This is a podcast from Rover. Welcome to the podcast equivalent of a you-up text. Messy, slightly regrettable, but you'll still come back for more. This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Clint Megandan with Ash London. The Hedge Brecky. Hittata in Auckland. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Welcome.

Half day already, guys. Wednesday. Halfway through the week. Well, once we hit lunchtime. Yeah. Yeah, true. If you're a math guy. What do you mean? Well, no, halfway through, yeah. We're still climbing the mountain. We're getting close to the middle.

Technically, it would be at 7.30. Thank you, Neepia. It's hot. Sorry, they've just given me headphones. I realize that no one listening knows why. I just said, thank you, Neepia. Yeah. No, just because he's a great guy.

Why would it be 7.30? Because halfway through our show is, don't we finish it, no, we fish at 10. Yeah, but you know what? 8 o'clock. I don't know, I'm still used to. You know what? Yeah, you know, an Australian radio, they finish at 9.

Yeah. But also, you know, when Sir Edmund, Hillary and 10, Tensing Norgay were climbing Everest, and three of them, I was like, we're almost halfway. Tensington didn't go, no, we're not. We're only a little bit up the hill. Oh, I would be livid if I was climbing Everest, and someone said, guys, we're officially halfway. And then one of the other guys was like, actually, he's bullshitting.

We've got about another six hours until we're halfway. I would be like, well, then don't tell me we're halfway until we're halfway. Did those people get rescued from Everest that were going to die last week? No news is good news? Yeah, I presume we'd... I don't think it's the case when you're climbing Everest. Oh, okay. It was like a full-on blizzard, and there was, like, hundreds and hundreds of people that were just, like, huddled on the...

I don't know why you would, right? People just need to stop climbing Everest. They need to stop. When you see... Hillary did it, he got did it first, leave him. I mean, I imagine it's an amazing thing to be able to tick off and say you've done in your life, but when you look at the ratio of people that have climbed it to people have died, just for me, the numbers don't. There's other things that I think are more impressive that you can train for. Yeah.

And, like, you're like, the hundredth person that's done it. You know, like, if you're the first, I'll see how many people. Exactly, but like, who cares then? After one person's done, it's been done. Do another mountain, or have they all been done? Well, I guess if everest is the tallest, well, would anyone be impressed by any other mountain? It's been 11.5,000 some of the ships. Whoa, you calm down.

I climbed Mount Eden once and I was puffed. Yeah, I've done that. That's the highest mountain above sea level in Auckland. Exactly. That'd be why. Put my name up there. Yeah, good. Fly again.

Yeah. It was my Sherper. Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, my gosh. Good morning. We're about to jump into... What, whoa, is it a good one? Our 6am throwback.

And we do us versus the playlist. Not a chance we're swapping out this one. Oh, that's got to be some back street or some insane. Oh, correct on your second choice there. Inseng. Come on. You never sing enough for you. And it's got a resurgence as well when it was the, like, theme song to Deadpool.

Remember? And he does the dance and he kills everyone. while he's done it. Can I make a prediction? Go on. Because Justin Timbleck's career is in the toilet and done, really,

that's to be honest, I think we're going to get an NSYNC reunion. Do you think because he'll need the money, you'll need a bit of cash and also a bit of PR because it would be good PR

like look at him He's looking at the backstreet boys and the sphere. Yeah, Lance Bass. For many years the rest of the other members of Insync would have been like come on Justin,

when's it going to be in there? And he's gone, no, I've got a career guys. Yeah, just a bad. He needs it. And, you know, the Backstreet Boys are having a real run at the sphere making coin. All those women are coming to Vegas. I reckon there will be an in sync sphere.

Do you know, so the Backstreet Boys who did the sphere earlier this year, they went on a bit of a tour. They're coming back to the sphere, I think, later this year, early next year. It's almost completely sold out. Oh, my gosh. Because people have seen all the TikTok footage of the first to our first stint. I feel like I'm not going to get there, which is so not fair. But I'd said that we should do a trip there.

You're not going to get there with that sort of joke. I'll tell you that for nothing. I did a thing and it was like I took like a group to Backstree Boys, like a whole bunch of listeners. We kind of formed our own group. And it was like magic. It was magical because everyone that went was like obsessed with the BSB. We all knew the lyrics.

Heaven. I've got the video, put the reel together. And I was talking to the boss. Your husband, Ash, and he wasn't into the idea about taking them all to Vegas. He would love to. It's just money. Yeah, it's just money. I just did some quick math, 630,000 tickets sold to see the Backshare Boys.

Imagine how much they're getting, because I think the tickets are about 200 each minimum New Zealand dollars. So we times that by... Damn. It's expensive because I looked into how much it would cost because I wanted to put together a bit of a proposal. Are you going to surprise me for my birthday? No, definitely not. I can't afford that. But, you know, to put it to the boss.

Under 26 million ticket sales. Yeah. So... How many times do you reckon the other members of InSink? emailed or direct message Justin Timberlake before they stopped asking him about and saying I reckon they had a yearly remind

and one person had to do it every year so every four years Joey Fetone would have to email JT. Apparently they don't make as much touring now I saw an interview with Teddy Swims just yesterday and he was asked in Australia where he's now how much he makes for his touring

I was like oh weird question and he was like he didn't make a profit to this year he was like last tour which he went was here, I think, last year or the year before, he didn't make any profit from it. That's why if you love an artist, you have to buy their merch

because that's the only way they make money, as you guys. It's because in the beginning, the label is just funneling cash into making them a star. So at the time they start touring, for the first year, they're just recuperating all their expenses. He's referred to his job as a business, and he has to pay all

his staff, obviously, like the musicians and stuff. And travel costs us through the roof. Everything is just more expensive now, but ticket sales comparatively with five years ago aren't any more expensive. No point even been to pop star then. Seriously. Just forget it.

And like you make no money off the streams. Yep. It's hard work, that's for sure. People think that they could just be, have a good voice to make money. It's like radio. People think this is easy. I don't know,

Justin Nipia's got a pretty big house. He's a musician. Yeah, I made $12 on Spotify last year. Don't worry about it. That's not including the touring he's doing. Yeah, all of it, constantly. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Insink.

It's going to be me, us versus the playlist. the playlist won this morning, although Genuine. We didn't put up a fight though. Nah. Dan did, after we started playing in Sex, saying Genuine could have actually got to play today. How old? We was born in 1975, so what's he? 40? No, 50.

25 and 25, yeah. Yeah, 50. The big 5-0, and we didn't play as tune. Do you know what that lyric is? Do you know the lyric of that? Yeah, right at my pony. What's his thing before that? No, I don't know.

Jump on it, let's do it. If you're horny. Oh. Then he goes, jump on it after that. He had a couple of other, well, you call them B-Side tracks, but people just think it was a one-hit wonder. Yeah. Oh, that's a good song.

He definitely had the like bedroom playlist. Yeah, I miss that. Get in your jeans. Are you down? I miss the sexy slow jams of the late 90s, early 2000. Sexy R&B. That was the time, man It was genuine

There was the It was so many Even like Usher, Boys to Men Remember that all for one song And I swear I swear Yeah, Casey and Joja Can you just

Can you just play the start Of either Brian McKnight back at one Oh yeah Brian McKnight Or Casey and Jojo Oh my time They two are dangerous When you get talking about This sort of stuff

Because you go off on a tangent And I'm like I have to bring you back in I'm like What have we got in here. On the back at one? Or all my life.

Just the starting, like, 10 seconds. Yes, I do. I do. I do. Do have it. Oh my God. My hands just slowly start falling down when I hear this music. Yeah. But he was more sexy rather than, say,

Genuine was more like, um, provocative. More like a Sabrina Carpenter. But this was like baby-making music. Too slow for me. I like a bit of a faster beat. This is more like, this is music put on if you really like liked her. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Whereas, you know, genuine, I think it's more like, just down for that night. Maybe put Brian McKnight on for the four-play stuff and then migrate some pony artwork. Hey, Dan could put together like a whole play-by-play of how to get them in the mood. It wouldn't really be a playlist. It would just be two songs.

And done. while we made the crescendo songs like all right all finish time to leave now Scrillix Bag rang And you're just dabbing Yeah

Guys I saved a life yesterday Can I just quickly before we move on Why have we not talked about that We're talking about between you one for ages You know hedgehogs how when you see them during the day It's not a good thing You know like Are they nocturnal?

Yeah they're nocturnal So generally when you see a nocturnal animal out during the day There's something wrong And there was a hedgehog on our front driveway, darling little thing. And I was like, Hannah, what do we do? And we did some Googling. And it was like, if you see them out during the day, they're not well, get them help.

And so we go great. I've just Googled that. And what is said help? So apparently there was, I googled it. And up on the north shore of Auckland, there's a hedgehog woman, old woman. And she does birds, she does hedgehogs, I think lots of different marsupials. And I put them in Kimmy's cage, put the head. Hedgehog in Kimmy's cage and took him up to...

Not with Kimmy. Not with Kimmy. Up to this woman. Kimmy's his cat. And she was, you has dedicated her life to saving animals. Like one of the most incredible women I've ever met. And she, like, she opened the front door of her house. I'm picturing her house is like the shape of a toad still.

Yeah. No, it was just a normal, like, flat, connected to another house. Nightmare if you were the other people lived in the other house. Filled with animals. Little birds, like black birds, to-ies. Alive? alive that she's like recuperating and bringing back to life and hedgehogs incredible woman wow so she took the hedgehog yeah and what will she do like bring it back to health and then

release it she was sort of a bit pissed off she seemed a bit like annoyed but i got you dropped another animal off her daughter yeah she was like yeah i'll take her but jessica do you know her lovely yeah so so she's like a legend on the north shore and she she's been doing that since i was a kid i grew up on the north shore and we would take i've taken countless bloody seagulls and sparrows and penguins and shit to the bird lady. Everyone knows the bird lady. She's like, someone else missed help. I moved to West Auckland.

She was stoked because I stopped taking her stuff. Yeah. The North Shore Bird Lady. Yeah, she's incredible. I can't remember her name, but obviously she's a well-known identity. She adds her name. A North Shore Bird Lady. And she took one look at their hedgehog.

She was like, had a six-cent and she was like, he'll be fine. I'm regretting us not taking that Seagull in high school to her then because I remember core memory, Fraser was like, do you reckon I could hit that seago with an apple? And we were like, no, not a chance. It was quite a distance. Oh, my God. Was the Seagull flying or stationary? Stationery.

It started to lift off mid-throw, because obviously it sensed the apple coming, but it hit it. What a perfect story. Alice, like, took the Sego to this lady, but obviously not your lady because Sego didn't make it. Oh my gosh. That's horrible.

Yeah. That is cool memory stuff. Yeah, you're right. And it's like, of all the things you remember in high school, I never forgot Fraser Killing and Sego. I can't remember Pythagris theorem. Jesus. That's horrific.

I've never thrown, like, that Seagull never stood a chance. All righty, there. Okay, we'll move on. All right, next first call of the day. That's funny. I wait under the edge. If you wanted to be you, we'll see you out of the voucherick has spent in store at Z. Clint, Megadale.

So my daughter named him Mr. Cuddles. Mr Cuddles. Lovely. So sweet. Rabbits are lovely, aren't they? I went to the Kiwi Valley Farm over the weekend where your son had his birthday party. Went back there. because my son loved it.

And that you can hug rabbits and rats and stuff there. Didn't really like the rat, because he started climbing up me up in the chest. But the rabbits were just... And Georgie liked the rabbit? He was a bit sort of... He sort of walked off and I was left with the rabbit. I had like a bluey black dwarf rabbit growing up and I called him Rainbow. And everyone goes, oh, do you mean Rambo?

Because I guess he was in the cinemas at the time. And I was like, who the hell is that? Rambo is a great name for a rabbit. No, I know. It would have been great. You've always been an ally for the LGBTIQI community clip. Even since I was a young age. Bethany, have you been listening to The Edge for a while? My love, are you a new kind of listener?

No, I listen every morning on my commute to work and school. That means a lot to us. Thank you so much for listening, babe. And you and I are both the same star signs, Sedgos, a couple of sedgies.

We're going to get a voucher out here to spend in Soura Zid, or whatever your heart desires. Oh, beautiful. Thank you. No, and thank you for listening, babe. We appreciate it.

The Clint McG and Dan podcast. Gossiper Entertainment. Scandal. Did you guys ever see the film Something's Got to Give with Jack Nooks, Nicholson, Diane Keaton? Probably one of my top five. Me too. I've never seen it. You would love it, Clint.

You would absolutely love it. Well, the last recommendation you gave me was great. Was that Notting Hill? Notting Hill, yeah. And I watched that only like last week or something. So I'm going to write it down in my movies to watch. Can you watch it this weekend? Watch it with Jamie.

You can even probably watch it with the kids. I mean, they wouldn't like it. It's a similar ilk to Notting Hill in the way that it's got quite serious undertones and there's a good bit of drama in it. But at the same time, man, there's some laugh out loud moments. Diane Keaton is and was just an absolute force of nature on screen. What was it called? Something's got to give.

So the premise of the film, and this is no spoilers, is that this young hottie has an older boyfriend, and they haven't done the deed yet, but they rock up to her mum's beach house in the Hamptons for a weekend away, and her mum is home. And they're like, oopsies. And then the older boyfriend, played by Jack Nicholson, has a heart attack.

And he's forced to recover at this holiday home. With his girlfriend, who eventually has to go back to work, and his girlfriend's mother, Diane. It's so good. It's so good. Well, it's not even a love triangle. The love triangle actually is between Diane Keaton, Jack Nicholson and Keanu Reeves.

He plays the young doctor. I love... It's so good because you're like, you're like, oh, she needs to move to Keanu because he's so hot. But the electricity between Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton is just palpable. Is that an MMF love triangle?

Are you only like it once two girls? I'm just saying I'm just trying to make sure I understand. understand the movie. Well, Keanu Reeves and Jack Nicholson don't pash. Okay, right, okay. It's a love triangle in that, like, the girl has to choose between two guys. Yeah, yeah, they're not all, like, having sex.

Oh, you would. No one's bidding against Keanu Reeves got a bit. But that's the thing. When you watch this film, that's the magic of it. Is it the electricity between Diane and Jack is so heavenly to watch? I reckon it's one of the best on-screen chemistries in history. I agree. When he cuts the turtleneck of her.

Oh, so good. Keanu Reeves must have zero game if he's losing to Jack. He's playing a character. Jack has so much gain. That's the whole thing. He's a playboy, Jack Nicholson, who just has young hot models dating different hot model every week. And he's like, I can't fall for a woman my age.

That's the whole premise. Okay. So Keanu Reeves, this is a week on from less than a week on from Dian's and very, very sad passing. Kianu is on Colbert, and this is the first public statement. he's made about Diane's passing. Do you have a memory you could share of Diane Keaton and shooting this with her before we go?

We all know what an extraordinary, unique, special person and artist, Diane is, was, and is. It was cool for me. I got to shoot a scene. Nancy Myers directed, but it was Diane and Jack Nicholson at a table in a restaurant in Paris

and just watching those two legends. Not only act, but insult each other. like you know she was almost like the same thing that she did to you which was just like you know she would turn a jack you're just up and you know you're just a blah blah blah blah blah and he would just be like yeah you dirty man and they're just grinning but they're just insulting each other with love i just checked it out if you do want to watch it in new zealand the only place you can rent it is apple tv but there are no streaming options currently available it's worth of seven bucks or whatever you'll it'll blow your mind it's so good

Imagine being in a room with those two just work in their magic. Like two of the greatest film stars of all time. You'd be so, like, nervous, even if you're Keanu Reeves, because he's not famous for his acting skills. But those two are. Imagine when Jack Nicholson dies. I know. Well, he's a bit of a recluse.

No one knows how well he is, or so he just stays in his house. Who do you think is the next celebrity death that if, and I mean, like, not young people. I mean, like, 70 plus. I keep saying David Ambrough, but he's just hanging in it. Yeah, well, all of us. Isn't it David Ambrough like 101? He's 99, I think. Yeah, it's crazy.

David seems like a safe bit, but honestly, the amount of times he'll prove you wrong and someone else will beat him to it. Yeah. But who's like the actor or actress that it's like, man, if and when that happens? I think Jack Nicholson will be one of them for me. Clint McGinn's stinky.

And once a week, we rifle through Dan's Google Search History. What's in Dan's? Google History. Isn't sexy, isn't weird? Well, it's all the great big mystery. Who sings that? AI. It's an AI.

Shut up. I was hoping you weren't going to say that. It was a lovely voice. I didn't take me long to get much action from his Google history today. I'd say I had his phone in my hand for one minute, Max. Have we got to the point now where we're just like, oh, yeah, Dan's a bit weird. Let's stop going through his history. I don't think we need to.

If you don't want to do it, Dar. You can say, we don't want to force you to do anything. I just worry that people listening are just going, oh, God. No, you just keep coming through with the goods, baby, and that's why we love you. Is Kermit the Frog voiced by John Travolta? Now there's an explanation to that because I do impersonation of both. And Hannah, my wife, goes,

Cost of Brazilian butt lift. Why is it called a Brazilian butt lift? You get done some rabbit holes, eh? Because I was looking, I couldn't remember Nicky Menage's name, and I knew she had a, I googled it and I googled it and I said wrapper with big butt and she instantly came up answered my question and then it said that her bottom isn't natural she'd got it from a Brazilian butt lift I didn't even know that was a thing and she went to Brazil BBL and they butt lifted her butter

Oh, wow. but you guys are so famous so this week on the pod we do Frozen right so everything we can learn about love from the movie Frozen and we took out some really great life lessons it's very deep but part of the discussion was um a big question about who the hottest cartoon characters are now as heterosexual women we've done hottest male characters and this is the discussion that we had who are the hottest male cartoon characters I had Aladdin Aladdin was the OG Lee Shang who I actually don't think I've even seen this movie, but we Google the pictures. Yes, in Milan. Go and Google immediately.

He's so hot. Tarzan, in the OG Tarzan, because I do love a man with long hair, obviously. Mufasa. Mufasa. Very hot for a lion. Solid. In control. I think Mufus is definitely the hottest of all of them.

And if you want to get around the podcast, and please do, because I'm, need the money. Text to Ash to 33443. And you know what?

This is a very important conversation to be having. I've given this a lot of thought and I've come up with two of my most favourite, sexy cartoon characters. Can I guess what one of them is? Jessica Rabbit? She'd be top five. She's not my top two. Who's hotter than Jessica Rabbit? I take you Jessica

Rabbit and I raise you the saucy minks Pocahontas. She's very sensitive. Yeah, she's always running around the bush with her loincloth, teasing you. Wait, I know. I know. wasn't teasing anyone. She went and... You'll never get this? No, she...

No, she went and had her own private shower in the lake or bath in the lake and that dude showed up. Yeah, and he was like, Mm-mm. Have you ever heard the wolf cried to the blue corn moon? That's what she sings and she looks into her reflection. Incredible voice. Thank you. And then... Is it corn moon?

I thought it was horn. Blue horn. No, it's the corn moon because it looks like corn. Is it? Anyway. Number one. Is it like anime or something? The little tart. control yourself that little tart Nala from the Lion King

Oh, okay So I had more faster You had Nala, okay She's gorgeous for a lion Growing up Nala by the way You know when she's like Simba sees her again after all those years And she's like

Come on, just stop Pump, a big thrusting door Actually she gets really angry at Simba Because he's like thrown away his responsibilities His King But isn't that hot But she's like I don't need no man

No, she does. She's literally like, come back with me. Yeah, she's like, we need you. She makes him chase her through the waterfall. Oh my God. And he's like, come back here, babe. Dan hasn't even taken any sort of. She's like flashing her booty at him.

Dan's forgot the storyline. He just remembers the waterfall. She literally goes and goes, I'm not going back without you. Really? She pretty much, she, if we were going to redo it in 2025, she'd sing, come be the man I need. Yeah, she would. She would.

It's a perfect song. What about you, Clinton? There's only two. A little mermaid. She's half fish. She knows if she gets legs, doesn't she? She lives as a human at the end of the movie. Yeah, but her legs would still smell a bit fishy

because they were a fin once. Some people are into that. A little mermaid and Jasmine. Jasmine. From Aladdin. Like she's top five all day. And she's ethnically ambiguous as well. Yeah, she comes from money.

Another great voice too, Jasmine. Yeah, yeah. Incredible singers. Okay, so we've got some great examples there. But we want to know. She's brim and proper, but she's also running around the streets. That's why. She's a lady in the street, but a freaking a bit.

Another also mentioned Tinkerbell with her short dress. Like when she's flying, if you looked up while she's flying, you could see what she had for breakfast, I reckon, with that dress. Oh, my gosh. She's feisty too. Yes, she was. 3, 3343, you can send her to text. I'll give us a call in 0800.

Who are the hottest cartoon characters? All the sluggiest ones. Mulan. She was lovely. Mulan is stunning. And she can fight. But Mufasa's number one. And on Ash's podcast, Hopeless, Romantics,

which you can get the link for just by texting Ash to 33443. You were talking sexy cartoon characters, and for you, it's this guy. Everything the light touches is our kingdom. I am your father. James, you know, Mufasa. He's so sexy. A lot of feedback on this. Everybody has an opinion on the hottest cartoon characters.

Strangers of which comes from friend of the show, Hayden Allen, who has said, the green Eminem. Mint chocolate, Eminem. premiums, premiums, premium chocolate infused with the cool intensity of mint. Oh. She's pretty sexy. Hayden's talking about.

Yeah, but when push comes to shove, she's just an M&M though, isn't she? You know? Like, you can't really do much with the shape. Okay. Do you know who we haven't thrown out? Meg from Hercules. Like the, she's kind of bad,

and she has bad intentions for Hercules, but damn. Let me have Google her. I mean, she's not famous enough. I've already Googled her, there you go, Ash. She's hot. Yeah, I've got her hair here. Cinderella was really good. She got good boobies.

She could run in heels too, Cinderella. She could be a good thing about her. She called very talented. Bridges Carl? No, well, two things. First of all, like, we're getting a lot of texts in, but all you creeps don't want to answer when I try and call you back. Secondly, no one's brought up Lola Bunny.

Oh, you? No, I literally... He was just talking about Lola Bunny. Were you? During the One Direction time, because she's also sporty. And I find that really attractive. So hot. That's from Space Jam.

Yeah. I think Lola Bunny is based on Jessica Rabbit. But she's a bit too promiscuous for me. Are you like a nice girl? How about Ursula from, you know, if you wanted a little bit bigger busted lady? She's like a badass lady. Yeah, a bit of an older woman. Yeah, we don't want to yuck anyone's down.

There's someone for everyone. She has two forms as well. She takes two forms in that movie. She is hot as a blackhead aerial. Is it she run? She run? She ran? She ran?

Sheeran. From Christchurch. Maybe we're saying it wrong. Yeah. And for your name, sounds like Shiran. Oh, yeah, that's me. How do you say your name, sorry? Sorry, Sharon.

Exactly as we were saying. Yeah, so you're just dead. Who's the hottest cartoon character? Tuxedo mask from Sailor Moon. Oh, that's, yeah. Taxedo mask. Flash back to the 90s. He was so cool.

I mean, Sailor Moon is. was not was a bit easy on the eye as well wasn't she gorgeous yeah tuxedo mask yeah they all weren't yeah and now i think because of k-pop um men who look like tuxedo mask are the new like hotties of the 2020s my daughter she's 10 yeah she just discovered because obviously she loves k-pop demon hunters and the sager boys she's discovered the bts are like the real life that's a live human version of the sager boys and she was like oh my gosh that look how hot those guys are they're so Excuse me?

Good on her. She's happening. It's starting, babe. It's not. It's not. Martin's called through. Morning, Martin. Morning, morning.

You've said that Tinkerbell is a real Karen. What does that mean? Not hot. Yeah, she's a feisty little one. I always wants to see the Maddie Jail. So who in your mind is would be like the hottest cartoon character? Oh, and I was a kid, definitely from Scooby-Doo. Oh, is she even nerdy?

Yeah, but that's good. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. No, not the nerdy one. The other, Fred's girl. Oh, that's not Daphne. No, the blonde one. Oh, hold on. Blonde one.

What was her name? Daphne. You're right, no. Velma was the nerd. Daphne is the hottie. Yeah. Yeah, I take it back. You're right, you're right.

What about Tarzan? No one's thrown out Tarzan. It was ripped. Yeah, and he's got long hair, and I love a man with long hair. Yeah, and, you know, he could fight. He was also very gentle A couple of people have said I can't have been think of this

Bandit, the dad from Bluey Oh yeah he's hot He's a real larrikin As we'd say in Australia And a few other mentions Misty from Pokemon Kim Possible has come through a couple of times Who's Kim Possible?

She's maybe a bit too young For your age group But she was Yeah she's been around For a few years now Robocop Now I didn't think he was a cartoon And he's also half robot

But weird It's okay. In the world of AI, lots of people having sex with robots at the moment. Some people are even vibing Shrek. As I said, there's someone for everyone. Yeah, all right. Well, if you want to hear more around that conversation and others like it, it just takes Ash to 3-3-4-3.

Or just look up hopeless romantics. Like, it's just as easy, isn't it? Yeah, just go to Spotify. There's video podcast now, so you can, if you ever wondered what we look like. Yeah. You get to see Ash and all her glory. Yeah, I get my boobs out on the podcast. Edge Arvo's have their 24-hour pocket.

You've got to do it somehow, don't you? Clint, Megan Dan. Tomorrow evening, 5 o'clock Thursday, the Edge Arvo's team, Sean Stephen Harrison, are going to be kicking off 24 hours of non-stop chat with the Brocka 24-hour interview. And they've got a lot of people already in the bag ready to interview.

A lot of A-listers, a lot of New Zealand celebrities, a lot of international celebrities. But I think they could always do with more. Yeah, and on Monday, I think it was earlier this week, Dan said he had a bunch of contacts and we randomly started dialing a few. Turns out Dan has a lot of celebrity in his phone

but maybe not necessarily with their updated contact number. Oh, have you got Sean Johnson's number? Yes, I do, but I think it's an old number. Oh, punch it in and let's see. Let's just call calling right now. Okay, I'm got dialing it. Don't, please don't. I don't like this. The person you're calling cannot be reached at this time.

Oh. I think you might have a new number. Justinda Rajurn. Got her number. Yeah. Call it. Don't. Okay.

Don't. I hate... Let's just see if it breaks. Okay. Okay. Oh, my God. I knew he would have. She's just got it off.

She's flying somewhere. Okay. Well, it turns out, because I was a producer a few years ago, and so as a producer, you need to keep contact lists, you know, because you never know when you might need someone. What if all these people have just blocked your number? I don't know. I mean, there's a chance, Ash. but I've always treated my contacts with great, great respect. You haven't done late-night drunken calls to Shawno or Justenda?

Not often. Not often. It's always a flex to be like I'll just call my mate, John Key, ex-prime minister or something like that. Why don't we try this one? Timuetta Morrison. Oh, yeah, a friend of the show. He's been on a couple of times. He normally only comes on when he's got a movie that to promote.

But you never know. I just come in to say hi. We might get him at like a moment where he's just accidentally answers, you know. Okay. Oh, it is ringing at least. I killed a timbreed a year He didn't name the number and I'll get right back

Thank you Oh my God, he doesn't Timurita Morrison's number But he's screening me He's screening me I respect that he's screening you Okay Okay, who else he got?

Okay, should we try ex-prime minister John Key Go on me Oh God You know what He was very good He was one of the best prime ministers. He just give across his number.

Yeah, so we'll give him a call. So he should. He works for us. Well, worked for us. That might have been his parliamentary phone. Your call has been forwarded to voicemail. The person you're trying to reach is not available. He's changed it. They all screamed.

Dan, they've literally blocked him because of how many times he's probably called them in the past. What about the guy that played Gimley in the Lord of the Rings, John Reese Davies? Sure. Go on. He's over two. He gets one more swing. I don't know if he's... you have my axe

no he's gone you don't even have his number alone as axe we don't normally do strike four but we'll give you one last chance and we want you to win what about Tammy the briskos lady the briskos lady is already part of the 24 hour

interview I saw her on the line up Winston Peters do we go Winston Peters go on just see if you've even got his right number okay your call has been Okay, we're done.

Sorry, Janjamas, we cannot help you, really. Dan's contact list cannot. Clint, Megan Dan. And our Webgirl Bella, who just had a birthday recently, is 25 now, yeah? Yeah, 25. Maldivesy. Webgill Bella gets quizzed once a week on things that happened outside of her generation as we try to school her up.

She gets a perfect score, never has to play again. To date, that has not happened. Might today. Maybe she loves doing it, so she purposefully fails every week. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, you know, you've known everything.

Okay, let's get into. Question one. Yeah, question one, it's an easy one to start. What Disney movie is the song from? Just look at the world on wrong. Right here on the ocean floor. Dancing. Moana?

Oh my God. Bella, come on! Moana isn't even our generation, it's your generation. Oh my God. I've just realized what it is now. The little roommate. Yes, okay. You got Trigger happy on that.

You table with your card. The thing is, Bella, we put that, we knew that you would hopefully answer that. correctly. But I kind of did, so I just give it to me. Obviously, I'm going to give it to her. Moana's not even under the sea. She sails most of the movie. I think she does a bit of swimming. Hey, we'll give it to her. We'll give it to her just for the process. Yeah, for the nerves.

Taking it off. One point on the board. Next question. I need you to think, because I don't know all the words. Okay. Sean Fitzpatrick, Zinzan Brook, and Andrew Mertons were all what? Characters. Yeah, what did they do? Hey, stop mouthing me out to Ashland No, Ash is already given her a freebie on question one

Now she's mouthing answers She's leading the witness Uh, black caps She just saw you say blacks No, she was mouthing all blacks That's teach you for cheating Okay, so we'll give you It's one from two so far

And the one is questionable All right, what show is this the theme song too? Yes Oh This sounds like cooking Ready Steady Cook You're getting to get fixed up with ready steady cook Yeah

So it's not Master Chef No no no no That is cooking right there I love this game so much Oh my goodness I just I can't help you don't Here's a good one

Here's this song here So come on Kids It's called I'll give you that That features Kylie Minogue singing with which other male singer. Ash is going to have to leave the studio.

He may as well just pass her the answers. She's still not getting them even when I mouth them to her. I would argue you've got none so far. Oh. Kids are wrong right. You need a male pop star. Charlie going to go to sing to nickel back,

but it's not a hand. Chad Kroger? Nope. We're looking for Robbie Williams on that one. Yes. I got to think of them. for you so much, but I'm so disappointed in you. Not when I play this game.

We even got Bella's dad on once to help, so we had two different generations but they still didn't... If she gets this one, I'll be very... I mean, I'll give her $1,000. Okay, we left this one to happen. Oh, a thousand dollars! This is no way she's going to get it. Oh, the hardest one went last. Here we go

for a thousand bucks. She's not going to get it. My money is safe. I'm ready. Okay, I'd imagine you don't earn very much. No, go, go. Okay, so this would mean a lot to you A lot. Okay? For $1,000.

From Asch's wallet. From Ashes' money. Which is nothing for her, by the way. True. Name this iconic TV character. Did I do that? Did I do that? Did I do that?

Steve, Eiffel. Oh my God. Oh my God. You never get it. A thousand dollars is coming from Ashes. It's a rare condition. This day and age. Time to read in a good news.

Nicole. It's Ohio Mary. It's not I know. It's been a good one of that. Some people say it's been a hard to say. You're going to have to say that. Do you see? You're John's to play easy money in 15 minutes. Congratulations, fellas.

We're sad. There's jizzle wall. I'm rich. Wow. It's all I see is a towel of dreams. You know, listen if you know the one. Every scene. The only idiot is.

The only idiot here was Ash. It's the bigger. Melvin' that answer. I'm a dear. Bitch. Clint. Megan Dan. Scandal. A scandal.

Quite a scandal. Scandal with Ash London. So Sia has recently divorced, well, she's in the process of divorcing from her husband. And given that she's a celebrity and documents get filed like in L.A. and like whatever,

it becomes public. That or TMZ is able to, like, has an inn. and they just get documents, but I think it's kind of public. GMZ, eh? Yeah. He has requested $250,000 US dollars

a month in spousal support. So that's not child support. Quarter of a million bucks a month, so $3 million a year, 10% of her net wealth a year. Yeah, just, and he's arguing that we were used to a certain lifestyle, and now that we've broken up,

and I don't have an income. Yeah, but that income came from her. And you're not with her anymore, so you're not entitled to that lifestyle anymore. So he was a doctor and he gave up being a doctor three years ago to start a ketamine clinic. Brilliant. Which now, I believe, shut down.

But I think he could just go back to work, couldn't he? Yeah. Doctors don't earn, like, they're in good money. Again, when you have kids, it's different because it's like you can't have kids having this, like, stink povo time with mum or dad and then having this crazy lifestyle on a super yacht with the other parent. Yeah.

They did adopt a baby last year. I think he's 18, called Somersault. 18 months old. But still, I think, to your point, Clint, I mean, $250,000 a month, I reckon you could live pretty comfortably for a year on that and not have a povo life. Yeah, it feels like, I mean, yeah, the whole,

you've become accustomed to a lifestyle thing. I think there is an argument in it. I just think the number that he's found is a little bit obscene. Yeah, it's great. I mean, and she is worth, like, in the scheme of things, yes, a lot of money, $35 million. But not enough to be giving away two, $150k a month.

Yeah. She's pretty much requested that the judge denies it altogether and she pays him nothing. Yeah. Oh, really? So we'll see how it pans out.

Even if he says, okay, no, you can pay 30% of that should be happy. I wonder what the pre-up is if you're a normie and you meet someone with 30 mil because also, as a couple, you will accumulate wealth together.

Yeah. So how do you judge how much wealth you've accumulated together or how much wealth they've just continued to accumulate because they see her. Because I assume they would, of course, they would have had a pre-up.

Yeah. given that she's so famous. Has he seen her face? See her mega, Dad. Seen her truth colors now. I'll be like it's either $250K or you show everyone your face. A different way for you to play Easy Money this morning. Coming up at 8 o'clock, normally we have your cue to call in five minutes.

Okay, next on the show, Dan is finally letting the cat out of the bag. He's been sitting on The Secret for 24 hours. Yeah, there is a Postcode playlist, which we're going to be releasing tomorrow, and it has got the biggest guest celebrity singer on it ever. We've had borderline before New Zealand artists. Yeah, yeah. This is international. You've had Clint and I on it.

Yeah, well, I wouldn't say they're celebrities. That's our song, guys. That is. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Man I need. God, it's such a good song, that one. That's so good. So catchy.

The Grammy nominations are coming out soon and that song makes it in the... It came out like two weeks before the end of August, which is the cutoff. So I don't know if it's going to pop off or not because I really thought she'd be up for album of the year and maybe she will in next year because she was in 2026s.

But man I need came out maybe to be up for, you know, record or song of the year, who knows. All right, finally Dan is going to let us in on the secret he's been keeping from us all. Postcode play list. From the tip of Cape Rieanger down to the dirty deep south of bluff, no town is safe. This is your postcode playlist.

Yeah, for the last six months or so, we've been putting together songs for different places around New Zealand, fully original songs, most of them. Well, you know, there's other people that have been involved. Borderline, Kiwi band, one of them. They did the one for the North Shore. You guys have been involved for Clinton and Ash. And also, you provide a lot of the lyrics as well,

which then Dan has to magically sort of craft into some sort of rhyming sequence. Yeah, a lot of these places I've never been before. you need a little bit of knowledge inside of knowledge from people that live there. Have you been to Napier? Have been to Napier. Beautiful. Lovely place.

I've also been to Nelson, where is... Sorry, yeah, that's what we're actually doing, isn't it? Yeah. Hey, I've lived here for less than a year. I'm catching up. This place, no one is sunny Nelson. The sun always shines. It's actually the only place that I've holiday

where my wife has gone. You know what? I could live here. It's beautiful down here. It's like she's thought about moving. Everywhere I've ever traveled. I'm like, I could live here. Yeah.

Looking at real estate. The difference this week, though, is I've managed to secure. Do I just go out and say it? I'll give you a drum roll if you want. I think it's worthy of one. It better be, it better be someone crap, or I'll storm me out of this joint. International superstar. Teddy Swims is going to be on the time.

Hello, hello. Now, I interviewed him the other day. On Thursday, I managed to interview T. Swims backstage at his concert. And I thought, I'm just going to. I'm going to ask the question. You've got to shoot your shot, babe. If anyone's going to do his teddy, he's the nicest dude. And we brood down a lot of times, and he always says yes.

We've asked a lot of him over the years. And so at the end of the interview, I got what I needed, I asked him the question. Before you go, I've got a request of you. So we do this thing on our show called Postcode playlist, where we do a song each week for a place around New Zealand. Now, there's a place called Nelson in New Zealand. We've got a lot of fans there. And I was wondering if you could sing a couple of lines for the song. Are you allowed to sing or are you on both of the rest?

So I've got the backing track. I'll give you some headphones. Okay. It's just the first verse. So it goes, Nelson, Sonny. Singing for Teddy. Nelson. It's incredible.

So that's all I'm going to play for you now because after that I sort of showed him through the song. Yeah. He listened to the backing and he nailed it straight away, just from me giving him a little bit of a tip. How does his vocal sound? Incredible. Oh, wait. I'm very proud of you for singing in front of Teddy Swims.

I know. I sort of felt bad like giving him... But I didn't have much time, so I needed to show him kind of how the melody goes. So you were almost like a vocal coach for Teddy Swims. I know. And he was kind of like, shut up, bro, I can do it. And he did a duet with Teddy Swims.

Pretty much. So Teddy Swims tomorrow is going to be singing about Nelson on the Paiscove playlist. Yes. How good. We've got a lot of work to do to put the song together. We haven't put it together. We're doing it after the show today,

but Teddy's vote, but I know that Teddy's vocals will be incredible and he's going to do Nelson proud. So exciting. All right, we'll debut at the same time. You don't want to miss it. Yeah, around 8 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Teddy swims, featuring Dan Webbie, postcode playlist for Nelson. Come on, baby. Good job, Dan. Good job. And I'll say this. His voice is just as good,

if not better live. Like when you're in the room with him singing. He gets no special help from machines. Dan and I have been arguing behind the scenes for the last 48 hours about how myself and Meg spend our money. And he thinks we are the only two people in New Zealand that are spending our money on this one thing. I love to spend money.

I wonder if I spend money this way, too. I'll wait to find out. This will make you livid. It will be the state of the world right now and you find out what they're spending money on. Okay. Nightmare. No, someone has to.

Clint. We live in a world where there's a lot of unrest at the moment, isn't there? There's a lot of people that are living it hard and living it tough at the moment. And, Ash, I just want to ask you a question first before we go to the accused here, Clinton Randall and his friend Meg Mansell, both close friends of mine. Name some charities that you'd love to donate to or do donate to. I donate to Red Cross for Gaza, obviously. I donate to that's it.

so like but for me it's like children affected by war famine oh and also like um the for like kids in New Zealand that need money for food very good charity very good charity mainly are kids food poverty yeah kindness collective is a great one actually they do like Christmas presents love that for like families that kind of and they literally just shop and they get tokens so it looks like they feel like they're still shopping but no money is exchanged it's all donation now here's a follow a question for you ash how far down the list is Wikipedia on the donations. No, no, no, no, it's not a charity, my dad.

You use it? I use a lot of things that I don't give money to. To be honest, I didn't even realise that Wikipedia was a charity, but apparently it is. International non-profit organisation. Yeah, but they're not doing anything. Wikipedia is people, like, it's people run, not accompaniment. It's a people add to it themselves. It's crowdsourced.

It's crowdsourced. So why would I be giving them money? They're not passing it on to the people who are actually helping them. Exactly. Before ChatGBT, GBT, you would have used Wikipedia and your job every day almost. Okay, and if the money that I'm giving goes to the people that are actually bringing the facts, yes, but it's not. Well, unfortunately for us, Ash, two of the people that work on the show, the beautiful and incomparable Meg Mansell who joins us on the line right now. She loves it.

Yeah, she's giggling away. And Clinton Randall, who also works on the show. This is surprising to me, guys. Privileged money. They could be giving it to kids. They could be giving it to orphan. First of all, let's not judge anyone for how they spend their money. Thank you.

That's a very privileged position, a bit judgey, judgy. Thank you. But at the same token, what the hell, guys? I mean, Meg knows it grates, Dan, to no end. That's what, like, of why? It's the only reason. It's the only reason because it wants you up so much. So I donate every year.

Yeah, no, but you could be using. How much are you donating every year? $2.75. Okay. Oh, that's right. I don't. Okay, Meg. I drop about a 20 each year.

year. And I thought if everyone did a 20 each year. It sounds like it's now three against one on the $20 a year. It says here. Meg got the email and she sent it to me and it says,

Hi Meg, please don't skip this one minute read. You've donated once, thank you. It makes you one of the rare exceptions who chooses to support a project that's helpful to everyone on the planet. We know that as a supporter, you deserve an explanation and we rely on people like you to keep Wikipedia independent

and ad-free. And we don't have any other major sources of funding. This is why we're reaching out to you again. I didn't realize that Wikipedia was struggling. I really didn't. I think we could do without Wikipedia. Yeah, but there's no ads in Wikipedia. Isn't it refreshing to go to a website? There's no pop-ups.

And you're using it and free things to people like Meg and I. But it's not high on my priority list. You know, like I'm not a big charity giver. I'll admit that and I probably should give more. But it would be... Shock. Who's the charity? The charity's me, I believe you said. Well, I've said that once out of context, yes. But I would say if I was

going to donate to a charity, Wikipedia wouldn't even cross my mind, and I reckon there's no one listening right now, apart from you too. Wait, wait, hold on a second. If you don't donate to any charity, you don't then get to judge people who do donate. Like, if I was going to donate, which I'm not, it wouldn't be to. So I don't think you've got any skin in the game. I did the half marathon last year, and I raised $72 on that half marathon, and I donated that to a charity. Obviously, you donated it to a charity. I didn't keep any of it. That's actually right. We're being charity shamed, and Dan is the only one that has said this publicly. I don't think we do it for charity. F*** charities. The charity is me.

Now that was, I'm not even going to explain myself. Meg, I think the 275 a year is absolutely fine, babe. I think that's a worthy price. I think that's fair. That's literally, I spend that happily to wind my friend Dan up. That, to me, is absolutely worth a copy. Well, you'll be happy to know I lost sleep over that. That's on you, babe. That is on you, Daniel. if we put it out there, because Dan thinks we're the only two people in New Zealand

who have donated to Wikipedia and we're carrying the flag for anyone else in Altiro that wants to use Wikipedia ad-free. It's all online in your shoulders. No one will call. No, no. There will be because I know I first got trapped because they're really good at their empathetic emails

and I felt bad. So I think there's somebody else out there that also read it and goes, oh, I yell. No, babe. The reason you're getting a personalized email is because you're one of two donors. Yes, exactly. So they can personal and I've got the time. The other one's Clint.

There's no one else. There's rally together. All of us charitable Kiwis who are donating to Wikipedia, time to get out of the woodworks. No one else is going to call. Yeah, it's going to be crickets, babes. All right, let's see. Love you, Meg. We miss you.

Love you guys. Love you, babe. All right, you've got two minutes 30 to call. Put away your humble card. I know you don't normally like to bring it out. You like to give in the darkness. You know where no one can see what your left hand. Your left hand can see what your right hand is done.

More gospel mentions, love it. But right now, we need you to show both hands. No one's calling, Clint. We threw it out there earlier because Dan caught Meg donating to Wikipedia, and I was that, yeah, so do I. Because not everybody does, and some of us need to, to keep it afloat. And Dan said that Meg and I would be the only two people in all of New Zealand that donate to keep Wikipedia ad free for everybody else.

And unfortunately, it is shocking that there is multiple people that have called through in text saying that they also donate to Wikipedia. And look, I regret being on your team on this, Dan, because I think this just shows that the Edgefano are good people. Well, yeah, it does. I'm not saying do it before Save the Children and World Vision and all, and UNICEF and all the other things that my wife and I will donate to. It's just an extra one.

I don't think they should ever be. The list is endless of what you should donate before Wikipedia. Yeah, if this is the only thing in the whole world your day and you're donating to, I'd say you rethink it. But, you know. Jenna, you're one of these people, these scumbags. Jenna, how much you're donating, Dahl? Oh, look, I'm not donating regularly.

There was just one time, before I had kids and I was full-time working, and I donated $10. Because I was like, wouldn't he is great? It helps me with lots of, like, school projects when I was, like, young, young, you know, in primary and things. So, like, why not? Is it that great, though? Because I remember it said under Meg Man,

Ansel's Wikipedia that she was long junk champion and had some of the longest legs of a female ever. She was born with abnormally long legs, but she used her advantage in school and still holds the high jump record to this day. That's not true. No, I did it. Oh, that's cute. See? That's why I said in primary school. I wouldn't have used it in sort of like uni, but, you know. Oh, the lives that's given us. I used it. Thanks, Jenna. Do you know my Wikipedia page got, what's the word, like trolled once? Yeah.

Because I was very pro-Palestine on my social, so someone tried to, like, abuse me on my Wikipedia. But then within hours, another good Wikipedia person deleted it all and re-edited it back to its normal state. Do you know when they say, you reap what you sow? Jenna, I've got to double past the Blackphone, too, which is in cinemas tomorrow. Look at that.

It's coming back to you, babe. Oh, great. Thanks very much. And I'll probably donate again. No, you're hung up on it. I'm hung up on. Yes, he was. people. Okay, who else?

Clive, you've donated $2.50. That's a bit more respectable. What is it? I've donated to quite a few different charities, so... That's good. At least you've donated to other ones. Mary, you're the same. You did $3 in 2020? Yeah. What is it about Wikipedia?

What is it that you love about it then? I think it was, I was again using it for a school project for a child. And, you know, the pop-up just came up. And I thought, why not, considering it's a helpful resource and what do you get free those days? Not a lot, to be honest. It's true. You know, we have great listeners.

And John, you donated a few of a while back for $2.75, but you're ashamed about it, aren't you? Yes. Oh, yes. My wife ripped me for a long time over it. Yeah, yeah. And I hope she's not listening because she will hear me and I will get another ribbing.

Oh, John, you sound like a lovely little wee. Clint's raising his eyebrows as if he might like a rivet for his wife. Hey John, we're actually, everyone else in New Zealand outside of you and Clive and Jenna and myself and Meg, the rest of New Zealand, thank you for making it a service

that is free to them because others, like I stood up and said, will cover the costs. It's like, Dan, do you listen to a busker and enjoy the music and then just walk past? No, I always give a dollar off. As if you do. No, I don't. The people do, they don't they.

Exactly, John. People like you and I have to pay so the others can listen for free. Thanks, John. I think your wife's going to leave you. Someone else has just said, I'm going to choose to donate to Wikipedia just to annoy Dan.

Piss on. Marja, thank you, man. Someone else did the same thing. Just made a donation to Wikipedia well worth it to piss Dan off. I hope that you're doing another equal amount to the kids and the orphans like I do, okay, because I do a lot for them.

That's it. Show me. Your bank, DJs. Don't be the bank account. Oh, you're going to be gutted if you want that. I give them cash. He sends cash in an envelope. Under the table stuff.

Clint, Meg and Dan. Scandal. It's a scandal. Quite a scandal. Scandal. With Ash London. Oh, thanks to Zid. No time for the supermarket.

Zid has your grocery every day, St. Choles. So, uh, we've been talking about it already this week. Hedy Perry, Justin Trudeau, the ex-prime Minister of Canada. Passion on a boat, her yacht, off the coast of California. Everyone's like, okay, well, it's on. Because we saw them having dinner before in Montreal.

People are like, oh, they could just be friends. Yeah. But once you're in a bikini passing on a boat, it's on, baby. I hear his hands all over her booty in those photos. All up in there. And then she was doing a show in London, and a fan said, I thought you were single. And take a listen to the audio.

Oh, sorry, I forgot to check if you had the audio. I'll just explain it to you. She goes to him, you should have asked me 48 hours ago. because then someone proposes to her and she pretty much says too late, babe, I'm off the market. So Justin Trudeau has divorced his wife a couple of years ago and they're still friends. He was hanging out doing Thanksgiving with him over the weekend, all good.

But I kind of, do we feel sorry for the ex-wife given that she's broken up with the Prime Minister of Canada? And neck minute, he's dating arguably one of the most famous sexy women. Do? Because if you put a list of all the people that your ex might date, Katie's not even in a top 1,000. Yeah, she was probably hoping like maybe a connect. an Indian influencer.

But he's Justin Trudeau. He was long known as a hot... He's a hot man. Like leader, wasn't he? Everybody was like, oh, Justin Trudeau, the hot Prime Minister. No one thinks Christopher Luxon's hooking up a Sabrina Carpenter once he gives him and his wife split. That's a bit different.

No, offence to Christopher Luxon, but he's no Trudeau. No, he is. Man, he is punching. Christopher Luxon's wife is... Is she hot? Yeah, she's hot. Nice. He's punching.

You always want to be punching. But Trudeau's hot because it's like his oven will switch it, switching to French? A bilingual. man. Who's the guy equivalent? Like if, let's say, you and your husband break a bash or you listening, you split up with your guy.

Who's the guy equivalent of Katie Perry? Do you know who it is? And we've thought about this all morning and we were throwing names at like Matt Damon. We're like, no, no, no, no, too famous, too universally liked. I think it's Orlando Bloom. It's her ex, is the equivalent of her. Was once very, very famous.

Still famous now, but not as famous as they were. Very good looking. Equal fame, I think it's Orlando Bloom. Really? So it's the equivalent of like, you know, someone else breaking up with their part. Like, who's another couple? Like Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck break up, and then Jennifer Lopez starts studying.

I think if I broke up with Hannah, say, and she started dating Orlando Bloom for want of a better word, I'd kind of just be like, good on you. Yeah, and it'd make you feel good because, well, if that's the standard she's going for, that means I'm as hot as Orlando Bloom. She climbed Mount Cook, me. now she's climbing Everest. You're Mount Cook.

Yeah. You're lucky of you Mount Eden, mate. Hey, hey, hey, hey. I'm Mount Mungerty. That's better. That's better. You know you know.

But here's a chance for us to bring back a game that we've never played with you, Ash, before. It is a little judgy, but people like to play it and they have to put themselves out there if they want to. Cup grade. Or downgrade. You tell us a little bit about your old partner and tell us about your new partner.

We'll tell you. when it comes to what they do for a career. That's generally what we'll base it around. But, yeah, we will then work out whether you've upgraded or downgraded. I think we can all agree in Justin Trudeau. I didn't know his other wife, but it'd be hard to say. He hasn't upgraded with a pop star in Katie Perry. Someone's already texted through Sarah.

Her ex-husband was a truck driver, long haul, and her new husband works in accounting. I'd take the truck driver. Same. Yeah. Oh. Because he's all downgrade. If he's away for long periods of time, you get a bit of time to yourself.

I'm into that. And also, like, a man who can drive a truck. That's hot. Very hard. He can handle a big machine. And he's a long haul truck driver. He'd be a big truck. As opposed to, like, balancing the budget every month.

Boring. Okay, what did your old partner do? And what is your new one do? And we'll work out whether you have recently upgraded or not. It might be a bit savage, but it's the truth. Yeah. Truth hurts, baby. People always come in and try and lead the witness.

My last partner was a drop kick unemployed And my new man We're like, okay, here you go An easy upgrade for you Justin Trudeau, the ex-prime minister of Canada Is now officially, photos are all over the internet of him Making out with Katie Perry With grabbing a bit of booty

On a super yacht And we thought it'd be a nice chance to bring this back Upgrade Or downgrade A lot of people saying is upgrading Katie Perry No offense to his wife, I'm sure she's lovely But I guess she's not an international pop star Worth millions and millions of dollars

A lot of people texting through and calling for this. This person here, she's dating a guy that nurses seagulls back to health. Her ex was a lawyer. Oh, that's a downgrade, I'd say. Downgrade. The seagulls would disagree. Yes, true, but the seagulls are really important part of the circle of life. Are they?

Seagulls. They piss me off. They're just annoying us for fishing chips. I think we could do a little bit less seagulls. Yes. Okay, Amy, good morning. Welcome to Upgrade, Downgrade. Hi.

Hi, okay. Would you like tell us what your ex did and what your new partner does? Yeah, my ex used to, I guess, illegally go on the Benny because he'd technically had an income, but he used to sell steroids to his gym bros. Okay. And he's now on an ankle monitor. Okay. Okay, sounds good.

Well, it's going to have to be a really good new person. Yeah, let's not get ahead of ourselves. What does the new partner do before we can decide? My husband owns a plumbing and drainage business. Oh, it smells like poo. Downgrade. No, he's willing to do the dirty jobs to bring up the money.

Yeah, nice. Good for you, Amy. Yeah, good. Tradies are always pretty rich, hey. Yeah, they've got cash money too. Plummers, I think it's the only, well, it's the number one job that AI isn't going to take. A&I ain't climbing under the house.

That's not getting tampons out of your drains. Exactly. Yeah, Brooke, what's your ex? What was your ex doing, first of all? My ex, I don't know if he still is, but he was a deli worker at Pack and Save. Nothing wrong with it. Did you get free deli meats?

Yeah, true. No. Was he patient? Because sometimes I feel like I get rushed there and I don't really know how many grams I want of what when they approach me? He was a very patient, soft person. Do you have to be patient in the deli?

I've worked in the deli before at countdown and, yeah. What's your new guy do? He's a contract logger. Oh, he's in charge of heavy machinery, cuts trees down. Yeah. Does he wear those, like, leather, big, fat gloves that men wear when they have to handle the trees? No, no, he does it.

Does he shirtless split logs at home in the winter, though? He has one. Okay, come on, baby. That is hot. I'll take a, I'll take a trope of a big log over a slice of a Virginia ham any day. Okay, and finally, Karen, good morning. Good morning

Okay, what did your ex do first of all So I think I had the same ex As someone else with the unemployed drop kick With the ankle bracelet And what does he and how do So he, at the moment he's actually on On ACC for PTSD But in amongst that he drives the truck for doggy daycare

And he also does a day Working with Kaimanawa horses Cute They're both really good for his mental health. Yes. Upgrade. Definitely upgrade. He's taken steps to help his mental health.

He's hanging out with dogs and horses. We love this man. If you've put together a list of things that would fix your mental health, surely hanging out with dogs all day. Like puppies and dogs, it's got to be. It would be probably quite stressful though as well if you've got multiple dogs, I can imagine. We don't know that. He's just driving the trucks.

He's not doing like behavioral therapy with him dogs. Becky's just sex. And how random is this? My ex was an electrician. My current partner is a ship captain who tows icebergs away from rigs. A ship captain. Oh, shit. Yeah.

Upgring. They needed him when in the Titanic days. I'm sure to date a really good captain. But anyway. Old partner was a tractor driver, hot. New partner, helicopter pilot. Upgrine. But high chance of death.

Yeah, although you always just see helicopters crashing online, but they're actually, it's very rare occurrence. You know how Justin Trudeau who sparked all this, the Canadian Prime Minister, who's now at the time. Taylor, I'm sorry, Katie Perry. Is the male equivalent of your girlfriend running off with a male pop star, I mean, sorry, Adam Levine from Maroon 5? Is the equivalent?

Is Adam Levine the real equivalent of Katie Perry? Yeah. Yeah, it's better than Orlando Bloom. It's music-based, have been hot for a while, peaked about 10 years ago, but still quite famous. But he's on the down. So he is more achievable. And you'd be like, oh my God, my girlfriend's now dating Adam Levine.

You'd be like, oh, it sucks. What are the chances? I want to know who introduced Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau. Yeah. They would have met at a party somewhere, like some sort of high-for-losing party. And I need the details of the high-falutin party. Because you want to date them, do you? I need to find out how I can date an ex-prime minister.

It's always just good to have a couple names in your back pocket as you'd ever know what's around the corner. Yeah, me and Obama. Holy shit, you made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough, check out our only fans, podcast that is.
