This is a podcast from Rover. Not your mum's podcast, unless she's into absolute filth, in which case, respect. This is Clint Megan Dan's only fans. Podcast, that is. Beid Breaky. Clint Megan Dan with Ashlander hits harder in Auckland. Good morning, bang on 6 o'clock Tuesday. Welcome to the show.

Good to see you, good to hear. Dan made a good point. If you knock off on the, what is it, the 19th of December? Yeah, which a lot of people do because they don't want to work those like three days Yeah, we're doing. Well, now that we've got rid of yesterday, what is there, four more Mondays or something?

Four more full weeks. Praise the Lord in heaven. Yeah. I mean, when you say that, though, it's still a month. Seems like a while, oh no. Seems like you're like, oh, tell me when it's two weeks to go. That's when I'll be excited. We just realised that our kindies open,

buddy's kindies open through Christmas. Oh, brilliant. Apart from Christmas Day. Send them in. So we're sending you, man. We're just going to sit at home naked. Send him in. She's going to walk around, eat chocolate.

Oh, you don't need to send your kids to candy for that. The Randalls used to just all walk around nude. I mean, not for fun, just for convenience. I always get weird when I'm nude around buddy, and I wonder if I'm giving him a bad, like, idea of bodies or whatever. When my wife and I first got together, I was a little bit self-conscious of my body, and we had a week of nudity in my house.

That's nice. And it completely cured me of it. Oh, that's so good. What, when you were 16? No, when my wife started, brilliant, play. When my wife and I started going out She was like, just be nude in the house And I did

Wait, wait, you wouldn't even get nude around your wife No, I would, but I was just very self-conscious When it's a new person And so she was just like, just be nude And I was like, okay, it's cured it like that In a week I should tell my wife I'm self-conscious There you go, give it a go

Yeah, she'll want to be nude And then I'll be like Oh, this will work for damn, maybe we should do it But I feel like it might take me like three months Yeah, and also you've got kids now We didn't have kids back then Oh, yeah, no. I'll just work on it between the hours of like 1pm and 3 p.m. Yeah, there you go.

You're welcome. Better living, everyone. Thank you, Daniel. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. And time to jump into our 6-am throwback. Us versus the playlist. All-American rejects currently sitting in.

Playlist, ready to play? I do like that. It's not a bad. Bop. Can I take that, though, Clinton suggest another one? Wait, wait, wait, wait. Should we let him suggest another one? Should we let him do it?

I reckon you'll like it. Oh, that's up to you. Yeah, no, go for it, darling. Okay. Wow, Danny DeVito, remember him? He's an actor. He's 80. He's a guy in the One Direction video

of the best song ever from back in 2013. Yeah, wow. Funny you say that. That's the song I'm pitching. He's 81 today, Danny DeVito. 81. He's married to the short lady with curly hair from cheese. That's funny actor.

Oh, yeah, what's her name? Is it Rita someone? Not Rita Rora. Oh God, now you're going to... If you had to... Of all the movies that Danny DeVito has done, which is the first one that comes to mine. Big, no, the one movie.

Twins? Twins. Same. Alice Schwarzenegger. Rea Perlman. It's so stink. Imagine playing the character because the premise of twins,

if you don't know Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito are twins, but Arnold Schwarzenegger gets all the good stuff when obviously... Danny? Yeah, they're being created and stuff. like in the womb, and he gets all the strength and the good looks, whatever,

and Danny DeVito gets all what's left. Imagine being that guy. He's also in Matilda. He plays the dad in the original Matilda. Oh, yeah, he's great in that. He's in Jumanji. He's in the Grandad. He plays the Penguin and the Batman.

Oh, yeah, he was really scary. I never saw that, but I heard it was like award winning. He's very good. Very good in that. Bridges Carl. I think his finest role was when he was the stripper and friends at the birthday party. He was so good. He's got a crew.

Is it Rachel's birthday or something? Or is it, yeah, someone's birthday turns up to, eh? He's 1.5 metres tall. Yeah. 152 centimetres. Very short. He definitely seems like one of those guys that doesn't take himself too seriously at all.

Now that we've kind of gone through a couple of things that he's agreed to. And then, of course, he agreed to do the One Direction song, Best Song Ever. Okay. He plays the director of the video clip in that, doesn't it? So is he going to be Best Song Ever or a dirty little secret? Best Song Ever, please.

Best Song Ever? Good job, Daniel Webby. Yeah, it's a good song. Yeah, to be a shame to do all that chat and then... Yeah, and they're playing All-American Rejects. Yeah. Dedicate this to you, Danny DeVito, listening, as always, on the Rover app. Yeah, he loves it.

Eighty-one. That's a good earnings. It's an easy app to use of Danny DeVito and 81-year-old can use it. The Clint McG and Dan Podcast. One Direction, best song ever, Danny DeVito's birthday today. He's 81, so... He was in the music video for you. Yeah.

He was saying going, what's the relevance? I thought it would be nice to give a little, I mean, any excuse to play a little 1D, I suppose, hey? What's that 12 years old? That's insane. Isn't that incredible? It doesn't seem that long ago. I thought you meant that you could do the maths.

Yeah. Well, it is incredible that I even did that, Clint. I was second guessing myself as soon as I did. 25 minus 13, good job. Yeah. A little coffee catch-up, see what's been going on in each other's lives. Dan went to the second movie premiere of Wicked. I'm sorry lucky.

I thought that as I was sitting down, like little 15 year old Dan that was like obsessed with musical theatre to know that one day I'll be invited to the two premieres of Wicked What a joy. Did you pick up on more stuff the second time around?

It was really, I enjoyed it more last time this time. Only because I think yeah, I mean there's no review so I can't say. Oh can you now? Is it like? I know you're in a bargain. Not till tomorrow. Oh why? Why would they? It's release day. Release days Thursday. Usually they do that if it It's a bad film, but obviously we know it's a phenomenal film.

No, don't say that. We're spending all this money. You think they, if they're going to have previews, they want people to talk and get the hype going for Thursday. I don't sign anything. They said we can say it on our socials. It looks like Adam's sad. Yeah, I didn't sign anything saying that I wouldn't talk about it.

It's like I'm not talking about it. We've moved on. And the cue, though, to get it. to the premiere. You can't review the queue. We've been invited to a lot of premieres, obviously, in our job. Thanks, Carl. It was the longest. It almost did a figure eight downstairs.

Anyone who was going to the movies, just to see a movie on a quiet Monday, was probably out, what the hell is this? And trying to excuse me and get through all the cues. It was ridiculous. I've got no comments on the queue or the movie. I have to give a special apology. He'll be asleep now.

But apologies to my best friend, Damaris. I was too hung over to go with it last night. It was three days after we went out drinking again. Two days. Wow. And you know what? Because I got this aura ring. Yeah.

And it shows you like, and like, oh my God. My heart rate has been like through the roof. And my app's like, what? Are you sick? It's asking me if I'm sick. Yeah. And I had to tag alcohol. It's like, oh, it's the alcohol.

It's like, Ash, you are an alcoholic. Stop drinking. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Go and see the movie. That's all I say. Make your mind. Make your mind up for yourself.

If you like that. sort of thing. Don't go if you don't like musical. Yeah, Dan said there was less singing in the second one. I don't know. It was definitely less singing. I don't know. Every time they'd bust into a song, I'd like, that's another one. And then it'd be another one.

I was like, Dan said there was less singing. I thought it was about the same amount. No, I promise you it's not. Yeah, it was like, do half songs though. They just like sing certain parts and it wouldn't really get going into a full-blown song. I was like, that still counts for me. And that'd reference a song from the first, I'll do the little stanza of another one. Yeah, and I was like, that counts.

That's still a song. Yeah. Very good, though. Oh, I can't say it. Oh, I'm so annoyed. I'm so away from. You're out on Thursday. In fact, if you are, I was going to say if you're in Auckland,

Silkiota's doing a preview tomorrow before it comes out Thursday, and they're doing canopays and drinks. Shut up. Yeah. Even though we had drinks to give away. Tomorrow night. Tickets to give away. Yeah.

Silkiota and also Parmi and Queenstown and Christchurch. So we've got heaps to give away. But the one in Auckland, you'll get to see it before. anyone else so you give us a call we'll give you tickets simple as that just give it just you'd be like hey babes we'll be like here you go babe a magical night with canopays a bottomless bar and more bottomless bar silky-odra ponzo me don't make the same as I got it on Saturday night she'll see you there thank you ladies Clint megan dan let's go here we go who's gonna be

first call of the day first call of the day wow it's the first time he's listening to the show live in Wellington Daniel morning. Morning, Dan. Good morning, team. How are we? Good, mate. So you're a podcaster?

Yeah, I'm an avid podcasting. As in you make podcasts or you listen to our podcast? It's really only you guys, have to be honest. That's my man, come on. And what makes it, why can't you listen live? What are you doing usually? So I work in a restaurant, so usually the hours aren't too friendly for 6 a.m. Yes.

Give you a restaurant a shout out, brother. Today, I've got a course up at Auckland. Just, I know, shout out to the team at Thistle Lynn in Wellington. Come on, good on you. What's the course you're doing up in Auckland? It's a leadership course. Oh, sick. Good on you.

With Zach Silver, yeah. Good on you, darling. You know what, you sound like a leader. I'd follow you anywhere, Dan. Yeah, not into war, but like maybe if he said, you know, let's go eat over there. I'd say, okay. Is it weird, Dan, like, hearing us talk about songs that are playing and that we're going into? Because normally, I guess, in a podcast, it would just jump into the music.

Next bat. Yeah, pretty much. Like, even when you were talking about the throwbacks. And then, yeah, just hearing an actual songplay, like, oh, that was actually weird, not just moving on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know there's a watch brand called Daniel Wellington? It's there. Yes.

Is it? Yeah, the DW. I know the one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So on our screen and write out as his, Daniel Wellington. I'm like, I know that. Christmas gift. Yeah.

What do you want for Christmas, Daniel, in case Santa's listening? Um, cash. Yeah, come on. Loads of it. Cache. This old truckload in my fireplace. Yeah, exactly. Thanks, Sam.

There's nothing better than getting a card from your grandma or something, A, and you open, you can feel the wad in there and you open it, it all falls out. Do you guys still get grandparent money? My grandparents are all dead. So am I. But Adrian gets it from his family. Yeah, same. Yeah.

Yeah. That must be nice that he's still got his grandfather. Yeah. And because when, I think I've said this before, when I came along, It was one bridge too far for old mate Popper to remember my name So now the Christmas card says to Adrian and friend It's so cute

Do you know what's embarrassing? It's embarrassing is that first moment When you realise like you're opening the card And you're pinching it a little bit harder So the money doesn't fall out You open up and you realise you're at that age Where you don't get cash anymore And you're like, oh it's just a card

You open it really carefully And there's nothing in it Oh God And then you have to try and act like You didn't think there was anything in it anyway Thanks, Dad. Good. Oh, got on you, Daniel.

Thanks for listening. Yeah, do you listen to the show Recap and the Only Fans podcast, or just one or the other? All of it. Yeah, all of it. Mate, we love you. You're an MVP. How long have you been listening, Dan?

I got introduced with Clint's mum feeling him up. Oh, yes. So how long? That was a couple of years ago now. Oh, God, I don't even know when there was. I blank that from my mind. That's a weird thing to feed into your algorithm just randomly. I had nothing to do with that.

I didn't even know you guys existed. Dan's like, this is a show I could get into, actually. He's a lot about you too, bro. Are we going to send you a voucher to go spend an store at Zed when you get a chance? Dan, thanks for listening, bro. I really appreciate your podcasting the show. Not a problem. Have a good show, team.

Yeah, legend. See ya, mate. Chill vibes at Zed with your new range of Burista made chill drinks as well. Get amongst them. Never met a bad Dan. Never. I dated a Dan. Uh-oh.

No, he was lovely. Oh, good. I'm pretty sure he's a homosexual now. Oh, really? Because I've got a friend to know. I've got a friend called Dan and I'm a little like... I'm wondering, I wonder sometimes I'm if he might be homosexual. Anyway, you guys...

Yeah, yeah, he's pretty cool. I like him. I know, that guy's got a massive shlong too. Yes, I heard that too. No, actually, we might be thinking about a different Dan. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Scandal. It's a scandal.

Quite a scandal. Scandal with Ash London. How do you guys feel about live action remakes, like cartoons, but then they make them with real people? Don't mind them. Love. Yeah, I actually really like them. The lust. Did you see The Little Mermaid?

Yep, I love that one. Oh, good. And what was the other one that they... Aladdin? They did that way, even though. Did they? Yeah, with Will Smith. Will Smith?

He was the genie. Yeah. Are you sure? Yeah. It was like only three or four years ago. Maybe I've never seen a live action remake now that I think about it. Are you thinking live action? No, another one was the most reason one was how to train your dragon.

Yeah, that wasn't as good. I was a bit disappointed by that one. Yeah, I mean, and they obviously still got to put in the fake dragons and stuff. Yeah, of course. I get a real dragon. I think the dragon was too comical in that. You know, like everything was so real, but then they kept the dragon quite...

I reckon that movie would have slapped if we didn't know the story already and hadn't already had the cartoon version. Yeah. But obviously, I was watching going, I know what happens here. I know what happens here. I've never seen how to train your dragon. Then you should start with the live action remake,

because I thought they did a really good job. What's the premise of how to train your dragon? It's about a guy that trains a dragon. It's sort of a how-to guide. I mean, that's now... No, it's a bunch of like... Vikings, and they normally attack and try to kill the dragons. And then

Hickup is this one guy who realizes that the dragons, if you actually took some time to get to know them, are actually really lovely creatures. And they don't need to be at war with them the whole time. That's more of a complicated... Yeah. I like both of your explanations. And then he tries to convince his dad to not kill them all. That's cool. So the new live action

remake coming at is Moana. Megway! Megui! Oh, makes sense. Of course, Maui will be played once again by Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Yeah. What a slap in the face if it wasn't?

Imagine not, but he is Maui. Yeah. Like, he embodies him in every way. So he has posted the first kind of teaser trailer, which is mostly music, but if you know the Moana Soundtrip, which most parents will, you can hear that it's same, same,

but different. I'm a girl who loves my island. And the girl who loves the same. It calls me Isn't that beautiful? Oh, I love it already I'm so excited I just hope they haven't wrecked the Moana Buzz

with the second movie When they brought in Moana 2? I love Moana 2. I have no interest in seeing it now. No, it doesn't. The trailer looked like they just copied the same premise of the first one. She's back out on the water.

story. Exactly. And I was like, oh, it's all about connection because really, there's a lot of people on that island. If they're not getting out there and meeting other islands, their kids are going to start to be born with two heads. Yeah. You know what, though? Moana and Frozen are my wife Hannah's

favorite two movies. Yes, she's seven. But I mean, honestly, she loves it. Like, Moana, I've seen it probably about 20 times because she watches it every second weekend. But only the first one. Yeah, never the second. I know. The second one, give it a chance. I love Moana when she finally makes it out onto the reef. Oh my gosh.

That song that Alessia Cara did for that movie is such an incredible song. It's such a great song. What happened to Alyssa Cara? Yeah, I don't know. I thought she was back maybe when the Moana movies came out and then. Moana. How do the Spice Girls tie into all this? Hey.

I'm like, where does... I said maybe it's about the Spice Girls. I didn't say definitely about the Spice Girls. I was like, maybe they do a song at the end. What didn't that be? If you want to be my lover. Yeah. They just come out.

Mel B's playing Moana. That's the tire. Is it one of those things? Oh, they go, by the way, it's going to be out in 2027. No, it's October of this year. What? The live remake? Yes.

October of next year? This year. Oh, sorry, next year. In my mind. It's already out. No, they're about a year. Well, that's actually sooner that I would have thought, though. 11 months.

It's like, you know how fast 11 months goes these days? Clint. Megan Dan Stinky bitch It's time to get naughty at 640 Oh I was driving yesterday My daughter's in the back seat

and she must just pay attention to everything that's being said and everything is happening outside of the car because she saw an ad outside an adult toy store and it's like one of those like wands that massages on the end Yeah, yeah

Like a bulb on the end Yeah and the ad says It's for my neck I swear. And then my daughter goes, what's that thing for it? Wow. And I go, oh, it's a massage thing for a neck.

And then my daughter, who's 10, goes. Yeah, so then what's she being like, oh, I swear it's for my neck. Oh, she's smart. And I go, oh, I know, it's for her neck. And she goes, obviously not, because she's trying to say, it's for my neck, I swear, because it's obviously for something.

and she's trying to cover it up. She's so rough. She's good. I don't want to lie to my daughter because I don't want her lying to me. We have this thing. We're like, we don't lie to lie about this. That's not a lie. I just leaned into the ad being like, I don't know. It says it's for her neck, I swear.

So it's for her neck. And then she's like, no, but she wouldn't need to swear it's for her neck. She's so smart. Oh, gosh. I reckon Cam knows, but she's just trying to get put back dad into a corner. Maybe you could have been like, okay, well, it's a, it's a, foot massager, but she's embarrassed about her ugly feet, so she tells

everyone it's for her neck. That would have been good. Or you could just go like... Or throw a butt because she's going to sore butt from like the gym. Just like Dad gets sore glutes. She doesn't want to say she's got a butt massager, so she says it's for her neck. Just say it's one of those massages that can reach hard to reach places. You know, like it can go anywhere. That's all I'd say.

What did you say? I just doubled and then triple down on the neck thing. And she was like, but then the ad makes no sense. I was like, yeah, somebody has it done, but. And then you're like, Are we all excited for Wicked? You can have two ice creams. If you shut up.

My daughter looks at me. She goes, whoa, it's kind of looked at her. Like, what are you doing? We don't, like, do we need to? No, and she's too young. How long was this light facing? Oh, right? I'm serious.

I know this all he means is a big-ass shop. It's on a corner. And there's so many big ads. And if you get stuck at those lights and Newmarket, you're there for, you know, a couple minutes. If I was you, Clint, if your daughter's ever in the car, I'd avoid that area. Because she sounds too smart.

And my daughter is also like, so it's a big ad, and next to it are two other big ads. And the other one says, womanizer, the original Next Orgasms Evolved. Oh my God. And the one on the other side is like a Sink O effortless connection, and it's got some chick leaning

all over some shirtless dude kissing him and stuff. I do, I'm not approved, but I do feel like, you know, we need to be a bit more careful with those big ass ads at intersections where kids, cams age. yes we don't want to be like hiding our sexuality but they don't need to know about that stuff and how old is she? 10. 10 is too young

He's got adult toys, laundres and costumes so you get all that stuff along the top so I think she was like putting two and two together and being like where do you put the wand if it's not going on your neck? Because it's for my neck I swear it's fine, it's a little clever it'll go over kids' heads

but maybe coupled alongside other things you're getting 10 year olds going nah something ain't adding up she's putting that wand somewhere else and pretending it's for her neck she's smart Maybe but it was good because it's not really lying, is it?

You could have a glute massage end. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you don't want to get older though I'm thinking that's where that goes. She'll figure it out. She'll figure it out. She'll figure it out. I'm sure someone will...

What did you have to explain to a child where you got caught out? Maybe it wasn't even your kid and they asked your question and you're like, uh-oh, I gave them the truth and I shouldn't have because I didn't check with mum and dad. Because kids, I mean, even buddy at the moment, he'd be asking about kids and where they're coming from,

surely at four. Yeah, he did. He wants to know how the baby gets in mummy's tummy. You notice how it gets out, the doctor cuts it out. My mum... He doesn't know about the traditional method. My mum loves telling the story of how she found me with one of her toys and I was using it as a rocket, space rocket.

Oh, they do look like rocket. Yeah, buddy's picked mine up before. Yeah. You know, Grant, didn't you? You wouldn't know him? He's a very famous Australian TV host. He tells a story about how his daughter, Sailor, came out with a vibrator. She was putting it against her teeth going,

Look, Daddy, it vibrates. And her and him and Josie were like, Ugh. Disgusting. Oh, that poor girl, you'd never tell her about that. Not even at the 21st, you'd go. Just take this to our brave. Sal is not listening on the rover app.

Yeah. Okay, 3-3-40-0-800. What did you have to explain to a child? Whether it's yours or not, but you just found yourself going, oh, do I go truth here? Or maybe you came up with a really clever lie. And they bought it.

Kids have a lot of questions as they get older. My daughter is 10. She wanted to know why an ad for an adult toy store was funny when it said at the top, it's for my neck, I swear. Yeah, my best friend's got a three-year-old and a six-year-old, or four-year-old and a six-year-old, and she's told them that when they wanted to know how babies were made, desperate to know.

And she said, well, Daddy gives Mommy a seed, and then the seed goes into mummy's tummy and the baby grows. And the kids accepted that, but now they're desperate for another kid and they keep saying, Give it to her, Daddy. Come on, just give it to her. Come on, you pussy.

Daddy's like, yeah, yeah, mum. Be a man. Come on, just take the seat. What's wrong? Everybody has one. Are you not mad enough to give it to her? Oh, bless. Someone Tick saying that, I'd explain to my five-year-old.

The moon doesn't actually follow us. He's starting to get really scared that it kept following us at night all the time. The moon's a scary place when you're a kid. Oh, but it's so much, our buddy's deep in the phase of, like, starting to really question things like that. And then it makes you think about it and you're like, well, actually, that is scary. Like, a couple of nights ago, is it, Mommy, why does it have to get dark? And I'm like, oh. Oh, God.

I don't even know. Moon, sun, around the earth. I don't know the answer, obviously. Would you scale? I have this distinct memory of my parents went to a midwinter Christmas party, and I would have been around 10 at the time. And it was at my aunt's house. My uncle's a plumber, he owns a plumbing company. And they came back from this midwinter Christmas party,

and sitting on the window sill in the kitchen, was in a clear packet, a glow-in-the-dark condom, which I now realised that's what it was. And I picked it up, and I was like, what's this? And I was, like, fascinated with it. I was like, what's this? And my mum was just, oh, it's just a, uh, uh, um, stumbling, stumbling. It's just like a plumbing thing for fixing a tap.

We were at Uncle Rob's last night. Oh, that was a good thing on her feet. Real good. Mrs Thompson. Because the problem is, I would have gone balloon, but then they want to blow it up. Yes. And then they want more of them and, yeah.

You feel weird when your kid's blowing up a condom. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of thinking on your feet I can understand as a parent. That is parenting. Yeah. I'm trying to come up with stuff while they're standing. They're looking at you, going, mum, mom, mom.

Morning, Bex. Hello. How are you? Good. What do you have to explain to a child? Well, we actually had a stranger come over and breed his dog. So he had a female dog. We had a male dog.

And we were talking. I'd known it for about an hour. My son comes running down the hall with a vibrator with it on and goes, look at my wiggly worm, look at my wiggly worm. And I tried to tell him it was a back massager trying to hide it from this guy. Oh my gosh. And my son just wouldn't let it go. What are the chances of a guy breeding his dog at the same time?

Yes. Your son finds that. Yeah, they're also two separate stories that could have worked for this. Wow. That must be an awkward situation sitting around while you wait for your dog to mate. Nightmare. It was so awkward. Do you watchbacks to make sure they make correctly or do they just give them privacy?

No, we had to watch them and made sure they did it. It was very awkward. Did you look away when they started doing it? Yeah, when the red rocker comes out, you know, avert your eyes. The lipstick? Yeah, that was pretty awkward. We had to make sure that they stuck together. Oh, God, do you play like sexy music for them?

Down the lights. Who let the dogs out by the Bahamas? Oh, that was good for me. Oh, that was good for me. You're trying that quickly. I'll stand by. You don't know when you want some Bahamas.

Hey, Bex, we're going to send you along to... Dad will be thrusting it at me again. That's not my best. We need to enter this into the radio awards with the quickest bit of audio found. Well done.

You got four and you passed four So you got through eight And I imagine if I had to guess Oliver's Commando today Because I would have got Undies or underwear Didn't come to mind You wearing any

Completely blank Completely blank Down there because you can slowly hear yourself lose faith when you came to that third pass. Something you can open an umbrella. But you guess you'd already used it. I know, yeah, so I thought.

And then a movie I'd already given you the answer when I said, ah. That's true. Oh, we had a lot of faith in your Ollie. That faith was unfortunately unwarranted, but thank you for cool. We appreciate you listening and playing, brother. Awesome, thanks guys.

Cheers, mate. Yeah, back again at 8 o'clock, your chance to play again. Thanks to Novice Glass, proud partner of the Special Olympics NZ. Clint, Megan Dan. Not all of us. We're lucky enough to win our share of 55 million over the weekend.

In fact, only three. They were more deserving people and that's okay. Someone in Auckland, Crush, and Kawarro, who we called yesterday, just to get a bit of a sense of the buzz there because there's only 7 or 8,000 people in Kawato. And I've been thinking about that mince and cheese pie that our boys had was in the lake house.

Just thinking about the ear we called in the bakery there. The baker's, incredible mince cheese pies. Yep. So Dan has a list of the five best side hustles If you are looking for a little bit extra cash And you don't think Lotto is going to be able to save the day for you Very prevalent as well at the moment side hustle Sometimes you just need some sort of side hustle to get ahead in life

You know, you maybe work a full-time job that pays an average wage To get ahead, side hustles are the perfect thing Because he lives, sometimes you need a bit more And some of them are more obvious than others And then some of them you're just like, why didn't I think of that? The first one, this is number five on the list renting a spare room in your house. Now, that might sound obvious,

but it says you can do it even if you're renting a property. Maybe you're in a... If you're allowed to sublet. Yeah, you can, yeah. And sometimes, you know, landlords don't let you. But it says that you can make $40,000 a year subletting a room in your house. You pay a lot of rent on one room

to be paying $40,000 for a room. So you can live with someone. Up to, it says. It's $800 a week. Drop shipping is another very popular site. hustle and this has been around for like five or ten years if you don't know what drop shipping is it's like an e-commerce commerce model where you can uh you don't actually stock any of the products you're selling so you're buying them from a third party but you're marketing them

you're putting them into like uh instagram ads and stuff like that and you're making a massive profit on those items making a shitty product look good and shafting people into paying more for it like you with your nationally yeah i mean it don't have to be a crappy product but you make it look good you got to get on that bandwagon like well not even the bad way you've got to get on the buzz when it's like early and everyone wants this new thing

otherwise with the time I think you go sort it all out and organise it all everyone's gone off the boil and you're like oh now you're well I suppose you're not stuck with all the product yeah but if you're a good drop shipper

you move from product to product so you get a hype on a product that's out and then you slowly that peters out then you're on to your next one what's the product all the girls talking about at the moment that they all want they're like oh my god

I need to buy one of those I don't know I guess dupe makeups you can get a lot of them from like cheap online and then resell them. Yeah, but they're full of crap. You've got to be so careful about what you're putting on your face. And that's the art of drop shipping though. Yeah, it's true. You just buy crap and sell it as good stuff.

But I hate that the world's dying, land. Anyway, sorry. Number three on the list. This can be very lucrative, but it also can be just a little bit of extra money here and there. It just depends how much work you put into it. Signing up for online surveys. So apparently in New Zealand, there's lots of websites or things you can go on where they pay you to give information. And just a little bit of Googling,

apparently you can find stuff that gives you anything from $20 a survey to $150. And if you're doing multiple. You can design some AI bot that just doesn't all for you while you just reap the cash? Also, can the companies just knock it on the head with the bloody like how did we do? How do we do after any tiny interaction

that you have with anyone? They go, hey, how do we do an unknown man. It's like an annoying boyfriend seeking way too much validation. Shut up. Oh my God, yes. It's like, go away. I can't unsubscribe to you fast enough. And if you've got a little, like, talent that you're good at,

maybe it's logo design, maybe it's really good at spreadsheeting, you can list your services on Fiverr if you've never heard of that. It's a great website where you can basically just put any talent on there. Maybe you're a painter. You can paint people's dogs, and they come on there and use your services. You want to make sure that it's like toxic free or whatever. No, no, no, you're painting a picture of their dog. Yeah, come on, Clint.

The first thing I did think of was someone just... You could paint dogs as well. I'm painting dogs. What's the number one, my darling? Number one, and this has come up from number three last year, social media influencing. You need to stop. Yeah, social media influencing. This person says if you put an hour a day into pushing your social media, the niche are the better and doing a video per day.

Within six months, we have enough of that on the internet. It's a saturated market. Yeah, but you can be making money. It's either there or rent out a spare room in your house and live with a stranger. What about selling some feet picks? I think I'm at that point in my life. That wasn't on the list. I thought it would be.

I'd love to speak to someone that's selling their feet picks. I do have a bit of tenier at the moment, though. I wonder if there's like a niche for, like, tenier. I'm sure there is. I think it's more of a fetish. I'm going to Google that. Yeah. Do you even want to find the person that's into that

and be messaging them back and forth? All right, what's your side hustle? Come to mama. What's the thing you started doing? You're like, I'm actually making us a pretty decent money doing this at the moment. Just on the side. It's not taking up all your time. It's not a 40-hour week thing.

Producer Neeps? Yeah, I made $8 on Spotify. last year. Don't worry about it. And they do say use what you're good at. Use your talent. You know, so look what you do good stuff. You know, maybe you're a musician like Neeps. Maybe you do paint dogs and you're really good at it. Selling your services.

Also, I think if it's really unique and people go, ah, didn't even know anyone did that. You're like, yeah, I do it. And that's why I make money because no one else is doing it. Maybe you've got really bad tinia on your feet. It says you guess there are niche interests within the foot fetish community for conditions like tinia.

Oh! I'm in, baby. I'm out of here, so you. If I don't come to work tomorrow's because I've struck gold with a tinier community. There are a lot of people with side hustles earning a lot of cash doing the thing that isn't there 40 hour week. Yeah, we just want to, just a blanket thing. Don't do things that are illegal guys, you know? No, we're talking about side hustles that are fully legal, above board. Don't try and circumvent the, you know, tax and the government. We can't endorse that. I mean, you do, yeah, live your rest of life. Yeah. There's little tips and tricks you could do. to pay less tax.

We've got to Amy fake name. She wants to remain anonymous with her side hustle. Morning, Amy. Good morning. Good morning. What do you have to? I'm a sugar baby.

Good on you. Get it, girl. Now what's the sugar baby for everyone that doesn't know? Yeah, even though. Dan does. He obviously does. He obviously talking on behalf of everyone else.

So basically, I just find men, older men, with a lot of money who are really love. me and they pay me to go out for dinner with them and like just text them through the day. Is there anything else involved or is it

you just dinners? Oh that's basically it thankfully. That's so good and how much do you get on an average night? So the most I made in a week was two and a half grand. Oh my gosh. And you get free dinner which is what I'd do it for. Where do you find the dudes?

There's a website for New Zealand. I like this because it's like everyone's getting what they need. These men just want a pretty girl to come and have dinner with them and have a chat. You're getting some extra cash. No, but a lot of them, that's honestly all it is. What percentage do you feel are wanting more than the dinner? Or is it just 100% of them just want some conversation? Oh, no, there's definitely some guys who want more,

but it's quite easy to just be like, look. That's not what I'll say. I'm sorry that's not what I'm doing. And you can't respect that, then. Yeah. Do you do another job as well? You don't have to say what it is, but do you do it? Yes, so you do a full-time job, right.

And do you have a partner who knows you're also a sugar baby? No, no. And I stopped when I was in a relationship. Okay. I reckon if I was a bit younger and single, I'd totally do that. How often you're doing Footsie's under the table at dinner? Look, when a girl needs a little bit more. Come on.

When Bill's a tie, I'll do it. God, God forbid. When Clint's like 17, if Jamie passes away before him, he's going to be one of those guys, eh? He will be. It's getting out of you. All right, Emma, we're talking side hustles. What's yours?

Hey, there. I saw scrub hats for surgeons. Love it. Where do you sell them? Like on Etsy or? in real life? No, no. Real life.

I take, oh, Christmas is my biggest time. They all want Christmas, you know, seen scrub hats. We all have to wear the same kind of uniform in theatre. There's a little sideh, well, it's called Ralph in Vienna. Say that again, Ralph and Vienna. Yeah, on Instagram and Facebook. Okay. Beautiful, love that.

And how long does it take you to make a shirt, like a hat? I could probably make one under 15 minutes. Love that's a quick handmaker. And how often are you taking the surgeons out for dinner? Oh, Clinton. Telling to piss off, Emma. Emma's like, at the moment the hat business is great. Are you horny this morning or something?

You must. How long has it been since you? Now, Miranda, I will say this is the most interesting side hustle I've ever heard of. What are you doing with horses? So I am cleaning the male appendage in a horse because they cannot clean it themselves, and there are some. pretty big complications that can come from an unclean friend. What did he say?

Now, my wife is a horse rider, and she does ride the odd male horse, and she's had to be the one that gets down there and cleans the sheath. And I will say, they can get quite dirty. Yeah, and I think it's not just what you can see. It's the bean which can develop at the end of our little friend, which can cause them to buck. It can cause them problems to urinate. So, yeah, it's pretty important to get it checked.

Good on you. So how much are you charging per one? I charge $70, which includes all of my equipment and travel. And how long does it take? Sometimes they can take between 15 minutes and half an hour. That's pretty good for half an hour's work. That's a good bit of work. And the horse is happier and, you know, better off afterwards.

And you know what? You just look at it like it's just another thing, you know? You wouldn't, you're not grossed out by it anymore, would you, Miranda? No, well, I'm a vet nurse, so, you know, I'm sort of used to seeing all of the gory parts of life. Good on you, Miranda, legend. If you're in Waikato, I need your horse bit clean, what you call Miranda. Yeah, she knows her way. That's so good, though.

If you're good at something, make money from it. I love hearing the Edgefano, just like be legends. How often is your wife riding a horse these days? Not as much as she used to. Look at the case, is even, is there a sexual look on his face right now? No, I'm wrong. You need to get laid. I'm sorry that I was trying to take some sort of interest in your wife's hobbies, Daniel.

Ruined by ass. She is right, she does ride quite a bit? No, she. Okay. Sorry, no, I don't understand why this happened. I couldn't keep it together. She's very good at it. He could have gone.

He's winding me up now. He's mine. She could have become quite a professional rider. She's got a stallion at home. No, we could. Keep him at a stunt. All right, we're going to get a scandal update next, and I'll be on my best behaviour for the rest of the morning.

He's very, he loves being ridden, though. Stop it, stop that. Clint McGinn Dan. Scandal. A scandal. Quite a scandal. Scandal with Ash London. Tom Cruise, four nominations for the Academy Awards.

Best actor for Born the 4th of July and Derry McGuire. Best supporting actor for Magnolia and Best Picture. because he was one of the executive producers for Top Gun Maverick. No wins, however. And it's funny because he is as a list as they come and you really would assume that after all these years, old mate Cruze, he's got himself an Oscar.

I think he's more... If there was an Oscar for doing your own stunts, I think he'd probably win, because he's very good at that. All the action star of the year. Yeah, you don't really get a lot of Oscars in action films, do you? No. Because another one who went a long time without an Oscar was Leonardo DiCaprio, right? What did he get it for?

The Reverend? The Reverend? Yeah. And people say he wasn't even that good in the film. It was more of a... It was due a win. It was for everything he'd done. Because it's funny as sometimes an actor

will just like have one great film where it's their first big movie and they just get a win. And then other actors like Tom Cruise and Leo wait forever. Well, he has been honoured with an honorary Academy Award, which look... Oh, that's just one of those ones.

It's like player of the day when someone that hasn't won't... Isn't that better though? Like it's just like all your body of work, you're being recognised individually amongst your peers and I'm sure the award ceremony was brilliant and they spent

all the money probably on the visuals because they definitely didn't spend it on the microphones that picked up his speaking. He said, what I do with his schooling. Never paying one kid I worked every job I could earn the price of admission. You know, when I didn't have enough, you know, I just figured out it a damn other way to get in that.

Not a word. Yeah, he said, make movies isn't what I do, it's who I am and I worked all sorts of jobs. when I was a kid to save up for the price of admission to get into the movie cinema and when I couldn't get in I'd just do what I could to get into that movie. Oh, God.

He does love movies though. Every time I see him into her, he's like, fizzing, I really good. He sees every movie. Apparently he watches like six movies a week or something. Gosh, he's got the time. He's got the time, I've got the time, I suppose. And secondary, we want to talk about Jacinda Ardern, who is appearing.

We said this would be me and Dan's dream on the couch on Graham Norton. Oh, I love Graham Norton. Wouldn't that be sad? Kate Winsets. going to be there as well. Oh, what a couch. And Kate's always funny when she's on Graham Norton because he brings up the funny in people.

What's Cindy appearing on there for? What's she pushing? I believe for her new book, a different kind of power. Yeah. Which I think she's probably making more money off that book than she even made as the PM of Enzid. Hopefully no one coughs in the studio because she'll bloody lock it down. But no one's leaving. We're putting this into quarantine.

And I'm going to tax all here. He's just... I'm joking. He's just taking the piss. I'm joking. Trying to appeal to everyone because he knows some people listening love her others maybe not we have a show for everybody

here on the end yeah I love her love it a bit as well as she's living her life now because I imagine like who wants to be the Prime Minister I know and the scrutiny for any woman in power is

and you know what she looks so much happier now she's out of because that would have been such a stressful job you know you couldn't make a good decision I think it's a great episode

because if you got on Graham Norton who knows are you going to be sitting next to Right? The other four or five celebrities So hopefully there's some goodies It'll be Kate Windsor at the top of the couch They always put their A-lister Although Jacinda, they'd be mad respect for her Often if it's someone that's like

You know, non-actor they'll often put them Towards the front Who knows, I guess we'll find out Yeah Clint, Megan Dan And our web girl Bella joins us for the Gen Z quiz Hello Good morning, once a week we quiz her on things that happened

Outside of her generation If she gets a perfect score five from five Our job here is done She never has to play again I had to text, um, Bella this week with a photo some shoes I wanted to buy to make sure that they were cool for me to have. Oh, yeah, what'd she say? She said that, yeah, they were.

It's so cool. Thanks. Oh, great. Green light. Okay, we'll start off with an easy one this week. I think you're off the back of two, four from fours. Am I right? Yep. Yeah.

Here's your first question, easy one to start. Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Lala and Po. Oh, my gosh. Are all what? Care bears. I mean, it was a great guess, I think. You're honestly joking. What if it starts with a tee?

They sound like some sort of titties. Tele-tubbies. Oh my gosh. How did you not get that? You were alive when that was a thing. Yeah, I know. Wow. For one, so it ain't going to be the perfect score you're after.

Let's see if we can down trail there. Name this movie. Okay, good luck here. It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries. Yep. It's made with bits of real panther So you know it's good

It's quite pungent Oh yeah It's a formidable She doesn't know it You don't know it do you If it doesn't Panther Come on

I'm Ron Brugendby I'm thinking black panther No No no no no That was Anchorman Oh no no I would never I've not seen that I love lamp

Yeah I've never seen it One of the great God I thought we'd written them easy this week No Oh god You get this one You get this one Okay

Name this TV show Okay She knows the words to the song I know the song TV show Is it a Kiwi? Can I haven't? It's an American TV show Probably one of the most famous Oh is it the GC?

The OC sorry The GC are both wrong Dessons Creek Oh I've never seen it The DC Did you have the GC You wouldn't have probably played It was a bunch of like

Maldies that went over to the Gold Coast And they documented it like a reality TV show. I want to watch that show. The GC. It was terrible. It was one of the worst shows that you'd have seen. I think it actually did play on Australian TV and I remember getting absolutely shit cat. Is that where the saying Scucks Deluxe came from? It was, eh? I think that sort of coined the phrase. Okay. Who sings the song?

Come on. For your first point. Go away to beautiful girl. Sean gets it! She's got one point. Oh, I love that. Okay, one from four. You're fine. Now this is one that I don't think you'll get. Another TV show-based one. What is this the theme too?

Yeah, we're looking for a last name. Pete George. Dollar Judy. Jane is right. This is George, Jane, Judy. They lived in space. Oh, I'm... I thought it was a good show.

Yeah, I just love this. I think I can picture it. And they fly around in that little spaceship and the daughter does? I just can't remember the name. Just come up with the name. The Flintstones. No, you're looking at the other end of the spectrum

in terms of the timeline. Prehistoric versus future. What was it called? Oh, the Jetsons. Me, George Jetson. Damn it! Someone's text through saying it's the Jetsons, you Wally. Not Wally.

One from five, not your best. Not my best, however. But you learned a lot. Yeah, I learned a lot. And the digital content that you've been doing is world class. We could never do the young person stuff that you do. Thank God you've got that to lean back on. Last year we lost almost 50,000 Kiwis to Australia.

But we got about 17.5,000 Aussies coming here. Ash, you're one of them. One of the best decisions I've ever made, can I just say. Love my life here, beautiful country to live in. So we got about a net loss last year, about 30,000 people thinking maybe life might be better. The grass might be greener. over in Aussie. And we have another Ashley who is from America and she joins us this morning because she is one who's had enough in New Zealand and she's moving to Aussie as well. Why the move

Ash? Just more opportunities I think but also I haven't gone on a date in a year. The New Zealand men. Not good. I've heard this a lot though recently like in the last couple of years of not just you but other people that are moving to other countries because of the pool of dating. Yeah, yeah. I'm from America and went on quite a few dates over there and I just feel like over here it's a bit more immature. Interesting. In what way? Like the guys

are expecting women to be like leading things more, they're not getting out there and kind of being proactive or they're just kids? Kind of, a bit kids. Yeah, it reminds me of like teenage boys trying to ask you out. What age do you dating? I'm 34. So I'm dating like 34 to 40.

Wow. And you're still finding them to be super immature. Yeah. And when you say immature, what do you mean? I think the way they speak to women, the amount of times I've had someone comment inappropriately on my looks. Even recently, I just went to Bali and a guy came up and just made a, you know, comment about my boobs and he was Kiwi. Right, in Bali.

So that's not something you experienced back home in the States. No, no, really. So what are American dudes like? What would the experience sound like or look like? Definitely a bit more aggressive, I think, than Kiwi guys. Keep you guys stand off of it. I've told my friends before. reminds me of a junior high dance

where everyone's like on office's sides of the room you have a few drinks and then kind of stumble home with someone at the end of the night girls have cooties that kind of thing because I think

we were talking about it last week about the dating apps and how that's maybe affected a lot of people in the way that no one goes up to people in a bar anymore and kind of goes

hey would you like to dance I don't know what you do but you know what I mean like it's all done on my bumble and hinge and stuff so no one's having

like face to face interactions anymore yeah no one's doing that. I think it does make people a bit more shy. I actually have a friend that started a website recently called Shortlist Dating. And her whole thing is to take people out of dating up. So you kind of go on blind dates with people and get to know them on the personality and she'll pair you up with them. So you're not just like swiping. So if there are single Kiwi guys who could take some advice from you, what would your advice be? From the conversations I've had with

guys, they're not equating to where women are in their lives, but expecting where they're at to be okay. So they're kind of stuck in their 20s but they're dating women in their 30s and expecting them to just get on board with the bachelor lifestyle and you think the most women are like, yeah, but career, future. I don't want to be a mama Sita. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I wonder how many women are listening right now are like, oh my God, preach Ashley, that's so true but no one's talking about it. Like guys stuck in their 20s even though they're mid-30s and girls are like, no, no, no, I've moved on and you need to move with otherwise, see you later. We wish you luck in Australia then. Oh, thank you.

You'll have to report back. I'll send some feedback. Yeah, yeah. you come back, we know it's just a shit over there. Yeah. She can't be crying back. Kiwi guys are actually pretty good. Thanks, Ashley.

All the best with your new life across the ditch. Thanks, guys. Sarah's text saying, I couldn't agree more. Love to know what's the thing that frustrates you the most about Kiwi men. 0-800-3-4-3. I know guys would be like, it's not just us. But if we could actually sit down with our pen and paper

and take some notes, we might be able to... Maybe there are some learning, say. You can just put your, you know, your frustration or your defensiveness to the side and maybe just listen. There's good ones out there. There's good men out there. I know there is. Or if you are mad and you want to call and just tell us to get staffed, you can do that too. Yeah, sure, man.

Phones are open. Oh, 800th the edge. What's the frustrating, the most frustrating thing about Kiwi dudes? We had an American Ashley join us on the show just a few minutes ago and she's moving to Ozzie because she says she just can't date Kiwi dudes anymore. So for her love life and probably for her career, she's going to try. something a little different. Yeah, I feel like we need an audio sting that we can play that says like, hit a nerve.

Yeah. If we had one of those, we'd play it now and go, hit a nerve. Maybe we could just record, you could record it for the next time we do it, Ash. We wanted to know what is the thing that frustrates you most about Kiwi men? And maybe guys that are listening that are also frustrated by the Danish thinking about, ah, that's what girls really want and what they don't want. I can't get over how many texts are. Yeah, I mean, I didn't know that this was a massive issue, but clearly it is.

people saying I couldn't agree with what Ashley was saying more alcoholism and immaturity is the problem guys don't plan dates they don't take you out on dates anymore they just want to come over yeah I hear that for my single friends guys are just like come over we can watch a movie and it's like let's go out and have dinner first

what do you reckon Pip? Good morning hi the guys in Napier the same where you're from yep yeah there's like no available guys out there and if they are, they just want one thing. Which is okay if that's all you want as well. But if you're looking for a relationship, that would be so frustrating, PEP.

Yeah. It is. Like, I'm 36 and single, and I'm ready to the next step. Yeah. So trying to date someone is very hard. And, like, I've asked guys if they want to come over and have dinner. Like I would cook them dinner And they have just totally bleaked me

I feel like you might be quite a tolerant person Though in the dating world Because whatever that noise is that you seem to be able to get more It sounds like you're on a horse or something What's going on? If you can put up with that you should be able to put up with the odd bad guy Yeah Okay well thanks for you call

Yeah, that's Pip Tamara you're the same as Pip Oh Pip I totally agree with her It's horrendous One word horrendous There's a lot of great guys out there. A lot of great genuine women out there. I'm older.

I started going on online dating, which I was talked into. Yes, we get it. Guys love hunting. So do I. I love my fishing, but I'm not, they're holding a dead animal. I started dating a guy in Auckland after a year and a half, discovered that he was married. Oh, my God.

That's disgusting. I'm so sorry. I moved places, ended up in the top of the south, and I went on a date. the guy was living homeless in the car. Everything he was telling me was complete life. Oh my goodness. And just the amount of baggage that guys have got.

It's absolutely horrendous out there and it's scary. Wow. Yeah, this is shocking. I like to think that it may, hopefully, is just a small amount of bad guys that are ruining it for the rest of the good people. Maybe Tamara sounds like a legend. They're like she's really trying her best here. Vanessa might have a different opinion.

Vanessa, surely you're sticking up for the guys. Like F What do you reckon, honestly all those other chips are exactly the same boat they're all just disgusting pigs and half of them haven't got teeth

when they turn up for date and they're just gross Okay Kid a nerve We got it Thank you for the next you little legend Good

Yeah Wow The funny thing is as well They're not all from like a similar location These are like spread throughout the country And different ages as well. Alice says they say hello with their eyes, not even a head raise. Constant lying and leading on consistent.

Wow. Some of the people think that porn is an issue. Like people have expectations because of the content they're watching, bringing that into real life relationships and the expectations are way off. Surely we've got a man on the line ready to defend his gender. Morning, Steve. Morning, team. How are we?

Morena, darling. What do you reckon? Are you going to defend the men? I am, mate I am I have been a single solo dad for 12 years focused on looking after my little Wahini

and now it's hard to put myself back off take myself off that shelf and get out there and date so you know you've got to be a pretty strong pretty awesome woman to make that happen

so there's a lot of lads like me that I know that are completely focused on their kids and doing all the right things and not up there being players and not out there doing all this silly stuff So how do women find you, Steve? If there are men like you out there being good dads, focusing on the right things,

where do you, and if you're interested in dating, where do the chicks find you? Where are you? We're out and about looking after our kids. Team, look for the fellow that's all by himself looking after his kids. So stalk some netball games. Yeah, yeah, I'll go to the playgrounds. Cheap, look for the ring. You know, there's no ring.

It gets a deep, binoculars out, not in a creepy way. We've had Steve called before, and I reckon he always gives me good vibes. He's like a great man, a good dad. Someone else has said even the gay guys are toxic in New Zealand. Oh, gosh. Steve, if you... How old's your daughter? Oh, he's talking to producer.

Can we bring him back? How old's your daughter, Steve? How old's my daughter? She's 14. Okay, she'd love Wicked then, mate. If you guys are free tomorrow night, we'll give you a double pass, and you can take her along to the Wicked Premier,

the Silky Otter and Ponsonby, Canteray's Bottomless Bar for Dad. And you guys can get amongst that tomorrow night, if you like. And Steve, there'll be a lot of single girls. That would be perfect. She would love it. Thank you very much. There will be so many women there.

I might rock up just to see if Steve's as hot as he sounds. Not in a creepy way. I'm happily married. Just as I, you know, as a person that loves our show and our listeners. I would tell your husband what you're going out to do. I'm a beautiful human. I love you. Yeah.

Good on you, Steve. Yeah, enjoy that. Silky Otters in New Zealand-based cinema. Luxury Leather Recliners. Gourmet food and drink delivered right to your seat. You're going to have the best time tomorrow night, Steve. This is something we should explore further. later in the week because we're getting more men text

through saying, I'm with you on that, Steve, I'm in the same situation, kids come first. So like when you get to an age, when there's been a divorce or maybe your partner's passed away, it would be hard as a man to and for a woman, that juggle of like putting your far no

first, but also wanting to meet somebody. Is there a dating app for solo parents? There would be, surely. Surely. It should be. It does complicate things, doesn't it? Apart from any else, you don't have as much time as people that are single. And no, they have kids. Clint, Meg and Dan.

I mean, I'm getting up for this shit. Yeah. I know. I don't know what Ashley's page, but it's definitely enough, I'd say. Not as much as Clint, but more than me. So you can sort of guess. Sort of in the middle there. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.

Hit it. Hit it, buggy. Hit it. It's fuck. It's back Thursday, hit the spot, doing it, because it's a special week for musical theatre fans and movie fans alike, Wicked is out this week, part two, for good. And we thought we would do. We thought, did we?

I thought, I'd do. Define Gravity from Wicked, the biggest musical theatre song in the world. Yeah, and look, usually the day of the hit the spot, Dan's moods are a bit off. Because he's taking it seriously, he's very, you know, about to get in the zone. I would say that it's. It's happened a bit earlier than normal this week. It's annoying, though, for me, because obviously Dan has to practice.

You'd left the studio, but I haven't pushed the buttons. Guess who has to sit here with Dan while he sings a cappella. This is me after work. Yeah. I thought he's trying to edit. And he's practicing. And then he tells me this morning that, like, when he's being practiced, that I'm expected to sing a line,

which he hasn't told me. so then I tried to sing the line and then he got angry at me if you're doing it wrong He was like you're throwing me off Yeah and I was like Well you need to give me a cue then Because Dan you have to actually sing

And conduct Now who sounds angry both of you I'm pretty calm You have to sing And conduct And I think because we can't tell the choir The choir always has someone else We are all following you

Just leave it to me Diles Okay Leave it to the professional Do you know the choir There's like 90 members I think we've got 15 of them coming in on Thursday Stimong choir

Yeah This is their I mean, they sound good, how's their timing? I thought they were all men, but I could hear some of ladies in there. Yeah. I thought the boy were getting an old men's choir. I think he was why Dan requested, and we were like, oh, we'll throw some girls in there. Yeah.

No, I wanted a mix of men and women. I think women are just as good as singers as men. Dan also requested a cherry picker and then got all angry when Carl organized yesterday. Have you missed it? Nah, nah, nah. I picked cherries like the fruit. Yeah, right. Oh, he's a big.

Yeah, not the... Yours from about the machinery, no, nah, nah. Carl sticks you up here. Tom picks about 350,000 to 430,000 cherries a season. Classic gag, Carl. Got to specify, mate. So we're not getting a cherry picker, and I'm talking about the crane variety. What we do have is a choir

Coming in on Thursday I've got green face paint I've got a witch's costume You're welcome by the way Because when I went to go get that face paint It looked sharp They had those people there with the clipboards To try and sign you up for like 30 bucks a month

And I was like can't do it I can't do it And I went back to my car And then I was like Put on your big boy pants, Clint And your headphones So it looks like you're really busy And then I quickly I ran in the store

And then I ran out as quickly as they can They didn't get me Why are you being tasked Nothing? Why are you being tussed by in the face? paint on the show. What are our producers doing? Don't get started with that. I think you asked Carl to get it

and Carl asked if I could get it because he's got enough things going on with the cherry pickers and stuff and I said, yeah sure, what are you doing? He's not getting a cherry picker. He was going to. No, I was painting my house yesterday and I only had a small window so Clint got it for me. Oh, okay. There's a green by any chance to have.

That actually is green. Brilliant. We'll use that. We won't use house paint on your skin because you'll have a reaction and then your skin will be all burned and then for weeks and people would be like, What's wrong with him? Yeah, but I'll be like I did it for hit the spot. That's why I did it. And it'll be like for what?

Thursday's happening. I mean, if it doesn't get hit this week, I kind of am like, hopefully it just sounds good with the choir. They sound amazing. Yeah, okay, well, if you are new to the show you, Dan will be singing along to define gravity. The musical will drop away into the background, and then Dan and his choir will hopefully fill the blank

and come back and right at Grisendo moment. If they don't, it will have all been for nothing. What a waste of time. Yeah, a waste of Carl's time. Waste of Clint's time. I've done very little, to be honest. Yeah, I'm right. Clint, Megan Dan.

Lesh, go. A list of list. Who deserves to be at the top and who does not? If we can't decide, we throw it to you. And maybe today we'll all end up still being friends at the end of the break. Maybe? Oh, we always do. There's a moment there where we hate each other.

I reckon we've got one definitive A in here, and two could be A, could be B's. I'm going to start off with who I believe is a definitive A, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yes, he's an A. A all day. I'm glad we can agree on that. Here is the interesting take, though, on Arnie. Dan always goes, oh, they're not A-lister, there are B now. What have they done lately?

Arnold has done nothing lately, and you put him in A instantly. Government of California. Oh, back in the day. Back in the day. We don't know what he's done. You're not keeping tabs on him. You're giving him an A based on the incredible body of work he did back in the day. Yeah, but it's so iconic that it's part of like the life guys from him.

I totally agree with him. But Dan's thing is like they're not relevant today. They're a B-lister now. I think Arnie's influence is so great. He's putting words in my mouth. I've never said those words. Oh, Dan always goes, what have they done lately? Cameron Diaz?

She's a B. She's done nothing. Give me a movie she's done lately. It's like, no, sometimes you can still be an A-lister. She wasn't A-enough to be in the zeitgeist, unfortunately, for Cameron. Arne was A-en-off for a very long time. It's like Michael Jackson, what's he done lately? You know, but he's still an A-Lister.

Yeah, no, exactly. But I will go on that theory. Once you get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame I wouldn't say the Hollywood Walker fame is a level of this No, no, no, Clint, I think if... You should do that one week. Find people that have a star

and we'll see if the A-liss is or not. All right, next up, this one's for you, Daniel Webby, Michael Schumacher. Interesting one. In terms of racing, he would be probably up there, if not more famous than Lewis Hamilton. I would say he's the most famous. He's a C.

He's a C. For that reason, I would put him, it's a tricky one. I would say A, because I feel like if you said Schumacher as a word, people would know that he is a road racing car. Everybody knows, even if they didn't know what racing he did, who he drove for, I think a famous racing driver Michael Schumacher, he's an A. He's just blinded by his own interests because he likes Formula One.

Yeah, but I'm not. He's a C-lister. There's no way anyone's excited that Michael Schumacher's at the party. Well, it would be very exciting given that he's a preclus after a spinal injury. No one knows. what kind of state he's in. It would be very exciting. And Dan's words, it'd be lucky to be a bee.

No? I actually think he's lucky to be a, he's lucky to be an A. It doesn't matter what we think if we disagree because this is, it's the people segment. So 3343, you let us know, Michael Schumacher. He wasn't even around when Drive to Survivals on. That show's made a lot of the Formula One Drive is famous. Third, Steve Carrell.

B. What? Steve's A all day. B listed. D is A. In office. I think you could say to a lot of people, Who's Steve Corral and they'd be like, I don't know.

I've maybe heard of his name, but I don't know what he does. But they'd know the office and they'd know despicable me. The problem is there are some celebrities that just have names that don't stand out. Like a Gwyneth Poutrow versus, say, a Steve Correll or a Matt Damon. You know, like those just generic mats. You must say, there's an A-lister. Yeah, we've got two A's and a B. The B being, who would you just name?

I forgot them already. Steve Corral. I've done that. He's done that deliberately. And he's an A. There's contention on Michael Schumacher. We're saying A, you're saying C. Very rare that we'll be two whole levels apart.

And Steve Carell, A or B. I just think racing is a specific interest. And if you're not into racing, you wouldn't have a clue who he is. If we're talking about the whole world knowing, say, Oprah or Tom Cruise versus a Michael Schumacher. Yeah, but what's the difference in basketball players? Like Michael Jordan. You're not into basketball.

But Michael Jordan, the Air Jordan brand transcends basketball. And so does Michael Schumacher brand? It's the biggest. He's made more money. out of shoes than he did out of basketball. I like me. A lot of opinions coming through already, so keep them coming. A lot of people saying Michael Schumacher's an A. Other people saying he's a B. Now, and there's no one just said A-C-A.

Yeah, I'm with you on that. All right. What do you reckon? We throw it over to you, Michael Schumacher and Steve Corral. Where do they go? All right, the A-List, the list. Arnold Schwarzenegger is at the top. He's in A. Mr. Olympia, not to mention. all the movies he's been in. Did you guys see that documentary about him? Old school ones, called it Pumping Lines.

Yeah. I was in Melbourne once when Arnold Schwarzenegger was there. And he was having dinner at a restaurant, and there was 100 people outside the restaurant looking in the window, just watching a meet. And what I respect is that he was a Republican governor of California, and he was one of the very first high-profile Republican politicians to have the balls to come out against Trump

when everyone else was like, no, even though we hate this guy, we're going to pretend so that we don't lose our power. He was like, nah, and we went to him. He's an A-lister. The fact when you say Arnie, you go, you know who you're talking about. You can say Arnie, you can say Swartz, Negger, you can say Arnold even. Yeah. Yeah, we all know kindergarten cop and all the other great movies he's been in.

What a great film. He really has been into my mate, and he can't act. And yes. He can't. No, no, no. The two other people we're disputing is Steve Corral, who I think is a B-lister. I know, but me and Dan are saying, I mean Clint is saying, Yeah, I mean, he's a great actor, but he's not famous enough that he's up there. Michael Schumacher is the other one.

Formula One driver, he's now a recluse because he had a brain injury after skiing. I reckon his fame alone puts him in A. Yes, I agree, absolutely. Okay, I got him at sea. I mean, he drove cars for a bit back in the day. That's about it. The best that ever did it. Well, he's got a text that says, Schumacher's an absolute A.

Even my auto-correct knew who he is. Yeah. And that's the next level. I think most of the text coming through are putting Schumacher at an A. There's a couple of people that are agreeing with Clint. but I think the lion's share is an A. What about this one? I have never heard the name Michael Schumacher,

and they spout it Shoe, S-H-O-E, and then Maker, in my life. Cobbling together some boots. Okay, well, let's go to the phones. That's where your vote really counts. We'll take the text into account. Yeah, Ewan's up first in Christchurch. Morning, Ewan, what do you reckon?

Arnie Schumacher, Steve Corral, Morena. Oh, morning, morning. I would say Arnie is a definite A There's no doubt about that Steve Correll I mean come on I mean he's been

He's been in so many stuff He's been he voices I mean come on Yeah and I feel like If you put Schumacher at an A You have to put Lewis Hamilton In A because Lewis Hamilton

If you think about it He's done more outside of F1 Like he's done the Med Gala He's even been knighted So if you put Schumack at an A you have to put Lewis at now. I know you throw on other names in the ring. I think it's criminal that Steve Correll is a B and Schumacher's in A.

But a lot of people saying they have to be the other way around or at least on even par. And I forgot about Anker Man when I was talking about Steve Correll. Lois just focused on Despicable Me, grew and the office. You're disputing Schumacher as well. Kristen, you're saying he is not even on the B list. You're saying a C list. I had absolutely no idea who he was up until you've mentioned it. I know who Michael Jordan is, as you said.

I know who Travis Kelsey is and he plays sports, but I have no idea who the shoemaker is. Love it, Christine. A little bit of shot below the belt as you leave. But alternatively, we've got Alec who's called from Auckland. Alec, you don't watch racing. Do you know who Michael Schumacher is? Yeah, I feel like everybody knows Michael Schumacher.

Like he's the racer who hit his head skiing or snowboarding. Yeah. And I said the swash and while the song was playing, I think he's more famous because of that brain injury now because everybody goes, oh, he's the guy that's a recluse. Alec, you know him. Do you know who he raced for? Nah, it was a bit before my time, eh?

But if I said he won't... But I say, who did Michael Jordan play for? He played for the Bulls. Yeah, right. It's a great point you've made there, Clem. That's hard for me to admit. Here's the thing.

I'm happy to put Michael it to be. Okay. If we keep Steve Corral there as well. I would agree with that. Oh! I said to Steve. Alex, what do you reckon? Can we put Steve Kroll at an A and Schumacher at a B?

Alex. Hello. Yeah, hi. Can Steve Kroll go to A if we put Schumacher at a B? Absolutely. Are you joking that you cannot even remember that he ate a big red candle and he likes lamps? I love Lamp as a famous line. He's got so many famous lines.

And also the one. The movie with Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds, crazy stupid love? That's one of the great films. Well, the 40-year-old virgin? 40-year-old virgin. He's doing some great movies. I just don't think he's A status. He is, he is A, Dylan.

I'll put Schumacher to B. He's an A. All day, you're absolutely right. Okay, I'm going to give you the drum while, you've got to give us the definitive answer because you are more impartial than Dan and I. Based on the text and the calls that we got, what is the final standing?

Arnold Schwarzenegger is an A-lister. Steve Carrell is an A-lister. Michael Schumacher is a B-lister. Happy with that. That's pissed off, Danes. You won't even look at us. No, I'm not pissed off. Don't lie.

You get pissed off. You get pissed off, but you won't look at us. You get all pissy and you'll probably go out in a second and then make a coffee. No, it's too late for a coffee now. Dan will never sleep. He'll never sleep. He'll never sleep. I'm squeezing my stressful very hard, though.

Have you had your vending machine treat you today yet? No, that's not. Why don't you go treat yourself to an early vending machine? treat. Go on. Off you go, darling. Off you go. I'll get you guys a good, better attitude while I'm out there.

Alex, hey, it was the bombs show on Love Island, Kiwi lad, who's jumped on Love Island, Australia. He's going to be on the show next. And also, school closures around New Zealand because of asbestos, much of which has been found in the sand pits. Can I say this way, you've got to be so careful, and I know I'm crazy about this. You have to breed ingredients when you buy stuff from cheap places. You also shouldn't be eating sand. You should be, can't my child eat a liter of sand a day already.

Oh, I'd get him checked. That's always so heavy when you pick them up. Oh, he gets to humans. Oh, I don't think that's the sand, Clint. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Alex Hay is going to be joining us on the show. He is in Lab Island, Australia. If you missed his entrance, as the bombshell, I'll tell you listen.

I'm Alex, I live on the Gold Coast and I'm a sparky I'm not here to f*** around 28 now hoping to find that wide it's time to settle it out I like a girl of good humour confidence

and a little bit of splice I think the boys will be intimidated by me I'm going to walk in there and step on toes there's no two ways about it clumsy All right, this is what he says he's going to do, but maybe behind the scenes is a little different.

Alex Hay joins us on the show. Morning, bro. Hello, hello, how are we? Where are you in the world right now, Alex? I'm actually in Auckland, New Zealand. Oh, Kiyoda. How's it been? How was your experience?

Honestly, it was unreal. Like, it was just the best experience ever. So nerve-wracking, but I'm so glad I did it. What was nerve-wracking about it? Just walking into a house with strangers, and they just had big personalities, all of them. Amazing people, but just I did not not expect. Walking into the house, especially if you're one of the last people, has got to be one of the most anxiety-fueled things you could ever do in life.

Honestly, it is, because you know they're judging you first off, but my job was to be a bombshell, so I came over that energy and just tried to turn some heads, dip on some toes, and yeah, you know all the rest. Knowing what you know now, do you think it's better to be someone like an intruder or a bombshell where you come in later and stir things up? Or is it hard to kind of find your place once everyone's already made their connections before you've even arrived? Yeah, I think coming into the bombshell, it's always going to be very difficult

because you're kind of battling against people that already have established connections. So you've got about a couple of days to try, just do as many chats as you can and turn as many heads as you can. And everyone's kind of closed off And all the guys are pulling their girls closer to them And no one really wants to talk to here And yeah, it's quite daunting really But it just feels so unnatural

Like you have to go over to someone and say Hey, can I put you for a chat? And yeah, it's just, it's honestly insane. I'd imagine there's a certain degree of a facade you put on Especially being a bombshell when you walk into that house How much of yourself are you on there? Because I'd imagine you're kind of Got to dial it up

Yeah, dial it up Yeah, 100%. I walked in, like, I'm going to be honest, just shaking in my boots. I was so nervous. Yeah. And I had to put on like a confident front

that I'm here to, I mean business, you know, stand on business. Like when you watch it, my and myself, when I watch it, I'm like,

these people are so outgoing. I could never do this. It doesn't scare them at all. But the fact that you've kind of lifted back the curtain a little bit and said you were nervous is actually quite refreshing. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I think being from New Zealand as well, like we're all quite humble. And I wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm going to say I was so nervous. And I'm not usually the most confident guy out there. So me doing that actually meant so much to me. I kind of owed it to myself.

Good on you. Okay, well, if you can't tell us how all the show ended for you, obviously, and no spoilers, for those who are watching along. What is your journey like now? Are we still in the Sparky game? We're still an electrician? Or are we looking to do something different now off the back of a massive show like Love Island Australia?

That's a great question, actually. So currently, I'm still in the mind working as a sparky, but my plan of attack is more just kind of touch with my roots, kind of work with more New Zealand brands, and just kind of inspire people to just take that leap and do what they want to do. Because obviously, like, me going on the show was a huge thing for me, and I want to touch other people to say, like, you can do it, you know? There's nothing stopping you. And how many times a day, be honest, are you jumping on Instagram and refreshing your

follow account? Yeah, how many followers have you gained? I think I need about 300 or 200 at the moment If I was a beating man and you're a horse I'd be putting money on you You sound like you're going to go far in the game Yeah everyone does well Because obviously that shows not easy

And we're all putting our life on the line But what you're in the spotlight We never know what you can catch you You're thinking of life island Yeah Alex hey thank you so much bro Thank you for having me Enjoy the ride man

as things start to really kick off for you for sure. No, thank you so much. You guys are awesome. All right, coming up next, a real pivot from Love Island to school closures around New Zealand and Australia when they've done asbestos testing

in like sandpits and other parts of the school and going, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is not safe for kids to even be around and so they had to shut down 200 schools. I thought they got rid of asbestos years ago. I think that's the problem with so much stuff is getting imported, so much crap is coming.

out of places that don't have the same levels of testing and screening people are paying less for things because they can. Plus there's like old fences and roofs that are still made out of a spesos, which is actually okay to still be used as a roofing product. It's if you're going to replace your roof, it's breaking it and removing it and the dust that it causes. You've got to get professionals in. The relief I felt when I got an email from my son's kindy to say, like just so you know

none of these products were used at our facilities, the kids are safe. Asbestos free. I imagine getting a text from the opposite text. Because you go, well, my kids've been there a while. Yeah, of course. It takes years to show up. Clint, Megan Dan. The schools across Australia and New Zealand are closing due to an asbestos warning.

Take a listen. A number of schools across the country have closed their doors as the crisis surrounding kids' place sand products continues. It's believed at least six kinds of decorative coloured sand sold at stationery and Kmart stores may be laced with asbestos. prompting a nationwide recall. My goodness me. It's just disgrace.

Yeah. 71 schools in Australia, public schools have announced that they're closing after they had a test done and confirmed certain batches of kids coloured place and had traces of asbestos. Sorry, I needed to clarify. Yeah, clarify. When I said 200 schools, more than 200 schools in New Zealand and early child education services have contacted the Ministry of Education for guidance. as of Sunday eight schools in the Canterbury region have closed

and the ministry is working closely with WorkSafe and other authorities to provide schools with the advice and testing so that they can make sure that they're all in the clear. My question is, is KMAR going to be held responsible for this? Like, if you're selling products to children, and a lot of Kmart products are the one company that makes it all overseas,

which is why they can get it so cheap, right? Are they held responsible for selling products that aren't passing basic tests. Like, we know about asbestos. This isn't some newfound thing. We're like, oh, we just realized it's bad. I guess it maybe goes back to if there's a governmental kind of stipulation, if you need to check that kind of stuff.

You know, maybe there isn't. Who knows? Yeah, it's one of those things because it's like you want your kids to have everything and how far do you take it, right? Because taking it too seriously and checking ingredients and labels drives you crazy and it is more expensive. But it's finding that, like, that balance. of taking care of my kids and taking their health as my responsibility

because you can't really rely on big companies anymore. No, you can't. And you just assume that a play sand thing that kids use is just fine, you know? Yeah, you're right. You shouldn't assume. Yeah, absolutely right. And we're ordering a lot of stuff of Timo and she in these days cheap crap. I think we just have to be a bit aware of why things are so cheap

and whether it's good to be giving them to our kids. Yeah, so then I suppose there are a lot of parents as well with just even kinetic sand at home, the coloured stuff that they've gone on it and they're kids playing with at home. There'd be a lot of people just going, if in doubt, throw it out. And you think that's a great toy for your kid to have because it's better than seeing if it have a screen.

It's like, you can't bloody win. And I don't actually think there's too much need to panic at this stage. You know, if you've been contacted by your, you know, school or maybe daycare and they've found asbestos, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing, right? It could just be in the very roof where kids have no contact to it, you know? So as long as they're doing the checks. Yeah, I think it'd be great if you work,

concerned about it, like, and you spoke to your kids, kind to your school, whatever, because, like, in your instance, Ash, they've actually said to you, hey, look, if you've heard this story, we're all good, we've done our checks and stuff, and we're all in the clear, and then you've just got peace of mind, I suppose. Yeah. Someone just texted, I brought my daughter some of the stand from a cheap dollar store and threw it out because I'm too paranoid.

Fair enough, of course you would. Yeah, it's tricky, isn't it? We're all doing our best. Next on the show, if you want to head along and catch law. Auckland or Christchurch. She's going to be here next year. Lord Confessionals next. What do you need to confess?

We'll hear a bunch of sins and I guess we will forgive one of them and saw you are with a double pass. We're some doozies yesterday. Yeah. One woman said she found out her partner was cheating so she put nails in three of his tires. Yeah.

So we get two people on one of them we will forgive the other person you are going to hell, unfortunately. It's not real. Clint Meg and Dan. Step into the Lord Confessional. confess your darkest funniest or most outrageous secret to the three of us and then one brave soul will be forgiven and rewarded with a double past the Lord

Auckland or Christ Church next year It sounds fairly savage doesn't it what we're doing You know we're judging people on their deepest darkest Not judging, just listening, not judging I would say Yeah, you're not supposed to judge I think if you're the priest or anything Yeah, we just listen don't we and that's exactly what we're going to do to you Russ Morning Russell Morning morning morning

What's your confession, my love? Oh, yeah, it's not my secret, but it's the secret I just found out last week about family. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, where'd start? So my father just passed away recently. I'm sorry, looking at that, bro. That's right, thank you.

So went to the funeral, did all that, and then after the funeral, I found out, there were some people that were there that I didn't really know pretty much long story short, I've got a sister she doesn't know we're related we met for the first time last week

she thinks we're yeah she doesn't know we're related so who does she think your father was to her just a family friend or something uncle she thought my dad was her uncle and how did you find out that she's not in fact she's his daughter It's been a secret in the family for 30-something years now.

Oh, so you've known for many years. Oh, my goodness. My goodness, that is a good secret. Man, we all think that our family is the weird one. And then we find out that every family's got something. Oh, there's always skeletons in every closet. Yes, thank you, Russell, for sharing that. Sorry again that you lost your papa.

It's usually the perfect-looking ones as well. It's very true. Now, Patricia, you're going up against Russell. What's your secret? Is it going to be as salacious as a he? hidden sister. Yeah. Patricia already knows it's not

and because I've seen I've seen a bit of a description from our producer Carl. It's a hard one to follow. To be fair, we should have gone to you first, Patricia. What's your secret? So yesterday I went to go order some pizza. I realised later that I forgot one of the pizzas. So I ordered

again and I went into the store and I picked up the pizza, and I told the guy, the other pizza is mine as well. And so, but I didn't pay. I was meant to pay in the store. So he scanned my ticket. He only scanned a ticket for one of the two other pizzas, actually. Not three of them. And then I didn't realize until I went outside.

Oh, so you stole a pizza. I was too embarrassed to go back inside. Get it, Patricia. To pay for the other pizza. And then? I'm just pretty much a thief now. Yeah. And later you found out that the pizza guy was your father.

His father. Yes. That would have helped your story. I think you just admitted to stealing a pizza for nothing. How do we give it to the stolen pizza against the 33-year-old hidden sister? Yeah. I think it's got to go to Rusco, right? Russell, mate, you've got a double pass to Lord.

Where in the country are you? I'm in Christchurch. Great. We'll send you a double pass to the Christchurch gig, bro. Would you be willing to take Patricia with you, Russell? She'd get a free pizza for you? That's enough I suppose we could work something out

Yeah What a lovely guy You're sweet man Russell Thank you for sharing your confession Yeah Who knows? Have you and your sister I suppose

End up Getting together over the Christmas holidays And stuff By the time the gig rolls around You can take her Oh really cute You mean his cousin Yeah
