Good morning, bang on 6 o'clock Tuesday. Yes, good to be here. Meg's here. Oh, good. Yes, we're all here, Dan. Yes, everybody, your favorite characters. All here. Which character are you?

Dan. No, but I mean, what's your character? Oh, I just happy-go-lucky. Nothing phases me. sort of guy. Nothing faces you. Everything faces him. He was complaining moments before we went live about helping his mum to buy

Robbie Williams tickets. Yeah, what a nightmare that was. What a nightmare. I was on there for an hour for Robbie Williams. Did you get him? No, I got them in the end. Yeah. Bloody. Oh, good. She'd be very stoked with that. She was at one point where she was like, if you don't want to do it, don't do it. And I said, no, I'll do it. I'll keep complaining.

Oh, she'll love Robbie. Yeah, she will. Who's she going with? Her friend Karen. Of course you. And they're like besties. They're best, oh God, God. They're like, you know, they're the type of friends who they like read each other's minds and finish each other's sentences. Well, they wear little like fairy wings and little like tutu skirts.

You know how like... You know what? Me? I don't put it past them. You know why? There's like friends that like in their like, what, 50, 60s that go to concerts that wear little like... Why would they be wearing fairy wings to... They just do.

I promise you, you go to Robbie Williams and you'll see them walking. I don't know if they lose each other. I also pictured Julie and Karen going. should we have a shardine? And you go, oh, okay, just one. And then about four shardinets deep off their face. No, they're not big drinkers. That's what I mean.

So once it passes the lips, she'll probably have two and she'll be on the floor. She'll be anybody's. She's got him. She's got her tickets. There'll be a lot of people that are going to Robbie Williams. Oh, yeah, he's going to be amazing. Some of the boys in my footy team were like,

are you guys all going to Robbie Williams? I was like, no. He's my favourite follow on Instagram. He's very funny. Oh, he is. He is. Yeah. I know, I mean

I don't know if he's going to be Desper to go which I think leans into what I think the target demo might be Yeah, my mum and you're mates I know, it's a weird We've been I think Clint Meg and Dan

Oh my gosh Pre-sales We're up for sale To see Robbie Williams Eden Park How long from now Before he's in the country Oh I don't actually know

Clint you've asked me a question I've not prepared I think it's November Yeah So we could go with a Robbie throwback If you want Wow, he's got wanted. He does have more bangers than I realize.

Oh, he's been me a great show. Guys, is that all key? It was up there, yeah. I mean, for you, it was great. Okay, then? He's going to have a lot of slow stuff towards the end day, but then he's going to have to bring it back with it. That's a good opening, so.

So Robbie Williams playing in Auckland on the 24th of November and then he's playing Christchurch at 1NZ Stadium So the new stadium in Christchurch She's playing there on Saturday at the 28th November Our friend, Caitlin Coffee, that's her favourite song of all time Kids, you know what, I love kids as well, Clint hates it Only because he did what was like a New Zealand Idol And that was one of the group songs

It was a New Zealand Idol group song for the top 10 So you just like practice, practiced, practiced over and over with everyone. Everyone wanted their line. You know everyone wanted their time to shine. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to give it all the mother. Is that yours?

And then someone else would jump in and, oh, just honestly. Was that your line? I can't remember me. It was 20 years ago. I think for me, it's between kids or rock DJ. If we're going to play a Robbie Williams song, those are sort of as two big, like, I vote kids. I vote kids personally.

So do I mean. Oh, good. Well, that's two against one. I didn't even have rock DJ as an option. I don't want to rock DJ. Can't Tim J? No, absolutely. What a great song.

Kylie Minow got a peak of her hotness. Oh my God, I had a crush on her when she did the song. Man, you like your older woman, eh? She wasn't old then compared to you. Oh, God, yes. How old do you reckon she is? She's 50 something? I was like 12 and she was probably 30.

Yeah, this is a lot. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue. She's 57 by the way, for those who were hanging out, waiting for the answer on that. That was actually written just for her. And then Robbie, I think Robbie actually helped write it for her album, and then he realised that they had chemistry while writing it, so he made it a dream.

Oh, really? He realised that had chemistry. Damn. So he's going to be in the country. He said November. Pre-sales were on sale last night, so he's going to do Eden Park. and what's the new stadium in Christchurch? 1NZ Stadium and Christchurch

Yeah At this stage I mean I was on the pre-sale last night And they were selling very fast So I wouldn't be surprised if he does another show somewhere Oh yeah that's incredible Hey guys Did I tell you that I'm just an incredible

Husband Do you want to know what I did That Meg would never do Not really but you'll tell us anyway Yeah but for your husband And most women listening I'm going to generalise But most women at least that I know

don't do what I did Well, you're a man though Yeah, no, but just in terms of like, you know, the relationship and being cool, you know, like in the relationship you want to be like a cool wife or you want to be a cool husband I am a cool wife, go on Okay, well what do you think I did that you wouldn't do Did you let Jamie stay out and didn't ask what time should be time?

Damn it Ding ding ding ding ding Oh, yeah, you're not good at that. No, I'm not good at that guy And neither are any of the wives of my friends whenever we're out And they're like, oh man, I'm getting a text and I'm like, why?

They're like, instead of be home at 11, and it's 1130. I'm like, what? I don't sort of, I've never understood. I don't think my wife would. I genuinely think Hannah wouldn't care because she knows what would I do. And then they go.

But you're always home at 10, Danny. You drink a ginger beer. I know, but the chance is why maybe one night I'll decide to stay until 11, and I don't think she'll care. It's one of those, it's one of those things where a lot of the time they say, oh, my wife says she can't sleep

until they're home. So she has to wait up the whole night until I get home. I'm like, what if you're away for the night? She's awake all night? And what's her reasoning for waiting up? Is it because she's worried about you? Or is it because she thinks you're going to cheat on it?

I don't know. Ask me. I'm not the one. I don't think guys couldn't cheat on me. I think he's like, one, I think he's probably going to die in a car crash or something if he doesn't go home. Why? I just want everybody home and I can go to sleep and relax

because I'm like, where is he? But he's two in the morning. He's lived most of his life without you. looking after him. You know, like before he met you, there was a few years. Actually, well, yeah, just a few. We're about halfway through now.

Is that about right? I've been with him 12 years and he's... Well, at least he's 24, that's well. I just think he's not 24. No. Go on. Well, my wife was like... She was messaging me when she was out the other night.

She was like, hey, we're just going to be leaving the show. Then after that, we thought we might just have a little drink and debrief. And I'll be home by 11-ish. You never give a time, by the way, if you've got a partner that... Yeah. Once you give a time, you're locked, man. And I just said, yeah, whatever you want.

Stay out as long as you like, my darling. Now, what you've done there, this is smart from you, you've brought yourself a little token. For next time you're out, you can take a screenshot of that conversation now. It doesn't work that way. Doesn't work that way. If you said that screenshot, when you're out and about,

if you said that screenshot at one in the morning, when she's like, where are you? I just have to show displayed behavior. And like we're in that kind of relationship Where I go, babe, you don't have to tell me what time you're home You're a big girl You know, you don't call her a big girl That'll sort of

I don't think you can train us by this point I think we're pretty stuck in our way That's true Like an old dog Don't call me an old dog Stay out as long as you like Live your life babe Don't even worry about it

You know And then the freedom Hopefully if I start extending her leash She might let me off mine Time to time Do you know what it might turn into Then she'll start freaking out And being like

How come you can sleep without me, but I can't sleep without you. Oh, that's her problem. Yeah, thank you, Dan. That's her problem. If she wants to think like that, be petty, then you know what? All power to her. I'd say to my wife, if she did that?

Yeah? Yeah, nah. Probably not. Clint, Megan, Dan. Lesh, go. Here we go, more or less. Different topic every morning. We just have to guess if the first option is more or less than the second. We get a perfect score. We'll saw you out with one of our edge must

haves. This morning's is Marketplace fines that I've found this morning and what costs more. Okay, okay. Yeah, you like that? Do you know, do you see Tramey, by the way, have now gotten rid of,

or is it first of April? Yes, they're the costs. Yeah, success fees. Yeah. And it was like 8% when I was getting up there. And they were like, for the last 25 or 30 years,

we've been servicing New Zealanders. I was like, no, you've been charging our success fees. And now that Facebook marketplace has come along, you've realized everyone's gone there so they don't have to pay 8% on everything they sell. So Trade Me, I think, is trying to bring people back. Yeah. I still think they've got a lot of success. A lot of people still live by Trade Me.

I'd still use Trade Me. I buy secondhand watches. Yeah, me for property watching. I always think for vehicles and stuff. It's obviously much better. You'll still be paying to the list of vehicle and stuff. It's just the success fees on things around the house. All changed. All right.

Refurbished Marjong table. Did that cost more or less than an Apple MacBook MacBook Pro 16 inch? Ooh, now is it secondhand the 16-inch MacBook Pro? Must be, I'm guessing. Refurbish. Second-hand Apple MacBook or refurbish Mahjong table. I don't know much about Mar-jong. I know that a lot of old people love it.

Yeah, let's go to the Mar-on table is more. Absolutely incorrect. Right. That's only 550 bucks, but the Apple MacBook Pro, 750. Oh, expensive for a second-hand. I don't know if they're going to... Although Apple does hold their value. Very much so.

Okay, what about a leper-print chase? you know, like a lounger. Leopard print, like a sofa chase. Okay, so it's not real leopard skin. No, leopard print. Or a baby play pen with swing. Now you've got the swing as well in the play pen. You do with the swing.

It's a jewel. And baby stuff doesn't get used that much because they grow up very quickly and then you go, that's practically very new. I think if the leopard skin throw was real leopard, I'd say that was more. But let's go with the little swing. It's more.

Incorrect. The leopard print chase is $295 if you want to buy that today. Okay, we're on here for a perfect score. Yeah, incorrect answers. An eclipse mint tin collection, so you know a clips mint. Jesus. How big is the collection? I didn't look.

Damn it. Sorry, Glenn, but it's a collection. How many would you need? How many tins do you reckon you would need of Eclipse mints before it's a collection? Two is too many. I know, but like obviously, who's going on there and going brilliant? 50, you reckon? 50 plus.

Or a wooden chicken. Oh, the chicken's got me more. I'd rather have the wooden chicken if I'm on. Well down boys. Yeah, the tin collection, 10 bucks if you want it. Chickens 10, 20 bucks. That's $9 too much. Okay, what about an eight-string ukulele from the Cook Islands?

Or a dragon lava lamp? Very incomparable. I don't think the Venn diagram crossover of people in the mark of both those items is high. A dragon larvae? I've never seen one. Have you seen an eight-string guitar from the ukulele? Cook Islands? I would go to the ukulele.

Well done. Oh, done, yeah, $549 in your final one. Readers Digest Great World Atlas or a floor lamp in the shape of a monkey. Oh, far out. You've done your research this morning. A floor lamp in the shape of a monkey. Yeah, and it's like an, it's like almost like a kid's one,

so it looks like an animal. It does seem rare. Let's go to the floor monkey lamp. Well, damn boys, yeah, the floor of monkey lamp. He did pretty well in the end, 35 bucks. Well, good on us. He brought a back, yeah. God, there's some absolute, I was looking on the marketplace the other.

the day. God, there's some junk on there. It needs a clear out. I reckon like someone needs to go on there and go, that doesn't need to be sold. To put it in the rubbish. I've actually got like pretty much a brand new pair of black like trainers that I've been trying to sell on marketplace

because they wore them like once, twice max, just to the gym. And they're too small and I didn't do that thing. My kids were distracting me. I didn't do the thing where mum used to make you walk up and down in the shop to make sure that they fit well and they don't fit, but I threw the receipt out as soon as I bought them. They must be small because Clint's only got a size seven foot. So God, are they size six?

11 and a half. It's this one weird thing about him. Yeah, he's like everything's normal except for his little feet. No, that's size 11 and a half. They're 280 new. What are you selling them for? My husband will buy them. Yeah, 50 bucks.

Well, they were 150, but I tell him he came for a hundred. They're too small for Guy. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. First call of the day. First call on the day. Sean's called Thruise. Yes, indeed. Goy.

Sean's an LPG technician. How we're doing? Goody, mate. How's cross you? Good morning. Yeah, not bad. Bit foggy this morning, but not too bad. Now you sound like a man that knows his way around a bit of machinery.

Oh, I do. Yeah. Sound like you'd drive a Ford Ranger. Yeah. Yeah, Ranger Danger. Oh, get in. Ranger Danger. Yeah, my old man and my brother both drive Rangers.

Pretty handy with their hands. I think you sound a bit like a Virgo, if I mean on, instead of all the... You're Virgo? Yeah. Oh, okay. It sounds like you've got a wife and a 14-year-old boy. Yeah. That's a weird thing to say, but you do, don't you?

Yeah. Yeah, sure do. Wait a second, his party trick is you can, you catch and you eat moths when you're drunk? I've got a mate does that. Yeah, yeah, I do. What? Yeah. How big, like, have you got a, like, maximum size of a moth or can you eat a moth?

No, it doesn't matter what size they are. So I have a big, like, who-who-grub moth lands on you, you'd eat it? No, not who-who-hug moth, just eat normal moths. that flood around the lots. I've got a video of a mate in the Goldie, and there's this big ass moth lands on his hand. He goes, Homb, puts it in his mouth.

We're all like, what the hell, and then just go, and it comes flying out again. Oh, that is my worst nightmare. Disgusting. At least it comes flying out again. Yeah, he does a catch and release system, whereas Sean, I think, catches and eats. Mm.

All right, so, Sean, what sort of LPG stuff do you do? Are you filling up canisters or are you delivering them? Barbecues? Yeah. No, we look after the bulk LPG. throughout the country. You ever crack a nang on a Saturday? No, mate.

No, good, because you've got access. That's a random question, isn't it? It's a shame. I don't even know what a nang is. Do you know what a nang is, Sean? Yeah, crack a nang. Do you know what that means? Do you listen to us, Sean, because you want to?

Yeah. Because you have to, because we've got one of those frequencies in Christchurch where you can only get us. Good question. No, I'll listen to you because I want to. Oh, good on you, Sean. All right, well, we'll see out with a voucher to go spend and store at Z. Help you fill up that Ranger because that can't be cheap at the moment.

Thank you very much. Say hi to your nan for us. Yeah. Good one, Dan. Clint Megan Dan. It's time to get naughty at 640. Phil McCracken. I leaned over.

And other names. We've done them before. Dan hit two. Ready to go. You should do it the other way around. Eileen Dover. and Phil McCracken. Yeah, true.

That would have been. But, you know, the names that we've had before in this segment, silly names. Maybe they've been named quite innocently. But then when the names are put together, they sound not innocent at all. I've received an email from someone that has felt the need to email me with the name that they have from their past.

And if you want to email me silly names, you can as well, just Clint Randall at MediWorks.comco. You're very careful as a parent. You've got to make sure the first, the middle, the last, you get the first and last, what does it rhyme with? If you shorten it, then what does it look like?

You've got to do all your due diligence as a parent. Email reads like this. Hi Dan. I have the perfect entry for your funny name segment you guys do on the show. I used to work with a client whose first name was Dixie. It's fairly innocent name, isn't it?

I don't hear many Dixies, but go on. Oh, I know, you know, we've got a guy called Dunk that works here as many. That is what I think it is. Yeah, then I don't know anyone with that last time. Well, I know a guy called Dunk, who we all know, who works at another radio station. His wife's called Dixie.

That's true, okay. So I had a client called Dixie, and didn't think much of it until I found out that her last name was Normas. No. Oh, Clint, it's happened again. Nobody's last one is Norma. Mr. Normas.

Dixie, Norman. Daniel, you've been trolled again. He's even been troled in his emails, Now, Clint. He's finally him on his email. They're all cracking up, and producers loving it. We used to cackle every time she would email and put her name would pop up. Dixie Normas.

Now, already we're getting people texting through on the text machine. Barbara Blackshek. Used to be a real estate agent and crush it. We've heard her before, haven't we? Dixie Normas is like a character in Austin Powers. That's not. I googled it. It's just a new name.

We've never heard the name before. It's Gwyneth Paltrow's gag, isn't it? The fictional female lead in the movie, Austin Pussy. Well, there's also a Dixie Normas. What? Austin Pussy. Powers? No, it's called Austin Pussy. The movie.

Is that a movie? Yes, with Gwyneth. Someone else brought a car off a man called Joe King. J-O-E, first name, King last name. That could happen. That could happen. Joe King could happen. Oh, and under the edge, Text 303343. Let's get this going again, because it always goes off, doesn't it?

What is your funny name you've heard? Well, we'll make up names like it's most haven up in here. Adam's father-in-law is called Donald Duck. That's cute. That is cute. I did love one that we had because I thought it was actually feasible. Dennis Ball. That's great.

Dennis Ball was great. That is good. It really got me a few weeks back. Or Liz, remember Liz? Last name, Anya. No one's last name. There was, I swear. No way.

There's so... I love a funny name. We'll take calls as well from Mr. or Mrs. Normis if you're out there. Apologies in advance. Dan is crack it up, which means you've probably successfully trolled him, but he's banned us from reading the text. Yeah, he yelled at me for trying to look at them. So Dan, please, let us know what has been checked them.

We're doing unique names because Dan got sent an email and a game was troll. Oh, my God, this game really gets me. Best friend's mum, this is from Lisa. Best friend's mum is Ingrid Charlotte Weiner. Now, Wiener's funny, isn't it? But her initials are I see Weena, because her name's Ingrid Charlotte. It's better for me because I think it's plausible. I know that's very good.

Yeah, we anyway, I guess, is a last name. I'm fortunate, but a last name. I don't get this one. First name, Lou, last name, Scunts. Lou Scunts. Oh, my God. Oh, Jesus. You are diabolical.

This is why we can't trust you to be the text reader. You've got to sound it out in your head first. Sorry, that just came through, so I don't have a chance to read it. Phil McRevis? Oh, dear. No, there's no Mr. McRevis. No one's called McRevis. Do you want me to go to the phones?

Do you have me to go? No, I'm got Odette. Morning Odette. Money Odette. It's not your name. We're good, thank you. Is it somebody else's name? It was somebody else's name.

This is going back, I mean, I'm 53, so we're going back like more than 30 years ago, and I kid you not, this guy in Auckland, in the Auckland phone book, his name was Ivan. Itchy anus. Brilliant. I just can't believe you, O'Dy.

No, seriously, it was a Dalmatian name, so not felt like Itchy as an I-T-C-H-Y-I-I-I-I-E, but, you know, the... Pronounce that way. Dalmatian. So probably pronounced a little bit differently, but the way you read it, that... Ivan Etcheonis. Ivan Itchianus. So, welcome aboard Mr and Mrs. Itchy anus.

Hayden's text through, while you're on, this is another funny one. Hayden's text through saying he deals with a rep at Bunnings Warehouse by the name of Lou Sasshold. No.

He's Hayden. It's Hayden. Hayden. This is his favourite segment. We knew he'd be there. Thanks, Hayden. And then I said, beware of him. He'd have a warning.

His text need to pop up red in flash. Oh, Lou Sassel. What a lovely name. Mrs. Sassel. You'll be banned soon. Honestly. Yeah, we can ban you for 24 hours. For good. Someone apparently knows a guy from Denmark called Ben Dicoc.

Dicoc. Dicoc. Bendicoc. No. Stop it. Oh, anyway. Oh, well. Oh, well.

That's a bit of a laugh, isn't it? I've an itchy anus. I've an itianus. Yeah. Yeah. I mean Odette stands by that. Yeah. Yeah.

My goodness me. Do I have to give Odette something? Yeah, you do. Kevin Bevan. There's a guy called Kevin Bevan, apparently. Odette, I don't know if I should encourage such behavior. But we did ask you, I suppose. So we're going to give you our must-have prize back.

It's a $50 supermarket voucher. All thanks to Yuki-Mucci. And again, it comes through. Oh, thanks, guys. That's awesome. You're welcome. Make sure you grab yourself the Japan's iconic Mochi dessert. It's available in six irresistible.

flavors. The vanilla goes hard in her house. Dwayne Dickey's text through which is just fine. That's a nice name. But his mum's name's gay, gay dicky. Gay Dickie. Yeah, we'll end on that one, eh? Boy, yeah? Okay.

Honestly, that segment gets me every time. I don't know why. It's right in my humour. Clint, Megan Dan. The Edge. The Edge's easy money. Here's your shot at $10,000. One bar seven, ten grand on the line. if you can give us 10 nights as starting with the land of me.

Where are we going? Just somewhere in New Zealand. Take the kids on a plane. I've never been. Oh, that'd be nice. You always remember your first trip on a plane, don't you? Yeah, let's live in that moment because in about 30 seconds time, the dream could be over. For so many it is, but hopefully for you, it is in Joy, we want you to win.

Just not quite fast enough. That was the issue. Unbelievable. I don't like, something hot, I guess spinach you could have done, right? Like, when you cook it, it's hot. We had to have to argue that one with the boss. Yeah, we'd go into bat for you on that one. We would, of course we would.

Damn. The last one was a film star in Jennifer Lawrence. Would you have gotten that? Well, that's a tricky one. A film star. A film starring Jennifer Lawrence. Oh. Silver lining's playbook.

That would have helped you sleep at night then. You might have tripped on that final hurdle anyway. Thanks, Joy. You're amazing. Wow. Back again at 8 o'clock. Your chance to have a crack. easy money, $10,000 on the line. Next, a very interesting interview.

Yes, an interview that I will argue we're not going to get much from the interviewee, if I'm honest. No, no. I don't think that. Sometimes, yeah, we're going to have to try pry some real information out. One of the world's most famous trophies is in Studio Next. And it's not a talking trophy. No, no.

It's one of those famous talking trophies. What's the weird thing that you get paid to do? That could be anything, but you're like, it's a bit bizarre than I'm getting money to do this thing. Yeah, because that was definitely something on our mind yesterday after the show when Nick Becker, the CEO of the Auckland FC football team, arrived into the studio with one of the world's most famous trophies. No, we did it.

We did it. Oh, and here's the reason Nick's here. The English Premier League trophy has just arrived in studio. It's got two security guards wearing gloves. Now why this is a big deal for the people like me They don't normally watch sports This is the trophy of trophies That every big player has ever played football

Has touched if they've won It's one of the most prestigious trophies Just in sport in general in the world Wow, it is huge boys And the fact that it's here is quite a story Because obviously it's travelling around the world Nick is it at the moment So the Premier League take it around to all the key markets

Right and it's never come to New Zealand before But the growth of the game here Just shows how popular it is for it to come out here and spend a few days. It's just been in Australia. It'll go on around the US. It goes around Asia. It's an incredible job.

I saw people lining up for it over the weekend. Yeah, there's over a thousand. You say morning, you came down and see it. So I was starting to realize the chance of me drinking champagne out of it's quite unlikely. Well, it depends. What are you doing later on tonight? I'm available. Now, we were talking off here about it, actually,

and we were saying that the trophy got here to New Zealand in a first-class seat. Business. Business class. None of us have in this room. Happy boys? Oh, I'll be. Oh, okay, so just me. All right, how old.

I thought next to the trophy. PJs, yeah. Not with PJs, but, you know, yeah, yeah. Every now and then I drop down to the business. The trophy sits there, gets a seatbelt on it and everything. Absolutely, it has a pre-flight galusage in pay, takes off, gets stuck into the menu. And so is there a person here in the room that travel? You, sir, what was your name?

I'm John. John, and do you travel with the trophy? Yes, we're one of the Premier League trophy ambassadors. So we asked to have two everywhere it travels. Now, do you get a first-class seat? Business as well. class. Yes, business.

Because it's priceless in value, the insurance depilations are that one of the two ambassadors must always have line of sight. And John, I'm sure, can explain exactly how this beautiful trophy looks for us here. But let's just put it in context. He's from just north of London. It's grey. It's wet. It's raining.

He's just been swanning it around Australia and New Zealand. So he's loving life. It's a great job. I mean, you're going business class with the trophy going in nice hotels, because I'm guessing the trophy only has the best. So we have a nice hotel room. It's the prime asset of the Premier League. And obviously, the respect to the Premier League. League has worldwide. Obviously this is

what it's all about. You know it's a good looking trophy can I say as well because some of them are ugly these days. There's a lot of ugly trophies. Have you seen the America's Catholic? Oh my God. John are you versed in martial arts? Like if I was to touch the trophy now what would you do? Roundhouse kick me or something? Possibly or we've obviously have your DNA for life so you really don't want that. We have to try and respect the competition. We have to try and

respect the trophy but we're not going to fight people to the ground. That's not the image that we need to. The only people who can touch it are John and players who have won it. Players have won it and coaches who have won it. So people like Pep Guardiola lifted it six times. What a legend. Sue Alex Ferguson, really times. And some of the best players in the world have picked it up as well.

And I like that. Even though I'm desperate to lift it above my head, I think it cheapens it that anyone can do that. I think you need to earn the right. You didn't even get to lift the Dancing with the Stars Trophy, Clint. And also, we have a trophy here at work called Egy of the year. Me and Dan have won it.

Yeah, Clint hasn't. It's not as shiny as this one. You know, was us catching up with the trophy yesterday. You might see a cruise by your town or city before we heads back over to the UK. Yeah, and if you didn't know what the Premier League is, it's basically the trophy that, like, Chelsea, Everton, Leeds, all those tears people. Who touched it?

David Beckham? Oh, he would have, yeah. Yeah. Definitely, I'd say. What are the big names that we did? Cristiano Ronaldo. He would have touched it? Wow, that's cool.

Arsenal, anybody from Arsenal? They would have touched it. It's incredible, really, like an amazing trophy. And the fact that that guy gets to travel around the world. Yeah, I mean, he babysits a trophy, really, when we break it down. And he gets to fly business class doing it, like him and his mate. Hotel rooms. Yeah.

It's a crazy thing to get paid to do. I wish we asked him, how do you get into that? What did you study at school? Did it just fall into his lap? Yeah. You know? Was it a security guard and then he got into the right person at the right time? He tried to downplay it as well, didn't he?

He was like, oh, but I had a lot of time away from family. I was like, shut up, mate. You get to travel around the world for free in business class. We want to know if something that you get paid for, that's a weird thing to do. Yeah, like it might be awesome. It might be unique or it might be a little stranger. or that you omit as part of your job because you go, well, that's a bit weird.

Tech is there, I do get paid to do that. Just don't go around telling everybody. Yeah, true. Like if you're a trophy babysitter. That's a weird one. The EPL, the English Premier League trophy, was in studio after the show yesterday. A couple of guys looking after it.

John, who's the trophy babysitter, who sits next to it, mind you, in business class, flying around the world. It's an interesting thing to be paid for. Producer car was telling us where the trophy lives when it's obviously not being given to it. a team at the end of the season. Yeah, so the guy, this was the other security guard, not John. And I was saying, what are you doing now? And he goes, oh, well, we're done now. So we're off

to it. We're going back to it. He goes, oh, it goes back to my place. I've got it first. Turns out it has to stay in their house with them. And then, like, even in their bedroom while they're sleeping. And then it gets passed on to one of the other guys for another couple of days. Yeah, he said it was with him at all time. The security can be good. Yeah. And also, what if you go, hey, let's go steal that EPL trophy. It's a John's house. He lives down the road. I wonder if it also means if the trophy's visiting his house, like, they can't have parties, or they can't have, like, big social gatherings, because

unless, you know what I mean? Like, then people are going to get drunk and touch at your house. If I had it at my house, I'd definitely, like, do stuff with it. Pardon? Like, you know, like, drink out of it and stuff. You know, like, I would be doing... And stuff. I would drink out of it, but what's the other stuff? What do you mean by stuff? I don't know what else I would do.

No, I'd take photos with it. It's giant cup. Just like, you know, like, do stuff that you... What do you mean? It's got a little crown on it. You can take the crown off and wear it. Like the kit of stuff. Yeah, okay. And that's exactly why you put it over my son's head when he's not looking.

You're not hired. We want to know what's the weird thing you get paid to do. This text is very interesting. I can't talk on ear about it, but I run a service similar to rent a friend. And I join people at events where they don't want to go on their own. Oh, that's cool. You'd be good at that. You'd be really good at that.

Well, thank you. Like an escort sort of, but not like sexually in any way. I guess it's just. company, like rent-a-friend. I don't know rent-a-friend was a thing. I don't know if you'd get any, like, people coming back afterwards because you would have chatted their air off. But they definitely would hire you from the first place.

Oh, geez, your mate can talk, can? Not my mate, actually, he's a rent-a-friend- God, he's a nightmare. Someone else said, I did one of those medical trials with a new kind of medication. I had to spend three hours of time physically in the hospital and I made over 3K. Wow. I saw, I went to the doctor yesterday, and I saw they were doing a medical trial,

and I was like, you know what? Not a bad way to make some money. It really isn't. Not bad health anxiety. I feel like you'd get a, like, you'd rub something on your skin, and you'd feel like you're going to die. And it turns out, Meg, had the control the whole time.

It was just Savon, Meek. This one, Meg, I'm not sure how you feel about this. When I was a teenager, I'm going to guess 19. I sold my socks to a stranger in a car. He brought up next to me while I was walking home and asked for him, and I said, yep, score. The thing is, at 19, I would have done it, and bragged about it.

But as a mum, I'd more to me. Don't sell your socks to a stranger For money Yeah Do your undies too I'm sorry again Someone's text through saying They were a fudge packer for their grandmother

She had a little business And they'd pack fudge for her And she'd sell them in a local fare Okay You know what you're doing Daniel They know what they're doing Daniel

Good honour You know what Grandma's love making fudge Go on Yeah Brush and fudge We can end on that This is a nice one

I'm a caregiver for my ex-wife who is, I don't know if it's Scar 1 or has some sort of illness, but they're the caregiver for the ex-wife and they get paid to do that. That's pretty amazing. Yeah, I reckon. That's an incredible journey. Most people don't want anything to do with their ex. No.

That is a good person. That's an incredible person. Wow. You know who else is incredible? Manique. Monique, if you haven't heard about Minique from Fangaree. She can pick up a box of puzzle pieces, give it a shake, and she reckons with it.

in five minutes, which seems like a long time, but I don't have the skill, I don't know how it works. Good things take time, Clint. She can work out how many pieces are missing. It just comes to her. Not that we don't believe her, but we thought it'd be good to find out

if anyone else in her circle has actually witnessed her do it. Supposedly her partner has. And Andrew joins us on the show next to tell us how the skill works. Clint Megan Dan. It's Clint Megan Dan's. Flick, Flick.

Featuring Monique from Fangaree. She has quite the skill. Well, she says she has quite the skill. I mean, I think it's even a magic skill if it works. If it does, Blackie, right? Which is the radio, the most prestigious one. Yeah, well, it's all hanging on the ability of Monique, who she says from the age of 11 has been able to pick up a box of puzzle pieces

and tell you instant, well, not instantly, actually. She hasn't said that. No. Within five minutes. she can shake it and tell you how many are missing. I kind of like that it takes five minutes because then I know that she's doing something in her brain whether that be telethepathy or whatever it is

that she's figuring it out. Okay, and obviously there are skeptics, there are people that don't believe. Her partner, Andrew, is not one of them. Yeah, no, Andrew, we've actually got you on the phone this morning. What did you think when you first saw her of saw Monique's talent? The first time that she's done it in front of me,

I didn't think it was possible for anyone to be able to do that. But I'm believing her. I mean, I've been with her for 12 or 13 years. Okay, so Andrew, you've seen her do it once and she's nailed at once. Yep, nailed it. You never, after seeing it were like, let me see if I can find a different size box and see if you can do it again so it wasn't a fluke? Well, the one that she did for me, the one that I saw, it was a thousand piece.

and she nailed it in like a minute. Okay, and how many pieces were missing? There was, as I can recollect, it was probably about three weeks ago when she'd done it, so it was probably about nine pieces. So three weeks ago she did it to you for the very first time, even though you guys have been together 12 years? Yeah, well, she didn't really want to tell me her talent.

She kind of thought that it was a bit, like, weird talent, and she didn't really want to expose it to the world. So this has been like a thing that she's hidden, sort of a bit like, I guess, if she was a Superman or something, you know? Like she's hidden this from the world knowing that she could probably save lives. Because it's a weird thing, Andrew, to just go around bragging about. I guess, how did it come up for you to even know that she has the ability to do this? So she was in one of the rooms and she was playing with a puzzle with one of my nephews. Okay.

And I kind of snuck my head around the corner of the door. and she didn't know I was there at that time, so I was watching, and she just picked the puzzle up, and she kind of shook it, and she sat there with her eyes closed, and I was kind of thinking this is a bit weird. But I just kept watching, and then, yeah, she's just, all I heard from her mouth was there's this many pieces missing, and I'm going, hold on, so I went into the room,

and I said, what did you just say? And I said, show me, and she showed me, and I went, that's a really amazing talent. Like you need to share that with the world. But she's very insecure, but she's very confident at the same time. Wow. That's interesting. In this one skill, yeah.

Yeah, we've only known her to be confident in it. Yeah, we've never seen this insecurity you speak on. She's so confident. The fact that you're as confident in her ability as she is, and supposedly her mum is, there are enough people that have seen the skill in action that make me now want to see it in action. And Andrew, you sound normal? There's no craziness about you? No, I've actually taken that day off.

off work that she's coming down because I'm coming down with her. You sound like a great partner's been by her side and you're going to be by her side when she performs her incredible talent. For Flex Factor here on the show, Andrew, thank you for your time, man. We appreciate it. Not that we needed someone to validate her claim, but it is just nice to hear someone who's seen it. Yep, no, it's good. No, thanks.

Cheers, guys. There's a little confusion just coming through on text being like, I call BS. No one can do a thousand piece puzzle in under five minutes. No, no, no. She's picking up the box of puzzle. shaking them and within five minutes telling us how many are missing from the box. That's the skill. Yeah.

I mean, I'm starting to get a little bit dubious. I don't know. The more I hear... I just don't understand why you'd lie about it. I know, that's what I don't guess. How can you even make that up and lie about it? What's the end game? Why would the partner lie, then why would the mum lie?

Why pull the wall over our eyes and then just only to turn up and be like jokes? Okay, well, we'll get to the bottom of it. I know Hit it Hit the spot Whoa That you think Dan that I'm

Somehow always mean to you And really actually I would do anything For my two boys To the point of like Pissing myself off sometimes Oh we know Deep down

You've got a heart of gold Deep down Surface level Thank you very much Sometimes any one of those big industrial drills No I know

I have been thinking about Your hit the spot segment And how it is taken over To the point of being something that we're really known for as this show, that the internet loves worldwide.

And I saw your favourite person on the planet, Celine Dion, has recently gone on to TikTok instead of watching people's videos of them singing Celine. Bless her, right? All of a sudden. I don't know. Because she's just got TikTok. I think someone's got Celine, because you're not performing anymore.

You need to do some social media, and so she's doing that. And her team is, I guess, sets up some videos. And I thought, I think we can make this happen for him, I think we could get our dad in front of Celine. If you do a hit-the-spot and you do it well to a Celine song, then notoriously go viral. To birthday too. And it is her birthday on Monday, Clint.

Yeah, we're talking about that earlier this week. So I feel the planets are aligning. She will be, you know, happy. She'll be looking for stuff that make her even happier. Yeah, she will, and those videos always do well. So why not do a Celine Dion hit the spot for her birthday to see if we can get in front of her? Famously, Celine Dion, sadly, has got stiff person syndrome,

so she's got an issue with, like, her muscular stuff and how she, so that's why she doesn't perform at the moment. But, oh my God, just to get in front of her would make me so happy. I think, you know, not many things make me shed a tear. But if Celine Dion knew I was a... Dan, you cry all the time these days. Yeah, it's like you have... It's like a switch has been here.

You didn't cry in 10 years, and then like two years ago, we made our mission to make you cry. Now you cry all the time. You cried when Clint bought you like a remote control. troll Lego car. Meg, meg, me, me, me. Sorry. Stop spoiling the illusion because if the listeners think that I'm a butch, like one of these,

you know, you know, very, okay. It's a strange word to give yourself. It's a very strange word. Has anyone, I went under the edge right now. Has anyone thought when someone says, Dan, the first thing you come to mind is butch? I mean, to be fair, I had some angles. When I look quickly, I'm, oh, there's a butch. I mean, that was just Dan.

Okay. Would you like to try? Would you like to take on some? He's the Pope a Catholic. Well, I don't know if you'd like... No, he is Catholic, me. You know what? To be honest, though, the reason I haven't done...

I think we've done one, Celine is a bit of a gag once. The reason I haven't done is because I'm like... She is, you know, she's not an edge artist, is she? We're never playing Celine Dion. No, here I am giving you the go-ahead to do a Celine... Careful. It feels like a trap. Because, yes, she's giving the opportunity to be seen by your idol,

but she's also giving you the chance to sing an incredibly difficult song and a... embarrass yourself from kind of your idol. And that's what I would have put it past it. And also miss, you've missed the last two spots. So this one has to hit. Hey, look, did you? Did you get any of the pill or something?

What's wrong with this guy? He's supposed to be the guy that sort of bigs us up me. I'm just saying. I thought that was the big up guy. You don't want to go three strikes you're out with Celine Dion. I'm just making sure you understand what you're getting his happen to. Okay, no, I am getting my, well, you know what? I'll practice.

I'll make the, I'll make, this will be my best vocal ever. Okay. I need to choose the song first. And Celine would go, oh, oh, look at that bitch. Look at that butch man singing that beautiful Celine song Better be I'm going to be the butcher

Saline cover ever Well let's hope he does a butcher So when you want to do it? So we're going to do it on Monday who birthday? Yeah I think it's smart Yeah let's do that And then maybe your homework Dan could be bringing

Three Celine Dion snippets Where you think There is a hit the spot moment So like Dan gets to choose it But maybe he could present the songs Okay I'll bring three options tomorrow We choose together as a fan

family, you guys, the listeners, and then we present Celine, the song, later in the week. Clint Megan Dan. It's time for Clint Megan Dad's. You're all right. We've played this for the first time yesterday. A lot of fun. Yeah, 200 bucks to put up into your tank. How many times would that feel with the vits, Meg?

Your little Honda vits. A couple of times. A Toyota. Oh, you've got a Honda Jazz. No, Honda vits. No, I've got a Toyota vits. What have I got, Dan? You've got a Toyota vits.

Yeah. Okay. Okay, so here, we've got a wheel in studio with 15 car brands on it. Dan's going to spin it, and if it lands on your car brand, obviously you win. We're not going to tell you what's on the wheel. You need to tell us what you drive first, because otherwise you just go, yeah, yeah. So start calling now. Keep calling.

Here is the spin. Towers going crazy on the phones. Okay, it has landed on. Ooh. Okay. Not all that common anymore. No, it isn't. Let's go to McKenzie.

Morning, McKenzie. Morning. What do you drive? A hold in. Shut up! It's a defunct brand. She's gone and done it. Lucy had the Mazda, so she's gone.

Nicole had the Honda. She's gone, Viana, the Mitsubishi. Mackenzie, you have a hold in, it landed on Holden. 200 bucks a cure or all yours. What kind of holden do you drive? Holden crew. Oh, now that's very unreliable. Have you had issues with that? Oh, 10.

No, I've never had issues, thank you. Okay, good, because something might be coming. How long have you had it for, Mackenzie? My mum's had it brand new since 2013, and I brought it off her in 2020. Okay. Just letting you know they are very renowned for a lot of transmission issues and leaking headgaskets. That's all I'm going to say. Seownale.

So now. Mackenzie, how much does it cost to fill your tank? It used to cost me about 90 from empty, and I just sold it up 80 from empty the other day, and it just got me over half. Okay. Well, you're saving money on when it needs to get repaired next time. Damn. That's good. That's going to be awesome for you to fill that up. Well done, McKenzie.

Well done, McKenzie. Look at that. We're going to do it again tomorrow. Yeah, we'll do it again tomorrow. Another 200 bucks with fuel. Over four bucks over the weekend, as to the hero reporting parts of Auckland were charging. That'd be for your 98 premium, but still $4 a leader.

I feel for you if your car takes 98 premium. That is a mortgage every time you fill up. Yeah. Crazy. All right. Coming up next. Meeks been doing a little bit of digging behind the scenes to try and find out if Dan was, quote, the Zach Ephron of his high school.

Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, my gosh. Dan was saying the other day that he was the Zach Ephron of his high school. Yeah, he said he ruled the hallways. Now you're putting words in my mouth. No, those words came out of your mouth. Have it. I said that I, yes, I did say I was the Zach Ephron because I was good at theater and sports.

And you said that you deserved a statue? Yes or no? That was a bit of a gag. But if they want to put one up, I'm not going to go, no. So we obviously have this show, but we also have a podcast called The Overthinkers. You can text podcasts to 3343 or Bouncey the link. But obviously there's a lot of stuff that's set on there that doesn't get set on here. So you'll be forgiven if you've missed that.

So behind the scenes, I've been doing some digging and talking to your college, which, by the way, has had a lot of successful people come out of it. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. A beautiful college. I had a really, really good time there, to be honest. They really nurtured. Yeah, I can tell.

Drama people. Absolutely great college to send your kid to by the looks of it. Meg and I, we were hypothetically talking about if we had a time-traveling machine, how much of the fuel would we use to go back to Dan's high school days so we could sit in the crowd and just see him just in all his glory. Be so loved, be the king of his school in his words. Mr. McKenzie, Mrs. Donald. I don't want to get no-y, though.

like thrown into my locker by Dan you know in the normal ways? Yeah I know, I know right. We would have. They're doing high school musical this year apparently at college. Oh maybe Dan go back and... I could be the teacher, the adult teacher.

No, you can play Zach, mate. Come on. Yeah. All right, so I asked for a... The names, the names that they are, I guess, past alumni that are famous, that they would be proud to say, you know, were there. How many students?

How many students did you ask them for? I said a list, like, you know, like five to ten. 5.10. Okay. Whatever, what he comes to them? We're going to talk about it next, but how many did they send? Give us a number. Eight. I'm definitely on there. Okay. There's no way there's more than eight. Is Dan on the list of the notable

students from his high school, even though he hasn't been there in? How long? 20 years? Oh my God, so much just texted. I went to school with Dan and can confirm he was a drama God. Is he on the list, though? We'll find out after easy money.

Clint, Megan Dan. The edge. The edge's easy money. Here's your shot at $10,000. Two-bast eight. On your Tuesday, let's get into a $10,000 on the line if you can give us 10 answers, starting with the letter that me gives you.

Inside 30 seconds, you can pass if we've got time. We'll come back, but no repeated answers, Georgia. George's got an almost famous name, Georgia Lucas. Oh, like the Star Wars director. Yeah. George Lucas. Oh, I mean, I haven't heard that before. Oh, really?

Oh, wait, or is that side of them? No, she's been exactly. Sorry, sorry about that. Are you working banking, Georgia? What do you do? Tell her? No, I'm in the commercial space. Oh, she's in the big wigs.

She's in with the big wigs. Okay. All right, Georgia, your letter is N for Nashi pair. N. Meg's hungry? She did s for sausage earlier. Do you want us to get you something from the vending machine? I'll go out to the vending machine after this week, don't we're.

Okay, George, you're ready? N for n for n for n for n for. Yeah, cool, cool. Okay. Give me a brand. Nike. An adjective. Neer.

Something you'd buy from a pharmacy. Night and day. Night drops. A fast food chain. What's that? A fast food chain. Oh, um. Oh my gosh.

Night drops. Go ahead. Oh, pass. We're done. Yeah, the night drops really go to day drops. Go get your nashy p.m egg. Also, an adjective near, I think an adjective is like nasty, neat, nice. Hey, you know what?

You got through Georgia, you gave it a bash. Take that as a win. I mean, night and day, that's codrol. I think you're talking about, aren't it? But I was like, I don't know. We'll go check it at the end. Night drops. Sure, there's drops you can put in at night.

I thought she said night socks in the end. Did you say night drops? Yeah, it was dropped. It doesn't matter. You only got about three, so that's fine. You go back to looking after people's large sums of money, yeah. Good on you, mate.

Okay, Dan, was he mentioned in this list, that Meg has being sent of some of the most notable and famous students that have gone on to do incredible things from Dan's high school. Have you listening right now? It's one of those things you want to be recognised by your high school, don't you? You know, even if it's not fame, maybe it's something just success. You're one of the most successful alumni. I think mine want to forget me.

You got out of Lower Heart without getting pregnant. Yeah, well, I did. Yeah, yeah, I mean, later in life, but I don't think they'd really agree with the things I do these days, my Catholic or girls school in Lower Heart. Oh, that's right. Yeah, I don't know if that'd be very proud of me.

She's been banished from the list of all night. Meg's on her list. That's a different kind. Clint, Megan Dan. He is the Zach Ephron of his high school. Your words. No, your words, darling. those are your words

and we wanted to honour our friend and make sure that you are telling the truth and not telling our spibs. Well you know what? It was and this will make me seem old but it was 20 years ago, it was. Yes but you have said these words. We haven't said this about you.

Like when I was there, I would have thought they would still be talking about me in 20 years there because of just the impact I made on the drama community. We did get a text saying where I went to school with Dan and can confirm he was a drama god. Within the school. Did you peak in high school?

Definitely. I look back, oh, gosh, yes, Clint. I look back on my life and I go, where was the Everest, where I hit the summit? And I think it was when I played Jean Valjean and Lamer's 2005 Howard College. Sad to Meg and I. Yeah, really sad, but we'll move on, Clint. This is like Mount Kilimanjaro. We have an overthinker's podcast, which we do after this show.

You can have a listen, if you like, just text a podcast to 33443. And we got talking about this, and we were like, so if you're saying, Dan, if we called your school and found someone that obviously had been working there for a long time, they would remember you and he said definitely. Yes, absolutely. Unfortunately, the person that we spoke to, I think her name was Sam, she'd only been there six years.

Yeah, so it was lovely, but... We spoke to somebody else, and I have been sent the list of the famous alumni that used to go to Howard College. And in all seriousness, this sounds like a joke. But I'll be really just a little bit hurt, just a little bit dagger in the heart if they don't remember me. Shall we get into it?

Okay. Here is the list in order. From one. From, yeah, I guess. Because then Dan's hoping he lands at least number eight. I'll be happy if I'm on the list. I don't care if I'm number one or not. Amelia Walmsie.

Current Silver Fern. Right. Never. You're an arseller if you don't believe. No, I've heard of her. Yeah, no you say it. Silver Fern. Steve Gurney, multi-sport and triathlon athlete.

Oh, yeah. Incredible. That's what I'm saying about how I'm college. They've done amazing things. Yes, yes, yes. Good. Christopher Luxson. current Prime Minister. He went to Dan's high school.

Yeah, he went to Dan's high school. He's number three on the list and he runs the country. Don't like him. Uh, Kittamine, winner of Rupil's Drake Race down under. Really? Really? I did not know that. Incredible, incredible list. The fact that you don't know these people into school does not bode well for you

finishing in a top eight because you didn't know there were this many. Look, I don't know if they did an order, but it was in a list. And the fact that I'm not, I haven't featured yet. Christopher Luxon, the Prime Minister of the country already have. I'd be very surprised if I'm higher. Okay. There's only four spots left.

Amber Pebbles, New Zealand TV host, winner of Miss World 2004. Now, let's be honest. Yes, she's been around, but what has she done recently? Paris Goebel, which she really knows. We all know. Corrographs for the likes of Beyonce and Rihanna. Tex Edwards, two degrees founder, which is incredible. Founded two degrees? Yes, my goodness, okay.

Oh my, you went to the same school as these people. There's no way they're going to remember you. Stop the list. How many are left? One more is left. Your shoe. Number one, above Christopher Alexander. Number one.

Dan Williamson, Olympic old meddlest. Dan Williamson. You actually thought it was you. You thought it was you above the Prime Minister. Look at him. Wait. Above Paris go above.

You know this bitch bag. I do say that. Dan thought it was more famous than the Olympics. The silver pins, you're honest to God thought she was going to say, Webby. Who's what's his name? Dan Williamson. I genuinely, textor, if you've heard of him. I haven't never heard of the guy.

But he's a bum Bucksman. The fact that his name was Dan and his last name starts with a W. You did him so dirty there, Meg, and I love you for it. Thank you. I went to texting for that. I went to how I knew about Chris, not Dan. Shut up. That does.

Look, if I'm honest, there's a lot of people, the famous people that were there. Yeah, it's an amazing college. It's actually incredible. What were the last couple? There was the owner of Two Degrees founder? Yeah, that's amazing. You thought you were going to be above her? The man that leads the country, even though, you know, some people don't agree with what he does.

And, you know, there is, yeah. Okay. Paris Goebel. Careful what you say on this show, because we'll check it. I didn't teach everything Paris knows now. What? I was sort of, I guess, kind of a mentor of sorts when she was. You weren't Paris Gobbles' guru.

Hmm. Which was at school. Stop it, Dan. God, you should hear him go off at the background. Dan is not happy, he wasn't on that list. Dan just found out he's not on his school alumni, like notable people that have gone on to do incredible things. And just put me on there. Like, I remember at that school, I started their drama.

Like, I started, almost was like the... Almost or did. The precursor their drama. outlet department Dan's just being like I can't honestly I can't believe I'm not on that look that's so we need to call them he told me that

if he was on the list he would have felt so proud he would have just gone and showed his face to I just walk through the corridors just to go people whisper and go there he is

there's the guy So Meg read out people like Christopher Lachson the person that founded two degrees Rupils Drag Race winner Kidamine Paris Goebel so there are some very famous people

that come out of his Cool. So you can forgive them, I think, for forgetting about you because there's a lot of big names. Yeah, I get that. And look, they're all more famous than me. But I want to be remembered for the mark I made on that school. It's like Mother Teresa being forgotten. Sounds like you made more of a scuff. Oh, outrageous. Your ego is starting to like push against Clint's of being the biggest on the show, maybe. Remember that time, Meg, when you were reading number one, Dan stood up. Stadz up.

I thought it was him for the video. Anyway, let's move on. I want to forget about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Has this being beeped, by the way, Prodicea Nepea, this audio that I'm going to play? Yeah, it has? Okay, cool, cool. He looked panicked then. I don't think it's been beeped. We just don't want to get this person in trouble

because it was very early yesterday morning. And I suspect the reason why they called admitted this was because they figured that their boss wouldn't hear it. And now we're replaying it at like, arguably work hours. So I don't want to get them in trouble. But I found this shocking yesterday when this listener called us. and admitted something.

You were a high school teacher? Which school are you teaching at? I can tell you off air because I've actually called in sick today. Oh, you don't want to hear you. I'm actually going to visit a friend who's flown over from America. Fun. That is cold. It's so balsy to then not only do that but then call the radio station and admit that.

I mean, we've all done it, haven't we. No. No, I've never called and sick if I haven't been sick ever. Piss off. Promise you. I don't think I have either. I think the most of ever done is like I probably could have worked today. But I took a extra day.

Halfway through, you perk up at midday or something. No, even when I was in school and the boys would wag, I'd go like during lunchtime or whatever and get a pass from the nurse saying, I forgot my football boots something. She'd give me a pass. So then when we'd all wag, if I got caught, I had a get out of jail free card.

Oh, God, I would have. And I used it multiple times. At least 10 times I've called in sick when I wasn't. Well, yeah. I'm not in this job. Definitely not. But I mean, other jobs. To do what?

Just like. Just because I didn't want to go to work. Sit at home? Yeah, sit at home. Sometimes I did have plans, but not all the time. Sometimes you just want a day off. I don't know. It just feels like too naughty.

I don't know. I feel like if I am, have called in sick, I cannot leave the house in case somebody sees me and goes, aren't you meant to be sick in bed? Yeah, like there's no way. Like even if I'm feeling better halfway through the day, like you said, Clint, I'm staying home in case they get caught. You've heard of those people that go to like,

they've got the day off to go to like the big day out when it was a thing or they've gone to a cricket, and then they've shown on the big screen. boss, you know, if it will hear that story. Yeah, yeah, maybe you took the day off to get tickets to a concert, line up for them. People still do that, maybe? No, there's a thing called the internet now, Meg. I feel like people still line up for tickets, do they?

Sure, like that. How's that real groovy? Someone used to tell those people that there is internet. I think it's quite hard to get the internet with those big concerts now. I think it's actually a hack to go online at place that it's. They have a certain amount set aside for physical copies. Instead of going up against, what, 300,000 people online. Maybe.

Someone said it's a mental health day. I actually think a mental house day is a thing now I'm talking just nothing like you've got no mental health issues nothing you're just having the day off room the boys are going to play golf or something up north and they're like come on just come with us take fright off and let's go and you go bugger it

We want a reason of why you pulled the sickie Yeah And you weren't sick another reason The lameer the reason the better I think Because it feels so much more naughty And if you're wanting a day off today This might give you an idea

Some of these calls Surely you've started by now 20 past 8 What did you pull a sickie for? What do you guys think of this? All right for a bit of an intro for this segment? Get up your money down like a sickness. Get up to come on you down.

Oh, ha. Sorry, I love that part. I mean, I shouldn't have done that. No, you do. That's embarrassing for me. Good on you. You gave it a bash and you know what? It sucked, but it...

Hey, even some of the best baseball players still strike out, Meg. Exactly. Can't hit every ball you swing at? Do you know what Dan said to me just before this break? No. No? Meg, I've been really nice to you today. Amazing.

All right, we'll know why you pulled the sickie because somebody called us yesterday and said that they were pulling a sickie to go and hang out with their mate who had flown in from America. I know. Because I guess you would ask for the Delf, but if you know the boss is going to say no,

then you go, well, you can't say no to calling in sick. The issue is you get, like, what is it, 10 sick days a year or something and they accrue for a lot of jobs, whereas sometimes you just use all your, leave. Yeah. So you need to use some of those sick days. No, I don't know if that's what it's for. You can't go, well, I'm out of annual so I have to use. Sometimes you've got to cheat the system a little bit. I don't know. Not every, all the time, just every now and then. I think it's fine.

Now we're always going to be wondering when Dan's always sick if he's actually sick. Or out fishing with the boys. No, I'm very lucky. I love my job, but there is people out there and I've worked in jobs before. I don't like it, you know, and sometimes a sick day is a better option. All right, John, when did you pull a sickie? So I was supposed to be working from home And I thought that that would be fine I'd get away with not even calling in sick

Because I was heading to Auckland for the weekend for a boat race Right So I drive to the airport Go through the airport jump onto the plane Sit down and look to my right And sitting right next to me was my big national boss From Auckland Who'd been in Wellington for a meeting that I hadn't known about

And I just looked at it and went you're not seeing me here this is not I don't exist oh my god the chances that it's such bad luck John was he a good boss so I'm

like I'll just turn to blind eye good on you John he was a very good boss yeah he just said you're not going to do that again are you and I was like nope oh that's good imagine the first time you pull a fake sickie

I know your big boss sees that chances eh universe hates you yeah can we read Katie's can we Katie. Oh, yeah, we can.

Go on. Oh, don't want me to read it. I pulled a sickie once being a solo mom. I don't get a lot of time myself, so I pulled a sick to have a route. No, you can't read that. You should ask me. Don't ask Dan. It's 27 past eight.

Good on you, Katie. Get on you, Katie. You've got to take what you got. Jamie, morning. Good morning. Hey morning, Jamie, sorry about these two. Morning. You bought a sickie for what?

To finish the book I was reading. Oh, it must have been a page turner. Gee, what are you? Absolutely. And you've got to know whether they get together. It was quite a smutty book. Oh, what's smutty book are you reading? Tell me what it was.

The one I'm reading at the moment is the one black window by Rachel, but a fourth wing or any Anna-Hung or all of their books. On the flip side, Jamie, wouldn't it be nice to have that to look forward to after work? Like I'd go, oh God, I can't wait to finish the book tonight. But you had to have, the book's not going anywhere. I was going to spoil it for you. Can't sit there and read your books while you've got kids.

Oh, I see. So you took the time to yourself just to enjoy it. Yeah, that's so true, Jamie. You don't get to sit down if you've got kids. Went back home, got into bed. I read my book. I love that. Good on you.

Yeah, it was really good. A lot of people were similar vain to what you have taken days off when a new game's been released, like PlayStation or something. Like when Granthi of Daughter was released, people taking days off. Stranger things coming out. I wouldn't be shocked if Cal from days. Randomly had days off around that time. Yeah.

He sent an alarm to watch the Spider-Man trailer at 3 a.m. when it dropped. Still came to work, though, the next day, Trooper. Yeah. Look at him. There's so many of these coming through. We don't have enough time to cover them all. A lot of people doing sick days for a tattoo. That's a tricky one when you show up the next day with a fresh tattoo, though.

Hopefully there's somewhere the boss doesn't have to wear long sleeves Just a lot of love coming through for Katie Katie and VP, go girl, get him Hannah says Katie's a queen She's our queen I love you Katie Far out All right, the A-lister list is up next

We will argue over which celebrities deserve to be at the top And at the best party And which ones unfortunately We'll have to settle for a B-lister status for now Clint Meg and Dan Excel from Meg She knows what she's about to embark on So true, Glynn

stresses me out. Okay, we have three names for the A list, B list or C list. You get to be involved and make the final decision. Yes, Clint. True, only one celebrity is on the C list? Only one celebrity's on the C list. That's Alec. Poor old Alec.

Just sitting there by himself with a martini. Okay, the three names this morning are Mariah Carey, Nicholas Cage. Oh, we want to do one at a time or no? I'm just going to read them out first. And Viola Davis. Starting off with Mariah Carey. A all day.

Okay. put it on the list. She's an easy A. Mariah. She goes by one name as well, if you say Mariah, you go, it's Mariah Carey. She's got some of the most famous songs in the world. She's A. Nicholas Cage. A, no, I knew you were going to be a deal about it. No, no, no, no, he is such a, like, he's a B. He's a meme, though, these days. He's almost, like, gone past the point of being, he's kind of like Chuck Norris to me. It's Nicholas Cage. There'll be a lot of Gen Zs out there that don't know who Nicholas Cage is. He hasn't done any good work. He hasn't done memes. He hasn't done

Much good work on us. National treasure. Oh, much stuff. Yeah. Conier was a classic. Again, from the early 2000s. Name it. Name him if he's done recently.

Yeah, but that's okay. Like Michael Jordan doesn't play basketball anymore. He's still in A. He did much more meaningful stuff when he was famous. Nicholas Gage. He's got that face. People have got on cushions. Does he?

Yeah. They have his face on cushions. They have his face on Cush. A-list behaviour. Meg, you've got a name on a cushion. I think I've seen a face. You're not on A list. Oh.

You know? No, no, no, that's true. So I think he's a B. It's a good list to be gone for him. He's lucky to be there. Face off, that's right, with all great films, Clint. We'll discuss, Nicholas. What about Viola Davis in three, two, one, A.

Who is that? Who is Viola Day. She's in all my right, New Zealand? How can we both have Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis as whose? Viola Davis. Do we have any audio of here? Neepia, did you get some more? As soon as you hear her voice.

In 16, in the state of Louisiana, means that under the right circumstances, she could be tried as an adult. and if convicted could be sent right here to all Belle Reeve and in here, well. I know the voice, I know the face, she's an incredible... The thing with Viola is she is very, very, probably one of the best actresses in the world. Yeah, even Timothy Shalemey said in his acceptance speech,

I want to be like Viola Davis, like one of the greats. Problem is it's got nothing to do with how talented you are. It's whether the world knows your name. I just think she's... She's a bee. She is a bee. She's not a bee. There's no way I'm going to fight for this one.

There is no way Viola Davis is a bee. She's in there with Nicholas Cage. Oh my God. B or a C? I can't. Okay, so we go to Nicholas Cage and Viola Davis. Both B's in my opinion. It shocks me.

Nicholas Cage, lucky to be there. Viola Davis is in the help. That's an incredible film. And she is great. Just the name. You don't get a face as soon as you hear it. You need to help us out here, as Meg said before. Oh, 800 at the edge.

or text through 3-3-4-3. Already people are saying Nicholas Cage is a massive wooden B. Viola Davis is an Egot winner by the way. Emmy, Grammy, Tony, Sagg and Oscar. Someone else has said

put Nicholas at a C or I'll die. Someone's put Viola Davis at a C. I don't think she deserves C. I think she's a B. And then Viola A all day. How many... Okay.

Your vote will count for more if you call, but otherwise we'll see your text. 0800 the edge. 23-4-3-4-3. 22 people in the world have E-GOT status. Viola Davis is one of them. 22 is quite a lot.

Oh my God. There's quite a lot of people. Surprise, surprise. We've been arguing behind the scenes, the entire song. This is my first time that I actually hate this segment. This is my first time. I see what you mean, Dan. It's just winding me up now.

It stings, doesn't it? When your Jim Carrey ends up as a B-lister? Yeah, Viola Davis is who we're talking about. And by the way, the fact that people are arguing that she's not as famous as Liam Neeson as Rees-Witherspoon as Jason Statham just blows my mind. Yeah, we're doing a segment called the A list, a who's on the A list, who's on the B list, in terms of fain. Channing Tain. You're saying Viola Davis isn't as famous as Channing Tate.

I would say they're on par. Okay, I think Viola Davis looking at the movies and stuff that she's in. Phenomenal actress, her talent is without question. I'd say probably... The Beyonce's and Mariah Carey, you instantly know who we're talking about. I think if you ask most... Jason Statham? If you ask most people in the street, who's Viola Davis,

I don't know if they would be able to reference her as quickly as your Rianna's. Meglis. Some of the big names, the top echelonant of A-listers were put on the list. Beyonce. She's there. Denzel Washington. By the way, I still think

Violy's better than Denzel. A-all-day. Shear. How? Posh Spice, Will Smith. Yeah, because they're house all names. Yep, they're all A-listers. I don't think Viola, even though she's probably one of the most talented actresses in the world,

is famous enough to be on the A-list. And if people say they've never heard of it, you should educate yourself. Also, justice for Nicholas Cage as well. He's copped a lot of bees. Lauren, you disagree? Yeah, I completely disagree. Nicholas Cage is a legend. He is amazing on national treasure, and I would say a lot of other people,

and especially my small hometown, would completely agree. How old are you, do you mind me asking, Lauren? No problem. I'm 26. Okay. So you'd be one of his younger fans. Have you even seen Face Off and The Rock and stuff like that? Yes.

Yes, I have. I think if we're moving either one of Viola or Nicholas Cage off the B list to the A list, it's Viola. She goes up to A. I can't accept that Nicholas Cage is more famous than Viola Davis. Okay, name a more famous Nicholas. Ah. But that doesn't matter.

The one from that show. Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick. Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Offerman. Who? Nick Offerman? Oh no, he's still... Nick Offerman? I'd say Cage is more famous. Nick Jonas, Nick Offerman.

Anyway, we're not debating. Oh, Nick Jonas isn't more famous than Nicholas Cage? What are you high? Oh. I think let's agree. I think on the text machine, Nick Cage stays at a B. Nick, Viola has to stay as a B

because I'm not making her a seat. Okay, no, she can't. Haley Jones, good morning. Good morning, team, how are we? Very good, Haley. What are your thoughts? You're here to debate, Viola Davis? Yeah.

She's an A. Michael Jordan would not do the movie air unless Viola Davis was playing his mother. I think why Haley, me and you both are on the same page is because obviously she's an amazing actress. But we know if celebrities chose this list, they would be putting Viola as an A. And the fact that we're not just blows my mind. Okay, here's the deal, Haley. You can agree with this or disagree. We move Viola from a B to an A, but we keep Cage at a B.

Dan, I don't even know. Absolutely. I agree with you, Haley. But Dan, we can't do that. To Viola, she's only had like two A's. Everything else is a C or a B. Yeah, you've got to do what the majority of people are saying, because that's the list.

You can't just, because otherwise David Schwimmer would be an A if you were pandering to my needs. Okay, so Viola's a B. It hurts my heart. David Schwimmer, Ross from Friends, he's on the B list. Yeah, she'll have fun. She'll be there. fun with Ross. She's with Jim Gary.

She's with Kim Carrey. Jim Carrey and Jim Gary. And they're a fun little bunch. Chris Pratt as well. I don't argue the A list are all a bit of dicks. So Nicholas Cage is the last one we have to choose, boys. What are you guys seeing on the text machine?

We could send him to hang out with Alec Baldwin in the C list. No. They'd be pleased to see anyone. Go on in 60 seconds. Again, there's just so many goodies. Yeah, I think they're both Bs, unfortunately. Okay, Meg, I'm going to play a little clip And then you can make a decision while you quickly flip through.

One of these f***ing iguanas doing on my coffee table. They ain't no iguana. Yeah, there are. It ain't no iguana. What is that? Anguana. Clint, this is the most irrelevant clip you've ever played. Actually, that's made me want to put him in a C.

I want him to put him in a scene. No, that's been snake us. Okay. No. All right. Nicholas Gage is a B. Viola Davis is a B. Mariah Carey is an A.

That is the final list. She's the boss. Holy shit. You made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough, check out our only band, podcast that is. Rover, Music, Radio, Podcasts.
