Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. Some podcast educate, some inspire. We do neither. Welcome to the most unnecessary thing you'll listen to today. This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Clint Megandan with Ash London. The head's frecky. Hits harder.
Starting point is 00:00:17 Being on 6 o'clock. Good morning. Welcome Friday, mate it. Yes, we're here. This week has gone quickly. I must say. I'm really angry at you guys, though. Oh, what have we done?
Starting point is 00:00:30 birthday, have we forgotten? No, it was my birthday. First I was supposed to start. Remembered I had influenza. You should remember that, that's right. No, I remember because Ash goes on about how her husband's story is important.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Still, not your present. Is there anything, you're looking at me now, you're thinking, is there something you've forgotten to mention? You haven't done your hair? I got a haircut yesterday, and he took way too much off. Thank you. I think it looks lovely. Very short.
Starting point is 00:00:51 I think it's, the messy, look, suits you. That's normally my superpower. If a girl dies the hair or cuts the hair, It's like my thing that I'll notice. I was expecting you as soon as I walked in to say, hey, baby, looks so hard. I feel like when Spider-Man realizes he can't stick to walls anymore and he's like losing his balance.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Oh, he wouldn't be able to think about that because he'd be splattered on the floor, wouldn't it? The day he realizes that. Yeah, when I lose my powers, it's not really like life-threatening. No. But I always say, if you don't notice a haircut, it's usually a good thing because they've done a good job. It's subtle.
Starting point is 00:01:23 It's not groundbreaking. Yeah. And it's not like you've done a completely new hairdo. Like you've gone up for a pixie cut or something. And the guy that cut it actually knows young Clint Randall over here from the old Dancing with the Stars Days. And he said, oh, Clint, is he still taking his top off? Any opportunity he gets?
Starting point is 00:01:39 Yep. That's our boy. He'll be still doing that when he's 80. Yes. Which is a couple of years away. Oh, okay. No, it's enough. You've wrecked it.
Starting point is 00:01:49 We're going to play a song now. Just thought I'd bring you down because Ash has been brought down as well. Clint, Megan, Dan. Oh, my gosh. About to jump into our 6 a.m. throwback. Us versus the playlist. I don't like the playlist chants this morning. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:04 It's Rihanna. Who we love. Yeah. It's good stark. She has some absolute bangers. Yeah, but this I think is a whiniest song. I don't want to do this anymore. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Stop, wouldn't you? Is she saying that like if I leave, he'll die because I'm so amazing and I don't want to be a murderer? No, but it is Rihanna. I mean, I mean, she's. She is pretty cool. I mean, if I was with Rihanna and she left me, I'd be pretty. So you were never going to be with Rihanna. No, exactly.
Starting point is 00:02:34 It's not worth worrying about it. You imagine, though, you and your wife break up, and then she's like, yeah, good riddins. And then all of a sudden, like, Dan starts dating Rihanna. Your wife would be like, what a turn for the books. What a turn for the books. And I think we're safe in general. Hey, I'm sick of the negativity. Your haircut has made you negative.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it was like her main was her positivity, and now she's chopped it all off. You really think it had a main and now it's really short because I'm worried that it's too short. It's for a trim. Was it? Yeah. I think it looks fantastic.
Starting point is 00:03:05 You know what? They need to have, because Ashley Cajanii thinks it's too short, obviously. And they need to have a trim scale in the salon. And you go trim and then you point going, that's what you think a trim is. Or that's what, and they're obviously different extremes. Yeah, but he held up my hair. And I love the kite. It's a great guy.
Starting point is 00:03:20 He did a great job. Take a brook. But he held it up and he's like just that much. I was like done. And I was like, when I got home, I was like, whoa, wait a second. And then Adrian, this is how you know. Your husband came home and didn't say anything. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:33 No, your husband should always know. I'd leave him. Isn't that so funny, though? I know there's double standards across men and women. But like, whether we like or not, we're like, oh, great. Oh, amazing. Whereas women can be straight and go, hey, hecker, that sucks. You don't do it like that again.
Starting point is 00:03:50 I'll tell them, my friend, it'll take two months. It'll go back, you'll be fine. But for now, just find a better way to style it. That's how we would talk to each other. So long story short, let's get Brianna. out of the log. And I take you, or your Rihanna, and I raise you Eminem,
Starting point is 00:04:03 whose birthday at us today. Now, take a guess. Wait, before we do that, we're in a new studio today. And my dad is holding the microphone like he is running a bingo thing for another 80s. Because it's too short.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I have to like lean down like a hunchback of Notre Dame. Put your chair down. Why don't we swap places? No, I've got this one on the arm. No, that'd throw my OCD. I think if you were on my right and it was on my left
Starting point is 00:04:30 Yeah Oh God now someone's coming in a touch Does he not? I know how to operate a microphone NEPI I've been in radio for much longer than you my friend How come and twist my knobs? How come Nipia managed to lift up your mic sat in about two seconds then?
Starting point is 00:04:42 And I quite like holding it I feel like Rod Stewart Oh Sean is age again Rod Stewart The first example he could think of Anyway This is the one you're meant to be used
Starting point is 00:04:52 Oh you're on the wrong microphone down This is making a mountain out of a mole hill You started it I did it, she brought it up anyway You have to look at you holding the microphone Like it's ridiculous I reckon we play a bit of M&M but lose yourself
Starting point is 00:05:08 Come on It's a Friday song Oh sorry guys Oh okay well It's got ash yawning So not a great start It's gonna pump me up now come on Okay you ready
Starting point is 00:05:18 Knees weak arms heavy Okay Hit the jams baby Not because you said to do it I did it because I was already gonna do it It looks like you did it because I said... You're not the bus with me. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Starting point is 00:05:33 About to jump into a bit of a coffee ketchup. We should tell the people that given that the Adjavos are doing their 24-hour interview thing in our studio, which we share with them. Yeah. Yeah, so we're sharing a new studio today. Well, I'm in here usually every day for my other job. But you're in my chair, too. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Everything's different in here. The mics are different. The buttons are different. It's darker. I guess it's kind of like when you get like a new partner and you're like, yeah, they do that the same as my old one and change is as good as a holiday for some people and for others. They don't like change.
Starting point is 00:06:07 They're not used to that. I'm imagining you don't love change. No, I love it. Really? It's like a change. He loves change. I get very bored with same old, same old. Me too.
Starting point is 00:06:18 And then I feel like I'm wasting my life because there's so much to do with your life. And if I'm doing the same thing for too long, then I'm like, imagine all the opportunities that I'm missing out on because I'm just doing... Or maybe there are no other opportunities. Maybe not. The other option is to be home and employed. Yeah, well, the thing is, with Clint as well, he played soccer yesterday,
Starting point is 00:06:36 a bit of football for the, like, there was like this work league thing where it was all these different... Music Works, Charity, and our company put a team in, yeah. And he got a bit of a bump on the head from playing soccer. And he's saying that he's got a bit of a delayed concussion. I was when someone like, we'll whip the ball into the box and then you'll go up to hit it into the goal,
Starting point is 00:06:55 but the keeper came out and we both came out and clashed clumsy have you had a concussion check no I sort of woke up and I mean well woke up I got up and was a little bit
Starting point is 00:07:05 woozy but I carried on playing and seemed fine I'm surprised the medics didn't come and give you a check on the field or is a bit too light of provo it's soccer yeah no they actually they had them
Starting point is 00:07:17 the little ambo staff and they had the physio tent in fact one of our girls ended up having a guy come and kick her in the back of the knee and she blew her ACL in the first two minutes. Get me that guy's number. Yeah. Who's doing that in a friendly?
Starting point is 00:07:30 And another guy, because it's funny, because there are some people that play and some people who don't play. And this was obviously a guy who didn't play. He was just running past me and just pushing off at pace. He snapped his archelies. We didn't know at the time we found afterwards that's what he'd done. It was like when someone does a hamstring and they just like drop to the floor and no one's touch him.
Starting point is 00:07:47 But everyone's looking at me because I was behind him and I was like, I didn't touch him. And then he told everyone in the tent that that that clink guy from the edge did it. Really? I was like, mate, you're just too embarrassed to say that you obviously just took off faster than you ever have before in your life. And this was the same guy that did the girl? No, a different guy because we were saying to them,
Starting point is 00:08:06 hey guys, can we just calm down? This is a charity event. We've got girls on the field who don't necessarily play every week. And you've just gone and blown the ACL out in one of the girls. And he goes, oh, what about our guy? He's got to snap the Achilles. And we're like, yeah, but he did that to himself. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:20 No one did that. We didn't payback. Who were the team? Say it. Was it another radio station? No, it was like some MRI team. It's actually, you know, Nixon, he used to work on the edge. All those cousins.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Because they came up and they're like, we're Nixon's cousin, he was supposed to play. They're actually lovely dudes. We played them again later in the tournament. But I think it was just first game. Everyone was coming out a bit too excited. It was like, guys, calm down. We're not playing for money.
Starting point is 00:08:49 We watched Nixon once play football, like as in rugby, and he copped something in the face him. nose was bleeding and Buddy was there. And this was like four months ago, my son, buddy. And every week he'll ask his uncle Nixon's nose dot bleeding. He's obsessed with the fact that Nixon had a nose bleed four months ago. If it was still bleeding now, he would have lost a lot of blood. Well, I was like, I was fine, carried on playing.
Starting point is 00:09:15 I had a little bit of a ringing head when I was driving home. But then this one I worked up and I was like dry reaching into the toilet. I was like, I couldn't get anything up. But I was like, chat GPT on the way to work. And I was like, why you're pulled over. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Someone else is driving. Yes, he's got a driver.
Starting point is 00:09:32 This is the delay concussion I said, Hey, Philip, could you please drive me this morning? Giles, I'm going to text, so I need someone to drive me to work, thank you. Thank you. That's, yeah, it's better. It's better. All right, hey, coming up next, first call of the day. Why can't it be you?

Starting point is 00:10:12 And opalite is used for like Spiritual and Emotional Healing And a peace and communication Oh is she a crystal chick Oh god yes Oh yes First call of the day First call on the day
Starting point is 00:10:23 I'd say Taylor, if there was a hierarchy, she'd be the queen of Woo-Woo. She'd be up there. Really? Yeah. Yeah, I think everyone, all girls are these days. First call of the day. Morning, Haley. Good morning. Haley, you drive my growing up dream car.
Starting point is 00:10:44 What, a RAV-4? Oh, no, okay, I saw Mazda MX-5. No, she drives a RAV-4. I don't know. Did you used to drive an MX-5? No Well why does it say Weird like how on
Starting point is 00:10:57 Producer Carl's put in notes I don't drive a master MX5 Thanks mate You couldn't list all the car She doesn't drive No Just go with the one she does Because it's like
Starting point is 00:11:04 That's a classic hairdresser car That's like the joke It's like oh you drive an MX5 You're a hairdresser Hayley That's true I did hear about it being a hairdresser car And that's when I think My 16 year old self decided
Starting point is 00:11:15 Not for me Now here's the thing Haley You are a hairdresser And you're from the industry How many hairdressers actually drive MX5s Because I'd say not many
Starting point is 00:11:22 No, hardly any And I would have thought that a hairdresser car Was like a Suzuki Swift Right Suzuki Swift is a great In fact, my hairdresser in Australia Drives Suzuki Swift Yeah
Starting point is 00:11:34 If I've nailed it Yeah, exactly And you drive a Rev 4 Do you get offended by the line That Kanye West says What do you think I rap for To push an F in Rev 4? Like he's kind of dissing your car
Starting point is 00:11:44 I'm like, mate, I'm not working for one of those Or you're not bothered I'm not bothered Yeah I wouldn't be bothered by Kanye West He's got his own problem Yeah, but if I was driving a RAV for, my mates would always be like, yo, what do you think I'm rap for?
Starting point is 00:11:56 And I'd be like, yeah, I get it, mate, yeah. But did you hear on the Kim Kardashian did call her daddy and said that at the height of his mental health episodes, he would give away their Lamborghinis? He gave away like 10 of their Lamborghinies. Just giving them away. Just to his mate. Willie, nearly.
Starting point is 00:12:10 And he'd wake up and she'd like, wear our cars. And he'd go, I gave them away. And he'd buy more. The next day, he'd get another one just to replace the one he'd given to his best, mate. Crazy, eh? Now, Haley, what's harder? Just last question before we let you. move on. A man's
Starting point is 00:12:24 haircut, like a fade, or a woman's, just trim. A man's hair cut. Yeah, I agree. But yet they're much cheaper. I feel like girls are getting ripped off for their haircuts, because they're an easier cut. Really, they're just trimming them, whereas men are having all these different...
Starting point is 00:12:40 Yeah, my brother gets a fade for 19 bucks. It's such a random number. Guess how much my haircut cost yesterday? Like, $2.80. Shut up. Bang on. Bang on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:51 But like, it's like... Like, no offence, wasn't worth that. I should have gone and seen Haley. My mistake is no emotional connection with a man, though. That's true. True, true, true. Yeah, because honestly, the barber's not going, hey, Clint, so how was the trip with the kids?
Starting point is 00:13:08 I know you were nervous about it going in because, you know, there was a lot of travel involved. Like, I feel like we go to, like, a woman hairdresser. Do you guys actually write notes in the system? So you can be like, oh, what the hell was Ash doing last time? She was here, oh, that's right now I can pretend that I remember. Oh, you just remember? I was going to say, I actually just remember.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Sometimes I might get the details boggy and be like, weren't you going to like here last time or something? And I'm like, oh, my God, you've got such good memory. And they feel so special. Yeah. And they get up selling on all the products. Babe, I will take that new shampoo conditioner and heat styling balm that costs $80. Haley's not a normal hairdresser.
Starting point is 00:13:44 She remembers and she doesn't drive an MX5. Yeah. Yeah. Go on against the grain. Against the grain. Come on, babe. Come on. All right, Haley, you hold there.
Starting point is 00:13:54 We'll grab a details, get a Z-vouch route to use. You can spend in store over the weekend. No one's crust-only toast. You can grab fresh branded Z tonight. And also, who do we need to screw here to get the phones a bit louder? Yeah, they are very, I'm riding them as high as they go in this new studio. Are they coming out loud for you guys? Yeah, that's sort of normal.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Yeah, I'll come in to have a look. I had a max volume. Also, while we're doing admin stuff, can we get a sheet printed out when we get a set? Yeah, I'm doing the sheets now. Everything's weird and different here. I don't like it. Can someone come in? Tell me I'm pretty.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Thank you so much. Right. Yeah, the Ed Jarvos are doing their 24-hour interview with Barocca. So you can check it out on the live stream, Theedge.orgia.com. After our show, check it up. Yeah, I imagine, because they're over the halfway mark, they're starting to get a little delirious.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Yeah. It's good watching. What you could do is have that on a computer, have us on the Rover app. Yeah. Brilliant stuff. You need to watch. You don't need to listen to them.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Just see the delirium. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Gossiper entertainment. Glit Megan Dan with Ash London. Scandal. No time for the supermarket. Zed has grocery, every day essential scandal. All thanks to Zed. Yesterday, I talked about KFed, Kevin Fideline, started out as Brittany's backup dancer,
Starting point is 00:15:02 ended up being her husband. I don't know that's how they got together. Yeah, that's an upgrade, eh, being the backup dancer and then you're literally equal to Britney, really. Even after they got divorced and she went through her battles, he became the, he had like sole custody. She was paying $40,000 a month in child support. I just read this and it ended end of 2024
Starting point is 00:15:24 which is when their youngest son graduated high school So His kid's like No He's like losing his 40 grand a month Now what's he going to do He's going to release a memoir
Starting point is 00:15:33 Because he needs to make some more money Which is When you look at it that way It is very fishy And then when he's trying to sell The memoir doing interviews And he's begging but Brittany Even though I don't think she is well
Starting point is 00:15:46 No But there's no need to do it in the media Yeah so this is a bit of the audio that we played yesterday. He's doing the press tour and just airing their dirty laundry. I'm absolutely as a father terrified that one day I might wake up and my sons are going to have to deal with the unimaginable. I kind of have to sound the alarm that I truly feel that somehow, some way I just wish that their mom would get help. What's going on now, and I'm not going to get into details because I'm not going to just expose her personal life. But it's 10 times worse than anything
Starting point is 00:16:19 that I've said in my book. I've stayed with my... Yeah, it's pretty full on. Like, at first I was like... Because everything is saying is probably right and probably true for him. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:16:27 I'm not denying it. But it just feels so icky. So she, a couple of hours after that all went live. She went on Instagram. I did quite a long post. She said the constant gaslighting for my ex-husband
Starting point is 00:16:37 is extremely hurtful and exhausting. I've always pleaded and screamed to have a life with my boys. Relationships the teenage boys is complex. I felt demoralized by this situation and I've always asked and almost beg for them to be part of my life. and she goes on at the very end
Starting point is 00:16:51 she says I'll always love them and if you really know me you won't pay attention to the tabloids of my mental health and drinking I'm actually a pretty intelligent woman who's been trying to live a sacred and private life for the past five years
Starting point is 00:17:03 and that actually when you hear that like she says sounds very like your head screwed on yeah I think it's the crazy dances that she does just in that she posts Instagram and I'm not like she's done well because no one else is really doing that in their bikinis
Starting point is 00:17:18 but maybe that's just her thing. But in her defence, how many people put weird stuff on Instagram all the time? So many people. And I think for me, just plays into this idea that for her whole life, especially men, have just profited off of her. They have taken money from her. They have used her for her talent and then rinsed her and drained her and then made her look crazy
Starting point is 00:17:38 after they have taken advantage of her financially. That would send anyone. And I remember, like, she gets a lot of shit about her performing and how she lip-synced and all that stuff when she was performing. I saw her in Vegas, and it was the best production like I've ever seen for a show. Wow, really? And she was incredible. Like, dancing-wise, I think she did a little bit of lip-syncing, but who doesn't these days, you know?
Starting point is 00:18:01 And yeah, it was such... And no, no, and it was such a cool, and she had, she, you could tell that she had, her hand was in everything. You know, she knew exactly what she was doing. She's a smart lady. Yeah, and don't you? I really feel for her. I hope she comes good. I hope if she gets older, she has some...
Starting point is 00:18:17 good people around her, she gets him help. But most importantly, I hope one day she gets to have a proper relationship with her sons because from everything she puts on her socials, it's kind of the one thing that she wants. Right, Dan's Celebrity Crush is on the show with us next. Yeah, Chelsea Winter. Oh, the chef. I would say she's my celebrity crush. My wife loves her a bit of a lot of people out there will be loved to hear from Chelsea Winter.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Her cookbooks are like Bibles. Really? Bible in the Weeby household. Yeah, her banana chocolate chip muffins. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Clint, Megan Dan. We have Celebrity Chef.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Chelsea Windsor on the show with us. This morning. She's got a brand new book, Nourish, that is out now. You can get your hands on. Morning, Charles. Good morning. How are you? Good.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Better now we're speaking to you because I feel like I have lived with you for my whole life. My wife, Hannah. Her whole life, just adult life. Adult life. Since Chelsea's been putting out amazing cook books. My wife Hannah loves you, and everything we cook is. from one of your cookbooks. No way.
Starting point is 00:19:20 That is amazing. I'm so happy to hear that. Yeah, I've lived basically like most lunches on your banana chocolate chip muffins. Oh my goodness me. You're a very lucky man. I know, I am very, very lucky.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Chelsea, is it kind of like, you know, people that work at gyms, the last thing they want to do is when they finish their shift is actually work out themselves. What's your meal prep and stuff like? Are you actually like a wizard in the kitchen or you're like, no.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Just Uber eats every night. Yeah, because I can't be bothered. I'm literally writing books about it. I need a break. Yeah, I'm a wizard in the kitchen, but it doesn't mean that, like, I cook up a gourmet meal every night. No way.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Must be so much pressure when you get invited around and you go, oh, can I bring anything? Like, we get asked to make the playlist all the time. We go to parties, like, oh, she'll do the music. And you're like, oh, yeah. Do you just rock up with, like, booze? Like, that's a good one. No, I'll just be in the booze.
Starting point is 00:20:12 No, I mean, I just rock up with something from one of my books, pretty well. I'd be pissed off if I invited Chelsea Winter and she just bought booze. True. Yeah. But honestly, if I get home and I'm really lazy
Starting point is 00:20:25 or if the kids have gone, you know, to their dads for the night, I don't even cook. Yeah. I just like have a bit of toast. Oh, gosh. I love a bit of toast. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Underated. Buttered toast at night when you buy yourself and then kind of cup of tea with it. What's your favourite recipe from Naurash? Like the one thing that you know is just every time people make it, it's going to impress. It's like that single on a new outfit. It's going to impress.
Starting point is 00:20:45 It's like that single one. The marshmallow slice is definitely one of my favourites because it is just so fun to make and it is incredible to eat. And the Tick and Pie 2.0, which is like the healthy version of, well, healthier version of the one from at my table, my first book. Are you just sitting there making up new recipes going, I wonder if that would taste good with that. And then you throw it together, you go, nope. Or you're like, oh, that's amazing. Yeah, you mean when I'm actually testing the recipe. Yeah, like if you're going to write a new book, I imagine,
Starting point is 00:21:19 you kind of just throw in shirt at the wall and just seeing what sticks. And like, I don't know, it's like musicians, they wouldn't just sit down with a guitar and just write an incredible song every time. Well, yeah, I mean, it's definitely, as I've gone on in the process, it does slow a lot easier.
Starting point is 00:21:34 I find it really easy to just go into the kitchen and be like, okay, I want to make a chicken dish and I want to have this, that and the other in it. And I'll just go in there and it will just kind of come together because, you know, I've tested and literally created hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of recipes in my time. But, you know, sometimes it is a bit more of a challenge to create a recipe.
Starting point is 00:21:54 If it's, you know, for example, this book is all refined sugar-free, right? So making a marshmallow slice using maple syrup in the marshmallow instead of just white sugar, it's different. So it's a real learning process for me as well. Like it's a real, like I put a lot of research into it, a lot of time, a lot of energy. And to make sure that when people cook the recipes, they work. get around the new cookbook. Also, you're going to be
Starting point is 00:22:18 a new Plymouth, Nelson and Tauranga as well over the next week or two. That's right. Yeah, if you're in those areas, yeah, make sure you go and say hi to Chelsea and thank you so much for coming on the show. Thanks for having me, guys.

Starting point is 00:26:18 Okay, hey, eight o'clock this morning, just want to let you know, John is an international truth booth applicant who's going to be talking to us about the secret he's been keeping for about 40 years. I'm not carried guilt. It isn't right what I did. And it scared the hell out of me. Has the statute of limitations passed now where if you went to the police and you told them the secret, they'd be like, ah, well, you're fine.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Yes, I actually spoke to a lawyer about this before we did this radio spot. Yeah, so that's coming up after eight, what did he do? We've never had someone had to seek legal counsel before talking to us. Maybe more people should, to be fair. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Oh, maybe the secret family should have done that.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Something a little lighter, though, the producer diary highlights of the week, according to our producer NEPs, let's see who the MVP was, and who was lucky to still have a job after this week. I think it was. Asamaria, good morning, and welcome back to another producer diaries. The team's back. after a well-deserved week off, so let's get into it. We started the week off with some really sad news
Starting point is 00:27:16 that legendary actress Diane Keaton had passed away. Ash was absolutely devastated, but Clint didn't quite understand crying over a celebrity. Luckily, listener Hayden keeps old tan boy in check, though. Wonder if you've ever cried over the passing of a celebrity? Someone just texted saying that they cried when... Don't read it out. It's mean. All right, read it out.
Starting point is 00:27:35 I cried when Clint Randall's TV career died. Maybe two of us then, Hayden. Thank you, buddy. That was Hayden's growth, for me. Good on, you, Hayden. I thought that was from your wife, because of the salary, went down. Clint also kept digging his grave that morning when he said this.
Starting point is 00:27:51 My wife wouldn't even let me weigh her at night time. No way as if. And when I say, when I say weigh her. He's like, time of your way in? Come on, you've just got home. No. And later that morning, you can bet that Dan wouldn't let him forget it either. Dan bumped into someone who accidentally saw him naked back in the day.
Starting point is 00:28:12 over the weekends and we're all going to weigh ourselves which one of us is lighter people are saying ash i disagree as if i was just going to brush past someone seeing dang naked can we just get a bit more context though please they saw me naked up a tree which i can explain next now it's time for a game of edge breakfast out of context i reckon we'll let you handle it this week ash so bad i've never wanted to nail something more. Beautiful, that should do it. As Dan can attest to, there's not much worse than being caught in the nude, and Clint's wife
Starting point is 00:28:48 Jamie found herself in that situation this week. My wife yesterday heard me coming into the garage, not an euphemism. We didn't think it was, but yeah. No one thought that, darned. And was waiting for me with her pants down, just like
Starting point is 00:29:04 bare ass, just for fun. She also didn't realize that I had organised for a guy to come around to wash the house, or at least to a quote to see what I was going to cost to do a bit of a water blasting around the house. So literally as I'm pulling in, I see the van pull up and the guys, yeah,
Starting point is 00:29:20 I see the washed stuff written on the side. So I leave the gate open so he can pull into the drive. Nice. So as he's getting out of his car, I'm getting out of mine, he's walking in. My wife's a pair of us. What a legend! There's he goes, so does he know how quick
Starting point is 00:29:35 my wife tries to get her fans back because she heard a voice that wasn't mine. He's like, you're still going to have to pay for this, that age. And that's all we've got time for this week. It's beer o'clock for me. We'll see you same time, same place next week for another producer diary. Bear o'clock?
Starting point is 00:29:51 That might have been when you were creating that yesterday. And I hope you don't meet at quarter past seven on a Friday morning, Neeps. No, no, I was talking about right now. Yeah, no. Clint doesn't start until 10 a.m. Yeah. That's his cut off. And the weekend starts.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Clint Megand Dan. Clint Megan Dan with Ash London's. Here comes the bribe. All right. offering you cash to wind up someone in the bridal party ahead of your wedding. Jamie is the brave groom deciding to wind up his wife to be. $500 cash on the line if you get it done, Jamie. When's the wedding?
Starting point is 00:30:24 The 21st of November. Okay. So it's not far away. Okay. So I would imagine, is there still a lot to do? Are you like, no, we're pretty well now just right in the way to the finish? Yeah, we're pretty sorted now. I mean, we've planned mostly everything, all the food and everything's sorted.
Starting point is 00:30:40 We're still trying to make sure that there's nothing big. have missed. Have you booked to the venue? I hope so. Yes, yes. We're actually getting married on the beach, but the reception will be held at one of the batches that we will play around with. It'll be over in Takaka, just outside of Nelson. Beautiful part. I thought you said Antarctica. Yeah. It's a winter wedding. Yeah. Now, how would your wife to be feel, your beautiful fiancé feel, if, say, for instance, the venue of the reception fell over. Fell over. Fell down, you know, there was a cancellation. there.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I think giving her close to this to the wedding, it would definitely be a bit of a freak out situation. I think she normally keeps herself pretty composed, but yeah. How many people are expecting to attend the reception, Jamie? There's going to be about 30 people. Okay, well, what if, for $500, your bribe is to convince your bride to be that, unfortunately, they've double-booked your reception venue.
Starting point is 00:31:42 but they've come up with some sort of a plan B and just see if she's one of those brides that goes, you know what, babe, as long as I'm marrying you and you're saying yes and I'm saying yes, I don't care where it is. Yeah. Awesome. Sounds like a plan.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Okay. Okay, we're going to put the call through. All right, here comes the bribe. Hello? Hey, honey, it's Jamie. Sorry, I'm calling you off my workmates phone. My phone's died. Oh, hi.
Starting point is 00:32:08 I have some kind of awkward news. don't freak out so one of the reception venue that we planned to sort of have the reception at they've just sent me an email and said that they have actually double booked us and
Starting point is 00:32:27 they don't think that they're going to be able to accommodate us anymore so I think I have a bit of a plan what about what about one of the other reception uh one of the other batches that we had what one was it um the actual place we're having the reception at
Starting point is 00:32:46 yeah it's the big one yeah I'm I can go jump on it right now and have it so what I was thinking is I don't know if the batch is going to be available um to sort of plan it out there they said we could do it at the in the garage but I think that's pretty crap
Starting point is 00:33:07 um do you Don't think of a fucking garage. Just cancel the reservation. Nah, we won't, no, we'll... Where we meant to sleep around in a fucking garage? Okay, do you think that maybe I can jump on on my next lunch break and have maybe a little look to see it, something like that, or...
Starting point is 00:33:33 I'll have a look, it's fine. Okay, all right. are you all right yes it is a really lovely garage yeah it's Dave here from the venue oh
Starting point is 00:33:52 Shana's like what don't worry it's okay I've cancelled the other booker you're on it's Clint and Dan and Ashland and here from the Edge Breakfast and it's a little segment
Starting point is 00:34:04 called here comes the bribe we bribed your fiancée to try and wind you up for 500 bucks. Did it work, Shana? Well, we're not sleeping in a garage. I believe you called me a fucking garage. Which I mean, we're not open to that happening. All right, well, you order a few more bottles of champagne on us. We'll get that cash prize out to you for here comes the bribe.
Starting point is 00:34:30 And sort of sorry, not sorry, Shanae. You have a beautiful wedding and enjoy your marriage with Jamie. He's marrying what seems like a lovely guy. Yeah. Thank you. Good luck, guys. Have fun. Bye. It's going to be an awkward conversation tonight, I reckon, over dinner, guys. That did not impress her much.
Starting point is 00:34:48 No. Oh, yes. Is that a shinai again? Yeah, from this moment on, no more. Pranks. He definitely got her good. Man, I feel like a woman. I do, though.
Starting point is 00:35:00 To really, really. Likely, she's still the one for him even after that. Yeah, nice. It's all up from here. Okay. Now you're doing beside stuff. You know too many should I do like ourselves. Clint, Meg and Dan.
Starting point is 00:35:13 We've got some sad news to deliver to our Idfano this morning. Ash, you're right? So a couple of months ago, sorry. We all met and fell in love with beautiful Michelle and we're doing a segment about turning 40 and embracing our age. And Michelle called in to tell us that she had finally got to a place in life where she could embrace her age
Starting point is 00:35:37 before finding out that she had a terminal cancer diagnosis and we all got to meet Michelle and have lunch with her and get to know her over the past couple of months which was such a privilege and I know that our edge family listening all fell in love with her as well and yesterday we got the horrific news
Starting point is 00:35:58 that she had passed away at home surrounded by her family Michelle was just 40 years old and she leaves behind and her husband, Tim, and this is the hard part for us as well. A beautiful young daughter. Yeah, we're all parents, and I think her daughter has been in our heart since we found out just thinking about her and her family
Starting point is 00:36:19 and all the people that loved her. We want to send out so much love and thanks and deepest condolences to Michelle's friends and family and everyone who knew and loved her. What a privilege for us. who have gotten to know her. It was. Yeah. A joy.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Yeah. Michelle, we count ourselves so lucky to have been able to call you a friend, even if for just a short time. Yeah. And we've put together a little bit of tribute for you and your family this morning. I obviously am now in a position where I'm forced to, like, rego over my will to make sure everything's sorted for my daughter and my husband and my family and all that. And, like, you know, I have to plan my funeral.
Starting point is 00:37:04 It's hard to bring it up with me. my friends like oh what music and yeah they just kind of don't really want to engage they're like oh don't talk about that don't talk about that now um yeah because they i guess it isn't normal to talk about someone's funeral or how they want to go out yeah eyes of emerald and white more precious than gold hands are soft as the sun but harder to hold tonight could be the last time your heartbeat and mine or ever this close
Starting point is 00:37:46 life can cut like a knife that's just how it goes I guess maybe I haven't really let myself think about too much um i mean i'd love to say i'm okay with it i'm at peace with it but now i yeah i definitely will get scared i reckon um and that's when i reckon maybe a bit of an anger might come through because yeah i'm i'm gonna be missing so much i've got a wedding anniversary in january i don't know if i'll make that um i won't get to see my daughter be a teenager
Starting point is 00:38:24 You know, I'll miss Such little simple things like that So yeah, I reckon When it comes time, I'll probably be scared to go But till the day I die I will dream of you In a million lives You're the one I choose
Starting point is 00:38:51 I love you to my breath you're gone but something in the heaven tells me then we'll be together again I'll see you all around the bend You're gone, but something in the heavens tells me that we'll be together again.
Starting point is 00:39:28 I finally feel like I get to be me because I turned 40, and then I got cancer. So then I was just like, oh, I finally, like, I don't care about what other people are thinking I'm just happy to do me, because, yeah, life is a bit short, and I've got to enjoy it while I can. I will dream of you So Michelle, I am going to split the $10,000 with you and go 50-50 and give you $5,000. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Oh, I've been lucky enough.
Starting point is 00:40:09 I've got amazing friends and family and have been helping me out and because it was terminally, she got access to my life insurance as well. So I'm not going to take I've came from you when you deserve it just as much Yeah Oh my gosh
Starting point is 00:40:25 Oh you're so sweet, thank you Wow Two amazing, amazing women It's just so wonderful Something out of heaven Tells me that we'll be together again Together again Oh
Starting point is 00:40:44 Yeah there's definitely time where I just sit and I'll be like, man, it's like it's a beautiful night looking at all the start. Yeah. And I'll be, I'll be for ages just looking at that work. Yeah, I think I do capture the small moment for me a lot more than I used to. Puts things in perspective, doesn't it? I think on a Friday morning. Yeah, you know, yesterday.
Starting point is 00:41:16 I just want to tell a quick story. I was coming to work and obviously we didn't know that it was Michelle's last morning and I was leaving their house and I looked up into the sky and I never do that and the sky was full of stars. It was so beautiful that I took a photo of the sky and then to hear that about Michelle
Starting point is 00:41:36 looking at the sky and having that moment it's just like I just know that the heavens were ready to welcome her and I know that she's at peace and out of pain And we just love you so much, Michelle. She's a beautiful soul. She is. We will all be hugging our kids tighter today
Starting point is 00:41:53 and letting go of the dumb little things that don't matter. So thank you for all you taught us. We love you. And there's so many messages coming through from everyone sending their love to your family. It was just a few weeks ago that we had lunch with it. And she was just so full of life even then. So it makes it harder to know that just in that short period of time.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Yeah. How fragile life can be, and it's a nice reminder to everyone else, the rest of us, that still are here and still have a difference to make. Yes, absolutely. And an impact to have on other people. Yeah. Let's not waste a moment, hey?
Starting point is 00:42:27 No. We love you guys. We have been hearing your stories all this week. And one lucky winner will score return flights and $1,000 to be reunited with a person that, from their past, I guess they were the right person, but they were just the wrong time. Happens in life, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:42:46 In other circumstances, we could have been together. Maybe you were in relationships at the time, both of you, and then those relationships have ended, and now is the perfect time. Once in a lifetime opportunity to see what could have been. And here are some of our favourite stories of, I guess, people that are just still pining over the one that got away. I was at uni, I was studying, and this guy was my university sweetheart. We were together while we were both studying in the same degree.
Starting point is 00:43:14 He was a couple years older though And he ended up graduating And going off to his kind of big Corporate job And I still had quite a few years left of my degree So that was kind of when it all ended But yeah we left on really good terms And still always just think about what could have been
Starting point is 00:43:35 And I think probably at the time I was so young But I didn't realise how I felt And I've always wished since that I'd said certain things that I didn't say at the time. Actually, that one was our favourite and that one is our winner. Congratulations, Katie. You've won $1,000
Starting point is 00:43:53 in a flight to go and meet hopefully your husband. I can't believe that. Oh my goodness. You're very welcome. You just got one promise to make us that you don't chicken out. Just go spend the grand and don't go. Guys, can I tell you something? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:12 So I actually, so I was in a relationship and I thought that this is the one that was finally going to make me get over him. You know, two weeks ago, that ended. We were together for a year and he broke my heart two weeks ago. So this feels like a sign that it was meant to be, I've got to go over and I've got to tell my long-lost love. Oh my gosh. Oh, I said so, promise me you'll keep us up to date, give us an update. Oh, well, you guys are going to meet the wedding, so I have to. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Oh, I can't wait. I'm so excited. I love weddings. And so what are you going to, are you going to, like, let them know you're coming, or you're going to surprise them? Oh, I think, I don't know, I have to plan this out, but, I mean, we've kept on such good terms, I'm sure, just like a little cheeky meet up and can always put it as the whole, oh you know I'm just I'm in town
Starting point is 00:45:08 I'd love you to show me the good spots and then kind of yeah tell them what I need to say and then once you fall back in love when you're together you can after like a month or so you can admit the truth which is you went I'm live on a national radio show to profess your love to him to millions of strangers
Starting point is 00:45:24 yeah great we love it right he'll get a ring on it straight away I'd say come on flip your phone into record we want to hear the first meet of the seven years a worthy winner Katie we're going to send a camera crew with you so you can film the whole thing
Starting point is 00:45:36 Are you holding there, Katie? Starting out of the 10-B show, it's a second break. Well, make sure you got your passport up to date. We'll get your flights sorted and then we'll chuck a thousand bucks in your account for some spending money. All the best, hopefully, getting to reunite with your forever person. Oh, thank you so much, guys. Good luck. Now, the film is called Regretting You.
Starting point is 00:45:56 It's based on the novel by Colin Hoover, a very famous romance author. I got to watch the film and interview some of the stars recently. This is, I was chatting with McKenna Grace and Mason, Fames, who are the two leads, and I asked about regret in love, and McKenna had some very sage advice. Regretting you, do you believe that you're allowed to have regret in love, or do you just have to, like, own it all? Ooh.
Starting point is 00:46:21 I mean, to each their own, I think that you're allowed to have, of course, you're allowed to have anything. You're allowed to have regret. In my eyes, I think, going with the theme of the movie, the whole thing is, like, you like, don't regret anything. Because everything made me who I am. But I think that. that it's okay to regret
Starting point is 00:46:37 things as long as we learn from them. I think it's more about learning from the things that we regret and also trying to accept that things we've done make us who we are and that's something to be proud of or at least be content or happy with. It's in cinema's next Thursday
Starting point is 00:46:54 so you get amongst it regretting you. It looks like a hell of a film and we appreciate you guys giving us a flight and some cash to give away. So cool. Imagine that. Just a movie release like actually having that sort of flow on effect to change Katie's life. No, we're about it. That's our
Starting point is 00:47:10 movie from an hour on. It's the film we brought us together. Yes. This could be the start of the rest of Katie's life. I know. I can't wait to hear. All she'll get there and she was like, I actually got ugly and, you know. Yeah. And he's like I'm with someone else. Yeah. Oh, he bet. She'd better not get there and he's got a boyfriend. Oh, boy. Boyfriend. That would be
Starting point is 00:47:26 a turn for the books. Clip me and Dan. Last chance today. Very last chance to play online game, easy money. yourself in the draw for the easy money live event next Wednesday where someone will win $10,000. Yeah, we're just going to keep playing
Starting point is 00:47:41 until someone wins, right? In studio we're not going to be in the easy money pit. Someone's digging a pit this weekend. These Adjabo kids, then they're being hardcore 24 hours. We might go longer. Yeah. It might be six hours. 48 hours. So here's the thing. Play the online game.

He's like Bradley Walsh from the chase. We should spray tan actually before Wednesday, Dan, and tuxitos. I'm just going to look pasty. Oh, yeah? Yeah, something's lirty.

Starting point is 00:52:17 They're going to live stream up as they're going through their barocco 24-hour interview. They started 5 o'clock last night and have not slept. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. The Truth Booth. With Clint Megand Dan and Ash London.
Starting point is 00:52:30 We have an international truthbirth this morning. John joins us. Thank you for being on the show, John. Oh, thank you for having. Okay, so I'm just saying John is a fake name to keep his anonymity. Anonymity. Anonymity. Where are you calling us from in the world today, John?
Starting point is 00:52:47 I'm in New England, America. Okay, now I sense an accident. You didn't like leave the country and move to America because I heard you've done something naughty. No, I never left. I'm exactly where I was the whole time Okay It's an interesting truth Bruce
Starting point is 00:53:03 Because a lot of the time It's relationship based And it's something they haven't told their partner But yours is very different Yes So you've done something Who does know the truth About what you've done
Starting point is 00:53:12 As far as your friends, family People you see every day Only my wife Okay What? We're the second, third and fourth people To hear the secret That's wild
Starting point is 00:53:27 Okay Give us a little Give us a teaser So what is the secret before you drop the full bomb that you've been sitting on for a number of years? Okay, almost 40 years ago, when I was 16, I went on a weekend-long crime spree that turns out to be a felony, but I was never caught. Wow. A weekend. Now, when you...
Starting point is 00:53:49 A felony is, I think, in New Zealand, a lot of people don't know what that means, but that means basically breaking the law, doesn't it? It's something that's against the law. Did you know at the time that you were breaking the law? I knew I was breaking a law. A felony is a serious crime. A misdemeanor is a small crime. So say I shoplifted a candy bar, that's a misdemeanor. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:09 If I steal a car, that's a felony. Okay, so you've done something highly illegal over a weekend. And how long ago was this? Almost 40 years. Do you carry any guilt about it? Or is it one of those crimes that's like, yeah, I could go to jail, but no one really got hurt? I'm not carried guilt. It isn't right what I did.
Starting point is 00:54:28 And it scared the hell out of me, but I don't carry any guilt. I just don't tell people about it because it just makes me look bad. Has the statute of limitations passed now where if you went to the police and you told them the secret, they'd be like, well, you're fine. Yes, I actually spoke to a lawyer about this before we did this radio spot. Wow.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Yeah, the statute of limitations has expired. Oh, my goodness. Well, I can't be in a weird way, a horrible way. I cannot wait to hear exactly what he did. Is it just you, or is it you and others involved and you share the responsibility in the crime? It was just me. And when people harmed, was there anyone harmed in this crime?
Starting point is 00:55:11 No, maybe just the corporation in a non-physical way. Okay. I'm ready for the bomb. I'm ready for the bomb. John in Salem, Massachusetts. Over 40 years ago, you went on a crimes brief for which you have never, I've been held responsible. What did you do?
Starting point is 00:55:30 Well, in those days, the ATM machines were new. There were a lot of loopholes in the ATM back then, and there was a feature called Deposit with Cash Back. It was a check-cashing feature, but for some reason it ran on the honor system. So eventually this was changed because of guys like me. So what you did was you put a check into an envelope, and then you deposited into the ATM, and it cashed it for you,
Starting point is 00:55:53 trusting that you're giving them a real check. Oh my God. I can't believe that's a real thing. They are asking for trouble. Okay, so I guess you cheated the system. How much did you cheat the system out of? Cash was. It's a great question, Dan, and an answer
Starting point is 00:56:07 we will get right after this from Sabrina Carpenter. No, I want it now. No, we have to play music too, buddy. It's the edge. The Truth Booth. With Clint Megan Dan and Ash London. International Truth Booth with John. He just admitted the back.
Starting point is 00:56:23 In the day, years and years ago, used to deposit a cash check and then it would just give you the cash. Then the bank would worry about the check later on. He was like, I see a loophole here, which is probably why they don't do that now. There's a lot of questions, though, because how did he not get caught out? And has it affected his life long term. Stealing money from a bank is always, you'd always be looking over your shoulder. All right, so how much did you get away with in the end? How much did you steal from the ATM job?
Starting point is 00:56:49 $10,000, which today would be about $30,000. I mean, I applaud the downfall of any bank. But I imagine, even though the system seems pretty dodgy, and there are a lot of loopholes, they didn't have cameras or anything. You were never worried that they were going to hunt you down or find you. They knew exactly who I was. When I realized this loophole existed,
Starting point is 00:57:11 I opened bank accounts at five different banks on the same day. And in those days, a miner could open a bank account, and all you needed was $20. I took 100 boxes in a week or so. they mailed you your ATM card and then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday I put the limit on each card knowing that by Monday or Tuesday
Starting point is 00:57:30 they would check the machines and realize that all the envelopes I put in that are supposed to have checks in them were all empty. Oh my God of the smartest criminals a whole time. So I was able to get $400 a day per card. Yeah, but then, okay, why only five bank accounts? Why not get 10?
Starting point is 00:57:48 Oh, come on. He's a minor. He didn't have a car. Because what were you spending the money on, John? The reason only five is because I had to walk or bike to the event. I was 16 years old. Yeah. You know, so any other bank would have been too far away. If I'm being real frank with you, I spent it on beer, marijuana, and girl. Classic.
Starting point is 00:58:08 There's another felony right there. Every man listening's going, yeah, my boy. Las, lads, lads, lads. Wait, so you said they knew who you were because all of a sudden your bank details are your first and last real name. So how were there no repercussions? I don't know. They did call and say that I put in an empty envelope. I said, no, I didn't, and that was the end of it.
Starting point is 00:58:28 And they all did that. See, if they knew about each other, I think that they could prove it. But I also did it five times at each bank, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I did. So they could prove it. Did you stop because they wised up to it and it was no longer possible, or did your conscience stop you doing it? It wasn't my conscience. I'm not a psychopath. I do have a conscience.
Starting point is 00:58:50 But I stopped because they froze my account. Right. Okay, so it was no longer possible, really. Wow. And so, but when do you be worried? Like, when did you stop worrying at what age that they were going to come for you and want this $10,000 back?
Starting point is 00:59:03 About two or three weeks after I got the phone calls, I started thinking about it. And I said, every time the phone rang or every time someone knocked on the door, I had an anxiety attack. Yeah. Because today was the day that I was going to jail. My mother didn't answer the phone for four years.
Starting point is 00:59:18 I would run to answer that phone. When you found out that the statute of limitations had expired, even though it was so many years later, was there a sense of relief, finally? Yes, because, well, the one thing, while I was not arrested and I did not face legal repercussions, I was placed on a do not bank list in the United States. And I was unable to open a bank account until I was in my 40. Wow. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:59:43 So how did you get paid through your 20s and 30s when your boss wants to put money in a bank account? What did you do? So we have check-cashing places like in the lower-income neighborhoods. And the problem with those is that they charge you an exorbitant amount of money to cast the check. So I think it's 10% they take. Probably wasn't worth it then in the long run then. When you're working it out, you've lost more than you made. Yeah, I couldn't bank.
Starting point is 01:00:05 I couldn't buy a car. I couldn't get a credit card until my 40s. Wow, John, what a crazy-ass story. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. That is insane. That's so cool. Well, not cool, but you know what I mean. Crime is not cool.
Starting point is 01:00:18 The story is cool, though. But I mean, to be fair, John, I don't hate you for it. You're a 16-year-old that saw a massive loophole because banks were doing one of those things they do in New Zealand where they just have fruit and veggies on the side of the road and hope you pay for them when you take them. I can't believe they're running an ATM system like that. Right, and if you think about it, I couldn't have been the only one doing it.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Sure. I think it probably was they looked at it like, oh, we created this loophole. We have to steal this loophole and stop this from happening. John, thank you so much I don't know what got into me it's not my nature I don't know what got into me I just thought I had a bright idea
Starting point is 01:00:54 but you just have to say that for legal purposes don't you? That's what your lawyers told you to say Hey look you haven't banged up somebody else while you're married and you've got a secret family on the other side of the world mate so uh no home no foul no that was my grandfather all right
Starting point is 01:01:10 thank you John appreciate your time so much can we get your grandfather's number we'll get him on next We can do that It's a good one The Clint Meg and Dan podcast Joining us is Steph who has

Starting point is 01:02:37 I think it was like the 1 a.m. kind of to 4 a.m. Where it was like you were in the middle of the night. There's a couple of the crappier interviews there, where they should, you know, the internationals. Well, no, the internationals have been during the night because of the time difference. So I think I kind of, about three, four o'clock for me, I was just like, I hit a wall and I just like had a little lie down on the couch.

No, not desert island, a dessert island, just to mix it up. A dessert island. So, you know, if you do struggle, this way, it's to, like, come up with something. Last question, and be honest, okay? Who's annoying you more, Sean or Harrison?
Starting point is 01:04:02 Literally, neither of them. Oh, but if you had to kick one off the island to the desert island. If you don't answer, Dan dies. I'll kill him right now. Right in the jugular. Come on, Steph, save me. I would rather have a happy room that I'm about to go into, and I'd rather tend to be.
Starting point is 01:04:18 Oh, Sean's annoying you more. Interesting. I'm going to let him know. Well, if you get to 5 o'clock and you will have been up 35 hours straight personally, Steph.
