This is a podcast from Rover. Buckle up, lower your standards and prepare the question. Everything. This is Clint Megan Dan's Only Bands. Podcast that is. And here we see her in her natural habitat. A real life Meg rolling round in mud. Look at her.

Oh, she's about to do her mating call. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, boy, oh, God. Settle down, Meg. She's about to do her mating call. Whoa! Hey! I'm going! I'm going! I'm going! Settle down, Meg. It's time for the show, Kinky. This is Clint, Meg and Dan. Good morning.

It is 1 to 6. Actually no Dan, no Meg. Myself and Ash this morning. Oh my god! If someone 6 a year ago told you you'd be doing a breakfast show with some girl called Ash London and no one else, you'd be like, am I moving to Australia? They'd be like, no.

Has everyone lost me? Yes. I would have assumed that. Yeah, no. How rich am I? How much am I earning? Do I live on the Gold Coast? I got bitches around my pools.

Bitches just being Jamie and her friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, how lucky am I? I get you all to myself. That's right. Come on, babe. Imagine this is the day we fall in love and leave our partners.

And it all happened on Tuesday, August the 5th at 5.59. The scandal. Ooh, scandal 6.40. Yeah, yeah. We do miss Dan though, we hope he's okay. Yeah, you just see that he was up most of the night with like a fever. Doesn't bode well for the 12 days I dispense it.

Yeah, no. He started with a fever. He's stronger than me. I'm like, he'll be OK. He did say, look, I could probably come in and struggle through it. I'm like, OK, well, you don't offer to come in if you're like... Really bad. But also maybe it was a pretend offer.

That's true. He did not expect us to be like, yeah, come in while you have a fever. He knows I'm a germaphobe. Yeah, true. And she's literally got her like air purifier machine on full noise. She's not gonna be like, yeah bro,

better to have you in Crooked than not at all. I don't think so, Chucky. You stay, keep your acid home. Keep your acid home, Dan. No one wants your sickness. Hey, your chance to play for 10k coming up at 7 this morning. Easy money back in an hour. Good luck.

I'm feeling good this morning. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my gosh. This was my favourite song on his album. It was, past tense, controversial. And then now there's already like two others where I'm like, oh my gosh. Oh, so go baby, go baby, go baby. I love this one.

So good. Even the first one on his album, All I Can Take, is great. And I'd love to know that Yukon song, have they pitched Justin's voice up so he sounds like a different artist or he sounds like a woman? I don't know the song. I'll see if I've got it on the system

because I'm like, I think he has, which is quite clever, because my wife was like, who's this? It sounds like him, but it's a girl. And I'm like, I think they've just pitched his voice up. There's an artist in Australia called Emma Louise, who I love, and she recorded a whole album, like 10 tracks, and at the very end, decided to pitch herself down in all of them

to sound like a man. It's so strange. She sounds like a completely different artist, but it's so sick. It's an amazing thing that they can do. Yeah. Have we got it on that? I'm just going to pull it off YouTube. It's not in our system because it's probably too new. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In terms of it's not like a release that Justin's put out as a single yet. But I think that's so the sign of a good album is when you have a different favourite track every like week or two weeks. There's nothing is when you have a different favourite track every like week or two weeks.

There's nothing worse when you get a new album and then like a week in you're like... Is that Justin? Is that Justin or something? There's no other name on this track, like no feature. So is this Justin Bieber? They've just pitched it up? Yeah. There's a moment. Oh. Yeah.

But then he also sings in his normal voice while this is also playing, so it's like he's singing with someone, but I'm sure it's himself. I should have just Googled chat, GPT, but I was... Yeah, yeah, he's pitched up. Yeah. Yeah. So people have gone on the internet on SoundCloud and pitched it back down and it sounds exactly like you again.

Oh really? So crazy. People have more time than me, I didn't even bother Googling. If people don't know what pitching something means, it means taking something like, oh, and then pitching up to like, oh, it's like a different key, so it sounds different. Yeah. Like, um. I kind of love it though.

And then he sings sings over the top. I could pitch Ash up, see if she sounds better. Come here. Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da. Sound like a minion. That's so weird. I do. Alright, that's so weird.

Alright, 6AM throwback. Um, I had a few options last week. There's so weird. I do. I'm a moron. That's so weird. All right, sixth item, throwback. I had a few options last week. There's no real topical tie-in. We were pinging them around, and I saw this one and we never actually played it. Remember we had producer Carl's auntie on, Auntie Lucky? Lucky. Oh, are you about to pitch me Britney Spears' Lucky?

Oh my god. Every word to that song. We played it while she was on the phone. And I was like, oh my god. I know every word to that song. We like played it while she was on the phone and I was like, oh my god, I haven't heard that song in ages. This is a story about a girl called Lucky. Is that what it says at the start? Something like that? I mean, you're telling me.

I'm sure there's a talking bit. This is a story about a girl named Lucky. Yes, come on! The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. I didn't realise that song was about her, you were saying, Ash. Yeah, well at the time she I didn't realise this song was about it, you were saying it. Yeah, well at the time she probably didn't realise she wouldn't have written it. But the song is, and that's from her first album, the song's all about a famous girl called Lucky.

Everyone thinks they're so lucky. But at night she cry, cry, cries because she's so alone and sad. Turns out it was a self-fulfilling prophecy there because, you know, we found out all those years later that she's had a shitty life. I need to start being like a lyric listener. I just listened to like the sound of something and then it will evoke an emotion rather than listening to what the artist is actually saying and there's no better example of this than when we went to that Guy Sebastian showcase and he talked about a song of his that I love and I've never listened obviously enough to the lyrics because I

thought it was a happy song and it was actually about one of his friends that passed but he didn't want to write a ballad because it wasn't his friend's vibe. And his friend would be like come on bro yeah give me like a sad ass song. And so this song which you may have heard before if you actually listen to lyrics is talking about his friend who's passed. favorite I know you're looking down on us I'm missing you bro I hope you're proud of us at least I know you made it home and I know you're not alone cause now you're singing with a choir and now you're dancing with a crew and I'm just getting down to the chorus cause you ain't doing this solo we all running with you

so I'm just gonna go fire did you think it was just about a guy who joined a choir or a hip-hop dance class? Honestly, I never really give it enough thought. I'm just like, yeah. I'm the opposite. Really? As soon as I hear a song, if I can't hear a lyric, I'll go and Google straight away to read the lyrics. I'm upset, but it makes sense. I'm a writer. I love words.

And you're just a vibe guy. And I'll just like, if I don't know the words, I'll make up what I think it is. Yeah, just go with it. Yeah, it's a really, really sad song. Yes, super sad. Yeah, well, I love how good was that Sebastian show. Is this the song that he won Song of the Year with against Dance Monkey, or was it a different one?

This one, yeah, yeah. Crazy. And you know, cause guys are always late, right? And that same Arias we just like our music awards He won after 10 years or something he won his first day of aria But he was so late to the arias that he was still outside so he missed it So he got to come on stage later

I'm so sorry they've let me on again because that was my first aria and I was just late and I was outside I'm sorry Classic guy talking about how he'd always wanted to write Song of the Year. And the year he won it was the same year Tones and I released Dance Monkey, arguably the biggest song in Australia. I know, but that was a fan voted,

and I think by the time the Arias came around, people were like, I'm done with Dance Monkey. Oh, it peaked too early. Yes, so I think this song, like, choir peaked at the right moment. And also it was all over the radio, it peaked too early. Yes. So I think this song, like, quiet peaked at the right moment. And also it was all over the radio. People loved it so much. And really, like, he is just beloved. Yeah. Oh, I love seeing Guys To Bless You win. I want to play this song. Can we play this song now?

Yeah, bro. Stop it. I don't care. 612. What song are we supposed to play now? We're gonna take a quick break and then we're back on Rudimental. What are we supposed to play now? We're going to take a quick break and then we're back on Rudimental. No. Hey, let's let you vote. Do you want to hear some guys to bless you on Rudimental?

Guys, we've got a caller on line one. Hey, it's Nick here from Invercargill. Can I have guys to best you? I love that. Oh, bloody Nook. Nook is always calling Nook. Clint, Mick and Dan. Let's go!

Although Dan away today. And Mick had a baby. Yeah, Clint and Ash London. And why do you get your last name said and I don't? Because no one knows who I am and you're a staple of the New Zealand media landscape. I know, people still get me confused with the other Clint that's also on radio from time to time. Yeah, once I, not gonna lie, went to message you on Instagram and wrote a whole message to that guy media landscape. I know, people still get me confused with the other Clint that's also on radio from time to time. Yeah, once I, not gonna lie, went to message you on Instagram and wrote a whole message

to that guy from just before I pressed enter, I was like, oh wrong click. You know what I really annoy is me when he gets my PR passes. First call of the day! First call of the day! Jamie, good morning! Good morning guys! First call of the day this morning, what are you up to? Why are you up so early?

Well you know what, shocker, it's my day off but I'm taking my son to basketball training so that's what I'm doing. Why are they training at 6.30 in the morning Jamie? Come on that's so rude for you. It's so rude, I would really love to know the same question. Is he like a prodigy? Like is he going to be really good? To be honest, he's quite sporty. So one day I think he's going to make me some good money.

It's a prodigy. Protege is like someone that's walking in you, like if you've got a young person that you mentor, you're a protege. Oh, I thought it was just a flash way of saying protege. No, it's a different word. Protege. Anyway, Jamie, you are an Eilidh childhood teacher, aka salt of the earth. I bow down at your feet and kiss your toes.

I love you, Jamie. You do good work. Tell us, why did you get into early childhood education? Because it's not for everyone, babe. I always wanted to change children's drives in some sort of way and that's where I ended up. So cool. I love that. I reckon if I, it would probably be my top three. It was radio. I applied to become a firefighter before I ended up getting my

first radio job. Just before I was meant to sit the physical. The week I was supposed to sit the physical I got offered a radio job. If it wasn't that, early childhood. Oh, so there were two other things I wanted to do that were gonna help people and save the world. But instead I've chosen the most selfish, narcissistic job on the planet. I get paid really well, I get free PR packages sent to me.

If it wasn't for that, Jamie, he would have been shaping the next generation of young minds. He would have. I do miss sitting of young minds. He would have. I do miss sitting in the sandpit and building castles with kids and just nailing nails into random blocks of wood and getting wet and having to change my clothes four times during the day. Oh my gosh, the amount of...

Do you know, this week, Jamie, I had my child's shoes in my hand because he had... Because they never carry any of their own shoes. They were shoes and then we're getting into the car and I'm holding his shoe in my hand because he had never carried any of their own shoes. And then we're getting into the car and I'm holding his shoe in one hand. And I went to open the handle of the car. And as I did so, like 13 cups of sand come out of the shoe onto my hand. But I thought it was a spider from under my car door handle because it touched my hand. And I dropped the biggest bomb in front of my child.

And he's like, what happened mum? And I was, oh, sorry, I thought this was a spider. And then about 10 minutes later in the car, as you can imagine, Jamie, my child dropped the F-bomb back at me. Oh no. Yes. Yep, as it does, as it does. Although it's going to be fun, though, because you can teach them stuff, Jamie. And then they go home and they start saying it and they go, where did that come from?

You're like, I don't know. No, she teaches them good things. What do you think is like the moment you have at work or you've had that makes you go okay what I'm doing is is really important? When the children go home and actually tell their parents what we did with them and the parents come back and tell us. So sweet. And as a parent, it's so like, often you say, what was the best part of, you know, Kindy today? Oh, nothing. Oh, I'm playing. And then sometimes he'll just like launch into this,

like today at Kindy, Antonia was reading us a story about this and that, and I said this and then we learned, then I learned about like, you know, some crazy, what's that thing called with the plants get the water and the sun? Metamorphosis? No, it's like that photosynthesis. Then I learned about photosynthesis.

Metamorphosis is with the butterflies in the caterpillars and stuff. They turn into something else. Yeah. Oh no, Jamie, you must have patience of a saint because kids trying to tell stories, it's like four hours sometimes for like a 30 second story. Oh, it Oh, annoying. Are we gonna sort you out with coffee? If any profession needs it, it's you. New magic at Z, a short and punchy coffee, just like the said, we'll flick you a voucher.

Amazing, thanks guys, have a great day. Thanks for all you do, Jamie, we love you, Sal. Yeah. Yeah, kids tell the stories. And then they repeat the same bit. So I said to Rupee, so, so, um, so, so I said to Rupee, um, they say the most words when I'm saying anything. And sometimes it's like I'm being tortured.

I'm like, let me leave your room and go to sleep. Yeah, he's sad, he's smiling. And I'm like, yep, yep, what happened? Okay, yep, okay, oh God. Yeah, we love him though, we love him. Alright, Ash is looking after Naughty640 next. Oh, this is a naughty one. But it's inspired by you babe.

Oh really? What has she got up her sleeve? The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Naughty640 time. So, this all comes off something you said. So I'll see if you can kind of remember, and I think you will. What's the rule you and Jamie have if you're asleep? And Jamie, what's the rule?

The rule is if Jamie has like a, my wife has a naughty dream, cause she's done this before and she's like, oh my God, I had this like sexy dream and she was telling me all about it. And I was like, what? And she goes, oh yeah. And then I like woke up and I was all hot and flustered.

And I was like, wake me up! Always wake me up. Yeah. Can you please line up just in this, can you please line up on Avicii's wake me up? Just the whole thing. Yeah, yeah. That's really going to help us. Yeah, so the rule that you have is if your wife wakes up from something like that and

she's feeling a bit, how you doing? You've got to wake her up. So you had told us this. Yeah, and it doesn't go the other way because we discussed that. She does not want to be woken up if I have the dream. She's not a V-Chain. I need to be woken up. So I remembered this and the very next night... There it is. Come on, give me the...

remembered this and the very next night, there it is, come on, give me, just give me the, give me the, come on, come on, wake me up. So I remembered this and I did wake up probably about, it was early too, cause I go to bed quite early and sometimes Adrian will step to later to do work, but I need to be in bed about like 8.30. So I think it was only about 9.30, 10 o'clock.

So he's still awake and I wake up and I'm like, huh, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. And he's gonna lie in there and I'm like, is he awake, is, stop, stop. And he's gonna lie in there and I'm like, is he awake, is he asleep, do I do it? And I'm lying, I'm literally like, it's we're lying in the dark and I'm like, hmm, do I? Because you know, he's been sick with COVID, I've been sick with the flu, it's been a while.

It's so funny that you're like, should I, shouldn't I? Because if we find out it happened and you didn't, I think most guys would be delivered. But that's why I'm so glad you had put this in my mind because I was like, what would Clint Randall do? And I was like, okay, in this situation, Clint's already said, he wants, he wants to be woken up. So I like kind of roll over and I did that tap, tap, tap, just to like see my tap, tap, tap. And he's like, huh, well, are you okay? And I was like, do I like Dwight? I didn't know. I was like, do I like, do I, I didn't know,

I was like, do I just tell him? Or do I try and seduce him? Or do they thing in a movie where they just turn around and just walk towards him and just bang, just straight into the kiss, no discussion. But we're already in bed, like facing the same way, we're not facing each other. So I didn't know whether to like, as I said,

just go and say, hey, do you want to, or kiss the shoulder or something. So I literally was like, oh, I tapped him on the shoulder, I was like, as I said, just go and say, hey, do you want to kiss the shoulder or something? So I literally was like, oh, then I tapped him on the shoulder, I was like, do you want to text? Then we text, so. Thank you so much, thank you so much, crew. Oh, much better, much better.

Baby! Oh, a much better musical grab. Yeah, you definitely need the conversation. If you haven't had the conversation in your relationship, guys especially, your partner could have no idea that that is your rule because you haven't told them because we think it's obvious. But it's not obvious if you haven't had the conversation.

And also maybe some women also do wanna be woken up. Yep, they'll be the only- I can't speak for, me and Jamie can't speak for all women. My wife wakes up too much throughout the night and there's disrupted sleep the last thing she needs is me also helping. So while Dan's not here, Dan's relationship checking was like am I doing well or anything we need to work on. Our relationship checking is just like if I wake up and I'm horny do I wake you up yes or no? Yes. Tick the box. Great there's an understanding. See you tomorrow night.

Clint I just feel like I owe you an apology because on Saturday night when I woke up horny I didn't got hold of you Call that man another six dreamer things come in okay. I'll see I'll see in a few hours Go back to sleep Man, another sick stream, mate. Thanks, Carl, man. Okay, I'll see you in a few hours. Okay. Go back to sleep, bloody pest. My Oxford year, it is the most watched thing on Netflix at the moment. I've got some bloody thoughts!

And Ash was full-blown ugly crying yesterday. Is it worth the watch or not? We discuss this next. So I am a, just a rom-coms SLUD. I just will watch anything and everything when Christmas starts to come around and all those D grade Christmas at the inn falling for you. Merry I'm like put it in my veins. I'll watch like 30 over the Christmas period. The worse, the better. And I haven't been busier lately doing breakfast, so I haven't been able to have the same amount of time

to dedicate to rom-coms. So yesterday, I got home a bit early and I thought, you know what, before Kindy pick up, I'm gonna watch My Oxford Year. It's on Netflix. Did you say it was a number one? Yeah, it's actually just surpassed Happy Gilmore 2. Okay.

And also Demon Hunters at three, so. Okay, problem. Would you let me play a little bit of the trailer? Yeah, but it'd give people a vibe. Welcome to the University of Oxford. Your time here is precious. We have a student all the way from. New York.

New York, New York. Welcome, welcome. Flirting with the hot teacher on the first day? No, I uh. Oh no, I love it. That is a serious bit of crumpet. Mm, he is... I'm getting hot sweat again thinking about it.

He is a serious piece of crumpet. So if you've seen Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte, he plays the king, the hot king that falls for Queen Charlotte when they're young. Right. Mm-mm. So I go into this thinking, oh, OK, what? It's gonna be fine. It's a Netflix rom-com.

Um... She's really attractive. She's gorgeous. She's that girl that's in the love list. She's got like the very, like the long bob. Do you know the weird thing that I remembered her from and she wasn't like incredible in it, but obviously she's just that good looking.

She was in Carry On with Jason Bateman, you know, in that like airport movie and he was like the bad guy? Yeah. The good guy who was like working at the airport. It's his girlfriend. It's his girlfriend. I totally forgot that. That's the girl. Yeah. And we love her. So I start watching something like, oh, it's a big crap, but I'm watching it. I love the scenery. There's, there's hotties in it. And I don't want to give anything

away. But there's a certain plot, part of a plot that really needed a, we needed a warning a plot that really needed a, we needed a warning because I ended up, it's not crying, like ugly. It was not a romcom. It was heart wrenching. And it has made me really think about the fact that when you're in your thirties, like we are, well some of us, we all kind of in your thirties, we have a certain expectation of romcoms because we came up in the time of the rom-com. Of like, the Drew Barrymore, the Sandy Bullock, the Kate Hudson, the 10 Things I Hate About You, My Best Friend's Wedding. Yes, come on, I need you, baby.

I love you, baby. We're getting another one of these, by the way. Really? A redux of My Best Friend's Wedding in 2026. Can I try and hear this bit? In front of the whole school and he doesn't care even though he's the bad guy. Yes, so good. He's the bad boy and he's not supposed to be romantic.

Oh, Heath Ledger. Oh, I love him so much. So we have these amazing rom-coms and this is the level of rom-com we deserve. But can you name me one rom-com from the last couple of years and this is the level of romcom we deserve. But can you name me one romcom from the last couple of years that is on the level of 10 Things, My Best Friend's Wedding, Notting Hill, anything like that? Hmm. No, you're right. All the ones that you think of are all sort of throwback romcoms.

Yes. Or C-grade Netflix romcoms, which have their time and place, but no one's rewatching My Oxford Year. You know what I mean? Yeah right. They see it once, great, like the one with Sydney Powell and Sydney Sweeney and Glenn Powell. Yeah true.

Fine. We're not watching it again. We don't even remember the title. No! But how many times am I going to watch 10 Things I Hate About You? 25. How many times am I going to watch My Best Friend's Wedding or like any of, even like um... About Time? About... Oh! With Rachel McAdams? How many times am I going to watch my best friend's wedding or like any of even like um about time about oh

With Rachel McAdams. Yes, do you know the same guy? They did about time did like four weddings a funeral Notting Hill about it like that. Yeah, that's why I say you're right You can reference those straight away and everyone agrees, but you're right. They're all old rom-com Yes So I want to play me to the game with you where you and I are both going to come up with a rom-com Like the main girl the main guys the actor. Yeah, the comedic Supporting role which could be his best friend or her best friend Okay, and maybe just a bit of a plot and maybe if you want to title it

So we're gonna both pitch our movies and the people have to call up through three four three or is it a 100? Yeah, I should have learned that. I've already been on Heavymetal. Yeah. And let us know which romcom needs to get made, yours or mine. Okay. And I am at an advantage given that

I literally have written a romcom and released a romance novel, but I think you know this genre very, very well. The boys in the producer booth, I think are upset that they haven't been included. Oh, do you guys wanna have a go? You and Nipia and Carl, you can band together. I've already written three.

Okay, he's ready to go. He's ready to go. Ash was just throwing all the new rom-coms under the bus saying that it's not as good as they used to make them. Yeah, I still love them, but you're only watching them once, you're not re-watching them with the family every year. And actually, when you make that argument

and you try and think of a movie that's as good as all the other ones that you're going to reference from ten years ago you're right I'm like yeah why don't they stick or land as hard as they used to? The closest I can think of is a series Nobody Wants This with Adam Brody and that was of the caliber but again it's big budget it's big names we're not getting like big actors and actresses signing on to do big budget rom-coms anymore and that's what I miss. Okay, we've got Tanya and Linda who are going to be helping us out on The Jury with which

movie they would like to see, which hypothetical movie that doesn't exist yet. Yes, but we're going to make it in our minds. So I've got one, you've got one. I think Neepie's written about 10, so we might just limit him to one or two. Okay, do you want to go first, Neeps? Yeah, I can give you one if you want. Okay. So we need the guy, the girl, the comedic supporting actor

or actress if you've got it and a plot or a name. Okay, fantastic. I've gone relatively like recent actors, actresses. So I've got Anna Diamis playing the female lead. Oh, that's Tom Cruise's new girlfriend. Just personal preference. female lead. Oh that's Tom Cruise's new girlfriend. Just personal preference. Austin Butler is playing a neighbor and Awkwafina playing like Anna de Armas' best friend. Love Awkwafina. Wait does the guy Austin Butler who

played Elvis, does he still speak like Elvis because I heard he's stuck? Well I could be set in Texas I'm not sure. I haven't decided on a location yet. So it's called No Dick November and what the woman has done is she's sworn. No woman is gonna watch a movie. No, you gotta hear the synopsis first. So a woman has sworn off all men for a month. She's been dating absolute losers for the past week while she's had a complete month off.

She's not doing it anymore. Until her new hot neighbour moves in next door during the middle of this month and they start growing a lovely relationship. But she's closed off from Ben till the end of the month. What for two more weeks? Yeah well, he could move quickly. And then he can't wait till he leaves. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he couldn't stick around for that long and the movie's over after 10

minutes. Life's short, that's like a fortnight man. I gotta go. The love of his life just walks away. I could not wait. That's like a fortnight man. I gotta go. Okay. The love of his life just walks away. I'll go next because unfortunately I think we've got some similarities, Nipea and I. I've gone Matthew McConaughey as the lead. Rachel McAdams as the other lead.

I don't know if they've actually ever met in a rom-com, but I know that they are just like experts in their field. And they're, so he's her neighbour as well. But on the other side of Rachel McAdams, her neighbour is Matthew McConaughey's best friend, Pete Davidson. And so Pete Davidson and Matthew McConaughey are pining for Rachel McAdams the whole time as they grow up. But unfortunately, Matthew McConaughey are pining for Rachel Mcganners the whole time as they grow up, but unfortunately Matthew McConaughey has the looks. Okay. And so it's just-

But Pete Davidson got the BDE. Yeah. Big, big energy. But it's a story of where the love triumphs at the expense of true ride or die friendship. Oh. And I don't want to give too much away, but Matthew McConaughey's a bit of a dick to his mate, and pursues the girl, and then at end, Pete Davidson gets like a terminal illness. Oh, don't give away the ending.

So it's like, then he's forced to reevaluate his life choices. Okay, so it's a rom-com that does pull at the heartstrings. It's called Love Thy Neighbour. Did Chachibie take him up with that? Because that's very good. I thought it was a little religion maybe. No.

The Crizzos are like, oh that's good. But that's why it's good because you go into it thinking one thing. Boom! That's so forgot. No Dick November. And then we've got Love Thy Neighbour. I really like that. OK. Mine is we've got some crossover in ours, babe. Really? Mine's Sandra Bullock as the name. I love her.

Glenn Powell as the love interest. OK, yeah, he's topical at the moment. And the comedic supporting role. Also Pete Davidson. Yeah. But in this Yeah, it's topical at the moment. And the comedic supporting role also Pete Davidson Yeah, but in this film, it's it's a bit subversive. So Sandra Bullock is a widowed US Senator and She's got a son Pete Davidson that she had when she was very young. So he lives, you know with her in Washington Sandy falls for her head of security the super jacked Glenn Powell who was 25 years her junior. Scared to love again, will she find the courage to give her heart over to the man she's falling in love with, her head of security, and face the criticism that may come from the public about the big age gap.

So there's the cougar romance, we get some Glenn Powell topless we're getting the Pete Davidson comedic you know effect what's wrong with you give the title and I'll tell you where it falls apart for me scandalous protection it falls apart for me in the sense that I think Sandra Bullock's son Pete Davidson would actually try and make moves on her. Because Pete Davidson would try it on. It's his mum. I know but I just don't see a movie where Pete Davidson is not trying it on with Sandra Bullock. But it's his mum. I know and that's why I force a black because I just can't.

I'll be like there's no way Pete Davidson is trying to do it. You've got issues. It's his mum. Like no matter how hot your mum is you don't want to try it on with your mum. Pete Davidson would. It's his mum! Okay. Are you understanding here? Tanya, which movie are you watching? Is it No Dick November, Love Thy Neighbour or?

Scandalous Protection. I'm glad you guys sent me for Hollywood but I think it's going to be Dick November. What? That's the worst one, Tanya! Are you serious? Nasty has given us a double finger. I love Sandra Bullock, but I just don't see her falling for a guy that young. Oh, gosh. And I just completely... The other plot just got too tangled up with the heartstrings and someone dying.

Oh, okay, Tanya, you're there. We're gonna send you a double password movie that's very different to all of the ones we described. The studio that brought you It and the Conjuring comes a new age thriller weapons it's in cinemas this Thursday. What about Linda? Has Linda got any sanity? You don't think No Dick November is the best of those three rom-coms do you darling? I will probably go with any movie Matthew McConaughey has done. Yeah, any one Matthew McConaughey has done. Love Thou Neighbour.

I've got it with Matt. I lose out. I want to see scandalous protection. No, no one wants to see a dude who's into his mum. That's disgusting. You added that! You added that! Can I just say someone's texted through and they said, Clint Randall, his wife as Megan Fox and it's called Intrusive Fox. Clint, Megan, Dan, Stinky Bo false. Clint Megan Tan, stinky boo.

Yeah, whoever at 704 got a text, that person would be the winner. Yeah, so Ash's hypothetical movie that she created, her hypothetical romcom, is the best. Yeah, thank you so much. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. We will catch up with Meg after 8 o'clock with a bit of an update on how she's doing. So good, I can't wait to hear her voice. Yeah, sorry yesterday, she's thriving.

So wonderful. Thriving, so good. We have our producer, Nepia, in studio with us this morning because he's been a good boy. He's a good little boy. And we did speak to your mummy recently, the lawyer, and the vibes I was getting from her was that she loves her boy. Oh, most of the time. If you missed that, by the way, a very interesting chat The vibes I was getting from her was that she loves her boy. Oh, most of the time.

If you missed that, by the way, a very interesting chat around getting an inheritance from someone who passes, it's not a joint... You don't have to share it with your partner. Yeah, it's not something that you can... The best thing about my mum is I'm never going to have to pay for a lawyer for the rest of my life. That's so... Hopefully you'll never need one. But the caveat is, as soon as you start integrating that money that you've been given into household stuff, now it's a joint thing. If you inherit something you don't want to share with your partner, you've got to keep

it separate and not touch it. But hopefully everyone just loves their partner, wants to share their money. But anyway, he's a good boy. Yeah, what have you been doing? Well, yeah, so I came into the show yesterday. When I've been a really good boy, like I try and call Mum like two or three times a week and have some good chats.

I called her every single day last week just because we had a lot to chat about. And because I was such a good boy and I spoke to Mum so much, she ordered me some groceries from Woolworths, which was amazing. And even better than that, the groceries didn't arrive on Friday,

so she complained about it Yeah, they wrote a good lawyer would as a good lawyer would yeah, she's getting her money's worth. She Complained about it the groceries arrived on Saturday morning, and then ten minutes later I had a knock on my front door, and it was our neighbors going oh, hey We've actually got your groceries from yesterday, so now I've got two full sets of groceries at home. Wait, who brings something in for their neighbour and then forgets and then brings it over the next day? Yeah and it's like four bags of groceries as well like it's not just like a little package or something. But the big takeaway for me is you were telling the story because you were telling the story to be like oh my god how amazing is it we got two sets of groceries and I was like whoa whoa whoa everyone

did you say your mum bought your groceries and you're like yeah cuz I've been a good boy. We're just like oh that's hilarious yeah is this always a thing like if you're in a good vibe you've been a good son you'll get it is it specifically a groceries delivery? It's either end of the spectrum so either when I've been a really really good boy or I'm like really anxious and upset about something she'll give me groceries so she's really good she takes care of me and all that, but when I'm a good boy, she usually rewards me, even though I'm nearly 25 years old. When I'm a good girl, my mum will come and fill the freezer.

That is amazing. So she's like, or again, if I'm really anxious or depressed, she'll be like, mommy's coming, what do you need? Exactly. And she literally just writes a list, I do a Woolworths shop yeah and she will be in the kitchen for four days just slow cooking lamb making

lasagna just filling the freezer exactly and mummy knows exactly what you need to make you feel better or to reward you for being like a good boy yeah yeah and we kind of wanted we did want to make this a broader discussion because like like, is this something, how old are you, Nipia? I'm 25. Is this something that only happens to 25-year-olds, because I'm 39 and a mother myself, and I still get a little treaty when I'm a good girl. I do love if mum's been over, and just before I come home to relieve her of her babysitting duties, whatever, because she's helping out, because our schedule's got to be hectic. And all the washing is all folded and sitting on the dining table. Thank you Jesus. It's just because you've been a good boy. And the little piles and everything.

The piles. My mum will even iron Adrienne's work shirts, because I ain't doing that. I have no chance in hell. I wish someone would do my washing. My mum lives in a Macargo so she can't do my washing. But the washing is like the key to my heart. Yeah, cause you've been a good boy. Yeah, exactly. What do you get from your mummy or daddy when you've been a good boy or a good girl? Yeah, and maybe we could even extend this to like, I mean sometimes we call our partners daddy or mummy.

Hey, if we're lucky. It can get dangerous there. So no matter your age, no matter where you're at in life, we would love to know if your mummy and daddy are still giving you a little treatie treatie every now and then. And what is that? What does it look like when you're being like,

good girl, good boy? Yeah. What do you get from mummy or daddy? Neepia was telling us a story yesterday, producer Neeps, that his mum delivered woolwurst to him, even though she lives very far away. We were like, whoa, whoa whoa what do you mean? He's like yeah I'll be the good boy. Yeah when I'm a good boy mum brings me groceries. I'm like how does he prove he's being a good boy? She knows she's getting the vibes I think he'd always be a good boy. Like I guess if

you call mum every day. Yeah I did say he called her every day that way. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Alright, Lanell. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good, good. What did Mummy and Daddy do for you when you were a girl and you needed a bit of love? I live in New Zealand, but I'm from the UK, so my parents are away, and I had my appendix out.

And Dad felt really bad that he couldn't be there, so he bought me a new TV for the bedroom so I could play a PS4. Oh my gosh. That's beautiful, she's a good girl, she deserves it. What's the TV? I went for a 55 inch. Oh, you must have been a very good girl.

A very good girl, good on you. Are you ever a naughty girl, Lanell? Don't be sexual. Just ignore him, Lanell. Ignore him, Lanell? Don't be sexual. Oh, sometimes I'm just... Just ignore him, Lanell. Ignore him, Lanell, he's being a cheeky. I need to take the meagre mantle approach here and say, that's enough. Clem, get back in your hole.

Oh, I can... Oh, sorry, I see how that looks now. Shut up. You're such a shithead. Kayla, morning. Morning, how are you guys? Good. What does your mommy or daddy get you

when you've been a good girl? So I live in Taranaki and my mummy lives in Taronga and I don't see her often and every year for my birthday for the last two years she's paid for my pedicures. Yes! Oh wow! That is the best thing to pay for because it's a treaty and then every time you look at your feet and they look so great you go, my mummy loves me.

Yeah, I don't do ugly feet. No. Get on the OnlyFans, Kayla. You can make some cash off those tootsies. My mum reckons she could line up every single person that she knows in her life. You could put a shoe across all of them and she could work out everyone else from their feet. That's gross. That was weird, eh?

Your mum's a f— Anyway. She'd take that much notice. Yeah, so many texts. Sarah said, no treatise since I was 16. I'm 39 now. Currently breaking that bloodline for my kids. We all need some little treats. It's so true because even like when you're a parent yourself,

I don't know what it is, there's something about your parent or even a parent figure, aunt, uncle, an older person you know, I don't know, just giving you a little treat. You make you feel like someone's still taking care of you because, you know, we spend some time taking care of other people. It's nice to just feel like a kid again. Sounds like a nice place to leave it, but I'll read this text anyway.

Don't read the weird text. It's freaking me out. When I'm a good boy, my mummy still gives me milky milky. There are some weird people out there. Like in a jar? Like what, is she dropping it off in a... reusing a container? Go to the ads, go to the ads, please. Clint, Megan, Dan. Dan's away sick today and we've got Web Girl Bella in for the Gen Z quiz.

Trying to teach her things that happen outside of her generation. If you're a millennial or older, you should ace this test week to week. Absolutely. But we do learn things from you. We just learned about all the uses for vaseline on your eyebrows and eyelashes. We had other uses for vaseline when we were your age. Yeah, no one was putting it on their eyebrows. I think I rubbed it on scabies or whatever. Why did you have scabies, you weirdo?

Was it scabies or shingles? Scabies are the bugs that bite you. Yeah, no, I had shingles and I was like, what are you using? Because it shoots like nerve pain and like shoots at me. And I was like, I know I rubbed vests on it. Just try. I don't know, didn't work. So don't do that.

So five questions are coming your way. I think your record is four. Two weeks ago you got a four, but then you crashed out last week. I know, didn't work. So don't do that. So five questions are coming your way. I think your record is four. Two weeks ago you got a four but then you crashed out last week. I know, embarrassing. Yeah, you're riding high with false confidence. Okay, question one. What fast food restaurant is this commercial advertising? Some hamburger chains make a song and dance about their bacon burgers. But the b**** our bacon burgers really are...

Wengies. Oh we need to. Hey Wengies, we make your burgers. Can we pretend she didn't have that one so that we can have some sort of like, you know, will she do it? Go on, if she doesn't get this one so that we can have some sort of like, you know, will she do it? Go on, if she doesn't get this next one though, shame on you. We've got some audio, so wait till you hear the audio. But who won, who is this? The first season winner of NZ Idol.

When you're more than we've been It's the Dolly Parton Is it Dolly Parton? Oh my god! Dolly Parton! Did they also say I got one hand in my pocket? Yes they do, it's the same artist It's 40 years younger than Dolly Parton. Did they also say I got one hand in my pocket? Yes they do, that's the same artist. I don't know who it is.

40 years younger than Dolly Parton. Alanis Morissette was the answer we needed for that one. Sorry Ash. Okay, question four. This is for a downtrow. Oh my god. What is this TV show? I was obsessed with the show. This is going off on Instagram and TikTok at the moment.

Lots of clips of this TV show. Because people your age never saw it, they're now resurfacing on social because it was so funny. Eva Longoria. No, she's got no idea. Is it a kid series? No. Oh no, okay.

Oh my gosh. I'm floored. I have no idea. Is it a kids series? No. Oh no, okay. Oh my god. I'm floored. I have no clue. Nothing? Desperate. Housewives.

It's one of the greatest films of all time. It's even better than my Oxford year. Moby Dick is something about what I... Moby Dick? Oh my god. No, it's not Moby Dick. That is a shocking showing from your little girl Bella. Not often am I embarrassed, but...

I'm embarrassed right now. Oh, from Five. Wow. Okay, we'll take a moment. And then we'll come back with a bit of a... You're still really good at making videos though. Hey thanks. You are the best at that. If you had questions about that you'd be on fire.

Clint, Megan, Dan. It's up in entertainment. Clint, Megan, Dan with Ash London. So I told you a couple of minutes ago that one of my favorite artists had a baby and I didn't even know they had a part and I didn't even know they were having a baby. But I'm talking about Calvin Harris. He had his first baby with his wife Vic Hope. I mean once upon a time, last time I heard he was dating Taylor Swift.

Yeah. She's obviously moved on, they had four boyfriends since then. But I just. You're right, that's the last time with anyone talking about Calvin Harris's love life. So he uploaded last night a photo of him holding his bubba and the bubba's name is Micah, beautiful name, called his wife a superhero. But a couple of famous like pop artists have had babies this year. Jessie Nelson from Little Mix, you know, Jessie, she's the one who left and then it was just the three of them. She had baby twins called Ocean and Story.

And there were like heaps of complications. They're in the hospital for a while, but they're doing great now. Rihanna obviously having a third kid. I love that she's just having babies now. Like every time we see her in a red carpet, she's like, another one. Yeah, and everyone's like, make more music. She's like, why? I'm with two billion dollars now. Yes. And I just want to be a mom, so shut up.

And also, Steve Aoki, another DJ, has had a baby called Rocky a couple weeks ago. I like that. Yeah, so there you go. Good on you, Calvin Harris. Wouldn't it be so cool growing up and your dad's a famous DJ? Yeah, how do you think it changes his... Like, is he one of those DJs that's now going to do, like, live lounges, so he starts at midday and then just kind of keeps the vibes going? Like at those like, you know, pubs that are great places with some day drinking

and then at four o'clock he's out? See, yeah, I gotta do bath time. How cool would that be if like, it's your 16th birthday party and your dad's Calvin Harris and your dad's DJing the party? That's pretty sick. Or do you get to 16 and you're like, even if my dad is Calvin Harris I still don't think it's cool. Yeah, and you end up getting your dad's friend

who's also a DJ to do it rather than dad to do it. Yeah, like Marshmallow comes and DJs. Yeah. I'm like, what about me? I'm a good DJ too. Shut up, dad. Stop crabbing my style. Hey, we've been putting the pressure on Dan

with his hit the spot talent that he used to have. Whispers are going around. Oh, don't say used to. It's not officially a used to, it's kind of a used to. Whispers are going around that he's lost it. Yeah and you know what? And then we might have to count the whole thing. Watching a guy not be in time with the music and failing again and again is not impressive. It doesn't make you go viral.

No. So. It's like as good as it feels when he nails it, the opposite is that's as bad as it feels when he doesn't nail it. It's such a high risk game, but he's been so good at it in the past that we haven't had to worry until now. So we need to have a bit of a show meeting and a discussion around... Without him. Yeah, one of our favourite games hit the spot. While he's off sick.

Yeah, maybe it's the perfect time. It is the perfect time because we can have an honest chat with us and the listeners without hurting his feelings. Yeah, we'll do that. Next clip, Megan Dan. We need to address the elephant in the room is hit the spot dead. It's fast becoming New Zealand's favourite singing segment. Goddamn vampire. Oh, please stay.

But has Dan lost his magic? Love me And Cause there we are again This battle's gone No! That's so embarrassing! All this work

Clint, Megan, Dan with Ash London Need your help To save Hit the spot We are gonna help you, Dan, but if you don't nail it this Friday, I feel like your beloved It's so embarrassing. All this work. Clint Megan Dan with Ash London. Need your help. To save. Hit the Spot. We are gonna help you Dan, but if you don't nail it this Friday,

I feel like your beloved Hit the Spot segment is in danger of being on the shelf, mate. Weirdly, after you put that pressure on him Ash, you personally, he called in sick this morning. Yeah, the stress has got to him. The shame. Stress can make you sick, can't it? It can make you, you can ruin your immune system. Maybe that's what this morning. Yeah, the stress has got to him. The shame. Stress can make you sick, can't it?

It can make you, it can ruin your immune system. Maybe that's what's happened. Yeah. But it's only so long we can keep doing this and keep witnessing the failure. Yeah. It's hard for us, it's hard for him, it's hard for our beautiful listeners.

And we don't expect the world's greatest pole vaulter to clear the bar every time. No, exactly. But you gotta be doing it more often than you're missing otherwise it becomes less impressive very quickly. Yeah, look, so we want to help him, we want to revive him and bring and bring back the hit the spot. We want the spot to be hit. He used to hit the spot more than anyone I know but lately it's like... He's in a slump. He's blind. Yeah yeah yeah the pressure's got to him but as a you know

Edge Breakfast Fano I feel like we can rally around him and we can bring him back from the dead and I guess it all starts with the perfect song doesn't it? It does and here's where we would like your help. Yeah. We're gonna give Dan a song this week that he can spend countless hours practicing behind the scenes. Which is what he does. And then on Friday, he will attempt that song that will either save at the spot or hit the spot to bed forever. Can he redeem it? I want him to redeem the spot.

And it has to be a song that I think is still relatively tricky to do. We can't give him an absolute sitter and then celebrate the win. It's got to be hard because we need to show him some respect. Mm-hmm. But it's also got to be a magical banger that's gonna like really pull him through. Has to have a crescendo, like a moment.

Big ass crescendo and maybe even like a pause, like a no music bit where it like stops and then comes in. I don't know why this one just comes to mind. Vocally a tough song. He can do it, he can do the vocal. And then I think he would have to come back in at, I believe in a thing called. And we're all going berserk.

Yeah, that would feel good. It's a suggestion. We're gonna let Dan obviously choose the song because I feel it's unfair for us to force one upon him. But what would you like to throw in the mix as an option? Yeah, 3343 can shoot us a text so you can give us a call on 0800 The Edge. And not just the, like the song is good, but maybe even like the specific part of the song that you're thinking.

Like the bit after the chorus in that Linkin Park song, whatever, where he's just like, boom. What's the song? What's the song that can save Hit the spot? I think the stress and the pressure has gotten to him, unfortunately. He's been the best at hitting the spot. Until he wasn't. Yeah, musically speaking.

Dan would sing along to a track, we would then pull the song down and then right at the crescendo of the song I would bring the music back up to see if Dan was still in perfect time with the artist. And 99% of the time, well 100% of the time he would hit it and he was going viral, like these clips are getting 3-4 million views because he's so good at it. And then obviously you're going to miss one, but then when you miss the second one and

then you miss the third one, it's like, man, what is up? I want Dan to go back to when he was doing, hit the spot, like when he did Lady Gaga. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Ahhhhhhhhhh I'm the devil Bring back that Dan It feels so good doesn't it? It's so satisfying And that's, I mean, gosh I just um

Maybe it was me, maybe I am the No don't blame yourself Don't do that Okay Poppy we need a song that Dan can perform on Friday that'll either save the segment or put it to bed forever. What do you suggest? Okay, so I think that Dan should sing Hey Ya by Outkast. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

We get together. It'd be in his vocal range. We get together. What's better is better when you're feeling better. Okay, and then comes back, and I imagine right at the start of the chorus. Yeah, it's good. It's good. I do want more crescendo, though. I want a bigger crescendo than that. I think he could crack it. Yeah.

He could, he could. I feel like, Poppy, you're trying to give him like a level two song. Yeah, we want a level one. Trying to make it easy for him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He deserves a hard song. Yeah, I think I want like a level, I mean if there are 10 levels, I want one that's like a seven or an eight.

Yeah. I think. Okay, let's go to Janaya. Morning. Hello. Am I saying that right, bud? Yeah. Okay, what is your song suggestion? Ironic. Oh, when she comes in with That's Like Rain.

Oh yes, cause it's so soft and quiet. I can hear Dan doing that. Don't you think? A little too ironic. Oh, this is a great one. Yeah, I really do think. Janelle. That's like rain. Oh, put it in the top three.

Straight to the top three. That's going to be hard to beat Jenae, a fantastic suggestion. Thank you for pausing whatever you were doing this morning Jenae and coming on the show. Are you all there? I'm going to give you a voucher to go spend and store at Zed. You get free coffee for the week. Doing our job for us. And Amber, you've got a suggestion as well for Dan?

A song he might be able to do? Yes I do. What you got? Yep, Mr. Brightside by The Killers. Very good. He does love Mr. Brightside. Stay here the whole time? I think that is the best, that could work. It'll be going into the chorus.

Yeah right. Yeah. Okay we've had a few other suggestions on text that I think are bloody good that haven't made it to the phones. What about Sia, Chandelier? Oh my gosh. He'd come in, obviously, here. Another great one. It's a throwback. It's an old oldie but a goodie. ["Frozen"] We're ferocious as we gotta hold on

To what we've got With those amazing looks We have the music down. Dan would be singing away. For me, so far it's ironic or chandelier. Yeah. I think those are the ones that really made me feel the most. Stand back here.

Whoa Oh, it's good. Okay, we'll bring your suggestions through to Dan. We'll let him have the final say. But Friday will be the day. Will he hit the spot and save the bit? Or will he crash and burn, and we put it to bed, and let another radio station feast on the carcass

of hit the spot within minutes? Come on, come on, come on. If they're not going to do it, we'll do it. You can feel them circling. Any other radio shows are circling waiting for us to give it up. We won't give it up. We're the best forever. Piss off. Clint, Meg and Dan win $10,000 right now with the Edge 10K. Kia ora, good morning. Two past eight. Let's make you $10,000 richer.

And I had one question mark because I was like, I'll check it at the end. But nine out of ten questions, my bro. Dude, the last question was going to be a describing word. What would you have said? Um, generous. Yeah, he may have gotten that.

I don't know which is worse Hamish because we've debated this behind the scenes. Is it worse getting so close and missing out or do you think it'd be worse if you'd gotten two? Yeah. Oh it'd be worse if I got two. Okay. Okay all right.

Hopefully catch up with Meg before 8.30. Find out how things are going with Bubba after we popped in Dan and I yesterday. She's thriving. She's a legend. Yeah. Right now we're gonna do something new. We're calling it Hopeless Hotline. You might know I've got a podcast called Hopeless Romantics which is all about kind of romance and rom-coms. I've written a romance novel. I'm kind of obsessed with love and dating and relationships. And you both are very happily married. We love

talking about relationships on this show. We want especially our listeners to find love. And the longer you've been married, the more you love living vicariously through others who are still dating and going through apps and all that stuff. Love it. Yep, so if you have got a love problem,

maybe you're in the dating world, maybe you're in a relationship, and you've got something that maybe the girls' chat or the guys' chat just isn't helping in the way you need, and you need to something that maybe the girls chat or the guys chat just isn't helping in the way you need and you need to take it to the next level. You can always hit us up on social, shoot us a text, call us anytime.

But today we're going to deep down something that happened to a mate of mine this week back in Australia. So she is single, she's on the apps and she'd rocked up to a date with someone she'd never met in real life, just seen photos of. So I'm going to play the role of the girl. We're going to call her Cassandra and you can play the role of the guy. We're just going to call him Poohead. Okay.

So I'm Cassandra and you're Poohead. I was like, it's going to be the D bag. Yes. We're going to read, this is a text exchange that's had, this is in real time as Cassandra is rocking up to the date. She She says just walking in wearing jeans and a cardigan. It's fluffy I'm just by the real estate because I couldn't see you Black top inside okay. Thank you pooh head inside the ice cream shop I see you sorry. I'm gonna pass What?

Yeah, you look different to your photos. What do you mean, lol? Bigger. Good luck with everything. Are you serious? What the beep? End of text exchange. She has rocked up to a date. She's taken the time to get ready and he put a bit of makeup on, make her hair nice, he's chosen a lovely fluffy cardigan. She's gone into

the car, maybe public transport and rocked up to a date, which is a very vulnerable thing to do when you're looking for love. And that is the best that poo head could come up with. Bigger I'm going to pass. That is as low as it gets. How much conversing did they have? I would feel like you, maybe people can put on a pretty good front when they're flirting back and forth. And then when they just don't need to put up the front

anymore, you realise their true colours can shine very quickly. How hard is it to be courteous and polite to say, hey, how you going? Have a drink, have a 20 minute chat, wrap it up. Thanks for hanging out tonight. I don't see your connection. Good luck in the future.

But to stand across a room. You've gone through all the effort. Yes. You're right there to just hang out and have a conversation with another human being. Yes. Share a meal. He would want to look like late 90s Brad Pitt

to be dealing that sort of disgusting text. Like that's all, cause you sent me the screenshots, obviously read my part, which wasn't me, it wasn't playing someone else. It was part of who, yeah. For everyone who tuned in halfway. But just when she goes, what do you mean, lol, trying to keep it like fun, and he just takes bigger.

It's disgusting. It's absolutely disgusting. And so many of my single friends say to me, you don't understand what it's like out there. When I say, get on the apps, get out there. You know, you've got to put yourself, your best foot forward and give it a go. And so much of the response is like, you don't understand how dire it is.

You don't understand how foul people can be. And this is men and women saying it. And text exchanges like that just prove that some people need a basic lesson in kindness. Because what did she do after that? When she was like, are you serious? See where she left. Of course she's just going to turn around and go home and cry. Yeah, like that's what I mean. Like you'd feel awful about yourself. Yeah, and that person.

Someone didn't even want to like meet you because they'd made a judgment call on how you looked and saying that you looked different to your photos. Yeah, they could have just spent 20, 30 minutes, like have a drink, have a laugh, have a bit of banter, and then you can say at the end of it, look, I really enjoyed my time, but I probably won't see you again. But to be that, it's just cruel.

Somebody's ticked saying, how old are her photos though? Like, okay. Even if the photos are old though, which I don't know the photo she used, does that excuse to not even have the courtesy to walk across the room and talk to someone face to face, to just text them? Yeah, that person sounds like someone might have been burned before, with like, do you

have to have your photos? Like current, like on the dating apps and refresh them every month or every couple of months? I don't think that eliminates like just appalling behaviour from somebody. Yes, it is appalling behaviour. And we would love to hear your thoughts on this 3343 can shoot us a text, 0800 THE EDGE. I mean, is anyone out there willing to defend Poohead?

His name's probably Adam, I don't know his real name is, but we're calling it Poohead. Yeah. 0800 THE EDGE. Say what you want wanna say, Clint. Three, three, four, three. I mean, you're going to get people who are going to turn around and go, hey, he's straight to the point,

he knows what he wants, he's not wasting her time. If he doesn't want a girl that whatever your friend's size is, then he's saving her time. You're gonna get those people. But you can be, Annie, I get what we're asking. Yeah, you're right, you can be direct and be kind. Yes, okay. We wanna hear from you guys. Please weigh in on this. Three, three, four, three. I went under the edge. A, okay. We want to hear from you guys.

Please weigh in on this. Three, three, four, three. Oh, 100. A lot of people want us to call them. Yeah, we don't have his number. Oh, 100, poof heads. But right now we are talking about a text exchange that happened between Ash's friend in Australia

and a blind date that she went on. Yeah, so they'd seen the photos on the app. She rocked up and they were texting like, she's saying, oh, I'm over here. I'm in the cardigan. And he said, I see you. Sorry, I'm over here, I'm in the cardigan. And he said, I see you, sorry I'm gonna pass. You look different from the photos. Bigger, pretty much said, I don't like the look of you.

I'm not gonna waste my time with a date. Now, we're calling him Poo Head because we don't know his real name. And I would say that 100% of the texts come through are along the lines of, Denise who said Poo Head is a wanker. And we've got to all agree with you on that one. Yeah, of course you know you're always going to get

people playing devil's advocate. Somebody texted, feels like it was a different story when we were all talking about that guy on Married at First Side Australia, when he was bigger and he was putting up skinny photos of himself on social media and it all blew up after the fact saying that he was being misleading to people. I do think you've got to expect that people

are gonna put their very hottest photos up in real life. They might be 20% different. And that's human nature. We all wanna put our best foot forward in the hopes that you meet someone, you get along and then the looks aren't as important. Yeah, Tim, I think that person's talking about. I hate that guy. I don't know who he is, but I hate him. Yeah, yeah.

Cheyenne, good morning. Hello. Hey, thanks for being cool. You wanted to weigh in on this guy who, like, is very, very direct and very also unkind in the process. He is. I think it's rude. Yeah. So what's your experience been? Are you on the apps?

I am. And I find, once they find out that you're a larger person and they don't want anything to do with you, they feel if you're not as skinny mini that you're just not worth the time these days. And they don't get the, they don't take the time to actually learn your personality. Yeah, it's disgusting. Do you find that you have to be really upfront in your photos about what you look like in the hopes that a good person is going to go, great, cool, and have a date with you and then realise that you're a legend?

Like, not that you have to do that, but do you feel like there is this expectation of blunt honesty? There is, and at least all of my photos, I make sure that you can see, at least there's at least one that you can see that I am a larger person. Yeah. And I mean, otherwise you tell them and they go,

that's okay, and then they meet you and then they're like, oh. God. It's just, I don't. Yeah, it is soul crushing, but I mean, and it's sad too that you've come to expect it these days as well.

It's also sad, Shane, that your weight, whether it's bigger or smaller, like it doesn't define you. Like it's so crazy that feels like what you're saying is that it becomes this defining reason as to whether someone will or won't get to know you. And there's so much more to you than how big or small we are. So often you can be like, oh, I prefer brunettes.

And then you might meet a blonde and be like, oh, but she's so beautiful. I mean, we get along in a such vibe. I'll make an exception even though I have a type. Yeah, but we don't kind of make the same exception for body types. I think society's got so much further to go. Good on you, Cheyenne, for putting yourself out there.

I hope you find a really wonderful person who's just gonna love all of you. It's what you deserve, babe Thank you. We got another text I want to read out because this has made my blood absolutely boil She said the same thing happened to me except this dude went through with the date even had the nerve to stay over at mine Then the next day ghosted me after about a week. He texts me saying I was way too big for him and he wasn't interested in me. So rather than being like upfront about his intentions, he was like I may as well and then I'll just run later. That's disgusting. That is so disgusting. And those are the kind

of experiences for, I can only speak as a woman, they're the kind of experiences when something like that happens to you, that changes the chemistry inside you forever. Like you remember how that felt in the moment forever and that permanently alters the way you see yourself and your place in the world. We need to remember that the way we treat people, especially when it's with women and their bodies, is like so, it has such an effect on women and how they're not all women I'm sure a lot of women can let things go and like water for ducks, but I know that for me I remember pretty much every time someone has insulted my body and there's probably been thousands of times that people have told me I'm so beautiful, but you remember the yeah. Yeah, it's easy to remember the hard stuff. I someone's made a good point here

I'm not a fan of weight-shaming, but a woman judges a man by height. Ah, that is Damien. Morning, bro. Morning. This is a good point, Damien. It's an interesting one because, yeah, a lot of short guys will argue it's not something that they can change or have any influence over,

but girls make it very clear that they aren't into short guys, and if they're shorter than them, it's like a turn-off straight away. Are you a short man Damien or is this just an observation you've made? Yeah I'm a short man. Okay. I'm a short man myself. And how has that affected your dating life? I'm not dating anymore just back in the past so I've got a partner now but in past life and stuff it was always affected and stuff like that. And how would you feel if you rocked up to a date and the girl sent a text from across the room and said, sorry, you're too short, I'm going home.

It'd be pretty embarrassing. Hmm. Totally. Yeah, that argument always comes up, especially to throw back to married at first sight, because you have girls and at the top of their list is he needs to be taller than me. And I guess there's nothing you can do about it. So you imagine the flip side of that, having like a top of your list as he needs to be taller than me. And I guess there's nothing you can do about it. You imagine the flip side of that, having like a top of your must have

and they have to be a certain weight. You know? I don't know, it does feel different though, doesn't it? And I think perhaps it is because for so long, for generations, women have had this kind of societal expectation of your body has to look one way, but then in the same way, it's like, yeah, but we want our men to be tall.

Yeah. God, it's a great point for James Risen. Well, Damien's gone and throwing a cat amongst the pigeons on that one. Thanks, Damien. Appreciate you weighing him, my bro. Nah, no worries. Shit's black.

It's just a reminder, we have to be kind to people and just show people courtesy. We have to look out for each other. We were just talking about the first date, so blind date that your friend went on. Well not really a blind date, they still had seen each other's photos on social media but he turned around and was like,

hey sorry I'm gonna bail. Before she even sat down. Not said, texted. Oh that's right. Text didn't even say to her face. She said why and he just texted back bigger. Yeah, you're bigger than your photos. Couldn't even give her the courtesy of a drink.

Interesting what you were saying as well Ash where you were like, how guys especially, and sometimes it's embarrassing when we're talking about like guys behaviour and just sitting here as one, about how we have to be more careful with the conversations we have and the way that we behave when we're dealing with a woman in a dating situation, even just in regards to their self-esteem,

that could be weight related. And because, like you said, you remember every single negative thing that's being said about your appearance. And it does go both ways, because I know, Clint, you've probably had experiences in your life, especially in this industry where people think they have the right to just like be so flippant and tell you you're crap or you're not funny or whatever. And then they forget about it.

They move on. And you stay with it for five years. Totally. Because you never forgot the scathing comment that was text thrown. And you kind of like, it becomes something that you ruminate over and focus on so much. And I saw this video and I started sending around

to all my friends and I'm like, well if I want my friends to see it, I want my wife to see it, then I want you to see it. Yeah. Tony Robbins. Love him. Isn't he the best? I won't hear a bad word about him.

Throwback to when I first discovered him, I think when he was on like Shallow Hell. She was. With Jack Black. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which was probably full circle moment was what we've been talking about. But yeah, he's an incredible guy.

He's got a podcast. He's obviously on social media, just doing the most, telling people how to live their life. And he said something that I think talks into what we've just been discussing on the most, telling people how to live their life. And he said something that I think talks into what we've just been discussing on the show, that if people's opinions of you are really determining how you feel about yourself, then you need to hear this. Focus equals feeling.

Whatever you focus on, you're gonna feel. Even if it's not true and you focus on it, you will feel like it's true. Focus equals reality to the individual, even though it's not reality in actuality. We do not experience life. We only experience the life we focus on. What's wrong is always available.

So is what's right. But it all determines on what you focus on. Right now there are millions of things happening. You can focus on millions, yes, literally millions. Because there's lots of things your brain basically distorts, deletes, and generalizes. If you were to take in everything that's happening consciously, you'd go stark raving mad. literally millions. Because there's lots of things your brain basically distorts, deletes, and generalizes. If you were to take in everything that's happening

consciously, you'd go stark raving mad. And so what happened is, some people are pissed off and some people are worried, has nothing to do with the other person, has nothing to do with the event. It has to do with what you focus on. So we don't experience life, so the most important skill in life

is controlling your focus. That's very, very true. Crazy, eh? You focus on something and you always kind of magnify it, right? You make it bigger. Everything that happens in your life that feeds into that tells you that what you're thinking about is true.

But then we're also missing and not looking for the things that are contrasting to that. Totally. That is the root of my anxiety, is the fact that I focus on things that could happen in the future. And I focus on it so much, even though it's not true, like Tony said, you're focusing on something that is not reality, that is not true. It becomes true because I think about it so much

that my body starts to react as if it is true. This bad thing's going to happen, this bad thing's going to happen, what if that happens, what if that happens? My body thinks it's happening now. So I'm reacting to something purely because I'm focusing on it so much. Because on the other hand, what I could do is focus on, like he said, something that is positive that I know to be true. How lucky am I that I have a beautiful son who's healthy?

How lucky am I that I live in beautiful Aotearoa with like access to food, like all these things that are true, I know them to be true. How lucky am I that I have great curly hair? But we don't focus on those things. We focus on the negative. Thank you so much. We focus on the negatives.

That one guy who told me I'm too fat, that one person who said I'm not funny, and then we focus on it, it becomes our reality and then it becomes our identity. Yeah. And it's from focusing on something that isn't even true or hasn't even happened yet, the power of our mind.

I mean, Tony Robbins. Too true. I could talk about him forever. There's a reason why he's one of the best. And he's loaded. Yeah, I'm gonna give you another 99 US dollars now. Where's my credit card? Clint, Megan, Dan.

I'm gonna give you another 99 US dollars now. Where's my credit card? Clint, Meg and Dan. The A-lister list. Dan and I agree on a lot of things. The thing we never agree on is whether one celebrity in particular is an A-lister or a B-lister. Jim Carrey, the most, the biggest bone of contention. Yeah, he's an A-lister.

Who is just A for me all day. Like A all day baby. Dan will not cave. And he's not even, he says he's not even-list right before. Who is just A for me all day. Like A all day baby. And Dan will not cave. And he's not even, he says he's not even doing it to wind me up. He said he just doesn't deserve to be there. Like Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, like so many. Oh my gosh. It's so strange to me. Liar, liar. Do you know what it is he's jealous.

Yeah, I think he is. He's jealous of the funny guy. Alright, so I've got three this week obviously. And look, it's a shame that Dan's not here because I specifically chose pretty much all three of these for him, and you'll see why. But I have texted him and from his deathbed, his flu deathbed, he has given me his judgeings. One of them's really surprised me.

Okay, so the first person on the, I believe, A-list, Celine Dion. Celine. ["You're Here"] Celine Dion. Celine Dion. Yeah. My daughter sings Celine Dion songs. She's like 10. I always think as well, if Celine Dion walked around the edge office here, everyone would lose it.

Like every single person stops what they're doing because Celine Dion's here. She's iconic. Oh, Webkill Bell has just stood up and shaken her head no. She also didn't know any of the gents equal. I'm automatic bae. I also didn't know any of the Gen Z. I'm automatic bae. I don't really know who she is. What about the Titanic? Did you ever watch the Titanic? That was like... Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Is that her? My heart will go on. Yes. Okay not everyone's getting up to get a photo then. Yeah no apart from Bella but I would get

two photos I'd get one for Bella and for me. Like if she walked through the office I wouldn't be able to breathe. Dan's gone A on Celine. Obviously he's gone A on Celine. He's like a sis with her and I'm not going to do what Dan does and put her at B just to antagonize him because that's not the game for me. No we're all saying A and if you're listening and you disagree of course we're all is we would love to hear from you this is your show as much as it is ours. Do you want the next one? Yeah Okay, so this is something that's often very controversial for us, especially with Dan because there's this idea of like old-school celebrities Films, movies, TV, whatever, but then there's the new school celebrities which are internet based like Mr. Beast We were like A-lister. Dan was like absolutely not. I think you can be an old school a Lissa and a new school way

Well, yeah Well, this would definitely be a new school a Lister but I'm doing this person won Donald Trump the election because they're so influential And I'm talking about Joe Rogan. Hi We're cool man national geographic society, we just come to make sure your baby's okay I already know Dan is going to like why wind me up with this from his sick bed. Yeah. He's A, Joe Rogan is A. I agree that he's an A.

He was on Fear Factor, he was the host back in the day, and then now he's got the biggest podcast in the world. Podcasting is such a massive medium, and he is at the peak of the mountain. He's one of the most influential media personalities, maybe the most influential. UFC commentator as well, so he lives in that space, Producer Carl? I would say that Joe Rogan peaked a couple of years ago.

And now that Stephen Bartlett's come along with Diary of a CEO, he's gone into the A, and Joe slipped back in. True, like, okay, he might not be... What, you're saying Stephen... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. He's saying Stephen Bartlett, Diary of a CEO, is more of an A-lister than Joe Rogan. Yeah, I reckon he is. No, get off it.

Turn his mic off. I've been listening to Darius CEO podcast for like a year and I only just learned his name was Steve like a month ago. I was just like, the guy who does the... Joe Rogan is an A-lister. Joe Rogan, yeah, even if he isn't, even if he's not the best podcast

or the most-listened podcast in the world, we just know who he is when we say Joe Rogan. Yeah, so Dan's obviously said he's a B-lister. Did he? Yeah. I knew he did. Okay, but hey, hey, this is... Oh gosh, Karen Stewart, Joe Rogan shouldn't be on any list. We're not talking about whether we trust them to make decisions about the future or not be a conspiracy theorist.

Like, does Joe get to the front of the queue and the bouncer goes, sorry man, you're not on the list? And he goes, I'm Joe Rogan. And he goes, Joe who? That's not happening to Joe Rogan. But I reckon a bouncer is his peak audience. A big strong dude. Yeah, I love Joe Rogan. Okay, so we're saying A, Dan's saying B.

Joe Rogan's never had to say, do you know who I am when someone's mistaken him for somebody else? Or not been it? Yeah, but let us know. And the third one. What's happened? Someone said Joe Rogan has never had to say, do you know who I am? When someone's mistaken him for somebody else or not being it. And the third one. What's happened? Someone said Joe Rogan is C. What? Lenore, C.

Okay, we'll debate Joe Rogan next then. Okay, and the last one, an easy A for me, Lewis Hamilton. What's Dan done here? Because he was talking about him last week and he didn't guarantee him. And he loves F1. A-list. Dan has gone with B.

B for one of his favourite Formula One drivers. And even what I've just done right now proves that maybe he is a B. I've just done that thing in radio where I've context the celebrity so that everyone listening knows who he is. Whereas if he was A-listed, maybe I wouldn't have naturally even done that. I had to say he's a Formula One driver.

We're getting a lot of texts. Kelly reckons Lewis is an A. That's a good point. I go. Would I have to contextualise who Lewis Hamilton is for my seven-year-old mother? Probably. Bridget Scarl. Well, Lewis Hamilton had that musical written about him.

So like he is huge. Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers of the American Civil War. I need to stop going to him. That's alright. What is this? Ok, like going to Carl for comment. Oh, I thought you meant Lewis Hamilton. Ash and I are discussing a couple of celebrities where there's been some controversy because

even though Dan is not here and he always argues differently to the two of us, he's texting his thoughts with the celebrities he threw out even though he's sick today. Yeah and once again we kind of disagree with him. It's like you and me versus him. But we are very different. He's just a bit nerdy than us. Celine Dion, she's a, she's a. We agree on something.

It's Joe Rogan and Lewis Hamilton who are being discussed. Normally I wouldn't go to chat GPT on this, but I thought I'd ask anyway, what percentage of the world population need to know somebody for them to be considered an A-lister? Funny enough, chat GPT said 50 to 60% global recognition, which is I guess- It's pretty high I think.

Four to five billion people. Oh gosh, that's terrifying isn't it. It says that you have to be recognisable by face and name and be known outside of your home country. Yes you need to be able to if you saw them in the street know their name and if you saw their name you need to be able to picture their face that's a great point. All right if we can't uh work it out then you get to decide. Callum if you'd like to weigh in. Morning bro. Good morning how are you? Good, bro.

What do we reckon? Celine's a gimme, right? She's on. She's an A. Yeah, Celine's definitely a gimme. I mean, you can't really go past that on into N, into a B at all. Yes, she's gonna be pretty iconic

for a good number of years, even going past now. So where are we putting Joe Rogan and Lewis Hamilton? Okay, Joe Rogan, he's only really just an A-lister at the moment, I'm my opinion, because there are so many people out there with conspiracy podcasts and all that sort of stuff, and all the stuff that he does. There are so many people out there that do that these days, that unless you knew him before he really started doing that yeah well i did know about that lost it after after the first couple of seasons mate come do you listen to joe rogan's podcast okay you were fan of the podcast and that's why you

think he's kind of an a-lister or you don't listen but you still think he's an a-lister you think he's kind of an A-lister or you don't listen, but you still think he's an A-lister? I used to watch his podcast, but now there's just so many out there that just all do the same. Gotcha. A little flattered. Okay, what about Lewis Hamilton?

A or B? Sorry? A or B for Lewis Hamilton then? Yeah, oh, Lewis Hamilton, yeah. Until you actually met him, what he did, I didn't even know who the hell he was. Oh my God! That's a pretty good barometer.

All right, thank you, Callum, for your input on the A-listers today. Kirstie, you want to weigh in on Joe Rogan. We think he's an A-lister. Dan thinks he's a B-lister. What are your thoughts on Joe? Yeah, I mean, you guys mentioned his name and I had no idea who he was.

I'd never even heard of him before. So for me, he doesn't, he's not an A, B or C. Can't go past that Clint. Gosh. He's a nothing. Someone else texted and saying, if the A-lister was a 100-floor skyscraper, Michael Jordan's in the penthouse, Joe Rogan's lucky if he's in the lobby. It's a great analogy. And a lot of other people saying, Clint, does your dad know?

Because that'll determine. And this is a throwback to a game we used to play at school, does Clint's dad know? And we'd throw out celebrities, and the celebrities would get bigger and bigger and bigger. And if you threw out a name that my dad did know, because he's so bad with celebrities, you lost the game for the team and dad won.

So it's going to be the biggest celebrity that dad doesn't know. We had to get through a bunch of names and if we could without him knowing we won the game but he knew who they were. And Dad is shocking so if he knows either of them then I guess people are saying maybe they are A-listers. Does your Dad know who Joe Rogan is? Because my old man was a concrete contractor for like 30 years, now retired, just enjoying

life now and the fruits of his labour. Let's see if he knows. It's probably either water. John speaking. G'day dad. Hi Clint. Hey mate um I was gonna play the game my brother and I play with that a rag or no rag it's like game within a game um too many games my brother and I play with that a rag or no rag it's like game within a game. Too many games. Just dad's always got a rag in his hand. Focus on one game. No rag or no rag dad. Are you cleaning something? Are you cleaning anything? No no no I'm not cleaning anything. Alright anyway. I'm just thinking about getting out of bed. Oh what must be nice. Hey dad I just want to ask you two quick questions. Who is Joe Rogan? Joe Rogan.

I wouldn't have a clue, mate. Okay. Okay, he's officially on the B-list. Do you remember the host of Fear Factor? Steer Fear in the Feast for $50,000? Oh, yeah. Yeah, was that him? Yeah, okay.

Was that him? Okay, he's a B, and Dan? Who is Lewis Hamilton? Sorry? Lewis Hamilton, who that him? Yeah, okay. Was that him? Okay, he's a B, and then? Who is Lewis Hamilton? Sorry? Lewis Hamilton, who is he? Um, should I, should no. He's so cute. What do you think he does?

I said I know the name. Take your time. Have a little cough and a laugh. Yeah have a stab. Lewis Hamilton. If you could choose any job for a man called Lewis Hamilton what would he be doing? Yeah like just the country sort of just like waiting but honestly like I said don't rush like you have plenty of time even though you're like in your 60s now. Nah I'm... I just say an occupation. Not a racing car driver. He's googled! He's plotting to googled it! Get out of the little jake!

You're such a jake! Get off that! You're such a sweet. Get out. Thanks, Jonny. OK, see you, Dan. I think, yeah, look, I think we've got to put Joe and Lewis Hamilton Bs. Oh, my God, so Dan was right. Celine A, Joe Rogan B, Lewis Hamilton B.

I think this is the first time ever that the people and Jon have agreed with Dan Webby. He's not even here to gloat, which is a good thing. You can see where I get my constant talking from. Are you putting him in a spot? Holy shit, you made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow.
