Episode Date: April 19, 2026

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Monday with 50K Fuellette, giving callers $100 fuel and spinning the wheel for a shot at $5,000 and potentially $50,000, with near-misses landing close to Mitsubishi and then on Tesla. They choose Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” for the 6AM throwback, discuss libraries, markets, and Bay of Plenty overtaking Auckland in per-capita cocaine use. Dan’s Diary reveals teenage antics involving fireworks and “mince envelope.” Meg vents about Guy delaying windscreen wipers and shares a list of pet peeves, while listeners add theirs.

This is a podcast from Rover. Breakfast brings the last with Clint Meag and Dan. Good morning. It's being on 6 o'clock. Monday. Happy Monday. Good morning. Last full week before we enjoy a long weekend and another short week next week. Monday off, so long weekend coming up. Yep.

Oh, so the countdown's on five days, guys. Come on. Yep, five days. And we're already here. We're already up. You know, you've already got out of bed. You've done the things. It's already done. Four more early mornings. Yeah, man. Today Meg's going to try and give away more fuel with fuel let. I am indeed, Dan. I'm feeling good about this week.

How your fingers feel are, because those are some lucky fingers that are spinning that wheel. You need some luck. Well, it's a one in 16 chance, right? We spent it 10 times last week with no success. So odds suggest we should hit it by Thursday at the latest. So every day that it goes by, it means it's more likely to happen. Yep, one in 16.

And we don't make you jump through herbs from this one. That's why I like it. doing this as well because it's just like call up and it's chance. And you win 100 bucks straight away that's yours so you will win money. Yep. So we'll do that at 7 and at 8 if you missed the show last week and you're like, wait, what's going on? Also later on this morning's fair, now Swedish reporter was at Coachella

and I've heard he's at a run in with a huge celebrity. Oh, that's exciting. Wow, you do get the end of gossip, which is funny because you never talk to him. No, I just heard from his people contact with my people. Why would they contact your people? Well, my people are Carlin, the producers. Yeah, yeah. They're your people as well, to be fair. Yeah, yeah.

Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, my gosh. About to jump into our 6am throwback. We started finding some great options, and then I saw what the playlist had, and I was like, oh, I don't want to beat the playlist this morning. Jesse McCartney, yeah. Still doing stuff, still doing your music.

He does, if you follow him on social media, he's actually quite funny on there. He does a few little reels and stuff. Yeah. He makes fun of himself. Okay, so, Dan, I have an option each Meg for 6am throwback. Mine is questionable.

I'm going to try and argue it so that you could. But it's a great option. It might be bending the rules of the 6am throwback though. Do you want to go first or second down? You go first. You'll play your shirt of first. Okay. This is an old song, so like a throwback because it's old,

but it's being redone by Jellyroll and MGK who performed on Saturday night at Spark Arena. You're going, Saday, doesn't take himself too seriously. Meggi would have loved it. He brought a little girl up on stage and he held her hand and he danced with her and he told her not to repeat a lot of the naughty words that he sings in his song. Good man. He's there. He's a girl dad.

Of course I like him. He was awesome. Great fashion. Like just, even my wife, she was like, I love this guy. He's a very likable guy now. That's interesting because he wasn't really before he had his like change in career, right? He was very unlikable. Yeah.

I did say he's looking a little sad though. Instagram. Is he? Yeah. He's not with Megan Fox anymore. Yeah, it looked like he posted a video while he was possibly in Auckland. He's got his AirPods in.

It's on mute, but it looks like he's having a phone conversation with somebody. And he says, it's played a sad song in the background and he says like that he's lost or something. Yeah. Did he post that himself?

Yeah, it's on the story. Attention seeking. My option is a man that sadly passed away in 2018. On this day, Avicci, we lost a Vichy. Oh, no. One of the most talented DJs ever. How many years did you say? Or it was 2018.

So seven years ago? No, not eight years ago. Yep. Okay. Wow, eight years? I mean, he had this song. So many bags, though. This is the band.

And levels? Yeah. Another big one. I've made my decision. Have you ever seen this documentary as well? There's a documentary about him and his passing and stuff. It was very, very sad. But obviously quite a troubled guy.

Hated touring and all that sort of stuff. Good decision, Meg. No, no, no. It's Wake Me Up, A Beach. Very clearly. Yeah, I love that song. Yeah. Okay, fine.

That was my song in Queens. I'll listen to MGK in my own time. You're welcome. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. A Beachy, Wake Me Up. Passed away on this day eight years ago. So we thought fitting to play one of his ones for a 6am throwback. So unfortunately, machine gun, Kelly and Jellyroll missed out.

RIP. Yeah. But still in the country were flying out today maybe because Meg said MGK was posting some stuff over the weekend played at Sparkarino on Saturday.

Just yesterday. Hope he's okay. Yeah. Yeah. What did you guys get up to over the weekend? I just, I did a lot of like life family stuff.

I went to the library and had to like, you know, face the music that I had so many library fines. Oh, they're still fine people. God, you've got such library fine energy.

I do. I do. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. growth, you clearly have a toddler. Is it? Yes, I do.

One of my books is lost now, $12.74, that I have to pay for it. But I thought it was quite cheap, actually. Yeah, you're right. You know, when you think about it, if I bought it, it would have been more expensive than that. So I've sent them all back, yeah. Permission to ruffle some feathers. Okay. I said this to my wife, Hannah, the other day.

We're just continuing on from what you said about libraries. Why are they still a thing? Shut up. Libraries are the best. Don't you think they're so nice? I walked into one, like, because my wife and kids have just got, library cards, honestly, like in the last few months. And I walked down, I was like, it felt like walking into a United Video.

I was like, how much longer is this place going to be a thing? You're joking. You guys are both joking. No, you think that the Kindle would have killed the library, that's all. Yeah, but not everyone can afford a Kindle. Do you think it's amazing anybody can go in and thousands of books are for free? Information is for free? The idea of it is cool. Like it is genuinely, like I kind of

wish there was video shops still. But then I haven't been into a library, apart from going to get my son a book. Yeah, but you don't read. for years. Yeah, but you don't read. You don't know how to read. I do know how to read.

I just don't do it. Yes, but that would be why you don't walk into a library. But don't you think it's amazing? There's like, of all the things that you have to pay for in the world, books are free. It was the only place that I've been into that I can remember where I've had that nostalgia feeling where I was like, oh my God, like it feels like I'm in my childhood, like the Dewey Decimal system and scanning the spine of books. All of that stuff and the ladies going around, she's putting.

books back in the place. I felt like I was on high school again, but I was just like, how much longer is this place going to be around for? Well, I think it's government funded, isn't it? The government's like books are free. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because like I do take my son there. Yeah. Because it's kids books, you know, fine. But apart from that, I don't think I'd ever, even if I wasn't to reading, I'd get, I don't think you'd love to. When I went in there, my kids were sitting down, they said, oh, sorry, like, we're about to have a bit of a meeting here. So if you guys could sit over in the beanbags or something, I was like, yeah, sure, sit down. and all these old people came in

and they all had ukulele classes. Oh, ukulele. So they were like 15, 16 of these old people all playing ukulele together. There's a lot of community classes now at libraries. I was like, what the heck is going on? I checked the day. It was still 2026. Some very flash libraries around as well.

I remember we had a meeting once a first aid course, Meg, in a library. And that was awesome. It was the first time I'd set foot in a library in years, Clint. And I remember thinking, Jesus, this is flash. Yeah, my library is quite new. Flash. That's one.

they're going to charge me 12 bucks in you now. Bring her a book there. Yeah, no, oh God, I think it would be so sad. The two things I think that I would actually cry about if libraries close down, which will never happen, and movie theaters.

If they ever go, you know, a movie, because you're like, well, then why can't you just watch a movie at home? Because movies used to be, you had a tight little screen at home and a big screen at the theatre. And why would you want to go and share an experience with strangers who were, like, eating food next to you and stuff? But for some reason, we still do it.

There's something cool about going on the movie. movies though. There is a. It's an event, you know, like it feels fun still. One more thing I did on the weekend I went to a market and I got sold. I got, you know how they paid the sales, there's some real good salesmen at markets and there was a man that was selling, now get this, it sounds a little bit yuck at first, but it's revolutionary. A curry dip. Okay. So it's like a chicken cormer. And it looks like curry paste kind of, but it's made to dip crackers and chips in. And I tell you what, genuinely change the game. I brought two jars both.

$17. So I spent $30-something $1.70 for a dip. And you can use it as a curry paste as well. Okay, so what he's done, it's a curry paste, and he's just said, you could say this is a dip. That's what Hannah said. It's literally what it is.

You could also use it as a paste, because it is a paste. I have a $34 on condomers. You're unrelatable. It must be nice in the wemmy house. No, because Hannah said, she was like, how much was that? I said it was $17 each, and she was livid. She couldn't have been. I don't think she's been more disappointed with me in her life,

but then she had a bit of dip on a cracker. And that's on marketing. That's on marketing. Because they're like, this paste could be a dip. I love that. The man that sold it to me, he should work for some, like, Ferrari or something. He was great. Clint Megan Dan.

Let's go! Clint McGillardand-Dans scandal. Cojella is dumb with Justin Bieber getting Billy Eilish on stage for what will probably be his final one less lonely girl. I'm going to push her first I say what's the word If you let me decide You look like that She was shocked when she went on stage

And if you wonder why that's a big deal It's because Billy Elish has been a number one Justin Bieber fan Since she was a kid So many Justin Bieber things I was like crying so hard Because I'm worried that when I get a boyfriend I won't want to be with him

Because I actually love Justin Bieber more That clips dated 2012 I know. She's such a baby. That makes me feel old. And Sabrina Carpenter got on Madonna and Terry Cruz for her set. Take them away downtown. Walking fast. Love Terry. Thank you fast. What I'm holding about.

Staring blankly ahead. Make him away. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen reunited at CinemaCon for Toy Story 5 in theaters June 5th. We love playing buzz and woody. And we can't believe how like we are to be able to continue telling these stories. They keep people moving to infinity and beyond. You see how they did it? They can catch that.

They got you in. You worked that in. Come on, Woody. Come on, because you think you are a toy. 94-2. The Edge. Clint Migg and Dan. They also on stage, I saw that clip,

they threw back to Toy Story 1, and when they were first on it, and they made jokes about they look like their grandkids, because they're honest to God, the amount of time between Toy Story 1 and 5. Crazy out the gate when you see Tom Hanks and the other guy then. Yeah, Tim Allen. Tim Allen.

I will say Tom Hanks is aged better than Tim. Tom Hanks still looks okay, whereas Tim Allen is he looks old. And that's not being a racist. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, true. Do you also think as well, when I see Tom Hanks and Ellen, the other guy, Tim Allen, Tim Allen, I think they should be the opposite characters? Me too, I always think.

I always think wrong. I always think Tom Hanks is, um. Woody. God. Are you okay? Buzz Lightyer. Jesus. I always, always. If you put me in a quiz, I'd get the question.

100%. I'd be doing the same thing. And then I'm like, oh, wait. Why is that? Tim Allen is Buzz Lightyer. Yeah, it just doesn't... Anyway. Got his name right for once. Well done.

It's still early. Oh no, we can only use that excuse still 630. And it's 633 now. No. No. It's Clint Megan. What's his name again? Dahl? Dan.

Yeah. The Clint Megan Dan podcast. It's time to get naughty at 640. All right, not sexual naughty, illegal naughty. Oh, that's my favourite type of naughty. Oh, is it? Yeah.

It's not mine. Oh, is it? No. You wouldn't say that on publicly on radio, though, but we know. No, no. I think if we're talking about being naughty, sexual naughty is probably my favourite over drugs. Oh, okay. Oh, I wasn't meaning drugs.

I was meeting like stealing and stuff. But that's all right. Just anything illegal? Yeah. Speeding. Yeah. Oh, not speeding. Oh, really?

No, that's not good. We don't like speeding. No, no, no. Nothing funny about road safety. Strange coming from a guy who's a Formula One fan. Yeah, with your key sportage, this must be hardened to see them. There's nothing sporty about a sportage, by the way. No, there is.

Genuinely, there's nothing sporty about a sportage. Although they are very comfortable. Yeah. They're a great family vehicle. Move on, please. I'm trying, buddy. Ogluen has held the record for something for the last two or three years, and they lost it in 2026.

The highest uses of cocaine in New Zealand per capita is no longer Auckland. Really? Yeah. You'd think it would be with all the lawyers. Yeah, the fancy drug, yeah. It's the fancy drug. Yeah. Bayer Plenty.

No, we don't clap for them, produce Enipia. They have plenty. Because they're like tot on her own stuff. Is it Bay of plenty? Yeah, yeah. There's plenty of places in the Bay of money. Yeah, they said they've hit a record high for the drugs consumption. After they do, like, wastewater tests.

So I guess it comes out in your Eurozone. and stuff, they do a water test. I'd like to know when they're doing these water tests, because I'd imagine that there'd be a lot of... Speaking of me, a lot of Aucklanders visiting the tootonga region, you know, over New Year's, you know, holiday season. You think Auckland is visiting is going to throw the scale out of whack from just Auckland as being in Auckland?

No, I'm just meaning they're going down there and taking all their bloody stuff down there. All that bloody stuff, yeah, yeah, you know. Well, the white-collar drug, yeah, they reckon, is just everywhere in the Bay of Menti at the moment. Isn't that interesting? Yeah? Everyone thinking of someone they know that lives in Toronto right now,

going, oh, what are the chances? I remember going to a, on my graduation from radio school. Yeah. I remember I went to, my mum took me out to a lovely restaurant. Oh, yes, this going? She pulled out of a little baggie. I didn't partake, but I remember I went into it, it was like a really fancy restaurant.

I don't think it exists anymore, but you'll probably find out why soon. I went into the bathroom and there was a man doing. some sort of illicit drugs in the bathroom. Just right in front of everyone. Did you go out in the blue? Just doing it. And I remember turning around and being like,

oh my God, and like walked straight out. You told you, mum? That's the first time I met Clint. Oh, I'm still like, whatever. Did you tell your mum? I was like, Clint Randall from the radio. She was like, go and ask him for a job. Allegedly.

And that's how I'm here. Yeah, so, uh, Bay of Plenty. Shame on you, taking out the number one spot for the highest use of cocaine in the country per capita. Nauty, naughty, naughty. Nauty you. Your chance to win $50,000 worth of fuel coming up just by having the right maker car, I guess, when we spin the wheel. We've been quite behind the scenes with the fact that our phones have been down. But we've just been told, Bridges to Cal thumbs up, the phones are good.

We've got phones again. Great. Good to know. That would have been an absolute. Yeah, you can't spin a wheel with a listener or a caller. if you don't have phones. Absolutely. Clint, Megan Dan.

StinkyB. Sit back and relax while we dive into Dan's diary. I've been talking about this again because Dan's mum's moving house and she thinks if there is ever an opportunity for us to find another Dan's diary, it might be in the next week and a half before she moves house and sort of declutters and bins all the junk from her life. Yeah, so there's a lot of stuff in her basement that she needs to sort through, boxes and bits and pieces, and that's where another dance diary might be.

which is a diary from Dan's childhood that we read through. Well, there's boxes of like schoolbooks and all that stuff. So the chances of hopefully having something there would be... Okay, so in my defence for what's about to happen, there's a lot of stuff in your mum's basement. Well, I would...

Yeah, do we call it a basement? I don't know. Yeah, storage, attic. I don't know. It's up or down. It's up, so... No, it's not a basement, is it at all? Oh, that's definitely an attic.

Well, that's really misleading because... I mean, full disclosure, I pretended it on Friday that I went... to Dan's mum's house and went searching through her basement. Shocking. I never actually went. I just recorded this in my car and made it sound like I was in Dan's mum's basement.

No one's listening to this going, oh, but was he there or not? It's hard to tell. I mean, with the sound effects in that, it sort of does paint quite a realistic picture. Right. If you missed it. It looks like it's been a while since anyone's been in here. It's doors of it. Stiff.

Maybe if I... Dust the idea. Way bigger in here than I thought. Hello! Oh, that's a shame. There's graffiti on the walls. Dan was here, 1988. Huh.

That's weird. I haven't even been in here that long, but it's starting to be really damp in here. Oh my god, they're in the boxes! Wow, there's so much stuff in here. If I'm careful, I might be able to move that. that and balance my way. Oh no. I've just destroyed Dan's mum's basement.

Clint, what are you doing in here again? Get out of here now. The last of the second listen, realize you made her say it again. Yeah, I know, and that's a poor mum. She would have recorded that, going, not knowing what it was, just an innocent thing. I just asked her, hey, could you just record yourself saying these two

lines. Again, full disclosure for anyone that thought that was real. And she came back, to my delight and surprise, just an audio recording, I had play and it said exactly what I asked. And she said, how's that? And I said, perfect. Didn't have to lie to her, didn't have to tell her what it was for. It's interesting, because I haven't really heard

from my mum since then. Well, I have. Brilliant. I have. She messaged me on the day that played out, so she obviously heard it on Friday. And we've been messaging back and forth since, how is my relationship now with Dan's mum? Much, much worse or much, much better. We're just talking about the, I guess, audio parody

but I put together on Friday about me going and visiting Dan's mum's basement. And then I made a few jokes, you know, that it was quite big and it got damp and whatever. I don't know, it's childish stuff, really. Yeah, yeah. What was your idea? If it wasn't you, but it was you, all of this. Yeah. I mean, but new week, new me.

And I look back and I go, you know, this week, Clint wouldn't do that. Last week, Clint, I don't know. Okay. I do prefer this week's Clint. I've matured. Anyway, I did make some jokes about your mum's basement and stuff, and I was hoping she wouldn't hear it. Turns out she was listening Friday.

And she messaged to me, and I was like, oh God, are we still friends? Now, does she know that you're reading out her messages now? Because this is sort of doubling down on... No. She's like she's privately messaging you, and now you're going to read them out on national radio. She'll soon learn that anything that happens with Clint goes on Yeah, yeah.

Well, I mean, she didn't say, hey, and that's just for you and me. Okay, well, that would concern me if she'd say that. Because if she does say that, or if she says not for radio, then I go, okay, cool. But she messaged me after that played, actually, on the Friday and said, Clint, you are dead to me. Oh, no. And then there were, one, two, three, four exclamation marks. Right. And so I...

You would have done a cheeky little flirt back, I'm guessing. Oh. And they got her one way he knows. Well, I mean, this week, Clint probably wouldn't. But, yeah, last week. Clinton said, God, we're funny together, aren't we? Oh, of course he did. And then she would have been like, oh.

Yeah. So then she came back and she said, we're hilarious, laughing, crying emoji. I knew when I sent it to you, it was going to be about my basement. Oh, so she knew. That's why I didn't ask. You know what, you two are as bad as one another, to be honest. I'm disappointed to both of you.

I came back and I said, God, you're good. Oh, my God, could you genuinely stop flirting with my mum? And then... For two seconds. She came back. Flattery will get you everywhere, Clinton. Oh! I think you was going to say nowhere, but no, she's...

Just not in my basement. Oh, God. Sweet of God. Just not in my basement, laughing, crying emoji. And I went back, oh. Okay, you're done. And to be fair, she's as bad as he is. She's not innocent of this.

She's leading to witness. She's talking about her basement to Clint, knowing what it means. Dan. You've got the car? We've got the cash. Fuel prices got you down? Clint Meg and Dan have the perfect pickup. It's time to spin the wheel.

This is 50K fuel let. Yeah, it is get on here and win an instant 100 bucks are worth of fuel. Then we'll spin the wheel. And if it lands on your car, $5,000, and then it gets interesting. We'll let you know how you can upgrade your price to $50,000. Hello, my darling, Chloe. How are you? Hello, amazing.

Now I'm on that. Thank you. How are you doing? We're good. Yeah, yeah, did you have a nice weekend? I did, it was amazing. A little bit hectic weather-wise over in Hamilton. Oh, yeah, yeah, actually, I love the North Island, got thunderstorms.

Wellington, I think, taken the biggest brunt. Yeah, I got, my family group chat was going crazy with the, like, the flood videos and footage. Oh, my God, yeah. I've seen all this weather lately, eh? This normally happens around now because the El-Nina, El-L-Nino. Oh, Tim, I got it wrong. Would it sound like a weather person there. God, you start to sound like a weather person there.

Okay, Chloe, watch your car. So I'm driving a Holden Commodore Oh, gas guzzler Okay Yeah Yeah exactly Dan has replaced the Holden wedge With a $5,000 wedge

That is the one we're hoping spins up If you do want to watch Unfold live you can every morning Just by texting fuel to 3343 To get the live string link Okay Chloe Who would you like to spin the wheel for you this morning Okay

I would like Mag to spin the wheel for me Here she goes Okay she's coming around So it's a one in 16 chance of winning $5,000. Here she goes, I reckon to spin away Meg when you're ready. There we go. I'm on the edge of my feet.

How much does it cost to fill up your holding Commodore at the moment, by the way? Oh, God, like $180. $180? My goodness me. Yeah, it hasn't been full in a while. Well, you've got $100. That's in the bank. Let's see how we go.

$5,000 up for great. Okay, here we go. It's slowing down. It's at the top. Oh God, is they gonna make it back around. It's at the bottom. It's not a bad spin, four to go, three to go, two to go, one to go. Five thousand.

Oh, no, it's just missed it. If you had a Mitsubishi, if you had a Mitsubishi, Chloe, you would have been $5,000 richer. That's the closest. Okay, it is the closest. We're two wedges away from $5,000. Oh my God, I'm so sorry, Chloe, but that was so close. Yeah.

Damn it. But if you do drive a Mitsubishi this morning, call after 8 o'clock. We'll do it again. Well, you should have called it seven. You should have called just then if you had a Mitzie. Yeah. Damn.

Bagger. All right, next on the show, I've never met a bad flatmate named what. If you've got a flatmate where you're like, oh my God, I had a flatmate one time named this. They were just the most incredible person. We're looking for three names of just, if you've ever had a flatmate with the name, say Sarah. I'm going to veto Jeremy right now. I have had two Jeremy's, one of them, fantastic, one of the bad. Okay, so he's just ruined it for all Jeremy.

I'm sorry, I thought it was a good Jeremy because... Yeah, we will give you a chance to Vito, but we're just looking. We're looking for three names where you just go, oh my God, never met a bad flatmate named. Clint, Megan Dan. We've played this in the past where we've looked for different names. And what your name says about you, I've never met a cheetah or a bad boyfriend named. I've never met a lazy co-worker named. This morning we're looking for I've never met a bad flatmate.

Yeah, so I'll throw out a good name. I think I've never met a bad Hannah. Now here's the question, Meg, have you flattered with a Hannah before? Yes. Okay, and she was fantastic. Yes. Couldn't fault her. You flat with a Hannah?

I do flat with her Hannah. She's brilliant. In fact, I ask for her handed marriage. Yeah. And we are married now. That's how good she was. That's how good she was. Yeah, yeah.

I would say Hannah's a good, okay. Okay. Clint, are you out of this game because you've never flatted? Or are you going to say Christine your mother's name? Christine and John. Christine and John, they're both very lovely. They paid for most things while I was flating with them. They sound great.

Which is why I stayed for so long, in fact, actually. And then I eventually moved out to get married. So yeah, I do, I miss such a, I said to my wife one time, like it was a while ago, maybe a year or two years ago, that I really regret. I have like some life regret about like not flatting and going out and living with the boys and she got really upset about it. She was like, what? And I was like, well, yeah, I just went from like mom and dads to living with you. Because I think it was because Produce Sinipia, him and the boys, they had like a flat for a rent, like a room and I wanted to rent it so that I could just go over there. If I was hanging out of the boys, I could stay.

It's still there if you want it, brother. Think of that. He just wanted to rent a room so he could party. Fortnite with the boys, you know, a couple beers on a weeknight. Sounds terrible, mate. She was like, fine, do what you want. So I was like, does that mean I can rent it? Oh, God, you're a nightmare.

Okay, were you putting out the name Christine or John, which one? No, I'll throw out like a mic. Well, I flattered with the mic. I was literally going to say Michael. I knew. I flattered with Mike as well. Okay, they're good. And he was great.

The only thing about Mike, and I won't say his last name because he's one of my best friends now, but you could hear him sometimes jagging upstairs. But that's one thing. You know, that's really just like. just lonely downstairs by yourself. Yeah, 100% big, going, I wish I had that. Okay, so Dan, because at least someone on the show can, you can vouch for them.

So you can vouch for a Hannah, you can vouch for a mic. Yeah, I can too. And I'm going to throw out, and this is going to, I'm going to throw out another, a female name. Elise. Okay, I can't vouch for that. I flattered with an Elise before I flattered with Michael, and she was fantastic.

Like, she ran everything. Clean. Clean. Like, she did the bills. Didn't do what Dan did where he took an admin fee from the flat account for paying the bill. Oh, it was just a little bit of a cream off the top for doing the admin.

Like, it was like $10 a week. Which is totally fine if everyone in the flat knows about it. And agrees to it. I think it's better if they don't know. Because then they start questioning going, why is he doing it? I'll do it for free. No, $10.

A little skim off the top is fine. Produce the car? I'll throw a name out there. You guys don't have to pick it, but we had a flat mate. His name was James, and he used to cook sausage and pasta in our kettle.

And so everything just always... We didn't realize for ages until we were like, man, our tea and coffee tastes real weird. Turns out he'd been cooking sausages in there for six months. Cooking sausages in a kettle. I mean... Why do we boil sausages?

That was a whole other lie of questions. That was another question. I've never boiled a sausage. Maybe you haven't lived. Unless it's like a row of cherios that maybe he was putting in there. Bloody hell. So he's got him stray bullets for no

reason. This is a great taste. Sausagey. Why? Okay. So now you get a chance to veto it. If you go,

no, no, no, guys, I've flayed it with a terrible Hannah, a terrible Michael or a terrible Elise. Yes. But we give them one song

and if they don't cop any strays, then we'll lock them in as officially the greatest name to Flatwood. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. All right, you have three minutes just under to call with your story as to why they need to be vetoed. Hannah, Elise and Mike. You don't want your name

thrown out in this game, I don't think, because it just invites people to throw you under the bus, really. We threw out three names that we thought are the greatest flatmates to end up living with. They were Hannah, Michael and Elise. Now you get one song to veto those names

based on maybe negative experiences that you've had with one of those three names. And so far, we've had a few, but a lot of correspondence for a couple of names. Absolutely. Two have been very popular. I saw one text come in, say, not Mike. I flattered with a mic, who would use my towel, in the bathroom, but deny it.

He never took his own in, though, and mine will always damp. Oh, Mike. Come on, Mike. There's another text here at bathroom base for a Mike. I flattered with a mic, and he used to blow snot rockets in the shared shower. So that's a big no-no. If he's sharing a shower with people. Okay.

Michael used to eat everything that wasn't his, even the stuff specifically labelled for others in the flat. Oh, Mike. Who wants to live in a flat where people putting their name on stuff? Mike's very bad. Mike is very bad so far. Let's go to Susie. What name are you vetuine?

Mike. Oh, Michael. Poor Michael. What was the Michael affecting you? What was he doing? I'm ashamed to say that he was my friend, but I helped him shift out, and the things that he did to his flatmate

is her shampoo bottle and her toothbrush. Oh. Yeah. On the way out when he realized no one wanted him now? Just for... Yeah, and he also turned off the power to the freezer before he left. Oh, God.

Yeah. It sounds like a horrible part of it. What's what do you do with the shampoo? I don't want to know that. We don't want to know that. I can guess. Head and shoulders. Okay, okay.

We've got this text saying, have flattered with both a Hannah and a Mike. Hannah did anything to get out of the flat chores and Mike was a coward. Michaels, you sucked a flat one. And new one, and you one, and new one, and you voted to let the bully stay.

He had the swing vote. Elise is safe. Okay, so far that's sad. We've got Hannah. Are you defending your name, Hannah? Not, no. No. No.

Are you terrible to live with or you lived with a terrible Hannah? I lived with a terrible Hannah and I lived with her for four years. She's a bit of a hoarder, not the end of the world, but in COVID. She set herself up in the dining room in lockdown, picked an 11 to 1 phone slot for her job and then banned anyone from using the kitchen. Wow. She sounded like a piece of work. I had one like that, Hannah, where they like in the kind of COVID area, they decided that one of the rooms in the house was theirs for their office. And it's not quite how...

What you needed Hannah was a mic to mess with her shampoo bottle to put her in her place. Thanks, Hannah. Dan, you play with her Hannah, and she's quite stingy with her with, like, the pocket money allowance that she gives you. Yeah, but she's flats with a guy that likes to spend stuff. So, you know, he has to be kept in line, but that's the problem. Yeah, the thing that annoys me about the Hannah I flat with is she leaves her floss everywhere. She'll use a bit of floss, and then I'll find it like on the kitchen table or something, because she just walks around the house flossing.

Good enough of flossing. But that's the literally only thing I can fault with her. Okay, so Hannah's. And mics are out. So far, Elise is safe. Nothing for Elise. Yeah. All right, Elise, it is the perfect name to have for a flatmate.

Have you ever been a lease? No bad news across the entire country for Elieces. Yeah, if you're looking for a flatmate and the lease comes to a flat viewing, snap her up. Yeah. Yeah, she'll be great. Wow. All right, coming up, 8 o'clock this morning, we'll spend the fuel let wheel again for $50,000. But next, Mick sent us a video to.

our work messenger group chat. Yeah. And Dan and I have been talking about it privately. Oh God, why do you do that? Do you have another group chat without me? Yeah, it's called the Meg bitching session. That's what they call it. 2026. Because the 2025 one got way to too funny. I wasn't even there

after you. Too many videos and stuff. Yeah, anyway. You find out what Meg's husband Guy is doing and I don't know if it's to save money, but if it is save money, there are faster ways to do that, babe. Yeah. Clint, Meg and Dan. Probably an opportunity to bring back something you can't believe you had to teach another adult. What? Because your husband, Guy Meg was doing somewhere over the weekend.

You recorded it, ping it through to the group chat. Is it about the windscreen wipers? Yeah. Because it's got nothing to do with Petro. Windscreen. It's got nothing to do with Petro. Well then why is he restricting how often he wants to use the windscreen wipers if he doesn't think like when you use the air conditioning, it's meant to use more fuel?

I don't know. I thought that, I don't know if this is a guy. husband thing or if this is like a man in general thing where he just for some reason doesn't use the windscreen wiper until the whole window is covered in rain. I just don't understand why because I see a little bit of spit coming in and I'm like

oh windscreen wipers go on. It doesn't bother me. But he's like he leaves it and I sit there and I have to almost sit on my hands instead of I don't reach over and turn them on. I go can we just turn those on because I don't know how you can see. Oh passenger seat princess. Yeah I know but I don't. Even worse because she's reaching over and touching control. And that's why it drives me crazy.

And we were driving over the weekend. And I need to see if you two did it too. It's amazing because, yeah, it sounds like it's really infuriating. But whereas in this clip you're going to hear a very calm Meg asking my husband politely to turn them on. Just my husband, or to all men, think that using the windscreen wipers cost them $5 a pund or something. Just turn them on. It does need to be done constantly. Just turn them on.

I just think it's raining. I can see. When they're like this? Yeah. Just use the f***ing windscreen wipers! It's just aggressive. Look, the sun is out. It's going to dry the window.

Oh my God. They don't cost any money. There you go. One. Oh. I hate to say it, but I'm with Guy on this. Why? See, because you're a man.

Why do men do it? I like to, sort of like a game you play where I sort of, I keep it off, keep the windscree wrappers off to the last minute. So I can't see through it. And then I go, and the feeling, the feeling of cleaning the window. is so satisfying. Why? Clint? I honest a girl was watching and going,

he must think he's saving fuel or something. There's no reason to not be able to see out of a windscreen when you're driving a car with your children in the back unless you think it's at some sort of financial benefit to you.

Turn them on. I don't know what makes it not to them on. Yeah, he's either deliberately trying to anger you. No, it's the first time I've opened up about it was this weekend. You know what as well? The other thing is, and this is, I guess, a little bit of a money thing.

If the window's too dry, it does wear out. the rubber. Oh God, he's not thinking of that. He doesn't care. He doesn't care. It's a man thing for some reason of like just leaving the windscreen wipers until the last second. That's a satisfying factor. It's a satisfying factor for me. Like if you ever cleaned a window that's really dirty and then you've cleaned it to a clean, you know, state. That's for me. In caps, my husband does this and then someone else going, it's a man thing. Drives me crazy too. There's a lot of people saying that their man does this. I do think some guys.

are thinking it's because you know like when you turn your air conditioning on and people were like I know mythbusters I think tried to see if it was true or not you're using petrol ever so slightly but are guys driving around thinking all sorts of rate and car functions are using my husband is not a saver clinic he's a spender my husband doesn't give stuff about saving money that's on me he wouldn't be worried about that at all that would have crossed his mind no that's a fun little game we play just us manly men go clip's out of the club yeah you're out of the club club club I just put on auto and my car just does it when it needs to do it.

Oh, he's got auto. Play them thing. That's not. That's not. You're unrelatable. I love more. I love this. It must be nice.

What car do you drive, Dan? I'm going to Google it and find out if it has it. It has them, yes. I choose not to use it. You're unrelatable. Because I'm still in touch with the real, man. The real guy, whatever it is. Common man.

Yeah. He's like touching me and they're like, What guy do you in touch with? All right, um, yeah, I went under the edge. I can't believe I had to teach another adult, what?

So Guy, if you're listening, it doesn't say fuel. He never thought it's safe fuel. He's just an infuriating man. But then I can't move into the phoneer. I didn't know that's what we were doing it on. Poor guy. Catching strays, how you can call up

if he wants to defend himself. It's not saying, and the whole rolling in neutral that doesn't, nothing. That does absolutely. nothing. Nothing. What is it? I can't believe.

I had to teach another adult what. Okay. So, yeah, rolling in neutral, windscreen wipers, it's not using any airfield. Nobody thinks that. Sorry. Clint Megan Dan's scandal. Director of One Direction documentary for Netflix with former bandmenders, Zay Malik and Louis Tomlinson, has responded to the reports of a fight between them because they are causing it to be scrapped,

sane, and there goes the last year of my work. Oh. So it's true that one of them punched the other in the face? Whether it is true or she's like doing that play of like, oh well, there goes the last year of my work and it's not actually true. I believe it might be from her comments on the article. Had it pissed you off. The edge.

Glend meaghan. Your chance to play for 50K worth of fuel at 8 o'clock. It's back. Your car could be winning your 50 grand's worth. What does it land on before Mitsubishi, hey? Yeah, 7 o'clock if you had a midsy. Got it. Next, we were talking about the fact that Meg's husband guy doesn't use the windscreen wipers a lot when it's raining.

He chooses to limit the use of them and it annoys Meg. It turns out it annoys a lot of women. There's a lot of guys doing it. And Meg says she has a list of things that guys do that annoy her. And we wondered how many other women have a list. She's got a Google Doc, which she's just brought up. My fingers are in fire right now, typing. If you like to dog pile on us alongside Meg, what are the things that your man does that drive you crazy?

They could be little, big things, petty things. Meg's got a list, but have you got space for other people to weigh in as well? Yeah, sure, let me just get back to the list. She's writing the list. She's angry. A Meg's husband guy was annoying her over the weekend. Just my husband, or to all men, think that using the windscreen wipers cost of five. dollars of pump or something. Just turn them on.

Just turn them on. I just honestly, it's raining. I can see. Okay. I'm just bickering as usually. As usual. Now look, my husband is listening. He listens every morning. He is the love of my life, my soulmate, my best friend. But. I have a list that I think the people might be able to relate to of specific things I think men do.

Because it turns out your husband isn't the only one that's leaving it till the last minute, put his windscreen weapons on. You've hit a nerve. A lot of women going, oh my God, my man does this as well. Oh, we all do it. just, yeah, we'll, okay. Here are my lists. When I take 45 minutes to get ready, and he says he's ready to go, and then I say I'm ready, and he still needs to put his shoes on and use the bathroom. Why is it that when I'm finished...

Oh, you're ready, if all you've got to do is go weaves and put shoes on, you're ready. Yeah, you're ready. If I say, look, I'm going to take 45 minutes to get ready, and then when I'm done, I'm walking out the house, and suddenly he's like, oh, I just need to put my shoes on. Oh, so you're not ready. He should have his shoes on inside the house. He's just sitting there waiting. Why are you say you're ready?

I'm exactly the same as her. You're not ready. Okay. When he leaves his shoes around the house, which I also do, but he's the bigger, so they get in them way more. Okay, so he can't win, can he? When he sneezes more than three times in a row,

get a hold of your life. Yeah, three even is a lot. It's normally one or two. When I tell him to look at something and he takes about 25 seconds to look and by that point, the thing has gone. Oh, that annoys me. Yeah, that does annoy you.

When we go up for a day, and I ask him to listen because I can tell there's a couple behind us or next to us having a juicy conversation, and I can see he can't hear a thing. I think he needs to get his ears cleared out or something because I want to gossip about that conversation. He goes, I don't know what you're talking about.

God, you and Hannah are similar. Should we go to Jean? That's not the end of your loss, I suspect, based on your inflections. I have a Jean from Wellington. What is the thing that your guy does that drives you insane? So for me, it's like when you're chewing with your mouth open and you're talking, like, what are you doing? Yeah, that's fair enough, I reckon.

Is it because Gene you've asked him a question when he's mid-mouthful? What is he supposed to do? Victim-blaving? No. I'm just silently eating and he's just chewing with his mouth open talking and it's like, get a hold of itself, please. Nothing worse than a furious masticator? Hey, yeah, the sound you make

with your mouth. Back to my list for a sing before we go to the phones. When I say, I love this song and I turn it up and that's exactly the moment he decides to open up about his life or about something serious. and I've just said I love this song. She's the love of your life. Someone just takes through when he breathes.

Jesus. Caitlin. Morning, Caitlin. Hi. Morning. Morning. Morning. What's he do that drives you crazy?

Oh my God. He picks and bites his nails. And the noise it makes, irritates me so much. And I don't understand because he doesn't have nails to pick or bite anyway because they're so short.

Have you ever thought that maybe it's because you make him nervous? Caitlin, you know? Oh, I'd like to think that, but no. It's just, oh my God, it annoys me. It's so entertaining. It is a bad habit, actually. Sunny's texting said when he coughs? Yeah.

Is he doing it a lot? Has he got a problem, kindness? What's going on? Okay. Okay. So, me, you've still got like 50 different points. I've still got more if we want, okay. When I asked him specific gossip and intel about one of his friends,

but he didn't think to ask any further questions. This is not a gossip. When he throws something out without asking if I still needed it, even though I haven't used it for well over a year, I might have needed that thing. He's decluttering. To be honest, all the things you've read are fairly innocent things. Yeah, except from like guilty, guilty, guilty.

He's amazing. When he falls asleep before me, he has to wait and to fall asleep until I'm asleep because then he snores, so I'd rather him stay away. At least none of the points are when he sleeps with other women or something, you know, like stuff like that. I'm very lucky. A couple have come through on the text late.

when he twitches in his sleep, when he drops his dirty washing on the floor right next to the washing basket. I don't have the washing basket full. Don't you say that, Daniel, we can do some washing and then it won't be. When he goes to the supermarket and buys exactly what I asked him for but doesn't think to pick me up a little treat as well.

Oh, what it? But then when you buy them a tree and go, I don't need that. You can't wait. You can't win. It's only fair of this time tomorrow we flip the script and guys get to weigh in on the annoying things that you do. Oh yeah, I've got a list. Are we just Meg specific?

Clint, Meg and Dan. Before we get into this, someone's just text through saying, can I please get some advice? Can I eat cottage pie that's been in the fridge for six days? My advice, absolutely not. Disgusting. Oh, Dan actually did a bit of in studio. I know. It made me dry reach.

I also, I love that you're coming to us when there's Google. There's so many. They trust us. And you know what? I'm giving you advice. Don't do it. Throw it out. If it's beef.

Unless you nuke it really that long. The microwave does not bring off food back to life. Okay. No, no, no, no. I just don't risk it. One last day of Coachella. The highlights, we're going to catch up with Sven to our Swedish reporter. He's on the ground with a triple A access all areas past.

We hear? Before we do that, though, what was the picks for you, Meg? The picks? Yeah, you've got audio for Coachella. Oh yeah, absolutely. Sorry, I was still thinking about the beef. I honestly was. I can see the lights are on, but no one's home. I was honestly still thinking about the beef. She was like, oh, I am a bit hungry.

No, no, I was like, why would somebody eat six-day-old beef? Okay, yeah, from Coachella, Justin Bieber, I thought he was absolutely incredible this time around. Last weekend, I don't know why he maybe didn't have as much confidence in it or Riz, but this time, amazing. Billy Elish went up on stage for what might be the final one-less, London girl, and she had, has just posted on her Instagram, still crying. Still crying. Yeah, it's been hours. And her eyes are red, and she looks like she has been crying.

She seemed like a fan and didn't seem like she was almost in the same league as Justin Bieber because of her fandom. But then Meg was saying, I said, goes back to 2012. So many Justin Bieber things, I was, like, crying so hard. Because I'm worried that when I get a boyfriend, I won't want to be with him because I actually love Justin Bieber more. Yeah, she is a full believer. but Lily who works here at the edge bulled her eyes out watching Justin.

So cute, I loved it. And there's a real, like, fandom forum in the way of, like, people feel physically like connected and emotional. And that was Billy. And I thought it was really nice to watch the superstar be just a fan again. They must all have that. Like, even if you all say, Katie Perry, you must be still fang, get over someone.

Even if you're Tom Cruise, there's got to be someone. Sorry, damn. No, I'm just going to say, I think the Justin Bieber effect is, and I can sort of see it. There's not many other pop stars where our generation of people, and maybe a bit younger, have grown up with Justin Bieber. To the point where he started and he was like just a kid, and we're all kids when he started,

and then you've sort of grown up with him. He's gone through all the growing pains, all the stuff, the shit he went through when he was younger. And now he's come back out the other end, and we're all kind of like ownership of him. I know that she's won Gramies. I know she's my awards. I honestly think that was her dream come true,

because she loves him so much. and there's not many girls that get to be taken up on stage as a fan. Terry Cruz also got brought up on stage though. Sabrina Carpenter's set with the Madonna. Make a way down, walking fast, face me fast that I'm holding about. Staring blankly ahead. Yeah, I probably should have gotten some audio of Madonna versus Terry Cruz. I like that better.

I don't think she was singing, to be honest. You don't think if she sounded very good? Yeah, I think she was lip-syncing. The stuff I saw her, I'm like, I'll come on Madonna. Oh, that might make more sense, because I thought. She sounded very good for a senior-year-old. Because Sabrina was singing live. Yes.

But I think she heard bits of tracked. Guys, I'm getting in my ear. Sven is waiting on the ground at Coachella for us. He's impatient, isn't he? Yeah, so we are going to have to push on. To catch up with Sven. Find out what's going on in Coachella, our Norwegian, Swedish. Oh, don't say Norwegian.

Oh, really? It piss him off. It's like saying he's Australian when he's a Kiwi. Oh, right. Oh, no, no, no. We have a Swedish reporter Sven that we across to. Whenever there's like a big news event around the world. We fly him out, don't we?

He gets on the next fight out of Sweden to the event. Best in his price range there, Rickens. Let's cross to him now. Morning, Span. You're coming to us live from Coachella. How did you manage to get that across the line, buddy? Kiorna to you guys. It's so good to be here.

Great question, actually, Dom. It's been a great trip, and it's been completely funded by the New Zealand taxpayer. So thank you so much to those guys. And thank you to the CEO of your country, Christopher Lachson, for making the right decision to fund it. As a result, I've had VIP access to all areas pass for both weekends of Coachella. Aye, aye, aye, wee, wah, wooa. I've been happy as happy as a Norwegian moose on mating season.

Hashtag blast, hashtag Yolo, hashtag FYP. You know, if it's all access, I imagine it would have been backstage, so that would have been incredible. Did you run into any famous people? I saw that, like, Haley Bieber was even in the crowd, not backstage. So that's crazy. What a stupid question. Of course I did.

I was backstage. I used the same shitter as Sabrina Carpenter. I had some of Sombers' dinner that he left on the table. But of course, the highlight for me, guys, oh my goodness, I'm from Sweden, just a small town in Sweden. But the highlight for me was running into Justin Bieber. Wow. Good luck for tonight on your show, Justin. Appreciate it. Thank you.

Is it okay if I get a quick photo with you? Thank you. That'll be enough. Just a quick photo. I can see it You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you. What do you mean, clocking?

It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it? Who's business? I don't know who's paying you to me or provoke me, but I'm not the one. This is weird, bro. It was Meeks idea.

Y'all are on some real weird shit. Clinton doesn't do drugs. Literally. Anymore. Anyway, have a good night, Justin. I'll leave you alone. Okay, then go, then have a good night somewhere else.

That's a shame. Oh, yeah, I'm not fluent in a... Oh, oh, no, we've lost him. What a shame? That's the thing. buddy, we'll catch up with you the next time the world has a big event. Maybe we'll send you to the straight. Homas straight?

I love hummus. Okay. All right. See you, bud. All right. Breakfast hits harder with Clint McIntan. We push on. $50,000 worth of fuel up for grabs with our roulette wheel of fuel.

Whu? Quinn Megendang's fuel letts. We'll spin it once this morning. We'll spin it again in minutes, seconds. Yeah, probably 84 seconds, actually. Okay. If we want to be exact, 0,800 the edge. Clip Meg and Dan.

Your car is your ticket to win. It's time to spin the wheel. Clint Megan Dan's 50K fuel it. Hey, just coming out, I love and concern and hoping everybody's safe for Wellington, my hope in town. I've been going through the photos online on the news this morning and the flash flooding and slips.

Really scary. And I know a lot of people would have woken up overnight for their cars and their houses and their flats. Completely flooded. sending love, hope everybody's safe and I'm so sorry that you're all going through this because from what I can see online it looks really, really bad

in Wellington today. So seeing love for the Huff Valley, Wellington, Kilburning all those areas. Right now though, your chance to score yourself $50,000 worth of fuel with our roulette wheel of fuel Cat from Auckland has just scored herself an instant $100 worth of free fuel. Yay Cat! Oh nice!

Now Kat, what sort of vehicle do you drive? I've got a Mazda. Okay, so that Mazda could be winning you $5,000 right now. Okay, we're going to spin the wheel. Who would you like to spin it? Meg, Clint or myself? Oh, Meg. She's back in.

Do you know Meg was only one tick away from the five grand at seven o'clock. She was very, very close. Here we go, Saul, thanks to Novus. Windscreen, triple crack. Notice it, Novice it. And she's off. She spun the wheel. How much does it cost to fill your Mazda at the moment?

Cat? About 160. That's crazy, eh? The boss has come over to the window. He's looking through the producer booth. He's nervous. He's nervous. Always a little sort of puckers at a certain area when we spin this.

It's interesting, isn't it? Because it was his idea to do this. Here, we go, it's coming back around. It's at the top now. No, no. It's at the bottom, but it's still. Damn it! It's landed on Tesla.

Just to rub it in. Oh, no, don't have one of those. No. No. Oh, wow. Sorry, Kat. I'm so sorry, Kat. But 100 bucks still in your bank account. That means we're 0 for 12 in the spin, and it's a 1 in 16 shot.

It's got to happen. We're due to win in the next couple of days for sure. All right, back again at 7 and 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Next on the show, though, I made it a bit of a nerve last week when she was talking about long-distance friendships. Yeah, my God, it's gone worldwide, which isn't surprising because you would be tagging in your long-distance bestie on socials. but it is very much so not alone in missing my long distance best mate. Clint, Megan Dan. Oh my gosh.

Last week I was lucky enough to see one of my best mates for maybe, how many hours did we spend together? Maybe four, four hours for the first time in a year and a half. And then she flew back to England the next day. So she's back in England, I believe, landing now. Not long enough, is it? No, it definitely doesn't feel long enough for me. Next time she comes over, she's going to try for long. but you know like I probably should try to get over there too but there's just no way it's going to happen and I found out after writing a piece of writing I guess piece of poetry about long-distance friendships that I'm not alone in that I think there are many many people that have incredible connections platonic connections with friends and those friends go and move overseas as they should they meet other people they fall in love they make families or they get good careers and they're

stay there. Just on there, if you missed it on Thursday, he's just sort of the tail end of the sentiment that Meg wrote. Your kids say hi, but they barely register my presence anymore because it's all too common to see me laughing with you in the kitchen about nothing at all. There's no catching up, no long voice notes or messages, because we know that at any point in time, it won't be more than a day that we will see each other again. I think you touched on something in there. It wasn't mentioned in that cliff, but you said Something along the lines of it's possible to have a platonic soulmate. Yes.

And I think that's so true. There's a lot of people listening to have a best friend that they're like, you are my soulmate. Obviously there's nothing in terms of sexual there, but we are like such good friends. We know each other so well. Some sort of connection happens, and it feels like a physical pain when you really realize.

Because I think the best thing that we can do is that we talk where we can, and, you know, I message my friends when I can, and then I just get on with life. But when I really sit in my feelings, and I think how I would have loved, especially when I'm a mum now and their mums, our kids won't be growing up together and probably won't be friends unless we force it,

you know, via like, you should send a letter to your pen pal and they go, I've met them twice. You know, like that's the part where I can't think about it without crime because it's not how I imagined. The saddest part too, Meg, is when your kids do catch up, this happened with my kids before it, and they hit it off and they have a great time,

and you're like, amazing. And then it goes so long between players, dates like years even. Then when they catch up you go, you remember them? And they go, no. And the kids literally don't remember the time that they had. And so you're right, it's that time spent hanging out that builds that relationship. Which the opposite.

It won't happen. And when you really, yeah, I think that was that. It's the hardest part is realizing I'm not moving. She's not moving. So this is going to be us. And in another life, I would have loved to be her neighbor. And I would have loved to have that community with her and have our kids grow up together. But it's not going to happen.

And it's the big life events they miss as well. Yeah, she missed my wedding. Walked down the aisle on Zoom. She did. I've got another long-distance best friend who's in Wellington. And even that feels long distance, even though, you know, it's a flight away when your life is busy. The one in Wellington didn't miss the wedding, did she?

No, she didn't think of all. Okay, good, because otherwise, I'd have been questions. That'd be too much. But life is expensive as well. And if you're going to spend all your family's money on a trip just for you to go and hang out with your friend, it feels selfish at this point. But, yeah, it got shared.

God, hundreds of thousands of times. Sometimes it's just you just want to have a... For me, my best friend lives in New York. And I'm just like, sometimes I just want to just have a beer. Like something to something to be like, something to celebrate. Maybe you get a new job or something. You'd be like, I'd love to have a beer with Chris, just to kind of celebrate. I'd love to have a what?

A cuddle. No. A ginger beer. A ginger beer. Okay. Still a beer. The bits I miss the most aren't the bits. I mean, there are, obviously, I would have loved her to be at my wedding.

And those were the times where you really notice it. But it's just the little. little things where you kind of, I would have, I'd love to just have a coffee on a hard day with my best mate. What was the moment your bestie missed if you're doing the whole long distance friendship thing and you look back, you still, you understand it, but it still hurts. Maybe you had a big breakup and you just wish you could have them to have a, have a chardonnay with. Or a ginger bear. What are you, like a seminary or a woman?

What did your best friend miss Texas, I'll call us now? I love a buttery shard. We want to know what was the big event that your bestie ended up missing? thing because I guess a wedding financially if that's the reason sometimes they've missed it you can save for a year but things like funerals and stuff that just kind of happen out of the blue I guess it's really hard to just drop everything and be there sometimes yeah well that's one of the texts I mean it's so sad saying my best friend couldn't make it back home for when my mum passed away um she lives in America and she just literally didn't have the costs saved to just fly

which must be maybe they're a bit younger that's so sad because that's the one sort of event you want your bestie with you hey Yeah, and if you are younger and you don't have a partner, you need that person, your person there. Very, very tough. This text my best friend still hasn't met my fiancé. We've been engaged for a year. I think that's a common one as well. You know, maybe you've got together a couple of years.

Yeah, they haven't seen them. Not meet your other person. Yeah. Speaking of fiancée, my fiancé left my daughter and I a couple of months ago. I'm in Christchurch. My best friends are in Auckland. Not having them at this time has been so difficult. Same country, but still flights are expensive.

And also life is expensive. Yeah. Let's go to Olivia. Olivia, what did your best friend miss? because they're long distance. Morning, guys. Morning, my best night missed the birth of my child. Whereabouts do they live?

So they are in Sydney. He has been my best night since I was two. And at the time, yeah, at the time I was living in Nelson. Okay, so how long after the birth? Yeah, when did he show up? He actually hasn't met him yet and my son turned two years old on Thursday. So he hasn't been able to fly back? No, it's just a case of life gets in the way.

He has an incredible job as partner over in Sydney. And yeah, it's just, it's unfortunate. But we call every so often and we send each other pictures and, yeah. It's really sad. It's so hard. I know what you mean, Olivia, because obviously you're, you're, your child is the greatest thing

in your world and it's so weird not having your friend to understand their personality and who they are and how much you love them because they're now a part of you. I get it. It's so tough. I'm so sorry my darling because it is a pain that we don't talk about very often because we're like oh it's just a friend

that's not there but it's it's horrid. And what's the alternative? Like you try and think of hard to fix it you can. You can make you friends but I'm talking about... But it's not the same as your best E.A. Especially from age two. That's got to be unique to Olivia. Like I've got a mate that I'm still friends with since five. Most people are shocked by that.

Two is like on a different level. That's so sad. Mine's five too. Rebecca, what about you? What did your bestie miss? She also missed the birth of my son. He came seven weeks early as well. Oh, that sounds like more his fault than hers though.

And he just showed up two months early. Yeah, what's the plan for her to try and be there for the birth? Yeah, she would have loved to have been there. I can hear you're emotional. I've been quite a line, unfortunately. Just a little. Yeah, so Rebecca, when were they born? How long ago?

So he was born in February last year. Okay, and has she met him since? She did, so she came home for his first birthday. Oh, that's cool. At least you've got the meat cute. Better than Olivia's, mate. He's busy with work and stuff. Come on.

But, yeah, to even have a whole year of the baby's life, you know? It's so tough because you can't blame that other person too. No, no, life gets in the way. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. Yeah.

I mean, there's so many ticks coming through now. I won't say the name because maybe you want to be anonymous. They said, when people say life gets in the way, they said it's actually my wife getting in the way saying you ain't going. Who's the friend? I know. Is it a guy and a female friend? I don't know. Yeah.

But that's hard, especially when there's people that are like there's a person that's, it's text through movies, makes in Canada missed a lot of stuff. It's like, it's an expensive trip from Canada to come to New Zealand, even for your best friend, you know? But don't you think of that Instagram moment when you just knock on the door and that open up and they have to do that double-triple-take, being like, what are you doing here? Is this real? Yeah, I know, but it costs a lot of money.

It is not just the flights, it's the accommodation. It's a jet lag. It's time off work. You can always make more money. Can't make more time. Clint, you can say you're so unreliable. You got two thousands. You can't just say

There's nothing to do it You can't drive a test on a Canada a me People don't have two and a half to five pay I'm related was that my friend probably lives 20 minutes away Yeah that's probably it's probably better Still haven't seen him in months either Hey yeah

We don't have to Clint Meg and Dan Lesh go Sit back and relax While we dial into Dan's diary We bring this back up Because Dan's mum's moving house

And we're going to go on a bit of a show trip Next week And go Dig through Dan's mum attic and see if we can find any remaining Dan's diaries before she goes and does that whole declutter thing where you throw out a whole lot of stuff. At my school we wrote diaries every day for the whole time you were at school at Trudeau Group.

He had to do it. So there must be at least 10. We've only ever found, what, two or three of them? Yeah. So there must be more lying around somewhere in a box. I hope there is anyway. And Meg's going through one at the moment that Dan must have penned a paper around the ages of 14 or 15.

If I was any older it's tragic Yeah I'm trying to give you the benefit of doubt Because if you were 16 You should have known better Right okay Ten story this morning So good Every page is so good

I just love it Here we go It's a real page turn Went to Alistair's on Saturday To stay the night Do you want me to change names Maybe Okay what are we changing

Alist's name too Because I'm still very good friends With Alistair He lives in the UK It's too like Alistair is Alistair now. No one's forgetting that you said Alistair. Oh, what do we think about Scott?

Change his name? Okay, cool. Okay, yeah, change his name. No, it's right. Was he a Maca? I'm going back, go. Here we go. Went to Alistair's on Saturday to stay the night.

Don't you mean Scots? No, no. Oh, okay, right. Alice is fine. Went to Alist's on Saturday to stay the night. We stayed in the Rumpus room at 11 p.m. when his friends were in, when his parents were in bed, We went out the sliding door and snuck down to the reserve to let off fireworks.

Oh, I remember it. It was mint. So much fun. Most of the fireworks we had have been banned since 1999. She's on your age. Very cool. Stephen shot a Roman candle out of his ass. For us?

Yeah. That was a done thing. Everybody shot a Roman candle out of their ass. Come on. I don't think so. I don't think so. I've never laughed so much in my life. I nearly couldn't breathe good times.

I've never done it. Carl, Nipia. No, no, no. I haven't done it. I've witnessed it. We did so many fireworks that didn't get, so we didn't get back to bed until 2 a.m. It was so cool. We each drink two Vs to stay awake,

and I'm still feeling the effects now. The next 24 hours wait a hour. My God Come on I was young Still filling your face Was it the garana Was it still

Must have been the Torrean Yeah One or the other That goes straight to your veins Oh Alice's parents Were really religious And would be super angry If they found out

Luckily they are too busy praising the Lord Lunch corn chips And a zombie chew Dinner Mint's envelope A mint That's one of my mom's specialties.

It's like a pie, but it's just a bit like mince. On a piece, on a sheet of like pastry and she just folds it over. Mints in below. That's a crack up, mate. That's crack up. God, I heard we find you diaries at your mum's house. You guys will look at home and I'll still be there in the dark,

sifting around. I would not suggest having a zombie chew for lunch. That is nutritional value of a zombie chew is very low. Oh, God, it kills me. All right. Okay. What a guy. Got a good.

Pose ourselves. All right. Rumor Hazard is up next. We've squashed a few on the show. Dan's one, I think, is still an open case. Something that Dan said happened to him years and years and years ago. We'll recap it'll come up for you next. It probably will feature him one.

Clint, Megan, Dan. We'd love to hear the rumor that's been swirling around in your life for a wee while that maybe a friend swears they did, or it might be a parent of a friend. A few rumors that have been going around on this show, specifically one from Dan. And for how many years down me? Oh, God. I'm almost sick of talking about it.

So many years that he says that he got a standing ovation at Speck Savers. It was, like, why would I make it up? And the thing is, I think we've talked about it too much as well. But the thing is, you guys don't believe me. It happened. What else can I say? Didn't we try and call somebody and it wasn't Speck Savers? Oscar Wild by accident.

That was an accident. It was a drop ball. We got to give him the wrong number. But then he was even telling Ash about it when she was filling in for your mail to last year. I was down the back of Specsavers. where they do the eye tests, okay? I read the bottom line perfectly from left to right, the smallest lettering.

The woman stood up and went, I can't remember, she said the other ladies, Rachel, we've got another one, and they stood up and clapped me out of the store. Okay, now Meg. If I could just question Dan here, the last but he said is they clapped me out of the store. So Dan reads the last line.

They all stand up and clap him. Now, but I would imagine after that, there's a conversation about how much do I owe you, what's the test costs. Dan pays Oh yeah no there was The whole time they're clapping Like to a certain degree

I mean it sounds unbelievable They were clapping for a long time I actually believe you If she said we've got another one It's just something they would have done It obviously they did it to everybody So Dan goes pays for the ITS And they clap the second time as you left

Well they kept the clapping going They kept clapping and they go Oh it just come out this way And she was like no nothing to pay She's still clapping And I'll walk out of the thing And she said you've got another one It's just something they're doing

Maybe they thought that you were You really needed it Maybe they thought you were. Well, we'd like to be the show that takes the time and spends the money to find out if the rumor actually did happen or not. This actually was a real highlight for me when I told you that a dentist once was doing a bit of a test, just a checkup, and said, oh, mate, your teeth are mint, which is high praise from a dentist because mint and spare mint are the two things that you want your teeth to be. It'll smell like. But Megan, I thought it's a weird type of language.

for a dentist to say. You know, like, was he operating out of a bus stop? So if you ever, if you missed it, we actually called Green Bay Dental and got her to check my file. So the last time I saw Bruce and the time before that, Bruce was away, and so I got a fill in dentist,

so I don't know his name, but he wrote something down in my file about my teeth at the end after the check-up. Okay. I'll just go back into the history. Thank you so much. It's very important. Oh, this is great, Selena.

Yes. Well, Adam said, um clunt that you have mint that I did say that unbelievable is even recorded yeah it's actually on his

records for the rest of his life it still makes me think that they're not a great dentist do you know they have a photo of Ed Shearin because when he was in the country he went out we get it we get it I'm sure he's got mint teeth as well yeah okay well if Ed Shearin's if it's good enough for Ed Shearin it's good enough for me what's the rumor you've heard

Like the Spexhavers one, like Clint's dentist. Or is it a rumor that you want to prove? What do we... Yeah, I guess it could even be your rumor. Well, I mean, you swear it's true, but nobody believes you. Like, we're the show that could go deep and find out once and for all. If you've always wondered, going, yeah, my neighbour's dad reckons that he did something. It's like, I've always wondered if he's just spinning a massive yarn and he's so deep in the lie, he keeps it going.

We'll find out if it's true or not. It could even be an urban legend, just in your town. You've heard something, you know, and we'll get to the bottom of it. We will. We'll find that crushute panther. We'll spend way too much time and money. Yeah, this is our like bread and butter. It is 100%.

With petty. Clit megan Dan. The rumour. It seems to be swirling around in your life. It could be something that nobody believes that you did. Or somebody, like a friend of a friend. And you go, yeah, they're always going on about this. And just nobody believes them, but they swear it happened.

And we'll maybe spend time and money getting to the bottom of proving it or disproving it. guys like school-based rumors? Yes. It's my favourite. Someone's text this one through. There's a rumor at our school that one of the teachers failed his own driving test three times but still teaches physics. Now you'd argue that...

But that doesn't... That'd be fine, wouldn't it? You can teach physics but fail to be a bad driver? Yeah, I guess so. Do you think they go hand in hand? Maybe they're driving. We could get to the bottom of it. Maybe he's driving to work and doesn't have a license.

Somebody said that their mate used to work at McDonald's and says that if you want fresh fries you just ask for them for no salt and they have to do a whole new batch. That seems like plausible. Yeah, maybe. Right? Because if it's got salt on it,

then they would have to do a new batch. Yeah, of course they were. So if you want hot fries, you just ask for... Why would you want fries with no salt though? Exactly, so you got hot fries but no salt on them. Nobody's asked for that ever. And then you ask for salt packets. What about this one?

My best mate reckons that Guy Williams caught the wrong phantom shitter in Imbucago and he knows the actual one. I didn't know that there was a fan. Yeah, there was a, for a while, there was a pool there, a public pool, wasn't it, Neeps? Where someone was going and doing number twos in there, like, every day. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more than one.

You think it was a network of people? I do believe it was a network. We were not looking for a phantom, we're looking for phantoms. Yeah, our swimming lessons were cancelled like every Friday for maybe six to eight weeks in a row because someone kept laying a turd in the swimming lessons pool. It was nationwide news, like it was on stuff, and then it went international.

There was like... Are you serious? Yeah, it was a few years ago now. Yeah, it was fantastic. Somebody, Texan and my mate said he hooked up with Katie Perry when she was in New Zealand. I think Nixon, from my FM and used to work on the edge with me.

He also said he hooked up with Katie Perry, I think. He actually kept that rumor going for like a year, two years. And then we found out it was complete BS, right? Yeah, that's classic Nixon. She wasn't even in the country when he said that it happened. Speaking of, there was a rumor as well of someone that used to work here that slept with one of the Venga boys. Is that true?

I think that was true. I think that is true actually. Really? Yeah. Produce Carl? Yeah, yeah, that's the true one. Yeah, he's to work on the station. Yeah.

Sleep is one of the Venga boys. You can figure that out how you will. I see Carl is trying to get them on, so I'm not going to read that text, but if this person is true, then this is the greatest investigation we could ever perform. Oh, really? Yes. Oh, I love that. Got her. Ashley.

Ashley, tell me what you believe has happened to you. When I was, I'd say about 13 at school, me and my friends were on this book app and we found the baby shark dance. And so we started making a dance up to it and we performed it for like a group of five-year-olds. And then I found out that someone from a rival school posted on YouTube or something and they got famous for it. for the baby, Ashley made up the moves for the baby shark dance. Now, is there any way, Ashley, that we could get to the bottom of the school?

We need names. We need the video. We need the video itself. I don't know. It was on this little book app, but I just remember all of us dancing it. And then the whole school started. And you made up the moves, right? Is that what you're saying?

Yeah, yeah. But the moves were different when we made it. up it was like two little fingers and then it went to little hands and then giant hands for the grandma chart. So what you're saying is they've adapted. Pretty bass. Yeah, yeah. Have I been so like if you gave someone the song and you said make up some moves to this, I feel like most people who have never heard the song before might land in a similar space. Yeah, yeah, maybe they've just adapted them. Well so every time you hear the song you go, I made the moves up to that. Yeah, yes, because someone is,

at the rival school copied us. Because this was a worldwide phenomenon, wasn't it? Huge. And then they went viral and that's how it said. I didn't even know it started from a New Zealand school full stop. It's a weird flex though. Keep them coming through because that's a perfect one. I mean if we can

investigate it, we will. Makes a great detective she's good online. I am a good online. That'd be your backup gig actually. A detective. A social media detective. I don't think I could walk into a police station and say I want to be a detective now because I'm good at social media. You can be a private investigator, a pie.

Yeah, you're Brian Chau. Thank you for the social media division. You front that. All right, keep them coming through with 3343 or you can call us 0800 The Edge. Holy shit! You made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow.
