Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Good morning. Bang on 6 o'clock. Meg, hurry up. Good morning. I'm here.
Starting point is 00:00:16 We've got the text specifically asking for you to hurry up. Marilyn? She's gone different on her food. I know. I knew it was going to throw you down. That's why I didn't. It's just porridge with cheese seeds. She usually has beans.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Are you normally beans? And tomato? No, it's Apple. Oh, okay. Does that mean you flicked your beans? No, I've not flicked the beans. I'm going to alternate flicking the bean. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Do you know one time, we actually did a thing on here, Dan's idea, obviously, because he's a sex pest. And we had a competition where we all got given a coffee bean, and we had to flick it and try and get it into the bucket at the end of the desk. It was a bean flicking competitions. Yeah. And I remember we started with a big bucket, and then we got so good that it ended up being like into a cup. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Me was very good. I always overshoot it. You did? That's a shame. You couldn't find it quite often. I'd be like I gave you a bean three minutes. And then it looks like I've lost it. I've lost it can't find a baby.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Yeah, I can't find it. Anyway, so that's why we stop playing it. You guys are starting in a dangerous space for 6 a.m.? Oh no, I think this is what we're doing. We're getting it out of our system. So now it's done. We won't talk about it again. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Happy Friday, everyone. All right. Meg's got the bell. She'll ring it if she suspects you being naughty again. She's got a new shirt on as well, Clint. I can't do this. She does. I like it. It's nice on you.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Like a kind of like 90s look. Anyway, people can't see me. Yeah. We're just picture Meg looking hot like you always do. And then exceptionally elevated the hotness today. Free stuff Friday. Meg's going to wrap again and then the next 20. Clint megan, Dan.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Let's go. Time for a little coffee ketchup. Just a quick little whip around before we officially kick the show off. I found out yesterday that my son is like a stage five clinger. He's going to be one of those like needy boys Just Isn't it nice that he likes his girls Likes his girlfriends
Starting point is 00:02:06 Stage 5 is really high up the Yeah They have kids like Facebook Messenger And they can message their friends Obviously only off our phone They don't have their own phone And they can't delete messages So you can go through and check their chat
Starting point is 00:02:21 And all the rest of it And you have to approve their friend Because you're already friends with their parents Or whatever Yeah So anyway, I won't use names with my son's messaging this girl. He's nine. And he was using the out word.
Starting point is 00:02:35 And I was like, bro, it's a bit heavy. Like just, you know, it's a bit heavy. Just pump the brakes. Anyway, yesterday, my daughter came home. She's like, Ty. My daughter goes, Ty said he wants to marry her. And I was like, what? And I go, you didn't tell her that, did you?
Starting point is 00:02:49 And he's like, yeah. And I was like, bro. Oh, they're sweet. But that means everything to them at that age. He's just a child. He is. There's two girls. I've said I want to marry.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Yeah, for sure. And we were nine. My first, like, crash, I think I was nine or ten, and I think I said, I like you. His name was Richard. I never forget. He was at the top of the, like, playground castle. And I yelled up.
Starting point is 00:03:09 I was like, well, I like you. I'll never forget it. It would have been better if you were up the top when he was down there and you leave your hair down. And I kind of, yeah, it didn't have long hair as a child as well, but it was the other way around. But it's amazing how, like, that much to me, that meant so much to me.
Starting point is 00:03:24 And it's just, it was, you know, you're just a child. Just the little kid. Yeah. I'm just like, mate. It's cool. Like, I understand you feel that way. But just, wait, this is the first week. Just chill, man.
Starting point is 00:03:32 The scary thing is their messaging. That's what freaks me up. That's the scary thing, eh? Is they messaging now and like saying, I love you over text. It's like, my God. Yeah, we had to have a little sit down a couple days ago and I was like, you're not in trouble. Like, because I don't want to shame him for expressing his feelings. Yeah, he's darling feelings.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Or saying what he thinks he should say. But I was just talking to him about messages and when they're on like the internet, effectively they live forever and other people can show them to other people. and sometimes a private message isn't necessarily all that private. He was like, now, Ty, there's a thing called treat him mean, keep him keen, okay? And you're not doing that, brother. And you don't have disappearing messages yet, so don't worry about it. Wait until you get into Instagram.
Starting point is 00:04:12 You're on the other planet of that rule. You want to keep him guessing, bro. Okay? Do I say I love you too quick? Just a hopeless romantic. Yeah, yeah. So that's nice. What's going on in your world?
Starting point is 00:04:22 Well, nothing. Nothing can be it. Really, because of you said something about wrapping paper. Oh, yeah, I got the same. wrapping a present terribly. So, look, there's different things for different folks. Don't go watch your shit story after your one.
Starting point is 00:04:36 I read, I wrapped a present yesterday for a kid. It was a kid thing and then I took it over and the mum was like, that is so terribly wrapped, who wrapped that? And I was like, George did it. And she was like, there's no way your two-year-old did it. And I'm like, I did it. Why can't men wrap presents? Honestly, you could sit me down for an hour and I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Like, it always looks like a mess. But that is. I ended up making, I wrapped it, like I thought it was being cool. I wrapped it like a cabri roses. Oh, you're like like a firecracker. Yeah, so I twisted up the ends. You just like, salitate the ends. Like a lolly.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Yeah. And I showed Hannah, I'm like, this is cool. I just like, that looks so horrific. Clint, Megan Dan. First call of the day. First call of the day. It's Russell. Get it, Russ.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Morning team, how's the game? Rusty. Truck driver from Auckland. How's the truck this morning, Rusty? No, no, going well. Going well. Now, Russell, what does it mean when your relationship status is complicated? Well, it went from being a very good relationship to being a bit of a separation situation.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Oh, no. That's kind of complicated at the moment. Yeah, do you think, do you want it to get back together, Russell, or are you in two minds about it? I'm pretty much on the fence at the moment, so yeah, that's why I say complicated, because, I don't know how the future pans up, but at the moment, yeah, I'm just on the thing. Well, it's your partner's lost because I see here that you're known as the Minister of Entertainment. That sounds like a fun nickname. You must have gotten that from being somebody that knows how to have a good time.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Yeah, back in South Africa, I was running nightclubs, and I was always hosting functions and hosting after parties. Do you live life too fast, maybe, for her? Yeah, very much so. She always felt like she was in my shadow Because obviously being like so Prominent in the nightclub industry And she was always like Yeah unfortunately
Starting point is 00:06:36 You sound like a badass Maybe the fact that you even acknowledge that Maybe there's something she might like to hear That you say like hey that you appreciate the sacrifices she's made So that you can pursue your dreams and your passion And maybe that lands somewhere nice Yeah 100%. I think that was pretty much the amazing
Starting point is 00:06:57 The main case of the story was, you know, it's just like, I don't know, I always seem to like be the life of most parties. Not that I want to be, but I always seem to like, I don't know, I was always very much interested. So what you're saying is you didn't choose the thug life. The thug life chose you. Yeah, it's not your fault. Very much so, yo, I think my personality just precedes me. And I always land up, you know, I don't know, showing people a good time as well as having a good time with people. You must have a bloody good time yesterday afternoon if you're watching the FIFA World Cup.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Were you watching South Africa, take down South Korea? No, unfortunately I wasn't. I'm not a big fan of the football, but yeah. He was too busy having a good time. Unsouth African of you. It's just an excuse to smash a few beers in the afternoon on Thursday. Okay, so what happened? Did they win or lose?
Starting point is 00:07:48 Yeah, they won 1-0. They punched it sort of right at the end, so it looks like they might get out of the group stages. Yeah. Yeah, no, I didn't. I don't know what time the game was even on, but I was probably working. Well, you've lived up to your name, Russell, because I've been entertained this whole break. He's from Browns Bay in Auckland, by the way? I was going to ask that.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Say what? Do you live in Browns Bay? No, I'm not part of those staffers. I live in Howick, believe it or not? If you're not from Auckland, it's like every South African that moves to New Zealand just lives in Brown's Bay on the shore. Oh, no, 100%. So before I even moved to New Zealand, everybody was saying,
Starting point is 00:08:25 oh you must look around the area of Browns Bay and then I thought, hang on, hang on. I want to go and move back to South Africa. I want to move to New Zealand. All right, well, keep us posted on how the relationship thing goes. It would be keen to see what happens. Yeah, no, we'll do. Hey, we'll send you a double pass, awkward,
Starting point is 00:08:45 to our must-see movie Jackass. One Last Ride, Best and Last, it's in Cinema's July 2nd rated R-16, Nudity and Offensive Language. Thanks, that'll be great. And listen, guys, thank you so much for a fantastic show. I love the mornings. Get my day started with you guys.
Starting point is 00:09:00 It's brilliant. Oh, thanks, Russell. You've been amazing. Thank you. I love a tire pump up in the morning. Thank you, Rusty. Good on you. Well, don't go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Russell or anybody else because Freestyle Friday is back for round two after yesterday's. I want to say success. I mean, we enjoyed it. It wasn't successful in terms of it rhyming, which it needs to. But anyway, who knows what comes out of Meg's mouth. Yeah, Russell just pumped up our tie. as Meg's about to pump up yours next. Yep.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Put up about how she was booed. I wanted to bring a new and exclusive 30-minute set of brand-new music to a festival crowd unannounced. And I thought it would be a great opportunity to play the new music I've been working so hard on. I'm not a jukebox. I'm an artist.
Starting point is 00:09:50 And the tickets for transmit weren't sold on my name being a part of the lineup. Yeah, exactly. So it was actually a support. prize. She just did it randomly and people still... Like showed up. She wasn't on the line up at all. I know. So she was a bonus. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:10:06 It wasn't like she went and people were waiting to see her and went to hear her song. She was like, no, you know, I've got some new tracks that's played them down. I mean, I think you've got to sprinkle the new ones amongst one or two bangers. Give them a quick what's the one of their big songs. Like give it one hit. Pelling high heels or something. And jelly roll roll speaking in concerts, notice somebody in the crowd that he
Starting point is 00:10:23 recognized and offered her free concerts for life. You know right here, make sure she never buys a ticket to a show again. This is like the sixth show I've seen her. We'll never buy another ticket to my concert ever. We will take care of that tonight. Yeah, I always think of the person that has to sort that out, though. Yeah, I know. And the person has to go out to me like, right, so I'll get your details, I guess, and I'll sort that out.
Starting point is 00:10:43 And then every time there's a gig, I've got to email you. And you know, I mean, I bless her, but she will be a punish. Oh, got here. She will be a punish. Every gig she'll be going to now. Nightmare. Yeah. All right, don't go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Freestyle Friday is back. Meg, as we like to call her, ASAP, crappy. She is going to be performing next. Guys, dumb idea to do it once. Really stupid idea to do it twice. Are you rapping now? What are you doing? Brancis.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Yeah, it's still not rhyming, but it feels like you've got a flow on. Yeah. Next. It's time for a little freestyle Friday. We did this yesterday. It came up. It was an old radio thing that happened like 10 years. ago on another radio station I was on and I used to dread it.
Starting point is 00:11:31 I hated it because it was serious. People would call up. There was a delay on the phone. But we did it with Meg and I don't know. I'm loving it now. You're loving it because it's the most embarrassing thing I've ever done. It's cringe. Jesus, that must be bad then. None of it is funny.
Starting point is 00:11:45 It's just like look at this old white girl trying to be funny. You're the one that's saying you're old. No one has said you're old. No one said you're white. Meg just trash. She is white. I am very white. I'm very Caucasian. You even know what's going, oh, listen to this old WICO.
Starting point is 00:12:01 That's in your head. No, that is not on my head. That is absolutely, if somebody is tuning in and doesn't know who we are, and they tune into this for the first time, and they hear me rapping. That is shocking. It is bad for you. But you know what?
Starting point is 00:12:13 Meg yesterday tried rapping, and it was shocking. We were like, we can either bail and she's a terrible rapper, or as friends, we allow her to practice and practice, and maybe she becomes good at her. Clint, stop calling her Meg. In this segment, she's called Poop Dog. Poop Dog. Actually, can we get an intro and made,
Starting point is 00:12:27 I'll produce Brady for next week and you know like the Snoop Dog's on but poop dog yeah I also did like Missy Smalley it so it's one of the two Yeah make them both We'll see what we end up using Anyway okay alright 20 cent
Starting point is 00:12:39 I mean sorry poop dog you ready No Texan by the way what you want Meg to rap about Because then you know it's a freestyle She hasn't actually written me Okay let's start off for something easy Hit the Jams Clint Meg you're gonna be rapping for the first one
Starting point is 00:12:53 Let's just go This is my worst nightmare by the way About living life in the fast lane. Fast lane, both easy to rhyme with. Yeah. Anabolic beat. Here she goes. Poop Dog.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Find your rhythm. I got a window. I can see through. You got one. I got two. Look at that sun shining. There's you. Blessed for me.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Shit for you. Outside. That's how I move. In the... No, I lost it. Oh, guys I lost it! I've got a vits outside. That's how I move.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Bugger. Damn, that was a real... You had a float. You had some... I was like an old white girl. I'm not doing it again. Nathan, Nathan, you can have a hundred dollar mock about Jamaica because that is the best text that we will get all morning.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Honestly, I'm not doing it again. You sound like an old white girl rap. That's weird, me, because that was your fear. Oh God, one of the chances of someone actually texting. That's a real. rapper name either. Old Waikel. Little old Waikel.
Starting point is 00:14:11 That's your new name. That's your new name. That's your new name. Little bit of a lot. Your brother. 100 old mock and voucher. Furned design for New Zealand homes. That's coming out to you, man.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Hey, here's a little tip as well. I don't think many rappers are rapping about their vits. Make it like at least. Kanye, Kanye, he rapped about a rap four once, but he wasn't,
Starting point is 00:14:33 he needs to speak very kindly on it. No. No. Let me get Dad. Time to get naughty at 640. Okay, I'll give you a little peek
Starting point is 00:14:41 behind the radio curtain. Sometimes for naughty 640 we don't always have it fully prepped up before it comes and so when the song's playing like, right, who's doing something naughty? What are you got? What are you got?
Starting point is 00:14:50 I threw something out there and Meg's definitely not for on here. Then Dan threw something out which I thought hilarious and she goes, also definitely not for on here. Both of them terrible. They'll go on the podcast. Will they go on the podcast?
Starting point is 00:15:01 Well, they're too crook for that. I mean, I think yours is pretty crook. Dad's weird. Mine's just a game that I'd say Milton Bradley could pick up. They're both games that they play with their wives. I'll say that much. Now I'm thinking about, I don't want to talk about the game I pose my wife because if she hears it, she's going to stop playing the game with me. And you can listen to our uncensored podcast, the Overthinkers podcast. You can text Overthinkers to 3343 and we'll send you back the link.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Okay, and you'll share your one. Your game. I will. I'll write it down so we don't forget after the show. So enjoy that. But I have got some stats here, guys. We've spoken about it before. I would say at Nauseum. of the AI world and the AI dating game. Yeah. Now there has been a worldwide study just released in the last six minutes. This is how on the pulse I am.
Starting point is 00:15:46 And this study reveals that 15% of young adults, these people are 25 years and younger. So let's imagine they're in the dating games, are probably 18 to 25s, have admitted to seriously being in a relationship with an AI chatbot. Oh, I don't. I've already spoken to my husband about we might be in the era where our grandchild is AI
Starting point is 00:16:09 and we just have to get our heads around it and be like, but then they're not on the go. And then we'll have fights with our kids and our kids will be like, can't you respect that this is my baby? And I'll be like, it's a. It's a Tamagogy at best. It's a robot. But AI would have come so far that they've got their own little personalities and... Apparently there's even a thread on Reddit called My Girlfriend is AI.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Yeah, and it's got twin. is AI too. And my boyfriend is AI. And one of them's got 20,000 subscribers. I saw that one girl had to go to therapy because she was upset when ChatGBTGBT got an upgrade and she felt like she lost her boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:16:48 That's like both sad but very, very concerning as well that we're in this space where they're because it's hard to tell now. You can talk to like, we downloaded one for experimental purposes a few months ago, didn't we? And it is very hard to tell the difference between talking
Starting point is 00:17:03 to a human person and a chatbot now they're so intuitive. And humans are never going to win because we're flawed. We're all flawed creatures and we will all make mistakes. We'll all have different moods. There'll be good days and bad days with humans. But a chat bot is never going to have a bad day with you. They're going to say the things that you want to say. Humans will not compare if you have dated a chat bot.
Starting point is 00:17:24 You're right. Every time I tell my wife something, she's not always overly ecstatic about my idea. But chat's always like, that's amazing. That's such a good idea. I'm like, thank you, my wife's thought it sucked. The great thing about humans, I guess, is that we're flawed in a way. Is there anyone that's listening right now? I mean, it says that there's, like, one in seven people are talking to a chatbot.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Is there anyone that is actually talking to a chatbot in a serious relationship? Yeah, or is experienced it even with a friend or somebody that they know that has, I think there'd still weirdly be some shame in New Zealand that if you, if, but it will eventually come out. You know what it's good practice for if you're just into the dating game and you're wanting to sort of try some of your gear. You know, like have it getting experience with chatting to girls online. But I don't think girls and guys would reply the same way
Starting point is 00:18:10 that chat would and so maybe you get disappointed when they don't respond. But yeah. Okay, and I've just written down for the overthink as a reminder, Dan Forskin game. Yeah. Well, I think it's called Forskine and Ball. That's called awful Jim Jan Cockerball. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Stop. Sorry, I started that. I shouldn't have. The Clint, Meg and Dan pod. Okay. All right, I've got the number all put in, ready to dial. Oh, no, I got it wrong. So that is why I triple check it. Wow. Wow, here it is.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Okay. If they answer, we'll take the edge off my life. The cash is theirs, all yours. It's down this morning, so if your phone's ringing in, Queen. Take the ears off my life. Darn it. Hi, Jenna. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Good morning, Jenna. You sound like, be honest. You sound like you've just woken up. Oh, I have you. Yeah. No, fair enough. That would have been really bad if she hadn't. How is the most beautiful.
Starting point is 00:19:04 part of New Zealand this morning. Are you and Frankton? Yes, it's absolutely stunning. I bet it is. Is it snowing there yet or is it too early for? She hasn't gone out. It's how? I just been there.
Starting point is 00:19:16 There was a big dump yesterday. Oh, there was a big dump yesterday. Nice. Yeah, yeah. That's the only time, everyone, that's the only context that you could say that that's awesome. It's a good dump. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Oh, my God, there's a big dump yesterday. Amazing. And we're all going, oh, lovely, lovely here. That's so nice. So you need $298. for what? My speaker, because I this fabulous rubber app, is about to die.
Starting point is 00:19:41 So replace that, so I can keep listening to you guys. Okay. Nice, the Bluetooth speaker on the way out. We're going to replace it, $298. Because your application says you need $298 for a Bluetooth speaker to keep listening to the Meg Mansell show. The Meg Mansell show. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:19:56 I don't... Uh-huh. She was like, I'm just going to get a little gag in there just to improve my chances of winning. And you did. Yeah. I must to like that one. I love you too, Jenna.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Yeah, thanks, Jim. All right, well, you enjoy the massive dump and have a great weekend, Jenna. Thank you, Tim. You say, good much to you show next week. Thank you so much. Thanks, Jenna. Bless you, Jenna.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Yeah, we're doing a show. I heard somebody say that to me yesterday. I was at the supermarket, and they said good luck for the weekend, which I think they meant. Yeah, we're doing a show. Huck the musical. I wrote it when I was 15 years old.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Meeks directing it. I'm playing Hook. Clint's playing Peter Pan. Do you know what? I will say, as well, for the first time, Yesterday, I was sitting back watching you guys do your thing, and I was like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:20:39 A 15-year-old Dan did a bloody good job of this. Yeah, he did. I know we've adapted little bits and pieces to, like, join scenes and that. But there are some parts where I was like, this song fits perfectly with the story that Dan's chosen. I had a little moment yesterday as well, because we've finally got to a point, I think, that we're all happy with the show. And I remember thinking, if 15-year-old Dan knew this was happening,
Starting point is 00:21:00 that Meg Mansell was acting in it, a guy that was eighth on New Zealand either was playing pan. 150 people coming to the show? He would be stoked. I think he would be too and that's what we did it for. We did it for that 15 year old boy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:11 And 37 year old Dan, 38 year old Dan is mildly impressed. And that 15 year old boy does just still and live inside you, doesn't it? He does, yeah. It's quite deeper there, but he is there. There are some immature lines. Like when I say that,
Starting point is 00:21:23 as Peter Pan, that Hook could have been one of us but instead he chose the thug life. Yeah. That's a Dan line. Not me, by the way. Is it? I don't know if I wrote this.
Starting point is 00:21:32 That is you. Is it? Here's the odd rough line in there But for the most part I was very impressed by 15 year old Dan Okay, he was a talented man Clint Megan Dan It's Clint Megan Dan's
Starting point is 00:21:44 Sport Roundup with Laura McGoldrick That's actually Jack Black doing that last time he was in Yeah, we got him to do it We had to pay $10,000 for it though Worth it Yeah Morning Laura We're backy night here morning
Starting point is 00:21:59 We're about to tell you now Still in England I'm in Manchester I'm two after all sprits is in and we are doing it. You know what I mean? I love these. Do you still make time for us?
Starting point is 00:22:09 Thank you. You're living my life. Mom's on tour. Who are you drinking with tonight? Oh, yeah. A couple of Aussies, actually. Don't hold that against me. But a couple of actually iconic,
Starting point is 00:22:19 if you follow women's cricket, Julia Price and Mel Jones, a couple of cricket legends. And it's going really well. The April Spritz is flying down because there's a heat wave over here and the English just don't know what to do when it gets slightly warm, respectfully.
Starting point is 00:22:33 No one really knows what's going on. So the best thing, do is after work go to the pub. That's so funny because I asked you last time we spoke to you if you go and have some drinks with the players when you're on tour. Yeah, that's right. And it's literally what you're doing right now. Former players, now commentators.
Starting point is 00:22:47 So if I run into some players tonight, good luck to them. And Emerald Sprints is such a great cocktail of choice. Yeah, great. It's a lovely drink. And you can have a couple of them and stand up and forget how to use your legs if you do it right, you know what I mean? It's a lovely and you think you're fine.
Starting point is 00:23:05 until you stand up, like I've just done for this interview. Wonderful. Are you guys good? How's the weather there? It's kind of miserable. We've seen all the sun over there, apparently. Yeah, you guys have a heat wave at the moment, according to my mate. Yeah, we do.
Starting point is 00:23:20 And you know how if you live in Auckland and when it rains, people just are unable to operate a moving vehicle or anything, you know, how it just stops. In England, if it gets warm, people just stop what they're doing and leave. The ground, the train tracks swell, so all the trains shut down. Public systems don't work so the underground doesn't work. It's a whole, people just stop what they're doing and go to the pub. Yeah, 38 degrees, not nice to go to work for the soup. Big game to look forward to with the All right to last game in the FIFA World Cup.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Great time for us at 3 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon. Probably a shocking time for you. I think it is about 2 a.m. for me. So depending on how you look at it, it could be great. Well, yeah, it depends how many Amaral Sprits is in you are, I guess. Yeah, I mean, will I shift from April Spritz to a cider? I don't know. Whatever works in this heat wave, but no, it is a huge game.
Starting point is 00:24:11 It's so exciting. Have you guys been following this as much as I have? Yeah, yeah. The fans, the fan zones. I am now, I might be going for Scotland after the All Whites in this competition. Their fans all through Boston, all over Miami are just making waves. Now, what their team's done in the tournament, I have no idea. But their fans are winning.
Starting point is 00:24:29 They just lost to Brazil, so I think they're out now. They might be drowning their sorrows. Yeah, Laura, we've had a... Oh, we'll get around them. Yeah. We've had a little piglet oracle that's been predicting the games. Spence of the Pig. He has had his first loss, though, hasn't he, overnight?
Starting point is 00:24:45 Yeah, he picked South Korea to beat South Africa. South Africa got up it, so he's out. Oh, yeah. And South Africa is through now, which is not sort of the usual, the norm for South Africa. So there's a lot of people that are quite vocal about that over here. There's also, and I want you to remember this because if you're doing the football, you probably need to be doing the cricket as well
Starting point is 00:25:05 and that's New Zealand England. And if New Zealand, who are the defending champions in this world cut, are to make it through to the semi-finals. They need to beat the host England on the same, well, it'll be the morning for you, the night for you. So we need them to win ourselves.
Starting point is 00:25:19 I need as many Kiwis off the back of a good, all-white swin to stay up a few April spritses and support the white ferns. Amen, it's the drink of choice. Well, we can't talk about sports. without talking about the Warriors, Laura. Tomorrow night. Do we love the Warriors or what?
Starting point is 00:25:34 Are they not your favour? Few injuries after Christchurch. How good did that stadium look full and with the Warriors in it? I have high, high hopes for the Warriors again. They're on a roll and there's a few people talking about them now. You know they're going well when the Australian commentators sort of start going, these Warriors are the one to watch, you know, and so that's a good sign for us. That was a great impression of the Australian commentators.
Starting point is 00:25:56 These Warriors are the ones to watch. Thank you very much. Good game. Second place, third. So that'll be a massive game. Laura, we've got to let you get back to your Apparel Spritz. Thank you for your time always. Thank you very much. Love you guys. Have a great weekend. Love you.
Starting point is 00:26:12 She's like, yeah, guys, she's got to go. That whole chap brought you by Apparel Spritz. By the way. I think we mentioned they got their monies worth there. Yeah, true. Like seven times. You do want to send us anything. You know, 17-Hagree Street. Thanks to SkySport.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Thank you to Laura. a legend. Up the wars. Clint, Megan Dan. We got to hear Meg talk to hers yesterday. Just before we'd started officially recording the Over Thinkers podcast, which we record after the show, if you want more Clint Meg and Dan, by the way. Yeah, the microphones were already on when he called me.
Starting point is 00:26:44 Clint tried likes to do that, doesn't he likes to turn the likes on without us knowing? Yeah, sneaky little Clint. You'll hear Dan being mean to me and you'll hear Meg being mean to her husband. Not me, no, no, no. Don't you go and sell this up the river as some. something that it's not. My husband thinks I need to get a new phone because it's totally workable but falling apart a little bit. And I think I can still use it and we don't need to spend thousands of dollars on a phone for me. I don't need one. And he's trying to convince me
Starting point is 00:27:12 to getting you phone. And so I don't see why that makes me a bad person. I do think it's sad that we've come to a point where nearly every two years you ever to spend $1,500 on a phone. I get that meg. But you've had that phone for six years. No, I reckon there'd be very few people listening that have an older phone than you. I mean, I don't think it's over. all that old. I think it's just the fact that the back falls off and you have to keep pushing it back on. Yeah, the back comes off and you can see all the microchipoli. It's fascinating to see how a phone works really.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Not really though. It's the back of the phone that comes off. And then when you open it, there's all the inside, so I can see the mechanics on the side of the phone, the seams have come off. Yeah. But again, it works. Okay, and that was the argument that took place yesterday that Dan and I awkwardly had to sit and listen to, like when you hear mum and dad fighting,
Starting point is 00:27:52 you don't know what to do? I've got... No, because it's going to give me anxiety because you and Dan both got to be mad at me that I got a because I like having a flip phone. No, get a flip. If you get a flip, get a flip. Meg's husband is looking to buy her a new phone, but she doesn't want one. I don't want to spend, I don't think we have the money to buy it.
Starting point is 00:28:10 It's like... What's wrong with the phone that he's talking to you on now, Meg? It works. It's fine. My phone is fine, Clint, I don't need a new phone. I've been on the show for the whole time and she's never changed. Sounds like I'm underwater. I didn't hear that from my husband at the background.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Does it actually start like I'm underwater when you're talking to me on the phone? Here's the thing. Danielle, big listener of the show's text through. She's saying, you're saying, You work hard, Meg, treat yourself. And Danielle, I said that to Meg yesterday. I said you work hard. You are busy at the moment.
Starting point is 00:28:34 You're a professional media woman. Have a new phone. Nope, she doesn't want it. Yeah, it's a business expense. Oh, yeah, but I don't have a business account, so I can't wipe the tax off or whatever you're saying there. Like, phones are very expensive these days. And they are.
Starting point is 00:28:51 They're at least 1,000. We've had a lot of fun with this in the past. It's probably a chance to dust it off the shelf and bring it back, where people don't want to or don't have the money to spend so they find a workaround for the thing that doesn't work the way that it should work anymore. And then unfortunately that workaround, because it does suffice,
Starting point is 00:29:10 it can end up being years and years and years and you're still using the workaround. I remember I lived in a flat for many years and the seals on the fridge had busted many years ago. And so we put Velcro on the side of the fridge. So the fridge was not insulated at all. and every time he'd open it and it would go Like a wallet
Starting point is 00:29:30 Yeah like you're taking off some shoes that didn't have laces Oh I love that I love that One of my favourites is still the old woman Who filled up her lawnmower And then she couldn't It wouldn't turn off so she'd just leave it running on the lawn When she was finishing until it would run out of fuel I don't know if she'd want to say that
Starting point is 00:29:46 I don't know if she if still listening would respect You called her the old woman I think she was only a couple of years older than you Clint Shut up Clit. Okay, I went under the edge. Apologies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:57 She's Clint's best mate. No. What is the workaround that you've found so you don't have to replace it? Yeah, if you're the old woman that mows the lawns, give us a call. I wait under the edge. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. But we want to know what is the workaround you've found so you don't have to replace the thing. So it's just not working how it's supposed to be like, actually, you know what?
Starting point is 00:30:16 That's doing the job for now. And that might have been years ago, and that's still how you use it. All right. We've got Allier on 0800. the edge. Morning, Elliot. Good morning. So you've ever got something broken in your life that you're still using?
Starting point is 00:30:31 Yeah, so for about six months now, my, like, seeing glasses, description glasses have been broken. And the right side arm, the, it just is disconnected. So I've taped it together. The lens pops out every single time I try to clean my glasses. But it's working. But they still work. They still work.
Starting point is 00:30:51 You don't need to spend that money on something else. You're like Harry Potter when he had them taped. Exactly. I love that, Elliot. Thanks, Elliot. Thank you. I love this text that has coming in. Last time this topic came up, I texted in that we had a hole in our kitchen floor for a few years and worked around it.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Hole is still there and husband's still a builder. Brilliant. It's been at least a few months since we've done. Builders are like car mechanics say their house is the last thing to get fixed because they're busy fixing other people's stuff. So this is the dishwasher leaks and it puts about a couple of litres of water on the kitchen floor every time. So every time they turn it on, you know if the dishwasher is clean or not because it's got wet towels underneath it. We need to get air and on.
Starting point is 00:31:28 She said the leg of our couch broke seven years ago. We have a pickle jar holding it up. You have a lot of trust for that jar of pickle. You have a lot of dress. Another one, our toilet doesn't stop flushing unless you jiggle the handle every time. Oh, yeah. Guess get a full tutorial every time they ask where the bathroom is. And there's got a Declan.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Declan. Hey, yeah. Yeah, so I had a 35-year-old wash machine, and every time it would go to spin, you'd have to sit on it so it would balance. Otherwise, the washing machine would try to pretty much take off. Incredible. So you're sitting on a washing machine for like 30 minutes
Starting point is 00:32:07 while it's doing it spin cycle. You've got to try get it to balance, and if you get it balanced to ride, it might go through, but I have recently upgraded, and then that one broke within the first two months, so I think Nana's was better. But you find that the old appliances that nana and grandad
Starting point is 00:32:24 used to have would last their whole lives compared to the new ones these day. Oh, definitely, definitely. I had two months and it was already broken, so yeah, old is better. Someone's texted through, Miles. You're so bang on. These people should be texting in for take the edge off my life.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Yeah, absolutely. Okay, and Erin, your couch leg has been held up by a pickle jar. Is it right? Yeah. She's like, I've been embarrassed. Are there pickles in the jar? Is it empty?
Starting point is 00:32:53 No, no, empty pickle jar. And is it a glass one? It's got a metal lid on it. It's a glass one, yeah. So isn't that risky to be like, if you had three people on the couch, and they're going to shatter? It's actually not really good.
Starting point is 00:33:05 It's kind of like an L-shaped couch, and it's one of the legs that kind of goes in the corner. So it's got another leg on the other side, and it's the back one. Can you see the pickle jar, when you're in the lounge? No, no, it's in the back Okay, wow, so that's why it's been there seven years.
Starting point is 00:33:23 I mean, if it's been doing its job for one year, why not seven? Somebody said I managed to live with a dishwasher that doesn't close unless I lean on it. I get my son to play Monopoly on the floor on the kitchen. Your life is a prison, that person. You need to get a new dishwasher. This is a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:33:37 My car fuels gauge stopped working. I just refill my car every time I see a petrol station and think it's probably low and hot for the best. That is a risky. What if you're going over like the Harbour Bridge or something? But they'd just be like, geez, it has been a while since I've filled up. It's probably low.
Starting point is 00:33:52 And I feel like that's an easy fix as well. You take that into any car electrician. It's probably like a $20 fix. The anxiety of just never knowing. Oh my gosh, I changed our house to electricity and our gas stove. No longer works. We've been cooking on our barbecue for a year. Every meal.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Every meal. Not a night. No, yeah, when it's raining, not so good. All right, make sure if you've texted in with a work around this morning, Dan's right, Tick's Edge to 334. and let us know what you need cash for because we could be giving it to you next. Clint, Megan, Dan. All you need to text the word edge to 33443.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Tell us what you need to take the edge of your life with and we could be calling you back. Yeah, we did that with Jenna. She scored herself 300 bucks. Jennifer from Wanaka. Also good news. Massive dump in Wanika. You've got to stop saying that clincher is. Well, they know what they've been mean.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Yeah, there has been. Just because you're in Auckland, mate. It's important to know what's happening around the country. I know what you're trying to do and I don't think they would appreciate it. Lots of soft power. Is that a powder? It's all bluebird down there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:51 They're loving it. All right. Let's give this person a call. Oh, okay, they have to answer. We'll take the edge off my life. Or the money goes back into the person. Take the edge off my life. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Very quick. She was not missing out on that. Morning, Monique. Good morning. I am so thankful to hear from you guys. Thank you so much. Yay, Monique. You get $300 to go and get your face rejuve.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Whatever you want. Thank you. Thank you. I'm looking a bit haggard as well. Is it looking a bit haggard, is it? You know what? Time's a tough. I just booked some flights.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Had to re-book flights down to Queensland. $475. Welling. Oh, you're going down there to check out the big dump? They've just had, my goodness. Yeah, no. Do a bit of skiing. Manet, honestly, don't encourage him.
Starting point is 00:35:38 No, it's good because these sorts of things, I'm sure you don't actually need it, but if it's something that makes you feel good and, you know, have confidence throughout your day, It's a bit of money and being a single mum, I imagine the money doesn't get spent on yourself if there's any spare. So go do what you need to do. Thank you so much, team. Have a happy Friday.
Starting point is 00:35:57 You too, Monique. She sounds lovely, doesn't she? Yeah, yeah. And SPF, SPF and Worcleriser. It's the most important thing you can do, especially you lads. You're so right. All you need to do is wear some lock every single day on your face. It will be the best thing you can do.
Starting point is 00:36:12 And it could just be a 15, right? It doesn't have to be like the SPF 170. Even if it's not sunny. still, it's like UV protection. Then you can work your way up to the micro-needling. Click is that every week. Which stimulates collagen growth. Yeah, just use fake tan if you would read.
Starting point is 00:36:25 There's lots of things you could do. Clint will do a whole scene-in-air. Clint's doing the dry trout seabit on his face and everything, isn't he? He tries everything. Hey, no, no, no, no. Next on the show, we're going to catch up with Meg's husband Guy, who's found a way to make a little bit of extra cash. A bit of a side hustle with our hook, the musical performance on Monday night.
Starting point is 00:36:43 This could be how I'm getting my new phone. No, I'm kidding. No, yeah, he is in charge of the merch. I have not seen it. I have not approved it. I don't know what he's ordered. I do know that I found a big package outside our house, and it is one of those things that apparently means he can sell merch out the back of his boot, of his car.
Starting point is 00:36:59 So that's all I know. It's a car boot sale. Oh, this is shonky at best. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So hopefully we'll find out more information. Okay, because I want to know, has he got multiple designs? I don't know. Has he got paywave?
Starting point is 00:37:11 Don't know. He weren't at paywave. There's no way his paywave. He does I'll be pissed, actually. It's the edge. Clint Megan Dan. StinkyBit. One runs out.
Starting point is 00:37:21 It is 14 past 8 The Edge. That is the musical that Dan wrote when he was 15. He wasn't to know that 20 years later his friends would find it in his mum's attic. And actually rehearse, practice and perform that script to a live audience. That is happening Monday. God, is it scary that we're literally three sleeps away from this happening, guys. Yeah, it actually is when you think about it. And it's one and done.
Starting point is 00:37:46 It's going to be over and we're like all that time. I think we're ready. You think we're ready? Yeah, I think we're ready. I think there's some moving parts that I'm not 100% sure about, but hey, we'll get there. Okay. My husband, Guy, has taken it on his shoulders to do the merch
Starting point is 00:37:59 for this show, Morning Guy. Morning. What incredible shoulders they are as well, broad, muscular. Now, we caught up with your early doors and sort of floated us as an idea, but then we haven't spoken to since I'm like, how many designs have you got? Where did we land?
Starting point is 00:38:15 Well, we've landed on two. One of them is, it's like, 90% of the t-shirts are one design, and then there's, like, a very small amount of the other design. It's almost like it's a special limited edition. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. Yeah. So, um, I also thought,
Starting point is 00:38:32 I also thought that the show was 50 people coming, but it's 150. Yes. So, um, the numbers are smaller than I thought. So if you are all, if you're listening and you're attending, I'd get there early if you want a t-shirt, because I feel like they're going to sell out. Don't say, no. So not everyone's going to walk away with a t-shirt,
Starting point is 00:38:49 but I do have, good news it's not it's not just t-shirts guys all right so my buddy Carl who works at
Starting point is 00:38:57 copy center they're the ones that are doing all of this is an absolute legend we've got tote bags that's right
Starting point is 00:39:04 tote bags tote bags everybody everybody pick up your jaws put up your jaws from the floor and put it in a tote
Starting point is 00:39:14 there's nothing sexy about a tote no no guy loves a tote guy loves a tote bag I'd ask for G bangers as an underwear
Starting point is 00:39:19 and stuff Yeah, of course you would. What are the designs? Are we allowed to know what's written on the front? Well, I had a bunch of design, and then I was having a chat with Meg, and she's like, no, remember, Guy, we are kind of taking the semi-serious, so we don't want it to be a joke. So I have to throw away all of those designs.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Now they're just like, they're good. I just kind of, one of them might look familiar to a very popular musical. Oh, so plagiarism. It's the same name as the New Zealand City. It looks very similar if you've seen that. So it's almost like a play on. No, the guy,
Starting point is 00:39:54 minimal effort. Oh, it could be. Who knows? There's no musical could be fun good A. Right, got that one.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Yeah, okay. Yeah, so look, guys, it's been real low, low energy, has been put into this.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Oh, cool. But I will be there. I've got the little, little clothes rack. I've got my bum bag with the cash in it. And then,
Starting point is 00:40:16 and then, yeah, I'll be selling them before the gig. How much are they? How much are they? They're 30 bucks. So if you pay $10 for your ticket, you're going to be paying way more for just a t-shirt. You know, one of the jones is the guy gets jumped
Starting point is 00:40:29 because someone listening knows he's got a bum bag full of cash just before the gig. Well, it's not going to be a lot of cash because there's not a lot of t-shirt. And how many tote bags? How much is a tote bag? I haven't figured it out yet. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:40:42 You're doing a car boot sale. You know what you could do is if you need to unclutter your house, Meg, bring some other stuff. You can sell some shit out of the back of the car as well. True. Like pots and hands. I tell you what, tell you what,
Starting point is 00:40:54 this just then, it's T-shirts, tote bags, and a whole bunch of Meg's cardigans. Yes, brilliant. Thank you guys. This is good. Thanks, guy.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Love you, bye. And Georgia also said, do you need a New Zealand sign language interpreter for the show? That's not a bad idea. I don't know if we do, but I wouldn't say no to one. The problem is we do go off script
Starting point is 00:41:15 quite a bit, so they need to work on the fly. I love that idea, though. We should do that. As long as they don't, like they could be dressed as a pirate as well. Yeah, they have to be a pirate. Yeah. Guys, in the sheet
Starting point is 00:41:27 since this morning, we've had surprise, just written in the sheet. And our producer car has been running around a lot and he hasn't been in the booth all that much. All I know is that producer Carl said there is a surprise on the show next. Two of us are going to really enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:41:44 And one of us is going to hate it. I hate surprises. You know what though? I also know it involves the spinning wheel. So that's probably bad for me. So it could be anyone. Yep. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:54 And so as a game of chance, who has the worst luck with the spinning wheel on the show? Me. Meg. Yeah. Let's speak then to the universe for the next three minutes.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Stedge. Clint, Meg and Dan. You may have heard we are doing Hook the Musical to a live audience on Monday night. Yes. The three of us and our webgirl, Bella as well, makes four.
Starting point is 00:42:14 And we've just had in the sheet written since this morning, surprise. Worrying that none of us, know what's going on, but sometimes you've got to trust the producers. Yeah, and look, we're already stressed. And now this is just going to add to the stress. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:29 So, produce car is now walking into the studio. Here he comes. He's just happening, play by play. He's stressed. Look at him. Hi, guys. All stressed. I'm quite relaxed compared to how you will probably be feeling.
Starting point is 00:42:39 I'm proper clammy. When a producer is holding a large pirate-themed letter and a spinning wheel, which is never a good sign on radio. Especially if you're Meg. Yeah, I've not got a good relationship with a... Wheel. Great. Well, you do love a poem.
Starting point is 00:42:53 So, Meg, I'm going to hand you over the scroll. And why don't you find out... Read it now? Read it now. Go for it. I'm needing out the scroll. Here we go. Okay, so the wedding wheel's in the studio.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Meg's about to read. Here we go. Well, it's well done. Clint, Meg and Dan, you're so close to the stage. By now, lines remembered. No need for a page. Sort of. The costumes are fitted.
Starting point is 00:43:14 You've been rehearsing for a week. But time... Yeah, about that. Did I can't write this. It's intentional. It's literally been rehearsing for one week. One week. Yeah, that's all. But time for staff and listeners
Starting point is 00:43:28 to get a sneak peek. In studio is a wheel, much like on a ship on this wheel, your three names are written upon it. Give it a spin and see where it lands. The chosen of you will perform to the fans. Outside in the kitchen lays a stage made for one for a monologue to be spoken and a song to be sung.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Good luck to you all. We can't wait to hear as Clint, Meg or Dan perform live on the air. Oh, God. This is not what I expected it to be. Now, I would say I'm not fully ready. Meg, would you say you're ready to perform right now? No, no, no, not solo. Not solo.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Oh, my God. I've just seen an email that has gone out to the entire office and building. Check your inboxes. It goes, hello, high grieves, this is our address. The Edge Breakfast team has been hard at work preparing for who. the musical written by Dan at age 15 being performed to a crowd of 150 on Monday night. Please gather in the kitchen if you'd like to see a sneak pick of one of the performances at 8.30 this morning. Oh God, oh God, please not me. Please stop me. All right, who's going to give it a spin go?
Starting point is 00:44:33 Meg, you're the lucky one. Let's go, Meg, give it a spin. Let's go, mate. I can only go myself. Okay, here we go. Wait, no, no, it's too soon. It's too soon. Let me get some suspense music.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Oh, God. Oh my goodness. This is going to be good. And in three, two, one. Spin. God, please not me, it's always me, it's always me, it's always me. It's always me. Yes!
Starting point is 00:45:01 Oh, he'll love it. Oh, don't like you, I'd love it. More people to impress. Have you got your hook-out fit? Because I think you should do full rehearsal. Oh, really? Yeah, it's been a time to get, it takes me ten minutes to be dressed. Go on.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Go on. I think you've got an air break, and then a song, so I reckon you've got six minutes. This is shocking to me. Oh, thank God, there was one way away from my name, and I, honest to God, I would. to God, I think I would have quit. You can watch it live on 33433.333,
Starting point is 00:45:29 3343, Bala will send you back the link. I don't know why her name wasn't on the bloody wheel, but still. True. Oh, Meg, what an absolute result for you. You always lose on the wheel. Oh, my luck is turning around, Clint. Oh, Dan, look at him. He doesn't know what he's doing. Get out of here. Get out of here. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:45:44 You're wasting time. Oh, God. Do you know what, Klan, that's the best case scenario because, honestly, people might be impressed because he actually is the best one out of us three. And you know that. Look at my hands. Look at my hands. That would have been so embarrassing for us.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Oh my God, I'm genuinely like proper shaking. I can't stop it. That would be really hard. That would have been really hard. 33, 4, 3.4, 3. It will be live streamed. He will do such a great job. Top off, pants off, Whibby.
Starting point is 00:46:06 All right. And yeah, maybe don't put that on the live stream. But we'll go to a break. And then first song out of the break, Dan will be performing live to his peers in his workplace at 8.30 in the morning. Monologue and song. The Clint Megan Dan podcast. 26 to 9, Clint Megan Dan.
Starting point is 00:46:22 I've never been more excited to be in the studio alone. If you've just tuned in this morning, God, you timed tuning into the edge perfectly. We are doing Hook the Musical, a script that Dan wrote 20 years ago, and we dusted it off and we had decided to, as great friends, to perform it for him. Tick off a dream of Dan's to a live audience on Monday night. It is sold out, and we just found out this morning that we were going to spin a wheel, and whoever it landed on, Dan, is going to perform their monologue and their song
Starting point is 00:46:51 to the workplace and people who have just walked into work probably still yet to have a coffee and they're going to get this. Meg, can you set the scene for me who was out there with Dan and all the employees? Yeah, absolutely. Dan is out on the stage. You can hear him, he's trying to entertain the crowd
Starting point is 00:47:07 and the crowd is quite decent. I've counted in. There's 57 so far. Oh, yeah. With more people flooding in, some people I've never seen before. So it's not just our peers. It's like total strangers. Dan, how are you feeling?
Starting point is 00:47:21 Feeling very good this morning, guys. I'm ready to perform. I wasn't ready about three minutes ago. I feel like I'm ready now. He's the character. He's ready. Do you guys want to see Hook? I will say it takes live to 3343
Starting point is 00:47:34 if you do want to see this on Instagram Live. Okay, here we go. Dan, take it away. You heard my name. Gold click. Captain James Hook. Hook. A small name with a large story.
Starting point is 00:47:50 I'm so embarrassed. And you ask yourself who's the villain? Hook you say. When I oppose the question. Why don't you want to yourself? They're cringing. Is the boy the villain? Pan.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Who is a fan of Peter Pan? Oh God. Oh God. He's really trying to get the taboo. And they're cringinginging. They're crazy. They're the man of Captain Hook. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Hook. Oh, God. There are a lot of people cringing that I've never seen their faces. It's a lot. I don't leave halfway through. Oh, lots of bones up. Oh, they're recording. Should have no filming.
Starting point is 00:48:42 While he's still, watch why he's sleeping. While he's far away dreaming. I don't know. People are like standing to talk between themselves. He's going hard, though. I can make the picture a lot of people covering their mouths with their pants, just trying to hide the fact that they're really cringed. Forming if you've just tuned in to our workplace ahead of our Monday night performance of Hook the Musical.
Starting point is 00:49:43 And he's winning the crowd over. Some people who have got their torches on and they're waving them. Clidge he's gone to that place that he goes to when he has to just like blatchezing him. it all out. I will admit it feels like it's gone longer than I thought it would. He's got into the audience, he's got into the audience, he's lost it. He's a man of the people, me. He is indeed. I still see some very confused faces, like confused. I'm gonna go to, like a half applause. It's like there's like there's obviously some people not applauding. Tough audience. Yeah, Dan. Is that good or what?
Starting point is 00:51:02 Is that good? Mate. Well, what do we think? Oh, there's people just getting up and leaving some cheers to go. What do we think? A lot of confused faces, really. It's all I can say.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Well, it must sound different through people's car radios because I'm getting, you are effing, amazing, Dan, love that. Dan is killing it. I can't wait to see this on Monday. I don't know why, but Dan's singing
Starting point is 00:51:23 actually gave me goosebumps hearing this. Is everything? I think our listeners are our people. Maybe some of the people here are not our people. if I could describe it in any way I mean honestly
Starting point is 00:51:34 just bewilderment okay well I'll let Dan sign some autographs and I'll see you guys back here in a couple of minutes right after this one from 660 I don't know if I should read too much into this one we made it on the edge good on you Dan
Starting point is 00:51:49 he's a team player of nothing else Clint Megan Dan let's go if you've just tuned in you imagine you're walking into work you haven't quite got your coffee yet you're hoping that the machine's going to be free and instead you see a guy
Starting point is 00:52:01 singing an Erosmith song except he's changed the lyrics dressed as a pirate That was our Dan Weavy. Yeah, look, it was electric out there. I mean, there were some people that were very confused and had their hands like their face in their hands. Oh, a free performance
Starting point is 00:52:30 on a Friday morning. Really worried about me. I think Dan did so well because I would not have survived that. Unfortunately, that would have been the end of me. I would have internally combusted from embarrassment. Yeah, watching, watching, watching that and I don't know how you did it then.
Starting point is 00:52:45 And to be fair, some of the people out there, your right clip, they just arrived at work, they're still waking up. It's a Friday. They don't want to be here. And so they're like, what's this loser doing? Well, are you ready to hear from some of your people, Dan?
Starting point is 00:52:57 Yes, my people, and I know my people listen to this show. Good morning, Nikki. Hello, good morning, Dan. Good morning. I thought you were freaking amazing. Oh, good. Like, seriously, talk about being able to hold a tune, completely imprompt you.

Starting point is 00:53:47 Yeah, we're really deep now. We've been rehearsing for just over a week. All committed. All right, let's go to Rachel. Rachel, you can't make it. You live in Christchurch. What did you think about hearing Dan perform that song? It was amazing.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Literally, goosebumps. I, yeah, very jealous that I can't make. We can only hope that the whole audience is full of Nikki, Susie's and Rachel's on Monday. Because then it will be, we'll catch the vibe and it will build into us. But if that happens on Monday night, I don't know how I'm going to cope. No. And Rach, I don't want to get your hopes up.
Starting point is 00:54:17 There's been whispers about taking the show on the road to crush it, specifically because of our wonderful support that we have there. Yeah, we'd love to bring it to Crush Church if that is a possibility after this. We can't promise anything. Well, they've got that new stadium. Yes, we can do, yeah. One NZ stadium. Hook the musical.

Starting point is 00:55:02 that it can get a little naughty. You do know that though. It's okay. Okay, good. It is okay. Yeah, fine. It's like a naughty Pixar movie. We're hoping a lot of it will go over its head but some of them mud hens your kid in the forehead. Are we allowed to bring flowers?
Starting point is 00:55:16 Yes, there's a chance to throw flowers at us at the end. It feels like to. Oh, we are all over this. We are so over this. I love it. Thanks, I mean, you can throw anything at us if you want. Maybe we have one of those. You know, we have lots of signs like boo and ah.
