Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:20 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.
Starting point is 00:00:33 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.
Starting point is 00:00:46 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.
Starting point is 00:01:03 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.
Starting point is 00:01:20 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.
Starting point is 00:01:33 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.
Starting point is 00:01:41 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.
Starting point is 00:01:53 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?
Starting point is 00:02:13 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
Starting point is 00:02:29 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
Starting point is 00:02:43 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
Starting point is 00:02:51 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.
Starting point is 00:03:01 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.
Starting point is 00:03:19 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.
Starting point is 00:03:49 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.
Starting point is 00:04:06 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.
Starting point is 00:04:24 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.
Starting point is 00:04:37 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.
Starting point is 00:04:52 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
Starting point is 00:05:19 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.
Starting point is 00:05:37 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?
Starting point is 00:05:49 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
Starting point is 00:06:01 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
Starting point is 00:06:14 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.
Starting point is 00:06:28 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.
Starting point is 00:06:42 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
Starting point is 00:06:56 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
Starting point is 00:07:10 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
Starting point is 00:07:22 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.
Starting point is 00:07:45 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
Starting point is 00:08:05 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
Starting point is 00:08:24 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.
Starting point is 00:08:36 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.
Starting point is 00:08:51 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
Starting point is 00:09:09 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
Starting point is 00:09:29 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.
Starting point is 00:09:45 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.
Starting point is 00:09:54 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.
Starting point is 00:10:11 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.
Starting point is 00:10:28 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.
Starting point is 00:10:50 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
Starting point is 00:11:03 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
Starting point is 00:11:13 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.
Starting point is 00:11:24 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.
Starting point is 00:11:40 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?
Starting point is 00:11:55 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.
Starting point is 00:12:05 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.
Starting point is 00:12:22 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.
Starting point is 00:12:37 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.
Starting point is 00:12:48 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.
Starting point is 00:13:06 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
Starting point is 00:13:22 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.
Starting point is 00:13:37 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

Starting point is 00:14:38 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?
Starting point is 00:14:52 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.
Starting point is 00:15:12 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.
Starting point is 00:15:24 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.
Starting point is 00:15:38 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.
Starting point is 00:16:01 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.
Starting point is 00:16:11 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.
Starting point is 00:16:33 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.
Starting point is 00:16:47 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.
Starting point is 00:17:10 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
Starting point is 00:17:25 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
Starting point is 00:17:38 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.
Starting point is 00:17:50 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.
Starting point is 00:18:02 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.
Starting point is 00:18:20 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.
Starting point is 00:18:34 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.
Starting point is 00:18:47 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?
Starting point is 00:19:10 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.
Starting point is 00:19:22 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.
Starting point is 00:19:33 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.
Starting point is 00:19:44 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.
Starting point is 00:20:00 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.
Starting point is 00:20:15 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.
Starting point is 00:20:25 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?
Starting point is 00:20:34 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
Starting point is 00:20:51 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
Starting point is 00:21:09 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.
Starting point is 00:21:33 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,
Starting point is 00:21:49 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.
Starting point is 00:22:08 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.
Starting point is 00:22:26 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?
Starting point is 00:22:40 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.

Starting point is 00:23:07 She's called many times, but never got through until today. Julie, good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good. Did you hear Dan? owning your name before, Julie? No, not quite.
Starting point is 00:23:19 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. Okay, perfect.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Okay, you're ready to go? Yes. Starting with Jay, can I have a month? January. Something sweet. Jam. Something that keeps you warm. Jumper.
Starting point is 00:23:43 A car brand. Jaguar. A movie franchise. Journey to the Earth. Something you can read. Journal. A historical figure. Pass.
Starting point is 00:24:01 A type of tree. Juniper? A gemstone. Oh, good effort. Yeah, it was pretty good, actually. I thought you might have got Jesus. Yeah. That is true.
Starting point is 00:24:13 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.
Starting point is 00:24:28 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.
Starting point is 00:24:43 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.
Starting point is 00:25:02 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.
Starting point is 00:25:13 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.
Starting point is 00:25:28 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.
Starting point is 00:25:37 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.
Starting point is 00:26:03 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.
Starting point is 00:26:32 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.
Starting point is 00:26:59 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.
Starting point is 00:27:18 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.
Starting point is 00:27:31 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.
Starting point is 00:27:49 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.
Starting point is 00:28:01 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
Starting point is 00:28:17 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?
Starting point is 00:28:40 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.
Starting point is 00:28:58 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
Starting point is 00:29:18 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
Starting point is 00:29:31 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
Starting point is 00:29:48 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
Starting point is 00:30:04 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.
Starting point is 00:30:19 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.
Starting point is 00:30:38 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.
Starting point is 00:30:53 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.
Starting point is 00:31:12 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.
Starting point is 00:31:30 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.
Starting point is 00:31:47 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.
Starting point is 00:32:00 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
Starting point is 00:32:19 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.
Starting point is 00:32:35 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.
Starting point is 00:32:48 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.
Starting point is 00:33:04 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
Starting point is 00:33:19 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.
Starting point is 00:33:35 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.
Starting point is 00:33:45 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?
Starting point is 00:34:02 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.
Starting point is 00:34:15 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?
Starting point is 00:34:25 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.
Starting point is 00:34:36 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...
Starting point is 00:34:49 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...
Starting point is 00:35:04 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.
Starting point is 00:35:42 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?
Starting point is 00:36:09 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.
Starting point is 00:36:30 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.
Starting point is 00:36:45 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
Starting point is 00:37:07 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
Starting point is 00:37:24 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.
Starting point is 00:37:38 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.
Starting point is 00:37:57 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.

Starting point is 00:44:11 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
Starting point is 00:44:21 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.
Starting point is 00:44:34 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,
Starting point is 00:44:49 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.
Starting point is 00:45:03 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.
Starting point is 00:45:20 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.
Starting point is 00:45:35 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.
Starting point is 00:45:58 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
Starting point is 00:46:13 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.
Starting point is 00:46:28 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.
Starting point is 00:46:45 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
Starting point is 00:47:01 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
Starting point is 00:47:30 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
Starting point is 00:47:49 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.
Starting point is 00:48:03 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.
Starting point is 00:48:22 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
Starting point is 00:48:38 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.
Starting point is 00:49:00 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.
Starting point is 00:49:16 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.
Starting point is 00:49:28 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?
Starting point is 00:49:50 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,
Starting point is 00:50:10 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
Starting point is 00:50:29 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?
Starting point is 00:50:52 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.
Starting point is 00:51:13 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
Starting point is 00:51:30 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
Starting point is 00:51:43 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.
Starting point is 00:51:51 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.
Starting point is 00:52:00 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.
Starting point is 00:52:11 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?
Starting point is 00:52:26 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.
Starting point is 00:52:38 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
Starting point is 00:52:52 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.
Starting point is 00:53:02 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.
Starting point is 00:53:10 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.
Starting point is 00:53:26 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.
Starting point is 00:53:44 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
Starting point is 00:54:03 That took her easy money live And walked away with $10,000 Caitlin You Have just become $10,000 rich. $1,000. Well done.
Starting point is 00:54:22 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
Starting point is 00:54:41 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
Starting point is 00:54:55 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.
Starting point is 00:55:09 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?
Starting point is 00:55:25 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.
Starting point is 00:55:36 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
Starting point is 00:55:48 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
Starting point is 00:55:58 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.
Starting point is 00:56:07 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.
Starting point is 00:56:17 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.
Starting point is 00:56:40 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:57:58 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?
