This is a podcast from Rover.
If you've ever sent a risky text and then throw on your phone across the room,
you'll fit right in here.
This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Warning, this show contains fake tan, real regrets, and one Australian hostage situation.
It's the it's breakfast.
Clip Megan Dan with Ash London.
Good morning.
Friday Eve.
I wanted to say the same as you and go, Kiaa, good morning.
But you didn't for once, your whole life didn't say ki-a-ka-a.
Well, Clint hates it when people talk before him, especially a woman.
He will not like that.
Good, keep you on your toes, changing it up.
Yeah.
I respect it.
Happy Thursday!
Yay!
We've got some smutty stories for you at 7 o'clock this morning.
Get your little hot under the collar on your way into work.
Now, Ash, I've said Clinton and I've written our smutty story together again.
I've seen you it.
Oh, you've got to prepare yourself.
It is one of the most raunchy stories ever written.
for written, you've heard the audio
books that I've been reading lately, my darling.
Yeah. It involves a woman
who double
books herself in the penthouse suite.
Honeymoon. Honeymoon sweet.
Okay. And you know
with your books that you do read?
Sometimes don't you find the buildup
goes on for far too long?
You're far too long and then
you're just like, yeah, it's close off already.
Well, not a problem you're going to have
without story. That's generally the case
with your, like, the door opens
and they trip over inside each other also.
Oh, have you read it already?
Oh, yes.
I've actually given up on my
Smutty audio book that I was listening to this week.
Too smutty? No, just no plot.
Oh, yeah.
I do need some plot, you know,
and the man's a bit controlling too,
which a lot of girls get off on in these books,
but they're like, oh, it's fiction for me, I'm like, no.
No one likes a chauvinist.
No. Yeah. Oh, well.
This guy's very much like, my flight of
So look forward to that after 7 o'clock this morning.
That'll be just after we give you the chance to win $10,000 with easy money.
And Ash keeps making it easier and easier.
Yeah, I'm going to do it again today because I want to give this away,
mainly because I can't handle the stress of reading these questions out any longer.
Yeah, fair enough.
It's a lot of pressure.
Yeah, so best of luck.
We'll get into the 6am throwback coming up right after this one from Alex Warren,
who if you missed was on the show yesterday, you can grab the podcast.
Check out our catch-up when we did a bit of interview tag with him.
It's throwback Thursday today as well.
A whole day of throwbacks.
Yeah, true.
We'll pick a few options.
Can you pass me a kombucha, please?
Of course.
You're going to have the whole box.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
I just had to smell Ash's hand because she thought it smelled funny.
It does smell funny, and I don't know why it smells like that.
I thought it just smelt like a hand, to be honest.
No, it's very specific smells.
I think it might be my rings.
Oh, you've got to chuck them in.
Mum, you still want your kids.
She got all of her rings and then she'd boil like a pot of her.
water, and I don't know what else she'd put in, and then she'd throw all of her jewelry
and mix it up.
You're like vinegar, probably, or something.
Yeah, and then they'd come out all sparkly.
Yeah, my mother-in-law's coming tomorrow from South Australia, and she always brings me.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
Never get your mother-in-law to smell your ring.
Cleaner jewellery, she meant.
It's not naughty, 640 yet.
Don't get her to clean your ring.
Sometimes she uses a toothbrush to really get in that.
Give it a good scrub.
I think you need some chemicals.
Anyway, come on.
Come on.
Every month or so, I clean my wife's ring.
She's got a lovely one that I got her for her engagement.
I've got a special thing that I twist around.
You put it in a little bottle and twist it around and it cleans it.
That's like what my mother-in-law brings.
But she's at the same one for like 30 years.
Oh, that needs to replace it.
I've got a special rag.
It's like a ring cleaning rack.
Yeah, like a ring cleaner.
It's like a blue.
And you only use it on rings.
You only use it on rings.
Right.
Yeah.
It's cool because once you've used it on a ring,
you don't want to be using other things.
You just keep it for rings only.
You ring rag.
Yeah.
There we go.
It was like a blue rag and you're only supposed to use it on jewelry.
It polishes and write up.
Is it still blue?
Uh, is.
Do you know about...
It obviously tarnishes.
Okay.
In areas.
About a month ago, I was on the phone to my brother and I was distracted.
And I have a toothbrush that I use in my teeth.
And then I have a toothbrush that I used to just clean the bathroom,
just like bits and pieces.
Oh, you don't want to get that mixed up.
And I'm blaming Adrian for this because I would never have brought the cleaning toothbrush out of the drawer.
But I'm on the phone to my brother, a toothbrush, toothpaste on.
I put it in my mouth and it just felt, the bristles felt different.
And I was like, this is weird.
And I pulled it out.
I was like, ah, got to go.
Hung up.
And I was like, spitting it out.
I was like listerine.
Then I put like alcohol in my mouth.
I got like tequila.
I was like swishing that around.
Wow.
Because you're a germaphobe.
So that would be horrific.
They should be other ends.
the house.
Completely right.
The other ends of the house.
There was that video I've seen you
because you are a little bit of a germaphobe
which is fine.
I think it's fine to be okay
that you don't want germs in your mouth.
And there was that guy in that video I sent you
where he just goes around
and he just wipes public surfaces
like an ATM machine and buttons
and then licks his finger
and then he was wiping the bin
and then he wiped the inside of a public bin
and put his finger in his mouth.
I was like what are you doing?
And it was in New York.
Is he trying to get a day out?
Like there must be something
happening this week at work and he's like I need to be sick for it.
Yeah, his mother-in-law is coming around
who's got a thing at his in-law's house
that wants to get out of.
But his immune system is probably amazing
from doing all that.
I'm such a germaphobe that my immune system is zero.
Ash was like, I wouldn't do that for $100,000.
Maybe you do need to go look some bins
to get your immune system up.
The anxiety that I would have for weeks after that,
it was not worth it.
Half a million dollars, you wouldn't go put your finger on the inside of a bin
and suck it.
Put the finger on is different to drag it.
No, no.
I mean, rub your finger on the inside of a public bin
and then put it in your mouth.
What a question to ask, Clint.
I don't think I could.
No.
Wow.
And I need a half a million dollars just to let your people know.
Dan is the type of person that we think if he won lotto
would be getting his friends to do stuff.
If I became a very, very rich millionaire, that's all the show would be.
I'd be go, Ash, go out and lick one of my car tires, a hundred thousand dollars.
Next, Ash is going to try and make a hundred grand,
and everyone's desperate to come in and do it, but just a car.
There was an old edge segment called the Dice of Deer.
And the deer once was to go outside
And outside the front door of the edge
Was an intersection with a pole
With one of those buttons that goes
Do do do do do do do and the deer was
Whoever Lost had to lick that button
It was vaulting
And that's how the previous producer before Carl passed away
He's dead now
I think that's because we strapped him to the front of a car
And put him through a car wash
And that finished it was to clean him from licking the pole
So yeah
RIP Chang
He was radio man
No he didn't die
I think he works at the airport now
where they don't get them to do wacky things.
I get naked and then driving through car washes.
Clint, Megan, Dad.
First call of the day.
First call on the day.
Who's it today, Daddy Boy?
In Bacago we're going to this morning
and the lovely, the incomparable,
the talented Kyle.
Good morning.
Hey, Carl.
Good morning, everybody.
How are you?
Now, it says you've been listening to The Edge
for two decades.
That is a long time.
That's 20 years.
It is.
Yeah.
Would you say it's gotten better or worse over time, Kyle?
Oh, risky question.
It's gotten better.
Come on.
Thanks, Carl.
Come on, brother.
Carl, I see here you've just purchased a building in Main Street and you want to open a second-hand store.
How cool is that?
It is, yeah.
It's something that I've been into most of my life.
My grandmother brought me up and she had a second-hand shot when I was a child.
Now, we've spent a bit of time in Bacago.
And I know there's a very big second-hand store there.
Clint and I went there and Meg.
Last time we're there.
the main street opposite the very fancy hotel.
I can't remember what it's called.
But it was a packed...
Someone Emporium, had a guy's name.
Yeah, and it's packed to the rafters with stuff.
He will not sell anything cheaper than what it's worked, Mr. Hubber.
Oh, Mr. Hubbard.
Hubbard's Emporium.
I tell you what, there is some trinkets in there,
but I got that vibe when I was there, Kyle,
that he didn't want to let go of some stuff.
Oh, yeah, it was packed.
Yeah.
No.
It's funny, he's actually been leaving his shop open.
and people have been going in there
but because it's antiques and stuff
that people that would be stealing it
don't really know what it's worth
nobody's pinching anything which is great
what do you mean open like hasn't been locking it
overnight the door's been wide open
in the middle of the night and there's nobody there
and then all of a sudden the door's closed
and there's like a chair sitting up against it
unless he's hoping someone will ransack the place
and then he can get insurance money
classic Mr Hubber
Is there good money to be made in a second-hand store, Kyle?
Because I guess everyone's going and wanting a bargain,
and you would think because of that fact,
there wouldn't be a huge profit margin in it for you?
Well, because I help other second-hand shops
by taking their over-donated items,
I actually source all my stock for free.
Right.
And he knows, he's in his blood.
He's been doing it for years.
Yeah, that's a good business model.
He knows what'll sell.
Wow.
I love that.
We've got so much crap going into landfill, Kyle.
We cannot, as a country and a world, we cannot afford to keep consuming the way we are consuming.
So we're cheering you on, mate.
Love it.
Thank you very much.
And that's one thing that I actually hold myself to.
If I don't have a use for it, I'll find a use for it.
I'll change it into something else.
Good on you, Kyle.
We should give you Dan.
We're still trying to work out.
If you can sell me, Kyle, you're the best second ad store in the game.
Clint Megan Dan.
Lesh, go.
Dan with Ash London.
Scandal.
So Helen Mirren, who is 80 years old and part of her.
For she?
She's 80 years old.
She looks good for her age.
I know.
She's part of this breed of like aging Hollywood starlets who are pushing 80 and still so hot.
Like Diane Keaton, obviously gorgeous.
Jennifer Lopez.
Well, she's nearly 60 and my God, Demi Moore, 60s.
Selma Hayek, 60s.
Anyway, I'm getting distracted.
Oh, yes, I know who she is now.
She's in 1923.
Like the pre-called Yellowstone.
and she's the wife.
And she played Queen Elizabeth in the one about Tony Blair.
She's a great actress.
Oscar winner.
What did she win the Oscar for, I wonder?
I think it was the Queen.
Yeah.
So she's hit the press circuit for upcoming adaptation of the Thursday Murder Club
alongside Pierce Brosnan, who of course was one of my favourite bonds.
And on the red carpet, a reporter asked her a very interesting question.
Is there time for a female bond?
No.
No.
It wouldn't work.
Do something else.
You know, there have been some amazing women
who've worked in the Secret Services
with incredible courage.
But James Bond...
James Bond's a bloke.
You just can't avoid it, really.
And I'm a fully-fledged feminist, incidentally.
I'm not like, you know...
And I do think there's room for a great movie
about a great female agent.
but James Bond is James Bond
That's a great answer
It's kind of like getting a man to play Wonder Woman
Just because we're trying to see that we can be as woke as possible
It's like no need for it
But also I feel like putting a woman in that role
Is a disservice to female actresses
Why not write a completely new character
Instead of giving them a man's role
Or do it spin off about Money Penny
Or like the one the Judy Dinch plays
The Boss lady of Ami 5
What if you did like Mr and Mrs. Bond?
Like when you dated Mr. and Mrs. Smith, you know, and they were like...
Maybe like Bond meets his match, another female spy.
Yeah, and then it's kind of like, you know, she's working for someone else.
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
And I hate using the word woke because I think it's just like a blanket statement
that we use for anything that we're like, oh, that's woke.
Because a lot of things do need to be changed in this society.
And we do need to find better ways to treat certain minorities.
But when it comes to this, it is just going too far.
And I think what it does is it undermines the change that people are trying to make in areas of film and women's pay equality, sorry.
And then you're like, those are like proper issues.
And then when we start going so far the other way with a female bond, then everyone just wants to stop all sorts of change.
And they want to just stop it all.
And also, can you imagine that actress, like the hate and vitriol she would get.
Suicide, career suicide.
No decent actress will take the job.
You're not going to get like Florence Pugh or someone.
Are you going to get some degrade net for?
person, like, yeah, I'll take a risk on that.
Also, the whole point of Bond is he is a
womanizer, he's a chauvinist, he's a bit
of a player, that just wouldn't work,
you know? It's steeped in history.
When you watch some of the early ones, is it Roger Moore,
when you watch some of those early ones,
they do not hold up.
You're like, oh God, he's...
Problematic. It's so bad, but God,
they have good films. But for
me, Daniel Craig, best
Bond. Yeah. Idriselba was being
rumoured to be... Oh, put Idris in.
The new Bond, right?
I thought so.
Because you've got to look good in a suit.
There was also rumours about Harry Stiles.
I was like, nah.
Harry Stiles, really?
I'd prefer a woman.
Do you know what?
I prefer a woman than Harry Stiles.
And I love Harry, but that's silly.
All right, you don't want to be Dan's neighbour
because if you make any sort of strange or unique noise,
he will record you and play it on the radio
to try and find out what you were up to.
But I would love to know what you think he was doing last night
at about 11 p.m. I've got the audio.
Is it the same guy?
Same guy.
Oh, God.
Can we get the audio that he was making a couple of weeks ago as well?
Because it was a completely different noise.
So we think he may be on the row up last time, but we still don't know.
Okay.
He's thrown out the rower ash.
All right.
Let's put our detective hats on, all the guys, and the women, they can put on there.
What sort of hats?
What do you say, Claire?
Women can have detective hats as well.
Well, you just said they couldn't be Bond.
They can be detectives.
Oh, okay, good.
I'm just making sure we clear.
Oh, God.
He doesn't understand why.
Bond is not a detective.
I don't know.
I haven't watched the last six.
You're mixing up with Sherlock Holmes.
Yeah, whatever.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Oh, God, help the person that ends up living next door to Daniel.
I am a great neighbour.
Now, in all fairness, I am a fantastic neighbour.
What's an example of what makes you a great neighbour?
Last night, I recorded one of my neighbours.
Okay, like, I don't, I'm not, here's the thing.
I'm not a neighbour that would do anything bad.
No.
But if you stuff with me or my family, I'll come at you with all guns blazing.
Like, if they say Georgie, that kid's so on.
ugly. All you have to do is have a tricky conversation with Dan and all of a sudden
he's like dump in his long clippings on your backyard. He's not mowing your berm anymore.
Like the old bat next to me. This is a separate, separate neighbour again, but she told my cat
Kimmy or came over to my wife the other day and told my cat Kimmy to stop swelling her words
in her garden. How do we stop that?
Yeah, no. How do you've got old, like angry old people on your story?
You know, you can't stop it, but you can go in and look in her garden and go, oh my cat's done that
again I'll sort that out for her because it's my cat
and my responsibility. No, because then she'll trespass me.
So anyway. So Dan just mows the berm
and then stops two metres shy and
doesn't finish hers, which would take 12
seconds. Yeah, no, no, that's the pettiness
that I'm looking for. My neighbours and I
have been to court over boundary
issues. We do not, and haven't spoken
for two years, I will always still do the boom.
What? I wouldn't. I had
a neighbour who in COVID
lockdowns, you're only allowed to
go outside to walk without a
mask if you're exercising or pregnant.
And I was eight and a half months pregnant and going for a war without a mask on.
So I had both of the exemptions.
And this old guy came out on his balcony and started harassing me.
Oh, and mask on.
And I was, don't, don't mess with me the best of times.
Don't mess with a pregnant lady.
Yeah.
And I turned around and went ham.
And then my dog, in that beautiful moment, as I'm going ham at him.
Bit a weed on his, no.
Brilliant.
Just a wee on his little right.
Yeah, you don't want to bite.
Yeah.
No, I got a dog.
She's doing the dog put down.
Speaking of court cases.
Anyway, so my neighbor behind me, a few weeks ago,
I recorded this noise coming from his house.
He's been doing this for like 10 minutes.
Now keep in mind, there's a lot of people
that would think that he was doing the obvious,
but his wife went and put the bins out as it was happening.
Yeah, but, I mean, who's just that they haven't...
They're not in a thruple.
I don't think there is.
was a third person. I've only seen the two of them.
No, you could have just had a one player game. She had no idea.
She's, or she's...
The pace was off, but anyway.
Yes. And then, again, last night at about 11pm,
I was woken up to a completely different noise coming from their house behind us.
Okay.
Same guy, different noise.
No, that's you.
It's not me.
Promise.
Swear on George's life.
Sweer on my life.
So my window of my bedroom
opens out onto the back sort of
area of their house
that was coming from their back deck.
I can't see it
because there's a fence.
Oh my God.
It sounds like an owl.
And like he's high-fiving it or something.
It sounds like he's like slapping himself.
It sounded to me like clapping.
What's the train noise though?
And then there's a dingin.
Chug.
I reckon he's doing sick because he's a,
Older Asian gentleman, isn't he?
He is.
I reckon he's engaging in some sort of woo,
something that I would love, like a Tai Chi or some sort of a slapping.
At 11pm at night?
Why not?
Get the flow, you know, the...
What's the train?
What's the train part?
Chug.
Chug.
It's consistent.
Unless he's got like the dryer on.
He's got the dryer on while doing Tai Chi.
Oh gosh.
Can you go over and ask, Daniel?
Hannah and I were like standing right next to the window.
like looking over. I was like trying to see over the fence.
Oh my God, you guys are like nosy neighbors
and you're still in your 30s. Jesus.
This is how the 80-year-old neighbors,
this is how you start out.
Have you got a WhatsApp group for your street or anything?
Yeah, but I don't think he's on it, this guy.
Yeah, but has anyone else who ever mentioned the sound?
No, no one's ever mentioned it.
Have you got a WhatsApp group for your street?
No, thank God.
I don't need another group chat.
It's the last thing I need in my life.
Do you know the last place I lived in
when Swanson's in my old place?
I was the admin for that page.
Of course you were bad.
No one in this studio is surprised
Just so you know
I used to approve all the posts
And I'd deny the like bitchy ones
Did you love, did you get off on the power?
Oh I love every second on that
Clint Mega Dan
Leshko
Comedian, podcaster and working alongside
Patty Gower's got issues
Karen O'Leary
Good morning, Kilda
Great that you've come in and it's very actually
advantageous because we've been talking
this week about the price of stuff
and how expensive
everything is
and you are
coincidentally doing a story
on Paddy Gower has issues this week
Yes that's right
Well obviously you know
We've heard the cost of living crisis
thrown around all the time
You know people
The government are always talking about it
But they're never doing anything about it
So I was like come on Karen
What can you actually do
That's going to make a difference
For everyday New Zealanders
So I was going to dismantle capitalism
Big task
It was a little bit too big
Like for me
And just like within the 10 minutes
I have on the show
So I went to dismantling the duopoly
the supermarket geoply, you know, they're just like
bringing it twice as what do they want. Again,
a little bit tricky. I talked to Nicola Willis at Parliament
and she was like, you can't do that, Karen.
So I was like, far out. What am I going to do?
Okay, I just need to bring the price of butter down.
That's what everyone talks about. You know, the price of butter is like
a symbol for what's going wrong
with their economy. So I just was like,
well, I'm not going to go to the supermarkets because those guys are making
heaps of money. So I went to beautiful
New Zealand own night and day shops. You know the ones?
The committee stores. Yeah. The way was sponsored by a night
and day for a long time back in the day. It's so great.
And so I went down to Matt Lane and I said,
Look, Matt, I've got to this problem.
We've got to make butter cheaper for New Zealanders.
What can you do for me?
And he very kindly said, look, tell you what, Karen,
I'll give you 20,000 blocks of butter,
and I'll sell them at $6.50 until they're sold out.
It's start this morning at 8 o'clock.
If you want butter for $6.50, get to your night and day.
Wow.
That's a real life solution.
I don't even know how I've got it.
But yeah, it was good.
Has it given you a taste of power now?
You're like, well, what's the next thing I can solve for Altero?
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, but it's not really.
It's a positive power.
I'm wanting to affect positive change.
I mean, could I say that this is what happened when women have a taste of power,
we use it for good, when men have a tasted power they use it for evil?
You could definitely say that, and I'd be inclined to agree with you.
Yeah, babes.
I'd agree too.
Yeah, good.
I'm glad you do agree.
Did you find anything out about why this is actually happening?
Because it is very easy for us to blame supermarkets.
But we had an economist on this week who was talking about the fact that for the farmers,
they're getting lots of money to be selling stuff overseas.
But I don't know, part of me thinks that it's easy to blame the farmers
that we should blame the government instead.
Oh, well, especially this current government,
I would be happy to blame them for everything that's going wrong in the world.
You break your arm.
Yeah, well, I should blame my mum for that.
But anyway, I should just be it.
No, I think it is a very complex situation.
And you'd like you say, the supermarkets are making it,
they made more profit than any other supermarket in the whole world.
So they're making too much money.
Sure sure.
And Fontera, they're paying their CEO $6 million a year.
That seems like a lot of money just to be the boss or something.
And farmers, yes, they have a couple of tough years
when the government then gives them money
and then they have years where they make millions of dollars.
So I shouldn't be bad.
I'm not bagging anyone except for Fontera in the supermarkets
and farmers and the government.
Yeah, no, I'll definitely back that $6 million CEO of person.
It's probably got some huge-ass sell bonus
that comes on top of that when we just want butter
that costs less than $10 for a block,
which isn't too much to ask, I don't think.
Well, this is why I've got it for you guys, $6.50.
I mean, you can only get one block each.
Still, you know.
Well, this is fantastic.
I mean, you were doing God's work.
The fact that you've got butter.
Yes, I'd be doing it.
Yeah.
You're always so much in common I've learned since you walked in these doors, babe.
I don't believe in them either.
I don't want to send God's work.
I'm doing the people's work.
That's what I want to be doing.
I'm going to advocate for people, and if anyone out there's got an issue, they want me to solve.
Look, I'll give it a damn good try.
Great.
Is God real?
That's what we're going to do next week.
I can solve that.
Karen and Larry, thank you so much.
No, thank you guys.
Coming up actually 8 o'clock tomorrow.
And we do just want to say, obviously, we're having a bit.
bit of fun there. Like whatever you believe is so
wonderful and we know so many wonderful people
who believe in God and love God are great
people so please take that in love
which is how we meant it. Amen. Yeah I'm not
offended. 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
I forget we've got to be able to have a laugh. Don't
take life so seriously all the time. And I believe
I think between you and me if we counted up the
hours that's spent in church it'll be more
than most people spend in bed.
All right 8 o'clock tomorrow Christopher
Lachin is going to have I say the final
say but I'd like to say he might put a bow on
and the situation at the moment in the country.
Yeah, I want us to all sit down the three of us
and I want to write our questions
and I want to go in there, clear, focused
and ready to respectfully grill the man.
Unless I will not be happy from this interview
unless prices come down next week.
By the end of the interview.
By the end of the interview,
I want butter to be at least $5.
I would go to the supermarket and buy 50 blocks of it
and put it in the freezer.
Mintz is going to be $6.50 a kilo by next Wednesday.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Win $10,000 right now with the H-10K-E-Z money.
Let's go, thanks to BNZ, whether you're flatting, our saving to travel
or making a crem of BNZ believes there's an art starting something new.
Ash is going to give you a letter.
You're going to get 30 seconds to give us 10 answers, starting with that letter, no repeated answers.
And if you can do it, it'll be $10,000.
Richer, he's a dog handler at.
at Wellington Airport. Good morning, Liam.
Good, Liam. Good. Every time I am all the way
through customs, desperate to see my husband on the other side
and then the dog comes along. And all of a sudden I'm like, have I got drugs?
I've never taken a drug in my life, in my life. And every time the dog
comes near me, I'm like, oh God, we're going to go jail. But you are trying to smuggle
fruits into New Zealand. You're always trying to do that, don't you? Actually, Liam,
what is the correct procedure? Because I always slow down and stop and let the dog
have a good sniff, but then people say
keep walking, keep walking.
So were you just meant to walk slowly past you?
Yeah, just kind of, you know, mosey on along
and see how it goes, I guess, yeah.
I feel guilty, if I'm going too quick, it's real guilty.
I need to look innocent.
Okay, Liam, let's do this.
I, let's get you some money.
Okay, your letter today is H.
H for hope I don't get done for all those bananas.
I've smuggled in my suitcase from Australia.
Hopefully not, no.
Okay, Liam.
you're a time will start when Ash finishes asking you the first question.
I'm feeling good.
I'm feeling good for Liam.
I feel like to get comfortable.
Got my pen ready to tick things off.
Beginning with H. Liam, can I have a girl's name?
Haley.
An emotion.
Happy.
Something in the bathroom.
Hair soap.
A sandwich filling.
Ham.
An Olympic sport.
Hammer throw.
A type of cheese.
Um
Pass
Something you bear on your head
Hat
An NZ town
Hamma Springs
A dog breed
Husky
A shoe brand
Um
Oh
That was the last question
You did pass one Liam
So we would have to go back to it
But you got through eight my bro
Hush puppies
The shoes
Yeah
Haviannas
Oh, my goodness me.
That was close.
That was a bloody good showing, Liam.
Oh, God, I didn't breathe.
Good on your Liam.
I hadn't breath.
I was holding my breath the whole time
because I thought Liam was going to do it
and now I'm going to pass it out.
Did he pass on the cheese one?
Yes.
Halumi, Havati.
And what did you say for something in the bathroom?
He said, hair soap, which I think is shampoo.
I had a question mark on that one, Liam.
I was like, we might have to check that.
Oh, no. He's technically correct.
I was like, handsop.
Yeah, here's soap.
I guess that's shampoo.
We would have had to go to the adjudicator for that one,
but a fantastic effort.
Liam, thank you for keeping our borders.
Well, not really our borders safe,
but thank you for keeping our, what's it called,
the quorum, no, the, what are you called?
What's the thing you're put to the bio?
Security.
Security.
Yeah, I'm trying my hardest, Liam.
Yeah, it's all good.
He doesn't know either.
He's like, I don't know, man.
I just take the dog does most work for Monaster.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Lesh, go.
It's time to get into some smutty stories.
Oh.
Just realized that my laptop needs, it's about to die, guys.
So you pad for 10 seconds while I plug it in
because the smutty stories are all my laptop.
Well, we've been doing this for a while.
It used to be that Clint and I would go up against each other.
Yeah.
And Meg would read out each of our.
muddy story, then there'd be a winner at the end.
But now, Clint and I have teamed up, put two...
The question is, can two male brains be sexier than one female brain?
That is actually a published author of romance novels.
And that's the thing I think you need to keep in mind.
Just remember, Ash is a professional.
Clint and I are working off amateur stuff.
Yeah, but some people prefer amateurish stuff.
They know.
It's one of my highest searches.
Sometimes I take it too seriously, whereas you don't take this seriously at all.
You're just like how quickly can we?
we talk about big boobies and at one point you, you...
I think you might find that she's got quite small pooky breasts in our story this week.
Okay, well, Dan wrote the prompt, which is the first sentence.
And I tried to keep it very generic so you could go anywhere with it.
It's very open here.
So it wasn't my honeymoon, but I just, when you hear the bell,
that's when my talking sentence came.
That's when my scripting comes in.
It wasn't my honeymoon, but I decided for my birthday to treat myself to a night alone
in the Hilton Honeymoon suite.
I unpacked my bag and threw on a robe
when there was a knock at the door.
I tightened the robe around my waist
and looked through the peephole.
I opened the door slightly,
taking a peek into the hallway to see who was there.
Standing on the other side of the door was a tall man
in a perfectly tailored suit.
His crisp white shirt had been unbuttoned
and he was loosening his tie as he waited.
My eyes trailed up from his chest to his eyes, big and blue.
He brought one hand up to brush a rogue curl of his face,
raking his hands through his locks.
I was instantly struck by his scent,
woody and masculine, intoxicating.
Our eyes locked.
His were an intense, impossible blue,
the kind you feel, not just see.
For a heartbeat, we stared.
Oh, damn, I'm sorry, he said,
glancing at the room number.
I think I've got the wrong door.
He's still got clothes on, which is weird.
It's been a while.
We would have taken them off by now.
He's still fully in the suit, but carry on.
I opened the door.
a little wider, still somewhat dazed by the she
presence of him. Oh, right, I murmured,
unable to summon more than that, as his voice
reverberated through me. I'm looking for
235, he said. Oh, this is 237? I replied
my voice, softer than I expected.
You're close. When's her dress full of?
Okay, well, that's not, that's to us. I thought to be
I thought she was going to be staying in 269.
Same. Yeah. I thought you would incorporate
that, so I wanted to. A slow
smile curled on his lips and something
darkly, darkly playful flickered in his
eyes. I don't usually knock on a beautiful woman's door unless she asks me to. His voice was
velvet, low and intimate. Promise. I'm not a beautiful woman, I whispered, suddenly shy, crossing
my arms as if to shield myself. He took one deliberate step closer, eyes raking slowly over every
inch of me in that robe. The way he looked at me was almost reverent. Heat bloomed in my chest.
He reached down... How big was it?
What? His finger.
No, the blooming in the chest.
That's a feeling. It's the emotion in her chest.
It's just heat blooming.
No, not everything has to be physical, Clint.
It's not a physical thing.
I'm nearly done.
He reached out and with exquisite...
You'd be the only one.
He reached out and with an exquisite gentleness
placed the pad of his finger on my lips.
Oh.
And her robe, fellow.
No, no, no, just wait.
My breath caught.
I closed my eyes, savoring the electric spark of his touch.
Every part of me leaned forward.
instinctively, helplessly craving the weight of him, the warmth of him, the press of his body into mine.
He hadn't moved another inch, but my whole world had tilted toward him.
He brought his finger down from my lips to my chest, before gently pulling my robe off my shoulder,
exposing a tiny parcel of bare skin.
I closed my eyes, a soft moan escaping my lips as I felt his soft lips on my collarbone,
gently scraping across my bare shoulder.
I leaned back against the door, opening it wider,
coaxing him inside
to the bed.
Right.
Not enough nudity for me.
Yeah, but it's all about bringing the emotion and the want.
Right, the desire.
No, I felt that.
They felt that.
They opened the window and the wind came through
and they've closed it off.
Hey, hey, hey, don't steal. Don't steal.
That's what you always do.
We did two sentences.
They close them magically off.
Oh, okay.
Not magic.
It was some factors that came to play a show.
A tornado.
Coming up next, here's a little behind the scenes of my writing session with Dan yesterday.
On the quarter of the sharp coffee demo, everything's sharp.
And they're just catching their client.
They're just getting instantly naked.
I told you, that's a good time.
Okay, yep.
They get naked way quicker than they ever did in ashes.
Give us 20 seconds.
Yeah, okay.
How did two lads write a sexy story?
Clint Meg and Dan.
We're doing smutty stories at the moment.
A lot of people get into their romance novels.
Ash actually is a published author of a romance novel.
Go get my book, by the way.
It's called Love on the Year.
The love story set in radio.
You can get it at Wick Calls, Paper Plus.
Great story.
Have you read it, have you?
No, but I've heard from people that have read it.
Have you read it?
It's sitting next to my beard.
Oh, okay.
So you've got a copy of it.
Yeah, it's right after I finish the one I'm doing now.
Okay.
And then I'm borrowing Clint's copy.
Okay, great.
You could just pay them $25 for it.
It's fine.
Okay, so we're doing smutty stories.
I've already read my version of it.
And now it's time to hear the version
that Dan and Clint wrote with their powers combined.
Now just pulling back the curtain a little bit,
we wrote it mostly together yesterday after the show
and we left it open because we didn't have time.
So I finished it off last night and I'm worried that I've...
No, Dan texts me and goes,
I'm finished the last couple lines because we were so here to writeers block.
And he goes, change it.
if you want. And so I jumped in and looked at it. I said, mate, you're a sexy genius.
Okay. I'm not touching it. Dan was worried he'd maybe ruined her, but then when you checked it,
you were like, you've made it better. He was like a sexy Picasso. A sexy Picasso, okay.
The words that you painted. Well, I'll start with the prompt, and then when you hear the ding,
that's when the boy's writing takes over. It wasn't my honeymoon, but I decided for my birthday
to treat myself to a night alone in the Hilton honeymoon suite. I unpacked my bag and threw on a robe when
there was a knock at the door.
There stood a mountain of a man as if chiseled from stone,
a hard exterior with triceps the size of buses that budged,
budged, bulged, maybe, from beneath his cotton shirt.
The stitching.
Hey, don't laugh.
What about big triceps.
I think buses was too big to be fair, Dan.
Don't laugh.
But Dan was like, come on, they've got to be big.
It's describing.
The stitching under stress from his muscular physique.
alongside him was a woman
I wouldn't have noticed at first
if not for the huge
voluptuous
diamond ring on her finger
gotcha
she was tiny but big in all the
right
God this is
that's like so
she spoke in her thick
Swedish accent
it seems we might have
double booked
the honeymoon suite
to Russia
yeah
I can't do it
why don't you come in
and we can sort this out
I setting my sultriest of tones.
Before I could warn them, both their...
Because at this point, remember, they're all still closed.
Ash, read it sulturally, please.
Sorry, okay.
Before I could warn them, both their robes simultaneously caught on the sharp door handles,
ripping them clean off.
You've done that, you know, with a robe we've walked in
and it gets caught on the door handle.
Yeah, but sometimes it just pulls it a little bit.
I've never been in a situation where...
Sharp, these are quite sharp.
It's so that it pulls the whole robe off.
They were quite silky and...
slippery, so they just push it off straight off. I rushed to grab them only to
catch my own robe on the corner of the same sharp coffee table, instantly revealing my
skimpy red corset underneath. Why are you wearing a red corset underneath the robe when you
buy yourself in a hotel room? Don't question it. Still flustered, I quickly turned to cover my
small but perky breasts. Why do they have to be perky? Just normal. Can't they just be small, normal
breasts.
They were.
In a series of unbelievably unfortunate, I guess this would happen.
Events a gust blew through an open window.
Blowing my corset off.
It was bloody windy that night.
Leaving me as naked as them.
It was a hurricane.
We should have mentioned that.
It was really bad weather that weekend.
They're in Wellington, actually.
Yes.
Windy, well.
Okay.
We stood in silence for a few seconds.
In an it, I think this is the bit that Dan wrote on his own,
in an attempt to break the tension, I blurted out,
so room service, they both smirked knowingly,
and I could tell the muscular man was into the idea.
Naked bodies, oh, I'm not reading that.
No, you have to now, come on.
Naked bodies, don't lie.
His mini-bar had just turned into a full continental breakfast.
I'm not reading that.
You can read that last line.
No, no, no.
And I was ready for him to check me in.
Check in.
I feel like you didn't have a lot of gust over at the end there.
Because what if someone tunes in and thinks that I, like,
and they miss the start of it.
They're like, oh, that Ash.
That was very well-written, Ash.
Very well-written.
They were half-written.
Did you plug your book at the start?
And then they just heard you reading that?
And they're like, not for me, thanks.
Not going to be spending my hard-earned money at Wick calls anytime soon for that.
Okay.
Back again next week.
All flustered.
Some feedback.
Ash is too judgmental and sucks at reading this.
meant to be sexy.
Breasts need to be perky.
Okay, well, I disagree.
Well, Stephen's in, they do.
Thanks for your feedback, Stephen.
He's not questioning the wind blowing her faucet off, though, was he?
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Yesterday, my wife said she had a surprise for me.
I love surprises.
What were you imagining when she said,
I've got a surprise for you?
What was the hope there?
I mean, the hope is always what we obviously think of it is.
But she said, it's a surprise.
with your brother.
So I was like, okay, well, it's not what I was thinking then.
Oh, you never know.
Back to the drawing board.
So my brother's wife and my wife had got together and they were like, hey, six o'clock
tonight, this was yesterday, you guys are going to go and do like a thing.
You're going to pick up Bevan and we're going to give you an address.
And I was like, oh, that's cool.
Oh, my gosh.
They just wanted a girl's night, obviously.
No, they were both at their own separate.
Oh, they didn't hang out.
I kept, and it really was totally altruistic.
So I put the address in and.
pull over out the front
and I'm checking it
and it says
Skintopia
and I was like
ah I think we're probably
maybe it's some sort of
like facial
type massage thing
but you'd love that
wouldn't you'd love that
and I was like yeah
and I was like that
my brother wouldn't
he's a beller
and so he's a bit
manlier than I am
hard to believe
but he is
and so I'm like
Is it ever possible
it'll still be nice
and relaxing for us both
whatever
I pull up
and there's a lady
there that I recognise
Katrina from a PR company
and she goes
get down
Get down, get down, get down.
And I was like, are you being robbed?
What is going on?
So I crouched down and I walk in, she's like, quick, quick.
And as I'm going in, I can hear a friend of mine Ben Boyce from John On Ben, another radio station that you shouldn't listen to.
And I'm like, I can hear him and his whole family.
And she goes, right, are you guys ready?
Put these on.
And she gives us these dermatica headbands.
And I was like, my brother.
What is going on?
How confusing is this?
My brother looks at me like with these eyes that are like,
you're dead bro like if you knew this
and you brought me along because this is just not his thing
he thinks it's like a radio bit
and then she go we go
she goes you ready to go I was like no what are we doing
and she goes oh so you're going to go in there
and Ben doesn't know but
you're going to do his like facial
and he's going to think it's like the lady
and then when you're finished you're going to bend down and kiss him
on the forehead and say goodbye
what
when you told me that this
something happened I did not
for one second thing
that would be anything to do with this
No way.
And so I'm like, it's a friend of mine.
Maybe he's doing like a sponsored post
and I don't want to ruin his video
if I'm the like clinch pin in it working.
So I glinch, thanks.
But he's clint, so I guess he could be the clinch pin.
So I go in and I like put the stuff on my hands
and he's got the cucumbers over his eyes
so he doesn't know it's me.
And I'm rubbing my hands which he seemed to enjoy
but that's because I work in radio.
I have soft hands.
And then I do the thing and then I bend down
and I kiss him on the point and I say goodbye.
And he goes, who's that?
that takes off turns around
oh mate you got me you got me
how long were you rubbing his face for before this
15 20 what's
what's your brother bevan doing watching with his
hip band on
for goodness sake
there's two of the logic
ear band
and then Ben goes
what are you doing here and I go
I want to not that's the same question
I'm trying to work out he's just watching
he's just in the corner watching
and then so then I'm like
I better not have come all the way out here tonight
on my Wednesday with my brother just to help a friend, bless him, with his social media post.
And then the lady goes, no, okay, now here we go.
And I was like, okay, great, man, we're going to get our own little message.
She goes, right, so what we're going to do is we're going to teach you today how to do a face message on each other.
So my brother, I have to lie down.
And my brother, with the most callous hands you'll ever come across, had to put stuff on his hands.
And he had to start giving me an eyebrow.
massage. A little rough bits of
hand, callus is scraping across your
skin. And the lady's teaching these
wrinkle erasers, techniques
with his fingers. So he's pulling
up my skin and he's playing the piano
on my cheeks that's supposed to go back to the
air. And he's looking at me the whole time
going, I'm going to kill you. Like, I'm going to kill you.
Now that's on Jamie. That is on Jamie.
And then we switch and then I have to massage
my brother's face as well.
And it was literally like, as soon
as this is done, bro. We are so out of here
and we're going to go grab a beer or something.
but he wasn't in the mood.
He was like, just drop me home.
I'm just going home.
And I was like, okay.
And the lady's like, you can give the headbands.
Brilliant.
So it was a paid post.
Did you get any money?
No, no.
I don't know what Ben's deal was, what was going on.
But after we helped out with the prank,
my brother and I just massaged each other's faces on the boys' night,
took our product, and I dropped him off home.
And 45 minutes later, I was home.
And I was saying to my wife,
What was that?
Is it going to be one of those things
that you guys have never speak about again?
Like the time that...
We haven't, we have a message, we haven't talked about it.
I just chopped off, is it? See you, bro.
And I was like, yeah.
Well, there you go, Wednesdays for the boys, lads, lads, lads, that's.
Clint Migg and Dan
Gossip of Entertainment.
Clit Miggins and Dan with Ash London.
Scandal.
The entire cast of Dawson's Creek are reuniting.
That's the headlines, of course.
I clicked it so quickly.
And it is for a canter charity.
So I didn't realize that James Vanderbigg has actually been diagnosed with colorectal cancer last year.
So he's fighting that battle.
But has this, the whole cast are getting together.
So James Van derbyg, Michelle Williams, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson.
So that's like the main four.
And then the side characters like Busy Phillips, so I think is the best.
They're getting together on stage, selling tickets and fundraising,
and they're doing a live reading of the pilot episode.
Oh, that's fun.
Isn't that so cool?
Yeah.
If you were going to have any cast of any show, free you know,
Was it be for a, yeah.
Oh, I can.
RIP and Matthew Perry, we can.
I know.
They couldn't do it now.
I know, I don't think there was ever on the cards, was it?
Would there be an actor that could fill in for Matthew Perry
and make it somewhat believable, like a comedic, lovable guy?
Who could it be?
Like, I can't think of anyone.
Who would you have Clint?
Replace them?
Who would you have as, like, any cast, reunite for a live reading of the pilot or?
I mean, Survivor doesn't work one of the greatest shows ever made.
That would just be like Survivor All-Stars
It's happened before
Yeah, yeah, it's reality
So that doesn't really work
I'd have the West Wing
Oh, what'd you have?
Schitt's Creek
Oh, very good
It could be great
Didn't that show just came about at a time
Where we just needed it
It was like a gift to all of us
It's been talk about a movie
I don't know if it's actually happening
But they have spoken about maybe
Doing a feature-to-length movie of Schittes-crieg
I would watch the heck out of that
God I loved it
So much.
So well written and so well acted.
So well.
Who's your favourite character?
Moira.
Yeah, me too.
Of course, Moira.
No, her son.
I like her son.
David?
Yeah, David.
Yeah.
What I love about Shitz, Craig, was that it was, like, there was no hatred.
Like, it was like a utopia.
It was like, if the world looked like the way we wanted it to look like with
tolerance and acceptance, this is what it would be in a small town.
I just loved it so much.
Yeah.
So, yes, the charity events happening.
late September, no doubt we'll get some footage
from the live of our childhood, best of our childhood years.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
We were talking, was it, last week, maybe the week before,
about people that are, like, getting scared of getting older
and who actually it's something to embrace.
Yeah, I was talking about how I feel about turning forward
and we had lots of texts come through from so many amazing women
saying, you know, my 40s are my best years ever,
my 50s are even better.
But there was one text that came through amongst all of that
that made us all stop in our tracks.
It was one of those moments where,
you just get served up a dose of reality,
something that makes you stop and go,
oh gosh,
it was really sobering.
Yeah.
And I read like this,
it just said,
I'm loving my 40s,
finally feel like I can be me.
Only bugger is I have terminal cancer.
Definitely live it up, guys.
And that hit us, hey?
Absolutely.
Because we were obviously talking about
something trivial, you know,
and it is a privilege to get older.
Totally.
And the fact that she read that Michelle reached out,
not in like a sad,
stoppy way,
happy. I'm loving, living my life and this horrible thing has happened to me. It was such
an interesting way of putting it. And she's so generous to share her story that we thought
we would love to hear more from this incredible woman. Yeah, I think there are, I think you'd be hard
to find somebody who hasn't experienced the impact of cancer in their family and their friends
in their like circle. And it is one of those things. Even my, my auntie who passed away like
four months ago from cancer. I always found it really tricky about whether she wanted.
me to talk to her about this thing that is having huge impact on her,
or whether she wanted me to just pretend it didn't exist
so we could just enjoy the moment and not have it ruined by talking about her illness.
Now, this is a really beautiful affirming chat,
but we do just want to say if you've got little leaves in the car,
this might raise some questions.
You know, it's still pretty heavy.
So the chat will be on our podcast if you'd rather put some music on for a couple of minutes,
but that's your call.
Yeah, but it is very, very positive.
Yeah, absolutely.
She's one of the most positive people we've ever spoken to.
I think this for me, this part of the chat was probably the most heartbreaking.
I'm literally down to months.
I asked, like, am I going to be here for Christmas?
And Doc Thompson was like, I don't know.
You could be, you may not be.
So we're going to play a full chat.
Well, you know, a decent chunk of it next.
But I think for me, after talking to her, watching my kids, like, run around,
playing with a kite in the weekend.
Yeah.
And it's those moments that you go, oh, you just want to, like, take in those incredible moments.
but also those happy moments
are unbelievably sad
because you're reminded again
that there are limited moments like that
that you're going to get to experience.
Like it's finite.
And so I think it's a really encouraging chat
that regardless of whether it's something
that you're experiencing in your world
and we'll just give you a new perspective
on how you're living it
and what you're doing with it.
Helen, Megan Dan.
Michelle joined us after the show the other day
to talk about her cancer story
and it's one that is very inspiring
and we thought would be, with her permission,
and she was more than happy to share,
would be something that would be really encouraging
to a lot of people.
Take a listen.
Hi, how's it going?
Good baby girl.
So we thought maybe just,
if you wouldn't mind, tell us
about the kind of little journey you've been on.
We don't even know how long it's been,
but kind of what brought you to the diagnosis
and where you are today?
Yeah, so I turned 40,
God, when did I turn 40 in like 2020?
I think I was.
And then I sort of was getting some random as symptoms, which I thought with menopause.
So I went to my doctor, your blood's come back, menopause will get you off to do a mammogram, though.
She was just being real careful before putting my HRT.
And, yeah, it came from the mammogram that I had cancer.
I was staged three at that time, so I went through all the chemo, radiation, had double mastectomy with reconstruction.
It was like a year and a bit until the...
that came back and it's metastasized now.
So what does that mean metastasize for people that don't understand?
So originally it was breast cancer.
So it was in my breast tissue.
Yeah.
But now it's moved onto other lymph nodes in my body.
And it's gone actually into my skin.
And it's in a bit of my sternum bone and in my lungs,
which is kind of why I'm talking about funny and breathing a bit difficult.
Do you feel angry about it?
Yeah, that's weird.
I haven't felt anger
I don't know if that's going to come
maybe a little bit later on
it's all a little bit surreal
like I'm literally in limbo just waiting
for the disease
to pretty much take me
so yeah
this is a question to ask but have you been given a time frame
so yeah I'm literally down to months
I asked out pretty blank
I was like am I going to be here for Christmas
and Dr Thompson was like
I don't know.
You could be, you may not be.
So, yeah, it's all kind of up in the, yeah, a real, real bit of lumbo.
And you said, we're all parents in the room.
Yeah.
How do you have that conversation?
Like, I know this is a, you know, it's a big question to ask, and I don't want to upset you,
but I think it's important to talk about it because people don't talk about it.
But how do you have that conversation with your daughter?
Yeah.
Yeah, I haven't had, but for a long time about how I was going to.
to tell her, I only got married in January as well.
So my husband's got two boys from another relationship.
So they're a little bit younger, so they kind of get that I'm sick.
But that's kind of that.
But my daughter, so I literally just sat her down and said, the cancer's back.
And she got a little bit upset, and I was a little bit upset.
And then I said, but there's something else.
I said, I can't cure it.
No one can cure it.
And then we were just, obviously,
I was set for a little bad and, yeah,
and then she'd just ask a few questions.
And she has up and down days,
like there's days where she just wakes up
and doesn't want to go to school
because she wants to spend time with me.
Fair enough.
She's, I don't know, how is a kid meant to deal with it?
No, how old is she yet?
How old is your daughter?
So she's 11.
She turns 12 months.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Is it one of those things that's like, just talking about it, desensitize the stigma a little bit in your household?
Or do you not want to talk about it because you just want to enjoy life without reminding yourself of this all the time?
No, so we're, to me and my husband, we're pretty much black humor about it.
You know, Melbourne, I came back with some ugs and feels like, why don't you get me some?
And I go, oh, I just, you know, got them for me.
She goes, oh, that's okay.
When you go, I'll have them anyway.
So, you know, it's kind of like fun little jokes like that.
Yeah, but if that's how you deal with it and that works for you guys,
then who's to tell you you're doing it wrong?
That's kind of our way to get through it.
So it's the first part of Michelle's story.
The rest of Michelle's story will play for you tomorrow on the show
just about how you then live life knowing you have a finite amount of time
and how you live every moment and every day to the fullest
with that information in the back you're here at all times.
Yeah, and so many texts coming through from you guys
that just proves that this is something that is happening
if not to our listeners but to someone they know
and the more we can have these conversations and learn to talk about it.
Like I said, we talk about birth so much.
We don't often talk about what happens at the other end of the spectrum.
Especially in such a positive way as well.
We were the ones that were a mess.
She's amazing.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Win $10,000 right now with the H-10K-E-T money.
Oh, thanks to our mates of BNZ, whatever you're starting.
BNZ has the tools you need to master your money from the get-go.
Ten questions.
Starting with the lead ash gives you inside 30 seconds, wins you $10,000.
No repeated answers, but you can pass.
She works at the hospital.
She's from New Plymouth.
Good morning.
Dee, you're playing this morning.
Hi.
How are you?
Are you excited, babe?
Very.
They're nervous
Um, a little bit
Come on, you have the confidence on her, get a girl
You can do this
Okay, your time will start
At the end of Ash asking you your first question
And your letter is
L-M-N-O-P
Al-M-N-O-P
Al-Falima
Correct
You know, Dee, if you won this
You could start your own macadamia nut company
And call it D's nuts
I've had that before
Yeah, and you've had it again
Okay, sweet angel, your letter is L. Are you ready to go?
Yes.
Okay, can I please have a star sign?
Libra.
A drink.
Lemonade.
A movie.
A lion king.
Something you can open.
Letter.
A pasta dish.
Lazzania.
A sports player.
Lion on me see.
Something you can grow.
Lime tree.
A capital C.
London. A four-letter word.
Love.
A girl's name?
Louise.
Oh my gosh. Okay, stop, stop. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Before we celebrate, we have to adjudicate.
I've got one question mark.
Okay, she has answered all ten questions.
That is good.
That is the first step D.
Hospital worker from New Plymouth, the first step to winning 10K.
the first hurdle has been crossed
but we need to adjudicate her answers.
I have a question mark on question three.
A movie?
Lion King. The official title is the Lion King.
It is true. Okay.
Will the boss be that picky?
Oh.
Generally, generally.
Or not.
Generally the rule has been that
the is a T.
The name of the film is the Lion King
and it starts with a T.
So I think we need
to maybe we need to go to a break or a song.
Oh, I don't know.
No, we have to play by the rules
because a lot of people listening
will then come at us.
Rules are rules.
Dee, you absolutely smash that out of the park
like I have not seen on the show.
How are you feeling right now, actually?
Dee, what's going on?
I'm just hearing you breathe heavy.
Oh my God, I'm sorry.
Who's in the background with you?
Just some of my work colleagues.
Okay, so we've got the boss on the line.
Put him on to line two.
We'll conference you both up.
Adrian, good morning.
Good morning, guys.
Hello.
Okay, Dahl.
I can call him.
He's my husband.
Okay, so you heard that?
I've got a screaming three and a half a year old in the background.
So I heard some of that, yeah.
Okay, so Dee answered all the questions.
The letter was L.
She absolutely smashed it.
For movie, the answer was The Lion King.
Well, she said Lion King, but the movie is the Lion King.
and we have to do this fairly.
What's...
What are we doing here?
What's the big boss say?
What?
Okay.
Got all the other questions within the time?
Yeah, with time to spend.
It was easily done.
I mean, can we get...
I mean, if she didn't win it,
on a technicality, is there a lesser amount of money we can give her?
Let me just check with producers.
You guys have the same.
because I had 10, and I just had the question mark on three,
but all the others were good?
Everything else was a clean sweep, man.
I've never seen anything like this.
Okay.
What do your kids call the movie Clint?
Lion King.
What do they call it?
Lion King.
Oh, they call it Mufasa or Simba or...
But Lion King, I would say it.
I don't know if you want to play that game
where we call Cameron and who's 10 and go,
hey, Cam, what's that movie with Simba and stuff and whatever?
Don't put it up to your 10-year-old.
No, no, no, no, no.
And I'm also Team D here, so, yeah.
I think all three of us in the studio are going, she got it correct.
But we don't want to lessen other winners.
No.
Because there are other people that are going, oh, you, yeah.
And the texts that are coming through are saying she's a healthcare worker,
she does amazing stuff.
Give it to her.
Come on.
I think my kids would call it Lion King.
Can we watch Lion King?
Okay.
Okay.
I think...
Wait, wait, I have an idea.
Oh, God.
Okay.
Can we discuss it off here and come back?
Oh, no! We can't!
No, it's a really good idea, Dee.
It's a really good idea.
And it will still result in you getting something amazing and someone else.
Just leave it with me.
Play a song, I promise, in the next couple of minutes,
we will have an answer and it will be something that people will be happy with.
Okay, hey.
All right, Dee, I'm not sure if the audible that Ash is just called is going to benefit you or hinder you.
I know, I know, I know, but I promise, I promise it's a great idea that everyone's going to be stuck done.
D's $10,000 is hanging by a thread. Will she get it next?
Clint, Megan, Danny, H-TK, Easy Money.
Okay, so if you've just tuned in, the amazing Dee from New Plymouth, who's a hospital worker, she smashed easy money out of the park.
10 answers.
The one in contention was beginning with Elle
a movie. She said
The Lion King, technically it's a T but
you know, we're good people.
Do you want to be more stressed? Do you want to ever listen?
For those who just tuned in, this was the
attempt that Dee had just a few minutes ago.
L MNOPI.
You know, Dee, if you won this,
you could start your own macadamia nut company
and call it D's nuts.
We shouldn't have replayed that.
I've had that before.
And you've had it again.
Okay, sweet angel, your letter is L. Are you ready to go?
Yes.
Okay, can I please have a star sign?
Libra.
A drink.
Lemonade.
A movie.
Lion King.
Something you can open.
Letter.
A pasta dish.
Lazzania.
A sports player.
Lionel Messi.
Something you can grow.
Lime tree.
A capital city.
London. A four-letter word.
Love. A girl's name?
Louise.
Oh my gosh. Okay. So we have got Dee back on the line.
Hello, Dee. You absolute champion chops. Okay.
So we have spoken off air and we've come, I think, to a pretty amazing agreement.
So are you there, Dee?
I am, yeah.
Okay. So would you like to, we just, would you like to tell people,
what we're going to do?
So with the lady that was on before Michelle with cancer,
we're going to slip the 10 grand and have $5,000 each.
That sounds like a great alternative.
This is very, very amazing of you.
I think it's an alternative that means everybody wins
and I know our listeners will be so stoked on it.
Would you like to maybe try and call Michelle
and get her on the air right now?
Hello, good morning, Michelle.
Hi.
Hi, Michelle. We have just got D on the line who just absolutely smashed easy money out of the park.
There was one answer that was in contention. She would like to tell you something this morning, Michelle.
So, Michelle, I am going to split the $10,000 with you and go 50-50 and give you $5,000.
Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Oh, no, I listen all the time,
and, like, people are so close and so close.
I was like, damn, I'm down to his son and we finally get it,
and you finally got it.
No, no, no, no, he doesn't have that.
No, I can't take that.
Oh, you're so sweet.
But no, I can't take it off you.
No, take something and do something with your daughter.
Oh, look, I've been lucky enough.
I've got amazing friends and family
have been helping me out
and because I was terminally,
I actually got access to my life insurance as well.
So I'm not going to take 5K from you
when you deserve it just as much.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, you're so sweet, thank you.
Well, this is a moment.
This is...
Wow.
So, Michelle, we knew you were an amazing woman
before with an amazing attitude.
but I mean, I'm speechless.
And Dee, just as amazing as well
in the sense that I know that maybe it was in contention
and it could have been one of those players
where he could have walked away with nothing
and the idea of splitting half of your $10,000 winnings
with someone who you don't know
as a completely strange to you.
It was also an incredible thing
that few people I know would do.
There's a lot of people texting three right now
in tears because of this moment.
Michelle, you are...
All my work colleagues and my officer in tears as well.
It just proves that you are two amazing women
with such amazing outlooks on life,
both so generous, both kind of willing to do so much for each other.
So look, Michelle, I mean, you're happy.
You say you've got your life insurance.
You're well taken care of.
Your daughter is well taken care of.
Is this what we're giving D the full $10,000?
Is that what we're saying, Michelle?
Yeah, 100% goes to D.
D.
D, you tried to do an incredible deed, Michelle's here.
you keep it, babe, and you spend it on your friends and family.
$10,000 cash.
You are the winner of easy money.
Wow.
We've learned two things today.
You two are both amazing people, and it's the Lion King.
Wow.
Dee, what are you going to spend your $10,000 on?
I think the first thing might have to go and do is get a message.
And then there's always that nuts store
Dan was talking about
Yeah, these nuts
I have a bar of that in my pantry
Yeah, I love it
Hey, congratulations
Girls, thanks so much
for being on the show this morning
Congratulations, Dee
and Michelle, thanks for being so inspiring
by being so honest with your story
on here as well this morning
All good, thank you
Good night, thank you for a much
two amazing
amazing women
it's just so wonderful
can we stop the show now
and just go home
that was I'm exhausted
that was so stressful
but also I feel so happy
I feel like my belief in people
is restored
like there's so many good people out there
if we ever played that game again
it needs to be called Dizzy Money
DZ Money
The Clint Big and Dan podcast
Now what is really crazy is
because of how easy money played out
We need to Rostle
audio pivot, pivot. We need, that's what we need.
This is more than a pivot.
This is one hell of a pivot.
We have like a loose show sheet that gives us a bit of a guide.
It's what we're going to talk about.
And we realised when we were prepping yesterday, we were like,
oh, Dan was talking about how his mum has been calling him daddy for the last 18 months,
which obviously has certain connotations.
Because when she looks after my son, I'll get home and she'll go,
oh, look, daddy's home.
Because she's kind of talking to my son, but also to me.
And she refers to me as daddy quite a bit, which is,
It doesn't really see.
It's uncomfortable, isn't it?
Yeah. And so in the sheet, not knowing what was going to transpire this morning,
we were like, Dan, you need to call your mum and tell her that you want her to stop calling you daddy before it escalates.
So it is a, yeah, like you said, there's a straight and pivot to go from what has happened to be like, Dan, now you've got to call your mum and say, stop calling me daddy.
But that's life, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's the ups and downs, the ebbs and flows.
It's serious and comedy all mixed in together.
Is this a down or an up, though?
That's what I'm questioning.
I'm down for you and up for us.
Okay, so we'll just put me the call through to my mum.
Yeah, are we going to continue on?
And this is, it's just an intervention of sorts, I guess.
Yeah, yeah.
A daddy intervention.
Nope.
I should have thought about that before I said.
Okay, so you just need to tell your mum that you don't want her calling you that
because it has certain connotations that you don't really want your mum.
Okay.
I'm going to dial, pivot.
Okay, good luck.
Okay, are we going to get a dirty?
Hello, Daddy
Oh, straight-in
I'm sorry
Oh my God
Mum, you've got to stop
You're out of control
How are you listening?
She's listening
Are you looking up to George today, Jules?
Yeah, I am
And he's sitting on my knee
Now the thing is, mum
You have to stop saying it
There's other ways to say
Like to talk about me while I'm in the room
Just go son
Dad
Hello Daddy
Do you know why it's weird to call him, Daddy?
Do you have any understanding of culturally what that means?
No.
No.
Okay, so who wants to explain what?
Chuck and up.
No, no, it's your mum, mate.
Well, I only call him Daddy when George is around.
It's Daddy, isn't it, darling?
Yeah, but the thing is, here's the thing.
When a woman calls a guy Daddy, there's certain connotations.
Like, if I go up to Ash and I'm like, Daddy's home.
Yeah, I'm like, oh, I'm just.
You're back to get my bread buttered
and my daddy's home.
Sorry that I looked at you
while I said that.
I'm never going to butter your bread again.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, you know,
but you're not my daddy though.
Okay.
Or are you?
Obviously not.
I'm your son.
You never question whether I'm your daddy.
Your daddy passed away many years ago.
You know who would like to be called Daddy?
Clint.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I could imagine him wanting to be called
Daddy.
Can you just call him Daddy once?
Say hello to Webber.
Yeah, hi, Jules.
Thank you.
Oh, Daddy.
Okay.
Thanks, Jules.
Please tell me George's napping right now.
Hey, listen, listen, Clint, I don't want another call from your mother.
Thank you, so.
Yeah, yeah, okay, deal.
Bye.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Lesh, go.
My daughter and I are starting from the beginning,
Season 1 of Friends
What a show
So good isn't that
It's so great
And I think it's one of those
unbelievably popular shows
Because of its relatability
And in every episode
You can go
Oh my God that's happened to me
Or I know someone that that's happened to
It was one of the last as well
Like even though I think
It finished in 2003 maybe
The last season
But it was one of those
The last sort of appointment watching shows
Where the whole family
Would gather around the TV
And kind of watch it
I think it was on a Thursday night
the new episodes would come out.
Well, there's one, for the Friends phone
this morning, I'm going to throw out something that Ross does.
I was going to say arguably, but he's not.
He's the greatest character in Friends.
He's the most colourful.
He has the best storylines.
He's the best.
Best comedic actor.
David Schwimmer.
And there is an anniversary that Ross celebrates
that I have never heard anybody actually.
Maybe it's super unrelatedable.
In this specific example of a relationship anniversary
that he obviously celebrates or commemorates
or remembers.
Oh my God.
Is today the 20th, October 20th?
I was hoping you wouldn't remember.
Oh, what's wrong with the 20th?
Today's the day, Carol and I first consummated our physical relationship.
It's sex.
Consumated makes me sound, makes me think of consomme like the tomato soup.
Consumated.
You'll be the only one?
You'd use that word.
You're like Ross, Dan.
You'd say consummate.
I've never heard of consummate.
Like the soup?
Really?
No.
It's delicious.
Sounds lovely.
Who is having an anniversary for that?
I don't know anyone that has the old, well, British Carl called it a banniversary.
So maybe he does because he had a name for it.
Yeah, I, a lot of people wouldn't even remember the date.
I remember the date of the first time that me and Adrian got it on.
Really?
You don't even remember it?
I don't even remember.
You remember the day or you remember the date?
The date.
Really?
But do you celebrate it every year?
We used to, but then we got engaged and married and had a kid
and you get all these other anniversaries that kind of become the real anniversaries.
They take precedent, yeah.
Yeah, but in so many ways, I think the first time that, you know,
like something like that is so special that it's almost more significant than...
What was the date out of interest?
January 20th.
Okay.
Because it was our first date.
Oh, wow.
First date!
A date.
Ashley.
Wow, you and I are very different.
No, no, but we loved each other from a, like, we were in love.
Like, we were in love before.
A slow build.
A very slow build.
And we knew before the date that we were, that it was meant to be.
Okay, well, mine was April 12th.
And we do celebrate it because it was our wedding anniversary.
So mine was my first date and yours was your wedding date.
Mine, I remember the first date was the fourth.
May the fourth be with you, Star Wars.
Of course, it's something nerdy on.
But then we didn't have sex for six months.
Okay, we want to know, okay, not specifically if you're celebrating, you know, your consummation date,
but we'd like to know what's your unique anniversary that you celebrate that?
Few other people would because it's important to you, but if you told people, they'd be like, that's weird.
Just as it could be a fun thing, like the first time you, oh, I can't think of anything now,
the first, come on, boy, tell me out, you made, you made your famous chicken pot pie.
Yeah, and every year you go, it's chicken pot pie.
Day.
That's the anniversary of the first time they met the family.
Yeah, good.
Maybe you met Harry Stiles and he gave you like a kiss on the cheek and a meat and green.
So now on that date, you always just thrash Harris.
It's a Starziversary.
Yeah, a good one.
You broke up, you went on a break using another friend's reference,
and then got back together and you celebrate that getting together instead of the original one.
That's very contentious because then it's like you've got two anniversaries, which one do you choose?
Have you got one produced girl?
No, I just got a couple of mates who celebrate what they call like a fart-averse.
It's the first time they'd farted in...
In front of their partner?
My best friend...
Is that instead of the wedding anniversary or is it...
In addition to?
It's a big day.
It's a big day.
My best friend Anna has been married for 10 years.
Still never farted in front of her husband.
Good on her.
The first time Dan did it.
The first time Dan did it.
We had to record it because it was a radio bin
because he'd never done it.
I used to go outside.
Okay, I'll find the audio because it's hilarious because she's like,
Daniel!
No, don't play that again.
I'll find if we after the break.
It's not in the system.
0,800 the edge.
I love you guys.
What is the unique anniversary that you and your partner?
Or maybe it is just you celebrate every year.
Clint Megan Dance.
We're doing the Friends Phoneer, Season 1, Episode 4.
Notice that Ross celebrates the date, him and his wife consummated their relationship.
And I thought it was a strange thing to celebrate that date specifically.
But maybe there are people out there to have very unique anniversaries that they celebrate.
You'd be correct.
Clint, a lot of people are calling through and texting through.
We'll go straight to Hannah.
From Christchurch, good morning.
What's the anniversary you're celebrating?
Ours is actually April Fool's Day.
So when I was seven years old, my mum sent me to school with an April Fool's joke,
which was a can of cat food in the lunch.
Good gag.
Yeah, with a note saying April Fool's Day.
But she was a day early and did it on the 31st.
Okay.
So I was...
She sent you to school with no lunch, basically.
Wait, and did you...
What if you didn't read the note?
I didn't read it.
Oh, if you couldn't read yet.
I opened my lunchbox.
Yeah, I opened my lunchbox at lunchtime.
And my normal lunch was there as well, but there was a can of cat food with a wee note saying April Fool's Day.
But it wasn't April Fool's Day?
No, no.
And I was so embarrassed to tell everybody.
They're like, why would you mum do this?
It's not even April Fool's Day.
So I just made up that it was our tradition to celebrate a day early and our family.
And now you still do to this day.
Yeah.
It's March Fool's Day for your family, Hannah.
I love that.
That's quite ingenious of a young child to like think on her feet like that.
Yeah.
Rebecca, your one's a little bit more serious but still amazing.
Yes.
Hi.
Hi, my one is the 3rd of April 2018.
We celebrate every year because it was a date that my son had his first open heart surgery.
And that is a day you'd never forget, I'd imagine.
How old was he, Rebecca?
He was eight months old
Oh my goodness me
Oh my goodness me
How do you celebrate it now?
Is it a happy day?
Yeah
Because it saves his life
So he's like
Not a birthday cake
But a heart cake
And yeah
To celebrate it like that
Third of April
We're going to put that in our diaries
And third of April
What's your son's name Rebecca?
His name's Cody
Cody
Third of April next year
We'll be giving Cody a call
to say happy heart anniversary.
Oh, thanks.
Good on, you done.
Thanks, calling Bix.
Somebody else texts in saying,
I celebrate happy heart day each year as well
on the anniversary of my heartache.
And then they followed up with another text saying,
heart attack.
Oh, yes.
Damn auto-cucumber.
They really need to reset their auto-correct.
And producer was telling us about people
in a relationship who celebrate the first time
their partner farted in front of them
because a lot of people, that's a big deal.
Clint, don't.
I found it.
You found it.
Found the audio of the first time Dan fired in front of his wife, and it was a prank.
We made him do it because we were, like, absolutely, like, gobsmack that he had.
He's reaching out across the desk.
When I did this, it was very hard to hear the little toot.
Okay, and so they put it through, like, an audio processing thing to make it louder.
It wasn't that loud.
How many years had it been before this moment happened?
Well, I think we've been together, like, three or four years.
Oh, my gosh.
Crazy, eh?
Crazy, eh?
To this day, I don't think I've ever really.
seen evidence of Hannah doing it.
Oh my God.
I don't even know she's got anything.
This was Dan farting for the first time in front of his wife in three years.
What time's dinner ready?
Uh, maybe like 20 minutes.
Okay.
Uh-huh.
Oh, no.
Sorry.
Sorry about that.
Goodness me, I don't know what happened there.
Why are you laughing?
It's a natural.
thing to happen in a body, human body.
Yeah, it is. I just don't think I've ever heard it come out of you before.
I'm sorry.
You know what? I've ever said this on here, but I sat upstairs in our house that day for about
45 minutes coaxing myself to do it.
And I was like, I was like doing kegles and stuff trying to get rid of it.
He's eating beans. It's open up a can of fake beans.
My wife wished I spoiled her like you do yours by not doing that.
Before that day, I was outside crop dusting.
Oh, she's Clint, Megan, Dad.
London, although she's snuck out.
She's not here at the moment, which is probably the perfect time day.
Lazy.
Perfect time to ask you.
She's been winning all my one when we are.
When's the show done?
Babe, you can go home at 10.
Yeah, off you go.
You know how she wanted to become a Waz fan?
Because the Warriors are playing Saturday night against the Titans.
We have not been playing well against this year.
Saturday night against the Titans.
Three more games.
She wanted to jump on the bandwagon.
Many will.
She said on Monday she was going to learn
all starting 13 Warriors' names.
Oh, here she comes, crawling back in.
No, I'm giving donuts, but yeah.
I wonder if she's done the homework.
About the footy players.
They've had the Warriors players.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah?
I've started, but I don't, well, I'm not getting tested yet, Friday.
Yeah, okay, but I was just like, do we put it on the show for Friday?
Because I was like, I don't want to embarrass her, but I don't know if she's been studying.
Yeah, I've been trying.
Okay, if I see the name Roger, what's his last name?
I'm not going to do it yet.
You can't test me until I'm confident that I've learned it.
So she's left the homework to the last.
No, I swear on Buddy's life.
I wouldn't make that up.
She wouldn't swear on her son's life.
Okay, well, let's see how you go.
So we, again, to recap the rules, for you to be on the bandwagon officially,
there are 13 starting players, and we were going to throw five at you.
Yep.
But you obviously need to learn all 13 in case.
Exactly.
Are you going to just give me their first name and I need to give the last name?
Is that how we should do it?
Well, I think we were going to give you the number.
Oh, okay.
Or would you prefer, we go, first name is, and you give us last name?
I'll leave it up to you to decide.
Okay, and you have to get a perfect score, five from five.
I had a little idea as well, and I don't know if I could, can I have, do I have time to pitch it to you now?
When's the last home game of the Warriors?
Next weekend against the Eels.
Could we organise some sort of bandwagon?
We start it somewhere close to the game.
That's funny.
And get a whole load of the biggest new fans of the Warriors on it, and we drive that bandwagon.
up to the gates.
Are there any new followers, though?
Is it everyone in?
How great would it be if we could talk to the guys
who run the halftime show?
And we could actually do a lap of the bandwagon on the field
and all the OG Warriors fans can cheer on the new ones.
She's gone too far with it, guys.
Okay, sorry.
I'm now eating now.
She's eating now, so she's...
We've lost ash again.
Okay, we'll look forward to that tomorrow.
Let's see how you go.
Up the Waz.
Wait, are we on air?
I thought we were recording the only fans that a whole time.
That's the edge.
Holy shit.
made it the whole way through.
