This is a podcast from Rover. Crafting their finest content. Preparing the latest in music and celeb news.
Restocking the prize cupboard and sharpening their wit.
And now they're ready.
Put down your coffee.
Fasten your seatbelt and turn up your radio. Because it's time for Clint, Meg and Dan.
Kerry, good morning, being on 6 o'clock,
short week Tuesday.
Yeah, it's a short week.
How good, eh?
Yeah.
Morning, Meg.
Good morning, Daniel.
Looking good this morning.
We're the same T-shirt.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, is that why?
Is that why you say you look great?
Do you have this t-shirt?
I've got a Huffer t-shirt on.
And you have it.
Maybe I copied you subliminally.
You know when you see someone wearing something
and you're just kind of like, I love that.
Who's more likely to copy each other's fashion though?
Me to copy Dan's or him to copy me?
Hmm.
Clem?
Be honest.
I think I'm more likely to see you in one of Meg's dresses.
Okay, yeah, I do like that moomoo you wear.
I love moomoo's.
I mean, it's moomoo's, there's a business idea.
Easy money, coming up at seven and eight this morning.
You'll have a chance to win $10,000 to start your short week
if you had an expensive long weekend.
Feeling refreshed after your baby moon, Meg?
Oh my gosh, do you know what?
I mean, refreshed is like a no,
but that is only because I'm just very, very,
obviously heavily, I'm gonna have a baby in a few weeks,
but my God, it was the best thing ever.
It was just, it was so, I can't,
because I haven't had it before.
I haven't had, like, hung out with my husband
for like more than an hour and a half for a date night.
In years, it was so nice it
was so nice so thank you for whatever money you put in 20 bucks each
Oh god no 15. 20 between us. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. I think it was only 10 from me. We got you an ice cream or something.
Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my gosh. Time for a throwback. 6am throwback for your Tuesday morning
and kick off a short week.
What are we thinking, Tim?
Well, Meg, you go first.
Okay, well, Clint, what day is it today?
It's the third of June.
Ah, June.
Just like the movie Dune.
Oh, far out.
Yeah, just one different letter.
Almost swore.
Yeah.
Just like the movie Dune,
and in the movie Dune is Zendaya, and she has a throwback before she started her acting career.
She was a singer with Replay.
I didn't know this was Zendaya.
Yeah she started as a pop artist and then went to the movies.
Oh my god it's going to be so happy to be this. I love this song in general.
If you gave me 50-50,
like on who must be a millionaire, who sang the song?
I'd be like, well, it's definitely not Zendaya.
Really?
You loved the song,
but you didn't know it was Zendaya.
I find that so strange.
Well, I think she probably just wasn't the Zendaya
we all know her to be today.
Yeah, we thought she was gonna be this big pop star,
and then she started acting, we were kind of all like,
okay, girl, go back to to your singing and like Rihanna
You know she went for a bit of an acting phase with Oceans 11 or whatever she did and now
Oh, that's right. She had a couple of real clangers
Yeah, yeah
Real clangers
So it's just done well
And now I think she
Obviously has proved
How famous she is because she's got the one name so she's definitely like a solid B-lister
and with time she'll find her way into that A-list category.
Well the song I have for a throwback is...
That's on the show this morning again by the way, Meg you're gonna hate that.
The A-lister game before 8 o'clock where we try to decide which celebrities are A, B or C-listers.
Speaking of A-listers, Craig David Clint, and it's a short week this week,
so I thought we could play his smash hit, Seven Days.
["Seven Days"]
What?
Kiwi you is?
I don't know, I found one on the floor and mixed it up.
Amy, join us on the Kiwi jump.
So there's your two options you got Zendaya or the
superstar Craig David. Craig David when you said A-lister though like I mean
I was being sarcastic. Okay because everyone knows who he is. He's like he's on the sing list. There's no way.
Okay good. It's an easy one for me. Yeah I know what you're gonna take me on the plate. Come on it's gotta be Zendaya.
I've realised where I've seen Zendaya sing now.
Oh where?
The Greatest Showman.
Indeed you have.
And I was like oh my god this girl can sing.
That was her first like big breakout role eh.
Oh was that?
Like where she was singing and she sort of came onto the scene.
Zendaya.
But I was just like oh my god can every actress just sing as well?
And then realised, okay, yeah,
she actually was a pop star back in the day.
Is that the only song she had?
That was her big, no, she had more,
but that was the big hit, that was the big hit.
11 years ago when that came out.
And she had Butterflies, I think.
Something new?
Mm-hmm.
What's this?
What's this then?
Oh, that's a little bit.
And this one.
I wanna try something new.
With Chris Brown
He's dead, he's just eye rolling
He eye rolled you
For what?
I don't know, he just eye rolled you
What's this one here?
What's this one here?
Here we go
I think I'm within the
Sorry, that was like an involuntary
That was just an involuntary.
That was just an absolute natural reaction.
Hey, does she have any more songs?
Oh look, she does have one.
Let's have a listen to a good dance.
Oh god, here we go. Radio session playing another song.
Bloody loser.
Sorry, sorry. I need to fix my eyes straight from now on.
Right.
There is a bounce back to the Sabrina, the 3-3 the 3333, I'll show you boys in the background.
Have you seen this video this morning? This is what will break the internet this morning.
Sabrina Carpenter is standing on the side of the road. I think it's a teaser. I don't
think it's for new music. I think it's probably for a music video. Maybe Bed Cam? We never
got one. Where she's standing on the side of a road hitchhiking. From, so you see her from behind.
Oh, she can afford an Uber.
And she's wearing, um, she's wearing, um,
even shorts that are so short that she cannot be wearing underwear underneath.
What do you mean?
Well, if she's not wearing underwear then you can obviously see...
Yes, so let me show you from below.
Here we go.
This is, uh, Sabrina Carpenter hitchhiking on the side of the road.
That could be a G.
Yeah, she's got a cheap hanger on there.
Well then she has a cheap hanger on, but she hasn't got full underwear.
I will say this though.
And that truck driver just drove straight past her. That's also very unrealistic.
Very unrealistic.
I will say though, I'm looking at they're like denim pants, very short denim shorts.
But like in a G string.
They could be undies themselves.
Yes, so maybe she just lost her pants.
Like if I wore them they'd disappear right up my bottom. You wouldn't see any of those.
Yeah you've got quite a like hungry bum though. Radio stations a few years back used to just
be like with froth for a reenactment. Oh god and especially if Dan had to go hit
trike and wear exactly that. Oh do we have any more hoodies Dan? Do we have a hoody as
Dan? We're going to have to wear some Carpenter shorts and he has to stay out until he gets picked up by a truck driver?
She's wearing a little white shirt that she's like tied into a crop top so it's tummy out above.
I tell you what Clint, the truck will definitely drive past me if it's driving past Sabrina.
So hey if you want to see that Sabrina to 3343 I think it's the start of a music video possibly.
There's a tiny clip of audio at the end. Do we have it there, Clint?
I don't know.
I'm getting into a track, my testicles falling out of that.
Yeah, we do.
I'm still thinking about Dan and whether Bella's gonna be able to film from behind or just gives him a tripod.
Oh boy.
That's how it starts. So that'll be the start of either a new song or a video.
Okay, one guess of what you think is the top comment
under that video, by the way.
Top comment, number one.
It's probably you going,
you're not wearing any knickers.
No. No.
No, it's gonna be a pun.
It's gonna be like a funny pun.
No, it's a man saying she's not even that hot.
Brilliant.
Oh!
Oh!
And is he an old guy in his like 60s?
Isn't that so funny?
Unbelievable.
Jimmy, I'll show you what he looks like.
She's not even that old.
Oh, I was saying that this man just said she's not even that old.
Oh my god, look at the guy!
Can we get a bounce back on him as well?
Can we get a bounce back on his face?
So, yeah, okay.
He looks like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.
You're a dick, Sabrina.
We don't want to be mean to him, but he's being mean to her.
Nah, if you're gonna be mean, and him, but we're gonna be mean to her. If you're gonna be mean,
and we're not being mean to him,
we're just putting his face on blast,
cause he's drawn the attention to himself.
So, so bold on the internet.
Unbelievable, right?
Okay, so Sabrina will give you the bounce back
to her in her tiny shorts,
and hopefully, if producer Nibby can sort it out,
a photo of the guy with the top comment
saying she's not even that hot.
And if you want a photo of me wearing the tiny shorts, text DAN334.
You can say dad, daddy.
Yeah, I'll just quickly take a photo of them.
Wanting to get to know every person that listens to our show early in the morning,
the 6 o'clockers, with this.
Can I get, get, get to know, know, know, you better, better, baby? we're getting to know Ashley.
Ashley is currently milking cows.
21 years old, drives the Ford Ranger.
Nickname, Pocket Rocket, that would probably make sense, there must be little.
Single and has two dogs and a cat.
Morning Ash.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning, have you got one of those
new fangled fancy milking machines,
those like robotic ones,
or are you all hands manual?
No, we're 30 aside hearing bones, so manual.
Manual, and I tell you what,
I've always said that's the best way to do it.
And what time did the alarm go off this morning Ash?
Four.
Oh yeah, about the same.
Same as us. Not too bad.
Alright Ash, do I... I think she doesn't knock off a medaille though.
Yeah true, I think she just keeps going.
Ash, you've got two dogs and a cat.
I see the cat at the moment is called Ketan
because you haven't got a name, so we're going to come up with a name for your cat.
Okay. And then you're going to choose the one that's your favourite.
Oh, that's it. I love this one.
And it doesn't mean that you have to name the cat that, but maybe you might.
Okay. I probably should get a name for it. choose the one that's your favorite. Oh, that's, I love this one. And it doesn't mean that you have to name the cat that, but maybe you might.
Okay, so that's what I'm gonna do.
I probably should get a name for it.
You probably should, okay.
Can you at least describe the cat?
Yeah.
So she's very noisy, like she talks all the time.
She's gray with like ginger and white specks all over her.
Gray with ginger and white,
she's a female and she talks a lot.
Sounds gorgeous.
Okay, Dan, this is your expertise.
Would you like to go first or would you like to throw it to Clint?
Now I'm all about like weird names for cats.
I hate giving them a normal name.
So I'm gonna go...
Just take your time.
I'm gonna go Schnogli.
Schnogli.
Oh my god, that's the worst name ever!
That's cute!
Schnogli.
Come on, hello Schnogli.
Like that.
Right.
Okay?
Right.
So I've gone for the left field.
Can I do a suggestion for an M name?
Because all my animals have M names.
Okay, we in Clem will now do M names.
No, no, no, sorry.
Mogli.
No, okay.
No, stop it.
So I was gonna go Molly. Okay. Mogli and names. Okay, we and Clem will now do M names. Yeah. No, no, no, sorry. Mowgli. No, okay. No, stop it.
I was gonna go Molly. Okay.
Mowgli and Molly.
You're gonna go Molly. Molly.
I'm going to go Meryl.
Oh, is your cat almost dead?
I think Meryl's known to be talkative.
She's a talkative actress.
Is she? I don't think anybody goes Meryl Streep, what's she?
Talkative.
She talks.
Yeah.
She talks a bit, so you've got Meryl, Molly or Shmoggy.
Moggy.
What's your favourite?
So shit.
So shit, yeah.
Honestly, I'd probably go with Molly.
Yeah.
Well done, man.
Thank you very much.
Wow, we missed her.
I feel like I just got in a fight with children,
I'm being praised for winning.
I feel like we missed a really good M name, Meg.
Meg, oh yeah, talkative.
You could have named it after Meg.
Bugger.
Well, no one pitched it.
No.
Yeah, bugger.
Oh well.
Okay, thanks Ash, we're gonna send you out
a price pack thanks to Zed.
Because they have stuff there that you can buy.
No, brilliant. Sure. Me goes, we're gonna send you in, then Chuck's right on hold, Because they have stuff there that you can buy. Yeah sure.
Meg goes we're going to send you and then Chuck's right on hold and I'm waiting for
a thanks and then she just made Ashley look like a bitch.
Ashley would you like to say thank you?
You're so bad.
You probably did Ash but Meg put you on hold.
Everyone thought you were really bad.
Go on Ash you b.
Sorry Ash.
There she goes.
Anyway. Ash your B. Sorry Ash. There she goes. Okay, new six ounce Magic A.Z.
A short and punchy coffee just like this ad.
And not just that, they have like Mech's head stuff.
Yeah.
They've got stuff there man.
They've got good stuff.
Brilliant.
Mike Hoskin joins us next.
Oh cool, Mike's Minute.
Yeah, he comes in and does a bit of a wrap of the weekend.
It was a long weekend so I'm guessing
he's got lots to cover off.
Oh, he's still only got a minute though, according to the name of the bit.
Yeah, so great.
Mike's minute.
He very rarely keeps it under a minute though, isn't he?
Oh, really?
Oh, well you just tell him before he comes in if he could either speed it up or cut some
stuff out.
Okay, I'll tell him that, Clint.
Okay, and a special guest.
Oh, normally on Monday, but being a short week, he's here on a Tuesday to wrap up the
weekend that was...
Mike Hosking. It is my segment on your show, Mike's Minute.
What are you going to win at the radio awards this week, Mike?
I don't go anymore. I win them so much that I don't even bother.
That's literally just another award, which I know I will.
And you guys won't, so...
Yeah, yeah, I mean, well, but we are nominated, so we could win.
But let's be honest, Clint, you're nominated, but you're not going to win it, baby.
Why would you know who's not gonna win best breakfast?
You because you weren't even nominated for it.
Wasn't I?
No.
That'd be a first.
Yes.
Hit the jams baby.
Right.
We kick off Mike's Minute this week with the King's Honours List.
Yes, it's out for another year.
Among the New Zealanders getting the nod from the King are comedian Dai Henwood, cricketer
Tim Southey and children's television presenter Suzy Cato. Susie joins me on the line right
now. Morning Susie. Hello my friend. Right, thank you thank you very much for the
singing. I just wanted to know this morning you must be very proud of
yourself Susie. Yeah it's our time. Sorry I'm hanging up on her but that's
absolutely too early for that sort of singing.
Intolerable.
Speaking of intolerable, David Seymour has been sworn in as Deputy Prime Minister, taking
over from Winston Peters.
God help us.
He was asked at a press conference over the weekend what he plans to focus on first.
We'll focus here on the fish and chips.
That is the key issue.
Obviously it's great to save money and then waste it in governments and get the cost of living crisis under control.
But also we've just got to focus a bit on the fish and chips right now, that's the key.
Yes, the focus is apparently fish and chips. David joins me on the line right now.
Do you think that is the main issue for New Zealand?
Well, I think the real question is...
No, that is the question. So do you think we can afford to worry about fish and chips?
Well, my question is who's weak? Well, New Zealand. Well, the answer is obviously yes, but here's is the question. So do you think we can afford to worry about fish and chips? Well, my question is who's weak?
Well, New Zealand.
Well, the answer is obviously yes,
but here's a better question.
No, answer my question.
Let me give you a better question.
No.
Can the Crown, can the government
deliver the services that people expect and require
while also taking less?
Okay, look, I'm hanging up on him as well.
He's gonna do well in politics, isn't he?
And finally, Sydney Sweeney has come up with a novel way
of connecting with her fans by selling bottles,
wait for it, of her own bath water.
And guess what, I've managed to get my hands on a bottle,
so I'm just gonna have a sip right now, here we go.
Oh my goodness me, look, if I'm honest,
that tastes like soap with a little bit of ass
and a hint of regret.
And here's the thing, if I wanted to have that flavor combo in my mouth,
I could have just licked Clinton Randall's face.
And on that note, that is Mike's Minute for another week.
I'm Mike Oskie, Newstalk ZB.
Happy days.
I think we'll all be happy to know that Mike
might not be at the Radio Awards.
We don't have to see him after the...
Let's actually just test that.
I'm just going to lick your face now Clinton,
to see if it does taste like regret, soap and ass.
It's been more than a minute.
Oh my god, oh my, oh my, they're running.
Okay.
Come here you big boy!
Oh my goodness.
And he's gonna get eased.
Oh it tastes like...
What's that?
Fake tan, is that what it is?
I don't think he's able to fake tan at the moment because he's doing laser hair removal.
Yeah. Well, now I can still spritz it on my face.
No, you were right there, Mike. Congratulations.
No, I thought it was. It tastes nice.
Okay, Roll Call Roulette is next.
Hawaiian Sunset, I think that was.
No, I think it's Black Magic or something.
You've gone too dark there. Black Magic.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Let's go. Well called roulette.
All right, myself, Megan Dan,
are going to hit you with three news stories
and then throw out a very specific type of person
that we need to call on all eight hundred at the edge.
Person that gets someone to call for their topic first wins.
You might have heard the word, you might not have.
I think surely you have by this point, Labooboos.
Yeah.
Now I have heard of it,
and I've heard it's a craze with kids.
It's a little like sharp toothed,
little figurine that you can get,
and you can get lots of different types of Labooboos,
and they hang off your bag,
and they come in a box that is not see through,
so you don't know what one you're getting when you buy them.
And because of that, the craze has been wild,
especially on TikTok, people buying one, and opening it in a video and seeing what they get and love the time.
They go viral especially if they say I like all of these except this one I hate this one
and they always get that one.
I saw a cat opening one on TikTok I think it was and he opened it he'd already had it
and he opened it and he like burst into tears.
Well why would you buy two?
Because if you mean to tell them about
who you are as a person,
and then they send you one
that relates to your personality or not?
No, I don't think so.
I thought that was the personal connection
that made it different to other toys.
No, you just go and pick one out of a box.
You just go and grab a box.
Oh!
No, you just go, that would be fun.
That's dumb because if you were like,
all right, I'm the type of person that does this.
Like if you filled out five questions,
and then he goes, okay, we're sending you the black one.
It's a great business in that Clint, but absolutely not, you just go and pick one out at Popmart.
No, he's come up with a great idea.
They are sold out at the moment, I wouldn't look online and cheat, but they are sold out.
But I just want to say that they added 400 million US dollars to Popmart's 1.8 billion dollar revenue
and just in the first half of last year alone
6.870 million sold in just these little dolls. It's crazy. Hey
They're not reinventing the wheel either. They're just like a toy that you clip onto your bed. It's the same old thing
It's a lucky dip but for adults. Yeah and it combined with a collect them all because they're a six. So I'm looking for
Somebody that has bought them has bought into the limbo phase
You love them you buy them them, you want them.
Crazy.
Thank you for being crazy.
Lisa from K-pop group.
She started it, aye.
She started the trend.
And she was on White Lotus.
Yeah, I think she got snapped wearing one and then all of a sudden.
It was done.
I'm looking for someone that has previously been on the King's Honours list because the
King's Honours were released over the weekend.
Dai Henwood, can we hear?
Cricket Tim Salthy was in it and Susie Cato, Jordan's presenter.
She was one of the people that was honoured in the King's Honours list this year.
So I was just wanting to know if there's anybody listening right now,
doesn't even have to be this year, but anytime that has had some sort of King or Queen honour.
Awesome.
Oh, so Queens or King's Honours.
Yeah, they don't even have to be a sir.
I think you can be like an order of merit
and stuff like that.
There's an Australian man,
his name is Jackson Italiano from Sydney.
He beat the world record for the most pull-ups in 24 hours.
Previous record was 7,700.
Holy moly.
And he did 8,008 in 24 hours.
He raised money for charity. seems like a nice guy.
Was he doing the knee one? Like the girls one?
I haven't seen him physically do it. You know how you see them at CrossFit?
They're almost like just swinging around and around the bar. Not really sure how they validated but I guess
if you are from Get Us World Records, they'd be pretty pedantic.
Yeah they would.
So I'd like to speak to someone who has done some sort of physical activity for 24 hours or more. Seemed like a very specific type of hard out person that
would commit to that. There's a lot of things that happen in COVID that people did challenges
and stuff you know because they were bored in lockdown. We've done a 24 hour karaoke
challenge before. That was my last pregnancy. Yeah. Raised a lot of money for a girl with cancer which is really cool. Okay so we're looking for somebody who has fallen into
the Labubu craze, tell us about them, you have them, you own them, you want them, someone who's
been honored by the Queen's All Kings list, and somebody who has done something physical for 24
hours. Call us now, that's it.
We were looking for somebody who is into the LabooBoo craze
that made 870 million American dollars for PotMart
just in their first half of last year.
It's only grown bigger since then.
We're gonna be looking at the billions.
Have you got one?
Do you want one?
Do you know somebody that is into them?
Yeah, apparently since they were released, Meg,
I've just seen $1.8 billion they've earned for the company.
Yeah, I said that.
$1.8 billion!
Yeah.
Nearly $2 billion!
That is crazy.
But it is just a toy that it connects to your handbag.
I think the key is finding someone like Lisa
from White Lotus and Blackpink.
Yeah, just one person.
Who is using the product, wearing the product,
and then all of a sudden people go,
oh, and if you're that influential,
then everyone will want it.
It's like when Post Malone wore a pair of Crocs,
they would have like, gardeners, you know,
elderly shoe.
And then Post Malone wore one pair,
and all of a sudden everyone's wearing Crocs.
Yeah, that was, I think when it took off,
Justin Bieber then had his own pair as well.
So true.
But I guess as a new brand, it must be so scary
to give a million dollars to Kim Kardashian or whoever
to start wearing your product
and not knowing if you're ever gonna see the return.
I was the King's Honours list over the weekend as well,
so I just wanted to know
if there's anybody that's listening right now,
and you'd have to be pretty special.
I don't know if I will get anyone
that's been honoured by the King or the Queen
over the years on the King's or Queen's Honours list.
Because there's a lot of people that have been named
like Sir, I know, or Dame, Jacinda Ardern,
she was one a couple of years ago.
So is there anyone listening that's been honoured
by the Queen?
And after a world record for the most pull-ups in 24 hours
was broken by Jackson, a Sydney lad,
it's now 8,008 is the current record if you want to beat it.
I'd love to know has anyone ever done a 24 hour challenge?
We did 24 hour karaoke.
We did.
Yeah, on the show.
Yeah.
Before.
Not too much of a voice left after that.
I think we did on Friday, which is probably just as well,
Thursday through to Friday morning.
That was wild we did that.
Dan, you would have loved that.
It's like out of all the things we've done
that you would have. I came along, I lost my voice that day.
Really?
Again, that's the only other time I've partially lost my voice was because I was singing too much.
Oh my gosh, did you come and help us out? I don't even remember you being there.
Oh gosh, yeah, I know. I think I was there when you were sleeping Meg.
I literally slept for about 45 minutes. So you two have that one...
I was there for 45 minutes.
That was the worst idea as well because they they had this hotel that was sponsoring it.
And it was just down the road,
and they were like, oh, you can actually go have a rest,
because as long as someone from the team
was singing all the time,
not all three of us had to be singing,
then it was, it still counted.
And I was like, oh, we're almost there, but you go on.
And I went and lay down for an hour and a half, two hours,
and I woke up feeling like death. And I was like, I should have just sold it off. Once you stopped, Dave, but you go on. And I went and lay down for like an hour and a half, two hours, and I woke up feeling like death.
And I was like, I should have just sold it off.
Once you stopped, Dave, it was much worse.
Yeah.
I've had a text come in from Lisa about the Labooboo
saying that the kids want one, but they're really expensive.
They are expensive, aye.
They're like stupid little.
50 bucks for a little fluffy toy thing that you hang off.
Hang off your bag.
Yeah.
Which is the cool colour to have?
Is there like people go, oh, that's the cool one. It just depends on what you like to wear, I guess, so it matches your bag. Yeah. Which is the cool colour to have? Is there like people go, oh, that's the cool one,
you got the cool one.
It just depends on what you like to wear, I guess,
so it matches your look.
I think white's pretty popular, but um.
I think we've gone too hard this morning.
I think we've gone too hard.
No one has a Labooboo,
cause that's how sought after they are
in the country at the moment.
An honours list, you have to be kind of famous.
And not many people doing 24 hour challenges.
I know somebody who's been on the Honours List.
And I know a couple of people that have got Labooboos.
I was following a lady on the weekend
that had two on her bag, greedy B.
But I mean, there's lots of people
that have them in New Zealand.
They've only just recently sold out.
So I think there's a lot of people
that have got their hands on them.
It's definitely one of those things, right,
that you have somebody like a kid
or a teen telling mom or dad I want a Lab booboo and they're like, oh get this thing
and they'll go and shake it out and they go, 50 bloody dollars?
Not a chance.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Let's go.
The Edge's Clint, Meg and Dan.
Win $10,000 right now with the Edge 10K.

Dan's had a practice run,, little dummy run behind the scenes.
He got eight out of 10.
This is doable.
He would have got nine,
but he repeated one of his answers twice,
which you can't do.
You get 30 seconds, Meg will give you a letter,
then she'll hit you with 10 questions.
Every answer must start with that letter.
You get all 10, 10 grand is yours.
This is the easiest one we've done so far, I reckon.
You can pass and come back.

just took your time thought about it gave an answer and didn't panic and had you have just shaved an extra second here or there through that trip, you would
have done it.
I reckon, my goodness.
Wow.
Our boss was listening then and I reckon parts of him were puckering.
Pass.
Specifically.
Oh my goodness.
Jules, you have to try and get through again and play again, okay?
Because you can keep playing as many times as you want.
You're a weapon.
And that is your game.
She didn't even hesitate.
My kids have actually been playing it, it's called Bus Stop and it's the same type of thing.
So we've been doing it at night doing it.
Oh that's so good.
It's called a game called Bus Stop.
Just training for your moment.
Yeah and I bloody got through. Damn!
You gotta keep trying, you gotta keep trying. You gotta play again, Jules, honestly, that was phenomenal.
She's so good.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
You know Theo Vaughan, he was in the country,
I think last year, it's a real shame we didn't get
to have him in, but he's our podcaster,
and gets a lot of really interesting guests on.
He had a guy who was a graduate student
of Berkeley University, and was talking about a study,
like a gay test, trying and work out how much testosterone you have in your body and
therefore how more likely you are. That just surely has nothing to do with being gay or not.
Well take a listen to the test because I thought it was a strange one but then I'm not gay so I don't know.
So if you are you could listen and give a score and go, yeah, I've heard that.
Or yeah, it actually works on me or it doesn't work on me.
Or it's BS.
Yeah, it could be completely BS and then we move on.
Years ago when I was a graduate student at Berkeley,
I was part of a study, I wasn't the main author,
that looked at finger length ratios
and homosexuality in men and women.
If you hold up your right hand,
my ring finger here is a little bit longer
than my pointer finger.
That is the typical heterosexual male pattern.
Now people are going to be like, this is bullshit.
Listen, this has been replicated more than five times in humans.
This pointer finger is smaller than the ring finger.
It's called the D2 to D4 ratio. Scientists are super nerdy.
If you look at gay men, men that identify as gay, that difference is much more pronounced.
It's directly related to how much testosterone
you were exposed to in utero
when you were in your mommy's belly.
So this guy's got like seven and a half million followers.
So what, so he gets to be longer?
He's a scientist, professor of neurobiology.
A profisher.
Yeah, I think he has a typo in his bio. Anyway, Romberg indeed.
Yeah neuroscience research and education. So what he's saying essentially is if
your pointing finger is longer. No no no I think if you're holding up your hand
and maybe there are a lot of people in cars doing this right now you're looking
around you got someone else holding their hand up your ring finger if you're
looking at the back of your hand, is slightly longer than
your pointer finger, right?
Yeah.
I think it's less-
In gay men and women, he's saying that that pointer finger is even shorter, so it's even
more pronounced and it's much, much more noticeable, whereas you might go, oh, they're kind of
neck and neck, like they're quite similar.
What if they're exactly the same length?
Yeah, that's kind of what he's saying then.
From what I can see, it's different for lesbians actually, Clint.
Oh really? I've just looked up some studies found for lesbians actually, Clint. Oh really?
I've just looked up some studies found that lesbians have a lower 2D to 4D ratio, whereas
gay men have a higher 2D and 4D ratio.
Is this a thing?
Like an actual study?
It says it's not a reliable indicator and not definite, but it seems to be something.
If someone's getting a PhD from doing this, then come on.
Someone goes bullshit, they've just texted, I'm a gay man and I have straight man,
in quote, fingers, according to this guy.
But that would be more desirable,
I'd imagine, to other gay men,
if you've got more of a straight set up, you know?
I don't know, I mean, my fingers are very much neck and neck.
Yeah, so- No, no, that one's shorter.
Really? Yeah.
Does that mean, what does that mean? Wait, face your hand towards me. So your ring finger is longer.
Your ring finger is longer? Jeez I don't know if they studied that.
I've got some real serious issues. Alright, okay, if you are gay, have you heard of this before?
Is this like, you know, you go, oh yeah,
you guys are talking about something
that I learned about a long time ago.
And is your ring finger much shorter,
sorry, your pointer finger much shorter
than your ring finger?
Ruby's texture is saying, I'm a straight woman,
looks like I'm a gay man now though.
There you go.
Yeah.
Okay, should we take some calls on it?
Yeah, well Liam, you're a man.
G'day.
G'day Liam.
Yeah well, you guys sort of have me questioning myself now
because I've just had a look down at my hand
and my pointer finger's a good centimeter or two longer
than my arm.
Which means you're a lesbian.
So there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that.
There's nothing wrong with that, Liam.
Okay, wait, so lesbians have a longer pointer finger
and gay men have a much shorter pointer finger.
Apparently.
So Liam, you're a lesbian now.
Okay, good on ya.
I mean, there are outliers to every study, right?
It's not gonna be 100%,
but I guess you'd have to have a pretty common hit rate
for you to start putting this these sort of stats or
facts out into the world yeah let's hear from some people okay what do you
reckon? Call them BS on this one or is there something to it? Gracie Abrams
that's so true that's a strange song to be playing right now this is a study
that has supposedly been replicated over five times.
This was the study, if you missed it, about how to identify a straight man or woman to
a gay man or woman.
Years ago when I was a graduate student at Berkeley, I was part of a study, I wasn't
the main author, that looked at finger length ratios and homosexuality in men and women.
If you hold up your right hand, my ring finger here is a little bit longer
than my pointer finger.
That is the typical heterosexual male pattern.
If you look at gay men, men that identify as gay,
that difference is much more pronounced.
It's directly related to how much testosterone
you were exposed to in utero
when you were in your mommy's belly.
I wanna know how pronounced it has to be for you to go were in your mommy's belly. I want to know how pronounced it is.
It has to be.
Yeah.
For you to go, hey, yes.
Maybe I am.
You know, because mine are very, very similar.
I think next time I hang out with my gay friends,
I'm going to go, can I blow your hand for a sec?
It's going to be, we sit down, grab a pint,
and then I just hold their hands and just check it out.
Because I don't know.
They might also think you're heading in through a threesome.
Yeah.
See?
Careful how Jim's being. Yeah, yeah.
Hey Kevin.
Morning guys, how are you?
Morning Kevin.
Now may I ask, are you gay yourself?
Yes I am indeed.
Okay, so do you believe in this? Do you know another way to see?
I have my own theory, I've had it for quite a while.
What's your theory?
Where I believe that if you're a second
son and you're left-handed, there's a good chance that you're gay because I've come across
so many gay guys who have, technically speaking, who have been second son and left-handed.
And I had a client come in the other day and he's a good friend of mine and he goes, oh
you're left-handed? I said, yeah, second son. He goes, oh my god, I'm second son too. I
said, oh. And he goes, oh and David, which is his husband, he goes, he you're the second, I said yeah second son, he goes, oh my god I'm second son too, I said oh, and he goes, oh and David,
which is his husband, he goes, he's bloody left handed
and he's a second son as well.
I can't believe he goes.
This is my second son.
And you know what, I'll take it Kevin, I'll take three.
So second son.
Yeah, Laura's third.
Yeah, Laura's third.
Okay, wow, okay.
Good on you Kevin.
Yeah, it's a good question to ask,
it's a good question to ask, you know, gay guy,
I'm not sure about the women, but just to say,
are you second son or are you left handed?
And Kevin, is your pointer finger
much shorter than your ring finger?
Oh, no.
Okay.
Not much.
No, I'll tell you about even.
Okay.
Okay.
So the second son theory is probably more accurate.
Okay, well thanks Kevin.
There might be people listening going,
oh my God, Kevin's right. Anybody in here second son? No. First son, first son, first son. Yeah.
Okay, let's go to Jackie because, morning Jackie. Good morning, how are you? Good, were you doing
the test at the lights this morning? No, yeah, I was just other dude in the car next to me.
He was checking his hands, so he was like, I was just driving, I couldn't put my hand down.
We just asked if you are driving to work this morning,
keep your eyes on the road and your fingers at the same time.
I think what you'll be seeing is a lot of people
holding the wheel and then just flicking their fingers up.
It is, I hate to do both,
but I've got one longer than the other.
Okay.
I think if you're chicken your hands to work out if you're gay or not you're probably not.
Like I imagine you know.
Oh that's great well thanks Jackie.
I don't know if we've proved that wrong or not.
Hey and also can you take some text on the old second child left hand, second boy left hand, left hand of Terry from Kevin.
Who knows, maybe there's something in that.
Maybe you are a second child left hand and you're straight. Please dispel the myth.
The what?
The what?
Please dispel the myth.
Oh you said the NIF. And I was like, do you know what that saying is?
I didn't even notice I did.
No you definitely did.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Stinky boot.
Candel with Meg.
Catch Rover, Winner Cupra.
Pull off the ultimate heist by downloading our free app Rover.
It's a $70,000 car by the way.
Damn, $70,000.
We drove in a, oh my goodness me.
That was the 90 or $95,000. Oh my God. Shut up, I sat in a car that was worth $95,000! Did we drive in a... Oh my goodness me, it's like... No, that was the $90,000 or $95,000.
Oh my god.
Shut up.
I sat in a car that was worth $95,000 and nobody told me.
Yeah.
I had sticky fingers.
Oh yeah.
Because she's just...
She's like a toddler.
Why do you have sticky fingers?
I remember just thinking, oh...
Did you have a donut or something?
I did a wet wipe.
That's all.
Okay.
I didn't know.
I didn't know it was worth $95,000.
Don't worry.
The one that, if you win by listening to R,000 don't worry the one that if you win by
listening to Rola won't be the one that Meg gets sticky fingers. Yes, no they'll clean it at least.
Right, Cynthia Erevo she was Alphaba and Wicked she's gonna be Alphaba and Wicked for good and
she's done interviews and I pulled out a couple of quotes that I found most interesting one of
them she said she's able and Dan you know The Wicked stage show,
whereas me and Clint Dove, we've never seen it.
So this is gonna be a big surprise.
Yeah, I mean, millions of people do.
They have to like, it's one of the most popular musicals.
Oh yeah, few people, not millions of people.
I only know one person that's seen it.
Okay, well you don't obviously know many people.
But I'm really excited for the second movie
because I know nothing.
For some reason, I knew quite a bit about the first,
second, I have no idea this is an act.
And she said she's able to access her rage more.
The scent I wore changed.
So she changed her perfume when she became-
I'll have to just do that.
They tap into the character through scent.
It's a really weird thing.
I think Austin Butler did it with Elvis.
He like had to, one of the things he used to get
into character was he'd spray the perfume
that Elvis used to wear onto his skin whenever they'd say action, just so he'd like...
So she would have worn something like kind of light, fruity, feminine, fun, like lighthearted at the start.
Now she's moved into like a deeper, I guess more rageful perfume.
She said the makeup also changed, little shifts that bring you a more mature version of who Alfaba becomes, she said.
And she is delicious in this next one.
I don't know what that means, but I'm very excited for it.
She's quite impressed in the first one, I like that.
Yeah.
I haven't really found herself.
Yeah, really exciting.
And then she said with the outrage over her playing
Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, which is a stage show,
she said, you can't please everyone.
It is legitimately a three day performance
at the Hollywood Bowl where I get to sing my face off.
So hopefully they'll come and realize,
oh, it's musical, the gayest place on earth.
So she's kind of like, it's a stage show.
It's called Jesus Christ Superstar Never Ends Singing.
It's not even, don't take it so seriously.
It's not a biblical.
Yeah, I've never seen that.
Is it not really, it's not a religious time production.
That's a tabloid, but yeah, I think it's an Andrew Lloyd Webber show yeah, and that's what they did I've done it in the stage show the Technicolor
Dreamcoat that one no no no that's Joseph. Oh gosh
Biblical character
Stage show no, it's not that songs not in Jesus Christ Superstar
What is it a piss take like would like Chris Oh's go and watch Jesus Christ Superstar and then get?
Is it a piss take? Like would like Chris Oh's go and watch Jesus Christ and get
insulted. Like Book of Mormon. I don't think so. No, it's like a story I think of how Jesus dies, I think essentially so it's like that story
It's got like... So where did Joseph's dream coat come from? It's just a completely different musical name.
Joseph and the Technicoloured Dreamcoat. Is that what it's called?
Yes, Joseph and the Amazing Technicoloured Dreamcoat. Red and yellow and I think that's not quite the song. No, that's now the Rainbow song.
Okay Meg, your wires are not joining up anywhere.
The thing is there's a lot of musicals around the world where different sexes play the characters.
So for instance, Matilda, the musical, on stage, trunchball is usually played by a male actor.
Really?
Yeah, so they put them up in makeup because they need the st stature of a male so they're much bigger than all the kids so yeah I
think that they do sort of go with that paradigm a lot in musicals. Interesting.
Peter Pan's quite often a girl. Maybe she played Jesus because she had like beautiful
wavy permed hair because not a lot of dudes can rock that sort of like. She's bold isn't she?
In the Wicked movie yes. She is now Yeah, right. She's a great actress though.
Yeah, yeah, I just love everything she does.
I'm a huge fan of Cynthia.
Big, big fan.
November is the wait, right?
Yes.
Before the second one comes out.
She must have a B-day though, eh?
Birthday?
No, a B-day.
A B-day.
Cynthia Erivo, because you know B-day.
Because you know how she has those long fingernails.
How does she wipe her bottom with those? I've seen people doing on TikTok, not actually wiping themselves,
but like making it with a peep.
She's always got really long fingernails.
OK, we don't need to get into your guys' search history
and think of your TikTok algorithms.
It's been a busy show. Time to slow things down
before we give you another chance to win $10,000
with easy money coming up in 20 minutes.
A little coffee catch up.
I was telling you guys about how I've started
buying women's clothes.
I've just realised, honestly, the ratio of like
a woman's rack of clothes to a men's rack is four to one.
Easy.
You go to an op shop, you go to like H&M.
H&M, you women have your own floor, like your own level.
We share our level with the children.
I don't know why this is a new thing.
You've always liked women's racks.
Yeah.
He's always talking about them, isn't he Meg?
Yeah, he's always talking about women's racks.
I was at the warehouse with my wife yesterday,
and she was looking at some stuff, and I looked at the guy's stuff in like two seconds,
both racks done, and my wife was looking around looking,
and I started looking for a bit, just trying to find some things for her.
And then I found this like vest, and I was like, oh, this is cool. I love this vest
It's a cream. So I just got the larger size that they had. It's like a 18
I think I'm more a woman's 20, but they didn't have a 20
Okay, so it's tight
Are they numbered?
And then I found this jacket that I'm wearing now and this is a 24
So I think I sit between a woman's 20 and 24.
And I picked up like two or three things.
And then my brother goes, that's cool.
Where'd you get that from?
And I said, oh, you probably wouldn't get into it.
You'd hate it.
We could share it out of like, share out.
My wife said that.
I literally bought a size.
She put it on.
It's a, like, probably I think a bit too big for her,
but I went a little smaller and she went a little bigger.
So we can both wear it and just share it now.
That really accentuates your rack.
Thank you.
It's really nice.
Jessica.
I'm kind of with you,
and like the lace feels so nice against your skin
on your bum, it's so nice.
Yeah, I think when you start brining down
the woman's lingerie, there is an issue.
But also like when your mates see,
like even I walked in and Nips goes,
man, I love your fit.
I don't have to worry about him bumping into me wearing the same thing
because he's not shopping at the women's section of the warehouse.
True. Yeah.
Maybe Caitlin in the office.
Yeah, Caitlin in the office.
Might have the same sort of thing.
Yeah, I just want to know, I went under the edge.
Is there anybody,
men in general listening right now that is
an adult still into remote control cars because I've gone
down an ADHD hole where I'm wanting to buy a remote control car.
Oh, into the watches?
Oh, they're done. It's sort of a weekly, bi-weekly rotating thing.
My current obsession, literally if you go through my search history on Google,
it's all remote control cars. I went into a place on the weekend, there was a guy
that served me with a lisp.
You were...
He was still...
It's irrelevant to the story, completely irrelevant to the story, we don't need to know that.
He was saying, you know, if you want to go racing, there's plenty of things you can do to get remote control cars, there's plenty.
And he was the loveliest guy, and he knew so much about remote control cars.
Still nothing, the story doesn't change whether you're a lisp or not.
It was just rememberable, wasn't it? I don't know his name, but I knew he had a lisp.
Did you buy a car off him?
Definitely not.
Because they were quite expensive.
So I'm looking for a second hand.
But I'm still...
The petrol ones?
No, no, no, electric.
But I'm still kind of dipping my toes in the market
to see if there's anybody that, like any adults
that are playing remote control cards.
Right.
Because I don't want to be the only adult there with kids.
So...
Well, he might not be the only virgin.
Mm.
OK, forget this thing.
And also, you don't mind playing with children.
You've done that before with your video games.
Yes, true.
Now that needs prefacing.
Dan was playing a video game with a kid.
And the kid and Dan got along really well.
He was in Australia, and I didn't know him,
but we just met online. And he asked me how old I was
and he was like 15 so I said I was 16.
No, didn't you say 18?
I can't remember now.
A little bit older.
Dan made himself younger because he was right,
the kid would want to stop playing with him
if he found out he was a grown man.
Which is dodgy, sounds unbelievably bad.
This is great, there's heaps of guys texting through
right now saying they're adults
and play with remote control cars.
Okay.
Come, honestly, play with me.
I will buy one and we'll meet up somewhere.
Although there's a lot of people saying remote control planes, which they're expensive.
Yeah, well.
Hobbies are, I think.
Yeah, hobbies are very expensive, Dan, but you're rich these days, so you'll be fine.
Nah, after all the money I've spent on watches.
Watches, yeah, you're rich these days so you'll be fine. Nah after all the money I've spent on watches. Watches you're breaking on board.
Swapping watches for remote control cameras. Who's keen?
Clint, Meg and Dan.
The ABC game you have to decide whether they're an A-lister, a B-lister or a C-lister you
can join in the discussion. Clint and Dan never seem to agree. They have on four though, Nicole Kidman, A-List,
Denzel Washington, A-List, Tom Cruise,
and Angelina Jolie, the only ones we've ever agreed on.
Yeah.
Now we're going into three more names.
Let's see where we stand.
Oh, it stresses me out.
Clint, you're too easy on your A's, my friend.
Here we go.
You Dan said once,
there's only 10 A-Listers in the whole world,
which is so untrue.
Six spots left then.
Oh that's so dumb.
First one to discuss, Samuel L. Jackson.
He's A-list.
He's never won an Oscar.
Only an honorary one.
You used to keep saying that you have to win an Oscar to be an A-lister.
Just wanted to say that.
I think he's very relevant in the acting world.
So you think that most people would be able to know his name if you showed a picture of him?
Samuel L. Jackson.
No, I don't think that's true.
This is how I think about it.
If I called my mum and dad and said, who is Samuel L. Jackson?
Point him in a photo.
Yeah, and if they can't tell me who he is, then is he an A-lister?
Because the world needs to know who he is.
He's very, very famous. He'd be on the lower echelon to A, but he's definitely an A-lister? Because the world needs to know who he is. He's very, very famous. He'd be on the lower echelon to A,
but he's definitely an A-lister.
Whoa.
Samuel L. Jackson.
I think he is.
I just think if I went into the street
and asked 100 people how many
could reference a movie straight away.
Wow, that really shocks me.
So we're putting him officially on the list then.
I'll go A.
Yeah, both A's.
I think Samuel L. Jackson is on the A-lister.
Okay then, this one should be easy if that one's easy
because this one has won an Oscar,
even though he hasn't.
Anne Hathaway.
Whew, B.
How?
She's won an Oscar.
The thing about Anne Hathaway is,
I think she's got, I don't know if she's got much credibility.
She's an A-lister.
She's won an Oscar and Samuel hasn't. So how is she? Do you know what? She's an A-lister. She's an A-lister. She's won an Oscar and Samuel hasn't.
So how is she?
Do you know what?
I think their name sometimes can let them down.
Like Anne Hathaway, sounds like one of those names
where people go, oh yeah, so what was she in?
No, people know Anne Hathaway.
People need a reference point.
Whereas like, I guess Denzel Washington,
you're like, oh yeah, or Angelina Jolie.
Samuel L. Jackson still shocks me to be honest.
Anne is not a household name.
She is more than Samuel L. Jackson.
I disagree.
Anne Hathaway.
I'm sorry, I'm going to pith her.
I'm putting her in the B.
Yeah.
Oh my god, we've agreed again.
Clint, did we just become best friends?
I've got to, if I call my mum right now and ask her who Anne Hathaway is, she doesn't know.
I'm disagreeing with you both now.
I would say Anne's a Samuel's b.
You don't get an opinion.
Yeah, I don't, apparently.
Not because you're a woman.
Yeah.
Because you're the host of the game
and you have to remain impartial.
I just want to make that clear.
Anne a b.
Okay, and your final one this morning.
Anne's are done by the way.
Your first singer that we've ever done,
Niall Horan. Oh C-list. No way! He's one of the biggest boy bands in the world. Exactly. And if he's with his bandmates, he's an A-lister. But when he's by himself, Horan's a C. He's had many number ones on worldwide stations by himself solo.
Okay, I'm not too proud to hear your explanation then Pivot.
That's an interesting take.
When he was in One Direction, he was a B-list.
Actually, I'd say he's an A-lister when he was in One Direction.
When those boys walked around in fives.
No, I'd say he's an A-lister when he was in 1D.
But you're right, on his own, an I-lister.
C-list, maybe.
He's not C. Then who's Louis Tomlinson?
Dude!
No, I'm just thinking as well if Noel Horan came into the edge,
if people would lose their mind.
And I think if I had Noel's here.
Yes, he's B. I'm mad about Ann though.
Is anybody else? I want to see Tixas 3-3, 4-3, Ann.
Noel Horan would be the type of guy who would be in a line
about to get into a bar or a
club and the bouncer would go, hold on mate, not just yet.
And he'd have to explain, like, I'm Nile Horan, I was in one direction, I can see him doing
that.
I saw people losing their mind when Patty Gow was in here the other day.
So people lose their mind at a lot of stuff.
Okay, maybe...
Nile Horan is...
Okay, so Nile is C, so it goes A Samuel L Jackson, B Anne Hathaway, By the way,
C Nile Horan.
I will say this,
Samuel L Jackson,
highest grossing actor of all time.
Someone takes that in.
Still has a one on Oscar funnily enough.
I think I could be moved to an A for Anne Hathaway
because I feel like I'm doing her real dirty there.
I think she's done real dirty.
Anne Hathaway, she's been around
for many, many years successfully.
Yeah, but I'm actually happy to pivot
with the C input, Nile Horan and C.
All right, anybody disagree with this list, please.
Thank you, Jake, said justice for Anne, okay.
0800 The Edge, Texas 3343.
I don't get a vote or a say, so help me here.
Not because she's a woman.
Anne Hathaway, is she a B?
Is Samuel an A and is Niall a C?
You don't see Jeff Probst on Survivor going,
Ann, my vote, she in a future.
Yeah.
Yeah. A, B, C, E, you know, he just... Yeah. Yeah.
A, B, C, E, D, E, D.
I was having dinner with my husband last night
and he started getting this foul look on his face
and I was like, what's wrong?
He said, I'm already angry about what Dan's gonna say
in the A-list again.
Mm.
Yeah.
And I will say this, a lot of people are angry
with me putting Samuel L L Jackson at A.
And what mostly, actually mostly is defence for Anne Hathaway.
Lots and lots and lots of texts coming in, Anne is 100% number one.
I know Anne Hathaway, but I don't know who Sam is.
Let's go to Tracy on the phones.
Tracy, is Anne Hathaway a B or an A lister?
Absolutely an A lister.
Tell me the reasoning.
Oh, she's, I mean you've got Devil Wears products.
Yes, 15 years ago.
You've got the Princess Diaries.
Yeah, 20 years ago.
Like the quotes though, come on.
And then you've got, what is it, Les Mills?
15 years ago, you can't even name the movie.
Tracy, you know what, I think you've convinced me.
I'm gonna put Anne Hathaway in an A.
But the problem for me is like,
once she's A, then she's always,
for me, if you're an A-lister, you're always an A-lister.
It means the world knows who you are.
And they do.
Anisha, Anne Hathaway, A or B-list?
Oh, A, 100%, 1000% A.
I mean, who even is Samuel L. Jackson?
Well, Samuel L. Jackson is the number one highest grossing actor of all time with 66
films to his name.
That blows my mind.
I'm looking at a crazy.
No Oscars, no nothing.
I mean, come on Hannah, how do we?
Everyone knows her.
She's like, I'll take him.
Yeah, but hold on.
We already said, yeah, we'll give Ann an A. It feels like you're just crapping on Sam
because you want Ann to get an A. No, Ann still doesn't get an A because Ann doesn't agree said you will give Anne an A. It feels like you're just crapping on Sam because you want Anne to get A.
No, Anne still doesn't get an A because Sam doesn't agree.
So Anne's not an A.
She's a B. And someone else has said that Texan's saying she was in cats.
Need I say more?
I'd agree.
Boy, that could be for an A.
Amy says Anne's a B.
She was A pre-COVID.
But I think if you're an A-lister, you're saying the world knows who he or she is.
And once the world knows who they are, then they're locked in. you're an A-lister, you're saying the world knows who he or she is and once
the world knows who they are, then they're locked in. They're an A for life. But here's the thing Clint,
people go out of relevance. They just do as time goes on. True, but if Tom Cruise doesn't do any
more movies for 10 years, he's still Tom Cruise. He's still an A-lister. But people start forgetting.
So you're going to take his A-list status away from him if he doesn't do any movies in the next
decade. He will keep doing movies. The guy's prolific. So so far in the B-list status away from him if he doesn't do any movies in the next decade. He will keep doing movies, the guy's prolific.
So so far in the B-list we have Anne Hathaway, Chris Pratt and Jim Carrey.
Oh that's, that is, that is criminal. They should all be in the A.
That's what you guys have said.
It has to be.
Compared to Samuel L Jackson who's in the A.
Standards have to be high for that.
Clint, Meg and Dan. Clint, Meg and Dan. On the edge.
The edge. 10k.
Easy money.
Three past eight. Good morning.
30 seconds.
And 10 questions. Are the only two things that stand between you and $10,000.
Meg will give you a letter and then hit you with 10 questions.
Every answer you give must start with that letter.
No repeated answers. And you can pass if there's letter. No repeated answers and you can pass
if there's time we'll go back to it.
Okay, here we go.
Caitlin is playing this morning.
Hey Caitlin, you would go up and visit the fam up north.
That would be a lot less go-but.
I imagine, I don't know where, how south you are,
but there'd be a lot less go-but.
Are you helicoptering from Kruschevich?
Well, with Air New Zealand prices actually.
Yeah, true, actually, you're not off there. Okay, Caitlin, are you ready to play for 10K? From Kruschevich? Well, with Air New Zealand prices actually quite good.
Yeah, true, actually. You're not off there.
Okay, Caitlin, are you ready to play for 10k?
I think so, yeah.
Here we go. You're a punk, so.
Okay, just be calm and take your time,
but not too much time.
Your letter is W.
Ooh, that's tricky.
Okay.
Here we go.
Good luck.
Name a day of the week. Wednesday.
Something you need for a pet. Water.
Sports team. Water polo.
Something in your garden. Washing shed.
A four letter word. White.
A band.
Pass.
A way of getting attention.
Waving.
City.
Wellington.
A cartoon character.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Six a pass and a question mark.
The washing shed? I would give it a washing shed, but a sports team is not...
What did you say?
She said a sport, I guess.
I mean, you meaning like the Warriors?
We are Warriors, West Tigers.
Now there is such thing.
You did pass on a band, Weedus Westlife, Fossilbiddlities.
Oh, Weedus, that was your guys band.
Yeah, I know, possibilities. Oh. Yeah. Wetus, that was your guy's thing, wasn't it? Yeah, it was, it was.
Yeah.
Oh, I think you did really well actually, Caitlin.
It was a hard letter, W is difficult.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Washington's a thing as well, so we would've given that to you.
Thank you guys, have a good day.
You too, Caitlin.
Next time's place at 3pm this afternoon.
I mean, you think W's hard,
but then it depends what the questions are.
Like something you give your pet.
I mean, the letter of day of the week, Wednesday.
Wednesday, water, like the first few were sitters.
True.
Yeah, it'd be hard to do, you know,
K for Day of the Week.
What a stature.
That'd be an absolute stature.
I'd be asking for a redo on that one, I think.
Clint, Megan Danch.
Caught up with an old friend of mine from Queensland,
I used to live in Queensland for like a couple of years,
when I first left university and I did a
internship at a radio station down there.
This is one of the Steve's because I remember you were friends with three Steve's.
Yeah, Steve, Steve, Steve, four Steve's. Steve, Steve, Steve and Steve.
Four of them?
Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve.
One of them should have been Steven.
There was a Steven but we called him Steve.
Good on him.
Yeah, it wasn't one of the Steve's. It was a female friend of mine,
but she also knew the Steve's.
In fact, she did.
Anyway, when I lived in Queenstown,
I still had to do breakfast hours
because that being getting up at 4 a.m.,
I did the morning show with somebody down there.
And I was 21.
So getting up at 4 a.m.,
you had to find a way to have a life outside of work.
It was not easy, but most of my friends were transient friends who lived overseas and came
and lived in Queenstown for a wee while and stayed, and they worked at bars.
And so their shift would finish at about 11, 11.30.
So I would every Friday night, well, every Friday morning, I'd get up at 4am, do my job, have my day, and then at Friday night I'd go to bed at 8.30, and I'd set my alarm for 11pm, I'd wake up, have a shower, do my makeup, my hair, and then go out, meet my friends, I'd have a pre-nap, and then I'd stay up till 4am, and it was happening every single weekend. Why didn't you just roll into work and your co-hosts would be like, hey...
No, no, it was always a Friday. So I did that on the Friday, so then on Saturday I'd be up in the floor.
She's a professional, Clint.
Thank you very much, Clint. And I'd do it the next night and then somehow try and catch up on Sunday to go on to work.
My body was breaking, but I was 21 who cared, you know.
Bounce back.
I'd imagine Queenstown would be a cool place to party as well.
It was the best place to party.
Life.
There was no way I was
missing out on that but I do we were just talking about how we used to be so
committed to going out and I loved it. I love dancing, I love being with
my friends but I can't do it these days not even for the fact that I think I
could stay up till four because I think I could but it's just the responsibilities
the next day. I hate the idea of being overtired or hung over
when I have a kid that wakes up at 5.30 in the morning like I just can't do it.
I do that when you count the hours where if it's like midnight and it's at one
o'clock and your kids gonna be up at six it's fine now so if I gotta be now.
Daisy was up this morning with me you know like my my kid my daughter she's
three and a bit and she doesn't and she's just an early riser and so as much
as I would like to go out and stay out with Clint when he goes partying I feel like I have
to go to bed because I have a life. Amen sister. I don't think I've ever been out
after like 1 a.m. Ever? Ever. Oh right well no I'm not saying that. You're on your own bloody
ship over there. And it does get easier because my kids are at an age now where they can make their own
breakfast and they go like you know they'll come up to me like can I get on the Nintendo switch or can we turn the TV on?
I'm like, yes, just go away. Yeah, then I get another hour and a half
I'm so not in that space yet and I'm not going to be for the next few years because I'm about to have a second one
Oh, yeah, you're in the trenches. Yeah, I'm in the trenches but
an idea an idea
So I like the whole
clubbing and like the environment. I like it all. But could we shift it to earlier?
No one does though. No one does. Everyone's just places.
But could we just all agree that we just shifted to earlier?
And when you say all of us agree, you mean the nation?
Yeah, well I mean enough people to fill up. So it feels like we're out and about clubbing, but then I'm in bed by 8.30.
I like the idea that's just going to be... by when?
8.30.
Oh my god, what time are we starting? 11am?
For five.
So hold on, stop beating around the bush. What are you proposing?
I'm saying, I know I've talked about it in the past before, but I would like to do it if we can.
Why can't we actually have a nightclub that's early?
Before you take off for the year maybe.
So it opens at like three o'clock in the afternoon?
Yeah, not five.
We could start at like...
I don't want to start.
I can't start too early in the afternoon because I've still got responsibilities.
So you've got like a two hour window.
No, four to eight. Four hours open. No? Yeah, I No, four to eight, four to eight, four hours.
Open, no?
Yeah, I could do four to eight.
Four to eight.
And it'd have to be blacked out
because you don't want to be dancing in sunlight.
And then can some of us, if we want, kick on?
Or do you have to go?
No.
You have to go home.
Because then otherwise I get FOMO.
Because you're right.
Yeah, if I was me and a couple others kick on,
then all of a sudden you're like,
oh guys, FOMO.
So. No, you have to, after the thing, you have to put in,
like take a photo to the group chat and send you in bed.
You're in bed, yes.
Yeah.
Maybe when you leave, you get handed a tea bag or something.
We'll just get one of the ladies who's got a van
with one of those beds in the back
and we'll all just like use it and take the photos.
I might be on my own sort of wavelength here,
that's the issue.
No, I think.
That's the issue, it's just that I'm the only one.
I just, I like dancing, I like going issue. That's the issue, it's just that I'm the only one.
I like dancing, I like going out,
I just can't stay out that late anymore
because of my dumb kids.
Yeah, it is fun going out and whatever,
but then you wake up in the morning with regret,
where you're like, man, I knew I should have left
at that third or second bar.
But no, I should have left at the second bar.
But at the time, you're like, nah,
that's gonna be amazing, and it rarely is. Are you with Meg? Have you got dumb kids that are holding you up?
Would you be
Interested in going to this club? Or would you be interested in yeah if there was a space that you could like go clubbing
But still be home early. I'm
I'm in under maybe one
One rule I think that the place we go to needs to be blacked out.
Yes. I don't want it like if it's daytime and you can see people pushing prams
around the street and we're having like a pint. Going for brunch. Yeah it's gonna kill
the vibe so if we black it all out and it feels later than it is. When we leave
it's dark. Yeah so we get there at say four it's all blacked out and when we leave
at eight it could be two, who knows?
Like it's dark by there.
Okay, I'm in.
We'll see, well okay, I've got two,
so we'll have to find more than that.
Yeah, I'm in if other people win,
I'm not in if it's just us three.
Oh, come on, anyone else?
Is it, is it, is it Sean?
Someone's asking if we could get like another bar
next door that's like a crèche for everyone's
kids.
What are you calling this Meg?
I don't know.
Hasn't got a name yet?
The one in New York is called Early Birds Club.
We could just literally copy that if we want to.
Yeah.
Because they do this in New York, but I think they do it slightly later where it's like
until 10pm.
You should just claim this as your own Meg.
I didn't know there was one in New York.
Early, I worry I get sued Dan you see.
They're not gonna sue you.
Meg's the last who ruff.
You've got a few more weeks before you go on MatLeave.
So it's like a last send off.
Like a big send off.
Big send off before.
I mean I don't know how long I'll last.
So by the time we get this set up
I'll be well and truly eight and a bit months pregnant
and ready to pop.
If you don't last to 8.30 there's something wrong.
Okay well Roxanne's in.
Oh, the idea of a club that starts at four,
it's all blacked out and it finishes at eight.
Perfect, sounds good to me.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, what was the last?
The last time you went out to a bar or a club, Roxanne,
what time did you leave it?
About 10.30.
Oh my god, that's quite late.
That's quite late compared to this.
What's the sort of music you'd want there?
We got there at like 80s, 90s.
Because I'm old.
The last time I stayed out until 3 in the morning I was probably late in my 20s.
I mean I could.
This is the thing. I honestly think I could guys.
I don't want to make out that I'm lame.
But I could stay up.
But it's more the fact that the next day it would just suck
because my life carries on now.
I used to be able to stop my life before children
and I could just go, oh good, I'm gonna sleep till one.
And I can't do that anymore.
Well you could.
Yeah, so it comes at a much harsher price.
Yeah, way harsher.
So you're like, how can I have my cake and eat it too,
where I get to do what I want and I don't have to pay for it.
And you don't even need to have kids to like this.
Jamie sticks through saying, I don't even have kids and I'm keen.
Please, yeah.
Yeah, she said, hang Saturday's a real thing and I hate losing a weekend day to hangovers.
That's exactly the same too, right?
Where you wake up and it's like 11 or 12 and you're like, well, the weekend's gone.
You could, like, if you get really drunk here you'd have to hangover at like 11pm at night.
Yeah, and then you'd still get an 8 hour sleep.
You'd be sweet. You'd be totally fine the next day.
Jade, would you be in?
Oh definitely.
Okay.
What do you reckon? Have we got the time right at 4pm to 8pm?
Yeah, I could probably go a little bit longer these days,
but as long as I'm in bed by 10.30pm, I'm okay.
Okay, good. Mike, you've got about two and a half hours to get home.
We need to do a little bit of a survey with the audience about, like,
what is that time for most people where they go, oh, now it's bloody late?
We could ask Justin. He is an Uber driver,
and he finds it hilarious because the age groups
and the times they get taken to get picked up to get taken home.
Okay, so, Justin, if we're looking at, like, what do we think?
Oh, let's go 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s.
Yeah, 20s, early 20s.
What time are they getting picked up, Justin?
Oh, the early 20s, they're the ones
that you're picking up at the 2 a.m.,
sort of the 3 a.m.
Some of them, to be fair, you're still picking up
at 9 and 10 the next morning after a really solid night out.
9 and 10!
Jesus!
Whoa!
That's an epic year, AppleJuice.
Okay, we're about 30s.
What's the average?
30s you're starting to get into about that 11 o'clock.
That's generally sort of that 11, before midnight at least anyway.
Okay, okay, well maybe I do need the extended hours.
Maybe I need to go in more 11.
Does it start to swing again? What happens when we hit 40s?
Oh the 40s, that's hilarious.
Most of those people are in the car and I'm like,
oh is it a finish up for the evening or a start for evening or start the evening like, oh I'm going home.
My bed is warm, I'm waiting to go home and that's all before 10 o'clock.
I've gone too early. I'm with the 60s at this point.
Justin's unsure if he's taking them out for the night or taking them home.
Heading back to the old people's home. Look, it's something I think we could have fun doing.
I think it would be, I honestly think we could figure it out.
Also, if you do, if you're listening and you have a venue,
I'd imagine if you want to make some money
between four and eight when it's pretty quiet
and you want to host this event,
get in touch with us, 3343.
Yeah.
Well, I think we need a venue, we need some sort of DJ.
We need to figure out the exact time. Or a band gonna be us no cuz we're gonna only play one song
yeah yeah yeah a friend of mine said that then Ozzy they have a festival for parents and toddlers
called Ravortots I love that love my daughter I want to do this alone oh yeah I went and did
like a rave day with my kids like just a couple of weekends ago and it's cool in that but I
thought to be responsible yeah you still in charge of them. Stuff the kids, leave them at home.
This is for you.
Okay, we're gonna figure out the timing.
I'm getting feedback that for the 30s,
it's more like 10 or 11 p.m.
And I'm being a little old.
To be fair, I am very pregnant,
so maybe that's screwing it.
Yeah, okay, so we'll try and work out
the exact start and end time.
And if you've got a venue idea,
a place that you regularly go to
that you think, oh my god, this would be great to host it,
let us know where it is and maybe we can chase it behind the scenes.
Yeah, love it.
What are you getting all hooo about?
I'm just excited that people are actually kind of into it.
Yeah, there's a lot of people that are keen to be there.
Yeah, like people talking about Amy says
day drinking is so much better than late night drinking.
We need some sober drivers as well, you don't need to be drinking there.
You know, sober drivers to get us home.
Okay. Well, then Meg's one. I drinking that. You know, sober drivers to get us home.
Okay, well, then Meg's one.
I'm one.
Justin, Justin the Uber driver.
I hope he's sober driving most of the time.
Actually, Jessie might want to night off me.
Come join us.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
She was in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Young New Zealander of the Year.
10 million podcast downloads.
She's got almost a million followers on social media.
Girls that invest.
Yeah, most successful female investment podcast
in the world.
Yeah, so if you do want to listen to our chat with her,
just text the word invest to 3343,
but it turns out she's not just great with money.
She's great at working out what she wants,
finding it, and then getting it.
And that was what happened when she went to the young,
oh sorry, the New Zealand of the Year awards.
And while she was there, she bumped into a couple of others.
One was Steven Adams, which she didn't pursue.
He's a very rich NBA player. Don't know if he's single though.
So that would have been...
Would have been a smart investment though.
And then another person who was up on the Forbes 30 Under 30 and was an investor.
Yeah. And this is how she ended up tracking him down and convincing him to propose to her.
And they searched him up on LinkedIn. Yeah as you do. As you do. Yeah. You know you want to know
like who is this guy? Yeah. He we have never seen him before and I left a comment on one of his
LinkedIn posts and he messaged me to have coffee through LinkedIn and I've never heard of people having relationships via LinkedIn.
Is that the new thing to do?
You're using LinkedIn a lot.
Really? People use LinkedIn for hookups.
I think I've heard you run clubs,
you know, that kind of thing through the running apps.
Maybe that's the next one.
It makes sense because I guess you can search
people by profession.
So if you want to date a doctor,
search doctors on LinkedIn and then flogging my message.
So from the New York Post,
producers just sent this through to us.
LinkedIn isn't the only unusual app
people are using to find potential partners.
One out of five say they use non-dating apps
for meeting people such as language learning apps
like Duo, Lingo, fitness apps and LinkedIn.
I think you've got to think outside the box now
in dating if you're single.
I know a lot of people that are single that are using the apps like the Tinder's,
your Bumble's and they always hook up.
Because when you're on an app like that it's because you're probably with like-minded people.
Yeah right.
So if you're on LinkedIn you're a business savvy type person, I guess if you're on Strava
then you're someone that enjoys running so you've already got something in common.
I do find it, don't you think it's kind of annoying though if you're honestly trying to go on these apps
and you're just trying to do whatever the
app is like fitness or learning a language or LinkedIn and every time we're
getting hit on. Not that I would know what that would be like. Oh yeah it sucks, I'll tell ya.
Thank you Dan. The amount of times people are hitting me up on LinkedIn pisses me off.
Go away. I will say though LinkedIn apparently if you look at someone's
profile they know.
Yeah, I thought it did.
You get a little notification saying somebody's
been checking out your profile.
Because it doesn't have your net worth,
but I guess you could kind of work out
based on what they studied,
what field they're working in
and how long they've worked in it for.
Well, you're already ticking probably a number of like,
boxes that you might already have
on your potential partner checklist. Yeah. Has anybody else used it other than Sim to have a
successful relationship? I've got people looking for people from money as well.
LinkedIn's the perfect one for it. Is it an untapped dating resource? I think it is.
Sim says yeah it worked for her she tried it once and it's one from one.
Yeah she only needs it one time
100% is anyone else using LinkedIn to hook up? We had Sim from Girls That Invest on the show last week
You can listen to our podcast with her by texting invest to 3343
And we found out that she actually met her now fiance on LinkedIn
Which we're all kind of taken aback by because we thought it was this
Place just for professional development and meeting up with like-minded people who want to make money.
I have a LinkedIn, I don't even know why. I haven't been on it for years.
That is true. Why the hell do you have LinkedIn?
I think because you've been in radio your whole life, why would you ever need it?
I felt like if anyone else in radio, I think I have one as well,
anyone else in radio wanted to get in touch and connect, then you should have one.
And then I didn't even know people were still using it. I don't have LinkedIn. You don't have LinkedIn?
Are you sure? Of course why would I have ever used LinkedIn? But there is a lot of
people on the text machine saying that they have met through LinkedIn at least
three or four people that have at least not just gone on a date but with people
like in a relationship. So still a bit rare but maybe you think other people
are learning about too. Because I think these days people are getting more picky when it comes to choosing a partner
and what they want and you can waste a lot of time I suppose meeting somebody and going on these
dates and then another date and realizing it's just not what you're into. Whereas I guess
maybe fast forward some of those steps if you find someone on LinkedIn you go cool they're a lawyer
and what that says about someone it brings certain connotations that may
still be incorrect but you might go okay this person's a professional who got
their life sorted out they probably don't live with their parents still
again stereotypes that could be wrong but if you're trying to work on a like a
percentages type scenario you're like you got a better percentage of meeting
someone that doesn't live with their parents if they're a qualified doctor on LinkedIn
Wow, wow. So many sells their feet pics on LinkedIn though.
Oh no, it's the wrong website. No, no, must do. You can't do that surely.
Wow. So Melissa's checks through, this is interesting, this is probably a way I
could see it being used. I don't use it to find dates but I use it to check if
they're legit. So if they say they're a manager and then LinkedIn says they're a junior associate,
I'd be a little suspicious.
So I guess that's kind of like just fact checking, right?
So that's where it'd be useful.
So they'll meet someone on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, whatever,
and then go try to find them on LinkedIn
to corroborate their story.
Yeah, but then you're relying on them updating their LinkedIn.
Because maybe they've got a job years ago.
And imagine how awkward that is
when you're sitting at the bar
and going, so what did you, sorry,
what did you say you do again?
Yeah.
And they're like, oh, I'm the manager.
And they go, hmm, interesting, because your LinkedIn says.
And they go, yeah, I haven't used that for about eight years.
And then you look like the asshole.
Yeah, psycho.
Give them psycho vibes.
But it's much more common, according to the text machine,
than I ever thought it would be.
All right, well, let's see if Anonymous Jane is happy to talk about selling feet pics on LinkedIn.
Hi anonymous.
Jane.
Hi.
So, how did this begin?
Um, well I used to be an escort back in the day.
And I changed career and became a medical recruitment consultant.
Yeah.
And yeah, this guy messaged me saying that he used to know me.
And then he asked for my feet pictures.
And is he the only buyer or has this expanded?
I've had a few.
Wow.
So hold on.
My husband really wants to get into selling feet pics, but I don't know if...
So have you got photos of your feet?
His feet are as skanky as...
I know.
Not his feet, aye. Your feet.
No, he wants to sell his feet.
Oh.
Yeah.
No one's paying for his toes.
I'm saying your feet though. They're not all paying for your feet.
Yeah.
Wait, so you must take all this offline.
Like, it's all private DMs.
You don't advertise your feet pics on LinkedIn, right?
No. No, no.
Yeah.
Wow.
But I guess you're finding professional people
with lots of money.
Like, do you ever solicit it and go,
hey, on the side I do this, would you?
Yeah.
Or do you only send them if you're asked?
I guess if they start up a conversation
that's not business-orientated.
So any, like say I could message you right now, and you you'd ask for a couple of pics and you'd send them.
If you paid for them.
That would be expensive for you Dan.
Yeah, so it's double the Dan.
How much are you charging for a couple of pics?
A hundred and fifty.
Damn!
Wow!
You must have amazing feet.
What do they do?
Are they just feet on the carpet?
Or...
How is this turned from LinkedIn?
Yeah.
Are they doing something? are they doing something...
Are they doing something naughty?
Yeah, do they have to be doing certain things?
I'm holding something.
Ah, yeah.
Or spreading my feet.
Oh, spread, a full spread.
Okay.
You're amazing.
Thank you so much for telling us about this.
And I didn't know that that was a...
It's a whole new world.
...future business.
I've never understood fetish.
I can pick up stuff pretty easily with my feet
and throw balls with my feet and stuff.
Okay.
I don't know, do people find that hot?
Does anyone want to pay 80 bucks for that?
Maybe the ball stuff, yeah.
Anybody else have something else?
I feel like you've got all the things.
I will give you a video, not a photo of me
throwing a tentacle with my feet for 40 bucks today.
Not tomorrow, last chance.
Less than half the Jane was charging. I'll let you think about it. Oh no I'm not buying it!
Clint, Megan, Dan. One of our favorite things is me going to a bookstore and
trawling through and finding books that have probably been there for decades
that no one else wants to buy because it's created this little fun bit.
Books by Boomers. Books by Boomers.
Books by Boomers.
This was obviously somebody's, um,
what do you call these books?
You know, that somebody's cut out little
nudie photos of women from magazines
and glued them in.
A naughty diary?
I don't know, I don't think there is a word for it.
They're like black and white newspaper clippings.
Yeah.
Clint said you go to these bookstores.
I can't imagine these are available at Wiccalls.
No, definitely not.
These are very hard to buy.
Normally church sales or op shops.
This is an op shop one.
It's called Any Woman Can, and there's a whole chapter,
and it's basically about love and sexual fulfilment
for women according to this man.
How do you find it?
In context, this book was published in 1969.
Yes, indeed it was.
And this is a little part of it that I found interesting
that I think times have obviously changed quite dramatically.
I know a lot of 30 year old, late 20s,
even late 30s single women
who are very happy, very successful.
And his name, the author, his name's what?
David.
And he's a MD, medical doctor.
Yeah.
So he's got credentials.
He says, in this country, there are being the USA,
every woman who is not married by the age of 21
is treated as if she was suffering
from a progressive disease that makes the bubonic plague
seem like a bad cold.
So if you're single
over the age of 21... That age has gone up. Yeah well I don't think anybody's treated
like they've got the bubonic plague. No God no. If you're 21, he goes on to say if she
is those of her friends who are engaged or going steady are the natural elite and they slowly withdraw from her to avoid being contaminated.
Oh my god! Like it's contagious.
Then he goes on saying after the age of 30, being 30 and single, she is the topic of hushed conversation.
Did you know that Alan is 31 and doesn't have a boyfriend people
will say. As the 35th year comes into view even Alan's single girlfriends will
begin to avoid her. She might have faked them. Upon celebrating her 40th
birthday she is officially is consigned to emotional limbo from which she is resurrected on certain certain special occasions she is
dragged out for exciting opportunities like blind dates with somebody's uncle
who has made wonderful progress with his drinking problem
Billy who was 39 and dresses with flair but never really found interest in women
and Ralphie who knows how to show girls a good time if a girl's good idea of a good time is spending the evening
watching a 150 kg man eat. Right. So apparently those are your only options
if you're over the age of 40. It sounds like they treated like a clicker from Stranger at the Last of Us.
It's a crazy thing I just googled like the average age for first marriages in the 60s. For men it was 22.8, it's almost 23,
and for women it was 20.3, right, in the 60s. Wow, okay, so yes, it was about right.
Compared to now, the average age for women in 2020 to get married was 31, and the average age
of a groom was 37.8. Well there you go times of drass you're right Clint, 10
years. Yeah. I think things are much more accepted to be single now like a lot of
my friends that are still single you look at them like good on them you know
they live in their life, they can travel, they don't have any like commitments or anything
like that. Absolutely but no being treated like you have the bubonic plague if
you're over the age of 21. So tomorrow do we find out how he tells these women to nab a man before it's too late?
Or does he just go into like how much it sucks for you if you never do?
Well, basically he does go into like how do you react to the pressure and basically he does say you have to be slim and attractive
And smart so all these things you have to work on
He does have a whole chapter on what if you've put on weight, so I'll get into that, you know, I have to go into that.
And then, is it that easy to get married?
What are the techniques you need?
So if you're looking to get married,
according to David.
We don't have the plague for one, apparently.
Yeah.
And that was another edition of
Books by Boomers.
He's dead now, surely.
Well, that was 56 years ago.
So he could be.
Cockroaches are always ones that live forever.
Holy shit! You made it the whole way through!

See you tomorrow.
