This is a podcast from Rover. Is back in the best way. Make sure your 2026 is kept on. Here's Clint Nick and Dan. Good morning, bang on 6 o'clock Wednesday. Good morning. Good morning. Did you hear that in the news?

Mints up 24% on the year. So that means it's $12 for 500 grams average. Good time to become a vegetarian, everybody. My God. I remember when I was a kid and my mum would buy mints is like the cheap thing. You know, you put it in everything. Now it's 12. Like not many families can afford $1.

You wouldn't get in a vegetarian lasagna? No, you wouldn't. But my husband and daughter, they all eat meat. So I absolutely still understand that the bird of the cost. I hadn't bought it for ages until I went to the supermarket the other day. And I couldn't believe that it was like, yeah, $20 for a tray of mits. That is like the times are tough, New Zealand. How much do you pay for artificial meat?

Like, I can't believe it's not sausage. It's actually getting a lot closer. It used to be like, oh, yeah, impossible meat used to be like, wow, it's way more expensive. but now it's not. You can get Impossible Mints and Normal Mints at about the same price, or you could just use lentils. I had a chicken wing the other day, and I was like, that's a bloody good wing,

and someone said it's not even chicken. And I was like, that is unbelievable. Yeah, the Impossible Mints used to be, like, exorbitant when it came to price, but now it's about the same growth. Crazy enough, I've heard that not a lot of chicken and chicken nuggets, but, I mean, I haven't been looking into it. No, because my kids love them. Clint's getting all his theories out into the ether.

He's a flat earth. Chickens, nuggets are real. Yeah, right. 100% chicken. I don't know. Dan's work with Teagle, so. I believe what he says. Got a discount code for us?

Oh, he wishes. That would go down like a treat right now, wouldn't it? Dad 10 at Tech out. 10% cheap. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. About to jump into your 6am throwback. Get you going for a Wednesday if it's been a little bit of a slow start.

Us versus the playlist. Florence in the Machine. You've got the love. Yeah, great song. I will say there's not many options today in terms of the day of music. It is Adam Levine's birthday from Roon Fy. Remember when he did that surprise wedding performance? I don't like that guy.

And some people are like, oh, you've got a light band? Who are these guys? I saw him in L.A. That's one story I have about Adam Levine. I saw him walking down the street and he had makeup on. Are we all bringing up our Adam Levine stories? Oh, you can if you got one. What you got?

No, okay, well, obviously we're not then. Yeah, so it's just me. I'll keep mine secret for now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I just saw him, but he had, like, he had, like, foundation on makeup. That's one thing I remember about it. It must be very thick if you noticed it. Yeah, it was.

Maybe it just come from, like, filming of the voice or something. Could have been, could have been. But he was just walking down the street in Hollywood, so I don't know what he would have been filming. If there aren't many topical options in terms of on this day of music, maybe that's the day that we just get to play a band. When's the Rulo's business. Yeah, it doesn't have to have a reason.

Why do we need a reason? Another one we could play is, I've got this, song ready for when people win easy money and I've just been hovering over it for weeks. That's a song gay that doesn't necessarily have much backbone to it but man it's a catchy ditty. I can't not move. Pitbull and DeRullo done a song together?

Because they both are the types of people when they do a song you know, it's just going to be a vibe. I think the world would internally combusts when they do a song. Maybe. Maybe it's like, you know, I don't know. Yeah, Pip, in 2017 and 2015 and 2024. What?

What sales did they do? No, okay, so they did Pitbull Drive You Crazy featuring Jason Durillo and Juicy Jay and Pitbull Educate, yeah, featuring Jason Derulo. They've been B-sides, obviously. Drive-you-crazy, here it is,

Pitball and Dorillo. We can't play it, Kim. We can't play it. We can't play it. We can't play it. You'll get in trouble. Yeah. Let me just see if I can just

script to the chorus and just see what that sounds like, just give me a couple of seconds and... Clint, we don't need to. How are you doing? It's like a both sad. Maybe educate you is better, but we can listen to that in our own time. Maybe they're both, their energies cancel out each other with their together.

And so that has become a depressing mix. Yeah. Yeah. That sucks. You're good call on that, not playing that one in full met. Oh, good. I'm glad. I mean, it's no what you say or swallow.

Well, that's another good tune, actually. I reckon we just play one of the songs that you just played before. If we wanting to play a banger, let's all up. Swallow a little. Do love it girl. Then play Itgirl! Yeah, It girl's a good option. I think it's a good one instead of us going down a bit of a mine.

Sorry about that. All right. Well, this is shit girl. Sorry, Itgill. You get it. You get it. That was a digging you, me. I know.

I can't help when my subconscious gets a head. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. It is your 6am throwback, 10 bar 6, Clint Megan Dan. I read a post this morning on one of the Facebook groups. I'm a part of guys, the many, many, many. What's the one you, the one you we've talked about before, the boring women's club or something? Yeah, the dull woman's club.

This one is actually about trying to find ways to do things cheaper in New Zealand. It's like cheaper recipes, cheaper ways of doing things, people have good tips. And I sort of post this morning of just somebody, I thought they were really bold and saying, like, I am doing everything I can. And I'm still feeling the pinch

with, and she's just feeling very down and depressed. She's done, you know, like not driving anymore, not buying any meat anymore, maybe some chicken drumsticks, stop buying coffee and juice and ice cream and all the extras, done everything that you're told to do by the government of like, you know, when the times

are tough and still is struggling. It seems to be a resounding feeling at the moment. I agree. I think there's a lot of unrest around the world and obviously there's a lot of bad things going on with your Trump, your war, you're all that sort of stuff. Obviously the fuel price is going up. It feels like a lot of people are struggling

and struggling to make ends meet but also it's just like, it's rough out there. It's just diet. Also we have obviously the Jeffrey Epstein list come out and then nothing happened. And then you just sit there and go, what in the, like what that teaches you in your mind and your brain

to see people doing the most horrific things on planet Earth and then they just get away with it because they're rich. It just create, and then you see, as you said, wars starting. It's just wild to be sitting here in this life and going, what are we meant to do? Sometimes it's hard to believe we're sharing the planet with those same people. You know, when you're seeing on social media,

parts of what's going on the world, it almost feels like it's happening on a different planet. Like the life that we're living, despite the struggles you've mentioned. And then the struggles that you see, you go, how are we both doing Wednesday? At the same time. I'd be interested to know if you could text through

3343, if you are feeling it in terms of just like I think it's coming across as like fatigue. Yeah. And not just physical fatigue. I just think fatigue for everything. You know, the price of stuff

that burn out. It's not even, it's where halfway through March, eh? And this is where you think you'd be feeling this around like June July. My wife works in customer service and she said that at the moment

just everybody's grumpy. Everybody's just, you know, everybody she's dealing with is like stressed, grumpy, like short-fused. That's when you start seeing road rage as well and more crashes happen. Number one killer too. I was reading even this morning.

I mean, you know, people asking chat GBT how to live longer and it said that it's got nothing to do with your fitness or your diet and your exercise all to do with your stress. If you're always stressed your body is operating at like a level where it's producing, is it cortisol that

ends up just flooding your system and just slowly killing you. I could be having a happy day though and I'll get a dose of road rage. I could be driving a log happy as Larry and then someone cuts in front of me. they're getting a C word and a finger out the window I'm going to be genuinely

I could have won lotto and someone could pull that in front of me and I'll be absolutely top of my lungs yelling Road rage really gets me It's pretty bad at it. It's so crazy that you can go from like just like absolutely flying high to livid in seconds

Honestly Road rage is really my big issue Right It's like even when my son's in the car He's too and I've like gone road rage Full rage and my wife's been like Dan you can't in front of him he can't please it'll learn yeah he will yeah 12th word's gonna be the C one yeah no it was his 13

he's already dropping the F bomb isn't he oh god he's done the F bomb many a time then he's two and a half sometimes he just walks around the house saying and I'm like oh it's quite cute it is cute what just saying it for no reason he's heard of at least Meg's kid says it when she's frustrated she just says it musters it under her birthground George doesn't know what he's saying yeah yeah we just know daddy says it a lot be good. All right, first call of the day next. I might try and get Liam on.

Liam's an Irish podcaster of our show. And obviously, St. Patrick's Day for us yesterday, but they'll be celebrating it today. I wonder how an Irishman that doesn't drink celebrates St. Patrick's Day. Probably doesn't celebrate it. Yeah, we'll find out. Clint Megadale. Lesh goal.

First call of the day. First call on the day. Good morning. Morning, morning. Good morning. Happy St. Patrick's Day. for you. I mean, we celebrated yesterday, but you'd be enjoying it today.

Yeah. I missed you guys yesterday because I was coming home from Spain, but still Patrick's there here, obviously, with the time difference, yeah, so life is good. Remind us, where about St Ireland, are you, Liam? Cork. The real capital of Ireland. Cork. The beautiful little tower, city of Cork.

Never heard of it. You've never heard of Cork. I've never heard of Cork. Do you know my wife, I don't know if we, when we caught up last time, Liam, my wife, Hannah lived in Cork for about she worked in a hospital there. Really? Yeah, there's hotties. Yeah, there's a lot of huddies in Corcor, eh?

Yeah. Just one a one-hast now. She would have fit in, eh? It's like a glove, man. He's got, isn't he, Liam? Yeah, he's got our humour. So, wait, you're still not drinking, right? You've never drunk before, Liam?

Not really into it? Not interested? I wouldn't say I'd never drank before, but I still not drinking. Just they've given a zero. 0% winnets, you know? Yeah, you can get them so that would be my drink of choice

because they know to celebrate in St. Patrick. Do the Irish always want to split the G? You know, just take a big gulp until you guess you're at the right space, put your glass down and then if the top of the bear is cutting the logo in half, you've done it. Or are people on an Ireland like them? It has to be right

on the line where the G is like there's no above or just below. I see Matthew and the guys in 660 you were trying to do it was there yesterday weren't they? Yeah, they were. I saw it in a story. They didn't do so good. Yeah, no, you can split the Gidna's zero, so

it's kind of right of passage, you have to do it. That's what my husband does too. Ginnisero is really good, right? It's not bad at all week. Yeah, it's not bad. It tastes like the normal Guinness, so it's all good. Yeah, you can drink it before you go to work. So it does. Even the 0%

per cent tastes like, oh, Clinton, is it? I don't say that. I always find it difficult to split the G because when you've got the cup in your hand and you are sort of tipping it up. It's very difficult to see. Well, you're just more like, I guess, guessing how much liquid is going into your mouth. Yeah, you're drinking up. Do you call it a cup?

Did you call it a cup then? Oh, a glass. What are you supposed to call? Jesus, okay. Can I have a beer in a cup? A mug. You're not going to spit the G if I'm drinking out of a cop, my good friend. Dan likes a butter beer in a nice mug.

Now we're talking. Oh, my. And the trip, despite. Ben, you're doing a half marathon. Pretty bloody good time I saw a bro now, 47? I know, 47, yeah. Cheers, dude, yeah. I got a personal best by a good few minutes, all right, yeah.

Went out to Malaga, did a half marathon on Sunday, so I made sure I was home in time for St. Patrick's there, too. And I saw the old shirtless pick with the medal, eh? How much have you lost since you started getting into running? Oh, like 16 kg, 17 kgs. Yeah, that's a lot. That's a good advertisement to running. Yeah, man.

That's a good advertisement for running. Two kilometers on the tremors today, and I was like, that's enough. I had enough of that. Just trying to keep up with you, my friend, too. I don't know. You two need to get a roof. All right, when are you moving to New Zealand? Oh, jeez.

Probably not 26, maybe 27. It's on the carrots. All right, that's exciting. Say a prayer for me, and fingers crossed and all that's good stuff. All right, man, I'm sure producer Neeps and producer Carl can find a spot for you in the booth. you polish up on your producing skills, perhaps, Carl. First call of the day as well, we usually give a Z-energy station voucher. Do we still want to give that to Liam in Ireland?

Yes, I don't think there's any Z-Zs-in. Oh, send it over. 20 bucks coming you away, bro. Actually, Liam, I don't know if you're too busy, but I've got a kind of St. Patrick's Day themed more or less coming up next. Do you want to stay on for it? Help the boys out? Yeah, absolutely.

Can I just say it, Meg? Since you've had the second baby, you've gotten more hot. Like you've gotten more beautiful looking. I know how it's... No, you've gotten hot. You've got it more hot. He's in more. No, no.

Obviously, you're always hot. Like, yeah, I was blushing when I went to see you guys last year. Obviously, I was blushing when I got to meet you face-to-face. But, like, you've gotten more hot. Boy, I tell you're the only one blushing right now. Meg has got quite a blush on. Clint's just looking jealous. Absolutely.

Yeah, you're an incredible person. I just wanted to say that. Oh, we've been friends a long time, me and Liam. Maybe we don't have you on next because it sounds like you're the things are going to get serious Yeah, I don't know Meg's going to be able to focus And Clint's getting all jealous Yeah, yeah

He's got to think of some nice things to say about me next Okay, we've got to go to a quick break Right now more or less Meek gives us a different topic Two options We have to guess if the first option is more or less Than the second And Liam's going to help us

This morning because it is a St Patrick's Day themed more or less Live from Cork Ireland. You still there, Liam? I'm still here. That was a long time on hold. Sorry about that. Are you heading home from work? Me? Work. I'm Patrick's there. Are you kidding me?

Oh, so you're the day off and we've been sitting here on hold this whole time. It's a public holiday in Ireland. It's a national holiday. It's a day of our patron saints, good St. Patrick. So we all just go get pissed. No, not me personally, but everybody celebrates and just gets pissed. You know, it's like a paid public holiday? Yeah, absolutely. It's kind of like Waitangi Day in New Zealand, like it's the national holiday. That makes sense.

Yeah. All right, more or less. Yeah, look, you've got your anniversary. Yes, true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought it was just a bit of fun for everybody. Let's go into what country drinks more beer per person per year? Ireland or Germany?

I feel like we've done this one before. Do you know, hard to out drink the Germans, wouldn't it be, Liam? I think the Germans and the Czech Republic I think they're pissheads I think they drink more beer Yeah So we're going to go Germany more That is correct

Well done Yeah About 100 litres per person We know who are raised in yearly Yeah Yeah 100 years 100 litres per person yearly Well that's where October fest is as well

Yeah over in Germany So yeah Okay which brand of beer Or beer brand sells more worldwide each year Guinness or Budweiser Guinness. I would lean towards Guinness as well. Budweiser's huge in America.

And people even drinking like Guinness here in New Zealand, but you can't get a bud in New Zealand. You can. I think Guinness have, Guinness, like they do a lot of sales in North America and in Africa, they're huge in Africa as well. Okay, we're going to go to Guinness. More.

Ah, Meg. Apparently, yeah, yeah, that's what the internet says. Apparently Budweiser sells significantly more. That's that they a. Guinness globally for years. Which country drinks more total beer each year? United States or Ireland. Sorry.

Total beer. Now United States. It's 300 million versus four or five million. And that's why you guys have got him. Yes, he's correct. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We should have known that land.

We probably would have gone with Budweiser earlier. True. You should have given us the population. Bugger. Which day sees more Guinness. consumed. St. Patrick's Day or New Year's Eve? Is this just in Ireland? No, worldwide. Oh, God, you can't drink more Guinness on St. Patrick's Day than any other day.

Surely, that's got to be the day. So we're just talking Guinness here, or is it where? I think St. Patrick's. Yeah, well done. 13 million pints of Guinness. Unbelievable. Or a dad would say 13 million cups. And you know what, there's not even any point in doing this last question because Liam already knows the answer which country drinks more.

The Czech Republic or Ireland. Yeah, indeed, indeed. They have the highest bare consumption per capita in the world. 180 litres per person per year. How do we compare me? Can you find out how many liters, New Zealand, drinks up, 180 litres per person? What do you reckon? 40. 40 litres? In a whole year, that's not much.

We need to get Liam on every time we play this game because you are good, Liam. God, Clinton, I suck. No, beer is my special subject. Yeah, yeah, even they doesn't drink. 61 litres of beer per person per year, so Czech Republic is 180, three times that. So then 60 litres and there's about three, like if you're buying like a bottle of beer, there's three bottles in a liter. So we're looking about 180 beers.

So that's, I guess, one every second day. This is too much maths for me. One every second day. No, wait. Or on the weekend, on the weekend you're having six or seven, though. No, yeah. No, in the weekend you'd only be able to have like four a week. Too much, Matt.

That is, I'm so above the average. I'm absolutely pulling the weight for people like Dan. Oh, look, I have a ginger beer once a year, and that's the closest I get to a beer. And it's a cup of it, not a pint. Dan's drinking his cups of ginger beer. Thanks, Liam. Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, Liam, you enjoy your St. Patrick's Day, mate. Thanks for hanging out with us over the last 15. Love you all. Kiyola. Love you, bye. See you, man. Wow. I might have to re-evalue my drinking.

Oh, that's what's going to do it. Coming up next, there is a program that's going on in our business that is looking for mentors for younger people. Clint has been one before on the team, he's been a mentor. And now they're looking for someone else on the team to be one. Why can't you just do it again? I'm still doing my mentorship. So the mentorship that I had last year, he wanted to keep it going.

So we catch up Fortnightly. Okay, Carl you're up. Shocker not. Shocker not. Okay. We'll talk about it. Maybe he didn't have his mic on, but he also said shotgun, not. I can see his lips moving.

We didn't see it, sorry. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. And if you're going to Lincoln Park tonight. Oh, that's with me. Have fun. I'm going to cut away. It's a lot. Spark Arena?

Yes, yes. But not with Chester, obviously. Yeah. She's a new lead singer. You were saying that they cancelled their Australian gigs as well, which is cool they're still making the trip. Yeah, I think it was possibly, from memory, maybe Adelaide, due to a sickness in the band.

so I was thinking, oh, we might not get them, and I was a bit nervous about it. I think with Lincoln Park, especially the lead singer, Emily, you wouldn't want to be doing that singing with a sore throat. No way. She sings so high. Imagine, if you're the lead singer and you get sick, like, what a let down that is because everyone goes, are you sure? You sure you can't do it?

Because the amount of money everyone loses. Must be crazy. True, but it's insured. Like, all that stuff is insured with a tour, so no one's losing money. Yeah, so fingers crossed there. I mean, we haven't heard anything, but it's still going to hear this morning. Daniel Webby, we would describe you as a man who, Is inspiring.

Inspiration. What else, Clint? Help me out here. I'm still trying to get my head around the first two things you thought Dad was. Yeah, you said he doesn't agree with being a leader, Cleod. Depends where we're going. If we're going somewhere that only Dan has been before? Sure.

Someone people look up to. He doesn't agree with that again. People that are under 5 foot 10, sure. Good ideas, maybe? Yes. Yeah. Well, Daniel. media works as a program here to be leaders, mentors

to up and coming people in the company. You've been here, how many is? Too long. Too long. Okay, about 12. I think, and they're looking for people who have, like, made mistakes and learned from them so that these young... Yeah, right.

Good, Dad. So you would also agree you're qualified to be the mentor that I've put you forward for. No, Meg. No, I have. Well, you can't put someone else forward to be a mentor. Nominating them.

Well, I don't want to be a mentor. Well, I've, I don't want to give any more of my time to this company. Right. And B, I'm the worst person that should be a mentor. I don't think so. But C, I don't want to give any more of my time to this company. Because, you know, I would say you're the favourite on the show. And so I think somebody would be very excited here, Dan is there, as the person that gets to, you know, shuffle.

You've had such a journey onto breakfast, radio. too. Start as a producer. A little, little, eddy, any producer. Dan waited nine years in the background for his opportunity and there's a lot of lessons in that about waiting your time. No one mentored me. So why should I be, you could have been quicker. Could have been five years from third of nine. So Dan, I have put you forward, genuinely, I've put your email forward and pretended I was you and, um... Right, well that's genuinely Meg. That's the worst thing you've ever done. Right. Okay. Okay. I'm... I did it last year and it's actually, it's, it's Feels good to give back to young and up-and-coming broadcasts.

All you did was complain. Why you know? No, that's not true, Max. He was going, oh, I've done a little bit. It wasn't about you, Max. He was like, oh, I've got to stay behind. Yeah, he's like, oh, I've got that mentor thing again. So, actually, we both got so much out of it that we continued it beyond the program.

And we still catch up? So you're just friends now? See, Dad, you can have a new friend. I don't want to catch feels with my mentorie. Like, you know, there's all this. Clint's now best mate. I don't want another best break. Okay, Dan, so will you be my mentor or not?

Absolutely not. Oh, damn it, okay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Well, maybe we can practice next. Maybe you don't know you don't like it. True. Do you need some help with something? Do you need mentoring and something?

Maybe you'll see if Dan is up to. Yeah. Maybe some help and just not putting me forward to stuff. Let us know what your work drama is, what you're dealing with in the moment. We'd see how Dan would go in a real-life situation mentoring you through maybe just your one question, see if he's got it in them or not.

Here's a little tip. If you're not enjoying your job, leave. Oh, I don't know. That's really good to face. Actually, I will be a mentor. Okay. Don't like it here. Leave then.

All right, I'll wait under there to 3343. What's going on at the moment? And see if Dan's got the chutzpah to gee you up. I don't have the chutzpik. There's a mentor program here at work. And as a team, we've sort of asked if we could put somebody forward. I did it last year. Very rewarding.

And Dan is an option, maybe, for mentoring some young and upcoming broadcaster. The thing is I do enough extracurricular stuff at this place as it is. I'm always doing above and beyond. I genuinely, that would be my thing, go above and beyond. Really? Yeah, because that's all I do. Okay, well, Cam's got a question, and we'll see how Dan will go in a bit of a dry run being a mentor.

Morning, Cam. Good morning. How are you guys going? Yeah, good. What's the issue, Cam, that Dan might be able to mentor you through? Hurry out. So we're handling souls at the moment at work in preparation for taking a person and others, baby horses. And just looking for any advice regarding that.

They're getting their feet done today for the first time. Oh, baby foals getting their shoes on. Yeah, so what do you want to know? I just, just some general mentorship, some advice would just be really good. Yeah, you've kept it very open. I would say horses are a funny creature, aren't they? Maybe do that advice that mum used to do for us. Make sure you walk around the store first before you.

You know, when you're trying on shoes, actually walk around the store before you just... Yeah, but that's more advice for the horse than the owner. And also, Clint, you can't be Dan's mentor while he's a mentor. He's going to do this on his own. Sorry, Dan. That's like a human centipede of mentorship. I will say, you know what? Do you enjoy your job, Cam?

Yes. Sounds fun. Okay. I don't know how much of my backup is going to be broadcasting. Okay. So broadcasting. So broadcasting. Okay.

I would say if you enjoy your job, just know that not many people do. In fact, I saw a study the other day that said only 20% of people in the world enjoy their job. If you were admitting to enjoying your job, stick with it. Keep putting those shoes on horses or whatever you're doing. There, they need shoes.

Like a cold little feet otherwise. And just because the horses have a long face, doesn't mean they don't enjoy your company. Kick over a text, Dan. We have a potluck lunch at work on Friday. I'm a shit cook. What do I make? Leave. No one cares if you don't bring your potluck, okay? Honestly.

Just go along, eat everybody else's food. No one will notice. You know the company five years going into a contract negotiation next week. It's the best way to go about it. Okay, so you go into that contract negotiation, go to another company and try and get an offer from someone else. Then go into that negotiation and go, here's the offer on the table, beat this,

or you can shove your job up your ass. What happens when, like, okay, what happens, though, when, if, say you were to do that, Dan, you know, maybe the boss's talk from between, like, here and Zidium or something. And they go, we didn't offer anything to Dad. And they go, did you offer something to Dad? They go, nah, definitely not. No, you actually get a legit offer.

I mean, if you're real bulls are you just make it up. You can be a great mental dad. I'm not putting it down as a definite note. It's something there. You've got some sort of chutzpah. I feel like MediWorks would be stoked if I'm saying, just get an offer from ZDM and bring that into the table when you get your next contract negotiation.

I don't think they're going to be stoked about that. Clint Meg and Dan. Spinky B. The edge. Easy Money. Here's your shot at $10,000. Here we go. Just go on 7 o'clock, 10 grand.

If you can give us 10 answers, starting with the lead to me gives you in 30 seconds. If you need a pass, do it quick. If we've got time, we'll come back. But no repeated answers. Those are the only rules. All right, playing this morning is Alec. Hey, Alec.

Hey, Alex. Good morning, Alec. You sound awake, ready to go. Yes, I'm on my way to work. Okay. Okay, good. We've had a couple of good showings in the 7am hour this week.

Okay, your letter this morning is Ar. Ar. Okay, let's get it done, man. Give us 10 answers and we'll put that cash into your bank account today. Let's go. Ready, Alec? I'm ready.

Give me a four-letter word. Red. A boy's name. Red, Ray. A type of music. Pass. Something you can wear. Red blouse.

An animal you'd see at the zoo. Pass. An American actress. Yeah, no, let's just cut it there, guys. Oh, no, excellent. We've had few people bail midway through the driver before, but when you didn't get an animal, like a rhino, or a music genre, reggae, R&B.

Now, did you say to yourself before you started, Alec, just in your head, if I pass more than twice, I'm just going to stop. I'm just going to stop. Oh, to honest, as soon as you guys mentioned the name, I was going to quit anyways. Oh, I don't. Why have I done this?

Hey, producer cut from now and we need to vet them on whether they're quitters or not. We don't take quitters here? On a scouter 1 to 10, how likely are you to quit? Yeah. Thanks, Alec. I appreciate you, bro. I'd love to you.

I'd say try again, but maybe don't. I'd love to say it was a great effort, but let's be honest. It wasn't. Back again at 8, if you want to crack it at $10,000 still on the line. Thanks to Alec, actually. So everyone should be really thanking him and his, you know, quittiness. We have played the, this game in the past, it's time to bring it back

the controversial top five. We've done nuts. I think that they did nuts we got in trouble because we were allowed to do that. Yeah, most famous Gens. Gens was a good one and we've got a controversial top five, the Michael edition. Coming up next.

Clint, Megan, Dan. Haven't done this one in a wee while. Have we team? We haven't. I do love it, although it is probably, if you've ever played the A-Lister game, it's that on steroids because we can get quite heated. We do need your feedback on one. It's the controversial top five and we're doing

Michaels. This is meaning the most famous Michaels number five. Obviously being the least famous going up to one but I've got a lot of Michaels to work with to even get to a top five. Yeah I mean there's God, so many. Okay, let's do a bit of a blind ranking where you can't lock up in but you throw a few out and go, oh yeah, I reckon they could be top five or top three. Michael B. Jordan. He has to be in there.

He has to be in there. Yeah, he just won the Oscar. Okay. Well, what about Michael Jordan? I think he's, for me, without hearing that, I think he could be number one. He's a contender. Michael Jackson. He's number one. Yeah, clearly.

Michael Tyson? Mike Tyson. Now, do we just admit all mics? If they're known as Mike, I feel like that'll call them easily. Okay, so no, Mike Wissowski. Is Mike short for Michael? Yes, it is.

Of course, it is. Or is it official, his name is officially Mike Tyson. I've never heard him being called Michael Tyson. His name will be Michael, I'm sure of it. I'm sure on his birth certificate, most people. I don't know. I feel like you've got to include him. Or is that a separate list?

Well, the thing is, we're going to need to call some somehow. Yeah. Because we've got way more than five. We've got Michael Phelps, the swimmer. He can go. Michael Schumacher. I would say Phelps is more famous than Schumacher. Oh.

Oh, I don't know. A swimmer. Only an Olympic swimmer. The best in the world ever. I think Michael Schumper. Yeah, but he only competed in the Olympics once every four years. So you didn't really get to see him shine all. the time, maybe like Shumacher. If we're taking out mics, then we can't have Michael Angelo.

Of the Ninja Turtle. No, the painter. I feel like he's less relevant as well now. Cross them out. It's right. I'll cross some out. Let's take Schumacher and Michael Angelo out. Okay, those two are gone. And so, okay, what about Michael Sarah from Superbad? San Day was actually a crazy night for me. I had some friends over and we had a few drinks. That's badgettastic.

I hung out in my basement. The chill zone is where we chill lax, like relax and chill. Uh, Michael J. Fox. Oh, now he, now we're talking. Back to the future. Yeah. Well, it's an oldie where I come from. Michael J. Fox. Yeah, he could be top five.

Yeah. I think he scrapes in. What I'm grabbing at the moment, the ones that I think are going to be the top five, Michael Jordan, Michael B Jordan, Michael Jackson, Michael J. Fox, Mike Tyson. No, not Mike Tyson.

Wait, you haven't even mentioned one of the most famous Michael's. Who? Michael Bolton. Oh, for goodness sake. Honestly, Clint, sometimes I do wonder. Lee, I think it's time. You're going to be shipped off to the breeze. I even saw him, no, I mean, he's getting a full of sphery in here.

Hey, even the guys from Lonely Island got him on like a track, because he's that cool. You just haven't seen it because you're not that cool. You really do show you true colours sometimes. Michael McIntyre has come through, someone's mentioned. Who's that? What about Mike Hunt? No, no, Dad. I've never heard of him.

Is he famous? I want to say that one. Right. And I'm the idiot. Right. Okay, so I have my top four, but yeah, I don't know whether it's Michael Phelps, Mike Tyson, Mike Myers, Mike Worsowski, Michael Searle or Michael McAton. For the fifth.

I think Mike Hunt goes in front of Michael Bolton. I've never even heard of him. How can we be lovers know? Said I loved you, but I lied. How about we go to the calls? Oh, 800 of the Edge Texts through 33443. Who have we missed? Meg will put together the final list next.

Clint will have nothing to do with it. I'm going to find more Michael Bolton's songs. I can't believe you've never heard of him ever. What about Mike Oxlog? My bloody daughter, because you, ordered a tank in the weekend, and she put her name down as Mike Oxlong. That's my type of funny.

And I was like, you did not. And it was written on her tank mango. She is funny. It's time to wrap up our controversial top five with an official list before Meg locks it in. You get to weigh in quickly. 0800 the edge.

Most famous Michael's 1 to 5. What do you got? Oh, it sounds like we have wound some people up because we've forgotten a couple. Tim, who have we forgotten? The boob. You forgot Michael Booblet. Michael Booblet.

That's because we only think of him at Christmas. But he has got one of the most... He's really number three. Yeah, I kind of am agreeing with you. Even though we forgot him, he's a very famous Michael. He's a recognising, like, everybody knows Michael Booblet. The fact that we forgot him, though, suggests that... Maybe three feels high.

I don't know, Tracy. Who else have we forgotten? Well, you forgot Michael. Wait, can we? We go and catch coughs through the radio, can we? What is that? No, I'm choking on my moodily. Oh, on your mooseley.

On my mooseley. It's the most Kiwi sentence of ever. I'm choking on my boosley. Okay, Trace, who have we forgotten? Michael Kane. Of course. Of course, someone is choking on their mooseley or negotiated with.

Some men Just want to watch the world Okay, he's got to be in that list Thank you Tracy You're absolutely correct Dan does it good Michael Keene Hannah Who have we forgotten

Mike Hosking Ah well Mike's We are now eliminating Because that might be a different list He's not called Michael Hosking As he's called Mike unfortunately Actually Dan does good impressions Of both of those last two

Why are you good with so many Michael's I don't know what it is about them Hey let me go to my list Newstocks it's 27 past 8 Mike Hosking It's by Osking Michael Cade, Batman. Okay, where do you think he should go?

Michael Cain should be in there. I think he should be in the top five. Maybe we need to hear from Michael Cain and plead to make the list. And then Megan decide if the pleading is good enough. Please, beg. I've worked with Batman. I've worked with many different actors over my career. I was only supposed to blow the bloody doors off.

Now, I've got spots at three and five. Do we think Bublae or Cain goes at three? It's like Sophie's choice. Oh, Kane. Not at three. I think a lot of people would be like, Can, Mike. Like you don't necessarily

see his face straight away. Okay, well, I'll tell you what my list is. Number five, Michael King. Okay. Number four, Michael B. Jordan. I know, but he's still on the B list. We decided yesterday he's up and coming. Number three, Michael Bubele, forgot him,

but my God, that man is well known. Number two, Michael Jordan. Number one, Michael Jackson. Now, that is a controversial number one, but you kind of have to agree. Everybody knows who Michael Jackson is. Good or bad. Good or bad.

Yeah. Someone's going cane to the top. Kane to the top. I don't think I deserve to be, dear. Michael J. Fox got bumped. He missed out as he's six. Michael J. Fox, yeah, he got bumped out, and Michael Phelps got bumped out too.

Of course Michael Felston. What happened to Bolton? Bolton is nice. He isn't even in the top ten. No, what am I? Michael's Bolton. I will turn your microphone off, Daniel Webb. You can turn it back on to the breeze.

All right, your toes have a crack at easy money after Alec couldn't get it done. Seven, I'm going to smash Michael Bolton off here to punish you. No, I don't think you need to hit him because of it. All right, easy money. Back at 8. 10 grand on the line is the edge. And this is how you can get to Harry Stiles for free. We forgot a guy, apparently there's a famous guy called Mike Latoris. Dan.

Dan, out. Climplex, Megan Dance. Flick, flex, that. All right, this is where you have a special skill where you're like, this is something I can do that I don't think many other people can do. You can bring it out. People call it a party trick sometimes as well. This all was inspired many years ago when Daniel told us that he could smell ants. And so I put it as a question in a Facebook group, which has got thousands and thousands of people now,

of like what is a special skill that you have? You can join as well. We need more than the merrier on that group. But you text FAM, FAM to 3343. You can join. There's a lot of like exclusive things you can do in there. Yeah, mostly Clint doesn't talk to anybody. So that's...

Me and I do, though. I think like every quarter, I'll sort of jump in. I once every three months. I get drunk and I just got like a bunch of stuff. Yeah, it's true, that's too. So I've collated them over the years. I've got hundreds and hundreds and I've put together a list of some of my favourites

that I thought you boys would like to... I wouldn't know if you think this is impressive or not, some of these. Right. Kwan can't taste anything sour. Would you like to see that? The thing with that one is, is not, of anything, it's the opposite of a talent. She's literally got a power that most people do.

She doesn't have. Yeah. But I would kind of like to see. someone eat a lemon, just like chewing on it like an apple and then just see if their face changes. Even if it changes the little I get you like. Or you give them one of those real sour lollies, those ones you get from Greensdown. And they can just get through the whole thing. That could be impressive.

A liar. She said... Wait, her name's a liar. A liar, yeah. Ironic? What does she say she can do? She said, I can smell a fart and guess who did it most of the time. I do like how we might...

100% of the time. I do like how we would go about trying to. to test that. Briah, she said, I can tolerate cat vomit. Again, like we could put some cat vomit and she could go up close to it and if her face wits as we go, yeah, I guess.

She can tolerate it again. That's a good one. Leon said I can still see with one eye closed. I thought that might have been one of the worst that's popped up. Someone needs to tell Leon everybody can do that. Hey Leon, bro.

You're not that special. Unless you're a pirate. with a patch. Andrea. Andrea said her special teller is that she can usually, it's an old-the-time, she can usually predict which emergency siren is without seeing the vehicle.

So she knows whether it's the fire or ambulance or police. They play different sirens, tells? Yes. I thought we all knew that. I mean, again, I don't know if it's a talent. Okay, it's a usually. I mean, once you know all of them, I guess you've trained yourself. It makes me think that she says usually she's got it wrong.

A couple of times she's gone. Here comes a fire engine and ambulance goes past. She goes, oh, bugger. Damn it. I'm 60% right. Okay, what about this one? What about David? Would you be impressed to see a man lay a room of carpet blindfolded?

Mmm. It's not something I've sort of yearn for. No, neither. But it's something we couldn't do, maybe. Rosie is actually on the, do want to talk to Rosie? Sure, sure. Okay, Rosie. It's a flex factor.

What's your flex? I can burp the alphabet I can do three actually but that's probably the best one for radio The best one is burp the alphabet Jesus, okay Just give us the first five or six It's probably the only one I can tell you

On the radio Yeah give us to like F Go on Okay Hang on just waking up Yeah Okay E

C C D No E Look at that time Okay we've got us We've got to E

That's the that's the best. Geez, what are the worst ones? I mean, it's better than knowing what sort of emergency vehicles coming up behind you without seeing it. Leah's, who she said, I can feel when something's wet again

like that with her hands. Honestly, if this is the talent, all right, we've got to step it up. We can't hold like a flex factor live event. If that's where we're building towards some of these. Some of these will blow your mind. Okay, yeah.

Do you think this is what happened when they started like American Idol or whatever? And then they were like, they all suck. We're not going to have a show. I was quite impressed with Teresa. She said I can sneeze with my eyes open. And I thought that was. Risky.

I've heard if you sneeze with your eyes open, they can blow out. So she's just a risk to take it. 3, 3, 4, 3. Ping through, what is your flex factor? If you go, mate, okay, I got something you guys be impressed by. I remember there was one. We need to get them on at some point. The lady that said she can't feel earthquakes.

Wendy Woods. Yeah, Wendy. Where are you, Wendy? Please. I can't feel earthquake. Now, has she been in a big earthquake or she just never been an earthquake? Clint Megan Dan. It's time for another.

Clint Megan Dan's Small Town News, see? We do this segment every couple of days. We go through a different small town around New Zealand and just see what's happening there. Exactly. We're missing out here in the big smoke. Yeah, in the big smoke. The city's like Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland.

We know what's going on there. But what's going on in the small places? Yeah, Ashburton, I'm already getting waived it by producer Carl. It's already ringing. Ashburton, RSA, please press one for the office, two for the bar, and three to all the 30s you. You want the bar or the office? We're going to be open.

RSA. I've gone two for the bar. Two for the bar. Okay. I reckon it's going to be a... Roger. This is the Ashburton RASA. You're speaking with Amber.

Amber. We thought it was going to be a Roger. It's an Amber. Good morning. How are we? Bloody good. Better now. This is the year to hour. It's Dan Megan Clint, and we do a little segment on our show called Small Town Gossip. We've come through to you, and we knew Amber would have the goss for us. What's happening in the town? You can tell us that everybody's talking about.

I'm pretty boring, to be honest. I can't say that I get involved in a whole lot of gossip, to be fair. I've just moved down here from Christchurch. But we need a bloody new bridge. Everyone's wishing about that. I'm hearing all about that. This is good. What's wrong with the bridge? Yeah. What's wrong with the old one? We've only got one. So when that one finally carcs it, which it will, it means we're going to be pretty stranded.

Does the bridge seem rickety? Are people talking about it because they're like that's going to go any day? We had like a really, really bad storm one time. Heaps and heaps of water came through. And there was like the craziest we dip in this bridge. Honestly, everyone was sort of waiting for it to do. Would you say it's a death trap? I'm hoping it won't get to that point.

I'm sincerely hoping we don't get that. But let's hope that's not going to be the incentive to get us another one. What you're saying is if it doesn't get fixed soon, people will die. Is that what you're saying? I'm just quoting this for the papers, Amber. Oh my God, you're going to get me in the spot right now, aren't you? Who do we need to fix it? Yeah, who needs to fix the bridge?

Whose job is it? Maybe the council? Going through the council. We should probably chase this. Amber, now you're stuck with us. You're going to sit in a hole. I am. I will have to go.

So unfortunately, I'm bar lady on my own today, so I'll have to go as soon as somebody wants to be. Well, you leave it with us, babe. We're all over it. Yeah. You save the day, guys. Yeah, next time you're talking to the elderly in the pig thing and pissed off about the bridge, you go, well, guess what?

I'm on it. I'm working on it. Okay, thank you. Thanks, guys. I appreciate it. Wouldn't it be great if we could get Ashburn on a new bridge? Well, we've already got the number for the mayor. You need the extension.

You guys are good at songs. Do you think you can work with London Bridge? Change it a bit? Yeah, the Furgies. song? I just say, you love a parody. I mean, if the bridge happens, we'll do the parody. It's hard to fit

London Bridge and put, change it to Ash Burton Bridge is fine. Yeah, Burden Bridge, Burton Bridge. We just got to put the ash first and London becomes Burton. What we'll do is we'll make that parody song, send it to the council. That'll get things fixed. Do you reckon if we go home at, we've already done the song.

So what the hell's going on? If you want to know the problem, we've made a song about it. Don't tease us, Meg. Clint, Megan Dan. And Michael B. Jordan, after winning his Oscar, ended up going straight in and out burger. And it was crazy, crazy scenes on social media with everyone trying to stand back as respectfully as they could

whilst also trying to get a piece. It's apparently a thing they do, eh? Celebrities when they get an Oscar, they go in an Outburger. It was chaotic. And Tom, an Englishman, with his partner, actually were the ones that got the closest and managed to fist bump Michael B. Jordan. Hey, how you doing?

Good, bro. I saw your post. So you kind of like were in and around the area and then did you just try your luck? Well, I mean, I did have prior knowledge that I know there's a history of like previous Oscar winners going to in and out. Me and my partner were in like the area.

I thought, let's just try a look. Let's go into we can see any celebrities leaving the, you know, the area. And I actually saw Nicole Kidman. I saw Tiana Taylor. They all went straight past us in these luxury golf cart And then after about another further hour Like no one else was coming out

And I thought, well, let's just head home We're in L.A. There's no way I'm leaving Without getting an in-and-out burger So we headed down the road, ordered like a triple And then five minutes later he walks in And the whole place just erupts, as you can imagine. God, what the... Holy shit.

Thank you, mate. Tom holds out the first few times and finally gets the first part as he exits. You'd be so gutted if you'd just made your order because you're not going to get your burger for ages. Yeah. I had to wait a little bit longer, yeah. I'd be gutted.

But knowing and a out, it was still delicious. But saying that, he did, he had a, he had a quit bite of his burger. He only left his fries behind. So we went and ate his fries. Hey, you've had someone named DNA. How did Michael B. Jordan fries taste? Oh, they were, they were actually, they were still hot. Boom.

Hey, thanks Tom. It's a great lame claim to fame, which is what we're going to throw out there this morning. I sat on a toilet that Beyonce and Jay-Z had been on, like, the week prior. I mean, it's... I don't know. I went to an accommodation. They were like, Beyonce and Jay-Z stayed here only, like, last week for a couple of weeks.

And I was like, really? It was like Eagles Nest in the Babe Island. So I ran around. I sat on every toilet bare ass just shows how wealthy you are that you're staying in the same. pain places. We were as a job. We were filming that. I remember when Justin Bieber was at the kind of prime

of his career and he came in, visited us at the edge and he wore my headphones for all the interviews. And so I then had the same headphones that Justin Bieber wore for the bright yellow headphones and all the videos and stuff. So it is air juice.

You got Justin Bieber's air juice in your ears. That's kind of... Yeah, not bad. He needs to clean his ears if that's the case. He's getting air juice in the headphones. Who's wearing them? I actually had a run in with Justin B which I'll talk about next as well. He went on a bit of a rant somewhere in a physical rant, doing something to be like, I'd say three or four people that left me with an injury.

Oh my God. Have you got a lame claim to fame where you don't really tell too many people when it comes to like a celebrity interaction because you're like, oh, it's not like you sat down and had a meal with him, but you're like, oh, it was something. Our old producer, Phipsey. Yeah. He accidentally vomited on Willie Appiatta's shoes.

That's right. Oh my God. Didn't he get some of metal of... Yeah, but the purple heart kind of thing. Purple heart. And he vomited on his shoes. He did he come back from war and that's what happens. What's yours?

I went under the edge. We're talking lame claim to fame after an Irishman. Tom was on the show. And he was the guy that fist pump Michael B. Jordan in and outburger and then finished his fries off. Yeah, pretty cool. That's cool. Someone said, what do you think of this, Dan?

You'd love this. I one time got passed by Lewis Hamilton. I was in a school zone. Oh, Star Triple five him. And you got overtake him. I do know. He was here once. He came years ago when he was driving for McLaren

and he was riding a motorbike and got a speeding fine. Wow. It was in the news many years ago. I once used a pen that Barack Obama had used to sign something with. Don't know if I still have it. That's a shame. That's a shame. Yeah.

Someone's text through saying my friends, my friends are friends with the Green Power Ranger. Now that is a friends of a friend's story. I don't even know them personally. I don't even know the name either. Not as good as the guy who used a gym bench that was still warm from Chris Evans. Oh, that's good on America. That's good.

That's good. That one's a good one. You get a sweat on your back. That's good on him. Jeremy, what's your lame claim to fame? Well, a little bit off brand. It's not an interaction with a celebrity, you would say, but I thought of something in Kiwi-Arton. My dad will hate this because he's keeping it a secret or, it doesn't really talk about it.

But you know the longest drink in town milkshake cup? Oh, yeah. The dry. The giraffe, yeah, the giraffe. Yeah, the giraffe. He drew that when he was a graphic artist in Auckland, and it was just a job that he did in amongst other stuff. But there you go. Still around.

That is actually... Oh, whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How much do you get the best one? That's the best one we've had. How much did he get paid for that? Like, is he rich now, or is he getting nothing for it? No, no, no.

It's just when you're a graphic artist, you obviously get jobs that come across your desk, and you just come up with designs for a milkshake carp or whatever else. and then they pick it and there you go. Have you ever asked your dad why he called it the longest drinking town instead of the tallest because it's a giraffe? Maybe he didn't come off the slogan. I don't know.

All I know is that jirabs are his favourite animal and there was a couple of other designs that he's told me about that he did which we never chosen. It's a shame that he's not rich from it, Jeremy, because people have literally buying art where it's like framed on their walls because it's so iconic. We would be pissed.

Every time we saw the artwork, I'd be like, not get a cent from that. Didn't that artist, the famous artist, Dick Fizzle or whatever, what's his name, Dick Fritzel? Friselle, yeah. He did a version of that. And it's like sells for thousands of dollars. Hey, thanks, Jeremy.

Appreciate listening to the show, brother. Oh my God, that's so cool. I actually feel quite special that I know, Jeremy now. Eli, Ellie, Ellie. Good morning. So you stayed in the same hotel with who? No, no, no, it's not even that close. I can just see it from, I can just see it

from my lounge. It's even lameer. Okay, so from your lounge, you can see a hotel, and inside the hotel room was who? Was Chris, oh, I can't, I'm not, I couldn't see inside the hotel room. Oh, gosh, you saw a hotel from your lounge that Chris Martin stayed in. Yeah, Ellie, that's the worst. That's the worst. It's the worst. It's even Lamer.

So you knew they were in the hotel, but you couldn't see them, but you could see the outside of the hotel they were staying in. No, it gets Lama because I didn't even live here then. I live here now. Oh my God. So you now live next door to the hotel that Chris Martin Gwitton Pilder once stayed in. Oh, yours is terrible. That's the worst one, Ellie.

That's the worst one. Yeah, that's really bad. That's a super, super, super lame claim to pay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. All right, we're done. We should bring that back, though. We should bring that back.

There's a few more. There's a few more that we can get to that we've run out in time. Yeah, someone swam in the same pool as Teddy Swims. Hopefully it was at the same time as well. It was just a week earlier. Teddy swam here last year. Clint, Meg and Dan. The Edge's easy money.

Here's your shot at $10,000. Four past eight, here we go. 10,000 bucks on the line. You can give us 10 answers starting with the letter. Me gives you on 30 seconds and the cash is yours. You can pass. We've got time. We'll come back, but no repeated answers.

Morning, Middy. Good morning. Good morning. How's Gizzy this morning? Not bad. Okay, good. Well, Middy, hopefully. you do better than the man we had on at 7.

It was an absolute shock. Epismal. Okay. All right, Middy, your letter is M for Middy. Oh, okay. You can do this. All right, your time will start at the end of Miga asking you. Your first question, best of luck. Let's get it back. So, hold on, because I've got a block nose and it's M's, but that's okay.

No, you've worked for what you've got. Okay, here we go. Give me a month. March. A film. Medigascar. Something you find in the bathroom. A pass A colour

Maroon Something that you can read magazine Something you can plug in A mobile phone A band with more than three members Oh Pass

A brand that sells dairy products That was bloody good though It was you got five answers correct And you answered what seven So it's pretty good Maroon 5 for the base But you'd already use maroons? I was like, oh, oh.

Damn it. Yeah, for something when they find in the bathroom, you get it on mirror, mouthwash, moisturiser. But again, we have the answers in front of us. Yeah, I have Matt in my head, but. Yeah. Yeah, well. Sorry, Middy.

Next chance to play is at 7 a.m. tomorrow. We've got to give away that $10,000. We have a special guest once week. We catch up with Erica from A Little Nudge. Thanks for being with us again, Erica. Thank you so much. I'm excited to be here. Got a whole lot of questions.

coming through already. We won't be able to get to all of them, but we can chuck them to the front of the queue for next week. Yeah, morning, Erica. We've got one. How do I tell a guy that I've been seen for three weeks

that it's no longer working? Like, how would you word it to reply? I've really enjoyed all the time we've spent together over the last three weeks. Thank you so much for our fun dates. But unfortunately, I'm just not feeling the connection I'm looking for, and I wish you the best. It still makes me all shiver, though, isn't it?

But it's a good one. It's so nice, because it's got a little bit of love in there. But at the same time, it's to the point. You're telling them exactly. They can't come back and go, oh, please, please, please. You know, like it's very... Oh, please, please, please, please. The kindest thing you can do.

Helvin do you do that, Dan. I mean, the kindest thing you can do for somebody is to be honest. And I get a lot of questions about, like, how honest should I be? You don't have to nitpick. I don't like you because you have bad breath and you this and you that, right? Yeah, yeah. Like, that's not honest. That's cool.

Yes. And so the best thing we can do is kindly and tactfully tell somebody we don't want to see them. Whether you use the words I just said or, I don't see us aligned long term or anything like that. And I know people try to avoid confrontation. So the ghost, which I would never recommend. And I have to remind people that you trying to protect somebody else's feelings is completely unnecessary because anyone dating knows the inherent risk in dating is that somebody could hurt you

or you could hurt them. So as long as you're nice about it, there's nothing else we can do. Well, then maybe I'll just tag this question on because I think it's probably going to warrant a similar response from you. The girl I'm seeing just told me she has kids. I'm really into it, but I'm not ready to be a dad. What do I say? This is a tough one.

I think it's first important to ask yourself, is this a hard and fast rule? Or is it something I can think about? Is it an immediate this will not work? Or is it something I've never considered because of lack of familiarity? Also, you don't know what type of relationship she might want you to have with her children.

You're not going to have it overnight. And I don't think she's probably looking for a replacement dad. So it might be worth talking about at some point how involved the ex is. What would you want from a partner in terms of your kids' lives? I don't know how old these children are. So if you truly really like this, I would be a little upset, first of all,

if it didn't come out for a long, long time that somebody had children. So talk about that first. Like, why didn't that come up? But then second, this is really good practice. Whether you decide to continue dating this person or not, it's really good practice in communication, just to see what comes out of this conversation. So I don't have a great answer to this other than be open about it.

If you have kids and that scare someone off. scare that off. If you're meeting online, just check the box that says has children. You don't have to do anything more than that. You don't have to write it in your profile. But I would definitely share early, not all of the details, but that you do have children because let people weed themselves out if that's not for them. Children are part of your lifestyle. They're part of your availability. They're part of many things. And so I would share that early. Not all of the details, but that you have children in a general age range. I do think it's important in dating. Sure. You always have the best. responses to all things, relationships. Thank you, Erica. We all chat to you again next week. Okay, bye. Bye. See you, bye.

What about this text that's come in already? I'm a mum of two, and I have a hard rule that I don't tell a new partner I have kids until date three. I want them to get to know me before assuming my entire identity as being a mom. Oh, no, date one. If I had kids, I would be telling them date one.

You do have a child? Two and a half-year-old son. I do, don't know. No, but you know, that's what I mean. Like, if I was like, the most important thing in my life. I'm getting it out in the open. You're saying if again.

Yeah. I'm more thinking about myself but I was in the dating world, which I'm not. Right. Okay, what you're not. I'm married. Yeah, right. But you put that on. One waste time, three dates and they go,

I'm not interested now. Okay, dating with kids, what's your rule? Andy, or if you want to weigh in on that one. Date three, the kids get brought up. Too late? I've seen that on, I think, married at first sight. She didn't bring it up until, well and truly they were married. That's one hell of a bomb shout to bring up on

Date 3. Oh, producers, we're getting into to hold that info back age. Wait, wait, wait. Just keep it another week. We'll give you another bonus. Be open. If you're on the dating scene and you've got kids, no matter the ages, what's your rule about when you tell somebody that you're new to dating when you have children?

Is it right away by a student date? That's what we want to know at this point. We've got to text someone saying, date 3 is their hard and fast rule. That's when they bring it up so they get to know them without just assuming their entire identity has been a mum. The other thing is like, difference. between knowing someone has kids and then when they introduce you to their kids. Oh, I'd introduce you do it when you're comfortable. But in my opinion, if I was going back into the dating world, I have got a son.

I'm saying at first date. If not, it's in my bio on my dating apps. I try to be very hard to introduce my kids to somebody knew I was dating very, very, very... What's the time do you think? Yeah. Yeah, yeah? I don't know. I don't know.

It's hard because if me and you are dating, Meg, and then we're really getting along. That's awkward. The most important thing to you, your children, I know nothing about. for a whole year. I just find it really tough on finding that line between introducing somebody to my daughters. Sure. If they, if I don't know if it's going to last. And then it's upsetting to be.

Yeah, attached. All right, let's go to Sally. Sally, what are your rules on it? Are you dating and have kids? No, it's just that hypothetically, if children like mine are adults, does it really matter? Oh, adults, I think, a different year, because then you sort of moved on. You know, or even late teens. Yeah, they're kind of out of the, you know.

So the older the kid is the faster you can introduce them because they're a bit more mature in handling maybe the potential breakup. Yeah, it's irrelevant. Yeah, I think you're right. I think we're more talking about if you've got kids, like, you know, school-aged kids that you're still having to dedicate your life to, you know? Yeah, kind of like this one, Sally, it says my ex introduced me to their kids way too early in hindsight.

When we broke up, I felt like I'd lost an entire family. Wow. Just a partner. I'd love to know how long that relationship went for because how long was he with her before he started saying they were your family? Yeah, gosh, that might have been the red flag. Yeah, they'd like three dates.

Yeah. Yeah. But I think on the text machine, most people are saying first date, get it out of the way. Because of that person then goes, oh, you know what, they can make a decision. Yeah, I think if you're dating at a certain age,

like if you're dating maybe in your 50s or up, people maybe assume you've got kids anyway. Like, you know what I mean? Maybe it's more like an assumption by that point. This mum who says this is the reason why she doesn't put it in her bio, she says, I'll just let them know before the date we've organised. I'll shoot them a message saying, oh, I didn't include it in my bio for safety reasons that I'm a mum,

but just giving you a heads up because you deserve to know. Good on you. I think that's great. So you get chatting and then just before the day, I mean, I don't know if it's a day before you go, by the way. Wonder how many people bail on it after that. And it is true. Unfortunately, the world is full of horrible people.

And sometimes you do have to have safety reasons about not saying I've got kids when you're looking for a new partner. Wouldn't you prefer a guy or a woman to go not interested and bail? 100% early. Because then you're like, well, your kids deserve a great partner who's going to accept them and be there for them. If they don't think they can do that early on, then see you later. Oh, they're lucky to know your kids.

That's how I'd see it. Yeah. So if they want to bail. Yeah. Ashley's got a good point as well. She texts her saying, I meet them now and then tell them. So I get the vibe. Which is fair.

You sort of get a vibe of the person and set. See if they're worth telling. Whereas Caitlin says, I have it in my bio that I'm a mum, so that they know from the get-go. They can make the decision early whether they want to be involved with children before they swipe. Clint Megan Dan.

Let's go. It's Clint Megan Dan's. Flick, Flix Factor. Yeah, we're looking for some super lame power's flex factor. What can you flex? I read one before saying, out of my three dogs, without looking, I can tell who's drinking water.

Dan and I being overthinking about one actually behind the scenes. We feel like that would be exciting to test if all three dogs were the same breed and they weren't a massive dog and a tiny dog. Like if she had a bichon fris and a great dain, very easy to tell who's drinking. I went on Louise, if you're listening right now,

give us a call 0-800-Eage. I went onto her page. Now, I don't know if things have changed since she wrote that into me, but she looks like she has 11 dogs in her profile picture now. Jesus. That is impressive if she can tell. Either she's a dog walker or she's got more dogs and that would be even more impressive.

Right, I have some more to go through. What do you think about these ones? I can remember people's birthdays, like even some kids I went to primary school with. That's sharp. The thing with that one is it is kind of impressive because you've got a good memory, like a photographic memory. How do you test it, though?

Fair. How do you test people? Do we just have to get people from her school on and surprise them with some sort of reunion and hope that at some point they had the discussion. Yeah. A lot of prep for a bit. Justinda said, I can always pick the crisp apples.

I like that one to test. Because I think if she could, she's like, that's flowery. Nothing worse. Crisp is relative, though. Some people might think a crisp apple is a bit ploury. Lizzie can guess men's pants size just from looking at them. Impressive.

You could line up a bunch of men. That is impressive. Everyone in the office. And then we could see if Dan could do the skill with women. Oh, no. Brass down. Oh, Emma's got your skill clinch. She can fart on demand.

Brilliant. I think the thing that makes it impressive, though, is when you hear it, you go, I don't know. anyone in my circle friends that could do that. So it becomes impressive because you don't know anyone that has the skill. Denise can write something with both of her feet. No. Unless it's exactly

the same handwriting as her hands. Tom reckons, if spending just, I don't know if it's a sniff thing or if it's just a vibe, but he reckons he can tell if women are on their menstrual cycle or not. Like if you put a whole bunch of women in room, he could go, she is, she's not, she is. Okay. I'd almost like to do that one just to prove him wrong.

Would you mean a smell thing? Well, I don't know if it's... I don't know how he tests it. It's a pheromones. I don't know, but he reckons he can always tell. Let's go to the phones, because there's a few people calling through with stuff that we could even test.

Morning, Alex. Good morning. So what's the thing, the talent that you claim to have? So I'm able to, when you put a bed sheet on the bed, the fitted sheet, every time I get it to reach, so I don't have to figure it out. I can just put it straight on.

I don't understand. How can you get it wrong? No, no. Well, there's a 50% of the time you wouldn't see right. Well, you know, you put a... Your bed's not perfectly square, but I reckon it'd have to be 50-50 most of the time because every time you grab a corner and then you go stretch out, you got it last time,

I'd miss it this time. How are you getting it 100%? No, I'm not. It's just every time I just feel it. A quick kind of just touch, quick touch and straight on. Quick touch and straight on. Okay. Wow.

I mean, it is... I know. You want to put it in a circus? Yeah, I mean, I feel like if Alex went into the circus, he'd be like, these guys are incredible. I'm more impressed by Monique's, personally, Monique. What can you do? What's your superpower?

So I think I wouldn't let you guys know. So I'm just going to move myself away from my dog. I thought she'd an impression of a dog for a second? I was like, whoa, that's good. So long. No, so my talent is I've had this since I was 11 years old. I can go into a secondhand store. Yeah.

Pick up any box of puzzles. don't have to even look inside and I know how many pieces are missing. That is the most impressive thing. You know, no. To me, that is the one I need to test. That is good. Easy to test. We just get some puzzles and take out a few things.

Yeah, and see if she can pick up and tell. Wait, wait. Do you mean the skill, Manique, is it like, say we take the lid off and we just show you the pieces and you go, that's a thousand piece. And then I show you another. That's 500 piece. No, no. We could take four of them out and you go, that's 496 pieces. No, so we had, I've got to actually like physically pick up the box.

and have it in my hands, but I don't even have to look inside. So my partner actually bought a hundred-piece puzzle once from second-hand store, and there was 33 pieces missing, and before he even opened it, I told him there's 33 pieces missing. You need to make it back. We're sending a rowrunner to plug-d-ahibu. Go on. He opened it, and he went through every single piece, and there was exactly 32-3-3-3-13-

Has this happened more than once, though, Monique? If it happened one time, great fluke. But has it happened more than once? No, not. It's happened. And the first time it ever happened to me, I was 11 years old. Okay, we're getting her in. She's a apology.

So you don't even... I'll send her a taxi right now. You don't even need a margin of error of like eight pieces either side. Stop complicating it. She can guess by holding a thing. Let's get her in. Come on. Stop putting her off the scent.

She'll get nervous. We need her in studio tomorrow. We need her in studio. Help. Hey, you guys need me in there. I'll be in there and you get those boxes and I'll tell you exactly how many of the video. Oh, my God. I'm so excited.

Okay, let's all bring a puzzle. Let's all bring a puzzle. We're going to have to count them out just to make sure, eh? I've got kid ones, so they're not that big anyway. Why don't they start making it too easy? Your wife seems like a puzzler. Oh, God, she's got so many puzzles. Clint, Megan.

All right, we're going to Chuck a few stories on your radar, and then we're going to look for three specific types of people. The winner is the person that gets someone to call for their topic first. All right. Just come out yesterday. A study has released more research into ADHD brains. I know that you were recently diagnosed, Dan. They have identified a brain pattern that has helped explain why people with ADHD often struggled to stay focused.

Even while awake, the brains can slip into brief episodes of sleep-like activity during demanding tasks. So the first time ever they've found that people with ADHD have almost, they're awake, but their brain has gone to a sleep-like state and that is why they can't stay focused when doing hard things. I'm looking for somebody the oldest person I can find that got diagnosed with ADHD

later in life. I'll have heaps of those people listening. Yeah, I know there's people in their 30s. Can we get 40s, 50, 60s? Wait, so Dan's brain could be turning off during the hours of 6 and 10 when we're on here? Highly likely, Clinton.

Yes, very highly likely. Is it on now? Yeah, we don't know. I don't know. My turn now, is it? Yeah. I'm looking for someone that's had their job replaced by AI because Bill Gates has come out,

one of the richest men in the world, the founder of Microsoft, saying that there is only three jobs that will survive the AI takeover. Those three jobs, are ones that I was actually surprised to hear. He says that coders, people that write code for computers and internet,

will survive because they will need to code AI. So those jobs will still exist. Biologists, he said the jobs that they do are too creative and too critical and too complex for AI to do. So he says that they'll survive. And also energy workers for the same thing. Apparently people that work in power stations work to power the earth, power AI, will still have jobs and the AI takeover. I'd like to see AI climb under a house and fix people's pipes and what plumbers get up to.

We're machines. I mean, there's machines now they can do heart operations. Clint, I think they can fix pipes. And he's talking within 20 to 50 years The AI takeover will have fully taken effect So I want to know if anybody has had their job replaced by AI That's listening right now We're at the edge

We spoke to this guy John O Ridler who's swimming the length of the North Island He's over 1,000 kilometres into his 1,400 kilometre Unassisted No Wetsuit swim He's trying to raise awareness to end bottom sea trawling Very close to Wellington now From what I can see on his live stream He's swimming at the moment

Unreal, right? And we've had him on the show before. He ended up swimming alongside orcas. Sharks. Yeah, all sorts of different creatures. And I saw another video just recently. Maybe it's the warm waters in New Zealand at the moment. Of a guy with a drone out paddleboarding.

And an orca comes up next to his paddleboard. He jumped off his board and just started swimming alongside him. They were in the best time, the two of them. That's ballsy. I feel like the killer, I mean, the orcas, been given the killer whale name. It's a little bit unfair. They seem very lovely. I love to know if anyone's ever swum.

in the wild with an orca. I think the killer whale comes from seals and other types of sea creatures. So looking for somebody who has swam with an orca, somebody who's had their job replaced because of AI, and somebody who's in the early 40s, 50s,

how old can I get who has been diagnosed with ADHD late in life? You love an old guy, don't you? There's already a lot's coming through. Any excuse to get on on the show? Sugar Daddy? All cool, really. All right, we threw.

a few topical stories on your radar and off the back of them are looking for three specific types of people. Dan wanted somebody whose job had been taken by AI, Clint looking for somebody who'd swam with a whale ochre. Yes. And I was looking for somebody who had been diagnosed very late in life with ADHD

after a study came out yesterday finding that the brain actually slips into brief episodes of sleeplike activity during demanding tasks. Which, as you can imagine, going through school or your whole life, I would find that very frustrating and you feel like you've been playing in hard mode

instead of easy. Yeah, I was diagnosed in my mid-30s and if anything, I just sort of explained a lot of stuff. Yeah. You know, but I read a study the other day that said that it could be up to 40% of people that have ADHD and it's just a thing. It's just a different brain function.

It's almost just a normal thing. You're doing life on hard and then you're diagnosed, I thought the whole thing was now you take riddle in and you're doing life on easy or medium. Is that another case? I think it's different

for all different times. types of ADHD. Like if Ritalin works for you and the medication works for you, then fine. Either there's a lot of cases that myself included where Ritalin doesn't really do enough for you or it doesn't really change it. It's just changing your lifestyle and changing the way you do things. It helps more. I did happen to find, let's get to, I think, a couple of people. Simon, when were you diagnosed with ADHD? 40 years old. Well, that's still very, very, very young. Yeah, and what made you go right?

I am finally going to go and get tested? I think it was a case of just not feeling like things were going right. You know, you're always just sort of wandering through life going, well, some things seemed like that could be a little bit easier, but I was very lucky that one of my customers at a job actually started chatting to me about the fact he was going to be diagnosed. And he gave me 10 things that. His wife had pointed out to him, and I ticked every single one.

You're like, that sounds familiar. And did you find it a game changer after you got diagnosed and started taking Ritalin? Hugely. I've actually moved on from Ritalin, so I'm on the Vyvance. I think they call it now because probably like you, Dan, where the Ritalin just wasn't enough. Yeah, yeah.

It wasn't last and long. And I think like you, Simon, a lot of people have to, and like a lot of things with medical stuff, you have to try maybe a few things before you find the right medication for you. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Thank you, Simon. We also have Kerry.

Kerry, is it correct, that you were diagnosed at 56? Yeah, last year. Wow, never too late, eh? Never too late. And what was the turning point for you then? After all these years that you go, right, I'm going to go and see if I do have ADHD. I think it came down, the whole family took a bit of a test of, for a laugh. I'm wrong.

Different thing for autism. and ADHD and stuff like that. And we all like, she scored pretty high, but it really came about with my daughter and stuff like that, really. And I just thought, actually, maybe I took quite a few of those boxes. And then my niece got...

Sorry, how has it changed your life? Trying to get the... Should we say? Ritalin didn't quite do it. But, yeah, it's just trying to get the right dosage that works, because it all interacts differently, if that makes it. That's so interesting.

And I think we've spoken so much about ADHD in the past where it's like this thing, it's a disorder or whatever it is that people call it, it's just a different brain. And I think that we all have different brains and ADHD is just one of those things. I think we need to stop looking at it as like this thing that's wrong with you. It's definitely not.

Ask Kerry one last question. What is the number one thing that needs doing right now that you keep putting off? Me? God, name it. To be fair, I'm trying to get back into my art and doing canvases and stuff like that and being able to concentrate and I run my own business.

So I'm busy anyway, but just trying to do something that I used to love that I don't have the time for or I have put it to the side. Good on you, Kerry. A lot of people that have ADHD are very good with creative stuff like art. Not me, but some people are like hearing. Also, I don't know if this is a listener fact, and obviously we didn't get anyone in this one with an orca. Nicole says, hey guys, just FYI, an orca is a dolphin, not a whale.

Why do we call them killer whales then? That's the tricky one. Something for the Overthinkers, Bok us? Maybe they are technically a dolphin in terms of. You don't call them a killer whale if they're a dolphin? Honestly, all three of us are on the spectrum, and we need that because of that, we get off. Like, oh God, here we go.

Coming up with a name, wouldn't you call it a big black dolphin? I mean, it doesn't roll off the tongue as much as an orca whale. Yeah, but I mean, if, hawk is fine, but if we're going to change it. Yeah, but you've already got dolphins, Clint. We've got an oracle whale and a dolphin. But it's not a whale, according to Nicole. Someone chat EBT that, right? Clint has OCD, by the way, everybody.

Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. It makes a lot of sense. We don't have time to cover that off now, unfortunately. 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.
