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. No, no, mind. Clint Megan Dan with Ash London. The edge brecky. It's harder.

It's awkward. One, two, three. Good morning. We're almost there, team. We're almost there. We're almost there. I feel so far away. What's today?

Wednesday. Yeah. When will it be over day? I've already gone. Wednesday, Dund day. I've already gotten to that zone, you know, between, like, Christmas and New Year, where you don't know what day it is. I'm already there.

That's actually the best time of the year. I think in anyone's life, when you go, is it Wednesday or Saturday today? Yeah. How good is that? I'm sending Buddy to Kimby in that period. Oh, are you? You should, period. He doesn't know, eh?

He doesn't know that most kids are off. He'll be the only one there. I don't care. Yeah. He'll have all that attention and all those toys. I think all schools are done now, eh? because I think one of my best mates he's a teacher and he had his last day yesterday

I think he was one of the last because he was complaining they were still there there'll be those schools those really like fancy airy-fairy ones you know the ones where they all tacked what are those ones private school no but they knock off even earlier which is crazy because parents are paying more money

for them to go to school for less time there's this high school down the road from us and it's really fancy but it's just like got like 30 students in it and it's just this one building and apparently it's like 50k year to send kids there That will still be going. What's it called? I know, you don't say that way you're going.

No, let's just wait until Dan gets it. Okay. Aim. No, it's something like that. I'll find out and let you know. Taint? No, Tate. No, no, no, I can't remember.

Tate College. It's very good, though. It's very good. No one's sending their kid to taint a university for 50 grand. There's a school, there's a school in North Shore called Crimson Age School. How weirds that sound? That sounds like a cult. Ask Chad GPT, you don't know.

Was anyone driving me kids to school later on this morning? Anyone? Or can we get away with whatever we want now at eight? Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my gosh. Us versus the playlist for your 6 a.m. throwback this morning. This time, yesterday, we ended up playing Nirvana. Oh, that was so good.

It was a good first song, wasn't it? It really picked sharp. That song, smells like teen spirit. Oh, what a rando one again. Something like, oh my God. There's a bloody MKTO again. I mean, there's an option. The thing is, we haven't really.

I imagine we go from Nirvana to MKTO. Oh, Dave, give me tickets to that gig. Go on, Clint. So what, Kurt Kameen comes back on the dead and there's a Nirvana concert and you're like, nah, I'll take Malcolm and Tony, thanks. It could just be called like, um, Spotify shuffle and you buy tickets

and you don't know which actors is going to come out next and perform a song but they're all live and they're all random ads If all the bands are there on like the bleachers you can see them all It's like Nirvana's there

but if the shovel doesn't come out and play and you have to watch MKTO plays with the time Navarna comes up is the last one the guys are all wasted because they just think it's not happening Okay the final two bands left

is Bewitched and Navana let's see it and then Bewitched ones Somebody was there, look like we does. Yeah. Uh-oh. Nightmare.

Oh, well. There would be fun, though. It would be fun. Fans get paid regardless of whether they play or not, so they have to show up. I've got an idea for one that's going to be up there with Nirvana. Oh, Mattel. Can I get an encore? Do you want more?

I mean, that would be a pretty good Lincoln Park and Jay-Z. Yeah, there's a good song. The other option is, Adele, her song, her album 21, was released on this day in 2012. That's an interesting time to put out of an album for Christmas. Unpopular opinion.

Adele's just kind of in the background for me. She's just kind of background music. Fair enough. But you like MKTO as a front... I think otherwise there's also Christmas options. A few of people throwing that out. I don't realize

Taylor Swift had one. Yeah, Christmas Street Farm. She's got actually a couple. This is not Christmas Tree Farm. This is a lesser known one. Sander Baby, yeah. Did she do a whole album? Just a couple of songs.

Just a couple of songs. Yeah. Okay, Ash wins. Gets what she wants again. Yeah, piss job, isn't it? Good song, though. That's so good. Thank you, thank you.

I remember when this came out, what a sound. That was so good. You said, this is a great song, and then Jaycey said, thank you, thank you. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Thank Ash for that one, swarmed out Florence in the machine. I just remember that I've interviewed Lincoln Park before Chester died. I love Lincoln Park. They were awesome.

He was so lovely. I heard Chester was really lovely too. It was him and Mike Shinoda. And they were absolute sweethearts. I wonder who hit up who for that, Colab. We've discussed that before. I thought you know who had approved for that interview. I was like, oh, I'm pretty sure we asked them.

They were like, I want Ash, London and no one else. From Melbourne, Australia. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Jay Z like, can I come on your song? Or Lincoln Park, like, can you come on ours? I'm going to look into that. Because it was so unexpected.

Because in 2025, yes, rappers and rock bands will collaborate. It's a thing. Genre is very more, it's a lot more kind of, like, less structured. But back then, I think it was like, no, if you're a rapper, you stay in your lane. I like to think probably Jay Z reached out and Lincoln Park were like, hey, he wants to do it. Yeah, of course. Because, you know, he might have these, like, rappers that you think just like rap,

and then they've got this, what do you call it, guilty pleasure. And all of a sudden, like, Lincoln Park's Jay-Z's guilty pleasure, and he's like, I'm just going to flick him a message. I want to do a song with them. They were groundbreaking as well, Lincoln Park. Like such a, it was basically a new genre of music where they were kind of combining like this rap with rock.

Because Mike Shinoda did rap in a lot of the Lincoln Park songs. So there was an MTV, like a pilot idea about, around mashups. and they got Jay-Z involved in it and they were like, okay, we're going to do this thing about, like, we're going to get unsuspecting bands together and Jay-Z loved Lincoln Park and chose Lincoln Park.

So they did one song, and he was like, oh, no, we need to do a whole album. Wow. Isn't that so cool? And then Lincoln Park must have got loaded when Transformers started using their music. It was like, I don't know, all through the movies. Especially after, they've done something like 9 or 10 or something

transform movies. It's all the same. It's robots smashing each other to death at the end. We can probably talk about this very quick. because my wife won't be up, but I lost my son yesterday inside a J.B. High-Hine. Jesus, my nightmare. So I got to let him out of the pram because I was doing a last minute bit of Christmas shopping and I was like,

I'll let him out of the pram because he's getting a bit restless so I let him out and I was digging through some records to like climb because my mum's got a record player and I was digging through trying to find it and I was like, shit, where's the worst feeling in the whole way. And you know how you're hard? He's not two years old yet, he's two in February so he's walking but like he has no idea of stranger danger and anything like that. So I was like,

looking around. Were you yelling George straight away? I was like, George, yeah, like that. And then you start getting panicky. The louder you shout, the worst parent you look. And then one of them's like, this guy's lost his kid here. I mean, farmer's like, whee, I'm going to be. And bless the lady, I forget her name.

I'm just like. But she works at J.B. Hi-Fi in Albany. And I want to say thank you to the lady that helps me look for him. He was under one of the record bins. Oh, my gosh. How long for? Because that one minute is 10 minutes.

Probably, it was probably two minutes max, but it felt like an hour. Two minutes is a year. Yeah. What's the worst that can happen to him in a JV. Highfire? A person can take him? Oh, mate. Kidnapped. I thought he was gone.

He's a cute kid too. Anyone that has a two-year-old for more than an hour would have been like, this was the worst decision ever. I was like thinking at Christmas time. And when you want to go away, you've got to take the kid with you. Oh, man, that's such a bad. That's a drop ball. You'd be proud of him as well because when I found him,

he was under the record bin holding onto an in-sink box. Oh, wow. Oh, boy. Dad, buy it. Our boy. Yeah, and I was like, oh, Clint would be proud. Did you buy it? No, it was $170.

Whoa, not enough. That's cheap. And I just, I remember I've still got a box of your vinyl's by the front door that you let me for my drive footage. Buy your front door. Can you put them inside, please? No, no, no. Inside the house. Okay, they're worth more than you.

I believe that. It's to remind me to take them to work, but it's dark when I leave, so I'll see them. It might not be true. What's your insurance? What's your life insurance worth? I'm not going to say that. Well, trust me, think of that number and then double it, and you've got the worth of those vitals.

There's a first pressing of 1989, Taylor Swift. I don't think I'm worth anything if I die. You have a life insurance? No. Clinton, you have a wife and a family, and you're the main income earn. I don't want my wife trying to work out how to kill me to get money. I've seen those movies. She's going to do that.

It's more that if you die, she won't be destitute. Yeah, well, good. She ain't going to try and put a knife on my back because you get nothing. Your life's not worth much anyway So the premiums will be very low Yeah Yeah It's like $15 a month

Do you have life insurance? Yes What do you work? Of like 150 bucks No You'd be like half a million Yeah it is I think Hannah gets half a mill

If I die Oh Jesus I would not be standing Anywhere near cliff tops Over the summer holidays With no one else around If I were you dad Yeah

I'd push you for half that She's what's wrong with you She keeps getting me to stand next to cliffs I don't know. Put a photo bag, get a closer, closer to the edge

for the photo. Yeah, because that's like, you're on the edge and stand on the edge it'll be funny. Like, go babe. Why are you holding a knife

instead of a camera? Clint Meg and Dan. Lesh Cole. Clint Meg. And Dan will Ashland dinner at least for the next three days. Mm.

You're going to cry. First call of the day. First call of the day. When am I going to cry on Friday? Yeah. Of course they will. They're going to cry. Oh, don't cry.

Are you joking? Don't bring it down. And Meg's coming back. The two of us are just going to cry for a whole hour. You'll be like, are they taught? Is that English? No, well, you'll be fine. You've only worked with us for four months.

It's not that bad. Six months, and it's the most fun I've ever had on radio, and you're the most talented people and the best producers I've ever worked with on radio in 10 years. Your words, morning, Rion. There you going. How are you, mate? Rion, that's cool.

That is a cool name. Yeah. I think this is probably the coolest name we've spoken to this year in 2025, left it to the last minute. How are you? Thanks, sir. Yeah, good, good. Yeah, so you're from Blenham.

Carl, our producer, spout at Blenheim. I know my machine here. This is the first time you've called today? Shut up. No, first time you called today or ever? Pretty much ever. I've never got a pretty good. Hello, Stranger.

For the first time. I always wonder what happens in the psyche of people like you, Rion, who have been listening for a fair amount of time, to go, today's the day, I'm going to give them a call. What is it? Pretty much. Just thought, no, I don't know, give it a go. My brother's name is Ramon, Ari, M-O-N.

In case you wonder. How have you kept that to yourself? That's a cool name as well. It's like Rion, but with an M. And you got ash. I know, right? It's true, though. I love this for you, though, Realon,

because for a lot of people calling a radio station can be kind of like scary or whatever. And so there must be something happening within you that you're going, you know what, I'm going to take more chances. I'm going to say yes to more opportunities. Is anything happening in your life at the moment, Rionne, it feels a little bit magical? No, no, just the norm.

It's cruising along. You got a new job that you're starting next year or anything, and you're like, new year, new me? No, man, no, same one, still loving it. What do you do for a crust? I operate a 13-half-ton digger. Of course you do. With a name Rion and you operate a digger like, that is a huge digger. Yeah, well, Dan Webby's nursing a semi at the moment, just thinking about it.

I am. What's, what are we talking, Kamatsu, Kat? Hightachi. Hightachi, I would have said that third. And what do you dig, like, rocks and shit? Like, what do you, what do you construct, like, demolition? Pretty much. Yeah, all sorts. All sorts.

Do a bit of vineyard development. They're a big digger. We had one of them in our backyard and stuff like that. Backyard ones, and that's a big digger to have in the bank house. Do you get paid, like, hourly re-on, or are you on a salary or job per job? But contractor, how does that work? I work for a big company, so just, yeah, just down. He just gets told where he does and he digs.

He just brings the ticker out. When we're digging in a vineyard, you need Rihon? When was the last time you accidentally put the bucket through a power line or a house? No, not allowed to. It's got to be four metres away. That's right. Have you read that book about the big digger and the little digger, and the little digger gets stuck, so they bring the little digger, then the little digger get stuck,

so they bring a big red little yellow digger, and there's like 12 diggers in the backyard? Sounds like a confusing story. That's so good. very famous book. You used to read that to my daughter at most of time. Thank you, Rayon. He knows what's up. Your little yellow, I mean, if you're a parent, you should.

A little yellow dick, that's right. That was Buddy's favorite book, and once I couldn't find it anywhere. And so I asked my spidey senses, where's the book? Where's the book? And I kept feeling, go outside. And it went outside, and it was in the middle of the road. And it had been run over by a car. It obviously fallen out of the car.

And it'd been run over. Still good. Yeah. It's still got it. It's got a tie tracks on for one of the pages. More authentic. More authentic. It's actually worth more now.

Yes. Well, it's been a pleasure talking to you this morning, Ria. I hope to make this not your last call. Yeah. Yeah. We'll try it more often. You have a Merry Christmas, my bro. And you're all there, because we're going to so we can go spend that in store at Z as soon as you like, bro.

Awesome. Thanks, sir. Thanks, bro. Yeah. Good to talk to you. Yeah, what a guy. Diggers, I love, I wish I could. I've operated a digger before.

There's a lot of levers to pull because you've got to, you know, the bucket one. And you've got the guy out of all the people I know, you're probably one of the best. pullers from some of the stories I've heard. Thanks, Clint, that's one of the nicest thing that's enough for that. Z has a new pie, the Gourmet Chicken, Cranberry and Bree so you can get amongst that. Rion and everyone

else. Look what Hannah's just texted. She's obviously like the sound of Rion. My Hannah-R-R-R-A-R-R-H. She said is Rion single? Yeah. Get him back on to, I think he's married. You single, Rion? He said he read to us.

Happily married. Oh, that's better than unfortunately married. Hey, well done, Rion. That's a candy. Sorry, Hannah. We've all seen that before. Unfortunately, I'm married.

Why is it unfortunate? Halfily married. Well, Hannah, she was just having a digger at the digger. Unfortunately, I respect it. She's shooting his shot. That's what you've got to do in this world. You know what I'm saying? You'll find your Rion, Hannah.

Don't worry. Reon. Unless that's Hannah, my wife, in which case you will never find another. You've got the best you can do. Do not leave Dan. All right, we'll get an entertainment scandal up date next. Ash is Fizzing at the Bunghole

To share a story with us I don't ever say fizzing at the bunghole To me ever again The Clint Meg and Dan Podcast Gossip and a team Scandal Guys we were talking

And having fun And I forgot to get scandal We thought because Asher was Like in the conversation She must have like had it sorted But Jessica I know this all right I came in to talk to you about a client thing

As well that we were meant to do for scandal But don't worry about it We could just do anything here, I reckon now. Was that the hydrofacial? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guys, uh, Moi, who came in yesterday. Moe. Huh?

Like Joy. Moie. Moy, that's right. Yeah. Moe, like Joy, uh, out in East Auckland came and gave us hydrofacial. Oh my God. Haley and Yvonne. I didn't get to see, how much gunk they took out of your face because I only saw me and Dan's gunk.

They were very, they were very annoyed that it was Billy any. Oh, you've got all that fake tag. Because it looks like they've stripped some of the tan out of your face. No offense. You do look less tanned today. You look much whiter than usual. Yeah, you do. That's pretty much what happened.

So Clint and I went at the same time, and you know, so you get this hydrofacial, and then you get a jar of liquid, which is basically the gunk from your face and, like, the liquid and stuff. Mine came out like a sort of grey, kind of like you all guys did. Clint had this real sort of distinct tint of orange,

which was all the straight, tan being straight. It was like the only time I ever had a similar shade of orange is when I did it on an oompa. Yeah, yeah. Or you know when you drop a, what do you call it? That's a twisty or whatever in water, yeah. Yeah, Carl, the amount of floaties and his, though, the girls were fissing.

They're like, look, look at it all, look at it all. I was like, so much, Chris. I think there was still stuff still in my skin from my landscaping days like 20 years ago. And then, yeah, it was his first, Carl's first facial. Wow. And then we thought we could save the liquid, and for who dares Dan on Friday, we're going to get him to drink it. Absolutely not. It's not enough money in the world.

Absolutely. Oh, there would be. There would be. Everyone's got a price. Would you have $1 million? cash tax-free drink. Which one? Oh, Carl's.

You have to have half a cup. No, you've got to finish it. It was probably only... Probably, yes. For a million dollars, yes, I would. Who wouldn't? Who wouldn't? See? Oh, sorry. I've just arrived and the briefcase I miscounted

there's only half a million in cash. Yeah, probably still. Okay. Reverse auction? Oh, but then I spend some. You know what? I'd probably do it for 10K, to be honest. I really would.

10K. Dan money, not share with Hannah money. Exactly, or Hannah's not finding out about it. I might buy her a box of the thing of roses or something. Yeah. But I mean, yeah. Box of roses. Every woman loves roses.

No, I mean the boxes. No, I don't mean the chocolates. No, I think he means a box of long-stemmed red roses. That's what I'm imagining. Whatever, you mean the chocolates. Sorry, Michaela. She said I'm gagging. Move on.

I love nothing more than when listeners tell us to wrap up segments. Yeah, it's like Aaron. She was like, okay, slow news day, is it, guys? on from this. That was yesterday. Oh, okay, sorry. It's the last week, all right? We're always down for your feedback because we do this show for you, the people. So we need that real-time feedback. To be honest, I think some of these people need to be our producer because Carl doesn't do it enough.

Nah, he's just in the moment, love and life. And also, we're padding because Ash doesn't have a bloody scandal. Paging passenger, Ash, London, please make your way from the departure lounge. If not having a scandal prepped is sign that I'm in the departure lounge. I've been in the departure lounge since July 17. Just quietly. Right, well, if you do want to get amongst it, Moiskin, M-O-O-I-Skin.com. Check out the website.

And we have some, we've got something to give away, don't we? The hydro facial, it's like 589, but they've got it for like, sorry, 289, but they've got it for 239 if you use the edge as your promo code. Yeah. Even my 16-year-old nephew when I got home was like, wow, you look really pretty on a yacht. I was like, pretty cute. Yeah. So if you don't say that, he said as usual.

Okay, so if you're in the East Auckland or can get to the East. Auckland area and you want to go yourself a hydrofacial, treat yourself. Treat yourself, we got a free one, right? A free treatment? Yeah, okay, give us cool. Oh, 800th the edge and we'll sort you out. Love it. Give you one free and go see Haley and Yvonne and see how much gunk comes out of your face

and then you can find out how much money your friends would need to drink it. And you look pretty for the festies over summer. Oh yeah. Yeah, you look all skin nice, beautiful. Okay, is this the greatest gift to get the person who has everything? Dan thinks he's found it. He loved it so much. He bought it for himself. I'll guarantee you

that no one, like, even if they're super rich, they wouldn't have thought of this. And it's a game-changer gift. I can't wait to hear, darling. I'd love to know from you what you think the best gift is to get anybody anytime. Because there's lots of people out there, including myself, that still haven't quite

finished their Christmas shopping and they need, you know, there's those people, those niggly people in your life, they've got everything, what do I get them? This is the perfect gift. And it involves the smartphone. So I think every one of us spends too much time on our phone. Way too much. And I'm filled with self-loathing over it.

Yeah. And you do it like, you don't even know you're doing it a lot of the time. And there's no way to actually fully block your phone from, you know, using the apps. Until now, there's this new invention called The Brick. And I think it's... It's been served up many times to me on the old Instagram. Yeah, I just got served it the other day. And I was like, this is so cool.

So it's basically a physical little brick, sort of the shape of kind of like, I guess, a building block that you get for your kids. You know, like D-Clo. And what it does is actually properly, physically blocks all the apps that you choose to do. How does it do it, though? Well, here it is. Glad you are.

This is how it turns your smartphone into a dump phone. Open the Brick app and select which distracting apps and websites to block. Step 2. Tap your phone to the brick or hold to brick from anywhere. And instantly activate break mode. All distractions are blocked and a timer starts tracking your time bricked. Step 3. Place your brick somewhere out of reach.

Because brick is a physical device, unbricking becomes a deliberate intentional act. Step 4. When you're ready, tap your phone back to the break to unlock your apps and websites. So that's the whole difference between, you know, blocking them on. Because there is settings on your phone where you can make it so it's blocked, but it's not fully. They're crap. And of course, Apple purposefully do that because they want you on your phone as much as possible. So the thing you can do, this is cool because it means that you can hide that little brick away.

Maybe you're going away to a, you know, on a holiday this summer. You could leave that brick at home and take your phone away. You can still have the functions on your phone, like phone, texting, all that stuff, but block all the apps. I think I'd want to take the brick with me. Like baby steps, baby steps. Like I could leave, you could leave the brick in the hotel room while you go out for the day. I would just need to give the brick to Adrian. He'd need to be a hold of his brick.

Yeah, and then you end up wrestling him for it by the end of the day. I would, because I'm so addicted. Yeah, so, and apparently it's, I'm just on the web. site now, so it is, I think you get 20% off now so it's usually $100, so now it's down to 80. So it's the perfect kind of price for a loved one? It's such a, and is it an offensive thing though

to give it to someone? Is it your way of saying like you're on your phone too much? Well, isn't it the gift of it's actually really good gift? The gift of time. It's giving you your life back. I often get into an existential crisis over the fact that sometimes I feel like Buddy will turn 10 or whatever and I'll look back and be like, I missed

so much quality time with him. I miss so much creative time because I was on my stupid phone and what did it give me nothing yeah yeah um aden's just messaged in saying i'm not sure if aden uses the brick but aden oh it's on the line my love you were on your phone for how many hours a day what was your screen time about about about eight and a half hours a day okay and are you using the brick or have you found a different method to try and restrict your phone usage no i just just told myself i need to put of down. So I just... Wow. Cold turkey.

Yeah, just cold turkey. Try and chuck it away in my spare time, do something else. What's it down to? What's your screen time down to now a day? Four and a half. Come on. Oh, you've harmed it. Well done. That's awesome.

So it's like four hours a day. That's 30 hours a week. You're getting a whole day back to do like what, like actual things that are going to fill you with joy and life and good on your mate. Yeah, that's really, really good, Aida. Yeah. And a lot of, oh, sorry, cut them off. Maybe more present.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Because we've all had moments, I'm sure, as parents, where your kids come over, like it happened to me maybe two days ago, but he came over and put his hand across my phone screen and said, Mom, look at me. And I was like, oh, my God. Okay, if you've managed to do an Aden and cut your screen time in half,

what has been the game changer? Because I think in 2026, we all have this sort of like soft New Year's resolution. We were like, yeah, next year it'll be good to spend less time on my phone. But then whether the reality of that actually. It happens. Jess has got a good option. Maybe we could talk to her next. She said only my husband knows my screen time

password so I don't bypass it. That's a good idea, giving it to the loved one. Yeah. Okay. All right, what's your hack for cutting your screen time down? Are you just rocking a 3310 Nokia now instead of a smartphone? Brick is a product that you can buy that allows you to disable apps on your phone. Then go and put the brick somewhere else

and effectively it turns your smartphone into a brick phone that only texts or calls until you then go and scan it again. I remember that time of the year where a lot of people are making New Year resolutions. I reckon many news resolutions next year will be get off my phone more. Definitely. What's your hack, though, for cutting your screen time down if it's not

going and buying another product for 80 odd bucks? Well, Jess has gone and done it. You've got your husband to be the gatekeeper. Yes, so only he knows my screen time passwords. So once the limits are up, I can't view it anymore. Oh, so you've

set a limit that you're only allowed to be on certain apps or your phone for, say, an hour a day. once it hits that hour, you need to put in a passcode to extend it. Yes, yes. So I've got like Instagram at 15 minutes and Facebook an hour, that kind of thing. Yeah, and so was he the one that enforces? He's like, Jess, you're on your phone too much. Give it to me.

I'm going to put it all. You, the one that gave him the power. No, I gave him the power. That's a thing. It's only going to change if you're the one who can recognize that it's. I kind of love that, because my wife would come groveling to me, be like, please, I need more time. and I'd be like... Oh, yeah.

Anything? My wife would take the passcode off me so fast. That's a dangerous thing to give Clint anything. How often, Jess, are you able to persuade your husband to give you the codes and let you keep scrolling? Oh, I can if I need, but there has to be a pretty good reason. Yeah. You couldn't give it to her someone that's just a pushover, eh?

Just be like, give it to me, they're like, okay. Yeah. My wife would be good at that. Oh, my God, she'd be a stickler for the rules. Yeah, Hannah. I'm scared of Hannah. Like, I'm a bit obsessed with her, but also a bit scared of it. Oh, there's nothing to be scared.

Thanks, Jess. You have a Merry Christmas. You too. Thanks, guys. Love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.

Someone else says, I don't know if it's an app called Focus Friend, where you can set a time to lock all your apps. Then they're going on about knitting hats and socks. Yeah, brilliant. Maybe that's the time that they now have. I think as well, you're right, Klin or whoever said it, you need to have a certain degree of yourself that is willing to drop it. Because you'll always. find a way around it, even if you do have the brick. You know, you still have the brick

to unlock it. So I think you have to want to be able to not use your phone as much. It's true. And like most addictions, because this is what it is. That's an addiction. No one ever beats an addiction until they decide that it's ruining their life and they want a different way of living. And I'm definitely there because it's

the self-loathing for me. I just feel like crap when I like finally managed to get myself off my phone and I put it down and I look at the time and I'm like, I just lost 45 minutes and I gained And if someone turned around and said, right, okay, tell me the things that you saw that made enough of... How did that make your life better? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You'd be probably shots going, okay, well, definitely didn't. Whereas 45 minutes, I could write a chapter of a book in that if I, you know, like, God, I'm just, yuck. Well, you're going to need your phone next because $1,000 to give away with easy money. Yeah, just need to be able to call the 0-800-year, just give us 10 answers.

Your letter today is H, H for. Ho, ho, ho. I'm not very good at a Santa voice, am I? Dan's very good. Come on, goodness. Much better. Merry Christmas children. Very good.

I love you. Oh, and wrap it up. Okay. Okay, Sammy, ready to go? there we go sweetheart I wonder if stepbrother could do any better

yeah yeah true H you've got 30 seconds your time starts after I finish the first question beginning with H can I please have a movie title

Home Alone A tool A tool Hammer A city Hamilton A musical instrument Pass.

An exotic destination. Hawaii. Something sticky. Pass. An actress. Or, um. Oh, no. I was doing right there.

You were. At the start. Harmonica for the musical in show. Oh, Halliberry. That's what I was going to say. Yeah, wow. What about something sticky? Honey?

Yeah. Horse radish. Hot glue. Sticky horse radish? I guess you could be construed as. Sticky hands, my son always. I'm so sorry, Sam. That was a good effort at the start, though.

You just lost it towards the end there. Yeah, yeah, a couple of niggly ones get you off. Yeah, exactly. Have a Merry Christmas, my bro. Yeah, you too, guys. Thanks, mate. Back again at 8 o'clock if you want to have a crack at it. All thanks to a novice glass, chip or crack on your,

windscreen this summer, just call your local nervous glass brunch. Don't hit up on the old man. Hit up nervous. Also after 8 o'clock, we're debuting our brand new Christmas song for the first time. We do it every year. And we've all been involved. Ash, Clint, myself. Meg is on it as well.

And a couple little special guests as well. Cool. All right. Dan's Google history, though, Nick. So you need to hand your phone over to Ash with your passcode as we go through the things that Dan's been searching and find out if we can learn a little thing or two. You won't. Clint, Meg and Dan. All right, are we ready?

You've got enough goss on Dan? Oh, yeah. What's in Dan's Google history? Isn't sexy, isn't weird? Well, it's a hard. A great big mystery. But there's something new to do. Dance Google history once a week we go through it.

Just a bit of an insight into our Dan. But also, you may learn something that Dan's Googled this week that you didn't know about. Yeah, just use Google more. Mountain bike backflip. Followed by Mountain Bike Full Face Helmet. Oh, yeah. Well, I'm. I'm getting back into mountain biking.

One of my big New Year's resolutions for next year. We're getting a bit fit. I'm leaving the gym because I never go. You don't go. Mountain biking. It's much easier. Anyway, but I was Googling backflips yesterday because Clint said you could do a backflip. No, you said you can do a backflip on a mountain bike and both of us were like, no, Darl.

Well, I'm going to try by then next year to be able to do one. A backflip on a mountain bike. A backflip. You can do them. Yeah, but don't break your neck. And also, Hannah will never let you do a backflip on a mountain bike. What she doesn't know, doesn't her? I would love to come down to when, you know,

because I imagine you learn back flipping into a foam pit. That'd be fun. We could go down and watch you do that. Unless the bike falls on top of you when you're learning. That's scary. Yeah, true. Well, you've got to, you'll learn ways to avoid that, obviously. That's why I was Googling it.

You should get one of those spine, like, things as well, not just the helmet, I reckon. You know, the whole chest plate and it sort of keeps your back in your next straight. That's all scary. Good. Ten best Angelina Jolie nude scenes. by Angelina Jolene Naked Movie At 11pm last night

I could explain That was because Hannah and I were talking about She was like, I love Angelina Jolie And I was like, have you seen that movie Where She gets nude? And then we had this dispute about what movie it was And I still to this moment Haven't figured out what movie it was

Because there was She doesn't do it often I don't think there's any movie Where she's got her boobs out There is, no, I've seen it I remember but I just can't remember What movie it was So if anybody could

She's actually just done a Vanity Fair one of the big magazines, and she posed showing her mastectomy scars. Incredible. She's never done before. Yeah. Okay, next up. Oh, Daniel.

Why don't chimps have butt cheeks? Why are chimps' bum so different to humans? What animals are genetically close to humans? That was because this was at the zoo the other day we went, and there was a lady there that was saying that chimps are like very, very close genetically to humans, like to the point where it was like 2% difference. I was like, that must be all in their ass. because there's no, like the words, especially the baboons.

Are they like the pink bums? No, they're the baboons. But even the chimp's bums are completely different to a human. Like, they're not anything the same. But apparently it's because we have butt cheeks because we're standing upright and balanced, whereas chimps still haven't, what's the word, evolved to a point where they need the buttchecks,

so their muscles haven't developed as much. So it's just bare bottom there. That's quite interesting. I'm glad you googled that because I learned something today. That's why we love this segment. man to be inside your head though like 24-7 it must be but knowledge is power Clinton and that's why I'm the most

powerful person on the show no and I think the knowledge you possess is quite as a lot of it's like useless information yeah Sarah's text through saying thanks for that fact that was really interesting so you're welcome did she? Oh that's weird I don't see it she text me personally oh did she oh you're getting personal DMs

from listeners yeah thanks for that Sarah I wonder how your wife feels about that All right, so that's just monkeys' asses and Angelina Jolie's breasts. And back. Everything weird. And I think Meg actually is going to be back on Friday for an hour because it's our final show. Yeah, she'll do the final hour of the show and then I'll hand over and I'll piss off

and I'll never call you back. All right, who's been the naughtiest this year? Your love is my drug Unless you're in these parts of the country And then you're doing other sorts of naughty stuff They reckon New Zealand's cocaine usage Has surged 43% this year Wow, that's actually quite scary

Like all the things in this world we have To entertain us, to make us feel good And people are doing coke again So how they test that things by testing like the water And then they work out, you know I guess what the percentage is. Yeah, and then they can go to work out which parts of the country are doing what, if you're like, how did they know?

So, turns out Auckland region has had the highest cocaine consumption over the last year. And Bayer Plenty follows closely behind Aucklanders. You know, been a little bit naughty there. What do you think, Waikato has topped the list for? Yeah, I would have gone weed or marijuana. Nope. Actually, no, they're not first. Northen's first, then Waikato.

For what? Methamphetamine. Oh, yuck. You don't want to be winning the META. Don't do meth. Don't do MET. No one's life is improving long term after. Do you know?

You know? I had a mate who was a year behind us. So say we were like year 13, he was year 12. He skipped year 13 and went straight to university. So he was actually almost like two years ahead of his himself. Oh, he was really smart. Very smart in uni, beautiful girlfriend, very good. good-looking guy and got into meth

and then a year later he's living over in the Gold Coast and he's a blackjack dealer now at Jupiter's Casino girlfriend left him his teeth look like shit like how does that happen like you're such a promising future and then you just... I don't know you try one thing and then it's spirals

and I have so much compassion for obviously but just don't start you know what I mean. Sometimes you just mingle with the wrong people as well I don't know we have so many opportunities in this life to really do well and it never ends well for anyone. Yeah, so Norton you had the highest average of meth followed by the Waikato Southland

had the lowest meth usage but the highest rates of MDMA. Oh gosh. It's all, it's all freaks me out. I'd imagine more use as well coming up to festival season. That's another thing. If I'm going to sound like such an uncool person again,

if you're going to a festival, please be careful what you are putting into your body. And you can get them checked. Yeah, if you don't know where it's come from or you don't feel comfortable or any part of you is thinking something about this isn't right, just say no. Just get them checked.

Have a beer as well. There's no questions asked. You just take them to those booths. Most festivals have them now and they just check them and tell you if it's stuff that you can. What you think it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so 43% Surgeon, 2025.

That is your year in review. Coming up next on the show, Ash Linden is going to be jumping on the desk and pushing buttons because she's going to be running the Ash London show next year in the afternoon and she needs to start learning how to fly this thing.

I've only been doing radio for like 12 years guys so it makes sense that I'm learning now. Yeah, so Dan and I were like well why don't we spend a little bit of time this week you can make a mess on our show

so that your show when it starts is you know exactly what you're done. So it'll be a bit of turbulence next and that's to be expected your first time you've flown it. Yeah, no judgment. I like how you're comparing what you do Clint to being a pilot.

Oh, what a loser. If I'm the pilot, Dan's the he hostess, and even that's been a bit much. Who wants some cassava chips? Yes, please. Go to the vending machine. Now. Don't encourage him to go to the vending machine. Why?

He's still here. Clint Migg and Dan. Bloodline. Alex Wairoar and jelly roll. Clint Mangan Dan with Ash London. It is 727 and it's everybody's favorite segment. Scandal. It's a scandal.

Quite a scandal. Scandal. With Ash London. Dan Weby. And we've swapped round. I'm on the buttons. Never done it before. my whole life, my heart's beating so fast.

Well, this is what is happening next year. You're doing your own afternoon show. You're going to be pushing buttons. And so far, so good, Ash. Very well done. Yeah, dog, you're killing it. Thanks, dull. Because I thought, you know what?

Even though I'm 39 years old, you can always learn new skills. Is my bed still a bit hot? Do you think? That's scandal bed? That's a bit less. I bring it down a bit. This is Aaron's scandal talking about streaming numbers for 2025. I put these facts and figures together from multiple different sources.

So the biggest streaming numbers for any song of 2025. This actually surprised me. Die with a smile by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. You play a hook there. Oh, she's good, eh? I love this song. So far, I'd say she's keeping it tighter than Clint ever did. No.

I'm Dan, by the way, eh? Am I Dan? You're all in different spots. Oh, you're supposed to be Dan. You're supposed to be Dan. Yeah, so just shut up. What do I normally do? What do I normally do?

Just roll with the punches. be a good bastard. The track that was streamed the most, so that was on Spotify, the track that was a different track on Apple Music that was the most stream. So it was APT by Rosa and Bruno Mars. Here we go.

Oh, I love this one. She's good. The interesting thing about that is both tracks feature Bruno Mars. So he's had a huge ear for streaming. And have you ever heard that theory about him that he's got a huge Vegas gambling debt?

Because why he's doing this huge residency in Las Vegas. So it's probably good that he's got the hardcore, you know, money coming in from that streaming. But he wasn't the highest earner of streaming numbers in 2025. That went to Taylor Swift, $160 million she earned across all the stream platforms. Come on. She deserves it all. She deserves every dollar of it.

What do you think of that, Clint? I did it hit the spot, Taylor's song once before. And everyone kept saying, oh, is this guy married? I want to marry this guy. Were they saying that. That's what we were saying that. I remember that. Interesting.

Would you want to do anything now, Dan? Now that I'm here pressing some buttons, is there anything I can get for you? We sort of need an out really, don't we? My scandal bed's about to finish. What would I do in 24 seconds when there's no more scandal bed? Clint normally pushes the extension bed, which doesn't have an intro in the start of it.

Oh, Clientbe extension. It's in yellow just above the one. I can see it, but if I press that, it's going to go scandal with Ash London again, isn't it? No, the extension, because that's why it's an extension because it doesn't have any imaging. You lose me, Ash. Got it. I got it, guys, I got it.

Can I have a donkey sound? Donkey, best I can do is a... Okay, hold on. Gosh. Donkey. Is this your idea of doing the out clip? Like the big laugh at the end? I don't really know what you're doing most of the time, so I'm just...

I don't know if I would have asked for a donkey sound. Can I give you a pig instead? Go on. Oh, yeah, great. Hey, look. Throwing stuff at it. That's all you guys do to me. Look at it.

Was Aiden there? Morning, Aiden. Hey, Aiden. Hey, how you going? Good, good, how are you? So good, darling. What can we do for you today? What can I press on the panel of buttons for you?

Nothing I just called up to express my excitement for the Ash London show coming up. Bless you little heart, sweetheart. That's so lovely of you. Well, Jan 19, we're kicking off. Jan 19, okay, sweet. I'll be your first listener. Oh, but you've made my day, Aidan. That means a lot to me.

Thank you, sweetheart. Yeah, that's lovely. Yeah, all good. Good start. I thought this was good. I mean, even though it has been quite shambolic. this break. It hasn't been the shambles that I thought it would be. I think you've really kept it tight.

Thank you. All right. Well, anything before we go? Anyone and want anything else? Or can we just get out of this break? I think you just intro what's coming next. Yeah, you just tease the next thing. Oh, I can't do it. Okay, up next. Oh, are you getting a Christmas song tease? Oh, yes. A Christmas song that we've been working so hard.

Yes. I mean, Daniel, I've written a song. I've been scurling away behind the scenes. I've allowed you guys to sing on it, even though you're not as good as singers as I am. And, yeah, we're going to debut that after 8 o'clock. Okay, we'll stick around to see just how good we sound as we bring the Christmas spirit.

Clint was just running off, adding some vocals. Oh my God, can I just say, I've just heard it with Clint's vocal? Amazing. It's actually really popped. People are going to be confused about why you're talking about yourself and third person. Yeah, we got there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm supposed to be being... Okay, again, I'm trying to get us out of this break. I'm you, Dan. Your Ash and Ash is me. Yep, yep, yep, okay. So can I get out of the break now? Okay.

Well done, everybody. Here's the thing about winning on the edge. We were going to do a remake of that, that, eh? Where's my husband? Yeah, but he's lost in Bunnings. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and just wandering around. I don't know what the hell's going on.

Or it could have done a more topical one lost in IKEA. Drew. Yeah, where's my husband? But to be fair, we thought we'd invest our energy into a Christmas song. Not a comedic Christmas song as well, which is what we ended up doing last year. Yeah, I think a lot of people will be thinking. that this is, you know, we're going to be doing a few gags and stuff. No, this is

full, I've leaned in and tried to write lyrics that hopefully will pull on heartstrings. Paying passenger, Ash, London, please make your way from the departure lounge. Sorry, you just walked in. What were you doing? I just press the buttons for a whole break. I need at least half an hour of you worshipping at my feet.

I'm sure whatever you're doing is super important, what was it? Warming up my risotto, because I'm starving, Marvin. Oh, cool. And you're going to eat that during the break? Yes. Okay, cool. Rizotto, I think, is the ultimate first date food because it's filling

but you can't spill it it's very lady like to eat it's not messy I'll just get this break back onto the tracks so we're doing a Christmas song and yeah so Ash you've sung on it Clint you've sung on it as well and I will say I think you've done both beautiful jobs thank you so much we don't want to let you down

because you take these very seriously as you should okay do you want to hear there's a little bit let's play a little bit of it now I've just got a thing this is Clinton Ash line He's making a list And he's checking it twice Going to find out if you're an or you're nice Santa only has one Christmas witch

Clint, it sounds like you thought it was a country song There's nothing country about it That's my tone That's just my thing We'll try our best in this world, Daniel We can't all be at your level Sorry for you. Wow, here's my level

Let's just play a little bit of that It's the most beautiful time of the year Came self the best line And after he's done spreading all love is winter chill. It was just the line that no one else could reach the note. It's a bit like, it's a bit whiny. That's like, it's just like get to the, eh. Why did I get like half a line and Ash got the other half?

And you got like two? Yeah. When I got the script, it was like, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Clinton Ash, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Clint. Oh, what? Yeah. It was all highlighted. I had, I was like purple. I only had three lines and a full song.

I was like, please, can I do an extra line? and then Dan said, shut up, you're lucky you're here. I reckon, you know what, I think we've all got equal lines. Even Meg has a feature in the song, which I do believe is the best part of it. Yeah. If it didn't have this part of Meg in it, I don't think it would be as good. Raj has already text going, mate, you already told us about the secret while then.

Good for you, Raj. You're obviously listening at a time of weakness where we shared the secret and we shouldn't have. But Raj, he has kind of got it right, but not as well. Oh, okay. So Meg's been tasked with something you're. To put on the song Which isn't her vocal

Which is unique But we will debut that at 8 o'clock And Meg's vocal is in the song In some of the group singing bits She's got a group She's going quiet, quiet But yeah, we'll play that just after 8 o'clock this morning Okay

Crapp parent or not next I took my kids to something that My wife said they shouldn't have been going to And I was like, they'll be fine Turns out she was right Clint, Meg and Dan Oh my gosh Last night I took my kids to the reboot

My Anaconda don't My Anaconda don't My Anaconda with Jack Black Who my kids love They love Jumanji They love Minecraft I was like to love this Have they seen Nacho Libre?

No You've got to show them Nach Libre They'll love that True Well the movie premiere was on Last night And we actually

It's our must-see movie It's out in Boxing Day If you want to double pass You can give us cool Is it a comedy version It sort of must be if it's got jack in it. There's a little bit of, yeah, like there are parts that are definitely funny. There are parts that are very jump scary and that's probably why it's rated M, violence and offensive language.

And I said to my wife, kids will be fine. It's just about a snake. She looked online and said PG 13 and my kids are 8 and 10. And I said to her, yeah, PG, parental guidance. We will be there, babe. And we'll... Isn't it meant to be... Doesn't that mean if your kids are 13 and I don't know?

over, they need parental guidance. Yeah, so they can watch it, but they just have to have someone with them that's an adult. They can watch it from 13 to 18. A responsible adults. But it's not Arthur's, you're not restricted. It's like PG's. I don't know. I thought it was just a bit of a loose like, you know.

Up to you, you know. How did it go for you? Parent, how you want. Okay, here's a little bit of the truck. Action. Put your face right up next to the snake. Bro! Come on.

Go! Maybe it'll be okay. Cuting. So it starts out a little bit of fun But obviously it gets it gets scary Is there gruesome bits like blood and guts and stuff Yeah, some bits I don't want to be in spoilers

Oh not a lot And so the movie obviously starts a bit scary And so my daughter straight away I was like mum come sit with me And so Ty's sitting with me And then he moves from his chair And he sits on my lap And then he's like

And he's like huddling And then I do that thing where When it's get really intense And I go, Buh. What is the wrong with you here? What a sick individual? He goes, don't dad, don't do it.

And I'm like, Ty, it's just pretend, mate. They're acting. It's all pretend. But it turns out with probably 20 minutes ago, my daughter's like, no more. I'm out of here. And my wife's like, I'm going to have to take her. So when she leaves, she's 10.

Then all of a sudden, my son's like, I'm not staying here by myself. I'm like, you know, by yourself, you're with me. So anyway, he leaves. So my whole family's gone. I'm just watching the end by myself because my kids are two wussies. I mean, I will say that on face value, this does look like bad parenting.

But I, to a certain degree, think that there is a right of passage as a child. Thank you, you did see a scary movie, you know, and it does shock you. And it still scars me for life when I saw Halloween. The Michael Myers movie when I was like seven or eight. And I remember there's a scene, yeah, like really young. And I remember there's a scene where he gets stabbed and you're like, think he's dead. And he falls out of a window. And you see him laying on the ground.

And she goes, thank God he's gone. And then she turns back. and he's disappeared. Oh dear. For me, it was the movie witches. You know, when the ladies all peel their faces off and they're all witches underneath? They turn their little boy into a mouse?

That movie was disgusting. Yeah, I haven't watched a scary movie since I was in year one and mum was away and dad, I suppose that dad was babysitting me but I guess dad was just in charge and he thought it was appropriate that we watch Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho

Brilliant Is that the one with the shower scene Where she gets, yeah, that's so scary movie She's just like living her this life How old? Grade 1 And then I went to school the next day And I mentioned it to my teacher

And she was like, your father will let you watch what And then the teacher told my mum And then my mum got so angry at my dad Okay, what was the movie your parents should? I shouldn't have let you watch growing up. Is it already coming in? Someone said Jeepers creepers. That is a scary movie.

Sebastian watched that. Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like it at all. Okay, what was the movie that scarred you because you watched it when you were too young? I don't think Anaconda's going to get the kids. Actually, we'll give away a double pass to the Anaconda movie because it was bloody good.

And Paul Rudd, the bro does not age. He's been going to Casey Clinic. Someone watched lots for Warriors when they were eight. Oh, my God. Cook me some meat. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my gosh. We're talking about the fact that I took my kids to Anaconda.

They've done like a reboot with Jack Black and Paul Rudd. We've got a double pass to giveaway. It's out in cinemas on Boxing Day. It's our must-see movie, the funniest must-see movie for Boxing Day. But my kids are only 8 and 10, and they got scared. And it's the first time we've had to leave the cinema. By we, I mean, my wife took them out of the cinema because I was like, we're almost at the end, man.

I think maybe because it was in a big screen as well. I think if you'd just watch it at home, maybe it would have been fine. book, the anaconda in full HD, you know, six feet tall. And then my daughter asked if anaconda's real, and I'm like, are they? Yeah, they're a real snake, and they are huge. Probably not as big as the movie suggests, but they are a massive snake. Has Jamie seen an anaconda in the flesh? I think she has, yeah.

Not for a while, though. No, not for about four days. Yeah. Okay, what is the movie your parents shouldn't let you watch growing up? So many texts coming through on this. So I think we've really hit a nerve. We'll go to Amy first. Morning, Amy.

Morning. So this scarred you for life when you were seven years old. What's the movie? 13 ghosts. I've never heard of 13 ghosts. What happens in that time? I go go go to it. It's pretty haunting for a seven-year-old to be watching this movie.

To be fair, any horror for a kid under 10 is diabolical. And ghosts as well. That's the thing you're scared of as a kid. When it goes dark at night and you're in your bed, ghosts are the thing you fear the most. Someone else said they can't sleep in a room with shutters after watching E.T. They were like, no, just can't do it. E.T.

Yeah. What happened with the shutters? I think E.T. is in the closet, isn't he? Oh, because they're scared that there's an alien in the closet. I was thinking shutters of, what's the, here is Johnny, Jack Nulkinson one? Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's the shining. The shining. That's a scary shutter one.

E.T. does come out of the closet, though, eventually. And then he hops in the bike and, yeah. But he's a lovely alien. Oh, yeah. He's a lovely friend of him. Should have probably watched to the end. He was great. He came good.

Okay, so Jessica, you were actually still a child. Good morning. How old are you, Jessica? Oh, my God. I'm 11. You're 11. And when you were 10 years old, what did you watch? I watched Deep Blue Sea.

Was that the shark one? Yeah. Yeah, it's got big, big, real big shark, and they trap it in that, like, special enclosure. It's got LL Cool J and stuff before. Jason Statham jumped on. And I think Samuel Jackson gets his head bitten off. Oh gosh.

Jessica, were you scared or were you back in the ocean the next day? Apparently, my brother just said that was George that you were completely wrong, maybe. Yeah. But I don't usually go to the ocean. Okay. Good chat. Hello, cool, Jay definitely wasn't in Jaws. No, he wasn't.

Yeah. But anyway. He had like a parrot. He was a chef. Isn't it funny how Jaws has literally, like, from then till the end of time, it's what you think about now when you go to the beach for one film? Yeah, and I think you were less likely to get attacked by a shark, but it's a similar, like, to getting struck by lightning.

Yeah. Like, it's very rare that people get attacked by a shark. Still be safe around them, though. Sebastian, what was the movie for you? Six years old, do you watch what? It's creepers. Jeepers, creepers. Now, what is the premise of Jeepers Creepers?

I don't even know. It's just like some vampire-looking dude that just kills people and steals their faces. Oh, man, you have watched six. Oh, who let you watch that? Was that mum or dad? I don't even, I think it was my older siblings, to be honest. Yeah, bad influence, eh? And it would have been, it would have been rocking them up.

They would love it. Yeah. That's right, he steals their faces and eyes, and it's like jeepers, creepers, how did you get them peepers? They take the pears the pears. Someone else stepped in Chitty Chitty Bang. Didn't the kids get kidnapped in that? Yeah, Zara, she's on the line now. Zara, Chitty-chitty-bang-bang, I mean, on the surface, not a scary film,

but when you think about it, it's scary. So scary, like horrible, that creepy guy that goes around with the creepy cart and he pops around the corner of children. No, absolutely no. He's called the kitty snatch or something in their movie, isn't he? Yes, he is. He's disgusting. Well, how old are you now, Zara?

I'm, oh, gosh, 35. Okay, so you should be alright with Anaconda. I think you'll be right. We'll send you a double pass. It's our must-see movie. It's our unboxing day, so you can go enjoy it after Christmas. Oh, cool. Thanks so much. You're welcome, babe. I think kids' movies have changed in the last few years.

A, witches was the same, the one where they take their masks off. That was disgusting. Here's another one that came through a few times as hell. Here's Johnny. The Shining and also It. Yeah. Hey, Georgie. Oh, no.

That's when you're like, okay, she's thinking outside the box. Yeah, Rosie, I reckon if I was you, I'd try to keep calling because you could, I reckon you were getting close. Yeah, better showing. I think so too. Thanks, Rosie.

So if you have a windscreen repair, the needs looking at, you know where to go. Don't call Dad, call Novice.

Are we doing the song next, Clint? Yeah, mate. Is it ready? The first showing of our brand-new Christmas song features Ash, Clint, myself, Meg. It's going to be good. I haven't actually heard it yet. I've just been in the recording process.

This will be the first time I've heard it too. Hakes, are you nervous? Yes. You don't need to be. You're so talented. This time next week, Christmas? Is it my own already thinking that? Thursday.

Thursday, yes. It would be Christmas Eve. Oh, I love Christmas Eve. I think that's my favourite part. Yeah. Yeah. The anticipation. And we do a Christmas song every year, don't we?

Last year we did three different versions. Meg's one took it out. And it was a real pull on the heart strings. Yeah, we kind of did jokey-ish songs. Meg went serious and she won. So then we were like, right, let's lean into that. It's clearly what the people want. And this year we decided to put our singing talents together

and put together a song where we were all singing on it. Including Meg, who joins us now on the line. Morning, Meg. Morning, yeah. When you said we all put our singing talents together, did you mean me when you were saying that in your head? Oh, yes, I guess so. Yeah, you were also in the recording session.

Right. In your own special way. Well, have I, have I, as my track stayed on the song? We don't actually know. I don't know. We haven't heard, though. Like, the first time playing it will be the first time. and we've heard it.

Did you ask anybody to take me off? Not necessarily. No. But I also didn't say to keep you on. Ash, you're being very quiet in the background there. My love, I also haven't heard it. But you know that I'm your biggest advocate for you actually aren't a bad singer.

You're on her okay singer. Okay, so what we do know is if Meg isn't singing on this song, Dan, you didn't say take her off. I definitely didn't say take her off. And neither did you, Ash. so it must have been an executive decision by Grant, the audio producer. I'm playing Grant the nicest person in this building. I'm saying if someone's taken Meg off, it's not me.

Meg, that would be the most surprising feud at MediaWorks for 2026. Meg versus Grant. I'm kind of here for it. Fight for life, 2026, you two in the ring. But Meg H-Mage match. There's also another surprise that people should listen out for when we play the song. Yes, there is. There is.

I might not be singing but there's a little special guest that's very dear to my heart that is making a debut for first. I think it's actually her second because I think she might have made a little debut on her first Christmas song last year but this year is kind of special

because she's sitting here listening and I think she'll actually get it this year so I'm very excited to hear. Well how exciting let's give it its first ever spin. Have your tissues ready if you're listening because we've tried to pull on the heartstrings again this year. Meg! Ew.

Sorry. It's a sex joke. All right. All right. Here we go. This is Santa's Christmas because Dan said everyone's thinking about themselves

and Santa's running around stressed out and not a lot of people thinking about what Christmas is like for him. Yeah, some would say that Santa is an analogy for mums, but that's fine. Yeah, some would say it could be. It could be.

Here it is. Merry Christmas. 12 days till Christmas jingle bells ringing away Santa Claus is coming to town he's ready for the day He's making the list and he's checking it twice Gonna find out if you're naughty or nice Santa only has one Christmas wish

It's the most beautiful time of the year and after you're done spreading all of this winds a cheer you'll land is slay when the journey's done and be happy just because he knows that someone loves him and her name is mrs cross she says i don't want a lot for christmas there's one thing i need There's a lady who's dressed all in red and made my dreams come true He looks into her eyes and says all I want for Christmas is you Mommy, who buys Zanda a present? Well, I guess Mrs. Claus would buy him a prison. Mr. Claus?

Yeah, Mrs. Claus is sent his wife. Mrs. Claus lost Sandra away. I'm sure she does really miss Santa when he's away. Yeah. I love you, Santa. Merry Christmas, everyone. So look up in the sky this year when you see this lay above. Remember it's the time of you to be with the ones you love.

Be thankful for the presents and that time of family. But it's not all about what's under the tree. So find that person that you love and let your words ring true. Look into their eyes and say all I want for Christmas is you. Oh, so hopefully that could show. And you have such a gift, my love. Oh, God, it was everybody, to be honest, Meg, as soon as Daisy came in, there were, Ash was gone.

Too much. Tears, tears. Too much. Yeah, my husband died is, um, is we peed and, you want to hear it again. Oh, Dave's a big fan. She's one of us, Meg, she just wants to hear herself on repeat. We'll be thrashing it throughout the next couple of days, but, uh, you can text Santa to three, three, four, three.

It's called Santa's Christmas and you, you will get back a link there to listen to it in your own time. But I kind of wanted to get across, so, you know, that Santa celebrates Christmas as well, but hold the person that you, that you. love tight. That's all that matters. That's all we really have at the end of the day. Everything else can disappear, but the people are what matters and the relationships and the love. I don't want to point out what I thought was the obvious,

but did you hear your vocal, Mick? Hey. I was listening really closely, and I just told myself in one of the harmonies that Ashted that it was me. Yeah, yeah. I think yours was the harmony, actually. We were really, really close and turned it really

You got to shush the kids in the car radio if you would have heard her. Yeah, she's there somewhere. Yeah, yeah, be sure. See you Friday? Yeah, it's loud in my house. Yeah. We'll see you Friday, Maggie. Love you.

Bye, guys. Love you. If you've just tuned in, you missed the debut of the Christmas song. We put together as a team. Meg's daughter, Daisy, even featured on it. Yeah, best part of the song, I reckon. So cute. How long did it take it, you reckon, to get...

Well, I've heard the raw audio. Right. Like, Meg used to, like, she had to, obviously, record with Daisy. She's got the patience of her. saying to help me. Those kids, they never do what you want. Like, she'd be saying their lines perfectly until you start recording. And then she'd be like, I want a treat.

And you're like, come on. Yeah. Yeah, the amount of bribery required to probably get those lines. Nicole, Merry Christmas to you, bum. Merry Christmas to you. Yeah. Did you enjoy the song, Nicole? Yes, it was just beautiful.

Great work, team. Team the edge all day, every day. Woo. Come on, that girl. Love you, Nicole. If you did miss it, you can text Santa to 33433. called Santa's Christmas. We'll send you back the link. Thank you. Andrea,

a couple of tears from you this morning, my love. Oh, definitely. Guys, hi. How are you? Merry Christmas, Andrea. Oh, Merry Christmas to you guys, too. It was so beautiful. I'd made me think about my son. How old's your son? He's a teenager now, but it's mean, you know. Oh, so is he off hanging out with his mates over summer and stuff?

Is he out of the nest? Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah, no, it was beautiful. Oh, thanks, Sandra. Good on you, darling. You're great mama, and have a wonderful Christmas with the fan. We love you.

And Donna, you were bawling your eyes out as well. Oh, yes, you got me real good, guys. Wow, that was amazing. Oh, yeah, this... Oh, Daisy, you look just so gorgeous. This is the Daisy, but... I'm sure she does really miss Santa when he's away. Yeah.

I love you, Santa. Merry Christmas, everyone. So look up in the Christmas if we want. So he's so cute. So cute. She's like, stop playing it again. Danny, I'll text through. I'm done.

Are you doing much for Christmas, Donna? No, a pretty quiet one here. My friends would tell you guys that I'm probably the biggest grinch ever, but it's all about the children, eh? And that just really, really hit home for me. It was absolutely wonderful. Well, you come to that much of a grinch if you're crying over a Christmas song. Yeah.

Jim Carrey won't. doing any of that? You do have a heart, Donna. Yeah. I do have a heart. Yeah, it's just, yeah, it's, yeah, it's the kids. Yeah, totally. It is great seeing Christmas through their eyes, eh? Oh, and they get up at like four in the morning on Christmas Day, might do. That's when we wrote the lyrics, I think that was kind of what I was trying to get across, is that it is a stressful time a year, and, you know, a lot of people,

you forget that it is just about spending time with family at the end of the day, isn't it? Yeah, unless you go to Fiji, whatever, because you've decided that you've done Christmas with the family for many. many years. Yeah, or checking into a hotel, just the three of you so don't have to cook

or clean us anyone. So there's different morals for different people. Clint, Megan Dan Spinky Boo. Once a week, we take a look at some of the fake music kicking around

that has been made by computers and AI, and we decide who did it better. Real music versus fake music. Real music, obviously? Iconic 80s song, eh? You want the R&B version? Yep.

Okay. Take on me. Oh, yeah. Take on me. Take me on. Take on me. I'll be gone in a day on to. Yeah.

sound a bit AI, though. It doesn't have that humanity in the vocal that sometimes they're able to. Yeah. Yeah, the like breathy nature of it. Yeah, exactly. It's still good, though. I like the arrangement.

Yeah, baby, baby, baby. All right, so we give that point to real music. Okay, real music, Wham? I hate this song. Oh, you know, like, Wham? I was about to say the complete opposite. It's one of my favour. Christmas.

Do you want to hear, like, the Blink 1-82, like, version? Pop-punk version. Yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah, spring. Yeah, I'm with A huge fan of the original, so anything was going to be better. I'm hiding from you and your soul of eyes. I just thought you were someone to rely on me. I guess I was a shoulder to cry on.

That's cool. That's cool. Yeah. Okay, so fake music one, real music one. Okay, so it comes down to this. Here we go, Flowrider and T-Pain. How do you improve perfection? Yeah, you can't be improving this, no way.

Yeah, I don't like AI's chances. Let's see how it goes. This is the fake music version. Come on. Try to have them apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur. Oh, she's in the fur. The whole club was looking at her.

She hit the floor. Next thing you know Should I got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low. Them baggy sweatpants and the Reeboks with the straps She turned around and get that big booty you smash. She did the floor. Oh, it's close. I like it.

I don't like it more, but I like it. Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's, I think real music still wins there, but it's a valiant effort from AI. And do you know what wins all around is? We play it everywhere. Yeah We should just dedicate a segment every week

We just played the song Yeah Yeah So you might know One last breath by Creed But unfortunately It wasn't as good as the A-O-Burn This is

By the way And And Oh me now I'm six feet from the edge And I'm thinking Maybe six feet Ain't so far down

It's the breakdown for me When the choir come in Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge And I'm thinking You text Creed by the way To 3, 3343 if you want this song Because so many people requested it

I'm so angry at myself for enjoying it Oh get up I'm six feet from the edge And I'm thinking I do hate that we're promoting A.I music I think there should be some sort of like stamp on the song. Where are you hearing it keeps going like... This is AI.

Do you know what I did this week because I feel so bad about this? I have signed up for SoundCloud because they pay artists more and the streaming quality is better and there's a lot more real music. The discovery is better. So I've discovered so much more music that I wouldn't have heard on Spotify because my algorithm is too specific. So how much is it to sign up to SoundCloud? $12.99 a month. Okay, similar price to Spotify.

And a much higher percentage goes back to artists. Yeah, yeah. So instead of producer NEPA getting $8, he might get $14. Yeah, that'd be good. Brilliant, thanks. Almost double. Yeah, I'd be keen for double. The amount of Be able to Texan Creed right now to 3-3-4-3.

Watching that song is ridiculous, by the way. Clint Megan Dan. It's Clint Megan Dan, the things we love. You know those moments where you go, oh my God, I'd love to bottle that feeling and just like keep it and just open it up whenever I'm having a bit of a bit of a a rough day. What are those moments for you? Those little moments that you observe that happened to you? Going into Christmas, obviously the obvious one for me is Christmas morning as a kid. Heaven. And I know that is a very privileged thing to say because not all kids have a Christmas

morning, you know, that they remember. But it is one of the best moments of childhood, isn't it, coming out and seeing what Santa's brought. Hopefully there'll be a lot more children experiencing that this year after there was, we helped raise over $50,000 as a station. I think it'd end up starting closer to about 55,000 or something. If you caught that show a couple weeks ago and donated, thank you so so much there will be kids waking up

experiencing exactly that. The kindness collective. What about wrapping Christmas presents? That feeling of like, we all love the scissor glide on the scissors glide. Oh, yes. And they don't bite, yeah.

But there is just something about wrapping a Christmas present that feels, especially when it's a nice, square easily wrapped shape and then you put the tape flip it over and it's just a perfectly wrapped present and then you put it under the tree and it just, oh there's something magic about it.

It's like handing in an assignment you've been working on for ages at uni and you're like, oh, I'm done with that. Can I take that and raise you when you go to the mall and there's the ladies that do and the men that do the wrapping there I went to one the other day

and she was a professional like full... It was amazing to watch. She did each present immaculately to a degree where I would never have been able to do it. And it was like art to her. On Instagram you need to search Japanese

present wrapping. Yes. Unreal. We're doing it wrong. We're all doing it wrong. You don't put the present in the middle. No, you need to start searching it on social media and it's like... As a rabbit hole I'd like to get down. Yeah, it's unreal.

I mean, one of the presents I had was like a cone shape. It was for George, like a thing of... Oh, that's rough. But I was like, how's she going to do this? Oh my goodness me. She couldn't have done it better. So when I said, I've just started making sourdough bread, cracking the crust, the smell, honestly, breadgazm. The steed, the breadgazm, that is.

And then get a slice, nice fancy butter. Melting into the crusty sourdough. Oh gosh. When we put Buddy to bed and he's asleep and it's just the two of us and the house is quiet and Adrian goes and I watch him, he goes to the kitchen he opens a top drawer, gets two spoons out and then he goes, opens a freezer,

get some Duck Island ice cream. And he's walking towards me up. The man I love and we're going to eat some ice cream together in peace. Can I take that as well? The first suck of a Tim Tam slam. I didn't know where you're going with that after I talked about my husband and I have an ice cream on the couch.

My mind didn't even go there, Ash. That shows how different our minds are. We've got another double pass to our must-see movie that's out in Cinema's Boxing Day, Anaconda. Just share the thing that you love. Oh God, what a segue. And we'll saw you out with something. Can I just share one more that just came through?

and this is like makes me want to cry just before you go to bed and the Christmas tree is lit up there's no other lights on your house just the lights of the Christmas tree I'm going to cry now isn't that a real fire has it? I always think that every night

I hope we don't all burn to death well you turn the Christmas tree lights off every you don't leave them on all night do you? Yeah I do you are treating fire I'm going to rentals I probably should Clint Megan Dan We're talking about those little moments

that you want to bottle the feeling of, those things that we love. And you talk, Ash, about how a good life is a series of good days. And there was this, like, a monk guy who was talking on some podcasts, and he was pretty much reiterating what you've been saying for the last few weeks. Take a listen. Life is just one day. You're born in the one day, and you live in the one day. You die in the one day.

Today is only your life. Yesterday is already dead. Too late. tomorrow is not born too early what you have is today today is only life therefore we need to make enjoy or happy every day not next year you don't say me I want happy life that's illusion don't say me you know I just want to say I want happy day once you have a happy day I think you have a happy life Am I a monk?

Like, I could be able to smunk. You could be. But it's so true. I'd believe it more if you shaved your hair. Maybe you try that. I've got a very ugly shaped head. I would never do that. But how many of us are like,

all right, three more days or five more days, till Christmas? And the future isn't real because you don't even know if you're going to get it and the past is done. The only life we have is this second. You know, one minute it goes done. It's not real anymore. This is the only reality is right now. So what you're saying is I shouldn't be saving money.

I just spend it all. Yeah, boss are more remote-controlled cars. Mountain bikes back. So one of those moments during the day where you go, man, when that happens, it's just the best. Like having a craze at your gym and like walking past these little kids just like, love and life.

And you'd be so cute, you'd wave at them. I'd wave at them and then they stare at me. Like, who's he waving at? But then you get a smile and God it feels good. What kind of boozy gym are you going to where there's a crape? I go to Les Mills and they don't have one. You don't go, you just pay Les Mills. Yeah, yeah, come on.

It's more of a donation. Tell the story properly. The poor old Lesie's struggling. Morning, Brittany. Morning. So what's it for you? What's that feeling? When you go outside in the morning

to check on your strawberries and you've got them before the birds do. Oh, yes. A homegrown fruit or veg is nothing. Do you feel a bit smug, Brittany? Yeah, definitely. I've tried growing strawberries before and they're always just real small

and they rock like after a day. What am I doing wrong? Apparently you have to pick the buds off before. you know like when you first get the plant you pick the buds off so you get a bigger plant and you get bigger strawberries as well there you go you learn something every day thank you Brittany morning and Anna

hi what is it I like your one what is it that when at the end of the day you turn up to daycare and I've got a three year old and a one year old and I love looking in the window and watching them playing together and then walking in and they see me and their faces light up

But then it gets even better because I have a son who's about to turn 11 as well and they run past me and run to him. Oh, that is so cute. I used to love actually... And he's just their idol. I used to love Alana when I'd go pick up my little boy from Kindi and he was probably like three.

And I don't know, it's like 30, 40 kids there. And there was this teacher there, Lisa. And I knew that my boy, Ty, was her favourite. And every time I got there, she'd be sitting on the mat and Ty would be sitting on her cross-legged. And she'd like give him back almost, being like, oh, he's the best. And, like, every day I just knew that he had a mate

because she just treated him better than anyone else there because she had a favourite and my little boy. There's no better feeling when you rock up and they're busy and they don't see you. And you get to just watch them doing their thing, being their own little people. And then the moment he turns around and sees me and it doesn't matter what he's doing.

He is ditching any kid he's playing with and he runs. And mommy, mum, and he jumps in my arms. And, you know, 30 seconds later, he's begging for a treat. and annoying the shit out of me. But in that moment, it's like I would literally do anything for this child. What happens if, hypothetically speaking, someone on the show picked up their kid yesterday and they were like, back to Krashe, back to Krashe, right all the way home. Away, daddy, away.

Away, yeah, back to Krasch. Yeah, what a great feeling that was. It's good. It's good. You're doing something right if you're enjoying Krasian, happy to be away from me. Natalie's is a great one, actually, Natalie. At the moment as well, I feel like everyone's in the gym. Not all of us

Yeah, definitely Hi guys Yeah What's the feeling Yeah Walking in Walking in To an empty gym

The squat racks are free The weights are free It's such a good feeling You just know you're gonna have a good Good gym session It's like you've hired the whole place out You feel rich The world's your oyster

Yeah Yeah Definitely Yeah Have you got abs Natalie I definitely do not have abs Do you have abs

Yeah Look I've tried getting them It's a nightmare They're a very high-maintenance pet, Chris Pratt, as publicly stated before. Good on you, Natalie. That's a great one. Maybe in the new year. Oh, no, she's work on it today, right?

It'd be like a month. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Start working on Mids mid-December. Let us know how to do this for you. I'll think about it. I don't think they're worth it, to be honest. Oh, too much maintenance, eh. All right.

I feel better after we do that thing. It is. It's a feel-good moment. Yeah, it's nice to look for those moments. Justine's, because this will be. you in a couple years, Dahl? The moment when your teen daughter walks up behind you and just hugs you tight for no reason.

Oh, teenage daughter as well because that's when you start becoming an uncool dad. Yeah, I think you'll always be pretty cool, though. I hope so. Well, home time? 8-51, I wish. Hey, stop wishing the day away, Ashby. Just talk about this.

The moment, all you have is now. I know you're a monk. Save you here. Holy shit. whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough, check out our only fans, podcast that is.
