Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hi Heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcast playlist, and listen
live on the free iHeart app. It's Thursday, so it
is ask gun cut Day, where you guys writing or
you call up with the biggest problems that you've got
and we're going to do our best to solve.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
I love helping the good people of this country.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, not all here is we're capes, but Matt does.
But today we've got Kelly on the line that's having
a bit of a family issue.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Hey Kelly, Hi, guys, how are you going? Can I
say Merry Christmas yet?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Care?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Why not? We're in the festive spirit and so were
you apparently Kelly, but you have an issue? What's going on?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
So this year is the very first year that my
boyfriend and I are going to be together on Christmas Day.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Congratulations.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah, so we're really excited. I'm a big Christmas nerd,
so looking forward to it. But the only thing is
is that both of our families really really want us
at via Christmas Christmas Day, and we just can't decide
who to go with.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Basically, I'm just after your advice.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
That's a tricky one.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
What have you done in the past It's a common problem,
I would say because everyone experiences. Right, two people come together,
they have two families that I'm assuming don't always live together.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
I mean, for me, it's tricky.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
My husband lives on the other side of the world,
so we always just have to pick one country.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
I think it.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Depends for you, Kelly. What's the location of both families.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
So we're based in Melbourne. His family are up in
Ballina and New South Wales to kind of Nearbyron Bay.
And then I'm a KeyWe and I'm from Hamilton, so trestic.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Mton's great, is it you supercars?

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, that's true, but they do say Hamilton's like puberty.
You all have to go through it at some point.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Look, you're hard because you're you're in another country.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
I actually, I think this is easy.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
You're gonna have to just say that you're going to
take it turns year by year and alternate and maybe
you have to flip a coin for the first year,
like who starts, or maybe it comes down to finance.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
I don't know. Has he been to Hamilton before, your partner, so.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yes he has. And we last saw my parents. They
came over here in September, so we have actually seen
them quite recently, whereas his parents we actually went up
and saw them, but we still haven't seen them since May.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
So maybe it's time to start with his family and
then do yours next year. Are you thinking this is
a long term relationship?

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Oh yeah, okay, Well look my decision is based on
the fact that I've been to Hamilton before, and I mean, Kelly,
no disrespect at all. It was just a little how
do I say shit in the most polite way possible.
So I think if you're comparing the two, I think

(03:04):
you've got to go balance. It's Byron Bay.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
You don't pick this kind of stuff based on the town.
It's family and it's love and it's the attention to
those that you care about.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
I just think sometimes you've got to be selfish and
that's okay. Around Christmas time, you want to do what's
going to make you and your partner happy, and I
just think Byron Bay, baby, imagine that being on the beach,
I mean, one of the best beaches in the world.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Do you care about missing out on your family?

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Like?

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Is it okay? Are you happy to go to Byron.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Oh my gosh, yeah, there's your answer.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
There We go.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
I mean, look, I'll be sad to obviously let my
mum down, but I think it is looks I guess
that's the only way to do it right, Like they
both want us both Christmas mums. But it's gonna have
to fall. Maybe flip the coin and.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Let's not forget that next year it's going to flip.
It has to flip. You can't have a magical festival
time in Hamilton? Can I say? I just want to
if anyone is from New Zealand and in particular Hamilton,
I want to say sorry for my comments on this segment.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
You've been really harsh on Hamilton.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
I have have fair, but I apologize.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
At least it has a year to redeem itself. Now
it'll be a lot better.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Thanks for calling Kelly, have a good crissy.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Hey Matt, she took that well, were you pretty abuse you? Yeah? Yeah,
it's honestly, when I went to Hamilton, I want to
get some money out from the ATM, and people were like,
don't do that. Well it's not like Venezuela. Well it's worse.
