This is a podcast from Rover.
If this podcast was a person, it would be banned from family gatherings.
Oh, piss off, Uncle John.
This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Warning, this show contains fake tan, real regrets, and one Australian hostage situation.
It's the It's Breakfast.
Clint Ming and Dan with Ash London.
Morning, it is bang on 1 to 6.
Morena.
Good to be here.
I just need to do a quick little test, guys.
I've got a couple of channels that aren't working, so...
One is, what about this one?
Nah, Channel 1 Fader is dead, thank you, Producer Carl.
What does that mean?
It means that we can't play anything off Channel 1.
It means that we just have to talk for three hours.
No ads, no songs.
What it means is normally, if I need to run two things at once, I can't anymore.
Quite often he struggles with that anyway, that isn't it?
Producer Carl, yeah.
Usually, when there's something wrong, you'd like to yell and abuse to the engineers.
Is there anything you'd like me to pass on?
You need...
Not until they haven't been able to fix it.
Got it.
Yeah, I'd like to give them at least one go.
Keep it pretty straight and then swear at them.
Yeah, yeah.
From Clint, got it.
And tell them that I have a bit of power in this place
and if it doesn't get fixed by about 7 a.m., heads will roll.
Dan, swinging his dick, got it.
Heds will roll.
Swank, whoa, the lights are on.
There we go.
Yeah.
This is NEPIA's band.
In case you're wondering, everybody.
Neapier, our producer, he's off sick.
He was starting to sound sick yesterday, and I thought,
please stay home tomorrow. I'm so glad he did.
Oh, really?
His cough was meaty.
Meaty.
You know what? It's like, meaty.
I was like, ha.
Yeah.
Yeah, but I mean, I don't know how Nipia feels about this.
Like, this, yeah, this is his band.
But the lead singer's name is Sam Cullen.
So it's called the Sam Cullen band.
Yeah, it's got a change.
It's very like, it's my band.
You guys are in it as well.
Sam Cullen and the Nipias or something.
Yeah, but like, even if all that aside, it's not a cool name for a band to
have the name band.
Or just call yourself Sam Cullen.
That's cool.
Does a person's name is the band?
That's cool.
Okay.
You know what I mean?
Produce car, you've got a suggestion.
Well, I made a suggestion that you turned out into an acronym
because it's Sam Cullen and Bamb, which is scab.
But he didn't like that.
Yeah.
Remember how many scabs you'd have as a kid because you fell over so often?
Don't get scabs anymore.
I just stuck my toe.
That was the issue.
Always stubborn my toe.
Not really proper, big, thick ones.
Yeah, like on your knee, would cover your whole knee.
And every day, just pick a bit more of the scabble.
Yeah, you would literally pick it, and then as soon as you'd done it, you're like, shouldn't have done that.
Should have gone.
Should it go white and then start again.
Yeah.
Play something off Channel 1.
Go on.
Okay.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Okay.
Well, let's see if this works.
Yep.
Seed.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Not about to jump into your 6 a.m. throwback.
Dan just said to me, oh, what are we got?
And I was like, well, it looks like somebody's chucked in the BSB.
Come on, which song.
Not like everybody.
Backstress back.
I'm not like a proper one.
What is it?
Oh, it's everybody, isn't it?
Everybody by the backstreet boys.
It's fine.
What's your disdating for everybody?
I know.
It's just, that seems to be the go-to.
Yeah, yeah.
Remember when we played Shape of My Heart
and it made our best show ever that day.
Let's be honest, everybody is a banger.
It is a great song.
It is a banger.
It's just the go-to.
Like, there are so many other ones.
This one I remember, like, learning a dance
with the entire school at Intermediate.
Don't lie, say you're in intermediate.
You know it was like with your mates when you were 21.
No.
At the house when I said, hey boys, let's, guys, I've got the best idea.
Let's learn it back.
There's five of us.
There are five backstreet boys.
And it's like, bags being Nick.
And we're going to learn the dance.
And then Camantire, you film.
You film.
Okay, if I had to try and timestamp this then,
I would have been about 11 or 12 in Intermediate.
So let's go back.
28 years?
It's 99, I think.
Yeah, okay.
It was many years ago.
I've just been Googling the Backstreet Boys for a bit of news.
Guess where they're performing.
You don't Google now.
You'll never guess where they're performing this week.
They're doing a one-off show.
Latvia.
No.
Close.
Am I the same type?
Continent?
You're in the same sort of vibe, I guess.
You've had your guess, London, Clint.
Sydney.
No, it's not, I said Latvia and he's had the right vibe.
But he says it'll never get a star.
Kazakhstan.
Isn't that incredible?
Yeah, they're playing in Kazakhstan.
I wouldn't say Kazakhstan or Latviera.
Yeah, well, exactly.
No, but like...
His job is shocking, so Ash, I was just like, I'm going to go to Aussie.
Quite niche, you know, places you'd never think that the Backstreet Boys would be.
I thought you'll never guess meaning I could fly there this weekend and go see them.
No.
97.
They have announced that they're going to be doing more shows at the sphere next year, Clint,
so that your dream of taking a whole load of listeners to Vegas to see the Backstreet Boys could still happen.
How do we make that happen, but when I'm on the show?
Yeah.
Don't know when Meg's here.
She's just got a baby.
She can't go with you guys.
Meg also loves the Backstreet Boys.
Maybe you two could battle it out.
No, as if I would battle it out.
I'd be like, you go Meg, obviously.
It's her show.
What was they going to say?
Not's not going.
Isn't that incredible?
Kazakhstan.
Then they're playing in Austria, which is a little bit less.
Of all, if there was like a list of places the Backstreet Boys were popular,
I would have thought Kazakhstan would be fairly low down the list.
I mean, they're popular everywhere.
That's the joy.
of the backstreet boys, everybody was into
them. Yeah. Now, here's the
problem, Ash, and I've almost done this deliberately.
I've been playing Backstreet Boys
in the background during the chat, so then to go
into it, it feels like we've played it already now.
Played the song, so... So what's the second
option? I mean,
we've done it before. We can do it again.
Yes, thank God, thanks.
He already had it ready to go.
I've got everything ready to go, just in case.
It so...
It's my soul and my lady part. It's so...
The battery boys throwback.
Clint Meg and Dan.
It is your seat in.
Throwback on the edge.
Clint McGon Dan with Ash to London.
Sorry about that.
By the way, spa full of stars, seven and eight.
Bloody close.
It's going on.
Surely today, it's about a couple of days now
where it's just been one more person left to go.
Someone's going to win a $45,000 spa.
And they're going to invite us over.
Do you know what I...
Yeah.
Oh, I've got a spa if you want to come over.
I've been nude and Clint's spa before.
Stop flirting with me. Oh my God.
Yeah.
He's got a good spin.
Well, yeah, I've seen it.
They're the best.
Seven o'clock, you've got to get your hands on one.
I know there are some people saying, I've got it, I've got it.
I just got to get through.
Whether you actually do have it or not, who knows,
because you haven't said what you thought the last hour is,
but I feel like it's getting close.
If I come to your spa, will Jamie make cocktails?
Oh, yes, yes.
Jamie will make cocktails?
She does a good prawn cocktail as well.
Oh, my gosh.
I love a prawn cocktail.
Will there be snacks as well, like hors d'oeuvres and cocktails?
That's what you would like.
If I say, oh, I'm a bit hungry, what will she do?
do.
Quite a demanding guest, isn't she, Ash, London?
Yes, I don't realize that.
If you want me in a bikini in your
present, then I need snacks and drinks.
Oh, it costs.
Exactly. I don't just dish this out for nothing.
Come on.
Dishing out, eh?
We were talking before the show, actually,
Ash and I, I don't know if you were involved in this chat,
Clint, about a thing
that I thought this was a very
New Zealand thing that would happen at primary
school. Blown my mind. And I'd love
to hear from people on the text
machine, 33433,
If you did this
If you witnessed at primary school
Someone being naughty
Or doing something bad
You would do this sound
Amam mum mum mum mum mum
Now I thought that was a very New Zealand thing
But apparently it happens in Australia
But with a twist
So when Dan tabled this
And he started doing his
Well let's reenact it
When you go
And I'll do what I did in you know
Okay so I'm
I'm going to steal
The teacher's whiteboard markers
Yeah
Okay
I'm picking them up right now from the thing.
And then if it was Australia, we'd go,
Amma!
We say Amma and you say Amma, ma, ma, ma.
So it's crossed the deck.
Yeah, but is it?
It's being lost in translation.
It's been lost in translation.
I don't know.
Where did it start?
Did it start in New Zealand?
And then we were like, oh, too hard.
Just take all the syllables.
Amma.
Or do they start with us?
And you were like, too simple.
What if someone did something like great on, like, say, a skateboard?
Would you go, oh, it's a.
No
Ozes
Ozes!
Yes! I remember that
We've never had Oozers
And what about bro?
He's the mantis.
The mantis!
What?
You have the mantis?
No, didn't have any of this shit!
Oh my God!
The mantis!
I remember that.
If someone called you the mantis,
you were like, damn.
I think Stan Walker tried to carry it on a little bit
during his like judging of...
Yeah!
I think he did it a couple of times
when he was the judge of X Factor.
He'd go, that was the mantis.
But I don't.
died a slow death after that.
I'm trying to think.
What we would say
if someone did a sick thing.
It was just the ultimate, like, compliment,
I think, where you're like,
that guy wants to be my best friend.
No.
No?
We don't have any of that,
but just amma.
Yeah, no one's text through saying
that they do it, so maybe it is.
I mean, haven't done the Amma Mum thing
in a long time.
Yeah.
It was very primary school.
I remember it being very primary school.
So, yeah, it's crazy that it was.
Maybe we can put up a list.
If you can remember,
and we'll work out where the crossover is at.
For Aussie in New Zealand
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast
First Call of the Day
First Call of the Day
She works as a nurse
At the local hospital in Toonga
She drives a Mazda Demio
Once the most stolen car
In New Zealand
She's a mum of two
Kids, four and eight
She's a Scorpio and she once broke her nose
Carleen good morning
She's a mum of two
Kids
By the way
Laying kids
It could be dogs or cats
That is true
Because we would pay that
Yeah we would
Carleen morning
Good morning
Good morning
Did I get all your
Sorry darling
No no I was just going to say
Is all the information correct
Yes it is
Okay good
And what are you doing this morning
At this early hour my love
I'm driving to work
Okay
Do you love what you do?
I actually do
That's cool
I believe it
So you work as a nurse
At a local hospital
Are you in the emergency room
Or are you just doing like
Normal nurse stuff
No
I'm on the wards
They're normal nurse stuff.
Every time I go to the hospital, I haven't been heapsed.
You know, like when I had my baby, it's a couple of surgeries.
The whole time I'm there, I'm just like, I start off by being like,
God, nurses are the best.
He does the best.
And then I start to get angry that the doctors get paid more than the nurses
because the nurses do all the work.
Yeah.
They're doing everything.
The doctor glides on in for one minute.
But having the nurses, no offense, Colleen,
having the nurses cut their study short.
Oh, clench now, come on.
The nurses have continued.
to study with real life
studying on the front line.
That's my ignorance there. That's your ignorance.
My wife used to work in healthcare
and she would say that
quite often, and you'd probably agree with me,
Carleen, that the nurses sometimes
know more than the doctors. They come in there
and they'll go, what, the doctor said that? No, this
is your issue. And they're quite often
right. Oh, doctors must love that
when they come back to their patient and they'll be like,
well actually Charlene said that I probably
don't have that either. Anyway.
Is any of that ringing true?
They're probably listening, so I probably shouldn't say, I shouldn't agree.
Yeah, no, she does.
She does.
Some of the nurses have been there for a very long time, and they're great, and the doctors are great too.
And there's nothing worse than a little upstart doctor that's been in the game for a year.
Yeah, and you're a nurse for like 20 years, and you've seen some stuff.
Once when I was in hospital, I'd have a blood test, and I'd be in hospital for like five days.
And a doctor comes in to be like, oh, I'm going to draw bloods.
and the look on the nurse's face
when the doctor said he was going to draw bloods,
she stood behind him and looked at me like,
wide-eyed, like, this going to be bad.
Stay in your late.
Carlene, when I tell you, it was 10 minutes
and there was blood pouring down my arm
and he couldn't get any blood into the needle.
And in the end, my husband had to be like,
I think maybe you should stand back
and let a nurse do it.
And I was like, what a power play.
Kelly, what is the difference between,
if you were going, right, I want to be a doctor now,
is there a certain amount of time
and is there a certain expense involved in doing that?
What is the procedure?
What do you mean?
Like going from being a qualified nurse to a qualified doctor.
It's completely different field.
I think you start again.
You have to go right back.
There's no transferable skills.
There would be transferable skills
but as far as a medical degree,
it would be different to a nursing degree.
You've got to go right back to the start.
Yeah.
Yeah, they don't go, oh, you're a good nurse.
Okay, just one more year.
Okay, yeah, but in my defence,
if I have a bachelor and say, communications,
I can go and do...
I'm made up a degree.
You're going to teach you how to talk to people.
I don't even do that, really.
No, but I have a bachelor's communication,
so I can now study for one year and be a teacher.
But if you want to be a teacher...
That is very different.
No, but if you want to be a teacher,
you have studied three years.
So I can use my weirdly non-transferable skills of just, of radio,
and all of a sudden I skip two years of teaching.
It doesn't seem...
That doesn't seem right, but it's also completely irrelevant to Kaleen
and being a nurse and not a doctor, isn't it?
No, there's surely more transferable skills
a nurse to a doctor than a doctor.
than a radio host to a teacher,
and yet I can transfer my skills
and only do one year of study.
Let's just remember this day,
mark it down, producer Carl is the day
that Clint compared his communications degree
to a medical doctor degree.
Let's just do that.
It was 626 Tuesday morning.
Honestly, there's no point having analogies
when you guys can't understand them.
So, Carlin, who drops your four-year-old
at Kendi when you go off to your partner do that?
Are you just riding the juggle?
Yeah, yeah.
His dad takes him to Kendi.
That's amazing.
What a good father.
Well, thanks so much for your call.
What a day.
And also, Carl,
local hospital.
Hospital isn't spelled H-O-S-P-A-T-I-L.
Okay, Clint.
We already sound dumb.
Sorry, Dr. Clint.
I'll fix that right away.
Stat.
He has a communications degree.
He knows how to spell.
All right.
The whole first year of that degree, spelling.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Entertainment.
Clit megan Dan with Ash London.
The Emmys happened yesterday.
Generally, you don't really care about award shows anymore because, and there are less of them.
Remember, when there used to be so many, we'd get like the billboards, the VMAs, the Grammys,
and then we get the Emmys, the Golden Globe.
And it's just like, who freaking cares?
What are they all for?
Yeah, too much.
I think people care less now, and now there's just fewer of them, which is good.
So the Emmys happened yesterday, which is the TV Oscars, pretty much.
Which is actually now probably almost more important than the Oscars, because nowadays it's like more.
common for a Hollywood
A-lister to do a Netflix TV series.
Think about it. 20 years ago, like Brad Pitt
or Nicole Kimman, they were not doing television.
But now all the money is in TV series.
The Emmys are a little bit more fun as well.
Not a series.
They don't take them as serious as the Oscars.
It's a little bit more banter.
So we all watched adolescents on Netflix,
which was a harrowing watch,
but it was all four parts
and all shot in one take.
So it was like no edit points.
It was like a play.
They had to blur,
their lines and deliver them in
one hour. Am I right in saying like
I think the most takes they took
was like one episode like 13 takes or something?
Yeah there was one episode one of the episodes
I think it may be episode three
it was the first take so they did
it the first take and that's what's in the show
and then all the other ones were. They shot more where they used
the first one and the episode three was
Owen Cooper who's the kid and
the psychologist and it was a conversation
in like an
interrogation room of a jail
it was one conversation for 40 minutes.
So you can imagine learning those lines,
having to deliver them.
If in minute 38 you make a mistake,
we have to start again.
And do you know the crazy thing
that maybe you didn't realize
I'd overthink everything in the scene
because I'd be like, oh my God,
they're doing this in one take.
At one point he throws his hot chocolate
or whatever across the table
and they realized that when the camera
was walking around,
eventually it started getting sticky
and you could hear his feet
and you'd start seeing footprint.
So when they did it the next time,
someone had to go around
And while the camera's panning, someone's mopping and cleaning it out.
Crazy.
Well, Owen Cooper was 14 years old when they shot this.
And he has just become the youngest ever male Emmy winner.
He got Best Supporting Actor.
And this is his speech.
Standing up here is just, wow, it's just so surreal.
Honestly, when I started these drama classes a couple years back,
I didn't expect to be even in the United States, never mind here.
But tonight proves that if you're,
if you listen and you're focused
and you step out your comfort zone
you can achieve anything in life
So sweet darling
So he'd done some like fun acting classes
After school
But he'd never actually acted in anything
He needs to stop doing acting classes
He doesn't need them
Like if you watch that show
Here's the most natural actor
I've ever seen in terms of just raw talent
He doesn't need anything
Amazing amazing
The next one I want to talk about
Is Stephen Colbert
Obviously we know his show has been
cancelled after pressure
from the Trump administration.
He won the Emmy for our most outstanding talk series
and absolute standing ovation,
had his whole team on stage.
And I think the ending of his speech,
what he said here is so poignant.
He could have got up there and been like,
America's going hell.
We need to fight for our nation.
But instead he said this,
which I think was so beautiful.
Sometimes you only truly know how much you love something
when you get a sense that you might be losing it.
And 10 years later,
in September of 2025, my friends, I have never loved my country more desperately.
God bless America.
Stay strong, be brave, and if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher
floor.
He is such a classy, classy man, and he's so intelligent and gracious, I think, is a great word.
One of his best rants ever was when New Zealand were looking to change our national flag.
And, you know, there was the Kiwi with the laser beam eyes
And it was in like the top five or something
I wish we'd got that one
And he was just having a field day
Like laughing
But with us as well
Because he realised that a lot of New Zealanders
Found it ridiculous
And it was just such a great
Like four or five minute bit
That he did on our whole country
He's so smart
And I think we can all agree
Like this isn't the end for him
Like the outpoint has been so great
Netflix will chuck him some money
Or one of those streaming services
and I think it will make it more accessible
like if he has more power
because when you work for a network
as we've learned now there is certain constraints
you have to kind of sit within
but when you're on a streaming service
and he would be the executive producer
yada yada yada it would just be even freer
because how many of us have actually watched
the show outside of social media
in New Zealand you yeah I don't think you can
but it's all focused on social media now
but you're right if he pops up on Netflix
all of a sudden the world discovers
Stephen Colby and the talent that he is
Yeah, and we're not just watching, like, one-minute social clips,
but we're actually watching full episodes.
So, yeah, I had more grabs, but I think that's enough Emmys for now.
Yeah, good on.
Good on, everyone.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
It's time for naughty, 640.
Oh.
So I am currently reading a book by Lucy's score called Story of My Life.
Dan, could you please explain the front cover?
Just do you know a vibe?
It's a lovely.
It looks lovely.
So it's like a sort of a painting of a blue sky
with a little red bike with flowers and a basket at the front of it.
And then it's just got Story of it.
my life in front of it. And it's all these clouds
and it's like a blue. Yeah, it looks lovely. It kind of
gives you the vibe of like big city girl moves to
a cute little small town. Emily and
Paris vibe. Yeah, but like in a
yeah, yeah, yeah. But so
this is the thing with a lot of romance novels these days.
They're set in small towns.
So it's like
cozy and cozy and cute
with like a cast of gorgeous little characters
and beautiful little homes and then
something happens. Oh boy.
Dan, you said you've never like read
a naughty novel or anything.
Well, I'd be interested to know for someone like me
that's never dabbled in smut.
Where's a good entry point?
Because the most I've got to is my reading.
I'm not telling him.
If you don't know, mate, then I ain't telling you.
That's something between you and your mum, maybe.
You got to figure out.
I mean your mum should be telling you these things, not me.
Yes.
The closest I've got is Harry Potter when Hermione and Ron start sort of getting a bit hansy.
Okay.
There's a whole world out there for you.
I would say a good entry, like a gateway drug, would be Emily Henry.
So a lot of her books are being currently made into films and TV shows
because it's like hers would be like 95% rom-com.
So like great banter, interesting plot developments, great characters.
And then you might get one or two scenes.
And usually they come towards the end because it's like you've been waiting for it.
And most of these romance novels, it's all about the want.
You're just desperate for them to finally.
You're grazing around the bird.
That's the problem, Dan, when we wrote Smart.
Straight to the good bit.
Yeah, I think we keep blowing their clothes off as quickly as possible.
Okay, so I'm going to read, this is from page 279 of Lucy Scores story of my life.
It's a shame.
Hazel's a romance novelist, and she moves to a small town.
And Cam, who is a very large, big hunk of a man, is her contractor.
Some would say it's pretty straight up, you know, a storyline taken out of a porno.
Okay.
Are you ready with the bleeps for me, darling?
I don't know.
I want to trust Clint with beeps.
That's okay.
It felt so damn good that my head fell back
and a wimpery kind of moan ripped free from my throat.
Look at me, Hazel, he repeated,
notching the...
Against my...
When I did, I locked eyes with him.
Cam gripped my hips and yanked me forward onto his...
The sudden invasion had my eyeballs rolling back in my head
as I gripped his...
I don't think I can actually read anymore.
I think I was going to get through more of that,
but it already feels wrong.
Eye balls rolling into the back of your head.
That seems like expert level, that one.
I think I need to scale it back slightly.
I think Emily Henry will be good for you.
And can I just say this?
It's really good, I think, for women to read this sort of stuff
because for so long we have been told
that sexual desire is something that men can have
because it's like part of their nature.
But women have needs to,
but we also need story around.
And for the most part, I think we need to really be like emotionally attacked to the characters.
I mean, I think if you want to make money and writing these days, smart is the way to go.
It's like blown up exponentially.
Yeah.
And if you see someone on the train reading this book, there's two people.
There's either someone who's read the book and they're like, yeah, girl.
Or it's someone who's never read the book and they're like, she's reading a book about a girl who makes pottery.
Does, do those types of books give you a distorted view of the average length of a man?
Absolutely.
And that's my one problem with them is that all of the men are very well endowed.
And the girls are like, oh, it's so.
But I don't think in real life that's something that women think about or care about all they want.
There's a niche.
We could explore, Clint.
We can start writing average or very small, like micro penis stuff.
No, no, no.
We don't want micro, but just like average.
Oh, yeah, okay.
We don't invest in.
Oh, so these books can fly off the shelves.
Just give me 500 bucks.
I'll get it started.
Yeah, okay, cool.
over here from him again.
Yeah, yeah.
Clint, megan, Dan.
Oh, my God.
The edge is the spa.
Hi.
Yo.
He's the...
Morning, it's one bar seven on your Tuesday.
We're getting close.
We're getting very close.
Are we?
We've been saying that for a couple of days now,
and still no one has guessed the final star in the spa.
All right, here it is.
Hopefully for the final time.
It's getting hot in here.
If you can tell us,
who is saying here
and hopefully you've done your homework
and you know who the first four are already
because you should
we have a $45,000 spa pool
in the courtyard that is yours
because even if you guess the fifth
name correctly
if you get the other four in the wrong order
we can't give you the spa
and then someone else is going to just
and you want to get off you
I mean Dan's going to put his clothes back on
and come back inside
he's so desperate to get naked all the time
he's like guys stop forcing me
I will jump in the spa
if someone guesses it
you're right Dan
I'm right guys
I'm right by the spark pool.
Oh, it's so warm.
It's so light.
I'd love to jump in.
I'm ready to jump in nude.
Well, you can't jump in nude because this is a workplace
and we don't want you getting fired.
Melanie is hoping you jump in and celebrate with her.
And she is one spot for which is this morning.
Melody, good morning.
Good morning.
How are you?
I'm doing very well.
How exciting for you.
You've got an opportunity right now.
Sorry.
Can you hear down's deep breathing?
Yeah, mate.
It's like a 50 metre walk outside.
Oh, can you hear the Jets?
You're about there going now.
We can hear you panting.
Turnies lying down.
The deep breathing in my headphones is making me uncomfortable.
All right, Melanie, five names.
If you can name all of the stars in the spa, it's yours.
What are you got?
Okay, I've got Billy Eilish, Host Malone, Russell Crow, Abreu-Bean and Sean Mendez.
My fantastic guest, Melanie.
Yeah, he hasn't been guest.
He's a sweetheart.
He does down here.
He does have that kind of here, like nasal-ish voice.
Dan, you're in position just in case.
I'm ready.
I've taken my shoes off.
Pants are still on, but they can be removed in seconds.
Well, you might want to chuck them back on
because you have correctly named four stars in the correct spot.
You're missing one, Melanie.
Shulmendez is not the star and the spa we're looking for.
Okay, that's right.
Love you, Melanie.
Thanks for calling through babes and playing.
Day.
Oh, bad.
Yeah, it's hard to get through.
I can't handle the deep breathing from Jen.
Why is the breathing so deep?
I think it's because the microphone's right near my nose.
I think it's because you're on bit.
Okay.
It's like,
Hey, it's about a 50 metre walk from the studio
to the spa pool, guys, okay?
And I ran.
Okay, Dan, you need to get back in here ASAP
because I know how much you love Taskmaster.
And the final episode of this season
Taskmaster is on tonight.
We've got one of the stars joining us on the show,
but before they arrive,
I'm going to be putting you and Ash
through a task of your own.
I love tasks.
Okay, I'm a little bit puff, so give me a second.
Yeah, okay.
I can literally see the spa from here.
It's really not far and I've been very puffed.
We are all big fans of Taskmaster here on the show.
TVNZ Plus, if you want to check it out.
I've never seen it.
I love it.
I'm a foreigner, though, so it's fine.
I've seen all the social clips.
Hold on, it's not a New Zealand show.
It's worldwide, I even think there's an Australian version.
Yeah.
Well, the very last episode is on here tonight for this season.
Who knows, might be back.
We're all championing Dan to be on next season.
Oh, guys, if you're listening, put him on.
He's so funny and talented.
Oh, her words as well.
That's right.
She loves Taskmaster.
She'd know.
Big fan.
Watch the AirPurns, never missed one.
Well, Jack Anseer is a hilarious character and just general person on Taskmaster.
this latest season.
He's going to be on the show shortly.
Before he comes in,
I've got my own task for you two.
There is an Indian boy
that looks all of about maybe 13, 14.
Who can add up numbers
at an incredible rate?
Take a listen to this.
Time starts as soon as he sees the first number
and finishes
when he inputs the total sum
of all 100 numbers.
He's using the software
that randomly generates
104-digit numbers
at a specified
speed. In order to beat the minimum
set for this record, he needs to complete
one edition every 0.5 seconds
might be able.
Stop.
Let's come back.
30 seconds, 0.900 milliseconds.
Congratulations.
So you imagine he's seeing numbers in the
1,000, so like 4,612.
And half a second later, he's seeing
2,964.
So they're big numbers.
Yeah, like four digit numbers every
half a second, he gets through
a hundred of them in 30 seconds
and then he has the correct answer. I say one thing about that.
What a freak. What a freak.
Obviously very smart.
Is that a waste of time spending
all that energy doing something that's not going to push us
forward? Put him in a lab and
get him to cure cancer. Oh but he's probably not good
at that. He's probably just good at more like addition.
You know, that's not okay. You guys are going to do
the same thing but with a slight tweak
you will have 30 seconds to add
as many numbers as you can in that time.
but they will be single-digit numbers,
not four-digit numbers.
Can I just preface that I was in a booster math class at high school
and I sat next to a kid that used to go,
every like 10 seconds.
And I grew up in Asia,
which many people say is the home of the math nerds.
And I was in the most advanced class in my Asian school.
Get it, girl.
Yeah, look, I'm generally pretty good at maths.
But I'm setting myself, I'm setting myself to fail right now.
I don't get a man.
High tide rises all boats, so you and all of Asia.
They literally pulled me up with them.
Yeah, okay.
And then when I moved back to Australia, we're touring on the schools,
and I'd go to a school, like, not enough Asians.
I can't stop all my people.
Stop talking yourself up, London.
Let's put your money where you're mouth.
I've got a 30-second timer.
I'm going to, at random, just say, a bunch of single-digit numbers.
You're going to hit the ding when you want me to give you another one.
I've got producer Lily here with a calculator who's going to add them up
and then work out if you're right or wrong.
Here we go.
Okay, we're going to start with the number five.
Yep.
And we're going to add six.
Yep.
Four, three, nine, eight, two, six, seven, seven, seven, three, five, eight, two, five, six, nine, two, nine, two, nine, two, two, two, two.
Three. Five. Four.
Time. 116.
Producer Lily?
She said, oh, she's off.
170.
She's off.
She's off.
You're one number off.
So all I need to do is get an accurate answer and I beat her.
Okay.
No, but I did so many numbers.
He won't get that many numbers.
10, starting, here we go at five.
I want to go again.
Come in my bell.
I'm off this game. I hate this game.
Yeah, but I did so many numbers.
He's going to do like three numbers and go like bang with time.
Here we go.
30 seconds, you start with five.
You need to add nine.
He's using his fingers.
Four.
Seven.
Seven.
Four.
Three.
Eight.
Oh, come on, he's taking so long.
Time.
Okay, no, no, not fair.
He added four numbers.
Dan, what was the total?
I think you'll fine, Clinton.
The total is 46.
Producer Lily is 47.
So you're both one number.
No, we're equal in match.
We're equal, Clint.
It's three times bigger than your number.
Oh, I don't know, Ash.
I think you'll find we're one-off, both of us.
Wow.
There you go.
Who knew?
Who knew?
I am so angry that I didn't get that.
I'm going to find it hard to continue for the rest of the show.
Let's get a replay before this break where Ash was going,
I could be in Mansa.
I had trained in Asia.
I am perfect in every way.
Even Asians think I'm smart.
Yeah.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
I said that, because.
Because I grew up in Asia
so that my pet, I can say that.
Okay, the Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
And we've got a special guest joining us on the show this morning.
The very last episode of one of our favourite TV shows, Taskmaster,
is tonight.
And one of the absolute stars of this year's season is Jack Anset.
Welcome to the show.
Hey, guys, not the very last.
Come on, it could get another season.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I want to be on the next season.
Exactly.
I hope there's a.
You are, Clint, said it.
though, you're one of the stars.
I reckon you are like the breakout sensation of the season.
Oh, the most desperate to make a splash more like it.
No, but you make the most effort.
Thanks, guys.
I mean, I did spend over $1,000 on one task.
What was that?
That was a party trick.
You should have seen it, yes.
And I thought it would be reimbursed by the crew, but no.
I made a Facebook event for my 27th birthday party,
and I invited about 100.
So people to it on Facebook, and the trick part was all of those people knew that the party wasn't real, except for Paul.
Most.
Oh, poor.
You happy with that?
Yeah.
It's an empty hole with a donkey in there.
No, it was like, you had laughter?
Yeah, there was an alpecker, a goat and a donkey, yes, yes, yes.
You go out and do all this without telling production,
then you just think I'll send them an invoice and they'll reimburse that.
Yeah, that's what I thought would happen.
But I think it was a case of like,
if this is what you were to do for your task, mate,
then you can cover it.
Absolutely.
One other thing I've noticed about your time on Taskmaster
is your attire during the tasks is very unique.
I mean, yes, you're just wearing a yellow t-shirt,
but attached to that yellow shirt is feedback welcome
with a number that reads 021-193-783.
Yes.
Is that your real cell phone number?
Yes, it is my real cell phone number.
Well, I have put that sim card into a burner phone
if you were planning on calling it right now or something.
Taskmaster is watched globally.
So I'm getting calls all through the night from the Czech Republic.
Is the Czech Republic watching it?
Yeah, well, one do it is, he keeps calling.
What are people, oh, they want to chat,
or they just like breathing heavily down the line?
Some hang up immediately.
if I answer, but there are people just leaving voicemails being very nice.
Some people talking about my appearance in a negative way.
Any requests for like footpicks or anything?
No, not yet, not yet.
Because I could pay the $1,000 back.
True.
Yeah, they could, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you're going to be on the road, so anyone has enjoyed watching on Taskmaster
can now actually go to one of your live comedy shows over the next couple of months.
Yes, that's correct.
It's yes, in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in November.
Some of the biggest rooms I've ever done.
Come on.
It's scary.
It is very scary.
Is it done and ready to go?
Yeah, it's all happening.
So if there's 10 people there, there's 10 people there.
But it's happening.
So, yeah, please come.
And we will have a good time.
Dan's going to be in the front row.
I will be there every night.
Next to Jack's Mum.
What's the theme of the comedy show?
It's just like the best that I can do.
That's what you can.
He did his best
Yeah, yeah, that's that, so if you don't like it
It's piss off
And you've got a number to call if you don't like it as well
Yeah, exactly, yeah
True, will the number be up there for feedback during the show
Or is that to call for the time?
No, no, I wanted to stop.
That was the worst idea of him, mate.
Yeah, yeah.
Jack Ann said, everybody, last episode on tonight on two
Or you can check it out on TVNZ Plus.
Thanks, bro.
Thanks, guys.
Thanks, mate.
Look forward to seeing you next season, Dan.
Look, I probably won't be on it.
If we've got anything to do with it, you will be Danny Boy?
Oh, yes.
Campaign.
Horror bills are next.
Do you have a horrific bill when you're like, oh my God, how am I going to pay that?
We'll pay it.
Might pay it.
I wish I could pay, oh my gosh, I've got forward to tell you guys.
Yesterday, went to the supermarket after Kendi.
Parked, went in, got our stuff, walked out.
There was a tow truck about to attach a thing to my car,
and I just totally forgot that it was clear away from 4 p.m.
Jump in the driver's seat?
So the guy said, I've already written you're fine.
I'm like, the fine is fine.
As long as I don't have to call my husband standing on Dominion Road in Auckland
to be like, can you come and get me?
Can you find a car seat somewhere?
Supposedly, they can't tow a car if you're in it.
Legally, they're not allowed to tow you when it's used to jump.
You get in the driver's scene and you refuse to get out.
I heard if you always park your car with the wheels at a full lock,
either left or right, they can't tell you as well.
There's a little trick.
Oh, very good.
Especially if your wheels are at the front.
Or just don't park in tollways.
No, but I'm usually really good.
I forgot.
And I googled it.
It's $100.
fine. In Australia, that would be like
$700. So I was nearly crying
and they googled it. I was like, okay, we can't do it.
They'll teach you for parking and handicapped spaces.
It was not a handy, no, no, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
She's been doing it for years.
It was not a hand.
Clint, Megan, Dan. Stinky boo.
Dollar dollar bills, y'all.
Unsure how credit cards work,
learn how credit cards work to make
them work for you at Westpax.
Fear free credit hub. They are
sorting out your horror bill this week.
You can text word bill to 3343 to win.
Ezra's done just there.
Morning, Azra.
Morning, guys.
What's your horror bill you need paid?
Oh, a $900 road user charge bill.
Yeah, goodness me.
Yeah, that is expensive.
That's rough, bags.
That's a load of money.
Well, there's nothing Dan or I can do about that,
but there is something Ash can.
She is going to be blindfolded.
Come on, Ash.
And she's going to put her hand into the mystery box,
and if she can dig around through whatever the mystery item is
and pull out the Westpac credit card, we'll pay it for you, babe.
Okay.
Asra, this is how much I love it.
you because I'm a germaphobe.
I don't even let the boys put deodorant
or any cologne on when I'm in this studio
because I hate smells so much.
Okay.
This is not what I signed up for,
but I love you, Dahl, so I'm going to do it.
We've seen a bit of a clue.
Carl, our producer, who is currently still in the producer booth,
which is a separate room to us,
is wearing a hazmat suit and a gas mask.
It looks scary.
I don't want to be near this.
Did I come from your sex cupboard, Carl?
Maybe.
Yeah, okay, so.
He's loving this.
Do I just have my rings off?
I've already taken my glasses off.
Yeah, I would.
I would.
I definitely would.
I'm not just being something.
And I've been told by the boss
that I have to stop dry retching on air,
so I'm going to try really hard.
I need to stop doing sequences like this then.
Okay, well, you put the blindfold on,
and then once you can't see anything,
bring in the mystery box.
Okay.
Oh, I hate, I hate this.
Where's my microphone?
I hate this more than I can describe.
Okay, it's being wielded on a trolley.
Yuck.
Okay.
I don't even know how we got this.
It's now being lifted up onto the desk next to Ash London, who hates germs.
Okay, Ash, you're going to have to wriggle over to your left a little bit.
She's going to put her hand in this mystery box, and if she pulls out the credit card,
Azra's $900 bills paid.
I feel like I'm going to faint.
Okay, the hole is right in front of you, Ash.
No, don't do that.
Put your hand through.
She's in.
It's for Ez. It's for Azera.
I don't like it.
I don't want to do this.
What I wouldn't do, I wouldn't do it.
Yeah, I wouldn't touch it and then put your hands back on yourself.
Okay.
Maybe breathe through your nose, Ash.
It might help.
Don't.
Is my hand, am I hovering on it?
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, no, is it alive or is it just gross?
Okay, her hand is now hovering over it.
She's touched.
It smells like the zoo.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, no, no, no, I don't want to do it anymore.
It's a $900 bill.
Come on.
Where's the card, Carl?
Can you just tell me where the card is so I can not...
I don't want a fosic.
It's in the bottom.
I think it's in the bottom.
The whole point of this is you need to put your hand in.
It's reachable.
Yuck!
What is this?
Sorry, I didn't warm it up.
Just take a deep breath and shove your hands.
There's nobly bits in it.
Yuck, yuck, yuck!
Producer Lillie's left of studio.
Where is the car?
Oh!
Yuck!
Where is this?
Can you tell me where the card is come?
Do you go deeper or?
Yeah, you're deeper.
People had just turned in over the hell was going on.
What is it so good?
If you have just joined us.
I don't want to, can you just tell me where it is?
You're close.
Okay.
Ash is digging around a mystery box to find the card.
It's too hard because there's so many textures in there that I can't find the card.
Just dig around.
Just try not to get any of it under your nails.
Oh my God.
Through the top of the box.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Her hand is covered.
and what she's just digging.
I can't reach it.
Oh my hands are black.
Oh my God, her hands are black.
Oh my God, her hands are black.
All right, we're all going with both hands in.
Oh, God.
Oh, God, I can hear the spelching.
It smells like the zoo.
It smells like the zoo.
God, does you not put a credit card in here?
No, the credit card's definitely in there.
Hey, Carl.
She's going to find it, Ezra.
Car.
So sorry, I really can't find it.
Okay.
Get the, I need the thing off my head.
I need the thing off my head.
We're gonna give you a timer.
Okay.
So I'm just, I'll just, I'll just have to go through it with my headphones.
10 seconds.
Nine.
What the hell?
Eight.
Seven.
No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
No, I'll find it.
I'll find it.
I'll find it.
There's no credit card in there, is there?
No, it's definitely there.
I think we'll run out of time.
No, don't.
You probably pushed it away.
Don't, don't do, please, please.
I don't want to lose for Azra.
I mean, it would be a shame.
I got it.
I got it.
Okay, I'm gonna pay it.
I got it. I got it.
My hands are covered in what I think may actually be manure.
Yeah, it's rhino poo.
Yeah, rhino feces.
Thank you very much to the Auckland Zoo as well.
We really appreciate you.
Is that really?
It's rhino feces.
And let us just hammer home that Ash hates germs.
Look at it just with it all up her hands.
Is that really?
That's not really, is it?
Well, well done.
Thanks to Westpac, $900 your road user charges have been paid.
We'll let you get back on hold and you can sit time.
We get your pink account number.
Is that really?
No, it's not.
It definitely is not poo.
It smells like shit.
I'm just saying that to be nice.
It's shit.
Are you serious?
No, are you serious?
No, are you serious?
Yeah, yeah.
That is absolutely.
Absolutely being disgusting.
I didn't know.
Are you serious?
Let's just wrap this up, hey?
Okay, should I go to a break?
I'm not doing a radio bit.
Are you serious?
We can have this conversation off here.
You guys can get in the event.
No, that's where the poo's going.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Hey, we're about to get into the Gen Z quiz.
Our web girl baller is 24 and we once a week educate her on things that happened outside of her generation.
She has yet to ever post a perfect score of five from five.
It could be this week, and we're doing famous TV and movie deaths.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, so because, you know, like, especially back in the day,
every good TV series had one of the main people die at some point.
Asch's put together these questions, and there's some iconic deaths.
I'm not going to like on iconic things.
This is symbolic because if you get all these right, the segment dies,
we never have to do it again.
Ah, true.
Okay.
Let's get into it.
And it's multiple choice as well.
Okay.
First question, Bella.
How did Marissa die in the OC?
Was it A
It's a cold and it's a blow
Oh, no, I'm sorry
Very sad
Okay, okay, okay, I'm going to get a help, okay?
Was it A house fire?
B, a car accident
Or C, she fell off a balcony?
Was she the main character?
Yeah, she was wonderful.
Because I watched a bit of it, obviously,
Okay, okay, okay, yeah, I don't remember her dying though, so.
Yeah, she dies at the end of the series.
It's giving fire correctly, I want to say a house fire.
Oh, my gosh.
Man, what a way to go.
She's been alive as a car accident.
I made it, I made it multiple choice for you.
Okay.
Okay, so she can't get a perfect score.
It was, in fact, a car accident.
If a house fire, if he rescued her from a house,
but her skin will be singed and burning, she'd be like,
Ah!
Okay, question two.
Okay, next is the iconic film My Girl.
Thomas Jay dies in one of the most traumatic movies of all time.
Here's some audio.
He's okay, isn't he?
There were just too many of them.
The question is, too many what?
A, bees, two, uh,
B, snakes, or C, zombies.
Oh.
Too many, what, bees, snakes or zombies?
I want to say zombies.
Oh my gosh.
You were kidding me.
My girl, and he died from zombies?
How did he die from bees?
He was allergic to bees things, obviously, and he stepped on a beehive.
Come on, Bella.
Please.
I thought the most murderous thing is they'd bite to the zombie.
She did say bees.
She just was a zombie for it.
It's like The Walking Dead and all of the zombie movies I've seen.
Does my girl sound like a zombie film?
No.
Can she at least get three from five?
I was like, you've thrown in just like a sitter of.
It's obviously not that.
Navella's going, that's probably.
Okay, maybe play the audio for this one first.
Okay.
Confused about how this world.
Sounds like hospital.
Yeah, flatline.
We can never hear this song chasing cars without remembering Derek Shepard,
aka McDreamy's death and Grey's Nass.
Yeah.
He had an epidural hematoma caused by what?
Oh, give her the multiple choices?
A.
A car crash.
B, plane crash or C, knocked to the head playing football.
A, a car crash.
Oh, thank God.
I do know that one.
She's got one.
I've seen it and I stopped watching when he died.
Okay.
So did a lot of here.
You know, it's still going.
Gosh.
Okay, next up.
In the final season of Dawson's Creek,
Jen, played by Michelle Williams
dies of a congenital what condition
A, lung, B, brain, C, heart
Congenital heart, surely?
She's got it.
She's got a girl one, okay, you're two from four,
this next one is from past.
For extra points, who does she leave her child to?
Her gay best friend or Dawson?
Jack, her best friend.
Oh, Jack.
Oh, God, she's good.
She knows her Dawson's.
Okay, and final question.
In Seinfeld,
George's fiancé Susan dies before their wedding.
In this clip, which you're about to hear, the doctor tells George, what was she expected to do?
So, she's dead?
Yes.
Huh.
Let me ask you, had she been exposed to any kind of...
Oh, stop.
There we go.
Okay.
And do I have to answer?
Was it A, nuts in their wedding cake?
Because they were testing the wedding cake.
B.
glue on the wedding invitations
or see toxic paint
in their home renovation.
Nuts, poisonous glue or paint.
I wouldn't know this one.
Okay. I'm leaning towards toxic paint.
You'd think that, but it's B.
She licked all the wedding envelopes
and George was stingy and got the cheap ones
and she died from licking all the cheap glue.
Oh, I thought that was a trickle-ish.
It wasn't a chip.
I thought it wasn't going to be the glow.
Well, it was.
You also thought zombies killed the girl of my girls.
It's a two out of five.
Hey, not bad.
It is bad, darling, and I made it an awful choice.
Yeah, and I thank you, because I probably would have gotten zero without you.
I thought zombies, I put that in there to you.
That'll knock zombies out.
I just love zombie stuff, so I went towards us.
Okay.
Clint Megadend.
Leshko.
It's getting hot.
Here.
Someone American, it doesn't sound like a really manly dude to me.
I don't know who it is, but it doesn't sound like a, you know, sportsman or something.
To me, it sounds like.
someone that's like, I don't know, here.
It's a bit nerdy.
You'd be correct, Ash.
Okay, oh, really?
Yeah.
Cool. Okay, so inadvertently giving away a clue.
Love that for us.
Here you go.
Now, Dan, I was so confident at 7
because we're getting so many people to be able to text and going,
I know, I know what it is.
So, okay, cool.
Oh, 800 with you get through.
We can't reply to your text.
Also, we've had people on here say, I know what it is,
and then unfortunately they're being sent back with their packing with their
tail between their legs.
And then some people try and, like, scam us.
And they're like, I know it.
And they pretend that something else with them.
When they get on air, they change their guess or whatever,
and then it's like still wrong.
Yeah, come on, just.
Well, Dan is outside.
He's so confident someone's going to get it.
He said he's going to dive bomb the spa.
I am, guys.
I'm right by the spa, and I'm ready to jump in.
It's 40 degrees.
The jets are on.
I hope that that final star is guessed.
He's desperate to get in that spa despite having no togs,
no change of clothes, no clean underwear.
It's just going to...
I've got clean underwear on.
Yeah, but once you take...
Once you get, unless you're going to go nudie in the spa, which is illegal, and HR will get involved.
You're then going to have wet undies, and you don't want to be put wet undies back on.
One word for you, three syllables.
Commando.
Yeah, but I sit opposite you and you're wearing shorts today, so.
Not my problem.
All right, well, we're going to, oh, they've just gone.
They've dropped off.
Oh, no.
We lost them.
Nicole, we're hanging up.
Imagine if Nicole has it.
Oh, God.
I hope for Nicole.
sake that she didn't have the correct guest ready
to go. Because now we've got Chris.
From Fakitane has just taken Nicole's spot.
Oh my gosh. Imagine that. Nicole
accidentally hanging up is the reason you win a $45,000 spa
or Chris potentially?
Yeah. Oh my gosh.
Please, please, please.
Okay, now you need to give us the other four so I hope you've been
paying attention doing your homework. Can you give us
all five stars in the spa in the correct order?
Oh, yep, yep
So Billy Elish
Yep
Post Malone
Russell Crow
Avril Levine
And I reckon
Zach Efron
Zach Efron has not been guest
In that last spot
Can I hear it again
So I can imagine Zach Efron
It's getting hot in here
Okay
Are you ready, Dan
I'm ready
My kid is on
I'm ready to jump in.
All right, Chris from Fakantane.
You have correctly identified
four stars in the correct spot
and no new star.
Clothes back on, Daniel.
No!
Really?
I'm ready to get in!
I mean, you can still get in if you want to, sweetheart,
but there'll be no celebrating happening today.
But I want to save it.
I want to save it for the moment that it goes.
It's a big moment.
You hear the splash.
You hear the celebration.
Everybody loves it.
That keeps coming to this studio,
can you bring me a glass of water from the kitchen on your way through?
I know we can get some water quickly, Dan.
No, not spa water.
Just fresh water from the tap.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
The A-Lister list of once a week, we debate three different celebrities
and decide where they sit, A, B, or C-List.
And I think the more passion the better in this game.
You know what?
Because the B-list, even though we poo-poo it,
it's not a bad list to be on.
I'd love to be on the B-Less.
I'd be so rich if I was on the B-list.
Absolutely nowhere near it.
None of us are.
Okay, I know.
Dan treats the A-list like this exclusive bar
that only like 20 celebs are in allowed in at a time
and we can only put someone else in if someone leaves.
He's like when you go to a fancy club
and the door bitch is acting like
they're the king of the world
and like, I'm the...
And it's like, you are standing in front of a...
And you know, like, four people leave the club
and you look at the bouncer and they're like, just wait.
And you're like, what do you mean? Just wait.
Four people left.
Four in, baby.
Yeah.
To get in this, clavine you to button up, shirt, chinos and loafers.
Oh, okay.
That is not a club I want to be attended.
No, thank you.
Okay, so the first one, I think we're all going to agree.
I hope we're all going to agree is it.
I like to do an easy A every week.
And I think it's going to be an easy air,
but then, old mate here will be like,
m'am-mm-at.
So first one, richest man in the world, Elon Musk.
A.
I'll put him in an A.
Okay, I'd say he would be.
Because, and sadly, it's because he's just so in the news at the moment.
Yes, yes, yes, yeah.
Do you know that guy, how close he is, like, how far away the next richest person?
So Jeff Bezos is about 190 billion.
Elon Musk?
He lost half his money in the divorce.
That's true.
So, 190, Elon Musk, 362.5 billion.
Crazy, yeah.
And to try and give you some perspective.
of that you know how when you find 20 bucks in your pocket
and you go oh my god it's 20 bucks in these pants
for Elon to have that same feeling
he'd have to find
$37 million in his pocket
I can't just make one side note
if you ever find yourself getting angry
at like immigrants or something
that's not who we need to be angry at
someone should in this world no one should have
that much money that's the real
evil that's keeping us all poor just so you know
crazy anyway still an A-lister though
Still an A-lister
Evil yes A-lister also yes
Richest person in the world, I think, yeah, people know who you are.
People already disagreeing with us.
We've given them a triple A.
Rowena's made a really good point.
I disagree with Elon being an A.
An A should be someone who gets invited to all the parties, et cetera.
Popular, is that really Elon?
He's a big old loser.
But I would say A-list is just when you go, hey, do you know Elon Musk?
Everyone goes, yeah.
Like, everyone knows who they are based on fame.
Yeah.
And someone else who said he doesn't even pay child support.
That is true.
But you can still be an A-lister and not pay child support.
Okay, the next one I think this is a bit controversial
because I think maybe we might be debating
whether this person is a B or C.
And I think there be, but I've just known my soul
and I know you'll agree with me, Clint.
I know that Dan's going to be like, C.
Okay, Blake Lively.
Oh, okay, the wife of Ryan Reynolds,
also an actress in her own right.
I think if it wasn't,
she's lucky she's got controversy
and she's always winding people up
because her movies, I'd argue, suck.
I think there is power in the couple.
So I think if your partner is famous,
like say Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively together are more famous because...
And there's some of their parts.
Yeah.
That's a great point.
So I think she's a B because of how famous her husband is
as well as what she's done.
If I may, though, and this person wasn't on my original list,
would we not call Ryan Reynolds an A list?
Yeah, I think Reynolds is
The same way I think Orlando Bloom
When he was dating Katie Perry
They made Orlando Bloom more famous
Yeah, because he's done nothing
If your partner is also famous
I think she's a B
He's in one pirate movie
Blake Lively for me as a C-lister
I think if it wasn't for
And you know what
She's had all the scandal around
The Taylor Swift staff
Around the movie that she was in
That's all blowing over now
She was maybe teetering on a B then
C
Back to a C
All right we will debate Blake Lively
Who else?
Final one
A all day for me, Zach Afron.
A. B.
Oh, shut out, Daniel.
He is a B.
He is high school musical.
He is one of the...
Forever lives in our hearts.
It's one of the biggest films of our childhoods.
Oh, of course it was.
It was a great film.
He extends generations.
Are all the other stars from that movie on the A-list?
No.
Zach He's stuck around.
Has not done anything in the A-list sphere.
The greatest showman.
The greatest showman.
Ten years ago.
Thank you, Clinton.
Baywatch.
Ten years ago.
That movie, but with the...
Nicole Kimmer.
When he had sex with Nicole Kippman?
Come, it's A-list behaviour.
You don't get to have relations with Nicole Kimman in a movie
unless you are top echelon.
That's right.
She ain't...
She ain't having sex with a B-lister!
I'll tell you what, that movie, there was absolutely no chemistry.
It was terribly acted by him.
Nicole Kidman carried it.
He's a relevant details.
He's a B-lister.
It's not about how good you are at acting.
It's about how well-known you are.
Okay, Elon is it.
Look how angry's getting the angry face already.
He's doing the pacing.
I think people will speak for themselves there.
Debate Zach Efron and also Blake Lai.
lively.
I'm sad for Blake.
How we're debating
if she can be B or not.
It's not normally how the game goes.
Sorry, Blake, if you're listening.
She's trying to claw her way out of the C list.
She's Clint, Megan, Dan.
Spinky B.
All right, we are debating three celebrities a week as to where they sit
on the A list of list.
We have all agreed Elon sits at A.
Yeah, boy off it.
Yeah.
I mean, he's a famous man.
I guess money is.
power and all those other things and it creates fame
and so everyone knows the richest man in the world.
Yes, and it just does prove that likeability
has nothing to do with being on the A list.
Absolutely not. They're completely different things.
If he's in the room with all the other A listers,
they may not be, you know, giving him
a lot of conversation time.
We wanted to decide whether Blake Lively was B
or C. You made a really good point that
she is more famous when in the couple
with Ryan Reddles that kind of boosts her up.
If she wasn't married to him, I'd
definitely say she was C, maybe even D at this point.
It's kind of like even like the Brad
and Angelina Jolie, you know, and the beckhams.
There's power in two famous people.
Absolutely. Justin's saying Blake Lively is a B.
Okay.
I put her to C.
I reckon, honestly, in terms of movies, she's definitely a C.
I think it just brings up the maybe to the precipice of a B list because of the scandal.
And Taylor Swift has dropped her.
So she's no longer in the actual.
Justin, Blake Lively, where does she sit for you?
Yeah, she's definitely a B.
I mean, she's still knowing, she's still in the media.
If you ever say Ryan Reddle, do you know Blake, his wife?
Like, she's definitely going to be in the B category.
Would you say she's lucky to be there, Justin?
Oh, yeah, she's only there because of her husband.
Yeah, okay.
What do you reckon about Zach Ephron?
Because Clinton and I think A all day and I'll make Daniel say B.
Now, to be fair, I'm going to go say C because I've got four kids in the car from 16 to 8,
and I said, who's Zach Ephron?
And they all looked at me blankly going, who that?
How is Zach Ephron?
Wow.
He's obviously no current person for the younger generation.
Okay.
He's got to get them into some high school musical.
They'll profit.
A lot of stuff coming through for Blake saying she's a B.
So I think we can safely say that Blake Lively,
even though I put her at a C.
I maybe think C, Vanessa's on the line.
You are familiar with Blake Lively's work, Vanessa.
Blake Lively, B or C?
B, definitely.
Love her movies, but she's still at B.
Okay.
Okay.
What are we reckon about Zach Efron?
Where are you putting him?
Yeah.
Oh man, I'm too old for watching anything with him in it.
She's saying too old.
B as well, sorry.
I watched Iron Claw recently, and there weren't too many names in there.
I think he's famous enough that he can carry a movie with no names.
You know what?
It's rare I do this.
It's rare I change opinions.
Don't bail on me.
Even rarer that I ditch you inside with Daniel.
Come to the B-side, Ash.
I think Zach Afron's a B-list.
I agree.
Divy, Divy, Divy, Divy.
Come on. A bit of sanity. Let it prevail. What do you reckon? Zach Ephron?
Jack Ephron is probably actually in the same opinion to me as Blake.
They were both A back in their day. Gossip Girl for Blake.
That's for Hust and Musical.
Nowadays they've dropped off. They're famous more because of their partners or being associated.
You know, greatest showman for now. I'd say they're lucky to be a bee.
You're speaking some sense, Debbie. Lucky to be there. And I agree.
See, I reckon once my opinion on the A list is one.
you get A-list status, that's it.
You lock it in.
It's like getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
They don't go and chisel you out of the concrete if you haven't done anything in 10 years.
If that's the level to which we're holding it, Zach Efron cannot possibly be an A.
And don't listen to Clinton.
He put David Schwimmer at an A.
Yeah, and he should have been.
The best character and the most successful TV show of all time.
Yes, absolutely.
Okay, so from today, Elon Musk is an A, Blake Lived, Lee, and Zachifron are B-listist.
Oh, man.
Sorry, Zach, I try, buddy.
if you're listening
He's not
No, he's a big fan of the rover app
Yeah he is
Oh he loves the rover app
Oh yeah gosh he does
We should do the A list of apps
Because the rover app would be an A for me
Someone's getting paid per mention
Or something I'm here isn't he
Lover Rover rover
All right
Clint Meg and Dan
Worst flights ever
So I've got a car
I've got two
I'm going to zoom through them
And they both can I see them
Anyway
The first book
My husband
and I were going to Japan, we got upgraded on the flight, right?
So we were in business class.
Love that.
That happened to me once, but it didn't happen to my wife and kids.
So I just went on my own.
No, no, no, no.
You applied for the upgrade on your own without your wife, and it came through.
Well, we were, I said my wife will do half each, you know, but she loves being with the kids.
She's a great mum.
We're on contests, and on contests, when you're flying business class, they give you pyjamas.
And they're very, they're thin, they're very comfortable.
So I don't sleep on planes.
So I was awake because I get nervous and it was the morning like sunrise.
Everyone's asleep in the cabin but I'm awake.
And the guy in front of me had wear the very thin pyjamas to sleep.
And he got up for a morning wee, I suppose.
And with his thin pyjama pants on.
Morning glory.
And you can imagine I saw full just in the, I'm sitting there.
He walks past at eye level and it's and then the male flight attendant who was also in the
cabin, clocks him, clocks me
and we're both like, ah, lootsies.
Wow, is that a...
Yeah, yeah, like, eye-level.
But once I was
flying, I magically got upgraded this other
time, and I was always also in business class.
Someone says she just travels business class.
Hey, you don't need to say you're getting free
upgrade to Trobe, relatable to us,
Pobos. I only
travel business class.
As I just said, I'm a nervous flyer, right?
So my doctor had prescribed me
from some sedatives.
and in this particular flight
I took them a bit early
I took them before takeoff
and I very silly girl
also had a glass of wine on takeoff
and when you mix those two things together
not a good cocktail
problem
oh do you remember ever getting a glass
of champagne or something before takeoff
when you fly
I could only dream
I'm always pushing that button
and I'm like hey can I just get like a Coke zero
and they're like sorry we're all out
I was like we're in near 15 minutes
we can give me some bubbly sprite
So I put the bed down
And then I
Oh my God
The relatability's just gone out of the window
I literally
When the guy in front of me
He chose to recline
I shove my knees as hard as I can
Into the back of the seat
So he thinks that's as far as it'll go
And this was pre-kids guys
Pre-kids, okay
So I fall asleep and I wake up when we're landing
The flat internet shakes me away
Because I'm so out of it
So relaxed
I'm like I come back to it
I'm a bit woozy
and I look and I'm like, oh, I feel very free and comfortable,
and I realise, I touch my, I'm like, where's my bra?
My bra, I'm not wearing a bra.
I look on the ground.
I've taken my bra off and thrown it on the ground
and the flight attendant has, like, folded it up for me
and, like, put it neatly in the thing.
So I'm like, oh gosh.
That's what they do in business class.
They've put a blanket.
They do your washing?
Yeah, they fold up your bra.
They put a blanket over me, so I'm pretty sure I may have, you know.
And the guy next to me avoiding eye contact at all, you know,
so I thought, okay, maybe I've accidentally flashed a boob,
which is why he's avoiding eye contact.
And then as we're landing, I see my phone, and it's open on notes.
And I've got all these notes about places to go and visit in Sweden.
And then I started getting flashbacks.
And I was like, so where are you from?
And he's like, oh, from Sweden.
I'm like, I'm going to Sweden.
Tell me what I was not going to Sweden.
But I forced this guy to, like, put notes in my phone about all the places to visit in Sweden.
Wow.
And he was like, this crazy person next to me is strange.
dripped off half naked.
Oh, no, he wasn't thinking that.
He was probably, like, checking his phone every 24 hours being like,
she still hasn't text.
She still hasn't text.
Honestly, someone's texts through as well.
That doesn't sound like first class.
That sounds like a private jet.
No, it was absolutely not.
It's a private jet.
But it's like planes are this microcosm where anything goes.
Like the craziest stuff happens on planes.
The worst of us comes out.
You don't know what I mean?
Like the animal in us.
Because we're tired, we're uncomfortable, we're desperate for whatever.
You think crazy stuff happens up in business class
You wait till you come down with the rest of us down in economy
Oh my God
Stuff that happens in cattle
Have you got a story?
Yeah
My friend was once on a plane
And an echidna was loose
Someone had smuggled an echidna on the plane
Because some flights you can
Like in Europe and some parts of America
You can take like a support animal
Yeah, you can take two falcons
You're allowed two per person
If you're in the, um
You know, on United Arab Emirates
Don't they have a falcon on the plane
I think it's like their
Like their, what's the thing, a mascot?
I don't think there's a falcon.
on every Emirates flight.
No, I think on one of the airlines, they have a bird on the plane.
I've seen a photo and it's like everyone's got their falcons.
There was just as many falcons as people on this.
It's like totally legal to take your falcon on a plane on an emirates flight.
Wow. It's crazy. So if you've got a great yarn,
best flight ever, worst flight ever. We'll take them both.
Just the crazy stuff you've seen.
Okay. Alex Warren and Rose. You don't have to be like actually being a business class to share.
Or get your boobies out.
Yeah.
Cool though.
The Clint Meggin' Dan podcast.
of worst flights ever.
What are you got?
A lot of people texting through.
I mean, everybody maybe has one.
Good or bad.
Nicole is on our 800 of the edge.
What happened to you on a flight?
So, good morning.
Me and my husband were in Costa Rica
and we had to hop on a little plane
to go to another area there.
Got to the airport
and was a little bit suspicious at the start
when the name of the aircraft
wasn't kind of up along.
You know how they have the main.
in areas where it says like Qantas or all of those, and we couldn't see it.
And right down the end, there was a tiny little area and had the name of the aircraft.
So we went there, and they needed to weigh us individually, which I thought was a little bit suspicious.
Hopped into a really tiny plane where nobody spoke English.
And as we were in the air, we were sitting behind the pilots, and the plane started doing the beeping, you know, like it does in the movie.
Oh, God.
I know, I know.
Yeah, and I thought that was only something that happened in movies.
But anyway, we were meant to go to an airport, obviously,
but the plane ended up going emergency landing in a field
that had maybe five other people that didn't speak English
and a bunch of chickens.
And I say, to say, that was an experience and a half.
It feels like a Dwayne Johnson movie.
That's incredible.
That's incredible.
Yeah, yeah.
That's incredible.
How'd you get home?
How did you get back to the airport?
So luckily I had printed out where we were going
So there was one person that could I guess read the address that we needed to go to
So he drove us there
But when I ended up making it
I'd message my dad that we'd made it
And he's like oh I didn't want to tell you
But I'd seen that that aircraft that airline had crashed a few weeks earlier
Oh my gosh
That's a great ad for those Apple Air Pro 3s
You can put them in and then it just translate any language
Straight into your air
I think if the pilots yelling we're all going to die in Spanish
I don't want to know that
It's a tiny piece.
Now, Kathy, you're on a slightly bigger plane than Nicole, but another issue for you.
Yeah, so we were, my husband and I were coming back from the States, from L.A. a couple of years ago.
And it was a three-four-three configuration of the seat.
So, yeah, pretty big plane, and it was pretty packed, very packed, actually.
As we were, so my husband was in the window seat, I was in the middle,
and then there was someone next to me who I didn't know.
As we were taxiing to the runway, a gentleman two seats in front of my husband started having a seizure.
which is obviously pretty scary to see
and obviously really scary for his wife who was sitting next to him
so the plane stops all the crew run from everywhere to help him
they lift him up and put him obviously in the aisle
to give him to do what they had to do with him
then the LAX like emergency crew
they all come on and they have to take him and his wife off
because obviously they can't fly
so that was pretty scary in itself
I was like oh I don't like this
and then so about half an hour later we then
we'd all be taxi to the runway we were just about to take off
and the woman in front of me started having
a seizure.
That's final destination stuff.
I'm like, I'm getting off.
I'm not supposed to be on this plane.
I'm there two mornings.
I turned to go next to me and I said, please don't die.
Please don't die on me.
Yeah, so they had to get deal with her
because I think the stress of her seeing the person in front of her
and she was epileptic and so they bought the crew on.
I think one of the cabin crew actually ran so fast over the seats.
She broke her ankle to deal with this situation.
Oh, that's a nightmare.
Get off the plane.
Yeah.
So they put us down the galley at the end.
They were like, you guys just,
wait down there. I was like, I want to get off.
But anyway, so they'll live in our flight home.
I don't think I talked once. I just was mute and
was just so happy to get home.
Wow. She never went on a plane again.
And Kath, hold there. From the studio that
brought you Paddington comes Kangaroo.
It arrives in cinemas on
Thursday. We'll send you a double pass to go to.
Now, there's one other person that we could
go to, but they had someone die on a flight.
Do we want to go to them? It seems fairly depressing.
What's the procedure?
Yeah. So, Carrie, you're on a flight
and somebody died. What does
it they do in that instance?
Hey, well, look, it was.
It was about the last hour of a long haul flight.
And they pretty much were working on her.
They was a doctor on board, so they had the Difa button, the whole she being a.
It was awful.
It's not an entertainment story.
But, yeah, pretty much just covered her up, had her lying sort of in the exit row.
And, yeah, they got a sort of the plane emergency services came in and did what they needed to do.
Traumatize her.
Is everyone silent?
Like, did anyone speak?
knowing that someone had passed away and the body was there.
Did people just go on with their lives?
No, it was just bloody weird, eh?
Because her poor husband was sitting there.
I kind of packed up her bag of goodies and gave it to him.
Oh, my God.
Because we've been chatting on the plane part of that.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, but disappointingly, like, you know, nobody ever checked in, like, from a kind of trauma perspective.
I was just going to ask that, whether that's sort of part of the service, even an email going,
hey, if anyone would like to talk to her.
No, not a word.
word, which was a bit strange, eh?
That did Scarnie for life.
I don't know if I could go on a plane again after that.
I'm sorry you had that experience.
That was the trip over.
Then us lads come back.
Oh, gosh.
That's when you need that special things that I told.
Yeah, I'd ask you to that gentleman who lost his wife that way.
Oh, horrific.
Oh, thanks for sharing, Kerry.
That's kind of stuff of nightmares, really.
As Ash would say, it wouldn't happen in business.
People can still die in business.
It doesn't discriminate, Dan.
If they just, if they do die, they die on those really silky
and pyjamas.
Yes.
Very shit.
What a way to go.
The Glenn Migg and Dan podcast.
So a couple of weeks ago, I won a competition at work and I won a voucher to a fancy
golf resort in Mungafi.
I was really excited because I've always wanted to go to this place.
My husband loves to play golf, but way too Speno.
So I get my voucher.
I'm so excited.
I email, it's called TRI.
I email them to book our accommodation in.
I send them my voucher.
And they write back, go, hello, Ms. London.
Please let us know how you will be arriving.
And I'm like, what kind of question is that?
You're like, we're not Ubering there.
I'm not going to walk to Mungafai from Auckland.
And so I wrote back, I was like, oh, we'll be arriving in our car.
Let me know if you need the license plate.
And she was like, thanks for letting me know.
And I was like, very confused, but kind of forgot about it.
Then we arrive at the resort.
And Adrian had an early tea time.
So we'd get there in the morning.
And I see a helicopter above.
And the helicopter lands at the resort.
And someone gets out with their golf clubs.
And I was like, oh, my.
my gosh, she was asking if I would be arriving by a helicopter or by a car.
And I was like, first of all, like, she won't be thinking some so povo.
But second of all, who is flying from my helicopter to play around a goal?
When she got her email, she was like to the office,
guys, we've got someone arriving at a car.
And she was like, it's a Mercedes, Pobbo.
Oh my gosh, it's just a Mercedes.
I was kind of laughing about how embarrassing.
Like people go, anyway, something was in the news this week.
And I think, you know, we make fun of rich people a lot.
But every now and then we have to put ourselves in their shoes.
And we maybe, I think we owe them just a minute's, not silence, but just reflection.
Because this is tough.
So Tara Eiti and Tiari, two kind of neighbouring, very expensive golf courses, resorts,
have been told to cease helicopter activity following a complaint from.
locals about the choppers being
annoyingly loud. Too many coming
and going. They're coming in.
They're too close to the houses.
One of the residents said there's a morning
six, seven, eight helicopters are landing
just above his house.
And you know, think about these poor people
who just want to play a round of golf.
I know. At a thousand dollars a pop.
How else do they get their golf clubs to the
club? What are we going to expect them to hop
in the car? Drive an hour and 20 minutes
to play golf. I mean,
How very dare we put these expectations upon them, you know?
I mean.
I just want a moment, you know, like, we're sorry, rich people of Auckland.
Do you have to get in a car?
Yeah.
Sometimes from neighbouring places as well.
They don't have to fly from Auckland in a helicopter.
They could fly from anywhere.
So I just want to know we're with you.
You know, people may be pointing the finger and saying you're ruining the planet.
You're the reason that we can't afford life.
But you imagine, like, if you own a helicopter, the insurance on it,
and how much it costs to like keep it in a hangar
and then when you want to use it
and when you want to go use it
you can't. Now you start thinking
now you start going
is it even worth still owning it
which means there's going to be all these helicopters
for sale that these people can't sell
Yeah how do you even sell it?
How do you even sell it? Trade me?
I wouldn't know where to start.
That seems to know a lot about it
It's like he's looked into it with his wife.
Yeah, specific websites.
We do want to say look we're sorry guys
we hope that the hour and a half car ride to play golf on a Saturday morning
isn't too hard for you but you know here at the edge we're thinking of you
yeah and they do have caddies as well at Teara that you can
use to carry your clubs around and stuff if you are a bit tired from the long drive
but it was $280 to have someone carry them so my husband said he'd carry himself
$280 to get someone to carry your clubs around but he was so sore afterwards
he could hardly walk because it's such a big course
so she's paid someone to carry the clubs
cannot afford it was either it's a catty or a helicopter
I can't afford both.
Holy shit, you made it the whole way through.
If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast.
See you tomorrow.
