Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:28 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.
Starting point is 00:00:50 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.
Starting point is 00:00:59 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.
Starting point is 00:01:05 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.
Starting point is 00:01:13 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.
Starting point is 00:01:22 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.
Starting point is 00:01:34 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.
Starting point is 00:01:56 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.
Starting point is 00:02:19 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.
Starting point is 00:02:39 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
Starting point is 00:02:54 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!
Starting point is 00:03:08 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.
Starting point is 00:03:21 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.
Starting point is 00:03:37 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.
Starting point is 00:03:58 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.
Starting point is 00:04:10 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.
Starting point is 00:04:25 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.
Starting point is 00:04:36 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.
Starting point is 00:04:45 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,
Starting point is 00:04:57 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.
Starting point is 00:05:11 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?
Starting point is 00:05:26 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.
Starting point is 00:05:37 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.
Starting point is 00:05:54 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.
Starting point is 00:06:03 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.
Starting point is 00:06:20 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.
Starting point is 00:06:31 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,

Starting point is 00:06:52 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
Starting point is 00:07:09 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?
Starting point is 00:07:26 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, she's been behind the scenes. She's been, because she's never pushed buttons before, like what Clint does on our show.
Starting point is 00:08:11 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?
Starting point is 00:08:23 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.
Starting point is 00:08:34 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?

Starting point is 00:09:16 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

Starting point is 00:11:28 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.
Starting point is 00:11:43 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.
Starting point is 00:12:00 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.
Starting point is 00:12:17 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.
Starting point is 00:12:34 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.
Starting point is 00:12:55 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.
Starting point is 00:13:11 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.
Starting point is 00:13:26 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.
Starting point is 00:13:36 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

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.
Starting point is 00:15:30 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.

Starting point is 00:16:50 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.
Starting point is 00:17:04 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.
Starting point is 00:17:18 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?
Starting point is 00:17:40 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?
Starting point is 00:17:53 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
Starting point is 00:18:09 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.
Starting point is 00:18:24 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.
Starting point is 00:18:44 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.
Starting point is 00:19:09 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
Starting point is 00:19:29 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
Starting point is 00:19:45 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
Starting point is 00:20:00 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
Starting point is 00:20:13 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?
Starting point is 00:20:29 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.
Starting point is 00:20:52 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.
Starting point is 00:21:21 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.
Starting point is 00:21:36 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.
Starting point is 00:21:59 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.
Starting point is 00:22:14 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?
Starting point is 00:22:32 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.
Starting point is 00:22:48 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.
Starting point is 00:23:03 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.
Starting point is 00:23:17 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
Starting point is 00:23:30 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?
Starting point is 00:23:43 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
Starting point is 00:23:56 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?
Starting point is 00:24:13 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.
Starting point is 00:24:25 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
Starting point is 00:24:40 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.
Starting point is 00:24:57 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?
Starting point is 00:25:20 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.
Starting point is 00:25:38 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.
Starting point is 00:25:53 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.
Starting point is 00:26:14 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?
Starting point is 00:26:30 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.
Starting point is 00:26:54 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.
Starting point is 00:27:10 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,
Starting point is 00:27:28 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.
Starting point is 00:27:45 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.
Starting point is 00:28:13 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.

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?
Starting point is 00:34:21 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?
Starting point is 00:34:37 No, my parents live in Scotland, actually. So they are very far away, yeah, and I'm an only child.

Starting point is 00:35:34 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
Starting point is 00:35:43 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
Starting point is 00:35:54 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?
Starting point is 00:36:04 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.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Oh, Santa. Hello. Oh, oh. Merry Christmas, everybody. Hey. You're back, baby. He's back. Brilliant stuff.
Starting point is 00:36:28 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.
Starting point is 00:36:38 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.
Starting point is 00:36:48 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.
Starting point is 00:37:04 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?
Starting point is 00:37:16 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.
Starting point is 00:37:32 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
Starting point is 00:37:43 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.
Starting point is 00:37:52 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.
Starting point is 00:38:11 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.
Starting point is 00:38:29 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
Starting point is 00:38:45 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.
Starting point is 00:39:03 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
Starting point is 00:39:15 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.
Starting point is 00:39:33 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.
Starting point is 00:39:47 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.
Starting point is 00:40:08 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.
Starting point is 00:40:25 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.
Starting point is 00:40:42 The Edge. 1K.E.Z. Money. Practice makes perfect. 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.
Starting point is 00:40:56 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Yeah, let's smash it. Okay, beginning with R. Can I please have an animal? Rabbit. A celebrity. Roger Federer. A flower. Red rose.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Something in the sky. Path. Something you drink. Red wine. Something at a concert. A record. Type of dance. Rage.
Starting point is 00:41:56 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.
Starting point is 00:42:08 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.
Starting point is 00:42:18 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?
Starting point is 00:42:32 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?
Starting point is 00:42:44 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.
Starting point is 00:42:58 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:43:21 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
Starting point is 00:43:40 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
Starting point is 00:43:51 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.
Starting point is 00:44:07 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.
Starting point is 00:44:18 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
Starting point is 00:44:39 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...
Starting point is 00:45:17 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.
Starting point is 00:45:32 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.
Starting point is 00:45:50 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.
Starting point is 00:46:09 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.
Starting point is 00:46:25 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
Starting point is 00:46:39 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,
Starting point is 00:46:59 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.
Starting point is 00:47:14 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
Starting point is 00:47:33 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
Starting point is 00:47:49 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.
Starting point is 00:48:07 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,
Starting point is 00:48:25 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.
Starting point is 00:48:40 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
Starting point is 00:48:57 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
Starting point is 00:49:09 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
Starting point is 00:49:22 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
Starting point is 00:49:37 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
Starting point is 00:49:57 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
Starting point is 00:50:28 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.
Starting point is 00:50:48 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
Starting point is 00:51:11 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

Starting point is 00:52:37 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.
Starting point is 00:52:51 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
Starting point is 00:53:07 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
Starting point is 00:53:23 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
Starting point is 00:53:39 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
Starting point is 00:53:55 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.
Starting point is 00:54:11 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.
Starting point is 00:54:30 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

Starting point is 00:56:50 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.
Starting point is 00:57:06 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.

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...

Starting point is 01:00:20 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.
Starting point is 01:00:39 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.
Starting point is 01:00:57 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
Starting point is 01:01:12 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.
Starting point is 01:01:35 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.
Starting point is 01:01:48 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.
Starting point is 01:02:00 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.
Starting point is 01:02:13 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,
Starting point is 01:02:20 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,
Starting point is 01:02:30 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.
Starting point is 01:02:39 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
Starting point is 01:02:53 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
Starting point is 01:03:05 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.
Starting point is 01:03:52 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
Starting point is 01:05:18 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
Starting point is 01:05:30 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
Starting point is 01:05:43 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,
Starting point is 01:05:57 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.
Starting point is 01:06:10 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.
Starting point is 01:06:28 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.
Starting point is 01:06:44 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
Starting point is 01:06:53 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
Starting point is 01:07:02 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
Starting point is 01:07:14 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.
Starting point is 01:07:31 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?
Starting point is 01:07:51 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?
Starting point is 01:08:11 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.
Starting point is 01:08:38 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?
Starting point is 01:08:54 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.
Starting point is 01:09:11 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.
Starting point is 01:09:23 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.
Starting point is 01:09:38 I'm with you, babe. Holy shit, you made it the whole way through. If you want more, them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough, check out our only fans, podcast that is.
