This is a podcast from Rover. Has the show you know. Wake up with Clint Meg and Dan. It's the Edge Breakfast. Good morning. It's being on 6 o'clock. Sorry. Okay, I'm going to share with the class because we share everything with the class.

We're literally off here right now arguing over who's more likely to get nominated for New Zealander of the year and what for. And we all agree it was me. Isaac Clint and then Dan said no. He does his philanthropy behind the same. Like everybody knows if you're wanting to do charity work, do it publicly so people know. So then when New Zealand at the year nominations come out, they go, oh, Clint's done a lot of donations. What would you get nominated for, Dad? I literally, a woman came to my door last night.

I don't even know what she was trying to raise money for, but I said I wasn't interested and she walked away. I felt really bad. So that's... How is they convinced me that you'd be nominated? I'm not saying I would think you'd just go. I reckon it would be me and Nipia for putting up with you three. Yeah, that's not a bad shout. But you don't do it publicly and I'm coming.

Oh my God. Yeah, he's behind the glass, and I can turn his mark off whenever I lost. Excruciusious. You need to complain about it for. All right, let's see if we can give away another five grand. This one if you missed it yesterday, Krista won $5,000.

We just spun the wheel. Her car came up, and she won at seven. And I gave it to her. So I don't know if that means that... Actually, Dan had a chance to give the money away again at 8. Yeah, that was crazy. If you haven't seen the post on social media, it couldn't have come closer to giving the money away.

It's like the wheel. knew how cheap Dan was and was like, no, let's stop. So we're either on a roll and it's going to keep going or we've used all our luck. We'll find out after seven. Let's test it up with you. Yeah, we could be in for a big drought, like a week of nothing. I mean, that's what the odds would suggest. No, not necessarily, Clint.

No, and it's math, so statistically. I'm trying to stay positive for New Zealander of the year. Nominations aren't, aren't you. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. I'm about to jump into your 6am throwback. be the playlist. A bit of Brit.

Yeah. She's still doing Instagram videos. You know what I find crazy? Obviously, when she's doing the videos, I'm like, is she all there? Does she know what she's doing? Is it one of those ones who you wake up in the morning and you go, Jesus, delete, delete, delete. So you think maybe not. But then because she's got lots of nip slips when she's doing these dance moves,

either she or somebody is going through and putting little hearts over the parts where, obviously, her nipple is more visible. So therefore if someone's editing it, someone's going, you sure you want this up? I wouldn't even know how to do that. If I'm being honest, I wouldn't know how to just in a video every now and then if I'm put a little emoji on a nipple. Moving with a video.

Yeah, I don't know how to do it. You know what, let's just assume that she's happy with them. And maybe she's putting the edits in. But if she is, well, then you're right. She must be happy with the video because she's spending enough time on the edit. Oh, God, that's shocking, Brittany. Don't put that up. But she might be going, oh, I love it.

And if she's happy, I'm happy. Well, Dan was telling me, guess who's birthday it is today? Is his birthday today? NGK. Oh, wow. I only say hello there because I just hope him and me can get back together. So he was born in 1990, which makes him. 19 or 35? 6?

Yeah, 36. He's not in his 20. Oh, he's like a little bit older than me. Yeah. Deep up. And he's got a new song with Lincoln Park that he performed on Saturday night. When is it out, Mick? Today. It's just out this morning. Oh, Adam was birthday.

Oh, great. Well, there's a couple of other options as well. We could play a throwback from Machine Gun Kelly. Also, a couple of Beyonce-themed throwbacks, the first of which, Beyonce and Shakira had this song in 2007. It was number one, and it won the MTV Music Award for Most Earth Shattering Co-Lab. I mean, it was Earth Shattering Co-Lab, I guess, at the time, wasn't it? And you said it was a MTV Award?

Yes, 2007. I went and saw Michael, which is our must-see movie. out in cinemas today, by the way. And they, MTV, didn't have any black artists on MTV until Michael Jackson. And there's a scene where

he's trying to get on MTV. He wants thriller and his music videos on MTV. Iconic. And the guy's like, his agent or whatever, the record label go, MTV don't play black artists. And so he goes, and I've tried. And Michael goes, well, with all due respect, try harder.

So he gets the guy on the phone and he literally He goes, we're going to pull all of our artists from MTV, like Bruce Springsteen. He rattles off all these different names that they have unless you start playing Michael Jackson. Wow. We'll pull every artist. Yeah, and he goes, if you don't put them on MTV in the next 10 minutes, every artist is gone. And then all of a sudden, Michael Jackson ends up on MTV? And did they have the power to do that?

So they could have done that, you know, a threat. Because, you know, when you make a threat, they're like, yeah, but you can't or you won't. Well, I guess if you're pulling artists like Springsteen or them. I know. Like, the fact that they hopefully would have stood by it if they didn't. Yeah, well, I guess they must have just realized that Michael Jackson was the most bankable star in the world and that they were going to put all of their chips behind his success. It's really not that long ago, guys.

Crazy out. That things like that were the... 80s in the 80s. That's people's grandparents. Yeah. There's people's grandparents with that mindset. And the final option, which is maybe the one we'll go with, 2001, Destiny's Child, went to number one with their song Survivor, which was a huge hit, wasn't it?

No, not this one. Oh. Oh, we're not going to play this in Full Good? We're not going to play the Survivor. You second you get me some Survivor. Okay. This is the most crusty throwback. He's in the mood.

He's played Michael Jackson's Survivor. Who's this even band? This is Survivor. I have the Tiger. No, Destiny's Child. Oh, okay. He hasn't even got that ready. Yeah, I'm just putting it in

because I didn't know if you were going to choose it. What a banger. Is this the one where they're all like, their clothes are all whipped off? Cammer. Oh, don't pretend you don't remember. It's a screen saver, I think It's hot

All right, D-child Survivor Your 6'am throwback, we got there, and end It took the long scenic route No thanks to you, Clint. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast Do have a little coffee catcher? What did you guys get up to yesterday? My husband really felt light takeaways yesterday You know, when you get that crape in, I had already

defrosted some meat from... Oh, you can't, once you've defrosted. On a Tuesday night? And he was like, it's already frozen, though. It's still frozen. It was still frozen. I was going to have to defrost it properly in the microwave. You're a cool wife because if I'd said that and she'd, Hannah or defraise, she would have gone.

Oh, I'm not that cool. I said you'll have to pay for it out of your, like pocket money vibes. And he did. Because I really feel like it, so we're going to it. I was like, okay. So he went out and he wanted Indian food. And so he went out to drive and pick it up. And I got a phone call from him.

And hand on heart, I was like, right, we've either been in a car crash or he's found another dog. Because is what my husband does. We live in West Auckland, which is quite notorious for roaming drugs and strays. and strays. Because I thought he didn't have either of the kids. There was no real reason of him to call me. That would have been urgent unless he gave me, you know, it would have been a text or something.

Unless he was calling. Unless he was like, do you want to call me or a man? No, no, he was already ordered. No, no, he was literally, I ordered everything. He was going to pick it up. And it was about a few minutes down the road. I'm like, why would you call me if you, you know, you've been in a car crash or there's a dog?

Okay, that's such a weird go-to, but turns out. I think, yeah, but turns out. Yeah, you were right. And so I said it out loud, my mum's day, I said how allowed to her he'd go, he would have found a dog, picked up the phone, he goes, I've got a dog. I was like, oh, for God's sake. And he said, there was this old, rickety little dog.

And he said, I don't know how old this, so a hundred and two. And he said, it looks, I can tell it's got arthritis. So I don't you know what's got arthritis. It was shuffling in the middle of the road. Dline is a bat. Obviously, still well careful because trimmed and everything and had a collar. But he said cars were just driving around it. That's where you're talking for you?

And, yeah, they must, I don't know. He pulled over, took the dog in, and then, you know, he brought our caries home and a dog. The dog sat in one part of the house, and we had our caries until... And you kept them? Yeah, now he's our dog. No, I feel and I hope the owners out there are very happy to know, because you'd be so upset finding out your very elderly dog got out. So what happened?

So you put it out onto the council. Right. Because he had a collar, but he didn't have a name and a phone number on him. He just had his registration. So we couldn't actually contact the owners, otherwise we would have done that. We had to contact the council and the council. The people came. They've come to say, no our house.

The old mantel house. Oh, there they are again. Guys, but under the dog. Dude, one time we lost our dog and somebody, I think, called us. And she turned out, she was like four or five streets away. So it had a proper room. And when we got there, because we were out or something and we said, we're not going to be home for another hour and a half from where we are.

And she's like, oh, that's totally fine. He can stay here. We love having it. I was like, cool, cool, cool. Seem really lovely. Then when we got there, she was all like, oh, we love him so much. And I was like, yeah, we love him too. And she was like, honestly, like, we've been talking about it and we wouldn't mind, like, keeping him.

Oh my God, God. And I was like, no, we won him back. And we were, like, laughing because I was like laughing thinking she's joking. But she was quite serious. And then they wouldn't get the dog. And I was like, Benny, like, calling him. And it was like so weird. It was like, she was like proper wanting to, like, keep him.

But realizing she could. Thank God she had a moment of clarity when she did call you. What the hell? I know, I know, it's like, did you argue that you're like, you've loved him for an hour? Imagine that for seven years. Like, that's how much we love him. If you want to get a dog? She noticed us to like bring him back.

She was like, we'll have him in the weekends and we can run around. I was like, he's never coming back to your house. What? So she was like, she pitched a sharing situation. Like, bring him in the weekends or forever away. He wasn't bad, right? Yeah, that was when he was a puppy. Yeah, because he was blind towards the end.

a bit of a chore. How do you have that was the case? You would have been like, oh yeah? You're blind and deafly doing shit's in your house. Should be calling you back

that next day. We've got a dull past to give away to a must-se movie. It's Michael. It's in cinemas tonight. I went into story it yesterday. I absolutely loved it. So, so good.

You always said he's innocent. The actor, who was Michael Jackson's nephew, who plays him, phenomenal. Like, unreal, playing like one of the most talented musicians the world will ever see.

Do they go into any of the dark sinister stuff? No, no, no, no, no. Of course they don't. Interesting. Clint, Megadan. Lesh goal! It is time for... The school of the day! First goal of the day!

And I might need to change up the intro already, actually, because this is exciting. First time caller. I just came to say... Just time call a double, Abby. Get in. It's Tracy. Morning, Trace! Good morning.

Oh, I feel like you're wearing black. candies? Did you know? Because Carl, weirdly, our producer, asked the question, who's put it in the notes with you. Why did you ask what colour?

That's a way to scare off someone who's calling for the first. No, I didn't ask her what colour. She volunteered the information because I started asking her a bunch of questions. Like, what do you do for a job? What do you drive? And she goes, what are you?

You want to know what colour my undies are? I'm like, yes, I do. Look, I apologise, Tracy. Yeah, sorry. Is that, Trace. You're a bloody hoot. Where have you been all this time? Have you just found

It was my fault, really. It was my fault. Yeah, why are you just calling us now? I love these stories. Are you a new listener or a long time but never called? No. Well, I've tried calling a couple of times, but I'm just up a lot earlier now. So, yeah.

Oh, good on you. Well, there's a little bit of information we've got about you, apart from your black hundies. You've broken your wrist six times. Jesus. How does that happen? It's just cooked by this point, eh? Yeah.

Yeah, well, there was a couple of different ways. When I was young, I used to do figure skating, and I used to think I broke my wrist. A couple of times doing that, and then pulling off horses. Horses, multiple. Well, yeah, a couple of times doing that. And then the last one, I was in Waihiki, and, well, my story is I went to look at the view. My friends reckon I was going to dance on a table But I thought

And they go, is Tracy coming? They're like yeah Tracy coming They go yes I'll be there Yeah Yeah Oh you're great Tracy I don't know about that

I don't know about that Hey well we've got a double pass to send you to the new movie that's out today Michael King of Pop global icon An Unforgetable Story I saw it last night

You drive a Mazda as well. So call back after seven for fuel. It's been the fuel let wheel. Yeah, we spun it seven yesterday and won crystal $5,000. Thanks, Trace. Yeah. I'm okay. She'll be buzzing.

That could be you. A couple of chances to win today. Yeah, my husband went to a competition last night and you had a chance to win $50,000. And when he was coming home, he said, what do you win me? And he said a bottle of barbecue sauce. Pay. So not quite the same. Didn't go empty-handed.

It's not quite the same. As Crystal. No. The Clint Megan Dan podcast. Clint Megan Dan's Scandal. Scandthal, thanks to Moody, pick up, moody, plant, protein ball, find a golden ticket inside and instantly win $5,000 cash in a shot at a range rover. It feels really Willy Wonkerish, doesn't it?

It does. It does. I don't think Willie Wonka got a range rover at the end of it. No, you definitely didn't give that away. Or Charlie Bucket, whatever is that. What does Anne Hathaway and her husband do that she says keeps her marriage happy? Oh, are we allowed to play it on yet? Yes.

We both believe that laughter and humor is the sixth sense and life is incomplete without it and we are so determined to go through life finding just about everything funny. That's why Hatter is so lucky my wife.

I'll tell you what, there's no other reason. And Hillary Duff's sister Haley Duff and Matt Rosenberg have split after a 12-year engagement. Wow. I thought that was so interesting. I mean, we don't normally talk about Haley.

for a 12-year engagement and then they split. Oh, man. Writing was on the wall. We have talked about who's in the... Hello, we're engaged. Yeah, who's in the proposal waiting room. There's a lot of dudes that I think get engaged with their partner and then they go, that's it.

You know, like, it's as good as married. 12 years engaged, but never got married. I wonder how many times they got the question of when's the wedding. I think when you haven't been married at least within two years of an engagement, what's a third, what's a four? I think it's getting long nowadays with the cost of living. And Bieber fever is officially back. Justin Bieber has seven albums charting since Coachella.

Clint Megan Dan SpinkyBee More or less Different topic every morning We just guess If the first option Is more or less than the second Clint's been saving the team lately

He's been pretty good Oh just a few Lucky guesses All right we're doing heights today Hites of Celebrities Oh they'll be good at this Who's taller Areena Grande or Sabrina Carpenter

They're both quite short Aren't they both like little pint size little things Yeah Oh geez The only person I wouldn't have wanted Ariana Grande to go up against Would be Sabrina I would say Ariana's still shorter.

She's tiny, eh? Yeah, she's so small. Okay, Ariana's smaller. In career. Oh, wait, no. No, I'm sorry. Yes, Ariana is smaller by a centimetre. I'm so sorry.

Yes, she is. Thank goodness. Thank goodness. What would Dan have done if? Thank goodness for that. I think Sabrina's 152 and Ariana's 153. I just, damn. Ariana's small in every proportion.

She's everything about it's tiny. Yeah, agreed. What else? Just like her arms, everything. Well, if you're short, you're doing more long-h-hast. Same with Cynthia Urvo. She's also very little. Tiny, they're both fine.

You're like, man you're short? Yeah, but I got long as arms. Who's taller, Taylor, Taylor Swift or Harry Styles? Ooh. Wow, Taylor's always in probably like shoes that make her a pair. Taylor's quite tall. Yeah, I think Taylor might be taller. Taylor.

Taylor. Yeah. Well, done, boys. She's 180, he's 178. Who's taller? Tom Holland or Daniel Radcliffe, okay. Both shorties. Now, I actually saw a video.

Now, this is perfect, of Daniel Radcliffe coming out of the stage door. He's doing a production in New York at the moment or Broadway somewhere. And he was very, I was like shocked how short he was. So I would go Daniel Radcliffe is shorter. Correct. He's tiny. He's 165 centimetres, so not very tall at all. Much shorter.

Right? Because, I mean, old Spider-Man. Tom Holland's a short king. Yes, he is 173. Yeah. I guess it's hard to know. He's my height, exactly. It's hard to know how short celebrities are until he see them in a movie

and they're walking alongside, like, that one with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. There's a scene where they walk, you go, oh my God, Reese is tiny. Yeah. All right, Megan Fox or Bruno Mars? Bruno's shorty. I don't know, yeah, Megan Fox, would she be tall or is she sort of average height? Yeah, I mean, there's that scene in Transformers where she's like leaning over the car, and she does appear, like, quite tall enough to be able to look in and see the engine.

You know the scene I'm talking about. Okay, well, I'm going to go with Clinton, there's, like, as far as-tail. So she's tall No No She's 163 centimetres And Bruno's 164 Yeah she's very short

She's like almost The height of Ariana Granite Yeah Just little Is that it No we got one more Oh okay so we can't get a perfect school Redemption

Kim Kardashian or Lady Gaga Oh Kim Kardashian I think would be Tallest slightly taller than Gaga Correct Yeah Oh he would have done it You should have left it to me this time

Oh well. Yeah. I actually thought that was going to get you out because everyone knows Kim's really tiny. She's 5-2. But Gaga's tiny as well. Yeah, she is. She's 5-1.

Yeah. She's only a little bit taller than Sabrina Carpenter. That can't be true. Five-O-Wil. So she's almost... Well, Sabrina Capit and... Yeah, they're five. I just remember seeing a photo of her with Bradley Cooper,

like on a red carpet or somewhere, and she was literally like up to his shoulder. Yeah. Like, she's tiny. We. Yeah, really little small. You have a long arms. Very nice.

Like a monkey. I get his. Clint, Meg and Dan, time to get naughty at 640. The dude in big, big trouble. And I imagine if he's going to go to jail for his crime, he's going to need to make up a new reason as to why he's in the clangor. Okay.

Meg, your greatest fear, by the way. One of them, yes, definitely. So you'd rather be swimming and see like a big great white shark fin circling you than be in jail for... Or be in court and they go, we find Megan Mansell guilty. Why would Meg go into jail? It would probably be for like crimes against minestrone or something.

Nah, it'd be like tax evasion. It would be, eh? But she didn't do it on purpose. She was just terrible. She was just an idiot. I'm like, guys, I promise here. Jerry, I'm just dumbed here. I'm not good of maths.

It looks like you've been evading tax. All right, well, this is what he did. I guess maybe some would say clever initially, but then because he got away with it, he kept doing it. Yeah, so one of the cases that, occurred here in Orange County, they share that they opened the box and instead of Legos, they found bags of dried pasta. The scam investigators say is to mimic the sound of Legos when you shake the box. Jarrell Augustine from the city of Paramount allegedly stole Lego figures and other pieces

from the sets. The loss totaled about $34,000. Wow. Most of them, Star Wars sets. So sorry, does it say how long he's gone to jail for? Well, he's, I guess he's up for theft of over. 30-odd thousand bucks so it's one of those ones where you're either be fine something like ten thousand dollars or three to six months imprisonment theft of lego's death penalty in some states i will say though i mean it is it sounds he's not selling it then is he he's just keeping it for himself yeah so he's sold oh let him have it 30 grand 30 grand 30 grand let him have it it's lego his house but the world you know everything is just a simulation anyway you know money doesn't really exist oh okay well we'll just start stealing me me

She is a criminal. I know, my thoughts have changed recently. No, I just hope he doesn't get a long time. I know what he's done is bad, but you do sit there and go. Of all the things, it's not like, I thought at first he was scamming like little kids who thought they were getting getting, you know, Lego. Little kids that are buying Star Wars sets are getting home and finding bags of past. Oh, so no, he is doing that.

Sorry, I thought he was just stealing them from sets and taking them home. No, but then he's taking the box back, getting his money back, and then the next little kid that takes it gets home. opens up his birthday present and then his past. Lock him up, 10 years. I would definitely be changing it though. If you go on in one of the criminals,

like, what are you in for? Replacing pasta with Lego. They'd go, get in the shower. Hold my pocket. It's like not good. Yeah, I think he's got to lie. He's got to make it up. But his life's about to get a lot more interesting.

He's probably just sitting home doing Lego every night. And now he's got some stories. Yeah. He's going to have some stories. I mean, it's a smart way to do it. The past that hack is a little hack. Yeah, but the thing is he got away with it once, got away with it twice, and then he just, I guess, 30-something thousand bucks with the Lego, how many times they'd do it?

Those poor little kids? Yeah. I think on average it's about $150 per Lego. Stuff him. New Zealand dollars. You can do the quick mess, $30,000, divided by $150. Yeah. A box?

Because he's doing big sets, apparently. About 75. No. She's whales. Clint, Meg and Dan. You've got the car? We've got the cat. Fuel prices got you down?

Clint Meg and Dan have the perfect pickup. It's time to spin the wheel. This is 50K fuel let. 1 to 7, kicking it off early. See if we can go back to back. We'll lightning strike twice and we give away another 5 grand like we did this time yesterday. All thanks to Novice Glass.

Crack or chip on your wind screen. Novice Glass handle your insurance claim. Just call your local brunch direct. Jackie's called through this morning from Toadong. Good morning, morning Jack. Hey, Jackie. Good morning. How we do?

Good. Good. You're ready to win 5K. Oh, I hope so. Goodness me. Oh, how amazing. What do you drive, Jackie? I drive a Toyota. A Toyota, common car. And you've already won 100 bucks. That's in the bank. Yeah. So that's yours.

100 bucks with a fuel. You cannot lose that. Oh, wow. That's all yours. No, that's great. What car did you used to drive before the Toyota, Jackie? What did we use a Ford? Oh, God, I hope Ford doesn't come up.

Okay, yeah, true. Yeah, true. Okay, Jackie, who are you going to get to spin it, the person that needs to. Nearly got $5,000 yesterday was Dan. The person that did get $5,000 yesterday was Clint. Or one that is due a turn, Meg. Okay, she's in. She's in. Here she comes.

I mean, you're right. She is due to win. Mm-hmm. She's spent quite a bit and got nowhere close, really. Okay. Spin away, Meggie. Okay, good luck. Nice big spin.

That is a very, very good spin. I've got the celebration music ready again for you, Jackie. Let's go. Okay, it's slowing right down. Here we go. Here it's coming around again. It's looking good. It's looking good. It's incredible! No!

The balls is going to be 11. Absolutely. I think you're wrong. Oh Jackie. Okay, Jackie, Jackie, here's where it gets exciting. We're going to take a quick break when we come back. We're going to find out whether or not you are willing to chance it and if you're feeling lucky enough to forego your five grand. Do it. Do it.

$50,000 next. Do it, Jackie. Come on. No, keep it, keep it. What do you do? You stay there. You missed it. You've just tuned in. Meg just spun up $5,000 for Jackie.

She just won five grand worth of fuel. We didn't get a lot of time to chat to you, Jackie. You do have a decision to make. We'll get to that decision in a second to find out if you want to forego your five grand to play for 50. Jackie, what do you do for a living? What does this mean to you to win 5K of fuel right now? It's actually incredible. I've been little crying and it's like a bit shaky.

Yeah, I'm a support worker, so I drive to work every day, all day, you know, so that's good. I couldn't come at a bit of time with my husband being poorly, you know, and so... Oh, is your husband sick? I'm so sorry to hear that. Yeah, yeah. I was on one of your AMAs with frontal temporal temporal dementia. I remember you. Yes.

You husband's got it. Meg, I think you were away on Matley. It was last year when Ash London was filling in. Oh, right. So he's got frontal lovel dementia. That's hard. What Bruce Willis was experiencing A and it was all in the news at the time, so you kind of explained.

So are you a support worker to him or to other people? No. To other people. Oh, wow. You're really. I'm working. And then I come home and look after my husband. Oh, well, $5,000 with the fuel.

$1,000 with the fuel? It's something you don't worry. How much does it cost to fill up the Toyota? 140, but I always get to a certain point and then fill it up, so I never have to fill it right up. Yeah, that's the trick, I reckon, eh? I was saying that's about 35 weeks of petrol, if it gets you through about a week or something. Well, you still have a choice to make, Jackie.

I mean, you can stick with the $5,000, or you can risk it and spin again for $50,000 worth of fuel. Now, Jackie, I know what I'm going to tell you. I'm going to say take that money, walk away, but I think the boys are going to try and convince you. I'd love to see it. You're the luck's on your side. I'd love to see.

Imagine we went that mental for five, how crazy we go for 50. I'm going to give you a drum roll, so you've got about nine seconds to give us your answer whether you would like to give back the five grand and spin for $50,000 worth of fuel. I'm going to keep the $5,000. Good one. Decision, Jackie.

We'll spin again, though. What would have happened? Oh yes, who do you want to spin for the second time? You've kept that money, it's all yours. We can't win this 50 if we spin up on it. Oh, we're going to go for a double flip for you. So, Meg, she's coming around again. Imagine that you get 50 grand.

It's like almost a decade worth of free fuel. Yeah, well, the pressure's off. Do it with similar spin. So she spun it again. I'd say it's a similar weighting to your last one. Okay. I don't want it to win. Just for fun.

We don't want it to land on the 50. Because that would be gutted, wouldn't it? I mean, five thousand. Slow one down. It's at the top, it's coming. Oh my God, no. Good, no, perfect, perfect, didn't even get close. It was about six wedges away.

To be honest, $5,000 is like $50,000. Yeah, yeah. Well done, Jackie, and well deserved. You join, well, and now I guess we're compiling a list of winners. We had Crystal this time yesterday. Jackie joins her as a fuel-lit winner, and we'll play again at 8 o'clock to see if we can get ourselves a third winner. Yeah, well, the question is how many more times are going to be play this?

Can we afford another winner? It might disappear into the ether. Tomorrow we just won't mention it. They'll be like, where did that game go? Yeah. And we're how people that like to, you know, throw a little course into the wind and spin for 50,000. Where are you at? Any one of those.

All right, if you do want to check out the live spins every morning, you just text the word, Fuel to 3343. Producer, Producer, Nipia, has been live streaming in the background the whole time, so you can check out the spins in real time if you like. We'll bounce you back the link. An organic rubbish collection is happening in my neighbourhood again. I haven't done it in a while, but you accumulate a lot of crap, don't you? They used to just have a time and everyone would just put their crap out over like a two or three week period,

whereas now you've got to book an organic collection and you have like one day, which I think is good because you don't have people just rummaging through your rubbish, throwing it all over the berm for like two or three weeks. Yeah, so you have to book it. But it's like, and I think you have to pay like a small fee, but I feel like that's a good thing because you don't want people were just throwing stuff into those in organics, willy-nilly, weren't they? And so over the weekend, we got our stuff together

and put it out on the berm. And we put out an old TV, an old lawnmower, and some few other bits and bulbs, like some old pots that Hannah didn't want anymore, and some stuff. I put it out, I would say, I want to say maybe about 2pm,

and it was all gone by 3. Oh, the magic corner. You put something out on that magic corner with the sign that says free and it's gone. Did the TV and the lawnmower even work? The lawnmower does, and it had fuel in it as well. So that's what I said to hand. I was like, they were just getting it for the fuel.

Yeah, and what about the TV? Like that tiny bit, like a little drip. And the TV was, no, I don't think it does work, but people took it anyway. They'll see if they can sell it for parts and bits and bobs. And to be fair, I was like, good. Like, at least they're taking it. Sure. People are taking it.

I have no qualms with it. And maybe they might know how to fix the TV or whatever. Yeah. But we tried to give it all away, and people just wouldn't want it. Like, we took it to the... Isn't that funny? We took the lawnmower to the Salvation Army and a couple of different places.

They couldn't take it, so we sort of had no option. The inorganic collection is also, like, online in the way if you put something on Facebook marketplace and you say it's free most of the time. You just have to pick it up. They'll just take it. That's the most punishing members of society. People that go around on Facebook marketplace

looking for free stuff and then being like, is it still available? It's still available? And then they go, I'll come pick it up at 9. On a Saturday night and you're obviously out, partying or whatever. and then you're like, okay, so you go home specifically catch an Uber because you probably had a couple too many beers

and then you wait outside your house and by 945 you go are you coming? Oh nah, not anymore. Yeah, they just don't reply. And you go, what are you doing? It's like because it's free, there's no care factor involved in terms of someone coming. I had a friend actually one time when I used to live in a much fancier part of Auckland

when I was flatting a park called Poncemey if you're Ponzi. And my friend came to visit and noticed that my neighbours were moving out and she took their bed that was in their skip. Bed in a skip? Now I said there's...

With mattress? No, I think it was just the slats in the actual size of the bed and she had to call somebody and it was a whole... She still uses it today. That was years later. If you saw it go out, maybe. But if it's been outside for 24 hours in the cold and the wet, imagine her like

musty and molly? Oh, she was very happy with it. I mean, but again she wouldn't have been able to afford this bed. And beds are expensive, especially mattresses. If you get like a really good mattress they're like, yeah. Memo old producer Chang, he found like a baby cot

on the side of the road and brought it home for his newborn. For his newborn. Yeah, but it was just the wood but we were just like still a little... I don't know. There's just some things. Like sometimes you can find a good score in some people's rubbish. Well that's what I want to talk about here. What did you find in the rubbish? Because

I mean... Or on the side of the road. On the side of the road yeah, like if it wasn't an organic maybe you just saw something people had put out and you're like, I'll snap that up and it turned out to be a priceless I saw a grand piano on the side of the road that somebody could pick up if they wanted it. But again, like, maybe the keys were missing, I don't know. You have to be strong to pick that up.

Maybe it was, like, an average piano. Yeah, it could, like, if it's all... Out of tune. Out of tune, then they can be quite expensive. But it wouldn't matter for you, Me, because you're not singing. I wouldn't know if it was in tune or out of tune. Yeah, right. I could probably sing along with it.

You probably get. She'd be more in tune. Yeah, it's like, whoa, do I sound great or what with these new piano. All right, well, see if it gets the Clemigan Dan seal of approval. What did you feel? find in the rubbish. 0,800, the Edge or Texas, 3343. They do say one person's rubbish is another men's treasure. Yeah. I think that's sort of the say. I think it's a little bit more succinct than that.

Clint, Meg and Dan. Crystal won five grand, seven o'clock yesterday morning. And you wouldn't believe it. 20 minutes ago, Jackie joined the club. It's coming around again. It's looking good. It's looking good. $5,000 is yours, Jackie. Meg doing a turkey impression in the background. I don't even know what I was saying, listening back. She said nothing.

And also, not to mention that Cal gave away $500 because he plays Fiolet as well during his show after us. Yeah. So we just haven't stopped winning. It's the easiest way to win five grand in New Zealand at the moment. We'll do it again after eight, eh? Yep. As well, honestly, let's keep playing into the boss, pulls it.

Because... So far he's okay. That's when you know he's right out of money. Yeah. Okay, right now, though, we want to know, what did you find in the trash, and we'll see if it gets the Clint McGon, Dan's seal of approval.

Dan's going through inorganics, everything he put out, gone within an hour. Yeah, good on them. And Bex calls us from Tootong. Morning, Bex? Morning. What did you find in the dump or on the rubbish? So my partner worked at a landfill,

and the amount of stuff that would, like, not go to, like, the shops that would be straight, dump straight down on, like, the tip face was insane. Like, we had Walthale sound systems, nothing wrong with them. Fancy, $1,000 vacuum plan. that was thrown out because there was a small blockage or a hairball in the freaking pipe. Oh, instead of cleaning it out.

So much stuff. Do you think it's just rich people that are like, instead of selling it or just throw it out and get a new one? Just getting you one, wow. That must be a life, eh? There's so much stuff that could have, you know, nothing wrong with it. You're the right wife, though, to be married to him? Yeah.

Because I imagine there'd be otherwise going, what did you bring over in the dump today? No, stop it. That's a perks of the job, working at the tip. You don't think of that. But you would get a lot of stuff. You get to see it first before anybody else. I thought that was good at like op shops as well.

My wife's to like filter through it. It would be terrible working at the dump. She's such a hoarder. Yeah, all the ops shops. Yeah, it would be too. Susie, morning. Morning, team. How are you?

Good. So your dad used to take you to the dump. Yeah, back in the day when it wasn't a rescue station, it was literally like piles of crap everywhere. Yeah. We used to wade through it in our gunboots, me and our sister, and I found a diamond ring. Wow.

Yeah. Dad said it must have been a magpie in my previous life because I saw something shiny. Wow. Did you try and give it back or did you just assume that it was, you know, to be thrown out I guess? No, dad was give us like, you know, lose his

, keep his, whatever that's saying is, but he gave it to mum. Oh, wow. Will you marry me? Yeah, that's one cheap engagement ring. And let's go to Nicola. Nicola, what did you take from the inorganic collections? I didn't take anything from the organic collection but more a caution to take things from the other

collection. Oh, you're going to know. Number a number of years ago, my dad was terminally ill and he passed away at night time and the funeral home to coming. The inorganic collection, haven't yet? He had been in for many years. Oh my God, not knowing that someone had passed away.

Your dad had died on it that night. And been in it the rest of the night. My goodness me. Yeah, I see. You just never know. Taking a bed from inorganics. God knows what people are doing on those things. Yeah.

If they've decided I don't want to sleep on this anymore. Yeah. Yeah. I know. Probably. I think the base is fine, but the mattress is a fee. Yeah. Mattress is a fee.

Wow, wow, wow, wow. We were. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a little cautionary tale for you. Yeah. Thanks, Nicola. Thanks, Nicola.

My goodness. Oh, my gosh. I wonder how many people have a bed that they've only just brought in in the last, like, you know, 24 hours or the last week? I'd, uh. If you're buying a second-hand bag, just ask the history. They're like, yeah, well, exactly. Has anyone died on this?

Remember when Dan? Yeah, they can't ask Chatibati, how do I tell if somebody's died on this bed? Dan sold a bed once, and then when they came and picked it up, they wanted a discount because there was a brown stain on it. Yeah, but it wasn't it anyway. You said it was coffee. It was just coffee. I was very clumsy.

Very clumsy. They still brought it as well. They still took it. Yeah, discount, no? Yeah, discount. $50 off. The brown state. There's a lot of bad.

news going around at the moment. I would love to shout out one angel living among us. Probably a good nomination for an early Clint McGendandand, New Zealander of the year. Oh, do we do that? Well, Kiwi Bank, do you? We could start a row. We can start out one. Go against Kiwi Bank. It's time for me to shout out just somebody who's just doing great things for no praise whatsoever. They're doing great work in the shadows, which I think is really the true meaning of a hero and not all of them wear capes.

And Meg? Yes. Your husband doesn't need one. Yes. Oh, he has been doing some lovely things lately. He's a fantastic man, my husband. I will give you an honourable mention. My daughter is obsessed with this new game that I knew Meg loved Animal Crossing.

And she's been playing it a lot and so Meg will schedule times. In fact, I shield you from a lot of the time because my daughter is always at Can we call me? Can we call me? I was like, she's going to get annoyed. So, well, just limit the amount of times that she harasses you, wanting you to stop your life to play Animal Crossing. Meg's like rich in this game.

She played it all during COVID, so she gave Cam like $200,000. In the game, it was very cool that I was able to do that. That sounds like your estate giving $200,000. I know. What's that in real money? How much do you have? There was a lot of time, to be fair. How much do you have?

I have $8 million. Oh, okay, so not that's like, it's such a small fraction of your... It's not even 5%. It's not even 5% actually. Oh, guys, come on. You want like Elon Musk? Yeah, she's a great kid. So anyway, Meg has two daughters.

Yes. And so obviously her husband has no son. And he found out that my son loves Pokemon. And he collects the cards. And so Guy, unbeknownst to me, went out and spent $60 on six different packs of Pokemon cards.

That's like $700,000 in your game. And that was out of his pocket money as well. Can I say also, because I told him that you said that your son had been told recently that they weren't cool anymore. Yeah, so is what. Ty used to collect them and so did the rest of his school. And then the rest of the school just stopped. But he still enjoyed it, but he had no one to trade or play Pokemon cards with anymore because it just wasn't cool. So a guy went out and bought some cards.

And then he pretended when he phacetime my son that he had no idea what Pokemon were or whether they were rare or not. And he opened them up with my son. Alright, my first one is a ratita, which I know is nothing. I mean, I've only opened five cards and already unhooked. I'm definitely going to be doing this. Oh, this one looks like it's shiny. Oh, yeah, that one is probably where. Oh, hang on.

Oh, this is like a really shiny one. It's Mouth EX. And it's like shine. Oh, that's really good. Yeah? I said you should keep that. Okay, cool. Bye.

I'll see you later. See you, bro. Thanks for your help. We went straight to the store, and we bought. two packs and I asked him in the car. I was like, what did you get? And he goes, I need to wait until I get home so I can FaceTime Guy because he's going to want to see. Oh my heart. What a sweet

little darling, wasn't he? And he was so good at like teaching guy. And what I actually thought was really lovely about your son, because I was in the background with the kids, my kids, his kids, looking after them when he was with Thai. And what I noticed about your son, which I thought was really lovely, Clint,

is that guy did get like a kind of semi-rear card. It would have been like worth like $15 to $30, you know, not much. but he, Ty said, I've got a friend who would really like that card. Do you mind if I have that card guy and I'll trade it for you to try and get you a better one? So he wasn't going to keep it himself. I thought that was really sweet that he was trying to get guys. Yeah, it was very lovely.

Self-listen, it's not like he posted it on Instagram for likes or anything, did he? Oh, what he did? He did a little video, but he didn't say why he did it, which I thought was lovely. He kind of just acted like, oh, look at me buying Pokemon cards. If I don't like someone's job, I'd have time to do that. as well. Oh, that's got a lot of time on his hands sitting at home all day.

We'd all be saints if we didn't have a job, mate. Do you think stay-at-home parents just sit at home all day? Oh, Dan. That's not good. I'm joking. It's very cute. He's a lovely guy. He's the best.

He is. It's good at showing of non-toxic masculine in the years and that. I bloody loved it. And I was like, man, he was a GC. Can you back here listening? Guy for New Zealand or the year? Give him a year.

Give him another kid, Mayor. Give him a boy. Shut up. He loves his girls. He'll get so mad at you for saying that. Oh, no, the girls are the best. But I'm like, you know, but I think, you know, he's missing an opportunity to be able to just keep going until you get one.

Oh, let's get them into Pokemon cards or something. Yeah. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. We're going to get that trailer updated. That's old. That was when Crystal won yesterday. Jackie won this morning.

Yeah. Less than an hour ago. Oh, my goodness. So the winning keeps happening after 8 o'clock as well, we'll spin again? Yeah, I'm so excited. We're on a roll, so technically we should go again. Yeah. I don't know if you're going to change your attitude, though, Dan.

I was shouting out Meg's husband. guy, incredible, just person for what he did for my son. Lovely guy. And then Dan started getting annoyed about all the cool stuff he does but people don't know about. Just because I don't post about it on social media man. You know, all the stuff I'm doing. He said he'll be amazed at the stuff that I

do that I don't post for likes for the community and I said, name one thing and he said... Well, I don't want to because then it dumps it down, doesn't it when I'm talking about it? So you can't give me one example of why you're a good person and for the community? No, no, I'm not going to. Oh, what about that lady that knocked on your door looking for donations yesterday.

Well, I said no to her. And what about that little old man who's really lonely and he dropped off some fruit to you? Oh, but it's always off. It's like he's giving us his off-cuts. What was this charity for, by the way? I'm a charity to him. I'm basically like a green bin for his house. He just drops it off. I'm going to add that to some of my philanthropy I'm doing.

Nominee for New Zealander of the year, Dan Webby. I'm going to the orphanage after this. Clint Megad. Let's go. Erica from a little nudge on Instagram If you don't give her a follow, you should Whether you are dating or you are single And looking to date.

Morning. Morning. Morning. There she is. Now, Erica, we usually do quite, not serious ones, but, you know, everyday real life situations. This one is one of those,

but it's a little more lighthearted, but I'd like to hear your thoughts. I don't know if this is lighthearted to me. Go on, Deb. Okay. How do I nicely tell a guy that I've been seeing for three months that his breath smells?

He's perfect in almost every other way. That's a tough one. And I'm surprised this person let it go for three months without saying anything because that's a long time to be harboring these feelings. Yeah. This is a difficult one. And no one wants to have to tell someone, hey, your breath smells. And you're not going to say it like that. But I would say if this person is important to you, how would you want it said to you?

And try that. So I might, I don't, nobody wants it said to them, obviously. But I might say something like, this is going to be a really awkward conversation. I think a beautiful way to start an awkward conversation is to let the person have. the conversation is going to be awkward because that way it sort of diffuses it a little bit. And then you can say something like, I don't know if anyone's mentioned anything before, but I have noticed. Oh, God.

Oh, even knowing what you're about to say. I don't know what I'm going to say. I have to think about this. It's a really tough one because if you really like someone, you want to be kind. But on the other hand, by the way, it's not meg that's breath smells, but she's taking it very personal. No, no, I just, I get, yeah, I don't like hurting people's feelings. Yeah, people have asked me.

this question before. You know, I noticed the smell and I don't know if you if anyone else has said that or you've been to the dentist rightly, but you can make it about yourself, but I would want to know if that were me. And so, you know, because I care about you, I wanted to bring it up. What have you just sort of said it in like a passing

comment like you haven't been harboring the thought? Like, what's that? What is that? You're not going to say you've been thinking about it for free... How often do you brush your teeth? Oh, God. Yeah, have you brush your teeth this morning? Yeah, sort of like a lighthearted dig. Or is that not enough? I think it's meaner to do it as a lighthearted dig and actually kinder to do it as I really care about you. This is something that I've noticed.

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I wanted to call up your attention. Nobody wants to hear that. It's going to be awkward however you say it. And I suppose you can use that same formula for almost anything that is a little bit awkward to bring up, whatever the thing may be. It might actually be a medical issue. It might be some sort of adverse reaction to some medication. We just don't know. Oh, good luck with that one.

I don't know if I was good with that one. It's awkward regardless. Yeah, I think there's no good way to skin that cat, really, is there? But I do like the bit saying if it were me, I'd want to know. So I'm just trying to be kind and coming at it from that place. So hopefully that's helpful. Right. And of course they're going to feel embarrassed, but they also might feel grateful.

Yeah. Now, I will say, I have to wonder, too, like, I do think pheromones and people's sense are really important. Perhaps your sense just don't match. Or is it an actual issue? I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's interesting. Yeah.

Hey, thank you, Erica. We look forward to catching up with you next week with another question to try and... Well, it feels like sometimes we're trying to trip you up. We're not. Some of them are real tricky. Thanks, mate. I think I'd lie and give another reason. Like, has anybody ever done that listening right now?

Oh, 800, the edge 3, 3, 3, 4.3. Was there a reason you were breaking up, but you gave them completely other... Another reason just because you didn't want to... Probably something would other do, too. You know, later, I'd be exactly the same. I'd be like, look, I don't want to be mean. It's not going to work. Yeah, like, they've got really bad breath, but you just go,

Our lives are going in different directions. The next girlfriend's problem. You know, not my problem. What did you tell them was the reason for the breakup? Yeah. And what was the actual reason? Oh, that's good, clip. Oh, 800 at the edge of text 33343.

There must be a lot of stories out there. Come on. Especially like short-term relationships. Yeah. Right now they want to know, what did you tell them was the reason for the breakup? And what was the actual reason? Because sometimes the truth, it hurts too much.

Despite the fact that Erica, from a little nudge who we have on once a week, says you're better to go with the truth. I just couldn't say I'm breaking up with you because you've got bad breath. I couldn't do it. I'd make up something else. They're fantastic. Well, not really fantastic.

I shouldn't label them as a text coming through. But he was really nice, but my God, his voice was irritating. Every time he spoke, I cringed. So I told him I was moving away for a new job with him dating for six weeks. That's kind of like this one. I told her the distance was too much. But actually, I couldn't stand to her laugh. She laughed like a turkey.

I was like, oh. And it's like, just going to put you off. You just constantly stop making them laugh, eh? Oh my God. Are we able to get through Shanae, Carl? Shanae couldn't talk, but Alia's the egg. Take a lea. Definitely.

I want to read Shanae's text. She said I ghosted someone after a dinner date because they were allergic to peanuts. Imagine giving that up for the rest of your life. So bad. She's like, nah, can't do it. Wait, no peanut butter, no sate. No, can't do it. Yeah.

All right, Alia. Morning. Morning. What did you tell him the breakup was about? I told him I realized I wasn't ready to date. Oh yeah. But in reality I was deep diving on his Facebook and I saw a photo pop up where he was wearing like some like costume paws on his hands like a weird. Paws.

Like he had like a costume on it and it was like paws on his hands and I was like what is this? And I deep dived further going back like a couple of years and there were photos of him in full furry outside. furry outfit. Right. And if you don't know what furry is. I thought my whole body like just cringe. So I told him I was like, nah, can't do it.

Sorry. Those are those people that meet up like for adult stuff, eh? And they dressed as furry animals. Yeah, and his persona was a fox. If you wanted to know. I mean, if you were going to be a furry, I think that would probably be one of cool ones. I quite like a fox actually. If I, yeah, if I was to be one, maybe a fox

is quite sweet. Was there any intrigue your end to just like go to one of the furry meetings or was it just not for you? No, not for me. No, fair enough. Is that when you see the girls out in town and they're wearing like a tail? I've seen that before. Is that like a little hint?

Is that just a weird fashion choice? We also have a text in saying this is what I'll do if somebody is bad breath. I'd say, do you have a poorly tooth because your breath is a little smelly? Oh no, you can't do that. So like if you've got toothache

because there could be... Honestly, if it's really bad breath. Like what are you? I just, I just, If it was early stages of a relationship, I'd just cut it off. I couldn't deal with it. Whoever's text us in, I agree with you on this. I told him there just wasn't chemistry. Real reason, a weekend bedtime is not 8.30, Joshua. Maybe he started early.

That's my type of person. That's late for me. I was like, no, I'm going to bed. It's Saturday. It's like 825. And he was a very. Early riser. Oh, great.

You probably like to run at 630. All right, coming up, your chance to win $5,000. You could be joining Crystal from yesterday and Jackie who won less than an hour ago. It's coming around again. It's coming around again. It's looking good. The boss has long here, but he might be pulling it out.

He might be bald after eight if we spin it up again. He is hoping. He's pacing already. I've seen him. He's pacing up and down. We want you to win. We'll play in the next 90 seconds. Clint Megan Dan.

Stinky bit. Your car is your ticket to win. It's time to spin the wheel. 50K fuel it. Yeah, gave away five grand to Jackie. She opted not to spin again and risk the five to win 50,000 at seven. What would you do? It's all thanks to our mates at Novis Glass.

They get amongst everything. They're supporting the national stone skipping champs, melanoma awareness, and trying to get fuel in your car for free. I love you, Novos. Thank you. And hopefully Stacey, loves you too. Stacey, good morning. Morning team, how are we?

Beautiful. Okay, reliable. Here are the stats days. We gave away $5,000 at 7. Dan literally stopped the ticker on the peg, so he was millimeters away from giving away another $5 grand at 8. Then Cal, the show, after us during the day show, he gave away $500.

We gave away another $5,000 an hour ago at 7. It's the easiest competition on radio At the moment 100% where we've got so much So much cash to give away here at the edge Okay Are you ready? Yes

Okay Who would you like to spin for you this morning? If anything it's Dan's turn to win Well Clint's I would go with Meg Because she's on a roll I don't know I don't know if you can be

A roll for one But As much as I love you Dan I might go with Clint on the slide Okay No fair enough Well to be fair He won yesterday

Didn't you? And I haven't touched the wheel since. His magic fingers might just be magic again. Okay, he's coming round to the wheel. Just to peep behind the curtain as well while Clint comes around.

But we play on tomorrow seven and eight When you're in this job for a very long time Like I have been, you think you've run out of stories And then something pops up and you go I forgot that ever existed That is what's happened to me One of my best mates, Steph, sent me a photo from something I don't remember doing

that I thought I would Because I'm so generous Give to you boys to play with You're going to embarrass yourself next 10-year-old cringe, Meg. That was when she was peak cringe. Oh my God, she's still cringed now. I know about peak cringe a decade ago.

When I was 24 years old, so I had only just started, I started the edge at 23 and at the end of the year. So I'd been working at the edge for maybe about six or seven months. And at that point, it was when one of my best friends in the whole world I've known her since I was four, we decided we should do a 20-year friend. diversary trip.

Great idea. Great idea. It was amazing. She said she wanted to go on a scenic tour, train trip in Russia. I said I wanted to go to Vegas. That's so random.

That is so niche. I hope you went Vegas. I said Vegas. We went to Vegas. A train trip in Russia. I remember her. I still remember her writing that. And I said, or Vegas.

And she goes, right, yeah, that's better. So we ended up going to... Did you go to the Terry Fader show, the ventrilochus dummy? He won America's got to tell him. No. I mean, you've got to remember. We were still.

24 and relatively, like it was expensive for us to go. We weren't in a lot of money. So we went to LA, Vegas, but we went and stayed for the last three nights. We stayed in LA. And we booked a hotel that I really pushed for because she used to work here at the edge. Sharon Casey said to me, and she, again, I'd known her for about six months. She's showering Casey. She told me, you should stay at this hotel.

So it's kind of her fault. And she told me a silly pretty stayed there and stuff. And I was like, okay. And I was like really excited. and when we pulled up, I should have known from that point it was not going to be good because it was covered in scaffolding to the point that we walked up and down the pathway

to try and find the interest. Sharon was pranking you, I reckon. She gave you a shitter. Okay, there's scaffolding. Said nothing about that in the book in or the listing, you know, when we booked. Our last three days we spent all of our money and the plan was to lay by the pool,

which it had on the lounges and stuff, and then we'd go home. When we walked in, we saw that there was no pool that had been emptied out. And it was getting, I guess, revamped and retiled. So unfortunately from us, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., they did concrete drilling, which is, I think, honestly, one of the worst sounds in human existence. Maybe apart from a baby crying when it comes to, like, how much you can get wound up by noise.

Or drilling a tooth when you're at the dentist? But, like, just concrete drilling. Like, I don't even know what it's called. Jackhammer. And constant. From 6 a.m., they started. I guess they wanted to do it quickly because they've got money to make. but they never told us about it.

So for three days, and they wouldn't cancel it, we asked them, we're like, hey, can we get our money back in a refund? We came here for the pool, and they were like, no. And we thought that was very corrupt. So when we checked out and paid them full, no, actually, they offered us $40 off our entire stay for three nights. It's such a random number. $40 for no pool and constant noise from 6am to 6pm.

It's kind of fair, I thought. The only plans were to lounge by the pool. Okay. We got our invoice and we signed it, and we didn't. paid it, but we left a note. Oh, a pass-ag note from Meg Mansell. So Steph wrote something and I wrote something.

First we'll start off with what Steph said. It's like a birthday card. We are extremely disappointed with our stay. The noise has been overly excessive even with air plugs. No pull was a letdown. I'd say it was the reason

we were there was the pool, so it wasn't just a let down, but, and the discount being $40 seems totally unjust. Very upsetting. an unrestful stay. And then I wrote. This, by the way, is mid-20-year-old Meg from 10 years ago.

I've been at the edge for six months. You'd think she's old enough to know better, by the way. Maybe eight months. I was recommended to your hotel as I work in the radio and music industry. I was like, why does Meg keep saying how long she's been working at the edge for? I was like, oh, she's going to flex her celebrity card.

In the radio and music industry. I'm sweating. As recommended your hotel as I work in the radio and music industry. And guess what? I'm going to tell them when I go home how... They're shaking in their boots. New Zealand's going to know how crap this hotel is. How inhumane conditions have been.

You have ruined my holiday. Inhumane. Because you didn't have a pool. I'm going home more stressed than when I left. And I left my email if they would like to... Megan at the edge. Megan and air at MediaWorks. Hand on heart, if you put me in a lie detector test

and Carl asked me, have you ever done it? Do you know who I am? I could say no confidently, but look at that. You don't give you know who I am energy. Oh, I apparently at 24 and I'd worked at the end. I was like a day show host, like he would done nothing that I apparently was going to take them down with my radio show. Which I never did anything with, by the way.

I never said it on here. and never said don't go to the Beverly Laurel. You know what? That would have been thrown up, like, screwed up by the cleaner. There's nothing to do it and just thrown in the bin. That or it's on our hall of fame laughing at it. True. Either either.

They're both great options. Do you think we get more calls for what did the note say, or Airbnb accommodation horror stories? I think you might get some with Airbnb horror stories or, like, you know, hotel horror stories while I happen to hotel. But I mean, maybe I'm the only person that left a node. I don't know. Okay, have you got tourists for either?

Do a topic. Yeah, passag notes. So many options. I work in the radio music industry in New Zealand. You work in the radio industry. I'm going to tell them. I thought they were really going to be upset with that. I wait under the edge.

This is hilarious. Your husband who used to work in radio and he has a very smart, creative man just to read out a 10-year-old notes. Yeah, he doesn't know that story. That's the first time I've ever told anybody that because it's the first time I've seen the know in 10 years. Yeah, so you complained about a stay in

Vegas. Yeah, I like, yeah, I like. Yeah, you found the photo because your friend must have taken it. And so now your husband's just jumped on their website, giving them a half-star rating. Yeah, to be fair, they have a lot of half-star rating, so it's not just us, but he wrote, one star. My wife works in the radio and music industry,

and has told everyone not to come to this hotel because it was inhumane. Inhumane, I feel's a little harsh. Just because the pool wasn't in use. So are you what, Willie? They'll take calls on what did the notes say? They will also take calls on Airbnb accommodation like horror stories. I never forget a note my auntie got.

It was on the windscreen of her car. And it just said, thanks. Because I was with her when we saw it and I said, for parking so effing close. Next time leave me a can opener to get my car out. A-holes like you should take the bus. And she kept it. She kept it.

Why did she keep it? That's quite funny. I guess just to live by it. Photo copy it and maybe you can pass it on. Is it a note to oral? a hotel stay that you're calling about? It is a hotel stay.

Uh-oh. So a couple years ago, my mom and my sister and I went up to Auckland for the Harry Styles concert and we booked a motel hotel in South Auckland. It was all fine. In the morning we woke up and we could smell a really strong smell of like bleach cleaning products. Oh my God.

Walked out, didn't think anything of it in the morning and about a week later, my mom got a call from a detective in Auckland. asking if we'll have anything suspicious on that particular night and we've said no, we were at the Harry Stiles concert and it turns out there had been a very suspicious death at the hotel that night so yeah we got questions about a murder at the motel. Oh my god, the bleach would have had something to do with it?

They're trying to hide evidence or something. Oh, my God. You've got to clean it up, I guess, for the next people. Yeah, my goodness. Out the gate. Not really the hotel's fault, I guess. No, I mean, yeah, they can't help who's staying there. Yeah, Bridges Inipia?

Yeah, my flatmate, Jonti, got one of these notes on the windscreen of our driveway, maybe three or four weeks ago. It says to the degenerate in the red car or whoever is pumping the heinous music and just goes on to say about how he's got a small one and he needs to compensate for it by playing his music as loud as possible. We absolutely pissed ourselves. Oh, my God. You're like, how did he know about your thing?

Yeah, they didn't even see that from the car. incident he knew that. Yeah, wow. Okay, let's go to Susie. Susie, what was the hotel stay? Why was it bad? We went to Hamner for a so-called romantic weekend away. Lovely. Once we got there, basically when I booked it, they said they had a spa and they had a breakfast.

When we got there, the spa was empty and the owners had gone to Christchurch for the weekend. So we didn't get breakfast and our room reached so we had to buy incense to just stay there. one night and then come home. What did it smell like? What was it like? It smelled like someone had boiled curry and a, I don't know. I don't mean to, you know, it had a really bad smell. Yeah, my goodness, me, and no spa pool.

I know, but I guess if you're like hoping for the spa, that's inhumane in a way. Oh, stop it's as in all the crings. I think that was more about the noise. I'll defend myself a little. Still not inhumane. No, it's not a pass-ag note, though. Oh, wow.

I love a pass-ag note, though. It's the perfect crime, right? Because if you don't sign it, they don't know where it's from. Speaking of, the most pass-ag notes typically have come from Dan and Dan's diary. We've been going back through some of the great diaries as we go on a hunt next week for new ones in Dan's mum's attic before she moves house. Yeah, we're going to one of my favourite entries when he was brainstorming what he could do his speech about. Brilliant. Clint, Megan Dan.

Sit back and relax while we dive into Dan's Diary. If you are an old school listener and you remember Dan's diary, you will probably remember the most famous entry, which was Dan's speech, which I'm not going to do today. But I am going to do him when he did his brainstorming of the speeches. Oh, you're a tease, aren't you? I'm not going to do that. So we have locked in our trip to your mum's house to go rifling through her addicts

to try and find what we hope will be a last remaining Dan's diary. before she moves house. Next week. I called her yesterday to see if she's already and she's very nervous about us coming over because her attic is a mess.

Is it? Yeah, she's like, she doesn't want us to think that she's a messy person. And genuinely, it's not one of those things like, we've found the diary, we're going to go fake some trip. We don't know.

We might come up empty-handed. Like the time that Dan said he buried a time capsule out the back of his house and we got a metal detector and we spent four hours there, never found it, and all we found was that rusty handcuffs

that Dan would chain his friends to naked. Outside. Well, let's just not dwell on that. I think we've moved on from that and let's hear about the speech. You play Cowboys and Indians or something. Yeah.

Different time. Speeches are at the end of week four, so we need to start thinking about topics. I have so many ideas. But I do want it to be informative. We need to talk for three minutes. My goal? Get into the school finals.

That's always the goal in it. Spoiler, you didn't. Okay. Speech ideas. The final hours of Princess D. die. Now I don't know now I remember when we did this entry and I still to this day don't

remember why I would have ever done that it must have been sort of front of mind maybe it was like documentaries had it just happened? No God no it was she died in 97 this would have been mid 2000s. Circle back sorry I did miss the word you literally said I want it to be informative and funny but that makes that one all the more confusing

which how are you going to get humour into that one? I don't think I ended up going with that for that reason. Yeah you can't have a laugh so informative and fun. So informative and Remember, once again to get into the school finals with these speech ideas. Next idea. So final hours of Princess Die. Cross that one.

Cats. So I'm unsure where we've gone from that to that. Right. I've always loved cats. Okay. If not cats, the obesity epidemic. To stuff you know a lot about. You can have a laugh.

Okay, okay. Then you're like, right, right. Maybe I'll go on something that I'm really good at. Okay. Musical theatre. Good. Okay. Yeah.

We can do that one. Goes down again. Going back to informative. You wrote science, spout it wrong, then crossed it out very quickly. I was probably like, if I can't spell it, I can never do a spare. Three-minute speech, you're dreaming. Next one down. Conspiracy theories and then dot dot, all birds are robots.

All bets. I would have loved that. I would have been sitting there. Yeah, you would have been enthralled. Next year, could you do the moon landing? All birds are robots was his next idea, Dan's ideas for his speech. Then you wrote my views and crossed that out. You're like, nah, don't have any.

Or that's just not funny. They're too controversial. Next speech idea, pop princess Britney Spears. Oh yeah, that would have been a good one. She would have been front of mind again. High to her fame. Somehow you went from Britney Spears to Helen Clark. Oh my God.

She would have been probably the current Prime Minister. And then your last idea, you wrote why I think 9-11 could have been avoided. Those were all your ideas for your speech Not I don't know how he's going to make that one funny And funny And then you finish with this paragraph Nick has a girlfriend but she's a skank

But last She's changed him already And they've only been together Three days He gave her his pink wafer biscuit For morning tea My God That should be a speech idea

I've got to talk for three minutes about that probably I've changed With any of those, by the way. You went on dinosaurs. We'll have to read that again one time. Yeah, we do. Oh my gosh. Or not.

The world's worth speech. Yeah. I can't believe you wrote it in high school. Intermediate would have still been... Not a real reaction of any of that. That's so crazy. It's all a blur. All right, next week, the show field trip to Dan's mum's place to try and see if there are

any fresh diaries. Oh, God. Can't wait. Clint Megan Dan. Yesterday on the show we were talking about the worst school trips. If you missed it, um, These were some of the best. We went to the dump.

What was the learning points that they took away from the dump out of interest? To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I just know we did look at the piles of rubbish and how do we drive around then headed back to school. We went over to the mall. We threw all the tools that they use to dissect people and like a real good description of how they use all the tools. It went on for like two hours and man.

It was so cold. We went on a Bible camp but I ended up getting sent home because some of the girls decided to bring some of the bad lettuce. And they pulled us all into the dining hall. And they're like, who's been doing this? Like, who's doing it? We're going to stay in here all night until someone comes forward. So I was like, well, this is boring.

I'll come forward. Princeville had to come out and take me home. Wow. That's such a Bible camp thing to happen, eh? Jesus would have forgiven. Of course. Yeah, of course you would. All right.

Lots of texts coming in through now. Yeah, best and worse. Because even if you're calling about the first, of where you went. The juxtaposition between what some people were living through their high school years and what others were doing. Before we go to the calls just quickly, I remember we, as a school trip, we went to the timber museum.

Now, there's nothing more boring than just looking at different types of timber. I remember there was a train, like an old train, that used to transport the timber that was on, like, show. That was the most exciting thing. Did you get to take home something? You know, when you did the, like, Cadbury tour or something? Did you get any wood? No, I didn't get any wood.

No, not at all. Not at the time. No, no, no, no. That's interesting. Yeah. Thought you would have. No. Let's go to Maria.

Morning. Where was the school trip, Maria? I don't remember why, whether it was a geography trip, but yeah, our class went to the Janie Burke Meatwork. Oh, so... Yeah, it was a bit intense, you could say. Why would they do that to kids? Like, it's traumatising.

It is, and yeah, so we had some vomit, some had to walk out. It was like... Yeah, sort of the thing of seeing the animal being killed and then, yeah, broken down. I was like, hmm, okay. What do you want to? Is it like a, I just find it almost like, I honestly find that like really messed up that you'd want it to show. I'm not trying to be rude to the people that work there, but you are an adult that works there. And it's a necessity.

Angers me that kids will be shot. You know, we have movies. They're not allowed to watch PG-13 and programs and stuff, and then you go and see that. Mariah, your parents must have signed a permission slip, I would imagine, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like you could choose to go, you could, you could choose to walk out. So, and it was like, I don't know, it was a right, but it's definitely one of those things that, yes, that was a pretty... I wonder if they'd do that anymore, surely not.

I wonder if she'd prefer to go to the Fangare Pupons as where someone else is text through where their school trip went. Okay, let's see. Stephanie, was it a good school trip or a bad one? Tell us what you did and we'll decide. I guess. Yeah, it was pretty amazing actually. We were meant to go to Fiji, but there was the coup, and so it wasn't safe for us to travel there.

So they changed our trip to the Gold Coast in Australia for our geography trip. Oh, yeah, we did that. Yeah, so we did tourism, so we went to all the theme parks. Oh, God. That's a teacher knowing what they're doing,

we're like, oh, we're geography, and we studied tourism. What school did you go to, Steph? Avondale College in Auckland Okay I wonder if they're still doing that trip Wow that's not bad at all Roscold School Grandma we did the same Went to Gold Coast for Geo

And I remember like the teachers would say goodnight to us at 930 And then we'd sneak out through the basement doors And we'd go out to the towns and club to about one two in the morning And then we get woken up at seven We'd be dog-time But like Lisa she said she went to Belgium Ended up getting drunk and smuggling cigarettes And everyone on the trip got detention for weeks

Oh because of Lisa Come on Lisa Come on, man. So many. Maybe we'll go through a few more. They're still coming through a thick and fast. She would never live that down, eh? No way.

She's that girl. We're talking school trips. If you want to, if you can, think that far back to intermediate in high school, do you look back fondly or with real disappointment at where you ended up being sent on your school trip? Yeah, it's been a real mix bag. We've been talking about freezing works and Vicki, it's your daughter's. school trips? Yeah, they had a really cool trip.

Okay. Yeah, they were lucky enough to be able to go to San Francisco. Wow. What subject? And what do they do? It wasn't even a subject. It was just like they got two trips to choose from at this school, and it was like Rarotonga or San Frans.

And she managed to get into the San Fram one. So they went to places like Apple, Microsoft. Wow. We went to NASA. NASA, Apple, Microsoft. soft. And so what? Yeah. Like, as this a public school, and if so, how much you pay, like, there must be some parents that can't afford to send their kids,

and so they feel left out, right? Yeah, there was about 30 kids that got when they did, like, some fundraising, for them to go. So that's quite cool. And you kind of know the year before, we've got a bit of time to put a money aside for them. This is quite young for them. Did you find it quite hard to have your, like, 11, 10, 11, 12-year-old if they're an intermediate, like go off to an overseas trip without you? I feel a little bit, although that's very me. Yeah.

Yeah, I did, but also I thought, oh, this is right up her alley. Yeah, cool. I know she's going to go have fun. There's a cool group of kids. Yeah. Well, that's great opportunity, eh. Vicki, yeah, your daughter had much better time than Vanessa's son. Where did your son go on an intermediate school trip, Vanessa?

Yeah, we visited Rolliston Prison. Oh, my God. So, they're two different, very different intermediate. They've got to take them to Alcatraz and San Fran, but no. Go on. At least Alcatraz didn't have any prisoners in it anymore. They were the prisoners in the cells? Yeah, there was.

Yeah, we sort of, I was curious, so I went on the trip with him, and yeah, we walked around and looked at them in their cells. It was very odd. What's like a zoo? Most, like looking at... Wow. Got some of these school trips. And then they let the dogs out, they'd hit in, they didn't actually tell us, but they'd hit in contraband around. around and all of a sudden the dogs came out and we were like, what is happening?

But they're just showing how good the dogs were. What do you mean? What do you mean? Did they walk past? Was there a tall guy going and this one's in for murder? If you look in this cell, that one's in for... And did they talk back to you? Did they go, hey, kids, how's it going?

Stay in school. No, they're very well behaved. I think they were like the good behavior, you know. The ones that just steal Lego. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the good criminals did the tour with you. Wow, that's fascinating, Vanessa. Thank you. Wow.

Holy moly. Remember that when we spoke to that prison guard that used to bring the prisoners home to babysit his kids? Yeah, the good prisoners would babysit. And they were like, when we were kids, they used to bring home the inmates. Crazy, huh? Yeah, and then there's somebody, they went to an ostrich farm.

It's just all very, it's a mixed bag, isn't it? I get the scientific nature of the ostrich farm. I really don't understand the prison and the poopons. I really don't. Someone took a bus to Akob. and then they did grave rubbings, which I imagine is like cleaning up all the headstones. Or is it when you get a crayon,

like when you do it with a dry leaf and you like rub a grail over top of the sun? If I'm buried, I don't want some smelly kid coming and doing a grave rubbing on my headstone. You grumpy even after you pass A day. I'd put my fist up through the ground. Holy shit! You made it the whole way through. If you want more,
