Sophie is from Danny Burke. She says, Merry Christmas. Thanks for all the laughs. I'm making early mornings with young kids bearable. Highlight of the year was getting married in February. A dream marquee wedding on our farm. Oh, lovely. Juiciest moment of the year.

Sorry, congratulations. Honestly, I'm a boring human with a little juicy gossip. I'm probably yelling at my 54-year-old co-worker grew up in an actor age after she wrote a very bitchy teenage post about being off work sick with kids. So random. I fly on the wall, for obvious reasons.

I hate being in drama, but love watching it unfold. That's her... Yeah, lovely. Fly. We love that. You do have to literally eat shit as a fly. I think you vomit up, hey, and then whatever you vomit up, dissolves, whatever you vomited onto.

And a lot of cases, shit. Or rotting flesh, and then you eat it again. Right. Not a life, I'd leave. I like oysters too much. It wouldn't be worth it. Taranaki is where Megan is from. She says, Merry Christmas, Year 3.

Thanks for the unhinged tangent sidebars and company while I do chores and exercise. Producers shunned? Oh, yeah. Unless she meant the two producers and only one of us. We've been lucky to have a few mini-weekend holidays this year around Altiero as a family. It's been really fun and special little family memories. Juiciest moment of the year, almost being late to a wedding due to adult fun times with the hubby. My goodness me

You would have you turned up to the wedding Or tussled and flushed Hmm Maybe my reincarnation Maybe a couch With a sentient mind Because I could still listen to all the family Goss and watch TV

That or a movie But then one of your family members Is sitting on you Yeah Or someone's jizzing on you Whatever Oh Just don't sit on my couch

If you come to my house Absolutely Absolutely Absolutely Fucking destroying your corners Yeah exactly No don't be a couch That's pretty rough

That's rough as Kylie is in Melbourne This must be Minogue It is Kylie Minogue actually She's to love laughter And getting through the holiday season Without any arguments With my sister Danny and my brother's

Holy shit it is here Highland of the year Is travelling into Japan with my family Danny and I grew up pretty poor So to give my kids the opportunity to travel Always makes me so proud of how far My husband I've come to my husband Oh that's nice

There's that meme online That if I met my kids When I was a kid They would have been the rich kids Oh that's yeah wow That's 100% true Yeah. Like, my kids get takeaways.

Kind of... We used to get smacked, lightly beaten. No takeaways. No takeaways. So our snitzel wasn't even crumbed. Margarine on white bread. Ooh. Sometimes we just had uncrumbs.

Your snitzel wasn't crumbed. My snitchin version crammed. It's just chewy beef. It's little strips of chewy beef. I would want to be reink kind of as a dog. They're so loved by everybody. Isn't that what we all want? If I was keeping tally, I'd say dog might be on a comeback.

Maybe we shouldn't call the election just yet. That's why I said don't call the election. They do smell, though. I was around at someone's house the other day, and they had one of those big old Labradors that's sort of, like, fucking overweight and really, like, weepy and in the house. Saggy, dribbly.

Stunk of dog. Yeah, dogs are for outsides. Yeah. Shout out to my friend Amelia. Oh, so I do apologize. This is for Steph and Dunedinidon. Oh, yeah. Shout out to my friend Amelia.

We've both been avid listeners to your show for many years. I've been listening since this is what crazy looks like. When we were both lucky enough to go out to Haley's shows when she came to Dunedonidon, we had the best time. Amelia gave Haley a standing ovation Well, no one else followed, so she would look like a fucking idiot Just standing up Where was the rest of the crowd?

I just don't think the show deserved a standing o, did it? Sorry? What? You've literally seen it more than anyone else. I was made to. She made me go. Three times. Super fan.

Yeah, she made me go. If it had opened in Kahn's, they would have given it a 48 minute standing ovation. Yeah, they would have to have stood there. Yeah, and she's taking it. Thank you. Thank you. We just, we downplay everything. Yeah, we do.
