This is a podcast from Rover. If you've ever sent a risky text and then throw on your phone across the room, you'll fit right in here. This is the Clint Megandandandand podcast. No, no reminder. Clint Megindan with Ash London. The Edge Brecky. Hit Tata in Auckland.

One, two, three. Good morning, six o'clock. Thursday. Still up for grabs. Thank you, Glenn. He had that in news headlines. No one won the 45 mil last night. $55 million.

Are you own drugs? What? What I heard this morning is the jackpot for the next one? So I added 10. Yeah. Because I missed the amount that Glenn just said in news and I was like, why would they add 10? Is that because so many people?

Well, it's how much money people have put into the lotto to buy tickets? Well, that's what someone told me in the kitchen this morning? I said, what's the jackpot? And the lady from news upstairs said 55 million. I'm real that it could jump 10 million in... Yeah, so that's a quarter. So that means 25% more people bought tickets in this draw than the last draw. Do you know what? I didn't after.

I read out all the things more likely to have to have to have to have into you than a lotto? I was like, what am I doing? I did. It's like an idiot. I didn't buy it. Yeah, so no one's won as a single person more than 44 million. Yeah. So 55 million, oh my God. I was standing next to a guy behind, like, behind a guy at the dairy and he was buying his lotto ticket. He spent

$420 on like different tickets and combos and stuff. Wow. I reckon if you're going to win it, you're going to win it. If it's a $10 ticket or a $400 ticket, you know it's your destiny. science to it. It's just luck. Not even luck. It's like whatever's beyond luck. Yeah, it is. But I know those people that have like a proper Excel spreadsheet, using AI to work out what

numbers come up more often than other numbers, but surely the probability of each number is the same. Of course. But then there are numbers that just statistically will come up more. So there are people that actually mathematically are doing the odds more than just clicking a random number. If you can afford $400 on a lot of ticket, you

don't need to win a lot of. You've got enough money. Right. That's crazy. at once I worked with a guy in Australian radio called Dave Hughes and he, this guy's worth millions and millions and millions and millions. He was probably earning $2 million a year. And it was a big lotto. It was like a hundred million dollar lotto. And our station was above a news agency.

And I'm walking to the office and Husey looks and he's like, where are you going? I'm just trying to decide whether I buy a lotto ticket or not. And he reaches into his pocket and he pulls out like a receipt that would have been about a metre long. I was like, what, Hughesy? Like, you're the richest person I know. And he goes, oh, you can never have too much money, Ash.

Wow. He's got like $135 on lotto tickets. I'm like, yeah, but you would have like $10 million in the money. Insurance on a Ferrari. I don't imagine it's cheap. True that. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, oh my gosh.

6am throwback, us versus the playlist, Miss Elliott. Currently in the playlist. She's good. Remember when Gen Z were finding out she's actually here? Singing backwards. Yeah. We're like, we know. Yeah, and they're like, oh my God. And then there was a trend where everyone was trying to like sing in reverse.

And they're like, Missy Elliott did it all those years ago. Yeah. She was the O-G. Yeah. Other options today, Spice Girls. This day in 1999, a report showed that they were the highest earners in pop of the 90s. But I wonder if the girls were the highest earners or is it whoever put the girls together. Like I'd love to know what percentage of the money the girls actually saw.

I reckon they were on a wage. Yeah, because that's what. what I don't think a lot of us realize. They're just being paid to be a part of a group and they're not creaming it, someone else is. Yeah. Julia Michaels' is birthday today. I love her.

She was born in 1993. She's young. Yeah. Would that be old enough? Would that even be 10 years? It'd be close. I'd say maybe 8. Yeah.

I think she also wrote some stuff for Bieber. I want to say she wrote... She's written a lot of songs for Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Fifth Harmony, Sean Mendezes, Britney Spears, Bieber and Gwen Stefani. So she's written a lot of stuff. She's very talented. She wrote Justin Bieber's Sorry.

That's what I just said. Oh, did you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Selena Gomez, lose you. Lose yourself. Yeah, lose you to love me. I don't like that song. I love Selena Gomez.

A very underrated pop artist. She's got some great songs. Yeah. That song, can't keep my hands to myself. Great song. I reckon Missy Elliott's the pick of that lot. Yeah. Honeybone's done it.

I was going to say, you're going to swap out Missy Elliott for Selena Gomes? She's a legend, eh, Missy Elliott? Yeah. Like one of the great. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Good morning. We've just joined us. Morena.

We were just talking about Lotto before, and we need to get blue on the line for first quarrel of the day. Her boss spent $5,000 on a lotto ticket last night. Shut up. $5,000. That's madness to spend that much money to try and make more money. I don't imagine it's their last $5,000 and this is there. And they're like, right.

If you can afford it, you don't need to be, just let someone else win the Lotto tell in. I didn't think the money. it was even possible to spend that much because like I think the most expensive normal ticket is like $18 maybe maybe I'm wrong there but like you'd have to spend like just multiple tickets There's no limit to the ticket price

It's just how many lines you buy I would love to know Imagine being stuck behind him in the line Yeah that's true that Once you get to work babe I'm desperate to know How much your boss won if anything And Mitch has checked through This morning Clinton

He wants a shout out for his birthday from you He said can I get a shout out from Clint Oh, really? I'm going to say, I'm going to say crappy birthday to you, Mitch. Yeah, what have Ash and I just, that he minced me, are we? Mitch Logan, hey? What a bloody good bugger.

He looks, he actually does sound like the type of guy I'd love to smash a couple of points with on Friday. Who wouldn't you smash a couple of pints with? Ash, probably you and I. Yeah, at the moment, you too. Mitch was there, Mitch was there. Mitch is like, oh, I don't want those guys to come. They'll lose it. Mitch would go to get up and I go, hey, hey, mate, what are you doing?

It's your birthday. You sit down, mate. buying the beers today. All right. Say it to him and say it to his face. Happy birthday, Mitch. Thanks, Clint. Appreciate it.

Yeah, you're very welcome, man. You don't want Ash and Dan to... No? Yeah, why not? No, no, stuff you, Mitch, actually? Maybe I have a shit birthday. No, I'll shove up your ass. And nothing's getting Mitch down today, mate.

How old are you turning Mitch if you don't mind sharing your age? I don't care. 27. Oh, you're a child. enough to be nice to us then. Are you celebrating at all, or are you just working? No, I'm not worked right now. What do you do so early in the morning, Mitch?

Dutter analysis. What? What? We choose to start early. Oh, start early, finish early. Yeah. Especially on your birthday. It's what we do.

Yeah. What are you doing for the weekend, anything? Going to the races on Saturday. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He'll come. He likes that sort of stuff. A bit of a pun.

Yeah. Yeah. Any inside tips? Not for me, no. I either go with the one with the most colourful vest, like the jockey with the best colour, like pink and black is generally a goodie. Or the horse with the most...

Pink and black, yeah? Yeah, I mean, I don't know, it's what I'm feeling. So on Saturday, if you have no idea and you go, oh, here's the jockey with the black and pink check. I don't know, Chuck looks sneaky. I think quite often they wear pink and black so you might have multiple options there. Hot tips from Clinton.

I'll look for the pink and black ones. Good on your Metsch and if it's a sunny day and you're on the VE's, make sure you're drinking water too, my love. Absolutely, Ash, thank you. Hey, do you want to double pass to our Mustine Murphy, bro? Oh, yes, sure, why not? Okay, mate, sound cinemas today. The Running Man, it's a director of baby driver

You're welcome, bro. Carl Ains texted through saying, good morning lovelies i listened to the monday only fans yesterday daniel wonderful i cracked up laughing

what was the monday one i wonder oh i would have said something stupid i think that was the one that we had to edit half of it out as always because we as always just went too far yeah oh was that the one where i said some bad things about clint and clint was like oh we can't leave that in we can't see monday what i don't want mitch thinking bad things about it and then he's carried away and then we finished the recording and he's like hey clink can you you can edit all that I'm like, stop saying stuff if you don't want it in the podcast and giving me more work. I think it was one day where I thought we'd stopped recording, and I went on quite a rant. And it was just derogatory slurs towards me?

Was it the 10th on Monday? Definitely, yeah. The podcast's called, oh, okay, she's on, great. God, we're talking to a lot of people this morning. Yeah, why not? Hi, hi-Col away. We're really comfy lunch, yeah. Good morning, me.

What was funny about the Monday podcast? We can't remember the Monday's only fans. Oh, I was Dan and Linda. getting together. Oh, Dan and Linda. Oh, of course. Linda came and talked and read our futures. Oh, God, she's good. She's gorgeous.

Yeah, and Dan and Linda did a few other people. Yeah, well, that's the first time I've actually met her and we've been in the same room, but Linda's a future room. Linda had a new outfit on actually this week, so I'll put it on our edge breakfast on Instagram so everyone can see what she looks like. Yeah, look forward to that. Thank you, Carle. Thank you, Carle and appreciate you.

Love you. Bye. See you, babe. All right, we'll get into Scandal next and then after that we'll do third call of the day, which is one of our benchmark things we always do. For Scandal, do you want a Harry Potter themed one or a Robert Irwin themed one?

Ooh, it's like Sophie's choice. I don't want Harry Potter. Okay, we'll go Harry Potter first. Clint Megan Dan. Let's go! Gossip of entertainment. Clint Megan Dan with Ash London. Scandal.

Well, thanks to Helen Steins. Choose Helen Steins for all your wardrobe needs. online. Oh, they're good. Yeah, well, you guys have Harry Potter fans growing up. Obsessed. Yeah, that checks out.

Oh, I think most millennials were at least read some of the books. No, I only probably have sort of seen bits and pieces because my kids only just recently started watching them. I wasn't allowed to read it because of witchcraft. Christian household. If you haven't read them,

I suggest listening to the audio book Stephen Frye reads them. Yeah, and now they've got the audible doing like a full cast production read. They have all the characters and Kiranile's in it. but everyone's angry at them because J.K. Rowling's transphobic and yada, yada, yada. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, well, I've never read it, and I'm waiting until buddy's old enough because I want it to be something weird as a fano, so cute. But there's Harry Potter and the cursed child, which happens, it's a play that happens 19 years after the events of the finishing of Harry Potter. So it's Draco, Hermione, and Harry's children go to Hogwarts and it follows them.

God, they just keep... How can we keep making money out of us? Why wouldn't you? Sure. So it was, the Broadway show happened, oh, it's been happening, but Tom Felton, who plays the OG Draco Malfoy in a movie. In June, they announced that he would be joining the cast as Draco Malfoy, playing himself, which you can do now because he's older.

He can play Dracom of Malfoy. Well, in the show, the character of Malfoy is older, so they've aged. As I said, it's 19 years on. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he is, like, I don't know, he doesn't look old enough to be, 19 years older, though. He still looks quite young. Harry Potter would have been there long ago, wouldn't it?

Exactly. He was like, what, 14 at the end of Harry Potter. He's got him in his mid-30s. And now he's in his 30s. Yeah, he still looks quite young, though, I think. Oh, okay. Well, anyway, he made his debut down to the Broadway show. And of course, all the craziest, biggest Harry Potter fans got their tickets for his premiere.

So this is him walking out on stage in the reaction. So he's just standing on stage at this point. They're still clapping. He's holding character, standing there, looking stern, trying not to, you know, to wait for them to finish. So this is mid-show. It's not the end of the first day or anything. No, no, he's just walked onto the stage for the first time.

Nightmare. And now he says he's lying. I think I'm okay, Mac. I need a favour. Isn't that so cool? It is cool. I wonder if that's going to happen every night because when people see him.

Because, you know, he's obviously supposed to come out and say the line straight away, but he can't get it out because there's too many clapping. That might be a thing, because this happens in a lot of this Broadway and Western shows with the audience learn a thing that they do. It might be that they clap for him. 24 years ago, the first Harry Potter movie came out.

Wow. Four years. Crazy. So it'd have to be late 30s. Yeah, it'd have to be. He's aged very well. Yeah. Well, if he was 14, you'd be pushing almost 40 now.

Yeah. It's crazy. Isn't that absolutely crazy? These kids, I say kids, like Emma Watson, Harry Potter, what's his name? Yeah, they're like frozen in time in our minds at that age, right? Absolutely. So cool. Except for maybe Emma, because she's still done, she's still doing stuff, right?

Emma Watson still looks 12. Yeah. She literally has an age. She's been calling out J.K. Rowling a bit lately, eh? Have you seen that? Emma, what she said was, she said it's okay, what was the exact, because she's, because the, I don't want to say woke, that's such a lame word, but like people thought Emma didn't go far enough

because she said we need to learn to like hold, to still, so be friends with or be able to be in a room with, have a conversation with people whose views discussed us. And that's like, I think fear. Absolutely. Yeah. Everybody's entitled to an opinion. Absolutely.

Yeah, but... That's a, well, an interesting or mature take of... Oh, she's stuck in a rock, between rock and a hard place because... Absolutely. Her future, like, her career is, like, built on J.K. Rowling's books and all the rest of that.

But it doesn't mean that just because someone gave you a start means you have to agree with everything that they believe. And Harry Putter means so much for so many people. Do we want to sally those beautiful experiences just because the person who wrote it believes things that you find abhorrent? Exactly. You know, we need to be.

But then it's like, well, I don't listen to Michael Jackson. We don't play Michael Jackson on the radio anymore. Is that any different? And where's the line of... Where's the line? I don't know. Because I'm sure when we cut it up, we'll go, hold on, we've got a few double standards here. Yeah, exactly.

Lord of the Rings is the same. I think Tolkien had some views, didn't he? Yeah, I don't know. So I think, you know, hey. Hey. Look at the text itself for what it is. Just enjoy the arts. All right, third call of the day next.

It's normally first, but Caitlin and both Mitch have beaten you to it this morning, but we'll still saw you have a free coffee for the week. O-800, if you want to jump on. the show. On your Friday Eve, nice and early. Sun's starting to come up. Beautiful day. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. First call of the day. First call of the day. It's actually the third.

Yeah, we've got to be excited, didn't we? Got a car lane. Yeah, it's been fun actually. Everybody's been having a bit of a laugh this morning, ever they? Including Nicky who's called through for the third quarter of the day. Morning, Neco. Hi. How are you, mate? I'm good.

And whereabouts in Altero? Do you live my sweat? Christchurch. Christchurch. God. I went for the first time a couple weeks ago. I'm sure you've heard me crap on about it. I'm obsessed with your town. So beautiful. Have you always lived there, Nikki, or did you cruise through? And then you go, I'm going to move here

one day. I actually live in Fernside, which is out near Roaring Europe, but it's easier to say Christchurch because that's where I work. When I arrived to the airport, we drove into town, just before you get to Hugley Park, where they're like the river, And there's those, I don't know if you guys saw this,

the boogiest houses you've ever seen in your... I'm talking like grand designs, James Bond houses. Yeah. Oh! Yeah, Bindleton. Right, yeah, that's it, babe. I was like, is that where Simon Barnett lives? Like, I just want to, like...

I just... Oh, heaven, anyway. It's a beautiful part of the country. The thing I notice whenever I go to Christchurch is there's a lot of flash cars in Christchurch. Do you notice that, like, lots of people drive around in like BMWs, Audi's,

Tesla's, that sort of stuff. Yep, they do. You've got a couple of cats too. How many cats before you become crazy cat lady, do you think? I think I'm crazy at two. Crazy at two? Yeah, I think anything more than one,

you're a bit crazy. Really? And it's good that you admit it, Nicky. Are they friends, though? Well, they drove me crazy. Yeah. Oh, they're the reason. Yeah, I think having, like, a mate for a pet,

like a companion's fine. Once you start going odd numbers, and you start going three plus, I reckon for me as crazy cat lady. Three or three. Three or more is a bit like, oh, she loves cats. And dogs, though, same. Yeah, true. In fact, I would say, go with me, guys. Two cats, normal.

Two dogs, be weird. What about two cats and two dogs? You've got a farm. You've got a menagerie. Yeah. But then you get those people being like, oh, look at bloody, rusty. He's so lonely by himself. And then they get him another dog so they've at least got someone to play with.

Yeah, I'm more along the lines of if you've got two cats, you're crazy. you. And no offence, Nikki. You are. As the guy who like, you know, breathes into his cat's face. I know, no, he breathes into my mouth. Get it right. It's less weird. Hey, yeah, we're going to sue you out of the voucher to go spend in store at Zed, Nicky.

So you can get amongst it, you can get amongst their new ultimate pork belly with whole-grain mustard pie. What's in it? What's in it? Pork belly, whole-grained mustard. That's not the jalapeno one, is it, though? No, but you can still get amongst that. I want the jalapeno one from last. week.

Yeah. Anyway, you do you, Nikki. Thanks for calling, Nikki. It's really nice to chat to you. Awesome. Thank you. I want to go back to Christchurch and have that smoky teas barbecue.

Guys, it was mashed potato, brisket and gravy. We'll be back there in Fibb. Yeah, we're going for a little bit of. I looked up accommodation yesterday. I left a bit late. Oh, no. It's like $6,000 for an apartment for three days.

Christchurch fully comes alive on that week. And it'll come around real quick, too, summer just disappears, right? Especially when you're on holiday. So before you know, you're back at work and then all of a sudden it's paper and we're off. Last time we were there for Electric Avenue, it was like literally everybody in Christchurch was going.

Like you'd walk around and they'd be like, see you at Electric Ave. It's like, is everybody here going? If anyone wants to take care of my child, by the way, because I'm not taking buddy. Yeah, if you didn't have a ticket in you're in Christchurchase. It's like, the bars must be empty. Yeah, maybe it's nice. Maybe there's no line at Smoky Tees Barbecue.

Probably will be that weekend. Noighty-six, 40 is up next. We talk high school nicknames, how one girl got hers. Very unique. Yeah, this one, and this one feature, it's a story told by a very famous actor. Yeah, we'll get it up for you next. Clint Megan Dan, Spinky Boo. And if you want to get your hands on a free double pass with Edmyss,

that'll be happening, that's 735 this morning if you want to go for free. So Miles Teller, who's famous actors in Top Gun and other things, was on the Theo Vons podcast, talking about a girl that he went to high school with, and this is an actual condition that we looked up and we all became pretty obsessed with where a woman can have two reproductive systems. Reproductive systems.

Yeah, so like two entrances, like close together, but then two uteri, one on each side, and each uterus is connected to its own fallopian tube and ovary. Wow, that had like so many questions about that. Right? You'd be your dream, wouldn't it? No, God. You'd have a lot more chance of finding it.

No. Are there two of them? Two clitorises? I don't know. Maybe it would improve by chances. But it's also, I deep dive this condition. It can mean that you have two periods. Sometimes they're syncs, sometimes they're not.

Oh, that'd be a knot. I mean, I want to speak on behalf, but would you rather have one very heavy flow or two separate ones that aren't as bad? It's nice of you to think about the woman's comfort. You know? One of the biggest questions in life, Clint, they've always asked. Because then you've got one every two weeks instead of every month. But one of the thing that's cool about it is that this girl embraced it,

and named it was Cheryl. She embraced the condition and came up with a nickname for herself. Double, and I just said with the American accent, or it doesn't rhyme. Double barrel Cheryl. Wow. What a legend. Do you reckon she was lying in bed one night? She was like, I've got it.

You've got to own it, I guess? You have to own it, totally. You'd have to. The only reason anyone would know that you've got to is because you're telling people, right? Exactly. True, yeah, because I can't imagine if she's fully clothed you'd ever even know. And often people with this condition don't find out for years and years and years. And it's like they go and get a pelvic exam or something and the doctor tells them when they're like 30 and they're like, they just thought it was normal because that's their body.

Totally. So it's crazy. So yeah, high school nicknames, even funny and let's be much better when the person, when you own it and you kind of. Yeah, I mean, even if maybe you didn't own it at the time and you're looking back now, okay, yeah, okay, whatever. It doesn't hurt as much as maybe it did in high school. I think the ratio of self-given nicknames to ones that you've been given by other people. I think it's usually given to you by other people at high school, right? Normally self-given nicknames are pretty cringe. Remember when Meg wanted us to call her Ziggy?

That's right. She wanted her nickname to be Ziggy and had no real reason. There's no reason. She just liked it. So she's Ziggy in my phone, but I'm the only one that calls her Ziggy. I tried to get Danimal to take off. Danimal? I don't really, I don't really fit the mould.

I wish I had a cool nickname. Yeah. We're getting so many texts come through already on 3, 3, 4, 3 people sharing their awesome, hilarious nicknames. Last name's Randall, and I play football and always have. And so I used to get called Randildo a lot. Yeah, that's cute. What's the... I don't know, because deltos, people just think that's funny.

Yeah. Putting a 6-2 in your last name, I guess. Gary's 6-3 used to be called Gary the snail. I'd love to know why. Yeah. Gary, more information is. Clint, do you know about yours since you got your hair bleached? Nah.

Clorian Clint? Yeah, people look saying that behind his back though Yeah, we changed the chlorine cland after Ken from Wish Yeah, yeah, yeah There's heaps of people that had nicknames Someone's called mayonnaise Yeah, because her name's Vanessa May, May, May, May, May Nays I can't get that

And I love mayonnaise Yes, oh yeah, thank you Hayden I was pimping Clinton as well for a while Self-made Yeah, that was when you had to come up with a hot mail Like email address and everyone would come up With like cool ones and I was like Right, I'm pimping

Clinton at Hotmail.com. Meanwhile, I've never seen a pair of boobs. Probably not. Right now, though, we're talking high school nicknames. What was yours? What have you got? Yeah, there's a few coming through. I mean, I always remember fondly, and she's texted her again this morning.

Shelly Cole, who got the unfortunate nickname Smalley Hole at high school. I've got the moment, actually, that's bent Dan over. In fact, we lost them for the rest of the break. Go on, go on, Shelley Cole's text through. People used to call her Smelly Hole. Oh, Shelley, you poor girl. Poor Shelley. This is why we have Vanessa who has work.

Okay. We got her on after that, thing? God, she was awesome. Vanessa is called through. Vanessa, what was your nickname at high school? Hey, mate. So mine, I had two. Since my full name is like Vanessa May, hyphenated,

they came up with one going mayonnaise. I love it. Yeah. It's not even clever. And then the other one. I think it is. But then the other one was May-May, and I'm like, okay. So it's just like it grew on.

The mayonnaise started in primary, and then since we all went to the same high school in the need, and I'm like at such a small town. So everyone all went to the same high school, then it just clicked on. You carried it either. Are people still calling you May-May or mayonnaise? My family's calling me May-May, but no one else is.

One of those ones where people go, why do the people go? And you're like, oh, how long have you got? Because you've got to go back through all the steps. True. Yeah. Oh, well, at least it's not too derogatory. And everybody loves mayonnaise, Kupi mayonnaise

But it's the ratchers thrown in it You'd be loving life Anything better in life? Come on. Mariana was Mariani's Mariana Mariana Mariendes

Someone else had a boss called Diligif Does it look like a give a F Because they went on to say That he always made you do things The hard way Instead of the easy way That was the easy way that everyone knew how

That was behind his back Yeah Um old jellywhackers joined us on the line Morning jellywacker Jay What's that about, bro? How did you get that?

Oh, there's an ice block that came out a wall back called Jelly Wacker which was a normal plops of cool with jelly in the middle. The description on the back said Have you known somebody who looks hard on the outside

but it's a big softier in the middle? Oh So my mate thought that was me called me Jelly Wacker. That's a nice year. That's really nice. Good on you. I love you, Tim.

That's actually a really wholesome story and not the way I reckon people would guess if they had to work out your nickname. They should bring back the jellywack, I don't remember it. Yeah, no, they're bloody good. Yeah, I bet they are. I just don't think it's going to get any better

than Christy Moncrief's nickname. Who wants to read that one out? Grub nuts. Christy Moncrief. Anyone have the guts to read that one out on it? Krusty Kweef. Yeah. Oh, jeepers. Yep.

You'd really just have to get on board with that, wouldn't you? You'd really have to just go, yep. Plastic weave, that's me. Imagine when you're like grandma asked you, she's like, why are they calling you that, how do you have to explain it? What about you, Darren? Why do people call you Shrek?

A few years ago, I went to the Wild Foods Festival dressed as the Incredible Hulk, and I had my wig stolen halfway through the day. And then I was bald, so underneath I just looked like Shrek and everyone's been ready to swim. That shit really That is the best story I've ever heard I love it so much

All thanks to Novice Glass, proud partner of the Special Olympics, NZ. Clint Megan Dan. We have a special guest in studio with us this morning. A lease runs a company called Compatico. And your mission lease is to set singles up, specifically those 30 plus. Yeah, totally.

So how it works is if you want to join, you go to the website and you apply. Yeah. And then we do a police check on everyone. So, like, no one can lie about their age, no one can lie about their dodgy past. And then we have a video interview with everyone and ask them a bunch of questions about themselves, get their vibe. We write their profile for them. And then they go live in the system.

But we know exactly what every single person is like because there's just so much that doesn't translate on a piece of paper. And then every week, as we're going through our system, we're looking at, okay, who's compatible? Who do we think would have a good time just going out for a coffee together? This is my dream job. This is great. Yeah, I mean, what is the state of the dating world at the moment? Because we did see a story the other day

where the online dating apps that have been kind of traditionally popular in the last decade, I guess. I met my wife on Bumble. They've kind of dropped off a little bit in the last couple of years. It's a real wasteland out there. The average man has to swipe right

a thousand times to get a single coffee date. So that's exhausting. Yeah. That's a lot of swiping, isn't it? 20% of the guys get 80% of all the action. No, that would have been Dan when he was on it. Well, because the problem is, is, I mean, apps are just so much work. But also, people aren't dating in real life anymore.

A lot of the people who join Compatico are 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s. So some of them might have come out of long relationships or marriages. And when they used to date, you could go out to a bar and chat someone up and potentially end up together. But now if you approach someone at a bar, it's seen as creepy, or like, I hate that. I know. Because that's what we're talking about.

Well, like, isn't it, as a woman, I think I'd be really touched. Like, or like, if it was done in a, like, respectful way. That's the key, right? Even if I'm married and I'm sorry, I'm married, that's going to make my week. If a guy just says, you're gorgeous, can I introduce myself or whatever. Totally. But there's such a cancel culture online, and I think there's quite an unhelpful culture of people calling out others on social media for being creepy.

And so it's, you know, women want to be a pro. but then it's guys don't feel safe to approach and so it's so hard. Do you see a trend of where people are going wrong? I would say that with guys, it's more about getting to the second date or how they act on the first. So often the big one is not asking enough questions about the person that they're dating. Like you have to be interested and often I'll chat to women and they'll be like, I felt like I was interrogating the guy asking all these questions about himself, getting closed answers and then he asked me nothing about me.

so why would I think he's interested? So do you have to do a bit of coaching as well? Yeah, big time, big time. So sometimes we'll get the feedback and someone about they didn't ask enough questions or they took days to get back to me after the date and it's like, hey, if you had a good time, tell them that evening.

Because normally we go on a day, we have no idea what we did wrong, whereas in this situation, if they don't get a second date, you'll go, well, the feedback we got was, that's really great. That's the reason why I choose this overbumble because you don't get that right.

Are our standards too high or too low in general? I would say standards are pretty high, And, like, for good reason, often, like, nobody needs a partner in the traditional sense anymore. Like, everyone's independent, got great jobs, like very fulfilled, quite self-aware, so that's great. But that can mean that people's expectations are really, really high, or they focus on the wrong things. So they're, like, really obsessed about what height someone needs to be, for instance, or things that have nothing to do with people's character. They don't give people a chance because they, like, shut them out before they've even had a chance to prove themselves wrong. If you're an expert for dating over 30s,

what is the hardest age do you think to start again and start dating? 60s is pretty tough because in terms of statistics, there are more women than men. So 60s can be really hard. And also by that time, you've got a really established life. You've got a lot of assets. And you kind of, you know what you like and you're sort of settled. So you need to find someone who aligns a little bit more.

Elise, who is an expert when he comes to dating over 30? She's got a website called Compatico that you can go and check it out if you're done with Tinder. Elise, what would your advice be to someone that's maybe been out of the dating world for a while or has never got into it in the first place? That is where Compatico is really good

because people can come on and they have a conversation with us first and especially for men. For instance, our whole team is women at the moment. And so often we can be potentially the first positive reaction that some men have had with women in quite a vulnerable sense.

So we can kind of build that trust and relationship and build a bit of confidence and to get people back out there. The other thing that I would say to people before they get into the dating game is to really do a bit of work on yourself and look after yourself. Like you need to be really comfortable and happy with who you are because dating is brutal. It's hard. You are putting yourself out there and you can get hurt. But if you know at the end of the day I'm a good person and I like who I am, that gives you such a better ability to. to ride out the waves. That's so true.

Such good advice to anyone that's single. So, Lisa, in your line of work, what do you think most guys are looking for and want? And what do you think most girls are looking for and want? Most guys, it varies age to age. So 30s and sometimes 40s, guys are wanting someone who's generally active, driven, motivated, and either wants to start a family

or doesn't want to start a family, depending on the person. Woman in that bracket, often it's, I just want someone who is as driven as I am. Gotcha. it comes to the older age brackets. The big thing that comes up is health and fitness. People, generally the people who come to us are quite active, motivated people. And especially once you're in 50s, 60s, you can be a super young 60 or like an old 60.

And so you make someone that I'm going to be healthy for the next 30 years, I need someone. Or you can be like, I'm winding down. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So you want someone who's on that vibe. And then a big thing that comes up across the board is people having, their stuff together financially because people are like, I don't want to carry someone. I want someone to like me for me. And that's the unspoken thing I guess about dating as well, especially when you're a little

bit older maybe in your 30s or early 40s. Because you said before, like you're established in your life, you'd have assets, you have savings and stuff. You'd maybe meet some people that have got the wrong intentions, like they're looking at you to be a sugar mama or a sugar daddy. So you're wanting to try and avoid that, right? That's why I can't date now, you know. One way for my mullah.

Either that or your body, one or the other. She just never knows what it is. There's too many reasons why people can be into action. Must be very nice. Hey Elise, thank you so much. It's actually really fascinating to someone who's an expert, has done all the data, has done the research. How's your relationship going, by the way?

Yeah, really, really good. I fell in love with my flatmate after years of dating. Because I, at one point, don't anymore, had a six-pack, and I thought I needed to date someone with a six-pack. And then I dated a lot of people with six-packs and they didn't make me feel that great. So then I date someone now who is super smart, super driven and plays Dungeons and Dragons.

But I also get him to do marathons with me. So I've dragged him into that. That's great. True. Love it. Don't you, darling. Thanks for coming in. Thank you.

Clint Meg and Dan. Gats up in entertainment. Clit megan Dan with Ash London. Scandal. So next year, Dita Fontys who, I think people in their 30s and 40s will probably know. so she was married. A lot of people know her as someone that was married to Marilyn Manson

a couple, like many, many moons ago. But the most famous burlesque dancer in the world, people like Taylor Swift call her an inspiration, the goat, et cetera, et cetera. So the show is called noctur, knock, I'm going to translate with a French accent because it's spelled in French. Nocturnal, which I presume means nocturnal.

Right. She's bringing it next August to Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. And I had the chance to, for our FaceTime with her yesterday. Now, I've watched the, architectural digest of her home, guys, it is like out of control. The colours, wallpapers, she's into taxidermy, so there's like stuffed animals everywhere. There's a leopard in her living room. Because there's a fine line of taxidermy from getting a little bit creepy.

She makes it kind of sexy. Yeah, cool. And she's got a shoe room, which I think would probably have over 1,000 pairs of high-heeled shoes all, like, arranged on. Like, she's absolutely amazing. So back on the leopard, diet of natural courses, obviously. I'm sure, I hope. Or maybe it's... Old age, Clinton was old age. Old lippard.

Yeah, it's one of the oldest leopards. Normally counted spots, it's how you can tell. So I've got two little grabs of our chat that I want to talk to you about. The first is about the fact that I mentioned that I was about to chat to Dita to a couple of the youngans in the office, girls in their 20s and they were like, oh my God, Dita, she's the goat. And so we talked about the fact that even in her 50s, she's still inspiring a new generation of women.

But it shows me the value of having female fans, number one. like how great is that you know it's like if i were a burlese dancer in 1940s i would have like hetero male friend and they would be they'd be over me like 25 years ago so um i think i'm very lucky to have a career that's a lot of female fans and a lot of queer fans and that like allows me to evolve you know i and also i just keep evolving my career and wanting to like see what what's the next level i can take it to and what i what other kind of themes i can have for my tours what else i can learn like magic tricks what can I learn and bring it to the burlesque stage so Dan's very excited less about the burlesque and the stripping and more about the magic magic I know magic but I guess when

you mix it with the what she does yeah that's something for everybody right and I wanted to find out about this magic thing because I don't know magic sounds like the kind of thing like how do you just like all of a sudden become a magician will she had a great answer I've been working with maybe like four or five magicians I know a lot of magicians like I've had a lot of friends who are a magicians. I'm friends with the owners and the founders of the magic castle, which is like Magic Mecca. If you've ever heard of this place, it's like a magic club that is like every famous magician has performed at. And also I'm a Vegas headliner. So there's a lot of magic there that I've become friends with as well. So I'm very lucky to have been coached by some of the

best people in the world and taught some of their signature tricks. Cool, huh? Such an art to magic as well. Some of the best magicians are like full artists. You to nail it. Yeah. We talked about hacks. because I don't know if you've seen Hax, but it's set in Vegas? And I was like, is it anything like hacks, like living and working Vegas, thinking that she'd be like, no, it's totally different. She's like, no, it's pretty bang on that. I was like, that is so cool. Wow.

So the show's coming next year, Antikers Rancel now through T.G. Dainty. She sounds cool. She was so cool. I would definitely want to see the show. And it's not like, it's very classy. It's very artistic. It's incredible. So it's, yeah, not what you might think it is.

Hey, but. Clint. Megan, Dan. 2 plus 2 is 4, minus 1,000. Redmats. Edmaths, all right. Ed does love a bit of an equation. I mean, he named his first five albums

after mathematical symbols. Yep. So we thought, all right, let's do a little bit of Edmaths, and if you can work out the equation, you will go for free. If you can't, that's okay. You can't be good at everything.

It's okay. We've got lots of people on the line in order. So we're going to start with one person. If they don't get it right, we're going to keep going to someone can correctly answer the mathematical equation, the Edmath. Erin, you were first through. So are you ready? Have you got your calculator ready?

Morning, yep. We're good to go. Okay, good luck. Here we go. Okay, if Ed's, Ed Sherry would have bought a lotto ticket here on New Zealand, he'd probably used the birthdays of his family. He's quite a common way to pick numbers. Ket. What number, though, would he get if he added all four birthdays together of him, his wife and his two daughters?

He's born on the 17th of Heb. His wife is born on the 6th of May. Lyra is born on the 31st of August and Jupiter is born on the 19th of May What number do we give if we add all those birthdays together? Erin Quick quick, quick Aaron Is it 73?

Just like that, Erin. Incredible. Now, did we do that all with our head? What a bit? Yeah, you're nervous, yes. I got 83. I got that wrong when it was paper and pen.

I got 61, so God knows where I was wrong. What a nightmare. I carried a three. I was meant to carry a two. Oh, well. Yeah, well, congratulations. Erin, you will be there when Ed Sharon is here

doing one of his five shows in January. Thank you so much. Hey, welcome. It's a bloody good show. Yeah, it is a good show. So good. He does put on. Like, he works so hard on that stage.

No one works harder. He hasn't got a band carrying him. He's doing the most. The biggest drop ball was that I took my daughter to her first ever concert and it was Ed Sheeran. Bar was fairly high for any other gigs she went to after that.

Oh yeah. The bar said high, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. So he's going to be here. And Jan, if you want to go, just listen out for Edmacks. We'll play it again tomorrow. Hit the spot. We haven't done it in a few days, a few weeks, really.

Last one we did was Queen Bohemian Rhapsody. That was so big that we all, everyone needed to rest up. And we just said, right, we're scaling it back. We're going to take it right back to basics. Yeah. To a certain degree. Oh, great. I've got an idea next.

Okay. Dan, you can pitch it to us. So we're scaling it back, though, right? Sort of. Doesn't sound like that. Clint, Megan, Dan. Here we go again. Hit it.

Hit it, get it, funky. Hit it. Hit it. All right. Apologies, if you are an OG listener of the show, and you know exactly what hit the spot is. But for those who are new to the show, we'd love to just sing along with one of our favorite tunes,

drop the music. archipella, probably about 30 seconds of it, and then try to come back right at the crescendo and see if we're still in time. We've been ramping things up over the last couple of months, though. I think it all started when we did Ray. One of the quickest raps in the game. But now when it comes on the radio, I'm like, that's so easy

because it's like part, it's like in our soul now. So we did our individual bits, and then right of the end, we all came together. This man is testing me. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Help me, help me, help me. Look, I need you to tell me, baby. It feels good.

It feels so good. It's like a drug. Remember then there was the Backstreet Boys and there was that giant gap before the crescendo and the chorus came back in? As long as there'll be music, we'll be coming back again. There's the gap.

Gosh. 10, 10, 10, 10, 10. Everybody is Absolutely unbelievable. And you think you just couldn't go up from there. And we decided to just chill it. Oh no, we did one more today. No, we did Queen.

How have you forgotten Queen? We did literally like a medley. It was, Queen doesn't even do the part that we did live on stage. And we attempted it. Oh, and we were like, it ain't getting better than this. We didn't think we'd do it. No. There's no way we thought we'd pull this off.

Mamma Mia, Mama Mia. Mama Mia, let me go. Be as a devil put aside for me. For me. Here we go. Five, six, seven, eight. I think that is the best moment of my career. When my grandkids asked me what was the highlight of your radio career,

I will go, when we hit, hit the spot with Bohemian Rhapsody. It's like, it felt like the magic radio gods shone upon us because there was just no way we should have pulled that off. It's just a snippet too, obviously. Like the lead in was about 40 seconds more than that. And now the radio gods are going, don't push your luck. Yes. Don't try and beat Bohemian Rhapsody.

Don't do it. But I'm going, shut up, Radio Gods. You don't exist. Oh, whoa, whoa, don't hang on the Radio Gods. Literally radio ratings this week. Yeah, don't know the ratings come out on late next week. I'll keep praying to you. Okay.

I mean, now, now I know. I have come up with an idea that will beat Bohemian Rhapsody. It'll beat Backstreet Boys. Ray, never heard of her. Can I just say something? I've got a feeling I know where this is. going and if it's going where I think it's going you need to sit down and take a long hard look at your life because overconfident is there something to do with wow I'm going to stop

you there oh I will say this the radio gods the radio gods are calling they're like don't do it dad I will say this I've dummied up a little bit of audio okay which I'm going to play to you next but Carl our producer I'm wanting to know from you this time next week, can you source for me a choir, a cherry picker or crane? Oh, hang on, can I answer the choir question first? No, I just need a yes or no for these three items. A choir, a cherry picker and a crane

and some green skin paint. I knew it! I knew it! It's bloody wicked, isn't it? I have got some audio next, which I've dumbied up. I'm going to try and attempt it next week. You can't do it. You can't do it. I thought we were scaling it back. You've gone too far.

We can scale it back after this. Because the only thing is we've been hitting it and hitting it and hitting it and then I reckon you're going to go one too many and you're going to be that guy that leaves the casino when you were 10 grand up and you've got nothing. We've been hitting it yes and it's shaky on its feet. Let's hit it one more time and knock at them out. You're absolutely all in if you're doing what I think you're doing.

Produce Carl. Like the choir, yeah, the green face paint. I can't work out the cherry picker, though. I know this. I know the, I know. The cherry pick is only because I'm in musical theatre nerd. I know. How many people do you need to have a choir?

I'll explain more next. I've got a bit of audio, which I'm going to play you, and how I want it to sound. Clint, just play a song. What's the choir? Four, five? I'm imagining 20. Twenty. Hit it.

Hit it. Hit it's fucking. He heard this fuck. Whoa. All right, it's one of our favorite segments. We will sing along to a song, ditch the music, and try and keep the timing, and come right back at the crescendo moment.

And I've got an idea for next week. It's the release week of Wicked For Good, the second of the two movies in the Wicked franchise. Don't we know it? It's been rumoured to be the biggest movie of the year, if not the last decade. The reviews are out, all five stars so far. Yeah.

Okay. They're saying one of the greatest films ever made. I pitch. Next week, we get a choir in studio. By where you mean producer Carl? Producer Carl, he's very good at this sort of stuff. Okay, he sources a choir. Some green skin paint for me.

I'm going to dress up as a witch. That's Alphabet, not just A witch, the witch. And we do Defying Gravity, the final song of Wicked. Why do you need the cherry-picker? Because, oh, he doesn't know. Elfima, the witch flies up into the stage show. It's like he flies for the very first time. It's when she first gets the broomstick

and they're chasing her and she finally finds her power grabs the broomstick and at intermission of the stage it ends with her in the sky doing that she's not on a cherry picker though because you can't fly

suspend him from the roof couldn't we couldn't we come why is he here why is it so negative no I'm thinking couldn't we have you in a harness and we have you hooked up to a cherry picker and then but so we're like like, and we lift you up in the air.

Otherwise, cherry pick, I think, cheapens it. Okay, well, look, I'll leave the harnessing and all the logistics to you. Okay, so I'm just going to call my daughter and say I'm not going to have time for her this weekend. Was it a cherry picket you say? No, whatever you could do. Yeah, like on stage where they pull the ropes and the pulleys

and then they lift up off the ground. That'd be cool. A pulley system, okay? One pulley system, done. And here's the thing, you're going to need to pitch it to the choir so they know what bits they need to do, right? I have managed to put a little demo together that you can send out to perspective of choirs.

This is great. And just to clarify, does the choir have to levitate as well or is that just you? I mean, if you can do that, great. I think we're pushing her like, I got a bad feeling about this. We're being like hitting, hitting, hitting,

and it just feels like you're going to go to all this effort. You're going to get carried away in the outfit and the lifting up off the ground and the essence of what hit the spot is is being in time, we'll get missed. And then people will be like, he just got too big for his boots. Yeah, you're that.

but if I do miss the spot I'll be flying and people will be like oh I forgot about the hitting this spot he's levitating okay all right what are you got okay so I'm going to play you down the thing you're going to hear me singing the bits okay but you're also going to hear me singing

the choir bit okay how do you know we just went it's quite a narcissistic demo okay so producer Carl the quiet bits obviously you need to source here we go this is what it'll sound like what this time next week so this is where it starts

okay comes in here That's not dancing. No, that's in theory. I come in here and we turn the music down. Nobody. In all of Oz, no wizard that there is or was

is ever gonna bring me down. I hope you're happy. Look at her, she's, we can kill her. Bring me do. So we have. to bring her... Hit the spot. Down.

We celebrate. I'm down. The quiet and come down. Amen. It's the best moment in radio history. The radio gods come down and lift me up. We're now. It's a moment for the books.

Wow. Wow. Oh, man, now. Gee, that was a grande sees it online. She shares it on her personal Instagram. That was a real gee up with the choir, actually. The choir is the number one priority out of the three things you're sorting Carl and he's like. Oh, for fun.

Yeah. I do it is my copy. Well, you know what, Dan? Reach for the sky. And if you fail, at least you get the moon, or whatever that's saying. You land among the stars. Which astronomically doesn't make sense because the moon's actually closer than the stars. Reach for this moon.

And you might land among the sky. Stars, there you go. So the United States of Carl as well as sorting out all that stuff, email health and safety, because they're going to get all up in our grill about it because I'm on a cherry picker. Okay, well, the edge breakfast with Dan Dan, Dan and Dan. Featuring Dan.

Oh, you saw the email I sent to the bosses. There's a bit more of a pitch, that one. All right, a week from so this time next week. This time next week, Clint. So Carl, you've got a week. Thanks, mate. Appreciate it. I can help if you want.

Nah, you won't. I know you. Thank God he said no. I mean, a great suggestion has come. through. Why don't you do it off the sky jump at the sky tower? Hayden, we're trying to tone it back, bud. So then you're like to do the crescendo

and then jump off the sky tower? Yeah, we're scaling it back. Hashtagascar back. Carl wants to see his daughter at least once in the next week. Clip Nick and Dan. The Edge. 1K.E.Z. Practice makes perfect. And now you can play any time online.

If you have a secret you've been sitting on that no one knows about, we'd love for you to get it off your chest by jumping into the truth booth and letting us know what's going on. That's exactly what Sophie, fake name is done. She's on the voice disguised. A morning, Sof. Morena, guys, moreena. I love the nervous energy that everyone brings to the truth breath. Okay. You're in a safe space? The voice is disguised. No one will know. What's going on, Sof, we hear it's the realm of dating. Yeah, this is a really awkward story. So I'll get a bit of context. My dad unfortunately passed away six years ago and my mom has only just finally started

dating again and we've never met anyone that she's like dated, she's been on a couple but she brought this new guy to a family dinner and as soon as he walked in, my stomach dropped to the ground because I actually already knew him. Oh my God. First of all, I'm so sorry that your dad passed. How do you feel firstly about your mum dating again? Oh, I'm so happy for her. All I want is for her to be happy and, you know, find someone else that makes her happier as well. That's so cool.

Something makes me think, though, that this particular meeting wasn't the happiest for you. Yeah, super awkward. Okay, so when they saw you, did they have a similar sort of freak out moment? Or did they have no idea? He definitely knows who I am. as well.

Okay, so you both know each other. Okay, the first thing I would do in this situation, I'd be telling my brother. I'd be like, yo, Bev, guess what? Does anyone else know in the family, any of our siblings that you have confided in? No, I haven't told anyone. And honestly, I just don't even know what to do.

Like, it's actually making me feel a bit sick. And your mum and this person are still together I'm gathering? Yeah, well, she brought him over for the first time to a family dinner the other night. Oh, wow. So it's fresh. This is a fresh story. ready to like introduce her new partner to the kids so it must be like pretty serious

yeah okay do we hear the I can I don't want it to be what I think it is though okay so I think we might all suspect what it might be but Sophie fake name what is your truth bomb babe okay so about a year ago is before he even met my mum me and this guy were bed buddies That is so unfortunate. Oh, my God. I mean, we're all thinking it.

Yeah, but I was just hoping I was wrong. I was like, nah, maybe not, maybe not. Okay. Oh, God. So hold there, so many questions. If you want to weigh in on this, 3343. There's already people texting in with questions. Oh, yeah, I bet.

The Truth Booth. With Clint Megyn Dan and Ash London. Okay, Sophie fake name. She's on The Voices, guys. So if you've just told us, you got introduced to your mom's new partner at a family dinner unfortunately you know him because you said you two used to be bed buddies and your mom has no idea that her new boyfriend and you have been together before

but I got the gist yeah you and your mum very similar do you live in a small tiny town in New Zealand like how does that happen as it a small town you don't need to say the town but do you live in like a smallish town I would say smallish To-dong, okay. He's just saying places. Yeah, I'm just thinking of a medium-sized. Not true.

How serious was it with you and your mum's new boyfriend? Like, were you seeing each other or? Yeah, so it wasn't, like, there was no string. It wasn't a relationship. It was just literally, like, a little bit of, like, messing around for a couple of months. Okay, so he's quite a bit older than you or quite a bit younger than your mom. How does the age split work? I would say he's probably more.

suited to my mum's age but um yeah I just met him on a random night out and things just kind of continued from that wow how did it end between you and him was it like a like obviously you weren't seeing him at the time that your mum is seeing him did you end on good terms or yeah it just kind of fizzled out like like I said it wasn't anything too serious so it just kind of ended naturally right um and there was no hard feelings there wait okay so how long ago was the family dinner where you guys came face to face with the first time in a long time So that was last week. Oh my God, so because the long he stood on the cigarette for a week,

you've known, he knows, but your mum still has no idea that the guy she's dating has also been with her daughter. Has he reached out? Oh, you need to come clean so fast! Has he reached out because he would know that you know that, you know, the whole situation? Yeah, yeah. So has he messaged you? No. No, we haven't spoken or, like, seen each other at all.

So we just pretended, like, when we met, we both just pretend. like we were meeting each other for the first time because I think we were both in shock like I'm obviously going to see them again and I can't tell my mom no no you have to there is no way there's no scenario I think

where you can just take the secret to the grave and then he becomes your stepdad and your mum when she does find out she'd be like why didn't you tell me my goodness me God this is going to blow the town of Totong a right wide open she might not be for a total

I mean, it's not going to, I don't think it would like, because me and my mum are pretty tight, obviously, from, like, the stuff that we've been through. So I don't think it'll destroy our relationship. Nah, no. But I also don't want, like, I don't want to mess up their relationship because she finally kind of seems happy. And, like, I feel like a mix of guilt.

It wasn't even serious between me and him. So it just kind of seems like I would rather just hurt, be happy because obviously she'd probably want to end up with him if she finds out. Yeah, you've done nothing wrong. Like you were just with somebody. You weren't to know that they were going to like meet your mum however long down the track. In fact, no party in this isn't the wrong. The guy didn't know. I benefited the doubt. Mum obviously didn't know. So everybody's kind of playing their own game. It's just the worst thing to have happened. Maybe the only person doing anything wrong now

is you keeping it a secret for any longer than a week. You have to come clean. There's only two options. Tell her this weekend. At least you did it early. Or get out of Tohunga. Or never say anything.

And you've got to work out which one you're more comfortable with, I suppose. There's no middle ground. You're right. Why don't you take them up the mount? And like... There's not an ephemism, is it? No, no. Right.

Okay. Sorry. So if this is your real life, we're joking and laughing about. But if you don't laugh, you cry. Thanks for being a good sport, Sophie. Thank you guys for listening. I appreciate it. Okay, a lot of texts, a lot of calls.

0-800-the-edge. I feel like there are only two options. What does you do? Come clean ASAP or take it to work, grave? You've got to come clean. Yeah. Have they going to stay together? Oh, gosh.

Surely. Do you know what you need to do? Just start a side affair and family lunches. Oh, yeah, make it more or a glimpse. In the truth booth, just a couple of minutes ago, Sof was saying that she was introduced to her mum's new boyfriend which is a big deal because she hasn't introduced partners to the family before so it obviously is serious problem as she said

she recognised him and they used to be bed buddies back in the day so this must happen it's legit the plot of a smutty book I'm reading at the moment but the other way around it's gender all's flipped yeah it's a dad someone sticks through a good point is that I reckon she needs to tell the mum before he does. Because with the chances of him telling her and then it's awkward and the mum will be like, you're my daughter, why did you not tell me?

Well, as with everything, they should have just said it straight away. I'm surprised, yeah, as soon as you met but now you've missed the boat on that. Oh, mum, okay, this is awkward, but... The amount of people that agree with you, Jane, is actually quite shocking. What do you reckon she should do? Oh, hey, look, life moves on.

And I've been in that situation before. And honestly, it's just a past, and it won't even bother her. She doesn't need to ruin it for her mum. Are you saying that you were dating someone and your mum also dated them or your daughter? Oh, no, no, no, no. Actually, it was a string. Okay, gotcha. Oh, yeah, sure.

Okay, so it's similar thing. Same, same. So it is a little bit different, but I saw them both often, and it was never brought up, and I, and that's, the other guy, the guy who I'd been with, you know, he would always give me a special hello, but no boundaries were ever crossed. I wouldn't ruin it for her mum.

But what other thing? But I think more often than not, Jane, and maybe it wasn't for your case, but the truth always comes out. You know, what if it does, and then it would blow their relationship apart, the mum and the daughter? Yeah, but do you really think he's going to,

The thing is, if she said that it just slowly drifted apart, it was obviously only a physical thing anyway. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if I want a physical thing with my step, mum. Yeah. It's a tricky one. But I mean, they'd be hoping that they split up. That's what the best case scenario here.

Okay, but then there are people who be like, don't say anything. Another one, Stacey's secret to your grave. Mum doesn't need to know. I'm like, there's a big secret to keep. Carlein, you're on the other side of the coin. You're saying, tell her. Yeah, I think so I think

keeping a secret from your own mum It will eat you up alive It will just, you know It gets the better of you In regardless of if the mum and the guy You know, make it If they do stay together forever For a long, long time

It's just going to get so awkward for you Yeah, and every family gathering It's going to be like Queenie. You had to keep seeing this person Yeah, I couldn't do it Carrie, what do you reckon? Do we think, so he's done the mother-daughter a combo, so that we think

from his point of view, he's either a legend or a bastard. Oh, that's the next thing we'll ask the audience. Legend or bastard. Kerry's phoneer. No. Carrie's phona.

Mother-daughter combo, legend or bastard? I think a lot of people are going to say legend. You're great, Kerry. God, you're a bloody hoot. After a couple of shardinets, you'd be trouble. Yeah.

Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Oh, yeah, Gary. What a good source. I mean, no one has actually done anything wrong. It's just a perfect storm. Imagine what he said to his mates. We're after that, get together.

He would have gone to his mates and gone, you'll never guess what happened, lads. Do you know what I reckon he probably does? He probably breaks up with the mum. I think so, too. And then he doesn't tell the mum why. And then she doesn't even need to come clean to her mum. Maybe you do need to give it a couple of weeks, see what he does.

Unfortunately, I've got very, very, very bad case of herpes. Yeah. And I can't be with you. She's going to be, okay, cool, cool, I get it. Yeah, no worries, Steve. The herpes cut. And I got it, I'm not going to even going to tell you who I got it from. Yeah.

I could break up families. Yeah. Nightmare. All right, our friends phone are next. I pull a random scene from a, uh, episode that we're up to at the moment. My daughter and I were at season seven, guys. Oh, he's getting there. We're almost there.

How many seasons are there? Ten? Yeah, there's ten seasons. Ten seasons. Ten seasons. Yeah, we're getting through it. So I've found a scene from one of the episodes. It involves Joey and Rachel.

And I'm like, huh. I wonder if that's relatable enough that that's ever happened to you listening. Is this the Joey and Rachel dating era? I think that's still to come. Because they're flattting at the moment. Gosh, it's coming. Season 8 or 9.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Still to come. My daughter even watching yesterday, she turns to me and she goes, God, I love this show, Dad. Oh, so sweet. I love it. The Clint Meggin' Dan podcast.

My 10-year-old daughter, Cameron and I are watching friends from start to finish. We're season 7 at the moment. She says it's her favorite TV show of all time. I wish I was her not knowing the final. Oh my gosh, she doesn't know it ends? No. Sweetheart.

Oh, what a joy to be able to watch that with fresh eyes. Absolutely. Do you think she'll be happy with the ending? Everyone was just so sad. I think that it was over. It didn't matter. Yeah, but she had with Ross or Rachel, though? Yeah, I think so.

Surely, everybody was happy at the end. It was the best ending. When the, I think it was a couple of seasons or was it last season? We're up to where, um, Chandler's in the bed. someone's in there with him and then he pulls the covers down and Monica goes, do you think anyone's suspected anything?

It's the best. And my day, camera looks at me and goes, Chandler and Monica! Oh, that's the best. It's so huge that she didn't know that. I'm like living through it again through her. So great. Do you know that Friends, side note,

generates one billion dollars annually in licensing and syndication review and so the cast of Friends earn one to two percent each which is between 10 to $20 million $10 a year for reruns and doing nothing. Is that each or... Each? Wow.

That kind of explains why, apart from Jennifer Aniston, none of the other cast are working regularly. And why would you? And why would you? 10 to 20 million a year for work he did 20 years ago. I'd literally be like, I'll be in Sicily on a balcony by the pool somewhere. Like, don't call me.

Apparently Matt LeBlanc, because he did top gear. Now he's just a recluse, just never leaves his house. Heaven. Why would you? All right, well, we are going to season 7, episode 20. when Joey buys a boat at a silent auction. Mr. Triviani. Your generous contribution brings us a big step closer to building the youth center.

Just out of curiosity, how much is that boat worth? I think it was valued at 19,000. So bad news. I can't buy the boat. I don't have any money. This is what we're going to do. We're going to go to the next highest bidder, and we're just going to let them buy it.

The next highest bidder is at table one. Oh, great. Excuse me. Is there a Mr. Beaumont at this table? That's me. So bad when you bid on something that you did. didn't think you were going to win. You thought someone was going to outlawed you,

and you're just kind of here to push it up. But Rachel has a plan. She tries to get Joey out of it. Day sailor has just become available again. I was actually relieved. I didn't win the boat. My wife would have killed me. Hey, look, let me paint you a little picture.

You get all that peace and quiet that you've always won. You can go fishing. You can get one of those little hats and have people call you a captain. And then when you're old, Cappy? What the hell? a good cause. All right. No way.

It's mine. All that stuff you just said, I want that. I'll make payments. Whatever it takes. I want them. Mr. Bowman. No, Joey. I'm currently in a silent bid for my son's kindergarten artworks. I wouldn't find it.

Oh, what a good mom. I know. It's so ugly, though. It's some of the worst art I've ever seen. It looks like kids did it. It looks like a bunch of four-year-olds did it? Just screenshot the picture and input it. the tiny little frame. You know, being part of an auction is one of the stress fullest things

you'll ever do in life. It's true. Yeah, I'd love to know, if you can relate to that, what was the item you regretted buying after the hammer went down at auction? It could be an online auction. Sure.

Or in real life. I once bought a scoot, like a moped. I had too many shandies at the old friend raiser. I did go get my motorbike license. We went through the sale. I was emceeing in charity auction. The first item was a year's supply of magnums, and it came in like one of those dairy freezers.

and people just weren't bidding anywhere near what it was worth and I said guys come on the first few items go for a steal I'll throw on the first bid 500 bucks which I think was my fee for hosting the night and then it was like going once twice sold and every time you came to my house you got a free magnum for a year It was like the milky bar kid for magnums The magnums are on me

My wife kill me We're going to charity auction if you're not going to shell out to buy some magnums Yeah right Go home Okay what was the item you bought You got carried away at the auction you thought, ah, there's no way I'm winning this. Maybe it's stuck with it.

You still look at your house and go, overpaid. Yeah. Way too much. Dooro and I are almost through the first seven or eight seasons. I wonder if anyone can relate to when Joey bought a boat. I think I carried away at an auction and bid on something he didn't have the money for. I was like, that's got to have happened to people. Well, Teresa, this happened to your husband.

What did he buy? Yeah, so he got caught up in one of those police auctions of confiscated items. Oh, yeah. And he was bidding on a Rolex watch. Oh, my goodness. So he got caught up in the bidding process, and he ended up paying about $950.

Bargain for a Rolex? Bargain, if it's real, yeah. Rolling. Yeah, that was his thinking as well. If it was legit, it was a bargain. But to this day, it's been sitting in the bottom drawer for, like, the last two years, because we're both a bit embarrassed

to actually take it and get it checked to see if it's legit. Oh, they'll kill me! You've got to know. You're sitting on a goldmine. Where do you live? Where do you live, darling? In Christchurch.

Okay, we will organise to get that watch and we will, on your behalf, we will find out... Or I will give you $1,500 for it. Oh, there's a lot. You can take $1,500. What's the option is there? Before you find out whether it's real or not.

I'll get the $1,000. I know. I even said to my husband the other day. I was like, should I take it into like Partridge Jewelor and see if they can like tell me if it's legit or not? And I was like, or would they just laugh at me? So, um... We'll organise it and we'll call me back live on the radio. We'll have me off the result. And watch person will be able to look at it pretty quickly and tell you. Absolutely. Stay on the line. Producer car. We'll get that sort of. I reckon that's going to be, I'm desperate to know. Yeah, I need a note too. I mean, I guess they all differ in value,

but like a $30,000 watch, easy, right? Like minimum? If it's like a oyster, like, very much so. At least $30K. All right, Taylor, what was the regret you had after the hammer went down, you like I shouldn't have done that at auction? So my mum made a cake for a school gala pet day auction.

And she ended up, bidding and buying it back because she wanted her plate back that's so good she should have just donated to the school yeah there's no one bidding on it she's like I'm a bit pissed on

I want a bit of hype around this thing yeah my cake's worth more than 14 dollars yeah oh that's so cute paid over a hundred dollars just to get her plate back wow that's great Taylor love that thank you

nice plate uh Jane what was the auction and regret that you or your partner had? Well, it was me and a good friend of mine. Well, she wasn't much of a good friend after that. But basically we're at the B&H tennis back in the 90s, and my father actually ran the event. And we'd had a few binos,

and there was the charity auction, and they had an auction for two tickets to Wimbledon. We thought choice was, that's bloody brilliant. So it got up to $500. And I said to my mate, we've got to do this. This is a bargain. Return trips to bloody the UK, you know, Wimbledon we'll be awake. Put her hand up instead of mine

and we won it and then realised for the next day that it was just ground passes. It wasn't a return trip and all the carry on. So that was most embarrassing. I know. And we couldn't get out of it. We were done and just... Not even like Centre Court. That's just like, well, you'd get in

and buy yourself a gin from a store. Oh no, it was very low key. We thought we would be on Centre Corp, winning, you know, getting a prize and everything, but no, we were just down the $2,500 bucks. Did you end up going? No, God, no. We're going forward to get bloody Roas, Rua, yet, settle on the UK. Ah, Broder Roa, the Wimbledon of New Zealand, they say?

Yeah. Oh, I love that. Oh, man, that's great. Some people just get carried away. They don't want to lose. You really need to look at the fine printed auctions, eh? Yes, absolutely. Holy shit, you made it the whole way through.
