This is a podcast from Rover.
Welcome to the podcast equivalent of a you up text, messy, slightly regrettable,
but you'll still come back for more.
This is the Clint, Megan, Dan podcast.
Under the cover of darkness, hours before most people's alarms sound,
they separately make their way to the studio.
They arrive as three ordinary humans. Three people with
boring mundane pathetic lives. Hey! Clint's life's quite exciting. Now with their powers
combined, this is Captain Planet. No, no, it's not Captain Planet. Oh right. Sorry, Force of Habit. This is Clint, Meg and Dan.
Good morning, 1 to 6 on your Wednesday.
Good Meg, I've got some good news for you.
Are you ready?
No, yes.
Wait, wait, wait, actually don't even put my headphones on.
Yes.
I've run out of Ritalin.
It's going to be a messy one.
Oh, and I also have good news.
I bought deodorant.
Oh thank god.
If I had to choose between you having deodorant or dad having Ritalin I'm
going deodorant.
So the good news is Meg's not going to stink this morning and I'm going to be a little
bit crazy.
Oh that's good.
Is that because New Zealand has a shortage of Ritalin at the moment?
You can bang on Clint. I've tried to get a prescription and there's a waitlist of about
two weeks.
Oh. So yeah there's waitlist of about two weeks.
So, yeah, there's gonna be about two weeks where...
There's two weeks just before we like kind of take a break
and I go off on my turn to leave,
so it's gonna be hectic.
Yeah, so if anybody can get me some on the black market.
No, no, Daniel, no, we don't say that.
I think if you've got ADHD, it's all right.
You still can't ask people for prescription prescriptions.
I know I can't. Cause you know. Yes, because you aren't prescribed.
Yeah.
But you're not like Dan.
Nah, but he had to have a prescription.
Let's keep it above board.
Come on.
You did it.
Me?
Yeah, Meg.
Come on, don't be spouting that kind of stuff on the radio, babe.
You're irresponsible.
Alright, let's jump into role models.
Sally, when the wine runs out, and then we'll get into a 6am throwback.
We've got a suggestion, by all means. 3, 3, 4 role models. Sally, when the wine runs out, and then we'll get into a 6am throwback.
We've got a suggestion by all means.
3-3-4-3.
Oh, God.
But you have three of us, we might get it on for you.
Radio stations don't actually do requests anymore.
This is probably the only place you might be able to get one.
They say they do requests,
but really they're just picking and choosing.
But I might.
If you've got a good suggestion, I just might.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
Just driving home from school pickup
with my kids and that song was on, Leech.
And my daughter goes,
Dad, do you know where the wine never runs out?
I said, where?
And she said, Nana's.
Oh, Nana's house.
Oh, it'll be a sad, sad day if it ever ran out.
Clint's mum and Clint's kids Nana,
oh, she drinks.
She's a drinker.
She's not at the level where you gots an issue.
No, she just loves her wine'd go, it's an issue.
She just loves her wine.
Yeah, she's retired and just loves her wine, but it's funny that my daughter has noticed.
Just randomly.
And you know her never runs out, Dad.
Okay, looking for a 6am throwback. Got a few suggestions through.
Meg, you went Mariah Carey as an option?
That's because I was just looking into Scandal this morning, Clint, and it looks like she
accepted an Ultimate Icon Award at the BET Awards.
The Ultimate Icon Award, yeah, alongside Jamie Foxx, which I'm going to get into for Scandal.
But do we have any throwbacks from Mariah?
Have we played much Mariah?
Mariah Carey with Jay-Z, Heartbreaker?
Heartbreaker, you got those bad news
Oh, sure. I mean, it's a great song. With Jay-Z Heartbreaker? Heartbreaker, you got those bad news You got those bad news
I don't think so
I mean it's a great song
There's one Mariah song we did play but I forgot
Here's my thing with Mariah Carey, I think she's overrated
Well she just wants the ultimate icon
I know, I know, I know
And you know what, she's probably, she is successful
She is very much successful
Why don't we play All I Want for Chris?
No, sure. Imagine the height.
Thought it'd come through.
The boss does want a spicy throw, babe.
I think that's like Indian hot.
And Touch My Body and Fantasy and stuff,
they'll all be too old.
Okay, okay.
Fantasy is another goodie.
Let me see.
Fantasy.
What else you got, Dan?
On this day in 2008, I'm just looking at music news from over the years,
American Idol was sued because they were saying that they were not paying musicians enough
for doing live music on the show.
Oh wow.
So it was quite a famous lawsuit back then and so we could play any of the American Idol winners. The only one we
really play is probably Kelly Clarkson she's the only one still getting a spin
I think from Idol days. She was the first wasn't she? She was the OG American Idol winner.
And we didn't really get that season I don't think we got Ruben and Clay Aiken
that was season two and then everyone maybe with they rolled out season one
after the success. You could do an Adam Lambert or Jordan Sparks. Jordan Sparks did that
like walking away song with the one No Air, with Chris Brown.
American Idol, the cool thing about American Idol was
it was at the peak of television, eh?
Like, it was the peak of, like, sitting around
in front of the television at 7.30 on Wednesday night.
The whole family got together, yeah.
It was a great time for watching TV.
Yeah, probably can't do guys of passion
because we've played them already.
What was the other one you said?
Jordan Sparks and who?
Jordan Sparks and there was also Adam Lambert.
Oh yeah, Adam.
He had some bangers.
He was at the Tonys the other night I saw.
Was he?
Yeah, at the Tony Awards, sitting down there.
So I think he does a lot of musical theatre now
because that's where he started in musical theatre
before he became the lead singer
of Queen, before he released all his singles.
He had that What Do You Want from Me.
Was that his biggest one?
Yeah, that was his biggest one, yeah.
I kinda like this.
You too.
Really?
Yeah.
Isn't it too crusty for you?
Well yeah, crusty was the word that was coming to mind.
Hey, we were thinking of playing Mariah Carey
five minutes ago.
With Jay-Z. Jay-Z is the least crusty was the word that was coming to mind. We were thinking of playing Mariah Carey five minutes ago. With Jay-Z.
Jay-Z is the least crusty person I could name.
Okay, let's put it over to Clint.
If he wants to play some Jay-Z and Mariah Carey.
But you know, people please that.
If you both want bloody, what do you want from me?
You know what I'm gonna do?
Just gonna mix them together live.
Oh God, we don't have Sean here.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Sam Sam throwback off the back of New Zealand Idol being sued on this day
back in what early 2000s? 2008 yeah just because they were not paying artists
enough for their live vocals on the show. Meg you got a fun new game that I
thought I'd just bring up called cool or ick and it's something that Dan's done
and then you have to be like that's actually pretty cool.
Is it about his remote control car that he drove?
Yes, yes, yes.
I will say this, okay so I purchased, if you haven't been following along this remote control car journey,
I purchased a remote control car and it's an adult one. It goes 70 kilometres an hour.
So it could kill a man if you hit them at speed or at least take a leg on. I purchased a remote control car and it's an adult one. It goes 70 kilometers an hour.
So it could kill a man if you hit them at speed,
or at least take a leg on.
It's a weapon really.
Yeah.
And man, I brought it in yesterday
and literally every guy in the office was like,
oh my God, where'd you get that?
Yeah, I can vouch for that.
I filmed a lot of behind the scenes of watching Dan,
who by the way was also in a pilot uniform.
It was a very confusing day yesterday
because of the Jetstar flights. Yeah, they had nothing to do with the remote control car.
But he was just standing around and driving around the office.
Dead burnouts. Man, it was a dude magnet. Dan, what? Gay bait.
If I was gay I would have got laid yesterday. Probably not at work.
Hopefully not. It was a fire wolf offence okay well everyone had seen it right
yeah we thought and then as Dan and I were leaving he's carrying his $600 remote
control car for an adult no but I think the price is important yeah the reason
why I have to say that because I would think as someone who spent that lot of money in. And the reason why I have to say that, because I would think as someone who's spent that kind of money on a brand new car,
you would treat it with like the utmost care, right?
Anyway, we see Rog from The Rock. We're all in the same building and he's leaving as we're leaving and he goes,
oh, he starts talking to Rog about, oh, do you want to see how it goes?
He loves cars, I don't know.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, God, do you want to see how it goes?
And of course, Rog is like, heke a do. You know, he's a petrolhead. He's on The Rock. He wants't know. Oh my god, you want to see how it goes. And of course, Roger's like, heck yeah I do, you know, he's a petrolhead.
He's on the rock, he wants to know.
So Dan's like, okay, hold on,
so Dan's gotta put the plastic cover on the top
of the chassis and stuff.
So he's putting it all on, he's connecting it.
And there's the bit, made me laugh.
Okay, cool the lick.
Because obviously it's got great suspension
because it's an expensive car.
Dan, from like waist or chest height,
just grabs it and throws it into the air
and it just like lands on its wheels
and then he like burns it off
rather than placing it gently on the ground
and then driving it.
He just chucks it from behind.
Yeah, but he's doing it to be cool isn't he?
I know!
You know, it's the equivalent of if you were a skateboarder
and you throw your skateboard down
and so it's rolling ahead of you and then you jump on it and skate off.
And then Rog goes, oh!
Because he thought he had thrown it and was going to hurt it or wreck it.
And then Rog went, wow, that's amazing.
And I was like, I've got to go.
But then I was like, is that cool or is that an act?
Definitely cool.
You can't decide.
Okay, well there's no question I would have thought, but hey.
Okay, Meg. Just all of it yesterday.
Mm.
She's turned on.
I'm not.
Okay.
I mean, I was fascinated.
Can I say that?
I was just fascinated.
Speechless.
The smiles on these men's faces, but then women were just walking by like nothing was
happening.
It was almost like it was invisible to women.
Yeah it was unbelievable.
It really was.
It's a little bit like my life to be honest.
Yeah the throwing that isn't it I must say dad.
I mean oh god I could just see you doing it just be like here we go.
I don't care.
600 bucks whatever.
Yeah.
Yeah show us lunch money baby.
Yeah if it wrecks the suspension I'll just buy another one.
Hey look, that thing can jump off very high jumps, okay?
You don't spend $600 for it to break when you drop it.
Yeah.
Mostly not.
Bit of...
Oh, but whatever, it's unadventured.
Yeah.
Hey, someone just text through saying,
cool Dan, can I have a girl go?
And it's from a girl.
So, thanks Marilyn for texting that through.
Okay. You can come over any time. So thanks Marilyn for texting that through.
You can come over any time. No, you can't do that.
Okay.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Let's go.
Scandal with Meg.
Listen, watch and play on Rover and be into one.
Cooper and Terima worth over $70,000.
The BD, sorry.
Your brand new car.
If you need a brand new car.
Yeah.
It gets me choked up when we talk about it. I do, yeah, I get very choked up because you could be winning a new car if you need a brand new car. Yeah, get a motor. It gets me choked up when we talk about it
I do yeah, I get very choked up because you could be winning a new car. Mariah Carey and Bob Jamie Foxx
Accepted this Jamie Foxx spoke about his stroke that he'd had earlier in the year
Was it public? I think we knew, I don't know. Yeah, it was public. Yeah, he had a quite a serious stroke
He's unbelievably talented one of the most talented people in the world, Jamie Foxx.
Very much so.
If you know his back catalogue and what he's done.
When I saw that memorandum, I was like, man, it could have been me.
But I don't know why I went through what I went through, but I know my second chance, I'm not going to turn down.
I'm not going to turn down. I have so much love to give.
I told him, I said, man, just give me one more crack at this.
And I promise, I said, whatever reason you put this on me,
I promise I'm gonna do right.
It was actually because we've cut that to be like,
obviously a lot quicker, super emotional.
They cut to people in the crowd, like bawling their eyes out.
I'm pretty sure it must've been his like kids
or like family members,
especially when he said like in the memoriam.
And then like he couldn't talk for a wee while after that,
just like thinking that would have been my name up there.
You know, I'm so close with After Hurned to Stroke,
which I thought was really touching.
You're right though, Clint. He's so talented.
He's won an Oscar. He's won Grammys.
One of the few people to do both.
There's only a handful.
But he got a foray.
He got a foray.
Yeah, that was an incredible actor.
But he's so good at impressions as well. If you've ever seen it in his impersonations, he can do literally anybody. Yeah, like I think that, that was an incredible actor. An incredible actor. But he's so good at impressions as well.
If you've ever seen his impersonations,
he can do literally anybody.
Yeah, like I think that's how he started out in comedy
when he was really young, eh?
Yeah, and I think that's why he was so good
at playing Ray Charles in that movie.
He's literally just doing a bang on impersonation of him
for the whole movie.
And here is Mariah Carey accepting the same award.
My life and career have been quite the adventure.
I will spare you the long drawn out saga tonight. same old. So I decided to own who I am. My extraness, my fabulousness, and yes, my
success and my iconicness. I guess that's what they're telling me tonight and I appreciate it.
Did she go before after Jamie? I think she went before.
You gotta take your hat off to her though.
She's got a confidence about it.
I know, and she's known to be a diva
and that's what you'd want from a diva.
You'd want a diva to be like, I am the shit.
I'm winning the Icon Award.
It would be hard to be as talented
and as successful as Mariah Carey has been
and not have some sort of confidence or arrogance
or whatever you want to label it as about you.
Just a quick one.
A-list, B-list, C-list. Mariah Carey.
A. She's A.
Wowee!
No, she is. She's iconic. She is.
But then you've got Jamie Foxx that I reckon is just as big. He's an A as well.
But I'm like, his speech was very different.
But maybe he's been through different stuff. Like you said, he had a stroke.
I guess when you're close to death's door, changes are made. And for us, I had a great year.
What do you mean?
I'm totally healthy, I'm totally fine.
Yeah, true.
I'm good on it.
All right, coming up next, Get To Know You.
We'd love to get to know everyone
that listens to our show,
nice and early, one at a time.
So if you wanna jump on the phones,
0800 The Edge will hit you with a few questions,
assume your answer, see who knows your best,
and we'll send you on your way with a voucher
to go spend in store at Zed. So if you haven't had your coffee this morning, we'll sort you out
and some.
The Clint, Mick and Dan podcast.
Can I get, get, get to know, know, know, know you better, better, baby? I wanna get to know
her.
Who are we getting to know this morning, Mick?
We're getting to know Maddie this morning. Maddie is a cancer. Her first car was a little Peugeot. Peugeot. A lot of people that have owned a
Peugeot before would call them a Peugeot if I'm honest. Yeah I don't think they're most reliable.
Is the make of it a little or do you think they've just said a little?
Is it a little car? Yes just a small hatchback. Fay food is a very hot curry. Oh wow. Very hot curry. Morning Maddie.
Good morning, how are you? Are we talking to Rogan Josh?
Rogan.
Rogan Josh?
Oh my god Matt.
Meg's gone Rogan again.
Yeah.
Probably a nice hot pika masala.
Pika masala.
Do you do like, so you do like Indian hot?
Yeah.
Do you really?
I got an Indian medium the other day
from my favourite place, the Flying Ritual.
Is that a New Zealand hot?
But man, I don't know what they gave me, but it felt like an Indian hot.
It was a, I was burning. I had to go...
After it and it was just a medium.
Maddie would be embarrassed.
Yeah, no, sorry.
Where are you on your way to this morning, Maddie?
You're heading home or heading to work?
To work.
Oh, what do you do?
To work.
I work for Kaingawara. Oh man so you're one of the three people left after all the job redundancies there. Oh have they been
killing people? Yeah left right and centre. Damn. It's so sad because it's one of
that is one of those industries the health sector that is that needs as many
people as you. So do you know Maddie that you're already like sweet you're already gonna keep your job or are you still in the midst of going through all that?
So at the moment we're good so Dan Clangor is like housing. Housing yeah yeah yeah but the
government stuff has been culled so much right? Yeah yeah all government departments at the moment.
Do you do it for the love of the job or do you do it for the money?
Love of the job.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would make sense.
Yeah, do it, do it. Yeah.
Helping people.
I don't imagine you're getting rich doing it.
Mm. Yeah.
OK. I don't know my question for Maddie this morning.
I've just been trying to think.
I feel like I've asked all the questions about the curry.
What does it have to be? Just curry based meat? She's got more facets to her life than just curry.
Yeah and we already know she likes it hot. I know. So I don't know what else there is.
That's probably why you're coming up with a blank. Yeah that's all I got. Um okay. Anything about Maddie's life in general whatsoever.
Yeah okay let's go to is Maddie in a relationship? We'll ask that question, because we actually don't know anything about it.
It's just a yes or no answer, so we'll just...
Okay, shut up.
What am I going to do? There's three of us.
Okay.
She's in an open one.
Wait, that's not a good one either.
That's not a good one either.
Okay, I love that this question's always on me.
Okay, let's do...
Well, I've asked her about six already.
I know, but that's not the game!
Right!
She's getting angry.
I know.
No, my fault. You don't have any questions about curry.
Mm.
All I've got is questions about curry, unfortunately.
But that's where I'm stuck.
Okay, alright, I'm gonna help Meg out.
When was the last time you had hot curry?
Thank you.
Closest wins, okay?
Okay, right, here we go. I'm gonna say last week.
I think it's her favourite food.
Yeah.
She is doing it quite regularly.
I think it wasn't last week, though.
I think it was a month ago.
Okay, a month ago for you, Dan. Okay. I'm gonna go yesterday. It was top of mind
That's why she shared it with our producer Sam. Who's closest? Okay
Dan
Probably in the last month
That was a safe bet. I'm an idiot.
Even though it's your favorite food you don't want to have it too much. Too much of a good thing
Oh, I disagree on that. Especially with its hot curry. I want everything of a good thing. Yeah, if it's your favorite wouldn, you don't want to have it too much. Too much of a good thing. Oh, I disagree on that.
Especially when it's a hot curry.
I want everything of a good thing.
Yeah, if it's your favourite, would you want it all the time?
Do you think if you had your favourite food every day of the week,
by the end of the fortnight, like two weeks, it wouldn't be your favourite?
My favourite food's pizza.
And if I'm having that every day, you know, it just becomes a normal thing.
A pizza can be so different.
You know, same with your hot curry, as I said.
But my favourite thing, and I'm not talking about food, if I had it every day I'd be so happy.
But the problem is you'd be very obese, especially if you had a good calorie.
No, not his favourite thing.
I burn calories, it's not my favourite thing of any kind.
I think his wife will be burnt out, that's probably it.
Maddie, we're going to send you to Z so you can get yourself a little treatie there, coffee or some food.
Thank you very much guys, have a great day.
You too Matty.
You can join Zed Rewards on the Zed app
and fill up with fuel discounts, points and treats.
Last time I filled up the app,
I used the voucher that was 20 cents off.
How many people give you 20 cents off?
Very rare these days.
Only Zed that I know of.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
A time for misheard song lyrics.
Sort of stumbled across this account
where this chick just posts them.
And they're new ones that I haven't heard before and I think they're pretty good. As soon as they aren't good anymore, done.
And the thing with a misheard- a good misheard lyric,
I don't know if you think this Meg,
but you can't un-hear it after you've heard it.
No, it's stuck in there and it can actually ruin a song,
so hopefully none of these are my favorites.
Okay, there's a post she put up,
it's a beautiful sort of lake with a whole lot of rocks around it
and she's posted, well I farted but I kept it hid or whatever Dua Lipa said. Take a listen.
Well I farted but I can't hear you.
I don't hear it.
See?
That's what it is, that's all it could be.
Dua Lipa dropping her guts I think is fine.
Yeah she's fine but she kept it hid Clint, that's the it could be. Dua Lipa dropping her guts, I think is fine. Yeah, she's fine, but she kept it hid, Clint,
that's the key.
True, cause she's classy.
What do you mean Dua Lipa's allowed to fart,
but like ugly people aren't?
Well, Dua has so many points in all other facets of life
that she can afford to lose a couple
and she's still like right up there.
You have a misogynistic little man.
That is quite a misogynistic little thing to say really.
True though. I really don't know why it's such a big deal though.
Oh I really don't know why it's such a big deal though.
Really don't know why it's such a big deal though.
Come on. Really? Do we know what the actual lyric is for that one?
It's such a big deal though.
Yeah, deal though.
Wow, they should have made that clear.
That one's too rude, that one's too rude.
Too rude.
Oh!
Okay, well this one's kind of rude.
And I didn't like the jizz in my eyes.
Oh my goodness.
I don't want to let you see.
Okay.
I do.
And I deny the tears in my eyes.
I don't want to let you see.
Ah!
That's terrible.
Oh yeah.
That's a straight drooling.
That's some of the PG ones.
Okay, oh I can't do that one.
Oh I love it.
Now I know why Clint's mum loves this.
Not because of that one.
I just mean because of Joshua too.
Beyonce, can she fart and get away with it like Dorelipa?
I think so.
Again, everybody can fart and get away with it.
It's not an attractive thing.
Clint can't.
Yeah I can't.
Every time we play Guess the Fart on a Friday OnlyFans podcast, everyone leaves the studio.
Okay what's Beyonce saying?
She says if I farted, please don't touch.
I don't even know what she's supposed to be saying.
If I bought it, please don't touch.
Bought it? Okay, born it or farted?
I'm hearing farted yeah there should be an album released of just fart based
songs with a lyric in there that sounds like that yeah okay i could do a ms3 song
lyrics fart edition well it seems like you've already
done it today yeah well that was 50% of them were
yeah okay well that'll be back yeah yeah that'll be back
oh and do and Meg looks like sometimes,
I've been working with Meg a long time,
I can read her eyes,
she's gonna put together a top 10 list of women
that can fart and get away with it.
Absolutely not Clint, something's gone wrong there.
I don't know what it's gonna be.
Just one list for Clint.
That'll be off.
It's a new deodorant or something,
something's gone wrong.
No, I will not be writing that later.
10 celebrities that can't, no.
Why don't you do 10 celebrities and we'll try and guess
if they can or can't, you tell us if we're right.
No, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
Just to quit right now, Megan Fox.
Oh, yes, definitely.
Susan Boyle.
No.
Oh, poor Susan, why is she always the example
of a person that's unattractive?
I was dead.
I think she's quite attractive.
I was just putting an A.
Oh shit, you were putting Megan Fox against Susan Boyle.
I've got a good one, I've got a good one.
Reese Witherspoon.
I say no.
I don't think she can fucking get away with it.
Meg's turned around Clint, we've lost her.
I thought she was thinking.
No, she's turned around.
It's the reverse of the voice.
This is the voice.
But she's just turned her chair around the wrong way.
Yeah, Meg does that when she thinks
it might be made into a video
and she doesn't want her face on the screen.
The problem is- Too late. The problem, the back of her head's quite iconic as way. Yeah Meg does that when she thinks it might be made into a video and she doesn't want her face on the screen. The problem is too late.
The problem the back of her head's quite iconic as well.
Yeah.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Stinky Boots.
But we wanted to show you how long 30 seconds really is
because we get a few people text through
when somebody inevitably ends up losing
because they pause for too long
or they pass too many times.
And they're like, oh, it then they oh it's impossible it's impossible
Yeah, maybe you're doing it too slow. We practice this behind the scenes to make sure that it is doable
Yeah, we've done many practice runs with the actual letter that you will be given at seven o'clock
But we can't do that on the hour obviously
But if it was too easy everybody would be winning $10,000
Yeah, it has to be a little bit hard
But we just wanted to prove that it can be done
in the way that I am saying them fast enough.
It's not impossible, because when you think
something is impossible, it's not very encouraging, is it?
No, we want you to see how pacey you need to be
to be able to win $10,000 in 30 seconds.
And we're going to demonstrate that now.
So, I've got 10 things like we're doing in the game,
easy money, but I just, I think just,
we need one of you to just say a word
so every time you're not thinking of the answer,
just say a word as if you know the answer.
Okay, so I'll do it.
I'll just say my name, Dan.
I'll go, every answer's Dan.
Every answer's Dan.
Yeah, I'll go.
And, don't answer straight away,
or you leave some thinking time.
Yeah, you leave a little bit of thinking time
just to show how easy it actually is.
Um, okay. Yeah, just 10K. Easy money. Okay, you leave a little bit of thinking time just to show how easy it actually is. Um, okay.
The Edge 10K.
The Edge 10K.
Okay, so Dan is going to play the caller in this scenario.
And then of course is going to be herself.
Here we go, so here we are, this is the real game.
Dan, good morning.
Good morning, guys.
All right, your letter is D.
Okay, D.
Oh God, I'm so nervous.
You can have repeats in this one.
Yeah. Right, here we go. This is just a demonstration. Demonstration, I'm so nervous. You can have repeats in this one. Yeah.
Okay.
Right, here we go.
This is just a demonstration.
Demonstration, that can be done.
Also starts with D.
Here we go.
Are we ready?
Ready.
Time starts at the end of your first question.
Okay.

Dan.
Time.
Time. And I'm going to give you a point. the most on this show? Dan.
Time. And I was leaving... Thanks for that by the way.
And also, you're welcome.
Those were much longer.
I wouldn't normally have someone who hates Meghan Markle.
That's quite a lengthy thing.
A fruit.
Hopefully that makes you feel a little bit more like it's possible, doable,
and able. Give you a little confidence going into seven o'clock.
How do you do this? That happened with your confidence Dan? Not really. Especially the bad
haircut one. That was that cut real deep. Clint, Meg and Dan. The Edge 10k.
One past seven. Your chance to play for 10k. 30 seconds. Meg will give you a letter.
We need every answer that you give in that 30 seconds to start with that letter.
No repeated answers. If you are unsure, you can pass.
And we'll come back to it if we've got time. 10 grand if you can get it done.
Yeah, it's easy as that. We showed you just before that it can be done with Dan.
And let's see who the lucky caller this morning is.
Actually, I don't know their name. What's their name? Maybe my phones have just gone down
Yeah, Kyura morning is this
Hello hello, what's your name? Oh my name's Adam
My phones are better playing up on me a bit. Okay morning Adam. You're playing this morning. Are you ready to go?
Ready to go. Yeah, okay. Let's do this Adam. Your letter is
G
All right, G. G, G. Cool?
Alright. Let's go. Good luck. Good luck Adam.

Something you can't see.
Ghost.
A car part.
Puss. Oh man! Man again! That was, you had, A car part.
Oh man! Man again!
That was, you had seven from seven, pass on the eighth.
Holy cow!
You were on a roll!
Your pace was impeccable at the beginning.
Gearbox gear stick for a car part,
but you had a video game and a country in the north.
Grand Theft Auto in Germany, you would have had it.
Yeah, straight away.
Holy cow! Adam, that. Yeah, straight away.
Adam, that was so, so good.
Damn, oh, I'm happy with that anyway.
Yeah, so you should be.
It was a good showing, mate. It really was.
Well done.
Oh man, guts.
Thanks, Adam.
Meg's phones are playing up, are they?
Oh my gosh, it's been happening for the past few days.
I'm sorry guys, if you're sounding clunky in the background,
been trying to get it fixed and they said they fixed it yesterday
and it has not happened.
Next on the show, Meg out till midnight.
She's very, very excited.
Oh, there are some things happening behind the scenes
you don't know about.
It's gonna be a hell of a night.
We're running around stressed ass.
We're doing stuff, I'm making phone calls, I'm emailing.
How many phone calls have you made then?
I made a phone call.
Eight phone calls. Yes, and that didn't pass. Yeah, and I sent an email and, I'm emailing. How many phone calls have you made then? I made a phone call. Eight phone calls.
Yes, and that didn't answer.
Yeah, and I sent an email and then she sent three back.
So that was like three pings in notifications.
So just know Meg, there's a lot of work going on
behind the scenes.
Just going down on Saturday night,
we'd love you to join us.
Just Meg out to midnight.
Our wonderful Meg's off on maternity leave soon,
so we wanna take her for one more night out before she heads away.
So I like the whole clubby, but could we shift it to earlier?
We looked at a lot of clubs Meg, and not a lot of them are open at four.
We've started employing the help of you listeners and some very heavy-heading party animals too.
Hey Meg, you bring the baby bump and I'll bring the other bump.
No, Jesus! Stop it!
Clint caught up with Dave from Sweatshop and he's even sorted us out for our first stop of the night.
He's got us a booth, he's got a bar tab suss for us so come on down see us and we'll grab you a drink.
Plus we've even locked in Auckland's premier pub crawl vehicle.
I guess it's an Uber or a limousine or some sort of...
No.
Oh it's so much better than that Meg, you're gonna go on the beer cycle.
Oh, it's so much better than that Meg, you're gonna go on the beer cycle. Meg out to midnight
Which, if you don't know what that is, it's probably exactly how it sounds at the bicycle with beer on it.
Yeah Meg, you've absolutely nailed that.
It's got a big keg in the front and it's pretty much just like a massive table with 15 seats
and everyone collectively pedals to move it from one bar to the next.
Except Meg has got an exemption clinic, she's the only one that won't be peddling. Mate we spoil you.
So it's on flat surface eh, because I just feel like they're going going downhill and stuff.
I haven't been into the Auckland city Meg but it's a little bit hilly so I'd imagine there is quite a few hills we're gonna have to navigate.
Now there's also talk of karaoke because you can't have a big send without. I hate karaoke.
Do you actually? Yeah, I genuinely do.
Every time, I know it's so probably taboo of me to say that.
You said you love singing.
Yeah, I do love singing.
I don't like listening to other people drunk singing
and just like, you know, the echo-y microphone and...
Yeah.
The least you could do is listen to them
if they're going to listen to you out of key singing.
But I don't, I never really get a turn.
I never got an idea.
I'm not a huge karaoke fan.
I don't think it's enjoyable for anybody
but the person on the mic at the time.
Here's the thing, I actually think there's a reason
why she doesn't like it, and it's because
you don't have a person that you can do a duet with.
You know, if you ever go to karaoke,
make sure you bring that person along.
That you're like, I know that Clinton and I
do a great rendition of Islands in the Stream
by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.
Oh well done, your brain, I don't know where it pulled that from.
I pulled that out of my body.
So you think I need somebody, but I don't, but that won't make me want to do karaoke because then they'll just sing on the mic.
Okay what about this, if you want to join us on Saturday night, you call us, let us know what your duet karaoke song would be with you and Meg and if you can, out of all the suggestions we get Meg, if you go actually
they know me best that is the song that I would do if I had to and then we're
bringing along like-minded people. Yeah I mean they're basically there for the
karaoke at the end of the night so you've got a very cruisy night up until
karaoke when you have to sing with Meg. Yeah yeah. You're just enjoying the
festivities up until that point where it's your time to shine
for three and a half minutes.
So what's your song?
What you'd go to, duet.
That you'd do with me.
Yeah.
Specifically.
And you want one that will make Meg shine.
I'd probably go, if it was Meg and I,
I'd probably, I'd be Ariana Grande
and Meg, you'd be Nicki Minaj
What's your duet karaoke go to song if Meg likes it enough you'll be joining us Saturday night how Meg's final
Send Meg out to midnight. We're gonna be hanging out Saturday night, love it if
you join us, Auckland hoedown. Sweet Shop is where we're gonna kick off in the
Auckland CBD.
Just Meg Out Till Midnight.
Then we're gonna bar hop through to midnight.
And one of your surprises for me is karaoke which I notoriously don't love.
That's annoying that we've just found that out. Yeah. I thought she would be all about it.
Actually and I will just say but on the surprise front
we've got another surprise we've locked in but you don't get it till 11 p.m.
Is one of the surprises that you've just said that karaoke because I was
not sure Megan would like it. I will be floored if you don't like this. Oh if you
don't like it we don't know you. Oh well. And you'd come across like a real
ungrateful bee. Oh yeah. There's a lot of people that don't know you oh well and you'd come across like a real and
grateful be oh yeah there's a lot of people that don't work behind the scenes
if you're like I don't like that I'll be like actually if you don't make it to
11 and don't get the surprise I'll be a little pumped because I'm gonna take it
yeah in fact I'll share it with Clint oh okay and then you'll see the video of us doing it
yeah and you'll be real jealous. OK, OK.
All right.
A lot of people texting in their duet suggestion
that they would sing with you to try and get their place on Meg
Out Till Midnight's final send.
Sarah, what song do you reckon you'd sing with Meg once we
got to karaoke if you were in charge of making sure she got
up and had a good time?
The best song, it'd be Tequila.
Oh, yes.
And if it's just one person.
No, one.
We can do it together.
You could sort of alternate saying Tequila.
We'd sort of have like three words to sing each.
I don't mind that because at least it's
more vibing-ly singing.
And I see what you've done here, Sarah, as well.
You've chosen a song that has absolutely no singing.
Yeah. Great for me.
Very good.
I'm still just vibing here.
It's still going.
Me and Sarah just bopping.
Why? Feel the fowl.
Just bopping.
Here we go, Sarah, you ready for our big,
here we go, sing it together with me.
Tequila. Oh, you missed it.
Tequila?
Get out, Sarah.
Tequila.
She can't be trusted.
She sobered too, I must say.
Sarah!
We got one!
It was the one big moment of the night.
She was doing the actual shot.
Was I?
Oh, sorry.
This one's come through.
Empire State of Mind.
Oh, it's a good one by Jay-Z.
Oh, it's hard for me to get up around those Alicia Keys notes.
Who's the other person? Is that with Jay- notes. So I'd be, well who's the other person?
Is that with Jay-Z? So I'd be Jay-Z?
Yeah.
What about Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper from the...
Porcello?
Yeah, Porcello.
Vocally another...
Hard one.
I still haven't seen this movie.
I can't believe you not said you'd love it.
Would I?
I didn't watch it because everyone said I would love it and then I was, you know, trying to do something opposite.
And while missing out on a great film.
While missing out on a great film, yeah.
Another great one that's being sent through on text.
Pippo and Kesha duet.
Not bad.
Now you're putting me there as Kesha or Pippo.
No, I'd be Pippo and I'd quite like to have a bald cap to go with it as well.
Wicked saw that.
I think they own one actually.
Yeah, when we pranked you with a fake Stanley Tucci interview.
Timber.
Timber.
Can you give us your Mr 305?
Mr 305.
Yeah, but these are a bit more gusto.
Then some old school ones are being sent through on tech. ["Ride On Me"]
["Ride On Me"]
This is probably my actual one that I'd choose.
Oh really?
Yeah, anything to do with Meatloaf or Bonnie Tyler
or old school 80s rock.
My favourite suggestion was the duet that is MKTO.
["Ride On Me"]
No one's going home and this is on.
No, everyone's going home because you'll be watching me try to read the lyrics.
So I'll just be standing there trying to read the lyrics from the screen.
Okay.
They went hard in KTO.
What are they doing?
We're going to collate all of these because there's a lot of text coming through now.
Kids by Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Glovers and Open Door from Frozen.
So many different suggestions.
So we're going to try and choose one, you choose your favorite and
then we'll invite them along. Yeah okay okay. We'll get in touch with you
and you can join our crew. I think Sweetshop has a booking for 20 for us.
The bicycle, the beer cycle only actually has 15 seats. So you'd be walking alongside us. Yeah, tag, tagger, tagger.
I don't think we're gonna be peddling that fast.
We'll probably be able to walk in a country place.
It'll be a messy but memorable night.
If you wanna join us, yeah, doors open,
seven o'clock sweatshop in town.
And Auckland Hoedown, I think dancing starts from eight
and I'll very own DJ Short Hill jumping on the decks
from nine.
Clint, Megan, Dan. Clint, Megan, Dan, Gandalf.
The more you listen, watch and play on Rover, the more entries you'll get for a
brand new Cupra terima.
We're talking about Scooter Braun this morning with his diary of a CEO.
Clint's listened through to nearly the whole thing.
I've had patches of it.
So you'll be able to talk about this a little bit more to Clint.
Scooter Braun is a music manager.
He's a talent manager for the likes of what we're used to Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Demi
Lovato, Ariana Grande and he is the man that brought Taylor Swift's songs that you'll know
about and he is the only reason that she rewrote what five albums? How many albums in the end
Dan something like that?
Oh, we're talking about Taylor Swift? Yeah her rewritten ones. She rewrote what five albums how many albums in the end dance and like that? Oh
We're talking to Taylor's were yeah, her rewritten ones
Seven she rewrote all those or re-re recorded them Sorry re recorded all of those albums because of scooter Braun
So and then went on tour did the era's tour to make enough money to buy them back was she just did?
$340 million later. So that's how much she hates the man.
She has been very open about not liking him
and said even she has admitted,
I think she got offered to buy them maybe at one point.
I don't know how high the price point was,
but she didn't realize that they were gonna be sold
to who apparently everyone knew was a nemesis.
This is what he says about the situation.
I had a feeling she probably didn't like me
because I managed them,
but I thought that once this announcement happened,
she would talk to me, see who I am,
and we would work together.
And the announcement came out,
and I'm calling Scott Borchetta and saying,
hey, send me her number.
I just talked to Thomas Rhett and he's excited,
and I just talked to this person and they're excited,
and I'm calling Florida Georgia Line next
and all the get you.
And then this Tumblr comes out and it says all this stuff
and I was just like shocked.
It's been five, six years, I don't need to go back into it.
But what I can tell you is everything in life is a gift.
Having that experience allows me to have empathy
for the people I worked with who I would always say, yeah, I understand,
but I never knew what it was like
to be on the global stage like that.
I never knew what criticism like that felt like.
And like I told you, the biggest gift that I got from that
was understanding that all the praise I had received
up until that moment was not deserved.
And all the hate I got after that moment was not deserved.
Yeah, so the people who was managing, I started managing Kanye West and Justin Bieber and they
Around that time were like making fun of Taylor quite openly on platforms and like you can say bullying her
and so she was well, I'm not gonna work with the guy who like
Takes photos with Kanye and and Justin makes fun of me on Instagram platforms, you know
So you can see all the nuances. He's probably got some right points.
She's probably got some right points,
but it is nice to see he can reflect of like,
oh, that's how it feels to be like Taylor Swift
with all this hate thrown at her that I was laughing at.
Like openly laughing at.
I guess he could have gone on the podcast
and just thrown Shay back at it.
Yeah, exactly.
Because this is the first time
he's truly spoken up about it.
There was a documentary that came out about it,
but I think it was more, yeah, more,
this is like his words.
Yeah.
Because he said him and Taylor had only met three times before he bought all of
her songs, thought they could probably sit down and talk it out.
Maybe if they had have had that meeting, things could have been very different.
But I get Taylor's Swiss perception of who she thought maybe he was and maybe he
was back then.
Exactly.
Based on what was happening at that time.
I believe there is a photo of him with Kanye and Justin Bieber like openly mocking her,
like that they posted.
So it's like, well then why would I want to give you a chance?
I think by the end of it you realise he's done a lot of living.
He was unbelievably young when he signed Justin Bieber and others and it looks like he looks
back on his life with a lot of regret, remorse and a lot of maturity now.
He was in his early 20s when that happened.
He convinced Justin Bieber and Justin Bieber's mum after a one and a half hour
phone call to get on their very first plane ever. They'd never been on a plane
before and at age 12 Justin Bieber and his mum flew to meet him at 25 and he
didn't have anyone on his books. Holy yeah, very charismatic, must be a very
charismatic man. Imagine believing in yourself that much at that age.
To just go, come over here and I'll make you famous.
Incredible.
But then he did?
Yeah.
Crazy, hey?
Really amazing.
Alright, your chance to play for 10K in 30 minutes.
Adam played this morning.
He was on a roll.
Got the first seven, passed on the eighth,
and then just ran out of time as he sort of slowed down.
It was the definition of a choking really,
needs to be honest, poor Adam.
He said he was pretty happy with his show.
He was, he should have been.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
I saw Dan you were on Instagram last night on social media.
Yeah, I recently moved from West Auckland,
and if you're from out of Auckland,
I think most people know West Auckland,
and the connotations that come with it.
I mean, Outrageous Fortune,
very famous New Zealand TV show based in West Auckland. The West End, the Mullet, the Bogan, Ford and Holden. There's so many iconic
things. Did you love it? I did enjoy it while I was there. So why'd you move? I was sick of stuff
getting stolen off my porch. And you got washed out by the police helicopter quite a lot. Oh,
the Raanui Raven. I call it the Raanui Raven because that's the suburb down the road for me.
That's one of the worst suburbs for crime in Auckland.
Yeah.
And the police helicopter.
I think they should just have a station there where the police helicopter lives.
Because it just needs to take off and hover.
Yeah, I had a friend when I once moved to Auckland.
I moved to my specific house and they go, oh, you know, you're down the good end.
You're not next to Rānuī.
I go, oh, no, you've swapped them around.
I am directly next to Rānuī. That's your next suburb the good end. You're not next to Ranui. I go, oh nope, you've swapped them around. I am directly next to Ranui.
That's your next move over.
Yeah.
You're that wrong.
I've got an idea for the show where we go around the country
and it's gonna take a while and we write a song
based on your suggestions of a different area.
So the first one I really wanna do is West Auckland
because I've just moved out of there.
It's top of mind.
Yeah. Okay.
So I put out on Instagram last night, anybody that's lived there, maybe you know someone that lives there,
maybe you just know some stuff about West Auckland, message it through.
We got inundated with stuff.
I feel like you have to have some sort of connection, you can't just take pop shops at a suburb you've never been to,
just because you've heard some stuff.
Yeah, so people have said, mentioned Rānuui many many times, it's come through
about six or seven times. Outrageous Fortune was suggested, someone even suggested their
favourite episode. When I think of West Auckland I just think Outrageous Fortune. Yeah someone else?
The episode where grandpa gets arrested for the job to get the money back for Pascal.
Yeah and very specific. The police helicopter was mentioned a few times online.
So when I think of West Auckland,
I just think about helicopters circling the mall
and cops with guns.
Yeah, that's where this happened,
like two weeks in a row, it was crazy.
Two weeks in a row is, I think, minor.
Hey, does this happen often?
When I think of West Auckland,
I think of people walking around the supermarket
in their pyjamas.
Yes! They come through multiple times.
Okay, and I've never been to this place. I want to, I don't know, it just hasn't happened in my life yet.
So when I think of West Auckland, I think of Costco.
Costco. It's the only one in the country.
You haven't been to Costco yet. How have I not managed to get you there with me?
I don't know.
Costco's one of those places where you go to it and there's always a queue.
Is it like a Kmart, but with food?
Like you don't know what you want,
Costco will tell you what you want when you get there.
It's bulk things, yeah, it's good fun.
It's bulk, it's heaven for bulk buyers.
I'll take you out on a date then if you like.
So you can keep these ones coming through,
you can message them through 3343,
your thoughts on West Auckland overnight today,
or for the rest of the day I'm gonna be writing the song
and I'll present it to you tomorrow. A song for West Auckland overnight today or for the rest of the day I'm gonna be writing the song and I'll present it to you tomorrow a song for
West Auckland is completely original okay built from the ground up original
song it's um it's got good stuff too it's about to get the New Zealand's
biggest Kmart dance can we have some good stuff in the mix is there any
positive stuff that came through on social media? Very little, but let's try and get some positive stuff in there too.
I can give you some, like...
You've lived there a while.
Yeah, eight years.
I'll get back to you.
You can burn your rubbish.
If your rubbish bin's overfilled, don't you just burn it?
But you've got to be careful, because I had to bring the fire brigade on the neighbour ones.
I think it's actually still illegal, Clint.
Someone said that Te Titerangi is very beautiful,
which it is.
Thanks for texting that through.
That's probably like the heart of the story Clint.
That is beautiful.
Yeah, the other suburbs.
Yeah, the jewel in the crown.
Yes it is.
Titerangi, okay.
So I'm gonna put my head down bum up, write a song.
I'll have it for you tomorrow.
Okay, last chance to get your lyric suggestions in.
Or you just send something about it.
Dan will work out how it rhymes.
Three, three, four, three, get those through.
Clip, Megan, Dan.
It's a coincidence, baby.
All right, last week, for Be That Coincidence,
this was the high water mark.
This was the final call to come through,
and we were like, this is the type of stuff
we're talking about.
If you have a coincidental story,
we are the radio show you need to share it with.
When I was 16 in high school, the firefighters came to school.
The firefighters there, you were chatting to them,
you asked if you could have a photo,
you were 16, then what happened?
Ten years later, the photo popped up on my Snapchat memories
and I realised that the whole firefighter in the photo
was my now partner of four years.
She's not!
Thank you for saying hell of a coincidence!
Kate! Who would have thought that was even possible?
What's your age difference?
Six years.
Oh, it's even better!
Meg's just shaking.
That won't warn me a little bit.
We were getting very excited about a schoolgirl meeting an older person.
No, no, no, no.
It all worked out fine.
He was a young firefighter at the time.
Before I really got into it.
Yeah, yeah.
And I mean, so that is, like you say, Clint, the high water mark.
But I think we're about to beat it.
Yeah, we've got a little intro even for her.
Oh my god.
So Bella.
The hamming up of this.
Yeah.
And it's not even like...
Oh, you'll be telling us all week that you've been...
I have not.
I brought this up once last week and you were like,
oh, save it for next week, save it for next week.
I haven't mentioned it since.
Turn up the epic music, Clint.
This needs an intro. I'm going to do it live. Good on you, save it for next week. I haven't mentioned it since. Turn up the epic music, Clint. This needs an intro.
I'm gonna do it live.
Good on you, Dan.
Here we go.
She usually does the web work for the Edge Breakfast Show,
but today, Bella.
What's your last name?
Holt.
Holt has a coincidence to end all coincidences.
Yeah, this might be the end of the segment, Bella.
It may be the end of the segment, Bella. It may be the end of the segment, Bella.
Oh, well, are you waiting for me to continue?
Now it's time to take it away.
Do I start? Sorry.
Yes.
Um, so I was home in Hawke's Bay the other weekend,
and I was driving along with my mum.
I was driving, my sister and my mum were in the car,
and mum was like, hey hey we need to fill up the
car and she was like so stop at this specific BP because it's like on the
way home and I was like yeah fine.
Oh only stop at Zed.
Oh yeah sorry I mean it was at Zed.
That's ruined the story almost.
Okay so we drove past, damn, we drove past this place where my brother had like planted some trees because that's like his work.
What? What do you mean? You drove past his house?
He plants like native plants like all around Hawke's Bay for a business.
So you stopped to see what he had done?
Wait, was it a bush? So you saw a bush that you had brought up?
So there were like plants and my mum said, oh my gosh, Pete planted all those and I said, yeah I know you told me last time we were here kind of thing.
She's a favourite child.
Very clearly favorite child.
Yeah and so we were driving along still talking about my brother for a while and then we get to the BP
and to Kate to go in. We pull in talking about my brother. He also pulls in in his car to the exact
same BP that we were at. Didn't know he was in town. He lives in like Wye Park which is like...
Oh that's getting better now.
He lives in Wye Park which is like an hour away,
he's in town and we just like rock up and he pulls into the same BP.
So he didn't know how far I'd go?
He didn't even know I was home, he was like what are you doing in Auckland?
The trees is because that's why they started talking about him.
Yeah, that's just like even more crazy that we were talking about him and we just...
How sad for him that it was crazy your family was talking about their kid.
He wasn't planting more trees in the area and then just happened to...
No, no, no. A new job now.
But like...
Why didn't he tell you that he was there?
Because...
Is there stuff going on?
No, no, no. There's nothing going on.
He was just like in town for some fundraising thing for his bowling.
Was he avoiding you?
Sounds like he's cheating on somebody.
No, he wasn't avoiding me.
The sooner the better, he was at a Z. The fact that he was in town.
He was getting 20 cents off a leader's chopper. We both had a voucher!
If we both had the app it would have been so much cheaper to fill up.
I never said this is great but it's not bad is it?
Imagine Meg, you're calling to a stupid...
I'm in Wellington, I'm in Wellington, I'm calling to a Z. You're calling to a super... I'm in Wellington, I'm in Wellington.
I pull into a Z.
You're calling to a Z, right?
Me and my mum are talking about my brother
because he did some electrical work for a cafe.
You just drove past the cafe.
And then my brother pulls a...
But he lives down the road, so it's kind of...
My brother doesn't look like he lives...
What's the geographical distance between where you were and where...
Why park?
Like, what do you mean?
An hour.
How far? Oh, like an hour mean? An hour. How far?
Oh, like an hour.
Like, in fact, he was in town that day.
I don't think you should have been going on about this for a week, but it's pretty good.
I regret doing this voice.
I'm leaving a quote.
Alright, beat that coincidence.
What have you got?
I'll wait under the edge.
Can you beat Bella?
Can anyone?
They probably can.
Don't let her scare you off.
I'll wait under the edge.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Oh my gosh.
It's a coincidence baby.
We are the show you come to if you ever find yourself
in one of those, oh my God, what are the chances?
Coincidental stories.
Yeah, they're still coming in.
And I'm so impressed because I thought we would have run out
weeks ago if I'm being really honest.
Coincidences are happening every day Meg.
Right.
And they can be simple coincidences.
Like some of the best coincidences are just cut and dry.
But I feel like Bella just had a simple coincidence.
We all ripped her to shreds.
Definitely wasn't the best.
Right.
But I wouldn't say it's the worst we've heard.
No, that's true.
We've got Brigida here on 0800.
Oh, Sam, it sounded like you're like,
it's not the worst.
No, you're right.
We've got Brigida.
Yeah, that was terrible. Poor Regina.
Regina, tell us your coincidence.
OK, I immigrated from South Africa 29 years ago.
So I arrived in Hamilton, going to Waikato Uni.
And there was a sign on the board saying South African
trip to Rotorua meet some other people.
So I signed up, turn up, get there, get allocated to a vehicle with this guy
and this girl and we're driving down and as you do tell where he's from and kind of working that
out and all of a sudden the penny dropped for me and I said to him you don't recognize me do you
and he said what and I said when I was about 14 and you were 16 I was a girl guide and you're a
scout and we're on camp and we a girl guide and you were a scout and
we were on camp and we hung out and then you asked me out and we went to the movies together.
Well, of course, his girlfriend wasn't turned police.
Oh my god, oh my god, the girlfriend's like honestly, good holdings.
I mean, there are a lot of South Africans in New Zealand.
Do you live on the North Shore in Auckland?
No, I don't live on the North Shore, this is Hamilton. Oh yeah, Browns Bay.
That's actually more impressive then.
That's crazy.
Wait, please tell me now he broke up with that woman
and now you're married.
Oh my God.
No.
Oh.
No.
That would have been incredible.
The rest of the trip was pretty awkward
and I had to find another car for the trip home.
Oh really?
You got another car for the trip home?
Was he that upset with the fact that he once kissed
another girl when he was 16?
Oh it was so weird.
Yeah.
Well, I was still seeing your doll pass in the movies.
You don't obviously have to take him.
Dangerous Animals, it's in cinemas tomorrow.
Check out the trailer, looks bloody good.
Okay, let's go to Maddie.
Oh, hand to the edge.
Coincidence, Maddie, please.
Okay, so you know those Tee-Wai toys?
Oh, they're like big eyes. they're kind of like baby babies.
My kids have had those.
If you have kids you'd know them.
Yeah, you can buy them at Farland and stuff.
So I got gifted one of those for my birthday and it was a Dory fish.
And I was like, oh my god, my grandparents used to call me Dory as a kid.
Oh, cute.
And I was like, that's really sweet.
And the person that gave that to me didn't actually know that.
They were just like, oh, what a question.
Why did they call you Dory by the way?
Is that...
Forgetful.
Because I talk too much.
Oh yeah, okay, okay, okay.
That's very cool in the radio station.
And Neymar was really, really big when I was five, so.
Right, right, awesome.
And the T.Y.
toy tag, I opened it up and it had my name, it had Maddie.
Oh, that's so weird.
Cool.
And then because they have birthdays, the birthday was also my birthday.
Shut up!
It's a surprise!
Shut up!
Shut up, Maddie!
I think this is the first time we've had three coincidences line up to prove one massive
coincidence.
Yeah, like a little one, but like three little ones combined
to create a big one.
Maddie, we can send you a double pass
to our must see movie Dangerous Animals
in cinemas tomorrow as well.
That toy was made for you, Maddie.
Thank you, it was, it was.
Do you still have it?
Yes, always, it's on my window sill.
Oh.
That is just, what a story.
Get out and see Dangerous animals if you get a chance.
It's a psychological thriller.
Yeah. And if you check out the trailer, it'll definitely make you keen to get along.
If I was her, she's like she needs to be calling back next for easy money.
The Clint, Megan, Dan podcast.
Win $10,000 right now with the edge.
10K.
Good morning, three past eight.
Your chance to play for 10K right now.
30 seconds.
Miguel asked you 10 questions.
She'll give you a letter that your answers must start with.
No repeated answers.
You can pass though.
If we've got time, we'll come back.
Good morning, Dylan.
Morning, how's it going?
Good, you?
Sound calm? All right, Dylan, you all better?
Alright Dylan, you know the rules, you ready to play?
Yes, I'm ready, yep.
Your letter is T, say it back.
Okay, T.
Good, okay he's got it.
Alright, your time starts at the end of Meg's first question.
Best of luck Dylan, for 10,000 bucks, here we go.
Name a sport.
Here.
Something you find in the bathroom.
Pass.
A colour.
Tangerine.
A human muscle.
Pass.
A state in America.
Texas. Something orange.
Tangerine.
Something you can burn.
He didn't answer!
Of all the colours, tangerine.
I was like, no, he's already used tangerine!
Teal or turquoise might have been better for colours.
Although tangerine is a colour, apparently you can...
Yeah, of course it is, but it just so happens to be a fruit, that was a later question.
And of course your brain thinks that, goes, I can't say that, but then you can't think of anything else.
I'm so sorry, Dylan.
So you just blurted it out, yeah.
Toothbrush in the bathroom!
Toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, toiletries, toilet.
Oh yeah, you just blamped me, eh?
Dylan!
Tea was a good one first of all mate.
Sorry Dylan.
Awesome, thanks guys.
Cheers my bro.
It takes all of my might to not say something out loud during that.
Really?
Yeah, I'm like thinking it, I'm like, oh say it, say it, say it.
It's impossible.
It is easier when you don't have the pressure of knowing there is actually $10,000 on the
line.
Again, your next chance to play 3 o'clock this afternoon with Sean
Stephen Harrison and their Jarvos, otherwise we'll give you another couple of cracks at
it tomorrow morning, 7 and 8.
Clint, Meg and Dan, let's go!
Are you a professional prize winner? There are some people out there you may not even
know exist, but they just win stuff a lot. And I think typically it's because they put
themselves in the draw more than most of us will because we think, ah, one of the chances.
I think a lot of the time I would pick Meg as a professional prize winner. I reckon you
enter competitions a lot. You're correct and wrong at the same time. I enter
every competition that I come across and I haven't won any. Really? So I do enter
but I don't win. Because I had a friend of mine, Who were quite lucky.
from back in my early radio days, Holly,
and she worked in promos for this radio station.
And so she obviously realised how many people enter
a lot of competitions and realised it wasn't a lot.
And so she just started entering everything
and she would win probably fortnightly, monthly at a stretch.
I'm doing something wrong then.
I don't know what it is, but I haven't won anything.
And I enter every server that comes into my inbox,
everything.
We need to get Holly on who's just texted through,
sorry Lauren on who just texted through.
She said her uncle clocked time zone.
The arcade place.
Yeah, 100% we need to get him on.
He's banned.
Cause he's just too good.
In Aussie and New Zealand.
That's incredible.
He's in his seventies.
We need to get him out of retirement and see if he could clock it again.
And we take him along.
I love that.
Let's get him into a time zone.
Seeing this 75 year old dude on the wall in the time zone reception being like this man not allowed in here.
Yeah.
Well there are a lot of people that did win yesterday.
Here's just some of the people that did with Every Caller Wins, Jester, Fly Vouchers.
Every Caller Wins Jetstar Flight Vouchers. Every Caller Wins with Jetstar.
$250 vouchers!
Congrats, Stella.
Oh my god.
Early in the morning, you're our first winner, come on.
$250, that's all yours.
$250 to commit to one some flights with Jetstar.
$250!
Nice!
Oh, thank you!
You've won $2,000 worth of DSR flight vouchers.
Oh my god!
I don't believe you're kidding!
I'm not joking!
You're going to Fiji without your kids!
$1,600!
Yes, Sean!
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
Come on!
I've literally never left the country.
I'm going on holiday.
Oh my god!
Yeah, girl!
You have to then!
And I'm going to get. Oh my god! You have to then.
And I'm gonna get a honeymoon!
Oh my god!
So heaps of winners yesterday on the show
and some people were texting us
saying, oh I've called 500 times, I've called 800 times.
And then there was this person
that I'm pretty sure she ended up winning a $500
travel voucher.
She lied to the producers.
She's got through the thing just to get on air.
Just to win twice.
I've rung up twice.
I've rung and got in twice and got hung up on.
Oh, she's got through.
Only twice.
I couldn't believe it because she was saying it as a lie.
I've rung twice.
We have people that were ringing hundreds of times.
70.
I just can't believe it.
She was like, yeah, but I've rung twice.
Some people just, I think professional prize winners,
they know how to work certain systems,
they know what to do, what not to do,
they're just lucky, I don't know.
I agree, Keline, there has to be an element of luck,
but I also think there's something about
how you write things or enter them or-
Sob stories, okay.
We've got Lauren on,
whose uncle is the one who's banned from TimeZone.
He's in his 70s.
What is his trick, Lauren?
Oh, hello.
And I honestly have no idea.
He's just he's clocked it.
He's won like 38 iPads.
He's got the.
He yeah.
And those and those things that you have to like.
Yeah, you have to like, press the button perfectly on time and he just wins one every time.
Oh that's it, we've got to get him out of the car.
I've been dying to do a talent quest on this show of some sort and that sounds like he's got the best one.
He's got the claw machine as well, he can like grab stuff out of that.
I'm going to take him out to every time zone I can get to see how much he can win.
And the amount of soft toys he must have or does he not muck around with them?
If he's dealing with iPads, he's not dealing with soft toys.
No, he's got like his whole bed, like he's got a spare bedroom and it's literally full of time zone winning.
That's madness.
So he's got like a full, a full like single bed full of like claw machine toys.
He's got like just random things
he's got super power and just arcades i know i know it's amazing right but yeah he's he's very
old he might even be in his 80s now but yeah he's come out of he's in retirement so we've got to
bring him out of retirement what's his name his name? Uncle who? Uncle Ken.
Uncle Ken, of course it is.
Of course, it's Uncle Ken, I could have guessed it.
Clint's a base.
Yeah.
He's speechless.
We need to get him.
I've got an Uncle Ken, but his beer room's just filled
with like big bopper beer crates and stuff.
Right, not quite the same.
Different Ken though, isn't it?
All right, no, we'll get him to keep in touch with you
because I really want to meet Uncle Ken.
We'd love to talk to you if you are
a professional prize winner. If you win more than the average person, although you're not I really want to meet Uncle Ken. We'd love to talk to you if you are a professional prize winner.
If you win more than the average person.
Although you're not going to want to give us your tricks and how you do it.
Maybe they're out of the game now like Ken.
Yeah.
You know, their winning days are over.
And also maybe they don't even know their tricks.
Maybe they're just lucky, right?
And we'll just get your story.
We don't need you to teach us your ways.
Just give us your stories.
What's the last thing you won?
How often are you winning? How many competitions are you entering a year, because it's kind of a world that I think
a lot of us didn't know existed. Yeah. We want to talk to you if you are a professional prize winner.
You know?
Professional winner, you're very very good and that's whether that's a talent, you have like Uncle Ken we
spoke to before his band from all time zones in New Zealand and Australia
I'd love to talk to him. We've got to get him. We've got to get him
Um, or if it's just a luck thing, you don't really know why but you seem to win a lot
Can I go maybe this is gonna be a controversial opinion, but I'm imagining a prize winner
Someone that's a professional
They're a bit ragged. What do you mean? You know, like they're a bit sort of like it looks like that
They're the best days are behind them.
Daniel!
Not if you're this person.
I think you'd look quite refreshed.
I won six nights in Samoa for two last night.
Oh my god.
How?
And then someone else, I don't know if this person is lucky or unlucky, they said they
won a brand new car, but they were under 18 when they entered and so they weren't eligible
to win. Oh, damn.
That would be gutting.
Surely they should just give it to your mum.
You're really lucky if you're the second winner then if you're the other person because that's
real luck.
Just called through.
Okay, hi Jacinta.
Hi, how are you?
Yeah, good Jacinta.
Your hubby's a professional prize winner.
Yeah, I'd like to think so.
Okay, what has he won in the past year?
So in the past, I'd say like eight months, he's won two PlayStation 5s and a PlayStation
3.
And he's won a PlayStation 4.
And he's won a PlayStation 4.
And he's won a PlayStation 4.
And he's won a PlayStation 4. And he's won a PlayStation 4. And he's won? So in the past, I'd say like eight months, he's won two PlayStation 5s and a $500 JB
Hi-Fi voucher.
Wow, and what sort of competitions is he entering?
Is he just anything he sees?
He enters it?
So, nah, so he watches a streamer online.
Yeah, oh yeah.
You spend like $50 a week or whatever and it gets you so many tickets
into a raffle and um yeah so the streamer he watches is from Australia and yeah he's been
picked three times in the last eight months. Does he have a lot of um followers the streamer because
you sit there and go that's surely hard odds. I think he has got quite a large following.
But whether they, like, yeah, I don't know how it goes.
I think you've got to win over a certain amount of money
when you're entering the throttle.
Yeah, but he's not picky.
He'll enter anything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's just entering anything, really, Clint.
I think the thing is, and she's proved it there, you have to crack the system a little
bit.
Not to the point where you're illegally doing stuff, but you have to go, this isn't my way
in here.
Okay, I don't know if they want us to read their name, but this one.
I've won a significant amount of things over the years.
A laptop, fridge, second division lotto within a syndicate, so them and a few mates, and
a $10,000 trip to America.
Yeah, that's a professional winner.
And listen to this kiss-ass that sticks through.
I win every day because I'm married to the best person on the planet.
Blah.
Oh, that's my husband. That's my husband's number.
Oh, God.
That's cute.
Hey, how many times do you need to enter that competition to win?
School run. I'm going to win.
School run.
So, Juus and Nepia, got an idea I'd like to pitch to you.
At least once.
How would you like to become a professional prize winner, or at least enterer?
I can enter everything.
We as a team would like you...
That's a lie. I can enter everything. We as a team would like you to enter every single competition that you come across. Whether it's someone's emailed you something or fill out the survey.
Oh my god.
Anytime people pass something you have to enter it.
Would you like to enter the draw or you buy something and go, oh hey would you like to
enter this competition?
You have to say yes.
Here's what happens when you win
You will eventually we then have you spin a wheel and you get to keep it or give it away and it's always 50-50
Yeah, that's brilliant. I enter so much stuff as well. I've never won anything apart from a box of Stein Lager once
Yeah, you enter it you just need you to up the ante with the things you enter.
The only exception will be if you want to trip for two somewhere, then we will give away your plus one,
but you will still get to go with them. So you can tell us what the experience was like.
Okay, great. I'm in. I'm gonna start entering now.
We're gonna get updates weekly of how many competitions you've entered,
just so we've not what we've got in the game, you know?
Yeah, we know like sort of like what lines are in the water and then when you do win we spin the wheel
50-50 keep it give it away
You can get some tips from Sam who's takes through saying I'm New Zealand's biggest radio competition winner ever
Really? And someone else Olivia said I won three bucks off the edge once that must have been in the 90s
Because we're giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars now, you poor thing.
It must have run out at some point.
Oh, what was it, that one where me and Dan played the game,
and you got either what was in Dan's envelope or what was in my envelope,
and everyone turned down my money.
Oh, cash-strapped!
Yeah, that must have been it.
We've got Dan's Google history coming up next, by the way.
I've already gone through it.
Oh, God.
She's concerned.
I am concerned about this week a little bit actually.
It's a couple of things that I've even questioned
if I should say it on here.
Oh, okay.
Probably don't then.
Oh I will.
Not everyone.
And also, if you wanna start your winning now,
listen on Rova.
Oh yeah.
$70,000.
Can I win that one?
You can't win that one though.
No edge comps sorry.
But yeah, listen to us in Rover.
If you're not doing it, start doing it.
And the longer you listen, the more entries,
you will have it winning a brand new car.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
I'm going to start off easy with you this week, Dan. One of them though, I just don't understand
this because you actually held yourself a bit of a cook in your family. Bit of a chef,
you cook more.
Do I? You've got me wrong.
You've said that you-
You don't know me.
You said that you cook more than your wife at the moment.
I do, but I wouldn't say I'm a cook. Oh far from it. Oh god no. I think we've gone back
to sort of a 50-50 split.
Oh good, because it got- oh is that bad?
Just shockingly bad.
Yeah, I did see you had to Google a berry smoothie recipe,
which I thought was pretty basic if I'd been on a-
Berries, milk, maybe banana.
Maybe banana if you want one.
That was because my wife Hannah asked,
she was like busy with something,
and she was like, can you ask the ratios of a smoothie?
And I was like, God, okay.
Oh God, maybe you-
Milk, yogurt, and berries.
Okay, I don't know if you're having an identity crisis at the moment, I know you're going through a confidence thumb.
Yep. What's happened?
Well you Google what percentage Māori am I.
And then literally six days later you said, how do I know if I'm part Japanese?
Yes. Now I can explain them.
So, yeah.
So the first one is my granddad was part Māori, okay?
And so I wanted to work out the percentage I am
because of his being his descendant.
And then very separately,
I think this was a day after, which is a coincidence.
No, it was a few days after, yeah.
Someone, I was watching a TikTok
that said that everybody has a little bit of Japanese in them
Everyone's got a little Japanese in there
Yeah
And so I was like surely that's not true
And so I googled it and apparently it like the a lot of descendants come from Japanese people
God you were bored that day
I was bored
Yeah
Yeah
I was still none the wiser because you have to put in a whole load of details to find out and I've got no one that I know
in my family that's Japanese.
No, your mum doesn't give me Japanese vibes.
Morning Julie.
How's, speaking of Julie, her mum still alive?
Yes, as far as I know.
No, she is, she is.
Really?
No, I don't think you would know
because you Googled three times,
how often should I visit my grandma?
Every three months apparently.
What do you need Google to tell you? think you would know because you googled three times how often should I visit my grandma every three months apparently
What do you need Google to tell you?
You shitty bad son, grandson
I was talking about this with my mum
I haven't been to see my grandma in I think over a year because she lives in a home
and yeah I just
Are you not allowed in homes? Are you banned?
No see that's the thing Clint
I just need to go she looks like about a 40 minute drive you know
He's got a new addiction as well Clint. He said he's addicted to strepsils because he had to question his 10 strepsils a day bad, which I would say yes you shouldn't have.
Yeah, day to day max apparently.
And my favourite from this week personally is, what's Greta Thunberg's problem? Ah! Ha! Ha! What's in dance Google history? It's in sexy as a whip
We solve a great big mystery
She's just trying to do good in the world
I was just thinking why she wears a whinging?
Have a laugh!
She's been like abducted Dan, what do you mean she's whinging?
Oh yeah but before that
Google isn't going to start venting with you going
Oh tell me about it Dan, gosh she's whining
Oh she's been abducted which is horrible
Yes!
But before that she was in a whinging
I think he's like protesting, sticking up for people.
Oh yeah, have a laugh.
29 bucks, mate.
Never see you having a laugh.
Well you get abducted and then see how funny you think life is out here.
She's not always being abducted!
Okay, right, here we go.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Stinky Boots.
We're putting together a coffee table book of some of the things that people think are appropriate to do whilst
their partner is in labour giving birth. I think we've got a couple contenders that I think,
I don't want to speak for the team, but can go straight to the book. They're that good.
Yeah they're amazing, absolutely amazing. Unfortunately for you Candice, we think it's
amazing but your story is so bad I think it could go straight to the book. Morning Candice.
That's amazing, but your story is so bad, I think it could go straight to the book.
Morning, Candice.
Morning.
How'd it happen?
Well, I was in early Labour,
and our fireplace had been kind of on the fritz,
and so it was my daughter's ninth birthday yesterday,
so this is nine years ago.
Middle winter, and yeah, he got a tradie around
to just come sort out the fireplace.
Right.
So you're in Labour, and this is a tradie being like,
oh, let me just go and...
How far into Labour were you
while he was fiddling around with your fridge?
You know, like every few minutes,
can't hold on a conversation,
having to like stop and like just,
don't mind me, I'm just gonna rock back and forth
in the corner.
I bet that tradie's still thinking about this to this day,
he's like, that was the weirdest drive-away ever.
Did he say anything?
Oh yeah, like we knew him, it's Gav,
he's like, oh just get Gav round,
and I'm like, oh yeah, don't mind me, just, you know,
just over here, going through some stuff.
Wow, that's wild Candice,
we're going to sue you out of a $50 Peterpitt voucher.
I know in hindsight it feels insignificant.
It doesn't feel like much, but you've got a child.
And you don't, they've got four flavoursome flavours, Smokey Rib, Cheeseburger, Poppin' Chick, Veggie Smuggler, all for just 10 bucks each.
So you can get amongst five of those. Awesome cheers mate. You're welcome.
You can put them in the fridge. I will say, he was probably forward thinking there.
Because once you get back from the hospital, you need food and if the fridge everything's gone off. No the fireplace. Oh is it the
fireplace? Yeah. Oh you need fire you need heat. Yeah I mean yeah yeah but it just
feels like if you're going through labour you don't want to be polite and
do niceties to strangers in your home. Yeah I agree. You just don't. They might use the
bathroom and oh god okay let's go to Hope. Oh I went into the edge. You just don't. They might use the bathroom. Oh god, okay, let's go to Hope. Oh, I went into the edge.
Morning, Hope.
Morning.
Okay, you were in labour while they were what?
Well, it was kind of a weird story because my mum,
it was my fourth baby and my partner at the time first.
Right, okay, Yeah. Okay. And my mum
kindly said that my partner at the time's mum could be at the labour. So she could witness
her first grandchild being born. Without your permission? Yeah. Tricky. Now that is something
I think. Right at the end of my pregnancy, my midwife actually suggested my mum be there because
it was going to be quite complex.
Yeah.
So I had to break the news to my mother-in-law and she wasn't too happy about it.
It's a tough one, right?
Because I was like, in the end, you're your mum's baby.
You know, there is some... I get why your mum would want to be there because in the end,'re your mum's baby. You know there is something it's like it is
I get why your mum would want to be there because in the end she's worried about you
Okay so your mother-in-law not happy. What about your partner?
He was playing Nintendo Switch the whole time I was in labour
and it actually went flat on him and he pulled the heart monitor to my baby out to charge
her Nintendo Switch.
You're kidding me!
There's no way, there's no way, there's no way.
My wife would not have had health.
No, we can only laugh now because everyone's cool and healthy, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
Are you still with him?
Um, no, but we are like really really
good friends and we have a laugh about it all the time. You're a good person. Any ideas
what the game was that like couldn't be stopped? I have no idea what he was playing. Come
on take a little interest in his life. Go on then Hope, I can see why they eat in between you two.
He's got hobbies too, come on.
Alright Hope, we're going to send you one of our hedge must haves as well.
A 15 dollar Peter Pipp voucher coming your way.
That is wild.
That's unbelievable. I couldn't have anybody else if I was giving birth.
I just want my husband and that's it. My partner.
Has anyone else got a story that is as good as those?
I was in labour while they were what?
Don't take the baby monitor, surely not.
I'd like to say he didn't know he was pulling out the heart monitor and was just saying hold on.
Don't pull out any plug at the hospital.
That's true, it's a good rule.
I was in labour while they were what?
If you've got a story, I'll wait under there, you can text it to 3343 like this one.
I was in labour all night and all morning and then my partner said,
hey, I'm just going to go get a haircut.
And then I waited for him.
Then he drove me to the hospital, but we had to swing by a house that he wanted to look at on the way.
Oh my God. It just blows my mind.
Do they honestly, do they, do they, these men genuinely think that it's like easy
and we're like, we're like putting it on or making it up?
One more text before we go to calls.
I was in labor crowning in the bath
when he comes up to me and asks for coins
for the snack machine.
God, I can't handle these things.
Where would she be getting coins from?
She's in the bathroom.
Let me, let me, let me.
I'm gonna have to get Richard to her pocket
and go here you go.
Hey Rachel.
Good morning.
Hey Rach, you can only laugh or cry.
You were in Labour while they were what?
Yeah, I was...
My ward was broken and I had to bring my husband.
He was out at an all-backs game,
like watching it at a friend's house.
Did he rush home so that he could be by your side? like, game, like watching it at a friend's house. Um, yeah.
And he rushed home so that he could be by your side?
I had to wait for him to have a nap
while to recover from drinking beer.
Oh my god.
I waited for him to-
How, did you go into labour really early?
Like, you know, like you were 34 weeks or something,
so it was a shock, or were you ready to go?
Um, it was two weeks early, so. Yeah, no, I you ready to go? It was two weeks early.
Yeah, no, I couldn't go at any time at 38 weeks.
So he got home from the bar
and obviously he had a few too many pints,
so he was like, I'm gonna need to sleep it off.
So he was sleeping while you were
having contractions and stuff.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
I can bring one of the boys to drive if you need.
And I was like, no, no, no.
My goodness, Meg.
Did he at least see the actual birth?
He was up and awake.
Yes, I had to have an emergency this area,
so he was after that.
Oh, god, you poor thing.
So it was quite a traumatic birth as well.
OK, let's go to Carly.
Oh, he had him to the edge.
We didn't find out if we won the game or not.
Oh, Clint, I don't think that matters, to be honest.
Meg was about to.
It sounds like it was a bit of a nail biter.
Carly, what were you, you were in Labour when they were...
So I was in Labour in the middle of getting an epidural,
so fully naked.
A dad walks in, who I'm not close with
and didn't know he was coming and was like,
yelled out, has she not carved yet?
And it was real gross.
And then the midwife was like, how no?
And kicked him out.
Yeah, midwives are really good with that, by the way.
If you get a good midwife, normally you don't have to tell the parents
or the family members or the people that have been inappropriate
or shouldn't be there to get out. They'll do it for you.
What a piece of work.
Yeah, but also like, he shouldn't be able to walk out they'll do it for you. What a piece of work. Yeah but also like,
he shouldn't be able to walk in during the epidural anyway
because those things can go wrong quite quickly.
So like just coming in and yelling.
Ooh!
Yeah it was like, I don't know how he got in
because I always had down not to let anyone in.
Anyone in, clearly.
Oh my god.
The birth plan was not to let dad have an impromptu visit.
Yeah, yeah, make a joke about cows. Thanks Carly.
He was trying to lighten the mood.
I was getting ready to leave the house in active labour, which by the way boys, or if
anybody doesn't know, active labour, you have early labour, which you can kind of breathe
through.
Active labour is like, no, it's like, you're starting to get those like, those moany groans
that you know with labour.
Active labour, when he cut his finger and she had to dress it for him
because he was feeling faint
and she was having contractions two minutes apart.
Unbelievable.
Is it worse than this?
I was in early Labour in the hospital of my second
and he went home to get his Xbox so he could play it.
That's the worst one.
I sort of get like a small console,
like a switch or something, a handheld,
because you were in there for a long time
You could play it every now and then bringing in a console playing you into a TV in the hospital
You're nuts. So you might miss the birth and the time that it takes you to go back
I do I genuinely I know we laugh and joke but like witnessing childbirth
Is one of the most incredible things that you can ever experience if you're lucky enough to human experience
Yeah in your life
Yeah for sure and you're going to gamble missing that
to go and get your Xbox.
To play Tekken or something?
Unbelievable.
The chances of them still being together,
I think, are unbelievably low.
And also, by the way, we haven't even gone through,
like, I think 30% of the techs
that have come through this morning.
So please keep them coming.
We will keep this segment back again, unfortunately.
I know we laugh and stuff,
but it is kinda like in your time of need if your
partner isn't absolutely there for you and is running around your Xbox I just
don't like your chances of that relationship surviving. Yeah.
Ungodly amount of people going through drive-throughs on the way to the
hospital as well. Yeah and I get maybe you cut some of the new dads a bit of
slack because they don't know and then they realize in hindsight they
absolutely dropped the ball. No slack. I have no slack to any new father. It's the first time she's gone through birth too.
And she's, you know, knowing what she's doing.
That's coming from a pregnant lady.
Yeah.
No excuses, absolutely not.
You're smart enough to knock somebody up,
you're smart enough to know that you should be looking after your partner
if they're going through birth.
Yeah.
That's a better message to end on.
That should be in the book, right at the end.
