This is a podcast from Rover. Ever wanted to eavesdrop on a group chat that should never see the light of day? Congrats. You've found it. This is the Clint Megandandandan podcast. Clint Megandan with Ash London. The Edge Brecky. His harder in Auckland.

Good morning. It is 1 minute to 6 on your Monday. Good to be here. Hiro! Who ho! Heap phones on. You know we're still in here We're using peep behind the curtain

The same studio as the Edge Afternoons used For the 24 hours of interviews last week And I can still smell a little bit of the leftover body The festering bodies Apparently I wasn't here ash I was here when it's finished And when they opened that door I mean I love Sean Stephen Harrison

And this is nothing about their personal bodily hygiene But they stink don't they? But it's three human beings for 24 hours in a soundproof, airproof studio. And the whole time I was thinking, I can't go in there. I'm going to need, I'm going to need, like, sanitation wipe. I'm going to need air. So I said, can we please leave the doors open all weekend?

They reckon the smell when you crack the door on an international flight once it lands. It's horrific. I don't think that's true. Yeah, that's why they wear a guest mask when they open it. It's not true, darling. They do. Because the air on an airplane, that's why you don't get COVID on airplanes is because the filtration is so hard-call. Okay, let us know if you're like a flight attendant

Have you ever been on the backside of the door When you open it up It's usually the ground crew that do it So it's like someone from the That pushes out the airbridge You know, they're the first person to smell the whiff of the plane Maybe you're on your way into work this morning And you're like, oh, you know, squash the myth

Or confirm it for us Have I nailed my makeup today? Pretty good Yeah, you missed a spot Just here underneath your eye Just on the... What do you mean missed? Like two I haven't blended in it in it here

Yeah, just there. That's a pit bull done. Oh, okay. Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, my gosh. About to jump into our 6am throwback. It's us versus the playlist this morning. Kelly Rowland, work sitting in there at the moment.

Don't hate it. Yeah, she's pretty good, eh, Roland? She's the second best of the Destiny's Child Girls. What about Michelle Williams? She's into some great gospel music. I remember the moment that I actually heard the lyrics. Well, not heard the lyrics, understood that it's called work and it's all about

putting in the work. Before that when she's like, put it in. I was like all right, hussy. Oh, okay. She's not talking about it subliminally. No, I thought she's giving very clear directions as to what she wanted him to do. Maybe it could be a double entendre. I think it is a double entendre. I've been to be a bit Kelly Rowland before. She's lovely.

Yeah, she was on the voice as a coach. Was it the Aussie version? Yeah, she was lovely. Then I remember it was like the COVID year and all of a sudden it was like halfway through the season. They went from being on the chairs to all of a sudden having these like TVs tipped on their sides and like put on the chairs and when they would turn to each other they would obviously like turn and look to the right or

to the left and you're like you're not even in the same room so when they turn to the right talking to guy Sebastian like no one's there unless they've got like four TVs in the room where they're filming and they have to turn to the TV and he's actually sitting there I always say with the voice they need to just just do the chair flipping and then end it because after that It's a bit boring, eh. No, I don't want to see them battle out. Do you know what? They should as well.

Once all the chairs turn, they get to go, you're amazing. Yeah. They should have a 30 second timer or a 60 second timer where they have to choose a coach. Yes. They go back and four and the coaches argue about who they should go with. And you end up seeing like three performances in an hour. Yeah, no, it's too much. They should just flip it.

And if you get like one chair flips, you get $1,000. Two chair flips, you get $10,000. That's how they should do it. And then you get your money. See you later. Good luck with your music. And they should have ever. a golden buzzer situation where instead of the chair flips, you press a buzzer and it'd like

eject you out of the studio. Great golden chair, she just shoots off into the sky. I'd watch that. That'd be good, eh? I'd definitely watch that. When Adrian and I get sad, sometimes we just sit in bed and watch, like, compilation, world's best singing show auditions and we just cry. Yeah.

Lots to see that. Anyway, playlist today, what do we got, baby? Got Kelly. Sluid dog's birthday today, Dan was telling me. How old do you reckon? Yeah, take a guess. Oh, gosh. I'd go 53.

25. No, he's much older than that. 65. 60. Hey, Clint is bang on. 53 years old. Is he? Yeah. He's 53. He bought in 1971.

I would have said he was older as well. I would have said he was closer to 60, but no. Because he was quite a young rapper when he was famous. And then you start thinking what age you were when you were young listeners. Like in the 80, yeah. If we're going to do Snoop Dogg, I want, I want, Farrell, Snoop. Drop it like it's hot. But chint and juice is pretty good.

And every time I have a gin and juice, I do think of Snoop Dog. Yeah. What a combination. I mean, it's between Kelly, roll and work, which is a great song. It is a true. And it's a good Monday song because you like work, get back into it. Yeah, I think maybe we just think we're that for that reason.

Jack Honeybone would be very happy that we're not messing with his schedule. I mean, I love Snow. Drop it like it's hard. It is good. We'll make up your mind, girl. Excuse you. Don't have a comic girl again. Are you on drugs?

I'm texting Jamie. Are you on drugs? Girl. Put it in, she's definitely not talking about the work in the airfare. Shut up, boy. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Don't worry. What Ash is snorting at, Dan is about to share with the class and coffee ketchup.

What I was just saying to my beautiful friend, Ash, London, and you, Clint as well, that I think I'd kill it as a single dad in terms of the ladies. I don't know if I'd be a great dad. I thought he meant I'd be a great single dad because he took his kid out one time. I was like, all right, mate. What he meant was, I'd kill it with the ladies. if I was a single dad. I took George out on the weekend

because Hannah was out with the girls having a whiny, boozy lunch. And I took him to the viaduct which is in the city and I just let him ride his bike around his little push bike while I sort of walked around beside him. And the amount of the girls

that came up to the dad and one was like, oh, your son's so cute. And I had to sort of be like, this right, it's close. There is something I can't explain it. I think it's something about the unavailability. I don't know what it is

but yes, single dads are very, very sexy And like such a good dad as well I know with the sun, right Yeah, so hot Hey, I was watching it There must be a question that's used though Where you're trying to be like, Is mum still in the picture or are we a single dad

Or didn't start like, oh, is mum having a, you know Is mum having a mummy day today? Yeah, how many times did the girls ask you about mum? I took the ring up my ring off as well So I was like very clear No one asked me about mum I think you ask that on the first date, don't you? Yeah.

I also think if you're a single and you are not at least hitting up your mate who has a dog or getting a dog and going to an off-lead dog park, you're just doing it wrong. It's like fishing with dynamite. Like the amount of, because you go to an off-lead dog park, this is how it used to work when I had it at my dog. You unclipp him, they all run around,

and all the owners literally stand there while they watch their dogs sniffing each other, running around. And then you end up inevitably going to, going, which one's yours? Oh, how old is he? Oh, my God. And then you're just, you're into conversation and then the next time you're there,

you bump into them again because you're the same bloody dog bar. This is a great phone or we should do one day. Like, unlikely pick up spots. Dog park is a great one. Because dogs, as well, they have less baggage than a child.

You know, because obviously intrinsically a child comes with baggage, the ex-wife, etc. So, yeah, I can see how a dog would really make it easy. I know a dog's a big commitment if you're not ready for a dog, but go borrow your mate's dog.

And just let it run around the park where you live And then you'll keep bumping into the same sort of people. You establish a little bit of conversation. You go, hey, look, I don't know, we've seen each other a few times. I'd love to take you out for coffee. Or let's get the dogs together sometimes so they can have a bit of playtime because they get along so well.

But what when they find out that it's not your dog? And you're just using it to pick them up. No, I'm doing my maid of favour because I love dogs so much. He's so busy and I just feel bad that his dog doesn't get out enough. And I love the canons. Yeah. I sometimes feel sad that I'm never going to be able to pick up anyone ever again. Oh, that means you're going to be able to pick up anyone ever again.

Oh, that means you're. marriage is probably not. No, I never want to, because exhausting. But it's nice to just, like, it's like if you were, say if you were a professional pole vaulter back in the day, then you haven't picked up the bar for a long, long time. You're never going to vault the pole again.

She's just going to vault the same pole. You just want to see, like, if you picked it up, like 10 years later, like, could I still experience a feeling of going over the bar? Do I still have it? Yeah, do you still have it? Yeah. I think that's why I write romance novels, because it allows me to like feel like I'm single again.

Yeah, true. I had the idea for my next novel, by the way. A pole volta. No. Oh, what is it? Well, I think we're running about over now, aren't we? Do we want to quickly tell you now? Just give us the top.

Just if you're pitching to Scholastic. Okay, what's the top line? So it's about a girl? I don't think I'm putting this book in schools. If that's a romance novel, right? It's about a girl in a creative job who's become addicted to her phone, and she's losing, it's taking over her life,

so she throws away her phone and gets a dumb phone. Like one of those flip phones, so you can't do anything on it. But then she falls for a guy, and it's about dating in 2025 when you've got no social media, you can't text. All you can do is like organize a time to catch up or call. And you better show up the time you organise because otherwise... It means to get smutty because I'm a bit bored. Obviously it'll get smutty like 10 pages in.

Right, okay. But it's about like having to like date in this day and age, but the old school way. Because I think that's so sexy. It used to be so much some sexy. get more exciting. But now it's like any time you want them you can just see what they're doing

so you don't have to be like what are they doing now? Who are they with? Are there any dragons and shitn't it? No dragons! But they will be... When are the dragons going to have roots? Clint Megadale.

Leshaw! I went hundred the edge if you want to be our first call of the day we just lost Shiree. First call of the day. First call on the day. Yes, Shiree, good to go. Truck driver and gone now.

Maybe gone through a tunnel. Yes. Do these truck drivers get paid well because it's a tough gig. You know, some gigs have, like, a loading? I think a lot of the long-haul truck drivers get paid very well because it's very long hours, and they're away from family.

That long haul in Altaeroa, come on. What's the longest you can drive before you hit the ocean? Auckland. Eight hours, maybe? Yeah. Yeah, fair cool. And I think, well, no, you could go sideways. You get there pretty quick, but I guess,

Auckland, Wellington, eight hours. Yeah, and I think a lot of the time, there's only a certain amount of time you can work. Yeah, yeah. I don't think you're allowed to drive for more than a certain amount of hours before you have to have a break. Is that why they'll pull over? Yeah.

Maybe in those truck stops, you've got to have like a little nap. Yeah, and so a lot of the big long-haul truck drivers have a sleeper cabs so they can sleep in the back. Do you get sleep money? So if it's like, hey, we want you to go crush you to Auckland, you're going to have to have a nap. Are you getting paid during your nap? Because how good with that be it? Do you know by the Nullabor in Australia? No.

It's like a straight highway that runs from Perth pretty much through to Adelaide. I'm going to go to the length of it. Length of Null. And it's like you have to bring your own water, petrol. and it's so straight that like you can see just the horizon and like nothing. It's like 1,200 kilometres. Incredible. One straight road through the desert.

Have I told you the story that my uncle told me he used to be a long haul truck driver back in the like 80s? And it's a scary story, because you might need some scary music. But he pulled over. He was doing a lot. I think he used to do the Auckland to Wellington Root. And he pulled over one night. It was near some sort of truck stop. And he pulled over.

And, oh, Sherry's on. Okay, well, finish the story. I mean, he had asleep, and he woke up, and the cab was fogged up because he would have been on the inside of the truck. The doors locked? Was he doing the Titanic thing with himself? No, wow, close, Clint, because he woke up, and he turned on the truck, turn the lights on, and the windscreen was all fogged up,

and written on the windscreen, someone had written, get out of here. And he was like, oh, that's weird. Is that real? Turned on the truck, and turned on the windscreen wipers, and they went on, and didn't clear away the thing because it had been written on the inside of the truck.

That's a made-up story. I swear on my life. Boy, I swear, yeah, I believe that he told you that. But do we believe that it actually happened? Your Uncle Keith. He is pulling your leg, babe. And you can't ask him because he's dead now. He died that night.

He died that night. He never got out of it. He told me via text message and died. He's strangled by a ghost. Oh, yeah. Scary. I know what's up with Sharia. She was like, sorry, I'm driving.

We got her back on. She's gone again. I love him. We've missed our opportunity with you shir. That's okay. But we've got that great Keith story that's not true. That is 100% true.

Have you got a true story that's still pretty good like to hear? Absolutely. Inside of the truck and then he found out years later that he had parked on like an old memorial site.

He just gets more and more ridiculous. He was very clumsy. It was very parked. His trucked drivers and then just parked wherever out of that life. Driven onto a graveyard. He was drunk. He's dead

We can say it now The Clint Meggin' Dan podcast It's Clint Megan Dan's And that's London A few things to chuck on your radar For Monday the 20th of October Wow It's crazy when you say the date

You don't often do that It's like holy hecker 20 is I bought my friend Advent Islander this week You are insane Yeah but she really likes it And this one always sells out

It's the Tony's Chocolonely Oh yeah They're that Tony's These chocolates really good. It was $36 for the... But I guess it's 24 small chocolates so if you think about it that way, it's fine. Wittaker needs to look out because Tony,

he's also a Kiwi, isn't he? When he's bloody chomping at the heels, is that Australian? No, no, not even Australian. It's like made in Amsterdam or something. The whole time I thought it was Australian, and then I moved to Al Dero. I was like, oh, Australian business is taking over that and looked it up and it's European.

Oh, okay. Great chocolate. All right, Dan, what's time? A.I's taking our jobs, at least for the Gen Z is. Yeah, there's been a survey that studied 850 business. leaders worldwide, including Australasia. And the study found that 31% of all organisations now consider AI before hiring staff. So if they've got a job up for grabs, they're going, hmm, could that be covered by AI?

Then, even more, 41% say that technology is already helping them cut jobs. So they're going, I could get rid of Ash because we could just put in a computer there or get rid of Clint. He doesn't need to push buttons anymore. We get that automated. And then this is the scary figure. A quarter of all bosses in these organizations worldwide 150 surveyed say that most entry-level jobs will be gone

to all together within the next 10 years. Got to be a plumber. Seriously, what do I tell Buddy to do? And there's all these people that keep going, oh, AI is great. It's not. It's not. This is why I fight and I don't use it, apart from if I'm very desperate,

because if we start relying on it, we are digging our own graves. and also AI will become sentient and they will take over. People that are still using it for dumb things like did you see what Donald Trump used it for? Oh my, what a...

He is an effing embarrassment. Donald Trump used an AI fighter pilot, oh he's an AI like a fighter pilot and a jet. For context there is all these thousands of protests in America no kings saying like no to his like autocracy.

Yeah and he flies this fighter jet full of feces and then he just drops poo all over the protest And there's like footage of the protesters being covered in shit, be like, ah, he's a... And Donald Trump's posted that on his Instagram. Speaking of which, it will actually start asking you... What a segway!

Segway, off the week. Segway off the week. It'll start asking you if you want to jump on the new Instagram update early. I would recommend you do. It's actually so much more user-friendly. Normally, I don't like change with those sorts of things. Everything is accessible down the bottom. Normally you just keep swiping, like, up.

as you want to just scroll through your feet. Now you can also go left and right and you'll get your messages, then you'll get your reels, and then you'll go keep swiping to the left and you can actually post the story. So it's really just swiping left and right and up and down. Well, you might be saying nobody wants this

when it comes to the Instagram update, but I would say everybody wants this and speaking of which. Season two of Nobody Wants this returns to our screens this week. It was the breakout smash it of 2024. with Adam Brody and Kristen Bell. He's a bit of the trailer. I want couple stationary.

I want you to say, I got to check with the boss. Of course, I got to check with the boss. And of course, the answer's going to be no. Breaking news, you're in a psychotically annoying relationship. Way to make all our single listeners feel bad. I can't. So he plays a rabbi.

She plays a sex positive podcaster. The banter is elite. It's sexy. It's romantic. It's so funny. This for me was the high... TV-wise, the highlight of my year. The writers...

It looks good. If they can't get the writers from season one for season two, wouldn't it been worth making? No, absolutely not. It was fantastic. It's a kind of show that inspires me to create, like, to write.

I watched that and I was like, this is how I want people to feel, make people feel. I distract them from life and just have a bit of an escapist fun rom-com, which we don't get it anymore. So it's dropping... Thursday this week on Netflix.

I thought you were going to be like September 2026. No, no, on the 23rd. They're so close. No, this week, that's good. Yeah, and then in December, do you know what's back in December? Emily and Paris. I'm nearly less excited about that.

Yeah, me too, but still I love the outfits. Wait, so how long, how many days? Three days. Three days? Yes, and it drops all at once. So he's a rabbi. And Bridgeton's coming back as well in January. So he's a rabbi, she's a sex positive podcaster.

Yes. And speaking to them scandals next with Ashton. London. Very good. It wasn't as good, but... Oh, don't compare it to the other one. It's never going to be as good as this one. I would have football next.

One of my... An unexpected love for me, because I'm not really into sports. But sometimes all it takes is a good doco to get you emotionally invested. All right. Clint McGon Dance. SpinkyBee. Time to get on the bandwagon, Ash Records. Well, it's less get on the bandwagon, as I said.

And it's more formed bandwagon. So I had the chance. last year to go to my first ever A-League game. I'm an Australian, so grew up on footy, which for us is AFL. But this time I was like, I'll go and see soccer. Everyone's like, no one calls it to soccer. It's like, okay, okay, okay.

So we went and saw an Auckland FC game. It was so much fun. It was a Go Media Stadium. There's like heaps of stuff for the kids. Everyone was loving life. It's the same home ground as the Warriors. There you go. I don't know much about rugby.

I mean league, I mean football. I mean, whatever you're supposed to call. So there is a documentary that's come out. And this is like for so many of us. us, just like what's the driving one? No, what's the documentary? Drive to survive. Drive to survive. Yeah. Many of us could not give a crap about car racing.

You watch Drive to Survive. You meet the drivers. All of a sudden, you're the world's biggest fan. You're obsessed with Lewis Hamilton. Come like, welcome to Rixham. Yes. Ryan Reynolds bought a, like a football team. And I'm obsessed with that documentary about following the success, you know, sometimes of that team. And I think a lot of the time, the thing that makes sport good is the person. personalities and the people that play the sport.

Because you want to get to know them. So when you watch the game, you're like, oh, that's the guy that moved over from Japan with his family or whatever. So this is a bit of the trailer for Forever Auckland FC. The football and gods occasionally come up with storylines which seems scarcely believable. Are you telling me you think we can win? I think we can win. My.

Gives you a goose. bump. So if you're not across it, Auckland FC had the inaugural season last year in A-League finished top of the table. Which is like, I don't think it's like ever happened before. No, it was unbelievable. So to go to the game at Go Media with such a winning spirit was pretty magical. And I highly recommend you watch this doco because

like we said, we drive to survive. It's one of those things where you find yourself so invested. And it's just a really fun thing to get the family involved in. Like, no one's getting hurt. I know that makes me sound lame. But, like, I don't want, you know, I often worry about buddy watching dudes really pile on and his blood and, I don't know, football's a bit more like, kick them all, have a bit of fun. Yeah. Clint would, Clint likes to think it's really hardcore. Well, I played in a friendly charity event last week and one of the girls got her ACL ruptured in the first two minutes.

Clumsy. Football is more hardcore than we thought. So the season two's just started. They had their first game in Melbourne over the weekend. But the exciting thing to watch is in a couple of weeks on 8th of November is well. Wellington versus Auckland. Yeah, the Phoenix. So this is like a hardcore rivalry,

which is definitely covered in the documentary. Because I guess Auckland came along and joined, because for those that don't know, the Wellington Phoenix is the only New Zealand, was the only New Zealand team, and otherwise in Australian League, much like the Warriors and the NRL. So then when all of a sudden Auckland came along,

it was like, oh, okay, well, it's nice they're there, but they won't do it as well as the Phoenix, and then they just dominated everyone. And then when they started doing well, as you'll see in the docket, they're just got this money. They just got those money and they're like, yeah, and we're the best.

Yeah. Because I think, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure like they got an owner and he's very intertwined in like football circles. Yeah, and owned other teams and players. And so if they weren't playing very much in these other teams, he brought them over to play for Auckland. So it's a perfect time to watch her get on the bandwagon because hopefully this year they go one better.

Yeah, so I recognize on time, get around. It's just started and take your kids along to Go Media if you live in Auckland or in Wellington when they go play there. Super, super fun, highly recommended. And we should support local productions as well. And people that say football's a little bit of a, you know, it's not as hardcore and as much contact as rugby and leg.

Clint got concussed the other week. He came into work the day after he was stumbling everywhere, wasn't pushing the buttons. Possibly it was a nightmare. So there you go. No, Go Media Stadium has never seen so many wins last year. Seriously? Not like a win, really.

Again? We'd love to know what bandwagon Are you ready to jump on at the moment? Are you like, oh, it's not normally a bit of me But I'm actually starting to come round And I'm giving it a bit of a go Whether it's, you know, supporting a sports team Or something a bit different.

I'm going to get on the bandwagon Of baggy jeans, finally. Really? Go back to go out of fashion. Now I'm ready to get on. One of the boys at Football Prize Giving was like, we were just sitting having a few beers He goes, those are quite baggy, those jeans.

And I was like, yeah, yeah. And he goes, what's that about? And I was like, oh, well, they're in. And he goes, what about skinnies? I was like, I mean, you do you? And he was wearing very skinny jeans. I was like, you do you, bro. But technically, fashion-wise, no, that you're not the adult supposed to be.

And he goes, skinny legs on men are, if we can see the ball bag. If we know. Is that the rule, is it? Ball bag, don't wear them. But he was ecstatic because he was like, your bands look way comfy. I was like, yes. And they're in fashion, bro. What's the bandwagon you're jumping on this year

or you have jumped on already? I went under the edge or fire us a text. We're talking bandwagons. Which one of you jumped on recently? Although some people started sending in bandwagons that they are sick of people jumping on. That's okay. I'll take that too.

People get up sick of people. Effing, salted, effing caramel. Every effing thing has salted caramel. Oh, that is so true. And to buy chocolate. The pistachio. Oh, that is good though. I agree with the salted caramel thing.

It's not overrated. I love salted caramel, I love a salty and sweet. Although we did get a bit of the lint to buy chocolate delivered last weekend. I had some and then I saw on Meg's story. Did you see this? Yeah. Did you see it? No.

Guess how much one lint block of Dubai chocolate is? It's a normal size lint block. How much would you expect it to be? $400. Oh, he's gone way too much. He's done the classic. He's on the classic growing way over. You always bowels of them when they ask you to guess because then their fat looks so bad.

It was 25. Oh, wow, that's way less than 400. You suck balls. $400 is chimp chay. That's what Clint spends on his lunch daily. How many have you got for sale? Are you doing a... I'll take eight, thanks.

25 bucks. Ash is doing a charity drive. No, does it anytime someone else you get always go so high. Yeah, that's what you're doing radio. You ruin the other person's moment. That's what makes great radio, Clint. Be a team player. Yeah.

I have fun. What a wanker. Your tattoo's ugly. Megan's sexer is saying I'm jumping on the Taylor Swift bandwagon hated all their albums before the new one but love it that's like the opposite

to what all the swifties are doing but I do respect that and it's an opposite it's a reverse bandwagon which sounds like a sex move That's one out of a move as well Ash's favourite actually Pineapple on pizza

and said I'm finally on the bandwagon come join me I'll add pineapple to other pizzas that aren't Hawaiian Pineapple is got a good one that came up It's slushy maker. A lot of people are talking about this slushy maker.

But is that, as a bandwagon, a thing where a lot of people aren't a fan of it? And then you're kind of going against the grain? Because I've heard, I've heard very positive things about the slushy. A bandwagon is when people are getting on something and you jump on it too. Okay. And I think it's one of those things. Like you're hearing a lot about it. And then you're like, nah, no, nah, nah, nah, no, no.

And then eventually you come around and you try the slushy thing. Because I've seen people doing this. I'm like, how good would that be? And you can do like, cocktails. You're upset. Well, Zara does join us with a slushy owner. Morning, Zara. Hi, guys.

What are you going to make with your Kmart Slushy Maker if you get it? Margarita's bit. Well, the thing is it's sold out everywhere, but I kind of just like it because you can do so many things with it. Like, you can do milkshakes and ice cream and slushy. And, like, the Ninja one. Yeah, I've seen the Ninja one, and I've heard that the KMat one is just as good, if not better. How much?

What's the price? That's differential. Are we talking? I think it's around 180 for the Kmart one. And then the Ninja one can be between like $3 to $600. That's a bit expensive. Do you know what we're going to do for you Zah? I haven't asked the producers.

We are going to call Kmart and we're going to see if we can get you a slushy maker. Because I'm online. Well, they might say no, babe, so don't get too excited. But we're going to try. We've got some pool in this fine nation. Change. Change your life. So we'll try, babe. Okay, I'll give me 24 hours. I'll see what I can do.

You can't see my face right now, but I'm so grateful. Thank you so much. Zara, don't get your hopes up, because Ash doesn't really have any pool of this country. She's from Australia. But thank you for, like, try. Maybe I can get it in Australia, and I can get it. She might be about my mom can pick it up. I'll have this song ready, and we'll play it if we get you back on with the good news, and we have your free slushing maker for you. Right, Zara?

Okay, thank you so much. Oh, she thinks it's coming. She's crying, Ash, you better, but you better get it. Someone else, I only just got TikTok last weekend. I'm on the bandwagon. Bloody hell. Oh my goodness. Clint Meg and Dan.

The Edge. 1K.E.Z. Money. Practice makes perfect. And now you can play anytime online. Morning, it is bang on 7. Wednesday. Some of the best easy money players from around the country are going to be joining us in Auckland for our easy money live event.

and one lucky player who can correctly answer 10 questions in 30 seconds with the letter that Ash gives them will walk away $10,000 richer. Yeah, the best of the best, the cream of the crop. Yeah. All right, let's get into it. 30 seconds, 10 answers. You can pass, but no repeated answers. Playing this morning is...

Alec, truck driver from Auckland. Morning, mate. Good morning, how you doing? Yeah, Alex. You in the truck now? Yeah, I'm in the truck right now. Give us a toot. Give us a toot. Come on. There he is.

Oh, it's a smaller truck. It still does the job, gets it from me to be. All right, here we go. Your time will start at the end of Ash asking you your first question and your letter is. Why for yes ma'am? Ready to go, Alex? Oh, yeah, I guess. No, often people think the weird letters are hard, but really the weird letters are actually easier

because the words are weird. they come to you quicker. Trust me, Alec. There's less options for your brain to sort of scan around. Okay, when you're getting with Y, can I have a girl's name? Elise. A website. YouTube.

A TV show. You and me. A song title. You and I. A movie. Uh, yesterday. Something you use when baking. An activity?

Yawning. Something you do with your mouth. Yow! You got it, that was very good. Well, you got seven and passed one. Something you use when baking could have been yeast, a yolk, yellow food, dice. Lots of options there, but yeah, that was funny when you used. Yorn.

So what you're doing with your mouth? Damn it. I like that. A wonderful. effort, Alec, thank you so much for playing this morning, sweetheart. That's all good. See you guys. It was a good effort.

Good effort. Back again at 8 o'clock. Also at 8 o'clock this morning, a very interesting AMA. Ask Me Anything? I entered into our relationship and our marriage knowing he was an out and proud gay man. Yes, Clint's wife. I've done that game twice now. Still doesn't seem to.

Clint, megan, Dan. And it's time for it. So I have a podcast called Hopeless Romantics. Both of the boys opposite me have come on the podcast. They've come on their penis ever appeared on the podcast. One of us came on. Talking about their relationships. And the two highest streaming episodes of all time are your boys.

So I like you. So we tackle so many issues around love and romance. And one thing we do is the Hopeless. hotline where people call in. And this week we've got a really good one. And I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Because it's, we're talking about settling, which is something that none of us have personal experience with, but we can imagine. So I will, um, do a shorter version of this person's message. She said, I'm in my early 30s and I'm writing because I feel stuck. I've been with my partner for about five years. On paper, they're great. They're kind, stable. My family

adores them. We have a comfortable life, a shared mortgage and a dog. There's no big dramatic reason to leave. But lately, this quiet, nagging voice in my head won't shut up. Is this it, is this my person? She goes on to say, we're more like friendly roommates and passionate partners. She's feeling jealous of friends who talk about their boyfriends or girlfriends, husbands, wives. They couldn't live without them and they don't know what they would do. She doesn't feel the same way.

And in the end, she says, my question is, how do you tell the difference between simply being comfortable with someone and actually being in love with them? How do you weigh the fear of being alone against the hope of finding a truly fulfilling connection? Now that's a tricky one, I reckon, especially if you've been in a very long-term relationship because I think you have to work at relationships, right? And sometimes you go through peaks and troughs where maybe you're not like, everything's

not firing, the passion's not there. That's normal. But that's normal. But that's normal. But I think when it becomes like prolonged, then maybe this person is where it's just kind of there's, everything's very stagnant, you're kind of just roommates. And that's prolonged, I think then there's an issue. But I think you can not force romance, but you need to,

make situations, make possibilities for some sparks to, because I think sometimes it goes, but you can get it back, but you've got to try. So like book a hotel or go to like a nice date night, get a bit dressed up, like sit the seat for a bit of room. Because I think the work part comes in. Is she assuming that if she throws it all away, then her night and shining armour and this like passion that she's never experienced

for will show up next year? What if it never does? And that's exactly right, you have to run the risk that you, are going to like honour yourself and be like you know what this isn't enough for me I want more I want more you then run the risk of being

single for a while which can still be a very fulfilling life have they got kids no kids just a dog so that makes it simpler because I think when there's kids involved as well there's this whole other aspect of like do we stay together for the kids I think she probably isn't looking maybe she has

but at the situation that she could have what she wants like a more fulfilling passionate life with the person she's with. Yeah. Unless she's like, I've tried everything and it's just, it's not. I would say you've got to try first. You've got to like force the spark, go on holiday, have some date nights, like try and get

the intimacy going. And if you still, maybe the thought of doing that is ick. That's a good sign. If the thought of like going on date night, maybe it makes you go, oh, or cookies, then I think. It's an interesting concept, though, with how many people were just like, the fear of starting again is too much. So I'll just settle. or can I give you the best analogy that I think my brother gave me this analogy.

If we think of relationships as a ladder, right? And at the top of the ladder is I'm with the person I'm meant to be with. We're building a life together. We're working towards a common goal. I've made it. We think that if we're in a relationship with the wrong person, we break up, we think that sends us further down the ladder to like starting again. But really, breaking up with the wrong person sends you up the ladder towards being in the

relationship, if you know what I mean. You're better to be at the bottom of a ladder you're wanting to close. climb than the top of a ladder you don't want to climb. Yeah, kind. Well, it's not really the analogy, but you don't take best. Analogies, but both good. Totally. So I would love to hear from people either who have, I mean, settled is a bad word.

But I think for some people, maybe companionship is enough. You know what I mean? Like, maybe a nice, easy life without financial stress because there's two of you. And we all know that person that's, like, every time they break up with one person, they're in a new relationship like next week. Because they can't be alone. And I think if you're like out, you're with someone and you're looking around at people going,

I'd like to climb that later over there. Yeah, it's a pretty good sign. Yeah, it's a pretty good sign. So maybe you broke up with someone at a later stage in life and took the chance and said, you know what? It's a good life. It's a good relationship, but I don't want good. I want great.

I'd love to hear from you. I want like 40, 50, 60 year olds who said, this isn't for me. And then boom, a year later, you're at your hot yoga class and in walked rod. Sparks flew. sounds hot if he's doing a hot yoga. He had his shirt off in the yoga class, I reckon. So did you settle?

Or did you make the break? Yeah, we'll take both? Yeah. Okay. Let us know what you're up to at the moment. We'll disguise your voice change your name as well. If you're currently in a situation and you're willing to admit that you're settling right now. But obviously that's hurtful for your partner here's.

We can change your voice. No one or know who you are. I want to talk to Rod. We'll change his voice as well. It doesn't make it. When hot yoga's over, give us a text. Oh, 800, the edge. I'll give us a text on 33-443.

Talking settling. Are you staying with someone because you're too scared to start again? There's too much admin. Can you imagine the admin? I never want to leave Adrian. I'm so happy. But if we did break up, oh my gosh. House, like selling stuff.

I don't know how to log into my banking app. Nightmare. I'm locked out of it. I haven't got the energy. The thing is you've got to do it. You've got to bite the bullet because you don't want to live in like this lie for the rest of your life either. And then on your deathbed, I just never. ever want to have regrets.

Have you seen that? It's been going around on Instagram, but the whole choose you're hard. They say, yeah, marriage is hard, but divorce is hard. And they go on about like, yeah, where people talk about being fit as hard, being overweight as hard. It's like, choose your hard. Whereas we think the opposite of what we're doing is the easy part. No, no, a friend of mine who got divorced is like, it's so much harder than being married.

Of course. But another way of looking at it also is that I think, Because of like films and TV shows we've become obsessed with romance and love and I think some people safe companionship is enough. Yeah. And I think you've got to honour yourself.

If you're going, yeah, look, I don't want to rip his clothes off or her clothes off and I don't like, whatever, but I'm happy, I'm secure, I'm safe. There's a basis of respect. And this is actually fulfilling me and this is what's going to make a great life. I also think that's valid.

But again, it is about asking yourself those high questions. But there is older couples out there that do want to rip each other's clothes off. You know, like I've seen where they've been married for 40 years. I guess the question is, can we all have that?

Or is that just something that some people have? And because we can't all have it, but we think we should, we're all going around unhappy because we're not in the ripping each other's clothes off at 80 stage. But why can't you,

why can't anybody have that? You know, like there must be a reason why they have it and you don't. You know, and that's what I imagine you'd ask. Sometimes they're just lying to you, aren't they? Yeah. We're actually getting quite a few texts someone's texted through

I think we might try to get them on the line but understand if they don't want to reveal themselves and this person said after 13 years I'm settling and wanting to break free four years of no intimacy not even handholding I need more not married but three kids

and I'm petrified 13 years and the kids makes it tricky right because then there's this whole custody thing and like that's a whole other what you were describing was settling sound like a nice way to settle where you're like there's still respect

there's still love for not being able to hold hands for four years that feels like there's too much missing Yeah I agree For me personally Someone else is text through And this is the risk as well I made the break He remarried

But I have not found anyone else That was 18 years ago And I guess that that's the fear That a lot of people would have As well that they move on The part, your ex partner moves on And they're all happy And you're stuck with no one

Oh wow And then they said Would I have made the same decision If I knew 18 years later I still wouldn't have met anybody That's so rough. They don't know. And as part of that, I think it's like you've got to make the best life for yourself.

Like you've got to get out there and find opportunities to really enjoy life, enjoy your singleness. Most people were just texting through, but Tyler's willing to chat on it. Morning, Tyler. Morning. Okay. What's your story, darling? Sorry? What's your story?

I broke up with my partner last year. We were together for five years and engaged. Wow. And he said to me, I should have broken up with you four years ago. The only reason I stayed with you was because it was comfortable. Yuck. No one wants to hear that. Has it been since?

But it's a very brave decision to make. Obviously, no regrets. No regrets. No, finding out that also he cheated on me. Oh, yeah, that'll do it. Okay, so he's saying he should have broken up with you ages ago, but he's also the one who proposed you? Yes, yeah, correct.

Oh, that's got to be a bit of. of a mind here for you when you're trying to deal with the breakup and am I crazy because he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me now he's saying he waits to four years of his life with me yeah god that is yeah and it's like he knew I wanted to be married as well and then why I propose if he didn't want to stick around yeah so he'd essentially proposed to you knowing that you probably weren't the right one but he just was it was the easiest out I think so yeah and just because of like how expensive things are these days he was just like oh it was just comfortable it was easy money

Wow, yikes. Yikes, McGee. But I guess it's probably as more common than you'd think. So many texts and calls. Got someone else here. Yeah, morning, Nate. Oh, good I. Yeah, so you broke up with your partner a couple of years ago,

or a couple of months, sorry. Yeah. What led to that decision and how's it been since? It just didn't really feel right. To be honest, like a bunch of my mates for getting married. and all that, and, you know, you just can't see it in the long run. How's it worked out for you now since the breakup? Well, I've moved house twice.

Yeah, it's the admin. Yeah. And it's pretty crazy all over the place, eh? Yeah. Life keeps moving. Good on, yeah. Better than being with the wrong person. I mean, would it be bad taste to give Nate a double past to regretting you?

Yeah, he can take his mom? It's in cinemas on Thursday. I'm not sure with it. Help or hinder your current situation, Nate, but you don't know unless you try, mate. Oh, thanks. Can I just share one last story to take us out? This is, she said, me and my ex were together for seven years, and he pretty much said to me he stayed with me because he had nowhere else to go, which is so horrible. Then three months later, I met my current partner that we've been together for six years, had two beautiful children and bought a house. See? That's what you want. I love to hear it. Clint Migg and Dan.

Gossip of entertainment. Scandal. Clit megan Dan with Ash London. Scandal, thanks to Baraka, need energy. Baraka Sports Energy needs every day. We're talking ticket prices of gigs. I'm sure you guys have got some examples of, you know, like having to buy tickets and going,

gosh, this is quite the financial outlay. I'm going to Ricky Martin in a couple of weeks, taking the day off, line of Melbourne for it. Yeah, that's going to be... No one else in the world has taken the day off for a Ricky Martin. No, well, I had to get there and, you know, $400 for a ticket. Really? You know what, it's worth a $400.

Shut up. I know. It's not VIP. No, no. He's got two songs. She bangs and live in La Vida Loka. The Cup of Life, Maria. Never heard of them.

Shut up. Cup of Life, how's that going? The Cup of Life. Ale, Leigh, Le. Oh, yeah, no, you're right, it is worth $400. The Vida is pure passion. This is your blind spot. I'm still going to be backstreet boys.

No, my shit. Backstead boys is not a blind spot, Dan. And I pay the 400 then realize I no longer live in Australia and have to buy tickets to fly home. Idiot, idiot, idiot. Anyways, it is getting out of hand. I'm Jack Antonoff, who is a very famous producer. He's worked with Lord with Taylor Swift, huge, huge pop artist.

said this in a recent interview about the kind of reasoning and what he believes should be happening as far as gig prices go? If you have all the money in the world or you have absolutely nothing and every penny matters, an artist supposed to say,

hey, we recognize our audience, this is our ticket price because it represents everyone and it represents us doing this without trying to break everyone and the call. Got it, right? So let's say that it's that number.

This person and this person, even if it means nothing to this person to get that number and this person to work for weeks, when they enter that room, they're supposed to be the same person. The idea that all these things are turning a venue into like a free market where it's like,

I'm here, I paid face value. So-and-so's here. They paid a billion dollars and so-and-so bought their ticket for 30 cents when the scalpers dropped it nine minutes before the show. Like this like moving thing, it's like just set a price and let people go in. Yeah.

It's so true. Now, I've got to do a shout out to Ed Sheeran, who famously keeps his gig prices affordable. I think the reason he can do it is because the costs of his tour are a lot less because he hasn't got like the backup dancers and the full band and the hoo-ha he's so good that it's him

and a small band and a loop pedal but his latest tour is $230 is the most expensive front general admission standing I think for you know the most expensive to you because they go down to 100 bucks which is affordable for family four you can save up for your $450

take the whole family out sit in the nosebleeds right at the back, but at least you're still there and you're still part of that. It's still expensive though. I know. I just looked, asked AI what the average price in New Zealand is for a ticket, and it's gone up exponentially since COVID. So the average price five years ago was $90.

It is now $220 on average to go to a concert. Any concert in New Zealand. And people are so desperate for, they often sell out and you don't even get them. They end up waiting in the bloody ticket master waiting room on Zoom to your friends, trying desperately to get tickets. And like Clint said before, if you wanted to take a family of four to a gig like that, that's $1,000.

Totally. And I think it is going to come down to artists to do what Ed Sheeran's done and put his foot down and say, and I imagine that would be a deal that he's doing with the promoter or with the venues. And if I'm going to come

and I'm going to sell all these tickets, the rules are... You can only put 15% markup on tickets. Exactly. And we're not going to put in place ways for scalpers to not be able to get a hold of the tickets and stuff. I'd love for it to be disclosed out of the, say, $200,

ticket price how much the artist gets and what the other fees are in terms of the arena and the promoter and who's clipping the ticket. Well Teddy Swims his first tour last year, his first big world tour. He earned nothing from that. It all went back into the production and the company. So he's only made a profit on this current tour.

Wow. I don't want artists to starve but I also like how much I think as what Jack is saying artists should have the power to limit these big companies, these billionaire companies shouldn't be able to say be so greedy, you know, we want more, we want more. Look, you know, my fear is that our kids' generation are going to miss out on the magic of live music

and keep living through a phone, keep missing these magical live experiences because there is nothing like being in a stadium full of people with your favourite band. Amen. Clint, Meg and Dan. Did you know you could claim ACC for bad tattoos, depending on how bad? Well, it costs the country apparently thousands of dollars a year to help people with ACC claims with bad tattoos. And I'm not talking specifically about tattoos where people are not happy with.

They're like, oh, I don't like their design. It's when you get an infection or some sort of issue happens around the tattoo and getting it, given it. I think if it said no, Dan hasn't obviously got any tattoos. I have one tattoo and I was fine. Dan's got a paper plane.

Oh, you're a little thing. Taylor Swift thing. Yeah, but I got that as part of a whole, you know. Well, I wonder if you could get ACC, because did you feel like you got bullied into that at work? I think I've left it too long. It was like two years ago now. If I'm like, actually, I feel bad about this.

ACC, please. I think it's a lot of people are getting infections from bad tattoos. And it just shot. I mean, I should have got an infection from my wrist one because I got it, a friend of mine in L.A. was cat sitting for a Playboy model. And there were these two, you know, those, you know, very niche, but you know those hairless cats like in Austin Powers.

Two of those are worth like $20,000 each or something. So I'm sitting at this on the couch and she's like, do you want a tattoo? I was like, you're right. So she sets up and these cats are just crawling across me and around. And I was like, this feels wrong. You hate cats just in general, like ones with fur on them. But you have a tattoo that you've removed or removing?

Yeah, well, I got agape tramp stamp stamp during my Christian years growing up. And then I just didn't like it anymore. I got to age 30. I don't want a tramp stamp stamp stamp stamp. What's agape? Agape is Greek. for love. It's a New Testament thing. The premise behind it, very niche.

He's got a lot of niche stories, I do. And then I decided to get it off, and then I had two sessions. And I got seven local anaesthetics before I got it done because it's so pain for the laser. To get the tattoo removed is like 20,000 times worse than getting a tattoo. So I had two sessions that has broken it up quite a bit. Now you can't really tell what it is. But then COVID hit and they closed down.

Then I got pregnant and you can't have it when you. pregnant and then we moved. So I've got like five sessions that I've paid for at this random plastic surgery joint in Sydney and I've got a half-lays-it-off tattoo. And that's the thing. That's the reason I don't get a tattoo because I can't be sure that in 20 years I'll still like that tattoo, you know? And you won't, but that's part of getting a tattoo is that you commit, my friend who's

covered in tats says you've got to commit to crap tats. And that's what I wanted to do this morning. Oh, 800 at the edge of text 33343. You tell us the tattoo you've got. Okay, maybe it's a tiger on your arm or whatever. and then we have to guess whether you regret it or not. Okay. So it could be a little bit savage,

so be open to us being savage, but you might not regret it, and we do. You still may love the frog riding his skateboard doing shuckers. That's pretty sick. Someone just texted through Asha, speaking the truth, I'm getting neck tattoos removed with no anaesthetic. I, the skin on your neck is so thin. That's hard call that.

Okay, tell us your tattoo where it is. We'll guess if you regret it or not. not. No judgment here. No way. A little bit. We're talking about the amounts of claims on ACC through bad tattoos. We'd love to know what your tattoo is and where, and we're going to guess if you regret it or not. Yeah, so don't tell us at the start. We'll go to Daryl first day from New Plymouth morning, Daryl. Hey, how you doing?

Get it, mate. All right, what's the tap? Where is it? Oh, it is located on, oh, stick figure. Yep. Yeah. And arms and legs out saying woo. And yeah, got that tattooed on the bum. Okay, there's no way you regret that. It's hilarious. It's out of sight. Yeah, I reckon Darrell's a bit of a yellow guy. Yeah, woohoo. What do you reckon, Darrell, will be right? No regrets?

Yeah, no regret. Come on. You knew you, Deza. Well done. Tony joins us. Morning, Tony. Yeah, morning. What's your tattoo, babes? I have a little heart on my ring finger Curring, no, I reckon you regret it No, is your only regrets if they're broken up

No, it could be like a best friend thing And they got matching tats and now they don't speak anymore I'm going to go to regret actually Yeah, I reckon you regret it Okay, well I'm outnumbered here Tony What do you reckon? Regret or no regret? I regret it because it blew out

And it doesn't look like a heartage... Oh, no! Oh no! That's rough Yeah, it's rough That'd be an easy laser, do you reckon you'd have get it removed, Tony, or too much add-in? I have started

getting it removed, but they said it's a very difficult spot to get tattoos removed on your finger. Oh, yeah, true, dangerous. Yeah. Thanks for that, Tony. And finally, Cody, what's the tattoo you've got? Oh, good morning. Morning, sweet-out.

Yeah, got a full sleeve on my left arm. What's in there? What kind of design are we talking? It's like a full polish, like a whole mash-up of different stuff. You don't get it's full sleeve and regret it I reckon you love that thing You know it's you isn't it A tattoo on your sleeve

I reckon no regrets Oh yeah Yeah no regret How much did it cost you all up Cody Uh yeah it was a little bit But it's pretty much like a journey Like my whole life A beautiful

Oh she has a photo of it I was there good on you don't No regrets And finally Alana You've got a tattoo where is it and what is it? It is fatal. It says fatal and it is on the top of my back.

And yeah, it was done at 3 a.m. and it's a one big regret. She said it's already leading to guess. Yeah, we were already leading that way, buddy. Why did you get the word fatal? Why don't get it? You neither do I. I think 3 a.m. kind of saves it all.

Wow. Tattoo artists have an obligation, I think. If it's 3 a.m. and it's that ridiculous, you need to say, you know what, come back in the morning when you're, sober and if you still want it, go for your life. The amount of, Melissa's got three dolphins jumping out of her lower back. Doesn't say whether she regrets on her. Where are they jumping from her bottom? Like out of her

butt crack. A lot of people disappointed that Meg hasn't featured in this fauna. She has no regrets. I don't think about those tarrows. She's got a tribute to her late grandma and grandfather on her private parts. It's an essay. Yeah, but she also has words to live by, risk, learn, listen, inspire.

Samantha, let's start with why is the internet and the world so obsessed with your relationship? Well, I'm married to a gay man. Wow. But here's the most interesting part, correct me if I'm wrong. You knew he was gay when you married him. He hasn't since come out. Yeah, no, no. I entered into our relationship and our marriage knowing he was an out and proud gay man.

Wow. So you met at a production, yeah? You were both doing kind of like musical theater and I believe he heard your cackle and it changed his life. Yep. The cackle just opened his heart up and that's how I found my way in. But we were at an audition and it's one of those places that auditions and also does. the callbacks on the same day. We'd been like sitting around all day and they brought me into the room and they with like 10 other girls

and everyone at these auditions is like on their best behavior like Mr. Director I gotta get the pot you know and I'm just like I'm gonna go balls to the wall because I have nothing to lose. Then he came up to me and was like if they don't give you the part they're crazy

and I was thinking the same thing obviously and we both got cast and then we're best friends for 18 months and then started dating. So why not just be best friends? Oh my God, I was thinking the same thing. What happened when what was that conversation like?

What was the moment like where you were like, yeah, we're best friends, but let's date? Well, it was very confusing, but the thing that was different is that I've had a gaggle of gays in my friend group since I was a child. And so it's not like this was like my first gay male friend that I had.

Yeah. And there was something very different and confusing about my relationship with Jacob from like almost instantly. It just kind of felt like our souls knew each other. Wow.

And I think because he was gay, that's why it was so confusing. And then 18 months in, I went to an energy energy healer. I was like very much on a woo-woo kick this summer. She was asking me about my life. And and then when Jacob came up, she had said that she sensed that we that we shared a spiritual umbilical cord. And I was like, great, this is the Kool-Aid I need to hear today to just like approach Jacob about my feelings. And I texted him and asked him if he had feelings that were more than a

friendship for me and we ended up basically starting to date that weekend yeah what does dating because he's still very much 100% gay right and his sexual preferences are the guys yeah was it sexual straight away oh yeah straight away it was like as if we had never been apart it was like wow he came i was in san diego doing a show he drove down from los angeles it's about a two and a half hour drive away um so he came down that weekend to see the show and then stayed the night with me and it was like we kissed and then it was sexual from there and it was like the easiest thing that's ever happened it just felt like like it was like written in the stars and i mean theoretically should make no sense by all means is it a monogamous relationship yes all right more questions

Plenty come through on TechSam. 3343 if you've got one, and we'll chat more with Sam and her very unique relationship that has the internet intrigued. I mean, it's just unusual, isn't it? Very. I'm not going to yuck someone else's yum.

In the middle of one of these. Ask me anything. We've got Samantha on the show with us at the moment. Married to a gay man, the internet has a lot of questions, understandably, I suppose. But the way I'm understanding this, Sam, is Jacob is a gay man that is in love with one woman,

not all woman, right? Yeah, exactly. Like, gay plus Samantha. People would say, well, he's not gay, he's bisexual, but you're saying, no, it really is just the men and Samantha? Yeah, like he would be so comfortable, like saying that he was bisexual if he felt that way. Yeah, of course.

But women just do not do it for him. That's so cool. And has he told you about what it is about you that is attractive to him? He makes me feel like I am like the most valuable special person on this earth. He makes it very clear how he feels about me. But in terms of saying it, of course our wedding vows, he was like couldn't have been more poetic. He just always just says that I make him a better person. I feel like his other half

and I think the two of us just push each other to grow but also we feel comfortable being a thousand percent authentically ourselves There's a lot of people texting through now that are obviously straight women that are going I want a gay man now because it sounds like a dream partner

and maybe something that straight guys are missing We often tell people because we'll get messages from people who will be like, wait, I have a gay best friend and we're like, no, no, no. We're not saying go and do this. Like, it's not something that you can just find because you want it. It literally is just the package

that our soulmates came in in this lifetime. I mean, I was probably a gay man in a past lifetime. Who know? But I follow you on Instagram and the energy and the connection between you is so obvious. And you guys are a appearance to a child as well. We have one on the way, yes.

Wow. Exciting. Congratulations. Thank you. The queer community is famous for generally just being so accepting. Did it take your gay friends a bit to get their heads around what was going on? What's interesting is that the older gays seem to get it. If they've been in a relationship before, they seem to get it. It seems like it's more like the younger gender.

generations or Gen Z that will be the first to preach love is love. But for some reason, they don't all understand our relationship dynamic. And we're like, this is just taking love is love and putting it between two people who just really found love that transcended all labels. Probably because you stole one of the good ones. Sounds like Jacob was great. And then I'm like, oh, that's not fair. I wonder as well how cool must be when you're walking down the street

and you see an attractive guy and your husband goes, damn, look at him. And you're like, already, you're like, that's got to be fun. We have two different types. Right. He likes the more homeless-looking type. What does that say about you? I know, right?

That's so cool. I mean, you touched on it before, but it's sort of as proof of a soulmate, right? Yeah. Because you're both each other's person and who cares about sexuality and all that kind of stuff. you are each other's person.

I think it's really beautiful. I think we want other people to just, if we inspire anyone to do anything, is to be with the right person in their lifetime and find the person that makes, that just, it feels like their soulmate because it's undeniable when you are with your soulmate what that should feel like.

And how dare someone say that it's wrong? Exactly. I'm exactly. Hey, Samantha, if you want to follow your very unique and interesting story, What's your Instagram if you want to give it out for people to follow the journey? Yeah, follow me at at sign Samantha Wyn W-Y-N-N-G. Is it, oh my gosh, I'm giving you my email now. If you want to email her with your thoughts on your relationship, email her at this.

Send me your email. Good luck with the baby. Enjoy every crazy second. It's the best thing in the whole world. Thank you so much. We're so excited and I hope you guys have the best day ever. Thank you so much Saman then give our love to Jacob.

We'll do, thank you. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my gosh. Hit it. Hit it. It's our favourite segment on the show, isn't it? Good for us because you do all the hard work

and then we bask in your glory. We've done a few group attempts lately and they have been fun. But I think this week we go back to the solo Mish. Okay. Where one of us, and usually it is me that attempts to do

hit the spot. Here's my idea. Over the next few days, we do an audition process where we all try out to see who is the best person to on Thursday attempt the biggest song in the world. Ray, where the hell is my husband? This part in particular. This guy.

Let me, help me, help me. Here's to hit the spot. Tell me. Oh, my God. Baby. So I would tell me. I was like, I thought she said baby. How devastated would you be if you hit the spot

but said the wrong word? Yeah, would it still be hit the spot though. No. Okay, so all of us are going to practice, and then maybe we will do an audition and what are the listeners going to decide who was strongest? Yeah, so the first, I think, process is we maybe tomorrow. Uh-huh.

We attempt to see if we can at least nail the rap. Okay. Without hitting the spot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're hitting the spot out of it. Yeah. Okay. So tomorrow during the show, we each have an attempt.

Yeah. Because if you can't even get through the rap, word perfect. Yeah. Then you've got no chance. Yeah, exactly. Then we kind of like, you're setting up to fail. Then that, this is like the selection for the Olympics. We pick our athlete, you know?

And then that person goes forward to Thursday. They get a day's grace where they can practice. Then on Thursday, they attempt. Very fast. Hit the spot. The hardest bit is where it's like, um, They're like a wave around and talk and talk about it And when the day would come, forgive me Lord, if I could ever doubt it

It's really hard Forgive me Lord that I would ever Oh my gosh, how does she do it? I don't actually know what she's saying So I'm going to have to Google the lyrics, I think If you go on Spotify, when you play it out It has the lyrics as it plays And you can just follow along

Someone's already said, can I be the judge? I mean, we are going to need judges Whether that's a group of judges, listeners that go... It should be the listeners, yeah Like one or two at least. I think it's going to be glaringly obvious though I think it's true.

I reckon all of us by Thursday are going to have a pretty well nailed. Tip of the teeth, top of the tongue, all that red leather, yellow leather. Get the tongue moving quickly. So get practising, guys, because tomorrow we're going to attempt the song, not to hit the spot,

just to see if we can remember the lyrics, get through the rap. So whoever can flawlessly get through the rap, word for word, and just absolutely vibe with Ray, we're going to put up to attempt at the spot Thursday. Yeah. Simple as that, guys. Done.

God, I love this song. It's the hardest one, eh? It's the hardest one we've done. Definitely the hardest one I've ever done. And I reckon that song's going to win a Grammy. I think it's, she's... It's just so different, eh? There's nothing out there like it.

Clint, Meg and Dan. Last week on the show, guys were talking about running to the airport to confess your love. I love it. The famous airport confession, the end of many rom-coms and novels and books and movies. I guess it's about the they use the airport as like a thing where it's the last minute, right? Where someone's going away.

The metaphor, probably of them like flying out of your life forever. Totally. And in reality, like you could just fly there and see them. And so I made the very common and well-known quote fell off the jetway again.

Well, no one's ever. You are obsessed with Dumb and Dumber in a youth. It's your blind spot. And me and you guys went, and I was like, you are one pathetic loser, no offense. I was like, Duma Dumber. And you're like, no. And I said Dumb and Dumber, the Jetway

scene, is controversially somewhere in the top five. It's definitely not number one. No. I take your Dumb and Dumber scene. Let's say it on one, the movie that we're thinking of that has the most famous airport scene. Right, one, two, three. Love actually. Whenever I get bloomy with the state of the world,

I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around. All around. I mean, that isn't the actual scene, though, is it? We're talking about the end. Well, it does start and end with the airport scene,

but the scene is when the little girl runs. Does anyone fall off the jetway? No, but he runs through security and jumps through the security thing and goes all the way to the gate. Excuse me! Coming through! Looks how fast Jim's running.

Roller Lilloo! Hold that plane! It's okay. I'm a limbo driver. It's okay. I wouldn't. I'm a little driver! Wow, wow, wow, Clint, wow.

Yeah. I'd be very surprised that many people remember that scene, to be honestly, lone dumb and dumber. Yeah, but everyone would think of love actually strad away. That's number one. I think there's no dispute that love actually is number one. What about Ross and Rachel? Rachel?

What, Ross? You're scaring me, what's going on? Don't go. What? Please, please stay with me. I am so in love with you. Please don't go. It's a good scene.

Oh, I got it. off the plane. Haley's just texted through and said it's got to be Rachel and Ross. I mean, it's good, and it is iconic, but I don't think it beats the love actually scene. Okay, well, what about? Because we're still going to put together a top five

and then Chuck and a minorota. What about? Kevin's not here. Kevin's not here. Kevin's not here. Kevin's not here. Kevin's not here. What?

Come on. It's iconic. It's so. Oh, I kind of, I would almost put that on number two. Yes, same. I reckon it goes love, actually. Yes. Home alone, friends.

Friends, and then Dumb and Dumber can be anywhere. Dumb and Dumber's four, that's all right. Well, what's the other one? Yeah, because we need another one. There's a spare spot for your suggestions, and also if you don't agree with necessarily the order of that, when it comes to airport terminal scenes and, like, running to the gate. Yes.

There's a lot of them. And maybe it could be in a TV show, maybe it is a movie. There's plenty of them out there. We'll even take if they were added. airport and there was a kissing scene. Doesn't necessarily have to be a chase. I don't think we'd take the terminal with Tom Hanks. He just lives at the airport. Yeah, that's all terminal

and there's not much like love and romance. Yeah, but if it pushes Dumb and Dumber to number five, I'll take it. Yeah, please. Please give us something. He falls off the Jeeway. It's so dumb. And Duma. All right. Controversial top five this morning

is movies with a scene where they run through the terminal to get to the gate to confess their love. Is that where we're going? Do they have to confess their love? Or does it just have to be of fun? I mean, I guess that's normally why they're running to the gate.

Yeah, but not at, I mean, the home alone one's not a love one. True, that's true. It's just more the chaos and the heightened emotions of an airport. Yeah. So far, we've obviously got love actually at number one. We had the kid at the end runs to confess his love to his high school crush. Home Alone, the second one, where Kevin ends up getting left behind. And the mum goes, come on a different plane.

And then friends, obviously, I got on the plane. Dumb and Dumb and dumber when obviously Mary forgets her briefcase and leaves it in his limo and he has to run it back and falls off the jetway. Famously. I would say we forgot the most famous of all, but maybe not for this generation. That's Casablanca at the end. They're on the tarmac. It's raining. And he says, here's looking at you, a kid.

It's a beautiful film. Other people sending in Adam Sandler, the wedding singer. That's a big one. Do you want to sing the song? I'll give you medicine when your tummy aches. Build you a fire with the furnace breaks. So it could be so nice. Going old with you.

I was like, it's in my head somewhere. Yeah, when it gets Billy Idol on the plane and they sing to Drew Barrymore. That's right. And then two texts come through for the summer I turned pretty. Yeah, so, yeah, Bella. It's not really a confession of love though because they just see it or she sees her. But there's no exchange. Another Jim Carrey, liar, liar.

You're right. He actually gets on the stairs, the skis. Of course. And he drives him alongside the plane. And he comes in the window. Yet he's trying to yell to his kid. Yes. Another good one.

Let's put that in at number five. Laura is called through on 0800 the edge. Laura, which film have we forgotten? It's got to be cruel intentions. When we're going up the elevator. And then they got married after that, which extra points. And what's the song that plays Laura? Can you remember?

Oh, I have no idea. I can't remember what the song is, but it's that, like, piano. I remember it. It's the Counting Crows Colorblind. It's like, I am ready. I am ready. And it's so, since you come,

they see each and they kiss. Oh, God, great suggestion from you, Laura. Your singing has just been on point this morning, Ash. That's why I did this whole segment, just so I could sing all my favorites. Aren't we lucky, Clint? Yeah, I must say, that is, I reckon that bumps

dumb and dumber down to five for cool intention so that goes in at four So we're really Dumb and double We're capped off unless someone can suggest some other big ones Emma you're suggesting modern family

That's Cam and Mitch right When they confess their love Yes Yes it is I don't remember that Yeah modern family A great TV show One of those shows that's real easy to watch

Yeah but I wouldn't Emma I can't get I can't put it in the top five Unfortunately Yeah Yeah sorry because then it would have to bump dumb and dumb and dumb This is the song from cruel intentions.

Oh my gosh. Okay, so I think we've got a top five, don't we? Wait, so Laya Laya doesn't make the top five? That's a big terminal. Like, he goes beyond the terminal and goes and takes the stairs. I'll put Laya Laya instead of Duma Duma happily. We only have one. Choose you, Jim Carrey.

What's it going to be? Okay, I think Laya Laya has to make the top five. Oh, he's bummed his dream. I respect it. Okay, the definitive list. At number one, love actually. Number two, friends. Number three, Home Alone 2.

Number four, this one, cruel intentions. And number five, Jim Carrey on the moving stairwell and lie a liar. The pen that I hold in my hand is real, right, oh, blue. The goddamn pit is blue. Again, it's another niche reference clip. Oh, everyone knows lie a liar. Please watch some movies from like at least the last 10. 10 years would be nice.

Jim Carrey, A-lister, all day, baby. What happened to him? What did he mean what happened to him? What's he doing now? Sonic did he jog and stuff. Is he? Yeah, Strzondon makes him money. He said he ran out, so he started doing Sonic.

He was very honest about he needed money. Like the voice of Sonic? No, he's the badie in it. Yeah, he's the badie. Like the movies or the game? Yeah, the movie. The fact that you have... One, two and three.

I don't have a child old enough to know that. Holy shit! You made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edgebreak see you tomorrow and then if that's not enough check out our only fans podcast that is
