Shoutouts. Okay. Yeah. Meri kerehameite. No, that actually, by the way, I just want to say a couple of days ago you struggled with it. Really struggled with it. And I did I trip over the he meet. I think it's, because how did I say it the day I said it to you?

I said, merikeremete. Yeah, you've got to add another syllable. Yeah, the real white person. That's Māori for Merry Christmas. Yeah. It is. Massive shout out to my sister, Zanita in Perth. This is the one we talked about.

talk about FIFA veneers. We should talk about FIFA veneers. I matched... Have I still got the picture of this guy? You should see this guy. It's fucking... You've got a nickname everybody

that you... Anyone you connect with... Connect with or mate or whatever. By some means you give them a nickname. It was Fifo Vaniers. Because they were... a fly-in-fly-out. Oh, I unmatched with that whole period of time.

Yeah, and he had Veneers. Fifee Veneers was his nickname and he was a fly-and-fly-out mine worker in Perth. But he'd gone through all of his photos and whitened all of his teeth. Fuck me, the fake white Hollywood teeth on this guy. So we called him FIFO Veneers.

Not to be confused of the original veneers. Yeah. Who was from Auckland. Yeah. We just called him Veneers. Yeah. He was lovely. Everybody has a nickname. And join us later when we go through Haley's phone for all the nicknames. Yeah, and then we're going to do the same with your phone too.

Melt it with a toaster. Yeah, you could get a toaster on that. Compliment for Haley because she loves them and deserves them.

To the producers and FBAH you guys are awesome. Produce a hell of a podcast. I know there are lots of Kiwis overseas. who listen religiously for a little slice of a home. Highlighted the year, I had a perfect

24 hours where I went to a funky brass band, too many zoos, while living in Revelstoke with mates. Then hiked Monica Meadows the next day in October to see the large trees turn yellow. It was the next 24 hours filled with amazing friendship, dancing, laughing, nature and chito puffs. Don't really need much more in life.

Isn't that nice thing? Larch That's so... Wholesome. Oh my goodness. Like that. Oh my goodness. Like that. Proper autumn. I feel like you see A lot of these around Arrow Town. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Beautiful. Do Google along, dear listener. And for an interactive experience. When we say, oh, why don't you Google, you should Google it at home. Pause the podcast, have a little Google and come back. It's a 4D podcast We can actually spit through the podcast Yeah we can

So Smithers Canada Excellent It's gotten so much better McAlla's in Lancashire Shout out to the lad I met in Wellington In about 2013 when I was doing some travelling Pretty sure his name was Thomas And he worked at the coffee place inside a shopping mall

Anyway I got finger Oh Hayley fucked him too didn't you? No that was James from Scoper Anyway I know you fucked a barista Yeah Well no she didn't in McKay She got fingered by him on the city to sea bridge.

Fucking hell! That's what she said. She says it. Pretty sure his name is Thomas and he worked at the coffee place inside the shop. Oh my gosh, she did say that. Anyway, got fingered by him on the city to see bridge. Good times. Wait, I got fingered on the city to see.

What a Thomas is a serial fingera? That's why I thought you were putting, you were saying rude things about McCabe. No, I'm fingering people, willy-nilly. Wait, am I the only one that hasn't been fingered on the city to see? It's a right of passage in Wellington you have to get fingered on the city to see bridge And now, no, it's getting shut down now It's all right, hey, it's going to watch out of the needles

You're going, yeah, the natals are terrible Well, you do want to watch out of needles when you're getting fingered Of course you do Yeah, but their city to sea bridge is going, right? It's going, yeah So can you please not have been messaging your children When we're having this? They've said, what are you?

I just looked at him for the father of the fucking year Well, I'm not messaging them about the finger, right? A wholesome activity. Dad's at a wholesome work thing. It's just doing it work. You know what his show's like? It's very public there. As someone who has been fingered on the city to see.

I know, I was going to say. Trucks and stuff go underneath. All sorts. Highlight of the year was getting engaged to my gorgeous partner. Brackett's no public fingering here. And booking our wedding for next year on an alpaca farm. My goodness, isn't it? Don't they scream?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They sound like the monkeys off the Hunger Games movies. You're doing your wedding and it's like, no. Reincarnation choice is a capybara. So chill, unbothered and unashions. Shamidly chunky. That was another one hiding at the fucking zoo.

The Cubby Barrow. Sometimes I wonder if they even have these animals. I thought they were quite out-com. I think they're lying to us half the time. Carly is next from Roxburgh. Shout out to myself and family who are all at school or work while I have a shower when I listen to your podcast most days and hang out with you guys.

Lovely. Juiciest moment of it could never say. What do you think Carly's body wash of choices or is she a bar of soap? Radox. The blue radox. A protex. Blue radox.

Carly from Roxburgh. Because they're a family, so they all share it in one. I reckon it's a palm olive. It's a palm olive pump. It's one of the white milky dubs. Yes. You know, we've got to have like moist skin and it's sort of neutral. But do you think it's not a bar of soap though?

No, fuck no. No, but sometimes, you know, those Central Otago people love a bar of soap. Yeah, they do with a pub attached. They're like, because you're out on the farm and they just need a protex, you know, antinaterial, you know, a big body kind of a thing. But please, Carly, message in. And for the first podcast of the year, we'll update what your soap is. Yeah, fantastic. It's only a week to wait.

Yeah, Carly Roxborough, what soap we're using in the shower there? Juicyest moment, I could never say, but about to have the juicy part of the year with all the summer fruit. Do you guys remember Roxburgh of Cherry Chaos? Yeah, it was fun. Yeah, we went down to that, didn't we? Yeah. It was going to be reincarnated a bird. Interesting that someone that deals off stone fruit.

So he tends to come back as a bird. Because she knows how many cherries you get a lot. She also knows that there will be an owl in that cherry orchard that could swoop down and end her life immediately unless she is the owl. Well, she just said a bird. Absolutely. I'd be an hour. What a great bird. What a great bird.

Cali from the Hawks Bay is next to a podcast. Christmas shout out to a couple of friends I met through the podcast. Sean Grover Alex. Oh, Kielder. Love Alex. Vaughn's personal engineer. Chris, I told you Chris bought a 15-meter boat. He's going to live on a boat.

Can we go on it? Yeah, he said more. Okay, fantastic. Wait, what's your like a dress for careers when you live on a boat? Number one, the boat. It's actually really good. He's got a workshop. So I guess it's sent to work.

Yeah, but if you don't have a workshop, what do you just like chuck it off the Kind of the footbridge. You get it sent to the local post shop, right? And then you go. Yeah. Shot to Chris and Alex with the regular yarns, laughs, tea, questionable memes and personal roasting. You're the best. Lucky to have yours, pals.
