We’re trying to design a brand-new neon light for the studio, but somehow this turned into a massive breakdown of our deepest secrets, sketchy festival stories, and literal nudity. Wait until you hear what happened when Harry tried to pants someone at Beyond the Valley—let’s just say he didn't realize the guy was going completely commando. Between Ash’s wildly unfiltered sex dreams and a heated debate over whether we should look ratchet or posh for a rental inspection, we are absolutely spiraling today. You are not ready for the chaos. You are not ready for where this conversation goes, especially when we dive deep into the absolute "shituation" taking over New Zealand's beaches right now. Strap in, because we laugh, we spiral, and we definitely talk a bit too much about E. coli. We’re The Ash London Show, a NZ music radio show on The Edge from 3–7pm weekdays! This is our pre-show podcast, where we get a little bit cheeky ;) See more from The Ash London Show at @theashlondonshow and @theedgenz Find your next favourite show and see more behind-the-scenes content on rova’s Instagram @rova.nz Hosts: Ash London, Harrison Keefe, & Yas Coe Executive Producer: Samantha Harding Producer: Nepia Ruwhiu
The team is trying to bring some proper good vibes into the studio with a custom neon light, courtesy of Electric Confetti. While Ash is keen on a subtle, wordless "Waffle House" design, the chat quickly derailed into some truly absurd alternative ideas. From Fetty Wap with a lazy eye to Celine Dion, the team just couldn't agree on what represents them best.
Things took a massive turn when the conversation shifted from studio aesthetics to festival nightmares. Ash shared a legendary pantsing story from Beyond the Valley that went horribly wrong. Her boyfriend, Harry, tried to prank a bloke who was hitting on their friend, pulling his pants down in front of a massive crowd. Plot twist: the guy wasn't wearing any undies. The absolute chaos and screaming that followed from the girls around them is something the team won't be forgetting anytime soon.
Before the festival madness, the crew actually managed to get their hands dirty cleaning up the studio. While Ash was on her hands and knees scrubbing away, Sam was apparently acting like the ultimate project manager, giving the receptionist a full tour of the hard work he barely contributed to. Plus, the fake plants are finally gone, though the debate is still out on whether they can actually keep real ones alive without them dying immediately.
To wrap up the chaos, Ash is heading off to a rental inspection, sparking a massive debate on how to dress. While Yas and Sam insist on full makeup and brushing your hair to make a good impression, Ash prefers the "ratchet" approach to surprise the landlords later. Classic.
