This is a podcast from Rover. If this podcast was a person, it would be banned from family gatherings. Oh, piss off, Uncle John. This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Good morning. We're just talking about how we all want to move to Christchurch. Yeah, we talk about this often. And the reason we can't is because, obviously, the radio shows there.

But if we all move, we could all live there. Yeah. In a little commune. Oh, we could start like a little tent city. Yeah. Yeah, Meg, you'd have the tent with all the... Mead would run all the vegetable garden

Clint you'd do the you'd have like the moonshine area Oh alcohol yeah He'd make his own alcohol They'd go around at like four o'clock Knock on doors You want to go from the car Cars the fixer up at anything's broken

You go to car But Dan what do you bring A bit of humour Dan runs like the karaoke night Yeah you're feeling depressed Yeah yeah You're feeling depressed I'll go and dance

Yeah yeah I'll do I've sort of got a mixed job I bring a bit of a laugh and then I also cook dinner once a week. No, I'm not going for Kish. Jesus, mate not getting anything. Producer, are you happy with your role? Oh, yeah, no, I'm fine with the roll.

I was actually about to say, do you guys want a perky nana? Yes. Oh, yeah. Sure, because that was in the news. You were talking about it yesterday, Meg. Everybody, apparently, it's the ninth most Googled snack internationally. Okay, okay. So everyone wants one?

Yeah, I mean, I just don't know why the world wants them so bad, but now they do, now I do. Yeah, 43% they've grown in searches over the last year. I haven't had breakfast yet, so I don't know if I want to perk you now. It's the first thing. Fruit. Ten. $60?

Okay, sold. Let's take them. Give some away. Funny out. Yeah, great. Yeah, chocolate's not. Dan, you would have done that before. 100%.

I would put money on that. Very good money. I had a pie yesterday. First time in ages and I just sort of damn the whole way home. Good idea. Delicious up. Okay, we've fallen into a place that hasn't been prepped. It hasn't been planned, but we were just talking about back in the day.

I can see our boss's face right now, Jack. You don't try stuff sometimes, otherwise you just keep doing the same thing. Sit down, Jack, because sometimes the best bits aren't planned. Now, this is going to be the most cringe white shit that has ever happened on radio in New Zealand. I am aware of it. I don't think I'm cool. This isn't going to be a video. I just want to put that out first because I don't want people going,

my God, she's so millennial and old and crusty. I know this will be shit. That's why we were only doing it off here and then produce girls. I was like, people need to hear this. Do they? And then we're like, yeah, it's 20 past six, whatever. Now, what we're going to do is how, what was it, Freestyle Friday's work? Is Clint will play a beat?

Yeah. And you're more than welcome actually to call, oh, I don't know that under the edge if you want to beat Meg. Because I think you could. Yeah. And Meg's going to wrap over this beat. Back in the day when I worked on my FM, we did this. And eventually the boss came in and he was right to do so. And he said, freestyle Friday is done.

It's done. It was terrible. And everyone that wanted to do it couldn't do it. And Meg is maybe one of those people. But like you said, Meg, you don't try, you don't know. So you've not prepped anything here, Meg. This is freestyle. Dan, I can't stress enough.

There is nothing in my head. Great. Like, it is, I'm reaching for a word, and it's an empty, vast space in my brain. Now, do we give her a word to sort of... Oh, yeah, I was just writing down potential rap names for her. Okay. Sticky Minaj.

I don't mind that. Eminemma. I don't mind that either. That is quite good. Otherwise, a little doo-do I threw her earlier. I'm going to stick with the emina one. Oh, okay. Eminemina.

Mm-hmm. Okay. All right. I got a freestyle rap beat that Dan found on YouTube. It's so embarrassing. It's very generic Meg, quite slow as well, so it's not too fast. You can just come in at any point. I'm regretting it already.

Here I am. About to rap. Huh. How about that? I'm going for a second rap. Rhyma just like me. I'm up a treat. If you laugh,

I know, it's really hard. Honestly God, the PTSD I'm getting right now, this is exactly what happened 10 years ago on my. There was nothing, I was definitely not laughing there.

I was cringing. Hayden's text through, Missy Smelliot, which I like. That's not a bad, it's not a bad rap name. Let's give her one more go. Okay, because I'm...

The thing is, I'm... Give me one more go. Megan M. I think you do it. Give her a topic. I reckon you need something a little bit like rapy.

I reckon... I don't want... Rap about money. Money. That's what rappers like rapping about. Yeah, and you get paid every second Thursday. Yeah, cash. Yeah, yeah.

You spend the money on hose and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got a mortgage, but... Okay, I'll try my best. I'm going to... Okay, ready? Yeah. If you've got a rap name for Meg,

text it through, 3343. You like money? I make money. House and my husband's at home. My house and my husband's at home, it sounds like she's a prosci. Sounds like you're a prosci. You make money out of work.

You say you're saying you for sex. I don't want to do it again. You sound like you're running a brothel and your husband's the pimps. Does Barack Obama think him and Michelle are equal partners? Interesting. Does he? That's the question you want to pose this morning. Now that you've posed that, let's see.

I don't know if it's been an equal partnership. I've gotten, I'm sure, more out of it than she has. But it's worked out for me really well. For her, you know, it's probably more of a mixed bag. They speak so highly of one another in front of other people. It's beautiful. Yeah, it's so lovely those two. Great relationship.

Yeah, because I think that would have felt like almost the reporter was doing a trap of like, is it an equal relationship knowing that he was the president? And he said he got more out of it than... They have so many reports as well of their relationship on the rocks. and stuff. The amount of stories I see about their relationship. No, they're fine. Shocking. And the new trailer is out for Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman's practical magic.

This will lead her into the dark path. If you want to find her, you have to work. Together. Just that we could trust this guy. It looks great, and it's also, I think it's really nice to know that Sandra and Nicole are genuinely really good, like, besties in real life. I don't even know they were.

Yeah, yeah, they just did a post for one of them did a post for the other one's birthday and had, like, multiple behind-the-scenes videos of them just laughing and hanging out, like at each other's houses and stuff. So they're best mates. I love Sandra in anything. Yeah. Like, I'll watch any movie if she's in it and I haven't seen it.

Are you sure? You're not thinking about Julia Roberts because you get those two mixed up. Julia's the pretty woman, eh? Yes. Yeah, no, Sandra. Look, if you want to see the trailer, text magic, and I'll flick it back to you. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. So it looks like if you were listening about five minutes ago when you heard Meg do a bit of a

freestyle, it looks like we've decided as a team without Meg's consent. that around that time, so around 20 past six every morning, we're going to get Meg to freestyle until she obviously gets better at it. And once she nails it, then we'll move on. But at the moment, I think there's something there. It's going to be a long journey, because have you heard it before, that was far from perfect. We've had a few suggestions, notorious MEG for your rap name, 20 cents.

Missy Smalley, it was my favourite from Hayden. Yeah, that's another goodie. Thanks for that. Yeah, what was your one? Poopzilla or something? What has that got to do with anything? That's just your name That's what we call you behind the scene

Everyone's little something I think it could be a little doo-doo But you know I think it's probably nicer To have like your name It's better than big doo-do I guess Yes

Yeah yeah It's true You want to be a little one As opposed to a big one We're gonna be either Alright first call of the day We won't make your rap We promise

Oh 800 the edge That's the worst name ever Big poo Big poo Big Sean Yeah some people do Do put big at the start Salt and Poopa

Salt and Pooper I'm going to block you for 24 hours if you keep coming in It's a new front runner for me It's the edge Clint Meg and Dan On the edge, Clint Meag and Dan God people are still sending through

rap names for you Meg Obviously there was Salt and Pooper Salt and Pepper You all know from these songs Do you know from Pepper? Come on Let's talk about sexy things

I don't want to be that radio announcer I don't want to be that female radio announcer who thinks she's funny, but she's kind of just old and cringe and she doesn't get that people are laughing at it. I don't want to do that. But it's your idea, was your idea meant to do the rap? No, I said off air, let's see

if this is a talent, a natural talent I have, and then I go, nope, don't have it. That's what we should have stayed. Correctly if I'm wrong, but there seems to be a bit of a poop theme coming through, isn't there? I don't know why, Meg, because you're not a pooper. But can I pose one? That's a goodie.

Poop dog. It's like a take on Snoop. We could just call you poop for short. Sleep dog We'll have a sick day tomorrow Boston morning First call of the day Boston

Toranga how is it this morning bro Oh not bad A little bit wet but pretty good You're one of the first I'd say top 5 Top 10 top 5 People to text us in the morning Yeah

We love seeing your name Boston Thank you for that We like getting your texts Yeah So what are you up to what's the plans for today? Oh Good Oh, good.

Yeah, you guys are good. Yeah, so you drive a truck, don't you? Is it a tip truck or another type of truck? Yeah, good. Okay, so I'm guessing you're driving a Hino. We do have a couple Hinoes, but I don't personally drive a Hino. What else would you go in? I'd go maybe a Skarnia.

No, we don't have any Skarnia. Oh, God. Oh, eight strike two. You got one more swing, Webby? Mitsubishi Fuso. Oh, we have a few of those, but I don't personally go. Oh, my gosh. What are you drive boss then?

A UD trust. Yeah, UD. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was your fourth guest, I mean. My fourth guest, yeah. Nice. Okay. You're close. Dang.

Hey, what's the plans this weekend? You got a big one coming up? Yeah, got a 21st on Saturday. Oh, I remember when I used to get invited to those. Yeah. 40 years ago. That'd be good. Oh, nice.

Is it a friend 21st or like a cousin, like family, remember? Nah, it's a friend. It's my partner. friends, like best mates to go over for the weekend yeah, try not to freeze. Yeah. Are they going to do with Yardi? I haven't seen a Yardie done in a long time.

No, no, it's a chick. I don't know if chicks do Yardie. I never heard of that. My one did, I did, I did do 21 shots. Yeah. Well, I didn't do 21 of them. I did. You might do that. Yeah, 21 shot glasses and then there is a mix between water, juice and alcohol.

Honestly, I'd be gone after three. Yeah. I'm sorry. That's shocking. I think I stupidly admitted that I never did a Yardie on here. and so I had to do a yardie of blue milk. That wasn't a fun morning. Yeah, I think I, towards the end I was just drinking it,

putting it in my stomach for five seconds, and then bringing it back up. I think it probably would have been better to drink beer than milk. Yeah, yeah, I don't know why it would have been. Did you do one, Boston? No, I didn't do one. I couldn't think of anything worse. Supposedly you meant to, like, pour it the night before

and then you leave it in the corner of a room and all the fizz comes out of it, and that's how the lads get it down. Lots of people do it in the, like, morning, and then it's still quite fizzy by the time they do it. Yeah. I mean, there's nothing. That warm beer sounds disgusting to me.

Sounds gross, but anyway, thanks for you called Boston. Boston, why don't we saw you out with a $100 mocker voucher, and then you don't go, don't go tell the girlfriend. You just go buy something nice when it shows up going, oh, babe, I just, I thought you'd enjoy it. I felt like you needed a treat. You've had a tough week, even if she has a. I think she'd love that. And she's a uni students, so she'd definitely use it on something good.

Yeah, this is brilliant. All right, bro. We'll get that out to you. Thanks for listening, Boston. We appreciate you or our support every morning. Have a good weekend, Boston. You guys too. Take it easy.

See you, mate. Lovely guy. He's really lovely. And he must be youngish, I imagine. Yeah. It's one of those people you know you chat and you go, if we lived closer, I think we'd be proper mates. Clint, you've got to be careful.

You're friends with a lot of people. I go down to Totong sometimes. Yeah. You have friends with so many people. I don't think there's a limit. You don't think there's a limit to friends? I think the more friends you have, the less time you have to commit to like

other friends, yes. Yeah. The amount of people that we've been to like a work event, Clint's befriended them and then they turn up at his house. They're like best friends. They're hanging out together. Anybody can do it. Yeah, anybody can. Maybe I have a lot of friends, but I have a high rotation.

Yeah. When it comes in, another one falls away. Furniture design for New Zealand homes. Thank you, Mocker. The stock take sale is on now. You can save up to 50% on selected products plus take a further 10% off stock take sale item. Clint coming up next

brought this to the chat yesterday and I believe women will all be on the same page with it. Yeah, I need to understand the female psyche of what's going on in this interaction between male and female next. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my gosh. There are a lot of boyfriends being naughty

with their girlfriends and teasing them in particular in an ice cream shop where they'll go in, presumably, to both get ice cream. Oh, that's a nice ice cream. Should we pop in? I'm thinking there's probably what's happening, but I'm not seeing that in the record.

Yeah, I think the guy is suggesting it. Yeah, all you're seeing is that the female partner ordering her ice cream, and then the salesperson turns to the guy and says, what do you want? And they respond. Oh, I'm not getting anything. You sure.

And then you just see these girls get really, like, either shocked or very angry. Original chocolate chip. Anything else? No, no, I don't want anything. Get something. I really don't want anything. I'm good.

You're going to get it. get something. Get a cookie. I'm not eating a cookie alone. Yeah. I sort of get it. Yeah, it's like, especially if that person suggested it. It's just this feeling that, I mean, it's so, so nuanced.

You don't want to get too into it, but women are so judged on their looks. And so, like, you sit there and, like, fine, I'm going to get, like, this really indulgent treat. And you do it, and you almost do it in a way that makes it easier to say that you had that without feeling bad for it, not that you need to feel bad, because it was a moment between you and your partner. But the moment that you're just eating an ice cream by yourself, it's just like, well, I'm just eating.

Yes. You don't just, just that mindset makes sense. Yeah, I agree. Meg helped the psyche for me because I was like with the ice cream thing, it happens a lot where I'll get an ice cream, we went to the movies, I get a chalk top. Do you want anything, babe? She's that, nah.

And I'm like, sweet as, I'm fine. But the equivalent might be if a mate invited me to a bar and then I went and got a beer and I said, what do you want? He goes, I'm not drinking. I'm like, what are you mean? Yeah, similar thing. It happens to me at home, like my wife.

and I will have like ice blocks in the freezer, which they sit there and I'll go, oh, do you want a little treaty? And usually Hannah will go, no. And then I just end up sitting there depressingly using it. I still eat it. Yeah, and then you just, for some reason it's different. It's like a moment between you and your partner

and you're having a sweet treat together. Yeah. Or you're just sitting there eating by yourself and they're next to you. You do feel like a fat pig, don't you? If your partner's not eating it, you're scoffing your face with something. It's silly.

It's silly. I noticed it way more because I'm literally, even just last night, my wife got the wine out, and rather than just pouring one for her, so she goes, should we have a wine? And I go, yeah. Go on. And then, so then now I'm drinking with her,

so she maybe doesn't feel bad. Yeah, so she doesn't feel like she's just a random woman like on a Wednesday night drinking alone, which is more tragic than it is, and it's just a partner in her sharing a drink. I get it when it's an ice cream shop. I genuinely do. If you're out together on a date night,

and you go to the ice cream shop and just one of you buys it, you're walking along. If a man did that to me, and it wasn't my husband guy and we're on a date that would literally I'd never see him again. Really?

If a man said should we get an ice cream I went in and got one and then he said no I don't want one after I'd just ordered I'd be like you're not no

I'm on that Okay what if he doesn't suggest the ice cream oh ice cream be fun that'd be nice and then you order And I wouldn't get an ice cream and he goes no thanks and I'm like all good

well you know I still would have got on a date with him but that it would only be if he was like okay yeah let's go in So it's not so much you wanting the ice cream

as much as it is you wanting an ice cream experience with them. Yes, I know it's so... Because whereas I, if I want an ice cream, I just want the ice cream. That's 99% of why I'm getting it. It's weird. They're sitting there watching you eat it.

I think it's odd. I genuinely think it's odd. Just have an ice cream or at least buy one and don't eat it all. Just have a few licks of an ice cream. Yeah, have a lick. Have a lick. Pusses me off.

I hope no one's just tuned in. Fellow, naughty 640 and Dan's talking about what? It was my date night anyway. Hey, guys, we are, oh God, one, two, three, four days out from Showtime. And there's been a little bit of work behind the scenes to get us amped for Hook the Musical Monday Night next. Clint Megan, Dad. Brecker on the edge, it's seven to seven.

Gosh, the brain is a bit fried at the moment. There's quite a bit going on behind the scenes, a little more than normal. Yeah, it's wild that we do the show and then we prep tomorrow's show. And then we do a podcast called The Overthinkers podcast, if you don't know, just completely separate to the show, which is another podcast that we do. Hell of a hell of a listen if you want to download that. And then we go straight, thank you Dan. Yes, TXRour Overtinkers to 334.

If you want to hear that. And then we go straight into a totally different room. And we do two hours of rehearsals for this musical we're doing on Monday. And that's, you know, the life of a musical theatre actor, just constantly rehearsing. Yeah. Yeah. And I suppose once you've got your lines and you're like, where you're supposed to be on stage, then we can start adding all the little like tweaks.

We have the tweaky part where it's like, you do this and I do that. And we'll embrace here. I'm at the place of throwing out new things and then seeing what lands in the room best and then collating those pieces to go, what will I actually do for the one night? I think it's a shame that it is just one night. Because normally when you do productions or musical theatre, you try the first night and you go, that went well. Now I'm going to try a different something.

By the last night, you're like, this is the exact puzzle that I need to do to make sure that this is the best performance. But you don't get that. And so I genuinely think we're close to being perfect. Yeah. Well, if you have only just started tuning into our show recently, or you've been away and you've missed a fair bit, this is meant to gee you up for Monday night, which is only four days away.

I haven't heard this. Clint Megan Dan. Stinky Boo. This tale began over 20 years ago when a young pubescent boy by the name of Daniel was given a school drama assignment. The task was to write a short play. Being the overachiever he was, he took it one step further and wrote a musical.

The origin story of Hook. Dan naively thought that show would never see the light of day. How wrong he was. Two long decades passed before a group of friends began sniffing around in Dan's mom's dusty basement. No pun, and the long-forgotten script was unearthed. It seemed little Daniel's dream was about to come to true. What we can't do the show. We're doing the show. Auditions for the main

characters were held. Clint and Dad both going for Hook. Captain James Hook. Blast my cannon inside of you. Meg and Webgirl Bella both went for Tinkerbell. They were all terrible. But now we have our

leads. The theatre is booked and they've written each other's blurbs for the program. With theatre credits including Tina Turner, Mr. Mastopheles from Cats, Nanky Pooh from Japanese musical Mikado. Yeah. This will be Meg Mansell's first Caucasian role.

And if this thing wasn't already cringe enough, Clint thought he would add some more fuel to the fire. It would be nice as a crescendo moment to have the characters embrace with a passionate kiss. Imagine this big passionate kiss to end the musical and then the curtain comes down. Oh yes, that's bloody hilarious until you have to tell your partners. What are your thoughts on me kissing Meg? Oh, are you tiny me? I'm so sorry You sound nervous there Dan

What about Meg's husband You have this in the audience And there'll be like video footage And me kissing another man That's okay Because this happens It's gonna be weird Like seeing your brother and sister kiss

And not like the cool step brother and sister Where one of them is stuck in a dryer It's gonna change kissing for you Kissing guys being like you've been kissing in VHS You're gonna be kissing on Blu-ray next Monday baby So even after all of that The whole night is so much out. Through what I can imagine are only pity sales and people who actually want to come and watch

this thing. Oh, I'm in. I'm so excited for it. Hi, guys, this is absolutely brilliant. Shannon is texting, oh my God, my wife and I have bought tickets. We have done some amazing things in our eight years together, but we were both giggling on the phone together just now saying this is by far the coolest thing that we have done so far. Okay, as people really need to get a life, and they might be bitterly disappointed after this recent. expectation check. Where are we do we think? I think we've got different expectations Clint. I'm wanting this to be Broadway level

and I think we're currently at best amateur theatre in Wipokuro. Oh, sad to Wai Pukuro. I think there are kids' productions that are better in high quality. Oh, you haven't been to a kid's production in a while. Jesus. We've only got four days left to go. There's still

so much left to do before Clint Megandan hit the stage. Clint Megandan. I do not remember a time before we were doing this play. I just don't remember idiot. Hey, full dress for rehearsal after the show today. I think once we put the costumes on, I think it'll feel better because at the moment,

we're just like people standing in a boardroom, performing and everyone walking past, going, what are those idiots doing with swords? Did we get a hook? Because we were still waiting on a hook for hook. Yeah, the hook is being crafted. Oh, is it being made? Like a special hook.

Oh, that's quite cool. You could keep that on your mantel piece afterwards. Yes, yes. Next to the Oscar, I win. All right, so if you are coming along, bring it cash for the merch. I know that. My husband's silly merch.

Doesn't pay wave? Doesn't pay wave. He's got a little kitty box. And obviously, if you're unable to come, there will be a full coverage on next Tuesday after the show, and we are filming it. So I imagine we're going to go straight to DVD on this. And I think the last tickets remaining once we collate,

if there are any seats left, Monday. There might be some chance to get your hands on tickets Monday the day before, the morning before showtime. Yeah, it's $10 for the DVD and $20 for the Blu-ray. So we've got a couple of options here. Yeah, good luck. And then about $400 for the Blu-ray player, probably on Traybett. If you can find one.

Okay, take the edge of my life is next. Let us know what we could do to take the edge of yours, and we could give you the cash next. All right, so we're going to be putting the number in now. Oh. Are we, or are we doing it next? No, it's supposed to be now, but I haven't got it. No, the printer is broken.

The printer is broken. I remember I walked in earlier and I said the prince is broken, you guys are going to have to do this off your emails. We would have been talking about something worth you later. I'll find it and I'll copy it in. I think Meg was trying to rap at the time. Yeah, maybe that was that. There's been a lot of rap content.

I'm on my emails, Carl, I can't see it. Have I deleted it? Okay, here we go. Carl's going to copy it into the chat box. In the meantime, in the meantime, Meg's just going to pad for us. Yes, I am. So if you haven't seen already, make sure that you go out to your... I've got some news, actually.

There it is. Because we did some calculations. We have given away $15,000 so far since we started to take the edge off my life. That's a lot of cash we've given away. We've given away 500 here, 300 there, 600 there. The call's going through. Take the edge of my life. Thank God for this.

Oh my gosh. Thankfully, we got your number, Valeria. you need to go and see your long-distance boyfriend. I know. Oh my God, it's just, it's crazy. We've been going on every second week. I've been to Auckland to Queensland. Oh, damn. That's expensive. That's expensive.

How long have you been doing that for? Oh, month and a bit. How hard is it to maintain a long-distance relationship? Because did you start together and then he's moved away, or you've moved away? No, we just, like, met on a trip. Like, we met, like, on a trip, and then it's just the next week. he's like, I'm flying you over. I was like, oh, okay.

And then from that, it just kind of started. Are you in Queenstown or is he in Queenstown? He's actually all the way like, yeah, he's down there. I'm on Auckland. What do you guys normally do when you catch up? Clint. Like, explore. I basically just go around anywhere.

Each other's bodies. I thought that's what she was going to say. No, the mountains. Roy's peak and things like that. His name's not Roy either. That's the name of the mountains. A bit of that. I have Valeria, $300 for you to go and see you long distance.

You can do some more exploring. Roy's peak a hell of a climb, though. It's a beautiful view from up there if you haven't been. Could you stop talking about Valeria's partner? No. His name's not Roy. I mean, the chances of that. All right.

Thanks, Valeria. Well done. All right, back again, at 8 o'clock. Take the edge off of my life. If you've registered, make sure you do what Valeria just did. If you saw the news a couple of days ago, the UK Prime Minister, Kef Stama has stepped down. This is their sixth Prime Minister in 10 years.

But there's one staffer within the Parliament there that's been there that whole time through all the six prime ministers. Six of them? Yeah. And the staffer is not a human. We'll talk about it next. Clint Megan Dan. Yeah, Dean, it's 8 past 7, Clint Megan Dan.

So typical of Dan to find this story. Yeah, you know what? And it's been big news over the last couple of days, the UK Prime Minister Kestama has stepped down, and there is one MVP of Parliament House over in the UK that has stood the test of time. Prime ministers come and prime ministers go, but there's one resident of Downing Street who endures,

Larry the cat. Larry's is a real rags to Rich's story. He was a stray cat who was adopted in 2011 by Downing Street from the Battersea Dogs and Cats home to deal with a rodent infestation. His record on that score is a bit mixed. There have been suggestions he hasn't actually caught that many mice in his 15 years in the post.

but he's become a much beloved fixture of Downing Street. So Downing Street is the place where quite often the Prime Minister lives. Like the White House, right? Yeah. And also does a lot of his business. So, yeah, it's basically the White House of the UK. So he has seen six Prime Ministers, David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and Kirstama.

They just shows how much of a turnover there is because cats only live between zero and like 20-odd years. and this cat was found as a grown cat. Poor cat, getting used to a new owner every, like six times. I know. Some cats like a new owner. And a new family moves in, I guess the staff say the same because there'd be people that are there, like the workers.

I would have thought you'd take the cat with you. Like just side note, like if you're the first prime minister when the cat was there and you leave, you go, well, that's my cat. You get another cat. You wouldn't go, that's this place's cat. Yeah, it's the house's cat. It's weird, isn't it? So 2011 and he was an adult cat then, so he must be pushing, what, like 15 years old?

Cats don't live that long. Yeah, but I guess if you're the Prime Minister's cat, you've eaten the best, aren't you? You've been looked after it. It doesn't sound like he's doing a lot of the work that he was employed to do with the mice. Well, I'd say Larry the cat's calling himself the MVP of Downing Street. He'd be like, I'm doing all the work here, everybody comes and goes.

I'm the stable person that's here constantly. Well, maybe the cat sucks. And that's why no one takes the cat with them. Like, maybe that's why they leave. Yeah. Like, Ian, what's his name, Kea Astama? Like, do we know why he's to them? Do you want to them? God, no.

He's probably, he's like, the reason I was a shit prime minister is because of that bloody cat. That ham cat. I've got allergies. Yeah. I was just sneezing the whole time. All right, so you want to talk about workplace MVP? Do you think people will think that they're the workplace MVP? Or do you think you would say, like, you know, say, and recommend somebody else to be?

Well, I want to talk to people that think they're the Larry, the cat of their. to be the MVP, are you just somebody who's just being there for so long? You're like, we've got a Larry. He's been there about 30 years. And it's like some guy who started out of high school. Now he's like 50s. It could be that. Yeah, you could just be, you've stood the test of time.

People come, people go. You've been there for 30 years. Or you could be that person that's like self-confessed. If I wasn't here, this place would turn to shit. I'm the longest-standing announcer. Well, no, employee at the edge. Really? Yeah.

Do you think if Shep Meg left this place had turned to custody? Oh, well, Meg, I did. I did say that. I did say that. I did find the audio of her saying, yes, the edge would be nothing without her in the lie detector test last week. Context!

I don't have time. The song started. So Meg's the Larry, the cat of the edge? Can we find that audio? Meg's saying that, yeah, thank you, man. Oh, hold on. Turns out I can pause the song. Here it is.

Hang on heart. Do you think the edge would be nothing without you? No. Yes. Oh, my. She's like, sticking against herself. He knows he's going to get caught.

Clint Megan Dan. Oh my gosh. And on the edge is 14 past 7, Clint Megan Dan. We were talking about Larry the cat who has gone through six prime ministers and is still there just kicking around doing his thing. The MVP as Dan likes to call it the most valuable player. He was employed to be the chief mouser to catch all the mice in 10 Downing Street over in the UK. I don't think he's caught one, apparently. But he's just there.

He's the MVP. He's been there for six prime ministers. But then you do pose a question. Just because someone's been there a long time doesn't necessarily make you the MVP. You could just be, I know, furniture. You know, you're just in the background, doing your thing. It's like, yeah, you're not doing anything outstanding, but you're not also rocking the boat.

They're just there. Even at this place, at this organization we work for, there's some people that I've worked with that I've gone, I don't know what they do, but they've been here for 40 years. Been here forever. Yeah, MediWorks are some long-standing people. I can name them right now, I won't. Hannah thinks that you are the MVP.

Meg. She said, we should rename the show Meg. in The Edge. Right. Well, hopefully she's joking. But there's the Ash London show, so, you know. Daniel, Ash, London, putting that idea into Megan's head. No, I would never.

I would never, that would make me want to die. The Meg Mansell show. I think it has a ring to it, Clinton. No, no, no, no, no, thank you. Yeah, I don't mind, because then when we serve up something that's a bit stink, we go, it's the Meg Mansell show. And I just wipe my hands of it. Let's go to Emily.

Oh, no, I'm under the edge. Now, Emily, this is your grandma that's the MVP of her. workplace? Yes, yes, that's correct. What's she up to? Is she working? So she's a volunteer at Eden Park, so they volunteer at all the concerts, rugby games, events like the home show, all those kind of things. She's been there for 15 years, so she's one of the first original volunteers for Eden Park.

Oh, that's lovely. Now, I would say, sad of Eden Park not to pay your grandmother. After the first, like, two, three years, or ten years, you think she'd say getting paid? What does she do within the park? What's her role? So she's just one of the main volunteers. So she does a little bit of management of, you know, all the other volunteers on the day. So she gets like obviously to like watch the concert for free and stuff?

Or is she working? Okay, right, that's the trade-off. Yes, yep. So yeah, they get to work at the event, but they also get the watch of the event, no matter what's on. Oh, that's nice. And how old is she? She's 78

Wow Good on your grandma But I guess a lot of concerts in that time That she would have seen There's a lot of those volunteers at the zoo You know And they just kind of like I think they stand kind of next to you

At an enclosure Just desperate for you to ask you Or your kid ask you a question You don't know the answer to Adam's text through saying I'm the MVP because everyone calls me Before calling maintenance Last week I fixed a fridge

A chair and a coffee machine That's Carl for us Hey Carl and you used to work in like engineering car. Yeah, I'm literally furniture around this place and I also fix furniture around this place. The tinker tailor. Somebody said that they are currently the MVP this year after

finding out something was going to cost the company a lot of money and save the boss 30 grand a few months back. Imagine that if you just found out an employee who'd like caught a ball from hitting the ground I suppose and gone, oh we shouldn't do that or if we do that it's going to cost us a lot of money. That's at least an employee the month. Yeah. Or a raise

like a pay raise. I just have a feeling they wouldn't have got one. No, definitely not. Speaking of MVP's, we were speaking to our next, the piglet that's predicting the Football World Cup. Oh, yes. So far, we've had two correct guesses. Yeah, this was Spencer picking yesterday's game between England and Ghana.

He's ready. He's running. Oh, his little bit is. He knows where he's going to win. Come on, boy, come on, boy. Will it be England, will it be Ghana. It's gone, buddy. He's leaving the decision to the last minute. And he's chosen.

It's England. And unfortunately, Meg, even though he said he's picked two correct answers, England and Ghana was a draw yesterday. What? Are you joking? Crazy, eh? That's shocking. It was like fourth versus 64th or something.

Go Ghana. And so technically, I don't know if we can call it a loss for the pick because we never gave him a draw option. We only gave him England or Ghana. So I guess, yeah, Meg, you were kind of wrong in what you were saying before. The Meg Mantle show. It's the edge. Oh. Clint Meg and Dan

22 past 7 Spencer our FIFA World Cup Oracle He has a Kuni Kuni pig from Rotorua is yet to get an incorrect guess Technically he picked England to beat Ghana Like most of the world And it was a nil-all draw

Incredible result for Ghana That is crazy Wow the celebrations last night Would have been wild So that's the second sort of big upset Of the Cup right after Spain And there's a lot of controversy as well going around the internet because one of the players for Ghana was absolutely taken out in the box

and they have a video referee checked it and was like, nah, it's fine. And it's a penalty every day of the week. And so now there's this conspiracy theory that there are certain teams that FIFA wants to go through over others. My goodness. And there's no real reason why Ghana wouldn't have been given that penalty. But anyway. Well, this is the good thing because Spencer the Kunikuny doesn't have any bias, does he? True.

No, he just picks what he wants. once. Yeah. So we won't give him the win for the draw, but we won't take away his Oracle duties either for a draw. He's still a pig. Yep, he's still a pig. He's still a pig.

Let him have the win. English fans listening to the show. God, you would have been disappointed with a nill all draw yesterday against Ghana. But Ghana was stoked. One of their more impressive World Cup displays and indeed points of recent years. Now, I know we have a lot of South African fans that listen to our show. So they'll be eyeing up the South Korea match

at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Yeah, South Africa ranked 61st in the world and South Korea 24th. So South Korea are obviously the favorites to win. Right, but will Spencer the Kunukudi Pig, pick that? We have Samantha on the line. Hi, Samantha.

Hi. Are you almost hoping that he gets it wrong so you can stop doing this? You can sleep in. You know what? I actually love it. I actually love it. Oh, good, good.

Well, I'm looking at Spencer on the live. feed now. He's looking good. He's looking like he's had a good sleep last night. He's ready to pick. Are you overfeeding him in the moment with this game? Or is that normally, you know, he'd normally be eating around this time. Anyway. He eats all the time.

Oh my gosh, he's going to push through the fence. He's hitting it now. Should we get onto it? Let us know, is the left or the rye, which one is on either end? So we're looking at South Korea on the left? Okay, so I've moved them closer today. Oh, the dog's eating it. Right.

So we've got South Korea and South Africa. Okay, brilliant. Okay, well, let's let him out and see who our Oracle Spencer is going to choose. The Labrador dog is choosing South Africa, if you are wondering. Labradorals are, you get it wrong, pigs. Always gone straight for the other one. South Korea. He's gone to Korea.

Wow. Smart pig. Smart pig, but you know what? Your dogs put in a real good bid that if your pig's wrong, he wants to take a... He's like, you're wrong, Spence. The dogs. Dogs trying to get in there, yeah. Looks like a delicious breakfast of, it looks like lettuce, carrots, cabbage.

Cabbage. Mm-mm. Yum. All right, well, Spencer is putting his backing behind South Korea. Now, the favourites, that's probably a smart thing for Spencer to do. If he's right, we'll touch base with you again. Tomorrow, Samantha. Sounds great.

Samantha. Samantha's kids are probably like. So, hey, what are you doing again, Mum? What's going on? Apparently if he loses, we're getting some really lovely bacon. Don't say that. Free range, obviously. On Monday, we have hooked the musical.

It is the musical that Dan wrote when he was 15 years old. Behind the scenes, I have been trying to set up a bit of a surprise for our Dan. Have you? A bit of a, yeah. We're working genuinely quite hard for a special guest. Now, is it a surprise that I'd like? I think so. I think so.

I think my surprises usually are quite nice. I think, correct me if I'm wrong, Meg, initially was going to be a good surprise. Yes, it is somewhat backfired a little bit. Really? Unfortunately, so now I have to come talk about it because I don't believe they'll be coming. Meg's been keeping a secret from you for almost a week now. She's been letting me on, and it's time to let the cat out of the bag next.

I'm sick of the secrets. Well, good. You only got a few more minutes to wait. Yeah. Quinn and Dan. On the age is 23 to 8, Kimmer Dan. Hook the musical Monday is when we will be taken to the stage in front of a live paying audience, a script that Dan wrote 20 years ago, and as friends, we decided, you know what?

We're going to make your dream a reality. young man. And I liked to make dreams realities. It's actually one of my favourite Yeah, Dan. It's one of my favourite things about this job that we have access to be able to do those things. And I genuinely hand on heart, thought I was doing something nice for you. I thought about, I pictured your face,

seeing this person after you'd performed, hook the musical. And I thought you'd feel a swell of pride and I wanted to give that to you. So I did what I do best and I did a deep dive of finding someone for you from your pocket. Okay, who is it?

like put me out of my misery. It's just somebody that used to teach you music and drummer and dance. I'm not going to say their name. Oh my God. They were in Dan's diary, which is how we even knew about it. Oh my God, my dance teacher, the one that was teaching me the macarena. Okay, so here's the thing with her. She was an incredible teacher.

Yes. You've said that a few times. Is that the one you had the hots for? Clint! No, I did. For the purposes of live radio, no, I didn't. And she was a great teacher. And I will say this.

I will dread if she's coming to the show. Because I haven't seen her in 20 years since I was at school, but she was a really good supportive teacher. And I think she gave me the love of drama. Well, good news. She's not coming to the show. Brilliant. That is the best news I've heard in about four months.

Let me read you the email lesson. No. That I didn't get out. No! Stop emailing people from my past. Imagine if your mate emailed your heart. hot teacher on your behalf. She's not hot. Well, she, I mean, no.

Right. Look, it's a lovely email. It's not even that bad. I'm just, it's only awkward because there has been no reply. And then I did text. Don't say her name. I'm not going to say her name. I'm not going to say her. There was also a text. The text wasn't replied to it. It was just seen.

It doesn't matter. It was a lovely thing. Me too, like us actually even doing this musical, just another nice thing that we're doing for you. I didn't ask. Hi, blank. First of all, thank you so much for email. She emailed me first because I reached out to say, somebody else to try. It's been a very hard thing to

she reached out to the hotties teacher's friend to get it to get it and she was going to come and now she can't make it. They're probably all talking about it when they catch up for Rose's. You've really honestly got to stop. After this I will now. Right. So it just says thank you so much for emailing me. I'm unsure of how much you have followed Dan's

career after high school but I work with him on the morning show on the Edge Radio station. One of the things we do is I read out Dan's diary for when he was at Howard with his permission of course and you were mentioned if you were I'm just owning you as a friend. You're done.

Dan, this is me trying to do a nice thing for you. And Meg, did you send the photos of Dan's story? You were going to take photos of the entries. I did say I'll take photos and send them to you. You are honestly a piece of work. But I did not. I said I'll do that. And I said, but do you remember teaching Dan how to dance?

Of course she doesn't. Because he wanted to become, and I quote, a triple threat. You are taking the piss if you think you're doing this as a nice thing. I can't believe how much you think it's not. I said he was very set on learning the moonwalk. She thinks you're a loser, bro. Of course she does now. Still learning the moonwalk two decades after she's

The most mortifying thing that's ever happened to me. But you had him start with the box step. He has said since that he was very fond of you. You may as well have said he had a crush. You genuinely may as well said it. and I would love to know if you remember any of the lessons from your point of view. Namely, when he had to learn the macarena, but, and I quote,

you taught him to make it his own to which your feedback was that it was a little full on. I'm done, I'm leaving the show. He's there. This is my last date. He wrote a musical when he was at Howard, probably thinking it would one day be on Broadway. In reality, I made everyone and the team learn lines of memorise them,

and we are performing it would love you to be there. You are honestly, like horrible, freedom. I haven't heard you say thank you once to me. Not once if I had a thank you for doing this. Look, did I have a reply? I didn't get her reply and I didn't get a text back. That is fine. She doesn't want to come.

Got too crazy. I think it got too crazy for her. That email, she was like, whoa, I don't want to encourage this. The leader was saying she was curious when I said I'd like to talk to you about Dan Webby. That makes it worse because you've emailed her that and then she's lost curiosity completely. She's left you on scene. Yeah, that's what I was getting to from. Oh, my God.

My response. This is the worst. worst thing that could have ever happened. Yes, I had a little bit of a crush on her. And you've basically said that I did. I just said you were very fond of her. Very, very, I think I said. Very, very fond. Just very, very fond of her. That's all. And then he goes, do you think I should invite Tyker then? If we've got a spare seat, should we invite Tyker?

I would have preferred Tyker. Well, she's not coming, so it doesn't matter. You're welcome, by the way. You're so welcome. I'm so puffed. Take the edge off my life back again in less than 20 minutes. We could be sorting you out some cash if you need it for anything. Let's just take a little breather. We're going to be back in just a few minutes. It's there. Clint Megan Dan.

An iconic New Zealand specialty snack has been identified as one of the world's most increasingly sought after supermarket items for people that like to try international foods. In fact, it was number nine most searched and grew in 43% of searches over the past year and ready to bring the intro in Clint. It's called the Burkina. Yeah, the timing good now, that.

Perkinana. That went about as well as I thought it would. I did raise concerns. You did. Yeah, that's fair. You did. Hey, one thing on this show, mate, we did barrel through and come out.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. So it's the most Googled item, and it's a New Zealand thing, isn't it, the Perkinana? We've got a few in the studio right now. There's one for you, Clint. Thank you. Carl's brought them. It's described as banana-flavored tubar covered in delicious milk chocolate.

So think of all the stuff that it could. be on the list. International people googling. The Pavlova, you know, the kiwi fruit, all that sort of stuff. Pineapple lumps. Yeah, I thought pineapple looms would have beaten out a perky nana, but then again, I haven't had one in a long time, so maybe I forget how good they are. Let's have a bite. I'm having a bite

now. Did you just got one? It looks like a long pineapple lump, doesn't it? Yeah, I do love chucking a bar like this in the freezer first. Oh, God. It's very stretchy. It is delicious. There's nothing worse than hearing people eat on the radio. hate it whenever I hear someone eating on the radio, I change stations.

That's yum. This is my first one ever and that's real yum. First time. Yeah, I've never had one. That's yum. I'd prefer that to a pineapple lump, actually. I didn't know that I'd like this. It's got a nice sweetness at the end. Almost like a mixture of a pineapple lump and a banana flavor thing.

Someone's text through saying they could eat 10 in one go. Am I, are we just waking up to the perky nana in New Zealand? Is mine an extra stretchier or are yours like this too? You, you pit yours funny. Yeah. Let me see you do it again? No, don't. The amount of love coming through on the text machine right now for Perky Nanas

shocks me, because I think I probably had one in my whole lifetime. Okay, someone said Perky Nana, Cicciccic. She says, ah, elite exclamation. We can bring back the controversial top five when we can't decide on something, whether it's like famous Jennifer's, or in this case, I guess the most infamous chocolate bars in New Zealand. So the best chocolate bars? Yeah, like the top five.

Where does the Birki Nana even sit? Doesn't have to originate from New Zealand. I just think chocolate bars in general. I'm going to say this. I don't think it features anywhere near my top five. No. In terms of we're just talking about chocolate bars. It's fine.

Wow, it's Kylie's favorite chocolate bar. Good on you, Kylie. I mean, I... Don't be sad to Kylie. Everybody needs... No, well, you know, if you want it, that's your favourite. Fine. I would say my favourite is the creamy milk Whiticus.

It's classic. It's not trying to be. anything, it's just good, honest milk chocolate. Number one. Just a bland, normal chocolate. Yeah, but there's nothing boring about chocolate. Like chocolate straight down the middle good.

Because this is the best chocolate. Yeah. There's no doubt. What would you say is your number one? I chuck a bounty bar in my top three, easy. I like a twixt. Someone's text. Twix is, oh no, the morug gold.

You know, you get them... Yeah, when you get them in the favourites box, that's actually probably number one for me. Again, I'd say that that's a bit bland. Wow. I'd go cherry ripe in there. Someone says, that I give cherry ripe energy.

I like a pinky bar as well. The pinkie's nice. Okay, so if I could only have two in the top five, I think the bounty needs to be in there and I think the... Oh, that's controversial. Moru gold.

Which kind of covers off Twits, Meg. Moru gold. You mean moro? Sorry, that's just my Māori 116th coming out and... It's the Moorgold. Okay, bounce of... Moro gold.

Dad wants the Whitaker's Creamy Mammok. Okay, what do you reckon? If we're putting together top five, what needs to be in the top five. We don't need your full list. Warwick, Turkish Delight, no. Yeah, sorry, Warwick.

I'm voting Turkish Delight. No one likes Turkish Delight. That's why they are always left in the box and you've got to find one weirdo at work that takes all of them. Yeah. Dan gives Turkish Delight energy. I do not. Thank you very much.

I hate Turkish Delight. I like fruit and nut. Of course you do. What does that even mean? Yeah, of course you do. Clint, Meg and Dan. Okay, so we've all just had a taste of the Perky Nana because that was voted number nine most searched around the world for

kind of specific snack that you can only get in a certain country. We have now talked about the controversial top five, looking for the best top five chocolate bars. Lots of text coming in. I'm trying to collect the votes, but lots of new ones are coming in. I forget how many we have. It shocks me the amount of love coming through for the Perky Nana. Actually, yeah, if you do weigh in on this, and we've got a few left, Carl, that we can give

away, although the posters probably cost more than the bar, but. Yeah, it definitely cost the boss quite a bit that he, He doesn't know about, but we've got heaps to give away. Okay, so every caller wins a perky nana. That's it. All right, well, Aaron, what are you voting for for the controversial top five? Oh, the Pixie Caramel, can't beat it. Oh, yes.

Now, here's the thing, Aaron. I used to love the Pixie Caramel as well. But have you noticed they're not as good as they used to be. Oh, really? Skimping. Just recently. Yeah, they have changed a little bit. Have they?

But they start chocolate and the caramel. Oh, can't beat it. Wait, do you... I don't even know what a... I've never had one. Have you eaten it straight out of the past? I could already freeze it first, Darren. I'm straight out of the packet, to be fair.

It's a bit chewy if you freeze it. I think it would be too crispy. Like you want it to be soft caramel in the middle, eh? So freezing it would make it too hard. Remember the ads? The longer lasting chew, and then that end up give any last request, and he'd give him a pixie caramel, and then the guy would, like, end up jumping out of the firing line.

No, no one remembers that one. Because that was about 4,000 years ago. Hi, Belinda. That's a good ad. Hi. Okay, so what's your vote for the best chocolate bar in the country? There's another text for the pinky. Well, it's a new one.

It's the Cadbury Cream Burleigh Camel, and it's like my new favourite. Now, the thing is with these ones, the new, like, ones they're trying to make a new flavour, I've never liked them. If they were good, it would have already existed ages ago. They're trying to be all fancy. I do like a caramel milk. You know, the new, like, burnt caramel chocolate. I do like that. Okay, Belinda, we'll get a Purky Narn out to you and also Aaron.

Meg's collating all the votes that are coming through, by the way. I'm staying quiet in the background. Pinky bars are coming through a bit. No, definitely. I love a pinky bar. No way. It's just like pink marshmallow? Yeah, and caramel.

Oh, I love it. They're good in the freezer. They're like a buzz bar. Right. Okay, Jesse, what's in the top five for you? The Eero chocolate bar. Oh, yes. Hero?

Yeah. Less chocolate more air. It's like chocolate and it's got all the bubbles all through it. It just like melts when you suck on it. Yes. I thought I was the only one sucking on it. But you can't. Like, if you give it a good hard suck,

It makes the... No, I'm just saying about the chocolate. And it sort of bubbles out more, don't you think, Jesse? Yeah, it's so good. Yeah, it's delicious. I absolutely love it. And Clint, do you know that you can make homemade bounty bars with three ingredients?

No! Yeah, so all you do is get coconut, like shredded coconut, add it with condensed milk, roll it into balls, freeze it, and then you melt dark chocolate, dip it in there, and 20 minutes later, you've got a whole batch of them.

Incredible. Oh, mate, I'm all over that today. I wouldn't just buy a bounty bar, though. That's the question. Thanks, Jessie. It sounds like a lot of work. We need to get into, take the eaddrop of my life. So this is my list.

Okay. Okay. Number five, Perky Nana. Okay, I made the list. It did. Feels fair. This is such a crazy list. Number four, crunchy bar.

Oh, yes, that's come through a lot. Good to put that in there. Really? And I think that's a New Zealand staple is where I remember the ads on the train. Clint, you'd remember them that are old stuff. Yeah, yeah, with the country Western dudes. Yeah, yeah. Number three?

The Pixie Caramel. Okay. Okay. Oh, Aaron, you got one in there, mate. Okay, so now we're into the top two. The best chocolate bars in the country as voted by our listeners. Matthew has also said boost bar. Number two, the pinky.

Oh, my God. I think that's been put in by me. Wow. No, no, you read the text. So many pinkie bars. And number one. Number one. The best chocolate bar in the country as voted by you.

A kick cat. Shut up, Megan. This is the worst list ever. It's not my list. I've just put the votes together. The bounty. Kit Kat's not even proper chocolate. It's a wafer.

Yeah. The bounty and the boost didn't even make the top five. Creamy milk's not even in there. There's not one Whitaker's chocolate. You can do the next break. You do the next break by yourself, Meg. Dan and I are taking a breather. We're going to go calm down.

We've got it and added them up. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my gosh. Clint and Dan have actually left the studio because I put together a list of the top five most controversial chocolate bars as voted by you. and they got so mad of me, Dan swore at me and then stormed out.

So we're going to take the edge off your life. Clips swore as well. No, I don't think he did actually. Get out if you're going to stay out. We're going to call somebody. If it is you, make sure you answer your phone with Take the Edge of My Life, and you will be winning the money that you have asked for. Calling the person now.

Should have had the number dialed in, Meg. Oh, piss off, Dan. If you honestly, you either commit to leaving or you stay. What are you going to do? You want to sit down? No, I'll stay out of it. Okay. Well, then shut up.

Right, here we go. Four eight. Yeah. Right. Calling her now. Dad, I don't think. You also. Sorry, I wouldn't say anything else.

Take the edge of my life. Dollars to cover your son's 21th birthday cake. Angus is turning 21 in August. Oh, thank you guys. You're so welcome. All right, we're back. What does a mum feel about her son doing a yardie on a 21st?

Is that just not a thing anymore? Oh, no, he'll be doing that. That's 21 jobs. Nice. Nice, nice. Well, at least that's one thing to kind of take the edge off your life a little bit, and you can now relax with... How much is it cake these days?

It's expensive, right? Yep. Really expensive. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's all covered. That's all covered. That's all covered. Have an awesome day today, Ray.

Thank you so much. Hey, Ray, before you go, just a quick question, random one. What's your favorite chocolate bar? Snickers? Good one. That should have been in the top five. You're right. Yeah, really.

My list. I'm just putting together the votes. It's a shocker. Actually, you know what? I'm going out again. You brought it back up. I'm not annoyed. I need another breather. Meg, can you do the next bit by yourself? Of course I can. Don't worry, Dan will help co-host and shut from the door.

It's the Meg Mansell show. You're on the edge. Clint, Meg and Dan. Around this time yesterday, if you were chained and you would have heard us talking about things, that guys can do to instantly make them more attractive to women and other guys. The backwards cap was Meg's, among other things. come through. Backwards cab, a beanie with a hood up or a front front cap with a hood up.

Stubbies came in a lot and redband. Yeah, red band gumboots, hey? Well, we're sort of flipping it now and finding out what can make someone less attractive. And that is why we have our web girl Bella in studio with us this morning, who is a 10, but she's lost a few points because we've realised... You make potions of some sort.

Yeah, I'm a witch. I'm also a self-confessed witch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I've seen a photo of the concoction that you cooked up in your spell. Caldron. A cauldron the other night. And it was, you call it a chicken stock, don't you? No, it's a chicken bone broth.

Very different. Okay. It's a bone broth. Yeah, so you can see the picture by Texan Story to 3, 3, 4, 3. The thing is, it's just vegetables and water and chicken feet and other herbs and spice. Boiling chicken feet is kind of, because it's kind of like, I feel like it'd be like boiling shoes and then drinking the water. water from it. Well, no, because the chicken

feet has, like, the most skin on it, and so that's where you're getting all the collagen. I'd argue the other parts of the chicken have skin as well. Well, no, because I'm using a chicken frame, which doesn't have any skin on it. I buy a whole chicken frame. So there's a whole What do you mean? You buy a whole chicken, like, but carcass. Yeah, and it's under the feet.

We can't see it in the photo. Hold in a second. So the carc is... There's a whole chicken in there with no meat on it, and somebody's taking the meat off, and you buy the skeleton of the chicken. Yeah, I'm making use of the skeleton. I know. It's a good thing.

Because the thing is, I don't eat me and I haven't eaten meat for coming up 15 years now. But Bella, it's that whole, like, what is it? It's like, they eat the whole body. Terrific. Yeah, I recommend if it's going to die an animal. You might as well. So who ate the meat? Who ate the meat beforehand? Oh, it was at a butcher,

so I assume that's what they cut off. They sell the meat. They sell the breasts separately. Right. So you buy the breasts, Dan, and then Bella buys the leftover bits that nobody buys. Okay. So Clint's gone and he's had the breasts. I go in after it. I go, I have the carcass. classic me

I feel like I've had the shitty you have the thighs click gets the breast and then bell against the skeleton Why does he always get the breast Has that it's got head and everything? No no no Just the like bottle

Okay so we thought you When we saw this By texting story to 33443 We thought you were serving it up As a soup like that With chicken feet And we were like Oh my goodness

So you're just taking the broth Yeah I strain everything So I'll strain the carcass The feet and all the veggies And it's just a clear liquid broth Full of Carcass isn't appetising, is it?

No. Okay, frame. Chicken frame. Yeah. Okay, even then. Right. Okay, because we were thinking, all right, you're a 10, but based on your poor cooking skills, it takes you down to an 8. Hey, poor cooking skills is not accurate. I am a good cook. I'm in a bat for myself. I mean, she's making bone broth, so that would be a good cook, but it's just, you walk into a kitchen, you see feet sticking out of pot. It's a little unernerable. It looks witchy. It really does. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. I did send something. What did I send to you the other day, Dan? I said that the best relationship men that people assume are gay

with women who would have been burned at the state because they thought to be a witch 100 years ago. So like, you know, there's something in it. Yeah, but she's great to. And I've always thought Jayden's gay. Yeah, it's the best relationship. Okay, why don't you call us, obviously your partner's a 10, but then you tell us their floor

and then we'll work out what they are now. Like, what does their floor cost them in terms of a score? How many points do they lose? I think a 10 like you, let's say you can. can't cook, but it sounds like you're right. I think you only lose two points for that. Make you're an eight if you're like walking in with a chicken feet out of the pot and stuff. Yeah, if you were trying to serve chicken feet for me for a meal, you've gone from a 10 to an 8.

Oh yeah. Let's say Bella was a 10. I would drop her down to a 7. That's how important food is for Dad. But I'm just looking after my health, my gut health and I'm trying to better myself. Your gut health is not good if you're eating that. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Literally.

Call us, tell us, the floor on your partner and we'll work out. if it takes them from a 10 to a watt. What's wrong with some probiotic yogurt? Yeah, agree. Agreed, Dan. Yeah. I have that as well. Some kiefer. That's exactly where Bella looks like she does

and you look like you do. Yes, a haggard old, shriveled up. Shrimp, what are you saying? I don't know. I just like that's all pager. Clint Meg and Dan. We're talking yesterday about the things

that make people more attractive. Flip it on its head this morning with the things that can make people less attractive. Your partners are 10. Tell us what their floor is, and then we'll give them a new score. Absolutely. Or everyone starts.

it's 10 and then they go down. Yeah, we just assume everyone's hot as a. F. Yeah, yeah. Okay, Logan sticks through. My partner is great. Great cook, cleans the house. Okay, has my back with everything. Ten. Okay, they made her lose ten status when she slept with another man. Oh, so Logan's saying she's a zero now. Well, he just said lose the ten status. So what would we get? So, like, good cook supports you. But cheated. But then cheated. But they're so high up there. The other stuff they're doing. There are two. They got to, you're going to be careful because they might. I work through it with all the great stuff that he's still saying about her.

To be honest, he is talking about them like they're not in the past tense. He's going, my partner is great. Okay, so I'm going to go four then, Logan. Two. Because you're working through some stuff. Dad. I'm going to go six. Because they'd be working hard to make it up.

Unpopular, okay? Okay. They sound apart from the cheating. They sound great. Okay, that's good to Mia. Mia, your partner's a 10, but... My partner's a 10, but he has an entire binder full of... of just whale lord Pokemon cards.

Oh, that puts him up to an 11. I reckon he keeps his 10. I like a guy that has a hobby, something he's passionate about. My son loves Pokemon cards. So if he's listening on the way to school, I don't want him thinking that's not cool. And Mia, I would have to agree, I married a nerd. So 10. You got a 10, sorry.

Brilliant. And apparently he's going to be rich from it. Exactly. Exactly. You got a 10. Tell him not to trade those Charmander ones, especially. Charisandah ones, yeah. Oh, the Charisard.

Oh, my God, has he got a holographic Charazard? I'll swap him one. swapping your radar tail. Imagine that as a wife you're like, oh God, he's such a loser, he's got Pokemon cards, and then you find out that he ends up getting a house deposit by selling his collection. Yeah, I saw one guy sold his

Charazade or whatever it was, very, very popular card and bought the money, what a ring with the money, and then said, I choose you. I choose you. Yeah. Amazing proposal. That's so cute. What about this person?

They said, my partner's a 10, but he's got to the age where he grunts every time he stands up and sits down? I think that's just part of life I quite like a grumpy old man That doesn't bother me Eight Nine Yeah and I have back issues

So I feel a bit bad for this person Who knows They might have fallen out of a tree Out of a tree when they're 11 like me I'm gonna give him a nine Sarah you're un Savage My partner's a 10 but he gets kidney stones Poor God

It's not his fault It's very painful I've heard Yeah But when you be sitting there I'm like again Honestly what are you up to Six He'd be very vocal I think

Seven Six He's a 10 but he's not that smart. He never picks up on hints. The kids guess the words I'm spelling out before he does. He's very little emotional intelligence and I think intelligent intelligence.

No fourth though. Jamie Randall, stop texting the show, wasn't. Good at housework and good in the bedroom. It was definitely Jamie Randall. Jamie Randall. You think my wife's texting through? I'm going to get five on that. I need intelligence. Yeah. Especially emotional intelligence.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no emotional intelligence would be really hard. This one you can relate to me. My partner's a 10, but he snores. If you've got space to be in separate bedrooms, still a 10. If you don't, a 5. So is Guy still a 10 in your books? Yes, he is.

What if he was sleeping together? Oh. There's another one. My partner's a 10, but he's not a dog person. What does that now make him? One. Really? Yeah, I'd just see, people that don't like animals or dogs in a particular.

No. That's so weird. Yeah, it's like a 4 for me. Four or five, yeah. That's a weird thing not to like. Yeah. He's a 10, but he gets belly button lint. Oh, we all get that, mate.

We do not. Is my wife texting the show? Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my gosh. This is something I've been looking to since we started the show at 6 o'clock. And you know what? It's a heartwarming thing for me. Because we've spoken about it before.

And I think all three of us are in the same boat with this situation. Our colleges, our high schools, have not listed us on their website as notable alumni. Now, I think Clint eventually might have had the principal call him personally. and say actually, no, we love it. I think we spoke to a receptionist, and she was like, no. And then I got a message from the principal saying she's like, oh my God, she's like, I listen every morning. Well, until you get featured on the website under the notable alumni, I'm not taking that.

No way, I'm on the Sacred Heart College, Lower Heart. And we wondered why, Dan, you wouldn't feature with all your accolades. And then Meg actually read out the alumni list of people that went to your school, and she's just stacked full of stars. Amelia Wormsey, current silver firm. Right. Never. You're an asshole if you don't believe women's sports.

No, I've heard of her. Yeah, now you say it. Gretzville Luxin, 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. Kidamine, winner of Rupil's Drake Race Down Under.

Really? Really? I did not know that. Incredible, incredible list. Tex Edwards, two degrees founder, which is incredible. Founded two degrees? Yes. My goodness, okay.

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

Dan Williamson, Olympic old meddlist, Robin. Dan Williamson. Dan, that is more famous than the Olympians and the silver fans, you're honest to God, thought she was going to say Webby. Who, who's what's his name? Dan Williamson.

I genuinely, text her, have you heard of him? So sad it turns out. His sister listens to the edge. He goes, that's my brother. I've heard of him now. I've heard of him. Yeah, yeah. Now you know.

Well, stop the press. Oh, oh. Because I had a message come through to my direct messages on Instagram from someone. I'm not going to say the name. He's nervous. How they happen? It reads like this. Hello, damn.

I'm collecting the where are they now profiles for how at college alumni. we would be honoured if we could feature you on the website full stop now I haven't gone back yet too many things to think of have you been compiling the list since May

well they did message me in May if I'm honest and I miss I missed the message so it's been a while I haven't gone back was at the end of it no there was more but it doesn't matter what they said after that what are you going to put what it's going to be sorry Clint what did they say they just gave more details

she asked to say we just need to know what exactly you do someone said you're kind of famous what do you do? I actually have no idea who you are I've never heard of you could you please send through what exactly you do in an overview of your life

and your career since leaving school Oh yeah they have no idea who you are yeah they just heard you complaining about bitching about like a little kid Do you think that's what's happened They've heard it then like oh good my buddy Oh just put them on the website Yeah put him right down the bottom

disappear after keep scrolling. Under Dad Williamson. What would be at the top though? Because if you've done a lot of things, Dan, what's the most impressive thing? What's your feature at the top? Go on.

What's the most impressive thing you've done with your career? Working with Meg Mantle. I think that's sort of the pinnacle in it. It's such a stupid idiot. Yeah, like getting up there, like working with one of the top 10 female broadcasters in the music.

We know I don't make that list because we've Wikipedia did that too. So please don't bring that up. Yeah, maybe it can feature on that. That'd be great. Drop into my DMs, I'll sort it out. Okay, I'll wait under the edge. What is the most impressive thing you've done since high school?

If your high school will hit you up and said we want to chuck you on the notable alumni list, what would be at the top for you? What have we gone on to do? Working with Meg? Yeah, for us, that's it. What is that for you if you look at and go, what's the most impressive thing I've done since 18?

Clint, Meg and Dan. Dan's school has reached out and asked him to send through some things he's done in his career so that they can include him in the notable alumni from his school. Which is good for you, Dan. Something that I don't think I'll leave it. Well, here's the thing. I don't think I'm going to be very high up the list. Like the Prime Minister of New Zealand went to my school,

as you said, Meg, some of the Silver Ferns, you know, there's a lot. Graham Hart, I think he's like New Zealand's second or third richest man. He went to my high school as well. So you're only like top ten, aren't you? Heavy hitters. But what is, if you might not make the alumni with it, But what is the most impressive thing that you have done since high school? Well, Cameron's called through me.

Yes. And Cameron, I mean, this is an impressive thing you've done. What did you do since you left high school? I had kids started a family. Had kids and started a family. It does make me mad that the world is so focused on careers that apparently having children and raising them isn't a very important thing seen societally wise,

but it should be the most important thing and the most impressive thing raising good kids. What are your kid stats? How many got? How old are they? Two kids. They are three and four, and we're looking after my wife's brother who was six.

Wow. You're an incredible person. You know what? That probably could make the notable alumni. It should. It should. If you get a sec, I'll give you a double pass to get out and check out our musty movie. One Last Ride, Jackass, Best and Last.

It's in cinemas. July 2nd, rated R-16 nudity in offensive language. Take the four-year-old. That'd be amazing. Thanks, Cameron. Good on you, mate. Emma's text story, this is interesting. Immigrated from the UK to New Zealand.

Two businesses with a partner, five kids. Five! Wow. One thousand dollars off Sharon Osborne. I want to hear more about that. I think Emma is also like Chavney. She's got the real accent. Yes, she was great.

She's great, love her accent. And it's got to Jane. Jane, your guidance counsellor told you what when you were at high school? I was in high school and I left at 15. They told me that I would amount to nothing because I just didn't employ myself. And I just didn't fit into school. So I left school and since then I've done a bachelor in applied science with a major in psychology. Wow.

And I work with dual diagnosis, disabilities and mental health. Wow, good on you, Jane. So you're giving back to society. that's exactly it yeah good on you yeah exactly yeah that's incredible yeah

yeah you know there's something in people telling you not going to be very good because it does give you the drive you determined the most impressive thing

people have done since high school someone's text and I got my blackout in karate imagine that's hard to do take a lot of time I lost 65 kilos after getting a fright from my doctor my goodness

another one paid off my mortgage before 40 it must have been a terrible fright if you lost 65 KG yeah someone else built their own home with their dad and didn't even know how to swing a hammer before they started. But none of these are as incredible as Genevieve. Genevieve, what is the most accomplishment thing that you've done?

Meg's the English language, learning that finally. It's my second language. Did you mean what's her most impressive accomplishment today? Yes, thank you, Clint. Those words get mixed up. Go ahead, Genevieve. I had two sets of twins. Two sets! How far apart?

That's a litter. They are six and four. My goodness me. You had twins and then two years, within what, a year and something you got pregnant again? With more twins? Yeah. I had four under two and a half. What are the chances of that happening?

Is someone given you the chances of having two sets of twins consecutively? Yeah. No, I don't really know, but probably quite low, I imagine. I could imagine. Oh, my gosh. Four under two and a half. You're done now, eh? You're done. Oh, yes.

Oh, yes. Be honest. 100% honest here, Genevieve. When they told you the second set were going to be twins again. Brank. Like, were you... How was your feelings at that moment? My husband and I spent the week

going, two more. Two more. Two more. Luckily, we had... Luckily, we had twins. True. You already have twins everything. Yeah. Wow. Incredible, Genevieve. We could not have done it. Yeah, I hope your mental health is good. She needs to be on the notable alumni.

Yeah. Yeah. That's incredible. Far out. I bet the person who texts in that they've got their blackout now feels a bit shameful. Yeah. Chanor, Manichol,

Dan. Dan Williams and sister is texting again. Oh, okay. That's so funny. I want to hear more of Clint, Meg and Dan, but completely unfiltered. Catch their Overthinkers audio and video pod every single day on the Rover app. All wherever you get your pots.
