This is a podcast from Rover.
If you're easily offended, keep listening.
We love a challenge.
This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
That's right.
The show you know is back with a bang.
Ugh, not like that.
It's the edge breakfast.
Clint Megan Dan 942.
Good morning.
It is 1 to 6 on your Thursday.
Good morning.
Good to be here Thursday already.
Yeah, I know right?
Oh my goodness.
Well, especially for Auckland is because you had Auckland anniversary.
So, short week.
And then Nelson Toe.
You're going into a long weekend with Monday off in there in Waitangi, so, mate, good time to be in Nelson.
Well, let's see what if you two is still one of the people.
What day is it also today?
29th of Jan.
Yes.
Yeah, no, what day is it today?
What day is it today?
What day is it today?
International Women's Day.
No.
Anniversary?
No?
Okay, good.
Okay.
Ah, classic.
Too big for your boots.
It's payday.
You guys don't even realize when the money comes in.
Money in, money straight out.
Money out.
It goes straight into another account.
Yeah.
To pay for the...
Clint gets his Tesla paid off.
He's paid for his pool.
You know, that's sort of stuff.
Yeah.
Money in and then pay off all the debt.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, mine just goes to my wife.
Yeah, yeah, you're like, I don't know what payday.
My payday is when she gives me our allowance.
What is she doing with that, buddy, is the question?
Yeah, I'm not waiting to him 65 to spend my money.
Yeah, we've said that.
I don't even know if I'll make it that far.
Live fast die young, eh, that's your motto.
They say, especially on the track.
Which Dan and I were on yesterday.
We'll bring you some of the highlights at 7 o'clock with the race that we had yesterday.
To be honest, if you keep driving like you were yesterday, we'll die young.
He was so close to the uncle.
Really?
He was going to take himself out.
I didn't get to see this boy, so I'm excited to hear how it went.
Got our 6am throwback.
I've got a suggestion.
There's no real topical tie.
and it was just an absolute banger
that I heard you sit down on the edge
and I was like, yeah, we should be starting the show with that.
So 3-3-4-3 if you've got a suggestion.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
I ran on the edge.
Did you this morning, Dan?
Because I know you're trying to start a New Year's resolution.
I didn't this morning, no.
Or yesterday.
No, two days in a row.
But I will be back into it tomorrow, the running.
It is hard at 4 a.m. in the morning, that's all I'll say.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, that's why most people don't do it.
I know.
I know.
Yeah, actually, I saw a chick this morning,
and she was out exercising, you know,
like 5 a.m.
But she was walking very slowly.
And she looked like she'd be in her late 20s.
And I was like, I mean, unless her house was very,
like the next three or four hours
and she was warming down.
But I was like, if you're going to get up at that time,
you're going to exercise.
I don't know if that's doing anything.
Oh, you warm down for like a kilometre.
I do.
But even if walking, walking's better than no walking.
Maybe I would say the only way that that would make sense to me
is if she had a full-seated desk position between 9 and 5.
And she's like, if I'm going to get my steps in,
get them done in the morning.
It is, it makes me laugh at the gym
and you just look around
and like five, six, seven people
that are all just sitting there on their phone,
just sitting on machines on their phone.
I'm like, you're here to work out, man,
put your phone down, do a super set.
I don't know, do something.
Super set.
I mean, that sounds like something from Dragon Ball Z.
Super set.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
Just drop your weights to the lighter,
but you can do more reps,
so then at least you're getting some sort of cardio
and weight.
I don't know, there's a lot of people on their phones.
and I'm just like, Clint's sitting at his gym going,
Come me!
All right, us versus the playlist, 6am throwback.
Jim Melia, I don't think is it this morning.
Nah, this only reminds me as Sing Star and Sing Star only.
Yeah, right?
Yeah, Clint, you've got an idea of what you want to push, your song, your agenda.
Yeah.
Classic, Clint.
But before you do that, a couple of birthdays and a couple of big things today.
So Rag and Bone Man, born in 1985, which makes him 40.
Yeah, today.
Well, no, it would be 41.
41 today.
Okay, gosh.
He kind of had a bit of a fizzle, didn't he?
He was sort of a flash in the pan, really, wasn't he?
Pretty good live.
Back in 2017.
Really good voice live.
And the other one was this day in 2009,
Kelly Clarkson went to number one with her song,
My Life Would Suck Without You.
Or we did a bit of a deep dive on these guys
and what they're up to at the moment
after they played on the edge
during a throwback threesome yesterday,
which you may have missed.
early, you're probably still not listening at night.
In Australia at the moment.
$92, Meg Zed.
$92 to go.
Which is pretty good considering these days
it's hard pressed to find anyone that's selling
tickets for under $100. If you want
the cheapest ticket, I'm going to get into this
in Scandal, the cheapest ticket
at Harry Stiles, a seated, cheapest
so probably pretty bad view. In London
is $100.00.
Crazy, and that's £100. No, $100.
Oh, okay.
$100. But I don't know how good the
sending is, but if you pay $8
dollars less. Hot Shale Ray, baby.
At least there's more hits than Hot Shale Ray have.
That's their song.
And then they'd have an unknown stuff.
She's a banger.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
They also have another song that was guys, Tonight.
You remember that one?
Because people were saying, oh, they're one hit wonders.
No, no, no. They also had this banger.
But outside of that year, they'd probably start struggling, I think, after a couple of tunes.
Ah, la, la.
Good impression.
Tonight.
Get a good.
For their set.
Yeah, they'd book in the show, right?
They'd open with one of these, the red ones,
and then they'd close with the other one.
Tonight!
If they didn't do one of those songs and they did some of their new stuff,
you'd be here, man.
I think we're in the room with hot chalray.
Well, definitely we're in the room with hot.
I don't know about chelray, mate.
I'll take it.
I'll take it, that's all right.
What's been going on in the lives of Clinghameg and Dan?
Coffee.
Come on, Meg.
I know, it looked like you're about to pull a memory.
Yeah, I am.
I don't think much happened to me yesterday, boys, I don't think.
Well, we're going to talk about it a lot during the show today.
Clint and I went go-karting.
Yeah, they look, like, a lot of fun.
I actually think I missed out a bit there.
I thought it was just going to be watching you, you boys.
But look, the whole team got to go around.
I had a bit of FOMO.
It all stems because Clint's good at everything,
and we thought we'd challenge him to the things we're good at.
I'm starting this week.
Dan is winning this one.
This is going to be your moment, and I'm so excited.
Yeah, well, I, look, he was really bloody slow yesterday when we're racing.
So I'm hoping he isn't doing that thing.
You know where Clint does where he's like just trying to throw me off my game?
Yeah, he's actually faking how bad it is.
Right, Clint?
I will say, I don't want to mention anything yesterday.
Because I actually didn't know, you know, this was going to happen.
But I have a secret weapon.
No, are you cheating again?
No, no, no.
It's not cheating.
But I have a secret weapon that I think will give me a mental edge against Dan
that will all become clear when we go back to the track for race day.
What do you mean?
after the show today, and then we'll be bringing you the results Friday.
But I've got a cigarette weapon.
To be fair, I didn't go looking for it, fell on my lap.
And I went...
Oh, of course it didn't.
I went, huh?
That could actually work out quite well in my favour.
What does it always happen to you?
But this is the thing with Clip.
He always has to have something up his sleeve, don't he?
Oh, yeah.
And quite often he doesn't have sleeves, which is confusing.
I know.
When is the fact today he's working a singlet?
What does he pull it from?
Nothing on my sleeve.
They don't call me the magician.
No. Yes, Carl.
Yeah, my dealer just got back to me about your secret weapon.
He wants to know if you want pipe or powder.
No, no, no, no, no.
It can't be.
I knew he would be using performance-enhanceding drugs.
Yeah, yeah.
I didn't actually...
I don't think Viagra does anything for your driving.
Pipe then.
I ended up going back to my car before our practice yesterday.
When I came back, Tang goes, where have you gone?
What did you do?
Why were you in the car?
I just don't trust him.
I just don't trust him.
taking brain work out? What did you do?
I was like, Dad, I just put some stuff in my car, man, chill, you're so...
Anyway.
Gitchy at the moment.
Yeah, Dad, I see you haven't dressed up for it either.
That's the other thing that's pissed me off.
I'm kidded out in full Ferrari gear.
Hat, shirt, shoes.
Clint turns up in his normal attire.
Now I look like I'm a member of the Bloods.
No, you don't.
I don't know if you've seen a gang member, but you don't look like a member of the Bloods.
I'm full red.
You know, I went to go grab my Ferrari jacket.
And I literally went, as I was making breakfast
I went back into my room
and I was like going through my wardrobe
and then I was like, what am I doing?
I was like, we don't race for Ferrari.
We're just getting in go-karts for three laps.
I don't want to look like a loser.
Oh, sure.
Oh, right.
I mean, I try to you text your buddy.
Damn it.
I was smiling as I was putting this on.
Full Ferrari gear like he's an intern for Ferrari
and they're paying him in merch.
I literally put this on and went,
oh, just to be fun,
put a bit of camaraderie.
between Clint and I.
The Ferrari boys?
He's going down.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Let's go.
First call of the day.
First call on the day.
Oh, the person is Nicky this morning.
Some facts about Nikki.
Her nickname is Molly.
Wonder why.
Nicky.
Nauty Nikki.
That's Clint's nickname, too.
Yeah, she's nickname.
Nikki has three kids,
three kids and a husband?
No, three husbands and a kid.
That's wrong.
Three kids and a husband.
Five cats.
Five cats.
Oh, you're a crazy cat lady.
Should we all take one guess of a cat's name and see if anyone's gay?
Misty.
Oh, that's good.
That was my cat's name.
Damn it, that's good.
What's it?
Yeah.
I'm going to go Spiro.
Oh, I'm going to go, five cats, three kids.
There'll be a really basic name in there.
Tinkerbell.
Mrs. Fluffykins.
Oh, you know, because one of the kids would have named it just like, kitty cat.
Oh, Tinkerbell.
Damn.
Yeah, or Tinkerbell.
We'll put an extra Tinkerbell in there.
Go on.
Any of us close, Nikki?
Oh, I've got a Kiki.
Oh, like the drink song.
Yeah, what are the other names?
Simba.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
Alley.
It's close to Misty, actually.
I think I'll take a win for that.
Nikki, what was I going to?
Oh, are you going to Electric Ave?
You're in Croceurch, eh?
Yeah, I'd love to go, but no, I'm not going.
You need to listen to two Harry-style songs.
back to back on the edge and then you can get yourself on the guest list if Ashland calls you back after 3 o'clock that's probably the only way with Heineken Silver at the moment.
I've got one more question for you, Nikki. I hear that you think you're a good singer when you're drinking but you've been told by others that you suck. Do you want to do a little ditty and Dan will be able to tell you if you're good or not?
Yeah, sing us your favourite song. Nickyham all to see.
No, she's going to pass there.
I knew she would. I knew she would.
It's been a lovely chat to you, Nikki.
Really lovely.
Awesome.
Are you all there?
We've got a voucher to send you.
Thanks to our show sponsors, Ed, so you can go spend that however you like over the next week while.
Awesome, thank you very much.
You're welcome.
We've got so many things we're giving away at the moment.
I am getting all mixed up.
If you hear too Harry Stiles songs, you get VIP access and a flyaway to Harry Stiles.
That makes sense.
Wait, wait, you go on the drawer, right, or do you get it?
Yeah, you're going to draw.
You get in the drawer.
You get in the drawer because I heard Ashland and say that yesterday, too, I'm like, surely it's a drawer.
It's a draw, right?
And then Hineken Silver are getting you to Electric Ave, which is sold out, which you need to listen out to the festy, besty cue to call.
So, sorry, there's lots of things going on, lots of giveaways, and I've kind of merged those two to get up.
Fair enough, Clint.
You're confused, you're rattled today because we're having a big go-cut race.
You're scared.
I get it.
I was going to say it's not good enough, but I mean, yeah.
I'm sorry.
No, actually, that's not good enough, Clint.
We've got a schedule coming up next.
Speaking of Harry Styles, if you're not going to be able to get there,
the tickets have been going on pre-sale,
and people have been waiting for hours to get through the queue.
I had a friend sit at 33,000th.
Wow.
They reckon you're not supposed to refresh, eh,
because then you can lose your place.
Well, that's what happened at Taylor, eh?
People were refreshing, and then they were going right to the back of the queue.
I've got the prices of Harry's tickets.
I want to know what you boys think,
if it's fair or not fair,
where he's sitting at is one of the biggest artists in the world,
right now, we'll go through the next.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
She's scandal with Meg.
Harry Stiles is getting ripped shreds by his fans
and also not fans, Liam Gallagher, sorry.
Gallagher, sorry?
No, Gallagher.
Is it Gallagher?
Oh my God, thank God.
From Oasis has been blown away by Harry Stiles' tickets
and said it shows that maybe they weren't exorbitant
in their day when they sold tickets.
But Harry tickets in London, Wembley,
range from, and I've made it in New Zealand dollars.
I'm glad to that?
Thank you, Meg.
Oh, you're welcome.
Seats, $100 to $1,065 for seated.
But that's the range.
What'd you say?
$100 up to $1,065.
Jeez, what are the difference in the seat?
I reckon the $100 ones, you're like behind the stage almost.
Yeah, one of those obstructed views.
Sort of pile on in the front.
Yes, this is all in New Zealand dollars.
Stand is standing, sorry, standing tickets.
$329 is the cheapest that you'll get at Harris.
Stiles, London, and it goes up to $637 for standing.
So there must be, like, sections.
I remember when I went to Harry last time,
there was standing, but it was like at the back of the stadium.
That is wild, man.
That is expensive.
Like, that is unaffordable.
And then VIP, $1,69, up to $1,656 in New Zealand in London.
And the most expensive ticket you can get for Harry Styles is if you went VIP in New York,
that's $2,764 for a VIP ticket.
ticket one to Harry, which is honestly a little bit less than my car.
A little bit less than my toy is crazy.
Also the pressure as well to give people an experience that is worthy of their $400.
That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
Because I know everybody knows how much I love Taylor Swift and everyone rolls their eyes and
say about her.
But she gave a three-hour show with the backup dancers, with all the production, with all the
dresses.
And you saw Sabrina Carpenter as well.
You got to see Sabrina Carpenter for the, for the,
and she'd normally bring somebody on stage.
But if she didn't, it was still a three-hour show.
So what is Harry going to do that justifies the same,
if not more expensive ticket prices?
Because with Taylor, you'd sit down and go, okay, 329.
And her ticket prices range from, I think, about 200 and something up.
But 3-29, you go, okay, but it's three hours.
And it's a full...
But what's Ari going to do for three hours?
It's not going to be that long.
Well, here's the thing.
If you've got kids, 10, 12-year-olds, okay?
You've got two of them.
And average family.
Mom and dad are going.
you're taking the two kids.
That's nearly two grand for a night out
to go and see Harry Stiles.
That is unaffordable for most,
and I'm saying most families.
And as parents as well,
we all know how much,
especially if they're your kids' favourite artists,
what you'll do to make them happy
if you know that this is their favourite person.
What's the threshold for you
for what is considered an expensive ticket?
For like a Harry Style.
Honestly, I think I'm out of touch.
I would say if I was like,
right, I'm going to go to this concert
and I started logging on, if it started at 150, I'd be like, holy moly.
Because I'm never going by myself, so that's $300 with one other person.
150, I think, is a good starting price.
Nowadays, anything north of $250, I think, is steep.
I think artists now you need to expect to be paying around $150 to $200 a ticket.
It's like standard.
I know.
So north of $250 seems expensive for me now.
So when Harry, I went back and looked, when he went to Wembley Stadium, so London, in 2022, his last concert, which he came to New Zealand for, those tickets were $107 to $226.
So they have gone up a lot.
And he's done nothing in four years.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, we haven't even heard the album, have we?
No.
So that's why people are upset, I think.
They kind of go, well, it's not like you had an album last year and it's huge.
And it's not like you've said, I'm doing my whole year is.
I'm doing a tour of all my albums.
and then you sit there and go, okay, I kind of know what I'm going to get for this.
Maybe if you starve people of your time for that long,
they're willing to pay that kind of money.
But you don't need to spend that because we're sending you for free VIP, baby.
That we are, Dan.
All you have to do is...
Listen out for two.
Songs, Harry Style songs, back to back,
and you get yourself on the guest list,
and then hopefully Ash London calls you back
and lets you know that you're going to Sydney.
It's all thanks to OUSA.
It's not Otago without ORI.
Head to Otago, Rai.com, nz.
It's scandalous, but not the tickets.
They didn't buy the tickets, but they kind of made it sound like they, it doesn't matter.
You could have just got away with that, but anyway.
They would have liked that.
Hey, naughty 640 up next.
But not naughty sexy.
Nauty, like, naughty boy.
You could be in trouble for that.
You belong in prison, naughty.
Yeah.
Did you see the video going around of the dude who jumped in,
effectively like a big water feature,
mini swimming pool at New Markets Westfield?
Yeah, it's my favourite mall and this pissed me off.
Did it?
Yeah.
I'm such an old booming now.
Yeah, we speak to the guy who lost the bet, supposedly,
and had to jump in and go for a swim in it in his undies.
Clint Megan Dan.
We're going to talk to 404.
Luca, who's got a bit of attention at the moment online.
Over 1.5 million views on the video that he posted,
swimming laps in a rooftop water feature in an Auckland mall,
if you've ever been to New Market, Westfield.
You all know the one we're talking about.
Dan's done a bunch of silly things like this in the past
when he tried to go skinny dipping.
Oh, click.
You've got the funny top.
What are you on your pool?
What he's doing?
I'm on top of the pool cover.
Damn, forgot to take the pool cover off.
And he's jumped in fountains and stuff before.
But I guess this one, some people are a little bit more annoyed about Lucas,
saying you're being a silly bugger and you shouldn't be disrupting the piece or whatever their argument might be.
Morning, bro.
Oh, good, good.
So what made you do it?
Westfield Mall, it's big, there's a big fountain at the top glass, and then it goes through
to the floor below where people can see you swimming from below.
What made you do it?
Yeah, I was just a little bit of a random one, eh?
We were just at the mall the day before filming a different video and saw the water and had a little
bit of, you know, saw the vision.
Oh, we've all had the thought.
I've looked at and gone, ah, that'd be nice, but.
Yeah, especially on a hot day.
but what made you do it?
Was it a deer?
Was there a wager?
No, not really, bro.
Like, I just realized that I was a bit nervous
a little bit at first.
Like, well, when I was going there,
then I realized, you know,
I listened to my own words about the,
no one cares, and then really no one cares.
Yeah, but no, but, look,
they do care.
You maybe didn't care,
but, I mean, the fact that it's hit the news
that shows that that's wrong
and people do very much so care
about doing things.
Some people are laughing.
Yeah,
No, most people are alright with it.
You know, there's the odd hater or that, but, you know.
But with it, no repercussions?
Like, you haven't been, like, banned from New Market, Westfield?
Not of yet, but we just left straight away.
I've got the manager on the line right now.
Correct me if I'm Ron, Luca.
Are you the same person that scaled up the Harbour Bridge in Auckland
and jumped off the side of that and gotten a lot of trouble?
That would be me.
So people do care.
That's what I mean about.
How much trouble did you get in for jumping off the Harbour Bridge?
Oh, you know, not that much.
Actually, we had a chat with the police and they were pretty cool about it.
Oh, that's cool.
They said we saw the operation and they said we had a pretty down fact and it looked like we knew what we were doing.
Do you have a mum or a dad?
I do.
And what do they think?
You know, you could imagine it.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, I just didn't know.
I thought they might have been like, hey, good on you for like.
No, but at least your mum and dad can never say when I was a kid,
well, if your friend jumps off the bridge, would you jump off the harbour bridge?
And you'd be like, done that already, mum, actually.
Have you got any ideas of what you can do next, Luca?
Are you going to keep it underwrapped?
Yeah, we have good ideas coming this year.
He has not learned his lesson, and I fear us putting them on the edge is, at least.
Well, if you want to follow him at city.
Slickers on Instagram and see what Luke.
Skytowers your next one, I reckon, climbing up the side of it.
No, we're keeping it all legal.
We're going to keep it friendly, you know.
Oh, good, good.
I've always wondered, what is the temp of the water in the Newmarket Westfield water feature?
Clint wants to know to say you can do it.
Oh, it's not too bad.
I wasn't really thinking about the temperature.
I was just more looking around, you know, looking all the people.
Pretty cool up there.
I mean, yeah, well, yeah, I guess that you opened your eyes and look down.
That would have been spooky.
I actually, I was wearing a little bit of a mask, hey.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, it's okay.
Oh, yeah.
How long did you?
your anonymity.
How long did you spend in the water, do you think,
from getting into getting out?
I did the whole latte.
The video doesn't show the whole video,
but I swam from one side to the other
to about 25 years maybe.
Oh, good on you.
And no one said anything.
No one came out to you and be like,
get out of the pool, you're skellywags.
Nah, I actually, like, when I hopped out,
I kind of landed on a couple of cable
and they were laughing at me,
but I was just explained I had to do it,
and I was it.
Oh, man, I'm going to give you a follow.
City Slickers on Instagram.
Yeah, give us a follow.
Go on, go on, say it.
It'll be the best thing you do, mate.
Okay.
You can hand on heart say it will be the best thing you do.
I know you've heard it from your mum, but just keep it friendly, keep it safe.
That's all.
Yeah, we will.
Yeah, good man.
When I'm on my deathbed, I'm going to go,
the best thing I ever did was follow city slickers on Instagram.
And just remember.
You hear to hear first.
No one cares.
No, people care.
No, Lucas. Get out there. Get out to have fun.
No one cares.
No one ever cares.
Thanks, Luca.
Thanks, Luca.
Hey, look, bro. Love the energy, mate.
Stay out of trouble.
Yeah, basically.
Oh, it'll be 19 again.
18, yeah, yeah.
Far up.
Oh, I better hurry up and follow him.
She's, I don't want to miss out.
It'll be the best thing I ever do.
Clint. Clint, Megan, Dan.
If this is the only part of the show you get to listen to,
who, who, what a time to tune in to Edgebreak us.
I'm very excited for this.
I must be honest, boys.
I'm very, very excited.
I know I'm going to get the rip to shreds.
Can you both promise me that if what I have done is good,
that you'll at least sit there and go, actually, Meg, you're right.
We won't internally go, that was really impressive,
but say it sucks to be fine.
You won't try us, but yeah, I'll say it.
Okay, I think this is going to be a major flop,
but I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Now, yesterday on the show, once we'd wrap things up,
we were about to start recording our Onlyfans podcast,
which sits alongside our show Recap podcast
and we can do whatever on there
the rules are a bit different
and while we're faffing around
and getting ready to record
our mics were on and so we captured this moment
where Meg did a laugh
she was laughing at something
probably something I said
Dan and I missed the laugh
but this is the conversation that ensued after
Oh my God
can we call, take that off
are we recording?
That was exactly the laugh
before Spice Girls song
Wanna Be I just did it
I just did it.
That was crazy.
Yo, I'll tell you, that was crazy.
Guys, I did the exact laugh.
Tomorrow we line up Meg's laugh with the laugh that she thinks it is,
and then we see, but she's not allowed to pre-laws.
It was a little bit off at the end.
It was exactly the same at the start.
No, now I've lost it.
She's lost it.
Okay, this is laughing.
Now, the end, I will admit, it wasn't right, but the start was on.
No, that's not you, Meg.
That's the spice girl.
Beg got to look, side.
Now, can I say I'm with Clint on this?
I reckon it's nowhere near.
Okay.
And I haven't heard it back, but I reckon it's nowhere near.
Okay.
But that's the laugh we're talking about.
Okay, play it again.
Play it again.
No, again, not you, Meg.
Stop getting so excited like I'm playing.
That was it.
You, okay.
Clint.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Okay, do you want a drum roll?
I think we need one.
Yes, we need a drum roll.
Okay.
Oh, who's taking mind?
There it is.
Okay, here we go.
It's about to hear the laugh.
mecton yesterday.
It's not like it.
It's not exactly the same.
It's not like it.
Yo!
Come on!
Yo!
Yeah.
Babe.
The only thing is the duration is similar.
And that you're both laughing.
Yeah.
Which is an eaves.
The laugh was actually a lot longer.
I just cut it to the right length.
I just don't even the same.
Can we take it out and put it at the front of the song
and see if you can know this is the difference?
Oh, have you got time, names?
Not too much.
Aver, will it make you happy if we do it?
Well, yeah.
Well, then, okay.
Come on!
I don't think...
Are we waiting for it?
No.
We can put it on the podcast.
I can hit it in a couple of seconds, car?
Shall we change it in the system
so every time it plays on a throwback Thursday,
it's with Meg's laugh?
We did that once with the Lady Gaga song,
Rain on Me, where I did the spoken part,
and I still sometimes get caught out thinking it's me.
Oh, you do?
You think it's used to because it was that close.
It was that close, yeah.
You've got a high view of yourself, don't you?
You're hearing things different to how other people are hearing it.
Okay, it's ready, let's hear it.
Okay, have you got it?
He's dropping it in, here it is.
Okay.
Meg's laugh with despise girls.
Yos!
I've been it sort of parsible, I guess.
Encore?
Encore.
Yos!
It's bang on 7 o'clock.
Your chance to play for a grand in the hand.
Just give us 10 answers, starting with the lead me.
Gives you inside 30 seconds and the cash is yours.
Chrissy's playing this morning.
It is, Chrissy.
Morning, Chrissy.
Good morning.
Hey, Chrissy, what did you?
Now I'm nervous.
Really?
Hey, don't be nervous.
It's just you and hundreds of thousands of people listening to you.
Try and win $1,000.
Okay, Christy.
It's a good one today because it is the same.
letter is your first name. Kay? Okay. Is it Chrissy with a K? Oh no, it's C. But we'll go
Oh, damn it. Come on, Meg. She's already nervous. That's K. You know, you sound like a lovely
person, Chrissy. I believe in you today. You can do this. Here we go.
Thank you. Chrissy, name one of the Kardashians.
Something you'd find in the fridge.
Ketch up. A female musician.
Charlie Minogue
A chocolate bar
Oh my goodness
Pass
A retailer
Okay Matt
Something you might see at the beach
Pass
An occupation
Oh damn
That was tricky
I want to beat yourself up
That was a tricky one
I think Kit Kat might have come to mind quickly
What else was that
Kid Kat Katz
Kidna
Kidna no
What's at the beach
Though I blinked as well with Chrissy
Oh the beach
You might see the beach
Coyette kids kites
Kites
Kites
You know, I blanked on the same ones as you.
Too early, too early, Chrissy.
You've got to call it eight, I reckon the brain's more awake.
Yeah, I think so too.
Good try, Chrissy, thank you.
Yeah, thanks for playing back again at 8 o'clock
if you want to have a crack it out of next though.
Yeah, the boys have had their practice round before the big competition.
Will Dan finally beat Clint off at something?
No, just beat.
Pardon?
Just beat at something.
He won't beat.
Will Dan finally Clint beat off?
No, Megan.
You know what you did.
That's what happened to the end of the race.
Clint Megan Dan.
The helmets.
Dan looks like he's a promo boy for Ferrari.
He's in his gears.
Actually, I will get a photo up on our Edd Breakfast Instagram stories.
Just you can see how much of a loser he looks.
I've got all my Ferrari Lewis Hamilton merch on today.
Get a cap, shirt, shoes.
The only loser will be the one who comes in slower than the other on race day tomorrow.
Lewis Hamilton, has he actually raced the track that we're racing at?
Because...
Lewis Hamilton, no.
Because his time is on the leaderboard.
Producer Carl.
He has raced at that and he holds the second best time on that track.
Lewis Hamilton's been there.
Yeah.
Really?
There's a scoreboard.
Is he the Kiwi one?
No.
One that you're in love with.
Lawson.
Lawson has.
They would have just taken his time off like a different track right of what he could do.
Yeah, well as long as he's doing the same track or as a simulator or something
because on their website, there's a 13-year-old with the fastest time,
because he weighs like 25 kilos.
But Lewis Hamilton has the second fastest time
on that track at Ace Motorsport Carts.
That's crazy if he's been there.
That's incredible.
But this all stems from Clint being good at everything.
So Meg and I are challenging me this week with go-karting.
I used to do it as a kid.
I haven't done it for years.
Meg, your next week.
But yesterday we went, and I will say this,
we went for a practice session.
We were there for an hour.
I am feeling much more confident now than I was yesterday.
Same.
Good. Good.
Because I honestly think you were driving like a grandma.
true. Clint, that's not true. You were not
feeling confident at all, actually. Don't worry
Dan. Dan. You rattled him.
You rattled him. No, take it listen. This was
Dan was quick, right
from the get-go, actually. We're just filling
out the form, and Dan is
very fast at that, because I'm halfway through it
and he's done. It didn't ask for his day to birth
or anything, producer Carl, because
Dan has already registered because he's already
raced here before. Oh, he's
been getting secret practices.
Maybe he should have challenged you at filling out
forms.
Now I don't see what that looks like
But I think I must have just been to another track
That uses the same system
They all use the same
Then we weighed in just to see who had the advantage
Oh, those scales have to be out
This is a 95 and a half kilo
No
Not the last of my cheats
Although I didn't weigh myself over summer
No
I'm even heavier
98 kilos
You're as a buck
You must have a full
100
That'd be a woman's worst nightmare
I weighing in before
Yeah
So you can't raise it unnecessary.
And also the fact if the scales are wrong, that's a nightmare.
But, okay, so you're still feeling good both of you at this day?
Yeah, and then this was Dan.
On track, I've got audio of his review of me.
There we go, look at it.
He's fast.
And that's all we've got time for.
Thank you.
I did a lot of commentary on the day.
I was trying to say, that's the thing.
I was driving the fastest.
Well, after we pulled out, I guess,
and we'd spent the first 10 minutes going around around around,
We had, we'd sized each other up a little bit.
What did it feel like to you?
Well, I just thought I'd go out like 50% and then...
Oh, were you going 100%?
Nah, probably 40.
Oh, right.
At times it looked like 40, if I'm honest.
Yeah, yeah, I was a bit interested that you were going pretty snow.
Yeah, dangle a little bit cocky.
What did you say?
I'm not a professional.
I haven't really done it before.
I've been to a couple of go-k car.
I used to obviously go-kart when I was a kid,
But yeah, that felt just sort of like I was back in my old hunting days, you know.
Isn't that sad Meg that Dan peaked at 11?
Yeah, I quite often look back at that.
For what I can hear, it does sound like Dan was faster Clint.
Oh, I was using my practice session to run a few different lines.
And obviously, when you're practicing, you're trying things,
it's not always going to be the right thing, but it tells you don't do that again because that doesn't make you quicker.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The thing is, we had Laura on the phone.
She had to put her money behind one of us, or one of us, if she wins, if we win, sorry, she gets the money.
She put her back into me.
I think that was the right thing to do.
What is that?
I think it was the right thing to do.
Dan, you got him shaking in his little.
He is shaking.
He is shaking.
He seems nervous.
Have a listen to the private voice message he sent me yesterday.
Oh, you dog.
Dan is quick.
Not just in the bedroom, it seems.
I still think I've got a fighting chance.
I got much quicker on the second time round.
I'm genuinely a little bit concerned
at my chances of beating Dan
huh
I don't know what this feeling is
I don't love it
yeah that's self-doubt Clint
welcome to my world
self-doubt isn't it
yeah the thing is though I reckon there's something
he's got something up that sleeve of us
there are no sleeves I know the figurative sleeve
I'm trying to cut my weight
I might do it shirtless
and he'll go he'll go
do anything to win.
Okay, I want to know, 0800 the Edge,
who else has already peaked in life?
Dan just kept...
That's not what we're doing here.
He's trying to get in my head.
Absolutely bad.
Dan just kept talking about I used to go-guard.
And I was like, that was when you were like 10 and 11 and whatever.
And it was just like, yeah, I used to race.
He used to race back in the day.
And I was like, yeah, like two decades ago.
I remember it was actually, to be honest, the peak.
I'd walk into that track every Saturday.
And people would turn around and go, there he is.
There he is, the fastest.
So you want people to call up and say, yeah,
peaked at 12.
Yeah, or just maybe you're like,
maybe you're 40, but you know you peaked at 25.
And there's a moment where you just go, yeah, that was peak.
Like life is never going to get better than it was when.
Every life has a peak?
Yeah, it does.
And have you already had yours?
I went under the edge.
We will have the results tomorrow on the show of our go-cutting race.
Dan's specialty skill that he's challenged me to.
Yesterday, we're doing a little bit of practice though,
and Dan was talking with some of the marshals.
that are looking after the go-karts about how back in the day,
you know, he used to...
It was his old stomping ground, he used to really dominate.
And then I was like, when you were 11?
And I realised that Dan might have peaked.
To be honest, you laugh, and you're taking the piss out of me.
Yeah.
Do you know what?
It was my peak.
I don't think personally that was your peak.
I think when you were, like, doing theatre shows and on stage,
we didn't know you then.
That would have been peaked.
I think so, too.
Similar period, though, really.
It was a little bit later when I was like 18.
Yeah.
I've peaked already.
I peaked about four years back
I did like three TV shows in one year
That's right you did too
Heartbreak Island
Dancing with the Stars
The Masked, The Masked
Got fired from all of them
All were they cancelled because they were
They all didn't rate well
No it was just too expensive to make mate
That's what I told myself
That's what it is
That's what it is
Yeah so I mean it's okay if we've peaked
It's good to be able to have a peek
I don't know if a peek yet boys
Well there's a lot of people on the text machine
They have
Okay
Someone said I was invited to meet the Queen
for fencing back in 2009.
It was all downhill from there.
No, it's not.
It's just some old lady you don't know, really.
Don't worry about it.
Adam said, I won the hottest farmer comp in Twyzel when I was 23.
I'm now 48.
That was the peak for me.
Somebody also, Tickson, saying,
one touch nationals at school 16 years ago,
and I still remind everyone.
We won nationals once.
I mean, you've got to remind people.
What would be the peak for you, Meg?
Because there's so many things to choose from.
Would it be the time you play?
played Tina Turner in the school production.
All the time that I won the Barbie look-a-like competition.
That was pretty cool.
That must have been many years ago, was it?
Yeah, well, why do you say that?
What Barbie? There's so many different Barbies.
It's just normal Barbie.
Normal Barbie.
Normal Barbie, like Mago Robby Bobby.
Right.
I was 10.
Okay, oh yeah.
Wow, they don't do those anymore.
No, they don't do they.
Yeah, that was at the Pottirua Mall.
What was they do now?
Tell everyone.
I think they were about seven girls.
And everyone had to be involved in making your own costume
So everyone literally was like wearing what a 10 year old could make
And my mum had made this like giant ball gown
And I just sewed on the flowers
So yeah
But I won that and I was very happy with that
And there was that time you purchased that massive pumpkin
Remember that?
Oh, that was a good day, that was good
And then I was told after I paid for it
That you can't eat it
And I was cut it
And that was kind of a low of my life
So ups and downs, right
Yeah
It's always hard as well if you go to the gym
and then you look at people lifting weights that you used to be able to do
and you realize that you'll never be able to move it again.
Some people have said as well they haven't peaked yet.
One person's 65 though, so I wonder whether the peak is past you.
On you just don't have it.
Nah, your peak's coming.
Everyone gets a peak, I think.
Bridges O'Nebion might have peaked at Christmas.
Just gone.
Mainstage of R&V.
I'm not quite sure how I'm going to top that one, to be honest.
Yeah.
Maybe beyond the valley in Australia next year?
Yeah.
Hit my emails.
Yeah, put it into the universe, mate.
Like electric have or something.
God, I would love to play an electric ab.
That's my favourite festival in the country.
Opening for Harry Styles.
Yeah, no, they're the world's your oyster.
I don't think I have peaked boys yet.
I think it's still yet to come.
You wait.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah.
You've had so many...
You've had so many peaks.
Yeah, you've got two great peaks.
Oh, thanks. Thanks, lads.
Yeah.
That's it.
Yeah, yeah.
I only clink can get away with that, eh?
Not a peak.
Yeah.
right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right,
right.
Okay, next on the show,
Danny Boy is coming to New Zealand.
You may know this comedian
or at least seen him on social media.
He's like half Indian,
half Scottish.
Which, I think when you're in Scotland,
he said isn't really like a unique thing.
Yeah, it happens a lot.
But here in New Zealand,
the Indian people that I know
and that I've grown up with
don't have Scottish accent.
So it's a real mind feeling.
for me. He's a very funny man.
Oh, hilarious. And he's coming to New Zealand. We'll tell you how you can get yourself
tickets when he joins us next on the edge.
Clint, Megan Dan. He is one of my
favourite comedians. He's half Indian,
half Scottish, which
he admits himself for two very different characters
in The Simpsons. Danny Boy is coming
to New Zealand again. Morning, Daddy Boy.
Oh, good morning. How are you?
We're dying well.
He just reminded me of my old joke.
Yeah, yeah, we've been watching your jokes all morning.
I've got about that one. I'll open with that tonight.
Yeah, yeah.
Put it back into the set.
I mean, you're currently in Australia now,
so you're touring over there, coming to New Zealand in just over a week's time.
Being Scottish, what do you think is the biggest differences
and similarities between Kiwis and Australians?
In terms of the audiences, I kind of prefer the Kiwi audiences.
Now, I'm not just saying that because I'm on a Kiwi breakfast show.
But I find there's more of a kind of connection with the Scottish culture.
And I don't need to change as much,
so I don't need to make too many different kind of references and stuff.
off. Oh, that's interesting. Do you have to do that?
You drink as much as we do.
Yeah, we do drink a lot. Yeah, Scottish and Kiweds can drink.
Clint's drinking now and he's at work.
Yeah, yeah. I've been doing this for 25 years, so it's finding a new way of presenting comedy
and keeping it interesting for yourself.
A little hint for you. You could just go back and check out your old jokes like Clint was doing
this morning and if you'd have been doing them for 25 years, I promise.
Yeah, there's some old stuff you could reheat, you know?
We do it with old creep shows.
It's amazing how many times people come up to me and tell me my own jokes,
but I can't remember them either.
And sometimes they'll come up, people say, oh, Danny, do your gecko routine.
I go, imagine if I did that now.
First of all, I can't remember it.
I would be to do that, you know, in front of 12 strangers at a dinner party.
So, yeah.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah, you could do, like, I guess when bands do that,
when they do the greatest hits and they just put together all their best songs in one album,
you just put it, Danny Boy, Great.
You can't really do that with the jokes, I guess, can you?
Play the GERC song.
That's the thing, yeah, yeah.
You're kind of on a hiding, you're on a hiding to nothing really.
Because people, there's people that come to the show sometimes,
and then they'll come up to you afterwards and go,
oh, you didn't do my favourite joke.
And then there's other people.
You've already heard it.
And you go, well, I've already heard that joke.
Why did you do it?
Like, Ed and John doesn't have that problem.
People don't scream at his concert, you know,
you know, oh, we've heard that one.
in the window before.
Boring.
And he sits down, lazy.
Lock it, man.
Yeah, we've got it.
Move on.
Well, make sure you get out and see Danny Boy.
He's going to be in Crushidge to Need in Wellington, Auckland and Hamilton.
So no matter where you live in the country,
he's going to be not too far away for you to head along
and catch him while he's here for the next.
You'll be here next week for a week.
Two weeks, actually.
And you're going to Hamilton.
Be careful.
Be careful.
You get me on the radio show.
Really, I want to get some information.
out of you, but you've been asking all the
questions. I wanted to find out about
Hamilton, because I don't think I've ever been before.
All I know is, every time I mention
every time I say the word Hamilton, I'm going
to Hamilton, I get that sort of sucking
of breath. People through their teeth.
No, Hamilton hasn't been the STI
capital of New Zealand in a long time.
Not in a while. They're still top three, though.
They just had them back to back
for a number of years, and unfortunately it's
stuck.
Well, I look forward to it. The good people,
the good people of Hamilton's.
I look forward to seeing you all.
I love it.
Danny Boy, thank you for your time, mate.
And I can't wait to see you in a week.
Yeah, I appreciate it, man.
See ya, bye-bye.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Scandal with Meg.
Scandal is thanks to OUSA.
Make sure you head to ORI.
It's not Otago without Ori.
Head to Otagoori.com.
Right, we're going to do a little game.
You guys want to play together.
And Kim Kardashian has been asked a few questions
by her sister, Chloe,
on when was the last time she did?
stuff. So first one up, when was the last time Kim Kardashian did her own grocery shopping?
When was the last time you went to a grocery store?
Sorry, I should have made her say it.
Now, the thing with Kim Kardashian is, I'd imagine she would have people that do it for her now.
And that would have been happening for many years. I'm going to say at least 10 years.
Yeah, I was going to say 2016. 10, 10 years.
We went to air one on our show a couple, like, six years ago or something.
but before that, probably been like 15 years.
I've been begging Ralph's to, like just to, I want to roam through.
I'll go, I'll go.
Can't we just go after this?
Yeah.
There's a Ralph's right there.
Yeah.
She's begging Ralph's obviously like a countdown or worse or whatever.
Does that mean she wants to hire it out so she can wander around and picking, she's a normal person?
She was about to say close.
Yep.
Yeah, she caught herself.
Because then Chloe was like, well, let's just go.
But, yeah.
Oh, God.
No, but that's crazy because she would need to have the whole.
whole grocery store shut down.
All right, next one.
Okay.
Went to a mall.
Oh, that would have been more recent.
Because she could have done an appearance at a mall or something you know, like, for her.
She could go to a store that is specifically closed just for her within a mall.
You know, those malls that just have that level where it's full of clothes that none of us can afford?
And no one's ever in the stores?
There were also malls in America that we would never step foot in because they're so expensive to us.
She would have gone to a mall more recently, I'd say last year.
I go to the mall.
Oh, I know.
No, you do.
With North.
Yes.
Like two days ago.
We go and get assayee at berries.
Oh my gosh.
You go, you're a ball girl.
Okay.
What about the next one?
What was the last time you vacuumed?
I'm going to give Kim the benefit of the doubt here.
And I reckon she's done it recently.
I think she's going to go today.
She vacuumed today.
I actually enjoy vacuuming.
Seeing the lines make me so horny.
But I haven't done it in a really long time.
Sorry, boys.
Okay, next one?
You wouldn't need to.
You got cleaners, I guess.
What was the last time he went to the nails?
salon. And didn't, I guess, have somebody
come to her? A salon, never. I reckon. Yeah, she's never done it.
I've probably done it. Like 15 years ago.
Oh, 15. Yeah, I'm not kidding. I haven't been to a nail salon in ages.
Okay, next one. Pumped your own gas.
Never. When was the last time Kim Kardashian pumped your own gas? Or like a petrol
in her car. I had a high school friend and through university, they used to live across the road from.
And when her car was empty, she made me get in it with her and then go up to the petrol station to
Petro on it.
Was she offering Kim Kardashian?
No, and she still didn't pump her own gas.
She wasn't even famous.
I think Kim's probably never done it.
No, I reckon she's definitely done it, but not recently.
I do that.
My kids love them.
Isn't that crazy that the kids love them?
That's their entertainment to go and pump gas.
And the last final one, boys.
Washed your dishes.
Oh, never.
Never, never, never.
She's never had to.
I mean, apart from anything else,
they just have a dishwasher.
Oh, all the time.
Yeah.
I don't know why people don't think,
Like I wash dishes, we do laundry, like we're not incompetent human beings.
Yeah.
But I think they think we have like butlers or something waiting at her feet.
No. If you're not doing the vacuuming, you're definitely not washing your dishes.
Yeah, I think that's a lie.
Like, I don't think.
Oh, yeah, I don't.
So you're telling me that she has her dinner and then she goes and rinses it and washes it.
I think I don't think it's dinner.
I do think she means like if she had a drink or a snack or something, she would rinse it out.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, maybe.
There's no point being like, Alfred!
Alfred!
I think that's what she means.
That just leaves stuff on the bench and leave and then someone and come in and tidy it up.
Yeah, for sure.
After they've left the room.
Oh, that's interesting, though.
Isn't it crazy, eh?
You can get so famous that you start craving the mundane task that most of us would love to pay someone else to do.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
We were eating at a restaurant, family and I.
And my daughter's very fussy.
Name and shame.
Name the restaurant.
My name's Cameron Rent.
Oh, doing me my daughter.
No, I wouldn't say it.
Yeah, yeah, my daughter Cameron is very fussy.
She doesn't like her food's touching, and she likes things very plain.
Even when just, you know, you get like French fries and you go, hey, just plain fries.
And they go, yeah, and then they bring it out with the little green stuff sprinkled on the top.
I'm like, oh, the chef doesn't have kids, he doesn't get it.
Oh, she's that picky, like the tribe.
Yeah, it just doesn't want.
And so we went to this place, and it was like an Italian place.
And I guess it was like an Alfredo dish where it was just pretty much punctual.
with a sauce.
With a white sauce.
Right.
Cheapy white sauce.
And I just say to them,
can we just get pasta with no sauce?
And she goes, yeah, and just some oil or whatever on the.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No oil, no sauce.
No butter.
Yeah, just want you to the chef to boil the pasta and then put it on the plate.
She's looking at me like, is that what she wants?
I was like, yeah.
Okay.
And then the whole time I knew it.
I bloody knew it.
it was 26 bucks for the dish
and I just go
they're gonna charge us
26 bucks for that
because when it arrived
it was just
it was just boiled pasta on a dish
exactly what I asked for
perfect
my daughter put some salt on it
smashed the whole thing
loved it
cool she's happy
we're happy she's eating something
went up to go pay
and she goes
here's the receipt
so she gave to me out
I just went straight to the bottom
Alfredo pasta
26 bucks
there's just no way
you can do that
and I said to her
I was like oh we in
so if we didn't get
If it was just pasta, you don't have like a price for just a bowl of pastures.
She goes, no, we don't really do that.
And I was like, I understand that.
It's a bit of a weird request.
But 26 bucks is when I double down for just a plate of pasta.
It does seem a bit excessive, don't you think?
They could take a discount off on the tilt, you know?
Like, you'll make it a bit of price off.
And she goes, no, we can't change it.
Like, that's what you ordered.
And I was like, well, I didn't really order the old Fred.
I just ordered pasta.
But I got to that point, and my wife looked at me like, what are you doing?
So, look, look.
I would love to know if anyone's out there that is a restaurant or cafe owner.
Like, why does this happen?
Because if I go to a cafe and I ask for a restaurant,
I ask for extra something, you're always paying.
You're never getting that for free.
Of course, but then I get that.
But then if I was to say, hey, can I get that?
But can I take the meat off it?
Because there's no options for vegetarian.
I'll take the bacon off.
You don't get money off for taking the bacon off, the wedges.
Like if I was to get loaded wedges, I'm like, hey, take the bacon off.
I can't eat it.
But I still want the wedges with sour cream.
It would be no less.
but if I added bacon, it'd be an extra five bucks.
So it doesn't make sense that they've worked out a price
by going wedges, sour cream, bacon.
And they've added those things up to find a price
that they feel fit to charge you.
Now, when you start taking those things off
because you're a little picky,
surely that reduces the price for the meal.
Why doesn't it?
Can I jump out of my lane for a second here
and be the devil's advocate?
I don't know. I'm happy, go lucky, usually.
What?
I was drinking something. I nearly chucked.
Right. I just want to say maybe.
It was more difficult for the chef
because they had to go out of their normal situation
where they're boiling, you know,
they got their routines.
They maybe even have the pasta pre-made
and the sauce pre-made.
They had to then make some fresh pasta for your picky daughter
and then, you know, do all this extra stuff work
just to make it for you.
It shouldn't be $26 if it's pre-made Alfredo sitting in a fridge.
Well, it is, though, isn't it?
But no, surely they've cooked the pasta fresh.
Well, before the break, I ended up
sending our producer Nipia
down the road to the nearest fast food joint
and I'm going to see if he starts
removing things from a burger
how ridiculous
can it get? Can he start removing everything
from the burger so all of a sudden he's just
taking the buns and they'll still
charge him full price or not? I think they
will. Like how ridiculous though
what if you go, okay I don't even want the top bun
I just want the bottom and they're still going to charge you
like eight bucks for a burger?
I reckon you could remove everything apart from
the bottom bit of the bun.
Okay.
Some places would do it.
So then the bottom bun you're saying is $8.
And then if I go get rid of the bun, so now there's, I'm getting nothing.
He's now.
Well, then that's ridiculous.
And they go, just leave then.
You're buying it.
You'll donate.
Okay, let's see how far we can take this next.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Our producer Nipia is almost at the drive-through as we try to do a bit of a social experiment.
When you remove items from something that you purchase from the menu,
why don't they reduce the price?
but when you add items, clearly and obviously they will increase the price.
Jess has experienced this before.
Hey Jess.
Hi, guys.
Do you have an explanation?
Well, yeah, I agree with what Meg was saying before.
It's so frustrating, not eating meat.
And then there's no option on the menu without meat.
So you have to order a dish with meat, remove it, and it costs exactly the same.
Yeah.
It happens honestly more often than you think.
It's gotten, thank you, Jess, it's gotten much better these days with vegetarian.
food. It's very rare in a place that has nothing, but they might just have one entree option
compared to Mainz. Unless it's like one of those expensive patties that is fake meat, you know,
because they're quite often, they're more expensive than meat.
Okay, quickly, let's go to Jenny. Jenny, sorry, Ginny works in hospitality, general manager.
So where are we going wrong, Jenny?
Okay, so, I mean, I totally agree with some of the points that are being made. Don't get me wrong here,
because there is some inconsistencies. However, food costings don't necessarily work out.
out that way. The cost of your food, as in like the cost of the actual product, is only between,
you know, if you're a good restaurant working on margins, between 20 and 30%. The rest of that
is labour and overhead. So the actual food cost is such a small proportion of what you're
actually paying for. It doesn't make nominal sense when you break it down per individual slice
of tomato or bit of bacon per dish. Yeah, I did say that to Clint. I said, I wonder if it's more like
it's pain for the chef's work
and then the dishes being cleared and everything
that you're paying for rather than... And he's essentially even doing
more work by having to remove the pasta
from the cheese. And I suppose it's then at
the waitress's discretion
then if you've gone and spent quite a bit
of money on like a meal as a
family and then you've just got this one
outlier where your daughter's gone
and just ordered like boiled pasta
where you might make an exception in that instance.
I have kids.
I do this all the time, Flint, just like
you. And sometimes I get my
into sticky situations and have an intelligent conversation with someone about why they cannot
do this.
But yeah, it is up to that person's discretion and a lot of them aren't even trained on how
to deal with it.
It's not even their fault because the restaurants aren't putting in specific training on
how to deal with this sort of situation because they're just not thinking that far ahead.
That wouldn't happen at your restaurant, Ginny.
I like Ginny.
Yeah, she's nice.
Hey, Ginny, I'm going to give you a $50 dollar to go spend a Pizza Hut.
You can ditch your lame lunch and try pizza arts in your.
you crafted flats today from just five bucks pickup.
Good on you.
Okay, NEPI, I think he's at the drive-thru.
He's sitting on hold at the moment and see how far we can go
with removing items until the price finally changes.
Yeah, yeah, next in the line.
Okay, all right, bro.
We'll just follow your lead.
You go for it.
Yeah, I'll order the big Breaky Burger.
I'm just driving up to the little booth now.
Here we go.
Hello?
Yeah, can I just grab the big Brecky Burger?
Thanks.
And do you think I could just remove the hash brown please?
And how much was that?
Okay, sweet.
Do you think that I could just remove the bacon as well, thank you?
And how much would that be?
Oh, it doesn't change the sauce.
Oh, yeah.
So if I remove the barbecue sauce as well, what would that go for?
No, so it's all the same, but like, remove the patty, it'll still be a little.
Oh, so even if I did remove the paddy too?
Yeah.
Okay, so...
Even if you just had the bun.
So even if I did, like, remove all the ingredients, it would just cost the exact same.
You want to just add those back?
Just say, I want the bun.
Okay, perfect.
Well, I might just take the whole big brickie burger then, if that's exactly.
Okay, thanks, man.
He's fussed out.
No luck. No luck.
I'm not just taking plain bun.
I want a whole burger.
What, not a free burger because I'm paying with my own money.
Yeah, but we send you to get a bar and you would I'll just have the full burger.
Okay, brother. Thank you.
Nipia's like, there's no way I'm paying seven bucks for a bun just to prove a point.
The guy's already told me.
We didn't have promo wages.
When he left, he said, I got this guy's, leave it with me.
Now he's just pushing out.
Your chance to play easy money, a grant in the hand.
And next, 0,800. We'll do it in less than 90 seconds.
And need to get your butt back here, A-Sep Marbury.
I'm going forward to that buck.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Lesh, go.
That was crazy.
A 18, almost 19 million people going through Auckland Airport.
Like four times the population of New Zealand.
No wonder that's so grumpy.
You've got to be dealing with so many numpties, eh?
Like, just...
Yeah, it must be.
Can you imagine me and Dan?
Oh, my God.
A week.
No.
I would last an hour without any other.
You don't have to take the laptops out of the bag anymore.
Anything in your pockets.
Footh off.
I want to be in charge of the Beagles.
That may my job.
I'm going on playing this weekend with my four-year-old,
so I think I'm going to be one of the nupies.
I'm sorry.
All right, let's see.
We can give away $1,000.
You just have to give us 10 correct answers.
Starting with the letter me gives you inside 30 seconds.
That's it.
The person playing this morning is Jenny.
Hi, Jenny.
Hey, morning.
Morning.
Jenny.
All right, you ready to win a grand?
Oh, always.
Okay.
Routing for you, babe.
Okay, you can do this.
Okay, Jenny, here we go.
Your letter is S.
Cool.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, yeah, she's locked in, man.
Laser focus.
Here we go.
Give me a month.
September.
A relative.
A sister.
A word relating to the weather.
Snow.
A language.
Spanish.
Something you'd find in the bathroom.
So.
A board game.
Scrabble.
Something you find in the kitchen pantry.
Snickers.
Something you find in the ocean.
Shell.
One of the seven dwarves.
Sleepy.
A city in California.
Oh, no.
Turning faster, surely.
Oh, there was one in the middle there
where it was just a slightly too long to answer,
but apart from that, almost the perfect route.
We started a little slow out the gate, to be fair,
and then you start to ramp it up and on.
We might get there.
We might get there.
Jenny, that was phenomenal.
Man, oh man.
That's the closest we've had this year.
Does anything come to mind now, a city in California?
No, the only thing that comes to Seattle, I wouldn't have a clue.
Oh, San Diego, San Francisco.
Damn it.
San Jose.
Oh, my God.
Jenny, that was so amazing.
I think a lot of people would have failed on that one as well, Jenny.
So, well done.
Hey, it's all good.
It's fun to have a go.
Oh, hey, you're on the high watermark now.
We're always going to be comparing everyone to Jenny now.
It's almost worse though, Jenny getting that far, that's that close.
I know.
We're going to want more Jenny's tomorrow on the show.
Seven and eight o'clock if you want to have a crack at easy money.
She was good.
All right, up next Dan has challenged me to his specialty skill, go-karting.
Yeah, absolutely.
This is because me and Dan want to finally beat Clint at something my week is next week.
But we're going to go to, I think Laura, if she stays by her feet,
that she thinks Dan's going to win.
Yeah, our parents, well, our moms have put $100 of their own money
behind this race.
There's a lot to unpack here, right?
Yes, and then the boss went and added another hundred
so, there's a couple hundred bucks on the line,
but more so than that, our dignity and pride.
And bragging rights.
I'm nervous, not because I think you're going to beat me,
I just want to really thrash the guy.
Meg, I'm doing this for everyone.
I'm doing this for everyone.
I'm so excited.
I think he's going to do it too.
I'm going to be over the moon.
I want to see him just sitting there being like,
I just don't know how he did it.
Do you know what I see?
I want to see him going afterwards like this.
Man, if I just like when that corner,
faster and I just like, what I did wrong
is this and he goes, he loses his little mind.
Clint's that friend and not a friend group
that's just like, song started dead.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Stinky B.
All right, Dan and I, we're sick of it.
It's 2026. We've been working together
on the show coming up three or four years now
and our friend Clint beats us at everything.
He's the guy and every friend group's got them, eh?
They go, she's got at everything for whatever reason.
Yeah. And sure, what we're doing is petty.
Empathetic.
I don't care.
Do you, Dan?
I don't think it's pathetic at all.
Childish.
Childish, probably another one.
We want to beat him at something,
so we have raised a challenge
for him to try and beat us
at our specialty, I guess, subjects or skills.
And Dan, you chose go-karting.
Yeah, I used to do it when I was a kid.
I was pretty good at it.
I haven't done it for many, many years,
but I think it's like riding a bike.
You've still got the feel, right?
We went to some practicing yesterday.
And we did two 10-minute practice sessions.
After the first 10-minute practice session,
Dan and I
I guess still kind of sizing each other up with it
What did it feel like to you?
I just thought I'd go out like 50%
And then
Oh were you going 100%
Nah, probably 40
Oh right
At times it looked like 40 if I'm honest
Yeah yeah I was a bit interested
That you were going pretty slow
There was a point where I was like
He's bluffing here
He was going so slow Meg
That I was going like
What is he doing?
It's like a grandma
You did voice
You both voice messaged me after this
And Dan you did say
to me privately.
Okay.
Yeah, we all were talking trash privately.
That's what we do normally after a show anyway.
Nathaniel, the track marshal had this to say.
It's a massive improvement after that second practice session.
But I still think I might just have the edge.
But it's super tight.
It's super close.
It's all down to tomorrow.
That turn one line is making or breaking your lap time.
So we'll see you can hook it up.
Okay, so he's still thinking.
and it's up for debate as to who might take it out.
Now, producer, Carl, we both got miced up
during the second lap, myself and Dan.
But I don't seem to have as much audio as I expected.
No, something went wrong with the mic that was on you.
So we've only got a bit of Dan's audio, unfortunately.
Well, I was just trying to commentate.
I was just trying to paint a picture of what was happening.
So I'll be commenting, I imagine, today.
Sure.
But you had to do the job for me when I wasn't there.
Yeah.
Okay, so cool.
So then we only have Dan's version of events and not mine.
Yeah, he really painted the picture, as he said.
Even when I was stressed in driving at the same time, so I couldn't concentrate too much.
I'm just playing with him now.
Like, he knows it I'm playing with him.
The thing about Clint is that I know that he will know this.
He's tight and he knows the basics.
Whereas I just know a little bit more about how to control it.
Control the rubber.
I'm right up now, nothing.
He'll know it.
Right, that sounded like you were almost doing something else with Congress.
I was right up behind him.
Right.
So now, I'm just gonna let him come.
He'll feel it.
I know what I was quite for coming.
I've been stitched up there.
I said come and then passed me,
but he's just cut it off.
That felt good.
It felt really good.
I did it.
I mean to hear what his thoughts are,
but for me it was a good feeling.
Right.
You make it hard for me to bank you.
Well, just, you can,
it's just a new window that could be construed.
I was just talking.
Right.
Still confident?
Confident?
Very confident.
It felt good, as I said.
Yeah, okay, good.
Good.
Okay.
And I will say this, when Dan challenged me to 100 metre sprint,
on a level of zero worry that I'm going to lose,
and then Tim being like, what am I even doing here?
I shouldn't be at the track.
I was a zero.
Okay, Dan was never going to be me in the sea biscuit.
Anything can happen on the water, so I was maybe a one.
A one, maybe a two in terms of worry that I might not get the job done.
And how do you feel today?
I'm about a six.
Oh, you got a shaking.
I'm not a 10-wired.
I'm a six-warrie.
You've got this.
I'm just in the bag.
Laura's put her backing behind me,
and I think that was the perfect time to do it.
I will say, I haven't seen Dan excel to the level
in anything like he did yesterday.
So it is Dan's specialty skill,
and he proved that yesterday on the track.
I was like, okay, Dan is proper good at this.
Okay, well this time tomorrow you can find out.
The boys will be finding out the same time as you.
They're not going to find out their times.
Until I tell them tomorrow morning.
As I was leaving, one of the workers at the go-cut place
started tugging on my face and trying to pull a mask up.
I was like, what are you doing?
He thought it was Lewis Hamilton under there.
He said that to me, and I was like, no, it's just me.
He was that shocked.
So I'm full of it.
And you look like a Ferrari promo model.
Thank you, click.
I'll take that as a.
Ferrari hat, Ferrari shirt.
Ferrari shoes.
and you should see my undies
Oh, not just skins on the track, hey Dan?
We'll be here tomorrow.
It'll be fastest lap.
Not of all the laps that we do,
we'll just get one lap.
One lap.
One.
What about fastest time? Anything could happen.
Presses on, Clintie.
Yeah. Which one of our mums is going to lose their money?
I think my mum's coming to war.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Shout out to Ace Motorsport.
They're at Mount Smart Stadium where the Warriors play
and also Auckland FC.
That's where we're going to be doing.
racing today. We'll bring in the results tomorrow, but are they
New Zealand's fastest outdoor rental carts.
So good. Okay. I have been, I guess, served
up a lot of content lately with old Tony Robbins, the
I guess self-help guy from back in the day. Or shallow hell.
Shallow hell, yeah. He's worked
with Barack Obama, a lot of like presents, a lot of sports stars,
a lot of billionaires. Like, the work he's doing
if you actually look into his life,
it's incredible how much, like he's a billionaire.
There's like 3,000 billionaires in the entire world.
He's one of them,
and he just works alongside some of the most influential people
because even they sometimes have self-doubt.
And the person that he'd go to is Tony Robbins.
So he's got this free thing this weekend, this free event,
and he does for like three days,
and you can pretty much sit online and do it.
So I'm going to check it out, why not?
Of course you are.
Self-help and improvement and all that.
He's got like, if you don't know,
who he is. He's that guy with a huge mouth.
You know, he's got a massive mouth.
I think he can have the world record for the biggest mouth in the world.
He is a big guy.
Fascinating story.
I'm listening to a podcast that he's doing with Stephen Bartlett Diary of a CEO.
Talking about his luck and what he does.
Sorry.
Yeah, his stocks have gone down it.
Oh, definitely. Yeah, yeah.
But Tony, there was something that he said on the podcast that I heard,
whilst at the gym yesterday, that I had to rewind and go,
I've heard that wrong.
I must have heard that wrong.
I have five kids and five grandkids, right?
So I have a 52-year-old daughter,
and I have a, thanks to COVID, a four-year-old daughter.
So it was good to me.
I was home, so.
So if you miss that, he has a...
552 a daughter.
And by a dollar.
It's the best impression.
Okay.
Okay, a 52-year-old daughter and a four-year-old daughter.
How does that work?
I ended up having to, like, chat GPT,
like how old he was and like how old his oldest daughter is.
It turns out when he married,
his wife already had a daughter, which he then adopted.
Right.
So his biological kids don't have that kind of age gap,
but it is still pretty wide.
Is his wife older than him?
Yeah, so his adopted daughter is 52,
and then their biological daughter is four years old.
But he is 66.
That's incredible.
He had his kid at like six.
Wow, the biggest mouth and the biggest age gap between kids.
Yeah, I want to talk shocking age gaps.
A 48-year age gap between your oldest and your youngest child is wild.
That's got to be a record.
Imagine, you're so far away from the start line and then to go back into the nappy game.
And the sleepless nights and the bottle feeds, nightmare stuff.
Like, even just how that even happened.
I don't know.
Tell me about it.
But I think we are absolutely.
assessed with age gaps, whether it be with kids, siblings, dating,
maybe it was like the difference between what your ex-partner, how old they were,
and then how old your new partner is, and people just freak out by it, eh?
I mean, an age gap within a relationship is always shocking to me.
If it's over 20 years, I'm like, how do they do it?
Yeah.
Where'd they sit?
So many questions.
If I found out, say, Meg, your mum was 50, and then your dad was like 78,
and you'd be like, whoa, you know, like.
Yeah, I...
Rebsessed.
And I think rightly so
I think we all kind of expect that
you all marry around the same sort of age
within what 10 years?
Anything over 10 years I think is when people's so getting shocked.
And it feels judgy
because if you want to have kids over a 10 year period,
cool, if you want to have kids over a 50 year period,
cool, I guess, like, hey, I'm not raising them, you are?
That's a long time between kids.
Okay, who has a shocking age gap?
Something in your life, whatever it is
where when people find out the age gap,
they just like lose their mind over.
800 edge or flickers a text 3343. What do you got? I don't know if anyone's rivaling old Tony Robbins to be fair.
It's a hard one to tell. Someone's oldest is 21 already texted. Their youngest is two.
19 years. Damn. What a blessing.
Tony Robbins has quite an age gap between his kids.
I have five kids and five grand kids, right? So I have a 52-year-old daughter and I have a, thanks to COVID, a four-year-old daughter. So it was good to me. I was home.
That's a hell of a gap between nappy changes, eh?
Do you think it's a mistake?
It would have been, eh, a mistake?
Or a blessing.
Right.
That's what they say, though.
Yeah.
Well, listen, what's his wife's age?
Because that makes...
Sal, does he?
He's been married twice, but he's 66.
He's 66, and he's got a four-year-old.
Yeah.
She's 50, so she would have had relatively later in life, too, I guess.
Yeah.
We just want to talk shocking age gaps, because we do,
even though we say we're not.
We can get a little judgey
by the timelines that some people
are living their life by,
even though it shouldn't matter.
Although it depends.
If you've got a vested interest
like Nikki who said my ex-partner is 50,
now that we're split,
he's with a 25-year-old.
Yeah, and then you start again, right,
if they want kids.
Yeah, maybe that's how it happens too
a lot of the time.
All right, let's go to...
Oh, we just lost her.
I was about to go to Kristen,
but we'll see if we can get it back.
Let's go to Sylvia instead.
Hey, Sylvia's the first time call her.
This got her out of the workwork, boy.
Oh, really?
All right.
Wait there, Sylvia.
For the first time.
So, stranger.
For the first time.
Welcome, Sylvia.
Thanks for calling.
Hi, dear.
Good morning.
Now, this is great.
You've got an age gap, and it's between your dad.
Yes.
Yes.
My father comes to me at 60 years old, and my mother was 47.
Yeah.
So your dad was 60, and your mom was 47?
Wait, so when you started school,
at five, he became a pensioner and was
in giving him.
Wow. How was it
having an older father when
your kids, you know, if you, your friends
that you would have made at school, you know, you saw
their dads. Did your dad keep up?
Well, I'm just in a different upbringing
for me because I have
another nine siblings. I'm the youngest of 10.
Ten kids.
Yeah, I was going to school with my
next to the nephew.
I got with my siblings kids
So, yeah
Wow
So it says here
Your oldest brother is 62
And you're now 36
And I'm yes, I'm 36
That's incredible
That's wow
Wow wow wow
Fun 10 siblings though
It must be a hell of a time at Christmas
Yeah yeah yeah
Absolutely absolutely
Do you still talk to all of them as well
Like have you got a relationship with all 10
Oh it's quite hard to kind of maintain relationship
when you've got such a broad, like, family like that.
Everyone's off, you know, their kids and their kids are like having kids now.
There's always one dut, I, one.
Yeah, you've got your favourites, I'm sure, Sylvia.
We've got to make you save them on here.
Thanks, cool, hey, Sylvia.
Okay, let's go to Kristen.
Hey, Kristen, we got you back.
What's the age difference?
Hey, so I've got a few massive age gaps.
The main one is me and my sister.
There is a 20-year age gap between me and my younger sister.
Wow.
Same parents?
Um, no. Um, my dad is, he was 37 when I was born and my mum was 20.
Right. Okay, so there was an age gap there as well. Wow.
Yeah. That would have been an interesting conversation.
My oldest sister is seven years younger than my mum and my younger sister has just turned six.
Oh, God, that's confusing. Wait, so you must have in the family, wouldn't you have like aunties and uncles that are like five years old and stuff?
I reached
well not recently but I went to a funeral
and I found out I had cousins who were in their
60s and 70s
yeah
it's all all these
so you're one of the younger cousins
oh
37 and 20 that would have been
on Chimbo
I swear
this one's funny from Joanna
she goes I always find it funny when people
at work have besties with big age gaps
when you see like a Gen Z
someone in their 20s gossiping with it 60s
year old at work.
Well, what is it like, Clint?
Actually, yeah.
When you hang out with Nipia,
you ruin the fun now.
I think what's clear from this is
contraception needs to be used
at all ages.
Not just in your 20s and 30s.
Although when you're 16, you and pass the goalie,
it's like, eh.
Yeah.
I think there's a lot of people assuming,
oh, I'm in my 60s.
What's the worst that can happen?
Holy shit!
You made it the whole way through.
