Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. The Edge Breakfast 2025. New year, new hits. And a new hairstyle for Clint. No, it's still the same. Not anymore, it isn't. Dan, what the f... Hot.
Starting point is 00:00:23 This is The Edge Breakfast with Clint, Meg and Dan. Kia ora, good morning. Welcome. Welcome, welcome. Clint, could you just lean up and over? Can you see that the pages have been closed on Dan's laptop where he's been looking for bidets all morning? No, I've been looking for them all night, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:00:41 I just went into Bunnings... No, I have not been looking twice as long as you said. It's far worse, Clint. I went to Bunnings Warehouse yesterday and I just noticed that they had a big selection of bidet attachments for toilets. Yeah. And quite affordable. Oh, attachments, you don't have to replace your whole toilet. No, you just take your seat
Starting point is 00:00:57 off, your normal seat, and then put it on and it's got an attachment like a squirter thing and like different drying functions. Squirt your bum, cleans it. Dan has always said to us, no one's going anywhere near that thing. Well, until you see that they're $149, that's affordable. That's an entry-level bidet.
Starting point is 00:01:16 But anyway, you don't want to talk about it. No. I think Meg's been already hearing about it for the last 30 minutes. There's one that does a massage. Massage function. Anal massage. There we go. Massage function. Anal massage. Look, it's got a jet that sort of just does
Starting point is 00:01:29 a little sort of figure of eight. A little tongue motion or something. Daniel! Where are you? I'm on the toilet, babe. Again? This is your 17th time today. Yeah, anyway,
Starting point is 00:01:41 it's there if you want it. $500 for the one with the massage function. Bunnings Warehouse. Worth it. He500 for the one with the massage function. Bunnings Warehouse. He quietly said to himself before Clint, do you think Hannah will relate this past? No, I don't.
Starting point is 00:01:53 I don't think Hannah, your wife, is going to pay $500 to put an anus massager on their toilet. He's going to have to put the attachment on when he goes and then when he's finished the toilet, he's going to take it off and replace the sink and then go and hide his little attachment. It comes with a remote, Clint. Come on, and it's heated. I mean, what's going to take it off and replace the sink and then go and hide his little attachment. It comes with a remote, Clint. Come on, and it's heated. I mean, what's not to like?
Starting point is 00:02:08 Anyway. All right, well, I reckon treat yourself. When's your birthday? Not till December. December, yeah. I can't wait that long. Valentine's Day bean. What else is there?
Starting point is 00:02:19 What else is there? Anniversary. Oh, that's true. That's coming up, actually. That's nice. That's nice. Guess what I got you Hannah Clint, Meg and Dan
Starting point is 00:02:26 Quick little reminder this morning Cash Strapped is back At 7 o'clock The last couple of days 7 has been a real low ball offer Well low ball From Dan's end Yeah from Dan's end
Starting point is 00:02:38 So what is that Does that mean they're going to do it Three days in a row Or are they going to call our bluff I reckon they're going to call our bluff And do it high this time Yeah 8 o'clock has been great.
Starting point is 00:02:46 A thousand bucks, thirteen hundred bucks and then seven in your vest, Dan, has been like twenty and thirty and stuff. Who is the person, who's the big boss here that decides the financial? Probably the big boss.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Yeah. Who's that though? I never know who's the boss. You know, sometimes it's Clint, sometimes it's the big boss, Leon. Oh, I would never say the big boss, Leon.
Starting point is 00:03:02 That's true. No, I've never said it. Clint or Leon? So either our boss is boss Leon, our boss of Casey, or Clint. You think go back and forth about who's the boss? Absolutely not. If you haven't taken your Ritalin, mate, don't. Okay. I like where he is.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Yeah, he's in this real sweet spot at the moment. Today, though, Clint is wearing his Warriors jersey, Meg. Why is... Oh, is it because you're going to the Warriors game with Will? Yeah, I'm going to Vegas. My mum called me, so she's going, is he actually going? I was like, well, it's up to Will, Mum. We don't actually know.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Like, a lot of people are probably thinking, oh, we know. We haven't even called Will yet. Which, I mean, makes me think it's probably not happening since it is Wednesday. You'd think if Will was sticking to his word, he would have reached out to Clint already and gone, hey, bro. Will won 5,000 air points on the show, thanks to me. And I guess as a thank you was like, Clint, I'm going to take us to the Warriors game in Vegas next year, which is now the Saturday. I think he's one of those guys that it promises something at the time, then afterwards goes, oh, anyway.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Nah, those guys are the worst and me and Will broed down like we were like new best friends. What's his last name? I don't think any friends of mine would do that. Yeah, what's his last name?
Starting point is 00:04:11 What is it? Honesty. Will Honesty. Does he live in Gloria Vale? Yeah, he used to. He got out and he kept his last name.
Starting point is 00:04:20 He changed his first but he kept his last. Okay. I actually checked how much flights are, if you want to jump on an Air New Zealand flight at least, last minute from here to Vegas. How much?
Starting point is 00:04:32 Two grand each way. Jesus, that's what's happened. He's looked at the prices. If he hasn't booked my flights already, then out of the 5,000 points that he's made, he'll have to spend 4,000 of them, more than enough to get me there and back. Yeah, and he would have already bought his ticket.
Starting point is 00:04:51 So what makes you think, so do we pay now in pocket for you? Okay, there's a high chance, not 100%, there's a high chance he's forgotten and he has no intention of taking me. But I still would like to hear, when we call him at seven, how he's going to front up
Starting point is 00:05:04 to just blatantly going back on something that he promised that I never asked for. Yeah, I mean, it could be quite savage. Or it could just be a man that thought you were joking. Can I say how I think it would go? Hey, Will, how come you didn't do what you said you were going to? Oh, sorry, mate. It was more expensive than I thought.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Ha-ha. It was a kind of joke. And then Megan High go, oh, okay. It was more expensive than I thought. Ha ha. It was a kind of joke. And then Megan Hiker. Then am I allowed to swear? Yeah. I feel like I should get the sense already if I'm going to do that. What's he going to do? He never swears.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Yeah. It's bad. We haven't even done the call and he's already depressed. He's wound up. He's wearing his Warriors hat and his Warriors top. I know. He's wearing his Warriors top. And then I'm just like, f*** you, Will. Got to be quicker with that one because I feel like that was a little too late. Anyway, we're going to find out after 7 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Oh my goodness me. I don't think you can call listeners that. Can you? No, poor Will. No, Will's his friend though. Will Honesty is his mate. Yeah, Will. To be fair, I won't have to be calling Will anything.
Starting point is 00:06:03 All I'd be having to say to Will is thank you. Yeah, Will, to be fair, I won't have to be calling Will anything. All I'd be having to say to Will is, thank you. Yeah, true. We'll look forward to that just after 7 o'clock when the truth comes out. Will will take Clint to Vegas. And I like Meg's idea of us legally changing his name to Won't if he doesn't. I do like that word, obviously. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Juxtaposition, really. I want to get to know everyone that listens to our show more intimately, one at a time if you want a voucher to go spend in store at Z give us a call right now 0800 THE EDGE and we'll sort you out

I don't want any more questions about the cat boys because that's going to be my main question this morning. But Lisa, good morning. Good morning. Good morning, Lisa. I believe, Dan, you have a nickname for Lisa backed up. Yeah, well, Lisa, I don't. I need
Starting point is 00:07:15 to know a little bit more about you. What's your last name? My last name? Yeah. Or do you not want to give it out? No, I'm not going to give that out. That's so funny. What do you not want to get up on the road? Or do you not want to give it out? No, I'm not going to give that out. That's so funny. What do you think will happen, Lisa? Yeah, I can't come up with an answer. Worst case scenario. People might know that you like us. Yeah, isn't that right?
Starting point is 00:07:35 Lisa, that's my biggest secret. That's right. It's a dark little secret that you listen to us. Hey, Lisa, is your Instagram account private? So if I tried to follow you, it'd say requested? Yes. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:07:48 She's a private person. As long as your privacy is consistent across radio, social media, and other platforms. So maybe we can just call her Mum Van Lisa. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Yeah, anonymous Lisa. Anonymous. Secretive Lisa. I'm guessing that means you have kids, Lisa. How many? Yes. Three.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Three children. Yeah, Mum Van. You need a Mum Van. Yes. Three. Three children. Yeah, mum van. You need a mum van. Okay. Yeah. Three kid Lisa. So three kid Lisa. My question this morning for you boys, you answer first and then Lisa will say who's

Starting point is 00:08:24 I'm going to go with Bella. Can I go with Bella? Yeah, sorry. I listened to the instructions and did the complete opposite. Yes. And then you get annoyed, Lisa, when your kids don't listen. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Let's get her number plate then. I'm kidding. Okay, why don't we go, but what if it's just a bitzer? I was going to say, what type of cat she had? Let's go colour, the colour of the cat. I'm going to lock in, if it was a bella, it was a black and white cat. Okay, I'm going to go ginger. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Clint, you've got tortoiseshell, grey. Mostly grey. Okay. Who's closer? Oh, God, no one. No, it's really... The tortoiseshell was probably closer. Was it a tabby cat?
Starting point is 00:09:09 Yeah, it was a tabby. Well done, Clint. Do you know what that means? Yeah, sure. I mean, it sounds like I won. What is tabby? So tabby is like grey with stripes. You know, the most normal looking cat.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Tortoise was more mixed with orange. Okay. Oh, well done, Lisa. Secret Lisa. Can we save her name as like... Secret Lisa. Private Lisa. Private orange. Okay. Oh, well done, Lisa. Secret Lisa. Can we say her name as like... Secret Lisa. Private Lisa. Private Lisa.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Yeah. Can you at least say what you do for a job? Or are you not going to say that either? Because then people might know. Yeah, I can tell you what I do for a job. I'm a nurse. What is a nurse? Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Was that a question too? No, no, no. That wasn't a trick question. You're doing great. Oh, damn it, Lisa. Hang up on her. You're doing great. Hey, Lisa it, Lisa. Hang up on her. You're doing great.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Hey, Lisa, now, if you do want the voucher to spend in Z, you are going to have to give your address details to Intern Lily. Not on here, though. Is that okay? Great. Yes, that's fine. Okay. We promise that Dan will not reach out to you or show up at your doorstep. I'm going to go and ask Lily what your last name is.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Thanks for playing, Lisa. Have a great morning. Thank you. Have a good. Thanks for playing, Lisa. Have a great morning. Thank you. Have a good morning. See you, Lisa. See you, Lisa. You can check out Zed's new Chill Drinks range. They're a match made a matcher.
Starting point is 00:10:15 I find that a lot that people don't want to give out details because people will know that they listen to us. Lisa's like my wife. She's so secretive. Everything, they're like, I can't say that. It's like, why? Who cares? It's like people that don't want a photo of their number plate going
Starting point is 00:10:27 online. And it's like, how many people are going to a New Zealand post and putting your plate number in so they can find out where you live? Hannah, my wife, is sometimes even scared to send photos of her face or George's face, my son, on a messenger app because she's scared that Mark Zuckerberg will get his hands on it
Starting point is 00:10:44 or something. Oh, that's like Steph. Oh, I know. You've got a cute baby. Steph from Edge Afternoons doesn't do trick-or-treating because she's worried the kids are going to go, you're Steph from Edge
Starting point is 00:10:51 and then they're going to know where she lives. She's got a mask on. I was like, don't be a cheapskate. Give the kids lollies. That's the real reason. She doesn't want to buy lollies.
Starting point is 00:11:00 We've got Scandal coming up next. It's a little double whammy. I've got something that Taylor Swift has done Plus a question about Drake I thought Clint might be able to answer for me But not Dan
Starting point is 00:11:11 No definitely not Dan It's to do with sport Definitely won't be able to then And Drake, Jesus Clint, Meg and Dan First off some good news to our girl Taylor Taylor Swift has made history this morning as the first female artist to surpass 100 billion streams on Spotify.
Starting point is 00:11:33 100 billion? 100 billion. Do you think that sort of stuff worries... Tell me about it. I know how you do the maths, Clint, so do the maths in there you do. Oh. Is it like seven seconds is a million
Starting point is 00:11:43 and then 30, 70 years is a billion? If someone gave you... It's like if someone gave you... This is the difference between a million and then 37 years is a billion? If someone gave you... It's like if someone gave you... This is the difference between a million and a billion, right? Meg's talking about 100 billion. If someone gave you a dollar every second from when you were alive, you would have a million dollars after 11 days. But if someone gave you a dollar every second you were alive,
Starting point is 00:12:00 for 12 years or 11 years, you would have a billion. So that's just one billion, right? So she's got 100. 100 billion streams. Do you think that sort of stat... Just on that platform. Do you think that sort of stat even crosses Taylor's mind? I reckon she wouldn't even know that.
Starting point is 00:12:16 She's so successful that there'll be all these little stats about her that she'll be like, oh yeah, that's just another one. You know? Yeah, that's true. But to anyone else... Although to her though, she seems to care about those things a lot, don't you think? That's why she drives with the success. Yeah. Maybe not
Starting point is 00:12:31 that stat, but I do think that she actually cares a lot more than people think she does. She does, sorry, about awards and winning things. Someone asked me the other day, who do you think's more famous? Michael Jackson at his height or Taylor Swift at her height? And I think it's hard to compare because Michael Jackson like at his height or Taylor Swift at her height and I think it's hard to compare because Michael Jackson didn't
Starting point is 00:12:47 have social media. Yeah so obviously Taylor has more listens because she can with billions of streams but Michael Jackson also was like the only pop star and we've got so many pop stars Sorry also just before people jump in and correct me. Yeah 11 days
Starting point is 00:13:03 $1 every second 32 years for a billion. Not 12 years, 32 years. If someone gave you a dollar every second that you were alive from when you were born to take, you'd have to be 32 before you had a billion dollars. That's the difference between a million and a billion. It makes it sound about $100 billion. It's crazy stuff.
Starting point is 00:13:20 All right, show me. Now, I could be completely off here, but I saw a photo of Drake, and I thought, that looks like he's wearing a jersey that my mate Clint would wear, because I think it's got the Canterbury logo on it. Okay. Is the Canterbury logo New Zealand? Yeah. Okay, have a look at this.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Canterbury is like a New Zealand brand. I don't know, I'm completely off. Yeah. What's that? That's the Canterbury brand. Well, that's the Canterbury brand, which is like an actual clothing brand in itself. And that's New Zealand brand? And that's a New Zealand brand.
Starting point is 00:13:47 That's a Super Rugby jersey, right? Because it's got the Super Rugby logo on the sleeve. So who's he backing? Because it's maroon and gold. Aren't they... I know that Nixon, I think, used to wear maroon and gold when I worked with him. It almost...
Starting point is 00:13:59 Well, because the left side is where the badge would be with the team he's supporting. So you can see the Super Rugby on his shoulder and the Canterbury clothing brand, but it's hard to see what the logo is where the badge would be with the team he's supporting. So you can see the Super Rugby on his shoulder and the Canterbury clothing brand, but it's hard to see what the logo is with the team. Super Rugby maroon and gold. Because I'm sure Nixon, who used to work and now works at MyFM, that is who he would wear.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Maybe I'm wrong. This says Crusaders, but it's obviously maroon state Queensland. Yeah, but it's not Queensland. Chiefs. I don't know. Interesting though, isn't it? obviously Maroon State, Queensland. Yeah, but it's not Queen. Chiefs. I don't know. Interesting though, isn't it? I thought it was quite cool. Yeah, well, he's definitely wearing a Super Rugby jersey
Starting point is 00:14:30 because he's got the big blue S on his arm, on his sleeve. So he's supporting one of the Super Rugby teams. Oh, yeah. So I'm guessing he'll be in Vegas with you, Clint. Well, no, that's Rugby Union. Oh, they're different. Rugby League is like the Warriors. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:14:44 So he's not watching the Warriors? No. Yeah, he might not be a League fan. League is actually a better game than Union. A much better game. Wait, which one does he like? Well, he likes Union. Union?
Starting point is 00:14:55 Like what the All Blacks play. So the All Blacks play rugby, rugby Union, and then Rugby League is like the Warriors. So he could be wearing an All Blacks jersey then? In theory, if he's back in a different team. Like if that's a New Zealand Super Rugby team that he's following then he might follow the all-blacks a little bit. Because he likes the sport.
Starting point is 00:15:12 And these are Aussie teams that he's looking at that he likes. Yeah well Super Rugby is Aussie, South Africa, Fiji, New Zealand. But also he could just be like Dan and he could just wear a jacket because he likes the colour. Like when Dan wears the Kansas City Chiefs,
Starting point is 00:15:27 he doesn't actually watch them in the NFL. I should have called Hayden Allen straight away. He's texting saying, I'm pretty sure that's Queensland red. Thank you, Hayden. My actual male sports fan in my life. He's easy, thanks. I was just trying to Google that whole time, trying to Google that jersey, but it wouldn't come up.
Starting point is 00:15:43 But it looks like it is an Australian one. Also, with a new start to the season, teams will change their jerseys because then their fans will go and buy the new one. So, I just don't follow Rugby Union because it's not as exciting of a sport as Rugby League. He must be a fan of Australian Rugby Union because he's worn a
Starting point is 00:15:57 Wallabies jersey in the past as well. Oh, has he? Yeah, I just googled Drake rugby jersey and the Wallabies one came up. Interesting. It's good on him. Thanks to Meet the Need. The scandal was brought to you. The need is real. Help families today.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Yeah, cool. You can text the word MEET to 3343 if you want to find out more about what they're doing and how you can score yourself $500 cash after nine this morning. Clint, Meg and Dan
Starting point is 00:16:21 on the edge. What you got? Alright, what you got team? We'll put a few news stories on your radar you need to know about for Wednesday, 26th of February. Meg, are you up to speed? Should I start? Go on. With the vaping.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Yeah, there's a lot of people that are vaping these days. It's becoming more and more common, even though there's a lot of medical things out there. It's getting younger and younger, too. It's awful. Yeah, because they bring in the bubblegum flavour and the grape and Coca-Cola and all that kind of stuff. We'll look back one day and be like, remember when there was advertised vaping with bubblegum and stuff? It would be wild. We'd do a cigarette advertising.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Yeah. There's lots of studies that say it's worse for you than smoking in a way. And there's been a new study that's come out saying that it could be affecting your sex life. There was a study that came out that looked at this exact question. They looked at like, I think it was like 20,000 patients, found that basically if you vaped, you were two and a half times more likely to have erectile dysfunction than those who didn't. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Erectile dysfunction. So I guess that's mainly affecting men. Well, it's not affecting women, bro. Well, in a different way. It would affect a woman if there were the guy that vapes. That's what I'm talking about. Sure, okay. But I mean, it is...
Starting point is 00:17:26 It's not messing with women's erectile function. It's just another reason why you shouldn't vape, in my opinion. There's so many studies that have come out it's bad for your lungs. I just think there's definitely... We just haven't had the research yet of years and years of doing it. I mean, I'm not pro-vaping in this question. There we go. There's a butt.
Starting point is 00:17:44 There we go. I thought they just took the nicotine from a cigarette, which is what you're inhaling with all the flavour, and you don't have all the toxic chemicals and poisons that are in a cigarette. You're inhaling some sort of toxic thing into your lung. So even if you have too many candles on, like soy wax candles, that's probably not
Starting point is 00:18:01 good for your lungs. Any sort of chemicals you're inhaling. I get that, but I would have thought, let's say, and I'm making numbers up, let's say a cigarette has 10 chemicals in it, of which one is nicotine. I thought vaping was just one chemical, which is just nicotine. Well, there you go. There's some science for you. Some made-up numbers from Randall's brain. How can it be worse if they've taken more of the bad stuff?
Starting point is 00:18:21 It's still bad, but surely it's less bad. I think it is less bad, but the problem is because it's still bad, but surely it's less bad. I think it is less bad, but the problem is because it's less bad, people are taking it up. It's not like just people are giving up cigarettes to take up vaping.
Starting point is 00:18:31 People are taking up vaping that weren't even smoking. Right. So that's the issue. It's like more people are doing it. It's more accessible. It's easier to do.
Starting point is 00:18:38 It's cheaper to do. It's flavoured for kids. And now people that weren't even smoking, because sure, it would have helped the people that were pack-a-day smokers to do this instead
Starting point is 00:18:46 and it's slightly healthier to do it instead, but to take it up instead of doing anything, like nothing at all. And people vape maybe more than they smoke. Carl, would you just go? It's also like, yeah, like exactly what you just said. People vape so much more. I've got friends who have their vape on the side of the bed
Starting point is 00:19:01 and they will like literally wake up, have a puff and then go back. I know radio announcers in this building who will sit there in the songs and just vape on the side of the bed and they will literally wake up, have a puff and then go back. I know radio announcers in this building who will sit there in the songs and just vape the whole time. And you know people that panic if they don't have their vape in their pocket or nearby. You're so right.
Starting point is 00:19:14 They can vape 24-7 vaping. Whereas beer smoking is different. Okay, on to the next story. I have been a tiny bit political, but I found it really interesting. I've been following the school lunch thing. Oh, I have some strong views on the school lunches. And look, because we've got a new government
Starting point is 00:19:29 and they are rolling out lunches that are a lot cheaper than what we had with the last government, there have been complaints about being late or unsavoury or unsuitable lunches. I've seen those stories. I know there's always going to be, what's the word, when you've got a new company and it's rolling out to hundreds of thousands of schools? Teething problems.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Teething problems. The thing that's come up in the stories today is that one of the schools, out of Lincoln Heights, just down the road from Auckland, from where we lived in, out of 17 days, they were served butter chicken for 11 of it. Is that a bad thing? I love butter chicken. That's what you were going to say. 11 days of it though, 11 days of butter chicken. I'm such you were going to say. 11 days of it though.
Starting point is 00:20:05 11 days of butter chicken. I'm such a firm believer in school lunches. I think it's such a positive thing to have in schools because it means that everybody is treated equal. They get the same lunch. Agreed. A lot of bullying starts from school lunches. So if everybody, the richest kid at the school
Starting point is 00:20:19 and the poorest kid at the school is getting the same thing, I think that's really good. Same meal, same education. Agreed. Glenn, what have you got? Well, we're going to have to push on. and the poorest kid at the school is getting the same thing. I think that's really good. Same meal, same education, agreed. Glenn, what have you got? Well, we're going to have to push on. I've got five simple tips to grow your moustache next because Dan has been trying to grow one, and yesterday we measured it.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Not the moustache, but how far away you can be from Dan and still see it. Meg got 34 centimetres before she said she really couldn't tell if he did or didn't have a moustache. I think the only thing we've figured out there is Meg needs her eyes checked. Meg got 34 centimetres before she said she really couldn't tell if he did or didn't have a moustache. I think the only thing we've figured out there is Meg needs her eyes checked. Well, let's find out. It's been 24 hours since.
Starting point is 00:20:54 How far Meg can stand away from Dan and still see the moustache. And I've got some tips. We'll find out how many of the top five you're doing, Dan. I don't think it's going to be much further, Clint. It's been a day. You're setting me up to fail here. Come on. That doesn't sound like Meg and I.
Starting point is 00:21:05 No. Clint, Meg and I. No. Right now, though, we're about to get a bit of an update on Moustache Gates. Dan has been growing it for how long now, Dan? Oh, well, it's just over a week, to be honest. And so I can't imagine there'll be many people that can grow a full-blown moustache in a week. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:24 But you're the one that brought it up and said, why haven't youblown moustache in a week. Yeah. Right. But you're the one that brought it up and said, why haven't you noticed my moustache? So this is on you, Dan. We didn't even bring it up because we haven't seen it. I've sent you a link you can read in your own time. Why can't I grow a moustache? But they reckon there's a lot of different things. Stress is one of the top reasons.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Have you got a lot of stress going on in your life? I am quite stressy. Sometimes we're currently looking for a new house to rent, and that's been making me stressed. Stress is one of the top reasons. Have you got a lot of stress going on in your life? I am quite stressy. Sometimes. We're currently looking for a new house to rent. That might be it. And that's been making me stressed. I'm doing a stand-up routine this Saturday night and I'm stressed about that. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Clint. What? Shut up. Oh. I've got nothing on this Saturday. I've told you about that. No, you haven't. You're doing a stand-up comedy set.
Starting point is 00:22:02 You haven't invited us? No, but it's just a practice one. You know, like how you go and run some new gear. I've done a couple. No, that's a stand-up comedy set. You haven't invited us? No, but it's just a practice one. You know, like how you go and run some new gear. No, that's a stand-up set. Yeah, but that's not... When is it? Not telling now. Oh, I'm putting it in.
Starting point is 00:22:13 It's Saturday. It'll be at the Classic or somewhere. Yeah. Look at his face. It is the Classic. Anyway, that's why I'm stressed. Because they do like a new mic night or whatever where they have new comics go up.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Yeah, it's where a lot of the comics go to practice their new stuff. Saturday between 7pm and 11.45pm? Could be. That's a big window to wait for Dan. That's how long my set is. It's about a four-hour set strapping. Yeah, so that's why I think I've been a little bit stressed and maybe that's why my moustache isn't growing long enough.
Starting point is 00:22:43 We need to come back to the comedy stuff for sure. Please, you need to go. I'm very upset. Low levels of testosterone. That could also be. That could be it. Yeah, that could be it. High levels of estrogen.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Yeah. That could be another reason. And I've sent you some other links as to simple things you can do. If you're using correct grooming tools, and there's a beard growth treatment you can buy. Following a healthy diet, you're not doing that. Definitely not. Sleeping well.
Starting point is 00:23:10 I do eat mostly healthy. There is the odd packet of chips I'll have, but in between the chips, I'm having healthy vegetables. What did you have for dinner last night? Nachos. It's not helping your moustache growth. So Meg stood in front of you nose to nose yesterday and then she slowly moved away from you
Starting point is 00:23:30 and once she couldn't see the moustache anymore, she then stopped the tape measure and we landed at 34 centimetres. Are we going to do this every day? Yeah, I reckon, Meg, what's the distance you would need to be from someone and still see their moustache where you go, yeah, that's a moustache? 200 metres. 200 metres?
Starting point is 00:23:49 I don't think you can see Magnum PI from 200 metres. Okay, fine. 20 metres. 20 metres? Yeah, I think that's fair. 20 metres. If you go, does that guy have a moustache? And if he did, you should be able to go, yeah, I can see her.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Yeah. I think we may even need to do a test of people that have never even listened to the show, Clint, and we get them to come in and say three defining features of Dan's face and until one of them is moustache. Yes, I love that. So we'll go around and go, if you had to describe a Dan's face to a blind person,
Starting point is 00:24:13 what three things would you use to describe them? You go white, blue eyes. And brown, short hair. And chin. He's got a chin. Okay, here we go. Come on, let's wrap this up. It's going to be more than 34 centimetres today because obviously it's going to be broad. He's got a chin so that's okay
Starting point is 00:24:33 Okay Here she goes keep going This is my okay That's 34 that was that's the same as it was yesterday. Let me see if I can go back any further. Okay. Here she goes. She's taking a step back. Now it's blending. No, it's not. Now it's blending. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:24:51 I refuse to know. It's blending into a stubble. Okay. Because it's blending into a stubble. Okay, what's the new distance? 51. 51. 51 centimetres.
Starting point is 00:24:59 That's the F to B. 51 centimetres or closer to Dan to see his moustache at the moment. Have I grown 20 centimetcm in a night? I wish other parts of me grew that much Okay we're about to jump into headlines And then we will give you a chance to play cash strapped Oh sorry I just dropped the mic Sorry, mic drop
Starting point is 00:25:18 You save it for your Saturday night show mate Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge Let's give away some cash You save it for your Saturday night show, mate. Let's give away some cash. Alright, everyone's strapped for cash at the moment, including the Edge, but not in the way you might think. New Zealand's fastest dash for cash is coming to a town near you to win your share of $50,000. You just have to catch it to keep it.
Starting point is 00:25:45 This Friday, Harrison from Edge Afternoons will have the cash strapped to him, so he's going to want your vest, Dan. Yeah, we can take it, but then I guess we're not doing it. You're going to want it back, though. I'm going to want that back. I'm getting attached to this vest.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Coronation Park, Mount Maunganui, 8 a.m. Friday. Be there. Okay. All right, and the person that is lucky enough to play cash Stripe this morning and will be walking away with some amount of cash no matter what is Nicole, who has her six-year-old, well, her five-year-old's birthday
Starting point is 00:26:13 turning six very soon. I hear your daughter is obsessed with Wicked, Nicole. Yes, sir. She is obsessed with Wicked. Okay. She sings with them every now and then. Me and her both. And I hear that you want
Starting point is 00:26:28 to have Glinda make a special appearance. I'm guessing it's not Ariana Grande, but obviously a fake Glinda. We wish, but yeah, no. Fake Glinda from Rainbow Circus. Okay, Rainbow Circus. How much does a Glinda cost? How much do you think a Glinda would cost, Dan? Oh, I would say
Starting point is 00:26:43 $150 for to come and tune up to a kid's birthday party. How much does a Glinda cost? How much do you think a Glinda would cost, Dan? Oh, I would say, yeah, $150 for like a... $150 to come and tune up to a kid's birthday party. How much we're talking? No, she costs about $250. $250? Yeah, yeah. I know. $50?
Starting point is 00:26:55 I'd be expecting. Dan, put on a wig and go to kids' parties. I could pull off Glinda. I genuinely think I could. I think you could pull off Glinda too and I'd watch that. Hmm, okay. And I'll do it for $150. You can come and sit, I'll take off Glinda. I genuinely think I could. I think you could pull off Glinda too, and I'd watch that. Okay. And I'll do it for $150, Nicole. You think I'll take that?
Starting point is 00:27:09 Yeah. Okay. All right, Nicole. You say, I'm hoping you're not lying to me. You say it costs $250. I'm going to offer you $250. Generous. And so you can get Glinda and watch your little girl's face light up as she turns up to the party.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Here's a test of Nicole's character. All party. Here's a test of Nicole's character. All yours. Here's a test of Nicole's character. She asked for it, gave it to her. Phone call over. Does she leave with what she wanted, or does she do what 99% of people have done? I don't like that laugh.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Before you make the decision, just quickly, Nicole, why get fake, Glinda, when you could get the real Ariana Grande with the amount of money I've got in my vest, I think you could. All right, let's lock it in. Nicole, are you going to take the $250 that you said you wanted and walk away for your daughter's birthday or risk it and potentially not have Glinda because you only get $20? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Oh, this is so stressful because surely it's not going to be nothing at 7 o'clock again. Yeah, the last two days. Why? She's been listening. Why is thinking? So you're locking in the vest? I'm going to lock in the vest on my boss.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Shut up! Oh, no! I'm with my wife. I know, I'm the worst. She's risking it. She's risking the $250. Your six-year-old girl smile. Here it goes.
Starting point is 00:28:24 I have no idea what's in the vest. I've reached in and I've pulled out. $900! Oh, stop. Oh, my God. You can get Glinda. You can also get Elzaba. I can get two Glindas.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Yeah, Elzaba. Yeah, Glinda. Elzaba. And Bach. Yeah. Oh, Alphaba. Yeah, Alphaba and Glenda get the whole cast. And Bach. Yeah, he'll be cheating. Oh, my God. How good is that? Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:28:50 You guys are amazing. Thank you so much. You are going to be so popular, Nicole. You're going to be popular. Your daughter is going to be defying gravity. That's how happy she'll be. It didn't work as well as I thought. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Good. Congrats, Nicole. Well played, babe. Back again. 8 o'clock this morning. Cash strapped. We take the money offered to you by Meg or the cash strapped to Dan. That is up to you.
Starting point is 00:29:13 But you will be guaranteed to leave with cash until we give away 50,000 bucks. Okay. We're going to have to change the mood in here a little bit, guys, because four months and four days ago, something was promised from a listener to one of us on the show. And then they went cold. The Warriors are playing their first game of the new NRL season in Vegas. Somebody won 5,000 air points on this show back in October and because they were so
Starting point is 00:29:48 grateful promised to take one of us to that game in Vegas. Will that person be heading to Vegas? Will they be a man of their word? Or they're going to start screening our calls and not picking up and trying to
Starting point is 00:30:04 wriggle out of this promise. We're coming for you, Will. You can't just be saying stuff on this show. Now he's getting angry and a little bit petty, isn't he, Clint? What do you think the chances are? He's a man of his word now. I'm nervous. So you should be.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Warriors playing their first game amongst other NRL teams this weekend in Las Vegas. It's a big deal to kick off the new NRL season. And something was promised on the show that made me think that I would actually be there. And still, I have hope that maybe that is the case. No, you don't. Clearly, you surely don't now. Do you still hold out hope? There's a little bit.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Like, I don't think it's a slam dunk, to use a non-NRL reference. Thank you. You haven't heard anything in six months and it's this weekend. Okay. If you're like, why Clint do you think you would go? This gets you completely up to speed as to what's been happening behind the scenes for the last four months. The date was October 22nd, 2024, when one of New Zealand's most honest and sincere men, William, backed Clint's ability in an on-air challenge.
Starting point is 00:31:08 And through no prompting of Clint, he stood tall on the top of a mountain and proclaimed what he would do if he won $5,000 worth of travel. Have you already decided where you're going to go in the world with $5,000? We can go together somewhere, surely. Oh, get it? If you win, me and you, boys trip. Vegas, the Warriors. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:31:28 I've never wanted a listener to win a prize more than I want Will to win. And as fate would have it, the rugby league gods smiled on Will, rewarding him with the travel and the boys trip he so publicly promised. Will, you're taking Clint to Vegas! Oh, my God!
Starting point is 00:31:43 Yippee! Me and Will are going to become best friends. I think I'll go business, you can go economy, but we'll go tax credit. Not even a seat in the last row of the plane and a small bag of cassava chips to last Clint. The 15-hour journey could discourage
Starting point is 00:31:58 this young Lifetime Warriors fan. Will had only one request. Has Clint got his Leaf Pass signed off? That's the biggest hurdle. Good thinking Will. Warriors and Vegas. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Do it. Even Clint's wife was ecstatic for her husband to witness this once-in-a-lifetime sporting event. Yeah, of course. Like, go to Vegas and see the Warriors. How is that? With an unexpected radio silence from Will for four months and four days since his generous promise, surely he wouldn't renege on such a public display of generosity.
Starting point is 00:32:33 What a shit thing that would be to do. Will Will be a man of his word? Or will we have to change Will's name to won't? I've got his number right here in front of me, boys. Oh my goodness, this is the moment. I'm dialing it. This is the moment. Could he already be in Vegas?
Starting point is 00:32:57 Better not be. What's the time in Vegas? 7.19. Well, it's 7.19 right now in New Zealand. If that helps. I don't know if that's... Oh, this is not looking good. It's not looking good, is it?
Starting point is 00:33:10 Come on, Will. It's 10.19 in the morning. In Vegas? Yes, yesterday. No, if I know him like I think I do, he wouldn't have left yet. You've reached the mailbox of... Okay. Well, he hasn't answered, Clint.
Starting point is 00:33:24 What does that mean? It means I think we call him again in an hour. Oh, he hasn't answered, Clint. What does that mean? It means I think we call him again in an hour. Oh, for God's sake, Clint. You're not going. Give it up. Take off your warrior shirt and your warrior's cap. The thing is, it's so sad. You're right, Mick. He's wearing full kit. Full warrior's kit right now.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Absolutely. We've gone along with it all week, Daniel. We have. He's not picking up the phone. It's not happening. No, maybe he's just, he could be in the shower. I don't want to miss out on an opportunity to go to Vegas. He's, oh yeah, I got a missed call, bro. I didn't know it was you. I was in the shower.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Clint. He hasn't called us once. He hasn't reached out by a message. Nothing. Okay. I know he works for 1NZ because he told us that like back in October. So if you know a Will who works for 1NZ, you text him and tell him his buddy
Starting point is 00:34:05 Clint is trying to get hold of him and we're going to call him again at 8 o'clock. I need to get an answer from him. I need to know what's happening. Is he going? Am I going? Is he already there? Has he booked the flights or not? I think you need to be more specific about his buddy Clint because he'll go, Clint? I've never heard of a Clint.
Starting point is 00:34:21 If he's not going to take me, if Will, if you're listening and you're not going to take me, you need to at least man up, answer our calls, and tell me that to my face. Clint, he's not taking you. It's this weekend. And don't put pressure on the poor man. I googled, I mean, wow, I checked the flights.
Starting point is 00:34:35 They're like two grand each way now. Why would he pay that for you? You're a stranger. He promised, Megan. Oh, gripping. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. Clint, Meg and Dan's Scandal. Scandal is thanks to Meet the Need,
Starting point is 00:34:50 Feeding Families and Changing Lives Donate Today. It's actually a maths-themed scandal. Clint is the biggest maths fan behind the scenes. I'm working with them a little bit, so I know everything that's going on too, but Clint is deep in. In fact, if you get him started... Oh, don't, don't.
Starting point is 00:35:04 I know. Don't get him started. He's, oh my goodness. Oh, but Clint is deep in. In fact, if you get him started. Oh, don't. I know. Don't get him started. He's, oh my goodness. Oh, there it is. I think actually we have one of my favourite, I was going to say characters, but people, Jamie joining us on the show like in a week or two. She's going to be in New Zealand doing a bit of PR.
Starting point is 00:35:18 So what has been happening this week is that there was a moment where Jackie, one of the wives, if you're not watching, you should still be able to keep up with this because it's kind of like a universal thing. Jackie was caught texting one of the other husbands, texting another man that isn't her husband and was accused of it.
Starting point is 00:35:36 I don't have anyone else's number. Jackie, Jackie, Jackie. You messaged her husband in this experiment, not her, behind her back. not her, behind her back. It wasn't behind her back. She said to me in a text message she wanted to catch up with me by myself. I had the text message.
Starting point is 00:35:53 You said just me. Jackie's looks to Rhi was disgusting. It's like she was giving her the death stare. What is wrong with texting somebody that's not your partner as long as the content isn't, you know, dodgy? Yeah, so you hear that accusation and you go, dirty, sneaky Jackie, right? But then Jackie just posted the, I think it was a couple of days ago,
Starting point is 00:36:20 she posted the conversation. She just screenshot it and posted it up for everyone to see to be like, these are the texts. And I can read a little bit of it out of it. So Jeff, the guy that was saying you texted me, I said, do you want to quickly come chat to me and Rhi or just me, Rhi being his wife? And she said, I'm happy to chat to you both,
Starting point is 00:36:35 but think it would be safer to keep it as just you. I know you are pretty switched on. I basically just want to know how to share my side of the story with the cameras and the group without ruining Ryan's life. It's more of a man-man thing, I think. So she wanted a male's advice about how to approach something with her husband. Fair enough. Above board, in my opinion.
Starting point is 00:36:51 And she knows that Jeff understands her situation because he's also on the TV show, right? Yeah, exactly. And she goes on about basically bitching about kind of the producers saying he's also my priority as we're both effed off with the producers about our pairing together and his behaviour has stopped and I'm worried about my association with him. She goes, it's basically about, can you help me out to make sure I don't make my husband look like an arsehole on camera and make sure that I'm doing the right thing by him because you're a guy, you'll get it.
Starting point is 00:37:18 That's what she is messaging him about, which is, I just think it's, I don't know, I hate the idea that women can't be friends with men in a platonic relationship. That pisses me off. You guys are two of my closest friends, and I'm very grateful and happy to know that your wives don't hate me because I text you and message you and hang out with you. I mean, if texting someone is cheating, then I'm cheating on you, me, with you, me.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Caitlin from Promos, Sharon Casey, who used to host the afternoon show here. My husband has a lot of female friends. A lot of female friends. A lot of the time I'm friends with him as well, but he has multiple times gone out for brunch just him and a female friend because that, to me, is completely
Starting point is 00:38:00 normal. It's like you can have a relationship, a platonic friendship with the other sex. Jeff, you're being a bit, a platonic friendship with the other sex. Jeff, you're being a bit of a dog because Jeff knows the conversation, right? He's blowing her up in front of everybody and then his partner, Rhi, is getting all upset about it. It's like, if you're
Starting point is 00:38:16 upset, just read the text. There's nothing in the text that's actually of any sort of ill nature. This just reeks again of another classic producer trying to wind stuff up on maths to get drama. And it's great when contestants get their phones back and they go to social media and they call out the BS.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Somebody's texting saying the difference is they're not friends. They're on a show together but they're not friends. No issue with texting a man who is your friend. A male who isn't your friend is weird. I think they're on a show that they're sharing. How do you become friends then? If you can't get to know somebody who isn't your friend, then you want to become their friend.
Starting point is 00:38:46 And I honestly think she was just reaching out to another guy who understands the situation that they're in and goes, how do I deal with this situation? Because I can't talk to my partner because we're not getting along, so I need to talk to somebody else on the show. And she picked Jeff. She could have picked another guy. Yes, and she sent a photo of her boobies.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Oh, man. Oh, God. Yeah, well, have picked another guy. Yes, and she sent a photo of her boobies. I mean. Oh, stop. Yeah, well, it's heating up. We're going to have also John Aitken, relationship expert on the show. Maybe we can hit him up about this and other things that will no doubt ensue over the next couple of weeks before he arrives in the country as well.
Starting point is 00:39:19 He's full of it too. Who, John? But Dan found out he was like an ex-professional cricket player and he's not a registered therapist? I have a theory. I reckon he's not a therapist. I reckon he's just a paid actor. Well, that theory is pretty backed
Starting point is 00:39:33 because you Googled it and he wasn't. Yeah, exactly. So there's my theory. Backed. But he gives great relationship advice. He's very good at what he does.
Starting point is 00:39:40 So do I. No, you don't. I don't claim to be a relationship expert. You give really bad advice. Alright, the Gen Z quiz coming up next. If you're a millennial
Starting point is 00:39:48 or a Gen Xer, you should absolutely ace this every time. If you're not, something is wrong. If you're a Gen Zer, you may struggle. Clint, Meg and Dan.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Welcome intern Lily to the show. Good on you. Good to have you in here. This is the first time you're doing the Gen Z quiz. I'm actually quite nervous. And you are within the age bracket.
Starting point is 00:40:06 How old are you, Lil? 21. Okay, perfect. Just a spring chicken. Perfect. Smack bang. I think Gen Z, although obviously every year it changes because it's based on the year you're born.
Starting point is 00:40:15 At the moment it's between 12 and 28 you are considered a Gen Z. Yeah. Wow. That's a long name. We had a Hail Mary last week, didn't we, Meg, with Bella, who usually does the Gen Z quiz. She got a four out of... Four out of five. It was absolutely astounding., didn't we, Meg, with Bella, who usually does the Gen Z quiz. She got a four out of... Four out of five.
Starting point is 00:40:25 It was absolutely astounding. And behind the scenes, Lily, the boys here have been worried that you're going to get it all right. Five out of five? I don't know about that. I said before that I'm coming in here, bad attitude, and I don't know if I'm going to get quite a lot. Oh, that sounds like a Gen Z bad attitude.
Starting point is 00:40:41 We are just trying to find out how much Gen Zs care about learning things that happen outside of their own generation. Here we go. Question one. Okay. Easy one to start. Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael are all characters in what TV and movie franchise? Simple one. I kind of was giving tennis until you said movie franchise.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Tennis. Tennis. Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael. Tennis players? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you see, Raphael. He's giving it from Raphael Nadal.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Yes. No. Unfortunately, they're Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Oh, no way. Have you heard of it? I've heard of it, but I didn't know who played it. I also would have, I mean, I feel your mind might have gone painters. A lot of famous painters, which the Turtles were named after.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Yes, Leonardo, Da Vinci, Donatello. Maybe, yeah, whatever. Maybe possibly, like, Lily, do you want to answer the rest of it? Because I don't know. Oh, no, Clint. Okay, question number two. Name this movie. Easy.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Pascal Musica! She's got one! She's got one! I love that movie. Oh, good. She's got one. She's got one. I love that movie. Oh, good. She's got one. It's not a pantsing. Here's your next question.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Who sings this song? Let's see. Start one. They haven't loaded in the actual chorus. She had her own reality TV show too. Oh, you guys are giving lots of clues to Lily. Here we go. You keep saying you bought something for me.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Is that Shakira or someone? Oh, no. Jessica Simpson. A little different. Yeah, so I don't know who that is. A little different. These boots are made for walking. Okay, so you're one from three.
Starting point is 00:42:21 All right, name the Simpsons character. I'm worried about the beer supply. After this case and the other case, there's only one case left. Come on. Iconic. Do you watch The Simpsons? No, ever. I'll give you a clue.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Homer Simpson's best mate. No more. Boys. A first name. I think I'm paying a first name. Guys, I'm just going to guess, like, Greg. Greg. I'm at home with Greg.
Starting point is 00:42:48 No, Barney Gumbel. We're looking for Barney Gumbel. I've never heard of that Simpson before. He's always hanging out at Moe's Tavern. He's always burping. You know Moe? No. No, we haven't heard of Moe.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Let's go. The little Gen Z know about Simpson. This will be your last chance to get two points out of five for the Gen Z quiz. In what decade was the Sky Tower built? I think I took your question. Sorry, Dan, that was your turn. That's a good one. Decade when the Sky Tower was built?
Starting point is 00:43:14 Yeah. Spanned over three years, but within the same decade? Yeah. 1800s. You are shitting me. The Sky Tower? The 1800s you are shitting me the sky tower the 1800s your mum is absolutely
Starting point is 00:43:30 like just so she's going when did I exactly go wrong when she was a toddler when she was a baby where did I go wrong 18 when 50 60 you have to guess the year 18
Starting point is 00:43:44 78 18 50, 60 years. You have to guess the year yet. 18. 1878. 18. Oh my God, I can't believe it. It was 1997. It's only been here for about 30 years. It was like five years before I was born or something. Not five years. It's made of mostly concrete.
Starting point is 00:43:58 I don't even think we had concrete in the 1800s. I'm happy with my one. Okay, you got your one. Get out. Get out of here. That's the typical score for a Gen Z. 1878. That was actually shocking. Sky Tower. 1878. Wow. Cash Draft back
Starting point is 00:44:12 in 20 minutes. I don't know if you understand what decades are. I think that's the bigger concern. Did you think the 90s were the 1900s? Yeah, I think that's what it was. Yeah, so you got century and decade mixed up. Honestly, then that's what's happened. Yeah, I'll talk to you off air about it, Lily. Not the 80s.
Starting point is 00:44:26 I think she meant the 80s. I'm going to give her that. It's important we learn from our mistakes. Clint, Meg and Dan on The Edge. Sitting on the show, we were doing an experiment as to how you can reheat pizza and make it taste as fresh as the time that it was delivered right to your door. Yes. And all it is is just dunking it in water and then chucking it in the air fryer.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Yeah, I told my husband about it last night because I said this is 100% how we're going to be doing our reheated pizza from now on. I'd love to know if anybody tries it at home with the air fryer 3343 message us. Let us know how it went. Yeah. But then once we were eating the pizza,
Starting point is 00:44:58 what we were shocked by is when Meg decided to pull out a random condiment and we weren't sure where from. I love that Meg's still eating it. She's putting some sauce on it. and Meg decided to pull out a random condiment, and we weren't sure where from. I love that Meg's still eating it. She's putting some sauce on it. Meg's got, Meg just pulled chilli sauce out of her handbag. Tabasco.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Who doesn't go around with Tabasco? We need to do a go through Meg's handbag tomorrow on the show, because that is wild. I love that you have it. Yeah, Tabasco sauce. Usually I'd take the piss out of you, Meg, for doing that, but I love the fact that you've got Tabasco in your bag. I know we sort of left it for a bit and then we it ended up coming up on the show again see there'll be a lot of people that are similar with Meg that have a nice sauce that
Starting point is 00:45:32 they've got in there like a salt and pepper even I love Tabasco so much put it on everything yeah do you just carry it around like what are you putting Tabasco sauce on everything everything like a muffin okay well obviously anything savory I put Tabasco on. Yeah, I love it. I love it so much. I love it so much. Well, I love that you do that. And then I just found out, Mick's got two handbags. Do you have two bottles of Tabasco? So you've got one for each bag.
Starting point is 00:45:52 And then one in the pantry. Bloody hell. You love it, don't you? You love Tabasco. Give it here. Let me see the bag. Let me go through it. The whole bag?
Starting point is 00:45:59 Yeah. It's rare, Clint, that you get to go through a woman's handbag, because they say men should never go through it. There's crumbs in there. Okay. That'll be from a snack that I gave to Daisy, my daughter. Oh my God, Clint, it you get to go through a woman's handbag because they say men should never go through it. There's crumbs in there. That'll be from a snack that I gave to Daisy, my daughter. Oh my God, Clint, it is messy. Look at that. Yeah, this is the backup.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Do you just throw everything in it? Sometimes. Oh, that gives me anxiety. Are you happy for me to pull out each item and go through them? Okay, here we go. First item. Some cleaning wipes that are all dried up and messy. They're not dried up.
Starting point is 00:46:22 If you're going to pull stuff out, don't lie. They're from Boots. Yeah. Once you have, once you become... They're not dried up. If you're going to pull stuff out, don't lie. They're from boots. Yeah. Okay. Once you have kids and you start the wet wipe life, you realise, oh my God,
Starting point is 00:46:31 like, even when the kids are old enough and they don't need them. She's got some Wonder Bond mascara from Rimmel. I need to throw that out. It's actually dried up and I've got centre.
Starting point is 00:46:39 That's her car keys for her Toyota Yaris. They're held together with sellotape. No, it's a Wits. A Wits. She's got some sunglasses that are caked in, like, makeup. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:50 I have lost the case for those, to be fair. She's got multiple pens. She's got a Vivid that obviously she uses to sign people's autographs. Don't worry, I've got one. Where do you want it? Your boob? All right. She's got lip balm Clint for her chapped lips.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Oh, no, that's just a lid. She's just got a lid, so the lip balm's gone missing. Okay, I don't know where that's gone. She's just got a singular lollipop. A dip-flam lollipop. Yeah, just when she's feeling a little bit, needs some sugar. What's this? That's a lip balm.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Another lip balm. This time this. Oh, that one's got a lid, though, so that's my go-to. Here's her ID, so you used to get into the building at MediaWorks at the edge. Oh, a vape pen. Yeah. Her Tabasco sauce. No, stop it, Clint. My Tabasco, that's necessity, essential.
Starting point is 00:47:33 So another, what's that? Oh, that's a dried up Kylie Jenner lipstick. This necklace. Oh, God, that's missing something. That's missing the thing. That's just the chain. Okay, that's just some sort of chain, right? Earring. I think that's a bum, bum body.
Starting point is 00:47:51 You got bum cream. Yes, finally. I was like, something good. Something weird. Something good. It's bum, bum body oil. That's actually very cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Bum, bum body oil. Yeah, which part of the body is that going on, Meg? That's a very cool thing to have, actually. Got to be brows and edges style fix. This is really disappointing. Not one dildo. Oh, my God. Last time we went through a bag, she had three of them in it.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Yeah, that's true. One for everything. And a face cleanser. Yeah, nice. So that's it. What weird stuff is in your handbag? For Meg, it's obviously the Tabasco sauce, regardless of which handbag you go through.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Is there something you're like, oh, God, I wouldn't want anyone to go through my handbag because they'd find what? Whenever you had potato chips in there, there's one flake of potato chip. Well, if it's still good, pass me the whole thing. I don't want to waste it. Have it with your lollipop.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Clint, Meg and Dan. Want to know what do you have in your handbag after Meg carries, we realise now, Tabasco sauce in both handbags. She's got separate bottles for separate bags. Yeah, I do feel a little bad because I did you guys a little dirty by not bringing my main bag that would have had like kids undies in it, nappies. God, I honestly don't even know what else with that bag would have had in it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:01 But you got my backup bag and found my Tabasco and I'm not alone. It looks like mostly women have called up to say that they also have had enough. Yeah. But you got my backup bag and found my Tabasco, and I'm not alone. It looks like mostly women have called up to say that they also have random items in their handbag, Olivia being one of them. Hi, Olivia. Morning, Olivia. Hey, morning. How are you?
Starting point is 00:49:14 Good. What are you rocking in your handbag that we'd be surprised about? I am rocking a small cup of Vegemite in my handbag. Nothing wrong with that. I reckon that's a great thing to have. What for?
Starting point is 00:49:26 Yeah. Do you like it? It's for my toddler just so whenever we're out if he needs, like, I can just buy buns or bread or crackers
Starting point is 00:49:32 or something and I've always just got the Vegemite when you go out for breakfast and you've got less than a cup. That's a good idea. If you're going to carry the Vegemite,
Starting point is 00:49:38 I feel like you've got to carry the buns because if you're going to go buy the crackers then you could put Vegemite on anything. Thanks, Olivia. Somebody's texting saying people laugh at my tape measure.
Starting point is 00:49:46 I have a tape measure in my other bag as well at all times. Another text, I have a craft knife to open packages. Always forget it's there when I'm going through security at the airport. Yeah, that looks dodgy. Andrea, what do you have in your handbag? So I actually have got a real, so I just had a look to see what else I've got. So I've got a G-string, a nappy,
Starting point is 00:50:03 and I've actually got a little container, and it's actually got a one-shot dose of pre-workout. Wow. Oh, you're great. Just some white powder in your bag and a little container. All good. A G-string, a nappy, and some pre-workout.
Starting point is 00:50:17 That's my idea of a good Saturday night. Yeah. Yeah, well, the G-string, I'm an early childhood teacher, and for me, it's always, you can wear someone else's pants, but you can never wear someone else's underwear. So, say if something happens at work, you know, you get spew, poo, something on you, I'll happily wear someone else's pants, but I'll need to have my own underwear underneath. That's a real projectile vomit if it gets through to your undies.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Are you looking at G-Banger looking after kids? Yeah, of course you can. Can you do that? Of course you can. Can you wear a G-Banger looking after kids? Yeah, of course you can. Can you do that? Of course you can. Can you wear a G-Banger looking after kids? You know, like, I'd imagine if I'm working with early childhood, you know, I'd go a bloomer. Why would you go a bloomer?
Starting point is 00:50:54 I don't know. It's just an assumption. You're not going to see her? Yeah, I know. Okay, let's go to Chris. It sounds like you don't know. No, I don't. Chris, what do you have in your handbag?
Starting point is 00:51:04 I have a two-year-old crumpled up biscuit in a pocket. That's funny. Someone else is texting you saying they had a Tim Tam from two years ago at the bottom of their handbag, just sitting there. We just empty it. I mean to, but I keep forgetting. Yeah, I get that. You never know when you've got a biscuit. I only took half a muffin out just the other day on this one.
Starting point is 00:51:24 They've got 3D glasses. Someone else says they have four bottles of bubble mixture. I don't have kids. They're just to biscuit egg. I only took half of them up and out just the other day on this one. You've got 3D glasses. Someone else has four bottles of bubble mixture. I don't have kids. They're just like bubbles. Funnily enough, it is all women. Although guys don't really have bags, do they? I think they should normalise a man bag. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Well, go on, Dan. You can do it. Yeah, I have a bag. You can go through it, but it's just mainly fitness gear. All right. Clint, Meg and Dan on The Edge with a share of $50,000
Starting point is 00:51:45 cash with the Edge Cash Trapped. Cash Trapped, very exciting Friday afternoon. Dan will be removing the vest and giving it to Harrison from Edge Afternoons and he's going to have a hell of a lot of cash strapped to him at Coronation Park in Mount Maunganui, 8am
Starting point is 00:52:03 this Friday. Hopefully he takes care of my little vest. I've got a bit attached to it. Now I've tightened it up as well. It's much more comfortable. It's quite loose fitting. Oh, and he's going to adjust all the settings. Alana is the lucky person this morning, definitely taking money from cash strapped.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Alana has gone back to complete the final year of her nursing studies. Study payments aren't enough at the moment to cover everything. Alana, how much money are you asking for? Hi, just $200. Anything's fine, really. Anything's fine. $200. And what would that cover you for,
Starting point is 00:52:34 just to kind of help top you up for a week or something? Yeah, maybe pay a couple of bills that I've got or just anything, really. Oh, you're not that picky. That's an easy one. At least once you've finished nursing, then that's when you start getting paid, right? Yeah. When you start getting rich. Oh, you're not that picky. That's an easy one. At least once you've finished nursing, then that's when you start getting paid, right? When you start getting rich.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Yeah, I hope so. That's what I've heard. Yeah, I hope so. All right, Alana, very impressed and proud that you're going back to do your nursing studies. I'm going to offer you $100 more than you want, $300. Make you generous. That's generous of you, actually.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Yeah, $300. It's $100 more than you even asked for, and now you can walk away and be happy with it because you're getting more than you wanted. Well, I don't know. Oh, no. You weren't expecting that, were you, Alana? Just think about it.
Starting point is 00:53:17 No. I mean, $300, what's that really going to get you? Like Clint says, you're going to be earning hundreds of thousands of dollars when you become a nurse. That is like lunch money for you when you finally graduate. Now, Alana, you're in a real tough spot. Dan's given away $1,000
Starting point is 00:53:32 and $1,300 at this time over the last two days. So would there be another big amount again, do you think? Or is Dan due to absolutely throw you like a fiver? You know what I mean? He hasn't had a low one in a while.
Starting point is 00:53:47 I would say it's due for a low one, personally. Yeah, I don't know. But then again... My advice would be to... It sounds like you're pretty cash-strapped. I would go with the $300 this time. This is the first time I think I've ever... I don't know what's in my vest! Oh my god, why is he saying that? That's freaking me out, Alana!
Starting point is 00:54:04 Why is he... Is he doing mind games here? I have absolutely no idea what's in my vest. Oh, my God, why is he saying that? That's freaking me out, Alana. Why is he doing mind games here? I have absolutely no idea what's in the vest. But today I'm going to support you, me. Okay, Alana. I don't like it. Okay. Decision's yours. You leave with money either way.
Starting point is 00:54:13 What do you want to do? You're going to take the $300, pay those bills, or risk it, go to Dan's money in his vest and possibly get double or more. I don't know what's in it. Okay. Well, I came on with nothing, so I may as well play and just see what Ben's offer is.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Okay. Okay. Okay. It's been good in the past. You didn't come on with nothing. You were given $300. You've handed that back. I'm reaching into the vest.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Yep. Good luck to you, Alana. You're not going home with nothing. You're going home with $15! Oh, no. I thought he was going
Starting point is 00:54:54 to say $100, $1500. No, there's no... No, it's just one five with no zeros. $15. Okay. That's all right. Sorry about that.
Starting point is 00:55:04 That's okay. I even went against the rules and gave him more. Okay, that's all right. Sorry about that. That's okay. I even went against the rules and gave him more. Okay. Thank you, Alana. Alana, the chances of Dan just going three days in a row with over $1,000 was unlikely. Oh, my God, that closed me. The good thing is, though,
Starting point is 00:55:18 that'll get you used to the salary hourly payment of a nurse. Oh. I think that's about what it is, isn't it? I can't believe Alfred Moore. Well, I'm never doing that again. Alright, we tried getting in touch with him an hour ago and he didn't pick up. It just went to answer phone.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Oh, not again, Clint. Give it up. You're not going to Vegas. Will promised me four months and four days ago after he won $5,000 worth of travel on this show, unprompted that he would take me with him to the first Warriors game in Las Vegas. It was his idea.
Starting point is 00:55:52 I said I didn't need to go business. He said, good, because you're not. You'll go economy. And I said, sweet as. We need to find out what the hell's going on, Will. I think he's just forgotten and gone anyway, without you. You think he's in Vegas. We'll call him again.
Starting point is 00:56:06 The time difference is good if he is. Clint, Meg and Dan. Alright, this should get us all completely up to speed as to what happened on the show back in October, something that was promised, that got put in the calendar as a reminder to make sure we brought it up this week. The date was October 22nd, 2024, when one of New Zealand's most honest and sincere men,
Starting point is 00:56:31 William, backed Clint's ability in an on-air challenge. And through no prompting of Clint, he stood tall on the top of a mountain and proclaimed what he would do if he won $5,000 worth of travel. Have you already decided where you're going to go in the world with $5,000? We can go together somewhere, can't we? Oh, get in if you win, me and you, boys trip.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Vegas, the Warriors. Oh my God, I've never wanted a listener to win a prize more than I want Wayne to win. And as fate would have it, the rugby league gods gods smiled on Will rewarding him with the travel and the boys trip he so publicly promised. Will, you're taking Clint to Vegas! Me and Will are gonna become best friends. I think I'll go business,
Starting point is 00:57:15 he can go economy, we'll go travel. Not even a seat in the last row of the plane and a small bag of cassava chips to last Clint. The 15hour journey could discourage this young Lifetime Warriors fan. Will had only one request. Has Clint got his Leaf Pass signed off? That is the biggest hurdle. Good thinking, Will.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Warriors in Vegas. Oh my God. Do it. Even Clint's wife was ecstatic for her husband to witness this once-in-a-lifetime sporting event. Yeah, of course. Like, go to Vegas and see the Warriors. How epic. With an unexpected radio silence from Will for four months and four days, since his generous promise, surely he wouldn't renege on such a public display of generosity? What a shit thing that would be to do. Will Will be a man of his word?
Starting point is 00:58:08 Or will we have to change Will's name to Won't? Okay, let's call him. Now you're up to speed. He didn't pick up at seven. Oh my goodness me. Come on Will.
Starting point is 00:58:27 He's screaming out calls. Good morning Will speaking. Will it's Clint, Meg and Dan here from the Edge buddy. How are you? Hey Will. Thank you. How are you? Where are you at the moment?
Starting point is 00:58:42 Well I'm actually in Auckland at the moment. Yeah same. This is good news. Do you have any inkling why we would be randomly calling you four months and four days after you won 5,000 airpoints? Thanks to Clint. No.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Well, probably wondering where I am, but the fact I'm still in Auckland may be a disappointment to you all. Well, it's a little... I'm very excited you'm still in Auckland may be a disappointment to you all. Well, it's a little... Hold on, there's still time. I'm very excited you're still in Auckland. Will, do you remember what you said you would do with your earpoints when you won?
Starting point is 00:59:14 It's a little bit hazy that time. Shall I remind you? Shall I remind you, Will? We can jog your memory. Yeah. Here we go. You said this. Have you already decided where you're going to go in the world with 5,000 air points dollars?
Starting point is 00:59:28 We can go together somewhere, should we? Get in if you win, me and you, boys trap. Vegas, the Warriors. Oh my God, I've never wanted a listener to win a prize more than I want Will to win. Now, Will. He sounds a little bit more mousy than he did that time. Now, Will. No, I can't.
Starting point is 00:59:43 I'm pleased you've re-jogged my memory, but clearly I'm going to have to get out of jail card here somehow. So can I describe the room at the moment? Well, there is a man, Clinton Randall, who was wearing a Warriors jersey, a Warriors hat, and had a big grin on his face when you answered his call and found out you were in Auckland because he thought that means you guys are still going. He's been hanging on to this day. He's got the work off from the boss.
Starting point is 01:00:08 Yeah. He's got the time off with his wife. Have you still got the airpoints or have you spent them? No, I've still got most of the airpoints. I actually have booked a small holiday at Labour Weekend, but the majority of them are still sitting there desperately looking for something to do. Yeah, well, hold on. Now you're just rubbing salt in the wound there, Will.
Starting point is 01:00:30 Yeah, that something to do could be you and Clinton Vegas this weekend. So you're not going either, Will, to the Vegas game? Look, I'm flexible. You're starting to lead me on a little bit here, Will. I need a solid answer. Is Clint going with you to the Warriors game in Vegas this weekend?
Starting point is 01:00:56 Unlikely. They didn't even wait for the end of the drum roll. Okay. All right. Okay. If I'm honest, this is exactly how I expected it would go, Meg. You know, most people, Will, you would think and go, well, I said that on the radio.
Starting point is 01:01:10 Clint will know I was joking. He hasn't heard from me for four months. Most people would be like that and think it's not happening. You don't know Clint Randall well enough. I also didn't want to be a naggy mate. He's a new mate. I don't want to nag on him. Have you messaged Will out of interest, Clint, since you last spoke to him?
Starting point is 01:01:25 Have you messaged your mate? I didn't want to nag him. That's why I thought I'd wait until... I think there lies the problem. I thought that the commitment was less from that side as well. Oh! I would argue that if Clint... When Clint says he'll do something, he does it, unfortunately. So Will,
Starting point is 01:01:41 last question. Will you change your name to Won't? Is that the surname or the first name? The first name. What's your last name, Will? It's a bit like Sheer, just one name. I'd rather not say on air, actually. Yeah, that's fair.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Okay, so just Won't as a first name. And he is the last. We can go with that. Okay, good. Because I've already changed it in our system. We'll leave you alone now, my friend. Thanks, Will. Up the wires, mate.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Hope they go bloody well in Vegas on Saturday. You and I will be watching from the couch. Clint, Meg and Dan on the Edge. On Wednesday, we love to go through the things that Dan has been searching on his phone, so he hands it over to Meg, and then she airs his dirty laundry to the country. The thing is, though, it's just a normal thing.
Starting point is 01:02:29 Everybody does this. What's in Dan's Google history? Is it sexy? Is it weird? Will it solve a great big mystery? Or just something you would fear? Okay, well, we do know this morning, if you've been listening from early hours, Dan was Googling bidet with a remote for a few times.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Yeah, I didn't realise that you could really buy bidets, cheap ones in New Zealand, but Bunnings Warehouse has one for $150. You just change your top toilet seat. Not the one with the remote, that's $500. That's $500. It's got heating, blowing, it does massage even. Yeah, something else we learnt this morning is that Dan is doing a comedy stand-up set this Saturday and is clearly a little worried about it, Clint. He Googled how to practice stand-up when there's no audience there
Starting point is 01:03:13 and is doing accents in stand-up frowned upon. Yeah, there's a couple of bits which I have omitted. I can't say. But there was one which required a bit of an accent of the neighbour that I live next to and I was going to impersonate them, but I don't know if I can do the particular accent. I do think you owe an apology to Lily, our producer
Starting point is 01:03:33 who's filling in at the moment, who did the Gen Z quiz because you had to Google the Ninja Turtle names, which was one of the questions that millennials should have known the answer to. Yes. Yes, and I will admit, I don't know. I know Michelangelo. Clint, I know. Michelangelo's the party to. Yes, yes. And I will admit, I don't know. I wouldn't. I know Michelangelo. Clint, I know. Michelangelo's the party dude.
Starting point is 01:03:48 And Donatello. Which one likes pizza? Well, they all like pizza, but Michelangelo the most. Wait, so, okay, Raphael, what weapon does he have? Nunchucks. No, that's Michelangelo. Raphael has the, like, the little forks. I feel like you need to know if you're going to quiz.
Starting point is 01:04:04 What weapon does Donatello have? I don't know. I don't care. Ninja Turtles, it's so unbelievable that they're overgrown teenage mutant Ninja Turtles. Superman's more believable. Okay, what else have we got? What was Dan googling? Where to keep
Starting point is 01:04:20 a will, which by the way, it's online, so you don't need to keep it, hide it anywhere in your house. Or your lawyer can hang onto it. Cheap will, cheapest will, and, by the way, it's online, so you don't need to keep it, like, hide it anywhere in your house. Or your lawyer can hang on to it. Cheap will, cheapest will, and then what do I put in will? I'm happy to say it's fine if you haven't put me and Dan in it, if you're looking at the... We're looking at doing wills. What did Megan and I get?
Starting point is 01:04:36 Anything? I'll leave you something. What is it? 30% off $29.99. You Googled that three times in a row. Oh, yeah, because they had some... Red dot sale. Yeah, there was 30% off all men.99. You Googled that three times in a row. Oh, yeah, because they had some... Red dot sale. Yeah, there was 30% off all men's underwear at Red Dot.
Starting point is 01:04:48 You can't work out 30% off $30. Yeah, why can't you do that? 30% off. Is it $10 off? No, nine. Because you just do 10% of 30, which is three, and then times it by three to get 30%. Why use your brain when you can bypass that and go to Google?
Starting point is 01:05:03 You Googled, how many apples can you eat in one day? Short shorts for men. And this one is the most concerning. You actually Googled on a Saturday night, do lesbians... Oh, that's an above board thing. I just wanted to know. The lesbian's peak. Daniel!
Starting point is 01:05:28 That's it, that's enough. You're a very naughty man, aren't you? Apparently it's not called that for them. Okay, so. Anyway, What You Watch on Wednesday is coming up next. Discovered my new favourite TV show that I must have missed when it came out years and years ago. And now I am obsessed. Headlines in three.
Starting point is 01:05:48 What are you going to do now? They do it when they hang up the washing machine. Clint, Megan, Dan. Clint, Megan, Dan. What you're watching. Always watching. Alright,
Starting point is 01:05:57 I discovered this on social media. An old clip just doing the rounds from, I didn't realise this was a full blown TV show on TLC back in the day.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Oh, my favourite. My favourite. I used to watch Extreme Hoarders. I used to watch this one, Extreme Cheapskates. What else did I watch? I mean, it was just a plethora of rubbish TV and I loved it. Yeah, I think that was when reality TV peaked
Starting point is 01:06:24 in that sort of era. Absolutely. What else was there? There were other ones that were all extreme something, but Extreme Cheapskates was my favourite. Yeah, and it's on Apple Plus where you can actually watch old episodes of it. And I went in a deep dive just watching things that people will do to try and save money.
Starting point is 01:06:39 When is enough enough? Where the extreme cheapskate behaviour justifies the actual saving. Because a lot of them aren't saving that much. There's a lot of people out there that, they're not even poor, but they just love saving money. Obsessed with it. It probably gives them some sort of endorphin in the same way that when you spend money, a lot of people get endorphins.
Starting point is 01:07:00 They get it from saving. Here's a guy who's got a mouthwash container, and then another mouthwash container next to it that's empty and this is what he does the roberts family saving money means more than careful budget tracking it's reducing costs in every way possible it just seemed like such a waste to only use mouthwash once when it's antiseptic anyways. There's 30 uses in that big mouthwash and about 30 cents a use. But if I reuse it a second time, that gets it down to 15 cents a use because I'll have 60 uses. Oh, that's disgusting.
Starting point is 01:07:38 Yeah, you can't see what's going on. He's taking fresh mouthwash, swishing it around, and he's spitting it in an empty container. And then once one of them is now, now the spitting container is full and the other one's empty, he'll go use it again
Starting point is 01:07:50 and do it back. I don't know how many times he goes back and forth. Oh, so he's filling up the spitting container until that's full then starting on it. He's not doing it
Starting point is 01:07:57 the next day just as previous spitting. No, then he'll take the spitting container and then he'll put that in the other one so he can get 60 uses like you heard instead of 30. I saw a woman once would use the other one so he can get 60 uses like you heard.
Starting point is 01:08:05 I saw a woman once would use the hair that had fallen out of her head as her floss because she was like, it's free and it does the same thing. Here's another lady who only pays for what she eats in a supermarket, which you think makes sense until you realise what she's doing. When I buy fruits and vegetables, I want to pay for what I eat, not for what I don't eat. There's no need to pay for the vine if all I'm eating is the grapes.
Starting point is 01:08:28 My bananas, I'm not going to eat the whole of the banana. I eat the banana itself. By removing the peels, pits, and stems from fruits and vegetables before they're weighed at the register, Stephanie saves up to $3 per shopping trip. But that's, I'd say that's illegal. Isn't it? Why is it illegal? Where's the law saying you can't peel a banana and then put it through the... Because they've been valued at that weight.
Starting point is 01:08:54 So you could get more bananas like if you peel the... because the skin of a banana is actually quite heavy compared to the banana. So you could get like six bananas for the price of three. But imagine how rank a banana is in this plastic bag by the time she gets home. True.
Starting point is 01:09:08 She'd have to be eating them that day. Yeah. Otherwise they'll be all disgusting. Or alien mandarins. Extreme cooperners. I told you extreme cooperners was another one that I loved. I loved that one. People would do these huge shops and then end up getting paid
Starting point is 01:09:20 for their groceries because they knew how to coupon so well. Oh my God, there's extreme addictions. I'm addicted to eating my mattress. Yes, that one too. So a lot of them were people would eat the vacuum dust and stuff and eat mattresses. I watched all of them. Curtains. My beautiful wife, Hannah, she's not one of these people.
Starting point is 01:09:37 She's not quite as extreme, but she reuses tea bags every now and then. Like she'll have a tea and then she'll go, it's still fine. She'll fill it up again, the same tea bag instead of getting a new one. Okay, I want to know who is the extreme cheapskate in your life? Let us know. Dob them in. What are they doing to save a couple of bucks here and there? And it's gotten out of control.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Even worse, I think, if you're with them. And you're like, oh, because then now their habits have to become your habits. Because I imagine you drive each other crazy if you're living differently. All right. Who's the extreme cheapskate in your life? What are they doing to save a few bucks? Clint, Meg and Dan
Starting point is 01:10:09 on The Edge. It's Clint, Meg and Dan's Whatcha Watchin'? Always Watchin'. Clint has just discovered a 14-year-old show. You can still watch it on Apple+.
Starting point is 01:10:19 It's called Extreme Cheapskates and it follows people who are extremely cheap and do things that are out of the ordinary to try and save money. I feel like it's worth watching it now to get some tips because of the cost of living, getting as much more than it was in 2011 when it was released. The trick is peeling bananas and then just weighing the actual white flesh of the fruit
Starting point is 01:10:39 in a plastic bag, I think, is too far. That's extreme. Very extreme. But who's the extreme cheapskate in your life? We've got some texts coming through. My mum, who actually passed away, would take us to McDonald's to get us to ask for the tomato sauce packet so we could refill the bottle at home.
Starting point is 01:10:53 But how much is in those little sachets? You'd have to have like 100 of them to fill up one tomato sauce. I feel like my mum would do something like that. My mum's quite cheap too. She just loves a bargain. She's quite frugal. And those people that have a shower, but then they have
Starting point is 01:11:05 a bucket underneath them so then they can use that water to go water plants. I used to work with a man who one time I remember the boss,
Starting point is 01:11:12 we'd had a really busy morning on here, like a crazy busy morning. It was a big promotion that we were doing and he said, I'll shout everybody coffees at the end
Starting point is 01:11:18 of the show. Generous. And he gave out his boss card to this person who went and bought everybody's coffees but then came back with five bucks for himself
Starting point is 01:11:27 because he didn't want a coffee so he just got out $5 cash. Brilliant. That's so cheap. You're saying who wants a coffee, not who wants money to the value of, you know. So he asked the cafe, he was like, five coffees please
Starting point is 01:11:39 and then $5 cash out. Unbelievable. Yeah, and he's like, well, what's the difference? The boss said he would pay for my coffee which is worth $5 and I didn't feel like a coffee, I'll take the $5 out cash. And $5 cash out, yeah. Unbelievable. Yeah, and he's like, well, what's the difference? The boss said he would pay for my coffee, which is worth $5, and I didn't feel like a coffee, I'll take the $5. But the boss was paying for coffees, not money.
Starting point is 01:11:51 That's like going at a bar going, hey, who wants another round? And then going, no, I'll just have 15 bucks though. It's like, what? No. With that same person we're talking about, he used to go to Burger King because it was down the road from his house
Starting point is 01:12:03 just to use the Wi-Fi. Yeah. So he'd save on Wi-Fi. Hayley, morning. Morning, how are you? Morning, we're great. Are you the cheapskate? Well, actually I kind of am. I've definitely got frugal tendencies. But it stems from my mum who is probably the biggest cheapskate I know.
Starting point is 01:12:25 And I do love her for that. She's taught us a lot from her ways. What did she do? Give us a couple of the big things. The biggest thing, and it's still a current thing, is definitely her phone. She has always had our old phones, you know, when we upgrade. So currently she's on an iPhone 6, which probably can't update any further. But that's fine because she doesn't use the apps and doesn't have 4G and doesn't use the internet or anything.
Starting point is 01:12:52 So she's been on a prepaid, I don't even know if you can call it a plan, it's just prepaid with one of the companies. And so she tops up $5 a year. And once that runs out, that's it. $5 a year? So it gets to like October and you're like, you're never getting a call from mum.
Starting point is 01:13:09 You don't get a text back. I just double-text. I haven't had a text or a phone call from her since September because she ran out of credit. Oh, my goodness. Oh, wow. That's incredible. $5.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Mum needs to live her life. Let's go to Niamh. Niamh, is it your parents' house that are cheap skies? Yeah, most definitely. The most frugal people you've probably ever met. Okay, what are they doing? It's fun when you bring people around. They've got ice cream containers or bowls in their sink
Starting point is 01:13:39 to catch all the water when you wash your hands. And then they use that water and they put it in the cistern to flush the toilets and things. Oh, this is full extreme water when you wash your hands. And then they use that water and they put it in the cistern to flush the toilets and things. Oh, this is full extreme water. Oh, my God. Do you think it's more about being, like, eco-friendly than money-friendly, or is it about money? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Yeah, they go both ways, but they're very eco. Wow. They're very, you know, composting and all that sort of stuff. And I also see... Another good one... Yeah, go on. Sorry. Another good one is mum has, like, you know, washing gloves, the plastic ones.
Starting point is 01:14:06 And when she's finished with those, she'll cut off the arms a bit, and that's her elastic bands to keep, like, bags fresh and things, you know, chips. Oh, she'll cut them up into, like, little rubber bands. She could do her own TikTok channel. Is it correct that your mum orders hot water at a cafe but then just takes out one of the coffee tubes that you buy from the supermarket and adds that in if you're going out for coffee? Yep.
Starting point is 01:14:26 Oh, my. Incredible. I love it. I love it. Is she all right, though, Niamh, if you're spending money? Like if you go to a cafe and you're like, I'm paying, then she splurges? Or it doesn't matter who's paying, she just won't spend anyone's money? Doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:14:40 The tube is definitely what she wants to have. I mean, I guess if she's happy doing it, fine. But it's just, wow. Actually, we might have to come back to this. We've got more texts and calls, but we've run out of time. So we'll have to try and see if there are more cheapskates. Have a think if this has inspired something that your parents do. Because there might just be one thing that you go,
Starting point is 01:14:59 I could actually try that. Whereas a lot of them are just like, nah, life's too short. Life's too short to be catching the water that you wash your hands with and then pouring it on the top of your system so you don't have to flush and use fresh water. What a chore that is. I guess it would clean it because it would be a bit soapy. Time is money.
