Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. The breakfast show that we'll have you on the edge of your seats. They're back. This is Clint Meg and Dan. It's the edge bricky. 94-2. Good morning. It is 1 to 6th.
Starting point is 00:00:13 Still on your Tuesday. Morning. Good to be here. We will have you on the edge of your seat, won't we? It's not said in the thing. Dan will be on the edge of his. We're allowed to talk about the little secret interview that's happening after the show today. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:29 Producer car? Yeah, no, we can talk about that. Totally, let's go. Liam Lawson joins us. Not today, but after the show, we're having a chat with them, aren't we? Yeah, did you bring us their change of clothes? Undies, definitely.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Yes, yes, yes, yes. No, I think Meg meant, are you going to wear that? That's what you're going to wear. Oh, to me. I totally saw you would have, like, dressed up. You would have had all your gears on and your hats. Oh, I should have, to be honest, I didn't want to go too far because he'll be like he's a weird, like, superfan.
Starting point is 00:00:57 I want to come across cool. Yeah, but then also. now it looks like you don't even really like him at all. You've got no merch. Clint, now you've making me feel all self-conscious about myself. Yeah, like you look as much of a fan as I look. Well, I think I look more like a fan. Does he work for Portugal?
Starting point is 00:01:13 No, of course he doesn't. Okay, well, I don't know. I think I'm going to leave the questions to you, darling. Okay, yeah, please do. That would piss you off, I think, if I took her. Yeah, so how exciting. That's like Meg, you chatting with Phil Collins. Yeah, that'd be a really big, record of Ville Collins.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Who asked, could I... Jen Lawrence? I've gone off a bit. You don't like her anymore, do you? Well, I do. She just doesn't like dogs. Yeah. Does she? Remember she said she hates all dogs because her dog bet her kid and so she got rid of it?
Starting point is 00:01:39 She hates all dogs. In a way that she like put it down. Well, you don't know. She just said she got rid of it. Yeah. Surely she means. Gave it away. Gave it away.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Not, you know, put it in acid. So anyway. Liam Lawson on the show today. Yeah. That's going to be exciting. Later in the week. I can't wait. Really?
Starting point is 00:01:59 You're actually really excited. Ooh, the first race this weekend. Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, my gosh. Us versus the playlist for your 6-am throwback this morning. Maroon 5 and Wiz Khalifa Payphone. A couple of options. Camilla Cabo is, it's her birthday today.
Starting point is 00:02:23 She was born in 1997. How old does that make her 20? 7 years younger than me. Yeah. So 28. Yeah. Wow. It should be 29 today.
Starting point is 00:02:32 True. She's 29 today. I remember we blasted the song. And then the song with a boyfriend, they were like just so into each other. It was almost icky. She was posting all their PDA photos and stuff. Is he gay now?
Starting point is 00:02:55 What do you mean, is he gay now? Is he? I don't think somebody just becomes gay now. But I don't think he's with a man. Why? Because he broke out with Camelo Gabald. No, I know there was rumors that he was, you know, but maybe he has a...
Starting point is 00:03:07 I think he has a dear girlfriend, but he did say all of his songs he ever wrote were about Camilla, so I think it would be very hard to be the second. Maybe he's like bestotted by her, you know? Besotted. Yeah, there's no tea. The other option is, now this one, this is right up Clint Sally. In 1977, Ronan Keating was born from Boy's Own. Seven to seven.
Starting point is 00:03:33 It's a trusty for us. My third favourite roller coaster side. Yes, because I'm saying, my third favourite. I mean, and really I only have two favourites. What's your number one and two? Is it the same order? You know my number one favorite roller coaster song. Okay, well then this must be your number two then.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Is it Omi? Yeah, I'm sorry. Weird obsession with Omi that nobody else cares about. His Olin was so good. Babylon is another great song. I mean, if you just get around Omi's album just for a few minutes today, it'll put you in a better mood.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Because you had cheerleader. Hula Hoop was maybe a second single but never landed as hard as cheerleader. And then, Roller Coaster. We all say cheerleader was an absolute throther, wasn't it? Wasn't it just so good? Yeah. I mean, what was it also was, like, songs from the early 2000s being roller coaster-themed?
Starting point is 00:04:36 So many roller coaster-themed things songs. Oh, life is a roller coaster. Like, they're ups and there are downs, I guess. Yeah, true. Yeah, so there's this one. That was his first single, and then he released. There's a place of my own thing. Again, that's a hard pivot.
Starting point is 00:04:52 How are we gone here again, Rodin Kiddings' birthday? That's right. Yeah, so we're a roller coaster, then we go, he has. a rollercoaster song. We're all over the place. We just like, ironically, a rollercoaster on this show at times. You all want?
Starting point is 00:05:02 Yeah, we've got to do one that everyone knows. Chairleader? Cheerleader is such a good song. Okay, Maroon 5. Sorry. You're out of there. Honestly, get around his album. I don't know when he's done, but just the one...
Starting point is 00:05:14 Just the one that cheerleader and Hulu Hooron. Babylon goes hard. Actually, produce and Eves, give me a little Babylon, please, for after this. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. It's been a minute. Hula hoop was his other big one if you've only just tuned in this morning
Starting point is 00:05:29 We were saying his album actually went pretty hard But we only really heard these two songs But he also had a song Babylon These songs were just real upbeat Like, feel good songs I've never heard this one Never heard Babylon It's never been put in the radio
Starting point is 00:05:49 Until right this second down Yeah I'm sitting somewhere in a mirror Who's going Ooh I'm getting some play in New Zealand Oh I got six cents from New Zealand You're watching You single
Starting point is 00:06:04 S-O-B out now Son of the watchman It's not the worst thing It would have been said on this show It takes me stands for Staddy on Business Oh, he's a horse Yeah
Starting point is 00:06:16 Yeah Oh yes Do you know I'm a cheerleader Was my ex-girlfriend And I's like little song Why? I don't know Oh, why did you ask for it then?
Starting point is 00:06:25 No, I did it Just then before you did Yeah I don't know To be honest, at that point I hadn't realized and remembered. But when now I've heard it fully back, I was like, Jesus Christ, that was our song. That was your song.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I love the been, everywhere in the bit in Chile area, he goes, the girl's like, do I make you feel like cheating? And he's like, and I'm like, no, not really. No, you're all right. He's very honest, Romy. It's not really provocative, is it, at all? What were your ex's songs, Meg? Do you have songs with X's songs?
Starting point is 00:06:53 Yes, I had, um, Chris Brown was very big at the time. so I had no ear and also Ticitane always on my mind Those are my ex's songs Couple of bangers Yeah Those ones I think reminded me
Starting point is 00:07:06 No ear, Jordan Sparks Yeah yeah yeah No air And does that feel Or relationship You couldn't breathe around them Yeah what's that say About the relationship
Starting point is 00:07:17 But he wasn't giving you any space I think I was the one Probably not giving space Dan if that was not in Yeah Just being a clungy This is your one, that's right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Showed your age. When we used to burn, like, songs to CD, but I just, I just burnt this song like 15 times. Yeah, well, it's done it. That's the song. She would have gone on track to, and then being like, all right, what's this one? Oh, no one.
Starting point is 00:07:41 He's accidentally doubled up there on the, the burn of CD. What he thinks about me. Oh, my God. Oh, you just got to skip me. No, that's right. Okay, let's just skip forward to track eight. That would have seen every diction he's number.
Starting point is 00:07:55 I lose it. Honestly, it died unbelievably fast after I made that mix. He wouldn't believe it. He wouldn't believe it. I went to so much effort to just destroy it. So much effort. Just one song burnt 15 times. It's like, well, it took the computer a while to do that back then. I once found it just recently found my wife Hannah's CD collection.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Like, you know how you used to have those little flip cases and all the CDs in it? And it's literally just full of mixtapes from ex-boyfriends. like being like Hannah my love and I'm just like how many boyfriends did you have and she was like I think it's mainly one or two Oh they're just like lime wire fiends Is that what they used to do I never had girlfriends back of the day
Starting point is 00:08:38 So I didn't make mistakes You don't know Your mum just made you a couple of mixed birds She was like there's another pretty couple for you Ronan Keating's on there darling You're like Life is a roller coaster And you'll have ups and downs Daniel
Starting point is 00:08:49 When you get girls in your life Clint Megan Dan Lesh Go Scandal with Meg Green Actors Guild Awards There are a couple of speeches that really stood out to me One of them being from Seth Rogan When he accepted the best actress award
Starting point is 00:09:04 For Catherine O'Hara Who passed away a couple of weeks ago What was the reasoning behind that Because I know like he's obviously worked with her But I would have thought There would be other people That I would have assumed would accept an award before Seth He didn't say why
Starting point is 00:09:20 But he did say he was asked to I guess it's because it was his show. Yeah. It's the studio that she was working on. So he was her producer or director. So he saw her working on it and understood how well she did to behind the scenes. Catherine O'Hara, the studio.
Starting point is 00:09:38 She knew she could destroy and she wanted to destroy every day on set. I haven't said this to the other actors because I didn't want them to get ideas, but pretty much every evening before she had a shooting day on our show, So she would email me and Evan that always was pretty similar and it said, hello, I hope you'll consider the following. And then there would be a completely rewritten version of the scene. She was it.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Literally 100% of the time, it made not just her character better, but it made the scene better and the entire show better as a whole. I just absolutely love that. I think it's really inspiring as well for knowing that she had. he went on the rest of the speech to say that she was humble and kind but also at no point doubted her ability to know how good she was and I think that's really important.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Catherine O'Hara is one of those ones that I feel like we didn't appreciate her enough while she was alive. Like obviously she was incredible and Schitt's Creek and all those shows but I've heard so many amazing stories about her since she's passed. Yeah, I wish I knew more about her work
Starting point is 00:10:46 ethic as a woman with all these, you know, like over the years, incredible. And my papa always said you were as a good book when you die. Yeah, and Harrison Ford had got the achievement, honour, everybody talking about how amazing his speech was. I found a calling, a life in storytelling, an identity in pretending to be other people. The work I do with other actors is one of the great joys of my life. This is a tough business to get into. In my case, it's been a tough business to get out of. Thank God. because I love what I do
Starting point is 00:11:22 I'm indeed a lucky guy lucky to have found my people lucky to have work that challenges me lucky to still be doing it and I don't take that for granted this is very encouraging he is incredible if you know he sounds really old there
Starting point is 00:11:44 but he's so still with it and good if you haven't seen him in shrinking which was still filming up until a year and a half two years ago. The man is amazing. And 1883 as well. 1923 he's in? Is that different? 1883 is the prequel
Starting point is 00:11:59 to the one you just mentioned, which is the prequel to Yellowstone. One of the longest lasting relationships in Hollywood as well has been with Callista Flockhart who played Ellie McBeal in that TV show a few years ago, many years ago now. They've been married since 2010. So that'd be one of the longer marriages of like A-listers in
Starting point is 00:12:15 Hollywood, right? 83 years old. So you're arriving, 1923, the ones he ends, the pre-called Yellowstone, and then there's a pre-called of that. So if you like Yellowstone, you want to get your fix and you didn't know, get into those, they're bloody good. To be still working and being funny and knowing your mind and your brain and being able to remember scripts
Starting point is 00:12:31 in lines at 83? That's crazy, hey? Amazing. Amazing. Oh, best actor, Dan, you wanted to quickly guess. Oh, yeah, because... You could have been Tim Shalame. Timothy won it for Best Comedy or Musical at the Golden Globes, and that usually pushes to the Academy Awards. So best actor, any guesses team? Best actor. I would have said Tim.
Starting point is 00:12:49 It was Michael B. Jordan. for sinners. Oh, that was a great film. His reaction was so beautiful as well. I didn't grab the audio because he would just like head and hands sort of moment. But really, really incredible win for him. It's on one of the streaming services. Is it neon?
Starting point is 00:13:06 One of the ones that I have at home. But like, yeah, if you... It's a bit of a freaky watch, a bit gory, but it's great. Yeah, and very, very different. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Get amongst it. If you get a chance to watch it and you see it pop up on whatever streaming platform you might have at home,
Starting point is 00:13:17 love it. Really cool win for him. All right. First call of the day next, if you want it to be you, oh, 800 the edge, especially if you're one of those people, like, I don't, remember the people we met over the weekend at the festival at electric game, going, I don't call, I can never get through. And we said, yeah, can at 6.30.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Oh, yeah, there was that guy that we met when we were walking home at 11. Yeah, he said, it was you. I've got a name. And he said he was got a call. So this is the moment for him to do it. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. First call of the day. First call of the day.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Morning, Caitlin. Morning. Morning. Morning. Just me a little laugh because producer Carl is a very bad speller and every time he writes somebody star sign I have to try and figure out what he means. Are you an Aries?
Starting point is 00:14:00 No comment. Erie? Caitlin? Hello? No. Oh, we've lost her. Maybe she gets offended when you talk about Star Sign. You know?
Starting point is 00:14:09 No, let's ask her another question. It says here, you're a paramedic. Are you a paramedic? No, we've just offended her now. I've pissed her off too much down. Oh, come on me. What about if Clint asked her a question? Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Clint, you have a go. Okay. Um, a rotterua. Have you been in the Zorb? Caitlin? I went on the Zorb one time, just to think it wasn't really a vibe, and it was so good. She's gone.
Starting point is 00:14:36 That one was the worst one, clip. Can I just say, though, the Zorb? I didn't realize they fill it with water, and they fill it with warm water. A little bit. And it's because I did it in winter. And then you hop in, and it's like going down a bouncy water slide. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as I'd doing this all with my husband
Starting point is 00:14:56 and then watching the video back and seeing his face in pure terror getting bounced around that ball. My God. Did you go in duo with it? We went to duo and it was just crutches and legs. It was just honestly, I'm just thinking about it now. I'd seen his face just about he, he like carked it on the back of his neck. Oh, it was so funny. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:15:15 And then they'll put me in a van. It's a very damp-smelling van because you get in your kind of wet, obviously. Drive you to the top. But if there's a queue, there's a spa up there. And you can just sit in the spa and keep warm before they put you in the zone. It's actually so good. Dan, we should go in one together one time. It was so funny doing a duo.
Starting point is 00:15:31 It would be a riot. All right. We have Nick now to talk as our quarter of the day. Hey, Nick. Oh, Nick. Good morning, guys. How are you? Well, me and Dan meet you, didn't we?
Starting point is 00:15:41 Where was Clint? You did, you did. He'd gone AWOL. Yeah. I think he was getting pissed somewhere. He was getting drunk somewhere, for sure. Yeah. That doesn't sound like me.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Yeah. How did your time go at Electric Ave? It was really good things. Yeah, really enjoyed it. It was good, yeah. The amount of people there, it was... It was full on, eh? Yeah, it didn't.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Yeah, it was not. Really great. Who was your favourite act? Who did you like seeing the most? Um, either Keisha or Becky Hill. Probably one of the shows. We didn't really talk about it much, but Becky Hill forgot her lyrics, hey? Not the first time she's done it either.
Starting point is 00:16:22 A couple years ago, she stuffed them up as well. Maybe it's just that one song. A couple of her bigger sogs as well. She was like, I don't remember. I'm surprised. I'm thinking, yeah. She just forgotten what she was thinking. Did you kick on after the fact?
Starting point is 00:16:34 Or do you just home after the day? No. No, no, home. I'm boring. I went home. I think when you came on. As did we. I mean, me and Dan went in, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:44 made love to cut pillows. That's a long story. But I think the people that kicked on, the people that kicked on, the people that. kicked on after it, especially on the Friday night, regretted it. I don't meet anyone that was like, oh, I kicked on last night and loved every second. I'm glad I did it.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I'm so glad I did. Yeah, no, you're right. Produce Anipia? You kicked on. I kicked on and I loved it. Your face on Sunday. No, I was a shell of a man on Sunday. I honestly was.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Nick, we, hopefully one day you'll meet Clint if he's not drinking somewhere, so just try and find him. Anytime before 11, you're pretty safe. Let's say 10. Okay, you need a time before 10. Thanks, Mac. Oh, yeah, the Bicky Hill moment. It's not that, sorry. This is the first time this has happened.
Starting point is 00:17:36 We're going to start this again. If you don't like it, go to another stage, I guess. I did notice that Keisha had the lyrics on, like, screens in front of her, yet she was lip-syncing most of it. No, she was not. No, she was not. Clint Megan Dan. Stinky boo.
Starting point is 00:17:55 It's time to get naughty at 640. My darling boys. have done their bromantic fiction and for many years now we have done this segment where I start the story off and they get to finish it and we kind of go and see where you end up at different places. This time around
Starting point is 00:18:12 I gave you full creative freedom to create your own stories from start to finish. Yeah, so usually Meg writes the intro and we sort of carry it on. Not the case this time. Not the case. You have gone on very different paths which isn't surprising. Dan, I am still confused that you are saying that you have haven't gone down the character sort of.
Starting point is 00:18:32 No, mine's based on a barman and a regular customer. Yeah, but the barman, you've based on a very famous, like, movie character. Not at all. Like, Clint, you're going to die. He's, if you don't know what you've done, you've, like, described a very, you've described someone. Like, from the accent to the outfit. I've described, I would say, a classy, like, British man, like a very classy. James Bond.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Oh, it's not James Bond. No, no, no, no, no. Opposite to James Bond, I'll give you one more guess, but they are British. Opposite to James Bond? Like, not a very, yeah. They're not a secret agent or anything. They're a barman.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Opposite of James Bond. Yeah, the least James Bond person probably. He's just a normal person. Mr. Bean. Oh, no. It's a sexy movie. Oh. Well, I mean, the opposite of James Bond is Johnny English.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Well, it's kind You're getting closer there You've done a story about Austin Powers I haven't You have Austin Powers You've done a whole story about Austin Powers He's done slogans
Starting point is 00:19:39 Clint he's a barman with a hairy chest And she's just jumped to Austin Powers Does he say Shagadallic baby? He does say baby a lot But If he doesn't put Shagadalic At the front of it I don't know
Starting point is 00:19:50 If I can pay it Maybe I should have I think you've I think you've subconsciously done it And Clint there are quite a few lines where I found myself saying out loud that's a stupid line
Starting point is 00:20:02 were you rereading the same line No there's about five or six I did laugh though there were a few that It was very funny Was it meant to be funny? No it's not a comedy It's a sexy I mean I was never on dating apps
Starting point is 00:20:15 When I was... You can tell When I was younger So I was like Ooh I might just write about a sexy Like swipe hook up And then straight to a one-night stand It's so lame
Starting point is 00:20:25 His main male character is an astronaut and the woman's a masseuse. Oh, piss off, Clint. Like an astronaut's on Tinder. No, it might be. Hard to find anyone when you're at work. You know, you're working with them all the time. You don't screw the crew,
Starting point is 00:20:39 not if you're going to be in space for eight months. Yeah, not much swiping on Mars. Yeah, okay. Well, maybe he's on Tinder he's got some very bad pickup lines this poor astronaut has been stuck in space too long, far too long. Yeah, he might have just come back from a mission
Starting point is 00:20:52 and he was a little rusty. I would say that this one, week, somehow Clint has won Dan, because you made it Austin Powers themed. It's not Austin Powers' theme. I can't stress how much it's not Austin Powers. He's wearing a craviate. Like, one of those silk neck ties.
Starting point is 00:21:07 It's a cravat, me. Exactly. And it's groovy, baby. Yeah. Can you hear some Austin Powers backing music? Thanks, producing. I might roll that under Dan's. It'll ruin the story. Yeah. I think all right. Hey, well, you wrote it, mate.
Starting point is 00:21:20 All right, we talk. Hangover Cures before 7 o'clock. Dan had a theory. that he found online from a doctor. And people were going, BS, BS, this is complete false. So what is your go-to? We'll rehash this one next. Maybe a hash rehash, rehash-brown. Oh, maybe.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Hash-Brown when you hung over. Yeah, very good. Anything greasy. Fish and chips. Yeah. I don't think there's any cure. Just don't drink that much. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Clint's confused. That's always the plan going in, Meg. The morning after we go, damn, stuffed it again. Clint, Meg and Dan. We were talking yesterday about hangover cures and one in particular from a doctor, according to Dan. And people were saying, nah, mate, I think you got that one wrong, Dan. He is a doctor.
Starting point is 00:22:06 He's a official doctor. I mean, I'm sure he is, but I think there are, like, good doctors and bad doctors. Like in every career span, there's good radio people and bad radio people. For example, you can guess which one he is. And I think this is bad doctors. And you looked at 10 when you said bad. Oh, I don't know. Oh, I check the tape.
Starting point is 00:22:27 He's opposite to date. So, yeah, what did this doctor say? Do we need a reminder? There's actually three reasons. For one, it's going to give you a dopamine hit. Oh, sorry. Fries and a Coke. Yeah, fries and Coke.
Starting point is 00:22:38 There's actually three reasons. For one, it's going to give you a dopamine hit that's going to make anyone feel better after anything. Two, a large Coke is going to have 85 milligrams of caffeine. And that is more caffeine than a leading medication for migraines, excels during migraine. And if you didn't know, yes, caffeine can be a relief for a headache, especially a migraine.
Starting point is 00:22:57 And three, those French fries are going to have a ton of salt, which is going to hydrate you just like an electric tablet would. I'll be honest, he doesn't sound like an object. He would try me crazy. Imagine if I was sitting there, I'm getting really bad hairy creams. He's like, well, you need a fries because those fries will make you. Like, it just doesn't sound like a doctor, does he? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:16 But lots of people are texting through their hangover cures. Mel's called through. This one's an interesting one. Morning Mal. Good morning So do you do this every time you've been out drinking What is your little hangover cure? Well it's generally
Starting point is 00:23:29 Toast leathered and marmite With a glass of water before bed To give you the salt Because you're hydrated I think that kind of salt is probably More likely going to do better Like marmite Like a yeasty savoury spread
Starting point is 00:23:44 Rather than fries Do you put butter on as well Because I love marmite With like lots of butter Of course of course But like the doctors back in the day used to just put a saline drip in there. 30 minutes before work. So surely that does the trick too.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Yeah, that could be a good one. I mean, I don't know why Powerade just doesn't market. The blue Powerade is a hangover cure. Yeah. Like, I mean, I know they're always like, the sports drink and you've got like Stephen Adams, like, dunking and stuff, and they must be paying him a crazy amount of money. Just like we only drink the blue when we've been drinking the night before.
Starting point is 00:24:17 That's why everyone drinks it. But I think everybody knows that they don't need to, market it because everybody just knows Blue Powerade's the cure. Producing eight. You always need to have one friend dedicated going and getting the Blue Ambulances after a night out and it's always the least hungover person that has to go and get them. Blue Ambulance to save your life.
Starting point is 00:24:34 We'll buy them like the day before him in the fridge just in case you never know if the bot's going to get pushed a little further than you. You never know if you're going to be hungover, Clint. Every Sunday morning. Clint's got like a fridge just dedicated to Blue Power A house. They should sponsor me, but they won't because they know why I'm drinking them and it's not so that I can push through in the second half. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:55 On the sports field. They're in a steak and cheese pie. Oh yeah, steak and cheese pie. Always better after a pie. Mmm, from Zed. Delicious. Yeah. Or the cheeseburger one.
Starting point is 00:25:04 We bumped into Kayla who makes the cheeseburger pie. Yeah. Just randomly, we're at the Loft Bar and Christchurch on the Thursday night last week. And she's like, you know that cheeseburger pie Zed you go on about? I was like, yeah, she goes, I make those. They make a thousand of them a day. Wow. incredible. And that's
Starting point is 00:25:23 just of the cheeseburger pie. She said there's like other, obviously, many other flavors. Yeah, we'll plant you. How many do you have a day? Probably limit it to about two a week. Two a week. And that's when he's hung over. Saturday morning, Sunday morning. Sometimes Monday morning.
Starting point is 00:25:41 If you are hungry, you can head to Zed and grab their new chicken protein bowl for only 892. You know, staying healthy and all that. All right, we'll take a Quick. Oh, actually, probably got time for another song while everyone else is playing ads. And then we'll give you a crack at winning 10,000 bucks with easy money. Someone else is said baking soda on a cap.
Starting point is 00:26:01 I don't think they mean in a hat, probably in the cap and then... Right, I got that here, yeah. Putting it in a cap, yeah, because baking soda, I don't imagine, tastes all that pleasant. Clint, Megan, Dan. About 7.30? Your chance to get along to Hillary Duff for free. We've got to fly away up for grabs the end of the week. Double pass.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Accommodation in Auckland. and also travel, whether that's, you might need some petrol vouchers if you're close or flights if you're far away. You just need to bluff us, Hillary Duff Bluff, be really good at making up a story or telling a crazy story that's so obscene that it sounds made up like this one from yesterday. My boyfriend drunk from a glassy thought was juice, but I'd actually urinated in it. Right, that's, okay. So you're saying it's a lie? Never true word said, Clinton. Marina, is that story true or false?
Starting point is 00:26:52 It's true. Yeah. Smart lady. That's disgusting. Smart ladies. Okay, I meant smart lady because she bluffed us so well in the way that she acted like she didn't have all the details. I'm not smart lady to pee in a car. You've been edited badly there.
Starting point is 00:27:06 I have been. I've been done dirty there by producing her. And it got so crazy after that. She goes, we were like, why did you have to pee in a cup? She said, oh, because I was living with my partner and his ex-wife. And she didn't like when I went upstairs to you. the bathroom. He's like, what?
Starting point is 00:27:20 So much to my pack. Never mind, and we moved on. But like, what are you doing? I kind of blame the partner on that one that he obviously didn't be, wasn't in a situation of like, hey, let's go somewhere else so you don't have to pee in a cup when we're together. Yeah. He's like, come over and sat my house. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:33 I don't want to go to yours. Yeah. Or he's come down and then she's, he obviously didn't know she peering in the cup because he drank it, think he was juice. So maybe he's like, babe, if you would have just thought that she didn't need to go wheeze. Yeah, that's what I mean. If you're busting, tell me, and you don't want to use the bathroom, and we'll sort it out.
Starting point is 00:27:48 How do you sort it out if she's not allowed upstairs? Well, I don't think he should be held responsible because she pissed in a glass and didn't tell him. She needed to go. At least provide a bowl or something. Like a cup, I'd imagine, it's quite hard, Meg, you'd know, having to aim into her as a woman. Poor thing.
Starting point is 00:28:06 If I just peed into a glass of your house, Meg, and then you're like, what are you doing? I was like, I don't know where the bathroom was. If I invited you over and you weren't allowed in a certain part of my house because there is a person that absolutely hated you there. Then yeah, it's on me when I've invited you over to provide a place for you to go at the bathroom. But you don't know that I need to go.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I haven't told you. She's uncomfortable in the house. I don't think there's too many excuses. We're allowed to disagree here, Clint. I know, but I think as a grown-ass adult, there's not any excuse for peeing in a glass. Go outside, pee in the garden. He should have provided at least a Shiwi.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Yeah, if she's going to be more. Producer-Gal. Can we send this to Hillary Duff and just let her know what she's started here? Yeah, yeah. All right, so if you've got an outrageous story and you think you can bluff us 7.30 this morning, if you can, you're going to be in the very tiny drawer of, I mean, inevitably, if everyone manages to bluff us this week, there's only going to be you and like four others in the drawer.
Starting point is 00:28:58 So far, so good for the bluffers. Okay, easy money next, 10,000 bucks on the line. If you think you can get it done in 30 seconds, your cuticle is now. Clint, Megan Dan. The Edge. The Edge is easy money. Here's your shot at $10,000. Morning.
Starting point is 00:29:13 If you want to give easy money a crack online, you can just by downloading the rover app and polishing up your skills there. But if you play seven and eight each morning, you have your chance of winning 10,000 bucks. If you can give us 10 answers, starting with the letter me, gives you, the cash is yours. Hi, Renata. Hello, my God, this is exciting? Is it? Renata, you smell like success.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Let's do this. I hope so. Okay, Renata, your letter this morning, a bit of a tough one. It's why. Oh, I know, I'm sorry. We don't even have it in my alphabet. But some of the tough ones that sound tough are quite often easy because there's only a few options for what the word is.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Yeah, yeah, right. Okay. Okay, you can pass if you've got time. We'll come back, but no repeated answers. Good luck. Ready? Thank you. Yep.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Give me something you can eat. Yogurt. A girl's name. Yolanda. A website. Yahoo. Something around. A sound?
Starting point is 00:30:15 A yo-yo. Something related to age? Yes. A song title? Pass. A river. Yemen? A brand?
Starting point is 00:30:27 Maybe. Ebsalaran. A seven-letter word. Oh, that's a question nine? Yorgut. Yeah, that was nine. Yeah, that was a really good effort. You were powering through the wise. Yeah, and they were hard. They were, even though you'd think that Y is a bit easier, but a song
Starting point is 00:30:46 entitled YMCA. You belong with me or yellow. That's a tough one. It's tough though. For the river you said Yemen. I'm just looking at that. There's not really a Yemen River. That's one of the hardest ones we've ever done. That isn't. I made it up. Yeah. But I would say truly that is one of the hardest
Starting point is 00:31:01 ones we've ever had of Yukon or Yarra River. I mean, I wouldn't be able to pick. That was a tough. That was a trick. That's all good. I'm so sorry. Thanks, Renata. All right, back again. 8 o'clock. Turns out Dan was wrong. Why wasn't that easy?
Starting point is 00:31:18 The Yukon River. But to be honest, she actually did pretty well to get through all of them. She did amazing. Yeah, it was a really good effort. A type of flower was the last one. Go on, type of flower. Why? Tick-dog, tick-tok.
Starting point is 00:31:32 I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. Yarrow, a yuka or a yelang-y-y-lang. Oh, of course, Yelang-Lang-Lang. Of course. Tumphor. We'll dumb it down next, I'm sure. Yeah, very, very, very dumb.
Starting point is 00:31:46 I, Dan and I have written some erotic fiction. Normally for the female gays, who knows. Let's just see if anyone enjoys it next. I think people will. Clint, Megan Dan. If I was you, I'd pull over your car right now if you're into erotic fiction because it's about to get saucy.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Right. Is it? No. I think you're safe. This is Daniels. Erotic fiction that he wrote for women. Oh, she's used my full name, Daniel. Daniels.
Starting point is 00:32:14 And for the first time, I didn't give the boys a prompt to start with. This is all him. I want to really reiterate that. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Let you're now painting it in negative light. Straight off the bat meg. Let people make their own. No, because the expectation is super low, so it's easier to jump over. Okay, Clint, if we could, once I begin reading, start the... If you could just start off my intro again, thank you. And now.
Starting point is 00:32:37 I'm heading out on a break. I yelled as I brushed another bead of sweat off my forehead. It was 42 degrees inside the pub. 42. Yeah, but you want it to be hot, you know, like spicy hot. Do you? They need to call the union. Yeah. I don't think there's any pub union, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:32:56 And every inch of my body was perspiring. This was my first shift as manager, and I wanted to leave a good impression. I asked my legs up and scissor jumped over the... Well, you wrote, asked! I didn't. I know that you're... It's a hundred percent I asked, but I asked my legs up and scissors. jumped over the bar landing perfectly which is bizarre in itself
Starting point is 00:33:18 like to do it too are they an like athlete high jump a jumper all right a loud applause rang out through the pub as they took an empty seat in an empty table it wasn't like if you think of that
Starting point is 00:33:31 it's an impressive thing to do like jump over the the pub bar especially when it's 42 degrees I am impressed okay that was quite the move you know your judo well I heard the voice say from behind me
Starting point is 00:33:46 I knew that vocal tone anywhere Oh actually I think I've done the wrong accent for the wrong thing Yeah you've done the wrong accent there me Okay that was quite the move you know your judo well Normal voice I heard a voice say from behind me I knew that vocal tone anywhere It was Gisal Jack Hoffman
Starting point is 00:33:58 One of the regulars Terrible name She was looking groovy wearing a lacy camisole Fish net leggings Air Force Ones and a cowboy hat No pants by the way Just checking in on that?
Starting point is 00:34:14 Oh she just she just had Was the camisole cover the... No, it's a signet. Oh, geez, I don't imagine the fish nets are leaving much to the imagination. Sorry, I should have given her pants. She does wear pads. You can come up with what she was wearing.
Starting point is 00:34:29 She's wearing a lacy camisole, fishnet leg against their four swans and a cowboy hat. The combination would look terrible on anyone else. But she made it look nine out of ten, which is also not ten out of ten. He thought probably the pants. Yeah, maybe if she had pants on it would be ten out of ten,
Starting point is 00:34:44 maybe. Or like a skirt or dress or something. It's hot though, remember? Yeah. True. Forty two degrees. Here we go. Austin Powers is about to come in, I reckon.
Starting point is 00:34:51 So I embuttoned three buttons on my suede shirt to reveal my thick chest here. She let out a low moan. So I knew she was into me. This was my time to pounce. Hey, baby, I'm the manager of the bar tonight. Fancy a drink. I asked her my sexy British accent as she moved my hook body closer to mine. Something stiff, she hussed, sending a wink my way.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Coming right up, baby. Oh, now you're making it. It's not supposed to be Austin Powers thing. It's a sexy British accent. He's got chest here, and he says, coming right up, baby, yeah. There's Harry Man in Britain. This is absolutely...
Starting point is 00:35:27 Yeah. Yeah, baby. It's not. It's not. It sounds like him. It's Austin Powers. It's not. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.
Starting point is 00:35:37 This is something. Coming right up, baby, yeah. I said as I reached for some top shelf whiskey behind the bar. But she grabbed my cravat, which is what Austin Powers wears, I believe. A classy British man, yes. And pulled me close.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Her lips now touching my ear, she added four words. I'll never forget. I didn't mean a stiff drink. Good line, eh? Because he's always terrible, bro. She's terrible smart. Well, you know what? It's the opposite of 42 degrees in here.
Starting point is 00:36:08 I am dry as a bone in here, mate. Okay. Well, he was spreading from head to toe. He was so gross as well. by the way. Giselle Jack Offman, that sounds like it's from Austin Powers.
Starting point is 00:36:18 You watch Austin Powers recently. You have, 10 years ago, it was not recently. Yeah, you have. Well,
Starting point is 00:36:25 you read a story about them doing another Austin Powers movie just before you wrote that and you were muddled. Apparently Austin Powers 4 is coming out.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Mine is so much better than that. Oh, I'm not sure about that. It is time for round two of bromantic fiction. If you just turned in, lucky you.
Starting point is 00:36:41 You missed Dan's romantic fiction, which was terrible. Austin Powers themed somewhere in the outback of Australia, 42 degrees. It was not either of those things. Also somebody, Sebastian pointed out perfectly. His last line was, she uttered four words that I'll never forget.
Starting point is 00:36:56 I didn't mean a stiff drink, which is six words. Math was off. Sometimes you're in the moment, you don't count, do you? Okay, Clint gets his read now. Remember, I didn't give them a prompt so they can go anywhere with this. Here we go, Clint. Ryan Steele, 32, astronaut. What a stupid one.
Starting point is 00:37:18 As you know what love to guys. Swiped a match with Brittany Summers' 27 masseuse. Oh. Clint, you're so stereotypical. Two very different professions. I know. They're not allowed today. They'll have nothing in common.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Nothing in common. At 7.52 p.m. By 8.01 p.m. Ryan had asked her out and decided she could be the one. That's a worry. It's nine minutes. They've been in space maybe for a long time. He's ready to settle.
Starting point is 00:37:44 He's desperate. Ryan arrived at the wine bar first, Brittany shortly after, in a short orange dress that left little to Ryan's imagination. Her dark hair falling around her shoulders like a waterfall of hair. Jesus, that's a lot of hair.
Starting point is 00:37:58 She wouldn't want to be in the 42-degree bar of your one. No, God, you get caught in you. Ryan flexed while reaching for the water. His gaze never leaving Brits. After one drink he leaned in, we should probably continue this somewhere. Wait, don't laugh with you, Zad.
Starting point is 00:38:17 He wasn't laughing. He wasn't funny. It's not a comedy. Clint hasn't got lucky for a while, I don't think, after hearing this. Sorry. We should probably continue this somewhere. More horizontal. Oh, for goodness sake.
Starting point is 00:38:32 What is that even mean? What, like laying down? Yeah, like in bed. It's so bad. He actually just met her. He's just reaching the water. You know, you know. He's flicks in his arm going, ooh.
Starting point is 00:38:44 She's just. sat down, he's gone, let's go to bed. Literally. I just met. It's a short story, so I've got to move for pace. Brett Stort stood up grabbing her bag. Well, times the ticking. Bloody, huh? You smile back.
Starting point is 00:38:56 They drove. That's another. They dove out of the Uber before he even managed to come to a stop. Like, they're in a hurry, man. I'm joining, sure. So they're both seriously injured, right? They're horizontal. Two stars to them.
Starting point is 00:39:09 If they're diving out before the cars even stopped. Yeah. It's not a good review. The door to the two of Brett. apartment flying open while their mouths did the same. Oh, terrible guesses. That's your worst one.
Starting point is 00:39:21 It's your worst one. They catch him flies. Oh, look like that. I get a good line here. Immediately and aggressively, they took each other in. Ryan's mouth filling Brits with saliva. He's just like,
Starting point is 00:39:36 no, no. That is like going for it. It's just straight out of the Uber, smash it into each other. Like, how, how. He's got lots of saliva So I'm guessing this next line goes like this He'll so hot
Starting point is 00:39:50 He blurted out I don't think he's an actual restaurant I don't think he's live On the CV He's live He's so hot He blurted out Britt tugged him closer
Starting point is 00:40:02 They stumbled towards the bedroom In a tangle of clothes Momentum the only thing keeping them On their otherwise naked bodies Minutes passed Then another minute and another and another
Starting point is 00:40:15 Jesus and another I thought you wanted a short story Eventually they collapsed That's six minutes Clint It's not that much
Starting point is 00:40:22 You've done minutes past Then another another Another another another That's six minutes Hey that's good for some people Some people Some people will be proud of that
Starting point is 00:40:33 Thank you Daniel Eventually they collapsed Side by side Brits stared at the ceiling That was unreal Commander She smirked. I and Ryan's Nassah polo laying on the bedroom before.
Starting point is 00:40:46 He's brought that off sheen. Definitely. Definitely. It's not Nasa, it's Naza. Yeah, she looks closely. She looks closely. It's a Timo one. Speaking of which I should get to work. Ryan sighed, but making no hurry to get up.
Starting point is 00:40:59 Britt turned and faced him. Let's make a deal. Stay a little longer and I'll heap you practice your re-entry. Help, him, you seem? I'll help, yeah, I'll help you. Oh, she's cocked up the last line. deal captain Brian replied what so she's gonna read
Starting point is 00:41:18 oh she's like a space gag she's going to happen with his work and practice his reentry so he can go again but she cocked it up yeah oh that is you know I'll give you kudos for the line
Starting point is 00:41:29 but unfortunately you had a spelling I read what's written he's definitely not an astronaut no absolutely he's never seen foot inside NASA you don't know Put him in a space rocker, he wouldn't know what to. Clit, Meg and Dan. Scandal with Meg.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Sorry, half seven. Can you hear of myself. Scandal. Harry Stiles, album coming out this Friday, so excited for it. I know, Dan, you're a little more excited now that you've seen, like, the dancing and the vibe of... I mean, I've always been excited for the album. I just wasn't sold on aperture. That's all.
Starting point is 00:42:03 But I've now seen the live performance and love it. He's laughed at him. Sorry, I'm just thinking about your story again. We just did bromantic fixin. Sorry, I've just done. Yeah, we just did romantic fixin. Sorry, I've just got the giggles. Right, sorry.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Yes, Harry Stiles' album coming out this Friday, and he says it's very much so a dance album. And we are getting a Netflix special this weekend with it. That's all we hear. What is that? There's nothing to me. That was showing behind the scenes of Harry getting ready to do a show. show so it is going to be one night with Harry
Starting point is 00:43:00 and Manchester and it's going to be a live well not a live but a recording of one of his live shows which I believe will be the whole album if he is doing the same thing that he did a few years ago with his earlier albums where he did a few concerts of just start to finish songs it's like of the album I went and saw one in LA
Starting point is 00:43:16 actually from and all he did was sing the album through first to end which I thought was really cool nobody does that kind of the Ares tour no no he just one album he just sings the album like you know Taylor's on on stage performing and you can watch it if you didn't get tickets. Is it like that?
Starting point is 00:43:31 It's like that, but he will just be doing this new album, I believe. Adele did it recently. She did the live one from the Observatory in LA. And she did that album from start to finish the new album. So that's coming out March 8th, so yeah, this weekend, I believe, we'll be able to watch it on Netflix. I'm really excited to hear it because I know a lot of people love his new single, Apochard Joe.
Starting point is 00:43:52 But I'm just interested to hear what the rest of the album sounds like. If it's all a similar vibe or whether it's different, genres of dance. So I'm really excited to hear it. You know, like, you know, in Dua Leaper, put out her dance album? I don't think it's going to be the same kind of vibe as that. I think it's more likely to be the vibe that, like, you're in a club, but it's towards the end and the lights are flashing you're in your own zone,
Starting point is 00:44:11 rather than partying with your girls. You know, and that sort of like, you're just kind of by yourself and you're zoning out and you're dancing. He's definitely fully departed from the rock sound that he had in his first two albums. Then Harry's House, the third album, that was sort of a bit more popy. Yeah. This sounds like it's completely escaping that. Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Hillary Duff is officially returning to the stage for her first full-scale global headline run in nearly two decades. And we want to get you and a mate there for free night's accommodation in Auckland and also travel if you need it to get to Auckland with Hillary Duff Bluff. Yeah, you just have to either tell us a true story
Starting point is 00:44:47 or bluff a fake story and if we can't tell the difference between a lie or the truth, then you get in the drawer. And it's harder than it sounds. We got it wrong yesterday. Yeah. You mean for us it's harder than itself? Well, Meg, you actually picked it, didn't you?
Starting point is 00:45:01 Yeah, I did, but you guys. We overruled a two to one. We're wrong. Maybe we let Meg take the swing. Okay. All right, Josh, what is your story, whether it be true or a lie? All right, so about three years ago, was going through some issues with my in-laws and things.
Starting point is 00:45:23 and my wife wanted to sort of get us together and things like that and hang out. I didn't really want to, so I have not a bad circle of friends, but some close friends that we rely on each other for a lot of things. So I wanted them to mess and take my wife's car the day before we had to go away. Steal it. So I didn't have to go away four hours away. Is that your question, Clint? Remember we'll get one question each.
Starting point is 00:45:53 That's your question. Done. So they made it look like a robbery. Yeah, okay, that's my question. So you made it look like it had been stolen and then kept the car long enough that she couldn't make the trip. Exactly. Well, I would say I didn't have to make the trip.
Starting point is 00:46:08 You didn't have to go. Okay, Dan, your question. Is the relationship with the in-laws okay now? Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty neutral. Okay. Wouldn't it have been better to find out if she ever found out?
Starting point is 00:46:26 Well, that's what me. No. Why do you care what the relationship was like? He just said no. Oh, well, that's our third question. Thanks, Clint. Stoll my one. Clint's three questions. How did Dan's question help us work out if it was a lie at all?
Starting point is 00:46:39 And do you get along with the in-laws? No, not really. Okay, so don't get along. The in-laws, it's neutral. They never found out. And you fate that the car was stolen. And all of those, we kind of knew from the store. What's your life's name?
Starting point is 00:46:51 What's her name? Dan, no more questions, Josh. to answer anymore. It's a weird one to make up. It's such a strange elaborate line. I feel like it's true too. I feel like it's, my heart's growing with true. Okay, well, let's go with Meg. She's, she's...
Starting point is 00:47:03 Yeah, you're making the shot, Meg. I'm saying you did do that, Josh. Okay. Well, it's fake. Who would do that? Oh my gosh. He's up. You're right, that is crazy, but I saw maybe you had some shady mates that were like, sure, man.
Starting point is 00:47:24 For the record, John. Josh, I thought it was fake. No, man. No, I grew up 15 years ago. I don't do that carry on. And what is the relationship actually like with your in-laws? I bet they're lovely. Yeah, they're lovely.
Starting point is 00:47:39 They're all good. Rocky start, but all love now. Yeah, right. Hey, man, well, congratulations. You're in the drawer of now only two people. There'll be a maximum of five if we are as bad as we are at this game all the way through the week. We're over two. Sorry, I've just been given ten.
Starting point is 00:47:55 So maybe they're doing on the Ash London show as well. And then we'll announce Friday if you've won a double pass, nights of comm in Auckland and travel as well. Thanks, Josh. You did it very well. You fooled Meg, and that's hard to do. Yeah, it was just such a strange thing. But, you know, yeah, good on you.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Make it up. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. I have this thing that I was talking to my girlfriends about and how we realized that once we figured out that other people, if not many other people were going through the same thing as us. Even though our hardship didn't go away, it felt like a real relief.
Starting point is 00:48:33 I don't know why. Do you feel that would mean as well? Problem shared, problem half. Yeah, it's just a human thing where you realize, okay, I'm not the only one that has gone through this. This is a normal thing, even if it's really hard. And people can get through it.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Yes. You know? Exactly. It's just nice knowing that you're not alone in the feelings, and so I wanted to start to see if there was maybe a way we could bring it on here. So I want to do a poll where I'm not going to get people on here because I think it's a safe space to be anonymous in these sorts of things but you can send a text 33443 or send me a DM of something that you're going through and you sit there and go
Starting point is 00:49:09 I would love to know if it's just me struggling through this also with the popularity of chat GBT I feel like we're not using our community of friends as much anymore and that kind of relates to the first poll this morning because I found a lot of women in particular messaged me last night who are in their late 30s to early 40s who have said that they're really struggling
Starting point is 00:49:35 with finding friendships. That friendships have either slowly whittled away after becoming a mum and then just getting really busy. Especially if your lives are different and you're having kids before, your other friends, they can't relate. Clint, that was one of them as well. Somebody saying that they were the last person
Starting point is 00:49:51 to get pregnant are their friends and they were with kids and they are without kids, whether they want to have them or not. And also trying to make new friends in your 40s and having them stick and having them be real friendships that you feel like you can find that place of being complete yourself with that isn't from somebody that's knowing your whole life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:08 So poll this morning is, can you relate? Are you somebody who is really struggling in adulthood with having friendships, whether it's holding onto them or making new ones? If you don't relate, then you can say no, and I would love to find both. sides of it and just see what the kind of split is. But it seems so far that there's definitely a recurring feeling that friendships are just either whittling away as we get older or harder to keep a hold of or make.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Could we talk to people that have maybe had this issue previously that have got the answers, you know, that have maybe got through it and now they've got friends, lasting friendships? If that's you or if you would like to be a person that just is, you know, relatively brave and says that's me too and you want to give the person that's DM'd some feeling of camaraderie. I would love to give that person in my DMs that. And you can call up and say, that's me as well. I am also
Starting point is 00:51:02 really struggling with having a friend as an adult. Who isn't my husband or my kids? Then you don't feel broken and going, oh, I'm the only one that's struggling with it. I know, and it doesn't fix the issue. That's the thing. I can't fix the issues. We can't sit here and tell you how to make friends, but sometimes just knowing that you aren't alone in it.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Takes the light off. Exactly. So let's see if we can get anyone to call up next or just text yes if you can relate and know if you can relate and we'll get the results of the poll and see what we find coming throughout the show. Great one Meg. Am I the only one poll this morning? I want to try and make this a bit of a running thing
Starting point is 00:51:34 so you can keep texting me your suggestions where if you're a little bit like, I don't know who to talk to about that, I don't know how to find out, if I'm the only one in there. I use my platform on Instagram and I'm really lucky to have you guys talking to me but if you don't have that, let us be the vessel this morning. Are you struggling with friendships in your older life?
Starting point is 00:51:52 lot of people are. Yeah, they are. Some aren't as well, which is good. We need to know both sides. You can call us if you are feeling brave enough to give this person comfort. And if not just text us and we can read out some of the texts. We've got Amy, who's a fake name and on the voice disguiser. Morning, Amy. Morning. Morning. Do you find that this is something that you can or can't relate to having a struggle with friendships in later life? I don't have friends. I choose not to have friends.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Why is that? Just because people have hurt me in the past where it's like a keep myself safe. Wow. Isn't it lonely though? It's like a protection. Do you have family at least? No, I'm not. Yeah, I have family, so I have my kids in my apartment.
Starting point is 00:52:41 And then I have my mum and my sister. And, yeah, I'm happy with wife. Oh, that's cool. So that's, you've just gotten to the point. So you're saying, like, kind of to this person, if they're struggling with friendships, maybe try and flip your headspace a little bit and go, well, actually, if you've got your partner as your best mate, if you're lucky enough to be close to them, then that might be enough.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Yeah, maybe that's family. I mean, we don't know too many details about the person. Go on. Yeah, well, see, I, like, know a lot of people, but I don't call them my friends. Like, work, colleagues and all that kind of stuff. So you're sort of protecting yourself in a way, aren't you? Yeah, I have, like, two good friends, and I'm happy with that. And it reminds me of the home alone thing, though,
Starting point is 00:53:25 when McCauley Colkin doesn't take his rollerblades out because he's worried they're going to get hurt and then guess what? He grows out of them and they never get used. Sometimes your heart will get broken, but isn't that worth the risk of letting people in and then benefiting your life and you there? Sometimes you can just choose peace though, right?
Starting point is 00:53:39 You know, like there are both ways to it. You're right. Suppose if you've got a close sister and you've got your kids and think, then you've got your tribe. Maybe it's different. Anonymous, never had friends since I left school and we had kids, then we moved to New Zealand. and still no friends, but don't need them.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Stick to animals. Yeah. You find a way. Danny Alam, good morning. Can you relate or no? I 100% relate. I think for me personally, we had children very, very young. We were 19 and 21 when we had twins.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Wow. Wow. Yeah, now we've got number three. So the twins are coming up 10. And obviously for us, we were ahead of a lot of people our age. So everyone else is still partying And we were at home changing nippies and that But I do think I did struggle for a long time
Starting point is 00:54:26 With the fact that I had friends in high school And I'm still good friends with some of them But you want to hold on to that Because you're like, oh, if that's one thing I can have And people that know me so well But it's a season, you know, it comes and goes And it's okay for that to happen I think I've realized that now
Starting point is 00:54:46 as the kids have gotten older, it is okay, you know, to make new one. That's so true as well, Danielle, with seasons. Another person that I like this text that's come in, I find it really hard to have friends that say, I have no energy to catch up with people. I work, I work. I have a one and a half year old that doesn't sleep through the night. I don't have time for myself, let alone other people.
Starting point is 00:55:05 And you have to hope, and that's what I kind of am in at the moment, you have to hope that you have friendships, even just one or two, that will last through that season, that they understand you will come back to the, them one day. I'm blown away by this actually. There's so many people and I kind of relate to it as well. Like I've got friends but a lot of them have moved over to seas or they're out of the city so it's hard to keep in touch with people and it takes a lot of energy to maintain those friendships when you don't see them. So right Dan, somebody else said no I can't relate. I think
Starting point is 00:55:35 it's harder to maintain friendships as you get older but it is about effort. I have to put in the effort and maintain a small circle of close friends and making new friends via Facebook groups you get out what you put in. And some people don't make the effort. The friends that Don't make the effort of the ones that sort of fall away. Otherwise, Danielle, you're in South Auckland. That's not far from Pocono. And Fais said she's part of the Pocono wine ladies on Facebook. Yes, someone put a post on a community Facebook page,
Starting point is 00:55:58 brave enough to invite a lot of random ladies to her house. And two years later, they meet monthly age range from 33 to 70. Nightmare. Maybe it gains there, but... My worst nightmare. Strangers at your house, Dad. You don't even have your friends over. I know.
Starting point is 00:56:10 We're going to keep doing the poll throughout the show. And by the end of the show, I have the results, the kind of like percentages of who can. and related and who can't just to make you feel less alone if you were going through it too. Love that me. Cool. All right, so you can keep that coming through. 3-3-4-3 on text. Clint, Megan Dan. Lesh, go!
Starting point is 00:56:25 The Edge. The Edge is easy money. Here's your shot at $10,000. Four-fast Day. Good morning. Your chance to have a crack at $10,000 right now. We got to question 8 or 9 at 7 o'clock. She did very, very well. Just didn't quite get the job done. If you can give us 10 answers in 30 seconds, the cash is yours.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Here's a first-time caller. Hello. Morning, morning. Morning. Now, are you like one of these people that we met countless at Electric Avenue that were like, I could do better than everybody I've heard on the radio? Oh, I hope so. I sort of get to that seven one and, yeah, hopefully I can pass through it.
Starting point is 00:57:04 All right, your letter is W this morning, Michael. Don't hate that for you. Okay. I think that's good. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, not bad. If you need to pass, do it early and if we've got time, we'll come back, Michael.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Just no repeated answers. Otherwise, best of luck, my bro. W for winner. Yep. Thank you. Okay, Michael, give me something you drink. Water. An animal?
Starting point is 00:57:27 Water horse. A sports team. White friends. A children's book. Where the Gruffalo. What's that book? Pass. A verb.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Um, pass. Something with no legs. Worm. A six-letter word. Time, Michael. Oh, so foul for you, Mahuosok. It's where the wild things are. You said, we're the wild things gruffalo.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Yeah, but there is a gruffalo as well, so you mix them up. Some of the creatures. I'll ask you the question now. Boss sometimes asks us after a show. How do you think you went? Yeah, not good. That's usually what we say as well. The fact that you're asking makes me think.
Starting point is 00:58:17 And lucky, mate, sometimes, yeah, it's not your slumdog millionaire moment. Sometimes the questions don't fall in your favour. You know? I love that he gave water horse a girl. as well. It's a mystical creature from the movie is our water horse. I wonder if the boss would have paid that. I guess he doesn't have to make the decision now.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Doubt it. All right, back again at 7 and 8 tomorrow morning. Otherwise polish up on your skills on the rover app. Up next, this is actually my favourite part of the show when we started this morning. I was like, oh, this is going to be good. It's the behind the scenes audio of the
Starting point is 00:58:51 man, I don't want to... Oh, the dogs vomit that was my interview Yeah, I was going to try and dress it up and be nice, but unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, Meg was kind of stitched up in front of a big artist. I think the term is train wreck, really, isn't it? Yeah, it's a train wreck. It was a shocker. And unfortunately, the word has gotten to Australia about Meg's blunder.
Starting point is 00:59:15 And we reached out to that radio station and they've sent us their audio. Oh, good. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Okay, if you don't work in radio, we get to do. do interviews with cool fun people like singers and actors and celebrities
Starting point is 00:59:32 even Liam Lawson after the show Formula One driver, Kiwi Lad, after the show today so hopefully he'll be on the show Wednesday. Hopefully I don't stuff that one up as much as Meg did this one. No I didn't stuff anything up actually. This was something that we'd never done before Ash London who kept up for my maternity leave so I'm sure you know and love her
Starting point is 00:59:50 as much as we do. She has also got the drive show or sorry the afternoon show and our boss thought, hey, why don't you two girls do it together? Do a Hillary Duff interview. And we're like, oh, we've never done that before. That's kind of cool. A tandem interview. A tandem interview.
Starting point is 01:00:04 You know, the leading lady from breakfast and the leading lady from the afternoons? Great. Come together. We're friends. We're awesome. We got up to the studio. So there was a certain place we were doing this recording. There were big screens all around us.
Starting point is 01:00:15 It's a soundproof studio. There are microphones and there are headphones. We put the headphones on. We're talking to the microphone. If I talk right now in the microphone, I can hear myself. Nothing was being heard in these microphones. They're not on. The microphones are off, cool.
Starting point is 01:00:29 The screens, black, blank. So Ash and I are sitting there, and we do what friends do in a room that's soundproof with no people in it. We chat, we natter, we talk about whatever we want, we're running late. It's about 20 minutes late. We're going, I'm thinking Hillary's running late because usually celebrities are with these interviews. Are they not boys? Boys, always. I've never had an on-time interview.
Starting point is 01:00:51 The more famous they are, the more late they are. We're chatting about everything. To the point, like, I don't even remember we were talking, just you and your mate in a room alone talking. Gas bagging. Gas bagging. Anything. It comes to a point, it's been quite a long time with shit chatting,
Starting point is 01:01:07 and then I hear our producer Carl come into my headphones and goes, he goes, oh, by the way, like, Hillary's there, but we're just having connected audio yet. And I was like, oh, okay, oh, God, okay. That was scary. You know, that was a worry, because we've been sitting here chatting. We do the interview. It's still a disaster because we can hear our voices doubling back on ourselves on the headphones.
Starting point is 01:01:28 I'm happy when it's over. Mead got people fired after it. He's like heads are going to roll. It was a nightmare interview. I was very happy for it. To be ended, we got cut short because we were running so late. And when we were cut short, is when I maybe realized that our microphones weren't off when I thought they were. Because Hillary said this.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Hillary, we love you. We're so excited to see you. But you guys telling me that you love the album, I was loving your chatter beforehand and whatever you're talking about, forget-me-nots. My friend and I just got Forget Me Notts. Hey guys, I'm so sorry to cut this short, but we need to... Oh, I'm such a good time. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:02:11 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I wish you could see my face in that exact moment when I was like, what do you mean? Forget me notes? What are you talking about? The only thing I have that's forgetting nuts on my body is my vagina titter that you guys know about that I've spoken about. One of two. A tribute to your grandparents, isn't it? So what do you mean? I didn't brought up Forget Me Notts in the interview at all.
Starting point is 01:02:31 What do you mean? Hillary just said, I loved your chatter before. Where you spoke about Forget Me Not tattoos. Wait, so you were talking to Ash about this before? Why were you talking about your basement tattoos? Ash looked down at my hand and she said, I like your ring. And I was like, oh, thank you. It's, forget me not.
Starting point is 01:02:50 My mom got it for me. And I was like, just love for China. I think. I don't remember what I said, Clint. I was just talking to my friend. And if you knew to the show and you don't know about these tattoos, it was when you were very young and you wanted a tribute to your big rampia. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 01:03:01 And your mother would let you have a tattoo, right? So I had it from it. So I got it in a place. I just got it in my, like, very, very low bikini line. I just say it's my vagina, but it's right on there. You're not going to see it if I'm wearing undies. You know what I mean? Was that before you got the risk, learn, listen, inspired tattoo also there.
Starting point is 01:03:15 Oh, God. I got that one. Okay. Okay. I was irrelevant. I didn't want to bring it up again. What I'm mortified about is I don't know how the story doesn't die. I didn't bring it up to Hillary.
Starting point is 01:03:25 I didn't bring it. I don't know why we're still talking about it. But it's my fault yet again. Here we are in prime time. Somehow, my microphone wasn't off. And we probably would have been like, you know what, don't worry. She would have forgotten about it, moved on with the next interview. And that would be it, never thought of again.
Starting point is 01:03:41 But we're not the only ones talking about it, Clinton. Turns out she brought it up with a Nazi radio station because it rarely landed with her that hard. See, I haven't heard this yet. And I almost don't believe it. any radio station as well. It's like the second biggest in Australia. Yeah, Ricky Lee and Tim on Nova. They've said that's audio. Yeah, good buggers.
Starting point is 01:04:01 What dreams are made of? Men Kitchen, I was Hilary Duff. Ahead of her coming to New Zealand in October. Our dreams have come true, but. We were sitting, me and Ash, in a room alone, microphones were off, screens were off. Turns out when I realised she had overheard our 12-minute private. conversation between Ash and I at the very end of the interview.
Starting point is 01:04:24 Hillary, we love you. We're so excited to see you. Can't wait to see you. You guys telling me that you love the album, I was loving your chatter beforehand and whatever you're talking about, forget-me-nots. My friend and I just got
Starting point is 01:04:36 Forget Me Not Teddick. Hey guys, I'm just so sorry to cut this short but we don't see you. So she's saying, I got a figure-me-not-tend-me-not-tatter-as-well. And then the line went dead. Can you imagine my mind and my face in that moment of going, Can we just take a moment to respect how patient Hillary Duffers
Starting point is 01:04:54 was sitting there for 12 minutes listening to that chat? Listening to that. Incredible. Not many celebrities would do that. Yeah, so if I had any hope that what she said about forget me not tattoos wasn't what I thought it was, apparently that's gone out the window. Yeah, because now she knows that you have Forget Me Not Tattoo with a little flowers of tribute to your granddad and grandma.
Starting point is 01:05:15 Manana. Do you don't need to write anything? Between your legs. Between my legs. Anyway, the top. Why, isn't that where you're... No, more leg, it's the top part. It's not on the lips of it.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Well, the issue is Meg, we're not the only ones talking about. In fact, it's made its way across the ditch to Australia. Next interview after us, because they sort of line them up back to back to back, was Ricky Lee and Tim on Nova. And we know that because producer Carl ended up getting a call or an email from the publicist. One of my favourite moments of the year so far, a call from the publicist. Like a giggly, gossipy schoolgirl going, you are not going to believe what I just overheard on the Australian interview.
Starting point is 01:05:54 Good. And so, Kelsey, can we get the audio so we can hear it for ourselves? And they said, yeah, and then they sent us this. Have you had any kind of Zoom mishaps? I mean, you are doing a lot of interviews via link. Have you heard anything you shouldn't have in this process? I was actually just on the New Zealand station, and we were having some technical difficulties.
Starting point is 01:06:11 And I heard one of them tell the other one that she had a forget-me-not-tot-tot-to-on-her-b-ha-ha. That's just not real. There's no way that actually... That is incredible. The fact that... And they probably haven't heard of us. They're a big show over in Australia and they're like, that's the only fact they know about you, Meg,
Starting point is 01:06:31 that you've got that on your... I just... What I don't... I just... I can't even... That's cool. It doesn't feel like one of those real life moments of... There's so many things had to happen for that to happen.
Starting point is 01:06:44 It was almost like the Stars Aline, Clip. The fact that Tim even... said, have there been any misaps right after the massive mishap? Maybe because the interviews were so delayed, he assumed that there been some different, I don't know. That must have been, maybe.
Starting point is 01:06:56 It's almost like we knew the story and then flicked him to me text and said, yo, ask it this. They're actually wanting to chat to you on their show tomorrow Meg about it. No, they aren't. Yeah, you're going on life. No, they are. It's just so... What annoys me is that at least
Starting point is 01:07:10 it sounds like Hillary knew she overheard it, and wasn't me trying to be like, Hillary is what I've got down there. It's like so cringe. It's so cringe. It's so cringe. I mean, and also, I now somehow have a matchy in tattoo with Hillary Duff, which is quite cute. We saw her who's on a completely different place.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Yeah, she showed me her arm one, and I was like, oh, here's mine. Duff, Duff up with the top of your dress. Got real close to show Duff and Muff. Oh. God, me. I'm leaning in now. Yeah, good on you. It's happened.
Starting point is 01:07:43 It's done. Can we stop talking about it? Now they're best friends. Sorry, we're done. You mentioned it. Clint McGintan Dan. A few stories we want to chuck on your radar for 3rd of March. It's Clint Megan Dan's. Average.
Starting point is 01:07:58 I mean, I was just going to say there's lots going on in the world at the moment. Clint, a lot of negativity. Well, I don't know if this is going to make people feel any better. It's going to anger. Anyone that loves a cheap coffee, they reckon the average flat white is now around $7. Oh, I've noticed that it's gone on exponentially. and if you get anything with like fancy milk,
Starting point is 01:08:18 it's another 60, 70 cents on top of that. Well, uh, flight coffee managing director Richard reckons that it should sit around $10 to be sustainable in the face of climbing rents, ingredients and wages. Ten dollars. Yes. Ten dollars for a coffee. That's mental.
Starting point is 01:08:32 I would not, that's daylight robbery. It's so, especially when you get a small and get a couple of bits of milk if you've got a cappuccino. Well, that's chump change. If you're in Nelson, you can pay up to $55 for a coffee at Victor's Cafe in Nelson. What are you getting for $55? Is it one of those coffee beans
Starting point is 01:08:49 that was pooped out by an elephant? Pooped out? You know, people pay a lot of money for the coffee beans. The elephants eating coffee beans anyway. I read a story. Gary Anglin. Yeah, the guy Nick, who owns the cafe, he's talking about saying
Starting point is 01:09:03 it's all about the experience and these beans that come from Columbia, which I thought most of the beans. If I would have guessed anything, I would have seen Columbia and beans. What's the experience in your wallet? So they have normal coffee, but I guess much like when you go to
Starting point is 01:09:14 fancy restaurant and they have champagne or whiskey and they have top shelf and then just house stuff. They have like normal coffee and then they have a cup that will cost you set you back $55 for a coffee. Is there any more information about why it's worth that much? He just goes on about the experience and the taste of it and how it's better. I'd rather
Starting point is 01:09:32 experience a $5 coffee if I'm honest. I think it's just one of those things they offer so that they get chat and it's working. Congratulations Nick. We're talking about your cafe. Moving on. There's a new face alert. Have we got an alarm sound, new face alert, new face alert. Oh, could I take the guesses? Is it Demi Moore?
Starting point is 01:09:49 No. Is it... Oh gosh, who asked him on having you? It's. Chris, Jenna. No, we talked about Bradley Cooper's new face last year. You can still see that if you text Cooper to 33443. He's got a new facelift. Ryan Reynolds? Jim Carrey. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 01:10:02 You wouldn't swap Ryan Reynolds' face? No, he's definitely had a facelift. Yeah. And I would say that Jim Carrey had a great face until recently, everybody's talking about how they think Jim Carrey's passed away. I've seen these conspiracy theories. It's driving me crazy, guys. He has had a facelift and a brow lift. You can see the earlobes have changed shape
Starting point is 01:10:22 because he's sewn, cut open his face, sewn them back and then lifted his eyebrows up. It's kind of like though when you get a haircut or hair-coloured. And you've got to give it like a few days for it to settle. Is it like with facelifts? Like you just need a few more months for you. Sometimes that's the case, Glenn, because sometimes you see them straight away.
Starting point is 01:10:39 You're like, that's bad. And then they settle and you go, oh. I'll go. I think there's something's gone wrong. You can text Jim to 3343 if you want to see a photo of Jim's new face. People are saying it's an imposter. It's a different person. He's like sitting at home or passed away.
Starting point is 01:10:53 Jim's pretty known for his like heavyset eyebrows and like heavy brow. And because if eyebrows have been lifted, it's made his eyes look more rounder. But I've seen, I've even seen somebody faking online saying that they like pretended to be him and more prosthetics than they are the person that showed up. I've seen people saying, oh, Jim said if you ever see me in a few years time, it won't be. conspiracy theorists are going on. Everyone just needs to go to Lindsay Lohan's surgeon. Oh yeah, amen. Although maybe she stayed home for years and let it settle.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Because we didn't see her for ages. I think Jim's needs to be fired, if I'm honest. So many people texting Jim to three, three, four, three. I think we're not used to seeing men get work done, and so it feels very strange. It's very normalized for women to get facelifts. But when you sit on a guy, you're like, what's happened there? But he's had work done.
Starting point is 01:11:39 Maybe he went too tight. You know how tight do you want to go? I think he has. And he's got, it looks like he's got, cheekbone implants. Yeah. It's just a different man in my opinion. He just looks very different.
Starting point is 01:11:49 Do you think it is a different man, Dan? No. Okay, go. No, no, no. He's just very different face. And it hasn't gone younger or older. It's just very different. Just leave it as I was, Jim.
Starting point is 01:11:59 Well, the segue from here is we getting into the A list of list next. And Jim Carrey, I think, is one of the most contentious ones early on. For me... He's on the B list. He was on the B. We didn't even need to reference Jim Carrey or any of his movies. where he's from, right? He's on the B list.
Starting point is 01:12:15 Because everyone knows who he is. He's on the B list because that stands for botched surgery. That's what the face looks like at the moment. And I think he deserves to be there now. I reckon we need a week, Meg, where we just take stock of who's on the A, B, and C list and work out three names that need to move.
Starting point is 01:12:31 Because I think it ruins the credibility of the list sometimes. Jim Carrey. He's just about hurt that David Schwimmer didn't make it. No, he's another one. He's another one. He's another one. Cheney Taitem should not be on the A list, then I was standby there.
Starting point is 01:12:41 He's sullying that list. Clint Megan Dan. Still taking your votes on 0800, or 334-334-4-4 whether you're someone who finds it hard to make friends as an adult. Danielle, obviously, she's found it very hard because she ended up having twins at 19. Obviously, for us, we were ahead of a lot of people
Starting point is 01:12:59 who are at all that. Everyone else was still partying, and we were at home changing nippies and that. Yeah, so Texan, can you relate 3343 yes or no to finding it hard to make or keep friendships as you grow older? Yeah, we'll have the results before 9 o'clock this morning. This list is going to piss me off. Can I just say that? I already feel it in my bones
Starting point is 01:13:20 because I think I know Dan's going to say one's a B and I think this person is an A. You know what? And I'm just going to preface. The A list, let's think of it as a room of the most famous people in the world. And I'm the bouncer at the door. Jason Statham's on that list.
Starting point is 01:13:35 He shouldn't have got in there. He shouldn't have been on it. Good luck stopping Statham at the door. And the B list is a great room to be in. But he's not an A list. All right, let's go through the names this morning. You can text in your thoughts, please. The B-Lis would be fun, actually,
Starting point is 01:13:49 because you put Jim Carrey there and David Schwimmer, both of which I'd love to hang out with. Oh, you can go on the B-Lis Clintz, so you wouldn't be anywhere near the B-Lis-Roo. All right, first one, John Travolta. He's A. John Travolta. Absolutely not.
Starting point is 01:14:06 He's A, he's John Travolta. He's one of the most famous names in the world. John. He's the most. Hey, name a more famous John. John Hamm. No, you know that's not true. Who is that?
Starting point is 01:14:19 John Travolta is John Travolta. The most famous job. He was in Greece. He was... Oh, Sandy. Put another dime in the dofarts. Yeah, and one of the, again, most famous movies of all time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:31 He's in a B. He's a B. I'll give him a B. Oh, God, okay. John Travolta. What's he done in the last decade? Bruno Mars. A. Clint? Oh, Clint, have you putting...
Starting point is 01:14:43 Jason Statham. there you can put like Bruno Mars is an easy one you know because we know his music does the world know outside of like America the UK Aussie and New Zealand are you high sometimes I wonder about you
Starting point is 01:14:59 so you're saying Bruno Mars is more universally worldwide known than John Travolta yes no I'm putting him at a B is a B you are one of the biggest fools I've ever met now I genuinely
Starting point is 01:15:12 think that the last one of the last And I think she's an A, I feel like you're both going to say she's a B, Octavia Spencer. Never, I've never heard of her, C. Which is this what you, it's just that really just, you know, she has won 40 awards. I wasn't going to say I've never heard of her. She's won an Oscar, three nominations.
Starting point is 01:15:31 So she's an actress? Yes, she's won one Golden Globe, one BAFTA, she's won four screen actors Guild Awards. What's her name again? I forgot. Oh my God. Can I just say, Clint, I'm going to stop me there because you're going to look like an idiot. I have heard. of her and I think she is probably one of the best actresses in the world.
Starting point is 01:15:48 But in terms of fame... You don't think Octavia Spencer, the name? I don't think she's famous enough. How can you win 40 awards and be nominated for 70 and still not be seen as an A-Lister? She's in there with John Travolta. Oh my God. Oh, yeah, I've googled it. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 01:16:03 I know her. She's incredible. Incredible actress, amazing movies. But a few went around and asked people who she was. I don't think they'd know until he showed her a face. Oh, that makes me wild. All right. She is in a C, based on now knowing who she is, put her at B. But I reckon if you win it, by name alone, I reckon people go, who is that?
Starting point is 01:16:22 She's in there with John Travolta on the B list. And I would actually say that John Travolta is lucky to be there. Okay, we need you to text, they're not called us. I 800 of the edge. John Travolta, A, B, O'B, or C. Bruno Mars, A, A, B, or C. And Octavia Spencer, I'm so far, I feel like I'm getting defeated already in her. I feel so bad for her, but also with her.
Starting point is 01:16:40 So many people I'd never heard of it never. Oh, my God, that's so sad. You all know who she is. Amazing black actress who was just absolutely blown everyone out of the water with how many nominations and awards she's won. There's some angry people. Some people saying that John Travolta should be a C. I kind of agree with you.
Starting point is 01:16:57 Whatever? John Travolta. Bruno B. I see you, Kimmy. Yeah, what's up? Ellie, B for Bruno Mars. A lot of people saying he's A as well. This is making me so happy.
Starting point is 01:17:07 All right, let's go to a break and get your thoughts on it next. We are doing the A-List list and arguing over his A-B-List status. Yeah, A-Less the list this morning is John Travolta, Bruno Mars and Octavia Spencer. I seem to be out in a limb by myself saying that she's an A. In fact, I saw a good text, somebody saying, I didn't know who Octavia was, then I googled her. She's a B without a photo and then an A with a photo. Once you realize who she is, but that means she can't be an A.
Starting point is 01:17:31 I understand that. If people can't, I... See your face. And it pains me to think that this incredible female actress who has done so much in her industry is going to be a B. But I'll put it out. This is the most contentious running I think we've ever had of the segment the A-Lister because there's a lot of disagreement, even on the text machine. Normally we only disagree on one, maybe two names.
Starting point is 01:17:50 We're disagreeing on all three this morning, so it's over to you. Okay, let's go to Kimmy. Hey Kimmy, what is your findings for A, B or C list? Good morning, team. This feels like it's becoming an occurrence Monday morning for us. Yeah, even though it's a Tuesday. Okay, so John was a-in-A. He started his first career in the 70s, you know?
Starting point is 01:18:12 So they know, fever, Greece, isn't cowboy, all the way to 2007 when he was in hairspray. Yeah, all like shit movies, can I just say. Pulp Fiction's face off in great films. Kimmy, my darling, we've got so many people to talk to. We just need you to tell me now who is Bruno. So John is an A. Okay, thank you.
Starting point is 01:18:36 Bruno Mars is a B. Right. And Octavia, so I didn't know who she was, but I thought she was a C. When I googled her, I was like, I know who she is, she's a B, because I had to Google her. I'm like right with you, Kimi. You're smart woman.
Starting point is 01:18:51 No. Like, that's just... Hey, it's the people showing that the side of that. Matt is saying that we're all on crack. So Matt, who are we saying John Travolter is? A, B, or C? Yeah, you lot have all been on the glass barbie this morning, I'm crazy.
Starting point is 01:19:05 John Travolta is the biggest of A-star. Pulp Fiction. How many Tarantino films? It's just these two on the glass barbecue. I mean, they wouldn't even get to a party at my house the other two. Neither, mate. No, I had a puff of me. Me. You should hang out without them. I don't know. He maybe was on the A list in the 70s, but not anymore.
Starting point is 01:19:23 So Matt was saying John is an A, Bruno is a B. That's happened twice. Now let's go to Jennifer. Jennifer. John Travolta, A or B. Oh, my goodness, you guys. He is an A all day, every day. All day. I put him on the list.
Starting point is 01:19:37 All day. Meg, do you agree with this, do you? Yes, I believe John Travolter is an A. Dan even said off here, even at the height of John Travolta's career, he was never an A. I don't think so. Why do you hate the guy? I just think that he's going to walk into that room. Tom Cruise is going to turn around.
Starting point is 01:19:52 Beyonce's going to go, who that? This is going to be... Alex is Exxon St. John Travolter is simply a washed-up A-lister. He is? He's a wash. He used to be on the A, maybe. All right, Jennifer. Is Bruno is a B or an A? Bruno's definitely a B.
Starting point is 01:20:05 And Octavia, like you said, I'm so sorry, though, Meg. She is definitely because I have never heard her name. I'm like the man of the people. Everyone is agreeing with my exact line. You have two Teslas and two bidet up bades. You're not a man of the people.
Starting point is 01:20:19 Oh my gosh. I'm not sure what that is to do with anything except the fact that everyone agreed. Look at everybody. Excuse me. Everybody's standing up. Dan, sit down. You're sitting down.
Starting point is 01:20:28 I'm just really tall, Clint. Shane. Dan's getting so weirdly angry about three people. He's never met. And he's like protecting them at all costs. It is my turn to talk. I am fine making the final count. I'm going through all the texts.
Starting point is 01:20:44 The final results are, John Travolta is an A-lister. Obviously, agree. God, that place is going to stink after he goes in there. Bruno Mars is it being listed. Thank you, agree. Dan, I don't know. I can't. Have you looked at the text machine, Meg?
Starting point is 01:20:59 Yes, I have. And look, even people were saying he's a C. I don't know what to do here, Dan. Maybe you just don't listen to those idiots. Well, I can't, that's the voices. It's the masses. And they're saying that Bruno is a bee. So, two for two. Yeah, what was the third one?
Starting point is 01:21:14 And Octavia is also a bee. Yeah. Somehow between, I don't, I mean, I'm having one. Thank you. That's where it should have landed. So you've absolutely nailed that. See what you've done now, people that have texted, agreeing with Clint? You've given him more of an ego. You've pumped up his tires far too much.
Starting point is 01:21:30 We're going to have to deal with this now, me. I know, I actually want to, I need it. I'm just going to go to the, I need a space. I just can't believe. I'm putting Bruno Miles on the B-list. That just blows my mind. What? Oh, that's how it goes.
Starting point is 01:21:41 All right, Matt, I'll see Friday for a beer, buddy. Nice work. Oh, so he did bribe. That's just one of my people. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's a shocker. Clint Megan Dan.
Starting point is 01:21:52 Am I the only one? Talk to me, thoughts on me. Yeah, a new thing that we're doing just to kind of hopefully make you feel a little bit of relief if you're listening to this and have something weighing on your mind. Somebody else might also have the same issue. and it feels very nice to me
Starting point is 01:22:10 even though the problem hasn't gone away to know that I'm not alone in it so trying to be that vessel for you we this morning did one that was sent in to me on my DMs saying that somebody was struggling to make new friends in their late 30s and somebody else had also had a similar sort of idea of struggling to keep friends in their late 30s
Starting point is 01:22:31 when it came to having kids and a husband they had no energy for anybody other than themselves Not even themselves. That's the common thread with a lot of the feedback we've got this morning is kids are, there's people that have kids that have no energy, like you say, Meg, that don't have time to make new friends. And also people that don't have kids, but their friends do.
Starting point is 01:22:48 And suddenly, you know, there's no time anymore for that person to meet up any. It's a funny someone else here is that 21, and they say it's extremely difficult, especially with the online world now. No one socialises anymore. Whereas then other people have argued that social media has made it, it's never been easy.
Starting point is 01:23:05 to keep in contact with people through Instagram. But to make a friend, how do you make a friend on social media? Well, you can DM anybody off the back of their story and then you get chatting. And I guess they're arguing that that's the way you can make a friend. But then other people, maybe they're saying that those relationships are a bit more trivial or they're not real friendships.
Starting point is 01:23:23 I think you're lucky if you've made, like myself, I made some strong connections when I was much younger, like at high school. And those connections have stuck. But it is the making new friends that is the tricky one, because you have to put so much effort in to start in it. Who has the time and the energy to do that?
Starting point is 01:23:39 So I did do the poll. I counted them all up behind the scenes. And we have a 94% agree with it being hard later in life to keep friends or make new ones with only 6% of people saying, no, I put the effort in and I find it relatively easy to keep my friends around me. Thanks for those people to message. You're sort of bragging there, aren't you?
Starting point is 01:24:03 But we needed that feedback. No, we need, you know, and also, yeah, you're on the loan if you find it easy to make friends. It's just interesting to see that, yeah, behaving friends when we're older is tough. It was a good point you made, Dan, like if you're at school, you're kind of forced to invest that time. And if you're at work, you're forced to invest that time because you're just around each other every day. It's outside of those times where you just maybe don't necessarily always have the time to invest it. And Meg, I think you probably would agree with me that of the three of us clince the best of making friends. Yes, but making new friends.
Starting point is 01:24:33 Yeah, like you're very good at kind of like just making people feel like they're really important. And I guess that means that they would go, I want to be his friend. Some people can find that annoying where I meet them and then you hang out. Maybe it's like sports teams as well. I find it easy to make a lot of good friends through sports because you have a common interest, I suppose. Maybe I need to take up a sport. I think Clint is the most friends, I would say, rather than... I think my kids are in nature though as well, where the pressures come off at 8 and 9,
Starting point is 01:25:02 where I have more time to invest into friendships. Whereas hard when you guys are in the trenches with, you know, two-year-old in a seven-week, month old, sorry. Maybe it's meeting friends through your kids as well. You know, like if they're playing sport, you meet their parents through other staff. Have you ever had that where there's like a couple you think they're really cool and you want to be their friend?
Starting point is 01:25:24 So you try and convince your kid to go chat to make it? My kids are loner as well, unfortunately. Oh, yeah. I'm sure that a couple of times. I've tried that a couple of times and I've never got more text back. Huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:37 Yeah. Oh, God, she's message, guys. Block. Block. Blok. Blot, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And how much do you keep pushing, right? I didn't. Yeah, there's no way I'm going to put the message again. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:48 People are just polite sometimes and maybe didn't mean to want to hang out again and just say yes because it's easy to say it fit to your face. So I guess the bottom line is if you're one of these people that struggles to make friends, you're not alone. You're not alone out there. Yeah, just keep on, keeping on. If you've got another question,
Starting point is 01:26:02 or something you want me to test and ask the, you know, everybody else about. You can text in now, 3, 3, 3, 4.3. Holy shit, you made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough, check out our only fans, podcast that is. Rover, music, radio, podcasts.
