This is a podcast from Rover.
Some podcast educate, some inspire.
We do neither.
Welcome to the most unnecessary thing you'll listen to today.
This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
It's the last radio show of the year.
Yeah it is, baby.
Merry Christmas.
I mean, love our jobs.
Also, I've been on holiday and sleeping in.
Oh my God, I turned my 4 a.m alarm off this morning.
Like, permanently goes, for just tomorrow or this schedule, I'm like, off of the schedule.
So hopefully today is your last day as well, if you're listening.
You've made it.
Or maybe you've got a few more days left before you get the stats off.
Even if you, unless you like an emergency room, doctor.
Or the breeze.
Little kiss-asses.
They're working up until Tuesday.
Oh, yeah.
I saw the breeze out there.
The breeze.
And they're righting their tits off.
I know.
We'll finish on the tent.
just slow down.
It's like those guys
that are still sprinting
over the finish line.
You know,
they're going to win
by like 10 links.
Yeah.
Calm down, man, pull up.
And they come across
all relaxed and breezy
on here,
but off here.
Oh, nightmares.
That's a lie.
They're lovely humans.
So lovely.
Yeah.
To you.
I never have to wake up
early again, guys.
I know.
Oh, yeah, you do it.
You can sleep until like midday
if you want.
Well, I have a child.
So I was just telling Nixon,
like, what a funny world
that next year I'm looking forward
to not waking up until buddy gets up at 6.30.
You know, usually we're like, oh, 6.30, it's so early.
Now I'm like, that's not late at a half.
Can I say as well, I'm unsure whether you would appreciate your text being read out or not, Sanjay,
so I won't, just in case it's personal.
But the text that you sent this morning, we've read it, and it was very touching.
We really very much appreciate you reaching out to us this morning, bro,
and we appreciate what the show has been and done for you.
I mean, we've had a rough couple weeks.
Yeah, sending all of our love to you.
If we were there, we'd give you a big cuddle, mate.
We love you, brother.
We've appreciated making your laugh, mid-bench press and dropping what is probably a warm-up weight across your chest from time to time.
And we appreciate everyone like Sanja as well that is up early with us in the morning.
It's a 6 a.m. Club.
We'll see you, babe. Nardia. We'll see you, babe.
Clint, and Dan.
Oh, oh my gosh. Meg will be joining us after 8 this morning, so she'll be of a full house.
What a show. We've got Santa might join us. We've got Meg coming in. Oh, what a joy.
I heard Sandy had his Christmas party last night. He's a bit hung.
Oh, he's a bit sorely.
Santa Claus. He's allowed.
Yeah, yeah. I guess he probably has his Christmas
part in the 18th because that gives him about a week
to recover. Yeah, lead into then, yeah. So we get ready
for the sleigh. Yeah, good on him.
Well, does he get slayed before
he does the big... Mrs. Claus likes to
do the slaying about a week out so that they're
focused. That's what they do. That's what they call when
they get the sleigh ready, the slaying.
Yeah, right. The slaying of Santa.
Lucky lad.
Oh, no, Santa's, he's just out here. Do you want me
to bring him in? Oh, yeah. He's just pop
in for a quick.
I don't know. That's an early.
Start for his diet as Christmas pie.
No, no, he's not...
Hey!
Oh!
Oh, Santa!
I thought I was coming in a bit later today.
Oh, you do sound a bit raspy.
Oh, no, that's just my voice, Ash.
Too much eggnog, darling.
Yes, I do love a bit of eggnog.
Oh.
A bit of a short in there, too.
Very nice.
Did you get Slade last night?
Yes, got Slade, Mrs.
Mrs. Claus and I had a wonderful evening with the elves.
Oh, okay.
Oh, you included the elves?
Yes, well, they have to prepare the sleigh, obviously, for the big night ahead.
Yeah, Marilyn wants to know if your sack is full.
My sack is almost full, yes.
I've been filling it for the last three months.
All the children on the good list have been sending through their requests.
And my sack, by next week, will be full bulging.
Oh, that's so...
It's a magic sack as well.
You can fit anything inside it, and I can take it all around the world.
Millions of children getting gifts one night.
Your voice is a bit rasper.
You haven't been vaping, have you?
No, God, No, Clint, I would never vape.
It's bad for you.
And that goes for everybody.
Don't vape this Christmas.
Does that get you on the naughty list if you vape?
Absolutely.
And you'd never get off it.
Oh, wow.
Oh, that is an instant naughty list for life.
Well, producer Neepia, he vapes.
Exactly.
And that's why he's not getting anything from me this Christmas.
Damn it.
Oh, man, what did you want from Santa, Neeps?
Like a pony or a new car.
You're dreaming, anyway.
I wouldn't fit that in my sleigh, would I?
What an idiot.
His sack's almost full
as if we can fit a pony in there now.
I heard a sack was massive, though,
so we can find a little thing in a sack.
Oh, my little pony will be cool too.
Yeah, all right, Sandra.
Well, thanks for coming in,
and so I appreciate it.
We may see you later on in the show.
Oh, of course you will.
Love you, Santa.
Bye, guys.
Yeah, see you, mate.
I can't get a word in when he's here.
I know.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, Nathan says,
damn, I'm on the naughty list as well, then.
Oh, well, do you know what, Nathan?
I wouldn't take his word for it.
If you can give up this Christmas,
if it's a New Year's resolution
to give up vaping,
then I would say do it.
Don't listen to Santa.
Yep.
So Christmas song, what's it going to be?
I mean, have we played all I want for Christmas?
We haven't.
I don't know.
What?
I just, maybe I just don't, you know what?
I don't be a Grinch.
Let's play the song.
Oh, no, what were you going to say?
I just...
Do you want like Ariana Grande and like Santa Baby or something?
I'd rather that.
Rather than like this.
All the Kelly Clarkson one.
What's the Kelly Clarkson one?
Oh, yeah, she's not one.
Something about the Christmas tree?
Something about a Christmas tree.
Let me have a look.
Something about the Christmas tree.
Santa Tell Me is a great one by Ariana.
In fact, that is my wife Hannah's favorite Christmas song.
Okay, yeah, maybe it's just, yeah.
Underneath the tree is a Kelly Clarkson one.
Okay.
If it's not in the system, just play.
Underneath Ariana.
The tree.
And I hate to throw a curveball in there, but the end.
Shear and Elton John.
Oh, Merry Christmas, Elton John and Ed Sheard.
Oh, that's not bad.
Yeah, it's a good one.
I love it.
I love it.
I love beautiful.
That's what every woman wants to hear on Christmas Day
because she's elbow deep in shell and prawns.
She's looking gross.
Either Santa tell me.
Oh, yes.
This one.
Oh, okay.
Sorry, Ariana.
She didn't get even.
She'll be fine.
This is going out to all the moms, all the grandparents,
all the mother-in-laws.
Yes.
doing Christmas dinner.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
I appreciate the text that coming through.
See your text too, Johnny.
Thanks guys.
I can get in touch with this early, bro.
Even that one from Gavin that said
this is a crap Christmas song.
Good on you, Gavin.
Johnny said,
Kiyota team.
Thanks boys always making my hour journey
to work so easy.
Thanks Ash for making a massive difference
to the show and embracing
the Kiwi culture.
You're one, mean,
Manawahina,
and also thanks for the 500 bucks
from the Body Armour promo.
Kids are going to have an awesome Christmas this year.
Hopefully I feel like there's a general vibe around the place at the moment as well
that this year has been a tough one for a lot of people
Especially the end of the year it's dragged on a little bit
And there's people obviously losing their jobs
Loved ones losing their jobs
But hopefully this time of year there's a bit of solace for some people
Yeah
Bit of time off maybe
And just time with people you love without expectation
You know lying on the couch watching a movie
Yeah
That's what life's about really
And we work so bloody hard all of us don't we?
to like achieve and earn and blah blah blah but it's exhausting yeah and you text through saying
that we keep you company on your drive to work it's that it goes the same for us as well
we could sit here and do the show by ourselves or you guys could you know get involved and you
do you're right I guess people probably don't realize the input um I mean the difference
that people make when we have a show that just seems to have heaps of interaction oh my gosh
absolutely spurs us on it brings a real vibe eh you're like oh my god
Everyone's out there, everyone's weighing in.
Totally.
Yeah, no, we appreciate that.
It gives us a real vibe in here.
Thanks for everyone that's saying
that they'll listen to me on Arvo's next year.
Appreciate that.
Yeah, she's been behind the scenes.
She's been, because she's never pushed buttons before,
like what Clint does on our show.
And you've been learning.
And, man, you've been going well.
Thank you so much.
It's a hard job.
Everyone believes in me except my husband.
And he's the boss.
He's the one you really have to get over the line.
Yeah, he's a hard man to please, isn't he, that guy?
He does that.
Maybe he plays, maybe he's one of those coaches where,
It's like tough love.
Yeah, yeah.
He knows that it'll spur me on to impress him and prove him.
It's almost like reverse psychology.
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah.
Which normally doesn't work with adults.
Normally just kids, but...
What's that movie?
We are the Titans with...
Remember the Titans with Denzel Washington?
Yeah.
Yeah, he's the Denzel in that situation.
Yeah, he's good, eh?
I saw the video...
Because it's completely going off track here.
A video of Denzel Washington.
The other day, I know those Hollywood tours
that go around in that, like, bus thing.
He pulled up beside the bus and his raindrover,
roll down the window and it was like talking to the people
and they're all freaking out. They're all like Germans
and shit. Oh, that's so good. Oh my god
it's Denzel Washington. I love him famous people
cool. Yeah, he was lovely. I'd be sick.
A-lister. Definitely.
Yeah, definitely. He's one of those ones you just say
Denzel and you know who you mean. Exactly. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I also think
he'd be the most impressive celebrity to beat in a fight
that you could beat. Remember we did that? Like which celebrity
could you actually beat in a fight that would
be impressive? Because Denzel, that's
impressive if you could beat him. He is pretty old.
Only was the only person that
Carl just sent me a text
We're live on air
I was like oh it must be something important
that I can add to the break about
Dinsale Washington
No it's just a link to a Italian restaurant in Mount Eden
Far out
Okay where is it
Where is it
Paging passenger Ash London
Please make your way from the departure lounge
She's all good
She's going to win it
We've got a little tally of who's been in the departure lounge
This year
And Ash man you are six
I'm four Clint three
and I think that that is
Okay with that.
Clint's modest.
I think Clint needs to have a few more points.
I feel comfortable with all.
Seeing all the texts, appreciate you guys, hey.
Thanks, Brent.
Thanks, Shelly, oh, love you, Dad.
And if you don't text often,
chuck your name on your texts,
then we can save it.
Yeah.
So next time you do, we know who it is.
Producing EPS?
I've prepared a little special tribute
to the callers for producer Dari today as well.
Oh, I love that.
Oh, how good.
Some of our best callers of the year.
We'll get to that while, after seven?
Okay.
Do you guys what Mac is?
breakfast. We could do it in six as well.
Do you guys got Maca's breakfast?
Yes, please, Ash.
Oh, it's a Christmas miracle.
It really is. It really is.
What about you, Santa? You sit in there in the corner. Do you want anything?
All have a hush, proud!
Okay.
All right, good.
Actually, rather than first call of the day, let's do the...
Is the call a montage? Ready to go?
It's all good to go, brother.
Okay, let's do that.
And then...
Oh, I don't sausage, Rick Buffet! Jesus, right?
Clint Megadam!
Let's go!
Normally on a Friday, we do the producers diary.
of the week and things that we've found funny.
We're looking back at highlights from this year, specifically yours.
Yeah.
And there's so many.
So how long is this?
Well, this is eight minutes, but I'm imagining it's got a little bit of a tail on the end.
Yes, we can talk.
One minute tail.
Or maybe it's eight minutes, in which case I'm okay with that.
Yeah, okay.
So if you have contributed to the show, listen out.
Who knows, you might feature in this.
And if you don't, still love you.
Okay?
Yeah, of course we do.
Yes, yes, easy.
Always love you.
A great man named Alexander Graham Bauer
created the world's first telephone.
For years, the phone's been used
to connect families, save lives
and deliver some of the most important messages
in the world.
I'm not quite sure Alexander had this in mind.
And they fucking originated.
We let's a wee waxed vagina.
Oh, fuck that.
Well, maybe you're a shit radio.
He did take his talk, but not the name.
Big, fat, hairy fem.
Hatsamaria, good morning, and welcome back
to another producer diary.
We're wrapping up another year on the Edge Breakfast show
and we can't thank you our amazing listeners enough.
You make our show so much fun with your amazing calls
so instead of producer diary this week,
we're doing The Caller Diary.
Now, we might be the people calling them
but some of the greatest moments on the phone this year
came from Clint's parents, Christine and John,
including this one after the Big Bang.
Oh, John boy was in good spirits that morning.
Hello.
Oh, he's daddy, perky.
Hey, Daddy Perky, John.
Oh, yeah.
I wasn't. I wasn't a few hours ago. I was quite exhausted.
Okay, Dad.
Oh my God, amazing.
I'm too honest.
Where is, Mum?
I'm exhausted.
Okay, she's there.
We absolutely love listening to your overshed stories here on the breakfast show.
And this one with listener Jackie might just take the cake after receiving a rogue hair cut.
It got out of hand and, you know, I started spinning my bits around and said, well, I...
Oh, bloody, hell.
I'm sorry, thank you, man.
Right, I'm taking my pants off.
But anyway, it got really out of hand.
The manager came, the cops got called,
and we sorted it all out on the street.
As I was leaving, I turned around and said to the guy,
you're going to die, and they're fucking arrested me.
So I got arrested for threatening to kill.
Wow.
Well, I mean, did say you're going to die.
Well, I don't know how they could be interpreted differently.
Every morning just after 6 a.m.,
we take a first caller of the day,
and we love finding things in common with you,
even with our parents as well.
You and Dan's mum do the same.
thing for a job.
Oh really?
No way.
What does she do?
Oh, you work at a shoe store?
We've literally waxed vaginas.
Oh, okay.
I don't think my mum's ever done that.
And Elise got handed something and she ran with it.
Earlier in the year, one of our favorite segments was beat that coincidence.
The only issue is you have to get that coincidence past Dan first.
I was married in the past and my partner was married in the past and we both had the same wedding song.
Oh, that's good.
That's a good one.
What was the song?
It was Eros.
I don't want to miss a thing
I don't want to miss a thing
Yes
You've sort of ruined it a bit there
Vanessa
Oh, my dad
Thank you Vanessa
Another one of their favourite segments
from 2025
Is unique names
And although Dan's usually the one
getting trolled
I think it was listener Stephen
doing the trolling this time
Last name is this doc
Yes cock
Stephen and I have fun with it
Have you
Yeah because I know that
A lot of people
They have like
And Stephen are you married
Yes I am married
And my wife's last name
is um millin i guess she didn't take his cock yeah lucky her name's not eden well she did take his
cock but um not the name oh stephen get off it's not all the game of silly buggers though
sometimes we get to do some pretty cool stuff as well including getting listener d on on the phone
for redemption of easy money with a bit of a twist your letter today is p finish this sentence
you shall not a bridge over a freeway isn't over
Oh, did I get it?
Oh, my God, dang on.
Oh, I'm the passing team.
Yeah, you passed the test.
Oh, I wish I had teeth from my head.
I'll be able to smile a bit better.
Oh, man.
You can get one porcelain veneer for $800.
Oh, I'll pass.
And finally, one of the greatest calls from this.
had to be with this listener and her wee two-year-old daughter.
I was in a shower with her when she was little, as you do.
And she was just looking up at me.
And then she goes, Mom, when I grow up,
I'm going to have a big, fat, hairy fanny,
just like you, aren't I?
And I was like, oh, my God.
All those, just take out one of the words, two of the words,
but all the words.
Very, hairy fanny.
And you know what's so funny, Sue?
Is that from her height
It would have just been right there
Right in her face
All righty
And that is producer diaries
Wrapped up for 2025
I hope you will have
The very merry Christmas
With your family
We love you so much
And all the engagement
You bring to our show
We'll see you same time
Same place next year
For another producer diary
Bye
Yay
Yeah
Good on your bleepia
Yeah
Yeah
What a god
Some callers hey
Yeah
You guys are so funny
Oh some laughs
As a Christmas gift
From us to you Ash
Would you like Dan and I take care of a scandal for you next?
I would love that more than life.
We haven't agreed on this clip.
Thank you.
That's the best Christmas President of Friend could give me
because I got nothing.
I was too busy ordering Macas.
Yeah, that's true.
She did do that for us.
All right, let's see what we can find, Dan.
If you want Ash Brown, I 100 of the edge, by the way.
They're about 18 bucks each on Uber Eats.
$5 for an Uberite hash brown.
Oh, 800 the year.
Plus delivery.
Calm down, eh.
I'll do it, though.
You know what?
Give me a call now.
If you really want one, I'll say if you live anywhere in,
New Zealand, call it right now.
I 800 at the edge.
I'll send Maccas to you right now, first person.
As long as they want to have Uber Eats.
I've got their address and I'll send it to them, okay?
Hey, generous.
Get in.
Well, the phones are lighting up.
Okay, quick.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Gossip of entertainment.
Clint Megan Dan with Ash London.
Scandal.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence in a movie together
and they've been doing a bit of a press tour lately.
And Leonardo DiCaprio has come out with a bombshell
during this press tour where Jennifer
Lawrence asked him if he's watched or re-watched Titanic.
And this was his answer.
Like there was Titanic and then there was Boogie Nights and they kind of
overlapped.
Maybe it could have worked out.
Have you re-watched Titanic?
No.
Oh, you should.
I haven't seen it.
I bet you could watch it as a movie now and it's so good.
I don't really watch.
Maybe I do.
Some movies I've watched.
You watch your old, your movie?
No, I've never made something like
Titanic. But if I did,
I would watch it.
But I mean, do you put, when was the last time you did that?
This is funny. This is. Um, when I was
really drunk, I put on
American Hustle.
And then my assistant went to
download something. But did you do it alone? Were you
showing some... Showing people?
Oh, and being like, yeah, this is what this is going to be fine.
No, I was drunk and I was like,
I wonder if I'm good at acting when I
put on American Hustle. And I don't remember
what the, what the answer was.
He is funny.
I mean, I don't know if people are still shipping relationships.
I'd love to see Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence together.
I want to see with anyone at the 30.
She's so funny, so pretty, it's so talented.
She's too good for him.
Yeah, she is.
Nobody needs a woman to like bring, like a woman to, like bring out the best in him.
She's too much woman for Leo.
I'm just like, you know, I know he loves his like under 25 supermodels and cool, whatever.
But at some point, he's going to realize that it's all dead.
Dead ends.
It's all dead ends, and he needs, like, just a real incredible woman who he's obsessed with.
We glazed over the fact, though, that Leonardo DiCaprio, and it sounds like he said,
I don't know if we can get a little replay of his answer there, but he goes, I've never seen it.
Yeah, when she starts pushing him.
He's never seen Titanic.
Can you think of that?
She almost doesn't pick up on that, eh, Dan, when he goes, I haven't really watched it.
And then he goes, I don't know if I've actually, if I've ever seen it.
It's almost like she didn't catch that, because you'd go, wait, stop.
And it is a common thing for a lot of the great actors, like Leo, I know.
Maggie Smith day Maggie Smith who passed away last year
she was the same, never watched anything
she was in because, and her defence was
when she does the scene,
that's it, she can't change it. So she hates
rewatching stuff because she goes, I hate the decision
that I made there. It's like when you listen
back to your postcode playlist and you're so
hard on yourself. I can't, I can't listen. We're enjoying
it so much and you're like, oh. But it's not
about watching it to change it. It's about
watching it to just admire
something that you've created
that is
like an incredible film. And also
what Titanic was to shoot
and what it was to watch
I think a very different experience is
I'd be watching everything I did
I'd be so up myself
It just blows my mind
It blows my mind
That it's the biggest film of all time
It is, it genuinely is
I think it was one of the highest grossing
And it's his role in it
Jack Dawson is probably one of the most iconic roles
He's never seen it
Mental
Crazy
Hey
Scandal is all thanks to hydrofacial
It's the ultimate glow treatment
for Christmas and summer from moist skin.
What did I say half an hour ago when I was putting my makeup on?
Ash said, I don't think my skin has ever looked better.
And it hasn't. You know what? You look about two or three years younger.
Oh, that's the best. I'm getting upset.
This was the three of us actually having the hydrofacial treatment.
The sensation you're going to feel is a cool liquid coming out of a hard tip.
It shouldn't be uncomfortable or anything.
Dan, have you ever had cool liquid coming over to hard tips before on your face?
Not since we spent the night together.
Sorry, I didn't know that was the...
And I'd look 10 years younger that night.
Hey, if you do want to check it out.
Moise skin.comotined Z, M-O-O-I.
You baby feel young again, Clint.
Moiskin.comotin Z, use the edge for $50 off a deluxe hydrophacial.
I'm not allowed to quit you.
You guys are naughty. Last day, you might not be back next year.
Clint, Megan Dan.
You missed this yesterday, Ash, with you being away, but we had Danielle's grandfather on.
Gaga?
Yeah, come on.
He was on.
Did he do his marathon?
Yeah, his real name's Don, but I think they call him Gaga as, like, granddad.
So cute.
Maybe it's in different languages are, like, I don't know, it's not Italian, but you know what I mean?
Like, is it some sort of language where it means, Gaga means grandfather?
Or maybe when she was a baby, she couldn't say grandpa, so she just said Gaga and that's stuck.
I think actually, she did message us too.
This morning, here it is.
She said, I've gone up early to be able to hear the last show.
Genuinely a massive thank you.
I headed back to work at the start of this year.
I look forward to my driving to work
because I get to listen to you guys.
It starts me off with a great day.
You guys are so amazing from letting me cry on radio
and having my four-year-old daughter say a cute laughing hello,
which I have somewhere.
I'm going to find that.
That made our day that day.
That gorgeous little laugh.
And having Gaga on the radio, having his own interview.
You guys are awesome.
It's being so cool.
So this was her granddad, who she was raving about,
saying that he went to Hawaii to run a marathon.
Oh, you know, we just stupidly ran the marathon again for the third time.
A marathon?
So, Don, you're 80 years old.
In another two weeks, I'm 82.
I've never been a runner in my life.
My God.
I said, oh, well, what I've got to do?
She said, well, you've got to get a pair of shoes.
I went down and got a pair of shoes, and I walked the lamppost,
and then I shuffled one, and then I walked one.
I shuffled two, and then I walked one and shuffled three.
And after about three weeks, I could actually run.
Wow.
And I just carried on, and four years ago, I did my first one.
Oh, my God.
Mental, hey.
That's so amazing.
So crazy.
I'm sitting on my lazy ass thinking I'm too old to do anything.
Stuff on your face with Maccas right now.
As you speak.
Well, I did a half marathon, a couple of them, and I nearly died, genuinely, and he's 82.
We did a full one.
It's so cool.
Wild, eh.
What a guy.
This is a four-year-old, too.
the way, we found it.
Thank you.
Oh, God.
So we appreciate
your and your family's contribution,
Danny after the show this year.
But we didn't really get a chance
to feel calls on this
about who's the old person showing you up.
Like, do you have someone in your life
like Danny's granddad
who's running marathons at 82
or just someone at your workplace
where you're like, geez man,
they're like inspirational?
Yeah.
Are they still like traveling around the world
in their 90s?
You know, like they're over in Sicily.
right now. Twice your age, doing twice as much.
Yeah. I love inspiring old
people. Like
living your best life in
the golden years of your life.
That's so cool. Do they have like a caravan,
camper van, they just travel around in their 80s.
I want to do that. My parents are doing.
That pissing away my inheritance. I'm talking about
old people who show you up. If you've
got one that you work with, they're related to
0,800 to let us know. What are they doing?
What's going on?
Great text came through. Imagine the kid who's one
granddad, he's Tony Hawk, the most
Famous skater of all time.
And the other is Kurt Cobain,
lead singer of Nirvana.
I know.
That's right.
I mean, there is people out there that have incredible grandparents like that.
You know?
Anybody that's like a rock star.
To my grandpa.
What about?
He was a good guy, apparently.
He never met him.
My great-grandfather did 10 pull-ups at his 90th birthday party
because granddad was teasing him about getting old.
That's amazing.
Ten pull-ups at 90?
I couldn't do one now.
I guess it just proves if you keep it something and you're consistent with it.
Yes.
You'll get better at us, true.
Okay, Crystal joins us on 0-800-the-edge.
Morning Crystal.
Hello.
So this is your husband's granddad.
What's he doing that's incredible?
So he just tried to beat the world record of the 100-meter road for his age category.
So I think it's over 90 because he just turned 90 a couple of weeks ago.
Yeah, and how quickly did he do it?
Did he get it?
He didn't quite get it.
He got it in 21.7 seconds, so he missed it by 1.3 seconds.
21 seconds!
Roll 100 metres.
I couldn't do it in under a minute.
That's insane.
I know a lot of people have tried since then and most can't do it.
Shoutouts to move.
What a champion.
The fact that your granddad is even attempting world records at 90s.
It's cool.
Yeah.
And he did it to raise money.
for a special cause?
Yeah, for dementia.
His wife passed away of dementia, so he's done it all for her.
That was exactly like Garga yesterday.
He said that his wife passed away from dementia a few years ago.
So even the fact that they can push on with life after losing the love of their life.
Yeah, because you so often hear people at that age, they're like, oh, well, they're gone.
I'll just sit here and wait until it's my turn, but he's still grabbing life by the ball.
It's just so wonderful.
Well, good on you, Crystal, and good on you for championing.
You were amazing.
Love your move.
Granddad.
Awesome.
Thanks, thanks, babes.
And Nico, your grandma's 97 and still doing what?
Playing tennis.
What a legend.
Is she running the baseline or is she just sit up at the net and volley?
Honestly, I haven't watched her for a long time playing tennis,
but there was actually a little story on her on 7 Sharp, not longer.
And you did get to see her, but she was pretty good.
Like, she was like doing a backhand, like whacking it over and stuff.
What a legend.
I suppose even if she's doing doubles, she's still got to serve.
So you're still, you know, you're still throwing it up and jumping in there.
Like, that's incredible at almost a hundred.
Like tennis is a very physical sport.
Is it a name Marty?
Yeah.
Yeah, founder on 7 Sharp.
I'm going to watch that video now.
We'll maybe get a bounce back so you can see Marty playing tennis.
That's so cool.
Imagine getting school by your 97-year-grandma in tennis over the summer.
Is she like Maria Sharapova?
Does she make the noises when she hits them?
Oh, look at her.
She's looking at her visor on and a little zippy.
She looks like a woman you don't want to miss with.
She's got her addie-dast visor on.
It's actually quite funny.
She messaged me like the day or two after and was like,
hey, like I injured my shoulder or something.
And I'm a physio.
So she's like, do you think there's something you can help me out with?
I was like, I had this weird thing on TV.
And I slipped and fell and hit my shoulder beforehand.
So I don't think my shot was quite as good.
Oh, my gosh.
What a letter.
Someone else's text through, thanks for you called Nico.
Their great auntie carried the Olympic torch for Queenstown, aged 102.
Oh.
1002.
I think I couldn't even pick up a torch at that age.
Sarah's Omar, her grandma, is 102, and she still drives and is recovered from a broken hip at 100.
Be honest, sir, should she be driving?
Yeah, I feel like she slipped through the cracks there.
We need a transport authority.
A little loosey-goosey here in New Zealand, it seems, hey?
They're 102-year-olds behind the wheel.
Clint Megyn Dan, The Edge, 1K, E, Z.
Practice makes perfect, and now you can play anytime online.
Two by seven, final show of the year.
Let's see if we can get ourselves as a winner.
All thanks to Novice Glass.
Every Novice Glass job helps plant native trees,
and they've donated over 20,000 to date.
Wow, we're going to my hometown of Howick
with Victoria, good morning.
Good morning.
How's Howick this morning?
It's in the eastern suburbs of Auckland.
It's good just on my way to work.
Oh, lovely.
Lovely.
Driving to work's a long way anywhere from Howick.
Yeah, right.
Unless she works in Howick.
Yeah, in which case, nice.
What do you put in a thousand bucks towards
if we managed to get this done, Vic?
Something towards my house.
We've just got, bought a new house.
So either my mortgage or my mortgage or my mortgage.
In Auckland, it must be massive.
Especially in Howick.
beautiful place.
Yeah.
All right, well, let's get it done.
Ten answers.
In 30 seconds, wins you the cash.
You can pass, and if we've got time, we'll come back.
Can I ask one quick question, sorry?
It says you work as a nurse at a fertility clinic.
Do you get to ever make the call to tell people they're pregnant,
or is that not part of your job?
I do.
I do that every day.
Oh, what a joy.
That's so heaven.
I know that'd be the opposite, which would be hard phone calls,
but those lovely phone calls would feel bloody good.
That must be the coolest job.
Choosing the music, you're going to play.
in behind the news
it would be great as well.
No, it's not like radio.
Change, change your life.
Change it all.
You are pregnant.
Okay, well I do have that song ready to go
if you win.
So it's there.
You just got to give us 10 answers.
Good luck.
Your letter today is why.
Why for yo, yo, yo.
What's up, Victoria?
Okay.
Beginning with why, can I please have an animal?
A job
A yacht driver
A three-letter word
Yep
Something you use to bake
Pass
Something you can do with your mouth
Y'all
Something outside
Pass
A game
A film title
Yes man
A girl's name
yonder something round
oh Victoria
I tell you what
Why is a hard word
So you did well
And yacht driver
Turn for the books
I think you're going to pay it
I think you mean to skip up
But maybe you only do yachts
Yeah
I go to if this says yacht driver
commonly known as a yachtie
Or captain
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah driver's good
An animal could have been
There's a lot
but I think Yak was the one that came to mind for me.
You have a wonderful Christmas, Victoria.
Thank you for helping all those Farno's become Farno's.
We love you, Dahl.
Have a great new year.
Thank you.
Thanks, thanks, much.
I love this song.
Clint McGendan.
Clint McIndan with Ash London.
She's a full house, all four of us, on the show this morning for the final show of the year.
Do you think the radio is going to implode because there are two girls on?
Well, I'll soon find out.
Yeah.
I think so far so good, babe.
Yeah.
Wait, if you're going to talk Meg, let me know
because I'll turn your mic on and ashes off.
Just in case, just in case.
That's good from him.
Don't want it to be confusing.
Don't encourage him, Daniel.
I know, sorry, Clint.
You should be much more scared of Meg and I.
What's that?
No, hold on a second.
What's that?
Did you just apologise to you?
How the hell does that happen?
Her husband's a boss.
That was fascinating.
That's all you've got to do.
You've got to get a guy to oust Adrian.
and then you just wield all the power.
Yeah, he'd be a good leader as well.
Dan has a number.
We're going to change somebody's life.
Thanks to Eye Institute.
One of the best things I ever did,
getting my eyes lasered,
and we're giving away laser vision correction.
It's about seven grand.
If you can afford to save up
and get it done,
it's the best money you'll ever spend.
I think there's payment plans as well available
if you can't afford the lump sum.
And also, on top of that,
a $2,000 travel voucher,
so you can go and travel anywhere in the country
to see your family properly?
Where would you go if you could finally see
and you could go anywhere in the world?
What would you've paid to go and see?
You go down south, wouldn't you?
Queenstown.
I'd see the mountains.
Yep.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah, no, I'd do that.
I'd probably also got to like,
like Fiji somewhere.
We could see the fishies underwater.
I thought you're serving New Zealand.
No, I said anywhere in the world.
Oh, shit.
No, quite not Queensdown there.
$2,000.
I'm sorry.
You'd go somewhere that you need vision, you know,
like a colourful place.
Yeah, like Taj Mahal.
Yes.
Claybird shooting.
No.
Okay.
I mean, live your life.
You could do that down the road if you want it.
Yeah.
Okay, do we put the call through?
Yes.
I'll say the name of the person, but when they answer.
Hopefully they're surprised.
Hello.
Hey, Claire.
How was it?
Charlie, sorry.
Charlie, yeah.
Yeah, morning.
Sorry.
Clint still needs a redo.
I need to top up and look like Claire.
Actually, Charlie, if I get close in squid.
Trust me, your one will work much better than Clint.
Hey, yeah, Charlie, you might have worked out what's going on.
text eyes to 3343 over the last couple of weeks
and registered to get laser vision correction thanks to eye
institute. Amazing! Yes! Yes.
You are going to get your eyes laser
and you are going to have better than 2020 vision.
Oh my God, that's incredible. That is the best
news ever. Thank you so much.
Well it says here we've got some information on you Charlie
and it says that you've been blind as a bad since a child
so your eyesight's been bad for a long time. Your whole life.
Yeah, my whole life.
since I was a kid.
So, yeah, if I don't have contact lenses, I can't even drive with just normal glasses
because I don't have the 360 vision.
Yeah.
Has laser been something you've always kind of thought about or wanted to do?
Yeah, I've always wanted to be done.
But, I mean, it's just money that always needs to be spent elsewhere.
There's always other bills, you know?
Of course.
Well, now you don't need to worry.
Yeah, and where are your family?
I know, that's amazing.
Are they your family live in the same city as you or no?
No, my parents live in Scotland, actually.
So they are very far away, yeah, and I'm an only child.
Well, we've got a $2,000 travel voucher as well,
so you can go and see your family properly this Christmas.
All thanks to I'm the Institute.
Oh, my God, thank you so much.
You can do all the things that people with great vision
have scuba diving, claybird shooting, and other things.
I feel like claybird shooting in Scotland feels very apropos.
You know what I mean?
You can wear like one of those hats with the tart on it.
I reckon.
Yeah.
Thank you so much, guys.
This is incredible.
Oh, you're so welcome.
One incredible Christmas gift.
Take the first step towards
Visual Freedom with Eye Institute.
Glass is free sight in as little as 15 minutes.
Incredible.
Have the best Christmas, Charlie.
Thank you so much, guys.
Merry Christmas.
You see you.
Oh, what a lovely lady.
Imagine that.
Having no of it, like, hardly any vision for your whole life
and then just like that.
You'd be annoyed?
You know what happened?
I was annoyed when I did get it done
that I didn't do it way sooner.
As with most things like that
You're like put off
You put off, you put off
And then you do it
You're like, what?
It took me so long
But obviously financially
You know, it can be a big hurdle
So so happy that we could help Charlie
Do you think we have room for one more
In the studio?
I know there's four of us
I was hoping I could talk to Santa next
Oh no Santa's done
He's gone back to the north point
I did see
I saw some red fabric
Kind of walking in the other end
Visitor parking next to me
Was he?
He had his Christmas party last night
So he's a bit dusty
Was Rudolph in the visitor park waiting for him on the slide?
just like little tucked-up little little cutey little there.
He wasn't there when I was out there.
So interesting that you saw him, but he didn't.
Yeah.
I just arrived.
Do you want open the door, Megan, just see if he actually is there?
Because we can bring him in.
We'll chat to him during the air break.
Oh, Santa.
Hello.
Oh, oh.
Merry Christmas, everybody.
Hey.
You're back, baby.
He's back.
Brilliant stuff.
Yes.
Hey, Santa, I've got a little request.
I don't know if you can help me out next.
Do you?
Yeah.
Goody me.
I didn't send your letter this year
and I just got one thing I want.
Well, you're on the naughty list, Clint.
We know that now.
Oh, yeah.
I wish you'd just hurry up and do it.
Okay.
We've got to do it next.
We've got to play music.
Goody, another song.
Clint, Megan Dan.
My wife drives me nuts complaining about how her shoes are always uncomfortable.
Uh-oh.
They don't fit.
Oh, my feet are sore feet.
And I'm like, why don't you just buy comfortable shoes?
Like bad, those podiatrist ones.
Those are very good ones.
You can get the insoles as well, can't.
Yeah, there's lots of options.
They keep growing, don't they as well, in our life?
And I have a baby.
Yeah, I gained a whole size.
Me too.
Rude.
What?
Yeah, your feet, bones expand and when all your other, and often they don't go back.
So I've got all these size 38, like heaven shoes.
Can't fit into them.
Really?
And it's every baby, by the way, so I've gone up another.
Oh, great.
So what are you size 13 like me now?
She's had two children, darling.
children, darling.
Goodness me.
Just because you've got big shoes
and you want everyone to think you've got a big dick.
No, it doesn't.
It doesn't translate.
It does not.
I've been looking for a pair of just like all black, cool sport shoes
that I can just, you know, wear over summer.
Like runners?
Yeah, kind of.
Yeah, for whatever.
Just like versatile.
Okay.
And I went into a foot locker and after searching for ages,
I finally found a pair.
And they were expensive, but I was like,
I don't care I've been looking for so long.
You deserve it.
The problem was, while I was trying them on,
my phone started ringing.
And my kids pulled it out of my pocket, and it was my accountant,
which I wouldn't have answered the call in that moment.
And they were like, here, Dad, and they answered and hand it to me.
Ew.
In the throes of trying on shoes and talking to my accountant,
I don't feel I did the thing that our parents would make us do.
And I walk around the shop.
In them enough.
The length is fine, but they're so skinny,
and they hurt my feet so much.
And I can't wear them.
That's the only time in life when you try on shoes, eh?
you do some of those lunges and like I do
so many different moves when I try and choose
that I'd never do normally just to make sure that they
fit. There's some stores you can take shoes back.
I know but the problem is
I was like I found the shoes
I love them and I put the box
put the receipt in the box and I threw in the recycling bin
and it was recycling day the day I got home
so I don't have the box or the receipt
and I can't wear them because I tried to put them on this morning
and it was so sore and my wife's like you're going to wear
those otherwise I can't obviously give her
streets them out.
Strishbe, you need to do all the tricks that we've done in our lives.
What fabric are they?
Because if they're leather, you can take them to a foot stretcher.
Oh, they're not leather.
What are they?
Can I get Sandra in?
Does he know anyone?
Does he know anyone at Foot Locker
who would exchange a brand new pair of shoes
without receipt if I can show on my bank statement?
Or maybe the elves can fashion, like, make the shoes bigger.
But I don't know.
Coblers.
Santa, do you know anyone at Foot Locker
that might be able to do me a solid
and make an exception so that my wife doesn't just, you know,
be an absolute ballbuster on these new pair of shoes.
She said I shouldn't have bought.
Oh, sorry, I'm coming in now.
Yeah, hey, Santa.
Hello.
Well, you know, my contact at Footlock, I do have one there
because a lot of kids want Nike shoes
and all that kind of thing.
Yes. Did you keep the box? I missed that part.
No, I threw the box out.
No, then you can't get a return. I'm sorry, Clinton.
Well, no, but I thought maybe if anyone could pull some strings,
it'll be you.
I don't break rules. I don't need the shoes.
I already have the shoes. I just need you to help me exchange them.
Why don't you give them to your friend, Dan, who's got a size 13 shoe?
He can wear them in, stretch them for your little 11-sized feet.
And that way, you have a good shoe.
You don't need to exchange them.
Everybody's happy.
I don't think Santa does, like, exchange lists.
I think it's like present list.
Yeah, I don't think he's asking too much.
And maybe, as a solid end, to repay Dan, I could wear his pants.
No, ho, yes.
And stretch out some of us, like, jeans.
I think it's a bit mean, click, but I mean, you could give it a go.
It's horrible.
That's on the dorsy left for sure.
That is.
I don't think of anything.
You just keep the shoes as they are.
Clint, me and Dan.

And now you can play anytime online.
One past eight, the Edge.
Let's give away a thousand bucks.
It's the last time I'm playing easy money for the year.
Let's finish strong with somebody who knows what they're doing.
10-9s and 30.
seconds, starting with the letter Ash gives you
Winsie a grand. You can pass if we've got time, we'll come
back. Let's go to Warnika this morning
and Hamiota, is that how, am I saying that
correct? Hey, boy.
Hummy order! Last one for the year, mate.
Let's see if we can get it done.
All right, my love, your letter today is R
4. Really good effort.
Really good effort at our
easy money today. You ready to go now?
Which is actually what we hope we don't have to say to you at the end
because that makes it sound like he's lost. Oh, really good effort,
mate. Yeah, but not quite enough.
Yeah, let's smash it.
Okay, beginning with R.
Can I please have an animal?
Rabbit.
A celebrity.
Roger Federer.
A flower.
Red rose.
Something in the sky.
Path.
Something you drink.
Red wine.
Something at a concert.
A record.
Type of dance.
Rage.
Something you find at a wedding.
Roses.
Something you find in space.
Racket.
Something you shout.
Oh, we doubled up on the rose.
I think you're a bugger then.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was a good effort, though.
People don't usually do that.
They go,
until the word comes to it.
I think that's a really good.
That's a good method.
Yeah, well, well, done, ha miyota.
Hey, bro, I tell you what you can do.
Consolation Prize, I can send you a double pass to our must-see movie
Anaconda and Cinema's Boxing Day, if you like, bro?
Oh, shit, yeah.
That's your camera.
There's a movie there in Wada Canal, or do you have to go to go to
Queenstown for that?
Where's the cinema?
Yeah.
What cinema?
Oh, you can use it.
You can use it, events, hoits.
Yeah, anywhere you go.
Oh, yeah.
We don't have either of that.
Oh, okay, well then what do you ask, mate?
What cinema is that?
All of them?
No, we got none.
Okay, well, you definitely can't use them in the no cinema.
You can go for a long drive to Christchurch or something.
He seemed so excited, too.
He was like, oh my God, yeah, movie tickets.
I've never been.
What's a movie there?
I'm your order.
You hold there, bro.
We'll grab your details.
You have a Merry Christmas, man.
Thanks for playing.
Thanks, thank.
Yeah, good on you, mate.
Also, big shout out to Novice Glass as well,
getting on board and partnering us with easy money.
And also now that's what I call knockout as well.
They jumped on that.
Oh, they're good, aren't they?
Yeah, man.
If you've got a chip or a crack on your windscrew in over summer,
you know where to go.
We don't know what's going on next day tonight.
These two girls are being scurling away on something behind the scenes,
messaging each other back and forth.
95% of the time we're messaging each other
about sad things, like reunions on Instagram
Yeah, yeah, Ash will just tag me in something
That's going to make me cry and just say sorry
Yeah, and then I start threatening her
I'm serious about that
Yeah, but some of the threats get quite graphic
It's just got to stop
Yeah, but it's not that, we're not doing that next
It's something nice
Okay, good
Clint, Meg and Dan
Oh, oh my gosh
It's the last radio show
Of the year
Merry Christmas.
Last one.
And Meg's been away on maternity leave
looking after her second daughter
and Ash's been filling in for how many months now?
I think it was six months in the end.
July, August.
Yeah, yeah, true.
Because my daughter is 25 months.
So, yeah, about...
I don't believe that.
Remember the day you called up?
We didn't even know if you were having a boy, you're a girl.
I didn't even know if you were having a boy.
We're all cried.
Yeah.
So yes, look, everything feels right again in the world.
Meg's back.
It's time for me to get on out of here.
not, you know, like I am happy about, I'm not going to lie, because, you know, but I'm
sad I'm going to miss you guys. So Megan and I have been working on something, a bit of a
proper handover, which we'll do next. But before we get into that, and you know how much
I hate to be serious. You know how much I hate to be emotional. It's just very off-brand
for me, you know, I don't like crying. You're a prankster, joke star. Yeah, joke star.
I don't think being nice to people. It's the first time I've seen you double shucker in six
months, by the way. But I will say this, my loves. I have been working in
for my adult life, I don't know, 11, 12, 13 years.
And I have never in my life had as much fun as I have had on this radio show.
An absolute killer team of legends.
You've got Bella out there who looks 12 years old, but somehow manages to...
Maybe we shouldn't have hired her then.
She does.
She's got a baby face.
Somehow manages to put out, I think, the best radio content in the country.
maybe the world.
She's incredible.
She is so creative, so clever.
Bella, you are incredible.
Yeah, and because she's 12, we can pay a minimum wage.
Pay a minimum. Do we even pay her?
I don't know.
I mean, give vouchers.
Carl, the big dog steering the ship,
man, this man works so hard.
And sometimes we complain because there are too many interviews,
but that means you're doing your job really well.
And you've had a rough year.
It hasn't been easygoing for you guys.
But you have rocked up to work every single day,
with a wonderful attitude, getting it done,
never letting whatever's happening in your life
affect what happens in this room,
which is really hard to do with these hours.
It's really hard to not bring whatever's happening in.
And you were just a beautiful person.
I've loved bonding with you over weird health stuff.
Thank you for making me spend $180 New Zealand on water.
Which at the time...
They saw you coming.
Yeah, it felt like a great idea, but yeah,
look, probably a waste of money,
to if I'm perfectly honest.
Commission's worth of those.
you are getting commissions.
Thank you, Ashley.
That's very kind, thank you.
Bleepia, producer Nipia, my darling little boy.
And I say little boy, because look at that face.
He's such a sweetheart.
The biggest joy of this show is when we say something so funny
that your laugh goes through the glass.
That's how you know you've really nailed it.
Again, you just bring the most wonderful positive attitude to work every day.
And it's so obvious you love the work you do
and there's such joy in it.
And that radiates through and it makes life and work so much fun.
and I've just loved getting to know you this year
and it's just the start for you, my darling,
so thank you for everything.
We're so supportive.
The boys.
I'll start with Dan.
It would be really obvious for me to say,
just so creative,
you're the most creative person I've ever worked with
and that would be absolutely true.
But anyone that volunteers to come and pick you up
from a colonoscopy appointment shows like real friendship.
That was actually selfish on my end and I just wanted to see you high.
But I wasn't that high.
No, you weren't quite disappointed.
I wish I'd never done it.
But you, it's so much fun sharing a studio with you
because I know that you've just got us
and you'll always bring a laugh and a lull
and you're such a steady ship.
And I've learnt so much from you
and I've just so enjoyed getting to know you.
It's been a real honour.
I love how you speak about your wife, Hannah,
and that beautiful relationship you have
and you're an incredible dad to Georgie
and it's so obvious that he is kind of growing into a little you.
And you make all of us shine
because you're so funny and you're so creative
and that creativity brings all of us up
and you make us look so good
and I can't believe that you have not been on air for a decade
that just stuns me because you're incredible
and I adore you.
And Clint, again, it would be really obvious
for me to say you're the best anchor I ever worked with
and that would be true and so obvious
but the thing I've learnt from you most
that I'll take away is to try and be a fun parent.
I get so caught up in the weeds
of like just trying to do everything right
and be educational and discipline,
but you've taught me that perhaps the most important thing I could do
is just be a fun mum
and bring some more fun and joy to the household
and not be so worried about things all the time
because all I do is worry,
and that's really exhausting.
Meg has no idea what I'm talking about,
because she's never felt that way about being a mum worrying.
Oh, God, no, no, no, no.
Not only cool Carmen Collique today, I don't relate at all, yeah.
And Meg, I am going to talk about you next,
but I'm so aware of how scary it is to go on maternity leave
when you've worked so hard
to have a job
and to be good at your job
and establish yourself
and I would never want someone
remotely talented
replace me when I was on maternity leave
I would want someone real crap
because it's like
it's so vulnerable
the best of times
yeah well that's what we did
yeah that's what we thought
we were doing
turns out
fighting for Ash just stood in the seat
and it was bloody scary
because I've
I've looked up to
Ash for a very long time
as a broadcast
overseas in Australia and
there were many of private conversations with my
husband of like, am I doing the right thing, getting
somebody who I think is so iconic
in my seat but I knew the boys would have fun
with you and I'm so happy that you've bonded
with the listeners and they've loved you as much as I did
so. And I think the real winners in this
is Clinton and I because we get to work with two incredible
women every day. You are very
lucky. You know what a joy. You know it's better than one great
woman. Two. That's right. I just
feel so honoured. Honoured Meg that
you gave me this opportunity. Honoured all
you guys for being so welcoming because, and I'm not, I'm not lying here. I thought I was done
in radio. I honestly thought my career was done and I didn't think I had any more to offer.
And you've given me a second wind. Like you've helped me like rediscover something that I thought
I was done with and I've realized I love doing this and such an honour and I honest to God,
never thought I'd feel this again. So you've given me a second chance at it and I'm so grateful.
I've had the best, the absolute time of my life. I really mean that. So thank you guys and I'll
remember this forever. And we're stoked you're staying on
next year. Yes, I'm so happy that I won't
be saying goodbye to all the edges. I'll be
cheering you on so hard as you
as you continue to kind of honestly be
the best in the biz next year.
No, I'm kidding. We're not going to do it. We're not going to do a hucker.
We won't do a hucker for you.
Me guys, have never been bigger.
Oh my God. I'm not going to be sick in there.
Oh, my heart stopped.
We both just stopped.
Because we know he does do them.
Holy moly.
Okay, and this has been a really long break.
We've got a little present for you that actually producer Nipia did organise,
which we've got for you.
I'm going to hand it over, Nipia's going to explain it very quickly what it is.
So as you're a Kiwi now, I thought the most important thing that all Kiwis need
when they move to New Zealand is a greenstone necklace.
All us Māori people have one.
I've taken it down to some water to bless it for you.
Shut up!
And I've got that blessing here for you now.
So it's Etepon Namu to take
to watchy at Ash.
He was to know
Nautauauau to knowerua
and allahoe
in here,
comeacki,
we're gonnae
come to our
our own
our own
a cargowne
Hauiahuea
Taikie.
My darling!
Oh my God!
It's an effort.
You're not a guy to protect Asha
heart has settled in Alteiroa from the friend she has made here we welcome me welcome to our home
may become yours as well I never thought I would I would never thought I would find a home here
even like when I first moved here I never dreamed that I would be so happy and settled and feel
so loved and protected and my boy has been so loved and protected and welcomed by you beautiful
people I'm the lucky skill in the world this means so much to me I love you guys so much
We love you.
Thank you so much, Ash.
Thanks.
Thanks.
You're shanky to these.
Meg's like quite big efflation.
There's someone's hanky.
Okay, now your husband, our boss, is going to kill me.
This is the long spank we've done all year.
Sorry, darling.
It's going to be another long one next.
Sorry.
You've ruined all your good work, Ash.
Nine minutes, nightmare.
It's more of a podcast.
The girls have prepared something for us next.
I have no idea what it is, but we'll get there.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, oh my gosh.
The girls have prepared something.
for this morning
and you know what usually you mainly
Dan prepares a song often and they go
into the studio don't they Meg and they go with
Grand they get the auto tune on it
and they get celebrities involved
oh yeah and it's a big old production and you know
some people need that kind of support when it comes to
songs not us not us when it comes to singing
no it's not singing is she
and you know what I am disgusted that you have not
encouraged her in her vocal abilities
me one time got banned from singing for a year
I think it was longer than a year actually
Clint I was not allowed to sing at all I got
complete ban and there was
even a big celebrity that like chose that
for me. Yeah I think we left it
up to a celebrity to make the final call
and then we played the... I thought that'd be nice
because there's celebrity. Celebrities that I don't want people
don't... No, okay. No, I think any
celebrity could hear it. It does. So it's
time for me to hand over the microphone in the chair
back to beautiful Meg as it should be.
We wanted to do a handover. We didn't just want to
do any handover. We wanted to do it through
song and we're raw dogging it. That's
right. We're going to sing live over
a track. And we
haven't at all read each other
our lyrics. We've written these in private
about each other. Yes.
So I haven't heard what she's written and vice versa
that we've not practiced it.
When I say we're all talking, guys.
This feels like a 630 bit
that if it's any good, you replay it, I.
All right, wasn't going to come in that early.
They tried.
Clint hit the jams.
Do you want to jump on Dan's mic, Meg, because his mic is actually...
Actually, I'll get out of shot.
It has better...
It has better compression.
And then my, I mean, if you're not, I believe in you so much, Meg.
You're going to nail it.
You believe in me more than I believe in myself.
That's all you need is one person.
Okay.
Hit the germs, Clint.
Thank you, please do it.
Another baby girl was waiting to arrive.
To make a family with dating.
you and guy little did she know she'd won the lottery of life
Mama of the year and a dad who loves his wife you've been at home with your babies and what could be more right
I hope you had the time of your life
Oh you should have got first meeting at a struggle now oh god
Okay you got you got it you got this
You had to sacrifice the mornings with your son.
Show him you wear both hats work hard and still be mum.
The 4 a.m. alarms waking before it's light.
Scandal and gist the fart you gave them all your mind.
Good on you.
The people loved your hit the spot.
You made them feel alive.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's so stupid.
You know what's really embarrassing?
Dan thought the song was going to be about us.
How am I the embarrassed one here?
Wait, is that it?
No, we're going on.
Okay, good, good, good.
Okay, I think I'm going to start the beard again.
Oh, you're an idiot.
There was enough music left for me to do my two little bits.
Are you sure?
The verse.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Here you go, here you go.
Well, the beard was running out.
You only had 30 seconds left.
I get, I had two more bits, and I've edited it perfectly.
No, I don't want to do it anymore.
Yeah, I'll put that one with you.
I've started halfway through.
I don't know where we are now.
We've got the timing perfectly.
And then.
You buddy missed you terribly.
I'm not.
You can see that to me in an email.
No, here you go.
No, here it goes.
No, it's not how it works because I re-edited the whole track perfectly.
So get 40 seconds out of it.
So we'll be doing messages, WhatsApp.
Yep, and he's mansplaining as he goes.
He's like, oh, I don't trust these girls.
We've got the thing like that.
Don't try and give me the eye to say, jump in here.
You should add.
No, that wasn't.
This is still the main.
Hey, look, I'll be like if I thought this was not how it was going to end.
Yeah, but we thought that we wouldn't make a mistake.
My singing was perfect as well.
Your singing was beautiful.
Do you want me to read you at the last lyrics?
I've seen them acapella.
Okay. No, I literally have where I stop.
Here you go.
Mr. Terraply, while you are making life.
Now it's time to come back to your guys.
It's still a bit off down.
That's okay.
No.
Well, I think it's here.
We go.
Yeah, you're good.
No, it's still not.
It's still not.
Anyway.
Thanks for ruining our handover song.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you so much. You've had the time of your life with my boys.
I absolutely have.
Happy to be spinning back here, and I've had the time of my life at home.
So, um, what a disaster.
Hey, well, at least no one thinks you actually did go into the studio and record this.
No, you recorded.
That was 100% live.
Told you it was a 630 bit.
All I can say is...
This is an 8.30 business.
Are you stuffed now?
Don't blame us.
We had it perfect.
I'm glad I moved out of camera shop for that.
Oh, God.
When does cling growing maternity leave?
Please.
Yes.
Please, I beg of you, anybody
Five month break
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast
Always exciting when Muchu from 660 comes into studio
But even more excited when he brings him guitar
Yeah
Good morning, bro
Good morning
How you doing?
Merry Christmas too, I guess
Merry Christmas
Yeah
It's a busy time of year for you
This time of year
See, busy for everyone, man
I'm definitely like last little sprint until I hopefully
On Monday I can just turn on that
Oh, speaking of sprinting
Or Machu running up a hill
Do a bit of cardio the other day
Got to get it in
Get it, yeah
Got to get matched fit
Yeah, yeah
Those summer bods are made in early December
Yeah, yeah
So we've been playing your new song
So there's a big festival
That's coming up with you guys
We're getting into the festival
This is the first time you've done your own festival
660?
Yep
Sweet Home Altaroa
Roots and Country Festival
Jan 3 in Matakana
So
Like it's pretty
it's a brave endeavor
you know like
music industry
it's guess pretty tough
but it's kind of
been a tough for everyone
and you know
a lot of festival's been falling over
but you know
there's some of us out there
still trying to do
good on you
some cool shit
yeah man
it's like it wouldn't be
like a Kiwi summer
if you couldn't catch
660s playing somewhere
yeah
Matacana beautiful part of the country
as well
like so summery
as soon as you drive in there
I feel like you
hit summer
that kind of area
yeah yeah
what are you doing for Christmas
I'm going to head up to
Actually, should I say where I'm going up to?
I'm going up somewhere north.
Yeah, yeah.
What does a Christmas for you look like?
Do you get out in the water?
Do you fishing?
Honestly, I just want to take it right down, eh?
Just chill and definitely on the beach
I want to get in the water.
Not much of a surfer, but I do love the water.
Yeah.
Body surfing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A real art to it.
Yeah, boy, that is difficult, body surfing.
I can't even do it with a boogie board in a lot with the boarding.
Nightmare.
You should be able to body surf, I reckon, Dan.
Yeah, really? Okay, I'll get it to go.
I'll get it.
You've got the shape for it, I reckon.
Really?
I'm built like a...
I'm built like a bogey board.
How good, well, we played your new song last week
when it dropped on Friday for New Music Friday.
We made it.
Tell us about the song before you play an acoustic version for us.
Oh, dude, I always find that hard to kind of explain the songs.
I just hope that people will kind of like take their own interpretation from it.
But honestly, we're in a place where, like,
like we've been doing this for a while,
we've done a lot of really cool stuff
and we have every aspirational dudes
like, you know, we want to do more stuff
like have a festival or open a stadium in Christchurch.
And it really was just kind of,
I was thinking like through all where you've been
and all that I still want to do,
it's important just to kind of appreciate life
and where we are and live in the moment.
Take stock.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I know someone very close to me
who's very driven like you're describing.
Sometimes the problem with,
that is that when you achieve greatness, rather than spending time reflecting on what you've
just done, you go, cool, well, what's the next thing?
Because you're so driven that you go, now we've got to do something even better.
And you miss the moment of going, wow, we did that.
Yeah, 100%.
And also just a bit of fun, dude.
What happened having a bit of fun?
Yeah, man.
And especially coming to summer, I'm like, let's just have a bit of appreciation for.
We've got it pretty good here.
Yeah, we do.
We complain a lot of New Zealand about stuff, but when you take...
How good at that.
You, yeah.
We do.
But it is a beautiful place to live.
Yeah, we're very lucky.
I'm very lucky.
We're all pretty lucky.
And, yeah, that's my spell on the song.
But you can take, look, man, we made it.
We made it to the end of the year.
That was a bit of a pretty cool accomplishment.
It's our last day of day, man.
It's been a drag to the end.
Yeah, actually, that's probably symbolic for us.
We made it.
To the end of 2025 and so did you.
There you go.
Okay, let's hear it.
I can't wait.
I love the song.
I love the radio edit.
So let's hear the accountability.
acoustic one.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, no pressure.
This is going to be awkward for you,
just two dudes
just watching your play.
You used to play.
You were used to playing
like massive, bloody festivals
and arenas.
It is a real privilege, I suppose,
because people,
people to get to see 660 live
is an epic thing,
and we're getting this, like, intimate.
What a joy for us.
Performers.
Well, cool.
Are we all set up with these microphones?
That's cool.
Yeah.
Yeah, man, that's fine.
Oh, get a chill's already.
I can tell.
by the look in your eyes
that the stone's coming back again
and I can hear
in the sound of your voice
that you started crack
yeah
and after all of this time
I'd be lying
if I said that I knew
how to do it just right
because the truth is
I lose it sometimes
and I need you standing there
to remind me
that I
should say goodbye
to all the clouds
in my mind yeah I know it's been a bumpy road keep thinking there so far to go but take a look around it's amazing
if we made it here then we made it no better place I'd rather be all of my people here will be we never took the time to celebrate it but if we made it here then we made it
Oh, yeah.
Oh, do you remember the days we would say that we're going to make it out?
How crazy would it be if they could see us now?
Because we used to dream so damn big to be in a place that looks just like this.
Open your eyes or you just might.
miss everything that we always wished for i think it's time to look around and realize oh oh i know it's been a bumpy road
keep thinking there's so far to go but take a look around it's amazing if we made it here then we made it no better
place I'd rather be all of my people here with me we never took the time to celebrate it but if we made it here then we made it oh yeah take a look around it's amazing but if we made it here then we made it whoa yeah if you got a
drink that a raise it
because if we made it here
then we made it
Wow
He's too good man
It's not fair
It's actually not fair bro
We made it, New Zealand
We made it
That was incredible man
What a joy
Muchu from 660
I popped in yesterday after the show
And now performed that one for us
How good is he?
Yeah he's so good
Safe pair of hands
Yeah if you were wondering why the girls
were just really quiet
in that chat. It wasn't because they were also
you know, just... We weren't
here at the time. Flushed. Yeah.
They're speechless from the performance.
Yeah. Speechless.
Happens often. Although, you know,
wouldn't blame you to be nervous in front of much, eh? Yeah.
He's a sexy man. He is.
He's like, her crush.
She's kind of yours, though, so.
Oh.
Makes sense, because you and him are very similar.
Very similar.
Come from the same job.
Yeah, you and Clint too. Does it she have a crush on Clint?
Yep.
Yeah. I don't call it.
In her phone, it isn't Hannah.
It's Han, yeah.
I hate Hannah.
Funny quick.
There's got any funny comebacks there.
Clint's doing them all.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Karen's, good news.
You're off the hook for 2026.
Gen Zias have replaced Karen's with Ashleys and Jessica's.
Yeah, which on face value, really accurate.
When do we listen to Gen Z's?
That's right, exactly.
Jessica, I think
But not Jess
I think it's a Jessica thing
Not a Jessica
Yeah
But it's a sort of thing
You'll go up toward Jessica
And go oh hey Jess and Joe
It's Jessica
That's yeah
It's Jessica not Jeff
Okay well
What do you reckon Dan
Morning bro
Oh morning guys
How's again
Yeah good
Do you think it's accurate
Jess and Ash the new Karen's
Oh I don't know about Jess
But Ash
Ash yeah
Unfortunately I think that's accurate
I'm pretty sure
I hear
as complaining on the radio
earlier this year about fireworks,
shop displays.
Being too scary at Halloween.
Yeah, being too scary during Halloween.
They are. They scare young children and I'm sorry
but Guy Fawkes can eat my butt.
It is not a holiday I'm getting around.
It's funny because Guy Fawks was actually a dude
back in the day, so you've just gone.
Daniel, you're right, mate.
I need everyone to stop with the fireworks.
I am done.
It woke my child up last night.
How sick was I that day?
There was also, Dan, there was another little clip that we found of Ash.
Wakes my child up at 10.30 at night and ruins my aura ring sleep score.
Oh, never.
Once you start messing with my aura ring sleep score, that's personal.
It's such an Ashley thing to say, you.
God, yeah.
You know what?
When was it?
I'm willing, no, no, I'm willing to.
I'm willing to compromise and say that, yeah, Ashley is a bit of a Karen name.
Sometimes I dip into being Ashley, one percent of the time.
But the other 99, I'm a legend.
And you know what?
I will stick up for the Carins of the world now, the ones that have had it for many years being called a Karen.
If we didn't have the Carins of the world, we wouldn't have the customer service that we get every day.
Because they're the ones that keep them, you know, to account.
And I'm the one you want to go out to dinner where there's something's wrong with your order.
Yeah, not me.
You'd eat something that you're anaphylactic.
Oh, God.
Me and Meg are just eating around the pubs?
Yeah, 100%.
Going, yum, yum, yum.
Where are you eating?
Where do you have?
You're just the second time you've mentioned that you had them in your food.
Me one time went and got a pinocallada.
And what did they make it out of?
Oh, yeah, he was new.
He made a pinnacolada, which is, I think, coconut cream, cream and pineapple juice.
He made it out of lemon juice.
And I said, yum, yum, yum, put it on the menu.
No, delicious.
And they think they came back and were like,
oh my God, we're so sorry, made their lemon juice.
Meg's cup, empty.
She was like, yum, yum, yum.
It was porroth.
You had a puce and the lasagna?
Oh, lovely.
Yeah, I'll never complain.
Anything else?
Yeah, just some quickies.
That'd be nice.
Oh, yes, anyway.
And Ashley's just texted through to say,
those people can F off.
The thing is, Ashley, you texting that in, proves the point.
I'm with you, babe.
Holy shit, you made it the whole way through.
If you want more,
