This is a podcast from Rover.
If this podcast was a person, it would be banned from family gatherings.
Oh, piss off, Uncle John.
This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
No, no mind.
Clint Megan Dan with Ash London.
The H. Brecky.
It's harder in Auckland.
One, two, three.
Oh!
Good morning.
Almost six o'clock on your Monday.
Only the second to last Monday before Christmas.
Happy Monday.
Well, it's actually two Mondays after this, if you count the Monday.
Bloody Monday, we come on here and have a fight
about how many bloody Mondays it is still Christmas.
I don't count the one we're in right now.
We're already here.
This is exactly how it plays out.
And then Clint says, I don't count the one.
It's not all about you, is it Clinton?
You know?
It's not all about you.
Seems not.
I'm so tired.
And I need to eat early today.
You know why we're all tired all three of us?
Because we all got off and watched the Formula One at 2 a.m.
Not worth that.
I got up later.
I got up at lap 30.
Yeah.
I wish I'd done that.
Yeah, we should have just slept through.
but you don't know if we'd slept through it
wouldn't have been it would have been a great race
I know that was my point
I was like if I wake up like you didn't actually lap 30
I'd be like well so what happens
the sonso's already out of the race
where's the crash show me the replay?
Isn't that so classic of Clint
that he knew that you and I would watch it
and he didn't want to be left out?
Yeah I know yeah I even text Dan and he wasn't text me back
I was like I'm going to be the only one watching it
and you guys are the ones talking about all the time
and then I was like you slept in
Dan wasn't texting me back so I was like fake fan
you're still asleep Dan
no I got up at 1 30
but I should imagine if we'd both slept through
I'm the only idiot watching the stupid race
where a guy finished third and still wins.
I know, anyway.
Anyway, we won't spoil it for you
if you're going to watch it late.
Yeah, too late because news go glended.
Yeah, thanks for that.
But then again, that's his job, so.
All right, um, 500 bucks for your rev-up track this morning.
Is it still going?
Yeah.
Where are you going to, oh, I was going to say, bloody.
I see you all calling.
Now I know you're there for first call of the day.
Don't go anywhere.
Shame.
Clint will give you five bucks.
How's that?
A fiver.
Yeah.
Okay.
Can't hold you on until I play this song?
Oh, God.
Honestly, check out.
Departure lounge.
She activated about a week ago.
You've got two more weeks to go, my friend.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
Time to jump into your 6am throwback.
Us versus the playlist.
Shouldn't be hard to beat this one.
This is one of my favorite songs ever.
Really?
Yeah, Sugar Babes.
Why?
I've picked it.
so good.
What's so good about it?
I love it just when it goes,
round, round, baby.
I just love the sugar bass also,
but I love this song.
I mean, it's a good song.
I wouldn't say it's best ever.
For me, this and all sense,
pure shores are like very the same.
Yeah, right.
Okay, well, I'm going to throw out
a throwback that also
is a Christmas song because we haven't played it yet.
I saw the beams
in the back of a car
with his wife, Haley.
And this song came on, and he was, like, singing.
But his voice is much deeper now, and I'd love to hear him re-record some of his old stuff.
I think we'd definitely play messful, too.
Yeah, I love this song.
The only birthday today is Nikki Minaj, who was born this day in 1982.
Oh, we can't base.
To that beat, beat, let's go go away.
Aye, what they're going to say?
No, I reckon let's play a Christmas song.
Let's play this.
We haven't yet, eh, and it feels like we're second week of December now.
It hits the throwback, the Christmas.
Sorry, Sugar Babes.
You're gone.
I mean, we need to do it all I want for Christmas as you at some point.
Oh, right.
That feels like a hit spot, Dan edition.
Oh, I'd love to.
We've done it before.
Oh, it was terrible.
All the one for Christmas.
It's DeBebvre's Missomtoe, your 6am throwbacks in all 1 him plus Christmas.
He's second week of December, and he was jamming out to this in the back of a van over the weekends.
Just sing it to his own song when it came on.
So he did he come on the radio or is he playing a Spotify playlist?
I don't know.
Okay, Siri, play Justin Bieber who's greatest heads.
I've always wondered that if I was a lot.
an artist like Justin Bieber, that prolific.
Would I listen to my own music?
I would. Of course you would.
Of course you would.
I remember asking Jason Duralo in an interview being like, you know, do you ever put your
music on, you know, when you're with a lady?
And he goes, no, I don't put it on.
But if it comes on, he goes, I ain't going to change it.
Brilliant.
What a great response.
I think it's a great response.
Yeah.
I don't specifically do it.
I want to find this bit of audio.
and I'll find it now
of this chat idea with Jason DeRolo
that he's so funny
he's like such a
we're talking about when he has girls over
and then he makes him making breakfast
and I was like
you can't do that bro
like
and his response was very funny
I'll find the audio
he's a meme hey
he's like a walking meme
because he's not really
you don't really see interviews with him
no often
like he's just this kind of guy
that you know writes and sings a banger
yeah you don't know him as like this
yeah I think like he's like
him and pit bull
and I'm trying to think of there's any others that just
they just know how to put out a bang every time
they get people on a dance floor
Jason writes incredible plot music
I think it's very underrated
but we don't take him seriously
I remember what was that tour we did
with Jason DeRullo who's here
and he was sort of
and we went on this like jet star flight
and he's obviously used to being on private jets and stuff
and he just sat up the front of the jet star plane
like a boss
paddle the legroom up the front
he definitely wasn't running solo on that jet star flight
was he? No that was a pack flight
I've flown on a flight with Jason Derulo before
You both flew business class, but
Oh
So you were the same as Dorolo
Ashley London
Were you sitting
Like behind it?
He must have been further up front than you
No, no, no, it was like Perth to Melbourne
So it was like a six-hour flight
And it was like an international plane
So all they had the beds
So it was like one-two-one
Or one-one one-one
and I was on the window and he was in the middle.
Wow.
Oh, so he had a middle row.
Yeah, but I like the window because I like to look at the window.
Yeah, okay.
And then his drummer held the flight up
because his drummer refused to let someone sit next to him in economy
and it was a full flight.
And the guy's like, this is my seat though.
And he's like, I don't care.
So then like the flight attendants has to come over
and then the captain had to come over.
Oh, you know when the captain comes out of the cockpit
to tell something that's bad?
Yes.
And I felt so sorry for this poor punter.
then when the guy finally let him sit there,
he had to spend six hours sitting next to him.
Nightmare.
I'd get kicked off a flight for the drummer of Jason DeRullo.
At least that's the story you can tell your grandkids.
Yeah. When you get asked to do two truths one lie?
You've got a good story, I guess.
I always think there's something really shitty happens to me.
Well, that would be great for two truths one life.
And then you always forget it.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Good on him.
Yeah.
All right.
We've got first call of the day coming up next.
I'd love to chat with you, especially if you've never called the show before.
but see what's going on with your life
in the lead after Christmas.
Tell your best story.
Maybe you were kicked off a flight
from Jason Drullo's drummer.
Yeah, all keyboardist.
Yeah.
The keyboardist not name.
No, no.
Doesn't have the same matter.
No one's getting kicked off for a keyboardist.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
First call of the day.
First call of the day.
How does our producer Carl get through life,
hey?
Yeah, sometimes he could write some information
about the call that we go to in this segment
and he's written Job Works at a Source Factory,
but spout source.
S-A-U-S-E.
It's so cute.
It makes me love him even more, saucy.
Morning, Cookie.
Good morning.
How are you guys?
Good.
All right, I'll ask, how'd you get the nickname Cookie?
Maybe it's her name.
Oh, it's a bit of a long story for many years ago,
so I don't know if it's radio safe.
Okay.
Oh, right.
It's not radio safe because it's really long or because it's really rude?
I'll leave it up to the imagination.
Oh, okay.
I went to boarding school, and a lot of Asian girls have got to choose
their own name, and there were sisters, and they were candy and cookie.
Oh, cute.
Oh, my God.
What did you always write, Cookie?
I think I can guess which one the stripper was.
Neither of them was stripper is that are like year seven.
Jesus, God.
Who's name is how, like, candy?
Because they've come to a country who they don't speak the language, and they've gone.
Someone should have given her a heads up and gone, yo, unless you plan on, pick another name.
What is your actual name, Cookie, if you don't mind me asking?
It's legally cooking now. I've changed it on everything, birth certificate, driver's license.
Really?
How long have you legally been cooking for?
Almost two years now, I think.
Now be honest, have you changed it because you're on the run from some shit?
No, thankfully not.
Oh good, okay. You don't have to like witness protection.
When you work in a sauce factory, what condiment are we talking about?
What sauce?
Oh, everything. We do everything from like salad dressings to the best type.
of aoli's and burger sauces
and all the good stuff
you need to feed the backs up on the edge here
yum I love a sauce
I'll take any condom it literally
I've never met a sauce I didn't like
yeah hook some like aoli to my veins
eh that stuff do you know what I want
I want them to just start bottling
southwest sauce that you get in subway so you can buy it
in stores what's that vibe? The southwest
sauce is the abyss
what's the vibe of it? It's orange
it's a little bit spicy and tangier
oh I'm into that yeah
It's so good.
What's your favourite sauce of all time, Cookie?
It's got to be an aoli that we do.
If I'm going to plug it, I'll plug it.
It's called Pepper and Me, Aoli Grale, and it is topped here, Aoli.
Jesus, that sounds delicious.
I recommend trying it.
So it's a bit peppery, a bit aoli-ish?
Is that what everyone's getting for Secret Sanda from you, Cookie?
Just like a three-pack of different sources?
I mean, I hope no one I'm related to us listening, but 100%.
Yeah.
You'd know that she works with them, so you'd know that she'd know that she spent nothing, you know?
Oh my gosh, guess what cookie?
It's like a little addition.
I've just looked up the Aoli grill.
I've tried it before.
It's absolutely delicious.
Okay.
Incredible, right?
Yeah, it's roasted garlic.
Okay, so if you...
Oh, yes, that's the one.
It's so good.
If you want to get your hands on that, where do you get it?
Is it like all good supermarkets?
What do you have to get it online?
I think you get it in New World.
I believe Farrow sells it.
Otherwise, there are a lot of online places.
New World does a lot of the other brands of their stuff,
but I'm not sure if they've got these.
the Aoli Grail, but I recommend everyone try it.
Come on.
How on hell of an ambassador for your business.
Well done, Cookie.
Love you, darling.
Don't make this the last time you call us.
What was that, sorry?
It doesn't matter.
Yeah, no, she said, don't make this the last.
I'm not make this the last.
Yeah, we'll give you a voucher to go spend and store.
Zed, whenever you like, Cookie.
Thanks for calling, babe.
Incredible.
Thank you so much.
Have a great day, guys.
I love you do.
Zed has a raspberry and rhubarb refresher on their menu.
If you guys could choose your name.
again, what would you choose? She's just legally changed it. I've always
wanted to be a Zoe, because I think Zoe
suits me more than Ash. You'd suit a Zoe.
Thank you.
Igor.
Igor? No.
I didn't suit an Igor.
I haven't really thought about it.
Jeff? He'd be a Jeff.
No, he'd need something like,
like Kai or something.
Oh yeah, I don't mind that. I thought you were going to go with Kyle?
No, not Kyle, Kai or Kai.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't mind that, actually.
I'm a Maverick.
Coming up next.
You are so much more a goose than a mammarch.
If I ask people, goose or mammarch,
I don't want to agree with you, but I have to.
95% of people who I gave them multi-choice with go goose.
Hey, as long as I'm in the plane, I'm happy.
I'm just in the back seat.
I'm just talking about it.
You're in the plane.
You're the flight agenda.
Hello, everybody.
We've got chicken or fish.
Do you want the cassava chips this morning?
You're in the plane, Dan, but only for half the movie, sorry, buddy.
Clint Megan Dan
Leshco
Gossip of entertainment
Clint Megan Dan
with Ash London
Scandal
I'll do a shout out to Kerry
who's texted through
at 3 3343
She said Ash
The Christmas Barn by Palmerston
Has loads of road
They're not rodent
Ordomans
But thank you Kerry
I'll be looking them up
What is it about the rodents
And the Christmas tree
That appeals to you
It started when we were in
We before we had Buddy
Used to go to Italy
a lot for Christmas, because that went to Christmas.
As you do, yeah.
Don't play the Unrelatable thing.
You're Unrelatable.
And we'd go to Christmas markets, and I'd love Christmas markets.
And then a couple of years ago, once I just came across this, like, rat dressed up as an elf or something, and I just fell in love with it.
And Adrian said, you can't buy a rodent for the tree.
And I was like, I'm buying it.
Anyway, hey, don't interrupt her scandal story that she's prepped for us for the segment that we do at
6.35 every day.
Share, 79 years old, one of the biggest pop stars on the planet.
Rumored to be marrying her 39-year-old boyfriend on her 80th birthday.
Oh, yeah.
His name is Alexander Edwards.
He looks like a cool dude as well.
He's so hot.
Yeah.
So hot.
Why would you be getting married if you share at 79 years old?
What's the point?
She'd be loaded.
I'm going to Google her net worth now.
All so much money.
What's he do?
He's a fashion designer, isn't he?
I thought he was a producer.
Probably does both.
Yeah, let's say.
He's a mobile.
He's skilled, slushy.
He's just gorgeous.
And they seem to genuinely love each other.
Whenever they're hanging around, there's just like
so much love between them.
Well, she's had a few husbands or partners before, hasn't she?
I know her first husband.
Yeah, Bun, what's his name, Sunny Bono?
Sonny Bono.
Yeah, so it was sunny and sheer.
He's skied into a tree, didn't he?
Like died.
Is that how he died?
Yeah, he was not good to her.
Skied into her.
Yeah, they went skiing and he was,
yeah, it just went too fast.
But I mean, I think that's what Believe is about.
You know, I believe in her song.
Yeah, it's like, is it about her?
Yeah, but he was bad.
He was not nice to her.
Wasn't he?
No, I think he was not a good husband.
But, yeah, no.
So now she's with this guy, and I reckon he's after his money, surely.
She would have her money locked up so tightly.
He ain't getting a penny.
Nearly $400 million she's got locked up.
Damn.
You'd be worried if you with the kids.
because he'd be like, hey, mum, like, come on, be smart here.
Yeah, I doubt he's getting a penny.
You'd give him a millie, though.
Yeah, get something.
Give him a millie.
If it was your life partner and you were marrying them.
Yeah.
You're not going to leave them high and dry.
No.
And she's got 400 million and there's enough to go around.
It's like Travis Kelsey was doing an interview with George Clooney over the week,
and it was talking about how they never have arguments.
Taylor Swift and home.
And I was like, you would never argue with someone that's worth $1.6 billion.
No, I saw a meme that said, hey, if me and my partner had 1.6,7 billion, we wouldn't
fight either, especially if my share of that was the 0.07 part of the billion.
Also, I think most couples argue about money or money makes life stressful than you argue.
Yeah, you see that.
The number one thing people fight over is finances.
It's true.
You don't have any, you don't have that giant color.
I also read, speaking of Taylor Swift, she wanted to.
to get married on June 13, because 13 is her lucky number.
And there's a hotel next to her beautiful house in Rhode Island,
but a bride had already booked the day.
So she got in touch and offered them like a shite load of money.
And they were like, yep, take the day, baby.
Of course you would.
You'd give it to Taylor's just for the story.
Yeah.
And then that your wedding's now paid for.
I mean, if they're getting married on Rhode Island, they'll be rich anyway.
It's very true.
Yeah.
So you'd have to offer them a lot of money.
How much would you do?
I do it for like 100 grand probably.
But if it was Taylor Swift, we'd be like a million bucks.
Yeah, because you know you could get it.
She's like a million.
You don't take the first offer.
Put it that way.
When I booked my wedding, I booked it at this sick place.
We had like 300 people.
And they accidentally double-booked us because there's two venues, the big bit and the small bit.
And there was a small wedding on the same night.
And the bride, like, lost it what she found out.
Fair enough.
And I, like, sent her my schedule.
I was like, oh, we'll do everything at different times.
I'm happy to like, oh, I won't have any music playing during your thing, yada, yada, yada.
And she was like so mean.
so rude and she cancelled and I was like
Right Zilla, good on her.
And we're going to dust off
one of the great moments from last year
next. We're working on a new
Christmas song for our final week of the year.
Say we, Dan's done it all.
I wrote our verses for us and we'll write a verse. He's like, no, I've written
them all.
Producer Neepia did the music and I don't want
He's not denying it.
I don't want your sloppy little fingers
on my song.
Dan Podcast. We look forward to debuting
a brand new original Christmas song
for you next week because that'll be our final week.
He'll be debuted for us as well because Dan
let us be a part of it. No, you'll be
a part of it. I've got Ash on BVs
and clearly you're doing like a couple of... BVs.
So you get to write it and be the lead vocalist.
No. We were supposed to have
a verse each.
And you will. What am I getting?
You might get a couple of do-wops.
Do-wops.
No, you're not doing any of your gang vocals
buddy. You have a verse each.
Of course she will.
So kind of you to let us be part of it.
I mean, that's a borderline and the other celebrities pull out.
But I mean...
You know what?
I had some pretty big celebrities ready to go that said they'd do it.
But I'm not going to tell you, because I said I'd written them a verse.
Tell them, you don't get Guy Sebastian, unless you get a verse.
Okay, that's exactly what we're dealing with here.
Okay, well, if you can get Guy, you can have a little bit of summon.
No, I want to write my...
Well, now I know yours will be better than mine because you're a better songwriter than you.
Oh, I've got Delta Good.
but she said she's not doing it
unless I'm on it. Okay, well then
she can get stuff. And I've got
Celine Dion and Celine Dion said
she'll do it as well
but only if Dan has nothing to do with it.
If you can get Celine Dion I'll step
back and she can do the whole thing.
Dan would still think about it though, I think for a while.
The glory. Yeah. You know what to make
it sound better? Selina, a bit of me behind you.
And so obviously in the lead-up
in the anticipation for this new original song
we thought, hey mate we spent a long enough
time making songs last year.
We should dust those off
and give him another spin this week.
Yeah.
So, Dan, I'm gonna,
I'll give Dan's a spin first.
Okay.
Wasn't it called Naudilist?
Usually you save the best to last,
but yeah, go ahead.
True colors are coming out, aren't they?
Christmas is supposed to bring out
the most altruistic, generous parts of us.
I don't know what altruistic means.
Like doing things for others.
I'm going to take it as a compliment.
Okay, this is Norty List by Dan Webby.
Probably first play for you, actually, Ash.
I haven't had any of this.
Have you sort of go on and go on to that?
I didn't know you guys existed until July 13th, the day before I started.
That's when her life actually begun.
And she realized how good radio could be.
It's true. I'm ashamed to admit that is true.
And you know how our songwriters sort of explain the meaning behind a song?
This is sort of like about if you're on them.
Sometimes you need to explain it.
I'm sorry, I'm going to be nice to do that.
It's quite highbrow.
It's like the inception of music.
All right.
I'm just going to play it.
This is Dan's Christmas song from 2024.
And next week's song
Should be bigger and better than this
If you don't understand it
Just DM me and I'll let you know
It's just
Merry Christmas
Only two weeks to go team
It's Christmas
I've been bad
I've got no presents
In Santa Sack
Don't like for worse
You're out of luck
Because being good
I'm beautiful
I don't care of
About this Christmas
Too late to bed
For forgiveness
Sorry, son about this year
I've been very naughty
texting all the girls
So the misses get so shitty
Going out to parties
Organized by P. Diddy
Pour me a stiff drink
Cause we're getting sneaky
Sorry sad about this year
I've been very naughty
No one day
I don't eat
Keeps
bad
At dinner time
I don't eat my veggies
Running round
Giving children wedgies
No place for me
In the present hunt
Because this year
I've been to come
I don't care
Christmas, too late to bed for forgiveness.
Sorry, Santa about this year, I've been very naughty.
All those synthesis growing my own marijuana.
Cause this year I've been as bad as Jeffrey Dahmer.
Underneath a mistletoe, yeah, we're getting seen.
Sorry, Santa about this year, I've been very naughty.
Like me up and throw away the king
I've been very non-a-na-na-a-da-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
Low, as of Dan's ever done, like 90% of the stuff he sang about that song.
He spent that whole song, mouthing the words, still remembers them a year on, and dry-humping.
Yeah, just like thrusting the air in front of the producer.
Sam message in saying the production could do.
bit of work on this one but hey I didn't
produce it
he's throwing Grant under the bus now
Grant the most talented person in this building
yeah he makes all of my show
has rolled so many of Dan's turds and glitter
this year it's not funny
he's out of glitter even the greats have a couple of
fingernails yeah
that was really good that was funny
yeah it was fun I love making a Christmas
song yeah we all had to
get somebody on it so that was Mitch James if you didn't
recognize that voice doing the chorus helping out
yeah he probably could have had a couple more lines but anyway
Yeah, Dan got the professional musician
And then just gave him like some BVs
I know, yeah
So we'll play Climps tomorrow
Doesn't deny it
It's true
Yeah, it turns out both of our songs
Got Beat by Meggs anyway
Yeah, her one was very heartfelt though
That's nice
Meg's gonna be on the show tomorrow guys
By the way
Are you all miss her very much
I've got to get a camera shoved up my ace
For fun?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That's what I say, what's up there.
Oh, it's just good to take stock at the end of the year.
I'm using an iPhone camera.
Clint Megan Dan.
StinkyBee.
Realised we missed naughty 640 this morning.
How very dear.
I kind of had a little bit of a naughty 640, actually.
Well, but I was actually a good boy, despite the naughtiness that was going on.
Oh, yes, I know where this is going.
Oh, what's he done?
Yeah, there was a stag do that I was going that I went to on Saturday
before the AFC Wellington football game.
and the stripper was going to be there at 1.30,
and then anyone else who wanted to arrive later could arrive at 2.
What is it about a 30-sharp?
Nothing sexier than watching a stripper with your mates at 1.30 p.m. at a soccer club.
I agree. What is it what Stag do is in a stripper?
I know. So my wife was respectfully asking me if I could sit that part out.
I said, sure, babe. That's what you want. No dramas?
So then I got there at 2 o'clock and all I heard was a bunch of hip-hop.
playing up in the club and a lot of, yeah, yeah!
And I was like, okay, I think she might still be dancing.
So I just sat down in the club rooms where we normally get changed before I match.
And then I just sent you guys a video of me being a good boy, just sitting there on my own.
Did the sign of the cross?
Good on your time.
I didn't know what, while you were there at that very time, I was off to Westfield to get some things,
and I looked like absolute shit, like so bad.
And I thought to myself, I hope I don't run into Jamie because that woman is a 10 all the time.
I've never seen her not look stunning.
Face perfect, hair perfect, outfit cute.
I look like I've just been run over.
And sure enough, at Westfield, walking around, buddy's having a meltdown.
Who do I see?
Jamie, look at home.
I mean, anyone looks a bit ugly next to Jane.
So, Ash replied to my video and she was like, hey, I just saw your wife in the supermarket.
She's a 10. It's worth it.
It's worth sitting on the stripper for that when you get home.
I saw one of the other guys from the Stagg that Clip was on,
and he said that Clint just disappeared just for the photo
and then came back up and got to laugh at that's what I heard.
He was the first one to get a lap here, apparently.
I don't know what happened,
but the Stag ended up having to do a nudie run
because he also didn't score a goal that season.
If you don't score, you do a nerdy run.
So he stripped down and did a nerdy run across the football pitch,
and his body was covered in like red welts and scratches
and all sorts of stuff, so I don't know what she did do him upstairs,
but it didn't look like he probably enjoyed a lot of her.
So I heard Clint put a $50.
No, under a G-banger, it's showing a good time.
Whatever.
All right, let's see if we can get away $1,000 with easy money next.
And then I'll be Uber on the way of whom.
He's like, show to the Lord all the earth, let us sing.
Just trying to get the good, you know, karma back.
You can't just sing one Christian song and get away with a strip.
Clint, Nick and Dan, The Edge, 1K, E, Z, money.
Practice makes perfect, and now you can play anytime online.
Just got one past seven.
If you want to win a thousand bucks right now, thanks to Novice Glass.
0800, The Edge.
Give us 10 answers in 30 seconds, starting with the latter.
Ash, gives you the money's yours.
You can't pass, but no repeated answers.
Playing this morning from Christchurch.
Nikki, good morning.
Good morning.
Oh, you work as a centre manager at a preschool.
We do find people that work at, like, schools, primary schools typically.
Yeah.
Yeah, do very well in this game.
Fast thinkers.
Okay, no pressure.
No pressure.
Well, as always, I love it.
this happens, it's a good sign. Your letter today, Nikki is N. N for Nikki.
Good. Oh, okay. Are you ready to rock? I am, yeah. Okay, beginning with N. Can I please have
a boy's name? Nicola. An active wear brand.
Pass. A personality trait.
Nervousness. A place.
Nelson. Something people are afraid of.
Pass. A boy band.
In sync.
Something you throw away.
Nasty stuff.
A three-letter word.
Now.
A plant.
Nisthusia.
Up at time, Nicky.
Seven, not bad, Nicky.
Nike.
Nike?
Yeah.
Oh, Nike.
When you're in the head of the moment.
Of course.
People are afraid of needles.
Nightmare.
Produce Carl.
When you did the first question, a boy's name and you see.
said something else.
Neepia led out a massive F-bomb when it wasn't his name.
Oh, Neeps.
We know you was bleepie.
It's not about you, Neeps, is it?
Yeah, Dad.
Sorry, Nicky.
You have a Merry Christmas, though. Thanks for playing,
both.
Oh, good. Thank you so much.
See you, mate.
Back again at 8 o'clock.
All thanks to Novice.
Windscreen, triple, crack.
You can contact your local Novice Glass branch.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Do you guys heard about the bird test?
No, it was the first I've heard of it, Clint.
Okay. If you're wondering...
What's the bird, is in, like, tweet, tweet, tweet.
birdie
like an actual bird
it's just a question
you throw out to your partner
and you just say
oh my gosh I forgot to tell you
I saw a bird today
it's all you have to do
and then their response
either where they accept the invitation
to have a conversation
go oh my God like tell me about it
versus oh cool
and then they're just not interested
and they reckon it's these little moments
of interaction and connection
and we either accept them
for a chance to converse with our partner and engage,
or we, I guess our response can be like a bit of a dead end.
It doesn't go anywhere.
This is a tricky one because my wife Hannah, love her to bits.
But she loves birds to the point where she listens to the national radio station in the morning
because they do a different bird call of the day.
And so if I go, I saw a bird today, of course her ears are going to prick up
because it's her favourite topic.
Her Kedaridu is her favourite animal.
Really?
They say it's called turning toward your partner
and those that turn toward their partner
more often in a relationship
have a better chance of success.
So here's an example from somebody
who's tried the bird test
and this is I think what not to do.
Oh my gosh, I forgot to get in the phone.
I saw a bird today.
Wow.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
He does a hell yeah.
And then walks out of the house.
People are, like, coming to his defense, being like, yeah, he's on his way to work.
He's like, I got to go.
Like, tell me about it when I got more time.
This is how you pass the bird test, gentlemen.
Babe, I saw a really cute bird today.
Did you really?
Yeah.
They have really sick birds here.
Mm-hmm.
Was it a Baltimore Oriole?
That's fake.
I'm not sure.
That's a fakedest shit I've ever heard.
And also, no, I'm sorry.
He's so keen on birds.
It's like he's Robert Erwin.
It's a fake video.
Why are you so bad if he was?
What is fake and what is a.
Just because your husband wouldn't care of that much
doesn't mean that he's fake.
But if he turned around and went,
oh really, babe, tell me about it.
I'd be like, calm down, a loser.
Clint sent us a video the other day
of a little seal jumping onto a boat for safety
out of getting chased by a shark or something.
And he was like, look at this, it's amazing human safety.
They do that.
Seals do that.
It was AI.
It was like so AI.
I feel bad, like telling you, babe.
At the end, the seal like smiles at the camera.
And he still thinks it's like a, yeah.
It did not.
a peace sign. They're only giving it away.
Yes. Okay.
Right. Well, we are all going to secretly
record our partner
and say, we saw a bird today
and see what their response is. And then find
out if they actually turn toward us and if
our relationship's going to make it or not. The thing is
mine will sound fake because Hannah loves birds.
So I'll go, I saw a bird today. She'll go
where? Where? How?
Well, you just told me that guy was fake. And now you're
telling me people do react like that. Yeah, but
that's different because it's a wife. And
it's specifically a wife that's really into
Birds. Maybe that guy in the video is obsessed with birds, I would believe it.
It might be.
It just sounded fake.
If I went home today and went, I saw a car today, which is the equivalent of what Hannah would just go, oh, I'm cooking dinner.
She genuinely couldn't kill less.
Adrian might be like, was she hot?
Because often, I don't know if it's a key we think, we tell.
This bird, sorry, bird, he'd be like, oh, lady.
Knowing Adrian, that's probably what he would say, sexist.
Not sexist, he's just very horny.
Just always sacks on the brown.
I know, so that's clear.
I've got them.
My work husband, my real husband.
Similar guys.
All right, give it a good.
If you like, it'll lead up to Christmas.
Thank you for what you wish for.
Twelve days of Christmas faves up next.
We're going to look back at the year that has been.
So fun.
Unwrap some old gifts that hopefully this show has given you
over the last 11 or 12 months.
Give us a clue of what this is going to be this time.
The guys tell me, producer Nipia.
Hey?
Oh, he's got an intro.
There's a wee intro there for you, Clint.
On the Thursday of Christmas,
Edge Breakfast game to me,
Clint's parents getting freaky.
Oh, cool.
Very good.
Cool, so it's my parents talking about sex.
Oh, yes.
Basically, whenever we get them on, they do that.
Gives me hope for the future, though.
So I had to live this once,
and now I've got to relive it and replay.
What a wonderful theory of parents steal bone.
Thanks for the highlight, Nipia.
What a privilege.
Oh, good brother.
Clint Meg and Dan.
Oh, it's exciting.
There's only two more official weeks before I think most people knock off on the 19th.
Although some of us are working right up by us.
I don't mean me.
I mean, mate, you.
Shoutouts to Buddy's Kendi teachers.
Yeah.
Working through to Christmas Eve.
Yeah, there's some Soul of the Earth battleers out there that will even work Christmas Day.
You know, to keep this country running and we love you.
If my Kendi was open Christmas Day, I'd be dropping Buddy off.
All right, so we're doing our 12 days of Christmas faves.
On the first day of Christmas, it's breakfast game.
me
Clint's parents
getting freaky
Great
And this was a moment
We had
It was before you were on the show
Ash
And we did this thing
called The Big Bang
I remember this
I remember listening to this
What you're about to play
In the kitchen
While making
Breakfast for Adrian
Did you partake in the Big Bang?
I think we may have
It was just a day right
Where if you were
Going through a bit of a lull
You could
Maybe use it as a conversation starter
To get back on the horse
I love it
I think it was a great idea.
Reignite the spark in a relationship.
Hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders around the country, Patokin is, you know.
And two of those people were Clint's beautiful parents, John and Christine.
It's a normal Wednesday for them, wasn't it?
Yeah.
And the day after the Big Bang Day, we gave them a call to see how things went.
So I get to relive this again.
Thank you so much, guys.
The Big Bang went down around the country yesterday.
A lot of people took part just to get back on the horse.
Come on, girl.
Reignite that spark
This song is almost illegal, eh?
How?
Modern day, Perry White.
What about this one?
My ex stayed over last night
happened to be the Big Bang also.
So we decided we had to take part.
Now he's rung me twice this morning.
Ghost mode activated again.
Right.
He's going to get the memo
that it was just a one-night only thing.
Ghost mode.
And the guy that I'm most interested
to hear from, calling him now,
On Randall Clint's dad.
He was very excited about...
Hello.
Oh, he's happy.
He's out of Perky, John.
Oh, yeah.
I won him a few hours ago.
I was quite exhausted.
Oh, God.
Who enjoyed it more, in your opinion, John?
You were your beautiful wife and Clint's mum, Christine.
I think I did.
Yes.
No, I certainly think I did.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Amazing.
I'm a, too on a year.
Where is mum?
I'm exhausted.
Okay, she's dead so.
I only do this once a year.
Oh, we know that's a lie.
No, she's asking us to only do this once a year.
Oh, right.
Okay.
I just think this is the best thing that you guys have ever come up with.
I can't read.
Ted doesn't need encouragement.
Oh, I love you guys.
You guys are the best.
Good on you.
I am so, if I was Clint, I'd be really happy to have parents like you guys.
It's a nice though when you guys did, you did it with your wife and your parents did the same night.
It's real mixed emotions for me.
It's hard to know what I feel.
Oh, that's right, because you did it as well.
Clint was your family.
A few nights.
Clint, I'm happy to hear you're still having sex when you're almost 40.
Okay.
Mom gets annoyed that I shocked that she's still doing it.
I'm like, no, Mom, I'm not shocked you're doing it.
I'm just shocked you still telling me about it.
Going on you guys though, Christina.
I think he's got a long career left.
A few years left
The Edge Breakfast
Oh, thank you so much for that trip back
No Memory Lane, guys
They're so cute
They're lovely family out there, the Randalls
Yeah
I'm still stupid in 20 years
You will be
You will be
Boring
Yeah
I mean not many people are doing it
As often as Christine and John
No, I'm certainly not
Yeah
Well the 12 days of Christmas faves
Will continue tomorrow
With another highlight from the year
That has been
It's been a big year
In fact, some of the stuff
that we were looking back on
We were like, that was this year
I know
I think it's
lots of people out there
that if you're listening
right now
you probably think
it has been a long year
for a lot of people
A long ass year
that's right
but we're nearly at the end
Do you know who it's probably
been the longest year for
is our mate Willie Wairoha
who are we going to get on next
the bro has been running
over a thousand days
where he clocks 10Ks or more
every single day
He's going for a world record
isn't he?
Yeah but then
we're going to get him on next
we caught up with the actual
current record holder
of what was
I guess online says 1,107 days running 10Ks or more, Chad, from the US.
Turns out he says the actual record is a lot longer than that.
So our mate Willie may have a few more days to go if he wants to beat the record.
Clint, Megan Dan.
You know what's not easy?
Getting a hold of bloody Willie Wairo?
Clint's been like, he's my mate, he's my mate.
He's going to answer his calls.
He was expecting us to call.
He said, yeah, and he's kids, king.
Yeah, he was like, yeah, bro, 745.
He's, yeah, he's called him.
Nah, nothing.
So, you know what?
We're eight minutes early.
He might have set a 740 alarm.
Oh, yeah, we're a little early.
I would do that.
Tell you what, if he doesn't get back to us in 10 minutes,
he's missed his opportunity to plug his new vodka line as well.
Oh, bugger.
I'll be plugging an absolute vodka if he doesn't call for it.
Yeah, absolutely.
Weirdly, you've kind of plugged it now, though, Clare.
No, no, I haven't seen what it is.
Yeah, it's right.
But I saw the ad that he put up over the weekend.
Very well done.
We'll stop talking because you sort of plug it.
Yeah, exactly.
Ash, since been on the show, has cried how many times.
Do you think, Dan?
It's averaging one a day at the moment.
So I'd say at least how long you've been on four months now?
Five months, I think.
Yeah, I'd say at least 50 times.
That's bad maths.
No, no, because it has it.
Five months, 30 days.
Now she knows us well.
She's got comfortable and now it's every day almost.
It's 20 shows a month.
I've done 100 shows and I reckon out of those half off crime.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, okay.
All right, like every second day.
Yeah.
So my math is mathing.
Good.
Well, you said every day.
Okay, boys.
And then Asch just said 100 days and he said 50s.
Just those lips.
Anyway.
Anyway, I found it quite endearing in the beginning
because Ash, she just feels things like me.
She starts feeling things really intensely.
And so therefore it makes you emotional.
And I was like, oh, that's really cool.
I mean, also it's a double-edged sword
because I guess when amazing things happens,
you feel them intensely.
But then also when bad things happen,
we can just like, you know, dust it off,
whereas you can't.
I get that.
the same way. That's pretty much Megan I's
whole relationship is just tagging
each other in crying things
and then sending each other filthy DMs
about what we're going to do to the other person for making
that person cry. Yeah, I mean you're mega
very similar in a lot of ways and very different but your
Venn diagram crosses over and the
crying as well within that Venn diagram.
And Ash cried this morning
and it was around the Formula One race.
And after 24 rounds, Lando Norris is the
Formula One world champion.
Then, Norris wins the title.
And you're not a big fan, I'm not a Norris fan,
only because he's the first driver of McLaren
and the number two driver is Oscar Piastri, an Australian lad,
who I was really gunning for.
And some would say McLaren has favoured Norris.
Oh, not some would say, everyone would say.
So your arch nemesis wins Formula One,
so you think Ash is going to be delivered.
And then Lando Norris hugs his mum at the end,
who God knows what she was doing with her hair.
around those scrunchies.
She's one of those people that she looks like
she's a little bit arty-farty.
She could work in like a...
Like a not shop.
Yeah.
Her name's Cisca.
Cisca.
Anyway, Lando hugs his mum, as you do.
Look at that.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
Okay.
So mum's not crying.
She's just saying enjoy, enjoy.
Enjoy.
Ash, watching a little low in New Zealand on a TV is in tears.
Blubbering this.
Yes.
Because I just can't imagine how...
I can't imagine.
imagine how proud you'd be of your child
like you'd know how hard they worked
and like all the hard work
and like missing out on so much
to do that it's all you can hope
that your child find something they love
and they're good at it
and I just are bald
I don't even like the guy
I mean like to get to the world champion
of any sport whether it be Polvoort
or whether it be you know Formula One
it's a very hard
like a lot of sacrifice
it's taken him 16 years to get there
so you're picturing your little buddy
four years old in this helmet
And you being so proud of him.
If I would let him race a car.
When he's in his 20s, you're like, no.
Golf, tennis or chess.
Take your pick, buddy.
That are your options, bro.
I think you'll find that more people die from golf than Formula One.
I think you'll find there'll be stats out there that people get hit on the head with golf.
But only because more people play golf.
So Ash cried watching a race car driver that she doesn't know and doesn't like
hugging his mum after victory.
And I think in the five months that's the lamest thing.
I've heard you or seen you cry over.
Yeah, look.
It wouldn't, yeah, there'd be more lame things, but I just, you know.
More lame things in your life that we don't know about?
Oh, poor Adrian.
There's a McDonald's ad that was on a little while.
For goodness sake.
What was that thing?
What was that?
Her mom told her at the start, oh, when I was pregnant with you, I craved pickles.
Then at the very end, she comes over and she's got pickles, and she looks at her mom,
and her mom's like, oh, and then she's like, I'm pregnant.
Long ad.
I was pregnant during the Olympics.
So can you imagine me watching those medal ceremonies?
It was a blubbering.
Adrian had to ban me from watching the Olympics.
It's the lamest stuff that you or your partner has cried over.
And you're just like, what are you up to?
I think people that are pregnant would be definitely crying over a lot of stuff, eh?
The hormones.
Yeah, like your favourite croissons are out of stock
and you just burst into tears in the shop
because you just wanted that croissant so bad.
You ran out of dishwashing liquid or something.
Oh, that's not a thing.
The most embarrassing thing that you've cried over, what is it?
Can you rival our Ash here?
We want to know what is the lamest or most embarrassing thing
that you've cried over in your lifetime.
I think Ash had hers this morning
when we were watching the Formula One final race in Abu Dhabi
where Lando Norris ended up taking victory
and despite the fact that Ash isn't a big fan of him.
And he stole the title of the young Australian that I was reading for.
When he hugged his mum.
Look at that.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
Ash burst into tears at the thought of hugging your son
and being so proud of him to achieve such greatness.
If he did anything good, I'd be so proud.
It's just like, gosh.
We all got up at like 2 a.m.
And Ash Meester, she goes, oh, good, now I'm in tears.
I was like, oh, for this.
I went from like, Stuff Lando.
I hate him to be like, one second, that bugger.
Chris Tixon said, I cried because I found out dinner was oxtail soup.
God, I'd cry at that.
It happened as well.
tail suit. Is ox tail like
tail? All the bits of
an ox. The last thing I'm choosing
is it's tail. Nightmare.
What about this one?
I'm just making sure we don't have them on.
I'm a teacher aide
and at school we were giving out prizes
and one of the parents yelled out
as I handed their kid a certificate.
I'm proud of you son.
Oh God, I'd be gone then.
You'd get me.
Oh, Ash, she's gone.
She's grown up.
She's grown up.
crying now.
Caitlin.
Is it Caitlin or Catlin?
Caitlin.
Caitlin.
Why did you cry, Bags?
Because my dog chewed my third pair of Birkenstock.
Oh, so this wasn't so much an emotional sad.
It was like you were just pissed off and angry.
An angry cry.
It was like, but I actually fully sobbed.
I was like, this is my third pair of Birkenstock.
And he just sat there looking at me like, what's wrong, Mom?
I just cried.
You've got to put them up on.
shelf, babe.
You do, you've got to put them out of reach.
Well, and a little did you know, Caitlin, that you sitting there in tears on the floor
is going to win you a fragrance, thanks to Bargain Chemist for Christmas.
Nice.
And being pulled over on the side of the road, otherwise I'd lose the call.
Yeah.
Oh, there you go.
Also, if you do want to get amongst the free delivery at Bargand Chemist, they're going
to be rocking that until the end of this year.
Georgia, good morning.
Why'd you cry over?
Good morning.
I cried because I was pregnant, and I really wanted to.
of mashed potatoes, and my partner
at the time put too much
milk in the mashed potatoes.
Too soggy.
Oh, because it's...
I'm not a milk stand.
Because Georgia, when you
really craving something, you know in
your mind how it's going to be.
And when it gets served to you and all
the effort's gone in and it's wrong,
just devastating. Yeah, and
Brock, I think we'll finish with you because
this is pathetic.
This is pretty embarrassing to cry
Looking back, you probably even feel a little bit embarrassed.
Were you pregnant?
Out of interest?
No, not pregnant.
Oh dear.
What happened?
What did you cry over?
I cried because we went and got dinner from Macca's and I got a chocolate shake,
but it wasn't chocolatey enough.
I sat there and cried.
Wasn't chocolatey enough.
What did your boyfriend or partner say?
He was like, you can have my drink, I'll have yours,
just have my drink.
I'm like, I don't want your drink.
I don't want any drink.
Do you know what I think happens?
Ah, you're like, fine.
I think it's like we have things in our life that upset us.
We don't have like the conduit to cry.
And then something like a macca's shake not being chocolate enough
is like the thing that pushes you over the edge.
So a little tear comes and then the floodgates open
and you're actually crying about the ten things that have happened to you this month.
And that is why Clint and I have prepared this next moment.
Ash, you just sit back.
At the jams, Clint
I don't what he can do
Don't
Over the past five months
Ash, working with you
But it's fake
Has been such a chore
Honestly
My shoulders
Have never been sore
Carrying your dead weight
Through the show
I put my back out twice
Maybe I'll cry
Because you make a fat joke at me
Maybe it'll be sad
Legitimate sad tears
As Clint says
you're Ariana Vinti.
We're just four ounces larger than the grander
for those that don't go to Starbucks often.
Nobody with us worked on the show
and made Clint and I look as good as you have.
And we thank you for yourself.
Ash, love you to thanks.
Taylor Swift.
She's crying, look.
Clint, Megan Dan.
The Edge.
1K.E. Z.
Practice makes perfect.
And now you can play any.
Anytime online.
Yeah, download the Rover app if you haven't already.
And if you get 10 out of 10 playing the game there,
you can go on the Jordan and a thousand bucks.
Otherwise, $1,000.
Right now, thanks to Novice Glass.
If you can give us 10 answers,
starting with the letter, Ash, gives you in 30 seconds.
He's calling from the beautiful way.
He beach.
Martin, good morning.
Good morning.
Martin, we're due to win, mate,
so I'm hoping it's you this morning.
Oh, I hope so.
I hope so fingers crossed.
May as well be you.
If you need a pass, you can.
Just no repeated answers.
but if you can give us 10 answers and 30, cash is yours.
See?
All right, Martin, your letter today is G.
G for good golly gosh.
G, yeah, got it.
Okay, beginning with G, my love, for $1,000.
Can I please have a relative?
Grandparent.
A pet.
Guinea pig.
A five-letter word.
Goats.
Something you put in a stir fry.
Um, greens.
A dog breed.
Uh, Jim and Shippard.
Something you can change.
Um, a gnome.
Something addictive.
Um, games.
A country in the Northern Hemisphere.
Damn, that was a good, Martin, just a little more pace, especially the gnome.
Where did that come from?
When did that change gnomes, absolutely one gnomes.
Yeah, I know you told the camera, I was just like...
It's smashed.
Hey, the amount of times I've got to...
to know him and got sick of it and changed it, I'd ever
be a rich man. But I was, just the fact that that was even
coming to you, Martin. I was like, yeah, you've
very creative brain. It's just the pace. We remember
a young Caitlin, who was the last person doing it. It was like
boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Good
effort, Martin, but no dice today.
Oh, maybe if I was
just a little bit fast. Yeah, you've got the brains
for it, Martin. You're obviously a smart man.
You have a wonderful Christmas with the Farno, brother.
And safe to you. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Martin. What a guy.
All thanks to Novus. Glass back again.
3 o'clock this afternoon with your Javvo's windscreen chip or crack.
You can contact your local novice glass branch direct.
Clint Megyn Dan.
Oh, oh my gosh.
It's Clint Megan Dan's.
What you got?
All right, what you got, team?
Just some stories that need to be on your radar for Monday 8th of December.
They happened over the weekend.
I'll kick this off because this is a thing I just saw on the internet.
And it's a billionaire who was saying he's going to give away billions of dollars
to a flat earther that can prove and get footage of the end of the earth.
Earth. Have a listen. Hi, I'm Tim Boyle. I'm the CEO
here at Columbia Sportswear. And this message
is for flat earthers. You guys claim
there's an end to the earth? Well, just go
snap a picture. Send it to us
and you get the assets of the company.
All of it. Best a lot.
$3 billion. Now the thing is, he's
forgotten about AI. There'll be people out there
that could make that an AI.
A real good video and just send it to
him and get a billion bucks.
Yeah, but it's not real, is it?
No. Yeah, it's going to be a hard one to prove that, I think.
I wish I could leave in that level of delusion.
You know what I mean?
It's exhausting living in reality.
They have like conventions and everything.
There's a flat earth convention every year.
They'll meet.
I really believe it.
Yeah, good on them.
They're not hurting anyone, I suppose.
I'll go next.
So we know that Katie Perry is dating
ex-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
They had kind of the hard launch
a little while ago.
Well, they've now gone to Japan together
and Katie's put up a carousel
of just them being a cute little couple in Japan
and I'm obsessed with it.
So they go to one of those Omikaze sushi restaurants
where you sit there
It was very quiet
And the sushi chef
Like hands you the sushi and you eat it
And then they got off of them pancakes
And then they went to an exhibition
They went to sumo wrestling
They just like live it
And it looks so hot and happy together
Because he'd be rich when he
Because he'd still get the money
You know how when you become a prime minister
Of a big country and you finish
You still get like some sort of salary
And it's usually pretty good
Where you can just kind of
What's the call when you have a thing
The goat pension?
Pension
What is the Canadian PM pension?
Because obviously Katie's very rich
She doesn't need to work
So that'd be a power table
So he gets two thirds of his salary
For the rest of his life
Yeah
Which would be at least probably 400K
Yeah he's liars
He's still earn a more money
He might be just getting like
Uber's and like when they go out for a couple of drugs
He'd be picking that up
And I think she'd be looking after the rest
They're not splitting the Uber are they
You know we can go into the app
No he's like no no babe
Babe you paid the mortgage
Let me get the Uber
You got the PJ over here
I'll get the Uber
I'll do ground transport
And last story is of an old man named Ed Bambas
And he was filmed by some content creator
Who's just got around being like
Hey man, what's your story?
And he was working at this retail store
And he's 88 years old
Take a listen
This was his story that was captured on social media a week ago
And 88?
I'm still working?
Yes, I have to.
Do you have a wife?
She passed away seven years ago.
She was sick when I lost my pension.
I was in the Army.
The thing that hurt me the most
because my wife was real sick
and when they took the pension
they also took the health care coverage
I worked five days a week
eight hours a day. And you do that
because you have to? Yeah, I don't have enough income.
So he's talking about how he thought he was going to be able to retire
America, landed the free. Yeah.
As a veteran, someone that's fought for their country in a war
loses their pension, has they empty their bank account
to pay for their wife's
treatment, that's inhumane.
Danny Alster's text and saying,
Ash, will cry because I am.
But you're not crying, actually.
Because I've heard it three times already.
Yeah, well, sad to the old man.
This is why, if you're going to film yourself doing a good deed,
you should put it on the internet.
They started a GoFundMe page,
and he got a check for $1.7 million over the weekend.
So Ed is good.
He has retired, and he's going to be putting his feet up
and no more 40-hour weeks for 88-year-old Ed.
Oh, good on him.
That's what the internet should be used for.
Yeah, right.
You know, I want that stuff.
None of this, like, he's my Maserati,
and I'm going to show you how to make a juice
that's going to make you 10 kilos lighter
even though I'm not a doctor.
Yeah, yeah.
We need the rule that China has,
so you can't talk or have an opinion on something
in that sort of medical field
unless you hold a degree in the field
in which you are trying to convince people of.
Yeah, it's a good idea.
There's a lot of witch doctors out there, eh?
No, and I fall for every single one of them.
A lot of parenting tips with people that have just got one kid
and suddenly the messire of parenting.
But even he's got 10 kids,
You can't tell anyone how to raise their kids.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what you're doing?
You got 10 of them.
You can't even know where they all are at one time, I wouldn't have thought.
The Clint Migg and Dan podcast.
It's Clint Migg and Dan's The Things We Love.
Yeah, once a week, it's nice to take stock in those tiny little moments
that actually, when you add them all up, actually give you a pretty cool life.
That's where I say it.
Every time we do this, a happy life is a series of happy days.
Oh, you're so right, Ash.
Little things every day.
Can I kick it off?
Go on.
When you hop into the shower and you get in
and the temperature is perfect.
Oh, very rare.
Yeah, you've just swung the thing.
You get in, you're like,
this does not need a single tweak.
Not too hot, not too cold.
We've got gas water at our house
and it's never reliable.
You can never know exactly what the temp's going to be.
It's always like, you do one of those ones
you can't even move with here.
You just got to tap it
and then you've got to wait four seconds
to see if you've got it right.
Thanks a while.
No good.
I wrote this one down over the weekend
in my notes happen.
It's either going to go one of two ways.
You guys are going to go, oh my God, you've nailed it.
That is the best feeling ever.
Or you're going to go, I've never had that before.
Oh, interesting.
When you've just gone to the bathroom, generally it's probably a number two.
And you flush the toilet and it starts going up and up and up like it's about to overflow.
And just before it gets to the top of the toilet, it goes and just sinks back down.
That's never happened.
I don't know what that is.
But I imagine that.
Well, because you almost blocked it.
But you didn't, though.
Like your poo almost comes out and falls onto the floor, but instead it goes back down.
It's usually just the toilet paper.
I don't love that moment
I don't love it when I think I'm going to overflow my toilet
into the bathroom
Okay, forget about that one
What about when you get on a plane?
He rode that down
So that happened to him
He always blocked his own toilet
Over the weekend
Guys will love that on Monday
As I walked out of the toilet
I'll just put that on my note
What about this one when you get on a plane
And you've got two empty seats next to you
And you're like, oh my God
And they go
Everyone's on board
You're like close the door
What do they say
We're finished boarding?
Cabin crew
Who prepare the cabin for takeoff?
All passengers on board.
Camptu perfect.
And you're like, oh, it's like business class.
Especially if it's a long-haul flight as well.
That is the dream scenario.
Such a good one.
I love nailing a secret Santa gift for a workmate
with a really good in-joke.
And you just know when everyone opens the presents.
Everyone's going, that's so class.
Who did that?
Who did that?
Very good.
I like putting on your pyjamas in winter when they're,
you know where I'm about to go with this.
Fresh out of the dryer.
Yeah.
Yeah, warm.
See, at the moment, it's so hot.
Oh, yeah.
That's why I said in winter, dance.
I know, I just can't put myself there.
I can't imagine it, yeah.
What about when you, this is been texting,
but I agree with this one.
When you are at high school generally,
and you make a joke in class,
and everybody laughs, including the teacher.
Including the teachers, that's sad.
That was good, you got me.
Now settle down.
Come on, you are funny.
Yeah, that is good.
That is good.
A good feeling.
All right, what have you got?
Oh, 800 there to text us.
three, three, four, three.
Those little moments
that we'd be able to go,
oh my God, yes.
There's small little relatable things
that you see all that happen to you
or you see happen to others.
You're seeing some of the texts
coming through already?
Yeah, watching cats
running around when they've got the zoomies.
That is kind of annoying sometimes
and I like cats.
It's a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of,
it's Clint Megan Dance,
the things we love.
Yeah, one of those little moments,
those relatable ones where people go,
oh my God, yes, I love when that happens
and when I see that happen.
Jim is texting saying she likes watching little birds fight.
That's quite a neat one.
Each to their own.
Yeah.
Morning, Danielle.
Good, morning, guys.
How you?
Good, Daddy.
What's that little, those moments that you love?
I'm going a little bit sentimental this morning for Monday,
but mine's my little four-year-olds.
Well, I think as a parent, for most people,
when you look at your kids and around family and grandparents,
you really want them.
to experience, I guess, what you did as a kid.
And for me, it's my four-year-old being able to see her great-granddad,
and this is the famous Gaga, and going, I love you, Gaga.
Oh.
And just, then as a parent, you know, you're watching there,
and it's just like, oh, they get to experience all this love
and everything that we got to, and it's just such a beautiful feeling.
Now, Jan now, you've talked about Gaga before on the show.
How is Gaga Loewing?
Guy goes great. He's getting ready to go to Hawaii
in a marathon this week.
Great! What a man!
What a guy! Is he just going to watch the marathon?
Or is he running at it?
He's running.
How old is he?
He's running. He's 82.
Isn't he incredible?
He's the best. We love him.
I couldn't hang out with him. I'd feel bad.
You need to meet him.
You need to meet him.
Yeah, once he gets back from his trip town to come into the studio
and he can do the show with us.
He'll probably nail that as well and Clint will get fired.
I love an unprompted, I love you.
Oh my gosh, buddy just started doing.
I love you, Mama.
Morning, Jennifer.
Good morning.
What's the best feeling?
Oh, I have to say, you guys, last week just did something in this world, in this country at least.
Seeing what you guys did for the Joy Store, just that was hands down.
I spent all day and a whole weekend, I can't stop thinking.
about this. And our family donated. My 15-year-old son donated his $100 birthday money last week.
He did. And I still cannot stop thinking about how incredible this morning show was to that
organization. And it was the best feeling, absolute chills and just the fuzzy feel goods all day
because of something that three wonderful humans started in an entire community, continued all day
to go well over $50,000 for such a beautiful organization.
Oh, man, you're such a cool, hype girl.
I mean, it was a lot of people that donated as well.
It wasn't just hundreds of people, yeah.
It was incredible.
It was huge, and you guys were all a part of that feel good,
and I just, no matter how many cold pillows there are,
no matter how many warm, snugly PJs there are,
there will be nothing that talked last Thursday in my mind for this year, at least.
And it's, it was so beautiful.
And I just, I'm so grateful to listen to such wonderful humans.
And I just, that needed to be said this morning.
Oh, thank you, Jennifer.
That's very, very kind.
Jen, there was a bit of an update, too, because more money came in over the weekend.
Producer Carl was telling us before the show starts.
Yeah, we haven't done the exact figures, but like another about two and a half,
three grand came in over the weekend as well.
So it's almost 50.
Oh my goodness.
It's almost 55.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We love you, Michaela.
And thank your boy from us.
That's just so awesome.
Sorry, Jennifer, darling.
Yeah.
Thanks, Jennifer.
But we will go to Michaela lastly.
Morning, Michaela.
Morning, team.
Just on the back of what Jenna's just said,
you guys are amazing.
I listen to you every morning on the way to day you schedule off,
and you just make my morning no matter what you guys say,
you are the bees need.
Oh, there's a sufficient amount of smoke blowing up out.
There's a lot more room.
What is the feeling of the thing that you love, Michaela?
It's when something is on special that I really, really want.
especially this time of the year, you know, when times are tough.
And then they scan it, and then it's even more on...
Oh, you had this one before.
Oh, it's the best.
And sometimes it'll be like 30% off,
and then it'll be like on top of that, another 20% off.
That's a great one, Michaela.
Yeah, you get that at brisk goes a lot, don't you?
Someone else says, when the GPS says you'll be there at 10am,
but then you get there at 9.50 a.m.
Oh, got you get the computers, eh?
Yeah, the GPS says go right, and you go, no, it's fast to go left.
I know it is.
and then, yeah, thank you very much.
Leave it to me.
It's wonderful, so many warm and fuzzies today.
Yeah.
It's that time of year as well where hopefully a lot of people are feeling warm and fuzzy.
Yeah, playing backyard corner hole with a beer in the sun and your mates.
That's good.
Much better than, you're the one about when birds fight.
Yeah, some girl said that she liked when she sees birds fighting and pecking each other.
She did say it's a bit of a weird one, but she does love it.
Hey, look, we're not going to yuck someone else's yum.
Yeah, sure.
Holy shit!
You made it the whole way through.
