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.
Be it bricky.
Clint Megan Dan with Ash London.
Hitt's harder in Auckland.
Good morning, one to six.
On your Monday, the 1st of December, Dan is officially allowed to celebrate Christmas.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, Christmas tree up this week, definitely.
We tried yesterday, couldn't get it out of the attic.
So instead we're going today and get a freshie.
Oh, are you going to get a real one?
And do you know what?
In Australia, I hate being that person who's like, yeah, Australia.
But a six-foot, like a real tree in Australia
would cost you maybe $180,200?
God, that's expensive.
So we looked at the place down the road from us, and it's like, 90 bucks.
Yeah.
We were like, well, wouldn't you get a real one?
How would be any money in it?
The amount of land you would need,
and the amount of time you'd need to let them grow,
and you get 90 bucks a tree.
Especially at the farm nearer.
I seen Sandringham in central Auckland
where that land would be worth a mint.
I reckon, I guess if you've already got the land
and you're just like, oh, why don't we just build some trees on it, grow them?
Still, it's $5,000 a year.
Yeah, but then also maybe they do those things
where they're like trees from $90.
And then when Ash gets here and sees the one she wants, it's like $450.
Well, they've got the room for it, Clint.
Have you seen their mansion? Boy, over.
No.
High stud on that thing?
I'm not rich enough to be allowed in.
Very high stud.
Yeah.
You can put two on top of each other and still have room.
Thanks to Body Arm Alight.
We have another $500 to give away nice and early every day this week.
Still?
Yeah.
So if you want a Body Arm Alight, Prize pack and 500, just tick through what is your rev-up track?
We'll get somebody on the show next, and we'll saw you out of 500 bucks to start your week.
Come on, what a start.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
We are looking for your Rev-Up track this morning that's going to score you a Body-Arma-Light prize pack in 500 bucks cash.
Bodhiama, like, dropped a whole lot of drinks off on Friday, actually.
Did that?
Did you take them all home?
I just took one.
Didn't share with us, hey, Ash.
This was me on.
Oh, no, that was because you guys were long gone, mate.
I was still weird at work.
Morning, Alex.
Good morning.
I'm back for the third time.
Oh, yes, Alex.
Oh, yeah, Alex is over two.
We all hate the song you've chosen.
I'm not going to lie to you.
Can you think of another song while we got you on the air?
What about one of my ones from last week?
They were better, right?
No, they lost, though.
Choose your best one. Choose your best one, not Black Eyed Peas.
All I ever wanted, Bass Hunter.
Coy, come on.
Look, we love you, Alex, and I'd trust me.
I'd follow you into war.
No, you would not.
Dan would never follow anyone into war.
But if it was a war against the best pop song ever, not the case.
We're not going to do that.
Alex, we're going to go to two other callers,
and then we're going to come back to you, Alex,
because I want you to win the money,
but you need to do better than that.
Okay.
Let's go to Emily.
Emily, good morning in Christchurch.
Morning.
How's it down there in the chicha this morning?
Gorgeous, I bet.
That's a beautiful morning.
Ready for the week.
I've been watching Lewis Capaldi on his stories,
just enjoy his time in Christchurch the last couple of it.
They went to time zone in Christchurch.
Really?
My son's favourite place in the whole of Altadour.
The game over or whatever with the...
I don't know what they were doing,
but I was like, is that time zone in Christchurch?
And I looked at the tag and it was like,
Christchurch.
I was like, come on.
You imagine you're just doing the old basketball.
game or whatever. The fishing
one's actually the best. You're doing the fishing one
and then you turn and you go, that guy looks like Lewis Capelty.
That is. What's the song you want to
suggest this morning, Emily, and don't say
Lewis Capoli. Okay, two downbuzz.
No. No. My one didn't
get through last week either. So here I am
for ready for the encore with
Jay-Z.
You know what? Do you want
more? You know what?
You want a struggle, I reckon,
without the Jay-Z version.
They do love me.
me a bit of Jay-Z.
It is a good option.
Really solid option there, M.
She's leading.
It's a front-runner.
And Renee, what are you wanting to suggest this morning?
I'm wanting to suggest Crazy and Love, Beyonce and Jay-Z.
Aye.
Crazy-right now.
It's a tricky one.
Oh, hey, you're in Napier Hastings, Renee.
Did you see all the orcas?
I'm in Hastings today.
Do you said?
It's going to be a hot one.
There are a whole lot of orcas that got stuck in sort of estry there.
Yeah, did you see them?
No.
No, I'm in Hastings, so I'd have to go over to Napier.
But that's okay.
A bit of a hike.
In the news.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, I look pretty epic.
Those are out there because the whales obviously got out.
Do we want to add one more option to the mix, or do we want to just...
We'll go back to Alex and just see if she's come up with anything better.
Yeah, have you come up with anything better, Alex?
Because I don't think you're going to win this.
No, I'm too tired.
I'll come back tomorrow.
Alex, we won't give me the $500 this week, I promise you.
It's yours to lose this week, Alex, if I'm honest.
You'll get there.
You what?
It's okay.
I'll talk to you in the morning.
Okay, I love you, Alex.
She's on first off.
She's going back to the end.
She will.
She'll get it.
Let's make it our mission to try and get her the money.
Oh, that's so funny.
Okay, well, then it looks like we're going to be going with, we're going with him?
Yeah.
Em, congratulations.
What do you need to get up and about for this morning?
Oh, I am prepping myself ready for the first day of Christmas.
If you've got an elf on a shelf, I'm prepping myself for 24 days.
Oh, yeah.
Elves are out today, are me.
My elves, I'd notice.
They're out.
When I got up this morning, they were already making a mess in my house.
What?
What a nightmare.
All right, well, you've got a body arm alight hydration pack that is coming your way.
And also $500 cash, M.
Thank you, man.
amazing. Thank you so much, guys.
You're so welcome. Body arm and light, rapid hydration, irresistible
tastes. Let's stand up, come on.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Jay-Z, Lincoln Park, numb on core on the edge. It is your rev-up track.
Your body arm a light, rev-up track. Thanks to Emily, was it? Who won?
Yeah, it was, Emily. Yeah. Fantastic choice.
Alex, I'll be back tomorrow.
Alex, if you're listening, babe, less and more like maybe a boy bandie or like,
if you're going to, if that's the key, if you're, if you're going to, if that's the key,
if you want to get me and Clint on side.
She's gone back to bed, I reckon anyway.
She's not listening anymore.
What a masterclass that was from Lincoln Park and Jay-Z to team up.
You'd never really put those two artists together, would you?
Very different artists.
I wonder who hit up who on that?
Great question.
I reckon Lincoln Park would have hit up Jay-Z.
God, I love that album when it came out.
I thought it was so cool.
I wonder it'd be an interesting conversation I was supposed to have.
And what situational worlds do Lincoln Park and Jay-Z collide
and then go, we should do music.
Like, you know, we should have a song.
Like, you know, we should have a surprise, like award shows.
Yeah.
And they were probably both, in their own right,
the biggest bands in the world at the time.
You know, Lincoln Park were huge.
Jay-Z was huge.
Yeah.
Let's just combine our powers.
And when we do a bit of a coffee catch-up round this time,
just a bit of a whip-around,
catch-up to what's been happening since we last hung out,
you shared an off, I don't know if it was an off-air story
about someone making,
having an opinion on your appendage.
Is that for on or off here?
No, it was...
Oh, do you want me to do it later on?
Yeah, it was...
Oh, do you want me to do it later on?
No, I think I can share it now.
It's early.
So, my son and I, we shower every night.
He's just coming up to, he's two in February, George.
Best age?
Yeah, it is.
I started to talk.
He's just starting, and he's talking really well now.
He's stringing sentences together and stuff.
And we have a shower every night, and I get in there,
and I've got one of those showers where you can take the head off and, like, wash.
So I sort of crouched down in the shower.
He's standing there, and I sort of wash his whole body.
That's so good, and he likes showers.
Most kids, his age, he loves a shower.
Oh, buddy, he hates it.
And he's just started getting to the point where he's noticing things on Dad's body,
which he hasn't noticed in the past.
And last night, we were in the mid-shower.
Hannah was outside waiting for him to get out so she can dry him.
And he just looks over at my little Johnson.
I mean, for the sake of the story, you could call it a huge Johnson.
I don't know up to you.
You're telling the story.
And you tell me what he was thinking
because he pointed at it
and the only thing that came out of his mouth
and he just goes,
oh, dad.
Now I took that in the room,
I was like, come on.
Hannah cracked up laughing my wife.
Oh, she knew what he was meaning.
Oh, dad.
They're the best.
You did with it what you could.
And I was like, yeah, you were here because of it.
So get out of the shower
and let dad finish up,
Oh my goodness me
Nightmare
Oh that's the stuff
You want to like
Clint can't relate
Hey look at a good friend
And be like
Don't worry Dan
But nah
He's just staying quiet
I'm not sure how I
Like
Help at all in that situation
I'm like
Maybe he meant
No that doesn't work
But what if he
No
No
Oh well jokes on him
Because he's got your jeans
Exactly
Or maybe he's got
Hannah's jeans
In that area
I don't
I want to see the science on that.
Like, do men inherit?
Because my cousin's kids have got the hugest.
And we had a family, like, swim party.
And these kids that are running around naked, everyone was like,
oh my God!
And my cousin was like, I know, I know, takes up to the father.
Really?
I was so, like, every, you couldn't deny it.
And it was a funny thing.
And now the whole family,
these kids are going to grow up with everyone.
Yeah, because you know how you say
if you're going bald, it's your mum's dad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wonder what is the gene that gives you the big old one.
I guess it's, I don't know what to find out.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
I get a little distracted by the Formula One race at the moment.
But people don't like when you give live updates?
No.
Because they're like, I was going to watch it when I got home.
Yeah, the people that aren't true fans watch it delay.
If you're up and listening to the radio at 623 and you love F1, you could be up watching the F1.
Yeah, have the radio on, then have the Formula One on your phone.
Yeah, Glean now News guy.
it's a lot of hate texts when he starts reporting on the news,
which is his job and what he's made to do.
First call of the day.
First call of the day.
Tyler, from Christchurch.
We've heard already from someone else in Christchurch.
It's a beautiful morning there.
Morning.
It's beautiful.
Lovely.
Did you see Lewis Capaldi out and about this weekend in Christchurch or no?
No, I haven't seen him yet, but I'm wondering if he's gone home already.
Who knows?
You know that in town, you know that beautiful?
little old street there's a tram goes through
with a little colourful cafes and it's so
chic. Yes, New Region. Yes.
He was there just sitting there with
his mates having a coffee and they were trying to get the tram
driver to like do, he's just parked
and they're like a metre away from him
and they're sitting there like, do you bail, do
your bell, do you bail. The tram day was having none of it.
Hey, most
people in the morning's getting breakfast
ready for at least themselves, maybe a couple of kids.
How many people are you making bricky
for this morning, Tyler?
Oh, we've served and I think we've got a
53 packs on top
of the public and the other guest.
Oh my goodness, man. Is that at a hotel?
Yes, yes.
Massive tour group at the Mayfair and Christchurch.
Oh, beautiful.
What's the best thing about the Mayfair?
Sell it to us if you come under Christchurch, Washington State.
Definitely, I'm going to say the people and the food.
The food is amazing.
Executive Chef Nick Tatum does the best food.
Wow.
Mayfair's like the fan, one of the two fans.
Yes, nice.
I'm in a rush.
I don't have time to.
cheek. Come on, baby.
I don't have time to look at the menu. What should I order?
What's the best thing on the menu?
Definitely the cheeky hash. It's lovely beef cheek
cheek cooked into the hash brown with a nice poached eggs,
hollandays.
Oh my gosh. Give me two of them.
Come see us. Come see us. We need to, darling. I need to do that.
Yes, stop going to smokey teas. Come to us.
Ah, she knows me too well.
I love you, Tyler.
We're going to be in Christchurch for electric have.
early next year.
So we should try and get our accommodation.
Yeah, can you have a chat to your boss?
We can't afford the Mayfair.
But if he can give us 30, 40% off.
Can he sleep in the lobby?
Can he extend any Black Friday deals?
Yeah, we use Ash 80 at checkout.
80.
Oh, Tyler, we'll definitely come and have breakfast around Electric Ave time.
We'd love to meet you.
What are you saying?
That'll be wonderful.
I love you guys.
We love you, too.
I have a fantastic day.
meantime, we're going to send you a Zad voucher to go spend
in store, however you like for your troubles
this morning, Tyler, putting up with us, sir.
No, thanks, guys. I love you.
You've made my morning great.
Have a good Christmas if we don't speak to you before.
If you love raspberry, rhubarb, coconut,
you'll love Zed's new chill drinks.
Get amongst them on the way into work, treat yourself.
I must talk about smoky teas quite a lot.
That's your blind spot at?
You're going on to other places.
They're not the only breakfast eatery.
Final lap.
And the Formula One.
The Clint Migg and Dan podcast.
Gossip of Entertainment.
Scandal.
Clendell is all thanks to Woolworth.
Woolworths have entered the final countdown to the final countdown.
Very clever.
I'll never forget when I was the first time I ever came, Taltiro, I went to Queenstown.
And I was driving through from the airport and I saw a sign for a supermarket.
It's the same font as Woolworth's.
It's the same colours as Woolworth.
But it's called Countdown.
I just blew my mind.
I always love the Woolworth's name.
Where is the final countdown in New Zealand?
Let us know if you've still got one,
and it hasn't quite changed over to Woolworth yet.
Used to be Safeway.
Did you ever have a safe way?
Never had Safeway.
Australia went from Safeway to Woolworth.
Anyway.
We used to have a thing called Big Fresh.
Do you remember that, Clint?
Years and years ago.
Three guys.
Yeah.
Three guys.
That sounds like a pizza place.
No, that's two guys and a girl.
And a pizza place.
What a show that was.
He is good.
I want to talk about Ariana Grande.
the Arevo for a minute because I there's so many memes going around at the moment so much content
so much chat about um how their bodies have changed and I know it's not something we talk
about right we don't like to comment on women's bodies it's taboo it's not really our place
but a friend of mine I wasn't even a friend it was someone um that I follow on Instagram had posted
something that got me thinking she's got teenage daughters like young teens kind of 13 14 years
old. And she said that
they had to have a sit-down conversation
before they went to see the Wicked
two film about
the changes in the two female
leads bodies because it is clear to everyone that they've
lost a lot of weight. And all you've got
to do is see like the videos going around. It'll be like
before Wicked and it shows you the cast
and then after Wicked you're like, what has happened on this?
Yeah. It is one of those things that
like I said, we don't want to sit here and critique
women's bodies and that's not what I'm trying to do. I want to have a
discussion about how do we approach this?
When you have girls gone through puberty, teenage girls,
and it's very obvious that their bodies are very, very different,
and they are very thin, but you want to enjoy your film
and you know that it's going to come up.
Ariana Grunner has shared something on her socials over the weekend,
a reminder from like the last press tour they did
where she talks about, you know, since she was 16,
her body has been dissected and she's felt like a petri dish.
And I have so much empathy for her because that would be so hard.
But at the same time,
these are role models
they're in the news
they're up in lights
and it's something that we have to discuss
with young people and you've got a daughter
and it's such a hard one
and I don't know how to approach you
I don't know what the right answer is
and it's tricky as well because
the press tour of the wicked
movie the second one has been relentless
you can't go on Instagram
without seeing them
so you can imagine that there's all these young kids
that are seeing these two women that are thrusted
and held up to high regard
which they should be.
They're so skinny.
They are, amaciated time.
The first Wicked movie was all about how weird their friendship was.
What is going on there?
They're too intense.
And now Wicked 2, all the chatter is about how much weight they've lost.
I know, and it's how they can't seem to win.
And I would imagine that the relentless schedule, the press tour, the stress.
I mean, that is going to take its toll on a woman's body.
And for many of us, that's kind of the first thing that happens
when you're living that kind of a life is your body just sheds weight.
It's actually quite jarring to see.
Cynthia Revo because they filmed the two movies together
and Cynthia actually isn't
as skinny as she is now in the movie
she actually looks healthy in the movies
but then when you see the juxtaposition
from the movie to now
she has lost so much weight
and it's so hard to know
I don't know where the line is
as a mother as someone who takes my
platform seriously
I don't want to critique
but I also like we have to be honest
about what we're seeing here
and figure out how we have that conversation
with young people
I don't know what the answer is,
and I'm sure there's a lot of parents out there
who are maybe thinking the same thing.
So, look, I hope that they're okay.
I hope that they get some rest,
because I imagine the last two years have been so hectic.
But I am hearing rumors of a wicked three and four.
But maybe I dreamed them.
Surely not.
Maybe I dreamed it.
I mean, there's someone in that studio going,
Kaching, Kaching.
The both of the movies have made an incredible amount of money.
And the Kaching Kaching always wins out, though.
It does, hey.
You know, they can't help themselves.
Clint Megan Dance.
Stinky booze
Time to get naughty at 640
All right
Naudy 640
There's a question going around
On the internet
About what it would take
How much money
Would it take for you to cheat
And a couple of people
That are getting a bit more attention
Based on their response
Were a couple that had a very large
Difference between
How much they would take
So she goes first
And this was her answer
Turnpast
Oh, 10 billion, did you say?
How did you get to that number?
I was thinking about a life-changing amount of money
that we could both benefit from.
Oh, I see what you did.
10 billion?
Mate, 10 billion is not life-chained.
Like, 1 billion, 100 million is life-changed.
Right?
10 million is life-changing.
Hey, 10 grand would be life-changing.
But here's the problem.
So now we're fighting her on her answer,
and I think what she's trying to say is, like,
it would take a lot of money for me to ever cheat.
10 billion.
Her partner, not so much.
when he turns his board round and has
250 bucks.
David, how did you land on
$250? The whole premise
to me was a little absurd, so I felt
like any kind of like high number of money
might have seemed like, okay,
maybe he would actually
do that, but I thought by low-falling
it, it was more romantic.
No, that was just...
Absolutely no sense
in that. Now, before you and I answer,
Ash, I'd like to hear what Clint's number
is because of anyone I think
well why don't we write it down like
they've done it and then we need
can we do oh no
we'll discuss after we've written okay I just
feel like if the three of us Clint's the
most likely to do this
what take cash? No offence
oh well we've all been offered cash
and you have to come up with a number
can I have your pen? I'm just going to write down mine
yeah and we've had
Jenny's got a great question what's our definition of cheating
is it like hooking up or yeah
I think cheating, let's assume that it's the full hog.
Full hog?
Yeah, okay.
Well, that's cheating, isn't it?
I mean, any form of, I guess, kissing is cheating.
But let's assume it's, you know, all the way.
Third base.
And in many ways, I feel like emotional affairs are more into my area.
And also, what you need to do is when you've written your number,
you've got to go, nah, would I take half that?
You know what I mean?
No, I wouldn't take half.
You wouldn't take half?
Okay, so we're at our lowest amount that we would take.
Yeah.
Okay, three, two, one, turn it around.
Wow, okay
We'll go in order
So the lowest of course
Is Clint Randall
Would have a 500 grand
Would cheat on his partner
So's yearly salary, right?
Daniel, Daniel 1 million
And I've gone 2 million
Now here's the thing
I was gonna go a mill
And I was like
Well, I'm still in half a mill
In a briefcase
That's still a life-changing amount
The reason I went with a million
Is because I knew
If I, my wife found out
Yeah
Yeah
And she was like
You didn't do it
She would be pissed
She would be more pissed off
I think A, you'd be pissed off if I didn't take the two million.
Because a million, two million would pay off our mortgages and then we'd have a million dollars.
And then we'd be like, no debt and we got cash.
Yeah, yeah.
So I've done the maths on it and gone, okay, that's going to really change that way.
And there's no meaning in it.
I've just screwed this woman because I would even look at them.
I'd look away.
Yeah, same.
The whole time I'd be like, yuck.
Would you just face completely away?
Yeah, oh my God, my wife is so much better.
Yeah, exactly.
I'd be like that.
Why are you doing sex positions?
I'm just imagining how you would face away from it.
he'd still be able to do you.
Okay, what is the correct answer
when you're asked how much money
it would take for you to cheat on your partner?
Is there a correct answer?
Is anyone going less than Clint?
Would anyone be angry if their partner
didn't take half a million bucks?
Yeah, true that.
Would you do it for 10 grand?
There's a question going around the internet at the moment.
What would be the amount of money
that you would accept to cheat on your partner secretly?
I think it needs to be enough money
that when they found out,
they were actually still okay with the decision that you made.
And you lead with the money.
we've decided you say
I was offered a million dollars to sleep with somebody
and I took it as opposed to
hey I've slept with somebody but
I'm paid you don't mention the cheating
I'd go Hannah I've got us two million dollars
and she'd be kicking her heels jumping up and down
then I'd go I had to sleep with someone else to do it
and she'd kind of be still happy
I reckon she'd be you think she'd be delighted
yeah what is the number before they
when they you go and I said no because I love you
and they're like you said no to a million dollars
would you crazy you'd hope that the numbers are the same
the expectation, you know what I mean?
Well, Bex is called through.
Morning Bex.
Good morning.
How are we?
So you said that your husband would do this,
but it would be for a lesser amount.
What's this number do you reckon to secretly cheat on you?
Well, it would be the other way.
Well, yeah, a Ute.
A Ute.
The coach of a Ute, like a Ford Ranger?
What are we talking?
We're going like Amrock or Triton.
Or a flat deck, a flat deck Ford Ranger.
If I came home with a flat deck Ford Ranger
and said, sorry, I had to sleep with a foot ranger.
somebody get this, he'd be like, yes.
It's my girl.
That's a $70,000 youth.
There are a lot of people who are probably cheated over the weekend
listening to this going, okay, so I've got to find 60 grand.
And I am up the hook.
Oh, wow.
Okay, well, he's an easy man to please.
I'd be happy for a 15k yute.
Like, as long as it's a youth.
Wow.
My husband's wanted a year for years.
They're a versatile vehicle.
Yes.
Yeah.
I wonder if anyone has actually ever being caught out cheating
and then has reverse the engineer this question
and then gone, what is it going to take?
How much money?
What do you need?
What do you want so that I'm off the hook?
My wife has just texted me back.
I texted her and said,
what's the lowest amount of money you would take to cheat on me?
And she said, never take any money.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
And you took a mill.
No, she says that.
No, she's, no amount is worth cheating.
No, she's, here's a thing, though,
because it's not real to her.
If the situation was real and there was an actual $1 million,
dollars on the table, she would
absolutely change him, I guarantee you.
Here's the thing, I just don't think Hannah would.
No, well, that's, you know what?
That would probably cause more
turmoil
in my marriage if I found out my wife
was offered a billion dollars, like an
amount that would change my life, all my
families, all of my friends
for one
four-minute act.
Well, let's not tell Hannah that I would accept a million
dollars, eh? Because that's not going to end well
for me.
Yeah, you're going to end up for control.
Everybody listening now, we take this to our grave.
No one, DM my wife, or end my marriage.
Dix her back, not even a million.
She goes, nothing, yeah, neither.
Neither. Definitely not.

7 and 8 each morning.
10 answers in 30 seconds wins you the cash.
She can pass, but no repeated answers.
She's a delivery driver in Christchurch.
Morning, Carrie.
Morning.
Christchurch has gone off this morning?
Really?
How many of our calls have been from Otahe?
Any excuse to say it?
I'm obsessed with that word.
It's the best city of New Zealand.
I'm obsessed with it.
I'm angry that no one,
that everyone will let me live here a year before I went there.
Blame all of you guys.
All right, your letter this morning, Carrie is.
Carrie's like, we don't want you here.
It's psycho.
Stay away from our beautiful town.
Has Carrie said a word yet?
Hello, Carrie.
Yeah.
Hi, how are we?
Good, darling.
Are you nervous?
No, you're good.
Oh, look, we're heading to work.
So, yeah, we've got five minutes.
Okay.
Okay.
She's like, hurry up here.
The letter to say is F.
ABC, D-E-F.
You ready to go?
Yeah, go for it.
Okay, can I please have a word relating to the weather?
Um, freezing.
A TV show.
Freedom.
A sport.
Uh, frisbee
Something to eat for breakfast
Uh, fruit looks
Something people are afraid of
Oh
flights
A male musician
Oh, um
Oh my gosh
You can pass
An animal with a tail
Uh
Oh my god pass
Yeah, sorry
No, don't say sorry
Great answers
I mean you did answer freedom for a TV show
I had to Google it.
There was a TV show
back in the year 2000.
A sci-fi show called
it only lasted one season.
Some would argue...
I was going to say, I shot for that.
Some would argue Ultimate Frisbee,
not a sport, but the people that player probably would argue
it is.
And then a man we've used to have been
Fat Boy Slim, Flowrider, Frank Sinatra.
Wow done, Carrie.
Yeah, thanks, Carrie. We'll play again at 8 o'clock.
Thanks to Novice Glass.
Windscreen, chip or crack. You can contact
your local Novus Glash Glass
branch direct.
I know what's flash.
No of Shrash Rush Rush.
I know what's classic.
It's like if Sean Connery were doing the liner.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Could we be getting a Cool Runnings too?
Ready.
Ready.
Feel the rhythm.
Feel the rhyme.
Get on up.
It's five flat time.
Cool running.
You're going to the best moments in cinema history.
So great.
Such a great film.
40 years since Cool Runnings the Jamaican Bob's team
went to the Olympic team.
Oh, I think about 40 years since the film, and I was like, I cannot be that old.
Almost 40 years since I went over.
32 years since the movie came out.
That's how old it is.
But it turns out the Jamaican bobsled team is still an actual thing,
and they won their first gold at the international champs.
When I came across our defense line and saw that we were in first place,
I couldn't even believe it.
I was just standing there, speedless.
It's a big moment for us.
The whole island of Jamaica is proud.
We're a tropical island.
Nobody expects Jamaica to be in the Jamaica bobsled,
go in places.
You'll see even greater things from us.
Wow.
There's no better accent on earth.
Is any...
I know, there was no.
There was no reference to cool running at all on that interview.
Do you want to kiss my egg?
I wonder if they still do the chart.
Do they still do the chart before them?
Feel the rhythm.
Yeah.
Feel the ride.
Oh my God.
The coax started he is.
He is like his...
Take him some dry.
They only made the movie because of the incredible feat that the first Jamaican bobsie team did.
Now the Jamaican bobsie team is actually won gold if they were ever going to be talked about a second film.
So there is, I thought you were here to tell us that they're in talks of a second film.
All you're saying is the Jamaican bobbler team won the tropical island just won their first gold man.
Clint, you can't do the accent.
Of all the people on the show, you get the least to do the accent, I feel.
Remember we had Junior Bevel from Cool Runnings on and he said I could,
do the accent. He's not Jamaica. Yeah, I didn't know that though at the time when he said I
could, but I didn't realize he wasn't Jamaica. It's marginal that he can even do it. I think
we would, we deserve another cool runnings. I think it's time. It's been long
enough time. I think the people would love it. But they're not no longer the
underdog. Now they're winning golds. You know, it's not as true. They'll always be
the underdog because of the tropical island.
I think you're in Ash. I have a
cool running's poster framed, signed by all four of the actors.
It was my 40th present from Meg actually
because she still keeps in touch with Junior
Which is crazy in itself
His real name is Rawley
She still keeps in touch
Like she was on the bobsled team herself
She was back
Come on guys
And that was just when I saw this story
I was like oh my God
If there was ever an opportunity
For my favourite movie to get a sequel
Surely it's now
So watch this face
Don't know who needs to talk to who
I'm just John Candy's not talking to anybody
Is he? He wouldn't be in the sequel RIP
Yeah
He could be a producer of the movie.
I reckon you're one of the few fans now of the movie that keeps talking about it.
What have you done to the police unit?
I should arrest you.
Why don't you write a script?
Yeah, OK.
No, because then Clinton put himself as one of the Jamaican bops leaders.
You are the kind of club totten, raw meat, eaten, big Tarzan, Eugene and Big Bowl bubblehead
that are can only count to ten of his belt or wearing sandals.
Wow.
How many times do you reckon you've seen it?
Too many times by the sounds of it.
Over 100.
And that's not a hyperbole.
Actually, you've actually seen it over a hundred times.
As a kid, it was just every time I wanted to watch a movie.
I was watch Cool Runners.
That's so sweet.
I mean, it is a great film.
R-I-P, John Candy, one of the great performances.
Hey, Dan and his wife got caught accidentally.
He says shoplifting by security.
I don't know.
We've gone to jail.
It was a heist of sorts from IKEA.
You could have lived Georgia without parents.
Does anybody want some free flat pack stuff?
I'm selling it on.
I'll have it if you've put it together already
but not if it's still in its life. Absolutely not.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Big day this Thursday for New Zealand.
The first ever IKEA opens.
It's about bloody time.
They're expecting 20,000 people
to go there in the first day. There's signs all over the
no way in New England saying
there's going to be traffic delays
and stuff because so many people are going.
Why would you go day one if there's going to be
that many people? Exactly. But I mean
it's an incredible shock. I'm so excited.
Now, my wife's going to be germs.
Now, my wife and I were invited to a pre-opening party over the weekend.
It was like an IKEA pop-up thing in the city.
There was a few of these parties all around New Zealand.
And Hannah and I was like, come on, we're going to go to this
because they'll definitely be free shit there.
You know, that's the only reason we went.
And so we went, we lined up for like 20 minutes in the pouring rain.
We went along.
And so we went in.
And it was a beautiful setup.
So it was like you walked in, there was free drinks, free food.
Then there was like this massive pot.
of IKEA flat pack
like to the roof
and people were all taking photos of it and stuff
and we were like lifting up bags
Do you mean like the flat packs in boxes?
Yeah they're in boxes
so you didn't know what was in them
which was kind of cool
maybe you did but there was no like proper signage on
then it would say
Oven Zagans
Yes it was all the speedish
And so Hannah and I stayed for like
15 minutes we had a free drink
and I was kind of like
Should we just take some stuff and gap it
Like because you know like obviously
We've done our bit
And they said in the email when they sent it to me
We'd love you to come
there's going to be, and the quote was
IKEA goodies.
Okay, great.
So they're like, happy days.
So Hannah and I both got, like,
picked up a couple of flat packs,
put them under our arms
and walked out, happy days.
We're walking up,
we'd left the event,
walking up, and we hear a,
from behind us.
The security guards, like,
at pace, walking up behind us.
Oh, no, this is so embarrassing.
We weren't supposed to take any of the flat pack stuff.
It was just a display.
And so he had to, like,
We had to be marched back in.
Could he take them back in for you?
No, he was like, you don't have to take the back.
So we had to go past.
There were still people queuing outside.
We were one of the first in.
So we had to like walk back past the line of these people
with these flat packs that we'd stolen, not knowing, obviously,
and put them back on the pile.
That is so embarrassing.
Absolute nightmare.
Hannah was like, I've never seen her redder in the face.
I want to, that is, oh, no.
Imagine Dan in prison?
I was like, what are you any for?
He's like, oh, I tried to take a flat-pack furniture.
From an influencer event because I thought it was free.
The great flat-back heist.
You would be holding the inside of someone's pocket
inside the first five minutes, made if that still happens.
So you'd organise for someone to take care of your child,
gone into the city, had a dress.
And the sad thing was like, we didn't even know it was in the flat-packs.
We were just like, let's just take as much as we had and leave.
Free is free. Oh, God, and we were there for probably,
this is the embarrassing thing because the lady that invited us
saw us come back in and put the like stuff back on the pie
we'd been there for five minutes
like we'd literally been in there for five minutes
it's kind of like the time that we went to that wicked event
and then as we were driving to the cinema
you said in front of the person from Universal Pictures
Jonathan Bailey's definitely surprising us
you think speak too much from a PR event
I think Dan
I don't know
I just kind of do you think you are
I don't know
Clint Meg and Dan
Gossip and Entertainment
Scandal
Clint Megan Dan with Ash London
scandal.
All thanks to Woolworth.
Woolworths have entered the final countdown to find the final countdown.
It's the final countdown.
Supposedly I heard rumors there's two left.
Where are they?
I don't know.
If you live in a town and the Countdowns near, you tell us.
I heard that all changed.
I thought that all gone to Woolworth now.
Obviously not.
Yeah.
There's still the final countdown.
It's white.
All right.
Okay, two days until Dan's newest favorite show drops on Netflix.
I know you've got your countdown in your phone.
on December 3rd for Netflix
With Love, Megan, a holiday celebration.
You're kidding me.
December 3rd it comes out, that's my birthday.
She knows what she's doing.
I love the holiday season.
It's about finding time to connect with the people we love.
Yeah.
Embracing traditions.
I like this.
And making new ones.
It's pretty jolly here.
It's pretty jolly here.
It's so jolly.
Isn't it ironic that she's going embrace the people you love yet she's alienated literally her whole family and her husbands?
What a nightmare that woman is.
Now, I only have one.
Sometimes I feel like Megan doesn't do herself any favours.
Because in the ad, like the photo, what do they call that?
Like the poster, the movie poster, I guess.
She's wearing, this is all in great pretty pounds.
A three and a half thousand pound dress
Princess Diana 22,000 pound Cartier watch
A 7,000 pound Cartier bracelet
A 4,000 pound Jennifer Maya bracelet
And a 5,000 pound
Ariel Gordon Diamond bracelet
But she's so relatable
She's so relatable
She's charging $50 for a jam
But Cinderella didn't rock up wearing what she was wearing to the ball
Right? She put on the glass slippers
And she jumped out of the carriage
Only because they fitted her
On one half of me thinks
you know what, babes,
where whatever you want, who cares.
And the other half of me goes,
Babes, do yourself a favour.
Don't flaunt wealth like this.
Well, she ain't shopping at Zara though.
Hey, look, I'm more than happy for her to exist,
but just...
Oh, that's so nice of you.
So kind of you.
And her husband, Harry, is the same,
on the same. They were constantly complaining
about being in the media
and being, like, thrust into the spotlight.
The paparazzi following them around.
Why keep yourself in the spotlight then?
So what should they do, just be recluses?
They've got enough money to do that.
Have they?
People keep going, oh, they need money.
Do you reckon they have money?
She wouldn't be wearing all that stuff if they didn't.
Oh yeah, because there should be getting given all that stuff, sure.
It's just a...
I don't know.
She's influential.
But I do love that she's dropping her new show on Dan's birthday.
I find it, Icky, that she is just so, like, about the people and so relatable,
yet she's selling a jam for $57 to Ireland.
Who's spending $57 on a raspberry jam?
Hey, you dried that jam and thought it was delicious.
If someone told me this jam had antioxidant and said it,
I'd be like, I'll take 10 things.
When Meg came back, she'd done this long play, I'm sure you actually...
Oh, I remember. I watched the video. I cried laughing.
Yeah, so she made Dan eat it.
Dan thought it was delicious.
And then she said, ha-ha! It's a mega muckle jam!
And my defence, I was being nice because I thought Megan made them
and they were her recipe.
They were very dry.
It was the driest shortbread I've ever had.
That's not used to it.
You're trying to be nice to me.
Yeah.
Clint, Megan Dan.
I want to talk about, this is part of my podcast this week,
Hopeless Romantics every week,
actually twice a week in a lead-up to Christmas.
We're doing our favourite Christmas films.
Hell of a listen to that podcast.
Thank you so much.
Both of you boys did a great job when you were on it.
Gosh, she makes you cry if you go on it.
Yeah, well, this week, Nixon Clark's going to set,
Nixon Clark.
What was his actual name?
Stephen.
Stephen Nixon Clark.
Well, you'll claim Nixon.
He's been bouncing around between my and the edge for the last few years.
He's going to be on this year.
this week. I digress. My episode yesterday was what love actually has actually taught us about love.
And one of the lessons I take from it is that if you love your best friend's partner or love someone
who is out of bounds, you need to just shut up and keep it to yourself. Because in the famous
love actually scene, we know that the guy comes to Kira Knightley's house and then pretends it
It's carols and holds up the placards and pretty much says I'm in love with you.
Which is a weird thing to do to your best friend's wife.
I don't think it's romantic.
I think it's selfish.
Here's the thing.
I sort of tend to agree with you in a certain way.
But if you love that person more than the friend, your best friend.
What do you mean you love them more than your friend does?
So say I'm in love with you.
Okay, Ash.
And Adrian, your husband is my best friend.
If I'm more in love with you than I am with my best friend.
If you care more about our relationship than your best friend's relationship.
I think it's worth risking it.
But you're also doing a really horrible thing to your friend.
But you might be unhappy.
Like, how do I know that you're not 100% happy in a relationship?
You might go, oh my God, nobody your day was in love with me.
I don't think it's your business.
You know what I mean?
That's interesting because was your husband when you met him?
Did he have a girlfriend or no?
Yes, but she was.
wasn't my best friend.
Oh, okay.
If she was my best friend, I would never have said anything.
Oh, yeah, okay, it's different.
You've always got to shoot your shock.
No, I think you've got to swallow your pride and just say, I missed out.
No, it is different.
It's different if it's just someone who's dating somebody that you fall in love with
versus, oh, you fall in love with your best mate.
Partner or wife, but I'm sorry, man.
I'm sure it's happened to people.
Too bad.
I think you can fall in love with multiple people throughout your life.
So just forget about her or him.
And wait, do you fall in love with the next?
What is?
Hugh Knightley was on TV, and she kind of agrees with us.
It was, I'm weird, creepy.
Playing that scene, my face was sort of like that.
And Richard, the director was like, look, you're making it look creepy.
I'm like, it kind of is creepy.
I mean, it's sweet, but it is kind of creepy.
What was it?
Like, he was kind of stalkery?
Is that what it was.
Also, my husband is sitting just behind me.
Yes.
That's right.
He was in the house.
Yeah, so I'm co-host on Hopeless Romantics, DeMara.
It's my best friend.
She said what she would do, she would say nothing.
But every birthday and every Christmas,
she would give that person the best present.
Thoughtful, I know you, I see you,
just the kind of gift that made them go,
hmm, hmm, but I think it is selfish to tell them
and I think we live in a society
where everyone thinks they are entitled to share their feelings
and really, maybe we're not.
Oh man, it would be, if I was fully in love with that person
and I know what it's like to be in love, I couldn't ignore it.
Has anyone done it?
Has anyone actually fall in love with their, like,
or their best friend's partner.
Or maybe you were the best friend.
Maybe your husband or your wife's best friend
came to you and said,
I'm in love with you.
I mean, worst case scenario, they go,
no, I'm more in love with my current husband.
Happy days, you're not friends anymore.
And what if she goes running back to your best friend
and goes, Dan just said that he was in love with me?
That's the risk you've got to take.
You lose out on everything.
Fine, you've got you go and knowing that risk.
Oh my gosh.
But what if they leave that person because they love you more?
Then they're in the wrong marriage anyway.
It's a dog act, though.
I'd be like, bro, you're my best mate.
And I'll go, sorry, Clinton, we're not mates anymore.
I get that, but your wife with me now.
I've got to go have sex with your ex.
So does, okay, so does that mean I can text your wife, Hannah,
and tell her what I truly think of her or not?
Trust me, she's not leaving me.
Well, I have a text.
We are air tight.
I haven't, yeah.
Actually, you know.
I wait under the edge.
If you've been in the situation, we disguise your voice if it's still a bit of a sore point or happened recently.
And it can be either side.
You can be the person saying, I love you, or you can be the person.
and who someone's, or it can be your best mate did it to you.
Yeah, what happened?
What's the right play?
Are we right or are we wrong?
And you're a team Dan on this one.
Text, what is the bounce back from my podcast?
Asked to 3343?
Yeah, we're going to go with that.
If you want to get around my podcast, Hopeless Romantics,
we're doing Love Actually this week on the potty.
The big question we're talking about now is all about Kieran Knightley's character,
of course, the famous scene where her husband's best friend comes to the door.
And love actually.
In love actually and via the placards says I'm in love with you
And I think absolute dog act
Whereas Daniel thinks you've got to shoot your shot
You've got to shoot your shot
Otherwise you'll die in love with a person that you...
No, you won't, you'll end up forgetting about them
And then you'll fall in love with somebody else
There's definitely ways and means to do it
And you have to go into it knowing that the friendship
And the love interest that you're going for
Could be out of your life forever
Well, people have done it
Or at least been the object of someone's affection
that maybe they shouldn't have been.
Jackie joins us.
Morning Jackie.
Morning, guys.
Morena, what happened, Jackie?
My first of my two best friends.
I grew up with two sisters.
We went through school together.
They were so close.
And not long after I moved away, I got a message from the younger one saying, help.
My big sister's husband has just messaged saying he's in love with me.
What do I do?
Oh, God.
Help me, Jesus.
My goodness.
Yeah, and they were the closest sisters ever.
What did you do?
I didn't know what advice to give.
I said that she needed to tell her sister
because he was obviously a dirtbag
and she needed to tell her sister, but she didn't.
And they're still married 10 years later.
That's the tricky thing, too.
If you shoot your shock.
Is he still in touch with her?
You could lose your marriage?
I don't know.
I don't know.
They're still married and the younger sister went on and got married as well,
but no one knows.
Well, family Christmas, if the sisters and families are all getting together,
then, yeah.
So he's not estranged or anything?
This happened to one of my friends
The night before her best friend's wedding
The guy that her best friend was about to marry
Came to her and said, I'm in love with you
And she was like, I can't believe you do this
And they're all, like she never told anyone
Which is fair, well, yeah
I think it's fair enough to be cast aside
And told, I'm never speaking to again
I get that, but that's the risk
You're willing to take the consequences
If you're fully in love with that person
Then yeah, I'll take the risk
What do you reckon, Vicky?
Hello, I'm morning.
I don't know.
It feels weird.
I know on four different occasions,
friends of mine who have gotten a divorce
and then less than a month later
going out with their best friend's partner.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, wow.
So you're like, they split and then you're like,
oh, interesting.
Hold on.
You're going out with your ex's best mate now.
Makey panky happening before the divorce.
And that's the thing you never know.
fully a marriage is like
you know like for all you know
they might not be happy in their marriage
we just got another text I think this is a great point
they said I think on some level you know
that it's about fantasy with your friend's dude or girl
the reality of being with them
would likely never live up to what you imagine
we always in our minds
think that the other option is going to be better
that the other marriage is going to be better
well the grass ain't always greener
and the person who texts us then I see your name
but I won't read it out just because maybe
you want to remain anonymous
but I'm going to send you a fragrance all thanks to Bargengen chemist.
Free delivery when you buy any fragrance online at Bargand Chemist, actually,
until the end of this month, 31st of December.
Love that.
She says, my best friend of about 15 years told me he was in love with me
a week before he was getting married to somebody else.
I was also married at the time.
Got real awkward, real quick after that.
Safe to say we are no longer friends and we do not speak to each other anymore.
Yeah, there's a time and a place.
Maybe a couple of weeks out for the marriage isn't the right time.
time or place.
But, you know, as a rule of thumb.
Bax has got some first-hand experience here, boys.
Morning, Bex.
Hi.
So were you the Kera Knightley character in this situation,
or were you the one doing, professing the love?
No, I got it done on me.
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah, so living in Australia with my husband,
and we've got children.
My goodness.
And, yeah, kind of.
fell in love with my best friend and I found out about it and it was hard because I worked
with her as well. So I just packed me and my children up and I moved back to New Zealand.
Wait, so your best friend went to him or did he go to her?
I'm not too sure how it started but I feel like she maybe may have made the first move
because she knew that I wanted to go back to New Zealand and he didn't.
so I think she made the move and tried to get him to stay.
Are they still together now?
No, so it lasted a little bit.
He stayed there while I was in New Zealand for a couple of months.
And apparently she was pregnant.
To him?
To him.
Oh, my God.
Is he a better dad, at least to your kids, than he has a ex-husband?
Well, no, he's...
I'm actually, like, so story ends.
and I'm actually back with him.
What?
That's why you never talk.
You never talk bad about the ex.
I never liked him.
He's a dog.
Oh, we're back together.
And people can change.
He's lovely.
I'm going to say it early on.
It's Monday quarter of the week.
There we go.
Wow.
Bex, your love is crazy, man.
I hope you.
I love me.
Happy and fruitful marriage.
So the moral of the story here is shoot your shot.
Because I'll get back together.
Oh, yeah.
He tried and, yeah.
Good on you.
Yeah, I think the whole that the baby was a fake thing to keep him to stay.
Oh, man.
You're an incredible person to put that behind, Jay, and figure it.

The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
All right, around this time a year,
we're all thinking, what do we want?
We're sending in our lists of things
that we'd like Santa to get us.
But I think it's also a really cool time
for us to think about maybe
what we could do for others
and someone who's been doing that for a very long time
is Sarah, who started the Kindness Collective
12 years ago.
Kiyora.
Kiyora.
Welcome.
She is a living legend.
Oh, I wouldn't go to that.
Yeah.
And she's humble.
We can't go that far.
So in a physical sense, what is the kindness collective doing over Christmas?
What is your aim and what does this look like?
So, well, 12 years ago we started with Christmas just for a small number of kids.
And the refuge that we work with was 43 kids.
And last year it was 20,109.
So it's kind of jumped a little bit.
Like in the last 12 years.
But every year we do two things.
We open the Christmas Joy Store, which is a physical toy.
shop. It's a social toy store and referred parents and caregivers that we work with are then
invited to come and shop and choose gifts for their children that they know they'll love off the
shelf for free. It's all about the dignity of choice for us. I love that. I just want to stop
down for you to say that the dignity of choice because I think, sorry, cry like, and dignity is
something that people are so robbed of when they don't have the funds and I think that is the most
heartbreaking part. The joy store gives parents the opportunity to come in and choose gifts and
And then we've also got a social supermarket this year called Tea Makati Harikawa, and it's beautiful.
There's so much food, and it's amazing.
So people will get all the food for Christmas Day and the week after.
And then we also do nationwide toy deliveries in 91 different cities and towns across 16 regions.
My first experience, Sarah, was probably a few years ago when I got hit up by some PR company,
being like, hey, could you come down to this joy store and shoot some social media content?
We were so excited about you coming.
It was like, oh my goodness,
when you honestly,
the team was so pumped
and all these families were like,
taking photos.
It was like normally you're using
your social media following
to promote some sort of a business
and a lot of the time
you're getting paid to do that.
And it was like a nice opportunity.
I was like, oh, to promote
what someone is doing outside of themselves
for the community.
So I was like, yeah, sure.
I was not prepared for actually
the scale in which you were operating on.
and the Christmas Joy Store
was in full swing at the time
so families are coming in
or moms and dads
not obviously with their kids
because they're choosing presents and stuff
and I went out to the back
and I just saw this massive factory
filled to the ceiling
with stuff and they've got
forklifts coming in
with more stuff
just loading it up
safely
booklips coming safely
yeah you
highly
all the fashion
I did have to put the Haver's vest on
and just there are people
like packing their toys
into bags and then they're walking out
and there's this huge queue
out the front
and I was like
oh my
God, the thing that really has never left me, I was saying to you, there's got to be so much
need. And I remember you saying, yeah, Clint, have a look. This is the people that are on a
wait list right now because you can't help everybody.
Unfortunately, I wish I could.
And yeah, and I said to you, okay, so hold on. So what if, so if my wife and I donate to the
kindness collective right now, what happens? And you were like, well, based on how much you donate,
that'll determine how many families can come off this wait list
and depending on if there are a two kid family
or a six kid family, that value was different.
And so I donated to the charity
and you and I sat there and we just read people's stories
and we were like, yep, take them off the wait list.
And so you literally click the button
and you said, they're going to get an email later today
saying that they're off the wait list
and that next week they can come and pick up food and presents
for their children.
It was addictive.
imagine the relief those parents would feel getting that message
just the weight off their shoulders of like
oh my gosh my kids are going to be okay I'm not going to let my kids down
well Sarah we've got an idea we'd like to pitch to you
that we hope will impact a lot of children's Christmases this year
and be different to last year so if you're listening now in your car
wherever you are have a thing we need you to get involved with us
we're all doing it together and also Sarah from the kindness collective
is with us
and she has a thing called
the Christmas Joy Store
that is open right now
where families can go through
and for free
grab presents and food
and have a Christmas
they weren't expecting to have
because people are donating
and allowing kids and families
to come off the wait list.
One thing I was talking to boys about
is like I want to raise my son buddy
in a sense that he knows
Christmas isn't about
what he can just get
but also what he can give
and I think this is such a great way
to involve kids as well
it's something that we can all get involved
involved with to know that we have a responsibility as humans to take care of each other.
And we've got this platform that we need to help you in any way we can.
How much does it cost to take one child or one family off the waiting list?
How much money do you need?
We ask for $20 for a child to provide them with an experience for the Joy Store, which gives them three presents.
Crazy.
That's what I was saying before off here, Sarah can make a dollar go a lot further than you can.
Yeah, and look, that's through the generosity of our partners and, you know, amazing.
brands and businesses like, can I say
the house in minus 10?
I mean, their generosity is amazing.
And Lego and Mattel who donate items to us
so we're actually able to, you know,
by the end of the joy store, there's 55,000
to 60,000 toys that have left the premises.
Like, it's a lot.
And, you know, we're able to get things
that cost and wholesale pricing
and so we can make it go further.
You imagine the anxiety of having like five kids
at Christmas time.
And then somebody drop in a $100 donation
and takes them off the wait list
so that they can now get presents and food.
Yeah.
Crazy.
So what we want to do is so often with radio shows,
we do these special days where it's like everyone gets her.
So if you get on it,
every caller wins, you get edsharing tickets.
Oh, we'll give you a voucher to this.
We've done every caller wins flights, every caller wins cash.
So we thought this year for Christmas,
instead of every caller gets her,
we want to do every caller gives her.
So we want to give the Edge Breakfast Fano.
And the edge, final, the chance to give this Christmas in a very, very easy way.
We don't all have a lot of money.
I know, like, money is so tight, but I think everyone can find a couple of bucks,
5, 10, 50, 20, or if you've got more, if you're a business,
we would love to hear from you.
I just think we could change so many lives at Christmas time.
Thank you so much.
No, Sarah, it's the least we can do with what you're doing, grinding away all year.
And we talk to the boss, and it's not just like a two-break thing,
and then we move on and do scandal or whatever else.
It's like we just, on Thursday, we want to start the show from 6 a.m. through to 10 and just dedicate it to raising as much money as we can for the entire show.
The whole morning. We're not even going to play music.
We might pay nothing. I pitched that in there so. That's fine.
So it'll just be every call of gives. You get on the air. It's because you want to give and you want to donate.
We'll set up a bounce back so people that are busy can just text. They'll get the link.
Maybe there are mums or dads that have been through your Christmas joy store in past years.
then might come on and talk about the real tangible difference
that it made to them when they were taken off the list.
Oh, guys, thank you so much.
That's amazing.
And we say we want to raise money,
but I think the main goal here is to cross as many families
of that list as we can, right?
So every day we see 240 families every day for 20 days in a row.
It's like a mini event, I swear, like every day.
And so we currently have 6,500 children
represented by 2,100 shoppers,
and we've got five and a half thousand kids on the wait list at the moment.
What a joy it must be as a mum or a dad to walk in there
and be able to do that and choose gifts for your kids.
Yeah, it's amazing.
So you've got a couple of days to get organized.
We're going to do this on Thursday.
Speak to your partners.
Speak to your families and your friends.
Have a think about what you can afford,
even if it's just a couple of dollars.
We are so appreciative.
And if you're going through a tough time and you're feeling sad,
maybe practice a bit of generosity
because it really does feel bloody good.
that I'm so excited.
You know who has to prepare.
Carl, our producer, he answers all the phones.
It's going to be a stressful day.
I think it might have to get an extra person on phone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thank you in advance.
It'd be great if there was no one on the wait list this Christmas.
It would be.
It would be great if we had 1,000 Christmas joy stores all around the country
and everybody who needed it could just walk in.
Yeah, well, people are already texting now.
You can text the word, donate to 3343 if you want to get in early.
Oh, give, sorry.
Give to 3343.
We've already had people donate already.
Literally $20.
Olivia said we'll take five kids off the list on Thursday.
I'm already cried.
And whatever you can afford, like genuinely whatever you can afford to do.
Five bucks.
If four different people put five bucks in, that's a kid who has a Christmas.
Yeah.
And Thursday at 10, it's really, it'll be cool to look back and see how many families
because of what everyone is done are going to get a Christmas that they didn't get last year.
Yeah.
And if you do give, let us know how much you've given so we can put it towards the total.
Produce the car?
This is nuts.
We're still getting things set up in the back end, but like people,
are calling through.
It's going crazy.
So this is amazing.
Best list.
Best list.
Oh my God.
Look at you guys.
It's so incredible that $20 can get a kid three presents at Christmas time.
Like it's unreal.
If you want to do something, you go, I don't know what to do.
Where to put my money?
It's a great way to spend it.
There's literally families on that list right now, not knowing if they're going to have a Christmas.
And you can change that for them.
Yeah.
So on Thursday, we're going to do it all together on Thursday.
So you can wait until Thursday if you want then.
So we can count it all together.
Have a talk to your families, figure out what you can afford.
forward and then on Thursday we're going to go hard and then we'll see how many kids we can get
off the list. And we're going to hear from other mums and dance who are being through the joy
store and the difference that it made for their Christmas and their family just so you can
really get a tangible idea of what your money is actually doing for people in the country.
This is the magic of this time of year. Yes. Absolutely. This is what it's all about,
give to 3-4-3. If you're not going to be around on Thursday show and you want to get early,
otherwise. And if you do give, text us what you gave so we can put it towards our total. Thanks.
guys, we love you.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Lesh, Gol!
Who, based on my interaction with her on Sunday briefly,
I think must have been a big Saturday night.
Yes, I did.
And you know what?
I blame you, Nick, if you're listening.
It is the season, you're allowed.
You're allowed.
So our besties invited us over on Saturday, late Arvo,
for like an early dinner.
They've got kids, we've got kids, kids at the same age,
the kids play together, it's all on.
And you know those mates,
Clint Randall, you have where you go to their house,
and, like, they don't ask you if you want a drink.
They just keep, like, refilling.
My favourite thing is waiting until I, like, I hear you're almost,
like, you're coming through the gay,
and then I'll have an espresso martini, like, ready.
Oh, gosh.
Nick wouldn't even let me put sugar in the margaritas
because he's like, that's weak,
because usually I put a bit of sugar syrup in.
He's like, that's water.
Absolutely not.
Anyway, we had a wonderful night.
Yes, we had to leave the car there and get an Uber home.
First time my son's ever been in a booster seat.
Your intentions were good.
You drove there, and then you're like, oh,
we drove there, and then I was like, well, how are we getting at home?
And I go, oh, we've got a boost that just whacked that in an Uber.
Come back tomorrow and get a car.
Isn't that a sad moment, though, when you've got to like Uber with your kid home
because you can't drive a room?
It's never, it's the first time it's ever happened to me.
Because I'm not a drinker, and I was so ashamed.
She's like, come on, buddy, you're going to go, a kid with Uber.
Nothing like that.
So then the next morning, and about what time was.
Then Ash's his husband, I actually heard this story.
He was like, Ash, get out of the booster.
That's the buddy.
I tried to get in the booster.
Are you done?
So what time was it the next day that I hopped in an Uber?
Because you would know.
I called it Uber to go and get my car at like...
It would have been about midday.
Midday?
Yeah.
And I'm in the back of the car, windows it down to get the fresh air in my phone.
Just in case she throws up.
Doesn't what that's ailing thing.
And first of all, I see this woman coming on the, on the, she was on the footpath.
She's on an E, one of those lime scooters with her daughter in front of her.
And I'm not joking.
The first thing I think was, man, she's a hot mom.
I was like, she looks young, daddy.
She's a hot, ma'am.
And then I was like, wait a second, that's J.B. Randall.
And then, sure enough, because like his parents, they always travel in a pack.
Clint is behind her.
And he's got tie on his scooter.
And I'm like, oh, I, oh, I, oh, and he turns out.
And then I said, I hope you guys have a wonderful family day.
Good to see you, Ryan.
I think there's lies now.
I know what she said, because my son went afterwards.
Is she Australian?
Because she goes, oh!
I don't know
He was like,
Who's that lady?
She's like,
Oie, Oye, she's Australian.
Yes, I am, Ty.
She's like,
Oye, aye, and then as we go past
she goes, put a helmet on.
It was more slurred than that was
and I was like,
I wasn't, I wasn't even drunk
the night before, so there was no
slurring, but I was just a bit dusty.
And I said,
Ash, when she'd text me,
put a helmet on, I said, well
a limescuit only comes with one helmet.
So I don't know what you do with your son,
but if it comes down to us,
both falling off and one of us saving our brain,
I decided to put it on the eight-year-old.
So he wore the helmet and I took the risk.
So how did you get to the cinema?
We lim-scooted there as well.
Okay, so have you got helmets at home?
No.
They do, I've seen it.
No helmets at home, that's a problem.
Okay.
No, we do.
As long as the kids have helmets on, who cares?
If you want to get a traumatic brain injury, that's fine.
Yeah.
If dad comes off, it was probably dad's fault because dad was driving.
Got on you, do you know what happened?
Because I'm so messed up in the head,
five minutes and say, I'm like,
Why you like this Lando?
Why can't you let people leave?
I felt so guilty for yelling, put a helmet on,
that I had to text him and be like,
I'm sorry, I'm just so unfun.
I think it just shows the person you are.
You couldn't walk straight,
yet you knew a helmet is a good thing to do.
Again, I wasn't drunk.
I was just a bit dusty and very judgmental.
Good on you.
But you know what?
Ash, actually, now that I think about,
Ash was wearing a helmet in the back of the ober.
I was!
She puts that on when she goes out drinking just in case.
She hits the pavement.
Safety first.
Clint Megan Dan
Spinky Boo
Prince William
I like Prince William
I like him and him and Katie
I think they're a very classy
couple
I think they do a lot of good
around the world
Yeah but can I just tell you one thing
What if they
Obviously they're going to do good
They get free money
That they get just for being born
What are the
What else are they going to do?
I see where you're coming from
You know what I mean?
I see where you're coming from
Like oh they visited kids in a hospital
Yeah, you literally were born into billions of dollars for doing nothing.
You don't have a job because you get adult pocket money.
Yes, exactly right.
Anyway, I agree.
They seem like lovely people.
We'll continue.
This is interesting because Prince William made the news over the weekend
because he went to a lovely, it was like a, I think, a pub over in the UK.
Had a lovely meal, enjoyed it, had great times.
More power to him.
And he tipped 25 pounds at the end.
Off what bill?
Of a beer?
I think he just had a beer, yeah.
Good on him.
25 pounds.
And he's getting hate for it.
People are going, oh, he's the prince.
He's the heir to the throne.
He should be...
Yeah, but it's our money.
He can't be gone too far
because some people would be like,
he's splashing around our money.
True.
I mean, I suppose it depends what you compare her to.
When Pink was here in New Zealand,
she dropped a massive tip at a bar
or a restaurant that she ate at for dinner,
what was it?
Yeah, I don't know the actual name of the bar,
but she tipped $10,000.
It was a big news in New Zealand.
Yeah.
And we called the bar after it,
and apparently the boss just
took all the money.
Yeah.
Just one of the girls who worked the bar,
she said, we didn't see a send for that.
I hope that got out and then he was forced to give them all some money.
What a dick.
Yeah, because I don't think Pink was like,
give this to the owner.
Yeah, I want to support owners of club franchises.
The thing is, though, I don't think you can win as a celebrity.
Yeah, it's true.
Because I've just found a Reddit story with the best celebrity tippers.
And apparently some of the, David Beckham's up there is one of the best celebrity
tippers.
He tipped $5,000.
One of the worst, apparently Jailor.
Very entitled.
Never tips.
Never tips, according to this.
But she was Jenny from the block.
You know, she would have done some hospo, surely.
Maybe she knows when she was from the block, she never had anything.
She needs to keep it, you know?
Like she doesn't frivolity.
She's going to end up on the block again.
She doesn't fritter it away on tips.
Yeah.
I want to know, though, if there is anybody that's received like a huge tip.
Oh, I love this.
Once I was working in hospo and this man ordered fish,
and I served it and it was raw, undercooked.
So I took it back to the chef
and the chef screamed at me
and the guy heard me get screamed at
and then gave me $100 and he slipped it into the front pocket
of my apron because he knew that I'd have to split it with people.
So he just put it in and then he's like,
thanks, man, I was so embarrassed.
Yeah, I was for it, I'd constantly be tipping.
Oh, I'd love it.
It'd make people's days.
I remember when I went to the petrol station,
a guy just gave me a $50 night and he did the same thing,
slipped it into my pocket and my B-P shirt.
Cute.
Yeah, we loved it.
But, I mean, it's, I think tipping's just an easy thing to do.
I agree.
Bruce Willis, I think he was renowned for tipping 100 bucks every time you go to a bar.
Yeah.
Like just to get a beer, 100 bucks.
It's expensive if you're doing that.
If you're going back and forth, back and forth, you'd want to just get three jugs for the table.
Absolutely.
Took the one time.
So you want to hear from you guys, 3343 on the text line, or 0800 the edge.
Get involved.
Have you ever had a huge-ass tip or been privy to a huge-ass tip?
And it's more meaningful in New Zealand as well because you don't have.
have to.
Yeah, it's not a mandatory thing.
In America, sometimes they're like, you didn't tip enough.
I'm like, Jesus, I gave you 50 bucks.
We were talking tippers after Prince William tips 25 euros, oh, 25 pounds, sorry.
He's getting a bit of heat for it, saying, oh, it's not enough.
I don't say he's a cheaper, but he was just buying a drink at a bar, so the tip was probably
more than the beverage.
And look what happened when Prince Andrew went around splash and cash, people were like, oh, boo.
Was that all tips?
I mean, a lot of 99.99% of the other stuff was truly foul.
I'm saying, you know, they've got to fight.
Royals have to find the line between, you know, propriety and generosity.
Yeah.
Amanda joins us on 0-800-the-edge.
Now, Amanda, you've been given a tip before?
No, I gave the tip.
Oh, you gave the tip.
All right, tell us.
Tell us what happens.
I see you ring up to brag.
No, no, no, to brag.
That's what I thought it was about.
Whoops.
No, in a restaurant, I know they divide the tips between the staff.
Yeah.
There was only one that stood out to me.
And it was a prison from my boss to go out for mail.
So I had some left on this gift card.
Oh.
The staff member who was outstanding, he said, oh, you can come back and use it.
I said, no, I don't want to come back and use it.
And I said, there's your manager around.
So he went and got as manager.
You can see he was freaking out.
How much did you go?
There was about $20 or $20 left off.
That's a good idea.
Give them a gift card, so it's like you can't be splitting a gift card and you just gave a gift card.
Now Cheryl, you gave more than 20 or you got given.
No, got more.
Oh, now we're talking.
Where were you working, Shaz?
Oh, Cheryl, sorry.
I love that, She's, everyone calls me that.
So I was working in a managing a bar.
Yeah.
Quite a lot of years ago now, quite a lot of years ago.
And one night I got into work to start my shift and there were two clients of mine that were
playing the pokies and they
decided that they would
match, giving me tips
so within one hour
I had a bulging pocket of about
500, 600 bucks in my pocket.
Oh my gosh.
So whatever they spent on the
pokies they then gave to you or whatever they won?
Yeah, whatever they won. So they were winning
and matching the tipping because
back then we used to take our own tips
so. Oh, that's so good.
earns more money in that week, that hour with a 60.
Good on your shares.
Wow, that's good.
That's generous of them, a bit of fun.
But Leah, you're going to blow these out of the water.
How much of a tip did you get?
$1,500.
Oh, come on, Bab.
Damn, what did you do for that?
I did nothing.
Yeah.
So I have to organise them.
a party and they wanted
things that weren't illegal in it?
Weren't illegal. That's good.
Okay, that's always good.
But they just wanted extra stuff.
Not illegal stuff.
Extra stuff, which I supplied them.
Gotcha.
With some things.
And, well, which I sourced.
I wouldn't say I supplied it. I saw.
Yeah. I'm not a supplier
and I didn't deal any of it.
I just sourced it. I was just the person
who said, I'm a saucer.
It was a person that.
last time you worked for the Randalls.
Very good.
What about this one?
Not a huge tip, but a guy gave me 50 bucks.
When I was giving him attitude,
he said I obviously needed it more than him.
I kept it in my wallet for so long as a reminder
to be kind to people no matter what kind of day I'm having.
Oh, that's nice.
So he was trying to teach her a lesson really there.
It was like a backhanded kind of thing.
And someone else texted saying it doesn't matter how big the tip is,
it still counts.
That's from a Clinton Randall.
Or is no, it's actually a Jamie Randall, Clint's wife.
Holy shit, you made it the whole way through.
If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast.
See you tomorrow.
