Speaker 1: want to talk about?
Speaker 2: It was the weekend.
Speaker 3: Boys, there's a one as a go on, it's a
Speaker 3: go on. That's my weekend. Oh, I went a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 3: I went and to family stuff this weekend. It was
Speaker 3: my sister's baby shower and there's already had one. So
Speaker 3: someone said to me, it's a baby spring cole in there.
Speaker 3: But either way, she got presents, she head cakes. She
Speaker 3: was pretty happy about it. It was so nice up
Speaker 3: to the beautiful winter north that rained the whole time
Speaker 3: we were there. Love to hang out with the family.
Speaker 3: Beat one with my sister in order of her mate.
Speaker 3: Does your mom come up for her?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: She certainly did no show without punch mate. She was
Speaker 3: there with boughs on. I did some great regional things.
Speaker 3: I went to a regional antique store. Got buyers remorse
Speaker 3: because I saw something that I really wanted and I
Speaker 3: was like, I'm going to go back the next day
Speaker 3: and get it. Guess what it happens in the regions
Speaker 3: things open. No, Okay, so I can say it now
Speaker 3: because it's not going to happen. But I've done all
Speaker 3: my Christmas shopping apart from my need to do one thing,
Speaker 3: which was a secret Saner present for a family Christmas
Speaker 3: of my best mate. And it was explained probably it
Speaker 3: was a figurine or a little statue of a Catholic
Speaker 3: priest and he was all dressed up in his garb.
Speaker 3: It was a little flinging on his neck.
Speaker 1: What do they called the white collar? Yeah, I didn't
Speaker 1: you know what that's called. I have a name, they
Speaker 1: do have a name. Yeah, forgive us lord, And he
Speaker 1: was sort of good, I mean to be fair. Forgive
Speaker 1: us for a lot of things. Yeah, you're not remembering
Speaker 1: what the white collar is not low down on the
Speaker 1: list of things he needs to forgive us for.
Speaker 3: We give us for the past. I don't give us
Speaker 3: for the future anyway, anyway. And so I've stood up
Speaker 3: for this one because this is a visual demonstration, which
Speaker 3: you appreciate the podcast. And so he is like leaning
Speaker 3: over like this, So he's kind of got his ass
Speaker 3: cropped out and he's leaning down and in the small
Speaker 3: of his back you can put a wine bottle.
Speaker 1: Oh, very health, very Kim Kardassians.
Speaker 3: A very Kim Kardashian and I was like, this is
Speaker 3: absolutely perfect. This family has got some great Catholic roads.
Speaker 3: This will be perfect.
Speaker 1: But wait, what happened? So you went and saw it?
Speaker 1: And then did you think I'm not sure or you
Speaker 1: were in a Russian you thought I'd go back later?
Speaker 3: What it was actually even sillier than that. We saw
Speaker 3: it and we're like, oh, this would be a great one.
Speaker 3: But the limit of this secret Xander is twenty dollars
Speaker 3: and this thing was thirty five dollars. Firstly, who the
Speaker 3: fuck would know whether it was twenty dollars or twenty
Speaker 3: five dollars. It was a job done. We were into
Speaker 3: the car and I was like, we should have got there,
Speaker 3: and Matt was like, yeah, we definitely should have got there.
Speaker 3: And I thought, well, come back tomorrow. Brog all the
Speaker 3: way back there nothing?
Speaker 1: How far north was it?
Speaker 3: So this is up in Funday. So I think it's
Speaker 3: called treasures and troves or something like that. So if anyone,
Speaker 3: if we've got any Fangaday Gators coming to walk real
Speaker 3: good one, is it called treasure and tros.
Speaker 1: I have to look at my messages because mother was
Speaker 1: my mother went to be back together on Monday also
Speaker 1: closed on a Monday.
Speaker 2: You per spars between Tuesday and Saturday.
Speaker 3: Treasure drove. It's called can you riddle me this?
Speaker 1: While we're on the subject of things closing, So sorry,
Speaker 1: let's let's put it. Let's wrap this up.
Speaker 3: It up.
Speaker 1: So if for Gator is in far today and they're
Speaker 1: coming to walk on the next when do you need
Speaker 1: a buy?
Speaker 2: Oh, two weeks, two weeks time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know where treasures and troves are, yeah,
Speaker 1: held us up.
Speaker 3: It's sort of like in Fangaday town. You go out
Speaker 3: towards my new past the hospital a bit further on
Speaker 3: that way, small town starts of them.
Speaker 1: The So a couple of things. One, why wouldn't an
Speaker 1: antique store be open on a Sunday? Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 3: It's so crazy.
Speaker 1: That seems like the regions that seems like the perfect
Speaker 1: antiquing day to me.
Speaker 2: It does.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and on that lord day.
Speaker 1: On that note, just up the road from our neighborhood
Speaker 1: is a very good like Malaysian tie restaurant. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: I can't remember if it's Malaysian or Tie. They do
Speaker 1: a meager ring, which says to me Malaysian. But they
Speaker 1: also do a lot of Thie inspired dishes. So maybe
Speaker 1: it's just a amalgamation all very good food. Not open
Speaker 1: on a Sunday. Isn't Sunday like key takeaway.
Speaker 2: Night Friday and Sunday?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I suppose people are all had to have time off?
Speaker 1: Are they random? Monday or Tuesday night off when most
Speaker 1: people are cooking at home?
Speaker 3: Well, the space is also closed on Monday because I
Speaker 3: set my mum there the next day because she was
Speaker 3: still up there. So you're going up between Tuesday and Saturday.
Speaker 2: Yesterday when we recorded.
Speaker 1: The parameters are time. But I've got faith.
Speaker 2: I've got faith.

Speaker 1: a like relaxing weekend as much as I could. We
Speaker 1: woke up, We woke up at a reasonable hour on Sunday,
Speaker 1: like seven a m. Or something. But we stayed in
Speaker 1: bed for like a couple of hours, which is so unlike.

Speaker 1: would I do? What would I do with it?

Speaker 2: I think there's a few links around you could probably learn.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not real life, that was it?
Speaker 2: No, it's not, it's not. You get the guest, the
Speaker 2: guest of the gest, the guest how they say it

Speaker 3: to meet a few.
Speaker 2: Kielder to you, boy, that's awesome. It was so fun
Speaker 2: and she was filthy, really such.

Speaker 1: in a line of him getting done on his knees
Speaker 1: in front of his dancers and.
Speaker 3: The song the first song is out on his knees
Speaker 3: and he's got that thing. And so it was last
Speaker 3: night of the two last night, so he was they
Speaker 3: were ready to let go, right he and I say
Speaker 3: this in probably a space of maybe like envy or jealousy,
Speaker 3: but he's absolutely living his best back in life. He's
Speaker 3: got six dancers. They are all gorgeous. They are all
Speaker 3: different shapes and sizes and genders and ethnicities and everything,
Speaker 3: and he just spends the whole show getting ridden by
Speaker 3: each one of them individually there's one part of the
Speaker 3: show where he is lying on top of a very
Speaker 3: big long table which is a very last supper esque,
Speaker 3: and a guy just gets up over the back of
Speaker 3: him and just like really just goes to town as
Speaker 3: behind while he just leans over and sings, oh my,
Speaker 3: oh sexy or hot, also knows where the camera is
Speaker 3: and got those real like little twink puppy dog eys
Speaker 3: where he's just like looking at it.
Speaker 1: Yes, but Top famously.
Speaker 3: Absolutely never touched the book works covering Yeah but sorry.
Speaker 1: An amazing show, so good. It was like a It
Speaker 1: was a full club spectacular. It was heaps and heaps
Speaker 1: are fun in and out pretty quick. I think we'd
Speaker 1: like an hour ten now twenty maybe like giving a
Speaker 1: lot of energy, and then heim And is like a
Speaker 1: pump club. Absolutely, I'm not mad at an hour twenty
Speaker 1: concert on a Monday. That's good.
Speaker 3: And then I saw from the internet today did he
Speaker 3: went to g a y last night?
Speaker 1: Are they open on a Monday night?
Speaker 3: That must be opened for had Well, they're not.
Speaker 2: They're not the bloody Treasure and Tribes, are they.
Speaker 3: No, we're not the readings anymore.
Speaker 2: And there's a big gay in town.
Speaker 1: I get of Troy Sevans in town. And you know
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of gays that have come to
Speaker 1: Auckland for the concert. You open, g A y, don't
Speaker 1: you have?
Speaker 3: I would think so moneymaker he even and I know
Speaker 3: this is internet's talking. You can see here that he
Speaker 3: posts to Otto with the UV lights that are in
Speaker 3: g a y, Oh my god, amazing and then lulls
Speaker 3: one amazing.
Speaker 2: I did no other sort of on the UV lights. No,
Speaker 2: definitely just the white teeth and don't those kind of
Speaker 2: comestains on his.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, g A y.
Speaker 2: I know, but you could have been a little bit
Speaker 2: more subtle thing subtle a brick, that's right.
Speaker 1: I did wonder how many gays in Auckland will have
Speaker 1: done their little like location search on grinder and put
Speaker 1: it specifically at sparking yesterday.
Speaker 3: It was definitely one of those days where I missed
Speaker 3: the orange face. Yeah, I was like, oh, that would
Speaker 3: be fun.
Speaker 1: I'm quite sure what I would have done with that,
Speaker 1: but the idea of being part of the party, I
Speaker 1: definitely saw.
Speaker 3: A lot of like window shopping, a lot of like
Speaker 3: looking through the grids, and I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: no shirts, you know, but yeah, everything. Everyone was dressed
Speaker 3: up really nice. Say, it was a great show. So
Speaker 3: if you were there along last night and I got
Speaker 3: to say hello to you, curedity. You other great thing
Speaker 3: about the show they were handing out free connies at
Speaker 3: the door. Very responsible. There would have lube in the
Speaker 3: packet and some people talking on themselves to blow them
Speaker 3: up into balloons. And so when he came up on stage,
Speaker 3: it was just a sea of condoms up in the
Speaker 3: air blowing around.
Speaker 2: Good but responsible. Hopefully they've got some more to use.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they did. I'm sure they did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, of doubt, wrap it up.
Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of grids, I was on Instagram the other day,
Speaker 1: and you know, you can go deep into the like
Speaker 1: you can go deep into your algorithm.
Speaker 3: You for you page sort of thing you explore.
Speaker 1: No, I'm more talking about the back end.
Speaker 2: It taught me through this.
Speaker 1: You can see your insights like oh, and you can
Speaker 1: see your specifically your audience makeup. On Instagram.
Speaker 3: You can as normal plubs see this. Well, I've got
Speaker 3: a business account, so I don't know if you're a businessman.
Speaker 3: I'm very I'm very business heavy, very business focused, so
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe, but I'm not sure. But what I can do
Speaker 1: at least is I can see like where most of
Speaker 1: my followers come from, like countries. It breaks it down
Speaker 1: to cities. It tells you the age ranges of your audience,
Speaker 1: and it also gives you the gender split. Now I
Speaker 1: know that, like I love I love women, and I've
Speaker 1: always been drawn to women, and I surround myself with
Speaker 1: a lot of women in my life. But I was
Speaker 1: surprised that eighty five percent of my audience are women,
Speaker 1: gossy five percent. It's a bit like our list It's
Speaker 1: a bit like our listeners on out the gay.
Speaker 3: It's not there not, there's definitely still some there's home
Speaker 3: some Homesually.
Speaker 2: It's not about I'm not saying it like it's a
Speaker 2: bad thing doin the gay's a fuck all though, Right,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I follow Hi because he's you know,
Speaker 2: like so all I'll.
Speaker 3: Follow you, and then because you don't follow them, make
Speaker 3: that follow you.
Speaker 1: So I've only got fifteen percent men, and part of
Speaker 1: me is like, well, say, like that's oh totally, and
Speaker 1: also that's kind of probably the content I'm saving up
Speaker 1: is you know, maybe more targeted towards women. Maybe, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I am wondering, do you think there are things I
Speaker 1: could do to maybe just maybe, you know, change the
Speaker 1: percentage ever so slightly, so it wasn't like eighty five fifteen,
Speaker 1: Maybe it was seventy five twenty five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about where you ask the gators what do
Speaker 2: they want? But it's going to be it's going to
Speaker 2: be the same audience.
Speaker 1: But maybe if you're a man, or you have a
Speaker 1: man in your life, what a man want to see
Speaker 1: on Instagram? What should I be serving up to them?
Speaker 3: I think they need to get that shirt off when
Speaker 3: you're running, I say straight to the job strap.
Speaker 1: About close friends, sort of scenario that's definitely attracting a
Speaker 1: certain audience. Maybe would you like some Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just don't want to rely on the gates because
Speaker 1: we're a freckle bunch.
Speaker 2: You don't want to go down that far the continuum.
Speaker 3: You want to know?
Speaker 1: Could? I could? But I also don't want to alienate
Speaker 1: heteroceterral straight Yeah yeah, right, yeah, let's have to think
Speaker 1: about this, so let's work shop this, and maybe the
Speaker 1: gators do have some good suggestions that we be full
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 2: We definitely won't work shop it because we just never
Speaker 2: follow through. So anything from the Gators, can you tend
Speaker 2: to throw them all? Workshop that in twenty twenty six. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll give you a week to think about it. It though,
Speaker 2: and we could come back next week and talk. We've
Speaker 2: got a week to do that in two weeks to
Speaker 2: get bending over priest.
Speaker 3: Yes, so you usually thing that we do some sort
Speaker 3: of like sort of deep dive brandy in a Instagram handle.
Speaker 1: My Instagram handle is Meny mccleans.
Speaker 3: Yes, I did take you quite a lot in stories.
Speaker 3: I think also, as my uncle says, you got a
Speaker 3: pest with the cock you've.
Speaker 2: Got, it's I think maybe like whether you maybe get
Speaker 2: some more some more tennis, some more tennis. I'm here
Speaker 2: all day, you know, some tennis, some of your tennis stuff,
Speaker 2: some of your sports stuff. What I'm looking at, I
Speaker 2: think you're running and you know the summer at the
Speaker 2: beach speed election as well, because you might start creating,
Speaker 2: you know, bringing some of the other gays and I
Speaker 2: say more of this, I say more?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: That was That was the one and only topless photo
Speaker 1: I've ever posted on Instagram.
Speaker 3: Well, Gators, let me tell you something that photo has
Speaker 3: had two thousand two hundred and eleven likes. That's pretty good.
Speaker 2: It's not bad.
Speaker 3: It's not bad. What are you missed?
Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, that did well. Actually it did.
Speaker 3: Well more than a photo of you and Teddy swims Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was like, oh so more people like the
Speaker 1: topest photo of me than they did of me and
Speaker 1: Teddy swims.
Speaker 3: By almost three times.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, really I'm doing I'm doing a deep dive in
Speaker 3: here now.
Speaker 2: So lots of woman like you and your you should
Speaker 2: please shoot off or.
Speaker 1: Maybe that got the gaze?
Speaker 3: Yeah, potentially absolutely, Okay, able to go bad news what
Speaker 3: you and your cute husband and earlier who has done better?
Speaker 2: Ah, that's always going to do well.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's it. And there's a co lab post
Speaker 3: that's two people's audience is made true. Okay, yeah, anyway,
Speaker 3: this is this rivening conversation for those Okay.
Speaker 1: No, but this is good. This is good. Okay. So
Speaker 1: if the gays have any ideas of things that I
Speaker 1: can post content wise that might attracted the men, let
Speaker 1: me know.
Speaker 3: Perfect, So you had a quite weekind at home? Did
Speaker 3: the tree go up?
Speaker 1: Tree hasn't gone up? And that's honestly that's my bad
Speaker 1: on you and it's really just laziness on my part.
Speaker 2: My tree didn't go up either, but I because I
Speaker 2: ordered it too late, so I thought it was gonna
Speaker 2: you know, So hopefully it's on my doorstep tomorrow to
Speaker 2: put up this week.
Speaker 1: My grand plan was to put it up on Sunday
Speaker 1: because that was the first of the SCABBA and I
Speaker 1: wanted to put on like a Christmas movie. But Ryan
Speaker 1: was busy and I got busy and I ended up
Speaker 1: socializing with some friends and they got home late and
Speaker 1: we just got takeaways and went to be early because
Speaker 1: we were naked. So the tree didn't go up. And

Speaker 3: I was about quarterback seven in the morning, and I
Speaker 3: was going down the road and there was a man
Speaker 3: running out the other side of the road and he
Speaker 3: was running very fucking quack and I.
Speaker 1: Was like, what it is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was not, but I think I've showed this
Speaker 2: as well. Carl and I were driving down down one
Speaker 2: of the main roads needs first up and good recovery.
Speaker 3: It's running very very fast.
Speaker 2: They had a really good cadence and I thought, I said,
Speaker 2: he's got a good cadence, very hot.
Speaker 3: And that and that part of the road that's near
Speaker 3: goes up quite a bit, so I've got a high.
Speaker 1: It's got a high, it's got a high elevation.
Speaker 2: Elevation, it's pockets, great cadence, Thank you hot, take the
Speaker 2: shirt off.

Speaker 3: past seven, I'll see it going on on wednes Green
Speaker 3: and I'll film you.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what this bear is going down.
Speaker 2: Very god, it's gone. Just to be honest, I've had
Speaker 2: probably three I had three beers for lunch. It was
Speaker 2: my lunch. I don't tell anyone, But so this is
Speaker 2: dessert for you.
Speaker 3: It really is wrong to the night.
Speaker 1: Now we can't as much time, and we can maybe
Speaker 1: just treat this to our Christmas as our Christmas is
Speaker 1: Christmas pature, because we'll do a Christmas pre because we
Speaker 1: come back in here on Christmas Day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my favorite part of Christmas.
Speaker 1: I get up, I have a little mimosa in the morning,
Speaker 1: a little mimosa, and then come in here and obviously
Speaker 1: do the podcast with another with another mimosa, and we
Speaker 1: exchange gifts, and then we say goodbyes bodily, and then
Speaker 1: we both then we all scarper to our respective homes
Speaker 1: and we spend the rest of the day with our families,
Speaker 1: and our partners are just understanding, understanding and support. They go.
Speaker 1: I always say, should we do it this year? And
Speaker 1: they always say you must.
Speaker 2: You must, simply mass simple must the highlight of the year.
Speaker 1: You have to go into the studio on Christmas Day
Speaker 1: and record the podcast with the boy you must.
Speaker 2: I have loved this evening. Thank you boys, Welcome.
Speaker 3: Christmas. But my point, my lasting at Christmas is actuallybout
Speaker 3: Christmas traditions. Do you guys have any Christmas traditions that
Speaker 3: you have done, like right through the years we do
Speaker 3: as a family, any that you've brought into your into
Speaker 3: your new family, into your like kind of well, you're
Speaker 3: your family that you're building.
Speaker 1: Um, not just me and Ryan, because he doesn't like
Speaker 1: it's hard enough to get Christmas over the line and
Speaker 1: at all, let alone like into introducing like traditions. But
Speaker 1: with my family, we play a game on Christmas Day
Speaker 1: when we're all together, and we call it the Danish
Speaker 1: game because we had a Danish exchange once we introduced
Speaker 1: it to our family, so that's just kind of stuck beautiful.
Speaker 1: But it's not Danish specific. But we all go and
Speaker 1: by like maybe three little gifts, oh yes, wrap them,
Speaker 1: put them in the middle, and then we sit around
Speaker 1: in a circle. Mum sets a timer and you roll
Speaker 1: two dice. If you roll a six, you get to
Speaker 1: pull a present from the middle. If you roll two six,
Speaker 1: you get two sixes. You get to pull two presents
Speaker 1: from the middle. And you keep pulling presents from the
Speaker 1: middle until they're all gone. And then if you roll
Speaker 1: a six, you get to steal a present from someone else.
Speaker 1: If you roll doubles, the presence all move one way
Speaker 1: or another, So doubles odd If the odds doubles, they
Speaker 1: move to the left. Are there even doubles, they move
Speaker 1: to the right. And you just keep doing that until
Speaker 1: the timer runs out. And then once the time is
Speaker 1: run out, whatever presence you have in front of you
Speaker 1: at that time are yours to keep. It's very fun,
Speaker 1: very competitive, very silly, and it's kind of evolved over
Speaker 1: time because now one of the key things that we
Speaker 1: do is it is the it's the fake wrapping of
Speaker 1: the present. Ah. You might have a sminy little thing
Speaker 1: that you put into a massive bo because then people go,
Speaker 1: I want the big box, so they pull the big
Speaker 1: box in the middle.
Speaker 3: Clarification, While the game is going on, there's no opening
Speaker 3: of the present. We end up with a stack of presents.
Speaker 3: No presents, No.
Speaker 1: You don't know what they are, but every time people
Speaker 1: will I in for whatever reason on a few maybe
Speaker 1: a couple of specific presents without knowing what they are,
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, I want that even though they don't
Speaker 1: know what's in it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, love it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the classic was the one year someone got an
Speaker 1: empty box of favorites and then and then filled it
Speaker 1: with something stupid. I can't even remember what, but because
Speaker 1: the box is very distinctive shape, everyone wants when I
Speaker 1: want the chocolate, so I want the box of favorites.
Speaker 1: But of course then they unwrapped it in and it
Speaker 1: wasn't there. They're very good to watch it on but
Speaker 1: that was our that's our family tradition. And we're all
Speaker 1: together this summer for Christmas, so we're definitely going to
Speaker 1: play that game.
Speaker 3: What about you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do something similar with Karl's family to the
Speaker 2: Danish game, you know, swap dice and then ye swap
Speaker 2: steal whatever, so something like that. Yeah, but you're not. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Carl and I don't do anything specific. We don't flip
Speaker 2: fuck or anything like that. But in the morning we'll
Speaker 2: just get on and get a Yeah, get on with it. Well,
Speaker 2: because you're busy, you're going to come in here to
Speaker 2: do the podcast. So I've got to do you know
Speaker 2: who I am.
Speaker 3: I would have thought you would have gone recording.
Speaker 2: I've got to have him most of any with you,
Speaker 2: no coitus.
Speaker 3: And on Christmas morning, what would bloody Jesus think? Yes,
Speaker 3: that happens on Easter.
Speaker 1: Absolutely when you get nailed.
Speaker 3: Chris um Well, I'm hoping that some sort of fortication
Speaker 3: on Christmas Day. I don't know, either get it done
Speaker 3: early or be prepared to do special.
Speaker 1: So in our family, our traditions are actually food related.
Speaker 1: So we have like iconic foods that have come across
Speaker 1: the year.
Speaker 3: And this is not meant to be as sad as
Speaker 3: it sounds, but my dear grand passed away at the
Speaker 3: beginning of this year. She was like ninety four excellent innings,
Speaker 3: like applued it on the way out. Good, you did
Speaker 3: very well. Sad, But at the same time, last man
Speaker 3: standing off, you go, good on you. And she would
Speaker 3: make this rice salad for years de lat'sous rice sealad.
Speaker 3: We're talking like mid nineties. We've got brown rice, We've
Speaker 3: got some sultanas, We've got like some orange and lemon.
Speaker 3: So good, and so we decided to bring it back
Speaker 3: this year. This year we are having the rice sellers
Speaker 3: who's in charge of making the rice sellar though, because
Speaker 3: I was going to say that's a big responsibility, well
Speaker 3: decided to move Amber early in the proceedings this year.
Speaker 3: Because what happens is that Mum, she someone just like, oh,
Speaker 3: make a dessert, and then she gets a bit too
Speaker 3: excited by the day and then she is someone who
Speaker 3: famously does not like cooking at the best of times.
Speaker 3: She would then get to the end of the day
Speaker 3: and she would have had a couple of glasses of
Speaker 3: white wine because obviously it's Christmas, and then she'll slop.
Speaker 2: Some shit around and then sort of bring out mentioned
Speaker 2: the record. A bloody Christmas podcast special should be bring
Speaker 2: her in this year.
Speaker 3: But the other tradition that we were talking about in
Speaker 3: the weekend because it was a little niece and you
Speaker 3: nibbling on the way, was the idea of elf on
Speaker 3: the shell. Do you think you're doing it with your kids? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I I do. I love it. I love watching the
Speaker 2: kind of real you know, the blokey ones that are
Speaker 2: just a little bit probably too far. Yeah, it's almost
Speaker 2: like Obama on a lama, And I love it.
Speaker 1: I would. I love the idea of it, and I
Speaker 1: think I would come in guns blazing. But what I
Speaker 1: do hear from a lot of people who have done
Speaker 1: it is that that that that is the whole thing.
Speaker 1: You come in and you're like, this is going to
Speaker 1: be great, and the first few are so good and
Speaker 1: so well thought out, and by the twenty second, twenty
Speaker 1: third you're literally just like shlling them in the fridge and.
Speaker 3: Oh look, oh look, he's literally on the shelf. Just
Speaker 3: when they sound the box.
Speaker 1: Someone said, someone said, I caught up with We had
Speaker 1: dinner with some winners of a competition on Friday night
Speaker 1: out for our radio show, and they were like all mums,
Speaker 1: and they said. One of them one night was like,
Speaker 1: it's ten o'clock. I haven't done anything with Elf on
Speaker 1: the Shelf. So wrote a note saying Olf on the
Speaker 1: Shelf is invisible today and she just just know UF
Speaker 1: in the Shelf.
Speaker 3: How good is that? Yeah?
Speaker 2: That is fucking brilliant.
Speaker 3: I have seen some great ones, so I feel like,
Speaker 3: even so they talked about it, I've gotten real Elf
Speaker 3: in the shelf. TikTok. Some of my highlights include putting
Speaker 3: some critical cut chips and some like normal chips and
Speaker 3: then putting next to the iron and being like, I've
Speaker 3: ironed these wrinkles out. It's brilliant, like little chocolate raisins
Speaker 3: and making them out like his stumpoos.
Speaker 1: So were you considering doing it just the two of you?
Speaker 3: Oh? No, no, no. I think if I was doing
Speaker 3: alf for the shelf, he'd have to start ten days out. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but help the rise in the week before it's late.
Speaker 1: It really does sound like the kind of thing that
Speaker 1: Matt would do.
Speaker 3: I think he'd be quite into it. He would do
Speaker 3: it without any children around the souf. He would be
Speaker 3: quite yeah that he has to wait for a baby
Speaker 3: for that.
Speaker 1: Hey, boys, we got through an entire podcast with like
Speaker 1: two things in the dark. Pretty this is the beauty
Speaker 1: of the three of us just hanging out. We just
Speaker 1: should the ship and here we are.
Speaker 3: And if you'd like to go back through some of
Speaker 3: the highlights of the podcast, Brad saying come on the
Speaker 3: face quite a few times. It was on my favorite
Speaker 3: forehead flip fucking before Christmas.

Speaker 1: We never would, never would.
Speaker 2: I'm foosd on Christmas. Work comes first.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's ever a chance to to show you versatility.
Speaker 3: It's Christmas is an ass.
Speaker 1: What I will say though, is if you did manage
Speaker 1: to get a flip fuck him, at least that gives
Speaker 1: you something to put in the dark.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I don't think I would. Oh, probably dog that
Speaker 2: we've done it, Like, would I do that?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. No, I wouldn't. Yeah,
Speaker 3: fear enough, you're true. Also you're apprud all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: Ever, Season's Day Christmas.
