but without the C. Ant. R&T. I can enunciate. Ant. He's an A. Aunt. He's an A. Aunt. I accidentally the girl math too hard, this is the juicest member of the year, and ruined my birthday surprise. I was breaking down the cost of a trip to see Phantom of the Opera, which is touring again here in the US. He kept trying to talk me out of it, but eventually caved and told me everything. We'll be going

with my mum and sisters to St. Louis. St. Louis. Louis. Illinois. Illinois. Sir Louis. Louis. St. Louis. This February for my 30th and seeing The Phantom there. Oh my God, I've seen it before I cried. The Phantom of the Opera is here.

That's all I know Inside your mind The way 2025 went My reincarnation choice Would be a cicada So I can nap for 17 years And wake up in a tree

And just scream For a few days Then die What a, imagine having that much sleep Yeah, that'd be lovely Wouldn't it? What a shit year for you? I hope 2026 is the year

I can be a crow We should have done What was your best sleep this year Oh Because mine was when my operation I just woke up feeling like I'd sleep For like a million years I've got a colonoscopy

Well, we hope so too, Cora. Lawrence in Auckland, Flas, Vaz and Haz. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. I want to use my shout-out to say very Merry Christmas. I'm a good friend Olivia Williams, best friends for life, and shout out how generous of a gal she is

with her money and her time. Our mutuals have been having babies, and she's been bending over backwards to be a good friend. You're as a good bitch. Straight stow, don't they? I love her forever. Also, shout out to the show. What a year.

Has it been a bit. It's a couple of a fucking year, right? Highlight of the year, booking and all my hangouts with my friends at the beginning of the year. Scheduling in nights in May, July, September and November at the beginning of the year

means I actually saw my friends and did stuff, not just catching on, comparing our list of what's new for you. Got to have something in the cow. I love that, yeah. We always say it. Yeah.

Reincarnation choice to be Fletcher's cat. I want that lush life. Maybe I get sick of being locked up, so I'd want to come back as a rich person's cat, like a spoiled cat with an iPad in a year. Lovely. Cats are winning for show. They are.

I don't know cats had you. No one's coming back as a dog, are they? Nah, not yet. You get to lick your own anus so. Yeah. Well, cats also look their own anus. It's 25. We're all doing it.

Sorry? Steve. Steve from Auckland. That's why your barley belly belly won't just say. What is Steve from? Quit licking asses. Take you what to do. Hey, Tim.

Huge thanks for getting me through some dark, tough times of the podcast, some banter you like therapy, but way more entertaining. and cheaper, he says, significantly cheaper. Fleaks you the glue holding the group together. Vaughn, you're my go-to-guy who always replies, and Haley, your openness is refreshing. If I were single, I'd be hitting you up, as one is want to do. Steve.

Big shout out to Shannon and Carwin, too. You're both awesome. I'm off to Wales in the UK next year, but I'll be listening from afar. Before I go, I'd like to bring some presents in if it's okay. Vaughn, I have a proper 12 whiskey with your name. Oh, for a second there, I thought that said I have poppers. I was like, okay. I have poppers and whiskey.

Bring you some paupers and whiskey. Yeah. Okay. You're going to drink the whiskey and then you're just going to take some puppets. You'll definitely enjoy this more than I. Fletch and Haley, I'm open to suggestions, nothing too expensive. It's nothing too expensive. I'm thinking of Whitaker's arm and gold.

We'll just refer to what we just mentioned. That's lovely. You don't have to do that. No, we don't need gifts. But definitely come in and visit. International listeners are always welcome. Yep. No, he's not an international.

Oh, no. Stay away then. Is that stalker? If you're a local, it's stalking. Get away from our window. It's stalking. No, of course. I joke.

Of course, you're more than welcome. Hi to my. Vaughn can attest that my highlights are there as simple, anything my kids do, award ceremony, sports events, always making me proud and humble each and every day. But do you not get jealous of them for achieving. I think that's what I'd be as a parent. They'd do well and I'd be like, there are parents like that, though. It's crazy. Mom, I won the speech competition and I'm like, I don't know, man.

I've got a degree in acting. And then you sit the kids down and you're like, okay, kids, I've made a speech. Do you want to hear my speech that I did when I was your age? Now that's our speech. So a shout out to Steve's kids, Jasper, Amelia, Eisen. and Miles. Four kids, man. Snip,

Snip, Steve, are we snips now? Yeah, let's get a snip there, Steve. Steve, we'll snip that right up. That's getting into van territory. Oh, that's bus. It's a courtesy tavern kind of. It's a full van. It's a Mitsubishi high pack.

Yeah. Sports packs. Sports pack. Reincarnation choice would be a warm blanket on a freezing night, comforting, reliable and exactly what people will need whenever else feels, everything else feels cold and messy. We've got to give it here. Just a pure, simple goodness that makes life.

a bit better. What a good person I'd be proud of. Good on you, Stephen. Steve, he feels like a better person than us. Steve, Merry Christmas. He does. He oozes better person than us. If he came to one of our parties, he'd be like, my God.

Would you clean up your act? Yeah, if he was in Bali, the things. Yeah. Next is Victoria and Auckland. Wanted to wish you guys of Merry Christmas. Your show's the highlight of my day. Makes the 4 a.m. drive to work enjoyable. Oof, you do.

I also finally reach my target weight loss goal of 45Ks after years. Holy, moly. What an effort. Well done. Incredible.

Reincarnation shorts that come back as a toad. No one really bothers you and you just chill for most of them. That's right. I get so bored though, understimulated. As a toad, you can be as stimulated as you like. How do as a toad stimulate oneself? With the tongue. The tongue can reach the arm. If your tongue could reach like a frog, though, you'd constantly be.

I don't know if you would be You reckon? No, okay, anyway Alright, move on Hit the music producer Shannon No, we're not finished Yes we are Shut up Bourne
