This is a podcast from Rover. Welcome to the podcast equivalent of a you-up text. Messy, slightly regrettable, but you'll still come back for more. This is the Clint Megindan podcast. Clint Megindan with Ash London, The Edge Brecky. It's harder in Auckland. Kiyahua, good morning. There's Wednesday, 6 a.m. baby.

Hop day. 12 days to go. 12. Early mornings. Oh, that's Matt. That means we can start the 12 days of Christmas. Whatever that is. You know how there's the...

So usually we give away 12 prizes. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. 13. Yeah, but we're going to count today. We're already up. Oh, you're right. 12. 10 for me.

Just remind him. It's back next week for two days. No one gives a crap about the two days you've got off Ash. All right? We're all working through like a couple of dogs. Yeah. Diggin' digger the dogs. Hey, we've got 500 bucks to give away thanks to Body Armor Lights.

What is your rev-up track that we can get on the show for everybody getting going on a Wednesday? And we'll sue you out with a Body Armour Light, rapid hydration. Prize back to live life loud.

Andre suggested the Eagles, Hotel California. You need the sound, Andre. The sound is the station for you if you wanted to hear that song. I do love that song, though. It is a great song. I just think it's probably not the vibe in terms of, like, revving everyone up. Oh, and Emily.

Rolling. Limp biscuit. Keep rolling, rolling, rolling. I mean, that could do it. That was a hell of a song. The drummer from Limpisket die, basically. R-I-P. I just don't know.

It's not really pumping me up. You're on the edge. It's Hotel California from 1976. And you're on the edge. It's Hotel California from 1976. Coming up, next to a great set from Spandau Ballet. Right now. Why is Mark Hoski working on the breeze?

He's gone downhill. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, uphill, you mean? Yeah, true. I don't think they're like... Yeah, the British is killing it. The biggest station in the country. News talk as he'd be. Clint, Meg and Dan.

Oh, my gosh. We're looking for your body armor lights. Rev-up track, rapid hydration to live life loud. And we'll saw you out with $500 cash as well. If you pick the right song that we think deserves to be on the air. And you know what? There's some great suggestions coming through this morning, guys. Should we go straight to the phones?

Do it, darling. Terina, is that how you say it? Yeah. Yeah, morning, Tarina from Christchurch. What's your suggestion? We won't meet you. An absolute banger and a classic for the ages. May he rest in peace.

His best song as well. Absolutely. A great suggestion from you, Terini. You've got a good taste. Nick Jonas does a good level song too, actually. Of course, you bring it back to it. Bloody. I do love this song, though.

Thanks, Farita. Obviously, we'll play the Avechi version. Our old mate Smelly Holes, Smelly Hole's called Smelly Ho! Smellie Ho! Morena! How are you, my darling? Oh, look, couldn't be better for speaking to you guys, you know what I mean? We're the same. We're the same.

Always a good time. What's the song that's going to get you revved up on a Wednesday? day. In sync. Bye, bye, bye, bye. Oh, baby, bye, bye, bye. Oh, yeah. That's all.

Now you're speaking to our. She knows us. She knows us in our soul. She knows our body, heart, a soul, mind. She says a boy band. Yes, yes, Babs. And we love you, Shelly. We've got to go to one more person,

and that one last person is the girl that's called through every day this week and last week. Not yet has she pulled us across the line with a great song. We have said, Alex, you've got to do what Smelly Hole did and speak to our souls. Morning, Alex. Don't just choose the song that you want to hear. Good morning. Now, how you're feeling you've been a bit down the last couple of mornings?

Yes. I have. I've hardly slipped last night. It's kicked me up. Okay. Okay. Please, God. I think I've done it today.

Okay. $500 you'll get if you get the right song. What is the suggestion? We're going for five. Everybody get up. I don't even think I'm standing up Alex I'm trying to make it I'm trying to make it

I'm not even in our now I don't even in our now that's what we'll get the guys go Five are a great band Yes They're not even in our now that's what I call knockout Throwbacks are they Stop fucking. I like to get on us when you're down, baby.

Is Ellen? She was in the wrong five songs? I'll take any five songs, really. I mean, it's between Shelley or Smelly, as I like to call her, and Alex. Look, Smelly's done the hard yards over the year. She's getting involved with the show every day, whereas Alex, I mean, Alex is loose the sleep over this. I think Alex deserves a good night's sleep. Tonight, I think it's time to put this baby to rest.

Give her the 500, you play some five and let her go back to bed. Alex, $500 is yours. Congratulations. Hey, thanks guys. Shalian, Taranii, you can call back tomorrow, give it another bash. Yeah, what are you up in? I'll talk to you in the morning. Yeah, what are you up in about for, Alex?

It's a great way to start. It's what people deserve. Yeah. And I think the people that are up early with us are the ones that should be rewarded. Absolutely. One of these 830 people are just, you know. Love those guys. We love everyone who listens, obviously.

exciting day today, not only does Megan Markle's new, is it like, documentary or show drop. Festive myth, Megan or something? Why are we even worrying about that? Shut you. Also. Dan Weave's birthday. It pisses me off that Markle's bloody releasing her thing today as well. What about Diddy?

Diddy's also got a docker coming out. Does he go with that instead? Yeah, they're both not going to go high on my Christmas list. Who would you rather have Christmas lunch with Megan Markle or Diddy in jail? In this case, Ash, I'd have to go with Megan. Yeah, you know, I'd hang on this next track. But it's a bloody tricky choice. You'd still have to think about it for a few seconds.

She'd make you, she'd bring you some jam. Yeah, but I've had her jam before and it's not the greatest. Okay, fair enough. Like I've had a lovely jam, the barker's jam. I'd like to hang out with her just to see if she's as prim and proper in real life. Or after a couple rosé, she's like, oh my God, such a bollack. I've got to shoot that Netflix show tomorrow. I'm going to fart.

Who knows? If she was like that, I think I'd. respect her more. You know, if she was actually more real and a bit of a laugh. Happy birthday, darling. Thanks, guys. You're so lucky to be your friend.

Yeah, and I'm like lucky to be here and be in the midst of you too and every listener. Are you going to get a bit of birthday sex, do you think? Yeah, I think I might. On the cards. Well, try my shot, Ash, like I do every day. Good luck, good luck.

Give it a bash and see how we go. Don't we? Don't we all? Oh, the beautiful lights coming in the studio just in time for your birthday. Oh, beautiful. It's so weird. There's been like this massive weather warning, like a 10-hour weather warning from 8 a.m for Northern and Auckland, saying that they're expecting marble-sized hail, mini tornadoes. I was like, what? The last time I experienced that sort of hail was in Australia, your neck of the woods, ash, and it smashed the windscreen of our rental car.

Yeah, we get crazy hail at Australia. Yeah, like really big, like mini golf ball size. Will they insure, like, vehicles and stuff when it dents all your... I don't know, that's a great question, but I remember once about 10 years ago, We had such a crazy hailstorm that, like, thousands of cars were ruined. And it was like, and all the insurances, like, oh, actually, the panel be, you couldn't get into a panel beater for like six months. Nightmare.

It was so bad. Yeah. I know that it's going to be bad weather where we've got friends that have just sold up their house completely and purchased a yacht. And it's like, they've saved money. Like, it's cheaper. And they, like, live, it's like a small yacht, but they live in it and live on a mooring in Auckland. And they, on the weekends, just sail around.

But they've had to moor up because they're like, we're nervous. about this weather. What do they have jobs like during like the week? Yeah they just like it's just like a house they like have a mooring and like I think

over the north shore of Auckland and they just drive to work so still got cars but they just use instead of having a house they live on the boat crazy that's so cool yeah

but they love that is their thing they kind of love I think you'd love it until about day three when you're just hearing that sloshing against like you know the water against the hull

all the time and the rocking and then you just in each other's space all the time You're like, excuse me, excuse me. I'm in his age dream when he like goes to do a poo. I'm like, come back.

God, he must be gone. He's been so long. He just sits there. I'm like, you're going to get hemorrhoids. Trust me. He's like, no, but I just need to just reprieve from you for just five. And that's fair enough. Anything.

Even if it's a crap, I'll do it just to get away. All right, coming up next, first call of the day, which isn't not really our first call anymore, is it now? this rev-up track and everyone trying to score 500 bucks at the top of the show. Hey, but what better prize is it than to talk to Ash London? Yeah, mate. And Dan on his birthday? Yeah, I wish him a happy birthday. Yeah, give us a call. Yeah.

And we'll find out before 7 as well, New Zealand's horniest town. The stats are being released for like all those crazy things before the end of 2025. It's wherever Clint's living usually. Clint, Meg and Dan. Lesh goal! First call of the day! First call of the day!

Too lazy to change the intro. Yeah, you know what? Because we give away. No one's lazy on this show. Take it back. Well, producers, why didn't we change it to fourth caller of the day? That's a waste of resource. Don't answer, boys, I'll answer for you. Yeah, if that I don't even listening. Look how gorgeous, say that with all the light.

I know I'm obsessed with the light coming into the studio for four minutes a morning. No one else can see. Morning, Will, from Masterton. Morning, how are you? Yeah, how's the beautiful Masterton this morning? Yeah, beautiful. It's teeing down with rain at the moment. Oh, no.

Which is a very rare occurrence in Masterton, obviously. Is it? I don't know. Where's Masterson, Dan? What's it near? Is it near Belcluther? I honestly don't know what the hell that is. Okay, well, probably not.

Probably. Yeah. I haven't been to Masterton before. Do you leave near Hanley Lake, Will? Yes. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, near Henley Lake. I've always said that would have been what I'd said next.

Oh, be all he knows? We did a radio show there once. Maybe it was the previous show I was done from Marston, and the radio studios there were lovely. Just a little studio there That would be a nice life, wouldn't it? What's the most exciting thing that's going to happen to in the next week? Oh, oh, damn.

He's like, hopefully it'll stop raining. Yeah, that'll be a good start. Yeah, that's a good one. We'll be finishing a job at the end of the week. We'll take that. What kind of work do you do, darling? Painter Decorator. Oh, cool.

You're a handy person to be friends with. Oh, geez, so you're going to be quiet today then, if it's raining. Unless you're doing inside stuff. Yeah, interior work. Hey, what's the most popular white at the moment that everyone's going with? Ooh. Probably alabaster. Alabaster?

You said, you told it. Still alabaster, eh? Ironically, black white was another goodie. Well, how often are you, like, you know, you'd be a good friend to have, like I said before. How often you're getting mates going, hey, well, do you want to come over and do a bit of handywork around at my place? so obviously pay you, but then they're hoping that you'll go, nah, don't worry about it.

You're a friend. No, I've actually got a little job to do with my mate's house tonight. I knew he would. That's so annoying. That's the sort of guy you are. We're going to sort you out with a voucher to go spend in store a Z, mate. So if you haven't sorted yourself out at lunch, you can swing by a Z and pick something up on the way through.

Chill vibes are a Z with their new range of barista-made chill drinks. Good on you, Will. Get amongst that. Thanks, bro. Scandal next, Ash, your favourite segment. Ash loves researching. We were going to drop it. And Ash was like, no.

It's sexist that I have to do it, even though you guys do all the other segments, definitely. And I did a scandal yesterday. Yeah, because I was done. And so you should be. But it is your birthday, though, so I guess I should pick up some slack. All right, Mom on it, boys.

It's amazing, actually. Much like Meg, how quickly Ash and me can find stories in, like, one song. That's what women do. Yeah, like when you've got a deadline and you've got to get it done, you get it done. I got a lovely text from my mum just then about my birthday. She said, happy birthday, my gorgeous boy. I hope you have a wonderful day and I'll see you later to celebrate. Love you, Mum.

Do you know what's funny, though? Our mum's do all the work and we get the credit for the birthday. You know what I mean? Your mum carried you, birthed you, put her body on the line, probably sacrificed her career, was pretty much a single mum and everyone's celebrating you. I was an easy breath. She just said I just slipped out.

She just went, and I was out. And I just went, yeah. And I just went, yeah. So I think it was fine. She's always said, it was my brother that was the issue. We love you, Julie. Love you to bits. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.

Clit Meg and Dan with Ash London scandal. All thanks, Woolworths have entered the final countdown to the final countdown. Very clever. As if you wouldn't use that song. Liam Lawson, the Kiwi superstar, will remain on. On the Formula One grid in 2026, Red Bull have confirmed, which is great news. Because there was some speculation that, you know, it's always a possibility that he may have lost his seat. So he drives a racing bulls, which is like Red Bulls' partner.

Yeah, it's the junior team. Yeah, like the feeder team. Is that sick? Because every brand has two cars. So Red Bull's got two cars. Max Verstappen, one of the greatest. Yeah. Everyone who's been in that second seat lately, it's a bit of curse, right?

So Liam went in, it wasn't good. Then the old Sonoda went in. And now he's not even racing at all in Formula One here. I do dismiss when it was just Checo and Max. But has it been a poison chalice for even Sergio Pira's, as you say, Checo? He's a great driver and has been in Formula One for 15 years. But even he couldn't keep up with Max. Whoever sat in that year, it feels like it's been like caress suicide.

It has. Yeah, but he's still making money. The thing is next year, so if you don't follow Formula One, you just kind of see it in the news. it's a completely new set of regulations next year so the cars are going to be smaller less aerow much easier to overtake and pass next year so it's going to be kind of like reset

next year so hopefully the person in that second red bull seat will be on a more even keel to Max Verstappen and it looks great as well I think for Liam Lawson who has been in the championship for a year now he's got the experience hopefully next year he can start really having some good results absolutely it's really exciting Pam and as Kiwis we should all be well not

week, because I'm not a Kiwi, I go for Oxford Piastri, but we should all be cheering him on. Yeah. It's the final race of the season this weekend. Where is the final one? Abu Dhabi. And what day? On Sunday.

Well, it'll be Monday morning New Zealand time. Oh, so we'll be working. So it's between... It'd be the old one eye on the screen, one eye on the radio show. It's the first time in about 10 years that three drivers have gone into the final race of the season and could win it. So it's between Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. Imagine how good the drive to survive season's going to be next year.

I know, we just have to wait a whole year. Oh, I can't wait. I'm so excited. We had Liam Lawson's mom on earlier this year. So I don't know if she's still listening or if the word gets back. We're very proud of your son. We love you. We love you, your boy.

It's awesome. Your boy. All the stats are coming out for the winners and losers of 2025. The latest stats have come out for New Zealand's hornyest town. Where do you think it is? Place your pets 3-3-4-3. It's just your house. Wherever Clint lives, usually it's there.

We spent a lot of time, this year. First person to guess, right, I'll send you out a double pass to our must-see movie. Does it correlate to the town with the most gonorrhea? You know how that list comes out every year as well? I think generally it's the town that spends the most money on adult toys. That's how they work it out. Per capita.

Fangere, last time I heard. Fangere's, yeah, Fangare's at the ground. Clint Meg and Dan. Stinky boo. Time to get naughty at 640. All right, adult toy megastoy has released all of the Ocadale. stats from different purchases that they have shipped out over the year. They haven't released these publicly, clinched just a VIP,

and he gets all these stats just said to him. Can I tell one quick story? Yeah, go on. I just remember this. A couple of years ago, maybe 15 years ago, I worked in a media company, and there was a girl in sales sat in our pod, and she got made redundant, so she left. Poor thing.

And because you work in sales, a lot of your sales, leads, emails come through, and they just get forwarded off to another person in your team. Oh, no, see where this is going. So she's been off for about a week and we're all sitting around and Scott goes, oh, I'm like, well, he's like, I just got a, and back then it was like Big Pond movies, Telstra Big Pond in Australia. So it's like if you rented a movie via your Telstra account, it would send a receipt.

She'd been at home and she'd be bored. She's like, oh, my. Hasn't got a job. She's got a job. I might download some. It was one of those like women's, like a, pretty much porn, but with a plot. You know, so it's like a, it's like a smutty book, but in a movie. That's what girls love, a bit of story.

We love it. We love, exactly. We're coming along with a ride. So, like, we're like, okay, more power to her. She's enjoying her time off. And it was like a, I think we looked at, was like a 40-minute episode. 45 minutes later, he gets another email. Oh, she's bought another one.

And so the next, like, three weeks. Every day you would find out what this person was at home, and we were like. Oh, my God. In 45 minutes, that is a long game. Dying. My God. But there was lots of plot as well, she was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stuff the plot.

Anyway, continue. Well, the biggest buyers of sex toys overall, Canterbury, congratulations. You take out the award. Well done, guys. Nothing to be ashamed of there, Canterbury. No, I have there. In Tasman, you win the hands-on hero award, buying the least amount of products going with a more DIY approach.

I respect it. Good on you, Jasmine. Should I leave the pumped-up award until the end? Oh, I was going to leave that out. Which is the biggest buyers of penis pumps? They're not a real thing, I have. A Swedish and made penis allege. It's not my baby, I'm sorry.

Oh no, let's just get into it. Mulbra, they're the ones who are spending the most money. You're right. Who's buying them? People in Mulbra? The pumped up award. I mean, let us know if you live in Mulbra and you're like, yeah, that checks out, actually. 3-3-4-3.

The capital that bought the most lube was the Waikato. And the people who won the Friction Award buying the least amount of lube is Northland. Okay, sometimes you've got to work with what you got, you know? Yes, I guess so. Diversity Award went to Auckland, not winning any particular category, but the most diverse range of products. Just having to block my line of vision

so I can't see what Dan is doing. The Kink Capital was Wellington, congratulations. Yeah, it checks out. Yeah, a lot of the stuff that you tend to hide from everyone when you go into the counter, I imagine. You're not holding it high above your head. You kind of almost look like your shoplifting. I like the, they release all these.

stats. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Good on you. Absolutely not. Leather collars, products like whips, cuffs going to the Hawks Bay. They won the Dominatrix Award. And the Fresh and Clean Award went to the Manawatu. The most feminine hygiene products purchased from

throughout the country. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there you go. To each their own in a judgment-free zone. Enjoy your... I know. Yeah, good on you. Enjoy your life in whichever way you see. You know what? Get those sort of gifts for Christmas. under the Christmas tree ho. Who cares of grandma's

around when you open it? She won't know what it is. I love it. The Cirque de Soleil Award Gisbon. Okay, still going. Looking at you guys. I tried to wrap it up nicely. For swings and poles. Gisbon, hey? Gisbon. I see you. I see you. Good on you. If you're in Gisbet, you've got a pole somewhere in your house, give us a call. I went under the edge.

I've always wanted a two-story house where you have some stairs, but then just a pole is another option just to slide down. My friend Sally Sherwin had that. Fireman pole that went from like the second floor into the middle of the living room. That's cool. So random. Clint McGintan.

Somba Undress, played at the Auckland Town Hall. Massive cue from like 7 o'clock. So I'm not sure who was opening, but people were obviously very keen to get their alley and see. Maybe they want to get up the front so he sees them. And then they can... True. Big a love in a hotel with a famous guy.

Yeah, well, after they've signed the NDA and dropped off the phone into the little box. I went to Lewis Capaldi last night. It was fantastic. His voice was phenomenal. And after his mental health battles, he came out on stage and the love and support, you could just feel emanating from people. Like, everyone was just so happy he was there.

Was he funny? Because I hear he's just so, so funny on stage. So he did, like, five songs without saying anything. He just got the songs done. And then he, like, chatted. And because it's the start of his tour, but he started in Christchurch as the first. So he hadn't had his stage band worked out yet. So he was just, like, riffing.

It was so funny. Yeah, he's a lovely man. But anyway Google history Isn't sexy Isn't weird Well it's all A great big mystery

What's just something new to fear Everyone's favorite time of the week Where you hand over your phone I get to go through your browsing history And ask some questions Maybe I'll be able to explain anything Chafed bum cream

Bugger I'm hoping this is for George Torchy He's had a little bit of a chafey little chuff I don't know what he's But that's just a baby thing Isn't that when you don't change their nappies quick enough and then they're sitting in a wet nappies?

You know what I think it is? I think we put too much creams on. Hannah's a big cream person so she's got like seven different creams and I'm just like I feel like we've overdone the cream stuff I feel like my wife would be like did you change the nappy? I'm like yeah and then she'd be like no look you've left it on too long. I pride myself

on my name I can do a nappy change in about 30 seconds. Worst napi like explosion give it to me. Yeah I'll just let him maybe his nappy off after he's on a wee or poo just give him 10 minutes Yeah. Like, I think I thought I would hate changing nappies way more than I do. I'm like, I actually kind of enjoy it.

Yeah, it's easy for me. Yeah. Okay, cheap, sucky vacuum and then vacuum with best suction. You have been on a bit of a vacuum thing later. We have, because we've got a vacuum that's given up the go. So we're looking into a robotic one. Now, we've never had a robotic one before. But there's so many Black Friday sales on at the moment.

It's hard to let them go. You can't miss, but some of them are doing different things. Some of them go around. are going to get a robot one. You're unrelatable. No, that is, it is relatable because everyone loves a robot vacuum. And you know what? Everyone loves one, but doesn't mean anyone buys one.

I don't know. One other person in my life now has one of those. You know what? They've come down so much in price now. Anyone can afford them. So yeah, go, go out and get a black friday. Are my eyes too close together? I'm telling. I was looking in the mirror. Too bad if they are now.

What if Google say, yes, they are. I've been doing a little bit of self-refection lately after I was again voted ugliest on the show according to science last week. But the best personality? Well, I don't know. We haven't actually done that test

officially. Go along with that, okay, I think I lost that last time we did the personality test as well. But no, it turns out my eyes it's my nose to mouth that are a bit too close. I think you've got a beautiful face, darling.

Thank you. Don't worry about that. And then average foot size men. So not only you're worried about your eyes being too close together, but your feet are two small because you've got very big feet. I do find it hard to find shoes

because I've got quite a large foot, 13. Meg doesn't believe me. Every time I go, like, sometimes we get to sent shoes or footwear and I'll be like, oh, size 13 for me. And Meg will be like, stop lying. And I'll be like, why would I lie about the size of a McDonald's shoes? It's like rattling around in all of his shoes for some weird flex?

No. Why would I do that? I'm size 13 and I can't help them. Is the legend true? Absolutely not. Absolutely. Of anything, it's the opposite. I reckon you'd be a shower, though. Are you honest? Say you're a shower?

I mean, a grower? Hannah does say I'm a shower. I mean, a grower, yeah, yeah. And God help me, if I wasn't. All right, next up. Minimum IQ for police officer. How long trained to be police officer, police salary, and Z. You're thinking about leaving us style?

No, no, no. I was looking for a friend that was looking at going in. He's earning about $180,000 a year. What are you waiting for? The police place is just next door to our station Yeah, it's just down the road Yeah, but he, I said to him I was like, I don't think you should do it

It's way less than what you're earning. Really? What he's earning more than 180 now? Yeah. Any, and he's like, So I was like, why would you even do it? But apparently they, police officers only, like they have four days on, three days off.

I'll take that. The four days on could be quite full on. I'm going to be a dog handler. I think that'd be fun. That would be cool. Hang in out with your mate. Oh, yeah. Everyone loves you.

Yeah, we used to live next door to a dog handler at our old place. And he was such a cool guy. Like, so lovely. You always take his dog for a walk. They were best mates. Love that. Yeah, cool job. And then finally, is it cheaper to live on a boat than a house?

Two-bedroom boat for sale, cheap Auckland mooring. Listen, Dan, Google History. Isn't sexy, isn't weird. Will it's all great big mystery. But just something new. It's the same friends, actually. They've just sold up their house and brought a boat. Dan wants their life.

I do. I want their life. They don't go. He's living on a boat. They go out on the weekends, they sold their house. They've got more money now because they sold their house. Look into it. If you've got a mortgage now and you're like, I hate living in my house.

Buy a boat. If you're like, man, this house doesn't rock enough. Yeah. I was something that moves more and gives me a bit of like... You're not building equity because there's no land. You know, a house should double in value in 10 to 15 years. A boat's going to go down in value. But think of the downside.

And we're here to have fun. That's exactly right. Clint, Meg and Dan. The Edge. A.E. Z. Money. Practice makes perfect. And now you can play anytime online. One past seven, good morning. A thousand dollars a grand in the hand

if you can give us 10 answers in 30 seconds. If you freak out, you can pass. We'll come back if we've got time but no repeated answers. And joining us on the phone, one of my favorite people in terms of jobs. I love ambulance officers. I think they're so undervalued. You're amazing. You do incredible work. Jackson, good morning. Good morning.

Morning, mate. When was the last time you saved the life? Every day. Be last night. I'm just coming off night shift now. How cool is that, though? I take my hat off to you guys. You go to some traumatic events

and you go back and time and time again. I mean, like in our job, honestly, when we make mistakes and things don't go wrong, we go, oh mate, we're not saving lives. Don't worry about it. I mean, you don't have that excuse in yours because you literally are doing that. So thanks, Jackson. Appreciate your service, bro.

Thank you. All right. He wants to put it towards a well-earned holiday. Jackson, oh my goodness, it's a sign. Your letter today is J for Jackson. Let's do this. Good luck, brother. Okay.

First one to start with, can I have a boy's name? Jackson. Something sweet. Jelly bean. A country. Jamaica. A band. A pub.

I'm thinking of my dog, but I don't start with Jay. Oh, what's your dog? I've got a bulldog, a sharp A and a schnauzer Oh, little dittles That's so cool Now Jackson, one question for you I've always wanted to know How fun is it to be driving the ambulance with the sirens on?

Oh, it's a bloody hoot I bet it is Is that the main reason you got into ambulancing Just to drive the ambulance with the sirens on? Oh, no comment No, yeah Good on you, darling, thank you so much For all your hard work, we love you

And thanks for listening to The Edge, brother Hey, cheers, cheers, thanks for you Mate, jeez, Jackson. All right, we will give you another cracker coming up at 8 o'clock this morning. All thanks to Novice Glass, proud partner of the Special Olympics, NZ. Clint, Megan Dan.

Tomorrow on the show, she's going to be a little bit different. We're raising as much money as we can for the kindness collective that run the Christmas Joy Store they have for the last 12 years. And it is a store filled with presents and food

where families can go through free of charge. They get nominated, and they get to go through and fill their trolleys with presents for their children and food for the table through donations from members of the public like yourself. It's just the best. Like I think this is like of any charity to give to it at Christmas time, this is the one to do it with.

You know, like I feel like they're doing such amazing work for people that otherwise wouldn't have a Christmas. And I know Clint, you're a very humble person, but this is a thing that's very close to your heart, isn't it? You've worked with them for many years. Yeah, I stumbled across it a few years back. I think when you get to see, like tangibly see the difference that's being made, the back end as well with the warehouse and the shells being stocked and you see parents going through almost in tears because they're just overwhelmed by the fact that they're able to put presents under their tree and it cost them nothing.

I think it's $20, that's the donation that allows a parent to get three presents for their child. But then, of course, some families have four, five, six kids. And it's not just gifts as well, they do food. So not only do they give the kids gifts under the tree, but they sought Christmas lunch, Christmas dinner, so a family can actually have a Christmas. Yeah, it's really cool. So even though they see 240 families a day

over the course of the next month, there are still so many people that are just sitting on the waiting list waiting to get the email that they're off the waiting list because enough donations have come in. So tomorrow on the show, we're going to try and get as many kids off the wait list before Christmas as possible.

We're calling it every call at Gibbs. We usually do every call of wins, but this time it's our chance to give back. So, if you've got anything, even if it's $2, $5, the price of your coffee tomorrow morning, $20. That's a good way to look at it down. You know, yeah. Give up your coffee and just donate five bucks. I went to a Christmas carol last night at the Civic, and maybe you know the story about Chris. Scrooge.

Yes, Mr. Scrooge and of Christmas past and prison, whatever. And he's very, very stingy, and at the end, he realizes that it actually is so much more. exciting and great to be able to give at Christmas time and enrich people's lives and it was this really cool message where you felt like the whole civic in Auckland just like you could so it feels everyone's smiling

like at the end when you can see that Mr Scrooge changes and he starts giving his money away and he's so excited because he's now leaving a legacy rather than being this guy that died that nobody cared about and I think we're guilty of like we're very privileged in this job and a lot of people listening are probably quite privileged as well, but there's people out there

that Christmas is the worst time of year. They don't have anybody. Imagine that, eh? If that isn't you, imagine that, knowing how stressful and anxious you could be in the lead-up. You know, it's into worrying about putting a prison under the tree for your kids. And this is our chance to make Christmas good for them.

So, we are going to chat with Mel next, whose daughter heard us talking about it actually earlier this week. If you can't be inspired by her seven-year-old daughter, I don't think anything's going to get you going. But tomorrow we're going to try to raise as much money as we can, get as many kids off that wait list before Christmas.

If you want to get involved, you can give to 3343 as the bounce back. But like Ashke you said earlier this week, chat with your partner or whatever. If that's what you need to do, have to think about it, see what you can give. And let's see if we can raise an overwhelming amount of money for the Joy Store. How cool would that be? Tomorrow we're going to try to raise as much money as we can to get kids off a waiting list so that their parents can enter

what is the Christmas joy store and parents can pick up free gifts and food for Christmas time because of the generosity of others around New Zealand that have donated and we have had a lot of people reach out tomorrow we're going to hear from mums and dads who have gone through

the Christmas joy store before and have been blessed because of the giving of others from what I understand Clint you've been there numerous times it's a magical place isn't it so well organised well actually we're going to go after the show today and we'll shoot some content and stuff so that if you are going to give you can tangibly see where it is going and what the store looks like and what it does for parents but

Mel heard us talking about it earlier on in the week and um her daughter I think is going to inspire a lot of people now to give morning Mal. Hi so we got your text this morning tell us about your beautiful seven-year-old girl and what happened in the car because this is one of those moments and I'm sure as a mom, you kind of think, oh, I've done something right here. Yeah, we were just driving to school and we listened to you guys. It's a good mix for her and for me. And the kindness collective interview came on. And they said, oh, just listen to this.

I want you to hear about this. And I had to sort of paraphrase a little bit of it for her. And then kind of explain to her that, you know, that there are some people that when it comes to Christmas, you know, they don't have everything that we have. And maybe they're a little bit poorer than us. And she said, but the mommy, we're not rich. And I said, no, no, we're not rich.

But I said, you know, like our Christmas tree, we've got presents under that for everybody in our family. And you get to wake up every day and you have breakfast and lunch and dinner. And I sort of explained that people sometimes are choosing between, you know, having a Christmas meal or having presents. And so she was listening to the lady who said, because of their, you know, partnerships, they can get like three presents for $20. And she kind of was listening. And she has a thing that was sort of done the last couple of years where she, in the lead up to Christmas, will do, you know, little jobs and stuff.

And she writes a list of everyone she wants to buy Christmas presents for. And she goes out, I mean, it's like a $10 budget for each person. But she chooses them. And she said, well, you know, I can't do that with my Christmas money. And then a few minutes later, she said, oh, mommy, what's 20 plus 20 plus 20? And we added it up. And she said, a hundred. And I said, yeah.

And she said, I want to give my Christmas money and get five kids toys. Oh, darling. Ash is going to be a mess. You've done something right there, Mel. Yeah, well, he's hoping. I mean, I started sobbing in the car and she said, why are you crying? She's like, Mom, we can keep it if we need it.

Yeah, that's not as much. Yeah, pretty much. That's so special. That's awesome. That's when it's a parent. You also do want to pat yourself on the back a little because you're like, great, I've instilled something in my kid where she's empathetic enough that she's heard there's a need

and she's gone, how do I fill the hole? Yeah, I mean, I think they're just, she's really fortunate, we're a blended family so she's got so many people and she gets so spoiled at Christmas and I don't think you can ever remove that commercial aspect of Christmas because I'm the guest to give a person under I want to see people's faces and they open it and I think slowly that's coming through with her thank you so much for your um for the donation from your family and from your daughter this way no worries at all and thank you yeah thank your daughter for us yeah we will see your text as well Emma saying my five-year-old said she's going to donate her

$5 pocket money this week. She's telling her brothers and sisters to do it as well. Sweet her, the best. You guys are amazing. So great. So, yeah, really looking forward tomorrow to hopefully open the floodgates and having all the donations come in and we'll key updated as to how many kids are coming off that wait list.

You'll hear the stories as well for families that you're going to be impacting. Parents that have been impacted in the past, it's going to be really cool. Yeah, as a family, us each family, we can make a difference in some people's lives. We can do that. All right, Alan, Dan, there's 37 today. Another year wiser. Oh, Daddy Dan, advice line. I'm not wiser, though.

I'm not, I feel like I'm not wise. You've got to believe if you believe you're wiser, then the wisdom will come. I mean, I'll try and give you some advice. If you've ever had something you want to, you know, you want to know something about something, you want me to give you some advice, I'll do my best. If you're struggling, you go, God, who do I ask you about that? Dan's 37 today.

Daddy. He's wiser than he was yesterday. Oh, Daddy, Dan. I'm not great with the birds and the bees. Stay away from that stuff. Good to know. Ask Clint, Megan Dan. It is our Dan's birthday.

He's 37. Today is a year older and therefore wiser. So if you want any advice, I'll wait, hundred the edge. Is you say daddy's home? All right, Daddy Dan. This is usually reserved for Clint. Daddy Dan. First question, my wife asked me if I thought her sister was hot. They're identical twins.

What should I have said? That's a trick. one. I would go, yes. Because if they're identical twins, you would go, I find you more attractive because of your personality, but in terms of attractiveness, you're identical, so I do find you both attractive.

You're telling you why you find her sister attractive. You're both gorgeous, obviously, but there's something about you, darling, that I can't quantify words, but it just elevates you to another level. I should have said that. I don't think you should say you're both beautiful, but I only find you attractive.

That's it. You said she's attractive? Yeah, very good clarification from you, Clinton. There's something hot about being married to an identical twin, though. You know? There's always that possibility. Siamese or just... No.

All right, Susie's got a question. The Siamese twins and they get married to one guy. That would be complicated. That would be complicated. Okay, Susie, what's your question for Daddy Dan this morning? Hold on. I'm going to bring her up. If I could drop my grass clippings over a fence, if my green bin is full.

Yes. Now, Susie's asking this question because I famously, I don't know, it was before you were on the show, Ash, was pissed off with my neighbour who would do every loud music. They had a wedding at their house for five days. It was a nightmare. I called Noise Control. They said they couldn't do anything about it. And so I started just tipping my grass clippings over their fence into their backyard.

Actually, I've heard of that. If you do tip grass clippings over the fence, they shorten the weddings from five days to three. Yes. Yes. Or at least it makes you feel better about it anyway. So I'd say do it. Go ahead. Just make sure that they don't know it's you, Susie.

So when should you do it in the middle of the night? Do it in the cover of darkness, of course. Don't do it broad daylight. In the middle of the night. Yeah. Oh, Susie's drunk. Love it. Yeah.

Perfect time to do it as well right now. Someone else wants some advice from Daddy Dan. is the new season of Stranger Things worth watching, in your opinion? Absolutely incredible. 10 out of 10. If you like Stranger Things, you will absolutely love the next four episodes that have just come out. People are saying it's the best television they've ever seen.

Yeah, it is. It's really, really, really good. Can I just watch that then? Or do I have to go back and watch all the other seasons? You're doing yourself a disservice if you do that. Every season of Stranger Things is good. So you're going to be, you're going to love it. Watch it from the start. Another one's come through.

Hi, how I don't, happy birthday, love you. Where do I stream Megan Markle's new show? Couldn't tell you. Watch Stranger Things, that's my advice to you. Okay. Yeah, Megan Markle. Dan, someone else says, there's a Scott question. Why does Flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?

Flammable and inflammable. That is one of the biggest existential questions I've ever heard, and it's a very, very deep question. Inflammable, inflammable. I thought inflammable meant that it's not flammable. Maybe it's something, not that it's my segment, but maybe it's something to do with being inflammable. Flamed as opposed to on fire.

Inflammable. You're right, it isn't your segment. Morning, Millie. Morning. What's your question? I'm just wanting some advice on how do you find the one. I'm just looking for some love in my life. My first question to you would be, how old are you now?

24. You're still young. I don't think there's any rush to find the one right now, Millie. You know, you start worrying about. about this when you're mid-30s. You just have a bit of a laugh. That's when it's almost over. If you've ever got anyone by then, bug it.

And I tell you what, I was starting, when I was in my like mid-20s, mid-to-late-20s, I was starting to get worried about it like it sounds you are as well. Well, will I ever find the one? Will I be alone for the rest of my life? Will I ever kiss a girl? Exactly.

Will I ever have sex? And it turns out I did find the one. Yeah. And you've just got away. And you know what happens? You find them when you're least expecting it. And when you're not looking, you find them. If Dan can, you can, Millie.

Exactly. If I'm the canary down the mind. I've also got a text from Shannon saying, why is abbreviation such a long word? Why are you asking me these questions? I know you're a year older and hopefully wiser. Are you just older? I'm just, I've never been wiser, Clint.

Abrivation is, I couldn't spell it. I literally couldn't spell the word. Really? Yeah, as it start with a U. A.W.B.R.E. Yeah, breakfast. As I said, Ash, not your signal. It's Clint Megan Dan's

All right, a few stories we want to check on your radar for 3rd of December As if it's the 3rd of December, my darlings I know, it's the countdown, it's a slide down to Christmas now August, September 10th, I've been here July, August, September, October, I've been with you guys for five months Is this sort of time of year where if you haven't done your Christmas shopping yet You start thinking about it

I did it all in one morning I was done Adrian took buddy to Kmart and I said I need two Two hours online. The number of teenagers who vape regularly, which they actually class is once a month or more. I wouldn't say once a month is regular, but that's the stat. Had tripled between 2019 and 2021 peaking at 20%. I'm going to say one thing and one thing only.

Because we all know how dangerous it is, right? We know it's bad for our health. Yeah. They say it is. I don't need to sit here and be like we don't know what's in it. It's unregulated. It's full of chemicals. It's more nicotine than we get it. I don't need to say all that people know that.

What I will say is when you take a puff out of that bloody thing and the cloud of smoke goes around you, you look like a dicker. That's long as I say. Well, it turns out. The amount of people that Ash has given advice to Clente around here that vape, she's given them a piece of her mind. The latest action on smoking and health survey

has found the numbers have halved since 2021. So less people are smoking, Yeah, half as many people are vaping over the last three or four years. That's great. That's great news. No, it isn't, though, because at least cigarettes are more regulated and we know what's in them. People don't even know what are in vapes because it's so unregulated. And they open those bloody things up.

They're full of mould and chemicals. It's absolutely foul. Yeah, but I think, you know, look, if you're going to suck on something, have a chub-a-chub. That's what I've always said. That's the saying. Chub-a-chubb's like, it's not bad, actually. Maybe we could start that. I had a chudge up the other day, delicious.

No, I'm addicted to my phone though, so I can't talk well. Speaking of, what do you do if you've got an old phone just rattling around in a cupboard that you don't use anymore? Yeah, maybe you're wanting some money for Christmas. Maybe you've got a kid that wants a PlayStation or something like that. You don't have the money. I just found this last night. So J.B. High Fine, and this is not sponsored by the way. I was just looking.

But if they wanted to sponsor Dan, he'd be open to it. Yeah, but you can literally look through your drawers at home. Maybe you've got some old phones, some old technology. They take like headphones, old TVs, stuff like that. You take it and they trade it and give you a voucher. I had an old iPhone 13 in my drawer. Yeah. And I went into the website.

You could put all the details in, say the condition, stuff like that. 300 bucks back. What? That's a big huge. Do they refurbish it and then sell it? Yeah, I think what they do is they give it to another company and then they refurbish it and sell it for more. Fine.

But that's awesome though. It's like less stuff in land, feel. We need to be like using things as much as possible. Yeah. So if you've got kids that are wanting, you know, like a piece of technology from J.B. Hi-Fi. Why wouldn't you just do that? Well, Patricia Carl, you chucked an old phone in and gave it a nudge.

Do you get a voucher back? Yeah. I don't know what I'm going to do with this all. So for a Samsung Galaxy S-20, $4. Come on. Yeah, because it's Android. That'll be why. No one's an Android.

You're an Android. Got him. Good one, Carl. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's really good. I love you guys. And also, you may have heard, but if you haven't, there's a bit of weather watch on, starting 8 o'clock, Auckland and Northland.

Marbled-sized hailstones. I mean, from where I'm looking out the window. What the heck? Skies are clear. Bluebirds. Marble-sized hails, small tornadoes and heavy rain. Small tornadoes. Throughout Northern and Auckland for 10 hours, starting at 8 a.m. this morning.

Now, Clint's got to make the big decision this afternoon. Which one of his test list does he put in the garage? You're unrelatable. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. Dan's birthday today? Love you. Maybe a little birthday surprise on the horizon for him.

Oh, I saw that in the sheet. Oh, don't make a song and dance about it. Why? Why? You deserve a song and dance? You know what I'm like with that sort of thing? I get all funny, don't I? Yeah.

Probably have a cry. No, I won't have a cry. Oh, maybe we're going to make Dan cry. No, maybe not me. Okay, I'm talking to extreme cheapskates in the meantime. Saw this clip of a woman and I was like, this can't be true, who works on an airline. She's an he hostess.

And this is what she does with those crappy, pillows that are not comfortable and don't really do anything, but I mean, I guess they've got to try and give something to us cheapies and economy. The covers that go on the airline pillows are thrown away at the end of the day. Most flight attendants don't want those dirty pillows, but I found good use for them. Before I do anything, I make sure that I boil them down. By boiling the pillow covers, you're basically sanitizing them, getting rid of any germs or lice or anything that passengers might have left behind.

What I do with them is I cut them into little triangles. They make, voila, the perfect coffee filter. She strains her coffee through the pillow liner and then she drinks it. Now, here's the thing. She admitted there might have been lice on there. I have a filtered coffee every morning and I use a coffee filter, a fags coffee filter, which I buy from the supermarket, okay? And they are, don't laugh.

They are $3 a packet for $100. So you do the math. If I get a pack of a hundred fags coffee, how much am I, is she saving there? Three cents. Three cents is one thing. Yeah, well, this is supposedly how much she's saving based on how much coffee she drinks. These pillowcase coffee filters save Stephanie about $6 a year.

Oh, darling. There is, time is money. But that's... And I understand that people are on different budgets. Of course we have to find savings when we can, but is it worth putting your health at risk every single day for $6 a year? I don't think of this.

And you're not saving enough there. No. Like you need to put that time and effort into saving more money elsewhere. Yeah, you imagine all the boiling of all like the intake, carrying it all home and putting the dirty pillows

in the back of your car. Yes. You can put your energy into almost anything else and make more money than $6. Ash, have you heard of our dear friend Chang who used to work here? No. He was a producer on the breakfast show.

No. Oh, yeah. He was the tightest person you'll ever meet. And he'll admit it. He'll admit it. One of the things he used to do is he used to live above a burger. Burger King.

Yeah. And they didn't pay for Wi-Fi because he'd go down to the Burger King every day and use their internet, just to save money. Would I like... What an inconvenience that is? I mean, I love taking money from corporations. Love that. But the inconvenience of it to leave your house and sit in a Burger King to do your emails

or watch your Netflix. And here's the thing about Chang, you'll correct me, from Ronklin. But he saves so much money, he managed to buy his parents a house. Okay, well, go to Chang then. But that's the thing. I guess when you add it all up and you're doing all. all the things. You have to have a special wife, though,

to be able to tolerate the cheapness. Okay, we talk frugal friends next. What is your friend doing? Oh, you. Can you dub yourself? He knows it's funny if he doffered friends. If you want to doggia, just don't have me any word. Well, you just go wait until you hear what my mate's doing to save money.

My granddad used to pull the grass out of his backyard with his hands. No, he did. He did. Small backyard. No, you have to be. You're such a liar. I swear on my life. I swear on my life.

Why wouldn't you just use scissors? That's easier. It wasn't all with it. Somba, back to friends. I hope it was a good gig last night. If you were at the Auckland Town Hall, I saw the queue from 7 o'clock. It was massive.

I was like, what the heck is going on? Because Somba wouldn't have been out at 7, so people just want to get there early. You get a good spot, I suppose. I want to get up the front and make eyes with him, so he'll say, come on back to my hotel. That's what he does, eh? Yeah, I've never heard of him once doing that.

just saying, as someone who has been 18 years old before and obsessed with a pop star, there's always part of you that hopes this is the night they'll see me in the crowd and go, you, go on tour with me. Here's an NDA, sign it. Yeah, that's what they do. Talking extreme cheapskates after an e-hostess admitted that she collects the pillow liners after a long flight, boils them down, chops them in half, and uses them as coffee filters. Saves her six bucks a year.

Kristen, what have you got to try and rival that, although it'll be tough to beat? so this is my nephew who's only he's only just two at 14 and so he wanted a bike to be able to do skeds and stuff like that on but didn't want to have to constantly get new tires so he put pool noodles on the rind pool noodles that can't be how does that work well i guess they they sort of like a i have got a bit of functionality as a tire because they're made of like a rubbery substance but man i mean it's clever it's industrious he will go far in life thank you very much Kristen thank you Kristen someone texting my nana never throws away a survey yet if there's even one spare at a restaurant she'll bring it home and if there's a dispenser at the table she'll genuinely empty whatever is left into her handbag nana's are allowed to do whatever they

want aren't they Lisa calls her husband who sticks through a coaster and apparently whenever he goes downhill in his car he drops it into neutral to save petrol what is that saving I knew a guy like that I think about I'm literally once a day when I'm driving, I remember Mark telling me, just going on YouTube when you're going down hills. Surely getting back into gear. This is another one.

People are re-boiling and reusing tea bags. Like, how much are you saving? A thing of tea bags is what, $5 max? Here's the thing. If it's for saving money, I'm like, if it's for saving the environment, then I'm more open to it. Like, you know, if you go, well, you know,

like it's one less that I'm using if I do this again and that's better for the environment that I kind of respect that. But how much you're going to inconvenience yourself for the environment? Let's be honest. Another one says, my boyfriend only flushes the toilet every five wheeze.

That's good. That's not being a tired ass. That's good for the environment. Normally, actually, over summer, there's a lot of people if you're going to a batch and they're on like a tank water. And they say, if it's brown, flush it down. If it's yellow, let it mellow. And that's the like with caravans as well,

or camper vans when you're camping as well, because you have those portable toilets. Yeah. Poor daddy's always the one, I'm damned you. Oh, my God. Dad, it's getting high, mate. Oh, yuck, there's no worse job. And you got the blue water?

No, thank you. My mate started fasting, not for health benefits. So he doesn't have to eat for the first half of the day. He's saving seven meals a week. We do eat too much, apparently. Really? Yeah, as human beings, we're not supposed to just be eating all day. Who knew?

I saw a lady the other day, and I think there's more and more people doing this, walking around the supermarket, and she had a calculator. Oh yeah. And she was like calculating everything and she went. But you have to do. Otherwise you get to the...

And you know what, it is an honour to do this job. I think we all know that it is a joy to come on the radio every day and have fun with your friends and hopefully entertain the masses. Well, I'm a little bit nervous because a few months back, it was Father's Day.

If you missed the show, you may have missed. One of the great moments. Dan ended up doing a big thing about dads and hit me with the, When you become a parent yourself, you see other parents that inspire you and make you a better dad as a result. That person for me is you, Clint. When I think of Clint, the first thing that comes to mind is an incredible dad. Yeah.

So it's your birthday. Why is Clint playing a video about a thing about how he's a great dad? How does that happen? Well, I'll explain. That was something, Dan, that I will always remember. And I've been looking for an opportunity to return, serve and get you back. for that. And being your birthday, I thought that maybe

this would be my opportunity. Oh my God. Oh, my God. Oh, do you know this music? Just a little bit. I don't know the music. Wait, what's the music? It's from work. It's for good. Oh, is it? Yeah, because I knew you.

Oh, no. I know. Okay, go for it. Dan, I knew you as the guy who sat behind the glass on a different show to mine. Three years ago I didn't know that we would help each other shine. I believed you were a hidden talent and I was excited for people to see. But I was also in for a surprise and just how good you truly were, one of the best that there will be. On here and off, you make people laugh more than I have ever seen. No one is like you, Daniel. How lucky are we to have you in our team.

Your humour is unmatched, your mind creative and inventive. The front row seats we get to watch you from each morning. Well, what are privilege. I now know you as one of my best friends, not just someone that I work beside. I can't believe they pay me most days, just to watch you shine. I've heard it said people come into our lives for a reason. you've come into hours for more than one it seems and in the words of a great song

one of your favourite so you'll know the one I mean it sings about because I knew you but don't worry this is not the end I do know whatever way our story goes you have rewritten mine by being my friend for all that you have given me I am your debtor happy birthday Dan

because we now know you. We have been changed for the better. Oh, beautiful, darling. Thank you, so lovely. Thank you, thank you. They're so wonderful. What a privilege it is to get to know you, Dan. I wanted the choir then to go,

Because I do you. That would have been really gorgeous. Yeah, but how you can't have everything. Yeah, we did the choir thing with Wicked the other week. Just felt like we'd be doubling up. You're the best, Dan. You're the best. You're absolutely the best.

I love coming to work every day. You know what, Clit, I actually really needed that today because I've been feeling a little bit down lately. And I really did need that. Honestly, it's such a privilege to have you as a friend as well, and you, Ash, you guys are the best. And I know that I have four hours in my day, which I can come and just laugh.

And I just, yeah, I love it. So thank you. We love you, darling. Happy birthday. And thank you to the listeners who are always just make us laugh uncontrollably, literally every day. are the best as well. I have one final thing to say

to you, Dan. I know recently I said that, you know, you have a great personality. I also want to say, you're one heart piece of ace. Oh, I'm talking. Now we're talking. A little bit of pepper in my step, guys. Amen.

Shaboozy. I thought I was hot. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Are you guys ready for some fake music versus real music? Oh, I hate this. As I say, every week, there's no such thing as a guilty pleasure when it comes to music except AI music.

Who knew it was a thing? until I literally didn't know it was a even like a thing that we possible, possible, exactly. The computers are getting good. Beyonce Love on Top is a bloody great song. This is the song of many key changes. Yeah.

They're beating Beyonce. And this is a song that she announced she was pregnant to remember. At the end, at the Grammys, she like posed and then like pulled her belly out and then they cut to Jay-Z and Kanye West was giving him a high-five. Oh, you?

Yeah. The gold jacket on. All right, well, this is obviously real music. How does the fake music go? You put me first this time, baby, is you? Oh, you're the one I love. I love. You're the one I need.

I've sort of changed it completely. Yeah, it's like a crappy version of Beyonce. I like it when it's like a new genre. That one sounds like, it sounds like AI. We're in five sounds like AI in general. I'm going to say it wouldn't be hard to do a better version of us. Okay, fake music. This love has taken its toll on me.

She said goodbye. Yeah. Too many times before. And her heart is breaking in front of me, and I have no choice. With this segment, AI does a really good soulful voice. Yeah. You know, they're sort of soulful. Very good.

Okay, let's go. Go-Goo dolls. You can't make this. The human emotion is. in this vocal, you can't replicate. One of my favorite songs of all time, actually, that's hilarious. What if you did, like, a Boys to Men, R&B version? Oh, okay.

Oh, deep. Oh. I reckon fake music could have that round We're all doing stinkface in the studio here When Dan gives it, oh she, you know it's good Yeah I still think of all Oh

Oh Oh the moment of truth in your life Oh get that on my naughty playlist I'm going to do a harmony here Cliss some buddy Cutting his shirt This comes off And I don't want the world to see me.

Oh, gosh. Okay, Adele, one of the mess to Diller. Okay, do you want to see how the computers do that song? They can't beat Adelaide. You reckon? Take a lesson. No way. No.

Stop it. Turn it off. No. No. Yeah, turn it off. Yeah. You lost us. a little bit creed higher.

This one, yes. I'm six feet from the edge, and I'm thinking, maybe six feet ain't so far down. Oh, that's so good. That was the winner from last way. Yeah, and I'm thinking, maybe six feet ain't so far down. I'm so far down. Even if Creed heard that, they'd be like, yeah, that's a better version.

Yeah, that'd be like, we're quitting. Yeah. We almost need to get an interview with Creed just to see what they think. No, that's going to make us look bad, I reckon. Yeah. Yeah, just to get them on, just to be like, hey, he's a better version of this. Actually, yeah, cancel the email, delete. I think this does prove this segment, though, that we need to be a little bit worried about AI.

Yeah, but it's not making the music. It's just copying it. I know. You know what I mean? It's a sad thing. The best part about this cover, I think, is about here. For you and me For you and me

And it just gets really quiet with Oh me now I'm six feet from the edge And I'm thinking Oh she Oh she and you're so sweet Oh she can't Get a boy!

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking Maybe six feet ain't so far down Things we love next I love this One of those little moments in life That just put a smile on your face And you go you know what life is good It's all those little moments

We add them all up together Creed are currently hanging up their guitar And microphone and stuff We're like, we out Clint Meg and Dan It's Clint Megan Dance The Things We Love We love Winner Money

First of all, 5K Secret Santa Thanks to the Edge and Prezy card I've got a clue for you You've got to try and work out who our Secret Santa is Could be a celeb, sports star, singer on the edge Monday's clue was The Secret Santa has a habit of popping up Where you least expect them

Maybe they're a pop singer Ah, popping up Yeah God you're smart Thank you They're a fan of teamwork often joining forces with others. They've done some duets before.

And then Wednesday's clue is their projects can make a quiet room feel like a celebration. I think I know who it is. Celebration. Post-blown? Nope. I don't know. I couldn't be anybody though, couldn't it? Really any poxed up.

If you want to have a guess, just take Santa to 3-3-4-3 and you could be scoring yourself a $5,000 Presie card if you're right. Oh my gosh, my dream. And the cool thing about Freezy Cards, you can add them to Apple Pay or Google Pay and just spend them wherever a visa is accepted. All right, the things that we love, 0-800, The Edge, or 33-4-3.

This is a fun segment for this time of year. Can I kick us off? I know what you're going to say too. You because I tick that. You take that too, and I cried. You can tell us because I've just joined a new gym. You go, you go. Okay, so Clint's joined a new gym, and in the gym there's a craze,

but it's like a, like, you drop your kids off, And it's like a small little gate in front of it. So you can see it in to see the kids. On your way in and on your way out. So he was walking into the gym yesterday and he caught the eye. And we know how much. He loves kids, loves being a dad. Yeah.

And he saw the caught eyes with a little toddler and waved and the toddler smiled and waved back. Oh, that is cute. When a kid chooses you to be their friend in public and you're like, you feel so special. Yeah, or even like, I found even yesterday one of the ladies who obviously works in the crash was just holding like, a baby toddler and as I walked I locked eyes with the little kid and then as I kept walking

I kept staring and they just held their gaze with me the entire way until I just appeared out of sight. Why does that make you feel so special? I don't know but I was like it's such a cool thing to have at the gym to just see these like beautiful little like kiddies just smiling away and playing and so cute. The other thing I was on a similar vein to that Clint I was at the mall the other day and I was walking past

Santa who had some kids sitting on his knee and there's something so cool about seeing Santa in the mall and like the joy he brings to like families and stuff like it was a queue around the corner to go and see him and it's just the magic and actually a lot of you know the Santas that are helping you take photos and stuff in the malls and they lead up to obviously the Santa delivering presents

when one of them really embodies like Santa and does a great job and you know he's been waiting all year for his moment in the malls I love when one of the really leans in. Someone just texted with a click of a lock on the door when you leave for work for the day. That's just the sound of like, oh. That's delicious.

I wish we could lock the doors here when we left. I've loved this lately because at summer's coming, when we leave in the morning at about, I live the house at about 10 past 5, or quarter past 5, the sun's starting to come out. So like the sky isn't black anymore. It's like a deep blue.

And it's just this feeling of like summer's coming. You can see the stars. It's a bit balmyer in the air. And it's just like, oh, I know I'm going to have to be a great day because you go, oh, the weather's going to be so sick this morning. Someone said this to me the other day. And this will ring true to you, Ash, because at the moment you've got a bit of a stuffed up nose.

Like a flu, not that her nose is out of proportion to the rest of her face. No, no, it's actually a lovely nose, to be honest. But the day after you've been sick and your nose is clear for the first time, and you can breathe through your nose after a week. And you still remember what it feels like to be sick, so you're appreciative of not being sick? By the next day, you're like, you forget how sick you were. But when you're sick, you're like, I'll do anything to feel better.

Someone said, I love saving water and showering with somebody. He puts me in a great move for the rest of the day. Oh, that could go either way. Sometimes an agent hops into the shower. I'm like, yay, company. And we can, like, chat. And we do this thing, which I hope Adrian is not listening because he'll die for me telling this story.

He's turning the radio up right now. We're hopping the shower and you're all, like, lathered up. And we go bum to bum and we like rub our bum sick. And then we go, dancing, cheek to cheek. I can never look at you two ever again in the same way. It's not a sexy thing. It's like a funny thing. Oh, no, trust me, that is absolutely not sexy.

You're unrelatable. It is so far from sexy. Yeah, but he's putting in the work because he does, he's open, he's open. It feels nice. It's a little bit for him. But, butt against butt. And you're not like soapy, but dancing, tee-to-chee. What is this, man?

I don't know. I got to find it. Some romantic song about like dancing cheek to cheek or something like that. You know when they say there's someone for everyone? Yeah. You and they're going to find it. It's going to drive me nuts. All right, what do you love?

I went home to the Edge of 3-343. Those all moments that you see or that happened to you. We'll give away a fragrance thanks to bargain chemist to our fav next. Also go to Del Varsal Mustie movie. We'll give away a few things next. Come on. Nice and easy. Just tell us what you love.

We'll send you away with something better. Right now, though, I'm talking to you about the things we love. Those little moments that you witness that have happened. to you that you see happen to others? And you go, I love, I just love that. Little things. Yeah. If one of things, if you can find one of these things every day, that's a happy

life, my loves. Now Dylan from Christchurch, good morning. Good morning. This is a great one. I love the exact thing that you love. What is it? Yeah. What I love is when you're going for a walk and you see a cat and it comes up to you and rubs against you and rolls and everyone meets you pat it. I love that.

That's a big thing in the world. Especially a cat, because They don't want it. They don't have to. No, you know? They can be picky. So it means you're a good person, Dylan. They can sense it.

I've got a cat of my own and it doesn't even let me pat it so when a random one does it just back and feel so that much better. Hey, Dylan, we'll send you a double pass so a must-seeing movie. Five nights at Freddy's 2. It's in cinemas tomorrow.

That's what he says, what he's scared. Away, away, take me away. Dan's two, you're all. Someone's sex this one and eight hours of interrupted sleep, not waking up to an alarm, nothing better. Oh, delicious, isn't it? Let's go to Michelle. Good morning, Michelle and Timaru.

Hi, Michelle. Yeah, what is it for you, sweets? Christmas carols. I just love walking into the supermarket and hearing them. They just make you smile. I agree. What about if they're in November? Like early November.

No, too early. I agree. I respect to she's. It's got to be when it's got to be. I love a Christmas carol, just at the right time. I agree with you, Michelle. Hey, would you like an early Christmas present from us to you, Michelle? What's that, sorry?

Do you want an early Christmas present from us to you? Yes, okay. All right. How do you smell at the moment? Say really bad. Oh, good, good. Oh, do you want to say? But you could always smell better.

There's room to smell better, I'd imagine. Yeah, we're going to send you a fragrance, thanks to the bargain chemist. Thank you. You're very welcome. Fragrance frenzy deals are on now a bargain chemist, and they do free delivery until the end of the month, too. Now, Brittany, you've got one. Do you work on a farm, do you?

Sort of. I go to multiple farms a day, and I set their sheds up so they can do her testing. Okay. Well, this is a very specific farming one, but I like it. What is it? I love it when the calves get into the paddocks for the first time and they're kicking around and flicking up their legs and stuff so cute

I watch Clarkson's farm and he agrees with that it's his favourite thing when he sees the calves that the baby's going into the field for the first time like they're big enough like the small cows but big calves you'd love Clarkson's farm yeah if you've never watched it before it's such a good show if you don't like Jeremy Clarkson maybe you wouldn't like it because he is a bit outspoken

I remember every school holiday as I'd head up north my uncle at a farm and up in Dargavel and yeah you let the calves like suck on your fingers because they wouldn't have teeth and you just feel all the ribs

in the inside of the mound and your hands would be all gooey and like almost like you remember the gunge from what now it'd be like that you're not selling it to me yeah nothing yeah pretty to be into it

you know what I mean Brett yeah we used to do that as kids as well yeah I don't know if they must love it because maybe it's the salts in your hands oh yeah

yeah do I take my head off to anybody that works in farming. It's a very difficult job. Long hours. And we all benefit from the farmers working so hard. Yeah. You'd love it, Ash.

No, thank you. Riding around on the court bike and the old dog chasing a bike. Yeah, get it. Get it. She thought the house could come as boys at, Clint. I don't know if she would like it. I learned. That's not true.
