The Edge Breakfast - Clint, Meg & Dan - Summer Catchup Podcast #2

Episode Date: December 24, 2025

Hope you're enjoying your summer break! Here's some more Clint, Meg & Dan to help get you through! A titanic debate, Clints Analogies & the imperfect parent hotline...

Hey, welcome to the summer holiday podcast that we are sort of drip feeding you over the next few weeks. Appreciate you still wanting to get your Clint, Megan Dan, Fix. Clint's coming to you from Fiji. I'm coming from your, what, coming in you, no. Obviously, we're recorded these before our break, and we're hoping to come back much more refreshed. Anyway, the Titanic debate features in this podcast, whether or not the old lady was actually on the Titanic. The age-old debate. A lot of people thought that she was, in fact, on the Titanic

and she wasn't an actress, including myself. I'm not going to correct that, actually, because you're right. There were a lot of people that were in your boat for keeping the analogy going, and I was shocked by that. Of course, she was an actress. Anyway. Clint's analogy. The only reason we do that is because producer car made up a beard that says

A-N-A-L-O-G-I-E-S. Oh, is that? I always wondered why we're doing, calling it that. Yeah, anal. It's quite a visual gag, isn't it? You need to see it written down. Yeah. And there you go, it's another segment.

Clint's anal allergies. I think what he does is he goes, it's Clint, A-N, A-L, then he pauses. O-G-I-E-S. Yeah. Because anis allergy sounds like you've just got a very medically... Clint's anal. Yeah, like sensitive butthole.

And also imperfect parent hotline is on this podcast. So enjoy those things, and thanks for getting your fix. Yeah, thank you. Whilst, you know, hopefully still kicking around, unless you're back at work, Because some people are... And you know what? You people are the soul to the earth, battleers.

Enjoy. Clint, Megan, Dan. We're supposed to do Dan's a Google history right now. And I don't want to be the one to, like, throw out the plan of the show. But sometimes... So we're just talking about the Titanic, right? That Matthew McConaughey missed out on the role of Jack because he wouldn't do the accent.

Thank goodness he did because Leo was fantastic. Yeah, Dan, what did you just figure out recently about this film? Well, when I say I just figured it out, It was of three years ago. Yeah, but the film came out, what, 20 years ago? 1997, I know, because it's my second favorite movie. Okay, so it came out 28 years ago. Yes.

And for 25 years, a quarter of a century, you thought... That the old lady rose in the movie. You know how it sort of crosses back between documentary and real... No part of this film is a documentary. It's people acting. The only people that stand with me, Ash, you're going to look like the idiot here. Keep explaining. I thought for many years, and it was, I think, testament to the great performance of the old woman,

that she was an actor. I thought for many, many years, that the old lady was legit on the Titanic, and she was Rose in real life. Why did you think that even though it's a drama, like a fictional movie, why would you think that one of the people in the movie was really on the Titanic? Because it was filmed in a documentary style. And so when she turns up on the helicopter and stuff I was like oh my God this is fantastic They brought her in for the movie

She knows the story Yeah but at no point do they say that But she's telling her story as Rose Right and that she met this guy on the boat And let's say Rose is in her 20s Wouldn't you have done the maths and be like The Titanic sank in 1912 The movie came out in 97

So that's 85 years ago So if she was 20 She'd be 110 I didn't do the math Obviously Yeah but I would She was so, to see someone sticks through, I'm with you, two people, 100 cents. She's just a genuinely thought.

Can I just, like, what about like at the end of the movie where she's like lying in her bed and then she wakes up and then walks out to the end of the boat and the cameraman's just perfectly there to watch her wake up and got the helicopter and the drone ready to watch her throw the necklace off, sorry, spoilers, necklace off the back. I was, I knew that she was playing it up for the bit. But I didn't think, I thought she was legit on the Titanic. That makes no logical sense. I'll tell you what, it makes 100% logical sense. It is a drama.

It's a fictional film, and you've just decided, even though they've at no point told us that this woman was really on the Titanic, you've just, it makes no sense to it. And I've never met anyone who thought that. She said she could still smell the fresh paint. The China had never been used. She knew.

She's an actor. Yeah, and Rose said that Leonardo couldn't foot on the door, but he could. She knew. And she was so, like, her performance was so palpable. Because she's an actor. That's like, that's like the blind side, which is based on a true story. Like they have like Sandra Bullock and then they go and get the actual real dad

and put him in just so that he can make sure Sandra's doing it right. And you've just decided, but his acting was so good. He had to have really been there. He could have just be a really good actor. Oh, guys, you guys, we're getting flooded with checks of people on my side. How are there this many people? There is, because it was, I don't, they don't explain it in the movie. And it makes sense now I know.

We have got 15 texts just now that have come through saying, I'm with Dan, I'm with Dan, I thought the same as you, I was today's, I've always thought the same, just found this out now. They thought the old lady was really on it. She was. Because she was old, it was filmed a documentary style. Why would you question it? Because it's a film.

It's not a documentary. You can't have half-drama. It's one. Unless James Cameron sold it as for the first time ever, we're going to make a half-documentary, half-fiction film about the time. What is, I love our listeners, but I, what is wrong with you guys? Moran, is that how I say? You're with me on this? Yep, 100%.

You see? You thought it was, but... She could still smell the fresh paint. Oh my God, she just read a line that she was given. Oh, my God. The cutlery had never been used. Okay. Out of about 30 texts we've gotten,

the first person's come through and said, I'm not with Dan. It isn't a documentary. It was the ship of dreams, and it was. Apologies of things start getting hectic again because I think we're picking the scab on an old wound from yesterday. While we were listening to Shabuzzi, we just started fighting again. Yeah, okay.

Couldn't punch me. Got a black eye now. I feel like it. It's blood everywhere. Yeah, yeah. Knocked me out, but I'm back up. You may have missed an admission from Dan that for 25 years

he thought something that we thought nobody else was dumb enough to think about the movie Titanic. I thought for many, many years that the old lady was legit on the Titanic and she was Rose in real life. You know how it sort of crosses back between documentary and... No part of this film is a documentary. It's people acting. Why would you think that

one of the people in the movie was really on the Titanic? Because it was filmed in a documentary. style. And so when she turns up in the helicopter and stuff, I was like, oh my God, this is fantastic. They brought her in for the movie. She knows the story. Wouldn't you have done the maths and be like the Titanic sank in 1912? The movie came out in 97. So that's 85 years ago.

So if she was 20... She'd be 110. I didn't do the math. She said she could still smell the fresh paint. The China had never been used. She knew. She's an actor. She's an actor. Yeah, and Rose said that Leonardo couldn't fit on the door, but he could. She knew! And the thing is you guys were lambasting me, you're going, you idiot, you thicker.

I thought there's no way in hell and one single other person in this fine nation agreed with you. But hundreds of people have come out of the woodwork. Which again doesn't make you smarter, it makes them as dumb. Even just someone's just text through just now going, I thought this too, Dan. I stand with you. My mind is blown apart. Let me just read just a selection of some more feedback. I stand with Dan.

I thought this too. To be honest, I actually thought this. I also thought the same. This person said, I've never been brave enough to share the sad personal truth, but I feel seen now. But then you've got people, other people saying things like, I cannot comprehend anyone thinking this. My own friends in Australia texting me like words I can't even repeat on the radio

about you missing brain cells. And here's the thing, now I know, because it was three years ago that the truth was brought to my attention. And now I can see how people, girl, what an idiot. But I guarantee you, you watch that movie thinking that she's real and it's the best movie of all time. Yeah, but unfortunately it's not true now.

No one, yeah, it does ruin it. No wonder you'd love the film so much because that would be incredible that they found someone who was on such a disastrous historic event and then can also act incredibly well to tell the story. And you'd think all this like fighting and, you know, discussions that have really torn this team apart over Titanic. surely, you know, it's just a one-off. Surely there's not another contentious part of the film

that could, as a B-round, calls our team to come to blows almost. No. And that was just the tip of the iceberg. After the show yesterday, we started talking about the fact that Dan doesn't think the old lady dies at the end.

And you'll hear our boss, AB, completely on the other side. I thought they better start punching on so I pulled out my phone and produced it and Bella pulled out our phones to film them what I thought was maybe going to need evidence that we need it in court later. That's her going down to the ship with all the dead people.

I am 100% on that. That is, she is dead. She's dead. That's just the curtain call of all the actors. No, I'm going to fucking curtain call. It is all the dead people. She says, I'm going to die old and warm in my bed. She's a cold on a boat.

There's no proof that she's dead. I reckon if you Google it, it is suggested she's dead. It is intentionally ambiguous where the Rose dies at the end. The final scene, which is reunited with Jack, can be interpreted. But some people say, it's the curtain call. I've never been this right, which is kind of sad. Yeah.

Like, being like an ambiguous thing. So it could be. interpret. Here's my argument. I think it's intentionally made so it could go either way. You may make up your own interpretation about whether she's died or not. It is so obvious that she lets go of the heart of, I better say the heart of Tefeiti, but that's Moana. She lets go of the sapphire. Come on, Ash, you're not doing our case wonders. And now that it's done and the heart is back to the Titanic, she can let go. She's lying in bed. She's dead. She's not even breathing.

We zoomed on it. It shows photos of her, like living her life because her life is now over. And and then she goes back onto the Titanic because she's crossed over and she meets Jack at the top of the stairs and then the light. And she's young again. No, it's just a dream. I'll wait under the edge. If the old lady dead at the end of the Titanic,

the obvious answer is yes, or you can side with Dan if you're an idiot. And say no. I wonder if radio shows did this debate 27 years ago, how long it was. OMFG, seriously. People who believed it was real life scenario reenacted are rather too stupid to be allowed to leave or just thick.

Well, this person's commenting on a daily mail page, though, I think they're the stupid one. And then Chewy Chips Ahoy said, so he's an idiot, that's all you had to say. No long article necessary. Chewy chips a hoy. How about this one? Good point. From Ms. Anon, these people walk amongst us. They vote, have children, drive cars and operate heavy machinery.

How is this so? FFS, which means for FSA. I don't operate heavy machinery. Thank God. Very light. Remote control cars. Dan doesn't even turn his own mic on. I do that.

That's too heavy for me. And then there's other comments that it's just like, in general, they're angry at the whole concept of the Titanic film. Fred the Shed from Leicester says a good film spoiled by a rubbish love story. Oh, for goodness. He's never had sex. That man has never had a woman touch his penis or a man. Can I say that? 726. I'm good.

Oh, you said it already. And then someone else also this, it's just grown into this large anger with the film. JTCW, Sydney, Australia. The real tragedy of the movie's poor Rose's husband gave her an amazing life. They weren't married yet. Yet she never liked him that much and always had a thing for Jack. Alpha widowed on the cargo deck. What does that mean?

I don't know. Sometimes you just can't read too much into these comments. They're saying the husband was widowed. Oh, right. Then I see another comment down further saying face for radio. They haven't specified who they're talking about. Clinton Randall, Auckland, New Zealand. At least think of a face.

name bro, come on. Do you know, Dan was still sassing me out over the weekend with his mum and I got this message from Dan with his mum in the background. Mum, did you think that that lady in the Titanic, the old Rose, was real? Unfortunately, yes, I did, Daniel. So she is the same as me. And there are hundreds of other people that thought she was a legit person. It went on and on for a while and I went back.

It's important to note that Dan, myself and Meg, we'll talk quite aggressively to each other because we know we're always at the heart of it joking. Clint talks about. Yeah, yeah. And so listening to this back, it was maybe a little harsher

that I remember when I was shouting in my phone on my way home. Dan, that's really more of an insight into like the Weeby household. And now maybe understandably that's where you got it from because your mum's not pulling you up on these like things.

It doesn't matter if you find 5,000 people that all had the same stupid thought as you. It's your, you're saying is there are more stupid people out there like you. Listen to her, just yelling down the phone at my dear old mother.

Then I, then, oh, your dear old mother. She's in her 70s, Clint. Sent this back to me. Clint, just calm the fuck down, okay? Now, do you want to send that do you? Yes, please. Okay, so you just press that button.

I love it so much. Yeah, so. Can we put it to bed now? Are we ready to move on from the whole Titanic? I was ready until this guy brought it up, Ash. It was a daily mail fault for reposting it. And then I feel now we can just... My mum might have beef with your mum.

Oh, I'd have a bit of mum beef. Yeah, delicious. Yeah, if my mum's listening this morning and she just heard the way her son was spoken to by your mum, there could be problems. That's one thing that I think we'd get the shits-up my mum. If your mum called my mum and was like, stop bullying my boy.

Hey, it doesn't seem like the type of thing our show wouldn't do. What's your mom doing right now? Clint, Meg and Dan. Now this bit we're about to do next. I honestly think we're only doing it because our producer Carl came up with a funny intro. Oh, look at his nose growing. And then tried to reverse engineer it

and work out what the game could be based off his little gag. See what I mean. If it's one thing that our Clint loves, A-N-A-L, O-G-I-E. Analogies. See what I mean? I don't have an AI to do that one. He just had a funny rude gag and was like,

how does the analogies game work so I can get that gag up at the front? Clint is a self-confessed analogy writer. He's a bit like Confucius in a way. He comes up with stuff. Confucius, yeah. I think it's because I'm trying to liken one situation to another situation

that might be easier to understand. So people go, oh, yeah, you're right. I don't know why I do it. You did it just a couple of days ago when you were comparing AI music. to real music. The difference between real music and fake music is like going on a roller coaster and going on a motion master.

It feels the same, it kind of looks the same, but you know when you look at the floor and the floor's not moving, you ain't on a roller coaster. That's a good one. That was a good one, and that was one of your better ones. It really was. Because there have been some crap ones. Yeah, yeah.

Dan's pitch something very different to me that we've never done before. Normally, you know at what point we're going to bring the music back up and try and hit the spot. Dan's talking about maybe having two moments in those songs. So the first one, if we haven't hit it, we get ourselves back on track. It's almost like if you're running a 400 metre race, it's like we get to the 200 metre mark,

realise we're too slow, and we've got to pick up the pace for the last 200. That was quite convoluted that one. That was quite a long one. That was more of confus than computious. Very funny from you, Daniel. Not funny, I have to make a laugh, though. Yeah, but sometimes.

She's putting on like some eyebrow liners. I can't do two things or ones. I'm in the break. Sometimes things are past a funniness level that you, like, in my belief. Yeah, you'll be watching a movie and something so funny that you don't even laugh. You're just like, that's hilarious. Are you doing an analogy there or are you just talking? No, I'm just saying.

That's not an analogy. What about this one? I've had to go. And it's just, it's carnage. It's just people that can't ski. And kids are learning ski all together. Come on. And he's just, it's like, temper and bowling with humans.

Again, one of his weaker one. You do see that, though, where one person will just collect like seven or eight kids, you know, and everyone takes each other out. That's probably what I was meaning, man. It's like temp and bowling. Yeah, yeah. Have you got others? How many more times do we need to practice?

Or is it kind of like, you know, read your last minute study notes before you walk into the exam? And then that's the only thing you remember, the last thing you looked at. You do this all the time. I know, I need to stop. Is it annoying? You go, it's kind of like, and then stop. And then you do it. And then you just pause.

because my brain's going, wait, what is that like? Like if someone needs to persist with something, I think I remember saying it's kind of like Yellowstone. You know, it was a bit slow, but you persist with it and it's incredible, one of the best shows you'll ever watch. There's a fine line I feel fine with you doing it. It's a fine line between having an analogy and mansplaining something. Sometimes I think you get into the realm of mansplaining.

Although if you're a man, Dan, you know, that nothing, it can't be mansplained to you. because you're a man. I'm a man. One of the manliest. You always said that. If you say you're mansplaining that to me, then you're implying that you're not a man.

Exactly. I think it's a product of becoming a dad. Because kids ask you questions, you go, well, it's kind of like, and then you try and put it in an easier situation to understand. So you treat us like your children. Am I explaining how the analogy thing works by giving another analogy?

Yes, you are. We understand. Yeah, we know why people do analogies. We know why people do analogies. It's the start of time. I'm still annoying. You can check yourself. Okay, maybe we have a bell, and every time I do analogy, you hit the bell.

Oh, that's a good idea. It'll be an audio thing that I'll start realizing I'm doing it, and I'll be able to stop it. But is that, you know, hurting anyone? Yeah. A bell is kind of like, I guess, a ringtone, but it's manual. Yeah. Is that kind of what you'd say? Yeah, yeah.

I'm not as good as you. I know, that was good. If you were McCauley Colkin and your kids were watching Home Alone, would you go, by the way, does that kid look familiar, guys? It's kind of like when I'm watching a movie and Megan Fox comes on and I go, does she look familiar? Everyone goes...

Now that is funny. Clint Megan Dan. It really dropped the ball this week and forgot to put my four-year-old in costume for a kindy book literacy day and I just thought of him feeling left out and looking around at all the other kids in costume and him not made me feel like I just absolutely failed as a mother.

Yeah. And you did it. You were such a caring, mum. Such an incredible mum. And I think there's a lot of people texting through that have done worse, much, much worse. I guess if you've got a 10-year-old kid, you've got 10 years to drop the ball you're bound to once or twice. Rochelle, you've dropped it quite badly. Hi, yes, I have dropped it really badly.

This call will be recording. Sorry. She's just recording it for legal purposes. Hey, you're recording us, we're recording you too, always, Ash, just so you know. You'll end up on the podcast later. Yeah, yeah, exactly. No, no, I was on a hurry one morning and forgot that I was on cake duty at work, so I quickly worked to the supermarket,

driving a vehicle that I don't usually drive, and it was a manual. And I pulled into the car park and said to the kids, who were about two and six at that time, just wait here. I'll just be really quick. When I came back, my car wasn't there because I didn't put the handbrake on. Shut up. And they had rolled across to the other side of the car park and stopped on the back of this van.

Oh. No damage was done, but no other cars could get out of the freaking car park until I got back. Oh, my gosh. Were the kids traumatized, or did they not really know? The two-year-old had no idea. And my elder son just said that he didn't know how to stop it, and he was just waiting to me to get back, but we're in everyone's way. Oh, dear.

that is well you're not the only one so many more texts coming through my mom picked me up from daycare once but left my baby like newborn baby sister behind no oh my gosh what about my son had a burst appendix and i thought he was faking it for three days yeah my mom did that too for two years and a broken arm like hardened up you're going to school she thought i was faking yeah that's the worst it's just so many single mom christmas one year i got them bikes and i was so excited to see their faces when dad and i went to build them christmas eve we found out we didn't have the right to tools. Oh, gosh. I only had enough wrap to wrap the front of each box. And I just came into them in parts, so we had to build it later. Oh, no, Christmas ruined. Kids in tears, and you're like, I got you a bike. You can't ride it now.

My friend, my friend painted her kids up orange's full umpillumper's, like, orange faces and dropped him up at school on the wrong day. That's great. Hey, um, guys, there's two places things live forever. One is on the internet, and two is in my spreadsheet. that I keep of all the dumb shit you guys say. Clint, we have found audio of something a little bit incriminating

of you as a parent. Oh, yeah, this was... I left my wallet in my wife's car and I already planned... Oh, is this the time you broke open your child's piggy bank so you could go drinking? I needed money, and I didn't have any and I knew the kids do.

And I was replace it. And you gave them the money to anyway. Exactly, it was my money. They were just holding onto in their piggy banks. We're going to a brewery and I don't have anyone to babysit, so they're coming with me, but I also don't have my wallet. How much money have you got in there, babe?

I got lots of money. How much is that? Have you got any notes? Oh, no. Because beer might cost more than that. I just remember just having so many coins. I get to the brewery and I'm just like counting them out. 410, 420, 440, 460, for...

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 OnlyFans. Kasselis.
