And I don't think she realizes you call everyone babe. Yeah. You call me babe sometimes. Yeah babe. But Clint we're friends okay I've got a wife anyway, so um that one night we had together Yeah, I have mostly it was pretty forgettable actually Dan if I'm honest She wasn't there No, I mean just in general. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm usually better at that No, I mean just in general. Oh yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm usually better at that. Seven o'clock will be fun. Ash will join us. We've got ten thousand bucks to give away with easy money and Smutty Stories is back. She's an erotic author. But Dan and I, maybe we could be too. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.

I'm about to jump into a 6am throwback. On this day, Clint, back in 2019, six years ago, Snow Patrol's song, Chasing Cars, this one here, was named, now this is crazy, I thought there'd be other songs that would be way bigger than this, but was named the most played song of the 21st century in European radio history. Damn! I remember when this first came out. Do you think it's because it's non-offensive to so many other genres or different radio stations so they can all play it? Maybe. I remember that when I first heard the song it was from Grey's Anatomy and it was when one of the main

actors dies in it and they play it just as he's like passing away people will remember it but this is what I think made that song famous is from Grey's Anatomy. So it came out in 2006 and in 2019, named the most played song in 21st century in European radio, in front of second place, Black Eyed Peas, I Got A Feeling.

Yeah, that's more like it. I think it's a better song. Yeah, same. But no one's dying in Grey's Anatomy today. No. Unless he's the villain to this. No. Unless he's the villain. Yeah, true. And they're like, yes, tonight's gonna be a good night,

because the boss is done. They could have also played the third place song most played in European history, Pharrell's Happy. Oh, I think my mum contributed to 10% of its place. Reminds me of Minions. Pharrell now, I think he's got a few tracks on like the Minions movies.

Must get paid well. And I don't want to hate on a song that's about happiness. Yeah. I don't like it. Oh, I can't see a good one anyway. Yeah, I don't like it. It's just a bit boring. And Pharrell's a very talented man.

He's worked on a lot of stuff. Yeah. But I think he could do better really, but I guess it was a successful song. I vote we play I Got A Feeling. Yeah, I'm thinking a little Black Eyed Peas But I think he could do better really, but I guess it was a successful song. I vote we play I Got A Feeling. Yeah, I'm thinking a little Black Eyed Peas is probably going to get us in a better mood for a Thursday. Clint, Meg and Dan.

Oh my gosh. I have a maybe a controversial styling choice I'd like to run past you, Dan, which I wasn't going to get into, although I was tempted. And then I saw a Timothée Chalamet also rocking the same piece of clothing. Now, Clint, you often go out of the box in terms of fashion choices, and you're one of these people that can pull off stuff.

You know, like you can, like if I came to work wearing a dress, people would go, you know, that's weird. What are you trying to do dad? When I wear my dresses. But if Clint did it, if Clint wore his dresses, people would be like, oh there's Clint, just trying some stuff. But I think if you think you can, you can. If you think you can't, well then you can't. Because you don't even think you can, so why would other people believe it?

Yeah true, but I'd wish I could. But also you've got to persevere because people will always give you crap if you start something new But if you persevere with it, they stop giving you crap because they realize oh you don't care Yeah, and you like it regardless and then they start liking it. But I'm not you I can't pull you off So why would I even try? Hopefully not Alright, I saw a guy when I was I was over in Japan Sorry, I didn't just realize how that was worded.

And there was a guy rocking around, it was so hot. In Japan it was like 34, 35 degrees. And I made a few wrong choices, went out and about. And there was a guy with his wife and two kids, and he was wandering around, and I was like, huh, he looks cool. And then I realized it had like a cool kind of Japanese design on what I thought were his shorts or you know quite like

like long shorts turns out he was wearing a skirt a mini skirt like no it wasn't mini it was like down around below his knees but it was kind of like pleated it was like a pleated like Japanese skirt and I was like that's so cool I was like I really like that. And um yeah why should the Scottish people be the only ones that can like dudes wear skirts? Yeah, kilts. Japanese dudes can too. And the men in Scotland that wear kilts they don't wear anything underneath them.

Don't they? No, I've heard it's a tradition. That's risky. If I rock up my first skirt I'm not letting there be a chance where the wind, especially in like Auckland, ends up blowing it up and showing everyone my goodies. What are you going to wear underneath it though? Do you wear a pair of shorts or you just go undies? No you go boxers I reckon, so it almost feels like you're wearing shorts anyway. But my wife goes why don't you just ask him where he got it from? And I'm like I'm not going up to another man and ask him where he got his skirt from because...

Look at that sentence! He's gonna think I'm taking the piss when I'm genuinely wanting to know where he got it so I can get one! I'm not going up to another man and asking him where he got his skirt from. Yeah I was just, I wasn't sure he would know I was serious and I didn't want him to think I was making fun. And then I saw Timothy Chalamet threw up a collage of images and in one of them he's rocking a plaid skirt as well.

A pleated skirt. That's it. And I'm like, huh, maybe Dan you and I need to get on this before all guys are doing it and then it looks like we're just jumping on the bandwagon. Should we wear a skirt tomorrow, you and I? And surprise Ash, cause she'll be here at six tomorrow, she'll be doing her normal hours at last.

So I think you and I come in tomorrow wearing skirts. Yeah but are you the same like measurement as your waist, your wife around the waist? I reckon my wife will be too tight. I'll squeeze into something. It might be a bit small on me but. No dad, we'll get one shot of this and if we don't pull it off we can never wear skirts again. And I don't want to tarnish the one shot we've got at wearing skirts by wearing the wrong one. I'm going to tell you this and tell you right now Clint, I'm not going to wear undies underneath mine, I'm going to go full Scottish. And the boss was worried that without a girl it would be too manly on the show. It's the Lads Hour from 6 till 7. And the boss was worried that without a girl it would be too manly on the show.

It's the Lads Hour from 6 till 7. And we've got to get into smutty stories. Dan and I have done this before, writing erotic fiction for the female gays. But it turns out it's much harder to do when you're taking on a professional author, which Ash London is. Well you think when you read it you go, I could do that. Yeah, yeah, I've always thought I could do that. I could just write a nice story that maybe gets people going, but it is harder than it sounds.

Yeah, last time we did it, I don't know, did Ash win or did we win? I mean, you be the judge. This was previously on Smutty Stories. Well, he asked, voice low and dark, gaze burning through me. I opened my mouth to answer but nothing came out. He knelt down in front of me. Jesus.

As if possessed, I spread my legs to make space for him to inch closer. Oh, fuck! He reached forwards, grabbed me by the waist and pulled my chair in towards him. One hand reached out to stroke my cheek. I closed my eyes savouring every millimetre of contact. His fingers started trailing a feather soft line down my neck, down my chest. He brought his mouth to my ear. Does this get your blood pumping?

He asked his voice soft. I nodded. A soft whimper was all that I could manage. Ash, I can't look at you. I nodded. A soft whimper was all that I could manage. Ash, I can't look at you. So that was mine and Dan's that Meg read out? No. Was that Ash's?

That was Ash's. But I will say, I think ours has a bit more pizzazz. Yeah, like hers is obviously very slow. Very slow. It's all like the bill goes for pages. Can I like, mate, that was more of a short story. Yeah, get to the crescendo quickly, I say. Yeah, yeah, come on. People were busy.

Yeah, okay. So then Meg read mine in Dan's version. My instincts told me to slow down as my body began to overheat with arousal. I desperately wanted her to stay. I began unbuttoning her blouse, her fingers interlocking behind my neck I was just about to order food if you want to eat in

I asked hopefully she stared intently into my eyes the smoke pulling at the corner of her mouth that she said To be fair as well Dan there was other stuff as well that you must like their chemistry they drew They were like drawn to each other like two sexy magnets sexy magnetsxy magnets and I think that is really just description that Smut needs. Yeah yeah you know so we're gonna have another go at it at seven o'clock this morning. Not that we needed another go because I think we clocked it then. Yeah true like it was a real it was one of those like it was hard to decide who won that one I think so we were like let's give Ash another crack at it. You wrote the prompts for this because normally Meg does but with her away on Mat-Leave,

you wrote the prompt to Ash, and the two of us had to finish. Yeah, so this is what you're gonna be hearing after seven. This is just the first couple of sentences. Disaster. Water gushing everywhere, the kitchen pipe had burst, and I had no idea how to fix it. I had to act fast, so I picked up the yellow pages

and dialed the first plumber I could find. Minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Do do do. Now Dan and I spent quite a bit of time actually together combining both of our male brains to see if it could be sexier than one female brain. I think Webgil Bella recorded a little bit of behind the scenes. So if you want another little tease ladies, here is what you got to mean.

Thanks, thanks. The guys might want a bit of a tease as well. Loud bang. A second pipe burst, it sent water gushing down the hallway, blowing both of our pants off. Yeah. Yeah. So you, cause that's what you want. You want yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So you, because that's what you want. You want their pants off. Oh, we can't be mucking around. We're like, how do we slowly get both their pants off? I know the water just gushes down the hall and just down trails them both. Yeah, we've both been at the beach, you know, at Pihau Beach where it's been real swally

and the pants just get ripped off. Yeah. Yeah. So if you want to hear who wrote it better, 7 o'clock this morning, Smutty Stories back with Ash London right after Easy Money and your chance to win 10 grand. Look forward to that. Clint, Megan, Dan. Let's go.

Clint, Megan, Dan scandal. Ash will be joining us at 7 o'clock this morning. Scandal is brought to you by E! New Zealand. If you've got a dream, E! New Zealand's got your seat. You can apply now at dreamseats.co.nz. We've given away trips to Texas, Hawaii, and I think it was Aussie yesterday. Yeah, yesterday.

So if you haven't registered, Texas Dream to 3343, and we could be granting yours just after 7.30 this morning. Sunny, but Williams, New Zealand rugby player, he's a league player. He's, everything he tries, he's good at, right? He's one of those people. I think, like he, and he doesn't everything he tries he's good at right? He's one of those people. I think like he and he doesn't just try and he's good at it.

His team will end up winning like the premiership, the finals, so he's got like medals for every sport he's ever competed in. He's been trying boxing as well and he played for Paul Gallon last night. He's a bit of a he's I think he's a month away from turning 44. He's probably one of the few people to have over 300 games in the NRL and played for the Cronella Sharks, which coincidentally, one of the three judges refereeing the fight was from. He was from Cronella, which I find unbelievably hard to see how they would allow that.

Do you think that they didn't know that? And then after it it he was like, oh, by the way, I'm from Cronella. Yeah, up the sharks. Yeah, you know, maybe they needed to do a little bit more fact checking before they chose the judges. But anyway, I didn't know boxing was judged.

I thought it was just like, well, you just see who's got more blood on their face at the end or who's knocked out. Well, that's interesting you say that because it turns out that Sunday Bill Williams lost by split decision by one point. He also had a point taken off him late in the rounds for too much holding supposedly. So that may have been the difference.

But his team were like, look at Sonny's face and look at Paul Gallin's face. Who do you think took more hits to the face? Because I did see a photo of Paul Gallin. He looked a little bit messed up. It didn't look good, did he? Yeah. Yeah, take a look at him. Do you beef with Paul?

Oh, this was, I'm sorry, Paul Gellin and we're talking about, I guess, post-fight. Whether they're gonna catch up because they didn't get along. Paul was saying some really horrific things to Sunny who by all accounts and from what we know of him is a really, really stand up guy. This was actually Meg talking about their beef because I guess you got to

promote the fight right and Paul Galland was definitely trying to do that. Do you beef with Paul? Beef? Some call it beef. I call it like an annoying fly or a mosquito that I just need to... Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. ...take me one hour after. Go on, that's great. That's really annoying yeah. You know the reality is me speaking a few truths, that are all factual.

He is a drug cheat. He did charge his players when he was playing to come to his house to a barbecue. Charged them. Like charged them money? Yes. Like, want to lose it? Really? But I think he didn't like that.

I'm preparing to go eight rounds where I can just punch his face. Yeah. Yeah. And Sonny did do that. Unfortunately, he didn't come away with the goods. And this is what Paul Gellin had to say afterwards, because you think you're all going to shake hands and be nice, because supposedly, St. Louis Williams said, hey, man,

I'd like to catch up for a coffee afterwards. So I think he extended the olive branch, and Paul said he would honor it. I got the win, that's all that matters. It'll be there forever. Yeah look at that at the end of the day I'm 44 years old in less than a month's time. Sonny just came up to me and said he wants to have a coffee man to man and I'll honour that. I had my fights I finished my fights I move on with life.

I'm not gonna gloat. It's been a long time coming. I got the job done and that's all that matters. Life goes on now. I wonder if he'll pay for his coffee or whether he'll do it like when he was charging people to come to his house pick up the bill or Sonny left to do it all hey mate so what do you guys want to do this you wanna and balls I split it split it we've got two coffees 550 each yeah yeah wow wow so can I fight again or is that it well you would think normally you'd look to do a rematch especially if you felt you were hard done by it, like Sonny Bill Williams' camp will be.

But it sounds like Paul's like, nah, I'm retiring. I'm gonna end with a win. Why would I get back in the ring at 44 to tempt fate twice and end with a loss? I don't think he will. I'll tell you what, Sonny Bill, I mean, Paul Galland doesn't have as a Rugby World Cup. Yep.

Sonny Bill has two of them, doesn't he? Yeah, or a six pack. Sonny was shredded. It's all coming up Sunny in my opinion. Yeah all right is it time to break up? If your partner starts patting you on the head like a dog is the relationship over? Depends if you're a dog or not. And you're not a dog yeah. Clint, Megan, Dan. Is it time to break up? It's a nick of sorts. Well, my friend actually did say she's got the ick now and I was like, oh God, everything was going so good.

What is he doing? Thinking it's going to be something pretty big, like a big political view, or he doesn't want kids, or... Now he started patting her on the head like a dog. Now when you say like a dog are you saying like he's sort of like scruffing her up like hey boy. No I think it's like a cross between a pat and a stroke on the head so it's just a short just a short pat stroke. The strokes weird so patting you kind of go oh yeah maybe every now and then.

Because patting almost feels like oh girl, which is patronising. A stroke is, I think, more loving, but she reckons also when he puts his hand around her neck, so I guess he's got his hand over her shoulder, he'll like pat her shoulder, which I don't think that's as bad. That's not as bad. All of it is bad to her, and she's like, it's done.

I was like, why can't you just ask him to stop padding you? She's like, no, it's just, it's done. And I was talking to producer Neeps and he goes, he thinks it's a Gen Z thing. If you're in your 20s, you've got so many options that you just like start again. But once you become like 30 plus, you're in your millennial, you're a millennial Gen Xer,

you're like, I'll work through this. You're willing to overlook stuff more. Because you don't wanna start again. There are less options and it's just more admin. My first ever, I won't say her name, but my first ever girlfriend at high school. I got the ick from her before there was an ick. And it was because when I'd walk behind her, it looked like she had no neck. You're like the Chandler. It was a Chandler from Friends where he would just find things like, oh my god, her second toe is actually her big toe, and he'd break up with her and she was perfect.

Yeah, so yeah, I'd walk behind her, I remember walking behind her one day at school and I remember being like, she's got no neck. But she did, she was lovely, she had a neck. But it was just this thing I found that I was like, that's the reason we're gonna break up. She's now into girls. And maybe, maybe, maybe it's like you're just trying to find something.

I don't know. And then it's not even real. The head padding was fine. I think when you're, I'm going to call it say 30 plus, you'll work through it. Even maybe you will turn a blind eye to X because you were so desperate to not start again, you're so blinded by love, that you just let things that should be ex, completely go. True. So you're like, oh my God, and my wife Hannah for instance, she leaves out her floss.

Like I'll sometimes go in and there'll be a bit of floss on the bathroom. Do you smell it? No. How do you know it's used? Well, cause I know that she flosses every night. And she just left it out. Gross, just put it in Well, cause I know that she flosses every night. Right. And she just left it out.

Gross, just put it in the bin. I know. I'd get the ick if I wasn't in my 30s. Yeah, and you're married, so you gotta push through. I'm wondering if we could take some calls on what should have given you the ick, but you were just too blinded by love at the time, that you're like, oh my God, he chooses toenails.

He's so sweet. You know what I mean? Like maybe you're still in the relationship now, like Dan, and you've got something that should be giving you the ick, but you're like, nah, we're just too deep. We're too committed, we got a mortgage and stuff. Yeah, he had really hairy nostrils, but man, I loved him.

Yeah, yeah, and now looking back, that you're not together, you're like, how did that not give me the ick? I was blinded or besotted by love that I let so many icks slide. He's always got stuff stuck in his teeth. Oh I love him man. Yeah, he's so cute. Anyone else is going, oh gross. We're talking about the fact that I think once

you hit 30 you are blind to a lot of things that I think give people the ick in their early 20s. My friend who is in her 20s has been patted on the head recently by her new boyfriend and has had enough and said that is the ick. The relationship's over even though I said why don't you just tell him to stop patting you? She goes, nah it's done, it's done. So he thinks it's an affectionate thing. I'd see it as very patronising if I was her. So I sort of, I'm on her side. But I think if you are madly in love you you're just like, oh my God, he's so sweet, he loves me so much. And these things that should be kind of icky are just completely disregarded, I think.

And maybe you're so blinded by love, you don't get the ick, even though looking back now, if you're not together, you're like, I should have, that should have given me the ick, why didn't it? Some of the messages that are coming through of people that have witnessed something that could give them the ick,

but they've got over it are incredible. Like this person said that he'd always share hot girl Instagram pages with me for inspiration. We're still together though. I'll be like, hey look how hot she is babe, you should do that. You should wear that. I don't know, like I'm kind of... If it's done in a nice way, like going like, you'd look good in this babe. You'd look good with boobs this big babe. Oh well no, that's different different that you're having to change your actual body but I mean if he was just sharing like a cool bikini or a

nice dress or something he was like you'd suit this I think that's fine I went under the edge and we'll get a double pass I know what you did last summer a modern take on the original movie see on cinemas today what should have given you the ick but you were too blinded by I love to see it Sarah's sex are you saying Harvey always forgets to flush the toilet. If we're in a new relationship it would be sure the ick but we have kids so he's lucky. You just kick the door closed and be like, hey shut the door when you're doing that. Yeah, loud chewing especially when she eats toast it's nearly broken us up a couple of times.

I agree like gleeking when you're eating and chewing is sometimes I have to leave the room and it's not necessarily with my wife. It's with other people. Sometimes it's you Clint Chewing it you can chew quietly my wife last night. She was like hey babe And she was like hey, thanks so much for you know, we had my niece over and I was looking after my wife was working Why is she talking like that? And she's like, hey, thanks so much. You're such a great uncle and I was looking after her while my wife was working. Why is she talking like that? And she was like, hey, thanks so much, you're such a great uncle. And I was like, did you brush your teeth before bed? Also, the way she was talking would give me the ache. Well, that's the way it sounded to me

because it was like, she's just breathing in my face. And I was like, did you brush your teeth? She said, no, I forgot. And I was like, no, like brush your teeth. Like we tell the kids you gotta brush them twice a day, that applies to you too, babe. Oh my God. Boyfriend always hweeks into the sink, absolute ick,

but I still love him. Hweeking into a sink, who are you? Yuck. Disgusting. And no matter how many times I ask my husband to put the toilet seat up, every time I use the bathroom, the toilet seat is covered in wee. Ash has just arrived. Morning, ah, hi guys.

Morning, Ash. Love listening in the car. My husband Adrian has long curly hair like me. And when he has a shower, every time he's in the shower, he wets his hair. It's a sweet thing. And then there's two weeks, actually. The first is that he then gets into bed with wet hair and the pillow gets wet. Disgusting. Oh, yeah. And he...

It'd be moldy. You need to change his pillow every six months. Like the actual pillow. Oh, I've even washed it every year, yeah, absolutely. But the worst is that he lets his hair, like lumps of his hair just congregate in the corners of the shower on the floor. My wife at least will swirl it into a ball and stick it against the glass for me to remove later. Yeah, which is what all girls do. Fine, cute, making art.

Is it? It looks like there's a rash in the bottom of our shower from his hair that... If we were dating, I'd be like, eek. And the thing that annoys me the most is whenever I go, oh hey babe, you're here again, like on the glass. As I grab her, she goes, I was just about to get there. She was just about to. She was on her way to do it when you said it, so shut up.

She had no idea she even stuck it there. That is disgusting. I believe her. And you're right, you're like, I've got a mortgage. Yeah, I'm not backing out now. Can't start again. I'd be useless without him. Absolutely useless.

I don't even know how to log into my banking account. You don't have that issue though, Clint, because you're the breadwinner. Got it. See ya. So ya. I'ma go for a clean shower. Enjoy the kids.

I'm sick of the hair on the side of the chair, I'm leaving it. Kia ora good morning, it is bang on 7 o'clock and your chance to win $10,000 with Easy Money thanks to BNZ. Ash is going to give you a letter, she's going to hit you with 10 questions. Every answer must start with that letter. You can pass, we've got time, we'll come back. No repeated answers. If you can give us 10 answers in 30 seconds, that 10 grand is yours. Playing this morning is the wonderful, the incomparable, Alicia. Good morning. Good morning.

Okay, are you ready? Pardon? Your answers are gonna have to be a lot quicker than that when we play the game, Alicia. Yeah, not a good start. You need to be listening. All I asked was, are you ready? Oh, sorry.

Yes, I am ready. Okay, okay. All right, let's get a nice, good start. Your time will start right on the back of Ash asking the first question. Good luck, Alicia. Your letter today is M, for L M N O P. Understand? OK. OK. Yes. First up, baby girl, Alicia,

a school subject. Math. A man's name. Matthew. A food. Mint. A three-letter word. Oh my God. Match. Something you can read. Magazine. Something with a seed.

Mango. A city. Much waker. Something you find at an airport. Matt? Matt? Um, much waker. Something you find at an airport. Um, a mat? Time! 80% there. Yes.

It's a B, it's a B minus. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I love how you hadn't passed until, well, you hadn't, I mean, I had a question mark on maybe the seventh. But otherwise, you're going well, you just need to shave a little bit of time off everyone. Interesting, you really started well

and then you got stumped on a three-letter word which is probably the easiest one of the questions. Oh, just a reminder. It is hard though when you go, oh god, you get in the head eh. All of a sudden you forget how to spell. Yeah. But well done, that was a really good effort to be honest Alicia. Yeah, not bad.

Thank you. Definitely not the worst. Definitely not. That bar is much further away from how Alicia played. Back at 8 o'clock this morning, your chance to play for 10k if you think you can do any better. Clint, Megan, Dan. We've written an erotic fiction for the female gaze for some time now, you and I, Dan. We should be better, I think.

Can I just say something? The fact that it's always girl on girl means that when you say the female gaze, I think you actually mean G-A-Y-S. So do I. Not Z-E. No. It's The Gays. Yes. Okay so we thought we were pretty good and then we realised maybe we'd meet our match or maybe just we had good, finally some good competition. Yeah finally at last. And Ash who is an author. No offence to Meg who is a fantastic writer. Oh yeah but she never wrote. She always just read. It was always me v Dan, whereas now... Oh really? Way better. This is gonna be fun.

Whereas Dan and I now, instead of fighting with each other, now we're fighting together against you. It's like if the All Blacks and the Wallabies became one super team. Yes! That's what's happening right here. I don't know, I don't know. That's rugby. Even I surprised myself there. So coincidentally you are an author. Would you call yourself there. So coincidentally, you are an author. Would you call yourself an erotic author?

No, a romance author. Right. Maybe I'll get to the erotic next, but not quite yet as far as published works go. Okay, so Dan has written a prompt that we were all tasked with finishing the story, and we decided to see who did it better. Okay.

Okay. So I'll, I need a little, you need to give me the ding. Why don't I start the music when your writing takes over from the prof. Okay, perfect. Okay. Okay. Good luck, Anne. Disaster.

And I'm so sorry, I've been sick so there might be some coughing in here. It's not part of the script. Thank you so much. Water gushing everywhere. The kitchen pipe had burst and I had no idea how to fix it. I had to act fast so I picked up the yellow pages and dialed the first plumber I could find. Minutes later there was a knock at the door. Exasperated, I pulled it open to see my neighbour, Troy, standing before me. I'd never seen him

up close before, my breath hitching as my eyes took in the sheer size of him. His piercing blue eyes looked over my shoulder. I heard you screaming and ran straight over. I thought you might be in danger. His voice was husky and as he spoke the muscles in his thick neck bulged. It's the pipe under the sink. I managed to reply as I felt myself flush. Wait here I'll get my tools. I bickered around and in one swift movement jumped over my balcony and disappeared into his house. I glanced at myself in the oven oven pinched my cheeks and adjusted my bra. Moments later he returned. Wow it's really gushing he murmured with a wink as he strode past me and lowered himself under the sink. My eyes were

fixated on his broad chest. The way his biceps squeezed and retracted with every move as he tightened the pipe back into place. He was getting wetter and wetter by the second and he wasn't the only one. The water turning his shirt more and more translucent, forcing it to stick to every crevice of his perfect body. I felt a dull throb between my legs. I was turning feral. Class is averted, he called from under the sink. Oh, thanks, I replied absently. The burst pipe was lasting for my mind. All I could think about was how good it would be to remove his wet shirt, to feel the strength of his moist chest against me, pushing me against the oven, the wall, the fridge, anything.

I was desperate for him. My entire body yearned for him. I had to have him. Is there anything else around the house that needs my attention? He slowly asked as he lifted himself up from the floor, his blue eyes boring through me with an intensity that made my skin prickle. He clocked my eyes as they darted from his eyes to his crotch and back again. A wry smile broke through his serious demeanor as if I'd given him the permission he was looking for and within a second he crossed the room, closing the space between us, with one swift movement reached under me,

picked me up and carried me back towards the kitchen table. Just then we were interrupted by another knock at the door. Emergency plumber here, we spoke about five minutes ago. He called out through the glass. Troy brought it, Troy, it's my story, not yours. Troy brought a finger to my pursed lips and called out over his shoulder. All good mate, crisis over.

The gushing stopped before looking back at me and winking for now. Oh! Oh! Ow! Oh! Oh my goodness, mate. Oh Jesus, I mean if we go in with the rugby analogy,

I think Dan and I are down 30 nil, and going into the sheds and coming out in the second half is gonna be a tough one. Yeah. Tough one to win this. Hey, but we're gonna get a field goal clit win this. We're gonna get a few of them. We're gonna need a few of those Dan. It's a slippery pitch.

That is how Ash London has finished the story. Who is a published author. Let's see how amateur erotic writers Dan and Clint go next. You know what Ash, that was cute. It was really cute. Thanks for the encouragement guys. It was a nice little story Thanks for the encouragement guys. It was a nice little story.

Beat time story for kids really. Yeah, it was a nice warm up. You know. All right, our story read hopefully with the same gusto by Ash London next. If you've just tuned in, you really missed a trick. Ash just read her erotic short story that was given, the prompt was at least given to her

by Dan and then you finished the story very very well There was a lovely little story Ash and I'll give you I'll give you props for it. It was a nice story Hmm as a woman writing for women it's all about the emotion the imagining the feeling as opposed to just like Big titties and clothes being ripped off straightaway, which I'm assuming is probably gonna feature heavily in the story I have not read yet. Your story was the appetiser. This is the main course you're about to hear. The meaty main. Okay.

Okay. Okay, so when you hear the ding, that's when the prompt finishes and the boys' writing begins. Okay. Disaster, water gushing everywhere. The kitchen biped, the high-ped burst and I had no idea how to fix it. I had to act fast so I picked up the yellow pages and dialed the first plumber I could find. Minutes later, there was a knock at the door.

There we go. I opened the door, the house now in ankle deep water. There she stood, Natalie from Busty Pipes Plumbing. Interesting you had a man come over to fix the job. Yeah, you're right, you're right, well done. Feminist erotic fiction, tick, I like it. She was actually a better plumber than a man come over to fix the job. Yeah, you're right. Well done. Feminist erotic fiction. Yeah. I like it.

She was actually a better plumber than a man too. Yeah. Yeah, really good. Put it this way, I knew if the water got any higher she wouldn't have any trouble surviving thanks to the two giant flotation devices strapped to her chest in the form of big breasts, if you know what I mean. That's what it makes you not miss it. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Be clear, be clear for your audience. if you know what I mean. What does that mean? We know what you mean. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Be clear, be clear for your audience.

Mmm, everything is so wet in here. I think this is going to be a hard job. That's in capital letters. Hard job. She minced. I took her over to the big leak and she got straight to work. Down on all fours to take a closer look. Back arched as her leather... why's she wearing leather pants? Stan chose the fabric.

I told you! She's wearing some like mighty, you know, like mighty-gee work shorts or something. She's always doing water stuff, so they're waterproof. Waterproof leather pants, that's why she's wearing them. Backarched as her leather pants, tugged from her arse cheeks, revealing the most beautiful

builder's crack I'd ever seen. Wow. Classic overpressure in the feed line. Could have been avoided. She scolded in a telling off tone that sounded dirty out of context. Yeah. That was Clips Light. He's good, hey?

You're all about telling, not showing, aren't you? Have you not turned the water off yet? Oh, sorry. Have you not turned the water off yet? She shouted, just as another loud bang rattled through the wall. A second biped burst, sending water gushing down the hallway, blowing both our pants off! The universe wants them to be together. Yeah. To the waters gushing so hard it's

blown her leather work pants off. And his pants as well. And both of them, like a tsunami. Otherwise it takes too long to undress them both. So they're just standing there now with their pants on. The current picking us up and eventually dropping us on top of one another. Wow. No pets. I took my finger and brushed her hair behind her ear. Okay. Natalie looking deep into my eyes. Before I leave, are there any other pipes I could work my magic on? I stared, stared back confused, her gaze venturing from my eyes down to my waist if you know what I mean Guys it's so bad. Do you know what she means? I know what she means. You didn't even need that. Because usually people that read these novels don't need everything explained

to them. It's very graphic. You can just have things implied. It's because she was gonna do more plumbing. Yeah. And pipes is another word for a dick. Yeah, you know what I mean. I know, I know. Wow. Let's trip that one up as a tie. Is it the first one that doesn't have any girl on girl action appear out of nowhere? Well, we thought you would take the purse if we did another one of those. And it was nice having a helpless man who had a woman fix his problems. I do love, yes, I do love that kind of,

that switch over there, the dynamic shift. That is hot. You're welcome. Yeah, yeah, yeah, pretty exciting stuff. Well done, guys. All right, back again next week as we continue to try and improve. Dan's fanning himself off. Oh my God, I'm like, I'm just all hot and flustered.

Next on the show, Stranger Things has just dropped a teaser for season five. Is it going to live up to the hype? It looks incredible. There's almost too much action in it. Is Mill going to live up to the hype? It looks incredible. There's almost too much action in it. Is Millie Bobby Brown still in it? Yes. Wow. She's like a hundred now though. Are they all grown up? They look much older than the last season. I will say that. Alright, 17 past 7. Your chance to score 10k as well with easy money back at 8 o'clock. Clint, Megan, Dan. Clint, Megan, Dan scandal.

Brought to you by Air New Zealand. Exciting, I guess, news if you're a massive Stranger Things fan, which is maybe half the population. Yeah, I know you guys don't really watch you. You watched the first season, Clint. Yeah, and then there were just too long between drinks for me to like remember what I watched in season one to pick up two. It's my favourite show by far.

Yeah, love it, love it, love it. And- It's kind of supernatural, isn't it? Yeah, it's about, it centers around five kids, set in like the, I think it's early eighties, and some strange goings on in a town, okay? That's basically where it starts. But I do agree with you, Clint,

I've left it too long between the last season, which was over two years ago. What? Since the last season came out. Millie Bobby Brown's married since then. I know. She started out, she was like 11 or something, wasn't she? Younger. Yeah.

Like most, all the kids are into, well into adulthood now. They were like 10, 11 when they first started. Do they still dress them up to look like kids or are they now adults in Stranger Things? Well no, they've grown up with the show, but I think in real life they've grown up more, if you know what I mean. So yeah, they've released the brand new trailer for the new season. It's very intense, the trailer. Here's a little bit of the audio. Wherever this blood leads... I needed to fight one last time.

Let's end this kid. So they're gonna end it like this is the last season. So there is, it's coming out in three little blocks. So the first block of the final season is November 26th so that's volume one. Christmas is volume two. I don't know how many episodes are in each and then the finale which is one big movie like the length final is on New Year's Eve. So it's all done by the end of the year. That's a fun way to do it, put a movie as the last one on New Year's Eve. Yes. Is this kind of like you remember when everyone we talked about how Game of Thrones

is one of the greatest TV shows or TV series of all time. And I'd never really gone past the first season of My Wife and I went back earlier this year and watched all eight seasons. Is this one of those shows that if you've never seen Stranger Things, you should go back now and start? Definitely, I recommend if you've never watched it before

you're into like really intense like drama. It can be scary at times. It's so good. It is genuinely strange at a 3-3-4-3 if you want to see the trailer we'll bounce it back to you. From a mazash though, then when you start getting into it like I was like oh my gosh like Jon Snow and like talking about all these and everyone was like mate people were talking about that like 10 years ago. Yeah no you need just one other person.

And that could just be Jamie but you need someone to kind of do it with you. I've got a bit of a scandal addendum for you, if I may. Pete Davidson, as you know, Ariana, Kim Kardashian's ex. Kate Bickensale? Kate Bickensale as well. It's the BDE, the Big Dick energy that he's famous for. Roster's phenomenal. But he's got a new kind of BDE. Guess what it is? Big Dad energy. He's gonna be a papa. He's impregnated his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt. Look, if I could impregnate Elsie Hewitt, I would.

Yes, I mean, it's Pete Davidson. He's a very good looking young lass. What is with him? Oh, I could talk about it forever. You know, like, because technically I wouldn't say he's the most attractive man. He's definitely not. If you saw him walking down the street, he wouldn't take a second look and go hubba hubba. Yeah. He is the epitome of big dick energy. There is something about the confidence.

He's kind of... He's funny. He knows who he is. He's self-deprecating, but so confident about it. Mmm. Oh, he's so hot. I feel like he's... and he's not trying very hard because he's just such a likeable guy.

He doesn't need to. He has inner confidence. It's the BDE. Yeah. And he has got, if you look BDE up in the dictionary, it would have Pete Davidson. Yeah, true. And then when Ariana Grande is going on a song

telling everyone you've got a big dick, I mean, why would you, like, you just chill from then? There's a standup, but I think he does, if he is joking, where he says like, that's not actually, that, you'd just chill from then. There's a stand-up, but I think he does, if he is joking, where he says, like, that's not actually, that's a disservice to any guy. Because now any girl that is gonna be with him, her expectations are so high that he's like,

even if it is kinda big, it's still not gonna be as big as everyone's thinking it is, because Ariana's not stop, won't stop talking about it. Yeah, true. Maybe that was her way of getting back at him afterwards. She's like, I'm like, you know that one thing you've got going for you? I'm going to make it a bit disappointing. That's why I stand by SDE.

Standard Dick Energy. Yeah, that's what the SDE is. It lifted me up a little bit from what I was actually thinking. Small Dick Energy, of course. Thank you very much. Alright, Scandal brought to you by Air New Zealand's Dream Seat. Where would you like to go in the world? What is the dream that they can help make a reality for you? We're gonna grant

somebody's dream coming up inside the next five. We've given away return flights to Texas, Hawaii and Australia. Who's going where next? All right for the next week and a half we're giving you the chance to win an Air New Zealand Dream Seat. All you have to do is sell us your ambitious dream, tell us how you've been working towards it, and if you can sell it better than the other two, you're going. The world's your oyster. Think big with this.

Like dream come true stuff. Where would you go? I think I'd actually go to Broadway or something and try my hand at auditioning. I love that! I genuinely would. That's where I wanna go then, because I wanna see how it goes. Your dream is just to laugh.

I wanna go and dream is to sit there and watch because Dan will come back with some beer story about how it went down. I'm there just for a sec. He nearly got the part, but at the very last minute. Yeah. Yeah. So the first person that's gonna pitch their dream to us

is Emma this morning. Good morning, Emma. So the first person that's gonna pitch their dream to us is Emma this morning. Good morning, Emma. Good morning. You're in Dunedin. Where's your dream gonna take you? I'm actually in Blenheim now, but my love for bonsai originated in Dunedin, so I really, really want to go to Tokyo.

So you're talking about the trees, the little bonsai trees? Yeah, yeah. And what's there? What's in Tokyo that's going to help you kind of achieve this dream? There's a village which is like north of the city centre, and it's like where all the masters and like key craftsmen, they all live there and they dedicate their lives to this art form. That's beautiful.

It's a very specific dream. I like it. In a world that's going mad, there's something very calming and ancient and peaceful about bonsai. Is that part of the appeal Emma? Yeah, I used to go to the Chinese gardens in Dunedin and I used to sit and I watched the guy who would just take care of them every time I was really stressed. Wow.

So are you going to bring it back to New Zealand one day? Like is that the dream at the end of the... I would like to have like maybe a place to appreciate them, but they're very expensive. Okay, well you've got a dream. You think the smaller the tree, the cheaper it would be. Yeah, but you have to care for them. They take a lot of care, bonsai. Okay, let's go to Jamie.

What's your dream, Jamie? Good morning, team. Good morning. My morning, my dream is to travel to South America, go to Peru, and do the Inca Trail. Okay. So yeah, I was a kid of the 80s, grew up on all those adventure movies. And one of my faves was Indiana Jones. Oh yeah, of course.

Yeah, and then I got hooked and we did some research as a kid. I just got, yeah, went crazy on it. So I've always wanted to do it. How do you go in the altitude? Because you know it's very high up, you can get very sick. Yeah, I don't know. They've got those coca leaves though, so those are well... Yeah, yeah.

I'll find out soon. Well, that's an amazing feat to do the Inca Trail. Yeah. You know, see Machu Picchu and stuff like that. And finally, Sam, pitch us your dream. Morning. Before we make the decision. Morning.

I am pitching the Great Wall Marathon. 42.2 kilometres over 5,000 steps, 23, 243 metre elevation gain. It's just, it's my dream to run this. How many marathons would you say you've run so far, Sam? So I've run no marathon. This is first. I've run two half marathons. Oh, that's good.

I've been studying for an exam so my arse has got flat, but I'm hitting the steer trainer. I'm running across Tamaki Drive with the Gymshark girlies. Okay, hell of a marathon to take on as your first. The Great Wall. Okay, they're a marathon to take on as your first. The Great Wall. Okay, they're all great dreams, but I think- Will he make it if he's never done one?

I know, I think I know we all are great. Yeah. Bonsai's the one. Bonsai. I'm horny for the bonsai. Yeah, she's wanting to open like a gallery in New Zealand. Bring bonsai to New Zealand. So people can come and admire the bonsai. Yeah.

She wants to learn from the masters. All right. Emma. Yes? The dream seat's yours. You're going to Japan, baby? Thank you. I think you have a great dream.

I feel like this could come to fruition. I want to see, I want to attend your bonsai appreciation gallery. Thank you so much. Yeah. You know, the one word you need to learn before you go to Japan is oishi, which means delicious because you just eat so much delicious food and then you just look at them and you go oishi and they go ah ah ah. Oh great.

And they love it. That's the one word you need. Everything else does it better. Emma get your passport and order alright and you hold beer and you're going to grab your details. Congratulations. Awesome thank you so much. Oh you're very welcome. I. Congratulations. Awesome, thank you so much.

Oh, you're very welcome. I love it. Thanks, New Zealand. Yeah, if you've got a dream, E! New Zealand's got your seat, you can apply now at the edge.roba.nz or at dreamsseats.co.nz and we'll do it again tomorrow.

We did check it off with the boss, didn't we? Yeah, yeah. Did we forget to do that? Because we were just talking about other stuff for the last three minutes. Oh, we don't check stuff off with the boss on the show. We just do it. So I will be heading to Sydney next week

to interview Ed Sheeran. Wow. Interview is a loose term. Cause it sounds cool. When you say it like that, you go, wow, this is epic. You know, I love Ed. I've chatted many times over the years. The first time was before he was famous.

So he just sat there for ages and kept talking. And then my boss was like, can you get this guy out of the studio? We've got stuff to do. And I was like, well, they won't leave. I once went next to him. Did you? Yeah, he was in for an interview.

I was at another radio station that was an interviewing Ed. And I'd just gone to the bathroom and we had urinal there. And he came in and we like- He used the urinal. Right next to me. I would assume that Ed Sheeran would go into this cubicle to do away. No, no, he came straight in, just like a normal guy.

This was like after his, maybe first or second album. Wow. And so he was super famous. That's the thing about Ed, he really has no sense of fame about him. No. Even now you meet him and he's like, just such a normal dude.

He's lovely. Did you look? Tried to have a little peek. Maybe that's why I'm going to Sydney next week and not you. Yeah, maybe. Maybe you're on some sort of list. He tried to look at my dick one time. Yeah, yeah.

I couldn't see it though. Because you can't lean too much. You sort of have to do the look but not move your head. If you know what I mean. Your head, like the top. The head on your neck. Yeah, on the neck. Now, Ash, I was like, oh, that's cool.

So Ash is going to be over in Aussie and she's still going to patch in and do the neck. Now, Ash, I was like, oh, that's cool. So Ash's gonna be over in Aussie and she's still gonna patch in and do the show. So it'd be cool when you get a great get for the show. And then I was like, and you get to like hang out with Ed Sheeran, who's just like the loveliest, most accommodating celebrity in the world. A beautiful human being.

Then I heard, you're not gonna be rubbing shoulders because he's in the UK and you're doing it over Zoom. Yeah, yeah, I guess worse. And then I said, does Ash know we have Zoom in New Zealand? Because that's like the whole beauty of Zoom, is you don't need to go anywhere. Yeah, look, all of these details were given to me after the flights were booked. I'm not going to lie, boys.

And yeah, I was imagining a sit-down interview. It's more of a press conference situation where I will be given one question. That's the kicker. So let me get this straight. You're flying over to Australia to do a Zoom question to Ed Sheeran. Correct.

Wow. The only other person that I know in my time on radio that has had the whole one question caveat, like you can interview them, but you only get one question, Oprah. Oh Oprah answered now insurance at Oprah level where he goes one question sorry guys so many people want to speak to me I only got time for one. I just want to say Ed would never make that call it'll be someone else. It'll be his team. Ed's the best like anytime they've ever been

like on a time schedule like you've only got three minutes, every time Ed's been like, oh, how many questions do you want? Go for it. So maybe that's why Steve have gotten so tired now. Maybe, otherwise it's gonna be a 12 hour press conference. But I will say, this is cool. Because at the end of the day, there's people listening,

probably thousands of people listening right now that would kill to ask Ed Sheeran one question. We've interviewed him before, but someone out there maybe has this question that they're like, you could take said question, Ash, to Australia and ask Ed himself that question. And then do you know what he might say, which is every interviewer's dream?

I've never been asked that before. Oh! Or even better, they go, oh my God, that's such a great question. Oh, that happened with me with Noel Gallagher once, and I didn't even listen to the rest of the people. No, I was just gonna say, I never even hear what they say because I'm so like, wait, I'm just spending time

patting myself on the back. Exactly, you don't even listen. You're like, I'm the best, I'm the best as ever been. I am a goddess of interviews. Yeah, he's only gonna want me to interview for the rest of his life. I do not envy you though, because even having a 10 minute interview

and bringing that back from an overseas trip is nerve wracking because you're like, is it good enough for all the money spent and the time away? You get one question and probably one answer to justify your time away and the expense that somebody has paid to get you there. Away from my son, away from my husband. Oh it's for two days. Give us a call 0800 DEDGE text 33343. What is the question? What do you ask Ed if you only get one?

That would conjure up an incredible answer and response and something that maybe most people wouldn't know about Ed. And we're representing Aotearoa. You're representing the entire nation with one question to zero. It needs to be open-ended, not a yes or no, eh? It's gotta be open-ended. Oh yeah, don't drop the ball there. So you've been loving Australia? Yep.

And Patekuala. Dan's laughing at some of the questions that are coming through. To get you quickly up to speed, Ash London is going over to Australia to host a press conference with Ed Sheeran, who's going to be on Zoom, because he's in the UK,

and everyone gets one question. So what is the question that you would ask that would justify and warrant the expense and time away? I love our listeners. So I'm gonna just text through, this is the question you ask. Imagine this, press conference full of the world's media. Ed Sheeran on a Zoom.

Ash London comes in and she gets her one question and they ask this person's question. Yalbaikia Knob. The best part is the text says, how big his knob slash dick is, as if we didn't know what a knob was. So he's given us two words. Oh, she's given us two words to really hit home. Do you know what?

Ed Sheeran is probably one of the celebrities that actually answer that, because he is an unbelievably open book. What would you say, though? How, if you read Sharon, you could have gone massive, you could have gone. It's also, you say that it's crazy, but it's not the craziest question that has been thrown around on the edge before.

You may remember an interview that Meg did with Lewis Capaldi, who I guess is also just as much of an open book as Ed Sheeran, when she asked him this question and he responded with an answer we've never heard on the edge before. Is there any question that you want to be asked Lewis that nobody's asked you yet in all of the interviews that I'm sure you're sick and tired of today? Ask me something crazy. Oh okay who was the last person you f****** baited to? Oh god's sake, do you know who Abela Danger is?

She's pretty big, she's Abela Danger, everyone look her big, she's a belle of danger. Everyone look her up. She's supremo. She's great. I love that he answered. He is the loosest unit to interview on the planet. He's the best. He's so lovely as well. He's just the best. Yeah, genuine man.

Well, Ash can take your question over to Australia and ask Ed Sheeran. That's what we're throwing out there. I'm not going to ask him about his knob size. No. I've got some professional integrity I need to maintain. I think what about this Ash, this is kind of like, it's a little cheeky because you're getting a little more bang for your buck even though you've only been told you get one question.

Tell us the story behind the last five photos you've taken on your phone. He doesn't have a phone. Oh I want to drop ball from me there. I'm sorry mate I I'm rocking the Nokia. So yeah, don't take pics next. Or it is an iPad, so maybe he does take photos on the iPad. But my mate Liam, a couple of years ago took some photos for him as part of a tour. And now he loved him so much. Now Liam just travels the world taking photos for Ed Sheeran.

Really? He's like his personal photographer. Because they say a photo speaks a thousand words. So if you ask them about five photos, that's five thousand words. Boom, dash white. Yeah, see, maths. Easy maths. Yeah.

Yeah, well we'll get there. We're gonna think of a great question. Yeah. There's someone out there that's sitting on a gym for me that's gonna make us all look so good. Yeah, and also it is high risk, because what if he's like, oh, my kid had my phone actually,

so the last 15 photos are just close-ups of his chin. Yeah, which is what kids do. There's more text coming through there, just smutty. So just something a little bit above board that doesn't make Ash look like an absolute creep. The curtains match the drapes. No, Ash cannot ask you churn, because of course they do. Of course they do. What is he going to say? No, actually my pebs are black.

Let's keep it above board. Yes, and above the crotch. Yes, but something that's a little bit interesting. Actually, I don't mind the idea of the secret question. You put it in an envelope and give it to Ash, and she doesn't know what she's going to ask Ed until she, like, literally opens it up and then has to read it. That is my nightmare. That makes me want to throw up on this desk.

And that is why we're probably going to do that. Damn it. Imagine the whole, like, three and a half hour flight, just desperately wanted to open the envelope. You would. You'd open it. And also, I three and a half hour flight just desperately wanted to open the envelope. You would. You'd open it. And also I'm in a room full of my peers in Australia that I've like... No, we have to just email it to her seconds before the interview.

Yeah that's right so so Luke we played um Wednesday we were like someone has to win it before the show ends. I think it took about an hour and a half of playing Easy Money before someone won and you were going to be next. I was I was nervous and uh oh. So where you just sat on hold and just heard her celebrating

No. Yeah, would have been nice to have this. I missed on the first one. I don't even know what I said. Yeah, I'm not even going to repeat what you said. Yeah, I've forgotten it too. You know those moments where your brain just goes, yeah, and I don't think a gun is an official type of muscle.

I love that though. I put a question mark on that. I love that. I don't think a gun is an official type of muscle. I'd put a question mark on it, I wasn't sure. If he got the other nine I think we would have given him some. All right, BNZ believes that when you're starting out managing your money should be easy so you can focus on winning at whatever you were doing. Easy money back. Thanks to BNZ at 3 o'clock this afternoon with their Jarvos. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Ash, we are the show. If something happens to you, you go, oh my God, what are the chances?

That's crazy. You call us. We love a coincidence. Have you played this with us before? I don't think so. I've heard it though, because I do listen to the show. In Australia, we say coinkydink. Is that something you say here?

Yeah. I like that. Coinkydink. So, Anne that something you say here? Yeah, yeah. I like that. Coinkydink. So, Anne-Marie is going to kick us off and if you go, oh that's pretty good Anne-Marie, that's cute, but I can beat that coincidence. You call us, let us know, I'll wait 100 at the edge. But Anne-Marie reckons she's got a great one. Morning Anne-Marie.

Hi, how are you? Good. Now, you can hit us with your coinkydinkdink. Thank you. And we can be the judge, but it sounds like it's a good one. I reckon. So growing up, my dream car was a convertible VW and it had to be purple. And so I was looking on TradeMe

and I seen my dream car. And the coincidence is the guy that I bought it off, his name was Gordon. And it was the same name as my dad's name who passed away 24 years ago. Right. And then the next coincidence is he lived in Pukaui, Waikou, which is where my dad come from.

And the guy that I bought it off was best friends with my cousin. Okay, so there's like double connection, same name as your papa, from the same place, already a bit weird because they've got your dream car and colour and then he knows your cousin as well. And there aren't so many purple VWs I would imagine going around. No, not many. And so had your dad passed away at this point?

Yes, yeah I only bought it about a year ago. So it sounds like if you're into this sort of thing, the woo-woo stuff, you'd go, Dad's pulling some strings up in heaven and this has all come together coincidental. I like it. Yes, it's beautiful. When there's more than one coincidence

that beefs up the initial coincidence. I mean, Gordon isn't a really popular name either. True that. And we were the last time you met a Gordon. Yeah, and this sets us up a great base for Beat That coincidence. Anne-Marie is the high watermark at the moment. Okay, how's the old car going for you Anne-Marie by the way? It's parked up in the shed at the moment.

It's parked up in the shed. Yeah, classic Volkswagen. Sorry I thought you said something else, I'm glad you said parked up. Yeah. Yeah, classic Volkswagen. Yeah. Sorry I thought he said something else. I'm glad you said parked up. Thank you very much. Get on your own, Marie. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Love that.

We got vouchers to give away that you can go spend in store at Zed. If you want to get amongst the new Thai chicken curry pie, if you've got a coincidence and you go, ayah, mine will blow your socks off. Yeah, and if anybody's looking for a purple VW, Anne-Marie's got a great deal on one. And if anybody's looking for a purple VW, Emmery's got a great deal on one.

What a coincidence. Love a good coincidence. Me too, cause the world is such a magical place, right? We, so often we live in this world and we think, yes, science and rules and yada, yada, yada. And we forget that the fact that we're even on this earth is so insane and magical that there's no logical reason to any of it so when coincidences happen I don't know it's just

a reminder that anything's possible. We're hanging on to the earth traveling at 16 000 kilometers an hour around the sun and half of us are doing it upside down at the moment. Yeah that's a coincidence. This one, this feeds perfectly into your introduction there. Ash. Ash. I forgot your name what a coincidence. No it's not. This guy I went to high school with, an acquaintance at best, so I'm guessing they knew each other but not well at high school. I've seen him. I've seen him in five different locations around the world in the last 15 years. She's listed them. Disney World as a kid, some beach bar in Thailand, the Bean in Chicago, a pub in Budapest and a library in San Jose, Costa Rica. He's stalking out. He's stalking us. Or the universe is trying to tell them to just get together.

Oh yeah, okay that's another one. Yeah, either or. Could be both. But I actually think that stalking is actually more likely because what are the chances if he's not deliberately doing it? Yeah, I'd be a bit freaked out by that really. Chris. Yeah, I'd be like you again. Go away. Psycho.

Chris is here on Islander to the Edge. Morning Chris. Morning team, how are you? Good mate. Good to meet that coincidence my friend. What have you got? Oh look, I've got a beauty for you. About 10 years ago I bought an old Triumph motorcycle off a cousin of mine who was on the west coast of the South Island who unfortunately passed away. So I bought it off the estate.

Yep. on the west coast of the South Island, who unfortunately passed away. So I bought it off the estate. And anyway, I was doing this triumph up and I got the original ownership papers. And the original ownership papers had a name that was very familiar to me because years before that, when I was very, very young, because I'm obviously very young now, not, had a cousin of mine who knocked on the door that no one knew even existed

and ended up that her partner's name was on the ownership papers and they did their courting on this motorbike many, many moons ago when they first bought it. So the connection was just bizarre. So you bought it from one cousin after they'd passed away and then you discovered the original owner was a long lost cousin who had wooed, well, your cousin's partner, who'd wooed your cousin on the bike. Yeah.

A different cousin. Yes, correct. Wow. Yeah. That is a good coincidence because again, it brings into multiple different things to one great coincidence. Like the motorbike will only be ridden by someone from his family. Yeah, it's gotta be a cousin to ride the bike.

Fran thinks she's got one that can even beat that. What's yours, Fran? Yeah, so I was at a party one day and I was speaking to my friend and I saw a guy out the side of my eye and I said, I think I know that guy, it's his name, Michael. And she goes, yeah, that's him. So I went up and I spoke to him. I said, hey, are you Michael Wilson? I think we went to primary school together. He goes, yeah, that's me. And we started chatting. And about 30 minutes into the chat, I mentioned our primary school. And he goes, no, no, no, I didn didn't go to that so I went to this different school so he looks like Michael Wilson his name was Michael Wilson but he was not the Michael Wilson that I went to school with.

Shut up Fran! Shut up and get out of here! That is good now we've got one more person to go to. That's not beatable. Do we have time, Tracey? Can you explain yours quickly? Can you beat Fran's coincidence? I'll give it a go. So many, many years ago, my husband and I started a new relationship. We went on a double date with my uncle and his partner.

Anyway, so we checked into the activity and my husband said a surname and my uncle goes to him, oh that's my surname. He's like, but there's no way we'll be related because I'm fostered. And my husband goes, well I'm fostered as well. So they got to chatting about their stories and after discovering a lot of things it turns out they were biological half-brothers. Shut up. Wait, so you're on a blind date with a random guy and your auntie and uncle and then you find out that this random guy you're on a date with is related to your uncle they're actually brothers.

Yeah, biological half brothers. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, trust me, that went through my mind for a fleeting second, but then I realised, no, no, no, my uncle's actually not blood related to me. Oh, yeah. I still want to see your family tree, Trace, before we go to the wedding. They're not related. That's amazing. You're on a date hoping to meet the love of your life

and you meet your brother that you didn't know he was, and the love of your life. I think it's our best one yet. Hey, Trace, where in the country are you? I'm in Prostich one yet. Hey, Trace, where in the country are you? I'm in Christchurch. Yeah. Okay. Wow.

You take your uncle's brother on a date because we're going to give you a prize. How many people are dating their uncles or they're in Christchurch? It might sound real creepy, but it wasn't. It's not creepy, it was amazing and beautiful, so shut up. Come on, man. Have you guys had kids?

Yes and no, perfectly healthy things. Oh no, no, no, I was just wondering if you had children. Good sake. This could have happened by logic. He wanted to imagine the happy ending. Yeah, I just wanted to know you've got a beautiful family and stuff. I don't want to know if they will pay.

Oh, that's so cool. Lovely. I love that. Yeah, so great, Trace. That is a great coincidence. We're going to sort you all out with vouchers that go to Spend'n Store at Zed so you can go smash the new Thai chicken curry pie at Zed.

Thanks, Trace. Amazing. Thanks, guys. What a run of coincidences. Trace is walking through the world with that story in her back pocket. Like you're out to dinner, people tell you amazing stories,

she's just sitting there smug. Like no one's gonna bet my story. Yeah, every time someone does a how they met story I'm like okay hold my beer I'd start with he's not related though please gotta start with Clint, Megan, Dan stinky boo we lost one of the goodies one of the great

eg's in Mitch when he walked out of the office to quite the fanfare walked out makes you sound makes it sound like he stormed out one day he's like I I'm outta here. Yeah, we gave him the edge song as he left and walked under the tunnel of arms. And there were a lot of tears as well to see Mitch leave and he was starting his OE journey over in Belgium in Tomorrowland. I even saw when he opened up the package that was sent to him for his Tomorrowland ticket. It was phenomenal. What a dream.

It's like Steve Aoki, David Guetta, Armand Van Puren, Van Helden. I don't know. That's like the Holy Grail, isn't it, of festivals? Yeah, and European festivals are on another level. Like there's so many people, they're so well organised. It's unbelievable. And maybe if you had to put together a top five things of the worst things that could happen with Tomorrowland,

one of them would be main stage burning down. One day before the festival's due to start. And the main stage at Tomorrowland is like of them would be main stage burning down. Which is- One day before the festival is due to start. And the main stage at Tomorrowland is like the most epic. It's not really a stage, it's like, it looks like a city. It looks like the Disneyland castle. Yeah. It's so insane.

So currently right now as we speak, I think it is burning. Yeah, they've gotten under control and they are confident that the festival is gonna go forward, which is insane, given that it's less than 24 hours away. And thanks to the power of technology, Mitch joins us live from Europe. Good morning, Mitch. G'day, guys. You're the hates not my right for being on the edge nowadays.

Oh, he's been working on that one. God, you left us for like three days and we're already calling you. Hey. I know you're desperate. Wish it was under better circumstances. This is horrific news because I know you've been fizzed about this for what, a year probably? Yeah, yeah.

I've been before and it is the most incredible event and so heading back over this way I was like, I have to go back to Tomorrowland. It's a bit of a process to get tickets So like you're committed you're up at like 5 a.m With you know, there's 200,000 people that go to this festival Like it is really really hard to get tickets. And so yes was very very excited Was meant to be getting on the train tomorrow still am but yes the pictures for the videos coming out of the festival today Not that great when the incredible main stage that they put so much effort into

is completely burnt down. So yeah, it's a bit shit, I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, there's probably people listening right now that have friends and loved ones that are going along like you, Mitch. Have you had any coms from Tomorrowland about what the what the situation is? Is it still going ahead? Are they gonna cancel it? Yeah, so they've put out a statement. Luckily, all the crew and staff working at Tomorrowland, they were all safe, so no injuries

or anything from the fire. Because obviously there's a lot of gas and pyrotechnics and all that kind of stuff. So it's a pretty big fire that is fire that is just, you know, going. But they've said, they've put out a statement saying they're still welcoming the 38,000 campers, including me, uh, tomorrow, all the travelers, uh, that have brought travel packages through them, uh, we'll still be going in tomorrow for the campers night. Um, and from what it sounds like they're still going to be pushing ahead with the

festival minus the main stage. But they're still basically working through what their plans are. So to me it sounds like they're padding for a bit of time. Let's get the campers in, let's do the campers night and work out how we can kind of make this thing happen. Yeah, I don't know whether they throw you a little discount or whatever. You know, credit some of your ticket price. If anybody can pull it together though and make it happen as Belgium. Absolutely, precision organisation.

Yeah. And it is the best festival in the world. Like they will be working their asses off to make whatever their alternative plan is work. Luckily there are like 17 other stages. It's just this one is the main incredible one. But yeah, look, I'm sure they will make it happen, but we are still a little bit on edge of like,

are we gonna turn up to Belgium, do a night, and then be stuck there for three more days until our train out on Monday. But I think it's gonna be- The hotels would be really cheap if there was 200,000 extra people looking for a cover. Yeah, a bit. Exactly.

You'll be right, Mitchie. Yeah. Well, thank you, Mitch. And I love camping. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He loves camping, yes. Oh, if you know Mitch, yeah, he loves to rough it. One of the biggest campers. Yeah. I will say, I will say Mitch, thank you very much for being our European correspondent. We're going to cross you again in the next couple of days, mid-ping, and see how it's going. Check's in the mail Mitch. No worries, I'll send the invoice. Yes. Yeah, I'm not sure what state Mitch will be in if we call him in a couple of days from now.

Send it to Ash London at the edge. Love you guys. Love you too Mitchie, have a blast bro. See ya. Oh man. Clint, Meg and Dan. And we're learning a lot about each other cause you know, we're brand new friends.

And then something that Dan and I were taken aback by is how quickly you fell in love and married, you and our husband. Yeah, kind of a year and two months between our first date and walking down the aisle. My question to you is, before we move on, have you since found out stuff about your husband that you go, oh god, I wish I'd sort of known that.

He's such an open book and he's so uncomplicated that I knew that there was nothing, no skeletons in the closet. And when we're older, like when you're older and you get together, I think you just kind of get more stuff out on the table really quickly because you can't be bothered. I've heard so many people speak about her husband, Adrian,

and I've never heard anyone say a bad word. You know, like sometimes you hear like a thing where people be like, oh yeah, he's nice, but he does this. Never not once. He's one of those people that if someone had a problem with him, you automatically know that they're the problem. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Because this is no world in which, yeah, he's just a nice dude. And that's why you married him. Yeah, evens me out a bit, you know, balances it out. How long from meeting to engaged? I laid eyes on him for the first time in November and he proposed exactly a year later. Oh, so there was a two month gap

between engagement to marriage? Like to wedding? We got engaged in November, married in May. Awesome, yeah, a few months. So it was a quick engagement and then a quick dating. So we met at the ARI, which is the Australian Music Awards, and then a year later he was late to the Arias and I was annoyed at him because he was picking up the ring.

The thing is, because when I got engaged, I'd spent all my money on the ring. So then you need at least another two years to save for the wedding. Otherwise we would have done the same. Okay, because who was more thirsty for who? Because it all happened so quick. You must both be pretty thirsty.

He was a mutual thirst. Right. It was a reciprocal horn. It would have to be that way, I would think. Yes, definitely. Can we do shortest time from meeting to married? Can you be one year and two months? You tell us a story and then I'd love to guess at the end whether you're still together. Love it. Because I guess the... We presume that if it burns brightly so fast, it goes out. Or if you don't ask enough questions, you don't do enough recon before you get in, then you just really get to know them once you're married.

And sometimes... I mean, if you're both thirsty, great. If one's really thirsty and the other's like, oh, yeah, sure, I guess. You know what I mean? And you say yes in the moment, but you're not really sure because you haven't given it... You haven't had enough time to give it thought. Well, there's an anonymous caller

that joins us on the line right now. We're going to call you Jane. Good morning. Oh, voice disguise? No, no, no, no need for voice disguise. Okay. Morning, Jane. No, I don't need a voice disguise.

Okay, great. What was the timeframe between meeting and married? Sure, so we met in September, married in, sorry, engaged Christmas day December, married in March. Wow! Damn! And so are you still together now and is it still a happy... I'd take a stab in the sense they got engaged in Christmas Day.

I think you're around family, you don't want to make a scene, you're in the festive season. You're high on the festive spirit. Yes, I feel like you might have jumped the gun, said yes, and then later on, and the way that you're like laughing, you want to be anonymous? I'm thinking you're probably still not together. So you're saying they're not together? No, I don't think so. OK.

We are definitely not together. Definitely. And so, so your advice to people is court for longer. Wait. Yeah. OK, so what, OK, you're saying, Rita, what did you find out when you were married you're like have I'd known this I would never have agreed to it. And keep in mind you are live on the radio so keep it PG. Yeah of course. Absolutely. So my sister was living in

Wellington and she was on the bus one day up there and the girl in front of her was on Tinder swiping and my sister sister was like, oh, that's interesting. Looked over her shoulder and saw my husband's picture of the Tinder thing. They matched. And yeah. Wow. He lied his way out of it.

Oh, so they'd matched so it wasn't like... Someone had hacked Tinder. Yeah, so it wasn't like he'd accidentally left his profile going. He had swiped her too. Unbelievable. Oh my gosh. How quickly. What a way to get caught out. Your sister is on a bus and looks over somebody else's shoulder. That person is on Tinder. In a different city.

In a different city. Oh, the universe was like, Jane, you need out of this marriage and I'm going to do everything I can to help you. How big was his radius? His gender radius that he was swiping at other cities. Oh my god. Yeah, there's other stuff too. So what was it? We've got children in Brazil and America.

All this stuff came out after we split. And I was 28 weeks pregnant when I found out that he'd been ripping the company he was working for off. So 28 weeks pregnant and we had our previous two children before that. So because you've got a kid to him you've still got to see the dropkick. This is like Dirty John, have you seen that TV show? The podcast Dirty John? It's like that. Oh my god, okay so what was that September through to?

Was it married in March? Okay can anyone beat that? Shortest time from meat to married and then we're going to have a crack as to whether you're actually still together or not. Yeah can we find a good story, good ending. Some make it work. Shortest time from meeting to married. Tell us what the time frame was, we'll guess if you're still together or not. Yeah this has gone off there's so many people messaging through and I think it's a good sign if you're like man they're the one for me let's just do it. Yeah. Usually you can... I

always wonder what's the rush, because if you're gonna be together for the rest of your life. Bit of fun, have a wedding. Yeah. Some people just get carried away in the fun of it all. Mm, or it's the next thing they need to tick off. Yeah. You know, they're like career, marriage, kids, house.

Yeah, and for women as well, there's a biological clock, and if you're in your 30s, you think, I've gotta lock this down, if I don't want to miss the boat. All right, Megan's here, 0800 The Edge. Morning, Megan. Morning. Take us through the timeline. So you've met and then what happened?

Okay, so we met in May. We moved in together within two days. He told me he loved me within two weeks. We got engaged within three months. He even asked my dad for permission and we were married within nine months. We got engaged within three months. He even asked my dad for permission and we were married within nine months. Wow. And so what did your dad say out of interest when he asked for your hand? He said yes.

Was there any concerns from your family that you'd just met this guy? No, because they saw how happy I was and how happy he made me. Oh, happy I was. Was. But I'm thinking, like, Dad's got a pretty good read you'd like to think on a situation. If he's going to say yes, maybe this dude just was that cool and they are still together. I think from her tone, something's gone awry. I think from her tone, they're still together.

Yeah. There's no anger in her tone. It's very factual. Yeah, I'm with Ash and I think the dad signing off on it says a lot about maybe who the guy was. Okay, I'm gonna go against you guys. Are you still together? We will be happily married for 20 years in February.

Yes! Wow! Good on you! Good on you! How good is that? That is amazing. Megan, are you generally a good decision maker? Like you make good decisions?

No. This is it. No, no. This is a good decision maker? Like you make good decisions? No. No? No. If you go off my track record of men, no. But I just feel it's just something different about hubby. We only need to make one thing. 20 years in February. Congratulations. That's amazing. That's a great story. Well that's one for it.

Yeah. Okay, should we go to someone else? Yeah, okay. Let's go to Norma Jean. Norma, good bye. Back from the gym. Hi. Good morning Norma.

Hey Norms. Hi everyone. Okay, shortest time from meeting to married. What was your timeline? So we met in May, saw pregnant in June, got it, no sorry, we met in April, felt pregnant in May,

got engaged in June and married in July. Far out! Oh, that's a good one! She's a shotgun wedding, we know that straight up. That's kind of, yep. Oh, okay, I'm thinking the baby thing fast forwarded the timeline that you wouldn't normally have chosen. So that makes me think you've been forced into a timeline

you wouldn't have normally operated on, which makes me lean towards maybe not together. I'm gonna say they've broken up. Yeah, I think this is a sad ending. Norma? Not married for 11 years. Oh! Oh my God!

I'm glad to be wrong. Wow! Love it! Okay, well this is good. Wow! It's going well. Wait, did you do that thing where you pretended when you guys were getting married that you weren't pregnant

so you weren't having like a baby out of wedlock or whatever it was? No, everyone knew. That's part of it though. You go into it eyes wide open, you're not lying, everyone knows what we're in for. Everybody's like we're going on a shotgun wedding this weekend. I love that. Okay, we're one from two, we need one more to get the pass. Okay, Mark. How's it going gang? Oh good mate.

Better than things down with you Mark what's going on? Yes I've met my partner in Anzac Day on my OE late April and yeah we got engaged Novemberish and married by Christmas that same year. And I'm assuming you proposed, Mark? Yeah. And why was such a quick engagement? Why just a month between getting engaged and getting married? Well, I'd always planned on coming home for my mender's 60th the following year.

And I said to her, hey, if you want to come with me, come with me. And yeah. OK. I'm going to say that I'd love to go for the three Pete here, three successfuls. But I don't know, I don't like this. Ash, what are you again? You've been pretty good.

Yep. Mark's still with his wife. I think they've broken up. Okay, we're saying you've split. 17 and a half years. It's the way to go! Do it really quickly! Anyone who's listening, just put a ring on it now, man.

Get them pregnant, meet them overseas, whatever it is. Don't even research about them, don? Meet them overseas, whatever it is. Don't even research about them, no Googling. Stop mucking around. I mean, outside of the first caller we had, where obviously she found out her kids in Brazil and stuff, that's gotta be uncommon. Very rare.

Yeah, good for you, Mark. If you're listening on the Rover app right now and you're on the bus and you like the look of someone on the bus, just propose. Just to someone next to you. How many girls are currently driving to work with their partner sitting in the proposal waiting room going, seven years, John, these guys are getting married

in months. Sorry guys. There's a lot of guys that have tried to change the radio station of the car this morning. Hey, very, very exciting. If you were listening this time yesterday, we found out this whole topic was sparked from Ash, obviously, meeting to married very very quickly but

when you meet your now husband he had a girlfriend you got us to the part where he had broken up with her you hadn't heard from him in a month and then you went out for coffee and we thought the story was over and then you said oh I want to know what happened after the coffee's so much more to it. Oh gosh. Okay we get part two. Chapter two of the Ash London story. Love story. Yeah will they stay together, will they break up. Imagine this is how I announced that Adrian and I are getting a divorce. Oh imagine. Radio water. But I haven't told him yet. Well he'll be listening now, he's gonna to stick around during the airbreak, that's for sure. We'll get him on live as well.

Clint, Megan, Dan. We got a story from Ash which we're going to pick up at the gong because we only had like three minutes. Yeah, okay. So correct me if I'm wrong, but you meet a guy, love at first sight. You say I'm going to, you literally said I'm going to marry that man. Yeah, before I met him. Then you find out he has a girlfriend who's just moved states for him and he knows that

he has to break up with her if he wants to keep seeing you. Yeah because we said like, can I just go now? So we said we can't be friends like we can't be friends at this point so see you later call me if anything changes. In the meantime my producer was out one day in Cotteria in Melbourne shopping and he called me. I'm like, why are you calling me on a Saturday? He's like, I'm at Myers, which is like our farmers, and AB's here with his girlfriend and her family. And I was like, what? So he was following them around the department store. And he's like,

he does not look into this relationship. No, like, she's talking to him. And he's not even making, he looks bored. He doesn't want to be there. So I'm like, okay, I'm in here. I feel like, I feel like they're wrapping this up. There's good producing. Take notes, Carl. Some of the best producing I've ever seen in my life. Brilliant producing. So then he comes to Sydney for a meeting and he says, oh, do you want to, can I take you out for a coffee? And I was like, oh, well, we kind of agreed that, you know, we wouldn't

hang out because he had a girlfriend. I was like, oh, I like I can't say no all right so then we walk into the cafe and they were supposed to go overseas to get on this big overseas trip and I was like so you're getting ready for your trip he said yes but um I'll just be going on that trip alone and then I which was his way of saying I'm single now. Why wouldn't he just say oh we broke up? Well because that's how he said it I said I'm looking forward to your trip and he yeah, but I'll be going alone. Because we didn't want to sound too desperate. Yeah, exactly. Like, oh, I broke up for you. For you, because I'm so in love with you. Yeah. So then I have to like pretend to be a bit like, oh, hope everything's okay,

but I can't stop smiling. You're like fist pumping under the table. I'm loving myself sick. So then there was a moment, just a brief moment where he was like, well I've paid for a ticket. Do you want to come to Mexico, New York and Cuba? And then we're like, no, that's too much. That would look like we cheated. Yeah, you're right. But also, like, love AB, I'm sure he's listening. Sucker.

He is our boss too, by the way. Yeah, yeah. That's why Clint's going. Sucker. He is our boss too by the way. Yeah yeah. That's why Clint's going love him. It's like surely if you're the ex and you're like yeah you take the trip whatever because I don't want to pay for it. Yeah. And then you find that your partner who's just broken up he was taking another chick overseas. That's why I couldn't go with him. So then he goes on the trip, right? He's like, I'm so sure. He spends every night FaceTiming me, obviously. And then one night while he's on the trip, because we've been chatting, flirting on FaceTime,

we're chatting and when we say goodbye, I say, all right, bye, love you. And then I just hung up on him. I accidentally said, I love you. You didn't accidentally do it. We weren't even dating yet. Oh my God, Ash, that's so, like, I love you. You didn't accidentally do it. We weren't even dating yet. Oh my God, Ash, that's so, like, I love you? He's like, thank God.

He's like, thank God. I didn't bring her all the way over here. Oh, if I was AB, alarm bells there. I would have gone, oh no, she's not. Well, there were no alarm bells because he called me straight back. And I was like, oh God, this is gonna be so embarrassing. So I answered, I'm like, so sheepish. I'm like'm like hi like maybe he didn't hear me say it and then he goes

his laughs he goes I love you too obviously. Oh my god you're both as crazy than another. You were meant to be together. That is unbelievable. Yeah. What? Because not only both you don't come across like the sort of people that would do that. No, definitely not Adrian. He's very kind of like logical. Level headed. You have to have slept together or something. There's no way you can have a coffee date and fall in love. I swear on my son's life he hadn't even grazed my upper region through my top. Oh my god honey.

Hey we can never go for coffee with Ash. No. It's just too dangerous. No, no, she's married now, Clint. And also you are. And you friend zoned me yesterday. Yes, and I friend zoned her yesterday. That is mental that you could have that much of a connection

with someone through meeting them one time and then having coffee with them twice and you're in love. It had to be like that for me. Cause I would get the ick so quickly and I thought my career was my life I'm not gonna meet someone. I don't need that blah blah blah So it had to be like very obvious lightning bolt for me because if there was any doubts I'd run away Yeah, it just had to be like that for me. Now he's your husband your boss. Yeah, we've moved around the world together

You know he takes her before and told her off for saying the D word on ear soup too many times. Yeah. He did call me babe when he said it. Yeah. Did he say feedback to you like that? Did he go, Clint, babe? I mean, I call everyone's babe, but I don't know if the boss and I are at their level yet. Seems like an HR issue. Yeah. Also, I don't want him to say he's in love with me.

We're all married, OK, AB? Back off, back off. He took me out for coffee actually, like a couple of weeks ago, and it was a little like, there were awkward moments at times. What a way for my marriage to be over. What a way to find out. Wow, okay.
