This is a podcast from Rover. If this podcast was a person, it would be banned from family gatherings. Oh, pissed off, Uncle John. This is the Clint McGinn-Dan podcast. Morning, this show contains fake tan, real regrets, and one Australian hostage situation. It's the it's breakfast. Clip Ming and Dan with Ash London. Morning.

Clint's actually away today. You got Cal jumping in. Oh, boo. No, just kidding. We're so happy to have you here, Dale. Loving the haircut. Cowell has got like a brand-new buzzer. Would you call it that a bus cut or is it not quite that?

No, it's a buzz cut. No, it's not. I asked for a buzz cut. A buzz cut is when you can like see skin, isn't it? No, that's a skin cut. A fade. It looks good. It's a skinned.

I was saying in the kitchen this morning that he looks like he's from a 90s boy band, but not a 90s boy band reunion in 2020s, O.G. 90s boy band. So he's just formed the Backstreet Boys. Exactly. It's opposed to Clint probably looks like he's on the Reformation tour. I'll take that. Clint's got a similarly hair cut to Cal, but his is blonde, almost like he's dying away the great. Well, see, I was thinking about bleaching mine, but I said, maybe just hold off for a bit.

Just give it time. Let it breathe. And also you want your haircut to be cool and talk of the office as opposed to the second person to do it in one week. Yeah, maybe when Clint goes back to normal, that's when I'm like, all right, here's my chance. Yeah. Bada bribing, but we do miss him this week. Well, today, hopefully he's back tomorrow. No offense to you, Cal.

No, fair enough. But he's resting at home with Jamie. Yeah, and we hang out on the week. and so hopefully he hasn't spread it round us. Yeah, I was in an Uber with both of them. And you know how I am about germs. Yeah, and you're always passion other people as well. Yeah, I passed Jamie twice and Clint once.

So fingers crossed. That's all you can do. We're going to have a fun show today. Yeah, lots coming up actually. You know what? Mike Hosking joins us from News Talk ZB to wrap up the weekend. So good of him. There's a brand new competition, which we're going to give away 15 million.

15 millie. Wow. He won't tell us. 15 millie what. All we know is that the CEO, Wendy, personally put Dan in charge of our next monetary giveaway segment. Yeah, I had a terrible idea from her. I had to back Wendy into a corner and really beg her for the money. She's giving it to me. She said, okay, 15 milly, all yours. 7 o'clock, I'll let you know more details on that.

Clint McG and Dan. Oh, oh my gosh. Clint Megan Dan with Ash, London. Clint is away sick today. You got Cal from the Edge Days filling in at the moment. Days. I was going to say to Edge Nights, but that's kind of changing the moment. Or day parts. I'm everywhere, man. Anytime we want you, we get you in here. And are you doing days today or are you going home early? Oh, going home early?

Yeah, as it would. Surely, right? You can't be working from 5 a.m. to bloody dry, whatever that. Gosh, no. That happens all the time. To be fair, that happens to me every day because I do a night show as well. Anyway, it's fine. Throwback time.

And we've kind of, a song was scheduled, and when we looked up the artist, we're like, first we forgot he existed. But now I've done a bit of. of deep diving and realise there's so much about old mate B-O-B we didn't know. Now B-O-B, he's almost the same age as me. He's a month younger. Oh, yeah, he's a month younger than me.

What's his birthday? November 15th. It's a great time to have a birthday. Yeah. Mid-November just before Christmas. Yeah, it is. Still get your presents. He's done a lot of stuff.

He's worked with a lot of people as well. Like, and he's done a song, you'll like this cow, done a song for Grand Theft Auto. The new one? No, the previous one. Oh, wow. Is it five the last one? Yeah, five was the last one.

So he did an original song called AutoTune, which features it on one of the radio stations in game. I wonder how much he gets paid for that. Millions. Because if GTA is doing it, you're going to go in and be like, well, I know how big that budget it is. Yeah. Do you reckon it's like he gets paid every time it plays within a game radio?

Great question. What if that's a thing? True, like APRA, within game stuff. Yeah. Do you know my friends call Kate Miller? and there's an Australian singing called Kate Miller Hideke and for years Kate Miller

kept getting Kate Miller Hydeke's APRA checks and that arrived in the match she kept writing to APRA being like guys stop sending me someone else's money awkward and then we knew for years how much Kate Miller Hydeke was getting

and where else it was not a lot because she could put them in her bank account because she's got the same name right she could take them to the bank we've got the check and you got the same name why not yeah crazy come on did you know so we're about to play Magic by

Bob what I didn't know is that the main singer in this is not B-O-B, obviously, because B-O-B is a rapper. It's the lead singer of Weezer. Really? What? That there. Yeah. Has he credited on the song? I don't know.

No, it's just B-O-B. Oh, no. Is this name Rivers? Rivers Cuomo. Yeah, no, it's credited there, yeah. And Dr. Luke produced it, who's the guy that Kesha took to court for being problematic. So, boo to you, Dr. Luke, if you're listening. Hey, that's still a banger of a song.

Still a banger. There's quite a few bangers from him. Who know? We've got Airplane. It's a lot. Haley Williams from Paramol. Also, he had one with, um... He did Price Tag. He was on Price Tag.

Shut up. Yeah. That was the rap part. Man, so catchy. His real name is Bobby Simmons. As if you wouldn't just go by Bobby Simmons. That is cool. It's more a crooner name, isn't it?

Like Bobby Simmons as opposed to like, I'm a rapper, Bobby Simmons. Do you think the B-O-B stands for something? He's named Bobby, so it's the first three letters of his name. But there's like dots, though. Yeah, but that's like you being C-A-L and people will be like, what does that stand for? Yeah, but I don't put dots between the letters. Yeah, but if you did, people will be like, okay, it's because it's the first three letters of his name. Cal's amazing language.

Yeah, keep it as just cow. All right, well, should we throw it back? No, I think we should talk for the 20 minutes about B-A-B. All right, here it is. Throw it back for this morning. It's been scraping the barrel, isn't it? The Clint Migg and Dan podcast Went out for dinner

Last night Or the actually Saturday night Clint's myself and Ash with the partners Oh I can't believe you didn't invite me I'm on the show now And we didn't know that I had known Clint was about to get sick Do you think I would be going out to dinner with him as if

It would have gotten easily So we went out for a lovely curry And then we went our separate ways And Hannah was with me And we were like We went our separate ways because Dan and his wife Hannah about five times said they had to go

to get their mum was babysitting, blah, blah, blah. So we're like, we're kind of keen for a kick on. We're like, we're not going to kick on without them, and we'll all just go home. Yeah, and so we were parked in Sky City, which is like a casino area in Auckland, and we were going up the escalator and we got out at the floor where the casino was,

and I was like, should we just go in and have a little flutter? It's a sign, a little naughty little flutter, and I had a $20, $1, $20 note, which I'd been saving for like when I needed cash. Yeah. And so we went and I said to Hannah, put it on a roulette table. And so she took the thing and she just put $20 on red in the first table we got. So if you don't know, if you put it on red, you're doubling your money or you're losing your money.

It's a 50-50 chance. And bada-bing, bada-boom, happy day. She doubles it instantly $40. So then you'd think that we would have gone, let's just call it quits. We've doubled our money and let's just go home. No, no, no, this is what I'd do. dinner was 170 per couple we've got 130 more to win

yeah so then I was like hash give it to me I'm going to go again so we went to another table and I put it down again boom 80 dollars we were jumping up and down Hannah and I like this went to like three minutes

in we've walked in 80 dollars give it back to Hannah she goes to another table back on red full 80 dollars gone oh and just that's gambling for you that's how easy it is The house always wins. It always, what are you doing?

I would have done the same thing. Yeah. Because we got cocky. That's the thing. You made one cardinal mistake. Yeah. Once you get to 80, you take out the original 20. We should have done it.

Back in the pocket. So that whatever happens, you're back to neutral rookie. I know. And then you got 60 to play with. And then that's free money. Because the thing is, if we'd won again on the 80, that's basically dinner sort of. That's what we were kind of going for. And so, yeah, we lost it.

So we ended up losing $20 in the end. That's fine. My uncle Billy is a professional gambler, and that sounds dodgy, but it's not. Is that a thing? I don't know if it's. Well, he is a lucky gambler. He's addicted to gambling. No, no, but that's the thing.

He's the most non-addictive personality in the world. He's very logical, and he's a freak with numbers and odds and things. So this man bets on anything. So he's like Brain Man. Yes, pretty much. Horses, sports, like radio countdowns. at all. And there's no emotion attached to it whatsoever. I've watched him win

$20,000 and lose it and the reaction is the same because it's just a running total in his mind. I want it's like 70th birthday. He took the whole family out to the cast for dinner. We know why we're going to the cast. Not for dinner. Daddy's got work to do. So he pays for everyone. It would have been like

two grand, probably a beautiful dinner for like 20, 30 of us. And then I'm watching him right. And as soon as dessert's done, and he's not one to sit around and talk for hours. He looks at his son Jeffrey and gives him the nod and I'm like, oh, they're gone. He's going and went dinner back. And I'm like, please let me come, please let me come.

So I follow them to the high rollers area. Like, hello, Mr. Beep, they let him in. Those ones where you have to be like a special member. An OG, totally. By the way, my uncle looks homeless all the time. Like, looks homeless. Drives an old bit up corolla with polo styron in one of the lights. His wife's in a brand new BMW.

That's how he is. It looks homeless. We go in there and I watch him win back the $2,000. Tip the dealer the second he gets his money back. tips a dealer, see you boys think, and leaves. Professional. There is just no part of him that's like, let's keep going. It's just all about, this is what I need to make it.

Do the mouth, see ya. Yeah. Was it two minutes? Because it is sad. When you go into the casino, and I think I noticed it on the weekend, as it is, there's lots of people in there that you can just tell are always there. Always thing. And it's such a, I think it's almost a pandemic around the world of these people

that just kind of go along and they just sit on the pokies. Yeah. Have you seen a Louis Thruh thing about Vegas? Oh, the people that wear nappies? Yeah, and there was one. woman who'd, who estimates that she spent a million US dollars a year on the pokies. So the, they sent, they put on a birthday party for her, all this stuff. She's like, they're like, they're like, my family.

And they're like, yeah, because they're making so much money off you. And they spoke to her parents, her kids, because she inherited the money after her husband died. And they were like, it's her money. Like, it makes her happy. Like, who are we to say you need to give it to us? If it makes her happy, she's an adult, let her live, which I think was so kind, but also, damn. Well, let my story be a lesson to you.

I will win and with 20, left with zero. Yeah. The house always wins. Gamble responsibly, Ontario. Clint Meg and Dan. Lesh goal. Time for this. First call of the day.

First goal of the day. I'm excited to talk to this one. He's from Wellington. Good morning, Liam. Good morning. Good morning. Oh, God, he's chipper on a Monday morning. How long have you been awake, bro?

Oh, well, coming up on like four hours now. Okay, that's why. Now, this is very, very interesting, and I'm so excited to chat to you. So it says here, your job. You are the guy that puts the toys inside the Kinder Surprise eggs. Shut up. That's epic. You're too right.

You're too right. So how do you do it? It's witchcraft. How is it happening? It's like, so they're like split into two and laid on the machine, and we like insert the toy in before the other half gets molded onto the. at the base of the egg. And are you hand putting in the impregnating the eggs, or is that a machine?

Oh, sometimes we put them in, sometimes we get the machine. But, you know, if the machine doesn't work sometimes, we'll jump in and do it. But I'd say it's 50-50 between us and the machine. And how do they mould the two hards of the egg back together? Is it a heating mechanism or is it something else? Well, it's very, very complicated because, you know, if you heat the chocolate up too much, it melts the chocolate egg. Yes.

So it's a very, very complicated, you know, system we've got going. But it's a heating system, yeah. Yeah, he's not going to go into too much detail, Ash, because she doesn't want you to know the sequence. No way. It's like the herbs and spices at KFC, can we hand in that out. Liam. Do you think you'd ever be able to sneak in a cheeky fibre and then, like, someone gets a, like, someone gets a kinda surprise and then it's from Liam, a $5 note?

That would be breaking code of conduct. Of course it would be. We've signed secret waivers and stuff. I can't, can't do that. Oh, I don't, for some reason, I thought that the kind of surprise eggs were made offshore and they were brought into New Zealand. What's the company where, is it, Kinda? Yeah, yeah, Kinda.

Yeah. Wow, I love that. We know as well, yeah. I would have more Kinda surprises now knowing that they're made here. I love that. I love that. You know what? I'm going to say something controversial now.

Oh, God. And there's going to be people that are probably listening right now that are going to hate me because of saying this. I reckon Kinda chocolate's better than Wittaker's. Wow. Too right, too right. It's the best chocolate ever. I reckon it is.

It's creamier. It's got a different. It's delicate. Yeah, it is. It's delicate. It melts in your mouth. Yes, it does. And I reckon it's a bloody good chocolate.

And the wafering one and a little... And then also the surprises. I mean, they've got such a nostalgic palming. You're too young, I'll understand. But when we were kids, a kind of surprise was the goat. Oh, my goodness, me. And what's going to be in... What toy is going to be in that egg?

Who bloody knows? Well, thank you so much for calling Liam. A couple of pies coming your way. Coffee from Zed. Thank you so much. That was really cool. I can't believe that was Liam's job. I know.

We should keep a telling. of the people that call in who have interesting jobs. Let's start and we'll put Liam on as the first one. He's up there. He's number one at the moment. The guy that puts the toys and kind of surprise he eggs. He's the only one on the list, so you'd hope he's number one. Incredible.

Right. We've got scandal coming up next. Yes, I am a big pride and prejudice. Not just Pride and Prejudice. It's a Jane Austen head. I've watched all the Pride and Prejudice is 52 times and there's a new one coming and Netflix one. And I've got some news on it as well as a very famous scene

that will be omitted with People saying it is because this adaptation is going woke. Oh, I hate woke stuff. I knew you was, which is why I'm talking about it. Clip me and Dan with Ash London. There's a big old Venn diagram of Ash and Dan, and the crossover gets bigger and bigger every week, I feel. Yeah.

What would be in the middle so far? Selene Dion. We've both got a very big love of Celine. Musicals, we love. So far that's it, I suppose. Gambling? Gambling. We've learned this morning.

Huge addiction to gambling. Pazual but very intense. Yes. And I love Jane Austen. So I own all of the Jane Austen books. That is my go-to comfort read. I just will sit in bed and just read Jane Austen. I'll watch anything and everything that he's made that is any adaptation of Jane Austen.

I think I've got the love of it through my wife Hannah, who is like you, Ash, a huge Jane Austen fan. One of the best movies I've seen is Little Women, the last... That's Louise of Jane Alcott. But same, same, same. Similar vibe. Yeah, yeah. But Jane Austen, yeah, fantastic writer.

Yep, so there's so far two main adaptations of Pride and Prejudice. There's the, um, we pretty much people refer, like, we refer to them as whoever played Mr Darcy. So there's like the Colin Firth one, which was a series in, I guess, like the mid-90s. And then there was the 2005 version with Kieran Knightley. Wasn't as good. Well, I used to think that, but I do love that the movie version is a bit more cinematic and romantic because it's just kind of... And then the new one coming to Netflix

and it is written by Dolly Alderton who's one of my favourite British writers and screenwriters. She's so cool. She's so smart. But one of the most famous scenes in the book and in the BBC adaptation is a scene where Mr Darcy goes swimming in the lake.

And when he gets out, he's kind of in his undergarments. And back then you would never let someone of the opposite sex see you in your undergarments. God forbid. This is the audio of him. of the OG coming out of the lake and he happens across Elizabeth Bennett. Mr. Doss?

Miss Bennett. I did not expect to see you, sir. We understood all the family from home or we should never presume. I returned a day early. Excuse me, your parents are in good health. Yes, they are very well. Thank you, sir.

I'm glad to hear it. Oh, that was me, by the way, not this. How long have you been in this country? But today, sir? Am I staying? At the end of Lampton? Okay, well, that's enough. So just to some context, not that anyone cares.

He's already proposed her at this point, and she turned him down because at the time she thought he wasn't a good guy, and then she realised he's actually a really good guy, but she's avoiding him, and then she goes to his estate, and then he doesn't know he's there, so she's just visiting to look at the estate, realizes he's very rich, and while she's there, he comes out of the, like, and he's each other.

And his undies. So, the reason I bring this up is because we've just found out that in the new adaptation, because for fears of objectifying Mr. Darcy, there will not be including the scenes in which he comes out of the water. When they're wokeifying Jane Austen, there's an issue. Because you can't wokeify Jane Austen because it's a classic. But also, like, you need a little bit of something, something to get the girls going. Well, do you know, in the Pride and Prejudice,

the cinematic version, at the end they don't even kiss because they've stayed true to the story. But for an American audience, they needed to add a scene at the end where Darcy and Lizzie Bennett, or at that point, Elizabeth Darcy, are holding each other and kissing because they were like, well, American audiences

are going to be devoid if they don't hash. I feel like the world's got to a pin, the pendulum of the woke, like, pendulum side has swung way too far. I think there's a certain degree of stuff where we were getting a little bit, you know, racial or whatever. That stuff's bad. But then when you're starting to do this sort of thing, man, it just, it sucks. But with anything, the pendulum has to go too far one day

so that it can then correct. So I think in many ways it can feel a bit full on, but I think it will correct. And it was all necessary in order for us to have representations on screen that were fairer. So we just have to stick with it. But I cannot wait for the new Pride and Prejudice. I will probably need a day off.

Just like when nobody wants this hit, you know, the Adam Brody Netflix. I took the day off and sat on Netflix refreshing. Same thing for this. I'm going to need all girls around. Maybe me and Hannah will get together. Yeah, we need to all do a viewing party. I'll cry the whole time.

Yeah, except they weren't going to no shirt off stuff. So it's a bit boring. Unless you want to. Yes. Yeah, no one wants to see that cow. No one wants to see that cow. You got time, babe. That's good.

Okay, I'll do some ab work. Yeah. And then on the day, I'll pull it off. Come on. Clint Meg and Dan. Stinky boo. Yeah, well, it's supposed to be naughty 640, but now it's a naughty 6.50. What's a 50?

Tiddy, next... We're running late. Tiddy, 650, that works. So, I don't know when it was. A couple weeks ago, Dan, you were telling a story that involved, we were discussing second times with our partners, and you were saying how you will often... You have a cup of tea before or after?

Well, this is funny, actually. I have a cup of tea after we do the deed. And I got an email from Twining's the day after offering me a pack of tea. Yeah, but I don't think they kind of understood. Anyway, So you want to do a mass tea event. Yeah.

So because it was fresh in my mind, this idea of you and Hannah having Mommy Daddy time and a cup of tea, when it next came time for some Mummy Daddy time in our household. You didn't. I didn't mean to think of you. Oh, stop. But you popped into my mind. This is a first.

I know. And I was so aware, like, oh, don't think of Dan. Do not think of Dan while you're, and Hannah, to be honest. And I was so in my head. head when it was happening because obviously my husband knows you you know my husband we all worked together you didn't say my name i didn't know but then i started imagining imagine if i said dan's name oh god as i as it's i'm deep in the vortex of thoughts like does this much thought usually happen for me yes a lot of it until it gets to the point where you're not thinking about

anything else but in the initial throws of passion it got so deep and i almost had to like hop off and be like I just need five minutes to just hop off the bed I mean just hop off the bed sorry I'm just going to hop off baby so I was totally thinking about you but just because of the tea thing because we just spoke it and I was thinking I'll take it yeah to take it

he's blushing you know what I tell you this is the first time I've gone to read but it's a compliment this is the first time anyone's ever thought of me in the throws of passion apart from my wife I think genuinely yeah well I don't I can't be 100% sure So the question is, is it cheating? I don't think it's cheating because I think it happens to absolutely everybody, right? I don't know if I've ever in the throes of passion thought about someone else.

When I'm, you know, maybe in other times I think fantasy stuff. Yeah, yeah. But I don't think I would ever imagine doing it with someone else if I'm doing it with the set person. I wasn't imagining doing it with you, but I was thinking about you. Yes. So maybe I was there. I don't know, but it was, I was so in my head and then I kept imagining maybe that,

okay, maybe this is what we need to ask the people. Have you ever said someone else's name? That would happen, I think, more than you would think. It's never happened to me, but it is my biggest fear because I'm often, my brain is so often thinking, and you know, at the start, you know, you're processing, you're thinking about your life, at things, other things.

And I always think how awkward it would be if I accidentally said somebody else's name, but it's never happened. Yeah. But I would love to hear text us 3343. It happens in the movies. I don't know if it happens much in real life. I'd love to hear if it has happened.

But I don't think anyone wants to admit that it's happened. Like, I think if it happens, you don't talk about it or you, you know, or you break up. I wonder if Clint was here if he's ever done it with Megan Fox. Because obviously he's obsessed with Megan Fox. Yeah, yeah. I wonder where they're in the throws once in a while. He just closes his eyes and imagines for a second. Yeah, but maybe it comes out like when you're not even, it's not.

like you're replacing the person's head and for some people that may be the point maybe you are. So we would love to know 3343 on the text line. Have you ever accidentally said someone else's name? Give us a call or 8100 the edge. They like Ash feel bitter about herself. Yeah, I didn't say Dan, but I did think that. She almost

had to get off. In our 4640 I just told a story about having some mummy daddy time with my husband and a story just popped up into my mind that Dan had recently shared about loving a cup of tea. I Why were you thinking about me?

Because you had just told the story about how often you'll have a cup of tea afterwards. But that was in the morning when we were doing. It was in my mind. And often I can't control what pops into my head. So inevitably it meant that while I was having mommy daddy time, I was thinking about Dan for probably about a minute. Now, Cal, we're... A minute's a long time.

I know, because then I was like, stop thinking about Dan. Stop thinking about Dan. But it just spurred you on even more. Exactly. It was during our radio show, which would have been hours and hours before the act of making love. I will say that. Yeah, it's true. But you're not the only one after.

Oh, there's many people that have been in the same boat. Yeah, and some people even saying the name of the person they're thinking of. Natalie ticks through saying, I had a one-night stand with a guy who said another girl's name, safe to say I'd never seen him again. That's a bad first impression. Yeah, but if it's a one-night stand, it's a bit different. It's all the years of love and commitment.

What about this one? Things are happening, and I said the name of my friend. I don't know why. My boyfriend immediately stopped and called me out on it demanding. I said it's a slip of the tongue. He didn't believe me. Her girlfriend? So a guy and a girl and then, oh, I don't know if it was a boy or a girl that she mentioned,

but it just the name came into her mind that she said it. Interesting. I feel like you just, you just bring that up after the job's done, you know? Yeah, but once it's said out loud, I think I'd have to stop down and be like, let's talk about this. I said if you're imagining someone else when you're making love to your partner, there's something wrong. But people are disagreeing. Someone said it's 100% okay to imagine someone else, especially if you're in a long-term relationship, you need to spice things up somehow.

Really? Oh, really? No, I disagree with that. I don't think I've even got the imagination to even imagine someone else. I'd have to have the light. It'd have to be completely pitch black dark. Yeah. So I can't see, Hannah, and then imagine someone out.

Do you know what I think it is? I think men and women are different. I think when a guy is in the zone, he's just thinking about what's happening. But for a woman, it does take longer to get out of the thoughts of the day. So I think there is a period when we're not really fully engaged yet. we're still processing everything to happen. Another text said, I said my ex's name twice with my new partner.

Twice is a bad thing. Once is so bad. Once is forgivable, twice. Yeah. I don't know. If it's a very new relationship, forgivable, but once you say it again.

We'll just know this, Ash. You've put a real spring in my step this morning knowing that you're imagining me during the act. Yeah, you go with it, babe. You take that into the rest of your day. Yeah, I've got one up over your husband now as well, who is also my boss. Even, Stevens, come on.

No, no, don't pelvic thrust towards me in the studio. Sorry, I meant to sort of aim it between you and Cal. Clint, Megan, Dan. Go past a call, get on the blower, 0-800-the-edge. If you want to win yourself, some cash money, because I've been put in charge this week. We had the $10,000 go in easy money last week. Yeah, and a beautiful moment.

If you missed that between Michelle and D, get on our Instagram at Edge Breakfast. Yeah, and I was put in charge, and rightfully so, I think probably the smartest person on the show, the number one. They were like, you know what, let's let Dan decide what we're doing. That was the CEO Wendy's call. She decided. You had a meeting, very high-powered meeting. Did you wear a suit?

I wore a suit. Nice. In fact, I overdressed, I think. She was looking a bit scruffier than I was. She was in a bikini. She was a classic. Yeah, I thought it was not a choice to wear. But we had a discussion, and we've come up with perhaps one of the best promotions we've ever done on the show.

And you're going to have a one in ten chance of winning a huge amount of money. This is going to explain it. Before you said one in five and now you're saying one in ten. I've been informed. I've been informed. I've been informed it's one in ten. Okay, one in ten. A few weeks ago, a man by the name of... Dan Weby

purchased his son a marble racing track. It was 3999 of the warehouse. Great deal. After a couple of uses, his son lost interest. But now, after gathering dust in a cupboard, the marble track.

has a new use. You've heard of radio show competitions like The Secret Sound or Battle of the Sexist. Well, this radio competition, eats promotions like that for breakfast. This week only, 10 people, 10 marbles,

and a grand prize of... 15 million! Dome! Yes, that's right. This week, two people each time. We'll go in the drawer and on Friday we'll battle it out in an epic marble race

with one person walking away with 15 million Vietnamese dong which works out to be Well it doesn't really matter It's a New Zealand dollar So grab your balls And get ready to join

The High Rollers Club 15 million dong Wow Up for grabs Friday Right now we're going to go a caller. We're going to go to a caller after 8 o'clock as well. You're each going to get a marble, which is going to be placed

in a huge marble race on Friday. Yes. The winner of that marble race is taking away the 15 million Vietnamese don't. Which translates to how many New Zealand dollars. Doesn't matter. Irrelevant at this point. Doesn't matter. So you're going to get someone on 1 in 10 right now,

straight on there. Louise, you're the lucky first person that is getting your hands on a marble. Good morning. Oh my God. Call out. How excited. So, you've got it. You've got your hands on it now. You are done. So you need to wait until Friday.

We're going to play this marble race. I think around 8 o'clock. How does she know which ball's hers? Does she get a number or? I'm going to number you number one. Okay, make sense. Okay, ball number one. We'll put that number next to you.

You have a one in ten chance of winning 15 million dong. Louise, do you know how much 15 million dong is? Have you done that research yet or that's going to come later? Is it about $1,000? It's around that, yes. Okay. Let's just keep saying... $1,000?

It's just saying $15 million. Okay, we're sticking with the don't. Will it be paid in dong or will it be paid in our local currency? It'll be paid in dong. In dong cash money. So you're going to go to Vietnam and get the dong and bring it back? I think I can probably get it out from the bank. Can you get me a passport too then?

I will. Yep, you can get three passports with that. amount of money. Clint, Meg and Dan. Morning guys, Mike Hosking here. Don't look at him, Kat. I told me. He's just so pretty. The best broadcaster in the country. I do the news talk ZB Breakfast Show, but I come up here every Monday to do a bit of a wrap of

the weekend of news. It's very generous. So if you were really happy to have you here. Yeah, I don't know who you are. Let's just hit the jams, Kel. Yes, we kickstart this week with the All Blacks and their shock loss against Argentina on Sunday morning. The captain of the Argentinian rugby team, Julian Montoya is with us now.

You must be very pleased with the result over the weekend, Julian. For end, so about the physics, and about the force and the resistance and the velocity and in general. Of course. Nothing, the part mental and, and the part technical will come now in the next step. But, but, yeah, it's the repetition of actions, in defense, in attack, a tackle dominant,

be a ser clinical, portar the pelota, advance. Yes, thank you so much for your time. What a lovely guy. In other news, new questions have been raised about the health of President Donald Trump. New bruises have been spotted on his hands being linked to cardiovascular issues. Donald Trump joins me on the line right now.

What's your condition, Donald? I don't know what it is. It's sort of Trump derangement syndrome, I guess they call it. Well, that's your words. What do you do to say healthy out of interest? I try and eat properly. I always see you eating hamburgers, though. But proper hamburgers.

I think, you know, you need to eat a balanced diet. What are you actually doing? I like perhaps all of the wrong food, but then I say, does anybody know what they're right? Well, I think vegetables are probably a good place to start there, Donald. And finally, in other news, the government has announced a multi-million dollar deal to buy brand-new Air Force aircraft and helicopters. Defense Minister Judith Collins joins me on the line right now.

Morning, Judith. My husband is Mollon, so Talofa. Right. I do not know what that has anything to do with the aircraft. Anyway, we'll move on. Toulofa to you do. It seems like we're spending lots of money on aircraft. Do we need to be spending that much money?

That's my question. I think that's just a stupid question. Well, it's not a stupid question, though, is it? We're New Zealand, not the USA. You will know that New Zealand is a space country, and our Navy and Air Force have to cover an enormous amount of area. Right. So we're using satellite technology is a great thing, and I'm all for it.

Okay, we're not talking about satellites, though, are we, Judith? We're talking about aircraft. Anyway, we've got no time for this. Thank you so much for your time. I'm Mike Hoskin. That's Mike submitted this week. News Talk Zed. Happy days.

Happy days indeed. Thanks for having me. Thanks for coming. Did you want to stick around and do scandal with me? Absolutely not. Zoe is going to be a new celebrity romance. Nope, okay.

Off you go ahead. Who's the celebrity? Zoe Kravitz? Never heard of it. Lenny Kravitz's daughter. You know Lenny Kravitz? Never heard of them. Like what about Austin Butler?

I played Elvis. Austin Powers. Now we're talking. I know, a bit different. Scandles up next to you guys. Those movies are good, aren't they? with Ash London scandal. I'm going to start with a pretty sad story first.

Emily and Paris is currently filming season 5 in Italy. For those who follow the show, the last season ended with her in Italy, which we're all like, but it's Emily and Paris. I was going to say, are they pretending Paris as Italy or vice versa? No, no, no, part of the story is that she's relocated. Are they pumping out a season a year? I feel like that only debuted a couple years ago. And it's what we deserve.

Oh, yeah. That's being honest. You can't, I mean, there's not enough plot for them to warrant us waiting more than... It's much better than stranger things waiting three, four years from another. She's doing that. So, yeah, she's maybe fallen for this guy called Marcello. So she's in Italy. And something really, really sad happened.

So the assistant director, his name was Diego Borella, died after collapsing on set. So he collapsed at 6.42 p.m. And by the time the paramedics had arrived, it only took 40 minutes for him to be pronounced dead, which is absolutely horrible. He was only 47 years old, like a young, cool-looking dude. so they suspended filming for two days and then of course you know hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of jobs rely on them

getting this show done like the show must go on but I imagine that would have felt so strange and only two days as well I know but what are you going to do like that's the equivalent of like neeps our assistant like producer coming in and just falling dead I'd need at least the morning off I think

oh we'd finish the show yeah we'd finish the show and then we'd probably go out and have a meal together remember his life could someone get the podcast up if I died during the show because I wouldn't be able to post it. We need someone to do that. Or he could wait till after the only band is up.

We'd need someone to come and take over when I dropped it. You would need to wait till it's done and then we would allow it. Perfect, got it. So yeah, look, I'm very, very sad. Big love to his family, Diego, Borella. And next up, there's a new, I love it. I want to consider myself a very serious, you know, I have a journalism degree.

You should have really. But I do love a celebrity romance. But I think so often now it's like two people are starring in a film. together and then magically ran with Davey. Yeah, so there's a new film called Court Stealing and Austin Butler who played Elvis is in it and he plays a guy who like

lost, he wants to be a baseball player and he's lost the channel. Why he said, well I've just, I've just seen the trailer. It looks very good. Okay, so there you go. Great cast. Great cast. Zoe Kravitz is in it. Of course, Lenny Kravitz is so gorgeous. Does she date Channing Tatum? She did, didn't she? Yes, and they only

recently, they were engaged, I think. They were. They were. I don't think they were just engaged. Right. Well, now they've been caught in a parrot, Parisian bar Canoodling. And again, look, there's no passion happening so they're very much, like often when you're at a crowded bar,

like if I was talking to either of you with a wine and the photo was from the right angle, people would be like, Ash and Callan canoodling in a Parisian bar, but really they're just having a wine together. But I think this is what films are doing now. Yeah, it's like, they've got no money for PR or marketing. So they're just like, oh, can you guys just fake a relationship for 10 minutes?

I really liked Austin Butler until he did that Elvis movie and then continued to be Elvis for like three years after it. In all interviews, he sounds like Elvis. He does. It was like he was so deep in the character that he like was became him. It was weird. Method acting gone a bit far.

If you watch like, I think on YouTube, there's a montage of him before Elvis and how he talked in after Elvis. Really? It's crazy. He talked completely differently. I'm going to watch that. Yeah.

I love how celebrities are so weird. Especially actors, they are just very weird humans. And I think it is because of exactly what you said. Like music artists, right? They often write music. that's about their feelings and what's happening and they perform and they're very in touch with the reality of their own emotions.

Actors and actresses, however, they're just playing a part. I don't think they have, a lot of them don't have a lot of real life depth because they're used to playing other people. Yeah, it goes actors and then radio announces the strangest people on the plane. So I'll pay that. Hey, I've got an addiction, guys. I'm going to talk about it next. It's getting quite serious.

It's not like a bad addiction. I don't think, anyways. That's what an addict would say. Is there such thing as a good addiction? I don't know, but I don't think I'm hurting anybody and potentially not even hurting myself But I'll tell you about it next I'm addicted and I just can't get now

I just can't get it out Man it's very true Thank you voice over people and singers I, Ash London Have an addiction And I don't think I was ready to admit That it was in an addiction until recently Admission is the first step my darling

That's right And this is a safe place And if you yourself have got a non-dangerous addiction we'd love to hear from you on 3343 on the text line, 0,800, the edge. I, Ashlandon, am addicted to nasal spray. Ooh. Oh, when you said it was like a non-harming addiction, I would argue that's not a good thing.

But not the medicated one, not like pseudafed that's got like a decongestant in it. I don't need that. I just am addicted to the feeling. I got a saline with a bit of eucalyptus in there. So I take a hit, two in each nostril. So even when you're not sick I don't need to be sick But now I feel like my nose is always dry

Because it doesn't know how to self lubricate So it's like like any good addiction Your body gets so used to it That it can't function without it And I just I realize because I'll look in my bag And I've always got one in there And then it gets

It doesn't work anymore And I'm like So I need to get another one What is it about it? Is it do you get like a bit of like a rush When you do it like It's not nice It's the cool moist feeling

in my nostrils and then it's like and it's just, I can't describe it. It's just but I'm not hurting anybody and as far as I know like the saline herbal thing, you know it's not bad for me but I am addicted and I feel like if I don't do it before bed

and in the morning and sometimes just during the day give it to me. I probably give it to me. Oh you're going to put that up your nose once it's not up hers? No I'm going to take it off her. She does not, you should not be doing it every day. We can lubricate your nose in other ways But I feel like in the bottle of it, because I tried it last night and it was almost finished.

See how this is almost done? To give it here. I don't care of it. I don't want to hand that over because that's probably got about three or four more sprays in and at least hold of it. Hold on me just, let me just do one more because it's at the very... No, not a hit on here. Oh my God.

Oh, jeez. You can happen now. There you go. Oh, my God. Okay, you need to stop. I mean, I would say that it is probably not as bad as alcoholism or, you know, do it like that kind of thing. Totally.

But anything that you rely on, I think, our bodies are supposed to just work. I'm kind of like that with chapstick. Like I don't have my chapstick today and I've just been like licking my lips because I put chapsic on all day every day and now give it out it. You don't know how to lubricate. No, I don't have it. I forgot it today and that's why I'm kind of freaking out. Have you got any non-dangerous addictions?

I mean, having ADHD, you sort of, you get addicted to a lot of things. Spending money is one of my things like you, Cal. If I don't, if I'm not like taking my riddle and I can easily just get into a spending spree. The other thing is cereal for me. Really? Sugary cereals, I just, like, they're my kryptonite. Cocoa pops. Name them.

Cocoa pops. Can we get some cocoa pops this morning? I love. I love some cocoa pops. Just a sugar hit in the morning. I could eat cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's my favourite thing of all time. But I added under the edge, text 32334.

What is your, I guess you could call it like non-dangerous addictions? Yes. What are you addicted to that you're just like, I wish I could not be into this? If you have a serious addiction, get help. Don't call the radio station. This is just a bit of fun. I'm addicted to non-medicated nasal spray. It sounds quite bad when you say it.

It doesn't. And someone texted through to say that they too had an addiction to nasal spray and then they have a hole in their symptoms. So shout out to you, Melissa. I hope that holds. Oh my God. That's like when you do like hard drugs, that happens. I know, but surely that's if it's a drug one, like the medicated.

Mine's just a bit of salt water. It's just, you know. But this is a safe space. So call us. So at under the edge, text 32343, what is your non-dangerous addiction? Vanessa is called through. Now, Vanessa, you've got the exact same addiction to what Cal has. What is it?

Lego. Lego. Wow. I've been obsessed with the Harry Potter Lego. Have you got the Hogwarts? I've done diagonal. Well, my sister did diagonally for me because I have, like, I think I have ADHD, but I don't know. But all the little pieces, I looked at it, and I just went,

Yeah, no. So I went and bought it anyway, and then I bought, like, I bought the railway station one, and I bought majority of all the small ones. I just need the big castle and the purple bus. So are you making them, or is the thought of making them too overwhelming and they just sit in the boxes? I've made them, but I've got to do two more, and then I still need to buy some more.

So a couple weeks ago, not last week by the other week, I spent $9.28 at the time of us. In one go? Out of control. That is $900 on Lego. She's not hurting anybody, is she? Well, except her bank account. Yeah, but that's fine. It's her prerogative.

She's an adult. Cal, how much have you spent on Lego? Oh, God. I don't know. We should talk about it. Just quickly. Like over $3,000, do you think? Yeah.

Wow. My goodness, sorry. Man. No judgment. We listen, we don't judge, babe. Jonathan, you're also sticking some things up your nose like Ash. What are you addicted to? Morning, guys.

I love usually whenever I, whenever I, whenever I'm like sick, I always get those like Vicksticks, like how to close up he knows is. The eucalyptus like, cooling menthol. It's such a cooling feeling. It's so nice. Yeah, I think that's... Whenever I have it, I'm just shove it up.

Yeah, okay. That is very similar to the nasal spray for me. It's the cooling effect. Gosh, we are getting so many texts come through. Yeah. Now, Chanel, Shantel. You've got a very similar one to Clint, who is usually on the show away today.

Yeah, Chantel, what's your addiction? I am addicted. too tanning. I love spray tanning or the moose or whatever it is. I love to be brown. Love, love. How often are you redoing your tan? Oh, it's got to be once a week. Oh, wow. I think that's similar to Clint.

Once a week. Got to be brown. And extra coats on your tummy. It makes you lose 5KGs. Feel amazing. That's what Clint says. He said to me the other day, which was a little bit confronting. He was like, you need to spray tan. It takes 5Ks off you. I'm like, oh, okay. What are you saying? And Shantel, you're not hurting anybody. And you're not hurting anybody, and you're feeling better in your body.

I think it's a great non-dangerous addiction to have. Absolutely. Live your best life. Good on you, darling. Hey, Shane's texted through. Hey, guys, I've spent 8K on Lego since Xmas. You need help, Shane. I mean, if you've got the money, fine, but $8,000 seems like a lot on Lego.

It's actually not. I would say that's maybe like 10, 11 sets. Like one set is like... Are they making money over time, though? Some of them? Yeah, yeah, yeah, because they retire sets. So once it sets retire, they don't make them anymore. So if you keep the boxes, you can say,

them for a decent price later. You know what, Shane, you need to be listening after 8 o'clock, so do you, Cal, because I have a competition that could win you 15 million in cash. That'll buy you a lot of Lego. Wow. Will it, oh. Will up though. It will. It will.

It will. Clint, Megan Dan. We're doing a huge thing this Friday. 15 million in dong up for grabs. Vietnamese Dong, which I guess, yes, it works out to be around $1,000 New Zealand. Still a big dong. Yeah. It's a big-ass dong. So you've got a one in ten chance if you get on air with us,

and that's exactly what you've done, Tony. Good morning. Good morning. I've had some high-powered meetings last week, Tony. And we've got 15 million dong up for grabs. You've got one marble in the huge race, which we're going to have on Friday. There's 10 marbles in the race.

You've got one of them. One in 10 chance of winning that cash. Oh my God. Thank you so much. Okay. What would you do with $1,000? I mean, sorry, $15. What would you do with 15 million dong, Tony?

So I'm actually saving to go over to Turkey at the end of the year for rhinoplasties. Oh, yes. Okay, so they don't accept dong over there in Turkey. So you need to exchange your dong for Turkish dollars. But apart from that, happy days. No, thank you so much. Wait, can I just ask one quick? Is your nose actually bad or is it just a little tweak?

It's just a little tweak for confidence building. Good a girl, your body, your rules. Yes. I have another question, so I know I said only had one, but I have more. If you don't mind me asking, how much do they charge in Turkey for a rhinoplasty? So it varies, but the surgeon that I'm going for is about four and a half thousand euros. So it's about 10 grand. And how much would it cost here in New Zealand?

About 28,000. Oh, wow. Okay, so you've got one of the 10 marbles in the race, which is going to be happening Friday. huge race, and the winning marble will win the 15 million dong. Simple as that. It'll be the left nostril paid for of her rhinoprasia. Good on your tones. Let's get tones a good new nose.

Yeah. Thank you very much. Sweetheart, good on you, darling. Have a wonderful day. Thanks for listening. Clint, Megan, Dan. Ask me anything. This is officially the first time we're doing this.

We spoke to Michelle last week who had terminal cancer, and she had an amazing story in such a positive outlook on life. So today, we want to actually do this over the next few weeks. Talk to people from different backgrounds, maybe interesting jobs, interesting lives. The kind of things you hear about and you're like, man, I've got questions. And if you've got someone you've always dreamed of speaking to or the kind of person who's raised a lot of questions, we'd love to hear from you and we'll try and track someone down to do and ask me anything with them. I'm thinking like secret agents.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You know, like that. Someone that works in the new FBI thing in Wellington. I'd love to. Oh, we can put them on the Voice Dakota. Yeah. And you can get involved.

You can submit questions. We're really excited about doing this because I think the more we understand about each other and learn to ask tough questions, the better off we are as a society. So we did this, we recorded this chat with Clint, who is now off sick, if you're wondering why he's popped up all of a sudden,

with the amazing Haley, who is a surrogate for strangers, people she doesn't even know. Haley, how you going back? Good, thank you. How are you? Good. Thanks so much for coming. on. Correct us if we're wrong. You volunteered to be a surrogate for a stranger? Yeah, so I met them on a website called Love Makes a Family. A friend of mine had mentioned it and I asked her

about it. I'd been thinking about it for years but I get high premises so super super stick. Yeah, I went and had a look and started looking through because it's all profiles that you make a profile and they've got profiles of what you all are looking for. And then, yeah, started messaging them and then we kind of just emailed back and forth for a few months and then it was like a, you build this relationship and that was that. We made the choice to start and we did. Now, a lot of people with hyperamysis, which is hardcore more neck sickness, they

struggle to make the decision to get pregnant again even if it's their own baby and it's something they really want because it can be so debilitating. What was it within you that was willing to do this for someone else knowing how sick it was going to make you? I'm lucky enough to have my own kids. I've got four.

Whoa! Good effort, babe. Good from you. Wow. And it was just one of those things I was fortunate enough to be able to say I want a baby so let's have one and there's all these families that just can't so it was it was like nine months of crap would give a lifetime of something for somebody else oh my god what an amazing person you must be unless you got paid yeah because you don't get paid do you there's no no no no okay so yeah do you know where you do get paid for being the surrogate because new zealand doesn't obviously allow anyone to have any sort of money exchange but

In the states, they do, don't they? Yeah, I think the states do. New Zealand, they, so the parents can pay for the likes of maternity clothes or, like, elevate, any kind of, anything relating to the pregnancy, the parents can pay for. But otherwise, no, it's just, you just do it to help. And technically, how is it done? So I had an embryo, so the baby wasn't anything to do with me at all. So the parents, the mum and the dad, they had all the embryos made,

and then I just flew up to Auckland to the main clinic. you literally just walk and lie down and they like put this little hose in you and then pop it goes in and you just hope that it sticks and then two weeks later you find out if you're pregnant or not. And tell me about the conversation you had with the parents about like when you said yes like I'm going to do this, we're going to do this. Like what did that look like? Was it over the phone or Zoom or in real long in person?

So they live South Island and I'm North Island. So most of our stuff was done over email or phone calls on the odd occasion and, yeah, Yeah, I just clicked them an email and I said, hey, you know, this is what I'm thinking and the offer is there if it's what you guys want. And it was. So, yeah. Would you do it again? Because I'd imagine, like you've described it, and it sounds like a very rewarding thing. Obviously, very big sacrifice that you've made.

But would you do it again? Yeah, the only thing that scares me is the hypermesis. If the hypermesis wasn't there, then yes, there would be no second thoughts or anything. Like, my youngest was only three at the time. Oh, my gosh. And she just wanted a baby. So it was explained to her, like, this is, you know, if they have, the baby has other parents,

we're just going to grow it and we'll look after it. And then when it's out of mummy's tummy, she goes, and all she wanted to do was, can I give it to its mommy and daddy? That was all she wanted. So it was, yeah, it was easy. What about your partner? Because I imagine it's something that, like,

I have been pregnant and it definitely affected our life and our relationship. So what was that discussion like with the two of you? So I was by myself It was just me and my four kids So my oldest She's 14 now She was 12

I had the talk with her What do you think if I do this Because if I do do this We're going to need to work really hard Together to try and make sure That other kids are going to be okay And she was Initially she was a little bit like

And then she turned around She goes well as long We're not keeping it She was fine Yeah She's got such an amazing story Yeah And we have so many more questions

And so much more to uncover. Ask me anything. Yes, first time we're doing this. People from different walks of life, amazing jobs, amazing backgrounds and ask me anything. Everything you've wanted to know, today a surrogate. Yeah, no taboo.

So we're talking with Haley, we're halfway through our chat. Haley is a surrogate who's chosen to carry a baby for people she doesn't know. And we've already getting so many tech through from you guys. And one that keeps popping up is something that we wanted to ask her, which was when do you like hand over the

baby, like once it's born, kind of what's the process that? Because technically you're not the mother, I guess. So you're like, how long do you hold on to the baby? Yeah. She was very generous in her answer. So you can make the choice. I think you've got up to about five days. We made the choice that baby wouldn't even

cut. It would say on me why we did the cord cutting thing, but otherwise the baby was going to leave me straight away. And then you just literally sign a document saying that you release because the baby's legally mine. So that's a scary thing. When you're pregnant, even though biologically it's not my child

legally it is and so you've got to have this huge trust with them because they can change their mind so wait Hayley soon she's made a great point either party really could back out so the birthing I don't want to say birthing mother but the

birthing person could very easily say actually I want to keep the baby and the biological parents could say we don't want the baby anymore like that's so much trust and legally they wouldn't have a leg to stand on If you go, I've decided I'm going to keep it. It's yours.

No, there's no legs to stand on at all. Oh, my God. Like if I said at six months pregnant, I've changed my mind, I'm going to keep it. They can't do anything. They just have to deal with the fact that they've lost their child. Oh, that's incredible. That's not talked about very often, is it? Yeah, is that paperwork can only be done after the baby's been born, right?

Yeah, so it's just the stock standard adoption. When the baby's born and then you register the baby and get a birth certificate, my name goes down as the mother. So theoretically, I can't put them down. I could get someone like you to be a surrogate for my child and then halfway through the pregnancy, there could be complications for whatever reason. Maybe the baby has got issues physically or whatever.

And I could technically go, I don't want that child anymore. And then you were left with that child. Haley, what about the psychological impact and even hormonal impact? When you've just had a baby, you give it away minutes after you give birth. Do you get counselling off the child? back of it? Is it something that... And is that

counselling at the start? Like, did you get a psychologist? Yeah, so you've got to go through approval. So the approval process is like 18 months. It's huge. So you have like medicals and blood tests and stuff. You have lawyers and you have counsellors. So you've got to jump through all these massive hopes before you get to do it.

Like the whole pregnancy and stuff, all of that counselling it's open to you to use whenever you need to. So that makes it a bit easier but you've got everything fully explained to you. I think the only time, like there was never any issues for me because I went into it knowing that the baby wasn't mine

so like if you're in the right mindset it's not your baby you're essentially just babysitting this child for nine months and then when it's mum and dad are ready you just hand it back how was the pregnancy tell us about the actual experience for you and how it all kind of happened so my one we ended up

losing the baby so we didn't get to finish it wow how far along were you guys only quite early so we weren't super super long enough to be sick and enough to be showing so we weren't but we weren't locked but then it was my fifth pregnancy so I was going to show pretty much straight away anyway do you get to have any continued contact with the child like say on like the birthdays and things like that and you can reach out is that I guess a discussion that you have with the people that you're being a surrogate for is that just a decision you guys would make together it's all just personal so a lot of people

that I know that have done it one friend she's had two kids they are biologically hers but they've gone to the dad and so she had the conversation at the start and they just talk like normal friends and catch up and she's just the auntie and she loves it. She's got her own family as well if you have those really hard conversations

with the parents that start of your expectations and what you're thinking and if everyone's really really open it's quite easy because you know all of these things so when we went through counselling the council is like oh well what happens if this crops up and it's like well that's something we've already touched on

But it's even when you're pregnant, if the parents don't want, say, a test to check for, you know, any abnormalities or anything, they don't actually get a say. So the surrogate gets that. But then as the surrogate, you're not the parent. You know, you want the parent to make those choices. And so you've got to have those conversations. And then when the baby's born, because technically, legally, I would be the parent. But if I've already signed the baby over to the parent, they still don't get a say. So, you know, North and South Island, if something happened and the baby needed emergency surgery, they have to come to me.

It would be cool if people looked at it as, you know, it's only nine months of an entire lifetime. And if you can bring something to someone completely selflessly with no, you know, nothing coming back to you, just purely for somebody out, I think it would be a little bit easier. And if people were more open to talk about it, because it is such a, like a scary thing. and then people that don't know about it. They're quite nervous to ask the questions, whereas for us on the other side who are in it or gone through it or doing it, we're not scared to talk about it.

We're more than happy to talk and be open and say this is what the process is, and it's hard, but it's amazing. Wow. What a legacy. Thank you. Yeah, we love you, darling. Hey, we're going to do more of these AMAs coming up.

So our ears and our lines are all open. If you've got someone that you think we should track down and ask questions to, you can always get in touch. Yeah, you can always get in touch with Clint Randall at theedge.como.nz. He loves getting emails. Oh gosh.

Straight through to him. It's not his email. Clint, Megan Dan. I've also got Neep here in the studio. Yeah, and he's asked, get this, get the audacity of the man. He's asked for a bit where he can lead in prime time and eight.

Won't tell us what it's about. He trusts himself to the point that he's like, yeah, I may be an audio producer. My job may not be to bring content into the show and rock the mic. You know what, Neeps. You're lucky Clint's not here because last time this happened

he got the producer fired. I will not have that. Big smack on the bum and everything. No, so I, yeah, I'm the audio producer here on this show and I listen to just about everything that happens every morning. Yeah. So...

That is my job, though, is. That is my job. I get paid to do that. A lot of songs sound very, very similar to another one. Of course, Ed Sharon went through his lawsuit with thinking out loud and didn't get in trouble, but essentially just about...

He wasted a lot of time in the courtroom. He missed a funeral by having to be at one of the court days. That's right. He did, didn't he. So now he has a cameraman in the studio every second that he's writing music. Yeah, that's incredible, right? And I have become obsessed with songs that sound like another song. And because there's only a finite amount of chords that you can use in music.

So songs are going to sound like another. Now, an example I immediately thought of was when Olivia Rodrigo released her Good for You song, Yeah, so we all know this song. I thought that this sounded incredibly similar to Veronica's untouched. So beside each other they didn't sound too crazy. Cowell, if you can play the Bled Together version. Very similar chord progression. Olivia ended up having to pay royalties to Paramour.

Wow. Yeah, it was misery business that it was similar to as well. She'd stop copying, yeah, bloody ridiculous. Now, I was in at 5 o'clock the other morning, and I was listening to Chapel Roan's new song, The Subway, which is an amazing song, her kind of first dip into country music, I believe it is. Calde you have that song there. And to me, this sounds so similar to a Disney song.

What are you hearing? I can't pick it. I mean, I do really like this song. I'm a huge fan of it. chaperone but I feel like she's an amazing song can you give me a hint uh what if I said Mufasa okay so it's lying king are you hearing it so Cal do you have the little reveal back there on your bar it sounds awfully similar to this song here I think we need to hear it together to hear the full part when Neves first showed me this I thought he was mad

until he showed me this next part and I was like, wow, you're on to something. Yeah, so have a lesson to those two songs, Bled together. Okay, let's do it. Maybe your ears are more developed. Maybe your ears are more developed. You're not getting it

You can do that with any song Yeah, I don't know, that's fair enough I love you deeply I don't think that was worth even 8.30 black I've got one I've got one to add to the mix Samba dropped his brand new album over the weekend He stopped this new song

I feel like when you hear this you'd be like Oh I know what that is Oh this is Down down down Oh what is this is like Tears for Fears? No what is it? More so. Yeah, more so, much more so.

I don't like King Wayne version. Were you fully sober when you heard that? It was 5am in the morning, so absolutely not. 10 points for Mnip's, we love you so much. All right, no more 8am breaks for me then. I love you. I loved it. I thought it was very cold.

Sweetheart, we love you, darling. Back to your computer. Clint, Megan, Dan. Mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws. The age-old relationship drama, isn't it? So often we hear, I don't like my mother-in-law. She's this, she's that. Well, the in-laws in-laws in-laws, I think there's this stigma around like, oh, the in-laws.

Is it the same with boys, with men and their mother-in-laws? Well, I'm lucky. I love my in-laws. Like, so I'd imagine there'd be people out there that don't, you know, for whatever reason. Because they were always going to side with their daughter or son, aren't they? Of course. And therein lies the problem, I think. So my mother-in-law arrived Thursday night with my father-in-law from Adela.

two flights to get to Auckland so it's been a whole day travelling and she's here and I've got to say guys and this is hard for me to admit and I hope she's not listening Oh you don't like her I'm just kidding I adore the woman so much but it's to the point

where this she is so good that I find myself I'm ashamed to admit it taking advantage Oh yeah but you know what I know knowing mum's I reckon they like being taken advantage of in terms of getting to do stuff. Well, my mum doesn't, personally my mother. But if I ask my

mom to do something she doesn't want to do, she'll be like, get stuffed, I'm going to, I'll listen to my podcast or read a book in my room. Whereas my mother-in-law, like, I swear to God, she would do anything for me. She's a yes woman. She's a yes woman. Whatever you need, whatever you need, you rest. Like, if I try to get

up to make a sandwich, she was like, what are you doing, darling? And I'll say, oh, I'm just going to make myself a sandwich. You sit down. You rest. And I'll make the sandwich. Which bread do you like? Do you like butter? Or just the peanut butter and she'll make me the sandwich. She'll cut it up the way I like and she'll bring it to me on the couch. She's like my personal slave. And it started when I gave her a grandchild because I think it was like, oh,

you've just had a baby. She's a dit to you forever now because of the kids. It was like, you've had a baby, you need to rest. But my child is now four and very self-sufficient and she's still treating me like this. And it is just such a joy to have her in my home. I retreat and I become a brat when she arrives because I'm just like well Janie's here. We need to test this Callie. You see what I'm thinking. I reckon we need to send you home and we're going to give you a few things to ask her and see like progressively harder and more out there and see how much she sees used to. Because I reckon... Whatever it is, she'll say

once I had dirty undies. Okay, I don't know what time is it 840. Okay. So every 28 days something happens in a woman's life. Okay. And I was day in her house and the 28 days was actually 27 days so it caught me by surprise and I thought oh shivers so I had my dirty underwear and clothes in a pile and then oh god six hours later jaddy pulls me side now darling oh please her hand washed your underwear hand wash oh god just throw them in the washing machine I've hand washed them and jaddy's folded and dried them and I've put them back in your suitcase now I would go jenny on that occasion too far, my darling.

I genuinely would. When you see those on the ground, just know that I'll clean them myself. Oh my God. That's outrageous. Yeah, she would do anything about what you came up with. I wonder how far you could go with it. Yeah.

Really far. Give me the hot team if she'll hand clean my underwear. After the show today, we're going to send you home with some little things to ask her. You know, I hate challenges because I get so awkward. I'm not like, I'm not like Who Dare's Dan. That's why there's no Who Dare's Ash. Okay.

We're going to give you a pair of soiled undies. No. Okay, so some challenges. Yeah. And I guarantee you whatever it is, Jada, you'll come. She'll do anything for me. I can't believe. The fact that she hand-washed it is just blows my mind.

I wanted to die. And the fact that she told you, she didn't have to tell you, she hand-washed them. She pulled me aside now, darling, I've saw your undies. I've hand-washed them back. Oh, my God. I wouldn't even hand-washed my own. I haven't hand-washed something ever. That's outrageous.

Okay, well, you set me to challenge, and I, I will report back, see how far. And she reverses to her in the third person. Janie's got it, babe. Janie will do that for me. I love her so deeply. Clint Megan Dan. Ash London moved from Australia to come and work with us,

and we love having you here, Ash. Pleasure to be here in this fine nation. You know, a lot of people tell me, oh, aren't you supposed to move to Australia? Having gone the other way, I can confirm, this is a beautiful, wonderful place to live. And one thing to be a true New Zealander, I feel, is to be a fan of the Warriors or the All Blacks,

or both. And where should you a challenge over the weekend? All the Black Ferns. All the Black Ferns. Who actually won over the weekend as opposed to the All Blacks. Standing result as well. Come on, girls. So, I mean, wherever should you a challenge for the Warriors over the weekend?

To watch the game and then do a wrap-up of it in like a minute or so. Okay. Do you think you've got the chops to do this? I've tried really hard. I've even tried to put some, like, cool, like, rugby. Do we call it rugby or football or league? League. In Australia, we call it league.

Okay. Put some league. language in there as well. So I must admit, it wasn't a great game. It was a walloping, but I've done my best to make it sound interesting. Okay, here we go. And I'm starting with a bit of backstory

for those who don't know. The Titans, unfortunately remain anchored at the bottom of the ladder, still looking to dodge the wooden spoon. The Waz, however, riding high. This win solidified at their spot in the top four crucial as they head into the way. Is it the finals or the playoffs?

You shouldn't be questioning it. The playoffs. Neepia said the playoffs. All right. Opening thrills, though, Titan Skipper. Big Tino didn't just wave hello. He punched through with a breathtaking hit on Warriors Skipper, James Fisher Harris, and backed it up with an early try to get the fans roaring. But then the Warriors strike back. That's when our man, Roger Tuivasa Sheck, decided enough was enough.

He sliced over for two tries, and boy, did he run. Two hundred and 47 metres in total with a whopping 89 after content. Unstoppable, this fringe of a man. This guy's been doing sprint drills, even when the game's not on. Okay, so Tanner Boyd and Chanel Harris Tevita ran things like a well-oiled machine set in the pace with slick passing. Set the pace! Clever kicks, keeping the Titans guessing.

The Titans discipline took a holiday in the first half. How's this? Terrible completion rates 68%. That's wifle. Versus the Warriors 90. Incredible. Gifting the visitors are comfy 18 to 16. six cushion going into the break and the

debilition just continued in the second half. Jesus, we're only at half time. I'm just going to go quick for the end. Final score, Warriors 32, Titans 18. The Warriors not only punched their ticket to the playoffs, they move into the top four. Now, comfortably

two points ahead of the sharks and that's Cronulla with only two rounds to go up the wards. Up the wards. Come on, up the wards. Up the wards. Ray Warren would be proud of that though. I'll be Norman replay. one in this studio will know if I did a good job or not. So I'm going to have to go to produce a NEPs to see if I did it justice there. Ash, absolutely incredible. Well done. Perfect.

Up the was. Very proud to be on the bandwagon. That is outstanding. Go to why. That's how I do it. Up the wards. Do you get Ash, do you do that? Or do you do that all yourself? I am a published author. As if I would stoop to get artificial intelligence. Okay. I'm just questioning it. That's all. I don't appreciate being questioned. No, and I'll never do it again. Thank you so much. That was amazing.

Holy shit! You made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough, check out our only fans, podcast that is. Thank you.
