Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. Welcome to the podcast equivalent of a you-up text. Messy, slightly regrettable, but you'll still come back for more. This is the Clint Begg and Dan podcast. This show contains fake tan, real regrets, and one Australian hostage situation. It's the it's breakfast. Clint Biggin' Dan with Ash London. Morning!
Starting point is 00:00:22 Welcome to the show. Appreciate you joining us this morning. It is one minute to six. We started early. Yeah, there you go, Dan. On a Tuesday I choose, choose you. Have you guys had your coffee this morning?
Starting point is 00:00:35 No. Oh, okay. I still got Steph stings on. My favourite sound effect in the whole world's coming, guys. God, you really need to hear more sound effects. That's your favourite one in the whole world. What's your favourite sound effect? Ooh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Like something squishy. I love the sound of like water oozing out of a sponge. Have you heard that? Wait, when you squeeze it. Oh, there's no better sound. That's a strange one. That's like a weird ASMR sexual thing, I reckon. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Like a big, thick sponge, squeezing it after, like, you've done the dishes. If you want an insight into Dan Sex Life, go download the OnlyFans podcast from yesterday. He got some sexy treats. Sure did. So did Ash, actually. We both got the identical stuff. And then Clint was annoyed. Well, you were annoyed when you realised that that also packed some for Clint.
Starting point is 00:01:22 It was the one, you thought, this is the one time I'm going to get something when Clint's not going to get it. Clint was that kind of guy that... Is that why he got two dittle rings? Yeah, one for you I thought he just got two and gave me one No, they were for you But I wanted to position it as all for Dan You can never have too many of those
Starting point is 00:01:37 Do you call them doodle rings? Well, I don't want to... Oh, you're right, you can't say it's quite abrasive on here to use that You're absolutely right Yeah So a diddle ring sounds cuter Diddle ring Coming up this morning
Starting point is 00:01:48 I'm looking forward to it after 8 o'clock this morning We're going to be chatting to a lady who Knows her partner is cheating But he doesn't know, she knows She knows and he doesn't know that she knows He knows, she knows, she knows. How long could you keep a secret for, Ash? Ten seconds.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Yeah, I think I'd be the same. There's no way I'd be able to be in the same room as him. Unless I was plotting the ultimate revenge. Well, that's what I wonder. Yeah. Do you think she's plotting revenge? Like, break up revenge. Clint, me and Dan.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Oh, oh my gosh. About to jump into a 6 a.m. throwback. It's controversial because I don't remember the last time we played him, but he is topical. Yes. Oh, the Latin icon award at the MTV VMAs yesterday. went to Enrique Martin Morales. Oh, God, you know his full name and everything. The love that I have for Ricky is deep.
Starting point is 00:02:35 It's sexual. Why? Take us back to the first time you listened to Enrique. No, what's his name? Martin Morales, yeah, correct. I want to say I was probably about 11, 10 or 11. Yeah. And I just, no, it's my first love.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Was he a sexual awakening of sorts for you? It was the sexual awakening in every way. And I remember I would listen to his albums over and over and over again. And I just thought I was going to marry him. And then I got invited to a press conference when I was a kid. I had a friend who knew someone. So I got to be in the same room as him and I just wept. And then I've been offered interviews over the years, but I can't meet him because I love him too much.
Starting point is 00:03:15 And then once I did a phone call with him, like a phone interview, and I was like, be cool, be cool, be cool. And then as soon as I heard his voice on the phone, I burst into tears. I just burst into tears. So if I said, well, well, you're lucky because. he's here right now, Ricky Martin, and he walked in, you'd burst into tears? I'd be so angry, because I haven't done my makeup yet, and I'd be so angry at you, and I haven't got a cool outfit on.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Yeah, but you're naturally beautiful, so... But then I would sob. You'd turn him straight, I reckon, if he walked in right now. I was just saying he's single now, and you said, well, he's gay, I said, well, maybe he's bisexual. Yeah. He's 52, is that right? He looks incredible. I'm just looking at, like, photos of him before. He is an incredibly good-looking man
Starting point is 00:03:51 for 52. I think he looks better than he did when he was in his 20s. Because he's got that, like, hot, older. man vibe about him. I reckon the older he gets when he's 70 he'll probably be peak hot because he just keeps getting more attractive.
Starting point is 00:04:04 And his biceps like far out. Did you just purped? I burped up I burped up a nut I got stuck there. That's the least attractive thing I've ever witnessed in my life. Oh my God a fricking Martin had come in now.
Starting point is 00:04:17 He would not have sex with you. Ever. He'd be like I'm definitely gay. He'd be like maybe actually this chicken and the purr Actually, nut, never mind. I just do rewind to that. How does that happen that, like, you just burp incontrollably?
Starting point is 00:04:33 That's never happened to me. One of the most unattractive things I've ever witnessed, burping up a nut. So you didn't have the nut in your mouth. You burped it now or you have it. No, no, no. It was just like, that nut didn't come up. It was the nut. I swallowed the nut.
Starting point is 00:04:47 And then it was like the air from the nut popped back off. Play, Ricky Barton. Jesus Christ. It's disgusting thing. Okay, well, this is the one you wanted. That was so weird But it felt amazing But look, bloody disgusting
Starting point is 00:05:02 She put it back in the mouth and eaten it No, that's a new nut It's a new nut, it's a new nut, I got a new nut It does not want to go near you Yeah The Clint Migg and Dan podcast She bangs, it is your six-hand throwback After he took out of award at the VMAs last night
Starting point is 00:05:18 I didn't even know he was still up four awards No, hey, Latin icon Yeah Oh, it's like a A career achievement award Yeah, right. Not because he's dropping a new album. That's like goat status.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Exactly. That's better than an award. Absolutely. Lifetime. Because, you know, he was in Minudo. He was in a very famous boy band. Then he was... Very famous.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Never heard of it. What was it? Menudo. I'll get the stats for you. Okay. You're just jealous because you weren't ever in a boy band. I mean, I'd say because they were a Latin band, they would be huge. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Because everything that's Latin. Do you know what country, Ricky's from? Spain. Nope. Portugal Oh no, let me get a bit No, he's definitely not from Portugal Yeah, well you got it wrong as well mate
Starting point is 00:06:00 I was just throwing out a bit of a left field Same as J-Lo Puerto Rico Well I was close to mate Because mine's starting with pee Portugal and Puerto Rico They don't even speak Spanish in Portugal But they sound much closer
Starting point is 00:06:14 I thought I'd heard it at that somewhere Does anybody want to buy bed I'm selling my bed on trade bed Two weeks ago Where were you two weeks ago? It's a second-hand bed and we've had a couple of people come over tire kickers because I've got it on Facebook marketplace
Starting point is 00:06:27 and it's a, it's an old bed. How much you're selling it for? Well, I've said I've put it in 250 or near offer. And you're allowing people to come over and look at it for 250? Well, now I've shut up shop. But yeah, because we've had two people come over. And there's nothing more degrading than when someone comes into your room,
Starting point is 00:06:41 into your room and they go, oh no, thanks though. And walk out if they don't approve of your crappy bed. You've got to put all the photos of it online and say, pick up cash on pickup no tire kickers yeah well they need to do that and if you want 250 you put it on Facebook marketplace for 350 and people go will you take 250 and you go yeah
Starting point is 00:07:02 honestly you just I've had that so many times where people will try and half what the price is so you go and double the price and then they half it to what you want in the first place I've got a bad track record of selling beds as well we'll try and find a replay of the time I sold by mattress on Trade Me and it was the worst one of the worst moments of my life But that was your fault. You lied.
Starting point is 00:07:21 It was, it was. It was all self-inflicted. But the lady came up to the door, and what ensued was perhaps one of the most embarrassing and stressful moments in my life. Are you going to tell me what happened or tease me? Long story short, I'd asked, I think, for $100. And she was, there was a stain on the mattress.
Starting point is 00:07:40 What color was it? It was like a coffee stain. No, it was brown. You know, I know the one you know, but we don't know if it was coffee. We just know it was brown. I didn't ask. I didn't say what colour was the same. I didn't say what colour was the same. I hadn't done a meg, okay?
Starting point is 00:07:53 So there was a coffee stain. And the lady tried to talk me down. And instead of pretending to be myself, I said, Dan, who is the owner, is not here. What is wrong with you? Isn't that funny? You see a brown stain instead of going, nut, no deal. You go, how about 50? Yeah, be disgusting.
Starting point is 00:08:08 And then she said, I'll just ring him because she had the number of me. And instead of me going, oh, don't worry. I was like, oh. What is wrong with you? And so my phone starts ringing in my pocket. She just thinks I'm Dan's flatmate. So I ran back downstairs, answered the phone while she's still at the door,
Starting point is 00:08:22 did this negotiation, then ran back up. It was stressful as. One of the most stressful moments of my life. But it's all self-inflicted. But then the best part was after he'd done the double act and he'd pretended to be the flatmate and run back inside to check with him and stuff. While they're picking up the bed and putting it on,
Starting point is 00:08:38 she goes, oh, will he take bank transfer? And Dan goes, oh, I'll just ring him just in case. She rings again, and my phone starts ringing in my pocket. At that point, you need to put your phone on, plane mode, darling. But Dan's like holding a mattress. So it's supposed to bezz... Bz...
Starting point is 00:08:54 That is just the reason, just don't lie. That was, don't lie. You're supposed to learn that lesson when you're like seven. I know. I know. I went sold a pram that I'd gotten for free, hashtag influencer. And a woman came over with her husband
Starting point is 00:09:08 and young child to pick it up. And then as she loaded into her car, she's like, oh, it was like $250. She's like, well, you've only got $200 on me. I'm like, no, $250. So you had to get it out of the car? Yeah, I was like, don't lie to me. Negotiate before you put it in your car, if you're going to try and stoop me 50 bucks.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Yeah, but then I do you reckon she did have the 250 and then it became the stubborn, like, stalemate where it's like... You know, she gave me 2.50 in the end. Oh, yeah. Because she just, while she's got it. I would have given her to it for 150. If she told me, hey, I've only got 150. I'm like, of course, style. But the fact that she put it in her car, then tried to negotiate the agreed price.
Starting point is 00:09:45 We'd agreed on the price already. of a text, they get $2.50's great. At least you didn't pretend to be someone else. I do love it. Facebook Marketplace, like, disaster stories. We could take some early if you've got one. I feel like, trade me, yeah, you're probably still going to get disaster stories, but I just feel, I don't know, Facebook Marketplace is the place, and way more scammers as well.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Different, eh? Very much so. And it used to be, it's hard now to get scammed, I think, because you have to be really, no judgment, but, you know. But back in the day, it was so easy to get scammed. Like one of the ladies that came over to view my beard yesterday. smelled like soup. What kind? Like a pumpkin soup?
Starting point is 00:10:20 Like just a like vegetable soup. And the smell lingered after she'd left. Oh, you know, I wouldn't have had a little lingering smell. Hannah was like, are you making soup? And I was like, no, that was that woman that just came into our house. She's off. She smelled like soup. Soup lady.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Maybe she worked in a soup kitchen. She definitely didn't. I think she didn't have a job. She tried to talk us down from 250 for 50. And did you give it to it? Absolutely not. It's a nice bed. It might have been.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Some soups filled on. This one, Dan, had no stains. Clint, Megan Dan. Lesh goal! First call of the day! First call of the day! Speaking of cool names, she's from Auckland. She works as a credit controller for Just Water.
Starting point is 00:11:02 She drives a yellow Suzuki Sport. She's an Ares. She's been married to her husband for 23 years. Get in, what an innings. Her name is April. Good morning. Good morning. Oh, yeah. From 10 age mutant ninja turtles.
Starting point is 00:11:16 That's the only other April that comes to mind. Yeah, well, April Urimia, remember her from the TV. One of my favourite songs of all time by Simon and Garfunkel. April, come she will. Yeah. As in like April will always come, the month of April comes. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Simon and Garfunkel wouldn't strip to the level of the other type of gag. Do you know that song, April? No, I really like Simon and Garfunkel, but I don't actually know that one. Yeah, Google, April. Come, She Will. It's beautiful. It's all about, like, different seasons and the inevitability of time. I got the one from Dragons. The Paul Simon, sorry, the Son to Gartham.
Starting point is 00:11:57 It's always fun to have a song that's got your name in it, hey. Mine's that Daniel's song by Mountain John. Daniel is flying tonight on a plane. Is there a Clint one? No, I don't think so. I don't think there's a Ash or an Ashley one either. Oh, there'll be an Ashley song. There'd definitely be an Ashley song.
Starting point is 00:12:14 There'd definitely be an Ashley song. Has anyone found a Nipia song yet or? No. Bugga. Nipia don't feel. What a bad bitch. She's a baddest baddest guy. We love him so much.
Starting point is 00:12:25 It's perfect. That's all I need. That's an original from Ash there. What are you up to, Ashley? Oh, sorry, April? Yeah. Yeah. What are you up to so early?
Starting point is 00:12:33 Yeah. I'm on my way to work. Okay. Oh, yeah. That's an early start for a Just Water Credit Controller. Is that someone to you like, yeah? Is that the Billy?
Starting point is 00:12:45 and that kind of thing like that kind of thing like bill billing that the apartment I chased up overdue so if I've been getting free water for too long you're like
Starting point is 00:12:58 come on pay out mate so how often April you go hey mate don't shoot the messenger right I'm just passing it on I work with all the big key accounts so you know hundreds of callers per account
Starting point is 00:13:13 who won't you don't have to to say which customer, what's the biggest amount of money owed to just water right now? Oh, yeah. Um, probably our biggest customer bills about $17,000 in the month. In water. Wow. It's probably like a headspart. A head smart company.
Starting point is 00:13:39 And do you know what, April, if they put, if Amazon put those huge-ass AI bloody service centres, they're going to be having some big-ass water bills. True, yeah, just water. To keep the cool, keep the service cool. Yes. Could there be, yeah, well, I guess it's a fun game, but we don't want to get two. No, we don't need to know who. I was like, maybe it's like a cement company
Starting point is 00:14:01 because you obviously mix in the water with the cement. That would be that much water. No, and then I was like a water blasting company. Like all the people that pull. What is an example of like a business that uses lots of water? because we just think little things, like a hairdresser. I think you just do watercoulders, don't you? Yeah, watercolas, fountains.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Oh, my bad. I'm not from New Zealand. I thought Just Water was like the people that supply water to, like, taps and stuff. I didn't know it was a company that I apologize April. I'm still learning. Yeah. We didn't get into drinking water a month. I know, crazy, eh?
Starting point is 00:14:42 Holy who is that thirsty? No, I'm like, no. Which company is getting so hot Do they need to be hydrated that much? That's a lot of watercooler chat. I'll tell you that for nothing. Thanks for calling through April. We appreciate you.

Awesome. Thank you. You're welcome, babe. Good in the hood is on Zed you can vote for your favourite community group today. I'm not done talking about the fact that a company would spend $17,000 a month on drinking water for their employee.
Starting point is 00:15:14 I know. Hey, I want to work for that company. If they're spending $17,000 on water, what else are they spending? Also, I found a song about Ashley. And I would have traded for the world. Big Sean and Miguel. When are they going to say my name? Oh, thank you.
Starting point is 00:15:39 It's a bit of a B-side, isn't it, though? What are they going to say, Ashley? I imagine it's coming now, it's coming now, it's coming now. Ashley. Yeah, I got a brand new band. There's nothing much rhymes with Ashley. Hash me, Pasch me. All right, you're charged Zambakker.

Ash, you, you've been talking about it all morning, so you know, you know. I don't know. Don't blame your vagina. Yeah, right? There's only so much you can do, you can blame on you
Starting point is 00:16:58 a fanny. Okay. I don't know what grab do we have. Can you play the grabs and then I'll tell you what it's about? Okay, I've got a... Okay, I've got a rookie MTA clip. Okay, play that for me, baby. At the MTV VMA Awards in New York City yesterday Enrique Martin Morales, aka Ricky Martin took out the Latin icon award with a five-minute medley.
Starting point is 00:17:27 He did Live in La Vita Loka, Shake Your Bon Bon, Maria, the Cup of Life and Live in the Vita Loka, I've already said that. Yeah, well, he did those ones. I haven't seen the performance, Ash, but I'm imagining right now in my head. He's not fully shirtless, but he's got a shirt on. It's unbuttoned fully at the front, and he's swinging around. his abs, which he's gotten his 50s. He doesn't show the abs off even though he has them,
Starting point is 00:17:48 but what he did was a very slow stripte. So he started with many layers, and every time he changed songs, he took it their layer off. You would show up, like abs are so hard to get and maintain. Yes. If you had them, why would you even wear a shirt? And if you had a shirt, you'd be finding any opportunity to get it off. God, God, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:18:04 He's 50, too. He's not going to have abs for much longer if he does have them. Hey, relax, babe. It's okay. What's the next grab? Okay, I'll play the great view. Sabrina Carpenter, she took out best pop artist, I believe, an album of the year for short and sweet. And obviously she performed, and she had a bit of a Brittany moment. She channeled Britney at the VMAs with like a silver brawlet.
Starting point is 00:18:31 I do know. I do everything about the VMA. Shane Michael Boose, aka Somba, performed and took out alternative artist. He's new on the scenes. It's very exciting for him. Good, hallelujah. And Doja Cat also performed.
Starting point is 00:18:57 I don't remember which one she won, but I'm assuming it was probably best, like, R&B, what we call it? Best solo, best hoddy. Best hotby. And the best hoddy goes to Doge Cat. And then Mariah Carey took. out like the Video Vanguard Award, which is like the OG, like every year they give it out to
Starting point is 00:19:19 someone who's done so many amazing music videos. And Mariah took it out and she also took out best, she actually took a bit of ceremony. So good on you Mariah. What's this last quote? Youngblood. Young blood. Oh wow. Doing Ozzy? Yeah, he came out and Stephen Tyre. Wasn't it? Stephen Tyler of the end came out as well? Yeah, Aerosmith. From Aerosmith, they did a whole tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. Incredible actually. Youngblood, I reckon is an underrated. artist in terms of like he's been around you were saying he's been around for a long time but he's only sort of starting to hit like
Starting point is 00:19:50 worldwide status. He's always had really like obsessive young blood fans and he's a legend of a kid. His name's Dom he keeps all the gig tickets his gigs really like low price that people can afford to go and he's always has had a beautiful attitude and yeah he's always been big among his people
Starting point is 00:20:06 but now I feel like he's starting to come into the mainstream and he's got it like no one's got a bad word to say about the kid I really love him we had him in here once like a couple of years ago before he was, I think he was doing more of his pop stuff back then. And he was such a lovely guy. He looks like he's fairly scary, like, fairly goth-like. But he was really nice.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Wonderful. That's the VMA's rap that I was actually quite prepared for. Yeah, okay, cool. The world record, if you've ever been obsessed with becoming the best in the world at anything? Like getting a Guinness World Record? No, except yeah. Clint is like that person.
Starting point is 00:20:37 For a year, I tried to be that person. And I think unofficially I might have been like once or twice. What were your things? Most matches put out on the tongue in one minute. Now, that's the reason he can't taste anything anymore. I remember doing that at a family dinner. I'd be like, guys, time me, time me. I'm doing it tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:20:57 But I don't practice way too much and I just burnt all my tongue. I couldn't feel anything. Yeah, it wasn't good. The Clint Megandandandand podcast. There is a dude in Spain, Christian Roberto Lopez Rodriguez. Oh, hot name. Christian Roberto Rodriguez-Lopez. He had the Guinness World Records for the fastest 100 metre
Starting point is 00:21:16 Backward Sprint in High Heels And he's gone and beating it I feel like it should be a drag queen that's doing that And I hope he's a drag queen Because I think there might be some queens listening to go No, I hope he's not a drag queen I hope he's just an everyday bloke That's got a wife of kids
Starting point is 00:21:32 That just puts on some high heels every down there and runs back on this. I don't know if Dan could run this fast forwards 16.5 seconds Oh obviously I could No you couldn't How far is it? 100 metres. The world record is like 9 seconds something.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Yeah, pretty well. 10. I could do it. Most people could do that. No, you couldn't. There's no way you could run. I'm going to make you do it now. But do you would agree that he could beat me in 100 metres sprint and he bet a thousand dollars.
Starting point is 00:21:59 And then I told him he couldn't. And of course he didn't have a thousand dollars. So he said he'd bet his cat. And of course I beat him. And then he had to give me his cat. I didn't. Have you got Kimmy? No.
Starting point is 00:22:08 No, because he wouldn't give me it. So the long story that can't. continues on. I was going to change his cat's name to Kevin because it's a boy cat and his boy's, his cat's name. So I was going to change it to Kevin. He wouldn't give me the cat, so I made him put Kevin in his legal name. And so I did. I did it through D-Pol. That's how it happened. That's how he got Kevin in his middle name. But then you spelled it wrong in the fours. Well, I didn't spell it wrong. It was just my handwriting was terrible. So they thought I'd written Kiyun. So it became Dan. What was it? Dan James Castle, Cune,
Starting point is 00:22:35 Webby. And anyone is an OG listener of the show and he just found out like last week, Dan legally paid the $250 to change it back. So I've changed it back, so now Kuhin's gone from my name. Which is Kevin now or nothing? Just nothing. Which is fine because I got my pound of flesh. Like, I had my laugh. Like, he can legally change it back.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Dan left it for like a year. I was like, you know, well played. So I don't know. I think most people would struggle to run that forwards. Here's the craziest part. If you want to attempt the record, the heel, guess how high it has to be? How high?
Starting point is 00:23:04 Minimumum seven centimetres. I'm just coming up with these rules, you know? I thought he's got like a tiny. little hill. Seven centimeters is a giant hill. I couldn't even walk in those. There's so many different records. We've just Googled like a whole load of weird world records that you could set.
Starting point is 00:23:21 There's New Zealander that's got the record for the fastest barefoot run on Lego. I mean, everybody that's got kids has stepped on Lego at one point or another. So do you reckon, wait, wait, is it like, is it one big sheet of Lego? Is it all just little bits of Lego? Yeah, it must be just like, I guess you get a bucket and you just drag it all the way down, dropping bits and pieces for 100 metres. And Deb Says she's got some sort of a record
Starting point is 00:23:46 Morning, Debbie Hello, it's Deb Oh, just Deb So what have you won the You've won the Masters and what? Olympic weightlifting Shut up Really? Wow
Starting point is 00:24:00 So is it like the snatch or press What is it? Snatch and clean and jerk And how happy are we talking, Deb? I had a total of 112 KGs. And is that still like a, is that still the record to this day? No, no, no. I held the New Zealand record for a while and then went to the world champs and won the world champs.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Good on you. That's amazing. That's incredible. That's two of me's that you've just gone, yonk! Yep, straight up. Are you still pretty strong, Deb? Not as strong as I was being. I injured myself.
Starting point is 00:24:40 and had to um stop but um yeah i'm still strong but not as strong as i was yeah you'd hit the top of the game you know so why i continue you just retire it go out at the top good on you deb that's fantastic how many when was the last time you did a clean and jerk dad i've never attempted it to be honest never attended that surprises me yeah i've done one of them you're right that ain't the clean yeah thank you deb i'm just looking at there's a lot of clint i reckon we bring it back you attempting world records because there's so many niche ones that you could attempt.
Starting point is 00:25:13 I got close as well to the most cans stacked in a fridge in 30 or 60 seconds but it's like even if I do achieve it but everyone's like oh yeah I'm a loser
Starting point is 00:25:24 if you do an uncool record then people are like is that what you're spending your time doing? God do you attempt this one Ash the most beans eaten with a chopstick I could do that I'm really good with chopsticks 73 apparently in how long one minute
Starting point is 00:25:39 Um, doesn't... Oh, in a minute, yes. Seventy-three beans in a minute. Which is Carl and I looked into, was it you and I, about the most toilet rolls stacked on the head? Yeah, we did. How many? Well, the guy, it was like 100, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:25:54 Yeah, it was about 100. He'd have a platform you'd think of, like, say, 20. So, like, a 25, like a 5-5. Yeah. And then you can put a, like, a piece of cardboard, and then you do a 4-4, and then a piece of cardboard. So, effectively, you have, like, a pyramid on your head of toilet rolls, and you have to, like, stand there and have it, like...
Starting point is 00:26:12 And it's not full. Sorry, did Ash just say it's easy? Because I feel like I'm going to Costco this afternoon. Don't be wasteful. But, like, it's things like that. No, we use it later. Yeah, well, anyone could do it if they try long enough. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:26:24 It's no skill. I think a lot of the time people are just too lazy to even attempt to do it. So he's just got it. Exactly. Like, who else is going to be like, yeah, I'll waste 100 rolls of toilet paper. I actually would like to go to the track and see if Dan could run 100 metres and 16.5. I guarantee I could.
Starting point is 00:26:40 I guarantee if the guy can do it backwards in high heels, most people can do it forwards. You're going to look like an idiot. So am I going at Costco or number one shoe warehouse after the show today? Neither. Neither. This is no way you can run 100 metres in 16 seconds.
Starting point is 00:26:53 The guy was in high heels going backwards. Clip, me and Dan. We are there some spa. Hi. Yo. Peace. Good morning, 2 bar 7 on your Tuesday. Let's get into it.
Starting point is 00:27:06 A $45,000. ball on the line if you can tell us who the second, third and fifth, stars are. We know one in four. Billy Elish and Averillivine. We just need three more more. It's getting hot in here. One more time. Getting hot and here. It's getting hot.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Hot. Hot. Guessing this morning, he's one of our favorite listeners. Hayden Allen, good morning. Colder. How are you? Good. Good. Hayden. He's an OG. He listens round the clock. How many hours do you reckon
Starting point is 00:27:36 you do listen to the show a day or a week? Well, all of it? Wait, do you listen from... Six to ten every day? Yeah. Oh, shut. If we have more Hayden Allens in the country, God.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Yeah, our ratings would be amazing. We'll get pay rises. Yeah, be more like Hayden, everybody. We'd be up with Mike Hoskin. Yeah, come on, guys. Let's all be a little bit more like Hayden today. Yeah. What's your guess is Hayden?
Starting point is 00:28:02 All right, so I'm guessing for two and three, do a leaper. Okay. And for number five, Brendan Yuri. Oh, great guess. Yeah, Panic at the Disco. Here, here. Yeah, he does have it here.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Yeah, good, good, good, good, good. Yeah. I'm happy with that, Haydo. Good guess is. You have identified, unfortunately, Hayden, no stars in the correct spot. Okay, loser. How did he use you? How dare you play that for Haydo?
Starting point is 00:28:31 No, but I can play that for Hayden because we're boys. Because he's OG. Yeah, yeah. He can, I know he can handle it. it. He's not going to go running off to that other station, you know? Thanks, Hayden. I appreciate you, and you know what you've done? You've helped other people because they've gone all right.
Starting point is 00:28:44 That's all about the community here, you know? That is. Yeah, yeah. Hayden, did you hear the clue? You must have. You listened to four hours a day. There has been one star guest correctly, but they were in the incorrect position last week. All three of us also discussed that same star at some point last week on the show. Hey, I know who it is.
Starting point is 00:29:03 No? Oh, yes. I think, to be honest, we're very close, I reckon, to at least getting one more star. We just need to keep... I feel like everyone needs to focus on hot. Hot. And that's a...
Starting point is 00:29:16 Can I just say something? Oh, no. That's a clue. A clue in itself is me saying we've got to focus on hot. It's getting hot in here. Hot. It's the hardest one to hear because it's so quick. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:28 All right, back again at 8 o'clock. Your chance to have a cracker. Thank you, Haydain. I appreciate you, mate. Come up next. If you're in a job that you hate and you've been doing a career for very, very long. What if you just don't like your co-workers
Starting point is 00:29:41 but you don't mind the gay? Oh, then that's a different issue. But if you've been in a career and you're in your mid-30s and you're like, it's too late to pivot. I've got a story for you that will make you think otherwise. You're great. You're going to hear it. Clint, Megan Dan.
Starting point is 00:29:55 It's urine and Sapphire. On the edge here is a new music out. He's got a new album, play. It's out on Friday. And so Ed Jarvo's, again, going to be hanging out in Commercial Bay in Auckland, thanks to one NZ. It's a pop-up. Yeah, it's a pop-up bar. Yeah. It's going to be so
Starting point is 00:30:10 sick, and it's going to be exclusive merch available there that you can only get... How cool. I know. So if you can bring your best orange-themed item, the bigger, the crazier and the more creative, the better, if your item is impressive enough, you'll win double past Ed Sharon as well. Shut up. They've got tickets.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Do you know, I, um, my niece had her birthday this week, and back in Australia, she's like 10. Anyway, when the tickets went on sale, I sat on the pre-sale for like two whole day. like two separate pre-sells trying to get tickets for them because my brother has a proper job. So I like, it took me hours and hours and hours. I got the tickets for my brother, sent them over
Starting point is 00:30:43 and then like on the weekend my manned his course, Anish, Anish, guess what Daddy got me for my birthday? Ed Shearing tickets. And you were like, what? I was like, are you serious? She said, yeah, that was so hard to get and none of my friends got them, but Daddy got them. And I was like, oh, he's the best daddy in the world.
Starting point is 00:30:59 You're so lucky. He did so much to get those tickets. He spent hours. and hours on the Ticketmaster website on multiple devices over multiple days to get those tickets. Yeah, good on you. I have a story about my wife.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Now, I've always been... Say it properly. You're what? May wave. May wave. It's nice. I've always been really inspired with people that have career pivoted. Yeah, me too. Because it's never too late. And I was in a job before this job
Starting point is 00:31:27 on the breakfast show where I'd been doing it for 10 years. Shut up. I'd been producing. And I love the job. But it got to the point where I was getting stagnant And I was looking for jobs Wait, wait, wait, I need so to interrupt your amazing story Who's the dickhead that didn't put you on air for 10 years?
Starting point is 00:31:44 I'm not going to say his name. Because he might have been also the guy who gave you now this job. Yeah, we love him, whoever that is. But you are one of the most talented broadcasters I've ever worked with. Oh, bless you. I mean, the producers is its own very special, very hard job. What are you saying about the producers? No, I'm saying, no, I couldn't do it because I'm
Starting point is 00:32:03 don't have those organizational creative skills, but you are so clearly meant to be on air that the mind boggles. Well, thank you. But I got to a point where I sort of was like, oh, maybe it's not for me. You know, maybe it will never happen for me. And so I was forced to kind of think outside of radio and outside of my career.
Starting point is 00:32:19 And it was so difficult. I remember thinking, like, I'm in mid, my mid, like early to mid-30s now. Yeah. I think I've left it too late to pivot. I understand. And case in point, I now start talking about my wife, Hannah, who has been... My wife.
Starting point is 00:32:32 no way I'm sorry we stopped doing it we've gone to the serious but I'm sorry guys I picked up on that and I've laid back come on Clint
Starting point is 00:32:41 yeah yeah sorry I agree she's been working in healthcare her whole career and got to a point where she was not enjoying it
Starting point is 00:32:48 she was over it and she wanted a change and would she have spent quite a lot of money on her degree and time like thousands of dollars and I guess
Starting point is 00:32:57 she couldn't always like fall back on it but she decided she wanted to change and instead of thinking it was in the too hard basket. She put together a CV. She applied for hundreds of jobs.
Starting point is 00:33:07 She worked at, like, researching stuff that she'd be good at. And she has pivoted in the last year from working in healthcare to working in telco for two degrees. And she will never look back. She loves it. She loves the company. She loves working in the industry. That's amazing. And I just thought it was super inspiration.
Starting point is 00:33:23 I'm so proud of her that anybody can do this. You know, like, sometimes it does seem if you're in a job that you don't like. and there's a lot of people now that maybe are getting made redundant from their jobs that you can go into a completely different industry and if you put your mind to it, you will succeed. It doesn't matter how old you are. It's amazing. One of our kindy friends, moms,
Starting point is 00:33:45 she did the opposite. She became a GP in her late 30s. Rupi would have been like one or two as she was like retraining. And I look at her and I'm like, that is so freaking brave. It's funny because for a lot of people it's the fear of the unknown.
Starting point is 00:34:00 And then you have that other type of person where it's like changes as good as a holiday. Yes. You know, and it's like maybe it is just that, the fair of the unknown. And if you're confident enough to step out and go, well, if I'm great at this, then why couldn't I be great at that? But also you need the support of the funer.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Like you need your husband or wife or partner to be on board because that's a sacrifice you would have had to make to go, okay, well, I'm going to work my ass off and I'm going to keep the money coming in. Exactly. And someone wise once said to me, you're better at the bottom of a ladder you want to be on then at the top of a ladder, you don't want to.
Starting point is 00:34:32 That was me, I said that too. Yeah, they were clearly such a wise man. Producer Carl actually had a massive pivot before getting into radio. Yeah, I just like always wanted to get into radio and I was like, well, I listened all the time and I loved the edge. And I was a landscaper at the time
Starting point is 00:34:46 and had like a little landscaping company and stuff like that. But it was driving me insane, looking at my future and going, am I just going to keep being a landscaper? And so I just started getting hold of people here at the edge. This was 15, 16, or 2016, It was 2010.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Started getting hold of people and then just started turning up and I turned up every single Friday until I got a job. And here I am. Still 15 years later just sit. I love it. And we're already getting
Starting point is 00:35:10 so many tacks from people who have like pivoted later in life. It's so inspiring. I thought it would be a cool thing and inspirational for people right now that are in a job they don't like. Call through if you've had a pivot, a successful pivot.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Because in your career because I think there's a lot of people out there. And people need to often just, you just need to hear that it's possible and you hear that someone else did it and their life didn't fall to crap and that it came good to inspire you to have the courage. So who's got the most interesting jump
Starting point is 00:35:35 from what they were doing to what they're doing now? I'm excited for this. Yeah, you won't believe what I used to do before, you know, this job. Yeah. And how did you do it? I want to know. 0-800 the edge, text 3233-43-4-3. Pivots. We are talking career pivot.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Pivot! Pivot! Pivot! What is? The most interesting jump from what you were doing to what you are doing now, Dan was telling us about how his wife was a doctor, now she's working on telecommunications. Yeah, and loves it, you know, like loves the world of, like, as corporate.
Starting point is 00:36:10 She's gone from like a government agency, I guess, to corporate. The text we are getting through are like making me want to cry. Big shoutouts to Katie. She said, I'm making a pivot, solo mum with two kids going from an administrative professional to studying a degree in criminology so I can help in rehabilitate. I'm exhausted, 44 and should be where I'm changing to. She is incredible, keep going, Katie. Good on you, and it's hard work.
Starting point is 00:36:35 It really is. It's so hard work. But it's worth it in the end. I really do believe that. Dylan joins us on the phone. Well, Dylan, you went from hospitality to what? So I retrained as a accountant, so I actually graduated earlier this year. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Good on you. Congratulations. Good on. And how did you do that? Obviously, there'd be a lot of people listening right now that maybe go, I'd love to retrain, but then it costs money, then I have to obviously take time off work to do it. It's not everybody can't do that.
Starting point is 00:37:08 How did you do it? So I was actually quite lucky and supportive by the company that I work for, and they provided me with some extra time off, and actually, as long as I passed a paper, they have to pay for the next one. That's awesome. Oh, wow, especially knowing that you're going to leave that industry, and they're still being supportive? Of you, how good is that?
Starting point is 00:37:29 I was actually working in finance at the time, so I retrained whilst I was working in the profession I was wanting to... That was so cool. So you get a foot in the door, and then they like you, they know you're hard work, and they say, cool, you study, we'll support you as you do that. And that is such a testament to just like asking, right? Well, I was trying.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Ruben had a massive pivot here. Morning, Rubin. Morning. So what did you go from? I went from a graphic designer. in a corporate for 30 years to a primary school teacher. Wow. And how old were you when you became a primary school teacher?
Starting point is 00:38:05 I'm into my second term and I'm 52. Come on, yeah. Is it the best? Like, is it everything that you had hoped in more? Oh, yeah, I mean, it's definitely, it's more purposeful. Yeah, every day is a challenge. I absolutely love that. Oh, man, you've got school holidays coming up in three weeks, don't you?
Starting point is 00:38:27 Yeah, you can't knock the holidays. Yeah, the holidays are great. Teachers just have those holidays. That's awesome, Rubin. And a lot of people have messaged through saying that there's actually quite a few of these texts that have pivoted late in their career to be a police officer. And Nicola, your husband is one of those people. Morning, guys.
Starting point is 00:38:47 How are you? Yeah, good. Oh, he's a cop now. Yeah, he was a builder for, I don't know how many years, a long time. And then decided he wanted a change in career. so we went to be a policeman. That's so a better work stories. And does he get to take the uniform home?
Starting point is 00:39:03 Yeah, it brings you, oh no, not all of it, but part of it, yes. Oh, not all. Just the handcuffs, baby. Just the handcuffs and the hat. I don't think if you use the handcuffs. No, no, no, no, no, Nicola's like, respect the uniform. That's awesome, Nicola. It's just so fantastic.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Yeah, and it must be really cool as well to see your husband so imagine, like, passionate, excited about his new career and direction. Oh, he loved it. He just, yeah, he loves the community and the crew that he works with. It's, yeah. And it's been a massive lifestyle change for us. Yeah. You know, we've seen him more in the last two years since he joined
Starting point is 00:39:38 than we've seen him in the last 12 years. Wow. How good. That's awesome. And you know what? Every text that we've seen, there's been so many messages that have come through. And every one of them is positive. There's no one that's gone, oh, I pivoted on my career and hate it.
Starting point is 00:39:51 And the point of this really is, I guess, echoed by what Morgan just texted who joins us on the show now, you said Morgan, you text to go, oh my God, I needed this after just being made redundant from animal care. Yeah, yeah. Thanks for that, guys. No worries. What are your skills and whereabouts in the country are you?
Starting point is 00:40:10 Because there might be someone listening right now that needs your skills in their business. Yeah, so I'm in Christchurch. I actually moved over from the States about five years ago. I was a primary school teacher in the States and just kind of fell out of love with that pretty quickly. And then I was like, oh, I've always loved animals. So I just started volunteering at places and recently got a job in animal care.
Starting point is 00:40:35 And I've been loving it. But unfortunately, five months in I've been made redundant due to some restructuring. Yeah. So I'm just feeling kind of lost right now, you know. I know I want to continue in it. But being made redundant, you know, it's kind of like, oh, what do I do now, you know? where do I go at this point? And there's so many other people like you, Morgan,
Starting point is 00:41:00 that are being made redundant, so you're not alone. But if there's anybody in there, you were saying you were in Christchurch? Yeah, yeah. If there's anybody listening right now that thinks that they could use your skills in animal care, get in touch with us and we can put you in touch together
Starting point is 00:41:14 and we can get you a job. Good on you, Morgan. Yeah, that would be awesome. So often when we're in these situations and you look around, you think everything is going to crap and my life is falling apart and I don't know what to do next.
Starting point is 00:41:24 I can guarantee you that there will be a time in a couple years where you'll look back and you'll go, ah, everything was just falling into place and we all believe that for you, Morgan. So we're cheering you on, darling. You can do this. Clint Meg and Dan. Oh, it's a big one.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Clickbait callback. All right, all week we're giving you the chance to hit us with a clickbait headline. We'll get the full story. And then our favourite story from this week, it's a fast pass. We'll call you 6am Friday morning. If you pick up, you're on the air and you go into Electric Avenue,
Starting point is 00:41:54 for free, Christchurch Hagerley Park, 27th, 28th of Feb. Now there's some very intriguing headlines that have come through via texts of people's stories. What about this one? HIP MRI, but what they found was the size of a loaf of bread. That is a large lump. Like was it a sebaceous cyst? Yeah, this one is grabbing my attention more.
Starting point is 00:42:19 I nailed my foreskin to a plank of wood for a bar tab. Don't you want to know how much of the bar? bar tab would have had to have been. It doesn't matter. That person's got issues. $100,000 I wouldn't do it. Why would you, what sort of bar tab? I just wonder what everyone's prices for like silly things like that. You know, some guys would be like 50 bucks.
Starting point is 00:42:36 But it's just a bar tab. It's not like cash where you can spend it anywhere. It's not curing cancer. Producers car. Do you want me to find out off here what the bar tab was? I would appreciate that. Okay, standby. Because these guys are going to overrule me on that.
Starting point is 00:42:50 I like this one here from Tamsin that has said ended up naked in a lift. Now, how does that happen? I'm imagining, like, hotel, late night. I don't know. Yeah, maybe you... Like went out of the room and the door closed. Oh, gosh, it's my nightmare. Never leave your hotel room naked.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Yeah. Look about this text from Stephen. Ash hates one of her co-hosts, but which one? Stephen, I told you that in confidence. That is a good one. Produce Carl, any word on the bar tab? $200 for the bar tab. Oh, my God, that is not enough, Jace.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Man's got a weird fetish. That's what that comes down to. Okay. What do you want to do? I reckon naked in the lift. Tamsin? How does that happen? Okay. Good morning, Tamsin.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Good morning. Okay, so this is good. You've got our attention. What happened and why did you end up naked in a lift? So it must have been about 20 years ago, and me and my husband at the time had had a fun night out with some friends in town. And we were staying at the Duckston. It used to be called in Auckland.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Oh, yeah. I remember that. Yeah. And I was in the hotel. for too many drinks, obviously. Walk down the stairs of the hotel room and instead of turning left after... Instead of turning right after the bathroom,
Starting point is 00:44:04 I went, left out the door. I must have been just kind of sleepwalking and then I woke up and I'm literally here a click and I'm standing outside of the front of the hotel room and I'm completely naked. I look to the right. There's just whole right and left in all these rooms. I literally was so embarrassed.
Starting point is 00:44:23 I looked down. Paverotti had just been in. town. He was on the paper that had been delivered. I've got a lot of a long time ago. He's dead now, isn't he? Yeah. And I had to use Pavarotti.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Oh my gosh. Paper around me literally so I took one piece and put it on my upper area and one piece in my lower area. And literally I jumped into the lift and thinking no one's going to be around like 3 a.m. in the morning. I was knocking on my door obviously but my husband was snoring so he didn't meet me in.
Starting point is 00:44:52 So I tried that first. Went into the lift thinking no one's going to be, you know, up. Three a year. Next minute I'm, the last time I'm looking at it, I'm like five, four, three, and it goes, and this man standing there and he goes, what the F, excuse me, and I was just like so embarrassed, I was like, oh, it's okay, you can come in, what was they thinking, and they get into the ground floor, and the people behind the desk, they didn't even, like, I was, you know, shuffling with paper.
Starting point is 00:45:22 they didn't even ask, oh, do you need help? Can you give you a key? I was like, I need a key. And they didn't even give me a robe. I got back in the lift with the paper. Wow. Oh my gosh. Thank you, Cameroddy.
Starting point is 00:45:34 I tell you, it was not a great memory that I wanted. That was a great story, Tams. Do you have a pameron? It would give you flashbacks. Oh my gosh, what a great story. Okay, Tamsan, you are in the running for the fast past 6 a.m. Friday. Make sure you answer. If we call you back, you'll be going to electric cabin.
Starting point is 00:45:52 for free, along with everyone else that gets on here Friday morning between 6 and 10. Thanks, Tams and well done. All right, the Gen Z quiz up next. If you're a millennial, you will absolutely ace this test. It's the nostalgia that you needed for your shoes. I go, oh my God, these are too easy. But if you're a Gen Z
Starting point is 00:46:06 you might learn a thing or two. Here's a little test question. Okay. Name All the powers, the rings possessed with Captain Planet. Fire, wind, water. She's listening. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. I didn't. Yeah, I lost that one.
Starting point is 00:46:22 I can feel the vibes of the other person. He can, like, get an antelope to come running if there's one around. He got the worst way. Clint Megan Dan. And our webbill baller joins us in studio. For the Gen Z quiz, we will continue to play until she gets a perfect score, five from five, which she has yet to do ever. Monday, I'll get it.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Maybe today. I think today's the day. We've made it super easy. It's the easiest amount of questions you've got. I disagree with what Dan's saying. Yeah, he says, he's really setting you up to look even silly. If you can't get it. But if you're a millennial or Gen X-A, you're like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:46:55 But that's because these things happened when you're alive. She literally wasn't even alive for some of these things. So let's all just go easy on her. Now, the first one is a bit of a redemption question. Okay. Because when we do this quiz with you, we're hoping that you're learning things. I'm retaining that information. Of course.
Starting point is 00:47:10 So the first question, I'm going to play some audio first. Spice Girls. Yeah, that's not the question, though, is it? Yeah, but I know that. The question is a redemption question. What are all five Spice Girls' nicknames? The same as last week. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:23 You got it wrong last week, didn't you. You got it wrong. So here's your chance to redeem. Have you learned? For those of Mr. You said happy spice. Stop stalling. No, I know it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Sporty spice. Scary spice. Baby spice, ginger spice and posh spice. Come on. She's got it. She's redeemed herself. She's learning.
Starting point is 00:47:43 She's learning. It's one from one. Next question. Another music-based question. Who sings this song? You know what? I'm loving angels instead. Huge pop star in the early 2000s?
Starting point is 00:48:04 I'm thinking Rachel Hunter's man, Rod Stewart. No, no, no, no, no, you're thinking that. But obviously not what she's going to say. Obviously, it's not that. And then, personally, that you knew Rachel Hunter and Rod Stewart were married. Damn it. I should have put a Rod Stewart question. Nickelback.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Oh, my God. Bella, Bella. It's Robbie Williams. Robbie Williams. Yeah, not Robin Williams. No, he's the guy in Mrs. Delphire, the movie you watched last week for the very first time. God, you come across so smart.
Starting point is 00:48:38 I am, just not in a million more things, yeah. Okay, question three. You'll get this one. What product is this commercial advertising? Fucker. Fucker me Okay I will say This is the most iconic ad
Starting point is 00:48:58 New Zealanders ever had I don't know about that It was controversial And they had to actually pull it Because people complained Pull the ad You just got to tell us What kind of thing it's selling
Starting point is 00:49:06 It's like Some sort of like Driving motor Yeah Car Yep car We'll give it to you You could have
Starting point is 00:49:13 You could just Carin's driving motor car We gave a driving motor car We are too soft We are too soft It was at one ad of the year many times over. It had like millions of views on YouTube. Is that the one where he drives over like anything and gets through anything?
Starting point is 00:49:29 Yes. Oh, I know it. Yeah, it kind of sound like a tractor, but I was like, can't be a tractor. She knows. Next question, you'll get this. You've got a brother, don't you? Yeah. Stop saying you'll get this and then she doesn't get it.
Starting point is 00:49:38 I know. It's so cool, babe. Planet 8 was a brand available at which men's clothing store? Planet 8. Gosh. I can only think of like Hellenstein's or... She's got it. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:49:51 God, was a guess? Wow. Okay. To get four so far, is it nervous now? To get four from five. Which is your highest ever so far? You've got four before, haven't you? Yeah, yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Name this TV show. Kyle, look, it's them. Get me back to my brother. She's got it. That's my one that my brother helped me with, just there. Not the hell of that. There's not a perfect score, but she's equaled her best. Four from five.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Yeah, but we also gave her driving motor thing, which arguably... This is a half point at best. Yeah, I'll take it. Well done, darling. Do you feel confident? I feel confident. I'm slightly nervous.
Starting point is 00:50:28 You shouldn't feel confident, but... Yeah, yeah. Well done. All right, thank you. We'll quiz you again next week as we continue to school you up on things that happen before you're born. Great.
Starting point is 00:50:38 I'll go to question. If she gets five out of five, does she get to do like a millennial quiz on us? I reckon. Yeah. Sure, if that ever happens. That'd be way more embarrassing. Yeah, that'll be happening in 2030.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Like, not knowing what's happening now in the world is more embarrassing than not knowing what's happened before you were born. Yeah, true. She'd be like, what does skibbony mean? I don't know. Clip, Megan Dan. All right, Christch, if you have ever been there before,
Starting point is 00:51:01 you live there, then we're taking your suggestions for our new Postcode playlist. Dan has put together many songs back in the day. Wellington, with Asher's help, by the way. You can beat it on a good day. Yes, when anybody's okay. What a voice. North Shore.
Starting point is 00:51:21 It's in Northland, but it's no... Ordealen helped and jumped on the chorus for that one. Dan Hamilton was all his baby. It's known for the farms and lots of firearms. You never walk home alone. It's the river running through it, and I have to admit it that most people own a bond. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:44 If you own a sheep or you milk a cow, and you have no place to go. It just makes me so cry Even when he's singing about having a bong It makes me cry Yeah, it's quite emotional Alright, well here's pivot Postcode playlist
Starting point is 00:52:00 From the tip of Cape Brianger Down to the Dirty Deep South of Bluff No town is safe This is Dan's Postcode playlist This week, Christchurch And I know you Christchurch Donians would come through Is that what you say
Starting point is 00:52:12 Because so many people have text through about stuff that happens in Christchurch And we know obviously Rickett and Wall I don't want to mention the earthquake You know what, let's not mention it Let's move, yeah Because Christchurch is more than that
Starting point is 00:52:25 It's more than what happened to it in its past Just like all of us and more than our past Yeah, I hope lives there She says we call it crime church Yeah, there's a lot of crime down there A lot of boy racists A lot of crime everywhere in the country Let's be honest
Starting point is 00:52:36 Yes Wait, what is with the running theme Of people in Christchers asking what high school they went to I reckon we've got 10 texts in the last three minutes Someone said, I haven't gone to school for 30 years Stop asking me what high school why we do, who cares? Well, I guess there's only a few in Christchurches,
Starting point is 00:52:51 maybe like three or four high schools. Surely not. And so you'd go, which one of the four were you at? Yeah, try and make connections. Oh, did you know my mate, Larry? He was always two years above you, crap. Yeah, okay, Kristen, what is your suggestion for the Postcode playlist Christchurch edition?
Starting point is 00:53:05 Kiyora. Kiyohra. You've got to mention Radio Ron. Now, is he one of the identities of Christchurch. Is he Radio Ron? Yes, Radio Ron is not his actual name. It's his given name. Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Okay. Yeah. What's, is he still alive? Is he still with him? Sadly, he passed away a few years ago. It would have been great to have a feature. He will forever be in the heart of Christchurch. Oh, beautiful.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Thank you. He will be in the song, Kristen. Thank you for suggesting it. Tracy, what school did you go to? You've been a person that's been saying that or had it said too many times? Had it said way too many times. Anyone who comes to Christ's church will be asked, what school did you go to? And no one really cares.
Starting point is 00:53:48 The funny thing is when I moved here 30-odd years ago and I was asked and I said, Tower College, which is in Wellington, and I got, the person walked away from me. Okay, wow, you're dead to them. As a resident, why are people asking this? Yeah, because we're getting so many texts with this concert. Another one just came through.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Yeah, like what are they hoping the answer will be? Yes. What's the correct answer? The big thing is that it comes from the class system, I reckon in Christchurch, that it's snobbery, and it comes down to our school zoning. So you've got Christchurch boys high school, school, Christchurch girls, Christ's college,
Starting point is 00:54:21 you know, same beads are sort of the high schools to go to. And if you don't go there, who cares? You know, it's just comes down to, you know, it's not so that people nowadays look at it like that, but it still is there. It's good intel, actually.
Starting point is 00:54:36 That would definitely make the song, Trace. You can tell a lot about the person from where they went to school, I guess. And Hayden, you've suggested some really obvious stuff like the wizard. He is at an identity as well. Yeah, so can I just start off by saying shout out to Rickon High School, where I went? Yeah, guys.
Starting point is 00:54:52 What did you go to? Rickin' in, come on. So for someone like me, he doesn't know what's the wizard? He's just a dude that dresses up like a wizard. Nice. And he used to be in Cathedral Square. Do you know Cathedral Square? Yep, yeah, that's where the cathedral is.
Starting point is 00:55:08 Yeah, so he'd be there and just like people would take photos with them and stuff like that. The council used to pay him? Yeah, I was going to say, would people give him money like he'd have a hat? Or was it just... The council paid him? He was very famous. Yeah, he was on the payroll. That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:55:22 He was honestly like, not even in Christchurch, like an iconic New Zealander. He's still with us, isn't he? But he's retired, I think. Yeah, yeah. I wonder how long you have to dress up as a wizard for before the council starts paying you to do it. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:55:37 Okay, so. Ages. Yeah. He's in the song. That the song needs to be a scribe song. A scribe from Christchurch? He is, yeah. How many do is you know
Starting point is 00:55:47 Matt's the only scrap song I'm going to open. Yeah. I mean, I usually do an original song, a fully original. I don't do a cover, but I think this this week, I might be going a little bit of an electric have thing. Okay. Because electric have, it's in Christchurch.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Makes sense? Okay. I'll keep the rest of the cards close to the chest, but Thursday this week. Christchurch, you're getting your postcode player. Watch this space. Clint, Megan, Dan. All righty, here we go.
Starting point is 00:56:19 If you can correctly identify a star in the right spot, $100 cash is yours. But if you can get the remaining three, you'll win a $45,000 spar pool. Here it is for you. It's getting hot in here. I love the specs from Todonger is called through. Now, you are, correct me if I'm wrong, running a spreadsheet. I am running a spreadsheet. That's what we need.
Starting point is 00:56:43 That is the commitment we need. And that's what we'd expect from you, Baks from Tohanga. That is exactly what we've come to expect from you, babe. She's good. Okay. What are your guesses for the unguessed stars in the spa? All right. So I'm just going to skip Billy in Avril,
Starting point is 00:56:58 just because we know where they go. So we've got Donald Trump. Okay. Followed by a Russell Crow. And then in the last one, I'm going Russell Crow again, because I think that was your clue. Okay. So you're thinking Russell Crow is in there in either the third or the fifth spot.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Okay. Okay. You got it, yeah. Bix, you have identified one new star in the three. Right. Get in. This is gone. A hundred dollars cash is yours and we only have two to go. Here he is, Russell Crow.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Were you hot yesterday? It sounded very hot, you know, the lights and the lights and stuff like it gets right, right? And the spider stopped. Yeah, you're right. And he goes, okay. Wow, see, it's very quick. Hot, hot. Here it is, one more time.
Starting point is 00:57:42 It's getting hot in here. And then him. Were you hot yesterday? I thought they're very hot. You know, the lights as the label's right, right? And the spider's stock. He's very sexy, isn't it? Strange voice doesn't in Russell Crow?
Starting point is 00:57:53 You hear it by itself. Commander of the armies of the north. Well done. And that clue that we had saying that one of the stars had been discussed on the show, he was discussed in the A-Lister list. Yes, last week. Of course.
Starting point is 00:58:06 And he was an A-Lister. Definitely a Lister. So, Bix, you have $100 cash and you've also narrowed it down, so there are only two. The stars remaining the second and fifth voice. If you can pick those, you've got a $45,000 spa ball. We've done.
Starting point is 00:58:23 Thank you, Rex. And it just goes to show you that working behind the scenes, putting together a spreadsheet, listening, pays off. Yes. I wonder if whoever wins the spa is going to invite Bix over to have a spa with her. I mean, she can call through her again. Why not? If she's making a spreadsheet, I mean, couldn't put past her.
Starting point is 00:58:42 She calls her like, hello. My name is Mr. Boone. My name is Tex. All right, hey, next on the show, what do you do if you find out that your partner's been doing the dirty on you? They've been cheating on you, and you find out.
Starting point is 00:58:58 But now, they don't know that you know. Oh, so you know. That they're cheating, but they don't know you know. I'll tell you what you've got there. Power. Yeah, it's true. That is the exact situation that this next listener of the show
Starting point is 00:59:11 has found herself in. She knows her partner's cheating. He doesn't know that she knows. Oh, my gosh. And we're going to chat to her next to find out how long she's known for, what her plan is if she even has one. How many times have they hung out with her knowing that he's... Is she plotting?
Starting point is 00:59:26 Is she spending this whole time just plotting the ultimate revenge? And if she hasn't, as a nation, we can help her do just that. Come on. What is the perfect amount of cheating revenge? Clint, megan, Dan. From happy news to sadder news, we got a text from Amy yesterday after the... show and we're like oh my god we need more information she's been with her boyfriend six months
Starting point is 00:59:49 and found out that he has been cheating on her but he doesn't know that she knows yet she texts morning amy good morning guys how are you good good babes how did you find out that your man's has been cheating on you yeah well it's it's not a massive scandalous story but the other day i just went to plug his phone in and i saw a message from a girl and obviously my heart just dropped because it was a when are we going to meet up with a little X and I was just like oh my gosh
Starting point is 01:00:22 there is no way I've spent six months on this man and he was going to do this to me and so obviously had to do a little bit more digging went over to Snapchat and saw a couple of saved messages and just them planning
Starting point is 01:00:36 to get together when he was next in town and you know do a few adult things so how long ago was this that you found out Yeah, how long have you known? A week, okay. Yeah, and did your stomach just drop? You know that feeling it's like someone like kicks you in the gut? Was it like a physical response?
Starting point is 01:00:54 Yeah, I just felt sick and I just didn't know what to do. How long, or how many times have you seen him face to face since knowing this information? About three. And what's your plan here? Because you've got the power, Amy, now. Obviously you've kind of got over the, the gut-reaching feeling of being cheated on. Now what?
Starting point is 01:01:18 Yeah, yeah, well, that's the thing. I'm not entirely sure what to do. So I was hoping you guys might be able to point me in the right direction or one of the listeners or someone who's experienced something like this before. First of all, I just want to ask, and this is the thing you always have to ask if your mate comes to you to have a bitch about their partner. Do you want to work through it and stay with them?
Starting point is 01:01:39 I don't think I can. Okay, great. Well, that's a good starting point. I don't think I want to be telling my children that, you know, my husband did all these things to me in our youth. And are you 100% sure that it is not an innocent thing, you know, like he's just chatting to a friend or? Absolutely, absolutely sure. Because I'd imagine if you're married, you've got a mortgage, you've got kids, then you've got a lot more to lose. You're six months in.
Starting point is 01:02:04 So I think it's one of those things you go. You should still be in the honeymoon phase. Yeah, like you're not living together, are you, Amy? Yeah. Oh, no, we're not. So it feels like an easy one to like cut and run. But with this information, I think some people, when they get scorned, they sit there and the longer they think, the crazier the thing that they come up with
Starting point is 01:02:23 for their cheating revenge. Yeah, we had someone that worked with my dad growing up that found out their partner was cheating. So they put really finely ground black pepper in all of his underwear and like really pushed it in so that every time he wore his underway, he'd get itchy balls. Oh my God, what a niche thing to do. I know, but so clever. Yeah. Because he'd be like, oh, so they'd just get a new pair of underwear,
Starting point is 01:02:44 but all of his underwear had been peppered. Okay, why do we do this, Amy? Why do we do this? We'll put you on hold. People can call through with what they've done with revenge after being cheated on. Yeah, you're right, Dan, because... But harmless revenge.
Starting point is 01:02:58 A bit of fun revenge. They'll ruin their life revenge. But there might be some people that thought at the time it was funny when they were hurt, and then afterwards they were like, I even realised now I went too far. Yes. And then they can warn you about where the line is It's a great call, Clinton.
Starting point is 01:03:12 And we're not going to push you into doing anything. We want our hands to be clean. But you know what? You could do whatever you want with this information and these ideas. Angela knows that our company owns a lot of billboards around New Zealand. They want us to show you a billboard and display all the screenshots. Amazing. How good.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Amazing. Okay. Hey, you hold there, Amy. We'll take some calls if you have ever been cheated on. And you found out before they were aware, how did you get cheating revenge? Someone's just text through Beef Wellington. Too far. Too far.
Starting point is 01:03:45 We just had Amy on. She's still sitting on hold at the moment listening to your suggestions because she found out her boyfriend of six months has been cheating on her. But he doesn't know that she knows he's been doing the dirty. So what does she do? What is the right amount of cheating revenge? Yeah, because there's a real mixed bag. There's a lot of texts coming through.
Starting point is 01:04:03 Some of them... Too far. Too far. Yeah, you are a vindictive bunch, Ed Fano. I ain't angry about it because some of these are very, very creative things I would never have thought of. I think the chia seed one is my favourite.
Starting point is 01:04:15 Yeah, putting chia seeds all through his carpet, then pouring water on them so they swell and stick. If you've ever had, like, my kid when he eats chia, those clothes, even when they go through the washer, it can't get the chia seeds off. I like this one, but I just, it's too long, Amy, to stay in a cheating relationship. But people say, wait until Christmas
Starting point is 01:04:32 and then give his parents a Christmas card with all the receipts. That other person said, wait. until his birthday, bake him a cake with laxative laced in it, then wait till he's on the toilet and break up with him. Lowest to the low. And he can't get up because he's got such bad diarrhea.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Hannah, you've called through. Have you been on the receiving end of this sort of situation before? Is your partner cheated? I haven't, luckily. Oh, but this is what you would do if they end up doing the dirty. Yes, this is what I would do. I would get a bottle of
Starting point is 01:05:04 fish oil spray and spray all over his car. and grab a whole bunch of glitter because we all know glitter does not go away and put it through all of his clothes, all of his bed sheets. Are you dating at the moment? I am. He will be listening at the moment as well. He's like never breaking up with that.
Starting point is 01:05:26 What if he does? He's going to move countries. Yeah. Okay, great suggestion, Hannah. Get Louise on. I want to hear from Louise. Louise? So you have done this?
Starting point is 01:05:36 Yes, I have. Okay, what did you do? I was a very petty 20-year-old when I was at university and I actually saw my boyfriend at the time across the internet cafe. He was with another girl and I took a photo of them and I printed it out and I sent it to his parents as their Christmas card. And inside, I hope you're more committed to your resolutions than your son was to me. Amazing.
Starting point is 01:06:04 That is so petty, Louise. in December when you called him cheating or did you sit on this information? It was. It was just before like the Christmas breakup and I actually got a text from his dad on Christmas Day being like I'm so sorry but I'm like disappointed but I'm not surprised
Starting point is 01:06:21 I'm just like hold on. God you but that must have been such a joyous thing to like put them in the mail you know and be like love that Louise. It was very very good now Shana I've just seen your one
Starting point is 01:06:35 and it involves an axe Now I'm a little bit worried Yeah Yeah So I was actually pregnant With his baby at the time Oh my gosh Yeah
Starting point is 01:06:50 And he was really Really drunk unconscious And I caught him in bed With this girl Oh my goodness She was fat than me And I was six months pregnant Okay
Starting point is 01:07:05 Okay Okay Shana Okay, all right. We need to go into the weight of the lady. I don't even know if I need to, if I should ask what you did with the axe? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, what did you do? So, I chopped up his TV and radio with the axe,
Starting point is 01:07:22 and then I poured those big black rubbish bags full of rubbish all for his car. Yeah, okay. That's fair. She was pregnant with his child. Taking to a TV with an axe is quite unhinged. Yeah, I mean, we don't condone ruining the rubbish. radio because that's how we make a living. The TV, that can go.
Starting point is 01:07:40 Are you on any TV shows anymore, Clint? No? No, not anymore. Chop up the TV. Yeah, that's fantastic. Wow. So there you go, Amy. If you're suspicious. I don't know if that helps you. I don't know if you own an axe, Amy. She's a bit speechless. Amy, I think the key is to go petty
Starting point is 01:07:58 rather than big. The petty thing seems, and like the annoying things, like the fish oil, the clipper. Somebody else is just saying, just show up to their next because if you're keeping an eye on his phone, his communication, the next time they show up, you'd just love to see his face when you walk over and go, hey, what are you guys doing and who's this?
Starting point is 01:08:15 You have to. And just watch him either lie to you or lie to her, and he might blow up his situation in both instances. Yeah, yeah. You could also do what Ashley has done and cut the gusset out of all his undies. That would do too well, a bit unhinged as well. Or super glue his gas cap shut in his car.
Starting point is 01:08:33 Yeah, just annoying things like that. Either way, babe, move on. and you know you're better off without him. Yeah, definitely, definitely. Good on your bag. Thanks, Amy. All right. Warriors fans, it's happening on Saturday out of the 30-year history.
Starting point is 01:08:50 This will only be the 11th time the Warriors have made the playoffs. We've only made the grand final twice, never won the competition. We are taking on four-time reigning champions the Penrith Panthers on Saturday night. And you may think we don't have a chance, but I'm about to get you amped up next. about how good our chances are of winning Saturday night against arguably the best in the cop. Come on, I'm fired up from that. And if we lose God help Clint, he's going to take to his TV with an axe.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Yes, we're a nightmare. At least. Clint, Meg and Dan. All right, everybody. Are you ready? Strap yourselves in. Did you see Sean Johnson, ex-New Zealand warrior, take to social media?
Starting point is 01:09:31 I saw him. And give us all a G up. Take a listen. ahead of the game on Saturday night against four-time reigning champions Penrith Panthers, who we have drawn in the first round. Warriors supporters, I'm talking to you. It's one thing I know is that this isn't guaranteed.
Starting point is 01:09:45 This doesn't come around often. Think about the 27 rounds that our team's just given us, okay? They've given us hope that something could be brewing right now. So whatever's happened up into this point, reset, sit in this moment, get your colours out, rep your team, and let's carry our boys as far as we can take him. Let's go. Let's go.
Starting point is 01:10:07 Octal wires, come on. Only the 11th time out of the 30 seasons that we have been a part of in the NRA. Chat GBT, GBT simulated the match 10,000 times factoring in form injuries, venue and past history and gave the Warriors a 25% chance of winning on Saturday night. Oh my goodness. Yeah, but like Shuan Oh, just said,
Starting point is 01:10:27 you've got to forget everything that's led us to this point. We've got to turn a new, fresh page. Fox Sports. are giving the Warriors a 13% chance of victory. Good. Bet 365 and TAB give the Warriors a 29% chance. Good. So on average, we have a 22% chance
Starting point is 01:10:45 according to the world of beating the four-time reigning champions the Penrith Panthers and going through the next round on Saturday. We should laugh in the face of those percentages. Here are things less likely to happen than the Warriors winning. Have you ever won a free ticket playing lotto? It's like, you've won a free ticket? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:59 Only a 3% chance of that happening, but it happened. People still buy tickets It's happened to me It's happened to you Yep Do you reckon you could roll a six If I gave you a dice ash Don't think so
Starting point is 01:11:08 Probably Yeah Only a 16.7 chance of that happening I'd take my chances I think yeah You wouldn't say there's no chance You could roll a six mate There's a chance
Starting point is 01:11:16 I say probably I wouldn't risk it Probably roll six You're gonna flip heads Three times in a row Yep Probably not Of course they could
Starting point is 01:11:23 Can you shut up too There's only a 12.5 chance of that happening Yeah I'm doing it though Have you ever Been randomly screened at an airport? Well, I am Middle Eastern, so most of the time. Only a 10% chance of that's happening.
Starting point is 01:11:36 The Warriors, more than twice, the chances of winning on Saturday night. The chance of your partner makes out with you today if you're married, randomly. Highly unlikely. Less chance than the Warriors winning on Saturday. The Warriors have a better chance at winning on Saturday than you getting a random I Love You text out of the blue from your partner, 15%. That's not 1%. And the Warriors have a better chance. better chance of winning on Saturday than
Starting point is 01:12:04 your partner bringing takeaways home for dinner instead of cooking tonight. That's 100% in our house because I do all the food. Oh, so it was a bad one then. Only about 17% of people will get takeaways. Is he being a bit negative? No, he's being positive. No, these are all the things that happen.
Starting point is 01:12:20 I don't think Dan understood that whole thing you just did. The whole point, Dan... It makes it sound like it's very unlikely. The point was like, these are all things that you think, yeah, those things will definitely happen to me. And there's more chance of the worries winning. Most of those things have never happened to be. Dan, have we got a dice? There's got to be a dice here somewhere.
Starting point is 01:12:38 Get Dan to roll the dice. No, we'll do this. We'll do this. I'm holding six fingers under the hand, under the table. Okay. Choose which number finger I'm holding up. The third one. Shut up. It is the third one because I was giving in the finger. The world may have ridden them off at only a 22% chance of winning Saturday night. But there are a things that are happening all the time.
Starting point is 01:13:03 Far less likely than 22% of the ones. Come on that. Saturday, let's go. You can do it! Too far. He's trying to be so masked. Clint, Megan, Dan.
Starting point is 01:13:23 The A-Lister list. Once a week, we fight it out and decide which three celebrities may deserve to be A-listers. Yeah, and if you've never listened to segment on our show before, welcome. I apologize for the words they're about to be spoken. We do love each other deeply and we are great friends
Starting point is 01:13:40 and we will be friends after this. But not for the next five minutes. But not for the next five minutes. We're brutal enemies. So today I've chosen sporting stars. And these are all very, very heavy hitters. And we do welcome your thoughts on this as well on the text machine 3343.
Starting point is 01:13:56 Offer is super passionate call us over the edge. Because ultimately the edge Fano decide. Of course. We We fight it out, but you guys are the ones who, inevitably, we take your calls, we do the maths, and we decide. This is your show. You know what? It shouldn't be called clip Megan Dan with Ash London. It should be called the listeners show.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Oh, yeah, cool. We can work on it. Yeah, you guys. All right, first up, tennis superstar, one of probably the most decorated female athletes on the planet. I think we're all going to agree. Serena Williams is an A-L day. Dan? The only tricky thing?
Starting point is 01:14:30 No, the only tricky thing that goes against her, I think it's the only thing, is she's got a twin sister. And so people get confused about which one's Serena, which one's Venus. Everyone knows Serena's the better one. I know, but they played the same sport and they look similar because of the sisters. But I would still say Serena Williams is an A-lister because she's the most famous female tennis player on the planet. Yes, she is.
Starting point is 01:14:51 I would just question if there are some pockets of the world that would know who Serena Williams. There is not a single person on the planet that everyone on the planet knows. Yeah, yeah. Are you saying that tennis isn't one of those sports where, like, everyone in, like, India and China have an idea about it. It's a huge sport, and us in New Zealand, of course, we would say she's an A-lister. But I'd go on a global scale. Serena Williams is a B-lister.
Starting point is 01:15:15 I don't understand all of what you said. Serena Williams. But what about if I, sorry, I'm going to throw a spanner in the works just to, like, fight you on that. What about Roger Federer? Same sport. Oh, you watch, she's going to give up an A because he said he asked to because he said it before. Also, the male tennis player who was the best in the world.
Starting point is 01:15:33 Is an A, but not the female. But the female one, is it? I'd put Roger in an A. Interesting. We will debate Serena Williams then. 3343 on text. 0800, the edge. Who's star number two?
Starting point is 01:15:46 This is an RIP. Kirby Bryant. A all day. Strong B. Shut up! He is in the conversation all the time about the greatest basketballer of all time. He's in every one.
Starting point is 01:15:59 one's top three. It's probably LeBron James, Michael Jordan, King Kobe Bryant. You might have Shaq in the mix. Shack A-lister. Michael Jordan A-lister. Kobe Bryant. Kobe is more famous than Shaq. Nope. I disagree. Shaquille O'Neal is a name.
Starting point is 01:16:15 It's iconic. Kobe Bryant is iconic. Same with Michael Jordan, but Kobe Bryant, no. He was pretty good. How upset the world, the entire world was at his passing showed the impact. I bet he had. Absolutely. Just playing a game of basketball.
Starting point is 01:16:32 He was lovely. He was a lovely man. And it's no shame to be in the B list. It's still pretty famous. Okay. Are you, sometimes I just think you're doing it to rock yourself. He's not up there with...
Starting point is 01:16:41 You don't think Kobe's an A? He reckons shack is more of an A than Kobe. He's not up there with your Beyonce's, with your JZ's, with your Brad Pitt's, with your Tom Cruise's. He's not. Kobe Bryant's not up there with that. We do need to just clarify a couple of people who texted through the vintes and Serena are sisters, but not twins.
Starting point is 01:16:57 Yeah. Moving on, okay, so we're. We're also debating Kobe, I suppose, somehow. But I know that this one, there is going to be no discussion. Tiger Woods is an... Hey. Okay, thank you so much. Okay, that feels good.
Starting point is 01:17:10 And only because his name's Tiger. If it was David Woods, it'd be a bit more confusing. Yeah, it could be right there, actually, Dan. But because his name's Tiger Woods. The only thing I agree with you on, I think, is that... He had a very unique name. We just got our very first sucker D down, come through on the text line. No, that's the second one today.
Starting point is 01:17:27 Okay, so Tiger Woods is off the table where we... We agree as a show, he's in A. Yeah. But we need to know. Serena Williams and Kobe Bryant and does Dan deserve to have to... There are like hundreds of texts coming through. I don't know how we're going to get through them.
Starting point is 01:17:42 And it's not because Kobe passed away. I think of anything that makes him better. Makes him more of an A lot. Because he's goaded in that way. But he's still not an A-lister in terms of worldwide fame. Yeah. And a text is just going to be, Kobe's an A, every time I throw something in a bin, it's always,
Starting point is 01:17:57 Kobe, even kids at school do this. But they don't know who they're talking about. They just go, Coopie. Did he need to do Space Jam or something for you? Like, was it any one more level? It was a good film. Okay, I went under the edge. Do you think Kobe and Serena Williams are supposed to be A-Listers or B-Listers?
Starting point is 01:18:14 Yeah. A-Lister list, who deserves to be at the top? Ash has just thrown out three names. The only one we could agree on was Tiger Woods. Yeah, I mean, I think all of them are A's, which is why I said. Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods, Serena Williams. And look, I think we're getting more text through on the text machine than we've had in months.
Starting point is 01:18:34 Yeah, there's a lot of passionate people. And for both sides as well. Hey, and this is actually brought William out of the woodwork for the very first time. For the first time. First time caller. William, welcome to the show, bro. Hello, hello. You're angry, William.
Starting point is 01:18:48 You're angry at me? Oh, Dan, come on, man. Come on. Everyone knows Kobe, man. It's a worldwide thing, man. And Serena Williams is one of the best female. tennis players, bro, like... I know. She was on the
Starting point is 01:19:03 Super Bowl. She was doing the creep walking. She was. She was. And she didn't even have to play tennis. We were just like, yo, it's Serena. Because she dated Drake. Yeah, everyone knew. Everyone knew. Everyone knew. I know, but the thing is, William, what you're forgetting is
Starting point is 01:19:17 we're in New Zealand and they are big here. But worldwide, on a world-class level, they're not your Beyonce. They're not, they're not the Barack Obama. They literally had a movie. They had a movie. made about their life and Will Smith ended up playing the dad
Starting point is 01:19:32 because their story is that famous Not a great film I watched Beyonce hasn't had a film made about her life Just saying Okay so William you'd just chuck in a moment I've had a couple We've chucked a couple documentaries for Kobe So I'd got to say he's up there with an A classer
Starting point is 01:19:50 Yeah I reckon if you've called most people That are over the age of 50 They wouldn't know who Kobe Bryant is Yeah well they also wouldn't know who you are saying Exactly well I'm not even featuring on anywhere near. James, what do you reckon? Are you team Dan on this? Or do you reckon Kobe Bryant and Serena Williams deserve an A-list status?
Starting point is 01:20:07 Oh, look, Dan, you're a dipshit, mate. Kobe's A-all-day. A-all-day. Let it out. He's A-all-day. What else do you want to say? I'm here. I'm open.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Oh, mate, I think you need to retire from this game. Yes. But someone's got a stick up. He needs to be penalised and he should be punished. No, but we don't want to dumb down the real A-list just by putting a Every text is coming through saying Serena and Kobe are both A-Lister's. Hall of Famer people are saying that when Kobe died, people were weeping in the streets. Someone else has said, I didn't even know who Kobe was until he died, B-Lister at most.
Starting point is 01:20:44 And he was a great rugby player. No, what is it? I'm joking. I'm joking. He was a great basketball player. He was. To be fair, Dan is really a sports guy. So if this was like musical theatre stars, he'd be like,
Starting point is 01:20:58 They are all ads. Yeah, so maybe it's his... Lin-Manuel Mawanda. It's his ignorance, maybe, James. Oh, huge ignorance. I just can't get over it. Oh, normally you get a little bit of a mix and you start having to look at the Texan going,
Starting point is 01:21:11 oh, okay, am I on the wrong side of the argument here? Damn, you really feel like you're out on your own island on this side. No, there's people that are texting through. Someone's just text through. None of them are A-listers. All four that we've thrown out today. No. Okay, well, let's find out from Kobe.
Starting point is 01:21:26 Kobe, what do you reckon? Yeah, you're definitely an A list All of fame, you know Yeah, but your name's Paper into the venue, you say Kobe Yeah, it's right, Dan Yeah That's right
Starting point is 01:21:37 Did your parents name you after him? Yeah, sure, why not? Yeah, yeah, yeah, cool If your parents were big fans back in the day Well, look, going on the texts Yes, we would have to bump him up to an A I'd get it
Starting point is 01:21:52 And what about Serena? Are you willing to admit it Or are we keeping her at a bead? Because ultimately we all have to agree. And if we can't agree, we can't agree, we can't agree. In terms of tears? Wait, so we can't agree. The lower ranking wins.
Starting point is 01:22:04 Oh, we just don't put them on the list at all. Okay. I can't have Serena. I can't denigrate her name. What if I told you? We can have Kobe or Serena. Okay. That's a compromise.
Starting point is 01:22:15 Oh, that's not. So the question becomes, who is more of an A-lister? Who is more famous Serena or Kobe? I would say Serena. In that situation, I have to say Serena. No, you've got to give it to Kobe. It's so easy. Kobe takes the A-list
Starting point is 01:22:28 that there's only one spot. Yeah, because basketball is so much more popular worldwide than tennis. Come on, Ash. Okay, it's up to you then because I'm saying Kobe. Dan's going to give Serena the spot.
Starting point is 01:22:37 Well, obviously I can't agree with Dan. I'm going to have to go with you. Okay, Kobe takes it. Serena gets bumped because there's only one spot left. I feel good about Kobe B. Yeah, okay, he's an A-lister. It's basketball.
Starting point is 01:22:49 It's probably the most watched sport on the planet. So I'll just have the final word here. Kobe Brian is an A-lister, but he's lucky to be there. Holy shit! You made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram
Starting point is 01:23:02 at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough, check out our only fans, podcast that is.
