This is a podcast from Rover. If this podcast was a person, it would be banned from family gatherings. Oh, piss off, Uncle John. This is the Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. The Edge Breakfast 2025. New year, new hits. And new hosts. Wait, wait, what the f***?

LOL. And new jokes from the voiceover guy. Huh? Classic. I hate that guy. This is The Edge Breakfast with Clint, Meg and Jazz. Good morning. One to six.

Welcome to the show. Good to be here. All right, don't do anything worthy of a video yet. Meg is still doing lips. You've still got lips. And let's have a look. Mascara. Face, everything.

I think you look good now. I think you could stop. I think you could stop. You think I have a good nose? Yeah, your nose looks fine. Fine? Oh, that's not what you want. It's just a fine.

What I mean, like, it's finished. Stop trying to be funny because we're not making a video. So just don't do anything else. Yeah, okay. I mean it. Bella. She's not in trying to be funny because we're not making a video. So just don't do anything else. Yeah, okay. I mean it. Bella. She's not in yet. I don't want this to be a video.

No, she's going to make it. Wait, now stop. Don't do anything. Your nose needs the least amount of attention to be finished in terms of a makeup face. Her lips are shit. They need to work. And you haven't drawn your eyebrows. Stop.

Stop being funny. I didn't realise how much thicker they look when you draw them on. Yeah, so just stop being funny. Yeah didn't realise how much thicker they look when you draw them on. Yeah, so just stop being funny. Yeah. Both of you. Because usually what would happen is Meg had come into work and she'd have her face all done. But now.

Not the case at the moment. No, no, because I'm pregnant and struggling. I'm coming in a little later and doing my face at work. So that's very different. The ears really get left out of the make-up routine, don't they? Oh, see, no. You guys know what you're doing. It's not going to be a video, so stop.

It's a joke on you. What have you done to't they? Oh, see, no. You guys know what you're doing. It's not going to be a video, so stop. It's a joke. It's on you. What have you done to your face? Oh, God! Hey, Cash Trapped, back at seven and eight. We're still giving away cash until $50,000 is gone.

Also, would you pass your learner's license if you had to sit it again? We all sat ours yesterday. Although I'm a bit dark. Look at ours yesterday. Although I'm a bit dark. We got the results today. I'm a bit dark. There was one question that wasn't from the road code

and our boss just put it in. Yeah. About whether you can have an open alcohol container and drink whilst driving if you're not over the limit. Producer Nipia, Producer Carl, I don't know if he said it on air or off air, but many times I heard Clint say, if anyone fails this, they should be off the road.

Yeah, I remember that. Okay, what I did say was I think the driving instructor, when we do our practical, will be telling all his friends about how incredible my driving was. No, you did say if anyone fails these learners' tears, they should be off the road. I think I failed, and I think think Meg, you probably failed as well. You don't even know my answers. I know a couple of the answers we answered the same, and we both got them wrong.

Well, I definitely thought it'd be illegal to drink and drive. Turns out if you're under the limit and over 20, happy days. A roadie beer? No, that can't be a thing. Shouldn't be a thing. I've seen people do it, and I thought, oh, you're going to jail. We saw someone doing that in the weekend. He was having

a beer in his van, obviously, after work. And then he saw us and quickly lowered it. Nobody really knows if it's illegal or not. Alright, that's coming up. 8 o'clock this morning. We'll see who actually still knows enough about the road code to actually legally still be driving on the road. Coming up before 7 o'clock this morning, we have political

commentator Martin Bommer Bradbury talking about school lunches. Sorry, lunches in schools for children. I've just been reading up a little bit about who gets it. 25% of students who are in need of the greatest support. I think there is a bit of confusion around that whole thing. Like, does every student that's on that programme get the same lunch? Are they different around the country?

So we'll chat to him about that. Yeah, I think it depends on the school, from school to school. But you know how normally you would have like a decile system? Yeah. I think they've gone and changed that and they call it the equity index. So schools in the top 25%. So there's about one in four schools that are eligible for the lunches and schools program. It feels, I mean, what do I know?

But sometimes you guys feel like there are jobs of people that I'm like, why do we, are we trying to make jobs? Because why did that need to be changed from decile to equity system? Yeah, there's just someone going, I need to do something today. I'm going to change the name of the decile system. I'm very wrong on that front. I'm sure there are many reasons, but I do feel like there are jobs out there that are like, why? That's probably the same about you, Meg.

Oh, absolutely. And us, all three of us. God, and you'd be right. What the hell do I do? You would be dead right. Now, guys, want your honest opinion this morning. Okay, I was sent this yesterday by, I don't even, I can't for the life of me remember the brand,

which I should have. The only reason they've sent it to you is so you remember the brand. And hopefully talk about it. And now you are. And you've forgotten. Come on, Dan. Hey, I'll tell you what I'm not, though. It's a sellout. And they sent me this pearl necklace that I'm wearing.

Okay. And who made it? Some woman. I'd love to know her name. Her name's Nicola something. It's a small business as well. Yeah. Dan, you've got to look it up.

This is awful. No, it's not a small business, actually. She just imports them from a big business. Yeah, but she's still small. She's small, yeah. Although I haven't really seen the photo of her. Am I Googling Nicola pearl necklace? Nicola pearl necklace.

No, don't do that. Don't do that. I haven't really seen a photo of it. Am I googling Nicola Pearl Nicholas? Nicola Pearl Nicholas. No, don't do that. Don't do that. I don't. I mean, it might come up. You'll come up with something. I mean, hopefully if there's any decent firewall here, it'll probably block it. There's not much of a firewall here.

I've literally said I'm literally halfway through. Oh, don't press enter. Don't press enter. Anyway, so honest opinion, pearl necklace, yay or nay? I like it. I just think it's probably a bit much. I've doubled it with a pearl bracelet. Well, that's why she sent it to me,

because she said she saw the pearl bracelet. I think you go one or the other. I like them both. Probably together it might be like you're obsessed with pearls. I like them together. I hate with what you've styled it with. I don't think it suits the Miami Dolphins cat. Jesus, okay. I just don't mind

it with the cat. Oh, well there we go. You'd trust him more than me anyway. I ask for honesty and you gave it to me. I think it looks really cool, but I wouldn't put it with jorts. Okay, there we go. I'm wearing jorts and a cap. So there you go. Anyway, there's the honest opinion. And the brand is?

Nicola Pearl. Nicola Pearl necklace. Don't Google that. Don't Google that. Clint, Meg and Dan. Scandal with Meg. Scandal is thanks to New World. Nominate someone to get a wonderful Wednesday morning. Text wonderful to 3343 to enter.

Have you guys watched... I think you must have watched them a little bit through the fact that I've given you audio from them in the past in the scandals. The interviews, you know, my favourite ones are the lie detector tests, always the best. And Vanity Fair have also released a really cool style of interview where they get an actor or an actress to sit down and re-watch

the movies they're famous for. I played Kate Winslet's one, and that's where we learnt that Kate Winslet had, I think, had to kiss Leonardo DiCaprio ten or something times and said he was a bad kisser. I think it's called Break Down Their Iconic Roles on YouTube. Is that what it's called? No. Oh.

Oh, bugger. It's called re-watches. Oh, right. But they probably describe it as as she breaks down her iconic roles. Kate Hudson has done... Fool's Gold. Yes, Fool's Gold, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days,

Bride Wars, Almost Famous. Wait, both of those were with Matthew McConaughey. Yeah, I think she works with him a lot. Yeah. Yeah, and so the club I'm getting, I think, I just sent it to Paul, producer and EPL, like four seconds ago, so the band's frantically trying to get it.

Have we got it? No. Yeah, he's got it. Oh, round of applause for Jason. Get in, bro. The guy works fast. How quickly we got that audio. Don't worry about it.

Yeah, I'm all over it, guys. Normally being that quick isn't a good thing, but look at him. We really praise you for it. Thanks, guys. Has he loaded in the right bit? Okay, so I am going to have a bounce back to it as well. Oh, no, that'll take me a while to do.

Okay, so cast will do it. Oh, the old dog's a bit slow. I'm still waking up. So this is the part where she was watching How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days with Matthew McConaughey and they're singing Carly Simon on stage. Probably think this song is about you, don't you, don't you. Tone deaf and drunk is not a good combination.

It was truly an amazing experience and Matthew just brought it and he always does and I think without ego and without any sort of any of it he just brings so much amazing energy to everything he does no he's amazing he really is and I I know one of my husband's favorite books he's read especially autobiographies green light green light yeah I loved it highly recommend to anybody to read that but also something about Kate Hudson where has she gone wrong in her career? She's one of these ones that have just laid under the radar. She's very cool.

She's done great movies. Maybe not Oscar award movies like Demi Moore did. But she was, for a while, I think early 2000s, she was kind of the it girl. In the book Greenlight, Matthew McConaughey talks about the fact that he's just doing rom-coms. Probably the same as Kate Hudson. And then he's just doing rom-coms, probably the same as Kate Hudson. And then he started rejecting any rom-com audition.

Interstellar and stuff, right? Yeah, and he was like, no, I'm not doing rom-coms. I want something grittier. And then they came back to him and they'd offer him $2 million, $4 million, $8 million. He said he turned down the same role that he already rejected for $14 million when he hadn't worked for two years just to say to people, I'm not doing rom-coms anymore. Wow.

And maybe you have to... And he did really well with that. And it worked for him, but maybe it doesn't work for everyone. And also, maybe she doesn't want to. Maybe she's like, I'm good at rom-coms because that's her latest thing, right? Has anyone watched on Netflix?

She's doing a TV series about taking over a basketball team or something. I saw a little trailer. Yeah, I haven't watched it yet. But maybe Kate's like, I like doing them. They're fun, they're easy, they're not too gritty. But we are going to get a bounce back if you want to watch the whole thing.

How do you spell Kate? Does it have an I in it? Nah, I've got it. The bounce back's Kate. You can text it to 3343. It's 16 minutes today. Watch her over your lunch break and wanting tea. She's very lovable.

I think my sexual awakening was her in Almost Famous. She'd like, I remember watching her, she strips down to her undies and they're bouncing on the bed. I remember rewinding that on tape. She's unreal. The yellow dress that she wore

in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is still spoken about at proms today with Gen Z. She's iconic. So yeah, really cool to see her still succeeding. It's funny When you're watching

That VHS tape And when he gets to that scene It's all like All black Because Dan's gone back And rewatched it so many times Yeah She's the daughter of

Goldie Hawn And Kurt Russell Yep She is Clint, Meg and Dan Oh my gosh Yeah and we'll see you out With a voucher to spend in store at Zed. Really cool, today only, Zed reward bonus day, save you 10 cents per litre.

Terms apply. So if you've got the petrol light on. Oh, I do, and I've got no water in my wipers, so I need to go and fill it up. Oh, yeah, go and fill them both up. Yeah, they won't charge you for the water part. No, no. It's free. So we need to go and fill it up. Oh, yeah, go and fill them both up. Yeah, they won't charge you for the water part. No, no. It's free. So we're talking to Jenny this morning.

Morning, Jen. No. Carl's talking to her. She's still. Carl, you're hogging Jenny. Get off the phone. Okay, hold on. He's hogging Jenny.

He's hogging her. There you go. Let me have her. No. There we go Hi Jenny How are you? I'm really well this morning

Oh good How are you? Oh I'm good Thank you Jenny We are looking at Jenny Who is a general manager Of a renovation company Oh she's a good friend to have

Yeah Nickname is Generator So you know that she's Yeah She gets the She generates stuff Mitzi She drives a Mitzi ASX.

She's got a fiancé. She actually is getting married in August with a 19-year-old son. Not to him. Just with his one. And at a party, a kid once yanked on her dress and the whole thing came down. She wasn't wearing bras or underwear. Wow! Which, Jenny, I have questions about.

Wow! I have big questions about. Okay. How often are you going out doing that? Well, no, no. Don't answer that, Jenny. That actually leads into my question. Oh, okay.

How many times? Okay, I don't know whether we do the, why wasn't she wearing any underwear and bra, or how many times since? Yeah, well, when was the last time? When was the last time she did it? I wonder whether. Yeah, the last time,

because then we can try and maybe work out how... Because she may have never done it since. When was the last time that Jenny went completely commando since the incident at the party? I'm saying that was the last time she's never done it again. Yeah. I reckon she likes the feel of no knickers. Anyone who's done it once will do it twice.

Yeah, and she hasn't let that defer her from doing it. It was years ago, so when did she last do it? I think she did it, or she's done it once this year at least. At least. So 2025? Yeah. Okay, and I'm going to say she did it. I'm going to be more specific.

I'm going to say she did it the date before the time her fiancé proposed. Oh, my God. So I think he was like, I'm going to wipe this girl up. And then the next day, you were like, it works. Jenny's notorious for being a commando. Jenny, when was the last time you went commando? Okay, whenever. Who was the closest one?

Not a word. Yeah, just the closest one, whoever was closest. Yeah. Well, I think it was Dan. Dan's the closest. Okay, so it's been this year. Yeah, this year, was Dan. Dan's the closest. Okay, so it's been this year. This year in 2025. All right, the generator.

I love that about you, Jenny. I'm the same. Do you sleep nude? I sleep nude. Oh, her phone's so bad. I've got so many questions about why she doesn't wear... Carl, this is the second day in a row we've had a caller in this segment. Oh, what are you going to do to him?

What are you going to him? Get him fired. Don't do that. Do you know how much more work you would have? I'm not taking on any of his responsibilities. That's on you, Dan. It's such a shame because, okay, Jenny, you need to text us or talk to Producer Carl because I'd love to know why you were also completely nude.

Jenny, are you there? Carl, you were on here with us. Jenny, you need to be fired now. Hey, don't we? Carl, you're on air with us. She's really quiet now. Hey, don't we say if it's early and before 6.30? Yeah, they were replying to the producers as well. It does, it does. Yeah. We did a test yesterday as a team, the full team.

Also, Yaz from the day show, she did it with us. So we've got Bella, producer Nipia, who recently took over from Brock, by the way, if you didn't know. Producer Carl, Dan, me and Clint. We did a driver's license test. We've got results coming up, I think. Yeah, supposedly the trick, if you didn't know. Producer Carl, Dan, me and Clint, we did a driver's licence test and we've got results coming up, I think. Yeah, supposedly the trickiest place to get a pass is in Wellington, by the way.

Most likely to fail and most likely place to catch an STI. Wow. It's been a hell of a week for Wellington. Wow. Clint, Meg and Dan. Let's go. We did a learner's driver's test yesterday. We being Dan, Clint, I, producer Carl, producer Nipia,

Web Girl Bella, and yes, from the day show. We did it. Boss Casey set it up. Dan, what was the reason we were doing this again? It was because I have seen, there's been a few news stories around saying that New Zealand drivers, like some of the testing in New Zealand is some of the easiest worldwide. Okay.

But then I also thought, I've had my driver's license for 10 years now, or over 10 years. Like, do you lose some of the knowledge of the road rules and stuff after 10 years? I think you should have to re-sit it. I agree. We were talking about how it's bizarre that you sit it once when you're 17 and then you do it again when you're like 85 or something for re-sitting it then. Right, I have some of the, some facts, not the results, but these are some facts. Before we get to the results, we're going to be getting into those at...

Eight o'clock. Thank you. So a pass was 18 out of 20. You could only get two wrong. Because normally I think the road codes, I think you have to get, you're allowed three wrong out of 35. But our boss was like, oh, well, I'll do less questions. You're only allowed to get two wrong. Our pass was 18 out of 20.

Four out of seven of us got less than 15. Oh, no. That's a hard fail. Very hard. That's a really bad fail. If you need to do the maths there That's a C- I think I don't even know if you can get much lower

Normally in university you just have to get more than 50% Unfortunately if you're going to drive on the road They require a higher pass rate Those people should not be on the road If they don't know that many road rules Careful, 4 out of 7 I don't feel confident enough to say a statement like that I feel like I got...

I would say that that person who got that amount would be fine. Okay. Only one person out of all the seven of us that did the test, only one person knows what speed to drive past children getting out of a school bus is. I think that person's me. I'm pretty confident in my answer. Dan went 20 kilometres an hour.

I put 20, so it can't be, because then we both put it, then we're both wrong! I said to Dan, that is crawling! 20 is crawling, the people behind you would be Google that. Don't you Google it, don't you Google it, we'll get the results later. I went 30. I was like, 30 is pretty slow. Oh my god, watching the light

come out of his eyes then. Sorry Dan, but I also put 20, which means it can't be us. Did you write it properly? Did the two look like a three by any chance? I think schools, the speed limit's 30k. I thought it was 20. Schools are, yes, but a bus? Oh, well, that's around a school.

Right. If a road is unmarked, which I was a little concerned because I know Web Girl Bella asked the question, said, what is an unmarked road when we're in our test? Brilliant. She wants the question explained. If a road is unmarked, somebody in the show or somebody who took the test, the other seven of us, thinks that you should just drive straight up the middle.

Up the middle? That was Bella. That was Bella. I would put money on that. It's Bella. She didn't know what an unmarked road was. So if they don't have the lines, the painted lines, you just drive straight up the guts.

I think what she would have been thinking was in the middle of your lane, but because there are no lanes, that's the issue. Poor old Bella. We don't know it was her. Poor Bella. I mean, first you got last in the IQ test and now this. Someone in the show stops at every pedestrian crossing even when no one is near it. She's just messaged me and said

FO, it wasn't me. Wait, someone wrote you stop if you can do a complete standstill at every pedestrian crossing even if there's no people on it. Someone in the show stops at every pedestrian crossing even when there's no one there. That's so...

I said do nothing in that question. Did you? I said slow down and then keep going. Yeah, slow down, check for pedestrians, and if there are none, just continue on. No, but don't bother slowing down if there's no pedestrians. It's safe, there's none. To be fair, I was driving with Dan the other morning

and he went through a red light. Oh, don't say that on him. And I said, Dan, that was a red light. And he goes, I just do that whenever I'm on. No, I do not do that. Oh, when no one's on the road at like 5am. Now, you should never do that, okay? No, but of course you should slow down.

It's a pedestrian. People can come, like, people can walk out across the road. You have to slow down and just be... Okay. Oh, mate, you definitely failed. You should never run a red light. 8am, find out who failed and who passed on the driver's licence test. Whoever failed has to have learner's plates in their car for the next month.

Oh, I'm hating that. By the way, if you do want to pass your test and you want to increase your chances, Taranaki, 70% pass rate. It's the easiest place to get your licence. And Wellington has the worst pass rate. So don't go sit your test there. It's a long way to drive if you're a North Sonota Taranaki just to get a driver's licence. But if you're desperate, get your mum to drive for Dad.

Political commentator Martin Bomber Bradbury joins us to talk about lynches in schools. Morning, Martin. Thanks for joining us. What's the current state of lynches in schools? Because there's a lot of chat about it at the moment in New Zealand. Yeah, oversaturation of information. Kia ora. Kia ora, comrades.

Well, I think we've got a situation where the government was so desperate to save some money anywhere they could find it, they took a great big scalpel to the schools and lunches programme, which a lot of New Zealanders really did enjoy and liked. And there had been some initial teething problems when Labour rolled it out, but those were worked out. And it was an $8 a meal cost. David Seymour came in and said,

look, we've got to make cuts everywhere. He's made this deal for $3 a lunch meal, and he promised it would save lots of money. But what's ended up, obviously, with a large transnational corporation who do have a questionable reputation overseas, they cut corners, they rushed food out, and you've ended up with a situation where a lot of kids are just not getting those meals. And I think the government's ended up sounding quite tone deaf with the Prime Minister, Chris Luxon, coming out saying, well, they can just make a Marmite sandwich.

So I think the backlash to this is quite large. So for anybody that hasn't been following this story, Martin, what's the average meal that they've been giving at the moment with the $3 a meal thing? What does it look like to a kid? I think it used to be like sushi and wraps and now it's... It's like a chicken nibble, right?

Well, it's mass-produced food, right? It's the kind of food that's very cheap, it's easy to reheat, there's not a hell of a lot of nutritious value involved. And also the other problem about it was that the original scheme provided 2,000 local jobs. These were local places making food for their local schools. If there was a problem and the kids didn't like something but the information could quickly get fed back i remember that when we went to this yeah yeah the kids were like we didn't like that once they changed it the next day and they're like we won't

do those again yeah exactly exactly so there was built within the system uh an ability to move with the kids this new system is just too underfunded to be able to have that kind of flexibility. We're getting texts from people saying, hey, our school in our area would be extremely grateful to have lunches in schools, but they don't. They're saying everyone pays taxes.

Why don't we all qualify regardless of decile? What's the argument against, I guess, expanding this out to all schools across the country, with the exception of obviously it being an immense cost? Oh, look, bless you for asking that question because that is actually where the debate needs to go. Look, New Zealand is a great place. If you're doing okay and you've got the skill set

and the educational ability to be able to move ahead, it is a great place to live. We are blessed. But there are pockets of our country where there's real poverty, there's real hardship, and we need to be able to expand these food and schools across as many schools as needed because we know that there are very rare silver bullets out there. Education is one of them. If you get the skills, if you get the abilities,

if you get the knowledge to be able to think for yourselves and as a citizen, you can go on and build a society better. But hungry kids don't learn. And if you've got all of these kids who are hungry at school, we are self-sabotaging ourselves. Martin, I don't believe anyone here on the show believes in things, but there have been a lot of comments and I've seen communications about people saying

it should be up to the parents to feed their own kids and this is like a waste of taxpayers' money at all. What do you have to say to those people that maybe are listening and getting frustrated? Oh, look, and of course it's frustrating, right? You're working so hard every day, paying your taxes,

and it does make you feel a bit grumpy. Well, you know, I'm able to look after my kids. Why can't others? And yes, that does make you feel frustrated, right? Let's acknowledge it. But what's the alternative? Oh, we're just going to make these kids go hungry because I don't like the parents.

That's not really a rational, fair position, I think, that we can give each other as citizens. This isn't America. We're not as angry with each other as they are over there. There is a little bit more give and take and love. And I think that, you know, being able to feed our kids in a land of milk and honey, that should be our first requirement. Yeah, yeah, I do agree with you.

I mean, we can say that the parents, some of them, you know, like whatever situation, there'll be some parents that are just bad parents. I don't think the kids should go off because of that, personally. And rich or poor, I think most parents would go happy days if my kid's lunch is getting provided at school. Maybe we'll take some more texts on this

because there are a lot of people saying that it shouldn't be the government's responsibility at all. And if you're going to have kids, then you should be able to feed them. Martin, thank you so much. I hear you've got the New Zealand's number one weekly political podcast, the Daily Blog and the Working Group podcast. Go you. Certainly do, certainly do.

It's on the Rover Network. Oh, good amongst you. All right, well, if you want to hear more from Martin and his weekly political views, then jump on the podcast, the daily blog and the working group podcast. Thanks so much for your time, Bomber. We appreciate it, mate. Thank you, comrades. Thank you very much.

Thanks, mate. Legend. All right. What do you think? Yeah, because I am seeing so many texts through going, hey, if you're going to have kids, feed them. Oh, I totally understand that. But in the end, it's still not the kids' fault.

Yeah, exactly. It's just not. Are you proud of me? I don't get political at all. Yeah, actually. You're holding a pair of scissors, Dan. I blame Christopher Lux. Clint, Meg and Dan win a share of $50, exactly. It's just not. Are you proud of me? I don't get political at all. Yeah, actually. You're holding a pair of scissors, Dan. I blame Christopher Luxon. Clint, Meg and Dan win a share of $50,000.

Cash. With the edge. Cash strapped. Strapped. New Zealand's fastest dash for cash. Coming to a town near you in just a couple of days. We are going to be strapping $2,000 and a double pass to Jim Beam, homegrown to Harrison from the Edge Afternoons.

And he's going to be running around at Kelburn Park in Wellington, 8am this Friday. But right now, we're playing on here. Meg will offer you some cash. You can take it and run, or take the mystery amount strapped to Dan. Hey, Holly. Hi. Morning, Holly. Holly,

you need to go to the dentist. Yes, I do. Okay. You and me both, Holly. Holly, you need to go to the dentist. Yes, I do. Okay. You and me both, Holly. I'm here for lunch. When was the last time you went to the dentist? Probably nearly 10 years ago. Ooh.

Ooh. Holly. I was going to say three years for me, but 10 years is a long time. I went last, ooh, months ago. Yeah. Last year officially. You should go every year, they say, don't they? Yeah.

Well, expect a big bill, because I imagine if you chip away at it and you go every year, it's probably... Or it could be a very low bill, Clint. It could be a very, very reasonable bill. You haven't been for 10 years. Imagine taking your car to get a service after 10 years. They'll be like, Jesus. Holly flosses.

She looks after her teeth. And I think my offer, Holly, will help you out. Meg's going to be a cheapskate. I'm not going to be a cheapskate. My boss is going to be a cheapskate. Okay, what's the offer? Come on. 400 bucks. 400 bucks is a good offer. Oh, well there you go, but you guys keep

talking about 10 years of dental work and I had a friend that once came out with a $10,000 quote. Jeepers! You've got some issues if it's more than $400 worth of work. Holly, mine hasn't been for 10 years. Okay. All right, Holly. $400's a good offer.

You go into the dentist. I don't know. As always, I don't know what is in the vest. What do you think, Holly? What are you thinking? $400. Do you know what you need? $400 would be good, but I think I'll take the gamble.

Ooh, okay. She's turning down $400. The money that is strapped to Dan's fist. Okay, good luck, Holly. I want to try and get you some new teeth. I want to get you some, what do they call them? Porcelain veneers. Okay, well, $400 is gone.

You now have nothing, Holly. Whatever's strapped to Dan is yours instead. Okay. Holly, you're going to the dentist and you're getting $180 worth of work. Oh, yeah, okay. I think it's still worth the sound effect. Yeah, I mean, it's not as much as Meg offered you.

No, that's okay. You lost half of it, but still $180 is more than some have left with. No, don't talk like that. She just lost $400. No, well, she lost $220. Yeah, that's better. That's good maths, Clint, actually. That's really good maths.

All right, Holly, good luck. Thank you. Good luck, Holly. Yeah, I mean, chances are she'll go to the dentist and they'll go, these are some of the most beautiful pearly whites we've ever seen. Oh, they might say mint teeth like they do to Clint. Do you think it's funny when people text, oh, I feel sorry for her, and it's like, oh, no,

she was offered $400 and she rolled the dice. She turned it away. Coming up next, I go through Dan's Google history. I've already been through it. Why do we think he is Googling about his itchy ear? Has it been solved? No. Okay, still there. No one said.

Clint, Meg and Dan. Would you give your phone to your friends and let them go through your Google history? Thankfully Dan does. Yeah, I've gone through Dan's Google history, as I do every week. One of them just last night, do cats farts smell and do cats fart? Well, yeah, my wife Hannah was accusing Kimmy, my cat, of doing it. But I was under the impression it was her. There was a bit of a debate in the house.

It turns out that I Googled it and cats, it's very rare for their ones to smell. He said this morning, didn't he, Clint, that he got sent that pearl necklace. It's interesting because just a few days ago he was Googling men's necklace, men's necklace, pearl necklace, men's necklace bead, and then men pearl necklace. So I don't know what would have come up with that last one. Jesus. I was Googling men pearl necklace. What sort of image is me again?

I hope your safe search was on there I was trying to find out how much it was worth Oh my god Because it's not actually real pearls No it won't be So when you googled how much for a pearl necklace What came back? It was like $14

But anyway I don't want to poo poo it You've got to poo poo it Just the other day Dan and I were having a private conversation. We were texting each other and we were sending each other the PR that's been going around for Blake Lively, Anna Kendrick's new movie, which is called A Simple Favour 2. And I said to him, because he sent me a video of Anna Kendrick obviously not getting along with Blake. I've got beef. Nobody likes Blake. I've got full beef.

Yeah, fair. But I've heard also Anna Kendrick is not a very nice person. Which I don't know if Dan believed because then he Googled straight after that conversation is Anna Kendrick nice? And then he said, is Anna Kendrick a bitch? Just to prove if I was right or wrong. And I tell you what, there's a lot of discourse on Reddit

about her being a little bit of a B. Told you, see? A lot of people that have had interactions with her in restaurants or whatever. I've heard it. And she's been, like, really rude to them. Which surprises me about Anna. I wondered that just, like, yesterday. Because everyone has that person in the workplace that is really difficult to get along with.

But if you are a nice person, like, you do well or better than others at just hiding it. But Anna, I think, makes it very known that she's not a fan. And I'm like, maybe she just doesn't put up with BS. And sometimes that can be true. Yeah, and that comes across like a bitch. But I feel like, yeah, she just wears her heart on her sleeve. And my favourite Google search from Dan of the week is Dan first searched sports to make friends, which I thought was really sweet.

But he wasn't looking to join sports to make friends, Clint. He was actually looking for sports that would make sure he doesn't because then he Googled solo sports, 90 of the best solo sports, rock climbing and swimming. Can I do sports solo? So I think you wanted to make sure you didn't make friends in whatever team you were in. I just wanted them. I actually do want friends.

I counted my friends that live in New Zealand now and it's zero apart from you two. So I need, if anybody wants to be my friend and go on a date with me. Then why are you Googling solo sports? Because you can still make friends within solo except you don't have to constantly hang out with them. Tamon's a friend that only wants to hang out

with him as much as Dan can tolerate him. Yeah. So you want to hang out once a month and call me a friend? We can do a friend search and audition different friends.

I'm sure there's people that listen to the show that feel like they know you well enough that they go we can all hang out. Yeah, I'd love to genuinely have a friend that I can be like that's my best mate.

Clint, Meg and Dan. Scandal with Meg. Scandal, thanks to you will tell us with Meg. Scandal thanks to New World. Tell us a wonderful thing that could happen to your loved one at theedge.rover.nz and the next Wednesday might become a little more wonderful thanks to New World. Actually, we're going to be doing that just after 9 o'clock

this morning. Someone's going to be surprised. I loved the last one. So very excited about that. Very excited. That could be you. Feel good vibes. Katy Perry is doing another tour, which is interesting because I don't think her album did very well. But I think it would still be an epic show. I don't want to speak out of tone here. There we go.

Out of turn? Out of turn. Maybe that's the right phrase. But I saw the video of her yesterday. She's got very skinny, hasn't she? Like, lost a lot of weight. Not that she needed to. Oh, sounds like body shaming.

Well, not body shaming. Sounds like you're commenting on a woman's body when she didn't ask. And you led with, you know, I don't want to speak out of turn and then... No, because I knew it could come across that way, but I don't mean it to be. I just didn't think she looked... Oh, we're worried about her, are we? Yeah. I don't think you can comment on a woman's body and then say I'm worried about you. God, I'm gutted I did then. Sorry, I shouldn't mean it to be. I just didn't think she looked. Oh, we're worried about her, are we? I don't think you can comment on a woman's body and say I'm worried about you.

God, I'm gutted I did then. Sorry, I shouldn't have said anything. I'm just worried about poor Katie. Put on weight. You've lost too much weight. I'm worried about you. I don't think that helps. I almost didn't recognise her.

Put it that way. I was like, is that Katie Perry? Oh, he's doubling down. Okay, enough. Sorry. Enough. Put it this way. I don't find her attractive anymore. Oh, no.

She should get some weight on her, get some meat on her bones. Now you guys are adding to it, which is a shame, really. Okay, well, in that video that Dan was judging, she popped out and she bumped into a Rebecca Black. And how do I even describe what Rebecca Black is wearing, boys? I didn't recognise her either to be honest Rebecca Black has read

a very very obviously fake huge set of prosthetic movies oh yeah yeah no one's thinking that real they were

comically large comically large and I believe they're going on tour together of all things of all people so they is she like opening Rebecca

I think so yeah Rebecca Black I think you're getting too big for these theaters. Okay. You want to join me on the Lifetime tour? Like now? Yeah, let's go.

Okay. Okay, I'll go. I didn't get what the boob gag was. Well, I think it was because she's getting too big for these smaller concerts. Right, okay. So the gag was that her boobs were too big for her. I don't know. It was weird.

You can check out her Instagram if you want to see it. She isn't coming to New Zealand, but Sydney, Melbourne, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, if you really want to go over and see both Rebecca Black. And I'm guessing she's coming the whole tour now. I saw her the last time I think she came to New Zealand. It was about 10 years ago now. I think it was the Teenage Dream tour. Yeah.

An amazing show. Oh, yeah. Even when you walked in, it smelled like bubblegum. Really? For some reason, they spray the smell into the arena and it smelled like bubblegum as soon as you walked in. I don't doubt for a second, whether you like her new album or not,

that Katy Perry will put on a hell of a show. She's known for it, right? She's just known for going extra above and beyond. It'll be a hell of a lot of fun to go to. You've seen the video, the Rebecca Black Katy Perry vid? Yes. You're used to commenting on women's bodies. What did you think of the size of Rebecca's fake boobs?

I'd blow it away. But I knew that they were fake. I mean, come on. Hey, I didn't mean it to be a bad thing. I just didn't recognise it. That's all. All right, cast wrap back at 8 o'clock. We'll do that in just over 30 minutes.

But Dan says he's got a surprise for us. Yeah, a little surprise for you guys. And it's to do with looks again. Oh, my God. How hilarious that this has come up right now. And someone that judges people's looks. Not me. Another man.

Clint, Meg and Dan. Dan's got a little surprise for us. Something I think he's been squirrelling away on behind the scenes, which should be interesting. Yeah, I think if I was an animal, I'd be a little squirrel. Always squirrelling away, aren't I, Meg? Always working for something. You are always squirrelling away, actually.

I will say that. I'm always trying to do something. Playing with a few nuts and stuff. Yes. And anyway, so I found this guy on Instagram. He goes by the name of thelooksman.ig. Okay. And he actually hasn't sort of hit the big time yet,

but I think he's going to. Because what he does is he rates celebrities. Judges people's looks? Judges people's looks, yeah. That's what we need more of. Yeah. I think, hmm, what are we missing in 2025? Yeah.

But he doesn't do it. Why hasn't this guy taken off? Why is his Instagram not blown up? Yeah. Wow. He's doing something different for once. No, but he's doing it in a way, I don't think it's necessarily mean, the way he does it. And you'll see why.

It's because it's real. Yeah. It's because it's real. It's because it's based on science. So what he does, I think he only does guys at the moment as well, so male celebrities. Okay. Am I going to be his first lady?

I hope so. And so what he does, I'm going to play you a few clips. He's done a lot of very famous, traditionally as well, handsome men, famous men, and he's rated them. The first one I'm going to play you is Jacob Elordi. Oh, he was from Saltburn. Yeah, Saltburn. He's done a lot of other films and TV shows as well.

Quite attractive. He's the it guy at the moment. This is how he rates him. Jacob Elordi has a negative camphor tilt, making him look like Droopy the dog, and he could do with less upper eyelid exposure. His facial thirds are almost perfectly balanced, and he has an ideal face height to width ratio.

Overall, Jacob Elordi can be considered above average with a rating of 6.5 out of 10. Okay. Out of 10, it just cuts off towards the end there. So he gives Jacob Elordi a 6.5 out of 10. And he bases it on a whole load of different scientific paradigms that are traditionally attractive. That's low for Jacob. Six and a half. I'm not feeling confident.

He's a model. I'm not feeling very good at all. He's also done Ryan Gosling. Okay, so he'll be, you know, upper echelon, nines, tens. Arguably the hottest man on the planet. How attractive is Ryan Gosling? From the side profile point of view, his jaw is lacking visibility. His ramus is very short, giving him also a bad gonial angle.

Overall, Ryan Gosling can be considered average with a rating of 5.5 out of 10. Lower than Jacob and Rory. This guy's shocking. Credibility's going down the drain. But I think what it does

prove as well that maybe scientifically on paper, good looks don't match what you actually are attractiveness, you know? Wow.

So I think Meg, looking at, like, the way he rates people, I think you have got a traditionally very attractive face. I'm going on what he says. I'm trying to find the insult in here. He did say that. No insult. No insult. No insult? No.

Okay, he does Chalamet as well, right? Yeah, yeah, Chalamet. Okay. Oh, he's the very model-looking person. He is, yeah. How attractive is Timothee Chalamet? Timothee Chalamet looks like an old dog. From the side profile point of view, his jaw is very sharp.

However, his ramus is very short, and he is lacking forward growth having a recessed jaw. Overall, Timothee Chalamet can be considered average with a rating of 6 out of 10. It's very rare for him to give them more than like a 7. I can't wait. So I've engaged him. I'm trying to sort of maybe,

I've hopefully got him for an interview tomorrow, this guy. If this man says Meg looks like a dog. Well, he said it about Chalamet. I am proud to be a woman that I guess can take this and not like be too worried about it to be his first lady. He can experiment, I guess, on me on how far she goes. I originally just said Clint and I can do it because I didn't want... But Meg was like, I'll do it.

I want to do it. So good on you. Yeah, I don't... It doesn't bother me. My husband thinks I'm hot, so that's all that matters. That's all that matters, right? Yeah. I just want to know what his, like, credentials are.

Like, what sort of science he's actually using. You're already getting defensive. He's using bone structure, eye width, nose length. Yeah, but when he works it out, he's going, it's no good. And that's based on what? I think based on paradigms within the attractiveness world, you know? So he's saying that a jawline, a really, really strong jawline is traditionally attractive on a man.

Yeah, that means I'm stuffed. But maybe it's not for a woman. Maybe it's not for a woman. So we're going to chat to him tomorrow. And Jolie's a dog, eh? Is there anything better than a five and a half? Ooh, yuck, strong jawlines. Give me a nightly.

Yuck. We're going to ask him about this tomorrow and then he's going to do a specific rating for all three of us. Brilliant. Can't wait. Great. Thank you, Dan. You do spoil us.

Yeah, I do. Clint, Meg and Dan. Haven't done this one before. The quiz where niche knowledge meets crushing disappointment. This is the specific specialist. Yes, what are you a specific specialist in? It should be niche, and it should be something that you would be better than most people in a room at doing. Yeah, I think the nicher the better, because if it's really, really niche,

maybe you could be the best in the world at that particular topic. That's true. If it's really niche, yeah, very much I could claim that. It's how people end up getting world records because they make it so specific that arguably they're the only person that's ever done it and that's why they're the best at it. One of the best ones I've ever witnessed, you may remember Jaden, who used to host the Afternoon Show here at The Edge

with Sharon, and he loved Game of Thrones to the point where I'd say he's probably one of the biggest Game of Thrones fans in the world. Wow. And you could say any quote, name anything that happens in an episode of Game of Thrones, and he'd be able to tell you the season, the episode, and the name of that episode. That's amazing. Like, without fail.

I would say, I don't know how well I've backed myself since I've never tested it, but with Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, I've seen those movies so many times. If you said a quote from any of the movies, I think I'd be able to guess the character. Oh, who said it? Yeah, who said it? If you just give me any sort of quote, I think I'd be able to do that since I know the movies so well. Okay, I'm going to test you right now. Okay.

Who said this? I don't know half of you, half as well as I should like. Bilbo. Brilliant. First movie. First 20 or so minutes. All right. Well, I guess you don't want it to all be movie trivia,

but to stay in that vein. Yours is the same, Clint. Yours is Cool Runnings, though. Yeah, mine would be Cool Runnings. So mine would be, I don't know if I go finishing a quote that you give me or you could read you could give me a

part from Cool Runnings and I reckon I could tell you at what point in the movie that quote is said within five minutes either side see I love that that is very very specific

so it's about an hour forty the movie and I reckon I could go oh fast forward to forty six minutes in and that's when you'll find that scene oh that's good

that's a really good one to have, actually. When I was watching the Taylor Swift Eros Tour three-hour show on the weekend, I was trying to find certain songs, and I thought this would be a good hack to have of trying to know exactly whereabouts in the concert she sang a song. So that might be you. That could be your one. Producer Nipia has slipped in a bit of audio. This is a quote from the movie, Clint.

If you listen to this, where does this play in the movie? Okay. That's a bobs audio. This is a quote from the movie, Clint. If you listen to this, where does this play in the movie? That's a bobsled. So a bobsled is a pushcart with no wheels. That's what it looks like here. Let me see that. I would say

that's when he's trying to recruit because he's already been tripped up in the race. So now he's trying to start a bobsled team so he can get to the Olympics. We don't need all your thinking. 18 minutes in.

Oh, it's about the first 15. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It is. It is. I realise all three of us are slightly autistic. Yeah. Oh, gosh.

I think this is what this is actually. 100%. We're all on the spectrum. Daniels, yours is Formula One championships. Yeah, we've tested this before, but I know, I think from the 90s onwards, which driver won the World Championship of the World Fitness? From when it started. No, God, no, no, no. Well, from when? Not that good. From the 90s onwards which driver won the world championship of the world from when it started no god

no no no not that good from the 90s so the last 30 years or so I'll give you three oh three no just one okay so best

oh no I said the wrong name why are you look at you panicking you said you're the specialist 1999 1999 would have been that's hard

that's hard oh no it's either Micka Hackerman or Michael Schumacher no he's done it and then Michael won the next year That's a hard one. Nine would have been... That's hard....fair. Oh, no. It's either Mika Hakkinen or Michael Schumacher. No, he's done it. And then Michael won the next year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so there you go. Wow, hold on.

We're all professionals. He picked two names. I didn't pick two times. You didn't pick two characters. No, I was thinking. I was saying it's either Mika Hakkinen or Michael Schumacher. Okay, give me one more. 2017.

2017 was... Lewis Hamilton. Correct. Yeah. I think we are all on Lewis Hamilton. Correct. Yeah. I think we are all on the spectrum. 2004. 2004. That would have been...

I like testing his skill, actually. That's amazing. That would have been... Schumacher, I think. Yes, correct. Michael Schumacher. Wow. See?

Wow, okay. That's good. I love how I got four questions, you got one. Anyway. Is there something that you're a specialist at that you think the nicher the better, we want to try and kind of test people out? The quiz where niche knowledge meets crushing disappointment. This is the specific specialist.

All right, we're looking for the specialist in you. What is the very specific thing that you reckon you would beat most people at? Or nail five from five, perfect score. There might be a very large cash prize that will be offered if we can get this new idea off the ground. The more specific, the better as well. Absolutely. We've got Sophia on the line. Sophia really loves cetaceans.

How do you pronounce it, Sophia? They're whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Cetaceans? Yeah, cetaceans. Cetaceans. How do you pronounce this, Sophia? They're whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Cetaceans? Yeah, cetaceans. Cetaceans. Do you know what? I would have thought that was a bug. What defines a cetacean?

A blowhole, is that part of it? Yeah, it's essentially just the makeup of what a whale, a dolphin, or a porpoise is. Because they're all considered mammals, aren't they? Yeah. Okay, how many species of dolphins are there? Well, I don't know the exact number of species of dolphins. Okay, it's not looking good so far.

Okay, what about how many stomachs the dolphins have? One. They have two stomachs. All right, Sophie, we're going to get you to work on it. Yeah, you go away. And then two stomachs. All right, Sophie, we're going to get you to work on it. Yeah, you go away. And then you come back. I've always said the dolphin's the cow of the ocean. I love you, Sophia.

But they have three stomachs cows. What's like a downgrade from a specialist? She's all right. She's better than me. I know a bit about dolphins. Yeah, she knows a bit. Tate, it's actually your boyfriend that knows a specialist skill. What is his?

He knows exactly what helicopter is flying over based on the sound. Oh, your boyfriend and I would get on. I feel like I'm the same as him. Like whenever a helicopter flies over, I go, oh, that's the Northern Rescue helicopter. Hannah gets pissed off at me. But it's true. You can just sound by the rotor noise.

Okay. Yeah. Really? That's exciting. The problem is it's very... It gets it right every time. But how do you know? How can you confirm it?

It's so high up, you can just say whatever he wants and you just got to be like, okay, you can't prove him wrong. You can tell the model. There's an app called Flight Radar, so you can see what's flying over. So I always test him on it, and he's never been wrong. Well done, Tate.

That's so good. I love how you're like, you could be talking crap here, so I'm going to check you. And then you realise you're either proven as bullshit or he's not. We need to go to an airport with him and helicopters that fly over test him. Blindfold him. Yeah, blindfold him and test him. That's not bad. I don't mind that as a skill to test because we're, I guess,

throwing the net out to see which ones, I guess, tickle our fancy, to see which ones we can then test. We had a few on our Facebook page as well. Yeah, there was a lot of people texting through a lot of episode stuff. So someone that is an expert on Friends episodes, you could play them just a clip from an episode, and they'd be able to go, that was the one that XYZ season one, season two. Oh, so season three, episode six.

Yeah. Because that's impressive. It's a huge catalogue of friends. I also like this one. My partner can tell which fire truck is from which station in Northland.

Now that's specific. That is very specific. How many fire stations are in Northland though? There's only two. It's not that impressive. Wow, I like that one. True.

Yeah, the more specific, the better. If you have a skill, your partner or friend has one where it's like, you guys need to see this. Witness it to believe it. Zoe messaged us yesterday because we put a call out on our Edge Breakfast Podcast fam. You can be a member if you just text, is it? Fam. F-A-M-M.

Fam for family. Yeah, join that And she said that She's rusty now But she thinks She could name Any Bruce Springsteen song Within the first 10 seconds of it playing

Oh yeah that's good 10 seconds And he's done a lot of songs So Clint Huge back catalogue Me can pick A Katy Perry song With the first 10 seconds

That's a long time Thank you Yeah but he's got like 50 albums Yeah It's a long back catal. That's a long time. Thank you. Yeah, but he's got like 50 albums. Yeah. It's a long back catalogue of stuff. Okay, alright. I don't know if the boss will love us doing that one on the air though. Maybe these are just sparking

ideas in you now. Keep them coming because we do want to make this a thing. Texas3343. People were saying things about Harry Potter. Kids that are good with earthquakes and tornadoes specifically. My brother when he was was, I think, four or five, could name every single dinosaur by looking at it, which is pretty impressive for a five-year-old.

He would have lost it now. Yeah, Nikita said that she knows a weird amount about the Wiggles' personal lives. That's interesting. Who was their ex-ex-girlfriend? Yeah, so make sure you text us 3343. If you've just figured out your specialist subject. We could be bringing this back and making it a thing. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.

Win a share of $50,000. Cash. With the edge. Cash trapped. Trapped. Big chunk of it going to be given away on Friday, 8am, Kelburn Park in Wellington. If you can get there on Friday.

$2,000 and a double pass to the last ever Jim Beam homegrown on Wellington's waterfront. The person that got through this morning, it is Caroline. Hi, Caroline. Good morning. Good morning, Caroline. What do you need cash for this time around? My beautiful daughter is turning five in a couple of weeks

and we're getting her a bouncy castle for her birthday. That's exciting. Dream. Okay. So what do you need the money for? Are you hoping to get a bouncy castle, or do you want reimbursement for the bouncy castle? Is it a hire?

So pay for the hire of the bouncy castle. Okay, well, I would never. If you told me a figure, I wouldn't know what it is to hire a bouncy castle. I guess it depends. Not all bouncy castles are created equal. That's true. Okay. I guess it depends. Not all bouncy castles are created equal. That's true. Okay.

$250, Caroline. What does that do for you? That sounds pretty good. Oh, okay. Okay. How much has the bouncy castle got your eye on? It's $350. Okay.

Now that sounds like a good bouncy castle if you're just hiring it. Yeah, because some of them have Elsa on them and Little Mermaid. Some have slides. Okay. Now that sounds like a good bouncy castle if you're just hiring it. Yeah, because some of them have Elsa on them and Little Mermaid. Some have slides. Okay. You could upgrade. We could. Hang on. I'll ask my daughter.

Should we take the offer or should we go and chance it? Chance it? Oh, I've got a little gambler on my hand. No, I'll offer you $300. Oh, God. Should we do $300 or still chance it? Was she in the small gamble? Chance it?

No, $350. $350. How am I fighting with a five-year-old? Four-year-old. Okay. $350. You can take exactly what you need. She's a strong-minded one.

Okay. Take exactly what you need or go with Dan. This is going to be a good lesson. Do you want to chance it again or? Okay. $350. All right, final decision. Should we chance it, Kayleigh?

Yeah? Okay, she's saying we'll chance it. That's because you're talking to a four-year-old. She doesn't know how much $350 is. They've locked it in. They've locked it in. You've decided to chance it. They've locked it in.

I'm really worried about this cool memory, Lisa, and it's either going to teach her to gamble or she's going to be very... Yeah, actually, I hope that if Dan's only got 50 bucks strapped to him, that she doesn't get a bouncy castle. That's okay. Otherwise, she's learned nothing. I'm going into the mess. The cash

that is strapped to me, Caroline. Dan. Caroline. Caroline, your daughter is not getting a bouncy castle for her birthday. She's getting two of them! $700! We've just put a four-year-old to Campbell. Absolutely just a four-year-old to gamble. It absolutely does. All right, well, that just changed her brain chemistry for the rest of her life.

That's good. It's not gambling. What we've taught is to always take chances in life. Take a risk. Because if you don't take those risks, you never know where you'll go. I mean. Exactly. All right, have the best birthday, Caroline,

with your daughter. Thank you so much, guys. You're welcome. When I saw you pull the figure out and I saw 7-0, I thought she got 70 bucks.

I was like, got it. 7-0-0. 700. Would you pass your learner's license if you had to sit the test again

without studying? We had to do it yesterday and I've got the results coming up. I was fairly confident when we posed that question yesterday. Not knowing the results now, less, much less confident. If we fail, we still get to keep our licence, eh? Yeah, well, that's the good thing, I think.

Oh, good, because I really like driving. I do think we all have to wear, well, whoever loses has to wear learner plates, though. Not physically, and I've got it in my car. I know. We'll get to that next. The learner plates go to the person who finished last or everyone who failed? Everyone that failed. And four of us did out of seven.

I know, four of us got less than 15. I don't know how many passed and how many failed. Oh, my God. Oh, God, and I've seen the learner plate that they've printed, and it says L, like the normal thing, but then it says warning shit driver. Oh, God. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Yesterday on the show, we were talking

about the easiest and hardest places to sit your driver test if you've been failing over and over and over. And this challenge got put to us yesterday morning. If you think you can do your driving test and actually pass, I'll arrange it. I'll get an instructor tomorrow and

I'll get someone to actually test you. He would be blown away. I reckon I'd get an instructor tomorrow and I'll get someone to actually test you. I reckon he would be blown away. I reckon I'd get a perfect score. The rules were a pass was 18 out of 20. And if you didn't pass, you had to wear learner's licence plates. I believe that's what our boss told us. Yeah, so yesterday after the show, we all went into a boardroom meeting. Our boss was already sitting there with our exams and he took it very seriously.

Oh, yeah. But there was a lot of confusion around certain questions from people who all currently hold their full driver's licence. Wait, so am I the bike or the car? You're the one with the dotted line. That's a bike. That's a bike, yeah. Whatever it is.

What? Oh, that's a... Okay, it doesn't matter what the image is. Oh, so it's just that, yeah, just imagine. What is that person that's doing that? Okay. Oh, where are the dotted lines? What's the cyclist meant to do?

That's not a cyclist, is it? Yeah. Okay. Whatever that vehicle is. I did what they're meant to do. Sorry. Cyclist's good way to end it. Oh, thank God.

Because you told me it's the wrong one and everyone else. Oh, okay. We'll get a point for this. And Meg had already left the exam by then. I'd already left, so I definitely asked the boss with that question. He said I was the car, not the cyclist. So if I fail by one point, does anybody know if he marked that? There's got to be a recount on that question for sure.

There's a bit of confusion. I heard him saying, well, I guess you're all going to get a point for that one because he realised that was his mistake. I did hear him say that. The boss isn't here yet, but boss, if you can text me, can you confirm Can you confirm That you gave everybody The point for that one

Since it was your fault I think it was a fair test In the end No but he also put in questions That aren't in the road code Because there was one saying If you're over 20 Are you allowed to have a beer

Whilst driving If you're under the legal limit And I was like They'd never put that In the road code If that was like a yes So I said no of course you can't And he said yep

You are allowed to drink and drive if you're under the limit. Listen to you, Clint. You're already making excuses. You don't even know if you've failed or passed yet. Also, is that true? Because I don't want to put that out on the radio if that's not true. Are you allowed to drink a beer over the age of 20 as long as you're under the limit? I'm getting nods from the producer booth.

I think within reason you shouldn't be drinking at all while driving. Yeah, I mean you shouldn't, but legally you're not going to get pulled over and arrested for drinking and driving while still under the limit. Seems crazy. Okay. I have the results. The people that took the test was Daniel,

Clint, me, producer Nipia, producer Carl, web girl Bella and yeah, there's the boss I'm going to get him to come in and Yasmina who does our day show All full licence holders, aren't they? Every one of us has a full licence

Okay Oh, boss is coming in I need to know this answer before I can give you all the correct numbers Did he give us a pass on that question? Mm-hmm Boss Casey, did you give us a pass on that question? Boss Casey, did you give us a pass on the question that you marked up?

Did I mark that? I wouldn't have marked up a question. The car and bike scenario. There was one question there that I had to pass everyone. Okay, you did. Okay, there we go. Unless they had a ridiculous answer. Yeah, these numbers stand.

If they got it wrong, despite being the car or the bike. Yeah, I gave you both options. We're going to get into some of the results. Everyone listening? Yes. The person with the lowest score, with 11 out of 20. Oh, God, that's shocking.

Oh, my God. That should be stripped of licence, to be honest. Was producer Nipia. Neat 40 plus! Neat 40 plus! Nipia, Nipia. Nip's 40 past! Nip's 40 past! Nipia, Nipia. Nipia, he's the guy that will not only follow you way too close in the rain, but he's also happy to speed

past kids as they're getting out of a school bus. Yeah, well, I've missed them because I'm a great driver. No, clearly not. Wow, you are going to be rocking an L-blade on your car for the next month, my friend. I have more results coming out next, but I can tell everybody here in this room, no one passed.

No one! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! So we're all wearing our plates. We're all wearing our plates, baby. But who did the best of the worst? Really? That shocks me.

All right, how would you go if you had to reset your learner's licence? We did a bit of a mock test with the boss up in the boardroom yesterday. We've just found out producer Nipia scored the worst 11 out of 20. Shocking. We did quickly, I don't think we actually got the audio, but we did do guesses before we went in. Dan, who did you say was bottom four? Did you put Nipia in there?

I thought Nipia would be bottom. Not dead bottom. I thought that Bella would probably be last. We've got Bella, Nipia, Yaz, and me. Yes. And then, Clint,

you said all the girls. You said Megan. You did. You said Megan, Yaz, Bella. And then who was you? And then Carl. Yeah, I had Dan outside of the bottom four.

Yeah, so those were your guesses. Right. So we do know Nipia was last with 11 out of 20. We have been given that. We also know that nobody passed. No one passed. 18 out of 20.

Here we go. To put them out of their misery, producer Carl was second to last. 13 out of 20. Oh, God's sake. Oh, God, Carl. Can someone drop us both at home after work, please? I don't want to be in the same car as you guys, to be honest.

Only with one point more equal with 14 out of 20 are Gen Z girls Yaz and Web Girl Bella. Wait, wait, you guys did the test most recently. Like, we haven't said a learner's for like 20 years. God, you've aged yourself there, Clint.

You've aged yourself way up. Don't put Meg and I in the same milk as you, old boy. Okay, which means, as you'll know, boys, the top three sitting in this room right now. Oh my goodness me. I don't mind putting Meg and I in the same milk as you. Oh boy. Okay. Which means, as you'll know boys, the top three sitting in this room right now. Oh my goodness. I would like

an apology first. Yes. As you both said I would be bottom. I'm sorry Meg. Thank you. Are you normally, and this time you're top.

Yes. Let's just remember though Meg that Clint did sit his licence on a horse and cart. Here we go. So. Easy to go 20k's bus to bus. Here we go. Letting off kids when you're in the cart Here we go. So. Okay. Easy to go 20 k's bus to bus.

Letting off kids when you're in the car. That's max speed. Okay. You're both nervous. Bring up the suspension music, please. Do you mean suspense? Yes. Because I don't think I have suspension music.

No, I made a car gag. It's a car gag. Jesus. Oh, BS, you did. Right. They're nervous. They're just acting up. You should see them.

They're all giggly and shaky because it's between, in theory, the boys of who's the better driver. I can't believe it was us three in the top. Here we go. Come on. Equal on 16 out of 20. Clint. Oh.

And Meg, which means the best driver on the show I'm gonna cry with a score of what? of 17 out of 20 one more point one more point he would have passed Daniel Webber

I cannot believe this oh the one thing I think I I would back myself to be good at is driving wait no stop this is like

we're all hanging out in Loserville, all of us, and you're the least loser out of all of the losers, but you're still a loser and you're celebrating. I'm the biggest loser. Oh my God.

This is the story of my life. Thank you. We've all been given our license plates that we have to put in our car. Clint, how do you feel being equal with me? Go on. And your words are woman. No, I'm good.

The fact that I failed, I'm not, like, I actually thought I would pass that. Yeah, Clint. You can no longer say women are bad drivers because you're just like... I don't say that! He says it daily. You put the three girls at the bottom three. That just happened to be, I actually had

Dan in the bottom. You got the same as me. Yeah. All right. Anyway. Yeah, so we'll figure out. I think we're doing our actual restricted today after the show. Okay, I'll ace that. Okay.

I'll ace that. All right. You said that yesterday, though, about this. Dan, you can't celebrate. Look at him. He's so proud of himself. He's crying. You still failed. He actually got Terry.

We need to get a video of him tearing up. Oh, my God. I got all emotional. Yeah, but you failed still like the rest of us. Anyway, I think this L means loser for me, to be honest. Okay, so we're all going to rock these on our car for a month. Someone texted saying it's actually illegal to put an L plate on your vehicle if you're not a learner driver.

Don't worry, these are very fake. It says shit driver on them. He's probably more illegal. Clint, Meg and Dan. Stinky bitch. It's Clint, Meg and Dan. Stinky boot. It's Clint, Meg and Dan's Watcha Watchin'. Always watching.

Watcha Watchin'. Putting something on your radar. Beast Games on Amazon Prime. You know Mr. Beast? He's probably the most followed guy in the world in terms of social media and YouTubers. Yeah. Yeah, I was checking.

I saw his past the other day. Not good. Feastables. It's not good. I thought one of chocolate bars the other day. Not good. Feastables. It's not good. I thought one of them, when they first came out, I was very unimpressed. Oh, God. Whitaker's and Cary made it.

Do you know, he said that that's making nine figures. So excess of $100 million a year. It almost didn't taste like chocolate. It was all my idea. No, it felt very like advent calendar, cheapy chocolate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway.

Well, I've heard him on a podcast talk about how much money this costs to make. It's record numbers, which is why we'll maybe never see a show like Beast Games ever again because he said he lost tens of millions of his own money after Amazon Prime gave him $100 million to make it. Wow. It's ridiculous. They spent $50 million on the first two episodes alone with the set build.

It's crazy. And there is one part of the show, this is just showing how mental the show is, where they split the remaining contestants up into four teams. And they all have to appoint their own captain, not knowing what their captain responsibility is. To be fair, but they appoint the captain being told the most trustworthy person, right? Correct. Because if the captain betrays you, you all go home. So they're choosing the person they trust the most.

Right. Then they send the captains up to this tower and they start running a counter behind them that's going up as a dollar figure. It's going up like a thousand bucks a second. A thousand, two thousand, three thousand. They start then explaining, if you want to take the cash money, hit your buzzer. You'll take whatever cash is currently there. You stay in the

game, but your entire team that chose you is eliminated from the game. I love that. Knowing the total prize money at the end is five million, this counter gets up to a hundred thousand dollars, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, four hundred thousand. All they have to do is push the button. The money's theirs. Their entire team's eliminated. This counter gets up to $100,000, $200,000, $300,000, $400,000.

All they have to do is push the button. The money's theirs. Their entire team's eliminated. They keep going. $500,000, $600,000. This is how high it gets. Now do you want a million dollars? Don't do it!

I cannot believe what I am seeing. Five! Four! Come on, Dino, don't do it. I cannot believe what I am seeing. Five. Four. This is your last chance to take a million dollars. Three. Two. Is he taking it? Is he taking it?

One. Oh my God. And so he didn't have them taken. No one takes it. Wow. And me and my husband, when we watched this episode, he was like, if you did this, I'd be so mad at you. But I wouldn't have taken the money because I had about 50 people all agree

I was the most trustworthy person with integrity and I was being filmed for a TV show. My pride in the fact that people thought that of me, I couldn't. The guilt would eat. A million dollars wouldn't pay for the therapy I would have to pay for, but the guilt that would eat me up

that people probably trusted me and my integrity and the fact that they backed me and I let them down, I couldn't do it. You're all competing for five million dollars. So only one can win. If Meg, if I was in your team

and you came down and said, I did that for you, Clint, so you're still in the game, I would be so livid at you that you didn't cut my throat to take the million. Really? I'd be angry at you. I would have pressed the buzzer when it said 100 grand.

I know. My husband said that too. I said, well, then I would have been mad it could have gotten to a million. I'd have been gutted. This is the reaction of the players on the ground. You guys mean more to me than that screen. The offer is off the table. All four of these captains rejected a million dollars so you can stay in. You just turned down a million bucks. My integrity is not for sale to you. Oh, my gosh.

I want to earn and win my home. What just happened? What the heck? They're not going to think this is real. I've almost, like, come to tears right now. Who has ever turned down a million dollars before on TV? I'm freaking out. I don't even know what to do.

That's amazing, really, eh? Crazy. Very trustworthy people. Get caught up in the hype of being on the show and they're not making rational decisions that they would in normal day-to-day life. I think Meg's got a point. You're on international television.

I thought, like, I would also be thinking, this is what my brain would be doing. The thing is with Mr Beast is I would be betting on the fact that he's like, you didn't turn down a million dollars, but I've all given you an island. Like, I'd be thinking, like, or a car. This is what he does. Like, he'll, like, play those mind games of, like,

you proved your integrity and your trust, and so I'm rewarding you. And then I didn't get up. Then I'd be kept up at night. So now it just proves she didn't want the money. Yes, absolutely. Now, trustworthy, she just wanted an island. But I would have been doing, like, survivor tactics of, like, what's the best play here?

It is worth checking out if you've heard about it and haven't seen it. Beast Games, it's on Amazon Prime. Just a real fascinating insight into, you know, I guess what people will and won't do for money. Ned going up to Mr. Beast at the end being like, sorry, can I have an island or something though at least? He does give away an island. He does.

He does win a $1.8 million island in the series. Of course he bloody does. Clint, Meg and Dan. Time for the Gen Z quiz. If you're a millennial, maybe a Gen Xer, you should nail this quiz

five from five every single week if you're a Gen Zer. You may struggle. Morning, Web Girl Bella. Hi guys. Speaking of struggling. Yeah,

but can we just like take a moment to appreciate that I didn't come last in the last test? No, you got third to last. And you also said that if it was an unlaned road, you'd drive up the middle. No, that wasn't me. I already said it wasn't. Yeah, this was our learned driver's test that we all sat.

All of us failed, but some did worse than others. Okay, so I think you need redemption here. Oh, my gosh. Okay. You really do you need redemption here. Oh my gosh. You really do need redemption. I've made redemption. I got third to last. I'm going to be proud of you if you get three out of five.

I'll be really proud of you. Okay. Three out of five is good. Yeah. Okay. Here's your first question. Very simple one to start. Name this iconic New Zealander.

It's Adam. Susie Cato. Oh hey. That was quick. That was quick too. Very well done. Didn't she start following you Dan on social media? She did. She followed me the other day. That was quick. That was quick too. Very well done. Didn't she start following you, Dan, on social media? She did.

She followed me the other day. It was the best moment of my life. Oh, God, I was obsessed with Suzy Kato when I was a kid. She's lovely. Yeah, she is. She's lovely in real life as well. Met her once. She's a lip kisser.

Yeah, she is. Is she? To anyone? She kissed me on the cheek. Oh, I feel robbed. She definitely kissed. Cleansed up the lips. Okay, question number two.

Name this Kiwi girl group. I think we were the first to actually start a group where people would audition as solos and then they got put together as a group with judges. Kiwi girl group. There's probably only one, anyway. Is it like Bick and Bo Runga? No.

Bick and Bo Runga. What's probably only one. Anyway. Is it like Bikinbo Ranga? No. Bikinbo Ranga. What's their group called? The Rungas. The Runga Girls. The Rungas. No, Trubless. Yeah, they won a show called, it was like the first ever before Idol.

It was called Popstars New Zealand. Yeah. I think the idea of American Idol New Zealand came from that. I think it was a massive drop ball because I don't know what they did with the format, but then American Idol and stuff took off and think it was a massive drop ball because I don't know what they did with the format, but then American Idol and stuff took off and it was the exact same concept,

but New Zealand just never made money off the back of that like they should have. Okay, so you've still got one point. Let's see, you can still get three from five. Here's your next question. Name this 90s cartoon. Trailbreaker. Wheeljack.

Ironhide hide Maraud Sun streaker Side swipe It's giving like sci-fi Like green alien Okay green alien Is that where you want to Do you want to lock in

The TV show Green alien Oh maybe it's Courage the Cowardly Dog No No That was Transformers Did you hear that?

I was right with the sci-fi, yeah. The transforming. You were still on the right track. All right. Okay. Okay. You can still bring it back. You can still get three.

You have to get this one, though. What is this movie? Does this mean they're coming? E.T. She's got it. Okay. Thank God. Okay.

Okay. So you need to get this last question right to get three from five. To make you proud. Okay. To make me proud, which is what you're always trying to get, isn't it? Okay. Here we go. My life goal.
