This is a podcast from Rover. Not your mum's podcast, unless she's into absolute filth, in which case. Respect. This is Clint Megan Dan's only fans. Podcast, that is? No, no-remone. Clint Megan Dan with Ash London. The Edge Brecky.

It's harder. In Auckland. One, two, three. One. Good morning, six o'clock Monday. What a week. These two, bloody bitching the moaning about fireworks still. When I hear them go,

I kind of smile and laugh because I'm like, Ash and Dan must be getting so pissed off right out of bed last night at 10 o'clock and I said, and agent's like, where are you going? I'm like, I'm going to go, find them. Same, I almost got in the car and drove around and gave them a, quote, peace of my mind. And Hannah said, don't do it.

I at least want to open up the window and just be like, turn your, game fireworks off your job, just yell. You sound underhand. I'm on here. Because it's happening until midnight. Yeah. Like Guy Fawkes was a week. you go, it's a Sunday night, and it's the same

people doing it every night. And you didn't have them an Aussie, eh? My wife was shocked by that. You can't just personally buy fireworks? As if Australia's like, I'm a nanny state. But also it's very dry over there, isn't it? Absolutely. Very careful. That's a good, great point. Oh, yes. Huge show today, John Campbell.

Yeah, John Campbell's going to be joining us at 8 o'clock. Beautiful man. We'll probably lose Dan for the next, how long does the Formula One race go for? Basically the whole show. Okay, so Dan'll be out. Dan's done. Liam Lawson starting 7th this morning, and The former one in Brazil.

He's on soft tires to begin with. Yes, thanks for that, Ash. And the Kiwi spank Samoa in the final yesterday evening or last night. Samoa were actually up in the first half and they went into the sheds and they looked so good. And then I don't know what happened. Wheels just fell off and the Kiwis dumped them like 30 something 16. Yeah. Sports, sport.

Also, Auckland FC got up against the Phoenix and they lost two men. They got two red cards. They were down to nine. They had nine men. And they still hung on and beat him two one. Top of the table, my boys. I wore my AFC hat on the weekend. They're going to win it this year, I think.

I'm telling you, it's the bandwagon to get on, guys. That's Sabrina's singing now. Does Sabrina, like you. Clint, Megan Dan. Oh my gosh. Time to jump to our 6am throwback. Ian Kerry Project, us versus the playlist. I hate this one.

Always hate to get shaky. Not a fan. Well, the only thing I could find today of big celebrity birthdays specifically pop artists was French Montana he's 41 today I once went to his house in Pasadena

Calabasas to interview him and they produced me rocked up and I just wait by the pool and then we ended up waiting two hours because he was like oh he's just in a recording and we could see him through the glass upstairs

just lounging about in his robe brilliant but it was such a lovely day when it was so tired and we had Starbucks so we just lay by his pool waiting and then eventually came out we did the interview

I did a wee there's marble bathroom. Why are you always wearing in Slick? Didn't you wee in Pete Wentz's bathroom as well? That was my producer, had diary around Pete Wentz's bathroom. You don't want to,

you don't want that at an interview at someone's house, hey? No, I guess you get nervous wheeze. Of course, I have to wee. All that Starbucks will be drinking. If one started, first lap, no crashes. Isn't it funny how most of the crashes

are in the first minute? Yeah, because they're all bunched up at the start. But Liam Lawson, I think, still seventh, which is a great result. I shouldn't, spoiler alert, though, because there'll be people that are wanting to watch it delayed. I don't think anyone.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. And then they get angry when the news guy's like, and Liam Lawson's finished, blah, blah, whatever. And then they get all angry. It's the news, man. Yellow flag already. Yeah, someone's gone off. There we go.

But really, if you're such an F1 fan that you don't want spoilers, but the race starts at 6am, you're watching it. Yeah. Yeah, you're sitting at work with your phone on your desk, I would imagine. Unless you're one of those people that starts work early like us, so you can't. You know, you've written one of those jobs you can't watch. Oh, and then that's life. Yeah. It's your fault for being a surgeon.

So we're going to play, what's his name? Well, Frenchmore 10, I don't know if it's, if you don't know he's got any throwbacks. It's my dad's birthday today and he died. So any Celine Dion songs we can play, he died, so it's pretty sad. Yeah. Pretty sad about it. Okay, what was his favorite song? Anything really.

It's all coming back to me. Power of love. I mean, I love you, Ash, and I'm sure I would have loved your dad. And I love Celine Dion more than life itself. But I don't know if we can get away with playing Celine. I really don't. Is there like a Celine Dion remix where it's got a bit of pace? No, there is.

The only one I could think we might get away with playing is a live or... I'm a live. That's a crap song, isn't it? Oh, what? No, it's not. But I don't even think it's in our system. Last time I had to play it off YouTube. Yeah, it's okay.

It's not made to be today. Let's just stick with the playlist, even though Ash hates it. Did your dad like, to get shaky sometimes? Probably not. I don't know what that means. I don't know. How many brothers and sisters have you got? One.

I go, you got shaky a couple times. Oh, that's what that means. I don't know. Really? He's a red-blooded man, I'm sorry. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Dan was very happy that our lucky, inverted commas, a lot of numbers that we put together

with the people's Powerball didn't win because he forgot to buy it on for Saturday. I know. $20, guys? I would have been absolutely beside myself if you guys had won the $45 million and I didn't. You'd give me something, wouldn't you?

You'd give me a little cheap. If you went 22 each, I'd give you a million. No, but you know what? Not giving him something would teach him a much more valuable lesson. I'm not his mum, though. I don't need to teach him lessons. I'd be like, I'd cry.

I'd come in and, cry. No, I'd do what he'd do, I'd go, what are you going to do for it? Yeah, they'd need police pants down. Yeah, I'd do anything for, wow. If it was $2 million, I'd do almost anything. It's now jackpotter to $45 million this Wednesday. Here's the question, because we put together the people's powerball ticket with the luckiest numbers

that people listening to the show had and they explain why if you missed all that. We didn't win on Wednesday. We bought the ticket again on Saturday and we didn't win. How long do we keep buying the ticket for? We'd have to keep buying it until it goes off. I'm hocks now. We have to keep going. Do we win the million?

No, no, until that this jackpot goes off. And we can't... Oh, okay, right, right. Yeah, that's not bad. Because I'm like, at some point we've got to move on with our lives. Yes, but also, like, it feels so lucky that... And we can't change the numbers. We can't now...

Because if we change one and it wins, imagine. You know, so we just keep them as they are. Until this jackpot goes off and then we move on with our lives. And there's nothing because, you know how they do those drawers? They're like, it's got to a point now. It has to go this Saturday or as we'd say. If no one gets power... It ends up getting split amongst everyone that gets first division.

And in some instances, this has happened before. No one even got first division. So second division, it'll get split amongst them. Wow. So you only need like five numbers instead of six with the parable. Yeah, and so there's nothing that I can see online that says that it's a must win. So maybe it'll keep going. But this is the biggest jackpot New Zealand has ever seen, right?

Because 44 was the highest, and now we're at 45. That was the highest single winner. There was a 50 million in 2020, but that was split between two. Maybe that's the cap. Yeah. Maybe it doesn't get higher than that. It's unbelievable. Fifty million.

Imagine if you won that, just one. What would you actually do? Because I know everyone imagines that. I think you would have to keep a pretty low profile and just kind of cruise and just keep going to work. I reckon for at least three months. I couldn't do it. I would never come back.

You'd never see me again. No, but you'd have to. I think you also need time to let it settle in, get some advice, because naturally you just want to do this, that and everything else. You know, need to just calm down. Yeah, you're right, though. See it in your account for a while. Nose if one and...

Yeah, and then you've pretty much sold all your friends because you don't hang out with them anymore and that's the price of maybe your friendship. So you've got to keep taking stock of your life and what you want while it's sitting there, I think. You know what you've got to do? You've got to lie and just say you win $20 million, you say you won a million.

Yeah, because otherwise everyone wants a piece. And then when you don't get everyone on a holiday or something, like you spend 100 grand once a boogie-ass holidays, everyone thinks they've had their piece of your winnings, but really there's another $20 million in the bank. Then when they see you buy a party, batch and you do something else. They go, I think that mother F had won more than one.

No, and then you go, I've just got it in a really high interest account. I invested it well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm now 50 million now. One million. I invested it well. Because you know my shares, he's how I put $80 in my shares. He's in that one stock. Yeah, here we go. I checked on the weekend.

No, I'm at $210 from my $80. Oh my God. I meant to look money in that. You told me it was micro or something and I still didn't. Well, now it's too late because it's already exploded. If it's still going. And that's what I thought last time. You said it had doubled 160 and I didn't get in on and it's still going.

I can't believe it. Look at that graph. It's just... If anyone's listening now and they haven't got the numbers, they've only just found out that we've got our tickets. There is... Piastri's into number two. Loris is at number one.

Come on, Australia. Sorry, it interrupted. I told you this. The TV's a straight thing for you, too. The TV with the Grand Prix, there's a very bad idea. Yeah. So, Clint, I mean, you had the numbers, but they were... Yeah, 5, 6, 9, 13, 22, 34 and Powerball was.

Okay. Committed those some memory, I guess. Yeah, I did that many times because on the Os Lotto thing and using a lot of things, you can't just copy it into the next line,

you have to re-enter it and you can't use the keyboard you have to click it with the mouse. God, she's got beef with Lotto. Fireworks. She's come out firing this morning, guys.

She's got beef with us. Scandals next. No, I'm prepared today. Okay, good. Do you want Kim Kardashian? Yes, I want Kim Kardashian. Clint Megan Dan Leshco

Scandal It's a scandal Quite a scandal Scandal With Ash London Kim Kardashian Posted on Socials over the weekend

She said Well I'm not a lawyer yet I just play a very well-dressed one on TV I'm still all in until I pass the bar No shortcuts No giving up Just more studying And even more determination

So she's failed the bar Oh no See I thought she'd already done the bar Same She did the baby bar So because she is doing her law degree differently, she's not going to, like, law school. She's, like, studying at home, doing, like, a special version of it.

You have to pass the baby bar after your first year. And she failed that three times. But one of the times she had COVID and she was very sick. But it's very normal to fail at that many times. Yeah. And now she's taken the bar. So she's finished her degree. All she has to do to be a licensed attorney is pass the bar exam and she's failed.

It's not multi-choice, is it? I doubt it. Okay, because I was like, I guess when you sit it and you fail, and then you go, okay. Then you go back and you go, oh, no, I remember that one. It's D, not B. You know, and it gets easier. Like when you set your license, when you set your learners.

Absolutely. But I do think I know why she failed, and I watched this video over the weekend of her and Tiana Taylor is a famous actor and artist doing one of those like 40 questions things, and I think this is why she's failed. Oh, really? Yeah.

Do you use chat GPT for life advice? No. Do you use it at all? Yes. What about dating advice? No. Do you consider chat GPT to be a friend? No.

I use it for legal advice. So when I am needing to know the answer to a question, I'll take a picture and snap it and, like, put it in there. So you're cheating? They're always wrong. It has made me fail tests all the time. And then I'll get mad and I'll, like, yell at it and be like, you made me fail. Why did you do this? So technically, and it will talk back to me.

She says you can. GPT for legal advice, I'd say maybe. I don't think, I'm choosing a lawyer. I don't want one that's using chat GPT. I watched the first episode of her new show on The Weekend Halls Fear. Terrible. It's getting the worst reviews ever, but...

Unwatchable is like what I keep seeing. I think you need to embrace it for what it is, though. Yeah, but that's what I wonder. Is that why you were embracing it for, though, Dan? Yeah, I gave it a hate watch. No. And my goodness me, it's entertaining if you watched it in that way. It's almost like, I said to Hannah as we were watching it.

I'm like, I think they've written this on purposely bad. Like, that's what it seems like. And the acting's terrible. Otherwise, they wouldn't get like Glenn Close and Sarah Polson, these amazing actors. They wouldn't get them on board if they were taking it seriously. There's one scene in the first episode. You'll know when you see it. But Kim Kardashian, it's almost, like, you can see her smirking, like she knows how bad it is.

And she's in the, she's acting. But it's so bad. It's broke streaming records on Hulu. I reckon 90% of those streamers I hate watching it but who cares I get that money Also on the whole chat

GPT thing When can we just start calling it chat Like I are using chat Rather than chat GPT It's just too long Chat GTPs Does sound like something you'd use When it's very new

But now it's been round for like Five years You kind of like And your mum and others Are always calling it Chat GTP That's true I always forget if it's T and T

TIPP Yeah can we just drop the GPT No one knows what I love a G&T Yeah no one even does what the GPT stands for. Let's just call it chat. If there was AI that could make me a G&T,

I'd be investing in those stocks. Yeah. My dad used to, I'm resting in peace. My dad used to make, he'd be like, darling, come on make me GNT. I'm like seven. And I'd go on making me G&T. I was so good at them.

I saw this thing. I'm probably having advertised it, but you make sure all your liquor is all stocked up, whatever. It's a machine and then you just push which cocktail you want, and it makes it all for you. That's chat G&T. He's producer Carl.

GPT stands for generative pre-trained transformer. Let's just use that. Boring later. First call of the day, if you wanted to be you, we'll see you out of coffee for the rest of the week. 0,800, the edge. First call of the day.

First call of the day. Jess from the Mighty Wakator is our first call of the day this morning. Hey, Jess. Morning, Jess. Good morning. Good to hear from you're a healthcare assistant, but you're nearly a registered nurse. Yes.

Are there any perks? I said state exam in a couple weeks. Oh, good luck, babes. you're going to smash it. Are there any, like, perks in that? Because we also see you've had four knee reconstructions. Do you get, like, I don't know, like, you know, perks are your job, you get discounts.

I just go, I like, we've worked together, like, you know, no fee. Like, if you're an air hostess, and you get, like, flights that are, like, 10% of what everyone else is paying. Any perks, Jess? No, there's no discounts for surgeries or anything. If you work in health care, it would be great as they was. It should be. Health care. We've got a good, yeah.

The one place you don't get discounts, isn't it? Is it the same knee or different knees? I've had three on my right, one on my left. Is it too much netball? What's going on? Netball and I was a squad swimmer as well, so. You're also in the proposal waiting room. How much longer do you think you've got to go? You've been in there, what, five years now, I see?

Yeah, I don't know, maybe another, you know. He's kind of dropping hints about, like, what rings I want. Oh, so it's on the radar. Yeah, if he's mentioning rings, you can't be far off. Unless he's doing that thing they do to, put this back in the healthcare, you know, where you're sitting in a room for a long time, and then they go, uh, Jess, and you go, yeah, that's me. They go, come with us.

And then they just put you in another room. And then you sit there for like another half an hour. And they're like, Jess, and they're just moving. Moving you around. So he's moved you into the ring room now. And how long are you going to be in that one? I was going through my husband's phone, not in a dodgy way. I was legitimately looking for a photo.

To see if he was cheating on you, yeah. No. And I saw a photo of a ring that I had looked at. Oh, no. I had taken a photo on the person's hands. and at the shop. And I was like, oh, he's bought the ring. Oh, because that could be...

Oh, because that could be a love actually situation where he's taken the photo of a ring for someone else. Imagine that. I was like, I love that ring, so then he bought it for someone else. Yeah. And you get a book. At Christmas. Or a Johnny Mitchell CD.

Oh, I'm sorry. Well, at least Jess that your partner does, has he said he wants to get married? Yeah. Okay, God, he's not one of those people that's like, I don't believe in a piece of paper. It's just a piece of paper, you know? Make sure you get a pre-nup, though,

because once you become a nurse. That's right. We won't pre-nop. We want pre-not, babe. Come on. Yeah. We love you, Jess. Good luck with your exam.

Is it an exam that you sit in a couple of weeks? Yeah, 18th of November. Come on. You're going to smash it. Yeah. You know your stuff. Still doing exams as an adult. Yeah.

I just thought when you leave uni, like that was all done and now he's still doing him as an adult. How long's the exam for? It's two, just over two hours long. Oh, it's not too bad. Three-hour ones are the... But do you have to remember all science stuff? and, like, you know, medication and all that stuff.

It's a bit of everything on, like, the legal side of nursing, but it's all multi-choice. We just need to remember that the answers in front of us. Oh, that's good. Multi-choice is good. And is it kind of one of those things, like, you'll learn, let's say you learn everything there is to know, but you're only going to be tested on potential 20%.

So you obviously have to learn everything because you don't know what you're going to get asked. Yeah, no, I think, yeah. I mean, they do like a range of all different questions around the different parts of nursing, so we kind of have to have good knowledge on everything. I was going to say, surely as a nurse, you couldn't just be two hours' worth of knowledge. Do you reckon you could just watch all 23 seasons of Grey's Anatomy and then do the exam?

That'd be good. Yeah. Or short on the street, there's so many options, Ash. Probably quick at it just study, though. Well, let us know how you go, Jess. We've got you. Yeah, in Texas next Tuesday. Let us know.

Also, you can head to Zed and Grab the newest Ultimate Pie Beef, Prisket, Smoke Cheddar and Halepino. We'll get a voucher out to you. You spend it however you like in store. Perfect. Thank you so much. Yeah, don't do it, Kim Kardashian and fail the last hurdle. That's the worst. How nice is this? Even NASTECs are through. Good luck, Jess. Good on her. I love that.

She's also an adult learner, halfway through a bachelor of midwifery. I love hearing about people in their 30s, 40s, 50s going back to uni and studying something. It's never too late. Never too late. You got one life. Don't waste it doing something you don't want to do. Nauty-640 next. And Ash came in this morning and said, I got something. You boys are going to, this has happened to my friend. This is your absolute dream, Clint.

You would not cope with it better. It's actually legitimate for Clint. If he goes to heaven, his heaven is just threesomes. Yeah, but obviously two guys, one girl. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. I'm trying to get naughty at 640. So I've told you boys that one of my friends reached out to say she's doing something. And as soon as I read her plans, I thought of you guys, especially, especially you,

client. I thought he would absolutely die of this. He'd frost it. So this friend's got a big birthday coming up this month. And she obviously wanted to, you know, market in time and do something special for herself and do something special for her partner. Good honour. Good honour. So she sent me at this message, I did a thing. I've booked a photo shoot. Boudoir. All women. sexy vibes. Gonna be hot. And let's call her husband Jack.

Jack gonna die So it's these things where you go And it's run by all women They do your hair and your makeup And they put you in some sexy lingerie And they do a full on like Topless photo shoot And there's groups like

No no no it's only her My wife does that When she's made me, I've got the book I've got it for my birthday For God the sake Of course she's done her Problemers I want to show people And I want to be like

To get out my wife first minute Jamie's like Well, hold on, hold on. You want to put it on social. He's like doing a carousel of all her topless fun. Turns out there, Rose's Jamie's hand. She's like, oh, fine, you show them the book. Yeah.

But this is the best thing. Jamie does hair and makeup for a woman for this exact thing. So there's this guy, Peter, and he's the photographer, and he does photoshoots like this. My wife will do the hair and makeup because she was around it enough. She was like, oh, Clint would love this. You're right. I did love it.

I love how she came to love. I love how she came to this thing you've been used. Now he's taking it over and telling you about it. He's like, I shall stop you there. My wife's friends have all now done it for their husbands. Oh, it's the best. So if you want to do it, Jay can do your hair and make up. She'll get you to the photo shirt and you can do your own.

Is she full boobies out or is it just like a sexy bra? In some of them. Heaven! And you can be as seductive and as modest as you want. You can choose. You can just choose. Yeah. I'm going to do this for my wife.

I'm going to do the male version. It's not sexy. I haven't heard of that. No, and it's really not hot when guys do it. Is it like an Angettys shoot where I've got like a little pumpkin over my wallet? Juicy Gawas, how are you doing? No, she hasn't been. Can we talk about the real winner in this conversation,

Peter the photographer who came up with his business? Oh my God, every time she shows me photos and different things, I'm like, fuck, Peter, like, how is his wife left this over the line? He's a straight man. I'm producing. I'm finishing up the guys. I'm going to go be a boudoir photographer. I need a woman.

I would need it all. I would not want some straight man called Pete taking photos of my boobs. He's called Dennis. He's not Peter. He's like a Dennis or a Francois. I think maybe him and his wife work the company together.

Oh, that's cute. Yeah, so I think that's probably where... He should be behind the scenes then. The wife should be doing the Skype. He should be doing accounts. He might not be as good with it. Turns out his wife sucks with a camera though, and he's like, babe, do you want me to do it?

She's like, no. You're perfect. Stay there, Pete. Not up the last time. I think I will do it. but I need like six months to get into it because I would personally want to do it in my best shape so if that would be the perfect like

what's the word like goal okay I'm getting my kid off and I want to look back on it in 30 years and be like damn I was a hot 40 oh are you going to have a pumpkin over the bits or are you just going to go full nude no I'd get full nude I need to like really have my arms higher to really make sure they were lifted otherwise

just like your whole skin Oh, hey, hey, Pete knows all the moves to make you look, you know, like, great. Like, he knows all the angles and stuff. I think I'd need other women to be, like, holding my boobs up under me. They're, like, hiding behind you, just, like, pulling your skin back. They were, like, fishing wire under my boobs, just lift them up. Ash's got eight bulldog clips just all at the back. Five girls, like, ha!

My skin is bleeding. Just photoshop the blood out. Outside the factory, it looks like people are playing a game. of tug-of-of-war because they just don't know where the other end of the road isn't it. Bring around the car,

we're going to need the car now. Where's the tow-wrote? Where's the cherry pick-up? I'll bring in Jay's book tomorrow. Clint Meg and Dan. It's Clint Meggin' Dan's. All right, those that were excited to see jelly roll over the weekends.

This song hasn't aged well. He said he was coming. But he lied. Hey, hey, hey, he didn't lie. He got sick. He said he got sick. It's only the third time in his career. Don't be insinuating that he's not really sick.

What do he think he wanted to do? Just like go to the strip club in Sydney and not leave. Friends of mine who were supposed to be going to show who got very angry and did a bit of a deep dive, said there was no actual evidence on social media from even being in New Zealand. Oh, I don't know about that. So you reckon he was in Australia got sick

and then was like, I'm not even going to get on the plane? Well, I think the reason why friends are getting angry is like if he didn't get on a plane he wasn't in New Zealand then they would have they could have been informed a lot earlier because they got told an hour before the show was supposed to start

that he wasn't coming and there were people that are travelling all over like the country for it. I met some people on the weekend Nicola and her family that had flown up from Christchurch they had jelly roll t-shirts on a whole like a husband and two kids I met them like an hour before

the concert was cancelled and they were so looking forward to it So thoughts to you guys. Yeah. Imagine having to tell the kids. And they were so excited as well. So there'd be a lot of people like that. Who wears the cost of that? Does jelly roll take the hit?

Does Live Nation? Yes. The promoters would have insurance against that sort of a thing. Right. But there will be a lot of hoops. There'd have to be doctors, certificates, and all sorts of things to prove that it was in. Yeah, right. Live Nation have said that all ticket holders will receive an automatic for refunds.

You don't have to do anything. Yeah. So rough. It's still rough, though, isn't it? if he'd come up. I mean, you're not getting fights refunded, are you? Absolutely not. Michael Jackson is getting a biopic film coming out very, very soon.

Have you seen on socials? Take a listen. I know you've been waiting a long time for this. The tracks are made. The songs are ready. Let's take it from the top. This is your. story.

Michael Jackson's nephew is playing Michael. It is such a shame that we can't really truly enjoy that music anymore because it's some of the best music ever made but he's very clearly a pedophile. There is, yeah. I don't say allegedly by law, I don't know. Interesting you say that, Ash, because there's been hold-ups in the movie for a while because they've had to do a settlement with one of his accusers. So there's a whole load of issues around the movie and getting released.

So it's been delayed, I think, for a... at least a year. Because you remember the doco, there was like a Netflix documentary that came out where a couple of guys specifically came forward and talked about them growing up and they're a relationship with Michael and stuff.

You thought that was going to be the end of him. Like the PR nightmare of that alone. But it seems... Well, it's his family. His family, of course, genuinely, most of them believe that he was innocent and they want to protect his legacy. So, look, I'm not surprised

that a relative is playing him but man this is you've got to feel for these adults now but these kids yeah there's going to be one of the hardest roles like just to be able to play though to be able to dance and perform like Michael Jackson one of the most charismatic pop stars like in the world hard one but April 24th next year is the scheduled release day unless that does get bumped and if you're following the Formula One this morning Liam Lawson started seventh in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix in Brazil and looking like it's going to be a pretty good result for Liam Lawson this morning. Currently he's seventh, but there's all

pit stops. They're out of sync at the moment. So hopefully he can get inside the top six or even maybe top five. It's all very stressful. Obviously I just want Oscar Piastri to win the whole thing because he's an Aussie, but looks like it's not going to happen anymore. Less and less likely looks like Norris is going to win the championship now.

All right, well let's give away a thousand bucks next with Easy Money and then we've got your tickets to head to Ed Shearham for free when he arrives here in January, Auckland Christchurch and Wellington. Let me just see if today's Easy Money's door Hold on. Yeah, it's doable.

Okay. It's funny if she's like, nah, don't bother it's a hard way. Clint Megan Tan. The Edge. 1K.E. Z. Practice makes perfect. And now you can play anytime online.

Here we go. Yeah, get a munkster on Rover. If you get a 10 out of 10 score, you go on the draw to 100 bucks or play for a grand at 7 and 8 every morning like Ash is going to. Morning, Ash. Good morning.

From the Hawks Bay. About to play easy money. You're ready. I'm ready. Okay, you just need to give us 10 answers, starting with the letter, Ash, gives you inside 30 seconds. You can pass, but no repeated answers. Good luck.

Thank you. You know what, Ash, do you want P or K this morning? What's that, sorry? Do you want P or K? Which letter? I will go off P. P. Good choice.

Good choice. Okay, can I please have a three-letter word? Put. Something in the backyard. Playground. Something made with eggs Um, pasta A body part

A board part A board game Pictionary Something that has buttons Pants Something in the sky Pluto A country

Time is a great call babe Yeah I thought plane might have been a sitter but 10 more seconds, and she would have had it. You know what? It just wasn't quick enough. The body, part, pancreas, pupil, pelvis. That was the one you passed on. Had you not have passed, you would have got seven.

Just needed a little more pace. Yeah, good job, darling. Thank you so much, guys. It's a good start to your Monday. You know what? It was a valiant effort. Yeah. No daycare drop off goes well this morning.

No tears. I'd say, bye, mom. Have a great day. Bye, love you. When they say, I love you, unprompted. Yeah. The best. She's gutted.

She's gutted. Back again. 8 o'clock, your chance to play for a grand in the handle, thanks to Novice Glass, proud partner of the Special Olympics in Z. Can we read that text out from Naz? I reckon she's on to something there. She said, I think the edge should organise for a bunch of girls. Jamie can do their hair and makeup,

and we can all make books for Xmas for our partners. She's talking about the photo shoot that Clint's wife did. I don't hate it. We were talking about it before. Sexy photoshoot and Ash was talking about her friend put together a book, and I was like, yeah, my wife's done that, and she's convinced a few others of her friends. get amongst it.

If we did that, you guys wouldn't be able to come, it would just be me and then, yeah, they could do it. Maybe like a green room, we could be there where we just chat to people just to, you know, make them feel comfortable and that, but then once you guys go through and then it's just a bit of a girl group thing. It's just you guys and Peter.

Yeah. The photographer. He's all right, ladies. He's the photographer. Let's get this done, I. I've never met him, but I don't think he's a big burly, like, you know, Harley Davidson driving lad.

He just pulls up on his Harley With his camera slung around his back He's just an iPhone It's not a bad idea, Nass Watch the space It's just an old, like digital camera He got off trape Clint, Megan Dan

Every single day this week We have a double pass for you to go and see Ed Sheeran Live on his loop tour How are we going to give them away, Clinton? I'm glad you asked You know how he does love a bit of maths old, Ed Shearne? He does. Call his albums and multiply subtract

Divide Play No Plus Did he do a plus It was the first one Divide as well Plus divide

Equites subtract Yeah Yeah Yeah So that's how we landed here Two plus two is four Minus one

That's freak In maths Edmats All right Kind of like I guess like bed maths Remember bed maths Oh that used to

Absolutely do my head I reckon that's a Kiwi thing Yeah It was like brackets Expans Addition No Expans

division, multiplication, addition. I love that. It was my most hated topic. I loved it. I like, because it was no... I know why you like it and I'll let me say. Because there's only one answer. Yeah.

There's no arguing about it. There's no grey area. It's either right or what's wrong? It doesn't give you the chance to spiral into your deep discussions about it because it's just one answer. Can you imagine being in his philosophy or humanity's class? Absolute nightmare. Yeah, but what about...

And you'd be like, no, no, no. The answer is six. It can't be... It's five, it's six. Yeah, love that. Okay, here we go. We've got a double-passed, Shearing. Here's how it's going to work.

First, you guys are going to show how the game works, and then we're going to play it after the song for you to want a chance to go to each. I'm not going to lie. I'm going to let you do this, Ash, because I am terrible at mass. I was in, like, booster mass classes, so there's no point me even partaking in this break. Okay, ready? Okay. Dan, try and stay with me.

We're doing maths. When I say I haven't read the email that 4,000 people have written on that says Ed Shearing Topic, I've not read it. You're listening, this is not your equation to an Ed Sharon ticket. This is just Ashes and Dan's for a demonstration. Yes, just maths. And I'll read out the equation. And the first person at 0-800 to give me the answer wins.

If you give me the wrong answer, I'll go to the next person, the next person until someone has it correct. Okay, here we go. It's going to take about seven minutes to explain it before. Ed Sharon was born in Feb, 1991. Yeah. At his age, if he tours for a. another 30 years, then retires for four.

Yeah. Before deciding, before deciding he's made a mistake, and he comes back and tours one last time for one final year. At what age will Ed Sharon finally retire from music? So six there, and then he comes back after a year. No, he comes back and does one more year because he missed it. So he's 68th year, he'll do another year. You've made it too hard.

When he finishes touring, when has he a first? officially retired. But is his birthday happened before the end of that year or after? Well, it's at the end of the year obviously he was born in February.

Too hard. So 68? 69. Thank you. Yeah. Of course the answer would be 69 if you were born a bloody thing.

Is the answer for everything 69? Every time? And then he goes eh. Now is the one for the listener is going to be easier than that one?

Yeah, it's just addition. I've gone with his first album plus in 2011. In 2011 he dropped that one. It's very first album. Okay. Um, so it's all just addition. Some simple addition.

Yeah. Well, I mean, uh, yeah, so if you want to head along, I went 100 edge. Dan, where did I lose you when he was born? I think when you just started using numbers. When you said 1991, I was like, I'm never going to get this. He put his 10 down. Genuinely. If the train moves at 50 kilometres an hour.

I wrote 1991 on a piece of paper and then plus after it and then nothing since. Two plus two is four minus one. That's free. Edmats. All right, if you can crack the equation, we will give you a double past Ed Sharon every day this week. We're giving the chance to get there for free.

So we're going to hit you with some Ed Maths. He does, I don't know what his obsession with maths is, but he's named all of his albums. You know, division, multiplication equals plus. I reckon it was just one of those ones who he's like, I'm going to theme it from the star. Yeah. And now he's just stuck with it.

Like Adele naming it after the age that she is when the album comes out. Yeah. Well, we're focusing on his first album, 2011, was plus. So it's all addition. So I wait under the edge. I'm going to rattle off a bit of an equation. We'll go to the first column. If you get it right, you're going for free.

If you get it wrong, we go to the next column. We'll just keep going through it until somebody nails it. You don't need to show you working. Okay. Let's see how you two go as well, following along. You've made it sound easy. Okay. It's just addition.

Okay. Ed Shearin arrives into the country in January. He's playing on the 16th and the 17th. Oh, two numbers already. Nightmare. Okay. If you add those numbers together. It's a cubby.

And then add 21, the date he's playing in Wellington. You've lost me. Then add that number to the two dates he's doing in Christchurch, 24 and 25. If you're correct, you will have just won yourself a double pass to one of his three shows. All right. I've got it. Let's go to Dylan. Morning Dylan.

Come on. How are you? Were you working out? out as Clint was doing it. I hope so. I was. So hopefully I'm right. Okay.

What do you do for a job? Um, I'm an accountant. You can tell me if I'm a good one or not. If he's wrong. Well, these days, zero does it all for you, babe, though. He's not having to sit there with a calculator. Dylan, what is the answer? Uh, 103.

Go ahead. Oh! Wow! That is incredible. Did you get that, Ash? Yeah. But I had a pen of paper, so. A lot easier to do it.

That to me, Dylan, is amazing. I could never have even... Adding five numbers together, and he's an accountant. You lost me after add 17 and 16 together. I was like, couldn't even think about it. What is it? I couldn't tell you, 17 and 16. Just double 16 and add one.

15 and 15's 30. Yep. Yep. Oh, it's 16 and 17. You know what double 16 is. 33. Oh, how does he go? Come on.

You can do it, babe. Got it back yourself. Yeah. No, but I just get all confuddled. I know what he thinks. He thinks he thinks someone this good-looking couldn't also be good at maths. But here we are to say you can be good-looking and good at maths, Daniel.

Are you saying I'm good-looking? I am, darling. But Dylan... Didn't work that out. Double past to see the big dog, Ed Sheeran, next January. Awesome. Good on you, babe. Awesome. Looking forward to it. Yeah, man.

Check it in the diary. You will be there on the 24th or 25th of Jan. A shout-out to a man who just texted 94. No. Just saying numbers. Hey Amanda, I'm relating to you, babe. Oh, how good. All right, Dylan, hold your progress and details back again.

Tomorrow, Ed Maths, if you want to head along to Ed Sharon for free. January, Kiwi Summer. How bloody good to have some plans locked in. Something to look forward to after you go back to work. Yeah. True. Yeah. So true.

Clint, Megan Dan. Over the weekend, devastating years, the Tongariro fires. They look like something out of a movie. A major wildfire at Tongaro. National Park is continuing to grow. Fire and emergency say it's well to an estimated 1,800 hectares since flaring up yesterday afternoon. 20% is now contained, but the warning it could take at least a week to extinguish. Foreground crews, 12 helicopters and 5 fixed-wing aircraft have been used so far.

Yes, now 2,500 hectares. Faka Papa's village has been evacuated as of last night. So yes, it's huge. And it's you want to have acres in a hectare. So that is so big. It's unbelievable. Like you have to see it to really believe it. And the worst thing is finding yourself in the thick of it

when you're actually just doing the crossing, going for a bit of a hike and just enjoying your weekend, which is what Daisy Bell found herself on. Morning, Daisy. Good morning. So you had to get evacuated on, correctly, from it was it Saturday afternoon? Yes, exactly.

It was very dramatic. Wow. So when did you, when you headed down on the hike, like what were conditions like? Was there any kind of indication that you might get into trouble when you headed out? No, no. We actually, when we started it, we drove from National Park to the Mangatea Popo Hot to start the hike.

And we actually drove past the spot where the fire started. And all of our group people saw the fire. It was very small. Got you. And on the road, there were one fire truck already, they already arrived at the spot, and there were two or three firemen putting out the fire already. So none of us thought it's going to grow their face. And we were allowed to drive past there and starting the hike.

And people, you know, you drove past a small bushfire and you forgot about it. you think it's going to be put out. Especially if the trucks are there. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, there's a fire truck deployed there already. And so when we started the hike, we were about four kilometers into the track. Then we start to realize, oh, look at those smoke.

Yeah. The fire. So that's when we realized, oh, the fire didn't got put out. It seems to grow bigger. And so how did you get out? So you realized it was coming towards you. you realized you needed to get out of there. What happened next?

Actually, nobody realized that we needed to get out. And people were just keep on going. And we were very lucky, actually. We were met with the ranger who at the time we saw her, she just got radio communication, told her to evacuate the track. so if we to be honest it was all timing

if we didn't meet the ranger and we could have been stranded in the mountain. That is so true, Daisy. You could have just kept going thinking everything's fine and then it would have been a lot harder to get out and then far out. You should be buying a lottery ticket

for the $45 million lottery Yeah, that's the same thought. Thank you. I don't know. I think you might have used that for your luck. Yeah, maybe the luck's gone. Oh my goodness. I'd still buy one. I'd still buy one.

Gosh, it's such a great reminder that Mother Nature is a powerful beast. And that these wildfires move so, so quickly. Like the wind and the way it moves across country is incredible. It's crazy. Daisy, we're so glad to you're safe. Yeah, and we gave credit to the rescue team who made the early decision to evacuate us. Yeah. So did you get picked up and helicoptered out?

Yes, exactly. It was very dramatic and people were very excited. being picked up by the helicopter while in the life experience but at the same time our group also feel deeply sad for the lands that were burning and the animals

who lost their life and their homes yeah of course well if you're the kind of person that loves to be out of nature taking big heights you're the kind of person who loves and respects nature and animals

so it is very sad and a huge shout to the firefighters that are currently out there fighting it's amazing what they do yeah if you would like to follow Daisy on TikTok. I love Altearoa 0-0, obviously, adventuring through this beautiful country. I'm sure there's lots of great content on there. Daisy, we're so happy that you're safe.

Thanks for chatting to us today. Oh, thank you very much. Thanks, Daisy. She's lovely. Great day of you with us. Clint, Megan Dan. Six weeks out from Christmas, maybe there are a few people that can relate. My wife said she wanted me to support her in her fitness goals in the lead up to Christmas.

We've been here before. It didn't end well for you. Here's a replay. So wife was out right I'm going to start getting like serious with my gym commitment instead of just donating every week I didn't need to do that

Sorry Hasn't got off to a good start It hasn't And I don't know If there is anything Us guys can do To help When your partner decides

That they want to Really start achieving their fitness goals Losing weight Whatever it might look like For them We were getting ready for bed And I said cool Well let's

Like do a way in now and you don't even go like oh you don't need to lose weight why are you doing that straight off the bat you should have gone What do you mean honey You're perfect

How do we know How do we know how well we're going If we don't have a starting mark Sharon how would you feel If you did what Clint did the other night Followed Jamie down the hall And every time she took a step went Boom

What a piece of work It's not helpful It's not helpful First of all the suggestion Of a night time weigh in Why I didn't know I didn't know the night time and the daytime way and we're different. Very different.

I've learned that. I work up in the morning and I look at myself naked in the mirror and I'm like, Addison Ray, that you? And then at night time I'm like, Shrek, that you? Literally two different bodies in the mirror. Yeah. I don't know what happens while I'm sleeping, but there's a redistribution of wage. Our princess Fiona, right?

Yes. My wife on, I think it was Sunday, was like, I want to get up in the morning and go for a walk slash jog. I was like, yeah, I'll come with you because now I'm sporting. The problem is, I don't know what it is about running on asphalt, whatever. Like, the jarring gives me, like, itchy legs. Interesting. Yeah, so I started getting really itchy legs.

So... Maybe you're allergic to exercise. Maybe. It has to be in a gym looking at himself in the mirror. So I jumped on the lime app. And I found a lime scooter. And then I just kind of, like, drove behind her, giving her messages of support. And you were going, like, boom, boom, boom, boom.

But she was running, where you better not have been. I was like, this great pace. You're doing great babe. Oh, I want to kill you. If my husband, okay, first of all, I would never involve my husband in any, like, fitness journey of mine. I just like to do it on my own. I go and do it, I don't read it, talk about it,

don't mention it until I start getting hot. In which case, the only feedback I want from you is, baby looking so good. If I was running and Adrian even gave one hint of feedback at my own, and she did ask for it, don't get me wrong. Yeah. But I would murder him. I only one time, because I was showing off,

because, like, a lady and her daughter walking past, and I went, You are a nightmare Well, this is a joke And we're almost home by then You could have done resistance training And not put the money into the She can just pull me along

Pooge you along That's a great idea Yeah That's better And then there's this dress as well That I like love It was like And I think that's probably

You know how like if you have clothes That don't fit you And you're like I'm gonna keep hold of them Because I'm gonna get back into them Yeah So you know how hot she looks in it Yeah and it's like One of my favourite dresses of her

So I was like Why is it like booby or? Oh, I don't know. I just love the colour and the foot on it and I said to Jay is it helpful if we have some sort of a goal like maybe the goal is Christmas time. I don't know. I'm trying to be like, how can

I help you have like some sort of a tangible goal that we together are working towards. So I'm also... I'd love it if you fit it into this again. Is that where you were going to go? I don't say it like that. And my wife's like, I need to probably drop the rosé's in the wine. So I'm like

all right, I'm going to support you and I'm going to give up alcohol as well. Well, don't say it like that, don't go, if I must. No, but I'm like, right, okay, I'll support you. Are you sure that she wants, she really does want your support? Yeah, well, she, and your marriage.

Are you sure that when you say things like, you can fit into this dress again, don't stop drinking, you ho, I'll stop drinking. Oh, you didn't say you ho, did you? So you think no to the following her on the lime? Absolutely not. If you're going to be following her, run. I try that, my leg's got to it, yeah.

No, no, no, you just got to be like, I support you, but go out with the girls or a trainer or, like, you can't remove yourself from the situation. And I thought, I was going to get her a trainer last time. I said we can pay for a job. No, they didn't go down one. Every time she eats, you need to stop saying a moment on the lips. It's a lifetime on the hips.

She was eating a bit of lettuce last time I saw her. What do you want us to do, Ash? What do you want us to say? Well, I can't speak for all women because I would never, ever say to Adrian, I need you to help me because Adrian is like the kind of guy that if he looks at a gym, he gets muscles and he can eat 10, Tim Thames, it doesn't make a difference. I like it to be totally separate.

I don't want him to mention it. Although on the weekend I did mention it, this is going to make him sound really bad. And I only said this because a couple of my friends are doing this. I mentioned that I'm bigger than I want to be. And he goes, why don't you just go on his epic? And I was like, Bha!

Oh, what I did have nothing to be to that. This is a throwaway comment, but I was like, I just ignored it. I was like, I'm not even going to. She's like, babe, don't even worry about. Like, who cares? Just take a few pills. It's sweet.

Like, figure out about it. Let's go to easy route. If you really care that much, I don't go for it. Like, hey, no judgment here. Does Jamie do the shopping in your househouse? Why don't you do the shopping for once and go and get, like, vegetables and stuff? That's what she gets. Their eating is so healthy, though.

Like, you couldn't get healthy. Take the temptation away from her. That would be a nice thing to do. No, the thing is Jay will eat healthy and then I'll open a bag of chips and then she'll be like, that's not fair. You can't eat that in front of me. I just feel like that. You need to tap out and be like, babe, I support you and everything, but this is up to you, and I don't want to get, just you, like, good luck.

But that sounds savage as well. I know. There's nothing we can do. As soon as they say, can you help me stay on track? You just literally just pretend you didn't hear them say it. I think you support her in any way you can. If she wants to put on weight, you support that. She doesn't want to.

She wants to get fit. But look, every relationship is different. If she's cool with you driving behind her on a lime scooter, being like, legs up, legs up, keep it. pace. If that is good for her, great. Not great for me, that's divorce territory for me. But for you, it's different. Just stop singing that song, Jamie, you want to Marlinberg. Clint McGinn Dan.

Dob yourself in, your neighbouring. Anyone really? If they're guilty of this. Uh-oh, there's premature decoration everywhere. Sorry about that. It's Clint Meggin' Dan's. Pre-Matured documentary. All right, who's setting up the Christmas trees too early, at least according to Dan? going up today, maybe this week for you to, Ash.

Yeah, I've seen a side of Dan this morning that it's really upsetting. It's worse than A-lister. He's getting so angry. F-stop on F-bombs, screaming. I love Christmas. I do love Christmas. I really, really do. I think it's the best time of year. If you don't get to be the Christmas police as to when people can experience joy, it's not affecting you. Get over it. No, I disagree. I think that people

should be celebrating Christmas December 1st. That's the cut-off. Dan's mum texted him. I put my tree up, babe. You should have seen him yelling at his phone. her tree was pathetic. It does look pathetic. It does look pathetic. It's just a little one. It was cute.

Yeah. Joanna, are you guilty? Good morning. Morning. So normally I live with Anne and I'm on December 1st camp. Sure. But I've got an almost three-year-old now and he got obsessed with Halloween and I'm not moving off Halloween until I move him on to something out. Yeah.

Better to have Christmas decorations up than Halloween decorations, I'd say, Joanna. So we're moving on. We're going to do it this week, I think. But Joanna, look, I love you. Okay, I know you, I love you. But here's the thing. If you've got a three-year-old and you're putting up a Christmas tree this early, the kid's going to be like, when's Santa coming, when's Santa going?

And not for another two months, almost. Yeah, you say Sue, you say you better be good. Yeah. I would say more time to manipulate the kids because if Sam, there's more time for you to call Santa. Using it as a bribe. Susie, Christmas tree up yet? Mine is almost going up,

but that's because my kids won't be with me on Christmas. but my neighbours, my beautiful neighbours, they are the ones that put up their whole house. They decorate the whole house with all the trees. Yeah, and you have to probably start early because otherwise you're doing all that work for like three weeks. If you put up early... What day are they putting it up, Susie?

If it's December, fine, happy days. Oh, no, no, they start in October. Oh, October's mental. I like it. I like it. My kids go over every single year and they are absolutely dumbstruck by how much they put into it. It's absolutely gorgeous.

Yeah, I'm sure it's fine, but not in October. It's just too early. Why? Who cares? It's not, it's so far away from Christmas. It just is. Oh, what about this one? My neighbour has all year Christmas lights outside every, oh, the edge of their house, the deck, fence going 24-7.

Oh, they're just lazy. I don't even think they really. You wouldn't cope with that, would you, Dan? But wouldn't it be better for people to start in November, and then pretty much right at the beginning of the jam, they knock it on the head, rather than those people who didn't jam the tree's still up and you're like, saw your life out.

I think it's more acceptable to have it up in January than it is to have it up in October. Halloween hasn't even happened probably for them. Dan has restrained himself on here because producer needs just confirmed we got the beeps. This was Dan off-air during the last song. I was legitimately scared for my life. I secretly chucked his mic on and he had no idea.

This is him yelling at us. This is how passionate he is about people. putting up their Christmas trees too early. So you have to put up with your fucking kids going, when Sunday, come and Wednesday? Not for another fucking two months, sorry, kid. Why have you got the Christmas tree up then, mum? Because we're fucking insane!

Shut the fuck! That is, that's you, bro. That's you having an out-of-borderly experience. This is like an intervention. No, I'm not embarrassed. I'm not embarrassed. If anything, I'm like, go. Go, dang, get a pair boy!

I love Christmas. I really do. You make that guy, my love. In December. Okay. Let's give away some cash next. Easy money. Someone's texts through saying,

stop messing with people's happiness, Dan. I'm not. Okay, please don't yell at us when we go to a break then. Clint, Megan, Dan. Oh, my gosh. The Edge, 1K, E, Z, money. Practice makes perfect. And now you can play anytime online.

Thank you, Glenn. Hopefully he gets that cough checked. All right. He just relax, eh, on a Monday? That'll be fun. We'll just get it up. All right, play online on the Rover app. If you get 10 out of 10, you go on the draw to win a thousand bucks

so you can play at 7 and 8 with us and try your luck if you can give us 10 answers. In 30 seconds, the cash is yours. No repeated answers you can pass. Have we got time? We'll come back. Morning, Erica. Good morning, guys. Good morning.

You're ready to go. You've cleared your throat? Um, yes. the best I can. Okay, let's do this. Today, my sweet, your letter is K, K for Chris Kringle. If you're talking about Christmas. Okay.

Ready to go? Yep, so K, letter K. K. Got it. Okay, K. Good luck. Beginning with K, can I please have a chocolate? Kit Kat.

A body part. Me. A TV series. Oh my gosh. Um, oh my goodness. You can pass. Pass. An occupation.

Oh my goodness, this is so much harder on the spot. It is, isn't it? You got it. A pass? Yeah, a hobby. Nothing. Yep, an R&B artist. Oh, that's fine.

Don't say sorry, darling. Erica, like the boys on the booth, producing car and producing tapes, when you pass the second one, they just, I see them screw up their plate from, just throw them over the ends. You know, straight away, it's like, sorry, babe. I know.

I even know that too. I was like, oh, no, that's done. That's what I think what happens, your brain goes, your brain goes, forget it, Erica. We're done. We cook this. Let's save our brain energy for something else later. I think we've had one time

where someone's come back from two passes. Yeah, keeping up with the Kardashians for Kay. Yeah, that's a good one. I just completely went blank, guys. But, yeah, thanks to the opportunity, though. Oh, you're very welcome. It was fun. Yeah.

Well, for us. Thank you, guys. Thank you, Erica. It'd be gutting, though, wouldn't it? You'd have all the hope in the world. Yes. Question, are dating apps dead? Is it still the way to find the one?

I think we're done with them. Yeah. Apparently, like there's a study come out that it's saying that most people now in 2025 are meeting just the traditional way, not on dating apps. Four people with a pendulum swung the other way. Yeah. Interesting. We'd love to hear from you.

Rate it or hate it, the old dating apps. Man I need. Speaking of. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. If you are looking for your man, he may not be on the dating apps anymore. Studies are suggesting that the dating apps might be dead and the old way of people finding the one.

Well, I've always been a huge advocate for the dating apps. I met my wife Hannah on Bumble. You were one and done, hey. I was one and done. Like, I just downloaded it. She was the first person. I think I was just lucky. 100% success rate, though, for you?

Yeah. But there's been a study that's just been released that's saying that now 75% percent of Gen Zias, so the younger generation, are done with the dating apps, saying that they don't find genuine connections on them anymore and they're trying to search for other ways, traditional ways to find their partner. And this makes perfect sense because if you are a young person in your 20s and none of your friends have actually found partners on the apps, why would you bother?

Like it was good for us because when it all, you know, first came out, everyone was doing it. People were finding love. Now, I mean, I don't know any people in their 20s who are meeting on the apps. I mean, it's hard for you to speak on behalf of all women, though, Ash, but do girls want a guy, say, at a bar or whatever in an afternoon to go up and go, hey, I just notice you and I just would kick myself to not come up and just see if you'd like to have a drink sometimes. As long as you're respectful about it and not pulling some crappy sexist like pickup line, I think like most women would love that.

It's a compliment if it's done respectfully. And surely it's got to be easy if you just go, the go-to line, whether it's true or not, just has to be, oh, sorry, I've already got a partner. Exactly. All good. And as long as they respect and go, cool, I had to give it a go. I reckon, that's a daymaker. Like, every woman remembers whether they were single, interested, uninterested, whatever.

They remember if a guy respectfully comes up and says, you're gorgeous. I'd love to buy a drink. I think we've had dating apps for so long. And maybe this is more of a millennial thing, not a Gen Z thing. But we've kind of lost the ability to do that. It's true. Because we've been, you know, talking online for so long. Yeah.

That just meeting in a bar and going up to someone is probably, like, really, scary now. What are you sick, Neeps? And I know Bella, you're kind of young as well. Do you feel like you've got the confidence to have that in-person conversation? I don't know. It's definitely like a point of conflict for me, because I would love to be able to go and approach someone, but I would love

to be able to do that without making anyone feel uncomfortable. You don't know how that's going to make someone feel doing that. But you're never going to be like, hey, nice boobs. No, no, of course not. Like, it would come up and be something genuine, but yeah, I'm not entirely sure. What about you, Bella?

The other side of it, the girls, because they're used to being approached by guys on Bumble, on hinge, that they're not used to having these guys come up to them. Would you be comfortable, Bella, if a guy came up nicely and cracked onto it in real life? Oh, shivers. Yes, I feel like that's what you want, but just nowadays, the likelihoodness of it happening is just so low. You kind of just have to revert to dating apps. So do you think, are all your friends on the app still? Yeah.

Yeah. Are you on them, like, hinge and stuff? Yeah, I am. But, like, also, like, you kind of, a lot of people don't want to be on them. But we kind of just have to. Which app are you checking the most and which app are you never on? Hinge the most. I'm actually only on Hinge.

Tinder, I don't go on because that's a bit more just like. I'm interested to know because I'm sure there's still a lot of people that are on the dating apps. But who's recently found the one on it? Well, what about this one? I just met my new boyfriend on Snapchat of all places. I'm also 35 and he's 24. Get a girl.

I've heard of people meeting like on running apps as well. That's like Rwrava. That's cute. I love. that. Yeah, so maybe there's alternatives out there. Yeah, and not specifically just your hinges or your bumbles. Rate it or hate it, dating apps to find the one.

Yeah. What do you think? Are you sticking up for them? Have you found the one? Genziers are walking away from dating apps. They reckon it's not the way to find the one anymore. Agree? Do you rate it or hate it when it comes to the dating apps? Well, the stats don't lie as a study. 75% of all genziers feel they're burnt by the dating apps and just going back to

traditional dating ways. I always hoped this would happen. With a lot of the ways that we live now that it's so just screen-based and stressful. You always hope that we're going to have a renaissance and go back to doing things the old-fashioned way. And the pendulum swings when we go too far one-way A and then we kind of correct it and come back and maybe that's what's happening. I kind of like that it's going back to the traditional sense, but there is still people sticking up for the dating apps. Bri, you're one of those people? Yes, I am. Okay, so you've found, you've been two years

single. Two years of dealing with not even, I couldn't even find the bare minimum on dating app. guys just give zero effort and I just wouldn't accept the bare, like yeah, couldn't even find the bare minimum. Yeah. So then, did you have any luck eventually? Like, you would download them, get sick of them, delete them, read download them, get bored, delete them.

Like, it's just a repeat thing and I know everyone is a repeat offender. Yeah. And then I found this boy on Hinge and I was like, oh, like, he's all right. And then I met him and he exceeded I did almost any expectations. I didn't really have expectations.

And he's amazing. Oh, that's so nice. So happy for you. So how long have you been together now? I like two weeks. Not great, but that's good. Enjoy it, babe, it's the funnest part. Enjoy just basking in that new, you know.

That's the best time in a relationship, pay, the very start. When do you get better? When are you catching up next? Amazing. Probably Tuesday night. Great. Tomorrow night, doing what? Is that good sexual chemistry, Briah?

It's amazing. Come on. We actually meet the stool together and don't remember each other. That's actually really cool. So you could get away with saying you were childhood sweethearts, you know? Yeah, no, we just didn't know each other. We didn't care enough. Well, keep us posted, Briar.

I want to hear how it goes. Good on your babes. Yeah, she's lovely. And Katrina, you met your partner in the mill, Kyle, in the traditional sense. I certainly did, but I was definitely on the dating at. at the time, but he was well below my age bracket when I thought I knew what I wanted. Wait, so you're in the supermarket, and then how does this play out? I say he's checking out the milk, and I'm checking out the bread, and he literally looked

at me and did a double take, looked back, and went, hello, and then we've been together for eight years. Wow. Oh, my God, Katrina, that's so hot. That's the dream where people say, how did you two meet? Normal people are talking about at work, and you get to go, he checked me out while I was buying bread. Can you inform us, like, other guys, how,

so, what does he do after that? Then what? So, I just invited him to a movie, and then that was it. Wait, he says hello, and you go, hey, want to go to the movies? You sound like five-year-olds that want to be best friends. Yeah. Yeah, no, there was conversation, and then, yeah, we just, yeah, I was, I was newly single, so I was like, why not, let's do it?

That's incredible. I mean, I wish I had that sort of game when I was in the dating world. Well, all you have to do is say hello. I know, but I couldn't do that. The guts to do that. I get it. It's a scary thing to do. It was instant.

You've got to say the hello, right? I'm sure. Does he do the, like, look you up and down, or do you just remain with eye contact the entire time? It was definitely like a double-take. Like, he had seen me before somewhere. He was like, I know, it was like, I know you. It was like an instant connection.

It was like, soul connections. Oh, I believe it, Kuchina. That makes me. I love how Clint's asking for advice. He's forgetting he's married again. No, it's mostly for producer Neeps. I see him writing it down, so I'm just asking more questions. I'm just taking notes, so anything is welcome Katrina.

Boyce guys are for the next one, line two. Okay, hold on a second. There we go. Good morning, Anonymous. Hello. Hello. So where are you at, baby? You on the apps, or what's happening? I'm on Tinder and Hinge, and honestly, it's really

dried up there. Like, there's just nothing going on. Whereabouts in the country are you though? Bay of plenty. Oh yeah, so it's not a small area but it's definitely probably hasn't got the pool of say like a Christchurch or in Auckland. Did it used to be better and you feel like everyone's

kind of ditch the apps and there's not many people left? Yeah, I think that's what's been going on. Yeah, believe it. I feel like the meat cuts are just so much more fun rather than, oh, they answer one of my hinge prompts. You know, it's like, the grocery store is great. We do need to get back to the creating a society where it is more acceptable. And I get it for so long, I think a lot of women maybe didn't feel safe.

So a lot of men pulled back. But we need to get back to, you can't recreate? You can't, like, manufacture a meat cute, though, can you? Unless you just go and reach for the same milk bottles as girls. You know, like just going to. This is going around, just trying to grab the somebody. He's got about 18 bottles in his car because he's grabbing them all too quick. It's all gone sour.

This car smells like off milk. That's actually a good trick. Go to the supermarket or a shop and just wait for people to come in and then just reach for the same thing as them. I wonder if anyone's tried that. Probably. Wait for hot girls to grab something and then you go, yep, you want the same thing. Yeah.

I imagine the supermarket puts a thing up if he photo, do not let this man in. I mean, if you're doing it that often, that the supermarket knows. I'd love to do something maybe another day on Love at First Site because I, like Katrina just said, when I looked at Adrian, I just knew before I've been spoken to him. Oh, that's my husband.

Yeah. And I'd love to hear other people have had that, because I think a lot of people do have that kind of magical. 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 in person,

that sounds horrible. She might be fungling. She could be a four or a six. I don't know. 10 out of 10. Clint, Megan, Dan. Lesh, go. Have you ever wondered when you get out of an Uber,

what percentage of what you just pay goes to the driver? Somebody who will know that is one of our absolute favorites. Oh, yeah. Yeah, morning. So I love, thank you for having me in. Oh, it's a joy to have you. I think this is the first time we've had you and properly, John. Well, it's lovely.

I just want to say, also, Dan and Ash, you know, the way you've arrived in the show, you know, it's lovely. And it's not easy to do, you know. So, go you fellas. Oh, thanks, John. Go, you fellas. It means a lot coming home. So, John, you're in to talk to us about Uber.

What is it that we need to know? The story, for me, is the fact that it's $14. So by the time they drive and pick you up, drive you to work. Yeah. So maybe that driver's worth eight or nine bucks for them. They've got to put a car on the road. And then they might potentially sit around for 15 or 20 minutes afterwards and get another job. So I've been talking to a lot of Uber drivers who don't earn minimum wage and don't even get close to it.

And so we now have about 11,000 Uber drivers. And so we now have a reasonably significant workforce who are regularly working for under minimum wage. They don't get holiday pay, they don't get sick pay, they have no protections. Uber says we are not an employer. You are just contract drivers. But I think the conversation we need to have is, do we want a workforce? routinely earning less of minimum wage with no protections whatsoever.

Yeah, because they can't unionise or anything. They've got no like commutal power, I would imagine. And the nature of an employee is you can do all that stuff. And then as the contract model starts to spread and spread and spread and more and more and more of us become contract workers, are more and more and more of us going to be earning less than minimum wage. And the thing about Uber is John as well is it's such a cool thing. Like on the face value, it's stressless, you go on a nap, they drive you.

I was talking to a guy the other day who drove, I live in Takapuna and I had to go to Spark Arena. Yeah. And he was telling me that he makes a loss every day, and he couldn't make ends meet. And the crazy thing is then people go, all right, well, you work more hours. A lot of these people, John, that you've been talking to are,

they're maxed out. That's right, 70 hours is the max. And you'll ask them, people are a bit cagey. So I'm not saying that in a judgmental term, but people don't really want to tell you. So you'll say to your Uber driver, how many hours are working, they'll say 40 or 50 hours a week,

that probably means they're doing 60 plus. Yes. And then they're exhausted. And then someone gets in and has a chunny. in their car on a Friday night because they've had a few too many Bacardi's or whatever and it's tough

and look Uber's fantastic I use it all the time as an incredible app but there is a workforce out there now who are doing it really really time that make it incredible they're the ones that make it good

100% so what's the answer I think we need to have a conversation about what we regard as minimum value of labour but the problem is Uber are going to say piss off you know so they lost in the employment court

four drivers took a case employment's a bit like a de facto relationship if you live with someone long enough that becomes in the nature of a marriage and law, employment's like that. If you stay long enough with somebody, 48 weeks a year, doing 50 hours a week, the employment court says, actually that you're an employee now. You're not a contract anymore.

Uber appealed that to the appeal court. They lost. It's now before the Supreme Court. But what the courts are saying is this is an employee-employer relationship. And so we need to prescribe a minimum value. But what that means for the people listening who use Uber is that essentially John Campbell, word that rhymes with Tanker, is saying you should probably be paying more for your Uber fares.

John Campbell investigates TVNZE Plus. get around it, and even some of the other stuff that you've done in the past as well, with Disney's Church and other stories that we are just... Speaking of not paying enough tax. Yeah. Nice, nice. She's got a lot.

And on that, we will get out. Thank you, John Campbell. Thank you for having me. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. It's Clint Meg and Dan, the things we love. There's little moments that you observe or that happen to you. Oh, my God, today's going to be a great day. and I think it's good to address them on a Monday.

Totally, because as he said before, the magic is in teaching your brain to look out for the magic moments. And once you start living a life where you're always looking out for moments of joy and gratitude, I swear to God, it makes you a generally a happy person. And living in the moment, I think, is key. Yes, absolutely.

That's one happened to me on the weekend. Building a pillow fort. Have so heaven. And going in it, like, George and I, he probably didn't even know it. He's only a year and a half. but like just playing inside the pillow fort after you've built it. Yeah, but then and Clint will absolutely understand

if they get to an age where they just want a pillow fort every day and you're like, you've ever seen another pillow fort. I don't think I could get sick of it. This one happened to me. Was it a birthday at a bar and they had some pokies? Okay, of course. Gambling or alcohol. I shook 20 bucks in.

Lost it pretty quick. My brother did the same. So he said, we just do a $40 blackjack hand. And then if we win, we'll break even. So we did a blackjack hand We lost So now we're 80 in the hole So we're like

Let's do an 80 old blackjack hand So we were 80 And then we're 160 in the hole It's quite a long moment Isn't it? And then Before we left He's like one more hand

And I was like go on 160 Boom Deal a bus And we are even We lost no money At 18 and Gabel Responsibly

Yeah yeah definitely Definitely You won't You won't really understand my one Oh sorry by the way Shout out to Jack I saw him in the pokey He said listen to us every morning

Oh no Jack When you get a blow wave and you step out of the salon into like the real world and you know that your hair just looks mint. Best feeling in the world. Everyone's looking at me because I'm so hot. And then you can't get it to do that ever again. Ever again. No way. When was the last time you had a blow wave a while ago?

About three weeks ago when I had a haircut actually. All right. You said that because my hair's curly or because my hair's ugly? Just curly. Okay, well, screw you. But it looks lovely still. Yeah, I know. Watching someone open a present that you've brought for them.

Oh, heaven. And they, and you know, like, as they're opening it, you know you nailed it. Yeah. And you're like, they're going to love this. Or when you've organised a secret surprise for someone and you're waiting for them to like have the surprise and then call you and be like, yeah.

And the excitement of like, oh, it's going to be any minute now. Yeah. So good. I love waking up in the middle of the night and then thinking you have to go to work and realizing you have three more hours. It's like midnight. You're like, oh, back to sleep. Or it's a Saturday night.

Oh, heaven. Heaven, heaven, heaven. And when it's cold and you run a bath and the first four or five seconds of just hopping into the bath and your body just goes under the water and it's like up to your shoulders and it's just like, oh. And then a minute after that, it's too hot.

But that first 30 seconds or so, heaven. Putting on undies fresh out of the dryer in a cold morning. That happened to me this morning. Sometimes I do it. I just take them off, put them in the dryer for a minute and take them out. Do you know I do that for my son every night? When he's in the bath, I put his pyjamas in the dryer.

And he goes, are they snugly, woggly? I don't think it meant it be long enough. I've heard of people putting their undies in the microwave. Yeah, the Simpsons. Marge Simpson did that for Bart and Lisa. I'm sure, like people were doing that. I've heard people do that. Don't know if it's good for your crotch.

No, I don't think so. What about when you're having a massage? This is very, like, hashtag, must be nice. But when you're having a massage, you go in there, and it's a big deal. And then they have that bed, like a nice massage, a spa or something. They have that bed, and sometimes it's heated. And they have the top towel pulled up. and they say,

cool, just take off your clothes and just get under the towel and put your head in that little whole thing and you're naked and you're climbing and you've just got undies on and the bed is... I've never done it naked. I said all undies on.

Yeah, but now that makes me think you've done one naked. I didn't even know that was an option. She's been to Golden Fingers again as you. No, hey, golden fingers is not. Some like hotel spas if you get a spotty scrub or something like that, it's just easier to go without undies on.

Anyway, you've railroaded in my moment. What I was going to say is it, and it's warm, like the bed is warmed, and you climb in there. And for me, I would pay money to just, don't. I've got no hands on the buttons. Don't do that. My hands are here. It's a day spa, like at the Soffertel or something. It's not.

I don't know they did those stories. You were getting sexual. That's a shame, eh, Clint? Well, I don't know if you should get any end of the story because some people are still in the car for school run. So, I'll fix it up. I'm saying it's nice to get into a heated. bed and you lie that I'm like this is as good as it gets for me I could pay just to lie

here for an hour in a warm bed peeling an orange in one go that's good that is a good one hey we think it's going to be a pick wow you're the best dad yeah yeah but nothing like a message at the sofa allegedly Simon's texted

What is it for you? I'm a student and I love when you have no exams or assignments left. Oh, when you do your last one and you walk out of that three-hour exam knowing that summer time. Four or five weeks of just bliss ahead. Is this going to happen for you this year, Zara, soon or is this memories of the past? Well, I'm actually steering at a presentation assignment that's due today. and then I have one exam this week, and then I'm done. Countdown.

Walking, like, out of the exam, hey, knowing you're just walking into three months off. Also, when you're at, like, I guess, primary school, going into high school and you get your school report at the end of the year, and it's good. Yeah. And you take it home to mum, knowing that it's good. Yeah. Oh, no, Justin, he's got a bit of a bit of, I was going to say,

humble brag. But you don't need to be humble about it, mate. What's the thing you love? No, no, no. It's, but it's definitely specific to myself, but celebrating 20 years with my beautiful. wife and best friend. I'm best friends.

20 years. Wow. What's the secret to 20 years of happiness? That's the best friend part. Like the thing that you just want to always be with them, do the things with them, that's who you want to be with. So nice. Or Justin, is she listening right now? Because you're going to get lucky tonight, I reckon.

I love it. And the stuff Justin must be doing now after 20 years. Yeah. Good on you, Justin. Can't you there on the radio? Someone's texted through when a car is weaving through the traffic to get through faster, you know, driving like a bit of a menace but then you get the green light and beat them through.

Oh, yes, I do love that. Or they're doing the overtaking when you're on a long road trip and then you see them down the road and they've been pulled over by a cop. Oh, that's my dream. When someone's driving erratically and speeding and then the cops get them. Oh, that is my dream. This one, having your team steal the win in the dying seconds when you're supporting, you're like, come on boys, come on.

And then, like, yeah, it's like 20 seconds to go and they score. in the corner and you know the game's over and you've just stolen it. I love that. One of the greatest. It's just no other small things, eh. I was going to also say, asking if they have this in your size, whether it's like a shirt or a pair of shoes, and they come back and they go, last one, and it's your size?

Even better when you then get to the counter, ding, ding, 30% off. Yeah. Or is that just a sales thing where they go, this is the last pair? And then so you think it's fate, so you're more likely to buy. When they're on sale and then you find out they're more on sale. Oh, double on sale. Oh, you haven't, yeah, Dan hasn't done that. Red dot 30% off sale, correct in his head.

Is there anything better than a red dot sale? It's happened. God bless you, farmers. Or getting a text from a mate out of the blue just saying how awesome you are and how much better their life is for having you in it. And then they go for Clint.

Do you want to go for a beer? Clint's like, yes. Clint's like, I'm already at the pump. I'm five years deep waiting for you. I was by myself. It'd be good to have someone here. I'll be here for eight hours. Just talking to the barman.
