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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
What's your buddy
Clint Meg and Dan
Spinky Boot
Time to get naughty
At 640
It's a reporter
You know one of those like
Just roaming reporters
That just goes around
interviewing people on the street
That's how we got
Hock Tour girl
Oh yeah
I love you
Yeah
There's a woman
Speaking to other women
About what their plan is
When they die
Take a listen
Do you have a sex toy
plan for when you die like who's going to get rid of them oh gosh no but i need to think about
that yeah right i am getting older now yeah well you might die like hit by a bus you never know
if i die using one that would be tough i'd love to hear like the sort of speech at the funeral
i know laura she died doing what she loved she loved herself to death that's awesome good on
that i mean you do have to think about these things don't you what do you mean like when you're old or
like a contingency now in case you get hit
by a train. 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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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...
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?
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?
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

I'm excited
someone's getting married.
It says you don't know when you're getting married.
Have they asked?
No, I would like to in 2027, but we're also renovating at the same time.
So you're engaged, though?
Yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Okay, okay, right, right.
Last big life and life's expensive, baby.
Well, Katie, today your number is S.
S for, what's a wedding word to do with S?
You say your number is S?
Yeah, whatever.
She knows.
She knows what's the same?
S for.
Q R S.

Yeah, but no, what's a wedding word that starts with?
this. I was going to say S for ceremony, Jesus.
He was going to say ceremony.

Easy for us to say.
We've got all the answers in front of us, Katie.
But good on you, darling.
Good luck with the renovations.
luck with the wedding and good luck in life
in general, mate. Thank you.
See you, mate. Back again at
8th. If you want to get amongst it, it's all thanks
to Novice Glass, proud partners of the Special Olympics
NZ. 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,
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.
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?
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.
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
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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?
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
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?
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,
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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...
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
Poo brown.
It's more of a maroon
You haven't even got an aura
Clint, Megan Dan
Let's get into the Gen Z quiz
Morning web girl, Bella
Hi guys, how's it going?
Good
You feeling good after last week's
4 out of 5?
Yeah, I'm feeling great
Because the rule is
If you get 5 out of 5 in this quiz
We never play again
Yep
Otherwise we'll continue to educate you
On things that happened
Outside of your generation
Question 1
First one's an easy one
Name this movie
Just keep your head in the game
And don't be afraid
She knows it
Hi, school, his school.
Oh, yeah, 2016, school, one.
Just only 20 years since that was released.
20 years ago.
Yeah, 2006, isn't that incredible?
Right, next up, my sweet, who sings this song?
I want to see you off that door, baby.
Yes.
Two for show for Bella!
Very good, babe.
Calm down, we've been here before.
Things get a little bit more difficult.
How are you in?
cooking and stuff.
Great.
I'm such a boody.
Okay, you'll know this one then.
Name the celebrity chef.
Now, I'm aiming for quite a solid mash at this stage.
Is that done a lot?
I still need a bit of more.
All fat.
Oh my God, I'm going to be able.
She didn't even need the whole grab of audio.
Yeah, the microawee.
Okay.
Name this kid's TV show.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking B1?
I think I am B2.
It's helping time.
B1 and B2.
There's two of these things.
This was probably.
I would say
25 years ago
the biggest kids TV show worldwide
Oh like Sesame Street
That's not our answer
But it's not her answer
She's saying
Is it like Sesame Street?
Is it like Sesame Street
We're going to say it's kind of like Sesame Street
That was going to be my answer
Okay
Only because I was thinking like puppets
Was it puppets?
No
bananas and pajamas
When you say puppets
Do you mean Muppets?
They're not Muppets
They're not even Muppets
No no when she's saying puppets
I think she means the Muppets.
Oh, the Muppets, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, so it can't be a perfect score.
You can equal your best, so four out of five with this final question.
If I wanted to listen to a CD back in the day, I would use a Discman.
If I wanted to listen to a cassette, I would use a Wattman.
Pretty cassette inside, yeah.
Very famous.
It was before the iPod.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
So text the word, Ash, to 33, 44, and we will send you to believe.
It's just made up a story for, Ashley.
By the way.
I'm sorry, I said.

Asked to 3343 to get the link.
Please buy my book.
It's really good and it gives you some more insight.
Oh, God.
I had a text from Amy that I'd love to read.
Amazing book, Ash, thank you.
I had tears in my eyes at the end.
I listened to the audio book.
Do you narrate your audio book?
No, a girl called Joe did it, who's fantastic.
Why? Why don't you do your own book?
I didn't have the skills.
I tried and I lost my voice after about four minutes.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
Running Man like her dad after six kids
Yeah
Thought it was quite fitting
That was brilliant
Yeah, Kate's like that one
Yeah
Yeah, good on you, Caitlin
Yeah, so there's hope for us all
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.
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.
Buggar.
Clint, Megan, Dan.

Yeah, two more questions in your word.
Oh, I got it.
Thank you so much.
What did you say for five-letter word?
Gouda?
Like the cheese?
Gouda.
What was it said?
Arthur.
Yeah, the cheese.
Gouda.
If she said Guba, another great word.
Is it a word, though?
A good.
A good.
I'd call someone a guber.
Clint's a goober.
Oh, thanks, Dan.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
I'm big
Yeah
Oh
Oh
Oh
Ladies is a pimp's too
Go on brush your shoulders
Oh that's right
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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...
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
It's...
How much, Bex?
750 million?
No!
No!
Okay, guys, you are so confusing.
No, it is 750 million, guys.
It is.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
