The ZM Podcast Network Hello everybody and welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast where I would like to ask Who got me for Secret Santa? Who got me for Secret Santa? No, we're not talking about this anymore Okay, the person who has me for Secret Santa Ready, we should all just say, and let's all try and convince him that it was oh like an i'm spartacus situation ourselves right yeah okay who got me for secret santa

oh this is good oh this is like would i lie to you brie did you get me for secret santa um look you've already ruined it and to be honest i'm pretty devastated but i actually did get you for secret santa i reckon she's trying to be really honest to make me think that she's lying but she's actually telling the truth so she does have me for secret santa ben did you get me for secret santa yeah i did why uh because why because i've i've got some gift suggestions is the reason i brought this up i've got a suggestion that's not not how Secret Santa works. How will you know what I want?

I have you for Secret Santa and I've already bought you gifts. Awkward. So just don't ask for any suggestions because- This is what I sent you last night. What did you send me last night? The book. Oh, I do want that. No, I've got him for Secret Santa.

Do you want some suggestions? Yeah, I actually have you. No, I have a suggestion. I Santa. Do you want some suggestions? Yeah, I actually have you. No, I have a suggestion. I want the Dan Carter coffee table book. And I haven't bought your prison yet. What do you want? I want the Dan Carter coffee table book. But I was actually going to put it out there.

There's actually a rugby jersey. How much is it? Oh, I think it's like... Oh, it wouldn't be above $100. It's not above $100. If a book is above $100, it better be a bloody good book. But it's a big coffee table book. I know, but it better be bloody good for our secret santa i should never ask there is no price you spend what you feel like is it like like a hundred dollar vibes

or like you spend what you use no this is and this is annoying when someone says this to you you spend what you think is appropriate what you think they deserve what they deserve, how much did everyone spend last year? I spent 80 bucks. I don't remember who I got last year. You spent heaps on me. I spent quite a bit on stage. You spent like those things.

Oh, you got into those shoes. Yeah, I panicked and I couldn't think of really anything else and I really wanted to get those. I thought the thing was like 80 bucks. I think the shoes are about two something. If you spent 80 bucks, that's bucks. I think the shoes are about two something. If you've been 80 bucks, that's plenty. I think 80 is plenty.

It's relative as well. I mean, if you've got me, I've spent more on you because I've got you. Well, I've already bought Clint his gift. Still going with this. And it's definitely not 100 bucks. I found a rugby jersey on Trade Me that I want. But I can't buy it for myself. Why can't you? Why not?

How much is it? So I was wondering if... No, you're not throwing us under the bus. I know for a fact, because I actually have you for Secret Santa, I'm not getting you that jersey. And then your wife Lucy goes, who got you that? And you go, oh, Bree got me this Secret Santa. She won't care if someone else buys it.

She doesn't want me to buy another one. And then I'll be on her bad list. She just doesn't want me to wear them. Yeah, you don't need any more rugby jerseys. I've got an idea. It's really expensive. How much is it? So I don't expect one person to buy it for me.

What if we all get each other a present? What if we all get everybody presents? What are we doing? No, everybody. So I'll buy three presents. You buy three presents. You already have to buy three presents after your little escapade. What kind of jersey is it?

It's a vintage Chiefs rugby jersey. But it's $500. But if you guys all want a chip, I'll throw in some money too. Do you know how much a junior radio producer earns? Who is spending $500 on a Chiefs vintage jersey? No one. That's why it's been on Trade Me for months. Exactly.

So I have to sell a top yesterday to afford my dad's Mitre 10 voucher. Leafs of vintage juice. No one. That's why it's been on Trade Me for months. Exactly. So offer them 50 bucks and be done with it. I had to sell a top yesterday to afford my dad's minor tin voucher. You know my friend cut open an onion the other day and it looked like it was smiling inside, so he put it on Marketplace and someone bid 100 bucks for it. No. They won't pay up. No, they probably won't.

They won't pay up. It was funny content. Yeah, that was like the time we sold you a garlic bread. Oh, my God, my dears blew up. And the pizza. And the pizza, yeah. It was a good time. Something special about that?

You want money towards... Because you couldn't get it here in Auckland slash the whole country. That's right. You couldn't get takeaways. And I'd bought takeaways the night before they closed everything down for level four. And then three days later, we put it on trade beat. The jersey's gone. Is it gone?

It's gone. Thanks a lot, guys. You ruined Christmas. I thought you just want like lotto tickets. Is that what you like? Thanks a lot, you guys. I'd love a lotto ticket. Yeah, that'd be fun.

I'd get Clint some nipple covers. Yeah, he does need those. Some shields. Some of those winter's days. It's like puts him away. Because I never knew this since working here, but men, when they go running, can get quite raw nipples.

Yeah, they bleed. They can bleed. I never knew that. That's gross. It's ultra painful. It's incredibly painful. And that's why Clint doesn't run. No, I barely have nipples.

You guys want to hear about my dog's nipples? This is actually a fun fact. So, you know, I saw this post on Facebook, which is quite interesting, and I don't know if it's true or not, but it was a post where it was two Labradors, and I think they were about four years old, and they were from the same litter, and they're both male Labradors, right? So on one side, the Labrador on the left had been spayed or de-sexed when he was like six months old.

So before he was fully mature. Yeah. And the Labrador on the other side got de-sexed when he was like two years old. So after he was fully mature. Got it. You should see how different. Their nipples look. Well, not just that, but like how different the dogs look

because one dog still kind of looks like, you know, he's quite small and still kind of looks like a puppy and the other one's like, oh, I'm a man dog. Yeah, yeah. That's what testosterone does for you. And it's interesting because I have the same dog as a friend of mine. She has two of the exact same dog and she got her dog spayed like quite early

and Whitney's still not spayed. We're looking into it. We were meant to book her in recently. Anyway, Whitney's got giant nipples and her dogs just have dots. They're not even like – Oh, my God. They're not even raised or like anything. They're literally just like a black dot.

You might not know the answer to this, but if you do, are your dog's large nipples, are they an erogenous zone for her? That's a really good question. I don't get it. There's nothing to get. Does your dog derive

pleasure from the nipple region? No, you shouldn't be doing that to your dog. No. Well, I'm just wondering. Because for dogs, nipples are survival. A lot of women get a lot of pleasure from their nipple area. A lot of women don't, though, too. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Did you know that? A lot of women, you know, I think more do not touch my double A bear eyes. Did you actually not know that? Did you know a lot of women, most women, can't feel anything? That's true. Most doesn't feel anything. But here's a fun fact.

Most women also are quite good at pretending. That is very true. Which is so confusing. But, lads, here's a bit of advice. Ask. Ask. Because most women, when you're having go at time. I like how Ben knew the advice. Yeah, that's such good advice, Ben.

Ben's good at this stuff. Very good. Remember that? He skirled the time how long it took a woman to... Yeah, okay, Anastasia. Okay, well why did you bring that up? Well, no, Ben knows the stuff. But yeah, that is a fun fact. Most women can't feel anything. Is that the same for you guys? No, mine

um... Oh, here we go. No for you guys? No mine Oh here we go This is not a joke Here we go Mine send a wave of sadness through my body It's an out of bounds area And I've had to discuss it with my wife Yeah I get this I get this

I get this I have to be in the same room as this freak Well don't touch them When they get stimulated If someone rubs them, I get this overwhelming feeling of sadness. This is so weird. Yeah, yeah.

Well, we'll wrap it up. She doesn't know about the dog. That's all I really wanted to know, so we'll wrap it up. Yeah, it's fucking weird. It is. It is, but... But everyone's different. We're all different.

Yeah. I'm trying to think if I get, like, I understand what you mean. No, you won't. If you did, you would know. But it's like... No, I get Like I understand what you mean No you won't If you did you would know But it's like No I feel like I do And when I say wave It travels down my body

Like Like a sensation I feel like I know what you mean And something does it to me But now I can't remember what it is But I know what you mean It's like a weird feeling It's kind of like a

It's tingly but it's not nice It's kind of like where you Not a shiver No there's too much Not a shiver No But kind of that feeling It's a wave That a... It's tingly, but it's not nice. It's kind of like where you... Not a shiver. I don't like... No, there's too much. Not a shiver, but kind of that feeling... It's a wave. That that shiver gives you, but the wave afterwards. Well, I get it when people stimulate my nipple region.

That's why I'm getting you the nipple covers. Great Secret Santa gift. Cover those babies up. There you go. Full circle. There you go. There you go. That's the music. That's wrapping us up.

Bye, everybody. Enjoy the podcast. Bye. Hey, Google, what's the time? It's 3 p.m. Give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.

Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Quentin? Brie and Clinton are on air in five, four, three, two, one. Well, hello everybody.

I can't do that, the Mrs Doubtfire one. Oh yeah. I can't get high enough. Well, hello. Well, hello.

Yeah. Toot-a-loo. That's the part where he slams his head into that cake. That's right. He's trying to hide from the lady and the mask gets run over and he comes back out and he's like, Such a good movie.

Such a good movie. Guys, I've got something to ask of the team slash people listening. I had disaster strike me today at home. Yeah. I'd purchased a pair of shorts that I'd been wanting for about three months and I thought I'm going to buy myself a Christmas present. More bike shorts? You still on the bike shorts tip? No, not at the moment.

These are more dress kind of shorts. They weren't cheap. Oh, yeah, like some culottes. No, just shorts. Oh, yeah. Not culottes. A skort. No, no, just a pair of shorts.

Just a pair of linen shorts. A pair of Von Zipper board shorts. No, no, no. We all had those, though. Just a pair of nice shorts and A pair of Von Zipper board shorts. No, no, no. We all had those though. Just a pair of nice shorts and I was so stoked they arrived today and I opened them and they've left the security tag on it. Okay, so you want advice on how to get it off? Yes, does anyone have a machine at home?

Oh, okay. Oh, yeah, that would do it. Well, how do you get it off? Does anyone have a hack? There's no hacks. I've done this before. Remember my wife's jersey came and Yeah, that would do it. Well, how do you get it off? Does anyone have a hack? There's no hacks. I've done this before. Remember my wife's jersey came and it had that tag on it? What did you guys end up doing? Had to take it back to the shop.

Because you can do it, but you'll probably damage the item and then they won't take it back. They're expensive and I don't want to do that because I've been waiting for them for so long and then I was like, so annoying. It's such a pain in the ass and it's all their fault and all they'll do is go, oh yep,

we'll send you a courier label, send it back to us. Send it back. It just takes so long. You're ready to get the pins out now. The one thing I was looking forward to. I was so devo. You know what you could do? You could buy another pair today. And send those back. And then return the other ones and

say I want a refund. Right. So then we don't have to do the... Then you don't have to wait for them to receive it and then it'll probably save you a couple of days. Yeah. Yeah but That's not a bad idea. It's quite a good hack actually. Yeah I might email them. They'll probably say oh send it back to us. They'll probably be sold out

now. Probably. Yeah that'll be it too. We're too busy. Call us after Crossballs. If anyone's got some bolt cutters, let a girl know. Today on the show, you had a chance to share or steal 200 litres of Zed fuel at 4 o'clock. This game's going crazy.

Bree and Clint. See you then, Bree and Clint. Bye, Ross. Good to see you, Ross. Good to see you, Ross Boss. Good to see you. First time we've seen him. You know, I've always you, Ross. Good to see you, Ross Boss. Good to see you. First time we've seen him. You know, I've always thought, because you know how he's salt and pepper,

I always had this suspicion where I feel like he's the real-life Tim Allen. Ross is the real-life Tim Allen. And he turns into Santa Claus around Christmastime and then he goes back to normal person so he can live around, you know. But that would require all his grey hairs disappearing outside of Christmas. I know, but I feel like that's a thing. If he's secretly Santa, he's doing a shit job of hiding it. The problem is, you're talking about my stomach, aren't you?

No, I'm not. My son walked up to me the other day and went, you're fat. We weren't talking about your tummy. Merry Christmas, everyone. We weren't. We weren't. Oh, you can tell nothing's changed. See, he doesn't get jolly until, you know, a couple of days before Christmas.

Come here, we'll rub your belly. Come on. He tries to be extra grumpy to throw us off the scent, but it's not working. I know who you are. I know who you are. Speaking of Christmas, I read this interesting article today, which, I mean, rubbed me the wrong way a little bit, because it's from The Herald, and it was an opinion piece

by a woman, a journalist named Nicola Alp, and she was talking about what she thinks is the ultimate gift-giving strategy for 2021. Oh, this is good. This is helpful. Yeah, this is what people should be doing, she says, in 2021. Yep. She says the best way to go this year

vouchers. Yes, Nicola, gift card, gift card, let me buy what I want. And if you know me, I'm not a fan of a gift card. Passionately, notoriously anti-gift card. I just not a fan of a gift card. Passionately. Notoriously anti-gift card.

I just think it's a really like underwhelming present. You think it lacks thought. Thought, eh? Yeah. Whereas in actual fact, if you knew me at all, you would know that I don't want you to choose my present. No, like. I want you to give me the gift of the ability to buy whatever the hell I want a great present buyer so you are you are quite good but not everybody is yeah but and

so i get it the people that you know don't like present buying but then maybe that means you should work a little bit harder yeah but it's no guarantee it's no guarantee that you're going to nail it i think gift card and i know and you're entitled to your opinion but i would like the opportunity to change your mind i think gift card is the efficient know you're entitled to your opinion, but I'd like the opportunity to change your mind. I think gift card is the efficient option because there is no – I'd rather cash. Cash is incredibly efficient. This is my argument.

In terms of gift card or cash, like if you're not good at buying gifts and you're like, oh, I'd rather just give them a gift card, I'd rather the cash because that way cash is like a gift card except I can spend it wherever I want. But, okay, what if I know for a fact that you love to go to a certain store and I go, she goes there all the time so I get you a gift card for that. Like what if I got you a peaches and cream gift card?

That is my favourite. Love strawberries. No, but you know what I mean? Like if you can't, really can't think of anything, give me cash and a card. I'd rather that. Really?

Yeah, because you're narrowing it down. So you think that cash is less thoughtless than a gift card? No, I think both are thoughtless. But if you're in that position where you're panicking, I'd rather the cash

because then I can spend it literally on whatever. You're telling me, here's some money, but you can only spend it at this store within this amount of time because they expire. You're framing it negatively. I'm saying I want you to enjoy yourself at this place. I think you would like something from here. Then why don't you just pick something out from that place?

If you've already narrowed it down to that place, just go in. Yeah, fair enough. Narrow it down, pick something out, you know? I feel like a gift card, I just, I really love buying people gifts and putting in thought and effort, but then maybe I just need to realise that it's not for everyone, it can be stressful, but just don't buy me a gift card. Personal one, and I know you feel like this,

and I was conscious of that when I proposed it. Why did you allow us to purchase Anastasia a gift card for her birthday? Because. Because it was a three-way gift. You were involved in the gifting of that. Yeah, so it's not just me. So you obviously have to compromise with other people. Yes.

And I didn't want to be difficult. And I know for a fact she doesn't hate gift cards. Right, okay. I don't like gift cards,. And I know for a fact she doesn't hate gift cards. Right, okay. I don't like gift cards, but if someone else doesn't mind them, I mean, I'm not going to personally buy myself, buy her one. But it was a group thing. Don't want to be difficult. That's fine with me.

Anastasia, did you enjoy your gift card that you received? Gift card was spot on. Best store, best gift card, best amount of money. I'm stoked. Have you spent it? Not yet. Huh? Because I have my birthday on the weekend. Just keep in mind

it does expire, so just keep that in mind. Whereas cash, unless you burn it, it's good for a long time until they change the currency. We both feel passionate about it until they change the currency. Until we go to the Euro. Exactly. Cash is good to go. I mean, quite a long time. We both feel passionately about this.

I think you could be convinced. Go on. I want people to convince me. I hate gift cards. I hate the gift card. Someone convince me otherwise. Call us on 0800-DIAL-ZM and convince Bree why this article is right and gift cards are the best gift to give in 2021.

It's in the name. Gift cards. Yeah, it's so simple and basic. Plead your case. Give us a call. Bree and Clint. Convince old Grinchy Pants that the Christmas present du jour is a gift card. I would argue that I'm not Grinchy Pants because what I'm saying is I like to put more thought and effort into my gifts.

Oh, I see. Okay. That's what I, well, that's my argument. Good spin. I just don't like a gift card. I know you don't like a gift card. I never have. I think they're very, they're just not a personal gift.

I think you should embrace the convenience of it and the thoughtfulness of a gift card. And that's why I've recruited a group of people to convince you that gift cards are the best Christmas present. James is here. Hi, James. Merry Christmas, James. Merry Christmas, Bree.

I think gift cards are an excellent idea, particularly when they've got a dual purpose. So one, you get it all gift, but the other thing is I think they should be used for restaurants and cafes, particularly in Auckland where they've been locked down so long and they're doing it tough. Ah.

They're going into their business. Yeah. People going into their business, spending money, keeping people's jobs going. Yeah, Brie, reinvigorate the local economy. I mean, I can easily do that with cash in a card, too. Cash in a card. I just want to read out a few texts coming through on the text machine.

Sure, yeah. Someone has said, I feel like this is a very strong argument, gift cards are not a gift. They expire and you have no idea how much these companies make out of them. $50 gift card and if you make a purchase of $49.80, guess where the rest of the money goes? Yeah, but I'm not against companies making a profit. I know, but, you know, we deserve the truth.

Caitlin's here. Hi, Caitlin. Hi, Caitlin. Hi, Caitlin. Hiya. Tell us. Tell us why gift cards are the best Christmas present this Christmas. Brie, have you ever received a gift that you don't like? Absolutely.

Would that happen with a gift card if you could then choose what you wanted? Like, probably not, but have, I'm going to say, Caitlin, I'll just, I'll argue that with I've definitely bought stuff that I didn't necessarily want or need, but because I had the gift card, I had to spend it within the 12-month timeframe. Fair enough. Would you prefer a gift card to get your nails done or would you prefer your friend to botch your nails for you?

You've got a good point, Caitlin. You've got a very good point. Let's talk to MT. G'day, MT. Hi, MT. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks. Why should I change my mind about gift cards?

Oh, no, you shouldn't. I'm so on your side. Oh, yes, MT. Come on, MT. Come on over. It's a good gift. I'll give you a gift card, MT. Come on over. It's a good gift. I'll give you a gift card. You get whatever you want.

It's a crappy gift. No, just give me the money and I can buy what I want, if it's that bad. But, I mean, the gift card, you've then got to buy from that shop. And then if you don't spend the exact amount, then the company that produces the cards gets the rest of the money. I mean, you've got a great point. We'll spend all the money that we give you then. That's my argument.

Because then you're spending more than what you wanted. So somebody gave you a $50 card. Then I've given you a discount for Christmas. That's what I've effectively given you. Yeah, that's exactly what you've done. Someone else said on the text machine, gift cards are for gifters who simply can't be bothered to consider what, pound the shops, listen for tips.

They're just always there and you can pick one up. It's been a hard year, okay? Give us a break. We just want to get your bloody gift card. Give it to you and you can show up. Someone else said gift cards are bad for the environment. No. Gift cards are good for the environment because you're not buying crappy gifts. It's plastic.

There's so much support on the text machine and really good arguments. I love it. Britt, pro gift cards or anti-gift cards? Very pro. I do must, I must say though, Brie, I do, there is a bit of a stink, you know, when you open a gift and it's just a piece of plastic and you're like, cool, what do I do? No, there's nothing cool to play with or like, you know. So, in saying that, so what I'm doing for my wife this year is I've got her a couple

of presents, but I'm doing essentially gift hard scavenger hunt. So I'm just sort of going to origami it so she'll open a piece of paper and it'll be a Starbucks voucher. She'll start her day

shopping for shopping day. Start her day shopping at gift Starbucks and then the next slide over will be you know a clothing store

Glassons and the next one over will be the food court something to go eat for lunch and the next one so I think she's going to be a bit more creative with it.

Brett, let me just say, very cute, one. Very thoughtful. Two, I don't know if anyone else is thinking that creatively at the moment. We're all so drained, but I love that. But Brett has proven that gift cards can be thoughtful. But you know why I think that I would be around that gift, if it was a gift card? Because it's the thought you put into everything else. So I'd

be fine with that. So did Brett convince you that gift cards could be a good gift this Christmas? A little bit. Yeah, good work, Brett. Nice work, Brett. Very well done. Merry Christmas. Very well done. Bree and Clint. But first... From iHeartRadio, this is

The Latest. Remember Josh Hartnett? Oh, do I remember him? He was on all my school books, on my walls. He was it. He was the it boy. In the early 2000s, they were the thing. He was the other guy in Pearl Harbour. Yes.

With Ben Affleck. He was in Black Hawk Down. He was in Black Hawk Down. And if you don't know the main movie that people would remember him from, 40 Days and 40 Nights. Nights. Yeah, that's it. You don't know the movie?

Okay, what happens in that movie? Well, they meet up for 40 days and they decide, let's do the nights as well. I think, okay, I think you should do what he did for 40 Days and 40 Nights. Deal? I should do it? Yeah. I mean, if you've seen the movie.

I've got a feeling I'm already doing it. No, you should do it. Okay. Say yes? Yeah. Okay, good. We'll tell you what it is after this. Well, Josh Hartnett has revealed what happened to him

because he was everywhere and then he just disappeared. First of all, before I tell you why, this is what the movies he sort of bailed on. He was in line to be in Brokeback Mountain, except it wasn't going to be Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger. It was going to be Josh Hartnett and Joaquin Phoenix. That would have been great. He said, I've always wanted to kiss Joaquin Phoenix, so that's my biggest regret. Good comedy.

Love that. He also turned down a three-movie deal to play Superman, which is huge. That's one of the biggest roles in Hollywood for a man. And he also was in talks with... Can you imagine how much money that would be? Yeah, he was in talks with Chris Nolan to do Batman, to be Batman. Yeah, I mean, he was on that track, wasn't he?

He was the hottest thing at the time. They eventually cast Christian Bale as arguably the best Batman ever, and that could have been Josh Hartnett. So why did he drop out? He said this, and I think this is really interesting. He said, They had all the power. He also said, you were at the mercy of journalists and unless you played that game very cleverly, they could say what they wanted about you. They had all the power.

He also said, I was pretty young to be playing it clever, so I would have found myself at the darker end of that spectrum where you'd have people talking about what you do on a moment-to-moment basis in a non-flattering way and I was not interested in having that be my life.

So what he was saying is, he was going to say something dumb, so he got out before he did that. Possibly. Either way, he's made the right decision for himself, and even though he's given up all the trappings of fame, it shows that he was quite a switched-on guy even way back then. Absolutely.

He was a great actor. Do you want to know now what you're doing? Yeah, 40 Days and 40 Nights. Because you agreed to this. You've definitely seen the movie. I said you should do what he did in the movie, 40 Days and 40 nights. Because you agreed to this. You've definitely seen the movie. I said you should do what he did in the movie, 40 days and 40 nights. So Clint, I can announce, will vow to stay celibate for 40 days and 40 nights of Lent. Lent?

That's what it was about. An Easter. That means nothing. Right, well, Easter's a long way away. Nothing. Good luck. Wait, nothing, nothing? Like, nothing. Nothing. Good luck. Wait, nothing, nothing? Like, nothing.

What about? Nothing. Oh, not even that? No. I think that's why Josh Hartman had to go bye-byes, because he got sick. Prince William. Has he shaved his hair yet?

Yes. Has he? Yeah, yeah. No, has he? Yeah. Like, so he's fully bald now? he? Yeah, yeah. No, has he? Yeah. Like, so he's fully bald now? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, he's shaved off the sides?

Yeah, he's run like a number one around the sides. Oh. Like, it's short. It's short, short. He's leaned into it. Right. He's bald bald. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. He should have done it ages ago and then none of us would have known. Harry's next. Although he's in Hollywood now, he might, you know, he might get the plugs. Yeah, something. There's heaps of good options. Get the Simon Cowell going on. There's heaps of good options. Get the Simon Cowell going on.

Does Simon Cowell have one? Yeah. Does he? Yeah. I usually am very good at picking those things. I'm pretty sure he's running a rug. I've never thought that about him, but you could be right. I need to Google that. I'll Google it after this.

Do it after this. I want to tell you right now what Prince William's favourite song is. Okay. Okay. He's done an interview where he's revealed it and you'd think, oh. Bit of whap. No, I was going to say. He loves it. Cardi B, big fan. I was going to say

old and stuffy, like boring. Oh, now if I know Prince Willie. You reckon he's from the bottom to the top, likes that. Yep, loves it. Well, it's not that. Imagine if it was. Prince William has revealed that his favourite song, what he

likes better than anything else, is getting down to a bit of ACDC. That's awesome. I love that. Can you imagine this in the palace? He's put the crown on. Lizzie's not there and he's put the crown on and he's like, yeah. No. He's put the crown on. Lizzy's not there and he's put the crown on

and he's like, yeah. Let's get it. Rock on, baby. So, yeah, big surprise. Yeah, that is surprising. He's quite a varied guy. I thought we could have a look at his... I've got his top five songs here, actually.

Okay. So, in no particular order, obviously ACDC, Thunderstruck. Loves it. Great song choice. He's a big fan of Queen.

Don't read too much into the title of the song, okay? He loves Queen. Right, right. Is he sending a message? This was actually Harry's favourite Queen song. Well, this was obviously from a couple of years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because he's fallen in love. What else is on this definitely Well, this was obviously from a couple of years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because he's fallen in love. What else is on this definitely real Prince William playlist? He likes Kings of Leon. But I mean, who doesn't? Who doesn't, right? Great song. Oh, I just realised he's in line to be the next, well, the king. He's going to be king.

Oh, and he likes, well, that's a coincidence, isn't it? This is Prince William's song. Get the rest of your gags out. What else have you got? Just a couple more. Not gags, by the way, not the gags. I mean, sorry, the definitely real songs on the playlist. He really likes Jessie J. I'm feeling sexy and free.

What is your guys' obsession with replaying this? This is from so long ago. There's not even a queen or royalty joke in this. I mean, fantastic. We like this. It's Jizzy J, Breeze Vision. That was a good note there. Did you hear that?

Yeah, it was a good note. Yeah, that's why he liked it. And obviously... Oh, what's the last one? This better be good. He really likes... I feel like I've got deja vu from last week. You better be able to top it.

It's not deja vu. It's the other Olivia Rodrigo song. Driver's Licence, but he likes Breeze Vision. Got my driver's licence last week. Are you literally... Just recycling. but he likes breeze fishing. Are you literally just recycling the same gags from last week? It's the end of the year. Fair enough. No, no more.

After this year, these two songs don't get played on our show anymore, me singing them. What if they come up in more lists? What if more celebrities force them? If they come up in real lists. This was a real list. This is a real list. Totally real. This is Share or Steal with Z Energy ShareTank. You can find the lowest fuel price and choose to use it when you want to with Share Tank Fuel.

I love doing that. And then you feel like, you know, you're getting the best bang for your buck. Totally. You can get the best bang for your buck this afternoon if you decide to steal 200 litres of fuel off the other person. That's right. But it is up to these two people that are on the phones right now. Hi, Mindy. Hi. Your competition is here too. Hi, Ella. But it is up to these two people that are on the phones right now. Hi, Mindy. Hi.

Your competition is here too. Hi, Ella. G'day, Ella. Hi. Before you guys tell us, and don't tell us right now because we need to put you guys into the cone of silence

so you can't hear each other. Mindy, do you already know whether you're going to share or steal? Yep. You know. Okay. You know what you want to do. And Ella, do you know?

Yes. Okay, cool. Is there anything you guys want to say to each other before we go into the cone of silence? No And Ella, do you know? Yes. Okay, cool. Is there anything you guys want to say to each other before we go into the cone of silence? No, no, no, no, no. That is not the game. That is not the game. No one gets to talk.

I love how... No, Clint. Okay, who wants to go first then? Does it really matter? Ella, you want to go first? Yeah. Okay, cool. Mindy, we're going to put you into the cone of silence.

You're not going to hear anything. And we'll come back to you. That means Ella getting them to ask each other questions. Well, you know, who knows? They're going to be like, what do you want to do? And then Mindy goes, I'm going to, I'll share. No, that's not one of the questions. That's not one of the questions. Ella, okay, are you with us? Yep. Okay.

Alright, Ella, when you're ready, tell us do you want to share the fuel or do you want to steal the whole lot? Importantly, Mindy can't hear you right now. Whatever you say, she won't hear. Okay, I want to share it. You want to share it, you want to take 100 litres each. You know what, I felt that vibe from you that you were going to share it.

You just had that kind of sharing vibe. And you're aware that if Mindy says steal, she'll take the whole lot and you get nothing. That's fine. Oh, well, that's just what it needs to be, right? Oh, I like your attitude, Ella. That's nice. Let's see. Let's hope she might share it with you as well. I hope so.

Stay with us. You can stay on the line. You just need to be quiet, okay? Don't say anything. Mindy's back. Hi, Mindy. Hi, Mindy. Hi. We've got Ella's answer. We know what she wants to do. Without hearing hers, would you like to share or steal the Zed fuel? Sorry if you went share, Ella, but I'm going to steal.

Oh, no. Oh, ruthless. You decided to share, which means, Mindy, you get the 200 litres to yourself. Awesome. I'm sorry, Ella. Ah, you've got the guilt now, don't you? That's all good. A little bit, but I can't complain with 200 litres.

Well, no, you're sitting pretty. You're all good. At the end of the day, you've got to stay strong in your decision, and she has picked up the whole 200 litres. Well done, Mindy. We're going to get that out to you for summer. And, Ella, good on you for playing the in your decision, and she has picked up the whole 200 litres. Well done, Mindy. We're going to get that out to you for summer. And Ella, good on you for playing the game your way, okay? Awesome.

Yeah, you had good vibes. And well done, Mindy. That's the name of the game, Share or Steal. No way. There's no shame in it. She's essentially played the game the best way she could. And we'll play it again tomorrow. That's Share or Steal with Zed Energy's share tank.

You can lock in NZ's lowest fuel price within a 30km radius and save it for later or you can share it right now. If your family are planning a visit, you can shout their fuel with Share Tank as well. Bree and Clint. Just to let you guys in on something to do with our job, how radio works. Sometimes it's pretty hard to find content to talk about,

but a good time of the year is in December because a lot of lists come out. Oh, this is radio hosts. This is our dream. Hey, December is like Christmas for radio hosts. Because who doesn't love a list? I'm so keen on a list. All the yearly wrap-ups come out.

I'll just read out the list and my work is done. List me, baby. List me good. But this list is quite interesting. As I said, I love a list where they've released the list of words that are most commonly mispronounced this year in 2021. Right, okay. So a word you might recall from earlier in the year, which we actually did a whole segment on it.

Does anyone recall? Oh, yes, yes. Me, can I? Yes. Choogee. Choogee. When we did Choogee Tuesdays. Yes.

And we had to cancel that feature because it just sounded like we were just making fun of things. And I do recall we got called out because we were saying choogie for a lot of the time. Now, we still don't really know. Is it choogie or choogee? It's choogee. Choogee. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, time. Now, we still don't really know. Is it choogy or choogy? It's choogy. Choogy. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, right.

Okay, choogy. Anyway, a lot of people. That word was hot for about a week. Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't a thing. It was like, this is the word. This is our word. And then you're like, you're just bullying people.

That word was terrible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can't believe we did a segment on that. Anyway. That word was choogy. You live and you learn. If you don't know what that word means, it means like something that's outdated or unfashionable now.

Yeah. And it used to be fashionable. Another word that people. Ironically, like the word choo-choo. Yeah, which is weird. A lot of people have been mispronouncing this very popular cryptocurrency. Oh, Dogecoin? Dogecoin.

Dogecoin. Not Dogecoin. Dogecoin. Who's saying Dogecoin? I don't know. Are they getting it confused with Dogecat? No, I think Dogecat brought out her own cryptocurrency and called it Dogecoin. Some people say Dodgecoin.

Dodgecoin. That's what, yeah. I think it's Dogecoin. But it's Dogecoin, right? Dogecoin. Dogecoin. That's what, yeah. I think it's Dogecoin. But it's Dogecoin, right? Dogecoin. That's the crypto that's named after that dog. Yeah. Yeah, the Shiba Inu dog.

Exactly. The Doge meme. Yeah, exactly. Right, okay. One of my friend's brothers has that dog. I was going to say he has that coin. Oh, no. He might.

Those dogs are so cool. They're so much smaller than I realised. Yeah, I met these two. They had a brother and a sister when we went camping one time. She bet he knows. And they were the cutest dogs ever. Yeah, I love those. Kind of like husky vibes a little bit.

Like a miniature husky. Another word apparently people have been mispronouncing in 2021. Billie Eilish. How do you mean to say Billie Eilish? Her last name. People apparently stuffing it up. Oh, but it is Eilish. It's Eilish How do you mean to say Billie Eilish? Her last name People apparently Stuffing it up Oh but it is Eilish

It's Eilish So we've been saying it right Yes but people I was going to say We bloody interviewed her I hope we got her name right Reporters It is Eilish

And all that type of thing Yeah Eilish The way they Because they've done Phonetic spelling for all of these Yeah And it's I E-Y-E

Eilish I couldn't mispronounce her last name if I tried. But was that Elish? Elish. Oh, Elish. Is that it? Right, okay. Have we ever sounded older?

No, I'm saying I couldn't mispronounce it if I tried. Yeah, it's a hard one to mispronounce. I'm saying do your bloody research. You know. Yeah. Anyway, this next one, I don't know if I'm even going to be able to say this. It's a cryptocurrency. Just start rattling off.

Do you know any other cryptocurrencies? Bitcoin. Well, who is mispronouncing Bitcoin? I don't know. Who's mispronouncing Eilish? Ethereum. Ethereum. People can't say Ethereum.

What have you been saying? I haven't been saying it. I steer clear of it. You said Eutherium, I think. No, you're making stuff up now. I think I said urethra. You said doggy style coin. Urethra.

Do you want another one? Yeah, go on. Apparently the host city of the November United Nations Climate Conference, because obviously that was very- COP26. Big news. Do you know where it was? Was it?

Glasgow maybe? Glasgow. Glasgow. Glasgow. Glasgow. What are they saying? I don't know. Glasgow, maybe? Glasgow.

Glasgow. Glasgow. This is for dumb people. If you're getting those words wrong. Where do you want to go? You want to go to Scotland? Yeah. Glasgow.

It's a bit cheap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shein. I thought it was fancy. Yeah, I thought when you were getting all those deliveries, I was like, damn, Brie's splurging. No, it's like $30 for like a jacket. Yeah, Shein. Apparently people are saying that wrong. People have been saying She-it. Brie's Blur Jankers. No. Right. It's like $30 for like a jacket. Yeah.

It's a safe space here. What's a word you can't say? Oh, okay. What's a word that you've been mispronouncing or you just can't wrap your head around it, you can't say it properly? Yeah. Like see an enemy.

CNN. Anemone. Anemone. CNN. The one I get wrong is turmeric. The spice. Turmeric. Turmeric. That's right.

Turmeric. I can't remember which one is the right one. Right. You always forget. Yeah, yeah. Turmeric. Turmeric. Turmeric.

C-N-N-N-M-I-N-E. Anyway, let's move on. We're asking you this afternoon, what word can't you say? We'll see if we can figure it out. When you try to say it, we'll see if we can understand what you're saying. Sandra's here. Hi, Sandra. Hi, Sandra. Hi, Sandra.

Hi. Okay, tell us. Be a big brave girl with us. Yes. What's the word? Tragedy. Sorry, one more time. Tragedy.

Tragedy. Tragedy. Tragedy. Do you mean tragedy? I think she means strategy. Yeah. Strategy. Like strategize. Yeah. Strategy, like strategize. Yeah.

Oh, you poor thing, Sandra. I can just picture you get up in front of your whole workplace and you have to do a presentation on the strategy and you get up there and you already bloody shoot yourself in the foot before you start. I didn't realize I said it wrong until somebody pointed it out to me. Oh, no. We're having a strat day next week. Sandra just starts sweating profusely.

She's like, oh no. Okay, well thank you for being honest with us. Tragedy is your word. Tragedy. Tragedy. And the feelings can't go wrong. Tragedy. Hi Celine. Hi. Tell us, what is

Worcestershire. Yeah, so I just go Worcestershire sauce. Worcestershire sauce. I'm a food tech teacher and I'm supposed to know this stuff. You're a teacher. I'm supposed to know this stuff. You're a teacher. I'm supposed to, yeah. Well, to be fair, what part of the curriculum does Worcestershire sauce sit under? I mean, unless she teaches cooking.

Oh, true. Are you a home ec teacher? It's what I do. Oh, no, Celine. It's fine, Celine. I mean, how many recipes would Worcestershire sauce be in? Just avoid those. Well, we try not to use those recipes.

You've cut it from the curriculum. Do you actually avoid those recipes for that reason? I tend to edit those recipes and I just take it out. That's hilarious. Why do all of our recipes have sweet chilli sauce in them? That's so good. Celine's like, don't ask any questions, okay? Sit down.

That's so funny. I love that. Christy's here. Hi, Christy. Hi's so good. Celine's like, don't ask any questions, okay? Sit down. That's so funny. I love that. Christy's here. Hi, Christy. Hi, Christy. Hi, guys. Safe space here, Christy. I can already tell there's going to be a doozy.

What's the word you can't say? See, I can't even try and pronounce it. I just call it a baseball bat with the dot. So like the line with the dot. Kind of like a question mark, but the line? Exclamation mark. Oh, exclamation mark. Yeah, that one.

No, you've got to give it a go. I want to see. I want to hear what you say. No, no, wait, wait, wait. You call it baseball bat with the dot? Yeah. Does anyone know what you're talking about? Yeah, well, I used to work in traffic control

and that's the sign what we called it was a baseball bat. What do you call a question mark? A question mark. Right, you're fine with that one. Yeah, that's easy to say. All right, come on, Christy, give it to us. Can you please say exclamation mark? Exclamation mark?

Tell us, what is the word you can't say? Okay, it's aioli. No, I feel you on this one, Emma. I come from a family my father can't say. He says aioli. Yeah, and I used to work in a hospital and I used to get a lot of giggles with, would you like aioli with that?

Wait, you worked in hospitality and you had to take people's order and offer them the sauce that you can't say? Yeah, there was a lot of giggles, even from the chefs in the kitchen. Hey, just one more time for the cheap seats in the back. Aioli. Oh, thank you, everybody. That was very helpful.

Can you imagine Emma's like, we're out of that. We've only got mustard. And ketchup. Ketchup is it? Yeah, that or day. Brian Clint. It's time for Google Down. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down?

What the hell? I think Google's actually down. Don't ever introduce the game like that again. It's Google Down. That's okay. The other one was way too breathy. Was it? Yeah.

Okay. I'll work on it for next week. I've got one more week to get it right. Way too breathy. It's our Googling game where you try and become crowned New Zealand's greatest Googler and Mandy's here for the title. Hi, Mandy. I think it's Maddie.

Let's let them decide. Which name do you prefer? It's Maddie. I like you already, Maddie. I knew that. That was a test. I'm in your corner. I want you to win today, but you've got your work cut out for you

because the Googlers here in the studio are quite competitive. Here's the rules of the game. I'll be reading out a question that I have put into Google, the exact question that I read out. I'm looking for the most common answer that comes up first for that exact question. If you yell out the right answer first, you will get a point. If you yell out the wrong answer, you're out for that question. And you can come back in for the next question.

First of three wins. Are we ready? I'm ready. Yeah. All right. Maddie, you still there? I mean, Mandy. Yeah, I'm there.

Just kidding, Maddie, you still there? I mean, Mandy. Yeah, I'm there. Just kidding, Maddie. Maddie's just connecting to her dial-up internet so she can do some Googling. Here we go, guys. Question number one. What day of the week was Christmas in 1997? Thursday. How'd you know that? It was a guess.

Was it a guess? Well, he's crushed it. Wow, that was impressive. He lost Thursday. I mean, it was a one in seven. Ben, you should have said it wasn't a guess and you just Googled it that fast. No. No, you should have said you knew.

That was too long of a question for me to Google. All right, here we go. That was your specialty topic. Question number two. Producer Ben is on the board. How old is Santa Claus? That is the question. 1,750 years.

1,750. Oh, Maddie, you were very close to these two. I'd almost give her that because of the delay. No, you're just giving her because I got it. No, Clint got that one. That's a point to Clint. Give away your own points. You are right in there.

Question number three. I'll consider that for the next one, Anastasia. You attempted to guess that one, Ben? In my head, I had 5,000. I was like, there's no way. Yeah, right. That would make him older than Jesus. Whoa.

He'd get too many pensions if he was little. Question number three. How many reindeer does Santa have? Nine. 14. 12. One of you is right. It's Maddie.

Damn it! Nice work, but interesting enough, there's multiple articles that say all those numbers that you just said. I don't understand how there can be 12 if Rudolph is at the front by himself. Like, how does that work? Shouldn't there need to be an odd number for Rudolph to be by himself of what the other reindeer are in pairs? I'm just taking what, as I said, what comes up.

It's not always right. I'm not having you go at you, okay? But, yes, it doesn't make sense. Yeah, it doesn't make sense. But I don't think Rudolph always flies. Anastasia's out, by the way. No, I'm not. Yeah, she's out.

We're on the board. She's playing for Maddie. Question number four. Here we go. How many main elves does Santa have? I forgot to mention this is Christmas themed. 144. Clint is out.

How many main elves? Minor elves in Lord of the Rings. Oh, no. Sex. That's right, Ben. He's on fire today. The elves include bushy evergreen, pepper minsticks, shiny uppertree, sugarplum Mary, and my favourite, Worcestershire sauce.

No. One horse open sleigh. Yeah, which. One horse open sleigh. Yeah, which obviously means horse open sleigh. Oh, one horse open sleigh. All right, cool. Producer Ben is on two. Maddie is on one. Clint is on one.

Producer Anastasia, you haven't. No, I'm playing with Maddie. Okay, cool. Okay, here we go. Question number five. How cold can it get in the North Pole? I'm noticing a theme. Negative 45 degrees to negative 15 degrees or Fahrenheit.

Winter or summer? And are we doing Celsius or Fahrenheit? Negative 30 Fahrenheit. Negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Negative 76 Fahrenheit. Clint got it. It's negative 40. Can we ban

Anastasia? She sucks. No, you leave her alone. She just said like nine different numbers. Shush, you're out. Okay, here we go. God, everyone's getting ruthless. Maddie, you want Anastasia out as well, eh? I'm playing with Maddie. No, I want Anastasia on my team. Legend!

Alright, here we go. Come on, girls. You could take these last two. Question number six. What percentage of the world's population celebrates Christmas? What percentage of the world's population celebrates Christmas? Looking for a... 95%. Producer Ben is out.

Oh, what? Nine and ten. Oh, I hate this game. Ah, damn it. That's Americans. Yes. Come on, Maddie. You've got this.

I have the answer here, but I will leave it out. I won't Anastasia you. People are still looking. I think this might be the hardest one we've ever done. I'm taking my time because those others are out. I'd rather get it right. Is this 32%? You don't get to guess.

You're out. That's Maddie's guess. Maddie. Oh, yeah. Okay, cool. 32%. And, Astage, you got it for Maddie. That means it is a three-way, what is it called?

Tie. Three-way tie break right now between the boys and the girls. Here we go. Last question. I didn't think we would get this far, and so far it's been all Christmas themed except for the last question. So Here we go. Last question. I didn't think we would get this far, and so far it's been all Christmas themed, except for the last question. So here we go.

What date is Christmas? Question number seven. How many metres high is Mount Everest? 8,412. 8,849 metres. 8,849. The girls have taken it out this afternoon. Look out.

Yes, Queen. They've come through with the girls. Can't believe you couldn't make up a Christmas question at the end. Well, I wrote. Oh, you were meant to Google it. I see what you're saying. Well, I wrote the thing, yeah. Hey, Maddie, you get 50 KFC chicken dollars.

Congratulations. Cool. Thank you so much. Nice work. Thank you for helping. It was so fun beating you, Clint. What a come from behind victory. Yeah, comeback queen.

Yeah, right? I love that in one of them she literally said seven answers and none of them were right. She did it wrong. Look, they say it's better to give than to receive, but there's... Not in every way of life. There is a certain expectation that... Well, yeah, true.

Depends what we're talking about. Well, it also depends what you're into, I guess. But at Christmas time, there's a gift exchange expectation, right? If you know that you're going to somewhere for Christmas, you... I hate receiving gifts. Do you? Yeah, I find I love

giving people gifts. It's actually something that I really enjoy. And I love the process of finding something a really good gift for someone. But I'm actually really bad at receiving gifts. Make a note of that. Whoever got Bree for our Bree and Clint show Secret Santa,

she wants nothing. I didn't say I want nothing. I just said I'm not good at receiving. Well, we don't want to make you awkward. Yeah, well, hey, to be honest, fair enough. I'd probably rather receive nothing. This time yesterday when we were talking about baller-ass Christmas presents, we got this text in which I thought was quite interesting.

They said, we got nothing from our in-laws last Christmas, but we still spent a couple of hundred dollars on them. Never again. Awkward. Yeah, that is quite awkward. It's pretty awkward for them too to receive this couple of hundred bucks. It's an expensive Christmas present. Yeah, it's not just something you kind of pick up last minute.

That's like a thoughtful, you've put a lot of time and effort into it. You've gone the extra mile for your in-laws and they have to, like you said, they have to receive this gift, but they've got nothing for you. Awkward for them too. Did the in-laws host Christmas dinner and they provided all the food or like, what's the, I need the T's and C's.

Doesn't say, but the bit at the end where they said, never again with five exclamation marks. Yeah. My mum always, and she does this every Christmas, she always buys decoy gifts. Decoy gifts. Well, that's what I call them. Or, you know, get out of jail free card gifts.

Backup gifts? Backup gifts. My mum does the same thing. She always buys a few of them, has them under the tree. Yeah, just in case someone shows up that you weren't expecting. And you go, oh, I got you something. There's no name tag on it, but they don't know the rest of the presents have a name tag on it. That's expert level mum stuff, eh?

And it might just be a box of roses. A bottle of wine. A bottle of wine. Whatever it is, yeah. A half-eaten morrow bar. Like, don't buy, as for a backup gift, like Lynx Africa or men's underwear. Don't make it gender specific.

No, it needs to be real neutral. But then you have to have backup, backup too, because you can't give the bottle of wine to a kid who shows up. So you've got to have a backup adult gift. Why not? Backup present gift. Well, good question, Bree. Why not?

It's because kids can't drink alcohol. Yeah, but then you say to them, so this is the way around it. You go, this is for when you turn 18 and it's a really good alcohol. Yeah, but then you say to them, so this is the way around it. You go, this is for when you turn 18 and it's a really good vintage. Yeah, cool. You've got a few things to learn, I think, as far as expert level mumming goes. I thought we could take some calls this afternoon

on people who you got a really good gift, but you got nothing in return or even more awkward, you received a really amazing gift and then you didn't know that gifts were being given and you had nothing to give in return that awkward exchange where someone gave a gift but there was nothing given in return remember that story um we did a few weeks ago where that woman was talking about the boyfriend she had and she got him this really thoughtful this was like back in the early 2000s, Garmin

GPS. Yes. Cost a lot of money and he got her a pre-used MMA magazine. Yes. And a pre-watched Forrest Gump DVD. Forrest Gump DVD. That's a great example. It's a very good example.

He'd even re-wrapped the magazine in the gift paper that had been given to him She's like I can tell that you've opened this It's clear that you've opened it Okay you got them a gift And they got you nothing We want to know when that happened Who was involved and what was the gift

And how awkward was it 0800 dials at M or you can text your stories into 9696 You can remain anonymous too If you need to. If you want. If we want to know this afternoon, when did you go all out on a gift for somebody who turns out didn't actually get you anything?

But thanks for the gift. Would you rather be the person that has bought the amazing gift or the person that buys a crappy gift. Or no gift. That's the thing. Or no gift. No gift. But I mean, usually they would have got you a gift.

It just won't be as good. I think crappy gift is passable because at least you thought of that person. No, that's even worse. It's the no gift to me that's so awkward. Yeah. It's the nothing. Neither's great, is it?

No, they're not good outcomes. I would rather be The person who gave the gift So that I could be On my high horse You know I'd like to be I'd like to be

I forgot you lived In that ivory tower Of yours I'd like to be up On Pride Rock Looking down at them Going it's okay I don't need a gift

Would you buy them Another gift next year Yeah I'd rub it in What would you do it again? Go back for double punishment? Oh, God. We want to know what happened to you. Jessie's caught up. G'day, Jessie. Hi, Jessie.

Hey, guys. Merry Christmas. So you bought the gift and got nothing in return? I got something in return. I got a bird's nest. Oh, a bird's nest? A bird's nest? Like from the tree? Yeah, it was really weird. Like a a bird's nest. Oh, a bird's nest? A bird's nest? Like from the tree? Yeah, it was really weird. Like a real bird's nest?

Like a real bird's nest. We hid it in an ice cream container. Like stolen from a bird? Wait, did you say it was in an ice cream container? And wait, was that wrapped up? I thought it was cookies. Was it wrapped up, Jessie? No, no, no.

Oh, no. And what did you get them? I got them perfume Okay, and who was Yeah, great gift Great gift Who was this person to you? He was just a work colleague

It was a secret Santa And he got you a That is weird It was very strange I've seen some weird stuff in secret Santa But it's this I didn't know what to say. It was so weird.

Someone gave me for Secret Santa one year a box of old fruit because they knew that that was my phobia. No, see, that's funny. Yeah, but I know it's funny, but you've got to have a follow-up gift to go, ha, ha, ha, just kidding. Here's a Mitre 10 voucher or something. No, but isn't it funnier that there was no follow-up present? Because you wouldn't be talking about it on the radio right now.

Yeah, in hindsight. Yeah, I guess it's funny. Jade's here. Hi, Jade. Hi, Jade. G'day. How are you going? Good, thanks.

Tell us, Jade, what was the situation with the gift giving? So I got, it was my previous boyfriend, and I got him one of those like star registry certificate things for Christmas. Oh, cool. Yeah. So he was real stoked with that. You bought him a constellation. Yeah, like names sort of went after him.

And I got hand cream and dumped. What? Hand cream and dumped? Yeah, so he gave me hand cream for Christmas and then two days after he dumped me. Oh, that's so harsh. Yeah, so he obviously wasn't keen on it. Was he into astrology?

Like, was it quite a thoughtful gift from you? It was. Yeah. They're expensive, aren't they, Jade? I know they are expensive. And I was like a high school student at the time as well. Was it good hand cream? It was lush stuff.

It was like a little gift pack. But yeah, it was like a little gift. Basically a pretty gift. Lush and Body Shop are the stores that men go to when they don't know what to buy a woman. And I say that as someone who did it for years. Let's be real. When you buy a perfume pack and it comes with the hand cream, no one ever uses

the hand cream. Well, you better be giving them the perfume as well, not just the gift with the purchase. But do you know what I mean? If you get a perfume pack, I don't go sweet. I'm so glad this hand cream. Well, you better be giving them the perfume as well, not just the gift with purchase. No, but do you know what I mean? If you get a perfume pack, I don't go, sweet, I'm so glad this hand cream's in this perfume pack. I never use the hand cream from the perfume pack. Catherine's here. Hi, Catherine.

Hi, Catherine. Hi. How are you guys? Good, thank you. It's your time to have a vent, Catherine. Tell us when did you get someone a great gift and they got you a real crappy one? Oh, I got my boyfriend

at the time, no longer my boyfriend, I got his mother a Christmas present. She's English and I got her and I knew she was homesick and I got her a whole lot of English candy from the English store. Oh, nice. To remind her of home and stuff.

And when I gave it to her, she had this panicked look on her face and then she said, I've got something for you too. And she went rushing out to her car and all the other presents had been handed around in the room. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, no! And came back with a used photo album that wasn't wrapped up and said, here, this is what I got you. No! Oh, no! I can't listen to that story. I feel bad for her.

Don't you feel bad? I do feel bad for her. Oh, I feel bad for you too. I kind of didn't worry about it too much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just played a big present. And you go, oh, my God, how did you know? That's what I wanted.

Can you imagine her just panicking, looking around her car, thinking, right, what can I pass off as a present? Okay, this pump bottle? No. Does she want a protein shaker? Does she want this dirty gym towel? No. Does she need a charging cable for her phone?

I'll read out some of these texts because they're so good. Someone said, I got my boyfriend of five years a PlayStation and a pair of shoes and he told me that he didn't know we were doing gifts this year so i also got him a breakup um broke up with him someone else said this one's so good i had a boyfriend uh that i was with uh for eight years who bought me cds back in the day for my birthday nice they were all his favorite bands and then he would always claim them for himself. That is so bad.

He just wants to listen to his music in the car. Horrible. Finally, Erin, welcome to the show. What happened with your gifting situation? So my now ex-husband, I had bought him a 55-inch TV for Christmas. Lots of thought had gone into it. Oh, yeah.

Solid. Good stuff. Lots of planning. Good wife. Lots of had gone into it. Thank you. Lots of planning. Thank you. He did buy me a present, which was quite a bonus for that year, but it was a four-slice toaster

because he wanted a four-slice toaster plus a spice rack, but the four-slice toaster wasn't very good, so it ended up actually only being a two-slice toaster. Oh, no. You bought him a TV and he's effectively said, get back in the kitchen. Oh, pretty much, yeah.

Oh, heckin'. No wonder he's your ex-husband. Yeah. Oh, well, there you go, Erin. On to better things, right? Did you take the TV with you when you left? No, actually, I said, no, damn it, no, I didn't. Oh, bugger. you go, Erin. On to better things, right? Did you take the TV with you when you left? No, actually, I did. No, damn it.

No, I didn't. Oh, bugger. That's all right. I bet you got that two-slice toaster, though. Yeah, don't you worry. Yes, Erin. That's what we like to hear. Not going to leave that behind.

Bree and Clint. Did you see that text? No. We're just talking about people who gave a really great gift and they got a crappy one or absolutely nothing in return. Yeah. Someone just texted and they said, my mother-in-law's birthday is five days before Christmas.

We bought her a really nice bracelet with her birthstone and we engraved it with a special message. Yep. That's such a thoughtful gift. Yep, totally. That exact same Christmas, five days later, she re-gifted it to an older lady who was a family friend right in front of us.

That is ruthless. With her birthstone and everything. Yeah, she would have just said, you know, this stone's all about clarity. No, she would have said, this is your birthstone. Yeah. Great, I didn't know what my birthstone was. She's like, I know.

but, I mean, we'll get into it. And I know Fletch Vaughan and Megan have done it already, but we're going to do our own spin on it. So, everyone, just cool your jets, okay? There's a list that's been revealed because it's the time of the year. For the most Googled things in New Zealand, what New Zealanders were Googling the most this year.

Blocked canals, because remember when that boat blocked the canal? Is that a euphemism? Well, that worked in more ways than one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's after all the bread we were breaking at home in lockdown clogged a few canals up. Yeah, because obviously that boat, what was it? The Suez?

Suez Canal. Suez Canal. Yeah, the Ever Given. Yeah, that got Googled a lot. Great memes. I know, great memes. In terms of COVID, COVID- uh was the most used search term of anything yeah uh covid related stuff people search uh locations of interest my covid record

The show that was Googled the most was Squid Game, which, I mean, you could have guessed that. And I think that's about it. Let's move on to the thing we're about to do, though, because I thought instead of that we could do the things that nobody was Googling this year. I've actually got my hands on this list too. There's some good stuff on there.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So we'll just go around the room. If we can throw a few things that no one was Googling in 2021. These are the least Googled things in 2021. Well, near to the top of the list. Almost nobody Googled 3D TVs. Oh.

That's good. They just, for some reason, they went up and then they went back down. Just close behind it is curved TVs as well. I love that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. God, I hate it. I said from the start.

If you have a 3D TV in your house right now, congratulations. You played yourself. Yeah. You got done like a dinner. Absolutely done like a dinner. Absolutely done like a dinner. Things people aren't Googling in 2021. Mandy Moore. Oh.

Some Jersey Shore actually Yeah I'm gonna go watch some actually I have got my hands On the list That doesn't work anymore. I'm going to go and Google some Jersey Shore, actually. Yeah, I'm going to go watch some, actually. I have got my hands on the list of the world's most powerful woman. Women. Sorry, women. Well, technically it's the most powerful woman. She's at the top.

I already know who this is. They made a whole movie about it. Who? Wonder Woman. No, incorrect. Incorrect. See, I think if you have watched the film, you would see how powerful she is.

No, it's not Wonder Woman. I'm not even going to allow you to crowbar that joke. She is quite powerful. No, I've got the list here. It's not Wonder Woman. Are you sure, Gal Gadot? Okay, you go. Before we start, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern features on this list regularly.

She's an influential, powerful woman. She bats above her weight. Well, she doesn't really. She just is influential. But the Prime Minister of little old New Zealand shouldn't really be on this list if everything else is going to plan. But it's because she's good at her job. So she has

ranked as high as 29th in 2018. That's her highest ranking. Since she became Prime Minister, she's never not Featured in the Forbes Top 100 Most powerful woman in the Frickin world This year Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern Slipped a bit, she's 34th

That's still pretty good She's only the 34th most powerful woman in the world Could be worse, you could be 35th Could be worse, you could be Judith Collins. You know, she's not on the list. That's what I meant by that joke. Do you want to know the top five most powerful women in the world?

Talofa, I would say on that one too. Do you want to know the top five most powerful women in the world? Yes, I'd love to. Number five, Melinda Gates. Bill Gates' ex-wife. Although she shouldn't be referred to as that. She's her own person. But that's how you know Melinda Gates. I know who that is. From the Bill and' ex-wife. Although she shouldn't be referred to as that. She's her own person. But that's how you know Melinda Gates.

I know who that is. From the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Very wealthy woman. Number four, the fourth most powerful woman in the world. Are you familiar with Mary Barra? Mary Barra? Yeah. Can't say I am. She's the CEO of General Motors and she's

the first woman to lead one of the big three automakers in the United States's the first woman to lead one of the big three automakers in the United States. The first woman ever to be in charge of the big motor companies. Yeah, I'd imagine that would be quite a male-dominated field up until now. Also confusing to be the CEO of GM because what is the GM of GM? If you're the general manager of General Motors, you're the GM of GM. But the CEO of GM outranks the GM of GM.

Yeah, that is very confusing. Yeah, but we've cleared it up. Good for her. That's amazing. Number three, the third most powerful woman in the world is Christine Lagarde. Do you know who that is? She became the first woman to head the European Central Bank

on the 1st of November 2019. Basically, Christine is in charge of all of the money in Europe. Right. So she's a fairly powerful person, not just woman. That is a lot of euros. It's a lot of euros. And they are in the shit at the moment, so she's got a big job on her hands. Number two most powerful woman in the world is Vice President Kamala Harris.

Of course. Joe Biden's deputy. And the person on track to take the nomination off Joe Biden. Yes. She is. She's on track to be president. The first female president. Yes.

And she actually already is the first female president because while Joe was having a prostate exam. She took over. She legally took over. And when she did that this is not a joke by the way, this isn't a shit joke that's a real thing she was temporarily president and became the first female

president of the states. Let's try and get one voted in, that would be helpful too. I think her actually getting voted in will be better. Finger up the bum, that's a good way to get there too. I can just imagine people there like we gave him a turn. We gave him a bloody turn. Joe had to go get his pee-pee looked at

and she was in there for a day. The prostate, it's not the pee-pee, Bree. Oh, that's right. I learned that last year. Yes. Finally, number one, do you want to have one guess at who the most powerful woman in the world is?

Most powerful woman in the world. It's okay, you don't know many women. I'll just give it to you. The most powerful woman in the world is Mackenzie Scott. She is Jeff Bezos' ex-wife, who when they got divorced, she managed to rinse him for $59 billion, and she's gone on to use that money for philanthropy. She's giving all of her money away and for that reason

Mackenzie Scott is the most powerful woman in the world. Did she rinse him? I thought they started the company together Well I mean she managed to get it out of him Your poor choice of words All this female empowerment and then I go and We bloody gave them a turn and they take

an inch and they want a mile, I tell you, these bloody women. Well done, ladies. Good work. Play ZM's Brand Clint. On Insta, Facebook, TikTok and live weekdays from 3 on ZM. Feed by KFC. Get the full menu delivered to your door with the KFC app.
