This is what Christmas is for me, guys, and anyone who lives away from friends and family will get this. Like, Christmas for me is like I talked to my mum this morning. Yeah. And my mum goes, all right, I'll see you on the weekend. And for me, that's nice. That's when I know it's Christmas. Yeah, yeah.

And my mum and I are going to head to the shops on Sunday. We're going to do some last minute Christmas shopping. Then we're going to go home. and cook for probably three days in the lead-up. Cook and drink for three days in the lead-up for Christmas. That sounds lovely. What a good time, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I did a little bit more thinking about the Christmas presents that I'm going to buy today. Oh, yes. And that was about as far as I got. Hey, well, at least you're thinking. I figure we finish on Friday. And then everyone's going to do their Christmas shopping next week, aren't they?

So I'll just do it when everyone else is doing it. Yeah, that's a horrible idea. Yeah. But, but if you haven't had time to do it before then, then it is what it is. It is what it is. And you just get it all done in one place. Just pick one more. It is hard to find the time in the lead-up. But you are a last-minute gift buyer. I remember last Christmas you did the same.

Yeah. Everything kind of last minute, huh? Yeah, I like the pressure. I used to leave all my assignments to the last minute as well. I feel like I don't before well until. What? ADHD, me. What you just described is a classic.

It was one of my biggest signs from the psychologist that I had ADHD. I told you, let me try some of that medicine to see if I've got it. The only time I can get things done is when it's under pressure and I have no other choice. Yeah. Ah, well, maybe I could get a diagnosis for Christmas. Fun show on the way. We'll go searching for a name. in a haystack later on, but first Trady versus Lady, where the ladies are looking to narrow it up.

They can't win for the year, but they won yesterday and they can finish two behind the Trades on 104 if they win the rest of the year. It doesn't really matter. We're just having a bit of fun at this stage, and there is still 50 bucks cash from KFC every day. It does matter because pride is on the line. Oh, yeah? Pride matters, mate. Yeah.

ZDM's Bree and Clint Podcast. Are you having a big Christmas this year? Fairly. My parents, my wife's parents, our family, of course.

Yeah, but yeah, a few people give or take, you reckon. I reckon there'll be about 15 people at our house. About 15, that's a decent Christmas. Yeah. Decent Christmas. It's more that can what fit around our dinner table. Yeah, yeah. Where are you going to sit every day?

everyone. We'll do a kids table. Of course. Yeah. I still get sat at the kids table sometimes. It's because of your youthful skin. Thank you so much. I was talking to a friend of mine. I was going to say reading age. On the weekend. And she was telling me that she's hosting Christmas at her house this year. Yeah. And I was like, oh, that's exciting because that's not normally the case. Normally it would be at her mom and dad's house. But she has decided to take on that responsibility this year. Give her parents a rest. Nice. And I was like, oh, so you're doing the cooking and like, what do you need to get organised? She's like, I'm cooking for 42 people.

42. Hey, 42? She's having 42 people. No, you get KFC. If you're having 42 people, you get KFC. That's a lot of buckets of fried chicken. A lot easier than cooking for 42. Exactly right.

People only have one oven. I said, what do you mean? These are Italian friends of mine. Oh, yeah. So I was like... Oh, they'll bring a plate then, won't they? Normally, yes, everyone in the family will bring a plate. But still, I'm like...

So everyone bring a plate? You live in suburbia. You live in a... If your plate requires any time in the oven, you need to put it into the spreadsheet here and mark out how much time you need. Yeah, like, strategy-wise, cooking all of that food in a normal person kitchen.

Plus, you don't want all those people in your kitchen either. No, too many cooks. You just want the head honchos. You know? There's going to be a lot of cold salads. Yeah. Four or five broccoli salads, maybe a one-box salad. The meat can be cold too.

The ham will be cold. The ham can be cold. That can be pre-done at someone else's kitchen. The turkey can be cold if you're doing turkey. But 42 people, not every... Where are they going to sit? Where are people going to sit? They live in a suburban house.

It's like a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house. Yeah, yeah. That's Christmas, isn't it? That's Christmas. That sounds awful. You just make it work. I said to her, I was like, did you know that there was going to be that many? She's like, you know how these things go.

It wasn't meant to be that many. I think it was meant to be around 25, which is still a lot. That's a big jump, though. It's still a lot. But, like, that's like double. It's like everybody decided to bring a partner that they didn't tell you about. Yeah. Wild.

Fun though. It would be a lot of fun. A lot of kids, which makes it fun. You'll miss it when you're old and no one invites you to Christmas anymore. Are these all the things you tell yourself to try and make it? Yeah. Better? Yeah, yeah.

Oh, it'll be everyone who will help clean up. No, I'm keen for a busy day. I'm keen for a full-on day. You would hate it. No, no, I am. No, no, I'm keen for a crazy day. I am. Okay.

And then I'd like everybody to leave the next day. Okay, I'll bring my entire Italian family over to your house. Yeah. And we'll see how much you like it. Cool. I'll send my family to your house. We'll do a trade. Yeah, yeah.

I thought we could ask, because I found it quite interesting, because that's one of the biggest Christmases I've heard of. I'm sure there's bigger. I'm sure they're smaller. I want to know from people this afternoon how big is the Christmas you're having this year or how small is the Christmas you having this year? We're having a pretty small one at my family house. Can you beat 42 people? Yeah, how big is it? Or as your Christmas just you and the dog? Because this is what got me thinking because my partner's, my brother-in-law, I saw him on the weekend and I was like, what are you doing for Christmas because he's from Perth but he lives in Sydney and he said oh well my parents are in

Perth and his partner is coming over here to New Zealand he's like I'm having Christmas on my own and I couldn't be happier about it he's like I'm calling it rotmus rotmus I'm gonna play PlayStation eat the food I want and just rot yeah and to be honest it'd be fun for one Christmas wouldn't be bad eh doesn't sound like a bad time sounds quite nice actually Okay, let's find the biggest and smallest Christmases we can find this afternoon. Dead end, Franklin. How big is your family Christmas or how small is your Christmas this year? Yeah.

Are you having everybody at your house or nobody at your house this Christmas? And how do you feel about it? Yeah. Just because you're spending Christmas alone doesn't mean that you're upset about. You might love it. Like your friend who said they're doing Rottmas. Yeah, Mary Rottmas, he's calling it. Or this text, it's just me and my two dogs for Christmas.

It has been for a few years And I wouldn't have it any other way Love that You know? Dog Christmas is a good Christmas Let's go to Kerry first I know 800 does it in Merry Christmas Kerry

Merry Christmas Kerry Merry Christmas, guys Are you having a big one Or a small one this year Kerry? It's quite a big one this year It's like our family Little tiny backstory My Nana was one of eight children

Only one of her siblings left now And we thought it would be great for everybody to get together in our wider family. Yes. Oh, here we go. So I think each of my Nana's siblings had three or four children. They've all had children.

Yep. I'm part of kind of the third generation. Yeah. I've also got children. Okay. I think a rough tally I did the other day, there'll be about 85 of us. 85? At your house?

Well, no, no, not at my house. So we're a Māori family. We're going to our Farno Madai. Oh, my God. So I was going to say, if this is a... Sharing the load. That's wonderful. Yeah, I was like you're going to have to rent out a football field to hold all these people.

You would have to put on a traffic management plan in your street. Yes, honestly, they really would have to be. Traffic management would be needed in my street. Carrie, that sounds bloody fun, though, because how many kids do you reckon they'll be there? Oh, I think probably at least half of that will be kids. Oh, that's great. I mean, like, under 10. Yeah, see, that's the magic of Christmas.

What's your job on the day? Kerry, what are you going to be in charge of? Oh, look, I'm just going to help wherever I'm needed. We've all kind of put out a bit of a list We have a big Fano group on Facebook And there's a bit of a list of jobs that need to be done And food that needs to be organised And so we've all kind of put our names to things

And God, how many, how many Christmas hams Would you need to make Kerry to feed 85? Oh, wow I was going to say words that were not allowed on the air A lot There would need to be a lot I think, I reckon you'd need probably two old pigs

Yeah, okay, 85 is the record so far We'll go to Haley. Hi, Haley. Hi, Haley. Hi. Big or small, your Christmas? Very small. It's just me and my partner in Raritonga. Lovely.

So are you guys flying out? What day? Christmas Day. Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve, even better. So you'll wake up together in Raritonga on Christmas Day. That's the one. And we get to do Christmas Eve twice because they're a day behind.

Oh, yeah. And what will you just go to the restaurant? I guess for dinner. You won't have to cook anything. I don't know if it's even nasty. They'll be eating. There'll be a lot of drinking. I see what's happening

there, Haley. Are you guys doing Secret Santa? Oh, probably not. Just the two of you? Kind of takes the fun out of Secret Santa. Little Pat. Yeah. It's the first time ever we're flying in first class, so I'm really going to enjoy it.

Oh, Hayley. Merry bloody Christmas. Okay, that's good, too. We asked you, big or small Christmas, someone texted and said, we're Dutch, the youngest of 21 grandkids, plus aunties and uncles and my cousin's kids adding up to 60 or 70 people each year. It's a big day.

I always forget my own family member's names. Jeez. That's a lot of people, eh? Yeah. Christmas Day is just my three boys and I haven't had my three boys under one roof in seven years, so I'm bloody excited. That's fun. That'll be good. Single.

Christmas on my own for the past five years, I always volunteer myself working on Christmas and New Year's Day. That's nice. Good on you. That's lovely. Someone else said in 2023, I had 54 people at my house for Christmas. Christmas. That's a lot. That's a big Christmas. Where's the one about the big dinner table? Here it is. I'm the eighth of ten children plus mum and dad, so Christmas is always big. Our dining table was 18 feet long. It used to be a

reading table at the Auckland Law Library. Then everyone partnered up. So then that's 22. And then the grandkids started to arrive. But then dad died and then mum and everyone moved away overseas. So last time we all got together was in 1997. Oh man, they got sad towards the end, didn't it? I wonder if they could like bring it back. And then we had to cut the table and half because it weren't enough people. Yeah.

Oh. Thanks, Quinn. Someone else said one Christmas, I was on home detention. So my entire extended family came around to my dad's where I was living for Christmas. I tried to count and I think there was about 60 people.

I was 17 or 18 at the time. Or because you were on home detention. And everyone's like, oh, we guess we have to go to such and such as house. You would have to be on your best behavior. Because they could have been anywhere that Christmas. Yeah. But they had to be within a 60 metre radius of the modem that was plugged in in your kitchen. God, that would have been a great year to play tag with that person.

You're it. And then everyone just runs across the barrier. Just step off the boundary. Yeah. All right. Thanks, everybody. Z names Brian Clint. This is the tea.

One of the biggest albums to come out this year was the Lily Allen album. She hadn't released one for eight years. And it was an album that took down her ex-husband, David Harbour, and his mistress. Such an interesting album, the West End Girl album, because it was a real story. Like from start to finish, it took you through their marriage and it opening up and her finding out him cheating. Might be the best breakup album ever written. The mistress, one of the, what, you disagree? The look on your face then was like, absolutely not.

I think you're going to say of the year, but ever written? It's pretty good. Okay. It was good. What would it be for you? Probably the Fleetwood Mac Rumors album. Yeah, that's good. Or that A-Mond song where he's like,

F you, you ho, I don't want you back. That wasn't an album. That was one song. It was an album to me. Okay. Anyway, the song Madeline, if you've heard it, is actually written about a woman named Natalie Tippett, and she has gone in on Lily Allen on Instagram.

She's just started a big rant. Really? Yep. Do you want to hear what she wrote? Yes. She said, I did not have a three-year affair with anyone. I'm unsure why this person wants so badly to pit people against me or create this narrative that we both know is false

based on the actual messages that I have saved between us. The same ones that have now been referenced in a song without my consent. I don't weaponise women against women for the behaviour of men, especially not in an open relationship. I'm wishing her all the success, money, healing and happiness and whatever else she's seeking through this. She also added that she's a human being and not a character someone created. Oh, shut up.

You didn't have to out yourself as the woman Because she gave you a fake name She called you Madeleine Oh people figured it out already Oh okay Yeah people had figured it out Well just shush If you just shush it will just go away

Is that the right attitude Or is that the wrong thing to say Eventually I don't know I just feel like we're on Lily Ellen's side here But I guess I guess this woman doesn't have the same platform That Lily Ellen has

To tell her side of the story I get what she's saying Like it was David Harbour's behaviour and he technically is the one that's in the wrong because he was married and committed to Lily Allen. And obviously he broke the rules of their situation, whatever that was in their marriage. Yeah.

But I also don't believe that she didn't know any details about anything. No. Because he would have been like, you can't say this. Lily Ellen's very famous. You know? But who knows? Who knows what really happened? The only people that do are David.

harbour in this tippet woman. And everybody who listened to the Lily Ellen album. Some bangers on there, I'll tell you that. Oh, what? Well, she's had this. Maybe this woman should release an album, too. I mean, that's what happened when Amon released his and then his ex-released. She did If You Write Back.

Yeah. And to be honest, I feel like I like that one more. It might have been the greatest reply to a breakup song ever. Whoa, is this what it sounded like? Can you imagine Amon? He has this song, he releases this song. He's obviously heartbroken because he's written a whole song about it. It goes massive. And then his ex comes out and releases a song and does just as well.

If you right back. So good. I gave you all of my trust. I told you. Remember? It's a real whiny voice. No, way different to what I remember. Yeah, I think hers was better, to be honest.

Come on, this has hit a chorus. The radio edit is hard, does not hit as hard, does it? No. Z&M's Brie and Clint podcast. TVNZ Plus have released their top shows for 2025. And can I just say shout out TVNZ Plus. Definitely the best free streaming platform in the country. And it's great to have it, isn't it?

Obviously, we are proudly neon till we DIA. But you know, you've got to have a free option. Yeah, and TVNZ Plus is our option. Well, is it free? I think a taxpayer money funds it. Yeah, still. So actually, you are paying for it. You better use it.

It's not coming directly out of my bank account. You better use it, okay? They take the money before it comes into my bank account. Anyway, do you know the top 10 shows? Yeah. Rude. Wait, top 10? Top 10, yeah.

Don't. Are you saying, anyway, no, I'm not going to say. What? Rude that Celebrity Treasure Island is not in there. I agree. We didn't have a season go to air this year. Oh, what are you complaining about then? My season of Taskmaster went to air this year, though.

I don't think there were enough episodes, you know? Mm. Something. Yeah. Okay. Do you want to go through the top ten? Not really now, no. Oh, I know how many of these you've watched.

Number ten? Mm-hmm. The 10th biggest show on TV NZE Plus this year? Tulsa King. Anybody watch Tulsa King? No. No. That's got Sylvester Stallone, though.

Oh, yeah. I'm pretty sure. Ten. Number nine, we watched. What? The Hunting Wives. Oh, we definitely watched that. Claudia, did you watch Hunters?

I haven't, but it has been sold to me. Apparently I'd like. You would be into it. You would be all over it like a rash, Claudia. Because you love hunting. Because you love wives. You love the sister wives. Yeah.

Let's just say, raunchy. Brunchy. Hot and heavy. Who's the girl in it? Britney Snow. Britney Snow. I mean, I don't know. Oh, you know that, but I haven't seen it.

Number eight, these are the top ten biggest shows on TV NZ Plus this year. This show was phenomenal. And I assume all of these shows are still up there to watch, Day of the Jackal, with Eddie Redmayne. Did you not watch it? Nah, it was on my list. But I never got around to it. Very good. The season two coming.

I was watching reruns of Celebrity Treasure Island to be on set. Me too, me too, but in between Day of the Jackal and a lot of hunting lives. Number seven, Code of Silence Code of Silence No, don't worry about it Don't know it Number six, always in the top ten streaming or otherwise

Hyundai Country Calendar Oh, it's a classic Have you watched it? Yeah, I love it You with a farming background would really like it I really like it It's been going for I think 115 years Yeah, there's a reason

It's a TV show and it's fantastic And it's fantastic Number five, the fifth biggest show on TVNZ Plus Love Island UK Really? That makes sense. That makes sense. The UK one, obviously, not the American crap.

And not the Australian one either. Yeah, they're showing one's average, too. Number four, rogue heroes, which I haven't watched. Rogue heroes. I think that was the World War II one. Oh, don't just googly. No, I didn't watch that. Number three, got an absolute pounding in our house this year.

Bluey. Oh, Bluey. TVNZ's got Bluey. But they can't stick any ads in it. That's the problem with Bluey. Well, because it's a kids program. Yeah, I assume that's what it is. And they're real short.

Number two, the second biggest show on TVNZ Plus this year was The News. Oh, yeah. It's crazy to me that the news isn't the first thing when you open the TVNZ app. Like you've got to go down, you've got to go down like 10 clicks or something until you get to the news. Yeah, it's so far down, isn't it? Why isn't the news the main thing? Gillette's the most expensive thing that you get and most important thing you go. create. Put the news first.

Yeah. I don't want to tell TVNZ how to do their job, but, you know. Put the news up the top. That's my idea. And the number one show. Anyone want to guess on TV and Z Plus was for 2025? Was it? Was it that show with, what's the name, Bailey? Jonathan Bailey.

No, not Jonathan. Bill Bailey. No. Black Books. Oh, the after party. That show was fantastic. No, it wasn't the after party. It was the rookie.

After the party, I think it was called. Oh, no. not so good. The Rookie. I didn't like that show. The Rookie. Our producer Ella loves The Rookie. The Rookie's huge with Gin Z.

Yeah, people love it. I tried to get into it. And I was like, eh. Sad for Shortland Street that they didn't even crack the top 10. Yeah, that's really sad. Shorty Street, I get into Shorty Street. No, you don't. Yes, I do.

I do. They hook me in with their storylines. Do you? Yeah, like, I'll catch, like, when I'm watching Treasure Island, I mean, why wouldn't you? Celebrity Treger Island. Fantastic show. Should have been on the list. I'll catch five minutes at the end of Shorty

and the storyline pulls me in. Oh, that cliffhanger is classic. My favourite show I watched on TV NZ Plus this year was the 12. Oh. And it had Sam Neal. It had Sam Neal in it. Fantastic show. There you go.

Well, there's some ideas for you over the Christmas break. Everybody? What, did you say there was a special mention? A special mention for Taskmaster and Celebrity Treacher Islands. No way. At the top of the list. Crazy. The ZDM Podcast Network.

I think it's time we do a good, quick emoji update. Emoji update? Yeah, emoji update. What's in, what's out? What do we use them? What are we not using? What's cool? What's not?

What's hot? Do you like to use emojis that are cool? I just use what. feels right in the moment. Yeah, me too. Yeah. Me too. Let's just have a bit of a vibe check from everyone in the room.

What is our most commonly used emoji, Clint? Cry laugh. Me too. Yeah, me three. Cry laugh followed by the gritted teeth one. I do like that one as well. Those are my top too, I reckon. So the cry laugh is our top.

And just checking what generation? Millennial. Yeah, Claudia. Millennial. Yep, same here. Apparently, that is the top emoji used by all millennials. Yay. Yay, we're basic.

We are normal. Is the, yeah, cry laughing emoji. I also use sunglasses guy emoji a bit. Oh, you would. Yeah. You're such a sunglasses guy. Yeah, you are. And I sometimes use single tear laugh emoji where the teardrop is above the head.

You know that one? Oh, yeah. Which one? Laughing but a single teardrop above the head. It's giving anime that one. A little bit, eh. Which I love. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I do love. I use the smack, like, palm to the face all the time. Oh, your face palm. That's one of my faves. Yeah. Palm to the face. Palm to the face. Face palm.

Face palm. Face palm. Face palm. Yeah. Palm to the face. Face palm to the face. Face palm to the face. Face palm to the face.

Face. Taco emoji. Taco emoji. This is the new apple, apple, apple, no, pineapple, apple apple pen. No. Bipi epi. Turns out we're not cool. Who would have thought?

It's not what the Gen Zs are using. They're using the skull emoji, which we already knew this. We've known this for a long time. So, because this is the article that's doing the rounds. I'm like, this is old news. What I've done is I've asked Chat GPT, what are the most common emojis used by millennials? Oh, good thought.

And by Gen Zs, do you want to know? So for the Gen Zs, Zetas, their most common used emojis amongst that generation is the loudly crying face. What's loudly crying? So it's the actual crying face? The sob one. Yes. Ho!

That one. Yes. So they use that often for strong reactions, like especially intense humour or dramatic feelings, rather than the crying, laughing face that we use. Right. They use the skull emoji. They use the wuzzy face emoji. They use the woozy face.

They use the sparkles a lot. I use a few sparkles. I use sparkles. Which is used for vibes. Oh, yeah. And they use the hyacinth emoji. What's the hyacinth emoji? It's like a flower.

Oh. I don't think I've ever even seen this emoji. And they also use the moose emoji. I've never seen that flower one. Yeah. It says that. But I'm not cool. We found out before.

So let's, okay, let's just do a bit of a vibe check. These are the mojis that chat GPT says all of us millennials use. So let's just see, we've got millennials here. Yeah. The red heart. Love red heart. Who doesn't love the red heart? Yeah.

I mean, it just conveys the exact emotion, you know? The smiling face with smiling eyes, like with the little blushy face. Yeah, it's cute. It's great fun. Winking face. Yeah, naughty. Are you using the winking phone? Yeah.

Are you? Yeah. Give me the context of when are you using that? Um, uh, no, no, we'll wait. Um, you know, it's when you're feeling a bit cheeky, you know? Okay, like, in what context? Oh, like, oh, a couple beers tonight, wink. Or, um, should we get takeaways tonight, wink?

Right. No, okay. Okay. Um, and. Through personal your emoji use. I feel like it is too. I feel like it conveys who you are. Who you are quite a lot.

Mm. Mm. Mm. We just learned that Clint uses the wink emoji a lot. Well, most million eels do. Most people don't know this about you, but you wink quite a lot in person. A big winker. Yeah.

You're a massive winker. Like some people ask me, they're like, what's Clint like? Total winker. I'm like, he's a massive winker. Huge winker. Huge winker. Probably the biggest winker I know, to be honest. Always winking in public.

And I'm like, can you stop winking at all the girls in the office? I'll wink every day. It's weird. Yeah. Like you'll be at, you'll be... I'll be... I'll be at the vending machine and someone will walk past

and you'll just give him a wink. Well, I didn't catch me midwink. A guy came into the toilets the other day and it was just me and I was looking in the mirror. This guy caught me midwink in the work toilets. Yeah. People don't know this, but your favourite movie, Hoodwinked.

Yeah. Anyway, that's enough of that, I think. I don't need to ask Chat GPT what the boomer's favorite. emoji is. What do you reckon? Thumbs up. I'll text us on 96696.

Text us on 966 just with your favorite emoji. Your most used emoji. Hey, Dad, my surgery went well. I'm in recovery at the moment. Thumbs up emoji. Clint replies with a wink. No. It's ZAM's Brea and Clint podcast.

Breanclint, the Christmas tree and the Santa emoji would be getting a pounding right now, wouldn't they? Oh yeah. Santa emoji's good. Is there reindeer emoji or is it just regular deer emoji? I hope there's a reindeer like a Rudolph. What are the Christmas emojis? There's a big sack, I think, from memory. Oh yeah.

Hold on, here we go. Christmas. Oh, there's two snowmen. There's a snowflake. There's a present. Christmas tree. Undecorated Christmas tree. Santa.

Glass of milk. Reindeer. Slay. candle is apparently a Christmas emoji. You've got different ones to me. Do I? I've got Christmas tree with lights on it. Yeah.

Christmas tree with no light. That's what I said. Christmas tree decorated, Christmas tree undecorated. Santa, Mrs. Claus? Oh yeah, I can hold down Santa and then I can... Or you can have black Santa. That's cool. Is Mrs. Claus and then like another one that...

I don't know who that is. Who's that? Oh, who's that? Who's that person? That's Santa's sidepiece. Who's... That's Santa's mistress. Yeah, interesting.

Okay. Oh, there's plenty of Christmas emojis. Anyway, let's get classical. Oh, I almost sent Black Santa to my accountant just then. Whoops. This is Let's Get Classical, the game where we usually go against our producer Ella, but she's not here. So it's me versus you today, Brie.

All right. The best of the worst. Claudia's in charge. Hello, Claudia. Hello. So for the year, you guys actually have more points than Ella. So technically you guys have already taken out the year in this game. So do you want this to be winner takes all?

Oh, I see. Oh, like between us. Because you guys have won as a team, but we need to see really who the best is. Yeah, last goal wins. You could do that. Okay, the way it'll work. This is let's get classical. I've taken pop songs, reimagined them in like a classical way.

And you guys need to guess what they are. And we're working in teams. first team to three points wins. Okay. Would you like to... Actually, you're not working in teams. No, we're just... Me versus Clint.

Me versus Bray. I just disappeared for a second. Okay, buzz in with your name. I need the artist. It's like when you pull into your driveway and you've got no idea how you got there. He just sit there like, what? Okay, first song, here it is.

Oh, it's familiar. Oh. Is it a Christmas song, Claudia? It's not. Nah, it's a pop song. Ella would have had it months ago, guys. Yeah, she would have. She's one of Ella's favorite artists.

Brie. Brie. I know it's Harry Stiles. Do you know what it's called? No. I know, I know. As it was. No, it's not.

Harry Stiles golden. It is. Shit. I gave him that. I co-tailed that one. Yeah, you sure does. If you hadn't said Harry Stiles, I wouldn't have got it. Okay, very good.

One point for Clint. Okay, here's another one. Bree. That is Olivia Rodrigo, driver's license. It sure is. Thank God. Did you know that, Clint? I did.

Hey Thomas Thank you for backing me in You are the winner of 50 KFC chicken dollars this week Congratulations Woo-hoo, thank you No worries Can you name any Olivia Roderigo's songs, Thomas? I'm far from the two that you named.

None. They're the big ones anyway. Once you get those, too, you've got the test. Appreciate the honesty, Thomas. It's ZM's Breinclin podcast. I've thought of a new thing for us to do on the show. Yes. We have to do it this week because it's called Christmas catch-ups.

Okay. You know, when you use ketchup with someone you haven't talked to all year and you're like, oh, I should call so-and-so for Christmas. I love a Christmas ketchup. So we're going to have Christmas catch-ups for people that we're we've never met before, okay? We're going to call random businesses. What are we going to catch up about?

And Claudia's going to time us to see how long we can keep this Christmas catch-up going for. Oh, so this is a small talk exercise. Effectively, yeah. You're going to go first and you're just going to make it last as long as you can with this stranger. And this afternoon, you will be calling the busiest butcherry in Auckland, the Westmeyer butcher. It's BS. It's peak season. They don't want to talk to me.

You're going to keep them chatting, okay? It's time for catch up. God. I knew I should have picked the place. West Nets, what's your good afternoon? Hello, sorry. What was your name? Glenn.

Glenn, I knew that was you. How the hell are you, Glenn? I'm pretty good, thank you, and how are you? Yeah, not bad. Glenn, you know this time of year. just crawling to get to the end. You know how it is? I do indeed.

Are you guys busy there at the moment, Glenn? Not at this particular, not at this minute, but it can change in a second. Yeah, okay. Well, I just, while I've got you, Glenn, what are your biggest specials at the moment? Because I was going to, because I talked to Sandra, and she said she was down there earlier today and that you guys had some really good specials on. No.

No. I've got no specials on at the moment. Oh, okay. Okay. Maybe she's talking about the other butcher in town then, because, you know, she's not loyal. You know, Glenn? She's not loyal like me, Glenn. You know, I'm loyal. It's good to have the loyal customers. Are you catching up with the family for Christmas, Glenn? What are you guys doing on Chrissy Day? What am I going to do? I'm going to sleep all day at Christmas Day. Oh, how bloody good, Glenn.

Who's doing all the cooking for you guys over there? I'll probably let my mum do that, eh? That'll be good. What's your mum's name again? My mum's name is Denise. Denise. How is Denise? How is she?

Denise is great. Oh, she is such a lovely woman, that mum of yours. Yeah, she's beautiful. Can you tell her that I said hello? Oh, well, I'll let her know. Okay, good. I'll catch up with her. in the new year because I know she does get busy.

She does quite a lot of cooking in the lead up to Christmas. All right, Glenn. Well, I'll let you go and all the best for Christmas. I'll come in and I'll see you soon. I'll grab a leg of ham and some other bits and pieces off you, hey? Lovely. See you then, eh? Bless you, Glenn, you good-looking unit.

I'll see you soon. Bye, Joel. See you. Bye-bye. See you. Bye, Glenn. Okay. I'm too God.

I have to do. Okay, okay, okay. I had to wrap it up. Okay, that was outrageous. I don't know if you just got a chatty-cathy and Glenn. Hey, I'm from the country. I love to talk. When you were talking to about the meat specials for a minute,

I was like, this is BS. This is not a catch-up. This is not a catch-up. This is a business call. I bought it back on track. I asked him how his mum was, asked him what he's up for Christmas. That's a catch-up to me.

I think it counts. Time, Claudia. You wouldn't read about it. Two minutes and six seconds. Too long. Too long. That's the game. That was too long.

I'm going to call our local pub The Empire Tavern. Good luck. Thanks for calling the Empire Teven. Sorry, we missed your call. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Looks like I'm the winner.

What do I win? A stupid game. You didn't even get a run on the board. You invented the game. canceling the game. I started the game. I'm killing the game. I want to play tomorrow. That was so fast. Let's play again. Play Z-Eams, Bree and Clint.

It's Tuesday, and on a Tuesday we go looking for a name in a haystack. It is the hardest game on radio, and we've said that from the start, and boy, have we proved ourselves right. Every week it goes up $50,

and this week, it's at $2,650. That's a lot of have failed attempts at this game. We get a random name and we call a random business and if the person with that name answers, they win. We have a stringent randomisation process here at the Brian Clint show. We get one producer to choose the name

and one producer to choose the location. They don't discuss it. No. Usually Ella is one of those producers but she's gone on holiday early. Must be nice. Nice for some. We've had her write the name down before she left and put it inside an envelope. I've got a lovely pink envelope here.

Okay, Claudia, please reveal the name that our producer Ella has left for us. Oh, what did she pick? Like Julio or? Ella has chosen. Yeah, what did she choose last time? Sebastian. Sebastian. Guys, it's no better. Raphael.

Ella has chosen Francesca. Francesca. Are we calling an Italian shop? Well, Claudia has the ability to choose one. No, but she's already picked it. Yeah, I've already picked it. Okay. So it keeps it fair.

No, in the past, we've, let them think about where the name could be or who that person could be. We have. Have we? Yeah. I'm speaking with my gut here. Yes, that's why Ella chose Sebastian when we chose the Dolphin and Whale Safari. Let's call a pizza shop. Where are we calling, Claudia? I think, since

it is, you know, the weeks leading up to Christmas, we're going to go to Galton's Christmas World, which is the biggest selection of decorations in New Zealand. Okay. The happiest place on Earth. The happiest place on Earth. And Francesca could work at a Christmas shop. She could. Yeah, yeah. She could. Right, Claudia. When you're ready, please connect us to Goulton's Christmas World

where today if Francesca answers the phone she'll win $2,650 cash instantly. Last attempt for the year. Oh yeah. Last go. Last bite of the Christmas cake. Last chicken Santa's pants. This is Shona.

Hi Shona. It's Brian Clint calling from ZM Radio Station. How are you? Merry Christmas, Shona. Merry Christmas. We have a silly old game Shona on our show where we call and we try and get a specific name to answer the phone and if your name had have been Francesca today you would have won $2,650 cash.

Oh, well I'd better say at work then. Yeah, I know. No one at the store has the name Francesca Shona? No, unfortunately not. Bucker it. Oh, well. Hey, how's the Christmas rush going? How's Christmas at Galton's?

Very well. Thank you. It's going well. Oh, delightful. What's the biggest sellers this year, Shona? Christmas decorations. That makes sense. That makes bloody sense, Shona. Well, Merry Christmas, Shona.

Thanks for talking to us. Fortunately, I'm in the right game for that. You are, mate, you are. Merry Christmas, Shona. Have a good one, eh? You too. Bye-bye. Okay, see you later.

Well, I want a fitting way to end the year. We ended it? She was a doll, though, wasn't she? She was a doll. We ended this game, how we started it. Next year's our year. Oh, it's got to be a year. I kind of want it to hit five grand.

Oh, man. I want it to be, like, substantial. Hey, guess what? I think you're in for a drink. I think it might even go to 10. Francesca. We need to get Ella off the name picking. If there's anyone listening right now called Francesca, can you text us?

You won't win anything. I just need proof that Francesca's... Exist. Still exist. Yeah. Would we have accepted Fran? I think there's one on News Talk, Z.B. We would have accepted Fran.

If it was short for Francesca. Yeah, that's true. What else is it short for? Um, Frenny. ZDM's Brie and Clint Podcast. I saw this interesting TikTok from this woman who said, if your English is very good, then you should be able to understand this joke.

Okay. So this is a good joke. Anyway, listen to what she says. She explains. quite well. If someone starts acting like their English is perfect and they've never made a mistake in their life, then I always tell this joke to see if they laugh. There's no way that you're going to be able to understand this joke unless your English is perfect. Interesting. So this joke, she believes, is a great way to tell how your English is. If your English is perfect.

Okay, gotcha. Yeah. We've asked for a non-English speaking person. So, So English is not their first language to call up to test this joke to see how good the English is. That's you, Tamara. Good afternoon. Hi, Tamara. Oh my God, hello. This is so exciting. What's your mother tongue?

Tamara, what's your first language? I speak Spanish. I come from Chile and South America. Beautiful. Great to have you on the show. How long have you been speaking English for? I've been speaking English for quite a while, but properly, properly only for like the last three years when I moved here. Mara, your English sounds better than my English.

Thank you. I have put a lot of effort into it, and I have tried to not be around Latin Americans just to be around Huey. But now I do miss speaking Spanish, and my mom has told me off because I have forgotten quite a few words in Spanish, so she tells me off every time we call and I forget a word.

Do you feel like, Tamara, the less you speak Spanish, you do lose it? A little bit, only a little bit. And, of course, I'm not in, I don't know the new words that come out. Like, you know how the new generations have this new weird, like, words that we don't even understand. Yeah. I'm really lost with that now. I feel like very old.

Okay. Well, this is going to tell you how your English is going, this joke. So you're saying tomorrow will only find this funny. Yes. If her English is spot on. Exactly. Okay, here it comes. Are you ready tomorrow?

All right. A pony goes to the doctor and he's got a really bad sore. throat. He's coughing and he's coughing and he can barely talk and he's talking. He's talking like this and he says, Doc, you got to help me. And the doctor says, oh my goodness, let me take a look at you. He does x-rays. He does all the tests and then he looks up at him and he says, you know what? I think you might just be a little horse. A little what to her? A little horse. A little horse. Oh, my God. Tamara gets it. She gets it.

It just wasn't funny. You know what's funny? You know what's even funnier guys? Yeah. I'm actually a VAT. Really? I actually do X-rays and animals. She's like, this isn't a joke.

This is a real life. Exactly. I just finished my work chef and now you're talking to me about work. You are literally the perfect person for this joke. Yeah. The joke not only was. your English is not only perfect it's actually too good

Yeah, you can fist pump to that one. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, wait there. Michelle, we're going to do a birthday banger for Danica. They're going to do their partner Wendy's birthday banger. Hi, Danica. Hi, Danica. Hi, how you go good?

Good, thank you. How long have you and your partner Wendy been together? Oh, like 16 years, 17 years. Had to think about that one, didn't you, Danica? You're like, oh, Carrie for one, I guess. Long enough that it's baked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, Danica, what is your partner, Wendy's birthday?

8th of September 86. All right, that means you were 16. She was 16, sorry, in 2002, and here's Wendy's birthday bang. Oh, it's Avril. Just like how long Danica and Wendy have been together. It's complicated. You reckon she'd like that one, Danica? Yeah, everyone likes it a bit of Avil.

Oh, who doesn't? Absolutely. She hasn't aged a day. since 2002. One more for Cassandra. Cura Cassandra. Hi, Cassandra. How's your day been, mate?

So far, so good. So far, so good. Good. Well, let's see if it continues on with your birthday, banger. What is your birthday? The 8th of July, 1983. All right, that means you were 16 in 1999.

And Cassandra, on that day, this was number one. Vintage Brittany I haven't like thought about this song in years Have you? No, it's not the Britney you think of from 99 Nah What do you reckon Cassandra?

Yeah, I think there's a pretty good binger I like it Yeah It's nice, Kevin, it's unusual Wait there, we're going to have different talk about this Everl needs to go Only because It's played in Friday Jams

It's the most mainstream of the options I do love it But I like the other two more against the song. Calvin Harris under control and Britney Spears sometimes are not the Calvin Harris or Britney songs you think of.

No. Can we play both from the start and we'll just pick up a vibe? I might be anyone. Banger. Long fool out in the sun. Or. I know what my vote for is.

It's Calvin Harris. Tell me. Oh, I'm so torn. Okay, you want to do this? I'll do this. You'll go with me on this. Yeah, I'll agree with you. One bit more Calvin Harris, hold on.

You got Calvin Harris still there? But every time you... Oh, God. I'm genuinely... And the drop is good, too. Torn down the middle. Okay, let's go to Claudia then. Claudia?

Claudia, pick the winner. You're going to have. hate me, Bree. I feel like the vibe's right for Calvin Harris. No, I'm torn. Yeah, we're torn. Okay, give me Calvin Harris then. Sweet.

Decision made. Michelle, you've won birthday banger. Well done. Let's go, Michelle. From 2013, his vintage Calvin on ZM. ZM's Brinclin. Banger. Calvin Harris with a lesso, it's called Under Control

and it's the winner of birthday banger from 2013. Don't think about the fact that that song is 12 years old. Don't think about it. I didn't until you brought it up. Especially if you're a millennial. Don't think about the fact that that song came out in your prime minute was 12 years ago. No, I didn't until you bought it up.

Good, don't think about it. Yeah, good. Don't think about it. Someone's just text through and said, did I miss the original Christmas song release? No. You haven't missed it. It's tomorrow.

But I just want to say, um, Sam and I, the audio engineer. We've finished it today and it will be on the air tomorrow. And trust me, you don't want to miss it. We should book in a premiere.

Claudia's heard it. I just want to get like a bit of a vibe. What do you think of it, Claudia, the Brian Clinton original Christmas song? I'll premise it with I walked in going, it's going to be good, but like, you know, it is what it is. It was incredible.

Like, honestly, 10 out of 10. It was so good. Claudia never gives that review for anything. We're trying to get it on Spotify. I haven't heard it yet, but I'm so convinced it's going to be good. I might put it on our Spotify. Oh, it's good enough for the rebirth of the Hot Mess Express, our DJ duo. The problem is Ben doesn't remember the password for our Spotify account.

So if anyone listening is like a record label exec? Or you're like an expert in getting songs on Spotify. Can you please text us 9-6-96? We need some help because we want to get this Christmas. It doesn't make sense if it comes out next year. No. Our Christmas song has to go on Spotify before Christmas. So that people can enjoy

The first ever Christmas drum and bass song On Christmas Brickles in the grass Gas bottles empty you get If you get Has been in the pants Come on, come on

Everyone shake your tickle kids Oh Oregon 330 Premier tomorrow 330 Genuinely Genuinely There's a lot of work That's gone into the song

I genuinely don't think I've been more excited about anything else this year than releasing this Christmas song. Like, I don't want to talk it up, but this might be a part of our legacy. Oh, okay. 3.30?

3.30 tomorrow. We're going to play it every hour, though, aren't we? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Every hour, so you won't miss it. Yeah, but we'll get tinsel tits on the air at 3.30 so the kids can hear it on the way home from school. Because the kids want the tinsel tits. They want to shake the tinsletes.

No one loves tinsletts more than kids. Brigh and Clint podcast. Look, I just want to preface this next story I'm about to tell with the fact that I know it's grim. It is a grim story, so you've been warned, okay? I don't know what the... I just want to preface the story with saying, I haven't heard it.

It's a personal story about something that happened on the weekend. And look, I'm going to say I didn't technically get involved, but I was there. Okay. All right? I love that you're distanced. yourself from it already? Well, I'll just tell the story.

I'll just tell the story. Probably isn't even that bad, actually. Okay. It's probably actually not that bad, not as bad as I thought. I'll ask you and Claudia afterwards if it's as grim as what I thought. Okay. So, on the weekend, um, was in Sydney for the Lady Gaga concert. Mm-hmm.

Fantastic time. What a show. My partner and I, we had tickets for the Friday night. Mm-hmm. Went, um, on the Friday night. it was so good and we had tickets that were quite far back up in the stands anyway it was so good on the saturday we talked about should we go again and should we get tickets for the mosh pit different experience and a big part of the reason that decided it for us is that a friend of

ours was also in sydney going to the saturday night show great which we were like great we're going to have more friends there yeah going to be awesome anyway eventually we decided We got tickets and we, I texted my friend and I was like, hey, where's your guys Airbnb? Because we'll come over to your place for some pre-drinks before the show. And then we can all catch the train in and be great time. Anyway, she said, oh, here's the address. Come on over whenever. We've turned up to the Airbnb.

And we get there and we're all sitting in the lounge room. We're having drinks. It's a great time. You know, very fun. And there's quite a few people there. There's probably like eight or nine of us there. We're all having a good time having some drinks. I've went to use the bathroom.

And this is an Airbnb. The way I'd describe it, it wasn't the nicest. It wasn't horrible. But it's definitely someone's house. Like someone lived in the apartment. Yeah. And then they've Airbnb'd it out. It's not an apartment that is just used for Airbnb.

No. No. Okay. So I've went in, used the toilet. And I've noticed, I was like, oh, I've just used the last. couple of squares of toilet paper and I went out and I said to my friend hey you're out of toilet paper you need to get some more toilet paper because I couldn't see any in the bathroom and that's when my friend and the other two boys that were staying there looked at each other

and went did did you guys see any other toilet paper no more toilet paper right in the Airbnb the problem was is that the Airbnb was many many flights of stairs up okay and there was no elevator no one wanted to go down no so at some point in the afternoon there was people going to the toilet and i was like there's no toilet paper yeah and it was at the point like this was maybe an hour and a half later and i'd had a few drinks and i was like i need to use the bathroom again i need to go weas and i said oh did you guys end up finding some toilet paper and that's when one of the boys that was staying there said no but there's a towel in there you can news.

Oh. And I looked at this guy and went, you've got to be kidding. I thought he was joking. I thought he was kidding. Not kidding. I need to know the ratios. Yeah.

How many boys? How many girls? So, hold on. One, two, three, four. There was four, four, four boys. Yeah, five girls. Four boys and three girls. Okay.

And you were one of the girls And I was one of the girls And I wanted to I had so many questions about We were calling it the best towel Yeah yeah Because I've explained to you That boys don't wipe

And this is the thing So I was like oh the boys are good Surprised I had to explain to you But I did The boys are not wiping Which I was quite shocked at Yeah Still am quite shocked at

So Does that mean just the girls Are using the towel? Correct And you're one of them So you haven't used it yet So there's only two girls in there That have been using the towel

And one of them was your partner the other girl that was there. Yeah. And the only other girl that was there is the one that works at our work and you have just added her as the one who was using the communal piss towel. That is so grim.

Look, I don't know. So did you go to the toilet? I drip dried. I think that was the right decision. Such a gross story. I warned you. The ZDM Podcast Network. One of the hardest questions I find at the moment is,

especially as like an adult who just buys the things that I want anyway, is when someone goes, what do you want for Christmas? Yeah, it is a hard one. Can I get some ideas of what you want for Christmas? And I never know what to send people like my mum, because she still wants to get me a Christmas present. My poor mum, she asked me so many weeks out from Christmas, what do you want, what do you want, what do you want?

And I just never know what to say. I genuinely find it hard. So I thought of something, and I don't know if I've cooked here, but I thought of an idea. because we're all using AI these days. What if we ask chat GPT what we want for Christmas? I put so many random things into my chat throughout the year. Yes.

I've told you guys that I talk to it in the car. It should know you. It should know me pretty well. I use it for problem solving. I use it for bills. I use it for if I'm going to buy something to research that thing. So maybe chat GPT knows us. I sent you guys a prompt to put into your chat GPT this afternoon

to see if it can figure us out. and that prompt was, based on all the things you've learned about me this year, what do you think I want for Christmas? And you've done it? I've done it. And you've done it, Claudia? Sure have. How do we all feel about what it's come back with?

Mine's a pretty honest. Mine was mean to me. Really? A little bit. I feel like mine hit the nail on the head. I don't know if mine got me that. Okay, well, let's, how about you second opinion? You tell us and we'll tell you.

Okay, so I said to chat, GPT, based on all the things you've learned about me this year, what do you think I want for Christmas? And it said, because your life is busy, noisy, and on air, some likely candidates for you include top tier noise-cancelling headphones or earbuds, which I already have. Yep.

But you would have liked those if you didn't have them. A serious car upgrade accessory, like wireless carplay module, dash cam, or a premium car. detailing voucher. You would love all of those things. Actually, I would love those things. You would love those things.

I bought the wireless dongle already, but other things, I would love those things. That's the perfect gift for you. Or a leave me alone moment. A solo gym session, a float tank, sauna or massage. You would also really like that. Actually, actually, it's completely nailed me. I take it back. Okay.

What does chat say that you want for Christmas, free? Mine didn't give actual things. At first it said, oh, it went quite deep on me. It goes, what you say you want, something practical but nice, something thoughtful, something you'll actually use. It then says, all true, but also not the whole story. Ooh. And I was like, what?

It says a deep exhale, not a nap, not a sleep in, an exhale where your shoulders finally drop and your brain shuts off for at least five minutes. Jet GPT thinks that's what you want for Christmas. Yeah. And then it was quite interesting because it was like, um, It went even deeper and it was like, oh, I'll tell you what gift you would be secretly disappointed with. Yeah. And I was like, oh, that's interesting.

And I feel like it's nailed it. So it says a gift that you would be secretly disappointed to receive is anything that feels like it was bought last minute, an obligation-based present or something that you could have bought for anyone. So a generic present. It does know you. Yeah, isn't that funny? Like, that's spot on me. Anyone will be disappointed with the third one, but the other two, yeah, wow. Yeah.

Okay. Claudia? Mine started off pretty nice. So the first thing it gave me was something that makes your creative life feel more you. So not a generic gadget, but something that improves how you feel when you're working. Okay. So it's giving me headphones, audio accessories. Same.

Like things I wouldn't justify buying myself. And then it goes into like experiences, a planned day or weekend that requires zero organizing from me. And I'm like, that sounds nice. That's nice. But then at the end, it's given me a little heart. And then it goes, and honestly, I think what you really want is to feel seen, understood, and a bit spoiled, without having to explain yourself. Yeah. Don't we all want that?

Why is it always bullying me? Remember how earlier in the year we asked chat what Claudia's fatal flaw was? And it said, loneliness. Loneliness. Sad. Anyway, give it a go. If you stuck for ideas, give it a go. It split mine out.

It goes, I can give you a gift. that your partner could give you, a gift to your mum could give you, a gift to your friends, it can get very specific on you. Genius. It's a good idea. It is, but it's also a bit scary

how much it knows about you. Yeah, a little bit, eh? So, there you go. And with that, the 2025 season comes to an end. This year, ZDM broke records and the bank account, giving away over $350,000. It's ZM's Brie and Clint podcast.
