The Edge Breakfast - FULL SHOW even AI can't fix that...

Episode Date: March 5, 2026

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Friday’s Edge Breakfast with banter about delayed 40th plans, a chaotic golf round and what’s coming up, including EZ Money and International Women’s Day. They premiere new Harry Styles music and Meg reviews his album, then share a “sharpen your axe” productivity story. The show spirals into book smut talk, password struggles and a debate about not knowing what’s real online as AI gets better. Dan admits he avoids using his home toilet and even resorted to peeing in a bottle. EZ Money contestants Natalie and a shower-ready Gemma take their shot at $10,000. AI “turns” Meg into a singer for a Celine Dion song—badly—before Meg closes with an International Women’s Day poem honoring overlooked women in history. 00:00 Friday Show Kickoff02:20 New Harry Styles Drop05:16 Sharpen Your Axe Story06:39 BookTok Smut Scandal10:16 First Call Reading Tips13:36 Naughty 6:4018:39 Harry Styles Album Picks22:42 EZ Money27:31 Poll: Can You Trust AI35:24 AI Voice Experiment Tease35:35 Producer Diary Highlights40:17 Hillary Duff Bluff Game45:52 Password Forgetting Chaos51:02 EZ Money Nude Attempt54:50 AI Makes Meg Sing01:02:57 International Womens Day Poem

This is a podcast from Rover. Is back in the best way. Make sure your 2026 is kept on. Here's Clint, Meg and Dan. Good morning. It's Friday, baby. Six o'clock. Welcome to the show. Clip's going away on a holiday after the show.

Meg, you're going away? You're staying home? I am staying home. Same here. Yeah. Yeah, how exciting. It's off, though. Yeah, I've got a mate who's having a 40th.

Well, he's had his 40th, but we never did anything. for it. So it's just a day. So it's just a day. Yeah, but we kept saying, we're going to do something. We're going to do something. And so he lives in Sydney. So finally, the boys have all managed to sync up their calendars. We're used to us, honestly. If there's no girl in the group chat, Jesus, just round and around and round and round. A 40th is a big one though, isn't it? It's the one you sort of want to go away for, have a big blowout. The only time guys can organise anything, I think, is if it's golf related. Yeah, that's true. You guys went golfing yesterday, in fact.

Yeah, yeah, my goodness me. It was a mixed bag, wasn't it, Clint? Some of the shots I was like, man, I should be on the PGA. And then other ones I was like, I need to go home. We would like, the rest of the team buckled over and laughed and literally, I swear to go literally rolling around in the grass after Dan drove it off the T three centimetres. No, so it went sideways. It went to the right.

That's the time to happen. Do you know, it's actually really hard to swing a golf club as hard as you can and send it three centimetres. Love done, Dad. Thank you. Yeah. Quite a skill. I'd like to see Tiger Woods do that.

All right, on the show this morning, 10,000 bucks. Been lucky, man, 7 and 8 o'clock with easy money. It's International Women's Day as well on Sunday, so Meigs got a little something for you after 8.30. Yes, I do. Something I've written. Yeah. An ally for the women.

Good on you, Meg. Thank you, Dad. I do try hard. Yeah. And also at 8 o'clock, we have A.I. Meg, performing a song. How is that time time? My mom asked me yesterday what time's that. And I was like, why in the...

Brilliant. Who the hell cares? Have you heard it mean? No, have you? No. Honestly? I swear on my life. Carl?

Thumbs up or thumbs down? That's all I do. Like, I've heard it. Thumbs up, thumbs down because I've heard it. Oh. Oh, crap. We just wonder if AI can make anyone a great singer. Let's see how surprised we are at 8.

Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. About to jump into our 6am throwback for your Friday. I mean, we can tie it in with something topical, or we can just go with a Friday. Friday vibe. Okay. Well, what is the playlist today?

Wait, I haven't heard the song. Is this even a throwback? Or is this a new one? Harry Stiles, American Girls. Oh, that's a new song. Is that a single? That's not what I would have called for a single. I've listened to the album.

It's still good. This is the one song I have heard because it's the second track on the album, and I liked it. Oh, so maybe our music guy has given us brand new Harry Styles to start the show. He must have given, yeah, let's play it. Definitely.

It is, and I'll play later in the show what I think should have been the same. single. This is a great song. It's got like a real good intro to it. Yeah. If you like the sound of this song, the whole album is this vibe. Oh great. The whole album. Because it makes it into New Music Friday before 7 o'clock and go through the picks of the album. Yeah, my pigs and the songs that are going to stand out, this was one of them, so I'm glad. But yeah, definitely if you like the sound of this, you're going to love the album.

It makes me want to be with an American girl. I'm married, but, you know, if I was single. Did he? It's Sharon write a song about an American girl. Didn't he? American woman That's Lendy Kravitz Right Yeah

Yeah Well Harry is dating his daughter Zoe No he wrote a song American Town Right it's a bit different Clint Can we get to the

Just play the song I might I can just play the song Lead the music chat To get the jams This is what we heard in the trailer For Harry's Netflix show coming out

This weekend I thought I heard it It's got a great vibe Then the like It comes in Ready Clint Hopefully otherwise she's a bit of a down buzz

Here we go. All right, it's Harry Styles. Brand new American Girls on the Edge. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Brand new from Harry Styles that only just dropped midnight. Love it, love it. American Girls on the Edge.

And if you're a lyric listener, Harry Styles said that that song is actually about craving a family. He said he watches three closest friends get married and seeing them trust in something and risks something to find something truly fulfilling in a way that isn't as shiny and on paper as excited.

as watching them get married. I was like, I'm single and I'm having all the fun. And apparently American Girls is about seeing that there's magic when you find the right person that you want to be with. God, he's deep, hey? I watched an interview with, Zane Low interview with Harry Stiles. And shit, he's so deep. Like some of the answers he says to the questions,

I'm like, Jesus, man, you are a deep thinker. And obviously he does that in his music, but yeah, incredible. Yeah. All right, well, Meg will have her picks coming up. Yeah. Before 7 o'clock this morning, you go through a little bit more of the album, if you want to hear if it is more.

like that one. Yeah, there's one song that he wrote called Carla's song, which is very cool because that's for a girl that he met who became a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend, so not like a famous girl. And she'd never heard Bridge of a Trouble Water by Simon Garfunkel. And he played that to her, and he's like, the song inspired that thing of, oh my God, I've given somebody this song that they're like, this is the best song in the world, and she'd never heard it.

It's a great segue, Meg, talking about inspiration. Yes. Because I just thought I'd give you this little tidbit on your Friday going into your weekend. Have you heard the story about the lumberjacks? Two lumberjacks? No. I heard it yesterday and I was like, this is so good.

They start chopping wood at the same time every morning, and they finish chopping wood at the same time every night. But one of the lumberjacks disappears in the middle of the day every day for an hour. And they always cut the same amount of wood. Okay. So after months of doing this, one lumberjack goes to the other one. Man, we start at the exact same time. We finished at the exact same time,

but I can never chop more wood than you, and you disappear for an hour in the middle of the middle of the other. a day every single day. Where do you go during that hour? Productivity. And he said, I go home and I sharpen my axe. And he says the theory is that working all the time doesn't necessarily make you more productive. Taking breaks and sharpening your axe makes you more productive. This is specifically to our boss, Adrian. Good morning. We hope you're having such a good morning. Morning, AB. What's the sharpening your ex?

Euphemism. Having holidays. Yeah, in our situation, it is. Yeah, yeah. But whatever, sharpening your axe is taking some time, you know, getting away from it and making yourself sharper, making your brain sharper, Dan. Yeah, otherwise we're dull brains, Dan. I want to sharpen my accent during a song if I want to.

Oh, that's disgusting. I don't know what that means. What's wrong with you? Let's go to the bathroom. Clint, Meg and Dan. Lesh go! Scandal with Meg. I'm really, actually, you're not a bookreader.

I'm going to turn to you, Clint. You're a bookread. Did you ever read Akita? No. A court of, handsome roses. Anybody else in this room? Nobody. That's one of those ones that's about, like, fairies and stuff,

having sex, eh? Not quite, Dan, but I can see where you'd get there. Your wife's read it, so... I've heard about the fairy smut. Yes, I've read all the fairy smart, and there are five books in Akita, A Court of Thorns and Roses. So it is fairy smut, though? No, well, okay, they're not really...

Well, they're kind of fairies, but they're not fluttering around with little wings and stuff. They're like, you know, it's a fantasy. It's a fantasy thing, but yes, they are definitely having things. Okay. Oh my gosh, I think it's like, is it book four or five where I just... I was gone for a while. Fairies.

I was lost in the book. read the page and then you've got to go back and read the same page. And you're like, damn it, look us. I read those pages a lot. I'd go back months later. She'd be like, what chapter was it? Oh, I know. I know.

We need to know as partners and husbands when you guys are reading that stuff. Oh, you'd never know. Hannah will be reading them next to me. Because then I feel like there's a real optimum opportunity there to capitalize. Yes. But then the problem is, once the chapter's over, it's gone. So you're right. They need to know exactly when it's happening.

Yeah, that opportune moment. And I can never live up to the fairies. They're really good at it. You know, if I come in straight after one of those scenes, not a nightmare. So Sarah J. Master author has recently gone and call her daddy and said this. The story that was finally ready to come out of me was jig. I will say that that was Akatar 6 with the arrow pointing forward to indicate like things going ahead of that.

The next Akatar book is coming out on October 27th. if this book was really fucking long? What if it took me more than a thousand pages to tell the story that needed to be told? What if that took beyond the constraints of a single volume? On January 12th, the next

to Akitar book will be coming out. Two more. So we thought the story was over. So if I can explain it, five books. She's written five books and she's still going to write two more to finish it. She's just finished it, but we didn't know it. We had five books and we thought that was the end. So this is really big for the reading

community because now we go, whoa, the story's not over, two more books? Wow. It's very big and exciting. Do you know, I even found myself lately because I've been, like, you see me getting into a lot more reading. In fact, I finished a book in a weekend, which is, I never thought I'd, it's like you telling me that I was going to run like a marathon next week. I was like, lo.

Was it a smutty one? No, it was a murder, right? It was a murder mystery. JP, J.P. Pomeree, a Kiwi author, really, really good. 17 years later was the book. Anyway, I found myself. like at events or things and then wanting to like get home

so I can like get into my book again as opposed to getting home and wanting to watch the next episode of whatever the Netflix show. It makes it so much easier to go to bed early for me too because obviously we have to go to bed early for this job but I get excited to go to bed. And you're not looking at a screen

just before you close your eyes. Well I read a Kindle. Oh well. But it's not. If someone could, I've got ADHD ADHD and just can't focus on a book so if someone's got ADHD that's listening and has managed to read a book.

How did you do it? Listen to audio books. Yeah, but even then I just go, oh, scrolling. Is that cheating though? Dan has a low threshold for what's cheating. Here a lady, another lady, read smut to him. Is that, like, bordering on? I don't know how Hannah would feel about that, to be honest.

If she's sitting next to the bed and this other woman's reading smut to me. I don't think it would be a woman reading it. It'd be a man. So how would that make you feel? Very weird. Very odd. Hannah would be like, who's this guy? A-e-star, Scana was thanks to shoulder-tap.

New Zealand's new job-matching platform. Cool, coming up next first call of the day. Give us a bell, let us know what you got planned for the weekend, and we'll sort you out with a voucher to go spend in store at Z. You're right, you look like you open your mouth, you want to say something. Me? Yeah. No, I was just, I was just...

I think he's just... I was just a daydream about that man reading Smut. Oh, yes. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Quick little joke for you for your Friday that I've just seen before we get into first call of the day. Everyone's getting this, aren't they? Oh, okay. Yeah, everyone.

I just shared with these two, and you laugh again. I did giggle. Yeah, it's funny. But it is a little bit naughty. Husband says to his wife, hey babe, doctor said... Oh, keep it for naughty, 640. We're doing it next. Oh, yeah.

Good tease. Oh, okay. I think Dan had something for that. Yeah, but that can wait. Oh, all right, wow. Okay. You stick around because it's a very naughty joke. It's a naughty joke.

First call of the day. First call on the day. Hi, Paul. Morning, guys. How's it going? Good, man, you're bloody good. Now, you texted before because I was saying about how I've never read a full book

because I've got ADHD and I can just never, you know, keep the attention span. You've got 88. and you've read 20 plus books in the past year. How did you do it? I started, I used to love reading as a kid and I wanted to start again. So I read the Harry Potter series through, which is what I read as a kid and I loved it. And then basically from there, because they're small and they get bigger and bigger,

I just worked on to bigger books afterwards. I was really like almost trained yourself to be able to keep the concentration. I think Dan would have to find a book that you just, even though I know I can't just be like, oh, you'll just focus, but maybe if it really, really grabs your attention and really gets you there might be here. I think I'd have to start with like Harry MacLerry

or the very Henry Caterpillar and then work my way up to Harry Potter even, you know? But that's how terrible I am at reading. I find myself with audio books, that is when I get distracted. That's when I start drifting away from theories and realise I haven't been listening to it. Because you can do other stuff while you listen to an audio book.

And old Coase that told me Paul that he got stuck into Harry Potter books over like a Kiwi summer and it ruined his summer because he was so addicted to them everyone would be like, we go to the beach bro and he's like, oh, I might just I'll catch you guys in a bit. Oh, that's nice though.

He was so engulfed in these like books that he wouldn't do, he missed the whole Kiwi summer. Or he spent his whole summer reading books in the sun. I think that's nice. Maybe. Books in the sun.

I started it during winter. Yeah. So it was, you know, it was nice and easy to hunker down inside when it was cold and read the books. Oh, okay. Well, there you go. Oh, and Dan, here's,

thank you for calling us, by the way, Paul. We're going to send you a little treaty. Yeah, we'll send your voucher to spend a store at Z. You can smash a chicken protein bowl for any $8.90 if you like. They're still rocking the gourmet kumir and cashew pie as well. Mm, appreciate that. What about the text from Hunter? Appreciate it.

Hunter, he says mental problems are 85% mindset. Quick making excuses, Dan. Well, Hunter, your 15% Pratt. So thanks for texting that through. Dan doesn't deal well with criticism No, no I don't I've tried Hunter Don't you worry

I've really tried to read books Yeah I'm just hearing excuses Hey If you were at the gym mate Your personal trainer Will be beating that out of you I tell you what I do read the gruffalo

Every night to my son George Oh good on you And I'm very good at that I bet you are Do you all the voices? Yeah oh gorgeous All right 9640 next

Your joke that you started And have yet to finish Is coming up And Dan wants to talk about toilets Could he have a bidet No, absolutely not. It's the opposite of that. Oh, so you're not even wiping anymore?

Basically. Clint Meg and Dan. Stinky Boot. Time to get naughty at 640. All right, Daddy Boy, why can't you use your toilet? Oh, no, here's the thing. I've started frequenting the public toilets down the road from my house. Okay.

Because we have a nanny at the moment. My son, George, has a nanny three days a week. She's lovely, lovely lady, love her to bits. George loves her. The problem is that I come home after the show every, every day, and for whatever reason, my bowels, release at midday. Your boot clock, you've got to adjust that.

Yeah, I give it, but how do you do it? It's hard to do it. I've tried. Mine's like half-bast four in the morning. First thing in the morning, get it done. I wish it was, but unfortunately for me it's midday, and it's like clockwork, like high-fiber diet. And so I get home every day, and our house, we rent a house,

and it has got a one toilet situation. and it's smack bang in the middle of the house. Jeez, that's a weird layout. Yeah, so it's sort of like bedrooms down one end, lounge down the other in kitchen, and then the toilet's in the middle. Got it. Okay? And so you know when someone's using it.

You know when someone's been in there, you know when someone's... The smell wafts left air life through the house. It can do. It can do. Their amount of time that they're in there. It's very obvious. And so I can't use it when I get home because the nanny's there.

I don't want this poor woman to witness this situation. Your ablutions. Yeah, but I also don't want her to know I'm in there because she'll know I've gone in. Okay. I think... Newsflash, I think she knows your poop.

I know she does, but I don't want to... You know what? We don't know each other enough for me to... I don't even very, very, really past... She's not like, I've never seen him poop. Damn might be one of those guys that doesn't... Do you have to get to a point in friendships that you are happy for them to know that you poop?

Are we there yet? No, I saw almost. Okay. People would... We're... Because even yesterday at the golf, this guy walked past me and he goes, need to have a nervous a nervous poo before the golf

and then he just went in there and just went for it and I was right next door to him. And I just heard him go for it and he was like get this out of me type 5. And I was like, bro. That is way, that is me in many, many years hopefully. But not now. So there's a public toilet literally down the road from our house

where I have to go. I'll stop in there on the way home and do it. Oh, public toilets. I know, but I have to. And the other day I was busting and it wasn't for a number, So it was just for number ones. Right.

But like full busting. Right. And I drove past the thing, it was out of order. There was someone cleaning the thing. You can't even pee in your own house? And so I went into the house. I backed my car into the garage and I got out of the car. And I was like full busting, like jiggling legs, like almost about.

Like a time life. Yeah, he has an overrated bladder so we can't judge him for this and talk about it. And so there was a moment where I was like, I'm going to have to go. And my options were the garden. Yeah. The garage. Why? I know.

You don't mean the options of the garage. She's going to piss in the garage because you can't go in a toilet. And it was the lowest point of my life. I grabbed a bottle from the side of the garage and it was like a bottle that had been sitting there that Hannah's been like keeping for work, if there's an apocalypse full of water, emptied it out out of the window of the garage.

You had enough time to empty the bottle out of the window. No, you could have gone to the bathroom. Clint, help me here. And I proceeded to urinate inside the bottom. How small was the opening of the bottle? It was quite a small one. Oh, Dad, I've got a lot of them. Gatorade.

Come on, mate. You make it bigger. It's just a story. Yeah, like a Frank. Say Peter to Frank Green, man. Just do yourself for service. Say it barely fit in the Frank Green. Thank you, Clint.

God, we gave you the leader. Went everywhere. Went all over your hands, all over the carpet of the garage. So, I don't know what to do. Bro, you've got to get it checked. I know. And I think I've got some sort of mental issue where I just can't do it. Maybe some sort of scarring from when I was a kid.

I don't know what it is. So, Dan, you're standing there. like pants down in the garage, a wizard into bottle. If she walked in on that, honest to God, she quits. And someone said a good option as well. She said she's wiping your son's bum.

She doesn't care. She knows about poop. I know. I just don't want her to witness it. I can't believe. The visual of that, rather than just going to the bathroom, shutting the door and going for a week.

Someone said you need to invest in some VIP poo spray. I've heard of that stuff. Oh, yeah, pot-pourri. Yeah. So why didn't they just name it something different? I know. It's a terrible name. I mean, it's clever.

via poo. So anyway, go to the garden. Someone else is said. I think the only time it's acceptable to pee in a bottle is if you are camping and you wake up at like two or three in the morning and the toilet block is like

kilometers away and it's freezing cold and you don't want to get out and zip up like a thousand like it zips and wake everyone up. He's speaking like he's done it before. He's been camping many times. I did it once at R&V.

Got caught. Anyway. Clint Meg and Dan. Harry Stars has released. Leicester's album. Disco all the time, kiss occasionally. And it is what we had hoped for. It's very quintessential, Harry. It may not be the pop album that you're sitting there going,

oh, give me some really good poppy dance tracks. I don't think that's what this is. It is a dance album, but dance in the idea that if you could imagine going to a club with your friends, and it's like one of the later night clubs, and you go down some stairs. Oh, so it's like that sort of... Down some stairs delayed. A bit more chill vibes.

And it's dark and there's like maybe the lights are blue or green or something you go down and says you kind of see your friends, but you're kind of swaying with other people too. And you order a whiskey on ice even though you don't really like whiskey? Yeah, I would say that is where we don't think. Like a speak easy almost, but like a bar version. But a little bigger. Like there's definitely people kind of lost in the music down there and it's still pumping. So I've got some of my picks from the album. Let's start with the lighter songs and build up to what I think is going to be the single or should be.

This is coming up roses. It's a beautiful ballad. hang over chasing and I'll talk your ear off about why it's safe as I fumble my words and fall flat on my face through the truth just say the word

and we'll take up the test that we flirt with the back There's strings and the five of that Yeah, like orchestral strings Then this one is a little more classic Harry This is called Tasteback And this is when I was like Oh yeah, he's still there

As he been away for is like Three years? Four years? Four years, wow. It's a very drum, heavy album as well. This is paint by numbers. I think this is going to be a big song. One Direction, bang is?

All right, not one direction, but this one is picking up a bit. We're moving up now. It's called Are You Listening Yet? Too weight loss, a bit of a funny name, but a great tune. He's a big fan of the biggest loser. Yeah, yeah, especially season two. Yeah, we're in hard season. And then this is the song that I'm going to play in full to you later on in the morning.

This is the one that I think should be the single. It's called Pop. After 8 o'clock, actually Harry Sells is going to have to follow AI Meg. Oh, yeah. What a heart act to follow. Looking at our loose run sheet, we did tease that we wanted to know whether AI could make any singer great. Even our Meg. So at 8 o'clock, we're going to find out Meg has actually heard it.

you just went in did a cold vocal. So we'll have the result at 8, and then Harry Stiles can follow you. So he's kind of like a curtain razor. I saw our sound engineer yesterday after he had been recording Meg, and man, he was stressed. God, I've never seen him more stressed. I did see him and he said a lot of the programs just keep changing Meg's voice. Because, I don't know.

He had to keep saying, don't change the voice. Don't change the voice. He said, I hate my job. That's what he said. I have heard whispers. I've heard whispers. that some have been comparing your song to Billy Irish-esque. Who?

That's the rumours. That's the rumours. That deaf guy from accounts. Oh, Dad, okay. Jeff. Don't he sings to him. He's got a terrible taste of music and he's deaf. Money is here?

You're just going to get $10,000 in the next couple of minutes. Start calling us now. Oh, 800 of the edge for easy money. Clint, Megan. All right, we're about to get into it just after news headlines. Normally we give you the cuticle around now, and then we chat to you for the first time bang on 7 o'clock. but I feel like people get a little bit frazzled.

It all happens very quickly. So let's just find out who's playing this morning and calm them down. Natalie's going to be playing this morning in a couple of minutes time. Morning, yeah. Hi, good morning. Are you on your way to work? Are you already there? You leave in work?

About halfway. Okay, good. Our producer, Carl. Yeah, nice calming music. He said you work for the New Zealand police and he asked you to pull over and he said it was the safest pulling over procedure he's ever heard. Are you good? with cars, Natalie? I mean, I kind of has to be

if I went for police. Oh, police. You don't want to be that one police person in the office that's been given a ticket, eh? Yeah, yeah, God, no, I think we should have called a parade. Natalie, we're all naughty sometimes. I imagine even the police, right? Although the standard is... Go on?

I think I'd get ripped out at work for it. Yeah, the standard is much higher for you, I imagine. But if you got pulled over on a weekend for going a little over in a cop-ball driver... Fifty-two and a 50. Is there some sort of like unspoken rule where you just kind of flash the badge and they go, all right, okay. I got you, you got me. I mean, it depends who it is.

I mean, if I'm bros with them, it's all good. But if it's like a high up guy, then probably not. Oh, so. Do you look after each other? Quiet voices. Yeah, so. Come down. Okay, sorry, sorry, Natalie.

Take a deep breath. Okay, now, we're going to go to news headlines. Now, Glenn, he brings the gusto, so he's going to like, let him. level things up for the next 90 seconds. And then when we come back, for four. You're just going to give us 10 correct answers in 30 seconds, and we're going to give you $10,000 to spend this weekend, okay?

Oh, my God. Before we go, just Natalie, just go, just repeat after me. I'm Natalie and I'm a winner. Say that. I'm Natalie, and I'm a winner. And then just go. I didn't believe it. You need a commit to stuff.

Hey, how good though Dan getting a cop to do what he was? Yeah, wow. All right, now best of luck. The Edge. The Edge's easy money. Here's your shot at $10,000. All right, here we go. It's one past seven.

If Nat can give us 10 correct dances in 30 seconds, starting with the letter me, gives her, we give her $10,000. You can pass Nat, just no repeated answers, and we want you to win the cash. Yes. Hey, Nat. Hi.

Time Natalie Natalie got egg in her head And then it was gone It was Egmont Egg egg pasta That's true That's why I had a gig

I was like I was like, let's let her keep going. If she gets to 10, we'll get the boss on and see what he figs. Because the rules were being bent there a little bit, your naughty girl. Yeah, and something round, I don't know if an egg's technically round. It's more of an oval. It's on my list. It's on my list. It's just eggs.

I mean, I think it would be round around the outside. True. I mean, it's over if you're measuring top to bottom there. If you crack it, the yolk is round. Yeah, that is round. You definitely pay that. Yeah, yeah. All right, Natalie, you got stuck on you.

Got on you. You got stuck on you. All right, well, you look after Fangereere. Make sure everyone there is behaving themselves. If I know Fongere, like I think I do, I've got some family there. They're Laura Biting citizens. There's some bad eggs there. See you, babe.

See you, mate. All right, back again at 8 o'clock. Coincidentally, the last time we gave away $10,000 with easy money, was the letter E. Was that? Yeah, Caitlin won it with E. That's right. She actually passed twice, had time to go back, and then it was like something that stretches or whatever. She's an elastic band, and then boom.

It was actually incredible to watch. We should get a replay of her doing that. Oh yeah, I haven't heard that. Crazy. Yeah, mental. Clint, Megan, Dan. Let's talk this morning about the poll of the day, one that we can all relate to if we've been honest with ourselves.

I know I can. Do you ever worry about not being able to tell what's real online anymore? I think a few years ago we would be worried about our parents, not being able to tell or Clint when it came to AI in videos. Or some sort of brand that says AI was using. Yeah, yeah. And I would be almost, honestly, a little smug about, like, I can tell that's AI compared to something else. And I thought it was something that meant I was very cool and young and hip.

And then recently, more videos have been coming out, and I've been having to scroll through comments and try and figure out if this is AI or not before I believe any information that I'm seen. I do politics or anything online. I do the same. I go straight to the comments. And if someone's calling it out as AI, I go, there's my person. Thank you. Yeah, but then sometimes things actually aren't AI,

but people will call it AI because they don't want to believe the video. Undermines a great achievement, right? I'm getting better. The video where Punch the monkey escaped his enclosure, and I was like, he got out, and then he started hanging out with Ross from Friends. I was like, oh, okay, I love it back. Sold it for you. One time Clint showed us a video of the seal smiling,

and we're like Clint's AI. Seals sometimes will take refuge on boats when orc whales are like hunting them. Yeah, so the seal jumps out of the water. and then the fisherman films the seal and the seal at the end of the video smiles at the camera and does a wink

and it was like isn't that incredible that it knew I don't think I got to the end it was like three quarters of the way I was like this is so wholesome I send it to you and then you were like bro

he wings at the camera I was like oh I didn't get that much you could text us 333 4 through a call us 0800 the edge you could be you or could be somebody that you've seen posting things and you go oh god it's getting really freaky

now not being able to trust your own mind your own brain with what's on the internet, what's real and what's not. Generally, when an animal winks or does something human like that, you can still almost 100% say it's AI. I look at hands and fingers, but it still

comes such a long way that I don't know. I just don't know anymore, and you'll see arguments in the comments of people being like, this is AI and other people say no, it's not. It's the videos for me that use, like it'll be a video of Donald Trump or a politician or someone famous saying something and they overlay it

with other stuff and you can clearly see that it's been made by AI. But those are getting so much better now to the point where you're like, is it? Yeah. Yeah, mum and dad are in trouble. Yeah. Yeah, they are right.

Definitely in trouble. Yeah, I think it's, I just don't know how we get past it. I don't know what's happening. It's going too quickly. Producer Carl has spoken about this before. It's going at the speed of light and technology is improving. And, yeah, I mean, the discussion is there.

Can we admit that we're now a little bit worried about it? And there's always been the saying, don't believe everything you read on the internet. Now that is so much more prevalent. Yeah. Because it's just every second thing's AI now. Yeah, don't believe everything you see me. Okay. Way in, 0800 there, we can fire us a text on 3343.

And for anyone else wondering, some animals can wink. Dogs, cats, owls, and in some cases, chinchillas. Not in an ironic way, though. Okay. It's put a whole new thought around, I'll believe it when I see it. Yeah, with my own eyes. That's fake noun. AI Meg, you will get to hear how good AI is getting

in terms of making Meg a legitimate singer after 8 o'clock this morning. I'm hearing rumors of Billy Irish-esque. It's exactly what we're talking about this morning. It's an honest to chat about, are you actually getting a little, does it worry you now? Like, we should be worried about the environment. We should have been worried about that years ago. But now are we sitting there.

Leonard McCabry has been going on about that va. Yeah, yes. Did we feel a little bit smug at one point when I actually? I can tell the difference between AI and what's not and, you know, older people, maybe they can't. But now it's gone to a point that I feel I can't trust a single video on the internet. And I don't know if younger people can or can't

or if it's just going to become a big blur soon. Yeah. Even like you might have seen that there are a lot of AI are now taking women's faces, mixing them with other women's bodies and then creating fake AI accounts. How many thousands of people, mostly men, I may say, follow them and saying things like, oh, you're so beautiful and not so hard.

And I'm like, this is a clearly a fake woman that's been moulded like Frankenstein from 70 different girls. I worry more for our parents and that generation, even our grandparents that are online. They maybe have Instagram, they have Facebook, but they can't tell. There's no way of, even we are struggling now, you know? Yeah, and scammers definitely are going to start taking advantage of that. Hey, Steph. Hi, how's it coming? Yeah, good.

Good babe. Have you been fooled by AI recently? Yeah, well by a video about yours truly. I was watching a video of you changing your toilet seat at home the other day. Clint? And I was like, AI, definitely AI. What? Really?

No, I think you've been fooled in the wrong way. Because I don't think that was AI. Clint did it. Unfortunately, he did. Unfortunately, he did. Yeah, two of them. Do you think he's just not able to, uh, change it out himself.

She was like, there's no way, Clint. Could have done something manly like that. Yeah. Yeah, the skills were... Yeah, I mean, I was... He is just a pretty face, literally. It's easy and still, and I ended up having to get two other guys around to sort of, a plumber and an electrician, so I'm not sure what I was thinking. Thanks, Steph, we're actually...

Oh, go on. No, just say A for effort. Yeah, thanks, babe. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes just got to pay people. We just had a text from Nathan who I think Carl was trying to get on,

producer Carl, but I'm saying I put GTA gameplay on for my nana that was edited to look like it was the news and she was horrified but I didn't tell it was fake. That's not how we grandson by the way. That's not how we...

Poor nana! Because knowing GTA, he's probably hit and running. Tanya says she fell for the wedding photos of Zendaya and Tom and their secret wedding. Yeah, yep, that's going to happen more and more often. I think they might be married

but I don't think they've released any winning photos. I've seen like wedding photos and of many many celebrities actually that I believe are fake people release videos of apparently posh spice stealing the first dance at Brooklyn Beckham's wedding those are all fake

texts are coming in now I'm saying AI has ruined everything nothing's real is this thing Gavin's on the line right now Gavin you've taken a real negative view on this it's coming to an end the world well well you just look at everything else

that's going on it's not good but no I mean like say anything used to be easy, you used to click into Google to try and find information. Nothing's real, so you just can't trust it. So we're sort of going backwards in a way now. I completely agree with you, Gavin. I used to be able to go online and feel pretty confident in what I'd find I could believe.

And now I don't trust anything, which means it isn't a reliable source. But can we also agree that it's got some positives as well? I mean, just after 8 o'clock this morning, Meg's written a full woman, International Women's Day thing with AI on Jack GPT. You know what? I have not. I have it.

It was from my... Yeah, I'm looking forward to her song. Oh, my song. Yeah. That's going to show you that it still struggles, I reckon. I think it's going to give you some hope, Gavin. You go, oh, maybe it can't do everything. It's only human.

Doesn't Gavin's accent make you want to smash a pint? Anyone else? Yeah, true. No, it's not good. Chug, chug, chug. Yeah, yeah. Thanks, Gavin. Thanks, Gavin.

No, I think honestly we'll be... Meg's like, AI, so what's wrong with the world. Anyway, this is what AI did to my voice yesterday. I know, this is so silly. It sounds great, don't I? I know, we're pathetic. Look at us humans. We're like, this is really scary.

Let's do more of it. What sad individuals we are. All right, highlight to this week with the producer's diary coming up next. Bitsy might have missed, because I know, sometimes life gets in the way. I listen to our show four hours a day. We get it. And it's all made with AI. Stop!

Clint, Meg and Dan. The producer's diary that our producer neaps whips the guilty. God, he's slaves away, doesn't he, in there? Slaves away over it. Yep. I mean, was it hard this week? Because we have to provide highlights for you to obviously piece together. It's always easy packings with you guys.

You make so many mistakes. It's great. A double-handed compliment there. All right, are we ready? Yeah. Strap yourselves in. This is what you might have missed this week. Atamaria, good morning and welcome back

to another producer diary. Man, it could have been a slow week after getting back from Electric Cab, but no, the show must go on. Let's get into it. He's becoming a fan favourite of the show. We caught up with our Swedish reporter Sven and he had a few tips about the upcoming International Women's Day.

Yes, this weekend, Sunday, the 8th of March, is International Woman's Day. What a beautiful day to appreciate the woman in your life. It appreciates her curbs, appreciate her beauty, appreciate her boobies. No, no, no. But don't forget. Because if you do, don't forget it, because you'll never hear the end of it if you forget International Woman's Day. So is that what International Women's Day means to you, does it?

Thank you, Andy. Yeah, we have a saying here in Sweden, and it goes like this, it goes, nah, Babagichi, Baba. And loosely translated, that means don't forget International Woman's Day, whatever you do. And that's so true. That's so true, because last year I forgot that it to my wife,

Olga left me and I haven't seen her since. Last I heard she's turned into what we call over here in Sweden a vegetarian, which loosely translated means a lesbian. We got chatting about Speedos, all commonly known as Budgie Smugglers on our Overthinkers podcast, which sets alongside our regular full show podcast, and as you can imagine, it took a bit of a turn. You go to Europe, every guy's wearing Speedos. Yeah, I mean, we're all thinking right now of someone that we know that we're Speedos. I sort of wish I could pull off Speedos.

You're going to pull off a dude speeders. Okay, mate, and you say you're straight. I'll pull off yours in a minute. Meg and Ash London also got to catch up with Hillary Duff this week, but not without a few technical difficulties. And unfortunately for Meg, those technical difficulties made it all the way to Australia. Have you had any kind of Zoom mishaps? I mean, you are doing a lot of interviews via link.

Have you heard anything you shouldn't have in this process? I was actually just on the New Zealand station, and we were having some technical difficulties, and I heard one of them told the other one that she had a forget-me-not tattoo on her bha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Got real close to

show Duff and Muff. Oh. In the lead-up to Hillary coming on tour to New Zealand, we've been putting you into the draw to win tickets to her concert with the Hilary Duff Bluff. You tell us the story

and we try to guess whether it's real or fake. The only issue is we're not very good at this game so far. I have some close friends that we rely on each other for a lot of things. So I got one of them to mess and take my wife's car the day before we had to go away.

You're making the shot, Meg. I'm saying you did do that, Josh. Well, it's fake. Who would do that? Oh my gosh. And then there was this story from listener Myra. Okay, so I stood on a puffer fish. He rang the house line and they said, put something in her mouth and pull out.

Pull out the spikes. Oh, yeah, yeah. That was a weird thing I remember. Okay, yeah, because you see that, I don't know if that's going to solve much. We almost going up on you. We were this close. Yeah, I don't know if Helpline would have recommended that. It would be like, yes, I think.

I was like, it's a lot. I think it's a lot. I think it's all right. And finally, we got to catch up with one of New Zealand's greatest sportsman Liam Lawson over the phone this week, or at least that's what Dan thought. I'm just, yeah, I'm just getting pulled out. I think I'm going to have to shoot guys. Sorry, I've got to make a run.

Oh, that's okay. Thanks for having me, though. Oh, thanks, thanks, Liam. Oh, no. Thank you. Thank you. Time, bro. Bye-bye.

Oh, wow. That was quick. Liam Lawson's just real good in the studio, but it's wondering what to be here. All righty, and that's all we've got time for this week. It's the first Warriors game of the season, so up the wards. We'll catch you same time, same place next week,

for another producer diary. Bye. Thank you. Producer Neats. Appreciate it about that. God, he's good, isn't he? Speaking of the Hillary Duff Bluff, yeah, we have been terrible.

We're one from four at picking a true story from a fake one. That is next. So if you want to get in the draw for the Hillary Duff Flyaway, accommodation included in Auckland and travel, depending on where you are in the country, we'll sort it out. Very high chance you'll get in that drawer as well, because God, we're thick. Texas.

Speak be here. Thick with double Cs, maybe. Yes. Hey. Texas, a story that's outrageously true or completely made up, and we'll have three questions to try and decide which one of it is. I'm so thick. I don't even get that game.

thick, like thick and thick, got booty. She's thick. Oh, I see. Yeah. Yeah. Speak for yourself. It's going to be in the country October 20. Spark Arena in Auckland.

Meg caught up there last week. Yeah, I did. I did indeed. And I would like to say that my catch up with her is a lie. But unfortunately, technical difficulties meant that it was all true. It was a shocker. She overheard a conversation, a private conversation between Megan, Ash London

about your and lots of things, lots of things but for some reason what stuck out to her? Your lady tattoos between your lady tattoos. Between your lady legs and your lady garden.

Yeah, thank you boys. Tim, good morning. Good morning, how are we? Good morning, Tim. We get three questions to try and see if you're bluffing or telling the truth. What's your story? So I partied a couple

of years ago there's a few people jumping off the deck onto one of those inflatable air mattresses. I decided instead of diving off, I'd do a Manu onto it. I might have missed the air mattress and landed on a concrete path

and ended up fracturing four bones in my low back. What a nightmare! Mids gone, when you said you land on the concrete path, she bailed, so she's missed the rest of this back. Correct me if I'm wrong because I've never done a Manu before but it is where you bring your legs up into your sort of chest area and you're going sort of

almost butt first into the cushion, right? Oh, the tailbone would have not loved that. Yeah, that's exactly right, yeah. Yeah, so that must have really hurt. Okay, so now we get a question. Oh, I had an alcohol blanket, so I didn't hurt too much later. Alcohol blankets, true. So how many stories was it that you fell?

Okay, so that's your question, Dan? No, no. No, just off the death size a meter. Okay, that was your question, no. I don't like a question. Why are you handicapping us now? I'm just saying that you're treating the system. No, because I was just clarifying.

the story. That was not my question. Okay, well, what's your question then? My question to you is, how long were you in hospital, Tim? Okay. Overnight, I ended up going back home and called the ambulance about three hours later. Went in for the X-ray, got sent out from the hospital because there was no broken bones, pulled up two days later going, yeah, there's four fractures. Nothing we can do, so just be careful with it.

It's a very good liar if this is a lie. Or is he doing that thing when you give too much information to try and prove? What a hospital say, just be careful with it? Okay, I've got a question that doesn't have anything to do with the story, but I think it might be a bit of a character like thing to see. Have you ever cheated on a partner?

Yes, I have. So he can lie. Oh, so he's a good liar. But he's being very truthful about that. I see what you're doing, Glenn. I'm just trying to find out more about him. He's a good liar. Okay, Tim, my question for you.

is how many people jumped off before you decided to about four or five people yeah I wandered over them doing that he must have been very drunk

to miss it you know because if they all landed this is what I don't get the one thing that doesn't make sense to me is that people were diving off and that's even more dangerous if there's any chance of missing you know if you're going to jump from the

roof of something or a deck into a pool, would you dive? Or would you just jump and do money? I don't know. I wouldn't do it at all, to be honest. Time's up, team. All right, what do we think? True or false?

It's Kling, you're calling it. Oh, I'm gonna go... I don't even care if we're wrong, because then you'll be in the draw. Let's say it's true. Ah, it is true. Two in a row. Oh, that sucks for you, Tim.

What about the cheating thing? Was that true? Yes, it was, unfortunately. But it was many years ago, right? ago right time. That was the old Tim, wasn't it? Many, many years ago, yeah. The new Tim would never do that. New Tim's trying to get tickets

to Hillary Duff. Yeah. Okay, Constellation Prize, mate. We're going to send you along to our must-see movie with Christian Bale, two iconic legends in The Bride. Jesse Buckley in there as well. It drops in in cinemas yesterday. So enjoy that, brother. Amazing. Thank you very much. But it does mean

if you're in the Hillary Duff drawer, that's one less person that you're competing against. Timaine in there. Best of luck with the flyaway night's accommodation and travel to Hilary Duff when she is here in October 20. Let me just double check, yeah. Spark Arena. Liam Lawson came in the other day and I asked him a question that I just, I don't know where it came from, I don't know why I was allowed the mic, but ended up letting us kind of a little bit into his psyche.

Not as organised as I would have thought any Formula One person would be. In fact, the complete opposite, very unorganised. Megan Dan. Oh my gosh. There's been a study done. This really shocked me, actually, in terms of internet passwords. And apparently this is a New Zealand study done by a security brief.

77% of consumers studied have said that they've forgotten their password in the last month, with 32% saying they've forgotten in the last 24 hours. Me. I'm one of these people. Me. My bro only just found out recently when I was trying to find a password for him for something. But surely everyone knows if you're rocking an Apple phone, you can just go into passwords

and it will do a face ID and it will give you all the passwords for all the things that you've logged into on your phone and click save. But the thing is you have to have logged them with your Apple ID password for that to remember them. And then you can literally just click on the password

it tells you what it is if you ever forgot it. I mean if anyone doesn't know that, that's there. I'm constantly doing that thing where I've put in my email address and then I go forgot password and have to get the email. You have to click the link. It's a nightmare.

I mean, I know security is important. Don't get me wrong. I'm getting really frustrated with the whole thing where if I go onto my, if I'm on my laptop and I'm like, right, I'm going to check my banking account. Check my banking account. And then I go, right, we just need to go on to your app on your phone and confirm it's you.

Oh my God, if I had my phone, I would have done it on my phone. Everything is so security driven now. Just let me be scammed. Damn these banks I want to make sure no one's stealing our money. Far out. It's so hard remembering all these passwords with numbers and letters, you have to change them all the time. He's got so much.

He's got his first race in Melbourne this week. Formula One driver Liam Lawson. Meg was so passionate about it. She brought it up with him. After we were talking about racing, Meg decided to throw this curveball. I've got a really dumb question. Ask away. How many times do you have to change your password? That's really stupid. I just mean in the way, like, I feel like we have to change our password here at MediaWorks for our emails every three months because in case somebody gets hacked. Have you got security around your phones and your system so much because of... Yeah, it's so ironic because I've literally been locked out of my email for the last like six months. Really? It's been a disaster, honestly, yeah. I'm also pretty disorganised about some stuff as well. So, yeah, I've forgotten so many of my passwords. I think that's more just me thing than like a, yeah, my driver thing. I'll wait under the edge.

I've been locked out of my Facebook. I very rarely use it, but I've been locked out of it for like two weeks now. I can't remember it. Really? I don't know how to reset it. Nightmare. What are you locked out of? 77%

of people in New Zealand are forgetting their password in the last month, which is crazy stats, really, to be honest. Makes a lot of sense to me. Let's go to the phones. Ashley, morning, what are you locked out of? Good morning. We're always locked out of our Disney account. Nightmare.

You've to send an email and try and unlock it and get the code. I've been there before. You put one in and goes, no, you've already used this password. And when you're using it through your TV as well, it is even more difficult because then you have to use the remote. Type in a password. And then tick, tick, tick, tick. Tick, tick, tick, tick, Tick, Tach, Tach, Tach, H, Ashley at.

Hotmail.com. Yeah, because the kids keep changing it. I change it, then the kids change it, then we can't remember what we've changed it to. We have to go through our old messages to see if we've text each other. What's the code? You need to get in, because otherwise, geez, who's looking after the kids, am I right? Yeah.

Just chuck a movie on. Especially on a Friday. We all need to do what my beautiful mum Jules does. She keeps a little password book. My mum does to the same. Say, ma. When she's come visiting in Auckland, mom will come up and visit

and then she'll call Graham and my step-in and go open up the book I can't get into it he's flicking through the pages trying to find the specific password and sometimes even they've got the wrong password within the book

which stuffs them up the worst is when it's just a push a circle I'm trying to log mum back into something that she's being logged out of and I go well what do you think your password is

and mum will give me a password and it's always something sexy and I'm like mum what are you like Lacey Laudrerevee 52 or something worse but yeah yeah I'm loving these

that are coming in. Let's quickly go to Morgan as well. Morgan, morning. Morning. What are you locked out of Morgs? My club penguin account. Shut up. What's a club penguin? Is that the same as NeoPets? No.

I don't know what neopets is, but been locked out of my club penguin account for like 15 years now. What is that? Is it to do with books? We're too old. What is the Cup? We need Yaz. We need Yaz. We need Yaz from the Ash London Show.

I bet you know what Club Penguin is. I spent hours on Club Penguin as a kid. There's like a whole bunch of mini games connected to a big, massive server, and you pretty much dress up your penguin, you can buy little pets for it and everything. It's neo-pets. It's neo-pets. No, Club Penguins way calling me. If it's 15 years, you've been locked out completely. She's still trying to get in there.

Yeah, and it's not just internet stuff that people are getting locked out either. Graham's text through saying we lost the deadbolt key to our front door, so me and the wife have been going through the back door for the last month. So it's everybody. Dan, I did a rebound on purpose. It was obviously a troll. What a night? Gary. Graham. Nice work, Graeme. Good one. You slip one past the goalie there.

Dan, take off the gloves, mate. You are no longer the goalkeeper for this team. You'd have to go around. That'd be a pain in the ass. Oh, I'd better work. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. The Edge. The Edge is easy money. Here's your shot at $10,000. Three past eight. Good morning. We're about to give you the chance to win $10,000. But first, we were just talking about things you're locked out of.

And we got this text right at the death. The one you wanted to share? Yes. I'd say thank you. Oh my gosh, Clint, total blank. That was a full blank face. Did you do this light face where she didn't know. Absolutely what was going on.

I'm Clint. This is dad. Thank you so much. I'm back. I'm back. I love this text. Mum needed to recover her email account password. Outlook asked for a code sent to the recovery email,

which was my dad's email. But dad had also forgotten his password. So Dad goes to recover his email account. And Outlook sends a code to the recovery email, which was Mum's email. Just an infinite look. They never got back in. They never got back in.

They're starting you emails. All right, let's get into it. $10,000 on the line going into the weekend. We want you to win it. The boss is all smug. It's been a few weeks. He doesn't think you can get it done. 0,800 at the edge, you can give us 10 answers,

starting with the letter that Meg gives you in 30 seconds. We'll put the cash in your account this weekend. Now, Gemma, this is just quickly, Gemma, who's going to play this morning. She's currently naked, apparently. Why, Gemma? Oh, I was just about to jump into the shower. So you do this.

You know what? Maybe this is the trick. This will be our first nude play of easy money. Yeah, thank you, Matt. If you win, I guarantee you won't be the last one trying to. My goodness me. Gemma, your letter this morning is T. Tea. T for...

Okay. Tow, which I guess you could have put on you. Oh, thank you, Clint. You saved me there. That is good. That is good, come on. Here we go. Okay, give me something in the kitchen.

What would you have said for famous mountain? The Alps, I don't know. But then you would have used the for something else. I don't know. Table Mountain, Taranaki. I would have stopped on that one. At least we know that. You know what?

Jimmer, that has been one of the best. showing we've seen in a few weeks, so well done. All right. Go and put some clothes on. I guess I'll go get a towel now. Yeah. Thanks, Jim. Good, man.

Damn. Wow. That just goes to show how many people are wanting to play easy money. People are willing to do it just before they get in the shower. Did she say a type of cheese properly? Did she give one? Towards the end, I started to black out. Jimmer, did you get a type of cheese?

Tasty? Tasty? Yeah. Wow, God, you're good, Jimmer. That is good. That's how you almost do it. unlucky man that'll rip your 908 for the rest of the week maybe we should do this radio show no maybe we'd be even better

it's the edge oh brand new from Harry Star as well. Ready, steady go. All right. Sorry, I'll stop talking over it. Clint, Megan Dan. Let's go.

How do I put this gently? It's not the greatest singer on this show. And in the past has been unfortunate to be banned from singing for a time. I have, and this song that you can hear in the background, I know it's a bit,

you could say crusty and we don't play it on the edge, but this has been, I've fantasised about singing this song. I would have lost count. Whenever I hear it, I go into a zone and I think about me singing out. I've even fantasized about going to a karaoke bar with you guys, like the whole team, and surprising you, and just going up on stage, you're like, oh, God, this is going to be funny. Get out of our phones.

It's going to be a laugh. And I just blow you all away by being able to sing. And we don't realize you've been doing vocal lessons for the last 400 years. I have a full breakdown of every single note what I'm doing. I do a shot somewhere in the middle there because I'm like so cool. But I just say that, you know, for someone that can't sing Meg, you'd think you'd go for another song. Like something a little bit easier vocally. That's one of the hardest songs to sing in the world.

Okay, well, let me take you back. One of my favorite songs was by a guy I discovered called The Professor. I thought he was this incredible singer that the world hadn't discovered. Turns out. The bro must be able to sing, but this is heavily improved by AI. He's like a comedian, an influencer. He's got a lot of followers on the gram and stuff. But yeah, and then I was like, wait, if you can make...

a great singer, phenomenal. Can he make a bad singer good? Yeah. It's a good question, Clint. And it makes you also question how many songs are tuned by AI. Yeah, and this one we know. If AI can make the worst singers phenomenal,

that absolutely evens the playing field for everyone and takes away the God-given talent that some people are blessed with at birth with incredible voices. Because, as you know, I have everything else going for me to be a pop star. Just not the singing. You've got the look.

You really do. Yeah, all of it. God, yes. Imagine me in a little what did cash you wear on the weekend? A little G-string leather leotard. Wow, that's a vision. I can imagine it. Well, Meg went in and

recorded Acapella, her vocal yesterday with our audio producer Grant, God bless him. Every time he gets a request, like an appointment, calendar, invite from any of us. I think he's a, oh God, well now. I would say Grant's unflappable.

But yesterday he was so stressed. His glasses fogged up All right, this was Meg at the beginning through the verses and this label is Sorry, this audio is labelled Meg Raw singing brackets not bad I hear the ticking of the clock

I'm lying here The room's pitch dark I wonder where you are tonight Can I say Can I also say I was completely Just singing this by myself No backing travel

Like nothing. It's like the original singer of this song got really, really drunk and went to karaoke. Yeah. It's not the fantasy that you imagined, Meg. But I'll tell you what, I got to give her an A plus 100% for commitment. Ah!

A for awful. Until now I match you. I did warm-ups beforehand and everything. What were they? Press-ups? No, Link, I didn't. Star jumps or something. Okay, next we debut Meg's song.

Oh, we're teasing it again. Really? There are two versions. Better be good. We've wiped on too long, I think, there unfortunately. For goodness sake. I've heard Billy Elish-esque. The wait is over.

Meg had 48 hours. And it's D-Day. With the help of AI, we've made Meg into a pop star. Someone else is actually texted in saying, oh my God, Meg, I have the exact same fantasy of singing the song. Morning, Georgia. Good morning. Morning, Georgia.

Do we have the same dream? I love Celine with my whole life, and yeah, every time that song comes on, I'm screaming it, like, with everything in my lines. But the sound that comes out... Yeah. Doesn't match what in our heads. I know, and don't you just wish that one day you could just impress everyone and blow everyone away and sing this?

And they're all like, whoa, Georgia. That's it. I have considered signing it to see Christmas singing lessons. Yes. The worst type of karaoke are karaoke on cruise ships, because everyone's always just walking around drunk. And they've got karaoke every night. Yeah.

Oh, God. Yeah, and they give away bar tabs if you win, so everyone's all right to go. I'm hoping I'm going to live out the dream for me and Georgia. Just one last time. If anyone's just tuned in, this is the raw audio that AI had to work with that me laid down yesterday. I hear the room's pitch dark. I wonder where you are tonight. Jesus.

No answer on the telephone. Right, right, right. Give it to me. Come on. I don't know if we're playing the whole thing or not, but it's two minutes and 12 seconds. Two minutes! I did the whole song! This is AI Meg performing.

Has it got music behind it and everything? Or is it, oh. Maybe you can text in 333. AI is leveling the playing field. Everyone can sing now, I think. I hear the ticking of the clock. I'm lying here. The room's pitch star.

Ew. I wonder where you are tonight. No answer on the telephone. some sort of like sick robot. And the night goes by so very slowly. Oh, I hope that it won't end though. Alone. Till now.

Billy Eilish shoes. And now it chills me to the bone. Atrocious. How do I get it? It's like being saying what I'm thinking. It's crazy. It's absolutely horrid. You don't know how to touch your lips. Oh, this is what I mentioned, Billy Eilish sounding like when she's 70.

and she's still trying to sing at the retirement home and Billy's up again you know what this does give us it gives us hope that AI is not taking over the world Danny else just text through a brilliant text

I feel depressed thanks Danny Al I absolutely think AI has done a bloody good job with what we gave it remembering that we gave it this a lot better about AI now someone else said this song sucks I mean I had a backup option

just in case I don't know if it's any better I know from singing again. Yeah, Daniels here again. No, no, no, no. Just six months. It brings me joy. I know.

I know. It's bringing no one else joy. Some people think it was impressive. Follow Sam Fender and Olivia Dean, but give it a nod. Jacy, how you go? They're shaking in their boots. Clint, Megan, Dan. Lesh go!

International Women's Day on Sunday this weekend. I have written something because I felt compelled. to yesterday last night. So I'll read it to you. Guess what? It's a poem. Oh, you're good at poems, though. Shocker. Shocker. I do one a year. Here's my one-a-year poem for you. Wow. You can. Started early. I'm done for the rest of the year.

So if you hate those, it's okay. Don't worry about it. You know his name. It's carved into mountains, written in pen, quoted in classrooms, passed down to children. You know his name. The first to the summit and who took steps. on the moon, you know who split the atom, who composed that tune.

But history has forgotten and erased names from sight, because while women were writing, men held the mic. Code written to bring our astronauts home, the signal that lets your Wi-Fi roam, the theory that altered how atoms behaved the twist of DNA the photograph gave, or founded by women and women alone, but somehow their names barely are known. Margaret Hamilton Heide Lamar Rosalind Franklin Lees Maitner

Your eyes wouldn't register The weight these names hold Had they changed our whole world And broke free from the mould So this weekend we honour the bold women Who Came Remember their stories So that we know her name

Beautiful What do you think, Clint? Chat GBT is doing some He always says that crazy stuff says that. Yeah, yeah. I was having to think about how many women there are

in history and we really don't actually know what they were doing. There was also the woman who invented the windshield wiper. From New Zealand, eh? Was she a key? Really? Yeah.

I didn't know if she was a keyhole. Oh, I think the windscreen wiper was invented in New Zealand, yeah. Was it really? Huh? And we, yeah. And you're right, women are just going about, doing their business,

doing these cool things, without the praise or the shadow. Because I guess if a guy does, he goes, does anyone need to know my first and last names so we can record that in the book? Look at what I've done. Obviously, places for everyone. It's not a play.

You know, it's not me trying to be like, the men aren't amazing and great, but it would be awesome to know their names as much as we know the guys that did amazing things in the world as well. And a movie, if you need to watch him this weekend, Hidden Figures is probably a good one. That's a great film.

Yeah, yeah, about one of those women I just spoke about in the poem. Relax, on the way home. I don't think you're on this Sunday. But usually it's true during the week, right? Because I feel like we have it during our show, usually. Yeah, maybe well, then last year it would have been on Saturday. Is it just as soon, is it always the eighth?

Always the same date. It's a round of weeks. So next year, Dan. Yeah, because otherwise we would have done presents and stuff. Oh, of course. We're off the hook for a song, Clint. We're not to do a special meg song. It's kind of like when April Foollands in the weekend, you're like, oh, thank God.

Because you're always got to come up with something wacky for the radio. I had written it, but I can't do it. Oh, my God. Holy shit. You made it the whole way through.
