Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. The Edge Breakfast 2025. New year, new hit. And bouncing off the Sky Tower, new transmitter. Oh, well, it's a bit of a shitter. Give it a kick, Daryl. It's alive! It's alive! Alive!
Starting point is 00:00:31 This is The Edge Breakfast with Clint, Meg and Dan. Good morning. It's one to six. Welcome to the show, Friday Eve. Who's the grumpiest? Oh, now Dan's been grumpy this morning. I got a ride in with him I thought I was
Starting point is 00:00:47 quite chipper in that ride in and Megan and I called an Uber we had a good chat I was very chipper as soon as you came in you were like
Starting point is 00:00:54 where's my laptop yeah well someone's taken my laptop the diva breakfast announcer comes in I'm like I need my laptop and my coffee gone are the days
Starting point is 00:01:02 that Dan used to be a producer and he'd just happy go lucky yeah sweet ass no I was still a prick even then actually I Topping my coffee. Gone are the days that Dan used to be a producer and he'd just happy-go-lucky. Yeah, sweet as. No, I was still a prick even then. Actually, I'll tell you something, what happened in the Uber,
Starting point is 00:01:12 coming up next in Coffee Catch-Up, if you like, Clint. Okay. In fact, we're lucky Clint's even here, Meg. He's just spent about 10 minutes on the toilet because he's got quote-unquote crook guts. And I'm sharing a room with him. I'm sharing a room with him in Christchurch for Electric Ave.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Which I'm thankful for, Dan, because, yeah, we leave for Christchurch midday today. Just knowing I've got someone in the room with me just to help me and, like,
Starting point is 00:01:35 bear my beck and call. How do I help you when you've got a crook gut? I don't know. Whatever I need, you'll be right there to help. Toilet paper. A wet flannel on my forehead.
Starting point is 00:01:44 I don't know how it might transpire. I hope it's the same hotel as when we shared and you guys could look at each other with the glass toilet. Oh, so that one. No, I wish. Oh, yeah. We stayed in like a honeymoon suite or something. It was literally a glass wall between the bedroom and the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Even when I'm on a honeymoon, I don't want to see my wife crap. Yeah. It's a really odd decision. Throwing the illusion straight out the gate. You're probably in the majority there, I'd imagine. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. Me and Dan live quite close to each other. I think you are going to move.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Makes me very sad. But in the meantime, we can share Ubers when we need to. Dan picked me up. He's further out, so he gets the Uber and comes around to my house. Was lovely. Actually met me down the driveway and took my bag. I am pregnant, if you don't know,
Starting point is 00:02:31 and it's quite a big bag. Sounding very gentlemanly so far, isn't it? It's good, it's good. I was like, this is really nice. To be fair, he didn't say, give me your bag. I said, can you hold my bag?
Starting point is 00:02:41 And I went, okay. And I was like, well, why are you here? I don't know why you'd meet me down the driveway if you're not going to take my bag. I said, can you hold my bag? And I went, oh, okay. And I was like, well, why are you here? I don't know why you'd meet me down the driveway if you're not going to take my bag. It's like very odd. Anyway, I get to the door. We put my bag in the boot. I get to the door and he goes, no, that's my seat.
Starting point is 00:02:54 And I was like, all good. And I thought, oh. Oh, behind the driver? Yeah, there's always the most room. They slide their seat for all. Oh, that's the thing. He said, oh, it's just about foot space. And I was like, oh, that's lovely.
Starting point is 00:03:04 He's given the pregnant lady the most space. Nope, I opened my door, and there was about an inch gap for my legs to fit in and my big baby belly. And Dan had the passenger seat where the seat had literally been moved so far forward, nobody could sit in the front. They call it leg room, not belly room. Sorry, you're the passenger side. Because if no one sits in the front,, generally, with an Uber, they just
Starting point is 00:03:26 ramp it as far forward into the dash as possible. Yeah, that's exactly what happened. So Dan was in premium economy. I was stretched out. And I'll tell you what, Meg's belly had plenty of room. It was her legs that didn't have much. My legs, I had to, like, share his room. I had to turn sideways at the car. So the gentleman, like, what happened?
Starting point is 00:03:42 So you switched the gentleman switch up at about 30 seconds. Well, he didn't take my bag, to be fair. Yeah, and I don't know much about the human body, but I don't think the legs have much to do with the pregnancy, if I'm honest. Why would you get it over me? Oh, I got in the Uber first, first of all. So that's like shotgun rule
Starting point is 00:03:58 that gets the best seat. Second of all, I didn't realise that you needed leg room. I just can't believe, I just, I would have thought, Clint, him saying that. Over 60? Over 60 and pregnant, I think, take priority. Well, it's like a general rule that you stand up for the pregnant woman. It's like the cool thing that we get normally is car parks
Starting point is 00:04:18 and people stand up for you on public transport. There's even a show on Netflix with Amy Schumer where I think she's pretending to be pregnant because everyone is treating her better than she's ever been treated before. Not with Dan.
Starting point is 00:04:30 She hasn't met Dan, obviously. I think pregnant women should be treated equal, Clint. Thank you. I can't believe how quick he was to say it to the point that I thought, oh, he's giving me the better seat.
Starting point is 00:04:41 He's like, don't sit there, man. How many seconds did that last for? Oh, by the time I walked around to the other door and I noticed, I had just squished it sideways. I went, psych. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. It's very competitive. We ask you a question.
Starting point is 00:05:01 We try to assume your answer and see who can get closest to your actual answer and what it would be. And whoever wins gets a point and we mark it on the wall. It's currently four all, isn't it? Well, to me and Meg, yeah. No, because Carl's still forgotten to put my point on there from yesterday. Oh, okay. It looks like I'm trailing behind on three. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:24 That is sad for you. I know. That's going to wind you up even more. Don't need that energy this morning, Clinton. I know. We've got Ella who is playing along. Hi, Ella. Ella is a media marketing volleyballist.
Starting point is 00:05:34 What? A volleyballist? I don't think that's right. You don't market volleyball as a sport or you work in media marketing and you play volleyball? I work in media marketing with volleyball. Okay. Oh,
Starting point is 00:05:46 so that's right. Yeah. And is a volleyball player called a volleyballist out of interest? A volleyballer. Dan, remember our radio coach said,
Starting point is 00:05:56 when you say something, think, now did that add anything to the conversation? Yes. Didn't, did it? I don't think so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Meg said it. She's currently driving from Auckland to Whakatane for beach tour, which I'm guessing has something to do with volleyball? Yeah, so we've,
Starting point is 00:06:14 by the way, we're on Whakatane to Auckland, so we've got our national beach tour on at the moment and we've got a few of our international athletes
Starting point is 00:06:20 who have arrived early, so going up to welcome them on. Okay. My question for Ella is to do with her job this morning then, boys. Okay. Ella, I'm going to ask you a question. You have to think about your answer.
Starting point is 00:06:31 We'll see how close we get to answering it for you. How far a distance has Ella travelled with her job as a media marketing volleyballer? You know, so has she gone overseas? And if she has, how far has she gone? Are we talking just one trip or in total like? No, just the place,
Starting point is 00:06:48 I guess the furthest place that she's gone. we're going to work out how many K's she's done in her career. How many air points she's got. Yeah, I don't know if she'll even know.
Starting point is 00:06:56 I'm going to say that she has travelled, I think it's going to be pretty far, I'm going to say Japan. Japan for volleyball. Japan? I know that seems a bit random but sometimes they have random places
Starting point is 00:07:04 for like championships and stuff. Japan might be big on volleyball. Yeah, okay, let bit random, but sometimes they have random places for championships and stuff. Japan might be big on volleyball. You can answer this part, Ella. Is Japan known as being quite good in the volleyball world? Oh, huge. Absolutely huge. Very huge. So there is potential, Meg, that Ella could have gone there.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Okay, what do you reckon, Dan? I reckon she's gone to South Africa, another big volleyball nation. Really? Quite often have beaten us in volleyball. Really? So I think she's gone to South Africa, another big volleyball nation. Really? Quite often have beaten us in volleyball. Really? So I think she's gone to South Africa for it, yeah. Wow. Okay, I feel like an easy point is just to say that she's stayed put
Starting point is 00:07:33 and hasn't gone outside New Zealand. But I will go as far as Aussie. Okay. So if she hasn't gone outside of New Zealand with volleyball, I think we all lose. I won't take the win because I'm closer. Okay. I'm going to say Australia.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Like it's still an overseas trip, but it doesn't feel as exotic. So, South Africa, Japan or Aussie, closest answer, Ella? The closest answer, Australia. Oh, he's done it. Oh, wait, but does that mean you haven't left New Zealand? Well, I have left New Zealand, so, yeah. I, yeah, go over to Aussie, but love to do Japan. Haven't quite cracked that yet.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Okay, okay, but you have been to Australia for volleyball things. Yes, Australia for volleyball. Yeah, well done. Clint does win that point. Well done. You've got a cool job, though, just traveling around beaches and stuff and playing volleyball. That would be cool. How good? How've got a cool job, though, just traveling around beaches and stuff and playing volleyball. That would be cool.
Starting point is 00:08:25 How good? How long have you been doing it for, Ella? I've been doing it for over a year now, but yeah, absolutely loving it. Very lucky. Very cool community to work in. Who's the current number one nation for volleyball? Well, we just have to look at the states. They're resourcing that they've got, but we've got a couple of the USA National Men's Team coming over to play in our competition this weekend,
Starting point is 00:08:49 so, yeah, it's awesome. Awesome. Good on you. Well, we appreciate you calling us nice and early this morning. I like to be a stranger. We'll sort you out with a voucher to go spend in Zed. Chill vibes only at Zed with our new Barista Made Chill drinks. It's $6.50, so enjoy. Clint, Meg and Dan
Starting point is 00:09:05 on the edge alright Married at First Sight Australia who's in you should be up to date I suppose with it going Sunday through to Wednesday
Starting point is 00:09:11 we're three weeks in and Meg does a really cool thing maths in a minute with States and three and three now yeah it's just
Starting point is 00:09:19 once a week I kind of wrap it all up within a minute if that yeah that makes sense so that if you have missed any episodes you kind of know like oh wait that's right what if that makes sense, so that if you have missed any episodes, you kind of know, like, oh, wait, that's right,
Starting point is 00:09:26 what are we watching again next week? And this was the big talk of this week. Take a listen. And to be safe, we've got things hot and heavy for our couples, though not everyone seemed to grasp its purpose, with Ryan dropping an intimate bombshell about his bride that we've had to bleep out. I've got to say, like, she gives awesome...
Starting point is 00:09:42 I've just got to say, like, that's... F***ing hell. So this all came to a head at the second dinner party with the other grooms pulling Ryan up on it causing Jackie
Starting point is 00:09:51 to momentarily head out meanwhile Athena shared her doubts about only having a physical connection with Adrian while Sierra
Starting point is 00:09:57 lamented not having one at all with Billy here's to hoping that both the couples find a solution that definitely doesn't involve
Starting point is 00:10:03 any sort of infidelity and that's when they had a little moment where you could see them playing footsies under the table. What's she saying about she's giving an amazing what? Muffins. Yeah. That's a good muffin, does she? Blueberry.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Blueberry muffin, yeah. So I am actually up to date with the exception of last night's episode, so I'm not sure what her reaction was, but I feel like he thought it was quite a compliment. Like telling the boys, she's really good at that. Don't think you talk about that with the lad. Like you should not.
Starting point is 00:10:29 If rumours started going around that you were good at a specific thing, like an intimate bedroom type thing. It is funny because like, if it was, it's a weird thing because it is like really like demeaning. You just feel like, especially, the problem was, it wasn't just like, she's amazing, she's so intelligent and funny, and she makes good muffins, right? And even if, and I'm talking if this wasn't on television,
Starting point is 00:10:52 I think it's gross because family are watching and stuff. But if that was just through guys, just my husband, guy has just met me, he's talking to his friends, he's like, wow, I've met this amazing girl. She's funny and smart and cool. She also happens to make good muffins. Great muffins, yeah. And maybe I could get past that,
Starting point is 00:11:08 but he gave an insult and then that. It was like, she has crazy eyes, but she makes good muffins. And that was where I found it really demeaning. I find it. I mean, it is altogether, but do you know what I mean? If you're placing it of like,
Starting point is 00:11:21 wow, this was the perfect woman, and they have a little bit of that. And I get the TV aspect as well because you're right, sharing it with three of your close mates and even though it feels a bit locker chat and whatever, there is a difference between that
Starting point is 00:11:34 and you do have to be on your best behaviour, I think, when you realise that everyone in the whole country is watching it. It's really locker room chat, I think, when you're insulting and then saying something sexual
Starting point is 00:11:43 because I can't deny that if I'm with three of my girlfriends, right, privately, and I'm dating a new person, and I'm like, he's great, he's amazing, and we have really good sex. That, to me, is, I think you'd find it, I mean, maybe I've just got an open group
Starting point is 00:12:00 of girlfriends, but I think you find it hard for people to not admit that if they're chatting to their best friends quietly, they might bring that up and be like, wow, it's all great, everything's great. But he didn you find it hard for people to not admit that if they're chatting to their best friends quietly, they might bring that up and be like, wow, it's all great. Everything's great. But he didn't do that. He demeaned her by insulting her and did it on telly. Yeah, I think it's different to say we have really good sex and then
Starting point is 00:12:16 she gives really good. Yeah, I agree. That's demeaning to me. I'm still giving far too much, I think, leeway there for him. I don't know who's more delusional. Him or her, though. Because she's so, like, some of the stuff that comes out of her mouth, and then I'm like, oh, she's more delusional. And then she'll be like, I just want you to say
Starting point is 00:12:33 that I'm the most beautiful woman in the world. And he goes, well, that would be a lie. Isn't that awful? Well, now you're more, like, delusional or crazy or just, because I'm like, which one of you is more, what's the word? Delusional's not even right, but like fake. It's almost like you're not a real person. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Because normal people don't behave and act like. Don't be like that. Let's be honest. They're all on a reality TV dating show. They're all crazy as hell. Also, Lisa said come to a head at the dinner party. Nice one, Meg. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Did you do that on purpose? Oh, that was. Because that was very smart of you. Yeah. Yeah. You got that. Yeah. Well done.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Nothing to do with muffins there. Yeah, no. No, no. I do like a blueberry one, though. He's definitely painting between the lines. Yeah, it's one of those things that I was like, oh, I'm not going to get into because it's a big commitment, but I'm very much locked in now.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Now he's hooked. Yeah. Now it's now. And again, what I can tell you is that it only gets better. Yeah. I keep seeing videos online, because obviously Australia, frustratingly, is a week in front of us, of all these extra people that are now on the show.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Then I'm like, wait, who the hell is she and who's he? There are new weddings to come, yep. Wow, because everyone is bailing and leaving the experiment when contractually I think they're not allowed to. What are you going to do? Make someone stay in these day and age with mental health? I don't think you can actually do that as a TV show. Some people do come back with new...
Starting point is 00:13:47 Oh, I bet they do. ...grooms or brides. Oh, I bet they do. Clint, Meg and Dan on the Edge. Daughter was pretty upset when I picked her up from school yesterday. Yeah, she said she didn't have the best day. I said, oh, what's going on? She goes...
Starting point is 00:14:02 Because people at school Googled what my name meant. And in that moment, I was like, damn it. I never did that when I named my daughter Cameron. What does Cameron mean? Okay, I'm looking it up now. Ooh. Yeah. I know. And now all my friends are calling her it at school.
Starting point is 00:14:20 What does it mean? Oh, it's worse than you think, Dan. Whatever you think it is, it's not great. So Cameron, it's original origin, think, Dan. Whatever you think it is, it's not great. So Cameron, its original origin, sorry, is Scottish. And the meaning, because I think other names are like brave woman. I know. Or like beautiful flower. Yeah, because Cameron can be a boy's name too, can't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Okay, the Scottish name means crooked nose. Oh, who put that meaning behind the name? What's the word? I guess that's what it translates to. So I laughed because I was like, oh, it's kind of funny. It's not the worst thing ever, but it's not great. And then I just saw her eyes get all glassy, and then the little tears start running down the cheeks,
Starting point is 00:15:04 and I'm like, oh, okay, I've tears start running down the cheeks and I'm like, oh, okay, I've reacted wrong in this moment. And I'm like, babe, that's fine. I was like, well, why don't we
Starting point is 00:15:09 Google their names and find out what their names mean. Let's fight fire with fire. Not a great thing for a dad to do, by the way. She goes,
Starting point is 00:15:15 no, we did. And theirs all meant like warrior and stuff. Yeah, yeah, a lot of names. Because I, obviously, again, am looking up names
Starting point is 00:15:20 at the moment a lot and lots of them seem to be warrior, brave or, but look, you could do this Clint I also looked up what does the name Cameron mean in personality and it means spontaneity, creativity, exuberance
Starting point is 00:15:32 you appreciate people make friends easily and look for the best in others you're optimist and kindness and kindness are infectious and you strive to make others happy. I tried to find that when I was in the car. Thank you because I just kept looking up and everyone was like crooked nose crooked nose crooked nose it's just like everyone just keeps calling me crooked noise and that sounds just like your daughter and i said right well let's
Starting point is 00:15:52 find out what ties mean like my son he's eight and his name's ty that's his full name right it's not short short for tyson or anything it's not just ty he's oneY. He's one of the first to spell his name in his class. I thought he might be the first, but he might. I looked it up. No, no. His means Tyler of roofs. Oh, yeah. That's crooked nose and Tyler of roofs.
Starting point is 00:16:20 So one's a roof Tyler and the other's got a crooked nose. So I really didn't look up the meaning. So they were both pretty bummed out by the time we'd left. I just looked up Megan. I looked up Dan. Interesting. What is mine? No, you go first.
Starting point is 00:16:29 What does Dan mean? God is my judge. Exactly. Yes, very biblical name, mine. Mine's still pretty crap. Mine means town on a hill. And Megan, I don't know if this is the original meaning, but it just says here,
Starting point is 00:16:43 Megan dash smelly pirate hooker. Oh, shut up, Dan. You dumb, dumb, stupid man. Way worse than crooked nose, you smelly pirate hooker. Oh, shut up, Dan. You dumb dumb stupid man. Oh, that's way worse than crooked nose. It's smelly pirate crooked nose. Make you feel better. Is Megan a smelly pirate hooker majority of the time? No. No. No. Sometimes
Starting point is 00:16:57 maybe. If you have no idea what the meaning of your name is, you want us to look it up for you? Flickr's text will give us a call. It means Pearl. Yeah, but then the next line, smelly pirate hooker. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge.
Starting point is 00:17:11 But if you loved a name and you guys were, oh my God, we're assessing the name and you looked up and had a really crap meaning, you wouldn't change it, would you?
Starting point is 00:17:18 Probably. Would you? Oh, maybe. I would be worried, especially after this experience of my young twe, you know, young tween daughter or son probably finding out and then just getting bullied for it for no reason. Yeah, I'm hoping the crooked nose thing doesn't last much longer than this week.
Starting point is 00:17:37 There's always something you can find to bully someone about. Exactly. All right, so I've got some names here that are kind of some of the worst names. They're great names, they're beautiful names, but the meanings of them you may not know. You can text her as well your name and we can see if we can do a quick Google and find out. Okay, so if you know
Starting point is 00:17:48 one called Cecily, that means blind. So Cornelia means horn. Courtney means short nose. Deirdre, sorrowful. Would you rather have a short nose or a crooked one? Emilia, rival.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Kennedy. This is a bad one. Anyone know a Kennedy? Like a Ken? Yeah, like, yeah, Kennedy, there was a... Misshapen head. Ooh. This is a bad one. Anyone know a Kennedy? Like a Ken? Yeah, like, yeah, Kennedy. There was a... Miss Shaping Head. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Miss Shaping Head. Lilith is a night monster. Let's get into some boy names. Calvin. Bald. Just means bald. Oh, sad. That's horrible.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Bald. You would assume a Calvin would be bald. Colin is a young dog. Campbell is a crooked mouth. Claude just means a limper. Somebody that looks funny. Fabian is a bean grower. That's not too bad, I guess.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Bringer of pain and Jabez. Not many people know that. James, if you're a James supplanter. I don't even know what that word means. That's fine. Simon, flat nose. Oh, yeah. Tristan means sad.
Starting point is 00:18:47 So, you know, there's quite a few names out there and I think those are, oh, Rebecca means snare, Rachel means ooh. Oh, no, you, like a sheep. Not ooh. Rachel means a sheep. Some of these names. Yeah, so let's go to Alana. Alana, you
Starting point is 00:19:03 want to know the meaning of your name? Yeah, that would be great to know. I think Dan's doing them in the background. I just hit a Google, Alana. Oh, no, Alana already knows what it means. She's caught up to brag. No, Alana, I've just done a quick Google. It just says woman with smelly armpit.
Starting point is 00:19:17 No, it doesn't. I feel like you're talking crap. Yeah, that's what he does a lot. Alana, precious, peaceful, and attractive. Oh, yes, that's does a lot. Precious, peaceful, and attractive. Oh, yes, that's the second line. Oh, accurate. So accurate. With a slightly smelly armpit.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Yeah. In Hawaiian, it means offering. Very nice. Yeah. That's actually a beautiful meaning. Yeah. So it felt like a bit of a humble brag there from you, Alana. Yeah, good on you.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Texting through. Someone else has asked if they could Google Kimberley. Kimberley? Let's have a look. You go and look that up. Tasha as well as Texan, a brave woman. Oh, that's nice. Kimberley, slightly cross-eyed.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Right. I don't think that's actually... Nathan Texan, gift of God. Oh, bro, is there a better meaning? You're a gift from God? I wonder if he uses that as a pick-up line in bars. Nathan. Everly is a wild boar.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. Yesterday we were talking about family bombshells after a guy's going viral online at the moment for questioning whether his adult children, they look like they must be in their 30s, are actually his or not
Starting point is 00:20:26 because he said that they aren't as attractive as he is and he's always doubted it and he did a paternity test and it turns out they weren't his. The thing is, he's not war painting himself. He's quite ugly, you know? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm not sure why he's questioning it now,
Starting point is 00:20:40 but it turns out they weren't his the whole time, which is actually pretty soul-destroying for anyone who's thought that their dad was their biological dad. But I would say if that person's raised you for the last 30-odd years, they're now your dad regardless. Anyway, here's some of the family bombshells we got when we threw it out on the air yesterday.
Starting point is 00:20:56 My auntie, she was married and her husband worked overseas so that they could purchase a house, and they did. And then probably about six years ago, I noticed that he didn't show up to the family Christmas. I noticed that my auntie changed her name back to her maiden name. And so I kind of like asked my mum, and she said,
Starting point is 00:21:14 oh, like, did you not know? He's actually gone off and started a new family in Africa. Africa? And he's decided he's not coming back to New Zealand. My auntie was still a bit sore on the subject because she's still legally married in New Zealand. He just hasn't come back. My great-nana passed away about five years ago.
Starting point is 00:21:32 And it turns out that my nana's sister and the oldest son actually worked together growing up for like years and they never knew that they were siblings. We've got so many texts. Didn't manage to get through them all. So Meg's got her top five from yesterday. And number one will join us on the phone to tell us about their family bombshell.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Because every family has its secrets and its skeletons. I love hearing a scandal. All right, number five. There wasn't too much to this one. We tried to get them on, but my grandma married two brothers. Oh, so it was not together, but maybe she split up with one,
Starting point is 00:22:05 and then she got with the other brother. That would have been a bit of a bombshell, really. Which is crazy, because then all of a sudden your uncle becomes your stepdad. Confusing, isn't it? I found out I had two sisters. One of them was somebody who had a sex change to a woman and found out that my half-sister was actually my full sister. So there's a lot going on there.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Oh, that is, yeah. That's a lot to unpack. We found out that my mum's cousin was actually a half-brother, and then we found out a few days later that she had another half-brother that lived in Australia. So all of a sudden, we had two extra half-uncles that we never knew about, and weirdly, they were both called the same name. You lost me.
Starting point is 00:22:37 You lost me. It's all right, Dad. It's when you start going, like, half-brother, you know, it's just, yeah. All right, number two was my granddad was found dead in bed at the rental. Sorry, at his rental. So my granddad was found dead in his bed at the rental by the gardener. But we didn't have a gardener that did any garden. So I don't know if.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Oh, ghost. No, I think he was probably like having an affair. Something. And then his like side piece ended up being like. And told the police. Found him. Yeah, or the ambulance. Yeah. And they were like, the gardener found him. They're like, we, side piece ended up being like... And told the police. Found him. Yeah, or the ambulance. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:06 And they were like, the gardener found him. They're like, we don't have a gardener. Who was it? Yeah. Don't know if that answer... Boy, he just got his blood pressure up too high, maybe. Maybe. And we've got Anonymous with the voice disguiser for number one.
Starting point is 00:23:19 All right. Anonymous, what was the family bombshell that you found out late in life? Well, it was everyone else that found out because I was the bombshell. I had just had a baby and then my dad, who I'd never met in my life, just walked into the hospital. And then I found out that he, after that, he went and told everyone else about me. And, oh gosh.
Starting point is 00:23:53 No, that's too complicated. Let's start again. My dad has, what, like four kids? Yeah. I'm probably the third. Right. No, that's really complicated. I don't even know. Oh. No, that's really
Starting point is 00:24:05 complicated. I don't even know. Oh my God, you weren't even trying to figure it out. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:24:09 No one knows. It's confusing for even you. No one knows who you are and no one will be able to recognize
Starting point is 00:24:16 your voice. Well, they found out about me when I turned, what, 25. Wow. and i found out that i have a brother on his side who is two weeks older than me two weeks i was a bombshell so they oh my god my mom was told my mom was told
Starting point is 00:24:42 that um you know he had he wasn't with them anymore. He even took them around to meet his parents. Wow. So you were the, like, in theory, I don't like the word, but in theory, the bastard child to your biological dad, but you have a half-brother that's older than you and your mum was unknowingly the other woman. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:25:02 And you didn't find out until you realised that your husband is your brother. Oh, God. That's so confusing. I can understand why you're confused. Okay. No, I'm not too sure. No, no, no. That's not quite right.
Starting point is 00:25:13 I just added that at the end. Yeah, don't put that one. I think Chris Warner on Shorten Street has had that exact storyline. Yeah. Man. Far out, man. Some families are complicated, eh?
Starting point is 00:25:22 We appreciate you chatting with us. Hey, Jason, Captain Jase from Below Deck joins us on the show next. Man, he's loved, eh, by so many around the world. Very talented skipper. Yeah, we've been in love with him. Yeah, but then also just turns out he's a very great reality TV star as well. He seems to. He's one of those people you're like,
Starting point is 00:25:45 you're very handsome. You're very nice. What's wrong? There's something there. You must have some skeletons. There must be something wrong with him. You can ask him. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Clint, Meg and Dan on The Edge. What's in Dan's Google history? Is it sexy? Is it weird? Will it solve a great big mystery? Or just something new appears? Okay, I've gone through Dan's Google history this week. A few odd ones in there, as per usual.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Looks like something is wrong with his cat, Kimmy. Oh, yeah. Because he has Googled a few times, can cats be bipolar and how to live with bipolar cats? Apparently not. Apparently they don't have, but how do they know? You know, here's the thing. Kimmy, beautiful little fella, he spent a week up a tree.
Starting point is 00:26:28 We didn't know he was there and we found him and we had to squirt him out of the tree with a fire hose. Anyway, I think it has really sort of traumatised the poor little fella and he's just not been the same since. Really? What does he see out there? Sometimes he's really happy and you're like, God, he's having a good day. Then other days, oh my goodness.
Starting point is 00:26:43 He sees a tree and gets PTSD. Yeah, maybe that's it, Clint. Keep him away from parks and you're like, God, he's having a good day. And then other days, oh, my goodness. Sees a tree and gets PTSD. Yeah, maybe that's it, Clint. Right, maybe that's it. Keep him away from parks and forests. Anyway, cats can get depressed, but apparently bipolar's not a thing with cats. You've been having a little dig around. Lint in belly button has been good a few times.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Yeah, because I got into bed the other day and Hannah said it's happened again. And I said... Your wife's just noticing. It's happened again. And I said, what? Annoying, icky things. And she's like, you always... She's like, without fail, you'll get into bed the other day and Hannah said, it's happened again. And I said... Your wife's just noticing these annoying icky things. And she's like, you always... She's like, without fail,
Starting point is 00:27:09 you'll get into bed and there's lint on your belly button. Guys, there'll be guys listening right now that have the same issue. I've got a deep belly button. Clint,
Starting point is 00:27:15 you've got not one here. Didn't you go to the doctor one time because you were worried about how deep your belly button was or something was coming out of it? I thought there was
Starting point is 00:27:21 like no end to it. That's right. There's definitely an end. It doesn't go all the way through. But you can't see it. It's like a well, you know, like one of those wells you can't see the bottom of? It's my belly button. Anyway, there's always something in it.
Starting point is 00:27:32 And it's usually lint. Anyway. Is that because the doctors cut your umbilical cord funny? Like if you've got an innie versus an outie. I've got an innie. Is it all based on when? No, because they'll cut the umbilical cord and still give you about three inches. And then it just falls off, right?
Starting point is 00:27:46 Yeah, that's true. So it doesn't actually, would have nothing to do with how they cut it. No, it's just the way you, the cut of your jib, really, I think. And mine's just quite deep, like Meg's. Yep, mine. How are bills going for you at the moment in the house? Are you stressed? Are you stressed with your bills?
Starting point is 00:28:00 I was a little bit stressed last week. Yeah, when you were on ID overdue payments six times. I've got an overdue payment of $200. I owe the IRD. Anyone listening could just text 333-4343. How long can you leave it before you pay the IRD? That's one company I think you want to pay on the due date. It's just like one of those bills, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:20 whether it be a speeding fine or something like that, where you just have never budgeted for it. You're just like, that's the last thing I want to pay is the freaking IRD. Yeah, it's six times in a row. So you haven't paid it. You just looked around for a bit and then didn't know. No, they haven't sent me one of those texts yet. You know, where they're like, you have to pay it now.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Otherwise, we'll lock you up. And the final thing on what Dan Googled this week. Must have been a slow day. Was Smithers from the Simpsons gay? Yes, he was I thought we all knew that Oh he was absolutely Infatuated with Mr Burns
Starting point is 00:28:53 Yes I think we all Didn't we all Collectively Kind of that was the gag But I think about Sadly closeted To old Smithers Yeah like I think
Starting point is 00:29:01 He secretly had Infatuated with Burnsy So what made you Because I just wondered why Because he's been in The Simpsons for so long And he was quite a gay character What's going on in your world Where all of a sudden you're just driving along
Starting point is 00:29:12 You pull the car over And you get your photo I need to know I wasn't driving I was watching The Simpsons Still? You watch The Simpsons? Disney Plus
Starting point is 00:29:20 What? Yeah, Disney Plus has The Simpsons God, to have Dan's life, hey, how relaxed must it be? What? Because I watch a TV show, Clint. You're watching Maps. What's that, Clint? I just watch cartoons.
Starting point is 00:29:34 We can go back to The Simpsons. I quite like The Simpsons. I remember my mum actually dated somebody once before she met my stepdad and it was all going well and she actually said to me, Megan, I can't do it anymore. And I was like, what? She goes, he told me and he was in his like, I think 50s or 60s that his favourite TV show was The Simpsons.
Starting point is 00:29:49 That's not my favourite TV show. And she was like, I just, that gave her the ick. That's such a weird ick. It is, it is a weird ick but I think it was other things, it was the conclusion of like we are on different pages. There might be something in that for another show maybe, Unique Icks, where you think it's the only, you're the only person that's being icked out by what?
Starting point is 00:30:07 I think the ickiest thing in that Google history was the lint in my belly button, to be honest. I mean, mate, you're just a big... Big walking one. Yeah. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. My son, I was talking to you guys yesterday, he's only eight, and we were having dinner,
Starting point is 00:30:22 and I said, hey, what do you guys want to achieve this year? What's something you'd like to tick off in 2025? Do a New Year's resolutions, and it's nearly March. Share our goals. Never too late, you know, to set a plan. Every day is a new day to making new day plans. Yeah, and that's one of the famous sayings that Meg always says. And he told me he wants to get a tattoo above his belly button,
Starting point is 00:30:44 just below his pecs, so right in the bang smack middle of his chest of like a fist pulling the fingers. And are there any words around that or just the fingers? No, I think he initially said It says enough, doesn't it? It does, yeah. He said it was because if anyone hacks him off
Starting point is 00:30:59 he can just lift up his shirt and I said surely it's faster to just pull the actual fingers. But again, you're not teaching your seven-slash-eight-year-old son to pull the fingers that people are using. No, no, no. Where has he even learned that from, Meg? I'd be asking the question. I don't know why you would be.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Anyway, I recorded him. The audio's a bit crap. It must have recorded through my bloody Bluetooth in the car. When I tried to see whether I could scare him out of it by making him think that it was actually happening, Mum had signed it off, and we're going to book it in and get it done. It was going to go one or two ways.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Do you want to do it this weekend? Yeah, I talked to mum. Can you cut it? Yeah, but it'll be, the middle finger will be on your stomach for life. Yeah. Sure? For the rest of your life. Even if you're like my age, you're still going to have the middle finger
Starting point is 00:31:41 below your belly button. Yeah? How big do you want it? Like hand five? Oh, good luck convincing your mum. All right, Clint, you need to be fired for that. That was atrocious audio. That was recorded on Clint's Nokia 3310.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Oh, my God, that was the worst audio. He goes, actual, and I go, yeah, and then he's like, yeah? So it backfired on me. He now wants to lean in. He definitely wants it. The only person who needs the fingers pulled out is you for recording that audio. Yeah, that was absolutely...
Starting point is 00:32:07 I love that you listened to that back here. Yeah, good enough. That's an insult to our listeners. Yeah, good enough for our national radio show. Just throw that on, have a laugh, move on. Hey, Meg, we want to talk about... No, Clint! We want to talk about tattoo regret,
Starting point is 00:32:21 like young tattoo regret. You regret it because you got it when you were young. You thought it was cool at the time. Now you look back, you're like, God, I was an idiot. Why regret it because you got it when you were young. You thought it was cool at the time. Now you look back and you're like, God, I was an idiot. Why did I want the fingers
Starting point is 00:32:28 tattooed on my stomach? Meg got a tattoo. Everyone knows the story. I don't think they do. I don't think everybody knows. Will you tell the story about your intimate tattoos if someone will admit
Starting point is 00:32:41 that they've only been listening the last couple of weeks and they have no idea about your... If somebody texts in and they say, I truly hand on heart, swear on whoever, have never heard about Meg's tattoos, then yes. But every single person in New Zealand,
Starting point is 00:32:53 maybe overseas now at this point, has... Kristen, don't you call. Hang up right now. I know that you know the story, Kristen. She's calling and I've talked to you before and she absolutely knows the story already. If one person... If one person... Oh, the lines are lighting up. I can see all your names.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Vanessa, Bridget, Tony, Hayden Allen. Absolute crap, Hayden. You know this story inside out like it's your own. So don't try and pull the wool over my eyes. Okay, this person text saying, I only started listening today. Okay. So they don't know. This is great.
Starting point is 00:33:25 How did you know the text number? Did we say it? No, we know. No, we're going to text that first. See, then I... Now they're not going to pick up. You are all lying. You're all trolling me. I can see you, Brooke, Beth, Jess.
Starting point is 00:33:41 So someone else has texted, we listen to you guys all day at work And we've never heard it There's no way Look, this story has been told Four million times over and over Let's go to Bridgetta from Hamilton
Starting point is 00:33:55 Bridgetta, morning Morning First of all, lovely name Yeah, have you genuinely Hand on heart How long have you been listening for do you think? Oh, I'd say only probably the last six months I've been listening to you guys, but I genuinely, hand on heart, do not know anything about it.
Starting point is 00:34:12 About Meg's vagina tattoos. Yeah, oh God, there it is. Okay, here we go. All right, I'll tell Brigitta. I'll tell her. Right, Brigitta, when I was 18... Okay, the music is inappropriate. Good beer, yeah, good audio, good audio. When I was 18, Brigitta, I I was 18... OK, the music is inappropriate. Good beer, yeah, good audio, good audio.
Starting point is 00:34:26 When I was 18, Brigitta, I really wanted to be cool and get some tattoos, OK? I wanted them to be meaningful tattoos because I knew they'd be on my body forever, but I also knew I would get in absolute shit with my mum and dad if they saw a tattoo on my body at 18. What were the tattoos that have interested you? I've never heard of this.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Brigitta, I had previously lost my grandparents and wanted to do a tribute to them. Brigitta's like, why is this important to the vagina tutus? Because they loved vaginas. So, Brigitta, I got a couple of flowers that represented my grandparents and the words, forget me not, and I put it in a place I thought my mum would never see.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Which is... Oh my God. Wait, Bridgetta, you think it's bad? It gets worse. So there's forget me not and flowers as a tribute to her grandparents on her vagina, yes. And then, did you go back another time or while you were there? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Another time, maybe about a year later. On her vagina? Okay, so I need to... time, maybe about a year later. Is the tattoo on your vagina or did you get a tattoo on the vagina? No, it's on my, look, and I need to be more specific because it's not like
Starting point is 00:35:30 when I say vagina, people were thinking inner bits. It's like, so I'm saying if I was to wear a very, very skimpy pair of undies,
Starting point is 00:35:38 you still wouldn't see it. That's what I'm saying. Okay, but Bridgetta, after the tribute, the beautiful, loving tribute to her grandparents, Meg went back to the parlour. Yeah, I got some words my mum, I said,
Starting point is 00:35:48 Mum, what are some inspiring words? And she was watching Coro, Coronation Street. She goes, oh no, risk, learn, listen, inspire. Bloody hell, how much space have you got down there? You've got a bloody essay. It's a novel. Yeah. So, Bridgetta.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Kylie's texting and saying, can we be anatomically correct? Yes, it's not on my vagina. It is on a part of my, it's on an area that you would, if somebody was to see it, they'd be like, that's Meg's.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Do you know how some people get tattoos on like the inside of their like, It's not on the inside. No, no, it's not on the inside. On their lips.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Like, you know how people can like, around near their teeth where you pull your lip down. If I was wearing, if I was facing you, if you really want to know where it is,
Starting point is 00:36:24 if I was facing you and I was wearing a skimpy little pair of undies, you couldn't see it, but if I was wearing if I was facing you if you really want to know where it is if I was facing you and I was wearing a skimpy little pair of undies you couldn't see it but if I pulled the undies down
Starting point is 00:36:29 you could see it alright that's all it is Brigitta you've heard the story now you can go to thank you you're welcome
Starting point is 00:36:36 the problem is it used to say forget me not now it just says forget me not that is true after a couple of pregnancies
Starting point is 00:36:42 it has stretched out and ironically I've never forgotten. Okay, thank you. What a tribute to two vagina-loving grandparents. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. See, I was getting in trouble off here for making Meg tell a story that everyone has heard a hundred times before,
Starting point is 00:36:59 but it turns out, Meg, we might not talk about your vagina tattoos enough. It's done. And again, it's not vagina tattoos. It's crutch. Crutch tattoos. Crutch, yes. They say crutch.
Starting point is 00:37:10 That's a better way to anatomically talk about it. People say, I swear I've never heard it. I listen every morning. I've never heard that story. Wow, I'm a long-term listener. I've heard you allude to the tattoos, but I never knew what they were or where. Does the hair grow down there, Meg, still? Yes, it does
Starting point is 00:37:25 unfortunately, and I've tried to get laser and they turn me away. They can't because it'll attract to the ink of the tattoo. And I think waxing over the years has distorted them. Look, it's a lot. It's a lot down there. Luckily, I'm married. Luckily, my husband and I have a fantastic relationship and a sense of humour. And then if he was ever to
Starting point is 00:37:42 leave me or pass away, I'm just never opening up. Someone else? Sorry, Dan. No, I used to say, forget me not. Now it just says, he'll leave me or pass away, I'm just never opening up. Someone else? Sorry, Dan. No, it used to say, forget me not. Now it just says, he'll get me not. Honestly, I don't think it's illegible. You couldn't read it. Well, other people were wondering as well, if Guy is, like, does he ever fall asleep? You know how some people fall asleep when they're reading a book?
Starting point is 00:37:58 Does he ever down it? Does he ever nod off? And you go, what's happened? You realise, it's a real page turner. This is terrible. Okay, let's give away some cash next. Cash strapped is back, baby. 400 bucks is one at seven. If you need cash,
Starting point is 00:38:12 three, three, four, three, let us know what for. Call us at 0800 The Edge. He just couldn't put it down. Clint, Meg and Dan on The Edge. It's 18 past eight. Clint, Meg and Dan on The Edge. Are we in or not in to this season
Starting point is 00:38:24 of Love is Blind? I haven't watched it. I haven't started it 8, Clint, Meg and Dan on the Edge. Are we in or not in to this season of Love is Blind? I haven't watched it. I haven't started it yet, Clint. I did see, was it just, has it started recently? Like over the weekend, I think I saw that they had new episodes and I thought, oh, I should really get into that. It's my favourite reality show. Yeah. When it comes to overseas matchmaking ones. I always remember the first
Starting point is 00:38:39 season where the runaway bride fell down the bank. Oh my goodness. I have found, I mean, to be fair, Clinta, the latest season's as good as the first ones because I haven't watched the last two. And the first ones were like thrilling to me. They felt so believable and real. And some couples are still together with kids now.
Starting point is 00:38:58 But these more recent ones, I have felt a bit tricked by the show. So I haven't been so into it. I'm watching for the format more than the characters this season I feel. You remember there was that season
Starting point is 00:39:09 and there was this guy and obviously you're getting to know someone if you don't know the premise through a frosted glass wall and you build a connection emotionally and then you propose
Starting point is 00:39:17 and then you meet them for the first time as the doors open you run together in a brace in the red carpet. Yeah and there are these people that
Starting point is 00:39:24 say I love you. Yeah. And you can feel that they mean it because they're bawling their eyes out saying I love you and they've never actually seen the person. Do you think you can tell a lot about a person's looks by the sound of their voice and their personality? Possibly. And I get why this works because I've had friends
Starting point is 00:39:40 that have fallen in love with people over the internet. You know, like not actually having met them face to face but like made bonds through forums and stuff. And I know it's true and it can happen. I know a couple of them. It's a great premise. Even my daughter who's nine, she was watching it like just in the background with me and then she was like, what's going on? And I
Starting point is 00:39:55 really enjoyed telling her about a reality show where people fall for someone based on who they are as a person before ever meeting them. But there are some characters in the past that have been like, I love going to festivals. If I was at a festival, would I be able to put you on my shoulders? Literally, that was like a question asked.
Starting point is 00:40:17 And he goes, I love buying my partner clothes in previous relationships. What sizes would I be buying? I was like, no! And he went through all these awful questions. He's such an idiot. In fairness, though, No, but in fairness, you're wanting to go, questions. He's such an idiot. In fairness, though. Oh. No, but in fairness, you're wanting to go, like, there's a physical attraction. Then don't go on the show.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Yeah. I guess it's not for you. If you are worried about physical attraction being important to you, don't go on the show. Some of them are going on for followers, though, aren't they? Yeah, but that's the thing. It's like you can tell which ones are there going, I just want to meet my person. And which people are very curious about what the person looks like because it is obviously important. I think most people though would, if they hit it off with someone personality
Starting point is 00:40:49 wise and they met them and they're a fugly, you'd be a little bit pissed off. Well, I guess... Oh my God! You would, you would. He was just talking about the lovely messages daughter is getting and you've gone and thrown that out the window. But it's important to have a good personality, I get that. Well, I wanted to bring back the phone we've done before,
Starting point is 00:41:06 Beat That Coincidence, where you call up with an incredible coincidence. Yeah. After a couple were meeting through the glass and she said this and he was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. What did you say? The whole Easter seaboard is going to be aware.
Starting point is 00:41:19 So I'm like, Willie, you, I'll tell you after. What did you just say? His name is Willie. My dad's name is Willie. What? Is it William or just Willie? It's Willie. It's just Willie.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Mine is just Willie. Oh, that's so crazy. Yeah, and it's so crazy because his dad's name was Willie, too. He's a junior. So he's. No, stop. Yes. My dad is a junior.
Starting point is 00:41:40 I hope our dad. It's not the same. No, no, it's not. It's not. Unless your dad's last name is my last name, which I don't think it dad. No, no, it's not. It's not. Unless your dad's last name is my last name, which I don't think it is. No, no, no, no. Willie Pete with the stinky feet. That's funny. You're waiting for a third coincidence
Starting point is 00:41:52 I know that'd be weird. That'd be like related I think. So her dad is Willie and her granddad's Willie and his dad and granddad are both Willie. I'm not impressed, Clint. Are you kidding me? I'm not impressed. So Dan, you go meet your wife. They're the same age.
Starting point is 00:42:07 No. And your wife at the time you were married, her dad and granddad have the exact same name as your dad and granddad. No, it's not impressive. Because if they're the same age, names come in and out of fashion. And if they were both named in the top 20 popular names for that. That's a funny name, Willie. But apart from that, it's not funny name, Willie. But I mean,
Starting point is 00:42:25 apart from that, it's not a coincidence. There'll be somebody else that has a mum called Mary or Philippa or like it's all relative. You meet somebody and you dare dad
Starting point is 00:42:33 and granddad. Your coincidences are too easy to be impressed with. All right, beat that coincidence. If you've got one that's better than that, I'll wait under the edge.
Starting point is 00:42:40 The phones will light up. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. I'm just not impressed. You guys are crazy. What are the chances of not only your dad's having the same name and then your granddad's having the same name? I mean, maybe it's a loose coincidence.
Starting point is 00:42:54 You know, like it's something that's like, oh, that's funny. Why is my mum calling the show? I just saw Christine Randall on line four. Hi, Christine. Hi, how are you? Oh, you're on the treadmill? Yeah. Are you? No, I'm running. Oh, running, okay. You're just normal running, Meg. Hi, how are you? Oh, you're on the treadmill? Are you? No, I'm running.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Oh, running. Okay. You're just normal running, Meg. Yeah. So why are you calling for the coincidence line? Well, Jamie's mum and dad were married on exactly the same day and same year as John and I were married. So my parents and my wife's parents got married on the exact same day
Starting point is 00:43:28 in the exact same year. That's a better coincidence. What, 45 years ago or something, Mum? Yeah. Yeah. That's a much better coincidence. And that's it. There's no, like, names or shit or anything?
Starting point is 00:43:38 No. I think you Randalls need to. Yeah, he's not impressed. I think you Randalls need some better examples of coincidence. I think it's a fantastic coincidence. Thank you, Christine. Enjoy your run. I love Christine.
Starting point is 00:43:49 She's sick. Yeah, it's actually... I can't believe she listens to us on her runs. Yeah, she listens to us all the time. Wow. Okay, let's go to Sharlow. Sharlow, morning. Sharlow?
Starting point is 00:44:02 Sharlow. You there? Sharlow. Hello. Hi. There Shallow. Hello. Hi. There she is. What's your coincidence? Well, getting to know my husband, well, my now husband,
Starting point is 00:44:12 he shares a birthday with my oldest daughter. Right. And our nannies have the same name. And five years later, we have a daughter who shares her birthday with his brother. Now, there's more. There's three there. Oh, yeah, there's three there. There's three birthdays or names in there. That's good, isn't it? It is quite good.
Starting point is 00:44:31 It's much better than they're both called Willie. Yeah. No, I mean, especially when you think about, like, when people have to be born on the same birthday, a lot of things have to line up, Daniel. A lot of things. Also, like, yeah, just birthdates and names. It is just a bit boring to me.
Starting point is 00:44:47 What do you want? I still don't think you know what a coincidence is, which is the issue. I want to know, like, I want to hear an amazing coincidence where it was, like, someone they thought were dead, okay? Then they came back and they finally met them and then... They thought they were dead, but then they finally met them.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Yeah, so, like, say I had a brother. I thought he'd passed away. Okay. Okay? Years later, I'm walking down the street in New York. In New York, one of the busiest cities in the world. Yeah, yeah. And my brother, who I thought was dead, was coming my way. That's not a coincidence.
Starting point is 00:45:18 We were both married to a woman called Janine. Oh, no, no. More coincidental. You're getting there. We got into the same lift. Yeah. We got into the same lift. We'd booked the same hotel. Both our Janines
Starting point is 00:45:31 were friends that were meeting up that had not seen each other in 35 years. Wouldn't they have talked about how they had brothers? They didn't know they had long lost brothers until now in that one meeting in New York City at the same hotel with Janine. And your brother obviously wasn't dead.
Starting point is 00:45:50 No, he was alive. I don't think it's relevant to the story then in a way. It's still a coincidence. Okay, Crystal, let's go one more. Crystal, what is your coincidence? So, hi, guys. My husband and I, we shared, well, when we were dating in Stuller, we share birthdays both sharing it with our dads.
Starting point is 00:46:10 So him and his dad have the same birthday. That's a great question. And me and my dad have the same birthday. Dan, come on, that's a good one. That is good. So, Crystal. It gets crazier or weirder, she said. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:21 It gets weirder. Okay, keep going. So, we've now had two children, and my daughter shares her birthday with me and my dad. And our son shares his birthday with his dad. Shut up! Shut up! This is just a family that likes fornicating the same time of year.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Oh, my gosh, Crystal, that's great. Nothing exciting about that. You must have, like, was the due date the same? Did they come early or late? Nothing planned. My daughter was, like, 10 days, sorry, was a week late. I was, like, 10 days early and my son was 10 days late. You must have been on time, so there's no way it's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:47:03 That's crazy. Well, we need to bring this back. But, Crystal, that is the high watermark at the moment. Well done. Congratulations. That's a bloody good coincidence. I love it. I keep getting better and better.
Starting point is 00:47:12 It's almost as good as Dan's fake dead brother story. That was good, though, wasn't it? Let's get a thought of that on the spot. All right, thanks, Crystal. Next on the show, the T-shirt designs that we've designed for each other to wear during Electric Avenue this weekend. We only know what each other's are, but not what our own are. Yeah, we've got apparently opinions from people around the office of whose they would like to wear and whose they wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Meg's got a slogan on hers that's both true and embarrassing. Yeah. Coincidence. Yeah, and I think it'll really be a conversation starter for you to talk to many strangers over the weekend as well. Yeah. So we won't wait for you because you're going to get held up. Is it going to be weird for my brother to hang out with me on the weekend because he's going to be there?
Starting point is 00:47:52 Yeah, definitely. Coincidence. Clint, Meg and Dan on the Edge. 21 past nine, we are going to be jumping on a plane after lunch today, heading to Christchurch for Electric Avenue. We'll be broadcasting live from Christchurch tomorrow morning. Dan will be doing a live cash strapped at 8am. $2,000 strapped to him.
Starting point is 00:48:09 And double pass to Electric Avenue if you can catch him. Yeah, come see us at Majestic Cafe near Hagley Park tomorrow or if you're going to Electric Ave, come say hi. And if there wasn't enough fun, Meg thought she would raise the stakes. Right. I said we should all make each other t-shirts we have to wear. And we have done that. Dan and I have made one for make each other t-shirts we have to wear. And we have done that. Dan and I have made one for Clint.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Clint and Dan have made one for me. And Clint and I have made one for Dan. None of us know what the other t-shirt is. If you think that's fake, it's not. We really genuinely don't know. I am nervous. Why did you do this? Because the thing is, I come up with ideas and I think they're funny.
Starting point is 00:48:41 And then I realise I have to be involved. And then... Did you think that maybe you could be the string puller, and you just did it for Clint and I? No, God, no. I knew I would always, if I'm going to expect something of you two, I would do it for myself, apart from if it was like a giant wedgie or something. Or a circumcision.
Starting point is 00:48:56 I think yours is, Meg, it's going to be hard to beat in terms of embarrassingness. Okay. Meg, would you like to hear what people around the office thought of your T-shirt design when they were shown the design and told not to give anything away? Can I make a guess? Not of what it is, because I want a surprise. I think what you two have done, knowing you two so well, I think what you would have done is maybe not something that everybody would be hating to wear,
Starting point is 00:49:21 but something that specifically Meg Mansell would hate to wear, because you know me very well. I don't know. I think she... I don't know. I think it's what it's got to make others do that will annoy you. Like, do you mean something like, are you going to heaven? Ask me how... Ask me about the Bible.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Yeah, yeah. Do you know about your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? Because that's what I mean. If you did something like that, you know that I do not like stranger danger, especially with people if they're drinking or something. And if they are talking to me a lot, I get very overwhelmed very quickly with a lot of people. And you know that I'm always going to put on a smile and be nice to everybody.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Well, this is what people said when they saw your shirt design around the edge of us yesterday. Is it my friend? All right, next, we've got Megs. What the f***? She's f***ing s***, does she? I'd be very embarrassed wearing it, I think. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:50:14 And I feel like that could go horribly wrong. I wouldn't wear it personally, but each their own. Not going to yucky yum. Oh, my God. That is f***ing horrible. Relevant. Yup. Brilliant.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Oh, is that Cal? Great, so he's loving it. Of course he would. Yeah, best friends. Cal from the night show. Quick fan. Oh, we giggled when we were thinking of it, didn't we, Claire?
Starting point is 00:50:35 Yeah. We had a giggle. Okay. I don't love that. I honestly thought I was getting off a bit light and that has made my thoughts change.
Starting point is 00:50:42 Okay, this is what people thought about Dan's. First reaction, this is Dan's. F***ing awful though. It's the font, isn't it? Yeah, it's f***ing awful. Oh my God. I think it's beautiful font for a not so beautiful message.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Perfect. Absolutely amazing. Would absolutely suit you, Dan. Gorgeous. I don't remember the font being a thing. I wonder if they've shown the right one there. Why are they talking about the font? Is it like Comic Sans or something?
Starting point is 00:51:06 No, the font was just plain, so maybe they just switched it up. And this is the design that Meg and Dan conspired to put on a T-shirt for me. I highly regret going with your choice on this one. Actually, I think I've heard through the grapevine, I had a different design, and then everyone was like, that's not bad enough, and then you guys have done another design. Your current design is bad enough for sure. Wow, this is Clint's.
Starting point is 00:51:30 Is he actually? There's some creatures that electric have, so that actually might be a good shirt. I don't think a shirt would ever suit a man more than that one for Clint. Like, genuinely. Oh, no, that's the worst one. That is absolutely the worst one. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:51:46 Okay, Clint. Yeah. That's Kel from The Night Show again. Kel would love that one. I will say this. We were thinking of going for you, Clint, like one that said number one Trump supporter on it. Yeah, we were.
Starting point is 00:52:01 And this is worse. And the one that we turned down was stealing hearts and blowing farts or something. So you don't have that. And that was too... Well, I've heard the boss say that in videos,
Starting point is 00:52:14 you're going to have to blur my shirt. Correct. Because we can't put it on the internet. Correct. And then we've still got on us, the Edge office, whose shirt they thought was the worst. Out of the three,
Starting point is 00:52:23 which one do you think's the worst? Who do you think's the worst clint's is pretty in your face it's pretty bad clint's okay that is amazing yeah definitely clint clint's is the worst clint's that is correct oh clint clint loses or me to wear in public yeah definitely clint's that is so out of the three who's is the worst absolutely clint's one typical clint's on me the four, whose is the worst? Absolutely Clint's one. Oh, typical. Clint's or me? Clint's or me? This is the first time Clint's has been the butt of a joke.
Starting point is 00:52:50 I honestly wonder if they've shown the wrong T-shirt for you because I wouldn't want to wear yours, Dan. I don't want you to eat your hopes up, buddy. Really? Oh, I'm clicking my heels. Me being bullied once again. Flo Rida. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge.
