This is Clint Meg and Dan live. Good morning, 1 to 6 on your Tuesday. When do we decide when to use that fun opener? Do you just decide on a whim in the morning, Clintie? I think it's Nipia. Produce the Nipia call. Oh, he makes the big cool, does he? I love that. I'll get it in the morning and Carl will go,

hey put that in the show and then I go okay and then that's how it goes also it sounds like it's a Carl call then yeah I'm doing what I'm told I was saying it's a great call so you can just claim the call so I made that decision all by myself this morning happy Tuesday everybody

I just we walk into the studio this morning the edge hedge mascots in there oh yeah he's cute yeah I want to get inside it that's what he's in I want to wear it it's just you shouldn't leave it's just like 60%

dude. What are the boys? Yeah, those, those, those. Yeah, and you don't leave that sort of stuff lying around in a radio studio because people do get beside it. Oh, Yaz will steal it and probably wear it on a Saturday. Like when Dan found his jumper being worn by Yaz

and he goes, I was looking for that for like four weeks. She's just been wearing it around Auckland. She's like, oh, I don't know, I found it. He's like, yeah, it worked where I left it. I put it on yesterday after she'd been wearing it for weeks. It stinks. Oh, don't. It does. It smells like musty, like...

I've lost my reading glasses, and I can't. Too embarrassed to tell Adrian, my husband. Maybe he has got them. Probably. Yeah. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. Time for a 6am throwback. Oh, heartbreaking, Ash.

I knew we wouldn't. That is BS. Your request isn't even in our system. Is there any from that artist? Yeah, but it'll probably just be the dumb cheesy. I'll have a look. It's actually their best song. I know.

Why don't I just play it off my laptop into the speaker? Oh, yeah, that'll be outs. standing legal quality. Oh, I can still play it like off Spotify. I can't believe it, I just gave away now. I can't take it back. When you're looking like that, Westlife.

God, you guys are showing your age, man. Bloody man. Showing our coolness. Yeah. I raise your Westlife and take you up to the Spice Girls because in 2007, the Spice Girls announced their reunion tour this day. Okay, but which song are you going?

because there's a lot of options. There's a plethora of Spice Girls' songs. I would go, I mean, spice up your life. Stop right now is my favorite. Would you go with something more like romantic, Dan? Who had sex last night among us? Anyone? Anyone have sex last night? Yes.

You did? I did. Come on, Dan. I'm like a year the only one. What did you do? How'd you get it? It had nothing to do with the Spice Girls. I'll tell you that for nothing. How did that make you get on to talk about?

To become one? It's a bad thing about sex. What do you mean? Well, how did you manage to get over the line? I cooked dinner for the entire family. And then when my wife got home, I made sure I had hot dinner all ready for her and plated it up. We just went to bed really early.

And I was like, you know what? We've come to bed too early. And I was like, there's only one thing we really can do. And then we did it. Come on. Okay. Did you have a cup of tea afterwards? We usually do, yeah.

I love that. My favourite thing is when you had sex early enough that you can then have a second activity afterwards. Like you then relax together. Yeah, we just have a cup of tea after. Yes, and the smugness. Yeah. Well, we've been like, well, we've been like, well, anything else is an extra.

You do feel about 75. Yes. Just a cup of tea, yes. Okay, well, that's going out to Dan and everyone else who had six last night. Come on. Yes. Congratulations. 3343.

Give us a text. Did you have a sex offer? And did you have a cup of tea? I bet there's not a single person in New Zealand that had a cup of tea after sex last. Oh, what they gently do? The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Somebody, oh, I'm just thinking if I read your name out or not.

Yes, I did have hot sex last night morning team because we said that one was going out to everyone who got lucky. Come on you. The best part is that there's no punctuation between it. It just says, yes, had socks at hot sex last night morning team. Yeah. Good on you. But no one's having tea afterwards.

I've never had a tea after sex. But are you not having it before? Because Hannah and my wife and I We have a cup of tea every night I have my English breakfast And she has a green It's like a weird blue tea It's like a sleepy tea

And we have it every night And if we're doing If we're getting on the good foot And doing the bad thing You don't have it before that You have it after You could Because then you're like a warm and relaxed

Yeah but you don't want to be warm and relaxed Before that You want to be hot and bothered Yeah but I start out warm and relax Although you don't want a belly Full of swishing liquid As you're bouncing right I don't really care

I'm just... You take what you can get at any point. Yeah, belly full of liquid, hot, cold, whatever. My thing is, once I've had my tea, I'm out. I'm done. I'm done for the night. Fair enough. You know, we once had this idea.

I'm not saying you're going to be in 10 more years. And I still think we could do it. We could get a Dilma or a twinings on board. Dilma, do try it. And we have everybody over to my house. Like, everybody as many people, and we have a big mass tea. Yeah, and what's that for? Like, where we all just get in bed and have a mass tea.

Mass tea. Oh, he's... Yeah, Ash took a couple of guns. You're so much better than that, though. That's why I didn't get it. Mass. You're so much better than that. On mass.

Yeah, I get it. But you're better than that, and that's not one of your best. I'm not really. He is better than that. I don't think I am. Okay, you're not. I try to give you a couple of them. And everybody could come along.

You could have, like, Earl Grey. You could have a twine. I love Earl Grey. Yeah, it's nice. With a tiny splash of milk and some honey. Mm, delicious. I could drink tea all night. The world's your oyster.

I mean, I'm just putting it out there. I don't want to do that, but thank you for offering. I need a new bed. I've got to buy a bed, but we've bought so many beds in our time. Like, I reckon in storage at home, we've got a king size and a queen size. My brother's got our new king size and our sofa bed. There's all things we bought. And now that we've in Auckland, we didn't bring our beds over.

And we've moved into a new house and we need a bed. And it's going to be like $2,000 for a bed. Can I buy a second-hand mattress off-cum treat? No, don't do that. Don't do that. So it's like, what I'm supposed to do? You trade me. Trade me is what I meant to say.

Or Facebook marketplace. No, it's like you spend a third of your life, if you're lucky. This is a spare bed for my in-laws to sleep on two weeks a year. And, you know, Ecosa had a sale and I couldn't commit to it in time. So I missed the sale, 35% off until Sunday night. Even a sale on a bed's expensive. Yeah, it was going to be $1,400 bucks. Beads are deceivingly expensive as well.

Like, for what you get, and I know what you're about to say, Clint, you spend half your life. Yeah, and that is true. If it's your own bed. If it's yours, yeah, I don't think you can invest enough in a great sleep. It just puts you in the best mood for the rest of the day. And when you get in bed, you go, oh my God, I love our bed. Isn't it the best feeling?

When you actually get a good one. Or you go out in holiday. I mean, you actually, you know, always come back from holiday sucks. But you know getting back into your own bed, it's going to be awesome. Mine's got a bit creaky recently. Like it's just. All that. Oh, the old work bench.

By the old work bench legs. Have you got a base or a bed? It's like a slap bed But I think the legs have like shape Like Oh good I'm not bragging mate Or just get a bass

The base The base All the legs are getting all like Loose and stuff From all the shaking And thrusting There's not much of that happening If I'm on this clip

It's mainly tea drinking Steam from the tea Yes I think that's it Is causing the wood fibres to expand If you want to be the first call of the day We've got coffee We'll saw you out with For the rest of the week

Thanks to our show sponsor Zed Just give us a call. Do you don't have to have too much going on in your life? Philip has texted through, sorry. How much do you like the in-laws, worse the bad, lest they stay with you? True. It's true. Clint Megadane.

Lesh goal! First call of the day, if you wanted to be you, 0,800 the edge, and we'll so you out with free coffee, sorry, for your troubles. First call of the day! First call on the day! Oh, yeah, we've seen it before and we'll see it again. People up this early, usually at the gym.

And Claudia. Yeah, I respect it. You're no different. Good morning and Christ. Church. Good morning. What do you do at the gym? Is it leg day, arm day?

Just hop on the elliptical. What are we thinking, Claude's? Cardio. Cardio, get it, girl. Good on you. So good for you. So have you been to the gym already, or are you on your way too? No, I'm currently in the car park of the gym.

Oh, how long do you sit there and think about? I did this yesterday for like 20 minutes before I got out. Well, usually I have to get out of the car straight away. It will take me ages. Yeah, just got to rip the Band-Aid. You know you're going to go, but you're just delaying the inevitable, but I'll just scroll on Insta just a little bit, just in, you know. Yeah, especially because it's raining.

Yeah, fair enough. I really take my hat off to people like you that get up this early. Like, I know it may surprise you. I'm not a morning person just because I do breakfast radio. But man, if I'm not doing my job, I'm in bed till 8 a.m. True, of course. Every day I wake up, I think, how much longer can I keep doing this for? Yeah.

Every day. And then you get paid every second, third, and you go for another year at least. Another $15,000 to my account. Every morning when I drive to work, there's a lady in a crop top at like 5.30 out. Just running. Oh, my God. She's getting up at 5.15 to run. What's your favourite piece of cardio?

Is it the assault bike, the rowing machine, or you're just rocking a treadmill, Steer Master? The Steer Master is usually my favourite, but not for a long time because I can't stay on the average. I don't you feel embarrassed, Claudia, because you're so much higher up than everyone, and you're on the stairmaster? Yeah. Like you just... Yeah, and you're like looking over everyone.

Yes, and it's always awkward. It's awkward for me on the stairmaster. It's awkward for me below the stairmaster, looking up at the person. You never see a man on the stairmaster, eh? You never see a man on the stairmaster, eh? I tried it once, and it gave me quite horrific chafing in between the leaves.

I get amongst it? Chafed. I find I get the most, like, I sweat the most on the steermaster than more than on a rowing machine or a soft bike. Really? Yeah. Rowing machine does it for me.

It's so good for. you though. Yeah, and I just think I'm climbing every time I picture myself like I'm climbing the Sky Tower. You know how they can do the stairs because it'll tell you how many flights of stairs you've done so you can do 50 or 60 flights and then I'm like, cool, I just climbed to the Sky Tower

it'll live me for the day. Cool. Well done, Claudia. You're doing God's work at the gym. You deserve a free coffees. And she's doing God's work at work. She works as a support person for someone who has disabilities. Wow. Amazing. Good on your doll. Thank you. She works two jobs, Ash.

She's doing the disability stuff and she works at New Zealand Post. He's a hustler. Wow. Come on, Claudia. You're going to go far in life. You get on that stairmaster. If you do 51 flights of stairs,

the equivalent of 1,103 individual steps, you will have climbed to the top of the Sky Tower. And I did that once. It's not an easy feat. Bloody difficult. Thanks. Thanks, Claude.

I'll stay home. Good on you, Claudia. Have a great day, babes. Thank you, you too. I really like her. Yeah. Wouldn't you be proud of your daughter if she's like works as a disability worker and she's up every morning to go to the gym?

Yeah. You'd be like, I've done something. Something right there, taking care of her health, helping people. To the jobs, going to the gym. She drives a Toyota Echo. She still lives at home, though. Good on, no. Way, wouldn't you?

Yeah. Yeah, 19. I was at home, so I was like 24 or something. Yeah. Won't you married by 24? No, well, I went from 24 living at home, too married. That's right. And then that's when I moved out.

If I think I'm married, I'd still probably be living here. Yeah. That's the dream, really. Move out of home straight into it. What time did you move out? What age? 26, I think. Longer.

And then I was another 10 years before I even met a girl. I moved to London when I was like 20. And I was in boarding school before that, so I guess, yeah, it's different. No, I think I was actually 25. Similar time to you. Anyone older than 25 before they moved out of mum and dads? Or still living at mum and dads older than 25? Sometimes, though, you move back.

You know, you moved out and some things got right. I think it's fine moving with the parents. Yeah. Yeah. Because you're trying to save money to get a post for a house. or your relationship break up and you've got to go back home just to sort of stuff up.

If my mom had like a five-bedroom house, I'm living with mum. I'm bringing my husband and child in there and we are not paying rent. Amen. She can cook for us. All right, coming up next. Dan's hit the spot attempt

to a Taylor Swift song that he was so proud of he DMs personally to Taylor Swift. He just told us this and we were like, I'm so embarrassed for him that I can hardly look at him We had quite a few conversations Taylor and I

Conversation has to go two ways Oh well then no The Clint Meg and Dan podcast All righty Danny boy We're about to If you missed it Chuck in a bit of a highlight of Dan Attempting to hit the spot

With the Taylor Swift song With all the chat around her album and stuff But we've realised In getting ready To play this for you That Dan's shown his cards a little bit And told us something that I think he now regrets I don't know I'm not to be

honest, I'm not ashamed of what I've done. I can't believe you admitted it. Like, I would never do this in the first place because I'm cool hang. But second of all, if I have... The fact that you see it bad. But I am a cool hang. You're not lying. It's true.

She's cool, man. So the fact that you admitted it and then you scrolled back to show that you'd done it multiple times over the years, it's just like, do you, like... When I say multiple times, I've messaged her, one, two, three... We are talking about Dan dropping into tailslips' DMs. I don't stick out. I messaged you four times. It's four times too many babes.

So the first time was back in 2017, I think, where I said, and I quote, hey, Tay. Oh, fuck. Yeah. Oh, Ash, you can't say that. I didn't mean to. I don't know what you think you can get away with in Australia. Definitely not that. We're moving on.

Apologies, everybody. Trust me, she's a cool hand, guys. Okay. So I said, hey, Tay. so grinned you forget yourself and we were so grinned and I was like surely we can't be live on the radio if you'd be sharing this something

embarrassing. Love the new album and we'd really love to get you on the show to chat about it. Oh, the show is if she already knows what the show is. This is the best bit. We can do it on Skype if you don't want to go across your mobile number. She's like, no no, here's my mobile, just have it random guy.

No reply. It may surprise you. No reply. If she hadn't replied to that, I would have deleted it and like never go on a page again. Oh no, no, no. Because two days later I said this. Hey Taylor, just bumping this.

No. Hope you well. Hit me back. Let us know. Nothing. Okay. Truly shocking. Truly shocking.

You live in this like make-believe world. She's not checking her DM. She does not check her DMs. I didn't know that. She would not have a phone that has. access to the Taylor Swift account. Fast forward to July 6th, 20203. My next message to Taylor Swift.

So you played hard to give for like five years. Yeah. And this was, I think, when I was going to the heiress tour in Melbourne. Megan, I went over. I said, hi, Taylor. So excited to come see you in Melbourne next year.

Hello, the other 180,000 people. I know it's a long shot, but my wife, Hannah, missed out on a ticket and was wondering if you could pull some invisible strings. That's one of her songs. Dan! Dan!

I know! You're an adult who works in the media industry. You cannot be sliding into Taylor's DMs like this. This is the worst, but... How could it possibly get worse than using a pun of her single name to try and get tickets for your wife? She's currently in hospital, and this would make her life. No, she's a hospital.

She's been unwelled for weeks. No, she's a doctor. Mm. She wasn't unwell in hospital She is in hospital because she's a doctor Wait, I thought you meant she's in hospital Because she's having a baby We're lying about her being in hospital

I've heard about her being sick So Taylor would give me some tickets to her show Your, you've got to screw loose, bro And then just yesterday Oh my God This is like I messager and said Thought you'd love to see this Taylor

Hope you'd be proud of me And sent the hit the spot What the hell Hayce you put his put emoji She's in it. I did an orange heart because obviously there's an orange thing. If someone from her team ever saw any of that, you'd be on a band list. Like we would never get an interview because they'd be, oh, no, there's a freak on that team.

That's been like, yeah. Yeah. Okay, well, we've teased you for too long, so now we're going to have to play the recap or hit the spot next that you were so proud of. You'd DM, Taylor Swift herself, hoping she would see it. I'm fully fledged out of. Sorry, I was just going to say, after hearing all that, that F word you said before, I'm letting it slide. Thank you so much. Yeah, like you.

the boss of us. He's the boss of you. He's letting us slow. All right, we'll get to it next. How good was it? Dan wanted Taylor's with herself to see her. And then what were you hoping she'd respond? I'm sharing this on my Instagram. You're amazing. Let's be best friends. Clint Megan Dan. Spinky B. Gossip of entertainment. Clint Megan Dan with Ash London. Scandal. So I'm an Australian. I just moved to El Dero like seven months ago. And even I knew

about this and have known about it for a while. Because if really kind of like the mind boggles. So this Tom Phillips fella who's disappeared into the bush with his three kids and has been effectively on the run like keeping them all as fugitives for three years and eight months, I think. Like coming up to four years

since they've had electricity, take away, I would imagine heating, living in the elements and I just, can you imagine how it would feel to be the mother of those children? Unbelievable. Every second of it. of your day would just be consumed with the fact that you want your kids back.

It doesn't sound like a great time for the dad either if I'm on or something. I know he's making his bed. I mean, you three kids in the bush and are going to be in charge for them for six months a year. I mean, it's a horrible situation and you'd be so concerned for them. But at the same time, you'd hope because he's wanting custody of the kids and he's gone to such extremes that he hopefully is looking after them. And there's been footage of them out. Like I think they did some sort of robbery maybe over a year ago now where there

this footage of them on a bike and he had the kids with him. So I think there has... And what he robbed a shop to get supplies or something. I remember they were on a quad bike and stuff. So maybe it was just one or two of the kids. But there has been footage of them. So we know that they were...

They're okay. Yeah, yeah. But obviously they're missing out on education. They're missing out on lots of stuff. Yeah, their mother. And you said that the speculation is that because it's been so long someone must be helping them.

Well, yeah, that's the speculation because obviously they've been so well hidden in the bush. People are going, well, there must be a way that they've been getting supplies, getting food. So there is speculation that people are helping them somehow, whether that be family, whether that be friends. There's someone placing food in some sort of drop box. And him coming and getting it. And I've just read that he actually, he went to like a private school in Hamilton, like quite an elite school.

And part of that was a six-month outdoor survival like programs. This man has some serious skills. So his sister sat down. Is it Paddy Gower? Yeah, Paddy Gow. Oh, my Patty. has sat down with Patty and delivered a message written by Tom's mum. So she's written a note and the sister's reading it

and the hopes that somehow he's going to see it or someone that's helping him will see it. Tom, I feel really sad that you thought you had to do this, not considering how much we love you and can support you. It hurts every time I see photos of the children and of you and see some of your stuff that is still here

thinking what could have been if you had not gone away Jada, Maverick and Ember I love you so much and really miss being part of your lives every day I wake up and hope that today will be the day

that you will come home Wow, that's pretty powerful, isn't it? I mean, we've just had a message come through. Someone's saying, I know people are helping him. What, Dan? Yeah, but do they mean they know people that are helping him? Or they know people are helping him, just like you said, Dan, people are helping him. Yeah.

The producers are talking to that person off air, so we'll see if, you know, they've got any illuminating information. I don't think there's any, like, concrete evidence that people are. But you kind of look at the situation and you go, how is one person able to it? Yeah, you can't keep drinking your urine for. You know, it's only so long. Just because beer grills did it, Clay, doesn't mean everybody should do it. I'd be like, come on, Dad.

Like, it would take years and years and years of preparation to set up, set everything up in order for you to live for four years. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, you go away for the weekend and that takes you a couple of hours to just stock the car. I wonder as well, the longer you are hiding from police, is that the longer you'll get prosecuted for? You know, because then you're like, well, you know what I mean?

Like, you're like, it's been three, four years. Yeah, what am I going to do now? I'm not going to come out now. I've got to just commit to it. Maybe that's why what's spurring him on. He's going, God, I'm too deep down the rabbit. Yeah, that's what I mean. I just need to stay away.

Clint, Megan Dan, win $10,000 right now with the H-10K. E-C money. Well, thanks to BNZ, whatever you're starting. BNZ has the tools you need to master your money from the get-go. 30 seconds. You'll get given a letter. We'll get given a letter. And if you can do that, we'll give you $10,000 in cash.

Pass if you need to. No, repeat it. She's done the hard part. Alicia joins us on 0-800-of-the-edge. Good morning. Oh, my gosh. Hello. Oh, my gosh.

Here we are. You've got through. Here we are. How much do your nerves change from, like, how you feel when you're making the call, to the feeling of being on air? Do you feel a change in your body? Yeah. I'm just like, holy shit. It's ringing.

Okay. All right, Alicia. Yeah. Your letter today is J. J for? Okay. Ford jinks. Jockey.

That's correct, Alicia. She's already knowing it. Okay, you've got 30 seconds. Can I start with, beginning with Jay, an animal? Jaguar. A car brand. Jeep. Jeep.

Type of footwear. Gendles. Sport. Jockey. A tool. Jogging. Jockey. A type of dog.

Jack Russell. Something you write in. Journal. A male celebrity. Justin Bieber. Three-letter wool. Very good. You and your husband or whoever that was did a good job.

I think the problem was, like, even though the power of two is better, the delay in him saying it to you and you saying it to us is probably the reason you got eight out of eight, but you didn't get the last two questions. If you just answered yourself, I think you would have got there almost. Or giving it to him. Give it to that. I mean. Oh, it's half and half. Yeah, good on you. Either way, a very good combo.

You're meant to be. Not a single pass and you got eight from eight. You just ran out of time. That's sweet. Thanks very much. Good job. Back again at 80 o'clock. All thanks to BNZ.

We'll give you another crack at Easy Money. Your chance to play for 10K. I mean, technically she said a jockey for sport and then changed it. Yeah. Yeah. Had the adjudicators had to intervene, she wouldn't have gotten that. Clint, Megan, Dan. Oh, it's not good to be Dan at the moment.

And I know, Clint, that you've been in the same boat as me, and I'd imagine there'd be a lot of dads listening that maybe are in the same boat as well. So I became a dad a year and a half ago. Congratulations. He's very cute. There, thank you, George. And my mum, my beautiful mum, Jules, love her to bits.

She looks after him quite a bit. In fact, she comes over twice a week at the moment and looks after him while I'm at work, and my wife, Hannah's at work. and she's got to the point where because George is in the room when I get home she refers to me as Daddy.

Yeah. Now Daddy, obviously when it comes from your son or your daughter, fine, cute, gorgeous, innocent, love it. When it comes from your partner. Hello. Love that for you. Love that. 10 out of 10.

Oh, do you? But when I come in the door, at about 1 o'clock on the afternoon after finishing work and I walk through and my mum's sitting there looking after my son and she goes, Daddy's home. No, thank you. That's when it goes to a territory

which I'm not comfortable with. Yeah, it's the generational divide. She doesn't understand that that now means something else. It's fully innocent. In fact, I don't blame her in a way. We could never blame Julie. No, she wouldn't be like Dan's home.

No. But she could just be like Dad's home. Because my son doesn't refer to me as dad. He refers to me as daddy. So she's speak in his language. And also she'd be saying it the way you talk to her kid, which is Daddy's Home. Oh, yes, Daddy's Home. In a way that, like, when you're speaking to a child, gorgeous, cute.

When you're saying to an adult, salacious, mildly sexual. Disgusting. Yes. When you're like a Daddy supporters hotline, there'll be other men I know that are having the exact same thing happened to them where their mother or their mother-in-law is calling them Daddy, and probably has been for some time but it's like how do you dressing and bringing it up

as almost worse than them just calling you daddy for three years especially if you don't have the same relationship like I could, if I was a dude I could tell my mother-in-law that means something sexual now Jenny you're going to need to stop it but she'd be like oh I'm so embarrassed

to have another espresso espresso martini but if you're not like super Thai it becomes a very awkward conversation how would she react if you just told her would she be embarrassed or would she double down

It could go one of two ways And I think it probably would be She'd know she'd go She'd do it more So I want to tread carefully around this situation Is there any dads listening 0,800 there's please call What did you do first of all

If your mum started calling your daddy And is there is there a right at the end of the title for me Is there a right way And a wrong way To address this with your mum When she's calling your daddy? What did you do, Clint? Does your mum still do it?

No, not anymore But I remember she did the daddy thing a while ago. I'm unsure. I guess that sort of trauma stuff sometimes you block out. I can't remember what I did, but it's stop. Maybe it's like when the kids get older. Like, if you ride it out four years

and they become a toddler, then it's just, you become dad all of a sudden. But you're only a year and a half in, so you're not even halfway to your mum stopping. I know that when my father-in-law kept calling me Big Tits McGee, it was awkward, but I just, you know, you just find the time to table it,

and he's very respectful about it once I said, that makes me feel uncomfortable. Do I fight it with her own powers and just go back and go start calling her mummy? Hot Mama. No. Too far. Too far, Tits McGee.

Big Tits McGee, thank you. I get it right. They're not just your average ones. Dan playing mummy, Danny chicken with his mum. Yuck. Dan's mom keeps calling him Daddy. Yeah. And it's an issue I'd imagine that's...

I don't blame her for it because I am Daddy. And when she's looking after my... To George, you are Daddy. Yeah. And she doesn't do it when he's not around. So I'll get home and she's looking after my son. And she goes, look, Daddy's home. And it just, I don't know, it just feels a little bit strange to me.

So get called Daddy by your mum. It is, yeah. Ten years ago it would have been fine. But Daddy's definitely become a thing now. Yeah, the Usher song in the background that he's singing about, Hey Daddy and stuff. His mum's not in this video at all. It's just a lot of hot girls.

Daddy's so weird. Has his scrolls. No toddler, no mum. Martin's text through saying it depends if it's your step-mom, then it's okay. My mum is my full biological mother. Like if you want to make out with her a little bit, it's fine. Yeah. Asif joins us on Oat Under the Edge.

Now this is not your mum, but it's a maid of yours and he's getting called daddy by someone in his life. No, he's saying mate, my daughters. He's saying it's happening to him. Oh. Asif, what's happening? Who's calling you, Daddy? Hey, so, how's it going, guys?

Good, man, good to speak to you. Hey, so when I go to pick up my daughter from the preschool, it's the teachers there, right? They're like, oh, hey, Daddy's here. Oh, yeah, that is. And then, they're like, oh, Daddy, can you make sure you bring this tomorrow? Oh, Daddy, can you do those? Oh, it's really awkward, eh?

That is weird to talk to you as well, and say, instead of your name, say, Daddy. And I get it, they don't know all the parents' names because there's so many kids, but shoes are new. We're not Daddy. Yeah. Do they ever wink when they say it? Oh, no.

Oh, mate. Well, that's it, yes. I just like, yeah, I just like, look down there. There's not a little part of you that kind of likes it? Well, no one in the partners there, also. Yeah, I see. He's walking back to the car. I really hate it when they call me daddy.

It really makes me really uncomfortable. He's the only woman for me. I was going to ask, why do you love picking up the kids? Why are you leaving work early every day? Amanda, good morning. Morning. So you still call your husband daddy around the kids? I do.

It's just a habit from when they were younger, and they're 14 and 10 now, and they absolutely hate it, because I do it at home, but then I've also started doing it in public, and I just can't. Oh, wait, but we're not. Where does it stop? Like when the kids are not around, are you also still doing it? I'm also still doing it, I can't lie. So let's just role play this.

I'm your husband. I've come through the door. Honey, I'm home. What do you say? Hey, Daddy. And when you're being intimate, having Mommy and Daddy time, has there ever been a time where you've used the word daddy then? Yeah, I absolutely have.

Again, it's a habit, but also I reckon he loves it. Yeah. Oh, I think he does. Yeah, he loves it. So this is transcended to when... She knows what he likes. Even when the kids aren't around you using it. So that's different.

Absolutely. Well, good on you, Amanda. Good on you. Yeah, it seems that there is a lot of people that are in the same boat as me. A lot of people that aren't just the mums. What do you mean? Like, it's not just the mums calling them Daddy.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's people from other walks of life. Candy teachers is my favourite. Because that's proper awkward. Yeah. If they're making eye content and saying, Daddy, can you forget to... Don't forget to, you know, put a snack in a bag tomorrow, whatever it is.

If anyone has been called by their, it's been called Daddy by their mom, and they've worked out a way, like a really great way to bring it up, maybe flick that through to us, because I feel like Dan needs to address this on the show. Maybe tomorrow we get your mum on, and we can all listen. Do you have the conversation with your mum? We're definitely going to call you about them, obviously. Let's do it in a private forum.

No. I call, I refer to Simon Barnett as Daddy around the office because, you know, for a long time I've worked on More FM, his same station. and one day it's going to get back to him. And I don't think I can ever meet him now because at some point someone's going to tell him that Ash London calls you daddy. Someone else says I always call my best friend's husband daddy.

Problematic. Oh, I don't know if you're allowed to do that. And he doesn't even have kids. unacceptable. Clint, Megan Dan. Webb Gilbella joins us for the Gen Z quiz once a week. We try to school her up on things that happened outside of her own generation because you guys sometimes get tarnished with a brush

that you don't care about anything that didn't happen when you were alive. Yeah Yeah I didn't care about anything Pre-86 Yeah And you're smart in other ways What other things are you smart at?

I'm smart at Like digital stuff of course Because it's my job Music I would say like you know Yeah you're good on the piano Can you play piano? Yeah

Great Anyway You are a smart girl And you make incredible social videos like every night we're just at home talking about how great you are.

Yeah, Web, W.E.B. Weird girl Bella. Someone said, I thought you guys were always calling her weird girl. Chick's out looking. No, you're not weird. If you are weird, it's in a lovely way. We've got five questions for you, darling.

Most of these are from a time before you existed when you were just a twinkle in your mother's eye. First of all, this is a classic. All of us were having a good old nostalgia first and we heard this. What cereal is this advertising? We know you.

Come and get me! Well, he could be anywhere, Sheriff. Flash him out. Oh, he's getting sound effects too. Might help. Come on. So he's eating the cereal and then all the offenders are up in the hills and they were like, I want that cereal so they come down.

The temptations. They have to fight for it. Cheerios? Cherios. An American cereal. Do you even have Cheerios? No, his Nutri-Grain. No, no.

That's Ironman food is NutraGrain. It's crunchy nut corn flakes. Oh, nah. I never would have gotten that. That's very much in the same era as a Milky Bar kid. Yeah. Yeah, it's the same thing for me. I auditioned to be him once.

Shut up. Yeah, didn't get it. Oh, for one. They're lost. Named a Kiwi sportsman behind this iconic Wheel of Fortune moment. O for autumn. Oval. I'm sorry, no words.

Not yet anyway. This was an iconic moment. Kiwis sports. Oh for awesome. It was like a celebrity round of Wheel of Fortune. This guy was on it. Mr. Vindage even made t-shirts. Oh for awesome.

I've seen that around and I never knew what the joke was. Now I get it. I think Kiwi sportsmen and I just think like Dan Carter. No. We need a day mature. Oh, no. I'm sorry. Okay, zero from two.

No, I'm sorry. What type of animals were pinky and the brain? Jim, what do you want to do tonight? The same thing we do every night. Try to take over the world. Mouse? Yes. No, I knew that one.

I knew that one. Yeah, well done. Okay, one from three. Okay, too. You can still pass. If you get the next two, that is a pass. That will be 60%. Okay.

In the Simpsons, who lives next door to Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie? Near Flanders. Come on. Yes. I love the Simpsons. Come on. Come down. Italy, didly, didly, diddley, diddley, Italy, did they did their best.

Shaddley, Italy, Italy, Italy. Two before your final one. We need you to finish the lyric from this very, very, what do we even call this? It's a cultural phenomenon that has withstood the ages. Still huge now, to be honest. Still huge now. I want to be the very best.

Do I have to finish it? I'll say what it is. Yeah, no, you finish it. I want to be the very best. Play it one more time. And she got it. I want to be the very best. In my team.

Go-hoo! Do you at least know what it's from? Pokemon. Okay. Wow. I'm going to be the very best like no one ever wants. To catch them is my real test. To train them is my cause.

Pokemon. Oh, come out of here. I knew it didn't rhyme. Yeah. It's okay. You've got 45%, which is nearly almost half. 50, 50. Well, she's got two and a half out of five.

Oh, yeah, no half points. That's 50%. Okay, sorry, but I tried. Thanks, her. Hold your head high as you exit that studio. Yeah, I will, as always. When do I ever, and part from when I get zero, that's when I'm sad. No, you can hold your head high with two out of five.

Good on you. Clint, Mick and Dan. At some point I would like to get an expert on the show, maybe we can organise that for later in the week, like an economist or something, to just explain to us why groceries are so expensive. Because I know there would be a reason. I don't know, tariffs, global warming, shipping.

I don't know what it is. I know there has to be a reason. But everyday Kiwis are experiencing this every day when we get to the checkout. And it's like, you do a shop and it's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. And then you get home and you put it away and you're like, where is it all? I was actually saying to my wife, because I see the critic out, and I was like, what?

Babe, what are you buying? Like, for like a number of months. because I don't really like to supermarket and Jay actually enjoys it, my wife so we're like, easy, it's a new job then and only like a few weeks ago she asked if I could pop in and grab some things and it was like, oh my God!

And I had to like go home and apologise because I thought she was just frivolously spending on silly things. I think it's one of the main reasons as well that not only for salaries but people leave in New Zealand because it's so expensive. Which is devastating

and I will often do the shopping on my own and I shouldn't have to feel bad and feel like I have to explain my, not that my husband would ever make me feel bad about my spending, but I'll often have to be like, I'm sorry, like it was like 300 bucks, and he'll be like, wow, I'm like, but I swear the reason I was gone for that long is because I was taking it so serious and just the essentials.

Like we're not getting the fancy chocolate anymore, and, you know, and often I will go to the farmer's market first to get fruit and veg because it's cheaper, and then I'll go to like the bulk Whole Foods place at the end of my street to get like cereals and nuts, and rice and then I'm going to go to the supermarket to get everything I couldn't get at the chair. It's a three-hour affair. It's genuinely like jokes aside, it is a shocking like time to be alive at the moment in New Zealand. I know Christopher Luxon listens to the show

every now and then. If he's listening right now, it needs to get sorted. It's at the point where people can't afford to eat. It's a joke. And if a supermarket exists to feed the people of this country, it needs to be able to do that in a way that is sustainable that people can access. I'm actually wondering if it's just cheaper to buy takeout now because you know normally your mum or your wife would be like, there's food at home that needs to be eaten. But that's gone up. That's gone

up now as well. But I often think when we order Uber-Eat sometimes and it comes I look at the table and I go, this would be more expensive for me to make if I went to the supermarket and bought everything. So you guys sent me a challenge after the show yesterday and that was for a family of four can you go out and buy the ingredients to make

a lasagna? Which is what a delicious meal. Now I got a very basic recipe. And I'm assuming a lot of things about that people would have oil at home, salt, pepper, all your herbs, flour, staples. So I have not included staples in this. And I went to a supermarket last night on my own, recording some audio. People thought I was a weirdo. And here's the first lot of things that I got. First stop, an onion. 30 cents. Garlic. Three dollars fifty. Right, next step, I need some mince cheapest option. $19.50 a kilo. That's 18% fat. I'm going to get a heart attack from that. Most expensive, $35 per kilo.

So, first of all, $3.50 for a garlic. Sorry. It was a Kiwi garlic at least, and I think it's always, if you can afford it, it is always best you buy Kiwi-grown things. $3.50 for a garlic. The thing that shocked me, then $19 the cheapest for mint. Yeah, that's for a kilo, and then that's like the fattiest one, and then, yeah, up to $34.

But it's mint. Like, I reckon 5, 10 years ago you could have got a good eye-fill-steak for that. It's mint. should be the thing that is like if everything else is too expensive you can get some mince and make a spag bowl and you're going to be able to feed your family. Next, I had to get the cheesy stuff.

I'm headed to the dairy section and this is where I think I'm going to get screwed over guys. Thoughts and prayers. Anchor butter, $9.90. Help me, Jesus. Okay, only two cups of grated cheese. The big question now is to grate or not to great. Let's look at the prices. And holy, okay, $7.90 with the cheese.

We're getting up here. You're right, people, shopping about this crazy lady, who's she talking to? Yes, but I think some people were listening to me talking about the prices. Maybe they thought I was talking my partner at home, like, good, help me. Choose the cheese is so expensive.

Like, she's married to Jesus? So I always get the block of cheese because it is cheaper to grade it yourself and it is healthy because there's less like anti-caking agents. But for this particular thing, the grader cheeses on the sale, so I got that. And there are specials and I'll always get the specials.

In the end, after I got home brand everything, I've got the cheapest option of everything to make a lasagna for four people was $59. That's unbelievable. Yeah. Damn. That's with all of the staples at home

and you could get a frozen lasagna pre-made which is probably full of God knows what. And to add insult to injury, I have another piece of audio that my producer NEPIA has given me that we haven't played. Okay, as if the mental gymnastics and the mathematics wasn't enough

to make me have a mental breakdown, someone's crop dusting in front of me and I can't overtake them. I need a gas mask up in this joint. I'm going to reward myself now with a chocky milk. Yeah, boy. Oh, the Pujoy chocolate milk. Was that included in the $59 bucks?

No, I did that separately. Okay, right. So, yeah, look, I just, you know, if you're listening and this is a struggle that you have, we're in a very privileged position in the jobs we have. And all three of us have got two-income households as well. We're very, very privileged, and it's still too expensive. It's too expensive for us. So I know a lot of people out there with lots of kids, with one income, whatever it is,

are really struggling to, like, make ends meet and we're not being lazy, we're not being bad parents. It's just not doable. It's not good enough. The fact you can't afford to buy mints in New Zealand, like $19 is the cheapest mints is shocking. It needs to change. Clint, Meg and Dan.

You sit down on the show you might have missed it. Dan went through the five niche things that women find attractive in guys. Yeah, geeky or nerdy guys that have nerdy passions was number five. Because they're not cheating on you. Yeah. Four was men who wear glasses. Three guys who aren't ashamed to cry.

two guys that have physical scars on their body and the number one thing that niche thing that women find attractive in men is strong hands callous hands absolutely today the other side of the coin what guys find attractive in girls

and I found this one more interesting because obviously this is me and Clint obviously we could prescribe to some of these things what do you guys think especially you Ash would be a niche thing that are guy would find attractive in a girl. Well, guys often say they're like, you know, girls that can be one of the boys. So maybe something like drinks beer or can, like, have a laugh.

There'd be drinks beer is a good one. When you go, what can I get you? And they go, I might just get an IPA or like, or something like that. Oh, you even know. Pilsner. Like, you name the beer. That is a good one, but it's not on the top of the list. Oh, shame.

By the way, 10,000 guys were surveyed in this test. Well, you are a guy, Clint. I would go tattoo sleeve. Not on the list. Do you want to turn off your classical music? I'm not paying that. You press the button. No, he's playing it out of his laptop.

Am I? Oh my God, he's too. Who's that coming from? Don't blame me for your mistakes, buddy. I don't even know where that's coming from. Is it me? I don't know, just one of he's playing, like, classical music. I can't see where that's coming from.

It's coming from somewhere in the studio. You can just, Dan, you can do the music then. Okay, so tattoo sleeves isn't on there? No, not on there. What about dimples? Not on the list. Pink hair or purple hair, coloured hair.

Not on the list. Oh my gosh, what is on this bloody list? So coming at at number five, guys find attractive on a woman, a girl who wears glasses. Now that was on the men's list as well. I need to get my glasses, but that I've lost. I must say, I saw a video of you the other day,

Ash, wearing glasses, and I was like, damn. Thank you. Yeah. There's something about those glasses you wear. Number four A woman So just to clarify You saw your boss's wife And went damn

I just thought you know Those glasses look pretty on her No but he thought Damn He's just trying to make me feel better He probably just thought That's nice But thank you for the compliment

She's a bit down in her life Thank you so much Number four voice A woman who have a good speaking voice What is that good That's subjective Yeah I guess it's if you find a girl's voice

Attractive Like Ash I would say that you again I don't want to God, you are obsessed with me. He is. You have quite a cool voice. Thank you so much.

My wife Hannah, again. Sucks. Her voice sucks. Horrible voice. Outstanding. Oh, right. Greating. Coming in at number three, now this, I prescribe to this one as well.

Girls who wear baseball caps. What? Oh, my God. If I sit, like, if my wife Hannah puts a baseball cap on and she puts it on backwards, oh, so hot. I never would have guessed that. Well, I can't wear a cap, and all my curly head sisters listening will I understand. stand. If we were a cap, it's just

you look like side show ball big as the hell's, come popping out the side. It's so bad. Yeah. Number two, the ability to lead in the bedroom. Okay. We got so specific. It's like a girl who takes charge. Takes charge. He's doing a bit of pushing round.

Flip over. And the number one, according to 10,000 guys survey. I'll do a drum roll for you. Yeah. What guys find attractive in girls, the niche things. No makeup, natural look.

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. Here's the thing, though. Guys say that because they have in their mind this idea of what a natural face looks like. But most guys' idea of a natural face is like half a face of makeup. Yeah. That's what they think that is. Or they think that the girl's wearing no makeup at all

and really she's just really good at doing it. And she's made an effort to make her face look very natural. If they're cop and you fresh out of the shower when you've scrubbed your face dry and your head. is wet in a nut, you know, you're crappy your chum, but they're going to go, huh. Okay. All right.

What if they missed? What'd they miss on the list? Yeah, niche things. Tattoo sleeves, definitely you missed. You are into a tattoo sleeves. What would you do if Jamie peered one day with an arm-tat? I think I'd quit, and then I'd take her overseas for six months. Six months?

Six months. Is. And what are the five niche things guys find attractive in women that, that weren't on the list Dan did read the five but we just wonder what didn't make that list Yeah

I'll recap the five because they are some niche things that were on there and I mean here's the thing it is a very subjective thing like you say Clint I mean there's so many different things

you could do but I mean the five for this one were a woman who wears glasses an attractive voice which is very subjective baseball caps especially backwards

when they wear them can't believe that the ability to lead in the bedroom and number one no makeup and a natural look. Okay. Jess, what do you reckon? Wasn't on the list

that guys find attractive in women? Well, it's not very niche, but my husband just loves it. He loves my butt. So whenever I bend over, he's pretty happy with that. Do you know this... Do you know this...

How good. This week I was in the kitchen and I bent over for the dishwasher and Adrian grabbed my butt and then buddy, my four-year-old, looked at him and then copied him. Oh! Leading by example.

He only thought it was the funniest thing ever. Exactly right, Jess. Yeah. I did hear you've got a great, great bite, Jess. So well done you. Good on you. So all those donkey kicks, babe. Dashway.

Another person's text her is saying, the way someone's girl tilts their head in order to put in an earring, turns me on it every time. So it's when they're like, yeah, put earring in it. Okay, that's very niche. That is very niche. Olivia, morning.

Morning, how are you? Good. All right, what is the thing that? your guy finds attractive that wasn't on the list. Oh, yeah, look, mine's not physical. It's more, you know, we've got three kids and life's busy, and we try and keep a real tidy house. He loves it when I, like, clean the bench and tidy the sink.

And he's like, thanks, you know, another thing done. Specifically, the kitchen bench and sink. Is it a way you're cleaning the tap? I don't know. I think it's just the fact that it's, like, it's done, you know. Oh, I just like it when you're clean. He either likes a clean bench or it's the way that you're cleaning the tap

the movement of the shaft of the tap that he enjoys. I'm not sure. Neither. Hey, if it works, babe, keep doing it. She's just like, I'll just keep doing it. Adrian cleans the kitchen every night, like, spikinspan. So I usually, like, put my e-bed or do some work.

And when I come back into the kitchen around 8 o'clock and the kitchen is just perfectly clean, that's a turn-off. That is something. So I get that. You're just like, oh, they've taken care of it. Imagine that. That's so sexist.

It was the other round. I love when I come into the laundry and my wife's just done all the washing. Do I need to lecture you as to why it's different? Amen, Clint. You can't win as a guy. That's really true. Yeah. And we'll end on this text, which is a great one, a girl that can drive a manual car.

Can you drive a manual ash? I sure can. Hot. Yeah. Thank you so much. Nice. Yeah. Probably drive a manual with a baseball cap on backwards.

And glasses? Yeah. While talking? Oh, my goodness, me. I couldn't cope. You got to take me overseas for six months. Clint, Megan Dan, win $10,000 right now with the Edge 10K. EZ money.

You got the answers in the end, but if you're taking two seconds to think, that's four seconds of silence. You need an almost perfect run, don't you really? Yeah. Good on your book. Thank you for listening. It means a lot to us.

You have a wonderful week, my love. Thank you too. Thanks, Brookeie. All right, back again at 3 o'clock with Ed Jarvo's. Your chance to play for 10K. We have a child behaviour specialist who joined us on the show. Yesterday after the show, Karen Campbell. We had a long-ass chat.

Yeah, we did actually. We were all just trying to like rinse her for free information on how to be better parents and make our kids do what we want. What's she charging us? I hope not, because we really did. I was a freebie, and she's a legend, and I learned a lot from her. So we all kind of had questions. All our kids are different ages.

But I think the two things that we're going to talk about this morning are things that really apply to kids of all ages. And the first thing that I wanted to chat to Karen about was the fact that my boy is nearly four. The meltdowns are happening more and more when he doesn't get what he wants. And my husband looks at me and goes, oh, he's spoiled, he's spoiled, but it feels like it's more than that. So it's this idea of how do we handle the tantrums

and how do we, like, are we allowed to give in and give them what they want sometimes? Because when you do that, it seems to kind of make it worse. Take a listen. What can happen with a young child as soon as they get what they want from an unwanted behaviour, that behaviour is more likely to be repeated. So even giving in once, but unfortunately,

that can start what we call up a learned behaviour pattern and it intensifies over time. So I'm going to give you a scenario. A mum and a child will go to the supermarket and you see those Tinder surprises and it could be a dad by the way and the child says I'd like to have one of those and mum says no we're not going to have one of those today because we're going to go home and have tea

and then the child might start to cry a little bit that sort of thing and the mum goes she has been really good today so maybe I'll just think of that and so she says to the child who's not listening to this by the way they just focused on the Kindle surprise says okay well you'd be good today so just this once The next time they go to the supermarket, that crying will go to that level. Because she's learned, that little girl has learned that actually that worked, that got what I wanted.

So, they go to the supermarket the second time, and the girl has a wee little cry. And then mum goes, no, I'm going to stick to my guns today, and I'm just going to say no. Yeah. So she says, no, we're not going to have one today. What happens? The behaviour goes up. Yeah. The child will start to cry louder, and then mum looks around.

Oh, people are looking at her. How embarrassing. that sort of thing and she goes, all right, just as one last time and boom, there's your behaviour pattern. It's really quite difficult

for parents to know how to get it out of that pattern into a positive one. How do I do it? What are I supposed to do? Is it as quick as it starts? What's the old control delete? Yeah, okay.

So you'll have to book an appointment. Very good, Carrie. Yeah, good, Carrie. Yeah, but there certainly are ways and strategies. And it was nice to hear her tell that story because I think we've all been in that exact situation. The thing that was shocking for me is I realise how much us guys are quite similar to children

and the fact that I have learned behaviour as well and my wife says yes and no to different things. And then you'll, you know... Clint's always throwing tantrums at the supermarket when he doesn't get a chocolate bath. Yeah. And you're so hard in that moment when you look around and you're so embarrassed.

but you really like kids thrive off routine and you're giving once, they remember the one time. The other thing we spoke about was screen time, how much screen time is too much screen time and why, for my son, especially when I turn the screen off, meltdown. Some children appear to be a lot more susceptible

to dysregulation from a screen. And that's what happens. And I get these comments quite often that one child in the family just can't cope with it. Or they're fine when it's on, but then afterwards they're foul. This is the same with my eight-year-old son, so I'm very interested to work out how much is too much

when it comes to screen time, and is there ever a time where it's okay? Well, yeah, there is a time where it's okay, but they have to learn the skill that when you say that you need to come off the screen, that they're able to do that, and if they're able to manage that, then they can get a little bit more screen time the next day or things like that.

Or if they're having difficulty managing that, then you need to take that into consideration. consideration as well about how you can help. And it depends, I guess, on what they're sort of looking at in the screens as well. I mean, you know, obviously there's a range from educational things to things that flick through very, very quickly. Yes. And I think that that's probably the things that is disregulating some children is that quick flicking.

And also the gaming, I think, is problematic. I mean, the game is designed these games, have really designed them in terms of altering brain chemicals and things like dopamine hits and things like that so that some children can actually become quite addicted to them. Wasn't that so, so, bring to hear? And we know it to be true that these games are designed to play with your dopamine and your child's dopamine. We've worked out what's worked at least for our children.

It might not be for everyone, but giving them a warning going, hey guys, in two or three minutes, we're going to turn the game off. So they know it's coming. And then when you go and take it off, the more the time's up, You don't just rip it out of their hands. You sit down there and go, okay, mate, and they hand it to you. And that seems to regulate his behaviour. But he's just not old enough now.

Like, I've had to take the screen away from him because we were using it. Like every parent, when it's just like, I'm tired, I've got things, so I've got to cook dinner. And it was just changing him as a person. And we've now had to say, now he's old enough to know what a weekend is. No screens at all on weekdays. You can watch a movie on the weekend, and he's a new child.

If nothing else, this break's been a great ad for contraception, isn't it really? Yeah. I did write something, though, all this reflecting on being in a hard phase right now with Buddy, really struggling to have a toddler some days and looking at my husband going, how do we do this? I kind of wrote something to kind of get my feelings out and my thoughts out. I'm going to show it with you next. We've been talking, we just spoke to a child behavioural therapist who's amazing, Karen,

about my little boy who I love dearly, of course, and he's the greatest kid. But nearly four years old and definitely going through a time at the moment of kind of, being quite defiant. Like we always saw we had this perfect child and now he probably turned into a three-nager. And there's the tantrums and there's moments where, you know, like, I look at age and we're like, why can't he just be grateful?

Like, are we raising a little brat? Like, why can't he be grateful? So last night we'd put him to bed and had taken so long and he kept getting up and just testing us, testing us. And this idea of him being grateful kept swirling around in my mind. Like I want to raise a grateful child. How do I do that?

And it got me thinking about the broader issue of the fact that he's so little that he doesn't know that his life is actually amazing. And it's actually a beautiful thing that his life is still so innocent. So I wrote something down. It's not really a poem. It's just kind of a thing. And I think it kind of gets my, so every morning I write him a letter when I wake up because I'm up there when he wakes up.

And it's like, good morning, buddy, I love you. You're going to have a great day. Be nice to daddy. I'll pick you up soon. But if I was going to write a letter that was like, this is the letter that I would want to write. if I could be honest and he was old enough to understand. Good morning, buddy. Another day begins.

You'll eat your breakfast, scrambled eggs, a smoothie, maybe even pancakes, and head out the door with a full belly, blissfully unaware of the quiet miracle that is your morning. You'll spend your day at Kindy, painting suns that always shine, building castles in sand that never runs out, running wild with your friends that you think you'll know forever, and you'll believe with your whole heart

that this is what life is like for every child. last night you threw your dinner on the floor I stared at the scattered noodles swallowing tidal waves of rage how could you be so ungrateful later on you refused to go to bed in my desperation I threatened to call Santa we've all been there

but still your tiny feet danced in defiance down the hallway again and again don't you know how many children have never felt the warmth of their own bed of course you don't not yet for now you carry the soft delusion that the world is just and fair.

You believe every home is safe, every parent gentle, every fridge full. You've never known the sound of bombs, the ache of hunger, the silence left behind by loss. In one month, you will turn four. For now, your world is beautifully small. It's sunny days on bikes,

rainy mornings building Lego. FaceTime calls to grandparents at endless hours spent in a cubby house. It's blueberry muffins and fluffies, nuggets and chips, but it won't always be like this. Because one day, you'll be old enough to see the big world out there for yourself. You'll see images that can't be unseen, hear stories that you can't unhear. One day you will truly understand how lucky you are, and it will break your heart. So until then, it is me who must carry the knowing, and with it, the gratitude.

Grateful that you feel safe enough to be wild, that your tantrums bloom in the soil of unconditional love. That your worst night ends in our bed, not on the streets or in a hospital bed. That your belly is full, your fears are small and your days are still lit by innocence. I can be grateful for the chaos, grateful for the mess, grateful that your biggest sorrow is a dinner you didn't like, a small storm in a life full of sun. Because beneath the stubborn nose and bedtime tantrums is something rare and precious, a childhood untouching. touched by pain. And while we live in a world that is anything but perfect, yours for now is wonderfully so. And that is enough to fill me with a lifetime of thanks.

That's beautiful. Great, Ash. That was both beautiful and sad at the same time. Yeah. I hope you save that, and I do hope he gets it. One day, when he gets it, he'll get it. Yeah, and it breaks my heart that one day these kids are going to grow up and realize that so many other kids have it so hard. And that, They won this lottery of life and did nothing and that the world can be, yes, wonderful, but it can be really scary.

And for now we have the gift of our kids not being scared in the world. And that's why you're raising a person that is going to be the future of the world. Oh, I hope so. That will change the world for the world. I hope so. Trying out best, failing every day.

None. Trying. So thank you for letting me share that. Oh, thank you for sharing that. Clint Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. Oh, it's not that easy. a disagreement as to who deserves

to be on the A-list and who doesn't. It should be easy. I think the A-list is thrown around too frivolously. It would be easy if it was just me and Clint doing this, because we seem to just agree on everything. We've usually got logic on our side. The old curveball though, where we go

no, and Dan, what's put, Tom what's his face, the Spider-guy? Holland. Exactly my point. In A-list status. And I was like, he's done like three Spider-Man movies. Give him time. Come on, mate. He might get there. I always think Zendaya is more of an alist. She's not an alist, but she's more of an alist than Tom Holland.

Stop being around the bush, London. Okay, I got three names for you this week, and they all, I want to say, in the rap and music arena. The first, Snoop Dog. A, all day. All day, air day. Smoke every day. He scrapes in.

Scraped. What? Edgar, singer. I think he's a singer. I think even just the name, like you say Snoop dog, everyone knows he you're talking about. He's A, he's A. Okay, we're agreeing on Snoop.

I love it. I'll put him in there. I mean, he's probably one of the most famous rappers and musicians in general of all times. So let's put him in there. Okay. Jamie Foxx with two X's. Bees. A B-lister, he is.

He's a B-lister. He's famous. The B-lister's nothing to be ashamed of. No, he's nothing. But he's not A-list. Jamie Fox is not an A-lister. I don't know the rip. I don't think Dan understands the repertoire of his

work and the history. He doesn't have an Oscar for Ray Charles didn't. He's great. He's a TV film, music, there is nothing more Jamie Fox can do than he hasn't done. He's on gold digger for goodness sakes. Like so many of the epic moments in film, television, music featured in Jamie Fox. He's got one big song, yes. But I'd say his music career is

dwindling at best nowadays. That was a feature. He's not trying to be an artist. He's already He's too busy. He's getting Oscars. Being an A-Lister and do an A-Lister thing. Wasn't he hooking up with Tom Cruise's X? I don't know, Clint, because he's not an A-Lister. Oh, fake.

Help me, Lord. Not many B-Listers hook up with Tom Cruise's X. Okay. He's famous? Yes, he is, but he's not A-List. You guys throw it around too much. It really pisses me off. Clint, don't read the texts that are coming through currently.

We don't want to know. All the Dan fans. Surprise. Surprise. All the Dan, all the text. No. We love Dan. We grew with Dad. They don't need to be a fan of me.

They just need to be a normal person that's fixed straight. Okay, there's contention around Jamie Fox. Okay. There's no way the third he's going to have any contention. And if there is, I quit. I quit this show and you can just be a duo until Meg comes back. Careful what you say, Clint. M and M.

Oh, why are you even thinking about it? What is wrong with you? He's an A. He's an A. He's so an A that, like, he, like, he can have an A tattooed on his forehead. And I'm like, yeah, of course. I only pause because I wanted Dan to serve first because I didn't want it to be influenced by the obvious A that is Eminem.

I would put him in A, possibly. But then you think about what he's done, you think about his music, you think a little bit about this contentious stuff he has rapped about in his time. Oh, no minute. He's still, is he famous? It's irrelevant.

That's irrelevant. It's like, is he a famous person that the world knows, and if they do know him, he's an A-lister. It's not about character. If it wasn't for the sugar-coated candy M&Ms, he wouldn't be as famous as he is. I'm putting him at a B. Eminem's...

So Snoop Dog got an A over Eminem and Jamie Fox. Jamie Fox is definitely a B. No, like no dispute there. I'll allow the disagreement there, right? Between an A and B and Jamie Fox. I get it. I will not allow you to say that Eminem... Eminem is not an A-lister.

He... Ash, you just threw out three easy A's. Yeah. And he's just doing it to, I think... Rock us up. Personally, I'd put him at a bee. Okay. He's a good rap.

You're rolling me up. So Snoop Dog is out. We're not, no one, there's no disagreement on the team, but Jamie Fox and somehow Eminem are up for discussion of whether they will officially make the A list that we've curated over the last few months. Yeah. He hasn't had a good hit in about 10 years. He was, he had a cameo and Happy Gilmore 2.

Happy Gilmore 2. There we go. The shit is movie of all time. He'd be back, baby. Okay, the A-List or list, we agreed on Snoop Dog, he is in, but there is discussion around Jamie Fox. Would you call it a discussion, Clinton? Would you call it in all-out arguments? Yeah.

Yeah, Eminem and Jamie Fox are up for debate. There's a lot of angry people on the text machine, especially over the Eminem situation. I put him at a, and I will say this, a strong bee. Karen is very upset. Yeah, morning, Karen. Good morning Now you're both angry and a little bit agreeing with me as well

So you agree with the Jamie Foxer to be Absolutely like But we all know who Jamie Fox is But really like yeah Not A list And I think that there's a little bit of I guess Misunderstanding about the B list

It's not a bad place to be But it's just not the Aist Yeah I'm trying I'd be happy to be on the B Yeah, but Karen, I think we're forgetting, like he did TV, he's done film, he was a comedian, he's done music, he's done, Academy Award, Grammy Award, Golden Globe Award. And Karen said it said, well, you all know who he is. Therein, isn't that what an A-lister is?

The definition. I'd say there'd be a lot of people in the world that don't. Dan was saying that Eminem hasn't done a lot in a while, but would you say Michael Jordan is on the A-list? I would say Michael Jordan is firm A-lister. Yes, and he has not played basketball, Dan, in a very long time. But he's still A, so sometimes you can... Drop the mic, drop the mic. You can get A-less status and then live your life outside of the public eye

and remain on the A-Lis. The thing that Michael Jordan has over M&M is he's the greatest of all time. The dispute about M&M is that he's not the greatest of all time. There's been many other rappers that are better than him. Yeah, but art is subjective and sporting achievement is like mathematical, like statistics, you know what I mean? I can be swayed to put Eminem in a day. Okay.

I think he maybe deserves to be there just on fame alone. I disagree. Okay. But I will stand firm on Fox. Here's a B. Okay. I think that's pretty fair to say Jamie Fox can stay to B and Eminem can go to an A

if he's willing to move on this. I need to, no, I don't want to do it. I don't want to split the difference. Fair enough. Sarah. Hi. What do you think about Eminem being put on a B list by Dan? No, there's no way.

Eminem is like 100% an A. I remember even on Facebook last night there was that photo of just his hairline and everyone knows who it is. Like, how can you say that to be? Yeah, he's almost the captain of the A. Like, he'd be in the running if the coach was trying to choose a captain of the A list.

They'd be like Eminem, yeah. I genuinely don't think there's anyone who wouldn't know who Eminem is. Yeah, like Kate, if I said to you, this Vaminarati sweater already, what would you say? Mom's spaghetti. Thank you.

Yeah, and that's his most famous song. Okay, Renee, what do you think? You team Dan or not on the A-Lister list this morning? Absolutely not. I think Dan's muffins at work from the vending machine definitely need be changed because they had something in them this morning. They've been putting a little bit too much negativity into those muffins

and I've been lapping it up. Eminem is like the A-list. He's an A-plus list. Okay. Wasn't he where I'd put him to be saying? Okay, so it feels like Eminem is slowly moving up to the A and Dan realizes it's getting away on him. He knows.

No, I think he realizes he's wrong. I, no, I think I'm, look, I will still put him at a B list. Wait, it's okay, okay, my love. It's okay to admit you were wrong and change your mind. I'm going to say three names. It takes a big person to do that. 50 cent. Eminem is more famous than 50 cents.

Disagree with you. What is wrong with you? Working music radio. And I don't like Eminem. It's not about whether you'd like him or not. Oh, my God. I would even say the Eminem in 2025 more famous than two-party. I'd say he's famous because of Dido being on the song Stand with him and Rihanna doing a couple of hits with him.

We're done. He needs to think Dido. You know, you have made such a poor argument. We are punishing you by putting Jamie Fox at A as well. No. I hope you can't do that. They're all A this week. Snoop Dog, Jamie Fox, and M&M, all on the A list.

We were so close to a negotiation. We are walking away from the good negotiating table. Sorry, we cannot make a deal with you, Dan. Clint, Megan, Dan. Scandal. A scandal. Quite a scandal. Scandal. With Ash London.

I love celebrities who are friends, like in their own right. Oh, yeah. And then they become friends. It's like I want to be in a three-way with you guys, you know, like a three-way friendship. No, I don't want to be part of their friendship because I just like. like that they're a little twosome. Like, what would the best example be, do you think? I love Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.

Exactly. Great example. Kevin Hart and Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Yes, live for it, love it. My favourite, Courtney Cox, Jennifer Inestine. Are they best friends? They're like best friends. They're like best. Yeah, they're always like posting, like going on holidays together,

living their lives. Because I just love the idea they met on the show all those years ago, played best friends and then stayed friends. Like, oh, to be a fly on the wall when they're just hanging out. an interview with Courtney Cox a while ago and it said that by the end, like the last few seasons of friends, she wasn't even acting because the friendship was

so real between the cast that she didn't even need to really act. That makes perfect sense. She was Monica. Well, a lot of these are famous people, the likes of Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston, are launching kind of, I don't want to call it a side hustle because a side hustle is, it sounds a bit povo compared to what these like A-listers are doing.

So people like Selena Gomez, has got Rare Beauty, Hillary Bieber, what's I'm not Hillary Beber. I was getting confused in Hillary Baldwin. Because she's, her real name is Haley Baldwin and her uncle's married to Hillary. Anyway.

And her auntie's Hillary Bieber. Hillary Bieber. She had road cosmetics which she sold for a cheeky billion. Rianna's got Fenty. So a lot of these... Carly Jenna became a billionaire off the back of Kylie Cosmetics. So, three billionaire. So obviously if you're Jennifer, Ranez or Courtney Cox,

you're going to look at this and go, hey, there's money to be made because they don't have enough of it. Have they missed the boat, though? like because they've obviously they were super famous off the back of friends. It feels like when they were younger and they were like style icons even if they changed their hair women would go and get the same haircut.

But I just don't know if there's the same sort of influence with Jennifer Anderson and Courtney Cox as there is with a Kylie Jenna. Like imagine if at the apex of the Rachel haircut if she'd launched a hair camera. Yeah, right? She missed the boat there.

She missed it. Anyway, she's hopped on the boat now. Both of them have. They put it in a co-lab post up on Instagram. Like, how do they, like, who decides that? Like, hey, babe, do you want to put a post on Instagram and we'll co-lab on it? Courtney decides, because Jennifer probably doesn't need the co-lab as much, I wouldn't have thought. Do you think the more people would buy Jennifer Anister's wellness brand

than Courtney Cox's wellness brand? 100%. Courtney Cox does look like she's had a lot more work done than Jen. You said it on me, babe, you said it on me. So they put a post up and it says, and it's them together, their faces swudged together like besties, and it says, we look so cute together. and then you swipe across

and these guys do too and you swipe across and it's their wellness brands in a shower next to each other so Courtney has home court court that sounds like a budget brand home court

like home brand that's like at the bottom of the shelf like if you need a cheap moisturiser I'm going for home court it's got like mould on the bottom of because it's been standing in the corner every bottom shelf 799 for a tub

and then Jennifer Anderson has Lola V Yeah, I'm going on to me. Better name. Home court. No. Yeah. Yeah, so I didn't know, but look, you can buy it all online.

It's low V, L-O-V-I-E. I said, Lowell of it, or whatever, it's one of them. But more power to them. And they're doing the exact same product. That feels like, oh, like you're stepping on toes because someone must have started first, and then the other one's going, oh, I'm doing the same thing as you.

So that's maybe why they've co-labbed, so they're not competing against each other. Must be hard coming up with a brand name for like especially a skin care. Yeah, true that. If you, if Ash, if you were going to bring out a skincare brand and you were head, they were like, we need to call it something eye-catching in the supermarket. What are you calling it?

I'd call it no rash. No rash. What about yours? Webbylicious. Sounds like it's like a 201 shampoo for kids. Webbylicious. No rash. Guaranteed, no rash.

Oh, good luck to him. So home call, I've just, like, really, I've just stilled, I've just got the, home call, which is Courtney Cox's, is body and home care, and LolaVee's hair care. So it's the same, they're wellness brands, but they're not doing the same products. Okay. Body and home care, that's covering a lot of bases.

You could do candles, moisturizers. And can you imagine how much her candles are costing? And, you know, rich white women in America, like, I'll buy three. We've got our throwback threesome coming up in three minutes, just after the break, including, B-lister, according to Dan. Eminem. He's in the mix.

This is his biggest one. Corny Cox is selling hand wash for 70 US dollars. She's dreaming. She's dreaming. Holy shit. You made it the whole way through. If you want more,
