Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking and PM Jacinda Ardern exchange Christmas Gifts for 2019.
You could call it Mike Hosking's telling off T-shirt.
But it's also now his Christmas T-shirt, courtesy of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
The broadcaster today proudly wore his Christmas gift from Ardern, a white T-shirt with a print of the pair mid-debate during an interview in October.
"Iheart Tuesdays" is printed below the image, in reference to the day of the Prime Minister's regular interview slot on Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking Breakfast.
"Mike, do you know how ridiculous you sound right now," Ardern had said to Hosking in the moment now immortalised on cotton and part of his wardrobe of choice for Christmas Day barbecue duties.

The interview moved on, and the news cycle with it.
But Ardern showed she hadn't forgotten when she presented the T-shirt to Hosking this month.
In a video of the moment, the pair reminisced on Hosking's gift to Ardern - also a T-shirt - the previous year, and his disappointment that he'd never seen her wear it.
"I thought we could improve on [the T-shirt gift] somewhat", Ardern said before presenting her gift.
"Oh no, have you got a special T-shirt for me?" Hosking replied, before both agreed they "both heart Tuesdays".
