Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. Buckle up, lower your standards and prepare to question everything. This is Clint Megan Dance Only Bants. Podcast that is. The world has changed in the water. I swear to God, I just coughed and out with myself. I feel it in the earth. I shit myself over.
Starting point is 00:00:26 I smell it in the air. Man souls back. All right. Yeah she is. We all back, baby. Why did it change? I smell it. Well, I love to think it smells nice.
Starting point is 00:00:39 I'm a lot of concern. I smell her coming. Meg's here somewhere. You have to specifically say smell good and then it's a worry. Oh, but welcome back, Meggy. Good to have you today. It's so bizarre.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Well, it's kind of not. I've been doing the show. I mean, like a month ago, I did three shows with you, but it feels weird that this is like for real again. Yes. This is it? Yes, first day back now.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Anybody know the number for tech support because I've forgotten my password to get into my computer. It's always going to be one. Yeah. It will be something to do with your cat. I thought it was P-E-T-T-E-R-3. P-E-T-T-T.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Which is my password for everything. Unfortunately, it's, oh, bugger. Well, it can't be because it's not working. It's not working. You would have just changed the number. Try 01. Kimmy as cute, O-3. Something about Liam Lawson.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Liam Lawson's, my boy. O-1. Hashtake. Try them all. Try them all. I see your text coming through. Hey, Chantelle. Thanks for welcoming us back. Kelly as well. See you. All in full caps.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Maybe that is like Liam Lawson full caps. Yeah, no, see all the texts come in. I don't know. Maybe we'll talk about this next. I was going to say it's great to be back. It is good to be back. I was a bit anxious, though, last night. I almost texted you guys and then. I didn't want to push my anxiety on. So you both going, do you guys feel anxious? Because I feel a bit anxious. You should have texted. I was absolutely anxious. Clint, I haven't worked for seven months
Starting point is 00:02:03 that I didn't hear from either of yours. Oh, bloody hell, here we go. Who am I working with a couple of pussies? Play a song, let's play a laugh. I'm all anxious. Oh, Jesus. You're the one with a stress ball right now. You can see him in the background.
Starting point is 00:02:15 I can't get into my computer. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. We're back. First show after, well, a month off and maybe a little longer for Meg, if you don't count the days where she was jumping in. How long were you off in total, Meg?
Starting point is 00:02:29 I ended in July, and then, so, seven, months and then I did like, I think I've seen you guys four days within that time. Oh, we've been to the zoo a couple of times. One time. Yeah, we went to the... Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But Clint, same hair colour. What's that? Yeah, yeah. Seven months, I'm not seeing.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I know. Amazing. Been sort of hanging in there with the same one for a wee while. To be honest, I thought you were going to come in with pink or something. You know, something different start the year. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, nothing. And, um, what else? What else have I been doing? I probably spent, I'd say, 25% of my whole. holidays at home. Yeah, you look
Starting point is 00:03:04 like you're out and about a lot. Did you go to Fiji twice or was it just once? Just once. Right. He came back and he's like, should we just go back? No, I got talking about it. My wife and I look in photos and we're like, oh man, love to go back. But no, it's obviously not as
Starting point is 00:03:20 as it is if you want to go over Christmas time. Because it was dead. When we're there, the guy that I kept going to the cafe in the morning, he said they had 200 people and then he said on the 28th December, we're expecting to have full capacity and a thousand guests. Wow.
Starting point is 00:03:33 So we're from 200 to 1,000 within Christmas to the 28th of December. So what was Christmas like? Did you guys do presents with the family or not? We did presents before going to Fiji and then Santa came to Fiji. Do they have Jibis in Fiji?
Starting point is 00:03:46 Of course Santa. Well, he goes everywhere. Santa's shirtless in Fiji. Is he? So on Christmas Day, Santa... He must be the end when he's like really toast. Is he going there last? He's like, Jesus, I couldn't miss Fiji if I was it.
Starting point is 00:03:57 No, but he was actually in really great shape. A lot of the photos you see if Sanda, you know, just terrible photos. He'd have to be. He was on the boat and they were like peddling across the restaurant and he was shirtless. Great tan. And then he just still had the beard and stuff, the white beard
Starting point is 00:04:14 but very tad. I'm surprised he's that cut because all he eats over Christmas is milk and cookies. I mean, I don't know how much, do we know how many calories it burns to go up and down the chimney? I've not. No. I think it's very little going down.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Yeah, but going up again that might be very hard. Yeah, no, well, I don't know, maybe he started shredding for summer as soon as he got to Fiji because, yeah, he was in pretty good Nick, I thought. Yeah. Yeah, so what are we going to do for the foot? Because this is the moment where we play a song isn't like a kind of a throwback. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:44 I don't think you've been here since we've done this segment, Meg. No, no, I haven't. It's a new segment. Learning everything. And I think we need to play something, you know, something good to kick off the year. Well, everyone said 2026 is the year of 2016. Have you guys seen that online? That we're like just, we've gone back in time.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Has everyone seen that? Yeah, I've seen the memes about years. 2016 was like the last amazing year. Yeah. And then apparently we do Us versus the playlist. The playlist has MGMT kids. Something better?
Starting point is 00:05:12 What would you like that? Well, uh, 26. 2026 is the year of the horse. Yes, it is. I don't know. Is there any? Katie Perry? Little Nas X.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Dark horse. True. Dark horse, little Nas X. Yeah. Um, my God. Okay, hold on. Now we're just throwing shit at me. Oh, you know.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Little Nas. Is Ali Goldine. Anything could happen. That's always inspirational, isn't it? And it's about the year, you know, first show back. Okay. Anything could happen, you know, just as open. You could, would not have.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Also, it'd be great for Ellie Goulding to get some royalties because no one's really playing her own music anymore. Yeah, but let's kick her off with a good start of the year. Brick Valley Goulding a little bit of royalty. Yeah, okay, sure. Yeah, here you go. No, good big, Meg. She's just had to ping on her phone.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Oh, she's just going to say. She's playing my tracks. The Clint Meg and Dan Podcast. A brand new year. It's your year. Oh, hold on. I've got to put a stop on here. Just let me do that.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Cool. A little bit rusty this morning, first day back. Yeah, yeah, tell me about it. I'm going to shake it off. I'm feeling weird. Are you? Yeah, Dan, do something. Well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:06:16 I wanted to say that I wanted to inspire you guys. This morning, this is the first time I ever did it, got up at 4 a.m. And you'll laugh. Went for a run before the show. To you. I know. Before the show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:30 So I'd. You were the freak, you were in those freaky guys that you go, what are you running for? I know. I saw no one on my run. And it was in the middle of the city and the CBD of Auckland saw no one at 4 a.m. this morning. And then I came in here showered because I don't usually shower in the morning. So that's why I smelled and look younger. Cleaner.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Cleaner. What time did you get up this morning to get in for where you live? Four. And then you drove straight in here. Got straight up, put my undies on, like running. And I already had my gear in the car. All right. It went straight here, rammed.
Starting point is 00:06:58 You know what this is smelling like, well, not sounding like Clint. It sounds like a news resolution. How long you reckon it's going to last? I don't even think he does it tomorrow. You know what? You know what? As I was running around, I thought, this is hard. And I was like, I was going to do it every day.
Starting point is 00:07:15 I'm not going to do it tomorrow. So I'm going to do it alternating. No, you've got to try and get a streak. Alternating, there's no streak. Next week, it's not happening. There's no way. If he stops tomorrow, he doesn't do Wednesday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:30 What about just once a week? On a Monday? I think it's a great idea. I wouldn't mind coming in and doing one with you. Yeah, I don't want to go too slow. It's a nice plod. I can't because I've got something
Starting point is 00:07:42 that sounds gross, but it's perfectly fine. No, I've got plantar fasciitis. It hurts your foot and I've got that too. I've got it in my right. Sounds like something that grows on the groin. No, I know. It's on your heel. It's so painful.
Starting point is 00:07:56 It's like you get out of bed and it's like a stabbing pain in your heel. I sent to chat GPT. I was like, hey, when I get out of bed, I've got a sore foot. And I accidentally sent it early, and I didn't even get to give all the symptoms. And he goes, if you're getting a pain through the bottom of your heel, like a stabbing, like bruised. And I was like, oh my God, plant a fasciitis. And now I've got all strapped.
Starting point is 00:08:15 And I've got a stout. I can't be running. Sorry, bro. It's plain annoying. Just comes and goes, by the way. There's no fixing. I've hit it. God, a couple of saddos.
Starting point is 00:08:22 You two are. Yeah. Planting a fischitis? Yeah. Yeah, my wife wants to not drink for three months. Yeah. She asked me to join her. I think I probably didn't drink for three days
Starting point is 00:08:33 in total over the holidays. And then you got plenty of fissiitis, is that what it was from? Not looking. Because I was about to ask, normally it's a weight thing, but not for you. Maybe just drinking your body's breaking down. Yeah, it could be there. So I'll be kinder to myself.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Love all the tics are coming through. I'm going to be kind of myself. Clint Randall saying it. How kind can you be? You're the kindest person. I know it to yourself. Leave him alone. He's got plenty of fischi artists.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Planta. Planta. You went to Fiji twice. You're doing very well for being nice to yourself. I think you're right. I think you've got the Plannedette Ficiitis from a dirty shower in Fiji. It's like athletes' foot, isn't it? But of course.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Yeah. Yeah, loving all the texas that are coming through. There's some really nice stuff that people were sitting through. Oh my God, miss you guys so, so much. Welcome back, Meg. Feels like it's been way too long. That's from Hannah. Someone else says, Meg wasn't the same without you.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Have a great show week. Yeah, that's from Nicky. And Meg's got red hair now, and she'll say that it's her natural. colour, but I tell you what, you've never had that colour here. Clint, back me up on this. That is a different colour here. Based on Meg's shop and, like, angry face.
Starting point is 00:09:36 I'm going to say that's pretty natural. Is it? No, no, no. This is not meant to be red. I'm very... Is this red? It's red. It looks red to me.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Have I got like, what's that thing? Colourblind. No. It looks... It looks lovely. Is it not brown? Is it brown here? Yeah, it's like a chestnut.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, then she nailed it. Hmm. Chestnut red. It's lovely, though. I wouldn't say it's bad.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Thank you. No, I've just realized, do you guys ever get out we didn't talk about another day about something blindness, like about a specific thing on your face? The eyebrow blindness, hair blindness,
Starting point is 00:10:09 I didn't realize how dark my hair was until I like look back. You guys never get that? You mean like when you got a mole? No, I don't know. You mean when you go like a mole on your nose and your eyes have worked out of look past it?
Starting point is 00:10:21 No, no, no. No, no, I don't know what I'm talking about. It's like a thing that you look back and you go, I had no idea my eyebrows were that bad and you can only realize that when you look back No, I never had that. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I was surprisingly, Clint's never looked to the phone. I've been guided to myself. Never looked to myself and go, ugh. But maybe you should. All right, first call of the day. Love it to be you. O-800 The Edge. Our show sponsor, Zid, on for another year. Thank you, team.
Starting point is 00:10:42 They're going to look after you next. Get your morning sorted with free coffee and treats. Clint, Megan Dan. Lesh goal. First call of the day. First call of the day. Okay. First call of the year.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Yeah, this is the crapper that Dan just said. Yeah, well, no. I said you could be. if you want. You don't have to be. All right. We'll let's see if you determine Sandra to be a crapper, Dan. Morning Sandy? Oh, you've scared it now. So far, so good. Morning, Sandra.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Crapper. She's a crapper. Why can't we get her? Can you put it back on hold? Because I'm not getting her lighting up green. Let me try. Oh, there, guys. It works for me. Sorry about that. Hey, Sandra. I'm a crapper.
Starting point is 00:11:21 I'm rusty too. Morning, Sandra. Kilda. Kilda, babe. How is your summer? Is this first day back for you? That. Yeah. And what do you do for a job? My team has been back since.
Starting point is 00:11:33 They started last week. Oh, so you are. I'm the team leader and I'm starting this week. Oh, they have been doing nothing, I reckon, for the last week without a team leader there to keep them, you know, on their toes. Sadra, are you a health promoter for bowel cancer? Pardon? Are you a health promoter for bowel cancer? Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:53 One of the most deadly cancers in New Zealand. What can we do? And you haven't been promoting it for a way? Oh, no, don't do it. Oh, and you're laughing. Thousands of people have died. It's just a break. Saturday's holiday.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Yeah. Good on, you're sorry. I'll tell you what, to make up for all the holiday that you've had, maybe now's your chance to promote it across the nation this morning. What can we look for? Okay, about cancer, Iceland. And what should you be looking out for, you know, if you have, sort of, if you've had changes and things like that,
Starting point is 00:12:40 Is there anything you can look out for it's a sign of bowel cancer? Because it's a pretty slow-moving cancer, right? That's so funny because when Dan asked the question, he almost did this mic-drop thing to us and being like, yo, look how good my question is. No, don't wait for symptoms. Don't wait for symptoms.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I think with bowel cancer, once you get symptoms, it's normally you're a pretty progressed. Because sometimes I worry I've had bowel cancer and I just had beetroot the night before, you know? So you never know. Yeah, that'll get you. So 58 to 74, free screening every two years go and do it because it is very
Starting point is 00:13:18 treatable once you get onto it early, correct? Can you guys both sorry, sorry, can you both stop mic dropping? Nothing that you both said is worthy of it. Well, thank you for that, Sandra. That's been very enlightening. No, stop that.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Hey, Sandra, we're going to give you a voucher to go spend in store at Z. So free coffees for the week or go buy yourself some treats. If you haven't got lunch, lunch sorted this morning? Yeah, good on. Awesome. That's great.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Thank you so much. You need some great work. Yeah, have a great first day back. Don't be too anxious. I'm not anxious, no. Oh, okay. It was just me and Meg then. We're just very anxious.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Yeah. You too. I can't hang up. My phone's up working. Now, it does surprise me. I sort of get it with me because you've been off. Of course, you'd be anxious. But, Clint, you were anxious.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Really? You've been doing this show for 47 years. Shut. Oh, you're anxious. It's a care factor, Dan. So when you're nervous before a race. You show us that it means something. You should be.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Oh, you're not nervous at all. Should be, mate, you should be the most nervous out of the three of us. Oh, I know. I'll get fired at some point. I was surprised I even hired you again for 2026. If I'm on it, I'll just have a good chap, Meg and I have had going back and forth. So was I. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Scandal with Meg. Yeah, we're talking about Harry Stiles. I'm really excited. March 6th. Kiss all the time. Disco occasionally, I believe is what it's called. If it is a disco album. I already love it.
Starting point is 00:14:50 And I know I'm a big fan, but I'm ready for some Harry Styles. I'm really ready for it. I loved his last album. I thrash it at home. Same. I think that last album was one of the best pop-out. No, just did myself.
Starting point is 00:15:02 That was just a side note. I haven't listened to the album. And his last muse was Olivia, wasn't it? He was dating her at the time, and now he's dating Zoe Kravitz, with Lenny Kravitz as her dad. Oh, yeah. Who knows if there's going to be anything that changes his perspective with that?
Starting point is 00:15:22 Who would have thought Harry could date someone where he's not the cool one? You don't think he's the cool one? I'd say Zoe's the cool one. She is really cool. To me, when I found out they were to get out, it was literally a moment of like, yeah, that makes sense. Right, you look at them. He likes an older woman. Well, there was rumors that he was bisexual, wasn't there, that he was, you know.
Starting point is 00:15:39 But, yeah, so, I mean, God, she is cool. She is just, she oozes cool. Yeah. She oozes cool. Now, Dan, you found one of his X-Factor audition. Which is crazy because I don't have a computer this morning. No, we know. He's got to play it through his phone
Starting point is 00:15:52 because his computer's not working. We're talking about the, I guess it's the glow-up, isn't it, from when he was on X Factor to now? Yeah. And this was his original audition. Let's be honest. Not great. I don't know if I just play.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Hey, Mr. Mr. on the radio, stereo, the way you're moving to. So he's just singing the wrong key. He's completely out. Simon just would have seen a very charismatic, a good looking young boy and thought I can train that. And you know it was Nicole Schuzzinger who was also one of the co-hors on the show.
Starting point is 00:16:29 She put them all together. She was the one that chose them right? She must be livid when people keep saying it's Simon. It was all her and even you couldn't even see the footage of Simon saying no to certain people. She's like no these are the boys and she decided it. But yeah here are some of the tastes of what we've had from Harry in the past
Starting point is 00:16:44 is his first singles. This was his first single of his first album. As it was? No, signing time. And this is as it was from last album This is what we're going to be getting Next, I'm guessing. Production's not as good.
Starting point is 00:17:32 There's a little bit of vocal fry on his voice Did you notice that? Like a little bit of huskiness to it. Kind of sounds a bit muddy. Yeah, I think it's been recorded on the phone. Yeah, I'm guessing it has been Clint. I'm guessing he has just recorded that. But, yeah, I thought it was a bit slow
Starting point is 00:17:44 bit of it picks up. It sounds like a classic Harry song that could have come from his last album. Yeah, it sounds too different. Similar to Harry's house. Yes. I really like the first album. It was quite pretty.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Rocky. You know, there was a lot of like Kiwi was on it. Oh no, that was fine line, wasn't it? But I mean, it was, it had some great rocky sounding songs on it. It did, but it was a bit of a flop. People thought he was like too tryhardy. Yeah. I liked it. So how far away do you reckon? Have they said when... March 6. Oh, so they have a good official day. March 6? When the albums are, the song will be out before then. So it should be, I reckon we'll be blasted in February. Yeah. Okay. All right. Next on the show, five things you need to do to stick to your New Year's
Starting point is 00:18:20 resolution. If you made one. and you're like, oh God, am I going to be able to do it? Like, Dan's 4 a.m. run this morning. That's going to be shaky if it continues, if I'm honest. Dan's going to tell you. I think I look clinically insane running at that hour. But anyway. I'd be like, what is he stolen?
Starting point is 00:18:36 Who is he running from? If you made a New Year's resolution, Dan's going to tell you how to keep it. Just three things you've got to do to keep it. And also, we'd love to hear from you if you've made a New Year's resolution that you think is rather unique, not just like the normal go-to. I'm going to try to drink less.
Starting point is 00:18:55 That's not your one. No, it is. Well, it's not mine. That's my wife. She wants to go three months without drinking. Oh, good luck to you, Clint. Jesus. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:05 She wants me to support her. That's not mine. I'll tell you. Have you got one? Well, mine's not, you're going to say it's not a year's resolution because it's not about me, about how I'm going to change.
Starting point is 00:19:17 That's what you do. It is going to change my life. but it's not like something personal. That's fine. I've always wanted this thing and I just keep being like oh yeah, well, well and now I'm like, no, this year
Starting point is 00:19:30 my news resolution is to get a bidet. Oh God, he's got his test one. He's got a test one now he's getting a bidet. You know what? They're like $200 from Bunnings. It's not even that hard to get one. What do you mean? That's not a resolution. It's just a to-do list.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Yeah. Just go open your notes and go to-do list, get a bidet. Well, but I want like a proper one. I don't want to, and I think you've got to get a plumber. to install them and stuff? Oh, you want like one of those ones that sing when you're doing your number two? It doesn't say the sing.
Starting point is 00:19:56 I have a feeling that I know why you want that. I have a feeling because you would just be like, well, it's clean. No, do you know what, the more you think about it, the more just dry wiping is so gross. Yeah, it is. Okay, well, Clint, I'm going to tell you how you can keep your New Year's resolution and get your B-Day by March. Okay, by the end of March, I'm going to have an installed banay.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Now, first, step one. There's three easy steps, because I just don't do New Year's resolutions anymore, because I just never stick to them. There's ways to stick to it. Monitor your progress. Whether that be with a diary, whether that be with some sort of Excel spreadsheet, where you're monitoring progress and so you can see how well you're doing along a certain amount of time. Right, so how would Clint do that?
Starting point is 00:20:41 Just keep still thinking about the bidet. No, I'd be like researching different models, narrowing it down, tracking the delivery. Got it, got it. Messaging the plumber. Yeah. Okay. Okay, number two. Unless enlist a check-in partner.
Starting point is 00:20:58 So someone that you can go. Which one of you do wants to hear about? Shok it not. Oh my God. Okay, so Dan Alvin, do I need to message you about my bidet progress? Ideally, not daily. Okay. Still haven't got it.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Thanks, Clint. Imagine the day, though, when it finally arrives and I'll be like, Dan, guess what I've got? I'll go, thank goodness for that. So a checking partner, to somebody who's maybe doing the same sort of thing as you? Yeah. Usually, like if it's a fitness one, you'd ideally go someone that is, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:25 maybe got a similar goal to you. Meg and I maybe want to go for runs together, so you do that. I think it's someone as well that you see often enough that they go, oh, how's the gym going? As opposed to someone you see like once every two or three months. No, no, true. And then this third one, I think, is the most important one.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Break the goals into achievable steps. So in your case, Clint, I think so for a week, just get rid of toilet paper. and just sort of squat over the sink or something. Yeah, really practice. Yeah, and just really get into the groove of having a bidet. Do you reckon if you've got two toilets in the house, you've got to bidet them both?
Starting point is 00:21:58 Or do you just bidet, like the one that you use? Yeah, no. I'm being honest, you have to get both because once you get used to it, you're going to never use a other. But then I wonder, like, then when you've got people around and they just use the main bathroom, I've got a bidet in his main bathroom. I'll be pissed off if it's in your onsuit.
Starting point is 00:22:14 I want to come and use it. Yeah, right? Yeah. Why are you going over to his house just to do that? Producer Carl? Well, also, like, you're one of the only people I know with a swimming pool. It's like, that's kind of like a giant bidet, isn't it? You just jump in there, it's got filtration.
Starting point is 00:22:28 I'm in the cheeks. No. You're never coming over for a swim either after that, comment. Sit on the jets. You're fine. Oh, good on, just sit on the jets. Yeah, okay, so you've got to do two. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Because I think you'd do one toilet and then you'd regret, like, because you're going to get the plumber back. Do it all at once. Yeah. Yeah, do it all at once. But talk to your chicken partner, not me out again. No have I been lumped with this Does anyone listening have a bidet
Starting point is 00:22:52 And know the best ones to get What we were talking about On the shit Oh he's sticking to the rules He's got a chequin partner He's got achievable steps Could we do like a bidet day Where we're full like
Starting point is 00:23:03 There's one day on the show where we just You know that's the chequer Maybe once Clint gets it If anybody's ever dreamed of using a bidet We'll go to Clint's house We'll do a ribbon cut in Yes Yeah and then we all go in
Starting point is 00:23:14 You can max like three minutes each or whatever, I don't know, because we'll be the fracious. And then if you're thinking about getting one, you can have a go first and then go, definitely not for me, or, oh my God, sign me up. Clint can cut the ribbon with his cheeks. We know, or not, this is allowed. If anyone has one, yeah, I wait under the edge, let us know. We did get it from, how much do you love it?
Starting point is 00:23:36 Otherwise, we'll take calls on unique New Year's resolutions. There we go. That's where we were going with it. Where you haven't really told too many people, because yours is very niche, very specific. Yeah. But I like those ones. They're more interesting. Like you, Giniabody, I guess. A New Year's resolution that probably hasn't been done before. Specific ones are probably good as well because it means that it's very unusual. You can kind of just focus on it yourself.
Starting point is 00:23:58 I like that. Okay. Oh, 800, the Edge, or 33, 4.3. And we've got to double pass to our musty movie, Mercy, with Chris Pratt. Oh, that looks cool. The whole premise is like instead of having a jury of your peers, if you're accused of a crime, you get 90 minutes with AI to try and prove your innocence or you die. Brilliant. Yeah. The trailer was six.
Starting point is 00:24:15 So we've got a double path if you want to go see that movie next. Oh, 800 of the Edge. We're talking New Year's resolutions, but unique ones, not the whole, I'm going to go to the gym this year, I'm going to try to drink less.
Starting point is 00:24:25 What's that very specific thing that you want to try to achieve this year that most don't have on their bucket list? I just do a word, because I just, resolutions aren't even... What is your word this year out of interest? I'd love to know,
Starting point is 00:24:36 because... Peace. Peace. Peace. Peace and quiet. Peace of what? Peace, peace, peace. Oh, P, E, A, C.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Like, peace. You're not a piece of K, obviously. I'll have a piece of that. I'll have a piece of that. I'm only used to resolution as a piece, so give me a slice. Or pie, give me a piece. Denise Tickson saying, I'm going to say no more and just get what I want rather than trying to please people.
Starting point is 00:25:00 There's a song by Nick Hustles that you need to listen to Denise. What happened to being a yes man, though? Because a lot of people's news resolution would be to say yes more. Saying yes to opportunity. Yeah. But I guess some people have too many opportunities coming their way, so they're like, no. Well, I think if it's an opportunity for you,
Starting point is 00:25:29 then you can be a yes man or woman. But I guess it's when you feel obliged to be doing things that you feel you should do, but you don't want to do. Yeah, we've got Hannah on 0-8-Had to the edge. Hi, Hannah. Good morning, Kay, welcome back. This is Hannah from Matamatta, isn't it? Mar-a-Mata.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Which one is it? It's Matamata. It's Matamara. Sorry, sorry, sorry. What is your name's resolution, Hannah? I am determined. to apply and get into accepted to the Police Academy in Wellington.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Oh, good on you. That's a difficult thing to do as well. It's very physical. And there's a lot of actual, like, I remember I tried doing it, to be honest. So you couldn't do it. It was the academic side that was really tricky. Are we surprised Clint?
Starting point is 00:26:15 I actually believe it would have failed the physical, if I'm honest. As friends, that's where we meant to go, oh, wow. Amy, remember, peace. Peace. So, peace. Keep the peace. Peace feather journey. Very peaceful, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:25 So you're nervous? Yeah, I am very much. So I've signed up to a course at WinTech that helps me get ready for the physical and mental side of it. So I think without that little bit of help, I don't think that I would be 100% confident in applying. What's the hardest part of the physical? You've got to do, ideally, brands on a point system. So if you want to get three points, you have to do 2.4Ks in 11 minutes. and physical anything has never been my strong point.
Starting point is 00:26:58 So I'm trying really hard to tackle that. You and me are cut from the same job, Han. I remember that when I was looking at it, it was like you had to do like 100 press-ups or something. Sorry, I thought you failed on the academics. Sorry, right on it. And you're failing on keeping the peace. Yeah, sorry, okay?
Starting point is 00:27:13 100 press-ups. It's not in one go, surely. Maybe it was less than that. It was a point where I was like, oh, there's no way. Dan goes, I'm sorry, I feel like this is where I've realized I've wasted your time and I've wasted me. My time.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Hey, well, you'll like this then, Hannah. Our musty movie is Mercy with Chris Prats. And cinemas on Thursday. And it's kind of like the whole judicial system instead of having a jury of your peers. It's like AI. And you've got 90 minutes to prove your own innocence. Otherwise you die.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Ah. Okay. That sounds good. So don't bother getting into the police work because AI is going to take that over anyway. Yes. He's a dead industry. Robotic police officers in five years.
Starting point is 00:27:52 And Nikki. Nicky. What's your New Year's resolution? I want to be more like Clint. Oh, I'm going to ever drive an electric car or shoot water up my bum. No. But I've got seven trips to Queenstown this year. Two of them are only two weeks apart.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Yeah, that is more like Clint. Well done. That's very. That's a start. You need to have more like nine trips to Queensland to be close. Yeah, yeah. Two trips to Fiji and one summer break. That would be you.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Oh, Nikki, you're coming out of the blocks hot. I love it. I love it. Hey, welcome back, guys. Good to have me, Meg, Meg. Thanks, Nicky. Yeah, thanks, Nick. Appreciate you cool, brother.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Actually, I'll see you. Give him some tickets as well. Yeah, I'll love me. Yeah. Can we give him a double pass for a musty movie as well? Producer Carl? Yeah, we'll just take it from tomorrow. No one's getting tickets tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:28:44 It's all good. Enjoy that, Nicky, mate. All right, and we got a thousand bucks to give away with easy money next as well. Shit. Oh, Meg's just realized. Member, Mick, meek, peace. Peace. Clint, Meg and Dan.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Is this a show you know? Wake up with Clint Meg and Dan. It's the Edge Breakfast. Good morning, one past seven on your Monday. We're back. I got some bad news. Oh no, Clint, don't start the show with bad news. Whilst we've been away,
Starting point is 00:29:16 there have been other people obviously jumping on, filling in covering for us. Yes. And they've been messing with audio in different pages and things. Oh no, not on Clint's audio. And there isn't an easy money page that has our timer.
Starting point is 00:29:29 and the celebration when they win and all those other little bits and pieces. Do we have to just count 30 seconds? No, I don't trust us. Do we do Mississippi or Mississippiously? Isn't this just the show of the man that he blames other people, the interns that have been covering,
Starting point is 00:29:45 blames other people for the issues? Dan, you literally said an intern stole your laptop. And heads are going to roll. That's exactly it. Okay, I think I might have at least found the timer and then we can sort it. Okay, cool. I found that at least.
Starting point is 00:29:59 So we'll give Luke a go and see if we can give him a thousand bucks. Hi Luke. Good morning. Hey, don't worry about not winning because we haven't got any celebration music loaded up. Okay. Have you do win though, Meg's going to do the celebration music. Absolutely. So I look forward to it.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Okay. 30 seconds to give us 10 answers. Starting with the letter Meg gives you no repeated answers. Your letter today is? G for grape. Okay, cool. So you can do G and G words. It's a good letter this one.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Thanks for mansplaining G. I thought I just did that but it's all good here we go look A relative A country Gandhi Gandhi
Starting point is 00:30:41 Guatemala Something you buy at the supermarket Great An adjective An adjective A Raw Pass
Starting point is 00:30:52 Something you'd find in the garden Garden stuff A color Yeah. Green. Something you'd find in the classroom. Glue. A song title.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Get down. On it. We'll stop you there. That's time. My favourite was garden stuff. Well done, Luke. Don't stress about that bed. I've just found out, Luke, that you've won easy money before.
Starting point is 00:31:20 So you played a lot better last time in 2025. Yeah. Yeah, this was a warm up, yeah. Yeah. Do you want to have a look back at how good? you used to be. Oh, it's probably Astroen better as well. Let's have a listen.
Starting point is 00:31:33 A film. Waterboy. An emotion. Worry. Oh, my God. Those were the days. Lightning doesn't strike twice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Old of the wiser, I reckon. Not the case for you. Oh, well. Anyway, great to have you back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's always looked at the bright side of life. Yeah, yeah. Hey, back again, eight o'clock, your chance to play for a grand in the hand with easy money.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Hillary Duff's got a new song. Is it the most unrelatable thing ever to Clint Randall? Clint Megan Dan. They're saying that 2026 is a reflection of 2016. We've gone back 10 years. But if you go back even further, that's when Hillary Duff was doing very well in the radio waves. Hillary Duff was like queen of everything. Was she the queen of the radio waves?
Starting point is 00:32:25 I feel like she was queen of like. I don't know, but you know, she was in that pack of like Hillary, Lindsay. Yeah, she was definitely Disney Channel Yeah, doing quite a few movies She's popping up a lot She's now got to show Or she's had it for a wee while called Younger She's done very, very well with that TV show
Starting point is 00:32:41 And is back to her singing days But it is very R-18, Hilary Duff. There's Sabrina Carpenter, if I was Sabrina, I'd be like, Where'd you come from? Get out of my lane. Yeah, indicate at least. Yeah, she's singing about something
Starting point is 00:32:52 that I think is actually relatable in the way of if you're in the season of young children You suddenly kind of turn into roommates with your partner because you're just busy looking after the kids and like getting things sorted and organized and you know you don't have as much time for intimacy for each other because you're tired
Starting point is 00:33:10 the way she has written the song though is more like she's got all the energy and she's gagging for it and her hubby is the one that's like nah babe doesn't even notice it I know what she's trying to do with the song but the lyrics don't quite tell that story have a listen
Starting point is 00:33:28 I could barely cause Some eagle trauma But I know your sense And how I'm trying to give you hints On the way with you I resent me Why just one thing Easy fit
Starting point is 00:33:47 She's saying like I want my I want you to physically You know Yeah Do it And she she reminisces about What they used to do
Starting point is 00:33:56 When they were younger Um yeah It's very Taylor Swifty At a bar And she you know found a way to please him there. Yeah. And now she's left at home washed up, Hillary Duff,
Starting point is 00:34:20 and he's not paying her any attention. Yeah, she's doing some solo time now. What I don't get, I get the idea of the song, but I think when you look like Hillary Duff and you have enough money to have nannies and chefs and stuff, I just, you got some time. Has she got ugly? No.
Starting point is 00:34:44 No, anything. It's like, but you know, maybe it would have been better coming from somebody who didn't look like Hillary Duff. She's unreal, mate. Like 2026, she's had such a gloop if you haven't Googled Hillary Duffin forever. Yeah. Yeah, Matt, his name is, I, Megan and I were viving on this because I said, oh my God, I saw the video and I was like, what is she on about? How would you feel about it? How did you feel about it?
Starting point is 00:35:08 Yeah, Matt the husband. I know, like, how bad does it have to get? And you're like, I'm going to write a song about it. If you don't sing with him out, I'm going to write a song about it. He's like, no, you won't. Whatever. And so he went on Instagram and was all like, yeah, like I love the song. He was like, the second song from my wife's albums out today.
Starting point is 00:35:23 I adore it so much. It's about panic and uncertainty. And are we doing this right? And is this forever? Tailspins that accompany the less oxytocin-fueled days of navigating life that's bigger and just the two of you. And he goes on about kids and stuff. I was like, mate, she's literally telling the world that you don't want her. But it would have been weird if he'd gone, oh, it piss me off, actually, because I have tried.
Starting point is 00:35:45 You know, like, so maybe he's kind of just going like, yeah, I love it. Yeah, but like the idea of turning into roommates, I mean, there's definitely chat about that once you have, like, once you're in the season of new kids and stuff. So I get it, but it's also, I see, Hillary Duff.
Starting point is 00:36:00 It's unvalu. It's like a multimillionaire, come on. Yeah, I can, I wonder if, like, ladies, is this rage bait? Because she's unbelievably attractive saying that a husband won't even look her way, let alone be intimate with her. Well, I want to know how many months most postpartum she is,
Starting point is 00:36:14 because right now it's like a dead fish for me. So it's like, I don't see why it's she. Like, how far down the track is she where she's suddenly like, oh my God, please give it to me. Are you referring to your husband guy as a dead fish? No, my bits. No, fish is a bad word, but I just mean like, you know, like there's not as, no, sorry, I've gone wrong there.
Starting point is 00:36:34 No, but like we're, I don't say how much we're doing it, but, you know, we're doing it, but it's a lot less than usual, but that's okay. That's fine. Yeah, like, is it rage bait the song, or can women relate? They're women out. They're going, yeah, my partner just doesn't like look at me anymore. Isn't interested.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Because you're right. When you sent that to me, Meg, I was like, this. It's unbelievably unrelatable. I think. But at least maybe that's just my relationship. I had a friend who had a very high sex drive, and she felt that way that she was not getting enough. But she also didn't have young kids, you know?
Starting point is 00:37:05 It's just, I don't know. Clint was propositioning the day after Jamie gave birth, so he can't talk. I don't remember. He's making it up. but I also don't remember to be able to tonight. Oh, that's true. Nah, it wouldn't have been. Hillary Duff's also got new music at the moment.
Starting point is 00:37:21 You might remember her from, what, 10, 15 years ago when she was, like, peaking in terms of movies and songs and stuff, but she's still doing music. And this one's all about how her husband just doesn't, like, look at her any more, alone put his hands on her intimately. Yeah, it's called roommates. And it is something that has been spoken about in the past. of being in different seasons of your relationships,
Starting point is 00:37:45 especially when you have young children, that you turn into roommates more so than, like, lovers like you used to. And I think that's what she means. And Miranda's texted him saying she's probably seeing on behalf of millions of women around the world, not necessarily your own experience. But I think it's because she uses her own examples, like when they used to get it on at the bar, that it seems specific to them.
Starting point is 00:38:04 I think as well, the first few months postpartum, it's normal, right, to not have too much intimacy. Yeah, like three to six months, sometimes, especially if you've had a traumatic birth, of course, stuff like that long. I just think as soon as... Sometimes people maybe a year. Yeah, yeah. I just, I think she's probably got to a point where she's so over it that she's now gone in,
Starting point is 00:38:28 she's written a song, gone into the recording studio, recorded it going, I still don't know should I release this? Then she's probably had some sort of argument and going, oh, bugger, I'm releasing it. Like, do you know what I mean? Like, feel like she's so far down the track now. I don't see how a relationship survives. airing your laundry like this? Yeah, he seems really supportive of it
Starting point is 00:38:45 and intimacy can be very different things as well. Like to Hillary, it's obviously being physically intimate, but just, you know, missing that intimate spark and being roommates of holding hands and... Alyssa's text through saying my hubby hadn't touched me in nearly a year. It turns out he'd been cheating
Starting point is 00:39:02 on me for most of that time. Please keep me on. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I didn't share a name. I mean, that is... A year is, I guess, quite a long time. Yeah, and depending on what stage in your life it is as well. Yeah. You know, if you're wanting it.
Starting point is 00:39:17 Someone, oh. Someone wrote a poem for their husband. Do you want to read it out, Meg? It's called intimacy. Okay, okay, okay, ready? I don't know if I can scroll the whole thing of it, but intimacy, I want your touch not just on my skin, but the way you used to reach for me without thinking.
Starting point is 00:39:33 I need your touch, the kind that said I see you before a single word was spoken, us. Your kisses were reckless and alive, full of promise. We didn't need language. then we spoke in looks, in the brush of hips passing in the hallway, in the quick peck with a cheeky tongue, in the playful slap that made us laugh and want each other more. The excitement cuts off the Eklings, so I can't even see the rest.
Starting point is 00:39:56 It wasn't very rhymy either. It's a poem. It's a problem. Dan getting caught up in the lack of rhymes. Yeah, I get it, and I think it is very relatable. It's that, you know the feeling of the early butterflies you had when you first met someone? I get what Hillary is doing. And there's always going to be one that's more the pursuer than the other.
Starting point is 00:40:15 I just find it's maybe, maybe stereotypically. I just think all guys are the pursuers because that's probably where I'm coming from my own personal experience. It's constantly pursuing. You see Hillary Duff in this like yellow dress and it's like the house. It's like raining inside. So her dress starts becoming rather see-through and you just go, how is a husband not? Anyway, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:38 But then you think about people like, should I try and get cheated on? You know, like Sabrina Carpenter gets treated on. It doesn't matter how attractive you are if that kind of spark's gone. And then you have this perspective from Kate. Right. I can't relate. I have a one and two year old.
Starting point is 00:40:49 And the last thing I want is my husband touching me. Right. Thank you. Yeah. So maybe it is just a really unrelatable song. Yeah. And that's okay. Sometimes you're just tired.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Yeah. Speaking of poems, I think Dan has one for us next, isn't it? Yeah. It's called The Dash and I saw this over the holidays. And if you've started the year off with a little bit of, you know, lackluster, you're feeling like it's just the same is last year, you need this poem. It's going to put a little bit of a pep in your step
Starting point is 00:41:15 and make you live life to the full. But does it rhyme? It rhymes. Clint, Meg and Dan. Meg back this week, first time after what, six months? Yeah, nearly seven months, actually. And you might be wanting, you know, a bit of Hutzpah to get you into the new year.
Starting point is 00:41:33 No, I'm good, I'm happy. Have you been looking for Hutzpah? I haven't been looking for any Hutzpah, thank you. What about Hutzpah? No, Hutzpah. No. Like bar, how full is it? My chutzpah bar is very, very
Starting point is 00:41:45 full at the moment. But I can understand why other people might need some... Well, this poem isn't for you, but there's this, in all seriousness. I saw this in the holidays while we're away, and it brought a tear to my eye because it's an amazing poem. It's quite simple, and it's a nice thing that's just sort of just
Starting point is 00:42:00 take stock of what you've got and be thankful for your life. Let me get my hair fixed in case makes a video. Yeah, Dan Don't know, be careful because we're going to cry next. Oh, I don't know if you'll cry. It's all in the reading, which I'm not very good at. It's called The Dash, and it's by Linda Alice.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Here it goes. Okay. I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning to the end, it rhymes. He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke the following date with tears. But he said what mattered most of all
Starting point is 00:42:32 was the dash between those years. For the dash represents all the time they spent alive on earth, and how only those who are, love them know what that little line is worth. For it matters not how much we own, the cars, the house, the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard. Are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left and what can still be rearranged. If we could slow down enough to consider what's
Starting point is 00:43:05 true and real and always try to understand the way other people feel and be less than. quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we've never loved before. If we treat each other with respect and more often we're a smile, remembering this little dash might only last a while. So when your eulogy is being read with your life's actions to rehash, would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your dash? and that made me think just about life. You read that without one mistake. I know.
Starting point is 00:43:44 That is the first time I've read it without a mistake. That was very good, Dan. I really like that. Yeah, that's a great way of it makes you just think like, oh man. Because it is, when you see a tombstone, it's just that little dash. And it's kind of the most insignificant thing on the tombstone. But if you think about it, that's the life that you've lived. And isn't it crazy, a lot of the time you take stock in your life
Starting point is 00:44:03 and what you want more or less of after the new year? Whereas you should be taking stock of your life all the time. All year round. Like March, July. But I think it is in time. Why wait till the end of the year to then start making changes? I think New Year's always a time for reflection though, isn't it? You know, I'm going to do that thing I've never wanted to do.
Starting point is 00:44:22 I'm going to stop vaping. I'm going to, you know, like all that kind of stuff. You really should stop vaping. I really should. Like maybe the show you normally listen to is still on holiday, and so you've flicked to us and you think, you know what? I'm going to listen to Clint Begandandandand more this year. I think we're the last show.
Starting point is 00:44:37 back that clip. Oh, dear, I've always came back last one. Yeah, I think that's not going to like that one. You know, maybe you're going to punch around less this year. Stop punching, man.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Yeah, just lock it in. Yeah. Hi, I got a radio for the first time in my car this year. There you go. You're living your dash. I'm living my dash. Yeah, honestly, listen to the show
Starting point is 00:44:54 and we promise you'll have more chutzpah in your life. It's chutzpa. Sorry, chispa. Yeah, that did give me a little more chutzper, actually. Yeah, but thank you.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Me too, Dan. Well done. All right, Meg's got a scandal update for us. that we're going to get to next. Oh, wow. From that amazing, amazing poem to Jason Momoa saying, Harry, you're a homo. Oh, no, he didn't. Oh, Jason.
Starting point is 00:45:18 No. Oh, my, okay. I hope there's more contexts than that. There's more. Okay. Clint Meg and Dan. Candle with Meg. SNL has released a version of heated rivalry.
Starting point is 00:45:33 If you don't know what that is, it's a Netflix show that is going very viral about. a book. It's a fiction book where two ice hockey players that are meant to be rivals get it on. It's very steaming. Oh, they're playing different teams but ironically you play for the same team. Yes, they do and they're not meant to and it's all very like you know like buff stereotypical sports guys.
Starting point is 00:45:54 And they're like hiding and stuff. Yes, yes, the real secret of stuff. The hiding. Is that something that... No, you know like a secret, you know, thing. You're not meant to because they're rivals, not because they're gay cleansed because they're rivals of two different teams. they shouldn't be hanging out. You know, like if you're seeing someone at work
Starting point is 00:46:09 and you don't want anyone else to know so you're sneaking around, I love that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you? Not that I've done it. It sounds like I'm cheating on my right. Right. No, I just mean, you know.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Well, if you haven't seen Heater rivalry, that's what it is. If you have seen it, you know what I'm talking about, and SNL got, I think it's the name's Finnwood Wolfheart from Stranger Things. He plays Harry, and it's heated wizardry, so if they were to remake it, but Harry and Ron get together.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Coming soon to HBO. The beloved wizarding world of Harry Potter makes its television debut. Sorry. No, I am. I'm Harry. Ron. With an all-new story, hastily written after the success of a certain other HBO show. He dropped your wand.
Starting point is 00:47:03 It's lovely, by the way. I'd love to see yours sometime. Yeah, okay. So you can imagine where it goes. There are a lot of innuendos, very easy to do. And then Jason Momoa shows up at one point as well as Hagrid. Hagrid, there's something we want to tell you. I already know.
Starting point is 00:47:23 You're a homo, Harry. How did you know? Oh, honey, please. They should call you Neville. You are one long bottom. Hagrid, you old queen. And then... God.
Starting point is 00:47:36 So people are calling for it to actually be made, as you can imagine. So what's the name of the Netflix show? The Netflix, it's called Heated Rivalry. Oh, yeah, okay. I feel like you struggled with say rivalry. It is quite hard, so I take my time with it. Thank you for pointing that out. But you nailed it.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Not Heated Wivalry. Heated Wivalry. Unfortunately, you nailed it at the time that I asked you to do it, so it was annoying. If you want to see the Issa Nelsk, it's the fourth thing. You can text Harry to 3343, and I'll send it back. to you. And Clint, let's go to the bathroom. So, as soon as this break's finished, I need to dash
Starting point is 00:48:12 to the bathroom. I am busting. Okay. And then if I'm not back in time, it's me and Dan Lee. So if you know, this next break, this is a bit of a tease for you. Clint's not back. Then I didn't make it in three minutes. Okay, are ready? Time
Starting point is 00:48:28 starts. Now. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. We got your tickets to Ed Shearin. He's going to be playing in Wellington tonight. So listen out for that, and track at some point throughout the show. And when you do, if you're the first one through, on a 800 edge, you're going for free. Okay. Okay, whose holiday was it?
Starting point is 00:48:44 It's a little game we're going to play where something happened over the holidays to all of us, including producer Carl, producer Nipia, and Webb Gilbella. Everybody has written something down on a little piece of paper of something that has happened to them over the past four weeks since we have been away. Lovely. Now, hopefully we know each other
Starting point is 00:49:00 well enough that based on what is written on this piece of paper, we should know who it was. Right. Oh who knows, we're also similar in lots of ways But let's just keep it anonymous, eh? Similar, it's just a lot of long. You say this every time.
Starting point is 00:49:14 I think we're, I think. Yeah, because there might be a please explain so the person that, you know, owns the story might have to fill in the blanks. This one. I started using a period disc. Dan. Dan.
Starting point is 00:49:26 You called me. Was it for me? They say try everything once. Started using a period disc. That might, that it'd have to be me, I guess. Yeah, guys. There's not much has happened over this. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:49:38 You've been away for seven months. And that's it. Well, that's, yeah, I mean like a moon cup? No, there's cups and there's discs. I'm using a disc now, clip. But it's like the same. It's the same thing. But it's just a different shape.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Yeah, it's a disc. It's like a U.S. It's like a UFO. Like a discis. Yeah, yeah. Think about that. And then they put that in. It's been great.
Starting point is 00:49:59 I don't understand how you don't feel it. Once it's in, I don't. Once it's going in or out, I do. Anyway. Out of ten, if you had to raid it, I know there's hashtag not spawn. Yeah, no, it's been really amazing. Genuinely, I was starting a feeling irritated by tampons, and my period came back after eight weeks.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Oh my gosh, so fun for me. Also, that means you could have got pregnant again two months after giving birth. Wild day. Full back into my cycle eight weeks on the day. No, I'm really enjoying it. I get a bit faint when I'm taking it out, so my husband has to be there. That's the joy for him. He could just take it out.
Starting point is 00:50:33 He could, but he used to be there from moral. support. How close? Like, you're going to be on the other side of the door going? You're good in there? No, I'm in the shower and he's like standing on the other side in case they faint. Wow. Wow, God, is that painful? Well, no, it was just a bit, you know, it's a suction thing and I'm anyway, what's the next one?
Starting point is 00:50:51 Okay, so they're still producer Carl, producers of NEPIA and myself and Dan in there. I grew a goatee. Oh, you can't do two. I saw this. Lots of compliments. Lots of compliments. Is that what it says? Lots of compliments. No, they weren't. Nephio's already got one. Carl's got a beard.
Starting point is 00:51:07 That was me. It was Dan. And you know what? Yeah. Oh, here we go. I was going to take, like, jabs and have jokes at it. But I also liked that Dan was trying something different and stepping out of his comfort zone. And I didn't want my jokes to deter him from trying new things.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Oh, don't worry. That came from my wife. Yeah. She was like, don't do that again. I said, okay, do you? How long? It lasted for a week. I really tried to push on with it and really tried to give it a bash.
Starting point is 00:51:33 You look like you should have been installing, like, security alarm systems. That's exactly what my wife said. I looked like David Brent from the office. It was very Brenty. Yeah, so I took it off. It's gone now. Okay, I don't just have.
Starting point is 00:51:43 What happened in the holidays? My cat died last week. Oh. Oh, shh. Oh, is that? Oh, is that Carl? Yeah, my cat, Wally, he was like 17 and he's just, yeah. Yeah, eh?
Starting point is 00:51:56 Wally died? Yeah, you guys have all, you've all come over to my house. You can't tell us via a poster no, Carl. It just seems, well, I don't know when else I'm going to do it. He's a great cat. We loved Wally. Yeah, we do love Wally. He's a much ginger cat.
Starting point is 00:52:10 I'm allergic, but every time I saw him, you just couldn't help but pat him, and then I'd regret it for the rest of the night. No, the funniest was when you'd get way too drunk, past it on my floor, stay the night, and he would just sleep on your face. And you just wake up looking like Will Smith and that move. That only happened three times. Five times. Okay, we'll go to us long, and then we'll come back.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Yeah, because it's a hard pivot. I'm sorry, bring it down, guys. Why did you choose the song, Cliff? He's trying to get Cull to cry. I just, I went, like, I went cat, sad, and that's what I found. So, not too many sad cat pieces of audio that I just have saved. No. Was it what sad?
Starting point is 00:52:51 Burning or burying? Ah, burnt, you got his ashes at home. Reassembly's going to be weird. Whose holiday was it? We are back from four weeks off, a slash seven months for me. Heaven. Missed you guys lots, though. And you still remember how to do it.
Starting point is 00:53:05 And I still remember how to do it. Oh, amazing. Well, mostly, mostly. So we're going through. We've got, who we've got left? We've got Bella, Nipia, Clint. But we are keeping in honest. Oh, sorry, no, no, sorry.
Starting point is 00:53:14 So let's not get you. Sorry, yeah, okay. All right, um, party finished at 8 a.m. checked out of the Airbnb at 10 a.m. 8.m. 8.m. Finish. Boo.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Producer Nipia's looking guilty. He's moving around a lot in his chair. That would be, I think that must be Nipia. He was doing a little bit of... Oh, because RV! He probably just carried on because he played on stage, so they would have been pretty hyped. Yeah, that was the worst drive of my lifetime, that was.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Very, very rough. So just no sleep at all? Nothing? You didn't have a little... No, two hours? Two hours? You did it... Well, until nine, and then we had to clean up the Airbnb,
Starting point is 00:53:51 and then we left at 10, so it was a very large first. There's nothing worse than being hung over and traveling. There's only one thing worse than being in a car, and it's in a plane, because you can't escape a plane. The lump in my throat that would form If I looked outside and saw birds waking up And I'm like, great, there goes my whole next three days Best feeling in the world
Starting point is 00:54:10 Oh yeah I'm not recovering from that, right next up Congrats though on the main stage of performance Hey, thank you Car broke down at roundabout Had to push it into a park Oh that's Bella Cleans car wouldn't break down Tesla
Starting point is 00:54:25 Yeah there's only got like seven moving parts or something Bala. Is it time for a new one? I actually still haven't had gotten it back from the mechanic. But thank God I had three friends with me who all hopped out and pushed me into a park. What sort of car are you rocking there, Bella? 2002 Holden Cruz.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Oh yeah. Oh my God, Holden Cruz is one of the worst cars you can buy. Stare clear of a Holden Cruise. Everything goes wrong with them. Yeah, obviously. Trust me. You need to get a time machine and go back to 2002 when Bella bought it. You couldn't have bought a less reliable car.
Starting point is 00:54:56 I know that now. Thanks for that. That's really good advice. And I wonder who's that this is. Oh, it's going to be a goodie. I read a book about talking more to strangers, more. I will no longer do it while drinking. Yeah, someone gave me...
Starting point is 00:55:10 Did somebody give you a... A bit of a spoof. No, it was a cigarette Santa gift saying, like, talk to strangers. It's obviously a gag, because you know how to do that. Yeah, but I was drinking, and I was like, I'm going to do this morning. We'd talk to strangers more.
Starting point is 00:55:24 And I saw this guy, and he had a t-shirt, and it said Tanzania. and I was in Fiji. I'm sorry, Tasmania. Jesus. You need a better way. I was like, tell stories better. That's the problem.
Starting point is 00:55:36 It said Tasmania and I was like, hey. And I go, no, where in Australia you're from? And he goes, oh, yeah? And he starts talking, he goes, are you from Brisbane too? And as I got closer and we started talking, I was like, oh, and then I read it properly. And it did say Tanzania, not Tasmania. And so then I had to talk to him about Brisbane for ages.
Starting point is 00:55:53 And then every morning I saw him up the buffet and he kept talking to me about Brisbane. and I was like, mate, and I couldn't come cleaning her, bro. I thought your T-Shu'd say it, Desmania, mate, I don't, I don't. Are you staying at this resort, again? And I, and I would have gone, yes, and I'd be like, I'm moving. See you later. I'm going to the hill and down the road.
Starting point is 00:56:10 It was on an island. You can go in. That was that one. That poor guy. That poor guy. Yeah, so. I think it's nice to talk to strangers, but just don't do it under the influence. I remember we were on a flight once.
Starting point is 00:56:20 I think this is why you're away, Meg. And Clint was sitting next to this lady chewing her off, and she tried to open the door of the plane to get out of the conversation. She was. She's trying to jump out of the plane. Whatever. Easy money. Your chance to play for a grand in the hand.
Starting point is 00:56:33 I'll wait 100 with the edge if you want to have a crack at it. And then listen out for your chance to win tickets to Ed Sherrod as well. After 8. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Your chance to play for a grand in the hand, easy money. We'll give you a letter if you can give us 10 answers. Starting with that letter in 30 seconds, the cash is yours.
Starting point is 00:56:48 I'm playing this morning is Kayla. Hi, Kayla. Good morning. Good morning. $1,000. What's that going on? win it? Well, our tree from our property just fell on our neighbours Avery yesterday and he's got exotic pigeons. He's currently away out of the country. So we called him, we went and caught his pigeons,
Starting point is 00:57:12 they're safe in a chicken coop at the moment, but I need to replace his Avery. Oh my goodness, what a nightmare. We have never had that as an answer to that question before. No, he never could have guessed that one. Bizarre, right? Were you chopping down the tree and it went the wrong way? or just fall over in the storm. No. I'm in New Plymouth and we've had a lot of wind lately in this massive punger. It was huge.
Starting point is 00:57:37 We heard the crackling. We just finished dinner. We heard the crackling. We're like, what is that? And almost watched it happen in slow motion. How much is an avery? The damage is bad. Have you done the research?
Starting point is 00:57:46 How much it costs to get new avi? Yeah, they're quite expensive. So it was, he, his avery was also partially a greenhouse. So half of it's a greenhouse, half of it's a ivory. But, um, yes. I think it's more expensive to get like big trees cut down. Honestly, it's so expensive to when you go and like get this. So maybe you have sad money.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Yeah. When we told him, he's like, well, at least you don't need to cut it now. Exactly. All right. Well, we're all rooting for you, Kayla. Right, right, right. Yes. Um, your letter is in for no more Avery. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Or new Avery. Yeah, or new Avery. That's good. There we go. 30 seconds on the clock. your time will start at the end of Meg asking you your first question. Give me a four-letter word. No.
Starting point is 00:58:32 A body part. Neck. Something sweet. Nice ice cream. A movie title. Never. A boy band. Nickelback.
Starting point is 00:58:54 A fast food restaurant. Nando. Yes. Oh, you could have gone with a nice chicken place. Oh no, you would have had a repeated answer. Nice chicken. You poor thing, you've had a run of it this week and last. What is that movie never about?
Starting point is 00:59:14 Probably if you Google, I was like, we'd have to go back and check that. There'll be a movie out there somewhere called that. Yeah, there is 2014 a romance drama. Is that the one you meant? Yep. Yeah, okay. Thanks, Kayla. Commiserations.
Starting point is 00:59:29 You can play online practice makes perfect. Just download the new Rova app and you can give it a crack. I think the price for the most creative needing of $1,000 goes to her. Yeah, I mean, that is crazy. Next, Mick's going to tell us what it's like. coming back to work after having your second, having a toddler and a baby. Yeah, it's just three things that I've learned
Starting point is 00:59:47 since having my second and compared to first-time mum vibes. If everyone's got one and you're listening, you go, I wonder if we should roll the dice again. And she's written it in poem form. No, I haven't. Not this time. I know this is my YouTube go to.
Starting point is 00:59:59 Rap. I've got the backing track. It's the rap. Clint, Megan Dan. Lesh go! I have now, if you've just turned in, I know I have a second baby.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Maybe that's why I've been gone for seven months of people wondering. Oh, that was why. We did wonder. And Miller, my second daughter is turning six months tomorrow. Can you believe that she's already six months? Damn. It's just been crazy. Time flies.
Starting point is 01:00:25 You know what? And that's my first point, Dan, is the three things that I've learned since having my second is if you thought that the first went fast, the second is incredible when it comes to how fleeting this time has. felt. I think it's because the first time round you're so stuck in the, am I doing this right? What's the next stage?
Starting point is 01:00:50 You're so sucked into am I doing the things right? Am I doing the best for my baby? What are other people doing? Should I be doing that? And there's so much more noise. And of course there's still noise the second time round but I am definitely much more focused on just her and
Starting point is 01:01:07 knowing that this is most very probably likely 99.999,999 last child. It is... I'm keeping the door open. Not as you, the management will have a fit of you get pregnant.
Starting point is 01:01:21 We were talking about that, Meg, though. I was like, hell, you have more love to give to another kid, but you have the same amount of patience, the same amount of finance, the same amount of energy that has to stretch, I guess, right? That's exactly it.
Starting point is 01:01:34 It's now, the first time around, I was really looking forward to all the stages, and be like, oh my God, what's it going to be like when she crawls for the first time or she eats for the first time or she sits up for the first time. And this time around, I'm dreading's not the right word, but Miller had her first meal last night. And me and Guy, my husband, are gutted, like in the way that we're like, already, we're already into food.
Starting point is 01:01:59 And the first time I was so excited to try new things and see what that meant and see how that happened. And now we're like, slow down, slow down. So that's been very different. The second thing that I've noticed is you have a completely different postpartum experience depending on whether you get a sleeper or not, or a non-sleeping baby. And I'm saying this to you if you're a first-time mum out there. If you are doing good and you're doing okay and your baby does sleep for five, six-hour stretches,
Starting point is 01:02:26 you're doing a great job, but you have a very different experience to somebody who has a very wakeful baby and it isn't the same. And I now have experienced both at both extremes. Daisy still doesn't sleep by the way, still wakes one to two times a night she's over four. And she, you know, she would be up 45 minutes to an hour for years. She would do split nights, so she'd be up for two or three hours.
Starting point is 01:02:51 And me and Guy responded every single time. We went to her every time. We fed her, we rocked her, we held her every single time. And I had people who did put in the seeds of doubt that I needed to train it out of her, or I was creating bad habits, or I was creating a rod for my own back. and I made, you know, made her into this bad sleepy baby because I kept responding to her.
Starting point is 01:03:11 And that was really hard as the first time, mum. And I can't even explain that, I don't even know if you, if I feel like a different person, having this weight off my shoulders now that I have, what you could only describe as a unicorn baby in Miller. And I've done nothing different.
Starting point is 01:03:28 She was just born and she just sleeps. Like there's, I didn't do anything differently. I, and it's been so, incredible to have that peace in my heart that I did nothing wrong to Daisy I didn't break her when it came to her sleep and her sleep needs, she just needs more help, she just doesn't sleep as much
Starting point is 01:03:46 whereas Miller has slept through basically from eight weeks with me doing nothing. Me doing nothing, you just, you can't choose that you have a sleep or you don't, and I tell you what the difference in your experience is you couldn't, you can't put those two women, those two mums and say that they're both having the same experience at three
Starting point is 01:04:02 months post-part. You can do exactly the same thing. So that nature and nurture thing is incredible to me that you could two girls raised by the same parents in the same house, the same environment, but they can be so different. Oh my God, it's incredible Clint. It's taught me so much. And it's been very, it's been so good
Starting point is 01:04:18 to be kind to myself that I did nothing wrong. I just had a non-sleeper and now I do. And that there's more, I know, I joked about it before when I was pregnant there. I'm going to be able to love this baby as much. What a loser. Oh my God, what a loser. Yeah, yeah, there's more.
Starting point is 01:04:34 There's more room. There's more space. is more love and that's why we're not having a third trial but it has been the first time ever that I've thought huh I can see why you would want a third one after having my second and realizing the love does grow yeah doubles rather than you've got to go find half the one and half the other yeah and it is I can imagine I coming back after seven months is very difficult but you're not the only one Emily's called through first day back after maternity leave both of us how old your baby Emily my little boy is
Starting point is 01:05:06 that's a good question. Nine and a half months. Nine and a half months, make it work. Yeah. He's trying up ten months. Yeah. How are you feeling? Is it your first or second or third or onward?
Starting point is 01:05:15 It's my first. Your first? Oh, hard. Yeah. I want to talk about it, but I don't at the same time. Just processing all the feelings. Yeah, it's like, I think at the end of the day, in this economy, you have to like, run yourself and be like,
Starting point is 01:05:32 nah, I have a job to go back too. I'm really lucky in that. And we've got all those things going for us. And my partner's at home with him today. And then he's at daycare for three days a week. And my mum will have him on a Friday. So, again, so blessed with our village. And, yeah, but just so many feelings and the stuff that you've been talking about
Starting point is 01:05:54 is really at home a lot of this morning. It's incredibly hard to describe to somebody that hasn't been through it when you have this incredibly strong connection to something that has grown inside you and being by your side. for so long to be away from them, but knowing you have to do it to get money. Yeah. It's a lot of going to be.
Starting point is 01:06:13 Yeah, we did the budget. Yeah. We did the budget a couple weeks ago and I was like, oh, I felt a little bit better, you know? Because it's like, oh, no, we'll be getting that back again. Yeah, yeah, exactly. They're certain drivers. The one highlight is looking at that money
Starting point is 01:06:26 coming back into the bank out. Give me two weeks. I'm so excited. Well, hopefully the people are you working, are as supportive as Meg's workmates. Yeah, so she's got a couple of the best, hasn't she? Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:06:36 What did you guys done for me post-partum? Does she what? I let you share my footstool. Yeah. Our footstool? Don't know what Dan's done. Yeah, I'm carrying her ass. That's funny movie.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Physically. In Shirin. Clint Megadale. Leshaw. Ed Sheeran on the Edge is 22 past day. We did say if you hear an Ed Shearin's song, then give us a call. And you could be going for free tonight in Wellington. So, Brooke, congratulations.
Starting point is 01:07:05 That is going to be. be you babe tonight. Yay. What were your plans tonight? Was it tonight, Clint, you said? What were your plans otherwise? What dinner? We're just going to throw in the bin now.
Starting point is 01:07:13 Absolutely nothing. So now it's Ed Shearer. Oh, great. Perfect night for it then. Oh, how good. Yay. Thank you so much. You're so welcome.
Starting point is 01:07:21 This will be you tonight. Thank you. Oh, there, Brooke. You and a mate, Ed Shearan tonight. Wellington. Also, tomorrow night, and then three gigs in Christchurch, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Someone might be able to answer this. Logistically, how does it work? Because the stage, if you've seen any footage online or you went to the concert, it's incredible. Like there's a bridge that it extends out.
Starting point is 01:07:42 It looks like it's, how do they get it from, because it was only two days ago that he was in Auckland. Friday Saturday. So how have they transported that whole mass of production down to Wellington?
Starting point is 01:07:53 Sure, yeah. You wouldn't want to be stuck behind the truck, say. No. And that if he's doing a gig Tuesday in Wellington and then the next day in Christchurch, maybe there's a leapfrog, so they have one set up,
Starting point is 01:08:02 they're dismantling one, so there's two different stages. And did, um, we're on his flight? because obviously he would have been happy to be in a flight and he doesn't do private anymore. He just does, his wife Cherry works in sustainability and so money where their mouth is,
Starting point is 01:08:16 he just gets on your normal flight. You'll sit next to Ed. You'll be on a jet star. Yeah, straight down to be. Yeah, crazy. Have you seen him actually cruising around? Because he said he's been here for a month already. Just cruising around and enjoying a Kiwi summer.
Starting point is 01:08:28 This is like almost the most amount of tickets I think that I've ever sold in New Zealand on this tour. It's a joy. It's a joy. I love this country. I would come to this country just. as a tourist. So to be able to come here and actually have people want to come to the shows
Starting point is 01:08:41 that I'm playing is wonderful. And you guys make a hell of a lot of effort to come to these shows. And I want to say thank you for making the effort. I hope it's been worth it. I hope it's been enjoyable. He is just so loved here in New Zealand and I know he's got very good friends with Peter Jackson's kids. Yeah, he's very good friends.
Starting point is 01:08:59 And Peter Jackson himself. I mean, he's talked of moving to Wellington, like having a house here. Yeah, he does belong here. He just flicked me a text and said, He's actually doing crush rich this weekend. So he's not going to... He was going to do it during the week.
Starting point is 01:09:11 And he's just said, nah, I've moved those shows. Not the text on the text machine from listeners who got it better from Daniel. Oh, they've been texting you. No, no, the text of church. Oh, right. Yeah, so it looks like he might be doing weekend gigs and crush. Right, right. Good order.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Yeah, I do whatever you want. You read Sharon. So you want to change dates last minute, change him up? Is that way you text back to him? Yeah, yeah, bro. You do you. But a hell of a gig, eh. My son's first ever concert as well.
Starting point is 01:09:37 went on Saturday night. Yeah. By the time he got home was that after midnight. Must have been exhausted, a little man. Yeah, wrecked. But worth it.
Starting point is 01:09:44 Got himself an Ed Shearing T-shirt and now we just have Ed Shearing thrash in our house and probably more for the next three to four months. Hell of her first concert to go to. Yeah, right? Okay, coming up next, who's doing it better in 2026? Fake music versus real music.
Starting point is 01:10:00 Oh, Meg, you weren't here when we were doing this last year. AI has come a long way. Yeah, I got to hear one of them. I got to hear like the big, Like a creed one. Creed one, yeah, yeah. And so that's all I know about this. So do we still play?
Starting point is 01:10:12 I still, I listen to so much AI music over the summer. Clint's hand. It's so good though. You're promoting it. Don't do it. It's so good. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. 2026, are we done with fake music? Yes, AI needs to get in the bin,
Starting point is 01:10:26 especially when it comes to like creative stuff, music, art, that stuff. Get away. Well, the problem is I've been listening to a lot of AI music. And some of it's bloody good, Dan. And here's the great thing about it. Maybe you've got a favourite song, but you're a little bit over it. Like, say, you know, Justin Bieber's sorry.
Starting point is 01:10:44 We loved it back in the day, but it feels like it needs a little, you know. Little Hootspur. Yeah. Oh, not that word again. So, like, Dan's word he's going to use more than 20s. What does that mean? Do you know what it means?
Starting point is 01:10:57 Oh. Like, it's kind of like... Go on. Yeah. What does Hutzpah mean? What does it translate to? Riz. You know, like, it's a little.
Starting point is 01:11:05 Like gusto. A bit of chutzpah. Anyway, let's not dwell on. That's what I think you think it means, but I don't really know. I've never Googled. How do you spell chutzpah? C-H-U-T-Z-P-A-H? I think it's...
Starting point is 01:11:17 It means incredible nerve, gawl, supreme self-confidence, often in a shameless way. That's it. That's Riz. Anyway, move on with the segment. Okay, well, how do we feel about Justin Bieber doing a disco-funk version? Can you come to the chorus? It's almost a completely different song.
Starting point is 01:11:46 Yeah, I don't like it so far. The version was better. You do like it? Yeah, I mean, that's his best song by far. That's the win for the real people there. Okay, yeah. Pretty sad. Wish death on me, Lord, I don't cry no more.
Starting point is 01:12:16 What about a country version of us? It's got to be better because that sucks. Man. Wish death upon me. Easily. my dog Oh And I can't see
Starting point is 01:12:29 And I'm trying to be What I'm destined to be Guys trying to take my life Oh shit Oh it's good It's soulful My back on the wall Now you're going to see
Starting point is 01:12:45 Better watch how you talk When you talk about me Because I'll come Give him to 50 cents Oh no That one wins. Fake music? All right, I won a piece.
Starting point is 01:13:19 So it now comes down to, oh God, Hanson. OG, three brothers. Hansen did get a lot of hate when the song came out. But since then, I feel like people just learn to love it. Well, AI's gone. I reckon that'd be better if we did a rock version of that. Oh, not sure about that. You can't deny.
Starting point is 01:14:30 I'm just, man, I'm keeping, I guess, fake music going on Spotify over summer. I was just like, all over it. So many great covers that computers are doing. In theory, it would be a very cheap concert to go to. Oh, yeah. Not holograms. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:47 I mean, if you were smart and you didn't have a voice meet, for instance, you could just enlist AI and then just become this rock star, lip-sync everything. Right. You could be the most famous person in the world. They could do. You just need to keep the secret close to your chest. Well, fake music wins, I guess, this week, two to one.
Starting point is 01:15:07 The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. On a Monday last year we were doing a thing called The Things We Love. You know, we just have that feeling when you witness or something happens to you. And you go, I wish I could bottle that up. And I thought maybe it'd be cool to kind of keep this one going in 2026. Yeah, my first time playing this. It's all about kind of keeping yourself open to seeing them as well and noticing these little things in life. They're called something.
Starting point is 01:15:28 What's the word for them? Sparkles or something. What are they called? You guys don't know. You can call on a sparkle if you want. No, it's not. It's a word for it. Okay, well, can I do want to see if I'm on the right track?
Starting point is 01:15:40 Okay, it's a bit long. But in specific, when the kids are both asleep, and then your husband or partner comes in with takeaways, and you've got a really good TV show lined up. Like an episode that you're excited about. That is specific, but holy. Yeah. Like, that's probably one of my favorite feelings in the world with the kids.
Starting point is 01:16:00 You know the kids are down, you know you've got a good episode of something like the latest stranger things or something you're excited to watch. The stranger things, I'm not that. I want to start season two on the holidays? I watched a recap on YouTube. You're a nightmare. I don't want to hear it.
Starting point is 01:16:13 You don't want to watch it in 10 years and then he can talk about it. Should I watch it? Because people are like it's the greatest thing ever. Yeah, you should watch it. I mean, if you liked an episode, then watch it. Why don't I just watch a season one, two, three, four recap and start at five? No, no, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:16:28 You need to learn to love. How do I unbottle this feeling? How do I, I don't want this one? Just take the word for it. Take the cap off. Yeah, I don't want this feeling. All right. That's fine.
Starting point is 01:16:37 Okay, what do you go, Dan? Mine's Christmas related because this is the first day back and we yet to talk about Christmas. And it was the feeling of seeing George, my nearly two-year-old son, opening a monster truck. Because he's obsessed. He's obsessed with monster trucks. Listen to this audio.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Oh, my God. How's my heart? When you nailed the gift. When you got it right. Actually, you could say that for anyone. of any age. Obviously, kids makes your heartmark more. But, like, when you know you've nailed the gift.
Starting point is 01:17:13 It was like $9.99 from the warehouse. Meek nailed the gift for me. Last year, when I got like a signed Cool Runnings poster, all four of them had signed it and got it framed up. And I don't know whether I want it in the lounge or my bedroom. And so at the moment, I'd just kind of move it between rooms. It just comes with... It was very similar audio to my son opening it, which the Clint was just going...
Starting point is 01:17:32 Cool running. Cool, cool, running. Let's go to Riley on 0800 the edge. Riley, what do we call the signal? What do we say? What are you in bottle? I love watching little kids in the supermarket helping mum and dad do their groceries
Starting point is 01:17:47 with the little trolleys. Oh, yes. Yeah, they're walking around. They're just bumping around. The little green ones and bunnings with the flags. Yeah. Hey, Riley, may I say this, it might look cute to you,
Starting point is 01:18:01 but if you're a parent, nightmare. Because they won't let you touch them. They go, nope. Yeah, and the wheels all. all rotate. So the steering's almost impossible. It's almost like they've made it harder. Yeah, but it is cute.
Starting point is 01:18:14 It's terrible, but it does look so cute. Producega? My daughter had one of those in Bunnings yesterday, and she ran it into a toilet, and the toilet seat fell off onto the floor. Made the hell of a racket. It's so annoying. It's almost like the person at Bunnings were like,
Starting point is 01:18:28 let's make these trolleys really hard to manoeuvre and give them to toddlers. Yeah. Hey, Riley Hogg there, and we'll sue you out with a $50 voucher to go spend at pizza. Pizza Hut's new crafted flats, delicious new flavors on light and crispy sourdough sourdough base from just five bucks pick up as well.
Starting point is 01:18:46 How bloody good? We'll take more of your calls and text next. Things we love. What is that feeling you just want to bottle up? It's so bloody good. We're talking about the things we love. Those feelings just want a bottle. Summer edition.
Starting point is 01:18:56 Maybe there's some things that happen over the summer break and you're like, oh my God, yes. Please don't let that ever go away. They're called glimmers, by the way. I said sparkles, the glimmers. Glimmers? It's a glimmer in your day, yes. Okay, what about this one?
Starting point is 01:19:08 When you finish a new TV series, like you gave a show a go, and then you're like, oh my God, I love this. And then it gets the final episode, and you're like, oh, no. And he realized already a second season. Oh, that would be happening to you all the time, Clint, because you watch TV shows on 20 years ago. I said, oh, there's nine more. But yes, that is a good one.
Starting point is 01:19:27 You don't have to wait like a year for the next one, because I started watching Tulsa King on TV Z Plus, and it's got Sylvester Stallone in it, from the guy who wrote Yellowstone. He's written Tulsa King. It's bloody good. I've never heard of it Sandra. Oh, 800 the edge. Hi Sandra.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Hi. Hey Sandra. What's that thing, the feeling you want a bottle? Picking and eating my own blueberries for the first time. I think growing if you grow something and then you get to try your own produce. God, I've never managed to. What am I doing wrong, Sandra?
Starting point is 01:20:02 Lots and lots and lots of water they need, apparently. Don't over-fertilise them, don't give them. Don't give them too much goodness. Just leave them and give them lots of water and just enjoy the incredible taste. Oh, good. Okay, well, there we go.
Starting point is 01:20:16 No, I wish I'd started. But late now, we'll get in for next year. Someone else's text through saying when you get food on a plane, I agree. You know, when you watch them bringing down the food service trolley and like, here we go. And then they stop right next to you and give you a phone. Oh, and you know they're not going to be like, sorry, we're out of the chicken
Starting point is 01:20:32 because they've started like with you, so they got all options available. I could have just eaten dinner and I would easily eat another meal on the plane. I have a friend who genuinely just like wants to sleep through the food service because she never eats the food on the plane. I just don't understand it. She's insane. I know.
Starting point is 01:20:48 She's in it. It's so full of salt. And I'm like that. You know what else I loved when you're on holiday like anywhere. But you know, you say to your partner, oh, shall we get a beer? And they go. Of course it's, do we drink. And they go, why don't we just get a bucket?
Starting point is 01:21:01 A bucket of beer. Because it's cheap. If you buy it in bulk. Troth. Like a cow? No, they put the beers in the bucket dam with ice. Oh, you go. It's a bucket day.
Starting point is 01:21:14 Alice, what is something that you wish you could bottle? Oh, when I see my niece after not seeing her for a couple of weeks and she comes running up to me screaming, Auntie, Auntie, and gives me the bigger squeeze. It's almost as good as a bucket. Yeah. A bucket of beer. No, I...
Starting point is 01:21:31 When she comes running, Arndy, Auntie with a bucket? Oh, no. It's nothing like a child getting excited. I'd see you, like a dog. Especially, Alison, there's like a group of people. Like, there's like six people. And you've been chosen. You've been picked.
Starting point is 01:21:44 Yeah, that's interesting. Final one is good. Hayden, Hayden. What is something that you love that you wish you could bottle that feeling? Have to be hearing Clinton Randall's voice at 6am on a Monday. Oh, yes. God, that is a bit of a fetish. Very specific.
Starting point is 01:21:58 Very specific. And yours, heyden, Thursday back. Although we did get another text this morning saying that's so happy to hear Clint and Meg's voice again, still hate dance. Yes. So, you know, there is, it's not... Was that you, Hayden, the text had it. That was a different number. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:13 I think it was my burner. Thanks, Hayden. I miss him. I miss Hayden. It'd be so funny. He actually, if you'd have listeners rock and burner phones. Just to troll us. Clint, Megan Dan.
Starting point is 01:22:25 This afternoon, it debuts for the very first time of three o'clock. Woo! To the H. Harry Bloody Stiles, how are you, mate? Ask Bloody London. Oh, you, mate. Introducing. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:22:41 Hi. The Ash London Show. What's going, are you on? With Harrison Key. And yes, go. It's Ash London. Yeah, it is. The Ash London show kicks off three o'clock.
Starting point is 01:22:52 Morning, Ash. Moranah, my darling. God, I miss you. Oh, we miss. Hey, can I just ask... Hey. No, you don't... Can I just ask quickly, Ash,
Starting point is 01:23:03 what happened to the Jamaican guy that was voicing the intro? Yeah. He's been fired. Well, but we figured in 2026, who don't want to start a new show and get cancelled. We're like, you know, new show, new me, new me, new me. Yeah, good on you.
Starting point is 01:23:15 Yeah, because I heard the guy doing the Jamaican voice wasn't Jamaican. And he wasn't getting paid, I know. No, no, hey, you don't make stuff up, Clint. He was Jamaican and he's a real person, and he lives over in America. Well, then why get rid of him? Why are you not allowed to have Jamaican voices in 2020? I think, yeah, something would be, though. Do you not like the minorities?
Starting point is 01:23:35 Yeah. And, hey, I don't expect that from you, Meg. Sorry. That's enough. Come on, we're always on the same thing. Come on. No, we're looking forward to the show.
Starting point is 01:23:43 It's going to be so good. Are you all prepped? So prepped. I'm prepped beyond my life. I don't think I've ever spent this long, like, preparing for anything. And I'll have you know that sometimes I was prepared for scandal, boys. I heard what you said about me before.
Starting point is 01:23:59 Sorry, we were just showing off. We didn't think you're listening. I was listening because I love you guys. I'll always support you. Yes, but starting off at 3pm today, It was going to be great. Me, guys and Harrison have been spending heaps of time in the studio, getting ready.
Starting point is 01:24:13 Thankfully, that's a great vibe. Because, you know, sometimes it's a new thing. Oh, I hope we get along. Hope it's from the walkies. So good. It feels like we've been doing this show together forever. It's going to be good. And you're also pushing all the buttons as well on the show.
Starting point is 01:24:27 How's that been going behind the scenes? Yeah, well, you were a great teacher, but I have to admit, Cal Days, was a better teacher. Just a bit more patient. Like you were like, this button, this button, this, I never run through this other time, and then sometimes you might want to do it
Starting point is 01:24:43 and I was like, what the hell? I don't do slow learners, sorry. No, and I'm a slow learner. So Cal was very patient with me and I feel so good about it now. And I'm really proud of myself. At 39, learning how to do a new thing and it's given me a greater sense of, I don't know,
Starting point is 01:24:59 control. But yeah, I'm stoked, man. The trick is if something does go wrong, don't just push any buttons. to try and fix it. Really think about it before you push a button again. Because that's what I've done.
Starting point is 01:25:10 Don't just like mash randomly. Stuff has been playing over each other and I just bash some buttons and it makes it worse. What can we expect from the show this afternoon, Nash? So what have you got prepped to plan? Thank you darling.
Starting point is 01:25:21 Yes, so we've got Vance Joy who's supporting Ed Sheeran. He's going to be on the show. Plus we all went to Ed Shearin and we've had some fun with the punters. Lots of opportunities to win, prizes and cash. So we really want to make this a fun show.
Starting point is 01:25:35 So many ways for people to get. get involved. It is really as much the people show as it is out. So throughout the show, no matter what time you tune in on the kind of drive home, there'll be a way for you to get involved, win some cash, have some fun and also just play along if you don't want to be on the radio.
Starting point is 01:25:51 So it's good vibes and great music and not much else. Lots of cash. Sounds like you're bribing people to listen. Some could but you know what? Yeah, we are bribing people and I'm not ashamed of it. You've got to do what you've got to do in this. world, man.
Starting point is 01:26:07 You've got to just stoop to whatever level you have to stoop to. And you watch me stoop, maybe. She's never stooped lower. No one stood slower than Ash. That should have been that. No one stooped slower. I will only go back to bed. Go back to sleep.
Starting point is 01:26:26 I'm going to go meditate now. I'm going to do some grounding. I'm outside. I'm going to put my feet on the grass and really pull the energy up from Mother Earth. Then I might do some saging. that I'm going to get on my... I hung up on her. Feels very woo-woo.
Starting point is 01:26:43 Her husband will not like that. He's the boss and he's not into woo-woo stuff. Oh, I love it. I'm going to be getting the full line-up of that from her and text afterwards. Is that what all the salt candles and stuff are in here? No, it's going to be a great show. I can't wait. I'll be listening. Yeah. All right. Three o'clock, the Ash London Show with Harrison and Yaz from three.
