Yeah, some have to, hey, keep the country going. Oh, good on you. Yeah, God bless my Kendi teachers, giving me a break while. I'm off work and I'm still sending Buddy to Kendi. I think our kids' school wraps on like the 11th or 12th. God, that's an early yet finish. Crazy, yeah. That's an early.

I thought when I was at school, it would be like the few days before Christmas. No, it's early now. Money gets to go every day except Christmas Day and New Year's Day and I'm sending him for the whole thing. Ash pretends she's not got kids until the last minute. Yeah, me and Adrian and I have like date days like every day.

Yeah, that's the dream. And my idea of a date day, just sit on the couch in silence with no one asking me to make Lego. Dan just put his index finger through a hole in his other hand and then like that... That's my idea of a date day. Sitting on the couch. Yeah.

All right, hey, we have our body armor, light, prize back in $500 cash to give away if you can suggest a rev-up track that is worthy to play to the rest of the nation. Texas, 3343. Come on Alex, day four today, babe. Alex is spamming us with different options. I like one of them, Thirsty Merck, Tommy and Krista. Oh, no, not that song. Thirstymer, take me back to the sweet times, the hot night, everything going to be young. I love Alex.

I think she'll be a good time at a party, but keep her away. from the Spotify playlist. What's Tommy and Krista? Oh, you'd know it when you hear it. Okay. During this song, can you play it for me, I think? You'll love it. All right, if you want to rival Alex, who has been unsuccessful all week

with suggesting a track that's been good enough to win over cash, get you... Now she's troubling, please. She's really taking shots on me. Texan 3343. What are you got? Shouldn't be hard to beat Alex. Snoopy's Christmas. God, that's a throwback.

What? Get out of it with that, Alex. If this podcast was a person It would be banned from family gatherings Oh piss off Uncle John This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast Here we go again We've got a body armolite

Rapid Hydration Prize pack to Live Life Loud And $500 cash If you can suggest the rev-up track That is good enough to play to the nation You're lucky I'm not in the running for this There's the money to be mine at this That is a good sign

Oh yes Who knew there's so many people awake at this time of the morning. I know, shame on you. If Alex on day forum suggestions were just, was smart, she'd probably change her guest. So I heard her suggestions on this on, wouldn't she? Joanna's first. We have got Alex on the line as well. Morning, Joanna.

Good morning. What's your suggestion? Hey, yeah, by Outcar. Yeah. Oh, really? Hey, yeah. My mum would be voting for you. I love that song.

Is it? mims, this is why I'm hot. This is why I'm hot. Okay, she's upgraded then. I mean, it's a great song. I don't know if it's good enough for this morning. I don't know if it's going to pump us up enough. Well, fourth morning, lucky.

She's woken up at 6 a.m. every day to call us, hoping to get the 500, Alex, Morena. Good morning, guys. I missed you. We missed you, babe. We've been waiting for this morning. Hey. What is your force?

I haven't slept all nine. Okay. Well, hopefully she's come up. with a great option. Okay, Tommy and Krista, thirsty Merck. Better, much better. Yeah, it's pretty good. It is a good song.

I just worry that it's not again. Pump up enough. But let's hold it up against the rest of the suggestions. I think Alex is winning. I think it's better than how you're outcast. Alex, you're currently a front run. Does that make you happy? I'm taking it.

Yeah, keep your shoes on. Don't take them off. You're still there. You're in the running. Okay. Let's go to Boston. Boston and Tauranga. Morning.

Good morning. How are you guys? One track is going to pump up the nation. Uptown fun. Don't believe me just watch. It's one of those songs that if someone tells you uptown fun here, Okay, and then you hear the song and you're like, oh, ho-ho-ho, ah.

Up-down, bunk you up. It's pretty good. It's between Tommy and Krista and this for me. There's one more suggestion. Do we take one more from Carleine? Imagine if she steals it from both of them. She's an edge fun, oh. Morning, my darling, Carle.

Stand out, call her, morning, darling. How about Bysoft American Farrow underwear? Oh, it's not what it's called. It's called she looks so perfect, but I know what you're going with about Carlane. Yes, the fact, we're coming is quite often. And I know it now. It's very good. It's very good.

Two Australian suggestions today. Another suggestion. Oh. Another suggestion. Alex is still on the line, but she's also managed to text in saying, Justice for Alex. She's really wanting this 500 bucks. But here's the other thing.

Alex has also texted nine other songs, which shows she's not really confident in the one choice. She's just doing a scatterer broke. At this point, she's just throwing shit at a wall and hoping it will stick. Come on, but we've got to just let her off the hook, don't we? I don't know. Oh, wait on, Caroline had something to say.

We just missed it. What was that, Caroline? I did go to five soft. You would say that, though, wouldn't you? I reckon we make Alex wait one more day It would be so funny if we made it wait another day But I don't want anything to do either because I'm nice So I'm just going to step back from the microphone

Well what song do you actually like that's being suggested Beyonce Tommy and Krista Savage was thrown out there as well Oh shit you can ask my movie like the gypsy Stop oh back it up now let me sing a hook sweet Oh I mean Clay you've got the hands on the buttons You make the executive decision

I vote that we make Alex wait one more day I don't think she's quite nailed it. She did text justice for Alex while she was on the air with us. And that's funny. I do have faith that Alex will get there by Friday. It's like we choose it. We've told her. We're going to give you the money, Alex.

At some point, no, we definitely will give it to her at some point this week. The question is when is she going to get it? No, the thing is we're definitely giving her a chance every day. Some people are only getting like one chance a week. I think she legit has to have the best song of the morning, though. And so far she hasn't done it. I'm so sorry, Alex. I think we're going to have to go with five sauce this morning.

Carlisau, you just want 500 bucks in a body arm of light. Hydration prize back. How bloody good. Thank you so much. How's bloody good indeed. Oh, here it is. And Alex, sorry another day, okay? How do you feel?

your name tattooed and arrow heart anyone ever thought of or gotten close to getting their partner's name tattooed on them no oh that's like i think i was going to get initials of the boys oh yeah your husband and son i think i might do that i'm not sure what you get ab and then b b just no i just get a and b oh yeah the thing is my actual initials middle and last name, the same as my daughter and my wife, not my sons, but I was like, so if anything ever happened, I could be like, that's just my initial. Cameron, Cameron, Clint, my middle name's John, wife's name's Jamie. So I get away with the CJ. I reckon now, because you know how your fat's a contentious issue within your family, your wife doesn't look like tattoos,

your mum doesn't. I reckon now you've got two big arm tattoos, your fair game. You can go full body now if you wanted. I want it to go neck. Yeah, I reckon you could get a neck tattoo now. David Beckham. Oh, wait, we don't all think David Beckham's gross. No, it's not gross. You just can't. You're not hard-go-off.

No, he's too much of a pussy. I'm not. I don't do that. Because you know what I'll do. You know what I don't love to prove a point? But you know, you already know he's a pussy when you know his personality. Like, looking at him at face value,

you go, oh, what a hard boy. You're the best, one of the best men I've ever known, but you can't pull off a necktack. Oh, hell of a pussy. It's too much projecting. Yeah. People will be like, oh, he's trying so hard to be hardcore. Oh, you watch that.

We watch this, when I get back and have a massive lotus flower on my throat. I do like that. But it was only good when you're like until your mid-40s and then it's a bit, oh. Unless you're in a gang, in which case it's cool forever. Not a lotus flower. You need it like a dragon eating a tiger or something on there. Dragon eating a tiger? Yeah, like that's more badass.

Do you know what my friend got and I think it's so romantic? His wife's name is Maria. So he has the letters to the word Maria in all different places around his body. It's like an M here, an A here, and R here and I. It's so sweet. Anyone else said, I swear, just me. That's a bit weird. I mean, I guess, but it's sort of like a word hunt, isn't it?

You go, where's the game? Has he got anything like down in that region? I'm not sure I didn't ask. Huh. Good news, guys, today, if you're a pet owner and you're renting a house, which is a lot of New Zealand, it now makes it easier for you to rent a house with a pet because there's new legislation that's come in place,

so you just pay a pet bond. Because I know a lot of landlords just wouldn't flatly deny you having a pet in a house. I don't understand, even though I've been a pet owner from all of my adult life, and I love pets, and it's hard. It's bad. The smell of dog never leaves a house once you've got carpet. If you walk in for an inspection, you'll smell that there's been a dog there. But you know what?

If you're a responsible pet owner and you have like a house that's got an outdoor area and you can keep the dog outside, I think there's no reason why you can't rent a house. True, if it's an outside dog, absolutely. And they would also put in cats and stuff, people that had a cat couldn't rent a house. So hopefully this is a good thing for, especially renters. like so, they're people's children. Yeah. And they're part of the family. And it makes it very hard when you want to find

someone to live. You're not going to like give up your child. Yeah, exactly. So I think there's largely good news as well if you're a renter. What's Prodice Aneep smiling about... Oh, Cal is so close to getting a little golden retriever puppy so I need everyone here to just convince him a wee bit more so that we can get

a flat dog because I'm so... I think when you're flashing it's a bad idea. Oh, cow's a very home person though and our hours work well because I finish at like 12.30, so I'll be a good dog owner. At his age, though, you're tying yourself down to get a dog. Glogatry has lasted for 15 years. I think it depends

on, because he's going to rely on the boys, because he's like, someone's always home. But the thing is, if you guys are like, well, it's not our responsibility. We're all going out to Rufus to Sol on Saturday, and poor little Rufus is stuck at home. It's cruel to the dog if you don't have a full, like someone at least home most of the day. Oh, no, see, I am. I walk that thing

every day. I'm a good runner. I'll take it out. I think for now, for the next two years, fine, but, you know, he's still a young man. You don't want to be one of those, like, dick bags that ends up adopting out an adult dog because their life's changed. Well, we did give, our dog went to live with nanny and poppy when we had buddy. Oh, okay. Because the dog hated the baby so much.

Off the hook, perfect. Yeah, you don't want to be one of those, like, really cool people that sometimes life gets busy and they have to adopt out. No, it wasn't busy. The dog literally did not cope with buddy. It was really bad. Oh, I like did a little nip, and then you go, right, you're the kid. Tried to bite the newborn.

because it was a greyhound anyway it was fine and then she started like shitting in the house and she was not coping rebelling against the fact that you took her off the track she was born to run no greyhound is born to race well why did God make them so fast

they're born to just lay about yeah they're quite lazy dogs aren't they 23 hours a day that dog would sleep like this yeah because it was running because it was running for most of life until it was race day and it was like give me 26 seconds baby 25 of them good

I'll chase a rabbit. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Normally I play first call of the day intro, but then I'm going to have to play another intro because our first call of the day is the first time, call her. For the first time in forever. Hello, stranger.

For the first time. She works at a wind farm in Gore. Morning, Charlotte. Good morning. Morning. What do you do at a wind farm? I am the site administration. for one of the contractors.

Oh, that's so cool. How busy is it like, if they're all turning and they're not broken, like, is there a lot to do each day that we don't know about? Or are going to be a pretty chill one this morning, I think? Currently, we are boarding it, so it's really, very busy. A lot of admin. It's so big, those big windmill things. From a far away, you think, oh, that's not big.

And then when you get up close to it, you're like, that is, they freak me out a bit. Correct me if I'm wrong, Charlotte, but there's more and more of them popping up around New Zealand, eh? That is correct. Wait, so once you finish one, you're straight on to building another one. Yes, so the projects are lined up,

and we're always open to new ones, and hopefully there will be more to come. Good. What is one cost to build from start to finish? Not too sure, but definitely a lot of money. Yeah, a lot of money. I'm a big fan of wind farms, big fan. Yes, much better than bloody nuclear.

and shit, stuff that. My dad was just trying to be funny. Yeah, and I know, and I was bringing it back to the environment and respecting Charlotte's job and the fact that we need renewable energy to carry us into the future for our children and our children's children's children and our children's children's children. Yeah, I think, you know, there's more wind farms we can get, the better.

So good on you, Charlotte. Two kids, 10 and 12. Are they treating you well at the moment, Charlotte? They're being good kids? They are. They really are. I think they just want Santa to be serious. I know. All kids are good.

It's smart. They're good in December. That last late push to try to get back on the good list. I was very close last night to calling Santa on my mobile phone. And what are your kids asking for from Santa this year, Charlotte? What's the big ticket items? Probably just a holiday to Thailand. You know, nothing big.

Yeah, yeah. Nothing big. That's bloody huge. I don't know Sandy did holidays. God, he's good. He does vouchers now. Oh, yeah. Flight centre vouchers.

Hey, thanks, Charlotte. We appreciate you calling us for the first time. Don't be a stranger. I know you're busy. But we'll send you a voucher to go spend in store at ZD on your way home. Sounds fantastic. Thank you so much. Appreciate you.

Zed has raspberry and rhubarb russia on the menu. Yeah, swing by and check out their range. I think we're doing Zed coffees today, are we? Oh, yes. It's a coffee shout day. You get our delivery. I mean, I usually get a single shot, I'm iced almond light, but today I think I want to match you.

Well, you better update the Excel spreadsheet, then ASA. I'll do it for you I'll do it for you I'll do it match we'll get a scandal update after he learns which we will get two and three then there's got a controversial one for you today

that diddy oh he diddy there's a new there's a new diddy movie coming out I heard he's getting out way earlier than everyone's thinking as well Dan was looking into that yeah good behaviour

as I thought based on what he did there was no good behaviour he's definitely on a naughty list Clint Meg and Dan Stinky B Gossip of Entertainment Glit me and Dan With Ash London

Scandal That's me, isn't it? Sorry Um Piddy Puff daddy Puffie So many names

A little time This week A new Netflix doco Is dropping Now it's not Like sometimes You know people are bad And they do a Netflix

Document to try and like Make themselves Look to get This is not that This is a look at The Downfall of Diddy And there's some Footage you know

That you'll hear At the start of this trail That I'm about to play Which is like a couple days before his arrest and he looks unhinged. Tegalison. We have to find somebody that'll work with us that has dealt in the dirtiest of dirty business. We're losing.

Puffy, puff daddy. Deadie. Sean Coles. All of these reincarnations. all those name changes are attached to really bad deeds everything in life you're going to have people that are bad

and people out of good you have to choose your side I think it was puff daddy first and he changed his name to P. Diddy I mean it's not... There's too many duff. It was Puff daddy and then he was puff and then he was pdiddy

you need to change your name and then just Diddy. He dropped a pee as well. He should have just changed it to like if he wants to change his whole thing. So 50 Cent is one of the creators of the show together with Netflix. It's called Sean Combs

The Reckoning. Four part dockey series. So it's not sanctioned by Diddy himself because he would want this all coming out would he? No. It's like everyone knows he's done it. Everyone knows he's a bad guy. It's no rehabilitating him. We've seen footage. He's a pig. And he's only

in prison for four years and it's now three because he had served a whole load of that prison sentence before the sentencing happened. Right. And then he could get out even earlier because of good behaviour. So he might only end up in prison for two years after all the bad crap he did. I don't know if you should get good behaviour, if your behaviour was the thing that got you in jail in the first place. Oh, you're being so good in prison.

Good on you. You were a POS outside of prison. Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think they should have any luck, no bail, nothing. I know, I agree. Like that, the men of power who exploited women, come on. All the lead up that happened with the court case leading up to a god he's going to get rins.

Like, I think there are different crimes where maybe good behaviour could be offered. Like, off the top of my head, let's say a dad, let's say somebody is bad to someone's daughter and the dad goes and tries to take the... Oh, hurt the guy that hurt his kid. Yeah, and tries to take the law to his own hands. That guy should never go to jail for one second.

Yeah. They should be in law. Someone hurts your kid, you get free reign. We're 12 hours alone with them in a room and we're not going to ask any questions. Yeah. No one's gone. We're not going to ask.

Okay. You know, it's kind of like people who have just been law abiding citizens and somebody's wrong, their family, and then they've just snapped. And in this moment of weakness, craziness, whatever, they've reacted in a way that maybe many of us would if we were also in that situation. Maybe there's good behavior that's offered for those people.

But people are doing what did you did. Mate, there's no good behavior. I just feel there should be like a, special law that's like, oh, that person hurt your kid, we're not going. Maybe you should get into Parliament, Ash, and pass the bills. It's a hard to be some worse politicians. All right, Scandal, thanks. Woolworths. We'll have entered the final countdown to the final countdown.

The name changes. It's almost happened around the entire country. If you spot one, let us know. Next, Clinton has been recording his wife behind the scenes without her knowing. No, I'd say that's illegal. Yeah. I'd say that's illegal. Sometimes she does catch me out and goes,

recording me because maybe I must talk different or she knows I'm trying to get something out of her and it's weird that I'm trying to you know get information out of her when we're just at home talking I don't think she's suspected anything unless Clint went to prison he'd get out for good behaviour a little kiss-house

He'd get out for flirting with all the prison guards He'd be like oh he's lovely Hey bab Clint Megan Dan Stinky Boo Yesterday on the show if you're listening around this time we were talking about the hypothetical situation going around the internet

How much money would you take to cheat on your partner? I haven't seen this going around the internet, have you, Ash? Because I think it's only on Clint's algorithm that the cheating's happening. Yeah, maybe. Well, we had a number. We all wrote it down on a piece of paper. If you missed it, I had half a million,

Dan had a mill and Ash had two mill. Yeah. Mine was our mortgage at a million dollars. I think anything over a million's like full life-changing. Fire and a Klinger, I mean, it's a lot of money, but I wouldn't cheat for that. Yeah, so it was... Come on. You can spend a long time making fun.

That's right, tax-free. You're right? Well, I decided to secretly record my wife last night to see what her number was. But then do I get to tell you afterwards and be like, but look, I got all this money? Well, that's up to her. Do you get to know who I have to do it? No, you just have to cheat, but you have to sleep with somebody. And then what if they're better than you?

And then I can't be like, well, you're the only one I've ever had. That's not happening. No. I don't think I could do it. No money. If you came to me and said, I got off a million dollars cheat on you and I took it, I didn't take it. I'd be like, are you crazy?

I'd cheat on you for a million. Well, I just hear and lies some of another one of our differences, my darling. Then I started pushing 100 million and she was like, no. And then I got really angry at her. She's like, why are you getting angry at me that I wouldn't cheat on? She's like, a hundred million? I was like, oh, I couldn't look at you. I couldn't look at you for not cheating.

I would be so furious at Adrian. if he knocked back a hundred million. Any time there was a bill, like unexpicked a bill and you were trying to pay it, you'd just be like, if you'd just done the thing, we wouldn't have to worry about any of this. Knowing Jamie, she loves money, she would be so happy after she'd forget about the cheating

after the 100 million goes into the account. She said, not, not even for 100 mil, so that's how much, I guess that just shows how much more my wife loves me than you love your partners. No, it's just a different relationship with sex. It's totally different. Or she's really, really smart, and she already is cheating on you.

That's what I, do you know what? to throw you off the set. I even started saying that as well. I was like, the fact that you're making it sound like you never, never, never, never would. Makes me now think maybe you definitely, definitely have.

Or she's hedging her bets for the future. You know what? She's not a makeup artist. She's just always out on dates. The makeup artistry's just a guy's. Just washing those brushes every night for no reason. Bree, I'm going to start checking to save that dirty now. Now, Bree, you did this with your partner,

your husband actually. Yeah. And what did he? What was the figure you threw out? What was the figure he threw out? Well, I did our mortgage because I was like, well, that's life-changing. Any money we make is now ours. And so $750,000.

And he needed $400 million. Oh, gosh. But like, wouldn't you go more than just your mortgage? $400 million is ridiculous, though. Like, what, $390 million? No. 395 million, no. $400 million? Yes.

But you go more than just the mortgage, because you want a little bit of money to play with. Well, that's what he said. He's like, what, there's no spending money? And then we had a fight about it, and it didn't end well. And now he's left. See, Bree and I are kindred spirits, I think. And your husband and my wife, weirdly. You have a difference of 399 million.

And we all joke about it. But I genuinely think of a push came to shove and someone held some money in front of me and said cheat on Hannah. I couldn't do it. Are you on drugs? I seriously couldn't do it. Wow, okay.

Because the conscious... I love that we're all so different. It would eat me alive. I just don't think of, and even though I haven't done it many times, because my religious upbringing, I don't, how do I say this in a way? That's... Does it sound cheety? No, I just don't.

I would never cheat on Adrian because I love him more than air. But I don't, I think sometimes we make too much of a thing out of a physical act that in many times can mean nothing. Sometimes it can mean a lot. Sometimes it can mean nothing. but that's everyone's everyone has a different view of it and everyone is right

so your view of the act is different to my view and you're right and I'm right and that's okay so it makes sense that people vary so differently about this I just don't want Hannah to see the other side of the coin of someone that Ken is really good at it you know and you guys have so healthy in your approach to it

and I think no one is better it's never better than doing it with the person you love and I don't think finding someone with a million dollars Dan would actually be harder than actually finding someone that wants to sleep with you. That's really fine.

That is actually true. And also, it was a very convoluted. You've got to set it quick at Clinton. Yeah, but part of me was feeling bad about it before I even said it, so I sort of cocked it up a little, and now I'm fine. You're still talking, brother? Yeah.

I think you'd be a great lady. That's Ash? You didn't even get his name. You called him Dave. Don't do that face when you say it. You called him day, and they went, I mean, dang, because your brain wouldn't even leave you say the word. Well, you'd be a crap mate, too.

Clint, Megan Dan. Are you been struggling to fall asleep lately? Weather around the country this week as well. 33 degrees is supposed to hit in parts of New Zealand. Napier Christchurch and Hastings. Also, last week it was the hottest day on record in November in Auckland for like 60 years. Yeah. My house is the back of it is glass and there's no like shade.

And after 2pm every day, it's like I feel like a cockroach under a magnifying glass. Yeah, it can get really, really hot Especially if you don't have air conditioning Inside the house Which we don't. You're unrelatable It'd be nice to have the whole back of your house Just glass

The glass house Well, if you are getting really hot at night And you can't sleep like me Yeah There is some things you can do And one of the best things According to a sleep expert Dr Karen O'Keefe

Can I guess what it is I think I'm ready Yes to have a hot shower Have a hot shower Isn't that so weird Before bed Yeah so I always go Oh I'm going to have a cool shower

Before I go to bed So it cools down my body bad thing to do because then the core of your body thinks you're cold and it heats you up. The best thing to do before you go to bed to keep yourself cool at night is to have a warm or hot shower. And then your body

brings the temp down. Yeah, it tricks your body core into thinking that you are, in fact, warm and so it cools down your core. Isn't that interesting? Do you know why I hate it? Because I need to have things touching me. I need to have a blanket or a sheet on me. So when it's really hot, I can't not have

anything on me because I'm like, I need to be I need to say on me, but there's too hot. Yeah. Oh, I love nothing more. This is the scenario I love. It's hot outside. You open the window, but you've got a fly screen because mozzies. And there's a cool, like, not even a cool,

just a breeze coming through the room. Oh, you're speaking to me, sister. And you just feel all night, you're lying there, you're warm, but there's a cool breeze. Oh, there's nothing better. Yeah. Yesterday I had a little quick snooze before, like, when I got home because I was really tired,

and I opened the door of my room, put a fan on. No sheets just falling out. it on the bed and you can just feel the breeze just gusting over my genitals and it was just a lovely moment. Why did you have to say genitals? I don't know. You could have just said my body.

No, but it's that part of the body that feels really lovely. Just having the breeze. Is that part of the body of my man get quite hot? It does. It's the hottest part of the body. I know people that get pet cooling blankets and they lay on those.

Yeah. You can get actually really, they're really expensive but like cooling mattress topper that you put on your beard. You're unrelatable. No, mate, it's too expensive round this time of you. Or you can just get air conditioning in your room.

It's up to me, especially as a woman. in this world. Preezy card, one gift card, endless possibilities, make Christmas easy with Precii card. We're talking about celebrity tippers yesterday and some of the best and the worst, off the back of Prince William

tipping 25 pounds at a pub he went to over the weekend. Which is actually, I think is fine. Like 25 pounds tip on top of a bed. People have only heard he tipped 25 pounds, but they don't realize he was probably only spending eight. Yeah. But that is a fraction of some of the best celebrity tippers. I've got a list here of,

and it's being put together by servers mostly in L.A. Great. Oh, that has so many celebrities coming through. Yeah, celebrities constantly coming

into their establishments and the tip is some of the best ones. Donnie Wahlberg who is, I'm guessing, Mark Wahlberg's brother. Yes. What's he done?

He's an actor as well. He's done some stuff. He's a real serious actor, eh? Yeah. Apparently he's well known in L.A. circles for tipping.

He once gave $2,200 as a tip at a restaurant and it was half the bill. Like double the bill, sorry. And Donny Bobberg of course was in your kids on the block. Yeah. Taylor Swift, obviously famous for tipping. She quite often goes through drive-thrus

and just buys people, everybody behind her, their meal. Also, she spent $197 million on the airers to a crew. The truck drivers just gave them bonuses. Yeah, everyone was worth of that tour. She gave hundreds of thousands of dollars. And do you know, people are so mean to Taylor that when she did that, they were like, oh, that's his a tax break. And it's like, yeah, well, she didn't have to do it.

Of course! She can't win that, yeah. She can't win, yeah. frequently gives $1,000 tips when he goes out for dinner. Sometimes he's even given $4,000 and he simply just states to the people, I just like to make people smile.

Isn't that lovely, Jerry? He doesn't want to make his kids smile because I've heard them get really up in arms about the fact that he doesn't give them any money and he's like, yeah, because I'm rich. Yeah, I agree. You're just going to raise, like, not many kids who are born with the knowledge

they're going to inherit a lot of money do much with their lives. Yeah. It makes perfect sense. Because you've just got this giant net underneath you regardless of whatever you do. I would like, I'd say you're not getting a sad. you're not getting a cent, you're not getting a cent.

And then when I die, I actually leave them the money. Which is probably what the kids are receiving. That's so true. Yeah. Okay, dad, okay, man. I'll go get a job, daddy. I'm off to my job now, wink. Other notable mentions were David Beckham,

$1,000 tips here and there. Drew Barrymore apparently leaves great tips. And Harry Stiles. Oh, yeah. Very well known in LA circles for tipping. Hmm. I guess it's just expected in America, right? Absolutely.

Those American celebs especially be the ones to look out for if you're ever walking hospo and you see them walk through the door. It's more meaningful in New Zealand when you get a tip though. I'd imagine. I always tip and I get into trouble sometimes when I go out with friends and I'm good at math so I always do the four ways and I'll always put a hefty tip on, especially if it's a group and sometimes people are like...

And then split it. So if it's like $300 for dinner, I'll say, well let's make it $350 and then split it four ways. And sometimes people are like, why am I paying an extra $12.50? I'll just do it. I'll just tip. The tight asses, eh, within the group. There's always one. Oh, yeah, but I've worked in hospo as a waitress and you get paid nothing and it's nice to get a tip.

If you work in hospital or we've worked in hospo, give us a call, 0-800-the-edge. The best tip you ever got. Yeah. How much was it? Who gave it to you? Was it a celebrity or was it just a normie? What is the biggest tip you've ever received? The trolls are coming in, too, by the way, Daniel? I know. I mean, look, as I said before, if it's a celebrity tipper, great, but we'll just take huge tips.

Now, as Texan said, I met this guy on the gold cross called Kyle. His tip was excellent. That's enough of that, thank you. Come on. No, silly buggers. No, please. I've got a feeling that might have been a Carl's special trolling, Clinton. He's a burner phone. Nah. Now, Hannah, are you going to be serious this

morning or being a little bit silly? No, 100% serious. Good. Okay, what was the tip that you received and where were you working at the time? So it was 600 US dollars Which I think worked out Maybe just under

A grand New Zealand Yeah Good money And I was working in a really Boogie resort in the US It's so bougie And so the table Their end bill

Only worked out to be about 3,400 And the head of the table was just like, oh, I'll just make it 4,000. Oh, proud of that. Now, did you get all of that money, or did your boss take a cut? That's the thing. So I was in a really large restaurant in the resort,

and there were a lot of other servers that all got split again. So we only got a portion of that. You win some lose some, I suppose, eh? Because you either split it, so you're also getting anyone else's tips, or you just do your own individual thing, which, you know, you run that risk. That's where you want to work, hey, with rich people. Because quite often they'll be giving tips. But then often they treat you like crap.

Our producer knows someone that works on super yachts, and apparently he was tipped $10,000 after a seven-day trip. You know that's what happens. So the charter guests leave, and then the captain comes and says, this is how much tip they've left. And it's often like $5,000, $7,000 each. That's how they make most of their money.

International water is no tax. Oh, cash in an envelope, my dream. Now, Jane, you were tipped huge. money. Oh, hi there. Yeah, hi, Jay. Well, it wasn't actually me. It was my dad.

My dad's a helicopter pilot. And, oh, about 30 years ago, I think he was he flew the Hilton family around New Zealand. Oh, Paris. And they pimped him $5,000. Oh, wow. I did get some of it because my dad always gave it to the admin staff who were on, because he owns the company. And so he would always give us our tax.

and I was just happened to be working but I didn't want to take all of it so he gave me half That's so generous And $5,000 back then would have been huge money Oh, I know I know And I just put it on my bank

I was only like 15 Oh my gosh Wow If I was then I wouldn't do that 15 And now do we go to Janice Because I feel like Janice You didn't get a tip But what was the best tip you were received

The best tip I ever got Was get a bit of different job Okay There we go We weren't getting much tips on the old one, obviously. What are you doing now, Jade? Jana, sorry. What am I doing now? I'm living life on a boat, mate.

It's just so beautiful. Oh, how good. She did get a better job. I was going to say, do you ever get a chance to go to the movies? Me? Yeah. Okay, cool. We'll send you a double pass to our musty movie.

Five nights at Freddy's 2 following 2003 smash hit horror film of the year. A new and terrifying nightmare begins at Freddie Bass Bears pizza All we ask is you leave a tip to the person that gives you the popcorn Pay it forward

Yeah Yeah hard out I'll tell him to get a better job too Don't do that That might come across quite mean Condescending Yeah yeah don't do that Alright thanks Janice

Hey coming up next We're going to catch up with Amy You may have missed yesterday on the show We were talking to Sarah Who runs the Christmas Joy Store And has for the last 12 years They have 240 families going through their joy store every day for the next month.

For families that have kids where they are struggling to afford to buy them Christmas presents and put food on the table on Christmas Day, $20 will give a kid three presents under the tree. That's what your money will do if you donate. Yeah, big companies subsidise it. So they say, yeah, we'll give you like toys at wholesale, whatever it is. So we get more bang for our buck. So on Thursday, we're going to try and get as many kids off the wait list as possible. And in the lead up to Thursday, we're going to talk to Amy next,

who is a mum of four kids who has been through the Christmas Joy Store for the very first time this year and is going to tell us about her experience firsthand. I mean, even if we can save 10 kids from having Christmas this year, that's a win. Clint, Megan Dan. Thursday morning we are going to try and get as many kids off the waiting list

to be able to enter the Christmas Joy Store, which is something the kindness collector of a charity put on to allow parents the opportunity to go in and select presents and food for Christmas. and they don't have to pay a cent because of the generosity of others that allow this incredible joy store to pop up every year

and service thousands of kids and families around New Zealand. We usually do it every caller wins, don't be with this week, every caller gives. Yeah, we'd love it if you're in the position to do so, to give and try to take as many kids off the wait list as possible.

Yeah, we're going to do it on Thursday. So have a thing, even if it's just five bucks, have you think about what you might be able to afford. Yeah, and we have Amy, who was a fake name, got her own voices, guys, for your privacy. I aim to tell us about what it's like going through the Joy Store because you have been through for the very first time this year. Tell us about it.

So I was nominated to be a shopper at the Joy Store for my four children. I've been from one of my kids' schools. Just because this year has been a really tough year, I had a few changes in my situation that were unexpected. Up until this year, I've always worked full-time. And in March this year, I had to resign for my position because one of my children was diagnosed with some really complex medical needs. And unfortunately, in situations like that, things like Christmas presents and extracurricular things were the first thing to go out the window. Of course.

This sort of thing can happen to anyone, right? Did you ever foresee this kind of thing happening? Absolutely not. And that's one of my biggest life lessons in the past year and a half is that everybody is really just one accident or... one life change away from everything being up in the air. I've raised my children to know about giving back. So every year we've always given back at Christmas time as well. And to be on the other foot and needing to be able to receive that,

support has been humbling. But just also incredibly grateful that the support's out there and seeing how people are so generous and companies have been so generous to make something like the Joy Store, I could never even imagine that there was a thing like, Joy Store. Yeah, it's amazing. Have you actually been in the Joy Store and selected your gifts for your kids this year? Yeah, so I've been

in this year and what an amazing experience. It's just from fantastic, eh? It's so well organized and just there's no judgment, there's just so much support throughout the whole process. Like, it's nerve-wracking and it's embarrassing. You know, you're just quite

vulnerable. What's the difference from, I guess, that sort of feeling when you're lining up or when you first arrive and park your car versus when you step inside the joy store, how does it change? It's like a wonderland. Like, it's just so you walk inside and there's a red carpet and there's fairy lights everywhere and Christmas trees and it's just so magical.

And it's just, there was people crying in there. People just really anxious and needing one-on-one shopper support and that was all offered. There were volunteers and staff everywhere. You never had to worry about anything. The other thing that I thought was really cool was that there's a whole social supermarket there. So not only are we able

to provide presents for our children now that actually get Christmas treats for like food items as well that are just way out of the budget when you're trying to make ends meet. Calm is real. We get what we give. And you said that you have a value of your family was to be generous and to teach them what Christmas

means. And I honestly believe that the universe rewards people who sow those seeds. This is a testament to your own incredible abilities as a mum and sewing those seeds of generosity within your family. So you deserve it. And we love you and we're so happy that you were able to have a great Christmas. But most importantly, we just want to let you know we are all cheering you on and your family on.

And we pray health and safety for all of you into the New Year, though. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Thanks, Tammy. Even getting text through now saying, what a strong lady. Massive respect for her for accepting the help. And a great initiative. If you do want to give early, you can just text work.

give to 3-3-4-3, it'll bounce you back the link. But on Thursday, we're going to try and get as many kids off the wait list as possible this year because even though they're helping so many, obviously the need is always going to be greater. And as we said before, 20 bucks gets a kid three gifts, right? Yeah, so if you've only got five bucks, well, if four people, you can give five bucks, that's one kid whose Christmas goes from pretty sad, pretty awesome. Which is epic. That's awesome. So cool.

Yeah. All right, look forward to that on Thursday. It's going to be epic. The Aussie Prime Minister, Anthony Albanyi, says that is a name. Albinese, we call him Albo Anthony Albanyese It's Albao It's kind of fun to say that Elebese, he had a secret wedding I know, yeah

We've got the Goss next Clint Meg and Dan You could score 250 bucks cash anywhere Anytime when you hear a Coolish song It's a song that'll just be playing And then it'll freeze over And you'd be like, what the heck is that? Call us because thanks to Coolish

The soft serve in a pouch Super popular in Japan and they are now in supermarket freezes throughout New Zealand, you could be scoring yourself some cash. Australian Prime Minister, Ash, you're the boss of Australia. Yeah, Anthony Albanesey, he won the last, his labour, won the last election in an absolute bloodbath. Yeah, he's just had a secret wedding over the weekend to his new wife, Georgie Hayden, Jodie Hayden.

Jody, yeah, Jodes. So this is a second marriage. Yeah, so in 2019, I believe it is, his wife surprised him and said, nah, I think I'd like a divorce. He was blindsided. Then he got into a car accident. He was in his electorate and a drunk teenager was driving a rangerover on the wrong side of the road. Oh, my goodness, me.

And Albu reckons he was on the road in his car and, you know, Camry or whatever it is, I'm about to die. And he's like, I actually believed I was about to die. And it was so calm. And I just, and he was okay. I made it through. And then it was like, my wife left me. I've had a car accident. He's like, I've got to do something.

And he, like, got really healthy, got fit, lost 20 kilos, like, got exercising. met a new woman, became the Prime Minister. Well, good on to me. He had a secret wedding, mainly for security reasons because you didn't want, obviously, all the hang-ons and the paparazzi taking photos. They just did it over the weekend. Everybody kept a secret that was going to the wedding.

Even one of my best friends kept a secret. Yeah. In the girls' chat, she works for the Prime Minister, for the Labour Party. And she goes, I've got a garden party today, girls. Can you help me choose the outfit? I'm like, oh, dear Mike, we don't care about where do you garden? I'm like, yeah.

So she's sending all the photo, which bag, which bag, She cared so much, and we finally said, yep, the lavender bag with the purple dress and the leopard print shoes, great. And then like three hours later, we're on News.com, and it's like, Elmo's wedding there in the background in that purple dress. I was like, you get any dog with a leopard shoes. I'd love to have a secret wedding. It'd be quite cool. It's just a real, like, maybe it's a surprise type situation. Like you invite people over, you hear of these happening, eh, where it's like just a party.

And then you end up getting married there and it's a surprise to it. I heard that. You thought it was like an engagement party. We all showed up and then all of a sudden it was like the wedding kind of just started. I'd be stoked because that's that great on-less event I have to go to. Oh, it's so crudgy. He's like childcare, get another present, get another album, wow, wow, wow. Anthony Albanyzzi, this is kind of embarrassing for him,

but he obviously did some speech and he's gone and copied it from a movie, from a Michael Douglas film, and somebody's found his speech and then gone and spliced it with the movie to show that he's absolutely ripped it off. Let's say, well, hold on. Australia, we have serious challenges to solve and we need serious people to solve them. We have serious problems to solve

and we need serious people to solve them. Unfortunately, Tony Abbott is not the least bit interested in fixing anything. Bob Rumson is not the least bit interested in solving it. He's only interested in two things. He is interested in two things. Making Australians afraid of it. Making you afraid of it.

And telling them who's to blame for it. And telling you who. a blame for it. Oh, I reckon he's been stitched up by one of his speechwriters just phoning it in that day. One million per cent. Do you reckon he's gone and stolen his vows as well?

Hey, you stole your vows as well, Cliff. I would do that. I would lose it would do that. I didn't steal my vows. I stole my proposal speech from an Ashton Coocham movie. Oh, that makes it okay. All people, Ashton Kutja.

If you'd said like, you know, Harrison Ford or some, you know, Omar Sharif or some, you know, like... No, and just married, when he's at the gate and he's trying to win back, Britney Murphy's character. It's beautiful. I know the scene.

It's beautiful. It's still Ashton Kutcher. By the way, that's something we need to discuss on this show maybe another time. Mia Lekunas and Ashton Kutcher, haven't they just dropped off the face of the planet? Ever since they wrote a character reference for the guy from that 70s show who got done for RAP? They're lying low, baby. Line low. I reckon they've stuffed that.

But though, I want to know this morning I went under the edge text 33343. Why was the wedding a secret? Did you go to a secret wedding? Oh, yeah. Was it like for sinister reasons, like they were keeping it from the rest of their? family or maybe it was just a surprise wedding. My cousin, who's not supposed to go? Carry on. Did you not want me to tell my story?

No, I just accidentally double tap. My cousin always told me she was going to have a really small wedding and that would just be me and Adrian and her parents and his parents. And then she got married and didn't invite me. And then she invited her other cousin. And then her mom put it in the group chat that she got married. And I was like, I'll never forgive her for it. Family scandal.

It always happens in a wedding. I'll never get over it. I can say it now because she lives in Australia. Is the wedding a secret? Oh, 800 the Edge. We're talking secret weddings after Anthony Albany's EPM of Australia ended up having a second marriage. Oh, hush, hush.

Fair enough, too. And I'm sure that if you were lucky enough to get an invitation, you knew better than to tell a single soul, as is reflected by my best friend going and not telling us until afterwards. Also, the paparites who got a real ugly photo of it, I'd be so different. So, Lana's called through on 800 of the Edge. We're wanting to find out if you've been to 12. a secret wedding or a surprise wedding and Lana yours was kind of both yes both what happened

um well we've been together for 10 years two kids try to plan the wedding never happened and then i just there was about a week before christmas i was like what if i just get married so i rung our celebrant that i had booked in for months later and he said yeah let's do it um So I went ahead, planned it all. So we woke up. No one knew apart from me, and we still did the proper Christmas with the kids. Then went off to my dad for Christmas, and then I gave my husband to be his gift, saying, hey, we're getting married in 30 minutes.

Oh, and he was like this creepers. So then did the celebrate come to a house? Where did you get married? We got married in a nice park, not far from my dad's place. Was he, like, stoked about it, or was he like, oh, oh, one of these people that loves to have everything organized and? Nah, he was stoked, you know. We're so happy the way we did it. That's so nice.

I imagine most guys would be like, oh, I don't have to organise anything. It's just happening. I don't, yeah, I wouldn't suggest guys surprising their bride with a new, with a wedding. I don't think that would go down the same way. Hey, Lina, we're going to send you a fragrance, thanks to Bargain Chemist. It's one of our must-haves this week. Yeah, no worries. Free delivery, too, when you buy any fragrance online, a bargain chemist until the end of the month.

The A-List and List, what celebrities deserve to sit at the top and look down on everybody us and which ones do not? Now, let's just, we're all friends here. we love each other Now I've chosen a genre today that is probably one of your favourite genres if anything down I'm not talking about

F1 I'm talking about divas of song Oh female singers Yes now Celine's not in there because she's An A all day and if anyone ever said she was a B-lister we'd have to permanently ban it from here. Everybody knows she's a definition of a household name

If someone said they're not they'd have to go to their car and rip out the radio so they could never listen to this show again. Some would argue that's too far, but I agree with you. Okay, so there's three names we are going to be discussing today. Who is an A-Lister from the following? Mariah Carey. Now,

we don't need your thoughts yet, darling. We've got to announce the names first. So just hold it. Next up, share. You don't need to get the grab. I just did her. Okay. It's like she is in the room with us, Clint.

I'm so good at that. Mariah Carey, Cher, and another person that just needs one name. Pink. Great. The interesting thing here is that you say their first names and you know who exactly they are. Mariah, exactly, Cher, pink. I'm going to go out and say it. I think for the first times in the history of this game.

I'm giving three A's. What? Yeah. I'm going to have to disagree with you, Daniel. Really? I think Pink is a B-lister. Whoa. Okay, I was literally just thinking,

because we'll throw it over to you if there's disagreement amongst the ranks here. And I was like, I'm with Dan. I think Mariah Carey's an A-lister for what she's done in music. Share the same. And then Pink, like, one of the greatest performers of all time.

I agree with you. And I think only holds record second to Taylor Swift if you look at music and... That's in Australia and New Zealand. Pink is very, very, very big here. She's not the level. I tend

to agree with you a little bit there, Ash, but I think even Americans would have heard of Pink. What about all the Europeans or the Asians? You know, we say anywhere in the world you have to tell people. In fact, she had the highest salad grossing tour. Two of the highest-grossing tours of the last decade.

Again, in Australia and New Zealand. Pink has sold over 135 million records worldwide, making her one of the world's best-selling music artists. Pink is the most played female solo artist in the UK. Okay, everyone's getting very angry at me on the text. I mean, people are saying pink is the only A out of the three of them, to be honest, I think they're all A's. How can you say pink is not an A?

They've then sworn. Okay, sorry, guys. I think this is the first time we've got three A's. Okay. You can't put any of them at me. Is that just the end of it? I wanted to come up with another artist then. What about...

Well, you still want to argue, Pink? No, because everyone's angry at me. Well, it's all right. That's how I feel most weeks actually. People are allowed to be angry at you, just because Dan and I are getting along this week. Yeah, just because Clinton and I have become little friends. Okay, everyone's going to get up on me on the text lines.

If they were, people saying pink's the only A, are they trying to say Mariah Carey and Cher, B's. To be honest, there's a couple. the people that have come through and said that Mariah's a B. What? I don't know if they're meaning like a B is and she's a bit of a bit. Mariah Carey's more famous than Pink. No, she can't be a B.

She can't be a B. Okay, are we correct in putting them all at A's or is Ash right? And Pink doesn't have changed her mind now because I don't want people to get angry at me. They're all A's. I've stuffed that. I've chosen three A listers. Sorry, guys. All right, debating the A-list status of Mariah Care and Pink.

Even though Dan and I, we are like all three A-listers, there have been some people that have swayed our decision. Nathan is saying Mariah Carey is only an A-lister because we have thrown her in the mix in December. No, Mariah is well-known musically, yes, because of Christmas songs as well. But she's still famous. I think you could go anywhere in the world and people would know who Mariah is.

Likewise with Cher. Especially people at our age, because in the 90s and early 2000, she was like the queen of R&B and pop. I mean, even if you mentioned to a Gen Z or even a Gen Z, what's the new generation now, the really younger, Gen Alpha. Is that what they're called? My kids, yeah, Gen Alpha. If you said the word Cher or Mariah, they'd both, that all go, oh, she's a singer.

They would have heard. What's Cher done lately? We've all seen her in the Uber Eats ads. Yeah, she's doing stuff. Yeah. Have you seen her boyfriend? Yeah. He is a fan.

He's like 28 or something, eh? Yeah, yeah. She's in the 70s. Get a girl. Nikki, you did swear on your text, but don't swear on the radio, but you're sticking up for pink. Yeah, absolutely. I don't know how anybody can say she's not an A-lister.

She's absolutely an A-lister. Yeah, my point, Nikki was, because I agree with you, in Australia and New Zealand, she is as A as they come. But I don't think in America, she's not the level. Yeah. And, you know, if you come for the pink fans, they're going to come to you. Yeah, you lived in America for a while, didn't you, Nicky? No.

Neither. Well, that's not helping your argument, babe. I was trying to help you there. Just lie, babe. Now, Sam, you're saying we all put Cher at an A. You're all saying she's a B. Yeah, I think she's a B. Like, if you, if I ask my kids who she was,

then she's thorough in their teenage years. They'd have no idea. Really? Do you think they would go, they would at least go, she's a singer? I feel like everybody would have heard of her. Maybe. Yeah.

Maybe. Then it's so funny. I just think the younger age group we have no idea who she really is. So funny because she, while we're talking to her, text just came through, who said she is the only A-lister,

all the others are Bs. I mean, I think when we take into account all the texts, all the feedback we've got, I think for the first time ever, the resounding is if it's A through all three of them. We've got three A's for the first time ever. Three A-listers. Do you think, yes?

I mean, the only point of contention for me was pink and the overwhelming feedback from the people has been that pink is an A list of a middle-aged women. Well, yeah, guilty, guilty person that's just texted through. Just asked my 14 and 11-year-old, never heard of Shear. Wow, you're going to go to educate your kids. Oh, now people say pink is not, pink is B. Now that we've said everyone's, everyone agrees that pink is A, everyone's texting through, like, nope.

And Sam's share Mariah used to be A, is now that B. In my mind, once you're in A, you've got A-list status for life. But I think some people disagree with that, and you can fall in and out of the A-list. The one that's both got the most B's, though. Yes, Pink is I think she's still in A with what the feedback we've got. The most bees is sheer. A lot of bees coming through for her now. She's just so iconic, though, with her fishnets and her high-cut leotard.

It's the younger people leading them down. Uguerite tats. Yeah. Yeah, we're just the one-air. If I can fly away. Yeah, maybe. Maybe if we've got to bump anyone, it's like, Shear, sorry, your name's not on the list.

If it stops Ash singing her, then, uh... I'm maybe to put her in a seat. Hey, concert announcement, next. It's a good one. Yeah, it's a good end. We got your first double pass. You can get your hands on next. Shear, coming to New Zealand.

That should be there for her. It's just too old to fly now, I think. Hey, hey, yeah, yeah. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. We've got the first double pass at Mumford and Sons. Have you missed it? Just announced they are going to be coming to New Zealand, May 2nd, playing Auckland Spark Arena.

Caitlin, you're going, babe. You'll be there for free. Oh, that is so awesome. Thank you so much. You're very welcome. First double pass in the country is all yours. Enjoy the gig, darling. Thank you.

Oh, thank you so much, guys. Well deserved. I remember the first Mumford and Sun's gig I went to. I remember just looking around and seeing so many, like, white, in their 20s, their arms around each other just jumping up and down. Lots of man buns would be there, I reckon. Lots of man buns. I grab all the ticketing and event details

at the edge.rover. Dot, nzia, but pre-sales 10 a.m. Thursday and then general public tickets go and sale 10 a.m. Friday. Genzy quiz, we play with our web girl Bella as we try to educate her on things that happened outside of her generation. If you're a millennial, should smash this. She is not, so she always struggles. Morning, but... Hi guys, how's it going?

Good news. If you've recovered from the Christmas party. No, no, no yet. I'm still the time. Thursday? I will never forget you, poor thing, coming in at 8am on a couple of hours. They're grey around the gills and having to film us, blow, pop my 150 balloons under our arms. Bella got kicked out of the Christmas party. Oh, guys, on here, don't.

Nauty, naughty. Dressed as a monkey. The cutest drunk monkey you ever see. Let's do this. Here's your first question. You need five to end the game. Great. Name the lead singer of this band.

What's the band, first of all? You must know the band. I don't want to say Green Day again. So don't. No, I won't. Cool. I'll tell you their first name. Oh, so far it, that's right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And his first name is quite a common name. It's as the dip. Oh, I was going to say, no, I'm going to say what I was going to say. Um, and I would say that the style of music is like rock and roll, isn't it? Roll. I was going to say Kirk Cobain, but it's not. Oh, I don't know.

Dave Grohl. It sounds familiar. But, okay, here's one for you. What is the connection between Dave Grohl and Kurt Cobain? Big connection. They're both lead singers and bands? Yes, but Dave Grohl was more... He was the drummer in Nirvana, which is Kurt Cobain.

Okay. She's a. You'll get this one. Okay, okay. What movie is this music from? Shut up. Oh. You don't know this.

Titanic. Yes. Thank God. Okay, one from two. Dan's got his head in his hands. Honestly, I try to make it easier each week. Dave Groh wasn't easy. Name this American Idol star.

Mama just killed a man. Put a gun against his head. Sam Walker. Pull my trigger now. American. American Idol. Oh, wait, sorry. Okay, wait, give another go of it.

Give another go, American Idol. He's singing a Queen song. Yeah, it's a hint. Yeah. He was a hint. Because he sings with Queen now. Here's another one of his songs. What?

It's not going to play because it's too bad. Avilaving, I mean, not Adam Levine. Adam Levine. Adam Lambert. I honestly give up with this game. I am giving up. I thought it was easy this week. Here's another question.

Based on a deserted island after a plane crash, what TV show is renowned for having a terrible ending? She knows this. Yes. Last. Two from four. Let's see if you can get three. Yeah.

Name this Australian TV host. Until next week. I say hi to your mum for me. Good night. Until next week, say how to your mum for me. See you with the Aria is. Say hi to your mum for him. Good night.

He had a catchphrase. And it was, what was the catchphrase? Say hi-high-y-in-mom for me. From deal or no deal? No. Ross McManus. Rove. He had rove live.

Never heard of it ever. Not once in my life. Someone just said, just turned 27 and I've never felt older listening to this. How old are you, darling? 25. Okay. Okay. All right.

Hey, back again next week. as we continue to play until you get a perfect score and that has never happened. It's a sad day for Gen Z's today. Clint Megan Dan. Okay, team, we have a bunch of holidays already that we celebrate. Craig Day is one you brought up.

Pink shirt day is a great one. Is it anti-bullying, isn't it? Yeah. Boxing day is another great one for the sales after Christmas. You know, if you are someone who can delay your Christmas shopping, it's always a goody. In fact, I think New Zealand we have the most, one of the most holidays in the free world.

It's crazy. Yeah, like quite a few. Much more than Australia, much more than America. In Melbourne, in where I'm in where I. from we get heaps because we get Melbourne Cup day off and we get the AFL grand final off. And Australia Day. And Australia, yeah.

I think they're about to can that. Oh, right. Just put on a different day. Then there's also Black Friday, which we just had. Not all of them you get the day off. It's just more like... A day of celebration. Exactly.

As a country, we all agree we're going to do that thing, right? I'm pitching and I'm willing to budge on the actual date. But I thought December 23rd would be a good fit. we are no judgment we all agree that we can do it we can all remove ourselves from group chats that we no longer want to be in

for 2026 yes yes thank you oh yes I know a lot of parents in WhatsApp groups are yelling yes out their radios right now yeah where you just go you know what I've been in this party group chat all year

I don't want any more updates from it in 2026 and I'm going to purge myself from all the group chats that I don't need in my life we're too frivolous and I was thinking maybe it's like 28th, 29th December I was like no because it gets really busy

in your overnoes and then you forget and if you miss the day so it's one of those things pre-Christmas 23rd of December Clinton's left the group the Great Purge and you can't judge people for it

and we all know going oh it's the 23rd I've got to get out of and we all get out of the group chats my family I've got one for my cousins on my dad's side my cousins on my mum side. Yuck.

Then I've got the whole group dad's side, whole group mum's side. Then I've got just the girls from dad's side. And then I've got just the girls because there's some marriage between the family's not incest. Just the girls for... And my mum will send the same happy birthday message on every single group.

Yeah. There should be like some sort of system... Happy birthday, Omar. Get requested to be added to a group. You shouldn't just be instantly added and you're the one that has to leave it. I agree. There should be some sort of thing

where you have to okay. A-being in that. And in general, there is too much expectation on us to be available in all the groups all the time on all the apps. I didn't sign up to be this contactable. You know what? If you've added someone to a group chat that you know that they probably don't want to be in, you're a scumbag. You're a scumbag. If you're going to stay in one group, what's the one non-negotiable group chat that you're in that you're like, nah, gives me life?

Probably literally just my main core family group. Nice. So that's mom, brother. One can piss off. I never check the work one. I can't stand. No offense, but I just, I don't need it. I mute it. I mute it.

It's just drivel. Well, until Mark Zuckerberg or whoever else is in charge lets us quietly ghost the group without telling everybody, I think we're going to need a day where we all just go, no judgment, you want out of the group? December 23rd, that's the day we're all doing it. And if you miss December 23rd, you're stuck in it for another year. Or maybe we just, maybe a better way is to cancel all the group chats. all disappear and then you've got to start again. If it's important, it will

start again. It's like when I get a new phone I don't transfer anything over. I just start fresh every time. The problem is if you're not the admin, you can't squash it. If you're being added as a member. But I'm saying it's you, the clock ticks over to the December 23rd and they all just disappear and we get to purge. I'm in the

dad's antinatal group from two years ago where my son's born. No one, but I'm waiting for someone to leave it so I'm not the first to leave. They're all still there. Does this just give me an excuse to just Just do it now. Chuck it in the calendar if you can produce a car. We'll make a big song and dance on December 23.

And if everyone's doing it, it won't be as big of a deal when we leave. Because we'll be like, mate, everyone does it. It's like a New Zealand thing. It's like a New Zealand thing. Yeah. Don't take it personally.

I almost didn't even want to leave this group, but I had to. Hey, Dems de rules, baby. Yeah, I didn't make him. Well, I kind of did. Well, don't, Clint. You're a real stand-up citizen for coming up with this. Thank you, my brother. Put him on the $5 bill.

Can I head him and off it? If you were going to be on the $5 bill, How much would you need to work out before they took that portrait? Oh, they're just putting his head on there. You're not putting his abs. No, no, no, I don't need my face on there. Adjust the abs. Well, so it's just a topless photo.

You can't get around that as a friend? Sad. That's sad, damp. That's so sad. Holy shit, you made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough, check out our only fans, podcast that is.
