Oh, is Flatbush south? Yeah, Flatbush is south. Derry Flat is north. Now, was it named such because it's a lot of bush, it's flat? It's a flat area with some bush. How did you get there? What was the process? So I was like, well, obviously it's flat.

Okay. And you got that from the flat? Or bush, yeah. So maybe, obviously it's flat. Okay. And maybe they've got a bit of shrubbery. And you got that from the flat? Or bush, yeah. So maybe the land is quite flat. Yeah. Or undulating. Yeah.

In the very least. Yeah, yeah. And yeah, I was thinking maybe. Bush. There's bush. Not trees. No, bush. Sort of a scrub.

But scrubs because then they're like not trees. Yeah. Because otherwise it would be flat tree. That's how I got there. Yeah, exactly. The way your mind works, it's so intricate and interesting. You know, how he gets from A to B. Yeah.

I would never think that way. O to be inside my mind. Yeah, O to be inside of it. I've just Googled it. Yeah, what is it? It's actually named after a flat that George Bush lived in. Oh, wow. Unbelievable.

Lovely blouse. I love your podcast, and listen to you guys, when my boyfriend and I were travelling Ireland in July. Oh, fantastic. Lots of laugh out louder. Yep. I can't wait to go back to Ireland for so many reasons. I've never been.

Never been. Your reasons I feel would mostly be horny reasons. Sexual, yeah. Yeah. But I've been to Galway. That's the only place I've been. And you still haven't watched that TV show. Oh, no.

Kin. Kin. I know. Fuck, it's so good. Yeah, I know. I need to watch it. I need to watch it. Nicest thing that happened this year.

Boyfie saw me at my drunkest ever. There was vomit, and I floated the bathroom as I slept on the shower-blocking drain, and the door was wide open. And he wasn't mad at all. He just looked at me. True love there. That's also a man that's done something similar

and recognises that we can get a little carried away. Sometimes. Sometimes moderation, it flies out the window. It does. Watch your moderation. Naughtiest moment of the year was when I screamed recognizes it. Oh, yeah, yeah. We can get a little carried away. Sometimes. Sometimes moderation, it flies out the window. We don't know where we are. It does. We've got to watch our moderation. Naughtiest moment of the year was when I screamed at my manager in our one-on-one that I hated this place and I've lost all respect and trust for management.

Still employed, though, and still hating it. Screamed at him that I hate this place. My 2025 goal is new job. Oh, yeah. I used to listen to the radio and surf the stations whenever talking came on, but now I'm solely an FEH podcast listener because you guys make my day, Brody. Merry Christmas.

Oh, that's so lovely. So sweet. Thank you. Caroline G., I hope you get a new job. Yes. But don't, do you know when people are like quit and then they find a job? No, no, no. That gives me so much anxiety.

Tee a job up and then quit. Have some crossover. Yeah. Easiest to get a job when you've already got a job. Is that the old saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you ever yelled at an employer? Yes. Have you?

I'm sure we have. I just sit there and I go. Yeah. I don't think I ever have. I haven't had many employers, to be honest. Yeah. To be fair. Maybe I'll try it in my time.

Before I leave radio, I'm going to scream. Scream at someone. Yeah. Let them bloody have it. I had a friend this year who got called into the office, and they said, look, we're having to make some cuts, and you're fired. Oh, gosh.

He was like, fuck. And he was like, this is great, because I was just having to – this is what he told me. I was going to have to figure out how to tell them I'm leaving. Yeah, gross. And so he got all this redund great because i was just having a this is what he told me i was going to have to figure out how to tell them i'm leaving yeah and so he got all this redundancy gorgeous and he was like at work that day like how am i going to tell them i'm gonna maybe i'll do it after lunch and they said look we need a meeting and they said you're fired and he's like oh my god pretend to be devastated greatest timing in the world yeah oh no what am i gonna do pay out

like redundancy and gets to start a new job. It's perfect. That's perfect. That's amazing. That's how I want to go. That's the way to do it. Maybe Caroline can take a note from that. Caroline who?

But I am doing my best to change that. Oh, thank you. Wait, you're trying to change. You don't want to be the biggest fan anymore. Yeah. Or she wants to be. She's trying to find a reason to despise us. To leave.

Okay. Should we say something terrible that makes her hate us? Ontario, Canada. Man, Canada is beautiful. Maple syrup. Golden syrup is better. It's not, though. It's not. It's not. It's not.

It's not. I can't even say it. It's just not. Although you can't make hokey pokey with maple syrup. You can't. Well, can you? High water content, but that's why they freeze it out, right? Yeah.

Freeze out the water. I'm shouting out my own damn self because I deserve it and I'll never get to call into your live radio show in my life, although I've always really wanted to. You can. You just go 0064. 64. No, because 0800 you can't call. No, and then there is an office line.

We could sort this out. We'll give you the office line and they can put you through. And you can call whenever you want because you're the only person that'll be calling that. Yes, lovely. That'll work. Nicest thing that happened this year, I finally moved out of my parents' house to a new town. Nice.

Naughtiest moment of the year, I'm a beautiful angel and I can do no wrong. That feels like she's done quite a lot of wrong. Yeah, it's those people that are the dark horses. She probably murdered someone. Oh, no, I was thinking something like light. Oh. Naughty, but, you know, like. Yeah, like said something bad about someone.

Yeah. Or like opened a car door in the car park and scraped or dinged the car next door and then drove off didn't leave an eye maybe wrote something

What was he going to do to it? What was he going to? Well, I don't know. Maybe he was going to lance it and suck out the goo.

You've got a medical needle. Now, that's great. Fletch, you should put that in your drawer for the next time you've got a real big pimple. That thing was sharp.
