Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. If this podcast was a person, it would be banned from family gatherings. Oh, pissed off, Uncle John. This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast. No, no matter. Clint Megan Dan with Ash London. The Edge Brecky. Hitts harder in Auckland.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Good morning, one to six on your Tuesday. Welcome. Beautiful humans. Good to be here. More tickets to Ed Shear and after eight. $1,000 cash always up for grabs. times seven and eight. Full of it today.
Starting point is 00:00:32 I'm full of it. To get our brains in the zone, should we do some quick maths now for you? Yeah, go on. All right, two plus two, divided by two, plus three, times five. 15, 15.
Starting point is 00:00:45 I got 25. Yeah, 25. I was going to say that, but then he said 15 to three real. I was going to say 20. It ended on five, and then I said times five. Sorry, I was trying to find this music
Starting point is 00:00:55 while I was doing the math. Of course, I actually didn't either. You know what? You just need a quick brain. It's right, and you've both got quick brains. You can't do radio if you've got a slow brain. I want to rematch that. No, you've been tied with me.
Starting point is 00:01:08 You have to live with that clip. You have to live with the fact that you were as smart as me. I could just shout out of a wrong number and dad will copy it. When you can go, what did he write down? 18, okay, 18. Oh, the amount of times I tried to copy in exams, man. Really? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Do you write on your leg and then go to the bathroom? I did everything I could to cheat math. Like, I'd write on my drink bottle. and produce the paper formulas and rubble their nails. You know what the little trick was? Back in that when I was at school they had the iPods, the iPod nanos
Starting point is 00:01:37 and that had a little calculator function on there and the teachers didn't know. And so I'd have like a little calculator in my pocket that I'd pull out and it could be able to like do a little equation. When we're doing like math exams, you're allowed a calculator. That's because we were in smart math. It was like scientific, like hardcore.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Proper algebra. I was in kindergarten. I was in math with calculus. Eli, you needed the calculator, otherwise you just weren't getting through it. And those calculates cost $200. I remember my mum being like, what the? Do I look like I was a calculus guy, Clint? No.
Starting point is 00:02:08 I was struggling with Times Table. Seven times eight. Couldn't tell you. Oh, that's bad. Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, my gosh. Get into your 6am throwback, us versus the playlist. What do we got?
Starting point is 00:02:22 I think it could be an easy beat, you know? Does that mean that one that's schedule is crap? Yeah, I feel like it would be like if, you know, someone's step. Dan out to a fight and they were like nine and Dan would be like okay we got this yeah I got this yeah it would be the first time nah I hate this song
Starting point is 00:02:36 is this Madonna yeah what no no no no no no no no no no no okay I mean who will we the sound okay I've got no reason I can't ever listen to it I got no reason as to why I don't need one to play we should be playing this
Starting point is 00:02:52 but it just came on in like a mix when I was at the gym and I was like God this song goes hard Oh, I think he's missed. Oh, third-eye blind! I mean, all the songs in the world, and we're going to play that way. And the only third-eye blind song that anyone knows is the De-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D. That's a tune.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Oh, but then also, we've heard that so many times. I am a B-Zar guy, though, which I don't think radio bosses love because they're like, no, everyone knows. We need a background. Everyone knows all the small things. Blink 182. Oh, I wouldn't mind playing that song. I love that song.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Can we play What's My Age again or all the small things? Yeah. But I want like Alien or Adam's song. Oh, Adams. Can you play? Is Adam song in the system? Let me have a love. I'd love to just hear the hook of that.
Starting point is 00:03:42 That's such a sad, beautiful song. You're just the ones that you don't. Don't waste your time. For me, I'm already. Is that good Adam? I don't care of days. Days when I still fell to light. Oh, come to get up.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Side the world. Why do you live the truth? I don't care. I'll leave it in a couple of weeks. Play the songs. Come at me, Jack Honeybone music director. I don't even care. Oh, my God, this is a tune.
Starting point is 00:04:17 The Clint Migg and Dan podcast. What a song. What a song. What is it about, actually? Yeah. Oh, gosh. What is it about, actually? It's about a guy called Adam
Starting point is 00:04:26 who struggles with his mental health. Oh, yeah. That's a real thing for a band like Blink 182 to talk about it. It's true, and I remember at the time, like... Groundbreaking. Totally, and suicide wasn't something that was spoken about back then. This was like, you know, 25 years ago. I remember being groundbreaking, so good on them.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Speaking of groundbreaking, actually, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson's sister. I don't know about this, Dan. You said this to me, and I thought she's been spoken to something. Wow. Oh, I thought, I think her family are maybe a bunch of liars. It's been a few little white lies told in the Jackson household. So this was on my feed last night, and maybe it's, I don't know, maybe she's been called out and the facts have been checked.
Starting point is 00:05:09 But this is her on a radio show just recently talking about who she and her brother, Michael Jackson, are related to. Stevie Wonder. Now, someone told me this earlier. Are you related to Stevie? He's our cousin. How have I gone that long in life without? Not a lot of people know that.
Starting point is 00:05:23 He's our cousins. on my mother's side. That's blown in my mind. So is Tracy Chapman. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. So, can we go through the family tree? So is Samuel Jackson. So Stevie, it is what to you?
Starting point is 00:05:36 My cousin. Tracy Chapman. Cousin. Samuel Jackson. He would be a cousin, too. I mean, he's not my brother. Right, yeah, fine. But yes.
Starting point is 00:05:45 I never knew. She sounds like Michael Jackson as well, eh? Like, they all sound the same. Well, lying. Oh, you mean, just the tone of boys? Well, both. So apparently... He says, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson,
Starting point is 00:05:56 Jenna Jackson, are no... Aren't blood related. And anyway... So why is she lying about it? No, the caption here, so for those wondering how they're related, one of Janet Jackson's eight great-great-great-grandmothers was a sister of one of Stevie Wonder's four great-great-grandmothers. So, in fact, it's Janet's mother, Catherine,
Starting point is 00:06:15 who is a third cousin of Stevie Wonder. Janet is a fourth cousin to Stevie's children. and each one of us has around 2,000 fourth cousins. Right, so they're not really cousins. Like, this is third cousins of that. Oh, yeah, but it was the last time you saw your third or fourth cousins. I'm Lebanese, man. We see our third, fourth, fifth, when we're very close with them or give them lots of money for their women.
Starting point is 00:06:38 I hardly see my normal cousins. I think Dad used to tell us that Tane Randall, like the old All Blacks captain from back in the day. He's like, that's your third or fourth cousin. Never met him in my life. You look a bit like Tane Randall, and he's got the... the last name, same last name. In my family, they were all men. So it's been men like, they had sons for generations and
Starting point is 00:06:55 generations, which means that people with my surname in Australia were all, like, the Lebanese were all related. So I have got like, probably 200 cousins that I, like, literally know, and their surname is the same as mine. And one of them, who's quite a close relation, was on
Starting point is 00:07:11 Real Housewives of Sydney. Oh. I know. And people like, you're not. Is she rich? Yes. Yeah. She was rich from her dad. she married a rich guy. That's a little relation you want as a rich relation. She's a legend. I love how all of these like Samuel L. Jackson, Tracy Chapman and stuff,
Starting point is 00:07:28 are all like, oh, no, no, no, no. We don't want to be able to be. No, no, no. Just because we have the same last thing that does not make us related. Come on, he doesn't want to be related to the Jackson. He's like, chat, chippy tea, guys. It's not true. It's just one of such a weird flex on a radio show.
Starting point is 00:07:41 That's like me going on some radio show and saying I'm related to Blumen Tony Street or something. And she was so like a cousin. Let's say fourth cousin, babe. I went on a tour with Janet Jackson once for Friday, whatever it's called. And every time she walked anywhere, we all had to put our phones away. A man went ahead of her.
Starting point is 00:07:57 It went, phones down, phones down, phones down, just so she could walk past. Also, Jenna just doesn't need to flex. She's Janet Jackson. Like, she doesn't need to be going on about how she knows Tracy Chapman. Like, who cares? I think she does need to flex.
Starting point is 00:08:09 She's been a bit out of the loop for a while. The last good thing she did was when she flashed her boob, remember? Oh, gosh. You can't say that. Together again's a jam. She also didn't flash it I think Justin Timberlake ripped Oh that was planned
Starting point is 00:08:23 Hashtag believe women That was planned That was a wardrobe malfunction No it wasn't There's no way The end of her top of her bra Like part of her bra comes off as well It doesn't happen
Starting point is 00:08:33 Yeah and it coincidentally happened Right when the fireworks shut up And the show was over It was such a BMA planned moment When I was Super Bowl wasn't it Oh come on plan They couldn't even get over that now What were they thinking
Starting point is 00:08:46 And they'll just be like, we say it was an accident It's like, yeah, but why do we believe that? Now we don't believe anything. They're still talking about it like 20 years later. Yeah, it's actually crazy. You're going to lose you, you're mine. It's such a shame that we can't truly enjoy it. No, no, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I felt bad even saying it. Clint McGu-Den-Dain. Lesh-co. Clit megan Dan with Ashlandland. Scandal. Oh, we've caught him. We knew we would. This is how good the broadcaster Ashes.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Me a minute ago, Clint, three minutes ago, she didn't have a scandal. Then she had three options during that song for us. I got prepared last night. I just forgot to then look at my notes. Right. No, I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:32 I don't believe it. So yesterday on the show we talked about jelly roll. You ain't nothing but a lot. We can't go to the show, didn't he? Mm-hmm. And we were saying, I think Neepier brought the intel. He was like, oh, I've got a friend who's got a friend who told me that he never even made it to New Zealand
Starting point is 00:09:48 before he cancelled his show because he cancelled the show now before he's due to go on stage So he's in Australia before right He was doing shows there Yes and if we go to Australia We've all, you know I've been there obviously I'm from there
Starting point is 00:09:57 You've got to be the airport two hours before You've then got a three Three and a half hour flight And then I would imagine If you're going to do a concert You want to give yourself maybe Five hours leeway for delays Get to the Year
Starting point is 00:10:09 So really Let's say 11 hours before the show You kind of need to be making your way to the airport at the very least. At least. Well, paparazzi footage has emerged of him sunning himself on the balcony in Sydney mere hours before the show was due to start.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Oh my God, so he cancelled the show while he was in Sydney. He was in another country. Which is so crap because if you're, like, I understand if you turn around in 11 hours before then, I'm not going to make it. Maybe the people of Christchurch or Wellington and wherever everyone's flown around from.
Starting point is 00:10:40 It's still too late maybe for some of them. But people have like Auckland to a driving from Hamilton or whatever, they easily could have made new plans. He was at his hotel while people were getting ready to go to the concert, in it out of the country let's say. There would have been people probably getting on a plane and flying from Christchurch
Starting point is 00:10:57 that would have loved the intel that he was not going to be perform and said he just didn't, he ignored them. And here's the thing, audiences are pretty forgiving these days about cancellations. I think post-COVID we kind of understand more than ever that celebrities are real people, shit happens.
Starting point is 00:11:12 They've got mental health issues just like the rest of us and So if they can't take the sage, fine. And I did find this audio from this week for Mama Me's No Filtert with an Australian podcast. He's talking with Kate Langbrook, my absolute hero, about the fact that he wasn't mentally, physically in a great place dealing with being so far away from home. What do you do when you're travelling? So what do you do with the mind?
Starting point is 00:11:33 Oh, it's a bad week to ask me. I'm falling apart. Oh, are you? Yeah, I'm doing the worst mentally. I've done it a long time. Why do you think? Because you're away from money or... I'm really far from home.
Starting point is 00:11:42 And it's really hitting me that I'm really far. far from home, like in an anxious way. Right. That, um, and, uh, probably this is no filter, right? Yeah, no filter. This trip over here, I f***ed my stomach up. Oh. And I mean, it f***ed my stomach up.
Starting point is 00:11:57 That's all fair. Absolutely fair. I'm the same. When I travel, I get super anxious now that I'm a mom. I hate being away. The whole time I'm away, I just feel sick. I want to go home. I feel yuck.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Totally understand. Like I said, I think people would have been really forgiving. My, I, yes and no. You know what? It would have affected my name. mental health if I'd taken my whole family from down country up to Auckland and then figured out that an hour before the
Starting point is 00:12:20 concert it was cancelled. So I sort of don't have any sympathy there. I know. And there would have been so many people of working for the label, working for the promoter, the venue who all would have been so put out, they're the ones that have to bear the brunt of it. I really feel for them. Do you know what I think the difference is? If he was sitting in an Auckland hotel and thought
Starting point is 00:12:36 I'm going to do it, I can do it, I can do it, and then in an hour before it was like, I can't do it. Fine. But when you're in another country, you knew you couldn't do it so much earlier than you told me. He had no intention. I believe he had no intention of doing that concert. It's a tough one. Like I said, a lot of people that work for the people that would have been just so put out and like, come on, I'm sure that we're trying desperately to like, come on, we need to make the call, we need to make the call. Is it, you know. I live near Western Springs where he was going to do the concert and I saw, like, in the days leading up, trucks coming in and cranes and all these guys sitting up the stage and whatever. There's got to be some sort of like discount like thing where they're going to.
Starting point is 00:13:14 can be like, is there an artist in New Zealand that wants to play a gig next weekend? All the rigging set up. Like a Cassie Inneson or something just takes the stage. Kaley Bell's like, oh no it. Yeah, and even just maybe Auckland Council puts on like a free gig because it's already set up. Yeah, but then as I said yes they don't get their insurance money.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Because producer Nipia, you'd sign me up free, available, no dramas. See you there. Hey, you've got a new album out as well. Oh, come on. Don't do a couple of Ricky Martin covers. Yeah. Like that, da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Oh, come and do defying gravity or something.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Oh my God. Do you do like some sort of fun thing. Bring back MCDC for a night, I reckon. They'll be able to fill the stage. Now, now we're talking. Now we're talking. I'd be devastated if you did that without me again. Just like, we need BBs, but maybe a backup dancing.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Oh, yes. You could be like that slutty. Oh, my God. We need some slutty dancers. Yeah, we too. I'm going to show you a video off air. We did some Fano dancing yesterday, and Buddy did the sluggiest stripper moves you've ever seen. And I was like, what the heck?
Starting point is 00:14:12 Adrian, have you been watching Magic Mike? I'm out. Which one does he take after you or me, Adrian? The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Time for our first call of the day, 0-800-the-edge. We'll sue you out with coffee for the rest of the week. First call of the day. First call of the day.
Starting point is 00:14:28 The person that we were going to have on has just dropped off. Oh, no. Which means we've got a free line. You can call 0-800-the-edge. We'll talk to anyone. We really will. I mean, we were talking about the person that's lost three KGs in 10 weeks. And it does sound like it's not much, really.
Starting point is 00:14:43 but I think you were saying, Clint, when it's meaningful weight loss like that. Yeah, I think it's, well, the theory is if it's slow and consistent, you have a better chance of keeping the weight off than if it's very fast and rapid and you do something like five kilos in four weeks. I mean it, though, drinking all this water, it's got my digestive system going. I feel so much better. I'm eating less. Not that I'm telling people to eat less, but I was snacking all day.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Yeah. And now I'm like, I wasn't hungry. I was thirsty. It's the worst thing to do. I eat mealmates like they're going out of fashion. What's meal mates? They're like little crackers. Crackers are my vice.
Starting point is 00:15:19 They were a cracker like the people used to eat 15, 20 years ago. They must be the only one keeping them afloat. Like a savoury cracker. I have like eight cheese and crackers about mid-afternoon 3pm. There's nothing like cheese on a Jets. My favourite thing. There was like an ad. It was like have a meal mate, mate, mate.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Yeah. Mielmates are my mate. I haven't seen that ad. That could feature in the Gen Z quiz. That's how old of us. It's back on the line. That's why I can sit talking about mealmates. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Alec. Are you a meal mate fan? Good morning. Do you remember millmates? I'm not. No. See, doesn't you remember them. That's how young Alec is.
Starting point is 00:15:55 That's how old these crackers are. How old are you, Alec? I'm 19. He's a child. Alec, how does it feel to be 19 years old in 2025? When you look at the world that feels like it's kind of dying in the ass, do you feel good or do you feel a bit scared? I kind of feel scared for my children.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Fair call, man. Oh, yeah. What do you do for a job, Alec? I'm a truck driver. Oh, nice. Here we go. Okay, we'll just sit back and let you and Dan talk about your truck. You and me, God.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Do you both drive big rigs? Are we more of a sort of medium truck guy? No, I just started driving the trucks. Okay. I didn't know 19-year-olds could drive big-ass trucks. Yeah. Has it got a good horn on it? Because we could always bring this back.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Horn voice. Do you want to give us a big, bum, brum, brum. I can, but I think my swift is louder. Your swift has a louder horn than your truck. You're Suzuki Swift, hilarious. Wow, okay. Amazing. Give us a tote.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Okay, well, let me open my window a bit. Oh, yeah, that's pathetic. Yeah, you need a few more years on the rinks before they give you the big ones, the best. Are you delivering? What are you doing with your truck? Yeah, I'm actually on my way down to Raglan from Auckland. Okay, this is weird because this morning I was with producer Carl. I was just talking about Raglan in the kitchen making coffee.
Starting point is 00:17:15 He's talking about how great a town it is. Beautiful part of the country, Raglan. Do you get to, like, stay there long, Alec, or is it like drop it off and straight back? Drop it off and straight back. Have a gelato, though. If a gelato stall is open today, Alex, some of the best gelato I've ever had.
Starting point is 00:17:29 That's such a non-truck driver thing to do. Hey, truck drivers like gelato. Do you like gelato, Alec? I love gelato. No, no. Somewhere in Poconos, there's like a 12 scoop store. Oh, Pocino. Do they still do the giant ice cream?
Starting point is 00:17:42 When we were kids, we're obsessed with going there, and it would be like, yeah, 12 scoops for like three bucks or something. And then they put it in a highway that bypassed it. And so it was almost like, you know, in cars, Route 66, no one goes through anymore. Well, thanks for calling through, Ale. I can maybe get a better horn and call again next week. Oh, Jesse.
Starting point is 00:18:03 He's going to pull over a super cheap water or whatever. Super cheap water. Yeah, like one of those. You know what, we've awoken the mealmate fraternors here as well. People are texting through going, I have mealmates every day. Mealmates. Good on you, in fact, Kat. Mealmates, you have them every day.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Every day. Yeah, good on you. Are you raw dogging them or are you putting something, something on the top of your mealmates? Oh, tuna, smoke tuna, the Seelord one. Oh, you and Clint can be friends. That's like he does every day in the studio. This is a me flavor, though, not the plain one. Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:18:38 What about you, Danny, you raw dogging your mate? I quite often just have it by the baby a bit of cheese on them They're all right Yeah Delicious All right naughty 640's next On the edge

I think it's more now when you go if you go unexpectedly. If I go right Dan, in the walking wardrobe right up high there's like a black
Starting point is 00:19:50 drawstring bag. On the right hand side. Mine's a canvas also in the walk in wardrobe canvas. Like a duffer bag kind of vibe. Normally right up high because you know when in kids, what are these? Well it depends if you pass the way on your own I think it's fine because your partner, I don't know he knows where they are
Starting point is 00:20:06 but it's if we go together Yeah, you need to let someone into your circle Clint has asked me about if he dies He said, I need to turn up with a big van though It's a big bag apparently Maybe we can get Alec on the truck driver Don't show up with your key, mate You'll be doing multiple trips
Starting point is 00:20:22 That's not all going to fit Have you put the seats down? Yeah, it's still not going to fit I guess it's the same with any sexy photos You might have on your phone Like eventually The first thing if you pass away Someone is going to turn on your phone.
Starting point is 00:20:37 phone, I guess. I'm hoping they don't. I don't really have anything dodgy, but Hidden folder? You definitely would have photos of your wife somewhere on your phone, I would imagine. Nah, I don't. I'm such a, like, when it comes to that world, I don't even have really any toys at home. Yet he's having more sex than both of us.
Starting point is 00:20:53 I don't, yeah, because I just know, who needs it when you got the, anyway? When you've got the rib-eye at home and you're partaking daily. Exactly, yeah, but I don't, I'm just so not adventurous. I wish I was, to be on. I wish I had a duffel bag in my... But if you're happy and fulfilled, who cares. Yeah, maybe it's a world, like, you don't know how fun Rainbow's End is until you go to Rainbow's End.
Starting point is 00:21:14 But who needs Rainbow's End when you've got a slide in your backyard? There you go, you don't have to buy that admission fee, you can just any time you want it. The slide is great. Until you go on the log flume and then you realize, huh, slide kind of sucks at home now. Who needs a log flume when you've got logs at home? You know? It's weird now, we're getting weird. I'm just trying to say that my house.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Good on you, Dan. Yeah. You're a lucky man I mean I guess my point is If you've tried it and it wasn't for you Fine but if you never tried it Then how do you know But then you've got to think of this contingency plan
Starting point is 00:21:47 Who would you get seriously? I was going to say I'd probably get you Dan But then I'd know you'd show everybody You go look at all this stuff I got from Clint's I'll go on the next day What even is that for? I know he only died a couple of days ago We're all still mourning
Starting point is 00:22:01 But look how big this thing is Yeah, definitely not, Dan. No. No one has a plan, right? No one does. I get Meg because I know that she would have a look, have a laugh, show guy, have a laugh, but I know she'd be a vault after that. Because I don't trust you guys, you'd be too tempted to just be like,
Starting point is 00:22:20 you're never going to, because you love a story too much. Yeah. And you've got to fill some breaks on the radio somehow. It's what Ash would have wanted. She would have wanted to still be laughing with her. Auction them off publicly. Yeah, yeah. It's for charity. It's for charity.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Give me, call the ones, Ash's duffel bag. Clint, Megan Dan. I want to give a special shout out on air today because it does feel lately like there's so much to be bummed about in the world. You know, there's so much hatred and division, and every now and then something happens that makes you think, ah, we really are all in this together. There are good people around in the world.
Starting point is 00:22:53 We're going to be okay. So my son, buddies, four years old, and he loves Octanauts. And in Octanauts, one of the characters has a spy glass. This is like a TV show. Yeah, it's a kids' TV show about sea creatures. And the spyglass is like a wooden, extendable looking glass sort of thing that, like, you'd use from the deck of a boat. Yeah, pirates use them, eh, to see the enemies.
Starting point is 00:23:14 So Calico Jack has one, a golden spyglass. And Buddy is just obsessed with making spy glasses. So we started out making them out of paper. Then we went to cardboard and that wasn't good enough. Then we tried with Lego. I wasn't quite right. And we tried with clay. And he was like, just desperate for a golden glass.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Just buy one, mum. Yeah. Man, can't you afford a spiglass? First of all, you can't buy them because octonauts are so old. But second of all, I wanted to buy it. So I promised him, I'm going to pick you up from Kendi tomorrow. We're going to go to Bunnings, and we're going to figure it out together. And arts and crafts is not my strong suit, but I was like, the power of motherhood will come upon me.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Good on you. Thank you. So pick him up. First thing he says when I arrive at candy, are we going to Bunnings to make the golden spike glass? I said, yes, kid, are we are. Did you do that thing where you thought hoped he'd forget. Forget it. They never forgeting.
Starting point is 00:23:56 They never forgeting. So we get to Bunnings. I'm really, like, out of my depth, but I'm like, I can do this. So we go to, like, one of the aisles, and I find this, I don't even know what they are. It's like, is MDF kind of plastic-y? You have some water, okay, it was like a plastic. I guess it was like some sort of, like, you. Anyway, it's like a plastic tube, let's say.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Like, I guess what plumbers would use maybe? So it's like a plus long-ass, a metre and a half, and I got a small one, diameter, and then a big one because they went inside each other, so you can, like, pull it out. And then I got kind of a stopper. And I was like, okay, this is going to work. And then I went down to the trade desk, and I said, I know you're not supposed to do this, but it's possible for you to saw it shorter.
Starting point is 00:24:37 He's like, oh, and then, but he's like, it's for my spy glass. And the guy's like, he's never going to say no. He's like, okay, so he gets a hand, sore out. And he's kind of doing it, but struggling a bit. And then my knight in shining armour comes along. He's just a dude. He goes, oh, let me give your hand, mate.
Starting point is 00:24:50 So he's holding it for the guy while they saw it, helping him do the measurements. Is this guy just like a random? At first I thought he worked at Bunnings. Yeah. Then I realised, no, he's just a dude. What a guy. What a guy.
Starting point is 00:25:01 He helps cut it and everything. I'm like, thank you boys. Buddy, say thank you. And then this guy goes, mate, you need to glue your stopper on because like the stopper that went on the edge of it to stop them from, like, it's kind of like where you look, exactly. And he goes, come over to me truck.
Starting point is 00:25:15 So he walks us over, opens up his truck, goes through his thing, gets some glue, bends down, attaches it for glues, buddy's standing there like, this guy's, like our hero. and I'm like, thank you, thank you so much, man. That's so lovely. I mean, he was just like, oh, it's nothing. So then I looked on his truck,
Starting point is 00:25:33 and it was all things plumbing and gas limited. I've looked them up on girls. They've got very good Google reviews, and they're based in Auckland. His name was Simon. So I just want to say, Simon, if you're listening, thank you. You made our day, because I would not have known
Starting point is 00:25:49 how to glue that thing on. I would have used super glue and probably glued my fingers together. But he was so happy. We went home. We sprayed his. spyglass gold. He was like losing his mind. And we've made this thing. And so thanks to the guy at Bunnings' Trade Desk. Thank you, Simon, from all things plumbing and gas. They made humanity,
Starting point is 00:26:07 faith in humanity restored. Clint, what are the chances that Simon was hoping that Batty's mum was single? Yeah, or... Well, it wouldn't be because afterwards I said to him, I said, mate, thank you so much. I work on the edge break you, I'm going to give you a shout at tomorrow. And he's like, oh, yeah, don't you do that. And then a minute later he goes, are you Ash? And I was like, what is a feed? Listen to the edge. I reckon he was...
Starting point is 00:26:28 He was like, what are you doing tonight? If I see you doing a sponsored post for this plumbing guest and company next week, I'm like, wow, the long game. I've actually never looked worse. It was, you know, when you're like, picked your kid up from Kendi and you look so disgusting that you're like, I hope I see no one I know because it was bad. Can't relate, eh, Dan?
Starting point is 00:26:46 No, I can't relate. So, yeah, look, if you have the opportunity to help someone in your day, like little things like that, it took him one minute, but it made our day of our day. I still feel good about it so it's just nice to do good things and if you need some plumbing again what's the company?
Starting point is 00:27:01 All things are plumbing and gas morning side or clean dust for Simon it will give you a good deal Yeah I'll just say Ash 20 at checkout It's the standard joke The old Ash 20
Starting point is 00:27:13 Hey you just It's just worth it if you don't have a coupon Ash 20 just see I reckon just see she's got most She's got her fingers in a lot of pies You never know It's either Ash 20 or Clint 20 Clint Megan Dan

We do a lot of stuff with Novice. Yeah, they're good, aren't they? Yeah, bloody good to us. Coming up next, if you have left your Christmas shopping, you haven't even started it yet,
Starting point is 00:29:45 I have got the best stocking filler for the man in your life. Oh no, Dan, is this the thing you got scammed? It's not a scam. This is I think probably one of the best inventions since the iPhone. No, he's scam. Genuinely.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Such a scam. Incredible. I'm intrigued. I can't wait to hear. It's sun smart and fashionable. Oh, I love it already. You know what people say take my money? What's the opposite?
Starting point is 00:30:05 Hide my credit card? Yeah. Yeah. Clint's always going to be a hater. He's a negative Nancy. Trust me, he got scammed. All right, Dan's going to tell us how he got scammed. It's not a scam. In any way, shape or form.
Starting point is 00:30:17 I'm a guy. We've talked about a little bit on the show about how I like a rash shirt. Okay. A rashy? Well, no. Yeah, rash at the beach. And we're talking about. traditional rashy, you know, it's like a sort of
Starting point is 00:30:27 a fabric that's a bit stretchy, you've stretched it on over your body. They're so un-intractive. Exactly. I've found the perfect alternative, and it's funny you say they're rashy because this is the brand. They're called Rashy and they're like a button-up shirt. Okay, now, yes, the thing is...
Starting point is 00:30:44 Don't laugh. Darling, darling. There's no way that this is remotely... Don't lead the witness. I don't need to be there. I've gotten up rashy I'll give you the floor to continue trying to defend it.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Thank you at last. So here is a little bit of the ad that I was served on Instagram which made me go maybe this is a perfect gift. Okay. You're going to look like an idiot because there's going to be people listening
Starting point is 00:31:15 that are going, a rash shirt, okay? And let's not laugh at suns safety. Okay, because there's nothing funny about melanoma. So let's play a little bit of the ad. that I've got, or have you not got it. Is it called a nashy? Yes, it's called a nashy.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Oh, you said rashy? Well, there's two different. There's two different brands. Teach the rashy and nashy. I'm looking at photos of it. They come in different colours. Oh, my gosh. This is the lamest thing I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Ash. Darling. They come in different colors, different sizes. They button up. And so you can go into the water and you look like, what's going on? Well, the audio is not later. I was going to play it from Instagram. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Well, look, it doesn't matter. No, I want to hear it. I want to hear it. Here we go. Shirt this festive season, consider a Nashy. This isn't just a shirt. It's also a UPF 50 plus fast drying, lightweight rash fest. It can be worn for all occasions, and you can grab him one today at the nashy.com. It's like wearing a shirt this festive season.
Starting point is 00:32:12 It's just like a dress shirt in the ocean. And then they go, it dries. Yeah, like most clothes, eventually. And all the ads for, they're wearing it dry. When that thing gets wet and it's just clinging to your bits and pieces, Look up some videos of it. People go into the water, they're surfing in it. They're doing like breaststroke.
Starting point is 00:32:29 They're doing all different types. You jet ski and Clint, that's your type of stuff. It would look like a guy fell off a boat and he was like, and he's swimming in the clothes that he was wearing. For the first two minutes and then it says in the sun, direct sunlight it dries in five minutes. So you get out of the water. You look a bit wet when you first get out, but it dries very, very quickly.
Starting point is 00:32:47 I just don't know what the point is. Sunsmart. Yeah, but rushies do that. No, but you don't look cool. a rashy. I know haters are going to hate, but there's Pete. Dan wants to look formal when he's swimming. No, here's the thing. It's not a formal shirt. It's like more of like a
Starting point is 00:33:01 summery, casual vibe. You can get green ones, blue ones, stripy. I like the blue ones. Is it for when you want to make business deals in the ocean? You could do that if you want it is. Yeah. Well, fellas, why do we go for a dip and sign these contracts? It's not a business shirt. You know Clint, you know, it's like a summary
Starting point is 00:33:17 button up shirt. Well, there are long sleeve ones which definitely look like business shim. I mean, that is a business shirt. Couplings are extra So if you want to get one Just search Nashy No one's gonna want one time They're very
Starting point is 00:33:33 I've ordered two I do risk First of all We're about to shut down the company And they're like wait We've had another order We've had two Wow I didn't think that you guys would be haters
Starting point is 00:33:44 I'm all for Sunsmart Well it doesn't sound like it Ash to be honest It sounds like you're laughing Just commit to a rashy Don't try and make something that's not cool cool Some things in life just aren't cool I need to see you wakeboarding and a dress shirt I don't waitboard, Clint.
Starting point is 00:33:58 I would pay money to see you in one of these walking out of the ocean and everyone looking like oh god that guy who brings a shirt in the ocean because it just looks like you hate your body so much that you're just going to wear your day shirt in the water. Look, I would wear it into the ocean happily.
Starting point is 00:34:16 And then Dan, five minutes later if people were still there, you'll be the one laughing because it'll be dry as a bone. Look, once it arrives, it says it's going to take six weeks shipping It's a long time from Australia But when I get it, I'll wear it in Someone's swimming in here And I reckon
Starting point is 00:34:30 Yeah, probably I'll dry off as soon as he hits the shore Once it gets here, I'll wear it in And you won't know that I've got it on, I reckon It's so shiny that when you walk in, I'll be landed Yeah, when I walk in you'll be like Oh, that's nice shirt, I'll be like, hmm, interesting, you say that Let's do, when were you in Instafluenced?
Starting point is 00:34:46 Yes and then it's amazing, or in Dan's situation, it rocks up six weeks later. You're like, damn it, I'm absolutely scams. So you tell us what it is, and we'll tell you whether it was a scam or a win. Yeah, but you guys are clearly not great judges of scams or not. If we could leave it to Dan. Yeah, I'll be the judge. And I'll be very positive.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Oh, eight under the edge. We want to know if you've been instaffluenced. We've been hit with a lot of ads at the moment in the lead up to Christmas, and sometimes you win, but most times you fail. Do you know what I got served up and bought? It's a mat that's an acupressure mat And it's got like hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of spikes on it Oh like a Shakti
Starting point is 00:35:26 And I got it not cheap What do you reckon win or fail? Oh God I've failed I got a Shakti years ago And there I have I reckon Yeah I changed my life Really?
Starting point is 00:35:38 Mad for the Shakti I'm mad for it I bought another one It was so good that I bought the hardcore one Because you can get like levels of fame I've got one it's almost like You know when you're a kid and you get a piece of fabric
Starting point is 00:35:49 and wrap it around your head, like karate kid. It's like that, but it's got spikes on the inside so it spikes your forehead all the way around. It's meant to be... What are they supposed to do? Relive, stress or something?
Starting point is 00:35:59 Yeah, it's good for, like, acupressures. All the different points in your body that's, like, inflammation and stress... It really does make me feel better afterwards. It's like stress-wise, but it may just be a placebo, in which case, who cares? I bought this, like, shot dispenser,
Starting point is 00:36:11 and you, like, pour alcohol into the top, and then you put the little six shot glasses around the outside, and then you lift the lid, and then it just dispense it all evenly into everyone's like shot glasses. But it is such a fun, a feeling to pour shots. Someone's textory saying that they purchased the gun
Starting point is 00:36:26 that shoots salt for killing flies. Is that a good thing? Because I've seen that. What do you mean? I used mine yesterday. We use it over the summer all the time. It's like a shotgun, like a pump action shotgun filled with salt and you go up to a fly,
Starting point is 00:36:38 15, 20 centimetres way and just boom and just watch them go fly. Like salt water or just salt? No, just salt, granules. Oh, and does it kill them? Yeah. Really? Yeah, if you put it too close, you'll end up creating a bit of a mess.
Starting point is 00:36:51 This is perfect for if you've got to, my wife. I need to vacuum up the salt. Because we just keep our fruit on like the bench at home. We don't have like a bowl, but someone said there's a banana hammock. It's a miniature hammock that holds bananas. That's a waste of money, isn't it? That's an interesting type of thing. I keep all my fruit in the fridge.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Otherwise, you get flies and goes old. Yeah. I mean, there's so many things. You're right, Clint, I think, when it's floating around this time of year, they're trying to get you. Someone has texted through all this, and ash, It's called the bug assault rifle. That's funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Got on your hater. Blake or Bakes texted through and said, mate, you're just a victim. This is to you, Daniel, to being drop shipped. Oh, yeah, this is because I was talking about the nashy. It's the rash shirt of a button-up shirt variety. So you can go into the water and look like you're the business, you know, while you're in there.
Starting point is 00:37:36 And then it dries in five minutes. So what's drop-shipped, though? What is the thing you being drop-shipped? So it's like drop-shipping is where you sell on behalf of something that's already been made. So it might be a mass-produced item in China. I had a friend that was selling like pet beds. They were mass produced in China and you just market them really well
Starting point is 00:37:52 and then order as many as you want. And then resell them for three times as much. Someone else bought a small metal crossbow that shoots toothpicks. That sounds like a... That sounds waste of money. Someone has bought a roll of for rectal use only stickers.
Starting point is 00:38:10 That's Carl. And they just go around and put them on. Goodness sake. For rectal use only. That is producer Carl Tort Tee. That is probably producing Carl's Like a secret sander gift And he'd be like, how
Starting point is 00:38:21 The greatest gift does not exist Oh my God You need to go and stick it on Clint's bug gun Yeah, secret gift to myself Yeah Yeah, people are like, I want to need a salt gun Honestly, in the lead up to Christmas It's actually a great gift
Starting point is 00:38:33 I'm gonna get it up So you have to be like 20 centimetres away from the fly though I feel like it'd be better if you're a bit further Like a sniper Yeah, sure But I mean they honestly don't freak out When you're 20 centimetre away Yeah
Starting point is 00:38:43 So did you just put table salt in it Yeah, yeah I mean I just don't understand. If you go around and if I let off like 12 rounds like over peak summer and I'll like hit 12 of them in the space of two or three minutes, you will go around feeling the crunch underfoot.
Starting point is 00:38:57 So it does kill them and just fly away? No, I don't waste them. How does it kill them? Salt. Death by salt. Well like if I put a shotgun round into you, you wouldn't be doing well. I guess it's the equivalent. And there's no toxins which I love.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Yeah. So I don't like using fly spray. If you get too close to the fly, it will literally like, it'll put its blood everywhere. I'm getting one. So you've got to make sure you get the right distance because if you're too far away,
Starting point is 00:39:22 it'll just kind of stun it. Disciate, yeah. And then you get too close and it's like, yeah, it's a... $100, nah. That's it you could get too nashies for that. I tell you what, when you've got flies laying in all over your food
Starting point is 00:39:32 and all the rest of it and you'd pay twice that. It's bugger salt.com. Yeah, I think it's a Kiwi company. My husband could use his favorite joke whenever I say past the sword, He goes, that's a salt, brother. He's his favorite.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Why isn't he on radio? He's funny. Clint Migg and Dan. Gossip and Entertainment. Clint Migg and Dan with Ash London. Scandal. So we talked about this a second ago, I kind of gave me a bit of a tease.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Orlando Bloom's got a supposed apparent maybe new girlfriend. She's an actress that I've never heard of. And name is Rachel Lynn Matthews. So the Halloween dressups have just kind of emerged. Maybe they thought the pictures weren't going to surface and they've ended up on someone's Instagram. But the first picture is this girl. She's got like a black wig on, long wig with the centre part, like Katie Perry.
Starting point is 00:40:24 And people could kind of see a bit of a blue, maybe like a onesie. She was bringing a latex, you know. People are like, is she trying to be Katie? We're not sure. We'll give her the benefit of the doubt. A couple days later, full body picks emerge of his supposed new girlfriend in a latex blue bodysuit and a wig looking exactly like Katie Perry on her space trip. and she's bent over kissing the ground
Starting point is 00:40:45 just like Katie Perry Don't when she got off the thing. So cringe. It comes across of it petty, eh? Especially from Orlando Bloom like your new girlfriend the last thing you dress up is your ex. I know because it would be so funny.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Unless he's into that. It would be so funny if she wasn't dating Orlando Bloom. Like if she's just a normal person, funny, yeah. Funny. Yeah. Not hurting anyone. When you're dating or...
Starting point is 00:41:07 Cringe. Yeah. Unless they were just at the same party and got a photo together and now people are like, this girlfriend, which is. entirely possible. And apparently as well,
Starting point is 00:41:15 I don't know if this is true, but the rumour is that he got the ick from Katie Perry, Orlando Bloom, I'm talking about when she went to space. Quite highly possible, actually. Yeah, because of the whole, like, how she was kind of acting around the whole thing. My whole life has changed.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Yeah. And staring into the camera with the daisy. Anyway, more power to her. The next one I want to talk about is Cynthia Arriva and Ariara Grande. So on the first press tour for Wicked, things got weird. There was lots of crying.
Starting point is 00:41:43 lots of holding like she held the finger and very emotional was it very emotional wasn't it? So they're on a red cupboard this week and it's just it looks like we're about to get round two of weirdness if you had to describe each other's aura what color would it be? That's a nice
Starting point is 00:41:59 question, an aura. Yellow for me? Sunshine yeah oh thank you and like also I think there's also purple that's very good I see like like a siel blue you know like aqua
Starting point is 00:42:15 Wow I'm so moved by that response They're taking a piss They must be I don't think they're definitely taking the piss Nah not based on the first press You know the holding space thing that happened In the first movie When they were doing the interview
Starting point is 00:42:28 Ariana Grande has come out and said that that was a whole Like she did not understand what was going on there She was on Graham Norton She's just confused Yeah so I think maybe I don't know I like to think that they're doing it on purpose now Taking the piss I think so
Starting point is 00:42:41 And what colour are our oras do you think? Dan's aura is like a blue aura. That's because I've got a blue hat on, isn't it? No, blue eyes. I cleanse like green. I get a green aura from her. I get like a fuchsia. What's fuchsia?
Starting point is 00:43:00 Like hot pink. Oh, yeah. What's my aura? Like a brownie. Yeah. A brown aura. Pooh brown. No, I want a poo brown aura.

Starting point is 00:45:33 Everybody would have them. That would have it. It would be a square. Is it like a Walkieman? A Walkman. A Wormman. I'm going to, walking men. Walking men.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Oh, darling, that is so sweet. Someone's texted her the best text ever as well. It's like a backhanded compliment. They've gone, ha-ha. Bella is a vibe, eh? She is a vibe. Yeah, you are a vibe. I love that.
Starting point is 00:45:57 You're a lot of vibe again, guys. That is. That's good. It's three and a half. I don't know if we'd give you walking men. Oh, they don't see walkman. Are you studying at home? No, I'm just...
Starting point is 00:46:06 Are you hanging out with more mature people? What's going on? Yeah, yeah, you're dating an older man. Oh, maybe? No. You'd heard of bananas and pajamas, though, I. I know what you have? I love it.
Starting point is 00:46:16 That's why I was like, you know, no, that was a drop ball, sorry. Hernandez and zim pajamas. What a song. All right, we love you still. What if I said, who is Ernie's partner in crime? Oh. Just say, just come on, say a name. Just say a Big Bird.
Starting point is 00:46:30 Big Bird and Ernie. Who are definitely homosexuals. Oh, shit. Yeah, we're going to be together and sharing a bedroom. We're trying some stuff. I don't know if that around. Yeah, they had a bubble baths they took together. Get it, boys.
Starting point is 00:46:44 All right. Clint megan. What does our ash have in common with contestants I'm married at first sight? It's when they first saw their partner, for the very first time they knew they were going to marry them. Yep. I was at the ARIA Awards,
Starting point is 00:47:01 which is the Australian Music Awards, and I was sitting there with my co-host at the time next to me, Angus. And then Veronica's are on stage Performing in red body glitter Beautiful, what a scene What a scene And there were two spare seats in our row And then our big boss arrives
Starting point is 00:47:17 A bit late with this guy with him And I'm like And I grabbed Angus's leg And I said, who's that? And he's like, that's DC He said, no, no, no, no, no, the guy with him And he said, that's A-B I said, introduce me, I'm going to marry him
Starting point is 00:47:30 Wait, okay, I need to know How many times prior to you saying there Had you seen a guy And gone, I'm going to marry him I got the ick from guys so easily and so quickly. So you'd never see that before. No, you were the type of person that just eventually it's going to be true because... No, I was off men, absolutely off men.
Starting point is 00:47:47 I had a horrible breakup and I decided my career is going to... I love my job so much. That's going to be my husband. I'll have a boyfriend maybe in the future but I'm not getting married. I'm just going to focus on it. And then he walked in and it was like... It wasn't like I looked at him and I was like, he's the sexiest man I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:48:04 I need to have sex. It was nothing like that. I was like, he's gorgeous. gorgeous, but I don't know if something happened. From the distance even, he wasn't even like having a conversation with someone next to you. He was probably like 20 metres away and then I texted my best friends from the seat before I'd even met him. I was zooming in, taking photos and I was like, I'm going to marry this guy. And so you definitely said if we called Angus now and he would say, nope, she said I'm going to marry him.
Starting point is 00:48:28 100,000 million percent. 20 meter distance. Hand on the leg, introduced me, I'm going to marry him. Okay, so then what happened after that? So you said you're going to marry him. Then how did it go from that to marrying it? Then we talked that night till like 3, 4 a.m. Wait, wait, what was the first conversation?
Starting point is 00:48:44 You're an awards thing. You're like, hey, I'm in. It was like, hi, hi, I'm Ash. Reaching over people. I'm going to marry you. And he knew who I was. A nightmare. He reckons he'd like had a purve before, but it was like,
Starting point is 00:48:53 nah, Ash, London's too cool for me, true. And, but I'd gone overseas since and then come back. Anyway, we chatted all night. He had a girlfriend and was so obvious to both of us that we were meant to be with each other. Oh, a dog. But we had to agree to not be, like, we can't really be friends. We can't contact each other.
Starting point is 00:49:12 The girl he was with said she was going to marry him as well. Yeah. She was like, I'm going to marry you one day. So they broke her. We weren't really in contact. We just saw each other at work when he'd come to town and I'd be like, heart in my throat. And then he just came down, came to Sydney for meeting.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Heart in my throat. He came to Sydney for meeting and he said, do you want to grab lunch? And I was like, yep, when I got a new house. outfit went to lunch i was like so excited for your trip overseas in a couple weeks he's like yeah but i'm excited but i'll be going by myself i was like oh why is that he's like oh because my girlfriend broke up and i was like kaching oh so sad for you and then he was like when i get back can i take you out on a date and then we went on our first date and never been and that's the story you two are sticking to hand on heart on my father's grave that's a lovely story even like
Starting point is 00:50:01 hold his hand before he was single yeah this is crazy Stacey, Stacey's text saying, I saw a guy at school, and I knew I'd marry him. Our wedding is in five months. I love that. I love that someone, I could never. I thought I could never too. Yeah, because I met my wife on Bumble, and then we obviously went on a date. And I went, I remember seeing her for the first time and going, she is too good for me.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Yeah. But never in a million years what I got, I'm going to marry you one day. I could maybe comprehend the idea that AB was sitting at your table, and you saw him conversing. with other people and you're like, oh my God, he's just captivating, he's intelligent. He was walking to get to his seat. Someone from a distance that you haven't, never even spoke to, that you find attractive,
Starting point is 00:50:45 but that's pretty much all you're working with. To know you're going to marry someone that's so crazy. What about if his personality was crap? No, here's the thing. I had heard from a lot of people over the years that there was this guy that worked in the Melbourne office called A.B., who was like an amazing mentor, everyone loved, great boss, beautiful.
Starting point is 00:51:04 But I thought, because of the way people spoke about him, I thought he was old. I thought he was like in his 60s. So I had background on this AB guy. And then when he said, that's AB, I was like, I don't. And for me, I think it was always had to be that way because I would get the ick so quickly. And I'd been so heartbroken, it needed to be an out-of-body magical thing.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Actually, if you do want to hear more about the love story, Ash wrote a book about it. Oh, your love on the air. She had to change his name. Oh, my gosh, great segue. And also, Wick Calls are doing a promo at the moment. and my book's on sale for $25. Has this all been just to set up for you to talk about how your book's on special?

You've got to read like so many pages. 3343 is the number to text, the word ash. If you want a link to get my book, Love on the air for 25 bucks on sale at Wickels. Because we're talking about your actual real life relationship
Starting point is 00:52:30 and how it was like love at first sight. It absolutely was. But literal, like, literal, like you said, you saw him, were like, I'm going to marry that guy. And I wouldn't have believed in it before that. I think most people, oh, they love at first sight. Yeah, like you were infatuated with them on your first day. I get that.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Yeah, and there has never been, and I'm hand on my hearts where are my dad's grave. There has not, I'm going to cry. There's not been a second sense that I have, like, not believed it. Like, from the second I laid, I was in, every day I look at him. I'm like, he's nice. Because he's our boss as well. Sometimes they bicker, and I'm like, oh, things are. We do not.
Starting point is 00:53:01 They do. We've never, we don't. We look lovingly, Becca, but you know that. We're very solid. You're very solid. I really love that for you. A beautiful couple. And I will say there's other people that have had the same sort of thing as you.
Starting point is 00:53:13 I love that for anyone. I mean, how good to just know straight away. I know. Brittany, good morning. Good morning. So you text just before saying you had an instant soulmate connection. Yes, yeah. I met my now husband on Tinder, and when I swiped on him,
Starting point is 00:53:31 I instantly was like, oh, my. my gosh, this guy, he's the one for me, like that. I just, like, my world shift and I just knew. So when you swiped on him, did you know you're a match at that point, or was it before you even matched? Oh, before we even matched. So, for context, we knew of each other. So I had, we'd never met in person,
Starting point is 00:53:52 but we grew up in the same city and we had, I guess, mutual friends. So I sort of knew who he was, and when he came up on my Tinder as being single, I was like, oh my gosh, like, I know that this is the guy. So I swiped right, and it was an instant match straight away. How long, Brittany, before you tell him that you knew he was the one? Because I imagine I could scare guys off if you tell him in the first couple of weeks. Especially on the dating apps. Well, it's quite funny.
Starting point is 00:54:20 So we, I like knew from that, like, match. And then we went on our first date, which was sort of, it was, we both sort of taught, brought a friend each. But we went to this place called the Jumping Rock and Rurduo. at one of the lakes and he'd already been jumping off and I walked up to him and he looks at me dead in the eye and says surely you're going to jump in
Starting point is 00:54:42 and I remember thinking oh my God I'm like jumping into love or jumping into my forever ha ha ha jump into the water and I remember coming up and I was like oh my God like my world has shifted Oh my gosh Wow
Starting point is 00:54:53 I never thought of the same way Well I was on I was pretty sure that it was that for him And later he said, you know, that was it like I knew it was when you straight away. But in our wedding boughs, we didn't talk to each other about our wedding boughs. He brought up the fact. He's like, I felt like I said to you, my first words were, oh, surely you're going to jump off this rock.
Starting point is 00:55:17 And I thought, oh, we're going to jump into love. And he brought it up in his wedding boughs. And so did I. And we hadn't even talked about our boughs. Oh, that is quite cute. Okay, great, because I was getting ready to play that. So I didn't need to actually. I could have gone either way.
Starting point is 00:55:32 No, it was beautiful. Isn't that nice? Should I be jealous of people like us? Hmm. He knew straight away. Caitlin's called to her. She's a first-time caller, guys. For the first time.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Oh, welcome. Love you. It's pretty good to have you. This happened to your mom, darling. Tell us. Yes, so back when my mom and my dad were living in Omaru, I think it was my dad was walking down the road and my mom spotted him.
Starting point is 00:55:58 And straight away, she told herself that she was going to marry him and it was so cute and they're now divorced which is a really sad evening but they had six kids together in a relatively happy marriage yeah that'll do it six kids will put pressure
Starting point is 00:56:14 on any good relationship I know I'll be surprised of us still together she gave a medal just for the amount of time they did last that that's a big thing to do to just go up to a random person in the street and go I'm going to marry you because a lot of people would get the ex straight away
Starting point is 00:56:29 Also, a lot of women are very single-minded when they get their claws into something They're like, I'm going to do it Kail, it'll give you the whole pass to the Running Man It's in cinemas on Thursday The Director of Baby Driver And it stars Glenn Powell Survive 30 days while the world hunts you down

Starting point is 00:56:55 Isn't there really? Totally, you know? Everyone's story is different but I do think that for certain people, like I needed to have the lightning bolt. You know what I've learned from this? Shoot your shot. Shoot it.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Shoes. It's too short, eh. With respect, shoot it. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to marry you. Let me a weirdo about it. Hey, I'm going to marry you one day. She's like, oh, get away from me.

Starting point is 00:59:00 Jesse, you're a champion. Have a great week, mate. Thanks, babe. Back again at 3 o'clock, your chance to play for a grand in the handle, thanks to Novice Glass. Proud partner of the Special Olympics. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Generally, it starts fights. We'll see if we can play nice this morning. Today we are doing partners of verified A-listers. Okay. So there are many couples in which one person is A all day, we know, but they're not got a partner. For instance, David Beckham, I think we can all agree as an A-listor. Sir David Beckham.
Starting point is 00:59:30 The question remains, what about Lady Victoria? Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham. That's a tricky one because I would argue that very few partners of A-listers are, also A's. Exactly. And Victoria would be one of those people. I'd put her at a B. Would you put the Spice Girls as a whole as an A? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:59:51 So the Spice Girls are an A. The Spice Girls are probably one of the most famous bands. They'd be up there with the Beatles. in terms of recognisability. But I feel like Posh Spice is an A because she's very, very famous outside of the Spice Girls. And also famous outside of being married to David Beckham. Like she already had her own star before she got with David,
Starting point is 01:00:13 but I think being a couple made them more famous together. I don't even think he'd be an A-Lister without her because I think together they were in the press for so long. I think being a Spice Girl and still like being as big as she, in the fashion world. She's got a Netflix docker that just drops a few weeks back. Because the other ones aren't A's. Your babies, your gingers, their Bs.
Starting point is 01:00:34 I think she's the only A-List B. I disagree. I think she's a B. I think she's very famous, but I don't think she's famous enough to be an A-List status. It's up there with Beyonce and Tom Cruise. First point of contention that we throw out to the people on 33-4-3. Victoria Beckham, A or B. I'm glad you mentioned Beyonce, a verified A-lister. The question is, Jay-Z.
Starting point is 01:00:54 A. I'm saying B. Oh my God I would put Jay Z in a That just shows you I put it Thank you James Z is a very He's probably the most famous rapper
Starting point is 01:01:06 No he isn't He'd be up there with Tupacac Named three JZ songs Thank you No no I'm just sort of I've got plenty Yeah he's just trying to pick his favourite Three from the list in his head
Starting point is 01:01:17 99 problems One of the most famous Rap songs of all time Then he's got his song Okay we can't think of anymore That's fine I think that proves that point. Do it off your shoulder.
Starting point is 01:01:28 No, no. There's dirt off your shoulder, actually. Oh, you should have said that clearly. We want a tune, though. I'm whispered it to dance here because we can do that while the show's on. We can whisper at each other's here. Exactly. Is it dirt off your show?
Starting point is 01:01:43 Do it off your shoulder. I would say Kanye is more famous than him. Tupac's more famous than him, notorious B.I.G. My and M&M will be all more famous than Jay Z. They're all A-listers, though. Jay-Z is famous for being, yes, an incredible artist in his own right, but I think among normal, regular people, people know him. If you say, oh, who's Jay-Z?
Starting point is 01:02:01 They wouldn't say, oh, the guy that, you know, did Empire State of Mind, they'd say you're cooked, Ash. I'm not happy to disagree. And married to one of the biggest A-listers in the world. That's the first time, did you know, that you've put one above what I've said. It's true. Usually, it's the other way around. I'm not going to be there.
Starting point is 01:02:16 Weirdly, even though Dan and I agree, we're still going to debate Jay-Z because Ash disagree. So we're debating. And don't get me wrong, I love Jay-Z's music. And I think he's, when he was making me. music, 10 years ago. It was fantastic. And the third one, Barack Obama, I think we could all agree. A-Lister. Any president. Any president.
Starting point is 01:02:33 Michelle Obama. A-L-B. That's tricky because of the Obama name. You never hear that again. And so I would actually probably put Michelle at an A. Oh, I'm going B. I would go A. I reckon we would have a decent chance getting Michelle on the show for a degree. We'd never get Barack.
Starting point is 01:02:51 We'd never get Michelle. But if we were going to, you'd be like, oh, we'd definitely going to get Michelle before we get Barack. Why? Because she's a B and he's an A. This is incredible. What was Michelle doing before Barack Obama became president? Because all the other people... Yeah, but what was Barack doing before Barack became president?
Starting point is 01:03:05 It doesn't matter. The fact that she's married to Obama. She was the first lady for two terms. Jay-Z was already famous before Beyonce. Victoria Beckle was already famous before David. Michelle Obama, I don't know, was all that famous before. Yeah, but Barack and Michelle got famous at the same time. We're disagreeing on all three names this morning.
Starting point is 01:03:25 This has never happened. A lot of people angry that I've put Victoria at her to be. Really? Victoria Beckham is the one we're debating. Well, we're going to be as lucky to be it to be because of David. Stop it. You are. He's poking the beer.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Look, he loves it. You are. Look at the smile in his face because he pissed us off. Yay, list of list. What celebrities deserve to be at the top of which ones? Do not. Very controversial today. The three of us can't agree on any of them.
Starting point is 01:03:56 we get a consensus on one, or two. This time we are split on, we're doing partners of verified A-listers, so Victoria Beckham, Jay-Z, Michelle Obama. Can I just not one off straight away? Victoria Beckham, a lot of people angry that I put her at a B. We have not had one person agree that she is a B, so we're going to pop her up to an A, get her off there. Bex will be very happy.
Starting point is 01:04:18 Bex, you are fuming that Victoria might be a B-lister. Well, she's an eight-lister in her own right, She was girl power. She was what we were as girls looked up to. You know, we were young. I think, you know, the Spice Girls as a whole, definitely A, but I think it's separate. She's the only A list are on her right now.
Starting point is 01:04:36 You think you couldn't give me, I don't think, the wives of Christiana Rinaldo or Lionel Messi. No, because they've done nothing except Mary the right-year. Except Mary the footballer. Yeah. Victoria Beckham, you know her because she's done more than Mary the Football. Okay, so we bumped her up to an A. Good on it.
Starting point is 01:04:52 Moving on it. So Jay-Z and Michelle Obama are where we are where we are. in contention because obviously Beyonce and Barack Obama are both obvious A-listers. Okay. Cal's called about Barack Obama's wife Michelle. Oh, cow from Edge Knight's. Morning. Morning Cow.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Ed's Knight. I'm on the East Night. That's what you're on the system as still, sweetheart. It's Edge Knight's Cow. Oh, sorry about that. We'll change it to cow, big dick. Yeah, yeah. Okay, we'll be able to. Or just the day show Cal. Oh, that's fine, too. Yeah, no, let's go back there.
Starting point is 01:05:25 ass is one. I wouldn't even say Obama is an A-Lister. So I don't think Michelle should be anywhere near even a B. I think she'd say. Barack Obama, not an A-Lister. It's just in terms of Fame, Cal. He was the leader of the free world for eight years.
Starting point is 01:05:40 He's an A-Lister. Everybody knows who Barack Obama is. Sorry. Michelle Obama. No, no. Okay. Michelle Obama definitely not an A then. I mean, if Obama is, I would say, scraping through it an A, just because the politician
Starting point is 01:05:55 of that pedestal but there's no way Michelle could be an A. Yeah, we're getting a few others coming through being like B, Michelle's a B. The way I think of it is, let's say there's a charity gala on and it's like for millionaires
Starting point is 01:06:08 and it's very, very, very, very hard to get on the list to attend. And I asked myself, would they want Michelle Obama there? Hell yes. Well, I think Barack gets an invite and he gets a plus one because they know he'll bring Michelle.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Yeah, she's also got... I don't think Michelle gets the invite and with a plus one to bring Barack. And it sounds like you're being a bit. Yeah, there's more people coming through now saying that Michelle is N. A, I will say this as well. She's had the highest selling autobiography by a female ever worldwide. Becoming Michelle Obama.
Starting point is 01:06:34 I want it twice. I'm sticking her at N.A. Thank you so much. The Obama name alone gets a there. We got another one. Alice is going, Michelle's 100% N A. A few coming through now defending Michelle. So, okay, the people have spoken. But what about Jay Z? Okay, Jay Z.
Starting point is 01:06:47 I'm not even going to, I'm just going to let his music speak for itself. If you're having girl problems, that's up for back. for your son I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one I got a rat patrol on the kid patrol Oh my
Starting point is 01:07:00 I'm big Yeah Oh Oh Oh Ladies is a pimp's too Go on brush your shoulders Oh that's right
Starting point is 01:07:09 He's been with Rihanna Yeah he's done a lot And the thing is He's married To Beyonce I'm not a huge fan of Beyonce but she is at the top of the pyramid
Starting point is 01:07:20 In terms of A-listers He's up there as well Because of his and the fact he is married to the most famous name in the world. He's A. Okay. Did I save the best to last last? I saw her.
Starting point is 01:07:37 I just want to find me. That's great. There's no way you can put out music right there to be a B listener. And since you've played all the music, people are going, oh yeah, he is an A on the Texan message. Paris is one of the greats. He's going to go through his library and go, no... And that Lincoln Park album, The Narmong Court War. He may have cheated on Beyonce allegedly.
Starting point is 01:07:57 Maybe. Becky, with the good hair. And he's also, yes, very much responsible for Rihanna, who is an A-Lister. You know what? Doesn't happen often, so we've just pushed them all to Ace. Yeah, love that for us. Victoria Beckham, J-Z, Michelle Obama. Welcome to the A-list. Yeah, Victoria's sullied it a little bit.
Starting point is 01:08:11 Oh, come off it. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Two plus two is four, minus one that's three. Edmast. Inmast, every single day this week, we got a double pass. For you to go and see Ed Sharon live on his Luke tour next year. He's going to be here in Jan. He's doing Auckland, Wellington and Crush Church.
Starting point is 01:08:29 But he does love an album based off a mathematical... What would you call it? An equation. Yeah, but like the equal sign, the plus minus division. Symbols? Yeah. Symbol or action? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:08:44 Well, he's named our whole tour of mathematics. Yeah. So we thought, oh, let's see how your maths goes. I mean, obviously, you can get out of your calculator. It'll take time. but you should be able to do these in your head. Yeah. So Clinda's going to do a maths equation.
Starting point is 01:08:58 It's very hard, in my opinion. Very tricky. It's easy if you're not on the radio live and you've got a piece of paper and a pen in front of you. It's a lot harder when you're pulled over on the side of the road using your brain power. Morning, Mal. Hello, good morning.
Starting point is 01:09:11 How are you at math style? How good are you? I mean, depends how high the numbers go. Yeah. I might be right with basic. How many seconds do we give her before we move on to the? The next caller. Five seconds at the end of the equation, I reckon.
Starting point is 01:09:24 Five seconds at the end. Have you got a pen and paper? I think that's key. You have to, like, write down stuff. Oh, no. I'll try my best. Good on your mouth. Here we go.
Starting point is 01:09:33 Here is your Ed Maths. We're a double past. I go see Ed Sharon. Ed Sheeran is one of the most streamed artists of all time. He's had 60 billion streams across all albums. Mm-hmm. He has eight studio albums. How many streams on average?
Starting point is 01:09:52 Does each album have? Oh, she can't make you do 60 divided by 8 live on the radio. Why? Because it's not even a whole number. Yeah, but it's pretty... I know the answer, but it's a decimal. Okay, five-second timer. I shall start that.
Starting point is 01:10:09 Oh, is that $750,000? No, Dallin. Oh. That's close. It's kind of fun. She's kind of... Did I miss a zero? You missed a few zeros, but you...
Starting point is 01:10:22 Yeah, yeah, you did. did. But also she missed another. She's way up. Is it 750 million? Okay. Bree. Hi. 60 billion streams, eight albums. How many streams does each album have?
Starting point is 01:10:35 On average. 60 what? Sorry, billion. You have five seconds to answer. Uh, 750 million? No. So it is. 60 billion divided by eight is 750 million. No, it's not.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Oh. It is. Oh, now I'm looking smart, which is concerning. I don't know the answer. It is, darling, it is. 60 divided by 8 is 7.5. Yeah, you're correct there. Let's go to Viana.
Starting point is 01:11:04 Oh, sorry, you're right. 60 billion is a lot of billions. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. 60 billion streams, eight albums. How many streams per album? 7.5 million. Oh, gosh.
Starting point is 01:11:16 No. Like, we're making these too hard. No, it shouldn't be. Okay, Bex, come on. We need a Hail Mary, Bates. Bix, 60 billion streams, eight albums. How many streams per album? It's not 700, it's not 750 million.
Starting point is 01:11:35 It's... How much, Bex? 750 million? No! No! Okay, guys, you are so confusing. No, it is 750 million, guys. It is.
Starting point is 01:11:47 750 million. No, that's 7.5 billion. It's not even... Billions. It's only one billion-ish. Nick, 80 billion streams, eight albums.
Starting point is 01:11:58 How many streams per album? Oh, my God. 7.5 billion? Oh, 7,500 million. This has been the modern day version of what day's father's day. It's literally 60 divided by eight. Seven and a half.
Starting point is 01:12:15 Just kicked a billion. But every single time I said they were right. Father's day's on Sunday. It's just making me go crazy. I was like, no, it still has to be more than a billion. Spot Day's Father's Day, Ray? Oh, that's funny. My goodness me.
Starting point is 01:12:27 Congratulations, mate. You're going to Ed Shear and you can sit there. You and a mate, all, you know, proud of yourself. She was all puffed up. Everyone texting through. Someone's six through, oh my God, it's $7.5 billion. Shut up. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Okay, Clint, tomorrow, much easier, okay? Well, I did 60 divided by 8. It's not that tricky. Especially you've got a calculator. It's because they're billions. thing. But I know, but just because I say billion or million or thousand, it's still the same unit. Like you can go 70 by and about eight
Starting point is 01:12:57 and you get easy, seven and a half. But then once you put the billy's and a millions, a billion and a million is different to just a single unit. Okay, I deliberately did that because I thought it might throw people. I didn't think it would throw people to that. You were right. Yeah, it was a shocker. All those people whose children are now crying because they didn't get in charity. Mommy, why can't you do
Starting point is 01:13:13 math? What about Nick's kids? Nick, your wife, are you married? I am married and not a two kids. Yeah, she's going to be bloody pumped. You can do maths. I don't know. Yeah, double-fast, mate, chuck it in the diary.
Starting point is 01:13:26 Go Media Stadium 16th January next year. You and your wife will be there. Congratulations. Yeah, well done. Do you want to do the mass tomorrow, Dan? Absolutely not, Clint. No, this break alone has proved that I should definitely not. I think Ash does it tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:13:41 Your band as well. Well, I was wrong for that one. Ash was making me go crazy. I'm like, oh my God, oh my God, I'm going crazy. Okay, back again tomorrow, your chance to win a double past the Ed chair. Clint, Megan Dan. All right, we're getting Christmas correspondence already. Love it.
Starting point is 01:13:54 Got my tree up yesterday, Ash. Of course he did. Yep, it's all done. That was very early. Yeah. Actually, my son, while we're sending up, said, why are we putting it up so late? I was saying, no, it's November, bud, not December. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Well, you talked about it yesterday, and I was saying that, you know, November, it's not even mid-November yet, let's be honest. It's too early for Christmas decorations. But the emails are going around about the work Christmases and who's hosting family Christmas. Yeah, it's starting now. The plans are starting. And we had a, was this an Insta DM? It came through on our Instagram yesterday. And we love it when you guys reach out.
Starting point is 01:14:29 Please do. Just drop into our DMs. We always read them. Because you guys have more interesting lives than us. This person said, I've started seeing a new guy and things seem to be going well. We went on a third date yesterday and the topic of Christmas came up. He ended up inviting me to family Christmas and I don't know how I feel about it. Pardon me, he thought it was nice.
Starting point is 01:14:47 But I'm worried it's too early to be invited to a family Christmas. Is this alarm bells, or am I overreacting? I'm in two minds about this, because a family Christmas can be an intense get-together. Yeah, Ken's on the family, eh? You get a whole load of family members together. Maybe it's the only time of year they get together. Sometimes things can get a little bit, you know. But maybe just guys got one of those great families,
Starting point is 01:15:12 and he's like, I'm going to show, I'm going to bring out the big guns. He's going to have a great old time at my family lunch. Also, they've only been dating a week, but the time Christmas rocks around, and they were living down in two months. Yeah. I feel like it's fine. It's a bit weird, but who's to say what is right and wrong in this world?
Starting point is 01:15:27 And it's one of those things that's like, well, if they've stopped dating by then, the invitation by its nature is revoked. Yeah. You know what I mean? She's only going to end up going if they're still dating. But then again, you look, well, two and a half months, still very early to be attending family Christmas.
Starting point is 01:15:40 Maybe it depends how old you are as well. Like, imagine if you're a bit older, maybe you're a little bit more careful about who you introduced to mum and dad because it feels more serious when you're in your late. 30s, and when you're in your 20s, it's like, oh, this might be the fifth person that they introduced to us. It's a no from me. And here's why, because at Christmas, it's a time for family, right? You hang out with your family.
Starting point is 01:16:02 I go to my family Christmas. I would argue I'm not ditching my family for someone that I've just started dating. True, that. Imagine how pissed your mum would be. But maybe you're like a really good family person. You're great with your nieces and nephews. You want your new girlfriend or boyfriend to see you. in your element.
Starting point is 01:16:20 Yeah, but do a Christmas Eve, hang. Yeah. If you haven't got a family Christmas, maybe your family lives overseas or they're not in the same town as you? Yeah, true that. Go along. I think so.
Starting point is 01:16:29 My mum and dad showed up accidentally to my first date. So my now wife met my parents, like, date one. Cute. Logan's texted through with a very good point. Earlier, you were talking about getting married before even saying hi. Now you're like, family dinner's weird.
Starting point is 01:16:43 Good point. I didn't know I wanted to marry my husband as soon as I laid eyes on him, so. I think is, though, I've got to be careful who you invite, maybe. Maybe it's the type of person. Yeah. It's the way this person is texted in.
Starting point is 01:16:53 If she said he's the love of my life, he's the one I want to marry, et cetera, et cetera. Happy days, go. But I think she's questioning it even at this point. And so I would argue be careful, tread carefully. Yeah, at my 21st, my auntie Shannon, or mom's cousin would call her auntie, brought her new boyfriend to my 21st. And mom was like, let's do speeches. And I was like, no, no speeches. Mom, you can just do a speech.
Starting point is 01:17:15 So mom says something. And this guy, let's call him John, goes, I'd like to say something actually. Oh, my. And I'm like, who's this guy? And John's like, I've just met Ashley, but she sounds like a really great girl. And I'm really happy to be he's celebrating with you guys. And everyone in the room was like, who that is this guy?
Starting point is 01:17:34 What an idiot. It was hilarious. Just shout out, really. Just no social skills. No, I'd like to say something. Everyone's like, look at all right. Okay, I'm going with, she's overreacting. He's just being nice, being like, hey, Christmas is coming.
Starting point is 01:17:46 If you want to come to our family Christmas, you're more than welcome. If it's too much for you, no drama. summers. Just chill, man. What do you think? Oh, 800 of the Edge, text 32343. I'm sure there's people that have been dating for a week and gone to the family Christmas. Did it work out? Wasn't a disaster. Or maybe three years in and they still haven't extended the invitation.
Starting point is 01:18:02 That's bad. That's interesting. Red flag, have you been dating for like, I think more than two years? Like, have you never done a family Christmas with them? Yeah. What are they hiding? We had someone reach out to us saying that they've been dating a week, done about three dates and he said, why don't you come to family Christmas? which arguably is, you know, still another six, seven weeks away
Starting point is 01:18:22 so maybe it just came up in conversation now she's freaking out. I think it's hard to make a decision this early on, though. It's true. Like three dates in and you're having to make a decision about something a month that you might not even know if the relationship's going to continue. Then you just go, yeah, okay, that could be nice.
Starting point is 01:18:38 And then last minute, if you can't make it, one less person, mum's not going to stress. And if they'd been like, oh, I don't have any family, I'll be alone at Christmas. I'd be like, come on over to my family. Right? Yeah, and then if you turn out to be a psycho, I'll withdraw the invitation before them.
Starting point is 01:18:52 Susie has a bloody wild story about people that are being invited to family Christmas when you don't really know them that well. Yeah. So you were staying at a friend's place, Susie? Yeah, yeah, yeah, one Christmas, and on Christmas Eve, we went out, and she brought a guy home. Never met him before, and the next morning she was trying to smuggle him out, and her mum caught them. and she just basically told him to sit down for breakfast. Wait, so the one-night stand joined in the next day for family Christmas. Because the mum insisted.
Starting point is 01:19:25 Was he there for present opening? No, that happened later in the afternoon after he'd gone. But he sat down and he fit in perfectly and she was smiling by the end of it. She looked like she wanted to call under the table at first. But they're now married and they have a 22-year-old son. Oh, wow. That's nice. Amazing.
Starting point is 01:19:47 And if they've gotten to meet the family out nice and quick. I wonder if the mum had never caught them, whether she would even know that he would have fit in and they would never have got married, you know? The mum's the reason. Yeah, exactly. That's what we always talk about. Great story, Susie.
Starting point is 01:19:59 It would have just been another one-night stand. One-night stand at Christmas is wild, though. I know. I think emotions are high. And is it Camille? Yeah, hi. What are your thoughts on this? Oh, well, I mean, I think it's a bit.
Starting point is 01:20:16 stuff, but maybe there's one. You're in a kind of similar situation. What's happened? Yeah, so I am due to have my second baby, December 16th. So we'll be very fresh postpartum at Christmas time. And my brother lives in Japan, and he wants to come visit us here in New Zealand, which we're stoked about. And he wants to bring his new lady friend, and none of us even is dating the lady friends. Oh, so you didn't even know he had a girlfriend.
Starting point is 01:20:44 So how new is the relationship? between him and this girl? I think weeks. Wow. You know that's, you can't be. I wouldn't even be going on a holiday that quickly. Yeah, traveling's even more risky. International flight to see your...
Starting point is 01:20:56 Long-ass flight. Boyfriend's family after two weeks, man. She must know. But having said that... Maybe it will be four weeks. So a month. Matt... You love your boobs out.
Starting point is 01:21:08 There's a baptism of fire that is for that girl. But having said that if after three... If after a month, Adrian had said to me, come and meet my family for Christmas I would have been like, hell yeah. Because we knew. So who am I to then? It's like too early, too soon. Yeah, but it's nice to judge other people. It's so fun.
Starting point is 01:21:25 With a different measure to the one we use on ourselves. I think the key is when you know you know, right, when you're with the right one. And if it's that early on, then happy days. I don't know. I'd have to text me and my partner started dating on the 12th of December in 2021. First time meeting of the in-laws was Christmas, so much pressure.
Starting point is 01:21:41 Only a few weeks into the relationship, nearly four years on, and I go to every Christmas. Wow. So nice. And also it is good to see someone around their family because it brings up the worst and the best. True, true. And I'd say everybody's saying just go for it to this person.
Starting point is 01:21:56 Also, you don't know if your new boyfriend or girlfriend's family are like rich. What if they got like a lake house with tennis court? You don't know unless you go? That seals the deal for me, eh? Imagine if you're like, no, I can't. And then you see on their Insta stories they're out jet skiing just straight up onto the section. and then he's with some other girl playing volleyball
Starting point is 01:22:16 and then he'll like, oh my God, that could be me. The girl that he grew up with in primary school that hasn't seen for years and she got hot because she's been at boarding school. Yeah, and her rich family owned the place next door, so they're always sneaking into each other's rooms. And the end of the night and Dan, their parents are married. Their stepsister and stepbrother.
Starting point is 01:22:33 Oh my God, take a ring just in case too. Holy shit, you made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough, Check out our only fans, podcast it is. Rover, music, radio, podcasts.
