Dave Hughes on Marriage & Radio: Staying Present & Letting Go

On April 3rd, Australian comedian Dave Hughes, who's 55, just spilled his simple secret

for keeping the flame alive in his 23 year.

Marriage to Holly Ifeig, he says it's all about staying present and showing real gratitude

every day, treating each one like the first instead of getting bored after two.

Decades together.

He also stressed letting go of the small stuff so tiny arguments don't build into big

grudges.

Hughes loves that Holly accepts him exactly as he is, teeth and all.

He's on the fence about fixing his signature smile since opinions are split on, whether

to change it.

Shifting gears, Hughes didn't hold back on ARN's massive $200 million deal with radio stars,

Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O'Henderson, calling the execs behind it straight up insane.

He wasn't shocked their show got canned this month amid a tough media shakeup.

With his own two day FM gig, Hughesy, Ed and Aaron, acts just this year, he knows the

industry's pain firsthand.

Money's drying up in radio as everything changes fast, making that kind of contract impossible

to sustain without sinking the whole network.

Even big talents like them can justify wages that crowd out everyone else he argues.

Gotta keep the team afloat.

Meanwhile, Hughes is hitting Melbourne and Stony Comedy festivals with his no holds barred

show cooked, ready to roast it all.
