The Edge Breakfast - FULL SHOW 1st Tickets to Electric Ave!!

Episode Date: September 2, 2025

This podcast description was blatantly written by AI... JK not today - Producer Neps can't figure it out this morning. Hope you enjoy the pod though.

This is a podcast from Rover. Welcome to the podcast equivalent of a you-up text. Messy, slightly regrettable, but you'll still come back for more. This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast. One's permanently tan. One's permanently cancelled. And one's wondering why she left Australia for this. This is the Edge Breakfast.

Bang on six o'clock Wednesday. Good morning, good morning, good morning. You know that on the top of our thing near that plays? Or it says one's permanently tan, one's permanently cancelled. Who's the cancelled one? Me. Must be. Well, unless you left Australia.

I reckon I'm uncancellable. I reckon I could say almost anything. You're only uncancelable because we do stop you from saying a lot of things. When you say, oh, should I say this on now? I can say some stuff right now. We had to stop you from, we had to, you did a mime challenge that we banned from going live because we knew it would get you cancelled. We filmed something the other day that was, you know, a little bit of a laugh.

And I did something that apparently could never see the light of day. Nope. Yeah, we played in staff meeting with all that's funny, but not funny for us. everyone. Also, Dan's playing like, I can do whatever. Literally like one minute before the mics went on,

he was like, that bit of naughty, 640, I think's too naughty. Too naughty. It's too naughty. But I'll still do it. No. I'll still do it.

Pick it, are you the good boy or the bad boy? Bad boy. Clearly, according to that thing that just played, Clint, everybody thinks I'm the bad boy. I'm a bad boy, baby. That's what plays when he walks into the room.

Yeah. Who does play that, by the way? It's a simple weird. So I think I'm producing a year job. All right, coming up, 7 o'clock, spa full of stars. If you can tell us who they are a $45,000 spa that is currently turned on in full of 40-degree water. It's all yours. It looks $45,000 as well.

It's a fancy spa. Yeah, one of the best I've seen. It's a beautiful. Yeah, all right. We'll get into our 6am throwback as well coming up shortly. If you've got any suggestions, pinging through, what do you feel like this morning? 3343. Nothing will ever beat when we played Backstreet Boy's Shape of My Heart last weekend.

It set us up to our best show. show ever. The best. Clint, megan, Dan. Oh, my gosh. I love Olivia Dean. Me too. And you know, there was,

her and Harry Styles were pictured a little while, like maybe a year ago, like just having a friend date, very much a friend date. But now there's speculation that maybe they really were dating because in the video for that, she, the video references Harry's house,

like Harry's Stiles video, it's very similar. I can't remember the line she's singing, people like, oh, maybe that's her kind of referencing the fact that everyone thought they were together. This is a new one as well I love it

She's great Like really catchy songwriter I don't know if she writes her own stuff And it hits so much better I reckon if we were going into summer Yeah Are you just cranking the windows down On the way to the beach

I was working at home last night And Buddy was drawing And I was playing that song And Buddy And buddy was just playing Drawing away And then he goes Nice to me, that's to me

And he was like singing In his little like Cute little voice And I was like Oh that I tried to record him and he's like, don't record me. Rude. I hate that when kids do that.

You're being cute. I'm going to record you. I'm not going to put it on the internet, but I want to show Papa. Yeah. He's like, I can sing it again. I won't, but I could. Yeah, but then when I say sing it again, he'll be like, poo, poo, poo. Still cute, though.

A few suggestions for the 6am throwback. You're going for a Wednesday. This one might be a little old school. Oh, I like that, Matt. Matt checks that through from Cher. I threw it so far back. We don't know where it went. I'm trying to look for it.

It's gone. I love side of it. Yeah. Now, I want to throw a little bit of a curveball into the mix. Always cares. That's whose birthday it is today. Omi. Born in 1986, the singer of cheerleader.

We did play cheerleader, but we've never played Hula Hoop. That's that. Hoolah, Hula, Hula, ho. On the round around you love that wants me up. Do you know my wife wants brought me a hula hoop? Yeah, I know. I know why. That's the 640. That's 10.

4640. Can we play Hulu and then you find out off the back why Dan's wife bought him one? Thank you. And it wasn't just because it's a fun pastime for most people. Oh, you are going to love this story. I don't care if you are pulling up to the hospital to have your baby or have imminent heart surgery. You're going to want to stick around to hear this story from young Dan. I think people will get

pregnant again after hearing this story. I'll put it this way. I've never heard of a single person buying a Hulu for this reason. Yeah, but it makes perfect sense if you know the dynamic with him and his wife. Omi Hulu Hulu but is your 16th throwback. 10 past 6th his birthday today by the way. He would

be 40 today. Oh, happy 40th, oh me. I highly recommend that you go. He's 39. 39. Did you say 86? Yeah, 86. I'm sorry. He's a couple months older than me. I highly recommend you go to my Instagram story and you follow me at Ash underscore London

just to see the craziness that we're down in the studio with Young, Daniel. That's why it's popping. Thanks for calling me young. Yeah, I was dancing around. You can't help but dance to that song. You can't help but dance to that song. And there is something about a hula hoop that just, you know,

tell the story that. You promised us the hula hoop story. Hula hoops mean different things to me. Yes. Because here's the thing My wife and I We've been together for coming up 10 years now I'm very early in my relationship

With my wife Hannah We had a conversation After Being intimate She's going to hate me saying this Where she said you need to loosen up your hips Didn't she say Hey are you open to constructive feedback

Something along those lines Yeah She's right up to sex, you're like, oh, I did it wrong again. I rolled over, lit up my cigarette like I used to do. Had a cup of tea. I thrusted back when I was supposed to thrust forward. And she said something like, can I, are you open to constructive criticism?

I said, yeah, yeah, of course. And she was like, you're too, rigid. But, like, sort of like too rigid in the area around there. You know, you need to loosen up your hips. I was going full body when really I should be, you know, It's kind of like when you watch the belly dances. You're like, how are they moving their hips with the rest of their body staying so still?

My hips were lying and they needed to be not lying. And so we went away. So what does she do? Because Hannah's not the kind of gal to just be like, be better and not give any help. She's very logical. And the thing with Hannah is she knew I was her life partner. So she was like, you know, I can work on him. I can make him better.

And so what happened after that is Hannah went on to do. Timu, and purchased a hula hoop. It arrived just a few days later, and she presented it to me and said, this will help loosen up your hips. And then what went on after that is I had a vigorous couple of weeks of hula hooping. How long could you keep it up for?

Very, like, have you brought a hula hoop into here now, I'd hula all show. All show, shut up. I reckon I could. Okay, okay. No, I can't. No, I should never have said that. We need to have something

of a charity hauler off. I think you would struggle to do a song. Probably now. I mean, I'm a bit out of practice. It's gone from a whole show to probably not a song. Four hours to three minutes, nah, no, no. Did it improve the sex? It really did.

It really did. Well, I think it helped loosen up my hips because obviously when you're hoolering, you have to isolate that part of your body. So you really do. I think I just got pregnant from watching them do that in my general vicinity. Yeah, you're welcome.

And so, yeah, I think if you are having issues in those areas, did take my advice. Did anyone ever find the hula hoop in the car or anything like that? Not your mom. That would never happen. My mom did find it in the car once. And then she was like, I love hula hooping. And I was like, oh, God.

Did she, like, poured it out. She was bloody good. So it's not a reeditary. She was like, he was so sticky. Yeah. I've got a video of her on my phone just hooloo. Oh, my gosh. I was hate people use their imagination.

I had clothes on. God, he always takes it too far. I know, and it's disappointing. That's a shame. I took it to the line and then Ash kicked it over. Yeah, I don't care who it was. It's just a hula hoop. If anybody you guys want to borrow it, I've still got it.

Yeah, just wipe it down with some dead off. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. I just don't want a blue light over it. See you guys. Well, shout out to Julie, eh? Yeah, the hula hooping champion. She would love to be known as the hula hoop king,

trick queen. Get us out of this break. All right. Ash's got a scandal up day and what's going on in the world of entertainment next. Get us out, Clint. You don't know what it is?

Oh, no, I don't. No, she's a king of scandal. Get us out, Clint. Ash has got an incredible story, but she's keeping it. I didn't know if that was you throwing to me to do a hook. Stick around.

It's going to be your best scandal of us. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. I can't get enough of the end of that song at the moment. That's an Olivia Dean, a man I need. Have you just been on repeat, back and forth.

Buck and forth, back and forth. I ain't mad about it. Trying to stop me, you can't stop me. Great voices. Try to stop me, you can't stop me. Could you stop accusing me of swearing and I'm not swearing? You can't say that, New Zealand. You saved it, so well done.

I didn't save it. It's not what I'm saying. Let me get down with Ash London. Scandal. Now often you see when celebrities get roles, they have to bulk up, right? Or get real fit or whatever it is. Clint did that when he was in the movie called, what was it, the kick? He had to bulk up.

He played an all black. Did you hurt? It was the best shape I've ever been in my life. What kind of training did you have to do? I just got a personal trainer. I just did a lot of eating and a lot of weight training. I was like 96 kilos. Jeez.

And pretty, pretty like... Have you got a photo? Did they pay for the personal trainer in those movies? So you had to do it yourself. And I showed up and I swear to God there were... I was thinking everyone was going to be doing it. There were only like three of us that did. I was like, oh man.

But one of the guys who was in the movie with me, he owned a gym. And Jonah Fahoo, he played, he was in Game of Thrones and stuff. Ludus Magnus. Yeah, and so he got a couple of us under his wing and just like thrashed us. Did you have any speaking lines in the film? Yeah, it was like, the main actor's best friend. Can you give me one of your lines?

Do you remember any of them? No, I don't remember. You do, sweetheart. It was one line. It was about Stephen Donald who was like Beaver, they called him. And he kicked the winning kick in the Rugby World Cup. And so I played Richard Kahui, which I don't. knows is like his best mate in the Waikato team.

Waikato. Okay. Well, great story. Thank you so much. So the Rock... That was it. And then I ain't got no more roles after that. Well, the Rock's still in a clinch.

He's taking up a role in a new film. He plays a UFC fighter called Mark Kerr. Now, I think Nipi's excited. You know who Mark Kerr is before this film goes. Yeah, so when the UFC started, it was a very unregulated sport. And Mark Kerr was essentially the guy that... He was one of the guys that... made it popular.

A massive, massive human being and just win on an absolute tier of fight wins in Pride FC and the UFC. Oh my God, he kind of does look like him. I just did it quite Google. It looks like a great role for The Rock. But you're right, he's massive. The film's called The Smashing Machine, right?

I mean, here's the thing. Because the Rock is so massive, he had to slim down to play this guy in a film. Isn't that insane? Because, you know, famously the Rock is up at like 4 a.m. every day and does wait for like three hours and eats 13 cows every day. Like he's just an absolute machine. So he's had to slim down.

And he's on the red carpet up, good carpet in Venice alongside Emily Blunt, who plays the female lead. Great cast, then. Great cast. But like, he's a good-looking man at the best of times. I'm loving the new rock. So as he, so now that he's slimmed down, he's more Ash-Londony.

Yes, because I love a skin. Oh, he does look good. I generally love a skinny guy anyway. Yeah. But he's still huge. me wrong. But now it's just that the first time, the first thing you think of when you see the rock now in this outfit isn't

oh my God those guns. It's like, oh that top looks nice on him. He just looks like a... I went to a junket. I was producing for a show that went to a junket where Dwayne Johnson was there and they were interviewing him. The junkets where you go, a whole load of media agencies come and do a whole load of interviews at one place. And he is, genuinely, I don't know

if he puts on a front or whatever, but he was the loveliest celebrity I think I've ever witnessed. Yeah, I've never heard a bad word about him. Everybody, like looked you in the eye, remembered names. Like, he is world class in terms of that. Very lovely man. I've listened to a couple of podcasts he's done about how he grew up

and literally came from nothing. Like, worked his ass off. Lived in New Zealand for a long time as well. I love him so much. So I don't like any boxing or fighting movies. So I don't think I'll see this film because I can't really watch people be violent. But if I wasn't, I would watch the film.

It looks great. It does look like a great film. Just fast forward all the violent bits. Yeah, it'd be like 10 minutes long, I think. Most bankable actor of all time as well, Drain Johnson. Yeah, crazy a. I think it's Scarlet your hands in now, isn't it? Oh, in terms of mail, but she's probably overall.

Dan doesn't count the ladies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, first call of the day next. If you want to vouch to go spend and store at Z, we will give you that. Just for picking up the phone, having a chat to us. And I know sometimes we get the people going, I never call because I can never get through. You can at 630.

Now's the time, bates. Now's the time. Bless goal! Bless you, there she goes. First call of the day. First call of the day. First one through. She's from Parmy North.

She's a Leo. Most used emoji, apparently, is the handshake emoji. Interesting one to use. Maybe she's making a lot of deals. Yeah. She's never broken a bone, although she has sprained an ankle. And Jess joins us on the line right now.

Morning, Jess. Good morning. How are you guys? Good. Hey, Jess. Talk to us about the handshake emoji. What's going on? on there and why are you using it so much?

It kind of just fits with everything, doesn't it? Yeah. Well, does it though? Okay, we're texting. Why would you use the handshake emoji? You're saying, I'll meet you at five. I'll be like, yes, sounds good.

Deal. Deal. I like that. It's like a thumbs up, an alternative. Yeah, but it's like you're really lock in and go, we shook on that. Yeah. Yeah, it feels like you can't break the promise.

That's what I do with my four-year-old now. We're going to make an agreement. and we shake on the agreement. What do you do for a job, Jess? I'm an event coordinator. I am. Organised lots of deals. She's telling the vendors.

What event are you organising right now? What's your big project you're working on? Oh, lots. We've got track days, customer track days, a festival. Coming up. Yeah, it's for a car company. Oh, okay. So you're doing track days, like where they go around a racetrack.

You like that, Dan, aren't you? Yes, here's my thing. Get it on the media list. Get me on the media list so I can come to the next track day. I want to go for a ride. All right, yeah, I'll hit you up. I'll send you through the website link for registrations, eh? Okay, yeah, yeah.

Dan can share it all on his story on his Instagram. Oh, wow, wow, wow. He's got to pay for his ticket somehow. Yeah. Oh, that's cool. Okay, great. What car company do you work for? A Toyota, New Zealand.

I'd love a highlight. I want a high luck. I need. I love a Toyota. Do you know what I like? It's the Yarrett, it's not the Yaris Cross, it's like a something cross. And I really like it. Corolla Cross?

Maybe it is a Corolla Cross. Yeah, my friend just got one. It's a great little family car, not too, like over the top, not too big. I like Lexus. Toyota make Lexus, don't they? They sure do. Yeah, but you pay more to service that. You just get yourself a Toyota, nothing happens to with it.

You know, parts are cheap. Yes, over to you now. You don't have any contacts for Lamborghini, do you, Jess? No, unfortunately, no. I drive past a Lamborghini store on the way into work, and they've got a new one in the showroom. I was like, oh my gosh. They're the green one.

This one's almost like a brown, tan, and black. Yuck. It looks like you drive it in the desert. Yeah. I went into a Lamborghini shop once, just to have a look, because I wasn't in. And they have like a dispenser smell, like a perfume dispenser in the corner

that makes it smell lovely in there. Isn't that incredible? They had a security guard as well. They used to. I don't see him so much anymore, but he just wandered around the show. And I was like, that's got to be one of the most boring jobs in the world. He's just looking at cars that are just not doing anything, just to make sure no one's going to steal them. But they're not better than Toyota. So well done, Jess. Yes, is the best. We love her.

Hey, Jess, if you hold there, we're going to sue you out of the voucher to go spend in store at Z. Good in the hood is now on at Zed, a little token. Big impact so you can make a vote on where you think money should be going in the community. I love that. Yeah, it's fun. Thanks, Jess. Thank you. Easy.

Hey, coming up next, we've got a little naughty 640. Yeah, I did something this morning before work. They organised on the old text line. And it felt naughty. Okay.

So the extracurricular activity, something with it in a mum's chat, something's been going down, and delivery was made. I reckon you need to be locked up and we need to throw away the key. You're naughty. Early in the morning text,

I was like, I was like, what's naughty early in the morning text unless it's like an up to? Yeah. Yeah, but you're married. Maybe it was. Clint Megan Tan

This morning I like you guys got up early And I had to leave the House five minutes early though Because today I had to make a detour That's interesting Because you left early But you still got here

Now Clint let's speak you late now Because she said she's had to make a detour It's obviously a shady deal that's going down Why what was the detour I'm going to say some sort of drug deal well you're kind of right oh i was going to say no ash doesn't she doesn't come across as the type of person that would do that like ash doesn't even like being in a room when a candle's being lit because she doesn't want to inhale the fumes that's the thing she's very careful with what goes in her body it's the people you least expect that are the addicts well i'll tell you it did involve a baggie and it involved a late-night text from somewhere in the old ponson-by-mums circle oh and the ponson-be mums are always the ones that are into the stuff how much money was exchanged i did it out of the goodness of my heart. Okay, well, it's not what I'm thinking.

Oh, it's charity drug work. No one does charity bags. There were about 20 pills that I put in a snap lock bag. And then at 5.15 and I sent a text to say the goods are in the letter. I wonder if it's like either on Danzotron,

which is bloody good for a hangover, or it's laurazepam. I would not be given that many laurasopam. I know. Like sleep, like, to help you sleep if, you know, you struggle to... No, and Ash, it's magnesium or something boring. Okay, Dan does know me well.

So a friend... A friend of a friend... You can give that a chemist warehouse. It's not magnesium, but it's close. So a friend of a friend, in the bonds of my mum's circle, they've been hit with gastro. Oh, yes. So I said, you've got to go to this place I go,

you've got to ask for the SB Pro. It's a yeast capsule. Not an SP Pro. No, that's different. It's something completely different. S.B. Pro. that's the stractobacillacus or something. to yeast. They were out.

They didn't have any till Friday until the end of the weekend. I said, I went through, I got my SB Pro out. Oh, I can spare some. Give me her address. So I late in last night, I counted out the pills, put them in a baggie. And then I saved the address in my phone. And this morning, out of the cover of darkness.

I left home early. Parked at the street. Walked down. Open the letterbox, check the address. May I was at the right, looked around to see no one was watching. I didn't want anyone stealing my SB Pro. 100% if I saw someone at that time of the morning dropping something off in a letterbox in a little bag in a little bag in a little bag in.

I've never felt so naughty in my whole, even though I was doing a good thing because her kids are vomiting and this really does help with like gastro-y things. So good luck to them, thoughts and prayers, but man, I felt like a drug dealer. Yeah. That this is what it feels like.

But then I thought, I'm in a work car because I have... We're in the edge car. Yeah. So if anyone does see me do this, it's really going to bring the engine to disrepute. Imagine that on stuff.com. On Z.

Hedge villain host. All publicity is good publicity. That's what they're saying. We'll take it. We'll take it. So look, I hope it helps. But then imagine when the truth comes out, it was just diary appeals.

The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. People rock and side hustles, try and get a head. And I imagine when you start a new business, especially if you're on to something really cool, it's hard to then get the word out. then tell everybody how cool this thing is that you're doing? It's an oversaturated market because so many people have got side hustles.

How do you make your side hustle rise above all the other side hustles? True. You almost have to now if you want to get ahead, right? Unless your job's paying you hundreds of thousands of dollars, you need or something. And Dane joins us back on the phones this morning. We spoke to him yesterday from Wannocker. He's a chippy, but he's got a side hustle that hopefully if it earns enough money, Dane becomes your full-time hustle. Yep. Morning, Dane.

Good morning, how you doing? We loved your vibe yesterday and you chose Clint to be the face of your snowboarding business What a great face he has as well Thanks to him Can you snowboard Clint? Yeah Of course he can

Perfect, perfect Yeah I reckon It'd be bad if the guy doing the jingle Was one of the guys who chucks on a set of skis Oh, heck, heck What are your thoughts on skis out of interest dayne I actually ski one

once a season just to show everybody how easy it really is, you know. Nice. Yeah. Just to see what it feels like to be a loser. Yeah. No offense to anyone listening. No. No.

Now, Dane, before we get into what we've thrown together, do you know the Huntrix golden song? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know this one. One of the most famous and recognizable songs in the world. Also, a quick question. Do you sell bindings or just the boards?

Oh, pretty much boards, yeah. I've got a few bindings, but boards is the main thing. Okay, and those bindings, how often do you do a deal on those? Like, pretty good deals? Like, you ever do half-priced bindings? What do you mean? Where are you blinded this? Oh, you're not first to say, hey, hey, then.

Any chance of a deal, bro? Okay, because your jingle suggests you do really great deals. You've got to get more requests for deals. Yeah, you've got to be a lot of people want to come in to get some bindings off you, off the back of this, maybe. So I didn't really get all that much information about how the business works.

But here we go. Here is your 30-second jingle for your business. Power to Hunter Snowboards in Wanaka. We're going up, up, up onto the mountain. We're powder hunter snowboards and we're gonna be going to be boarding.

Whoa. Up, up, up. We're looking so cool. And the balls are. portable and did I mention they're portable Oh, half-rise bindings Now I'm sliding Only loses ski

Oh, powder hunter They're the one to call for all your snowboard needs Oh, that last line, that last note was hard to hear. It's jarrah I was like, I don't quite think I'm here What do you reckon day? I love it, I love it, all right. Yeah, that's so. good. Let's put it on every hour.

That's so good. That's not our work, Day, and unfortunately. I'll talk to it last, see how many spins we can get during the day, mate. I will say, it's so cool. I will say it's catchy, and you need a jingle that sticks in your head. Yeah. Because when you go to a snowballball beach, you're like, what's that jingle that that's bad? And what I hope is that when the Hunterx Golden song comes on, people all they can hear is,

powder, powder, hunter. Today, one of us to go for a snowbody. Dear I say, any original lyrics. are a bit more catchy. Yes. Dane, are you single, brother? Depends he's asking. I'm just, in general.

So he's married, but he wants a side hustle. Dane loves a side hustle. That's what it sounds like. Yeah. Well, Dane, we hope the Powder Hunter snowboards in Wanaka goes hard. And if you're looking for one, go and hit up Dane. Yeah, definitely. And we appreciate you being a good sport, mate,

and getting on the show. Yeah, no, it was fantastic, guys. It's really awesome. Thank you so much. Thank you, Matt. We'll flip you an MP3 version of that and use as you wish. And you got that big high-resolution image of Clint's face for your Ute? Yep, no, that's fantastic.

Yeah, that'll be straight up there on the Instagram. Yeah, nice. I was sure I thought maybe the topless version didn't really go with the snow cold, but I was like, ah, whatever. He can put a shop a jacket on you. The neples were so tweaked that I think it really just brought it home. who's next? Who's got a side hustle? And they're like, oh, I want that. I want some free publicity because Ash London is going to throw her weight behind you for the next 24 hours.

Yeah, give us a call. 0-800-the-edge. You explain your side hustle, and Ash will write a bespoke ad for you. International broadcaster. She's Australian. She might be able to get Chris Hemsworth to do an endorsement. She knows Taylor Swift. All of these are possibilities. A lot of people got side hustles, and they're just squirreling away, hoping that one day their passion, which I imagine is generally how a side hustle starts, becomes their full-time gig, become mega-rich.

Yeah, I can't stop thinking about the AMA. You'd ask me anything we did with the person who was making hundreds of thousands of dollars selling feet pictures and videos. And I look at my feet five times a day now, and I'm like, could you? Could you? I even do, and I've got hideous feet.

Yeah, she made two and a half grand on like a Friday night. It's my dream. And it'd be easy work, I'm sure. You don't have to leave the house. She's going to light and some clag glue. Dan helped promote Katie's fairy business. I tried to help Dane promote his Powder Hunter Snowboard Business and Wanika. Lauren's up next.

Oh, definitely a fan. Okay. So we could do an animal pun. Yeah. All right, Lauren, I'm going to do my very best to do poor pals.com. com. And we'll have it in 24 hours. Thank you so much.

Okay, Lauren, we'll flick your call this time tomorrow and see where Ash has landed and hopefully help promote yourself. Matt Hustle. Thank you so much, Ash. I get some more. She's sweet, hey, just lovely. I always wish my voice was more high-pitched, like that, because I've got a bit of a man voice, you know.

Yeah, sometimes people ask me, what's that new guy? What's the new guy I like? Yeah, he's got big boogies. He's real blokey. Real bloke. Clint, Megan, Dan. Would you let your friends rifle through your Google history? Nope.

Probably not, but Dan does, thankfully, once a week. You know, because Ash and Meg, they're my besties, and I think if I ever pass away, it'll be one of you that I have to put in my will. You come to my house, pick up my phone, and just do a quick delete of all the Google history. Absolutely. I need my WhatsApp messages gone with the girls. I was thinking like Ash or Meg might stand up at your funeral and do like the best of Dan's Google history. No, no. I take this to my grave. Do you know what we do at your funeral?

We do hit the spot and everyone gets a goat. It's all the different songs. Is that my lasting legacy? It's the spot. Absolutely. Bloody how. So every time we do this,

you start to get really stressy. He's bright red in the face at the moment. He hands every phone. No, but he's read it than usual. I'm going to start with, I mean, this I think just kind of encapsulates everything. Does one NZ record your browsing history? Apparently they do as well.

What? Yeah, so any provider. they've got a record of everything you've Googled. So if it goes to, you've got a court for murder or something. So you know how, like, sometimes you might be looking up something a little bit naughty and you go into incognito mode? Yeah. There's someone that could still, like, access that. Even incognito mode?

Yeah. That's just for your phone. Yeah, because if you were going to do criminal stuff, you'd go incognito so that would kind of defeat the purpose, I guess, can make it say. Yeah, but they use it for evidence in, like, big murder cases and stuff. Well, so they should. Yeah. Don't murder people. Yeah, that's a great rule for everyone to have, actually.

Don't do a hole. Yeah. Our next up, Robert Irwin interview, followed by Robert Irwin, email, followed by how to get an interview with Robert Irwin. Yeah, I really want to get an interview with him because he's just doing Dancing with the Stars over in the States. Oh, his sister did it and, like, won it. And she won it. And so now he's starting it. So I thought he would be doing media.

And so I just Googled media. He is the most famous. He's one of the most trusted celebrities on Earth. You know, they do those, like, surveys, like, who do you trust the most? And Robert Irwin every time is just like, boom. Imagine what he could be charging for like a sponsored post. Like a million bucks? Those are the people I'm the most skeptical of,

the ones that look like they got no, like just perfectly squeaky clean. Yeah, but look at where he's come from. You know what I mean? But that's what I mean. It's like imagine trying to uphold that image. Imagine the pressure of being the most trusted person in the world. And it's all of a sudden, House of Cards come down. It's hard to also like fathom that he's only 21 years old.

He's a baby. And he's so, he's done so much in his life, you know, And he's, oh, his dad would be so proud of him. Anyway, I love him. Such a beautiful boy, I agree. We can try and get him on. We can help you out. You can always reach out to your friends for help.

Anyway, he does have an email. Irwin Media, apparently. Win's your birthday? 3rd of December. Okay. It's all time. Leave it with us. We've got three months.

Okay, then we've got, um, who was Rumpel's Stilt Skin based on? Followed by his little red riding hood based on a real woman. I'm wondering if there was a real story in which a wolf dressed up as a grandma and ate a little lady in a red hood. What did you find out, Dad? Was that based on a real story? Did a wolf never dress up as a grandma and eat a little girl in a red hood?

But I thought that there might be based on some sort of truth it wasn't. Why? Because I've been reading Red Riding Hood to George, my son. And you're like, hmm, is that based on a true story? Because there is a lot of truth, you know, he went into the woods, she shouldn't of. You know, she's naughty, she's going out alone. And then this wolf. But these days we need to be tips.

Where it comes unstuck for me is a true story. Yeah, but the wolf could be like, you know, a metaphor for someone. A murderer. A murderer. Yeah, but we do need to teach our kids to go out into the world. Like, we're helicopter parenting them too much, you know what I mean? We do need to teach them to walk down to the daring, you know, get daddy some smokes. Yeah.

Yeah. So, you know, okay, next up. I would love to know the answer to this, actually. What is the slowest fish? Do you remember what the hand was? Why? Because I was wanting to do a race, some content would be cool content where we race. race a fish of some sort.

Like there's a race between a human and a fish. And apparently it is a seahorse, the slowest of all the fish. So you think a seahorse should race a human? I don't reckon I could be a seahorse. Yeah, apparently they're the slowest of all the water creatures. They're the smallest. I mean, it makes sense.

What's the fastest fish? Shark. Is it a shark a fish? Yeah, I think so. Oh, you've always went high like you're making some fish. I'm starting to feel like Harrison now, not knowing what an animal is, but a mammal. But I think they are.

They are classes of fish. Okay, I believe you. All right, well, there you go. That's it. As always, we learn. What did the boss say? When did the boss say when you pitch the idea of racing the slowest fish? Haven't pitched it yet.

Wish me luck. Come on. Maybe like some sort of bigger than a seahorse. Something like a whale or something. I just had the best idea. You know how I'm married to the boss? Why do we do a thing where if you've got something you want a pet but you think he's going to say no, I picture for you, naked.

That's good. Okay, I've got a great idea for it. It involves a whale and a human. Okay, done, done, I'll do it. I'll record audio, not video, at home, okay. All right, just on half seven, we'll get to news headlines next, and then a bit of a scandal update. What? Again!

I know. Have I not given you enough? Clint Megand Dan, gossip, entertainment. Clint Megan Dan with Ash London. Scandal. Talked about The Rock earlier in the scandal. He's had to slim down to play a famous UFC fighter, which is hilarious. Most people have to spend a year in the gym balking up,

but he's so big because he's like a wrestler-wrestler. And the guy he's playing, Mark Kerr, is massive. Huge. But he's still not as massive as the rock. I can imagine it must be really difficult to slim down. If you're that muscular. Especially if so much of your identity, because I know a lot of people, when they're big like that,

your identity is very much in your muscles, and he trains like a mofo all day, every day, eating, getting his macros in and his protein. To have to shift that would be quite a kind of head shift. And I actually watched the trailer for the film. It's called The Smashing Machine. And I got like halfway through and I was like, wait, that's the rock? Unrecognisable.

He's obviously got face prosthetics on and he doesn't look like the rock anymore. Wow. It's so strange. So the film made its premiere at the Venice Film Festival alongside Emily Blunt, who was in the film as well. And as we have with a lot of these, can I say wanky, wanky film festivals, they get the old standing ovation at the end.

And you think a standing ovation, a minute is a long ovation, that's enough. You said yourself, Dan, you did lamies? I did lamies, and I remember I got a standing ovation. But I had to, at the point, go, okay, enough, guys, enough. And so it only lasted like a minute or so. Yeah, because you...

And it felt long. Yeah, you yourself had said, enough. Imagine how long would have gone. if you hadn't told them to... I hate to think... They would still be going at the Takapurna Arts Centre.

Community Arts Centre. Yeah, it was at the Civic in Auckland, okay? Okay, okay, I'm all right. 15 minutes, the people clapped and the rock stood and sobbed. 15 minutes. 15 minutes. That's mental if you time that out.

We're just continuous clapping. Do you know what we should do? Oh, we've got somebody in the office. I want to get someone to just stand in the corner and clap for 15 minutes, and we'll tell them when they can stop. We get told off. We get told off for doing that.

like someone would be like you're distracting other workers. Oh, absolutely. Do you know what? That's not the longest standing ovation though. I just googled the world record for the longest. And it was for a performer, but now I'm probably not going to get this right. But it was Placito Domingo. Oh, Plessido Domingo.

He's one of the three tenors. Okay. Well, he did Othello in Vienna in 1991. The performance was so brilliant. He got an 80-minute standing ovation. 80 minutes. I'm sneaking out. Well, people are taking it in turns?

with that, like, okay, we'll do a minute, then you do a minute, then we'll do a minute, then we'll do a minute, and you do a minute. You have to? Wow. And once you pass the hour, Mark, what's stopping it at that point? I know. Do you know? Like, what is the moment? How do you stop? Yeah, how? Was the performance standing on stage for that whole 80 minutes? And they'd be like, I'm just going to head off now. I've got to go home.

Like, this has been playing for not even a minute yet, and I'm annoyed by it. But unbelievable. Okay, I've got a bit of placido here. Nah, I'm not clapping 80 minutes for that. It's not 80 minutes. I mean, cute costumes, though. Can't see that on the radio. Isn't that incredible 80 minutes?

Yeah, I just need feedback into this whole, like, Hollywood self-importance thing. Like, unless that film has cured cancer, we don't need to be clapping for that long. We haven't seen it yet, Ash. Don't you have to the previous. I'm going to the preview next week. I'll let you know. Hey, electric gav is back, and the lineup is in. Insane.

Insane. It really is. Crazy. If you are doing anything, it is going to mean you're going to be busy in the next 15 minutes. Set an alarm. Come back at 8 o'clock.

You do not want to miss the announcement. It's so good you need to put 15 minutes aside because you'll start clapping and not stop. How good it is. Just keep this running. Clint, Megan Dan. Ash went on a little bit of a rant yesterday. She's not happy about something

and decided that she's had enough in 2025. I'm done with the baggy jeans. I'm done with the low rise. jeans. I'm done. I'm five foot two and my skinniest part is my legs. Stop making me put baggy, unattractive, low-rise jeans on the slimmest part of my figure. I can't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore. And every morning I look at my skinny leg jeans and I go, I just want to put my skinnies on. But I can't do it because it's not fashionable anymore. But today I said, I'm done! She took her bra off after that and burnt it.

Burnt it. Then I jumped on you. And look, I wasn't. the only one. The text machine was flooded with women in solidarity. I'll read some of them out to you. Lead the charge on the skinny jeans, Ash. I've never worn the umpalumpur pants and I still live in my skinnies. Someone else said, Katie said, totally agree. Only wear skinny jeans, 39 years old. Legs are my best part. Someone else said, oh, M.G. Ash, you're a legend. All for bringing back the skinnies. Calls, I was getting DMs on my Instagram. What about the, you haven't read out the one that asked if you look like Mike Wazowski. That was a favorite of my. Mike Wuzowski from Monsters-Zick, who's the monster with the very skinny legs and a big bulbous body.

Yeah, in fact, the resemblance is uncanny. Okay, have you had... If Mike Wazowski had two eyes, I couldn't tell them at part. That's right. He does that for one eye. Yeah, but even ticks now coming through. Oh, my God, yes. Everything's too low rise.

I can't wear it. I can't find anything that looks good. That's exactly right. And for some people, you might embrace the baggy gene. And good for you, babe. I don't want to stop you from doing that, but I want my skinny's back. And look, Lily, our producer who is younger and cooler than me, has sent me a couple of articles to say that it may be looking like the skinny leg

may be coming back in. All fashion is cyclical, but I can't wait. Yeah. So what I'm going to do next is the Skinny Gene Pledge. If you would like to join the pledge, you can do it from the comfort of your own home or car. Oh, if you'd like to do it on air with me, I'd love nothing more. 3343 on the text line, 0800, the edge. Give us a call.

Get on air. We're going to do the skinny gene pledge together. In fact, you know what it would even be better if they take their pants off for it, put on their skinny jeans and that would be amazing. Absolutely. Not a must. Not a must because we'll never know. Because you're right, to start a movement, you need to have people who are brave

and are going to step out in their skinny jeans. Yes. Even if they may be subjected to ridicule from others wearing the baggy jeans. Even if your millennial child will look you and go, um, that mama they aren't cool anymore. No one wearing skinny jeans. You can I just speak up for the men for once? Can we wear skinnies as well?

Or is this just a woman's medium? I can only speak for me and my people. Okay. But if you also want to reclaim the skinny leg jeans, who am I to stop you? Yeah. You know what I mean? Who do I think I am? 0800 the edge.

Who will join me in making the skinny gene pledge live? As expected, the lines are full, the text line has been jammed. with women saying yes. I wish I'd know on that there was this much love out there for the skinny jeans. Absolutely. Brianna said I'm 28 years old. I've never owned a pair of baggy jeans. I wear my skinnies every day.

Baggy jeans don't show off all the good parts. Men love a good peach. You had yours on yesterday, Ash. And I've never felt better. But there's a lot of people commenting. They're going, why you've got skinny jeans? I didn't know you had legs under there. Yeah.

Truth. Melissa made a good point. She says, wear whatever you want to wear. Who cares what's in fashion or what other people? people think we're getting too old for that. And ain't that the truth? I don't want to get to my deathbed and look back on my life and go, I wish I'd worn the jeans I liked. I wish I'd showed off my ass a bit more. So we've got, look, we can't talk to everyone that we've got on the line that's going to take the pledge with me. But we'll start off with Kristen. Kristen, are you

on board today to take the skinny jeans pledge with me? Yes, I'm actually currently wearing my skitties. Yes, girl, come on. Now, is this an everyday decision you make or have you been spurred on and giving the confidence you needed because of this pledge on the radio this week? I live in skinny's and lean. Come on, my girl, Kristen. Okay, let's go to Alicia in Wellington. Alicia, are you taking the pledge with me, baby? Yes, yes, I am.

I'm still wearing my Jenny's things at the moment. Yes, now we're going to go to Samantha and Donovan. Are you ready to take the pledge, babe? I sure am. I've lost 66 kilos this year and I'm not going to beg you to do. He was after getting these legs. No way. Yell out.

She'll live. Come on. And Briana, in New Zealand, Brianna, she'll be the youngest person taking the pledge today. At just 28 years old, Brianna, welcome, my darling. Are you ready? She's ready, baby. Okay, Brianna, sorry, you there, bud? Yep.

Yeah, she's ready. Okay, now, I need all the girls on the line, ready to take the pledge. And Clint, I am going to need you to... I do love the big, loud music, but it is going to overpower the pledge a little bit because I need to hear those beautiful voices with me. Okay, girls. I'm going to say a line,

and then you're going to repeat after me, okay? The first line, take a deep breath to really get ready here. I'm emotional. Okay, girls, you're going to repeat after me. I pledge allegiance. I pledge allegiance. Yes, to the skinny leg gene. To the skinny leg gene.

Yes, I reject baggy pants. I reject baggy pants. Yes. That make me look like an umpah lumpa. That make me look like an umpah lumpa. The power coming through the radio is bringing me to tears. Okay. Don't repeat that.

My ass is gorgeous. My ass is gorgeous. And it deserves a tight fit. It deserves a tight fit. Yeah, it does. My skinny jeans. are here to stay. My skinny jeans are here to stay.

Yes, girls. Oh, I love that. I'm not going to buy. And the movement's already started. Even before you started this ash, two days ago, Haley Bieber had a pair of skinny jeans on. Oh, what? She was just cleaning the house.

That is Sick Clint Megan Dan Put my thing Put my thing now Flip it and reverse it It's your up It's your permit if it's way and yet

It's your You may not realize Miss Yellow Was one of the first Reverse lyrics in that song I put my thing down Flip it and Reverse it And then she does her

Yeah Don't see the trend On TikTok of people It's mainly done with song lyrics Right So you use try and do it in reverse with your own voice, then reverse that back, and hopefully it's the lyrics.

Yeah, take a listen to this couple giving it a crack. Jingle bells, jingle bells. Zwaibonish, Zwaibonis. It's easy. You got... Zwebunish, Zwebunish. Geneleblav. Schoblev's...

Oh, it's so funny. It makes everyone sound like a Bondville. And so this is what the three of us did last night. We went home. And we're not doing songs, right? No. Movies. Movie quotes.

And you think this is easy, but once I started doing it, I realised how hard it is to say words backwards. I started off with really, like, long movie quotes, and I ended up doing three words. What? Yeah, but it's a very, very famous movie quote. Okay, right. Well, we don't know the movie quote that each other has done.

I guess the success will be in performing it backwards, then producer NEPio is going to flip it as quickly as he can and load the audio and if we can understand the movie quote then I guess it's a success. I feel like you can also have text through as well like have a guess as to what it is because it's really hard.

Who's going to go first? Dan, do you want to go first? Okay. That's stress you get. He takes everything so seriously. So I did way more words than you, Ash. Okay, obviously. We learned this obviously yesterday.

went and learned and Dan just kept texting her oh my god this is way hard on that thing is anyone else finding this really difficult are you sure we should be doing this yeah he just wants to do everything so perfectly 15 words okay it's probably one of the most famous 15 15 words that's on you bro

okay here we go okay I've been practicing this for a long time yeah she'll bring the music down yeah when you're ready tag anog oh tower own Irvin or sell scotch for exorb archaile Saifile.

Sci file. So that's... Oh, yeah. Sci file, life. Sci file, life. You sound like a German... I know exactly what it is. I think that I'm already reading because I'm so smart.

You sound like a German trying to do... Someone's already guessed it as well on the text fishing. SciFile backwards and then you'll figure it out. You just got to get the lot. Okay, so Bridges and Epoe is currently frantically trying to flip your audio around. And then he's going to... That's so long, Dad. How did you...

learn it's so long. It took me an hour. I did three words. So what I did is I like rode it down like the words backwards and then sort of try and phonetically place what they sound like backwards. It took so long. Do you know what I did? I just recorded myself saying it into pro tools and then reversed it and then just learned that.

Should have done that. I think, yeah, I've just counted mine now. I think I did 20. Oh my God. What is wrong with you people? Do less. If you haven't guessed already, has he reversed it now so you can hear it. He's got it down. He's got it down for me. I can't wait to hear this. Okay. Okay, here we go

This is Dan's Flip, come on Or re-reverse He's crossing his fingers Lalf, yes, Larka Mosket off Snokeslas Never

I guess Oh my god Wasn't as good as like I have no idea What you were trying to say Really? Come on One more

Life is like a box A chok Lovias Larka Mosquet of Snokes I think it's your timing. Love is like a box of chocolates. It sounds like he's having a stroke.

Yeah, it's a poor forest is having some sort of... Wow. Yeah, slough. And he's turned off. Snogslash. He sounds Russian. So what you've done is you have literally written the words out and then written them backwards and done it that way.

And then just like learn it like a song. I did the same. I don't think that's the smart way of doing it. Well, clearly not. Doing it is to record it and learn the sound of it backwards. Laugh is like? It's like poor at the jarglands. Okay.

Ash and I will ever crack at her next. Let's see if we can nail it and you can work out with the movie quotas. Missy Alley was reversing lyrics long before TikTok decided to start doing it. we give it a crack with some movie quotes. So we've spent the last almost 24 hours learning a quote from a movie in reverse. We're going to perform it live and then frantically I'll produce a NEPIA.

We'll flip it and reverse it and find out if it's clear enough for you guys to even understand what movie it's from. I've just done it. Life is like a box of chocolate, so I did that one very, very difficult. Because you chose an essay. You made it very hard on yourself, my darling.

I should have done something shorter. You've gone longer than me, though. A little bit. But the quote needed to be that long. I couldn't cut it mid-quote. I respect the focus you've put into this. I reckon it could be one of two movies with Clint. We know all his favourite movies.

Magic Mark. Yeah. I'll call running, let's be honest. Yeah. Okay. Okay, you ready? You got this. We believe in you.

So Clint's going to say it in reverse right now. Then Nick here, as quick as he can, he's going to reverse it back. Yeah, I've been practicing all day yesterday. Okay. Okay. Okay. I can say this as a member of the Middle Eastern community. It sounded like you said Allah about four times. Like it said... That sounds like you're saying like Salam al-Aikum or something.

To be honest, it sounds like a legit other language. It really does. It's got to be from cool running. even the people in the text machine are saying it's got to be from call running because we know you so well but I have no idea what you're saying No,

it's almost it's almost cancelable the way he's doing it Yes! I want you to stop! Okay, let's see you can work out I've got no idea. What it is.

Okay, here we go. Okay. So it's re-reversed. I say, I say, I say I'm elisna la No, absolutely no idea. How do you not know that?

I could just understand more in the first one. Ash has got it. You give it, Ash is got it. You give it, Ash. Okay, I see pride. I see power. I see a badass mother who won't take no crap off of nobody. Late again.

Seriously. Oh, here, this one. I say, I say, I say, I say, I'm pelas nala. I reckon that's not great. London, you've got it all to play for now. That's not a way shorter one. I've cheated the system here and I've made it really short. And I feel now, I feel like I'm real loser now

because I made it so easy on myself when you boys have gone. Like, you've done so much and I've done so little. Okay, so the floor is yours. I think you should be able to nail it because you've gone for quality over quantity. Yes. If I don't nail this, I'll be very embarrassed. Okay, good luck. Okay, you ready?

Okay, hold on. Don't make a... Serious wos, yow. Oh, is that it? Yeah. Oh, come, I thought it even longer than that. Hey, it's all about working smarter, not harder, baby. Okay, that's not perfect.

Okay, okay. Surprise, surprise, producer Nipia's already reversed that one. Okay, he's giving me the thumbs up. All right, what movie quote is Ash done in reverse? Why, so serious. Yes. He's good It's not bad

The Joker The joke was on us Clint Yeah Doing them way longer Why so serious It's real It sounds like if Gollum was the Joker That's a fun game

I was actually just gonna do My Pretty But I thought now that's way too long That's really hard What do we reckon Dumber or keep it You know it's a fun A bit of fun

And next time I'll try harder do more than three words. Ash's mum's text through going slay, Ash. It was two words. All right, Ask Me Anything is up next. We have Emily and Carrie, who are going to chat to us about how a lesbian couple

ended up having two babies at the same time that weren't twins. Yeah, and it's so mental, but then once you... What was that? Sorry, there must be an elephant sound effect in the Missy Elliott song. That was terribly plain.

Because you could have said lesbian couple and then there was an elephant noise. And then it was like, what's the relevance? Say it. Hey well, you know it's live. Yeah, no it's live. Can't get it actually.

Just can't do it again. Clint Megan Dan. Ask me anything. All right, I love doing this. Getting to me some very interesting people and our next two girls joining us on the show are no different. They're a lesbian couple that went through,

IVF and they ended up swapping embryos so they could have so they could birth each other's babies. And the crazy thing is as well, they're pregnant at the same time and they ended up having their babies at the same time too. Yeah, within a couple of weeks of each other. Crazy a. Morning, guys. Hello. Good morning, Carrie. Morning, Emily.

Thank you guys so much for taking the time. I know you must be very busy with, if we're doing the maths right, one and a half year olds now? Yeah, yeah, fill on. Carrie, maybe you could explain exactly what's happened here because this is, I'd imagine, fairly unusual how you guys have birthed two children. Yeah, so basically we wanted to have kids. There's quite a few different, like, options that you can choose from

if you go down the kind of IVF room. And we kind of decided that we thought it'd be really nice to carry each other's embryo just because then you could have like that attachment to the other person's biology, if that makes sense. And then Emily had this kind of wild idea that, why don't we try and do it at the same time? We were like, yeah, yeah, it probably won't work at the same time. and obviously it did, and then here we are. I always really wanted to have twins,

so this is kind of like the next best thing, I guess. I guess you've answered my next question, but was it a good surprise or a bad surprise when they both took? No, it was... Well, we actually had to go a bit closer together. The first one for me didn't work, but Emily's did. So I went for another round, and then the second one took. So actually, we were really glad that it did work

because we were starting to think that we kind of got our hopes up that it would work, and then we were like, oh, no, it's not going to work, and then it did work. So, yeah, so it was like a really, really... really good surprise, but also something that we kind of planned. So are you one cycle apart, like, or two cycles apart? Because I guess that's how it works when you're doing IVF, when you're tracking it so carefully. It's obviously all to do with, like, your mental cycle.

But so I think my first one, I was two weeks ahead of Emily. So if my first one had worked, then I would have had Ezra two weeks ahead of Emily having Elvis. And Emily, what are the, what's the statistics? of you both getting pregnant that close together? Is it quite a likely scenario or unlikely? Oh, it's not. No, it's quite unlikely to be fair, especially considering we're classed as old folk now

in getting pregnant world. Which is nothing, which is like over 35, and I'm like, I'm a baby. What are you talking about? It's geriatric, it's cool. Yeah, I mean, I'm 40 this year and I'm thinking of myself, God, what have I done? I've got two kids, like under two. I'm like gray hairs everywhere, do you what I mean?

but no like the likelihood was like quite slim especially because obviously you have to go through all of the bits and pieces like getting checked for your eggs and your lining and all that bits and pieces so your body goes through quite a roller coaster before you even get pregnant you know people go on wild diets and stuff like that but yeah I think to be honest it's just it's just luck like yeah it really is is your body more likely to take when it is your own egg in the embryo or does that not change things?

No, it doesn't change. It doesn't really interesting in that. No, it doesn't change. It doesn't change a thing, to be fair. You're basically a surrogate for that other child. So even though, like, we're, you know, one big happy gay family, it's like we were basically a surrogate for the other person's child. They just make sure at the clinic, you know, your womb is a debt for the embryo to transfer

and all of that. So it really doesn't matter if it's your own or not. Cool. We're getting a lot of people asking about the sperm domino, so we'd like to talk about that next, about how extensive that searches and how detailed it is, to get given a massive manual, a huge book where you can flick through photos, I don't know.

So we'll find out next with our AMA. If you've got a question, you can ping them through, 3343. Ask me anything. We're in the middle of an AMA with Emily and Carrie, a same-sex couple from the UK who went through IVF, and then they ended up birthing each other's babies, coincidentally, two weeks apart. Carrie, what I find really fascinating is how people will choose a sperm donor.

And you guys obviously agreed on the same sperm donor, which makes sense. How long is that process and how big is the manual that you get to flip through? Yeah, my sister-in-laws have this big-ass manual, and I was like, please let me help. And even though it's a very personal decision, I just wanted to see the manual. They would not even let me look. Do you get to see the face of the dead and you go through all their, like, medical, history he's handsome but he's not smart he's smart but not handsome like what do you go with it's literally so overwhelming it was like it was like basically swiping on tinder and like some have like

pictures and then you just go into this rabbit hole and then it's like oh do we want them to like you know have this hair color it's like really hard because you're getting to choose all of these things but we spoke to some friends our kiwi friends actually we were like what do we focus on there's so many things and they said focus on health so we kind of went for like health first, then we'll go to us on a fair hair, you know, like coloured eyes or whatever. We had a few arguments, didn't we? I can imagine that it's an expensive process. Do you mind me asking how much it costs?

Yeah, more than what you get paid in year, mate. Yeah, that's not much. That's not much. So 40K. No, it is expensive. But you don't get like a, you know, buy one, give the second one and a half price. You didn't get any sort of deal like that. Yeah, they love taking your money.

We're like, can't you just put them in the same tube? Your first three embryos are free. Yeah, it cost about $40,000. Oh, yes. For both of them. So how was your pregnancies? Did you both enjoy pregnancies? Was one of you spewing in the toilet bowl and the other one?

Like, I feel amazing. I don't know what you're talking about. God, that would piss you off. Because I would murder, I would have you murdered my partner if they were feeling good while I was in the throes of that first trimester. My pregnancy was horrendous. I had everything sickness. I had like carpal tunnel.

I had like swollen legs. Like everything that like, you know, high blood could go wrong. That was me. Whereas Kerry, she, you know, flew through pregnancy, you know, was a breeze. Like I was getting sick and she was like, what's the big deal? I was like, are you going to? Mine was fine. Yeah.

So Carrie, were you watching? Emily giving birth going, shit, this is me in a few weeks. Oh, God. Yeah. I was literally watching. And, like, I'm, like, really inquisitive about stuff as well. So, like, at the end of the birth,

like, I took, like, a little trip around the end of the table. And I was like, oh, my God, why did I do that? Yeah. And, yeah, that was the end of our sex life, like this. A lot of men say the same. There's a saying here that it makes me want to set something on fire when men say it, but they say it's like watching your favourite pub burn down.

I'm sure you have the same saying where you are in the world, but it makes you want to punch him in the face. So it's good to see that you girls felt the same way. Punching the lasagna. Yeah. Now be honest. Everybody wants to know. I'm sure this is the question everybody wants to ask.

Who had the cuter baby? Oh. My one was Ginger. That's the cuter one then. Yeah, our producer is Ginger's putting his hands up in the area. celebrating. Oh, yeah. Thank you so much, Emily and Carrie,

I'm actually going to give them to my girlfriend Claire and her husband, who are going through a bit of a rough time and love festies. Oh, this would be great. That's so nice.
