. I can do it next year. Now you bloody tell us. What good is next year, Anastasia? I'm hungry now. I want a ham glazed and in my kitchen. Christmas Day at my house, there's nothing to eat, and I go, don't worry, Anastasia's getting us a ham next year.

I say there's people out there getting Christmas bonuses, and I want to hear from them. You reckon? Because the more we talk about it on the air, the more we talk about this, the more likely it is that people start doing this. The bosses hear it, they say, did you hear such and such? They're giving out this as a Christmas bonus.

We need to get emergency bonuses. We do. Yeah. So you want to hear about cash bonuses? Any type of bonus. Any type of bonus. I'll take a Christmas ham. Ham bonus.

Maybe it's a holiday. I don't know. Anything where it's deemed as a Christmas bonus, I want to hear from you. 0800-DIALS-ZM or you can text us on 9696. All right, here we go. We're talking Christmas bonuses. dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. Bree and Clint. All right, here we go. We're talking Christmas bonuses.

Hopefully this, you know, starts a conversation in your workplace. Maybe your boss will hear this and they will think to themselves, maybe I should be given out a Christmas bonus because there is so many texts coming through with so many generous bosses. Way more than I expected. So many. So let's get into it. Let's go to Zarius first. G'day. How's it going? Good, thank you.

Merry Christmas, Zarius. All good, yeah. Merry Christmas to you too. What do you do for a job first, Zarius? So I'm a concreter for a company called Goulet Homes in Rotorua. Shout out Rotorua. That's my home. And what do you get for a bonus? So we've got $1,000 cash.

We've got a ham, a bottle of wine, and some new clothes. Is there any jobs going at your workplace, Zarius? Actually, everyone just resigned before Christmas. Why? Unlucky to them. They must be too hard work for the mate. Yeah, right. They should eat some concrete, shouldn't they?

Yeah, I reckon. Harden them up. Jeez, Zarius, that's almost tending to move home to Lututurua. That's incredible. They obviously don't want to lose any more staff, so they're like we love you guys, please stay. Zarius, have you been working there for a couple of years? Yeah, coming up about

three years now. Okay, nice. And they do it every year? Yeah, every year. You get something. That sounds like a great workplace. Well, Merry Christmas Zarius. Thanks for sharing with us. Yeah, thanks for you. You too. Have a good day. See you, Zarius. Let's talk to Cathy. Love Zarius. Hi, Cathy. Hi, Cathy.

Hi, how's it going? Good, thank you. Cathy, what do you do for a job? I work at Farmlands now, but I used to train racehorses. Oh, okay. That's a fun job. And so is this a bonus from when you used to train racehorses? Yeah.

So I've been working in this stable for about two and a half years, and I had one horse in particular that my boss actually owned that I loved to pieces, and he just happened to retire around Christmas time, and my boss gave him to me as a Christmas bonus. Are you serious? He gave you a horse? Yeah, he gave me his racehorse here.

How much would that horse be worth, do you think, Cathy? He'd won a few races, but he'd had some heart problems, so he'd had to retire, but he was probably worth about, I don't know, as a racehorse, maybe 10 grand. I don't know. Don't they milk them for their horse juice, you know, to make more baby horses out of? Shouldn't they?

Yeah, this one doesn't have any horse juice, unfortunately. Oh, yeah. His manhood chopped it in early age. Is that a gelding? Is that what that is? Yeah, that's right. That's such a lovely gift, Cathy, that he obviously saw that you and the horse had a special bond

and he's like, I'm going to give it to you for Christmas. What a bonus. Did you have somewhere to put it? If someone gave me a horse, I'd have nowhere to put it. No, I had somewhere for him to go and I've had him for about three and a half years now. You've still got him? Yeah, yep.

Aw, cute, Cathy. Well, Merry Christmas, Cathy. That's a great one. Thank you. That's a great one. A lot of people texting through through saying that they get gift cards as bonuses. Other people saying a lot of hams being dished out. A lot of hams.

Someone said at the Meatworks we got a free leg of lamb for Christmas, which is great. They had to cut it up and pack it themselves. Someone said I work two jobs. My casual one, I got $125 worth of vouchers. My full-time job, I got a $25 Prezi card. Let's get someone on

who wants to be anonymous finally. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hey, how's it going? Good, thanks. Tell us, what do you do for work? So I work in frontline banking

for one of New Zealand's banks, yeah. So they have a bank and what did you get for a Christmas bonus? So this year I got a $16,000 cash bonus and a $4,000 increase in my salary.

What? So what? $16,000. Well, most of it got taxed, which was sad, but... Well, not most of it. What are we saying? Not most of it. Less than half of it got taxed.

I think it was about 6K, so it was only about 10 that came through. Oh, happy for being anonymous. Now I'd be roper-be with that. Are you high up in the banking company or does everyone who works at your bank get $16,000? They probably get more, to be honest. I was probably at the lowest, so that was... Are you serious?

Are you serious? This is good. I've got a New Year's resolution early. I'm going to become a banker who pours concrete in Rotorua. That's what my 2022 looks like. Anonymous, if you're taking my interest, I'll tell you, I know where you live. Just kidding.

You enjoy that bonus. We're just jealous. Merry Christmas. Thank you. Same to you. Bye. And I mean, I mean, Merry Christmas. And the four grand pay rise Right here we go

Second last birthday banger of the year This is where we take your birthdays And we figure out what was the song Topping the charts on your 16th We'll kick it off today with Harley. G'day, Harley. Hi, Harley. How are you?

How are you? I'm not too bad, self. That's good. Harley, what's your birthday? 14th of May, 84. All right, mate, you were 16 in the year 2000. And on the 14th of May, your 16th birthday, this had a number one hit.

Don't call me baby And on the 14th of May, your 16th birthday, this had a number one hit. Yes, Harley. I was obsessed with Madison Avenue. Did you love it, Harley? Of course. Bagger. It's 21 years old, this song. I loved this duo.

It was her and a guy. Yeah. And they had at least two massive hits. It was this one and what was the other hit? They definitely had one more hit. I'll find out. We'll go to Marcy first and I'll find out. G'day, Marcy. Hi, Marcy.

Oh, hi. How are you? Good, mate. How are you? Yeah, very well, thanks. That's good to hear. Marcy, what's your birthday? 10th of March, 1972.

All right, Marcy. You were 16 in 1988. And on the 10th of March in 1988, this was number one. Oh, no, Marcy. You've been Rickrolled. I was like, I bet it's someone stupid like Rick Astley. Well, you should buy a lotto ticket because you are on the money, Madison. Rick Astley's a vibe, though.

Come on. Got that body roll. I found, I was going through a bunch of old records that are at my house, and I've got this album on vinyl at home. You should wrap it up and give it to someone for Christmas and then be like, you got Rickroll baby! Live Rickrolling, yeah. Do you like it, Marcy?

I prefer probably the Harley. Me too. Madison Avenue. Yeah, me too. I was so obsessed with Madison Avenue that she wore this silver jumpsuit that literally showed everything and I asked to wear it for a dance recital that I was in.

Yeah. It wasn't good. I found the other song. Yeah. This is it. How the hell are you to treat me like that? I don't get how well you're being what you're gonna wear your ass. Banger.

Banger. Bang 90s vibes. Okay, we've got Amanda here as well. Hi, Amanda. Hi, Amanda. Hi. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks.

We've got to do one more for you. Now, I heard you have one of the worst timed birthdays ever. Yep. I basically ruined it for myself, came early. I could have had a party every year on New Year's Eve, but nope. I had to be the first baby that year born just so, you know, bit of claim to fame. So mine's Christmas Day, 1970. Oh, little baby Jesus on the phone.

You poor thing. Okay, well let's make it about you today. You were 16 in 1986 and on Christmas Day in 1986, Amanda's birthday banger, it was this. So darling, darling, stand by. I love that song. Ben E. King. What a tune. This is a beautiful song, Amanda.

I love that song. That movie is one of the best movies. Yeah, you're right. This is a great one, Amanda. About time that song. That movie is one of the best movies. Yeah, you're right. This is a great one, Amanda. About time you got something good. Oh, God, yeah. Tell me about it. Most people forget my birthday. They're like, hey, Merry Christmas, and then halfway

through it's like, oh, it's your birthday. You poor thing. How often do you get a joint present? Every year? Oh, heaps of times, but then I started to get smart and do the same back to people, even if their birthday was midway through the year. I go, oh, this is like a combined Christmas and birthday. That is some classic, iconic passag, and I love it.

I'm going to go ahead and eliminate Rick Astley from my vote. For me, it's between Madison Avenue and Stand By Me. It's Madison Avenue for me. Are you sure, though? I know that's the obvious choice. I am positive. But listen to how this song starts. Madison Avenue, that song, you can vote however you want,

but that was one of my favourite songs from, like, the 2000s. I loved it. I just wanted to give it a go anyway. Hey, Harley. Yo. You just won to give it a go anyway. Hey, Harley. Yo. You just won birthday banger, mate. Congratulations. Yeah, yeah.

I would have gone off Amanda's way, but cool, cool. You would have gone with Stand By Me as well. Damn it, I knew I was on a vibe there. It's playing now. Yeah. Hey, well done, man. Merry Christmas. See you, Harley.

Yeah, you guys too. Merry Christmas. See you. Here you go. Winner of birthday bangers, you guys too. Merry Christmas. See you. Here you go. Winner of Birthday Bank is Madison Avenue and Don't Call Me Baby on ZM. Bree and Clint. Here's something for all the people out there

who might not have bought a lot of gifts yet. Maybe they're struggling. Maybe they need some ideas because I've got a list here about what are the biggest tech presents that people are purchasing this year for Christmas. Oh, baller. Aren't all the tech ones pretty expensive? Some of these are.

Some of them aren't. But maybe you need to buy for a partner or maybe it needs to be a big gift. So maybe this will be an idea. Maybe you're doing a joint present where you're buying for you and your partner and it's something you really want, a piece of technology. Yeah.

You're like, you know what my missus would like? A really big TV. That's what she would love. I've got two categories here. This is based on, it's called Price Spy, who have done a study on this to see what people are buying. Do you want the top trending shopping categories this festive season? Let's do that first.

Okay. So the top trending shopping categories coming in at number five, up by 58% this year. Well done. It's perfume. Oh, okay. Perfume is a solid gift. That's not ticky at all.

No, this is shopping categories. Oh, okay. And then I'll give you the tech stuff. Oh, okay. Right, right, right. Which perfume? Solid Gift. These are just-

Very personal perfume. It is, but I mean, also easy to know what someone wears. Also, just buy them a Victor Rolf flower bomb and you'll be sweet. People love that stuff. Question number four. Board games up 53% this year in popularity for purchases. Lockdown. Love board games.

Love a good board game. May I recommend Monopoly Deal? It's a card game, but, you know, same thing. And may I reaffirm that I will never play Monopoly with you? Well, yeah, because you would lose. Question number, coming in at number three, electric scooters up by 122%. Wow. That'd be a great gift, electric scooter.

You want to get a good one, though. Yeah, I'd be stoked with that. Number two, robot vacuum cleaners up by 126%. Those things are great. And at number one, fryers, all different types, including air fryers. Better be air fryers. Also, yeah, deep fryers, all that kind of jazz. They're the top trending shopping categories.

Let's get to the tech stuff. This is what people are buying in the tech world for Christmas presents. Number five, Apple AirPods. Thought so. Good gift. Super popular. Number four, a Samsung Galaxy S21. Whoa, that's a pricey.

That's the phone I have. It's a great phone, but you're balling out with that Christmas present. You'd be definitely winning some people over with that gift. Number three, Sony earbuds. Oh, yeah, just the Sony version of earpods. Earpods, same thing. Number two, this is a pricey gift as well, Sony PlayStation 5. Damn.

I know. Oh, that's Christmas though. Yeah. Families will buy that for the kids for Christmas. Like as a joint present. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's not a bad idea. We got a PlayStation for Christmas once.

Best Christmas ever. So did we. God, it was good. The most popular gadget for a Christmas present this year, number one, Apple AirPods Pro, the new ones. Right, okay. Which are a little bit more expensive than the generation one or two. Yeah.

Yeah, that's what they're called. Oh, that's number one. That's number one. Yeah, right. Okay, cool. Yeah, the most popular gadget gift. So there you go. Christmas, very expensive this year.

Very expensive. Bree and Clint. Please be upstanding for the New Zealand National Anthem Because Congratulations New Zealand You've made it onto the world stage once again Oh lovely That's great news Not for our Olympic glory

Not for our amazing women's sevens team Not for What else do we do? The Prime Minister Lord Not for our Olympic glory, not for our amazing women's sevens team, not for, what else do we do? The Prime Minister. Lords, not for Lords. No, it is for the Prime Minister, actually. Oh, it is for the Prime Minister. It's for a quote that the Prime Minister gave Hillary and Jeremy on Seven Sharp a few weeks ago, actually,

when Auckland moved into the traffic light system. Okay. And I knew at the time when she said this, I knew it was going to lead to something. It was Jacinda, sorry, excuse me, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern commenting on Tinder liaisons in the traffic light system.

I knew this moment would come, but I can confirm that Tinder liaisons have reopened. Great news for my friend. It's not strictly embedded in the traffic light system, but it is a given. Up to 25, actually, in a red area. 25 people in a Tinder liaison. 25 Tinder dates.

So that has been interpreted by the world's media as New Zealand government encourages 25-person orgy. Right, right. That's the way it's been received. That's an interesting interpretation. Stephen Colbert has reported on it on his late night TV show. Of course he has, you know,

because this guy loves a bit of Kiwi content. Yeah, he does. Loves to just rip shreds off the Kiwis. He's obsessed with us. He's obsessed. Here's what he had to say. New Zealand Prime Minister and dear friend of the show, Jacinda Ardern,

announced recently that under the country's covid guidelines orgies of 25 people are good to go in new zealand kiwi i just want to take this opportunity now to ask you brie who's been in the traffic light system for a couple of weeks now yes have you had a-person orgy yet? Look, I don't want to directly comment because I feel like, you know, that is personal, but I will say I've taken full advantage of the traffic light system and I understand all of the rules completely.

Bree's got one of those QR codes on her bedroom door. You do have to scan when you come in and you have to scan when you leave as well, just to be safe. There's some advice from Stephen Colbert as well. I'm guessing if you have 25 people at your sex party, there's going to be more than a few red areas. There are still restrictions in place,

but reportedly orgy groups everywhere in New Zealand are already rejoicing. Orgy groups, excuse me. I mean, that's got a hotspot written all over it, doesn't it? We call them social netball teams. Thank you very much. And we will not change the term for anyone.
