Starting point is 00:00:00 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?
Starting point is 00:00:28 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.
Starting point is 00:00:38 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.
Starting point is 00:00:48 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.
Starting point is 00:01:01 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
Starting point is 00:01:16 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
Starting point is 00:01:47 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?
Starting point is 00:02:02 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...
Starting point is 00:02:13 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.
Starting point is 00:02:24 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.
Starting point is 00:02:44 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.
Starting point is 00:02:58 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.
Starting point is 00:03:06 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.
Starting point is 00:03:23 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.
Starting point is 00:03:40 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.
Starting point is 00:04:10 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.
Starting point is 00:04:23 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.
Starting point is 00:04:35 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.
Starting point is 00:04:47 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.
Starting point is 00:05:04 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.
Starting point is 00:05:16 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.
Starting point is 00:05:29 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.
Starting point is 00:05:43 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.
Starting point is 00:05:58 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.
Starting point is 00:06:16 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?
Starting point is 00:06:32 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
Starting point is 00:06:50 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
Starting point is 00:07:07 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?
Starting point is 00:07:22 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.
Starting point is 00:07:40 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.
Starting point is 00:07:51 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.
Starting point is 00:08:14 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.
Starting point is 00:08:31 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.
Starting point is 00:08:54 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.
Starting point is 00:09:16 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.
Starting point is 00:09:36 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.
Starting point is 00:09:54 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.
Starting point is 00:10:10 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!
Starting point is 00:10:30 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.
Starting point is 00:10:43 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.
Starting point is 00:10:55 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.
Starting point is 00:11:14 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.
Starting point is 00:11:29 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.
Starting point is 00:11:45 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
Starting point is 00:12:04 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
Starting point is 00:12:22 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?
Starting point is 00:12:40 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
Starting point is 00:12:56 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
Starting point is 00:13:12 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.
Starting point is 00:13:25 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.
Starting point is 00:13:37 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.
Starting point is 00:13:49 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.
Starting point is 00:14:07 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.
Starting point is 00:14:26 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.
Starting point is 00:14:44 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.
Starting point is 00:15:00 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.
Starting point is 00:15:16 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.
Starting point is 00:15:31 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?
Starting point is 00:15:44 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.
Starting point is 00:15:54 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.
Starting point is 00:16:06 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.
Starting point is 00:16:21 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?
Starting point is 00:16:34 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
Starting point is 00:16:53 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
Starting point is 00:17:11 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
Starting point is 00:17:20 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
Starting point is 00:17:28 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.
Starting point is 00:17:46 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.
Starting point is 00:18:09 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?
Starting point is 00:18:27 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,
Starting point is 00:18:42 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.
Starting point is 00:18:55 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,
Starting point is 00:19:11 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.
Starting point is 00:19:27 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,
Starting point is 00:19:38 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.
Starting point is 00:19:48 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.
Starting point is 00:19:59 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.
Starting point is 00:20:17 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.
Starting point is 00:20:26 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...
Starting point is 00:20:39 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.
Starting point is 00:20:56 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.
Starting point is 00:21:14 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.
Starting point is 00:21:28 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.
Starting point is 00:21:41 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?
Starting point is 00:21:56 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.
Starting point is 00:22:09 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,
Starting point is 00:22:22 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.
Starting point is 00:22:33 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.
Starting point is 00:22:51 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.
Starting point is 00:23:23 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?
Starting point is 00:23:40 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.
Starting point is 00:24:03 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.
Starting point is 00:24:31 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.
Starting point is 00:24:50 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.
Starting point is 00:25:06 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
Starting point is 00:25:25 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,
Starting point is 00:25:41 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.
Starting point is 00:25:56 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.
Starting point is 00:26:20 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,
Starting point is 00:26:44 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.
Starting point is 00:27:03 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,
Starting point is 00:27:20 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.
Starting point is 00:27:36 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.
Starting point is 00:27:53 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?
Starting point is 00:28:05 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.
Starting point is 00:28:15 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.
Starting point is 00:28:28 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.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Anyway, ignore him. Ignore him. Don't confuse it. Give me a fruit. Great. A country. Germany. Something you'd find in the backyard.
Starting point is 00:28:51 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?
Starting point is 00:29:07 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
Starting point is 00:29:21 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
Starting point is 00:29:32 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
Starting point is 00:29:45 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.
Starting point is 00:30:02 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.
Starting point is 00:30:20 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
Starting point is 00:30:37 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.
Starting point is 00:30:51 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.
Starting point is 00:31:03 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
Starting point is 00:31:20 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
Starting point is 00:31:50 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.
Starting point is 00:32:00 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.
Starting point is 00:32:13 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.
Starting point is 00:32:27 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,
Starting point is 00:32:42 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.
Starting point is 00:32:58 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.
Starting point is 00:33:15 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.
Starting point is 00:33:36 $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.
Starting point is 00:33:55 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.
Starting point is 00:34:09 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.
Starting point is 00:34:24 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,
Starting point is 00:34:43 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.
Starting point is 00:34:55 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?
Starting point is 00:35:13 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.
Starting point is 00:35:28 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?
Starting point is 00:35:40 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.
Starting point is 00:35:53 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?
Starting point is 00:36:03 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?
Starting point is 00:36:14 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.
Starting point is 00:36:30 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?
Starting point is 00:36:46 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.
Starting point is 00:37:01 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?
Starting point is 00:37:15 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.
Starting point is 00:37:29 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.
Starting point is 00:37:43 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.
Starting point is 00:37:54 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.
Starting point is 00:38:16 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
Starting point is 00:38:31 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.
Starting point is 00:38:46 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.
Starting point is 00:39:03 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.
Starting point is 00:39:14 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.
Starting point is 00:39:27 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.
Starting point is 00:39:39 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.
Starting point is 00:39:50 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.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Okay. Okay. Okay. Whatever I like. You're not even going to get. Okay. Yep. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:40:07 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.
Starting point is 00:40:20 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.
Starting point is 00:40:27 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
Starting point is 00:40:34 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.
Starting point is 00:40:40 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.
Starting point is 00:40:51 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.
Starting point is 00:41:03 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.
Starting point is 00:41:14 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.
Starting point is 00:41:27 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.
Starting point is 00:41:39 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?
Starting point is 00:42:00 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.
Starting point is 00:42:14 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

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?

One day, we've had pies in there. They've got pies, three dollar pies. Three dollar pies, you would have unheard of.

Starting point is 00:45:31 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,
Starting point is 00:45:40 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.
Starting point is 00:45:54 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.
Starting point is 00:46:14 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.
Starting point is 00:46:31 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.
Starting point is 00:46:45 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.
Starting point is 00:46:56 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.
Starting point is 00:47:09 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
Starting point is 00:47:31 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?
Starting point is 00:47:47 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.
Starting point is 00:47:59 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.
Starting point is 00:48:13 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.
Starting point is 00:48:30 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.
Starting point is 00:48:42 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.
Starting point is 00:48:55 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.
Starting point is 00:49:18 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.
Starting point is 00:49:31 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.
Starting point is 00:49:42 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.
Starting point is 00:49:57 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.
Starting point is 00:50:13 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.
Starting point is 00:50:25 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.
Starting point is 00:50:34 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,
Starting point is 00:51:00 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,
Starting point is 00:51:15 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?
Starting point is 00:51:33 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?
Starting point is 00:51:54 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.
Starting point is 00:52:06 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.
Starting point is 00:52:25 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...

Starting point is 00:52:59 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.
Starting point is 00:53:16 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.
Starting point is 00:53:33 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.
Starting point is 00:53:50 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.
Starting point is 00:54:02 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.
Starting point is 00:54:14 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 point is 00:54:25 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.
Starting point is 00:54:40 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.
Starting point is 00:54:51 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.
Starting point is 00:55:04 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.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Occupation therapist. A shape. Oblong. A type of biscuit. Oreo. A TV series. Over. A five-letter word.
Starting point is 00:55:40 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.
Starting point is 00:55:55 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.
Starting point is 00:56:08 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.
Starting point is 00:56:25 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.
Starting point is 00:56:39 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.
Starting point is 00:56:50 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.
Starting point is 00:57:09 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.
Starting point is 00:57:24 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.
Starting point is 00:57:40 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.
Starting point is 00:58:09 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,
Starting point is 00:58:49 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.
Starting point is 00:59:18 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.
Starting point is 00:59:28 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?
Starting point is 00:59:38 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.
Starting point is 01:00:01 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.
Starting point is 01:00:13 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.
Starting point is 01:00:24 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,
Starting point is 01:00:40 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.
Starting point is 01:00:55 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.
Starting point is 01:01:09 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.
Starting point is 01:01:19 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,
Starting point is 01:01:32 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...
Starting point is 01:01:47 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.
Starting point is 01:02:06 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.
Starting point is 01:02:21 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!
Starting point is 01:02:34 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.
Starting point is 01:02:49 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
Starting point is 01:03:20 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.
Starting point is 01:03:44 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.
Starting point is 01:04:00 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.
Starting point is 01:04:16 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.
Starting point is 01:04:37 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.
Starting point is 01:05:05 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,
Starting point is 01:05:19 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.
Starting point is 01:05:35 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.
Starting point is 01:05:51 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
Starting point is 01:06:06 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.
Starting point is 01:06:24 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.
Starting point is 01:06:50 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.
Starting point is 01:07:04 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?
Starting point is 01:07:18 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.
Starting point is 01:07:39 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
Starting point is 01:07:48 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.
Starting point is 01:08:02 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?
Starting point is 01:08:11 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.
Starting point is 01:08:31 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.
Starting point is 01:08:48 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.
Starting point is 01:08:58 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.
Starting point is 01:09:08 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.
Starting point is 01:09:19 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?
Starting point is 01:09:30 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.
Starting point is 01:09:43 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.
Starting point is 01:09:59 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.
Starting point is 01:10:10 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!
Starting point is 01:10:28 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,
Starting point is 01:10:39 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,
Starting point is 01:10:55 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.
Starting point is 01:11:13 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.
Starting point is 01:11:28 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. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast.
