FULL SHOW - SOMEONE GOT TATTOOED 💉

The My Morning Crew Catch-Up Podcast delivers an energetic 18-hour marathon broadcast, blending humor, camaraderie, and surprise challenges. The day’s centerpiece is a playful yet intense game where hosts Tegan, Famer Nixon, and crew avoid saying the word 'no' or 'nah'—the person who says it most by 5 PM must get a tattoo of the number 18, symbolizing the 18-hour shift. David Nixon ultimately loses, leading to a live tattoo session with artist Monty, complete with nervous anticipation and behind-the-scenes banter. The episode also features a special guest appearance by Michael Hill, private chef for Auckland FC, who prepares a lavish meal that becomes a highlight of the show. Throughout, the crew celebrates community, resilience, and connection, with sponsor Huffer generously supporting the event through giveaways and a $500 voucher for long-time listener Dakin. The show closes with a surprise twist: the team will continue broadcasting until 9 AM the next day, marking an Easter-themed extension of the marathon. Key takeaways include the power of positive reinforcement in overcoming negativity bias, the importance of community and shared effort in long shifts, and the value of embracing vulnerability—like getting a tattoo under pressure. The hosts emphasize that even in exhaustion, joy and connection can be found in small moments: a shared meal, a joke, or a tattoo that becomes a badge of honor. The episode is a testament to the crew’s dedication, humor, and deep bond, proving that endurance is fueled not by ego, but by love for the work and each other.
