This is a podcast from Rover. If you're easily offended, keep listening. We love a challenge. This is the Clint Megandandan podcast. It's spicy, full of fact on, an immediate regret. Oh, this isn't Love Island. It's the edge breakfast with Clint Megandan with Ash London. Morning, bang on six o'clock.

Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. We were just talking then. Would it be? more awkward for me to hook up with Ash or Clint because we might be doing something later on this morning and I had to really think about it and I think it would be less awkward with Clint because I would have to explain less when I got home to my wife Hannah though is it just because of Hannah like if Hannah wasn't

in the picture and it was there wasn't oh so it's getting jealous that Dan shows me over there my Ash yeah oh no I enjoy hooking up with Ash we need much more okay that's all I wanted to hear that's all I needed to hear but I feel like I'm quite a good Because of a... No. You don't know. It's the stubble. I couldn't deal with the stubble.

I couldn't deal with the stubble. I mean, I don't know if Ash doesn't have any. Adrian always has stubble. I've always got a bit of mohair. Adrian always has stubble and there is something very sexy about stubble. Really? Yeah, I could do it. Manly.

Yeah, I like a smooth lip. Yeah, gently put my hands around the back of your neck. Oh, Clint, Clint, stop. Yeah, you. You don't even know. The things I would do to you. I wish I knew how to clip, quit you. Anyway.

All right, we'll get into what's six. throwback. It should be a fun show. Lots going on and that spa must go today. This guy's headline, Clint. Megan Dan. Oh my gosh. About to jump into your 6 a.m. throwback and it's this one from Jeff. They were a one-hit wonder,

weren't they? But they probably had a couple of niche tracks. But they were... As in Australian, I think, that we don't consider them a one-hit wonder because we played more of their stuff. No, I've never heard that. She's a genius. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay.

Okay, is that a couple of big ones? Okay. What about Chumba Wamba? Never heard of those guys again. Yeah, well, I'm always really fascinated by one-hit wonders and why they were a one-hit wonder. Because you'd go to the fact that maybe the song was so big, they just didn't need to do anything else.

They were so rich from it. I mean, sigh ganglum style. I know he had, Mat the father, gentle man. like as the second one but it didn't obviously do as well as Gengham style but I think I have the greatest one-hit wonder What is it? Hanson

Shut up! They've got like three or four bangers You I can play you Where's the love? Yeah It's not enough It makes the world go round and around And I will come to you This one will come to you

Oh I will come to you Cool, a couple of Crizo singing their favourite hits Excuse, thank you. No, the biggest one-and-one I think is this guy right here. Peter Andre. Did he do anything after that? No, just married Katie Price and had children. Worked on his abs.

Exactly. I wonder how long he had them for. Because he still got them? I don't know. Like, he always had them when he was walking along the beach and things and stuff when I was younger. Come on, Eileen's the one hit wonder, isn't it? Yeah, it was. You know, I remember.

When she came out with royals, when Lord came out with royals, I remember reading a fact that was like she was getting $20 million a year just from royalties from that song. So you can imagine if you have a big song, what there is technically, unless you've got like the creative, I guess, drive to do it. You don't need to record anymore so that you can see why one hit wonder happens. Yeah, but I'd love to know like what is the financial return a year on Mysterious Girl for Peter Andre. Sure, there's not enough to live off. How many streams per year? I'm sure he does other bits and pieces, and I mean, you see him on the daily mail.

I think I saw a thing that said to live on minimum wage. You have to have 800,000 streams a month to live on minimum wage. Well, mysterious go by Peter Andre, averages approximately 13 million streams per year. So 13-0-0. So it's kind of what you're saying. And it's 0.003 cents per stream. Live Googling with Ash London.

So let's see what that is. $390,000 a year or $39,000 year, depending on the zeros. Yeah, okay. That's sort of a close wage for doing radio. I reckon he's getting 40 grand a year from Spotify. It isn't allowed. You couldn't live off it if you're Peter Andre with all your abs, no, no child support.

Yeah. Yeah, I remember it was. Is it Chris Pratt, who said, like, um, abs are like a really inconvenient pet? Like, they just require so much attention, but you just don't get a lot back from them. Must be nice, Chris Pratt. I'm going to go back to coffee. Does that have more one? Here we go.

Yes, please. Sure black. Okay. Welcome to Meg and Dan. Lesh go. So I have a little bit of coffee catch-up where we can just riff on what's been going on in our world. I was at the gym yesterday. Oh, he's always at the gym.

Summer's coming. It's always pumping that tin. Do you know Christmas is? is only a hundred days away. Oh, don't say that. Yeah. Don't say that. A hundred days today.

Mariah Carey and Michael Bublayer de frosting. I know. So I was like, right, I'll get myself into the gym. And I don't know why I do this to myself. But I wonder if it's a thing that everyone does, but nobody talks about. I will make little bets or challenges for myself. You know, like, you might even, if you're doing like, I'm going to do 10 or I'm going to do one more set here and then I can get off this machine. and I'm going to do one more sheen, then I'm going to go home.

Like, I think people do that. But I was finishing my workout on the ski erg. You know the ones? It's good to get out. Was that we pull down the ropes? Yeah, you pull the ropes from behind. Yeah, good for traps and back and just doing an arm workout rather than getting on a bike or a treadmill.

So I'd done about 10, 15 minutes to finish off my workout. And just as I was... 10 minutes on the ski erg? Yeah. That's a lot. Wait, wait, wait. Is it the one that you bring from the top or the ski uge, which be your row on the rowing machine?

No, not a row machine. From the top. Yeah, that's not a Skiyug is it. Yeah. Skiyug is when you're on the... That's a rowing machine. You're right. I take it back.

Who do I think I am? Where was the last time you went in a gym? Who I think I am? Am I on drugs? Click literally lives inside his gym. I think he'd know. I'm so sorry. I was going to be like, well someone's labeled the skierg wrong

because I literally see it in front of my face. I'm mortified that I even... I'm so sorry. Darling is, isn't you? Maybe she does have abs clip. We don't know. No, we don't. She's just secretly scrolling away.

Yeah, I'm very fit under this. Under this one. Fats to work every day. Oh, my God. There is absolutely no way. Well, I'm about to leave, and a guy comes up next to me, and he joins, because there's two side by side. And he's, like, going for it.

And he's probably doing five strokes for every four of mine. But I'm also like, mate, I've been here for, like, quarter of an hour. a much higher stroke per minute than he did. That's right. Was he, do you think he was aware of you there? Oh, we literally, the machines were so close. I kept thinking our fists were going to hit each other. So we were right next to each other and I, in my mind was like,

okay, this guy's going for it. I'm not leaving the machine until he leaves. So you're both stroking at the same time. Yes, but also. Was you stroking aligned like in time with each other? I mean, yeah. Like if he were faster, would you go faster? Yeah, yeah.

To keep up. Anyway I was like He's going to join me And then he's going to leave And I'm still going to be there And he's going to be like man How long is this guy

Right? Because you want to finish at the same time I don't know No no no I want to be I want to first laugh I stop it It's good for me A little daddy little dog

So I'm like right I was going to keep going Until he leaves So But it turns out This guy must have decided He was going to do 30 minutes On the skiing machine

Oh wow I had like chafing under my armpits because I was on there for 45 I was like I got to leave and then my brain I was like no you said you were going to leave when he leaves man no woman feels this way

it was like this like competition he didn't know he was in with me and then as soon as he left and he grabbed his bag I was like oh my god I'm going to die and then I left so here baby

still here that's right bleeding from every all of us to shaking oh wow oh good on you Clint you showed him

yeah Clint Megan Dan stinky boo First call of the day! First call of the day! She's from Rangiyura. Alicia and Clint, she's a first-time caller. Yay!

For the first time in forever! Hello, stranger. For the first time. I love that for you and especially for us, Alicia. How cool, how long have you been listening for? A couple years. Wow. Oh, is it? Are you nervous?

Oh, my God, it must be scary. No, not really. Oh, okay. I took a son off. I just like joke around every morning and stuff like that, so, no. Well, it's good to speak to you, Alicia. It says, here I've got a bit of info about you. You're a chef.

You drive a holding Commodore. You've got a cat and a dog, but prefer the dog. My girl. My gal. Come on. You're a cancer. And last week, I overfilled my shopping bag, and it exploded over the car park. Nothing worse.

Yeah. Especially... It's easy to do now, though, because if you... I have so many of those reusable shopping bags and I forget them and then I get to the shopping and then I don't want to buy another 30-cent bags. I'll just put it all in that bag. Is that kind of what happened, Alicia?

There's exactly what happened. You know what was really good? Plastic bags. No, that was so very... Can I share with everyone? I'm not to share my hack. This is what I've been doing. So you're listening, Alicia, because this is going to change your life.

I'm listening. Good. So I get a laundry basket and I put it in my boot. And then I go to my shopping and I put it all in the trolley afterwards. And then you just take the trolley to the car, you fill up your laundry basket and then you put the trolley away, then you get home, carry your laundry basket inside.

But the thing is what I'd do then is I'd have the laundry basket in the wrong car and I'd go, because we've got two cars. Oh, I'll only have one car, so it's fine for me to do that, isn't it? But I'd get in my wife's car and drive it and be like, oh my God, I forgot. And then when your wife's like, where's the basket? And you're like, oh, sorry, it's my Sounds like you need two baskets for two cars.

Am Alicia, your cafe's called Cocoa Black, love that very chic. What's like the menu highlight, the thing that you would suggest that people order if they come in to say hello? Specialty. Well, we have a massive stack of pancakes on the menu that's always pretty popular and a good old egg spin at it. Yeah. That is great because I think in New Zealand we don't do pancakes well. I've never been to a cafe that I've been like they nailed the pancakes. You've got to come to my place on a Sunday.

We do pancakes probably nine Sundays out of 10. Okay, but you're not a cafe, are you? I'm the same on the morning when I'm at home with the kids. We have pancakes for breakfast in the weekend. Yeah, and my wife perfected the recipe, so they're the fluffiest, lightest things. You've got to like whip the egg whites, I think, then you add them. Be right, not a lot of NZ cafes have pancakes on the menu. They have waffles more often.

Too many waffles. Too many waffles. No one's going on. I love a waffle is a bit meat. Cocoa Black knows what's up. Yeah, just some good. like butter, some maple syrup, nothing too fancy. Yeah, I'll even take a dusting of icing sugar, maybe some strawberries.

What time you opened this morning, Leachia? We open at 6.30. All right. Oh, you better hurry, girl. You've got about four minutes. It wasn't expecting to get through, so. Well, you did. It's been lovely talking to you.

Yeah, we'll get a voucher out to you can spend in store next time you're filling up at Z. Awesome. Thank you very much, guys. You have a good day. Thank you. Good in the Hood is on at Z as well You can vote for your favourite community group today You get a little token

You decide which box you're going to put it in And you know Where that money's going to go Great idea Yeah it's cool I'm McGinn Dan Gossip Entertainment Scandal

Clit me and Dan with Ash London Scandal The Coachella 2020 Lineup has been announced It's happening over two weekends In April in Coachella Valley In California

Tickets starting at 975 NZD for the weekends I mean, load of money, but good line-up. Was there a lot of people from memory last year put the tickets on afterpay? Probably, I want to mention. Yeah, which is, oh, God. That's what you do when you're young and dumb.

You know, you buy tickets to a festival that you can't afford. You go, you have the time of your life. And at the time, you're like, this is worth every cent. Then you get back and you're still paying it off. You know, maybe I shouldn't have gone. The MAMS. But the MAMS. Night 1, Sabrina Carpenter, the X, X, Exclosure.

Do you know what's funny? On the line-up, and I got a fright yesterday, it says Ethel Cain and then Dijon. Dijon's amazing, by the way. And Kane and Dijon next to each other looked like Celine Dion. I know. That's what I thought as well.

I nearly booked tickets there and then. Imagine if Celine Dian was at Coachella, would be going to Coachella. I reckon it would go, she would go off at Coachella. It's amazing. This is what it happened. If Celine was playing at Coachella and would all fly over,

and then it's three days. Festival. Dan and I stay home at the house for the first night. It's his sleep in. Please scrabble. And then night two, seven being waltz into Coachella for an hour and a half. See Celene? We look at each other and go. She'll go home? 10 o'clock. It's quite late.

Then we just go back. Yeah, we would. And then we just watch LeMay's highlights on the TV. Oh my God's my ideal weekend. Heaven. What a couple of losers. Teddy swims Foster the people. That's night one. Night two. I mean, I didn't see this coming because we heard the Sabrina Carpenter would be.

We didn't know. It's boss of the people. I love those guys. Justin Bieber, headlining night too. Oh, my goodness. I'd go for him alone. Although the last time I saw him in New Zealand, he was like partway through his tour that he cancelled

and he had hand in his pocket. He was chewing gum. He really just wasn't into it. It was years and years ago. Yeah, I mean, he was young and, you know, in his sort of naughty boy period. Yeah. He looked like a hostage.

When I went to that tour, I was like, this kid looks like he's being here. And I think it kind of was. Yeah, at that point. Yeah. Also, the strokes are going to be on that night. And Addison Ray, one of the biggest stars on the planet at the moment. Yeah. And then Night 3, Carol G, who is, I believe.

I think she's, I want to say Colombian. I think she's like a Latina star. She's so badass. She is going to be headlining the third night. What a liner. Young thug, major laser, Iggy Pop. FK.A. Twigs, a wet leg. They're badass. And you know, with like, the likes of Sabrina.

Green and Carpenter and Just a Bee, where they're going to bring on guests as well. They always do, you know, so there'll always be someone else that they haven't announced. He's going to bring on, do you think? Maybe the Kid Leroy? Yeah. That'd be pretty sick.

Maybe Usher. Urshire. I don't know if they still hang out. I think there was all in the Diddy vibes. Yeah, right. So I think maybe that relationship may have not soured, but they're not, you know. But it's going to be amazing where you'll be watching from home,

obviously, because they do the YouTube stream. I don't know if you guys remember when Beyonce didn't. I was making a couple. curry at home. Brilliant. And I remember just enjoying myself so deeply with Beyonce on the Big Scream TV and the Destiny's Child appeared.

When is it? What month? April. Oh, okay. So we've got a wee way. Oh, you chucking on an after-bye. You might have a pay-by then. Oh, I'd say it's done in Forklid.

Yeah, you'd have it well paid by then. How much of flights from NZ to America? Isn't it a close? It's kind of closer, isn't it? Yeah, you fly to L.A. and then I think Palm Springs is like, what, an hour's drive from L.A. Oh, I had owned a time chair in Palm Springs for about two days. That's right.

Ruined your whole Vegas journey. Yeah. That story makes me want to cry. God, imagine if Clint's still had his time share. We could have been there. Oh, God, no. Well, that's what the guy who was selling the time share. The dream he kept selling to me.

Fairly, I was into tennis, and then talked about how they have the US Open there, and I can fight all my boys. And I was like, maybe this does sound like good. You're not into tennis. I love tennis. Oh, you very, really. Every January, we go to the Australian Open.

It's the best week you'll ever have. It's very chic. We am actually planning to go to the Aussie Open. next year on a boys' trip for one of the boys' birthdays. I've got some hookups there, I'll give you. Oh, thank you. I've got a timeshare there.

If I could use your one in Palm Springs. Yep. Oh, that's very great week. Yeah, you'd be surprised you used to play tennis every Friday night with the boys, played in school. Do you know when I, last time I went the Australian Open, I had six seats because they invite, but then I was like, I thought I had the best seats.

Then I noticed that some people were sitting in a branded area on the court. Guess who was sitting on the court? You won't guess. Bill Gates. I was like 20 metres away from him And he looked so pov He looked like He had a shitty old polo t-shirt on an old cap

And I was like that's badass That's how you know they're rich When they look a little bit scruffy You know I was rich I wouldn't be doing that I'm not going around pretending I'm poor What's the point in being rich You would know I'm in fact

You'd be wondering if I'm going to have any money left Next year That's how rich I would be right Is he feeding his kids? Is he at the supermarket with a pinstripe suit on? All right, I'm next. Is that a penguin suit? Is he on a segway?

Just always hot? On a seglet? Next. Like, that's your idea. So what would I do if I was really rude? I would be constantly on a segway. I'd be on one right now. Clint, Megan Dan.

Megan Dan with Ash, London. Don't think he's finished yet, hold on. There he goes. You can't tell me what to do. I'll blink twice if I want it. It's actually quite hard to do. Blink twice in quick succession. Yeah.

Yeah, it is hard. Are you guys ready to find out the pros and cons of Dan and also Ash? Maybe myself. I think I already know my pros and cons. I'm painfully self-aware of the ways in the world that I'm crap and also wonderful. But sometimes it's good to know what other people view is your cons. That is true. You know?

You may live. listening as well, also find out what your pros and cons are, because these are the pros and cons of people born in each month. So I know it's sort of star signy, but I, and I don't really get into those, but I went through this with my wife and she goes, oh my God, we went through my kids, went through her, and me. And she goes, that's like 95% bang on, really. And I was like, except for mine. How is this different to star signs? It's not really. Oh, it's just got like bullet points of like your pros and your cons as opposed to say what your month's going be like.

So, Ash, your cons are, born in July. Anyone else in July, your cons are? I thought that was a con. It was in the middle of the year. Overly emotional reactions? Okay, yes. Just listen to yesterday when she had to put her hands in poo. I have medically diagnosed germophobia.

Yes, yes. Holds grudges? Yeah, I do. Do you? I wouldn't say she would? If, no, only for like, moanly for other people. Like, if someone wrongs my friend or their boyfriend cheats on them,

I'll never forgive them. Okay. Klinging in relationships? Yeah Moody and withdrawn No, that's not me She's not moody Okay, and manipulative when hurt

Maybe a little bit But But only one hurt though But only went hurt But your pros Nurturing and protective I think so Strong family values

Intuitive about other people's needs I think so Loyal and devoted Emotionally deep And you create safe spaces I hope so That's what I want to do It's like being on, isn't it?

Yeah, thank you. That's touching. Dan, born in December. So anyone else in December? Your cons are, your commitment phobic? Blunt to the point of rudeness? You can be blunt, yeah. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

But I like people that are blunt, because you know where you stand with them. You're funny about it also. Yeah, you'll deliver a scathing truth wrapped up in a bow. You know what's worse, being nice to someone's face and then bitching about them. Horrible, yeah, yeah, that's your face. Relentless and impatient. Yeah, you are a little. Over promises and understanding.

Deliver? What? That's me. Definitely. He's not under deliver, you over deliver, babe. No, yeah, I don't know of that one. I always feel like there's one that's a little bit off. And then difficulty with routine.

No, no, that's completely wrong. I strive on routine. Like, I thrive, sorry, strive. I need routine. Otherwise, I'm nothing. Your pros, optimistic and adventurous, honest and direct. Freedom, loving spirit, inspiring and motivating, and open to new experiences.

That was, none of that was right. I don't think any of those are Dan. Wow, so you don't have any of the pros. I think your mum's lied to you about your birthday. I think you actually were born earlier maybe and she's like out of wind look or something. I'm actually 47, not 37. What about you, darling? Well, anyone else born in April?

These are your cons, which are BS, by the way. My wife cracked up when I read these. Impatient with slower people? Yes. Aggressive when frustrated? Yeah. Oh, not so much. Not aggressive, but you do get frustrated and a bit demanding.

Impulsive decision making? Definitely. Difficulty controlling temper? I said to do. Competitive to excess? I am very competitive. I literally had a competition with a guy at the gym who didn't know he was in a competition with me yesterday. And then the last one, because this is all rubbish.

Struggles with criticism. Definitely. My wife cracked up because I was like, these aren't my cons. And then my wife's like, you literally... The thing with Clint is he would say he doesn't struggle with criticism, but deep down it eats him alive. Everyone struggles with criticism, no. But then my pros are bold and confident.

Natural leadership abilities, enthusiastic, and energetic, direct communication, loyal to their people and quick to take action. That's all bang on you, babe. Yeah, that was you. Did it say anything about tan and white teeth? No, I'm not sure where that fell, actually. Is that anything about Big Dick? No, no Big Dick.

Yeah, I left that out. because I was like, what about Dan, Dan, what is Dan's age? Definitely not. As expected, nothing special. That wasn't Dan's cons. Micropinus, no, it's kidding. Come on.

He doesn't have a micropinus. Don't you think it's so strange, though, that you can, like the month that you're born can dictate the type of person you will or won't be. But the things as well, like some of them will just be right because it's coincidence. I think those lists, they list heaps of stuff, and you go, oh, it's me.

It's me. It's not hurting anybody. I think if it helps you get to know yourself better or become a better person or work on some potential cons, and I think it's a good thing. Exactly. And your chance to win a $45,000 spa. Hi.

Yo. Hey, I'm ready. I am ready to give this baby web, but I have been saying that for a week now, so hopefully. Okay, here it is here, hopefully for the final time, but we thought that yesterday. It's getting hot in here. Okay, and there was an extension to that last voice saying here,

a clue given right at the end of Kell and Yaz's days. Brought in here. It still sounds to me like David Schwimmer, but that has been guessed. It is not Ross from Friends. Okay, one more time. Brought in here. Who was that? I think I know, but I'm not sure.

Obviously, I won't say it. Okay, well, the person having to crack at it this morning is Gemma from Parmy. Morning, babe. Oh, you're excited. So many people are trying to get through right now. We're getting so many texts. So many calls. How confident are you, Gem, that you were about to win a $45,000 spa?

I'm 100%. But I let's hope that's not complete blind confidence. 100% is the full amount of percent available? Yes. Okay. I've been working hard for this. Have you got somewhere to put the spa? Yeah, it's questionable.

But we'll find somewhere. I can go out on the deck. Oh, the deck is a per. It's the kind of spa that is perfect to be on a deck because it's like, you know what I mean? It's one of those ones you can just put on. You don't need to put it in the ground. Yeah.

Okay. Oh, amazing. Like, I believe in you, babe. So you obviously remember that you have to put all the other four ones in the correct position as well as the fifth star in the spa. Okay. Dan is in as well as near the spa. He wants to bomb it.

Yeah, I'm ready for the flash, Dan. He wanted to bomb it. and unfortunately we never got that satisfaction. I want to do this. Let's get the spa one. It's gorgeous. There's jets everywhere. Every part of your body will be covered with jets.

Let's win a spa. Come on. Okay. Jimmer, who are the five stars in the spa? All right. One, Billy Eilish. Two, post Malone. Three, Russell Crow.

Four. Aval Ruin. Oh, I can't speak. Avril Levine. Yes. Five, Timothy, Chamelay. What's your surname, darling? Shamalay.

Timothy, Shamalay. Shamalay or... Hopefully, that's how you say it. I actually don't know how to pronounce it. That's how Miggs says it. Okay. Oh, no. It's not how the rest of the French.

Let me just spell his name for you, and then I'll get you, you can say it properly. S, I mean, C-H-A-L-A-M. Is it Shamel? Wait, Shamelette? No, okay. It's Shalame. But we know what she's talking about. Oh, dear.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Okay. All right. She means Kylie Jenner's boyfriend. Is that how you mean? Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I've got her right. I thought that were probably she doesn't he? Okay. Well, Dan is ready. Shelomate. Shalemate. All right, let me put you out of your misery. Jimma.

It's a good guess. It's a bloody good guess, I'd say. Gemma, you have correctly identified All stars in this bar, in the green spot. Oh, my goodness. And I'm a proud of a brand new $45,000 spartful. Oh my god. Congrats.

I'm just going to say I've literally driven into town because we live rurally to phone in for this. So you're in the middle of town by yourself in the cold morning air. Yeah, I just... Buy a four square. Good on you, darling. Darling, Timothy Shalame was the fifth star in the spa. Dan is currently in the spa celebrating. How does it feel in there, Danny Boy?

It is amazing. It is so warm. It is gorgeous. The jets are currently on my back. I'm staying here for the rest of the show. I cannot wait. I could have gone to a more deserving person. Good on your, Gemma.

I was in Labor while they were. What, if you've got a story, we keep thinking, yeah, eventually we'll just start getting repeats and we'll drop this bit. And it's amazing. The amount of people that drop balls in brand new ways every week for us. My favorite is that every week we seem to get someone who's partner got arrested while they're in labour. I'd like to think that maybe they just get

really stressed and do dumb stuff. I think, yeah, that one stands out where they swung through Burger King to get some food on the way. That's bad enough. And then somehow they ended up getting into a fight and gone to jail for nine months. He missed the first year of my life. And now he's a great dad.

Yeah, well, we'd like to think that you learn from your mistakes. Sarah from Nelson, unfortunately, you have a story for I was in labour while they were what? This wasn't myself, it was my mum and my dad So I'm born at Christmas And my dad was at his work Christmas function And he had to get picked up and taken to the hospital

While my mum was in labour and he was very drunk And fell asleep on a beanbag while mum was pushy And they had to wake him up pretty much as I was coming out We've heard this time and time again in this kind of story. Okay, I mean, the only way you can really defend dad here is if you were a prim baby. Ryan, so he went to his Christmas party thinking you were supposed to show up in February, March. Were you born around your due date?

I was due on New Year's Eve and I was born on Christmas Eve. Yeah, there's a week girl. That's on him. Yeah, that's on her really is. My friend who is pregnant had a beer because it was her Christmas due and she thought, oh, I've still got a month, I can have a beer and then went into labour. And she had to tell the hospital when she got there, I just want to let you know I've had a beer. I was like, it's fine, babe.

And Sarah, apart from that, has he been a good dad? Yeah, he's a great dad. So he redeemed himself. That's a nice story. I was in labour while he slept in the hospital bed and kicked me out to the chair. Oh, gosh. What the hell?

He said he was tired, but I'd been awake for 48 hours with no epidural. Sometimes I wonder whether there's more to the story that we're missing. You're like, yeah, we're missing a giant piece. Yeah, maybe he'd just completed a marathon for charity And that's why he was so tired And he'd raised a million dollars for orphans But even then

Even then you'd go Yeah, if you ran an ultra marathon though Isn't that like 100 kilometres You would be pretty tired And your legs, you'd want to put your feet up Someone else's partner was playing video games While they were giving birth We get it every week

Every week there's video games If you think that's bad though I think the next step past that one was probably about a month back when someone threw their partner under the bus because they were playing their PlayStation portable or their Nintendo Switch and it died because they were playing it so much

so they pulled out the baby's heart monitors of charges. Nightmare. And there was a guy that brought his Xbox console to the hospital and plugged it into the TV that was supposed to be used for like other stuff, like medical stuff. It says something about our attention spans because my husband can't do a poo without his phone.

I can't do nothing. My kid yesterday. If you really want to tell this story throw your kid under the bus Have you think about it Dad I think it throws me under those When he was like

Dad I'm going to the bathroom And I was like okay bro Well go to the bathroom He's like can I have your phone Oh You don't need the phone On the toilet And he goes

You do It's true I'm calling sifts Also the bloody germs on the phone For sitting there doing your poise Kim wrap us up I was in labour

While they were what Kim in Trice Church, good morning, darling Oh, good morning, Kim Oh, hi Go for it So what happened, babes I was in the earthquakes Oh yeah

Oh no, poor things Well, I was actually getting prepared To go into emergency surgery Because I was really sick And then, yeah, the earthquake happens Wow So it's not that you're part It was an angel, but it was the earthquake that was the bad thing.

Yeah, well, he wasn't there, so. Oh, okay. Oh, double whammy. So you're going through a natural disaster, and then your husband's like, you're sorry, I'm not going to make it. Please tell me that he wasn't just asleep because he'd had too much to drink the night before. Yep, he was. Got it in one.

Okay. Why is this always happening? Good on your Kim. Good on your Kim. That must have been a stressful day, earthquake, giving birth. My husband was busy updating his work group chat. about how things were progressing and how she was doing. She was like, hey, could you just live in the moment here?

Oh, my God. Like, let's worry about informing everyone. Everyone wanted live updates, and he was like, I'm on it. Who cares about the work, mates? I'd be texting you if I was in labour. I'd be like putting my phone down in between my... Yeah, we're like live stream at Ash. Yeah, I'd do it.

We want to see it coming out. He's live in your nightmares. All right. Big and Dan. Oh, my God. Dalla Dills y'all. We have your chance to have your bills paid off every day All thanks to Westpac

They want to help so all your horror bills So we have a mystery box With an unknown substance or item inside And then there is also a credit card If one of us can reach into the box Blindfolded and pull out that credit card We will pay your bill On Monday it was a raw chicken

Which doesn't sound gross But when you're blindfolded and you don't know what it is Pretty gross I thought it was like some sort of a live animal at first Because you imagine things as well When you're feeling like it's moving It was dead, of course. I had a vat of animal crap, which was...

Yeah, actually, I've got a replay of that. The Ash was not... She was not amused when she found out what it was. No, it's not. It definitely is not poo. It smells like shit. I'm just saying that to be nice. It's shit.

Are you serious? No, are you serious? Yeah, yeah. That is absolutely... I'm absolutely being disgusting. I don't know. Are you serious? It's just...

That was hard to listen back to. I'm not going to lie. You can hear the awkwardness where Clint and I are like, what do we do? You thought I was joking and then you realised that I was genuinely about to have a panic attack. It's all done now. And old mate, Azra, got her of 900 bucks. Yeah. Amy joins us this morning, hoping to have her horror bill paid off.

Morning, Amy, what's the bill? What's it for? And what's the total? My car servicing bill? and it's $280. Okay. Oh, it's a pretty good, it's a pretty well-priced car service,

but also money's money. Yeah, you need it. You don't have it, you don't have it. Yeah, and think of what you can spend on what you'd pay for that. Oh, free money. Who would you like to chuck the hand in the box and pull out the Westpack credit card?

Ash has already kind of taken itself out of today. Amy, I'm just going to ask you not to choose me, but the boys will do a better job than me. Oh, I don't know about that, Ash. Ah, Dan, please. Come on. Yeah, okay, get it. It's a great choice, Amy.

Good, Amy. I'll do this for you, my dad. Blondefold on. Blindfold is going on. I think the anticipation is probably worse. Yes. The first moment that your fingertips touch the substance is always. We've got another big one today.

Carl's having to back himself in. It's coming in on a trolley. Why do they always get brought in on trolleys? Because it's so big. Okay. Okay. Okay, Amy, I'm really just going to block out. I've got things in my head that it could be.

I hate stuff that flaps, anything with wings. It's moving back. Just move it back to, it's moving. Just get it back to the thing. Yeah, cool. Okay. Okay. Hold on, let me just, it's moving away.

Come back. You know what, I'd be worried, Dan? Because I know it's coming. We're doing this for two weeks. Just a whole bunch of mouse traps that are all set up. Oh, no. I just know the promo team. We would never put mouse traps.

That would break my finger. Well, no, a rat trap would. Mous trap would just. Okay, where are we going? Am I ready to go? I can just feel around until you feel the hole and then go through into the hole. Okay. Okay, I've found it, okay.

Just be a bit, you need to be gentle, okay? On the first, just be gentle. You've got about 15 centimetres forward that you need to go with your hand there. Keep going forward, my love. It's not a rat, is it, or something? Just be gentle. It's not a rat, hey. Dan, just put my hand into your poo, so.

So be careful. Just be gentle, and put your fingers up. Oh, God, that's something furry. Oh, God. Hey, promise you you you're not in danger. Okay. I promise you, you're not in danger. Okay, just be gentle.

I'm just going to imagine it's a cat. Kimmy, just killing my cat. The likelihood of it biting is probably low. Amy, I'm doing this for you, remember, my dad. It is furry. It isn't moving, though. Oh, it's a... Oh, you moved.

Move! That definitely moved. That definitely moved. It's soft. It is soft. It's lovely. It's moving. It's moving.

I'm not doing it anymore. Do I have to find the card? Yeah, yeah. Are you bailing? Where's the... It's there! What the hell is it? It's big.

It's bigger than a rat. Where is it? Where's that card? Yay! Yay! I don't want to hurt. The main thing is I'm scared I'm going to hurt this thing. Don't hurt it.

Don't hurt it. Okay, but it seems to like me because it keeps touching me. I'm trying... It goes there all the time. It loves the thing. Where is this thing? Go feel around for the card. Yeah.

You got it? Hey! Oh, go away. Has it got teeth? Not that I can see. Okay, good. Okay, here we go, Amy. I'm feeling...

Oh, I've got it. I've got it! I've got it! You got the card? Yes! You sure? Yes. Okay, congratulations, Amy.

Your car service bill of $280 is being paid. I was moving it around. So you thought that it was real. It was just a ball of yarn. It was like fluff, but Ash kept moving. it around in the box, I did, I thought it was alive. Who was our promo team? This is so stupid.

So, so far we've had a dead raw chicken that they got from the supermarket. Yesterday they got poo. And today a soft... Yeah, but you were terrified. It's not out that you thought it was real. Yeah, I know, but now I feel like an idiot. You look like an idiot, and I think you will in the video too. Wait, so you were filming that while I'm going, oh, away from it.

It's just a ball of yarn. And I was just holding it moving it away from you. That's not going up. That's not going up online. Yes, it is. No. Hey, Clint, I have a bit of pull around here and I can make things not happen

just as much as I can make them happen. That was the baddest thing I've ever seen. If you're unsure how credit cards work, learn how credit cards work and make them work for you at Westpac's Fear Free Credit Hub. All right, back again tomorrow if you want to register.

Just text Bill to 3343. Clint, Megan Dan. Let's go. Jackson Clint. All right, we hope you learn something in the segment. Unlikely, but there is a chance. Yeah, well, it's not sexy this week, but it is weird. Okay.

So first of all, I mean, this is a pretty normal thing. We all want to be cool in life, don't we? Oh, yeah, that's what we're all striving for. But sometimes the budget doesn't allow. So Dan has Googled two nights ago, men shoes, trendy, cheap. Did you find any? It's going to be trendy, but not expensive. Did you find any trendy cheap men shoes?

You know what, there's a lot of options at number one shoe warehouse. Okay. They came up, and I think they do a lot of. a good trendy stuff, but without the label. Yeah, but do you know, the sales are so good, I will, if I'll find something I want full price, and then I just wait till it goes on sale. But don't they do a buy one

and get one half price still? They do at the moment, yeah, there's a sound enough, it's constant, but they've got some birkenstocks, that aren't burk and I was like, if people ever look that closely at the label, because they look exactly the same to me? You need to be careful with those, I once got a foot fungus from dodgy burks. Yeah. Okay, but

was that because you're wearing someone else's burks? And it's because I wore them and they've got my feet wet at the ocean and then put them back on wet and then I don't think there's shoes fault No, she was like, you took me to the ocean That's just your general hygiene Okay, fair cool, for moving on

How to Sit Still? He's Googled that Oh yeah, because Hannah was like, we're watching TV the other night And I was wiggling, I always say wobbling And it's because it's ADHD And I just can't sit still But apparently you can get magnesium According to what I googled I've got a really good magnesium

That's like prescription only, I'll bring it for you Like a muscle relaxing Like have you ever watched videos of us when we're like our highlights, I'm constantly like, bouncing or moving around, and I wish I wasn't. Have you tried snorting your riddlin? No, no. Something to, I'm not a doctor.

Okay. I know people that do that. Oh, yeah, don't do that. Do not do that. I'm just joking, guys. I don't. It doesn't keep them still. Okay.

Good to know. You've obviously gotten into a bit of a teenage mutant ninja turtles hole this week. George, my son is like into it. So we're blaming the two-year-old. Okay. Were the ninja turtles human first? because I was sort of like they're talking turtles So I was like how?

No, don't you know how it started? They were just turtles in a lab And they were tested on and then they became ninjas Right Oh, that's the origin story. Yeah, same with the rat. We sort of just started watching the show Like halfway through a season

So I think I missed the origin episode Where they were just normal turtles. He also wanted to know if they were quadruplets Which I presume they are related at least. Yeah, they're brothers but one of them's older or something. Really? So there's triplets and then older brother. No, no, no.

all separate births. Oh, okay, there you go. And then finally, there's a world record still stand if you die? I'd like to know the answer to that surely. It does, it does. So apparently I was thinking, like, we could just attempt world records

where the person that attempted it and got it has died. And so we could be like, we could take the record from them, but it still stands even if they're dead. Yeah. And then you've done record for world's longest fingernails. Those pictures are always disgusting.

There's the most inconvenient record, I think, to hold. Yeah, that's going to ruin your daily life, isn't it? I was just thinking of a segment. we could do where Clint, because Clint loves world records. So is there something we can do where we can allow him to live his dream of like setting world records each week and attempting to do them? I thought you were going to...

I weren't you going to run backwards in high heels? Yeah, we never got to do that. I don't think the boss liked the idea. Yeah, okay. I didn't think you could even run forwards faster than the guy that did it backwards in heels. He ran 100 metres sprint, backwards in heels in 16.5 seconds. I don't even record you could run it in runners. Oh, shut up. Anybody call you.

I'm not being mean. It's really hard to do. No, I'm being mean. I don't think you could. There's Google history Isn't sexy, isn't weird Will it solve a great big mystery Which is a thing you would do Okay Clint Meg and Dan

Don't forget your roots by 660 Because it's Mali Language Week this week If you were unaware And I wanted to talk about To Wikiotrero Māori as an Australian So I'm obviously in Ozzie I've been here for less than a year My dad was an immigrant

Born in Lebanon, came over I married a very white boy From a mining town Three Hours west of Adelaide So like I've lived around the world and I never thought that I would end up here in Alteiroa. And before I moved here, I think I didn't know much about multicultural. In fact, I'm pretty ashamed to say that I probably pronounced it Maori, like a lot of Australians. And I think my only actual like knowledge

of the language of today was 660. And I know, because I used to listen to Don't Forget Your Roots and then went down on Spotify, came across a Todayo version. And I'll never forget driving along and feeling like, and I'm a spiritual person, but I felt like goosebumps. Like there is something inherently spiritual, powerful, magical about the language. So we moved over and we sent Buddy off to Kindi and life here is so beautiful. I love living here. The air is clean. The people are kind, yourselves included.

It's so wonderful. But I think the biggest, maybe the most impactful thing about moving over has actually been, experiencing what it's like to live in New Zealand, in Altero, where we have these kind of, the indigenous culture kind of celebrated so loudly and proudly. And obviously there's so much more to be done. But I love that after sending Buddy to Kindi, he kind of became our teacher.

So like family cuddles became Fano Cuddles. And then when I'd like make a dinner he liked, he'd be like, Kappa'i Mama, thank you for my Kai. And I was like, oh, at first we were like Googling things. Yeah, if I was really lucky, I'd get like a pucky and he's like clapping for me. And I was like, man, that's so cool. As someone who's kind of lived all around the world

and experienced different cultures and how to come here and feel that kind of, just have an opportunity to learn. And I feel really grateful. And I think we are all still learning. And I'll do a special shout out to like, producer Nipes, who's not here today, who is Māori.

He helps me a lot with pronunciation. I'll always like bring words to him at Tig's at my affair. Often at nighttime, buddy will be like telling stories or like talking about things. And I don't even know what he's talking. about. And I have to, like, call Teigs and be like, like, once I was like, Teigs, what's Papa Tuanuku? Like, buddy keeps waving to Papa Tornuku outside, and she kind of tells me. So I just think it's like, it's so incredible. And I'm so lucky that I get to learn something

new. And I just want to say, like, often when you live amongst something, you don't realize how special it is, and you take it for granted. And as, like, a foreigner, I just want to, like, thank all, you know, people just for, like, helping out and, like, teaching me words and you guys as well. Well, even my kid was teaching me, he's eight, and he was having big feelings and was getting really emotional about, like, just very little things. So I took him aside, and I said, let's go sit down.

I was like, what's going on, buddy? Like, let's talk about your feelings. Like, what are you experiencing? And he wouldn't tell me, and then we just kind of snuggled up, and then he just said, Kete Ririahou. And I was like, what? Like, because obviously they're going through all this in school,

I am happy, I am bored, I am angry. and I eventually he told me what it meant but my eight-year-old's educating me on Tereo Māori because now I've learned it. Keiteriri a ho is I am angry. So he was expressing his emotions in Māori to me for the first time ever, literally yesterday and then we discussed why he's feeling angry

and what I can do to help him to listen. But you know what I honestly believe? You've got like you've got Māori roots as part of your genealogy. And I think there is something like is it inherently spiritual about. that he's able to communicate to you something that's coming from a place.

He probably doesn't even know that it's coming from somewhere deep inside of him, whether it's from his ancestors or something. It's just something that's so special. And I think he probably feels it more than he can explain it with his language. I think that's so amazing. And I want to keep learning.

I really want to keep learning because it's honestly been one of the highlights of living here. It's such a beautiful language. And people are so kind when I make mistakes or pronounce it really badly. Like no one ever goes like, you idiot, you stood it wrong. You know, one thing I will say is Māori people will never pull you up on your pronunciation.

Totally. Other people might on their behalf. But Māori people, the experience I've had, they're just ecstatic that you're given at a crazy. It's better to try it and get it wrong than not tried at all. Absolutely. And it is tewikotao Māori. So, like, what a perfect opportunity for all of us, even if you've lived here forever, to learn something new this week. Good on you, Ash.

Thanks for sharing that as well. Because sometimes we do take it for granted in this country. There's so much more work to do. And look, Australia has... has so far to go when it comes to embracing Indigenous culture so to come here and see it has really made me

aware of how much further we have to go. Camote we're here, Ash. Clint, Nick and Dan. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. It's a game. We've been playing for a while. You can give it a bash in the car. Listen to the edge to your favourite song. Mute the edge. Sing along and then bring it right back of the chorus and see if you are in time.

It's the only time will allow you to mute. the edge, my loves. Yeah, which does a lot as well. And why do another one where it's just me? Boring. Let's add another voice. Okay, and behind the scenes, there's kind of being birthed from the fact that you and Ash are always doing your duets together and singing away.

Not just any duets, they've got to be a musical or a Disney movie. You know, when you like later in life meet someone and you're like, we would have been such good friends at school. I think that's Ash for me. But we would have been painful. No one would want to hang out with us because it'd be like, we're going to be like, Because we'd be like, we're going to do a performance, everybody. Ash would have friends owned you in a second.

She would have been like, he would have friends owned each other because we would have just been like musical theatre. And I would have had so many girlfriends still. But I would have friends owned. I'm starting to understand why you get all nervous the day of your hit the spot. And there's a lot of pressure. Yeah, because we've done so many successful ones. You don't want to ruin them.

Yes. Okay, well, I hope you guys don't fail because when it doesn't go your way, you guys get nasty. You have cause come out. I can show you the world. No, you're out of key Shining Shina Don't bring the segment down, Ash.

I don't do you, you don't want to do it, do it anyway. We've had such success, we don't want you to bring it down, but. That's not even really a duet though, is it? Still being negative? And the thing is, that's why we're not doing Aladdin because, oh, I don't think Ash could do it. And I want to dedicate this effort to my son, buddy. Because he loves his son.

My wife, Hannah, loves Frozen as well. Oh, so the people we love most in the world are counting us to not stuff this. So I'm playing it's Harns, isn't it? Yes, and I'm playing Anna. Okay, and we're doing Love is an Open Door. Oh my gosh, I'm so deaf. Same. I feel like I'm going to stuff it up, but let's just go, okay?

I mean, if we stuff it up, let's just go again. No, no, no, you get one go. No, I want to see you guys be losers twice. No, no, if we stuff it up before the crescendo bit, and we know that it's off, we'll just... Sounds like you guys are already prepping for failure. Remember, if you're listening right now, you're the judge. You text through, call us at the end, tell us if we hit it or not. There's no safety.

there you get one go at it and if this crashes and burns we're done you ready let's do this hit the jams Clinton a little bit of a lead in to find your rhythm and now I'm going to ditch the music I mean it's crazy we finish each other's sandwiches

that's what I was going to say I never meant someone who thinks so much like me jinx jinks again our mental synchronization can have but one explanation You and I were just meant to be Say goodbye Say goodbye to the pain of the past

We don't have to feel it anymore Love is an open door Love is an open day and day Love is so much more With you, with you, with you with you Got it, got it, got it now, guys. Smashed it out the park, London. It's almost like, it's always like you guys behind the scenes

practiced that 467 times in my presence. I don't lift the curtain too much. I'm people listening. Dad and I were staring into each other's souls every second. Do we just become best friends? Yep. Wow. All right, Chapel Roan, it's a hard act to follow.

You've got the job. I've got goosebumps. Stop it. Light. Hit it. Hit it, buggy. Hit it. Hit the spot.

Whoa. Just tuned in. You missed the moment. I got a sure little recap for you of Ashlandon and Dan, hitting the spot with a Love is an Open Door duet. Of the past, we don't have to feel it anymore. Love is an open door. Oh, I'm going to be more on.

It's so on. That is better than our practices, I think. And you know what? I'm going to say, I've done a lot of hit the spots in my time. That was my favourite. Oh, darling. I feel like that was the best one ever. Oh, that means a lot to me.

Thank you. I want to cry. Oh, don't. Oh, there are other people who are supposedly crying, which I don't, I think it's a hyperbole. I don't think you're literally crying, Danielle. No, people are. They are. You are crying, aren't you, Danielle?

Oh, my God. I am like. Oh, the tears in my eyes. I'm not even joking. What? It makes no sense. I think people walk around all week with a lot of pent up tension, and I think this gives us all an opportunity to just let the emotion out.

You know what? The world's a very sad place at the moment, and I feel like just a little hit the spot every now and then lets it out. I just imagine if Daniel gets out of the car, and someone goes, you've been crying, and you have to explain why. It's so weird. I love that you cry, Danielle, because I will say this. We take it so seriously, don't we?

And so I love that people go along the journey with us. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Thanks for listening, Dad. You guys, I love you guys. You're so awesome. And Ash, the vocals, oh. Yeah, she carried it.

Dan's an incredible singer, so I knew I had to bring it. Well done, guys. Great drive to work this morning. Well done. Oh, thanks, Danielle. And Anna, also from Tohonga. Good morning. Good morning.

It goes. So good. So good. So good. So you're So good. So you're happening.

And he was, he was ready for it. Yes. He listens to you guys every morning and every day he says, can we please go on the radio?

Bye, today's the day. Morning groups? Yeah, so here he is. Good morning. Good morning. Oh, there you are you, mate. Are you only three?

You sound like you're five. Yeah. You're a big boy. Wow. Did you hear us singing Frozen for you, Ruben. Talk to the lady.

My son does this when you're named. Yeah. Yeah. Who sing better, do you think? Ash or Dan? Who sing better? He's three. He can't answer the question.

You. Oh, thanks, Matt. Clint didn't sing. We love you, Rubin. Beautiful boy. We know that you are such a good boy to Mommy. We love you, darling. Have a wonderful day at Kendi or with Mama or wherever you're going.

I love you, Dan. I love you. Oh my God, I'm going to cry again. Oh, God, that just got me right now. Owry, ow, oh, we, ow, oh, we, oh, we, oh, oh, my ovaries. Oh, God. If I had ovaries, that'd be stinging as well. You too, buddy.

Go anytime, Roobes. Hey, Roobes, come back. Come back, come back, come back. I've got something for you, and I think you're going to love it. From the same guys that made the Paddington movie, they've made a movie called Kangaroo, and it's in cinemas tomorrow, and you're going to be one of the first to see it.

We'll send you and your mom a double pass. You're very welcome, bud. He's a very good talker for free, Rubin. He'll be taking our job soon. Love you, darling. Well, do you know my favorite part of the whole bit was right at the end when Dan said this? I've got goosebumps. Stop it.

I love life. I love life. I was in the moment. I'm going back to my husband. negative self again now. All right, well, Asch has got something that she thinks might make us cry and if you don't cry then you... Savage. There'll be goosebumps again after this.

Oh God, too much crying. This is like proper sad crying, no, not happy crying. It's an emotional rollercoaster today on the edge. Have you brought your tissues? Ash says if you don't cry, you're an animal. Yeah, so something happened last night in our little fano that resulted in Adrian and I both sobbing. So I was upstairs prepping tonight.

Today's show and Adi was downstairs doing bedtime. So we have so many books in his bedroom. He loves books. And in the past, I've tried to read him, Dr. Seuss, and he hasn't really been into it. But last night, Adrian was reading him, Oh, the Places You'll Go. I love that book.

One of my favourite books. A great for adults as well. And for those not familiar, it's a long book, but I'm going to read your little excerpt of it to give you the vibe. Congratulations, today's your day. You're off to great places. you're off and away. You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own and you know what to do and you are the guy who'll decide what to do. You look up and down streets, look over with care. About some, you'll say, I don't choose to go there. But your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.

And it goes on. Beautiful. And it's this little character and it goes in these amazing adventures. And you keep thinking everything good is going to happen to them, but then the reality is not always. So I'm upstairs minding my business. I don't know that they're reading this story, but I start to hear some crying. And then I hear Adrian talking.

It's kind of muffled and the crying's getting a bit loud. I'm like, what the heck is going on down there? And I go down and Buddy is sobbing, like uncontrollably sobbing. And I walk in, I think he's hurt himself. Has he fallen off the bed? What's happened? And I said, Baba, Baba, what's wrong? Adrian's already got tears in his eyes and Buddy looks at me and says,

Mommy, I never want to go away from you. I never want to leave Mommy and Daddy. I want to be together forever as a farno. So he'd finish this book and looked sad and Adrian said, Bubba, what's, are you okay, Daddy? I feel sad. Why are you sad? Because I never want to be away from Mommy and Daddy. He cried for five or ten minutes, like sobbing at the thought that one day, he said, I don't want to grow up. When I'm a big boy, I want to stay with Mommy and Daddy. and the two of us just looked at, like, me and age and look at each other, like, the knowledge that when he grows up, he isn't going to want to be with us.

But for now, he's like, in a sense of being a little boy, because we are his safe place, the thought of being alone in the world is so terrifying to him. And of course, I lied and said, we're going to be together forever, and you can live with us forever. And I drew a picture of us as a family. And I drew all the love.

We did it together, drew all the love hearts around us. We put it up on the wall next to his bed. And I said, if you wake up in the night, you look, and there's our final. We're surrounded by what? We're surrounded by love, Mama. And you never have to be away from us. Can you imagine? I've never forgotten something I saw on Instagram when my kids were maybe two or three years younger than they are now.

And it said that you will be your kid's best friend for about 10-ish years. Oh, I know. Oh, God. And every time there's something fun, they want to do it with you. Yes. But there's going to be a time when they will then get their own best friends. Yes. And then they will get their partners and all these other things.

And it talks about how finite that time is where you are your son or daughters best friends. And those years go so fast. And that's scary. And when that doesn't happen, it's also a happy time because you're like, they're away. I've done my job. But then as well, you're like, that is it. Yes. But then sometimes your kid will stay at home to try to save money until they're like.

23 like I did. It happens. I hope so. He might still be with you at 30 because he knows how good he's got and he's like, I've got such a good house deposit. And it's just like so many moments, right, you wish them away. Like when your kid won't, like sometimes buddy just won't leave me alone and I've got things to do and I'm like, can you just go on and play? And I really, I never want to wish those moments away because one day he's going

to be big boy and he's going to go out into a world on his own without us. And as you said, Dan, that means we've done that job right. And you'll want those moments to come back where he's annoying you. You'd want them back to my house. That was a once a time where we read Dr. Susan, you cried because he didn't want to be away from us. He'll go, shit up, ma'am. I'd do anything for you to be dropping crumbs all over the lounge right now.

Touch me with your marmite hands. Get them on my wife's your pants. I don't care. Even you're 33, I know that. Put some my mite on your hands and brought them. As long as you didn't just get them dry cleaned. Because, oh, they're headache, right? Oh, dear.

Thanks for letting me share that, guys. Yeah, no, that was cool. All right, coming up next, the partner's unpacked bag supporters hotline. Oh, back to funny stuff. Yeah, yeah. Megan Dan. Oh, my gosh. Right, my wife and I are in sync with a lot of things.

We have periods. Oh, God. Except our periods. Oh, no, Ash, someone just said you're really intelligent on the text machine. And then you come out with that. Yeah, our periods are, and also our rules on unpacking a suitcase when we get home from holiday. My wife. My wife.

It still has an unpack suitcase from Father's Day. When was Father's Day? Father's Day was on Sunday. Two Sundays ago, wasn't it? 11 days. Yeah, so it was not last Sunday, but the Sunday before. As long as that's the same calendar month, my phone. No, I, the record, because I started shaming her on my Instagram,

and I started playing different songs that kind of tied into her laziness. 87 days, it's almost three months. She started using the suitcase as just an extra wardrobe by the end, I think. I think then when she did that, the 87 day one, she was trolling you. Yeah, yeah, I think so. And I'm worried because I'm now shaming her again on my Instagram that I'm fueling her stubbornness until just the other day when I realized the suitcase was gone. She did it.

And I was like, oh my God, I've shamed her into being tidy. And I'm okay with that because, you know. Are you like a real clean freak at home? If you've ever go to Clint's house, Ash, you've been there a couple of times. It's always just immaculate. Clean house, clean mind. It's like our house, but only because of Adrian. So he, you know how busy he is?

Like, I will go to bed and he'll be up for another 45 minutes getting the house immaculate because he can't even go to sleep if he knows the downstairs there's a bit of mess. If you took a photo of our room, there'd be one side immaculate, and then the other side it looks like, it looked like two different bedrooms. They just split down the metal. So we went around the 30th of August, which is 17 days ago. And I had a little, just a carry-on suitcase full of my stuff. And for two weeks it sat next to my bed.

And then I felt a bit bad because Adrian, he doesn't say anything anymore. He just does the look. I know what the look means. It's like clean up your head. So I thought, I haven't got the energy to like empty it because that'll take two minutes I don't have. So what I'll do is I'll just move it into the walking ward. So I've relocated it now. And I'm doing what Jamie did now.

I'm starting to use it to just put other things in. Okay, that's what Jamie did because I was like, oh my God, she's done it. And then I was like, or has she moved it? So she was in the shower. Yeah. And I got out of my phone and started recording her. Yeah. And this is the conversation that went down.

Quick question. I'm going to read your face. Have you hidden... You really know what I'm going to say. Have you... The suitcase. You're little, you little D. I knew you would.

So then I... She hid it. She didn't just move it to another location. She hid it from me, Lord. That's even worse! I went on a hunt throughout the house to find it. Do you guys know when mum hit the suitcase? What's the case? The one she won't unpack?

Knew it. New it. Full of clothes. She just hit it. Why? That's a good question, Cam. Yeah, I don't know. Just unpack it.

What a legend. What a left hiding is. Just unpacked it. She's my hero. Tell me, what, 10 minutes, tops, unpack a suitcase? It's not about the time, it's the mental weight of it all. My thing is, how many clothes does she have?

If I did that after a holiday, I wouldn't have any clothes. Oh, do you know what I'm getting? No, she has a lot of clothes. And they're all in different sizes. Oh, okay. Just in case she decides to be a different size. But also, we are on a holiday.

No, no, no, no. Women change month to month in the cycle and also year to year. You don't want to get rid of the old clothes. No, no. So, um. Case, I'm going to get skinny. again? I think today...

I am. Not that you're not, but I'm just saying. I think today what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a bit of a fashion show and I'm going to start pulling out all the things that my wife clearly doesn't need on a daily basis. Don't do that. And put them on. You should put them on. No, I don't think I was going to go that far. Oh, right. Right. I'd like to know what is the acceptable amount of time to leave a bag unpacked because my wife thinks the same day we get home from the holiday is too quick. Way too quick. So what is the acceptable amount?

amount of time we're beyond that, that's when I'm like, all right, babe, you're taking the piss now. Can I get my opinion? We talked about this, yes. Four weeks. Absolutely not. One week, max. No, four weeks, as long as it's the same. If it's the first of September, you do it, as long as you do it before October. That's fine. The next washing day, which falls after the holiday, that's when it should be done.

Okay, and I'm going 12 hours. 12 hours. You have half a day from getting in the door to sorting it out. You've got OCD. So literally that night or the morning. Too quick. Yeah. Okay, we'll find the average. Five hours, Rebecca?

Five hours, yeah, actually, Rebecca, that's my girl. That's more my girl. Five hours, and I'm being generous. Clint Megadam. Lesh, go. Trying to work out what is the acceptable amount of time to leave a bag unpacked after a holiday. So, Clint, what's your...

I mean, literally within the hour, but if I was giving you a grace period, I'd say 12 hours. Ash, you say four weeks. Mine is four weeks, the same calendar month, so... I say within the week. After getting it. And here's why, because I feel like when you get home from a holiday,

the true end of the holiday is when you unpack that bag. When you put it in the washing machine is the true. That you're done. The holiday's over. Maybe that's what it's subconsciously it is. I don't want to let go of our holiday to Mangafine. Yeah. So I'm just going to keep my bag.

You keep telling yourself that. Yes. Well, I'll never be able to afford to go back because I've got a voucher. Maybe that's what it is. Can we mark down the day that this happened? People agreeing with Clint for once. Yeah, there's a lot of people agreeing with Clint. But you know why?

It's because people that agree with us are ashamed of their crapness, whereas people that are like Clint, Taipei, are very proud of their Taipei-ness and they want everyone to be like Taipei like that. People are always saying depends on kids. Pre-kids, days or weeks with kids, as soon as you get on the door. Once their stuff gets, oh, it's so true. Rebecca, five hours. I think Britt was like 24 hours max.

Rose, I'm with you as well. Joe, your husband has an unpacked bag from when? Christmas. Oh, my God. Wow. Where is it located in your house? On the bedroom floor. It's been on... If I moved it, if I moved it, it would be fine, but he just will not move it from the bedroom floor. And so what's in this? Like, is it full still, or is he now using clothes out of it? No, he unpacks it. He just leaves the bag on the floor.

Oh, okay. That is strange. I don't know how to psychoanalyze that. Why would you leave it? an empty suitcase up. Because he's too lazy to put it away, I guess. I don't know. And you're too stubborn to do it for him? Yeah. Fair enough.

Yeah, because you want to prove a point, right? To a point. Oh, there's no way. I'd pick that suitcase up. I think it's time to put it away, Joe. He's not going to do it. At a certain point in life, you've got to just admit it. Yeah.

Do you know what happens is that you get so close to maybe the next holiday, if it's being like four or five months that you go, well, I've already packed. My wife did that once. She was like, well, I'm already packed for the trip because she never unpacked from the last one. I'm definitely guilty of doing that when I said travel a lot for work. I wouldn't bother unpacking.

I'll just take out the undies and put clean ones in and off I go again. Straight away, straight again. Well, Carlane is the opposite to Joe's husband. Carlane, you're straight in the door, unpacking. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah. The moment I get home. But aren't you exhausted from the trip?

Yeah. Or the travel and you're like, oh, I could do that tomorrow. But if you sit down, right? If you sit down, then you won't do it. And then it just sits there. So if you do it straight away, then you can have your shower and just relax. But I love sitting down. But imagine, Carlet, you know that feeling when you wake up in the morning?

Because maybe you flew home or whatever on like a Saturday. And you wake up Sunday morning, it's all done. And you've got a whole day. And you've got the whole day to do nothing. Make yourself a coffee and just your job. You can make a coffee with a pack bag. No, but that's a thing. The feeling, the feeling of it being done is chefs kiss elite,

because you can truly relax. Really? And I wish I could have that feeling, but I'm just too lazy to do the work that it requires to get the feeling. It can't take more than 10 minutes. Less. It's not about that, though.

And Ellie, you say there's no limit, just whatever you feel best. Oh, no, Ellie. I think my wife is in your camp. Morning, Ellie. Ellie, yeah. Hi. Yeah, I literally will live out of my return.

holiday suitcase for as long as I could. Wait, so you'll just start wearing the clothes until they get dirty, and then they'll slowly end up in the laundry, and eventually there'll be no clothes left in the bag, and that's when it goes away. Yeah, absolutely. Wash all the dirty stuff, because that'll have been separated in my suitcase, but otherwise the rest of the stuff, just keep taking it out. And then here's the thing.

If you're separating all the stuff, you may as well just put everything away. You're doing it. You're halfway there, really. Yeah. Oh, wow. I also think for a lot of people, it's like, when I see the suitcase on the floor, I am filled with shame, because I'm like, God. you're a piece of shit.

But it's like I get stuck in the shame so I just want to ignore it as opposed to just getting it done. Maybe it's in the name. Another Jamie just said I've got an unpack suitcase from six months ago. Get it, Jamie.

No, that is your wife, Jamie. She's just, you just don't know about that one. She's hit in another one. In the attic. All right, well, today I'm going to start pulling clothes out of the suitcase and I'm doing a bit of a, I guess some sort of a fashion show of sorts.

You should put them on and like, she'll get embarrassed by that. And then she'll put it away. Embarrass her into unpacking. That's not going to end well for you, darling. Give me a hot tip. Probably not. And Dan will probably just screenshot photos of me and her clothes.

And who knows where they'll pop up. It'll be a private folder somewhere on my phone card. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. I just into Adir and the former Prime Minister of Atero earlier in the year put out her memoir, a different kind of power, which I think is such a good title. It is good, eh? Because you kind of think of her that way.

Like, love her or hate her, she did lead with a different kind of spirit that previously has had led with, but she's got another one. She teased this book earlier in the year on her Instagram. I'm going to take a little moment and share that in September. I'm going to be releasing out into the world a children's book, which has actually been in the making for a really long time, although it wasn't really planned back when I was writing my valedictory to leave. leave Parliament. I wanted to do

anything other than write that speech and so I need to have writing this instead. See, Jacinda's a procrastinator too. I wonder if she'd leave a suitcase unpacked after a work trip. Oh, I reckon she would. She was pretty busy when she was in... I reckon Clark was probably putting it away for her.

So she said sometimes procrastination can be productive at least in this case because that's how I came to write mum's busy work. A children's book told through the eyes of a child and based on things my daughter said to me while I was PM. So in Australia and New Zealand and the UK, it's called Mum's Busy Work. She's also put out an American one.

Guess what it's called. Mom's Busy Work. Wow, you're so smart. So, yeah, it's coming out in about a week. And this is an excerpt of the text. Today I got out of bed and asked Mum, what day it was. Monday, she said, I asked if that was a daycare day. She said, yes, I stomped my feet.

That is exactly how it happens in our household. Every single night. Is it Kendi tomorrow? When I say, yes, but I want mommy to stay home with me. And then I feel like absolute shy as and for going to work. Then I say, it's okay, why does mummy go to work? And then he says to earn money to buy me Octanauts toys. And I go, there you.

Yeah, I'm so proud of women like you, like my wife as well as the same. She always feels guilty going to work. And I'm like, but he has got such an amazing role model and his mum knowing that she's going out working every day. But we'd feel guilty even if we stay at home. Yeah, you know, you'd stay home and be able to be earning money. Yeah, it's just, it's never ending. So, yeah, very exciting.

Good on you, Jacinda. It looks like a really cute book. I'm going to get that for Bud. Man, I might help him feel a little less alone about the fact that his mum goes to work. Did she do the illustrations as well? No, Ruby Jones did. Sick name.

I didn't love to Ruby Jones. Do you know, I'd be worried if that was one of my... If that was a book illustrator, with now with AI and stuff, you know, they said AI's taking a job. We can just type into AI, give me a picture of this, and then it does better than most people can draw. I don't think a computer can, like, some of the best

best illustrations ever, if you think of like Harry McCleary, those kind of things, you can't recreate that. The magic is knowing that a human being thwarted up. It makes you appreciate the art more. So we have to resist it. Give me a photo of mum walking out of the house, holding a briefcase in the style of

Harry Maclary. That's what you have to do. Or Harry Mum? No, like, in the illustration style of Harry Maclary. Your mum is a dog. You think Christine's a dog. God. I will take our jobs. Sometimes I think it won't, then I hear stuff you guys say. Just don't

Go to it, guys. For me and Clint and Dan's sake, so we can feed our children. Resist, resist. My kids aren't you? Christine definitely won't be buying Jacinda's book, will she? No.

Call her by a proper name? A taxinda. That's what Christine would say. No, we always call her Texcinda. I'm not buying that book. Zeta Mum, she's actually really lovely. And one time we got Mum and Justinda on together. And because Justinda Ardern was in and she found out.

And she's like, oh, let me try and talk around. So we've got Mama and also hilarious. They were both good sports. Of course they were. She's a legend. You have to be when you're a woman in a position of power. You have to be a good sport or people will say you're a bitch. Yeah, yes.

Holy shit. You made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough, check out our only fans, podcast, it is. Rover Music, Radio, podcasts.
