This is a podcast from Rover.
And your show.
Start every day the right way.
Here, on the edge.
It's the edge breakfast.
Clint me and Dan.
942.
Hello?
There we are.
Good morning.
Well, all right, let's swap back seats, Meg.
I'll sit where I normally sit.
You got to stop blaming me.
Everyone knows.
Everyone's listening.
They know, you know I'm not.
He likes to just get into the driver's seat.
never had to play around.
And I was like, maybe we're the first few breaks
while everyone's asleep.
But not.
The problem is Clint was out of the studio,
wasn't he, Meg?
So you had to.
Yeah, I had to just do something, Dan.
The car was rolling down the street with no driver.
Yeah, I was out there trying to put Dan's pants back on him
because I was like, you can't do that before.
Why'd you take my pants anyway?
Look, lots to explain.
Well, it's all making up lies.
Lots going on today, actually.
It's a really fun show coming out for everybody.
Yeah.
The other ones were shit this week, but this one's going to be a goody.
Yeah, yeah.
If you missed Monday Tuesday, phew.
Yeah, Monday Tuesday have been dressed,
rehearsals for today. Well, today's a biggie.
Oh, wow. Yeah, we'd be going through
a new hit the spot song behind the scenes. We're going to get your opinion on at 8 o'clock
as to which one you think it should be. Books by Boomers is back.
It is. And this one, I've been going through my book, and this one is to do,
which I thought was very topical, with money and what should be spent in the household.
Speaking of, Brad Olson, is he an economist? Is it what we'd call him?
Yep. Yep. He's going to let us know about the government.
government package to help out.
With the rising fuel prices, 143 families getting an extra 50 bucks a week just to kind of cover
the increase.
143, Clinton.
It wouldn't be very good if it was just 143.
What a crappy package that is.
You know what?
I might talk to the government and see if they can times that one by 1,000.
Good idea.
143,000 is not many, is it?
Let's be honest.
That's what I thought.
A country of 5 million.
You'd be lucky to be getting it.
Yeah.
Yeah, Bradle will give us, I guess, what is what makes you all.
What's the cutoff?
And whether or not you...
It's definitely not Clint, let me tell you that.
No.
The Randalls will be all good.
Don't you worry about them.
It's all coming up, Randall.
Stop the street scene.
Yeah.
It's rich.
You're rich.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Oh my gosh.
Time for your 6am throwback, us versus the playlist.
I think she could be in trouble.
Beyonce and Lady Gaga.
On any other day, that would probably be a sitter.
True.
It's a big day today.
Music, lots going on around the world.
Big day.
Just last night, the Hannah Montana
20th anniversary special on Netflix was released.
So, surely the climb's going to be in there.
Oh, okay.
I've got to climb too.
There's always going to be in the other mountain.
I'm always going to be a big banger.
Did you watch it?
Have you watched it yet?
I haven't.
I don't watch it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I saw my friends did.
Another sitter.
And looks, I've heard good things.
You going to watch it, damn?
Yeah, I really do want to see it.
I was such a huge fan of Hannah Montana,
the movie especially.
I love the movie for some reason.
And I was like in my 20s when it came out.
Yeah, I was going to say, I must have missed it.
But if you were in your 20s, then if you're 20, I'm 23,
yeah, I probably wasn't watching Hannah Montana my early 20.
I haven't even seen it, which is terrible.
It was such a, like, flash in the pan time,
like four or five years it was around.
And then it sort of just disappeared.
But such a huge show for that short amount of time.
For 20-year-old dudes?
Not so much, I think, for 20-year-old.
on guys. No, no, no, but I did have a crush on my own. Oh, you had a type. Yeah.
Also today, I don't know if you guys know, but it's Ryan Lewis, MacClemore fame, his
birthday today, born in 1988.
He's the guy going down to him. Or is he just the guy who produced it?
He's like a producer and a DJ, so I think he DJs with Maclemore.
Yeah, I don't know if he sang any.
So who's the guy who's singing those real high notes.
Probably Maclemore, isn't it? Let me see that.
So, Maclemore does all the rap.
You and he's like, I'm tearing my suit.
Let me find out for you, Dole.
Let me see.
You can't wait Dom.
Dole.
Oh, I was like, that's weird.
Definitely not.
No, he's not a vocalist.
I don't know who the hell though.
Well, so he's singing on this song
and no one knows who he is.
Let me find that out.
You guys, carry on.
It's a great song, though, that one actually, Dan.
Yeah, this is an option.
I mean, Ryan Lewis did a lot of stuff with Maclemore,
not just that song.
A thrift shop, all those songs as well.
Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, every song that McLemore did in his early years featured Ryan Lewis.
I want to be free.
Even White Wolf.
Can't hold us?
Oh, he's doing everything.
Eric Nelly.
Isn't that crap that you're the main singer in the chorus of a song?
You're not even named on it.
Eric Nellie.
I mean, all he's really saying is downtown, though.
It's not like he's doing too much.
But he's doing it well.
He's the lead singer of the band Foxy Shazam.
And he sings those parts.
Never heard of him.
So I think our options are in my own.
Miley Cyrus song, which I think is probably the sitter.
I think we've got to do it.
Should we do the climb?
Yeah, let's do something a little more epic
rather than fun.
Okay.
People that have watched it, Danielle's text through saying she cried so much watching it.
So hopefully that means it's good.
She doesn't cry because it was terrible.
That ain't.
Thanks, Danzing.
I know, this is not the claim.
Okay, sorry.
Okay, honestly, you need to let me just do it from now on.
Why?
Clint, honestly, you have been a shocker this morning, so I can pull yourself together.
Really seven minutes.
I've got three hours and 53 minutes left.
That's what's very.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Miley Cyrus, The Climb on the Edge,
it's just gone 10 past six, Clint Megan Dan.
The Netflix special of Hannah Montana is out now, 20 years after.
Correct.
Yeah, we'll get into a bit of a more or less
Miley Cyrus themed game coming up.
But first, it's time for a little bit of a coffee catch-up,
see what's going on in each other's lives.
Yeah, we haven't seen each other for 24 hours, really.
What's happened? A lot can happen in 24 hours.
That's a lot.
I think it's more like 17.
Really?
Just we spend too much time together.
We see each other genuinely more than our families, hey?
Yeah.
Isn't that crazy?
Because I got home and obviously I see my son George,
but Hannah, I don't really see her like for four hours in the evening.
And you don't talk to her as much as you talk to us?
No, I don't.
We just sit in silence eat dinner.
All you hear is chewing and then we go to bed.
Wow, that's a real insight to the webbing house.
What a depressing life for Hannah.
The amount of mentions Meg gets in my house.
lately is through the roof
it's through the roof. What's Meg
doing? Do you think Meg, could you text Meg?
Is Meg available? I've got a
voice message I haven't checked yet. Is this from your daughter?
Oh, is that? You probably... It's risky?
No, it'll be fine. I don't know if I'd play
an unheard voice message. This is an unheard voice message
from Clint. Good to know, she's not
checking. Oh my God, it was 7.30. I was trying
to get my child to bed and I'm still... I'm trying to get my child to bed as well.
Okay. So, um, I got this message
at 6 first, 616.
Hey Meg!
What you're up to?
Nightmare.
So cute.
Oh, is that it?
Yeah, and I said, hey, BSD, thanks for the cookies.
How's the House?
Because me and her are working on her Animal Crossing House.
And Meg gave her $98,000 so she could, like,
Meg bought Cam a house so she'd have to go work for it.
I'm like, Cam's weird, like, non-sexual sugar mama in this game.
How much is $98,000 and New Zealand dollars, though?
I don't know.
Well, you can buy it, yeah, it's definitely different
because you have to buy your house for, like, lots of money.
Right.
But I've got lots of money in the bank.
I've got $8 million in the bank.
So Meg gave my daughter 200,000.
In the game.
He came to be in half of it on a house.
And when I saw the house, I was a bit disappointed.
It's quite small.
It doesn't even come furnished.
This is what she said.
Oh my keep is not doing that.
I sound so weird.
In the way, I'm sorry, it's quite spacious.
To your island or whatever.
Can I?
Time to do that last time.
Lisa.
So I want to see what's inside, you know.
In the voice message?
I will after I listen to it.
Bless her.
so sweet. Yeah, she's into this game.
I used to be, I played the game a lot for years
and it's really cool for the first time of my life
to feel cool with the kids.
But yeah, like you're playing like, I'm rich.
You're trying to be cool with a 10-year-old though.
Yeah. I'll be more impressed.
That's the hardest.
Is it? Especially my daughter, it takes a lot to impress her.
I don't know. It's just, you know, the most scary thing
you can do is when you're in your car and you stop at a red light and a bus full of school kids
pulls up next to you.
And they all laugh at you. Why? Why are you laughing at me?
Do laugh. What's on my face? I'm checking my teeth.
What it's wrong with me?
I don't look at them. I'm like, there's nothing that's getting my head turning when I'm in the
car and there's a bus next to me. I'm like shaking.
Even if they're not looking at me and I'm not looking at them. I'm imagining them all
pointing and laughing at me.
That would be actually a really funny promo-produced car if you can make it happen.
We get a bus full of school kids and then we have a sign saying, look at us and
$1,000 and it's just me,
Meg and Dan, and people will just refuse
to look at a bus full of school kids,
but if they are brave enough to turn, they win a grand.
So I need to get a bus full of school kids.
Yeah, yeah, and probably like
$1,000 or maybe three or four lots of $1,000.
I love you, man.
That's one of the shittest marketing ideas I've ever heard in my life.
Genuinely, like, it's never going to happen.
I'd get millions of views.
People would be like, oh, I wouldn't have to do it.
I might look at it for a couple of seconds and swipe to see school companies.
get our names on some hoodies the other day and they said no.
You want a bus full of real kids to drive around New Zealand just so they can...
No.
Might need permission slips for that, eh?
Yeah.
Get some of those.
Get some of those.
So anyway, every day my daughter's like, is she ready...
And I just say I've texted you about Meg's busy.
Because if I text you every time she asked me, Meg, you'd be like, oh, I said, just easy
with me because otherwise she's going to get annoyed by you and then you'll never get to play.
We need to sort of an actual time because, yeah, I do...
surprisingly have a life.
Okay, I'm going to try and win over your daughter now.
Shut up! No!
She's mine.
Absolutely.
Dan, honestly, let me have this one thing.
They'll piss me on.
Meg's been building her Animal Crossing game since COVID,
so you're going to have to put some out with it.
I'm going to start playing Animal Crossing bitch.
You'll come to me for money as well.
He's coming to my house today.
Click, Meg and Dan.
Lesh goal!
First call of the day!
First call on the day!
Oh, I love this.
We get to speak to a different person every day,
someone that listens to 6 a.m.
Can we call them?
This is nice. The whole like board of phones that were lit up this morning.
So we've had our pick of the bunch, which is Simon.
Morning, Cy.
Good morning.
Truck driver for fruze transport.
You driving the rig this morning?
No, I've actually just got to work.
I'm actually just about to walk over to my truck now.
Okay.
How many hours do you generally spend in the truck?
Like you're doing long?
No, so I'm just local at the moment.
So anywhere between.
say 10 and 13 hours a day.
Oh, nice.
That's a standard day.
Wow.
Yes.
And your partner has just had a baby 11 month old,
so that's tough on everybody, I think, right?
Yeah.
Because you're working so hard to earn money,
but then, you know, they'd miss you at home.
Damn, those are long hours, man.
Is that that's just standard in the trucking industry,
or is that just because you choose to grind away
and, you know, make as much money as you can at the moment?
It's depending on the company and whatever you're doing
So some truck drivers will do eight hours
Some will do 13
So it's all depending on your job as well
What's the truck driving game like in terms of money
Is it good money?
I wouldn't say good
Where I am it's good
But some drivers get more
And some get less depending on your experience
And your class of licence as well
So if you're doing say 12, 13 hour days
Are you doing like four day weeks with a three-day weekend?
I'm doing five to six-day weeks.
Oh, my.
And you're racing stock cars on the weekend.
Are you ever home, Simon?
Yeah.
It seems like you're avoiding your family.
What is the name of your two children?
Yeah.
I am home.
I get home about, I'll start early in the morning and get home about four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
Oh, that's nice to be able to help with bedtime and stuff.
Bless you.
Yeah, good.
on you. You know what? And I used
to know a guy that was a long-haul truck driver and he used
to be away for days on end and they
got paid really good money. Like it was
really good money. But, um...
Right. Yeah. So have you being loaded
yet, Simon?
So, no, I've got a... I've got a pick-up
to do soon. I've got
about 30 ton of barley to go pick up
for a dairy farm and drop off here.
Damn, my goodness. It's huge. How many loads
you're going to do today?
So I've got three on me at the moment, but that can
also change as well. That can change the people on how you
throughout the day.
Yeah, yeah.
Good on you.
Good on you, Simon.
Hey, so we'll send your voucher to go spend in store at Z,
so when you're cruising pass one, you can just pull in and go treat yourself.
Awesome, sounds good.
Thanks, Simon.
What a lovely man.
He sounds like, you know, what a hardworking dad?
It does.
And you know what he needed?
Clint to make a joke about him being three loads of memories.
Need I remind you, you're 40 years old, pal.
You're too old.
You're too.
Feel 25, though.
Yeah, right?
Clearly.
I think you feel 12.
How you get amongst the gourmet, cumma, and cashew pie.
It's the new vegan pie at Z.
If you haven't got amongst it yet.
Disney Plus released their 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana last night.
Let me know if you watched it.
I've got a more released themed Miley Cyrus game coming to mix.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
We go more or less different topic every morning.
We just have to guess if the first option is more or less than the second.
All right, Mali Cyrus, Hannah Montana edition.
Song streams for our first one.
Which song has more Spotify streams, boys?
to Wreckingball or Party in the USA?
Oh, God, that is hard.
Wrecking ball when it came out was huge.
But then party in the USA has been like a sort of one of those throwback hits.
It's been huge for a long time.
I think, wasn't she nude on the wrecking ball?
No.
Renus singlet.
Yeah.
I think you'd be hard, Preston, go past Rickingball with more hits as well
because it was like peak internet then.
I actually, personally, I mean, we can go with your choice,
but I think the party in the USA is hard to beat.
Why, who are we locking in? Dan or Clem?
Bricking ball.
Lock and party in the USA.
Okay, party in the USA.
It's got more streams.
Thank you, Dan.
I'm done, my dumb.
Okay.
Which show premiered earlier, Hannah Montana or Wizards of Waverly Place.
Ooh, now Wizards of Waverly Place.
I think it would be Hannah Montana.
I seem to remember that was earlier.
Wizards of Waverly Place was slightly...
Ding, ding, ding.
Yeah, later.
I want to let you talk yourself out of it.
It's because it's the 20th anniversary.
Woods' Waverly Place will be next year.
Which show had more episodes?
Hannah Montana or That So Raven.
Oh, again, these are tricky.
I don't know.
When I was in my 20s, I wasn't watching it like you dance.
You go for it.
I never watched That So Raven.
I only watched.
I think That So Raven maybe had more.
Dang.
I'm going to not let you talk yourself out of it.
What is that So Raven?
That was with...
Was it a spin-off?
No, what was her face?
She had a psychic ability.
Her name was Raven in real life.
And it came after Hannah Montana.
No, I think it was before.
Oh, right.
Okay.
And after.
Went on for a long time.
Okay, which movie made more money worldwide?
Hannah Montana, the movie or the last song?
The one with Liam Hemsworth.
Oh, now this could be a trick question.
I've seen that one.
I think you'd surely go with Hannah Montana,
although Liam Hemsworth was in the other one.
That's the one that got together, wasn't it?
Yes, it was.
And then they ended up getting married and then now divorced.
Surely you can't go past the Hannah Montana movie.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, Dan.
I'm again not going to leave self-talk out of it.
Well done, this is your...
This is going to be a perfect score?
It might be.
Okay.
Final one?
Yes.
Which music video has more YouTube views?
Flowers or Wrecking Ball?
You're going to get this wrong, whatever you do,
because it's just the way that things normally work.
I know, Clint.
It almost doesn't matter what you do.
Flowers, because it was sort of like her big comeback head after a while,
it was about her relationship with what his name,
Liam Hensworth.
Doesn't matter what you say
You'll be wrong
The way the universe works
It's not going to let you get five
I think I'm going to go
Wreckingball on this one
Ding ding ding
It's only one way one billion
Wow
Well done did
Especially topic
I knew so much about Miley
Wow who knew
Not even me
Well well done
You're a biggest fan
Well done
Is that to you
To myself
Yeah
I'm
I actually almost made it
I guess wrong right from the start
And I was like
You know what
Let's just keep giving the board of Dan here, I feel.
The only thing you brought is negativity.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Stinky Boo.
Time to get naughty at 640.
Different kind of naughty this morning.
Okay.
And it's not a story that I can claim as my own, but it's a friend of mine.
Let's call him Andy.
That's because it is his name.
He's got two kids.
He's got one that I think is a 13 and another that's 10, around 9 or 10.
And the 13,
year old, he's been doing their homework for them.
And when do you guys stand on helping and doing your kids homework?
Well, helping and doing is different.
Yeah, but like say for instance, I don't know, Clint,
you'll probably, your kids are more of the age where they get,
the next morning they go, oh shit, I need this.
It's due today, I forgot last night.
You're having to like fashion something in the morning.
Well, I haven't had to worry about that yet because they banned homework in my kids' school.
Like a few years back.
Really?
Yeah.
My Nana, who passed away a few years ago,
she was a teacher back in the day,
and she was a huge advocate for no homework.
She was like, kids shouldn't,
they go to school to learn,
and they should go home and play.
She was always kind of like ahead of the times with that,
because she was, obviously, this was back in the day,
when she was a teacher.
They'll get a bit of a, I don't know,
a hit with the reality stick when they get to intermediate,
I'm sure, because I don't think that's a rule there.
I just think it's so silly to do homework.
Anyway, sorry, we're getting off.
Oh, no, no, no, I agree.
I think once you get to high school years,
you probably have to do homework,
but she's sort of just just pre-high school.
Anyway, he ended up doing an assignment for her
where I think it was like a short sort of essay
where he had to write about a different,
they had to choose an animal
and they had to write like a sort of thesis about it,
like a 250-word thesis.
Anyway, he handed it in,
she'd done no work towards it.
He gets called in to the school
and the teacher said that she,
his daughter is behind in class
because of this essay she did.
And he then had the dilemma.
of going.
Oh, wait.
I literally did that.
So she should be off the hook,
but in taking her off the hook,
he's putting himself on it
and kind of her back on.
I guess he could say,
look, I really read over that
and we like, you know,
worked on it together,
I don't understand.
Now that both idiots.
Like the teacher's gone,
this is literally one of the thickest essays
I've ever said.
He's written it.
To be fair,
how many of us as parents
would really excel
doing 13-year-old homework?
I don't know.
A lot of that stuff you just go,
I don't need it anymore, so your brain deletes it.
Well, my son's too.
I'm dreading the day that he's having to do, like, times tables.
I am like, Mr. Magoo when it comes to maths.
Yeah.
Nothing.
I was in the, like, the dumbest math class.
Like, I was literally, I used to sit next to a kid in mass class that used to do this.
Every, like, a couple of minutes.
That's the sort of caliber of people I was in.
And they still do better than you?
It's still passed.
Yeah, yeah.
I failed and he passed.
Yeah.
Like, even in exams, we'd be sitting there.
It'd be silence.
and all you'd hear from the back of the room,
every now and then.
So that's the calibre of people I was with.
And he was smarter than me.
What's he doing now?
I think he's flying planes.
Like he's a pilot.
He like...
But the thing is, God,
I think I will be dumber than my kid when he's doing homework.
So there's no point even me trying to do it.
Sorry, I just...
I've realised that it would have been good to seem shocked at that.
So you guys have never done homework for your kids?
Meg, your kids are too old, too young.
Yeah.
You might not do it, so I haven't had to worry.
Well, I've had it.
You know, like, you know, you help out with craft projects.
I think that's fine.
Wait, what about the, when you ended a whole bunch of competitions of AMP show,
and your daughter made that, like, fruit person?
No, I wanted to make sure, because a vegetable person.
Sorry.
But that sounds bad in itself, though.
No, she designed it.
I just, I said what goes where.
So I feel like that's fair.
Oh, well, so you constructed it.
What was the body consisting of?
Was it like a carrot?
It was an aubegene.
Albegene?
Yeah, so she chose...
Oh, that's immature.
And so orbijine and then what were the arms and stuff?
She shows an aubegine for a body, a tomato for a head.
Right, good.
And then, and then, coggiette's arms, cucumbers were legs.
Sick arms.
So they must have been doing some wadless.
Well, she was trying to do it off dad.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Oh, she cut the corgisette's in half then.
Into quarters, probably.
It's a quarter.
All right, hey, we've got to put our sensible pants on.
Are you guys ready?
Oh.
I don't think I own sensible pants.
Okay, well, put on your three quarters then, Dan.
Because Brad Olsen, economist, is going to be joining us next
and he's talking about the government subsidy package for our...
Bigger, G-bag is not appropriate.
You're...
Sorry.
Chris, fuel prices.
I don't think he's in studio, babe.
I have to find some pants.
Yeah.
Put some pants on place, what you're being?
We've got guests.
Clint, Megan Dan.
We have Brad Olsen, Chief Executive,
at infometrics.
Dot.
And Zed to tell us about the government subsidy
package for the increasing fuel prices.
Good morning, Brad.
Thanks for joining us, mate.
Good morning, Tim.
Good morning, Brad.
So you're all across this.
There's been a bit of a package announced for New Zealanders,
$50 per week into their account.
Yes, that's right.
For a very limited number of New Zealanders,
the government's being clear that they're not able to support everyone
and that a lot of people, especially on higher incomes,
can sort of do it themselves.
But 143,000 New Zealanders from the seventh or the seventh or
the 14th of April should start to get an extra $50 a week coming back into their bank accounts.
They do have to be already part of working for families.
So this is for New Zealand families that do have kids.
And so if you're already part of the scheme, you effectively don't have to do anything.
It will just start to come through from the 7th of April.
If you aren't part of working for families and you want to check if you're eligible,
now would be the time to go and contact the IRD and try and figure that out.
But there is support coming, but it's been pretty clear.
that it's going to be very tightly targeted.
It's only looking at about 7% of households.
Do you think that's fair?
Like in terms of the number they've come up with,
you know it better than us.
$143,000 and that $50 total,
does that seem about right for you?
Given how quickly the government's trying to get this going,
because of course fuel prices are high now,
if they'd waited longer to try and, you know,
target it even more and try and get it out to the right people
and identify who those people were,
we might well still be here in a couple of months' time.
So given that they're using a program that they can literally just stand up, you know, almost overnight or at least within the next week or so, I think does get to the right people.
They looked at other options.
There's one that could have got to 700,000 people, but they found that that was sort of actually a bit untargeted and probably wouldn't get there.
$50 a week for those households who need to, you know, drive kids to school to get to work.
It's not bad given how big those fuel pressures are at the moment.
Yeah, speaking of the fuel pressures, why is it in New Zealand?
You might not be able to answer this.
but why is it in New Zealand we have such a bad deal with fuel?
Like you look at countries like Australia that look at us,
they're going, God, it's expensive over there.
That further, much further from them.
Why is it so expensive?
A part of it is because we fund all of our road spending
through fuel taxes directly.
So we put the tax on the fuel and then that goes through
and that's what funds all of the maintenance and the new roads.
In Australia, they don't collect it directly via fuel.
They just collect it generally in taxes.
So their taxes are effectively higher than ours would otherwise be,
but they don't pay it directly on fuel,
they just pay it out of their general tax take.
So it's just a slightly different method.
It does mean that yes, ours look higher.
I mean, the challenge at the moment that we've found
is that petrol prices are high,
but goodness diesel's gone up even more.
So it's not only driving around with your diesel,
but it's all of the productive parts of the economy
that's of worry at the moment.
My dad's been going on and on about that.
Brad, are we likely to see when it all chills out
and we end up getting fuel at the same price that we were
you know, three or four months ago,
do you think that companies will
use this hike as an opportunity
to increase their prices?
Like, yes, they'll go down, but they won't go down
to what they were before all of this.
We're going to be getting used to the $3.
Yeah, and I, you know...
I suspect you'll probably bang on there.
Like, yes, there will be a pullback eventually,
hopefully when this thing calms down.
Who knows when that will be.
But I think a lot of businesses will also have
a sort of stronger risk tone.
Everyone will go, what happens if this comes through again?
I want to have a bit more of a buffer.
You know, the economy keeps getting hit.
I just want to sort of have a little bit more of a safety net there.
So it might be that they go down, but they don't go down the full amount
because people keep a bit more in reserve.
Will there be a trickle-on effect, Brad, into prices, like grocery prices and stuff?
Because obviously fuel, getting food around the country, stuff like that.
This is going to be one of the tricky ones.
You're right, not only transport costs going up,
but also, you know, the cost to buy fertilizer to buy the fuel that runs the tractors
and everything else means that, yes, we are.
expecting that, you know, particularly produce, you know, fresh fruit and veg and similar,
those prices are likely to increase.
We saw that last time we had an oil price shock.
The question is sort of how quickly.
I think you'll start to see elements of it the next couple of weeks,
but it might well take a couple of months for things to fully filter through.
And, look, hearing from government officials in the last couple of days,
they are clear that even if everything resolved itself tomorrow,
given how gummed up the entire world's supply chains are,
we're probably talking high fuel prices for the next sort of three to four months.
So the pressure is very much on.
It's not going to go away quickly.
And it just shows how difficult it is when the rest of the world sort of, you know,
goes to hell in a handbasket.
We have to cop it down here at the end of the supply chain.
Thank you so much, Brad.
You've been so informative.
We'll have to keep your number.
Is he got any good news?
That's so frustrating though, isn't it?
Because, man, it just seems like where there's relentless with prices at the moment, everywhere.
I was going to actually ask about small businesses.
they're going to be feeling it because, of course, they're going to be,
if they ship things from overseas,
all the costs will be going up for them as well.
I think some business closures, small businesses closing
over the next few months.
Well, if you want to know more infometrics.com.com.
Brad Olsen's all over it and what's going on.
Can give you a bit of an update?
And we've got more fuel to give away today as well, don't we?
$200 worth of fuel later in the show.
So if you are feeling the punch,
we'll be doing that in 20 minutes.
Probably less, actually.
Before that, we do have to try and give away $10,000
with easy money.
If you want to crack at it, this is your cue to call.
Clint, Megan Dan, The Edge.
The Edge's Easy Money is your shot at $10,000.
Right, here we go, 10 grand on the line.
Just give us 10 answers.
Starting with the letter me gives you in 30 seconds.
You can pass.
If we've got time, we'll come back for no repeated answers, Jules.
Morning, Jules.
Morning.
You know what?
I've never met a bad Jules.
My mum's called Jules.
She's lovely.
And how many other Jules do you know?
She's the only one.
Yeah.
Good, good, good.
All right, Jules.
you need some reno stunt to your house.
Let's get us $10,000 to you.
That would be great.
All right.
Your letter this morning is G.
All right, G.
Guys, I like G.
And you've also got G.
And you've also got G.
Thank you for that, Clint.
Good job.
It's the only letter, I think, where you can do two different sounding ones.
All right, G, you ready?
Jules.
Actually, okay, you can also get like...
All right.
Anyway, ignore him.
Ignore him.
Don't confuse it.
Give me a fruit.
Great.
A country.
Germany.
Something you'd find in the backyard.
Gravel.
A song title?
Uh, go light at the wind.
A card game.
Sorry, what?
A card game.
Uh, go fish.
Something you'd find at the bar, or order at the bar?
Uh, part.
A dog breed.
German Shepherd.
A word ending an M.
Time.
Game.
I can't believe you got
Go fish and then you passed on a drink
Yeah
Gill and Tollick ginger beer
I don't know if there is a song called Go Like the Wind
Let me say there will be a song
As soon as you said that Jules
I was like I put a question mark
I was like it will Google it
There'll be a song
There'll be a song somewhere in the world
There's what I can find ride like the wind
Just like the Wind
And she's like the wind
By Patrick Swayzy
She's like the wind
You're very very fast though Jules
Incredibly switched on this morning
I thought
Wow done
Yeah not a bad effort
Back again, no, at 8 o'clock, still up for grabs, say, $10,000.
And we'll have your chance as well in the next 15 minutes.
Goosey South, $200 worth of fuel.
First, we are dusting off a segment we haven't done since before you went on.
Matt leave me.
Yeah, easily.
It's books by boomers.
I've got my old book out called His Needs, Her Needs, Building and a Fear-Proof Marriage.
When was this book published?
This was published.
Oh, in 1980.
something.
Some old views.
Oh no, 973.
All down.
We haven't done this one since
before Meg went on Matleaf.
Books by Boomer's.
This one's called
His Needs Her Needs Building and Affair Proof Marriage.
I got it for, I think about
your own personal benefit?
Yeah.
No, no.
Is this aimed at women or men?
This is, I think it's
from what I've read, it's mostly for women.
Four women written by a man.
Yes, always.
So he's basically saying
if you don't want your husband to cheat on you,
do these things.
Yeah, I guess you could,
you read it, you read it as a man as well.
I mean, his wife, Joyce, live in Minnesota.
And the part that I've taken out from today
is about money.
And I thought that was really relevant
to what we're going through at the moment,
just talked to Brad about, you know, times are tough.
This one in particular, he said,
Married Women Resent Having to Work,
which I found very interesting.
Here we go.
whatever women say in public about their willingness to share the burden of making a living
in private i hear something entirely different married women tell me they resent working
how many married women's he talking to oh no today many women claim they want and need a career
but i believe that the money they earn should be unrelated to basic living expenses they need
to spend their money as they see fit while their husbands earn the money for necessities
well that's what my wife's doing i know that's why i read it i was like well jamie will be going yeah
The Randalls still living in the 70s,
like, a 70s.
Clips running his house
is like a 70s.
Sometimes she does come home,
she's like, my sugar mama,
and she goes, do you want some money?
And I go, yeah, and she goes,
there you go.
She hands me some cash.
She's read the book.
He goes on to say,
to put it very simply,
a family needs to learn to live
on what the husband can earn
in a normal work week.
Not good for my family.
My wife earns more than me as well.
Yeah.
A husband really feels good
and his wife supports him financially.
And he goes on to say,
I do not believe that I've ever met a woman
who felt sincerely content with a husband
who earned little or nothing.
Well, Dan, how do you feel?
Because your wife's earning more money to you.
Does she seem satisfied in the setup?
I just said, Hannah, you know what,
let's live in the modern times, eh?
In the 70s, like the Randalls.
Hannah would have been super sad, but in 2026.
Yeah.
Like Hannah loves the fact,
and it's not much more,
but there's a little bit more
where she can call herself the breadwinner.
She's the higher earner.
She loves it.
I wonder if I start earning more than her,
she'll like ask for a pay rise so she'll beat me again.
And then he went on to talk about budgeting,
which I thought was really interested.
I thought we could all have a laugh about this together.
He spoke about how if you want to,
if women really have to work,
they should really be spending their money on things that they want,
like, you know, make up.
What else do we want?
To the make-up and lingerie, obviously.
But the men, you should be able to look.
live off what the man earns.
And even if the man doesn't earn as much,
I don't know how me and my husband are doing it.
Did you write this book, Clint?
But he does say that this is how I think you should budget.
He said, you should be able to live off $500 per month.
Now, I have changed it to be how much that would be now.
You've added inflation.
$1,550 a month.
Let me break down the budget that he has in the money that we would be spending today.
Okay.
How is it in utility?
$600 a month.
How does that fare for you, Clint, with your power bill
with the pool and the bidet and your two Tesler's?
The Tesla payments.
Is that not including your rent and mortgage?
No, just housing and utility.
So I'm guessing housing means, yeah.
Housing, like your rent and mortgage.
He's mortgage-free this William guy.
You have to be.
Groceries, for a month, $300.
Oh, my.
You never get you a week's worth nowadays.
Save after death.
Yeah, absolutely not looking good.
Clodes, $150.
back to the Randalls. He's like, yeah, I need a clothing budget.
And there's four-list budget.
Clothes is on it. I don't know why.
Most of that's Jamie's lingerie.
She's buying that with her own money.
And miscellaneous in emergencies,
$450. And he says that should be the full budget for the month,
which just shows you as well how much times have changed, right?
Take us back to the 70s.
Yeah, $300 a month on food being fine.
Damn, goodness me.
Unless Meg's done that math's wrong,
which is highly likely.
And this is another nice one.
Next chapter is he needs peace and quiet.
Okay, of course.
And that's still stands today.
Next week, I'll have books by boomers.
Clint Meg and Dan.
Let's give away some fuel.
It's time for Clint Meg and Dad's fuel.
Okay, you can call us somewhere hit the edge because you could be winning in the end.
You just have to have a car.
Dan will spin the wheel, whatever it lands on.
We're not going to tell you, but if you have that car, you win the cash.
Okay, I'm going to spin the wheel.
What did we have yesterday?
What was the car?
Was the Holden.
And we've had a vault.
Swag in this week as well, let's spin.
Here we go.
Spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning, it's landed.
Oh, okay.
This is going to be interesting.
I don't know if this is a very common car brand.
I know a few people that have one.
Let's have a look.
Shaz, what do you have?
Good morning.
I've got a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
No, not for you.
Sorry, Shaz.
Jenny, what do you have?
What's your car?
Hey, we have a Honda.
Not today, Jenny.
Sorry, Emma, what's your car that you drive?
Morning, it's Suzuki.
Oh, unfortunately not.
No, no.
Moving on to you, Bree.
What car do you drive?
A Mazda.
Dad?
Not the case.
Not the case today.
What about you, Susie?
This is with fuel here.
At Sabari?
You've done it.
Susie?
You've done it.
It's a Sabari!
The fuel, you're coming your way.
Yeah, we spun the wheel.
It landed on Subaru.
Clint, where have you been this break?
Or so you say Subaru.
Subaru.
I was actually finding some audio of Ron Weasley filling up at a petrol station.
Of course he was.
He hasn't said a thing this whole break.
Now, have you heard of the famous Harry Potter spell?
Expectos Petronum!
That makes way more sense now why this is funny.
Expansion!
That's Ron Weasley filling up his car at a petrol station.
Is it actually him or is somebody that looks like him and thought it would be very funny?
No, it is him.
Wow.
So he's saying expensive petroleum while he's filling up.
His Hyundai?
Don't you think Ron Weasie?
He was like one of, he's like, supporting actor.
like five or six Harry Potter movies.
Surely he's driving a more fancy car than a Hyundai.
But it's a nice Hyundai.
It's not like it's an old black banger.
It's a nice car.
You're Ron Weasley.
Guys, Susie's still just sitting here quietly in the background.
I mean, Susie, what kind of car do you think Ron Weasley would drive?
Are we surprised by the Hyundai?
Yes.
I don't know, actually.
I think like a valiant or something.
A valiant?
Bloody how?
What is it, the 1960s?
Okay.
All right, Susie, hold there, we'll get our $200, a few.
your voucher out to you.
Congratulations for just having a Sabaru.
Yeah, I guess we'll play again tomorrow.
$200 of petrol could be coming your way.
And just so you know, Valiant is not on the wheel.
No.
No.
Just in case, do we want to add it?
I thought that was a pill you take to calm down.
I thought it's Valium.
Oh, right.
Next on the show, we're going to give Meg the opportunity to shine or embarrass herself.
Oh, she'll embarrass herself, Clint.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Professionals.
Should be the word that comes to mind when you think of this show.
Right.
Semi-professionals, maybe.
at times we all make mistakes.
We all do in our job.
You've made like 17 this morning, Clint.
True, Meg.
Actually, you've got him there.
He's been the most, he's been the weakest link.
Well, unfortunately you don't have any evidence to support that.
However, I do have evidence to support your continuous struggle with talking right up to the vocal,
but then stopping when the singer starts singing.
In radio, they call it hitting the post.
It's 101 of being a radio announcer, isn't it, Clint?
Yeah.
You talk right up to the singing.
and then you go, bang, the edge, and then they sing.
Hitting the post, perfect.
Unfortunately for Meg Lely, we've noticed
that she maybe wants to get the last say
and...
It's brain fog. I've got...
Okay, well, we're going to get into it next
with the three names that I've got to see.
Yeah, oh, shut up, Meg.
I thought I'd pause the song as a fella.
You're going somewhere with that.
I wasn't.
Andy, it's the equivalent of a pilot
was really good at frying the plane,
but they just don't know how to put the wheels down.
So they get right to the end.
you think if that only happened one time, we'll let us slide.
Yes, yeah, he says every time that he reckons he could get it, so we're going to actually test him.
He can't win, but let's see how...
I'll put his...
Shut up, Meg.
Okay, so that's two times.
That's not enough to bring to the show.
But then there was this.
And that's a VIP.
He experience.
A what?
Oh, shut up me.
I totally...
I could see...
Right, and maybe it was in the past.
But then you did it this morning.
No. Morning to the new listeners who did not.
know that.
Yeah.
Do it to me?
She should in the bed.
Oh, shut it.
She's like a forklift driver that doesn't know how to operate the forks.
Okay.
Okay.
So, all right, we're going to give you a chance to hit the post.
I've got redemption.
I've got redemption.
It is.
It's like a really shitty version and hit the spot.
Oh, don't compare it to that.
Oh, God, don't.
Okay, Meg.
Right.
Are you ready?
Each song has a different intro time.
I'm not going to tell you the time because you're going to feel when the
The vocals about to hit.
Of course.
And keep in mind that Meg used to be in an outset would do these.
No solo show, day show.
Five years of solo shows.
So you should be good at this.
Okay.
Here we go, Meg.
I'm going to hit a song off and you just start talking about whatever you like
and then you try and stop talking just before.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Whatever I like.
You're not even going to get.
Okay.
Yep.
Here we go.
Okay.
You can talk.
You're a radio announcer.
Yep.
Fuel prices, aren't that crazy at the moment?
I went to the petrol station the other day and here's back with Marlon
and Ryan Lewis.
I went to the mall page store.
I'm going to see a man's like.
Oh, my son.
Okay.
Oh, wait up.
A moment up.
She had to post him
with the problem
where she couldn't talk.
Okay.
I didn't know.
You really have to do Zagestation.
You have to say the edge.
Right.
Okay.
Sure, sure, sure.
Although maybe in this break
would be better for people
to think it was Z&M.
Okay, here we go.
Lapping this is up.
Delicious.
It's just another one.
This is good.
Charlie.
Isn't it?
I think they were here the other week.
If you got to go,
how great was that?
Pug Rock, baby.
Let's talk about what's coming up.
Nigs.
It's Alan Rich Reacher.
I got nothing.
Here they are.
I'm drowning.
Is this your second language?
Yes, it is actually.
We can't get you some language.
One more.
One more.
Just at least tell me what this.
Usher.
You got it bad.
Wait, let me talk about, what do I know?
Hit the jams.
Pokemon cards.
Apparently they're...
Hello, okay, stop.
Give me...
Give me something to talk about.
Okay, me you're teasing easy.
money's coming up after 8 o'clock.
Okay?
Yeah, and the struggle maybe
that we've had to find someone
who's worthy of the $10,000.
Okay, here we go.
We have to tell you what's coming up on the show.
Easy money, you want to win $10,000?
Your chance to play.
Coming up in five.
There he is.
You know his name.
He knows his name.
Love this one.
You're on the edge. It's Usher,
baby.
Now, right now.
Right now.
What is it?
We're the Alps.
Did he start?
Still forgot to say the edge.
The whole time.
She had like a minute.
Nothing about the edge.
Clint Megandandan.
Oh my gosh.
It's time for another.
Clint Megan Dan's Small Town News.
Yeah, we'd like to do a little bit of a whip around once a week around the country
and find out what the ghosts is in these small towns that don't necessarily get the headlines in the hero or in stuff.
But it doesn't mean they don't have great stories.
True.
Coming from those towns, say we're going to go through the beautiful town of Mosge.
I've got the number for a paper plus
You reckon that we hope that there'll be someone there this morning
Give it a nudge
A stock take or something
I've got the call through
Good morning, paper plus Moskil
Philippa speaking
Hi Philippa how are you?
Great thanks, how are you?
Bloody marvellous
You sound lovely and perky
This is Clint Megan Dam
We work on a radio station called The Edge
And we have a little segment called Small Town News
Yes, yeah
We're just wanting to know what the news is in Moskeel
What you've got your ear to the floor
What's going on?
The news in Moskiel
It's a beautiful sunny day.
There's people everywhere.
The Gosses, we've got a new night and day out here.
And so it's opened up and we're really happy to have it.
That's pretty cool.
That's pretty cool.
We used to as a show, Philippa, be sponsored by night and day for many years.
How new is it?
It's only been open two weeks.
Have you been in?
Philippa, what have you purchased?
I've been in more than once.
I've had a white chocolate and raspberry muffin.
One day, we've had pies in there.
They've got pies, three dollar pies.
Three dollar pies, you would have unheard of.
Pies.
Whoa.
And their milkshakes are to die for.
It's why my waistline looks like it.
You sound like you prefer your sweet stuff.
Oh, definitely.
Yeah, definitely.
Would you say that the milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, go on.
Well, hopefully they are listening, Philippine.
And if they are, we'll see what they can do for you.
because someone who's a big advocate for them and their business.
I'm sure they'd like to look after you.
Maybe they could sooy out some free lunches for the next little.
Free milkshake.
Free milkshake.
I bring the boys to them.
Well, that would be nice if they did that for me.
That would be really nice.
And do you want to know the gossip and paper plus?
Yeah, what's the gossip paper plus?
Okay, we've got Nidos and they're like squishies.
I love them needo.
Oh, Philippa, you're talking to the...
Yeah.
Preach you to the choir here.
The boys both squeeze their Nidos every day.
Yep.
We've got dumplings and we've got jumpings.
and we've got jumbo duck squishies and we've got dinsims.
We've got so many new things in here.
It's pretty cool.
God, you were a really good advocate for Paper Plus.
It's fantastic.
And what's the best read at the moment, Philippa,
if I was looking for a good page turner?
Oh, reading.
That's my forte.
Do you read any of the smutty stuff?
Yeah, you're one of those?
Oh, a little bit.
Oh, a little bit of smut.
Oh, good on you, Philippa.
Honestly, you should be the CEO of Paper Plus.
You're a shining light.
Oh, thank you.
I've been here 15 years, so thanks very much.
Oh, that's wonderful.
We're going to give you our edge must have.
It's a $50 supermarket voucher.
Thanks to Yukimi Mochi.
Yay.
Oh, thank you so much, guys.
Oh, you're welcome.
Thank you.
You're lovely.
If you're in the supermarket, you look out for them.
They're like a Japanese dessert, and it's a mochi wrapped around smooth, creamy ice cream.
Yeah, it's very nice.
Very good.
Yum.
Okay.
As long as your waistline is going to be okay.
Oh, don't you talk about your waistline.
It'll be fine.
Yeah, it'll be fine.
It'll be all good.
I'll get him, Philippa, don't you worry.
I'll wallop him.
Oh, thank you.
She's lovely.
She's lovely.
She should be the mayor of Mosgiel, Philippa.
All right.
Philippa for Mia.
Start the hashtag Dan.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Lesh go.
Right, yesterday on the show,
one of my favourite things happened in the entire month.
When Dan said he was the Zach Ephron of his high school,
and we decided to call his high school to see if they remembered who he was.
I agree.
A little bit of backstory, a little touch of it there,
because I've seen some people being like,
oh, savage from Megan Clint.
That's horrible of you.
It was horrible.
We only did this because this man was relentless about saying he was a Zach in front of his high school.
He ruled the hallways.
There should be a statue of him.
So these are the things that made us go, let's call them and see.
And in your defence, someone texts through who must have gone to his school,
who said that Dan was a performing arts god.
Yes, correct.
And even I would say God's a bit far.
I mean, I was bloody good.
But I would say I was a god.
So I managed to get a list of people from the school of their,
famous alumni in their minds.
Yeah, they've gone on to do great things
thinking that Dan would feature somewhere on this list.
Of course.
This was Meg reading the list
to Dan and I for the very first time yesterday.
Amelia Walmsy, current silver firm.
Right.
You're an arseal if you don't believe.
No, I've heard of her.
Yeah, now you say it.
Switzerland, current Prime Minister.
He went to Dan's high school.
Yeah, he went to Dan's high school.
He's number three on the list and he runs the country.
Don't like him.
Kidamine, winner of RuPaul's Drake Race Down Under.
Really?
Really?
I did not know that.
Incredible, incredible list.
Tex Edwards, two degrees founder, which is incredible.
Founded two degrees?
Yes.
My goodness, okay.
Oh my, you went to the same school as these people.
There's no way they're going to remember you.
Stop the list.
How many are left?
One more is left.
Your shoe.
Number one, above Christopher Lange.
Number one.
Dan Williamson, Olympic gold medalist.
Dan Williamson.
You actually thought it was you
Above the Prime Minister
Look at him
Wait, I'm giving out of this bitch back
Don't you say that
Dan but he's more famous than the Olympians
And the silver bird
Honest to God thought she was going to say Webby
Who's what's his name?
Dan Williamson
I genuinely text her if you've heard of him
Are the Olympic gold medalist?
He is indeed and I believe he has been tagged
a couple of times in the video
That was posted
I think maybe won by his sister
so definitely has seen that, Dan.
Hey, Dan, you know what?
Just because I haven't heard,
he doesn't mean everyone else has it.
We know, Danny.
He won Olympic gold.
And then I don't know how I ended up getting the smoke blown back in my direction
because I never said I was the Zach Efron of Maraoskul grammar school.
No, Dan is adamant on bringing me and you down to Clint.
He's been trying to reach out to my school, they're not emailing him back.
I'm going to go there this afternoon.
Clint, your school was called?
Yeah, and I had to try and find out if Clint Randall.
Clint did it himself.
Yeah, you made me to do it.
pathetic.
Russell Crow.
Oh, Russell, now that's a big name.
Cam Lowe from Master Chef.
Okay, on TV.
Anyone else gone on to do TV?
Do you mind if I put people in hold?
Yeah, sure.
Graham Hart went there?
Oh, yeah, Graham Hart.
The billionaire's good.
He's still rack of their brains trying to think of you,
Clint by the way.
I'm sorry, I don't know anyone.
It says on this list a Clinton Randall went there.
Have you heard of him?
Clinton Randall?
Haven't heard of him.
Never a true word said.
I've got a bit of an update.
Oh, yeah. Oh, no.
I got a message yesterday from Principal Collins of Mount Roscoe Grammar School.
Hi, Clinton. Did your radio station call the school today or where we pranked?
Our receptionist has only been here three weeks, the poor thing.
Famous people I listed when they asked me later did include you, of course.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Of course, the principal emails you personally about that and apologises.
That's the most Clint thing to happen.
Because he would have been like the little, the student.
The favourite streets.
She came back.
Shame they weren't put through to me.
You need to come and visit.
Always proud of all you've achieved.
Oh, piss off.
You're joking.
I'm not joking.
What a teacher's pet.
Yeah, I was.
I was a goody two shoes in high school.
Who was the famous person at your high school?
Yeah, that's what we want to know.
Because Clint's one, Russell Crow.
Is that true?
Maybe he did a stint, but I've never heard that before.
But yeah, who's the most famous person went to high school?
So it doesn't really matter what you do in your life.
You'll always be overshadowed by Dance Case Christmas.
Veloxone Paris Cobrable.
I think Dwayne Johnson, the Rock,
he went to school in New Zealand
for like a brief period in his youth.
Did you go to school with Dwayne Johnson?
Yeah.
Yeah, Perry Edwards from Little Wicks.
Yeah, a lot of big famous names.
And also, if you were listening to the show
about 10 minutes ago, for Small Town Goss,
we got in touch with Philippa from Moskill.
They were very excited than a new night and day.
He just opened up two weeks ago.
We're going to get in touch with Philippa,
night and day her, and they're going to sort her out
with a $100 voucher.
Oh, that's nice.
You're a lunch for the week.
I should get a few milkshakes.
And the backpack, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah, how cool is that?
Let's put the milkshakes in.
Yeah, yes.
Right now we want to know who was the famous person that went to your school that is now going to overshadow you ever being mentioned, regardless of what you achieve in your life.
Lots of people texting through and calling.
I'll just mention before the Rock, Dwayne Johnson.
He went to school in New Zealand.
And it was, during his childhood, he was here for just two years.
And he went to Richmond Road School in Grayland and Auckland.
Also, if you went to Rotorua Lakes High School, you went to the school.
You went to the same high school as Stephen Adams,
the millionaire NBA player.
Imagine that it overshadow everyone that goes there from now on.
Yeah, yeah.
We want people there just went to the high school,
went to the high school in the same year as you.
Or is that too hard to find?
Yeah, I suppose it's just a...
Yeah, if everyone talks about them and you go,
it doesn't matter what I do.
Brooke, who went to your high school?
Oh, the good old Stan Walker.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, nice.
And Mount Monganui, was it?
Yeah, Munganui, yeah.
Were you there, Brooke, when he was in school as well, or had he been gone?
I think, because I was a turd, so I was a third form, so I had no chance.
But I think he was at the end of his school year.
And I used to be known as beatbox brookie.
Brilliant.
Really? Can you still beatbox?
No, I don't want to.
You know, come on.
What are we meant to do with that?
What are we meant to do with that?
It's just me, Meg and Dan.
Yeah, come on.
Give us something.
Just let Stan Walker override it.
I'm in my 30s now, man.
I'm old.
But, yeah, so I never had a chance.
So I used to beatbox and, yeah, that was it.
And he was just the cool guy.
Give us one little beak.
Can't give us a little boots and cats?
No, I'm good.
So you got the other spot.
Well, that's why you never made it in the beatboxing game.
You were asking, like, I don't want to do it now.
Okay, let's go to Leanne.
Leanne, this is a big one.
Morning.
Morning, how are you guys?
Yeah, good.
How does you go to school with?
Evangeline Lily, actually.
So I was...
From Lost?
From Lost?
Yeah.
No, no, no, no.
She's from The Hobbit.
Don't you think?
Yes, as well.
Yeah, but she was in Lost as well.
And Ant Man?
Yes, of course, in a Miss Marvel.
I know who you mean now?
I don't even know she was a New Zealander, or did she just live here for a time?
No, so I'm from Canada.
Ah.
Yeah.
Yeah, so she went to school
and I'm at my school, Moet, high school.
Wow, that's cool.
That's a claim to fame.
Yeah, yeah, my sister actually just met her at,
I think it was the Armageddon or the thing you guys had not one.
Yes, yes.
Yeah, my sister said, hey, I'm from Moet.
She's like, oh my gosh.
Yeah, it must be a nice little throwback
when you're so far from, you know, home as well.
Thank you, Leanne.
We tried to get someone else on who went to school in London
and went to school with Amy Winehouse.
Oh, yeah, that would be incredible.
Another one, Black Pink as well.
Korean pop band.
Oh, that's a group.
We just had somebody, sorry.
I was just going to say one of them went to school in New Zealand, Black Pink.
I did not realise that they were from New Zealand.
I think it was Rose.
We just had somebody who dropped us the line.
They were going to say Grant Keriama,
but maybe after Evangeline Lilly, he might have not seen.
Grant from Bolly and Grant.
Yeah, seem as big.
I don't know.
Yeah.
All right, team, are we ready?
Are we ready?
Are we ready to give away $10,000 this morning?
I'm ready for the last month, Clint.
Okay, easy money.
Can we have the letter now, Meg?
It's O.
There you go.
You've got two minutes to think of as many
O words as you possibly can before Meg
gives you the chance
to give us 10 correct answers in 30 seconds.
Good luck.
Clint, Meg and Dan
The Edge.
The Edge is easy money.
Here's your shot at $10,000.
Here we go.
Two past eight. Meg's already giving you the letter.
If you can give us 10 answers
starting with that letter inside 30 seconds,
10 grand is yours. You can pass.
If we've got time, we'll come back, but no repeated answers.
Hi, Rebecca.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Rebecca's an incredibly intelligent, boys.
She's a pharmacist.
Oh, yes, a smart one.
We've got a smarty.
Okay.
No, well, I only know drugs.
So, unless every question is about drugs,
so we're going to be...
Can you just change the questions, Meg?
For me, for that's all about drugs.
Let me check if there's any drugs questions.
Yeah, Rebecca knows pharmaceutical drugs, clip.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, another one.
Unfortunately, nothing to do with drugs in here at all.
Okay.
As far as I can...
All right, well, best of luck, Rebecca.
I'm feeling lucky.
I've got my hand hovering over the celebration music for you.
You can be $10,000 richer inside 30 seconds.
Your letter is O?
Here we go.
What is something you'd find in the kitchen?
Orange.
An occupation.
Occupation therapist.
A shape.
Oblong.
A type of biscuit.
Oreo.
A TV series.
Over.
A five-letter word.
A path.
A city in America.
Orlando.
A band with more than three members.
That five-letter word.
The five-letter word.
Of all the ones.
If you got that fast, we could have got there, I reckon.
Because I only had two.
That one had two more to go.
My heart rate's so crazy.
She's got it counting pills, just not letters.
Yeah.
unfortunately.
Yeah, it's just, your mind goes blank when you have to think of, like, yeah.
Yeah.
No, that was, you know what, that was a really solid showing.
You were really fast until that question that stumped you.
So well done.
Back again, seven o'clock tomorrow morning,
$10,000 still on the line until somebody gets it done.
It's Celine Dion's birthday on Monday.
We want Dan to be discovered by Celine.
I believe she's even going on tour soon.
Maybe she goes, I want him.
I mean, that's the dream.
God, I'll be out of here as quick as you can say, Celine Dion.
Honestly.
If you're...
I mean, your celebrity crush knew you existed.
She's my celebrity crush.
Yes, yeah.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
It's going down this Friday?
On Monday next week, because it's her birthday.
Hit it. Hit it. Hit it.
Hit it spot.
Whoa.
Had the spot.
It's been a couple of weeks since we've done it.
It's a spot. Meg, you had an idea, didn't you?
I did, Dan. We've had two fails, and I've known for a little while that I'd been wanting
you to do a silly D-on-1.
Her birthday is coming up this Monday.
She has been reacting to people singing online.
all of a sudden, I think this is our best shot of you being discovered,
or at least known by Celine Dion.
I mean, we wouldn't usually do a Celine Dion.
No, exactly.
Not really the Edge's wheelhouse.
I'm being very nice to you.
But we'd make an exception, I think, if she noticed,
and maybe we got an interview or something,
you know, a shout out from Celine Dion.
I don't know what the result would be.
Yeah.
Apparently there's rumours that she is going to be doing a return to the stage as well,
doing like a show.
But I've got three options that I think we could do for the song.
Okay, yeah, I said go away and pick me three.
songs, we'll see what we think.
I'll pick probably three of her most iconic bangers.
The first one is I'm alive.
This is your favourite man.
Love that song.
I got chills. I got chills. I quite like that.
So there's a little bit of a gap there.
They can be tricky.
Yeah, oh, I got chills. Okay, I like that one.
The other option is this song, which is
the easiest vocally, the power of love
leading up to the bit here.
Two, actually. I like that he holds the note.
Because you've got to think, when Dan's doing it,
There's no musical backing.
I know.
It could be a little messy with how little a gap there is to come in on that
because I'm your lady, but let's carry on.
But personally, my favourite, in terms of iconic a moment that if I can nail it,
we'll go down in history perhaps as the best hit the spot ever,
and we'll get Celine Dion to notice it as this song.
It's all coming back to me now.
That's my favourite.
In that scenario, he's got three favorites.
No, that's my favorite.
Would you do baby, baby, baby?
on your own and then we come in and hit the spot on the third baby?
I think he comes on on the first baby.
Yeah, first baby.
First baby.
Because what would happen, though, if Dan's hit the spot,
he doesn't sing the last two.
Don't you want him to sing all three of them?
All three babies?
Yeah, no, I want him to keep singing.
Oh, okay.
I feel like he might get too excited.
Yeah, true.
Now, the thing is, as well, obviously we'd play more of the song
for the, I was just playing you the hit the spot moment.
Yeah, yeah.
There'd be a lot more lead in.
Yeah.
So, what, we need help?
0800 of the edge.
Text 33, 34, 4, 3, 3.4, 3.
which one do we do?
Really, the list.
Okay, option one, I'm alive.
Okay, power of love.
What are we going with?
It's all coming back.
You imagine I'm doing now.
I mean, they're all very, very high.
I don't know how I'm going to be able to nail it vocally.
I'm going to try my best.
Oh, 800 of the edge.
Which one do we do?
Hit it.
Hit it, buggy.
Heard it.
Heard it.
He hit the spot.
Whoa.
Daniel Webby, the king of hit the spot, going viral,
possibly billions of times now.
I actually haven't done the ad up, all the maths,
but let's say billions of times.
Let's not get you to do the math.
Yeah, Phil.
Celine Dion's biggest fan of all time,
her birthday's on Monday.
This is our chance to get Dan seen by Celine.
He chose three songs for us to pick from,
to hit the spot with.
It's all coming back to me now,
The Power of Love, and I'm alive.
Yeah, and I think there is clearly a winner,
but let's go to our phones to see what people are voting,
because this is your segment, as much as it is mine.
Morning, Lisa.
Good morning, Jane.
How are we?
Bloody good, Lease.
Now watch your vote.
It's all coming back.
Okay.
Clint, have you got the clip of that just to remind people?
Yeah, I'm just trying to tightening it up so we don't have so much leader.
That's the moment.
Yeah.
That's the moment.
You know what?
I think that's, most people are voting for that, but let's go to Bea, Bia.
Is it Bia?
Yeah.
Morning, Bia.
What a lovely name.
I know you guys.
Thank you.
Yeah.
How are you guys?
We're good, thank you.
You're voting for a song that's not the, it's all coming back to me.
What do you want?
I said Power Love.
It's very underwriting.
and at a unnerary Filipino who loves to leave her song,
I think that you can choose that song.
I think that's your favourite song of hers, isn't it, Dan?
It is.
This would be my favourite song of Celendia.
And you know what, it is a cover.
She wasn't the original artist that did it.
Really?
Vocally, there's...
Are there more show-off moments than that?
I think it's a slightly higher vocal.
Like the hit-the-spot moment is very up there.
But imagine this part, Dan, just holding it.
Holding it.
Acapella.
You like that one, is that your vote?
I like, I can see why people like it.
I don't know if it's my fav.
I'm sort of, I don't know, for a change, I'm on the fence.
What?
Well, I'd say the most people are saying it's all coming back to me on the text machine.
Let's go to one more caller.
Let's go to Nicky.
Oh, 800 of the edge.
You kind of have the deciding vote, Nikki.
What are we having for hit the spot this week?
Selim Dion.
Okay.
It absolutely, absolutely has to be.
It's all coming back to me now.
You've got it.
Your best favorite favorite.
Yay!
That's going to be the one on Monday, 8 a.m.
Dan is going to hit the spot with one of the biggest Celine Dion.
Have you tried Celine Boat before?
I have tried it once.
Let's not think about it.
No, we don't talk about the time I tried a Celine Dion song and failed.
That was bad.
That was bad.
Because I do have it yet.
Oh, it's a bit of redemption too.
You're on your own.
You were my voice when I couldn't speak.
You won my eyes when I couldn't speak.
You saw the best there wasn't me
Lifting me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith because you
I'm everything I am
Because you love me
It's redemption, it's going to be the one
We haven't, we've got it Monday morning, Dad
I'm going to go away, I'm going to practice more than I've ever practiced before
I'm going to blow you away New Zealand
you're with me, it's your song, you chose it.
Monday, hit the spot Celine Dion.
Oh, I have to look pretty that day
because we're going to go viral.
You look pretty every day.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Shocked by the amount of body cam footage
that is being released like 18 months after his arrest
of a drunk driving.
Even him in the cell, like they're still filming him.
He's like, I've got to sleep here overnight.
I know. People are laughing though
because at one point he's signing the paperwork
and he goes, white?
When it comes to like the part that they put
his ethnicity, and then he goes, I'm kidding, man.
Some of a joke there for you, mate.
A bit of a joke.
All right, the three of us are going to throw out three stories
and three specific types of people off the back of those stories
that we are looking for.
The winner is someone who gets a call it for their story first.
I'm looking for someone that's won first or second division Lotto
in New Zealand because changes are coming to Lotto
that means that it will be less likely for you to win the big prize.
Great.
I know.
Because it was so easy before.
Yeah, so it used to be at 1 in 38 million chance of winning the first division lotto.
Now it's about 1 in 53.7 million.
So it's got far less of a chance.
The good thing is, though, there'll be more small winners within lotto.
So more people winning the 600,000, 20,000 even, you know, like I've added an eighth division.
So that is a positive coming from it.
Okay, well, who are you looking for?
So people that have won first or second division lotto.
Oh, 800 the edge.
I'd love to hear from you.
We can offer the voices, guys, because you probably wanted, I'd imagine.
Yeah.
All right, well, a bit of a spoiler alert.
If you haven't finished the latest season of Bridgeton,
turn your radios down now.
But in Bridgeton this season, there's a character that passes away.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I'm trying not to spoil it for anybody.
No one's watching Bridgeton anymore, are they?
I think they are, but I think it's been out long enough
that maybe I could get away with talking about it.
The storyline is.
where Fran loses her husband, John,
and it's just been announced this morning
that Fran gets her storyline
in the fifth season with
lesbian lover.
Oh, that's very racy for Bridgeton.
So husband dies, she becomes lesbian.
Who are you looking for?
Correct, Clint. But
that lesbian lover of hers is actually
her ex-husband, or her died husband's
cousin.
So I wondered if there was anybody out there
that's kept it in the family, whether your partner
passed away, and then you married
the brother or the sister-in-law or the best friend, you know, somebody close to the person that passed.
I know that's, I think I'm not going to find anyone, but can anybody live through Bridgeton with me?
Okay.
Okay.
Keeping it in the family.
I like it.
Good luck finding well, yeah.
All right, and Elon Musk is getting richer and richer by the second.
So rich, in fact, that this was the analogy given on an American talk show that will blow your mind.
So you know how you might get excited if you find 20 bucks in the pocket of an old coat or crinkled up in the laundry?
well, for Elon Musk to feel the very same way,
with a portion of his wealth equivalent to the 20 bucks
for the typical American,
he'd have to find $87 million.
Moving on.
In his pockets to go, oh, that's kind of cool.
God!
That's ridiculous.
I'd love to know the last time you found cash,
where was it and how much?
Well, it's $87 million.
You know, you just go, damn,
you just either found money you didn't know you had
or you found money that belonged to someone else and kept it.
No one should be that.
We're rich.
Just in the world, no one.
Okay, Dan, what's your one quickly?
One more time?
People that have won first and second division lot.
Okay, I'm looking for somebody that's kept it in the family.
You've married twice or you're with somebody that was already related to the person he was previously married to?
And I want you find his keep his stories.
Oh, 800 at the edge, let's see.
Okay, we've thrown out three very specific types of people.
Dan's looking for someone who's won first or second division.
Meg's looking for someone who kept it in the family after maybe your partner passed.
Or left, even like if you just divorced
but then you married the brother
or somebody married the brother.
So not like dating your own cousin, right?
It's someone that's married someone
within your partner's family.
Exactly.
I know that sounds complicated,
but this is the storyline
that's just been announced for Bridgeton.
And I'm looking for someone
a bit of a finder's keepers.
If you've found a decent sum of money
or just found money,
they reckon that you finding 20 bucks in your pocket
is the equivalent of Elon Musk
finding $87,000 in his.
87 million.
Sorry, 87 million.
Yeah, sorry, Dan, thank you.
All right, let's see what we.
We've gotten our net.
Jackie, morning.
Morning.
Morning, Jack.
What are you, who are you calling for?
The lotto?
The lotto, yeah.
So we won first or second division.
How much did you win?
So we won 14,000 because we're displicit amongst about 17 people.
Oh, what a pain in the ass.
So you find out first that you've won second division,
you don't know how much you've won,
and then you find out you've got to split it with 17 people.
What is second division, Jackie?
Is that all the numbers without the bonus?
I think it was all the numbers with the bonus.
It was quite a few years ago.
Oh, you're missing one,
because isn't that first division,
then you get Powerball,
that's when you get the 30 mill or whatever.
So you had to be missing one maybe.
Yeah, maybe it was missing the Powerball,
but they got the bonus ball.
It's interesting, because I used to be in a syndicate
when I worked at the bank.
I used to work at Westpac,
and it was me and the old girls,
all the old ladies with the tellers.
Oh, yeah?
And I remember we won now,
syndicate won, and I was the guy
that would go and purchase the tickets
and check if we'd won,
and we won, like, $37.
or something.
I kept it all to myself.
You didn't.
No, I did.
It was like seven of us, so we would have had to split it up for like $3.
That's what a syndicate is.
You can't have your shouted lunch for the team.
That's what you do.
You've got 37 bucks.
Let's all get coffees later.
Don't go into syndicate with Dan.
Oh, no, I'd be trustworthy now.
Thanks, Jackie.
And congratulations on the win.
Wow, amazing.
Jess, morning.
Good morning.
How are you?
Yeah, good, darling.
What are you calling for?
Good.
support you, Meg.
I have a half-sister that's my cousin.
Oh, God, who?
So what does that mean?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What is that?
I can't figure it out.
Wait, so.
So, um, my mom and dad split up, and my dad slept with my mom's cousin and got her
pregnant.
And so, yeah.
And so, yeah.
And so, yeah, that's how that.
Do you live in Dagavu or Dunedin?
Dunedin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
Oh, wow.
Was that, like, when that happened?
That would be crazy.
Was that happening with a scandal within the family?
Everyone was talking about it?
Yes, it was.
Yeah, for a while it was.
Your mum, was there ever, like, did your mum ever go,
I knew they flirted, or was it, like, real blindside?
Mum caught them together.
Oh, poor mum!
And which one's hotter?
Out of it?
No, I shouldn't ask that, should I?
Your mum's hotter, clearly.
Yeah, she's.
is she's the hot sister. Thanks for oversharing
Jess, gosh. Just when you think
you're a lot going on in your world, hey, you're like, nah,
there are people juggling way more balls.
That's crazy. And Mia, I'm guessing you're
calling for Clint's. You did find his keepers.
What did you find?
Yeah, so we were at a fair
and I found some guy dropped $10
on the floor and I went to pick it up
and as I picked it up, I was like,
gosh, it could put three leaders in my
car and pay for my son's ice cream.
But no, I gave it back.
I was kind.
I thought Carma would repay me at some point.
So $10 isn't a lot, but in this economy, gosh, it could pay for a lot.
That's the one we ended on.
Yeah, we should have gone to you first $10.
I mean, does...
Did Karma come back to get you?
Not yet.
No, we're still waiting.
We're still waiting here.
I'm pretty sure Karma has come around, Clint, because...
We'll double and give you a $20 Z voucher.
So you can go put a few more letters in your carmere.
Thank you guys.
Yeah.
It was worth it.
Otherwise, you'd never would have got that.
Take this as Karma.
There you go. Instant karma. I like that.
Holy shit. You made it the whole way through.
