The Edge Breakfast - FULL SHOW her bangs cover what?!

Episode Date: February 23, 2026

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off the morning debating when it’s acceptable to ask about weekend plans, share a toddler’s hilarious bike mispronunciation, and pick Metro Station for a throwback. Clint claims he’s sparked a New Zealand bidet trend after Art Green asks for recommendations. Meg breaks down Met Gala fashion, while Dan attempts “Hit The Spot” and struggles. They play EZ Money, dive into “accidentally drunk” stories, and read Electric Ave-themed romantic fiction. The highlight is an AMA with wakeboarding legend Brad Smeele, who discusses his accident, life as a quadriplegic, and finding happiness. They also argue the A-list game, cover Lily Collins cast as Audrey Hepburn, and hear sister feud stories. 00:00 Cold Open Chaos04:33 Bidet Influencer Era08:53 Met Gala Weirdness11:41 First Caller15:45 Naughty 6:4019:25 Hit The Spot Practice Run22:42 EZ Money 10K Game25:43 Drunk Reporter Goes Viral34:23 Bromantic Fiction43:15 Brad Smeele: From Pro Athlete to Quadriplegic51:49 EZ Money53:53 A Lister List01:07:55 Sister Feuds

This is a podcast from Rover. If this podcast was a person, it would be banned from family gatherings. Oh, piss off, Uncle John. This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Go! The Edge has your friends and your show. Start every day the right way. Here, on the Edge.

It's the Edge Breakfast. Clint Megan Dan. 942. Good morning. Good. Tuesday. If you forget about yesterday, it's kind of like a short week. That makes no sense.

But I kind of do know you, man. Yeah, if you were like, oh, how was your weekend? And we just pretend that Sunday was yesterday, sure week, baby. Someone asked me, what are you doing this weekend on Wednesday last week? That's too early. Very much. When you start asking people about what they're doing the weekend? Thursday afternoon, I reckon, this day.

Yeah, like, when you're starting, like, what are you doing this weekend? Sort of like that kind of looking forward to the weekend. But isn't everything already locked into your calendar? Oh, God, no, it's always changeable me. Yeah, he's living the spontaneous. We can keep options open, babe. He's not just going to go to the zoo again with a zoo bus. I probably will.

He's not just going to ask his wife, what are we doing this weekend? When was the last time we were at the zoo? Tuesday last week. I go every week because I got one of those gold things. Did your boy have a good birthday? Yeah, birthday yesterday, two years old, got a bike. Oh yeah, guess what he calls it? Oh, yeah, so it's a torpedo seven bike.

We're like, George, torpedo seven, you call it the torpedo? And we were riding on the road, and he goes, I'm on the Pido. Relium. You didn't think that that's what they would tell. She didn't think of it. So now we're going to have to start calling it green bike or something just so it's way away from.

Yeah, because you don't want to go to Kendi and then being like, I had a good time on the Pido. Yeah, they'll be like, okay, we're going to call your parents. Oh, mate. Anyway. All right. All right, we'll tidy it up from here. Yeah.

Probably try, anyway. Give us time. You just woke up like you. Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, my gosh. Us versus the playlist for your 6am throwback, Ellie Goulding, Calvin Harris. Did they date? Yes.

We've been playing a bit of Ellie Goulding lately. She's had a bit of a resurgence. Goulding, what's her name? That's what she has, the Halloween, but... Goulding. Yeah. Oh, she's cool, though, eh, Halee Goulding. I think she's great.

I would love her to have that full resurgence that you see some celebrities have with their dip away. Yeah. She's done nothing wrong, has she? She's not really, you know what I mean? There's been no, like, bad press. A couple of options today to replace that, even though it is a very good option. On this day in 2009, 50 cent was in the courts for distributing a homemade video

with him and a lady called Lestonia Levinson. Apparently he did it like he was selling it online, and apparently that's illegal to do. Lestonia is an interesting name. I would say, if you said, Meg, what does the word Lestonia mean? I would think a disease. Yeah, there's also Estonia, a country. True. But Lestonia, Levedston.

Wow. So that's an option. So we could play, I guess, one of 50-cent songs. Like what? Hmm. In the club. Yeah, right. I was wondering if you were going to go the or da.

You went with Da? Good for you. Yeah. The other option is Trace Cyrus. He is the... Oh, yes. Mali Cyrus's brother. Yeah.

For Metro Station? Yeah, he's in the bad. Metro Station. has a couple of great songs, this one. And you're going to ask for Kelsey, aren't you? Yeah. It doesn't seem to be an all-system. Well, that's right.

Well, he's a backing vocalist and guitarist for that band, so I reckon we play them. I do like Kelsey, but maybe there's a non-ass system because it's not a banger. Metro Station's a great. The one you just played is such a great, like, pick-me-up song. Is it Kelsey K-E-L-C-Y? Yeah.

Yeah. We don't have it? No. We used to. We definitely used to play it. in the ocean for you. Well, you used to play for any time that somebody called Kelsey rang up. Yeah.

Which was not very often, I don't imagine. Yeah, no, I guess not. That's what I got. Normally it was like Chelsea, and we'd just play Kelsey anyway. We've chucked a in there, like undercourse. Okay, so Metro Station? Yeah, go on then. Yeah, okay, sorry, Calvin Eras, Sally Goulding.

I haven't heard this song in so long. Yeah, this is more of a vibe, eh? Let's go. Let's drop. Oh, this what? Drop. Drop. It's so embarrassing

I'm so gut about part of the show Like you're the coolest of the three Why am now Yeah we're giving Dan the egg We're in trouble The Clint Meg and Dan podcast Time for a little bit of a coffee catch up Where one of us just a

She has a little something on her mind Something we got up to, just whatever Now me brace yourself Okay Because I think the Clint's got a little bit a update of sorts Because I heard him toy to the producers Clint And I thought we'd moved on

I really did We have moved on Dan and we all have. But he hasn't, he's still stuck there. Turns out, though. Oh, God. It's a bit of us. I was kind of ahead of the curve.

Is it me? Is it you? Who know? That's who. Which New Zealand celebrity also now once a day and has been influenced. First of it was Jason Gunn. Well, he wasn't influenced by you. He just went out.

His daughter brought him one. Well, how was she influenced? Just with life. God, your ego knows no limits. And now I've had a New Zealand celebrity post on their Instagram and DM me directly because word has got around New Zealand then I'm the guy to come to if you want a bidet. Did you like that?

You're not. You don't install them or anything. You're making it sound like you're living. None. Yeah. Because I don't know what one. I got two, mate. And I live in a rental.

So that'd be pissed off if I installed a bidet and ripped down all the wall to do it. All right. Okay. New Zealand's silly. Okay. Take a listen. Now I'm wondering, should I get a toilet with a bidet? I'd love to hear from you if you have a bidet, B-day.

bidet. For day. Whether or not it's worth it. It's heart green. It's heart green. Yep. The very New Zealand's very first bachelor. And we've been going back and forth and he's being wanting recommendations.

I said obviously propel. Anytime, by the way, a little insight. If you see an influencer doing the whole story of like, does anybody have any information about a bidet or a holiday or a specific, like, hair dryer or like, what sort of bed should I get? They're asking for a free. Oh, 100%. Otherwise, you should do exactly what every other person does,

which is just Google it. I know, that's what I always think. I'm like, why haven't they just Googled that? Oh, because they want personal recommendations. Oh, bullshit. And he knows that I've already achieved my New Year's resolution of a bidet. That's your, I still can't get over that with your resolution. Yeah.

I achieved it before March, too. What were your guys' news resolutions? I'll just stop working with you until we always talk about bidets. Oh, well, you're still working on yours? Yeah, that was not happening, is it? No. No, I didn't have a resolution. I just had the word peace, which is.

is also not happening. Because he's always talking about badees. He's still got 10 more months. Thanks, man. Yeah, so I'm just saying, if we get to the end of the year and almost every second person you know has a bidet, you think that's you?

Do you think that genuinely everybody knows what a bidet is? Yeah, but I was ahead of the curve. No one had them in New Zealand, and I'm hoping that through all the chat and being willing to stand up and talk about toilets, which not a lot of people are willing to do that, eventually we'll all be having

the cleanest anewsis. ever had. But in all seriousness, you're a weekend. How clean is it? Oh, really. Again, I did it again this morning, gave it a spray, gave it a little dab with the paper. You could have eaten off it. Nothing there.

That's just disgusting. If he was the owner of Propel, I'm surprised you haven't got some shares in that company now anyway. But if he was the owner and they did an infomercial, that's the test he would do. You know how they do like those things where they wipe up stuff on the ground with sprays and stuff? He'd go, look at this.

and then you'd dab his eyes and go, nothing. You could eat off that, and then she'd give a lady like an omelet and she'd eat off it. And he'd be like, thank you. Genuinely. I'm just saying, I don't understand how I'm copping flack for this because you're talking about it for a bit of mum. No one should get mocked for having a clean butt, right?

When was that a thing? I have the cleanest butt out of the three of us and I'm copping the most flak. I think I'm going to start, be the first person to do that. Start mocking Clint for not having a clean butt. No, no, I have the cleanest. Yeah, but you didn't before. Well, but I do know.

That's why you got the bidet. Yeah, maybe it's the dirtiest ass, really. Well, definitely, it's either you who has the dirtiest ass or damn. Okay, that's it, done. I know it ain't me. We're stopping. This is it. Let's draw a line in the sand now.

You've got the bidet, you've talked about it enough. You've done enough plugs for Propel. I've done another one just there. That's it. Done. Since where do you think you're the boss? Yeah, but it felt really good. I don't go.

Clint, Meg and Dan. Leshco! Scandal with Meg. The Big Gala. I used to just love it and now I feel a little bit weird watching it if I'm being honest because it just feels so bizarre

to see the juxtaposition between the world burning and people dressing up in like really weird fashion for some reason it doesn't affect me as much when I see people just doing a normal red carpet and they're dressed up and it's Hollywood

but when they go kind of wacky it just feels weird when they're like holding ice purses or you know like a bag that's just That sounds cool Are someone doing it? You can be a look about her bag was just a block of ice and she just held it.

Did it have a strap? Yeah, did it have a strap? Yeah, the strap and the strap fell off so she just held the block of ice for every photo, but there was nothing in it. Brilliant. Gosh, you must have got frostbite. I know, actually, that was impressive. I like it with the strap. Once the strap comes off, you've got a bit of it because there's just a block of eyes.

Yeah, yeah. But things like that, just weird, bizarre fashion. But this year's theme is, da-da-da-da-da-da-than, fashion is art. Fashion is art. Yeah, so I mean maybe they'll do. I think Ariana Grunner did a dress once that had a very famous painting like, like, painted all over it, so maybe ones like that.

I can see Kim Kardashian coming like as the Mona Lisa. Yeah, sort of thing. She's like framed coming out of the things. Picasso. Could be anything though. Yeah, anything can be art. You're right, so it's very open.

The girls like Kendall Jenner and stuff will still just do a very pretty dress and get away with it. It feels like a bit of a cop-out for a theme because surely a theme is so that you go, oh, how are people going to interpret that, but art can be interpreted in like a thousand different ways. There will be somebody who wears a beautiful get-up and it will just be all Chanel.

And it's like, well, Chanel is a famous, you know, art house or fashion house. And so that will be... What would you guys go as me in particular? If it was a fashion was art. Okay, fashion is art. What would you wear? Probably like a big paintbrush or something. Brilliant.

Imagine that. I'd go, you do a dress made of paint brushes. That's a good one, just like full paintbrushes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But you could go as like the Eiffel Tower or something as well. Isn't that? Because that's art, I suppose, you could just go.

I'm a couple of guys to go with me, you mean. Hey? Huh? A couple of, yeah, just two guys high-fiving above Meg the whole time. Is that what I mean? Oh, really. Oh, why? Base off.

You knew what you were sitting me up for and I just put myself at home. I used to go to church regularly. I don't know what you guys are your iPhone tower. Yeah, yeah. That's a shame. All right, do your tag and then we can move on. Oh, yes, yes, yes. I'm sure they'll want it. Yes, for sure they'll want it. Yes, for sure, for sure, the back of, whatever you're that,

six gang was that you guys were doing. Oh, thanks to AUSA's Alfred Street Party, the hottest gig in Auckland, oh week. I'll be stoked with that one. Yeah, pretty cool that Kelly Holiday and Lee Matthew is going to be playing as well. There's a bloody couple of great gets that one. All right, first call of the day.

Next, set the time for the morning. Oh, 800, the edge, and we'll sort you out with a venture to go spend in store. It's year. Thanks our show sponsor. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. First call of the day. First call of the day.

I'm going to have to abruptly changed the intro as well because we have a first time caller. Oh my goodness. And a beautiful name as well, Divenir. Am I saying that right? Yes. Beautiful name.

Hi, Dveneer. Your special skill is a Vorteki. Oh yeah, how good? How quick can you get it down? In like 1.2 seconds. Shit! That is quick. Okay, my cousin, if he's listening,

Regan and Dargaville, he's the Dargival Vortechi champion. and I'll have to find out how quick you can do it because I'd love to see you do a vortexe off. I think someone from Dagabu will do it very quickly. Yeah. 1.2 seconds though, that's unreal. How long have you been working on it? Well, I haven't done it in a while, to be honest,

because I just started nursing, so we'll see if I can do it like that. Sorry, for anyone who isn't in nursing, because I know they love a drink, and it doesn't come from Dargival. Vortecis is when you have a beer, and then you tip it upside down, and as it goes in her mouth, you swing it around, and it creates like a... Vortex.

Yeah, it's kind of... If you picture like a tornado, it's almost like a tornado of liquid, and it just disappears down the, it creates like an air pocket, and the bear just comes rushing out of it at record speed. Do you have to have quite a thick esophagus of an air to do it? I would have no idea you'd have to x-ray me why I do it. Yeah, we could be like, oh my God, you've got the perfect vortexy esophagus. When you're really hung over as a nurse and you go into work,

Can you go in early and hook yourself up to one of those sailing bags and just all of a sudden go, oh, that's better. Can you do that? No. That would be amazing, but I think you'd just call it sick. Yeah, that's probably the better option. Do you know, they have them in Australia? In Australia, they have companies.

You could probably take an IV line home and do it yourself. Yeah, they will like, you can pay someone to come to your hotel room, whatever, when we're in Australia, and they'll hook you up to an IV and effectively, because you're dehydrated. That's why you're so hung over. Not on a holiday in Australia. It's doing too many Vortechis. That's why he had to do it.

I didn't get it done because it was like $350. I'll just nurse the hang of me. Tiffany, are you going to work as a nurse this morning? Yeah, I'm standing outside Starbucks waiting to get my coffee. What's your Starbucks order? My Starbucks order is a white chocolate mokka double shop. Oh, that sounds like something Meg would order. Delicious.

And what sort of nurse are you? What nursing are you doing? I work in ICU. Oh, great. Oh, hard. Hard. Must be hard to switch off faster that. Yeah.

Yeah. Doing great work. Lucky I have kids that help me switch off. Yeah, true. They force you too, right? I imagine you get home and there's no denying the fact that you've got to give you energy to them now. Yeah. Yeah.

Are you married? No, I'm not married. Oh, what are they up to? Yeah, get a ring on it, mate. No, I know. 14 years. Oh, wow. You need to start dropping bigger hints.

What's their name? Um, Mika. Mika, did you say? Yeah, sort your shit out, Mika. Come on, man. All right, Mika, it's been 14 years, mate. I'm not sure what you're waiting for. You're more committed than ever anyway with two kids, so... Yeah, absolutely.

Maybe we need to start doing like a shame thing once a week where we just shout out names of men who have left it too late. Yeah, and now if you do get married... Yeah, it's almost like too far now. Yeah, yeah. We expect to be at the wedding, and we expect to see you doing a Vortechie there. Oh, that would be so good. New wedding dress.

So good. Kick things off when they go, I now pronounce you. Please welcome Mr. and Mrs. You know where they bring them into the reception. Anyone cheers and you're just vortex as you walk in. Show you that would be a fun wedding. Oh, that would be iconic.

Have the best day today, Devaney, and we're going to send you a voucher. Oh, thank you. Yeah, don't be a stranger. Call any time. Hold there and, yeah, we'll get that voucher. Thanks to Zed outs here. Coming up next, a little naughty, 640 teas from our Meg.

We did a little romantic fiction. It is Tuesday. so Dan and I who put sexy words to paper. It's an electric av themed romantic fiction. Oh, and there's electricity everywhere in mine. Oh, you're yours. Actually, you guys both went on the same path. Oh, Clint.

Oh, who wrote it better. Time to get naughty at 640. Romantic fiction is coming up after 7 where I give the boys a challenge to write erotic fiction for women, and this is an electric av-themed one, since we are going to be there in a few days' time. Looking forward to it. Conjanice sharing a room, so not so much looking forward to that.

But me, you've got your own room. How does she wrangle that every time, eh? Because she's a woman. I get it. I'm a woman that just had a baby, so I think they were feeling sorry for me, which is nice. I'm going to have,

although I have a feeling you're going to be bunky with me. I might have to come into your room, be like, Meg, I can't deal with that man. That's stinky man. No objection. He's like fun. He's probably trying to make you do this, so he gets a room to himself.

Yeah, well, you know what, this time? Because you got the double bed last time. I'm getting that this time. Oh, yeah, that's right. You did get the double bed last. So that's so mean. He pulled rank. We probably, babses rocked, and he lost.

I think we had an arm, wrestle. Yeah, yeah, that was right. Let's do that again. When it comes to your stories, that you've written, both of you, so it's kind of themed in a mosh pit, right? For cashier. Well, that was how I was picturing it in my head anyway.

And you both went for somebody very tall. Oh, did we? Yeah, very, very tall. I went for someone that was so tall, you'd go, let's meet back at her. You know, like if you're a girl, if you go to the toilet, let's meet back at that beast over there. Who had the tallest? Oh, I think you were the only one that actually wrote seven foot two. Jesus is it?

That's comically large. She's an ogre. No, no, see. Hey. Oh, right. Well, my woman's tall. He had a very tall lady, but not seven foot. A very big woman.

Yeah, yeah, very big woman. and he sounded very small. It was quite a thing to try and imagine in my head, actually. He was just my height. I was imagining myself sort of in a way. Right, limsy, sort of. Yeah, limsy. But not, I wouldn't say not short, but not tall, tall.

Right. I'm trying to think, I do think, Dan, you've got the ending line this time around, right? It's a good one. I've gone with a line that's not too naughty, so you could easily say it. Whereas, Clint emailed me his at 7 o'clock last night and said, nailed it again I think I'm getting too good Clint honestly

your ego knows no bounds and Meg responded trash sad to me but trash sometimes is good sometimes you just want a trashy erotic novel don't you know just to get you straight

in so we're going to be going into it after 7 the electric have themed romantic fiction okay and I mean I guess would you like to choose the order now Who's going first? Who's going second? I think you might go second this week, Clint.

Oh, Clint's take way out that that doesn't necessarily mean a win though. My mink is yours is filthier and so in radio obviously we have to, like the naughtier the show that earlier needs to be in the morning because obviously school run and things like that. So little kids and cars. Good luck to you. So maybe yours is a bit more R-rated than mine. I don't know. Actually, yeah.

You're both as bad as each other this week. You could go either way. Flip the coin. I'm ristle with you for it. Oh no, that hasn't worked out in the past. Clint, Megan Dan. Hit it. Hit it, funky. Hit it.

Oh, sorry, Meg. Sorry, Clint. No, I was going to say, officially the attempt is until tomorrow if we're getting ahead of ourselves. I challenge Dan to do my favourite song at the moment Zara Last in Midnight Sun. She's it, girl, she's coming in October, and I think this will be a fun one. Yeah, it's hard. I did a little bit of a practice. I'll be honest. I haven't practiced much.

and it is very, very high. He's getting cocky me because he used to practice over and over and over. Really? But he's hit the spot the last few times and now he's like, yeah. Yeah, the thing that's worrying me about this one is not so much the timing because what will be will be.

But it's the height of the lyrics like the singing. It's very, very high. She's got an incredible voice. You're pretty good at going high though, aren't you? Yeah, but not like it does sound like a strangled cat. I'll be honest when I go high. Okay, so are you going to lower your voice down for this or you're going to go high?

I'm going to try going high here and then we'll see how that sounds. And then if it sounds horrible, by tomorrow, I would have changed it. And you're supposed to sing out and not up? Isn't that what the vocal coach tells you? Yeah, they do say that, but sometimes it's easier said than done. Dan, you just need to sing from your stomach, not from your throat. Thanks, Meg, I'll take that advice from someone who can't sing a note. Thank you.

I think of me diaphragm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. All right, well, if you are brand new to the show and you go, what has hit the spot, Dan is going to sing along to a song. I'm going to pull the music down. It'll still be playing in the background. I'll bring a right. up at the chorus and hopefully Dan is in perfect time.

If he's not, it's a practice. We're just trying to get a bit of an idea as to how he is tracking and how much homework needs to be done before tomorrow morning. Maybe you can give me a bit of feedback. Keep it as a high one or do I go down an octave for tomorrow? This is the song. Great song.

The mega selector for Dan is a fair distance. Obviously the longer the a cappella singing, the trickier it is to hit the spot. Yeah. Let's hit the jabs. Clint's see how we go. It's quite a long one. It's a midnight song kiss

Getting under the red sky Laying on your chest like this Hold me like your bamboo's in your hand And emin Skinny dipping with your heart out It's my favorite song now We ain't gonna tell no one Here's a shocker

But the thing is this is the two-stop worse Mingloon's kind of like the spot But it's not right Is it still the same? No, when it's not on the spot It's very different, Clint You can hear it, eh. But if I'd work for a bit longer, I could have got back in there.

But no, look, give me 24 hours. What were the part you were singing in the middle? There's a lot of anime, nam, nam, amen, amen. I didn't know those lyrics. So he goes, hold me like your pebbles in your hand initials in the sand, yeah, summer isn't over yet. I think I stuffed that up. Yeah, I think he might anyway.

I mean, if he doesn't sing the lyrics but still hits the part, I think I guess it's still a whim, but it's just not a very good performance, is it across the board. Look it this way. I will go back to the drawing board. Yeah. I will give it a good practice. And I'll be back with a vengeance tomorrow.

Oh, course, they're right on the tip of my tongue. Yeah. Sorry about that, Charlotte. Alrighty. You do you guys? You guys have a great day, eh? You too, course, anytime. Yeah, see you, mate.

Oh, she was good. You could tell she was actually really locked in. You could tell it by her answers, but she just had a couple of stray ones there. Those bloody public school teachers, eh? Yeah, God, they know they're stuck. kidding, I went to public school. Did you get any of you guys going to private?

Absolutely not. No. I went to a Catholic girl's school, but I don't think I was probably. Sorry. Did you just sneeze? Some of the stories I know about Meg, the fact she, of all people went to a Catholic school, is it laugh. But some of the Catholic school kids are the worst ones. Yeah, it's like the pastor's kid.

What are you talking about? Always getting into trouble. Hey, good on you, Meg. My Jesus. My step. She can't even say that with a straight face. Clint, Megan Dan. And Ozzie TV reporter was in Italy

for the Winter Olympics and probably shouldn't have gone live to wear. I'd imagine if you're the cameraman or woman, you'd go, I don't know. I don't think you're up to it. Okay, I even heard this audio. I've been purposely like waiting to hear it in full to see.

I just, I mean, have a listen. I just think somebody should have gone, you're better to just miss the break than go to where with this. But literally, the price of coffee over here is actually fine. It's more the price of coffee in the US that we are going to have to get used to.

I'm not sure about the Aquinas. Where are we going with that one? But anyway, I love her. Oh, bless her. That's fine. She didn't hurt anyone. You should see her eyes. Like in the video, because obviously it's TV,

you can just tell like the lights are on. No one's home. Wow. Oh, but people are saying she should have lost her job. Oh, come on. Oh God, really. She's just a little bit. She's had a good time one night and she's had to go on air. She still turned up to work.

If anything, she'd be given a raise. I mean, if you've seen someone all the way over to Italy to cover the games and then they've just gone to the other side of the world and got pissed. Yeah, but if she was doing it every cross, yes. But I think it was just one, wasn't it? Well, this was her apology. Look, I totally misjudged a situation. I shouldn't have had a drink.

And especially in these conditions, it's cold. We've got altitude and not having had dinner probably didn't help as well. Shut up. We're at altitude. You don't know what it's like over here, honestly. The rosé hits you way harder. I would never be able to... Just admit what you did, rather than going, I shouldn't have a drink, it's cold here.

To relate to people that say, I just forgot to eat dinner. How? What do you mean? Oh, she's a busy journalist. I didn't have any dinner. What do you mean? She was busy covering the story.

You're in Italy and you forgot to have dinner. That's the most unbelievable part of the story. Maybe for you, but maybe she's just busy. True, you're not lying and being, going, jeez, I thought I think I forgot something. I forgot something. Well, I have my wine now. No, eat a pasta. Yes, you remembered the wine.

Yeah. God. Yeah. Oh, but I think, you know what? If it was just a one-off, fine. It is funny that Meg is coming to her defense as hard as she is. And I think that's because there's a little triggering for you. And I feel like you found yourself in this situation before when we were in Dunedin.

And I thought we were hung over. But I think because we were doing like, what was it? We did O week and we'd finish. up maybe two hours earlier. And we had to go to work. I was here in Auckland because I was about to give birth to my son, George. You were not? My wife was.

Yeah, it was about this time two years ago, I think. And you guys were down there, and I remember I was in the studio thinking, God, something's not right down there. Well, I just thought we were hung over. Meg potentially could have still being drunk. Here's some of the audio. Hey, I need a sneeze. Hold on.

No, it's gone. Anyway, Kevin up there. When you're a share of $20,000 is Clint McG and Dan's 22nd. 1001 song. I was going to say, I've already said that, but I didn't say it like that. All of the producers

have their heads and their hands right now. You could switch between accounts. So what? No, I'm good. I'm just going to throw up for a second. I'm sorry. Now, I'll have all the details for you tomorrow. I mean...

Tomorrow, Jesus, that's a tease. That's a far out. Hey, just wait. Yeah, we're not on. To be fair, it was our job to go out for a week. That was literally... I don't think their management was like, Meg, go out, go and get drunk, turn up to work horse the next day.

I don't think they were saying that. We just tried to embrace the student life a little too hard. That's very good at my job. And Meg didn't have dinner. No, that's not true. I absolutely forgot. So she ate in stools. I don't know.

That's not true. That's not true. Okay, we'd love to hear from you. I was accidentally drunk at. Sometimes it happens. You meant to just have the one or two and you can carry it away. You forgot to have dinner. One thing led to another.

He was wedding, funeral. Yeah, where did you accidentally get drunk? We want to know where you accidentally got drunk out after an Aussie TV reporter at the Winter Olympics ended up having a few too many. But literally, like, the price of coffee over here is actually fine. It's more the price of coffee in the US that we are going to have to get used to.

I'm not sure about the iguanas. Where are we going with that one? But anyway. My goodness. I've been seeing the video, the person, the man that's laughing with her, was he there with her or back in studio? Back in studio. Oh, he was, because I was like, it's a bit sad that if he was with her.

Yeah, he's just going to do that. I'll do this one so on. But, okay. And I think that makes it fine because he's having a laugh. He seems entertaining, isn't it? Yeah, but he's not her boss. Yeah, that's true. All right, we want to know when you were accidentally drunk.

Maybe you weren't planning to get drunk. Maybe you forgot to eat, weird, and had too many. Or maybe you're putting somebody else in the bin. and dobbing them in it because they turned up drunk. Well, this person's doing exactly that me. I've said, best man at my sister's wedding had a big one the night before. And this is shocking, ended up chundering over the back of her dress. That is just...

That would be unforgivable. Yeah, truly. I think they've sort of ejected out of the friend group. I accidentally got drunk during a Sunday session. This person says, I forgot I had a job interview with a big company 8 a.m. Monday morning. Needless to say, I still work at the same crappy. place I have for years. Yeah, there's no coming back from that one, I imagine, if you miss it.

Let's go to Maddie on 0800 The Edge. Maddie, when were you accidentally intoxicated? This was maybe 12 years ago. I was working at the club, and there was my farewell party. I'm usually really good. I would have some polite drinks, a couple of shots with my mates. But then that night, I was like, I'm going to be good, because it's my fairer.

Good on you. And there are my manager offered me a shot and says, oh, come on, it's just wine. And it happened to be a deadly concoction of three different liqueur. Not least to say, I was knockout, and I spent the rest of the night

sleeping it over in the office. Oh, it was your own party and you were just to sleep in the office. They were like, sleep this one off, Maddie. Come on. Oh, that sucks when you're the person that sleeps through it. Sometimes I go and take myself off to a room and have a little nap.

Is that where you go to? Then I'll come back. And then she just reappears. New lease of life. Yeah, for 10 minutes or so. Where's the person got drunk at their daughter's baptism? How does that happen? My name is Dee.

Oh, no. Meg. Her name is Lisa. And she wants to keep it anonymous. But she went to her daughter's baptism and had a little bit too much, I'm going to say, holy water. And ended up making a bit of a fool of herself. at a baptism at a church.

Wait, why would you start your tags with Hi, my name is, but keep me anonymous. Don't give us your name. Especially if Meg's going to read it out. Guys, you know, I've had a few drinks. Yeah, yeah. Oh my God, this reminds me of the time we actually did, we didn't actually,

we probably accidentally got a little too drunk, but we recorded like a drunk podcast. And then we decided it would be fun during this drunk podcast to record a message to our sober selves the next morning. I don't have time to go through all three, but I have got Miggs here. Hi, Miki.

Meggy, Mooh. Look, girl, I know you feel really hangover right now, and that's fair enough. You've committed to your work. I know you've got a lot going on in the background right now. Daisy loves you, Guy loves you, your mum loves you. Good girl. It's good to let loose a couple of times.

It's okay. You're doing great. I know you're struggling, but you're going to nail it. suggest you all right honey you've got it yeah yeah Meg's left the room she couldn't listen to that and I'm almost close as well

I think I need to leave yeah it means gone alright that'll do us my god I forgot about that day oh yeah oh that was a shocker well this is my refreshing memory hey Dan I just wanted to tell you that I'm so proud of you for having those five bits of pizza

when you were drinking and started having those shots that was the wisest thing you've ever done. I'm not guaranteeing that it's going to make you feel 100% but I will say that. Those pizzas will make you feel much better than Clinton. He was so sober-megged. Oh, yeah, competitive me. Oh yeah, competitive.

All right, coming up next to pro-Met. Hey, go to Clint. You bring up on it. You've been on it. It's no time. Clint, Megan, Dan. Careful if you're driving. I will warn you now.

Because it's time for some romantic fiction. What would that mean? I just warn you remaining. focus, not getting carried away in the sexual story and then all of a sudden, you know? Yeah, because things are about to get saucy. You know, you just want to concentrate on the road. Well, I'm starting off with Dan's first, so you'll be fine

for the next few minutes. No. Yeah, men, arguably some of the worst erotic fiction writers of all time and Dan and I are trying to prove that some men can absolutely inhale it. Yeah. For the last two years, that's what we've been trying to know. Get comfortable.

Get comfortable. Right, if you've never heard this before, I write the first Prompt when you hear the ball, the boy's writing starts. We're standing with Dan's first. Here we go. Front left, I type out into my group chat. I'm at 2026 Electric Ava and waiting for Casha to come out on stage. Bad time to lose my mates.

I searched desperately into the sea of people in the Mosh, looking for a familiar face when someone comes into my vision. A woman of pure beauty towering above the crowd. Jesus. She's just tall, lovely, very tall. It was almost like she was floating on air. Her head eclips the sun. Dad, how big is this woman?

No, you know how, like, when someone's in front of the sun, you know, and it's almost like a, it was the sun shining behind them. Got it. Very tiring about people, though. As it formed a halo around her angelic upper cortex. Her head. Were you Googling at the point? I was just trying to find different words for head.

I missed the mark, clearly. An instant tightness grew around my corner. Crutchal region. Too much. He's used too much Google. You know her. You know what's happening there. She was impossibly attractive, a mix of Jessica Alba, Rihanna, and Sandra Bullock. Hi, yeah. Why, Sandra Bullock?

Yeah, she's hot. All right, you like that? Yeah, Alex. I just feel like it's a weird. Especially miscongeniality and the purple dress walking to the plane, damn. Yeah, she's Sandra Bullock like 20 years ago? She's Sandra Bullock now. Just when she was, though, her hottest, miscongeniality time, you know?

Yeah. Oh no, you've written Sandra Bollock anyway. Bollock. Oh, that's a spelling error. Sandra Bollick. Sandra Bollick. That's a very different person. Just Garbo ran it and Sandra Bollick.

While you're a 10 out of ten a yowd as she was about to walk past me. Weird thing to yell. You're a 10 out of 10! She turned abruptly to face me flinging your long dark hair into the air. As if she was in a shampoo commercial, I could hear the other festival go as grow, a goat, Dan,

you've done so many spelling errors. I could hear other festival growers gas

at what they were witnessing from the waist up, she was completely naked. The only thing covering her

chest was her luscious bangs which had just not a lot. Does she have a shirt on?

Because you know like some festival girls they like to push the boundaries so she

just had no top on but she was covering her boobs with her bags. I never saw one

person doing that in electric last year. And also her bags, that's a

fringe dance She can't see. What do you mean? If she's got long bangs, that's a fringe. Oh, what's the... She's like, cousin it. She's just got...

I just mean like the side bits. What are those side bits? You can't cover boobs with bangs. Oh, Alanis Morrissey did it. I've seen photos of her doing it. That's where I got it. Anyway, continue on. It's anthropolic.

It feels like all the stopping down is ruin the sex. Sorry, Dad. I'll focus. Glitter tastefully covered the rest of her torso. You don't leave much up to the imagination, do you? I whispered in her ear as she pulled me into her arms. Her lips caressed mine as she let out a slow, soft sigh. Her breath smiled like mints.

She pushed me up against the radley in her body so close. It was impossible to hide my attraction. She giggled provocatively. That was quite good. I thought I was at the pop stage, but it seems I'm about to enjoy some hard rock. Yeah, see? A bit of a laugh at the end there. I thought that was a good one.

Man, my goodness. I would argue that it was ruined a little bit by a terrible read then. I'm sorry, that wasn't my best read. It wasn't a good read. I feel like the dictation was not good. Okay, well then I will do better with Clarets. God. Thank you. That's great news.

Sorry, you thought that you writing Sandra Bollick and her being completely naked apart from her fringe and I ruined it. Everybody knows Sandra Bullock. It's Bollick, Sandra Bollick. Okay, we'll take some time. We'll reset. Meg will come back with a great read when she writes my bro, reads my romantic fiction. Time for round two of romantic fiction. There are supposedly a bunch of terrible male authors out there when it comes to writing smart or erotic fiction.

And Dan and I have been trying for the past years for that to not include the two of us. Right. Here we go. We're ready? You hear this? Clint's writing begins. Electric Avenue themed. Front left.

I type out into my group chat. I'm at the 2026 electric avon waiting for cashier to come out on stage. Bad time to lose my mates. I searched desperately into the seat people in the mosh pit looking for a familiar face when someone comes into my vision. Shut up! I shriek. Rudolph!

Is that you? Hey, Jessie. He smirks. A red-nosed reindeer. I know. Weird name. Yeah, Rudolph. What a weird name to choose.

Of all the names. Yeah, okay. I mean, I know it's a name. Yeah. Okay. It's like a strong leader. He smirks, not so subtly, looking me up and down quickly, but not quickly enough.

What does that even mean? So is it like, how fast is that? Does he brought it quicker? Yeah, no, like he looks her up and down, he tries to it real quick so that she doesn't notice, but obviously not quick enough because she caught him. Okay. You were the leader of the rugby team in school, right?

Captain, he reluctantly corrects me, his smile widening, holding mine. Damn, I thought you were. were big then. How much bigger are you now? He chokes on a laugh. That's not how he choke on a laugh. You show us how you choke on a laugh then.

Similar thing. Meg coughed and choked on her like three times. I look it away before glancing back at me through those stupidly warm brown eyes. Sorry, taller. I meant taller, obviously. Yeah, I'm seven foot two now. Jesus, he's a monster! Bloody hell.

Gron. Fee, five, foe, fun! I think that's people with a seven foot. My goodness. Shire. Yeah, I'm seven foot too now. And also, he grew after school, which is, I get, like, quite... He's the type of person you want in your friend group

because you go, we'll meet back at him. Because you'll be able to see him in the crowd. Beem pole. Want to jump up on? Hell of a view from up here. Bloody out. Of course it is. You would be fit.

It would be me and Dan behind them going, can't see a thing. He's higher up than the sound booth. The crowd roars as Kasha explodes onto the stage. Oh, yeah. I mouth over the noise. What did she say? Well, you said I mouth over the noise, so I can't... No, but what did she mouth over the noise?

Go on then. Go on, because you can't hear her, because Kasha's playing. Anyone's cheering, so she's going, go on then. But you can't... Okay. He turns me around, those huge hands settling on my naked hips, weird. Is she wearing clothes? What, she's wearing no pants?

Oh, you can talk, Dan, your chick didn't have a top on. No, she's just wearing maybe like a bikini top or whatever, but her hips are naked. Right. Her hips are normally covered by underwear. No, she's low, I guess. Very, very low. Very, very low. His fingers spread just enough to make my breath catch, then effortlessly I'm airborne.

This is disgusting. A small, undignified squirrel escapes me as he slides his head between my legs, and then I feel the brush of his lips against the inside of my thigh. accidental? Maybe, but I hope not. What do you mean? He's put her, obviously. He's put her on his shoulders, but while he's wriggling to get her up there, oh, ow. God, it's very

treacherous out there as well as seven foot full. She'd kill, she'd die if she fell. It's very dangerous. And he's just muckered about with kissing the inside of her thigh. How's the view? He asks. I lean forward and whisper into his ear. She's the balance is off there. She's about to come off. Unreal.

but still not as good as the one I'm going to give you tonight. Is that the last line? That's terrible. One of your worst. Seven foot man. And I'm still imagining him as a reindeer, by the way. He's got a red nose. That's on you.

Clint, Megan Dan. Ask me anything. Brad Smaler. You may have heard the name if not. He's one of the most talented, was one of the most talented and decorated wakeboarders, New Zealand. had ever produced on the world stage. Gold medal at stake. There he is.

The most dominant man in Wakeport. He's so consistent, so technical. He can literally do every trick out there. Wow. And heartbreaking 11 and a half years ago, he performed a trick of the year for the second time, and unfortunately didn't go the way it did the first time. He had a spinal injury that put him in hospital,

and he became a quadriplegic, not able to move anything from the neck down. landed at once, right? And so this was his second attempt. Yeah, take a listen. He tells us about that moment when he takes us back to over a decade ago on the water, performing this trick

that was meant to find its way into a movie. I don't know of anyone that's broken their neck, wakeboarding, crashing in the water. We had gone to the more extreme end of it similar to freestyle motorcross where they're doing backflops and landing down a big landing ramp. I was trying a new trick that I had landed once before

and it was a trick that won me trick of the year that year. So it was a double backflip variation. It just, something felt wrong off the top of the ramp. As I opened out, I realized I bowed out a split second too late. It all slowed down. I tried to save it. I was like, okay, how can I get out of this? Maybe I'll tuck and roll.

I've got to save my face in my modeling career. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, tucked, but only got my head under, and then my shoulders smashed into the ramp and forced my head into my chest and shattered my vertebrae, and I was knocked unconscious and left floating face down in the water. And that is the last time that you had any feeling or movement from your neck down.

Yeah. Something that I found in the full track that we had really harrowing was when he said it took him a very long time to be able to look his mum in the eyes again because of the pain he knew he was putting her throat that this had happened to her son. And I thought that was a really incredible insight into how it must feel to be so pleased and happy that your child has lived through a horrible experience but seeing them go through these new obstacles,

huge obstacles. And an amazing story from someone that was so active, you know, previously to this injury, to now not having control over 90% of their body. Yeah, at least 95, like crazy. But such an inspiration, he's a motivational speaker

now and has found joy and something completely different. I couldn't fathom how I would be happy or be to live a, you know, fulfilling life without my physical ability. And part of that journey was also figuring out what the real goal was. Because my belief was the goal was moving again. That's how I'd be happy. And then I kind of realized, well, actually happiness is the goal.

It's not moving. Like maybe I can get to happiness without moving. And that just becomes a mental shift. Yeah, I thought that was amazing, right? That moment where he realized, I need to get moving. I need to move my body again. and he'd say, well, actually, maybe I just need to find some sort of happiness in this life I have now. Yeah, if you need some inspiration, whatever's going on at the moment,

Brad will be able to give it to you, quadriplegic and still finds the joy every day in life. Ask me anything. If you've just tuned in, Brad Smaler, one of the greatest Wakeboarders New Zealand has ever produced. Gold medal at stake. There he is, the most dominant man in Wakeboard. He's so consistent, so technical. Just over 10 years ago had a horrific accident that changed all that. The split second.

Straight away, I felt like it was wrong. That changed everything. I tried to move my arms at legs. Got no response. From elite athletes, he fell in love with sport to life in a wheelchair. This is the worst accident. Weight 14 had they ever seen.

The doctor said he was quadriplegic, straight up. Which means if you are unaware that he's unable to move anything from his neck down. He didn't tell us as well it was very rare for people to get these sort of injuries.

In fact, almost unheard of until he had his. Yeah, absolutely. You can text AMA, to 3343 for the full 30 minute chat, but this is how Brad now gets around in his wheelchair. I've got a what's called a sip and puff control,

so it's just a straw, like what you drink through. If I puff hard into it, it drives forward. And if I continue to puff, it will continue to accelerate until I stop puffing. I think it's got like a timer in case I pass out or something and just crash. Yes, keep rolling. And so it's kind of like cruise control,

like it locks that speed, and then I can use a soft sip or a soft puff to turn left and right and then a hard sip stops and then reverses if I continue to just that the chair can raise up. Like I go to concerts. Most venues will have a little wheelchair area reasonably good seats and stuff, but sometimes

you want to be down in it. You know, you want to be in the crowd. So I can be six foot tall again. My chair raises up and I can be down amongst it. I usually park myself in front of the sound booth and just just get amongst it. It's a crazy thing as well if you do want to get into Brad's story, all the details from the very beginning he's got a book

that he wrote himself obviously without being able to use his hands it took him a fair while six years to put together the amount of time I'd have to go to physio for my jaw and for my neck because I'd be like a woodpecker like yeah one letter at a time can you tell me why you decided to do that when you could have dictated like why did that

mean something to you to write it out well because first of all the publisher had offered me a ghost writer for me it was that there's so many things that I can't do anymore on my own that I might well make maybe this is something I could have a cracker. Even though my English teacher would have lost a shit laughing. A best-selling author, where I chose to write it as opposed to dictate it was

I had to really tell it how it was and how my frame of mind was at the time so that then when it came to the accident and when it came in all the struggles afterwards, that's when people would really feel that change and the evolution I went through. Owning it, the ride that changed my life is the book. the incredible thing that he's doing now, though. Like he tells us in the full chat how he's done scuba diving. And he's learned to hold his breath for a very long time. He'll spend three or four minutes on the ocean floor.

That's huge amount of trust you've got to give the boys who are scuba diving with you. True. If they leave you down too long, you can't just kick off the bottom. Like his life is literally in their hands. It's almost unfathomable, right? As someone that's able-bodied to be able to just imagine not having control of anything. Yeah. What was also really hard to get your head around

was him saying he couldn't move anything but it doesn't mean that the pain isn't there he still feels pain in his body and I thought that was just a horrible fate. All the things that he can feel is pain. Yeah, Brad does public speaking, essential talent.comot I and Z if you do want him to speak at your workplace or event

or awards night. But I guess if you're someone that's kind of struggling on a Tuesday to get out of bed and feel inspired then maybe this will do it from Brad. who's a quadriplegic and still finds the joy in life and purpose to carry on despite his injury. Quite often we want to push our troubles to the side

and ignore them. And when you're able-bodied, you can go for a run or go to the gym or even have sex or you drink alcohol or whatever it might be. We all have these different vices or different things that we lean on to work through them

and to not have to necessarily sit with those troubles. But if you do sit with them and you do learn about them, and then just get better and better at working through them. And that was one of the most powerful things for me. And then also just don't be afraid to ask for help. I didn't get through this alone. I had plenty of people helping me.

And I think we all need it. Yeah, incredible part of his journey was his friends and his friendships, how people that were weight borders with them and now carers. And I just thought his male friendships really inspired me throughout that chat. I got a bit teary thinking about all those guys' mates rallying around him and making sure that their mate was included just as much with anything that they went to. He was there even lifting wheelchairs that weighed a hell of a lot of weights upstairs.

He's a 200 kilos, just the chair alone. Yeah, if you want to hear the full chat, you can text AMA to 33443. It's like a 20-minute, 30-minute chat. So, yeah, you can see that. Very inspirational dude. Owning it is the book as well if you want to get amongst it to go from someone who's that active, to not been able to move from the neck down.

Just what a horrific. thing to happen to somebody and he's getting on with it. Brad Smaela. That is your AMA coming up next. We've got a little A-lister. We'll fight over which celebrities deserve to be at the top after rate, but before that, your chance to win $10,000.

It's going to go. Come on, go. Surely. Come on. Come on. Clint, Megan, Dan. The Edge. The Edge is easy money. Here's your shot at $10,000. Morning, three past dates. All right, if you want to practice,

Yes. Thanks, Nish. Thanks, thanks. 7 and 8 o'clock every morning your chance to have a crack of 10,000 bucks. Up next are the A-List list. Which celebrities deserve to be at the top? Things get heated in this,

and we do like your feedback as well. We need it because it gets really argumentative in here. Dan, it's just real stingy with the A-List a car. I just think that the A-List should be a place where special people go, not just anybody. Oh, you've put some monsters on the A-List list. Sometimes they are very famous for being a monster. Clint, Megan Dan

Alright guys, are we ready to fight it out? Let's do this! Here we go. Is Channing Tatum an A-lister, a B-lister or a C-lister? You can get involved as well. Just text through 33-4-3 what you think. I'm going to put it in a way. What's that for?

He just had some saying in a line. My name is Jeff. Does he do that? Yeah, my name is Jeff. 21 Jump Street. My name is Jeff. He's trying to do a mixing accent and he can't. He's not very good at undercover.

It's a great thing. I haven't seen any of Channing's movies. You've not seen a single Channing movie? I haven't seen the magic mic. I haven't seen that one. The magic, there's no magic in it, by the way. So I may be not a great judge, but I'm going to put him in a B. What a, what it.

I don't think. You rage bait, mate, I don't. He's in everything. Is he? He's in everything. I'm trying to think if I just saw his face, if somebody like my mom just saw his face, which you know that's Channing. I think she would, but.

Right from like step up. days. He's a B. I think he's famous. B is a great list to be on. He's not up there with your Beyonce's and your Tom Cruise's. He's not. He's been sexiest man alive, like 60 man of a year before. I remember? Yes, he has been. But so was Paul Rudd. You put him

it a B. Very early on in his career and I didn't know who he was back the end, but this guy's back ten years and I googled it and then I got the work computer virus. So I started clicking through photos. Input for this one, Sartecan 3-4-3, Channing Tatum. The fact that you know too much information about Channing-Tatum,

him's sexist man. Laura already agrees. She's saying he's a B as well. Key Lister, Channing Tatum. I do think this next one is possibly going to cause some arguments. Pitbull. Oh, he's an A all day. Everyone knows bloody Pitbull.

Mr. 3 and 5, Mr. World Wide. Now, he has got the advantage of having the one name. You know, when you say pit bull, you go, there's only one guy. It's either the dog or the man. I would put him, I would put Pitball at a C A C or an A It's very rare we get that

Producer Nipia If you type in Pitbull to Google Which comes up first Because if a dog comes up first I'll omit to the fact that Yeah Typing pit bull right now The rapper comes up before the dog

Really? He comes up before the dog Okay Maybe that's just pandering To your search history Do you, so you're saying a C Dan and Clinton's saying in A We definitely need input on

Pitbull then Yeah I think there's only one generation someone said that exact thing on the text machine that know pit bull and it's like millennials and maybe some Gen Z. I think it depends as well who he co-labs with because that all showed the circles that he's rolling with.

Are we going to get anyone... Chris Brown, Mark Anthony, T. Payne and then Dolly Parton. Right, well she's been put on the A list. Kasha? Are we going to have anybody agreeing on this final name, Nicky Minaj? Tricky one.

She's got a little bit of column inches recently Yeah, because of the wrong reasons. She's rubbing shoulders A with Trump to try and get her ex-husband and her brother out of prison or something, isn't she? Well, that's what people are saying correct. Allegedly, allegedly, right? Allegedly, allegedly. I mean, Nikki-Manor, everyone knows Nicky.

It's based on the fame, right? Does anyone know Nikki Mina. I think of all the three, she's the most famous. I would say, I would say Nicky Minaj would probably be most likely to be a list as well for me. Okay, let's quickly go to Laura. Before we go into feedback in the next break. Channing Tatum, ABC. Laura?

A. Oh, me? Sorry, Canning Tatum is a B. Yes. Yeah, thank you. Someone else is agrees. Okay, that's the one. Yeah, but then someone else texts in Channing as an A plus plus plus. Someone also said Dan's a dipshit, so we can't believe everyone.

Oh, yeah, no. Right, okay, we're going to need your feedback. Oh, Andrew the Edge, texts us three through fourth, though we haven't agreed on any of them so far. Pitbull, Channing Tatum and Nicky Minaj. It's over to you guys, the listeners. You're the boss of the show, really. I mean, Marilyn's saying Pitbull's an A?

Channing Tanem's going to be a few A's as well Yeah, rightly so It's getting headed in studio this morning With the A list to game Are they A list, B list or C list? Dan and I in agreeance actually All three are Bs this morning, Pitbull Channing Tainam and Nicky Minaj

Although Tanya has said, Texan and saying Nikki's an A, Channing's a B and pit bull's a C Yeah, which is, I mean I said that originally But I'm happy to put Pitball up to a B if we all have them on a B list.

No, and I'll make you a deal. I'm happy to put Nikki Minajia to B if Channing gets an A. Guy, what do you think? I think Cher shouldn't be on the list. We're not talking about Cher at all. I know, but the segment winds me up every single week. Dan's logic is, he just trips himself up over his logic every single week.

What are you talking about? We're not even tripping up because you're talking about a celebrity we're not even debating. I'm hung up on it. No, don't have a boy guy who was just like. He's about to make a point. He's gone. Oh, you actually am.

Yeah. We're not even debate. Look, that's just going to confuse the situation. I think what Guy was going to say, which is exactly what I think. Dan decides where they go based on the popularity in his mind. Not how worldwide famous they are, whether Dan likes him. He loves Cher, so she's going to get an A. She's worldwide famous.

That's what his argument would have been. You're right. Sorry, Guy, Guy, on behalf of Dan. Okay, what about Janine? Jeanine, Pit Bull, A, B or C? Pet. Pitbull, I'm afraid. Look, I'm a generation of ex-check,

and I wanted to see Pitbull many years ago, and he never comes to New Zealand. He's missed it worldwide. I have a beef with that, and I had to go to Melbourne to see him. So he's definitely an A in my book. How many people were at the concert in Melbourne? Seven?

It was packed, Dan. Packed. I don't think you like pit bull, so that's probably why you put him in sick. I think he writes a banger, but I don't think he deserves to be on the A list. Nail on the head there, Janine, I think. It's just a really hard one for me.

to have to decide in the end, because I'm still running through the ticks, and they are just all over the show. Yeah, this is the most hotly debated one we've had in a while. I think it's clear that I think the one, I think Nikki Minaj is a B. We can safely say everyone's in agreement on the air. I'm happy to put her in a B. If we have to start somewhere, like to get a deal going. And I think if I'm looking at everything, I think Channing Tatum is a B as well.

There's a couple of people putting them in A, but the lion's share are putting them at B. Magic, 21 Jump Street. There wasn't Deb Paul Wolverine, Dear John, Coach Carter, Fly Me to the Moon. I can't agree with you on... Okay, well, someone needs to be an A. So is it going to be Pipple or is it going to be Channing Taiton? We can't go without an A in the A list of game. Okay, Kimmy, you've got the final say.

It's up to you. Okay. Pressure on. Penny Tadam is an A. Pissop. He is a A. Yes, he is for A. Look at all the movies he's been in, and Pitbull and Nicky are B.

You just watched him doing the strip show. on Magic Mike and you love him. He is such not... He's so not an A. Dan, you see Kimmy gets to make the final decision and then she made it and then you're like, what a loser. I'm putting him on the list, but I don't like it because I think Nicky should be the A if anything.

Imagine when he walks into that party, Tom Cruise, Beyonce. How is Channing Tannan making it? Who the hell is this guy? Whatever. That'd be funny. Next time we get an A list and on the show for an interview. We've got to ask them if they know all these people. They're on the A list with them.

I think Tom Cruise would be pissed off if he saw that Channing Tadden and was invited. Oh, he'd be pissed off. He'd leave. Tom Cruise is on the out, and Channing Tatum is the future. Is he? Yes. I don't know. You need to go and watch Magic Mike, bro.

Okay, there we go. He's on the A list. Brilliant. So Pitbull missed out. Yeah, unfortunately. That's daylight robbery. I think Clint just fancies it. That's what Dye said on the TV. Who, Pipple? Oh, who does it?

The dude knows how to write a banger. And he works with J-Lo? Any guess that? Someone said tit balls, eh? I don't know. Is that a spelling error. That thing means the tap ball. It's not even close on the outfit on the keyboard though.

Clint Meg and Dan. Candle with Meg. I think this is exciting. Well, she's very excited about it, obviously. Somebody has been hailed to play Audrey Hepburn, one of the most famous a list, Audrey Hepburn, for sure. I can't even picture her face off her name.

I'd have to Google her to know who you're talking about. One of the most famous actresses of all time. Breakfast at Tiffany's. And... Never seen it. Lily Collins is... That just says a lot about you. Lily Collins is How to Play Audrey Hepburn.

That's a good match. Yes. I can see it. So Lily Collins is Phil Collins' daughter and she's also Emily and Paris. Oh, really? Yeah, so that's... I know who that trick is.

She's actually really underrated actress. Do you think so? Yeah, I think she's really, really good. I've seen her. Well, she got her own Netflix show, wouldn't they... You mean like people just don't know how... Like, she's not known as, like, having really good actresses. Yeah, because she's like a little...

She's done a little Emily and Paris. She wouldn't sit there and go, wow, amazing acting. Because it doesn't maybe lend itself towards her, flexing her talent in that way. So I'm really excited to see. I think she was Snow White one of the Snow White's, which I think so. And so, yeah, she's going to be playing Audrey Heepen, which I think is a really great match. You know, when you do a biopic, it's almost like a straight shot to the Oscars. A lot of people that win an Oscar.

Your best opportunity, eh? Yeah. Like Freddie Mercury, the guy that... Malik. Rammy Malik won it. Yeah, he was incredible in that. I think the only other person that could have played her but is potentially getting a little old,

not for the fact that she's old, but to play the role as Audrey would have been Natalie Portman, who a lot of people say looks just like her as well, and is also an amazing actress. Yeah, maybe she could play her slightly older. Yeah, they would fit imperfectly. So, yeah, it's going to be about the making of Breakfast at Tiffany's. Again, one of the most famous movies all time.

Right. Was there a song about it? What, Breakfast at Tiffany's? Yeah. Is that what that song's about? Oh, I guess so. The movie came out first. I'll say it, Tiffany's... Have they started filming that, or is it sort of... Has it just been announced?

I believe they may have started filming. She has said it's been a secret. She's had to keep for a long time, and she's extremely excited about it. I think the next biopic is out April. It's the Michael Jackson one. Michael Jackson. You're interesting to see how many people get around there.

I really hope that Phil Collins stays around for when that's released. Oh, stop, don't do that. I swear to God, because he's very ill. Yeah, and she's really close with her dad. I saw a photo. them the other day she was giving them a hug. They weren't for a while, which I think is even more special because I think they drifted apart.

Their parents are divorced. She got close with her mom, but they've like rekindled and it's very special. Do you think you'll cry when Phil dies? I would yeah, I would be looking for a day off. She's looking for a day off for anything though. If you get a doubt for Phil Coles death, you know that phone is coming up. I cried when

Meatloaf died and I will cry absolutely when Full Collins passed away. She stood on a spider the other day. Clint wanted a day off so You know, I wonder what the weirdest, most unique or lamest reason somebody's asked for a day off is. And I think Phil Collins's death would be right up there. I think you'd find a lot of people do that. Take a day off of Phil Collins.

If anyone's taking a day off for a celebrity death, love to hear from you next. There will be hundreds of people. There will be hundreds of people. You might have done it, but there's no way you've actually told the boss that's what you need the day off for because your boss would be like, stop, mate. If Ricky Martin passed away tomorrow, there's no way that Ash London.

We would not take a day off. She'd take a week off for that. She probably would, but I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying you should. We sort of stumbled across this. Meg talking about how she'd take a day off if Phil Collins died. I'm surprised by the amount of people that have taken days off work for celebrity deaths. Well, someone's called through whose husband took a day off.

Morning, Kushler. Hello. Why did he take a day off work? Oh, he was a massive fan of Michael Jackson and he still is today. He went to his concert when he came to New Zealand. 97? It would have been like 19. Yeah, 97.

Wow. So, yeah, when he died, he took a day off and told his boss there's been a death and, you know, take as much time as you need. And then he got back to work and who died. That would have been worldwide news, Michael Jackson's death. So he would have been like, wait, Michael Jackson's death or someone else? Yeah. And so, yeah, he got back to work and he's like, who died? No, Michael Jackson, he's like, what?

I think of Michael Jackson when the Netflix documentary came out years later. Is he still a fan? I don't even think he's watched it, to be fair. He's a denier. He's a sand sort of thing. He likes him too much. Wow, face saying, well, he didn't admit. He just said that somebody died.

He didn't say her. But a couple of people were texting saying when Kobe passed away. Kobe Bryant, sorry. The helicopter accident. Yeah. Someone else shut down their entire building site for the day, so everyone got the doubt when Ozzie died. Yeah.

But the customers didn't know that. You don't tell them Because people just don't get it I don't get it You'd be pissed If you had the person Putting in your bidet Propel

And then They took long enough as it was And they were like Sorry Clint We're gonna have to delay it a day Because Ozzy Oz have been died And so we've given everyone The day off

You'd be pissed I'll go Ozzy Osbourne Who's he? Yeah You're a d Yeah It's sad to my Mick Never heard of him

Can't get away With anything on this show No Ash you're listening You want to come back Hey, Melon took a day off. Hey, Melon. Doesn't matter.

Song started. Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, my gosh. Talking about this, yesterday I think, because Hillary Duff has spoken out about a couple of songs in her album being about her older sister, Haley Duff, and how they fell out. And when we got talking, the three of us realized

we don't have sisters, none of us. But I had... We didn't just realize in that moment. I don't have a sister. I've known for a while I haven't had a sister. I mean, we all kind of just collectively realize we can't experience what it's like to have a sister. and we know though from other people having sisters

that they can have a very volatile relationship I would say Well the crazy thing about Hillary Duff and Haley Duff We're only like a couple of years apart And they do the same thing like singing and acting or whatever You think that'd be super tight But something's happened and they've had it falling out They haven't been photographed together since 2019 They're so similar even their names are almost the same

Crazy you know This is the bit that Meg play for us yesterday have you missed it about our Hillary talking about her sister in the song that she wrote, we don't talk. It is. It's definitely about my sister. Just absolutely the most lonely part of my existence. It's not

having my sister in my life at the moment. Really struggled with thinking about including that on the record. But it's funny as a person that exists in the world without my other half, so many people are having that experience. A lot of conversations I have with people that have me too, me too, me too.

So if you have a sister I'd love to know about your sister feuds and fights because I reckon you guys have had some of the biggest fights there could be but then within five minutes you're going shopping together that's what I see anyway with my girlfriends that they can just have these insane fights over something like a borrowed top

and they'll be screaming the house down and all of a sudden it's fine and then do you think things spiral to a point where they haven't spoken for years and they both forget about what the original fight was you know, so it could be like a borrowed GHD or something. I don't remember that. You tell us what they did, or you did,

but you're probably going to say what they did. And then we'll guess how long the feud went for. Might still be going. It could be, or it could be one of those five-minute ones where suddenly they were getting ice cream together, you know, that afternoon. You don't go straight to ice cream, though, do you? I reckon sisters do. I don't know.

It's like a weird, like I'm jealous of it, clearly. I'd love to. You can have ice cream if you want. No, I just mean that sort of relationship where, like, The bond seems so strong. She doesn't have a sister, Clint. We just figured that out. Yeah, I can't ever.

Okay, tell us what your sister did, and we'll get how long you've feuded for off the back of it. Someone said maybe it's a lot of mummy-daddy issues that have coming up. Are they talking about me or are they talking about the sisters? I like that. Baby steps, Olivia Dean, and we've got a double-pass-a-musty movie up for grabs. That will give away next. We want to talk sister feuds.

Hillary Duff who's coming to New Zealand in October She's having one with her sister at the moment And being photographed in many, many years And she's written this song about her sister What are your sister doing? We're going to guess how long the feud's been going for? From what I've witnessed with other friends with sisters You can have the most extreme fights

And then be fine within a minute So I'd love to know what goes into these sorts of arguments Do you think it's a lack of communication, it seems With a lot of these coming through They just don't talk about it I don't know. I just can't experience. Well, yeah, keep them coming through.

It looks like they're coming through thick and fast now. Let's go to Justine first. Justine, your sister had a fight about what? Well, she had a fake relationship, and I called her on it, and it was a bit too close for her, so we haven't talked in many years properly about it. What do you mean like a fake relationship? What does that mean?

She actually left her husband, and it's a bit detailed, but, you know, it hasn't been addressed. It's the elephant in the room. So it was like when she broke up with her husband and then she made it look like she'd moved on by creating a fake boyfriend. Wouldn't that be what sisters do together, though, in a way? Like, you'd make the fake boyfriend look real, or was it, like, behind everyone's back?

Everyone else believed it, and I thought something's not quite right. So I kind of went up against the family, and it was revealed it wasn't true. Oh, interesting. Yeah, they even divorced, so it was a bit of a tough one. That's a very specific argument. Very specific. Are you guys talking now? Are you talking now?

Are you talking now? No, I'm blocked on all socials, but sometimes we do have to see each other in person, obviously. Is she still seeing that fake man? No, she probably believes so, but it's a bit of a disagreement. So I'm yeah we live our own lives That's a shame Well you won't be taking her to the movies I've got a double pass for you

How to Make a Killing It's in cinemas Thursday 28 billion dollars in inheritance Seven relatives standing in the way I got a little upset at my niece's 18th birthday Because no one was listening When I said I was okay to drive home My sister thinks I ruined her birthday

Even though others were there who said I didn't How long has it been since bespoke and seen each other Do you guys think for that? Oh that's probably That could be like life Really? Yeah. Because those little ones, the little ones that start, and then they balloon up.

And they balloon up into nothing. Oh, what about this one? My sister gave my 13-year-old alcohol without my consent. Oh, that's done. Yeah, I wouldn't be talking to my brother. You definitely have a serious conversation there. Oh, yeah. They said, feud is still going.

She's cut off until she apologises and accepts fault. Another one, my sister killed my pet fish. She unplugged their tank filter to plug in her hair straightener. Oh, murderer. Within a couple of days, both my fishies were gone. That sounds like a childhood trauma one that's still processing. Bubbling underneath. They didn't. They didn't really got a full apology for it.

No, they didn't. No, they didn't. They just fish. Yeah. I feel sorry for you. Meg's got a like 17-year-old fish, so they can't live for one. I do. I do actually. No, I think her mom just keeps replacing it.

No, he's huge. I don't think Godfish live that. Quick, Google. No, they do. But it's like 17 years max, so it's going to die soon. Oh, yeah. I got him when I was 22, and I'm 35. Okay, well then you haven't been 17 years

Unless you got him as an old fish No, I brought him as a baby fish I didn't say 17 years Why are we saying I said it? I'm sure you've said 17 No, 14 Okay Still, it's in the next couple of years

Get ready for the funeral Producer Nibia? They live till 30 meg, you're sweet Oh God 30 30! No one's kept a goldfish alive that long Absolutely not
