They recap how Dan’s teenage script was rediscovered and turned into a show, debate Clint’s “funniness” rating, and run Weather Watch plus a theater-themed quiz. Meg’s reluctant freestyle rap returns, Dan shares a wild lads’ weekend, and the team discusses tech mishaps.

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, it is 1 to 6 on your Monday. Hope you had a great weekend. Showtime tonight. Yes, it's going to be a long day for us.

Ho, ho, ho. Are we ready? Yeah, my wife goes to me. So what time do you have to be at the theatre? I was like, oh, we're going to straight from work. And then she was like, oh, so what time are you going to be home then? I was like, I think we're just there all day until the show. She's like, what, like nine hours?

Just doing it over and over and over and over. She goes, you guys won't have voices left for the time we get there. Yeah. No, what I was thinking, if we do a lot at the start, then maybe at about one we could have a nap. Yes. I'm just looking it out there. Did they do that? Did you go, morning?

Hey morning. Did anyone else bring a towel and a toiletry bag so they can have a little shower halfway through the day? I didn't bring a toiletry bag, a towel, but a toiletry bag, yes, for like trying to like... So you can have a shower just won't be able to dry yourself. Nice. You can borrow my towel

and I've got a fresh beer of honey. Thanks, thanks for that car. We need each other. Fresh beer. Okay, yeah, so she's showtime show day today so we're doing Hooked the Musical to a live audience and we'll bring you all the highlights tomorrow.

Yeah, we might have to talk to Katie. She said morning guys, long time listener when it comes to calling and texting our high behind the scenes and just want to say how excited I am to come to Hook the Musical tonight and see you guys. Wish you all the luck and in the performance.

Katie! I can't wait to meet you. A little scene hider, but she's got tickets to tonight show. Yeah. That's cool. Don't sit front row because I spit a lot. Just that's my own tip of.

God, he spits so much. Yeah. Mostly on Meg, he gets me in a few scenes. Clint, Dan, can you not show off? Can you just not like spit? No, damn, please. Dan, can you not show off? I know.

He's like, hey Clint, could you just like not speak for most of the point? Not happening. Clint, Meg and Dan. All right, guys, we're ready. Yeah, we're ready. Just recap this journey that we've been off. For the last, what, four weeks? Yeah, I think it feels like long.

I think it's, maybe five? Five weeks, maybe. Yeah, and today is the day. Sit back, relax, and let's take a trip back down memory lane. This tale began over 20 years ago. When a young pubescent boy by the name of Daniel was given a school drama assignment, the task was to write a short play. Being the overachiever he was, he took it one step further and wrote a musical.

The origin story of Hook. Dan naively thought that show would never see the light of day. How wrong he was. Two long decades passed before a group of friends began sniffing around in Dan's mom's dusty basement. No pun intended. And the long-forgotten script was unearthed. It seemed little Daniel's dream was about to come true.

What, we can't do the show. We're doing the show. For the main characters were held. Clint and Dad both going for Hook. Captain James Book. Clasp my cannon inside of you. Meg and Webgirl Bella both went for Tinkerbell. They were all fucking terrible.

But now we have our leads. The theatre is booked, and they've written each other's blurbs for the program. With theatre credits, including Tina Turner, Mr. Mistopheles from Cats, and Nanky Pooh from Japanese musical Mercado. This will be Meg Mansell's first Caucasian role. But if this thing wasn't already cringe enough, Clint thought he would add some more fuel to the fire. It would be nice as a crescendo moment to have the characters embrace with a passionate kiss. Imagine this big passionate kiss to end the musical and then the curtain comes down.

Oh yes, that's bloody hilarious until you have to tell your partners. What are your thoughts on me kissing Meg? Are you tonguing me? Meg, I'm so sorry. You sound nervous there, Dan. What about Meg's husband? You're just in the audience and there'll be, like, video footage of me kissing another man. That's okay.

Because this happens, it's going to be weird, like seeing your brother and sister kiss, and not like the cool stepbrother and sister where one of them is stuck in a dryer. It's going to change kissing for you. Kissing guys, being like you've been kissing in VHS. You're going to be kissing on Blu-ray next Monday, baby. So even after all of that, the whole night is sold out. through what I can imagine are only pity sales and people who actually want to come and watch this thing.

Oh, I'm in, I'm so excited for it. Hi, guys, this is absolutely brilliant. Shannon is texting, oh my God, my wife and I have bought tickets. We have done some amazing things in our eight years together. But we were both giggling on the phone together just now saying this is by far the coolest thing that we have done so far.

Okay, those people really need to get a life. And they might be bitterly disappointed after this recent expectation check. Where are we, do we think? I think we've got different expectations, Clint. I'm wanting this to be Broadway level. And I think we're currently at best amateur theatre in Wipokuro. Oh, said to Wai Pukado.

I think there are kids' productions that are better and higher quality. Oh, you haven't been to a kid's production in a while. Jesus. Today is the day. Can a group of friends pull together a musical worthy of a paying audience in only four weeks? it's time for Clint Meg and Dan to hit the stage Clint Megandan Oh my gosh

7 o'clock tonight If you've got your tickets Be sure 7 o'clock start Yeah 7 o'clock start Do you know what I'm actually Not most nervous about But the podcast prebit

We've not really discussed what we're doing No you just sit there and look pretty me Clint and I'll lead the way there babes Clint do you know what you're doing Yeah yeah I'll work it out between now and then Yeah you just bring you you your friendly humour and your good looks. My friendly humour.

That's what you described Meg's humour as, eh? Speaking of humour and how funny Meg or we might be, maybe I'll do this in coffee catch up next. I landed a good joke, like a good one driving home, we're all in the car. Wife didn't laugh. And I turned around I said, you don't think I'm funny, do you?

And she said what? And so I got her to rate my funniness out of ten. I'll give you the answer. that she gave me me. I don't know. What would you rate, Clint, out of ten? It's funny. Have a think, and we'll give you our rating next two.

Okay, great. Because you're definitely not out of ten. It'll be hot. Now, Clint, you're a self-confessed funny man. Would you say he's funny, man? He's got a job in entertainment. He gets paid to be funny. Yeah, I don't know if he's paid to be funny.

He's paid to push buttons and be slick. And keep us in check. I think funny is a bonus, but I think... Yeah. I was driving home from up north. with my wife and kids were in the car and something was said and I made a comment

my wife didn't laugh and I thought about it I was like that was some pretty good gear right there like it was quick, it was sharp yeah it was clean and stuff with the kids in the car and my wife just not even a whatever and I was like did you get that and she goes yeah and I go you don't think I'm funny

eh? That is such a loaded question if I said that to my husband and I didn't like the answer it would be like very scary to, you know. Well, yeah, I was like, I've never asked her. I go, you don't think I'm funny. And she goes, yeah, you do.

Not convincing. No, and I go, how funny do you think I am out of ten? And she goes, well, it depends what kind of mood I'm in. And I was like, okay, well, let's pretend you're not in a pissy mood. Just on a normal day, having a good day. How funny am I? She goes, I don't know, I didn't put a number on it.

I go, no, I'm asking you to put a number on it. Now, Dan, you've locked in your number in your head. I've got mine. It sounds like it's getting into a heated argument in the car as well. The kids are in the back, like, oh, God, this is a little good. Here we go. And she goes, like, seven? Generous.

And I was like, she's added definitely, it's like, when a woman asks you how old you think she is. You pick a number you think she is, and then you take off like three more years just in case that, you know, it's offensive. So she's given me a seven, but she probably means a six, and she's added at least a number to be nice. Yeah. I was like, so what you're really saying is the six. He's like, well, no. What did you think, Dan? Do we say our number at the same time?

Oh, I... That's a good idea. Three, two, one, eight. Six. No, no, hold on me. Hold on, Dan. That is so rude. He has you laughing all day.

I don't watch it. No, no, wait, wait, here's the thing. I'm basing it on world-class level, so I'd say Ricky Javis is a test. Oh, you're not hanging out with that. If Ricky Javis was one of your best mates, fear. Yeah, no, but I'll be... I'd be like, I'd be like, I'm cranking up constantly. I was like, he's hanging out with Ricky.

He's hanging out with Ricky every day. So that's fair. I'm a six. You Ricky's not your friend. He doesn't know who you are. No, but if I, I'm basing on it. If I was, if I was doing a show with Ricky Jervais, I would be pissing myself.

Well, if we're doing, like, Ricky Javis is 10, then Clint's a four. Oh, see, okay. Well, I would have said six men, that's mean. World class. Well, you know what? I turned around, and the only number that mattered, because kids, bloody, got me headphones on. I said,

My daughter, I go, Cam, she's actually fun. What? I go, how funny is your dad out of ten? She goes, like a nine, nine point five? Bloody hell. Thank you, Kevin. She's never met Rick and Jave. And I just looked at my wife. That's why she's the favourite child.

I literally looked at my wife as like I told you so, even though I said nothing. And I just looked back at the road and carried on driving. There you go. Nothing funny about that argument. Did you ask Ty's a ped? You do? It was a legend. I already got my 9.5.

I'm not going to roll the dice again, me. Clint, Megan Dan. or shy. This is Clint Megan Dan's Weather Watch. I love doing that voice. It's the old 1950s voice from the broadcasters of yesterday air. It's amazing they actually did used to talk like that, isn't it? Weather Watch around the country was really bad over the weekend. It seems a little

warmer today though. Yeah, well it was freezing temperatures around the country. They said it was some of the coldest days on record. Twissel got to minus five. Somebody's text through. Minus five. Wow. Minus five and Twysel. It's mental. And somebody else takes it. through saying that from Canada. It gets proper coal. There's a minus 40.

I had friends when I stayed with them and they said that in winter they have to plug their cars into like a power socket to keep the engine warm. Otherwise the engine will freeze over because all the coolant and stuff inside the engine freezes so it won't start. I can't imagine living in places like that they get that coldly if to take those precautions.

You imagine how quickly Dan would stick his tongue to something and they wouldn't be able to get his tongue off. You get all your references from dumb and dumber, don't you? Of course I'm not going to go and lick. Why would I be licking something that's frozen. Because we'd tell him, Dan, I dare to put your tongue on the pole.

And you go, no, I'm not doing that. We go, oh, come on, you go, okay. We'll be like, Tam, we need a break. We need a break. Well, yes, in that case, I probably would. I don't want to not have a break. Is he not the same guy who in the middle of the street in Christchurch once just opened up a oat milk bottle and poured the entire thing on his headcloth.

I instantly regretted that. Instantly regret it because I smelled like oat for the whole day. And I don't think I got changed all day either. So I was just, yeah, anyway. That was bathroom, everybody. Let's go to Teresa. Morning, Teresa. Morning. Weather watch around the country, whereabouts are you?

I'm in Brumley, actually, sitting outside my work, waiting to go in. Oh, Brumley's in Christchurch, isn't it? Suburb in Christchurch. Yes. Okay, what's the 10? 7 degrees at the moment, so it's quite warm. Seven. That's Barbie.

What are you wearing? Just a T-shirt. Well, my work shirt. I don't have my jacket on yet because it's not like that gold. It's not cold. It's only T-shirt weather in Christchurch. It's 7 degrees. Wow.

Seven degrees is like summer's day. They breed them tough, eh? Tough nut. All right, this is going to Lisa. Melissa's the Canadian. Hey, Melissa. Good morning. Okay.

What's the coldest before we get to the New Zealand temperature you've got today? What's the coldest you've been in Canada when you used to live back home? Probably like minus 45. Jesus, my God. You can't go out of sight. Nose hairs, frozen, eyeballs, frozen. Yeah. What do you do on days like that?

I can't even imagine it. I can't imagine that cold. You just stay inside, but I guess it's different in Canada because our clothes are insulated, our houses are more insulated. So we're just, I am actually cold here a lot. Really? Wow. Yeah.

So what's the temperature there? You're in Auckland. What's the temp? It's like 10 degrees. A little sweaty right now, not going to lie. This is a bit sweaty. Yeah, fair. Double digit.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I wore a singlet today too. to be fair and then I just thought I'll have a jump but it'll be cold in the morning but then I'll probably sing lit it for the rest of the day. Melissa you're in Auckland you weren't able to come along to hook the musical tonight.

Sorry, I was on a hair appointment. Yeah, she's got her priority sort of. Absolutely, that is the better priority. I gotta get my roots done guys. She would have had that booked in about six weeks ago. I was gonna say unless it was booked six weeks ago. Before you knew about the musical, was it, Melissa? No, probably eight weeks.

Yeah, you can't, you can't change that book, you know, that's fair. Thanks, much. Good on you, Melissa. Her loss. Yeah. I mean. I got to love it. She's like, no, I hear a point with.

We're going to be looking at everyone out in the audience while we're singing our songs, just looking at everyone's craze and like, oh, yeah, look, these people have priorities. To be honest, when I put this in last night, when there was news about the cold temperatures around the country, I thought it would be colder today, but it's 8 degrees in Dunedin. 10 degrees in Wellington, 15, apparently, in Auckland, so it's a balmy day today. The snap has been and gone. All right, cool. Coming up next on the show.

Oh, guys, don't. I actually thought we weren't doing this anymore. I said last week you've got to stop. I don't want to do it. It's stupid. Why don't we ask the people? Meg, you need to look at the run sheet every day. No, but I thought we discussed it.

Well, we're not going to do that again. Well, it's in. It's in. Yeah, we realised that Meg's not very good at freestalling. And we thought if we gave her an opportunity early in the morning, just to have a go, she might be able to eventually get good at it. It's actually a good exercise, isn't it, to sort of get your brain work?

Well, then, why don't you guys have a go at it? Because we're not dumb. Yeah, okay. 3343, do you want to hear Meg continue to freestyle, or have we had enough? Clint, Megan, Dan. Stinky B. Are you style, spark concerned after he choked on water and fell on stage during the extreme heat wave in the UK.

And Ed Sheridan and Martin Garrick's crashed a wedding. Got my friend's Martin here, Ned. They decided to crash my sister's wedding. So they had just performed, Ed and Martin Gerex had just performed, and then they opened their DMs and somebody said, like, can you come crash my sister's wedding? And they did, and they just turned up. Incredible.

Yeah. I guess if you have their power to give people a life memory. Right. And it takes you 20 minutes. How cool. I guess you want them to be fans of yours, though, eh? If he turn up and they're like, oh God, not this guy. Yeah, sucks.

Oh, God, eat him, Martin. Yeah, that's like when McLamore when he crashed to wedding and nobody knew who he was. Yeah, oh, MacLamore. That was bad. No, they didn't. They really, really didn't, Clint. They really didn't know who he was. I feel so bad from them because he's not done that because he wants to.

He's done that because somebody's asked him and he wanted to do that. No, I think he was just at a hotel and he saw a wedding was on, so he went and he was like, I'm going to make their night. And they're like, oh, God. Scandal brought to you by HBO Max. now on New Zealand gets streaming today. Thank you, Clinton. And next on the show,

I've gone through the text, Meg, about the freestyle Friday. I'm trying to get Meg good at freestyling. It's a bit of a backstory. There's no backstory. Please stop the freestyling. I agree with Meg, it's dumb. Yes, Meg has the talent to freestyle. Please know more. I love Meg's rapping. Meg rocks. I'd rather she read the weather.

We need poop dog to brighten our Monday. Continue, Meg. Go, Meg. Yes, Meg. Let's go, Meg. So, what do we think? Is that That seems like 80% no. Yeah, I'd say, no, I'd say there was one text that said no. No, there's definitely more.

And it was just because they don't want to hear you rapping. No, me, Tiff says, nah, make me do it. Okay, she says, nah, make Dan do it. I'm not doing it, Tiff. Oh, it's the edge. Clint, Meg and Dan. Clint, Megan Dan. Or should I say Clint Poop Dole's.

And Dan. So we do this thing every. We've just started over the last week. Meg freestyle rapping because she's brilliant at it. Matt's text in saying my uncle is in a wheelchair. He got up for the first time in 20 years last week to switch the radio off. Yeah, fair enough, Matt. Yeah, that's the same as how I feel about it.

It made a man walk in a negative way. Okay, the context of you hadn't heard it was we were talking about like, we were playing a throwback from 10 years ago, and I remember when I was on, my FM, and we used to a thing, freestyle Fridays. It wasn't my idea, and I hated it. You get two listeners on. It was always offbeat because they were doing it through the phone. and there was a delay, and it was just terrible.

Shocking. And then, I can't remember why. Off here, I said, let me see if I'm good at it, because I do think there's something in, you don't know if you're naturally talented, it's something unless you give it a go. Then I realized off here, I can't do it, and YouTube brought it on air.

That's the reason, but we found out that she wasn't naturally talented at all, and so we're like, this needs to be on here. But then, we're at that point, do we go, well, I'm sure the first time Usain Bolt ran 100 metres, he didn't break a world record. Someone just said, okay, well, let's keep at this. Let's keep training and see if you get faster.

Like with Meg, let's give you a few more goes. I have no natural talent plant. Maybe if I had some, we could hone it. Oh, God, that's evident. But I think what we do is we go to Friday, okay? And I think by Friday, obviously we bury it in six like we have been, because our best fans are in, the listeners, our favourite ones are in sick. And they're more forgiving.

They are. Whereas people might just stumble across us at 8 and go, what was that, you know? So we'll give you a topic. Same beat that we've always had. And you just give it, I will be happy if you do, you get through two verses. You imagine just scenes, absolute scenes in studio. If you just all of a sudden start freestyling and busting out rhyme after rhyme, it'll be like so good.

Have you seen 8 Mile, the movie about Eminem where he plays himself, brilliantly? He's not always good. You know, he has his failures. So I think you can have your failures. Guys, let's stop pretending that you're not just doing this to embarrass me. What's the topic? Let's do anything about pirates, musicals, theatre. Because we are performing our Hook, the musical, today, tonight, to a live paying audience.

7pm. Okay? Anything you want about theatre and music and performing. You can just come and leave you want. Yeah, good. Get a couple of it. That's good. Right now getting a couple of things for rhyme.

Just start fiving. His name is Hook. You thought he was the only crook? Well, actually, he's not that bad. Come watch our musical. or I'll be sad this Culk

Hate this so much Because I see Your dumb faces Looking at me You are You're cringing I was

I was proud of you Okay Turn around Face the wall then Okay Because it's not for you This is so dumb I don't even

It was really good Piss off Doing it because I'm committed Okay good Right Here you go Meet Mansoul Boop Dog

I'm in a play today Let's go I'm playing Ackon You just see his ears rise up from behind and you know he's smiling. She's gone. She actually walked out. Oh, poop dog, eh?

Having a bit of a stick? I'm in a pleaded, eh? Let's go. Clint Megan Dan. Are we talking about our bad boy? No. Friend? Dan's had a bad boy weekend.

No, and I will not have anything spoken about what I did on the weekend because what stays on the lads trip. stays on the lad's trip, that's the sake. Yeah, Dad had a lad's trip on the weekend. Actually, me and Clem, we were all messaging the three of us late on Saturday night. Klim, actually wasn't that late? You're in bed reading your book. Loser. Friday night, Friday night, you're in bed reading your book.

I was watching a cooking show, eating pizza with my husband, and Dad was having a nice night with the lads. And you know what? We do it every year. It's the fishing weekend, so we go away and we don't catch any fish. We just sit around and drink at the house. Well, you know, probably don't why you don't catch the fish? because I saw a guy with fishing rods and a boat and you were doing laps around him

while pulling the fingers in a jet ski and typically I don't think the fish love that no no and yeah they weren't biting and I think it was because I was buzzing around yeah I think so what did you drink because you normally are a ginger beer drinker and not an alcohol drinker so what did you have to drink I think I think it is shorter answers would be what I didn't drink me

okay so you had spirits beer bloody marries rosettes wine shots tequila it was mainly Coca-Cola and Alan P. But I did dabble in a couple of wines. Wines? Yeah, okay, and a couple of reds. Reds?

Yep, yep, yep, yep. Okay. And where did you get the cigarette from? No, Clint. That was not for any air. I don't want to be, I don't want to have the image of being some dirty smoker.

Well, as long as you aren't now, but obviously you were influenced by one of your bad friends. After having half a wine. Yeah. And you're like, go on, give it to me. I'd have a lovely peanut. Dan sent us a video of him inhaling a cigarette

and blowing smoke into the camera and we were like, who is this guy? And Meg was like, that was a butt puff? That was like, definitely a puff. So good on you, didn't get any in your lungs. Yeah, good, good. You know, it was probably like the third cigarette I've ever smoked in my life.

And everybody at the drinks was like, you're not smoking it right. And I was just like, I just want to be part of it. And it's peer pressure. And I will say to this, don't ever give in to peer pressure. Good on you, Dan. So did your mum know?

Don't be like me. No, of course. Now she does. She'll be so ashamed of me. She might not be listening. My mum's the same as me. She's never smoked a cigarette. And she'll be like, oh, you've soiled your image.

If my son gets to your age at 38 and he's only had three cigarettes, I'll be stoked. Yeah, good for him. I'd be like, good for him. He's obviously just, you picked it up, had a bit of fun with the boys. And then not ever got up again. I don't understand it. Because everybody was standing around smoking and I was like, I don't. And they were like, oh, isn't this great?

I'm like, why? What's good about it? Yeah. Like, what's the thing that gets everybody smoking? And Meg, don't talk. I'm just sitting this one now, boys. Yeah. And so, yeah, that's why.

Well, I think you could say that about any advice, though. I would say that about doing drugs. I wouldn't have an, not a single drug. I couldn't understand why anyone would do it. Yeah, but I've never understood it. Yeah, but I think it doesn't give you any buzz, does it? Or if people smoke, isn't it just, was the nicotine doing something? Because I honestly don't know.

I don't know. I'll tell you what gives you a buzz. driving past people fishing on a jet ski at about 70 knots. That's fun. As long as we've got our normal damn back, because we were just not recognising you from the videos that you were sending us over the weekend. Lead the jacket on this morning as well.

No, I do. Yeah. I'm trying to leave the jacket. We're wearing his assless chips. I do so. I have some of them. Yeah. Got a few colours, don't you actually.

Yeah, yeah. Easy for getting up at night. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Megan Dan's more or less. All right, I had to be theatre show themed. Of course, we are performing a hook for the musical tonight at 7pm. We've never, ever, ever, ever performed it on the stage that we're performing it on tonight. So we're going there straight after the show today and doing it for the first time.

Yeah. With microphones, with lights, with backgrounds, with music. With everything. We haven't done it before. This is what they call a full dress rehearsal. I did my dress-up rehearsal last night at home. Okay. So it's the first time I wore my outfit last night.

I know we had this moment where we were going to see Meg live on stage when everyone else does. But that means that you can't be in costume all day today. And it feels like you're missing out. Meg, I don't know if I can see you in a bald cap, sideburns and bushy eyebrows and not lose my shit for the first time. I know that's why I want to do it. I'm going to have to see you. That's what I want to test Dan. I can see you, Clint.

We can see each other. It's okay. Why would you do that to me? Because I just want to see you're the actor of the Toronto to see how well you could hold your face when I walk on stage. Well, who do you think I am? Day Lewis, I'm not a great actor. I'm shaky at best. So the fact that you're going to come on and I'll lose my shit.

You might not. He's going to be like that groom turns and sees his wife for the first time and balls his eyes out, except he's crying for very different reasons. All right, boys. More or less this morning, which musical has had more Broadway performances, Les Mith or Cats? I believe it would be Les Miserables. That's incorrect, Dan.

Bagger. That's shocking to me. 7,845 performances apparently for the original Broadway of Cats. Which musical has been performed in more countries, The Phantom of the Opera or Mamma Mia? Oh, you'd think Mamma Mia, wouldn't you? Wow. Phantom of the Opera is huge,

but I think Mamma Mia in terms of mainstream success. You would know, but maybe you don't. No, I don't know. I would lean towards Mamma Mia. Yeah. He's back. Which musical has more songs in its score? Hamilton or Wicked?

Hamilton. Yeah. Okay. Oh, see, I'm back, Clint. Which musical has won more Tony Awards, the producers, or Hamilton? Oh, I don't know. I would lean towards Hamilton. He's gone again.

See you later. Can you bring you back for the final one? Which musical is a longer runtime, the Lion King or Wicked? Oh, God! Clint, I'll leave this to you. Okay, I say Wicked. Wicked? Yep.

Because I would have said Lion King there. Yeah, much longer than hours, 245 minutes. is about 25 minutes. Oh, pushing 30. I reckon with a bit of, we'll have a few more pauses, just absorbing in the applause and the last.

Oh, you think so? Oh my gosh, yeah, because I run through when we do it just slick, it's about 25, 26 minutes. So you think it's going to get to 30 minutes with the applause? I think when you walk out in a ball cap

and bushy eyebrows, people will clap for at least two minutes. And people will be laughing and Dan won't be able to start his line because they'll miss the scene, so he's going to have to pause, pause, pause. And then I'll forget my lying because I'm put off by your beauty.

Put off off. Yeah, the big kiss is happening tonight, Dan. True. It depends how long you hold that for as well. Dreading it. Absolutely dreading it. Okay. Honestly, I don't think I've ever been more nervous for anything than this kiss. All right, if you've asked for cash, for whatever reason, something selfish, something necessary, just something you want,

we could be calling you next and giving it to you, but you must answer would take the edge off my life or it goes back into the $30,000 prize pool. The only people. Take the edge off. Take the edge off my life. You could be winning whatever you need to take the edge off. The only rule is that when you pick up the phone,

you must answer with, take the edge off my life. The cash is yours. If you don't, goes back into the $30,000 price pool for somebody else to win. Before we put the call through, Meg, I didn't know you could get this thing that this person's asking for. Me, they had to Google it. Yeah, it's like, it's a, can I say? Yeah, go on.

A portable dishwasher. Yeah, it goes on the bench. It's a portable benchtop dishwasher like you might have an air frow. Just sitting on the bench. Does that mean it's because it's portable? Is it battery operated? No, surely it plugs into power, but you don't have to have it like plumbed in.

Be great camping. It would be, wouldn't it? You just pour water into the top of it. Now, that is glamping. If you've got a portable dishwasher, I wouldn't say that's camping. I'd be edge off my life. Yeah. Frank.

You're getting your dishwasher, buddy. Cut away. Well done. How many do you live with, Frank? I just mean my missus, but like a small house. So it's like, just, it's, if there's a couple of plates, it just looks so messy, and it just gets me so angry. I so do what you mean.

I saw in your entry that you said, after a long day of work, I can't relax until all the dishes are done. And if it's just one thing, that it's going to take one job off your shoulder so you can relax even those 10 minutes, you know, 50 minutes earlier, it must be so nice to know that that's about to happen. Yeah, yeah, pretty OCD me, so. Are you in one of these places my wife and I were the same, where we were in, like, it was like one room.

The kitchen, the bedroom, the lounge are all in the same space. And you're right, if you have a messy kitchen, the whole house is messy. Yeah, yeah, the whole house is messy. Yeah, yeah. Oh, good on you. All right, well, 350 bucks coming your way so you can buy it, Frank. I thank you so much. You're a while, man.

Which would you rather, an OCD partner who wants everything tidy all the time, or a partner that's like, ah, it should be right, just leave it. This should be right one. I need the other one. The she'll be right, just leave it? No, no, I need the person that is very fastidious because I, otherwise, the house will be a mess. Same.

Same. You need this, I need somebody to push that. I only get really angry if it's really messy. Like, it looks like a bombs hit it. Yeah. Otherwise, I'm fine. Oh, I walk in and I'm like, instantly, I'm like, I can't concentrate. It's so bad.

I did a load of washing at like 4.45 a.m. this morning. Did you? I'll sort that out and put that on with kids. It's just endless with the washing, isn't that, Clint? It's endless. It's endless. I just don't even know. We need to just get rid of all our clothes and just have,

the same uniform. My washing just seems to get done. Do you know what? I saw this on Instagram. Everyone has a bucket. Like mom, dad and the kids will have a bucket. Rather than folding everything, they just split it all up into who's-a-hous and just throw it all in the clean laundry bucket. And then it's everyone's problems. You either fold it and put it away yourself or if you don't care, you just rifle

through this clean bucket of laundry when you're looking for a sock, which nightmare for me. But that's what she does. She goes, I'm not spending my time folding everyone's washing. So everyone has their bucket. I don't even know if we've got one of We must. Daniel, bad boy. I'm joking, of course. We don't.

When I was at home, living at home, I'd throw it down the laundry shoe and then would come up, fold it on the end of my bed and I'd be like, oh, right next to the drawers. Couldn't have put it away, Mum? Laundry shoot, energy, eh? Like, have you ever a laundry shoot in your house, you've made it. I've always said that.

Unless you're the mum that is doing it. You've got teenage boys chucking down their laundry at you. At the Randalls, they had the butler doing it. Meg and Dan Close families I guess We are one In terms of

How I just In terms of what Things you do In your household That you know A lot of other families Probably don't do

But I would It's like a poo knife or something No That's a Meg Mansell Okay so you've got a weird family as well No no no That's not me

That's the urban How big are you Pugh is having a knife I'm sorry Let's talk about that another time And move on. Obviously, we have Hooked the Musical tonight, and just by chance as well,

I had some friends of ours coming up from Wanganui to stay with us over the weekend, and they left for their Fiji holiday on Sunday morning. So they wanted to fake tan and stuff before they go, get a bit of a jump on the competition. They're already there. Definitely friends of you.

Yeah. So I said, don't worry, I got them in the Bondi Sands and stuff, and I say, I'll sort you out. I remember that, yeah. And obviously, I was like, they're going to show up. and I'm going to tan them up. They're going to be all nice and brown. I want to be nice and brown.

So a couple of days before they arrived, I was like, I'm going to get my tan on. And it'll work the nice for the musical and whatever under the lights. Peter Pan's tan, isn't he? Yeah, me he's flying around. He's not putting an SPF on. You never see a pasting pan. Literally, I could already feel the trauma coming for Cam.

Go on. So I do all my body. I can do it all myself. It's my big deal. And my wife normally does my back. She... You can't do it. to your child, Clint.

She's got to go to therapy one day and say, I have to fake tan dad's ass him back. I did. I did the ass. I just needed just a little bit of the lower back. And then obviously, like the middle and my wife's like, no, I can't. I can't do it.

I can't do it myself. So I was like, Cam. Oh my God, honestly, man. She was on the phone to a friend and I was like, Cam, and she's like FaceTiming. And I'm like, no, turn that off. Turn that off. Turn that off.

Don't tell her. Don't come into the bathroom. So she's like, sorry. got to go, my dad needs a hand with something. And she comes around the corner, she's like, what? And I was like, can you just, she goes, yeah, no questions, just puts them, puts the mitt on. Oh my God, of course there's no questions. And she goes, how long is this

going to take? I was like, well, long, it's, until my back is the same color as my front. So she's like, doing her, and she goes, how about that? And I'm like, well, yeah, but you just go to rub it a little bit better. So she does all the thing. And then she goes back to her room, and she calls her friend back. And I just hear her friend go, what was that about? And he goes, I just had to tan my dad

Oh my god That would have been of fun Did a day that night for that girl's family She got to tell my parents I was like Yeah enough enough Get them to call like child youth and family I don't think I've even even fake tan my mum

And I'm her daughter Really? She's flexible though Can she get her own back That'd be disgusting What maybe she can I can't You need to get one of those things Like a little thing that's on a stick

So you can do it like when you wash yourself from the shower. I've got a long mitt, but it's not as good to use. I just rather get my 10-year-old daughter to just relax in the back. Honestly, as long as you're saving up for her therapy, it's fine. And she's going to be addicted to tan next. She'll be the next one, doing it. She was back on FaceTime and had to do the run down the hall.

No, no, no, no, no. To a hall to the bathroom. Just when kids are on FaceTime, you just never know. She's like, and this is the front door, and this is the hallway, and there's dad. My goodness me. It does not look like your back's much darker than your front. I don't say that. You've gone like New Zealand sunset on the front.

African sunset on the back It's Clint Megan Danes What you want you what you want to watch What you got Few stories to chuck on your radar for 29th of June Monday To kick things off Have a bit of a guess What do you think

Is the longest time anybody can hold their breath underwater Seven Clint would say he could beat it Seven minutes you reckon Yeah seven to eight Seven minutes I'll give you the answer at the end Before we get sat though

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Think of the Like if you've ever broken up with someone What you'd lost in the relationship Maybe you'd purchase things jointly And then one person in the end got them When you broke up Worse would be a pet

Especially if you got them together Because then what? Yeah Well there would be no one that beats this They're both disputing Because they obviously split up Many years ago now But they're still disputing over the Chateau

Miravelle Which they own in France And it's like a vineyard as well Working vineyard So you can buy wine from there 750 million it's worth. And that's American dollars as well. So they're fighting over who gets the ownership of that.

And it's in the courts. They fight into the death. I can see why you wouldn't just be like, oh, you just have it. It's a billion dollars almost. And I think Angelina's had, like, custody of it since the breakup. And now Brad wants it.

Now they're fighting. Of course he does. Barely none of the kids talk to him either. No, they've dropped his last name. But it's so funny, all of them are still saying that it's Angelina Jolie's, fault for like putting her kids against their dad, which is just outrageous. For some reason, people can't see any wrongdoing.

If your kids are dropping your last name, that's the dad's fault. Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, similar, eh? Like, where they have no relationship with their kids. No. But something going on there, right? Yeah. In a very, very large study that has just been released, teens who use cannabis or marijuana may face a substantially greater risk of developing serious mental health conditions.

This was done of a study of 463,000. teens. So like a big study, not only these smaller ones. So half a million teens, they studied them and it looked like they developed psychotic and bipolar and mental health disorders more often, but delayed by two years.

So people didn't really connect to them. But if they had marijuana younger, they were more likely to later down the track, have struggles for mental health. Something to think about. And it looks like Instagram is eyeing up TV. They're looking to have an app that you can access, like your Netflix, or your HBO.

where you can actually just go and watch Instagram Reels on TV. Another subscription service. Yeah. Well, maybe it's free. I'd imagine. If it's free on your phone, it should be free on TV. But if you're like, oh, what do I watch? And then you just start scrolling reels on television.

Oh, that's scary. Oh, enough. I've got enough. I don't want another one, even if it is free. And the free ones are never as good, are they? All right. Well, okay, please you bet. It's a Croatian free diver who has just broken the world record.

I think if it's anything over seven minutes, they had a secret breathing apparatus. I said 7A. So far off, 29 minutes and three seconds. There's no way. There's absolutely no way that's possible. Almost half an hour underwater. There's no way.

Google it. I've checked it because I was like, maybe that's an internet fact, Instagram. No, checked it. Double-checked it. I'm sure that they did it, but I reckon there was a secret thing where they had it. Yeah, I reckon.

It cheated. You'd be braided. Your brain needs oxygen. Yeah, but I think they preload with oxygen. Don't they do it? They don't they do that? They don't they do it? They go, fh, fh.

I could do that for two days and still to hold my breath. I'd like three minutes. Clint, Megan, Dan. Stinky B. Hook the musical tonight takes to the stage in front of a paying audience for the very first time. And one of the most important roles in the show, bar obviously Smee, Hook, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell is the narrator. Because they're the person that kind of,

they're not necessarily a character role, but they keep the whole show flowing between scenes. This is the kind of stuff that I had to write and adapt because this wasn't in your original script. No, it wasn't. Yeah, it stitches all the great moments together. And that can make or break, I mean, keeping that momentum,

can make or break the show, I think, of getting the character right. And would you believe it? We haven't bloody cast the role yet. So we're holding auditions right now. Hey, good morning, Nipia. Our first audition up for the role of, of narrator.

It's an absolute pleasure. Now I will say this, NEPIA, you're very good at voicing stuff. He used to do the producer diaries and he's very upbeat, isn't he? Upbeat, I don't know, is that what we want for the narrator? That's the question. You make it your own? Okay, I think I'll try to go as epic as possible, you know? Ready?

Music? Every epic story needs a setting, but this story has a setting like no other, Neverland. Oh, I like it. A place where you never grow up. an island rich with life and happiness. Mermaids and fairies. That's all we need. Stop. I'll stop you there.

I've still got more to go though. You know, no, no. I'll stop me there. I liked what I did like was the gravely nature of your voice. You'd change your voice. What I didn't like, it was too positive. Ah, shit. It's hard for me to not be positive.

He's the most positive person. I did like the diversity that you would bring to the show as someone who has more Māori than I do. Yeah, Kiyara. Yeah, currently as it stands, it's a very white show. Yeah, yeah. So, thank you, Nip. Thank you.

Brady. Okay, thanks guys. Brady's got a very unique voice as well, I would say. He does. Yes, much and less positive, which is maybe what we want. We're going to extremes here, the most positive and... The most monotone, eh? And I would say you're monotone.

No, I think Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh is more monotone than you. A little bit. That's a good comparison, eh? So, again, Clay some music, let's hear... Every epic story needs a setting. But this story has a setting like no other. Neverland. A place where you never grow up.

I do like it. Yeah, not bad. Now, my positives here, it's more epic sounding than Nipias. Oh. Sorry, to Nipia. That's a one. It sounded red, though. That was the problem.

Oh, yeah. He was reading it. I know, but you want to make it sound like you've read it before. It sounds like that was your first time reading it. I've got one more person. One more? I guess you're still going to one in three shot. Last one, we might be saving to last because they're a favourite to win.

Who knows, lads? It's anyone's game so far. Click. Hook, the life and times of Captain James Hook and the people of Neverland. We are going to be performing to a live audience tonight. 7pm, if you've got your tickets. We will see you there. But the guy who just voiced that, his name is Richie,

and he does a few little voices here and there. Yes, he does. He's a very good voiceover artist. And we were like, would he take time out of his life away from his children to maybe iterate our actual theatre show? He is a voiceover guy He is also, I think, the favourite to win the role this morning

Oh, thank you. It's been a while since we've been on the show, actually. Yeah, look, we love you. You always say no. Okay, Richard, give it a go. Yeah, okay. Every epic story needs a setting. But this story has a setting like no other. Neverland.

A place where you never grow up, an island rich with life and happiness, mermaids and fairies, and like most stories that stand the test time there is a dark underbelly. Our story starts here with Captain James Hook. Oh he's good. Oh, Ivan Bridges! You can make anything sound good. Have you tried that before, like just making the most boring things sound good? Yeah, I'm pretty, I'm pretty versatile. So, so what are we, how am I, 1500 starting and then...

Right, money. Yeah. Oh, we could give you some Tappac Theatre credit. Ooh, no, we couldn't have access to that. We've got some merch. Yeah. We've got these bladder support pills. I don't. These are dads. You were like them. Oh, yeah, actually, could you read the back of the bladder support pills and see if that sounds?

Could you make anything sound great? Yes. Oh. You're trombone. You need to go. I'm so old now. Okay. Efficient control of the bladder requires a healthy bladder tone and function.

Urox supports and improves bladder tone and promotes normal bladder tone. promotes normal bladder control. And I need glasses. Consider the job yours. Let's go. Take the edge off. Take the edge off my life. You could be winning whatever you need to take the edge off.

Get 30 grand's worth of cash giveaways and we'll keep doing it until it's all given away. But you need to answer the phone. We'll take the edge off my life. And this one, Meg, if they don't answer, we're going to feel bad. Very much so. This is one that I will. This is a needed one. Read it out first then.

Okay. It says, I would love to get our youngest son, who is just her nine, a mattress for his bed. He has been sleeping on a foam mattress, and it has a massive sag in the middle. Nothing but worse than a saggy mattress. $250 would help so much to get him a mattress. And at nine, I think as a child you can kind of get to a point of sleeping on a kind of foam mattress. But when you're nine and you're a young child going to school and doing sports. I need a new mattresses.

My wife and I've got that role together. You know where you roll? Oh, yeah. Or all together. Sometimes it's good, but... It's already making me nervous. Don't do this. This is...

Oh, too many times. He's going to grow up with a funny spine. Yeah. Clint. Come on, Cassie. He's going to have hip issues. Too many rings for me. Take the edge of my life.

Oh, my God. You kept us waiting there! Cassie! I don't was so nervous to answer the phone. How did you do that? Where was the phone? Did you run and get it? It was, well, it comes up private number

and that's scary at 8 o'clock in the morning. Oh my gosh, Cassie. Well, congratulations. It is. It's $250 to get your son a mattress. Oh my gosh, he's going to love that so much. Thank you. But also, who are you hiding from,

that you're hiding from a block number? Do you owe money to the IID? The IID, definitely. Not that I know of. Okay, yeah. Oh, congrats. What's your little guy's name? Samuel, and it was his birthday yesterday,

so this is even better for him. Happy birthday. Morning, Sam. If he's listening this morning, what did you guys do for his birthday? Cassie. Well, he was actually six, so nothing. But we still had cake and everything, so. And now he gets an awesome mattress.

Yeah, go and get him a silly post-trapedic. One of those ones that makes you walk better. Makes you walk better. I don't think it's fine. You've seen the ads. I don't think Xavier has a limp or anything. Oh, God, I'll just fine, then. Keep on the phone.

Gassie, have a great week. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Oh, isn't that cool? Winter is Texan saying, I'll buy her a mattress. That's lovely. And our list is amazing. We do it the best. Yeah, when you're in a position to do so and you can, how cool.

A lot of nerves in the studio this morning because today is the day. Hook the Musical, 7pm tonight in Auckland if you're coming along. Can't wait to see you. Yeah, I've got an email from my dad's thing. I hope everything goes well tonight as they say in the trade, break a leg and have fun. Oh, okay. None of us have seen Megan. We won't see Megan, so she comes out on stage.

And Dan's worried because he has to act on a scene with her. knowing that he hasn't actually seen her until she walks out for the first time. It's like, you know, when you see your bride for the first time on the wedding day. Similar with this. But the problem for me is that Meg's told me about her costume and her sideburns are grey and her eyebrows are black. That's what Smee has. Does he? So you're saying my bride's bald with sideburns?

Yeah, yeah. I went out of this marriage. I just thought the sideburns match the eyebrows. No? No. No, he's got quite a look. So the curtains don't match the drapes. Is that what you're saying?

I don't know. Oh, yeah. He does have. Black. Hi, everyone. Makes to show me a cartoon photo. True to the character. Clint, Meg and Dan.

Oh, my gosh. Went away for the annual fishing weekend. Friends of ours, and we all go down. It's the same group of lads every year, and we don't really do much fishing. Yeah, how much did you catch? None. One of the guys called it incredible trout, actually, like a trophy. Beautiful beast. We had some sushimi.

Is that what you call it? Sashimi, yeah. Anyway, on the way down, because we all sort of kind. pulled down. There was a few people that had already got to the house and so we were driving down. I was in the backseat and we had the guy driving and then there was

Ollie and a group of the guys that were already there at the house. Oh but you did have a guy driving. It was guy driving. Good. Yeah. It was one of those self-driving cars. Dan's nervous. And on the way I'm nervous about talking about this because it's super embarrassing for this person. So why we're on the way, Dan,

it was discussed that we need to stop and get some stuff. Oh yeah, they pick up groceries. You pick up some groceries, some supplies for the weekend. You guys would have already had that sorted. 100%. It would already be in the car. It would be a spreadsheet of who picks up what. Lads are like, oh, there's not going to be any food when we get there.

We should probably stop. Ships and dip. And there's a dude called Toby who was supposed to be coming down on Saturday. He ended up coming with us on Friday. So it wasn't planned. It was last minute. He got in the car with us and we were driving down. The driver of the car was messaging via the Apple CarPlay.

So there's a function on the car where it'll say message from Rura reads it out. And then you can reply all vocally so you don't need to text on your phone. Oh wow, I didn't know. So just keep in mind, Toby's in the car. Okay. The dude's driving along and we've been organizing food. And then this message comes through on the Apple CarPlay. Message from Ollie.

Are you guys stopping for groceries? Just remember Toby is coming too. Tightass never contributes money to anything. Now, the person that was messaging didn't realize that Toby was in the car with us. And so he hears this whole thing. And like there was a point where it was so awkward because he is renowned for being a tight ass. Like we'll go out for lunch. Sometimes we go to this place called The Landing where it's like we get food and stuff.

And he's the only one that never puts forward any money. It's like the only way you can come back from that is by being like, oh, I knew he was in the car the whole time. It was a super awkward for the rest of the weekend. And did he overpay? Just to try. No, the funny thing was he did he still hasn't paid anything towards it. But he sort of leans into it.

So I don't actually think he really cared. Like I think he was like, oh yeah, I'm a tired ass. Who cares, man? Wow. And he's the one that's probably the richest out of all of us. If I sent the text as well, I'd be livid of the guy who was driving going, don't play my messages to you out loud. Never safe to play messages out loud.

So we just leaned into it. the whole weekend he was just Toby the Tied ass. Meg doesn't play messages out loud after, you know, you got doctor's results in the car rate. And you answered the phone on speaker and your mum was in the car. Oh, that's right. They're like, you haven't got syphilis. No, it was syphilis. It was clemenia.

Cometia. Oh, you didn't have clemedia, which is great news. No, no, I did have it. Oh, you did have it. Oh, my God. Sorry, the test has come through positive, Meg, you've got chlamydia. Yeah. And her mum was, what did your mum do?

It was years ago, guys. Which makes it even worse. I was just, before I was, like, with my husband. I was just driving the car. I answered on speakerphone. I'm sitting in the passenger seat and I'm pretty sure she just slowly turned her head to look at me. And I'm just like, eyes on the road, Megan.

Eyes on the road. Oh, she would have had a follow-up question. Link is on. Don't answer on speaker. Don't answer texts out loud in a car. It's just a rule. You just don't. Yes, yes, yes.

Lessons learnt. Now, there's a couple of options here. We could do how we've searched up by technology. Obviously, Apple CarPlay. We learn from the mistake there. Just don't let them play. out over the stereo. You've got people on the car.

Good rule. I think technology has really stuffed a few people up. Yeah, do you do like, what's your tech rule now? After you had a bad experience, you now have a new rule because your mate will be like, don't answer texts out loud. Like we've heard it all before, but were you in your room

having some alone time and you forgot you were connected to the Bluetooth speaker in the lounge at the flat? Yuck! Yucky! That's happened to a few people. Yuck! My popper at the moment, I don't know if being stitched up by technology or he's just He's got new technology, he got a new phone. And I was up north for a funeral over the weekend.

So the timing of this was bad. But I was like, oh, my pop is just posted to Instagram on his Instagram story. It's just a photo of him and my nana Ann, and then some other lady. And then he's put like some sort of giff over the front. It says, I'm dead with a coffin. And it's just over the front of his wife. No, she didn't die. Oh.

But I just thought it was, we were there for a funeral. Now he's, I don't know what's going on and how he's done that. Does he know how to do Instagram stories? I don't know. I didn't even know how to find that gift. I said to my mom, what's your dad up to? And she goes, I don't know, he's got on your phone. I think he's just button bashing.

Brilliant. He's obviously gone, that's good enough to post. Put that there. But how does he even do that? Wow. Clint, Megan Dan. Dan was on a boy's trip and one of his mates, Toby, who's a bit of a cheapskate. I was in the back seat of the car.

The person that sent a text to the driver who decided to play it in the car. Didn't know that. Message from Ollie. Are you guys stopping for groceries? remember Toby is coming too and that tight ass never contributes money to anything. Tight ass Toby we call him. He was in the car, yeah. Did everyone call him tight ass Toby for the rest of the week?

Yeah, that's caught on. Before that it wasn't because now it's out in the open because we've all talked about it behind his back. It's good to you all boys. I do imagine if that was a girl's trip and a girl's car ride, I don't think it would have been as easy to be brushed off. But you know what? You can't be annoyed that everyone's calling you a tight ass if you're a tired ass and you don't

contribute to an actual weekend away where everyone's chipping in the same money and you don't. And the other thing was he did bring some beers, but everybody brought like nice craft beers. He brought like these shitty crappy things. So nobody wants to have his ones. Yeah, so he was just drinking his own. I think that's also fine. Everyone's got budgets.

As long as you don't go and drop your six pack of lion red in the fridge and then go and drink everyone else's. And the problem is if he was like strapped for cash, it'd be fine, you know, fine. But he's not. He's far from it. Yeah. All right. I did see a text from

Nathan's saying you can use one ear pod as a microphone and have one in your ear to hear. I suspected that people were talking shit about me so I left one in the room and left and they did indeed torture. Who knew that? I'd rather not. I'd rather not know. I can't believe you had the guts to do that. So if you have earpods, you can change the

setting so one's a microphone and then one is to listen. So if you ever see one air pod just sitting on the desk at work, beware. That's some like, 007. That's a new fair on life. Stuff right there. Oh, my 13 year old got caught churning an exam with old technology.

A pen. She wrote all over her arm and is now going to get suspended. Oh, no. What's worse is that she's coming to hook with me. Oh, we're going to have to give her some crap tonight. You know, I cheated it as well in an exam once. Did you?

Yeah, and you were allowed to take drink bottles in there? Yeah. I remember writing a whole load of, like, notes under the, like, my zone wrapper thing. And so you could, like, slowly peel it back during the exam and, like, see the notes. Oh, my gosh. Don't do that at school, no.

And you still ended up here. You're still here. Yeah, yeah. All right, Lauren, what's the rule when it comes to technology now? Hey, yeah, so we use Microsoft Teams at work, and I was complaining about someone to someone else, and I think it was into the person I was complaining about. You must have been sick. No more complaining and moaning on Microsoft Team.

What were you saying about them? Can you say? No. No. Okay, but then can you just tell me why even afterwards? How soon did you realize you'd made a mistake? They instantly reacted to the message, and I was like, oh, I'm going to want to say. Yeah, you must have just been saying. I would, honestly, I would go into hybes.

Yeah. Yeah, I started sweating. I went bright red, and I was like, I've got to leave. Okay, Lauren, let's say you're walking down the corridor, turn the corner, and as you're walking down from distance, you see them walking towards you. What is normally said or what gesture is or isn't had as you pass each other? now at work? There's just not much talking at all.

Not even just an eyebrow lift or a wave? Nothing? No, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I imagine everybody else knows that you did it as well. It was in the Zoom meeting so they know the awkwardness. Oh, heck. Okay, Lauren, thanks for your call.

Thanks, Lauren, we've got a dull past to our must-see movie. Evil Dead Burn, probably quite fitting. In-cinemas, July 9th, so you can check that one out next Thursday. Oh, darn. I mean, we could go on forever about this. Bluetooth, risky, anything to do with Zoom calls, risky. Just always assume your mic's on. Yeah, we're going to catch up with the organiser of the Tappak Theatre

where we're doing our Huck the Musical this evening. Yeah. So we're going to chat with Sarah. Sarah isn't Cam, who initially showed us around the theatre. And I remember you guys did a few little dummy songs. And I think Cam was like, what is this hokey piece of crap? Yeah, so Sarah hasn't seen us yet. I heard that the day after we were there, Cam left.

He quit his job. But I think Cam, if he is there, I'd love to know tonight is going to be like, wow, these guys have come a long way in four weeks. He's going to regret leaving. Also, if you do want to come along tonight and you are in the Auckland area, we've got the very last double pass to give away next. 0,800, the edge if you would love to come. Tonight is the night after four weeks of preparation.

We will take to the stage at Tapak Theatre in front of a live paying audience to perform a musical script that Dan wrote when he was, 15 years of age. Yeah, call us Oh 100 at the Edge if you want to come along and maybe plans of change. You can come now. We've got one more double pass. This theatre that we're performing in is infamously also the same theatre that they held auditions for season three of New Zealand Idol. Also, you've got a certain feeling when you walk in there, Clint, don't you?

Because he auditioned for that. Frankie Stevens. Yeah, yeah, indeed. And Sarah, good morning from Tappak Theatre. Thank you so much for having us. Good morning. Thank you so much for having me. Oh, you know what?

We are so excited for tonight, Sarah. Thank you so much for having us. We went to a lot of theatres. A lot of people didn't want us. Don't tell you that. I'm sure that's not true. And I remember when we first walked in, we got told, you know, you can have this many seats or you could max it out with this many.

We thought, wouldn't that be nice? Well, it turns out we got the max seating. So you can have to get every chair you've got, Sarah. Yep, it's awesome. We love having a sold-out show at our venue. Yeah. So what shows do you usually put on there, Sarah? Is this the first sort of adapted musical of Hook?

Yes, I think it probably is. I think we have had a version of Peter Pan many years ago, but nothing quite of this nature. We're really excited about it. Are you going to be watching it from the seats or the sides? If I can sneak in, but, you know, you guys have sold out all the seats. Oh, it'll make me nervous. It's done.

That Peter Pan show that you had, did they have a way to make their Peter Fly? No, I think unfortunately that didn't happen, but are you guys going to fly tonight? Well, I thought we would have spent a little bit of the budget on an apparatus that would allow me to do so. It looks like at this stage that is not the case, but I still think these guys might have a little surprise up their sleeve, so we'll see. No, we don't. No, Sarah, we don't know. We never know.

We never know the links friends will go to, Sarah. Sarah, I've also seen you've got a show coming up on the school holidays, Cheesy Mouse's Monster Mashup, which is a cute little thing for, I guess, family to go to. you can do bubs on laps and stuff and get tickets along to it. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. You can get tickets on our website. Yeah, it's a fifth night show. We play two shows a day at 10 and 12, and it's for the whole family. So there's stuff for the kids, but there's also stuff for the grown-ups in there as well,

because we want them to be entertained too. Oh, great idea. I didn't know you did those sorts of things. And if you want a pre-show performance for the Cheesy Mouse Monster Mashup, we're open to doing some songs from Holt the Musical. Oh, look, you know, I might take you up on that. Yeah. You're definitely pulling a crazy.

tonight. So if you can get your audience into our show as well, that'd be great. Yeah, if you're in Auckland and you've got a pass to the zoo, that just across from the zoo, there's a car park there, so you could hit both in the school holidays.

Hit the zoo and off to the tap of the theater. Absolutely, yeah. And Sarah, right now we have got one more pass to give away, right? Because it is sold out, as you say, but there we've left one to the last minute. Natasha, good morning. Good morning.

Did you miss... So you missed out on tickets originally when they went on sale? Totally missed. Okay, so you can make it tonight 7pm Tapak Theatre in Auckland you'll be there? Absolutely.

The tickets are yours. They're yours. Thank you. Nice. So currently there is some scalped tickets on Trade Me as we speak right now. Hey, someone's put them on there. They're currently sitting at $10, but reserve is not met.

No, I don't know why they've made the reserve. I've also just seen somebody else saying that they can no longer make it anymore so you can... I think they're going to sell them in the Edge Podcast fan page. Go into our Edge Podcast fan page if you want to get some spare tickets.

Okay, otherwise, if you do want to go and book your tickets for shows that are going to be on during the school holidays at Tappac Theatre, TAPAC, T-A-C-O-G-N-Z, and we are going to be there nice and early after the show, loading it up with props. You know how we put in like a whole list of props? And the boss said, get them all. Yeah.

So I don't know how it's going to be on stage for us, but we'll see. I've heard that if the performance goes well, they're going to name the Green Room, the Meg Mantle Green Room. Oh, piss off this stupid gag, Dan. Yeah, and the men's toilets, the Clint Randall men's toilets.

And what is Dan where we get? The stage. Want to hear more of Clint, Meg and Dan, but completely unfiltered. Catch the Overthinkers audio and video pod every single day on the Rover app. All wherever you get your pots. Overthinkers.
