Flashworn and Haley's Christmas Cocktail Special. Welcome to the Christmas Cocktail Special. The live show and Big Podcast is back on Monday the 19th of January after the break. Well, we are going straight to Ireland for today's shoutouts. I would just like to say, just in terms of a cocktail update, I've been apparently demoted from espresso martini maker because he was like, oh, they're so strong. Yeah.

I think it was also just getting you back on the tools, you know, you were going to be distracted. by that for maybe 10 minutes. We're trying to do this the most time-efficient way possible. All right. Before we end up completely incoherent and unable to work tomorrow. Thank you for another year of banter and foolishness, says Victoria. It's nice to have you use part of my daily routine on Spotify.

I think she means eye heart. I think she does. I heart radio, yes. No, just I heart. Oh, sorry, you wait. Yeah, sorry, HBO Max. Even though I don't listen live, I actually have a question that I would like some advice on depending on how many cocktails you've had.

Oh, go, go, go. I've had one. What would you do if you have a friend who is going through a difficult time in their life, but the only time they will talk to you it will seem interested in you is that they want to have someone there to rant to or when they want a favor. Don't let it go because...

Do you let it go? Do you let it go because they're going through a difficult time or do you confront them and tell them it's making you feel a certain way? Thanks for being there for the listeners. Oh, okay. Someone that's done nothing but trauma dump on everybody this year.

I think it depends on how long you've been friends and the quality of your friendship. And also, I wouldn't say from their point of view that they don't want anything to do with you other than when they need a vent or dump. They're just going through a lot. Yeah. And so they don't have headspace to talk to you about the old

good times around the corner. I'd give it a bit more time. Yeah, I'd give it some time. Yeah. They don't for a really tough time. But you also feel free to tell them they're making you feel a certain way. Yeah.

But try to word it as such as you're not piling on more shit. Just better. Hey, let's talk about something happy. Let's talk about something that's good then. You know what I mean? Highlight of the year I got to go to my favourite country in Canada for the fifth time on holiday. Juiciest moment of the year, my husband and I have decided to start trying for a baby in the year, but no one else knows.

Oh, we do now. Okay, we do. Grand Carnation, come back as a cat, because it would all just get treats and cuddles all day. That's what people think. Nicaa is from Canada, which is, you remember Victoria from Belfast from 10 seconds ago. That was her favorite country. She's been there five times. We should.

We should. We should. I pass where that show is at Irish show that I like, the gangsters. Did you watch that? No, is that what it's called? Yes. The one with Charlie Coxon. I never watched it even though I love the Irish.

Yeah, it was so good. Was that Belfast or Dublin? Dublin, I think it was Dublin, yeah. As a Kiwi living overseas, says Nick here, I often do miss home, but one of my constant go-tos is listening to you guys on eye heart. Killed. It's the highlight of my morning, especially during the depths of winter. My Christmas shout-out is especially for my friend Riley,

who at the time of submission, 25th of October, is fundraising for November. The man is running 25Ks a day. Wow. Down at the pavilion with each lap. does. I recline the many interesting retail, re- recall, the many funny, interesting and often useless facts at Vaughn shares for that fact of the day. Shout out to Riley Scott for putting in the hard mahie and fundraising for a good cause all the way over here in Canada. Highlight

of the year, I went tree planting. So my highlight was living in a tent for three months with a bunch of sick people. Three months! In a tent. In a tent. No, I'm good, thank you. Juiciest moment of the year, almost died in a helicopter when I tree planting. Someone hadn't set the cage on the outside of the helicopter correctly, and when we were airborne, two giant tarps flew out and flirted with the idea of going into the propellets. Oh my God, that's insane. They flirted with the idea. That is crazy. Madness. We're going back to Ireland. John says... Give it a good... Give it a giggity go.

Degu-dibiggy-dig-diggity-gigdy-d-d-d-d-de-de-a-bbo. But you know that's not how it says. No, it's actually. She'll I Google. Can you get the How to Say Deandre? Well, I've got the Translation app don't I

International podcast Listener here originally from Ireland I moved to New Zealand in 2014 Where I believe It was around the time You boys were

Returning from your Gardening leave How was that by the one Oh my God. Everybody needs garden leave in their life. Oh, I'd love a bit of gardening leave. It means God bless. And that means hello everyone.

But how is it pronounced? Okay. Hello everyone. That's fucking English, you idiot. You asked me how's it pronounced? Okay. In Irish, how's it pronounced? Oh, thank you, Michael.

Oh, no, it doesn't. It's not letting me do it. I don't think Surrey does it. This is so disappointing. That was real weird. I thought that. Yeah, it changed it. It always does that, though, because it goes to the most common version of that.

Yeah, right. Between the promotion of your new show and the fact that my Subaru legacy radio only went up to 90 FM, you were very much forced upon me 11 years ago, and I'm still listening daily via the podcast. So that's kind of like a Stockholm syndrome. We got a, with a, him, sorry, with a Japanese import radio. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here is how to say hello, and it's reply. In Irish, Gaelic.

That's nice. Gia rich. Gerech. It doesn't even look like that. Yeah. Did he spell it right? Gia d'lre. Sometimes I think I'd be well suited to all of you in some way or another.

For Haley, there's the Irish accent. More dittily, diddley, dittily than devil of Dublin. Thank you so doubt. Wow. For Vorn, I come from a farming background, like my whisky, and I'm also a dad. And for Fletch, I'll always walk like I've been somewhere out. Like, I've got somewhere else to be. Yeah, good, fast.

Fast, man. And I just say great. And a decent D. He says he's got a decent D. We've got a good dick on her hands. We've got a good dick on a Irish accent and a wonderful top-notch dick. Why would you be interested in that? A fast walking top-notch Irish dick.

I did my masters. Oh, you did it. Cheers. We've got a new espresso martini, by the way. Oh. By the way, the espresso martini is perfect. I will say it's nailed it. All right.

It's hard. It's done well there, Mike. You've done well there. Flipside. I'm too young for. Bailey, too old for Fletch, and apart from the A4 mention, too white for Vaughn. How old?

Thanks for the many, many laughs as always, it seems like this year may or may not have been a tough year, but once you continue to show up and entertainers. They are, they just.

It's like they're packed up on some major life events. Yeah, it's like they have. You guys have honestly never been funnier, so keep it up as I really need. To be more miserable when we get funnier. It's crazy. What you're saying is the crying clowns. To keep it up, entertainer my commute and constant chores and clean. I take care, look forward to laughing with you next year.

That's Sydney. Remember that Sydney short film that won that radio? It's never been more true. It's so good. I don't remember that. It was a tropic film fest entry and this guy was like crying all the way to work. And then it turns out, he gets there and he works in radio and he turns the microphone. He's like, good morning, Sydney and so I was dedicated to Kyle Sandylands.

So it was actually really, really well done a little short film. It would be a fly, so I could be a fly on the wall to listen to everyone's convoes and get all the gossip. also who flies. Maybe a sloth, so I can sleep all day. Slotskir. Oh, the two chants. Slate chan trams sloth. Yeah, but we have said their mingers.

Olivia is from Auckland saying, we want to say a very merry Christmas to Lauren Domigan, who is 30 this year. We're having a girls weekend to celebrate. I can't believe we're turning 30. This also means we've known each other longer than we haven't. We met in high school over a podcast. Over the podcast.

Now, this baby, a little boy is just turned one. Crazy how time flies. Now I'm not sure if this is the crowd,

but let's encourage Lauren to have a baby. Okay. If she wants to. Highlanded the official becoming a full-time stay-at-home mom. I have always gone back to work on a teaching contract. That's when my baby leave this year, but I gave up the teaching contract. And they have just been in time. Get right back into it.

Aisha says... Can I just pause to say Mike's espresso martini is so much better than mine. Yeah, it really is. It really is. It's fine does he don't use petroleum, honey. The ratios were way better. I know, these coasters have been doing this for like eight years. I'm so sorry.

And I keep saying, I've got to buy new coasters. You get wooden ones on. I know, I know. Wooden ones get the weird stain on them. Oh, I know. So I'm a stone, but then they'll stick to stone. They still have cork ones and they went all funny. Can't we just raw dog on your table?
