Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:18 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.
Starting point is 00:00:36 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,
Starting point is 00:00:55 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.
Starting point is 00:01:13 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.
Starting point is 00:01:26 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?
Starting point is 00:01:43 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?
Starting point is 00:02:03 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.
Starting point is 00:02:14 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.
Starting point is 00:02:26 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.
Starting point is 00:02:49 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.
Starting point is 00:03:00 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.
Starting point is 00:03:13 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.
Starting point is 00:03:25 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
Starting point is 00:03:40 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.
Starting point is 00:03:56 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.
Starting point is 00:04:13 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.
Starting point is 00:04:26 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.
Starting point is 00:04:36 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.
Starting point is 00:04:56 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.
Starting point is 00:05:15 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.
Starting point is 00:05:28 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.
Starting point is 00:05:47 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.
Starting point is 00:06:05 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.
Starting point is 00:06:28 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.
Starting point is 00:06:45 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.
Starting point is 00:07:01 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,
Starting point is 00:07:14 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...
Starting point is 00:07:30 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.
Starting point is 00:07:42 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.
Starting point is 00:07:59 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.
Starting point is 00:08:25 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.
Starting point is 00:08:41 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,
Starting point is 00:08:55 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
Starting point is 00:09:03 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
Starting point is 00:09:15 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
Starting point is 00:09:23 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!
Starting point is 00:09:38 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.
Starting point is 00:09:53 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.
Starting point is 00:10:08 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.

Starting point is 00:10:46 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

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

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.

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.
Starting point is 00:13:15 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.
Starting point is 00:13:29 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.
Starting point is 00:13:53 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.
Starting point is 00:14:06 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.
Starting point is 00:14:15 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
Starting point is 00:14:36 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
Starting point is 00:15:01 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
Starting point is 00:15:18 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,
Starting point is 00:15:41 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
Starting point is 00:15:59 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
Starting point is 00:16:13 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?
Starting point is 00:16:28 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.
Starting point is 00:16:49 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
Starting point is 00:17:04 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
Starting point is 00:17:19 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.
Starting point is 00:17:36 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.
Starting point is 00:17:48 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
Starting point is 00:17:59 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
Starting point is 00:18:12 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.
Starting point is 00:18:30 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,
Starting point is 00:18:41 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
Starting point is 00:18:57 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
Starting point is 00:19:14 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
Starting point is 00:19:29 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
Starting point is 00:19:47 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.
Starting point is 00:20:04 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.
Starting point is 00:20:17 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
Starting point is 00:20:28 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
Starting point is 00:20:38 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
Starting point is 00:20:47 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.
Starting point is 00:21:04 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.
Starting point is 00:21:17 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?
Starting point is 00:21:30 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.
Starting point is 00:21:45 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
Starting point is 00:22:00 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?
Starting point is 00:22:19 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.
Starting point is 00:22:33 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.
Starting point is 00:22:47 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.
Starting point is 00:23:04 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
Starting point is 00:23:16 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?
Starting point is 00:23:31 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.
Starting point is 00:23:41 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
Starting point is 00:23:59 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.
Starting point is 00:24:14 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. Clint Meg and Dan, the Edge. 1K.E. Z.

Starting point is 00:24:57 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.

Starting point is 00:26:15 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,
Starting point is 00:26:26 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
Starting point is 00:26:40 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?
Starting point is 00:26:54 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.
Starting point is 00:27:06 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.
Starting point is 00:27:24 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.
Starting point is 00:27:47 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.
Starting point is 00:28:03 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.
Starting point is 00:28:11 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.
Starting point is 00:28:38 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
Starting point is 00:29:08 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
Starting point is 00:29:24 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
Starting point is 00:29:36 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?
Starting point is 00:29:54 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.
Starting point is 00:30:12 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.
Starting point is 00:30:30 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
Starting point is 00:30:43 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
Starting point is 00:30:59 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.
Starting point is 00:31:17 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.
Starting point is 00:31:34 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
Starting point is 00:31:50 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
Starting point is 00:32:02 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.
Starting point is 00:32:14 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,
Starting point is 00:32:24 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,
Starting point is 00:32:39 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,
Starting point is 00:32:57 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.
Starting point is 00:33:14 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.
Starting point is 00:33:33 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
Starting point is 00:33:50 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
Starting point is 00:34:03 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?
Starting point is 00:34:17 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.
Starting point is 00:34:27 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.
Starting point is 00:34:47 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.
Starting point is 00:35:09 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.
Starting point is 00:35:35 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
Starting point is 00:35:52 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.
Starting point is 00:36:07 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.
Starting point is 00:36:24 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.
Starting point is 00:36:42 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.
Starting point is 00:36:53 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...
Starting point is 00:37:16 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.
Starting point is 00:37:32 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.
Starting point is 00:37:44 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.
Starting point is 00:37:56 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
Starting point is 00:38:30 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?
Starting point is 00:38:54 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.
Starting point is 00:39:13 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.
Starting point is 00:39:29 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.
Starting point is 00:39:45 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.
Starting point is 00:39:58 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.
Starting point is 00:40:10 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,
Starting point is 00:40:25 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
Starting point is 00:40:48 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.
Starting point is 00:41:05 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.
Starting point is 00:41:19 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.
Starting point is 00:41:34 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.
Starting point is 00:41:47 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.
Starting point is 00:42:03 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.
Starting point is 00:42:23 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
Starting point is 00:42:40 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.
Starting point is 00:42:56 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.
Starting point is 00:43:15 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
Starting point is 00:43:25 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.
Starting point is 00:43:40 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
Starting point is 00:43:54 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
Starting point is 00:44:11 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,
Starting point is 00:44:27 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.
Starting point is 00:44:43 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
Starting point is 00:44:59 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
Starting point is 00:45:16 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.
Starting point is 00:45:38 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.
Starting point is 00:45:55 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.
Starting point is 00:46:16 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.
Starting point is 00:46:50 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?
Starting point is 00:47:15 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.

Starting point is 00:50:21 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
Starting point is 00:50:34 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.
Starting point is 00:50:45 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.
Starting point is 00:51:07 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
Starting point is 00:51:40 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.
Starting point is 00:52:14 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
Starting point is 00:52:25 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
Starting point is 00:52:38 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
Starting point is 00:52:50 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
Starting point is 00:52:59 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
Starting point is 00:53:08 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
Starting point is 00:53:33 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
Starting point is 00:53:56 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
Starting point is 00:54:17 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
Starting point is 00:54:38 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
Starting point is 00:54:49 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
Starting point is 00:55:01 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.
Starting point is 00:55:26 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
Starting point is 00:55:49 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
Starting point is 00:56:06 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.
Starting point is 00:56:20 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.
Starting point is 00:56:41 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.
Starting point is 00:57:03 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.
Starting point is 00:57:37 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
Starting point is 00:57:58 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.
Starting point is 00:58:17 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.
Starting point is 00:58:31 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.
Starting point is 00:58:43 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.
Starting point is 00:59:00 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.
Starting point is 00:59:22 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.
Starting point is 00:59:33 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?
Starting point is 00:59:44 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.
Starting point is 01:00:00 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.
Starting point is 01:00:31 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.
Starting point is 01:00:45 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.
Starting point is 01:01:03 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.
Starting point is 01:01:19 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?
Starting point is 01:01:34 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.
Starting point is 01:01:50 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.
Starting point is 01:02:05 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.
Starting point is 01:02:20 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.
Starting point is 01:02:41 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!
Starting point is 01:02:59 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
Starting point is 01:03:09 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,
Starting point is 01:03:22 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?
Starting point is 01:03:37 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?
Starting point is 01:03:49 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?
Starting point is 01:04:02 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.
Starting point is 01:04:18 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.
Starting point is 01:04:29 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
Starting point is 01:04:42 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?
Starting point is 01:04:55 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.
Starting point is 01:05:08 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?
Starting point is 01:05:28 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...
Starting point is 01:05:38 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
Starting point is 01:05:49 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
Starting point is 01:05:59 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.
Starting point is 01:06:11 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.
Starting point is 01:06:31 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.
Starting point is 01:06:43 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
Starting point is 01:07:02 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.
Starting point is 01:07:18 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.
Starting point is 01:07:32 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.
Starting point is 01:07:50 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.
Starting point is 01:08:09 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.
Starting point is 01:08:31 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.
Starting point is 01:08:45 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.
Starting point is 01:09:07 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.
Starting point is 01:09:25 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.
Starting point is 01:09:44 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
Starting point is 01:10:04 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
Starting point is 01:10:22 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.
Starting point is 01:10:41 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.
Starting point is 01:11:00 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.
