Zed-in! Let's go! Now let me see you dance! Zed-ins, Brie and Clint. Hey Siri, how many sleeps until Christmas? It's two weeks and five days until then. Kind of what I asked for, thanks Siri. That's not long.

Wait, it's two weeks and five days? Until Christmas, yeah. I haven't done anything! No, you haven't done anything all year. Don't worry about it, mate. I don't think anyone... What's that supposed to mean? I'm just saying everything is a little bit last minute.

I don't mean it in a... Well, I do mean it in a rude way. Look, Merry Christmas. You're the Grinch. No, I'm looking... We're getting each other Christmas presents, aren't we? Yes. We will be.

We will be. We'll be doing a little show secret, Santa. As a show? As I'm sure a lot of workplaces around New Zealand are doing. I'm sure there's Christmas parties happening. You might be having yours today. You might be knocking off early to go and have your Christmas party. Someone texted through on the text machine the other day

and they were like, I'm boycotting my Christmas party this year. They've said that they're having a Christmas party at the lunchroom and you have to bring your own drinks and a plate of food. You bring drinks? So what are they providing? Nothing. Yeah, now boycott that one. Yeah, don't go to that one. You know what they should do?

And steal something from your work to make up for it. Yeah, steal a printer. They're worth heaps of money. And then sell it. And then have a Christmas party. Yeah, and then use. They're worth heaps of money. And then sell it, and then sell it. And then have a Christmas party. Yeah, and then use it as a barter. You can't get in trouble for that. Actually, I've done a degree in employment law,

and you can't get in trouble for that. Why not? It's fine, because it's Christmas. Just say that you needed to print something at home, like some concert tickets, and you'd be good to go. This afternoon, we're giving you the chance to win yourself a Christmas present with Slingshot. We'll be getting more people in the draw

for our giant Slingshot. On Friday, we're going to be firing an enormous, like six foot high Slingshot down at Victoria Park in Auckland at prizes. And if you want to be one of the people we're shooting for, 4.30, you need to be listening. That is going to be a damn good time. Also, up next, finally,

I'm going to speak out about something that I'm super passionate about, something that I truly hate that I think is probably one of the worst gifts you can ever get someone, a gift card. Oh, not this again. What do you mean, not this again? I love a gift card. I hate a gift card.

All right, strap it, New Zealand. He said I was the Grinch. We'll do it next. Let's bring the negativity. Mitch James, Zit-M. Maybe this is controversial. Maybe people are going to say it and stop being so negative, but I feel like it's something I need to get out in the open.

And maybe there's people that are with me on this. Gift cards are crap. They are literally giving someone money and telling them where they have to spend it and then also putting a time limit on that money. Just give me the money. I don't care. I'm not awkward. I'll take the money. I'm fine with it. Are you saying this now so that anybody thinking about getting you a gift knows don't get you a gift card? No, no, the people close to me in my life know. But this is the thing, Brie.

A gift card is not for people that are close to you. Well, it can be. It's a great get out of jail free card for people who need to get you a present but maybe don't know you that well. Guess what? They go, what is Brie like? Clothes. I don't know what clothes, but I'll get her a voucher for some clothes

and she can go and get the clothes that she does like with this voucher. You know what else I like? Vodka. Yeah. Beer. Yeah. Wine. Yeah. Any spirit. So what if I got you a gift card for super liquor? No! Get me a bottle of vodka. I don't want a gift card. But you can get your own vodka

with the... Well, you know, maybe that's the only gift card I'd like. Can I say, I love a gift card. And I'm not saying that just to argue with you. I love a gift card. You tell me. Okay, I hate gift cards. I think they're absolutely crap present.

Change my mind. Okay, with a gift card, you get to go shopping. That's one of the funnest activities there are. I can do that with money. You can get exactly the thing you want. I can do that with money. You can get exactly the thing you want. I can do that with money. Actually, no, you can't because if you get a gift card to somewhere that's not the exact thing you want, then guess what?

Can't get it. But a gift card at least says I've thought about you a little bit and I think I know the location where there might be something you like. Money, money just goes, I don't know you at all. Can I just pay to get out of this awkward situation with cash? And I'm fine with that. So you're saying you would rather cash than a gift card? Yes, because guess what?

Cash is so much more universal. A gift card just limits your opportunity with that money. Yeah, but what if it's like for JB Hi-Fi or something? They've got everything that you want. What if at the time I don't need something from JB Hi-Fi? I really need that new jumper or that new coat? Well, go and buy yourself a coat. It's not my job as a gift person to make sure you have everything you need.

I'm trying to satisfy one area of your interests with a single gift. And I stand by the fact that a gift card can do that. Mate, I've got a gift card that's sitting in my wallet right now for $300 at Flight Centre. Got given it last year. What a fantastic gift. What a great gift, right? It's the gift of creativity because you can think about where you'd like to go.

You know what they've given you? As a gift, they've given you a dream. Because you can fantasise about where you're going to go. Haven't used that this year, have I? Yeah, well, that's fine. Use it later. It expires one year after the gift card was given to me. But you've been on it.

So now I've got six days to use that Flight Centre gift card, which if they gave me money, probably, you know, wouldn't have used it on that, but I would have used it. Get rekt. You've got six days to use it. You've had 349 days to use it, and you just haven't because you're disorganised. Guess what? And that's, again, that's not my problem as a gift giver.

But you should know me better. What if I gave you that dream bottle of vodka that you wanted, and you didn't get around to drinking it, and then it went off? That doesn't happen. That's not my problem. No, that doesn't happen. Guess what? They did a survey with a lot of people.

51% of gift cards never get used. Well, yeah. But that doesn't mean it's a bad present. It's a crappy gift. I reckon more than 51% of regular gifts don't get used. I reckon closer to 75% of, if I got you a jersey or if I got you some makeup for Christmas, I reckon more of that doesn't get used than gift cards

because you just go, oh my God, thank you. And then you put it in the cupboard and then you never use it. Vodka at my house always gets used. Always. I love a gift. If you're listening and you need to get me a present,

I love a gift card. I love money. Mum, if you're loving, I love a gift card. I also love undies, if you're listening, Mum. Or garlic bread. Money, garlic bread, I'm happy. That's what I got from my secret Santa at work. was the best day ever i want to know from the people let's take a listener poll gift cards yes or no oh 800 dials it in oh 800 dials it in or you can

have your say on the text machine machine 9696 if you do vote in this poll there could be a um mobile gift card in it for you you mean a flight center one no, there could be a mobile gift card in it for you. You mean a flight send one? No, I'll give you a mobile gift card. Oh. Oh, $800 ZM. See, great gifts. Brie and Clint on ZM. The gift card.

Coming into Christmas, a lot of people opt to get a gift card for someone. Yep. I think it's a crappy gift. I, to be honest, I'm not being someone. Yep. I think it's a crappy gift. I, to be honest, I'm not being ungrateful. I'm someone... You sound... No, but I'm someone who puts a lot of thought into my gifts. Yeah.

And I really, really try and buy something for someone that they really want. Yeah. I just think a gift card is giving someone money but putting restrictions on it. That's all it is. Because you limit the amount of places they can spend it and you also limit the time. Even a Prezi card. A Prezi card is just giving cash.

A Prezi card is just giving cash. And putting a time limit on it. No, Prezi cards don't expire. I'm pretty sure they do. I don't think they do. I've got one in my wallet. Really? Well, you've got your Flight Centre one in your wallet.

Yeah. I've got my Flight Centre gift card right in front of me. Yeah. I haven't looked if it's expired or not. I thought it expired in a week and a bit. But I'm not sure. Have a look. So it expires on the 14th

of this month. Oh yeah, so you've still got nine days to use it. Amazing. So happy. Oh, $800 at him. You want to know. What do you want to know?

How much do people want to give me for this Flight Centre gift card? No. The highest bidder it will go to. That's what we're doing. Hi, Summer. Hello.

You'd be more than happy with a gift card for Christmas, wouldn't you? Well, I reckon if it's like your husband or someone that truly loves you, no deal. Don't give me a gift card. But I reckon if

it's like your auntie or your grandma, I'll take all the gift cards. It's great for them. Wouldn't you rather money though, Summer? No, because it's just like awkward. It's kind of like, I'll take the card and the money falls out. The amount on the gift card. Money's awkward too because you always count it in front of them's just, like, awkward. It's kind of like, I've got this card and the money falls out. But they have to write the amount on the gift card.

Money's awkward, too, because you always count it in front of them. You're like, oh, let's see how much you love me, shall we? Mm, 20, 30, 40. Yeah, that will do. That's just you, mate. That will do this Christmas. I'm putting Summer down in the yes gift cards are fine pile. Hi, Aaron.

Heya. What do you reckon, Aaron? Gift cards, yes or no? Well, mostly no, to be honest. If you're going to buy someone a Christmas present, they've got to be someone important to you, more or less, right? Yes. A gift card is fairly half-assed.

I agree, Aaron. I appreciate you. Not true. Not true. Sometimes you have to buy a present for family members that you don't particularly like. And in that situation, a gift card's a fantastic option. Mate, in that situation, don't buy them anything.

I agree. No, because it'll be awkward on Christmas. Fine, put them down in the know. Hi, Fleur. Gift cards. This Christmas, a gift card, yes or no? Yes. Yeah, why?

Tell us why. I reckon, like, if you don't want to just give someone cash, if you give them a gift card, at least they can kind of choose what they want from the shop. Whereas, you know, if you just buy them a present... If you give them a gift card, the world is their oyster, Fleur. But with cash, no, that's not true. It is.

With cash, the world is your oyster. If you give them a New World gift card, the new world is their oyster. If you give them a gift card, Bunnings Warehouse is their oyster. Oh, Bunnings Warehouse is their oyster. Oh, Bunnings Warehouse is a fantastic craft of my space. Your argument has no leg to stand on.

Fleur is a yes. Oh, I'm leading the poll. Josh, gift cards, mate. You want them? It's a big no. Yes, Josh. Why? Why, Josh?

Because you've always got to top it up with cash. The gift card? Mm-hmm. Yeah, so you'll get given a gift card and you know that you've always got to top it up with cash. The gift card? Mm-hmm. Yeah, so you'll get given a gift card, and you know that you've always got to put cash towards it anyway. So you buy in from a shop that you wouldn't normally shop at. Oh, I see.

And then put in your own cash in. Yeah, I see what you mean. You've got to top up your purchase. And then you know what's so bad about a gift card? If you don't spend it all at once, then you're like, oh, I've got this awkward amount. Yeah. And then you're forced to spend something more

on something you don't really want. Okay, it's two all. We'll go to one more. This can decide it. Come on, Sunny. I'm a yes. It's not the result

for you, Arden. Sunny's not getting the Flight Centre gift card. Sunny, we're going to... We'll split it between Josh and Aaron. Sunny, we're going to send you a mobile gift card. No!

Yes, we are. Don't reward him! Yes, we are. We're going to send you a mobile gift card. Merry Christmas. Thanks. Bree and Clint, ZM. God damn it. Bree and Clint on ZM. Bree and Clint's Slingshot Summer Shout. Bring the action. Slingshot is

Everybody wants a barbecue this time of year. No worries. We'll talk to you guys on Friday. Slingshot Summer Shout. Hard to say, but easy to get. You

can sign up today at slingshot.co.nz. I want you to take... I want you You can sign up today at slingshot.co.nz. Brie and Clint on ZM. I want you to take, I want you to take me, no, I want to take you right now, Brie, to Central Otago, Cromwell in particular. Yes. Where a man who has been charged with drink driving and then pleaded guilty to drink driving, now, it turns out, may not have committed drink driving.

And that comes from the judge. Isn't it pretty black and white? It is pretty black and white. He was riding around, got pulled over, they blew him. He was over the limit. He went to court. He said, yeah, I did it. And then all of a sudden they've let him go for Christmas

so that they can think about it. Wait a minute. I thought this was going to be like whatever thing he was riding or driving had something to do with it. Yes, it does. What's the limit here? Well, it's 250 micrograms. So is it 0.0?

I don't know. How do you not know that? Well, just don't drink and drive. Is it 0.02? That's all you have to worry about. I think it's 0.025. It's 250 micrograms. He had 540 micrograms

when they pulled him over. The tricky bit is, they pulled him over on a motorised chilli bin. Nah, that's drink driving. Is it? It's got an engine. He was right outside the pub when he was doing it. He was just putting around in the car park.

He wasn't on his way home. He was like, can I have a ride on your motorised chilli bin?. He was just putting around in the car park. He wasn't on his way home. He was like, can I have a ride on your motorised chilli bun? And he was doing some laps in the car park in a motorised chilli bun. So this happened last year in Aussie on Australia Day, of course. Yeah. Everyone's responsible. And a guy was saying- That's where you all have a barbecue and be responsible, right? Yeah, exactly.

And we all just talk about, you know, politics. And he was riding outside a pub, the same thing on the footpath. He wasn't even on the road. He was on the footpath and he was doing wheelies. On a motorised chilli bin. On a motorised chilli bin. Although you guys call it a motorised esky. We do, motorised esky.

And he was four times over the limit. He got done for high-range drink driving. Really? Yes. This is the limit. He got done for high range drink driving. Really? Yes. This is the thing. They're unsure legally if they can charge him because the judge has said he needs to check with the

Land Transport Act whether a chilli bin would be termed a vehicle or not. Because at the end of the day, it's a chilli bin. It's got a motor though. It does have a motor. And some of those motorised chilli bins, usually I'm all about the fun and whatever, but this is serious.

And drink driving, there's no grey area for me. No. If it's got a motor, it's drink driving. Okay, what about a lime scooter? It's drink driving. A guy got done on a lawnmower. It's got a motor. Oh, don't lawnmower done on a lawnmower. It's got a motor. It's drink driving.

Don't lawnmower. Don't lawnmower. That's got a motor and it's got blades on it. Okay. The judges said to him, the judges, no, no, crap, the judges said,

I'm not sure about this one. Go away. Have Christmas. Come back in February. We'll sort it out. Right. Yeah. This is the other thing though.

What do you think? Well, I just think if you can't ride a motorised chilli bin after you've been drinking, then they shouldn't make motorised chilli bins. Because what else are you doing? Are you riding your chilli bin to the party? Yes. And then parking it up and then drinking from your chilli bin?

Yes. And then, oh, you leave it there. Exactly. Just like a car, mate. Well, just get a car then, you know? No, but how fun are motorised chilli bins? Don't chilli bin and drink and drive this Christmas, New Zealand. Don't.

It's not worth it. It's not worth it. I mean, riding a horse, that's grey area. Bree and Clint on ZM. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. I feel like today's the day.

We need a birthday banger moment. Everyone that listens to this show knows what I'm talking about when I say that. Not every day you get it. You've put a call out to the birthday banger gods. Yep. We will see if they have responded. Vae, good afternoon. Hello.

Hi. What's your birthday, Vae? 25th of June, 84. Okay, Vae. You were 16 in the, Vae? 25th of June, 84. Okay, Vae. You were 16 in the year 2000 on the 25th of June, and this is your birthday banger. This is Medicine Avenue. The group that said, Don't Call Me Baby.

This is their other song. Oh, right. Yeah. That's a tune. It is? Who the hell are you? I don't reckon it's quite the birthday banger you're looking for, though. It's not bad.

It's not bad. Let's go with Catherine. Hi, Catherine. Hey, guys. How's it going? Good. How are you? Yeah, good.

I'm ready. I'm ready. Ready to roll, Catherine. You've got our song, don't you? You've got the song we've been waiting for. We're good to go. I can hear it in your voice. What's your birthday, Katharine? 24th of April

1984. Another 84, baby. So you were 16 in the year 2000 as well. On the 24th of April, on that day, this was number one. My heart goes Yes! You got the Venga Boys. Oh, this is good.

This is very good. It's not my favourite Venga Boys song. What's your favourite Venga Boys? Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah. What about Going to Ibiza? Oh, that's a tune, too. Oh, they've got classics.

Catherine, you've got to be happy with that, right? You love it? It's still a hump day banger. We're good. Okay, cool. That's good to go. Let's go. That's good to go.

Well, we might do a better than it yet. Amanda, hi. Hello. Hello. Hello. How are you? Good, thanks. What's your birthday, Amanda?

Birthday, 10th of July, 1984. We've had three 84 babies. Does it make every song today from the year 2000? Yes, it does. Okay. Cool. Well, year 2000 was, I think, a good year for music. Yeah.

Okay. So Amanda was 16 in the year 2000 as well. On the 10th of July, this was top of the charts. I'm out of love. Set me free. Let me out. This means I'm free. Oh, my God.

It's Anastasia Redemption. Why? I think that's a good one. Amanda, you don't know the backstory, my God. It's Anastasia Redemption. Why? I think that's a good one. Amanda, you don't know the backstory, I think. It is the best one. Brie has been waiting for this song to come up ever since it was denied by Phil Collins. It was an absolute travesty, Amanda.

Last time this song came up, by split decision, including producer Ellie. Yeah, that's right. You're involved in this, Ellie. We ended up playing Phil Collins in the air tonight instead of Anastasia. Yeah, and I've never heard

the end of that one. We're not there yet, Brie. We're not there yet. We haven't, we don't have a decision because we both have to vote and if we can't decide, we have to go back

to the producers. So, tell me. No, let's do it together. Let's do it together. Well, I'm voting for Anastasia. I was going to say let's do it together. Oh, right. We'll vote together. And I've got your back. You ready? You got my back? Yeah, I got your back. You're actually going to play it?

Three. Tell you what you want to hear. Three, two, one. Venga Boys. So that's a split decision. We go straight to the producers. God. Ellie. I want to pick Venga Boys so badly. I... Hey, don't read the text machine because it'll sway your decision.

To be honest, Sha La La La is my personal favourite. I did see you. No, you... Bye. I don't know if I can see your heart broken again, so let's go with I'm in love. Let's do it. I'm doing it for you, Bree. Is that my Christmas present? Yeah, that's what you're getting. I love you, Ellie with I'm in love. Let's do it. I'm doing it for you, Brie.

Is that my Christmas present? Yeah, that's what you're getting. I love you, Ellie. I love you too. I love you, mate. Clint, you're a dick. Hey. Amanda.

Hello. We're playing your birthday banger, girl. This is for you, girl. Well, hi, thank you. Got it. Yes, New Zealand. Now, baby, come on. I mean, it's no Phil Collins. Yes, New Zealand. Now, baby, come on. You can't handle.

I mean, it's no Phil Collins. Don't even start me. ZM, Brie and Clint, that's the winner of Birthday Banger. For Amanda, but to be honest, more for Brie. That was Anastasia and I'm out of love. I'm so happy. Thank you, Ellie. Yeah.

There is a very upset two-year-old on the text machine who didn't get to hear Venga Boys. But there's a very happy 28-year-old in the studio. There's other people who are happy about it. Come on, don't make me feel bad. How good was the year 2000 for music? So good. Well, who else was in the year 2000? We had the Venga Boys.

Yeah. We had Anastasia. We had Will Smith. Atomic Kitten. Yeah. Sugar Babes. Yeah. God, there were so many.

You can go to that So Pop concert. Oh, yeah, Lou Bega. Lou Bega, mumbo number five. He's going to be there. That was in the 90s. Speaker company Sonos, they make like wireless speakers and stuff. Yeah. They've done a study which their data reveals that couples who listen to music together out loud do more, you know, activities together.

Adult activities. Well, that adult activity in particular. Making a baby. Yes, that's exactly what it is. That's what they say, right? You're more likely. You're more likely. If you guys have like a shared playlist

and you agree to what's on there, then you're more likely to be convinced to go into the process that results in a baby. You know what it is? Do you have a playlist? Used to have a playlist. I've got one. Mine hasn't been updated for a while, to be honest. You probably should it is? Do you have a playlist? Used to have a playlist. I've got one. Mine hasn't been updated

for a while to be honest. You probably should update it. It's on my laptop. God, it is old. Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, it's in iTunes. Right. So we thought this afternoon,

I wonder what everybody else's songs are. Let's compile a brain clench show sexy playlist. It's a real glimpse into a bedroom. Well, someone's private life, right? The music that makes them go, oh yeah, this'll work. On the text machine. Pony by Genuine always starts a party in my pants.

Does it really though? Because I hear that one and I think like strip club. I think of Channing Tatum. Yeah. Oh, well, there you go. Yeah. That's for everyone. Do you want to give me a song off your playlist?

This song definitely has been on my playlist for a number of years. I don't know why. This is not the sort of song I was expecting to come up on your playlist. The part where she's like, this part. All right, yeah. Ariana Grande, Into You. My playlist? Yep. This song, right here.

That's what I had as my second song. Usher Confessions? Yes. No, Usher Climax. Usher Climax, sorry. Yeah. Is this on your playlist as well?

That was my second song. Hang on. Oh no, that wasn't the song. Hey, that's cute. We've got the same song. Is it cute? I don't know. It's kind of weird.

Ask the producers, what's on your guys' playlist? Like, if you had a playlist, what would be on it? If I had a playlist? I already know what producer band from Christchurch is picking. Do you want to just play it? Yeah. It's Craig David. Yeah.

It's a Craig David song called Intimate. I've never heard this song before in my life. That's probably because you haven't had that moment with producer Ben. Yeah, well, there you go. Yeah. I've got producer Ellie's one here. Producer Ellie. Should we play it?

Yeah, this one gets my hips moving. Oh, listen. Ellie just then was so creepy. She goes, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean goes, yeah. Yeah. Hey, baby, I want you. You know what I mean, though? Yeah.

Can't keep your eyes off. You can't stop those hits from moving. I can just picture Ellie. I can just picture Ellie in her bathroom in the en suite, and her boyfriend Sam's like, what's going on? She just hits play. She starts moving her hips. She's like.

He's like, oh, I know what's happening. I'm coming for you. I'll get some extra towels. Let's put together a group playlist then, shall we? Yeah. What is your go-to song? 0800 Dial ZM. The song that goes on your...

Gets you in the mood. On your adults only playlist. Yeah. What song are you putting on there? Brie and Clint on ZM. Loud Luxury and Brando. That's Body. That could be on the playlist. It could be on the playlist. Wireless

speaking company Sonos has put out some research that said couples who have a shared playlist for that are more likely to do it and in turn more likely to make a baby. I do love putting on a playlist. You feel like a little bit like the bedroom DJ

though? Yeah, it's a little bit cringe. Here's a little number that's going out to a special lady who I like to call you. You can't help but move with the beat, though. You know what I mean? We're asking you, New Zealand, what is on your, what's at the very top of your. What's your go-to.

Yeah, what's at the top of your playlist, you know. Your adults only. Your adults only playlist, yeah. I, in the break, said, how did I forget this song by Ciara? Put your back into it. I might get it so good. They can wait to try.

Can you not do the hip actions while we listen to that together? Like, I'm happy to put the playlist together with you, but the text machine is going very well, though. The text machine's going ballistic. I love this suggestion from someone by Jason Derulo. They said this song. And the trumpets, they go.

And they play it for you, girl. What's the line in that song? Is it weird that your something reminds me of a Katy? A Katy Perry song. Yeah. Yeah, interesting. Keep Jason Derulo out of the bedroom. Can we keep Jason?

Look, it's your playlist. There's plenty of other good stuff. Also from the text machine, Pussycat Dolls. Anything like this, which is like some very literal instructions. This one's like a step-by-step. I just automatically think of the film clip. Hot.

With the chair. Yeah. You got more? I got more. Yeah. This one was probably the most popular, and it involves a birthday. It's your birthday, so I know you want to ride out. Jeremiah.

We all know this song. Let's just call this birthday Sit more easy As we sit upon my Every person When they wake up On their birthday If they have a partner That's the song they put on

And they just go Huh? Well Huh? No that's just you Oh Well try it everybody If you don't do that

Hey Dave Hi Dave Hey guys how you doing? Good You partnered up Dave? I sure am Yeah okay So what's on your Adults only. You partnered up, Dave? I sure am. Yeah, okay. So what's on your adults-only playlist right at the top, Dave?

At the very top, the cheesy, colour me bad, I want to sex you up. Oh, baby, let's make love tonight. Some 90s R&B. Now, Dave, is this playlist on cassette? It's on the iPod. Oh, yeah. How hot's an iPod Mini? Or a shuffle?

It's not about the size of the iPod. You're doing it for me, Dave. It's about what you've got on it, I think you'll find. Let's go to... Olivia. Olivia. Hey, Olivia. Olivia.

Hello. Hello. What's on your playlist, Olivia? Take You Down by Chris Brown. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, that's hot, that song. It's a goodie. It's such a goodie.

It is good. You know what's very similar to Chris Brown and a lot on the text machine has been coming through is Trey's songs. Oh, people love a bit of Trey's songs. This is my favourite, I reckon, for this playlist from Trey. He was just here as well. There's a slow motion

Anybody who can sing up there is going on this playlist. My friend actually got to know Trey's songs quite well. What was on his playlist? Not himself. That would be awkward, eh? Imagine you end up with someone like Justin Bieber or Jason Derulo and you go home and then he's like, he pops

on a little bit of Riding Solo. Justin Bieber, just a silhouette of him in the bathroom. Starts boyfriend, starts clicking. If I was your boyfriend I'd never let the bathroom. Starts boyfriend, starts clicking. If I was your boyfriend, I'd never let you go. Take us home, Teresa. Hi. What is the song that is on your adults only playlist?

I like the song Boyie. Yeah, girl. You hear that? Oh, yeah, got that thing there. I don't think it's safe to play this song. Not at this time. Not at this time. People are on their way home. Teresa, people are pulling over in traffic.

They're driving up the bus lane just to get home quicker now. Hey, Teresa, have a great night. Thank you. All right. Oh, Teresa's going to have a good night after that. Brie and Clint on Zit Im. I want to tell you about an update on a story that I told probably a couple of weeks ago now,

and it was a Christmas miracle that happened to my family. And if you haven't heard it, don't worry, I'll update you on that as well. So my parents had a cat that went missing about 18 months ago. The cat showed up on the doorstep, alive, healthy, came back to the family. A year and a half after it went missing. Ridiculous. Christmas miracle.

An absolute Christmas miracle. I was here with you when you got sent the video from your mum of the cat just eating from its old bowl. I couldn't believe it. No, you were dumbfounded. So would I be. You would have had like a mini mock funeral for that cat. You would have just ridden it off and gone. We were really sad about it.

It was a really lovely cat. And my mum actually ended up texting being like, what was his name again? It's obviously not as much of an impact on your mum. You know, mum's getting old. Mumma die. Oh, she's listening. Joking, mum.

Joking. You look great for 60. It's all right. By your logic, she'll forget about this break in five minutes. Exactly. So it's not even a big deal. My mum calls me as we were planning the show today, and there's been an update on that story.

On Miracle Cat. On Miracle Cat. So the background you need to know is we've got two cats. One cat, Kimba, who is the mum of AJ, which is Miracle Cat, that came back. Gotcha. So Kimba's who is the mum of AJ, which is Miracle Cat, that came back. Gotcha. So Kimba's son went missing. Went missing. So when Kimba had a litter of kittens in a small country town,

we gave them to people that we know or people took them if they wanted a cat. That's how it kind of works. Anyway, my mum said she was in town, little country town in country Queensland, and she runs into one of my sister's friends who lives about five kilometres away from us. Or in the country, as you say, next door. Exactly. Which is a fair way away. It's ages away. It's quite a long way.

Yeah. And she said, she goes, you wouldn't believe this, Di, my mum. So this woman has said to her, she goes, I saw this video on Facebook of Brie talking about one of your cats that went missing. And in that video on our Facebook page, we put up that video of AJ, the miracle cat. Of the cat coming back. Yeah.

She says to my mum, that cat has been coming to my house since September. Miracle cat. Has been visiting five kilometres down the road from our place, her place. Wait, the story gets better. So she goes, first I recognise the cat because I've been feeding him. Second of all, I took one of your kittens from your mama cat, Kimba. So if you put that together, AJ, miracle cat that went missing for 18 months, has been visiting his sister five kilometres up the road.

Now, is that, I mean, this is a Christmas miracle doubled down on. Is that even possible? What I wonder is, do cats know who their family is? Because they would have been separated, what, when they were six weeks, eight weeks? Well, they're maybe a bit older, yeah. Yeah, and this is the other thing. He's been going there since September,

but he's been missing for 18 months. So where else has he been? Where are the rest of his siblings? You need to plot the chart of where the other siblings are. He's been doing the family rounds. He's been to see everybody and the most beautiful bit of it is at the end, this is

like we're writing the plot to bingo too by the way, the most beautiful bit is after he's possibly gone to see all his siblings he's come home to his mum. He's gone, alright, I'm going home to mum. Honestly, I just hope Scarlett Johansson plays me in the movie. I can't wait to see it.

Scarlett Johansson's so good she could play the cat. This is my time of the week where I'm meant to do some complaining about being a woman. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm trying to think of something that's really... Sorry, this is your birthright. Yeah, I'm trying to think of something that's really irked me this week. Oh, have you had a good woman week? I think I have.

Oh, I was about to overshare massively just then. Well, that's not like you. Someone goes to me the other day, you work with Brie, eh? I said, yeah. And she goes, oh, she's that girl who put deep heat on her private parts. And you know how they knew that? Because you said it on the radio and you made a video about it. I accident...

Oh, no, I didn't. That was... No, I did that on purpose. Not the deep heat on the private parts. No, not the deep heat on the private parts. I accidentally... I thought I accidentally said that on the radio. No, but I didn't.

I shared that. Anyway, we get some of the guys around the office to voice some of my hashtag girl problems. Do you want... Yeah. What? No, no, you're... No, you're girl problems. Did you want to? Yeah. What? No, no, you're doing it. I was about to mansplain girl problems. Don't worry.

No, you go. I want to hear your explanation. What Bree's trying to say is women have issues and it's better when men tell you about them. ZM. Why do us girls want to be mermaids so bad? No pants, no periods, perfect hair. You get to lure men to their deaths.

Hashtag girl problems. Clothes too dirty for the wardrobe, too clean for the laundry. Welcome to the chair. Hashtag girl problems. When your day is long. For the love of God, please put pockets in dresses and pants and skirts. Hashtag free the pocket. Hashtag girl problems. Oh, why am I stressed about my period?

Cramps, tampons, mood swings, leaks, headaches, cramps, cramps, cramps and cramps. Hashtag girl problems. Everybody hurts sometimes. How do you know mermaids don't get periods? Mate, they don't. Where does it go? In the water. Did you get that one about the chair? Yeah, I got it, yeah.

Do you guys have that problem too? It's not a girl problem. It's not? It's an everyone problem? If you have a chair in your bedroom, it's covered in clothes that you've worn once and you don't want to put them back in the drawer because they're not clean

because when you go into the drawer you want a fresh item of clothing but you don't want to put them in the wash because they've got a few more wears in them. Then they just go on the chair and it's out of rotation. Alright, here's a problem then. Bras. My bra. Producer Ellie, can you relate to this? How often do you wash a bra?

Do I want to admit that? I will if you will. Producer Ellie, can you relate to this? How often do you wash a bra? Do I want to admit that? I will if you will. I mean, I probably go through two bras a week. Oh, wait. What do you do? Oh, God. This bra that I'm wearing right now, I reckon it's a month. You're disgusting.

Producer Ellie, do mermaids get periods? Well, like what Bree said, where does it go? In the water. No, there's no hole at the bottom of the tail. Yeah, and that... All right, all right. And there's sharks around. Oh, yeah.

Hamish Blake joins us on the phone this afternoon. Kia ora, Hamish. Hello, mate. How are you guys? Great to be here. Finally, an Aussie on the phone this afternoon. Kia ora, Hamish. Hello, mate. How are you guys? Great to be here. Finally, an Aussie on the show with me. You needed one and got the beacon from the consulate and I decided to jump to the rescue.

Mate, how's the mothership? Do we have a new prime minister yet or what? What's going on? We had another one this morning. Okay. And then I think they all had like a long lunch and as a funny joke they did a lucky dip

to see who would be another Prime Minister and then it went back to Scott Morrison who was the original guy from before 8am this morning so it's just

another crazy it's just another crazy You know what you guys should get for a Prime Minister? An old white guy Oh that's a pretty cool idea You haven't had

one of those Real novel I mean we won't talk about too much politics We've got a woman would you believe it over here Old White Guy. Oh, that's a pretty cool idea. You haven't had one of those? Real novel. I mean, we won't talk about too much politics. We've got a woman, would you believe it, over here. We heard rumours about that. And we believe we were on that train for a while. And then we went, all right, well, we've ticked a diversity box.

So, great. Back to old white guys. Hey, should we talk about movies? Because you're all film star and Hollywood and stuff like that. I am one of the world's foremost political minds, so I don't mind talking about politics, but I'm also happy to talk about movies. But, yeah, your movie career is absolutely taking off.

I mean, you're working with the likes of Gal Gadot, John C. Reilly. I mean, you're big time now. Oh, look, your words. But can I just say, I mean, we're talking Ralph Breaks the Internet here. It's storming the US box office at the moment. second week in a row that it stopped the box office over there can I take all the credit I don't know if I can take all the credit I mean all I know is me gal John Sarah we've put together a great little movie it would be selfish of me to claim the lion's share. They also do a lot of work in the film. But my four lines are undeniably part of that success.

So thank you, guys. Four whole lines. Because you're a movie expert, Hamish, we play a game on our show where I claim to be a movie expert. I don't think I'm really down with people claiming to be things that they're not. I mean, I am a legitimate film star. And I'm happy to play along, though. I've watched a few films, so technically we're on the same level.

The game's called What's the Plot? Do you want to play? Yeah, I'd love to play that. All right, I've just got to play this. 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. Brie and Clint's What The Plot. It's my one gift in life, Hamish. Don't take this away from me. I'm going to read out movie plot lines, and if you think you know what it is, just yell out your name, okay? All right. Can I just say, and this might become a bit to bite me before I play this,

it seems easy because don't movies have quite well-known plot lines? Like, that's the reason they got made into films and are memorable in the first place. Like, I mean, I'm happy to play on and just see how we go here. I'm happy to read the sheet music from the score if you think that would make a more compelling game. No, no, I mean, I guess, so is the game we're going to go, like, They take character names out of it, so you can't pick it.

All right, so it's not like Jack and Rose are on a boat and Ethan Iceberg loves the film. No, no, no, no. Okay. It's a little bit harder than that. I mean, what are we playing for? If I win, you have to follow me on Instagram. If you win, I'll unfollow you on Instagram.

Stop trolling you. Oh, my God. This would be a huge treat. Okay. Movie plot number one. Like I said. This means a lot to me, so I'm actually really in this right now. Yell out your name.

I regret, I regret bringing cocky at the start of this actually now. Now that I'm about to play, it seems hard. Okay, movie number one. When a man finds himself in a spot of bother after a series of unfortunate incidents, he is forced to ask his best mate for help.

The problem is, his best mate is not really the kind of guy you should turn to in a crisis. Hamish. Hamish. Hamish. No, not Braveheart. Does that mean I get a free go? Doesn't he ask his best mate to come and fight with him?

Yeah, it could fit that, but I'm not talking about Braveheart. Bree? Okay. Is it? Free guess. Dumb and Dumber. It's not Dumb and Dumber. Damn it!

Neither of you get a point. The movie was filmed in the Catlins in New Zealand. Bree! Hamish. It was Hamish. It's a cult Kiwi classic, Two Little Boys. Fantastic. You're familiar with that one, Hamish? Another great piece of work that is in my canon.

Okay, movie number two. During 1998, a teenager sleepwalks out of his house one night and sees a giant, demonic-looking animal who tells him the world will end in 28 days. When the boy returns home, he finds the jet engine has crashed into his bedroom. Oh, Hamish. Hamish.

Is this Donnie Darko? It's Donnie Darko. This is bullshit. I don't know any of these films. Well, the game's over, so don't worry about it. Oh, my God, no. For a second there, I thought it was Braveheart again. I don't know any of these films The game's over So don't worry about it Oh my god no For a second there I thought it was Braveheart again

Well I did have one more film And you can go for a clean sweep If you like I'd love to A Scottish guy Flashes his bum At people Hamish

That's not bloody Braveheart Is it That's Braveheart He was already a film star You could have given me one thing. Ralph Breaks the Internet comes out on Boxing Day in New Zealand. If you want a double pass, call 0800-DARLS-AT-M right now. Oh, we've got free tickets.

We've got five double passes to give away. Five double passes? Oh, mate. Don't give away that, mate. We're still going to sell some tickets. We're making it rain here in New Zealand. This is huge. Hamish Blake, Thanks for the chat

and you're like, have I been on the pulse? Yeah, exactly. And I mean, everybody will be doing it at the moment. They go, oh, am I cool with what I'm listening to? Let me give you some data. The most streamed New Zealand artist for 2018 was 660. Makes sense, right? Could have picked that.

They smashed it I don't think they were not sold out stadium 50,000 people at Western Springs yeah yeah crazy

the most streamed album for Kiwis in 2018 you might be surprised at this I'm gonna say it's Lord Lord yep no because that album

is over a year old now most streamed album by Kiwis not an album by a Kiwi was Post Malone you know I said it I am better now better now now uh most streamed album by kiwis not an album by a kiwi was post maloney kiwis listen to this album beer bongs and bentley's more than any other album is that the name of the album beer bongs and bentley's love it yeah it's beer bongs it's not beer

Yep Not a fan Why don't you like it Producer Ellie? To be honest I just don't like Drake's music Really? I just can't stand it

And I don't know why It goes so big What about Hotline Bling? Nah not really even like that one either Might be in your genetics Like coriander I think that's it You know

Yeah that's it There's a subcategory Most streamed female artist Was Ariana Grande So not Not the top of the chart But the most streamed female Oh good for her

For the most streamed female I would have thought Ariana Grande had a bigger year Than Drake To be honest She has had a bigger year Than Drake Not the top of the chart, but the most streamed female. Oh, good for her for the most streamed female. I would have thought Ariana Grande had a bigger year than Drake. To be honest, she has had a bigger year than Drake. Just because his one song got streamed more than hers, I bet you her overall streams are bigger. And because she's a woman, her streams count for 30% less than hers. Exactly.

So, you know. I want to break this down. There's one more category I want to break this down to. This is where it gets quite interesting. These are the most streamed tracks by age group. Okay. Oh, cool. So we'll see if we're streaming the right songs for our age.

So we'll start with the kids first. This is people 0 to 17 years. I don't know how much the 0-year-olds are streaming. The biggest song this year for people under 17 was XXXTentacion. He died this year as well, so there was a lot of memorial streaming for XXXTentacion. I'm sorry, I don't know who that is. You don't know who that is?

No. Well, you're not cool with the under 17s. I'm old. Well, that's okay. Let's move into your age group. Oh, no, we won't yet. We'll do the 18 to 24s first. They like Drake.

You're right, mate. You're good. 18 to 24s first. They Like Drake. You're right, mate. You're good. 18 to 24s like Drake, okay? That's, hmm. Now we can move on to you. I'm actually glad I'm not in that age group. 25 to 29? Yes, that's me.

Most streamed song by 25 to 29-year-olds? Yes. I mean, it's huge. It's the most streamed track in the world. Now we'll move into Your age group My age group The 40 to 45s Excuse me

This is the 30 to 34 year olds Oh you're just in that age group Next year you'll be out I'm Excuse me I'm 31 The most streamed song By 30 to 34 year olds According to Spotify

Was A song called The Perfect Settling Tool for Babies. Amazing. What you're hearing in the background, this is the most streamed song by people in their 30 to 34s. So your age group? My age group.

Me and all my friends. This is your life? I don't have a baby. All my friends got babies. This is the number one thing on their Spotify playlist. I actually, behind your back, went and looked at your most streamed songs. Yeah.

And on your Spotify, it was the best songs to vape to. Oh, right. Weirdly, I think that sounds like this too. Sounds exactly the same. Remember how I told you about probably like a month ago now when you put me in the middle of it when you told me to get my car cleaned at the valet? Oh, yeah.

And the guy- Found a dirty pair of underwear under my seat. Now, before you think anything, people go, oh, she's been doing stuff in the car. No, I wish. I put on a dirty pair of jeans out of my dirty clothes basket one night. A dirty pair of underwear was still in my jeans, and I only realized it when I'd gotten out of my car. So I'd taken them out of my jeans, shoved them under my seat.

The guy who cleaned your car didn't know that, though. No, he did not know that. As far as he knows, he just found some dirty undies in your car. Lucky they were black. So, you know, it's not like they had skitties in them or anything. That's why I buy black underwear. If you're wearing white underwear, can I say, you're kidding yourself. Either that or you're an angel.

Or you're an angel. Yeah. Or you've surgically had your butt sewn up. What is going on in your downstairs where you can wear white underwear freely? You know, it was the last washing. Honestly. You know when you get down to your last pair of undies when you've put off washing for ages? Yep.

I got down to those the other day. White ones. Yeah. Put them on. Stains. It looked like I was going to perform at Sydney Mardi Gras. But I wore them. Have they got stains on them?

I don't know. I threw them in the bin as soon as I finished with them. I was like, I don't want to know about it. I was putting them in the bin. I got no need for these undies. like, I don't want to know about it. I put them in the bin. I got no need for these undies. A bit like your ex-girlfriend. What? What?

What? What? What? I put my... What? Move on. Anyway, I want to tell you about another story involving my car, which I'm pretty sure it's cursed.

Okay. So when I went and got it cleaned, something I didn't tell you was that I said to the guys, I said, don't worry about the boot because I had heaps of stuff in there. That's where you keep your dirty undies. No, it's not. I had like a quilt cover and some pillows and some towels from when I went camping. Oh, yeah.

So I said to them, I was like, oh, just leave it. Hang on, you went camping like three months ago. Yeah. Empty your car. There's no room for it in my apartment so i just leave it in the car anyway i also um about a month ago went shopping uh for food and i put my groceries in the back of my car yeah anyway i went to get some of the towels out of the back of my car yesterday yeah to clean them finally after a couple of months. Oh, your camping towels.

Yeah. Yeah, all right. Remember I told you I didn't use them though? Oh, so they were dry. They were dry. Okay. But I thought, better get them out. Yeah.

It's time. Oh, your groceries were still in there. No, no, no. So my groceries are not in there. I open the boot of my car and I'm like, what is that smell? Undies. Mate, dirty underwear. Get over it. I don't have any more dirty underwear.

Okay, cool. It was horrific. I was like, that is something bad coming from my boot. And it's somewhere in amongst these towels and quilts and whatever it is. So I've started to pull stuff out of the boot. Finally realized that when I put my groceries in there, they don't have plastic bags at my local supermarket anymore, do they? So I've obviously not rounded everything up.

A stray avocado. Oh. Had gotten away. How long? How long? Oh, my God. How long? I'm going to say a month and a half.

A month and a half in the boot of your car? Mate, let's put it this way. I couldn't even identify what it was. If we put your car under a blue light, honestly, I reckon the whole thing would glow. Seriously. It'd probably blow up. To get this thing out, no joke, it had hair. It had fur.

I'd never seen anything like it. It was honestly the worst thing I'd ever seen. Once I'd gotten it out, I'd realized that it was so bad, it dripped all the way through into the boot carpet. I literally, I'm not even joking, this sounds so bad, I got everything that was in that boot and put it straight in the bin. What, your duvets and everything? You live the weirdest life.

It was my backup duvet. It was the old duvet. I thought, well, you know, there's no resurrecting that. Right. You didn't see it. The worst bit is those avocados are so expensive, you still had to eat it. I read this real horrible story coming out of Victoria, Australia, this morning, and it was about this girl who met this American guy.

Oh, no, he was English, actually. Now that I think about it, it was this English guy. He was from the UK. He'd been travelling around Australia Australia and they hit it off. And they'd been dating for like a couple of months and they got pregnant. Oh, congratulations. Wasn't planned, but they decided to keep it. But a baby is a miracle and congratulations.

They decided to keep it. Even if you were planning to break up on the person, it doesn't matter. You now have a miracle. They thought, let's stay together. Let's stay together. Let's stay together. It'll be great. Anyway, at this point, she had never met his parents, but she knew that he had come from a fairly wealthy family.

Ooh. Yeah. I sounded like a real gold digger then. I apologize. Didn't you? Ooh, drop that anchor, baby. Get in the family for life. Kanye West.

I ain't saying you're a gold digger. Anyway, they ended up staying together. A year later, the kids grown up and they decide to get married. So they get married and they're in this relationship and she's feeling pretty unhappy and he's not treating her very well. Obviously, I don't think he's very happy either. Anyway, at this point, his parents come over from England to meet her, their new grandson.

Grandson? Granddaughter. Daughter-in-law. No, grandson. Oh, they want to meet the baby. Yeah, and her. And her, the whole family. Oh, okay, cool, yeah.

Anyway, so they stay for about two weeks and she finds them a bit snobby. And it was right at the end of the two weeks. Oh, my God, it's the King and Queen of England. No? Sorry, I jumped at the end of the story. No, it's not. Carry on. So they're just about to leave.

The day before, the dad of the husband says, hey, let's go for a walk. Yeah. So they decide to go for this walk and then he decided to proposition her and offers her an amount of money to leave their son. Oh, I thought he was going to say cheat on her. No. Oh. No.

He tries to pay her out of the family. So he pretty much says to her. So he doesn't like her. Is that it? I think it's not that they hated her, but they kind of said, you know, we come from this kind of lifestyle and we want him to be living back in England. Yeah. We will offer you this amount of money.

To leave him. To leave him. And she's already unhappy in the relationship. Yes. Take it. So how much money do you think they offered her? And they're wealthy? $250,000.

God, that's what you'd be hoping for. If it was... Okay, you want to ask me how much would I do it for? They're not super wealthy, but they're... What kind of wealthy are they? Do they have a horse and stables? Or do they have a couple of nice Range Rovers? They've got like a Mercedes.

Okay. If you're going to leave them anyway... Yeah. $50,000? They offered a $20,000. Your Mercedes Okay If you're going to leave them anyway Yeah 50 grand? They offered her 20 Oh that's a slap in the face It is isn't it? Yeah She said make it 30

Did she really? You got a deal Oh yeah Anyway she's written about it on this website That's the power of negotiating though If he said 20 he's got 40 She should have said 50 She should have said 50

Why wouldn't you say 50? She should have said 50. She should have said 50, yeah. Why wouldn't you say 50? She should have said 50 or I'll tell him. Yeah. But then maybe, you know, the son wouldn't have cared that much. Anyway, a year later, the son's back over in England, sees his kid a couple of times a year, and she said she's never been happier. Wow.

So this is a happy ending? Happy. It is. It's a happy bribe story. It is. It's a happy bribe story. It is. Everybody got what they wanted. Yep. They got rid of her.

She got 30 grand. The kid's fine, right? The kid's fine. Did the kid live with the evil grandparents or with the $30,000 mum? With the $30,000 mum. Fantastic. Happy ending. Living free.

I wish all breakups worked that way.
