Clint, Meg and Dan kick off the show with their “take the edge off” cash giveaways and chat about Spotify turning 20 and revealing listeners’ all-time top songs. Dan shares an embarrassing park encounter while packing up his remote-control car, and the team surprises night-shift security guard Richie with a $500 Woolworths voucher via the Boost button. They discuss Meg’s on-air swearing slip during a segment about the Broadcasting Standards Authority, then open the phones for stories about horrible teachers. More listeners win money for bills and groceries, and the hosts react to a news story about a Pak’nSave Lotto worker being let go after 30 years with minimal notice.

This is a podcast from Rover. Welcome to the podcast equivalent of a you-up text. Messy, slightly regrettable, but you'll still come back for more. This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Good morning, it is two to six. Welcome to the show. Seven and eight. We'll try and financially help take the edge off this morning.

Yeah, we've helped. How many so far? It will be eight people? Six. Six people. Yeah, that's the maths. Three times two. Yeah, it could be you today.

Two more chances. Eight by the end of the day. and Meg just put it on a radar as well. Spotify has turned 20, so they've done like a bit of an early rap. They've given you the number one most listened to song of all time since you started your Spotify account.

It could be embarrassing, eh? Yeah. Yes. I haven't looked at mine yet and I'm nervous. It's going to be Celine. Oh, I think, yeah, mine's going to be affected by my damn kids. I normally would have thought that as well about mine, but then because I got so annoyed,

I started a family account a few years ago. So I might have to stand. and by my own decision. I think. Can we not just have one thing for ourselves? You know? I know. I don't want the wiggles all through my Spotify.

No, thank you. Actually, I think now my daughter's 10. She's making my Spotify cooler now. It's gone full circle. Yeah. Yeah. All right, we'll get into a throwback. Dan Rikins, it's a great day for a throwback actually this morning.

Yeah. A particular DJ turns 30. Oh, plenty of options. All right, well, whoever it is, they're going up against Neo currently in the playlist. If you've got any suggestions, you can always ping him through. Even if it was just a fave 3-3-4-3 on the text, this is... The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.

Yesterday I did what I like to call one of my embarrassing moments. Okay. Where all afternoon yesterday I was sort of like, I kept thinking about it and going, oh, God. Is it that thing you did on a Overtinkers podcast when you forgot it was being filmed? I mean, I've blocked that out of my brain. I don't want to think about it. Don't mention it.

Dan acted out like a player one game. And we won't mention that, but... We won't mention it again. Sorry, I thought that's what it was. When you said your most embarrassing moment, I was like, surely that's up there. You're in Tex podcast at 3-34-3-4-3. Well, that's the last time I forget we filmed the podcast.

He was doing very R-rated things. So yesterday I had a couple of hours to myself before George woke up from his nap. I took my remote control car down to the park and had a bit of a blat. I do it just because it's before school finishes, so there's no one really around except, like, retirees taking their dogs for a walk so it's quiet

you can drive it around. Can I confirm somebody's home when you do this? Yeah Hannah's at home working. No I just leave him there he's fine. So Hannah was working from home. As you got the bars up he can't get out. And I went down and as I'd finished I sort of finished the battery had run out and I was putting my remote control car back into the into my car. Well how long does it

how long the battery last? Like half an hour. Wow. It's beside the point. No but I wondered how long you've been down there for the battery to go dead. Anyway so I put the thing back and then I hear Wow, that's cool. And I turn around and there's a man up the road from me, probably 20 metres to 50 metres away. And the sun is shining right into my eyes.

So he's silhouetted. So I can't see it. It was actually quite an interesting moment. So he's sort of standing there and I can see the silhouette of the man. And he's very like, wow, that's awesome. How are you, man? Like this. Very friendly.

And I was like, oh God, I must know him from somewhere. because he's in my neighborhood. I was just down the road from my house. I know a few people around the area. And so I turn around and go, hey, man, how are you? And he comes down and he comes back with like, really good man, that's epic, that car. Can I have a look?

And I go, oh, anything for you, bro. I haven't seen you in ages. The sound, the way he's talking to you, honest to God, I'm not being funny, sounds like he's a stranger. Awesome car, man. Like he's just talking about your car and he's just seeing. I don't know why you think you know him. I've gone, because there's about three or four people

that I quite often see around the neighbourhood that I know, like sort of vaguely, whether it be through my friend, like another friend through Hannah or through Hannah's family because they all live in the area. So I'm going in my head, don't be rude, you'll know this person, fine. He hasn't used your first name though at any point.

No, but he's gone, bro. He's gone, like, he's used a whole lot of words that I would go, he knows me. Okay. So then I return back with, I haven't seen you in ages, good to see you, Rora. He then steps out of the silhouette into my vision, and I go, never met him in my life. And then he goes, I've never seen you before, I've never met you before, but I'd just love to look at your car. Oh, God!

And then I did this like backpedling thing where I was like, oh, God. Oh, you look like somebody, I know a few people around here. Oh, God, it was a nightmare. And then he ended up looking at the car. It was fine. But it's just one of those moments where you just keep re-living in your head all afternoon. He must have thought I was such a weirdo. Ooh, ooh.

And then it was just a grown man looking at another grown man's tiny car. Yeah, like my little thing. And then when I got back, to add insult to injury, I just had marmite toast before I left. And I got back in the car and looked at the revision room and I had Marmite. You're such a trial. Just as well you know him. I know. God.

But he would have been like, what a whole... The universe was too in your favour. Oh, I know. Yeah. Really? So just, oh, God. I just kept really, I told my wife when I got home, and she was like, I don't know how you do it. I don't know how you just do keep things happening to you.

You're like, yeah, you're like a moth to a flame with awkward interactions. I blame ADHD. Yeah, fair, yeah. All right, first call of the day next. Love it to be you. Oh, 800, the edge. Maybe you could even let us know what you need help taking the edge off with. It might be something.

Interactions with people. That's what I needed. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. For first call of the day. First call on the day! Good bugger Richie's been sitting at home for like seven minutes. Hi, Richie. I think it was about seven and a half, but hey, who's counting?

Yeah, who's counting? How are you, Richie? It's worth the weight. Oh, not too bad. We've got to finish some work and go home and start snoozing. Oh, so you're one of these people that works through the night. What do you do for a job? Okay, okay, we'll guess.

Guess, guess, guess. Okay, I'm going to say overnight nurse. We'll have a guess. Okay, I'm saying security because he sounds tough. Okay. I reckon he's like a similar to you, Meg. I think he's a paramedic. Okay.

You know, Clint, you bang on. Yay! Security! You could hear the toughness. And did you keep it secure, Richie? Is it still there? They're all there. Yeah, all the gates are there.

It's all good. It's all in order. It's all sorted. Is it out? Is it cool? Thumbye, thumbs up. We're good to go. Is it a good job being a security guy?

Because I've seen. quite often on the way into work I see security guards maybe finishing their shift driving their little cars around I'd imagine there's a lot of time for yourself to do you know just like thinking and stuff yeah yeah and stuff

oh there's a lot of time there's a lot of thinking time a lot of reflecting time just sometimes your mind goes into autopilot and you're at one place and then it feels like 30 seconds you're at the next place you're like oh wow frowned upon to be on the phone too I imagine

so when did your shift Star and when did the end? And have you ever had a moment where you were actually needed to be there? Yeah, had to exercise your security powers. Not exercise the security powers. Yeah, no. But starts at just after 6pm and goes through to around about 6.37. Damn.

And what do you bench, Richie? So we're at the finishing part now, hey? Yeah, what do you bench? Let's say, just under 100. Under 100 That's a nice It sounds like you've never benched before Not too much weights

May you want a bit of speed work as well I guess if you've got to chase the baddies He's on this giant chest weighing you down Richie I want to give you a day off I love a day off Oh Richie you might not even know what's just happened We have a boost button in studio

That has only been pushed once this week But when Meg does hit it You are boosted with a $500 Woolworth voucher bro What You see? Wow $500 bucks to go spend the woolies.

Well, it's not quite a day off, but it does sort your groceries for maybe a couple of weeks, and depending on how big your family is, if you have one. Thanks for keeping us safe. No. Wow, I'm speechless now. Wow, thank you so much. You're welcome.

Yeah, no, it's speechless now, thanks. You're going to struggle to sleep now, bro. Yeah, yeah. No, thanks for keeping us safe, bro. In about half an hour. You appreciate your service. Thank you. Thank you. Stay there, Rich.

I think he did say he was looking after gates and stuff, so I don't know. Oh, I thought he said gays. Oh, are you? I was like, go. That's a funny way to come out, Clint. Oh, congratulations. He said, thanks for predicting me. Yeah, yeah.

I'm an ally. We're bringing the boost in the everyday rewards app right here to the edge of you. If you're wondering what that was. It's all thanks to Woolworths and Everyday Rewards. At any point during the show, if you're on here, and Mick could hit the boost button. And you get boosted. the $500 Woolworth voucher.

How good. Yeah. So boosts in the app and scan your card to turn 2,000 points into a $50 voucher. Incredible. What are we to start the show?

Okay. Next, we are going to get into an actual early naughty 640. This is something that Meg did yesterday. Complete drop of the ball. Oh, she's very naughty. She was playing rugby. It would have been a full knock on, wouldn't it, Clint?

Oh, yeah, I think we'd take her to the bin for 10, actually. Clint Meg and Dan. Clint, Dan. and scandal. Pete Davidson has accepted an award from his best mate Machine Gun Kelly at the Weby Awards for a special achievement. He reminds me of this really famous Argentinian soccer player named Maradano. You know, he had these unconventional ways of playing the sport and practicing,

and people always parallel his career with his drug use and all that. He won a World Cup. And that is what Pete does for pop culture and for entertainment and for comedy. But I'm not son or maude. Thanks. I'm still dead inside. All right. And that was the whole speech.

I love their friendship. Strange analogy for me. It is a strange analogy. The whole speech, Clint, was very bizarre from Machine Gun. I like him too, but I was like, this is an odd thing. You clearly have not practiced. Yes. You clearly have not practiced.

And a nostalgic classic is getting another movie. Camp Rock 3 has just been announced. Oh, God. Camp Rock 3. How long has it been between? to now. Very long time. 20 years?

I feel like we didn't even need the second one. No. To be honest. It's one of, I actually got dead by somebody at work, I think on Matt leave, to try and watch the whole thing and I couldn't get through it. It took me days. To let pause and I go, I can't stop cringing.

Is that the one with like the Jonas brothers and stuff? Demi Lovato. Demi Lovato, yeah. Yeah, but if you like it, it's coming back. 94-2. Edge. The Edge. Queen Meg and Dan.

Scan was all thanks to Moody. Buy a Moody Protein ball ticket. and win $5,000 cash. I love that, eh. It's like I'm reading Willie Wonka at the moment. To my kids. Not just to yourself. No, no.

Just reliving my childhood. And finding the golden tickets. It's such a good idea if I'm ready to do that. Finding the old golden ticket. I read that book going, why don't they do that in real life? Now here they are. I saw a thing the other day where they were doing it like at a,

I think it was outside a cafe and they were doing, like giving away free ones. And there was a queue of people wanting to find a golden ticket. Oh, wow. A queue of people. Josh's text, is that legit? Meg, Camp Rock 3 got announced last year and has already finished filming.

Is that really what's happened, Josh? I just wrote an outfit. It's probably true, thanks Josh. We'll get Josh to do this candle tomorrow. He's a massive fan of the movie. Oh, it's Clint, Meg and Dan. Time to get naughty at 640. We're a little early actually for naughty 640.

And it's not even Dan and I have been naughty. Well, to be honest, we've been angels, Clint, as usual. It's Meg that's the potty mouth. Yeah. Now here's a bit of a flag. To give you an idea as to what we're talking about, I'm going to have to play the clip of Meg being naughty again, which makes Meg, sorry, Dan and I,

a little bit naughty, I guess, because we know what we're doing now? Yeah, but you know what? Sometimes you've just got a highlight who's letting the side down, don't you? Which I would say is Clint. The boss, I don't know. To be honest, I'm the one that's squeaky clean here.

I mean, Clint, you've got a little bit of dirt on you. The boss came in yesterday. And he was talking to us about our conversation around the broadcasting standards authority being potentially axed. So there will be effectively no police for media. So you know when you go, who do I complain to? And you want to send a complaint nowhere. Like you can send one to us and we could say sorry, but there's really nobody policing us anymore. You know what?

Don't complain anymore because we don't care. Yeah. Well, the idea is we're supposed to care because at the end of the day, then people go, okay, well, I won't listen to you guys. And then we lose listeners. So then that's why we care. They're trying to level the playing field, apparently, with, like, podcasts, because podcasts, you can't complain anything about that. You can say anything on podcasts.

It's the Wild West. And effectively, they're going to turn New Zealand media into the Wild West by getting rid of the broadcasting standards. Authority? Which is our own morals. We're still not going to do anything that. Well, I mean, Meg says that, but did you catch this yesterday? The government's trying to get rid of the broadcasting standards authority.

Media Minister Paul Goldsmith says this is about leveling the playing field between radio, television and the internet. And the government is also hoping that radio and television. television broadcasters will join self-regulation, like the Media Council. Self-regulation. Well, we do have the beat machine, don't we, that we can use. We hardly use it, though. Well, thank God Clint caught that, because it's still they're thinking about it.

It's not actually... Yeah, you can't actually just be dropping F-bombs and get away with it at the moment because the BSA still currently does exist. But so when it doesn't exist, when it ceases to exist, though, I can't say anyway. Damn. I know. Yeah, exactly, that. Yes, but until then, I...

have to continue to beep it. Like any... could come in here and... swear all they fucking want. Damn. Sorry. Please. It's just... Who are you, me? Fond police.

No, I'm fucking nodding. Clint! Oh, Clint! You got me! I'm not a magician. I can't catch them all. Oh, he's sweating. You did that on purpose. You said you're all going to beat them.

You're a nerdy girl. The radio police need to come and get you, Megan. And they need to f*** Breast you. All right, got it. Good work, Clint. We're proud to be supporting the Breast Cancer Foundation this year.

We've made it nice and easy.

Just takes Ribbon to 3344 for the link to donate. It's a great cause. Have some breakfast for a break course. You might have missed it yesterday. quick little recap of Dan's diary from yesterday. Between the formative ages of 13 and 18, a young Dan Webby sat down every night to write a diary. Mondays are a drag.

I have English followed by social studies. Oh, I hated that. I am excited for drama tomorrow, though. It's shared lunch. They said to take at least one healthy item. Stuff that. I'm taking biscuits. You did a little list of the biscuits that you're taking.

Chit chats, ginger nuts. And then you wrote girl guides. Good with tea. Oh my God What is me going to do here I'm trying to guess Are we going with the worst biscuit I thought I was going to go

With the horrible teachers We could always do Worst biscuit Oh 800 the edge Who was your worst teacher No I'm all about biscuits this morning Shut up Okay so we accidentally

End up covering off worst biscuits Which cameo cream I definitely thought deserve to be in the top five Just saying Yeah I started getting a lot of DMs about that too Some people like those sort of pasties Same! They were like people that were sticking up for ginger nuts

Yesterday they were like how do you Oh my God Yeah, the digestive We can't get into the biscuits Okay, okay Oh my God, we're doing it again Stop, stop Biscuits

She's so tempting Yeah, right Even a Shrewsby I'm not even convinced Was this great of a biscuit Don't mention the Shrewsbury No, we can't get into this We're talking about

Yeah, we got derailed We didn't get worse teachers Did we? Worst teachers Do you want to worst and best Or just worst Like the most memorable teacher For whatever reason

I don't know I guess that opens up a little bit but there'll be some stories about the worst. I remember I went into a class. It was a plane making, like a craft plane making model class. And I think it was the only girl that had ever taken the class, which I was really excited about. And I spent a lot of time making this plane.

What a cool class. Thank you. It was really cool. And it was one of the teachers that liked doing it in a spare time, kind of like a Dan hobby thing. And took this class of boys. And then I did it, and I was really excited. And I remember, I made a mistake.

I don't remember what it was. I don't know if I talked too loud or something. She put the wings on the wrong side. I'm still got the plane. I'm really proud of it. It looks awesome. But he slammed his fist out and said, this is exactly where I don't like teaching girls.

And I'll never forget it. I know. I'll never forget it. And it's stuck with me. And he won't remember that. But to me, it was a real, like, core memory of like, oh, I'm not good at this. I'm bad at this.

And then you got the cane, did you? Yeah, they got the cane. We had an educational Mr. Dawkins in primary school, everyone loved him. Everyone was gutted if they went to the other class and didn't get him. It was the last year of primary school. I remember he was obsessed with long distance running

and he had this challenge where you had to run from rugby post to rugby post a certain number of times in under five minutes. And he offered a sponge cake. I'm not overly... I'm not overly... A lover of sponge cake, but I tell you what, I ran my ass off all year

to try and win that sponge cake. Better than a sponge bath, I guess, from your teacher. Yeah, true. You have all had one of those. And I remember when I was like half a length away from finally getting it and I started getting close, he then put a time limit on it. It was like, right, you got till the end of the week. And I think I missed out on the sponge cake by something like 20 metres.

He was nervous he was going to have to give the sponge cake away. And he was like, I've got to make this harder. How much was a sponge cake back in the 90s? It's like the driest cake. We can't get to worse cake. He's like, I'll change it as now a sponge bath. It's like, I don't really want that. I still want to win, though.

All right, give us the call. Oh, I'm at the edge. Who was your worst teacher? Do you remember them? You can also text us 3, 3, 4, 3. Sabrina Carpenter, when did you get a hot 13-2-7? We'll take the edge off in under 15 minutes for you. Clint, Megan, Dan.

We're talking horrible teachers. Sometimes you do wonder why they'd even get into that profession, if they hate kids. But typically, I think, if they've been a teacher for a long time, kids over the years have just, like, warm them down. Yeah, I used to feel like with the older ones, especially, you'd either, they'd be either incredible or just over it.

Like I had a teacher, I remember very early on in my life where she used to take aerobics class and she emailed my mum and said he is so uncoordinated we think he has got some sort of motor neurone disorder. And I had to go and get that cat scan because of that. I would have loved the diary that day. We didn't get a diary.

That was way earlier before. That was like when I was at primary school. And what did they find on the catscan? Nothing. I was just uncoordinated But they thought that she was like There's something wrong with him No, you're just a bitch

Honestly, I couldn't stand the woman She looked like Mrs Delfire Oh, I don't, Miss Delfire was awesome though No, in fact Miss Delfire was hotter than her So that's all I'm gonna say about her She's probably dead now Which makes me a little bit happy Oh jeez

Daniel She was old, she was very old Okay, that's good to Ritchie Richard, we're talking about horrible teachers. Oh, you're supposed to be in bed, mate. You just finished night shift. No, no, I've got a job call out, so I've got to go half an hour on the other side of town. Oh, no, cool.

Just as well. Lucky for us then. Who's the horrible teacher that you were reminiscing? Oh, back in form, like, form nine, four to three, yeah, nine. And, like, the first time you go to high school, and we had this American teacher, Mr. Cawson, and you'd be like a second like, no, half a second late through the door like for like homeroom

and he would look at you and say, you're late, you're on detention or you're like the corner of your shirt would be sticking out and he wouldn't like it oh no because then he would look at you and go you're a shirt out boy you're on lunchtime, you're already picking up rubbish

Oh it sounds like he was like looking for things Reach for the sky It's funny that he was also like an astronaut He sounded like he's Woody. He sounded like Woody from Toy Story was... He's telling you. Like one of those teachers is just real trigger-happy with the detentions, eh?

Just willy-nilly handing them out. Yeah, he was like Mr. MacDonald. Chemistry teacher, the worst. Fee, morning. Morning. So you had a fifth grade teacher that was a bit of a somebody. A bit of a somebody. Yeah, he was a real special, actually.

Back in Australia, he'd go to lunch... I'd go to the pub at lunchtime and get absolutely seen. and come back. Oh, my God. Oh, that's a different type of horrible teacher. So then if you had classes after lunchtime, you were stuffed? Yeah, pretty much. I mean, we were stuffed anyway because he was just a jerk.

But I remember he had this poor kid split his pants, and he made this kid stand in front of the class and bend over and show everyone that he'd split his pants. Oh, my God. I think he said shit his pants for a second fee, and I thought that person's in therapy still. But still split your pants. It's embarrassing enough for a child.

Teachers were the ones who would just roll out the TV. Yeah. Oh, that were usually like the ones that are covering for the teacher that's away, though. Substitute. They'd have to roll them out on a frame with wheels because they were so big and heavy. They could never be carried by humans. Oh, my gosh. There are so many teachers coming through in the TEKS that need to be fired or just give up the gig.

Just give up the job. I had a teacher who told me to tie my hear up. I had cancer at high school and it was a wig and they knew it. Oh, my God. They would say full right. They would have a horrible offense. Okay, can anyone top that? Hopefully not.

but if you want the text is still coming through maybe we could take some more calls on this after the kiddle and the bebes Oh my God, some of these are terrible I don't talk on horrible teachers If you've got one that you can reminisce O-100 there, Joe Fire us a text on 3343 Okay let's get straight into these fun calls

because they're stories They're big we've got AJ Your primary school teacher in Australia What do they do to make them the worst teacher? Well I had bladder issues when I was in grade three. And my primary teacher, he never used to let me go to the bathroom

even when I asked multiple times. So, of course, there were multiple occasions he would take me up in front of the class. And, yes, I have wet myself multiple times when I was in my class because he didn't let me go. And I was bullied. I was bullied. Oh, that's horrible.

And the teacher did know that you had the bladder issues. Yeah, he did. And I told him multiple times. I need to go to the author. I'll get a note, blah, blah, blah. No, no, no, you can't. So obviously I'd sit in my desk, hold us for as long as I can, and I would eventually just have to go.

This is the second, like, bad teach you have had in Australia. The other one that we had before was Australian. How are the bladder issues now, AJ? They're much better. Great, good to get it. I just, I just feel so bad for your little child self. That would have been so bad and so hard. And kids don't forget that kind of stuff.

Like all the way through school. Oh, no, definitely not. Yeah. No. And I know someone said on the radio that their old therapist died. He's dead too, so I feel a little bit better about that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, see you, AJ. Lashia? Morning. Good morning. So this was your math teacher that was horrible. Oh my gosh, yeah. So I really struggled with dyscalcula, which is like dyslexia with numbers. throughout high school.

Same. And my math teacher was hanging out tests the day of my birthday, and she went around everyone and said, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, because everyone had obviously passed. And she left me for last and said, not happy birthday to you and slammed the chest down on my desk in front of everyone,

and I was the only one that had failed. Oh. To do it that way. Gosh, what is with these? How long ago was this? Because you sound quite young. I'm 25 now, but this was when I was like 16. So yeah, but like 10 years ago, like you'd think that that sort of stuff would have been snuffed out.

Like that sounds like something that would happen like 30, 40 years ago at a school. I know, yeah. No, it's really affected me. Like I think of it now, like whenever I'm having like math problems and I'm just like, oh, like I'm just never going to get it. Wow. But in my head that I was just not good at. enough. Yeah, she was horrible.

Latia, six times eight. Yeah. Yeah, what is six times eight? Oh, six times eight. Oh, Clint Goldie. This is traumatic. I'm giving her a chance. Even on the spot.

Even on the spot. Two plus two. Yeah, two plus two. Four. Yeah. Happy birthday to you. Congratulations. Oh, thank you.

Oh, thank you. Yeah. I was giving her a chance to be the star. And then you guys gave her like four-year-old maths. I don't even know six times eight. So how is she going to do it? No, me. Is it 42? See?

a video or voice message as well on the Rover app. Talking about someone next, it probably needs to have the edge taken off as well. Someone that's been working for a particular company for 30 years and has been let go with two weeks notice. It was in the news yesterday. I mean... 30 years at one place and they're like, see you later, man.

Yeah, you give your life to a company. Yeah. Yeah, literally. Wow, that's pretty much all my life, 30 years. No, no, no. Pretty left over 15 or so. Clint, Megandan. Sad story out of Parmy.

Yeah. Pack and Save Lotto lady, Katie Tipler, has been left heartbroken. It was in the news yesterday after being let go from the Pack and Save Lotto store after 30 years of service, which is a long time to be... I mean, we say 30 years and we go, yeah, it's a long time.

But then you think about what you were doing 30 years ago and know that that's when Katie started. For three decades, she's been going to the same place every day, Monday to Friday. And he used to be something that was really honoured. I know when your grandparents, you think about your grandparents, and they go, he went to the same factory for 30 years, 50 years, and it would be a big thing.

They'd get a plaque almost. Badge of honour. There would be a picture of them on the wall. And the sad thing about this is, because obviously it was the same story. same lot of shop for 30 years. We don't know both sides of the story, but apparently according to her, Katie Tipler,

she left with no farewells, no redundancy payment, and just the minimum of two weeks notice that she didn't need to work out. So they're redesigning the store or something, is that right? Yeah, and sometimes, you know, these things have to happen with business, you know,

but you'd think that for 30 years of service she'd get more of a good buy. Oh, absolutely. Especially because her job is now obsolete while they're renovating the store, that you go, hey, it's nothing that you've done. So let's, yeah, give her a good send off. It's a huge drop ball.

You sit there and go, was that somebody's job? And then somebody thought it was somebody else's job. Yeah, right. And she's just been forgotten about it. It's just devastating, I think. And, you know, you sit there and go, well, your job was, you got paid and you did the job. And then there should be nothing else in it. But we're all human beings in 30 years dedicating your life to something.

There should be more than that. 30 years is unbelievably rare, I would think. For a big company, too. And she looks like such a darling. She said, as well, this breaks my heart in the, story she said the job was her life, she loved it. You'd have to stay there long. Because she probably loved the interaction with people.

You know, she's an older lady now. You would have known it inside out. Bless her. And I guess it would be a cool job to work at a lot of store because you're giving away money, aren't you really, essentially? Yeah. Every day. I mean, I do wonder though, because obviously we've never been in a job that long.

I mean, I'd coming up 10 years, but I had that year off. So me, says my clock gets reset. It does. I've had 12 years in this job. Or at the end. God, you're coming up to Katie Tipment. Territory. 13 years this year, actually, with the year.

I mean, I know when you have those milestones of a decade and then 20 years and 30 years, sometimes you are given something for your years of service. I especially think after leaving a job, like if you're walking away, you'd be like, we've got to do something for Katie or whoever it might be. What were you given for your years of service after like leaving your job or hitting like a real milestone like 30 years? Yeah, we can hear the good stories and the bad stories here as well, can't we? I just want cash.

You just give me cash. Don't bother about all this little bits of jewelry and stuff. No, I don't want a little bracelet. bracelet to remember you buy? You don't want a framed picture that's got a photo of your face and then people put little quotes about you around it? Absolutely not. Do you know what I reckon it'd be cool?

If you own like a fast food chain or a grocery store, you get some sort of gold card that gives you, I don't know, like a certain amount of money. Let's say you work at Subway. You get one free foot long every week for the rest of your life or something. If you were there for 10 years straight or something like that where it's like, hey, thanks very much and the company gives back that way. Maybe they do that. Maybe they don't.

I don't know. But that's my billionaires, billionaires. and we're not billionaires. True. All right, well, I'd love to know. Yeah, let's take the good, the bad, and the ugly of what were you given for your years of service after leaving your job. Maybe it still stings, or maybe you can't relate to Katie. I got sent to Fiji, business class.

Maybe you could call us and tell us, like, how long you were there, and then we can guess it was a good or a bad gift. Who you worked for him for how long. Yeah, I like that. Nice. 0-800 there, you can always fire us a text as well on 3343. It's just gone quarter past seven. Clint Megan Dan. We want to know.

what were you given for your years of service after leaving your job? Katie Tipler has been in the news from leaving her lotto position inside a Packensave in Palmer's North. 30 years, she got two weeks notice. That was it. She's sad, isn't it? It is sad because you sit there and you dedicate your life to a business, to a job, and you just kind of realise at the end, maybe I didn't matter as much. And you're right, you're just to cog out you?

Just a number. You're right. Sometimes it's just one person's responsibility to look after those employees and make sure that that is done and maybe it just didn't happen in that instance and it doesn't take much as well does it

you know like I think some people are getting nothing though well you know what Katie's might not even be as bad as Flynn's mate morning Flynn hi

so your mate was in a job for what 50 years half a century yeah 50 years oh god I'm guessing that it was not a good send off

surely 50 years He He got a shared lunch From work From 50 years And That was it

That's it Shared lunch So even those who have been in the company For six months They still got to partake in the shed lunch I hate a shed lunch as well Because no one No one goes to any effort

They bring a packet of biscuits And some chips Yeah And they buy like eight sausage rolls And then chop them into four like quarters What a pain Like is it a shared lunch where everyone has to bring their own

because that's the worst or is it a shed lunch put on by the boss those are two different things but still not enough for 50 years no 50 years

all right Andrew it was your granddad what did he do and get for his job yeah I used to working the Stockton Mines over the West Coast

in 45 years it was and he started when he was 15 and retired when he was 60 yeah like a lot like a lot of them did back then. Yeah. Yeah, and I think when he left,

they said that he could have a ton of coal every year for the rest of his life. So he got 20 years out of it. Hey! Wait, so he took it. A ton of coal! What did he do for a ton of coal? What's he doing? What does he even use the coal for? He was smoking a brisket like every Saturday. Santa Claus kept going back to him.

It's the West Coast. He still had a house with an open fire. So, Like, it was every night, you know. Even if it's like 30-fewan degrees, he's like, no. How bad I'm doing it this far away? So you're saying that's a good thing. I would have been like coal. No, you're all good, man.

Nah, I don't want that. No, but you're talking about these houses, you know, like. With heat pumps? They're not insulate. I grew up, you know, I grew up there going there, and it was freezing cold. So it's actually a fantastic thing. If you think about it in our lives, it's like free heat pump electricity for the rest of your life sort of thing. Fair enough.

Okay, good. Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Yeah, so it's benefited a lot of us because, you know, we've scored a bit out of it too. I don't worry, Andrew. Dan just doesn't know how to build a fire, so he's like, I don't know what to do it. Well, I don't use coal. I have a fire. I use fire starters.

Little Lucifer's they're called. Yeah, good, actually. I just know coal from when Santa gives you it when you've been a naughty boy. This is going to piss people off. I worked in recruitment for a while. When I left, they did a morning tea, a lunchout. They took us out for an activity and dinner with OpenTab. Everyone did speeches for me as well as buying a present to say,

well. I felt very special after working there two years. Oh, you must have been the personality higher. Yeah, absolutely. You're the person that's keeping the glue together. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I think glue keeps the glue together. Right. You're the glue that keeps the glue together.

Oh, I missed that one. That's one of Meg's quotes. Clint, Megan Dan. Lesh go! 8 o'clock this morning will help take the edge off. Sammy from Hamilton has told us what she could do with a bit of cash for. My eldest daughter turns 18. I need money to help cover the cost of going out for her birthday lunch as well as her 18th birthday party as well as a present. Yeah, an 18th birthday present sounds expensive. It does

sound expensive. The special one is a special one. Yeah. All right, well I wouldn't recommend buying her this book. Okay. I don't think it's available anymore, surely. No, you can. I've managed to get myself a copy. It's hardcover. It's called Men, a translation for women by Joan Shapiro. Books by Boomers It's a study of male behaviour and offers insight into why men fear intimacy how they deal with their emotions the male sports obsession,

the male sex drive, and why men shut out their feelings. So it's for me to be able to have men transanded and go, okay, get it now. When was it written? Do you know what? 1992. Shocking for some of the things

that I will not be able to repeat on here that Joan has said about what should be happening. Oh, her name's John. Joan. Joan, of course it is, isn't it? But I have two... Actually, I'm lucky enough to work with four fabulous men, and I would love to know your input

about whether this is correct or not. Okay. This is the start of the chapter six. And she explains a situation between, I'm guessing, clients of her. She might be a psychologist of some sort. It had been five weeks since Justin and Kay have brought their new son, Drew home.

Terrible name for a baby. No offence. True. It just feels like an old man's name to me. Jones is not much better. I'm just going to call them baby. All right. It had been five weeks since Justin and Kay

had brought their new baby home from hospital. The baby was their first child. Five weeks. Kay, the mum, had taken a much desired six-monthly from work. She wanted to spend

uninterrupted time with her new baby and wanted the opportunity to get adjusted to her new role as a mother. Can we all agree that? Yes, that's sounding good so far. Not everyone's back at work

in three months like me. Thank you, Clint. Justin, the husband, had taken some time off of work as well, mostly in the form of leaving early in the afternoons. Good on him. He would come home and relieve Kay, and he would really enjoy his time with the baby. Good on him. That's just a good.

He doesn't get home from work and think that the job's over. The job's just beginning. It's his turn to pick up the slack. Good. He was feeling pretty secure that the baby was his. So that's a bit of a weird one. But it's always reassuring, isn't it, when you find out it definitely is yours. I was stoked when I found out for sure.

Our son had blue eyes and both my wife and I both didn't have blue eyes. It's interesting. Then I found out it, you know, it always pays to just check. It's somewhere down the family tree. Okay. But there was trouble in paradise. Oh, no. Oh, what's happening?

What's Joan said? Kay, the mum, would take the baby to the nursery to feed him before bedtime. Without any discussion about it, Kay seemed to assume that this was private time for her and the baby. The baby would fall asleep after the feeding. And Kay, the mother would emerge from the nursery, soothed and sleepy herself. Yes, Stan. She would tell her husband, what a wonderful husband and father he was.

Say how much she loved him. Kiss him good night. And then go to bed. That minks. Wait. What's she doing in the nursery? No, Dan. No, she's missing a crucial part of her day.

Oh, ding, ding, Clint. According to the book. Sorry, she... Justin felt profoundly rejected. The doctor had it. that they could start having sex after a month. Oh, that's even a month's a bit long. And what's the dad's name?

Justin's got to put in the diary, eh? Well, today's the sixth of May, so that makes it the sixth of June. A month! It'd been five weeks, so she said a week. He's given her extra week. He's given her a bit of grace then. Yeah, right. Justin had asked about her sexual interest fairly early on, so two weeks in.

He's probably like... Fair enough, she's in. Two weeks in. How much longer until the four week mark? She's at four minus two, Justin. had explained that she just didn't feel any sexual desire since she was getting up with the baby every night and was awfully tired. Leave her. Justin felt as if his role as a husband was now just limited to provider and father.

He had impregnated her, given her long-for child. And now she was through with him, and he was basically dispensable. She had no need for another now that she had a baby. He was shocked at how insensitive she was to his needs. he had a deep sense of loss and was jealous of the child. Hashtag team Justin, Ann. Books by

Shockey Pooke. It's been five weeks. She's died. She's getting up in the night. Pray for Justin. Pray for a month without it. I don't know how he's coping. Also, Drew feels insulted.

Sorry, Casey feels insulted saying my daughter's name's Drew. Drew for a girl is actually great. I was a boy Sorry, I'm on team Justin Alright, hey coming up next Do you want to know how to get a pay rise Because we have a sick career coach

Leah Lambert Who's going to tell you how to get a pay rise The next time you ask Clint Meg and Dan Oh my gosh 39% of Gen Z are happy with their current salary But that makes them the least satisfied generation In fact 87% of Gen Z

expect the pay rise in the next 12 months Leah is an employment expert and she joins us now to tell us how to get more money. Morning Leah. Good morning. Thanks for having me on. So that's quite a shocking statistic that 39% are happy with their current salary. Yeah, look, it is a concerning statistic. Probably not terribly surprising giving them cost of living increases. But what I thought was interesting in the salary pulse survey is that 83% of Kiwis are actually expecting a pay rise in the next 12 months,

yet only about 50% receive one. Leah, as a Sikh career coach, what are the biggest mistakes we make when trying to get a pay rise? So the number one mistake is that people try and link the pay conversation to personal reasons. You know, cost of living is going up. That should not be brought into the conversation at all.

That should only relate to the value that you've brought. Number two would be to do your research. So there's some really good resources out there where you can see what would be the average range for someone in your role, in your location, and what should you be earning? If you go onto the Sikh website, there's a Sikh Career Advice tab that's kept up to date with labour market information, including salaries. Is there any merit in seeking an offer from another company and then coming back to your

company that you currently work for and presenting that offer? To show your worth. Then trying to get a counter-offer from them. Before I became a career coach, I was a recruiter for 10 years, and we did see that happen a lot. Even if you do that, you go out to the market, you get a higher offer, you then get a counter offer from your current employer. In my experience, it typically damages the relationship. Could you do what Meg quite often does when it comes to seller in negotiations

and make up an offer? And just say she's got an offer from ZDM and then, you know, just double bluff. You just have to do it. You just have to make sure they're not makes. I think you probably have to be very careful when you're lying to, even a new employer, when they go, what were you on prior? And I've been told that you say, I'm sorry, I'm not comfortable sharing that. confidential information. It shouldn't really be relevant to the conversation what you were earning

previously. You don't need to disclose that. I definitely think people will do inflate that. And if you had to characterise man, woman, age bracket, the type of person that is more likely to get a pay rise this year, what do they look like? How old are they? Typically men are more confident having those conversations than women are. So I would say that males, GenX, you know, they're probably the ones that are willing to have those conversations. What we saw is that younger workers were lacking more confidence. I'm not surprised by that. No, it's not surprising.

Okay, so if in the next 30 days someone is thinking about having that conversation with their boss, how should that conversation start? Number one, do your prep. Think about what you think you should be paid in the market and where you sit within that scale. Secondly, I would document your achievement. Think about the last 12 months in particular. What have you brought to the organisation?

Always lag that you are wanting to have that conversation with your manager up front. I don't think you want to really shock them by bringing it up without any heads up. Finally, keep any personal reasons out of the discussion. What would you say if I just riskily just went into my boss and said shove your job up your ass and hoping that he would beg for me to come back? Would you recommend that?

Current job market, probably not. Yeah, yeah. It's fairly risky. Leah's listens to the show. She knows that you don't have that kind of pull-go-and-sales. I just thought I'd just run it past a professional. No, great, that's good. I'll wait under the edge.

What happened the last time you asked for a pay rise? Maybe we can learn from you or from your mistakes. Yeah, what did you do? Yeah, and it was one of those ones where when they did give you a pair rise, you go, shouldn't have bothered. It just pissed you off with how little they value you. 50 cents more an hour or what? It was like a huge pay rise.

I wait under the edge. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Right now, though, if you wanted to get some extra cash, we just had Leah on, who's a Sikh career coach telling us how to be more successful when going into a meeting about getting a pay rise. We'd love to know what happened the last time you asked for one. And what did you do? Like if it was a good pay rise, I want to know.

What did you do? You want to know, do you? Oh, gorgeous. All right, well, Larissa, you've never too shy to have the pay conversation, which is a start, because Leah was saying most people were too scared to have it. You've had the conversation? Yeah. Yeah.

How often are you having the conversation? Like if you had one last year, when are you doing it? it again. Funny enough, I did have one last year because I've switched jobs when it hits my one year because they'll either say yes or they'll negotiate. Yeah, you're true.

You're better to go and like shoot for the stars. I definitely think you go for like almost you go higher than you should even if you have the fear of being laughed out of the room but you anchor the mark. You're right if you throw out a number and they go, yep. And then you go oh damn it.

I think you've done a little more there. You just don't want to go too high where they're like, absolutely not. Get out of it. Thanks, Larissa. Thanks, Larissa. Yeah, yeah. Someone who's confident to be able to go into a room and ask what they're worth. An inspiration.

Hey, Jonathan. Good morning, morning. Morning, morning. So you've just had the chat with your boss? Yes, yeah, probably, yeah, like a week ago. How did it go? Yeah, but I had a different approach. I asked some more annual leave instead.

Oh, yeah. That's what that lady said. She said you can find other ways like annual leave. leave and that kind of thing. So you, what, Front Foot is saying, I'm not looking for more money, but I'd like more what? Yeah, well, I was pretty happy with my wage, but, yeah, I asked for extra annual leave because of school holidays and being a solo dad, so it's, yeah, you have to have a lot of leave per year. So, yeah, so it just takes the edge off a little bit instead having to try and save to, you know,

take unpaid leave. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, and so they actually have money, eh? And that's what Clint does, isn't it, Dan, where he gets like 4,000 weeks more than us? Yeah, it seems. It seems he does. Who should negotiate a Clint? I want them.

Wow, good on you, Jonathan. Yeah, a lot of people are saying that that's a trick around it, like getting more leave or that kind of thing. Because time is money, right? Someone said that after thinking through what they wanted to say and organising the time and doing all the things, they went in the boss said, I could probably do a dollar more an hour, or maybe actually let's make it 50 cents more. hour. Oh, we're down instantly. So negotiated himself down and said, how's that?

Happy with that? I shored them out of the room and they said I was literally looking for jobs, different jobs the next day. Yeah. God, they went for a dollar and then went, so negotiated with himself for boss. I could do a dog. I started too high there. They sort of rubbed it in his face.

Yeah. That sucks. No, no, no, you just said a dollar more an hour. He's like, no, change my mind. All right. Well, let's see if we can take the job financially by paying. for what you have asked for. So many people have registered.

If you have, and we call you in the next few minutes, please answer the phone with Take the Edge Off My Life. And then we will. Next. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Turn the edge on to take the edge off. Let us know what you need us to pay for. And if we call you and you answer the phone,

take the edge off my life, we will. And everybody so far has done it. We haven't had someone go, hello, or Kiyo, or anything like that. It's been amazing. I think the longer we do this, and we're doing this for a wee while to keep getting them in, then I think we're going to risk the chance but hopefully not now

not now okay Meg's got a number let's punch it in someone is needing a bit of a cash injection because they've got three hungry kids yeah many groceries fair enough yeah especially when they're all doing

looking at this all doing winter sports and going to and from trainings so they're just forever in the pantry okay this one we need them to answer right okay here we go yeah standing up That means it serious. Take the edge off my life.

Yes. $100 for your groceries to feed your family with three kids. I've made my week. Three boys as well, they eat a lot. You're a two-year-old and eat it's more than me. What are the ages, Jessie? I've got three, nine and thirteen. Oh, yes.

The 13-year-old especially will be needing a lot of snacks. 300 bucks just to stock up on cereal, basically. I remember that when I was 13, just eating breakfast for, like, As a pre-dinner snack? Why do boys teenage boys love cereal for any time? Hey no, it's just boy, I still do it. Yeah. What's the go-to that feeds them from the supermarket, Jesse?

Oh, we've got, Milo, we've got noodles, we've got, you name it, they'll eat it. Yeah, nice. Described my childhood. Yeah, frozen-ticket-tenders and the air fryer and some noodles and they're sorted. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah.

Yeah. That can be hungry. With the chicken. All right, Jessie, well, it sounds like you're going to be busy. Getting three boys to school this morning, but we'll get that $300 into your bank account ASAP, eh? Oh, amazing. Thank you guys so much.

It's awesome. You deserve it. You're a great mum. Yeah, keep those entries coming in like Meg said. We've got $30,000 to give away. So, man, your share, if you want your share of it, text Edge to 33443. And we'll try to hook you up the same time tomorrow,

seven and eight. We've got Dan Zari coming up next. I think it's a goodie this time around. I'm really excited for today's entry. to read it to you boys. Oh no. This is, if you haven't heard it before, Dan Starry, that we found in his mum's attic

from when he was about 16 years old, 15, 16 years old. I was a cantankerous young man, wasn't I? You were. I get to read it before he's read it. Normally, Dan, you're the only one that's embarrassed. Meg said there is somebody else who is going to be rather embarrassed in today's entry. Embarrassed or just angry.

I think they're going to say that you're a liar. So glad I didn't know Dan back then. So it's definitely not me. I didn't lie in that diary. It's all truth. Okay, all sweet. Clint, Meg and Dan. All right, we're all ready.

Top, just after 8 o'clock every morning, we look back and reminisce some of the things Dan pinned to paper as a kid into his diary. Between the formative ages of 13 and 18, a young Dan Webby sat down every night to write a diary. And now, the contents of those diaries are for us to read and for the nation to enjoy. This is Dan's diary.

We need to get that changed. I wasn't sitting down at night. It was at school during class. I'd have to write. write it. That's very irrelevant, isn't it, Meg? I'd be worried about the stuff you put in the diary. I don't know. I'd sound like too much of a loser.

I think it's the least of your worries with this entry. All right. Nick Alistair and I got our sonny's confiscated for wearing them at assembly yesterday. Inside. Oh yeah. When we had like dirty dogs, we all got like the same pair. Oh my God. Imagine if they came back.

Mine had brand new Oakley's for my birthday. Pissed. School should not be allowed to confiscate private property. They are lucky to have me at this school. Oh, God! You're right, where did I lose my arrogance? Because there was at some point where I lost confidence because I'm not that arrogant now.

Yeah, what was it? Something really knocked you down more than a few pigs. Yeah, I don't know what it was. Chris came over on Saturday night, and we hired a PlayStation from Video Easy. Chris is still my best friend, by the way, we're besties. He lives in New York, though, now, so we don't see each other often.

We stayed up, ate ice cream, chicken, nuggets and chips. It was actually really great to see Chris. because we never see him at lunch anymore because he goes home. He says he goes home to eat, but we all know the real reason. He just needs to stop denying it and admit it. I'll do the same if I live that close. Here's the thing. Who's going to lunchtime?

You can hang out with your mates and he's choosing to go home and eat a sandwich by himself. No, I don't think he's eating a sandwich. Put it that way. So you just think he's doing Player 1 games? Play of 1 game. He's like a 15-year-old boy. Dad said he won't. If he lived close enough, he'd go home and have a play a one game every day.

I was 15. And the saddest part, Chris lives overseas. So he's not even here to defend himself. He won't be listening. He would, I bet he would probably... You think he'd admit it? I think he would. Do you think he would?

He must have to call him. What's he doing? There's no way he'd admit it. If he didn't admit it then, he's not admitting it on national radio. So our college, Howard College is there, and there's a road called Raid and Place where he used to those parents don't live there anymore. but he lived literally down the bottom of that road. It was probably like a three-minute walk from the school to his house.

I think you would have gone home and had some one-on-one tan time, but I don't think he was. He probably would go and have a quick sandwich and then head down to his room to do homework. We're going to call him. Do you have his number? He lives in New York. Yeah, yeah.

He's gone into bigger and better things now. Although weirdly, his house is still very close to where he works. You think he's still doing it? All right, I'm just checking. Time in New York. Let me see. It's like 4.30 in the afternoon. All right.

Oh, okay. Well, I know he should answer. Okay, let's get him on. Oh, God, are we actually calling him. All right, we'll call him next. Clint, Megan, Dan. Right. Dan's mate from school has no idea.

I don't think we're about to call him and find out if... What, player-wide games? Yeah, that's the best way to do. I mean, hopefully, understand. Stan what a play one game is. We're talking about a 15-year-old boy racing home every lunchtime from school. When Stan says, I'd be doing it. Let's just remember.

This is a diary entry from my diary from well over 20 years ago. Okay. He probably doesn't even remember. Okay, well, let's see if we can refresh his memory. He's in New York, but the time difference is, he's like afternoon, early evening. Does he know we're calling him?

No. Okay, so you've flipped him a text, but he hasn't seen it. Oh my God. Oh, suddenly he's back. Hello. Hi, Chris, it's Meg. How are you? Ang, Clinton, Dan.

I'm good, how are you, man? Okay, I'm very good. Chris, hang up now. You're going to regret this. I swear. You're going to be thankful to be able to defend yourself. I've just read an entry from Dan's diary, and he has accused you of something,

and I think you would like to have your say. Okay. How are you, by the way? It's great to hear your voice. We haven't spoken a long time, and I've been a shit friend, and I'm sorry. No, you're good. I am doing well.

I'm not looking forward to this. You were going to hate this, by the way. You're going to hate it. Okay. Dan said about this about you, you'd car. Chris came over on Saturday night. You played PlayStation, blah, blah, blah, blah. It was great to see Chris because we never see him at lunch anymore because he goes home.

Dot, dot, dot. Now, so far, that's right, though, isn't it? Because you used to go home all the time. That is accurate, yeah. I lived across the road from school, and so I'd go home. He says he goes home to eat. but we all know the real reason. Dot, dot, dot.

He just needs to stop denying it and admit it, exclamation mark, exclamation mark, I'd do the same if I live that close. Now, Chris, were you going home every day and having to play a one game? I'm being accused of going home from school and having a week every day. Yes.

Unfortunately, that is exactly what you're. I would probably say, At least 50% of it. Not even. On the other side of the world. What were you doing the other 50% of the time out of Curial City then? Probably just having a sandwich. Wow.

Yeah, true. All right, well, from what I hear through, Dan, you have a very high-paying, high-powered jobs. We'll let you get back to that, I think. Awesome. It's great to hear from you, Dan. Lovely to speak here. Haven't seen in so long. We'll talk again in another six months.

All right. Bye. Bye. Bye. Edge Breakfast with Clint Meg and Dan. Wow. What do I know? What do I know? Wow. So that does happen. Yeah. I did know. I know for sure, but now I do. Now you do.

I honestly thought he was going to deny that. Me too. Hey, Spotify, it's just turned 20. So they're doing a Spotify wrapped a little earlier than they normally would, but they're not just wrapping up the year. They're wrapping up the entire time you've been on Spotify if you've joined in the last 20 years. Yeah. Have you seen this already and got yours?

or are you just hearing about it now? You can send yours through if you do know about it. Yeah, we'd love to get your most listened to song of all time. So go on to Spotify. It'll bring it up straight away. You've actually got to save the playlist and then it'll rank your playlist from the most listened to song

to, you know, the 20th most listened to song. I hate to think what my number one is. We'll cue ours up, but there's a little bit of admin involved. We'd love you to share yours with us. So just open the app, save the playlist, and let us know what's at the top. And we'll do it next on the edge.

Spotify is 20 today and we want to know what is your most listen to song of all time because it will curate a playlist for you and at the top will be your song I love people like Abby though said I don't really have one because I just listen to the radio Good on you, Abby! That was a test, you got the right answer.

Yes, they also fired me some a little bit a little bit salty with Spotify. Oh, it used to be the voice, right? Do the voice quickly. Go on. Tat the bat and I'll learn more. Oh, God, it's good. But I'm pretty sure they still use me, they just don't pay me anymore. and so they should

Okay, so let's go through ours and then we'd love to go through yours It says a lot about you, I think, your most listen song of all time. How was yours, Meg? Oh, no. It's the Demi Lovato version as well. No, I think it was meant to be the Alsa version.

I don't know why we've got this one here, but it was the frozen... We don't have Alsa version. No, it's the Let It Go, Alsa version. I have a daughter, and I mean, I know now how many times I played it on my... my account. My husband must have about the same

amount of times on his. It was 193 times I played that song. That's shocking. And this is since, I've had Spotify since like 2012. So somehow that was just, I must have just absolutely Wow. At least it's not the wiggles. It was second, that was Hot Potatoer's number two. Okay, banger. Banger. Yeah, it is a bagger, yeah. Replayability.

Don't read too much into mine. This was my number one artist. And then, no surprise that he would also be my number one listen to a song of all time. This is so you. Is this the song that you try and you know, be intimate with your wife with as well?

The Amber shows how many times he's tried. He's like, it's on again, hey. He'll put it on. So why do you keep play the song every night about 7pm? Just sneak up behind her or she's gone? Making kids' lunches, dinner, whatever. It's really reflected our lives, I feel like, Clint and I. Okay.

Mine's very surprised. We're not surprising, but we're surprising. to me, but it makes sense. So my number one song of the last 15 years was Take You With Me by Luke Combs. And it's about being a dad. And I remember I had a dad playlist

when my wife was pregnant and I was listening to all these songs about fatherhood and then my second song is forever now my Michael Bublay about his kids growing up. Oh wow, so yours about being a dad. Mine's kind of about being a mum and Clint's about being a pest. Yeah. And then my number three.

was defying gravity from wicked. All right, what about you, boys in the booth? Producer Brady and producer Carl. Mine was J-Cole, Wet Dreams. How old are you, bro? 20. Yeah, yeah. Checking out.

All right, what about you, producer Carl? Mine's about dreams as well, but not wet ones. It's Fleetwood Mac Dreams. That's just so, Carl. See Carl dance around to this one after like, what, seven red wine. Yeah, again, Pesty. Pestey. It's entry level, Pesty.

It's not where... It's level two. This is your John Mayer. Definitely. It's not where dreams are just wet awake. Yeah. All right. It's worth a bash, I guess.

Just worth a try. Texas 3343. Let us know what the song is if you have gone into Spotify and saved your playlist. Right at the top will be your most listened to song of all time. We'd love to play a few of the next. Clint Megan Dan. Clint Megan Dan. Spotify is 20 today, so if you want to know

what your most listened to song is, of all time, you can save the playlist and right at the top, it'll tell you, and how many times you've listened to it? Could be embarrassing, Meg's was... Well, it was the answer version, to be fair. Oh, this one.

More annoying, I think. I know, I prefer the OG. Dan, a bit of Michael Booble. And, um, and John Mayer. I'm sorry. Sadly, Clint's the better one. Yeah, all three of us.

Isn't that sad me? Let's get into Blake. Blake, are we on the Hall of Fame, All of Shame? Yeah. What's your song? Rockstar by... Oh, yeah, that's good. Hall of Fame.

Yeah. Well done. How many times? Do you know? 425. Oh, you love that song. Damn. Wow.

Can you do the rap? Ah, not quite Oh, that's ridiculous, actually Blake, you need to be Listen to the lyrics more Now that's a good one Hall of Fame there Alright Dylan, you're calling up

Because you feel cool or Because you're embarrassed Uh, probably Probably a bit of both Okay, what was the song That you played the most on Spotify? Ice Cold by Netsky Oh, that's cool

Yeah, there's nothing roll with Netsky Sky This guy in every now and then, eh, comes to New Zealand, loves coming here. He's the nicest guy, Boris. He's such a nice guy, Boris. Yeah, he's not what you'd expect. You'd expect him to be too cool for school, but he's just really nice down to worth. Oh, Hayden Ellen, one of our faves, friend of the show.

What's yours, bro? Oh, a hall of shame. It's Maroon 5, what lovers do. Oh, God. I didn't think to beat this from you. Yeah, I thought you were cooler than this. I was pretty sure. So we got there, John Pretet 1?

Me and my wife Hayden one time argued for like a good 10 minutes before we just went to chat GBT. We're arguing over he says, I built a shed for you or I poo my S for you. Have a listen. We were both wrong, by the way. Yeah, very much. I don't think he built a shed for you. You would write a song about that.

She was like, no, because that would be a lovely thing to do for your partner. She goes, you can't do it. Unless it was like one of those flat-packed ones from Bunnings. Couldn't do that, I guess. He'd struggle through it. Maybe. He'd call his dad. Yeah, he would. People texting in, someone got Cher, the most listened to a song of all time.

I've found my people. I mean, this is a great song. Watch the video clip as well. Oh, she was hot. Someone else got The Weekend? You know what, this was in my top five. This was my first, most played song, The Weekend, Blinding Lights. Great soul, no.

And for the most listened to a song, since you've owned spot, have someone else texted in the old Stevie track. that you don't know. I was right. I sang this on New Zealand Idol when I was like 21 and I remember Frankie Stevens said to me after the song

I never forgot it. He goes, Clint, you know, you've done some cool things on the show so far but you got found out tonight, bro. What does that mean? That he didn't have a good voice. I didn't have it and then all this and he could see right through me

and I was like, oh, it was my greatest fear. And was the syndrome. It was. He was like, you got found out tonight. Because he thought that he could sing Stevie Wonder. It was so weak. How cocky can you get? I tried to hide behind the live band

Anybody can find the link to the footage What season were you Clint 3? Yeah No there's no footage Because there was this girl Who was putting up all the videos And I pretended to be from TV 3 And I said you're breaching copyright issues

You need to take them down now and they did No someone will have it Some will have footage of Clint seeing superstition Where did you audition Valentine Crowshirt No Oh No

No I did the Top 18, they split us into three groups of six. I did the Christchurch one, but it was a top 10 soul week. You won't find it. The only way you get it is off mum. She's not giving them to you. Okay, Christine. I'm coming to your house this afternoon again. Mum burned everything to DVDs.

You've got to find a DVD player first. Good luck with that team. Clint, Megan Dan. I think Noel Horan may be getting a bit of a telling off or at least putting himself up about sharing a little bit too much, perhaps, when he spoke to our night show yesterday. Lucy and Ollie.

Could they just be too good at interviewing? It was their first big interview, right? I mean, that's a skill, right? It's getting the interviewee, just nice and relax. A season campaigner like Noel Horan, he's done many interviews. Yeah, yeah, and to be fair, it sounds like he's very willing to give away this information, doesn't it? Yeah, take a listen. This is what he lets slip.

Do you have any cool events coming up in your calendar that you're excited for? That could be anything. I've got a couple of weddings that I'm going to coming up. We all love a wedding. Go on. Tell us more. A couple of mates of mine are getting married, so that's going to be very fun. It's like some old people used to work with.

I don't know. Oh, right, no, no. No, I get it. No, no. Just mate to mine. You don't know the date, though? No clue? Oh, my God, Lucy.

Leave it at there, right? I am not going, if that's a drastic. You're not going. Too busy playing golf, mate. I'm a busy man. Oh, now do you think he means he's just, that invites him haven't gone out yet

but it did sound like he's going that, I'm not going to that. Yeah, the only thing I can think of because either they've been engaged for a lot

longer than we thought they were which doesn't make sense because they've only been sorry Harry Stiles and Zoe Krivitz either they've been engaged for a very long time which doesn't really make sense because they've only dated for eight months

as far as we know or Nile knows he won't be invited for sure because they have no relationship anymore that's the only other thing because they're so sad to think of they shouldn't be invite two weeks

after they get. engage, no one. Especially not celebrities. But then you think he would say, no, I haven't been invited yet, but I mean, they only just got engaged. So fingers crossed, the invites in the mail. And then it makes him and Harry still look like they're good friends. Yeah, either he just like was meant to say, I'm not,

that's not the wedding, I'm going to because it isn't planned yet, or he said, I'm not going because he knows he won't be invited because him and Harry aren't making it. Maybe Harry doesn't want him there because Nilead's still focus. You know. We've all been there. No, that's... No, nobody's been there.

Dad, that's what you thought happened why you didn't get invited to your wife's friend's wedding because you would still focus. Dan's wife, if you don't know that story, got invited to invite to a wedding. And everyone's partners were invited except Dan's wife's partner, which is Dan. And then your wife came up with the reason as to why she didn't.

And she genuinely thought this, didn't she? Oh, she just said to me, like in a private, she was just like, I think it's because you'd still focus because you're famous. And I said absolutely. You think that's what Nile thinks, from Harry Stiles is what he made. I think she'd go, yeah, everybody would want to see him on.

There'd be so many famous people, more famous people than Noel Horan at Harry Stiles and Zoe Craffat's wedding. So his dad is Lenny Crabbit. Santon Isle. Yeah, true. He's going to steal focus. Sorry, Dad. There be so many famous people that. Someone might even ask Carl and Noel Horan if they can go and get him a top-up of their beverage. Yeah, yeah.

Thinking he works there. In fact, I think the least celebrity person will steal more focus because they'll be like, how the hell did you get him? Why is Dan Webbing here? Holy shit.
