Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. If you're easily offended, keep listening. We love a challenge. This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast. The Edge Breakfast. Meg needed time away from these two so bad. She had another baby. Now that's commitment.
Starting point is 00:00:15 Wake up with the show, you know. It's the Edge Breakfast. Clint Meg and Dan. 94-2. Good morning. It is 2 to 6 on your short week Thursday. Yeah, happy Thursday. That's actually a Friday, really.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Meg only just realized when we reminded of it this morning. completely 100% absolutely forgot. I thought, okay, tomorrow's Friday. And I was quite excited for Friday. You know what? That wrecks off, Clint, someone that's coming to work for a holiday. You know, like you... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:42 Babies at home, they're crying, you know. It's a bit of a break here, isn't it? True. We're counting down the days to get to our weekend, which is the holiday. But for Meg, that's her week. She's got a long week. Dad, I've got a long week coming up here, three days. Your husband, is he still asleep right now?
Starting point is 00:00:58 Yes. Okay, so he didn't hear this, so that's okay. No, good. Are you loving it? Yeah, it's really fun. It's actually just a break from him, not the kids. Dan's got to hit the spot at 8 o'clock Chapel Rhone edition because she's going to be performing today at Laneway Festival in Auckland,
Starting point is 00:01:13 and he's got the full suit to match her Grammy outfit. Yeah, it's my tribute to Chapel Rhone. Hopefully she sees this on social media. She's in the country. And you know what's the hardest one I've done? I thought it was one of the easiest. I've been practicing. The vocal on this is honestly so difficult.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Dan's changed the part that he's singing. He's doing right at the end now, aren't you? Yeah. Of Subway. She's got, she's got away. You're my favourite part of it. Oh my God, it's so high. Yeah, we'll see how that goes.
Starting point is 00:01:41 We'll do a dress rehearsal at 7.30 just to make sure Meg and I sign off on what you look like so you don't look like an idiot. Embarrass you and therefore us in the show. Yeah, I don't want to take you guys down as collateral damage, but if it has to happen, it has to happen, you know? That would be your favourite thing to do. If you made a decision, then we're down with you.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Imagine if I got cancelled for strapping boobies to myself. Clint, Megan Dan Oh my gosh It is your Thursday Going into her long weekend So it needs to be a good 6 am throwback To get us cheed up for the long weekend At the moment
Starting point is 00:02:13 It's Carmen in the mix Brokenhearted Oh yeah actually Kind of vote for this one I haven't heard this in so long I used to love Carmen And she had the like She was the rapper
Starting point is 00:02:22 And she had like kooky hair And she would talk like this And I rap like this Like we had never heard of her Isn't that bad I've never heard of her With a K, it was a guy and a girl. Oh, okay, hold on, I'm just going to find one that's actually got a chorus hooked.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Here we go. I've been going on it. Well, there's not much going on in the world of music. There was a song by Janet Jackson. That went to number one, but she's pretty... Come on, what are they up to anymore? Yeah, this is, that's them. I think they broke up many years ago.
Starting point is 00:03:07 I don't know this one. Is this a hello? Is this a call on? Is this a cappella? They did another one called Crash Your Party They did hello Man they were the big thing I can't remember you to remember them Dad
Starting point is 00:03:16 They were like they honestly ruled the world But for a very short amount of time Do they rule the world? Well they were so... Really? They were like everywhere In every interview everyone wanted them Like everyone wanted a piece of their pie
Starting point is 00:03:28 And then they just crashed I feel like if they had ruled the world I would have heard of them Like if they were sort of destiny's child level I would have gone rule the world Go and listen to the smashing pumpkins mate Oh I will Don't you worry
Starting point is 00:03:39 They ruled the world. Dan was going on and on about them. You see, I was like, mate. That's why he's where in there. No one ate their album. Yeah, I'm dressed as a pumpkin today. I'm full orange. Dry orange.
Starting point is 00:03:47 They disbanded in 2017. Were they together? Or they just brother and sister? Ooh. Hard to be in a group like that, traveling around the world, creating music, and not have hooked up at least once.
Starting point is 00:03:59 What I mean? I believe they come in, where United States pop music duo of... They're married as of 2025. They're still married. but they broke up the band. Told you they were hooking up. I guess it would be hard.
Starting point is 00:04:14 It would be difficult to do that. And she now goes as Queen Herbie. It's Queen bit with a V instead of a U. And she ruled the world, did you? Yeah. Not so good on her own. Okay, well let's play this. Yeah, why not?
Starting point is 00:04:28 The playlist normally gets bounced for a choice of ours, so it's with a playlist to win once in a while. It's just like Glee era. Leave it too early. Okay, sorry. The Clint, Megan Dan Pop. Garman. Gosh, she loved a chariot.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Three times of that song. Not the cocktail sausage. No, who knows. Six-Am throwback. Dancy's never heard that song before. It's called Broken Harder by Garmon. No, now I have played it.
Starting point is 00:04:54 I have heard it, but I still wouldn't say they, and Meg's quote, ruled the world. My world, maybe. For a very short period of time. Very short. A few months. Yeah, and then they were gone.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Flash on the pan. Yesterday I went for a walk jog. Good on, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Getting back into it, it's always so hard getting back into it. But I'm where it's really hot yesterday. I'm forgiving, eh, if you take a bit of time off and then you go back to it. And when you have a baby.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Yeah, when organs move around and stuff. That's what I think it turns people off running because they go for one run. Yeah. And they go, oh, I just, it's not for me. Of course it's not because you haven't run for long, you know, like if you get into it, do some training. How do you make it more fun though? Because you know people say fun runs and stuff. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Just because you put fun at the start of something. It doesn't make it fun. It rhymes. With friends? Is it when you're running to a bar? Like, I don't know. That's Clint. Not me.
Starting point is 00:05:44 There's a bar at the end of the run. I'll go. And I was going out at the same time that a high school near me finished. And so there are a lot of high school kids around. And I'm going to sound like a boomer. But I couldn't believe how many times I had to run onto the road or like into somebody's pathway because they wouldn't like move for me. I know that sounds so lame,
Starting point is 00:06:08 but I just thought it was the thing that if you've got, one person came towards you and you're in a big group and it happened multiple, multiple times, then you would kind of make a space for that person to get past. I think you give way to the person that's moving the fastest. So you give way to a bike before you give way to a runner, but you give way to a runner over a walker. They didn't give way at all.
Starting point is 00:06:25 I got to the point to start testing it. There were so many groups, again, they had just gone out. So I started testing and I was like, I'm going to play chicken and not move. I'm going to, because every time I was like, oh, sorry. I'm saying, what am I doing? I'm a 35-year-old woman out here trying to go for a run, and you was high school.
Starting point is 00:06:38 kids. Why am I moving onto the road for you? So I started going, no, Megan, I'm like, trying to be more assertive in my life anyway. And I'm like, these are just kids. And I ended up shoulder barging so many kids because we just, they just wouldn't move. And then I was like, I'm not moving, I'm not moving. And I had one boy that I literally went almost nose to nose with.
Starting point is 00:06:56 And then I still sidestepped. And then he puffed out his chest. Like, he was also playing chicken with me and he was about 14. And I was like, I just can't believe that that's... In the defense of the young children, wouldn't you say, that you should be going on the road and risking your life more than the young... Sure, but they have groups like seven or eight.
Starting point is 00:07:14 They're in a pack. I know where to go. Just like go into a little line so I can just fit through. That's why they say power in numbers. I guess maybe it gives them more confidence because with a crew and you're on your own. That one guy that I went, he was by himself. I lost.
Starting point is 00:07:27 He was by himself and he used to ran straight at him. Means I run it straight little kid. I was like, I'm on the right side of the foot path. You know, I know what I'm doing. He's on the wrong side. I'm going to do it. I'm not going to move. I'm not going to move. He'll move.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Nope. Oh, sorry. You're going to be in the newsletters and they're going to send out like a PSA to all parents as a woman around the outside of the school. Soled parching kids.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I was just, I couldn't believe it. Like, give me a little room on the football. The cereal shoulder barger. She's at large. She's how big? Pardon? She's at large. I just had a baby, Dan.
Starting point is 00:08:01 I just mean like six months ago. It's a police officer. They go, she's at large. I'm trying to get back into running. It's obvious. And good on you. I've said that. Well, that was a real shame.
Starting point is 00:08:11 I thought we were really vibing. It was a real sad way to end that. Sorry about that. I mean, but you've misunderstood me. Clint, Meg and Dan. Lesh-co! Meg, do they still call what you've done with your hair? What I think they used to call it back in the day?
Starting point is 00:08:24 Slot wings. Yeah, right. I think so. Slut wings. Well, that's what we used to call it back in high school. Yeah, so Meg's got a couple of two little... Plenty pieces. I think they actually go.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Oh, no, that's a hairdai. I don't know what they actually called. That aren't. Yeah, so you could tell which girls are... high school put out. Yeah, they're like too little... I was waiting for me to go, no. She goes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:43 No, no. No. I'm just trying to explain it to the audience, guys. It's just two little kind of braids down the front. They actually look really cute. I quite like them. Really? Yeah. Yeah, I did them at home this morning because it's like my last wash day, boys. Which means, like, I can't wear my hair down, but it's also not bad enough. So I was like, I'll put it back in a ponytail.
Starting point is 00:09:00 And then I did this, and I thought I maybe try... I looked like I was a tryhard. So maybe I have to, like, really lean in. Do you know what? I actually thought of you, Clint? I thought I didn't want to do it. I was about to change it. I said in my head, if Clint thinks if you're feeling a little nervous,
Starting point is 00:09:14 you're at the right spot. Is that it? People don't push the boundaries enough but I think if you're buying like clothing or if you're doing something different with your hair. If you're a little unsure, I think you're bang on. I thought of you. If you know you're wrong, you know you're wrong.
Starting point is 00:09:26 And there are other times when it's like, man, norm. But if you go, I don't know, should I be, you're right in the sweet spot. So if you're really unsure about it, you're wrong. But obviously when you go home, your husband's going to think you're going to put out because... Right, I'm on my periods are not happening. Scandal with Meg.
Starting point is 00:09:40 He's on on his stuff, is he? Hey. You can do other stuff. Okay. Sorry, it's pretty 6.30. It's early. We're a little naughty. We'll clean it up.
Starting point is 00:09:49 We apologize. I apologize. All thanks to Caterstation. Not that, but a scandal. Thanks to Caterstation. Caterstation.com. Charlie XX is doing promo in the moment for Wuthering High. She did the album for it.
Starting point is 00:10:03 And she did one of the big famous You know how there's always the lie detector test and there's the one where they sit with the puppies. The other one is, I think it's Al Magazine. I was going to say, there's 72 questions or something? No, yes, that is one of them. They've all got their own things right now.
Starting point is 00:10:21 There's one where they get famous people to prank called their friends. So Al Magazine's one. And so Charlie XX had to prank at Dakota Johnson. But unfortunately, Dakota gets pranked quite often. With this. Poor Dakota. All the time for some reason. She's gullible.
Starting point is 00:10:35 But also, I guess it means it's like you must be, good sport right it's a good sign it's a good yeah hello angel hey babe how you doing i'm okay thanks how are you i'm good i'm good um are you in l a right now yeah okay okay okay i'm like sorry in advance i'm just i'm really stressed i'm really stressed i'm really stressed i'm really stress okay okay okay do you like animals sorry that sounds stupid but this is actually a big part of the the thing yeah yeah okay okay okay Of course. Okay, okay, okay, good.
Starting point is 00:11:10 That is like a really good thing. Okay. Basically, last night, George and Matty went to this party. I have literally got no idea where they went, but they won a horse in, like, I don't even know how they fucking won this horse to Cota, but they won a horse.
Starting point is 00:11:32 No, it's not funny. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But they won this horse. Okay, now it's like in this trailer. So do your guesses now. Did she fall for it or not?
Starting point is 00:11:44 Why did they go with that scenario? Charlie's freestyling, eh? Yeah, like maybe they want to horse. I don't know. I'm trying to remember. I think Al Magazine actually tell you what you have to do, which makes it worse because they're maybe not the best at choosing scenarios. Because that's more of a stitch up on Charlie, I think.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Yes. So do you think that Dakota fell for it or didn't fall for it? We've got the next piece of audio. I'm going to say nah. No, it's too weird that she's going to go No, this is not a normal conversation That we've ever had before I mean, if she's as gullible as you say she is Meg
Starting point is 00:12:15 I think she did Am I getting pranked by Elle magazine again? I know! I told you she would know Again, she's had it happened quite a few times so I'm guessing That would be why You've pranked by Elle magazine All the producers are like oh
Starting point is 00:12:30 Yeah, Dakota is like Can we pick a different celebrity Nez up? I told you Dakota would We've done her I just want to the producers here Do you want to just pretend you're prank this time? Sucks all the happens, right? I know.

Starting point is 00:13:19 Oh my gosh. Since I was little. Oh, really? Real little. First thing we'd do is turn the radio on and chucked the edge on. Oh, bless you. And this is just your first time. Why this morning?
Starting point is 00:13:30 Yeah. I was actually just on my way home from the gym and I was just like, oh, I don't really ever get through, but I'll give it a go. And it's worked out. Oh, my goodness. So you're finished the gym. So what time did you get to the gym this morning if you've finished? I went for a 5-30 class.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Pretty disgusting. You were out of control. Do you know what? I'm excited for you because there's something happening in 2026 with you where you're going, you know what? I've never done that before, but why not? I'm going to give that a go. So who knows?

Starting point is 00:14:09 Girls are just always doing ass day and guys are always doing chest day. Yeah. I do a bit of ass work at the gym. Do you? Yeah. I don't really see dudes using those machines. Dan's always on the mothg in. How many times have you had to wait for the machine because a dude's hogging it?
Starting point is 00:14:28 Have you seen Dan's butt though? Dan's got a great ass. I can't say many times. I just need to sort out the belly. Then I'll be fine. But I've no one time secretly vomited in a plant. at a club. Good on your mind.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Oh, wow. Stealthy. Couldn't quite make it to the bathroom, but at least you made a plant. At least it wasn't on the school. Afterwards, did they see what you're done and kick you out straight away? Or did you manage to hang in there?
Starting point is 00:14:51 Managed to do it sneakily enough that no one saw. A lot of those plants are fake too. Somebody would have found that the next day, Barfna, that would have been tired of political. Like when they turn the lights on at the end of the night and going on, what's that in there?
Starting point is 00:15:04 Oh, Bhavna. D. Bafna. Thank you. That's the nickname of your friends should have given you after that night. I will say that that's one I've definitely heard before. Not many things wrong with barfna. Are you cruising around anywhere over the long weekend or staying put?
Starting point is 00:15:25 Staying put. Okay. Okay. Well, if you wake up on Sunday a little dusty and you feel like getting amongst a pie and maybe a blue powerade or something like that, or even a chicken protein bowl. They've got them for $8.90 at Z. We'll give you a voucher.

Starting point is 00:15:53 She can't trust Baffner not coming out again. Listen up for the festy-besty-cute call that plays after nine and throughout the rest of the day. Because maybe your second call to the... might be the one that wins your free tickets. Fingers cross. Thanks, good on you, Babna. She's cool, man.
Starting point is 00:16:14 She's great, eh? She's just been sitting there in the background for years, and we've never chatted to it. And she's so chipper, she's been up since 5.30 at the gym. Nightmare. How many other barbner's are just sitting there, you know, in the shadows listening to the show, but never called or text? You mean barbner's in specific?
Starting point is 00:16:32 No, no, he means person. He's right, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't think that many. Yeah, yeah. Sitting in the shadow. Just trying to get a fat ass Never called the show We're all working towards it, Clint
Starting point is 00:16:43 All right, naughty 640 up next Dan says he's got something for us Yeah, I'm throwing Clint under the bus this morning Meg He did something yesterday Oh, I wish you were there In fact, I wish everybody listening was there To see how much of a chauvinistic prick Clint was He's showing off
Starting point is 00:16:59 He's had too many coffees already And it's not even seven Clint Meg and Dan Stinky Buc Clint's annoying me I'm a little bit nervous Oh really? I don't know what Well, I do know what Dan's going to talk about, but I don't know how much GST is going to add.
Starting point is 00:17:11 It's time to get naughty at 640. It's Naomi. Yesterday, you were invited as well to a chemist warehouse thing. They do this showcase every few months where they showcase a whole load of products. Usually there's a theme. Yesterday it was Valentine's Day, which is coming up. And it's a lovely, quite fancy lunch. Where you're all invited, there's a lot of, I guess, influences there, people from the industry.
Starting point is 00:17:33 And they all go along in the chemist warehouse. They sort of woo you, wine and dine you. a little bit, okay? I'm hoping that you'll do exactly what you're doing now, I suppose, and tell people about the incredible range that they have for exactly. I've led chemist warehouse. Yeah, I had to go and look after my child.
Starting point is 00:17:45 And good on you. Thank you. Don't worry, I got you a goodie bag, but... Oh, thank you. During the lunch, after we'd had our entree, they have like a little bit of a thing where they talk and there's a magazine, in-house magazine. Morgan Penn, the sexologist,
Starting point is 00:17:57 the New Zealand famous sexologist, she was on the cover. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. Well, good. Well done, Morgan. And so they were interviewing her about the photo shoot and everything, they were sort of having a laugh and they were talking about
Starting point is 00:18:09 how Morgan brought about five different bras along to the shoot because she was wearing like a see-through kind of sarong type thing and they were like oh that bra's not right so she put on like a white one which had built in nipples. Okay, oh yeah like skims. Yeah and she was really happy with it.
Starting point is 00:18:23 They did the photo shoot and then she was like I was really disappointed because at the end when the photo shoot came out they'd photoshopped out the nipples. And the reason she wore that bra is because... And just keep in mind at this point where everybody's sitting, everybody's quiet, okay? and I'd say 90% of the people in the room are women. Okay, so there's probably about 40 to 50 women and maybe five guys.
Starting point is 00:18:46 It's me, Clint, Maddie MacLean from the TV and a couple of other guys. That's it. Okay? And we're all sitting together. We're all sitting together. Of course, lads, lads. It's silence, except her talking. She goes, and it was really disappointing because at the end they photoshopped the nipples out.
Starting point is 00:19:04 And Clint goes, oh. really loud. He goes, oh. Exactly. Everyone would be disappointed. And what? She was disappointed.
Starting point is 00:19:19 I was trying to be like, yeah, that sucks. No, but that's not your place to say as a straight white male. And so, the only one who was disappointed
Starting point is 00:19:29 was Morgan and then more so, me and no one else said anything. And then everyone looked at us. Yeah, he goes, oh.
Starting point is 00:19:36 And honestly, dead silence, maybe a couple of gasps, people going, who was that? Who was that? Everybody turned around. Did you point to day? No, I was trying to look to see who did it. And then he started laughing.
Starting point is 00:19:48 He was, ha. Nothing. Not everybody expecting that everybody go, oh God, classic Clint. No, I looked around, like, who said it? And then when I realized everyone knew I'd done it, I had to just kind of like try to palm it off. Like, it was a bit of a joke.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just gutted that the nipples were photoshopped out. Oh. That's what it was like. Show us the nipples. Yeah, come on. Some of the boys. Dan did nothing to save me.
Starting point is 00:20:17 If anything, Maddie and I sort of just sort of shimmied away. Just let him be there. My goodness me. I had to leave after that. I had to be like, I can't stay. I can't stay. Oh. Was it voluntary?
Starting point is 00:20:30 Was it like one of those noises that just slings out of? I actually think partly it wasn't. Yeah. It was sort of just like a natural reaction. Yeah, you go. That came out of my mouth louder than I was expecting that too. You know, one of those. It's just in the moment, that's just how I just fell.
Starting point is 00:20:45 But I'm like, she's a sexologist, wearing like a bra of her choice. Don't Photoshop her. Like, oh. Free the Napolet, A clan. You were a big supporter. He's a big supporter. He says he's an ally. She wore it because she wanted people to see and then they cut it out.
Starting point is 00:21:01 I mean, oh. That's first in the fan club of Freeing the Napol, by the way. I mean, if anything, I'm pro women in every. choices and then everyone made me feel bad for it. I just think you're pro-nipple. Yeah, you're pro-nipple. Any nipple, we'll do. Oh.
Starting point is 00:21:16 I only did it one time. It's a long one though. Clint Meg and Dan. All right, Clint, I want $250. Yep, this is how you're going to save $250. Stop buying toilet paper. It's Clint's bidet update. Oh!
Starting point is 00:21:35 Get a bidet. You never have to buy toilet paper. Again, I worked it out as a $250 saving per year. How much toilet paper are you using? I think that's wrong. It's like 10 to 20 bucks a month. You make a Clint, you have to buy a bidet. Yeah, but it's an investment.
Starting point is 00:21:50 It's like getting an electric vehicle. You don't have to buy fuel over time. No, no, no. You look at me in the eye, Clinton and Randall. Pull the music down. Are you spending a cent on this bidet or is this sponsored? On the bidet or on the installation of the bidet? He's a nightmare, right?
Starting point is 00:22:07 the reason he's doing this break at all. Look, okay, Propel of being very good to me. Oh, no! No, he's doing it again! We're going to propel you out of this bloody studio in a minute. They propelled two brand new toilets to my house yesterday. Oh, that's how you can save $250. And if you use Clint Tenor checkout, you too can have two bidets in your house.
Starting point is 00:22:27 No, the bidetes that I got didn't fit my toilets, and I was like, the update, if you missed it last time, I was like, oh, what do I do now? I've got bidet toilet seats that don't fit my toilets. So Propel came to the rescue, I've got... I've got... I've got...
Starting point is 00:22:38 Two. Brand new toilets. Rimless tornadoes. I don't know. They're like, they look pretty good. And they fit the seats exactly. I kind of want a rim on my toilet
Starting point is 00:22:48 if I'm being honest. What do you mean? That's rimless. I don't know if that's the right place to do it. No. That's the least sexes... You want a toilet with a rim? Behave.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Behave, you too. Yeah, and then anyway, I think I probably have to get an electrician and to install power because otherwise how does the seat heat and how does it heat the water? Why do you want to, that's the thing I don't understand. Why do you want a warm toilet seat?
Starting point is 00:23:13 Never have I sat down on a toilet seat and gone, oh, too cold. If it's warm from electricity, not warm from the previous person. That's different, isn't it? Yeah, but it's such a weird thing to want. Oh, in the winter though, and you get up in the middle of the night. It's nice. You won't want to leave. Antarctica, maybe.
Starting point is 00:23:28 We live in Auckland. Well, it turns out the whole bidet thing has not only sweeping like New Zealand, but the world. A friend of mine, Nigel, in Sydney, I told him about the bidetes, and he seems very excited. The bidet sounds amazing. So, weirdly, in Melbourne, a lot of the hotels, I guess, bloody, love for the, like, I'm going to get on the toilet paper, very, very jealous.
Starting point is 00:23:51 I would say don't throw away all of the toilet paper just yet. But that is very exciting. That's very exciting. He's so excited for me. You're not even saving $250 because you've got to keep buying toilet paper, Nigel just said. No, he said don't throw it away, but he didn't realize that the Propel Bidasee 7 times he's mentioned it has a drying function. And you know, Liam, our Irish listener, he got so excited.
Starting point is 00:24:18 He went and bought a Biday toilet seat, not as nice as the Propel ones, but, you know, does the job times. Okay, so how many do you think he gets to get a price? Yeah, I think he's getting like $50 a mention. And me and him were vibing just talking about the barbaric people that are still dry wiping. And this is what he had to say about people like you, Dan, and like you, Meg. dry wiping like a barbarian. It's crazy to think that that's what I used to do.
Starting point is 00:24:41 It feels like that was in my childhood. That was something from my childhood that I used to dry wipe. And I look back and disgust. Hate myself for it. He goes on. He's changed his old post schedule so that he only has to go at home because no other toilet hits the same now. Right, Clint, how many did you promise?
Starting point is 00:25:02 What? How many times would I say propel? Nine. I know. No, no. No, no. That's nine. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:07 How many times was it Propel? I was nine times and that's going to Dave at Propel. Oh, okay, sorry. Paul. And Go Propel.com. Okay, perfect. Right, I'll get it over time. Done. Thanks, mate.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Done. He's just made $4,000 there. Oh, thank you, guys. I don't even want a rimless tornado for a toilet. That sounds really intense. That sounds painful. No. The Lamborghini of toilets, mate.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Clint Meg and Dan. It's Clint's Badey update. Oh, God. Two breaks. Why are we doing two breaks? Dad, I can't handle this. We'll be laughing in the background about how Clint's not going to have an arso anymore. He's got a rimless tornado that's coming at it.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Well, I just got a couple of new toilets that arrived yesterday. No one needs a tornado hitting their backside to clean it. What are you eating? Someone said, Jesus, a rimless tornado. What food are you eating for that arso? It's just outrageous, Clint. I want to promise you guys now as a team, you include. to Nipia.
Starting point is 00:26:06 You guys will be in one of the top, no, the first 10 users when it's installed. Oh, what a privilege. Thank you. So your family members, Bevan, your mum, and then us? I think I can,
Starting point is 00:26:18 it'll be awkward if all of a sudden have people over and us. He can't use the toilet because I promised Meg Dan and produced Anipia that they can be in the first 10 users. You're just going to have to invite us over then. Is there just a lighter weather event
Starting point is 00:26:29 that can hit my ass than a tornado? I prefer a hurricane. Can I like sprinkling? Maybe just a mile. soon or something. I'll go through the remote settings and work out where I think. Actually, I'll give you all a personalized setting so that each person
Starting point is 00:26:42 gets a similar but unique experience. Yeah, okay. Can I just have some like isolated showers? That's a good one. Yeah, yeah, just tend to win. So Amanda said that there's a building code requirement in New Zealand to have backflow prevention done by a licensed plumber. Good thing is, Propel do that as well. They're sending a plumber next week. That's 14 times.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Anyway, honestly, but I'll, I'm there. the canary down the mine, Liam is mine, he's loving the bidet once I get amongst it, I just think man, New Zealand needs to become kind of like Japan where dry wiping is the exception and not the rule.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Clint, the world's on fire and your concern is that New Zealand needs more bidetes. Maybe one is on fire as if people were having hurricanes at their ass all the time. That's true. Your chance to play for a grand in the hand, easy money
Starting point is 00:27:34 next 0,800 The Edge and you two can have a bidet like mine. Clint McGinn, Dan, The Edge. Being one past seven on your short week Thursday. Let's see if we can get a thousand bucks in your hand. Going into the weekend, James. Hey James.
Starting point is 00:27:54 How's it? How's it, right? Are you going away for the long weekend? Yeah, going to do Mount Taranaki tomorrow. Oh, sick. All right. Thousand Macs. If you win this, go to Vegas.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Oh, I don't know. Give it to Vegas. Yeah, yeah. Road of Vegas. Yeah, road of Vegas. All right, beers will be on you tonight then, James, if you win this thousand bucks, we're rooting for you, bro. Ten correct answers starting with the letter. Meg gives you in 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Kill? All right, your letter is P. P. Yeah. All righty, let's do this, James. P for pineapple. Right, here we go. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:30 A food item. Potato. A brand. Prada. Something that's black. A pig? A breed of dog. A Pluto.
Starting point is 00:28:43 A Disney character. Princess. Things that have buttons. Pajamas. Something soft. Plus toy. Something with feathers. A plover.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Something you bite the chemist. Bills. A movie franchise. Paramount. What did he say? What was your movie franchise? Paramount. Which I think was after the buzzer.
Starting point is 00:29:13 We'll always check it, James, because we desperately want to give... Even the cash, bro. Yeah. A movie franchise. is like a series of movies. I think that's a movie... Company. Oh, like Pirates of the Caribbean.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Yeah, so that would be a franchise. Paramount is a movie company. Yeah, Paramount is a major American film production and distribution studio, not a single movie franchise. Yeah, I mean... I'm put in, pitch perfect, Pirates of the Caribbean. We're plushed word for something soft. I was like, get in, James.
Starting point is 00:29:42 That was a really good effort, James. Producer Neeps, have we got a... Action replay. Just to see. Oh, here we go. Fight the chemist. Oh. A movie franchise.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Down out. Just after. Come on. If it was right, we'd probably call the boss. Like if you'd said Pirates of the Caribbean, I think it's worth going to the boss to have your pick because he's saying it during the buzzer. Well, do you have to say it before it first hits?
Starting point is 00:30:10 Well, unfortunately, I think it's wrong. The question's wrong. I reckon it counts. Yeah, yeah, we'd say that, James. I wouldn't play again. That was so good. The boss is always listening. So he'll flick us a text if he feels like we've done your dirty there, James.
Starting point is 00:30:25 But typically he doesn't like partying with the money as much as we do. That was a really good idea. I thought it was a bit too slow, but it wasn't. It was on the money, really. Gutted. I always, like, blame myself to have, like, could I have gone faster before, old James? Sometimes you can go too fast while they're still answering, and then they don't hear the question.
Starting point is 00:30:42 And they don't hear you to repeat it. It's a real fine line. Oh, man, gutted. James, I wonder if we sort them out with a double pass for our must-see movie. Yeah, let's give them something. Yeah, we'll see you, James, too, the must-see movie, Wuthering Heights. It's with Marga Robbie and Jacob Allaudy, who we caught up with on the show earlier this week. God, they are just two of the best Hollywood stars, and they've put together phenomenal films.
Starting point is 00:31:04 So enjoy that, my bro. It's out in cinemas next Thursday. Up next, mundane meetcutes. We started this a little bit yesterday. We talked about it, but can we do better? the worst, most boring, Meek Q, how you meet your partner, we want to hear it. Yeah, we don't want exciting stuff.
Starting point is 00:31:20 We're like, God, is that it? Yeah, because not everyone has an incredible story yet. Clint, Meg and Dan. 8 past 7. No, I know what's going to happen. We're talking about something off here, and I know Meg's going to bring it on here during this chat, and I'm getting nervous now.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Go, Meg. Well, we were talking about Monday Meet Kutes, and I was speaking to my husband just a few weeks ago when I was off on maternity leave, talking about your boys as we usually did, and just, you know, bitching. Bitching.
Starting point is 00:31:46 And I said, I was, I'm pretty short clip proposed on television. And my husband guy was like, you've made that up somewhere along the way. No, no. And that's not true. And I was like, I don't know why I think that happened. I'm like, you're right. He's no way he would have. He goes, what show would he have done it on?
Starting point is 00:32:01 And I said, I thought it was like breakfast or something. And he said, there's no way he proposed on a TV show. He's wrong. What was it? It was good morning. Oh, my God. That's even worse than breakfast. Good morning's like that fluffy.
Starting point is 00:32:13 How did that happen? After breakfast, everyone's gone to work. Yeah. Was it, did you already have the ring? Was it plans? Yeah, I already had the ring and I was waiting for a moment. And I was on to promote this TV show that I was doing, but I'd just finished New Zealand Idol, so they wanted me to do a song.
Starting point is 00:32:26 And so my stupid brain thought, I don't really want to sing, but if I do do a song, maybe I could sing a song and then propose. Why is she on the set? Why was she in? We flew to Wellington because that was where they did the show. And so she was just off-camera supporting me, and because they knew I was going to propose, they brought her onto the couch for the song. Oh, so did you run it past the producers?
Starting point is 00:32:47 Did you go, oh, by the way, I got a little, a little of something, something for you? No, I'm not so. You want good ratings, here we go. I floated it as an idea, but I was, honest to God, hadn't really thought it through, and as soon as they heard proposal on TV, they just, like, latched onto it, started organizing all the stuff, and all of a sudden, the ball was just rolling way too fast for me to slow it down. How old were you? 23.
Starting point is 00:33:09 So young as well. That would have been like, oh, that's a great idea. And then she would have gone over to the director and gone, oh my God, he's got some cringe stuff to do. We need to do it. And he's included in the show. It's going to be cringedastic. So you must have been very, very sure she was going to say yes.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Yeah, yeah, we'd been together since we were like 18, 19. So like four years or something. There were a couple of like Crizo's. They would have sort of talked about it. We were waiting until we were married as well. So we'd been waiting four years. So it was like, you're 23 seems young, but I've been waiting a long time. I can't think of anything worse than if I got proposed on television.
Starting point is 00:33:42 But Jamie would have loved that. Then I sang my vows again. It was like, just stop it. You are honestly one of the most cringe human beings of events. You're a different person. Honestly, I reckon I look back at anything that I did pre, like early, like before I was 28, and I'm like, it's like I'm watching a different person
Starting point is 00:33:59 that I don't know now. No filter, eh? Just no. So unfortunately that one doesn't sit as a Monday meat cube because it's fabulous. We'll bring that back next to it. We do cringe meat cutts. But we want to know.
Starting point is 00:34:11 We got some text. yesterday that were awesome. I remember seeing a woman who, since she met her, what was it, Chinese barbecue? Yeah. Yeah. Just a Chinese barbecue. Because unfortunately not everyone has an incredible story about how they met.
Starting point is 00:34:24 And so next week, Dan and I are going to try to pen something to paper and embellish, give a little artistic license to your meat queue and see if it, I don't know, sits better and you might start using that from now on.
Starting point is 00:34:39 I mean, we obviously need some detail that we can. can build on. You know, maybe it is that it was a Chinese restaurant, but we can change it slightly that was a little bit cooler. What's cooler than the Chinese restaurant? She choked on the egg fu Yong and he gave her the Heimlich maneuver.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Okay. Just that's not... I'm not saying that that's what I'll end with. Right. Good. We'll have the weekend to work on it. Monday Meat Quds is something we want to do next week in the lead up to Valentine's Day. If you have a story that isn't
Starting point is 00:35:10 overly exciting or romantic when people go, how do you guys get together? Dan and I are going to jazz it up and we're going to force Meg to read it. Yes, yes. That is my talent somehow making these boys hopefully sound a little better than their writing actually is. You've got a good voice because it used to be the voice of Spotify,
Starting point is 00:35:27 didn't it? It was, and then I got fired. I was also the voice of the rock and they got fired. Give us a bit of a... On Spotify? On Spotify? Do you know what? They're still bloody years in me?
Starting point is 00:35:35 Are they but no pay? All those sneaky buggers. Tap the banner to learn more. to add the banner to learn more for the next, and then what? And then the rock. On the rock, okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:47 That was Ozzy Osbourne. That was Ozzy Osbourne on the rock. I find that less good. It sounds like you're a little bit like constable. Yeah, it's a bit pushy. I haven't done it in a while to be scared, Dan. Your brother had to stop listening to the rock, okay, because he was like his being sexy between all the songs.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Yeah. Yeah, so here are some of the Monday Meet Cute stories that we got yesterday. Let's see if yours can rival these. My husband and I actually bet. at primary school. How we broke up, like, at the end of high school, maybe, like, separated for eight years, did other things, met other people, and then we got back to us.
Starting point is 00:36:18 I love it. When I was about 18, my best friend at the time was sleeping with this guy, and she was going to go over and see him. And he lived with another guy. So his friend was like, hey, well, if you're coming over, bring a friend for me. And me and my best friend worked out a little plan where she would bump me over, and I fell onto his lap.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Oh, it's too cute. I'm sorry. Not to his love. That's too cute. Oh, God. Somebody sticks in saying my husband made a bet with a mutual friend that he could sleep with me, 19, 8 years later. We're still together.
Starting point is 00:36:49 That's too cute. We were together about 18 months, and then we were just sitting at the table. Hey, in May, I've got a boy. Should we get married? Brilliant. I was like, what? So he had a buy in his rugby calendar and was that we could get married that day because I don't have a game.
Starting point is 00:37:04 Yes, we had a gap. Some of the worst. They were all pretty sure. shocking. Some sitters there. Oh, do you know what? The whole, like, I bet you can't sleep with her, whatever. No, I don't know too many tricks that have been real pumped at the fact that they knew you got with her because of a bet.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Doesn't that happen in 10 things I hate about you, whatever? I haven't, I don't think I've seen that movie. How to lose a guy in 10 days? I have seen that movie. That's the one I meant, sorry. And then she finds out not happy. It's, yeah, it is definitely weird to be a bet, I think, especially when he won't.
Starting point is 00:37:37 And you're like, oh, yeah, well, you know, it's just all. split the money with you. Does he get out of trouble then? Does he shout you on a date the next time? Yeah, with the money that he made, he takes you away for a weekend or something. You'd have to, I think. Someone else's texts through saying,
Starting point is 00:37:51 he messaged me through a friend on Facebook. So they didn't even direct message. I don't even know how that works. So it's kind of like getting a message from Dan Webby. Yeah. And Dan says, hey, it's Guy Mansell here. I think you're cute. And I go, Dan, stop it.
Starting point is 00:38:06 I know it's you. Yeah, it's you. I'm like, oh, fucker, she's got me. Do you want to go out? All right, hey, we'll keep you coming through. 3343 if you want to text us, your Monday meet you, get together story. And we'll choose one.
Starting point is 00:38:18 We'll chat to you Monday and we'll do our best to try and jazz it up in the lead up to Valentine's. I mean, the more boring, pathetic, depressing, the better. You know, where you're just like, Jesus Christ. Like meeting at a funeral or something. Yeah, that's good. Yeah. You were both pallbearers, but you didn't know each other
Starting point is 00:38:33 until you met at the coffin. That's actually really depressing. Maybe... Yeah, maybe not that one. Yeah. Well, just say, let us know. My meat's got an example? No, I don't.
Starting point is 00:38:43 It's a really bad. Yeah, she was actually saying, but maybe... Yeah, let's hear it. I was saying, like, what if you were eating a sausage and then it dropped on the ground? They said you dropped your sausage. That's all I had. That's what I was not going to say anything, because there wasn't any more.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Like outside of Bunnings or whatever? Yeah. It's actually quite cute, though, isn't it? Could be, especially if you love a snack. Yeah. Who doesn't love a snack? I'm a vegetarian and I love a snack. Yeah, you'd eat one now if you'd eat one now.
Starting point is 00:39:06 I wouldn't, but I miss them. Very, very exciting. Dan is going to leave the studio now and he's going to go and get into his chaparroin outfit. You know the one that she wore at the Grammys? Dan is going to look as close to her as he possibly can because he's going to try to attempt to hit the spot
Starting point is 00:39:22 with one of her songs at 8. But we're doing a dress rehearsal next. Maybe we go live on Instagram Meg so that people can weigh in and go, yeah, go for a Dan or no, do not put that on the internet. Okay, let's do that. Let's go live on Instagram if you want to see it. I'll do that.
Starting point is 00:39:37 On Instagram, you can text, I think, Insta, 3343 to get that. prosthetics, dress. Dan Webbie, hit the spot next. Clint, mega Dan. I'm not going to look until he's actually in here, Clint. Okay, it is going down 8 o'clock this morning. Hit it, hit it, get it.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Hit it. He hit the spot. Dan's going to try to attempt to hit the spot with a chapel. You know where he sings Alkapella, we bring it right back at the crescendo moment. See if he's still in time with the artist. He is the best at it. Other radio stations all around the world have attempted it. No one comes close.
Starting point is 00:40:07 And Dan tries to level up every single. single time and because Chapel Rhone is in the country for Laneway Festival, he's doing a Chapel Rhone dressed as Gramie's Chapel Rhone. Yeah, Grammy's Chappel Rhone if you haven't seen her, she had on a dress that looked like it was just a boobies out and then the material was hanging from that. But apparently it was like an actual dress that was covering her. So it wasn't any part of her, like your nipples were covered up. Right, so they were like fake nipples that had been pierced.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Yes. And then the fabric was attached to these tiny little, almost like earrings going through her nips. And Dan said, you know what? That sounds like a bit of me. wants to be Dan Webby up, Chapel Row and below. We haven't seen it yet. He's organized it himself. We're live on Instagram at the moment
Starting point is 00:40:45 so you can see the reveal at the same time. Oh God, I can't look until he's in the room because we've got a window that he's going to walk past. I'm not going to look until he's walking in. Is he walking? Okay, do it, do it then. Do it then. He's coming.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Oh, my God. How are we going? I've never felt more gorgeous. Oh, my. You have to say. said to believe how bad it is. I mean, there is a point, I think, right now, we're a sort of regret doing this, if I'm honest.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Well, that's why we're doing the dress rehearsal. Well, we can see your belly button. Someone said it looks too good. Like, too real. Too real. People are going to think that's your real body because the prosthetics are so good. I just really want to make chapel proud. That's all I want to do.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Meg, please say something. Hmm. This is radio. I really am. for words, Kierklint. In a good way. Does your lander from body effects want us to shout her out? Because it is?
Starting point is 00:41:51 I mean, it's very confronting, hey, because it's hard to look at Dan and not think that those are his real boobs. Please please don't. Please don't. Let me read you some of the live reactions to Instagram Live. Oh, my God, it's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Instead of 33443. If you want the link right now, if you want to see what we're saying. Mobs. Lots of, oh, my God. So lots of, oh, God, Dan. I love whatever is wrong with you was coming up a bit too.
Starting point is 00:42:16 I'll take that as a couple of it. I'll take that as a couple of it. Yeah. I just remember that this is my tribute to chapel. You know, I think she did an amazing job at the Grammys. I think she stole the show. That's all I'm wanting to do today. Oh, okay, so Dan is going to be singing this song.
Starting point is 00:42:36 The subway chapel row at 8 o'clock dressed like that. The dress for us all was so we can make a call as to whether or not that is too far for the video that goes on the internet. Well, it's sort of too late now because the thing is I can't take it off now because it takes about 45 minutes to put on. Dan, I don't know if we can.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Okay, somebody, Ross has asked for a jiggle. No. No. I think it's because it's made of latex or whatever it is. It doesn't jiggle much. People texting Chapel Rhone, boobs, outfit. No, text Insta to 3343, and you'll get the live feed. While we go to the break,
Starting point is 00:43:10 Me can stay on Insta Live just to give you a sec to see what you think. I can't look away. Which is a good thing. Or in it like sort of train crash kind of way. Dad, I honestly can't tell you. As you may, I don't know on this one. I'm the same. You know, sometimes we can't do that.
Starting point is 00:43:29 And other times we go, yes, definitely do that. I don't know where I. I don't know, Clint's the first time. It's up to you, Dan. I think it's up to you. And maybe if you check out live. Well, I can't get it off now, so it's happening. Prior soul.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Jesus, God, a couple of pussies, aren't we? Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, my gosh. Time for our Employee of the Week. Normally we would have a producer's diary on a Friday as we'd look back, but being a short week, we just thought perhaps we would look back at the mistakes that have been made on the show this week, and instead of awarding employee the week to the person who deserves it,
Starting point is 00:44:01 we throw each other under the bus and say why somebody doesn't, and the winner generally wins by default. I will throw Dan under the bus for taking shots earlier this morning at Meg's weight. You're going to be in the newsletter, so they're going to send out like a PSA to all parents there's a woman around the outside of the school. Barging kids.
Starting point is 00:44:20 I was just like, I couldn't believe it. Like, give me a little room on the football. Serial shoulder barger. She's at large. She's how big? Pardon? She's at large. I just had a baby, Dan.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Oh, I just mean. Like six months ago. It's a police officer. I'm trying to get back into running. It's obviously... And good on you, I've said that. It goes on for a while. Now, that is absolutely throwing me under the bus.
Starting point is 00:44:48 It's just a bit of a shame, but the real damn comes out on here at times. If you don't listen early enough in the morning, you won't see him. You'll spot him. Okay, so it's one point against Dan. Okay, that's against Dan. All right, mine's also against Dan. Oh, for the sake. I'm standing here.
Starting point is 00:45:04 I'm standing here. You're a choice. I'm already at a low point. This is absolutely on you. This is when we did romantic fiction where the boys wrote some seemingly trying to be sexy stories for women to enjoy. And Dan made
Starting point is 00:45:22 landmark skanky. I never seen anything like it, so tall. It was like looking at the sky tower. But if the sky tower had boobies. She was. You've said yours was answers. It's descriptive. It's boobies.
Starting point is 00:45:41 It's descriptive. You're imagining it, aren't now. Stupid. Yeah. Terrible. Terrible. Okay, so there's two marks against Dan. Dan, you get one vote.
Starting point is 00:45:49 I'm going to have to go for Clint. And I'm sticking up for you here, Meg, to be honest, because you were talking about how you used to do modelling. Oh, yes. Remember back in the day? Yeah, well, no, I did. I tried to do modelling. Yeah, it was many years ago, obviously.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Yeah, I remember. Yeah, I remember. And Clint had this reaction, which was shocking, to be honest. Did you guys watch America's Next Top Model? I entered a model competition when I was young. because of that show. How'd you go? I didn't place.
Starting point is 00:46:13 What? Dan, sorry, do it again. Do it again. Why was there a delay? What? Do it again. We missed it. I entered a modelling competition
Starting point is 00:46:22 when I was younger because of that show. Oh yeah? How'd you go? I didn't play. What? Hey, you missed him as well, buddy. It wasn't just me. I think that counts for two points against Clint.
Starting point is 00:46:33 Honestly, I think, I mean, both of those are you just insulting me? So I think I'm in the... Somehow I've won, but I'm the loser here. Yeah. Yeah, okay, so there's one mark against me. Two marks, maybe three against Dan. So congratulations, Meg is an employee of the week. All I do is we're celebrating.
Starting point is 00:46:51 We just called me big and ugly. No, no, no, that was you. Trying to misconstrue things we had said. Meg's accepting the flowers covered in mud. How's it's a lot. That's why we love you. A long weekend, Hall of Fame and Shame. Are you doing absolutely nothing?
Starting point is 00:47:10 Hall of Shame, or do you have the best plans going to be in a long weekend? We want to know about them. Can we bring it at the spot for because I'm starting to sweat under this latex? The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Going into a long weekend. Hall of Fame, Hall of Shame. What are you doing this long weekend
Starting point is 00:47:29 that you think you could have the greatest plans of anyone this long weekend? I mean, it's a real short week this week for Nelsonians. They had it Monday off, didn't they? They did indeed, yeah. Not bad. I mean, if you didn't take those three days off in your announcement, I think you must have beat there. What would be your most epic weekend
Starting point is 00:47:46 if someone called through saying they were getting married? Would that be up there for you? That'd be pretty cool. Bachelorette parties, hens do, stagdos. They're always fun, aren't they? About to go on holiday. A destination wedding where you're like, you're flying to Queenstown, you're doing like two or three days there. Yeah, they've got their last day here and then they're getting on a flight
Starting point is 00:48:03 tomorrow for their honeymoon, things like that. Hanging out with all your best friends, because, you know, if it's a wedding with all your mates and someone else is paying for all of it. That's got to be top tier long weekend for me. And this is the best day of your life a wedding, eh? You look back on it, you're like, it was a blur. But man-o-man, everybody you loved was in the same room.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Really? Oh, I think my, I think the birds of my children become before the wedding day, but I think my husband would say the same. But yeah, wedding day, top-thirty. I said the birth was quite stressful for me. I don't look back at it and go, oh, I love that day. Really? Yeah, I was like a bit stressed.
Starting point is 00:48:33 I know, just, yeah. But, yeah, obviously, weddings is just, it's like, you also plan it for so long, and it all comes together. Danny Al's just said, well, last. weekend was her first high rocks so this weekend's probably a rest weekend I guess. I wouldn't mind that too though. Yeah. Yeah. My every week is a rest weekend for me. I've spent probably the last four days looking at Airbnb's going no, probably not that one, probably not. And then getting to a point when everything's booked, I'll go back to the one that I wasn't keen on and now that one's gone.
Starting point is 00:49:01 And every single one that we had as a maybe option is all gone. And I just feel like we're just going to be sitting at home doing nothing. I'm trying really, really hard to feel sorry for you. Give me a Give me a sec. Give me a sec. Wait, wait. So you're going to be stuck at home with your pool. Hold on. That is tricky, actually.
Starting point is 00:49:15 No, I can't get there. Sorry, Clint. He always just ends up going to that swim up bar in Topol. He's always there. That'll be fully booked, mate. He spends it in, like, he's in that pool all day. You know, he just, like, gets out, he's all wrinkly. He's just wrinkled up for him.
Starting point is 00:49:28 He's drunk and wrinkly. No one knows if you're drunk in a pool, because if you swear, he can catch yourself way quicker. Why are you extra excited for this long weekend? What is happening? We want a hype up. We want to feel the vibes for this weekend. in Texas 3-3-3, you'll give us a call,
Starting point is 00:49:40 oh, 100 the edge of us. And in less than 10 minutes, hit the spot, Chaparone edition after 8 o'clock this morning. Dan's got the girls out, the pierced. He looks like Chapel Rhone
Starting point is 00:49:52 Grammy edition on the red carpet. If you know, you know, and if you don't, it's a quick Google. Yeah, Dan, when are you putting on the fake boobs? Oh, good gag, meek, real good gag. You're a classic, hey? Oh, 800 of the edge.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Public holidays really feel like we're extending summer as much as we possibly can. Is your weekend going on in the Hall of Fame? Well, shame, though. What are you plans? What are you up to? I mean, there'll be a lot of people whose weekend starts today with Laneway Festival. Yeah, we're going to see Chapel Rhone, role model.
Starting point is 00:50:21 Speaking of, Dan is going to attempt a Chapel Rhone song for Hit the Spot right after Easy Money at 8 this morning. Don't miss it. Sam, what are you up to this long weekend? I am getting married on Saturday. Yes. Oh, my gosh. How long have you been engaged? We got engaged in, God, May of 2024, nine days after I got a kidney transplant.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Oh my goodness me. What a year you've had. Wow, how exciting that you're like at the day now. You're like the wedding's here because 2024 to get married in 26. It feels like a long way away. I remember planning mine, but now you're here. And how's your health now? I know.
Starting point is 00:51:01 It's amazing. Yeah, really, it was such a life-changing. life-changing thing that happened and to make it even more special my mum was the one that donated. Oh, yeah, like did you know your donor? Oh, mum! How's she doing?
Starting point is 00:51:16 She's amazing too. Yeah, she's doing really, really well. So it's completely different life that we're both living now, but it's amazing. What a self-lust thing to do? It is because you're, you know, Sam is gaining something to make it feel better, but, you know, the donor is losing something. But I don't think you'd do anything for your kid, though, right?
Starting point is 00:51:33 Is that how it works? Oh, shut up, Clint. I just mean in the way that I don't think people realize how much the donor has to give. It's not like giving blood where you don't really notice. And then you just replenish your stocks when you leave. You don't grow another one. Oh, Sam, have the best wedding. Have the absolute best wedding this weekend.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Thank you guys so much. Have a great one. Thank you. So exciting. Zoe, what are you doing this weekend? Hi, it's my dirtiest birthday. Yes, get it. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:52:02 A lemon-themed birthday party. 30 with the twist. Oh, what? Lemon themed. Okay, so what do you, is it just all lemony drinks or like, do you have to dress in yellow? Yeah, there's, yes, everybody dresses in yellow. There's lemon drinks everywhere. The whole, like, vibe is outdoors with lemon decoration.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Pretty. Or do you have lemon cello? Oh. Yes. Okay. It's going to be very photo vibes, I imagine. That looks very cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Oh, wow. And have you, you haven't donated your kidney or anything like that? Yeah, no, that was hard to follow. Yeah, I wish we should have put her last. I'm sorry, Zoe. I should hang up, I should I sit up. Yeah, I'm thinking about it. Did you up?
Starting point is 00:52:42 Zoe, sorry about it. Everybody's going to suck after that. Having the best 30th. Oh, wow. So he's like, well, I've got lots of lemons at my party. Please do it! And then Jess, that's your wedding anniversary this weekend. Yes, my husband's driving a few cars ahead of me at the moment, listening on the edge.
Starting point is 00:53:00 I just wanted to say happy anniversary. Oh, cute. How long have you been married? How many years? Married for three, together for 11. I think you're like me. Do you get us? Whenever somebody asked me if I'm married, I'm like, oh, it's five.
Starting point is 00:53:13 But being together for 12. Yeah, just adding to the number. I don't like that. It went back to zero. What are you getting him for his anniversary? Or can we not say on the air? Or say a kidney. No, I can't top Sam's story.
Starting point is 00:53:27 But we are going to Hannah Springs for the weekend. Oh, yeah, nice. So it's very excited for that. Yeah, leave in the morning. Yeah, let's keep a PG, eh? Yeah, Hamlet's really... I know what happened to Hamner Springs. We know...
Starting point is 00:53:38 We're not... We're not at Hamner on an anniversary. Hydrus lads. Oh my gosh. I thought more the spa, but... Oh, right. Yeah, right. Hey, Sam, if you're listening, buddy?
Starting point is 00:53:47 Have the best time, all right? Yeah. Just wait for the green light at the top of the hydra slide because if you go too early. Living life on the edge. Yeah, of course. Of course. Okay, it is almost time.
Starting point is 00:54:00 We will give you a chance to win $1,000 with easy money in the next 90 seconds. and then Dan will attempt to hit the spot. Chapel Rowan edition, dressed like her at the Grammys. He's got the full chest out. The fabric is attached at the nips. And it's the highest notes I've ever done for Hit the Spot. I'm a bit nervous about that.
Starting point is 00:54:19 I'm so nervous about the costume anymore, too fair. We're going to live again, I think, for the performance. But yeah, if you want to crack it a thousand bucks going into the long weekend, 0800, the edge. Clint, Meg and Dan. Stinky B. The edge. Thousand bucks going into your long weekend.
Starting point is 00:54:36 How good with that? That be James. Poor bugger, got nine from nine. Med got question ten out and he got beaten by the buzzer. Let's see if Hannah can do it just as good, if not hopefully better. Hannah, your letter this morning is Kay. Hey guys. Hey, hey, guys. So Kay. Okay, so Kay, you need to give us 10 answers, starting with the letter K inside 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:55:00 You can pass. If we've got time, we'll come back. Hopefully you don't even need to. I reckon you can do this. And if you don't get there, just don't get as close as the last guy. Because then I think you can just kick yourself. I'll try. Okay, Hannah, your time will start at the end of Meg asking your first question. Are you ready?
Starting point is 00:55:17 Yeah, I'm ready. Okay, let's do it. Give me a four-letter word. A human body part. Me. A word ending in an I-N-G. Knitting? A female musician.
Starting point is 00:55:35 A path. Australian animal. Kangaroo. Something you find in the kitchen. A knife? A TV show. Kardashian? A type of chocolate.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Uh, oh. Kick it. Kick it. Yeah. You've got the answers in front of you. Yeah. Yeah, that was difficult. There was some difficult ones there.
Starting point is 00:56:00 I like something you mean with like knee and knife. Mm. For, for, that was, I thought that was clever from you. And knitting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you got all the, you know, the end-sounding words with your Okay, what a get seven in a pass?
Starting point is 00:56:12 Are you got through eight? Yeah, very close, very close. The ones you pass, female musician, Kasha, Katie Perry. Oh, I just think of Kasha. Damn. I should have said it. Sorry, Hannah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Hey, Han, you have a great long weekend. Thanks, Hannah. Coming up next, Dan is hitting the spot with Chapel Roan, a tribute to her dressed in her 2006 Grammy's outfit. If you haven't seen it, there's lots of footage on our Instagram. If you see Dan in it, you still haven't seen it. The chapels, I mean. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Chappel pulls it off way better than I do. I'll say that. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Hit it, hit it, bogey. He hurt it. Heard it. The most nervous I've ever been for a hit the spot for a couple of reasons. Mainly because I'm dressed as Chapel Rhone right now, her 2026 Grammy's outfit, if you know, you know.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Yeah, very loosely. Very loosely. She pretty much has a piece of fabric that was attached to her nipples, and then the rest didn't leave a lot to the imagination. I mean, this is a tribute to her. She stole the show. I'm not pulling it off anywhere near how she did it. I don't know if body effects want the shout-up, but we do appreciate the fake prosthetic movies
Starting point is 00:57:16 that Dan is wearing. Yeah. And oh my God, I'm so jealous if you're going to see Chappalo in today. I actually can't wait to see what she's going to wear tonight. She always does the best outfits. I've just realised as well, Meg, this will be the video that goes on the internet that will absolutely put a nail in a coffin
Starting point is 00:57:32 for Dan never being able to run for Prime Minister in the future. I think there were a few things before that. Clint. Christopher Loxon's gone like, oh, I'm all good now. Yeah, he's not shaking anymore. Okay, so Dan is going to attempt to hit the spot with a Chappelroen song called Subway. He's going to sing the bit right at the end of the song. This bit here that is almost an archipel.
Starting point is 00:57:52 From Chapel. Yeah. If you're new to this show, this will keep playing in the background. Dan can't hear it. He'll sing archipella and we'll bring it right back at the end. And hopefully, fingers crossed, he's in time. Okay, let's stop hitting around the bush. Let's do it, Clint.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Hit the spot. Chapel Rhone. My tribute to Chapel, our queen, playing today. Had Laneway. Okay, here we go. Maybe I could be Sally. Just roll me. Okay, let's just do this.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Okay, come on. Okay. Don't mark it up or you can look like it. Okay, here we go. Hit the jams, Clinton. Oh, God. She's got... She's got...
Starting point is 00:59:19 Can I take this off now? Because I am sweating. Latex is not breathable. Turns out. Oh, mate. Are all the people in the producer booth there for the hit the spot or the costume? Oh, they're doing the movies, probably. Bit of advice.
Starting point is 00:59:33 Benched, Jabaron, enjoy this live this afternoon if you're going. Clint, Megan Dan. Langway Festival in Auckland. This afternoon slash evening, alongside role model, Benny, Pink Pantheras, a whole lot of others. It's going to be a hell of a time. All right. The A-list again. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:48 Here we go. It causes arguments on the show, doesn't it? It does every time. It does every time. I think we might be safe with this one. Let's see if we all agree this morning, starting off easy. Britney Spears. A. She's an A-lister.
Starting point is 01:00:06 Ding, ding, ding. But, okay. Oh, I'm ringing the bell. All I'm just going to say is that Dan has this theory every time I say an A-lister. He goes, no, but they've done nothing. They've done nothing. They've fallen out of an A-list status. Brittany's done nothing for years.
Starting point is 01:00:21 But she's always in the news because people are always, there was the conservorship stuff obviously just as recently as like a year ago. Yeah, but you've got to, if you're going to use a certain formula, you've got to use the same formula for every celebrity. She's done zero. I still think she's an A-lister, but outside of dancing on her Instagram page, she hasn't done anything for a long time.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Are you a bit, honestly, like seriously, Clint, are you a little bit thick sometimes with this kind of thing? Because she's done amazing stuff when she was 10 years ago. Yeah. It's enough to keep her there. That's my point every week is that you can get an A-list status and then hold it based on what you did back in the day. Kind of like Ryan Seacrest.
Starting point is 01:00:55 You can't keep changing how you decide who's an al-lister. Wait, we're going to lock in. Pretty special that list. People would know what I'm trying. I love how he's arguing when we all agree. We all agree. Right. Kylie Minogue. I would say she is probably...
Starting point is 01:01:10 At A Lister as well. No, she's a B list. She's definitely B-List. I was going to say C. Pains me to agree with Dan. Shit, okay, B-Lister. I mean, she's famous, I think, in Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
Starting point is 01:01:22 I think in America she's not as famous. I actually think she is really famous in America, but I might be on my own. You can text C-3-34-3. I think she's been short-cut of. bit there. Kylie Minogue is extremely famous. Sort of changed. Shit. Okay. I like it better when you're arguing with him.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Thank you. Final one. Okay, so we both agree. Ben Afflin. A Lister. A Lister. B Lister. He's lucky he's with J-Lo. Because if he wasn't, I mean, to your point, Clint, he hasn't done a good movie in at least 10 years if we're going to go on that point.
Starting point is 01:01:54 He has. He's got a movie with like Matt Damon that's out right now. Haven't seen it. No one's talking about it. As you haven't seen, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist in the world. Ben Affleck. Yeah, no, he's a, if Kylie's a... He's an A, he's a hard A. Everyone would go, Ben's here.
Starting point is 01:02:12 And you'd know they mean Affleck. No, they go, who's that guy? I've seen him before somewhere. He was in Goodwill hunting, I think. Is that Matt? Is it? Okay, who's a more famous Ben? If Ben Affleck is an A, who's the most famous Ben?
Starting point is 01:02:22 I'll give you 10 seconds. Bunny. Benjamin. Bunny. Ben Bunny. Benjamin Bunny is the most famous Ben. No. not taking answers from you anymore, Meg.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Just you, Dan, and you produce the needs. I'll probably go, Ben Ben-Assi. Don't know who it is. Ben Affleck, I think, is the most famous Ben. Benjamin Franklin, the old president. Yeah, he's an A-Lister. Jane Texan saying Ben Affleck is not with J-Lo. Yes, he is again.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Yeah, if you missed that yesterday, they're back again for the third time. Someone said, so A, obviously, for, what was the first one again? Brittany. C for Kylie Minogue, which I tend to agree with in a B for Ben Affleck. but you were on the same page, actually. Okay, let's debate Ben and Kylie. Ben and Kylie.
Starting point is 01:03:04 No one's going to debate. Brittany's in A list. Yeah, yeah, Britney's on the list. Right, yeah. Oh, 800 the Edge Tech. 3, 3, 3, 4. I'm moving Kylie down to a C. What?
Starting point is 01:03:15 She's famous, but not worldwide. Meg, not happy. All right, the arguing has begun. What celebrities deserve to be at the top? At the A-list party, which ones, unfortunately, regardless of how hard they work, just don't quite cut it. We all agreed, Britney Spears is an A.
Starting point is 01:03:38 I think Kylie Minogue is an A, by the way, 80 million records sold worldwide. 11.5 million monthly listens, 1.6 million YouTube subscribers and 2.3 million Spotify followers. But being in the C list or B list is no mean feat. But she's got a top, she's got eight number one singles, and she's the only female artist who have a number one album
Starting point is 01:03:56 across the UK in five consecutive decades. She's the only one in the world, and she's not an A-lister, according to either of you? But just in the UK. I think in America and other countries She's just not as famous Dan's put her to see I'm at a B, so we're all, we're covering
Starting point is 01:04:10 all the bases, two of us have got to be wrong Right, what does Marie think? Marie, morning Good morning. Morning Marie. Now you're not, you're angry with me, aren't you? I know. Hey, you know, you have no idea. Remember Mortal Kombat, that was American, Jean-Claude
Starting point is 01:04:26 and, um, yeah? So, nah, she's an A list of. Oh, Kylie. She's an A, she's an A. What? People were saying, saying that, you know, she is one of the judges on a singing competition, and that's when you know they've fallen from grace. But to be fair, Britney Spears was also on America's Got Talent as a judge as well. We put her at a name.
Starting point is 01:04:45 Yes. Yes, Katie Perry. She was on it. True. She's a nay. So sorry. She's an A. What about Ben?
Starting point is 01:04:52 What about Ben? Ben Affleck. Ben's a nay. Have you not seen his latest movie? Oh my God. Thank you, Tony. Ben's a day. Ben's a day.
Starting point is 01:05:00 Come on. Come for me. I don't care. Yeah. Thanks, three. I agree completely. Let's go to Kristen. Kristen.
Starting point is 01:05:06 What about Ben Affleck? A, B, C. I'd say A, just because he's still doing movies, but I only really know him as Batman. Yep, that's true. And Kylie? And Kylie, I only know that one song, so I'll probably put her at a B-slash-C.
Starting point is 01:05:22 I only know one song by her. I don't know what these eight top songs are that you're talking about. You know her can't get you out of my head. She did the locomotion, I remember years ago. That was a banger. What song's that Is that for people over the age of Bloody Clint?
Starting point is 01:05:36 Yeah, I know, that's an old. Christian Nessler off. And what about you, Ellie? Ellie. Ellie, is Kylie? Good morning. Is Kylie an A, a B or in a C? Kylie Minogue?
Starting point is 01:05:47 Well, speaking as someone who's over the bloody age of Clint, she's definitely an A list. She was the UK Christmas number one. It was a heinous song. It was a heinous song. And she was still the Christmas number one. But it was a heinous song, And then she came back, Ellie, with Padam, Param.
Starting point is 01:06:05 I love this song. This was a gay anthem. Yeah. I, um, the thing is, I don't even like Kylie's work personally, but I can just see that she's an A, not that she cares about me. No, I think I'll be willing to put her up to a B, but I think she just sullies the A list. This is my way of seeing with Ben or Kylie. If I say, guys, guys, guys, guys, Kylie's here. Who are you thinking?
Starting point is 01:06:27 I got my friend Kylie from school. I mean, it's celebrity. A celebrity. He's here. Sliberti Kylie's here. Kylie. The thing is I probably would go Kylie Minogue. Would you?
Starting point is 01:06:36 Not Gina? I thought you'd go Gina or Kardashian. But no? Kylie Jenna's here. She's definitely the most famous Kylie. Well, I just asked you, and neither of you even bloody remember. Hey, what about this?
Starting point is 01:06:47 Can we let this one listener decide? Ben, but they have to answer the call. Ben A, Kylie B, and don't you dare call? So they text, but they said, don't you dare call? If we call and they answer, Then they get the final say on Kylie. Have you got her? I don't know why we shouldn't dare call.
Starting point is 01:07:05 I mean, the fact that they said don't call, I would say they're probably not going to answer. So far, it's hard to fix you what Ben there. We do like to poke the beer though on the show, but. Said to Louise, she's not a beer. She's a person. Your call had been 40. Oh, Louise. Okay, you had your chance to lock and your vote.
Starting point is 01:07:22 You didn't pick up. It's a tough one. It looks like Kylie has been locked down at a B. But Ben, it's a mixed bag, boys. Yeah, I think, look, Ben, Ben's an A. I think he gets lifted up, and he's lucky for this, that he's married to J-Lo, who is an A-lister,
Starting point is 01:07:37 and she brings him up definitely. But he hasn't really done a good movie in a while. That's interesting, because I think we've done J-Lo, and Dan put J-Lo at a B. Yeah, he doesn't know what he's doing. You've got to keep a book or whatever, so you keep your story straight. Yeah, she's now back up in an A because she's in the news.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Okay, so Kylie Minogue locking in officially as a B. Which means I nailed that. Dan, you were wrong. You said C, makes it B. I said B. He's still arguing we've decided. He's an angry little man, isn't he? No, I'm not little.
Starting point is 01:08:12 I don't want to bring the vibes down with his chat. But it's a life stage that I'm in that I didn't notice that I was in until Meg brought it to my attention. And I just want to make sure I experience every little bit of it and I rinse all of it that I can out of my kids still being kids. because I've got a nine-year-old and a 10-year-old, and my daughter's 10, and Meg spoke to me on the phone, and then our little girl's, yours much little, ended up chatting on the phone,
Starting point is 01:08:44 and my daughter's running around. FaceTime, yeah. Yeah, showing her room and stuff. And I remember, you know, Kimmy so clearly being the same age as my daughter, oh, it's got to get me going, I'm sorry, between four and six, and, you know, being that little girl, and, you know, what little kids do and getting excited over silly things,
Starting point is 01:09:02 and I just looked at her, and I said, like, oh, we're not, you know, obviously you never lose that in a child, but she's growing into like a young teenager. And I just was like, there's Cammy. How old is she now? How old is Cam? She's 10. And Meg coined a phrase that I've never heard before being like she's crossing the bridge
Starting point is 01:09:20 from being a child to being a young woman. And I don't, I never thought of it. And now I can't stop seeing her do things and trying to work out where on the bridge she is. Because she's on it, but I don't know if she's still walking. up the bridge or she's going down the other side and I wrote, I started thinking of some things like we went ice skating last weekend and she fell over and she cried and she just wanted dad
Starting point is 01:09:41 straight away and I'm like cool she's still you know she's on the left side of the bridge she's on the up part and then when I go home from work she's the first one to always meet me right at the door with a hug and kiss and ask me about my day she still holds my hands and my hand in front of her friends
Starting point is 01:09:56 we go to the mall to buy things like pencil cases and she still sleeps with her puppy that she's had since she was like a baby. Then I start noticing she wants to film TikTok dance trends. Thankfully still with dad.
Starting point is 01:10:13 She has a skincare routine that she does before she goes to bed because her mom does hair and makeup so she's probably got that from her. She's done with cartoons now and she loves shows like friends and Shits Creek. Oh that's hard. Being done with cartoons would get me.
Starting point is 01:10:29 And when she's shopping rather than picking up a t-shirt at Kmart she wants to go to glasses. And there are only a few things that she can get, but she is now shopping in a store that I thought was for young women and my daughter's only 10. And I'm realizing more and more
Starting point is 01:10:45 that I'm seeing her being interested in things that aren't something of a young kid anymore. We wondered if there was a time for you where you kind of realized they've crossed that bridge. Yeah, what's the moment? Did they not want to hold your hand anymore? Or, you know, I saw a wonderful text come in
Starting point is 01:11:08 and this is a good sign because you've got a lot more years if this is the case, Clint, somebody's saying, that's the thing, my daughter is 21. So I'm so sorry, just thinking about my kids. And she announced that she's in her high school sweetheart or expecting and I'm now going to watch them
Starting point is 01:11:26 become a mum themselves and that must be so tough. I talk to my mum about it sometimes and I say, is it weird that your daughter, you know, is his kids now? I actually, she does fairy parties in Wellington, and she did fairy parties for me when I was five with my best friend, Steph. And we just went, I just flew to Wellington with my daughter, and we celebrated her daughter's fifth birthday with my mum at a fairy party.
Starting point is 01:11:53 And that's just so crazy that, you know, we all just, I know it's such a privilege to grow up, but it's such a beautiful age that your daughter's at Clint, and so alarming and wonderful. It's a scary thing, but it's also, I'm grateful that you, I guess, got me thinking about this bridge thing now because now when I see my daughter really,
Starting point is 01:12:13 like, still loving Disney princesses, I really relish in those moments because I'm like, she's still a kid and I'm still enjoying that stage of her life. And I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Clint. A lot of dads aren't as present as you, and the fact that you were so present
Starting point is 01:12:29 and you notice this kind of thing, makes you such an incredible dad. And I look up to you as a dad, being the father of my own kid. Man. Thank you, bro. I appreciate that. I would love to know,
Starting point is 01:12:42 how did you know when your kid had crossed the bridge and they were officially off it? And a young adult. What is that moment? I'm still getting glimpses of the kid stuff, but I'd like to know for you when you go, right, it's done. I've crossed it.
Starting point is 01:12:56 What type of bridge is it? Because if it's a draw bridge, you can pull it up. Yeah, we put it back. No more. And we know, we're so. We're so lucky to watch our kids grow. We know that's the greatest privilege because not everyone gets that.
Starting point is 01:13:07 We know that, but it's still tough, I think, to realize. And no parent wants to be like, you're going to be my kid forever. You want to see the flourish, get a job. Every stage is fun. But it is sad when one stage is definitely over. My kids back at school from school holidays. And Meg, just to quickly recap,
Starting point is 01:13:24 told me that she's catching glimpses of my little girl who's 10 going from being a kid to a young lady. and she's sort of, I guess, crossing this metaphorical bridge. And I'm seeing her on both sides of the bridge with different things that she's into. And I wonder, how do you know when your kid has crossed the bridge and they're no longer your little girl? I mean, they'll always be, but they're not a kid anymore. Yeah, and we want to reiterate.
Starting point is 01:13:46 We know it's a privilege. This is all like beautiful, happy tears. But it's still hard to really realize you've lost that version of them without really even realizing it. It's just, you're like, oh, they didn't ask me to pick them up anymore. or maybe I saw this wonderful text saying when you can't carry them from the car when they're asleep anymore.
Starting point is 01:14:04 You know, that... Have you seen that TikTok where you pick up your kid for the last time and you don't know you're doing it? Yeah, it kills me. Oh God, that makes me Terry. I know, stop it, go right, let's get to other people's stories with a bunch of sad saps. Okay, right, some texts.
Starting point is 01:14:19 It was definitely when Christmas shopping became so different from the year before, no Lego, no toys. Clothes, makeup and perfume was on the list. There's been a glimpse of the bridge, but my daughter at uni in the South Island three years later she's living at home again they'll always need their mum and dad
Starting point is 01:14:33 no matter how they're grown and it's good to Georgia morning Georgia Good morning morning how do you know that they've crossed the bridge well I've been nannying my little niece after school ever since she started school
Starting point is 01:14:49 and this week she's started high school and she's catching the bus and she arrived on Monday it was soaking wet from the rain and I said I was like why didn't you call me? I would have, you know, come and picked you up in the car. And she's like, I just really wanted to be independent.
Starting point is 01:15:01 Oh, bless her. Oh, God. Next God again. When they don't need you at all, even in the rain. Yeah. It was very sweet. Even seeing them in like a high school uniform, that would get me. I remember even saying to my daughter, because I was talking to her about this last night.
Starting point is 01:15:16 I was trying to work out the things that obviously she used to be into that she's not anymore. And Disney princesses came home. She's like, no, I still like Disney Princess's dad, like Jasmine and Ariel. And I was like, what about Frozen? and she goes, yeah, I like Frozen because Isla loves it and Isla is like her cousin who's like two. So she's only liking Frozen because it's four children, like for her. Oh, it's not, I'm not coping, guys.
Starting point is 01:15:42 God, your makeup is gone. Copeen. Courtney, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. How did you know that your little girl was, you know, crossing that bridge into adolescence? When she no longer needed me to do her hair.
Starting point is 01:15:56 for her ballet and jazz and all that kind of stuff. So I used to have to buy those donuts for her hair because her hair was so thin and there wasn't enough of it. And now she fully just does it all herself and her makeup and I'm like, oh, my gosh. Yeah. It's not been needed.
Starting point is 01:16:14 She started when she was two and a half. Yeah. And now she's 11. Oh, wow. So it happens that quick. Yeah. Someone else said when your daughter stops calling you daddy and just calls you dad?
Starting point is 01:16:24 Does Cammy still call you daddy or dad? I have honestly I haven't noticed and now I'm going to start noticing because it's happening so slowly in front of you that you don't really realize and that's probably why Meg noticed it because it had been a bit of time between catch up since I'd seen her since I'd seen it someone said to me once when George was first born they said don't blink and I think that's so true because things just change so quickly when their kids hey you know they grow up don't blink it's because you never get to say goodbye to that version of them I'm so happy I'm so happy at every stage that, you know, my kids are growing up and I'm going to be excited to see them as young adults. I'm going to be excited to meet their friends when they're little kids. I'm going to be excited to see them in high school and finding their partners. But you never get that moment to just say, okay, goodbye to that little kid. On to the next stage, it just goes. Terina, what about this, this one?
Starting point is 01:17:18 We'll finish with this. She said, I just had my very last first day at school this week, dropping off the last. of my three. Imagine that's the last first day because they're, I guess, year 13. Guys, we need to stop Rebecca's text through saying, guys, I'm about to drop my four-year-old off at preschool.
Starting point is 01:17:38 I can't cope. Yeah, we've got to stop for me too. It looks like someone's... I'm actually drowned. Holy shit! You made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough,
