No. I'll sit those ones out. Can you imagine the people who went on the first aeroplane trip, like the first commercial flight? Yeah. Who were those people? People who really hated boats. Imagine the people who went on the first aeroplane trip, like the first commercial flight. Yeah. Who were those people? People who really hated boats. Honestly.

Have you ever seen the picture of what the inside of a commercial aeroplane used to look like, like in the 1930s kind of thing? It kind of looked like an army plane. Worse. It kind of looked like a boat. It kind of just had deck chairs inside it. Horrendous. Yeah. Who was putting their hand up going,

yep, I think that's safe. I'll go on that. Put me on the boat. The boat's got a ballroom and a buddy shuffle deck board. Put me back on the train. I've seen that Disney cruise. It looks lovely. The train's got a restaurant cart.

The lines are open. Santa is listening. He has turned ZM on to the radio and he normally listens to us anyway. Correct. But he has emailed us, Clinton. He loves Birthday Banger. He does. It's his favourite.

But we can't do his because he's like hundreds. I'm going to go, he's so old. He's like hundreds of years old. Yeah. But he said to us, hey, is there any way, look, I'm running a bit behind on making the presents for the kids in New Zealand. Can you get some of them on the air and I'll be listening so I can write it down and get a move on?

We will pass on all these texts to Santa in an email. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is the latest. This is massive and I couldn't be more excited. One of my all-time favourite Christmas films is, of course, Love Actually, along with millions of other people. Yes.

But there's news out today where one of the cast members has released a video teasing something that is coming from the Love Actually cast. Okay. So I believe Love Actually was made in 2003, so it's 20 years old this year. Mm-hmm. And I smell a reunion. Okay.

So take a listen. This is one of the characters. She plays the girl who gets together with Hugh Grant's character, the Prime Minister. Oh, she's the tea lady from Parliament. The tea and cookies lady. Yes. This is her.

Yeah, yeah, okay. Hello, everybody. I have just been filming something for the delightful Richard Curtis. He is doing something that is going to be celebrating love actually big time. And he asked me to be involved and I was very honoured and flattered and of course said I would. I'll keep you guys posted about what it is, but I think it's going to be a really lovely, feel-good thing to go and enjoy.

Oh, that's fun. Can you imagine? I hope they get, like, it was a star-studded cast. If you look back at it, they had people like Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Colin Firth. Who else was in it? I mean, there was a million stars in there. Yeah.

So many. Liam Neeson was in it. Liam Neeson was in it. Yeah. Who was the guy from The Hobbit that did the sex that was in the porno? Oh, yeah. What was his name? He's uber famous.

Claudia Woodknife. She's a big Lord of the Rings fan. What was the name of the guy from The Hobbit that was actually in Love Actually? What was it? Martin Freeman. Martin Freeman. Martin Freeman.

Rowan Atkinson was in it. You forget about all these people that were in the film. Obviously, it will be very sad because Alan Rickman will not be in the reunion. Yeah, but his character was a bad guy anyway. Yeah, he wasn't very nice. Which doesn't make it...

Okay, that's a weird thing to say. Anyway, Love Island reunion. Yay, let's focus on that. Love actually. I'm like glad he's dead. Weirdo. That's not what I meant. Brie and Clint.

Make me hotter. Make me lose my mind. Zed and Brie and Clint. That's Tyler and Water. Make me sweet. Make me lose my breath Zinian Brian Clint, that's Tyler and Water. Make me sweet Make me hotter Make me lose my breath Make me water

Who let Aunty in here? I like it. Make me hotter Make me lose my breath Make me water Who's singing? It's Aunty. Who is it actually?

I don't know. Some lady. I like it. Have you not seen that one on TV? I think I've seen it, yeah. It's good. I got a notification today, a push notification on my phone from the Air New Zealand app,

which initially really freaked me out because I was like, shit, am I meant to be? It asked if you wanted a coffee in the lounge because you know how you've got that Kauru membership. It only asks you that when you're in like a hundred metre vicinity of the lounge. You would know.

It really freaked me out because I went, I'm quite a forgetful person and I went, am I meant to be going somewhere for work today? Do I have a flight that I've forgotten about, am I meant to be going somewhere for work today? Do I have a flight that I've forgotten about? Am I meant to be at the airport? And deep down, I knew that I didn't just have a random flight on a Wednesday.

It still freaks you out. So I have a look at the app and it says, Mr. Roberts, your flight to Christchurch on Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024, has been moved 10 minutes earlier. They really felt the need to send you a push notification for that? It's in April next year. That flight is 119

days away and you've moved it by 10 minutes. You're asking me to replan what I'm doing in 119 days by an increment of 10 minutes. I don'tan what I'm doing in 119 days by an increment of 10 minutes. I don't know what I'm doing on Sunday. Does Air New Zealand not realise that we're in the lead up to Christmas?

We've got too much going on. We don't need to be worrying about a flight in April. Move the flight by three days. At this point, I don't give a shit. No, it doesn't matter. I will the week of the flight. But not right now. Months beforehand.

It got me thinking though, is there people, like do they need to do that because they've moved a flight that's six months away by five or 10 minutes and they've had people push back and go, hang on, no, sorry,

I've just plugged that into my spreadsheet and actually that throws everything for the whole day out because I actually have that day, 119 days away, fully planned out. I know exactly what's happening that day. Well, they've planned the day wrong. They shouldn't be planning it within 10 minutes

that you need to be somewhere else. You know, I agree. But people do plan very, very far ahead. I have never been that person. I'm actually really proud of myself that I've started booking flights even three months in advance. Yeah. That's great for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's really good for me. And it's such a life hack as well. Turns out, turns out, cheaper. Turns out they're cheaper. Turns out quite a lot cheaper if you're not booking the last seat on the plane. Who would have thought? Who would have thought? Who would have thought? I never knew.

I thought no shade to the hyper planners, no shade to the people who are uber organised. But are you one of those people listening to us this afternoon? Do you have something in your diary that is ages away? We're talking like a year more, something that's so far in the future, but you already have it completely organised. You already know where, when, what, how and how much. Exactly what it's going to be.

We would love to talk to someone that is that organised this afternoon. Does it bring you joy to know all of the details about what's happening in the future? God, I need to become friends with someone like that. Or are you in a relationship with one of those people? See, I feel like I am. Are you? To a certain extent, which is good because I'm so far the other way and then we kind of balance each other out.

This is how you could know. You and your partner recently did a trip around Europe together. Yeah. Was she a spreadsheet traveller? Full spreadsheet. You've got one of those people. Me? I said, I go, I'll just walk around Rome and find somewhere to eat on the day.

Exactly. That's me. The look on her face, she was like, absolutely not. Bree and Clint. I got a notification from Air New Zealand today to say that my flight, which is in April next year, has been moved by 10 minutes. 10 minutes. And I was like, really?

You think I'm that organised that I need to know about this? Someone from Air New Zealand has texted us and they said, yes, I work for Air New Zealand and I can confirm that they really do muck up people's plans, that 10-minute change. I believe we have that person on the phone. We do. Hello, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, how are you?

People care about a 10-minute change that's happening in three, four, five months' time. Yeah, yeah. A whole lot of reasons that it can muck up people's plans because it is an automated system. Oh yeah, I assume so. I didn't think it was Rob Fife or whoever's running that

place now sending me a personal text message. It's our mate Greg. Oh, Greg Foran. Sorry, my bad. Yeah, he's a good guy. His phone bill would be through the roof, Anonymous. It would be. Thank you. Massive. Okay, well, thank you for the pro tip. We appreciate it, Anonymous

Airline Insider. We will not reveal your information. Thanks, Anonymous. We appreciate you keeping us in the loop. Also, great eggs in the Coru Lounge, Clint said. Great, great scrambled eggs you guys are doing. Yeah, they know. I tell them regularly.

You give them that feedback quite often, eh? Imagine if you had a koru membership. It'd be so good. We are talking about hyper-organised people, people who have things planned crazy amounts in advance. And Emma, you qualify for that. Tell us about your trip. I planned my trip with my family 575

days in advance. What? That's like nearly two years in advance. I know and I've only got five weeks to go. Oh wait, so you're about to go on this trip that you had planned for 575 days. I sure am. Oh my god. And I can't wait. And because you were planned so far in advance, are you feeling like pretty chill about the whole thing now or is there more details that you feel like you could still plan out five weeks in advance?

No, everything's planned. There's nothing left to do. If anything changes, it's because I'd wish to make the trip longer. Emma, what if, because you've planned this like very far out, what if you say, you know, you plan it down to a T that you know which restaurants you're going to. What if one of those restaurants closed down? I'm not that fussed about if the restaurants closed down,

but if the cruise ship or anything burns down then there might be a bit of a problem then that's a bigger problem yeah okay well thanks Emma we appreciate it that's crazy to me

I mean I love it I wish I was that organised Emma's like I'm very good at this I would not book a restaurant which is planning to close down in the next three years but how does she know

I just know these things how does she know? I just know these things. How does she know? And then she goes, well, I'm going to need another 575 days to find a new place. Tracey, what have you got planned well in advance? An ex-work reunion, 22nd of November, 2025. Wait, so that's not next year. That's the year after. Yes, because it's the third event because we have such a great boozy old time.

So they were like, stick it on the calendar. But I can't even put it on Facebook as an event yet because you have to be a year out. Really? Oh, my God, I didn't know that. Can you book flights for something that's two years away? I'm not sure, but it's an Invercargill. People could drive. Oh, okay. So, Tracey, when you say ex-work reunion, is this all people that you used to work with?

Is that what it is? In the 80s and the 90s. First job, 85, Inland Revenue for my sins. That's so cool. I was on the social club for 13 years, so I know how to organise a party. Well, it sounds like you, Tracey, that you're on the social club. How often do you guys catch up?

Well, we've caught up twice in the last six, seven years, and sadly, one of our ex-workmates passed away recently, and at the aftermatch, we were like, we can't wait every five years. Yeah, we can't just meet at funerals.

Good on you, Tracey. That's awesome. You keep organising everyone, Trace. I need a Tracey in my life, although I think I do with my wife. Someone said, we're talking about hyper-organised people, and someone said not to throw my girl under the bus, but she has our whole wedding planned, and I haven't even proposed to her yet. That's pretty normal.

Is it? Yeah. Like, to be honest, a lot of women have their wedding planned. It's not necessarily with you in it, but we can change the groom in and out. The groom is interchangeable.

Yeah, right. But a lot of women have a lot of stuff planned for their wedding before they're even getting proposed to. Really? Yes! Really? Of course. Like, I know what flowers I want at my wedding. Breeza, I've already booked the catering. Well, I haven't booked it.

I know which one I want. Bree and Clint. It's time to play Google Down. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down. Punk. Here we go.

The game where we find out who is the fastest Googler. And if you've backed the winner, if you've texted their name to 9696 and we've picked you out from the bunch, you could be taking home 50 KFC chicken dollars. Here are the rules. The game is between Clint, Claudia and Ella. I've put these questions into Google. I'm looking for the most common answer that comes up for each question.

Yell it out correctly, you get a point. First of three wins. Oosh la boosh. Let's do it. Here we go. Question number one. What year was the movie The Grinch released? 1966.

God, Ella is correct. That is the answer. And technically Claudia's correct, but under the rules of the game Ella gets the point. Under the rules of the game. There's been three Grinch movies, it says. Yeah, it wasn't the original. The same as like The Parent Trap, not the original.

Ella won last week, so I can't let her win again. Come on, Claude, you've got it. Here we go, question number two. How many members were there in the band the Pussycat Dolls? Six. It was six. Oh, nice. Stop Googling.

Straight from the top of the dome. Yep. Big, big Pussycat Dolls fan. One to Ella, one to Clint. Question number three. Do you want to see how many I can name? Nicole. That's it, isn't it?

Yep. That's the band. They only let her sing. They didn't let the other ones sing. It was stupid. The other ones were so keen as well. Question number four. In what year did they release

the toy the Cabbage Patch doll? 82. 1983. God, Claudia's come back with a stalker there. 1982 is correct

and she gets the point. Question number four. We are one apiece. How much is Nike worth in 2023? $175.64 billion. $175.2.8 billion. Wait, what did you say, Ella? $161.81 billion.

Ella's correct. What? $161 billion is what I had when putting that question into Google. I was obviously looking at their most recent market capitalisation. That means Ella, you're on two. Thank you. Claudia's on one. Clint's on one.

I don't like this. Everyone's still in the game. Is Claudia only on one? Yeah. Oh, no. We need a Christmas miracle to come back from this. We do need a Christmas miracle. I know.

Sorry, I'm so stressed. Here we go. How many users are there on the platform TikTok? 1.1 billion. What did you say? 1.1 billion. That's not what I got. Oh, what?

1 billion. Everyone's back in. What? 1.5 billion. Really? Nothing. I don't have... 1.677 billion.

Correct. What? Where did we find that? That was the exact answer to the question that Brie asks. Oh, true. That is the exact answer. And Clint is on the board with another. He's on two.

Isn't it amazing that you can Google how many users the TikTok have and you get an answer but then you can Google how many users does the platform TikTok have

and it changes the answer. Yeah, that's weird, eh? What is the truth? That's the problem with this age of information and disinformation, isn't it? Isn't it?

That was deep. You've lost me. Are you alright? Do you want to keep playing? Yes. Or do you want to keep going on? And here's another thing. Your philosophical rant about something.

Take a podcast, move on. And another thing about philosophy. Okay, two to Clint, two to Ella, one to Claude. That should never happen, Claude. Everyone's still in. What date should you be putting up your Christmas tree this year? What date? 1st of December

Yeah, Christmas Eve December 3rd Clint takes out the game That is the exact answer to that question Which means Neil, you are taking home 50 KFC chicken dollars Neil, what a game.

Oh, you're the boy. Were you on the NGSC with me? That was a wild ride. I was. I was impressed, Clint. Good on you. Thank you, mate. I appreciate it.

I am really torn because that is the song I want to win, but it's Anita's birthday today. I know. Anita did say that she was already having a great day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's got that T-shirt with the cats on it. I'm going to let Anita choose for me. Okay, very diplomatic.

of birthday banger for Hannah from the year 2001. We've just received a text message from Hannah as well. She says, Hey, it's Hannah

from birthday banger. Dawn is now crying. Whoops. Obviously, she wanted One Republic. Obviously. Yeah, she's a big One Republic fan. Sorry. Sorry about it.

Hey, everyone has been talking about Macaulay Culkin because obviously we talk about him at this time of year because Home Alone is one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time. And people have also been talking about him because he recently, last week, got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Yeah. It was very cute. The ceremony was adorable. The woman who plays his mum in the film was there, gave a speech. He talked about his wife. It was very cute.

Yeah. Very, very cute. Very wholesome. Very wholesome. I saw an article today which was talking about how a lot of people were very shocked to hear what Macaulay Culkin's voice sounds like now as a 43-year-old. Okay.

Because you don't hear much from Macaulay Culkin. It's not like he still does a lot of acting stuff. He's not in many movies anymore. No. So we've got some audio here from the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. And this is Macaulay Culkin's voice as a 43-year-old. Thanks for having me. For all your kind words and your stories and stuff.

You made my kid's dad, their papa, look good. The most important thing to me is also that their papa understands that he wasn't always his papa. He also used to be a kid too, you know. What? Kinda sounds like Urkel.

You know? It sounds very young. Very young. Like super young. Like he's in some kind of time warp vortex thing. Buzzy, eh? Claudia, I don't know if you could do this rapid fire, but could you get some audio of Macaulay Culkin as a kid talking as well?

Oh, yeah, sure. Try and find that. Like some audio of him in Home Alone or Richie Rich or something like that. This is... Thanks for having me. This is not the voice of a 43-year-old man. Merry Christmas, you filthy animals. I think he says that at the end of his speech.

Does he really? Yeah. He goes in because it's around Christmas time. Merry Christmas, you filthy animals. His brother was really good. His brother's an actor as well. His brother. Kieran Culkin.

Yeah, Kieran Culkin. Really good in succession. Is the one that plays Fuller, the kid that wets his pants all the time. That's his brother in Home Alone. Oh, really? Yeah. Was his brother in Home Alone with him? Yes.

He's the cousin that they threatened that he has to sleep in the bed with him. That's Macaulay Culkin's actual brother in real life. I thought we could ask people because I find it quite interesting when people have a voice that doesn't necessarily match your age.

We get it a lot in birthday banging. You'll get someone come on and they're like, yeah, g'day. And we're like, what's your date of birth? And they're like, I'm 17'day. And we're like, what's your date of birth? And they're like, I'm 17 years old. And some people just have a really, you know, like older sounding voice. Or it can go the other way as well where we get people call up and obviously we can't see you guys so we just assume how old you are

and they sound like they're 12 but they're actually 40. The Macaulay Culkin effect. Yeah. We got some Macaulay Culkin as a kid. So you just heard him as a 43-year-old man. Thanks for having me. For all your kind words and your stories and stuff. You made my kid's dad, their papa, look good.

Okay, so that's now. This was Home Alone. I have five favorite words, five favorite phrases. Our lunch. It's a wrap. See you next Monday. See you next week, it's been nice working with you. It's different, but it's not massively different, is it? Nah, it's not that different.

0800 dials at M right now. I want you to call if you feel like your voice doesn't match your age. Yeah, you got a really young voice or a really old voice? Yeah, maybe people tell you this all the time, that your voice doesn't match your age? Yeah. You got a really young voice or a really old voice? Yeah. Maybe people tell you this all the time, that your voice doesn't match your age. 0800 dials at M right now. Does your voice not match

your age? Macaulay Culkin, everyone's talking about how his voice doesn't match his age after he was in the news last week getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He's 43 and this is what he sounds like. Thanks for having me.

For all your kind words and your stories and stuff. You made my kid's dad, their papa, look good. And the most important thing to me is also that their papa understands that he wasn't always his papa. He also used to be a kid too, you know? Sounds very young. You know. Very, very young.

He kind of sounds like Mickey Mouse. I reckon he sounds like Steve Urkel. Yeah. Or even a little bit of Kermit in there. He just doesn't sound 43. No. How old would you say, if you heard that voice, how old would you say?

I'd say that was like a 13. 12. 13 year old boy. Yeah. Yeah. Just that was like a 13- 12. 12. 13-year-old boy. Yeah. Yeah. Just before puberty. Maybe. Just like New Year's Eve, just before the big ball dropped.

So we're going to play a game with you. Are you someone where your voice doesn't match your age? We're going to try and guess how old you are after talking to you. Let's talk to Tess. Hi, Tess. Hi, how are you guys? We're good. Don't tell us how old you are, okay, Tess? I won't. Okay, what have you been up to today, Tess? I've just been chilling, just had a great therapy session and

yeah, I was on the road and then went to the mall and got some Christmas presents. Look, I'm not going to lie, you sound very young. Yes. But then there's a little bit of gravel on the back of the voice as well. Like you can hear this little rasp in there. There's a little bit of... That's glandular fever.

Okay. Glandular fever is a young person's condition as well, you know. It goes around the skulls. Yep. Tess. I know she's not young though. I know she's not young, though. I know she's not young. No, she could be.

I reckon Tess is... I reckon Tess is like 29. Do you? Yeah. I think she's 29 because she's smart enough that she's going to therapy because, you know, when you're really young, you're like, I'm not going to therapy, but by the time you get to 29, you're like, I'm going to go to therapy.

Tess sounds 17 to me, but I'm going to say she's 42. Tess? 29, lock it in. I'm 25. Whoa! I was the closest. I was saying in the text I sent, like, I sound young, but I also look young.

So when I was 22, I went to an R13 movie and they ID'd me. And then I gave them my full licence and the guy was so embarrassed. Tess, you're going to get ID'd for the rest of your life. And trust me, when you get into your 30s, you'll be so glad to hand it over. You'll be like, of course. Okay, thank you, Tess, the fully grown adult. Thank you for calling. Let's go to Michelle on our $100 a day.

Hi, Michelle. Hi, Michelle. Hi, guys. How are you? Good, thanks. What have you been up to today, Michelle? Well, I'm studying at the moment. So I did some study and I had a little morning tea at my daughter's school for just being

a parent helper. So some free food, which you can't go wrong with, I feel. And, yeah, now I'm at home about to have some dinner. Do you get told that your voice doesn't match your age? Yes, quite a lot. Okay. This one's throwing me off. I reckon Michelle's 32. Okay. This one's throwing me off. I reckon Michelle's 32.

Okay. I reckon Michelle... I reckon she's younger. I reckon she's 27. 27? Yeah. Young mum. Michelle, how old are you?

I feel like... Before I tell you, I feel like I gave it away when I see a daughter. Yeah, you did. I did. I tell you, I feel like I gave it away when I see a daughter. Yeah, you did. I did. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But I just turned 33. Yeah, see?

It was the daughter and the school, but that gave it away for me. But now that I know your age and I hear you, because I didn't think you sounded that young, but now, like, listening to you, I can hear it now. Okay, fine. Do you get told often that you sound really young? Very much so because I game a lot and I stream on Twitch. So none of my subs know what I look like.

So they always think I'm like a teenager or like in my 20s. And then they hear your kid in the background of the stream. They're like, what the hell's going on? That's my baby sister. Yeah, just between me and you guys, I'm hiding in the bathroom right now because my kids are following me all around the house. Hey, thanks, Michelle.

We appreciate the call. See you, Michelle. Thank you for going. There you go, everybody. You can never really, truly tell how old someone is just based off their voice. Thanks for having me. No, stop it, Macaulay Culkin.

No, that was him as a young kid. It's creeping me out, Macaulay Culkin. But thank you for coming. We appreciate it. Thanks for having me. No, Macaulay Culkin. Bree and Clint. I was talking with my partner last night and we were talking about the random situation that if you happen to be getting

into a relationship now, like at this exact time of year, and our opinions around do you have to buy that person a Christmas gift or not? Three weeks out from Christmas. So three weeks out from Christmas, you get into a relationship, it becomes official, do you have to buy them a Christmas gift? And I think there's actually another level to this. Aside from do you have to buy them a Christmas present, I think you actually have to ask, is it a bit weird to buy them a Christmas present?

Yeah, right. Is it a bit much for a relationship that's only three weeks old? And if you do, how hard do you go with the gift? Because they might not be getting you anything and that could create an awkward situation as well. This is a lot of thinking. Yeah, there's a lot of thinking. Producers, what do you think? Ella?

Well, Ryan and I, my boyfriend, when we first started dating, it was literally like end of December and Christmas was like a couple of days later. Yeah. And of course we got each other gifts. Yeah, but you guys are quite intense. What, really? Yeah.

You got together a couple of days before Christmas and then you got each other gifts. What, but you guys are quite intense. What? Really? Yeah. You got together a couple of days before Christmas and then you got each other gifts. What did you get? What was your gift? You don't even know the person that well yet. How do you know what to get them? Plants. Oh, yeah. I got him a plant. You knew each other before you were official. Kind of. Like, not really.

From afar. So I guess so, that's true. Wait, what do you mean from afar? You stalking him? I've been watching him. What are you doing? Ryan, if you're listening to this, run. I'm just kidding. What did he give you after a three week relationship?

Oh, I can't make me a book and another plant. It was very chill. I'll go out there and say that I 100% would get the person a gift. Would you? Yeah, I love buying gifts for people. So how hard would you go?

Not crazy hard, but I would definitely get them something. Is a plant all right? I wouldn't go and spend a heap of money, but I would get something. It's a thought. I think a plant is a good idea. It does kind of set the tone for how you mean to proceed. Like if you don't get them a Christmas present, but you are, are we official in this relationship?

Have we said like, hey, do you want to? Yeah, you're official. Do you want to put a label on this and be together? Yeah. Oh, you have to get them a gift. Yeah. Because otherwise it'd be like, are we going to couple? How come you didn't give me a Christmas present?

What if they get you something and then you don't get them something and then it could have been your forever relationship, but you trip yourself up because you didn't get them something. then it could have been your forever relationship but you trip yourself up because you didn't get them something. Let's go to the Auntie Ella. We call her Claudia in this situation. Are you getting them a gift? Three weeks together you're giving them a Christmas present? I do love giving gifts and I feel like

if you're officially together you obviously really like them. So yeah I probably would. Bullshit Claudia! I would. Bullshit! No I believe you. I would but I wouldn't expect anything back. Like, I wouldn't be like, oh, I can't believe they didn't get me anything. But if they did, then it's like, oh, my God, great. But if they didn't, it's like, well, three weeks.

Claudia is straight up the middle. What she says, she means. So I believe her. I see how it feels. Yeah, you do. What? You're one of the most honest, straight up the middle people I know. That's why I expected her to go, no, three weeks.

You haven't even proven yourself yet. Someone on the text machine said, we've had a no gift policy since our relationship started. Gifts are too hard. Yep, keeps things simple. I can appreciate that. Nah, that's not fun. I got my current partner a one month anniversary present.

Oh, okay. I did the wrong thing and I got her flowers and I didn't know she had hay fever. Oh, see? Well, you'd only been dating for a month, so these are all learning curves. One-month anniversary. Are you guys 16?

No, not anymore. I think it's cute. It is cute. Leave her alone. Because what if you never make it to the second month? Second month, this relationship's dead, just like those flowers. You're like, may as well celebrate the first one. It's not going to go any longer.

I just, I guess my hesitance is I'm always scared I'm going to come on too keen. Or your hesitance is you don't want to spend money where you don't have to. That too. Or that too. It's that time of year where everyone starts releasing their lists, people start putting out, you know, the top ten Netflix movies of 2023, all those type of lists. Spotify, Wrapped, everything like that.

Everything's coming out at this time of year and Time magazine is no different because it is that time of year where they have released the finalists for their Time Magazine's Person of the Year. I find Person of the Year really interesting because it's not always the best person of the year. No. It's just the person that kind of soaked up the most attention

in the year, isn't it? It's the person that has had the most influence on the world throughout the previous 12 months. And that can be good or it can be bad. Because Trump was person of the year. Around the time of his presidency, he was Time magazine person of the year. Yeah. Because how could he not be?

It's just the most influential person throughout the last 12 months. Some people that have been Time Magazine's Person of the Year, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Martin Luther King Jr., Pope Francis, Greta Thunberg, they've all been Time Magazine's Person of the Year. But do you want to hear who's making the list this year? Because did you know it also doesn't just have to be one person? It can be a group.

It can be a character. It can be like it's not just. It could be the Spanish women's football team. Exactly. Yeah, okay. Exactly. Okay, so let's go through the list. These are the finalists for 2023 Person of the Year.

The first one, the Hollywood Strikers. Okay. So everyone that was striking in Hollywood for the one, the Hollywood Strikers. Okay. So everyone that was striking in Hollywood for the past, I mean, however long. That feels very America-centric, like not world. Yeah, I mean, it's a pretty big deal. Yeah, sure. Pretty massive.

Yeah. Like it affects a lot of people. True. I did run out of shows to watch. Exactly. The Chinese president, and forgive me, I don't know how to pronounce his name. Xi Jinping. Xi Jinping.

He is on the list. Yeah. Another one that's on the list that I hadn't heard much about, a guy called Sam Altman. Do you know who that is? Yes. He's the guy who started OpenAI. He was like the CEO. So he's the who started OpenAI. He was like the CEO.

So he's the CEO of OpenAI. So his company released ChatGPT. So he is on the list. And he got fired from his own company. Yeah. Yeah. So he's on the list for time person of the year. Trump prosecutors are also on the list.

Oh, yeah. So obviously that was a big deal when he got prosecuted. But he's not in jail yet so they don't get it. Yeah. Barbie is on the list. Oh yeah. Which I am all for this one. Very influential this year. The Barbie movie was huge. I agree. I like the idea of giving it to Barbie because you could give it to Margot Robbie but it's not her. It's the idea of Barbie. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Vladimir Putin, the Russian president. He would have been on the list a bunch of times. I think he has been on the list quite a few times. And he would love it. Yeah. He would love it. King Charles III, obviously after decades waiting for the throne, he took a head position as head monarch of the United Kingdom.

So he's on the list. Jerome Powell, do you know who that is? No. He's in some big role in the US. Essentially, he managed the inflation and pretty much as a businessman where he was like pretty much dealing with the global economy. Okay, that's not going to sell Time Magazine, so it won't be him. No, and the last one, of course, who has made the list is Taylor Swift.

Yeah, see, now we're talking. Yeah. That's exciting. I'm keen for Taylor Swift or Barbie. Yeah. Either of those. That'd be a fun way to do it, wouldn't it? Yeah.

Anyway, they're the finalists for Time Magazine's Person of the Year. I believe it is announced tomorrow who will take out the 2023. Get Barbie on the cover. Yeah, that'd be cool. Make the magazine pink. That'd be very cool. Brie and Clint. We've got to go.

We've got to get home as fast as we possibly can, Brie, because tonight, right? Tonight? Was it yesterday? The finale. Wasn't it yesterday at three? The Squid Game. Wasn't it?

Have you watched it? I haven't watched it. You told me Wednesday at three. Did I? Yeah. Hold on, mate. Let me check. You told me it was coming out on Wednesday at three.

Let me check. Hold on, everyone. I thought I said Tuesday. Well, I know the other episodes came out on the Thursday. Yeah. Okay, hold on. Maybe it's not. Maybe it's not out yet.

I just don't want anyone to ruin it for me. There's one episode of the Squid Game Challenge thing on Netflix still to go. Yeah. Thursday at three is what I said. You know, you said Wednesday. No, I said four. You said... Hey, mate. You know all of this is recorded into a microphone.

Mate, you just said that it was yesterday, which was Tuesday. No, you're the one that's making me second guess myself. The other day, I said Thursday at 3pm, don't make Claudia go back on the tape. I'll bet you $100. Come on, $100. No, I don't care that much. No, come on. I'm so sure you said bucks. No, I don't care that much. No, come on. I'm so sure you

said Wednesday. Okay, then bet. You don't even know when to send Claudia to check. Okay, make up a bet then. What do you want to bet? You just want to have a bet? Yeah. Actually, now let's make Claudia find the audio. Yeah, let's. Okay, so what's the bet? What day? What time? I reckon it

probably was at the end of a show. Yeah, maybe the end of Monday's show. Monday's show. I reckon it was the end of Monday's show, Claude. time? I reckon it probably was at the end of a show. Yeah, maybe the end of Monday's show. Monday's show. I reckon it was end of Monday's show, Claude. Okay, I reckon you said Wednesday. Okay, I reckon I said Thursday. You said Wednesday at three. I reckon I said Thursday at three.

Okay. And what? A hundred bucks. A hundred bucks? You said a hundred bucks. Or should we make the other person like eat cat food or something? Do a squid game challenge. Loser has to jump through a sheet of glass.

Loser has to cut a little slit into their eyebrow like a rapper, a gangster rapper. Or cough up $100. So you have a choice. Okay, yeah, deal. Yeah, deal. Okay, deal. Wait, wait, wait.

Have we got it already? I think I have an answer. Hold on, wait. Hold on, wait. We're going to make the bet. Okay. Okay, deal. Wait, wait, wait. Have we got it already? I think I have an answer. Hold on, wait. Hold on, wait. We're going to make the bet. Okay. Okay. Deal.

Wait, what was the final bet? Shave your eyebrow or $100. No, no. Don't shave your eyebrow. I know. Shave a bit of your eyebrow. Have you got it, Claudia? I think I can play it for you.

Okay. Let me see. Okay. You ready? I'm so interested. This has got so much more heated than I ever expected it to. This is kind of like Squid Game. Yeah.

Good luck, everyone. Okay, Squid Game. Good luck, everyone. Okay, good luck. Good luck, everyone. Good luck, everybody. Man, I wish they would release the last episode of that Squid Game show already. Thursday, 3pm, New Zealand time. Yes! It's going to get released.
