Learn English – Does “What Have You Say” Mean the same as “What Have You”

meaningword-choice

I have been listening to the commentaries to "Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers". I've just heard Grant Major say,

The horses were acquired, other than our own stable of horses, en
masse, from the farms that were around the place, pony clubs and what
have you say
.

This appears to be used in the same way that I might use "and what have you".

Is this the same meaning?

I believe Mr. Major is from New Zealand, as this was a New Zealand production.

It seems this was most likely a verbal stumble rather than an actual Kiwi-specific idiom. The only reference I can find to "what have you say" is as an interrogative meaning "What have you to say [in regards to a topic]?" which obviously wouldn't apply here. Given the context (that is, a partial list of items) it seems reasonable to conclude that (if indeed the variant was intentional at all) this particular phrase does have an identical meaning.
