    OVERTHINKERS Dan....SPIT!

    We kicked things off with a massive announcement that Westlife is officially heading to New Zealand next July. This sparked a heated debate about when the "birthday weekend" actually happens if your big day falls on a Wednesday. Meg is convinced you have to celebrate the weekend after because you aren't actually the new age yet, while the rest of us are just trying to figure out how to stretch the party for as long as possible. Things took a turn for the weird when Meg dug up an old article from when she was 25 where she claimed she was "sick" of Taylor Swift. She barely recognised her own voice or her face from back then, let alone her taste in music. Clint chimed in saying he still sees the same guy inside himself, even if that guy is prone to some pretty questionable life choices. Speaking of questionable choices, Clint finally shared the full story of his infamous wedding haka. He was the celebrant for the ceremony but ended up shirtless on the transport bus at the end of the night, performing for a group of Australians who had never seen a haka in person. The cringe was real as he described the sober bride watching from the front of the bus while he gave it his absolute all. To finish us off, we entered a bizarre competition over who produces the most saliva. Dan claims he has a "regular swallowing system," but the audio evidence of everyone trying to spit on command says otherwise. It got messy, it got brown (thanks to Meg’s coffee), and it’s definitely something you’ll have to hear to believe.

    FULL SHOW Dan hits the spot for all the mums out there

    Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Friday with headphone drama and banter, then Dan recounts taking his son to Auckland Zoo, getting dripped on by a tiger and embarrassing himself climbing up a slide rescue. They celebrate David Attenborough turning 100, chat to long-time listeners who are truck drivers, and bring back “Hit The Spot” with Dan attempting Mumford & Sons for a Mother’s Day tie-in. The team plays a Mother’s Day trivia game, talks weekend sport with Laura McGoldrick, and Dan fails to convince a Canterbury mechanic to support the Blues. The team see who is Employee of the Week, Scandal includes KJ Apa and Kevin Hart, and Fire Chief Dave Phillips discusses underfunding and breakdowns in NZ Fire Service. They debate “hot or not” hobbies, award a Mother’s Day prize to Lisa, and Meg shares a chaotic bean-and-salad disaster day. 00:00 Unhinged Show Intro 01:51 Zoo Trip and Tiger Juice 02:57 Slide Rescue Disaster 04:51 Attenborough Turns 100 06:14 First Calls and Truck Talk 09:59 Hit The Spot Practice Run 13:44 Mothers Day Quiz Game 17:13 Laura McGoldrick Sports Preview 22:16 Who Dares Blues Pledge Prank 25:22 Employee of the Week Roast 29:26 Scandal Headlines Roundup 30:45 Fire Service Funding Crisis 34:45 Hot Or Not Hobbies 40:17 Listener Hobbies Hotline 44:49 Hit The Spot Mothers Day 47:49 Mothers Day Letter Surprise 52:11 Meg Worst Day Ever 01:01:11 Burnt Toast Theory Wrap 01:02:31 Final Sign Off
