This is a podcast from Rover. If you've ever sent a risky text and then thrown your phone across the room, you'll fit right in here. This is the Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Under the cover of darkness, hours before most people's alarms sound, they separately make their way to the studio. They arrive as three ordinary humans. Three people with boring, mundane, pathetic lives. Hey! Clint's life's quite exciting.

Now, with their powers combined, this is Captain Planet. No, no, it's not Captain Planet. Oh, right. Sorry, Force of Abbot. This is Clint Mac and Dan. Good morning! Good morning! Wednesday feels like a Thursday short week. Yeah, game two is it tonight, or the state of O?

Yeah, Queen's Day need to get it done otherwise game three will be a waste of time. What's the game, but what's the like catchphrase of the state of origin? State of origin, lose yourself in the moment. Close. It's state against state, mate against mate. The Maroons versus the Blues. You wouldn't think down, mate, so if people watch the game, Meg, it's like fisty cuffs within the first five minutes almost every single time. There's always a fight eh?

We are excited about the Panthers having a game tonight so they'll be all damaged for the weekend playing the Warriors. Almost. Far out, come on I was listening to you. I was kind of where I said the players who played tonight will be injured so if they play in the Panthers against the Warriors in the weekend they might not back up. You're almost there Meg. That was so close to sounding cool.

You had the right game, you hit them in the wrong order. Sadly, some of the Panthers are playing in the state of origin. Oh, damn it. Yeah, so hopefully they get banged up tonight and then they won't be able to back up against the Warriors. Produce Carl. Can you guys talk about fucking Sabrina Carpenter or something? Oh, sorry, I swore.

Sorry, it's just all the sports chat. Oh yeah, just sports chat. Anyway, sorry about the swear guys. Naughty. What a naughty boy. I heard a trailer before we started, saying, be the first caller, often the team will give away a prize. And I was like, what?

When are we start doing that? I don't think we're very good at that. I think it's for get to know you. I think the, I don't want to make the voiceover guy look like a liar So if you do want to double fast to our must see movie Megan, which is in cinemas June 26 Imagine that's just a home video of Megan and Guy, her husband Yes, our producer Kyle would say give us an even call We'll still yell the double. Actually yeah Megan too. Yeah, so that video would yeah, definitely don't want to see Megan doing two's

Oh God Bloody hell, this has been a shocker. Let's play a song, reset and come back better Are we, please tell me it's pre-recorded. Can we go again? Come on. It is live? Yeah, it's live. Oh damn it Clint, Megan, Dan. Oh my gosh. Time to jump into a 6 a.m. throwback for your Wednesday morning, get you excited. For the day, only a couple more to go, unless you're working Matariki and then time and a half day in Loon, all that. And good on you for working on a holiday as well,

you know, there's country still needs to run. Yep. Oh God. Dan's going over to Aussie to celebrate it. Yeah, which is a strange thing to do on New Zealand's Day. I think the reason I'm going over there, apart to see my brother, but also to just spread the word of Matariki. Oh, okay.

And just, you know, get other countries, starting with Australia, to really recognise it. Don Clint, do you want to? Why don't we run a little scenario when Cheryl's like, what are you from immigration? And she goes, what are you doing here, Mr Webby? He said, I'm celebrating Matariki. And she goes, oh, what's that? Here you go. I would go, it's a New Zealand holiday where, I'm celebrating Matariki and she goes, oh, what's that? Here you go. I would go, it's a New Zealand holiday where it's all about Matariki. And what does Matariki mean?

The stars in the sky. And, you know, at this time of year, Matariki is one of the constellations up in the sky, and it's very visible this time of year. Wouldn't it be easier to see in New Zealand? I think you can see it everywhere. If you're in Australia, you just need to know what you're looking for. And does it signify anything in particular, those stars?

Those seven stars? Hope. No. In a way, I guess. Cheryl's like, yeah, have a good time. I'm like, hold on, Cheryl, hold on, Cheryl, I'm going to stop you there. What is this, why are you asking me this when I'm coming into Australia? People come every day.

Yeah, every day they want to know what you're doing here, what your intentions are. Who's this guy? Dave. Yeah, Dave's behind you in the line, he's waiting. He's like, well I wouldn't know about Matariki too actually. Okay, well Dave, you know, it's about hope, okay, and I hope you get into the country easier than I am, because I'm dealing with this woman. It's um, isn't it about the new year?

Maori learning year? Yeah, Maori year. Yeah, exactly, well I was getting to that exactly. Well, I was getting to that. Oh, really? I was getting to that. I was getting to that. I was thinking about hope. What's the new year?

It means many different things. I think the start of a new year brings hope. So can I get it or not? Producer Nebja, our Maori producer. Kia ora. Maori on the show here. It is the Maori new year and it's just like celebrating the big cluster in the sky. It's the exact same as the logo on the Sabaru cars as well.

I was getting to that! Yeah, how much hope do we celebrate around the Māori New Year? Oh, like we're always celebrating hope, but you know, it's not specifically Māori New Year. I just like to celebrate it in general, Dan. Okay. People that have passed and stuff. Yeah, people that have passed, people that are present. I mean, passed away. Oh, Dan. Okay. People that have passed and stuff. Yeah, people that have passed, people that have present. I mean, passed away.

Oh, right. Yep. You idiot. Are you letting me in or not? All right, let's get back on a plane back to New Zealand. We just worry if we let you in the country, you might get lost. Well, it's the last time I spread any sort of message

for anyone, pisses me off. Thank God for that. All right, six AM throwback. What are we looking at this morning? Yeah well Justin Timberlake. Oh yeah? Last year, this exact day last year he was arrested for drink driving. Oh wow and then he had like a concert two days later that he had to postpone.

Oh that's right. And then the police body cam footage was released and I'm pretty sure Justin was doing the Do you know who I am? He did! In the Gen Z, the cop didn't yeah I like tonight if we're doing Justin Timberlake can I vote love stone I used to go to town and wait for the interlude and then I'd walk in on the And it was like this moment I thought everyone would look at. She's freaky. No, no, no, no.

She's freaky and she likes it. It goes, it goes, it's like a violin part of the song. Okay. Should we put this in and then we can all have a listen and try and work out when we think Meg's walking into the club. Yeah, me and my friends would stand the door and go, no, go past, go past. We're waiting for the interlude. Like Charlie's angels You now in the club I'm standing here looking around me like which one of you I would have lived I've gone

Which one of you want some of this yeah, I've got a bag of his by me drink boys Guys you wanna leave Such a great moment feels 18 19 on top of the world. Like, not a, you know, not a problem. Care in the world. Yep. You know what, not a problem in the world. Not a problem.

Yeah, it's Justin Timberlake's love story. Just the same throwback that Meg would use as her entrance music into tones. Good on you, Meg. Yeah, yeah. He was just like the biggest thing, eh? He was amazing. Good on you, Meg. Yeah, yeah. He was just like the biggest thing, eh? He was amazing.

How? I've never seen him live, have you guys? How would you use it as your entrance music out of interest? Because you would have had to come and request the song then leave. No, they played, it was one of those, it's a club they played it every weekend.

They played it every weekend. And I would wait for it to play and then I'd leave the club when it started. Wait, so they'd play at the same time every? No, but when it did start and then I'd leave the club when it started. Wait, so they'd play at the same time every... No, but when it did start playing I'd leave the club. Wait, Meg can pay the cover charge again? Oh for goodness sake, what a pathetic... Like, how many times Genie wanted to get you laid?

Sarah... Sarah's never been laid. Meg's like, it's playing, guys I'm gonna go out again, get to the back of the line, and then hopefully by the time I get back in, the violence has started. They're like, Meg, you've got to stop doing this routine. It gets you nowhere. She's like, guys, don't, I'm 19, I don't have a problem. Oh, my God. Do you mean care in the world?

I don't know. Stupid thing is none of us is exaggerating. You guys have completely nailed it. Oh god. Okay. Right. Oh man. We gotta get to Scandal next week so you're gonna have to do a bit of a reset. Scandal next, not coffee ketchup? Scandal. Scandal. Okay. Yeah. Beyonce has broken world records so we can talk about going through that. Like officially with Guinness and stuff.

She just said, well no, it breaks record, not one of the ones where she's pulled enough tissues out of a box or something. She should try that one. Yeah, I would actually watch that episode. Yeah, anyway. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Sorry, we can't talk about what we were talking about

just off here. We're only comparing the sizes of our phones. This one's 6.7 inches. No, yours is 6.7, mine's only 6.3 inches. If anyone knows the show, they know if these boys were talking about inches, it soon quickly changed to something else. Well, Dan was talking about his 6.7 inches.

Obviously his phone, he goes, and I'm not talking about my phone. And then I went, I think he wanted to be bigger than 6.7. I'll be honest, I'm happy with 6.7. Okay. Okay. Scandal with Meg. Beyonce has broken a record at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham. Yep. What did you call it? Tottenham. I was like, where is this place? Tottenham Hotspur. Is that a place? She's like, guys, I'm playing at the Tottenham Hotspur home place. You know, it sounded like a spa. Tottenham Hotspa. What? No, you know like Manchester United Football Club or Liverpool? Yeah, oh they play there. Tottenham Hotspurs? No, Tottenham Hotspurs is another team in the same league.

It's there like home green. Oh wow, so it's England somewhere. Yeah, it's an English Premier League football team. It's a place called Tottenham. She has had the highest grossing concert for any artist with 61.5 million, I'm guessing for Tottenham. Yeah, that's a big stadium so I'd imagine yeah it would be... Most ticket sales for any artist $275,000 sold and also most concerts performed by any artist was $6,000. Wow, so she's playing back-to-back nights at Tottenham. Yeah, must have done that but still...

Six nights in a row sold out. Yeah, that's incredible that, but still... Six nights. Yeah, six nights and Rose sold out. Yeah. That's incredible. That is incredible. Beyonce in the UK? Yeah, over a quarter of a million tickets sold for that. That's crazy, because I would have thought her peak popularity would be in the States. Me too.

I was a bit surprised by that, but maybe Beyonce doesn't tour as often, and so the hype is there. Yeah, true. I reckon artists at the moment would be like really making a bit of cash from touring again since for so long we didn't have any for Covid right? So Tottenham Hotspur Stadium seats 62,000 nearly 63,000 people so she's playing six nights there wow. Imagine being that popular and that many people just wanting to see you play a concert. Incredible. Yeah, I mean I don't think the pressure would get to her anymore.

I think it would be in the way, her pressure would be in herself of wanting to do the best that she can do. Yeah. At the end of her final tour, the final London date, she said thank you Sir Paul McCartney for writing one of the best songs ever made. Every time I sing I feel so honoured and it's a full circle moment to where your beautiful daughter's design. Thank you London, thank you for creating unforgettable memories for me and my family.

Holla at ya when I come tour again. Wow. Yeah I'm trying to find out when the last time she was touring the UK and all I can sort of find is that she began her solo tour debut in the UK in 2003 and then I can't find anything between 2003 and 2025. Oh yeah so they've been desperate. Yeah so if she hasn't been back between those two times then that'll be why right? Megan I went to the Airis tour a couple of years ago in Australia in Melbourne and Taylor Swift

that was her biggest audience ever. Yeah it was. And I know that the MCG where she played is a hundred thousand seats. That's unreal. But I don't think it was quite that. It was like 80 or something thousand, wasn't it? From memory. I remember looking up, cause we're down the quite low, down the bottom of the seating, looking up to the top.

And it was like looking at an ant, another person in the opposite end of the stadium. Like unfathomable how big those stadiums are. Wow. Yeah. There was that weekend that the boss shouted you and Meg took some flights to Taylor Swift and then told me to keep it a secret from you both. Yeah, that was an interesting one. He goes, he called me while I was running to go and get a water between songs.

He goes, hey Clint, just real quick. And I go, yeah. And he goes, you're not a big Taylor Swift fan, eh? And I went, well, not probably like Meg and Dan, but yeah, I like Taylor, and he goes, oh, okay, cool, because I'm sending them to Melbourne. I was like, I like going to Melbourne with my friends and going to concerts.

I felt horrible about that. One of the greatest concerts in the world. Yeah, we had a good time, didn't we, Meg? We did, oh, we had a great time. We shared a hotel room, pushed our beds together. Yeah, we were trying to push them apart at one point because they were so close. But Dan, you're getting angry all the time because you needed to stop for snacks.

Mixed snores, man. Oh, do I? Oh, god, she snores. No, I do not. You are lying. She does. She's got a smirk on your face. Alright, we want to get to know you.

Oh, 800 The Edge, give us a call and we'll sort you out of the voucher to go spend in store at Z. Meg will hit you with a very thought-provoking question and then the three of us will try and guess your answer and see who's closest. She always pre-plans the question as well. Oh yes. But sometimes, even though she's pre-planned the question, she'll throw it out last minute and go with just something that comes to her in the moment. It's a talent clip. It is. If you're wondering right now, what question would Meg ask me? You're only gonna know if you call. ["Get, Get, Get To Know, Know, Know"] You better, better, baby.

I wanna get to know you. This morning we're getting to know Mackenzie. Mackenzie's on her way to work as a nurse. She drives a Mazda Axela. She prefers dogs over cats. Her star sign is a Leo, just like me, and her nickname is Macka. Love that for Mackenzie.

Morning Mackenzie. Morning, morning, team. Morning Mackenzie. Morning the team. I would say the Mazda XZ is the most common car for our listeners. It does come up a lot. Pretty typical. It comes up a lot. How's Nelson this morning? Is that freezing? It's so freezing I had to defrost my window it took ages. It was four degrees on the way in this morning and we're up the top so I was like, oh, felt for you on the way in this morning. Yeah, it would have been really hard getting into your car and your garage, Clint. I mean, yeah, I didn't have to worry about defrosting the window because, yeah, when

it's in... You have a carpeted garage. Yeah, so the garage keeps the car relatively warm. Yes. Yeah, yeah. It must be nice. It must be a Mackenzie. Sam, you also have a garage. Yes, I do. Yeah, it's lovely, yeah. Must be nice. It must be a Mackenzie.

Dan, you also have a garage. Yes, I do. What about heated seats? Not heated seats. Mackenzie's nickname is Mackay. You can see where I'm going with this, boys. Watch McDonald's order. I was like, no, I can't see you.

Oh my god. Okay. Okay. I reckon Mackenzie. Over his head straight away. I reckon Mackenzie's a McChickener. She loves a McChicken. She thinks it's tried and true. Right. And yeah, that's what she goes through every day.

Now I'm gonna- Okay, you're looking in just a McChicken. McChicken combo. Oh, okay. With what? Okay, with chips. And she's going to Coke. Straight down the middle.

Straight Coke, okay. Straight down the middle. Okay I think Mackenzie is more value for money and she can't really decide and no one goes to McDonald's without getting nuggets so she does a hunger buster. Oh! So she gets like a cheeseburger. You've kind of taken my idea. Then she gets the yeah nuggets always sweet and sour because no one's doing barbecue and then like a coconut sugar Cognac sugar, dammit Clinch! Because you're having two proteins so you've got to reduce the calories somewhere Alright, Mackenzie is getting a Big Mac combo with a cheeseburger on the side and a Sprite

What do you guys think she is? Well she's a growing 24 year old woman And she gets extra pickles No, she just likes some McChicken. You guys, she doesn't have the stomach capacity. What's the order? You're not going to work, you're driving up to the drive through now,

what are you placing? Well, I'm gonna have to go with Meg because I've never ever had Coca Cola in my life, so it's gonna be a sprite. What? You've never had Coca Cola in your life? your life. You're 24 aren't you? 24. No I'm 26 but yeah I just don't like it. But how do you know if you don't like it? You must have tried it then. I don't like the smell I don't like the color. It looks like poo water.

Clint loves the smell he's always sniffing coke. We need we need to fly Mackenzie up from, I'm ignoring that, we're gonna fly Mackenzie up from Nelson and we have to be in the room when she tries her first coke, surely. That's wild. That's mental. And I love how Megan's- It's not gonna happen.

Megan's the point just because of the Sprite. What about, are you a Big Mac girl? Not really, I'm an all day breakfast kind of girl. I'd probably get an and egg McMuffin. Damn it. Oh, wow. We should have actually gone breakfast, though, because it's 6.40. She's a nurse.

She's going to be sphyncing. Yeah, damn it. All right, Meg takes another point. Cool for her. Thanks, Mackenzie. Mackenzie, you're going to sort out the voucher. You can go spend in store at Z. All right, so go enjoy that.

Today is Double Deal Day with Z Rewards. So go double your points. Let's change your name to Macca. Macca. Yeah. Love it. I saw something on TikTok yesterday and wanted to bring it to you boys and see if it works.

Ooh, I like this. Is that okay? Yeah, that's fine. All right, yeah, it's fine. Thanks, Dan. Dan's okay with it. It's okay with me. I ain't gonna stop ya. Clint, Megan, Dan.

Let's go. That scene on TikTok. When we see something great, we're always like, oh my God, my best friends need to see this. And then we share it all around. What is the one thing that you would like to share with everybody? My one is a very quick one.

It's a guy over in the UK. He's a radio announcer. And he's had a bit of a situation on air where he's sworn. And I don't know if it's accidental, but it's gone out on air and he's had a bit of a situation on air where he's sworn. And I don't know if it's accidental, but it's gone out on air and he's had to make an apology. Have a listen. We would love to hear it and get it on the radio for you

if you want to upload a track. ["The Time of the Year"] It's time to have a look at where we live. It's time to have a look at where we live. So loud. Like so intense. Apparently this is his excuse. I reckon he's lying.

Really? He got a cramp. Oh, but have you had a really bad cramp? I've never had a cramp while I've been talking on the radio. How could you just call dropped an F-bomb at the start of the show? Just because he forgot like where he was. But the baby, he's on the BBC this guy. Which is very like high brow.

Again Meg, I can go second. But I feel it's going to be a hard reel to follow. Right. And this is a guy who's got an Alexa. I've got an Alexa, a lot of people do. Me too. This is a feature that you can do with your Alexa. Take a listen. Hey Alexa, I want you to fart for me. I think you just whispered to me. From now on, when you whisper, I will whisper back. Oh my god, Alexa, fart for me.

Okay, here's big fart. Oh shi- That was a deep one. Shall I do another fart sound? Yeah, give me another one, come on. And then he stops playing with Alexa because... Too far Alexa. And he's probably getting a little too wound up there.

He'll have a very broke character too and he goes, oh! Oh Alexa, come on. Oh yuck Alexa. So give it a go. That's your hammer. I have a scenario for you boys that I saw on TikTok. Okay. Okay so you can answer, Chris and Kyle you can answer as well.

You've got a million dollars in the bank right now in your bank account, so don't think about the house or anything. It's a million dollars actually sitting in your bank account, right? You're walking along. It's a quiet street. Nobody else is really around, not a dark alleyway or anything, but there's not like people can see you. You're just chilling. You're walking with your million dollars in your bank account, feeling fine. Must be nice, yeah. Coffee in your hand, and then you see a $100 note on the ground. Do you pick it up? You got a million dollars in the bank do you keep walking

or do you still pick up the bank? Meg I didn't make a million dollars by not being greedy so yes I would pick that up. Damn hacks it up okay. Yeah I pick it up. Carl? Yeah Millie's it's not heaps these days I pick it up. All three of you are cheaters then, according to this TikTok. What? Why do you think guys cheat then? Someone commented on our post, just because you have a million dollars in the bank account

doesn't mean you're not gonna pick up a hundred dollar bill on the street if you see one. So it's like, even if you have a wife or a girlfriend, that's really hot that you love at home. If some girl is just like offering it up for free and it's just right there and no one's gonna find out, then like some guys will take it. Sick, all three of you you 100% that's me

I'd be cheating on her as well with that fast talking She didn't know where the crap out of me It was speed up you arsehole Wow So look at that something you can ask your partners ladies or gents If they had a million dollars in the bank account would they pick up a hundred dollars and if so cheater I would have gone and donated it to the orphanage though Oh shut up you can't go and donate it or gents, if they had a million dollars in the bank account, would they pick up a hundred dollars? And if so, cheater. I would have gone and donated it to the orphanage though.

Oh shut up, you can't go and donate a whole pill to an orphanage. I look at it more like to the local orphanage. My wife is the million dollars, and her flashing me a boob is the hundy, right? And I'm like, yeah, all day. Like I'm greedy for more money, as in I'm greedy for more of my wife.

No, more of her. No, you're getting a boob flash from another woman. From another woman. No, you're getting a boom flash from another woman. No, you're saying that the money is a different woman. To me, the money is my wife. $100, $1.50, it's all my wife. Meg once flashed me, I don't have to pay her a cent. Yeah.

It would work if you said you had a million dollars and then there was 100 bonus bonds. I can't say, why why you ruin every single situation. Why do you look so deep into it Dan? Bonus bonds are such a boomer thing to do as well. Trust you to know. My mum used to love bonus bonds. Different form of currencies.

You never find a bonus bond on the floor. Yeah. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Postcode playlist is happening at eight o'clock. Dan has thrown together a song for Ruta Rua, which we'll be debuting in about an hour. Yeah we'll be doing this I think for the next few weeks until we have a proper album list of songs for places around the country that you can own as an anthem for that town.

Well Dan you'll be doing it for months if you want a double cd sort of album. Well let's just do one album. All right now you compile the lyrics unknowingly by just sending in inspiration for the city or the town. Yeah, to be honest, I don't have any control over the lyrics. The listeners send through the lyrics. All right, here's just some of the things that people suggested that Dan

has hopefully crowbarred into the song. Honestly, I just think of meth. I just think of mud and bubbles. Bubbling mud. Honestly, just smells like shit. I just think of all the speed bumps Bubbling mud. Honestly, just smells like shit. I just think of all the speed bumps. Like, how can I get anywhere? Don't they still have a common goal? Yeah, and of valentines.

So the smell and meth mostly is what I kind of picked up on that. Yeah, a lot of the stuff talking about how people either love or hate the smell as well. It's a very polarising smell Rotorua so here's about 15 seconds of the song oh my god Dan I love it that's actually better than the teas we normally get from like Dua Lipa and Lord. Yeah I love it so far. There's a little bit in the middle that will surprise a lot of people as well. There's a little bit of a, I'd call it an Easter egg. Oh have you got a cameo? Have you got someone to jump on the song? You could say that yeah. Oh my god. A famous New Zealander. From Rotorua?

Well, you'll have to find out after eight o'clock this morning. Okay. We get into E.G. Money next, and then men writing erotic fiction for the female gays after seven o'clock. Yeah, it's an exciting one actually, because obviously it's gone away, it's come back again this one for a very specific reason.

My maternity cover Ash London is a writer and she has been known to do a little bit of smart herself. She does erotic stuff hey. Yeah and so it's the boys you've collaborated and writes books versus an actual author so I'm very excited to see how you boys do up against Ash.

Not yet. It's only a matter of time. I'm sure once you do the edge, fill in breakfast, more people in. And then straight to the top of the charts. Yeah, it's only a matter of time I'm sure once you do the edge fill in breakfast more people in the world will buy and then straight to the top of the charts yeah it's a great book I've read have you bought it yet? I've got it and it's a one of four books that I'm gonna get to once I finish the dragon stuff oh yeah I'm still finishing what is it Onyx Storm there's not much dragons in yours is there? No maybe a bit of imagine dragons potentially a reference but that would be as dragon-y as it gets.

So Ash being an actual author and looking to write more books, you're writing one at the moment maybe? Yes, yes. And looking to dabble in some smart? Definitely. So we thought we had to bring back men writing women, which is where we get the boys normally to write erotic fiction for the female gays since men untourist they pretty bad at it sometimes yeah so I've got Ash's first boys to hear potentially how it's meant to be done

okay fine I'm actually you guys collabed for the very first time on your story yeah yeah I'm happy to follow whatever Ash has put up I wrote this as Meg by the way really I tried to channel you and what you would really want and you're sounding super sexy so far okay once you hear the ding my writing Ian's Asher starts here we go it's been and it's gonna be another late night in the office I thought to myself the news doesn't stop anyone and I had a deadline article I needed to have on the bosses desks by six I was just about

to order my favorite local takeout and settle in for the night when the office door swung open. Meg, what are you doing here so late? It was Jacob the sports journalist. His voice was low, gravely, like velvet over smoke. I looked up and there he was, gym bag in hand, muscles taut beneath his damp t-shirt, sweat, a skin gleaming with sweat. My eyes trailed from the cut of his shoulders down to the thick curve of his thighs each one flexing beneath his shorts with every slight movement. Oh Ash! Yours is almost as good as ours! This was the body that had been hidden under tailored suits for the past six

months. God I am oh I'm just on a tight deadline. I'm at a brain short circuiting as I drank him in. He nodded slowly, gaze steady. I was just gonna hit the shower before meeting some friends for drinks. I'm a bit sweaty. I imagined him in a steam fogged room, water cascading over that chest soap sliding along every sculpted line. A sudden tug of desire made my nipples peek beneath my silk blouse. Traderous and achingly sensitive. His eyes flickered downward, lingering just long enough to make my chest... My god. Lingering just long enough to make my chest...

Chest what? Make my chest what? Sorry, sorry. To make my breath catch. His mouth curled into a slow, wicked grin. My pulse hammered. He let his gym bag fall to the floor with a dull thud, then reached back and shut the door behind him, never breaking eye contact.

God, he's hot! How was your workout? I stammered. He stepped forward, deliberate and slow. Oh, you know, felt good to get my blood pumping. What about you, Meg? What gets your blood pumping? I leaned back in my chair, every nerve in my body was like a live wire. He crossed the room like a predator, slow focused, eyes

fixed on me like I was his next meal and when he stopped just inches away his scent hit me, an intoxicating mixture of sweet and something dark, almost dangerous. Well, he asked, voice low and dark, gaze burning through me. I opened my mouth to answer but nothing came out. He knelt down in front of me. Jesus. As if possessed, I spread my legs to make space for him to inch closer.

Oh! He reached forwards, grabbed me by the waist and pulled my chair in towards him. One hand reached out to stroke my cheek. I closed my eyes savouring every millimetre of contact. His fingers started trailing a feather soft line down my neck, down my cheek. I closed my eyes savouring every millimetre of contact. His fingers started trailing a feather soft line down my neck, down my chest. He brought his mouth to my ear.

Keep going. Does this get your blood pumping? He asked, his voice soft. I nodded. A soft whimper was all that I could manage. Oh, Ash, I can't look at you. Jeez, I gotta pick up, I gotta sever any love on the air. I've got to pick up, I've got to set ready love on the air. I've had it sitting next to my bed for like three months.

Holy cow. Who knew a gym man was so sexy? Holy cow. I wrote it and I'm almost feeling it. How you going? I'm a beautifully delivered man. Very beautifully read. You could do audiobooks.

It's nice to read something that doesn't make me, you know, want to die a little in there. Which I think is gonna be happening next with the boys' collaborative. You feeling good to go after the boys? Can I just say, Dan was like a guy who just wanted to climb Everest and I'm like a Nepali shipper. I carried his ass that whole story.

But I'm the one that gets all the glory. Yeah. All right, that's fine. Yeah, yeah, you guys are really good. I believe in you guys, come on, you're gonna do great. Hi Ash, that gets all the glory. Yeah. OK. All right, that's fine. Yeah, yeah. You got the power of two men. I believe in you guys. Come on, you're going to do great. Hey, Ash, that was cute, man.

Yeah. The power of two men versus one woman next. And Ash London filling in for Meg's mat leave in a few weeks joins us. Yes, and she is an author. If you want to text Ash to 3343, you have, you can get her book. She actually has written an amazing book,

Could Love on the Year. And we just got a little taste of what she can write like her first ever edition of men writing woman if you missed it there's a line like his voice was low gravelly light velvet over smoke and I looked up and there he was a gym bag and hand muscles tore beneath his damn t-shirt and now we've got the boys one now boys you've done this collaboratively you wrote this together for the very first time. Yeah we put our heads together don't we Clint? Yeah yeah Dan said to me, he goes, you're backing out a little bit. Dan goes at one point he goes delete that line delete that line and then I'm like okay and he goes I normally write when we when Dan writes a write a fiction he goes I normally write nude and I, well, you're not doing that in the studio. Yeah, absolutely not. I asked Clint if I could take my pants off.

He said no. Don't do it. Do you know what slow burn is, boys? I should have told you this. It's a Casey Musgraves song. I should have asked, but I'm all right with the slow burn. Actually, it's the most important part, I think, of writing erotic fiction for women is the slow burn.

We don't want to go straight into it. You need to warm a woman up. You need to make her think about it once. So by the time they finally make contact or get together, she's literally gagging for it to happen. I'm trying to get their pants off as quick as possible. That happened a little in our story. How's that gone for you generally? Not well.

Again, if you haven't heard this before, I write the first part. When you hear the ding, the boys writing starts. Here we go. Okay, good, if you haven't heard this before, I write the first part. When you hear the ding, the boys run in starts. Here we go. Okay, good luck Clint. Ugh, it's gonna be another late night at the office, I thought to myself. The news doesn't stop anyone. I had a deadline article I needed to have on my boss's desk by six. I was just about to order my favourite local takeout and settle in for the night when the door swung open. I knew it was Britney. Britney! Come on boys! Britney! Britney's hot! It's already bad! You can't tell what Britney looks like! I knew it was Britney. I saw her boobs

days before the recipient body made it through the foyer. Think of that! Dave's days! How big must they be? The Yosembourg before Yosyface! It's like a cruise ship! It's not even full of lines! She was wearing her usual attire, a white sheer top, two sizes too big that revealed her black lacy brazier

Brazier? No! and a tiger tanner rearing its head from right beneath her tight cleavage. I couldn't figure that out. Where was the tiger? Where did you meet? It's coming out of her boots. Like it's literally out of here. From the cleavage. Yeah, the cleavage. Like it's going rawr out of there.

Okay. Revealed to a black lacy brassiere and a tiger tattoo rearing its head from beneath her tight cleavage. She wasn't wearing any pants. Yeah, we rushed it because you gotta get them off well she's just rocked up to the office with no pants on Natalia I didn't realise anyone was still here oh it's girl on girl nice of course it is

of course of course of course it's what everyone wants every heterosexual woman wants I've realised now we're riding for the female gaze we made the misfit oh I'll claim it was the guy that decided on the lesbians I don't mind the lesbians for the female case, we made the mess. Oh, Clint was the guy that decided I'm the lesbian.

I don't mind the lesbians, it's okay boys, I'll give you that. Okay. Oh, Natalia, I didn't realise anyone was still here. Have you seen my pants? I had, but in a split moment caught myself lying as the word no escaped my mouth. Well, so she knows where the pants are. She doesn't know where the pants are. She's headed the pants.

She wants the pants to remain off. She's just headed... You got it. She's put them in a cupboard somewhere. Got it. That's really dodgy for the office. I must say. She should not be able to get her pants off.

I wanted to devour her legs one by one and savour every moment. My expression and salivation giving away my late night office fantasy all too easily. So she's just drooling. Literally just like salivating. Salivation as well. What a sexy word. It's a sexy word. Hot cheese. Like two, you know what could have metaphors was like two sexy magnets

mouths crashed into her another. What would make a magnet sexy? Is it in the shape of a penis? North pole, south pole. Like two sexy magnets, our mouths crashed into one another, our lips intertwined and I tasted her for the first time. She tasted like cinnamon and sage, the sexiest of the spices. Sage! Cinnamon is sexy. Cinnamon is not sage. I told you sage was not sexy. I chose cinnamon, I chose sage. I said sage gives was not sexy. I chose Sinan and I chose Sage. I said Sage gives rid of spirits.

Sage is how you ward off the bad heebie-jeebies. My instincts told me to slow down as my body began to overheat with arousal. I desperately wanted her to stay. I began ambushing her blouse, my fingers interlocking. Wait, wait, she didn't have a blouse on. She had a sheer t-shirt. Sheer top, now it's chain. Same thing. Her fingers inter, now it's chain. Okay. Same thing. Fingers interlocking behind my neck.

I was just about to order food if you want to eat in. Oh God, where is this going? Hey, hey, hey, hey! It's a real twin. Oh God! No, where is this going? I asked hopefully. She stared intently into my eyes, a smirk pulling at the corner of her mouth that she said

I'd rather eat it out I'm gonna eat it out I'm gonna eat it out I'm gonna eat it out I'm gonna eat it out I'm gonna eat it out I'm gonna eat it out Oh god boys you've done it again

Yeah brilliant It was better than a professional one! I'm devastated I didn't think of that line for mine! That has absolutely wiped me out! I'm devastated! You'll be glad you wore your thick panty line out this morning! Oh so fucked! So fucked Clint!

Yes! Right in the room! Stop! Sorry don't we were all fighting! Fuck, we were, we were constantly around. Okay. Clint, Megan, Dan, Stinky Boop. Okay, so have you got your guesses for the honorary Oscar? Now, I believe there are a couple of names that you won't know.

Wynn Thomas, Debbie Allen, they are choreographers, actors, directors. But there are two names that you will know, definitely. And both of them have never received an Oscar before but both been nominated. Okay wait so Meg when you get an honorary Oscar is it for your body of work over the years collectively they've said you should have won one so we're gonna basically yeah I believe people in the past have won Oscars previously and won this honorary Oscar so um yeah like for one Angelina Jolie has won the honorary Oscar before but she also won Best

Supporting Actress back in the year 2000. So you can but these two haven't and it's described as to honor extraordinary distinction and lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion pictures, arts and sciences in any discipline. Okay. So have a think about that and also have a think would you? Would we gonna say the same thing we've got to say the same thing I was gonna ask you that more to you that you get an honorary one I like you probably should have because you have been here for so long Or would it kind of be like I want a real one sounds to me like it's one of those ones

You're like here go. Here's one just. No but then actually what makes that argument I think void is the fact that Meg just said people who have won Oscars still win this. Yes. So it's not like oh you should have won one of these races and you haven't so we're gonna give you this special award that tries to replace that. Or do you want just one Oscar for a performance in a movie where you were better than anyone else that year? Richard Curtis, he has won Best Original Screenplay and he's been, so he won an Oscar previously and got this as well, Clint. So you're right.

Yeah, it's like in radio they do one like a Services to Radio over the years. It's just like that, but if you haven't won an Oscar before, does it feel like it's taking that moment? I'd rather get it for an acting performance personally. Right, okay one's a singer, one's an actor, female singer, male actor. Male actor. Oh singer. Never won an Oscar, neither of them before. Oh okay. Have they been in the game obviously for a long long time? Very long time. Very long. Well yeah long time. I was thinking. It's not very old old old people. I know that Brad Pitt recently won an Oscar so he was my original guest. Okay. Because he's only recently won. It isn't Brad Pitt but it's a great guest. Bradley Cooper? God no. B-list? He's B-list. Okay the singer is Dolly Parton.

Dolly Parton is going to be an honorary Oscar. She has been nominated twice I believe for two Oscars for best original song 9 to 5 in Transamerica but never won. Yeah. And the actor that has never won an Oscar before in their lives but will be getting it this November for the first time. Kevin Hart. Tom Cruise. Oh yeah he deserves it. He deserves it even though he's really weird. Well because he's not getting Oscars because he's just always doing action films maybe. And it's not normally the type of category that you would win an Oscar. Yeah, things like Top Gun Maverick. I mean, you're probably not going to win an Oscar for that,

but he is an incredible stunt artist. He is devoted. No one could say whether, weird or not, how he isn't devoted to his craft. In this latest Mission Impossible movie, this is incredible. So he's on a plane and he's climbing over the wing and stuff, like he's got out of the plane he is controlling the camera off camera so he's using doing the focus and the zoom and everything whilst acting in that scene and that's Oscar worthy in itself that's exactly probably why these exist because it's like your

absolute dedication and passion towards your craft he has that he's through and through because unless you're doing a like a autobiography type movie like a biopic or something, or you're doing like a really intense character like the Joker or something, you probably don't get the opportunity to show how incredible you are as an actor in action films. It's like Emma Stone to me, she picks movies that are probably Oscar movies but not movies that I'm going to really want to watch in cinema. Exactly. Like Marvel movies are never gonna win. So they're gonna be winning those in November this year. Put it on them. That extends Google history.

I think Ash hasn't left the building actually at the moment, so we're gonna see if she wants to come back in and to see what Dan's Google history is all about because she hasn't seen it before. She'll know it's just a normal person Googling normal things. That's what she's gonna learn next. Well, that's not always the case, Dan, and that's why we keep doing it once a week.

Ash London who's gonna be filling in for Matt Leaf in a couple of weeks when Meg goes off to look after a second child. Yeah and Ash will be taking over this segment I imagine. This is like a handover. Yeah. Um, Dan, we go through, well I get to go through Dan's Google history from the week, and every week he seems to forget that I do this because it's just a little insight into Dan's brain. But I never, I never, I stand by everything I Google. I genuinely do.

That's the sign of a good man I think. You've got to back yourself in when it comes to this stuff. Yeah and some of the stuff might come across weird but most people would Google weird stuff. Okay would you hand your phone over Ash to anybody to go? Absolutely not. No, I've got something to hide. Just, I don't want you to know, I spend a lot of energy putting forward a very normal, front-facing persona, and if you saw what I Googled, you'd think, oh, she's not normal

at all. My normal persona's gone out the door. Yeah, no one thinks you're normal. Here we go. What's in Dan's Google history? Isn't sexy, is it weird? Will it solve a great big mystery? Or is something new in here? That's a pretty interesting one to kick it off

because there were no Googles around it. It was just a, like, out of the blue moment that Dan thought, 18th of June, to Google rash shirt. Oh yeah, that was this morning. or 18th of June to Google rash shirt. Oh yeah, that was this morning. I was Googling it to, because I'm going to Australia. I was about to say as an Australian, if you're going to Australia, I don't know you're going, you need a rashie.

Oh, isn't there not frowned upon? As some reason there's some stigma in New Zealand, and I want to get to the bottom of it, about rash shirts. There's nothing uncool about Sunspot. I'm going to Japan and if you want to use the baths, they don't want visible tattoos. So I have to get a rash top. Is that what you have to get one for as well in Aussie?

Yeah, if I want to go to the beach or go in the pool at the hotel. I don't think he has to cover his tattoos. He's got one tiny little paper airplane on his ankle. Yeah, I'd need an ankle. Do you know what else you need in the onsen in Japan? They give you a little, like a... Well, it's little for the Japanese people.

I don't know what you need, but they give you a little towelette to put over your... Oh, his towelette? Yeah, like a little face washer. Nothing little is going to be able to cover it. Over your wally. You'll need a full beach towel. Oh, my God. That's a $50 room I got Meg to start years ago. Nothing little was going to be able to cover it. Over your Wally. You'll need a full beach towel. Full beach towel?

Oh my god. That's a $50 room I got Meg to start years ago. It's the best money I ever spent at. OK. Dan is going on holiday tomorrow. Did you find out how you two upgrade on a flight? Very rarely happens. Yeah.

Right. OK. So. Definitely not with a one-year-old. You'd haunt him. No, we're not going up to first class. And I don't know if your wife is approving of this, but you also did Google earlier this week, can an 18-month-old play PS5?

I was trying to prove an argument. Hannah's firmly no, and so is Google, unfortunately. I don't think an 18-month-old is quite ready for that yet. Love the thing. Now this one, I'm excited to know the story. These are three Googles in a row. Signs this one, I'm excited to know the story. These are three Googles in a row. Signs of flirting, and then how to know if I'm being flirted with, and then OPSM Northshore

staff list. What? Sorry. What? You tried to find those? This is the one where I'm a little bit ashamed of. I went in to pick up some prescription glasses that I'd ordered. And my goodness me, the lady in there.

Because I put them on. And I know that she's probably trying to sell them to me. She's paid to compliment you. She's paid to compliment. She was lovely, but she was flirting. According to Google, she was doing all that. She was looking me in the eye. She's an optometrist, that's her job.

True, true. But she was saying like, God, those look good on you. I think she even said, I've never seen glasses look better on a man. There's no way she said that. This reminds me of the time, supposedly, we tried to call Speaksaver to see at the bottom of it and we couldn't confirm the story.

Dan read the bottom line so well that he got a standing ovation from the staff. Speaksaver's everybody in Speaksaver's, all the staff, they're like, he's done it! And they got up and clapped me out of the store. What a stupid lie to make up. It was 40-40 vision.

Nobody, nobody. And then now, but now you have to get prescription glasses. Why would I make that up? Also, if you do- Max made a great point. If you read the bottom line correctly, why are you now getting prescription glasses? If you work at Speaks Savers, do you do that?

Do you do standing ovations for anyone that can read the bottom line? Or did you used to? Yeah. The final one this week is tricks to look good, sorry, trick to look muscly in knickers. Did you find out? That's almost impossible. With my body.

I will say this though, I am doing a paid post for Jocky coming up. And I was hoping that I could just like hold up the undies, but they want them on. Which is a nightmare. Are you going to wear the rashie or are you going full? That's a double use. Maybe I'll just fill the beach. Maybe I'll just put the rashie on top. We'll figure it out. You can do ten angles where you hide most of yourself.

Can you take the me? Yeah, I would love to take your photos. Yeah. All right, six things out. Thank you, Ash. That'll be your job in a couple weeks. Can't wait. Can't wait.

Don't do it, Dan's Google history. I'm gonna take you to my photos. You booed, wash-off. Clint, Megan, Dan. It's a coincidence, Dan. It's a coincidence baby Jessica joins us in studio to kick things off. We love a coincidental story on the show. Yeah, yeah. You never want to hype them up too much and be like, oh this is a good one, I've got a good one. But the problem is what I was trying to say before, I have a blocked up nose and no one understood what I was saying.

I meant no one's ever come in here and gone, I've got an amazing coincidence and it's lived up to it. Sad to Bella who literally did last week. Yeah it was a bit of a crap. And what about your mum and Clint? They were all pretty bad. I watched The Mask and The Bounty Hunter and they had the same villain and the lead characters were Milo. Shocking. I thought my mum's one was pretty good too but that's alright I'll let you know. And it was the way that Clint it was like it was the way you bought it and he was like, oh this is amazing! Sometimes being very cool. Yeah, I'm just trying to play it cool, because this could be a crapper. I think it's alright.

Okay. Okay, I'm going to take you right back. So when we were growing up, we lived at a beautiful house over in Torbay. And my parents were getting it renovated at the time time putting a new kitchen in it was great at the time My brother was and I were like set five and seven years old now the builder who was doing the kitchen renovation He was this young guy probably about I know like mid-20s early 30s kind of thing and his name was John And he was just this awesome like surfer. was cool we had these big blue eyes he wore like a you know singlet was the middle of summer and his stubbies and his tall belt and we just like we my brother and I would just like come home because we

just thought John was the man. Oh so you're like young guys and he's this really cool funny good looking like talented yeah awesome I get it. The thing that was great about John as well is that he had a new puppy. This cute little Labrador, black Labrador. And so we would rush home from school to take the Labrador over to the beach for a walk while John was working on the kitchen. And the dog was so cool. There's a little black lab called Billy. Anyway, so that was cool. Years later, when my wife and I met,

and we've been together for 15, 16 years now, I think. Yeah, yeah, long time. So I was taking my wife out on our first date, and I just bought a new car that day, and I went and picked her up in my new car. It was a brand new black Caldina. Sorry, not brand new, it was new to me, but it was a black Caldina, very cool. So I picked her up and she goes, oh yeah, this is cool.

This is cool. We were going out for dinner and she was like, oh, what are you going to call your new car? You got to give your car a name. And I was like, oh, I think I'm going to call it Billy, Billy Black. And she goes, oh, that's cool. Why are you going to call it Billy Black? And she goes, oh, well, I told the story. Oh, we had this builder and he had this dog and we loved it. And he waited. Long story. Yeah.

Pass off, Dad, I'm loving this. And she goes, oh, I knew a Black Lab called Billy. What was the builder's name? She goes, John. I said John. She goes, from Torbay, the builder, yeah, yeah, yeah. Black Lab, yeah. John's my uncle.

There was a connection there all along. So you ended up marrying your parents' builder's niece. Yeah. And I know that, but wouldn't you hear the story? Yeah. And on the first date he named the car after her uncle's dog. If you hadn't named the car, the story would never have come up. Yeah, we wouldn't have made the connection.

So now he's your Uncle John? That's right. Have you ever seen Uncle John again? Yeah, heaps. Is the dog still alive? No, not at all. John and I became mates and it was cool. Wow.

That's great, Dan. It's okay. I mean, it's not lighting the world of coincidence on fire. I think it's a great... Dan? That's okay! I mean it's not lighting the world of coincidence on fire, is it? I think it's a fantastic coincidence! You don't have to read that in a book and go, man... Imagine if when you were growing up, there was a builder at your house and you idolised the guy and then he becomes your uncle-in-law down the track. Yeah, 20 years down the track.

He'd more like the dog though. We like the dog, we like the uncle! Okay, big bad coincidence if you think you can. It was good, it was fine. Right, yeah. It's a coincidence baby. Yeah we like finding coincidences. Dan's probably the hardest to impress. We just had a great one from producer Carl.

But do you have a better one? Tom's called up. Oh, I hundred the edge. Morning Tom. Good morning, Meg, how are you? Oh, good morning, Tom. Oh, just saying hello to you. I love it, you saved my name. How are ya?

I'm very well, thank you. Oh, good, okay. Hey. Tom, take the floor as yours. Yeah, so my brother grew up with this guy in primary school and So my older brother and I'm best mates with his friend's younger brother. Oh, yeah, so weird how we met and we were chatting the other night about ancestry and

we discovered that we both have ancestors that were involved in the 1605 gunpowder plot with Guy Fawkes. How many people were involved with the gunpowder plot? Was there a few, or was it like six, a band of like small groups? Yeah, yeah. It was supposed to be a small group.

It was an uprising of hundreds of thousands of people. I'm pretty sure we're both like related to one of five. Oh, I think that's impressive. That means that in some way the world has brought them back together in fact. Yeah, it's an okay one. I mean, I'd have to fact check it because we're just going on Tom's word. Well, we go on everybody's word. Just at a quick Google, 13 people are involved.

So a little more than Tom said, but still not hundreds of thousands. 13 people out of the whole, and two of them are in it. Are any of you directly related to Guy, is it Guy Fawkes, eh? He was one of the guys that was involved in it. No, I don't think we're directly related to him. Right. Just each other. Yeah, one of the 13. Yeah, I'm happy with that. Tom, I'm going to send you a double pass

to our musty movie Megan Toots and Sinner is June 26th. Thank you, bro. Yeah. No dramas. Thanks for having me on. Thanks, Tom. See, Dan, this is why people don't say your name when you answer the phone. If you treat them like that. Tom only said yours, actually. I'm just wanting to hear him. Just one that blows us away. I don't think we've had him. Well, Grace has got that one here. Grace, blow us away with your coincidence. Here we go Hi, okay, so good morning

My mom when she was a child in the 60s was put into a orphanage and live in and Yeah, it was pretty sad. But anyways, um, she was put into this orphanage and she started taking care of this little girl. And the little girl, yeah, she'd get her breakfast, all these types of things. Anyways, fast forward 50 years later, and my mum decided to start nursing school. Okay. And she gets to nursing school in Auckland, sits down and who's sitting next to her but the little girl. 50 years later, the girl that she looked after in the orphanage is now studying in the same course,

at the same time, doing the same degree. Yeah. That's pretty good. And then our friends again. Wow. So what's the age difference between them? Four years. So the younger one was her, and my mum was older and would take care of her.

What an amazing change. I'd love to know how, they wouldn't have recognised each other, so I'd love to know how they would have clicked. That they were each other's person. Or maybe they talked about the orphanage. Oh, they talked about the orphanage and then yeah, they worked it out, they worked out the timing and then they were like, yeah, well I used to pour you breakfast every morning. This is crazy because how many people are right now walking around with somebody, they have some crazy coincidental tie-win-own,

but they haven't brought up the conversation yet to realise it. Yeah. Man. Clint, Meg and Dan win $10,000 right now with the Edge 10K. Team money. Team questions. They must start with the letter that Meg gives you.

Yeah, I think she did. I think that she was the number three. Ellie, no. We were looking for S words. Yeah. Not F words. Ellie, no. We were looking for S words. Yeah, not F words. Not F words. I'm sorry Ellie. Good game and another chance to play coming up at 3pm.

Thanks Ellie. Started so well. Clint, Meg and Dan. Postcode playlist. From the Tampa Cape Reagga down to the dirty deep south of Bluff, no town is safe. This is Dan's postcode playlist. Yeah, West Auckland got hit last week with Dan's original song.

Yeah, and we're putting together like a playlist for the whole country. So every place in New Zealand has a little bit of it, an original, completely original song for their town. This week, Rotorua. I've heard a little snippet, if you missed it this morning, he did a little tease. Fantastic stuff. Very, very different song to last week.

And we're not going to bleed it out and bleed it out, we're just going to play you some of the suggestions that people had to go on the song and we're into it. Mmm. This is some stuff that came through overnight. Honestly, I just think of meth. I just think of mud and bubbles. Bubbling mud.

Honestly, just smells like shit. I just think of all the speed bumps, like how can I get anywhere? Don't they still have a common co? Yeah, valentines as well, one of the few valentines left in the country. Other techs that came through, supermarket trolleys everywhere, strolling around North Darula. Oh wow, really, that's not selling it very well is it? Yeah, sadly Rainbow Springs, the jewel in the crown, that's closed.

Oh god, okay. Home of the mongrel mob. There's not one good thing so far. Maybe the common cold. No, they put hot water in the zorb. Yes, in the zorb. In the winter. Did you mention that the water's warm?

Cause I think people look at that as an attraction and go, oh no thanks, too cold. Yeah, also the Father's Day lady. She's from Rotorua. Oh. What day's Father's Day? This one. Oh.

Father's Day is on Sunday. Yeah. Reverse trivia, what do you think the question might be? Yeah, so duck poo is in all the lakes apparently. Yeah, but glass are full, beautiful ducks as well. Jason Momoa was spotted there. It's like his second home in New Zealand, isn't it? Rotorua.

Let's get into it. This is your song, Rotorua. Lyrics written by you. You're welcome. It's the home of the mongrel mom Hey, this is it It's a town that smells like shit Rainbow Springs was really lit But it closed when COVID hit Sam Cain, Jake the Moth Born in Rotorua

Lava Bar Is a bar in Rotorua Supermarket Trollies Everywhere in Rotorua Father's Day Lady She lives in Rotorua Father's Day lady, she lives in Rotorua Father's Day, Father's Day, Father's Day is on time Rotorua, on the station

What day? No, it's not It's Father's Day Rotorua, Father's Day, Father's Day What day? No, Roto-rua? Food, I'll tell you where to go Valentine's or Carbon Co Old abandoned hospital Where the crackheads like to go

It smells, this is true But the sulfur's good for you There's a lake with a view Shame it's filled with dark poo Chase and Momoa Were spotted in Rotorua Lots of speed bumps on roads in Rotorua Naked car wash no more in Rotorua

Wear your pajamas at the mall in Rotorua So there you go. I don't want to call it early but that could probably be one of the best things you've ever done. You're welcome Rotorua. I think you've found the single for your album and only your second record. Really? The first single? Oh yes, that is the lead single. I think even if you write another eight songs. You couldn't do better. You're always, we're always gonna be here. But remember Rotorua? I'm sorry if it's quite an ear worm,

like it gets stuck in your head that song. And I'm sorry if it does today. You never have to remember what you did when you wrote that. There was something, you hit something different then. I took some stuff. He's riddling back, so he's focused. Yeah, I needed to really focus. Okay, but Ruffell, fair enough. If you're from Rotorua, are you accepting of the anthem or are you rejecting Dan's anthem for your town?

That's the one problem I think we're going to face, Clint, is that it's a bloody catchy song, but there was nothing about the redwoods and the beautiful atmosphere and the people. Oh, there was lovely stuff about the lakes. Full of duck poo. Yeah. Okay. Postcode playlist. From the Tapa Cape Reinga down to the dirty deep south of Bluff, no town is safe.

This is Dan's Postcode playlist. This week an original song for the beautiful people of Rotorua. If you... What a place. If you've just tuned in, oh my god, you actually missed the best thing that happened on the show this morning. I'm gonna give you a little bit of a sneak peek and I think it probably deserves another spin after nine if you're still hanging around but this was just a tiny little bit of the two-minute song Dan recorded, the anthem for Rotorua.

Wear your pajamas at the mall in Rotorua! Rotorua! Ha ha! Rotorua! Ha ha! Rotorua! Ha ha! Rotorua! Rotorua! Rotorua! Rotorua! Rotorua! Rotorua! Now I wouldn't be surprised if the local government, the council on Rotorua, wanted to use that for their adverts and stuff but unfortunately Dan the lyrics, if you're a lyric listener like I am, ooo not so nice. Not so nice. Amazing melody. I think I included some positive stuff. What, one thing. Mungrel Mob.

Bunch of lovely guys, aren't they? All right, so we've got Charlene on our end of the year. Charlene's our first time caller. Aw, good morning. Hey Charlene, this is what took you to come out of the woodwork dance hall. Morning Charlene. Charlene, you grew up there.. Oh so you know. Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah and my parents are still there. So being from Rotorua, what were your thoughts on the song?

I thought it was really bang on. Okay. See? All right. I'm Stephen Bann, you're happy to hear it. All towns, even the best towns in the country have their dark underbellies, eh Charlene? And the mongrel mob, you give them a smile, they smile back I imagine, Charlene, under their helmets. My favourite bit was where they all wear the pyjamas to the mall, because they do. They do, and that was a suggestion from Alyssa? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So thank you. Thank you Charlene. Tomorrow, good morning.

Good morning Meg, how are you? Oh good morning tomorrow! Yeah, I. Good morning. Good morning, Meg. How are you? Good morning, Tamara. Yeah, I see your name. You did. I love it. Tamara, what did you think of the song? Well, firstly, I'm not a first-time caller, but I'm a P1, OK? OK, you're a long-time listener. OK. Got it, got it.

She knows the lingo. I love the song. The song was hilarious. There's a but coming. I think it has a lot more going for it, though. It's got the redwoods with its awesome treetop walk. The song was hilarious. There's a butt coming. But I do, I think it has a lot more going for it though. It's got the redwoods with its awesome treetop walk. You've got going up the gondolas to Stratosphere.

It's an awesome redwood. Well I mentioned the loos and the gondolas. I did, I did. Yeah, cool. We've got the covered eats street. It's a street that's covered. Yeah. They do markets on it.

And they've got, is that the street that's got the underfloor heating? Yeah, I didn't realise it was underfloor heating, but that is the street. I mean, it's not that amazing, but yeah, it's cool. Yeah, that's where all the homeless sleep at night. This is the warmest streets, Buzzy, from all the geothermal activity. Yeah. OK. And I don't live there, so I've just seen the touristy side.

I've also done the bunny golf. I've been to the spa. The waterfront park's cool. It is a great place. Tamara, where were you yesterday when we were taking like song inspo? Cause people were texting all this stuff in. I rang, I rang. I didn't get through. Oh yeah, there was so many people wanting to suggest stuff.

Unbelievable. Thank you Tamara. Okay, Laura, to put a bow on this for us, but Raff will fair enough, the anthem for Rotorua that Dan performed. Absolutely the best thing I've ever heard and completely made my... Best thing I've ever heard and completely made my... Best thing you've ever heard?!

Did you go to the hearing doctor yesterday and get news? They gave me like C-list to A-list. Wow, wow. I think they've actually already taken... Okay. Dan is an A-lister now in your eyes after that song. Up there with Brad Pitt.

It's up there, up there. You've got to stop getting on the bong before work Laura. More feedback coming in, thank you Laura. I would say nobody will be mistaken the location because it's said 5,000 times in the song. It's getting groove in the... Groove, oh yes. Or that was when Clint said baby girl, say it again. I think that was... Oh the baby girl. Yeah that's gross. No, not yourself Dan. Sorry about that.

Yeah a lot of people like it and people are suggesting places next Dan. So looks like you're going to get working on number three. Yeah, Mulberry coming through. Now sir. Yeah lots of places so next week we'll be back. Clint, Meg and Dan. I was in Labour while they were... If you've got a story to finish there, 0800 the edgegivers call.

Here's a couple that we got last week. He was playing Nintendo switch the whole time. I was in labor Actually went flat on him and he pulled the heart monitor to my baby You're kidding me! There's no way, there's no way, there's no way. My wife would not have the hell. No, Ava, why? My water's broke and I had to bring my husband. He was out at an all-back's game, like, watching it at a friend's house. I had to wait for him to have a nap while to recover from drinking beers.

Oh my god. I was in labour, in the middle of getting an epidural, so fully naked. Oh, yeah. My dad walks in, who I'm not close with and didn't know he was coming and was like, yelled out, has she not carved yet? And so it was real gross. And then the midwife was like,

hmm, hell no, and kicked him out. Do you know, that would probably be the closest to me trying to like, ride the schnoz on dad hit one right in the face what do you say when you want to punch someone? Just say punch them. Oh right punch them. Yeah. Dick them. Dick them that's cooler not one riding the schnoz. Lay them out. Yeah that would that would that would wind me up so much. The one that I think got me last week was the guy that brought his PlayStation. Yeah. No, his Xbox console.

Yeah, sorry, it was Xbox. His Xbox console to the hospital. Yeah. No, it was not like he was playing it at home while she's giving birth in a home birth. He literally brought it to the hospital and plugged it into some TV at the hospital. Yeah, yeah, that was crazy because I mean we thought like the Nintendo Switch apart from unplugging the baby monitor, not too bad. There's a lot of downtime sometimes. And the worst part about the Xbox console is that too bad, there's a lot of downtime sometimes. And the worst part about the Xbox console

is that he was actually in the hospital and then was bored, so then went home and got it. That's right. What if all of a sudden the baby arrives? Well, read a book. You know, also just read a, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, talk. Converse with your partner about the life

that you're about to, you know. If she's at the EP and she's asleep, then read a book. And they were still together. It's not like she was like, I'm leaving you after this. That was disgusting what you did. Okay, hey, well, Steph has a great story. It's the first time she's ever called us. For the first time.

Good morning, Steph. Oh, Steph, no, this is the kind of situation you don't really want to have a story for, but tell us what happened with your first baby. First baby, we were, was in labour all day, went to Christchurch. And then went into labor, but we had to park the car ages away because Christchurch women's isn't that great.

Yeah. No sense, Christchurch women's. But yes, the husband had to park two kilometers away. We went back. I was already at the hospital. He came back. We realized he forgot all the luggage and had to go back to the car, but we realized he forgot the keys. Then he had to come back to the car, but realised he forgot the keys,

then had to come back to get the keys, to go back to the luggage to come back. Oh God. Why? I'm annoyed. Yeah, cause he's forgetful. I'm annoyed. Oh yes, it was a high pressure situation.

At what point did you yell at him and be like, come on mate? No, I just felt so bad. It was really hot at the end of the day too and he was fully wrapped up in his jacket. You felt bad for him? Oh, that's amazing. Okay, so he's done the trip now about four or five times.

And he finally gets back. He hasn't missed the berth, has he? No, he hasn't. But then my water's broke and then it was all on. And then it was just a lot for him to take in. And then, what did I say in the text? How honest was I? Well, you did say, I can read, he fainted when I was given an episi... ...episodomy, which is when you get the snip-snap in your bit-bits. That sounds horrific in episiodomy. Yeah, it's not fun.

And I think the noise of the flesh being cut really sent him over the edge in the way he went. Oh my goodness. Wait, I'm just trying to... I think I'm realising what the snip-snap thing is. Snap-snap on your bit-bits. Like if... If the baby's stuck, they have to get it out somehow, Clint. And they won't take it out the sunroof because it's too late. They can't because it's already too late. You're half out, so you've got to cut them out. It goes from two holes to one, basically. Oh, Steph, you're a warrior, my darling. Oh, that's what John Legend's wife...

Yeah, she had a vajasal. Yeah. I was going to use the word, but she did coin a phrase that yes, Meg has since repeated. It's very common. They tell you about it in Antinatal. And also with epi-episiotomies, as horrible as that sounds, because I don't want to scare anyone too much, you can have painkillers and epidurals with it.

But also, it's a lot better to have it that way than ripped, because then it's a neither wound that you can stitch versus being ripped. So in any case... Oh look, Sharon Bray used to work here, literally just takes better to snip than let it rip. Yeah, exactly. Oh my god. Honestly, the population would be... well, I reckon there'd probably be like a million people in the world with guys. Oh my god, I couldn't.

It'd be like that TV show, The 100. One time I got kicked in the balls and I think it's a similar sort of pain. Shut up. I do like the things from Kayla. My husband told me mid-push that I looked like a Christmas turkey. Inside thought. Inside thought. Okay, I was in labour while they were what? If you've got a story, it never ceases to amaze us that these stories keep coming through. We're going to need to put together a second book. Poor girls.

Because I can kind of see it. Now our boss Casey, at least for one more day, joins us in studio this morning. Good morning. It's a sad day. It is a sad day. Yeah, we love you, Case. Do you guys have any leave or anything that you want signed off? Oh, yeah.

You know when Trump signed off all those executive orders, like, I can just sit at my desk today and sign some shit off. Yes, I love that. How long have you been the boss at the Edge? Five, six years? Five years. Five years. Five years. And man, we've been assholes too, yeah. You've, I mean, you went through like COVID

and like major personalities leaving The Edge and doing rebuilds. You had, I think you had a rough five years. Oh yeah, no, it's been a bit on. Yeah. But everyone went through, you know, COVID and everything. We all went through that stuff together. But you also went through some other stuff

that you didn't ask for. And we're gonna look back at some of that. I don't even know why Edge Afternoons were at your house chopping down trees that they didn't have permission to chop. I can't remember. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, was actually when Sharon left. And back when she'd first started, she did a prank where she wouldn't have had to chop someone's tree down. So when she left, the guy was floating in and she chopped down a tree right at my front door, which is still just a stump. Nice. You're not a huge fan of fireworks.

And so on Guy Fawkes' morning at about 10 past six, it was still dark. Dan was outside your place and decided to give you your own private show. It's lit. Oh my god, Jesus it's really loud. Oh god, there it goes, can you hear that? Oh my god. Honestly, that also doesn't represent how loud that was. That woke up the neighbourhood. I got messages from people like five doors along being like, what happened?

I thought it was going to cause the house to catch fire. It was like everywhere all over the front of his house. There's another mark on the house. There is still a black burn mark on the front of the house. This one you might have to guess. This is something that we suggested happen on air and off air. Or maybe it was, it could have been off air and on air. We wanted your opinion on whether you were happy

to let it happen or not. This is your reaction. Let's see if you remember what the request was. I know so instantly what it was. Oh, that's f***ing disgusting. Exactly. But he says he's gonna swallow it like a pillow. I've never said anything.

No, it's not what I thought it was. Oh. But I do know what it was. That was recent, yeah? It was like last year-ish I think. Was it not when Kyle made the contraption? No, not that it was the fart tasted $5,000. No, that's when we cut off Clint's mull when Dan was coming down. Meg was like, once we cut off Clint's mull what are we doing? He was going to pop it like a bill.

Swallow it. Okay and then there's one last piece of audio. A lot of highs, there's the odd lows, and sometimes in this job with so many creative minds is gonna be creative differences. Anything that's f***ing low. Do anything else, this is the f***ing one thing. Are you kidding? We're f***ing changing the playlist

on Friday for the whole show. I can't believe we're even having the question and that you're arguing with me about it. I've put my foot down. Move on! He only put his foot down one time and that was when Meg tried to change the music in case he was very passionate about it. We were like, Meg, we can't. It was not what the hell happened. I was faced out on the floor during that whole fight because I couldn't handle the confrontation.

It was off the air. You found the moment that I was the most fired up. I love the bit where he said, I'm putting my foot down and he stabbed us in the face. You can hear the song. Literally put my foot down. A lot of admiration and a lot of respect for you Casey and the job as well. I mean it's hard to wrangle all of us Edgies at the best of times and you've done a phenomenal job and you've been a great boss and also a great friend to a lot of us as well, which is a really hard situation to try and balance, I think. And you've done it amazingly well. And I think a lot of people, when they start a job, especially as a boss,

they want to leave the place in a better place than when they started. And you've done that exact thing. I think everybody loves you so much here. Well, that was because you weren't on air when Casey was here. So you would say that. Yeah. Makes one good call. Thanks for hiring me.

I appreciate it guys. It's actually a real privilege to get to do a job like this. And one of the big privileges is that you get to pick your colleagues. You genuinely get to pick the people that you come and work with every day. So I've been fortunate enough to pick a great bunch of people. And the good thing is, the person that's taking over from you is a real prick. So no matter what, you're always amazing. You're gonna be the favourite. Alright, we'll take a quick break.

Back in three minutes with our throwback threesome. And we look forward to partying with you, Casey, after the show. We've got a little surprise. It's gonna be a lot of fun this morning. Yeah. Alright. Holy shit. You made it the whole way through.
