This is a podcast from Rover. Is back in the best way. Make sure your 2026 is kept on. Here's Clint Meg and Dan. Good morning. Yeah, we're out. Blame it on the blood moon, Clint. I know.

We need to do that. Blame all these things that are happening at the moment on the blood moon. First time, last time we'll see it between now and 28. It was last night about midnight, wasn't it? It was the most visible. Although I got up this morning at 4 a.m. When it goes off, you get up. It was bright outside from the moon.

Yeah. I was like, what's, is there a life? on outside of the bit, no, just very bright from the Blue Moon. Are you sure it was the moon you were looking at? It reminds me a few years ago when I came in to look at the Blood Moon, went out into my deck and took a photo with it and felt really inspired, and it was a lamppost.

Brilliant. Through the trees. How blind are you? It was through the trees. Right. You're like, it's not even, it's sort of a yellowish. It's not even really... It's not even... It's not even... They're really overhymed the redness. To be honest. I've looked at a Blood Moon before. They happen every

couple of weeks, don't they? And they're never that. good. I've never gone, that is incredible. Did your wife charge your crystals though? Because I know she's a crystal charger? No, she forgot. Oh, yeah. Whoa, so now she's got away until 2028. Damn. And it's her tarot card she charges. Oh, sorry. The crystals are all good.

Oh, they're fully charged. Boys, the Himalayan salt lamp. Yeah, that one's literally plugged in. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't need charging. All right, Liam Lawson on the show at 8 o'clock this morning. Dan's Idol. Exciting. So exciting. Surprise visit after the show.

show you today so we'll bring you all those highlights at 8 o'clock and of course your chance to win 10 grand at 7 and 8 again this morning I'd be listed Clint megan dan oh oh my gosh ask versus the playlist for your 6 a.m throwback this is our competition this morning team what else we got what else we I just love the video clip where it's that little kid riding around the world yeah he's riding around the world um not not music related today but I was looking up not many famous uh music birthdays today but today sadly is Catherine O'Hara's birthday. Oh, from Schitts Creek who passed recently. Yeah, who passed away

just recently. She'd be 72. What's her favourite song? Yeah. I felt like it might be old. Herr's favourite song. Because Dan found, was it Robbie Williams or something having a birthday? Why were you getting me to find Take That?

Well, no, Take That. I kicked off a world tour on this day back in like 1994. Robbie Williams was the lead singer of Take That. might even be too crusty for more FM. It is. It's super crusty. This is far too old. Yeah, I don't think we're going to be playing

a kiss at the end of the rainbow from the 2003 film A Mighty Wind. No, probably not. Is that Catherine's favourite? Yeah, well, she's sung it. Isn't her second favourite a hoodie in the blowfish? Oh, there's two. She would love that. Catherine did not. It's too old.

Did she love counting crows? Counting crows. Yeah, wait, let me just Google that. Yes, she did, Clint. Yeah. The other option is Britney. Spears. On this day in 2009 kicked off her biggest world tour of her career

and one of the highest grossing tours of all time. Do you know who Britney Spears loved? She's still alive by the way. Who, Brittany? Yeah, she used to love them but now she doesn't. But they're so old now she doesn't anymore.

The BPM's not high enough for her to do her dance videos to them. Dare I say it. I think we're going to have to play Bob St. Clair. Yeah, I do think so too. Yeah, also a bit of a sore point with Counting Crows, actually, on this team. I forgot about that, actually. We shouldn't be playing them.

Producersenipia, I'm very sorry. Why, what's happened? Producer Nipia, his band was down to one of two bands to open for Counting Crows when they play here in New Zealand. And they missed out. Oh, they took another band. To Macy? Yeah, Macy, who is an awesome New Zealand artist as well, so I'm stoked for him too. Oh, so they chose the right guy then because you just said he's just...

Right bloke. Yeah, he's great. Just want to make sure you weren't offered to open for Bob Sinclair? No, not yet, but it could be coming. Who knows? I never say never. No. Not going to hit any sore spots here for you. Less triggering for our producer, NEPIA, in the Sam Kellam band, by the way,

if you don't give them a follow on Spotify already. Very similar to Bob Sinclair, those two artists. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. That is your 6am throwback, Clint Megan Dan. At 8 o'clock this morning, Dan's, one of Dan's idols, is going to be joining us Formula One driver Liam Lawson whipping around the track at over 300 kilometres an hour

He's a great guy, great interview 300 kilometres an hour Is it how fast they go? Wow, even more. What? 320 something? How do they do that? The new cars can get up to nearly 400.

And they're driving them. They're not just sitting in there. What do you mean? It's not like... Imagine how scary that would be if someone else was driving it. It was like, oh Jesus, oh Jesus. It's not like...

Anyway, it's not like... Like there's an auto drive. They're driving that fast. Like with their steering wheel. If I found out that all these Formula One drive is on auto drive, so ripped off. How do they know how to turn a corner? Because they're elite athletes.

That's incredible. Yeah. They don't do three around the bends. How fast did you think they were driving? 150. 150? So you're going 50 kilometres more than you do on the motorway, Meg, on the way to work. And they're...

That's very fast. It's very, very fast. Your vits could go 150. I don't think you put your foot out. It could. I'd like to see it. I'd like to see it. The whole steering wheel starts shaking.

I can get that up to 150 today. She's going to blow! This has got a tire on it, though. DeVits, though. So Liam Lawson popped in after the show yesterday, which was really, really cool. Dan didn't know that the phone interview that we thought we were going to get

was actually going to turn into a in-studio interview because Liam's kicking around here in New Zealand for the next couple of days before he has to be in Melbourne. I'm just so proud of him. I am. I'm really proud that he... I'm impressed. Calamia, he's going more than 150 kilometres an hour.

I'm a bit worried about him. It's very dangerous. I'm going to bring that up. So what are you doing? Like 150? 160? He would have laughed you out of the studio. Wow.

And this is Dan's moment and we're all very excited. Meg just watching... Meg and I are watching on just watching Dan's smile and beam. But I'd like to have a little brag here if I just could at 6. And then he's all yours at 8, Dan. When Liam walked into studio and we're all shocked Oh, he's here, cool, cool, cool.

He came around and me and him dapped it up. Listen to the pop of this. Hey, Liam, lovely me, bro. Oh, that's a good pop. It's like the first pop in a bag of popcorn. We popped on the way in and he popped on the way out. Hey, Liam, lovely me, bro.

Who were Sabrina Carpenter? you'd write a song about that and write Dap Kim. Dap Kim. You know, because she wrote Bed Kim about actually about a girlfriend of hers. They went to a hotel together. You know, they were obviously touring. And they had to share a bed,

a king bed, Sabrina and this friend of hers. And they went to sleep at the same time and they woke up at the same time. And she said, we've got good bed Kim. And that's actually how the song was created. Oh, that's interesting. So you've got good dab Kim.

We did measure the amount of speed that both your hands were going together. It was 150 kilometres an hour. So they met at 300. Yeah, Meg was blowing away by that. It seems like you could have lost your hand. Yeah, so find out as well after 8 o'clock if Dan can beat Liam Lawson in a Formula One race, asterix. Yeah, I think it's quite a big asterisk, if I'm honest. But technically, I'm not lie.

All right, we'll get to... Scandal first call of the day. What do I do? Scandal coming up next. It's Pink and her daughter singing. Oh, yeah. Oh, Dan loves that. I find her infuriating.

What one? The daughter. Clint, Megan Dan. Leshco. I heard Ash London talking about this one we're at EA, Electric Ave. Do you know Pink's husband? Carrie Hart, yeah. He's an ex-motor cross rider.

He was in Nitro Circus. Yeah. Ding, ding, ding. She was talking to her co-host Harrison and Ash and then they were doing a little game and she was saying that he is famous and I would agree with her. Very famous.

He would be, in terms of the sporting extreme sports world, he's very famous. Yeah, a lot of the lads that probably enjoy that sort of stuff would probably say that pink is Carrie Hart's wife. Oh, do you think so? Yeah. You know, that's how they would introduce pink. I think recently, not so much,

but in the early 2000, He was famous, right? Yeah, very big deal. Yeah, I agree. Well, it looks like their daughter is going to be famous too. She's 14 years old. If you ever watched any of Pink's documentaries, you'd know that Willow toured with her,

has always been on stage with her. sang that song, that Sunshine Song. That one. Well, they've just been a duet together, and it sounds like her pipes have gotten even better. This hopeless war is so completely hopeless in the end. Good. Dad?

Oh, she's good. Oh, here we go. The thing that makes me cringe with this, and it's not that she's, look, good on her. But there are so many other kids that are far more talented than her. At 14? That have not got a leg up just because of their mum.

Pink's not going to look after them, is she? No. The Nipo baby thing's a weird one. Because as parents, we can all, I think, agree that we want to give our kids every opportunity that we can. So why should Pink be any different and disadvantage her kid

and not give her opportunities because she has a better platform than we. It just makes me cringe, that's all. I agree with, like, Dan, a little bit with the Nepo babies, especially with acting. I think there's better actors out there than some of the people that are kids and sons of actors. But I did find a different perspective

when Kate Winslet said, well, would anybody judge a plumber's son getting into the business or, you know, somebody who dad is an electrician and then... But I would argue that plumbing is a much easier job to get into than being a world famous singer. I don't think Pink is... What she's saying is like, are we shot that the interest of children

want to do what their parents do? Totally. And I don't think Pink is auditioning for a 14-year-old singer to feature on her track because she desperately needed one. She's putting her on the track because it's her daughter. That's the only reason. And I remember Pink saying once, she did post something about her kids and she goes, and if you don't like her,

get your own. I was like, that's so good. And Pink is very unapologetic. I do like that about her. I do like that she says what she thinks and all that sort of stuff. I just think that there are so many kids out there that are much more talented than Pink's daughter Willow, but haven't got the opportunity. What I do find is funny about their relationship is running back to carry heart. Pink has raised a daughter who is a mini pink and is a singer and performer,

and their son Jameson. Jameson after the whiskey. Yeah, well, no, he is into motocross in drumming. So it's like they've just read many versions of themselves. Yeah. Look, you would do that, I guess, wouldn't you? If you were that famous, you would do it. Do you know that the only thing when nepotism actually does bother me

is probably something you'd relate to, Dan, is Formula One, where you get that, you know, that rich dude who owns a Formula One team? Yeah, Lauren Stroll. And he lets his son drive, and his son's not even that good. And it feels like they could have a much better driver, but he's like, I don't care. I own the team and I want my son to have. Yeah, that's crudge as well.

I find that super crutch. She's in the Epstein files as well, Lauren Strull. I was a victim of nepotism, actually, in my high school production. Oh, you were? Oh, you were? Your mum was the director and she put you in... No, no, no, and that's not what I meant. Oh. No, no, I was in a production. I didn't get the part because the girl who got the part was the niece of the...

Oh, I thought you were talking about the time your mom cast you as Tina Turner. Yeah, and you couldn't... And you couldn't sing. And your mum was like, oh good, let's give her the main role. It was lip-sinking. It was still not believable if anyone had... heard your voice when you're listening. It wasn't a Tina Turner production. It was music through the ages. And I was one small part. So what school were you at, by the way? And which one in high school?

You were telling me that there was no one more suited to the Tina Turner role than you. We've got good legs for an eight-year-old. Oh, I think she's got Tina Turner's legs. Don't say anything else after that, Dan. You don't want to be implicit. It's not worry about the skin color or anything else. Let's just do the legs. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Oh, good one today. How do you know it's good before I answer the phone?

Well, she drives a pink vits, and a normal person doesn't drive a pink vits. That's a out there person. Is that an aftermarket paint job? Does it have to become standard? No, I have a Toyota vits, and there's no way there was a pink option. Georgia, good morning. Good morning.

Good morning, Georgia. So did you get your bits painted pink? No, I bought it from the car lot. Well, somebody must have got it painted pink. Yeah. Is it the factory colour? Yeah. Oh, wow.

And also, when you open the dirt, door, because a lot of the times when people paint their car, this is where they'll skim. It's pink all on the inside as well. They haven't just done an outside. No, no, it's black. I just say the outside. Okay, yeah, right. And you see, you must be... It's like the colour of the car. You must be a fun

gal if you've got a pink car. Oh, yeah, but I mean, it was a bit of luck. Do you find it annoying a little bit with having such a car that stands out and everyone knows where you are? You know, they're like, oh, there goes Georgia. It's Georgia. Yeah.

Yes, yeah. I live in a small town, everyone's like, oh, I saw you the other day. You couldn't do anything illegal. You couldn't do anything. She escaped in a pink vits. They'd know exactly who it was. Yeah, yeah. She couldn't do anything.

You're single at the moment, aren't you, Georgia? So you do whatever you want. Yep. Yeah. Just driving all around, Blenem if you want. What's the most fancy thing you've done with latte art? Maybe a swan? Oh, that's pretty cool.

I'd be impressed. And you work at a cafe and blend him. Give it a plug. Give it a plug. Well, I worked for Fern Leeds, so I went for like a military base, so people can't really come to it. Oh, brilliant. Everyone's there knocking on the door this way, little soon.

Hey, well, I've just been giving the information. It says you work at a cafe. Didn't say it was a... The base is like, what's everyone doing here? You should not supposed to give out location? Yeah. So you're giving, like, your latte out to all the military people? Yeah.

Oh, good on you. What is our military doing, Blenheim, during the week? Well, they're training. It's a training base, so they're learning how to, like, be in the military. They must, when they saw the stat come out yesterday. Georgia, I love how you just spoke to Clint. Oh, my God. That was brilliant.

You don't know, Georgia. You know about as much as what's going on in there as I do. By the sounds. Basically. There was a list that came out that New Zealand's the third safest country if we went to war for World War III. So I imagine the guys at the base are kind of going, So even if they're, you know, not quite getting around the course as quick as I suppose they're like, we'll be right. Yeah.

Hey, Georgia, not working on the inside, do you have confidence in our military that they can protect us? Hey, what are they? Oh, yeah. They're rocking six packs? Oh, some of them. Well, they're definitely caffeinated. Yes, sure. They're caffeinated and ready to go, aren't they, Georgia?

And they go, look at this little swan. Makes their day. Yeah, it does. They're all positive, happy people. Georgia, if you don't want to make your own coffee, you can swing by a Z. after work, we'll give you a voucher, and you can find out... Brilliant.

Yeah, how it's supposed to be done. Hey. Thanks, Georgia. She's like, can I get off this weird phone call now? She was sassy. I like to her. And you know exactly what I imagined a person that drives a pink car to be. Yeah, exactly.

All right, coming up next, a little naughty 640. Are we talking toes sucking? Yeah, we're talking about Selena Gomez next and her partner, Benny Blanco, his dirty feet. And apparently just, she's just sucked them in a podcast. Okay, so let's do foot fetishes next, if you're selling feet picks, if you've ever, like anything that you'd like to talk about in that realm, because it is a will. I don't understand, and I think Meg, you explain once.

I guess I will explain it next. Yeah, about why. If you have a foot fetish, I'll tell you exactly why you have that. Why you have it and other people don't. Keep your text coming through for the Hillary Duff Bluff. If you want to win that fly away, a couple of tickets to her Auckland gig, October. 20, send us something outrageous. We'll ask three questions and see if we can guess if it's true or false.

Benny Blanco is in the news with his wife, Selena Gomez, at the moment. He's been doing a podcast called Friends Keep Secrets. It's like a multi-episode video podcast where his feet featured Meg. Yeah. And there's been a lot of talk about how filthy is and disgusting his feet are. Yeah, I guess he's trying to do that whole, like, we're a relaxed podcast, so we're sitting on a couch and I've got my shoes off. But unfortunately, the camera angle is low, so you go from feet up to his face.

and the feet are black. Just got his dogs out. On camera. Wiggly dogs. Yeah, and they're gross. You know how like when you walk around a house and it's like obviously the floor's not clean? They're just all black underneath.

Like when you walk through a mall barefoot. Yes, like that. And it hasn't been mopped properly. Yeah, so his feet are all black. In the latest episode, Selena Gomez's wife has features because she's at home obviously milling around and she comes into the shot

and they talk about the controversy of his feet and then she goes down and licks them. Is it a lick or a kiss? She's initially a kiss, so she goes down and gives it a little, like that, a little peck on one of the big toes. I'll allow it. And then he goes, oh, I like that.

Oh, I won't allow that. And then she goes, you like that to you back. Oh, I won't love that. I'm reenacting it. And then she goes back down again and gives it a lick. And that's where people are going too far, Selena, too far. Between the toes or licking like the nail? She sort of licks the, she's not licking the dirty bit at the bottom,

in fairness to Selena. but she is still going in for like a toe lick. Like the top where the hair grows out or the nail? No, the nail part. Yeah, the nail part. Oh, the nail's gross. I think that's the most... Under the toenow must be filthy.

And hey, I'm not here... You know, I've always said this. I'm not here to yuck someone else's yum. Because I'm not. Yeah. But I will say, someone that does not have a foot fetish, I don't understand the correlation between sexual stuff and feet.

Well, ding, ding, ding, you've come to the right place, Dan. Actually, can I have a little bit of music of, like, maybe some fun fact, of science music, Link. You whip that up for me, please? Some fun fact science music. Just whip that up when you, Clint back.

Okay. Come on, I know you'll be able to find out. I don't know if this is fun, but it is definitely, this is definitely science. He's going to learn something here, Danny Boy. I think I know what you're going to tell me. So a foot fetish is believed to be linked to the brain's

somotosensatory cortex, where the neural mat for feet is located immediately, this is terrible music, immediately adjacent to the area representing genitals. Yes, science! And the proximity causes cross-wiring or smudging sensory boundaries, leading for feet and sexual arousal to be mixed for some people. So feet and genitals are very close to each other in the brain.

And some people get them a bit mixed up. Yes, science. Mitch joins us on the phone. Oh, 800 the Edge. Now, you heard us talking about this before, Mitch. Have you done any of this kind of stuff, feet-licking? Oh, yeah, unfortunately. I was at Leckyette out on the weekend, great weekend.

Lucky, yeah. Electric having you, you know, you were there. And on the Uber at home, somehow I end up looking my mate's sort of Manky Trotter. Now why? The why is what I want to get into. Poor Uber driver. Why were you doing it? Was there money involved?

No, I think there was just many drinks and everything later and, you know, these things happen at the after. They've never happened to my afters, but you know what? Clint and I was sharing a room we didn't chowl down on each other's feet. The amount of kilometres that everyone's put in across electric gap at the time, you've finished the night. That's how sweaty your feet would be. That's what they call festy foot. Who sucks festy foot, Mitch? Yeah.

Do you have a, like, and be honest, do you have a bit of a foot fetish, and I've no judgment if you do? Probably, like, there's quite a few that I've got, but. I don't get it came into that. Fetitages. Yeah. How many, I mean, without going into the detail, you don't have to, because that's private for you. But how many different fetishes do you think you have

that are a little out the gate? I think we'll be pushing to Ash London's show if I went through them all. Oh my goodness. Mitch has got a lot of smudgy in the brain. It's like feet and hands, everything just smudges up. Love that. Just like an electrician's nightmare. What a fun life.

Yeah, yeah, something's going really wrong. Yeah. I don't even think I have. have won. So the fact that he's got many, I take my hat off to him. Do you know what? I'm going to give you a double pass to a musty movie because anyone is going to be that honest and share with us. I think deserves it. Golden Globe winner Jesse Buckley and Academy Award winner Christian Bale stars two iconic legends in The Bride. It's in cinema's tomorrow and you get to go for free much so appreciate you, bro.

Yeah, good on anything on this show Clint's got the most fetishes if I had to guess. Me, Nan, Meg, Seek and Clint. He's got about two. I mean, Mike, give me a good run for my money. She's going to be in the country October 20. Hillary Duff on her The Lucky Me Tour, Auckland Spark Arena. We've got two tickets, a nice accommodation in Auckland and also travel costs,

depending on where you are in the country. You just have to fool us with the Hillary Duff Bluff. We do five cuticles this week. So does the Ash Linden show. So if we're fooled every single time, you've got a one in ten shop. And so far we have been fooled both times. We've played this.

I feel like we're wising up now. We know you tricks We're over two This was the second time we were wrong I was going through some issues With my in-laws My wife Wanted to sort of get us together

I didn't really want to I have some close friends That we rely on each other For a lot of things So I got wanted them to Mess and take my wife's car The day before we had to go away Steal it

You're making the shot Meg I'm saying you did do that Josh Well it's fake Who would do that He got us. All right, well, Hannah's going to try and get us now. Hannah, what?

We get one question each. Actually, Hannah, hold your thought. Boys, one question each. I don't want any free thinking. Okay, one question. One question. What's your story, Han? So we had friends that live next door.

And they later turned to enemies. But, yeah, the husband tried it on with me. while my husband was at work because he was off work and I worked from home. And yeah, I kind of exposed him in front of everyone and I sprayed him with the hose over the fence in front of his partner and my partner. But yeah. Okay. Well, I hope this story is real.

Well, it sounds like there's too much detail to be fake. So I'm instantly going. It's true. Let's go. Question Edge, I will say, how do you know he tried it on with you? Oh, he came over and he, like, we're really close and he came over and he, like, try to make out with me. Trying to make out.

What did your partner or husband say when you told them? Oh, he beat him up. Oh, oh, oh. God, that's another little thing. Okay, Dan. Your last question, last question, Dan. Are you still neighbours now, or have you had to move? No, we moved away like a couple of years ago.

Now we bought our own house and, yeah. Okay, so you're away from the situation. She's adding and then we bought in your house, right? It all just feels very. Okay, Hannah-onon. Can you stay there? Let's hold on. Okay, let's see the board.

Okay. Put our heads together. Okay. So I thought true at the start, Dan, and then I started sniffing a rat. When did you sniffing the rat? Where? When? Where was the rat? I thought the rat was when it was very quickly, our husband beat him up.

And I was like, well. And she said I sprayed him with the hose, and you were like, that didn't seem like enough for what you're done. But then the beating up seemed like too much. And if she's... I'd go over and throw hands as well. Would you do? Someone was flirting with my wife. Well, why don't you beat up Clint?

Oh, he's too much bigger than me. And I don't want to ruin our friendship It's a harmless fund me and your wife And Hannah would say you need Clint to make money Yeah yeah Because he's part of the show So you know I think it's true

Back to Hannah back to Hannah Lock him true But I don't want to be the final decision No well we're going to leave you Well we're of all being wrong So we can't back any of us at the moment Our track record's being abysmal All right Hannah

We're going to say that story is true No, so it's false It was actually my mum that's free the neighbors Oh my sake Okay so you were hit on by the neighbor, your mom ended up doing your dirty work. Oh, no, no. This was when you were kids.

Oh, you know, she hit on my mom. My mom's a single mom, yeah. So they hit on her and, yeah, it was good fun watching them get sprayed in front of, like, the whole cul-de-fact because we lived in apartments. So he, I saw her mom, so there was no of your dad to, like, beat up the neighbors. That was made up? No, that was all made up, yeah. Those are the best lies where it's drawn on a kind of true story,

you've manipulated or changed it enough. That's the rat you smelled me. That's the rat. She can sniff out a right anyway. Hey, well, you are the third person in three days from our show that is in the draw. I'm not sure how things are going on the Ash London show, but the draw won't be any bigger than 10 people. So you've got a very good chance of winning that Hilary Duff Flyaway in October 20.

Perfect. Thanks, Sam. Thanks, Hannah. We'd be terrible detectives, wouldn't we? Shocking. Oh, I spent this. Detectives get more than three questions. True. Yeah, they get a lot more. The lucky me tour hits Auckland this October

Yeah, it sounds like I don't know what else. Or something. Yeah, good on her though. Your chance to win $10,000 coming up next. Yeah. Are you guys ready?

I'm ready. You got your list? Yep. Is it looking easier than yesterday? Yep. Great. I mean, it is easy money, so. Number 10's a little tough. Say that.

Just say it's easy. Easy, it's easy, easy. Okay, I went under the Edge. We'll play in less than two minutes. If you want $10,000, it's got to be the easiest way to win it in the country. Clint, Dan. The Edge. The Edge's easy money.

Here's your shot at $10,000. Good morning, bang on 7 o'clock in an hour. Dan's surprise visit from his idol Formula One driver, Kiwi, Liam Lawson. And I go up against him in Formula One. Asterix. Yeah, yeah. Who's faster in a Formula One race? Asterx, yeah.

Big Asterx. Yeah. In the meantime, um, Meg has a list of 10 questions. If you can give her 10 answers, starting with the letter that she gives you in 30 seconds, we'll give you $10,000. Olivia from Invercargall plane today. Morning, Olivia.

Hello, hi. Hello. Morning, Olivia. You'd use the money on a house in Fiji. No, no, no, she's going to Fiji for a holiday and she'd also try and put some down on a house. Oh, double whammy. I don't think she wants to buy a place in Fiji. Okay.

That's really committing. Hey no, no, you do you, Olivia. If you get over there and you go, you know what? You want to have a look around the real estate. You go. Go for it. All right, Olivia, your letter this morning is K. Okay.

K for like 10K that you're about to win. All righty. Your time will start at the end of Meg asking you your first question. Good luck, Olivia. Give me a body part. Me. Something you find in the kitchen. Nice.

A placing you. Zealand? Pass. A word ending an R? A pet. A mammal. An Oscar winner. A lot, sorry.

Oh, so sorry, Olivia. We might be looking for more like a little shack in Fiji. Maybe you can make a little tree hut or something. Yeah, if you've seen a lot of Fiji, take a machete. I'm correctly thinking of calling for ages and I was like, I'm going to do really good.

and then I've called up and I've just thought. You know what, Olivia? You know what? I would say that Kay is really hard. I mean, there are a lot of places in New Zealand south of Kay. Yeah. Kaitaya, Kerry, Kui. Kauara. Yeah, that would have been good.

Yeah, yeah. Kay's just one of the harder letters. That's all right. I thought the mammal you might have a kangaroo or a koala or something. Thanks, Olivia. Yeah. Oh, well, you know, on which of the next one, another chance at a.m. this morning.

Yeah, and I think people do do better at 8 o'clock. they've just a little more awake. Generally, they've had a little more caffeine. Maybe that's up. Yeah, so we'll see how you go at 8 o'clock if you want to have a crack at it. Let's do a poll where we can give you relief if you are thinking you have an issue or a problem

in your mind and you may be the only one going through it. You don't know who else to talk to about it. It could be something that's very, very personal, embarrassing. Or you might just not be an open book like we are. For us, we're like, oh, why wouldn't you just talk to people about it? But I know friends that, even to me, they'll tell me something months and I'll go, why don't you talk to me about it?

But people just aren't as open as we are. Very private. Are they very private? And like you said yesterday, in the world that we're living in now with chat, GPT, people are just talking to that. People just talk to chat. So we're trying to form a bit of a community here,

give people some camaraderie through their problems or issues or things they're going through. This morning's one with Am I Alone? Okay. See if anyone's brave enough to call, but this was a message. to me, 32-year-old mom of two kids

and she said, if I was told I could never have sex again, I'd be fine with it. It's like a switch has been turned off. Am I alone? Wow. So, not something that I think many people

talk about, but are you a person, maybe more relating to women, maybe more relating to moms, maybe it's not, maybe it's bigger than that, where if you were told you never could have sex again, you'd be like, All right, that's okay. That's okay with me.

It's not that big a deal. I wonder if in this stage that's how they feel, but if they meet the right person, it would light things up for them again. I think they're with someone. Oh, wow, okay. Yeah, no, no, they're not a single mum. They're just, yeah, no, they're with somebody.

And I believe, from my chatting to them, that they are active, but she's saying, you know, they are sexually active. Yeah. But she's saying, if I was told I never had to exist. Sexually active out of, like, obligation and feeling like that's part of a marital. Which is a yucky word to say, but more like, she says when we do it, it's good,

but I just never really get the urge to, apart from like, oh, we really should. She's not the one initiating it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is sad, isn't it? Because when you lose that, you kind of lose a part of your relationship. I don't think it's not a spark thing. I believe there is intimacy in this relationship.

It's just like a switch has been turned off inside of her where she doesn't feel the need to have Sikhs as much. Do you think this is going to be a common issue? When I say common... I think it's going to be more common than we think, maybe. I think there's definitely, I mean, I've definitely been through stages of it myself where I'm like, oh my gosh, I haven't even thought about having sex for, you know, like it could go on and on.

But you say stages, I think this lady sounds like it's a sort of done deal, almost where she's in a situation where it hasn't been a stage. It's been a stage for a long time. Possibly, yeah, she'd be all right if she never had to have sex again. She'd be like, I'm all right, I've got a good luck. It's not something. This is probably a stereotype, but I guess in my personal life, I've heard this saying that probably rings much more true to our relationship

where it's like guys have to have sex to feel close, women have to feel close to have sex. Maybe, maybe, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the relationship. I think this is a thing that women can go through. This is not a big deal. Harry menopause, after having kids, it's just something that I don't, I just think it's more common than we think if people would be brave enough to text it.

If they have felt like this as well, 3, 3, 4 you can just text in it. or no? Well, there is already a lot of feedback coming through on the text machine, people saying that they're either feeling that or not. So that's what we want, isn't it? If I was told I could never have sex again, I think I'll be all right with it.

Yes, or no, am I alone? 0,800 there, we'll fire us a text on 334. We've got to voice discise it because we understand it's a sensitive subject to speak on for a lot of people. And we won't read names out as well. Of course. If you do know your name comes up when you text us.

I want to create a space on here where we could be a bit of a vessel for harder questions to make sure people didn't feel alone in something they're going through if they're a bit scared to talk about it with friends or group chat or even at doctor sometimes can be intimidating. So you can DM me privately and one of the DMs was

somebody who has said they just don't have the ankle and the need, the desire for sex anymore and it doesn't bother them. It's not something that's missing from their relationship with intimacy it's just like okay, it's just a good life and I don't really feel the need to do it.

Yeah, which is, I don't didn't understand that. I didn't know that she was sort of happy with where she is. Yeah, no, very happy in the relationship. Got a great life. But I don't see how she can be happy if her partner is very much wanting to be intimate because then surely

that creates the conflict. Well, that's it. I mean, maybe they are having it. She's saying that she didn't say whether she's doing it or not. That's irrelevant. The question is, do you feel like you could never do it again and be alright? Because she's in a relationship and we've all been led to believe and

Maybe it's wrong that a healthy relationship means a healthy sex life. So maybe they don't, they're not mutually exclusive. Yeah, maybe it isn't. But also, again, like, I don't know if they, she's just got this feeling in her. She's like, if it never happened again, is it that bad a thing? So is she alone. Personally, so hard to relate. But not for a lot of people texting and calling through this one.

Yeah, it's lots of people, which is really cool for this person. They're not alone. Just, yes, I felt that way for a long time. Exactly the same feeling. I'm super happy in my relationship. I love my partner and I feel appreciated but I have absolutely no incline for sex. Someone's just sex in the top one there going

is this just a woman thing? Genuine question. Well, so far it seems like only women are replying but that might not be the case. You know, there's no... Low libidos with men can be a thing too. Maybe if you are a guy and you feel this as well, get in touch, three, three, three, four, three.

All right, Hannah. Okay. Here we go. Hannah, good morning. Good morning. Good morning, Hannah. Thanks for calling, babe. So do you agree with this person? Yeah, I mean,

I mean, before I start, I can't stress enough that I love my man. He's a very, very good person. But, I mean, between two jobs, study and sports, I just can't be bothered, you know. Yeah. Did you ever have, in your relationship with this person, did you ever have healthy, frequent sex life? Yeah, yeah, 100%. Before kids. Yeah, we don't have kids either.

And it's just something that, I don't know, it just seems like too much. effort. It's messy. You could have a shower after. I can't be bothered. Is it just a season thing? You know, you go through these seasons? Or are you actually like, genuinely, if it didn't happen with the rest of my life, I'm not bothered? I think I'd honestly be all right with it. I can't sleep for him. I don't think you'd be too happy about that. But we're very

secure in each other. And I think emotionally, that's really all I would need to keep us going. I love that, Hannah. You're so not alone in this. So many texts coming in. agree, 100% agree. I could happily never have sex again, still have it, but could happily never again and I'm very happy in my marriage. We also have somebody who is a fake name and on

the voice disguiser. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? Hey, we're good. Do you agree? Have you felt this? Yeah, so I have a three and a two year old at the moment and again, as the other people have said, love my man, we're nice and secure and whatnot, and I could, I mean, I just have the need to initiate it. I still do it, and I obviously like when I do it with them, but I could easily go without. That seems to be the goer, Jenny. It's like, yeah, yeah, I do it, and afterwards I'm like, oh, Dan, that was actually really fun. But, like, if it never happened again.

When my wife says that to me, I'm like, I know, I know, I told you it would be. But isn't it, like, doing the dishes? You never want to do them, but when they're done, it feels. was good. Absolutely. This is me. Could have written it myself. I used to be quite active and now I'm exhausted working around with a whole lot of

supporter. I'm not a whole lot of supporter at home. And let's go to Jack as well. Let's get a fake name by the way, Jack. Good morning. Do you feel like this or are you ringing up to disagree? No. Morning.

Anyway, no, I actually am the same thing. It was very active and then all of a sudden, like a light switch, it was just like, eh, don't really need it. Yeah. Well, thanks for admitting that. I love that you've rang up to tell us that, because I think it's even possibly more rare, especially Clint's just blown away by that,

to have a man, and you would have made so many men just sitting, listening to this in the background, quietly gone, oh, that's me too. And I'm so happy that somebody has else's said it. That's what this segment's about. It's not about agreeing or disagreeing. It's about giving that person that is listening,

that relief as well. And I think if you probably are with somebody that very much matches that libido stage that you're in. Then obviously... Then why would you look house? No dramas? I suppose it becomes tricky when you're very unequally matched in your libido's and what you're

wanting and that can probably bring a lot of controversy into your relationship. All right, we'll keep to extend the poll and I'll have the results later in the morning of the split between yeses and noes for that. So many coming through. Yeah, if you haven't waited, still time to do that. Meg will wrap it up at just for 9 o'clock. Clint, Megan, Dan. We've done real

music versus fake music for a while now. It pisses me off. It really pisses me off. Yeah, I'm team human all day. No, not a lot. Would you be team human when it comes to me singing? Well, you know what, Meg, I actually would prefer it. You know what, I really would.

Okay. It's a struggle to listen. Right. But I would prefer it over a synthetic computer. Last week, we heard a cover of the song. Lightning crashes. And his name is Nick Harrison. He's an American Duties comedian.

and he does a cover of it under the alias, the professor. Unreal, how is the world not ever heard of this guy? Turns out it's because he's actually without AI not as good as that. I'd love to hear him without the AI. Same to see. Oh, he's got other ones. Because I went through and listened to all his work. And I thought, oh, no, that's definitely his best one.

So it is a noticeable difference. Has he used AI on every single song in that album? No, no, that's what I mean. Like some of the other songs, definitely just him, and he's got a relatively average, good voice. So he's got a talent? Yes. But not that.

But not that. So how hard can AI work to take someone who has arguably, not a view that's held on this show, but little vocal talent, like Meg, can make her as good as the professor? Some would say no vocal talent. I wouldn't. Yesterday. But some would say none. After the show, we gave it a nudge.

Meg sung Acapella into the microphone. This doesn't have any AI on it, by the way. You're kidding me. Looks like we've made it. Look how far we've come, my baby. We might have took the long way. Do we need any more? No, I think that's enough.

That's huge improvement. Okay, well... I'm really proud of that. You know you're not singing there, eh? It's just sort of just, you're just sort of talking with a... That's what Selena Gomez does, and she's a multi-billionaire. No, she's got auto-tune. I think she does.

She's got auto-tune. Well, we chucked it in an AI program for about 45 seconds. I don't know if it's the premium version. And this is what it sped out when we said, could you just enhance Meg's voice? Looks like we've made a... I think when you hear looks, it's still me, and then it changed. And then it changed.

You're right. I think it does sound very initially like you. Then it's gone. Imagine if you release an album. It's like this. I'm not in there anymore. We got another version. She's just completely disappeared.

I've got. We said to AI, hey, can you keep truer to Meg's tone whilst also enhancing the song? That's a man. Sounds close. You and Michael Bubla had a kid. It's going, AI's gone, oh, now, is that a man or a woman? I'm going to take a guess and a stab and go, man. So, Meg, what we're going to do is you just sang cold into the microphone here.

I did. We chucked it in a cheap AI program. What if we gave you 48 hours to go into a proper recording studio and got a really good AI program that we pay for and we give you until Friday to debut the AI version of Meg? I would love that. I did practice yesterday like you told me to Dan, the song that I want to do. Without a word of a lie, my baby did start crying.

Right. But could have been tears of pure elation. I don't know if babies have that in them. I mean, objection. We can't ask the baby. So you don't know. So you can't put thoughts into the babies. Well, let us be the judge by Friday when you release an AI helped song.

Yeah. This is the song that my whole life, when I'm sitting on an airplane and I've got my headphones on, I'm looking out of the window. I'm imagining singing this. Okay. Give us a little bit now, just a little quick, two seconds. Of the song? Wouldn't have ruined the surprise unless you.

Unless you want her, it's fine. I'll just say it's a big ballad. Of course it is. Would you just choose something that's maybe not a big ballad? It's a very big, female ballad. You're going from no vocal talent to big ballad straight away. Huge. Good on you.

All right, we look forward to debuting that. The AI version of Meg's performance on Friday, 48 hours to put that one together. Delicious. AI shouldn't even need that long. Clint, Meg and Dan. Candle with Meg. Rob Rauch was originally on Love Island Season 4. five America. He was one of the

Casser and more boys and I think everyone was like, holy moly, who the, who the heakers? This Alabama snake wrangler boy. Then he came on to season six and he was just the most amazing, gorgeous, lovable, but gaslighting, perfect. Do you know what I mean? Like, he was just so

lovable but then he used to sit there and go, I think you just gaslight everybody in the room. He was so brilliant and he's just gone on the latest season of Traders and his stardom has exploded, you know, like now... Got a good agent, off the back of Love Island himself. There's something really charismatic about him.

He is the perfect guy in the way of, I know you'd break my heart and ruin me, and I don't care. I still want you. Yeah. Like, he just is so good. Sort of bad boy. Yeah, but he still seems like a lovely person. I don't know how he's done it.

He's done so well. He actually doesn't seem like an asshole, but he kind of is. One of those guys can get away with more than most. And it's because he seems like he doesn't know he's doing it. You know what I mean? Like, it doesn't seem manipulative because he's just like, what do you mean? Yeah. Hot us can only get you so far, right?

Oh, you can get him a long way, a very long way. So he has just done a very smart move and decided to do some audio voicing for smart. You're so beautiful. Keep your eyes on me. Tell me what you want. Good girl. It's a story about this guy named Alex

and he lives on Animal Sanctuary. This old girl, her car breaks down And he helps her out in many ways. He gives her a hand. Or two. We're pissed. Listen to the snake handler. Only on quaint.

Oh, is it called the snake handler? I wish you could have seen both boys' reactions. Clint locked in. Dan dying. Dan was getting all hot under the collar. I'm listening the whole time going, imagine if he read my romantic friction. I know.

Possibly make it sound better. He could read anything. Can we get him... I'm all giggling? Producer Carl. Can we get him on the show to read one of our bromantic fiction stories? Oh, man, I would die.

I could not talk to Rob. Sounds easy enough. Yeah, yeah, he's a game. If he came on and it turned out that we were the good ones, Meg was the shit one. It's the read. Yeah, it's just all in the read.

Meg would embrace our story, I think, if Rob was reading it. Yeah, tell him, we'll plug his smut if he reads out. You guys... Reaching out to Rob. You guys would be like, Meg, you've said nothing but giggle. this entire break.

You know what we should, if we can't get Rob Roche or whatever his name is, we should get someone with a really, like, sexy voice to do it, just to see what the difference is. Oh, sad to me, I think we just need some... I just need them... I just need that backing track that Rob was using, that outback sort of country western one.

And Annabelle's text through saying, my jaw dropped. Yeah, it's very exciting. It's on the app, Quinn, if you want to buy the snake wrangler and have a listen to the full story, Quinn, Q-U-I-N-N. Also, Meg's frothing it because she loves being called a good girl. It's all of it's just, it was all, it's Rob, it's great.

Hey, to my husband who is listening. I know, it's just, it's just, the, so when on Friday, you don't know what you're talking about. On Friday, by the way, on our podcast, it's the Overtinkers podcast, we are doing our R-18 romantic fiction, so if you do want to listen to that, that will be out then. And you're reading that, A-A-M-M-G, we're not getting Rob-on? No, we won't be having Rob on for that, I imagine.

I don't think he'd agree to what you guys are going to write. We have a friend called Erica, who is the owner of the Instagram page. A Little Nudge. She also has a podcast where you can talk to her for advice when it comes to the beginning of dating and how to have clear boundaries of if you're together or not. You've had her on a few times in the past. She's being very generous with her time and joins us again this morning. Thanks for being on with us again, Erica.

Of course. excited to be here. All right, Dan Zah, I've got to listen to question for you this morning. Natalie's text this one through. I've been seeing a guy for the last month in a friends with benefits situation. I'm starting to catch feels now. How do I bring this up with him without making it weird? Sometimes the answer to the question is in the question itself.

I can't prevent anyone from feeling weird. Sometimes bringing things up inherently feels weird and awkward. and sometimes I'll give people the advice to even say, I want to bring something up that's awkward or this is going to be awkward to bring up because it almost breaks the ice when you start a conversation like that. And then just say the thing in the question. Like, I've realized over the last month

that I'm starting to have feelings for you. Is a relationship something you would consider or should we cut ties here because, you know, I don't want to get hurt in the end? That's a perfectly reasonable question to ask. That's exactly how I ended up with my husband because we were friends with benefits for three months and then I realized, oh God, I'm getting feelings.

And so I said, hey, I think we're going to have to have the chat and see what we both feel like. Well, how did that go for you? Did he... No, Erica, I feel like Meg's leaving a vital part of the information out because how often do you... You're not going to like this. In your line of work here of people getting their side piece

that they want to become officially to sign a contract that they're allowed to get out of after, How many days was it met? It was 30 days. 30 days. He was his girlfriend officially, if he felt like that I became weird or was all, you know, it made him, he was like, oh, I don't know if, you know, what if it changes things? I'm like, well, in 30 days, if you feel like it changes things,

then, you know, it'll be over and you won't get in trouble and it won't be crazy. It's like a money-back guarantee. And now we've been together for 12 years with two kids. So, you know, it worked. I think you're brilliant. I love what you did. Now, however, you are the anomaly because most friends with benefit situations, do not turn into a relationship.

Most people are very clear on what they want from the beginning, and it doesn't usually sort of upgrade itself. Oh. Did he actually physically sign a piece of paper? No, it was a handshake. Oh, right. It was a handshake agreement. Yeah.

It must have been a really good handshake because. I think there might have been other things, but on here. Very firm. It was maybe a hand involved somewhere. Yeah. She had a really strong grip. You said it, not mixed. Stop.

Okay. Hey, thanks, Erica. Always appreciate your time. We'll catch you again next week. Okay, bye. Bye. I'll be interested to know if anybody has been in a Friends with Benefits situation where it's migrated or moved on to a serious relationship or even marriage.

Could we get a marriage? Meg's proof it can work? Yeah. Maybe your story isn't as good. As Meg's. I mean, like, it didn't end in that space. Oh, right. Okay.

As Meg's. You know, I'd have a believer after with two beautiful girls. There'll be more than me. I'm sure of it. I'm sure there'll be. I'm not the only one in this. Are you for or against the Friends with Benefits? Yeah, that's probably true.

Based on your experience and how it ended. I think it could go either way, eh? One person's getting their heartbroken. Oh, 800 with the edge. All right, let's get straight into the phones. Can you get out of the Friends with Benefits situation and have a long-term, happy, healthy relationship, or do you not recommend it?

Hey, Simone. Hi. Hello. Have you been in the situation? Do you have experience? Yes, I was in a Friends with Benefit for two years and then he finally asked me out to be his girlfriend in December. Oh, so it's a success.

Two years. Yes. My goodness. Wow, what's the conversation that takes it from Friends with Benefits to, do you want to make this a show after two years? I think it's because we were doing everything that you would do in a relationship anyway. Like I was meeting his family and things like that. Oh, yeah, that's too.

After two years, that's... But yeah, it's funny how sometimes boys can just get a bit afraid of the actual label when it's like we're doing all the things that we would normally do. You invite them to like family Christmas, you buy tickets to concerts together and all of a sudden you realize you're in it. Nothing's going to change. Simone, you... Well, he did the asking, but did you do a little bit of nagging behind the scenes

to get him into that position? Yeah. Me and my friends. Yeah, she did see. Put the pressure on. I say good on you for that. It's good advice for anyone that's been in your situation. Simone's like, how do I get them to commit?

Yeah. Were there a lot of people telling you to stop after about a year and a bit, a year and a half? People are like, come on, Simone, this is never going to happen. Oh, yeah. 100% my best friends were like, come on. Show on there. I'm sick of him. Look at you now.

Congratulations. Millen, morning. Good morning. How are you guys doing? Good morning. Love the name, Millen. That's a great name, eh? Yeah.

Thank you. How did it go for you? What's your opinion? Yeah, so my now husband, we had been best friends at university for six, seven years, but there was always a little bit of sexual tension there. And we had our own respective relationships. And once I was going through a pretty hard break, he was there as a friend. And we thought, okay, let's just explore this.

Hold on, hold on. So you broke up your partner, but he used to where it is, didn't he? No, so he was just kind of like testing the waters with a lot of. of people. He was very casual. He wasn't really official with his one. Playing the field. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So I was pretty much

relying on him, like, hand me a shoulder to cry on, that type of thing, and, you know, it became casual after that. It was very clear. So we had a casual relationship, friends with benefits for about six months. But because we could see other people, once I saw someone else, he kind of realized

oh, hold on a second, this is hurting me quite a bit. And that's how it happens. And that was kind of the trigger. Yeah, that was the forget to make it official and now we're married six years with a child. Yeah. Suddenly when they go home to sick, I'm realizing I don't like it when you're with another person. Yeah, there's that ring about me, doesn't it?

Well, that's better lock me down then. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Good on you, Mellon. Oh, good on you. Yeah. Well, obviously, there is a lot of people even on the text machine saying that it can move from friends. Oh, no, you know what we're doing, though. We're giving hope to the people that are in a hundred, yeah.

It doesn't always happen. It doesn't always have a hundred percent. You should leave them if they're not. There are people with no past going. And what else? What else if that doesn't work? Yeah. Yeah, go right.

Thanks for being honest with us again. We're a lot of honesty this morning on the show. The ultimatums got to work going, right, I want it to be official or I'm out. Yeah, and as long as you stick to it. I'm looking at you. You stick to it. If they say no, then walk away. Clint, Megan Dan.

Oh, oh my gosh. The edge. The edge is easy money. Here's your shot at $10,000. Good morning. It's two past eight. 10 grand on the line. The easiest way to win 10 grand in the country right now.

30 seconds and 10 correct answers. Starting with the letter me. gives you the only thing standing between you and the cash. Let's do this. Leanne is playing this morning. Hi, Leanne. Hi, Leanne. I listen to you, you're all chipper this morning, ready to win 10K?

Hi, Philly. Oh, good on you. Okay, well, you got your daughter's 10th birthday. What's her name? We need to help pay for an incredible 10th birthday. Quinn. Quinn. Okay.

All right, Quinn. Do it for Quinn. You need the little... Oh, I need to focus. You need to have good ideas for the letter R. Leanne, I've got all around that, the one way. Yeah, R. Okay, we're ready. All right, if I need a pass.

Do it as quickly as you can. If we've got time, we'll come back. No repeated answers. Your time starts at the end of the first question. Good luck, Leanne. Leanne, give me a vegetable. rubbish. An occupation.

Oh, puff. Something is sweet. Oh. Something round. Something you'd find in the bathroom. A video game. Robot? A word ending in H.

Oh, Leanne. That was a shocker. So sorry. There was a miss in the middle, but we got there. We got back on track. Yeah, we were starting to get back on track, but I do fear that you'd probably pass too many times. Yeah.

Yeah. Sorry, Leanne. Appreciate you. you are calling though. Good luck with your daughter's birthday. Happy birthday, Quinn, if you're listening. All right, speaking of getting back on track. joins us next. Mark of his bachelor's old and Formula One.

He's time. Drive to survive fans are getting excited about it. It's my favourite day of the year so far. He's the man. I love him. We knew. We knew. It's on your face and how you got all giddy.

And the Formula One season is about to start as well this weekend in Melbourne. And he did say we didn't get it in recorded, but he did, as he He was leaving and say, hey, man, you cried for me, thanks, Dan. So he did see your crime. Yeah, which is a little bit embarrassing for me in a way. Dan had no idea that the phone interview was actually going to turn into an in-studio interview,

and he busted through the doors that moment on the show right after this. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. The back of his best result in Formula One. He's going to start the season in Australia this weekend. Doing over 350 clicks down the straight. It's a crazy, crazy profession. One that Dan, you have been following for a very long time. I love him.

I love Formula One for many, many years. So good to have a New Zealand driver on the grid. Yeah, and I don't know any bigger fan of Liam Lawson. And then our Dan and Liam joins us on the show this morning. Liam, good morning, good morning. I'm very stoked to be here. Oh, stop it, Liam. We've actually, well, producer Carl has been working,

I think, for nearly years in the background to try and get you on for our Dan because Dan is a mega fan of yours. Closest we ever got was to your mum. My mum. I'm not sure if she mentioned we spoke to her in the airport on the way to one of your races. Yeah, Liam, did your mum let you know that she was on the show? She did, yeah. No, she told me.

She loved it. She loved it. We're huge fans of you on this show, Liam. We've followed you all the way through your Formula One career. You're amazing. Less than a week out from the Australian Grand Prix, the first race of the season. How are you feeling? No, I'm good.

I'm looking forward to the weekend. It's going obviously be a very big learning curve, new cars. very, very new seasons. So, yeah, I'm excited. How do you feel because obviously there is winter testing? So there's like a month of testing where all the teams can try out their new cars. Where do you think the pecking order is this year

in terms of where are you guys sitting? And who do you think is the strongest team? It's really hard to know. To be honest, all the teams, everybody's sandbagging and testing. They're all hiding sort of their true pace. You just don't know how much they're hiding. So it's very tough to know. I think obviously with these new cars,

we have like a lot of updates through the year as well. we're finding big, big sort of things that we're trying to develop as fast as we can. So every race can honestly be sort of a new car that you haven't really driven just because of the upgrades. So Melbourne's going to be very interesting to see where everybody slots in. Do you have a pre-race ritual? I try to not have, like I don't want to have a ritual because it's something that I think I would forget something. And then I'd just be in my head about it. So I try and stay pretty loose.

I listen a lot of music. I'm just getting pulled out. I think I'm going to have to shoot guys. Sorry, I've got to make a run. Oh, that's okay. Thanks for having me, though. Oh, thanks, thanks, Liam. Oh, no.

Thanks so much. Appreciate. Time, bro. Bye-bye. Oh, wow. That was quick. Oh, no. Oh.

Liam Lorson just went into studio for his wondering and what all the chairs are. Hey, yeah. Hey, Liam. Lovely for you, bro. How are you, mate? Oh, my God, this is a surprise. You kept that quiet, Carl.

Now do you? You feel bad, you didn't wear your Red Bull hat, Dan? You know what? I didn't want to wear my merch just because I was like, didn't want to come across to it. Now I'm glad I didn't, because, man, I would have looked like a real train spotter. Yeah.

How are you? I'm surprised you're here. I'm surprised you're in New Zealand. Yeah, I'm just, because it's close to home, I get a couple of days before the race weekend. So, yeah, I try and get here as much as I can. I was here over summer as well, which was good, but it's so far away that I never get enough time.

Yeah. How often do you come back during the season? Do you get any time at all? Never, right? I never. It's now like before Melbourne and that's basically it for the year. Even your mum's even when we spoke to her because we thought she'd get to see you a lot. She's like, oh, she barely gets to see you. Even on a race day, maybe kind of like running past gives you a way. It's really hard, yeah, because for my parents to come to a race, it's obviously amazing.

Like, especially for my dad to see me race, it's very, very cool. But I never really get to see them or anybody that comes to a race. We have very busy schedules. But that's why like being home over Christmas was cool. I just, I should have relaxed more than I did. I ended up doing stuff every day. I was so excited to be here that I was, yeah, just doing stuff. Kiwi Formula One, a racer for Red Bulls.

Racing Bulls joins us. Sorry, Dan. Sorry, mate. Eva Lawson deserves a round of applause. Liam Lawson. Off the back of his best result in Formula One. He turned. Liam Lawson.

It's so great David Kiwi on track representing us on the world stage. And he joins us on the show this morning. With Drive to Survive and how that gets filmed every season, if your family are catching up with you almost in that. sort of way where they're watching. When you're getting filmed, is there anything that happens that you're like, oh, damn, that's going to be caught,

or do you have to just block it out and, you know, think about I'm not being filmed, I'm not being caught by cameras right now. Definitely. Because of how everything now, like, there's always cameras everywhere. So maybe at the start I was always like, you go on your face right now.

I don't have been at a half a word. True, true. At the start, maybe. Yeah, I think at the start, you're kind of very, you're trying to be very aware of it. Oh, did I say, you know, did I maybe say the wrong thing? And eventually, honestly,

you're just like, it gets to a point where they're going to get some, they're going to get some bad stuff. Because especially with Netflix, they have a, like, I'll be in a conversation, a normal conversation, I look up and there's a boom mic

just over my head. I didn't know they were there and the guys in the bush with his camera by hiding. They're just, yeah, that's just me, sorry, I'll stop doing that.

It's like Kardashians, that you're just being followed around constantly. I mean, the sports in a great place right now. It's obviously grown a lot in the last few years with Drive to Survive with the movie last year

and now we've got some very new cars, some new challenges this year. Yeah, what is going to be the biggest challenge this year because people that don't know, there's a huge regulation change this year. A lot of the drivers, I know Max, for one of them, has sort of been complaining about it. They're harder to drive. What are your thoughts?

Yeah, they're very different to drive. Just very, very different to what they've been in the last few years, new engines. The whole car is new as well, a lot less downforce. So they move around a lot more from what we're used to. We have to do a lot more, like, things, a lot more management, a lot more things we have to think about in the last few years. You were just driving, and to be honest, a lot of the stuff was being done by the software, by the car and it wasn't so sensitive

this year that battery is extremely sensitive and we run out like an electric car you run out of battery and then you're... Clint knows he's got two Tesslerc. Really? Yeah, it's like running out a battery and for us it's 50% of the power this year as our battery so you run out you've down 50%... But is it good for you? Like I mean Max might be complaining because he's winning all the time. Now they

made the changes does that level the playing field? I think it makes more opportunity for sure for us as drivers but one thing that Formula 1 will never have is a level playing field just because the cars are all developed by their own teams and we're in a sport with so many variables that like I think you could put the best guy versus the worst guy and it would be in the same car one or two three tenths maybe of a second but that's it I've got a really dumb question how many times do you have to change your password

because if you're doing like that's a really stupid guy I just mean in the way like I feel like we have to change our password here at MediaWorks for our emails every three months because in case somebody gets hacked have you got security around your phones and your system so much because of yeah it's it's so ironic because I've literally been locked out of my email for the last like six months. Really? It's been a disaster, honestly, yeah. I'm also pretty disorganised about some stuff as well.

So, yeah, I've forgotten so many of my passwords. I think that's more just me thing than like a, yeah, F1 driver thing. Dan was talking about the dinners before you came in that you guys all get together. Yeah, all the Formula One drivers at the end of the year, it happens, has happened for the last sort of five years. Who's paying? And those dinners, does it change around? And who's the tightest?

Who's the one that just doesn't go near the tail? He goes to the bathroom and it's time to cash up. And who organises them? Normally, Lewis is very, very well organised. He always sort of puts in the group chat. You know, let's do a dinner at this place, where the same place is last year. The last couple of years been the same place.

So it's the pretty successful guys of the sport that normally get the bill. But last year, for some reason, I think nobody was really going for it. Yeah. Pierre actually was the guy. Yeah, he got up and got the bill. Really?

Oh, my God. Everyone was playing chicken. Like, oh, I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. He was like, I'm going to have to. Now. Have you ever seen how much the bill is at the end? I actually have no idea how much it was.

But, I mean, 20 drivers, yeah. You can't be paying the New Zealand dollars. So bad. It's like, fair money. One day, hopefully. That's the goal. But yeah. But the Formula One drivers, they probably don't eat much, do they?

Because you're all watching your carbs and stuff. You'd be surprised. We have, actually, it's quite, we eat quite a lot of food during a race weekends. And we have, like, nutritionists that plan out our meals, like through the whole weekend. So, yeah. All right. Well, it would be rude to see. and Liam away without giving Dan a chance at beating Formula One

driver Liam Lawson in an F1 race. You're going down, Lawson? Asterix. The rules next. We're going to give you an opportunity to beat Liam Lawson in a Formula One race. Okay, how do I only make it one game? Oh my God, cars. I know you like this movie too. I do.

Okay, I have a hat that is full of dates. You will each go one at a time and you'll be time-trial. You need to pull out a date and then tell me who won the Formula One championship on that date. If you don't know, you can pass and grab another date. Liam, I hate to say, this is Dan's special skill. I just take my history off. Yeah, you can, yeah. So I just grab a date.

Okay, I'm going to start your timer. It is a time trial, whoever has the shortest time. Once you can give us five correct dances. 908, it's a tricky one. Shoemaker? No, it's not, is it? Always having to check. No.

No. Okay, I did another one. My history is so bad. Okay 2001 Is that Schumacher? Yes Yeah, okay

Dan, your turn No, no The King Guy's gotta get five I'm gonna get five? Yeah, there's no Dude, this is gonna take me 2021 Max

Yes, two Two 23 was Max Yeah Correct, I speak Doesn't fall Schumacher again Two thousand

Correct Okay How many's that? 90 Oh God, that's hard Senna? Yes, okay There's no way

I'm going to be able to beat that. 37 seconds is the time to beat Dan if you want to beat Liam Lawson in a Formula One race. Okay. Daniel, your time starts now. Okay. 1992, that would have been Prost. No. Senna.

No. Oh, God. Pass if you need. Pass. Okay. Nigel Mansell. 2018 would have been... Oh, God.

Vettel. No. Oh, God. Oh, God. I'm choking. Oh, Hamilton, of course. Of course. 2014 Lewis, Hamilton.

Nice. Correct. 2013 was, that would have been Vettel. Yes, correct. 2011, Vettel. Correct. 2009. Jensen Button, correct.

Oh my God. Last one. Last one. Last one. 2008, would have been. Oh. Late I've trooped at the last minute. Oh, my God.

You said his name. Vettel, Waddle. Vetter. No. No, you said his name. Oh, God. It's his first one. His first one.

You've absolutely blown out. It starts with Lewis and ends with Pounder. How is this? First one. It was his first championship. How are like we have got that? We have practiced that for years. It seems when songs are playing.

We just test Dan because, and he just owns it. But unfortunately, on race day, you have to show up. The time to be was 36 seconds. Dan, you posted a time of one minute. And two seconds. That was shocking. I mean, to lose to Liam is not really a meat feed, is it? But it would have been nice to say it

I think you had it up until the last one. I think it was quite close. I mean, it would have been nice to say you beat Liam in a Formula One race. You just forget how long Lewis has been at the top of his game. He has, yeah, a long time. Well, 2008. Hopefully when we play that game again and we say

2006, we get to say Liam Lawson. That would be something. All the best, my bro. Thank you, guys. Thank you so much for being in, Liam. Yeah. Clint, Megan, Dan. Stinky B.

Just after midnight. last night, so early hours of this morning, you should have been able to see a blood moon. Now, I've had a bit of beef with blood moons in the past. I feel like there are a dime a dozen. They're always happening. I was here there's a blood moon happening. And then you read about, and they say it's the first in a lifetime.

Why do you? But why does that bother you? Well, I just think that it's almost like we're being gaslit into thinking that it's a one-off thing, when really it always happens. Well, we actually got a six hour, the entire duration, for the blood moon to happen. The lunar eclipse six hours. Wow.

And it's not coming back until 2028. And we, out of everyone in the world, had the best view of it. Yeah, best view, but also possibly the worst luck with it. What happened because of the blood moon? My daughter was up all night, one of them. The other one actually. She's always up all night, did she? No, no, the other one.

The baby was weirdly up all night. And then at, once they had just gotten her down at 2.30 in the morning, knowing in an hour, hour and a half my alarm's going off. My 17-year-old cat jumped onto the bed and I said, oh, snoo. And then she just pissed all over it. Brilliant. So I slipped the whole bed and stripped the whole bed

and then slept on the mattress, bare mattress with a pillow and just curled up and like huddled into myself with nothing on me. It was a yellow moon for you. And then I went out to my car. That's Meg's story at least and she's sticking to it. Yeah. Oh, shut up.

And then I went out to my car this morning and my tire was completely flat. So I must have like, I don't know, run over a nail or something? Did the moon let the air out of your tires did it? Must have done. Must have done. It's always nice about something to blame. It's not your fault. Yeah. Do you know, actually, I did get a message when I was upset this morning about I was like, wow, everything's just happening. I messaged my good friend Linda and she's in studio as well. Oh, yeah, I saw her walking around the office, actually. I don't think she comes in here anymore. No, no, she does, and I thought she'd have something nice to say, because she's always into blood moons and whether they can affect things like this.

So, Linda, come on in. No. Come on in. Could you go get, open the door for a day? I'm not going to get, Linda. No, you know I don't like him. Linda, where are you? Okay.

Hello, my darling. Oh, Linda, it's so good to see you in such an unpromptu visit. I wish I could say the same about you, Clint, but I've been up all night, haven't I? Oh, what happened to you, Linda, Blood Moon? Our Blood Moon's a big night for me. It's like Christmas time, my darling, for a future reader. Yeah. So I was out there, and I know it's after 8 o'clock, so I can't be my normal self.

School runs, you can answer it'd be good. But you know, it's a time for new beginning. getting in a time to, you know, reflect on life. Yes. It's also a good time to get out there and charge your confetti cake, if you know what I mean. No, I don't know what you mean. Get out there, take your pants off and show the moon your lady lotus. Okay, we know what you mean.

If you know what you mean. Yes, we do know what you mean. That made it much more clear. And that's exactly what I did, guys. I went out there, I took my pants off, faced the moon and showed it my little tea flower. Okay, here we go. Thank you, Linda. Or should I say big tea flour?

Okay, what dropped ball do you want to blame all? on the blood moon. Is something that you did or something that happened to you and you go, actually it must be the blood moon. Linda, enough. You can leave that. Kids with a guy going, man, what's a confetti cake? Mine was bigger, brighter than the moon. Okay. Thank you Linda. It's all we got time for. The moon was sunning itself on my teeth. Okay, okay. Linda's mic's off. Okay, Harry Stiles, what do you want to blame on the blood moon? Must be its fault. We won't be able to see it. Oh yeah, tomorrow. Is it tomorrow? Is it tomorrow?

Oh, so Friday. Is it tomorrow Friday? So close to getting you, Harry music. Very excited. Yes, album drops Friday. Exciting. Last night was exciting for one of those people that stayed up to 1 a.m. That was when it was at its maximum, the Blood Moon, and by about 323 this morning, she was all done and dusted.

But obviously, the Moon does crazy things. Obviously, it controls all the tire and stuff. It blew my tyre. Yeah, Meg's Tyre blew out and she's playing the Blood Moon. It's because you haven't been caring for your car. That's why? What about this one? I cheated on my boyfriend.

over the weekend, which is so unlike me, maybe it was the moon that made me do it. I mean, we have spoken to, I know in the past we've done this, and we've spoken to paramedics that have said that it is way busier on a full moon or a blood moon night. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I hit a client sewer pipe this morning with my digger,

client not happy when I blamed it on the blood moon. Let's get it, Tatiana. Tatiana, what are we blaming on the blood moon? I'm blaming the fact that I fell over a kid's chair, hooked my foot in, stretched my four toes, and also hit my knee into the wall, which ended up bleeding as well, and I found more injuries after.

Could it be just the fact that you should have not been a bit clumsy and put the chair away? Have you done that ever before, Tatiana? Have you only done it with the blood moon around? I actually asked my son to move it for me because I was scared that I was going to trip up over it, and then I still tripped up over it. She read it.

Okay, must have been the Blood Moon then. All your kids' fault. Megan, what are we blaming on the Blood Moon? My dog chewed through my new work handbag. Uh-oh. And it's the Blood Moon's fault, is it not the dogs? It is indeed, because the Blood Moon affects the dog, and the dog obviously went rabid. Has he ever chewed your handbag before?

Even through lunch bags, but never a handbag. Yeah, it's so weird. What, is it? Ham bag or handbag? Handbag. Right. I just been a can't have a bag's best favorite type of bag. If you're leaving a handbag lying around a dog, you can't ask him for trouble.

Wouldn't make sure. That would make a lot more sense, wouldn't it? Yeah, yeah. And Kristen, what are we blaming on the Blood Moon? My son has been at... He's starting up again. He's been absolutely sterile the past, like, since he woke up. Oh, my gosh.

Well, actually, if people were saying that. I understand that may be terrible, too, but he is actually... Oh, God, he sounds like a nightmare. Somebody's text insane all three of my kids. kids woke up last night and they never do. So, oh, you'd want to call her. Oh, she's actually hung up. She's gone.

She's gone. She's gone. If you work in child care today or retirement home. Yeah, but no, because the blood moon's done, is it over now? We can get back to normal. Yeah.

Yeah, the pool's still there, I think. Like, the moon's still there. It's just, obviously, the way the sun's lined up now. It's not red anymore. And there'll be another blood moon next week, probably. No. It's 2028. Big six and saying the blood moon may be drink a bowl of wine.

Oh, are you doing that thing when you don't drink during the week? And you smash the bottle on a Tuesday. She was like, what? She's a bugger. It was the blood moon. Oh. Maybe because she was staying up so late to see it that she had to do something. Yeah, she's like, I'll just finish off a bottle of wine. All right, hard pivot from this one.

Meg's got the results from the discussion we had at 7 with Am I the only one? Yeah, am I alone in this? A woman wanted to know that if she was alone in being in her 30s, two kids, happy relationship, happy marriage, but being okay if she was to be told, she was never going to do it again. Could she blame any of that on the Blood Moon? She might be able to blame the Blood Moon. Happy to be celibate for the rest of your life.

Yeah, yeah. Just like not too bothered with it. No, thank you. Inundated with our responses on this one, so Meg will wrap it up for us. Clint, Megan Dan. Am I alone? You can DM me if there is something

that you want the answer to, but whether you're a little embarrassed, too afraid, don't know how to open up, aren't a very open person to ask your friends or family or a doctor or anybody. you can just ask us and we can see if there's any sort of normality. Go to your doctor though if it's the medical thing. Sorry, but I just mean some people aren't as open books as we are

and we want to make you feel less alone while you're listening to us to realise there are things that human beings go through that are normal. Yeah, think of us as like a tunnel. And that tunnel is leading to you knowing you're not alone. Yeah, Dan, beautiful. That's beautiful, isn't it? This morning's Christian for Am I Alone?

It was a woman happily married in her early 30s with two kids and she said, If I was told I never have to have sex again, I think I'll be all right with it. I'd be okay. And we were really blown away by the amazing response of how many people agreed that they felt like this or feel like this. Between two jobs, study and sports,

I just can't be bothered, you know, yeah. I just have the need to initiate it. I still do it and I obviously like when I do it with them, but I could easily go without. Yeah, and we got tech. as well. People say I love my husband to bits, but I just don't really get that desire. My second child is five now, and I'm just not really into it. I think the ins and outs of intimacy in that way as well.

It's harder for the woman because you have to get in the mood. You have to get in the zone. The guy has to do a lot of the work to get you there. And so I can sort of understand why it's mostly women that are texting through. Absolutely. This is me. Could have written it myself. I used to be quite active now. I'm exhausted working mom with a whole lot of support at home. Husband works long hours.

and then also we had a man call up and say that he used to be really sexually active and that way he's just like I don't just don't feel the need anymore latest ex-souc says I have zero desire for that haven't had it in a year happy yeah yeah exactly it's been it's been really I guess cool to see that people were just like yeah that's that's me and that's how I am and I think we talked about it as well Meg that where you sort of go through seasons don't you with love and that sort of thing and I can see how easily it can go into a longer season and then become permanent You know, because you're just tired, you've got kids, life gets in the way.

It's just that desire possibly isn't there for some people. Interesting for this perspective saying, I'm in my 40s with teenagers. It comes back, I promise. I guess you're coming from a place of when it isn't there, you're upset about it, whereas I think what you're talking about Meg is just the content with it never coming back. Yes, exactly.

I think it can be mixed up with people being worried that the intimacy is not working on the marriage, is like feeling shaky. It's not about that at all. I think there are people that just like, I'm just happy to not have it and it's cool. Well, someone's just text through saying that a sexless marriage ended the marriage. I think it's when you aren't equally agreeing on sort of that same statement. If one really wants intimacy and the other one's happy to never have it,

you might have an issue. Also, that's a totally different thing. We're not talking about sexless marriage and ending marriages. We're just talking about some people feeling no desire to need to do it. That's what we're normalising today. We're not talking about whether it's good or bad or end your marriage. or not, but it is normal to sometimes feel like I could never go with it again and be good. Do you know what would be tough is if you found out your partner was one of these people that

can relate that says, yeah, I'd be happy to never do that again if it was taken away from me. And you're finding out that that is your partner's opinion and yours is very different. Then all of a sudden you've got a very tricky conversation, I think, that is coming. But it all comes down to communication in marriage, doesn't it? And just be like having these difficult conversations. And I think if it is an issue in your marriage and one of you does still, want it and the other one doesn't. Maybe it is worth talking to someone. Wow, people been real honest. That last text.

Yeah, yeah, I haven't had sex with my wife for 13 years. Stop when I turned 42 and she still has no desire. There is definitely a deeper issue here when it comes to women's health, peri menopause and menopause, and I still don't think there's enough research done. It's a bigger conversation, but right now, if that has helped you

feel less alone, I hope you can go about your day and just know that some things are normal, whether it's good or bad, it's just normalised. I love our listeners. There's so honest, so many have been honest with us this morning. Like hundreds. Yeah.

Lisa's put a perfectly. Hormones are a bitch. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, my Lisa, thanks for that. Holy shit. You made it the whole way through.
