Hello everybody and welcome to the second to last Brian Clint podcast of 2020. I'm just watching a video my partner just sent me. It's Whitney at the beach for the first time ever. Is she losing her dog biscuits? She's scared of the water. Is she? Yeah, well she's never seen it before so she's like, what the hell is that? Yeah, it would be weird. But she's enjoying digging in the sand. It always buzzes me out when i hear of people who have never seen the beach

yeah i know that was i think it's like some people have never seen the beach until a certain age and then a lot of people have never seen snow snow yeah like i never saw snow until i was 25 it's buzzy the first time you say it was amazing and people who are from snow places are like chill out man yeah that's weird that it's just it's, man. Yeah, that's weird that you've never seen it. It's just snow. Can you calm down? You're like, I've never seen this before. It's awesome.

It's not as soft as I thought it was going to be. Depends. Does it? Depends if there's heaps of powder. Oh, I've never been in a powdery snow. Oh, you haven't? No. Because when it's really powdery,

you can literally fall over and you sink in and it's real soft, but it can be real icy too. It snows sometimes in Christchurch, where Ben and Anastasia are from. Did you guys ever have a snow day where school was called off? It's the worst. It's bad? Well, as a horse owner.

Oh. You've got to feed them every couple of hours and put on 20 million covers. They don't have a barn? Oh, we only had like a double stable, but we had like six. Mum was going through a real crazy horse lady phase, so we had like six. Crazy horse lady. Six horses. What did you do with six horses?

I don't know. We rode a couple. We've got six at the moment. Do you? Yeah. What do you six at the moment. Do you? Yeah. What do you guys do with your horses? Muster. My dad camp drafts a lot.

He's a camp drafter, which I don't know if that's a thing in New Zealand, but essentially it's like a horse sport where you have like a round kind of arena and then you have like teenage-sized cows. And then the aim of the game is you get in there on a horse, and you have to get one of the calves away. And then you say, pull, and they open the fence, and then you have to get that one calf out, and then you chase it around these couple of barrels. Damn.

It's really hard. We do it with dogs and sheep. No, we do that too. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But, sorry, snow days are awesome, but it's kind of like one of those things, it's only a couple of days.

You know, it's snowed where I'm from a couple of times. Really? But it's not meant to. No. Since I've been alive, it's snowed twice. Buzzy. Like enough where they could be like, we've got snow. Yeah, right.

Yeah. Oh, there you go. Has it ever snowed in Auckland? No. Never? No. I don't think so. I think there would be some seriously bad global warming issues

if it snowed in Auckland. Yeah. So, yeah. Okay. Here's the podcast. We've got to go to dinner. We're going to dinner. Enjoy it, everybody.

We'll see you back tomorrow. For the last show. The last podcast of the year show The last podcast of the year The last show of the year That was smooth Alexa, play ZM on iHeart Radio.

Someone said that you said I had a rash. Someone came up to me at the school event and they said, do you have a rash? I said no. And they said, well, the people on the radio said that you've got a rash. I don't recall saying that. I don't recall that. Why is having a rash so gross, eh? Yeah, and to be honest.

We all get rashes. A rash is not even, you know. We all get rashes. It depends where the rash came from. It's just an so gross, eh? Yeah, and to be honest... We all get rashes. A rash is not even... We all get rashes. It depends where the rash... It's just an allergic reaction, okay? Do you think it depends on the... Where the rash is? Location of the rash.

Is a rash on your... Where's like the... You know when you have a rash on your foot? It's like... You know like athlete's foot? People are like, oh my god! Leg rash isn't particularly attractive either. No.

Where is the most attractive place to have a rash? Not on your face. Not on your face. No. Not on your neck. Somewhere nice and concealed and somewhere that it's not inappropriate to itch in public. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm like, boob, no. Stomach, no.

Underarm, no. I'm like, there's nowhere no. Stomach, no. Underarm, no. I'm like, there's nowhere good to get a rash. Underarm rash, that's the worst. That's horrible. Bumcheek, bad place to get a rash. Anyway, I don't have a rash. Okay, that's enough rash. Not anymore.

I've never seen a Clint. I've never seen a Clint. We got sent one to work like three weeks ago. Yeah, that doesn't count. It was specially made for us. It doesn't count. I've never gone into Zed or Mobile and gone, oh, share a Coke with Clint. Maybe they exist.

I haven't seen it. Right. Coke are in the news today because they have to take off the cans that say mum and bub. What is it? Does it say that on one can? Yeah, I think it does. It's like share a coke with. It's like a I don't know why they have to do it

but you'd be pissed off if you had a name that you never had on a coke can then all of a sudden you're like, oh my god, I'm a mum now there's a can for me. Now they've got to take it away. See ya. Did you grow up with your name printed on things? Were you the sort of person who could go to Dreamworld and get the key ring?

Nah. Nah? I could never find a pen or a key ring because my name is not a super common name. Brianna. Yeah. And it's spelt like, you know, the least common way. Yeah. Thanks, mum and dad.

Yeah. So it's like B-R-I-A-N-N-A. So I always used to say B-R-I-A-N-A. Oh, okay. Or B-R-E. What about Brie? Surely there's Brie on things. Yeah, but I never ever got called Brie until I was probably 14.

Oh, right. Yeah, I never had that nickname. And then it was too late. Then you didn't want your dream world to key in. And then I don't want that stuff anymore. No. Yeah. What, did you have that stuff?

No. But if a- Clinton. Yeah. Clinton's quite common. Is it? Yeah. Do you think?

There'll be some names out there where you just go, I'm not even going to look. Like there's a chance. I'm not going to bother looking. There is a chance yours and my name could be on stuff. That's what I mean. There's always a chance. There'll be something out there,

but then there's some people whose names. There's not a chance. There's just no chance whatsoever. There's no chance, yeah. That's who we want to talk to this afternoon. Are you someone who never gets their name printed on things? And have you come to terms with it? Like do you know?

So that's one thing we can put it on. Close enough. I want to know this afternoon, do you have a name that never gets printed on anything? There's no chance you're getting a novelty keyring.

what? Maybe it'll save you a lot of money. Yeah. Stuff you don't need. It's because you're unique and different. Caller number one, what's your name that never goes on anything? I'm ringing for my little sister, Jessica.

Neith. Neith liked it. Yes. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. The biggest story in showbiz today is Tom Cruise absolutely losing the plot on the set of Mission Impossible. Dean, what's the deal?

Guys, this is one of those stories. You see them every couple of years, a huge celebrity secretly recorded going off their brain at someone. Today, it was secret audio of Tom Cruise on the set of Mission Impossible 7 going ballistic at the staff. Now, let's have a little listen to the audio and then let's talk about why this has divided Hollywood. I don't ever want to see it again, ever. And they're looking at us and using us to make

their movies. We are creating thousands of jobs, you f***ing***ers. And if you don't do it, you're fired. And if I see you do it again, you're f***ing gone. That's it. And you too. And you too. And you. Could we ever f***ing do it again? Whoa. Whoa.

It sounds like he's acting. Okay. Let me give you. Oh, yeah, I know, right? It's like a scene from the movie. Let me give you the context. They were the first big movie to start filming again when COVID happened. Okay, so this was the one everyone in Hollywood the movie. Let me give you the context. They were the first big movie to start filming again when COVID happened. Okay, so this was the one everyone in Hollywood was watching.

All the producers, everyone was watching this film to see how well they could pull this off. Was everyone going to get infected? Were they going to spread it among the thing? Was this going to be the film that would decide whether Hollywood would come back to life or not? And it was. And what happened was some of the staff on set were all hanging out together in like a little group, in like a little huddle. He caught them together within six feet of each other, and that's when he went ballistic. And if you listen to the rest of the audio, he talks about the fact that,

you know, this movie is going to create millions of jobs, and what he's talking about is the whole industry were waiting for this movie to get it right, and they had to get it right. So when he saw them going, oh hanging out you know, breaking COVID rules oh man he reminded me so much of I'm Team Tom, of an old teacher I had

he has that vibe about him eh? it's like a teacher walking in and being like what are you kids doing? I think Team Tom is right Dean, I think he might be the hero in this story also Mission Impossible 7 how are they up to seven? The mission must be really, really hard. How many impossible missions can they have?

Guys, it's in the title. You're not going to achieve your mission. That's the latest. Move on already. Brought to you by Social Drinks Co. Low sugar, low carb, summer seltzer in a can. Talkback host Marcus Lush.

He's the guy who called out that lady for being racist on you. He's also the guy who had to do his whole show on the phone

because he got locked out of the studio one time. And he also owns that soap store. Marcus Lush. Oh, I love that.

Gotty. He has tweeted what the worst five foods of Christmas are. And this stuff gets me going. I like talking about this. Let's see if we think Marcus Lush has nailed the five worst foods of Christmas.

What's he putting up? Number one, trifle. Nah. Nah. Trifle's good. He's way off the mark. He's way out of line with that. Why don't we eat trifle any other time of year?

I don't know. Why is trifle specifically a Christmas thing? Probably because it's like so sugary and so bad. I love trifle. I love my mum's trifle. Yeah, every family

has their own special way of doing it. Mum made her trifle for us on the weekend and it was Christmas in my mouth. Okay, number two of the five worst foods

of Christmas, eggnog. I've had eggnog a few times. I could take it or leave it. Does it have egg in it? I'm pretty sure, yeah. Does it? Well, it's creamy.

Why would you want to drink a drink with egg in it? Yeah, I don't know. Because usually it has alcohol in it. Yeah, right. Okay, it can stay on the list. Number three, Turkish delight. I like Turkish delight. I like Turkish delight as well.

Not a Christmas food, though. Not a Christmas food though. Not a Christmas food so I don't know what he's on about there. Number four, he's got this right. Candy canes are one of the worst

foods of Christmas. Okay, controversial. Yeah. Peppermint candy canes can get out. Yeah. Go away. Yeah.

But the sweet ones? Oh, the fruity ones. The fruit, like strawberry or raspberry candy canes? I'm here for it. The only good thing about a candy cane is sucking it until it becomes a dagger. Should it be?

Yeah, then it's dangerous. Should it just be a decoration? Candy canes. Yeah. I do like the sweet, fruity tasting ones, though. And number five on the worst foods of Christmas, shortbread. Yeah, I agree. Where the hell is fruitcake?

It's number one on the worst Christmas foods. No. No, you're a Christmas Grinch if you hate fruitcake. Fruitcake isn't a dessert. It's a doorstop. Fruitcake is wonderful and it lasts for so long. You know why? Because it's meant to be in the bin.

And you don't have to refrigerate it. It's horrible. Okay, you can have fruitcake. Fruitcake's mine. Get rid of it. Let's go to Anastasia. It's horrible. Okay, you can have fruitcake. Fruitcake's mine. Get rid of it. Let's go to Anastasia. What's the worst food of Christmas? Can we have the same ones?

If you need to. Yeah, that list is rather accurate. I'm going to add something else. Mulled wine. Mulled wine? I know that in New Zealand it's obviously summer, but it's still kind of a Christmas thing. But I, as an adult, thought I was going to enjoy it, but nah, it's just gross.

You don't like hot wine? No. Not good to have when it's hot. Ben, what's the worst food of Christmas? Probably those little Christmas fruit pies. Oh yeah, they're hot. No, they're fantastic as well. They're the reason for the season. Mince pies. Get out. Anyway,

Christmas is all about the food, everybody. You need to add yours in. Oh. Turkey. What? Turkey. If turkey was good, you would eat it at other times of year, but you don't because it's not.

Why don't you eat fruitcake then? Fruitcake, yeah. Because it's special. No, no. Sometimes relationships are hard. Fruitcake, yeah. Because it's special. No, no. Bree and Clint. Sometimes relationships are hard. You get annoyed at each other for things that aren't each other's fault. Yeah.

But you need to get annoyed at someone. Yeah. And that's exactly what a situation a guy from Brisbane has found himself in by the name of Drenzel McCann. That's a cool name, Drenzel. When he made a video about all the things his girlfriend was upset at him for that he believed was completely out of his control. Take a listen. Reasons my girlfriend has been upset with me. Number one, Coles didn't have her favourite lolly,

sour worms to be exact. That was my fault. I should have made sure that Coles stocked up on their sour worms before we went. Completely my bad. Number two, she had a dream that I killed her. Again, my fault. I should have made sure that Coles stopped up on their cell before we went. Completely my bad. Number two, she had a dream that I killed her. Again, my fault. I shouldn't have killed her in her dream.

Number three, she stubbed her toe on the corner of my bed. That was my fault again. I shouldn't have put my bed there. I'll make sure for next time that I don't have my bed there. Number four, she wanted to go to the beach, but it started raining so we couldn't go. My bad. I should have told Mother Teresa to keep it sunny that day

so we could go swimming. I'll make sure for next time that i give it a lot more notice and number five i rolled away from her when i was sleeping dead man walking hey yeah he is a dead man well he didn't realize that it was going to go so viral and now she's found out about it hasn't she classic though that, the dream one especially. The dream one, every couple has been there before. But it's usually a cheating one. You wake up. They cheated on you in the dream.

And they've cheated on you in the dream. And you wake up and it was so real that you're like, why did you do that? I'm angry at you. I'm angry at you. I can't park these feelings. They were real feelings, even though it was only a dream. I also like the one that was his fault that the supermarket didn't have the lollies.

Well, he should have known. He should have called ahead. Everyone knows that. Yeah, right. We want to ask people, do you want to have a vent about something? Ridiculous. What did your partner get upset at you for that was just ridiculous? Well, what did you get upset with them for?

Oh, yeah. And they don't understand. What is 100% your partner's fault? That's exactly what it is. 0800 dial ZM or text to 9696. You can name them. You can blame them. You can shame them on our show this afternoon.

What is 100% your partner's fault? Bree and Clint. We want to know what's 100% your partner's fault. Yeah, what was definitely all their fault. You blamed them and they need to take responsibility. This guy's seen what his girlfriend has mad at him for. Reasons my girlfriend has been upset with me. Number one, Coles didn't have her favourite lolly,

sour worms to be exact. That was my fault. I should have made sure that Coles stocked up on their sour worms before we went. Completely my bad. Number two, she had a dream that I killed her. Again, my fault i should have made sure that coals uh stocked up on their cell when before we went completely my bad number two she had a dream that i killed her uh again my fault i shouldn't have killed it in her dream number three she stopped her toe on the corner of my bed that was my fault again i shouldn't have put my bed there uh i'll make sure for next time that i don't have my bed there number four she wanted to go to the beach but it started raining so we couldn't go my bad i should have told mother theresa to keep it sunny that day so we could go swimming.

I'll make sure for next time that I give her a lot more notice. And number five. I rolled away from her when I was sleeping. How dare he. I got blamed for the kettle not boiling the water hot enough this morning. Did you? Yeah. Well that is your fault.

No that is my fault. Why wouldn't it boil harder? I should have checked. I should have stuck my whole hand in the kettle to check that it was hot enough. Isn't boiling boiling? For the coffee. We want to know this afternoon what's your partner's fault. Hi, Brittany. Hi, Brittany. Hi, guys.

What's 100% definitely your partner's fault? He will eat food off the plate in the fridge and just leave the empty plate in it. No, that actually is his fault. You know, and he wouldn't be doing it intentionally. The thing wouldn't connect in his brain. Oh, no, his excuses is too busy. Brittany, does he do the double whammy and leave like, you know... Too busy.

Leave like a packet of chips with nothing in it in the cupboard or the milk can empty. Why do they do that? Why? Okay, thank you, Brittany. Caitlin, what's 100% your partner's fault? It was my fault. My partner bought a new TV for the flat that I thought was too big

and I just got really upset and I bawled my eyes crying at him. You got up... Wait, what happened? He bought a TV that was too big and I just got really upset and I bawled my eyes crying at him. You got up... Wait, what happened? He bought a TV that was too big. And it wasn't... Yeah, I was stressed for exams and then he came home with this TV and it was too big as a hell.

What's wrong with a big TV? I don't know. At the time, I thought it looked too big against the wall. Oh no, Caitlin. Okay, well that is his fault. He shouldn't have bought such a big TV.

Uncle Lee, is it Uncle Lee? Is that your name? Uncle Lee. Uncle Lee. What's 100% your partner's fault? So every time my partner has a sexy dream, right before things escalate and get super exciting, he wakes up.

Yeah. And that's your fault? Apparently, he can't cheat on me, even subconsciously. Oh, what a smooth criminal. The dream's not even always about you. No, no, no. It's about, yeah, someone else. It's always about someone else.

Oh, it's always about someone else. Oh, right. Well, yeah, that is your fault as well, actually. So good that you know that. He's like, come on, babe. This is the secret time. I was just about to pass Angelina Jolie. Oh, she wanted me real bad.

Bree and Clint. Have yourself a Judith Collins Christmas. What do you reckon Judith Collins is eating on Christmas Day? I'm about to tell you. Oh, she has come out and said. She's given an interview where she's answered this question. Can you please complete this sentence? It's not Christmas without...

What do you think it is? Figgy pudding. Oh. Or a bit of sticky date. No, it's not figgy pudding or sticky date. No? No. Two great desserts.

Yeah, one more guess. It is dessert based. It is dessert? Yeah. Fruitcake. Oh. See, that's you casting aspersions on fruitcake again, so I won't have it.

No? No, I'm just assuming that a lot of people like fruitcake. What is it, Crusher? Judith's world famous cheesecake. Yeah, I have got to make this for my son and husband because that would be very bad if I didn't. Yes, Judith. And the secret is the rum in the topping.

And people wonder why they really like that topping. Oh, boozy cheesecake. Go, Judith. Get it, Judith. That sounds delightful. What do you think Jacinda's specialty is on Christmas Day? I hope she doesn't have to cook. She will cook because she's incredible.

What would she make? You deserve a break, Jacinda. I reckon she'd make a trifle. Oh, yep. I reckon she'd be into the trifle. She'd do a brandy snap. Yep. But she'd use aerosol cream, but the real kind that comes in a can.

Yeah. Because how are you meant to get cream into those brandy snaps without using an aerosol thing? Yeah, that's so true. You complete the sentence now. Are you ready? Okay. Can you please complete the sentence?

It's not Christmas without... A family fight. Yeah, yeah. It's always, even if it's the tiniest thing, always a family argument. That's how you know it's Christmas, yeah. Can you please complete this sentence? It's not Christmas without... Falling asleep at one o'clock in the afternoon

and then waking up just before the food comes out. Yeah. Yeah. No, wait. What? We fall asleep after we eat ourselves into a coma. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good too.

Yeah. That's good stuff. Merry Christmas, everybody. Bree and Clint. Got a bit of animal news. Yeah. Which is, I never knew this, but it's quite a buzzy information. Turns out, I've done some studies at Cornell University, and they've found that bees love

the weed. Do they? They love cannabis pollen. Wow. Are there flowers on a weed plant? There's buds. Yeah, there's buds. Is that the flowers?

I don't know. I don't know. I wouldn't have thought they got... I've never seen one. No. And I mean, this sounds very uneducated, but I didn't know that you pollinated a... But I guess you have to.

It's a plant. Yeah, but you don't pollinate a bush. Do you? No. I think all plants get pollinated, yeah. Really? Yeah. Yeah, right.

I'm pretty sure. Do the bees get stoned from the marijuana pollen? Oh, yeah, mate. Do they? They're like, buzzy. Buzzy. Why do you think they fly around going, buzzy? Isn't that interesting?

Yeah. Yeah, it turns out the cannabis pollen is real, like they're really drawn to it. If they use that pollen to make honey, I wonder if it would be like a, you know, I wonder if you could get, I wonder if you could get weed honey, is basically what I'm asking. Weed honey. Yeah. Apparently the bees can't get high though because they don't have that receptor.

Oh, really? Yeah. Buzzy. Buzzy G. Yeah. Love bees. The saddest thing is seeing a bee in a swimming pool and it's not dead yet.

And you're like, aw. And you fish him out, fish him out of the pool, pop him on the side, hope that he dries out and flies away. He never does. He never does. Apparently you're meant to give them a little dish of sugar water. I also read that this year bee populations are up.

Are they? Which is really, really good. That's positive. Very positive. We planted some flowers just for the bees. Yeah, I have to dodge and weave a million bees to get in my house. Do you? Because they put agapanthers all

beside the path, so every day I'm like, oh, hey, look out! How old are we, by the way? Why? That's a very domesticated conversation that we're having, isn't it? Up next, our shortbread recipe. Stay tuned!ie and clint once upon a time there was a girl she was smart debatable talented athletic not really picking a movie based on just the plot line? That she can do.

There's a story out today and it's off of this tv show that's airing in the uk and it's called the year that change love and it's about this year yeah um and obviously how people met each other how people dated how people have gotten through this year yeah and they followed uh one particular couple uh there's multiple couples on the show, but one particular couple, they're from Scotland and they shared their unusual journey to love.

So essentially what happened to them, their names are Claire and Jade. They met on Tinder. Yeah. A couple of days before this whole thing went... Pear-shaped. Went pear-shaped. Bad timing. Or good timing.

Yeah, so they met on Tinder and they talked for three or four days and they decided they would meet up for a date. Yeah. Anyway, met up for a date. They absolutely hit it off. And it was announced that night that the next day the whole country would be going into full lockdown. Ugh.

Anyway, Claire and Jade, after one date, decided, well, I'm pretty sure I think it's Claire had a job at a bar so she couldn't work. And Jade lived about an hour outside of town so she was like, why don't you just come live with me for the lockdown? Oh, big call. Big call. After one date.

One date. Here's a little clip of them talking about, you know, what it's been like after one date and then isolating together for months and months. Isolated together after one date. Claire was on furlough from her bar job in Edinburgh. So she moved in with Jade, who lives an hour out of town. Kind of thrown the deep end where it was every morning.

You know, usually you have one morning you can escape before they wake up or something. And it was like, no, I'm still here. I'm still here the next again day. So it was every morning. You know, usually you have one morning you can escape before they wake up or something. And it was like, no, I'm still here. I'm still here the next again day. So it was strange. It's not even the moving in together so soon, but that's weird. It's that you're in lockdown together.

You can't go anywhere. You can't go anywhere. This person that you've been on one date with is the only person you're going to see for however many weeks you're locked down. What if they're crazy? Yeah. You don't know?

Well, what if they go number twos with the door open? What if they're that kind of person? Oh, my God, that would be a nightmare. You just don't know. Did it work out for them? So I looked into it and months and months down the track, I think it's been nine or ten months maybe, they're still together. You're right.

It's make or break. Yeah. It's either going to be awesome for your relationship. Or it brings you so close together because you've been through this crazy weird thing. Yeah, yeah. Or you hate each other and you never want to see them again. So apparently, because I don't know what's happening where they are, but apparently they're out of lockdown now and they're actually moving in together now.

Oh, you mean they're making it official? Yeah. Yeah, right. Yeah. So she's, yeah, one of them's not going back to her apartment. She'll just stay there. We want to know this afternoon, did moving in break your relationship up? We don't want happy stories.

We want stories about, oh, my God, this person's great. We've got to start a life together. Let's move in together. Like, did something happen when you moved in? You realize something about them. Yeah. And you're like, I hate this. What was it?

Yeah, or you were together for ages. And then for some reason, the minute you got into living together, the whole thing fell apart. Oh, 800 dials at him. Or you can text us on 9696. Did moving in together break the relationship? Bree and Clint.

Did moving in together make or break you? There's a couple in Scotland who went on one Tinder date just before lockdown hit and then they decided they would lock down together. And eight months later, they're still together. Pretty exciting.

And they're moving in together for real now. Be like, well, I was going to say be like living with a stranger. It is living with a stranger. It is living with a stranger. Do you reckon they did it on the first date? I don't know.

Is that what made them go, oh, we should live together? Maybe. Because imagine they hadn't even done that yet. Maybe they were like, oh, lockdown's going to be a long time. Yeah, you're my last chance. If we move in together. Yeah, we can do this as much as we want. We can, you know, have an arrangement.

So we're asking you this afternoon on 0800DIALZM, did the move-in make or break your relationship? Hi, Sinead. Hi, Sinead. Hi. What happened? So we were together and we moved in and it didn't work out. And now we're actually back together

and we're buying separate houses. Whoa. Whoa. Wait, wait, wait. So you're back together. Yep. But you're buying separate houses. So you're back together. Yeah. But you're buying separate houses. And you're going to continue to live apart. Yeah, until we're... Buzzy. You're actually buying a house and your partner's buying a house as well,

but you're not going to live with each other. How often do you sleep over at each other's places? Like three, four times a week. That's such a strange arrangement. That's so interesting, Sinead. Like, did either of you, so you actually broke up first. You had a clean break and then you kind of rekindled it, but you were living separate already.

In the spaces, yeah. So, like, we both were sort of ready to buy a house, but we weren't quite ready to move back in here. Wow. So we just thought we'd do it separately and then when we are ready, we'll have two houses. Pick the best house. Yeah.

Wow, that's amazing. Well, at least you know that that's what works for your relationship, that you're a good couple, you just can't live together. Yeah, that's awesome. There's a few texts coming through on this. I need to read a few out. Someone said, I moved in with my ex during lockdown, went super bad,

and we decided that that was that. We now basically live together in our moving cities and buying a house together. My ex during lockdown went super bad and we decided that that was that. We now basically live together and are moving cities and buying a house together and doing super well and are really happy together. Weird how things change. Yeah, nice. Maya, what happened for you? So I met this guy just before lockdown, the weekend of pretty much. Whoa, yeah, okay.

I asked him if he wanted, I heard we were going into lockdown, I thought, hey, do you want to move in with me during lockdown? He was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, sweet. So he moved to Hamilton to stay with me and my mum. Oh, with your mum as well? Oh, that's full on, Maya. Yes, it was full on. And, you know,

honeymoon phase, that was okay. He got a job, which was cool, but then he started showing signs of obsessive behaviour. Oh no, what, like what? Calling constantly, always,

what are you up to? And if I didn't have my phone, I mean, because you know, I'm at home, so I just leave my phone in the kitchen or I don't carry it around with me.

And if I didn't miss him straight away, he's like, where are you? What are you up to? And it's like, not like I can go anywhere. Hello?

I was going to say, Maya, in lockdown, shouldn't he know where you are? You're at home. You're locked down. You're either at home or the supermarket. That's it. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday.

She was a babe with the green eyeshadow. I started following her on Instagram this year. She had a fun lockdown. Did she? Yeah. What was her other song? It's murder on the dance floor. But you better not kill the moods.

Isn't it interesting? Hardly anyone in the world has an accent when they sing. Sophie Ellis Baxter is one of them. It's murder on the dance floor. Yeah. You better not kill the groove. She's also maybe the palest person I've ever seen in my life. I love it.

Yeah. Own it. We're trying to figure out if Christmas bonuses and Christmas presents are still a thing From your work Yeah does the company you know hook everyone up With the Prezi card or A ham? Do you get a ham?

Is a ham still a thing? We're getting texts from lots of people who are getting free hams A lot of hams being given out Someone said they work at a place with 400 people And everybody got a ham That's a lot of ham How much would that be? A lot.

That'd be so expensive. Aren't hams like 100 bucks? Yeah. Oh, actually, I don't know. I don't know how much ham is. It depends on the size of the ham. Yeah. They can be quite expensive, though.

This person wants to remain anonymous, but they've called up. Anonymous, where do you work? It's a sales company. I'll give it away if I tell you. Yeah, I'll give it away if that's a problem if I tell you. Okay, that's fair enough. Because we haven't given the gift yet. Oh, got it.

You're the gift giver, so what are your staff getting? We've organised a $100 credit card and a picnic hamper for each person. That's awesome because the best thing about a picnic hamper just before Christmas. Oh, nice. That's awesome because the best thing about a picnic hamper just before Christmas is it'll get eaten. Yeah, it's very usable.

You need all those bits and bobs. Okay, Mandy, do you get a Christmas bonus or a Christmas present at your work? I'm the boss. Yeah. And we give our staff, they get a ham, they get some beer, they get a pottle of licorice, and they get a bonus. And Mandy,

any openings at the moment? What do you like on the tools, Bree? I'm not bad on the old tools. And then I can also use those things to, you know, screw nuts and bolts as well. Screwdriver. Yeah. Are you hired? Done, Mandy, on there.

I'm a bit of a tool if you've got room for me in there as well. Thanks, Mandy. Why not? No worries. Merry Christmas. Mandy, why not? Andrea, do you get a Christmas present or bonus? Yes, we do.

We all do. We all get to choose between ham, turkey or lamb. And then we have like our Christmas work function like at the teen raffle and you can win drones, phones. Whoa. What? Yeah, heaps of stuff. Where do you work? I can't say.

Keep that a secret. Yeah, because everyone knows about it. Yeah, you have to protect the jobs. Yeah, yeah. Then they'll want to come get a job and I might miss out. This is unacceptable, by the way. We need to call Ross Boss. I'm not too impressed.

Someone else on the text machine has said, we get a branded company umbrella with a cheeky $1,000 cash hidden inside. What? What? We should just say. He won't answer. He never does. He's already checked out for the year.

He's in the departure lounge. We should leave him a message then. Yeah, we'll leave him a message. Let's give out his number. That could be our Christmas bonus. Give out his number. Give out his number. That could be our Christmas bonus. Give out his number. Give out his number. Ross, pick up.

This is a radio station. You're required. Producer's nodding. Oh, I give up. Does he have an answering machine? No, it's also doing a weird ring. I don't think it's gone through properly. Anyway.

Thanks a lot, Ross. Did he answer? No. No? What's that, producer Anastasia? The phone system's actually changed today, and I forgot to tell you guys, so that that wasn't ringing anyone.

Wasn't it? Who were we just ringing? Oh, my God, the show needs to end. I nearly just yelled down the line at someone. This year needs to end. No, I'm keen the line at someone. This year needs to end. I'm keen. Bring on some more. We just spent five minutes talking about ham.

I loved it. That was my favourite bit of 2020. I've got a story this afternoon about my home country, Australia. It's a story that is quite sad, but it's a story of hope and survival. Right. And just pure Australiana. Okay. So if you haven't seen in the news, which it's been a pretty big story this week,

there's been some really bad storms. Yeah, I saw beaches, like whole beaches getting washed away. Yeah, so whole beaches in Byron Bay, Currumbin, which is near the Gold Coast and stuff like that. Huge storms, which is, you know, a lot of people have lost a lot of stuff. Anyway, I saw this story and it's about the Currumbin Beach Vikings Surf Club. Yeah. And I've been to this surf club. It's a great establishment.

You can get dinner there. It's awesome. Anyway, their surf club, because obviously it's on the beach, has been smashed by all these waves and the windows have been broken and all this stuff has been pulled out to sea. Yeah. Anyway, there's this story about all of these locals and mainly this one woman who was seen out in the ocean.

I've seen her. Pulling the kegs out. Rescuing the kegs. Rescuing the kegs. Rescuing the kegs. Yeah. From the surf club back to shore. Priorities.

Yeah, I've seen this woman. She's a, yeah, she's a hero. Isn't it amazing? What a hero that is Straya. I don't know how she managed to do it because those kegs are heavy. Aren't they? I wouldn't think they'd float either.

She didn't work at the surf club. She just wanted them for herself. Yeah, I know. I assumed that. No, she worked at the surf club. Oh, no. She did work there. She didn't work at the surf club. She just wanted them for herself. Yeah, I know. I assumed that. No, she worked at the surf club. Oh, no. She did work there. She did, yeah. Oh, right. But, yeah. I thought she was just scoring a keg and maybe go fishing for a pint glass as well. No, it was all the staff and

volunteers who worked at the surf club and they were trying to save stuff. Full on, man. Those images are crazy. So crazy. Apparently, Bribey Island, which is off of Queensland, got cut in half. Really? Well, that's what they're saying. Ah, the perfect end to the perfect year.

Yeah, God, can you leave us alone 2020 for God's sake? It's all going to be better on January 1st. Magical switch is going to be flipped and everything is going to be better next year. I believe you. Brian Clint. Brian Clint. A bit of a warning to any parents who've got kids at home over the Christmas holidays, which I'm assuming that's all parents.

Have a think about it. And any kids that are on devices, smartphones, iPads, anything where they're playing games or they have access to the internet or stuff like that. Because it comes after this story, which is out of the US, and it's about a six-year-old named George. So George was very savvy on the iPad, and he loved a game called Sonic Forces.

Oh, yeah. Is that a Sonic the Hedgehog game? I think it might be, yeah. Anyway, this game has Apple in-store purchases you can make. Yeah. Anyway, so his mum didn't really know much about it, but she's like, oh, he's a six-year-old. He can play a game on the iPad.

That's fine. And she started getting all of these random charges to her bank account. Yeah. First it started off, you know, a couple of bucks, two or three. And then it became a hundred bucks here, 150 bucks there. 150 bucks on a Sonic the Hedgehog game. Right. Anyway, she then was like, okay, I need to like make a phone call or check that this is, you know,

not a scam or what's going on here. Anyway, she called up this certain company or whatever and she was like, hey, you know, there's 25 charges on my account for, you know, around $3,000. Whoa. What is this? Anyway, they told her that they reckon it was just some sort of, you know um discrepancy they didn't think was anything to worry about um so she left it for another couple of weeks and then

she's looked at her account again and the charges have gone up another couple of thousand yeah and she's tried to call this place again and they were like, yeah, we're looking into it, we'll look into it. Anyway, turns out he has racked up a total of $23,000 and it wasn't until October that she ended up contacting Apple themselves and she was like, what is going on here? She figured it out finally that it was her six-year-old who was making these in-app purchases. $23,000 later.

Yeah. Anyway, they said, oh, you needed to call us within the 60 days of the charges first starting. We can't do anything. So she has to pay her. We can't help you. No. Apparently that's what they've said.

But anyway, she has pretty much said to them, you know, I can't pay my mortgage, I can't do this, I can't do that. So they're looking into it. They're looking into it. They're looking into it. Take the iPad away. Yeah, do you reckon the kid is still on the iPad? I was going to say, but then if you spend $23,000 on the game,

it seems a bit of a shame to delete the game, doesn't it? Yeah, hopefully he's finished it. Hopefully he finished it. But $23,000, I hope he clocked the damn thing. Yeah. the game doesn't it? Yeah hopefully he's finished it Hopefully he finished it. For 23 grand I hope he clocked the damn thing ZM's Free and Clint The podcast with mobile smiles Register, fill up, redeem points for rewards Easy. If you enjoyed this podcast
