Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. If you've ever sent a risky text and then throw on your phone across the room, you'll fit right in here. This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Good morning. It's one to six on your Tuesday. Good morning. Thanks for joining. Good to be here. Well, contractually you have to be, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Yeah. You know what? And next week is, so it's this week, next week and then a short week. So we're counting down, aren't we? Yeah, King's birthday. The last one before, the long. winter. I think that you wake to
Starting point is 00:00:35 no we have muttered in a key in July, Clint. Stop it. Clint thinks that June months is a long winter. Oh yeah. We went in July, beginning or end? It's mid, it's like it's 19th I think is.
Starting point is 00:00:52 I think that's right. So something like six, seven long weeks. Yeah. Seven long weeks. Big show today. We talked to our bridesmaid on the show that's gone viral over in Australia for having her the hem of her dress split
Starting point is 00:01:05 mid-wedding ceremony. It ain't the hem. The hem's the bottom part that touches the ground. It goes up the top, isn't it? The split of the dress. It gets a little higher than I think she wanted it to be. Turns out she was in Commando, even though the videos...
Starting point is 00:01:20 I've zoomed in and it looked like she was. Okay. Yeah. Of course, yeah. 7 at 8 o'clock, we'll take the edge off as well if you've registered. Just make sure you answer the phone will take the edge off my life.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Especially those at 7. Poor Shane yesterday. He was half asleep. Hey the edge. I'd love some cash to take the edge off because next dental visit, I need a filling in one of my front teeth because it's got a hole in it,
Starting point is 00:01:42 so it would be super helpful. Yeah, except unfortunately Shane, we didn't realize. Doesn't wake up pre-7, so when we called him, we woke the poor bugger up and he didn't answer the phone correctly. Yeah, he was like, hello? Oh, no, Shane.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Paul bugger, that would have ruined his day. Oh, wow. The edge. Clint, Megan Dan. Dan's got some news, a bit of an update on yesterday's situation after we found out that his son named Meg the orangutan.
Starting point is 00:02:11 I saw that got made into a video, thanks for that, Dan. Wow, to be honest, that wasn't my decision. I said, please don't make that into a video. Yeah, actually, I think I think our Webgeo Bella was asking for ideas. Actually, I think there is a message in our group chat saying what time. That was my decision. I briefed that.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Oh, you did that. Yeah, that was me. But I think Dan also doubled down on it. No worries, mate. Yeah. Anyway, so yeah, I went to the, my son and I play a game when we go to the zoo. We go quite often because we've got a year past, so we almost go like twice a week. Where we play, we name animals at the zoo of different people we know.
Starting point is 00:02:44 And Meg was the orangutan. He named it. And we went again yesterday. And I said to him, I said, do you want to rethink who Meg is? I think it's a table card. I know. Well, I said, Meg took it so badly, didn't she? She was so distraught.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Oh, that sounds like me. Yes, I really upset about it. Yeah, it just bawled my eyes out. Yes, yeah. And so I said, do you want to rethink it? And it took a lot of convincing because he was really convinced you were the orangutan tank. But then after a while, he decided to rename you
Starting point is 00:03:15 the Galapagos Tautus, which is near the... Is it an upgrade or a downgrade, Clint? Well, it's up to you to decide. It's very large. They're less exciting. They do move far less. Yeah, I think the ringtangings actually... They're a real highlight of the zoo.
Starting point is 00:03:31 You know what I would go as far as to say? Like Meg, they're the star of the zoo. You know, like you go for the orangutans. Don't you go, they were incredible. So now you're a massive tortoise. I think, I still think I, yeah, I think I prefer the tortoise than the orangutan. It was not offence to the monkey, but didn't you say that it like pooped right on here? Yeah, but that was a bit of a show, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:03:54 A bit of a showman. My mum messaged me yesterday, she's trying to buy tickets to The Wiggles who are going to be in New Zealand. and they're doing like Auckland, Wellington Christchurch in October. My mum's like, I can only get one ticket. It doesn't matter what I do. I can't seem to get any more. And they're like, they're like $100. I was like, to the wiggles.
Starting point is 00:04:10 It seems expensive. So I was like, leave with me. So I jump on Ticketmaster. 28 bucks each. How many do you want? Five. How do they do this? I get her a credit card and then I send it to it.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I go, there you go. And I'm like, what were you? What website were you on? How did that? Because my mum, the other day, we're thinking about going to Fiji for a family holiday. She's sitting 70. My brother's 20.
Starting point is 00:04:30 40 within the same month, very exciting. And she said, I'll shout Daisy to go. And she ran we and said, actually, I've changed my mind because Daisy's only 30 bucks, so there's no point. There's no way. Return to Fiji. Your daughter's four. So she's
Starting point is 00:04:46 like almost, like, I think the difference in an adult and a child price to the islands in Australia is like 10%. So she'd be still like a thousand bucks. I think she meant one way, but even then $60. I'm like, what sale have I missed? No, that's like when you pay extra for the exit row.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Yeah. I think she's in the baggage compartment for $40. Where have they chucked it? Yeah. Why is her mom up to you? And the fact that she even thinks that the airline with petrol prices could make any money charging $30 return for a four-year-old to Fiji. Well, I think it's because she was raised
Starting point is 00:05:18 in the 90s, obviously, and she used to do family holidays back then. And there was a deal where me and my brother went to America with them and we flew, stayed and ate free the entire time. So it was like they didn't pay a single cent for the children. So she's remembering days like that.
Starting point is 00:05:34 And she's like, oh yeah, $30 flights, that makes sense. Not with the fuel crisis at the moment. Grabber seats not thrown away airfares willy-nilly. Yeah. At the moment. We should take calls on that. Parent. Just like boomers and technology.
Starting point is 00:05:49 My mum once, well, it's not technology, but my mum once went up to a shop and asked for a plate of wedgies. So cute! I love her. Oh, darling. It was very long ago, I remember. She still calls the J.B. High-Fi, J-B. High-Five, doesn't she?
Starting point is 00:06:07 No, that's not my mum. No, she's not that, C-N. Oh, that was Dom. They're Dom's mum. J-B. High-Five. J-B. High-Five. Bless her. I know, bless her.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Okay, yeah, let's, okay. J-B. I'm just like, I love you guys. High-five. They're like, okay, why do you want to high-five? Let's do it like, just boomer drop balls. If you've got one, you go, oh my God, I've got a clang a few. for something mum or dad did back in the day.
Starting point is 00:06:32 But mum was very appreciative. And she's also up really quite early listening, so I hope she's not listening. I'm going to undo the good work that I did last night. One time we got our nana and your mobile phone, she kept turning it off every night because she thought you just turn it off when you go to sleep. Oh, Lisa.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Good on her, though. When she wasn't using it, you'd text them and she'd be like, why am you never texting us back? She'd just turn it off when she's not using it. Turn it on to call or text. It's probably better for us, to be fair. I'm so addicted to them. Oh, 800, there, Jlphir us a text 33-4-3.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Flint, Megan Dan. StinkyBid. First call of the day. First call of the day. We're talking boomers and their drop balls, especially when it comes to technology. And we've got Lauren join us this morning. Morning, Lauren. Morning.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Morning. So I was saying that my mum was struggling to buy Wiggles tickets for my niece. They're here in October, by the way, for any parents that want to take their kids along. Only under 12 months old is free. Otherwise they get you. You get free. You can get free. We're under 12 months old. Yeah. If you're a 2-year-old or a 42-year-old, you're paying the same amount of money.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Anyway, she struggled. Oh, 12 months? Okay, no, don't worry. I was just thinking if I wanted to go, but I think she should just get in. Oh, if you had a 13-month-old, the baby's not ratting out. You're true, okay. You're right, me. You're such a law-abiding citizen.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Okay, Lauren, what did your mum do? So my mom just thinks that because I'm under 30, I know everything and anything about technology. So whenever she's got an issue with her iPad or phone, anything, she just brings it to me. And then a couple weeks ago, she said, oh, my Apple Watch isn't working. Like, do you think you could have a look at it? And I was like, yeah, yeah, sure, whatever. She brings it to me, and the screen is fully hanging off the Apple Watch. Like, it's attached by one cord.
Starting point is 00:08:16 And she brings it over to me real casually, like, hey, do you think you could just fix this real quick? The screen was, like, hanging off. How did it? Did she explain how she did it? she said oh I think I knocked it on something and then like a week later she was like oh yeah
Starting point is 00:08:30 I knocked it on the door and I got caught on the door oh yeah it must have been a heavy knock of the screen is completely decoupled on the rest of the watch she said don't worry long or I'll be able to sort that
Starting point is 00:08:39 yeah yeah for me it's what's your mum like with passwords my mum's shocking oh the password book she's got the password book and I'm like
Starting point is 00:08:48 mum you can't yeah and if she can't remember she'll call Graham who's my stepdad and go can you look at the password book babe Flick through and he's like,
Starting point is 00:08:57 where, where? Do you know, when I used to work at a bank years and years ago, the amount of people that would, when they would ask for a new F-Post car because they'd lost theirs, and I go, there's your new car, they'd flip it over,
Starting point is 00:09:08 and I go, make sure you sign the back, they'd sign in front of you, and then they'd start writing their pin number on the back, and I was like, don't do that. No! So I were running their four-digit-pin on the back of their F-Post card. I used to work at a petrol station,
Starting point is 00:09:19 I remember there was a man that used to come, he was an older fella, and every time he'd fill up his car with gas, He didn't know how to use the thing and he'd tell me every time. You know, I'm a PIN number. Put it in. I had it like written down.
Starting point is 00:09:31 It's less. Hey, Lauren, I jumped on the Mocka website yesterday and had a geese and they had like 20% off site wide. So many cool pieces in that there. We'll send you a $100 voucher. You can go spend there. Find yourself something nice. Oh, awesome.

Starting point is 00:10:06 What are we guessing on this morning? It's extreme weather, highs and lows and temperatures. Because walking in this morning, it's suddenly starting to feel proper cold in Oakland. Do you know, single digits this morning? New Zealand? In Auckland? Nine degrees.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Really? Jeez, it was colder than a witch's tip. crush it and Otago are like, hold my beer at Auckland. He shouldn't be drinking at six. Yeah, true. Even I know that. Clint Megan Dan, Scandal. Seth Rogen has called out people who rely on AI
Starting point is 00:10:37 to help them write scripts and films saying that if your instinct is to turn to AI, you shouldn't be a writer. And young actress Gracie Cochran, who is playing Ginny Weasley in the HBO Harry Potter series, has released a statement saying she is leaving the production after season one due to unforeseen circumstances.
Starting point is 00:10:56 That's the ladies in scandal. It's all thanks to Moody by a Moody and Pro Team Bowl. Find a golden ticket and win $5,000 cash. 94-2. The Edge. The Edge. Clint Mega Dan. So just quit after one season into a contract of how many years?
Starting point is 00:11:09 It's like seven or eight years. It's a huge contract and it would have been pretty locked in so that it would have to have been a really big reason for her to just quit because they're filming it as if it's consecutive. It's all happening at once. Yeah, but I guess you can't force a 10-year-old to do something they don't want to do, right? At least it's just Ginny Weasley, the most boring character in it. Really?
Starting point is 00:11:30 Let's be honest. What is Ginny Weasley doing? Yeah, Ginny kind of comes more to play later in the years. But it is frustrating, I guess, for the, I mean, production that you're meant to be watching, and then there is going to be a character change. Yeah, true. I mean, it's a lot of money to walk away from, too, I'd imagine. Seven-year contract with one of the biggest franchises in the world.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Yeah, we might eventually find out what it was. I don't know if the realising. of just how famous she was going to be came. The spotlight's going to be on those kids for the next like 10 years, isn't it? Yeah, maybe get out earlier. All right, more or less, right after this,
Starting point is 00:12:01 Sabrina Carpenter on the edge. Clint, Megan Dan. And let's get into more or less different topic every morning. You just have to guess that the first option is more or less than the second. We're coming off the back of a poor performance, one from five.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Although we had a great week last week, Clint, where I think we got mainly five out of fives. We go, boys, you're ready? It is cold this morning for Auckland in Auckland. I hear it's minus two in gore. Jesus. Yeah, now that is proper cold.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Check that, Brittany. Minus two. Now we're doing the highest or the lowest temperature recorded in the city. Okay, so Paris or London? Who has the higher hottest temperature? Paris or London? Ever recorded. So hottest.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Ever recorded. I would actually say Paris. I was landing Paris, so let's go that. 42.6 degrees. God, that's hot. That's really hot. Yeah, London got 40.3. Which city recorded the colder temperature out of these two?
Starting point is 00:12:59 New York City or Toronto? Who got colder? Now, I've been in New York City before when in the middle of winter, and it was bone-chillingly cold. But you got hard to beat Canada. Yeah. Canada, I hear those guys sometimes, like, you have to plug your car in overnight because otherwise your oil freezers and it won't start or whatever. Okay, so do we go, but Toronto? Toronto, Canada?
Starting point is 00:13:17 I said Canada's colder. Okay, let's go that. Yep. 32.8, minus, sorry, minus 32.8 is the coldest. Wow, Sanka, what you're smoking? I'm not smoking. I'm breathing. Remember when they get out and... Vaguely, I guess.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Again, it's a reference that is not many people know about. But they're in Canada. Yeah. Anyway. Which city has the hottest recorded temperature, Tokyo or Sydney, who has been hotter? Oh, Japan is clocking. Yeah, Tokyo. In summer.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Although, no, just waiting for Sydney. get warm. Sydney, let's lock in Sydney. Yeah, Australia, 45 degrees. Wow. 45.8, Tokyo got to 41. Which city recorded colder? Berlin or Chicago?
Starting point is 00:14:02 Oh, Berlin. It's in Chicago where Macaulay Colkin goes and home alone. It's pretty cold. He wears gloves the whole time. I'd say Berlin would get colder. Then home alone too. That's how he's the... That's how you're working out.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Chicago looked pretty gold. That lady with the pigeons on had a lot of coats. to make an executive decision in here and say Berlin gets colder. That's incorrect. Bugger. Come on, the pigeon lady's had so many go. I think that's New York. That's lost to New York. But it was right. Somehow the
Starting point is 00:14:33 working out was wrong, but somehow he's still got it right. But doesn't go to Chicago? Is he meant to go? I think he's bought, like he lives in Chicago. That's where the house is. It's pretty cold. There guy shoveled snow most of the first one. It's not called Home Alone, Lost in Chicago. Okay. Or Chicago got minus...
Starting point is 00:14:47 That's right he goes from Chicago. Anyway. Minus 32.2.2. And you're going to get a little help with Lindsay on the last question. Lindsay, it's minus four where she is. Stop it, Lindsay. We're about to you, Lindsay. And I'm not a sheet. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:15:01 I'm not a sheet on the heat. Yeah, I apologize. We're about, say. I've just gone through white the heat, which is north of gore. Oh, yes. And it's, uh, it went from minus four to minus three to minus two. My goodness me. Let's get warm a minute.
Starting point is 00:15:16 That's enough to make you a she. My goodness. That's all in about probably four kilometres. Okay. Well, you can help out Lindsay with the final... And it's... Meg, stop talking all over him. Okay, the final question is...
Starting point is 00:15:31 Don't be rude. Your mother never thinks you not to be rude. Okay, don't talk to me like that. Which city recorded the higher, hottest temperature? Los Angeles or Rome. The hottest? Yes. Los Angeles or Rome.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Los Angeles or Rome. I would go Rome. Rome. hotter. I go Los Angeles. So let's go with me, Los Angeles. Correct. Yeah! Can you believe that that got to 49.4 degrees?
Starting point is 00:16:02 That's in 50. That's all like half of 100 degrees almost. What you said? My God. So it's half a boiling point. That would be so, so hot. Like, unbearable to be outside. Yeah, I don't think you would be going outside. I think that would be, you just think about all the people that are, I know there a lot of people homeless in Los Angeles. I don't know what would have happened there.
Starting point is 00:16:21 I mean, I was in the Gold Coast once when it was like 38 degrees or something, and that was unbearable. You got to stay inside, eh? Just go shopping in the mall. I don't think I've ever been in hotter than like 34 or 35. Crazy. All right, coming up next, Norty 640. This may be a scoop that we've stumbled across before even the new sites.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Stuff.com.Z, New Zealand Herald and others. But it turns out there is a specific website that is leaking users information. Oh, who's going to get most nervous about this, Clint? Probably Dan. Dad. Oh, piss off. Clint, Megan Dan. It's time to get naughty at 640.
Starting point is 00:16:56 I think Clint's rip the band-aid off for the people that should be nervous about a leak. Are they premium users? Do they have like an account? Yeah, yeah. That's what it sounds like. And this actually isn't, I will preface this by saying it's not on Herald and stuff and all those websites because I did a bit of a Google. But do you remember Duncan from married at first sight?
Starting point is 00:17:15 And he married, well, he's with that hottie Evelyn. That was like two seasons ago Yeah and Duncan was like the nice guy Huge chest Are they still together? He did, he does Yeah, it works out Yeah yeah not even
Starting point is 00:17:26 Yeah I'll go on them One of the success stories in it aren't they Beautiful couple Yeah they are Well he actually owns like a Cyber Security Company So maybe and he only posted this 8 hours ago
Starting point is 00:17:37 So maybe he's discovered something Before the rest of the world Has managed to write about it But it was leaked Back in December of 2025 And it seems they have another one Pornhub users, I've got some bad news for you. My name's Duncan. I'm founder of Cyber AI.
Starting point is 00:17:52 And unfortunately, if you're a premium user of Porn Hub, your viewing habits and search history might have just been leaked. So, Dan, what do you get if you're a premium user over a normal user? To be honest, why is anyone paying for premium? I don't understand. Yeah, well, what do you get? Why would you? I don't know. Should we ask Carl?
Starting point is 00:18:15 Carl, what do you get for premium? You'd have to clock the normal stuff surely to their knee in the count. Yeah, you definitely get an extra tear. You get extended videos. You also can start making requests, which is really cool. You do have the opportunity. Well, you get like a star system.
Starting point is 00:18:30 So, like, the more you watch and, like, you kind of, it's like a ranking. They've almost gamified porn, which is great. So you can keep going. You get exclusive deals. Like, if you want to access to... I think, you know, I think that's... Can you watch those ones where sometimes you're scrolling in that?
Starting point is 00:18:45 One of the best things is actually... Wow, he's doing really fantastic. My goodness me. He does a job well in the research that he does for us, doesn't he? Yeah, obviously he did that research. He doesn't actually have a premium account. Yeah, of course. It is interesting, though.
Starting point is 00:18:59 I always thought, like, if you're having to do the premium, you've clocked the free stuff, haven't you? Like, no one's going, oh, God, I've run out of free porn. Bagger, I'm going to have to start paying for it now. Yeah. You know? I mean, so I don't know this happened in December. It's happened again?
Starting point is 00:19:16 Well, according to Duncan, it has, so there should be a few nervous people if you've got a premium account. You think if you had a premium account, it'd be more secure. Yeah, yeah, I was about to say that. Wouldn't you be like, well, you should absolutely be protecting me more from premium? If my search history was released, I wouldn't be nervous about the explicit stuff. I'd be nervous about the stuff where I've Googled what, 60% of 100? Or like, you know, like that sort of stuff. Like, I googled something the other day where I was like, God, have Hannah ever found out that I was Googling this?
Starting point is 00:19:42 She'd be so ashamed. And it was literally like simple math. that's what it was. Over some of your Google. Not your latest search that you did for, you haven't used it? No, no, no. My Martin's just text,
Starting point is 00:19:57 porn is free? Martin, you'd be missing out, man. Yeah, but with the premium version, I hear that you do. Is he still going, by the way? Yeah, but that's only if you're into golden showers because of the site, and his car. Oh, God, he's still going.
Starting point is 00:20:10 There's some specific tear for that. Beware, I'm not sure even what you need to start doing, Stop doing. I think that's the golden cards. I don't think Carl's worried if his name's leaked. You know, like, I think he's all good. Leaking's the least of his worries. Oh, no, you should get that checked.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Roll model, something wholesome next. It's the end. Clint Megan Dan. One of my favourite shows, I've mentioned a few times over the last few weeks, is Love on the Spectrum. I'm late to the party. In fact, I've done it. I've done it so wrong.
Starting point is 00:20:39 I started watching season four, the latest one on Netflix. Then we loved the characters so much. We went back and watched three. And so then we started seeing some of the characters before they were all paired up. And then after that we watched two and now we're watching one. Honestly, Clint. You're in TV shows, at least you're watching it sooner than you watch Friends. He's watching it backwards.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Imagine watching Friends backwards. The only just finished Game of Thrones. To think of that, he just finished Game of Thrones like last year. Yeah, well there's this guy, Tyler and Madison, and they actually get married, which is really quite cool because they're engaged and stuff. I hope that's not a spoiler. But anyway, Tyler has this incredible talent where you can play a song to him, he'll tell you who the artist of that song is
Starting point is 00:21:17 and what key it's been sung in. This is his wife, Madison, quizzing him. Also know the key gets in and stuff like that too. What key, for example, is, man, I feel like a woman played in. B flat. What about Take Me on Country Roads by John Denver? Hey. That one's a classic.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Oh, yeah, I love that song. What about Code of Many Colors by Dolly Parton? B flat and then C. It seems cool you know all this. He's the nice, like, he's the type of guy that if you've got a daughter. I love medicine, so is he good? Yeah, he's amazing. If you've got a daughter, you want them to be with someone like Tyler.
Starting point is 00:21:49 So respectful, just a genuine, like, amazing guy who just loves Madison to death. Good, because she's a honey. Yeah, and he's just released his original country song. Oh, he must be good if he's good with pitch. Just, just released. On an old top water plug, kill the king. You skip through to the chorus? Yeah, go on.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Crazy and baby. He's done it. amazing bit of rhyming there. Country love baby and crazy. And country is not really, really clever at the best of times. Most of it's pickup trucks and beer and blue jeans and boots, you know. It is the easiest type of song to write via AI. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:23:12 Yeah, yeah, I can write a good country song. I think you can write a country song, but getting them good is hard. Yeah. And that's really, I really like that. Yeah, I love that he's obviously, he's realized, hey, I got a bit of fame off the back of Love on the Spectrum. I'm going to capitalize on this. I like doing music, and so now he's out there,
Starting point is 00:23:29 and people are getting him behind him. I think just because he's genuinely a really lovely guy as well, so everyone wants to see him succeed. I take my hat off to people that go on these reality TV shows, like, light glove on the spectrum, or any reality TV, and then make stuff happen after it. I think that's really cool that they do that, that they use their five minutes of fame to make something different.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Some do, eh, that window closes very quickly, and so the really smart ones work out how to leverage it before it closes. Oh, didn't he? areas. Yep. Some would say it was a bit of a lackluster. I think that kind of held him back, if anything, really well.
Starting point is 00:24:04 All right, we'll take the edge off your life next. If you've registered, make sure you answer. We'll take the edge off my life and we'll pay for whatever it is you're asking for. Clint Megyn Dan. Take the edge off my life. You can be winning. Whatever you need. Repair bill for my car to pass a waff.
Starting point is 00:24:22 A school fees. A vet bill for my son's kitten. Take the edge off my life. Yes! Money for the dentist. My rent. So we're a freezer up. Pay my $300 after they bill.
Starting point is 00:24:36 This is the washing machine I'm using now. But the worst part is... So I'm in desperate need for a new washing machine. Take the edge off my life. Yay! Take the edge off my life. That's how you want to answer the phone if we do call you. Not like Shane did yesterday, poor bugger.
Starting point is 00:24:53 We haven't had it not answer you. Hello? Oh, Shane. You're going to be gutted, my friend. It's Clint Megan Dan from the edge. You meant to say take the edge off my life. We're calling you to fix your tooth, mate. Have you just woken up?
Starting point is 00:25:07 Yeah. Oh, no good. He was gutted, won't he? Well, let's hope that Georgia is not in the same boat. She has two legends turning 21 in just under four weeks' time. Funds are low at the moment. So wanting some money to be able to put that towards decorations and food. Oh, yeah, they're expensive as well.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Oh, yeah. 300 bucks. Okay. It's early. Twins. Oh, no. It's run too many times. We're in trouble.
Starting point is 00:25:49 It's going to go to answer phone for the first time. We haven't had an answer phone, have we? We have to leave a message, don't we? Yeah, go on. Oh, it's Georgia. Ringback. Oh, Georgia. Georgia.
Starting point is 00:26:04 That's a lacklust of voicemail for starters, babe. It's called Megan DANG. You need to re-record that because that is depressing to hear. Oh, Georgia. We were giving you $300 for decorations and food for the 21st birthdays coming up. I am so sorry. You did not answer the phone.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Well, that's clear, because she's probably listening to this on her answer phone messaging. Yeah, yeah. Oh, well, Georgia. Would we have accepted if she'd redone her voice message going, hey, take the edge off my life. Georgia here, leave a message. That would be smart.
Starting point is 00:26:30 I think you'd still have to pay it. Maybe a little trick for new players if you have just recently registered. Oh, you can't say that because the boss's going to get mad, that everyone's going to put their vance machines. Is that Clinton doesn't work? You have to pick up the phone. So what you're saying is we can't award it
Starting point is 00:26:42 because she said, Georgia, leave a message. Sorry, Georgia. She literally best to have it the only time in her life to record it right when she woke up. Like, such a bizarre. We appreciate you, appreciate the registered Georgia. But unfortunately, rules are rules. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Oh. That was perfect timing. Just beat now? Savage. Savage. Rules of rules, Pep. To delete this message, press fire. Hey, there is somebody that's still.
Starting point is 00:27:10 wasn't being selected for Take the Edge Off My Life that I'm desperate to call. They need the money, I think, more than anyone. Let's look at their application next on Edge. Unfortunately, we just had a drop ball from Georgia from North Canterbury who registered for Take the Edge Off My Life, but didn't pick up. How many people do you think would have recognised her voice
Starting point is 00:27:29 or her story and then be texting her now? True, probably a few. Tanya, my thoughts exactly. She's just text through going, ah, why do people register? And then they don't listen at 7 and 8? Yeah. You'd be sitting an alarm every morning at 10 to 7, wouldn't you?
Starting point is 00:27:41 Yeah, I think the 7 one is definitely harder because I didn't know people slept in past 7. You know, I do. I think most people are still asleep. No, they are. Crazy, eh. Wow. Yeah, that's what 4 AM alarms over the last 10 years old do you. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Here's one, though, that you may have heard play in the, like, teaser trailers and stuff, and I keep waiting for that entry to be put in our desk to call and to save the day. And unfortunately, so far, it hasn't. But every time I hear it, I'm like, mate, this needs to be sorted. This is the washing machine I'm using now. This is a big 8.5KG washing machine that just broke on me a week ago. This one here is very small. But the worst part is...
Starting point is 00:28:23 It makes this terrible noise every time it rins and spins. So I'm in desperate need for a new washing machine. Oh gosh, that is so annoying. I actually quite like the sound of a washer machine or dryer going. It's quite comforting. That no. No, no, that sounds like a digger. It's awful.
Starting point is 00:28:42 So we haven't actually pulled her application out yet for seven and eight. You know what though, Fisher and Pichel or a Noel Leaming or Farmers, if you're listening, you go, yeah, we'll sort out with the... Magnus Ben-Roe. We'll help you let be good buggers. Yeah, I mean, just throwing it out there. You know, if you see an opportunity, you're driving away, listening. Actually, we could sort that out.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Samsung, they do washing machines and dry, so they. Stop shouting out too many in case we start shouting out the competition. Sorry. I used to love when we did the phoner, what's hanging on by a thread. Yeah, we haven't done that in ages. It's amazing the things that people will put up with if it's still kind of doing the job and they've had to find a workaround. Yeah, and the workaround does it, does the trick.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Yeah, and so then you find yourself doing the workaround for so long that it becomes just the new way of doing it. Here's some we've had in the past. So he's had this water blaster, and, Because the pool thing on it is no longer there, he needs to get out a drill and drill it to start it. So the door doesn't close properly, so we have to jam it. The kids have this balance board. And so we just jam it under the handle to hold the door closed.
Starting point is 00:29:56 So like if I'm in the kitchen and I'm cooking, I'm like, ah, somebody bring me the oven jammer. My lawn mower, the button that turns it on and off doesn't work. So I fill it with petrol and then I mow the lawns and then I park it outside my annoying neighbor's house and keep it running until it runs out of the bigot. You guys. That's one of my favorites. Her lawnmower doesn't have an off switch,
Starting point is 00:30:17 so she just lets it run into it runs out of fuel. Maybe we can get her a new lawnmower. Yep. Massport. Yeah, okay, yeah. Victor. Could do that? Yeah, Bosch.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Do Bosch to Loramas as well? Reobi do them. Oh, wow. Sorry, I'll stop listing grants. What do you have that's hanging on by a thread? Yeah, you just, you've found a new way of getting it to at least kind of do its function in a way that is working for the time being. Much like the washing machine, but that noise, you've got to leave the house when it's on its spin cycle.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Sometimes you've got no other choice but to just keep pushing on and using it. Yeah. You know? Unless someone comes to save the day. Like LG or Milay or Westinghouse. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. A lot of things people have requested cash for to take the edge off. One in particular is from Janine
Starting point is 00:31:10 because her washing machine When it hits the spin cycle Sounds like this It's a headache And we only have to listen to it for a couple of seconds So we randomly just before actually He said if you want to give her a washing machine And you're a brand
Starting point is 00:31:25 We'll free to do so We've had someone reach out behind the scenes So we're working on that So hopefully we'll have They DMDAN personally They're any way to slide into Mr Webby's DMs Oh yeah the amount of people That slide into these old DMs
Starting point is 00:31:40 But I just want to want to make sure they're not just trying to use this whole washing machine as a fast just to start messaging you. Start to getting your pans. Behind the scenes. This ride has closed me. You know that.
Starting point is 00:31:50 They're finding sneaky ways to try and do maintenance on it. We want to talk about what's hanging on by a thread like that washing machine. What are you having your life that you're just putting up with? And because you've found a workaround for it, duct tape or something that you have that kind of makes it work, but it's not amazing. You can fix anything with duct tape. Actually, someone said that their car is 47.3% duct tape at the moment.
Starting point is 00:32:12 That must be passing safety ratings then, no, no. Here's another one. My car door won't latch. So to hold the door shut, I have to loop my seatbelt in through the door handle before I click it in. That's not getting a warrant. And that's, yeah, that's not safe, I can't imagine. Terrible!
Starting point is 00:32:28 From Taylor, my in-laws have an oven that works, but it only works when they use a chair and two buckets of paint to hold the oven door closed. Buckets of paint? Yeah, so a chair and then two buckets of paint to keep the door closed. True, somebody else said they've got a fridge,
Starting point is 00:32:44 albeit like a garage fridge, like an old one. And they use a door leaned up against the fridge to keep the door shut because the seals are gone. You've got duct tape. Just put a little bit of duct tape on the side. True, but maybe the peeling on and putting it back on, the chair's just easier, I guess.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Yeah, it is. And sometimes you sit there and go, wait, how much is it going to be to fix or replace? Yeah, cheers free. It's fine. It's fine. My shower only has two settings. freezing or volcanic?
Starting point is 00:33:12 Oh, I like volcanic, though. That's, I like to burn my skin off, basically. Someone else's text through is saying they've got a 200 square meter backyard. Their lawnmower broke recently, and so they're having to weed eat the whole thing. Oh, that's... So they've got a working weed eater, but not a lawnmower. We tried to get Sammy on, but we can't grab us, so we'll read out her text. I'm a teacher, and my laminar gets jammed every time.
Starting point is 00:33:35 But I've mastered using a ruler and a pin to get things through. Is a laminar that much of an essential? For a teacher, yes. Has there bread of butter? It's like our microphones. I never got laminated shit when I was at school. How many people can relate to this? We get a broken window.
Starting point is 00:33:49 And this person said, my youth, I just thought, I'll just duct tape that up with a bit of a rubbish bag and I'll sort that next week. Been almost two years. Yeah. I think if you've been doing it two years, you may as well just sit and do it for the rest of your life, right?
Starting point is 00:34:01 Yeah, yeah. Here's a couple of other faves that we've had as well. My partner dropped his phone at work in the entire screen, shatted, so he plugs the phone into the TV. and it's like a mouth or something into the TV so he can use his phone with the mouse and the TV. Our oven's not level, and my partner's mum came over and went to open up the oven the other night,
Starting point is 00:34:21 and the drawer came out by itself, and she goes, oh, you've got a flash oven. Have a tilt garage door at home that's a bit jammed. The handle's down below my knees, so what I have to do is use both hands to grab the handle, then I have to use my forehead to push the top to open it. I've been doing it for seven years. Yes!
Starting point is 00:34:38 Big yes! Just get used to it. Someone else. I'm just a bit before we move on, someone's driving their car to work at the morning, holding their door. Holding it closed. Because the latch is broken.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Do the seatbelt trick that the other person was doing. Yeah, there's a hack for you. All right, up next, am I the only one? Or is it just a damn thing? Yeah, this is something that I think a lot of people are doing. It's to do with online shopping. I've never heard of anyone do this before. Oh, Meg, you do it.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Me and you do it. Very similar. In fact, when I saw you talk about it, I was like, that I feel so seen. We'll talk about it next. I reckon most of the nation is doing this. Just go on quarter past seven on your Tuesday, Clint McGandandand, the Edge. Clint Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:35:25 I need people on the phone right now. Oh, 800 the Edge. Doesn't matter who you are, where you are in the country, just call. Oh, 800 the Edge. I want to know if I'm the only one doing this. Play Shopping. I like to call it. It's one of my favorite things to do, Dan.
Starting point is 00:35:43 I knew you'd be a fan. I knew you'd be a fan. It's where you go online and maybe you might be perusing for something, whether it be a piece of technology, clothes. I do it a lot with clothes. I'll go on like Culture Kings, Hellenstein Brothers. I do skincare and makeup.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Skincare and makeup, but you're a perfect example. Well, you go onto a website, like Sephora or whatever, you load up your cart with stuff that you want. I'm like, oh, get a bit of that, Laura Mercierge. Anastasia Beverly Hills, put it in, pop, pop, pop. Speaking a different language. Yeah. Then you go to checkout.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Yeah. And you realize that the stuff you put in your card adds up to $770.70. Yeah, and then they say shipping's 12 bucks. They go, nah. Actually, free shipping. I'm sorry. I'm spending over 100 bucks, free shipping, please. Anyway, and then I just exit out and forget about it because $770.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Nobody got time of it. And then about two days later, you get this patronizing email from the company going, oh, have you forgotten something? Or, oh, did you know you've got seven items in your cart? Oh, your car's still waiting for you? Yes, I do know. And I was going through a moment when I put those all in my car, and now I'm over it. Go away.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Don't remind me, I can't afford them. So it was the idea that you do that and then go away. And if you still are thinking about it two days later, then you obviously did want it and you go back and buy it. You never have any intention of buy it. No, the reason I do it is because it almost makes me feel like I've purchased it. That act of going, add to cart. Window shopping. For some reason, almost makes me feel validated like I've purchased the product.
Starting point is 00:37:10 There's something cathartic about it. It never shows up at the door and you never get to wear it, but it scratches the itch. James the Texas scene, this is just sad. Oh, really? James, it must be nice to have the money to buy $700 worth of vitamins from Sephora. James just doesn't go and add $700 to cart because he knows he can't in the first place and he's wasting his time doing so. I know. We can't be alone.
Starting point is 00:37:32 I think companies as well can see the back end so they can see people see their carts that are full. and I think some companies even sometimes surprise people and go, right, I'll ship everything that you've got in your car. Yeah, Charlotte's on 0-800-the-edge. Now, Charlotte, you are with us on this. Yeah. Yes, it's my favourite thing to do in the whole world.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Yeah, I'm with your sister. Liz, I reckon this... I sit at night time, like, watching Netflix, and in the background, I'm just adding stuff to cart. Yeah, and what's your favourite website to add cart to? Probably Mecca. Yeah, Mecca. Yeah, Mecca is...
Starting point is 00:38:08 full at all times. And I actually just bought my... It's probably up to like a $4,000 voucher. My friend just had her birthday and I got her a voucher. She said, oh good, the cuts loaded. So I think Charlotte, though. Oh, she just disappeared. She just hung up.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Oh, my God. She's made her nervous. Meg just hit the boost button. So you're just being boosted with a $500 war waste voucher and you hung up. Oh, Charlotte, call back. Charlotte, I wanted to pay for your groceries so you could get some of your mecca. Yeah, every day reward. App is right here.
Starting point is 00:38:44 Charlotte, you there? For me, edge. Yes, I heard that sound and it freaked me out. Why don't you freak you? She's like a boost button. I was just paying for your grocery so you can buy something from me. Yeah. You got a $500 war worst voucher, Charlotte.
Starting point is 00:39:03 No way. Yeah. No way. Oh, thanks of Woolworths and Everyday Awards. She's like a little raccoon that's just scared of big noises. So what you can do there is use that to pay for your groceries and then use the money you would have spent on them on your mecca cart. You're lying.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Oh my God, it's my mum's birthday tomorrow. I'm going to give it to her. Oh, that's so lovely. You can be like, Mum, I paid for your groceries for a couple of weeks. Yeah, make sure you boost in the app and scan your card to turn 2,000 points into a $15 voucher. But cool, but more, bringing the boost to the edge for the next couple of weeks as well. Someone else has text us through, which is an interesting little hack. Apparently if you leave your items in a cart for long enough, they send you a discount code.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Stacey, is that right? Yeah, no, I've had that happen quite a few times. And yeah, it's a good little hack, actually. It's either like a 10% off or free shipping. They're showing their desperation. They're like, you still want this because we'll give you 10% off, please. That's a great hack. Please, please.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Get them out of your cart. That's not bad. How long do you generally have to wait for, Stace, before you get the email with a 10% off discount code? A couple days, but, you know, I just do it. all the time. Okay, so don't crack. You've got to play hard to get for 48 hours. That's smart. Thank you, Stacey. That's a little thing for everybody. There's so many people texting through saying they do the same thing. Wow. Glassens, different places. Hey, sauna in the corner is what we're calling it. It's happening next.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Call 0800 the edge right now for your chance to crack open the Nutrigena Vault and win it all. The Nutragenia Vault, by the way, is an infrared sauna. So you win that as well as everything inside. if you can crack the code next. Clint, Megan Dan. Let's go! Call 0800 the edge right now for your chance to crack open the NutraGener Vault and win it all.
Starting point is 00:40:50 It's currently locked in studio, packed with collagen banking, skin boosting goodies. You'll win everything that is there, including the infrared sauna, that's holding it all. If you can guess, the four-digit pin
Starting point is 00:41:01 and unlock the Nutrigena Volt. All right, playing this morning is Nikita. Hi, Nikita. Hi, Nikita. Good morning. So you're one of the first to guess the pin here, so you're sort of, it's uncharted territory. Uh-huh. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:41:18 But you know, crazier things have happened. Oh, gorgeous. You know? Yeah. Are we going with a random four-digit number or does it mean something to you? I've gone with my birthday. Okay, well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:30 So what is the number, the four-digit pin you're wanting me to try into the vault? One four-09. One-409. Okay. Okay, do you want me to just give it a go now? Give it a go. Here we go. Come on then.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Okay. Baga. No, that is the sound of... Sound of... Well, not getting into the vault. That's what it sounds like, unfortunately. I don't know what it sounds like when you do get in. I'm hoping it's like a more positive...
Starting point is 00:41:59 Okay, let's go through your numbers. The first one. Oh. The second number you put in was a four. Oh, you go on. Oh, okay. The third number you put in zero. And the last one.
Starting point is 00:42:13 last time you put in was nine. Okay. Oh, at least you got one. That's pretty good. That's not bad. Not in Nikita. You've made it easier for other people if that happened. Yeah, they're so charitable.
Starting point is 00:42:22 You're an ecesthetic person. Yeah, you can text Volt to 3343 for all the details. But first one to unlock it wins the sauna and everything included. Stronger collagen plumber skin with Neutrogena collagen bank. Same time tomorrow, we'll give you a crack at it. Nice one. Coming up next, Meggy was talking about her in Scandal. Yeah, Gracie.
Starting point is 00:42:40 She plays Jenny Weasley in the new HBO Harry Potter series. if you want to be an actor probably the gig of a lifetime to be winning the role but she's quit after one season and she's supposed to have been locked in for seven years yes all right more on this next
Starting point is 00:42:57 Clint McGahn 21 to 8th we'd love to hear from you if you're an early quitter Clint Megan Dan Clint Megan Dan Stunky Buss Sad I don't know if it's sad news I don't know why they made the decision
Starting point is 00:43:12 but obviously Gracie's family who the little girl that was cast as Judy Weasley for the HBO Harry Potter season. Like seven or eight seasons upcoming. She's like 10 years old. They have quit after one. Now, I'd imagine there must be something behind the scenes
Starting point is 00:43:29 where they've gone, oh, there's too much fame here. We didn't expect it to win this. Wait, wait, too much fame. Isn't Ginny Weasley Ron's sister? Yes. It's not Hermione. No, I know. How big is Ginny's part?
Starting point is 00:43:41 Well, for some reason, I already had seen it, People had become quite obsessed with Gracie quite quickly. There are thousands of videos of montages that people have made. Of her when she's younger, of her now, of her audition, like, montaging them together. Like, people have become obsessed with her straight away. Why? I thought she has a bit part. Well, no, you've only seen the movies. You've not read the books right.
Starting point is 00:44:04 She's a bigger part in the books. She's quite a heavy part in the books, to be fair. And people are being quite mean. What do you mean? Well, she marries Harry in the end. Spoiler alert. Harry's. Harry, you're a wizard Harry.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Like, who's gone? Honestly, the fact that you're making yourself look like an idiot here. No, I don't have, it doesn't, I'm not an idiot because I haven't seen Harry Potter. I don't think that's how they work out if you're a smart or intelligent person. No, I do. Wait, so she becomes Mrs. Potter. She becomes Mrs. Potter. So the role was only going to grow.
Starting point is 00:44:36 And I have no idea why maybe mum's sick, maybe dad's sick, maybe something has happened. She's like she can't act anymore because she needs to focus on family. or, you know, they kind of realize how big the monster was when she actually got cast. She has not even an episode has been released and people would be making fan pages of this 10-year-old. But don't you think, I mean, I know we're just speculating that might be the reason.
Starting point is 00:44:57 When your kid is auditioning for a role with there's thousands of girls and it's a franchise like Harry Potter, you would be like, it's going to be a big deal. So it's probably not that reason. I sit there and go, that's what I would probably be taking my kid out for. But I also don't think I'd be entering my kid in for things like that. Do you know, like, because my daughter was wanting to get into acting. And, you know that Megan movie?
Starting point is 00:45:18 You're in a movie, with it? She's, like, right at the start of it, that AI movie, and she did a couple of ads. And then just went off it. She got sent a script, didn't want to do it, didn't want to audition for it, didn't want to read, the script at all. And so I wonder if, you imagine as a parent where she's landed this role, you know, she's going to get opportunities off the back of the fame of something like this, and the money as well that she'll end up banking away from age of 10. but if your kid doesn't want to do something and you're a good parent, you don't force them
Starting point is 00:45:46 to do it. Unless there's lots of money involved. Well, Harry Potter money might be, you might encourage them a little bit. Yeah, I know. I think I honestly think eventually we'll find out what the reason was. I sat there and I felt icky with seeing
Starting point is 00:46:00 how many videos were made. I can only imagine parents going, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why is this person somewhere in Greece making a video of my 10-year-old daughter with love hearts and fire emojis. Like it's, you know, it's really messed up to have to look at. And is that worth the money?
Starting point is 00:46:17 I don't know if that's why they've done it. I mean, there'll be people that have lasted in a job less than her. I mean, she still filmed the first season, right? So she is playing Ginny for the first season. Yes, she is. They're going to have to do that classic thing they used to do in home and away where they just swap out the actor? And you're like, hold on, that's not them.
Starting point is 00:46:31 They just start calling them like Ginny in this thing, and everyone's like, whoa, what's going on? And then I guess after a few episodes, you just get on with it. You forget about it. You would indeed. Should we talk early quitters? You might have had a good reason Yeah
Starting point is 00:46:42 Oh I love this game Where somebody like had the job And they were there for like three days Yeah You're just like I think better to work out It's not for you super early And stay in it
Starting point is 00:46:52 For a punishing Amount of time And just hate life And hate your job If you know it's gonna be a bad job On week one Then you may as well It's not gonna get any better is it
Starting point is 00:47:02 I think I've told the story I quit on day one In one job Yeah Where was that? That was our The breeze That's why she's here
Starting point is 00:47:09 What is Dave there, baby? Clint, Megan Dan. We're talking early quitters, though. Yeah, so the young actress for the HBO Harry Potter series, Jenny, has quit after one season for unforeseen circumstances. I'm sure we'll get more details later. We want to know when have you quit early on in the game. About the vegetarian that I was working at a restaurant.
Starting point is 00:47:30 First day, they were asked to de-veined prawns. I left at Smokko. Oh, God, that must be an intricate job, because the veins of a prawn would be small. No, that's quite easy to debate porn. Is it that black thing that runs up the back? And if that makes you funny, then you're not going to be able to do the other prep, I imagine. A similar one to Adam who worked in a kitchen also. He was grabbing some food and it fell on the floor.
Starting point is 00:47:53 He threw it in the bin and they yelled at him because they didn't put it back on the plate and give it to the customer. Yeah, out there. Shocking. That's disgusting. Where is this in New Zealand? First day at a petrol station, someone tried to pay for siggies with a live eel. I took that as a sign This wasn't my ideal job
Starting point is 00:48:13 How many things are going to get for this eel? Where I need more information? Where in the country was that? What do I do with it? Is it a pet? That was like before there was currency. Maybe eels were currency. Okay, hi, Jasmine.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Morning. Morning, Jasmine. Did you try to pay for something with an eel? Or is it a different story? No, it's a different story. Completely different. Where did you quit us? How long did you live?
Starting point is 00:48:39 last? Three days. Must have been bad. What happened? I was desperate for a job because I was pregnant, so I was trying to make some extra money. And I went to work at one of the movie theaters, and on the second day, they made me go and clean the toilets, and I was like, absolutely not. Wait, did they know you were pregnant?
Starting point is 00:49:01 No, it was in the early stages. I went from, like, working, yeah. I was looking for an admin job, but I had... It's not like the fact that they made you do it. I think it's the fact that you were like, I have to clean toilets and I'm in my early first trimester. Yeah, I can imagine. But I wonder if, Jasmine, you could have got out of that role
Starting point is 00:49:20 being like, I'm doing, dealing with a bit of morning sickness and the toilets thing's just really making it tricky. And you might have got a... I was like news, so... Yeah, that's true. I think they took advantage of the newsies, you know? Yeah, I get you to clean the toilet. No, thank.
Starting point is 00:49:34 You're like, man, I'm just here to put popcorn in the boxes and print out the tickets and say Cinema 5 on your ride. Okay. Same thing. Zara, when did you quit? How early on? Good morning. I quit on the first day.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Okay. Day one. And what did they make you do? That was so bad. Well, so I worked in a cafe but the cafe shut down, but it was connected to a chocolate factory. Okay. And so me and my co-worker got put in the chocolate factory. And she was like lining boxes with paper.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Yeah. And she got told that she was doing them. wrong and you know as a friend I was just like oh no and then I was sticking stickers on and she said um I wouldn't be laughing because you're the slowest one here and then I quit oh okay well Zara it does sound a chocolate drink and we stick up a little bit for the factory because oh no I'm J-Dara Zara and a friend we're standing next to each other complaining going what are we doing here but like lightning chocolate she's like this is nothing like Willie Wonka in the books yeah good on you Sorry, you kind of knew what you wanted.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Maybe you could have bribed them with an eel or something. It's wild. My goodness. Someone else said, they were working at a bakery and the boss said, you need to be here at four. They realized, they showed up at four, but then it turns out the boss said every day at four. And they're like, you've got to be joking. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:50:55 Oh, they thought it was like a one-off. One induction. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Then at 6 a.m. for the rest of it. Yeah, no, yeah. No, no, no. Every time. Your baker's crazy.
Starting point is 00:51:03 4 a.m. start. That's early. There's no social life during the week for you. I think 4 a.m's a late start for a baker. I think a lot of them are up at like 3 a.m. Yeah, God, yeah. What is this one? We had a guy last 15 minutes at work.
Starting point is 00:51:17 He's now known as the 15 minute guy. I would love to know. He's forgot his name. Fless. Yeah. Sometimes you just turn up and you go, this is not for me. This is not me. Dan would love to be called the 15 minute guy.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Oh, my goodness me. I'm called the three-minute guy at home. That's on a good day Take the edge off next If we call you That is how you have to answer the phone Take the edge off my life And we'll pay for whatever it is your ass
Starting point is 00:51:42 Clint Meg and Dan For the Hit the Spot fans back on Friday are you Yes apparently Yeah we're doing it Okay watch the space Between the formative ages of 13 and 18 A young Dan Webby sat down Every night to write a diary
Starting point is 00:51:55 And now the contents of those diaries Are for us to read And for the nation to enjoy This is Dan's diary Meg reads it. This is the first time I've heard it in probably 20 years. Yeah, you wouldn't have read it back, would you? No. You took it so quickly when we found it that I hadn't had to have a chance.
Starting point is 00:52:13 Went to Madagana for the weekend with Mark and Steph. Spend all of Saturday at Goat Island. Saw heaps of fish. It was a marine reserve for those who don't know. Saw heaps of fish, including a stingray and an eel. Swam out to Go Island to see if there were any goats. didn't see one. That's right, I remember it, because we were like, why is it called Goat Island?
Starting point is 00:52:35 There's a little island off, like, where the Marine Reserve is. It's like a beach. And I remember we're swimming out there, and we were like, there's no goats on here. Why is it called Goat Island? Steph's friend let me borrow her snorkel so I could breathe underwater. But the mouthpiece tasted like garlic, so I didn't end up using it. It's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Oh, that is my worst nightmare. Ew! Why would I write that in a diary? But that is so your worst nightmare that you're like, Right, great, a snorkel put it in. Yeah, like, ugh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:04 You don't want to be able to taste what they've eaten when you're sharing your snorkel. I remember you could hire them at Goat Island as well. Like, who's hiring a huge, like, gals of the people to put that in their mouth? It's so true, Dan. I've only ever used the ones at resorts or hired, but when I think about it, yuck. You know, when you used to go bowling and they'd make you wear the shoes, maybe some places still do? And they'd spray them afterwards.
Starting point is 00:53:27 I think they're doing more, like, um, like, like, care after the fact with bowling shoes than they are snorkels and you're right it's going in your mouth I don't see them boil them I don't see them cleaning them they just like dry off but even if they do wash them like you don't know what scummy persons put that in their mouth you bite down on them and you're just breathing all the way up the tube yeah and the condensation that probably turns into a liquid and runs back down into your mouth yeah it's been in the steps garlicky stayed up later went kiwi spotting in the reserve was hoping to see at least one kiwi
Starting point is 00:54:00 but all we saw was a moth suck that's a suck it's not even like second best it's not like you go at least we saw a moth that's like nothing there was also a sleeping duck so I guess there's something oh yeah so a moth and a sleeping duck
Starting point is 00:54:16 would have seen a kiwi if Steph wasn't munching on a packet of grain waves the whole walk oh that's why she's got garlicy breath God, that explains it Oh my God, you're going on a Kiwi walk And she goes, oh, I have some grain waves It's been nice
Starting point is 00:54:31 You're supposed to be so quiet Hey What they hell? You would have been so upset with that I would have been literally going She's really pissing me off Once she's on the Kiwi walk Just like the most
Starting point is 00:54:40 The loudest snack Greenwaves Came home Sunday night And Simon, your brother Cooked a gluggy pasta bake Went to bed hungry without dinner Not a great weekend Worst weekend ever
Starting point is 00:54:52 Not a great weekend goats on the island, garlicy mouth, grey mobs, sort of mothed in a sleeping dark nightmare. You know people are supposed to do gratitude journals and stuff and you write down the thing? Dan was just writing all the stuff he was angry about. There's nothing that you were grateful for. It was like an
Starting point is 00:55:07 anti-gratitude journal, wasn't it? Yeah, you were just looking for the things that pissed you off throughout the day but, you know, we love you for it now. Yeah. We do. Very, very exciting though. There was something else that was found that actually, we weren't even looking for, when we're looking for a diary in Dan's mum's attic. We've kept it very quiet.
Starting point is 00:55:23 It is another book filled with something. The thing is we don't even really know much about it, because Meg again, has kept it very close to her chest. I have indeed. Yeah, well, she's giving me a little flick through, and it's something that we want to start on Monday. You don't know too much about Dan, but I don't think you're going to get too much of a say, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Oh, brilliant. I'm just along for the ride, like the rest of us. Georgie Bell has gone viral for, I was going to say, all the wrong reasons, but, I mean, hilarious reason. She stole the thunderer at her best friend's wedding By doing like a backwards worm And her dress split From probably her hamstring
Starting point is 00:56:01 All the way up to her mid-back Exposing everything To all of her family and friends And she's now gone viral And she's all over the TV in Australia Super viral She's been interviewed on like breakfast television Over in Australia
Starting point is 00:56:14 I think over in the UK as well She was on She's gone viral And Dan somehow found the story of this woman in her bare bum. And even when he sent through the note, he goes, this is her Instagram. Dan?
Starting point is 00:56:28 I've had her TikTok as well. She has gone completely viral on the internet around the world. I don't know if it's for the best reasons. I mean, it's legendary. I think she's great. Georgie, good morning. Hey, Georgie. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:56:42 How are we? Georgeie. A little bit of back story for people who haven't seen it. You're a bridesmaid and you and somebody else decided to do a worm very, impressive during a dance floor situation when your bridesma's dress split and not only did it split but you were kind of bum to the audience so the other guy was my brother actually and we had to do an entrance for it and we thought we started with a cart wheel as a pre-warm-up and it ripped already and i said we'll leave the cartman to go straight into the worm but i don't know how to do a forwards
Starting point is 00:57:17 worm so i had to turn backwards and then it just split straight up my crack and i went oh well what was the moment you noticed that it had happened because did you know as soon as you were in the worm and you just kept committing or did you get up after you thought everyone was like cheering for you but really and then there's all I whispered in the air. No, I know my worm's not actually that impressive so I knew as soon as I bent down that it blew open and I went well I can't not do it because that's even worse so I just pushed through. Georgie can I ask because I've seen the video. This is a personal question. Were you wearing undies?
Starting point is 00:57:50 Yeah, look, come on. Of course I was. That's nice. at someone's wedding. A girl, that's what I said, you would have been wearing, I mean, some sort of like seamless or G or whatever you need,
Starting point is 00:57:59 but of course you're not going to commando at a wedding with a split up the back. You just never know, do you? No, no. You never know, but I don't think I'd ever pull it out there if I did go to Amanda. 8.4 million views and rising. What's been the funniest sort of reaction
Starting point is 00:58:13 that you've seen online have you've been going through the comments? Oh, look, I was going through the comments at the start, and then it's just got too much and I can't really sieve through, but most of the time it's just a fair few people have hit me up to actually come to their wedding to do the way. Just the groom.
Starting point is 00:58:29 So I guess I can start making money that way. But other than that, it's just some people are really disturbed by and some people think it's great. So it's a bit of a mixed bag. And what did your best friend Ellie think? So it was her wedding and some people may have thought that you've stolen the show somewhat. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Well, Elle didn't know that it happened And when her and Josh came through, they thought, Josh picked up my shoe and it's like, why has someone lost the shoe? And then we watched the video back and she thought it was the funniest thing in the world. And grandpa's almost had a heart attack. And it's all good guy. She was all for it. Older elderly would have had an absolute shocker.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Yeah, how have your followers grown on Instagram since? Oh, they actually haven't skyrocketed that much. But I've had like a meal plus people. come onto my page. And he's the people message me and stuff. Yeah, it's been wild. Just a small town girl as well, so it's pretty funny, but I don't mind. And also, not like you bloody planned it.
Starting point is 00:59:32 You know what I mean? It's more like... Well, I don't want a victim blame, but I've never seen anyone do the worm ass forward. Yeah, you've got to work on that one. Who got a front row seat to it? Probably about five metres away. Grandpa was on the right. My best mate was at the front, and on the left was just all of the...
Starting point is 00:59:51 the friends about my age. And sorry to your brother as well, because they would have gone viral and everyone's like, there's your sister. Which is like, oh, it's just not what anybody needs, I imagine. He's been putting it all over his story. He's just waiting to his father. How good. I love it.
Starting point is 01:00:06 Must be a great family. Yeah. Oh, thanks, Georgie. Yeah, absolutely. Thanks so much, guys. So it doesn't sound like Georgie stole the thunder. No. Because her friends, you know, finding it quite funny. The bride. Have anything, I think she made the wedding.
Starting point is 01:00:17 Yeah. Everybody's like, oh, it was such a great wedding. Did you see Georgie? God. We'd love to talk to Thunder Steelers, or if you have one at your wedding, and you're like, what do you think you're doing? Yeah, maybe on the, we're leaning towards more of a bad Thunderstelor, eh? Like the drunk uncle that made the speech.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Yeah. Or someone proposing at your wedding? I think that's okay, if it's been pre, I guess, requisite with the bride. I'd be kissed. Really? Yeah, if you've arranged it with the bride, then cool, but if you're just out of the blue, did you? Hey, of all the days, man, find a different one.
Starting point is 01:00:47 Okay, Thunder Steelers, have you got a story? Yeah. Maybe like someone of like Some argument happened At the ceremony You know between your uncle And your mom or something Why is it always an uncle?
Starting point is 01:00:59 It's always an uncle or an auntie Well Kelly just texts At least Georgie had a great butt We didn't notice Kelly's seen the video Oh did she? It's the look again Clint Megan Dan
Starting point is 01:01:09 It's Clint Megan Dan We want to know Who the Thunderstealer was at the wedding Just had Georgie on Who's going viral at the moment She's an Australian Who ended up doing A worm
Starting point is 01:01:20 ass first and her dress split all the way out to her back exposing quite a lot of herself Yeah, she'd previously done a handstand practicing, eh? And that had already started the split. Yeah. So it was a risky manoeuvre. Yeah, that's what I find really funny because she said I did the handstand, it started to split,
Starting point is 01:01:36 so I thought, I'll just stick with the worm. And I thought that's a funny decision. All the boys at my brother's wedding, or the groomsmen, we kind of stole the thunder a little because my brother wanted to arrive by helicopter. So he surprised all of the girls. groomsmen. We didn't know we were going to arrive by helicopter. But it turns out the helipad was unbelievably close
Starting point is 01:01:56 to the venue that we're going to get married. And their flowers and everything all blow over. All the old ladies are holding onto their hats and their hairs all dishevelled. And we're just like slowly landing and go, oh God, oh God. Someone sticks through saying, I went to a wedding with Clint, who was the celebrant and he ended up doing a harker at the bus trip. Is that true? I've heard rumors.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Unfortunately, unfortunately, no video footage. No one's too. How convenient, eh? All right, let's go to Kristen. Kristen, Kristen. Were you the person that stole the show at the wedding? Yes, I would say so. It gets brought up, like, it's been 20 odd years now, so.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Oh, no. So you were a young child at the time. What happened? Yes, so I was four years old, and I was the flower girl. And as my auntie and her now ex-husband were saying their vows, I shouted out, oh, no. I've pissed myself. Brilliant.
Starting point is 01:02:54 That's great vocabulary for a four-year-old, I will say. Yeah. I love that still as an adult, people still haven't let you forget. Yeah, I know, I know. You're four. I know. A four-year-old would be able to say that. That marriage was doomed from the start, wasn't it?
Starting point is 01:03:09 Someone else, the groom's auntie wore an almost identical dress to the bride. I imagine it was just white. But she kept saying great minds. Great minds. Every time she saw the bride. Great minds. Anybody that wears white to a wedding is a piece of work. That is just the one thing you don't wear, right?
Starting point is 01:03:27 Yeah, I saw her mother-in-law do it on a tactile video the other day, and it was like a silvery white, and the dress was from a wedding store, and she got cut off from the family, the son cut her off. And you know what? It's not spoken to her since. Maybe cut-off's a bit far, but I'd also... Craven. I know, I thought it was mad too.
Starting point is 01:03:44 I was like, wow, that was quite a bold choice. That must have been cherry on top. This one says, my now husband's cousin announced her pregnancy during the speeches. She wasn't even showing and she wasn't supposed to be doing a speech. Leave the announcement
Starting point is 01:03:57 to another day when it's not about you. Sounds like she's not over that. Oh, my God, rogue speeches. When they open the floor and they say, anybody else want to do a speech and then you get the drunk up
Starting point is 01:04:06 and they go for about 20 minutes. It's the worst. Okay, let's go to Kerry. Morning Kerry. So this was the in-laws that stole the focus. It was. What happened?
Starting point is 01:04:16 Yes. My father-in-law called my dad an asshole at the wedding over a car he had sold them while they were desperate and had no other means of transport
Starting point is 01:04:31 Oh God, this again Like this is the sort of thing you leave to after the wedding That's such a mess for the kids That had become like a full on like argument And fight throughout the whole wedding My dad just walked away Because it was my day And he didn't want to make a bust over anything else
Starting point is 01:04:49 Fair enough Good dad, I guess, you know, like you just got to take things on the chin when it comes to. I don't know, you just don't want to take any drama in the day. There's dramas and families at the best of times, but when they all gather, it's not often they all gather in one place, you know? So I guess things are bound to happen. Clint Megadhan. All right, we've got the A-list list coming up next, but also pondered this one for the next few minutes. A new study says you need to go on vacation, how often to recover from work stress.
Starting point is 01:05:19 Oh, Clint, you'll be. you'll be doing that. You'll be bringing up the average. Another excuse to go on a holiday, eh? Clint, Meg and Dan. Meg does have a new list. This morning, we are getting into three men. They'll be happy.
Starting point is 01:05:38 No, thank you. Meg's dream. Okay, let's get into them then, Meg. Without further ado. This was the interesting one, and this was brought by producer Carl. I believe because he watched a TV show the other day or a movie the other day
Starting point is 01:05:51 that had this person in it, and there is going to be a re-return of it. Brendan Fraser. Jesus. He was in Georgia the jungle. The mummy. Yeah, the mummy. The Wail.
Starting point is 01:06:04 Yeah, the Wail. Oh, yeah, he won like an Oscar for that. He won an Oscar three years ago for the Whale. And a very well-deserved Oscar. I will say, Brendan Fraser, great actor, but he's not an A-lister. He's got two basic names, first and last, which makes him quite unforgettable. Brendan Fraser. I would love to put him on the B-list because he is an Oscar.
Starting point is 01:06:22 winner. You have to put him on the sea. Are you going to put us Oscar on the C list? Brendan Fraser. It's in terms of his fame. I just think fame. I don't even think. I think he would be scraping into the B list.
Starting point is 01:06:34 Who's in the B list? Alex Baldwin and Whoopi Goldberg? Maybe. Who's in the B list? I still think Lamato Odom's knocking on that door. I feel like he's been. And then on the B list, you've got Charlie Sheen, Nicky Minaj, Harry Stiles.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Harry Stiles needs to be on the A list. How is he? How is he? Yeah, I don't think Brendan Fraser can be in the same party. I actually based on what we've currently done over the last few months. I think he has to be a sea list.
Starting point is 01:07:00 Yeah, so he's not going to be in with Hugh Grant, Paul Rudd and Chris Pratt. He's going to be in with Whoopie and Alec. Yep, okay. We agree. Got that. That'll be stoked to have a third person now. Oh my God, and you be? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:14 You might disagree with us. You can. This is the whole point of the segment. If you disagree, give us a call. Oh, 800 the edge. Okay. Okay, number two, Dave Grohl, lead singer of the food fighters. This is a good one.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Because I would say that Dave Grohl probably is one of the most famous rock stars in the world right now. I would agree. I think he's falling off the cliff a little bit with the cheating stuff. If you don't know rock music, I don't even think you know who Dave Grohl is. Really? Yeah, I don't think he's like Harry Stiles. Even if you love rock music, you know who Harry Stiles is. If you don't know rock music, I'm like, Dave Grohl.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Again, I don't think he's probably an A-list. I'm saying B at best Dave Grohl Okay, we've got Dave And then we've got Snoop Dogg Oh Snoop's A all day Snoop Dogg's A Dump's in the crib, ma Drop it like it's hot
Starting point is 01:08:00 Drop it like it's hot Snoop Dog is the only A-lister on this list I think Dave Grohl Maybe five to 10 years ago He would have been on the A list But there'd be people out there in the world That don't know who Dave Grohl is I'm so glad we agreed on Snoop
Starting point is 01:08:15 Because I would have thought you for that I think there's going to be a lot of angry people out there That are not putting Dave Grohl in a nay Wait, Claudius just said, I'm 31, and I don't know that person by their name. I don't know which one she's even speaking about. They're talking about Dave Grohl or Brendan Fraser? Or Snoop Dog. Stop!
Starting point is 01:08:31 No, yeah, give it to school. Or Texas, if that's easier for you. 3, 3, 4.3. So far, we've got Snoop Dog is A. Dave Grohl is B and Brendan Fraser is C. And this is just to do with fame, remember. Fame alone, not telling or anything like that. Yeah, or whether you like them or don't like them?
Starting point is 01:08:47 No. Oh, I don't do the edge of what you'll say. Meg and Dan podcast. All right, once a week we debate three names that Meg throws up. And we are all by the sounds agreeing on Snoop Dog. He feels like he's an A-lister. He's in. No one's trying to stop him and checking his ID.
Starting point is 01:09:09 Ah, he's gone right in after Adam Sandler. There we go. Yeah, Snoop Dog, I mean, if you don't even know what he did for hip-hop when he was, like, young with Tupac and Dre, like, for that alone. And now he's doing bloody SpongeBob. Oh, he's the greatest since he's ever done it. And he's taking it through to the mainstream. Everybody knows him.
Starting point is 01:09:26 He's a brand now. Okay, so then I said Brendan Fraser from Tarzan, from The Whale, from The Mummy. He is on the sea list alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Alec Baldwin. So we're looking at Dave Grohl. He is the lead singer of the Food Fighters. He was in Nirvana. And I think he's one of the most famous rock stars in the world. And I think he has crossed over to the pop world, which is very hard for rock stars to do.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Yeah, it is. I would be saying NAA personally? Would you? Do you think he's as famous as Brad Pitt and Beyonce? I think he's as famous as Sheep and John Travolta. Well, Keita, what do you think about, Dave Grohl? I didn't even know who he was. Which makes it hard to put you in the A list if people don't know you as a household name.
Starting point is 01:10:12 Yeah, I would have put him in the A list. Where would you put him? Would you put him at a B or a C list then? I would probably, because I didn't know who he was. I'd probably maybe have you heard of the foo fighters though yes I have heard of them so you just didn't know that and with them okay I get that alright thank you kida Katie's gonna be angry yeah Katie you have anything to say to that
Starting point is 01:10:36 oh I see a say Has everybody heard of a band called Nirvana before Yeah yeah yeah yeah and I think you're fair in saying that Katie but I guess we are looking at it as a worldwide perspective of fang, and unfortunately, Peter didn't know. He is an A all day in my book, but I mean, hey, he's a legend of my eyes. Would you be willing to maybe drop him down to a B?
Starting point is 01:11:10 No. She's not bothering with you, Dan. She's passionate. I love you, Katie. I love you, Katie. Okay, we're seeing what's coming in through the text machine. we have A's for Dave Groll. There seems to be a bit of passion there, but then other people say,
Starting point is 01:11:25 I don't know him by his name at all. Yeah. A lot of people saying, what did Snoop Dog do when he was young? Dave was in Nirvana. I think Snoop Dog was just still rapping when Dave was in Nirvana. Yeah, I think Snoop Dogg's been...
Starting point is 01:11:36 People now, because you mentioned other names, Meg, that have ended up in previous weeks in a certain list, people were very angry that Harry Stiles was a bee. Yeah, I wasn't here when that happened and would have fought that, I imagine. I fought it hard, but it was Clinton,
Starting point is 01:11:49 in Ash when she was covering for you that put him in a B. Harry Stiles a B. I know. I think we need to sort of maybe repurpose. How about those? We put Dave Grohl in the A list, then we swap him out for Harry Stiles. You can't put him there just,
Starting point is 01:12:05 imagine he just gets in. Sorry, Dave, we got you on the wrong party, mate. I mean, Meg, you're getting people being like, oh my God, get a grip, he's an A-lister, and then other people like Claudia are being like, I don't even know who Dave Grohl is either by name. Yeah.
