This is a podcast from Rover. Some podcasts educate, some inspire. We do neither. Welcome to the most unnecessary thing you'll listen to today. This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast. No, no matter. Clint Megyn Dan with Ash London. The Edge Brecky.

Hittata in Auckland. One, two, three, oh. Yota, good morning. It is 30 seconds to six. Starting early because it's Friday, baby. Hey, just because it's before our contractually obliged time. We still do it. Did you get the memo,

Matt? Jesus, Ash. Oh, he did name you. Yeah. No, well, I didn't transition from Meg to Ash. It's supposed to be my last day today, but it's not... Maybe that's what my brain's doing. It's already preparing. But, yeah, Miggs taking the rest of the summer off. Good on, I know. Good on it. We'll come back when we come back

as a show in 2020. Bring your mum to work day today. Oh, yeah, my mum's are coming in. So that my mum... Are they bringing food? because I'm starving and I didn't have time to organize food only if you can guess what Mum made it in

Can you eat some? Do the mix? Yeah Okay my mum's listening Hopefully she'll be driving in Oh she could pick up some bread We need bread for the seafood shower Okay could you mum

Could you stop into the bakery Text me if you hear this And get something Like a loaf We just need a loaf We can slice up Okay I just breached into my pocket

And there's some sage in there Are you all witch That's weird I didn't think you'd be a sage person Because you don't even like If someone's like vaping around you. No, but this isn't a synthetic fragrance.

Oh, so it's okay if you're inhaling, like... Well, I don't inhale it. Isn't that one of those things you burn if there's ghosts? Bad energy or ghosts? Oh, I thought it was just a Friday afternoon vibes. Were you just like, right, it's been a big week? No, I'm not inhaling the sage. Just toaks it up.

I don't think for that. He's rid of the bad spirits and ju-joo. Okay, no, I need to tell you something about... Because my dad's coming in as well. There's mum and dad don't go anywhere without each other. Oh, blessed it. So, yeah, I will let you know about something that I think I need to... Is he Hansy?

Oh, yeah, he's old school. He doesn't handshake. He shakes something else. He's not a handsy. He is a little kisser, though. Oh, no. No, it's got nothing to do with that. It's actually about the food mum's bringing in.

And the shaking stuff. Yeah, and alcohol. Megan Dan. Oh, oh my gosh. Time to jump into our 6 a.m. Throwback. Us versus the playlist at the moment. Ellie Goulding.

Now I'm on the outside. Oh, yeah. That's a throwback. Oh, yeah. That's a throwback. Ellie Goulding. Yeah, it'd be over 10 years, wouldn't it? She sort of drifted off the radar, hey.

She was a big... Yeah, she got married. Yeah. And she got divorced. It's funny because we all talk about, like, when you get successful enough that you're, like, making enough money to just go and live your life. And then when people do that, we're like,

what are they doing now? I kind of take my hat off to celebrities that do that. They just coast off a bit of success. Good on you. If that's enough for you and you can live off it, why not? That's why I look at Taylor Swift. I'm like, who's got the energy, babe? I know.

Just relax. But I guess, I don't know. Like if you're Taylor, you've built such an empire and such a legacy just to walk away now. I mean, no, they say leave people wanting more, but. It's more than the money then for her, then, isn't it? She'll make money forever. It's the lifestyle that she must love. And the legacy she wants to leave.

She's at a point though now and she's probably at this point a long time ago where you could be like all right I don't want to do 150 shows I'm just going to do 12 shows a year

so you still get your fix but you're only performing like once a month but Adele's done what like three albums yeah and she's another one but she doesn't need to because she's got so much success but she does take like she's taking a break from acting she's from singing

she's going to be in a Tom Ford film next year she's on a music hiatus Is that the guy who makes sunglasses yeah the designer he was like the director of Gucci now of Tom forward and he does like films. Good on him. Yeah, and Adele

I think she's one of those people she could just release, she could bloody fart into a mic and people will lap it up, you know? Some people do do that as part of their career. Yeah. Like you every Friday on OnlyFans. Yep. If you don't get the Only fans podcast. If you only had Adele's success though with it. Yeah.

Finally. Producer Carl has thrown out an option for us versus the playlist. Fidiwop. Oh, Dan's the line time? It's never heard of it. We played the crap out of this song years ago. When it dropped, we played this all the time. Yeah.

I like it. Yeah. Give it a go, give it a spin. Okay. Why not? The only other options, Travis Barker from Blake 182. We did already play Adam's song this week. That was a great moment, though.

50 today. Everyone loved it. Oh, is he? 50. 50. Yeah. Wow. Crazy, hey.

Yeah. Cheek codes with Fettie Wop. Oh, cheat codes. That makes more sense. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Um, that one, I don't know if we probably shouldn't have been planned that as a throwback. 2017, only eight years old. Oh, that's not a throwback.

Fulke in the rules, but it's a Friday. But it's a Friday. But it's a Friday. Hence me, coming to work 20 minutes, like. Yeah. Oh, yeah, what happened? Just couldn't do it. I nearly didn't come.

Just couldn't do it. Couldn't get out of bed. We were you tossing up whether to come in or not. I really, nearly didn't come. Good on you. I've just, I'm doing to be. too much. Yeah.

I was up like editing podcasts. Yeah. What time did you crash? 10.30, I reckon I was asleep. Yeah. Yeah, that's late. I went to bed like 8.45 and I woke up feeling dusty. Sometimes if you go to bed too early, you can feel more tired.

Hey, I woke up at 1.30. I never wake up and I was like, well, that's weird. And then I was like, well, mean, I've got another like two and a half hours. And then I closed my eyes. And then five minutes later, I was like, I was got to be like 135. No, it was 430s. Yeah, it goes like that. I know I had to get up at one

to put buddy on the toilet as well. He's so cute, though. The feeling of when you wake him up in the night, and then you pick him up and he just wraps his little legs around my waist and just snuggles that. Oh, so cute. I've got something I need to tell you guys about

because my wife, when I was talking to her yesterday, she was like, oh, you need to let the guys know. You're going to have to pre-warn them. Oh, no. Is that okay? I was talking about how mum and dad are going to come in. It's like bring your parents to work. work day or something. They just were like, oh, we've never come into studio and seeing what

you do. So I was like, okay, well, yeah, come in. We get work experience people sometimes come in and sitting in. And then I said to it, oh, your mum's going to bring in some seafood charter. She was going to make some, like, lunch and bring it in. And she goes, oh, in the studio. Oh, is it quite fishy. And I said, yeah. Now, I'll premise it with this. Like, it's always, like, you couldn't get fish more fresh. Dad will literally catch it. And then the next day, mom will go and, like, whip up a charter because he's got so much fish and stuff.

I don't know what the recipe is. It's bloody delicious. And it tastes 10 times better than it smells. Oh, no, I like, I like seafood smell. I hate the smell of fish. And one time we went to family dinner, and mum was making it, and we walked into the house. Or we went into the dining room, and I was like,

what is that? And then mum's like, what's what? I was like, what's that smell? And it was like, oh, that's our dinner. But you know what And Jamie was like you're going to bring it into a radio studio Honestly the guys are going to be like can't eat that And she was like you're going to have to let me know it taste

It's going to seep into the walls Thousand times better than it smell But a lot of the time the smell is actually from prepping it So if she's taking it out of the place where it was prepped the kitchen It'll still smell fishy But usually the smell is from when you've taken the fish gutted the fish scaled it cut it up It's in the kitchen on the utensils

She made it in the thermomix didn't she Yeah yeah Yeah. So, yeah, she was just like, you need to let people know. Maybe we need to eat it outside for Steph, Sean and Harrison. Should we do an on-site broadcast out in the outside area just so it doesn't stink out the studio? Mum's probably listening because they're going to be here like 7.30 and so mum would have got up at probably like three. Because she's like never late for anything.

So she'll actually be here at about 7.15. Of course. So she's probably listening. An hour and a half in case of traffic. I bet right now she's going, you little shit, I spent ages making it. I can't wait to eat it. Is it like a tomatoy one or like a creamy one? Yeah, like a white, creamy.

Creamy orangey. Oh, it sounds delicious. This is my dream meal. It's honestly my dream meal. If I go to a restaurant and there's any sort of seafood chowder on the menu, I'm ordering it. The only time I haven't enjoyed chowder was when we're in Dunedin for O Week and we set some challenge. We knew we were going to be out partying with everyone who was flating and stuff and drinking. And on the Saturday we had some challenge and we're like, the loser has to order seafood.

food chowder for breakfast on Sunday and I don't know what it was I lost Of course he always does And I was the most hungover Which is unlike me And we walk into this cafe

Like 830A and I forgot And Meg's like And we're all going around And he gets to me and I'm like And Meg goes And he'll have the chowder I was like Oh no

And it was just It did not go down well The cafe guy was like A chowder at 7 a m God So as well And me, because I don't have to do it. I was like, nah, a deal is a deal.

Clint's mum's bringing an extra chowder. So after 8 o'clock, every caller wins chowder. We're going to package it up. No, we'll just put it in steibas. Yeah, yeah. Don't worry, even if we get seen in four days, it'll smell the same. Clint, megan, Dan. Lesh goal.

All right, let's get into it. Who is it going to be? Who's going to start our Friday the way we want to finish us? First call of the day. First call on the day. Yeah, she's going to set the mood for the day. No pressure. Tanya.

Good morning. Good morning. Oh, there she is. She sounds lovely. How many call your tans? Yeah, cool. Yeah, okay. Yeah.

That's an answer. What about tea dog? Can I call you a tea dog? Yep. Yeah. She's a housewoman. How funny would it be, all it takes is one person that Tanya works with to hear that, and then all of a sudden that sticks for the next 10 years?

Your last name's Snell. Can I call you Snelly? No. Oh, that's more, I get called tea bags. Te bags. How often are you doing that? Hey, hey, hey. Well, how did you get the name?

Oh, it's just my colleagues. You work with amateur boys. Bit of fun at work. I do. Yeah. A tea bag in between mates. Yeah, where do you work? I work at Farmwater Village in the Mount. Oh, lovely.

As a service advisor, so she's the one that goes, sorry, you're going to need a new gearbox. That'll be $7,000. Do you have to be that person when they walk in and you go, flew through the warrant and they're ecstatic? or you go, yeah, we've got a few issues I'm going to need to walk you through and you just watch people's like expression just like drop.

Yeah, that's exactly what happens. And every day's a different day, so. Of course. What's the car brand you'd never buy? Good question, Ash. Oh, I'll name one that I don't work with. Good call. Oh, hard to say, actually,

because I haven't obviously driven a ton. But then you'll see the ones that are always, you're like, mate, every time they bring one of those in, it needs work on it. Actually, I wouldn't buy a Ford. Yes, and you'd be right there, I think, a lot of the time. And what would your first choice be? Oh, if I could afford it,

probably a Lamborghini. She's like, they always just come in. Nice a tea bag. They just cruise through. Most of the time, because they're probably brand new, so they don't require a lot of work from time. Have you blow a water pump on a Lambo? I think it's quite an expensive exercise.

She's like, the Lambo guys don't seem to mind when I tell them they need a new air filter and a few set of ties on it, yeah, whatever. Put it on the Amex, yeah. Oh, well, I think if you're going to buy a Lamborghini, you kind of expect that cost to be up there and servicing. Here's one more question for you. If you do get a big bill at a mechanic or, I guess, a panel beater, is there a way that you can just pay it off, or do you have to pay the whole thing

before you get the car back? No, you have to pay it off, so it's called a cash sale unless you're an account. Yeah. A little bit like a supermarket. We've provided a product or a service and you have to pay for it on your way out. Also, what I reckon? How many weeks before you stop feeling like a wanker

when you get out of your Lambo? Never. I'd be so embarrassed. Never. Wow. You're a wanky when you get in it and then when you hop out each time. You can't change the fact that you're inherently a wanker.

No, but I reckon after a month you'd lose it. Like you'd care less. You'd still might be a wanker, but you wouldn't feel it as much. You'd just be like, oh, and I've had this car for a month. Yeah, you might not feel like it. I think I'd drive it for a month. Yeah. Yeah, I drive it for a month and then sell it.

Clint, if you, you might not feel like it when you get out of it. Everybody else is thinking it. They'll be like, look at that. Absolute loser. It's like when people on motorbikes, like, make them bike loud as they go past. And they think everyone's like, that guy's so cool. No, everyone thinks you have a small penis now. Everyone's thinking, he's choden it up.

Chodding it up. Just all the jealous faces looking at you, getting out of your Lando. That's all it is. No, you're a Lando driver. We're all just jealous, man, don't worry. It's the doors. Gullwing Cisidores. Yeah, that is embarrassing.

Hey, we're going to give you a voucher to go spend in store at Zed tarns. They've got a new pie, the ultimate pork belly and whole grain mustard. You can either get amongst that, free coffee, energy drinks, whatever it is you're into, mate. They got it at Zed. Definitely coffee. Thank you so much, guys. Good on you, darling. Give our love to the mount this morning.

Yeah, see you, Snelly. No, it's not. See you. It's really, we'll take any nickname. Tea dog, I'd rather stick than Snelly, I reckon. Yeah, good on her. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Scandal.

Clip megan Dan with Ash London. Scandal. James Vanderbik, aka Dawson from Dawson's Creek, is facing stage four colorectal cancer, which is just absolutely devastating. How many stages are there? I think four.

Four is the last one. So a couple of months ago, you might remember we covered it in Scandal. They did like a cancer fundraise where they got the whole cast together to read the pilot. And he was 2L to appear on the night, and they showed a kind of video message from him,

and he just looked so unwell. Well, now he's seeking additional finances to help cover the costs for his cancer treatment in America. Obviously, everything is very expensive. So he's selling Dawson's Creek memorabilia, the necklace that he gave Joey, the Dawson gave Joey for prom night, as well as his cleats that he wore in Varsity Blues. Did you watch Varsity Blues? I loved that film. You'd love it, Clint.

It's a sports movie about football. Oh, is he a quarterback or something? Yeah. Maybe I have seen that. That is ringing a bell now. You would have seen it. I should watch it again if I forgot, and I love a good sports movie. Yeah, so sending all the love to James.

And I can't find the actual auction, though, but I will have a look because I want to see how much people are willing to pay for them. True, because... Especially for a good cause. I wonder if he probably should have sold all that stuff about, you know, 5, 10 years ago. I wonder if you've missed the boat on... But it's also, you know, it probably means a lot to on that stuff because it was an important time in his life and his career,

and the sad thing is he has to sell it to stay alive. Isn't that horrible? I guess it puts things in perspective though When your life's on the line You go, it's just a necklace Yeah, I know I think at this point he knows he's going to go And he's got kids, young kids and a wife

So he's like, I need to just do everything I can now To leave as much money for them to have a laugh afterwards I can't think of anything worse Anyway, some good news Well, for some people And we have been talking about this a lot lately The fact that Taylor Swift need to relax She used to buy a lazy boy chair and put her feet up

That's what she needs Her and Travis Kelsey Need to just go to Hawaii for a month Ed Sheeran's the same It's like Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift They're like oh god she's doing another album Now I have to You know like they're just trying to one up each other

Yeah but she's next level So she's put out a new It's called The End of an Era It's a six-part docu-series on Disney Plus All about the Ears tour And once again going behind the scenes And showing kind of how it all happens Here's a audio from the trailer

I'm very aware of Mysterious forces at play That I will never have any control of This show created a bonding experience for like 70,000 people all at once. There's something very special about that. So not only is she performing around the world, but she also has a camera crew following her

and has to narrate her story. Oh, the exhaustion. Isn't it enough to do the show? And now she's engaged, so she'll be wedding planning and all the rest of it. And then she's trying to now, because she's in a relationship, she's having to work out how to divide her time up,

so she's also going to football games and supporting her fiancé when he's playing NFL. Do you know what I reckon's going to happen? I reckon she's going to have some time off. Think that this will come through, stuff that she's already done, to make it feel like yaddi, yadi, and then I reckon in a year or so

she's going to say, I'm married, this is my baby. Yeah. I just got a feeling she's going to do it all, yeah. Like, it sure and did that, eh? We disappeared for like a year or two when he just got like a brick phone and was like, I'm going off grid for a while. He's still got no phone.

I reckon she's got the whole plan. She's like, I'll be ovulating on this day and then I'll be pregnant that day, and then we'll announce the marriage. We've been married. Even just saying that, Just scheduling, like, someone's life like that. Yuck.

I don't have to, though. Not having any spontaneity and having everything planned out. I just say, like, babe, stop, stop. If she carries the baby herself, which she may not, she may get a surrogate. But if she is, does carry a baby, the scrutiny would be so stressful amongst an already very stressful time. I think the only way she can have a baby is by just having it in the background. But then my theory would be as well, people that are that famous, that can't. just go to the grocery store

and do all the mundane things. I think crave normality and having like your own baby feels like that one piece of normality that you get to have that every not everyone gets to experience but you know what I mean? Like she can't just go down to the grocery store but she may be carrying her own baby something

I don't know about her reproductive maybe she can't I don't know. There's a song on the latest album literally about that about how she wishes she was like just to have a normal life. I bet she doesn't though. I mean in theory she wishes. Yeah you got There are pros and cons for both, right? It's like you can't have this glamorous, famous lifestyle

where everyone worships you and everything you do, but also just be left alone when you walk down the aisle or the supermarket. Like, you just can't. I wouldn't surprise me if she's got an album recorded about it being a mum already. She's like, Richard. Oh, I hope not.

You can't write an album about being a mum if you haven't been a mum. Tell us which can. When the album comes out, she was like, geez, there was nothing like I thought. It was going to be when baby shows up. You don't know. Every woman thinks after they have a baby. This is way harder than I thought it would be.

People need to warn us. I am really tired and my hormones are making me crazy. A lot of people looking to sign up to gyms and stuff where they're like, oh, shredding for summer. It's just around the corner. Have you left your run too late? Not for me to decide. But I do, with a whole lot of newbies showing up at the gym,

I think it's important that we go over gym etiquette and discuss who the most annoying gym people are. Love it. So you don't become one of those people if you've recently just signed up. That's one of them. My gym has a sign. on the mirror that says no posing

allowed this mirror is for checking your form really yeah wow wow that's kind of gym I go to it's very like not for wankers the dude in the high vis um singlet then that I saw training yesterday would have been kicked out I was like my your abs aren't gonna be there yet is he just you did eight crunches Clint Megan Dan

I think it's important that we just get a little bit of gym etiquette out there before summer because there was a guy yesterday and I was like you've got to be right up there in the top five most annoying people at the gym. Maybe it's because my brother's just bought it Anytime Fitness out in Henderson, and I went out there

to train, and I called him just to see if he was going to be there. And while I'm on the phone to him, realize he wasn't, there was this big gadoosh, and he goes, what was that? And I was like, oh, just some guy who can't bloody put his weights down properly, except I swore, because I hate people that drop weights. So loud.

You can lift it nine times, you can put it down gently on number 10, but what you want is that you want everyone to turn around and look and see how much of the stack you're lifting. It doesn't it look like you can't lift them off? You drop them that heavily. It's just, I don't know, he was in his bloody Bunnings trade t-shirt. And when I said, oh, this guy who can't put his effing weights down properly,

I'm walking to the changing room and I can feel him behind me. And as I opened the door, I kind of turned just to see if it is and he's not wearing headphones. And I'm like, yeah, he heard that. I'm about to get bashed. Well, this is not as bad as this person that's text through, my favourite text of the morning. said, we have a guy we call Michael Jackson at our gym because he's the man in the mirror.

That's so good. That's so good. I'm going to start doing that. Just there's one at every gym, at least one. Yeah, the best is when they check for abs after doing one set of crunches. And I'm like, bro, come back in six months, mate.

It's just, and it's almost like these people that are checking out, like their biceps or their pecks or whatever. It's like they don't see. Like, well, they don't care. They don't care. And good on them if they don't care. Amazing. Do you know what I hate is when people use a machine

and they get up and they don't wipe it down and it's still wet? Oh, that's me. But I'm not a sweaty guy. What? Like, I'd wipe it down if I could see there's sweat on there. I'm like, but I'm a germaphobe, but I'll spray and wipe every time. Like, there's people that, you know, you sweat profusely and they leave a like mark on there. I'm not working that hard.

This guy called Steroid Steve, grunts and yells, woos. and then he kindly offers unsolicited advice to everyone like he's a personal trainer but he doesn't work there everybody knows apparently tripod tears out of city fitness because she takes her tripod and films all their workouts oh my gosh tripod tears we used to have this woman at my old gym who how do I say this

she wore outfits to the gym that I would be uncomfortable I would feel too exposed at the beach Oh yeah And I'm all for like your body Your Rules wear what you want But when she's like bending over bend I'm talking like whole ass cheek hanging out Nearly her nipple showing

And as soon And we had like a small gym That was like pretty hardcore Like people went there if they really wanted And she'd rock up She's fit as anything But as soon as she'd come in Everyone would just be looking away

Because like no guy wanted to be caught looking But when it's a thing you can't help but look What gym are you at? It's in Sydney It's very far away Very long way for you to go and have a It's not in Toh Ronga where apparently this lady called Side Boob Jude. Keep him coming.

Who are the most annoying gym people? Sidebent. What gym is that? Somewhere in Toadonga. We are talking gym etiquette with a whole lot of newbies joining the gym. And we don't want you actually, it's not even the newbies that I'm blaming. I don't want the newbies to learn bad habits from the old gymgoers. Just because they're doing it.

Like PJ, some of us trained all failure And we don't even have the strength to put it down gently PJ you do You just want us to hear the bang So we all turn around and go Oh, he's lifting the 40 kilo dumbbells good for him And we all know that the last rap should be the one that kills you Yeah

That's when you get to gains Yeah But you need to put it down properly Someone else text through saying they're a gym owner That is really bad for the equipment to drop it It's not designed for that Yeah My old guy Lenny

Had to redo the floors It cost him like 10 grand because people just smashing his floors. Apparently there's a bloke at a, I would name the gym in Auckland. He's nicknamed

The Flexual Predator because his shirt's always off. Shirts are! The Flexual Predator. That is crazy to get shirtless in a public gym. We just need to do a thing like a phoeneges at the gym.

That's all that's coming through. The only way I reckon you could get away with shirtless in the gym. The only way is if you have kind of a separate-ish area and you have a bodybuilding comp that weekend. Yes. And you're literally practising, you're posing and all the rest of it and whatever, maybe.

Then I go, okay, fair enough, he's got a bodybuilding comp. Yeah. By far and away, the most annoying, numerous texts for this coming through, the people that sit on the machine while they're scrolling. Oh, yeah, you can't be doing that. Yeah, like if you do you do your set? And then you spend like five minutes scrolling on your phone.

The other people as well who go, hey, how many sets you got left? and you're not even mucking around. Like you're not mucking around and say, mate, I'll be done in probably like four minutes. When I'm done, babe, sorry, someone's texted on 33-4-3. I go to Loft 45

and there's a girl there we call sexy ass-ass. What is it used? I can't lose. They gave me nickname. Oh, that's so lovely. You have been friends. You know who gave it to you, the name?

The Fletual Predator. He started it. A guy in my gym does karate moves. handstands and dances in the freeway area by the mirrors. Pretty much the opposite of blending in. The karate kid. I'm happy with a bit of public karate. That's cool.

If it's in the park and it's, what is it, Tai Chi and stuff? I love watching the audience. Have you ever done Tai Chi? No. Guys, it is very difficult because you have to keep your muscles tense and flexed and move very slow. Your arms and legs hurt afterwards. It just looks like slow motion fighting. I just don't know how you kick anyone's ass doing that.

Quitting the screen and living in the moment. Oh, gosh. Very important chat. We could all do with a little less screen time. I don't think it matters who you are. Absolutely. Clint Megan Dan. I wish I knew how to quit you.

We'd love to quit our phone or at least limit our screen time. I think everyone would. I don't think I know a single person that goes, yeah, I don't actually spend enough time on mine. This is something we were talking about on our OnlyFans podcast yesterday. We did a bit of a proper kind of 10 minute chat. about, I even got a bit teary, I think, which isn't really that much of a big deal this sounds like everything, but I...

You feel deeply, yes, I had a moment this week where I had left my phone for once at the front of the house and I had an amazing hour with my son where we were just like, I was just totally locked in on playtime with Buddy and I was like, man, this kid's cool, like, God, I'm so proud of my son, I love him so much. And then I thought, why has it been, why am I surprised by this encounter? Why has it been weeks since I feel like I've properly, like, hung out with Buddy and been, and then I realise it's like, I'm always on my phone. And my four-year-old son, more often than not, is probably looking at me and seeing me

hold a stupid, addictive little effing dumb iPhone that has got me completely. completely enraptured. What is buddy thinking when he sees that? And the crazy thing is as well is I'm exactly the same as you left. I'm really bad. I'm addicted to it. And I tell myself weekly, even daily, I need to put this away. I need to be more present.

But stuff gets in the way. Yes. So how? How do you do it? Do you guys have moments where maybe you feel anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, and without even realizing it, you just reach for your phone to scroll just to, like, soothe yourself? And still dopamine. That's what it is. It's dopamine.

Exactly. And it's terrifying because we are all like well-educated, great jobs. We are. We're smart people. Yes, we are. And we're in our 30s and 40s. And we, like, well, I'm on my phone sometimes. I'm like, get off your phone, get off your phone, get off your phone, get off your phone. As you were addicted, put it down, put it down. And I can't do it.

It's a similar thing to alcohol and drug addiction in a way because it's you don't know how to quit it. Yes. I say it's to my phone all the time. I wish I knew how to quit you. Yeah, exactly. I think the worst time for me, and it was actually probably a few years back, and I've been much better since,

was when my son realized the way to get my attention, he'd have to actually reach around, grab my chin, and pull my face towards his face. So we actually had eye contact because I'd be effectively multitasking. I'd be on my phone, maybe not scrolling Instagram, maybe paying bills or clearing emails. And I'd be like, yeah, I'm talking to him,

but I'm not looking at him. So he would pull my face away from the phone physically towards us. I was like, okay, we need it. So now we have a, like, a designated area in our kitchen where we go and put our phones, once you've played your emails, done your things. And we might even make it very clear to the kids,

hey, I'm just doing some stuff for 10 minutes, so I just need some time, I'm going to be doing this, and then I'm going to put it away in whatever. Yeah. And being very verbal about your intention, so we're getting better. The thing is, as well, if you went and caught up with your best friend at a cafe, you wouldn't sit on your phone scrolling

while they were talking to you, would you? No way. So why would you do that to your kids? Oh, and I feel like sometimes I actually have a moment where I'm like, I feel like I'm missing out on my own life. Yeah. Like I'm missing out on like this precious life. We're healthy, we're happy.

We have this amazing child. What the hell am I doing? Sitting here, scrolling like an idiot, like a robot. Another one is even if you don't have kids, say you're single and dating, supposedly one of the worst things you can do is when you sit down at the table, you put your phone right there. Face up, face down, it doesn't matter.

You're saying that, yeah, I'm listening to you, but if that phone pains or beeps, I'm going to grab it because it is more important than anything you're going to tell me. And if you think about it, at the end of the day, if I think back on all the stuff that I saw on Instagram or TikTok or whatever, none of it has been remotely helpful, useful or important. Certainly not as important as engaging with the people I love. And these things like you said down on the podcast, they're made to make you addicted. They are.

That's what they're created for, to keep you on there as long as possible. The device itself, the apps within it, the interface, everything is designed to keep you there. Okay, so if you're someone that has mastered a way to limit your screen time, because there are people out there who are better than us who have managed it, what is your technique? What is the thing that you do now where you go, guys, try this, game changer. It'll literally reset your brain and make you pretty more present. It may just be honestly a case of just deleting social media.

Like for me, like I speak to my psych about this. I'm like, I think I don't even have the. ability to have it and not use it. I literally think the only way for me to do this at this point is to not even have it. Well, I know other people will have it so it's a setting where I think you have to log in every time. So if you click Instagram and you've got to put in your email

and your password and that just stops you mindlessly scrolling. We'd love to hear from you guys because already we're getting texts from people have made some big changes in their life. Yeah, and Christine's just text Clint's mom saying, we are here. Oh yeah, they want it. She's texted the text line to let you know that they're here. It's bringing parents to work day today. That is hilarious.

We're talking quitting the screens and living in the moment. What is the key? What is the key to just enjoying life and being more present? Yeah, it makes me feel better that so many of you guys have texted through saying you've been here or you are here and also a lot of really interesting workarounds or fixes that people have tried. I love our listeners. They always come to the table, don't they? Always.

It makes us feel like less broken human beings. Yeah, morning, Diane. Morning. So you've quit the phone. How do you do it? I try to I can totally relate to you guys I'm just listening to you guys

I'm like yep yep yep I'm the same and I tell my husband the same thing to spend time with my kids so what we do and what works for me sometimes I would leave my phone on the side of our bed

like the side of the bed wooden bed or like the drawer beside our bed and I'll go downstairs play with the kids and I'll think about oh my gosh it's my phone and then I'll completely forget about my,

and I'll make a conscious choice. You need to look for your phone or be with your kids right now, and I'll be like, leave the phone. I don't need that. I'm very lazy, so leaving it upstairs will be good for me because I'm like, oh, it's so far. We went out for, like, lunch or the afternoon, and because my wife and I were together,

she's like, we don't need two phones, so she's left hers at home. I often do that when Adrian's with me, and it's such a physical relief leaving my house without my phone because they feel like a normal human being. Like, no one can stress me. There's nothing.

that's going to make me anxious if I've got an hour off. Now, Kristen, you've done a different method. You've quit social media completely. For how long? It'll be about five years, if not longer. Five years, social media, three. Do you miss it? Be honest, do you miss it?

Nah, not at all. What about when you catch our friends and then you're like, so what's new? And they're like, well, I post it all. Because I feel like people expect us to know what's going on in their lives because we should be watching this story. I purposely have an ongoing date every month with the girls to go out, have a cocktail, catch up, no husband, just us.

Just the old-fashioned way? Yeah, it's just a really nice way to catch up with everyone without... That's heaven. Bringing social media into it. Also when you stop doing something... It's amazing. How many parents at sport fields are on their fine. Yes. That's what I was going to say.

When you stop something so often, you start to notice how much everyone else is doing the thing that you stop. Imagine as well if you're a kid and you'll... like, oh, dad's come to watch. And then you turn and look over after you've scored a try, and he's just on his phone. You'd be like, oh, no, man. And it happens. Of course.

What about you, Shaylin? How do we restrict our phone time? What's the key? I've got rid of my smartphone completely. Wow. So you're running a dumb phone, like a Nokia 3310 or something? Basically that, yeah. So what does it do?

Text. Text and it calls, and that's about it. Do you feel like you're missing out of anything? Like, is your life worse off? at all, or you feel like it's all G? I feel like it's a lot better. Like, it's not just helping me with my... I'm able to generate my own dopamine now

without having to start scrolling anything. And I'm also saving money by not being able to check my bank accounts every five minutes. I don't know what I'm spending. So I... How do you cope if you need to Google something? Because I'm like, if I need to find something out,

I'm like, I'm straight on to Google. That's the only thing I miss. Yeah, well, Dan couldn't do that because then we wouldn't be able to do Dan's Google history on a Wednesday. Be a nightmare. Hey, thanks, Shailin. Appreciate the call, man. What about this one?

Somebody has a photo of a parent ignoring their child sitting on their phone, and it's their screensaver. So that when they pick up their phone, they're just seeing a parent ignoring their kid. It's a reminder to get off yours. What did people just see the screensaver? And like, who are those people? Like, just random people.

Someone said, I have this. This is Brogan. Bro. I don't know if it's a. man or woman. This is a picture that I set to pop up on my reminders every day at 4pm, and I'll read it. By constantly scrolling on your phone when you are with your child, you are not just multitasking. You are teaching them that they are less compelling than the digital world in your hand. You think you are still present. You're in the same room. You can hear

them. Let's call it what it really is. You are not present. You are an empty vessel. Your body is there, but your attention. Your most valuable resource is somewhere else. You are sending them a thousand tiny messages a day that say you are not as interesting as this screen. Oh, I feel like a terrible parent. Oh, that like copy and paste on that. It cuts me deep. Yeah.

Come on. Thanks, Brogan. Hey, Brogan, I'm going to send you a double past few on a musty movie. We appreciate the influence, bro. Get amongst a Running Man. It was out in cinemas yesterday. Looks like a hell of a movie. Survived 30 days while the world hunts you down. It's got an air

of hunger games about it, eh? Take your kids. Yeah. Starring... Yeah, it's R-16, to take your older kids. I think my buddy would sit there. He'd be like, where's it got to... Director of Baby Driver and starring Glenn Powell, so we'll get in touch with your program, get that out to you.

Clint, Megan Dan. Producer Neep's about to hit us with the best parts of the week, according to him at least. Good diary this week, Neat. Plenty to choose from. Yeah, I've won some different music for this week. Let me know what you think about it. Oh, okay.

It's not usually the best bits. It's like the most embarrassing bits of the week. Yeah, we just find out who got thrown under the bus and then reversed over. All right, let's take a listen. It's meant to entire. you to listen to more of the show. We'll see if it does. Here we go, let's get into it. Atamaria, good morning. Producer Neeps here with another producer

diary. Let's get into it. On Monday morning, we kick the show off arguing when Clint said this. Do you know. Have it? But take out the bit where Ash says that's fair. I've done it. You're welcome, bro. I'll tell you the truth, Ash. I prefer you with makeup on. Dad, a couple of you said that. So mean. A wonderful Ash London brings you a scandal update twice a morning and she's so bloody talented,

she even gives us a couple options to choose from. Scandals next? No, I'm prepared today. Okay, good. Do you want Kim Kardashian? Yes, I want Kim Kardashian. We've been chatting a lot about the death of dating apps this week when Dan and Ash shared the story of how they met their partners.

When I looked at Adrian, I just knew before I haven't spoken to him. I was like, oh, that's my husband. I was the same with Hannah, because I saw her photos on Tinder, and I was like, could go either way. Yeah. But then when I met her and put that, that sounds horrible. She might be fun. She could be a four, or a six.

I don't know. 10 out of 10. We've been trialing a new segment advice roulette, where we spin a wheel to decide who gives advice on your topic. I'd say about 99% of the time we've got no clue what we're talking about. And on Wednesday, we got this question from listener Kirsten. I'm about to go off and start studying. And as mother, I'm wanting to continue having the income.

So I was wondering what's a good way to start a business or start off. Side hustle. You spun the wheel. Let's hope it lands on. Clint, landed on me. Get a sugar daddy. That's what I'd say. I'm not that good looking day, and I'd probably have as much like getting a sugar daddy as you would.

Wow. I love that, Kristen. You know, sometimes I honestly have no idea how this team can chat for four hours every single day. And then I remember, sometimes we just go for a good old scrape of the barrel. We're definitely not chucking the old cruise control on. Some other shows will. Nah, our car's not new enough. Doesn't even have cruise control.

If this shows a car, it's the Flintstone's car. We're bloody pushing it along with our feet. I'm going, yabandabadoo! Oh, me. Every week we go through Dan's Google history to see what the man's been looking up throughout the week. Although, I feel like Ash may have hijacked this segment a wee bit this week. Stocking filler for wife.

What do you buy someone that's got everything? I've got the perfect thing as a stocking filler for your wife. Yeah. But I'm not going to tell you what it is. You have to text Ash. three, three, four, let's find out. It's like, going a mental. Oh, God, I've never seen it go quicker.

Oh, guys, don't. Don't stop texting right now. It's her book. Batteries not included. All needed. Wow, I mean, you could have a bit of accompaniment with the ring. Yeah. Page 200, if you know what I mean.

It is a bit funny. And finally, we got chatting about the color of our aura after Ariana Grande and Cynthia Arrivo answered the same question on the red carpet. You had to choose what colour Clint Dan and Ash's aura are. What would you pick? Dan's aura is like a blue aura. Clint's like green.

I get a green aura for a moment. I get like a fuchsia, like hot pink. What's my aura? Like a brownie... Yeah. A brown brown. No, I want a poo brown aura. Poo brown aura.

It's not a bit maroon. You haven't even got an aura. I was right. It's better than poo. Alrighty, and that's all we've got time for this week. I hope you have a fantastic weekend. Go out and enjoy the summer weather. We'll see you same time, same place next week

for another producer diary. Thank you, I think, producer Nipia. I don't know about that one. Are you coming up? Yeah, sorry, my bad. Coming up before 8 o'clock this morning, Sonia Gray, the presenter of Lotto. In fact, she's been doing it 20 years now.

She's going to be joining us, letting us know what's happening with the $55 million dollar power ball tomorrow night. I'm hearing a rumor that it's got to go. Yeah, I heard that. That's what the whisper is saying. exactly what happens when you win the big 55 million, surely that's no. And if no one gets the Powerball, then I guess you get split amongst first division, if no one gets that, split amongst second division.

Yeah, it's time. She's going to give us the winning numbers as well, apparently. She doesn't know them, Babs. If she did, she wouldn't still be presenting a lot of. Maybe she just loves it. All right, so she can let us know what you can expect if you do have the numbers come Saturday night. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh.

I don't know about you, but I feel good. Feel good. Let's go. We all live incredibly blessed lives here in Altero. So, so lucky. And despite that, when you read the news, and even on social media, because bad news and fear excites people, gets us clicking. It takes up our brain space.

It is kind of easy to look around and go, oh, the world. Why is it that the negative stories get the most clicks? I think it's your algorithm, too, soon as you say, watching political stuff and you get right to the end, Instagram goes, oh, Ash must have liked that. Ash wants to know all about Trump having dementia all day, every day. Yeah, and then you get stuck in this, like, I think that's how people end up having, like, conspiracy theories.

Oh, dear. Everything you read is, like, fueling into your conspiracy theory. So true. It's what the internet thinks you want. So it's got some good news for you, just to remind us of the world. It can be a great place. First of all, global polio cases are down 99.9% since the 1990s. So in our generation, we've pretty much eradicated it.

We swapped it for measles. Yeah, gosh. Don't get me started. Actually, don't clip, really, please don't. Ashley, when was talking about how her son, buddy, got his vaccine, I was like, are you finally going to get the measles, J-V-A? And Ash, did not think that was funny. Clint, don't, please. Hey, got he's early.

I was like, whack it in there, come on. Major improvements in maternity care globally has led to a sharp fall in the number of women dying during childbirth, which is incredible. The rates were so high, especially in developing nations, and because more funds and awareness have been pumped into keeping women safe when they give birth, the rates have dropped, which is fantastic. This one's really cool for anyone in your family or you've got heart disease.

US scientists have been able to coax the human heart into regenerating itself. A breakthrough that could help millions of people with damaged hearts. Wow, that sounds like something like out of a sci-fi movie. Regenerate your own heart. The Maldives will become the first nation to stop an entire generation from buying tobacco. They're banning the sale of tobacco for an entire generation. What in New Zealand?

There was talk of it in New Zealand, I think, for a while. It was smoke-free buy producer cars. They'd actually started doing this, and so it was like everyone after a certain age said to stop. And then the next government came in and reversed the whole thing. Why would you want to allow people to, I guess people are just vaping now? Is it tax? Tax.

Tobacco tax, yeah. I mean, you've really seen someone smoking a cigarette now. It's much rarer than it used to be. Yeah, but people are vaping, which in many, it's like far less regulated. It's full of chemicals. Like, not, you know, not looking at anyone. I've got his headburns up. I'm producing Nibia can hear you.

It's the only time I've ever yelled to anyone in this whole bill. Anyway, we don't need to out. Yeah, when he vakes, she was like, are you crazy? Yeah. Do you know me? I know, because all the young people in this office do it. It's so bizarre to me. I always, I know.

Nibia now knows me talking about because he's facing the old. Oh, I love you, darling. This is how uneducated I am about vaping. I go around the office. I'm like, who's chewing hubba-bubba? It smells like. Who's got the grapes? Where's the watermelons?

And finally one to finish us off, this one's from my home. Australia is producing so much solar power that it's going to start giving it away to citizens during the day. Oh, good old. That's so cool. Because what happens in Australia is it might be the same here. If you've got solar panels at home, all the excess solar is fed back in.

the grid and then you get a discount on your bill. Now there's so much, they're like wait, give it it it away. That's great. My mum and dad have solar and dad still, if they go away for more than two days we'll turn all the fridges off. So when you get to his house, all the bears warm. And I'm like, mate, you've got

solar. He doesn't want to hog the sun. Leave some sun therapy. And there's a special stick that you need to use to try and switch it back on because you can't reach the back of the fridge. The neighbors are like, John, you left your solar panels Leave some of the rest of us.

All right, and that is your feel good Friday. And you didn't even mention creatine. Hey, you didn't even get into creatine. You can't stop Asht talking about creatine. Well, you got me onto it. If you don't want dementia. Don't do it. And also, shout-outs to Laura. She said, Happy World Diabetes Day, big day for all of us living with diabetes. Much love.

We love you guys. Good on you. All right, a bit of an update on the year. Hit the Spot routine that we were going to scale back next week. Dan has requested a choir a cherry picker and a witcher. outfit. A green face paint. I've heard we've achieved

two of those requests. Carl has not slept since yesterday. I really hope it's the cherry picker. We'll give you an update next. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it.

It hit us back. All right, we're supposed to scale it back after we did the Backstreet Boys in Ray and in Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, which Queen doesn't even do live? We were like, right. Mainlick is Freddie Mercury's dead. Yes.

Yeah, I'm doing it without him. If he was, they got Adam. He wouldn't do it. They got Adam Lambert for a while, didn't they? He's pretty good. Yeah, I think he still does it with them. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

So we said, right, we're scaling back, Dan agreed. And then after we heard his plan, we realized, no, he's done anything but that. Next week, Wicked for Good, the second of the two movies, is out. The reviews are in saying it's the biggest movie of the last decade. Yeah. Okay, so we're doing defying gravity for hit the spot next week. I had some demands, didn't I. Demands is right.

They weren't requests. They weren't suggestions. I wanted some green skin paint to make myself look like Alphabet from the movie. the Green Wicked Witch, the West. Wanted a cherry picker so I can get lifted up when I do the big note. Even the boss was like,

what's the cherry pick about? Dad's like, well I want to rise up. And we're like, yeah, but it's going to be so slow and you're going to hear the beep, beep, beep. We're like, let's scratch that. I'll settle in like a rock climbing rig with a carabina that I just sort of

lifted up, someone will have to hoist me. And then the last thing, which is probably the most important thing, is a choir. Now Dan actually went into the studio and laid down a bit of a demo so he had something he could send the choir so that they know which parts they are doing.

Take a listen to this. I hope you're happy. Look at her. She's wicked. Kill her. Bring me do. So we have to bring her down. So that's if it goes well.

That's hopefully what it will sound like, if not better. Okay, producer Carl, how are you going with your requests for a choir from Dan? I haven't slept a whole lot, going to be honest, guys, but I think, I think, you know what, I think I've found a choir. Brilliant. Okay, well, we've got someone on the line. Robin. The representative from the choir itself. Hello.

Morning. Hello, Robin. Morning. Okay, tell us about your band of merry singers. We're a group we sing mainly rock music, so this will be a bit of a, stretch out of our comfort zone, but that's what it's all about, I guess. Are you familiar with the text, Wicked? Oh, yes, yes, absolutely.

How many are we rocking in a choir? What makes a choir? What's the minimum number? Ah, is there a minimum? Enough voices. But, you know, we happen to have like 90 people in our choir. It's just about how many you can fit in your studio. Oh, my God. We could probably squeeze a 90. Daniel. They might drown me out, though. That's the problem. Wow, okay. the Stimung Choir and you've got a big gig of the town hall tonight in Auckland, S-I-M-M-U-N-G-S-T-M-U-N-G-G-T-M-E-S-E-M-A-R-S-A-R-R-T-U-S-E-R-E-R-K-E-E-L-E-E-R-E. I've got you,

what kind of, what's the big song tonight, the crescendo, like the big, you know, show-stopper? Oh, I reckon there's going to be probably two that really bring the house down. One is paranoid Android, good old radio head. Love that, it's an incredible tune. Wow. But the other one is a fellow DJ, Mikey Havoc, is going to join us for war pigs, some Black Sabbath.

Oh, my God. I think that's going to... An unconventional choir gig, if I'm honest. It's going to be amazing. Can you give us a sample of your singing? Not that we don't think you're up to scratch. We know you're up to scratch. But, you know, you're a singer.

This is a platform. Go for it, Dylan. Oh, absolutely not. No, I just, I wave my hands and tell them what to do. You're the big boss. Hey, nothing more annoying than the conductor trying to sing along. Yeah, good job. Exactly, exactly.

Leave all the hard work to them. No, they're, yeah, it's going to be amazing. And where will this sit? If we hit the spot next week, where will this sit on your career highlights? I heard number one. Yeah, obviously. Absolutely, absolutely.

Yeah, number one. Well, these videos that we're doing have hit this spot are breaking one, two million views, really. Yeah. So, I mean, this could be some, this could be... Then again, not really because of competition, but Billy Corgan did retweet one of our songs. So, you know, that's pretty high for me.

Robert, we don't want to eat, too many. I love them. This is great. Well, thank you for agreeing to do this. We're going to get you in next week. This way as well, I can blame you guys if I don't hit the spot. It's the perfect scenario. You'd never blame the Sting on choir.

From Rotorua, Rota Vegas. Andrea, good morning. Morning. Morena. I love Andrea because she said, most people say, if I win a thousand, I pay off some bills, put it on the mortgage. She's just said splash out on some fun things.

Yeah, she quit her job. Does she deserve it, perhaps? Yeah, have you heard your Postcode playlist before, Andrea? Yes, I've got to say, it was up there with the top ones. Jason Mamoa was spotted in Rotorua. Lots of speed bumps on roads in Rotorua. Naked car wash no more in Rotorua. Wear your pyjamas at the mall in Rotorua.

or get amongst the game online on the Rover app. Coming up next, we're going to catch up with Sonia. We're going to try and touch base with her just before 8. But she is the host and has been for the last 20 years of Lotto. And with the jackpot high than it's ever been in New Zealand. A lot of people queuing up for two. I would imagine today. I can't afford to buy another ticket.

She's been there for all the big wins. Trevor from Ticofura. She was there. That's right. You know? They either guy that lost it all. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah.

He got into like speedway and race cars. Yeah. And I think he also met a woman who then two years later wasn't a huge fan of him. So she took half of it. He had fun with his money. Yeah, he did. Yeah, he did.

We all spend it differently. Clint Megandandand. It's Clint Meggin Dan. Making history in New Zealand, the largest it has ever been, $55 million. I just had to point something out that my dear husband's texted me. A couple of our numbers have shown up in the Australian $50 million power ball. Maybe we've got the wrong Powerball. No, really.

The 22, 2 and 13, all numbers that we had of all... Maybe this is just a precursor to this Saturday night. Imagine if we'd got it so right. but just one tiny detail, location, incorrect. Sonia Gray has been hosting Lotto for a fair while now. I'll take listen. Do you know what else is amazing Fano? Oh my goodness.

This one right here. This one right here who celebrated an amazing milestone and ticked over 20 years of presenting the Wednesday. I know, I know. 20 years, she's been picking numbers and never won. Some people say that Hillary Barry's the mother of the nation. Sonia, you're the auntie of the nation. Good morning.

The auntie. Oh, my goodness. Hot sister. The hot cousin. The hot cousin, way hotter. The hot auntie. Can we go from the auntie thing? Got an auntie finish.

It's weird. Morning, Sonia. Good morning. 20 years. What do you love most about the job that's kept you coming back for 20 years? Oh, well, it's like any good job. It's the people, you know? It's a great team.

I started at Evalon and Wellington and had an awesome team there. And now we're in Auckland. And just, you know, they've just really. committed to just delivering a great draw every week. There's a lot that goes on that you don't see that behind the scenes. So, yeah, just, yeah, and they've been through me through, with me through, you know, marriage, babies, everything, life. That and the fact that you only have to work two days a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Not bad, best job, eh?

Yeah, that's quite good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, Sonia, Jordan told us earlier this week, your co-host, that you have your own numbers. And I thought, how crack up with that? Did they tell you that? Because we weren't sure if you were allowed to have your numbers. And I was like, imagine when you start, if Sonia starts reading out the numbers,

and that's getting real excited. We know what's going on. Have you ever won Sonia, like a little amount of money? No, no. My numbers, which I've had for years and years and years, have not been very lucky for me. But I keep, you know, I've got to keep playing them, obviously. Yeah.

Well, that's, I guess, why we've got you on as well. We ended up putting together the people's luckiest numbers. Everyone had to call up, give us a story. some people had had their life saved and pulled out of the ocean and given a T-shirt to keep them warm and they had a number five on the back, so that's their number. Wow. Yeah, and we ended up with the people's luckiest numbers.

5, 6, 9, 13, 22, 34 are the numbers we hope you read out tomorrow night. What's your favourite number between 1 and 10? Well, 7. 7 is my Powerball number. Okay, and now it is ours. I think that was Jordan's Powerball. Yeah, I'm gifting that to you. But just remember, describe it.

it hasn't been lucky for me. Okay. So don't blame it on me if it doesn't come. The numbers that you just read, none of them are my numbers. Wow. That's interesting. So that's probably possibly good. A good thing.

So it has to go this Saturday, it'll get divvied up. It has to go. So how does that work? If no one gets Powerball, then what? Yeah, so if no one wins First Division Powerball, then it rolls down to the second division, which has happened a couple of times in the last few years. So then, yeah, it's split amongst. So, you know, if 10 people win, that's five and a half million each.

Wow. So that's kind of, that'll be kind of cool. So, yeah, that one must be one is great, because that money has to go. Again, if you're outside of Auckland, because it's where you're based now, do you, like, pay and fly them up and have the champagne ready? Like, what does that look like? Yeah, they do often come up to HQ. We've got a winner's room, and there is some nice champagne in there.

and lots of, yeah, it's a really nice environment and they get spoiled. Some people choose to just, you know, start at home and that's their thing, but yeah, they're made to feel special if they do decide to come up. I'd go to the whole hog, hey, I'd go and get the champagne. The experience is the part of it. If there's any lifted bottle, I'd take it home with me.

And do they get to meet you, Sonia? That'd be cool. No, I'm not part of that whole thing. It's really important that we, you know, that winners' anonymity is secured, you know? So I have met a few winners, but no, I'm not part of that whole process. I'd love to be. Well, then you may not have an answer to this question.

But if anyone has the winning ticket, they don't know if they're splitting it with one to ten people, what is the best way to carry that ticket, the length of the country if you win in Christchurchase, you've got to bring it up to Auckland? Well, I would make the phone call first, so that they know if you definitely write your name on the back of the ticket

that's important and then just keep it like keep it somewhere very safe down your bra or I don't know I'd gas tape it to my forehead yeah put it no but no you've got to put in a glad bag first because when you pull the tape off

it'd rip all the numbers that's why it's good to buy it online exactly in the ether yeah it's in the cloud Sonia good luck to you good luck to us and anyone else is buying a ticket, but do remember you're more likely to be killed by a vending machine, be attacked by a shark and struck by lightning twice.

Gamble responsibly is what I was trying to say. Yeah, just play within your means. It only takes one ticket to win, and you can be in to win for $6. Exactly. So you can buy a $6 ticket and be in to win, powerful? Hey, can I just mention that? I'm going to be in store today.

So if anyone, if you're in Tarmiki Makoto and buy Point Sheev, I'll be there selling tickets. That's so cool. Well, you know, it's busy times. All hands on deck. I love that, Sonia. He's got to work more than two days a week. Yeah, she's like, oh, bye-go this week. I hate it. If I have to do it, I'll go to Point Schia. But of the nicest parts of the time.

I've got her on the tools. Yeah. Thank you, Sonia. All the best tonight's Joy. Appreciate your time. All right. Good luck to you. See you. Thank you. Clint, Megan Dan. The AB's added again this weekend, taken on England. It was Scotland last week.

And we called X, or black, Izzy Dag, to see if he would chair on Scotland. Yeah, we got him. How did the All Black's goal against Scotland? Got him just. Really? It was a close game. It was very close. Oh, good, I love a close game.

And you wouldn't think Izzy Dag being an All Black, part of the World Cup winning team, would share on Scotland? As if. But then, I mean, the audio doesn't lie. Got it. Definitely not edited in any way. Go, Scotland. Very natural. So Dan's job ahead of the game is always cool.

An All Blacks fan, pretend he's from the country we're playing and see if. We would, I guess, cheer on the other team. It's very unpatriac of us. I got you doubt. The country in question, this weekend obviously is England, so I've got to find an English accent. Oh, yeah, okay, you want to work on that? We've got so many versions of it.

Telly-ho, Governor. Yep, that's a good one, isn't it? What about just a normal, like, Channel Hugh Grant in Notting Hill? I'm not very good at that, like the posh one. Oh, hello, hello, hello, how are you? What about the one where they go in it all the time? You know what I mean? Oh, that's cock me.

Cock me. Yeah, that's not one. It's the old blacks playing against singling on a week. That was real good. You should do it. Oh, what about just doing Michael Cain? A Michael Cain from the Batman movies. Batman.

I'd do that one. Just do that, but with less of a cold. I've got a bit of a cold. All right. Okay, so Dan's job. It's a tough to listen with headphones on. Your job is to, uh, yeah, we're going to call like a New Zealand bar or somewhere, and Carl's got some numbers with people.

that are actually working and try and get them to say go England. Okay. And if you can, job done. Let's put the call through the first one. I mean, I don't know if I'm going to be good. Just see which accent comes in the moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel the vibe.

Yes, feel the bad. Okay, good luck, Davy. Hello, is it a right-track, speed, I'm ready. Hello, my name's David. I'm calling from the English Rugby Team. How are you on? Oh, good, thank you. Just ringing to let you know

that we're putting together a little bit of a package for the English rugby team from New Zealand rugby fans. If you could please just say a message for the English rugby team saying, good luck, boys, telly-ho. You went with the wrong ex-in-bra?

Every time I think we've gone the lowest and then we still lower. He's gone. I would have hung up too. Yeah, that sounded like such a crank call. Hmm, do I go back with a better one? A different accent. Different accent. Same guy?

Yeah, hey. Hello. Yeah. Are you going to eventually he'll have a laugh? I'll be the queen this time. Hello. No. He needs to be cockney.

He's not going to answer now because he knows he's been good. No, he has to. Could be business. Right, try to come this weekend. All right, Governor. All right, mate. Just calling from the British rugby team. How are you, fella?

How are you, fella? Just wanting to record a quick message from you. an all-black supporter to the British rugby team. How about it? No, he's gone again. So unlicitable. Ironically, I think he wants English. So you couldn't even get an English guy to say, go England.

Okay, let's notch this up as a fail. Let's get some prizes sent out to them for their troubles. Oh, yeah, can you tidy up Dan's dirty? Do Dan's dirty work for him, Carl? Send him a double pass in the movies or something? Just another day cleaning up after Dan. Yeah. Love you, darling.

Thanks, mate. Best producer ever. Yeah, thank you. So that's a fail. Yeah, that failed. Hopefully the All Blacks do better than Dan does. Bugger. Oh, well.

Yeah. Next on the show, we've got a last double pass. So Ed Sharon, you want to head along and catch him when he's here in Jan. He's doing five gigs, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. We're doing a little bit of Edmats. And we actually have had for the last almost hour, Dan and I have had our mums sitting here quietly, just in the studio, laughing along. Little do they know. Little do they know.

Oh, no, their faces. They're both mortified. They are going to be doing the maths on your behalf. So if you'd like, my mum, Christine, or Dan's mum, Julie, playing for you, 0,800 the edge. The Battle of the Mums. You know how bad. Shush, Mum, we're playing. Two plus two is four, minus one, that's freak.

Every single day this week, we've been giving you the chance of your hands on a double pass to Ed Shearan, live on his loop tour. Next year, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch with a little bit of Edmaths. He named his first albums after mathematical. symbols that are right that's lean in yeah of course okay and uh we actually have uh my mom and dad and dan's mom here in studio with us it's like it bring your parents to work day they just came in to watch how radio's done badly yeah and uh here they are so my mom's going to be playing for a listener and so is yours dan uh before we go to my mom we've got a little intro that's actually 10 years old

this intro randall's mom has got it going on back when i was randall she does have a going on She's a hobby. Two hot mum's in the studio today. Well, three, if we include, be our mum. And just out of chance, Julie has called through, which means my mum's going to play for you, Julie. Makes sense. Okay, perfect.

And also, I don't want you feeling left out this morning. Producer Carl has whipped this up for you, Jules. Daniel's mum has got it going on. Thank you. There she is. All right, so Julie's playing for Julie, And then we've got from Ootahee, because I have to say it every time. Oh, to to-tahi, crush church.

Morning, Rainy? Morning. What a sick name, Rainy. That is a cool name. Love that. Is that your full name or is it a nickname? No, it's my full name. You've got cool parents, man.

Okay, so Christine's playing for you, Rainie. Good luck. Clint, the mathematical question, please. Okay, mums, as soon as you know the answer, just shout it out. Do we do a table card? They shout out the answer, that's your answer? No, you can go again. Let's do a table card and see how we go.

Okay, so once you say your answer, that's it. You can't go, oh no, hold on wait, and confirm it, so make sure you have the answer. Okay. Okay. I need you do, then look very confident. Ed Sheeran is happily married with two kids. But if you found himself single and back on the market,

how young could Ed Shearren date with the rule we all know in love, half your age plus seven? It's already complicated. Ed Shearin is 34 years. old. If he adhered to the rule, half your age plus seven, he could date someone as young as... Oh, shoot. First answer wins. He's 34 years old? 34. Oh, Dallin. Oh, no. So she's bad at maths like her son. She's a great. She's ten out.

Carol, what was it? Half your age plus seven. Is 34 divided by two plus 23? No, 24. 24? Yeah. Julie wins. Me, who knew? No one was actually closer. They were both technically wrong and then Jules was the best to throw it out,

so I think we've got to give it to Julie. Oh, wow, don't, Julie, was by default. I just don't know. Oh my God, that's amazing. Julie, listener Julie, who's just won the double pass, have the best time. Dan's mum, Julie,

I don't understand how you could half something, add seven, and get the original number that you started with. Hmm. Oh, that's quite easy. Yeah. Was your mum trotering you and Mass Dan growing up? I think she busted me.

I dropped maths in like year 12, I think, year 11. Same. Not good. Yeah. It worked out for you, darling. Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be a hell of a show if you get a chance to get to Ed Sharon and one of his five gigs. Go Media Stadium in Auckland, Sky Stadium in Wellington or Apollo Project Stadium in Christchurch.

Coming up, producer's diary. And it wouldn't be fair to get mum on without getting dad on. We can dust off an old game we used to play. Does Clint's dad know? My favourite game. My dad is shocking at knowing who celebrities are. I love it those. And I'm going to put a photo on our Instagram

of you two just sitting there behind the disc. It is so beautiful. Yeah. A little booshka dolls. Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, we're just going to have to fix the old man's mic there. Again, a little bit of a hiss. Thank you, Dan, if you can suss.

There we go. There you go. Jack of all trees. Oh, my dad. Look to me. I did not have confidence. I wish Hannah was here to see that. My mum's here.

Fix it. Well, so we don't need your mom to think you're hot. No, but you're proud of your son. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, if you've just turned on, you're like, why are the appearance here? They just wanted to see what we do.

And coincidentally, they decided to come on the same day and hang out. Yeah, my mom couldn't come because Melbourne's too far. My dad couldn't come because heaven is far too far. Lazy. Yeah. Anyway. Okay. We're dusting off an old game that my old man is not great at.

Does Clint's dad know? My man, when you talk about a celebrity, has no idea who you're talking about or why they are famous. I guess it's not something when you were concrete contracting dad that you and the boys talked about much. No. It's a good way to be, though.

You're living in a real world with people you know and love as opposed to knowing too much about these distant celebrities. I love John's ignorance about this sort of stuff. Thank you, Dan. Yeah, so it's one of your best traits. I don't want to embarrass you too much, Dad, but I have dug up probably one of your worst plays at this game

from last year when I threw out what I thought was a household name and Dad had no idea. Dad. Who is? Joe Biden.

A basketball player. A leader of the free world. That was when he was president as well. He can barely walk upstairs and live slam dump. I think you're going something in your last. I love it. Okay, if you're new to the show, this is how it works.

Are we going to throw out a name that most people would know in round one? If Dad doesn't know them, then we go to round two, where a lot of people would know who that is. Like a B-Lister. And then round three is like household name stuff. And if we can get through all three rounds without Dad having a clue who any of them are, we win. As soon as he knows.

That's nine names. Right? Oh, my goodness. As soon as Dad knows who they are, that person ruins it for the team. Games over. Yeah. Just answer quickly, John. That's the key.

Okay, here we go. Okay, I'll go first. Dad. Liam Lawson. I know the name. I've got nine of these, John, so. No. Okay, Formula One driver.

Kiwi Formula One driver. I actually had him on my list, so I'll get rid of him. Travis Kelsey. No, I wouldn't have it. He's engaged to Taylor Swift's NFL player. John, since. Cynthia Arepo. Absolutely no idea.

Yay, we're through round one sitting. She's Alphabet and Wickford, by the way. Here we go round two. The name's getting easier. Ellie Goulding. Barth. Absolutely not. Oh, I was worried about that one, actually.

She's a singer. You might have heard her in the edge back of the day. Oscar Piastri. He just looks at you like, you idiot. You're making that name off woman. No, he's Liam Lawson's teammate No, he's not, he's a McLaren driver playing the same sports

Sure, yeah Noel Horn Fuss No, he's one direction Do you know who One Direction are? Yeah, okay He's one of those One of the guys, yeah

Any members of One Direction Can you name any of them? Can you name any member of One Direction? Harry Stiles Oh, he's got one No, that's not one of the other things No, no, okay.

Very good. He's the hottest one, too. Okay, here we go. So these are the easy ones. These are the household names they list is. If Dad can pick a name, he wins. If he can't, we win. Dad, who is David Schwimmer?

Oh, too easy. Don't look at... Don't. Don't. Definitely don't. He's about to tell him. David Schwimmer. Why is he famous, Dad?

He's looking at Christine, I'm sorry, babe. He's got no idea. No idea? You know or you don't? No, he doesn't know. No, he doesn't. He's Ross from Friends. Oh, okay.

Two more household names are we beat dead at this game. Kobe Bryant. Come on, come on, come on, he knows. I love how his brain's going through some sort of weird archive system like he's going to find it. Hold on, my knowledge of celebrities. What are you thinking? What comes to mind when you think Kobe Bryant? Just a quick, quick answer, John.

First thing that comes to mind. What do you think? What realm do you think he's in? Like sport, acting, sport. Okay, can you name the sport? I'm going to have to say, three, two, one. Race it. Oh, no.

He's one of the best basketball. players in the world it was. Okay. R-IP. Now this is probably the most famous name, John, if you don't get this. My goodness me. This is it. All the Marbles. This last name. For the win. John Randall. Come on, Johnny

boy. Vin Diesel. Christine's in the corner, just shaking her head and laughing. Who do you think Vin Diesel is? Why do you think he's famous? Is anything coming to mind? Or is it just blank in there? Blank.

Oh, no. Throw out an occupation. Anything. Can you name one occupation? A rapper. Maybe it's a fairer. Here's the ball guy in the Fast and Furious movies. Oh, yeah.

Yes. Yeah. of him. He's seen him around. He's like you, John. The most important thing to him is family. That's right. I think it says a lot about you as a person in a good way. You're living away must. We're supposed to

live with the level of awareness for your living. Yeah, he doesn't know why people so much, but pours a hell of a driveway. Yeah, so I'm sure he knows all his grandkids' favourite toys and interests. I want to be like John when I grow up. Yeah, me too. Yeah, just oblivious. Yeah, exactly.

Some of the ones on you in the name, but Yeah, I reckon Julie your mum done You quite a lot of those I was very impressed She was trying to give him hands Sharrating at him She reads Woman's Day Oh nice

I do not Holy shit You made it the whole way through If you want more Find them on Instagram At Edge Breakfast See you tomorrow And then if that's not enough
