This is a podcast from Rover.
Ever wanted to eavesdrop on a group chat that should never see the light of day?
Congrats.
You've found it.
This is the Clint Megandandand podcast.
Clint Megandan with Ash London.
The Hedge Brecky.
Hitt's harder in Auckland.
Good morning, two by six on your long weekend Friday.
How good.
We made it, everyone.
Almost.
Still one more day.
And how good as well, the long weekend.
and keeps on giving off the back short week.
Yes.
I still haven't decided what to do.
Like, I still think there's time for us to do something.
Let's go over to Clint's.
He's got a pool.
Come on.
But I see, I love you both.
I'd like a break from everyone.
Oh, okay.
But think about it, I never escape.
Isn't that interesting, Clint?
I never escape work.
I go home to live with someone who works here and we talk about work.
That's hard, hey, people that live with someone that they work with.
I couldn't.
And we work on the same station even.
It's the first time in our whole life we've worked on the actual same thing.
It's okay that.
Sometimes I'll just be like, I put my hand up and that means no more.
Produce Carl?
Oh, where are you?
There you are.
Oh, what's going on?
We last in Montforty.
Somebody's taking the producer channel off the disc so I can't talk to you guys anymore.
Okay, maybe no one wants to talk to Carl.
Maybe that's it.
No, he was probably Sean.
Yes, he doesn't want to talk to producers.
He hates Carl.
Yeah, that's right.
Someone's being messing with my desk.
All right, we'll get Carlin to fix that.
I'm here, save the day.
Thank you.
I'll play a song.
You sort it out.
Real man in the studio.
Yeah, okay.
I'll play a song.
Yeah.
Too late.
The song started, bro.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
You're not about to jump into your 6am throwback.
As first is the playlist.
Playlist is throwing out.
Oh, good song.
Yeah.
My Kim.
I do like that.
One for the emo's.
I do say this, though.
It's a good day for throwbacks.
Today, 2006, was Taylor Swift when she released her debut album, self-titled.
Taylor Swift, 2006 it was released, which is nearly 20 years ago, isn't it?
It is.
19 years ago.
Oh, we've all heard enough Taylor Swift.
I agree.
What about this clip?
This will be right up your rally.
1999 on this day, Westlife went to number one with their song, Flying Whirling!
I'm flying without a way
Because you're my best of her
I'm flying without waves
It's got my boat
It's got to be my life
Yeah
Is it better than my chem
That's the question
Well it's subjective
They're too bad
I mean
What other radio station on the planet
He's saying
Should we play My Chemical Romance
Or West Life this morning
And here we are
And that's what I love about us
And I think I'd argue
West Life
We'd get in a little bit in trouble
For playing it
But shit it's a banger
Honeybone's not awake.
If you're awake, Honeybone, so's about it.
May you've got great skin, we love you.
Again, it's, um, Ash is like such a shield for us to not getting in trouble
because her husband's the boss.
Yeah.
So she'll just go, sorry, babe, sorry.
Do you want me to pour your pants?
Oh, okay.
Drop your pants.
Jeez, that sounds like a hell of a Friday going on to a long weekend, if I'm honest.
Everybody's looking for that something.
Enjoy is your 6am throwback.
Turn it up.
I'll let Westlap do it.
I don't think we've ever got that many texts, first of all, about a throwback.
We got into that on the...
If you were listening to that in the car, just imagine us dancing around the studio.
I feel like I just went to church and got saved again.
Lou text.
Damn it, guys, I just drove into the driveway from my gym.
And now I have to wait in the car to listen to the whole Westlife song.
I found Jesus.
Jackson said F yes.
What a bloody ripper of a tune to start the day, team.
And then Lindy said, Westlip, no thanks.
I'm out in my FM this morning for me.
Give our love to Nixon.
You can't please, everybody.
Johnny goes, I'm a 42-year-old straight man singing every word.
Great way to start the day.
He's on the way to my love it.
It was a simpler time when that music was coming out, eh?
That's why I was so emotional.
First of all, the line, it's like, you see it in the face of your children.
And then I was like, oh my God.
I was crying.
I was like, you're right back then.
We were younger.
We were like 13, so we had no real problems.
Clip was 40 then.
It's just a low hanging fruit, isn't it?
No, it is.
40 now.
Dan's math is terrible.
I think my eight-year-old could beat him in a mask quiz.
But you'd go into her like, what was it called?
It was sounds and buy like a CD?
Yeah, we had to sound it in the same.
Now that's what I call music.
Yeah, yeah.
Thanks for that, guys.
I didn't know how much my soul needed there.
amazing after all these. He's the muscle memory remembering the words. That's why
Glenn was saying, the words just come out of your mouth. And I was like, oh my God, I didn't
know, my brain still knew this, which is actually scary because then you go, I always
think, does my brain have like a maximum amount of space for information? And meanwhile,
I'm not taking on new stuff because my brain's like, we might need that Westlife
lyric. We might need every Wesley's life. One day you'll learn something new and that
lyric will be pushed out of your brain. Yeah, it's almost like the movie inside out.
You know, I imagine there's a little going flying with our wings.
Do we want to keep the lurks to that?
I'm like, yeah, you'd just never know.
You'd never know.
Because what if you didn't know it then,
you would have been able to experience that amazing moment we just shared.
Just know it's going to be a great day today.
It's a power of music, isn't it?
Very good day for Ash as well.
She's been paid extra.
I know.
She's been, because we got paid last night.
It's like how the just pay day.
Yeah.
And I ran out of money yesterday to text my husband, but can you see him some money?
I don't know.
I'm embarrassing.
Then you got paid extra like a whole.
A whole week.
It's his annual leave advance
And it's the week we all had off
So I got paid for that week
Interesting because I didn't get paid extra
I think she's the boss's
No, he doesn't
He's doing a bit of sneakie under the table
He doesn't do my pay slips
That would be finance
Do I say, do I email them to ask?
Ever was me, I wouldn't
I just hope that no one notices
The fact you've talked about her now
Is probably almost the job of all
The finance team up listening this early
Actually I brought it up wasn't it?
Hopefully the girl that texted Lindy
who's gone to My FM, hopefully.
That's the finance gal.
Yeah.
All right, we'll get a scandal update
and what's going on in the world of entertainment next.
Ash's favourite thing.
Yeah.
That's why they pay the big bucks.
In advance.
It's under the table.
Clint Meg and Dan.
Spinky boo.
Scandal.
It's a scandal.
Quite a scandal.
Scandal with Ash London.
I've got a window between finishing work and picking my boy up.
to last night I sat on the couch
and it was like an hour and a half
just kept refreshing Netflix
waiting, waiting, waiting
for this to drop
nobody wants this
it's the show with
Kirsten Bell, Kristen Bell
and Adam Brody
he's the hot rabbi
She's the sex positive podcaster
People who watch the OC growing up
Will remember him as Seth
Yeah that's the only other thing
That I remember him from
And he hasn't really aged much
He's got a bit of facial hair
That's about it
And I said to my wife, I was like, oh my God, Ash was telling me that the show is going to be out this week.
And she goes, oh, yeah, we watched like the first episode of that, eh?
And I was like, yeah, yeah, you did.
I must have secretly, like, finished the season on my own without it.
Well, it's a cardinal sin of relationships.
Absolutely.
He's a sneak peek at the trailer for the second season, which is that.
I want couple stationary.
Ooh.
I want you to say, I got to check with the boss.
Of course, I got to check with the boss.
And of course, the answer is going to be no.
breaking news you're in a psychotically annoying relationship
way to make all our single listeners feel bad
that a relationship isn't solid until you're out of the honeymoon base
when you merge your lives and you blend your friends
yeah that's what we're doing
what a special moment for the three of us to share
yeah look I'm so excited I was waiting waiting wait
it didn't drop till last night I'd gotten into bed
and then the text for my Australian friends started coming through
it's out it's out it's out and I was like gosh
I'm two house behind I'm in ahead
Are they releasing it as a lump
All in one?
Oh great, I love that.
So I can smash it out on Saturday.
It's like, well, you know when they drip feed you one at a time?
You're like, what are you my mum?
That's what I want to watch it.
Yeah, I'm an adult.
I can be trusted with six episodes.
Yeah, thank you.
I will space them out accordingly to how my life is currently.
I'm dreading that because I think that's what they're going to do with
stranger things when it's out later this year
and they're going to drip feed it week by week.
All those ones where they give you like two Eps a week
and they think they're doing you a favour
because they're giving you an extra app.
I just wait till they're all out.
I'll wait a month.
Like with Bridgeton, I'll just wait till they're all out.
I think you risk being spoiled.
You know, you risk someone saying a spoiler.
You're like, oh, I wish I'd never.
That's the trade-off, I guess, with the way things are now streaming.
It's that unfortunately we don't get to like bro down about our favourite shows anymore
because, again, you're like, oh, sorry, I'm only up to episode two, la-la-la-la-la-la, don't tell me.
So we don't actually get to have that moment.
We go, oh, my God, and then when this happened.
And it was so magic when growing up when everyone was watching the same shot,
the same time because it's the only time you could watch it
unless you wanted to wake up at 4 a.m. on a Saturday for the replay.
Appointment listening.
Yeah, you'd go to school the next day
and you'd be like, like you said, Clint, you'd be like, remember when that happened?
And you'd have like my...
If everyone, if you were rich, and you're like, my sky,
you could like record it or like, what was the other one?
I've never heard of it.
Yeah, and then there was another one where you could like record
the shows and it was like, oh my God, game changer.
You can watch it when they were.
Before that, you could just do it on the VHR.
Record it.
Is that what they were called VHX?
VHR.
That's probably something.
BCR's the player.
BCA, yeah, you know what I mean.
And then you do that thing.
Do you remember if you were recording a movie, like, off TV 3 on like a Saturday night?
And then you would like stop the recording during the ads
so that when at least you watch it back, it never ads.
But then you'd be like, the movie would start again.
You're like, did you hit recording?
You're like, damn it.
And you'd end up missing the first three minutes of it.
Most of the days.
Kids will never know the struggle.
I never know.
But hey, it's better now, let's be honest.
Yeah, it is.
It is.
But I do honestly miss, like on a Friday going through like a United video.
and getting like, you know, what is it, five videos for like 11 bucks.
Three new releases and two overnights, yeah.
Something like that.
Overnight, so you had to watch them and bring them in the next day.
Yeah, I used to work in a video shop and that also have included in that the adult movie section.
There was like a room out the back and there'd be some old guys that had come in every week
and they'd get four normal movies and they'd just sneak in one of the adult ones just at the back.
Just I hope no one noticed.
We always did.
Sandwich in the old Indiana Jones and the Temple of Poon.
Yeah, yeah.
Titsahoi 3
In Diana Jones, my bad
Batman and Throbin was there as well
Yeah, yeah
Okay
Clint Meggin Dan
First Call of the Day
First Call of the Day
Boston
He's in to-in, morning Boston
Good mate
Good morning, guys, how are you all?
That's a good name
Not as good as you, bro
I hear, you've got a 21st
Party tomorrow
I sure do
Is it your 21st or one of your mates?
No, my 21st
Oh, happy birthday, darling.
Happy birthday.
Thank you very much.
I suck.
Where are you having it?
Don't tell people.
Don't say, don't say people are going to rock up and say that their party or party to get the free booms.
That's actually a nice.
That's right.
It's a security guard.
No, but the security guy goes, sorry guys, private function here tonight.
And I go, yeah, yeah, Boston's 21st.
And they go, oh, you know, you're all good.
And then I just go to the bar and just order a round of espresso martinis.
Oh, you'd be invited in Clint if you're doing that.
That sounds like you guys.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll see you there tomorrow.
Yeah, what is the bar tab looking like for a 21st these days?
Is it subsidised?
Do you have to like...
Or do people pay for themselves?
No, we're just doing a cash bar.
Oh, the Boston trick.
Everyone pays for themselves.
That's fine, I reckon.
You can go expecting.
And I think so.
Otherwise it ends up costing you like three or four grand.
More sometimes.
That's what we thought, yeah.
Yeah, Boston sounds like he's got some mates who know how to put a couple back.
Now, Boston, here's a question.
Are you doing a yardie for your 21st?
Yeah, is that still a thing?
No, I couldn't think of anything worse.
Yeah, good.
Good, I like that.
I think my co-host at the time would have been probably,
maybe eight, nine years ago, found it.
I never did one.
So they made me do a yardie of milk, like, in the studio once,
and I think I must have sued, like, four or five times.
Yeah, I think that it would have been worse.
How much actual milk is in a yardie?
Like, it's like litres?
Yeah, what is it?
I think it works out to be, like, eight bottles of beer or something.
So what's that?
Eight or nine, maybe?
Yeah.
It's so bad, dude.
And what they normally end up doing is they'll pour the people.
beer in the Yardy the night before so that the fizzle comes off it so that they can actually
get it back because it's the fizz that stops you from getting it down quickly.
It's dangerous.
I'm glad you won't be doing that, Boston.
Have you got a girlfriend or a boyfriend or someone special?
Yeah, I have a girlfriend.
Yeah.
Nice.
Do you think she's the one?
Oh, 100%.
Oh, nice.
Are you guys, is she buying a gift for you for your 21st?
Oh, possibly.
I'm not actually too sure.
I don't really care if I get a gift
Yeah, because she's the gift that keeps on giving
right, Boston.
Exactly, exactly right then.
Oh, you sound like a lovely guy.
Yeah, I'm very mature for 21.
I'm bloody looking forward to hanging out with you tomorrow night, mate.
I'm looking forward to seeing you.
Yeah, yeah, how good.
And you think he's joking.
He'll turn up.
He'll be there, darling.
The boys of text going, hey, where do you guys want to go for a drink?
I was like, oh, I know, I know, mate, he's having a 21st in the fight.
How good.
You'll be like the one celebrity there
Oh God you've made his week
He's really going now
Definitely going now
Definitely coming
Hey boss is we're going to sue you out
The voucher to spend in store at Zed
While you're cruising around the country in your truck bro
Awesome thank you very much guys
Easy man
It's been a pleasure talking to you
Yeah a long weekend
Yeah man and you
The new ultimate pie beef brisket
Smoke cheddar and jalapino
Get amongst that bro
While they've still got them
Sometimes we talk to listeners
You just know they're like a good sort
We'd get on
Yeah, you can tell inside like two minutes
Whether you've been raised well
Yeah
And genuinely I reckon Clint will be there
100%
Do you know what I'm 50 50
He will send us amazing
We'll be asleep
It'll be midnight
And he'll send us a photo of him
And Boston arms around each other
That's actually now my like long weekend mission
To send you that photo
Please
I'd have to make my week
I promise you if I'm out drinking on Saturday
And I'm anywhere near the viret
I'll make the trance
Let me know if you go
Because I could be arm twisted to come out
as well. Oh my God, go on then.
Rubber on, Dan?
Dan's always a cheap date, too, because
he's just a ginger beer guy, so, you know, he's only
like a... I'll have a couple of three-percenters.
They don't do three-percent.
They do like 2% live beer or like a 4% longer.
Like a kombucha to my veins.
Dan just smash it back, chug, chug, chug.
You're all kombucha.
I was feeding my son kombucha for a year before he realized
that had a bit of alcohol in it.
What?
What?
Does it?
Yes, it's like half a percent.
It'll do it.
I mix it with water, though, because the sugar, so hopefully that helps.
He's pretty smart.
Honestly, I think the London House, it's like a prison if you're a child.
I know, honestly.
No sugar.
Half-strength alcohol.
But his gut health alcohol on point.
Yeah, yeah, true, actually.
His microbiome 10 out of 10.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
And we were talking about the least moanable names after the conversation started kicking off on TikTok.
And Dan was saying you can moan any name.
Any name?
I think so.
I think anybody, if you've got the can-do attitude.
And then, not that you're aware, but your mum, Julie, thought,
no, there's probably one that Dan won't moan, and she caught up with her own.
No, this game?
Do it.
No, do it.
Do it.
No, actually, I don't want him to do it.
It's too easy.
Just, oh, no.
Julie.
I'd actually rather he wouldn't.
Yeah, I think we all would, babe.
Well, here we go.
I'm going to do it then.
Dan, I love her your mum's playing hard to get now, wouldn't you?
Yeah, we'll just give her something.
Here we go.
Oh, Julie.
I think you and Dan are both losers in this, unfortunately.
We're all losers.
Everyone's...
You playing genuine pony as the bed is just...
Just kiss.
No, it's not.
That's filthy, Clint.
You should never have done it.
Dutty.
Well, I said in the amount of the two of you, one has a very moanable name and one, you know, is just the normal amount of moanable.
And I would say that Clint, although it does rhyme with some words that may be used when you're in the throws of passion, is not.
It's so moanable.
Oh, hold on.
That's a turn for the book.
That's monable.
Oh, my God.
Yes, my dad, you still have to do something to make Ash, you know.
She just did.
I must have done something right.
But I take the moan back
Because as soon as I did it
He did that weird hand, spirit fingers
Then he does
Because he got so excited
It was either going to be that or the dab
I could do a jazz dab
Jazz dab
He's dabbing while doing jazz fingers
No one is moaning Dan
After you jazz dab
I don't actually think anyone's ever
Mowned my name
Not because I haven't ever pleased woman
But I think because
It's rare that you
Ask your wife
I do I use names
In fact the person
Someone's just texted through a name
that I've moaned before.
Your current husband.
Yeah.
It's not his name.
It's not his number though.
Someone else has texted it in.
I don't know if I had ever.
I don't think I've ever you said the name of the person.
You might be like a baby or like.
Maybe I'll give it a nudge.
Give it it.
I can't believe you don't use names.
Do you say like my heart when you?
Absolutely not.
Never, never, never.
Problem with me is if we start, you know, talking.
and throwing out some stuff, I get carried away.
Yeah, and then I wreck it.
And then she'll end up to be like, off me, get off, get off.
Yeah, yeah. I'm trying, baby.
I mean, I've tried Dirty Talk before.
It's just not my shtick.
So I just stay away from it now.
Yeah, fair enough.
I think it'd be awkward if you did.
Yes, yes, thank you very much.
And you've got to know your limitations, what you go out or you're bad at, you know.
It's good to know that Dan's a moanable name, though, thank you.
Yeah, thank you.
I put a bit of a pep in my step going on to the long weekend.
Yeah.
What are the most moanable girls names?
I think anything started.
with A because it naturally lends itself towards a, you know, like you're already...
Yeah, but cash to me is not like, Amanda.
That's good.
Yeah, Amanda.
Yeah, because there's multiple A's in there.
So you can, ah, at the beginning and ah, at the end, Amanda might be the best name.
I think you got names that start with a vowel.
Much easier, right, because you do, is a vowel A?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm like, Olivia.
It's a vowel A.
Honest to God, how did you get this job?
Oh, you don't need to know English to do this.
Literally, that's all we do.
It's just talking.
Yeah.
I think Amanda, Olivia.
Olivia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Amanda's better because it's the duh.
That might be it.
If you've got a vowel at beginning and the end, it's like you can't lose.
Someone else said Sabrina.
Yeah, but I think you're absolutely right.
The art, starting with the vowels.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you know what the other vowels are then?
A.
Yes.
And then it goes.
E.
Yes, he's going to get through the alphabet.
I.
Yep.
H-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O.
Yeah, yeah.
That's it.
You're pulling your leg.
Yes, mad ass.
You missed you, and if there are no vowels in a word, then we'll take a Y.
Oh, thanks for the English leachin-climple.
Do you know, even the song?
Ta' name a hootah has a forest.
A-E-O-U.
Never heard it.
A-E-O-U.
I know.
Actually, I, R-A-E-or-U, now I know.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
Now we know, well, there's an English lesson.
We've all learned something on Friday.
Every word needs to have a vowel, and if it doesn't, it'll have a Y.
Oh, Kayla, someone's texted.
It's her name.
Hey, that's pretty moanable.
Yeah.
Oh, Hannah.
That's got two vowels in that one.
Could you do the Hannah?
That's your wife's name?
No, I've done that before.
That's fair.
Clip, Megan, Dan.
Before we get into 7 o'clock and give you a chance to win some cash with easy money,
Dan was telling us off here about if a loved one passes away,
how you can keep their,
memory and maybe some of their
presence are alive. Yeah, just quickly. You may
remember Suzanne Summers. She passed away
I think a couple of years ago. She was the star of
a TV show called Step by step
around the 90s. I remember, I didn't love
Bardi. She was the mum
in that. But she's done other stuff. It doesn't really matter who she is, but she
passed away and her husband is still alive.
And because she had done lots of interviews
and she was a person in the public eye,
he's been able to put a whole load of this
information, her voice, some interviews she's done,
over the years, a lot of information into an AI app.
And he's now got a twin of her that he still talks to.
Doesn't it delay the grieving process?
Yeah, I mean, you can't, you've got to let people do what they want to do.
Sure.
But I guess it's kind of like FaceTiming, Adrian, like my husband.
You know, like you FaceTiming him.
And you're like, oh, yeah, I feel like I've seen him because you're first time.
But you'd almost have to keep telling yourself that it's real because your brain would be like,
it's not real.
It's not real.
And then that would make it harder.
So then I imagine if you do this for a year,
you probably become quite delusional
to the point where you now start to believe it is.
But do you know what the best,
I think the best, this is a very, very sad thing.
And imagine like your child or your partner are gone.
Yeah. Unfathomable grief.
Can't even unfathomable.
And you just want anything to make it feel like they're still here.
Imagine if you could watch one of your kids and talk to them.
Of course you don't.
And essentially, maybe it would be harder for people that are out of the public eye
because there's not as much information online about them.
But because there's so much about her
that it's almost like he is talking to it
because it is this whole...
It feels like a Black Mirror episode.
Yes, great.
And how often now are we watching Black Mirror episodes
going, oh my God, how far away is that?
Seriously.
Because before it used to be so far-fetched
and now you're like, that could happen.
I remember when we saw a two-park hologram
at Coachella and we were like, what?
I know.
Now it's like, yeah, easy, normal.
Apparently all her family are using it now as well.
He's like, sheared it with the family.
And everybody's talking to Suzanne?
No, I don't like it.
AI version.
But I also like, you know, what people do when they're grieving is up to them.
Yeah.

Julie, good morning.
Good morning.
How are you?
Good.
Did you hear Dan?
owning your name before, Julie?
No, not quite.
No, I don't know if I want to hear that.
No, you don't.
No, you don't want to.
That was horrible.
Okay, today, Julie, I mean, it must be a good sign.
Your letter's J today.
Okay, perfect.

Oh, good effort.
Yeah, it was pretty good, actually.
I thought you might have got Jesus.
Yeah.
That is true.
Some people think he's a mythical creature.
So I guess it depends on your face.
We know Jesus. No, we know Jesus existed.
Yeah, well, that's true.
Were you happy with your showing there?
You've tried so many times to get through.
I reckon that was a solid effort, Jules.
Yeah, I just, oh my God, I can't believe and know that you said Jesus.
I mean, it's easy when we just say the answers.
We've got to be in front of us, babe.
That's actually good.
Five, six, seven.
Yeah, not bad.
Have a wonderful long weekend.
Are you doing anything fun, darling?
I'm just going down to Topopo, so it'll be nice.
Oh, lovely.
Are you going to the lake resort with the hydraslides in the swimmer bar?
I do see a story that it's tempting.
Oh, it's very tempting.
Clint, you should be the ambassador for that place.
You've been there so many times.
Yeah, it's great.
We end up spending more money on the swimmer bar than we do on the accommodation.
Yeah, no one's surprised by that time.
We have made you.
All right, hit the spot.
Did you catch it yesterday?
It was not without its drama.
It was 8 o'clock yesterday morning.
Drama.
Yeah.
And I think we need to settle on.
on what the rules are going forward with this game.
I don't know why Clint thinks he's the boss of it.
I know, it's your segment.
No, but it's not impressive to watch someone
shoot a basketball into a hoop 15 times
and get it in on the 15th time.
If I could turn your microphone off, I would.
Yeah, but only I can turn yours and Dan.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Hit it, hit it, buggy.
Hit it.
Hit it.
Whoa.
Might miss it yesterday.
8 o'clock, yesterday morning.
A bit of drama.
We hit the spot after spending all week learning this song.
I think it's now going to be one of those songs that lives in our brain forever.
Oh yes, it will never lose it.
It was very hard to learn.
Like we've learned many songs for Hit the Spot over the year.
Now, man.
We need to decide on the rules because people were throwing shade and me get all angry at me.
Before we actually attempted to hit the spot, we said we get one shot at it.
That's what creates the drama knowing there is no safety net.
That's why watching someone do tightrope walking is more impressive or trapeze when there is no net.
But if there's a net and they get to go and do it a second time, it's not as exciting.
But the problem is, Clint, if someone does tightrope without a net and they fall off and they die.
Yeah.
We had the luxury of no dying on this segment.
And really, our job is to get the people what they want and they want to hear us hit the spot.
So I think one little mistake, fine.
If you'd made a mistake twice, we would have had to call.
Yeah, because this is what ended up happening.
I want it, want it, want it, want it
I would like a ring, I would like a big and shine
Oh no! Oh, you can't say that.
You did a lot of bad things there, Daniel, Daniel. Daniel. Danjong.
You know what? We haven't moved on the spot. Just wait. Just wait. I want it to be perfect.
Don't blame us. Don't find a fail. No!
I just see where you won't crack at it and then you did that.
We didn't ever get the crack though. No, no, it's fine. That's if we missed the spot. I'm just adding a bit of drama, mate.
What? He's...
Are you actually not going to let us play?
I think you cooked that.
We're doing it again.
Play a song and we'll come back and do it again.
Yeah, God, what a stickler, eh?
Seriously.
Rules and rules.
That's why we have rules.
You've missed us brought many times before and you get a second chance at it.
Your wife told me.
Hopefully.
Dan looks away, won't make eye contact when he says things.
When I'm pissed off at people, I don't want to look at them.
Today's one of those days.
Well, we were like, right, let's let the listeners, you decide.
And this is what ended up having to be.
Happy Thursday, yes, you're going to give him.
You've got to give it another go.
Let's say, let's say we smash it
when we give it another go.
It's not going to feel cheapened
that it was our second go.
No way, I feel better.
No, no, you just got to give it another go.
I think lots of people want to hear it again.
You guys got this.
So we did.
Don't you stop that.
I would like a ring, I would like a diamond ring
on my wedding finger, I would like a bright and shiny.
Diamond that I could wave it around and talk and talk about it.
And if the day would come forgive me gather, I could ever doubt it.
Until death of do it.
Doa, do I see a bad, about a, about of this man
It's testing me, uh-huh, uh-huh
Help me, help me, help me, look
Need you to tell me, baby!
Oh, yes.
A bit of drama was at in click.
There you go.
If I hadn't stuffed it up, it wouldn't be the drama.
Your deal is like a lucky genius.
Someone sits through Brock, I think.
Is that Brock our old producer?
Yeah, it might be.
Brock now, producer, he said, I'm on Clint's side.
But as a compromise, I think Dan should have been out of the attempt
to you guys have done it.
Oh, to not enjoy the success of the second rules of rules.
So it's like Dan's stuff that he's out, now it's just you and I, Ash.
And he's never not competed in a hit the spot.
I know.
Sometimes you've introduced others, but it's always been with you.
I think we give it back to you now.
I think it just, we've had our fun.
I think it returns to the safe hands of Daniel.
The more the merrier I find.
Because it stresses me out as well sometimes
Now I can just hide behind you guys as well
Even though I stuffed it up yesterday
You have been more relaxed
When sharing it
Because usually if you're gone solo
And it's a hit spot day
You're coming in that morning
Oh yeah but now I'm from now on I won't be
Now I've reached the lofty height
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast
I know it seems early talking Christmas
In October
I mean the malls don't seem to care
But I guess it is
I guess around this time of year
you really have to have some sort of plan locked in
otherwise everything's all booked out
and then you're one of those people that's just kind of like
desperately looking for something to do
and a couple of years ago
Adrian and I this is before we had buddy
we decided that we were going to ditch Christmas all together
and we went to Europe
and it was the best thing we ever did
we woke up in a hotel on Christmas morning
so home alone of you
we were just like breakfast
had a couple of presents among us
had a long lunch.
Does Santa still, like if you go somewhere else, is they like, oh, well, he's stuffed
he'll go to you.
He can fit down a chimney.
That's what like kids are worried about.
No, no, no, no.
We made that very clear with Buddy and we send a letter and let Santa know where we'll be.
Okay, cool.
So, and it was, this is life-changing.
What do we always do this?
So pretty much every second year now, Adrian and I just, it's a ditch mess.
We just do what we want, especially, like, it is a bit different now with Buddy because
the family are desperate to see him.
But we might do it like a couple weeks before or a couple of weeks.
after and it's the best.
But isn't that, and I know this is maybe not for everyone,
but isn't the beauty of Christmas and the lovely part
spending it with family and loved ones?
Yeah, but not every year necessarily.
Every now and then I think it's okay to go,
you know what? It's a Ditchmas year.
I'm not going to be planning any meals.
I'm not going to be ferrying the kids
from our parents' house to your parents' house.
Cleaning up.
I've never done it. I mean, normally I'm like setting up
like a tent to the campground and getting ready
and putting up the ferry lights and all the rest of it.
But it's always like, you know,
And my mom and dad and my brother and his wife and his little girl, my niece.
And Ash says to me, hey, I don't know if you guys know,
but there are some unbelievable deals in Fiji over Christmas.
That's right.
Well, it's not a place you think to go.
Because most people are with their families.
I started looking.
If you want to go like 28th onwards, no, no, no, no.
They're hiked right back up.
Yeah, it's New Year's prices.
If you're going like 21st, 22nd, over Christmas
and then getting out of there on sort of Boxing Day 27th,
breakfast, lunch, dinner, five nights,
and it's like two, two and a half grand.
Yeah.
For like a week away, all-inclusive, with kids.
That's pretty good.
That's cheaper than staying home,
because Christmas can be expensive
once you start buying all the hams and the turkeys and the seafood.
Two and a half grand for the whole family.
Yeah, for the comm and then obviously you got your flights over.
But flights actually around that time as well.
Again, cheaper.
Really cheap.
Compared to a holiday that you would obviously book any other time of the year to go to Fiji.
Wow.
And so I started to start.
looking.
My man.
I'm doing Ditchmas for the first time.
So Ash and I are both going to be in Fiji.
It's interesting you say that because I
have decided not to go to Fiji anymore.
Yeah, because the Rambles are going to be there nightmare.
It's no longer the serene place you were wanting.
Ashley.
No, we're going to the Gold Coast in January.
We can't do two holidays.
We're still doing Ditchmast though because we're just staying in Auckland
and all our family in Australia.
So he's like, oh my God, Fid you'll be so cool right now.
Now that's what we're doing.
And I was like, oh, that's what I'm going to do too.
And then you're like, yeah, no, we're not doing there now.
Yeah, because she'd rather not hang out with your family.
Fiji is a large place.
There are many islands.
It's not all about you, bro.
Maybe I didn't consider you in my ditchment plans.
Maybe you're not that important.
Can't believe you are so into it that you convince me to do it and then you're not into it anymore.
But the scratch has been itched.
The fact that you're doing it means it like, you know.
It better not suck because I will blame you about bloody.
Hold on.
If it's like the rainy season and it just buckets down the whole time.
You know how to Google is it rainy in December in December in.
I'm not the Fiji. I'm not the Fiji guru
that has to make all your life decisions for you.
I trusted you. I was like, if it was
crap, Ash wouldn't have booked that.
And it turns out how you did it.
I would love to, if I could afford to go
to the Gold Coast and also
go to Fiji, I'd do both. But I've got to
be in the Gold Coast for a wedding. May as well make a holiday.
There's a slight issue here, guys.
Clint, have you told
your mum? No.
His mum, Christine is like the most
family-oriented.
Like, this is going to gut that woman.
This is the first Christmas of
my whole life that I haven't done it.
Exactly. Imagine that.
Oh gosh.
My mom would not be happy with this.
Imagine.
That's a confidence.
Yeah, look.
Your family do what your family do, but
in my family, if I was going to do that,
it's got to be a couple months notice.
Hey, Mum. Yeah, tell her first.
Last time, I think I organised a whole bunch of games
and then we all had costumes and we all dressed up
and we were in teams.
Did you have eye contact lenses on?
No, no, I didn't buy fake on things.
I love to go on contact lenses, doesn't it?
It was kind of like a shirtless.
Elf.
Shirtless.
One of the twos are there, shirtless.
But the universe wanted me in it.
It was a random pick of the draw, and that's what I got.
Anyway.
Please call Christine next.
We don't have to.
Yeah, come on.
It's radio, babe.
If you tell her, at least tell her.
Is anyone celebrating Ditchmas?
Is anyone like, I'm ditching the fan with this year?
I've had enough. Maybe it was based off the bad experience here last year.
You just had enough?
And you're like, not for me this year.
Do my own thing.
I'll wait home to the edge.
You'll fire us a text 3343.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
Who's celebrating.
Ditchmas this year and ditching the family going,
nah, not for me, not this year.
Sarah is, morning, Sarah.
Morning.
So you're taking your...
This is, we should call her by your proper name.
Oh, yeah, is this...
S word that rhymes with.
Please don't.
No, we won't.
Yeah.
So what are you in Philo doing for Christmas, my love?
Oh, we're taking the kids on a trip around Thailand and Malaysia.
Oh.
So we'll be in Chiang Mai on Christmas Day, so...
That's another place like...
Yeah, the kids are trying to, like, get their heads around.
it but we said you know it's about family yeah and what spurred that decision on because it's a big
deal um oh we just wanted to just do a trip we're sort of starting to do a few Asia
for countries over the last few years so um yeah we just and then we thought that's a good
time to go and it'll be fun and something different how much cheap how much cheaper was it do you
think um well I mean you can accommodate um yeah the commendate um yeah the commendation um yeah the
actually you can sort of anything from super cheap to write up five star really expensive.
So you can sort of find anything and the flights aren't too bad.
Yeah, the flights were actually pretty good to Fiji and you just go.
You can do like a half price holiday if you're going to do it over Christmas while everyone else is spending time with family.
I reckon you guys are going to inspire a lot of people to do a Christmas this year, especially the price is so cheap.
I've booked flights to Bali with friends on Christmas Day.
I haven't told my family and I don't plan on doing it until the very last minute.
My mother would murder me.
Absolutely murdered me for the last minute, I was like, shall we?
Courtney says my partner and I have skipped Christmas the past few years.
It's amazing.
We used to spend the whole day stressed cooking and baking forever, and now we travel instead.
Okay, Clint, stop stalling.
You need to call your mum and tell her that you are ditching her the first time ever in your 49 years of life.
40!
Okay, honey by our worst, forget.
And you're going to ditch her for the first time.
Okay, dial the number.
Please answer.
Nope, she's not picking up.
No.
I said we just hang up.
Hello.
Hey, Christine.
I always know something's up when you go, hey, Mom.
Nothing's ever up.
I don't know.
I reckon you're going to regret this, Christine.
Yeah, I bet I always regret it.
My new friend Ash London was talking to me about summer and about Christmas,
and she put a little bit of an idea in my head,
and that idea has actually borrowed its way right down to my fingertips
then ended up jumping online
and booking a holiday
and so on Christmas day
I'm going to be in Fiji
and not hanging out with the fan
Yeah well it is a bit sad
But it is what it is
Because I heard Clint was going to Fiji
And I was more disappointed
They never asked us if we'd like to go to
So there you go
Yeah you're really angry I say it
Say it Christine
Say you Clint
Really pissed off
Stuff is as bad as you get into.
Say, I wish I'd never birthed you.
Dyes too far.
Why do we say it too far, Zandau?
I'm just trying to get something.
Did you want to come to Fiji too, Mom?
Well, I thought that's what you once said to us.
You said, why don't we do a trip to Fiji at Christmas?
But anyway, and then I found out you'd booked it, and I thought, oh, well, we didn't get asked after all.
I can't keep up with you guys.
I mean, you're in Bloody Hamilton right now.
I didn't have no idea.
I mean, next to me, you're up north.
Well, I'll tell you what, you can track my phone if you want to.
I'm going to need to start.
doing that actually. God, exotic locations,
how old she'll be next.
Huntley. I'll see you over the summer anyway. I'll be bludging
off you and Dad, no doubt, on the new year.
See, Christine. Love you. Bye, Mom, love you.
Bye. Love you too. Bye.
Was that to me or to you, do you? To me, because you've
pissed her off. She's gone. Look, hung up
and a huff. Clint Megadane
Lesh, let's go! This is 5'8, Clint McGahn
with Ash London.
You're right? Gets you
every time, didn't it? She's got pinched by
her headphones.
That's the biggest injury you can get
being a radio announcer
And when you pull the headphones apart
And then you accidentally let one end go
And it snaps into the side of your face
Before it gets the area
God, this is a dangerous job, eh?
It can be
All right, who has the greatest plans
For the Long Weekend and Who has the worst
Hall of Fame and Hall of Shame
Long Weekend Edition?
What's going on?
What are you doing?
I wait under the edge of a 3, 3rd, 4th round text
This one saying
Flying to Singapore
But had to drive from New Plymouth to Auckland
as the flight was short of crew.
Been on the road with kids since 3.30 in the morning.
God bless you.
Because I was going to say, it's a bit of a fun of an unexpected road trip.
But when you've got kids in the car.
Oh, Jesus. Kids suck balls.
Yeah, another hall of shame.
Staff are off on ACC, so I'm going to be boning beef and making sausages
followed with the wife's birthday.
So not all bad.
Yeah, birthday's a bit of fun.
Should I go to Alison?
Because I think she's going to be hard to beat in terms of the Hall of Fame.
Okay.
Morning, Alison.
Good morning
Oh, you're already, Chabaker
Yeah
Pepin your step
What's your plans?
I am nervous as hell today
Because I am getting on an aeroplane
With my fiancée
And flying to
Pouquet to get married on Tuesday
Oh
Now that is a good bit of plans
Oh, that's awesome
Why are you nervous?
You're not worried he's going to get coffee
Yeah, I'm just
I'm driving around
in my mobile coffee van at the moment
trying to fit all my clients in because they all
want my coffee before I go away
Nice
Oh god, you're working the day before
I'm like sorry guys I'm going overseas for my wedding
You guys are left to get your caffeine fix somewhere else
Where are you going in Christchurch?
Were you going in Christchurch this morning
If we want a coffee from Alison
Yep absolutely
The coffee lady, the little white man
I'm off to two pet days for the rest of the day
So
Okay nice
We have the best wedding ever
It's so excited
Have a wonderful day. Keep breathing.
And my one bit of advice, if I may, Alison, is on the day.
You and your partner, and just every hour or so find each other.
Yeah.
Get some time alone, check in, look around.
Otherwise, the whole wedding's over, and you haven't seen your partner once because it's so busy.
Yeah.
Yeah, appreciate the day.
Absolutely.
All right.
And Tiana, morning, a Hall of Fame or Hall of Shame long weekend plans.
Well, it could have been the Hall of Shame, but no, definitely.
it's going to be the Hall of Fame if the second flight
gets on its way. Oh, you're the
one who's been in the car with the kids since 3.30.
You're off to Singapore.
Yes. Yeah, yeah. We're on route
to Singapore. Sorry, the Sri Lanka, but
yeah, we've just stopped in Singapore on the way.
I went to Sri Lanka for my honeymoon.
Oh, wow. What's the highlight? What can we not miss?
Oh, my gosh, you've got it. Are you doing the Ella to
Candy Train?
Yes. Yeah, that's amazing.
It's amazing.
And these men get on and these women
and they sell these deep-fried little Sri Lankan pastry treats.
Is there anything else you did on your honeymoon
that you can recommend to Tiana?
Yeah, well, the kids are in the car.
They can imagine to you.
On that train.
We did nothing on the train.
We did it in our honeymoon suite.
Right.
Oh, it sounds, you know, lovely people are like, yeah.
Our listeners are doing all sorts of cool stuff.
I reckon.

Your massive news for Warriors fans
You missed that in headlines
Are Luke Metcalf
Who was in the running for the Dalliem Award
Which is the best player
In the whole NRL
The only reason that he eventually
Didn't win
Is because he had a season ending injury
And stopped earning points
Because he wasn't able to continue to play
So he was just on fire
And he signed till the end of 2028
for the Warriors. So very good news.
Yeah, good for us. We need him.
Yep, it's our year next year.
Of course it is. Like it is every year.
All right, let's get into it. Your chance to play for a grand in the hand with easy money.
30 seconds, 10 answers. Starting with the letter, Ash, gives you can pass, but no repeated answers.
If you can get that job done, like Caitlin did this week and won 10 grand.
We'll give you a thousand bucks.
Come on. Nadia's playing now. Morning, Nadia?
Good morning.
Morning.
How do you normally go when you're playing passively along in the car listening to everyone else?
I do all right.
I shout at the radio a little bit sometimes.
That's right.
You're allowed to shout.
Come on.
Are you one of those people that's like, you sucked?
I could have done better?
No, no.
I'm not that cocky.
All right, well, Ash has your letter.
Let's get into it and see if we can get some cash into your bank account today.
Your letter is K.
Okay.
Awesome.
All right, let's do it.
Can I have something you find in the kitchen?
A four-letter word
Keep
A retail store
A kukai
A female musician
Kylie Minot
An occupation
Kitchen hand
A drink
A drink
A kombucha
A way to show affection
an Australian animal
Oh my god
Seven from seven
We just need a little bit
Pace
We should have got eight if we're taking kangaroo
But you're exactly right
All you needed was the pace
Babe the next tier would have been a measurement
And you would have probably said
kilogram
And then it would have been something in your pocket
And you would have definitely said
Just had keys
Yeah it was a solid
It was a solid
Oh good, thank you
No worries babe
I love how she said Kukai for Rita
So I thought Kmart was a sitter
Yeah
Wouldn't have let his case
It's almost worse when they're close like that
because it's like, oh, what could it be, you know?
Yeah, like she was just took her time.
Unfortunately, too much time
and then just answered and...
Clint Megan Dan.
Someone's ready to share their secret.
The Truth Booth.
With Clint Megan Dan and Ash London.
If you've got a secret,
you've been sitting on that no one knows about,
but you've decided it's time to get it off your chest,
then you can join us like James has in the Truth Booth.
Morning, James.
Morning, guys.
Morning, mate.
Oh, thanks for coming on.
Is it warm enough?
Put your feet up in, yeah.
Give us the top line.
What's kind of going on?
What's the vibe here, Jamesie?
All right, so I'm due to get married in about six months,
but a couple of things recently have happened
that had me kind of second guessing if I actually want to stay with my fiancé
and go through with the whole thing.
Oh.
Are you secretly gay?
No, okay.
I have not.
I'm not.
I realize you gay, okay.
That would be a truth bomb, too.
If you're getting married in six months, how long you've been engaged for already?
We've been together now about two years all up.
Now, a lot of people say that, and there's mostly guys that say this.
After getting engaged, it's like a trial period for the marriage.
I would say that that should happen before you get engaged.
You should be 100% sure once you get engaged.
Interesting, because I think guys have a different perspective on this.
But, you know, like, I think you're right, Dan.
You say, I'm just interested, James, because at some point you said,
I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
You knew you were sure.
And then between that point and this point,
now you are very unsure.
I'm very unsure.
Is it something she's done
or is it something that's just like,
overtime, just you've changed your opinion
or she's just become annoying this thing
or is it like an actual deliberate thing that's happened?
It's not necessarily just one thing that's happened.
It was just about three months into the engagement.
I was like really having second thoughts.
I was madly in love with her.
I was madly in love with it.
Or was.
Well, maybe I still am.
I don't know.
I'm torn.
Is there someone else?
I reckon you would know.
Like, if you were madly in love, you'd, it's either a yes or a no thing.
Yeah, yes, though.
Is it just cold feet for, like, the wedding and the commitment, and you still want to be there?
I wonder how many people do that where they go, oh, my God, this is forever.
I still want to be with you.
Is it a cold feet, or it's a literal thing that's changed your view of her?
It's something she's done, I guess.
Okay.
Okay, let's find out.
I've heard enough.
Yeah, what has she done, Dar? What's happened?
What have you discovered about your fiancé that's made you change the way you feel about her
and wonder if you want to even get married at all?
What's that minx doing?
I hate to do this to her, but essentially my partner has always liked the finest things in life,
and she's really not good with money, which is fine.
She makes money, and, like, we both contribute to bills and all that.
But in a couple of months after we got engaged, she's gone, like, mental on the spending,
and she's quit her job with no plan to go back to work
and even saying things like I've kept a woman now
she won't stop spending my hard in cash
and she just doesn't care and doesn't really want to go back to work
Was there really, sorry, this is a lot to unpack
We have to play a song and come back
But has she, was there any discussion before she quit the job
Or was that news to you after she had done it?
No, it was kind of news to me
She was just busy spending
And I guess she thought she was too busy to keep working
so she quit her job just so she can...
What? To be able to spend a full time?
That's my dream.
How is that like a thing?
That would never even wash in my relationship.
If Hannah quit her job, when...
I mean, I don't know the full story.
We'll find out, yes, we've got to go to a song.
But I feel like when you're about to get married,
you are spending a lot of money in preparation for the wedding and things.
Let's find out if it is more that,
or if maybe we're defending her when she doesn't deserve it.
I'm leaning towards Leaver.
If she quits her job without talking to you, that's a big deal breaker for me.
That's weird.
If a man did that, they'd be uproar.
Okay, are we team James, or are we
team James's fiancé?
James. You've got any questions? Pinging
through now, and we will put them to James
right after this. On the end. Clint Megan Dan.
Clint McGadam with Ash London.
The Truth Booth. With Clint
Megan Dan and Ash London.
Right, if you've got a secret that you've been
sitting on, no one knows about, and you want to share it, this is
the place to do it. James has just
done that. He is engaged at the moment.
He's got six months until the wedding, and
since proposing, his now
Our fiancé has started spending like crazy, quit her job and has fantasized and been telling her friends that she is about to be a kept woman.
And that is now giving our James cold feet.
Fair enough?
Yeah, that's dead on.
I must say, currently I'm like very much team James here.
I'm bleeding James.
That's how much team I'm on.
You must be not that perfect.
Put your humble card down, James, for a second.
Are you quite well off?
Like, do you do quite well?
Yeah, I've got a pretty good job.
I've got, and I've got some pretty good savings.
But I think so.
Hala, we won't pre-nup.
We won't pre-nup.
Hey, come on.
How much does she spend?
Like, what's the ballpark here?
Like, are we talking, like, a couple hundred bucks a week, or is it in the thousands?
I'm not actually sure, but it's got to be high up there.
Every day we've got a new, at minimum two or three packages arriving.
And she's the money just seems to come in and go straight out.
Wow.
Is it wedding-related purchases or just whatever she wants?
So it started off as pure wedding-based purchases,
and now it just seems to be all sorts of crap
that has nothing to do with the wedding.
She's buying presents for all her friends.
She's going on, like, big extravagant lunches.
She's doing everything.
I find this very hard to stomach,
knowing that she, like, if you're spending,
usually it means that you're spending your own money
when it's kind of leisure stuff.
And you're not married yet.
Yeah, you're not married.
It's not your communal money as much as people want to think so.
In your fiancé's defence, though,
If this is something that has annoyed you enough to the point where you have called us on the edge,
have you sat her down and spugged her and said, hey, babe, love you, I think you've got to curb your spending
a bit. There isn't a way that we can kind of continue in this direction if we're going to
financially be secure and stable in our marriage.
No, we really haven't had those.
The money chats we've had, she did palms it off and says, we've got the money, we've got the money,
you've got a really good job, you're earning well.
It doesn't matter.
If she doesn't think it's a problem and you do, that's a problem.
And I think communication is the key here, right?
Like you say you've had the conversation, but I think you need to really sit down and like look her in the eye and fully go, this is not right.
Because it'll get worse once you're married.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right, yeah.
I guess maybe I've put it all on the table and say I don't want to get married unless we're serious about this.
Well, good luck with that one, James.
Yeah, thanks for sharing.
If you want some feedback, there's plenty coming through on text this morning.
Yeah, most of it is saying, if not leave her.
Which a lot of it is
A lot of people are saying that they need to
Address it before the marriage, before the wedding
So funny that you could
Have somebody who wants to spend the risk of your life with
But then you have an argument over finances
And it's all done
No, but this isn't just that finances
This is like
Lies
Trust lies, she did something huge
Imagine like your partner just quits their job
And just doesn't tell you
Like in my relationship
I can only speak from my experience
That would cripple us
Absolutely I'd be like that
But we don't know that
But you live to your mean
Yeah, yeah.
But we don't also
like know the circumstances
around her quitting.
Like it could have been
a really toxic environment.
It's super bad for a mental health
and she's like...
Yeah, he would have mentioned that.
It really sounds like she just like...
James didn't mention it
because it wouldn't have served his argument as well.
But also I think,
and a lot of people have said this as well
on the text machine.
It's not all her.
I think he's kind of enabled it a little bit
to the point where she thinks...
Yeah, he said nothing.
They need to communicate.
Yeah.
If you can't have hard conversations
with your partner, you shouldn't be getting married.
Amen, sis.
What do you wonder?
What do you think, in Zara?
Well, I was just kind of wondering, like, from her perspective,
is it that she wants to be a stay-at-home wife?
Or is she just, like, now I have someone that can pay for everything for me
so I don't need to work?
True.
But again, I think that would come out in a good, hearty conversation.
Yeah.
Yeah, but then I asked him, I was like,
have you sat her down and talk to her about it?
And he goes, no.
I was like, okay, so you're talking to us about it on the radio,
and you haven't actually just sat down and...
Sometimes it happens with people, they think,
like, let's say they think someone's really hot
and they're lucky to be with them.
And they're like, well, I'm never going to get someone this hot
or this whatever it is.
So they don't want to rock the boat
because they feel grateful,
but then people pray on that gratitude and take the piss.
So we think James's fiancé is smoking.
I reckon.
She had 10.
Yeah, maybe.
So I hope I'll even if you're still listening.
Thanks, Sarah.
Yeah, thanks, mate.
I think that's the general consensus, isn't it?
Yeah.
You know?
Hopefully he's still listening.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Are you ready?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Let's take a trip back down memory lane.
Hit the jams.
Here we go.
Atamaria, good morning and welcome back to another producer diary.
I'm currently in Sydney celebrating my 25th birthday,
so if you saw me at the club last night, no, you didn't.
Let's get into it.
It was Easy Money Live Week with 10 of the best players from around the country
all competing for $10,000.
We got chatting about the big day on Monday morning
and Ash was getting a bit nervous about reading all the questions.
Oh, do any of you give me massages?
Yeah, obviously you had that.
Not the feet stuff.
If you want to massage my feet.
Yeah, she prefers foot stuff.
Just a bit of a fetish
When does it become not a massage
It should have been a bit of a fetishy thing
So I think sucking is across the line
I think when you don't want it on the live stream
I think more people have watched the live stream for that
But in the end it was Caitlin from Auckland
That took her easy money live
And walked away with $10,000
Caitlin
You
Have just become
$10,000 rich.
$1,000.
Well done.
They're bringing in a huge novelty check.
$10,000,
reading the dictionary has paid off.
Caitlin Africa, the winner of the first ever
easy money live again.
From the highest highs to the lowest lows,
the A-list was back once again this week,
and it actually started out super friendly
until it wasn't anymore.
Let's start on a good foot today and just promise
that we won't get angry with each other.
Yeah, I was going to suggest what you all just say.
I love you guys.
Shut up, Hatch.
We also got chatting about pet names this week
and asked you what names you and your partner call each other
when Sarah joined us on 100 of the Edge.
Yeah, I call my husband Fildo.
You have written in your text what he calls you,
but I don't think we're allowed to say it on the radio.
Oh, it's an S word.
Yeah, not on a bad way.
An S word that rhymes with, um, smut.
Hutt, yeah, yeah, okay.
Oh, well.
So you're having a laugh, aren't you really.
So naturally, Dan had to test out this pet name on his own wife.
and I'll let you decide how it went.
Turn off the light, your big s' ****.
You know what?
Can't I just call my wife a s'b?
No?
No.
I'm looking by your look on your face.
That's a no.
Absolutely not.
But it's an affectionate.
All right, you'll wank it.
Clint had a week technical mishap on Wednesday morning
when some random audio started playing.
It's time to jump into our 6 a.m. throwback.
Currently in the playlist is...
I want a gay man now.
That's not it.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Now, Clint, this is the thing.
That's what happens with the show.
They put together
little bits of audio, which have been edited together
to make me look like I'm...
I don't think that's edited together.
I think it's out of context.
There's a difference.
I played it by accident,
but I guess now we're talking about
I might have to play it again
so that people can listen.
It was no accident.
I want a gay man now.
Yeah, it sounds like...
Yeah, but I would have seen...
Why are we doing this now?
I just pushed the wrong button.
It was my bad.
It happens.
I got so many buttons back here.
And finally, the team attempted to hit the spot
to Ray's brand new song.
Where is my husband?
but not without a bit of drama first.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Oh, go.
I would like a ring, I would like a ring, I would like a big and shine.
Oh no!
But you know, we couldn't leave it at that.
The team came back with a vengeance,
and this might just be the greatest hit the spot moment ever.
I would like a ring, I would like a diamond ring on my wedding finger.
I would like a bright and shiny.
Diamond that I could wave around and talk and talk about it.
And if the day would come forgive me gather, I could have a time.
Until death of doa, doa, do I see a bad a, bad a better, bad of this man is testing me.
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, help me, help me, look, I need you to tell me, baby.
All righty, and that'll do it for producer diaries this week.
I hope you have a fantastic weekend.
I'm going to go get boozed in Sydney.
Hope you guys have a fantastic long weekend.
We'll catch you next week.
Thank you, Neves, not that you're listening, your lucky little bugger.
Celebrating your 25th birthday or an Aussie?
Although his old man was meant to go
And then all the flights
Down south
We're getting cancelled
So hopefully his old man's going to be able to get over there
In the next day or two
Few comments on the hit-the-spot video
Of producers Neeps
Of girls wanting him to be his real husband?
Yeah, someone said,
My husband is a guy in a chequered shirt and a cap
And I looked at the video, I was like,
Neepia
He always gets people commenting on him
And he is marriage material
Definitely.
Not yet though
We want him to sew his royal oats
Have some fun
And then settle down in five to ten years
This is the story I saw of his.
He looked like he might have been doing that yesterday.
Come on, but we don't know if that goes related to him,
so let's not make salacious comments just yet.
Come on, Nipes.
Yeah, unless it's your cousin.
Yeah, yeah.
And that's only legal in New Zealand.
I think it's illegal in New Zealand.
It's illegal there?
I think so.
It's legal in New Zealand.
You're allowed to marry your first cousin.
It's just second cousin New Zealand seems to have a problem with it.
No, that's legal as well.
I looked that up.
Did you?
It's fair game.
I don't know how they go about the whole kids thing, but.
You can't help who you fall in love with Clint.
I've got an uncle in Dagaville who's my uncle and my cousin.
Holy shit! You made it the whole way through.
If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast.
See you tomorrow.
