ZM! Let's go! Now let me see you dance! ZM's Brie and Clint. Good afternoon New Zealand, Brie and Clint. Good to be here. Hi mate. Hello mate. Good to be here on what is a really, really hard day for New Zealand today and we're not going to pretend that it's not. We're not just going to not talk about it. I don't want to pretend that it's not happening because I think it's important that we use our platform and you agree with me on this, Clint, that we need to talk about it.

And, you know, everyone is feeling something today. I don't think there's a workplace around New Zealand who hasn't had a conversation one way or another about what happened to Grace Mullane. And it's important to say her name, what happened to Grace in New Zealand. Yep. And it is still unfolding.

We don't know everything, but we're sort of processing it as a country as best we can. It's hard. It's hard to talk about and it's hard to think about what her family and friends and loved ones are going through right now.

But, you know, this is the reality and we can't shy away from it. That's exactly what it is. All we're saying is we will not shy away from this today. But at the same time, we are here to get you home this afternoon and to make sure that there is a bit of a smile on the end of your day, hopefully. That's our job today and that's what we're going to do. So we will keep you updated? Yes, if there are updates, you'll get them as soon as they come through. Let's start off with something nice, okay? It is Christmas and we've got a brand new competition to do with Joblist.

Yeah. This is really good if you are stressed, if you're frazzled at the moment, or if there's just something you need done, we can help you to get that thing done today. And this is the perfect time for this. This happens all year round. Joblist is around 24-7. If you're just busy all the time but coming up to Christmas,

if you're working all the way up until Christmas and you need stuff done, Joblist is a website where you can pretty much get people to do those things. We will do a live version of that next. We need you to call us and tell us what do you need done before Christmas? And with our competition, Santa's

Little Helpers, we'll pick one of those things we'll get the job done for you, plus you'll win a $300 Prezi card in time for Christmas. Boom. How good is that? Just before Christmas, helping you out thanks to Joblist. I want you to think, do you need someone to get a Christmas tree for you? Do you need someone to wrap your Christmas presents for you?

Do you need someone to do your Christmas shopping for you? Maybe you need someone to fix up the yard before the in-laws come. What is the job that you need done and thanks to Jobless, we'll get it done for you and give you a Prezi card for Christmas straight after this. It'll be great. 0800 dial ZM. This is Portugal The Man, Bree and Clint.

It's two after four. ZM. Bree and Clint on ZM. Okay, let's give away some Prezi cards for Christmas. Bree and Clint, Santa's little helpers. Actually, it's better than just prezi cards. We're getting jobs done for you this Christmas thanks to Jobs List. Yeah, so essentially it's a website.

Job List, rather, sorry. Job List. Yeah, so essentially Job List is a website where if you don't have the time to do anything, pretty much, you can put this on the website and then someone will come around and they'll do it. Joblist.co.nz. Let's find out what some ZM listeners need done before Christmas and we'll choose one of them, Bree, to get done and give that person a $300 Prezi card. Boom, let's do it. First of all,

Dana. Hi, Dana. Hi, guys. How are you? Good, how are you? I'm alright, yeah. That's good. What do you need done, Dana? So, I have a guide dog puppy in training and she is awesome, but she loves to dig holes in the garden and I really need them filled in before the in-laws come over for Christmas.

Cute. Will the dog be there? I'll come around and do it for free. Do we get to meet the dog? Oh, yeah, definitely. Okay. Jeez, that's going to be really hard to beat. Jenna.

Hi, welcome to the show. Merry Christmas. Jenna. Jenna, hi. She show. Merry Christmas. Jenna. Jenna, hi. Hi. She is. What do you need done before Christmas, Jenna? I need my lawns and my hedges done because they resemble a hay paddock at the moment.

Mm-hmm. Because we have the entire family coming over for Christmas dinner and lunch. Yeah. We've just had a baby and all gone back to work, so no time. So busy, busy. So much pressure when you're the one who's hosting Christmas,

just to get everything looking perfect, which is weird because your family doesn't expect your house to look perfect 24-7, but you just want them to show up and go,

oh yeah, this is what it always looks like. Yeah, it's always this clean. The hedge is always trimmed. One more. Becky, hi. Hello, Becky. Hi.

Are you busy before Christmas? What do you need done? I'm always busy with a toddler and two other kids on my own, but I really need my presents wrapped because I always find myself wrapping them at, like, midnight on Christmas Eve. Like my mum, yeah. Every year. Like my mum, too.

And to be honest, I'm surprised she doesn't see Santa with how late she stays up. I know. I can find mum and Santa always say hello to each other. Okay, wait there, Becky. Wait there. Who do you want to give it to? This is the stink thing about this. We can only do one a day.

So we can only get one of those jobs done. I like all of them. I like all of them too, but one of them involves a puppy. One of them involves a puppy. She's training a guide dog. I mean, the other two have got kids Which is very deserving as well Dana's training a puppy

Training a guide dog puppy A gay dog puppy They don't have those But those would be cute too Well that could be a thing What are you thinking? I don't know I'm very biased

I'm very swayed towards Dana And the guide dog puppy holes Let's go Dana Dana we have got for you a $300 Prezi card and job list are going to get your holes filled in for you, okay? Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much. You're welcome.

No worries, Dana. Have a great Christmas. Oh, thank you. You too. Is it a little golden lab? It's a black one. Has it got a little red guide dog jacket? Yeah.

Clint's gone. I'm clucky, but for dogs. Me too. Okay, hey, well done. We'll get that sorted for you in time for Christmas. You can do this with us tomorrow. We'll keep doing it all week, all right? And if you're listening and you really need a job done,

go to joblist.co.nz and they'll get it done for you. There are changes to the way the IRD are collecting tax and doing, well, not really collecting it, the tax refund side of the things. In the past, like there have been a lot of like websites and stuff spring up where you can go to to get your money back if you've overpaid your taxes. Right. So this is so different to what I've always known from back home. How does it work in Australia?

So you always overpay, like the government always takes more money like than what's needed just in case. Yeah. And then at tax time, you have to file a tax return. Yeah. And then you usually get a little bit of money back. Not the case here. Yeah.

You don't have to file. If you're employed in a regular job. You don't have to. Unless you're a self-employed person, you don't have to. Right. But you can and you should. This is the thing about those tax refund sites. You can actually do that.

They take a fee. They take a percentage or something. You can do it yourself. You can actually do it yourself. I can't because I'm terrible at math. Well, that's why those companies exist too because some people can't be bothered. Sometimes they will come back though and you will owe money.

Majority of the time you get a refund. Some of the times you do owe money. And it's not until you realise that you owe money that you have to pay it. It's changing. From next year, it's going to be automatic. The IRD will automatically calculate whether you are owed a tax refund or whether you owe them tax. And how will they tell you? You'll just get an email or a letter in the mail and they'll say, here's your money. The

downside is that if you owe it. Yeah, that's not great. So this is the stats. They reckon 1.67 million people are going to get a refund next year, which is good. It's money that they might not have looked into otherwise. And that's the other thing. If you never go and ask for your refund, you don't get it. It just sits in the bag of cash.

Yeah, but then it's a risk. It is a risk. Isn't it? Well, there's no risk anymore because 1.67 million will get it. 263,000 will get a bill. Of that, 115,000 people, it'll be their first time ever getting a tax bill. So that'll be a bit of a stink start to the year. I can't believe.

Yeah, that's crazy to me. I've got three ideas for how you can avoid getting a tax bill. Right. How to avoid it. Throw it in the bin. Well, then there's four ideas. Throw it in the bin. Don't do that.

No, that fits good with my ideas too. No, the tax department will come after you. Change your name and move into a cave without a letterbox. Yeah, but then you have to live in a cave. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Stage a protest by burning everything that you own Drain your bank account and then declare yourself bankrupt Can't owe anything if you're bankrupt Yeah, but that's probably, you know, you're probably just better to pay the small amount

Depends, depends how you feel about it And my final way of avoiding a tax bill is pay your tax properly. Well, that's not fun. That one's boring. That's boring. Should we go with your one? Chuck it in the bin? Yeah, risky.

Yeah, cool. Good luck, New Zealand. Me personally, Clint, I'm not claiming to be, you know, fashion forward, head of the game, on top of the trends. You, I think, are the fashion person on our show. You're pretty cool too though. Oh, yeah, I'm so cool. You've got those Mario Brothers overalls everywhere.

Hey, people like those. I like them. People were a fan. I love Mario Brothers. They were a fan of those. But I may have stumbled upon the latest trend and I think I'm late to the party as per usual. The other night I was out with a couple of mates

and one of the girls sitting across from me pulls out of her handbag a scrunchie. I saw this on your Instagram story. I saw this. I was shocked because to me a scrunchie is from the 80s. I haven't seen one in a long time. But apparently, I put this on my Instagram story, people were

telling me different. You put it up there saying the scrunchie's not okay. I'm not a fan. You were saying I'm not into this. And I sat back in my chair at home and I went, she's going to get roasted for this. I did. It was a velvet scrunchie.

Can I mention? And apparently they are the next big thing, or they are at the moment. They have been for the last year. I don't claim to be the most fashionable person in the world, but you know who is? Your wife. My wife.

Yes. She's a fashion and beauty editor. She has been across multiple fashion titles in magazines. She's cool. What's her take? She is. I like to describe her as effortlessly cool. She is. She has two scrunchies. She has one multicoloured scrunchie, like fluoro multicoloured. Could it be

for a costume? No, she wears it all the time. Does she? And I think she's got a velvet one too. Yeah, they're in. Loves it. The velvet ones are in. Loves her scrunchies apparently people like bella hadid hayley jlo selena gomez they're all rocking the scrunchie what's your aversion to a scrunchie by the way like what what was it that offended you so much for one they're so chunky and bulky and for me being someone who has really thin hair doesn't look good. You've got to be very careful coming out against a trend in the early days because you can be made to eat your words.

As someone who publicly said Instagram story sucks and no one will use it, it's very hard when people remind you of that. I used to say, why do we need Instagram story? We've got Snapchat. I think I said that too. Exactly. And now look at us. But I will say I'm never going to be able to rock a scrunchie.

I don't have enough hair. What do you mean you don't have enough hair? A scrunchie is very thick and chunky. My hair is very thin. So if I put it in my hair, I would look like a troll doll. That's more reason to put one in your hair. That's what I would look like. You did a poll on your Instagram.

Scrunchies yes or no? Yeah. What were the results of that? The results were 51 yes in favour, 49% no. Not decisive. That's a Brexit result. That's legit. That's too close to call.

Right down the middle. Let's do it right now. I want to do it right now. Let's do it right now. Let's do it right now. Let's to do it right now. Let's do it right now. Let's do it right now. Let's use all of New Zealand to settle this. Is the scrunchie back?

Good. I can get into this conversation. Let us know what side of the argument you're on. Oh, 800. Dial ZM. We're talking about the humble 80s trend, the scrunchie. Is it back in fashion? I saw one out the other night. I said, what the hell is that?

Well, what we're also talking about is your ability to call a trend as well or to identify something that's fashionable. Yeah, well, I'm going to put my hand up and say I'm not fashionable, but I'm not a fan of the scrunchie. Why were you so anti-a scrunchie? When I saw your Instagram story, I don't know if you'd had a couple of jars. I had a few jars. It was more like, what is that?

I think I was more in shock because I haven't seen one of those since I was like three. And then I was attacked by everyone at the table saying, hey, the scrunchie. Hey, the scrunchie. Hey, the scrunchie. Hey, the scrunchie... Oh, Tanisha, can we get you to put... We'll come back to you. I just need to turn your radio down.

Either that or she's... I don't know what was going on there. We'll come back to Tanisha. Okay. What is the text machine saying? The text machine is blowing up with opinions. It's very 50-50. Someone's saying the scrunchie is 100% back.

Oh, I can't read that. But I left mine at my hookup's house. Hope he enjoys it. Oh, Chris, your opinion on the scrunchie? Yeah, it's definitely in. It is. I've got, I use it when I can't find a hair tie.

I've got a teenager that's into them and then one that's in primary school that has a collection of them. But wait, Chris, you said you only use it when you can't find a hair tie. But, no, no, but, but I must admit that wearing it to do like a messy bun, it stays in beautiful. Interesting. So you can pretend that you've got that look when you don't, you know.

You're talking to Bree, the girl who permanently has no less than two hair ties on her wrist. So I don't know a time where she's ever been caught without a hair tie. I'm very pro hair tie. Chris, would you keep a scrunchie on your wrist? I mean, I don't want to be one to comment on ladies' trends, but is that cool, to wear a scrunchie on your wrist? No, unless I was playing tennis and it was like the purpose of capturing sweat.

No, I wouldn't. Okay, like I said, far be it from me to comment on these trends. Let's see if Tanisha's there now. Hi, Tanisha. Hello, it's Tanisha. Oh, Tanisha. Yes. Oh, kia ora.

Welcome to the show. Hello. What do you think? The scrunchie, is it back in fashion? No, it's not. It has been. Never? That's what I said earlier today, Tanisha.

I said the scrunchie was never in Kenesha you worried that maybe you're just not cool And that maybe you don't get it No no I have been here also Kenesha's like mate I'm cool Okay well as far as A verdict goes that was two calls either way

Do we have one or is it Looks like it's the same as my Instagram poll. 50-50. Yeah, well, you know, if you're willing and daring to rock a scrunchie, I say all the more power to you. What a gripping result from a well-balanced journalistic radio show, The Bree and Clint Show. ZM.

Bree and Clint on ZM. This is a very hard day for New Zealand. It's a hard day to be a New Zealander. It's a hard day for anybody who has Zealander. It's a hard day for anybody who has a sister or a daughter or a mother after what's gone down with Grace Mullane. It's just unthinkable

what they would be going through right now with the news that has unfolded over the past week. We said at the start of the show we'd like to bring you stuff as it comes through and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has just spoken on this. So we're just going to go straight to this. This has just come through.

She is holding a press conference currently at Parliament and she opened the press conference with this. From the Kiwis I have spoken to, there is this overwhelming sense of hurt and shame that this has happened in our country, a place that prides itself on our hospitality, on our manaakitanga, especially to those who are visiting our shores. And so on behalf of New Zealand, I want to apologise to Grace's family. Your daughter should have been safe here and she wasn't and I'm sorry for that.

It's really hard to listen to. Yeah. The humanity of it comes through there as you even hear Jacinda's voice breaking, seeing that poor detective who has to head up this case. Every time he comes on the television, you can see. Barely able to keep it together. I mean, he mentioned himself that he has a 20-year-old daughter. I mean, it's just, it's really hard to listen to and it's really hard to think about.

The right things are being done at the moment. The person who they have in custody is being put through the court as quickly as possible. His case has been elevated straight to the high court because that's what happens with murder. That is the highest offence you can commit under New Zealand law, so it goes straight to the high court. Can I just say what an amazing effort and job the New Zealand police have done? Vigilante stuff is not going to do anything, by the way,

if you think that it's going to help by if you know his name putting it on Facebook or whatever it's not. It's not going to help because they've already got him. And it shouldn't be about that. It shouldn't be about that and if anything gets done that can hinder the case or for whatever reason means that the right kind of

justice can be done then that's not going to help. No and it's not it's not how I believe Grace's family would want that to happen. And I think we need to remember Grace and, you know, the memory of her and make it about her. It's not about him. It's about her. Yep, that's absolutely right.

Like we said before, though, it is our job to keep things moving this afternoon and to get you home and to hopefully put a little bit of sunshine in your day. And what we said is a really, really hard day. Yeah. So we're going to do that.

We're going to do Birthday Banger as we always do next. So if you would like to play Birthday Banger, you need to call us right now. 0800-DIAL-ZM. Just before we do Birthday Banger,

just a quick show dilemma. Ben and I, Producer Ben, are going to Aquaman. Oh yeah. I'm so excited. With Jason Mom Aquaman tomorrow. Oh yeah, excited. With Jason Momoa in it. We've got special tickets

to the preview. Is that a mermaid movie, is it? Yeah, yeah. No, it's a merman movie. Oh, merman. Brie has just been offered Kevin Hart tickets

tomorrow night. Merman. What would you rather do? What would you rather go to? Kevin Hart. Because Ben, you're real keen on this Aquaman thing.

I mean, I don't have Kevin Hart tickets, but if Kevin Hart tickets come through... But what if I could get Kevin Hart tickets? Would you still rather go to Aquaman than Kevin Hart? I can see Kevin Hart for free on Netflix anyway. The new thing's out. I can watch it. Typical producer band. And Aquaman doesn't come out until Boxing Day.

Oh, is it that far? Are we seeing it that far in advance? Well, you could just pay $15 to see it on Boxing Day. Well, you know it's not going to be that cheap. Ellie, what would you do? To be honest, I never knew what Aquaman was until now, so I'll be Kevin Hart. Don't worry, we're still going to Aquaman. If you pull out.

Calm down, please. Free and Clint's birthday banger. He's so invested in Aquaman. Calm down, please. He's so invested in Aquaman. Someone loves Aquaman. You would have thought he had a big part in the movie itself. I can tell you he's part fish. Let's find out what some people's birthday bangers are. Hi, Kat. Hi, Kat.

Hi. What's your birthday, Kat? 14th of October, 95. Okay, Kat. You were 16 in 2011 on the 14th of October, and this is your birthday banger. Maroon 5. Look at producer Ben, he's loving that song. Do you like this is your birthday banger, Kat?

Yeah, I do. Yeah, good, okay. I like Christina halfway through that song. Christina Aguilera comes in. Who won't know? Wow. Yeah, good. Okay. I like Christina halfway through that song. Christina Aguilera comes in. Who won't know? Wow. Jerome, hi. Jerome.

Yeah, hello. Hi. Hello, mate. What's your birthday, Jerome? Okay, so it's the 6th of September, 1985. Okay, Jerome, you were 16 in 2001 on the 6th of September. And back in the early 2000ss this was top of the chart. Yeah.

Jerome, do you know who this is? Is it Blue? It's Blue. It's my favourite band. It was one of your favourite bands? Well, along with the Backstreet Boys. And Five? Oh, Five was good. I'm pretty sure it was Blue.

One of the old members of Blue actually was on The Voice UK. Oh, yeah? And he was auditioning. Cool story. No, and then they were like, where do we know you from? And he was like, I'm from that 90s pop group, Blue. I was going to say, more impressive than that, he was in Blue. Yeah, no, but I mean, that's where he is now.

Oh, okay. Sorry, I cool story broed you a little bit too early. Yeah, it was an all right story. No, up until then, it was a cool story, bro. Okay. Hey, Martin, you were up last for birthday, bangerman. Jeez, I hope I get a good one. I'm up against it.

It's tough, eh? Mate, you're up against blue. It's tough. Let's see what you got. What's your birthday? 9th of April, 1989. Okay, Martin, you were 16 in 2005 on the 9th of April, and on that day, this was number one.

Yes. Oh, Martin, any other day, mate? I don't know. I reckon it's pretty good. Savage Moonshine. It is pretty good. But we all know what's happening here, don't we, Mark? But just when this bit hit.

It's so hard to deny. Let's go with Savage. Okay. Jerome. Jerome. What would you play, Jerome? Oh, jeez. That Moonshine song was pretty good.

Oh, you can't sign... Wow, you guys are really... You know what? We're going to take this decision out of your guys' hands. Let's take that part. Oh, no, there's an uproar. This is a good birthday banger, though. It's always blue.

This is blue. Bree and Clint, ZM. ZM, Bree and Clint, that is Blue and All Rise, the winner of Birthday Banger today. That's the true spirit of Birthday Banger. When you get gems like that. I thought you were going to say Christmas. I was like, yeah, okay, sure.

It was in Love Actually, Blue. Do you remember that? No. The guy that releases the song in Love Actually, where he changes the one word to Christmas. When Christmas is all around. Yes. He goes up against Blue to have the number one single.

In the charts. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got to be honest with you. I've seen Love Actually once and it was last Christmas. So, I know. I'm offended. I'm absolutely offended. You're giving me the same look my wife did.

And at that stage she said, who am I marrying? At least you've seen her once. Apparently my mum is facing the dilemma this Christmas where she has to pick between her twin sister, my auntie, and

four other people in our family. What, so they've given your mum an ultimatum? So there's an ultimatum happening in my family at the moment. We always have Christmas lunch at our place. Yeah. So everyone comes around, mainly my mum's side. Yeah. They all come around and we have a great-

Is your auntie on your mum's side? Yes. Yes. So my mum's twin sister has been dating this guy. She was dating him for a fair while and there was a bit of a debacle that went down between the guy she was dating and my cousin, my first cousin, my auntie's daughter and my auntie's son's girlfriend. Anyway.

Sorry to not be able to follow the family tree perfectly. The outside guy, so the guy who is dating your auntie, Yes. has offended multiple people within the family. Exactly.

Okay. And it was, When? So this was probably about eight months ago. So this year? This year. Unresolved?

Unresolved. It was full on. He had to be dragged out of the house. Oh. Yeah, it was full on. There was to be dragged out of the house. Oh. Yeah, it was full on. There was drinks involved.

Yeah. Anyway, my auntie ended up breaking up with him. Yeah. And then months later she's decided she wants to get back together with him. How awkward is it when a friend or a loved one has a breakup and you say to them, thank God you've broken up with that person. We always hated him. And then they end up back together.

Yes, that's right. And then you've got to eat your words and you've got to go, oh, I'm glad you guys worked it out. So that doesn't happen in our family. Right. People stand by what they say. And pretty much she has said, I want to bring my boyfriend to Christmas. And my mum said, okay.

And then from the rest of the family, they said, well, we're not coming. Why would you want to go if you were the dude? That's what I think. Because, we're not coming. Why would you want to go if you were the dude? That's what I think. Because obviously you're not liked. Yeah. And it's because of something you've done. Wouldn't you just want to sit it out?

If I was him, so this is what's happened. He hasn't apologised. No. So he doesn't think he was in the wrong. Yeah. And I'm telling you now, I can't really say what happened, but he was in the wrong. And he still wants to come to where all these people are going to be.

Yeah, it's confusing. So now my mum's kind of like in this predicament where she goes, do I either say to her sister, yes, bring him, and then multiple people from our family won't show up, or does she say, no, you can't bring him, and then maybe her sister, her twin sister doesn't get to come. Do you know what I would do? What would you do? I'd do the second one.

I'd say either he apologises or you can't bring him to Christmas. Yeah. It's her problem. That's the thing. And she's making, oh, but that's hard when it's family. But I would say you get your boyfriend under control. Right. Or there's no seat for him at Christmas.

It's hard when he doesn't think he did anything wrong though. What would you do? How would you sort it out? Put yourself in your mum's position. She's the host. It's her sister. How would you sort Christmas? Because this is the problem

if you're the host too. It's your job to keep everybody happy. Yeah. What would you do? And I know how close my mum and her sister are. Yeah.

I said off air when we were talking about this earlier, I was like, well, wouldn't you pick the option where, you know where more people get to come? The path of least resistance. Yeah.

Yes, normally. But if it's your sister. Oh, it's your twin sister. It's your twin sister. That's the other bit too. I really don't know. Who's going to finish her? Sentences.

Yeah. Yeah, I really don't know. I don't know. And I bet this kind of drama happens in a lot of families. Oh, well. You know, there's always, you know. Oh, yeah. The little gripes and people hold grudges and.

Tis the season to be bickering. Tis the season. I don't know what's going to happen. Let's, let's fight. Let's, let's just. What? What? I was going to say, will this make you feel better if you hear from other people who this

is happening to? This is what I want. Okay. Awkward in-laws this Christmas. Yes. Who's coming to Christmas that maybe you don't want to be there. Maybe you're going to is happening to. This is what I want, okay? Awkward in-laws this Christmas. Yes. Who's coming to Christmas that maybe you don't want to be there? Maybe you're going to avoid talking to?

Maybe they're just a bit of a weirdo in the family and you're like, oh, why did you bring that guy into our circle by dating him? Who is it? Why don't you like him? Merry Christmas. Ring up and tell us.

Oh, $800 at M. There's some, you know, Thomas L family Christmas drama. How would you sum it up? Pretty much my auntie's dating someone who some people in our family don't like and they're saying if she brings him, we don't want to come. That's pretty much it. Does she know that? She knows.

Trust me, when they broke up for a bit, we all told her what we thought. Let's see who else is in your situation. Hi, Rebecca. Hi. Who's the awkward addition at family Christmas this year? Oh, this is so mean. So it's my mother and, no, not my mother. Well, she'll be my stepmother, I guess.

My dad's partner. Your dad's partner. Yeah, so he's 57. And he's dating her. She's partner. Yeah, so he's 57 and he's dating her who, she's 26. And I'm going to be turning 26 in like a few days. That is always so weird. Yeah, we're going to be the same age. Is mum going to be at Christmas?

Yep. Mum's going to be there too. How does mum feel about it? Her new husband. Oh, so she's remarried? She's remarried, yeah. So that's all good. She's all happy, but feel about it? With her husband, her new husband. Oh, so she's remarried? She's remarried, yeah. So that's all good. She's all happy.

But it's still really... How old's her new husband, 21? Oh, man, no. They would just be like the icing on the cake to this dysfunctional family I have. Sounds like you should do a Christmas lunch and a Christmas dinner, Rebecca. Nah. You know what?

I'm going to be like, Christmas is cancelled. You guys, it's. You know what? I'm going to be like, Cam, Christmas is cancelled. You guys are just too weird for me. I'm over it. I was going to say you should do a live stream from your house. Could be the most entertaining thing on the internet on Christmas Day. Prashana?

Oh, it's Prashna. Prashna. Sorry, I am the worst. You know what? Someone messaged the other day. That was a good effort. No, no, no, no, no. It's not good enough. Someone messaged the other day and they said, why is Clint so shit with names? It's because this screen is so far away from me and I refuse to go and get an eye test.

So... It is pretty far. For that, I apologise. Prashna. Yes, that's me. Who's going to be the awkward addition at Christmas? Well, the thing is, it's actually not someone that's related to me.

I'm an only child. And mum just picks up people, strangers, really. Two years ago, it was someone from the service station. Yeah. She's quite a friendly lady, so she just chats. Yeah. And then, yeah, get around Christmas time, she goes, oh, so-and-so from

here's coming, I go, who? Someone from the service station. A couple of years before that was someone from the supermarket. And this year they've picked up someone from around the road who they've met on a walk, walking the dog. Right. Beautiful sentiment, but I can understand

how on Christmas Day, maybe you just want to relax with your family, right? Yeah, it's just kind of weird. I'm like, I literally don't know these people from a bar of soap in there in my house. She's got the Christmas spirit, though. The Christmas spirit's there. I know, I know.

I need to know, do the people who get invited like the year before, do they all just start piling up and do they get to keep coming or is it just one year only? Yeah, once you're in, you're in. It's like just one year only. We treat. The gas station guy comes back and she's like, sorry.

Sorry, your time's over. One time invite. Your spot's been filled. And what kind of food is served on Christmas Day at your place, Prashna? I always demand a turkey. That's my absolute favourite. And how can I get an invite to this Christmas?

Oh, just come and, like, walk around the street. Walk around semi-aimlessly and mum will pick you up. Great. I look forward to meeting your family. We don't have a solution for your family, but I am excited to see how this ends up. I'll keep you updated. I'll let you know what happens.

Today is a really shit day to be a New Zealander. Let's not sugarcoat it. Let's not dance around the topic. Today is one of those days where the same conversation is happening in, I think, every workplace and family group around the country talking about what happened in New Zealand to Grace Mullane. It's a weird thing how something like this can really take over an entire country. And I woke up this morning and I'm sure a lot of Kiwis did and they felt the same.

And it feels sad. Yep. And I feel like a lot of Kiwis are really, really sad today for Grace's family and for her and for New Zealand as a country. I think a lot of New Zealanders are really embarrassed and really gutted that it happened here. The Prime Minister has just spoken on it for the first time. These are words from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. You know, from the Kiwis I have spoken to, there is this overwhelming sense of hurt and shame that this has happened in our

country a place that prides itself on our hospitality on our manaakitanga especially to those who are visiting our shores and so on behalf of New Zealand I want to apologise to Grace's family. Your daughter should have been safe here and she wasn't and I'm sorry for that. It's hard to listen to. It's hard to listen to. It's hard to talk about. I find it hard to talk about without getting angry

and I know you find it hard to talk about without getting really upset. Yeah. What is it that upsets you the most about it? I think what upsets me the most about it? I think what upsets me the most is that you should feel safe in this country. This is an amazing country and we should feel safe and we don't. And it's when stuff like this happens that makes me realise that it could happen to anyone, you know, and I was walking home on Friday night after this story was breaking and it's been happening over the last week and I was walking home like I always

do from Ponsonby Road to my house, which is really close, and I started to run because I was scared and that breaks my heart for a lot of women who would be watching this story unfold and we can't help it but be scared now, you know, and we shouldn't have to be. You shouldn't have to. And to be honest, Clint, working with you, I feel so lucky to have you as a colleague and as one of my friends. And you posted something really, really important today on your social media, which meant a lot to me and I think shows you as a man standing up for something and showing your voice and I encourage everyone listening right now.

Can I read a bit? Is that okay if I read a bit? Yeah, if you want to, yeah. Clint, you posted on your social media today, men, if you're angry about what happened to Grace Mullayne remember it was a man who did this to her a man who somewhere along the line was allowed to think that women are objects for men to own and to destroy he would have expressed that belief in his words actions or attitudes long before december thest and he would have done that around other men. We've all heard, maybe even said, derogatory things about women before, at work, footy or

with our mates, but it has to stop. It's our job as men to call that out for what it is, women hating, and to tell other men that it's not okay. I know it's a big leap from calling a woman a derogatory term to killing her, but it comes from the same place and it has to stop. Stand up, be a man, make a difference, be an ally. It's powerful. Yeah. That's what I truly feel about this.

And the conversation naturally will bend towards she shouldn't have been travelling alone she shouldn't have been on dating apps no a man shouldn't have killed her is what it comes down to and I'm so proud to sit

beside someone who is willing we're willing to put our voice and use our platform to something where we might cop hate for that. We might, you know, people will write in and they will say, you know, you're doing the wrong thing and that's not the case. But it's fact and it needs to stop. Someone abused their power.

Someone is dead who is innocent. And if you don't talk about it with your friends, if you don't talk about this with your boys about the reason why this happened, then nothing's going to change. So if we can at least get a conversation going around it, then hopefully this stupid, senseless, horrible event isn't for nothing.

Be the change, use your voice, and hopefully grace can be remembered in the right way. Yep. That's it, New Zealand. Bree and Clint on ZM. We are very lucky because this is our last week of work. I know. We are super lucky.

We get to go on a nice early Christmas holiday. You're going to go home to Australia? Yeah. Yeah, nice. We have our producers in the studio with us at the moment. Ben and Ellie. Hey, guys. How are you?

Hello, hello. Hello, guys. We're good. How are you? Good. The brains behind the brain clint operation. Without them, nothing happens. So.

I'm not sure you meant to agree so quickly, but... Yeah, no, you guys saw. Yep, anything else? You've got something for us. Yeah, so obviously we've been on here for six, maybe five months now. Yep. I thought it'd be fun to look back at the year this week,

five months and five days. Oh. So I've chucked an audio package together. Ellie, myself and a few others around here have been working on it. Oh, I'm so excited. I know, and it's awesome. But what it will require is you guys to leave your mics on because it's interactive.

Alright. You'll be prompted. You'll get what it means in a minute. This is a radio first. Should we be worried about this? No, no, no. Okay. This is a nice thing. This is a nice thing. Okay, cool, cool, cool. This one here? The top one, yep. Yeah, okay. Now? Yep, whenever you're ready, mate. Whenever you're ready to smile, you hit it. So this is taking a look back at the five months that we've been on air. There you go.

Here we go. Bree and Clint. The past six months have been full of highs. Brianna's amazing. She's hysterical. Did Jenny Tatum just say I'm amazing? Holy s***. What the hell's going on?

And Lowe's. Should I call you Dad for the rest of the show? Give it a go. Fire it off, Dad. Daddy. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. And everything in between. The Leaper.

Leaper. I barely even know her. But would it be fair to say you're now best mates? Yes. Yeah. You've come a long way, Brie Thomas-Elm. And you're already one of New Zealand's

favourite radio couples. Put down the laptop. I'm so angry! Full of trust and respect for each other. When was the last time you got to hear Michael Jackson on ZM? Let's hear your best hee-hee. Hee-hee. And your audience. Please lock in a movie and then you know the time frame. you got to hear Michael Jackson on ZM. Let's hear your best hee-hee. Hee-oh.

And your audience. At least lock in a movie and then you know the time frame. He doesn't need much to be fair. From all of your listeners. Thanks heaps guys. Bree and Clint,

we love you. You guys are awesome. Thank you so much. Thanks for showing up. Bree and Clint, thank you for an amazing year, and we can't wait for 2019. Oh, wait. Hang on. There's another page

to this script. But one of you has been hiding a secret. Shut the hell up! This is your chance to come clean.

You have ten seconds to speak up. Or else. Oh my god. What's the secret? You tell us. I don't have a secret. Maybe I've got a secret, I don't know! Do you?

I don't have a secret. Maybe I've got a secret. I don't know. Do you? I don't have a secret that's relevant to this conversation. If you don't have a secret, play the second part. Brian, I need you to sit down. Jesus Christ, you make me look like a bad person sometimes. What are you talking about? Evil. Just think. I've done it 16 times!

When I figure it out, I'll let you know. Producer Ellie, you're here with our celebrities. Can you confirm for me that Brie knows none of them? Yeah, why just confirm that I know none of them? Because I've been losing, mate. Clearly I haven't been cheating. The only reason I would win is if I cheat. This is Halsey. Cheating is cheating, though.

It is. Wait a minute. The following audio was secretly recorded two months ago. What do you guys think? Like, I could win, but I'm just saying if we rig it for the next how many weeks, he will probably win anyway. But it just makes it more exciting. But, like, he doesn't know, so.

He can't know. Yeah, no, he can't. It's not worth it. So this is the thing. It needs to not be super obvious. What's the best way to do it? You've been cheating. You have cheated your way to an epic comeback

in our celebrity guessing game, the Insta Fame game. I knew, I knew I had an unassailable lead. I knew I was going to take that competition out and I knew there was no way you could win six games in a row. Can I just say that audio proves nothing? It was a conversation that happened. Who's to say if we went through with it? I mean, I'm 50-50 of it.

I'm part of it, aren't I? You're in on it. You're in on it. And you're in on it. That's all the good feels out the window. God damn it. Bree and Clint on Zit-In. Bree's mum, I don't like you and she likes everyone.

Away's a dilemma for my mother. Is it fair to say, Mama Di, it's your least favourite game that we play? Oh, look, Clint, honestly, I'm just about, like, really. I reckon if you don't give prizes to both of them today, I'm not happy. She did ask for that last week, didn't she? You did. I know. I can not happy. She did ask for that last week, didn't she? You did.

I know. I can tell you that the changes you've requested have not been implemented this week. Oh. You built me up and then you just cut me down. But think about it in the spirit of Christmas mum and I. You're going to be able to give somebody the gift of pizza. Hell pizza.

$40 hell pizza vouchers up for grabs. The best gift. The best gift. The best gift. All you have to do is tell them that you don't like them. Let's meet one of them first of all. Her name is Bianca. Hi, Bianca.

Hi. Hi. How are you, Mama Di? Hi, Bianca. That's a beautiful name. Oh, thanks, Mama Di. I just love that name. It was nearly a Brianna, but Brianna won out.

Yeah, they're very similar. Brianna's a good name, too. Do you have a question for Bianca, Mama Di? Yeah, I do, Bianca. What's your most favourite thing you look forward to eating at Christmas time? Oh, I think it would have to be my mum's banoffee pie. She makes a really good banoffee pie. Oh, really?

Yeah, she does. She's the queen at it. And I'm so upset because I'm going to miss out on it this year. Oh, she's tugging on the heartstrings. Pizza would be good, wouldn't it, Bianca? Yeah, I'm going to put Bianca on hold and bring Danielle on.

Hi, Danielle. Hello. You're on with Mama on. Hi, Danielle. Hello. You're on with Mum and Di. Hi, Mum and Di. Hi, Danielle. How are you going? Oh, good, thank you. How are you?

Yeah, good. Better that I'm talking to you. Stop trying to butter them up, Mum. Same question for Danielle. Yes, what is the most favourite thing you look forward to eating at Christmas time? It would have to be pavlova and truffle.

How good is this Christmas truffle? That's wonderful too. Classic Kiwi invention, the pavlova. Yeah, well that's a bit of a debate, isn't it? Don't get us started. Mama Di,

we're going to give you the mandatory 15 seconds To decide who you don't like The person you don't like Will get $40 of Hell Pizza No, no, Clint, it's Christmas time How can I do that? You're the Grinch, Mum

You're about to tell someone just before Christmas You don't like them I tell you what, Mama Di If you follow through And tell one of them you don't like them, you've still got to do one, I'll give them both hell pizza. But you have to say, I don't like, and then their name. That makes it a lot easier if you're giving it to both of them. Yeah.

You can say, I don't like both of them. Well, I like both of them. No, that's not the rule. If you say I don't like both of them, we'll hook them both up with hell pizza. Okay, I don't like both of them. Bree's mum, I don't like you and she likes everyone.

Oh, guys, that's so sad what Bree's mum just said to you. I'm heartbreaking on a guy. Oh, Lord, Bianca. What Bree's mum just said to you? I'm heartbreaking on the drive. Oh, Lord, Bianca. It's that time of the year where all the lists come out, where we reminisce about the year that was, and we look at the most streamed songs on Spotify. It's fun, too, because something comes up from January,

and you go, oh, I remember when we were all doing the In My Feelings dance. Yeah. How stupid did we look? And then remember in August when people were still doing it? They were on it a bit late. Yeah. Well, today I've got the top watch YouTube videos in New Zealand for 2018.

Okay, cool. Which there was quite a big list and I've taken the ones that I think are the most relevant for all of us. Yes. So if you weren't on YouTube, there was a few in there that you probably wouldn't really recognise. So I've got the top six. Yes. So if you weren't on YouTube, there was a few in there that you probably wouldn't really recognise. So I've got the top six. Nice. Number six, this was

pretty interesting actually and he had a massive year when Julian Dennison was on The Late Show. You mentioned that you were too young to see the movie. Yeah. Does that apply in New Zealand? Yeah, yeah. So I'm 15 and it's R16 in New Zealand. And like a few of my mates got kicked out of the cinema as well.

I like to hear that there's stupid red tape in countries other than ours. I really do. I don't know why. That makes me feel better about things. That's quite cool, eh? Which is very cool. Good on Julian Dennison. So many views here in New Zealand.

See, he's in Hawaii on his Instagram with Millie Bobby Brown. Yeah, cool, eh? So cool. He's hitting it big. What about this part of the year? Yes, it was this year that the Yanny and Laurel debate happened. Do you hear Yanny? Laurel.

Laurel. Or Laurel? Laurel. What are you hearing? Laurel. Laurel. Same. Yeah.

Producers, are you hearing Laurel? Are you guys hearing Yanny or Laurel? I've got Laurel. Yeah. Ellie? You got both. I can choose what I Laurel? I've got Laurel. Yeah. Ellie? You got both. I can choose what I want to hear. Does that make sense?

Yeah. Why are we sparking this back up? Do you hear? I know, right? In at number four was when Logan Paul released his sorry video. I've made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgment, and I don't expect to be forgiven. I'm simply here to apologize.

His sorry, not sorry video. Yeah. That was the video, correct me if I'm wrong, but he did like real like gratuitous angles and slow-mos of himself in the sorry video. Is that the one? Yeah, it was strange and that whole thing was just really bizarre.

He's like one of the biggest stars on YouTube, if not the biggest. You know he's still making tens of millions of dollars. Oh, I know. Yeah. Yeah, crazy. I mean, everyone makes mistakes, but, you know, that was huge this year on YouTube.

In at number three, the royal wedding, the bad lip reading video. So how many animals would you say you've probably killed? You think I've kept count? Absolutely. 1693 giraffes. Do you remember that? You're right. It was. Not yet. 1693 giraffes. Do you remember that? You're right. It was.

Not yet. Holla. So good. Because we didn't know what they were saying. No. So it was like you had to make it up for yourself what Prince Harry and Prince William were saying at the altar. Absolutely brilliant.

In at number two was the Kylie and Travis baby announcement. Yeah, we're going in. And we're waiting for you, Kylie. Oh, my God. There you go. I for you, Kylie. Oh, my God. There you go. I've been waiting for you. Oh, my God. Did you see that video?

Yeah. Yeah, I did. There's one with the VHS filter over it and stuff. That was the second most watched YouTube video. It was a cool video as far as the baby announcement goes. More exciting than when someone gets like two hair ties and then a smaller hair tie and they put it inside one of the hair ties. I mean, still good.

I mean, that's good too. Hey, it's your news. Announce it however you like. Yeah, exactly. Maybe you don't have a full-time videographer like Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott. With millions of dollars. Maybe you have to put a picture of a bun in an oven as your announcement. And that's cool too.

Still funny. Congratulations if you have just done that. The number one most watched YouTube video in New Zealand for 2018 was this kid. No. Yep. Yodeling kid.

Yodeling kid. This is the most, this is what we watched the most. This was the most watched. He's so famous now from that one video. Yeah. He really needs a follow-up single though, if I'm honest. Yeah.

All right. Maybe he can do Wagon Wheel. Someone in this show has been caught in a lie. And I don't like saying this, but ladies and gentlemen, we have a liar in our midst. Bree, who do you think is a liar on this show? Probably me. Oh, well done.

You picked it first time. On Fridays, we do a thing called chat roulette, where we go into each other's phones and we pull out a random contact and we call them. I had your phone on Friday and I called your friend Emily. Yes. You agreed, live on Friday and I called your friend Emily. Yes? You agreed, live on the radio, to something with Emily. It sounded a lot like this. You want to go bottomless brunch?

That's perfect. That's on tomorrow. You could go tomorrow. Do you want to go tomorrow? I'll do that. Yeah, tomorrow sounds good. Tomorrow, she'll be in an Uber outside your place at 11.30 and then you guys are off down to the vineyard for bottomless brunch.

I'm going to be hungover. Perfect. I got a to be hungover. Perfect. I got a message from Emily on Sunday. She said, ask Bree how brunch went. So here we are. How did brunch go with your friend Emily? It was delightful.

Did it happen? No. The reason I threw you into that situation is because when I spun her up, you said, oh my God, that's my friend Emily. I've been blowing her off for ages and not going. She's wanted to hang out and I've been cancelling. Not on purpose. I arranged it for you. It couldn't have been easier.

Oh, you just arranged it for literally the morning after our work Christmas party. What a great decision. You were home by 1am from the Christmas party, which for you is like getting home at 7.30 for regular people. So what's your excuse? I just didn't want to go. Let me just hone in on a small part of that conversation um this is this is the bit that because if you'd just gone oh why'd you do that and argue with me wouldn't matter i just want to hone in on this little bit where you said this and we've slowed it down i'll do that yeah

tomorrow sounds good i'll do. I didn't specify what. Did you tell her that you weren't coming? I did. Did you? I'd messaged her. Well, let me check. Because I said you'd be outside her house at 11.30 in an Uber. On Friday, I said you'd be there the next day at 11.30 on Saturday.

What are you doing to me? When did you cancel? Because I want to know if she had started to get ready, if she'd started to put on nice clothes. I want to know what level of excitement she'd got to hang out with her friend Bree before you whipped the rug out from under her. She wrote, I can't wait for brunch. What day? This was at Saturday, 127 in the morning.

Okay, cool. So she's on the same schedule as you. Apparently, I wrote back at 129 saying haha mate i'll be asleep peace
