This is a podcast from Rover.
Some podcasts educate. Some inspire. We don't either.
Welcome to the most unnecessary thing you'll listen to today.
This is the Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.

Morning.
Clint is away today.
You've got Cal from the Edge Nights filling in,
a couple of minutes away from six this morning.
And Cal doing a great job.
You're a mere seconds in and you haven't stuffed up.
Well, technically, we're early, so I haven't started yet.
Yeah, that's fair, that's fair.
Yeah, no Clint today, no Clint, but that's okay.
I think he's just preparing for the Big Bang.
Yes, exactly. He needs a day off. I think he's just preparing for the Big Bang. Yes, exactly.
He needs a day off.
Yes, he's doing some hip thrusts.
He's just preparing his calf muscles, his glutes.
That's happening this Wednesday.
Actually, some big things happening with the Big Bang today.
We have had some hotels come on board.
Yeah.
So if you are wanting to take part in the Big Bang,
and let's be honest, who isn't?
I think if you want a venue for the big act,
we've got a whole, I think we've got, what, eight
hotel rooms around the country to give away?
Yeah. Carl, producer Carl's
Yeah, in Auckland and in
Queenstown. Queenstown?
Yeah, Queenstown. Gorgeous part of the country.
So we'll have moments for you to win those
hotel spots for this Wednesday coming up
so you can participate in privacy
if you're in a flat or at home
or living with your parents.
Yeah, and apart from that,
it's going to be a loose show
because I've got my Ritalin.
So let's play a song.
Oh my God, I'm so excited.
I'm so excited.
Thank you.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
Cal covering for Clint this morning.
He'll be back tomorrow, I believe.
But Cal, I just wanted to bring something up with you.
And Meg, I think you'll be quite interested in this.
You probably know about it.
Cal, you do the night show here at The Edge.
And I'd argue that the night show, very important part of the day parts.
You would think so, yes.
Yes, but traditionally, probably not as well paid as your, you know,
other, you know, the breakfast shows and the night and the drive shows
and stuff like that.
I know where this is going.
Yet Cal, Meg, is rocking.
Yeah.
The bougiest bag I've ever seen in my life.
It's a man bag of sorts.
I didn't know man bags were a thing anymore.
What would you call it?
I'd call it a purse.
Or it's a bloody big purse.
Luckily, I have purse.
Yeah, if I can describe it.
Do we need to do a price?
Well, if I can describe it to you, it's... I think all we need to say is... Do we need to do describe it. Do we need to do a price? Well, if I can describe it to you, it's...
I think all we need to say is...
Do we need to do a price?
Do we need to do a price?
All I need to say is that I got a half price.
It was my birthday week,
and I wanted to treat myself to something that would last,
not just buying myself more Lego, you know?
If I can describe it to the listener,
it's a black bag.
It's leather, because you can smell it.
It's pure leather.
It's got a big C on it.
Coach.
Coach.
Cal.
Cal. Right. I know how much he paid it. Coach. Coach. Cal. Cal.
Right.
I know how much you paid me.
No, so do I, Dan.
That's why I'm pushing.
So, Cal,
what I do want to know though,
have you found,
as a woman who has had a bag
her whole life,
from the moment I could hold a bag,
I've had a bag,
how life-changing is it
to have a bag?
Oh, my God.
It's so life-changing.
Well, I mean, to be fair,
I was walking around
with just like an old
like Adidas tote from like a box of shoes that I mean to be fair I was walking around with just like an old like Adidas
tote from like a box of shoes that I
walked around with. I was putting everything in that
but having like compartments.
Compartments, sturdiness. And it looks nice.
I take it everywhere. Have you got enough room in there
for all your tampons and stuff?
Oh Dan don't. I mean Cal won't even
be flinched at that.
What a little thing to say.
That is bad from you.
Yeah, sorry.
Yeah, that was.
Anyway,
what a dinosaur I am, eh?
Chauvinistic dinosaur.
It's dad's 65th birthday,
basically.
If you didn't know,
you can get yourself
your own bag.
Yeah, let's vote national.
Yeah.
I will say though,
it is a very nice bag
and I'm just jealous.
Thank you.
Because I want to put my
tampons in a bag
if you go to buy a bag
Dan
make sure you buy
a different one
it was $600 by the way
half price
$1200 full
that's not true
it is
it's what you told me
anyway
what else is going on guys
it's a nice bag
thank you
Meg
do you really like the bag
would you go and buy
that bag yourself Dan
god no
no no, no.
No, I've got my little Herschel bag.
The thing is, you wouldn't be able to pull it off, though.
Probably not.
No, no, no.
I tried to have a witty answer there, but no, I probably wouldn't.
It's just that.
I'd look like an absolute idiot.
Oh, God.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
Clint, Meg and Dan scandal.
His old laptop. Oh, cow. Sorry, I didn't Dan scandal. Benny Blanco has gone through his old laptop.
Oh, cow.
Sorry, I didn't put anyone's mic on.
I didn't put yours on either.
I'm sorry.
Turn me to my car. I'm so used to only putting one mic on.
Wow.
Sorry about that.
Always trying to mute women, isn't it?
Benny Blanco, the producer, has fun facts about Benny.
I think he wrote most of Ed's albums with him, Ed Sheeran's albums.
And they travel. One of Ed's best albums, I think it was most of Ed's albums with him, Ed Sheeran's albums. And they travel.
One of Ed's best albums, I think it was the Divide album,
he worked on with them.
And they had to travel for it, but Benny's scared of flying,
so they had to boat everywhere.
They had to get all these giant...
Do you guys remember that story?
I remember this year.
Pain in the ass.
Yeah, he had to get on, like, they had to boat.
So I don't know how Selena Gomez is going to go with that,
unless he's, like, gotten over his fear, like Travis Barker did when he started dating Kourtney
Kelly.
Wait, so when he does a world tour with Selena Gomez or whatever, they have to go on a boat
everywhere?
Well, I don't know if he's since moved on or got him past his trauma, but I know when
he was riding with Ed, they had to go on a boat because he wouldn't go on a plane.
For goodness sake.
Can I just show you a couple other songs you might not know that he was riding with Ed, they had to go on a boat because he wouldn't go on a plane. For goodness sake. Can I just show you a couple other songs
you might not have known that he did?
This one here.
Mike Posner.
They made these when they were really young.
Rihanna Diamonds.
One of her greatest songs.
It's great, eh?
Also, Khalid and Halsey.
Yeah.
Eastside.
Such a wide array of songs he's made.
So he goes through this old laptop with this podcast called Daniel Wall
and he breaks down some of the biggest pop songs that he has written
with like Shape of You, Ed Sheeran, Sia.
It's actually Sia's song Diamonds, but Rhianna sang it.
California Girls, Teenage Dream.
And what he lets us know is how much they actually did.
I know that Sia just writes these songs out in like five minutes she's done.
She just comes in, writes a hit, and then she's out.
She is amazing at what she does.
Have a listen to how he wrote Moves Like Jagger from Maroon 5.
The lyrics, we don't even know what they're going to be yet.
Wow.
It's insane.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah. But there's always the right, like, consonants and syllables and, like, phonetics.
Like, watch.
But then the chorus has a little bit in it.
Watch.
Yeah. Tip my tongue and I know. He's got the moves.
He's got the moves.
So all of that is Benny by himself
before Maroon 5 even walk in the door.
It sounds better.
I like his voice.
So all of that is just Benny,
then Maroon walk in,
maybe fill in a few gaps with his.
Sorry, with, you know,
and I like how he even said, you know,
it's the same, you can hear the same tone,
so it's just filling in the words words and then it's their song.
That's so cool.
It's great.
It almost seems unfair that Maroon, as you would call them Meg, just waltz in and then sort of steal all the thunder and people just assume that it was all them.
You know, and really it was kind of like with Sia as well.
She wrote the song, you know, Rihanna just swoops in.
She's got the big name
does the song
and all credit goes to her
yeah although I think
Sia does get the
royalties
royalties from that
hopefully so maybe
Benny's on the same
sort of vibe with that
hey if you want to see
more of all the other
artists he's worked with
text Benny to 3343
and I'll send it to you
nightmare if you wanted
to work with him
in New Zealand
it'd take him about
six months to get here
on a boat
that's why you've never seen him live in New Zealand
yeah
it's happening tomorrow
the big bang, we want the country
to come together, respark the intimacy
in their lives and we're checking in with our partners
to see if they are keen, my husband
is in, no shocker there
but Hannah your wife Dan knows nothing
about this, well
put it this way, I don't think I've mentioned it to her.
So it might be a surprise.
Also, it's very early this morning.
I don't even know if she's awake.
I know.
I've loaded in her number.
All right.
Let's just rip off the band-aid.
It's going to be a lot for her to take in.
A lot of news.
Okay.
I'm excited for this.
Here we go.
Okay.
You need some nervous stand to ask.
Hello?
Hi, Hannah. It's me, Dan, to ask. Hello? Hi, Hannah.
It's Meg, Dan and Cal here.
Your husband.
Yes, I'm sure she does.
I'm sorry to call you on your morning,
but I have a little question.
Dan, would you like me to ask or you to ask?
I'll ask.
You ask.
Okay, you ask.
Yeah?
We're doing this thing that I don't think you've heard of
yet. It's called The Big Bang.
It's happening on Wednesday
where we're encouraging couples to
re-spark or just
spark up the intimacy for a night
and I wondered
if you would be in with
Dan. If you need more details,
I can give them to you.
Look, Meg, you say I haven't heard a bit.
Yeah.
Dan has mentioned it every single day.
Every day.
For you.
You.
I wouldn't have said.
Pathetic.
I have not mentioned it once.
I believe Hannah over you.
So he's brought it up to be like, oh, babe, we've got this Big Bang thing to do.
I haven't. Hannah, when have I mentioned it? So he's brought it up to be like, oh, babe, we've got this Big Bang thing to do.
They haven't.
Hannah, when have I mentioned it?
Every day.
I wouldn't have said so.
I might have put it in our calendar quietly.
He told me that you knew nothing about it.
Okay, so you know everything about it.
Yes. Are we on board?
You know what?
Why not?
Yay!
Maybe I will mention a bit more.
Oh, my God, Dan's blushing.
Okay, it's in for nine o'clock, Hannah.
Be there or be square.
Okay.
It's happening whether you're there or not, it sounds like.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Sorry. Okay. Anyway, whoa, whoa. Sorry.
No.
Okay.
Anyway, well, this has been great.
Hannah, I will see you tonight or another time.
Love you, Hannah.
Bye.
Love you.
Bye.
Bye.
That was absolutely outrageous.
I want to die.
I want to die for you. That's the first time ever I've actually died for you. You know who actually probably want to die. I want to die for you.
I mean,
that's the first time
ever I've actually died
for people.
You know who actually
probably wants to die more?
Hannah.
Yeah.
Clint,
Megan,
Jan.
Stinky Boo.
We want to get to know
every single person
that listens to our show
so we get you to call at this time and we can give you a $20 voucher to go to know every single person that listens to our show, so we get you to call at this time,
and we can give you a $20 voucher to go to Zed.
And that means everybody, Derek.
I know you haven't called for a while.
I know.
Yeah.
I mean, Derek is elusive, though.
We only ever get, like, maybe one text a year from that man,
so we know he's still alive.
Yeah.
Who's called through today, though?
This is Nicole.
Nicole works as a rehab coach.
She drives a blue Nissan Tita, 23 years old,
got a partner living together for a year,
and her nickname is Big Nick.
Big Nick?
What?
Do you like that nickname, Nicole?
I feel like we were talking on air the other day
that some jokes or some nicknames suit men more than women.
Yeah.
Big Nick.
Yeah, well, I kind of made the name,
so I guess I have to like it.
But I kind of just stuck around, so now.
Now you're stuck with it.
Yeah.
Why did you give yourself Big Nick?
Is it because there's a little Nick?
Little Nick or?
No, we were watching Pitch Perfect with Fat Amy, and I was like, oh, it's kind of like
Big Nick.
And everyone was like, Big Nick.
And then, yeah, now it's Big Nick.
Nicole, you chose your nickname of Fat Amy.
And you go, I'm a bit like Big Nick.
I love it.
I think it's a power play.
I would be, if I heard, I haven't met you yet,
and somebody goes, oh, Big Nick's coming up,
I'd be like, oh, bloody hell, I've got to meet this Big Nick.
Yeah.
Party's on.
Get out the way for Big Nick.
Bloody hell.
I don't think you need to move aside for it.
Bloody hell, Nicole.
Okay, I hear that you once had a bleeding eyeball at a party.
We're going to answer
our questions about that
this morning.
So,
Big Nick,
I'm going to ask
the boys a question
and then we will have
to answer
and whoever's closest
gets the point this morning.
How did Big Nick
get her bleeding eyeball?
Let's go Cal first.
You can have it for honour.
I think,
you said it was at a party,
right,
Big Nick?
I hope you don't
take my guess.
Okay.
Okay,
I reckon you said
someone passed me a drink and someone kind of lobbed you a drink and it hit you on the hope you don't take my guess. Okay. Okay, I reckon you said someone passed me a drink
and someone kind of lobbed you a drink
and it hit you in the eye because you're a bit clumsy.
Okay.
Don't answer it yet.
Don't answer it yet, Nicole.
Oh, okay.
Mine's kind of similar.
I actually thought it was somebody popping champagne
and the cork hit her in the eye.
Bloody hell.
I've seen that happen before.
Okay.
And I'm going to say that someone forgot to get out of the way of Big Nick
and accidentally poked her in the eye.
Big Nick put an out here.
Big Nick was walking down the hallway and the person was like,
oh, here she comes, and didn't get out of the way in time
and there was a finger in the eye situation.
I've never heard of a bleeding eyeball.
Not quite.
Okay.
Who was closest?
Who was closest, Big Nick?
Who was that?
I would say probably Cal.
Oh, yay.
Well done.
A bottle being lobbed.
I got a bottle to the nose, which caused a bleeding nose.
And then when it stopped, all the ammo said that it needs to come out another place.
Then it started coming out my eye.
Oh, my goodness me.
I didn't even know that could be possible.
That's awful.
Wow.
Did you get good photos, though? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, cool photos. Grab the camera. Yeah, hell yeah. my goodness me. I didn't even know that could be possible. That's awful. Did you get good photos though?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool photos.
Grab the camera. Yeah, hell yeah. My goodness me.
That's like something from a horror movie. Right, that's scary.
Did your vision kind of
go while that happened? Or does it
just kind of feel like you're welling up with tears?
It kind of just got really warm
and then I was already in the
bathroom because I had a bleeding nose and then I just seen the
white disappear. But being around drunk people, it was awful
because people started screaming, call 911.
And I was like, 1-1-1.
And you're like, you've got the wrong number.
I'm surrounded by idiots.
Isn't it true, though, if you call 911 here, it does take you to 1-1-1?
It should divert, hopefully.
Yeah, it should.
Yeah, it should.
Yeah.
Well, Nicole, sorry, Big Nick,
we're going to change your name officially into the system, by the way.
Big Nick, you've won yourself a voucher.
Thanks to Zed.
Join Zed Rewards and get 20 cents off her leader
and a free coffee, terms apply.
But you can go there and buy yourself a treat.
Yeah, well done, Nicole.
We're currently now looking for a little Nick.
If your name's Nick and you're quite small,
0800 The Edge will name you in the system as well.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Meg, I've got some good, good news for you, my darling.
Oh, bring it on.
Yeah, so we're currently in the midst
or in the process of a big marketing campaign for our show.
You might have seen billboards all around.
Yeah, posters.
Yeah, bus backs.
Wow, gosh, it's been a bit runny on us.
Yeah, YouTube pre-rolls.
Yeah, they're like the photos.
You get YouTube pre-rolls?
I don't know.
I'm just saying different types of marketing. Yeah, it's kindrolls. Yeah, they're like, oh, you get YouTube pre-rolls? I don't know. I'm just saying
different types of marketing.
Yeah, it's kind of like
a kitchen scene.
We're all on the kitchen floor
and the idea, I guess,
is kind of like,
is it the beginning of the night,
the end of the night,
the start of the morning
once we've just rolled in?
I'm throwing Fruit Loops cereal
into the air.
I look like I'm in the middle
of an existential crisis
where I've just come home and I'm just throwing cereal around the place.
They really captured your essence.
Yeah.
Fun though.
And so my beautiful, gorgeous, stunning wife, Hannah,
she was driving around yesterday in the city, Auckland City.
And we've got, as part of this marketing campaign,
we've got posters which are like,
you might see them around, they're like street posters
and they're kind of paper and they're glued to these frames
that you see sometimes on the side of construction walls, on the side of shops. And they're kind of paper, and they're glued to these frames that you see sometimes
on the side of construction walls, on the side of shops.
And they're single ones.
Yeah, and they get replaced every couple of weeks.
Yeah, so there'll be a Clint one, a Dan one, and a Meg one
next to each other.
My wife Hannah, and I'm so pissed off because she didn't get a photo yesterday
because she couldn't stop, but she saw one of these posters.
And Clint Randall, our dear friend, who is not here today,
he's away back tomorrow hopefully, has been C&B'd.
We thought it was going to be you that got C&B'd.
We've both got our mouths open.
So we're both laughing and kind of looking into the air.
And Clint has had a massive C&B just graffitied right on his face.
And last time we did a marketing campaign like this,
I asked for people to go out and deface these billboards.
Like, if you see them, not the billboards, the digital ones,
because that's highly illegal, don't do that.
But it's the small, like, paper-framed ones
that you see on the side of shops that get replaced every week.
Oh, God, go to town on them.
No, don't. Don't do that.
CNB.
Don't graffiti anything.
Scratch eyes out.
Yeah, do a couple of the teeth in.
Yeah, Meg's teeth are very visible.
Scratch all her teeth out.
I don't see why we would encourage to do that.
Look, I don't think it's encouraging.
It's just like, if you're going to do it, do these ones.
Yeah.
And if the police pull you over, just say Meg Mansell sent you and she said it was okay.
No, again, don't do any graffiti on our faces.
Since it's our marketing, we own it, to some extent, we own it.
So, you know, Meg, you can give people permission to do this
and they can come back and say, Meg said I could do it
and they own the marketing.
What I don't understand, though, because I'm looking at some posters now
because we've been sent whereabouts they are in New Zealand.
Clint hasn't got a face that's open for a CMB.
Are you sure your wife didn't see that you had been CMB'd? She was adamant.
The only one with your mouth open. She was adamant.
No, it was one with all three of us in it.
Right. So it was all three of us
in one shot and Clint has had
one big CMB on it. So I beg you,
anybody listening right now, if you see these
out and about and you can see
one with Clint in it, deface the crap
out of it. Do whatever you want.
Just don't do me. I'm pregnant in it. Do whatever you want. Just don't do me.
I'm pregnant and it's icky.
Yeah.
Just do Clinton, Dan.
Leave Meg alone.
It probably means I'm going to get the most now.
If you're going to do me,
just scratch a couple of teeth out or something.
C and B, Clint up, please.
Yeah, I'm sure our marketing team would love
that you're encouraging people to deface these.
And then send the photos to us.
You know what I think?
I feel like this has been happening
for years and years and years.
It's never not funny.
It's not, yeah.
It's one of the most hilarious things
you can ever do.
And the good thing is
no one gets hurt
because they get replaced
after a couple of weeks.
Oh, 100%.
So it's just Clint getting a C&B
in his mouth for a couple of days.
If anything,
if I saw that on a poster,
I would be more intrigued
to look at it
and find the information on it.
Like, what is this?
I'd listen to that show.
This is a lot more about you
than it does our show, Cal, I think.
Yeah, that's a shame, Cal.
You should really not say that.
Anyway, well, all good.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Let's go!
I don't know how it's taken us so long
to actually remember this,
but we only just remember that Dan
has written a very sexy song
and we're doing a very sexy thing this week.
The Edge Big Bang,
we're encouraging the whole country to come together on April 9th,
which is tomorrow, a night to reconnect with your partner.
And also, our friends at Herbal Ignite heard about it
and have given us some Chocolust prize packs to give away to help ignite the spark.
So we've got some of those.
I've tried that.
Yeah.
And some hotel rooms as well for people that are wanting to take part in the Big Bang
and perhaps you're wanting to get out of the house, you know,
have a different environment to connect with your partner intimately.
Yeah, a whole load of hotel rooms in Auckland and Queenstown
to give away for tomorrow night if you want one of those.
That's not by Herbal Ignite, though.
No, no, but you can...
Just making sure we keep...
Yes, yes, you could take some herbal at night with you, though.
You probably could.
Yeah.
If you're very lucky.
But Dan wrote a song last year.
Why did you do this?
I can't remember.
You were trying to bring my sexy back.
Did you lose it?
Who knows, Meg?
Did you ever find it?
No.
I don't think.
You have to have it to lose it.
And I'd argue I never had it in the first place.
Yeah, Dan, you wrote a really sexy song.
One of the words out of it.
Have we got a little snippet?
Yeah.
Daddy.
You might remember it.
What did you think of that,
Cal?
Oh,
I played that off air before
and I didn't know
any context to it.
All I heard was this.
Daddy.
And I said,
oh,
that's hot.
And then I found out
that was Danny.
That's me.
That's me saying that.
Yeah,
with a little bit
of voice disguise on.
So,
if you were like Cal and thought that was quite hot,
we're going to play it for you in just over five minutes.
The full song.
It's called God's Business.
God's Business.
And that's because I one time called Doing the Deed God's Business.
I wish I remember more around that.
And I think it's a song.
The reason we're going to play it is because I think it's a song you could probably play tomorrow night during the Big Bang
and it's going to get
you in the mood.
It's my impression
or my idea
of the sexiest song
ever made.
Okay, so we will be
playing it very shortly
and I'll have some
of those chocolate
surprise packs
to give away as well.
Can't wait.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
It is the Big Bang
tomorrow night
which means,
you know,
we want the whole country
to come together,
reconnect, respark.
We have found out a lot over these past couple of weeks talking about this,
that there are a lot of happy, loving couples out there that are in a season of a dry spell
or a lack of intimacy due to the fact that we are busy, we are stressed,
we have potentially have kids, and if not kids, there's long distance.
There's lots of things that can come in between intimacy.
And we wanted this to be something that broke that
ice where somebody could kind of bring it up
even in a bit of a cheeky, tongue
in cheek sort of way so that
we could try and reignite that
spark. And it doesn't have to be like
going the full hog and having
it, you know, having sex basically.
No, no. You can just chat about it, have a night
where you just have a great discussion about it.
Yeah. You know?
It's just an excuse to kind of get rid of the elephant in the room if you've been going through issues.
And if you're not, fine as well.
Absolutely.
Obviously, you can do that, Cal,
but we didn't want to be a show that was like,
everybody has to do it.
No, of course not.
It's just like, even if you do it,
what if it's so small to some people,
but like holding hands and having a kiss,
maybe couples have like lost that part.
And we want to help do that with some hotel rooms, Dan.
Someone's texted through saying,
nice for you to arrange this event on my birthday.
Oh, you're welcome.
You're welcome.
You're so welcome.
And I think a lot of the time you need,
maybe if you haven't done it in a while,
you need some things to help you get in the mood.
And that is why right now,
we're going to play a song that I wrote last year.
And it is a song, Cal, you haven't heard this yet.
No.
But it is, I've heard from multiple people, many, many people have said to me,
that it is one of the most sexually charged songs they've ever heard.
So the reason he wrote this is, for some reason I called Doing the Deed God's Business on here once.
So that was the name of the song.
Dan stands by it that he took this very seriously, Cal.
This was not him doing a weird Dan gag.
He tried his best to make a very sexual song.
When Justin Timberlake heard this,
he said, I will never write another sexy song again
because he's clocked it.
Barry White died after he heard this.
Right.
That's probably a bad thing.
I wouldn't claim that if I was you.
I would say that's probably,
I wouldn't want people thinking that my song
calls the death of a legend.
But personally, if you're like Dan,
you haven't heard it before,
sorry, like Cal, you haven't heard it before,
this is your first time listening to
God's Business by Dan Webby.
Yeah. I want you to be mine
Sending chills up my spine
Drink my
Forbidden wine
Oh
Up and down
In and out
Up and down
In and out
Doing God's work
Baby Commit your sins to the sex God baby And I'm doing God's work, baby.
You make your sins to the sex god, baby.
Wet, hot, slippery, and cold.
A night with me and you lose control.
Call me your daddy.
Daddy. I am daddy. me your daddy daddy You're meant to send to the sex god, baby Up and down, in and out Up and down, in and out
Doing God's work, baby
You're meant to send to the sex god, baby
Wow, that was, um, something. Yeah was something.
Yeah, yeah.
No, you're welcome.
So, yeah, official review actually, Kel?
You know what?
I will say I don't think it's the sexiest song in the world,
but it's up there.
It's up there.
It's very sensual.
Nathan disagrees with you.
He said, sorry, damn it, I'm falling asleep with this song.
It's also great for falling asleep with.
It does both jobs.
Much like Coldplay in that respect.
But yeah, you could add that to
the playlist. I reckon we do add it to the playlist.
You can text BANGERS
to 3343 to get the
Big Bang playlist that we've put together.
Just sexy songs.
And if you
think that, you know what, that's a start.
That's a little beginner to get me and my partner in the right headspace, in the right mood.
But we have flatmates.
We live with his parents.
We have a dog that insists on watching.
We have kids.
All these things that happen that can ruin the environment.
We have hotel rooms to give away.
Yeah. ruin the environment, we have hotel rooms to give away. Yeah, hotel rooms in Queenstown,
which I'd argue is one of the most sexy places in the country,
and also Auckland as well.
So, you know, both sides of New Zealand are covered.
So if you're able to get to Queenstown or Auckland
and you want a night for the Big Bang, we've got it for you.
Oh, I haven't hit the edge.
We're having the Big Bang. It's happening tomorrow. We just got it for you. I'll wait for you at the end. We're having the big bang.
It's happening tomorrow.
We just want to re-spark.
Intimacy, whatever that means to you,
whatever step that means to you.
And we just think it's a nice conversation
to have with your partner,
especially if you're in a happy place,
other than the fact that you're like,
oh my God, it's been a really long time.
Yeah.
It's been a really long time.
And that's fine.
We also want people to know
everybody has their different happy place
when it comes to your relationship.
But if you're feeling like you would like to get that intimacy back,
this is a great way to start.
We have some hotel rooms to give away for the Big Bang
if you can get to Queenstown or Auckland.
Yeah, and I think it's, look, it happens to all couples, I think,
at some point where, you know, and I think it's, look, it happens to all couples, I think, at some point.
Oh, yeah.
Where, you know, noise gets in the way, things happen, you know, kids, maybe, you know, money issues.
A lot of people being made redundant at the moment as well.
It's not very sexy, is it?
Yeah, a lot of that stuff can kind of get in the way.
So this is an excuse to kind of put that noise to a side for one day.
All right.
Get a hotel room and, yeah, forget your troubles.
Hey, Talia.
Hi. Hi, Talia. Hi.
Hi, Talia.
You're taking part in the Big Bang?
I am, yeah.
Okay.
Okay, Talia.
You and your partner, why would you need a hotel room, could I ask?
Well, we're currently doing long distance and it's our first time.
We've been together for a year and And we've recently started doing long distance
because she moved for a job.
And we both have flatmates.
So it's like, you know,
every time we see each other each weekend,
we've got flatmates, we've got sports.
Yeah.
It's a little bit hard, you know.
This is perfect for you then.
Is it right that you're in Tauranga?
I am, yeah.
Yeah, so you'll be able to drive to Auckland
and make a night of it?
Yes.
Oh, my God, you can pretend it's like a rendezvous.
You know, like, yeah, it'll be so cool.
All right.
Okay, Tali, you get one hotel room.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
Yay, thank you so much.
You and your girl can have a fun night on us.
That's so cool.
Do you think the people, like, the hotel, like, know,
like, we've said this often, they see people
walking and they're like, oh my god, you're here for this?
They know. But I think most
a lot of people that go to hotels
probably.
Safely assume that it could be happening.
The cleaners will be like, shotgun, not that room.
Alright, let's go to
Cara. Cara, morning.
Morning.
You want to take part in the Big Bang tomorrow.
What's stopping you?
Well, we have three dogs.
Right.
And I also own a dog business where I have dogs staying all the time.
Okay.
They can be a mood killer.
Doggy style.
I just realized if I did get a hotel room, I wouldn't be able to go because I have dogs staying.
Oh, could you not have somebody look after your dogs?
Well, I was wondering, if I did win this, could I gift it to my brother and sister-in-law?
That is a very interesting thing to do.
Yep.
You want to give your brother a night stay at a hotel specifically for the Big Bang?
Hey.
I love it.
Hey, hey, hey.
I love it. They have an autistic son. Yeah, and they need a night away for the Big Bang. Hey. I love it. Hey, hey, hey. I love it.
They have an autistic son.
Yeah, and they need a night away.
They have an autistic son.
They hardly ever get away.
Love it.
And I would love to gift them something.
What a sister.
I love it, Cara.
Absolutely.
We can give it to your brother and sister-in-law
so they can have a night away just to themselves.
This is not how I thought this call was going to be
because our producer wrote under your name, Cara.
She's got three dogs that want to take part.
So I assumed it was your dogs
that were wanting to do it.
I'm sorry, that's my bad. I missed a comma.
Sometimes they do.
Cara, that's very nice of you. We'll make sure we set it
up off here so they can get a night
away. That's so, so great. And I hope you
have a nice night with your dogs as well.
Thank you. Thanks, Cara.
And who are we to judge? Dogs can have
intimacy issues too.
Yeah, sure.
All breeds.
So we've got more,
I think,
more hotel rooms
to give away
throughout the rest of the show.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
I've turned my mic on.
He's done it again.
Yeah.
It's now a power player.
I think it is.
I think it's a little bit.
He's just trying
to silence you, Meg.
In breaking news,
which you might be hearing
more of in our news updates, but...
Here we go.
It's Clint, Meg and Dan's...
What you want, you want, you want, you want!
Where's she going?
Sorry, I really battle to find things in this thing here.
It's the second time he's cut you off, Meg.
Yeah, you've noticed that too.
Okay, Meg, your turn.
Donald Trump has threatened to hike China tariffs, I think, 50% up further as the market plunge continues.
It has just been breaking news that it's come out.
You'll be seeing little banners come up on your phones
if you have any news websites and your apps as well.
The global market has plunged as recession fears spread.
European Asian nations seek deals with the USA.
The European nation offers zero for zero tariffs,
but said it's ready to kick back, and Trump is also
threatening to escalate if other countries
raise their own tariffs. He would
impose an additional 50% duty on
US imports from China on
Thursday, this is 48
hours time for us, if the world's
number two economy did not withdraw the
34% tariffs that it has imposed
on the US last
week.
So it's a tariff war, meaning import taxes and export taxes, if you don't know what tariff
means.
China put up 34% to US last week, and now Donald Trump is saying, I will now raise it
to 50%.
So they're playing, I guess, a very, very, very dangerous for everybody else game of
chicken with each other.
Yeah.
And I guess there's a trickle down effect for little old New Zealand, right?
Because that boost puts up taxes, puts up everything, you know,
costs a lot of stuff and it trickles down to us.
Yeah, so keep an eye on this space.
It has just happened and that has been announced for,
well, hopefully some updates on Thursday.
And other international news as well,
the male birth control pill has got through another hurdle
and is closer to being a thing.
Because that's the, for many, many years now,
basically the only birth control for a male
is your condom, right?
And so women have had to, you know, do the...
Take the hormones.
Yeah, and all that sort of stuff.
All the side effects.
And so now, hopefully within the next five years,
they're saying there will be a male contraceptive pill
that men can now take
so the women don't have to do all the heavy lifting.
I think that is epic.
Yeah, and it sort of works in a similar way to the female one
where it alters men's hormones and stuff,
which changes things down there.
I would love to know, actually,
we might have to do a quick poll on it.
Women who have sex with men,
how many of you would still
take your own contraception because you wouldn't
trust that they were
consistent with theirs? There's a trust piece there that comes into it.
It's been built into
us to have to do it because in the end,
if something were to happen, a lot of it
is on us. We're the ones that would have to go through
either pregnancy or abortions.
That would happen to us, so it's a lot of pressure
on us to do it for ourselves.
But guys, I don't know.
I'm just interested to see if...
I agree, Meg.
And also there's also an issue of how accurate is it?
You know, is it 100%?
Even if you're taking it, is it 100% effective?
Yeah, I don't know.
I'm glad that it's happening, though.
I don't think I'm not glad it's happening.
Still five years away, though, apparently.
Far out.
Kawasaki has unveiled a hydrogen-powered robotic horse.
Brilliant.
It looks like a sci-fi kind of like wolf thing.
In this video, it is all CGI, okay?
It hasn't actually come to fruition yet.
But basically, in this video, it can climb mountains,
it can run really fast, runs off a 150cc hydrogen engine
but at this point
the actual prototype
can only stretch its legs
but by the video
you can text robot to 3343
I'll send you back the link
this thing looks insane
yeah it's obviously CGI
because it just doesn't look real
at the moment
my brain can't kind of
get my head around it
could you imagine
with that Israel
could you imagine
running around on like
robot horses
it looks like something
from Halo I will say my wife Hannah she's a horse rider around that. Could you imagine when that is real? Could you imagine running around on robot horses? It looks like something from Halo.
I will say, my wife Hannah, she's a horse rider, loves horse riding.
Can you imagine the Olympics one day when some of the people riding,
doing the horse equestrian stuff are on a robot?
Sorry, when is this planning on coming out, have they said?
I haven't read the whole article.
Because if we're getting electronic horses before we're getting male contraception,
there's something wrong.
And before we get GTA 6. There's something
wrong there.
Yeah, quite a few people.
Yep, every single one in my
mini poll has said not a bloody chance
I would trust a guy to take a pill every day.
Wouldn't trust. Would still take 100%
contraception and would not trust.
Not on purpose, but think they would
probably forget. So that is
a waste of money.
It's science.
I can let you know that.
They need to build something into the pill that makes it obvious,
like their eyes go green or something.
He's definitely taken it.
That's what you imagine, man.
It's awful.
It's awful.
Oh, God.
All right, we do a segment every Wednesday.
No, every Tuesday, sorry.
And how you like them apples.
We don't know how much longer it will last.
It is a very, what's the word, Dan, when people don't like it?
It's controversial.
Yeah, controversial segment.
Polarizing.
Thank you, producer.
I was spreading that in my ear.
We're playing it next.
I've never heard or played this.
I'm very excited.
We have to get into it very fast because it's bloody long.
Okay, here we go.
That's not it.
Oh, I've lost it.
Someone's moved it.
Where's it gone?
Where's it gone?
Where's it gone?
Hello? Hello? Okay, we'll just buffer for time. Here it is.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
An age-old saying that for the most part has served me very well.
I sometimes have two apples a day and I haven't been to the doctor in 17 years.
I probably should, though, because I've got hemorrhoids and a sore knee,
and I'm getting those headaches that cause me to slur my speech and then black out.
Anyway, back to apples.
There are over 15,000 types of apple on the planet,
and three people have set out to try and find the best one.
The leader of the group is shrouded in rumour.
Everybody knows a specific part of him is very large.
I've seen it first hand, and I tell you what, it's hard to fathom.
Anyway, enough about his ego.
His name.
Cal.
Then there's the woman of the group.
Stunning.
Gorgeous.
One of the most attractive people I've...
Hey, I'll stop you there.
You probably can't really comment on a woman's looks
because we don't want another HR complaint.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Okay, well, it's just I've always thought she's just stunningly beautiful.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know that,
but we still can't, like, comment on looks,
like, you know, even if you're saying how beautiful she is.
Oh, okay.
Oh, 2025, things have changed, eh?
Oh, well, she's bloody ugly then.
Absolute trough monster.
Minga, her name.
Mig.
And finally, no risk of an HR complaint with this one.
He looks like a slapped arse.
His name?
Dan, we be.
Let's get on with it.
I'm getting one of those headaches again.
This is causing me to slur my words.
Welcome along.
How?
What do I do?
Is this...
Mike?
I think this is more of a stroke.
We need to fire that guy.
What the hell was that?
He's a weird guy.
Carl, producer Carl, next time somebody's complimenting me,
don't just do it one more good.
It's totally fine.
It's okay with me.
I think if it's a nice compliment, it's all good.
It's a nice thing.
Thank you for looking out for me, though, my friend.
Today we're trying the Cosmic Crisp. Yes. Cosmic. What a great name for an apple. I love that. It's beautiful red. Quite a nice thing. Thank you for looking out for me though, my friend. Today we're trying the Cosmic Crisp.
Yes.
Cosmic.
What a great name for an apple.
I love that.
It's beautiful red.
Quite a small apple.
Much smaller than...
Wait, mine's a different colour.
Mine's like white and red.
Yeah.
So we're just going to jump into it.
We'll judge it on its crispiness, taste and juiciness.
Three, two, one.
Mmm.
Mmm.
So it's 67 on the decibel reader.
Juicy, crunchy, not floury at all.
Great taste.
Do we have another contender to the number one spot?
Carl doesn't like it.
Don't like it?
Nah, mine's not good.
I don't know, mine's a different colour than yours, though.
Okay, so I wonder if the consistency and maybe, like, they're not consistent across the crop.
Mine's not that sweet.
Mine feels like a homegrown apple,
which sounds stupid because all apples are homegrown in theory
if you live at the orchard.
But, you know, it feels like this one I picked off my mum's tree.
Okay, I'm going to go 7 out of 10 for this one.
I'll go a little higher, 7.5.
I'm going to go 5.
Damn.
Sorry.
That does make the top 5.
Currently leading is the Simply Red,
the highest rated apple we've ever had so far.
We're actually going to get up on our story.
The top five of the top apples we've tasted so far.
So next time you're at the supermarket,
you know which not to buy.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Question for you, Meg.
Have you ever had a rumour about yourself
that's maybe not true, but has spread?
None that I've heard, Dan.
I could have, but none that have gotten back to me.
That's good, because there's a girl over in America
who's done an interview that had a rumour about her
that has gone completely viral to a point
where it made its way onto a television show over in America.
So she was dating a guy.
They broke up.
Yeah.
And the rumour was, which she says is untrue,
that she then went on to hurt his dad.
And it broke up a family.
It caused a whole lot of family drama.
That drama then spilled over onto a TV show called The Pat McAfee Show, which is like, I'm guessing.
It's my favorite show, that one.
Have you watched it before?
No.
No.
I think it's sort of like a Dr. Phil type thing where they solve family issues.
And it's completely untrue, according to her.
She's like, I never dated the dad.
But yet there's this whole rumor
that's been spread around the world now
that I am a girl that cheated on my boyfriend with the dad.
She says it's untrue.
Shouldn't we be more mad at the dad?
Possibly. Possibly.
So then the girl, I'm like...
Yes.
Hang on.
Light bulb.
I feel like he's...
If this did happen, he's the worst.
He'd sleep with the much younger woman that was his son's girlfriend.
Oh, 100%.
Yeah.
But...
But she's the one that's having her life ruined by it.
Yeah.
Or maybe he's used it as an excuse to kind of get out of something that's much worse.
I don't know.
Wow, rumours suck
because no matter what you say,
there's no convincing people a lot of the time.
People believe what they want to believe.
Yeah, exactly.
But it does happen.
It does happen.
I've heard stories before,
like anecdotally of people
that have kept it in the family,
that have dated someone.
Yeah.
Maybe it's the sister.
Yeah.
And then they've dated the other sister.
Yeah, I've heard that too.
I've heard that too.
And maybe it's all above board.
You know, like you broke up, it was all amicable,
and then you just decided to go with the older sister.
I've heard a story actually like this,
quite close to home from one of my best friends.
Oh, conveniently, he produces this show now.
Produce an EP.
Have you dated two people in the same family?
No.
Pardon?
No.
Oh, sorry, what was that?
Uh.
Eh?
Ooh, that feels like a.
Okay.
Is that a, ooh.
Sometimes he's very full of words a long time.
Now he's speechless.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, yeah.
That feels like a question mark on the end.
It feels like it should be a yes or no.
Were they twins?
Yeah.
Okey dokey.
Nipia, at two separate times.
Two separate times.
Dated very far apart
in years.
Oh yeah.
And then how did
the first twin take it
when you started
dating the second twin?
Didn't date the first one.
Oh.
Dated the second one.
But I was
very upfront.
I was very upfront.
Told them about it
and she still dated me.
What did you,
like if I'm thinking about myself,
if I've broken up
or not worked out with someone,
I'm not going for someone
that looks exactly like them again.
Well, why not?
It was so far apart.
Like it was,
I think there was like
a four year,
five year gap in between.
The looks obviously
were nothing to do with it.
He was attracted to the looks.
It was maybe the personality that was different.
Yeah, personality's very, very different.
Very different people as well.
I think this is more common than we think.
That's why we want to get you to call 0800-THE-EDGE, text 33343.
Okay, we want to talk about have you kept it in the family per se?
Have you dated somebody in one family and then ended up dating somebody else also in that family.
And my goodness, New Zealand's small.
That's the reason they call it two degrees, right?
Because it's hard.
It's hard out there to find somebody not in the same family,
apparently, according to everybody who's texting them.
We've unearthed something here, Meg.
We definitely have.
That's a worry.
This is my favourite text.
My grandfather was married to my grandmother.
All above board so far.
But before her, he dated her sister and her cousin.
Right.
Small town, man.
Small town.
Apparently he would always say he needed to do a few test drives
before he settled on the one.
Good old granddad.
Hopefully that wasn't the wedding vows.
Does it count when me and my twin swapped boyfriends?
We listen and we don't judge.
We were young and they still don't know.
I think that's, oh God. If I was a twin, you'd try it, wouldn't you? Like that's one of the
first things you do when you get to sort of that age. If you're an identical twin, that's
one of your superpowers, being able to swap and not know and the person doesn't know.
I still think you should probably let the person know that you're not the same person.
But you know what? I don't have a
twin and you're right. I probably would want to have a bit of fun
with it. My ex and I
broke up and then he got with my cousin.
Christmas lunch was very awkward.
Oh my god. And that's the thing, right?
You're setting yourself up for awkward family gatherings.
That's really what you're doing.
I dated one sister and then a few months later started seeing
her brother. It was good until everyone found out,
including myself.
So Beth's called through and I think she's talking from the perspective of the person that's being the datee.
Is that correct, Beth?
Yes, it sure is.
Okay, so what happens with you?
All right, so I was a bit younger and I was dating this boy.
And then my dad said, oh, you probably shouldn't hang around with him.
Oh, he's no good.
Don't like him.
Not good enough for my girl.
Bad influence.
No, he's like a...
Yeah.
I was the daddy's girl, so, you know.
So I broke up with him.
Good.
Good on you.
And then my sister ended up getting with him.
Right.
And then they ended up having a few kids together.
Oh. And are they still together now?
No, no.
Oh, Dad, Dad was right.
Dad was right.
Should have listened to Dad.
Dad, you.
Wow, did Dad tell...
I've got a bit more of a plot twist to it.
The oldest kid that they have is now in my custody as well.
I have both.
So wait, you have in your custody a child
that is your sister and ex-boyfriend.
My ex-boyfriend, yeah.
Incredible story.
And whereabouts do you live in New Zealand?
Old Town.
Oh, God.
Big Town.
Big Town.
It happens in all towns.
Lots and lots of options.
This was a Hamilton love story.
Oh, that makes a much better sense.
It started in Hamilton.
There we go.
There it is. There it is. Thanks Beth. Ali, what was your story about keeping it in the family?
Yeah, so my partner's uncle was trying to get into a lady and then the brother swept in
and managed to get him at first and then yeah, they ended up dating for years and then broke up.
And then the other brother won in the end.
Oh, jeez.
I was struggling to keep up then.
Okay, so they're still together now?
Yep.
So she's married to now the one that was first until the brother swept in.
Oh, my God.
These are the things that gets confusing, right?
God, how messy at the wedding.
Well, not messy. Maybe everyone's really mature about it. These are the things that get confusing, right? God, how messy at the wedding. Well, not messy.
Maybe everyone's really mature about it.
How are family gatherings?
Possibly not okay in the beginning, but, you know, work's at the end.
Time heals.
Time heals, Ellie.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Somebody texts and says, don't call back.
I've got my kids in the car.
I sleep with a guy my age, then six months later sleep with his uncle.
Oh, now those ones are always intriguing because there's a lot of age gap between a nephew and an uncle, right?
But you're going for the calf and then you're going for the bull, you know?
Oh, wow, that's one way to do it.
Yeah, it's happening a lot.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
Win a share of $50,000 with the edge cash-strapped.
Yeah, all you have to do is call 0800 The Edge or Texas 3343.
It is your last week to play Cash Strapped.
I will give you or offer you some money.
You can either take it or take what is strapped to Dan and risk it.
Jessie's playing this morning.
Hey, Jessie.
Morning.
What do you need money for?
Jess.
I backed over my flatmate's Dyson while I was cleaning my car.
Ooh, Dysons are expensive as well.
We don't want to back over a Dyson.
Trouble.
Do you think the vacuum, right?
Yeah.
What else would it be?
Yeah, the vacuum.
I was going to say, how did you...
Well, I don't know.
I thought it would be like a Dyson air wrap or something.
Yeah.
To clean her car.
Yeah, and I was vacuuming it.
She was blowing all the crumbs out of it.
Does your flight mate know that you've backed over it?
Has it already been?
Not yet.
Oh, really?
Oh, my goodness me.
So I'm looking at Dysons now.
They're like at least $800 on sale.
No, no, there's someone special for $600,
but it might be the cheaper option.
Okay.
The Dyson V8, absolutely, is on for $600.
You want the V10? Oh, shit.yson V8 is on for $600. You want the V10.
You V10.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, the V8's quite,
it's their base model
really.
It's still a Dyson though.
Do you know which one it is,
Jessie?
No, I don't.
I've been too scared
to look.
She can't see it now
because it's in pieces
so she doesn't really know.
Well, Jessie,
I won't be able to give you
enough money to buy
a whole new Dyson
but it will take
a little bit of the sting
off $250.
That's good. Okay. That'll get you a little bit of the sting off, $250. That's good.
Okay.
That'll get you a little bit of it.
She sounds disappointed.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
No, that's really good.
I'm very tempted.
Okay.
Well, it is up to you.
You can take the $250, or you can risk it and see what's strapped to Dan.
It could be more.
It could be less.
The chances are you could take the $250 and put that towards a Dyson, or the chances are
as well you could go to the strap, and you could instead not buy a new Dyson,
just buy the person a new car.
But Jessie, remember, you could also get like three bucks
and then be in, you know, the same position as you were before.
Yeah, true.
So what do you want to do?
I will...
I'll go with Dan.
Okay.
You're going to risk it.
You're going to risk it for the biscuit.
Jessie, Jessie, Jessie.
Risk it for the biscuit.
Oh, God, you're not even risking your money.
You're risking your flatmate's money in a way here.
Okay, here we go.
I'm going into the best.
Jessie, good luck.
She wants a Dyson vacuum cleaner.
She's risked, what was it, $250?
Yeah.
Risked it for the biscuit.
Jessie.
Yes.
I've seen the number.
You're not getting a Dyson.
But you could get a biscuit, I guess.
$18.
Oh.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Oh, that's okay.
I'm so sorry about that.
Jessie, buy her a bottle of wine on special.
And tell her after she's had it. Yeah. I'm a sorry about that. Jessie, buy her a bottle of wine on special. And tell her after she's had it.
I'm a good plant mate.
I think she'll forgive me, right?
Sure, sure, sure.
Or go to Briscoe's.
There's a sale on a ways there.
And get one of the cheaper ones.
Much cheaper.
$18 vacuum.
Good luck, Jessie.
I'm sorry my dahlia locked out this time.
That's the first time I've experienced that.
It's painful.
Disappointing.
That was horrific. It doesn't happen often, where it's been a whole thing. It's painful. Disappointing as well.
That was horrific.
It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
I hated that.
The Clint, Meg and Dan Podcast.
When it comes to inheritances, sorry,
it can be quite, I hate this, talking about this stuff, because I find it really sad when somebody passes away
and it should be about them,
their life,
and all of a sudden it turns to who gets what.
I find it one of the worst parts
of being a human.
I would prefer to like,
just step away
and not have anything.
But this recently happened.
Oh, you'd prefer to not get anything
in the inheritance?
Honestly,
then be fighting with family members
over money
because my nana died.
Yuck.
I'd step away.
If your brother got, say, $100,000, you'd be happy to just be like,
no thanks, it's okay, I want to have a nice day.
Well, I definitely wouldn't want to go to the lawyers and fight it
and be like, nana deserved to pay me more.
I'd be gutted to myself that she thought that.
That's more the reflection, isn't it?
Yeah, I'd be gutted to myself that she thought that I had a connection with her. Well,'s more the reflection, isn't it? Yeah, I'd be gutting myself that she thought that I had a connection with her.
Well, that's the argument, isn't it?
Because I've got a friend,
was actually my wife's friend,
who recently had their grandmother pass.
And they join us on the phone.
I'm not going to say their name,
but good morning, Anonymous.
Hello, you there?
Good morning.
Oh, yes, Okay, good.
So I'll let you tell the story because you got an inheritance,
but it's what your sister got that was a little bit different.
Yes, yes.
So my wonderful grandma passed away a year or two ago,
and I was the closest with Adam and my sister
and I got left to Mazda
Demio and my sister
got $50,000.
Wait a second, you were the
closest? Like you were genuinely?
I was the closest. Because that
far out there, that's hard man.
If you like...
Now we've talked about this quite a bit
you and I together,
and we've done a lot of Googling about Mazda Demios.
It's not even a very late model one.
It's like, it's worth probably like five grand.
Yeah, something like that, and it's an ugly pink colour.
Was it?
Oh, that's even worse.
But was it like, did she think that you'd want that,
like it was a special connection?
Yeah, was it?
Have you done some road trips together?
I don't know.
I always filled it up for her.
Which was in a way, she owes you money in a way.
It's so hard when you, gosh, I know,
because now I'm thinking about it,
I'm putting myself in this position,
and I'm saying, here I am, I'd walk away.
But it would be really hard if you were close.
It would be really difficult to be like,
what went wrong there?
Does Nana have a bit of dementia at the end?
Yeah, did she get the name wrong?
Yeah.
She was always crazy, but...
Oh, okay, well, maybe you don't deserve the kiss.
Yeah.
Maybe you don't deserve the kiss.
The thing is, I think this kind of thing
really separates
the favourites from the not favourites.
You know, when it comes to, maybe it's
grandkids, children, you know you're
the favourite when you get the best
inheritance. Don't you?
I mean, there's many ways of telling
if you're the favourite.
Yeah, I guess that is one way. You're right.
That is the final line in the sand, right? Of like, if you're the favourite. Yeah, I guess that is one way. You're right. That is the final line in the sand, right?
Of like, if you've ever wondered
if mum or dad or nana or granddad passed away
and then the inheritance comes through
and it's a very different number,
that is one way to definitely tell.
And it makes sense why your parents always tell you
try and get some more brownie points with the grandparents.
You know, you've got to stack up those brownie points.
But you shouldn't be doing this, tell you the truth.
No, just to be nice to your grandparents.
Of course, but also... Oh my God. just to be nice to your grandparents. Of course, but also.
Just to be nice
to your grandparents
is terrible.
How do you know
that you're not the favourite?
And it might not be
to do with inheritance.
It might be just something
completely different.
I know.
Maybe you've got like
an en suite in your bedroom
that your parents gave you
and your sister
has a tiny room
under the stairs
that's very Harry Potter-esque.
One of you got a car for your
18th and the other one got a bicycle.
I don't know.
How do you know you're not the favourite? How is it clear
to you? 0100 The Edge, you can text us 3343.
Wowie!
Oh my god, have we hit a nerve.
How do you know you're not the favourite? We were talking
about inheritances because that's what's happening with
Dan and one of his wife's friends at the moment
that something has come up with an inheritance
and one person got a car and one person got $50,000.
Bloody hell.
Okay, we're going to have to rip through some of these texts
because they're like ruthless.
I'm trying to stick up for some people.
I'm trying to like see both sides,
but there's no ways around it.
My two cousins were sitting in the back seat in the car with me.
My nana drove us to the warehouse.
She went in.
We were left in the car.
She came out and gave both of my cousins a PlayStation and gave me a bag of lollies.
What?
How is that real?
I need to know the context.
Was it their birthday?
Was it like, what it just, I don't know.
A lot of the time you do, yeah, we're not getting the context on the texts. Like maybe
they had a PlayStation already. Yeah, true.
And the other two, I kind of like the no context
though. For Christmas one year I got an
electric toothbrush and my younger sister
got a Samsung tablet.
Maybe
some electric toothbrushes can be pretty
expensive. Yeah, they can have it for a few hundred dollars.
What about this one boys? I got
a party thrown for me for my 21st by my family.
That's nice, isn't it?
Yeah, it's a lovely thing to do.
My sister got a trip overseas.
Ooh.
I prefer the trip.
Yeah, you would, but like parties can be so,
like were they providing, you know, drinks?
And you know, parties are expensive.
When it comes to kids, I always think
what happens to one kid has to happen exactly to the other kid.
Otherwise, you know, even if it's a monetary value, you know, it has to happen.
Otherwise, you get daddy issues and parent issues.
Okay.
What about this one?
Every Christmas, my sister got $50 from Nana.
I got five.
Oh!
That's 10%.
That one's so clear.
Yeah.
That's so blatant.
Okay, let's go to the phones.
Let's see.
Jacinda, how do you know you're not the favourite?
So, it actually wasn't me.
It was my mum.
So my dear Nana, she passed away.
She's been gone 10 or so years now.
She's the youngest of four, and the middle two benefited hugely.
They took a lot of sentimental things.
And there was also $17,000 unaccounted for.
Ooh.
So unaccounted for, so someone took it without the others knowing,
or she left it to them without them knowing?
So we're not 100% sure,
but we think maybe potentially one of the siblings might have pocketed that.
Oh.
Oh, we're doing cash.
We're doing cash.
While my nana was, yeah, that was while my nana was still alive.
Yeah, because old people do that, eh?
They like stash cash around their house.
I remember my nana.
Under the mattress.
She had it under her mattress.
Yeah.
By thousands of dollars because she didn't trust the banks.
All right, Justin, what did you get for your 21st birthday?
My father rang me and said, hey, what do you want for your 21st
birthday? I said, oh, like, I mean,
really wanted a TV cabinet.
And next minute I got sent an email
with a notification for one that was on
clearance for $260 at the warehouse.
Alright, but hey, you asked for a TV
cabinet, you got one. I did ask
for just a TV cabinet. The got one. I did ask for a TV cabinet.
Sounds good.
The only fun part was a year earlier, my stepsister for her 21st
had half the school show up for a $10,000 birthday party
and was given a two-bedroom apartment.
All right, well, Justin...
That's on you for not asking for that.
Yeah, but did she ask for the apartment?
No.
Okay, damn.
She's like, I want $10,000 spent on it and I want your apartment, Nana. And he goes, okay, well, Justin only asked for the apartment and the $10,000. No. Okay, damn. She's like,
I want $10,000 spent on it
and I want your apartment, Nana.
And he goes,
okay, well,
Justin only asked for a cabinet.
So that's,
yeah, that one's very clear.
Maybe it was because
she had hers first.
They exhausted all the money
and they're like,
oh, sorry,
you're going to get this now.
It's tricky, man.
And actually,
I'm glad we've got you, Son.
So I read this before,
Jess,
I read your text out
saying Christmas,
your sister got $50 from Nana
and you'd get five.
Was it ever explained?
No, never.
Oh, you poor thing.
But did your sister get, like, a bit weird?
Like, did she feel guilt and go,
hey, you have 25 of my bucks, like, nothing?
Yeah, my sister's always been really good like that.
She would share a little bit with me.
Oh, bless her.
But, yeah, listening to everyone else's stories
just reminded me
actually when Nana died.
She actually left
everything to just one of her sons,
my uncle, and my other
uncle and my dad, they got nothing.
Nana played favourites hard.
Nana played favourites.
Hey, you can't say Nana
Elizabeth. Sorry. Nana played favourites, hi. Nana was a bitch. Hey, you can't say Nana was a bitch.
Nana played favourites, it seems, Jess.
God, okay.
For sure.
For sure.
Oh, Nana, rest in peace.
I think when you're old, though, you can.
You've earned that kind of like...
No, look at the pain it's causing.
Stop it.
If I have more than one kid,
I'm going to leave it all to one
just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons.
Yeah, we do this every week. Stop it. If I have more than one kid, I'm going to leave it all to one just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons. Clint, Meg and Dan.
Spooky boo.
Yeah, we do this every week.
We do, and we're finally doing it with Cal,
who is our oldest Gen Z.
Yeah, you're in the older end of the spectrum.
Yeah, I think I just make it within like three years.
So this could prove very good for you.
It could indeed.
Just on the cusp.
I've never had five out of five.
So you can play along at home as well.
See if you can answer quicker than Cal.
Text 33343.
Here's your first question, Cal.
Who sings this song?
Oh my God.
God, I don't know.
Do you know the song?
I know the song.
Jump Jam.
Like a big Jump Jam song.
Who the hell sings it? Can I get like a, what does it start with? No, you don't. Jump Jam. Like a big Jump Jam song.

I would have said that.
No, you wouldn't have.
I would have.
Okay, that's two points.
Okay.
Daniel Loda was famous for what sporting event?
Iconic New Zealand.
Why are you putting sports on it?
This is bullshit.
Oh, but you should.
Daniel Loda.
Daniel Loda was famous for what sporting event?
In Kiwi.
You should be, like any New Zealander should know this.
Swimmer.

We want New Zealand to come together and reignite the spark.
If that is something that has been missing in your wonderful relationship,
other than that, and that can mean anything to you,
whatever that looks like of reigniting the spark.
We actually have some hotel stays to give away in Auckland and Queenstown
if you can get to those locations.
And the thing that is stopping you with your spark
is maybe your living environment at the moment.
Yeah, get a babysitter for the kids.
Yeah, if you've got kids.
Go into the hotel room.
That's great.
Love that.
We called my wife earlier this morning.
She's in.

There's another way
we can give them one away.

my own views,
you might disagree,
the sexiest song
ever written.
Okay.
I'd like to know
your thoughts actually.
3343,

It's getting a mixed bag
so far.
Alright.
God's business on the edge. Drink my forbidden wine

Wow, that was hot.
Sorry, the feedback has been, if Clint was singing it, it's too slow.
It's actually a bit fast for Dan, isn't it?
Yeah, it's always way too fast for me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This song is a vibe.
And what about your episode?
One person said uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable.
Sometimes uncomfortable is good.
Keith texted us hotel and then why you would like to have a hotel for the Big Bang tomorrow night.
But while I was on, Katie, congratulations.
You've got a little hotel stay.
I hear you've got a two-year-old and a four-year-old
that do co-sleeping.
We do, yes.
Yeah, nice.
Yeah, I do the same, and I am very excited for you.
Do you think you're here to babysit her, though, in a night?
Yes, we will be able to.
We've got a very supportive family, so that's great.
Yes, yes, yes.
Okay, Katie, you and your partner
get to stay at a hotel and have a little
staycation tomorrow night, okay?
Thank you so much. You're welcome.
We're going to have another
hotel stay to give away on our social media
so if you go to Edge Breakfast this afternoon

New World's Wonderful Wednesdays,
find your wonderful.
The Aotearoa 2025
Music Award nominations
have been released.
I've been running through them
this morning.
The best pop artist could go to Cassie Henderson.
Oh, she's had a great year.
She has indeed, eh?
Frankie Vento, I know you know her and love her as well, Cal.
Love Frankie Vento.
And Georgia Lyons, those are the three girls,
only three girls in the Best Pop.
To be fair, all three of those girls have had an amazing year.
I really do have a soft spot for Cassie, though,
because she's had such a long career leading up to this.
A really long journey, eh?
A really long journey,
and it's only just sort of started to kick off for her.
And I think the stayability that she's had in the industry
that is a very hard industry to stay in.
Yeah, it's very true.
We've seen many artists, you know.
Yeah, she really deserves it.
So some of the singles of the year that you might recognise
or up for single of the year, there's a lot in this category.
Cassie again, up for Seconds to Midnight.
Which is so cool because she wrote this about an ex
and it's just so, it'd be so satisfying.
It'd be so satisfying.
Okay, another one that is up for single of the year is Lorde,
Girl So Confusing, featuring Lorde, Charli XCX and Lorde.
That's up.
I mean, yeah.
I always find that that's a little bit unfair.
Because it was kind of Charli's song?
Well, no.
I think they probably worked on it equally,
but they would have had international help with that
because of Charli being on it.
Whereas all the other girls, you know, have kind of done it in New Zealand.
Cowboy Up
sorry
Bless Your Cotton Socks
Oh my gosh
with Kaylee Bell
I like her new single
that she's released
I've forgotten what it's called
but it's bloody good
she's so good
she's so good
and people up for
album of the year
you've got Kaylee Bell as well LAB people up for album of the year. You've got Kaylee Bell as well.
LAB is up for album of the year.
Troy Kingey, Tammy Nelson, Georgia Lines.
You see the music's in a good place at the moment.
We've got some really strong artists that are really punching.
Oh, and Benny's got a new song in the new Minecraft movie.
Does she?
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
What an international success from Kiwi artists.
I know that Georgia Lines has huge success in the country world internationally. Yeah. I didn't know that. What an international success from Kiwi artists. I know that Georgia Lions has huge success in the country world internationally.
Yeah.
So, yeah, look, I think it's anybody's game really, isn't it?
It is indeed.
It looks like, when are they actually coming out later this year?
Must be.
I thought you guys thought it was like a couple of months ago,
but yeah, maybe it happened at the end of the year.
I don't know if it just fell like that.
Nominations come out like a couple of months before the actual awards ceremony
yeah they have
announced the actual
day we'll see
wow
exciting
it's the 60th one
though
oh yeah May
oh gosh it's not
long at all
May
we're gonna find out
who wins what
and I'll have the
update when that
comes out
holy shit
you made it the
whole way through
if you want more
find them on
Instagram at
Edge Breakfast
