Sarah:They've probably already watched it once.
Mark:They probably have.
Sarah:But now they'll have to watch it again.
Mark:But now they'll have to watch it again. We got another comment on the socials this week of, I read your questions and I don't remember any of that in the episode.
Sarah:I just watched it. Did we watch the same episode?
Mark:To my response was, I sometimes ask the same thing.
Sarah:You didn't watch it like a maniac but now you can.
Mark:Oh my gosh. Today I listened to part of an episode from our show from four years ago when we just got Olive, and you're like, hopefully, she'll grow out of being a bitey goblin. And I'm like, nope.
Sarah:Nope. She didn't. She's three and a half and she's still a bite bite goblin. Yep. Stinky too.
Mark:Oh, she's very stinky.
Sarah:Man. If anybody's
Sarah:got any tips on dog breath, let us know. Both ends of her smell the same.
Mark:Yes.
Sarah:That's that's not a compliment. She doesn't have a minty butt or anything.
Sarah:That would be impressive. On that note, are you ready?
Mark:Spong.
Sarah:I've got five things to look for. Excellent. Episode, five ways to watch like a maniac.
Mark:Happy New Year.
Sarah:It is a New Year episode. There's fireworks and everything.
Mark:Yep.
Sarah:Okay. Number one, what is Mike's Wikipedia? Yes. DSS Mike Shepherd has a Wikipedia. What is it called?
Sarah:Number two, why does the costume shop have a big renaissance section, and how is that not helpful?
Mark:And they play around with
Sarah:this. They do. They do. So why does the costume shop have a big renaissance section? Or renaissance?
Sarah:And why is that not helpful?
Mark:Costume related, but not a spoiler. This episode is written by Tanya. The costume lady who has given us information.
Sarah:She would definitely know the answer to
Mark:this question. She knows the answer for sure.
Sarah:Yes. Number three, what animal is Hattie wearing? There's a character named Hattie. What animal is she wearing? Number four, what Russian city's name is wrong?
Mark:Absolutely. So wrong. Like, decades wrong.
Sarah:Need a little Soviet history to understand. And number five, what did Steven steal, and what's his sport? So what's Mike's Wikipedia? Why does the costume shop have a big renaissance section, and how is that not helpful? What animal is Hattie wearing?
Sarah:What Russian city's name is wrong? And what did Steven steal, and what's his sport?
Mark:It it's a deep cut, the Steve part.
Sarah:If you're a Brokenwood fan, you'll know the answer.
Mark:Absolutely.
