The ZM Podcast Network. Tababa lava everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint show. G'day guys, happy Tuesday. Your day or morning couldn't have got worse than mine this morning. Tell me about it. So I took my dogs out for a walk. It was raining. Started to rain.

That's never a fun time. And then one of my dogs went to do poos. I got my bag out, collected the poo. Compostable, I hope. Yep, compostable. Then my other dog went to do a poo. Don't worry, I'm prepared. They usually both go poos.

And then both of them proceeded to do two more poos each. And by the last poo, I had no bags left. I know. Don't you have one of those infinite rolls of bags inside that little dog bone thing? They just go real quick. Do they? And to be honest, I will put my hand up and say, I have been stealing bags for a number of months from the dog park.

Have you? Yeah. Where do you get them? Do they have free ones there? At dog parks, they always have bags. Normally, they provide bags and I just take a couple extra. Plus, Bree's got a collection of those. Remember how New World used to do plastic bags?

She's got those ones. That's for when she needs to do a poo. Yeah. You need the more heavy duty ones. I need the heavy duty garbage bags for those. The big black sacks. Yeah. You need the more heavy-duty ones. I need the heavy-duty garbage bags for those. The big black sacks. Yeah. Wait, are you talking about the bags or my poo?

Hey, today on the show, lots of fun things coming up, including your chance to win with Tradie vs Lady. We're going to play that next. The Tradies are making a comeback. They do not want the Ladies to get to 100 points first, so they are on the war path right now. They are. But the ladies, we need you to play as well.

0800 dial ZM. $50 on the line. Who will take it out this afternoon? Bree and Clint. It's tradie versus ladies. Three, two, one, let's go. Here we are. Another game of tradie versus lady for the year.

The tradies on 92, the ladies on 98. Our lady's calling us from the Tron. She is 29 years old and she got stung by a jellyfish when she was 11 years old. Welcome to the show, Amber. G'day, Amber. Hello. What type of jellyfish are we talking? Are we talking a blue bottle?

What type? I don't really know. I was in Australia and, yeah, I was on holiday. I'd say a blue bottle. Got me. Did your family members come and pee on you to make it feel better? No, we just used vinegar. Oh, okay.

Yeah, see, that's actually something that would be less traumatising. Good on them. Well, it reminds me of that episode of Friends where Joey and... It's actually a myth. Yeah, I know, but Friends made us think it was real. You're taking on our training today from Christchurch. They're 20 years old and they love cannelloni. Welcome to the show, Hunter.

G'day, Hunter. How's it going? What type of cannelloni are you into, Hunter? Yeah, spinach and ricotta ones. Oh, talk dirty to me. How good is it? Bloody type of cannelloni are you into, Hunter? Yeah, spinach and ricotta one. Oh, talk dirty to me. How good is it? Bloody good, isn't it? Oh, it's bloody ripper.

Hunter the cannelloni hound. All right, your buzzer is tradie. Amber, yours is lady. First of three correct answers gets 50 bucks from KFC. Good luck. Here we go, guys. Happy Halloween today. One of the top Halloween costumes is to go as Justin Bieber and his

wife. Who is he married to? Trady. Yes, Hunter. Trady. Hayley Bieber. It is Hayley Bieber. And if you haven't seen it on TikTok, the costumes are so funny. So funny. It's like

Hayley Bieber's dressed up in this beautiful gown looking all amazing's like Hayley Bieber's dressed up in this beautiful gown looking all amazing, and then Justin Bieber's in crocs and a hoodie. Oh, yeah, and his drawstrings pulled all around his face. Yeah, it's weird. Nice work, Hunter. One to the tradies.

Question number two. Where did the pineapple plant originate? Was it South America, Africa, or Canada? Tradie? Yes, Hunter. Lady? South America. It is South America, Africa or Canada? Tradie? Yes, Hunter. Lady? South America. It is South America.

He's away and flying. That's two to the tradies. You need this one here, Amber, to stay in it. Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song. Tradie? Yes, Hunter. Slow Rider?

It is Slow Rider. I mean, imagine the cannellonies you're going to buy with this $50, Hunter. Sky's the limit. Up to your eyeballs in cannelloni. Well done. You're the Trady vs Lady champion. Cheers to your eyeballs in Cannellini. Well done. You're the Tradiverse Lady Champion. Yes. All good.

Bree and Clint. Have you ever wondered how much of being a firefighter is just rescuing cats? With the way they're portrayed in, you know, movies and TV shows, I'd say about 90%. Feels like it. Yeah. Feels like a lot of... Rescuing cats out of trees.

Yeah. And do you think they enjoy that part of the job? You're like, I'm here to save people and buildings and you want me to get your cat out of a tree? Do you reckon they enjoy the cat part? Maybe it's like a bit of light relief. I don't know. Could be. I think they probably enjoy you know, that the job is never

the same. Yeah, true. That's a good point. A person I know had to be rescued from their doggy door one time because they locked themselves out of the house and they tried to get through the doggy door, got stuck, had to be rescued by their doggy door one time because they locked themselves out of the house and they tried to get through the doggy door, got stuck, had to be rescued by the firefighter. By a firefighter? Yes.

Because you know why? The firefighter had to come and cut them out of the door. See, I'd enjoy that part of the firefighting job. That's hilarious. It's a great story. Because no one's life is at risk. Nah. My life's not at risk.

It's very funny. When I'm around the head side of the person I can be like, have good bedside manner and be like, everything's going to be okay, ma'am. And when I'm around the butt side, I can laugh and take photos, like Snapchat to send to my firefighter friends. They could only talk to her butt because it was locked.

Because her head was inside. Exactly, it was locked and they could only communicate through her butt. Is that the Morse code on her butt? Yeah. Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat. Is this okay? There's a video of a group of firefighters actually in New South Wales today

that are rescuing a cat which is stuck inside the dashboard of a car. Wow, okay. So the kitten is like crawled up, I guess, through the engine bay of the car. This happens quite a lot because it's warm. Yeah, into the air vent. It's not a stray kitten though. It's just some... Yeah, but it happens quite a lot. Like the household cats will crawl up in there because it's nice

and warm. It's gone through an air vent. It's now inside the dashboard of a Holden cruise. It's gone too far. And they have to get it out. They have absolutely wrecked the car trying to get this kid out. Was it a nice car? Yeah, it was like a 2015-ish Holden Cruze car. There's no way that the cat could just get out itself.

It got up there. Well, you'd be too scared to start the car because what if it's next to like a fan? Well, if anything's going to scare it out, it would be, you know... I don't even know the way out. Anyway, they ripped this dashboard apart, but the lady who owned the car and the cat didn't seem to care. She was just happy to get her cat back. I would be

so pissed off. Would insurance cover that? Great question. Great question. I think it probably would. Lodge your claim because your cat climbed into the dashboard. Yeah. And then the fire service had to pull it apart. Literally. Probably.

Did I ever tell you about that time when I worked at a car rental company and we rented out this Toyota van and they brought it back like 10 minutes later and they said, there's something wrong with this van that you've just rented me. And we were like, there's nothing wrong with the van. Like someone had just rented it. Like it's been here like for 12 hours and now we're renting it to you. And then we popped the hood of this van and a four metre python was sitting on the engine. Oh, nah.

Nah, no thanks. And it had crawled up because it was winter time and it had crawled up onto the engine. And no wonder the van was a bit sluggish. There was a four metre python in there. As you turn on the air conditioning and a snake just comes out of the vent at you. It was huge. And that's why I don't want to live in Australia. We want to ask you the question this afternoon.

Like the cat, like the snake, where did your animal get stuck? Did you have to call the fire service to get your animal back? Or did you manage to get it back yourself? Where was it? What was it? How long? How dumb is the animal? We want all the answers. Oh, $800 a day. Just share your

pet stories with us this afternoon about where they got stuck. You can also text us on 9696. We'd love to hear your stories. Right now, though, we want to know where your pet got stuck. Firefighters have had to rescue a cat from inside the dashboard of a car in Australia overnight. And we asked the question, how much of being a firefighter is actually just rescuing animals? Eden works for Dispatch in the fire service.

Hi, Eden. Hi, Eden. Hello. How are you guys? We're good. How much of firefighting is rescuing cats and dogs and animals? Yeah, I mean, we take a lot of calls to them, but we don't always send them. It depends on where they're stuck and how they're doing. Eden, like my friend, have

you ever gotten a call where someone has gotten stuck in a doggy door and the firefighters had to go out and use the jaws of life? A person, not a doggy. Yeah. Way more than you'd expect. I thought so. I would... Always the kids too,

and we always make sure that the parents take a ton of photos. Yeah. Could you imagine? The kids are just stuck. A kid, you'd forgive, but a fully grown adult who's slightly intoxicated, stuck in a doggy door. Mate, don't lie.

If you'd locked yourself out of the house, you'd give it a go. You'd give it a go. Thank you for your insight, Eden. Thanks, Eden. We really appreciate it. We ask you, where'd your animal get stuck? Someone said, my daughter's blue-tongued lizard crawled up into the dash of my Hilux. Ended up pulling most of the dash apart to get it out.

It took about four hours. Oh, no. Not the blue-tongued lizard. Not the blue-tongued. Someone else said, I had a baby duck who escaped on a rainy day, and then it was seen floating down the gutter into a drain through the grate. Was it escaping? Yeah, well, who knows?

I had to get my neighbours to help lift the heavy grate to rescue the grate. Was it escaping? Yeah, well, who knows? I had to get my neighbours to help lift the heavy grate to rescue the duck. I would have thought that duck was Gonski. I'd be like, see you, duck. That's the ocean's duck. The duck's like, no, leave me, I'm free. I'm sick of living in your bar. Sick of it.

Olivia's called up. I know I'm $100 at him. Hey, Liv. G'day, Liv. Hello, how are you? We're good, Liv. G'day, Liv. Hello. How are you? We're good. Thanks.

What sort of animal are we talking about? We're talking about a cat. Okay. Where did the cat get stuck, Liv? I lived in Rimuera. I was a neighbour of a rather fancy mansion. My cat went missing for three to four days and I had a feeling she was through a back fence at our property.

Okay. And one day we decided after about four days to go and look, and I saw her in the window of this mansion. Oh, okay. Creepy. My husband wouldn't let me smash the window to get her out. So he rang the security company and said, like, hey, who's here?

Where's the owner gone? Is the house monitored? For some reason they told us, no, the house is not monitored, so the alarm will go off but no one will come. The security company told you that? Yes. Okay, yeah, that's what you want from your expensive mansion security system.

I know, exactly. Don't worry, no one will come, it's all for show. Yeah, there'll be a lot of noise but you won't get in. But you'll be right. So we ended up finding a window that had been left open. The owners had gone away to their batch up north somewhere for a few weeks, so they weren't going to be coming home.

We had no way to get our cat out, so I just went in the window that was open and got her out. The alarm was blaring, but I just got her out. You did a smash and grab on your own cat? Basically, yes. Wow. How long did the alarm go off for? Probably about five minutes.

Oh, that's not bad. That's not too bad. That's fine. It's worth it. Did you have a little snoop around the mansion while you were in there? You take a few things. Did you ever look in their fridge? I didn't.

I was terrified because it was so big. Once I'd gone in the window, I didn't know exactly how to get to the room that I'd seen her in. Yeah, and they probably got cameras, eh? I'm just... Well, I don't know. Wait a second, wait a second. So the cat obviously got into the mansion through the window that you got in.

No, I think she went in the garage as they were leaving for holiday. How? I mean, but really, how do we know that's how she got in? It's creepy, isn't it, that she just all of a sudden is in this mansion. She's looking at you. She's like, Mom, come and help me. Did you ever tell your rich neighbours that you had been inside their house to steal your own cat back?

Well, we tried to get in touch with them to see if they could let us in, but no one could get in touch. Yeah. But for some reason, they just decided that a big man with a big dog had been rummaging through their house because there was fur everywhere. Wait a second. I've just had a light bulb moment, Olivia. Do you realise that your cat is the original cat burglar?

She is. Oh, she was the one that was burgling the house. She's a reverse cat burglar. She's an actual cat burglar. Well, we're glad you got your cat back and you didn't get arrested, Liv. Thanks for sharing. Thank you. Liv wouldn't have got arrested.

It was the cat burglar that would have. No, cats can't get arrested. She broke into a mansion. Why do you think we call it a cat burglar? Security coming. No, you're all right. Just go in. It's all good.

Have you ever heard of a dog burglar? No, you're right. I haven't heard of a dog burglar? No, you're right. I haven't heard of a dog burglar. You've made an excellent and very logical point. Case closed. Bree and Clint. From iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.

The whole world has been rocked by the Matthew Perry news. And at the same time, they've been waiting for word from the rest of the Friends cast, which obviously was going to take time, but they've just released a joint statement, Dean. They have. We've been waiting for this. You know, his family had released one. Other, you know, cameo stars had released one. Finally, we've heard from the main cast.

They said in a joint statement, we are utterly devastated. We are devastated. They wrote, there is so much to say, and we will say more in time, but for now we are just grieving. So it was a short and sweet statement. I think that they would just be in so much shock. He had his struggles. He had struggles that he was very open about. He confessed that he relapsed between 60 and 70 times.

60 and 70 times. 60 and 70 times. Wow. He spent over $7 million he'd spent on rehabilitation. I'm not saying that's actually the cause of death. I'm just saying it was a very long, difficult road for all of them. They were with him through the entire journey with him. They were very, very close, as you know. And in 2021, when they did the big reunion special,

he actually made the comment that whenever they would see each other at an event or a party as you know after the show had finished that would be it they'd spend the entire night with that other cast mate just drawn into each other and then i remember courtney cox crying when he told that story because she said that is so true we were just just so close. So they would be devastated, absolutely devastated. Yeah, I can't even imagine how they would all feel. I wonder if it's, you know, when they heard the news, if they would have all called each other or, you know, connected in some way because the only people that would really know

what that would feel like would be those ones who were there filming that show. That's the thing. They're the only people in the whole world who understand what that experience was like. And I think you'd go through all the stages of grief with something like that and you'd go, shit, did I do everything that I could? Could I have been there more for that person?

Jennifer Aniston talks about, I read because there's a lot of stories about how her and Matthew Perry were very close and probably one of the closest relationships at certain points filming that show and she was actually the first one that confronted him about his drinking and his um you know his the issues he was having during the filming of friends and he said he was actually so grateful that she actually asked him about it and um you know it was like a weight off his shoulders that he had someone there to talk to about it the whole thing is so sad and um it's so final is the hardest thing to deal with about it as well so there's the latest live out of los angeles with d mccarthy

there's a story going viral on tikt TikTok at the moment from an Aussie mum who was treated very badly at a clothing store in Australia. The store is called Kukai. Brie, what kind of shop, for those who don't know, what kind of shop is Kukai? It's fancy. Is it fancy? Well, to me it's fancy. Like, things are quite expensive.

Like, you're probably paying for a top $200 or $200 or $300. Oh, okay. Like it's fancy. And it's like nice clothes. It's like trendy. Going out clothes. Young person. Yeah.

Like, yeah. Do you shop there? I, they don't stock my size. Oh, okay. So I can't shop there, no. Right. Yeah. Okay.

That's kind of what happens with this lady in this video as well. Whether they stock your size or not, I don't think you should be treated the way that this lady was treated. Her name is Yazzie. Have a listen to what happened to her. If you ever wake up having a good day and you want to be humbled really quickly and knocked back down to size, just go try some shit on a cook eye.

I walked in there today, pulled an item, some high-waisted pants off the rack, went to try them on. The chick that was standing out the front of the change rooms completely ignored me. So I went in and I tried them on and they didn't fit. And I came out of the change rooms. There was two girls standing at the counter and I said, do you have this in a bigger size? It doesn't fit.

She took it off me and checked the tag and said, no, sorry, we don't stock plus size items. I don't consider myself to be plus size. And I was about to go home because I wanted to cry. I didn't. Luckily, I went into General Store and walked out with a 28, which is a size 10 in denim. So, **** you, cook eye.

This is the problem. Like, I know it's funny and we're sitting here and we're like, oh, it's so funny, but this is the real problem. I don't think it's funny the way that she was treated. I think the way she is handling it is great and I got a laugh out of her sign off at the end there. But this is, yeah, I totally agree and she's like

obviously, you know, got a good enough attitude and enough self-confidence where she's come out of it okay. But this is the reason why so many women have such, like this is the reason why I don't shop in stores. And I have not shopped in stores for a long time because of the way that I've been treated or being told we don't stock your size in store.

You can try online if you want to. Like just being told stuff like that when you go shopping. That's why I like online shopping. Also asking for a size 10 and being told that that's plus size. It's absolutely ridiculous. That is batshit crazy. They need to check themselves before they wreck themselves. Like a size 10, are you joking?

Like come on now. And that is one nasty sales assistant who has thrown the whole company under the bus there. Like there'll be people in the marketing team at head office going, shit, doing damage control at the moment. But you can't say that to people. You can't do that.

I just don't understand why, like why you have to be mean. And also just i just think everyone no matter what your size is you deserve the same respect and the same service as the next person like even if even if you walk into a store like i have many times where maybe there isn't anything in there for me. Like I don't want someone to be like, we don't stock your size in here, go somewhere else. How about you try and help me and I can figure it out on my own and then go cry in the dressing room by myself.

Totally. It's not even just size. Like it can just come down to what you look like sometimes. It can. And you may just feel like you don't belong there. Whether you look like you can afford something in a shop. It's exactly right. I mean, look at Pretty Woman.

Look at Pretty Woman. What happens in Pretty Woman? Oh, you need to watch this movie. I have a friend who is Samoan. He has tattoos and he has the money to buy whatever he wants. He has done very well for himself. And he went on to a car yard to buy this particular car that he was interested in, that he had researched.

And he said there were three reps on the yard. Not a single person spoke to him. Not okay. And he was there to buy the car. He was there to pay cash and buy the car that day. No one spoke to him. So on a matter of principle, he walked out, went to a car yard on the other side of town.

They had a similar car and just bought the car from them. And they missed out on tens of thousands of dollars because they refused to believe that this person could afford to shop there because of the way that they looked. Can I just say, though, as well, in my experience, people who work in retail, there is some amazing people that work in retail, some is some amazing people that work in retail. Oh, yeah.

Some amazing people that are very good at their job but also just people that I have met that have made me feel so good about myself and I've ended up buying more stuff. You go back there, eh? I end up feeling good about myself just because they're nice people and in turn they're good at their job and they sell more stuff. You know? Totally.

I just don't get it. I don't get people. We want to ask you this afternoon on 0800 dials at M. When was the shop assistant or the whoever it was, the person in charge. When were they rude to you? Yeah, when were they rude to you?

When were they a total B to your face or behind your back? Maybe they thought that you couldn't hear. 0800 dials at M or you can text your story in to 9696. Have a little bit of a vent with us this afternoon. You know, get off your chest. Yeah, you're welcome here. It's a safe space.

Share it. Text us on 9696. We want to know. What was the shop you were in and they were just an absolute pee to you? For no good reason. Yeah. It just felt like you didn't belong in there. And they made you feel like that as well.

Exactly. A woman has come out on TikTok and said, I've had enough. This lady at this store treated me like dirt and I've had enough. She asked for a size 10 and they said, no, we don't do plus size clothing. A size 10? In what world? And who cares if she is plus size? You don't say that.

Oh, God, it makes me so angry. So we want to know, Shay, when was someone rude to you in a shop or something like that? So I went shopping one day in a clothing shop And I tried on these tiny little denim shorts I wasn't so keen on them But I thought I'd go and check Because if they were cheap enough I'd buy them I was a broke student, couldn't afford anything

Went up to the counter and the lady was like Oh, here's $60 And I was like, oh, I'll just leave them for today I can't really afford that And she was like, you can't afford $60. What? Oh, my gosh. She did not, Shay.

Yeah, I swear she did. I was shook. It's like some kind of reverse psychology where she was trying to shame you into buying them or something. What a rude, ignorant. Oh, my God. How dare she? Did you say anything to that? No, you won't. Did you say something back to her? I didn't, but on my way out I pushed over a pile of shit.

Yeah, you did Shay. Yeah Shay, get him Shay. You get him. Someone texted and they said I was on a small cruise in Croatia. The boat had Kiwis, Aussies and Canadians on it. One great chick in her early 30s was from Canada. She was actually born in Croatia though. We went into a really expensive shop in Spit and she was looking on a sales rack. The shop assistant greeted us in English and we replied in English.

And then the shop assistant turned to another shop assistant and said in Croatian, I bet they can't even afford anything off the sales rack. She then not so politely replied in the native Croatian tongue that she absolutely could buy things but she could stick everything

on the sales rack where the sun don't shine. That's my favourite when someone thinks that you can't understand. It happened when we were in Italy and my dad could obviously understand all the Italian and it was just the best. I was like, just the look on people's faces where they're like,

oh. What were they saying about you in Italian? Oh no, not me. There was a few times where they were talking about like, oh, bloody tourists, like don't know how much things cost. And then my dad would pipe up in Italian. They'd be like, oh, you can speak Italian. He replied in Italian with a thick Australian accent.

Yeah. And they're like, this is insane. Buongiorno. Bitch. Bellissima. Tash is here. Hi, Tash. Hi, Tash.

Hi. Who was rude to you, Tash? I went into a store because my child wanted a specific pair of denim shorts. Okay. I was getting it for a birthday. The store's no longer around now, thank goodness. But went in there, had picked up the shorts, was just having a little look around,

and a lady came up to me and said, excuse me, but we don't actually stock anything in your size here. And I was like, okay. First of all, how would they even know? Do they have eyes that can tell exactly what size you are? Like, what a load of BS. I mean, to be fair, I was quite large, but I turned to the shop assistant and said to her,

you are so lucky that I do not have time to go and stuff myself into these shorts because I would make Dan sure that if you really have to come. You're going to have to come and cut me out. Yeah, just to prove your point. I get it, Tash. Who cares how big you were, Tash? It's not up to them to decide if they have sizes or not or what size you are. Like, it's not up to them.

I just put all the stuff back and went and got them from a different store. Yeah, of course you did. Good on you. But why would they lead with that? They don't even know who you're shopping for. Exactly. And to approach me in the store and say, you're in the wrong place pretty much. Wow.

To be elitist about the store and be like, you're not welcome in our shop. Why are you on? What is this power trip? That was an end to a story. No, yeah, yeah. Tash. Tash. We're being very careful not to name. No, I, yeah. Tash. Tash, we're being very careful not to name.

No, I didn't. No names, no names. No. No names. Okay, Tash. Okay? Yeah. Well, good on you, Tash, for going somewhere else.

Appreciate it. They don't deserve your money. Someone texted and said those two girls in that retail store that were rude to that lady will be listening to All I Want for Christmas Is You for the next two months. So jokes on them. You know, and the thing I think also is that there

are people that work in retail. It is a hard job and people do have bad days. But I mean, just be kind to each other. It doesn't take a lot. I know every people, you know, everyone has their days but to be rude to someone, you know, you don't have to do that. It doesn't take a lot. I know every people, you know, everyone has their days, but to be rude to someone, you know,

you don't have to do that. Yeah, like this. Someone texted and they said, this is not mean, but the girls in Lorna Jane and Chartwell Hamilton are absolutely lovely and helpful. See? They measured me up for a sports bra and stuff like that. They would normally freak me out as I'm a bit tubby, but they were so lovely.

I only ever buy active wear from there now. See, that's the difference. Yeah, see, that's awesome. And it goes a long way, like to make someone feel comfortable because for, you know, it is terrifying to go into some shops. Like I'm so scared.

I don't even set foot in a lot of shops because I'm so scared. My favourite thing is walking into a shop I haven't been into before and like just trying to be casual and looking at the price tag of something and then going, okay, I'm in the wrong shop. And then just

pretending, you pretend for like 15 seconds, like, hmm, maybe I will get this. And then you're like, oh, text message, I need to leave. Oh, look at the time. Or else I would have bought everything in this store. I'll be back, guys. I just need to go and update my parking. I'll be right back.

Let's get classical. It's the game where we guess classical music songs, pop songs done in classical style and we are not good at it. I feel like we've been alright the last couple of weeks. I feel like you've been on a hot streak. Well, that was one week. Yeah. I had one good

game. Yeah, that's a streak. That's not a streak. That's a streak. Claudia usually gets these songs together for us, but she's got COVID. So producer Ella's in charge. Hi, Ella. Hey, guys. Hello, Ella.

Hi. I'm not going to lie. I'm pretty good at this game when Claudia does it and tests me out. Were you quite musical? I don't know. Yeah. You're the most musical on the show by far i am scared that she's chosen all gen z songs though i actually yeah true i've done well i've

done well have you yeah there's a little i'm surprised for the third one which i'm really excited for it's a bit of an age gap here i'm worried it might be like the dora the explorer theme song or um i don't think they'll do a classical cover for Dwarf. Yeah, right, okay. Well, I don't know. You never know. It's a popular song. You don't. We'll do the first one.

Here is classical song number one. What? What? Well, I'm getting something. Clint? Yeah? Is it Taylor Swift? Oh, no.

Is it a Sia song? No. Okay. Oh, it's right there. Oh, my God. It's not right there for me. I've got no idea. No, pass. All right. I don't know either. No idea. i'll give you a hint rihanna is that helping umbrella yeah

wait can we listen to it again knowing what the song is? Oh my gosh. Jeez, I still am struggling to hear that. Ella, Ella, Ella, eh, eh, under my umbrella. That was a hard one. Okay, that was not a good start. I thought it was great. Right. Sounds beautiful.

Okay, we're off to a hot start. Let's do a different one. Let's pick it up. Let's keep it going. Right. Sounds beautiful. Okay, we're off to a hot start. Let's do a different one. Let's pick it up. Let's keep it going. Here's number two. Here we go. Break. Yeah, break. Break.

Come on. Oh. More than I wanted to get. Is it Full Out Boy? Yeah. Come on. Do you know the title? Hold on.

I've been going down, down. Ready? Two, one. What is it? Fall Out Boy, Sugar, We're Going Down. Yeah. As performed by Brie Thomas-Hell. I was singing the right one, eh?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go. That wasn't old. No, that wasn't gingerly. Good song. Okay, we're on track. That was easier than the first one. This next one?

Oh, Lord of the Rings style. I know, medieval. Game of Thrones? Brie, that's Doja Cat, Paint the Town Red. Is it? I can hear it straight away. Oh, cool. Let me hear it, let me hear it.

Look to the film. Don't take a loan, I'm going to settle. Ye olde Doja Cat. Isn't that a good song? That would go off at the local strip tavern. I reckon. I want to watch. Doja cat dressed as like an elf.

Drinking a pint of mead. Yeah. Talking to a centaur. Oh, she's a devil. She's a bad little bee. She's a devil. She a devil. We live in a pineapple under the sea.

Doja cat. Who won that? Tie. It was a tie. All right. There you go see the pineapple under the sea. Do, ja, kat. Who won that? Tie. It was a tie. All right. There you go, guys. You both won. Well done, everybody.

Bree and Clint. Right now, I want to talk about this study that I've come across, which talked about what was the ideal height for a man and a woman based on what the opposite sex thinks. Oh, okay. Right? So based on what the opposite sex thinks. Oh, okay. Right? So here's what the study did. It had about 500 people of different ages from different places all around the world.

They were each asked what they look for in a partner in terms of height for both a short-term and a long-term relationship. Oh, right. Do you like a tall one for a one-night stand, but then you want to marry a little shorty? Well, you joke, but the results are quite interesting. So the average ideal height that the female participants wanted their male partners to be was what do you think?

Short-term or long term? This one is just... Just in general. Just in general. Just in general. I believe girls, if they were asked, they'd say they're looking for a six footer. A six footer?

Yeah. Female participants said that the ideal height was 5 foot 11. Oh, okay. So one inch off. Yeah. 5 foot 11 was the ideal height is what they said. And then what do you think the male participants said was the ideal height when looking for a female partner?

Well, I mean, what height are you? Don't make me sick. Don't make me sick. Don't make me sick. I'm not telling you. It's not related. No, I'm not telling you. It's just if you... No, I'm not telling you.

Ella, if we had to guess, what height do you think? She thinks she's like a 5'9"? 5'8"? 5'9"? Probably 5'8", I'd say. 5'8". Looking for a 5'8"? Is that what you want to answer?

Yeah, a 5'8". I call it a 5'8 out of that what you want to answer? Yeah, a 5'8". I call it a 5'8 out of 10. Okay. Yeah. Okay. The male participant said the ideal height for a female partner was 5'5". Oh, Papa. Me!

Is that me? Is that you? Are you 5'5"? Oh, my gosh. I'm the ideal woman. If you work... You're tiny. Am I?

If you work in the metric system, it means that females are looking for male partners around 180 centimetres and female partners around 165 centimetres. Is that you? Are you 165? Oh my gosh, I am. Are you? Are you the ideal height? I'm literally that. Right. Last time I measured. Okay, isn't that interesting? Because I see Ella as being, no offence, tiny. Are you sure?

Have you measured yourself? I have no idea. Do you know what? If someone asked me, I wouldn't be able to tell you to win money. Yeah, true. Your mum stopped updating the height chart a few years ago, eh, on the wall. She painted over it. Yeah, gutted.

Let's talk about short term long term if the results changed. So it says here that they wanted their women men wanted shorter women for short term relationships while they preferred taller partners for longer term relationships. Shorties for shorties and longies for longies. Whereas the women wanted their men to be taller than them for longer term relationships and a little bit shorter. They didn't mind for shorter term relationships.

Yeah. So the same? The same. Yeah, the same. Yeah. And that is probably a breeding thing, right? Like it's probably a... A what?

A breeding thing. Like a primal... What's Like it's probably a... A what? A breeding thing. Like a primal... What's the word I'm looking for? What? No, like what's the word I'm looking for? Like... Genetics. No, like...

No, no, let him go. No, let him go. This is my hole. I'm interested. I don't want to touch your hole. You go. This is like when you're looking for someone to breed with. You know?

Like, there's a word for this. There's a word for this. I don't know. Wait, is this what, before you were married, would you say, would you call up the boys and say, guys, we've got to go find some breeding partners. You want to come out? You want to come out this weekend, eh?

We'll go find some breeders. You know what I mean. Like it'll be something in there that says Someone said on the text machine, are you talking about primal instinct? Maybe. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. Don't ladies want to? I don't know. I don't know.

I know what you're saying. You do, right? You're just letting me flounder. I don't. I know what you're saying. I don't get it. Shut up. Okay. Well, I'm the you're saying. You do, right? You're just letting me flounder. I don't. I know what you're saying. I don't get it. Shut up. Okay. Well, I'm the wrong height anyway. I'm six foot two. Nobody wants me. Mate, I tower.

I'm taken. Nobody wants me. I tower over the right height that the men are looking for in the women. Yeah, me and you. Yeah, what are you? So you're- Six foot two. So you're like a little bit over.

Yeah. I'm 5'10". They're looking for 5'5". Oh, yeah. Can you imagine? All the guys' eyeline. They don't even see you. Their eyeline's down here.

You're up here. You're like, fellas. They're like, nobody around. They're like. Not a soul. Everyone, stay away from her. She's humongous. Not a single.

That's a huge bang. Behave it. Let's do a birthday bang of the number one songs on your 16th birthday. And let's start with Sarah. Hello, Sarah. Hello. How are you? I'm not too bad, Sarah.

That time of year, you know. We're all tired, aren't we? We are, yes. It's been one heck of a all tired, aren't we? We are, yes. It's been one heck of a year. Hasn't it? We're running on fumes. I feel like we've been saying that for the last four years. Yeah, when are we going to have a good one?

We're like, no, this has been a year. It has been. After the year we've had. Oh, we deserve a good summer at least this summer, Sarah. I know, yes, 100% agree. Yep. Well, let's see what your birthday banger is, Sarah. I know. Yes, 100% agree. Yep. Well, let's see what your birthday banger is, Sarah. What's your birthday?

James Arthur. Sarah, it's a bit of James Morrison. Oh, James Morrison. Yeah. A lot of Jameses. Oh, very spooky song. Where is he these days? Nobody knows.

Do you remember that song, Sarah? Yes, I do. Did you like it? Yeah, yep. Back in the day, yep. Were you a fan of the males wearing the fedoras? Not really. No, that wasn't him.

You sure? That was Jason Mraz. I feel like he wore a fedora too. I get James Morrison, James Arthur and James Blunt confused. Let me tell you a spooky story. The Maggles were all wearing fedoras. In the 2000s, every white guy had a fedora. Okay, wait there, Sarah. We're going to do a birthday banger for Sarah.

Hi, Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hi. Wait a minute. Are you multiplying? Yes. That is. Can I just say two first-time callers?

Wait a second, Sarah. Hold on. Hold on. God damn second. Yeah, Sarah. You can't tell, but we're on our feet, and we are giving it like 85%. I'm about 75, but it's the most I can muster at the moment, Sarah. But yes!

What took you so long? I don't know. I always miss the call. I always open the card just after. Oh, you're here now. Great. We're so glad you're here now. You've waited long enough.

Let's do your birthday, Banger. What's your birthday? Birthday of the 5th 1991. Alright, that means you were 16 in 2007. And on your 16th birthday, Sarah, this was number one. Avril Lavigne.

Love it. You've got to love that one, Sarah. That's one of the top three Avril Lavigne. Love it. Love it. You've got to love that one, Sarah. That's one of the top three Avril Lavigne songs too. She is my top pick to get her here for Friday's Live. Oh, you want her? I would love to see Avril. Yeah. She's still doing stuff.

Yeah, she'd be a great option. Okay, wait there, Sarah. We're going to go to our last caller. Not Sarah, it's Dylan. Hi, Dylan. Hi, Dylan. How are you? How are you? I thought we were going to get the hat trick of Sarah's. Yeah. Okay, wait there, Sarah. We're going to go to our last caller. Not Sarah. It's Dylan. Hi, Dylan. Hi, Dylan. Hey, yeah. Hey, yeah.

I thought we were going to get the hat trick of Sarah's. Yeah. It's never been done. Dylan, Dylan, can we call you Sarah? Is your middle name Sarah Dylan? No, it's not, but I speak English. All right. Great, Dylan.

What's your birthday, mate? 6th of the 3rd, 2002. All right, Dylan. That means you were 16 not all that long ago, back in 2018. But let's roll back the tape. Here's your birthday banger. Gas plan. Gas plan.

I can't do this on my own. Drake. Someone watching it. A global number one hit for Drake. Mega. You into it, Dylan? Yeah, yeah. Goes alright.

Yeah, banger. Goes alright. That was huge. Not a bad birthday banger, Dylan, but we do have to vote for our favourite. Sarah, Sarah or Dylan, I vote for Sarah number two. I'm going with Sarah number two as well. Girlfriend Avril Lavigne. Girlfriend Avril Lavigne.

Well done, Sarah number two. You're the winner of birthday banger. Yeah, best song. We're going to of Birthday Banger. Yeah, best song. We're going to get that on for you right now, Sarah. Don't wait so long in between calls, eh? We'll talk to you again in the next, like, two years. She's never going to call again. She's never going to call.

She's like, absolutely never again. That was enough. Brian Clint, here's your Birthday Banger. You're on Zidim. Brian Clint. Zidim, Brian Clint, here's your birthday banger. You're on ZM. Brian Clint. ZM, Brian Clint. That's Avril Lavigne. It's Girlfriend.

It's a birthday banger from what year? 2007. Get out. Yeah. 2007. Hold on, let me double check. I'm pretty sure. 2007.

Yeah, 2007. Did you think it was older than that? Newer. I thought it was like 2010, 2011. Oh. I thought it was like 2010, 2011. Oh, I thought it was like 2003, if I'm honest. Oh, really? Yeah, 2004, something like that. Yeah, right.

Yeah. She's drunken vampire blood, eh? She does not age. She's a cyborg now. Is that what it is? You know the theory that Avril actually passed away and then they created this robot cyborg that, cyborg that is now kicking around in her place. And she just does not age a day.

No, cyborgs don't. Yeah. As long as you keep them lubed. Yeah, she looks very young, very limber. Good for Avril. Good to have cyborg Avril on the show. Yeah, it is. I want to talk about a duke for a minute, a Spanish duke, actually. You probably haven't heard of this guy because I'd

never heard of him. But his name's Fernando... Don't assume my knowledge of Spanish dukes. Okay, have you ever heard of Fernando Fitz James Stewart? No. Yeah, I didn't think so. He has been ordered to shorten his daughter's name, which consists of 25 words and is three sentences long. 25 words? So the Spanish Duke Fernando, him and his wife recently had a daughter and she was baptized with a name that consists of 25 words. Okay.

Do you want to hear the name? This could take a while. Yeah. words. Okay. Do you want to hear the name? This could take a while. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Keep in mind I haven't practiced this. Could you do it in one breath? Okay, let me try.

Ready? Sofia Fernanda Dolores Catana Teresa Angela Dila Cruz Michaela del Santurismo Sacramento del Perpetuo Sacroto I think you took one breath, but that was pretty. That was... That's her whole name. How the hell did you get that on a driver's licence? You don't. They've been ordered.

They said, look, we don't care if she's been baptised under this name. You need to shorten the name. The longest name we will accept is John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. And the only reason we'll accept that is because his name is my name. Isn't that ridiculous? So apparently the late duchess had, which I believe is his mum. Yes. His mum had a Guinness Book of World Records most titled woman. So she had one of the longest names.

Oh, most titled. Okay. Yeah, most titled. And they wanted to do it to like pay tribute to her, okay. Yeah, most titled and they wanted to do it to like Take the record off grandma. Pay tribute to her as well. Yeah, right. Her name is outrageous as well. The late Duchess Maria del

Rosario, Catana Alfonso, Victoria, Eugenia Francisca, Fitz, James Stuart, Y.D. Silver was her name. See that's where I think we've absolutely crushed it with my daughter's name, Tui. It's three letters and she could spell it

and write it from like two and a half. Keep it short. Keep it short, keep it simple. Wait, how many middle names does she have? Don't put me on the spot. What's her middle name? Two, she's got two middle names. Why?

Why? Why'd you go with two? Did you have to keep the two grandmas happy or something? No, just the way it rolls off the tongue. I don't want to give out her middle names because I don't want anyone to hack her Instagram account. Her Instagram account. Fair enough.

I thought I would love to hear from people this afternoon that have a really long name. And maybe it's not you. Maybe it's one of your siblings or maybe it's your mum or dad or someone you know. But we want to try and find the longest name in New Zealand right now. There are some really long te reo Maori names in the country. Of course.

We'd love to hear from you. Those go well. You can text them in if you have enough time to text them in because I'm sure it's going to take a while. Text them to 9696 or you can give us a call right now on 0800 dials at M if you have a really long name.

I'd even be keen for just some really long vanilla English names. Like if your name is David, John, Peter, Paul, Don, Johnston, the 12 apostles. 0800 838383 McLovin.

We want to hear from you too. 0800 dials at M. Let's see if we can find the longest name in New Zealandvin. We want to hear from you too. 0800 dials at M. Let's see if we can find the longest name in New Zealand. Love to hear from you. Even if it's a relative of yours that has that name. Yes, even if it's a relative or someone you know, but do they have a really long name? There's a duke that's gotten in trouble, a Spanish duke after he's given his daughter a 25-word name.

Yeah, he's showing off. It's three sentences long. Yeah. He thinks more is more. It's not the case. Honestly, like, just rein it back a little bit. Like, I know you want to pay tribute to every bloody uncle, auntie, grandmother, grandpa.

Is that what it is? I think there's a lot of, like, stuff. I don't think I could come up with 25 names. It's a very long name. I think there's also a few place names in there, like Trinidad, Sacramento's in there. Did he put Trinidad in there but not Tobago? Yeah, Tobago didn't get a look in.

Rude. We'd love to give you the whole name again, but there just isn't time. We want to know from you, have you got a really long name? And Kiwana has called up. Kia ora, Kiwana. G'day. Sorry, it's Kawana.

Oh, Kawana. Kawana. Tell us, mate, how long is your name? And we'd love to hear how long it is. Well, I've got four names. Okay. And it's Kawana Thomas Turanga Marcus. That's a cool name.

I don't think it's too long. I think it's perfect. Is it short enough that it fits on the arrivals form when you go through customs? The last A of my last name fills the last box. I mean, it is literally the perfect length name. How long did it take for you to be able to write your whole name out in full as a child?

I think I'm still working on it. Kawana, if it was up to you, if it was up to you, would you give yourself a shorter name if you had the choice, or you like it? How long it is? Oh, it's something a bit different, so it's not too bad, but if

they start knocking boxes off the end of government forms, then I'm in trouble. You're screwed. You're really stuffed. Alright, thank you, Kawana. We appreciate it. Let's go to Bridget on the 800 dial ZM. Hey, then I'm in trouble. You're screwed. Yeah, then you're screwed. You're really stuffed. All right, thank you, Carwen. No, we appreciate it. Let's go to Bridget on 0800-DARLS-ZM. Hey, Bridget. G'day, Bridget.

Hi. Tell us, do you have a long name, Bridget, or do you know someone that has a really long name? I have a long name. My name is Five. Five names. Okay, go on, hit us with it. So it's a vanilla name.

It's Bridget Elizabeth Gretchen Gardner Taylor. Damn, five vanillas. Nah, I disagree. Five vanillas in a row. Nah, I disagree. Which one's not vanilla? Gretchen is not vanilla. How many people do you meet with the name Gretchen these days?

Just because it was in Mean Girls doesn't mean it's not. And none for Gretchen Wieners. Yeah, Gretchen was my aunt's name, so that's where that one came from. I think that's a cool name. What's your initials? B-E-G-G-T. So I've got egg in the middle of my name, so that's great. Do you?

Bigged. Yeah. Bigged. It could be way worse. Yeah, your name wouldn't fit on the government form, would it? No, it doesn't. I just usually put Elizabeth on the government form because otherwise she's not making it on.

Yeah. Bridget, imagine if your parents gave you, like, the five names that spelt out the initials boobs. I mean, that would have been quite cool. Bridget, Olivia, Ophelia, Ballerini, Segura. Santiago.

We'd have to change my last name, but that's okay. We could make it work. Bridget, I think you go for it. I think it's worth money down at the government form place. The government form place? Yeah, is that where you change your name? Yeah, it is actually. Someone just texted and they said, this is no lie. I have worked for a family who have a child

whose name is Nissan Pulsar Skyline Pauline Daniella. It says that I'll leave the last name out of it. So they obviously love... Wait, that's not even the last... The last name's not even included in there. Yeah. Nissan Pulsar Skyline Pauline Daniella. What would your kids' names be if you named it after your favourite cars? Audi,

R8? Yeah, that's what my kids would be. Is that what it would be? Yeah. I'm not wrong. Let's go to Emma. I know it has a thousand in. Hi, Emma. Hello, Emma. What's your long name? I am Emma Barbara Ellen Louise Ixton-Latston. You are not. Emma, what were your parents thinking? Well, they separated years ago, and when I asked them,

they just blame each other. So no one can tell me. I love that, Emma. Tell us one more time, what's your full name? Emma Barbara Ellen Louise Exton-Luxden. Jeez, that is a mouthful. I bet your name doesn't fit on forms. No, well, it does now because once I got married,

I took the first opportunity to ditch half the names because I don't know who half those people are. But it was actually not that easy because when you get married you can just change your last name. So I tried to get my licence updated and I still had to have all the middle names. I ended up paying and getting it done

officially and now I just have three names which makes life a lot easier. Yeah, good on you. Simplify the process. I agree. Life's too short to have a long-ass name. Just pick your favourites and move on. I love this. Someone texted them and said, they said, my younger sister has

a long-ass name. Because she's the youngest, we all got to pick a name. No, no, that is not a good idea. Her name is, she's not a cat. No, it's not a cat or a dog. Her name is Stella Alexis Latoya Haley Buttercup Keeler.

Who picked Buttercup? Who? Is that actually on your sister's birth certificate? That is so much fun. Your poor sister. This is Stella Alexis Latoya Haley Buttercup Keeler. None of the names relate to each other at all. No. It's just like a

mishmash of names. Someone else said, my full name is Cheyenne Lasara Danessa Toria Harper. Oh, yeah. That's a mouthful, isn't it? Harper. Harper. How would you say it?

Oh, I thought it was Harper, but you got caught up in the rhythm of the name. It's the last name, Toria Harper. Oh, there you go. H-A-R-P-U-R. What's your full name? Oh, too long. Is it? No, it's not that long, actually.

Brianna Stephanie Adelina Tomasell. That's pretty long. It's pretty long. Mine's so vanilla. Clinton Paul Roberts. I think you might have the most vanilla name. Yeah, vanilla by name, vanilla by nature. Clinton Paul Roberts. Brianne Clint.

Obviously, the talk of last week was Britney Spears' memoir that she released. I am still yet to read it. I really want to, though. I'm catching lots of excerpts from the audio book narrated by Michelle Williams on TikTok. Yes. Including the one where she out Justin Timberlake for cheating on her with one of the All Saints. That's right, yeah. Wild. Justin

Timberlake, can you just imagine his PR team when they got a hold of this news that she was releasing this memoir? They're like, quick launch an NSYNC reunion to take the heat off this. Justin, I think you should lay low for about 10 years and

that might do it. Justin, you need to beatbox yourself off to a deserted island just for the next 18 months. Justin, we need another Sexy Back album. Like, none of this other stuff you've been releasing for the Trolls movie. That was great, but we need another sexy back.

We need it. No, in all seriousness, though, a lot of heavy stuff that has come out in that book. And, yeah, I can't wait to read it front to back because she's just so interesting. And something that has kind of come up because of that memoir was they were talking about the movie Crossroads that she was in, which I believe she was either on set of that movie

or she was filming a music clip for that movie when she found out Justin was, when he broke up with her. It was one or the other. And then people kind of, I think, started talking about how she never really did much acting after that movie. She also, her movie got slammed by the critics. I quite liked it. I mean, I haven't watched it in years,

but from memory I thought she did an all right job. I read something about it recently because they're re-releasing it to cinemas. Are they? For like the 20-year anniversary. Interesting. And the reviews are, it's not as bad as everybody said it was in 2003. It's just, it was cool to hate on Britney Spears acting.

Exactly. I think she actually did all right. And now it's come up to the surface, her audition tape for The Notebook. So this was a real thing. She was one of the front runners to be cast as the main character, Ali, in The Notebook, which Rachel McAdams ended up booking that job and did an incredible job. But now Britney Spears' audition tape is doing the rounds. That would have been such a different movie.

It really would have. Yeah. I've got some of the audio, so just keep in mind, I think some of the details changed in terms of... The script. The script, but this is Britney Spears' audition tape for The Notebook. I tried to call you to tell you that I wasn't going to stay, but nobody answered the phone.

You know what? I can't be here. Not the way I feel about you. It's not fair to Lon. You know what? You can't marry two people, and I'm feel about you. It's not fair to Lon. Noah, you can't marry two people, and I'm marrying one, so I should go, okay? I prayed for you to die, and the war will not die. I would have felt completely horrible if you would have died, but I kind of didn't want

you to be alive anymore because I couldn't bear the thought of you being with somebody else or of us never seeing each other again, So I got to go. Okay. No, I'm so confused. It may not seem like it, but I really am. Unmistakably, Britney Spears. It sounds so much like her, eh? Is she acting or is she just reading? Look, it's hard to tell when you're just listening to the audio.

Like go home. If you go home tonight, type in Britney Spears notebook audition. Is there a video to go with that? There's a video. Right, okay. And you can actually see, you know, she gets quite emotional in the audition. I wrote you every day. I wrote you every day for a year. No, that was his line.

Oh, right. Yeah. I could have got Justin to play Ryan Gosling's character. I think that would have been just after they broke up. I know, but in a dream world, like a marketer's dream, they'd be like... I just can't picture anyone else playing those characters now. No.

Like, you know? Once you know... When something's so iconic, you just can't picture anyone else. Obviously, there's a lot of friends' TikToks and Instagrams doing the rounds at the moment, and with the passing of Matthew Perry bringing up friends news that you might not have known. I never knew that Matt LeBlanc

who played Joey was the first person who got offered to play the dad on Modern Family. Was he? He got offered the role of Phil Dunphy but he said nah I don't think I could do that justice and I can't imagine the dad as anyone other than who it was.

Yeah, see, I have never really watched that show. Can you imagine that if Joey was Phil Dunphy? Yeah, I reckon he would have done a good job. But the guy who plays it, obviously. I can't imagine it. It would have just been Joey. I'd be like, that's not dad, that's Joey. Well, that's why he did a spinoff show after Friends called Joey.

Joey, yeah. Hey, Google, how many days is it until Christmas? Do you want to guess before it tells me? 48. 55. Oh, I was close. 55 days until Christmas. Are you an advent calendar person?

Nah, because I always forget. Forget to open the doors. Yeah, I just forget. Yeah, but that's fun. Then you have a big catch-up day. Oh, that is fun. Where you get to open like five doors at a time. Yeah, don't mind the catch-up day. What's hot at the moment is those beauty advent calendars

where you get like a different beauty product every day for the 24 days leading into Christmas. Remember Chanel released one last year and it cost a fortune and then people were roasting it because there was real crap things in it. It was over $700. Yeah. And some of them were like a little plastic Chanel trinket, which was garbage. Like you get in a bloody Christmas

bonbon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it had a little Chanel C on it. Who cares? There's a whole lot of them. Not all of them are shit. I was looking at some Mac do one. So you get Mac cosmetics. Oh yeah, that'd be quite fun. $526. What do you get one. So you get Mac cosmetics. Oh, yeah, that'd be quite fun. $526. What do you get in that?

24 different Mac products. Is there a lot of lipsticks in there? Yeah, there is. Those lipsticks would be quite a good one. Locotane do one. You know, that Locotane brand. The skin care? Yeah.

There's only $130. Oh, so cheap. Lush do a $390 advent calendar. How many bath bombs do you need? Can you imagine how strong that thing would smell? 24 things from Lush. You would be able to smell it from the neighbour's house. Honestly, I've always wanted to do this test,

like an experiment, as to how far away you can smell a Lush store. Yeah. I reckon, I honestly reckon... I can smell it from store. Yeah. I reckon, I honestly reckon. I can smell it from the car park. I reckon it's 100 metres. I reckon you could smell it from 100 metres. And Jo Malone, the fancy perfume, do a $857 advent calendar for Christmas.

I think not worth it. Like I love all these products and I love all this stuff. It's a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot of money. And then there's Christmas. You've got to get a present for Christmas too. So I've been looking into some alternatives that aren't beauty products.

There's advent calendars you can get. You can get a Lego advent calendar from the New Zealand Lego website for $53. That's not bad. It's got 250 different bits of Lego inside it. What is it, one piece of Lego per day? No, that'd be 250 days. Huh? I said it's got 250 bits of Lego inside it. Was it one piece of Lego per day? No, that'd be 250 days. Huh? It's got 250 bits of Lego in it.

Oh, sorry, I've missed that part. Does it make... Each day makes something. I was thinking, you know what would be cool is that each day you make a little piece and then by the end it makes... Yeah, that's good. T2, the tea company, do you want to add that. I love T2.

Every day you get a different tea bag. Keen on that because guess what? Every day you're drinking a cup of tea. It makes sense. $56 though. That's a lot of tea. It's two bucks a glass of tea. I don't know if a glass of tea at home is worth $2. Must be some nice ass tea. You can get an Andy Warhol

puzzle advent calendar but they only do 12 in that advent calendar because you need a couple of days to make the puzzle. Oh, right. It's probably good so you don't get behind. And my favourite one that I found, there's alternative advent calendars you can get. It's a gin bauble advent calendar.

I've had that calendar. Have you? Yeah, I had it a few years ago. 24 Christmas baubles. Each one is filled with gin. You screw the top off, drink the gin, screw it back on and then hang it on your Christmas tree. And by the last

day your whole Christmas tree is decorated and you're absolutely pizzowed. Just keep in mind if you've got dogs or cats, make sure you take out the gin before you hang it on the tree. Not speaking from experience. So like my dog who was a puppy

knocked every ball ball off and there was gin everywhere your dog's gin drunk and crying in the corner yeah literally it's $295 if you're into that gin ball ball

how much gin do you get does it say? 24 servings of gin 24 okay um yeah I can do the math right
