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.
Welcome to the only fans with Clint Dan and Ash London.
Appreciate you joining us.
Oh, what a difference a day makes.
Oh, yes.
If you didn't listen to the full podcast or we listened to the live show.
Oh, we did it, guys.
Bloody hell.
All the work it paid off.
We were bloody buzzing.
the video will be out later if you did miss it
and you don't catch the live show often
so edge breakfast just keep it on our socials
for our hit the spot
The true hero is Bella who watch those videos
Yeah
You know what
You guys have had longer careers than I have
So I'd
You'd be fine if you had a better moment than this
But this is my favourite moment
I've ever had in my life
I'm trying to think of something I enjoyed as much as that
And I can't think of anything
That brings me as much
Like joy in the moment
Yeah it was such
Like that was the moment
Where I thought
Fuck that
Like that is
The best
You can't beat it.
Yeah.
It would be very hard to press to beat that moment.
It's amazing when...
That's what I love about radio is, you know,
when you're doing like a live radio
and you think anything could go wrong
or you're hoping all the stars align
and sometimes most of them do
if you're a well-prepped show with good chemistry.
But when they all align and you're just like,
oh my God, this is better than what we had brainstormed
or hoped a week ago or whatever.
Those moments on radio were like epic.
It was magic because I think we practice it many times.
and I'd say probably once or twice
we got close to sort of
hit in a spot or being there and thereabouts
but that was just something else
there was something else at play there
because if you listen to the audio where it marries up as well
we were all quite out of time a little bit
and then we came back and then we went out again
so it was just a fluke
it was actually a fluke
and so often you radio the opposite happens
like you think something's going to be amazing
and it's fizzles and it's so disappointing
I know do I need to
play it?
I mean I can play it because
you know how normally we're like, if we play the song
Spotify, there really is no song
because we're singing archipella
for most of it. Because people might be like, what the fuck are you
talking about? Yeah, okay, let me see
if I can grab it.
I'm going to eat a little sheet of gnawry
while we do that. Okay, got it, got it, got it, got it.
Listen to what it sounds like in that micro
I'm going to eat this.
Oh, that sounds crunchy. Is that?
Oh, seaweed. I wouldn't have guessed seaweed.
actually so it would make a fun game
what's Ash eating
Watson's Ash's
mouth
okay here we go
okay let's go
this is what winter
at 8 a.m this morning
I see a little
silhouette of a man
Scaramooch scaramooch
will you do the Fandango
Thunderboats of lightning
very very frightening me
Galileo Galileo
Galileo
Galileo figure
Magnific
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me.
He's just just a poor boy from a poor family.
We've got back in time here.
Okay, we're almost there, guys, come on.
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismilla, no.
We will not let you go.
Bissmilla.
We will not let you go.
Bismilla.
We will not let you go.
We'll not let you go.
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never.
Let me go.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, Mama Mia, Mama Mia, let me go.
Piazabu has a devil put aside for me.
For me, here we go.
Here we go.
Five, six, seven, eight.
I don't know how we did it up.
Absolute ma'am.
I threw a chair on the sky.
Dan's reactions.
We watched the reactions because every time our mics were on.
on there our camera is recording.
And Dan's face, we had to scream recording
because he's like, oh!
I think I swore as well.
I apologize.
I think because the music was so loud,
I covered it,
but I apologize if anybody heard me say the end.
I love fucking life.
If anyone gets angry that you said the F word
in his head to spot,
they can show themselves out.
Yeah.
Yeah, so...
I've been shaking ever since.
Like, since we did it at A dayday and this morning,
my fingers have been just all over the show.
Hmm.
I remember.
I'm thinking back when you used to say
Dan, what was the like moment in radio
where you're like where you've got that kind of feeling.
I remember we did for April Fool's
the world's youngest bungee and my daughter was like
two and a half or maybe three at the time
and we got one of the guys from
AJ Hackett bungee in and he had like
jimmied up like a harness
and made a custom harness to put Cameron in my front
like a baby Bjorn and do a
Are you serious?
And do a bungee jump?
Yeah, producer car.
Remember we had
we had you on a scissor lift outside for it
so we could like film up and live stream it and stuff
and then we like got you to record
and I know yeah and then I'd already
she was and so I'd already
was she three almost three to maybe two
just under three and remember we got like
the night before we got you to record
clips of her crying and like saying
she was scared because I was panelling and I was playing
the audience is this a serious thing you were going to do
no this was for April Falls
but oh my God I missed the April Falls bit
Yeah, and most people did.
They had no idea it was the 1st of April.
We just rocked around like a normal, whatever, it was Thursday.
Oh, my, that's so good.
I've got audio of camera just, like, crying when she was in the cot and the lead-up,
like the week leading up, I'd just record different cries.
So then I could play them, and we'd play wind noise, you know,
when you have, like, wind on a mic.
So I'd have wind noise, and we had all that with her kind of crying.
I was like, it's all right, babe, it's all right.
I'm on a cherry picker way up in the air to get all the wind,
and the guys next to me go, all right, mate,
so what we're going to do is we're going to count you down,
but before we do that, we'll just double and triple.
People are calling, going mental.
I'm calling sifts right now.
I'm never listening to the show again.
You guys are such pieces of shit.
You're not going to stand.
People got, and it got crazy.
We were worried none of them were going to come back.
But of course, they had to stay to the end because if they're that outraged,
they're going to need to make sure that you're going to do what they say.
And I think we won a blackie for that.
It was like the...
How many years ago was this?
Years ago.
It must have been, I think that was 2016, because I was still producing the show.
It was your first year.
like one or two then.
Oh yeah, but I've never
ever seen phone lines and text
machine blow up like that in my whole
career. It was crazy.
JJ and Don were like, hey look at the end of the day
everyone parents differently
and this is Clint's
given parental consent and this is what
you know because you see people like
Travis Pastrana or like incredible
wakeboarders like some of the best wakeboards
in the world and they've got their little three year old
on a wakeboard with them and some parents
do pretty gnarly things with their kids
but, mate, the audience went mental.
It came for me, the jugular and everything that day.
See, I'm such a pussy.
I would have lasted one minute keeping that joke up.
But I could, that's actually, I couldn't do it.
And you got other people being...
Like, I think five to ten years ago, you could get away with almost anything on radio.
It's true.
Now you can't, because of social media and stuff, it lives somewhere forever.
That's the theme.
Someone's recording it.
Yeah.
And half of the people were in on the joke, because you've got people going, guys.
It's April Falls.
I've just realized the people getting angry.
This is hilarious.
So, like, half your audience had kind of worked out the joke
And the other half were just like...
And really, if it's April 1, it's on them.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, this is the thing we do every year, guys.
Yeah, it's like the one day a year that you could almost get away with it.
Whereas if you just did it in July, they'd be like, why are you just poking the BF in a reason, you know?
Idiot.
Produce?
Needs?
As my...
There we go.
Do you guys remember the...
I'm going back to hit the spot here.
Do you guys remember the PlayStation game Buzz Monkey Party?
And everyone have the different controllers and there was like a monkey...
Yeah, exactly.
Clint, can you jump onto the pre-records button bar, please?
I've got two pieces of audio.
I've got Ashes scream from the end of the hit spot, hit the spot.
And I've also loaded in the monkey scream from Buzz Monkey Party as well.
Can you just play them one off to the other, please?
Very niche.
It's so niche, I've never even heard of it.
Which screen would you like first?
Play the monkey first, and then go Ashes.
Now go Ashes.
Oh my God, it's the same.
That's bang on, yeah.
That's all I heard the entire hit the spot
And I was cracking up to myself
For like a good five minutes
We've lost Dan, guys
No, I just don't know the game
But it's monkey
So you sound like a...
She essentially sounds like a monkey, really?
Yeah, which is actually a better noise
To make than fuck
Which is what you do.
I shouldn't have said that, should I?
Oh, but it just improves
That in those moments
We're just so excited
You forget yourself
And where you are
Because we're not dropping F bombs on every day
So that just shows like
Dan you're just so,
It was such so euphoric for you
You just forgot your place.
Well, I also, I thought the music was a bit louder than it was.
Because it was quite loud in my ears when you brought it up.
It was like, almost blew my ear drums out.
So I was like, ah, blah, blah, blah.
And it was a, anyway.
They live and you learn, don't you?
Yeah.
So what are you going to do today that's going to come close to giving you that sort of feeling?
I think I'm going to take my son to Motet.
Oh.
So she's all down ill from here.
Yeah.
Isn't that like the old train museum?
Well, there's trains there, Clint.
But if you just, there's more than just trains.
Oh, transport.
It's the museum of transport and technology.
It's his favourite place.
If he wasn't sick, I'd take her and meet you there.
Yeah, I tell you what, though,
there is a room where it's just phones,
like old phones through the ears.
I could miss that one.
Yeah, we don't even go to the, we only go to the aviation.
Yeah, the aviation one's the best.
Really, the only cool thing I think is at Motet is the whisper dishes.
What's that?
Oh, there's like these two massive dishes, almost like, and they're facing you.
And then you go and whisper into this tiny little hole.
Hey, yeah, she's such a little dick.
And then it will bounce back and it will shoot behind you like a good 30, 40 meters.
And it bounces off the other dish and into the person's ear.
And they can hear it.
And you're just like this tiny whisperer, and they hear it.
You're a fucking idiot.
It's a very mean.
No, you always say something mean.
And then the person goes, well, fuck you.
I wouldn't say that to buddy because he's a fool.
Don't call him that.
I'm like, it's a piss boy.
The only reason you love those things so much
because you love the sound of your own voice.
You're like anywhere.
Microphone, headphones, whisper dishes.
Oh, I can't wait to my son's old enough
and I'll put him in there.
I'll go, you're adopted.
Okay.
You know, then you say something mean to what you're mates.
He's not up, but he does,
it screams into the whisper dish,
and it comes back in your ear like 100 times.
That's like when Carl talks on the producer mic
from his studio really loud
and it blows our e-drums out.
Sorry, guys.
The opposite of the whisper dish.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
We're about to have John Campbell
And he's now, Ash, you probably don't know John Campbell
But he's like a journalist
Like very famous journalist from New Zealand
One of the greats really
Like Ray Martin.
Yeah, the Ray Martin of New Zealand
I've heard of him, yeah
But yeah, he's incredible
He's done some of the best interviews
With politicians over the years
Like he's put Chris Luxon in his place
He's put heaps a bit different people
He always asked
Oh, that once for one second
Yeah
Something to be proud of
He's very good
He took a photo with Donald Trump
I don't know if I'd do that
Christopher Luxon, yeah
He has to do if he wants to be legit
True, you've got to keep your relationships
I guess open across different countries and stuff
You never know if you're going to need them
That'd be the hardest thing I reckon
It's like
Not agreeing with the type of person
That somebody might be morally
But needing to use them as a relationship
And international diplomacy
Like you've got to show your country as well
New Zealand that you're being taken seriously
On the international stage
You know John Campbell
He's iconic
He talks like he's always about to yawn
When you listen to him
He always goes like
Oh you're lovely boys
Does he?
When he comes in today, you'll notice it.
But he's, he was the Paddy Gower before Paddy Gower.
That's what I said to have.
He walked so Paddy Gow could run.
Yeah, and he's the journalist of the people.
Yeah, he's a good man.
I think he's coming in to talk to us about Uber
and how you would probably be shocked to find out
how little Uber drivers are making.
Some of them are doing 70-hour weeks
and are still earning less than minimum wage.
But it's a job they can just start now with no real boss
but the pay is just
ridiculous. I'll talk to him about it because
when I went to interview Teddy Swims
the other night I called an Uber from my house
which is on the north shore of Auckland into the city
it's probably like 10 kilometres
and the guy told me he was losing money
on my trip
and I tipped him that night because I felt like
over here but he said
he said nine times out of 10 most days
he literally can't make ends meet
Why if you're losing money then why don't
better to stay home
At least you're not losing money
He can pay for food and stuff
But he's losing
He's having to take money out of his savings
Because it's not enough
So he luckily had savings
But he was hemorrhaging money still
He's still not coming in
And he's renting a house
Yeah
And he said he was like a qualified computer technician
And where he is from
Can't get a job here
So that's his only option
Why I don't understand that
You know when you have a job
Like say you're a doctor or whatever
And then your degree isn't recognised
In the country you've moved to
Why move there?
Why move there?
All of a sudden, you can't be the thing that you are that you've studied to be of all the countries.
Many people in a lot of countries have, you know, face, like religious persecution, poverty, like they're not safe.
There's so many, so many reasons.
It's still better to be here that, like, to be...
Not being able to pay your rent in New Zealand is a great life compared to, you know, a normal life for many other places in the world.
Very, very, very lucky.
But it's shameful of a big company like Uber, owned by Elon Musk, the richest man in the world.
Does he own Uber?
Oh, maybe he doesn't.
No, that's his life.
yeah whatever
there's some big company
that owns it
he'll start doing kind of like
a Nuba but it'll be like
self-driving cars
that'll be his company
they make more money
Uber loses money
from the ride sharing stuff
they make money
from sharing your data
so that they're mining
when you get into a car
they're not making money
from you paying that
they're making money
from finding your data
and going where are you going
what are you searching
like the Uber app
having that on your phone
is worth millions to Uber
delete it today
but you wouldn't
because you can
produce a neaps
yeah
producer needs to tell me
$200 billion is what Uber's worth
Yeah
And like they can't pay their drivers
That sucks, hey
I remember listening to a podcast
I can't remember who the celebrity was
Oh Scooter Braun
And he had somebody come up
And we go
I've got this idea
And blah blah blah
And it was Uber
The guy just didn't know
It was called Uber
And he was pitching it to him
As an idea
And he goes
And we need investors
And Scooter was like
Okay yeah man
That sounds
Yeah fine
And he's got a lot of money
So he said
I invested
Quite a large sum of money
Into Uber
and I've done very well from it is what he said
and I was like you must have made of imagine that
all the things you do in your whole career
and actually the thing you make the most money from your entire life
is just going yeah okay and you invest into some
one of your mates crazy ideas it ends up becoming Uber
that's crazy also restaurants when you order from Uber Eats
if especially if you're using Uber Eats to order pickup
always call the restaurant and order directly
if you're not needing it delivered because they lose money
most restaurants lose money on Uber eats
Uber charges the restaurant so much money
to use the service
and they're still paying the drivers that pick it up
even less than the drivers that do people riding
You're not going to be here tomorrow
so you're going to miss it
But Dan's costume for tomorrow for Halloween is still secret
You'll tell me afterwards
It's not a good one though
Like it's not secret because it's amazing
It's secret because I haven't decided what I'm wearing
Oh have you got too many options
No
I'm partly just thinking of just not dressing up
because I will, next to you and Meg, it won't be good.
Like, it's to no point.
Like, you guys can shine.
And also, he shines in so many segments.
Yeah.
In many ways, he's the star of the show.
So let him not be the star of Halloween.
Well, I said it.
You didn't.
I don't need you to say it.
I think that you, this is you and your Meg's chance.
And let's be honest, it's Meg's moment.
She loves Halloween.
Who would I be to steal her moment from her?
Dan said he was going to come as me.
He was going to bleach his hair and wanted me to bring some of my clothes from home
that he can wear.
I could do that
if you want.
I just can't be
bothered bleaching my hair.
Yeah, it's a bit of a mish,
especially to try and get the ton of colour right now.
And your hair's not fully blonde,
so I'd have to get like some sort of highlights.
I can't be bothered.
When the dark comes through,
it sort of doesn't seem as harsh, hey.
Yeah, so you'd have to,
you would have had to start three or four weeks ago,
Dan.
Would you have done the one tooth
that's slightly yellower than the rest?
True, could have done that.
I got a text from my dentist being like,
you need your check up.
And I'm like, yeah, you're not going to fix
that fucking.
chip tooth
they ended up putting fake tooth on
and they gave it a yellower colour
than my actual teeth
pisses me off
I don't notice it to be honest
otherwise you could go as Carl
and just shave your head
that'd be quicker
That'd be a good one
But then I can't grow facial hair
Oh you get a fake beard
You'll get one of them from looks sharp
I've got plenty of your pubs
We could stick to your face
That makes me want to throw up
Do you know?
I got some for you too
I know we're all over the place
At the moment
But one time for a secret Santa
I never forget
Anytime someone mentions pubs
I think of the story
for a secret Santa gift
this person
unwrapped it
opened it in
was oh my God
and it was an iPhone
they were like
someone got me an iPhone
iPhone box
they opened it up
and inside someone
had shaved their pubs
into the box
and that was their gift
that's sexual harassment
it is hey
that's a fireable
offence in most companies
like imagine that
that didn't happen
at a workplace did it
happened
the person that did it
you would not be surprised
the person who did it
worked at like the old edge building
so I would be like
what this product
They don't work here anymore.
It happened in the boardroom, in the boardroom during Secret Center at the old edge building.
It's Dom Harvey, obviously.
I'm new to this country and I know who that is.
So neither of them work here anymore.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
And I think it was one of those ones where I think he kind of laughed, but then he was like, okay, but where's my actual gift?
And then it was like, no, that's it.
And you're like, hold on.
There's like a $20 spend on this stuff.
I would just never dream.
Like, I love a laugh and having a laugh.
But chop in your pew.
If I was on the, I love a joke, if I was on the receiving end of someone's pubes,
I would make it in my, I would end up in court.
I would fucking lose my fucking shoes.
If Dan shaved his pubs into a box, I think I'd find that funny.
I think it depends.
Because I'd be like, right, Dan did it, I'd laugh.
There'd be nothing predatory or weird.
I'd be putting literally, this is a Macbook box that's full of pubes.
I'd been putting it on social and going,
Hey, who wants to see Dan's pew, story incoming,
and then Dan had regret ever sending it.
A double king-sized bed!
What's in it?
Pews!
Dan's been saving them up.
It's like someone shaved their afro.
He's been shaving it into the box every week for 10 years.
You've got to be careful when you do that
because I had a spoodle and his fur whenever I'd give him a groom
would be so soft.
And I was like, oh my God, I'm going to make a pillow out of this.
So every time I shaved him,
I put it in a bag
and then I think it was by like
the third shave
I went to put it in to see how much
I would have
because it obviously compresses
and it all matted together
and it was all
it was so gross
you thought you would make
a pillow out of your dog's hair
that's so fucking weird
they get duck feathers
and put them in a pillow
they're like plucked
and like cleaned
and
well someone thought that'd be good idea
and it was
I just thought no one's tried
spoodle fur
and maybe I'll be onto something
and then
No, there's a reason why they haven't.
So I reckon you'd probably end up shaving your pubs for 10 years, Dan,
and then you'd find when you went to put them in a pillow or whatever,
that all will matter to get us.
Do you know, I told you about the time just quickly before John Campbell comes in?
One time, Ash, I was, I can't remember.
I think it was summer, and I was wanting to have a bit of a groom down there.
And so I, I think it was Meg that said you need to get a mirror,
put it on the ground, and so squat over the mirror,
and you can kind of like get everything down there.
And so I did, I went home, and I shaved that area.
And then...
Like a bumhole as well.
It looked like one of those, like, baby chickens before they get their feathers.
Yeah, and I got distracted for whatever reason.
I can't remember what it was, because Hannah was out at the time.
And I went and did this other thing, ADHD, and then forgot about the fucking mirror on the floor of the bathroom covered in pubs.
And so then Hannah comes home and goes, and I was downstairs doing something.
And all I hear from upstairs is who going, what the fuck is what is what is what is going on?
John's here, team.
She opened the door of the bathroom to do.
be confronted by a mirror on the floor,
imagine, with pubs all over it.
John Campbell, John Campbell, can he?
John!
Hey guys, John Campbell just dropped, sorry.
I'm joined, they're just talking about pubes in a podcast.
Yeah, sorry, John.
I'm going. I'm not going there. I'm taking the fifth on pubes.
Okay, let's wrap up this pot, tidy things up, put our serious.
I was going to say pans off, maybe three quarters,
and we're going to catch up with John Campbell,
which you'll hear on the show.
in the coming days.
Thanks, team.
Appreciate you.
Bye.
