Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. If you've ever sent a risky text and then thrown your phone across the room, you'll fit right in here. This is the Clint Megendan Podcast. Under the cover of darkness, hours before most people's alarms sound, they separately make their way to the studio. They arrive as three ordinary humans. Three people with boring, mundane, pathetic lives. Hey! Clint's life's quite exciting.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Now, with their powers combined, this is Captain Planet. No, no. It's not Captain Planet. Oh, right. Sorry, Force of Habit. This is Clint, Meg and Dan. Yo, good morning, it is 1 to 6 on your Tuesday, welcome to the show. Ash will be joining us at six, sorry, seven this morning. Seven a.m., it's just a little bit poorly, apparently.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Yeah, we said hey, just take the day off for still six, he's like nah, I'll be there at seven. That's dedication. Now, do we have hey, just take the day off for still sick. She's like, nah, I'll be there at seven. That's dedication. Now, do we have any news on the baby front? Because I haven't heard from Meg in at least 12 hours. That's rare. Is it? That's rare.
Starting point is 00:01:17 She did send. Actually, she sent me a message. And she goes, why would Cody think this and she'd screenshot a message from Cody I'm imagining on Facebook saying I hope Clint's not leaving the edge and then now I've got to be like I don't know why don't you ask Cody why he thinks what he thinks. I think Cody's come to some sort of conclusion he's listened to some stuff and he's gone Clint's leaving. Clint sounds like he's checked out. First day back. You surprised me.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Yeah. So I just said to me, no idea babe. Yeah. Ask Cody. Coming up next though, we've got a throwback. I've got an idea for the throwback today as well. And it's a Taylor Swift themed throwback. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:58 I know you're not a huge Taylor Swift fan Clint. Oh, like I like her. And I like sending you videos of like, that I see online. And I like sending you videos that I see online. Like the last one I sent you I think is when someone realised Taylor Swift's obsession with rhyming car with bar and then found like eight songs where she sings about how she's in a bar and then the next line is always about a car.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Okay, well name another word that rhymes with car or bar. Exactly. Far, far, far. Oh bugger. Guitar. Well guitar's a bit of a stretch. What? Do you want to be a little more creative?
Starting point is 00:02:31 Far, bar. Playing her guitar in her car. Anyway. Yeah, no not. She's a musician. I thought that was a good rhyme with car. I don't think while she's driving though. That's an accident waiting to happen.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Guess so. Okay so what, we do an old school tailor waiting to happen. Yeah, I guess so. Okay, so what, we do an old school Taylor? Throw that next. Yeah, real old school too. Okay. Well, you know the back catalogue better than I do. It's her best album, by the way.
Starting point is 00:02:55 And Dan got told off by an ad-off as well. It'll be fun for Coffee Catch Up. Clint, Megan, Dan. Oh my gosh. Taylor Swift, she's been in the news for the last couple of months after buying back her music catalogue. It was owned for a while by Scooter Braun, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:03:10 And he's sort of been the gatekeeper of her old music or originally recorded music for a few years. She's since brought it back. I don't know how much she spent. I don't know if it's public knowledge about how much she purchased the catalogue back for, but someone's done a calculation that she's earned already since buying it back. Around 20 million dollars. Wow, so maybe in a weird hindsight kind of way, Scooter did her a favour. Yeah. Because she also made all the money for re-releasing her songs, re-recording them all.
Starting point is 00:03:42 And that's the throwback theme today. 2023 2023 Taylor re-released her album Speak Now. I'd argue one of her better albums. I'd argue she didn't need to do that either. Because she, okay, Dan doesn't like anything bad being said about Taylor, neither does Meg. But I understand, she re-released them because she wanted to own her music and she didn't.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Now she's bought it all back so she does own it. So now she's still re-recording it so she owns two versions. It's just a money thing. It has to be now. Speaking as a Taylor Swift fan, she can do really no wrong. Like she could release a third version of all her albums and we'd laugh it up. We would. We'd laugh it up. And so I'd argue like for true Swifties, Speak Now is probably one of the favorite albums.
Starting point is 00:04:27 It's got songs like Mine on it, one of her great songs. Oh yeah. You remember we were sitting there by the water We put her on the beach Back to December, allegedly about Taylor Lorna. I'll go back to December on the beach So from Twilight, yeah. And then Dear John?
Starting point is 00:04:46 Yeah I joined Looking for That One about John Mayer. Yeah that's allegedly about John Mayer. Not now systems. Mean? Oh yeah it's a banger. She was about to be in Colleen High School. She was bang on with that too wasn't she? So my pitch, as we play mine today is a throwback. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Because it's such a great song. I don't think we play it very often on the edge. No. But it is just a banger and it's a good... Which ex-boyfriend is this one about? I don't think it is about an ex-boyfriend, this one. What? No, it's just she's made up a story about being at high school in Clifton. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Being like the uncool chick at school and liking the hot guy. Well that is a throwback, cause she's almost 40 now eh? 38 I think? I think she's 36. You would know, you're the Taylors fan. I'll google that. Yeah, same. Taylors version, she's just re-recorded another album.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Which she didn't need to do cause she actually bought back all of her music from Scooter Braun but who knows I guess you do what you want. Yeah she's only got one more to release one Taylor's version. She doesn't need to. But if she does call whatever to her life yeah good on it. She can limit however she chooses. I just found out nothing to do with Taylor Swift. Dan has 12,000 unread emails. There are many people out there that can beat me. You know how it's usually on an iPhone, I guess it happens on Android as well or Samsung, when you have the little red dot above the app, in this case the Gmail app, and it says how many unread emails you've got. Diabolical, man. If I have more than six, I'm like, I've got to clear some of those.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Mine's 12,053. I've got seven unread messages, just text messages. What? No! OK, the order of importance goes like text, then I would say messenger for me, and then probably email and then an Instagram DM. Yeah. So that's the order of which I will try to clear them. So I've got 40
Starting point is 00:06:45 unread messages. Shut up Kate has 508 unread text messages. Kate! So you just don't text Kate. How are you? But I don't even know 508 people. How are you? Well it could be like it could be five people who have texted her a hundred times with no reply. Can we try and get Kate on here? I'd love to chat to her. Well we won't, oh I almost swore, we won't text her. No, we won't text her. But I'd love to know who the texts are from. Like are they from her grandma? Yeah, well grandma could have died.
Starting point is 00:07:15 I know. And you wouldn't even know. Like even Dan concerns me that you have that many unread emails. What happens when we ping emails around about the show? That's you, no that's my personal email. So that'll be like, that's not my work email. So that's, it's just spammy stuff, you know, like.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Yeah, you know what you need to do, you need to spend some time. You could just go select all unread, delete. So you start afresh and then you need to unsubscribe. Every time you get like a junk email, unsubscribe and you gotta clean up your box. We've got Kate on morning Kate No, you put her online hold on hold on hold on you there Kate, sorry
Starting point is 00:07:54 There she is 508 text messages who are they from? All sorts, I do own a business so... Ah, Steve. How's it going? Yeah, ignoring clients. Yeah, people in my life just know that they should call me. Otherwise I'm a shit. Yeah, I've got a mate like that as well. You just text, you just don't, you won't hear back. But that's strange because how old are you Kate? Because most people will be like, don't...
Starting point is 00:08:21 If you get their voicemail, they go, don't call me, flick me a text. Yeah, I'm 25 and the worst part is that's exactly what my voicemail says. Oh my goodness. And that's so strange, so if you're a Gen Z, Gen Z typically, the ones at least around here at the edge, don't like making phone calls.
Starting point is 00:08:37 In fact, their phone ringing is quite scary, I think, for a lot of them. They're like, oh my God, who is it? What's going on? It's like, well, I don't know, answer it and you'll know. You might be a bit like me, Kate. You might have ADHD because I get to a point where I'm just like, I just don't even want to deal
Starting point is 00:08:51 with that now and I just forget about it and just leave it. It's got to a point where I can't deal with it. Definitely ADHD brain. Yeah, yeah, so you and me cut from the same gym. Yeah, I mean, actually, I feel like a lot of people use that as a lazy thing though as well. Oh, I've got ADHD. I don't give around to it. Yeah, but you can me cut from the same jib. Yeah, I mean, actually, I feel like a lot of people use that as a lazy thing though as well. Oh, I got ADHD. I don't get around to it. Yeah, but you can though.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Can you? That's an excuse. So can you read us? Let's just do a random scroll through your phone, and then when we say stop, you stop, and then click one and let's see what it is. She's on the phone though, can she do that? Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Okay. Yeah, you just start scrolling, and then we'll tell you when to stop. Okay, scrolling. Okay. You just start scrolling and then we'll tell you when to stop. Okay, scrolling. Yeah. Stop. Okay, it says, thank you, it'll be coming out from us but it might take up to two weeks. How long ago was that?
Starting point is 00:09:41 What's coming from us? That was six months ago. Okay, you need to start reading your messages. It's giving me so much anxiety. Oh well, get back to that one and then you'll be down to 507 text messages. Kate, okay Kate, because I've appreciated you taking the call and letting us just like grill you on your life choices. I will send you a double pass to our Massey movie. I know what you did last summer. Here's the problem. I'm pretty sure our producer Carl will send you a text asking for your information.
Starting point is 00:10:08 You've got to fill it out and then we send you the double pass. Okay, well that's great motivation to finally clear my inbox. Okay, okay. It's not gonna take you a while, 507. Okay, so you hold the okay and then we'll ping you a message and we'll send you a double pass
Starting point is 00:10:23 to our must see movie. It's in cinemas 17th, so Thursday. Speechless, thanks Kate. Love you to bits. Yeah. I would just do a select all and then delete and then just start afresh because sometimes it's the mountain to climb
Starting point is 00:10:40 to go through all of them. If you're not gonna do it, well then let's start today. But then delete the inbox. There's a part of me that's like, but maybe I'll be deleting something important. Oh yeah, but you're not reading it anyway. Stop it, you're winding me up. Okay, next on the show, we'll get into a scandal update.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Donald Trump features. He's just done the most Donald Trump thing ever. I think he's at that point where he realises he can't be re-elected for another term. So he's doing all the craziest stuff that no president has ever done before. I don't know, I think he thinks he't be re-elected for another term, so he's doing all the craziest stuff that no president has ever done before. No, I don't know, I think he thinks he can be re-elected. No, he can't, he can't.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Clint, Megadon, let's go! Donald Trump's done the most Donald Trump thing of all time. I mean, I've sort of switched off from Donald Trump because he can't do anything more like he's every day there's something where you're like what is he doing now? To the point where it's not shocking anymore. I think it's because you're only allowed to do two terms right? Two four-year terms. Technically but I think Donald will probably find a way around that. I don't think he already is trying to. He's in his last, his second and last
Starting point is 00:11:45 four-year term so he's kind of like well I can't get back in even if I wanted to unless he can change the law. His defense is that he was out for one, he was in for one term then he lost and then obviously Biden got in and so now he's saying this is kind of technically his first term of the second term. Shut up Donald. I've even heard rumours. Producer NEPA was telling me he wants to do like a UFC fight night, whatever number they're up to, but he wants to do it in the backyard of the White House. I know. Did you see as well, the White House posted, the official White House thing posted a Photoshopped image of Superman because the new Superman movie is out, with Donald Trump's head on it.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Yes. Just stop, man. Aren't you busy? Like, man. Are you busy? Like, aren't you even busy? I know. I know. He's not using it as a presidency. I guess he's using it as just power to do whatever he wants. And the more people like us talk about it,
Starting point is 00:12:34 the more he continues to do it. Anyway, Chelsea, an English football club in the Premier League, ended up winning the FIFA Club World Cup title, which is massive because these are like European clubs as well, which even if you're not a big footballer, remember like, you know, Messi and your David Beckhams and your Cristiano Ronaldo and all these teams that they played all around the world,
Starting point is 00:12:56 they have all the clubs to come together and Chelsea won, the greatest club. Good on them. Then there's that moment where you get handed your trophy that you've been working towards for a very long time and you hold it up into the sky and everyone goes nuts. The confetti goes bang, bang, bang, blue everywhere, right? Absolute scenes.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Donald Trump is with the old guy who's handing the trophy to the captain. Right. Then the guy who obviously works for FIFA, who handed the trophy, knows the etiquette and leaves the stage so he can hold the trophy. Donald Trump stands there and smiles next to the captain like he's gonna be in it and you see the captain go, I'm trying to lip-read and they're like yeah you can you can leave I can see them say the word leave and Donald Trump just pretends he doesn't hear or see what he's being told to do and eventually I'm surprised the captain does this.
Starting point is 00:13:45 He goes, all right, well, if he's not gonna go, he holds the trophy up into the air. Everyone starts cheering and screaming. You see all the flashes going, all the photography that are going to be this image plastered around the world. And Donald Trump's standing right next to him like he played in the team. Yeah, I mean, he goes, I think if you text Trump
Starting point is 00:14:01 to 3343, you can see the bounce back of this, because you have to see it to believe it. It kind of looks like Donald Trump's the coach of the team. If you didn't know who Donald Trump was and you just saw this old man with the rest of the young football players, you go, oh there's the coach because he's on stage celebrating with them. And the old guy from FIFA comes back, grabs Donald Trump, has to be like, you need to get off the stage now and because Donald Trump won't leave, he actually ends up pushing him through the crowd of the players so that he's still on stage,
Starting point is 00:14:25 but he's more at the back. So he's not gonna be in the front of all the photos of Chelsea winning the FIFA Club World Cup title. So anyway, yeah, that's gone viral this video. If you wanna see it again, Trump to 3, 3, 4, 3, because it's mental. It's mental. It's worth a watch.
Starting point is 00:14:40 It's Donald Trump to a T. Yeah. You know what? It's just him trying to steal the limelight. But it's like in the space where he just doesn't belong and didn't earn his right to stand there. Like any sports team that have gone and achieved greatness and are going to hold that trophy up
Starting point is 00:14:56 in the air in that moment, even as a fan of the team. You know Donald Trump in there? Yeah. The only thing he doesn't do is hold a hand on the trophy. Yeah. Yeah. He had this defense. He doesn't put his hand on the trophy, I guess. He could have, but he didn't. Okay, so what are you thinking? We're gonna open up the lines again.
Starting point is 00:15:13 We did it yesterday, Dancy, say whatever you like. We had a couple of people go fairly rogue this time yesterday. But, like we said, try anything twice. My mum's text Trump to 3343. Is she? Huge Trump supporter, my mum to 3343. Oh, is she? Huge Trump supporter, my mum. Morning, Jules. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Is she? No, she's not, she'd hate me saying that. Oh, you should have let it simmer for a few minutes. She'd hate it. The Clint Megan Dan Podcast. With Ash London. She was away sick yesterday, and we heard was gonna be joining us
Starting point is 00:15:40 at seven o'clock this morning, but she's an overachiever. She's just walked in with her ear purifier. Haven't got headphones on though. No, so not quite professional. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll remember about seven out of ten. I could probably just walk over to the microphone and say hello there can't I?
Starting point is 00:15:53 Because you're in the same room as me so I can hear you. Hey guys. Good to have you Ash. I cannot believe I'm back I'm so excited. From the second that fever hit on Tuesday night, the only thing I was thinking of is getting back to my boys. Oh bless you, bless you.
Starting point is 00:16:09 And it's so good to have you. Like we said yesterday, as an Australian who's moved here to New Zealand, sometimes 13, 14 degrees can really, during winter, can really get you. It's actually been beautiful. Yesterday I was out on the deck in my undies, in the sunshine, getting some vitamin D.
Starting point is 00:16:26 I thought, what? That sounds like euphemism, if I'm honest. Yeah, it sounded like three euphemisms. Well, my husband was at work with you guys, so if it is a euphemism, uh-oh. Nah, nah, nah, nah. You've joined us at the perfect time because we've just solicited for a segment which we call Say What You're Thinking. So basically anybody can call in.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Nice. And say what they're thinking. Just whatever's on their minds. Yeah, yesterday we had a swearer. Yeah. Love a swearer. I haven't told anyone this, but I thought this was so cool. My daughter who's 10 now, she's 10 just last week, she's got a boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Stop it. Yeah, he lives down the road. They're still together. Yes, still together. What do they do, like hold hands? Do they kiss? No, I don't think they kiss, but I have noticed a little hand.
Starting point is 00:17:11 How are you not asked? How is Jamie not asked? There's like a hand on the leg, I caught that. Oh, that's after that. She put my hand on the leg. That happens after kissing. Yeah, that's more intimate. Oh, shut up.
Starting point is 00:17:21 I haven't put my hand on my wife's leg yet. Anyway, they were- Runky deep. They were they were- One kid deep. They were coming over for a play date. We're just sorta helping out. And on the walk home, my daughter held my hand pretty much almost the whole way home. And I was like, she's holding my hand
Starting point is 00:17:38 in front of her boyfriend. And I was like, yeah. That's a power move. That is a power move. That's like, you mess with me, you mess with the big dog. But I thought you'd be too cool to even hang around your dad. She's still holding my hand in front of him. So I was like, we're still good. I've still got time.
Starting point is 00:17:54 I want to say one thing, but I don't want to massage his ego anymore. Well, you've caught him the big dog, so you already have, really. You're a cool dad, mate. Like, you're good looking, you're cool. Of course she's proud to hold your hand. So when she stops doing that... Then you know you're a big fat loser. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Okay cool. All right, well I'll take it. I'll take it then. Carlaine? Carlaine, we're gonna go to Carlaine now. Yesterday we had a swearer, as I said to you. Carlaine. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Speak your mind. Yeah, what's going on? What really irks me is people who play the game that you guys do, the easy game. Oh, easy money, yeah. Yeah. When you win 10 grand and you go, Oh, I'm shaking.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Oh, I'm shaking. Put some open to your voice. Be happy, you know? The last lady that won it, she's like, oh, I'm shaking. I'm like, oh, I bloody did my head in. That's right, and we spent all morning trying to give that away as well, so it had really built to this moment. Oh, but Carline, don't you think...
Starting point is 00:18:55 I had in it, Jep. Don't you think it's nerve-racking to get on air and the pressure's on? You could be winning $10,000. Absolutely, but I played a game with you guys and I won $500 and I was so excited oh okay she's got some skin in the game here she's just not talking a bit yeah when we saw her name and it does come up with you know sometimes it'll give us a little reference yeah and it does have ASB Impostor winner do you remember how excited you actually were Carlain? Because I don't but I do have the audio of the moment
Starting point is 00:19:36 This is Carlain who wants people to have a little more gusto when they win Like $10,000 and $500 is different, but still 500 bucks from a placing of unclean. I'll take 500. Okay, so here is Carly's winner reaction to winning $500 a few months back. You sticking with it? Sure.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Yeah. Okay. Congratulations. All right. Oh my God, thank you so much. Well done. No. No, no, it's okay. She was emotional.
Starting point is 00:20:09 She was emotional. Yeah. Yeah, and I take crying over screaming. Yeah. If you get tears, holy grail. Do you know once, if I may take a very quick tale, a friend of mine on radio, regional radio in Australia, so small town, like you don't give away, you give away, you know, $50 Coles, like a Woolworth voucher, which is great. They got a trip to New York to see Nickelback and they took them
Starting point is 00:20:31 three, four months to give it away and they were like, it was the hugest deal that had ever hit Toowoomba. Anyway. Toowoomba? That's not a fake place Dan, that's a real name in Australia. Nickelback's really popular in Toowoomba too. They are, absolutely, you know. So anyway, the woman wins, she's like, doesn't Dan, it's a real name in Australia. Nickelback's really popular in Toowoomba too. They are, I do know. So anyway, the woman wins, she's like, doesn't care. She's like, oh cool, is there any money with that? And they're like, yeah, you get a thousand dollars
Starting point is 00:20:51 spending money. She's like, oh yeah, thanks, thanks, thanks. So anyway, they book her flights, accommodation, everything for New York, and she's off in New York, and they're like, we're gonna call you on the way to the Nickelback concert from New York, just to get some like, for on air, just so people can hear, you know they calls and it you know that just like
Starting point is 00:21:08 they don't hear any like international dialogue or anything it just goes to a mobile hello I'm like hey are you you're on your way to Nickelback she's like oh no I didn't go to New York you know no busy weekend oh my thanks for the thousand bucks though didn't even go to Toowoomba? She stayed in Toowoomba? Stayed in Toowoomba. Oh my god! Didn't go. Wow.
Starting point is 00:21:28 So now all kids had soccer. Which is still a great call to place as a radio station because the rage bait that that would create for listeners who were livid that she wanted to throw it away. Unbelieveable. I mean why leave paradise? Yeah that's what they say. That's under the sign of Te Wumba. And the Talic says, why leave paradise?
Starting point is 00:21:50 Exactly. Clint, Megan, Dan. Stinky butt. Dan has a new segment he tried yesterday, Naughty 640. And there were no complaints with the accent that you did yesterday, so it's back. So we're going a little bit worse today, a little bit more risky. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:08 And it involves nuns today, so... Oh, I don't imagine we've got a lot of nuns listening, and if, you know, to be able to complain, unless people complain on behalf... I think nuns listen. Yeah, if they were gonna listen now, it would be the time they're up early. We're talking about them. You know, relatable content.
Starting point is 00:22:24 What do nuns do in the morning, pray. I think so, yeah. I feel like they need to make things for the day, like stew fruit or grind flour or something. Yeah. Do they stew fruit? I imagine they would. Stewed fruit with oats seems like a nun breakfast.
Starting point is 00:22:40 This feels like we're on Family Feud right now. And we're all huddling because we're not about to steal. And we're like the student fruit sounds... For $3000! Why do a nun eat for breakfast? Is it on the board? Student fruit? No! Damn! So good! So sadly these four nuns have passed away and they've gone to heaven and they're standing at the pearly gates.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Oh, you'd want to be dressed in your nun outfit if you're at the pearly gates, I reckon. And St Peter's standing, he's the gatekeeper and he goes to the nuns, before I can let you into heaven, you have to wash any part of you that's touched a man's near the regions. Okay. And so Sister Linda steps up and she Very unnamed is it? She said unfortunately Sister Linda Yeah sister Linda
Starting point is 00:23:30 She became a nun late in life Like a lady in life lesbian Yeah she converted She converted Okay and she goes unfortunately Peter I cast eyes on a penis once and so he goes dip your head into the holy water and wash your eyes out so she does and he goes you can pass through. Sister Giselle. Giselle should have gone last.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Goes up and she goes um. What do they call her for short? Giselle. Okay obviously. Sisters. Let everyone work it out, Dan. God. So she goes up and she goes,
Starting point is 00:24:10 unfortunately, Peter, I touched one once. And so she dips her hand in the holy water. And he goes, you're fine, pass through. As she passes through, there's a real fluffle between the final two nuns and the nun that was last in line is pushing up. She's pushing up to the holy water. And he hold on hold on hold on what's going on here and she goes I just want to dip my mouth in the holy water before the next nun dips
Starting point is 00:24:35 her arse in. Daniel. It's terrible. Anyway so that's where you sort of just hit a song there Clint, just to get out. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I think I've gone too far. Clint, me and Dan. Agree or disagree, New Zealand has the best work-life balance in the world.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Really? According to a new study, the reason why it's probably getting so much traction online is because I think the stats are actually wrong. And a lot of people are commenting, saying that in New Zealand, the reason why it's number one is because it says you get 32 days of annual leave, which I think standard is about 20 days, four weeks for most businesses unless you negotiate something more. But then other people are suggesting that maybe we
Starting point is 00:25:30 do get a lot of public holidays and maybe that brings it to 32. Public holidays in this joint, as someone who moved his... did you just fart? No. Did you hear that? I heard it too. No, it's just my chair. Oh, he always blames it on his chair. He's got a very gassy chair. I could smell it, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:25:45 As someone who moved here six months ago, I feel like the first three months were just public holidays back to back. But also, I believe this so hard because you guys operate at a different level of... How do I say this? She's saying we're lazy, Clint. Not lazy.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Oh. There's just like... Like in Australia, if I sent an email about something right, I'd get a response within like half an hour. Crikey! That's racist. Within how long? That was as soon as the crikey was started.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Clint, you're supposed to say... Play that every time Ash speaks at the start, not halfway through when she's talking. Like you expect an email straight away. Over here, it's just like, maybe I'll get back to you, maybe I'm going to the Coromandel for the weekend. Like it's very, and there's a big focus on like going away with your family,
Starting point is 00:26:39 which is bloody awesome. I think I sort of agree as well. I think in New Zealand like in America they get very little holidays. Oh yeah. Like no public holidays at all except for like summer break but even then not a lot of America even does that. Another idea like a summer holiday which is probably about now and then they get a weekend Christmas if you're lucky. Thanksgiving or something. Yeah they don't do the whole like two and one, two and three, four thing where they kids and teachers get two weeks off
Starting point is 00:27:04 every 10. Yeah, they have like 14 King's birthday weekends a year. Well, the other stat that I think angered a lot of women, a lot of mums, it says that the other reason why we scored highest in the world for work-life balance is because we get 26 weeks of paid maternity leave, which is true, but it says 26 weeks, 100% pay. Ooh, that's a lie, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:27:26 Not true. No, that is not the case. It's not means-tested. I think it caps at around $500 a week, regardless of how much or a little you earn. Who's doing these studies? That's what I want to know. How dare they?
Starting point is 00:27:37 I know. It just makes the rest of us feel bad. OK, well, it says that Australia has ranked 8th, 30 annual leave days. That's not true also. Not true? No chance. And it says paid maternity leave is 12 weeks minimum wage. So you get $8.12, which is the minimum wage, for 12 weeks.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Yes, but most people's workplaces will chip in on top of that. It's pretty good in Australia, it could be better always. But childcare in New Zealand? Much cheaper. Is it? Oh better always. But childcare in New Zealand, much cheaper. Is it? Oh my gosh, like half the price. But the thing is we'll complain about it still because a lot of the people that complain
Starting point is 00:28:11 don't know how good we've got it. Yeah. I think a lot of the time, if you look outwardly from New Zealand, there is much worse you could be doing. I think it's a wonder. I've lived in four countries, I think. This is a wonderful place to raise kids.
Starting point is 00:28:26 The medical system's incredible. The fact that you can take your kid to see a doctor and not pay anything is amazing. Yeah. We're lucky. Do you agree, Techs3343? Because I imagine there'll be a lot of people out there being like, I'm working a 12-hour day today. My work-life balance sucks.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Yeah. Yeah, I think, and there's probably a reason why 50,000 Kiwis are moving to Aussie every year I think that's the ever then the glass is always greener I've heard a lot of people that have done that and then moved back after like three years because they've gone you know what we're ashes yeah I've done the opposite I'm starting a new trend baby Clint, Megan, Dan. Yo! Turn the sound up! Love music! Love music!
Starting point is 00:29:09 Yeah, that's the fire! Love like... Clint! To the Dan! And I'm Meg! Where that's London? Clint! To the Dan!
Starting point is 00:29:19 And I'm Meg! Come on, Ash, pull it together! Clint! To the Dan! And I'm Meg! Where that's London? Drop the bass! This is Clint, pull it together. Clint said the Dan had no Meg, well that's London. Drop the beat. This is Clint, Meg and Dan, live.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Live. Yay! Good morning. We have adapted Ash's intro and included ourselves. That is so cool. How did we do that? Who's doing the fake Jamaican accent? Me.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Good morning everybody. He's good. He's good. I'm a huge fan. My favourite movie of all time is Cool Runnings. And I remember we had Junior Bevel, the small guy, on. And I asked him, because we did a scene together, if I could do the Jamaican accent. And he said yes. And after the interview we found out he's not even Jamaican. So he had no jurisdiction. He had no authority to give me!
Starting point is 00:30:05 Yeah. That's on him. Yeah. Exactly. What a film though. Gee. Such a good movie. Oh that's so good, boy.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Thank you. That was amazing. All right, let's see if we can give away 10,000 bucks second day back. Win $10,000 right now with the Edge 10K ET Money. All right, it is all thanks to BNZ for giving away their cash this morning.
Starting point is 00:30:27 We will give you 30 seconds to give us 10 answers, starting with the letter S this morning. If you want to pass, we can. If we've got time, we'll come back to it, but no repeated answers. You get one wrong, you're out of there. Anita's first to play this morning. $10,000 she would spend towards a trip to Europe. That is great. Morning, Anita. Good morning, guys. guys you sound nervous Anita I would be I am feeling
Starting point is 00:30:51 nervous yeah my heart is beating a million million miles an hour my advice to you would be use those nerves yeah use it for adrenaline push through and you just got to focus for 30 seconds that's it where when you imagine yourself on your trip in Europe, what do you imagine Anita? Well, what are you doing? Probably just like lying on a beach in the South of France eating a whole bunch of croissants.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Yes, maybe an Aperol Spritz. Do you drink an Aperol Spritz? I will do an Aperol Spritz. Yes. Aperol Spritz and a croissant. Maybe there's like a topless French waiters maybe bringing it around to you in like a sunbed. Okay, well that's motivation.
Starting point is 00:31:28 You got only 30 seconds and 10 correct answers, Dan, between that being a fantasy and turning it into a reality. Here we go, Anita. The letter is S. You have 30 seconds to start to the end of my first question. Name something you wear. Skirt. A shape.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Square. A school subject. Er... Skirt. Something hot. The sun. An Olympic sport. Swimming.
Starting point is 00:32:00 A cocktail. Spritz. A hot food. Erm... Salmon. A hot food. Um, salmon. A water animal. A seal. Oh my gosh. I thought she was going to do it.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I was ready to do the French accent. You're brilliant. It was great. You just need to shave like half a second out of every one. I don't know if I'd give you stats as a school subject. What do you mean? Are you on drugs of course? Statistics? Maths with statistics and then you have maths with calculus.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Oh statistics then yeah. What else is stats? Yeah no I forgot statistics. Stats is short for statistics. I should have taken English. You got eight from eight. You just didn't get a chance to get to question nine or 10 or anything.
Starting point is 00:32:43 That was a great game. Oh, thanks guys. Yeah, the pace was there. I think you just needed slightly quicker answers, I think, but then you would have been there. Yeah. It just shows how easy it is. It's doable.
Starting point is 00:32:56 We're not setting you up to fail here. Back again at eight o'clock, your chance to play for 10K. And we're giving people of the Nelson Tasman area a crack at eight, because of course they're dealing with all the flooding in there at the moment so 10k imagine coming quite handy. Clint, Megan, Dan. Unpopular Opinions is back after you Mrs. Ash we're talking about Japan and yes I made this comment at the end of my wrap-up when we did like a Japan vs New Zealand because I don't think we realize how good we have it here in New Zealand. Best country. Yeah right and I may have angered some
Starting point is 00:33:28 people who really love Japan. To get from one incredible moment to another incredible moment is so much admin that I don't think I will be rushing back to Japan. Like I'm glad I did it and I did some incredible things but man 37 million people in Tokyo alone right so and you've had kids with you yeah I had kids which is I think a big caveat yeah I've been twice without kids and with you know and it you're just like okay we need to hop across town easy walk a bit faster you know what I mean you're not having to like look for look around where I loved it you need need to go another five years
Starting point is 00:34:06 when you can leave your kids at the hotel room or let them do their own thing. But also sometimes it's okay to say something was amazing, but the effort that it took to make it that amazing, I haven't got the energy to do it again. Yeah, and then I realised that maybe on one of those holidays it just likes to... Sit?
Starting point is 00:34:21 Just like sit and have a bourrée near the water or something, you know? Or like a pool with a swim up bar. Like that's probably more me. It can be very overwhelming in Japan, especially in this country there's far fewer people. You're not used to those crowds. Even when I fly back to Sydney now, like I land at the airport and I'm like, oh, all these people, get out of my space.
Starting point is 00:34:43 People do annoy me. There's a lot of people that have checked through yesterday and today with some unpopular opinions like Clint. This one got me because I kind of, there's a little bit of truth to it to a certain degree. Shower towels only need to be washed once a month. You never clean it when you use it. Disgusting.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Yuck, it's still wet. It's wet and no one has proper airing in their bathroom. My husband, when I met him, the towels. Oh no, what's he doing? The dampness on the towels and they just smelled like bacteria. Even with a heated towel rack? I don't think he had one of those in his spatula. But it's just so easy for towels to get gross.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Although I once lived with a girl who washed them after every single shower. Too much. Like she lived in a hotel, straight to the floor. Exactly, and she's washing them around too much, babe. If you think that marriage is work, you've married the wrong person. I disagree on that as well. Every marriage I think has, you have to work at it.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Even if, oh my God, like if you love that person more than anything in the world, which you should be if you're married to them. I think it's too hard, like there's times where you have to work at it. I think you marry the person that you're willing to work with. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:53 It's like I love you so much that I will do the work, otherwise I can't be bothered doing the work. What about this unpopular opinion? Concerts start and finish too late. They're in dark arenas. They can start any time. Yes, yes, yes. Come on.
Starting point is 00:36:04 That's not even that unpopular now. I think now that you've voiced it, you realise how popular it is. Yeah. They're in dark arenas. They can start any time. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Come on! That's not even that unpopular now. I think now that you've voiced it, you realise how popular it is. If it was a 5pm start for Benson Boone, I'm lovin' life. They should do matinees. Yes. And she's right. It's dark in there. Give me a stabby bee and some overpriced snack and chungies and let me live my life with Benny Boone at 5pm.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Yeah! And buy eggs? When you're at Spark Arena it seems like night anyway when they turn the lights down. Why not? Fastpasses at amusement parks shouldn't exist. So we can pay a little more and skip the queue. I mean it's available to everyone but it's maybe not available to everyone. But the problem is as well with the Fastpass that I've experienced, and I've only done it in Australia in the Gold Coast
Starting point is 00:36:45 Everybody buys it so the ends up being a queue in the Fastpass area They need to make the overall ticket a bit more expensive for everybody but let 30% people less in Yeah, that would be better. Spread the crowds. Yeah, we should use ice and beer to keep it cold. No disagree That's oh, I don't know about that. That's just water your beer to keep it cold. No, disagree. That's... Oh, I don't know about that. That's... Just water your beer down when it melts. Batman and Superman do not belong in the same universe. Could they have DC?
Starting point is 00:37:13 Someone steps that through? No. All fireworks should be banned. I agree with that one. I love fireworks. As a pet owner, I think that they're... As a what? A pedo.
Starting point is 00:37:23 No, a pet owner. Oh, God. It sounded like you said as a pedo. I'm so glad we cleared that up. I apologise. As a pet owner. Okay, that makes more sense, doesn't it? You can't shorten owner and just be a pedo. Yeah, and I can't speak for the pedo community
Starting point is 00:37:43 if they like or dislike fireworks. Who knows? And their opinion is irrelevant and doesn't a pedo. Yeah, and I can't speak for the pedo community if they like or dislike fireworks. Who knows? And their opinion is irrelevant and doesn't matter. Exactly. It is horrible when you've got a little doggy who's scared of fireworks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're not even good anymore.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Just go to the public ones where they have like the real good big bangers. The ones you buy at the shops are not good. Oh, and one last one, taking part in TikTok trend is for people who have no original ideas. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Okay. I do kind of agree with you. Ash, this is a story that some people may know if they're early listeners of the show, because I think it happened around six o'clock a few weeks back. But to get you up to speed, there is a lovely woman here, Christine, who restocks the vending machines. Oh, yeah, sorry, this morning. Oh, did you she's a big fan of the show, travels all around the country very very hard working and she was telling me that she was doing a musical theatre show, Calendar Girls. Yeah I remember. Is it musical theatre or is it just a drama like theatre show?
Starting point is 00:38:40 I don't know it could be that Dan. I think it is just a show. And she said that they needed more guys And I said I'll talk to Dan I was like oh she thinks Dan could be in a calendar girls Theater show turns out I think we got the wrong end of the stick in regards to what this calendar girls show was about Girls are you talking about? What movie the calendar girls movie with the old woman who get breast cancer and then raise money via a calendar. Is that the? What? Which one? To be honest, I don't know which movie I'd prefer to see.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I'm thinking it's like Hustlers with like Jennifer Lopez. I'm thinking it's like this movie from like the 2000s. Oh, Calendar Girls. Ah. That's okay. That way. You need to get it right before your audition. They're wearing like straw hats with the little sunflowers on the front.
Starting point is 00:39:27 That is not what I thought the women would be wearing. I could be right, but we need to figure out the audition. If I turn up to the audition doing a Magic Mike routine or something, they're like, this movie's about breast cancer. I want to see the Magic Mike routine so bad. I would love Daniel to audition, and they're all just going, what is he doing? I want to see the Magic Mike routine so bad. I would love Dan to audition and they're all just going, what is he doing? Why has he got a g-string on?
Starting point is 00:39:53 It's just like thrusting the floor and things. Anyway, once we cleared it up I said to Dan, oh she wants you to maybe look at auditioning because it was in your old stomping ground in Howick, a suburb in Auckland where Dan grew up. And Dan, do you remember what you said when I said that Christine wanted you to be a part of the show? Yeah, and keep in mind Ash, I've done my time in Amdram. I've done amateur theatre, amateur dramatics for many years. How did he find a wife? Okay. How did he impregnate a woman? Just before she knew it at Amdram. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Okay, so Dan had done his time, like he ain't no rookie, I think was what he was saying. Did he impregnate a woman? Or just before she knew it at Andram? Okay. Okay, so Dan had done his time. Like, he ain't no rookie, I think, with what he was saying. I worked for free for many years. Okay? And there comes a time in a man's life where you have to get paid. You've got to get that coin.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Yeah, that is what he said. Okay. What would you open your mouth for? A hundred bucks. A hundred bucks? A show. So if it's a three week run, I want $100 a show. Great.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Okay. Now, I think I'm selling myself short there as well. You know, I'm in a national radio show, man. I deserve at least 200. So this feels very intermediate school, but Christine from the vending machine has given me a handwritten note and asked me to pass it on to my friend Dan So it's written on lined paper. It's been ripped out of a notebook. It's folded up Oh, I can't read that. Oh my gosh. Oh, I feel bad now because she's
Starting point is 00:41:14 I love Christine the lady. She's a legend. She puts Doritos You know, I know she puts shapes in there because I like them. She's a good woman No, she puts shapes in there because you buy them all and it's good for business Okay Okay No, she butchers him because you buy them all and it's good for business. Okay. Okay. So she's in me go rings often. I love those me go rings in there. So she's the one that's organising this amateur dramatics show.
Starting point is 00:41:32 It feels like she's probably very involved in it and she's trying to help fill the spots and stuff and she's probably told someone, I know a guy. Oh my gosh, she's doing all the work. When I say stuff on air I forget people are listening and she's obviously heard that I'm like, I want at least $100 a shot Okay, so she said, oh god this is so cringe, dear Dan welcome back Oh lovely, lovely, an update on the calendar girls the musical edition not the calendar girls strip club Okay, so she said all that she's just clearing that up
Starting point is 00:42:00 So it is the one about breast cancer. Okay good so we're 100% sure now. Okay sadly we cannot afford your fee of $100 per shot. So she's asked. She's gone with a proposal. She's gone to the director and gone I mean is there any budget because we could get Dan Webby. No you don't need me okay. Oh my god she's had that conversation. She's gone we need we could get Dan Webby from the edge he only wants $100. Maybe she had a PowerPoint presentation,
Starting point is 00:42:25 some photos of you, your Wiki page. Okay, however, we will be communicating with your promo team to discuss ways of winning tickets. Okay. All is not lost. Okay. Okay. Do you think The Edge would give away tickets to Calendar Girls the musical and Howick? Well, if you were in it, I think it'd help.
Starting point is 00:42:43 Could we do like for someone in Christchurch who will experience this paper to how it to see calendar girls. Okay. You'd have to really make sure they knew what the calendar girls show was that they were coming up from Christchurch for. Come with like the fluffy feather bow we're on
Starting point is 00:42:59 and the little chaps ready to be like, what, what? She then goes on to say, this is not a bribe, but please enjoy these shapes, which she's given me, which is very lovely, which are my favourite, and they're my favourite as well, Christine. Welcome back also to Clinton Ash. Much love goes to Meg Guy and Daisy, Chris the vending machine filler and theatre cast member.
Starting point is 00:43:19 What a beautiful human being. Dan, do a pro bono for her. I'm not doing any pro bonos. Give her a pro bono. I would only do that if it was calendar girls' strip club. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Clint, Meg and Dan scandal. With Ash London filling in for Meg's mat leave
Starting point is 00:43:35 for the next few months. So Justin Timberlake, when we were growing up, is in NSYNC, was kind of an untouchable, right? He was the man. He was like the early 2000s Harry Styles. Totally, but like probably even more because there was no social media so like even more of an untouchable behemoth and he was dating Britney Spears and then he left NSYNC and he became even bigger as this kind of like superstar then he got married and then there was like the social
Starting point is 00:44:01 network and all the films. That's right, he did Friends with Benefits the same year that he... What a film with Mila... was that with Mila Kunis? Triple threat, isn't it? He is a triple threat. And it almost felt like he was moving away from music then, he was just gonna become this big Hollywood actor. Totally. And it's amazing that the turnaround that has happened. And I don't know when the turnaround happened, maybe it was the... when Britney kind of came out and was honest about some pretty shitty treatment from him and there was like a
Starting point is 00:44:28 hit and run or a DUI. And he did the do you know who I am I think that ruined it for me. When anyone goes do you know who I am you go yeah so there's some footage that's just it's I mean I hate to do a pylon but you know he's gonna be fine. He's performing at Lytham Festival in St Anne's, England, earlier this month. It sounds like a very fancy festival. They're having cups of teens, guns. And the irony is not lost on me. He's performing Crimea River, which is his, you know, like diss track to Britney Spears saying, wah wah, cry me a river. The audio cuts out halfway through,
Starting point is 00:45:08 so he's just like awkwardly standing there on stage. This is the audio as people are just kind of like, what's happening? So at this point, he's on stage and now there's like all these sound guys are crowding around him. And you can't hear what he's saying, but you get a sense he is like yelling he's doing the finger across his throat thing. Someone's losing their job. He's angry and it kind of goes on and on and
Starting point is 00:45:35 then he just kind of goes off stage and everyone's filming him. So awkward. Everybody knows if you're gonna go NATO at your team, do it off camera. That's what I do. I go into the producer booth where there's no cameras and yell at them. I don't do it in the studio. Rookie era. Rookie era. Going to studio B where we aren't rich enough to have cameras in both studios.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Don't do it in studio A. Or the camera in there we do have a camera that's very pixelated so you can't really tell if I'm yelling or swearing. I just feel like it's time for him to maybe just take a back seat, spend some time with his family, produce some movies, just do some stuff. We need five years away from him. Yeah, I think so too. Because nothing's helping.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Yeah. Five years? That's a while, but I guess if you're too late, you'd have a nest egg. He's fine. Yeah. He's fine. And also, I sort of feel for people like him as well on a serious note, because they've gone from, as we said before,
Starting point is 00:46:29 like he was the, he was A-list, full A-list, like probably like Justin, I mean, Michael Jackson level for a while. And then he's just sort of dropped out of there. And I can imagine mentally, that is a really hard pill to swallow, going from like this, everybody loves you, to a lot of people hating you. When you're a white man who's never really had to face the consequences ever. This is gonna rock Dan up.
Starting point is 00:46:50 You can't drop out of A-list. If you're an A-list, you're an A-lister. Justin Timberlake is an A-lister. I don't know, I think he's dropped to a B. I think you can't drop out of A-list. He's a B. It was a slow kind of wiggle out. He's wiggled out.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Yeah, he's wiggled himself out of there. We still know who he is. We just did all the chat about who he is, and NS wiggled himself out of there. We still know who he is, we just did all the chat about who he is and NSYNC and Britney Spears. We don't forget, the world knows Justin Timberlake. You can't have a, can you have a stinker around an A-lister? We're talking to a man, Ash, that put Vince Vaughn at A-list.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Yeah, that's it. Jeez, I don't, he's got no credibility. Okay, well it's happening again at 8.30 this morning. We do it once a week. I love the A-lister. So the A-List list will be back. But before then, we got Celeb Guess Who? You go up against Ash London. You name a celebrity, she has spoken to them.
Starting point is 00:47:34 I would have it a guess. So we're doing Celebrity Guess Who? I love this. Very competitive too. Ash knows celebrities though. I feel like she's gonna be hard to beat. Okay, if you think you can, we'll give you a voucher to go spend in store at our show sponsor Z. You want to have a crack at it? Why not? Oh 800 years. If I win they don't get it.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Yeah and we'll just jackpot it. Okay. Someone finally does beat you. Yeah great. They won't be spending money on groceries for weeks. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Ash London who has probably spoken to more celebrities than any person that I know on the planet. And we thought when it comes to known celebrities, there is no one greater. Or is there? On 0800 The Edge, cause Nadia's gonna give it a go.
Starting point is 00:48:17 Is it me? Is it you? Who knows? Yes, it is. Can you guess who? If you missed who? Who knows? Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Just a quick question, Ash, what's your number? How many approximately big celebrities have you spoken to? I would say I've been doing it for maybe 12 or 13 years, averaging maybe... 2000 maybe? Bloody hell. And Nadia, what's your number? Two maybe? Bloody hell. And Nadia, what's your number? Um, two maybe? Two. Who's the most famous person you've ever met, Nadia? Um, probably the Black Eyed Peas.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Oh! Oh, I'd count that as four. Yeah, there's four of them there. Oh yeah. Well, yeah, technically. At least two famous ones out of the tour a bit. Anyway. Alright, so here's how it's going to work, Nadia.
Starting point is 00:49:06 You and Ash will go question for question. You will alternate. Your question must be a yes or no question.

We've got your chance to play for 10K with Easy Money coming up in just a couple of minutes. And we thought it'd be cool to open up the phone lines to the people of Nelson and Tasman. You guys have been doing it tough
Starting point is 00:56:19 with the floods at the moment. And we've got Andy on for a bit of an update as to what the situation looks like at the moment there. You're from Nelson for a bit of an update as to what the situation looks like at the moment there. You're from Nelson Andy. Yeah g'day guys. Pretty average to be honest. This sort of rain is a little bit unprecedented for the Nelson region.
Starting point is 00:56:35 I've lived there pretty much all my life. I've never really seen anything this amount. 425 mils in 20 hours over the weekend in the Motuaka Dovedale area is pretty horrendous. Franklin Mine have got a farm there and these calf sheds have just been the shed. It wasn't just the rain, it was the wind, it was a massive storm. It blew the roofs off, floods coming through, rivers changed course, houses flooded, bridges gone. It is quite severe, as bad as anyone can remember it in the living memory. Not so much the Richmond Nelson area, that got hit a couple of years ago, you remember that
Starting point is 00:57:10 one. This is more over towards Motuaika, the Tasman district. So pretty horrendous stuff. Our thoughts really go out to people down there because I mean it is, when this sort of stuff happens in your life, it is really traumatising because it uplifts everything, right? Your house is flooded, your lifestyle blocks, like it is really traumatizing because it uplifts everything right your house is flooded your lifestyle blocks like it is genuinely really really hard yeah and it takes away your control which i think is the scariest part right we think we have this semblance of control over our lives when mother nature does this it can be so terrifying yeah yeah so really thinking uh things looking um like they're on the up andy or what's the weather like currently is it easy not too bad currently yeah a little bit of sunshine so it's not too bad at the moment I think the thing just to remember about
Starting point is 00:57:50 this it wasn't one this was twice in two weeks the first one was bad enough which knocked a lot of people sideways and they were just starting to recover put their lives back together again and then the second one came in which from all intents and purposes what I can tell was actually worse and anything that had been damaged in the first one got destroyed in the second one so it's um there's a lot of you you're right about the lifestyle blocks a lot of people have got lifestyle blocks and not a lot of them have full insurance so there's a lot of people who are really really struggling farmers are really struggling as well because this
Starting point is 00:58:22 time of the year all their fences have gone so they can't hold their stock in there's some real serious issues and I know Federated Farmers are really struggling as well because this time of the year all their fences have gone so they can't hold their stock in. There's some real serious issues and I know federated farmers are really helping out, the Rural Support Trust is really helping out and just the local communities. You know the local Facebook page that's really going for it as well so people are pulling together but they're still on adrenaline at the moment. It's next week and the week after and the week after when reality hits that they really need support. Yeah anyone gets back to their lives and thinks oh Oh, everything's all good now. Hey, thanks Andy We appreciate someone who actually knows what's going on in the region at the moment We thought it'd be cool to open up the phones to the Nelson and Tasman area if you want to have a crack at easy money
Starting point is 00:58:58 10k I imagine when you go through some of those could be quite helpful and this could just who knows This could just be the thing. Yeah, that puts a little smile little smile on the dial so if you want to have a crack at it Nelson Tasman where you at 0800 The Edge we will play in 60 seconds your chance to play for 10k all thanks to BNZ BNZ believes that when you're starting out managing your money should be easy so you can focus on winning at whatever you are doing.

Starting point is 01:01:13 Oh, frozen pizza. That's fine, we would have given it to you. Pizza can be cold. And pectorius, was that what she said instead of pectorals? Oh yeah. Yeah. It's like Oscar Pistorius. That's what I said. Honey, can we not kick Izzy while she's down?
Starting point is 01:01:28 I'm sorry Izzy, you did great. She knows what she loves. That's not nitpick. Thanks Izzy, appreciate you playing this morning babe. Oh good. Thanks guys. Yeah, appreciate you. Back again this afternoon with Edge Arbos. All thanks to BNZ. You can play again at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Clint, Meg and Dan. Right we're talking surnames this morning. And we want to talk about the weird ways different families are doing it because traditionally it's like you know people get married they have kids everyone kind of takes them the man's surname which we accepted for a long time but as you get older you're like well the woman's carrying the baby why does she need to lose her surname? That's true. You know what I mean? Like I'm doing the hard work here.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Or you get married so you take his name traditionally whatever wherever that started the fight but you would think when you have a baby we're the the mums don't carry on their name with the child after after birthing. Especially because people don't know this when you name baby, like when you are at the hospital and you fill out the birth certificate, you can name that baby whatever you want. The surname can be made up completely. There's no expectation that either of your surnames
Starting point is 01:02:35 will even be on there. I think you touched on it. It all boils down to tradition, doesn't it? And we've just gone, that's the way it happens. But why can't you just name it whatever? And we've just gone, that's the way it happens. But why can't you just name it whatever? And that is happening. So a friend of mine, her surname is Flint and her partner's surname is like Eggenbaum or something like that. Like one of those long ass names. So what they did was, you think, okay, they just took her name Flint nice and easy, na na na
Starting point is 01:03:03 na na na. They mixed the names together and made a new- Flint and Balm. Flint and Balm. They made a whole new surname for their kids. That's quite cool. Because I think it's badass. Yeah, because it's better than doing double barreled Flint, Egg and Balm.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Yeah. That would be weird. They're making a whole new thing. It's kind of like, yeah, like the celebrity names that we give, like Brangelina. Yes. You know, where you put them both together, but doing it for a last name so you both feel like you're a little skin in the game. So I didn't take my husband's surname, so my son has his surname.
Starting point is 01:03:33 So now I don't have the same surname as my son, but I also don't want to change my nanny. You look like the side piece. Rice or the hot nanny. Yeah, all that. Maybe a bit of both. Yeah. Why can't the nanny be the side piece? That is true. In many cases they probably are.
Starting point is 01:03:50 So Dan, you like your wife's name. Well, similar sort of situation. I like my last name, Webby. It's kind of my identity, I guess, now. And it's the same as my mum and my brother, so I'd like to keep it that way. But then there's a side of me that wants to, because we named my son George after my wife's last name so his last name is Fontenia. Yeah so cute. Then there's a part of me that's like Dan Fontenia sounds cool. Way cooler than Dan Weavy. You could be an F1 driver with that name.
Starting point is 01:04:20 Dan's like an Italian actor. You could be anything you want wouldn't! Yeah, an adult movie star, Dan Fontania. Yeah. If we were going off the name alone, then definitely. Yeah, but I think the only reason I'd change it is not because of that, that's just an added extra, but it'd be so I have the same name as the rest of my immediate family, my wife and my son. But then I'm alienating my other side of my family,
Starting point is 01:04:40 my mum and my brother. Which is what women have been expected to do for generations and generations. And we just lose our name, that's expected. Do you wonder if your life would be different if you were Dan Fontana? Like I wonder, like even just hearing that, if I don't know you, you're applying for a job,
Starting point is 01:04:58 Dan Weabee versus Dan Fontana. I wonder if there are opportunities that would come your way because of the connotations that come up with a cool first and last. Possibly. Now you're saying that Webby's not cool in any way, shape or form. It's a different cool. It's not Fontania. Thank you Ash. Like it's kind of like Latino almost, or like it's European. Portuguese. Portuguese. You would have been on Dancing with the Stars by now if you were Dan Fontaine. I would have danced, I would have had great pointed legs,
Starting point is 01:05:28 I would have been very good. Yeah, the name would have just kind of overtaken you and become you. What about this one from Krista? We didn't want either of our surnames so we made up a new one after our dog, Wolf. Zane, you can do that. Oh, that's a cool last name, Wolf.
Starting point is 01:05:43 I love that. Oh, she's on, last name Wolf. Wolf. I love that. Oh she's on, she's on right now. Morning Krista. Krista, wait so you named your dog Wolf first and then loved it so much, you changed your last names. Well, we didn't want either name because they're both awful. They weren't that bad, but we had,
Starting point is 01:06:00 I was pregnant and needed to choose one. We didn't want to have multiple names in the family. And we were gonna pick my grandparent's last name, which was Rock, and that was cool. Then all the families had a big freak out about it, and so we were like, whatever, we'll just name that dog. So then they were like, they're all freaking out
Starting point is 01:06:17 that we're taking granddad's last name, so let's just make one up. And name it after the dog instead of grandpa. That's cool. Yeah, but why not? We get caught up in these stupid traditions. Well, not stupid, but these expectations. Yeah. Part of growing up is realising you can do whatever the heck you want.
Starting point is 01:06:32 Yeah, I'd love to hear some more name stories of people that have like, got a different name. They've gone against the norm, against the tradition. Oh, I don't know, many people are rivaling Krista. Taking your dog's name as your last name? We're talking surnames, because I guess there are rules, but we're wondering who made the rules and why we're all still adhering to them all.
Starting point is 01:06:53 Because it's 2025, and we can do what we want. So many people are just making up new surnames to their kids, or they're taking the female surname. Do whatever they want. There's a lot of people that have ticked through, there's three ticks of all along the similar ilk of people that have had their last name dirtied in a way. Like there's a family member that's done some bad stuff
Starting point is 01:07:12 and then they've gone, I need to distance myself from that person so they've changed their name. Just remember something. Oh God. Oh, who's done what in your family? And her name was Jenny Cock, C-O-C-K. Poor thing.
Starting point is 01:07:26 Really? And then one day her dad came to her, single dad, he said, Jen, I'm changing our name. And she was like, thank God. We're going to Depot, we're changing the name. She said, what are we changing you to? And he goes, Cock, but C-O-K. No!
Starting point is 01:07:40 They changed it to Cock. No, Dad, X. Would be the letter I would go, maybe? Have you going through the rigmarole and filling out all the forms change it to something completely. It just took the C out. Really? It's not relevant then. Oh.
Starting point is 01:07:53 Actually maybe you would change the C at the front just to anything else. Anything. Lock, dock, rock, fuck, anything. Well maybe not an F. Yeah just change it completely. Tegan you've had a situation with your now husband. Yeah we got married about three months ago. Congratulations. Thank you very much and my auntie since I was a really young kid had always said to me don't change your name, don't change your name, because she changed it. And our last name was really important to her.
Starting point is 01:08:27 So I had this thing in the back of my head, like, oh, I can't change my name. But I did want to sort of honour my husband's family, but also keep my family name. So he had a double barrel last name. So we dropped one of them and added my name. Oh, I thought you were about to say you went the triple barrel surname. I was like babe too far. So his last name was Renwick Russell.
Starting point is 01:08:55 His last name was Renwick Russell and my last name was Foster so we're now the Renwick Fosters. Love it. It's so fancy. It's much better than the Renwick Russell Fosters. Yeah. I'll tell you that. You are. That's a lot. That's really good. I think you picked the better of the two. Renwick vs Russell. I think you picked the better one. The two there. And Sharon, good morning. Good morning. Hi. So you changed your surname as well. I did. Yes, it's actually my daughter's I did. Yes, it's actually my daughter's choice. Her father was a deadbeat and also my brother had duetied our name anyway. So she said, Mum, let's change our name. There's nobody's name our brother had than our dog's's name which was Pukka. Oh my god, that's another dog! How many people are doing this? Yeah yeah so we were like well at least his name wasn't Sposh or anything like that.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Or Wags McGee. Wags McGee. Sharon Wags McGee. Doggy Mcdoggface. Love that. Sherri Mcdoggface. Sherri Wags McGee. Doggy Mcdoggface. Love that. So what else is there's someone that works for an aerospace company that makes spacecraft.
Starting point is 01:10:12 And they changed their last name to Rocket. To match their profession. Now that is cool. Like the name Rocket even if you don't work in spacecraft is cool. Wouldn't it be a nightmare having to change your Gmail and your Insta handle and all that stuff?
Starting point is 01:10:27 Yeah, again, women have to do it when we get married. Yeah, you've got to do it anyway. You know what I mean? Oh, it's so hot. Yeah, exactly bro. God. God, he's so privileged, isn't he? Such a privileged white man. What do you mean privileged? You don't even change your last name either, Eddie. Yeah, I'm lumping myself in with you. We're both privileged.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Anyway, well maybe this has inspired some people to go, you know what, my last name does suck. I am going to change it. I think there's going to be a lot of people in New Zealand today renaming themselves after their dog. If there's anything I've learnt this morning. That's definitely, I think, a consideration for a lot of people going, well, I do love my dog's name, that's why I gave it to him, why don't I give it to myself?
Starting point is 01:11:06 Exactly. Okay. The only dog I ever owned was called Willie. Dan, Webby, Willie. No, double barrel it. Dan, Webby, Willie. Or Willie, Webby. Willie, Webby's better. Dan, Willie, Webby.
Starting point is 01:11:20 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Solitoration works. Clint, Meg and Dan. We've just come back from two weeks off. Time flies so don't blink twice. And actually we were away yesterday but I wanted to chat about this when you were here because my grandma passed away
Starting point is 01:11:34 over the two weeks we were off and she hasn't been well for a while, she had dementia. And so she was in her home and in a dementia ward so she hasn't been well for a long, long time and it's been difficult, not necessarily for myself as much, but for my mum and her sisters and family. Because if you can imagine, someone with dementia, when you, like this is my mum's mum,
Starting point is 01:11:57 and she literally got to the point where my mum would go and visit her, she'd visit her on a weekly basis, and she literally couldn't recognise her own daughter. Heartbreaking. And I can't fathom, like I could not fathom that happening with my own mum. Like that would break my heart if I went and visited her one day and she looked blankly at me and didn't know who I was. And so I think there'd be a lot of people out there listening right now that are dealing with dementia, whether it be a grandparent, and sometimes it
Starting point is 01:12:22 can happen really young, and it can be your mum or your dad or your sibling. And so it's been a difficult time for my family and I just, over the last six months to a year since my grandma has had dementia, she's had it for three years, but I haven't been to visit her for like six months before she passed away. And it was selfishly because I didn't want to go and see her and then her not recognise me and then, you know, I wanted to remember her what she used to be like. And I wish I'd sort of heard or had someone tell me that doesn't matter, that don't be selfish, go and see the person because she,
Starting point is 01:13:04 even though she didn't remember me, she and see the person because even though she didn't remember me, she still had her physical, you know, she was physically healthy. Yeah. And so I guess this is, I just wish I'd heard someone go, hey Dan, even though she's got dementia, even though you know it is very very difficult for you to go and visit her, go and visit her because you just never know that might be the last time. And it's, yeah, it's just one of those things, like I think if you're listening right now and you've got that person, maybe it's your parent,
Starting point is 01:13:28 maybe it is your sibling that you haven't spoken to, take dementia out of it and you haven't spoken to them in a while. Now in hindsight, knowing that I knew that she was gonna pass away, I would have gone and see her that one last time and just told her how much I loved her and given her a kiss on the forehead.
Starting point is 01:13:44 Because I guess the way you justify the lack of visiting, I would have gone and see her that one last time and just told her how much I loved her and given her a kiss on the forehead. Yeah. Because I guess the way you justify the lack of visiting, because my Nana had Alzheimer's, is that they're like, they're not gonna remember anyway. But it's like, yeah, but in that moment, you're still having that time and that connection and in that moment. Exactly. Even though they're gonna forget it
Starting point is 01:13:59 almost the moment you leave, but that's what your brain tells yourself, right? Yeah. Yeah. But also, like, you can't hang on to any guilt about that. As human beings, we make the best decisions that we can with the information we have at the time. And you're a father and you're working hard and we do, you know, we have to make calls like that for our own mental health and, you know, like our parents and our grandparents love us so much and they understand and I think guilt is a wasted emotion. So
Starting point is 01:14:26 take the good out of it which is share with other people, encourage other people to make the call, don't carry guilt around anymore. And my thoughts do go out to anybody that is dealing with a loved one that's got dementia because it is such a, there's almost nothing worse than going to visit someone and they've lived an amazing life, they've loved and they've just forgotten that. It must be so hard. We often think when it's our grandparents and our parents who think oh well they're older, our parents are older, whatever, but it's like no your mum is always your mum, your dad is always your dad and when you're in
Starting point is 01:14:59 their presence you're always that little person who just wants their mum or their dad to keep them safe and to love them. So it's heartbreaking for our parents. And this is cool from Georgia. She said, my gran has dementia and it's actually nice visiting her because it's like meeting a younger version of her. She still thinks she's in her 20s working and dating my granddad. It is hard but you can find the silver lining sometimes in that.
Starting point is 01:15:19 And I think for them, they don't know any better. So they kind of, they can be in an amazing place within themselves. It's the people around them that it hurts. I love those videos where they, where people will play like songs from when their grandparents were young. And the music like brings them back to that time.
Starting point is 01:15:36 And oh my gosh, makes me cry. Isn't life just a lot? And we're all learning from each other. So it's cool Dan to be able to kind of pass that on to maybe someone who's listening. You know what, it's been a while since I've popped into C-Pop. Maybe that's all it'll take.
Starting point is 01:15:50 Yeah. Just pick up the phone even. Just give them a call. I love it. Yeah. Okay, well. Love you, matey. Love you guys.
Starting point is 01:15:56 Love you, Dan, although I'm gonna start scrapping with you in less than five, because the A-lister list is next. Yeah. Just joking, give you whiplash quite often. It was my grandma's favourite segment. Clint, Megan, Dan. The A-Lister list. So I've got the current A-Lister list as agreed by Clint, Megan, Dan, myself, Ash London and all of you guys, all of you listeners. Currently on our A-List, agreed, certified, Nicole Kidman,
Starting point is 01:16:26 Denzel Washington, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Samuel L Jackson, Reese Witherspoon, Share, Harrison Ford, Jason Statham. That's a good list. I think Jason Statham is the only one that doesn't deserve to be here. Daniel's the Z. The A-list list should be so elite that only like 10 would feature. Well, that's almost, that's gotta be close to 10. Well, maybe we need to start, once it gets to 10 capacity, to add one in,
Starting point is 01:16:55 we've gotta take one out. Oh my god. I like that. Jason could be the first to go. I think there would be like, easily like 100 A-listers in the world. No! No.
Starting point is 01:17:04 Yes. That's a too big of a club. We don't have O Oprah on there, we don't have Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Cristiano Ronaldo. LeBron's not A. Oh shut up Daniel, you're pissing me off. LeBron's A babe. I don't know. Space Jam. I reckon if you ask my mum who LeBron James was or like somebody that's a little bit older.
Starting point is 01:17:21 He's made a good point babe, The older generation need to have an awareness. Yeah. Like Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan, definitely. Everyone knows him. Yeah, Michael Jordan. So maybe give LeBron 10 years. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 01:17:32 If he sticks to us, if he sticks to how good he is now. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so I've got three, and I want to kick it off with something we've already discussed a little bit earlier in the show, because we kind of, there was a bit of contention already about this person. That's right. Oh, Justin Timberlake. So Justin Timberlake
Starting point is 01:17:48 when we were growing up is in NSYNC was kind of an untouchable right? He was the man. Even more of an untouchable behemoth and he was dating Britney Spears and he left NSYNC and he became even bigger as his kind of like superstar. Now the reason he's being discussed is with these A-listers because Dan has a theory that you can pop up into A-list, which I agree, because people have a rising star. But then I disagree that you fall out. Like once you're an A-lister, everyone knows who you are, the world doesn't forget who you are
Starting point is 01:18:15 because you haven't done anything for five years. Because you obviously have done enough to get there in the first place. Yeah, but it begs the question, are A-listers beloved? Because you can have a beloved A-lister who then is a naughty boy or a naughty girl and then, I mean, just because we know who they are, are they still an A-lister? Do they go, oh, they have to come out now?
Starting point is 01:18:35 And I feel like Justin has fallen out of favour a little bit. So would you like a Bill Cosby? Oh, that's a great example. In the 80s, Bill Cosby would have been an A-lister. Yeah. But at some point you have to go... Timberlake's A. All day. Yeah. I think Timberlake, even though his star has fallen, he still scrapes into an A because a lot of, most people know Justin Timberlake music. Good, because you said this about him earlier this morning, so I was gonna absolutely go off if you put him in B Well, like he was the he was a list full a list like probably like Michael Jackson level for a while
Starting point is 01:19:09 Yeah, and then he's just sort of dropped out of there compared him to MJ You can't compare someone to MJ and then put them out of a no, he's a he's delay But he's also had a bit of a fall from grace and very much still in a I don't hear my other two Yes, please. Okay the next one John Travolta It's very much still an A. Do you want to hear my other two? Yes, please. Okay, the next one, John Travolta. Grease, one of the most influential films of all time.
Starting point is 01:19:30 He's A. The world knows John Travolta. Everyone knows John Travolta. Those hips, the hair. Oh, we're getting the, you know the YMCA, we're getting the A part of that song from the producer booth. I think he's a B.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Now then, hear me out. I think to all of us who are in our 30s, yes he's a B. And hear me out. I think to all of us who are in our 30s, yes John Travolta we know him. But to people that are like 19, 20, John Travolta's not known. He hasn't done anything notable for the last 20 years. Yeah but he goes up generations. Like 80 to 30 know who he is. I can name three films he's done. Okay we've got Yazz who does the Four Noises noise workday who's about to chime in on this. Completely
Starting point is 01:20:09 grew a den and I was in Greece I love Greece but John Travolta, Gaff who is that? Yeah yeah John Travolta it needs to be unanimous across the population. No it's not unanimous. Gaff could be the 1% okay we discuss John Travolta next. Who's the third and final one? Okay, now I just want to say first of all, this person's just become the highest-grossing actor of all time. Okay, well then they've got to be A. Scarlett Johansson.
Starting point is 01:20:32 Yep. Yes, shut up, Dandie! Even breathe in, like, your intro. Everyone in a booth is saying A. No, I think she's a great actress, and she's very, very good at what she does, but she's not A-list. She's just not.
Starting point is 01:20:43 She's the queen of Marvel. She's literally done like 10 Marvel films she does, but she's not A-list. She's just not. She's the queen of Marvel. She's literally done like 10 Marvel films. No, I don't know. Her films have grossed like $400 billion. Good on her. And I'm sure she won't be trying that I'm giving her a B. You really don't think Scar Jo. So if you walk down the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Starting point is 01:21:00 and you saw a star for Scarlett, you're like, wow, how'd she get one of those? I think I would know who she is but some people wouldn't. Okay some people wouldn't know who Scarlett Johansson is. Scarlett Johansson and John Travolta are the two discussion points. Look at him, look at him. He's smuggy, standing there pacing around the studio like he's the... I hate for you guys to be teachers. You give away A's willy nilly. Star Joe's an A.
Starting point is 01:21:23 He's so stingy. No I'm not, you have to be stingy. think away A's willy-nilly. Dan is... Saja's an A. He's so stingy. No I'm not, you have to be stingy. A-list is elite. Oh my gosh, he's pointing. Don't you shout at her. Don't you shout at her. Okay, stop swearing because we're back on here. Good neighbours and home. Of the names I get called during the segment. The points of fighting over A-listers still. Okay. Dan Webby, you need to get back in your box. Yeah, sit on your chair and stay there. I won't get back in my box until John Travolta is on the B-list.
Starting point is 01:21:53 He is on the B-list, babe. We didn't put him on the A. Well, there's people disputing it. Yeah. There's lots of people texting through. We haven't decided where officially he sits because I've said A, Dan's gone B, Scarlett Johansson saying I've gone A, Dan's gone B, so the other two names where do they need to go?
Starting point is 01:22:08 Here's the thing with John Travolta and this is my last thing on him. Okay, I bet it is. He's lucky his last name's Travolta because if it was John Smith no one would remember him. And it's pretty much like you taking your wife's name to what could have been. Dan off the air goes name any other movie he's been in in Greece and straight away I went Hairspray, Face Off and Wild Hogs. Wild Hogs is what I went with. And then take a degree over Wild Hogs!
Starting point is 01:22:30 Hairspray, take the barrel with Wild Hogs, man. Still a film. You said one film and I gave you three. I will say that what's the one? Face Off? Face Off, great movie. Nicholas Cage. That is a good movie.
Starting point is 01:22:41 Phenomenal. Still a B-lister though. Scarlett Johansson. He can pilot a 747 though. He can. It's so cool when he does that. Tanya if we can't decide we throw it over to you to make the decision. What are your thoughts? Scarlett, she's an A-lister. She's in the new Jurassic World Rebirth. This is like one of the biggest biggest franchise in the world and she's gonna be all over it. She's like the new Chris Pratt. Absolutely, the female version.
Starting point is 01:23:11 I think if you went to like a country that maybe doesn't get movies or is maybe not a Western country, a lot of people wouldn't know who Scarlett Johansson is. If they don't get movies, they wouldn't know who a lot of the game is. They wouldn't know who Tom Cruise is. Tom Cruise would trans-pass, that's not a word. Transcend movies. Everybody in the world would know who Tom Cruise is. Where Scarlett Johansson is.
Starting point is 01:23:36 That's true, but we don't. It doesn't matter. Because you say Scarlett, hey, what about John? Yes, definitely. John Travolta, John Travolta as well? Yep, absolutely. Okay. Dan has made a good point that John Travolta doesn't have a huge back catalogue,
Starting point is 01:23:53 yet somehow is it just because of Grease? It is good because of Grease. It's because Olivia Newton-John's the same. Yeah. But you say he doesn't transcend all ages anymore. But then my daughter is doing, they're doing like Grease productions and all the rest of it.
Starting point is 01:24:08 So that movie is big enough to transcend all generations. And it still holds up that film. But yet none of the Gen Z's that work here have heard of him. So you know what? Okay Dylan, how old are you mate? I'm 20. Okay, John Travolta, where are we putting him officially?
Starting point is 01:24:24 A or B? Definitely A. Come on, Dill. Dill Dog. Okay. This is one of my few losses in this game. I usually would. Have you seen Grace Dillon?
Starting point is 01:24:36 Oh, of course. Of course. He's also in The Punisher as well. He's in Pop Fiction. Oh, Pop Fiction! He was son or fiction. Oh, pop fiction! Are you his son or something? Yeah. Bloody hell. I held a girl's hand for the first time in Greece.
Starting point is 01:24:51 Oh no, no, I wanted you to know. And by the time I held it, because I was so nervous, we were like three quarters of the way through the film, my hands were so sweaty. Oh, yuck. Yuck. It was yuck. Okay, Dylan, do you want to weigh in on ScarJo?
Starting point is 01:25:00 Even though I think we're moving her to A. Definitely A. Definitely A. Definitely A. I'm trying to question, look at him. Yeah. There was not a hint of questioning in his voice. Mmm. I mean, she is a high-grossing actor.
Starting point is 01:25:11 She's great at what she does. I just don't think she's famous enough to be an A. Everyone's doing the actions and the... The Chicksil Cream! It's the greatest lyric of all time! Everyone's thought about it that way! Actually neither of I'm not a real lyric person. That is like a today I learned. If he wrote that I'm putting him in an A. He's not a real lyric person, that is like a today I learned. Yeah, if he wrote that I'm putting a bit of an A. That's a good honour. Holy shit, you made it the whole way through.
