This is a podcast from Rover. Kiyoda, good morning, 1 to 6. On your short week, Wednesday, even shorter if you're damn webby. Yeah, very, very short. The man sent us a message at, what was it, 2 this morning, which is always good. It's always the good ploy to send it as strange hour as possible. He said, hey guys, at 2, 25 a.m.,

this cold has gotten worse, so I'm going to have to call it and take the day off. Sorry about the late notice. Which is funny because he did it. came in and then gave it to us and now he's bugged off. Yeah, I haven't literally been taking I mean, what are those pills? Virilex.

Viral X. In forever and I've taken them for the last three days. Thank you for that Dan. Yeah, thank you for coming in, giving us both the sickness and then going, nah, it's too hard for me. And then the problem is,

you can't go and sick because he beat us to it. I know, now, what are we going to do? And if he goes, I'm not coming in. I go, well, I'm sick as well, I'm not coming in. I'm not going on my own. I just know what I've done. once before it was the worst show of my life. What happened?

When you and you and Dan both weren't here and you still came in? I did the show by myself. I hated it. What did you do for four hours? Clint, I've blacked it out. Honestly, I blacked it.

It was such a nightmare and I think producer Brock was still working here and we were trying to like just scramble together anything that I could use as replays but we didn't have anything because it was so late notice

and I just had to, oh it was, God, it was awful. It was God awful. I wonder if anybody remembers how bad it was. girl. Oh, hold on, that's not. Hi, hi. I don't think we've podcasted that one, Meg, but it's still a great show.

Yeah, yeah, it doesn't exist anywhere on the internet that you can listen back to it. Oh, damn. They do that one. I'm also really excited, as you can probably tell, for my singing audition, sounding like this. Oh, yes, true. Yeah. As if you needed any... I know!

Clint, Meg and Dan. Leshko! No, Dan, today's always sick, unfortunately. So, we'll have to soldier on. without him and Meg will have her audition this morning. Yeah, he's really missing out. Yeah, without him. Truly, that is him

deciding to miss out on Christmas morning for Dan Webby. Yeah. Like he has said he's so sick that he can't watch me embarrass myself whilst singing dress up his Tinkerbell. I can't believe he must be on his deathbed. Yeah, we're doing a Hockey Musical with Meg and We've Goa Bella competing for the role of

Tinkabelle. We'll recap Bella's one for you if you missed it, but yeah, Meg's fresh audition is at 8. morning. I'd love to know what the going rate is for, speaking of Tinkabelle and fairies. Yes. What's the going rate for the tooth fairy these days? My daughter's almost 11. She had a tooth fall out last night and um, geez, we need more money because she's doing a Visaline at the moment. Vizaline's expensive so I thought the tooth fairy might know that. Yeah, right. They might really come to the party with a good donation. Yeah.

Nah. Yeah. And my wife said it'll probably be $2 and my wife was right. Yeah, because that's but it's kind of always been, but inflation has happened. Although you're, the tooth fairy in your area, because I think it must be another, I don't know if it's one tooth fairy that just goes the whole world or if they have separate areas. Your one left the tooth as well,

which I thought was very bizarre. Yeah, I don't know, I think our little tooth fairy finds quite gross. Finds teeth growth, this is an odd thing. Well, I mean, I'm projecting. I'm speaking on behalf of her, but I'm like, and also maybe

the tooth fairy doesn't want to like wake up the kids and like fumbling around trying to find the tooth as well as trying to put the money down. I get that. I get that. I wouldn't mind it either if my tooth fairy left them because I'm one of those women that probably would like quite like

to keep my child's teeth in a little trinket box. Oh right but then the tooth fairy takes him away and you're like Oh, so I don't really get them so I wouldn't mind that. But yeah, two bucks. That's really interesting. That hasn't changed since I was a child which is 25 years. years ago.

So I said my wife, I was like, nah, it's more than two bucks. And, yeah, we've got a text, so we don't know your name. Flick us the text, let us know. Oh, it says Andrew at the end, sorry. $5 to $10. You're going rate in Andrew's house.

Must have good teeth. Yeah, or it is good teeth. Yeah, or it is good teeth. Maybe they're inspecting them and going, oh, those are really well. She left that one. Yeah. She must have liked one.

Too far as gross. No, you can keep that. Very much. Two bucks at best. Yeah, $2. So your wife had guessed $2. Yeah, and I thought, it was more, like Andrew was saying, I thought it was

more like a five, a minimum, a ten of the tooth fairy's feeling like generous. Wow, ten's a lot of money. Five before she sets off on her journey. Yeah, because they lose all their teeth, right, at some point. Yeah. And how many teeth do humans have? Why do you look at producer car like he knows? Yeah, definitely. Yeah.

Oh, 28, 36, a round about there. How many teeth? Wait, so ten bucks a tooth. Yeah. I mean, even that to lose every, like a whole mouth full of teeth for two or three hundred bucks that seems fair. Yeah, 20 baby teeth that will fall out. So 200 bucks if we're doing $10 a tooth. That seems doable for a tooth fairy. Bridges Carl?

Well, that's a sort of mount sutt, a couple of grand. You could buy yourself a starlet or something. Pretty good. Good going. Oh, $2. Yeah, I don't know. $40? 40 bucks for all your teeth. Yeah, that seems pretty cheap in 2026, I think.

In 26, I think it's quite cheap. Maybe that's why she's leaving them. Yeah, she's like, I can't afford to pay all. Somebody else said the tooth area at our place gives five to ten. So that's... Five to ten, that does look like the going rate. Maybe the front teeth are ten, and then the crappy ones are five. The ones at the back?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll get into more or less coming up this morning. And also first call of the day, if you want it to be you, we've got a fresh and fruity voucher, well, supermarket vouchers. and go spend, yeah, your money on some fresh and fruity. Our must-haves. Fresh and fruity, new Greek yogurt pouches are available now, so if you want a voucher, give us a call, 0-800-the-edge.

Clint, Meg and Dan. Tom Holland has opened up about giving up alcohol and what that means for him. Yeah, he is. And Morgana O'Reilly has spoken. No, wait, Mick. Wait, I think you have, do you want to hear him? I would like to hear him talk about it.

Why non-alcoholic? So I quit drinking because I'm, I had a problem and I just couldn't put it down. And it was affecting my professional life. It was affecting my personal life and my health. So I decided to pack it in. It's a good reason. He's a great guy I love Tom.

And Morgana O'Reilly, the actress, spoke about how she stopped getting Botox after thinking how frown lines and men are seen as positives versus women. I just find these lines are so kind of gorge on men. And if we're thinking about them subconsciously, they add to the idea of authority, intelligence and leadership. And if that's the case, why are we taking hours away? All thanks to the whitening co, real whitening real results.

Two degrees of separation, me and Morgana, sorry. She is a parent of a kid that goes the same school as my kid. Huh. Yeah. So when they had like a theatre show, I was sitting there and I was like, oh, no, there's Morgana or are they? From the white ladders. The fact that you get Botox and that kind of,

puts her theory in the bin because she says that men don't do it. Yeah, but I'm not on White Lotus, so I don't have to worry about my facial expressions. That's very true. That's very true. Yeah, and I'm scared of looking old. Yeah, it's so soon. Well, look at that. She says that frown lines are gorge on men and show intelligence, leadership, and something else. Is she in the minority or the majority? No, I would say, I agree with that wholeheartedly that men, when they have frown lines and smile lines,

and adds to their more attractiveness and makes them seem more intelligent. That's why you look so stupid. You got none. Nothing going on up there. All right, you want to be our first call of the day? We've got a $50 supermarket voucher to say, thanks, oh, 800 of the Edge.

The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. First call of the day, first call of the day. But he did come in, and he was a trooper for a week, coughed all over Meg and I, and now he's off. both of us sick and then we've had to stay and he's decided to have the day off so that's nice breath. Let's talk to Zandria this morning. Zandria?

Yeah, Zandria. That's cool. Good morning. Morning. There's not a typo from our producer car. What, sorry? It's not a typo from our producer car. It's actually Zandria.

Zandria. It is Zandria. You must have been the only Zandria in class growing up. No, Andrea, not Zandria. Oh, God. It's a typo. Carl. It's a brilliant.

It's a mystery. I was like, wow, is it like mystical, magical. That's a plausible name. No, I don't know. Andrea.

Morning. Andrew is actually a first time gorecliffe. First time caller. Where to say hello? That fresh and fruity yogurt voucher really got you. Out of the woodwork.

Got you excited. Yeah, we got a $50 supermarket voucher as part of our fresh and fruity must have, so we'll get that one out to you. Yeah, absolutely. Have you been listening for a little while? You're the only radio station I get in my car, to be honestly.

Christchurch. You're in Christchurch. Yes. Oh yeah, we're number one there. We're holding your ransom and your Japanese import cars. Yeah, Andrew drives an Audi, which is very nice to know that those of the speakers we're coming out of. Okay, so it's not Japan Boy. Is it just maybe if you've just got one of those radios that can only get our frequency?

No, it's an older Audi and I had a few issues at the minute. I've been one of them If we could survey you quickly While we have you, Andrea How long do you need to listen to us As an acquired taste Before you start to come round to us And you go, you know what, I actually would choose these guys

Even if I did have other options How long did that take? Probably only a couple of days Because you're pretty funny Couple of days No, that's how long I need to listen Before I'm, you know Oh, we're happy with that

We're happy with that Andrea is also single And just cruising along You're not looking No Nice. Not at the moment. No, I'm just happy with life. So if it just happens, it happens. Where do we think it's most likely to happen? Like, do we play sport on a Saturday where, you know, afterwards you go back to the club and have a drink and there's a possible, like, do you have little pockets where you think it could happen there? Not really, to be honest. Not at the moment. I'm looking a little bit ruraly, so it's kind of hard to get out and mingle at the moment. Do you get your groceries delivered? Or do you old school go into store?

No, I go into store. Okay, what could happen there? Who in the world? Who has actually ever met their partner at a grocery store? It's such an urban legend like you put your bananas up or down. Yeah, yeah. That doesn't actually happen. Yeah.

It doesn't actually happen in real life. I could try that. You could get rid of. Your address has got bunches of bananas facing up with. Some up, some down, just not to sure. Andrea, thank you so much for being our first time caller today. We're so happy to finally be hearing from you. Excellent.

You stay there. Three delicious flavours, summer fruits, forest berries and vanilla. You get them like so's a villa. Yeah, that is interesting, I suppose. Pick it up in the supermarket, it just feels like you're there to get a job done, aren't you? Yeah, and I'd almost, I mean, you just, every time you'd be like, oh God, just let me be. Let me be if somebody's trying to hitting you. What do you think?

I had one person one time hit on me at the fishmongers. That's what they're called, isn't it? He was serving the fish. There's no euphemism. Nah, he was serving the fish. Right. And then he looked down at my hand and he saw her I was married and he goes, oh, that's a shame.

Is that? That's hitting on me, isn't it? Yeah. That's hitting on me. There's no doubt. And he made a real pointed effort to go, oh, that's a shame. And the end of that he thinks I've got manky hands. I can't tell.

Clint, Megan, Dan. It's time to get naughty at 640. I think what your wife is going through at the moment is nearly every mum's had a fantasy like this. Really? Yeah, truly. Because I was feeling very sorry for my wife. initially because she had surgery yesterday. And I don't even really know exactly what the surgery is called,

because it's got like four or five big names right after each other. But they're pretty much like drilling out your sinuses or whatever because it's so overcrowded. And so you end up when you get a cold, you get really congested and stuff. And she's waking up in the middle of the night all the time because effectively you're not getting enough oxygen to your brain and it wakes you up because everything's all congested in there. So they go in and I don't know, drill it all.

scrape it out, zap it out, something like that. So, kind of, surgery, no surgery is minor, but a minor sort of sense of a surgery. And she's got something that's kind of strapped under her nose. She looks kind of like a walrus, and she was quite pale yesterday and stuff coming out of surgery. And then I was explaining to Meg and me goes, oh my God, stop. Stop it right now.

I'm at work. Because I said I pulled up, and she's in a private hospital. Yeah, very nice. Thankfully, we have medical insurance. Thank you very much, Meg, for telling me to do this. that a year ago, by the way. Yes. I think it costs like three grand,

but I think that's the tip of the iceberg. So anyway, I walk in there, and she's in this private room. And with a huge giant TV on the wall. By herself, right? Yeah, and not heaps of, like, noises and beeping and stuff, because this hospital's quite small. I didn't even know it existed.

And it's, like, super lovely, and I get in there. And the nurse comes in, And she's like, hey, would you like me to help you change? And my wife comes out of the bathroom. And she's wearing her jammies. She got changed into her jammies. And it's like 4 o'clock in the afternoon. 4 million jammies.

Oh, my God. I was like, I want to be in my jammies at 4. Yeah, yeah. And then what happened for dinner? No, I mean, I said to her, well, after an hour or so, we're going to have to get going because I had to go do grocery shopping on the way home and then try and sort of kids of dinner out. Oh, poor Jamie can't help, can she? Because she's in a private hospital.

Yeah. Yeah. she kind of reclined her bed and asked for another pillow. And then she couldn't get the networks going. So I logged in for her. And I got it to all work. So she's got like a brand new show that I set up for her. And then as I was leaving, her salmon and broccoliini arrived.

And she had like melon and strepreath. Keep going. I'm close. I'm real close. It's like. And then she said that she had to take these pills and make it really drowsy. So she's going to have kind of like an injuner. induced sleep.

No, children. Like, every mum, I think, has had this fantasy that you're just like, maybe just one day I just have to go to hospital. It's not my fault, so you don't feel any guilt of, like, get in a hotel room or, like, being away from the kids. It's like, I can't do anything about it. I have to go to hospital. And you just sit there, and nobody bothers you,

and you get your dinner bought for you. Oh, yeah. And she had to, like, she ordered her breakfast before she went to sleep because she didn't want to miss the breakfast delivery, and then I've got to go pick her up in the morning. She's going to wake up from her, like, dozy sleep that she got with drugs. It's just heaven. It's just, honestly, it is like winning at the lottery.

I'm not alone in there. I know there's other moms out there that are going, that's exactly what I wish I could have. Private hospital, small minor surgery. Yeah, someone's going to improve your, like, sleep in general well, me. Very nice. She's played it well, thinking that you're feeling sympathetic towards her. No, no, no, no, no.

She's one. Also, don't take kids to a supermarket. God, that was a nightmare. Yeah, I know. and Dan. Hook, the life and times of Captain James Hook and the people of Neverland. It's a musical he wrote when he was 15 and we were acting it out as adult. I've never been more nervous or scared of anything we've done on the show before.

I mean that. I genuinely mean that. We went to the theatre yesterday and if this whole journey was a car, I would be secretly slashing all four tires and going, oh, who did that? Really? I think Petrified Well I guess once I get my role That's maybe when it locks and I realise this is really happening I'm really doing it

Yeah and I think you got a good shot actually Getting Tinkerbella Really? Versus Bella Now Bella is musical She can play the piano I must have got that confused with That she was also a phenomenal singer

Yeah She did a great job But I actually think Meg I thought it was a one horse race You're still in it babe If you can see the I'm here. I love it. She got completely committed,

which means I have to commit. Now, the thing is, as you can probably hear, I am very sick. And I don't have a good singing voice on the best of days. So I've had to kind of alter my tinkerbell a little bit. So I've had to find, and I feel my ticabelle is a bit older. She likes her drinks.

And she likes a dart. Oh, right. So that's the kind of tiki-bell I'm doing. So she's a little different from the original tinkabelle. Okay, and you are also doing Peter's Good. You know I wish that I had Jesse's girl Absolutely bloody classic

One of my faves actually I hope it still is after today I'm about to roll that song for you friend Now the only person that has heard your full audition Is your husband guy I recorded him Yesterday after he'd watched it a couple of times He was doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen

The girls were in bed And I was very seriously practicing And getting frustrated with myself And practicing and getting frustrated and going over and over it, and then I recorded him after he'd heard a few times. What do you think of the performance and what my shot with? I was thinking about it as we were rehearsing. There's other couples out there who's like the night before,

you'd have a presentation to the boards to get funding and you'd be going through your presentation with me and I'd be like talking to you about your talking points. Right. It's all serious. And like, this is our night before work. It's you practicing for a musical. And it's just quite contrasting.

You still haven't said really what you're, you thought I was like in relation to impending Bella. It'll be good enough. It'll work. It's something. Brilliant. It'll fill the break. Words are probably from my husband. Do you think I can get through it without laughing? Oh no. I don't think...

No, I don't think anyone. They're so mean. In radio, when you hate an idea, you go, it'll fill the break. Like, it'll do, but no one's going to be talking about it when they get to work. I should hear what Clint Meg did on here this morning? Oh, God. Yeah, it was funny because we were having these

serious conversations on how I was meant to be thinking about and he's like this is so surreal that this is genuinely your job and what we're doing the night before your big presentation. So true. That's what's going down. Clint Meg and Dan. Oh my God. Clint Megan Dan, although Meg, just Meg and I

because Dan's always sick. He was coughing, spluttering the last week, gave it to us and now he's off. Yeah, unfortunately for us. He sent a text at 2.25am. I don't know if it's just a cold if it's affected to you that much, right? Yeah, and he must be crook because there's no way he'd be missing Meg's audition for Tinkabelle

in our hook musical at 8 o'clock this morning. Yeah. But first, if your phone rings right now, make sure you pick it up and take the edge off my life and we will pay for whatever it is you've asked us for. Is this you? Oh, there's too many rings for my liking. Take the edge off my life. Yes, yes.

Congratulations. That was such a nerve-wracking one, but yes, congratulations. Two hundred bucks to help you with food and staples. You're living out of home for the first time, a bit like Clint. Yeah, how old are you just? I'm 23. Oh, I moved out 24.

Oh, yeah, that makes me feel a whole lot better. Yeah, yeah, it's tricky when you've been on the teep for that long. Yeah, live at home as long as you can, I would say. Why not? Yeah. You wanted some money just towards simple pantry and fridge necessities. I love that, so you can just get your baked, like your spices up to date. All those niggly little things that you need to have in the pantry baking power.

if you bake, I imagine. Vinegas, always. What else? Worsesha. Worsesha. Worsesha. Have that. Okay, so 200 bucks. That will help you out a little bit at least. Oh, well, thank you so much. You're so welcome. You're going to get back to bed now?

I think so, yeah. Oh, God. You live in the life. Moving out at 23. Still asleep at 7. Got a couple of hundred bucks. All sorted. All sorted. Oh, Jess, living a dream, baby. Hold that. We'll get your bank account details, get that cash into it ASAP and then again at 8 o'clock this morning

if you've registered, we could be calling you. Now we chatted about this yesterday. Long, distant friendships. We want to make something happen when we all come together, make it an annual event for around the world people to get together. We're going to talk about what they could look like and what needs to happen. We're having a whiteboard session.

I know, we got very excited yesterday and it was like, wait, is someone writing this down? Who's taking the minutes? It's actually going to happen. Well, you talked about this briefly yesterday. Meeks been especially sitting on this row about a good month now, I think? Yeah, a month or two actually going behind the scenes with our duck horse and also our bosses, trying to get something literally underway that can be an event that we do annually for long-distance best friends to meet up,

have a few nights together in an amazing location and get it out of the group chat, because I don't with me and my long-distance best friends. One of the most frustrating things is all of us trying to organise, something in everyone is busy with their own lives. So I think if there was something that we're like, right, let's go to that, that's how much money we need to save. And we need this amount of time, then we'll all get there because all of the rest of it is organised and done for us.

And you know, it's actually going to be incredible time because we'll put together on itinerary. There'll be a nice mix of like chill, but then a nice mix of like really exciting things. And we were talking about what it might be, because at the moment it can be anything. It can be whatever we created to be. I want to put on the whiteboard somewhere like an island, like a Fiji or a Raro. Like if I, because then you can do it. There's many activities that you want if you want to do kayaking or, I don't know, banana boating. Do they sort of that?

Or you can just do cocktails by the pool and just relax and do nothing. And just read a book in the sun. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So I quite like an island sort of situation. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I think that'd be great. And then actually kind of needs to be an island based on this other idea I have. Okay.

Let's say we bring like 10 couples. There's like 20 people. I think there should be an opportunity for one couple to win their ticket price back. Oh, yeah. And how we decide is like on the same. Saturday night, so we've been there, say, a couple of nights already. Everyone gets a crab. You know how they do like the crab races or the frog races? We put them in the middle, and then we all have a number.

And then the first crab to get outside of the ring, they win their ticket price back. So you know you're now on this island for the rest of the time, and it cost you nothing. I think there should be an element. I'm sure, Clint, I'll put it on the right board about the grand racing. I think there should be an element of you can either opt in or opt out of activities that if you are a French at duo or trio that like doing talent quests and like winning prizes or doing a quiz night

then you can do that and maybe you enjoy doing that and spending time with us and we'll put some stuff on but if you just want to ignore us and just be there with your mate that is also completely available to do for you. I don't want people going thinking they have to go to this wacky radio situation. You know what I mean?

Like if you want to do that then that's great but I want people to feel comfortable enough that they know it's not going to be this big crazy radio stunty thing No, you can go and just relax with your freedom. We'll leave you alone if need be. But obviously, if we did do competition-based stuff, there'd be prizes like an hour.

Like our couples massages and stuff. I love that. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, so there's a little incentive to be like, should we end to that? We could probably win that, you and me. I personally think I would rather pay more money and know that I don't have to save for food and alcohol or drinks

if you don't, like, if you don't drink alcohol like me. And so it's just taken care of it. I think I'd rather pay more and know that it's sorted and I can just be like everything is paid. where it's done. Those hidden costs. Yeah, yeah, versus then like, okay, how much do I need to save every day to make sure I've got enough food?

But that might be different for other people. Yeah, maybe you'd rather not do that. Yeah, so it's a trip they were trying to like throw together based on what, you know, you guys actually want to do. So if it's a bit of you, it just takes Bestie to 3343. And just give us a bit of an idea as to what else you'd like to throw at this trip. Or even just give us a call. I would hunt at the edge.

What needs to happen on Bestie Island for you to want in? If you guys get this sorted I'm in And then we go Okay Leave it to us We'll get it done Four sort of nights before

Yeah four to five days And by us I also mean like duck horse They'll be doing a lot of heavy lifting Because yeah Thank God They're the ones that are behind it Because they are so good at events

That you know it's going to run smoothly Yeah they do event creation Delivery and Packdown How good no one likes doing the pack down Yeah that's so true Yeah so if you're like yeah I've got a long distance bestie If you guys can make this happen

I'm in what is that thing 33435 the text, or 0,800 the edge, because this is actually growing legs and will become a real thing and you don't want to miss the boat. Yeah, no idea, bad idea. It's a whiteboard session. We really want this event to happen. Even the crab

thing? I like the crab thing, if I'm being honest. I do like the crab thing. As long as the crabs are happy, you know me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. None of the crabs will get armed. Anyone who's tuned in just now goes the crab thing. Whether we're making crabs over in Fiji. unexpected to create the unforgettable.

They are helping us put on long-distance bestie island. Yeah, this is something that I have been so passionate about behind the scenes. In fact, I found an email from four years ago with this idea that I'm like, I would love to do this if I could ever get off the ground where I believe that there are so many

long-distance best mates around the world that would love to come together for an annual event where they all just catch up and do what they want to relax and have it ticked off because then for the rest of the year you know you're going to see them, you know you're going to get four days with them, you save up towards it, and you wait for next year again. It's just so hard to get out of the group chat.

We need to know what needs to happen for you to be there. Yeah, Nicole, what do you think? Morning Nicole. Hey. Hey, where's your bestie? She's in Australia. Okay, great. And are you open to the idea of long-distance Bestie Island?

Yes, definitely. I think that's exactly what we need. Okay, okay. What is the thing that you need for it to be that would help to get you there? All-inclusive would be great because then you don't have to worry about anything else your food and your drinks and everything sorted. It's just done.

You're not looking at the menu going, so if I don't have lunch, I could probably get that for dinner. I want to do one fancy dinner and then I get one cocktail here. Yeah, exactly. I love that, Nicole. We'll put it on the whiteboard. You're not budgeting the whole way through.

I love this one as a text. My laundress is bestied. I have one photo together, maybe a bestie photo shirt. It's notorious that best friends. never have any photos together. Fantastic idea. Maybe we could get like a photographer session.

A professional photographer with us. It is literally just in charge of getting the best photos for everyone. And I'm abulous at getting people's good lighting. It's like my secret talent, so I'll make sure that you get good photos together. I love that. Ben, morning. Morning, how's it going? Good, mate.

Where's your best day? He's in at Tial Mutu at the moment, eh? Oh yeah. Okay, and how long is the last time you guys caught up? We're actually catching up in next week. but last time was last year. Oh yeah, okay, so it's about a once-a-year sort of situation. Okay, and what would you guys be up for, for the island?

To be honest, we've gotten up to a lot of stuff in our time, and it's sort of anything, eh? Like, a talent show would be pretty crack-up, but just the opportunity to hang out would be real cool. A talent show, what would you talent be? Do you have something up your sleeve? we we um like at uni we did uh a couple of like performances where we rewrote the words to some rap songs that um okay yeah yeah that speeds and bends in that would be fantastic

to see someone else is saying you do the uh the bestie quiz they do that for like the honeymoon quiz as well when everyone arrives to see how well you actually do know your bestie when you first arrive and everyone gets given a score that they have to wear for the next 24 else that's the thing i'm going to have to make sure that claims not organizing the this whole thing, where it becomes some sort of weird survivor game. Someone else did like the idea, though, of winning their flights back or their ticket price back for the trip. But rather than doing...

The crab? Yeah, the crab race. They were saying we could actually just bury, like, a gold bar, like, in the beach somewhere, and we do, like, a treasure hunt. If you find it, you win back your ticket price. I don't mind that as a mechanic either. Speaking of burying, I saw somebody say that they would think... Time catch would be cool that every year.

If you are going to do it, every year, open up the time gap, or a letter to each other or something like that could be quite cute. You want to find the balance between overly shopping and sweet and just like, it's just a great time to have go with your mates. Yeah, and sometimes you just like, you just need someone else to do it all. So you just go, yeah, where do I have to be? And how much do I need? Okay, cool.

I can do those two things and then I'm there. And honestly, it's one of those things you'll never get back from and go, I wish I still had that money in my account and none of those memories. Yeah. No one says that. All right. Text bestie, B-E-S-T-I-E to 33-4-3. There is a form.

It is literally just us trying to get information of what you would need, how much you want to spend, how much time you need to save up. Send that to your mate as well. And we're really trying to make sure that this is catered exactly for what you want. And let's just ditch a little bit of the winter. Let's skip some Kiwi winter for somewhere warm and hot, sunny. I'm so excited.

I want a real tan in winter. For the first time. A long time. All right. Take the edge off my life is happening at 8 o'clock. We'll pay for it. If you answer the phone, take the edge off my life. And Meg's audition for Tinkerbell, the last audition,

as we put together, hook the musical that Dan wrote when he was 15 years old. Clint, Mega Dan. Lesh, go. Okay. It's a little doom and gloom. It's nice to hear that there are some really cool things happening around the world, but you just don't hear about it. Children with Down syndrome are some of the loveliest, just happiest people, like going around.

Well, people, not even just kids. You know, people, my husband met somebody just the other day. I think it was yesterday he told me with, that has Downs Syndrome. And he said it's my birthday on Thursday to Guy. And Guy goes, it's my birthday on Thursday. And there's this wonderful little exciting bond, and I believe Guy is about to drop off a little prison to him, which is really awesome.

Well, turns out people with Down syndrome might end up being incredibly rare. Or uncommon at all going forward, because Japanese scientists have managed to remove the chromosome linked to the condition. I don't know how I feel about that. I know. Well, that's what I was thinking is. I don't know if that is good news. It's only been done in a laboratory setting, not in real life, but they can remove the chromosome.

I guess to give somebody, I guess, more opportunity perhaps in life, but I don't know. I don't know if I like that one, Clint. I feel that that information might make people who do have Down syndrome feel like that there's something that are not loved and wanted and deserved in this. in this world and I would say, I'm sorry, that is bad news. Okay. I'm tired. Okay, give me another one. Franz van Veld an artificial heart that can beat forever with no need for a donor.

So people sitting on a waiting list needing a heart. Now they can get an artificial one that works better than the real thing. That is very good news. That must be a terrible time for people that need heart surgery who are just waiting on somebody else's misfortune. Totally, eh? Yeah, not waiting for somebody to die so that they get to live. by the end of this year

I looked into this one as well eyedrops that will correct vision without needing glasses will be available for sale I love that but you had laser eye surgery right I've read some really terrible things about laser eye surgery in the past they can be quite risky you obviously had a great

experience you said it was one of the best things you ever did but eyedrops would be even better corrective eye drops by the end of this year South Korea they know what's going on they're testing separate lanes you'll love this one for fast and slow pedestrians to help reduce stress.

That's like, that's me. That's me. I'm in that fast lane at all times. So just walking around the streets. You've got like blue for fast and then green if you're just chilling. And it's like, well, pick a lane and don't get in the fast walking lane if you're just chilling because the slow one's right next to it. Yeah.

I love that. I love that. But I still feel like the people that are meant to be in the slow lane won't know it. Yeah. I love it. That will be their first day on planet Earth. It's color-coded. More good news. Japan reached a record internet speed of 1.02 petabits per second,

which allows the entire Netflix library to be downloaded in one second. So Japan's doing some pretty cool stuff with internet speak. How's your internet going? I don't even, you know, I complain about my internet every single morning. I'm like a broken record here. And historic breakthrough in medicine, the world's first 3D printed cornea restored vision in a blind patient. in fronts.

Incredibly smart people doing an incredibly smart thing. You know when you just get told someone by a doctor, I mean like, you'll never walk again or you'll never do this again. It's like, well, maybe not this year. Yeah.

But who knows? I think there's some good news around the world when you just think, man, everything's just doom and gloom. Some people do some cool stuff. Bring the fast lane here. Oh, God.

Bring the past lane here, absolutely. All right, books by boomers coming up next. It is good to see how far we've come. I have a list of things that apparently women can do with their husbands according to Jennifer Warwick

that solves any problem in any marriage. I'd love to have your feedback on it as a man, Clint. This is back when she wrote it in the... This is 2005. Oh, she's only 20 years ago? It's a worry. Clint, Megan Dan. Books by Boomers.

This one is from 2005, written by a woman. It is called How to Live with a Man and Love It, as if it's hard to do. And the page that has caught my eye is some of the misdemeanors that she says husbands can do and then that the behaviour modification that you can do in retaliation and that will apparently fix the problem. So let's see Clint if this would work for you. Okay.

Okay. He frequently skips foreplay. She says... Oh, shut down, Clint. I didn't ask for any other things. opinion. Okay, the behavior modification, she said, was withhold sex until

he holds you or like Oh, so you just turn the tap off until you get what you want. Yeah, that always does work. Okay, that would work. It would work for anything though. If my wife wants me to bow the lawns and then then that's the trade-off, I'm not sure. Okay, misdemeanor.

Your husband drinks too much. She says the behavior modification and the fix is to videotape him every time together a tape for his next viewing displeasure of every time that he's drug. Over the last week, let me just play you some of the highlights.

Work or not work for you? If Jamie did that. She filmed you every time you were drinking and then put a little video together. You'd have to film it in secret because if every time I'd be a beer and I see her with her phone out, I'm like, can you not like I think it'd be worse? But if you're filming it secretly and then editing it together maybe.

Yeah. Okay, if he smokes too much, apparently you should use, I guess, chat. in the modern day, or she said computer forecast how he will look in 20 years if he continues to smoke and just print out photos of that. That would do that, actually. If you went, I've just gone and put your face in AI

and if you keep smoking, this is what you're going to look like, and if you stop, this is what you're going to look like. That'd absolutely do it. If your man dislikes your mum, she says, invite her to stay for the long weekend of enforced quality time. No. I didn't know if that would work or not. Well, like, you're just like, it's COVID and you're just trapped.

You're like, well, she's staying for the long weekend, better start liking her. Long weekend, not even just a normal weekend. No, no. Okay, what about if he never lets you get a word in edgewise? She says, this is Jennifer from a book that she wrote 20 years ago on How to Live with a Man. She says, use a timer and give him five minutes to say his peace. And after that, once it goes off, he's not allowed to talk anymore. I don't know if it would work.

I don't know. Five minutes is the long time, though, I suppose. Okay. if he is smelly with old sexual favours until he bades. If he tells bad jokes, she says, place some comics and humour books in the bathroom so he can get some new material. Lots of pass-ag stuff going on.

If he's obsessed with his electronic toys, like Dan, who isn't here today, unfortunately he's sick, with his little cars, she said, become obsessed with your own battery-operated toys. But again, I don't think that's going to stop him playing with his. You know? Yeah, do know. If he picks his teeth, leave toothpicks.

to the remote. If he hogs the remote, designate one night where you own the television and he's not allowed to choose anything. How, is this lady married? Apparently. He's still married? He just does whatever, right? It is a very passing alcohol. Because you can't be giving marriage advice

if you're not rock solid in yours or you've had like three or four different partners. She said if he's a hardcore, your husband's a hardcore couch potato, work out or do yoga in front of the television. They just set up your mat, right? Yeah, that'd get me. It's a lot of pesag.

It's a lot of pesag. Although maybe if you've been in four marriages, then you're four times as good at it. Because you've had lots of different times to tailor your responses and things. I don't know. This woman basically treats her husband a bit like a training dog. Yeah, it does feel like,

and we can be trained. We absolutely can be trained. You just got to find the right bone. Right. Yeah. All right, let's take the edge off your life coming up at 8 o'clock this morning. if you haven't, let us know what you need cash for.

You can ping us a text, just text Edge to 3343, and we can be calling him 15 minutes saying, here you go, it's all yours. And then of course Meg's audition for Tinkerbell. Now, Dan Weby is away today. Yeah. And for how many

weeks or months now, do you think he's been asking Producer Carl? Yes. Yes. Honestly, it has been 100% yes, since he has been asking for this. Yeah, producer Carl's nodding. So he's been wanting this for a lot. Long, long time. Long time.

Yeah, he's wanted to do this idea. And we put a lot of research in. I've tried to make it happen, but basically the cost is thousands of dollars. Carl even thought about building his own one, which was even more expensive, as it turns out. And I don't even know where you would start in building your own lie detector test.

Yeah, for some reason, Dan Webby has been wanting to do one and have the test done on us for many years. This is because I think Vanity Fair do a lie detector test on celebrities, it's always a bit of fun, it's our favorite video normally to watch. Yeah, I think Al Fending was that a Vanity Fair one that the girls were doing and she got asked about her love and obsession for Jack Black. You and I are both in a group chat dedicated to how hot

this man is. Hotest man I've ever seen in my life. Sex on legs, baby. Would you appear in the next Minecraft movie just to get closer to him? Yeah, she is telling the truth Yeah, she's a big thing for Jack Black Yeah, Jack Black, he's also been hooked up to one in the past

What did you have for lunch today? I had sushi Ah, son of a bitch, it shocked me! You're lying, you're lying! What's your home address? That's not a fair question. What's your home address? Tell the truth. No, I don't...

That's not... Yeah, all right. And then, obviously, I think probably the most famous lie-detected test was back in the day with me and Stiller. Did we eat pot roast for dinner tonight? Yes.

Was it undercooked? No, it was rare. It was a little rare for my taste. But I... I'm just kidding. I remember there used to be a show back in the 2000s, let's see if anybody else remembers that, and it was to do a lie detector test on stage

in front of your family and friends. And it ruined people's lives. I remember somebody said, like, one of them was admitting to cheating, to win money. Yeah, you win money if you answered correctly, but if you lied and you lost all the money, and they'd just find out the most horrific things about you. Yeah, there was one about, I think,

really messed up stuff about, like, that her dad had cheated on her mom. There was one guy who... It's coming in, the moment of truth. The moment of truth. I think it was a Greek husband, and he was, like, beloved by the whole nation because he got asked this horrible question of,

like, do you actually think your wife is attractive? And they were in their 50s, and I thought she was a beautiful woman, but, you know, some would say, you know, he would be attracted to other women. He was like, yes, she is the most beautiful woman in the world, and he got it right, and the crowd was just cheering. So I thought, but man, I would never go on a show like that.

Never, even, never. Not because I would be worried about lying, but it's just... Well, you are, I mean, the good news is you're not going on a show like that because we don't have any money to pay you. The bad news is you are going on the lie detector test. Producer Carl? This has been the other part of this is where there has been a bit. a hesitation is that I

did a lot of research and I cannot find a positive story to come out of people doing lie detectors in public whether I've been on radio show TV show or just a bunch of friends it always goes tits up. Dan wants to do it. He's not here today. He's always sick. Can we brainstorm some things

we'd like to throw it, Dan? Questions for Dan. Yeah. What is a question you've always wanted to ask Dan or know about Dan that you think he might lie about but he can't if he's hooked up to a lie detector? 3343. Megan are going to compile a list. Okay.

His question is going to be way worse than ours. Let's hope. Because we're joining forces. So we are doing one? Yeah. You're getting hooked up to it as well. Okay. All right.

Yeah. I've got some goodies for you. See it. Clip McGon Dan. Steps getting close to 8 o'clock. Clint Meg and Dan. We're going to get to take the edge off in just a few. But we have a lie detector test that's making its way to studio.

Something Dan has wanted to do as part of the show for years now. And he may regret. that. Yeah and Dan's away. He's sick today so we thought it'd be great to kind of compile some of the questions that we could throw it, Dan. Okay, I've got a couple here. I've got, how many burner accounts do you currently have active to comment on

your own gear? Oh, yes, because we know of... Because we know of... We know of due, and one of them we didn't know about, one we had to actually tie him down to a chair and ask him about, so... Where was he? I remember tying him to a chair? We're yelling at him. Oh, electric have.

Electric Avenue. Christchard. Yeah, we tied him to a chair. That's right, so he had nowhere to go. Yeah, that's right. He came clean pretty quick, actually. He'd be terrible in an interrogation. Yeah, so I want to know that one. As somebody else is saying, I want to know from Dan, is the urban legend about him and the vacuum cleaner story true,

or is it just for lulls on the radio? Just for radio. I think I know the answer to that. Sadly, no matter what his answer is, that's pathetic. Do you know what I mean? Like, there's no winning in that situation for him. Which co-worker Do you still see yourself being friends with 10 years from now?

If he goes none, then he doesn't see a future with us, Meg, outside of the story. No, wow. Okay, that's a new, okay, what about this one? Okay. I want to ask him, be honest, do you play up being bad at maths to be funny? Because either. Does yes or no? That's great, I do love a stitch-up answer, we are both a bad.

I also love one where it needs context, but you don't have time to give it because the lie detector person just wants yes or no. Who is the most attractive man in radio? Ooh. It'd be an interesting one. That is an interesting one. Let's go to Kristen.

Oh, I hand with the edge. Kristen, what would you ask? Morning. So if Hannah was to be Freaky Friday and to either Megan or Clinton, who would you prefer? Ooh. Yeah.

Oh, God, he's going to show. struggle with that one because he's not going to want either of us, is he? He's not going to want either. I mean, but also Hannah's going to be inside one of you. Yeah, exactly, true. And you're going to be inside Hannah, so who would he be? He would be getting very confused about ways. Oh my God, I'm trying to start to be on my best behaviour because it's 8 o'clock, Kristen.

He's doing it on purpose. Okay, let's, we keep them coming through because we'll compile this list and then we'll strap Dan to the lie detector next time he's back at work. But in the meantime, we got some cash to give away, and then also Meg is auditioning for the role of Tinkerbell. She's taking on Bella, who if you missed yesterday. There's a few scraps on the floor there, play, Mac. I just got nervous.

Did you? Just now, I just got, yeah, I got sweaty pounds. When are you getting changed? I'm going to get changed after the age of my life. I'm going to leave it to the last minute because it's a drooch. Okay, all right. Hopefully we call you next. Clint Meg and Dan.

Texas on the edge is nine past eight, Clint Meg and Dan. Meg will be performing for the role of Tinkerbell in our hook musical that Dan wrote 20 years ago as a child. Because Dan's not here today and he's away. like you're doing just like a private performance for me. I kind of, I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I kind of wish he was here. Because, I mean, then you guys can at least just banter about it and take the purse, and it's like, all good.

But it's just singing to you now, and it's really weird. We can get some more people in from the office. Take the edge off. Take the edge off my life. You could be winning whatever you need to take the edge off. All right. We had a success at 7 o'clock this morning. even though it was a little lackluster and I think they were rather tired. Was it Jess?

She still answered would take the edge off my life at all counts. So if you've requested cash from us, we could be calling you right now with the good news that it's all yours. You just have to do. You have to answer correctly otherwise. Take the edge off my life.

Get it! Lori, congratulations. We've got $315 cash going into your bank account today. Yes, no. Thank you. What's our money going towards? that's going to my daughters as second um

orchestra and violin invoical. Oh yeah, kids hobbies are expensive. Oh man. Your violin classes do not sound cheap. I have three beautiful daughters. They're all into music. So yeah,

it's a little. You should just so, blessing. Yeah, yeah, you should just pick whoever's the best at music and go, right, you're doing music.

What are the other two? What do you guys want to do? Something cheap. What is that? Sorry. Yeah, get them into football or something. All right, congratulations. $315.

Oh, no, I think of gymnastics. Oh, you're gymnastics. It's expensive to other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cheaper hobbies. Yeah. Do some for orientering. Yeah, that's good.

All right, so, Yuri, congratulations. You hold there. We'll get their cash out to you. And if you do want to register, whether it's for, I've just seen the text, whether it's something completely different to what you've asked for the first time.

It's all good. just text edge to 3, 3, 3, 4. Dan, bloody webby, is just text saying, I'm listening. If you're listening, you could have been here. If you're well enough to listen, you don't deserve to hear this. We'll see it. Dan, I'm dying.

He's probably said a laugh. I've got, must hear Meg's audition for Tinkerbell. Right, I'm getting dressed now. Oh, okay. Oh, all right. Oh, you're leaving the studio. It's going to be a real surprise and everything. Oh, okay.

So you have three minutes and 11 seconds to get. changed and then Meg will be up on stage performing and auditioning for the role of Tinkerbell and Hook the Musical that Dan wrote 20 years ago. There's a lot going on. We have our Hook and Dan. I am Peter Pan. I just found out yesterday we did our Riki. I will not be a flying Peter Pan. Devowed. Absolutely devastated. Clint, Meg and Dan. Okay, absolute scenes. We're just doing a mic test for Meg's audition. It wasn't working.

It's just, are we good? Good? Yeah, we're good. Oh my God, okay. Meg has just walked in as Tinkerbell. You got a pixie cut. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to have a blog for this. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, can hear you. Okay, Meg. So I'm absolutely cacking myself. I am sick. I can't sing when I'm not sick, and now I am sick, and it's even worse. So the background to my Tinkerbell is that she's, if you can imagine it, she's had a few to drink. You know, she's probably smoked a few packets as well

Oh, fun time And she's out at karaoke night All right She's out at karaoke, she's a bit older She's like she's been, she's She's been around And she's singing to Peter At karaoke night

So that's a bit of background to that I remind you are auditioning for the role of Tinkabau which also Webe Girl Bello auditioned for yesterday That's the high watermark Yeah, no one's drowning Okay So you are going to be performing

to the song or the tune of Jesse's girl. Yes. Okay. So I'll start my monologue and then just hit off the music when you can. Am I sounding good, everybody? Brill.

This is... It's just literally Bella. We're your Bella is in here watching her competition and me. So Dan's away sick. Oh, and the boys in the both as well. Yeah. Go back. Go ahead.

And the rest of the music and listening to you with baited breath. All right. Here we go. Okay. Oh, God. I mean, here we go. This is... I think we can make it work somehow.

Because in Neverland, if you believe, true love will always prevail. Peter is my friend. He's always been a good friend of mine. Lately something's changed, it ain't hard to define. Peter's got himself a girl,

and he even made her fly. And I'm just sick of all this. these lies. And I love him with my whole body, but he doesn't know it. And I want to be in his arms. Late late at night. You know, I wish that I was Peter. I wish he was Peter's girl.

He just go back. I play along with all the games. There doesn't seem to be a reason to change. You know, I try to be flirty and show him how I'm fun and cute. I want to tell him that I love him. him and just live inside his boot and I'm just sick of all these lies because I love him with my whole body

but he doesn't know it and I want him to hold me late late at night you know I wish that I was PEDY's girl I'm just crickets, just silence from that so that's um

what's you think we'll take some feedback next day I think I think we didn't need to do my audition Clint I think we could have just given it to ballet and we all knew how this was going to go. Not your worst though, says Mick. I says Denny. Clint Meg and Dan.

Stinky B. Yeah. The life and times of Captain James Hook and the people of Neverland. Less than a month away from performing. A musical that Dan wrote when he was 15 years of age. We went to the theatre, to the Tappick Theatre.

I've never wanted to slash the tyres with something more. Yeah. that and I can't like I'm dressed up I look an absolute idiot. Dan Weby's not even here, didn't even bother showing up. Yesterday Bella had about 25 people from the office sitting in the booth watching

her. No one for me. I just went to perform that to nobody sitting in this very costume only for people to be like that was truly truly awful. There's only one decks. There was another one that says I'm going back

to bed. Another one says Meg, sorry, Bella, she beat you. Yeah, fair enough, I said Bella would be... I didn't hate it. There's one. It's not... I mean, it's the best one that I got is I didn't hate it. Woo-hoo go, Meg, one vote for Meg.

We all know that this role is never meant to mind. Pleasantly surprised. Yeah. Clint, you recorded that, right? I did, Rick, and I got a replay for anyone who's just tuned in. And I'm just sick of all these lies. And I love him with my whole buddy, but he doesn't know it. And I want.

And I want to be in his arms. The video needs to go up today, ASAP. You know I wish that I was Peter's girl. We all know the moment that Bella decided that she wanted to audition for Tinkerbell, I was going to get the role of Smee. And if you don't know who Smee is, Smey is Huck's little assistant, and he's got a pop belly, he's bald, he's got sideburns and big, like, hairy eyebrows. We all know that's me.

It's going to be me. So can we just rip the Band-Aid off? Well, let's just make sure Because Estelle had some thoughts Estelle, your thoughts on Meg's performance To represent the nation And what we were all kind of feeling Absolutely

Do not be so hard on yourself, Meg I tell you what It's when you do the talking bit Your voice is beautiful Ratsby and raw So would you stop singing I need to do speak singing Speak singing

I need to learn on that Oh yeah you know when you hit your lower register Now, don't you be hard on yourself today? That was beautiful. Thank you, Estelle, my darling, beautiful angel. She must have an edge coming out of her radio on a different frequency. Somebody just said it was giving drug karaoke, and that was what I was trying to do. Yeah.

So happy with that. What about Dee? Yeah. Morning, Dee. What do you think? Morning. I thought, I loved it. I was going to say that she just needed a little more oomph.

And she'd have thrown that out to park. Okay. All right. A little more oomph. More oomph. How much more information we got? I don't know. Somebody has said she's a liar, the lady on the phone before.

Guys, we're not. I wouldn't anybody thinking they tuned in and listening and going, now Meg thought that was really good. I know I can't sing. Have you any spears balls in your diary? Someone else would like to book a cancellation. How do I cancel when I haven't booked? Thank you so much.

Yeah. Oh, God. Other people are easily Meg for Tinkerbell. That was awesome Someone else said Make it stop Stop playing the replay Yeah

It's really mixed Honestly Could go either way Not your worst Pissing I don't know Or that like laughter

So what Should we give it 24 hours Sure Or do you want to admit Defeat Like what do you Do you want to wait 24 hours For your fate

Or do you fall on the sword now I would rather admit defeat And just say can I just be Smee? You want to be Smey? I mean, I would rather that then have to wait 24 hours to be told that I lost the gig.

I mean, being honest, and I'll do an epic smear. Listen to Dan, let's make the decision tomorrow morning because he hasn't heard it. We'll play him both, because it's honest to God, a real 50-50. Some people definitely want you to think about, and other people definitely do not.

Yeah. Stop reading the text. You have made that very clear, everybody. Can we've got meant from the texts? Clint, Megan Dan Let's go All right This is where we throw out a story each

And then look for a very specific type of person If we get someone to call for our topic First, we win And so do you, you get a double-passer each mussy movie Which will sort you out What's scary movie? It's back next Thursday. Who are you looking for, Clint?

I'm looking for somebody Who has gone viral Obviously we've all heard of Tim Payne now And if you haven't, The New Zealand Footballer Who plays for the Wellington Phoenix as a defender. They will be taken on England

and an international football friendly ahead of the FIFA World Cup on Sunday morning. He now, like since yesterday, he's grown half a million followers. It's becoming less and less impressive because of how many followers. He started with 4,000.

He now, yesterday was 4 million. It's got 4.5 million as of this morning. He has a football figurine, like a he-man, like a character, like a Barbie doll. How do they even make it that fast? Crazy a eye.

And he also has his own song that I imagine will be thrashed in the stands when New Zealand take to the pitch. Tim Payne, no pain, no gain. I really feel for him because the pressure is going to be so immense now to perform. Unreal. Man, if he gets into the box for a corner because he's a defender, so he wouldn't probably score too many goals.

But if he gets up for an attacking corner and scores, imagine. Imagine the crowd going crazy for him. I hope he does. Okay, Tom Holland did the podcast with Amy Polar, Good Hang. I can't wait to listen to the whole thing. He did talk about how he had to turn sober at one point. He now has a zero alcohol beer company called Beiro, which is really cool. He is married to Zendaya, and he spoke about the moment he realized, like, he had to give up alcohol.

So I quit drinking because I had a problem, and I just couldn't put it down. And it was affecting my professional life. it was affecting my personal life and my health. So I decided to pack it in, and I got through that first year, which I think was the toughest challenge that I've ever been on. And during that first year, I noticed that there was limited options

for people like me that were looking for something that would scratch that itch, that would help you live or go to the bar and be a part of the social experience, but not feel like the only person with a lemonade. Yeah, so I want to know if you have given up alcohol, if you were sober like Tom Holland now, and what was that moment that you realised you were like,

because he didn't go into the details of what was the last night. What was the last night that you were like, that is going to be my last drink. I would love to know what was the thing. You vomit to a handbag and you go, right, that's it. No, I think our producer Phipsy still does drink. He did that. But it wasn't his moment.

But I would love to know what was your moment. Yeah, where you're like, That is that's the final straw that I'm now not drinking anymore. We'd love to hear from you, please. Yeah, okay, so if you've ever gone viral for anything, ever, or if you had a moment where you go, that's it. I'm done with drinking. O-800 there, so is the two people that we're looking for this morning.

Producer Cal, I think, is still trying to chase Tim Payne, but so is the rest of the country and the world at the moment. You imagine how hard is to slide into his DMs now? Yeah, impossible. Clint, Megan, Dan. All cool, let. All right, Megan, I've thrown out a couple of things. stories looking for two very specific types of people.

I am producer Carl. Since Friday morning, Tim Payne blew up and we tasked you with trying to get him on the show. Who have you... Oh, Carl? Is he busy? I was taking calls. Carl? No, he's talking about it.

Who have we spammed in DM to try and get Tim Payne the footballer on? Who now has four and a half million followers? I've been an absolute pest, hey. I've tried him, I've tried his wife. I've tried to track down his peasant. I've tried the clubs, the media teams. This guy has gone dark, man. Wow.

I don't think we could pay to get him out of the cave at the moment. Yeah, fair enough. Okay, we'd love to know, based on the back of Tim Payne's fame, who now has, like, figurines and stuff. It's just crazy. He even got his own song. Have you ever gone viral for anything? And Meg, you are looking for...

Yeah, Tom Holland has recently talked more about how he went sober. He doesn't drink anymore, and he created an alcohol-free beer because of it. I want to know what was the moment that you realized you had to turn sober. What was that singular? I'm guessing there would have been, maybe there was a big stack of things. Maybe there was one singular night, but you were like, I'm done. Oh, ding, ding, ding, looks like you win because you've got to call it for yours first. Ruby.

Hey, Ruby. Morning, Robs. Hi, my name's Catherine. Oh, that'll be why you're not answering to Ruby? We'll get that change in our assistant care. I was like, come on, Ruby. All right, Kat. Catherine, how many years sober and what was the moment that you realised you had to stop drinking?

I'm 14 years sober. Congratulations. Wow. Thank you. Yeah, I was drinking New Year's with a group of people that had been drinking for many more years than I had. I was a mother of three young children and I had. and I had realized that I had drank probably twice as much as them and I was still feeling pretty functioning

and the rest of them were well past functioning. Oh, and you just know you go, I'm just getting too immune to this thing. Yeah, and it was just, you know, the financial side of it, the health side of it and, yeah, the cost that my kids were missing out of it. on. Yeah. It was, yeah, just all way too much. So, yeah, I, from drinking daily, I went cold turkey.

Damn. Oh, cold turkey is an incredible feat to just give up something like that. Drinking daily. Hold there and we'll grab your details, Kath, and get that double pass to our musty movie, scary movie and cinema's next Thursday out to you. At Texkeman, I realised I had a drinking problem when I got mad at myself. I'm missing my alarm, but in reality I just put the number 745 into my calculator app. and realize that maybe you needed to sort life out.

Kylie, your son has gone viral. Yes, twice, in fact. Wow. What's he up to? First one was when he was approximately 12 years old. Two sets of parents went out, left. They had two sons. We had three.

Left all the boys at home, as you do. Oh, he must have been 14. Sorry, don't want to get in trouble. Sure, yeah. I was listening. Yeah, definitely 14. The boys were having fun as they do and decided it was a good idea to push our youngest son,

who was five years younger, down our stairs with concrete at the bottom in a big huge washing basket. Very scared parents when we got shown the video months and months later. Oh my gosh, and so obviously he was okay? Oh, yeah, absolutely fine. Then how many? I follow this page called kids getting hurt.

And if anything, it's good research as a parent to be like, oh, make sure my kids don't do that, you know? And it's posted, a lot of the videos are posted from parents going, he was fine, by the way, she was fine, by the way. How many views did it get? Oh, millions. But not on my son's page. It was the someone else shared it and it got millions of views.

Oh, so we didn't even get. But that one was, nah. he's a professional athlete so he probably doesn't want that sort of thing on his page anyway It sounds like his brother's not going to be no Yeah yeah Yeah so it's

Looks like a lot of people coming in through With their sober stories That we won't be able to get to unfortunately Yeah Yeah fee sober for six years now Basically I would start and couldn't stop Do you still get the badge For every year

You know they do like a year's badge And then a second year Like an actual physical badge Yeah, I think, well, that's what they're doing, like, the movies and stuff. So I wonder if that's, like, a thing that is actually, happens in real life. Maybe go to Fee quickly and... Fee, do they give you the badge every year for sobriety?

No, I'm not going to say. That'll teach me for doubling down. Well, Claire, maybe when you give up drinking, you can find out. Yeah, yeah. You do the research, buddy. Yeah, yeah. That's what's going to get you to stop drinking, getting a little badge. I'll make you one.

Thanks, Meg. 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.
