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. Damn, what the f... Hot.

This is The Edge Breakfast with Clint, Meg and Dan. Morning. Just about 6am this morning. Clint, Meg and Dan. Clint is away today. Unfortunately, you've got Cal filling in. Welcome, Cal.

Oi, nice to be here. Yeah, how many times have you done this with us before? I think only like a couple times. Yeah. When I found out yesterday, I was talking to my husband and I found out yesterday

it was just going to be me and Dan, I burst out laughing. I literally burst out laughing. And Guy was like, you'll be fine. And I was like, yeah, I know, but

it's me and Dan are so... Can you imagine? Can you imagine? I insisted it wouldn't just be us. I said, we can't be together, just

us. It'll be either amazing or a nightmare, but at the end we'd go, what the hell happened? I think we'd think it was amazing.

We'd go, shit, man, we did a great job. And then the management, they'll come in and go, you're both fired. Yeah, we don't need cleanse at all.

What the hell was that? I feel like it'd be, you know, a bit of, not a train wreck, but I'll do my best. We'll see how we go. No, you'll be fine.

You'll be fine. I will say this, Cal's already had McDonald's. Yeah, and he didn't buy enough to share. Excuse you. The first thing I said was, would you like my hash brown? And did you...

Actually, you have saved me some. It's okay. I have. Well, nothing for me, so not off to a good start. All right, well, we've got a coffee catch-up coming up next. We're just going to go around the room,

catch up a little bit, see what we got up to in the past 24 hours. Yeah, actually, I want to see if Dan had any sort of interesting afternoon. Oh, God, no. No? No, although there is something I want to chat to Cal about next. And it's time for a bit of a coffee catch-up. When we say we'd like to catch up over the last 24 hours, we haven't really seen Cal in a while.

Yeah. In a matter of weeks, I haven't really spoken to you, Cal. Yeah. Yeah, I get to luckily speak to Cal maybe once a day. I know you two are besties. Yeah, yeah. You're always messaging. Yeah.

But I don't message. And I wanted to chat to Cal about his current thing that he's doing. And I don't know if it's a thing you're consciously doing, but he's become a bit of an influencer with Lego. Oh, can you tell them that please? Because I love Lego. Lego's like my thing. I love it. It's never been your thing.

As far as I've known you, I've never seen you make Lego. I've got a garage full of Lego. You don't have a garage? Unbuilt. Okay, a garden shed. It's in my garden shed. It's in my garden shed. It's in my garden shed. There's a little plastic container.

When I say a little one, it's quite big. And it's got a Millennium Falcon Star Wars in there that's unopened. Stop. Stop. This is Producer Nipia's favourite. He's dreamed of having this for so long. Number one on my bucket list, Millennium Falcon Star Wars Lego. Someone gave it to me because they didn't want it.

They were gifted it. Okay, so you never even spent any money on Lego. What's your next thing? Yes. And I've got another X-Wing which is half made up. Stop! Star Wars X-Wing.

So unfinished. Yes, because I started it and then I got distracted. But I want to, you know, I want to sit down and like do it properly. You should come over to mine and we can just have

like a Lego day. Oh my God, could we? Yes, 100%. I'm currently building the Spider-Man Daily Bugle set. Cal, how much money have you spent on Lego in the past six months? Let's not talk about it. How much do you honestly think?

It's a thousand, isn't it? Yeah, maybe two. Oh God, Cal, your parents are going to be so disappointed. The only person who lives with Cal is pointing to the sky to go up, up, up, up, up, up, up. More than a thousand. Plenty more. Look, I have a money problem. I recognise

it, but I'm not ready to tackle it yet. Yeah, yeah. The good thing is it makes you happy, though. That's the thing, you know? And you know what? To be fair, when I started buying it, I thought in my head, like, it's an investment because Lego will want to work with me because I'm posting videos about it. And then I was told by my agency that they only work with families.

So now I need to have a kid. Oh, they only work with families. You can borrow mine if you want. Yeah, absolutely. My one-year-old loves Lego. Yeah. It's so funny, though, with your spending. It's like I kind of say, I salute you.

Sure, we could sit here and say, go and save money for a house or save or invest in this. But I'm at the point that I don't have any expendable spending. Is that the word, expendable? I think you've sort of nailed it, yeah. Meaning, like, I can't just go out and buy Lego because I want to. And I'm jealous of that. And that will go one day when you do get a family. That's what I'm thinking, you know.

Disposable income. I'm mid to late 20s now. I feel like at some point I will start settling down. But at the moment, let's just... Don't now. I'll tell you this. Currently the Lego is making you happy. What will bring you down to earth is crippling Lego debt.

And I think that's what will happen eventually if you keep spending the way you're doing. What's the latest set you just bought, Cal? I bought the Avengers Tower. Okay, you've got a problem. You've got a problem. This is where we get to know you every morning

if you haven't heard this bit before, which Cal is one of those people. There's a little intro there. Yeah. Oh, is there? And it goes... I was, can I get, get, get to know you, know, know, know, know you better. Can I get, get, get to know, know, know, know you better, better, baby. I want to get to know you.

I preferred it when Meg was doing it acapella. I thought it wasn't too bad. This morning we are getting to know Emily. Emily is 22 years old. She works as a nurse, drives the Sabaru Legacy. She is a Leo slash Virgo, which I'm guessing means you're on the cusp, Emily. Yeah, it is. Okay. Her nickname is Nozzy because her last name is Norris.

Nozzy, Nozzy, Nozzy. And she is single and ready to mingle. Okay. How long have you been single to get to the point of ready to mingle? Yeah. Yeah. How long does it take? So have you been single for a long time or are you newly single?

Oh, that could be my question. A couple months. Oh, only a couple months. So she's ready to make it. Okay, okay, okay. Okay, the question this morning, Cal, this is how we play. Oh, okay. I ask a question and then we all have to answer of what we think Emily will say

and then Emily tells us at the end who was closest. Fun. Okay. So, okay, Emily, you stay there. We're going to discuss your love life now. She's been single for two years, 22 years old. Why'd it end? Yeah.

Why'd it end? Okay. I'm going to say 22. I'm going to say two months ago, if she's single and ready to mingle already, did they or did she? Did they or did she? They maybe did something dumb,

and she was like, it's over finally. I think it was like an on-off, on-again situation. And that's why she's single and ready to mingle, because what they did was kind of annoying, and she's like, you know what, it's over. It's over, and I'm ready already. Okay, I think that Emily, there wasn't necessarily something that did it.

I think that there was just not going anywhere. She was kind of like, what are we? What are we doing with our lives? He wasn't willing to say that. And Emily ended it. And Emily ended it. Yeah, she was sick of it. She was sick of not going anywhere.

All right, well, Kyle, you've kind of got dumped left. Okay. Well, I wasn't actually going to say that. I was going to say, I feel like, you know, still young, working as a nurse. Maybe it's her first year as a nurse. She could have been in uni while she was going to say. I feel like, you know, still young, working as a nurse. Maybe it's her first year as a nurse. She could have been in uni while she was with this person. I reckon maybe

they were going separate places. She was going to, what, Dunedin for work. He must have been going to Auckland. Maybe they met at uni going separate ways

kind of thing. Yeah. And he dumped you. Oh, okay. Who's closest? Emily, who's closest? It was actually the last guy. Oh, Cal.

Cal's the last guy. Well done. Nice, Cal. Nice for you. So Emily's in Dunedin and studying different ways, and he broke up with you. No, I broke up with him, but we're still like best friends. Just different places.

Not the right time. An amicable breakup. Oh, how wonderful to hear that that can still happen. Do you think you'll get back together in the end? I wouldn't be opposed to it. Hey! Oh, my God. Keeping the doors.

Well done, Emily. That's exciting. I always take my hat off to someone that can break up and have an amicable situation where you're still friends. Very mature. I couldn't do it. I've heard that if you break up and there isn't any hard feelings, it's because you're still in love with each other.

Oh, yeah. Emily. Echo, perhaps. Congratulations. We're going to send you some Zed coffees. You can have some this week, okay? It's on us. Awesome.

Thank you so much. Have a good day. You too. I love that she referred to Cal as the last guy. The last one. Whoever spoke last, that one. It's definitely not Clint. It's whoever that is. Cal as the last guy. The last one. Whoever spoke last, that one. It's definitely not Clint. It's whoever spoke last.

It's the last guy there. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. Clint, Meg and Dan scandal. Scandal is thanks to New World. New World's Wonderful Wednesdays. Find your wonderful. Taco Bell held a keynote event where people got to find out what was coming up with their menu. What's going on with Taco Bell as a whole.

Doja Cat showed up. She turned up to an opening of a bloody whatever. Didn't she sing a song? What was that? I thought she did sing a song for a fast food restaurant. Doja Cat at one point. She had a song, I'm a cow. No.

Of course she played it. Did she sing a song for Tiger Bell? I'm going to have to look into that because maybe that makes sense. But they did. They honoured their discontinued products in a memoriam segment, just like the Oscars.

Right. People would just sit in silence and look at this big screen and they brought up photos of their old products. Oh, that's quite funny. I like this. Yeah, and then they announced their upcoming chicken nuggets as well

during the event. The thing that I found really interesting, I don't know if they'll bring over here to New Zealand because we do have a few Taco Bells. Yeah, there's a few, but they haven't hit as mainstream as your Maccas and stuff. No way, no way. They might be planning to, but have a listen to what he says and I'll explain more if needed. If you are a loyalty member, you get to go into the app, and you get to name your thing, Paul. You get to name the Paul's Beefy Crunch Burrito.

And here's the cool part about that. When people buy Ashley's thing or Paul's thing, we're going to try to hook you up with some rewards. Does that sound fun? Okay, get ready for fan style. We're dropping that later this summer. So, so at one point, if I reckon I've nailed

the meal deal at Taco Bell and what I order is like, this is what you need with this specific drink and this sauce and this side

and people go, I want the Megan, then I get either points or money back. Yeah, that's a really good thing. Isn't it smart? Because I have a friend

and this is actually real. Oh, you have a mate? He thinks he came up with, yeah, well, that's maybe the most unbelievable part of the story. He thinks he came up with the chicken Big Mac. So he used to, for like 10 years before the chicken Big Mac came out, he was getting a double patty. Yeah, he'd swap out the beef patties for a chicken. Wow. And then suddenly, 10 years later, they start doing the chicken Big Mac.

I think I started that with a triple cheese. Oh, really? It never used to be. From memory, I don't think it used to be on the menu, but I always used to ask for a double cheeseburger and an extra patty and an extra cheese, please. So you owe money, Cal. I know.

I know, and Taco Bell might be doing that. I thought it was really cool. I mean, it will be pittance to them. It will be probably just points that you eventually get like free Taco Bell into your account. But I still think

it's really cool because it just means we're doing the advertising for them because we'll just post about it and be like, buy my meal deal. It's interesting

because Taco Bell is everywhere in America. Like, every corner, every petrol station you go to there's a Taco Bell. I want that for New Zealand. Yeah. Well, now you know you can make some money

out of it. Yeah, definitely. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. It is time for Surprise Fries. We have $4,000 worth of prizes to give away to celebrate the return of Macca's Surprise Fries this week. We're giving you the opportunity to choose. Take the instant $100 cash or you can peel a

sticker from our in-studio board to reveal a prize. It's like choosing. It's always fun to choose, isn't it? What's this? Have a choice. This new little... Turn this up.

Oh, I like this. Oh, actually, this is quite fun. Is this one of yours, Cal? Yeah, this is what I use on the edge nights every night. This is what we call a bed, by the way, in Radio Land. We play this music underneath when we talk, and this is new to us. Don't try and sleep on it. It's very uncomfortable. Tina joins us from Christchurch.

Morning, Tina. Morning, guys. Morning, Tina. Okay, you've got a chance to take $100. I'll give it to you right now. Thanks, the Maccas. Or you can choose to peel the surprise prize board. I can do that for you, and you can win something underneath. You just don't know

if it's going to be, you know, only kind of average or kind of good. Can I say something, Tina? I feel like since yesterday was the Werther's Originals. It's going to be good today. I feel like it'd be good

because, you know, it's like we can't have two bad ones in a row at the start of it. Amy and Tina. So I would take the rest. All right. I mean, I come with nothing

and I love a good surprise. Exactly. So I go with the surprise. Okay. Okay, here she goes. So, Meg, off you go. Peel away. It's a big M, by the way, the McDonald's logo.

And she's peeling right now, Tina. Oh, wow. And I'll tell you what. Oh. Tina, it's a $500 Mecca voucher. Come on! Wow, thank you, Mama. Oh, my God.

That's going to be amazing to spend. How exciting. Do you know what's so good about having a voucher versus money? Money, you could be like, oh, I've got $500. I could spend it in Mecca, but maybe I should spend it on other things. Yeah, and you start thinking, I should save $200 of it. You're forced to spend this all on makeup and hair and skin products now. Yeah.

Oh, I'm so jealous. Well done, Tina. You can go and get some Emolution. Thank you much guys really appreciate it you're welcome tina you can get some kills oh god i don't know if they sell kills and make it let me do the brands oh okay shiseido all right well your next chance to play is same time tomorrow morning cheers to macca's surprise prize surprise prize is back at McDonald's. And coming up next, what do you reckon you have the biggest of in the country? I've got an idea. Oh, Cal.

Okay, Cal. You're sitting in the seat. Lego collection. Your nose is fine. You're in the seat of Clint Randall. Lego collection is what I was going to say. You're doing a fantastic job as well, Cal. Well done.

Thank you very much. You only stuffed up about twice, which is really good. The US, the American Fish and Wildlife Service, is reminding pet owners not to release their goldfish into waterways. I'm guessing meaning flushing down the toilet. That's horrible. Who's doing that? I know.

I never understood that. Even when they had passed away, I never got the flush down the toilet thing. I was just burying my deceased pets. We have a goldfish in our flat, and it was eating other fish, so we banished it to the ice bath. It's been in there for seven months. It is thriving. No one's feeding it, so it must just be eating

algae and stuff. Should I be talking about this? It's not animal abuse. It's thriving. It feels like it, as long as it's thriving. And it's literally grown, like twice the size of a normal goldfish. They grow in their surroundings, goldfish, so if you put them in a small yeah, as long as it's thriving. And it's literally grown, like twice the size of a normal goldfish. They grow in their surroundings, goldfish.

So if you put them in a small thing, they won't grow any bigger. But then if you put them in a massive surrounding, they grow to a... Oh, that'd be wild. Yeah, I have a goldfish that I have had since 2011. Jesus. That's way... 14 years old. No joke.

I know people will think it's not true. I got it when I was an intern in Queenstown after I did broadcasting school because I was feeling very lonely. His name is Blue. And then I drove him up from Queenstown and got him on the ferry and everything and took him home.

How was it when you turned a corner with the water in the tank? It was not fun. I tell you what, it was a real adventure for me and Blue. It's interesting because I've just googled average lifespan of a goldfish, 10 to 15 years. Oh no, he's going to die this year.

Oh my god, you could have added a few years. Sorry, that's actually gone. See ya. Dan! So he's going to die this year. Unless he's a medical marvel. It has said here that some goldfish have lived to 60.

Far out if he lives to 60. But the reason we're talking about this is because they said they found this gigantic goldfish in their waterways because somebody had flushed them down the toilet. But yeah, my fish is huge. I would easily say okay, I'm trying

to think of how people at home can imagine how big my fish is. If I hold my palm out, it definitely goes up to my wrist. Yeah, right. What? If I was to have my wrist next to him. God, that's a big fish. I'll get a photo of him. Yeah.

I mean, it's a big fish. I mean, as well, you say it's cruel to flush a goldfish right down the toilet. You know when they're starting to die? You know, they start swimming on their side. But what a way to go. That's like going to Wet n' Wild and going down one of the best hydroslides in the world. The only problem is you land in shit.

I don't know, if I was passing away and my husband put me down a Zoom tube, I wouldn't be stopped. No, it's still a cruel thing to do. Very, very cruel. Depends whose toilet you flush. If it went down mine, oh my God, that would not be fun. Oh God.

Oh God. Maybe a very clean one. But yeah, they're saying don't flush your goldfish down the toilet because they can turn into megalodon goldfish if they are left to just breed in their surroundings. I know that there was a pandemic. I don't know if it was a couple of years ago. There was turtles in Auckland because people had –

obviously someone had flushed a turtle down the toilet and they'd started – trust me, Google it. And the turtles had started thriving in the sewer system in Auckland. I think it was on the North Shore. I thought you were about to start talking about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Oh, no, that does sound like the premise of a game. Are you sure? No, I swear on my life, there was turtles in the sewerage system on the North Shore,

I think in Lake Takapuna. How long away? Wairau Park. Turtles invade Auckland City waterways 2015. See? I told you. How have you remembered that story? I just remember it being a thing and people were finding turtles all over the place.

And they weren't of the ninja variety. No, no, no. That's good. We want to know, what do you think you have the biggest of in the country? Maybe you've got a collection, the biggest goldfish. Anything else? No, because we know that belongs to Clint Randall and he isn't here to defend himself.

And I don't think we've really scientifically proven that either. There's no way to do it. Clint's one. Clint's record. I would say it must be top 0.1%. Carl, our producer? Yeah, I've worked with Clint for several years and also been camping with him.

I've seen it. There's so much excess there that I think there's such a massive benefit of the down. It's definitely the biggest in the country. It absolutely is. Remember, I have seen him running away nude from me and I saw it on either side of his thigh from behind. Okay.

That is the truth. There was enough to go around for both of us. I don't have enough and he's got too much. Okay, okay. Anyway, we're not talking about that. It's a megalodon. What do you have the biggest of? It could be a collection or something.

You can give us a call 0800 EDGE or TEXAS 3343. Yep. We want to know if you think you've got the biggest of something in New Zealand. That's because there was a giant megalodon goldfish found in the US waterways. And they're saying, please don't flush your goldfish down the toilet because this is what happens if they're not actually deceased. It's sad that we're having to say that, right? That you shouldn't be flushing an animal down the toilet.

Yeah. I know, that's a horrible, horrible thing to do. Lots of texts coming through on this. My dad died last year and he had the biggest collection of lighters in Australasia. Wow. Lighters? So I'm guessing they're like Bic lighters. Oh God, they do have

Lots of different colours and stuff I always wonder why they bothered Because who cares I care I need a collection of lighters Yeah What do you mean I was like a light blue lighter

Oh really Do you always pick the lighter Because I used to work At a petrol station It used to piss me off Because the lighters Were behind the counter And people would ask for a lighter

And I'd just pick the one That was closest And the workers always go like Can I have a blue one Or a red one It's like what does the colour matter? Really? I wouldn't go out of my way to say, oh, no, I don't want that one.

But if they're standing, if they're on the countertop, I'll say, hey, can I have that blue one? Wow. Okay, so we're looking to... Yeah, Vivian's text her as well. We had a guy at our school who had size 16 feet at age 17. That is incredible. And she said after that we used to call him Bigfoot. What an original name

I have a friend of mine who his only security system is just leaving his shoes outside his front door because he's got such large feet that like I'd be intimidating

one look at them and you're like I'm not going in that house and it's true it's true that's brilliant this one's similar to the LMP guy

you were talking about Meg my grandad has the biggest collection of Victorian bitter beer memorabilia t-shirts hats

shorts chilli bins, even a duvet cover. Oh, VB, I know what that looks like. Yeah, duvet. Yeah, duvet cover. Could you imagine going, like, you go over to a guy's house for a hook-up and you see the bed and it's just VB. It would be, and I'm not trying to be an arsehole to that person, but it would be very

hard to, like, reel it around. Although, yeah, I mean, it's just impressive, I think, especially if you're younger and you go around to any guy's house and he's got, like, a reel it around. Yeah, although, yeah, I mean, it's just impressive, I think, especially if you're younger and you go around to any guy's house and he's got like,

a duvet at all, not just a mattress on the floor. Yeah. Okay, let's go to Georgia. Oh, 800.

Oh, actually, let's go to Brooklyn first. Brooklyn, what do you think you've got the biggest of in New Zealand? Um,

hello. Hello. Hello. Um, I've got a cat and he's 18 kilos. Oh, yes. Yes, I've just looked up. I've got a cat and he's 18 kilos. Oh, yes. Yes, I've just looked up the average weight for a cat and it's about just under 10 kilograms.

So anything over 16 kilograms is morbidly obese. Oh, my God. Oh, the poor thing. Is he on a diet? He is now. Yeah. But he's also just like a really big boned cat. Like he's a normal cat.

He's not like a mancoon or anything. It feels like he can't be a big boned cat. Big boned. Feels like he's a big boned cat. Whatever helps you sleep at night, Brooklyn. Big boned covered in meat and gravy. He's got a bit of fat, but it's quite funny because his mum's only like, we've got his mum at home as well

and she's only porky alone. Wow, yeah. It've got his mum at home as well and she's only four kilos. Wow, yeah. It sounds like he's been eating her food because she's underweight. She's like that little shimmy hat. And he's over. He's quite old though. Oh, bless her. He's like 16 or something.

They might be passing away around the same sort of time. The average age of a cat is 17. Oh, God. Stop telling people that animals are going to pass away. We've also got Georgia. Morning, Georgia. Hi guys, how are you?

We're good. Georgia, what do you think you've got the biggest collection of? I think I've got the biggest boyfriend. Okay, in terms of height? Yeah, height, sorry. How tall is your boyfriend? He's 6.5. height, sorry. How tall is your boyfriend? He's 6.5. Oh, 6.5!

Georgia, does he do the thing where he puts his shoes outside and that's the only security system you need? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You see a pair of shoes belonging to somebody who's 6'5 and you're not going into that house. Yeah. It's a great trick. That's incredible.

Can you not say that to excuse me? Oh, God. Go on. Oh, you not say that to me? Oh, God. Go on. Oh, you're just going to... Also, I want to ask, how tall are you, Georgia? Are you little yourself? Are you average? Yeah, I'm quite short.

What is it with short girls getting the tallest guys? How does that work logistically as well? It's a certain thing. He's very tall. I'm just looking at average height of basketball players. Stephen Adams, for instance, New Zealand basketball player. He's 6'11". Isn't that incredible?

6'11". Damn. I'm about 6'3". So look at me and then add a little bit more. Shut up, Cal. You're about 5'9". I am 5'10". Okay?

5'10 and a half on a good day with bitches. 6'3". I am 5'10", okay? 5'10 and a half on a good day with bitches. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. Win a share of $50,000. Cash. With the edge. Cash trapped. Trapped.

Yeah, 50k is to be given away, and Jamie is the lucky person that gets to get the next bite out of it. Hey, Jamie. Hi, guys. Morning, Jamalam. Now. Okay. What are we doing here? Okay, so Jamie wants to take her family camping.

Are you a camping sort of type of family, or is this the first time? Yeah, I am. Like, we go camping all the time, but my sister and her kids have never been camping, so they just have to experience it. Okay, so why do you need the money for camping? Do you need some gear, or have you already got that? No, we've got the gear. We've got enough tents, but it's just to pay for the fees for my sister so she doesn't have to do that.

Oh, so Jamie, when you say you're going camping, it's not like out in the wilderness. You're at a nice dock camp, you know? No, no, we have facilities. Yes. Are the toilets long drops drops or are they flush? Absolutely not a long drop, girl. It's not going to happen. Oh, that's not going to happen.

You'd like a little bit of that. Okay, I have quickly gone into the Auckland Council website. You can get camping passes. They're valid for 12 months. They're about $180 an adult. I'm going to give you $330. $330. I don't know how big her family is,

but that will at least go a decent way to cover up camping stuff. All yours. You can walk away. Jamie, here's the thing. Why camp when you can stay at the Hilton? You know, you could get your sister a lovely king suite at the Hilton, or you could camp if you wanted to and take Meg's money. It's up to you.

I don't know what's in the vest, but yesterday I know that there was, I think there was 1,500 in there yesterday, at this time yesterday. But then at 8 o'clock I think you had $10. So, Jamie, what would you like to do? Take the $330 and take your family camping? Or Dan? And the vest330 and take your family camping? Or Dan? And the vest. Do you know what?

I am going to live life on the edge and I'm going to risk it. Yes, good on you. Good on you. I like the cut of your jib, Jamie. Here we go. Okay, I'm going to go reach into the vest. Good luck. Jamie.

Throw out your tent, my darling. Oh, God. Go to a tent shop and buy yourself a new one. You've got $800. $800. Wow. Well done. Yes.

I think it's a bit wasteful to throw out your perfectly fine tent just to buy a new one, personally. Donate it to charity. Oh, my gosh. This is amazing. I'm calling my sister. Yeah. Enjoy your campaign.

Thanks, Jamie. Your next chance to play is at eight if you want to play Cash Strapped. That's all yours. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. Something that's either going to make you a little worried or give you kudos to be able to brag about, it's your hearing. So we have a little test that we're going to play on ear. Actually, we'll get it bounced back as well.

So if you are distracted and getting ready this morning, you can't focus completely, then you can just do it in your own time. But it is going to tell you whether your hearing is from the age of 90 all the way down to the age of 15. People are getting hearing damage much earlier in life these days as well because of headphones and ear pods and all that stuff that we're wearing that 20 years earlier people are experiencing hearing loss than they were 15 to 20 years ago.

Crazy, eh? I don't think I'll be very good at this. I'm 34. Dan, you're like 37. 36. 36. Cal? 26.

26. And then producer Carl is about. 36. 36. Carl? 26. 26. And then producer Carl is about my age. I think about 33. And producer Nipi is about your age. Carl, 26? Nah, 20. Yeah, we'll go 24. 24.

Are you, darling? Just a wee fella. Just a wee boy. Just a wee boy. So in short, we all should have hearing. No, I'm just saying, in our brackets, we should be around the same-ish. So I'm going to play you some clips. We've also got Sam playing.

Sam, how old are you? 27. 27? Okay, so you'd be happy to be sitting in, I guess, bracket number four, four or five. We'll have him check in with you soon, Sam. So you're going to play some audio that's going to count down, starting from old people. Yes, indeed. It's going to be a loud, or it's going to be like a high-pitched beeping sort of noise.

If you can hear it, you pass. Annoying to dogs. Yes, very annoying. So leave your dogs out of this if they're nearby. So this is the first bracket. We should all really be hearing this. If you are the age between 90 to 70, this is the health of your ears,

you should be able to hear. Are your ears older than you? Use this video to find out. Listen to the sound and then pause the video when you can't hear it anymore. And that is your ear age. I can hear her. Okay, we can hear her. She is between the ages 90 to 70.

If you could hear that noise in the background, you're fine. Let's go down to age bracket number two. If you're between the ages of 70 to 50, you should be able to hear this. If it disappears, that's where your age is. So what's happening here is this sound is gradually increasing in frequency.

And once you can't hear it anymore, that is the limit to what you can hear. God, I wish she'd shut up. You can hardly hear the thing in the background. I can still hear it though in the background. I can hear it too. If you couldn't hear the beeping anymore, then you're hearing it as 70 to 50. I'm just going to check in with Sam. Are you still hearing it, Sam?

Yep. Okay, good. He's still there. Let's go. Hopefully she stops talking now. Edge bracket number 350 to 40. So far, so good. I'm still there personally. The tail end of that was a bit... I'm clinging on to dear life, Sam.

Sam, are you still in? My ears are about 40 to 50, I guess. Oh, he's lost it. He's lost it. So what we just had before, you didn't hear anything other than her saying, we're still good? Yeah.

Sam, can I quickly ask? Sam, do you work on a construction site at all? Are you in construction? Nope. I used to lay carpet on my commercial. That'll be it. I get vacuums and headphones all day. Oh, yeah.

Vacuums and stuff, maybe. Wow. Okay, Sam, your hearing is 10 years older than you are. Okay, here we go. Or 10 to 20. Okay, Sam, your hearing is 10 years older than you are. Okay, here we go. Or 10 to 20. Okay, this is the next bracket. It's a big one. Between the age 40 to 25,

I think I'll lose it at one point. Yes. I'm going to say me when it's gone. Me too. But that's what we say. We'll just say me.

Okay. I'll say cow because a lot of people don't know who I am. I'll make sort of a cow noise because you guys are... No. Okay, here we go.

40 to 25. It's getting quieter. Moo, I'm gone. Oh, I can still hear it. I'm still in. I'm still in. Oh, really? Neeps are still in.

I'm still in. Producer Carl is gone. Yeah, mine went out right at the end there. Yeah, same. Yeah, I had the whole thing bright as day. I am so young. Oh, my God. We're going to be like teenagers in the next one. I'm same. Yeah, I had the whole thing bright as day. I am so young.

Oh my God, we're going to be like teenagers in the next one. Oh my God, I'm so excited. And the next bracket is 25 to 15 and this is how old your ears are.

If you stop hearing the beep or you can't hear a beep, your ears are older than you are. Here we go. Oh, now I can hear it again. Are you still in? Gone.

I've just lost it as well. We have the same hearing. That's crazy. Let me know your results. Other people were, we were just talking all over it. If you want, we'll get a bounce back and we'll get you to be able to do that at home by yourself.

Yeah. It might be easier if you do it with headphones on as well. Yeah. But I mean, yeah, it's good to know. Ears to 3343 and you can check it out there and see how your ears are doing. But I am very young. You're happy with that one? Happy with that one.

Happy with that one. Clint, Meg and Dan. We do a segment called What You Got where we bring a story each. It's Clint, Meg and Dan's What You Got. It's basically what you should know in the world at the moment. Yeah, I mean sometimes they're a little left field. Dan always seems to go there. Yeah, one of the stories I've come across is there's been a list created

and I don't know how factual this list is but I think it is. It's from an Instagram page called Explaining the Universe. I love it. So it's a list and you don't know if it's factual. So somebody's just written. It is based on fact, but I just don't know how 100% accurate it is. Because they've listed the top 10 most deadly animals in the world. Compared to how many, like, because of how many people die from their bites.

Yeah. Can I take a guess on one that might be on the list? Yes. Crocodile slash alligator. Not on the list. What? Not on the list. Okay, I'm going to say, is the insects count?

Can I say a mosquito? That is on the list, I believe. So I'm going to go from 10 quite quickly. Tapeworms. 2,000 deaths annually because of a tapeworm-based death. Number nine, roundworms, which is a similar thing. They are found in water and they can also go into the body. Yikes.

And they cause 2,500 deaths annually. Number eight, scorpion, for obvious reasons. They bite people. 3,000 people die of that every year. Seven, freshwater snails. They carry parasites that if you come into contact with them, certain ones... But then would that not be the parasite that's the killer, not the snail?

Well, I think, yeah. But they must be the carriers of it. Yeah, they're the carriers. True. 10,000 people die from them every year. Jesus. Assassin bugs, they bite. 10,000 deaths for them as well.

Then we're into the top five of the most deadliest animals in the world. Flies. They spread disease. What? Yeah. They spread malaria and stuff. Dude, owl flat. You can ask Niamh about this. Owl flat has a? Yeah. They spread malaria and stuff. Dude, Alphalette. You can ask Niams about this.

Alphalette has a fly problem. That's so bad, eh? I think Auckland has a fly problem, to be fair. It's just crazy. Something about the heat. And the top four dogs for dog bites, 25,000 people die from them every year. 3,000 snakes, which is another obvious one with venom.

Number two, humans. Because of homicide issues and things. Only number two. If I knew humans were on the list, I probably would have said number one. That doesn't include, I believe, war and all that kind of stuff. So it's just like homicide and stuff. 475,000 deaths per year annually. And just like America.

Yep. And number one, Meg, you guessed it. Mosquitoes. Wow. One million deaths because of mosquitoes every year. Yeah, awful. Okay. Thank you for that, Dan. That's just put the fear up a lot of people. Yeah.

That's nice. So avoid mosquitoes. My win, touch political, you might have seen this, Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, did a Hugh Grant

from Love Actually. He did his speech earlier in the year talking about Donald Trump and the trade war that they're going into. And I thought it sounded a little like it. This felt like almost a carbon copy. Have a listen. The United States

launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite, but we will not back down from a fight. Oh, now listen to Hugh Grant. I love that word relationship. It covers all manner of sins, doesn't it? I fear that this has become a bad relationship. A relationship based on the president taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to Britain. We may be a small country, but we're a great one too. Just put that music behind Justin Trudeau. Britain. In this part here.

It may be a small country. Just put that music behind Justin Trudeau. I know. It would be carbon copy. Yeah. Absolutely. Untanny. Yeah.

God. All right, well, Jurassic Park might be closer than we think. Very excited about this, actually. There is a US biotech company that has successfully integrated. It sounds just like Jurassic Park. Right? So they're starting with the woolly mammoth, which I think is fine because they're cute. They're just elephants with fur, right?

I mean, you don't want too many of them. They're hard to store a mammoth. But yeah, I get what you mean. I don't mean put them in the zoo. Put them in the wild. Yeah. You pig. And they have successfully merged mice DNA with the mammoth DNA and they

have created the woolly mouse. Oh, easier to store. Oh no, this is all getting weird. This is going to turn into some Spider-Man stuff. Cane. No, not cane. What do you mean? A cane man. Like spicing DNA together freaks me out. So this is what

Ben Lamb, the CEO of Colossal Biosciences, that's the company name, this is what Ben Lamb, the CEO of Colossal Biosciences, that's the company name, this is what he's got to say about it. In a huge breakthrough, scientists have now managed to genetically engineer mice to have woolly mammoth traits. Meet the woolly mouse. It's the latest development from Colossal,

a company trying to bring back extinct species. So we did not know that they would be this adorable, which makes us even more excited about them. And they did not know that they would be this adorable, which makes us even more excited about them. And they are adorable, but they just look like guinea pigs. Call me when they do a mammoth. I mean, it's just a mouse, really, with a bit more fur than normal.

Clint, Meg and Dan on the Edge. I mentioned this yesterday to you, Meg, and Cal's here today, and I don't think I've really spoken to you about it. I've got a bit of a dilemma. Yeah, you probably noticed it, though, in the background since just being around you. Because I've known about this for a very long time. Is it the smell?

No, but I'm interested. Maybe I need to talk to another doctor about that. So I booked an appointment with my ADHD doctor today. I've got ADHD. I was diagnosed coming up two years ago now. Late diagnosis in life. And I've been noticing a thing, and I don't want this to come across like I'm being funny

or trying to be silly because I think at the end of the day, this can be something that a lot of people with autism or ADHD have. It's called a vocal stim. Yeah. Short for stimulant. Yeah, where you can't stop saying a certain phrase or a certain word. And unfortunately, Dan's is a couple of words that are funny together, but he's not trying to be funny and he doesn't realise he's doing it

and it's getting worse and worse. It's very much so. And to be fair, Cal, I have self-diagnosed. So I don't actually know if this is what it is, but I've done a lot of Googling and I've come up to the fact that this must be what it will be. That's why I'm going to the doctor this afternoon. Have you figured out if you have a trigger to it or is it just kind of random all day? come up to the fact that this must be what it will be. That's why I'm going to the doctor this afternoon.

Have you figured out if you have, like, a trigger to it, or is it just kind of random all day? Maybe when you're stressed, you do it a bit more. It's when it's quiet, eh? Or when I'm a little bit stressed, it happens. Stress, quiet, filling the space. I've been saying it a lot this morning because you're here, Cal, and nothing to do with you, but, you know, usually things are changing. Things are changing.

So the thing that I say, and this is the funny part, and I can understand if you laugh, I say stinky, like that, and it has to be in that... When you say stinky butt, stinky butt. Like that. But it's, so say for instance...

Constantly, guys. Constantly. Behind the scenes. To the point where I have to, I like, say it and they go, shut up! Like that. And I have to stop myself and like, consciously. And the thing is, when I'm consciously thinking about it, I don't say it. Yeah. So when I'm just... Like, mellowing out and kind of away with the theories, you say it all the time.

It's the weirdest, weirdest feeling. And it's not as extreme as like I'd imagine a Tourette's tick would be. Yeah. It's not like that. It's like a... It's like a crutch, we call them in the industry. Yeah, and it makes me feel like, it's sort of a's like a crutch we call them in the industry and it makes me feel like good

it's sort of a satisfying thing to say I was going to ask that does it give you some kind of like release when you say it in a way yeah like it's kind of

it relaxes me a little bit and I think all the googling I've seen like they say that it can be anything from like a physical like movement that just makes you feel

you know a little bit more relaxed a thing that you do with your mouth maybe a sound a lot lot of people do raspberries with their mouth, like that sound. Because Clint, who isn't here today, and who's also never

been officially diagnosed with anything, we've kind of, we know he has tics. We don't know if it is mild Tourette's or if it is mild OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder, but he has things where he has to touch his chin to his shoulder constantly. He has to tap his fingers a certain amount of time on the desk.

He at one point got these cool whiskey glasses that were like octagon shaped, but he spent so much time trying to twist them and turn them to get exactly the right line that they had to throw them all out in the household and just get circle ones so he would stop twisting them. Yeah. Interesting. And he hops on one foot sometimes and then he'll tap, he'll touch his chin to his shoulder, hop on a foot and tap.

Okay. Have you noticed that, Carl? I've noticed that, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he has something similar. I think it's quite a normal thing, even if you're not diagnosed with any sort of necessarily ADHD or autism. Yeah.

People just have tics. And so this afternoon I've got to go and have a Zoom meeting with my psychiatrist that he diagnosed me with ADHD and explain to him. This is the thing I'm nervous about because I'm worried he's going to be like, what?

What are you saying? Nah, there's no way he hasn't heard this before, you know? I mean, it's the, yeah, you're right. It's the word itself that is the thing that gets silly. They're never going to laugh.

Yeah, the doctor's never going to laugh at him. Nah, God no. And heaps of people are messaging through like they did yesterday, like saying that they've got the exact same thing. They've the doctor's never going to laugh at them. No, God, no. And heaps of people are messaging through, like they did yesterday, saying that they've got the exact same thing. They've got kids that have got a vocal stim. They've got a vocal stim themselves. So it's a common thing, and I guess it's a good thing.

I've never heard of it before, so it's a great way to kind of spread the word about it. So you're going to come back with your findings tomorrow, do you think? Yeah. And see what they say? Because I'd love to know how you stop it. I'd love to be able to record the chat, but I don't know if I'm going to be able

to do that because I don't want to, the person I'm talking to might not want it recorded. But I think it's a great thing to talk about because what is, I would say,

like maybe the end goal for you? You want to have this thing, do you want to just completely eradicate it? It's just annoying. It's just like, it's embarrassing to be going around

going stinky, stinky all the time. And people don't understand it. They just think I'm saying something weird because I'm thinking I'm funny or whatever, but it's not. And I always have until this moment. I just thought that was just part of something that you like to do. Fair enough.

So I'll let you know what happens tomorrow. Thank you for that, Dan. Yeah. Can't wait. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. We want to talk about booty calls and if they can ever progress through a relationship. I think they can because I think I was, me and my husband now, we're kind of like that.

Although we did have a friendship base. We had known each other for a few years, not as friends, like just known each other. And then I moved up to Auckland and saw him. And then there was a connection there of some sorts, but it wasn't a connection to date. It was a connection to, you know, get together. And we did, but we also, in between all of those, we texted. And so maybe it was just the beginning of a relationship.

That's just, I'd imagine most relationships start that way. Yeah, how they just start. I don't know. No, I think a lot of relationships start with dates. Your wife started with a date. But you could say We didn't go on a date for four months Yeah, I mean there's two ways to get into it

But I think we're talking about a booty call That's prolonged, right? And maybe you're not texting in between I don't even think it's a friend A booty call is somebody that you just get a text At like three in the morning Or two in the morning saying Hey, what's up?

I think that's a booty call The distinction between it, right? Is not talking throughout the day It's just like Hey, what's up? You up?'s a birdie call. I think that's the distinction between it, right? Yes, yes. It's not talking throughout the day. It's just like, hey, you up? Hey, what's up? You up? You out tonight? That's a birdie call compared to what me and my husband, now husband, had, which was texting

in between, like making jokes to each other, and then would be like, hey, do you want to catch up tonight? Yeah. I'd love to talk to someone that's had like a friends with benefits situation where they've been, it's a birdie call for like months, even a year, and then they've caught feels and they've tried to turn it into a relationship. I think Corey is on line one. Corey, has this happened to you?

It's tried to, but it hasn't worked out to the relationship. So you had a long-term kind of like booty call situation where you'd either hit each other up or see each other in town, you'd end up going home with each other, and then who said to the other person, hey, should we give this a go? Was it you or them? The female wanted to give it a go. So I played along for a little bit.

Yeah. And then she goes, no, this isn't working out. Oh, interesting. So she was the one that instigated it but then decided against it. Wow, okay. Yeah. Yeah, so this is interesting. So she was the one that instigated it, but then decided against it. Wow, okay. Yeah. Yeah, so this is interesting. I think that would be maybe a common thread that happens with this kind of thing.

I just want to check, how many booty calls have you had with either that one person or, like, over your lifespan, Corey? To be fair, just one. Just the one. And how long did it go for with her? About three months. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah, and then it didn't work out. I feel like when you're doing it for that long as well,

it is almost inevitable that one of the two sides will catch feelings. It's very rare. This is the perfect thing for Erica from A Little Nudge. We get on every now and then. She's got the perfect prompt for anything relationship-wise. Meaning if you want to get out of the booty call situation, what do you do to text them or ask them? So if you're in a booty call situation and you've caught feels

and you're wanting to maybe take things to the next level or you want to know for future reference, we're going to get her on next and ask her if this can actually happen. Okay. And what's the line to do it? We've got one more very quickly. Let's go to Emma. Emma, you also had

a booty call. Did it work out or not? Yeah, it did. We're getting married. Okay. Who asked who? Who said, hey, I've caught feels? Oh, no. He just invited me over for pancakes and it just

snowballed from there. Oh, so the booty call turned into like pancakes. I don't think it's a eu from there. Oh, so the booty call turned into like pancakes. Damn. I don't think it's a euphemism. No, no, I just mean like that's still that totally different vibe. I was just thinking about pancakes. Yeah, me too. I don't even know what the euphemism could have been.

Some weird move. No, I can't. Thanks, Emma. We're talking about booty calls. We want to know if they can ever turn into relationships after years of just being the person that gets caught up

with a what up to text. I've never had one. Nobody's shocked by that. No, I've never had a booty call. Like the only, I've had two relationships and both started

with just a date. Just your classic sort of date. I love that though. I feel like these days, especially my generation, I feel like that's not that common and I hear those stories and I'm like, that's cute. That's nice. Wouldn, especially my generation, I feel like that's not that common.

And I hear those stories, I'm like, that's cute. That's nice. Wouldn't be the way I'd go, but it's cute. We've had her on in the past, Erica, from A Little Nudge. If you can check her out on Instagram, you can see there where she answers the best way to get through these tricky relationship sort of questions. And we have her on this morning.

I think we have all been there, where we take the bare minimum from someone because we like them so much, even though we know it's not good for us. It will require you cutting it off, which I know is really hard because you want any piece of them that you can get. But I promise you,

the future version of you will be very grateful for the present version of you having the strength to cut it off because you know it's not what you want or deserve. But look, but we've all been there and I know that's easier said than done. I mean, who hasn't? I've been there before where you're like, I'll take this because it's something. I mean, you can certainly express to the other person, you know, I am really looking for a relationship with you and I really like you. And assuming the answer is still no, you have to

respect yourself a bit there and just unfortunately cut it off. And it's going to hurt. And you'll feel a void. But that void is better than getting bare minimum. Put me on the record saying it's never going to change. They're never going to upgrade you from just sex to a relationship because they would have made that decision a long time ago.

Yeah. But so right. So right. And I think chances are sometimes they might, you know, allow it and go, oh, yes, let's give it a go, but it might not last, you know? Who knows? I'm no professional.

No, very much. I don't know why you keep talking about it. But then again, I mean, you might be in a booty call situation right now wanting it to progress to something, and I feel like it's very different for every situation. You know what? we should always say? Communication is key. Oh, God, yes.

Yes, oh, God, yes. With a share of $50,000. Cash. With the edge. Cash trapped. Trapped. Trapped. Wow, so exciting.

Your share of theory. $50,000 this morning. We gave away $800 at 7am before. The lucky person to get through this morning, Louise. Hi. Hello. Morning, Louise. Morning.

That's so exciting. Hello. So you're going to go away with cash, no matter what. But it's up to you as to how much cash that is. Yeah. Oh. Okay, the kind of bad news is I've actually had a message from the boss this morning you as to how much cash that is. Yeah. Okay, the kind of bad news is I've actually had a message from the boss this morning and he has taken away my rights.

So he is telling me the amount. Yeah, all of my rights. He's given me the amount. So just know that, Louise. But what is it that you need money for? We're filling in some money to go towards a new couch. Right. Okay. Couches are expensive. I'm in the market for a new couch as well,

and they are way more than you think. And you don't want to get one on Facebook Marketplace because you don't know who's buying it on there. Because on Facebook Marketplace right now, I have found some couches for very good prices. That's the reason they're good prices. Very, very good prices. They're coming in stains.

Very good prices. There's some free couches in Christchurch right now, Louise, if you want to get your hands on them, because I've got $210 for a brand new couch. Okay. So that's going to be... $210. Yeah.

You might be able to get, like, a two-seater for that. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking at it online, and there is stuff. It could have... Well, there's four of us in the family. I don't think a two-seater will... Yeah, no. Sorry about that, Louise. It is $210 to go towards your new couch.

If you would like the money, it is yours right now. Okay. Louise, you could take that. And look, it's an offer. I'd imagine from the bosses, not a generous one. Or you could go with the vest right now. And I don't know what's in the vest, but it has been very lucky this week. $1,000 you've won on Tuesday, $800 this morning.

I think we all know what Louise is going to do. Yeah, with your cheap offer. Yeah, well, I've contemplated with the children this morning. Good on you. And we're going to go with Dan. Yeah! Even I'm saying it this time, Louise. Even I'm for it. Come on.

Everybody knows children are wise. So let's just go with the kids' decision. Here we go. Alright, I just go with the kids' decision. Here we go. All right, I'm going into the best. Louise. Christchurch. She wants a couch. And she's going to get one.

$450! Woohoo! I mean, it's definitely better. It's definitely better. Come on, it's a good couch. I don't think you can get a... I mean, it's definitely better. It's definitely better. Come on. It's a good couch. I don't think you can get a... I mean, it's definitely an upgrade. Think of it like this, Louise.

It'll help out. Exactly. You've saved $400 on whatever couch you're going to end up getting. You're going to get a couch. It'll be... Thank you so much. It'll be a flat pack one that'll take you seven days to put together, but it'll be a couch.

No, thank you. Oh, that's awesome. Bless you, Louise. Thanks, Louise. So grateful. How nice is that? Bye. Stay there.

And this just proves the vest continues its streak of being lucky. What's up with the boss suddenly taking my... I know, taking all your rights away. Taking all my rights away, my job. Oh, you know what he is? Cheapskate. Yeah. Oh.

See what I did there, Cal? I did. That's why I'm in the job that I'm in. It's because we're talking about extreme cheapskates, Nick. Wow. Oh, you know what he is? Cheapskate. Yeah. Oh. See what I did there, Cal? I did. That's why I'm in the job that I'm in. It's because we're talking about extreme cheapskates, Nick. Wow. Cheers. It is good. Segway of the day.

Can I say who I think the biggest cheapskate is in the entire office here? I think we would all know. Steph. I was going to say on three, two, one. Steph. Steph. She's frugal. She's frugal. Frugal's a good word for it. All right, two, one. Stab! She's frugal. Frugal's a good word for it.

All right, well, let's talk more about this next. We're talking about cheapskates. Yeah, this is actually because our dear, dear Randall. Oh, Randall. Wow, throwback. No wonder he's off. You keep calling him his dead name. His dead name.

Clint discovered Extreme Cheapskates, which is a 15 year old TV show he found it on TikTok and he became obsessed with it if you haven't seen it before here's some highlights of some of the episodes that came out in the 2000s I know this movie theatre gives free refills

with their popcorn and soft drinks so I found a few containers in the trash and surprised my loving wife okay I have a little surprise for you these are all things we made out of roadkill. To save on parlor tissue, I use, uh, ten pieces, ten squares, every day. That's a daily routine.

Instead of going to gyms, I just go to these sporting goods stores for about 45 minutes a day. Going to a gym, paying for a membership, I mean, that's like $75 a month. Oh, yeah. That's like she's going into, like like a rebel sport and using the equipment. So what we're saying here is like everybody,

I think everybody at the moment is trying to save money. It is dire out there, apart from Cal, who's spending his money fast and thick on Lego. But when it comes to groceries, everything seems to be getting more expensive. So I'm not talking about people just trying to do little safe acts. We're talking about extreme cheapskates. Nothing's as dire that you need to go into a rebel sport

and go on their Ab Circle Pro. There's nothing that's dire. We couldn't afford a gym membership, me and my husband, so we took up jogging. It is free. Winter, rain, shine, doesn't matter. But that's not extreme cheapskates. That's just being savvy.

We're talking people that have done things that you sat there. And normally we found from doing this last week, it's parents. I think it's because they were probably raised on recession. Yeah. And then also trying to support a family in this time as well. And a lot of the time, Meg, I think as well, it's not born out of saving money. It's just this insatiable like it brings you joy to go, I've saved a little bit there. Like for instance, the people that reuse teabags.

Your wife being one of them. She does it. Or perhaps how you said, this was a chat we had off air, that you use one piece of toilet paper and you kind of wipe it like four times with that. Yeah, he goes back and forth. Saving money on toilet paper. That wasn't saving.

I just thought that that's the way you do it. And apparently talking to you guys, it's not. When we said we use more than one piece, you said that's extremely wasteful. You're wasteful. You're wasteful. Maybe I use like the highest ply, though, so it's like using four bits of paper. It's so enjoyable.

Anyway. Yeah. O-A-100 The Edge, Texas 3343. How are you or somebody you know, a mate, a flatmate, a parent, an extreme cheapskate? What do they do to save money that is just so outrageous you can't help but kind of roll your eyes a bit? Talking about cheapskates. Oh, I love this. Extreme cheapskates.

What do you do or what does somebody in your life or somebody that you know do that shows they're really cheap? I said this last week. We had somebody at work who, when the boss said, hey, go shut yourself some coffees because you had a good morning and gave us his Epos card. He went out and instead of getting a coffee for himself because he didn't feel like one, he just got $5 cash out and kept that

and got coffees for everybody else. The thing is, I think that's taking it more extreme than a cheapskate and it's more deceitful. I feel like that's a little bit cheeky. He told them. I think that's low-key fair enough, though, you know, if you don't want a coffee that morning. It was $5 shout from the boss per person.

I guess that's how he took it. Yeah, right. Again, let's go to Jackie. Oh, I hit the edge. Jackie, you know of a cheapskate? Yeah, I had one at work, and they asked if it was okay to wash their floss and reuse it because it was pretty expensive. Right. Okay.

Now, that is tricky because how much is floss? Let's be honest here. Floss maybe is $10 per roll. Okay, let's say worst case scenario. More like $4 or $5. Yeah. Look, I'm going worst case scenario here, Jackie. The thicker rolls are $10.

Yeah. Right. I mean, are you really saving, is that really saving, like your life, you know, and money? Is it really doing it? I guess when you compound things in it, that's not the only thing they're doing it with.

They're using tea bags, they're being real frugal with toilet paper, then it all adds up, I guess. Yeah, but like, yeah, I guess, wash it, I mean, would it work? Maybe not, because it's the germs that you want to get rid of, right? Do you know what, Jackie? I kind of get it. I get annoyed with floss in the way that, like, you do feel like if you want to get a decent bit to get in to your teeth,

you do have to move through a whole lot of it. Yeah, because you have to kind of wrap around your fingers as well to hold it in place. I mean, but yeah, don't reuse it. This text came through. My nana was a massive coupon fan, would use coupons for everything. I know they used to be, remember? I don't know if they're still available now. You could get those books.

Remember they were like a book full of coupons and you'd spend like $100 on this thick book and you could rip out coupons for different things and you'd say you'd end up saving like thousands of dollars if you used them. Oh, wow. I don't know if they're still available now. But yeah, I mean, if you can have the time to search for coupons. I feel like coupons is a massive thing in America. That's what I talked about last week too.

Have you seen Extreme Couponing? Yes! I've seen clips on TikTok. Yeah, it's great. Also, I think we're trying to get them on, so I don't want to read it out, but we did have somebody, no damn, they don't want to speak. They go out for lunch with friends, and the friend only orders, like, one small thing,

but then every time waits for everybody to finish and they'll eat their leftovers. You know what, my friend? You know Jaden, who used to work here? Jaden King used to do the drive show with Sharon. He's that guy. He'll just wait for... He used to work in a restaurant,

and he'd wait, like, people that didn't finish their meals, he'd go and, like, finish their steak, if they'd half eaten their steak. That's foul. I have this thing. It's very, very popular in our flat that producer Neeps is a part of. I never finish a meal, but I always, I like to get Uber Eats because I don't know how to cook.

There is always leftover food and it's kind of a bit of a race. I'm like, who wants it? Everyone's like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep, bloody good. And we've actually got the trash disposal system, which is Braden. He eats absolutely everything. There is zero food wastage in our house. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. Bloody good. And we've actually got the trash disposal system, which is Braden. He eats absolutely everything. There is zero food wastage in our house. There's one of those people in every flat, eh?

Let's go to Rose as well. Rose, why is your nana an extreme cheapskate? Rose. Rose, you there? Earth to Rose. No, she can't hear us. Oh, we've lost her. I will say this, though.

I was talking about that coupon book that we were talking about. Oh, the entertainment book? People are texting through. It's called the entertainment book. But it looks like, I've just Googled it, and now it's available in an app. So you now pay, it looks like 12 months, $70, and it just constantly gives you coupons for restaurants, different things. The entertainment book had a hold on people in the 2000s.

It was absolute madness. I worked at a cafe, and how many times I had a little coupon pop up. With the coupon books, did you have to pay a subscription to get the books? No, you buy it once. You buy the coupon book for like, it was like, what was it? It was like $100. It was like an expensive book. But it was worth it if you used it.

But then you would most of the time buy one and then not. Yeah, yeah. Oh, well, look, we need to keep bringing this back because there's actually some good tips. That's very interesting. There's a lot of tips we want one and then not. Yeah, yeah. Oh, well, look, we need to keep bringing this back because there's actually some good tips. It's very interesting. There's a lot of things we want to do as well. Clint, Meg and Dan, Scandal. Today we'll say it's Clint's away.

Kel's filling in. Yes, of course. Thanks, Scandal. Thanks to New World. Nominate someone to get a New World Wonderful Wednesday. Lady Gaga is doing a Zanlone interview. It comes out today, so the whole thing will be out, but of course they're releasing little clips from it.

There's nothing wrong with that. He's obviously extremely successful. Who am I to say that I don't like his stuff, but I just find it hard to watch because I find it very over, I don't want to say overdramatic, but it's the questions that he asks

are all to me very ass-kissing. And it's not in a way that you should be mean to your interview subjects, but, like, he will be like, oh, this is going to be so, it's going to be really mean. I feel that if I was to be Zane and you guys said, Meg, you have to act like you're Zane Lowe, I would be asking a question like, Daniel, the feeling that you give sitting across

in that black seat that you sit in to your audience is magnifiable. Yeah, I get what you mean. It's pretentious. I just find it hard to listen to. But here we go. Here he is asking her a question that does end up making her cry and i wondered like in that moment whether your life since then has felt like the blink of an eye or a river and is she crying yes both oh both and the answer is both she carried because she continues on he

was talking about her fame and since she became famous. Have a listen. Oh, sorry. Can I just very quickly say that was spot on. Oh, thank you. That's one of your best impressions out there with your Keira Knightley. Okay, listen to this. I just had, like, no idea what was going to happen.

Yeah. And I'm really grateful that it did. What I value when I think about this time is not what it gave to me in my career, but the endless memories. I get, it was actually quite a good question, but it's the way he's worded it. Was it like a blink of an eye or a river? Yeah, like exactly. So he was asking, since you've become famous, has your life just flashed past or has it, I guess, been slow?

I don't think his questions are bad. I don't know why it is something about the way he says it that rubs me in the wrong way because I think Sean Evans is one of the best interviewers in the world who does hot ones. And he does very deep questions. But the way he – I don't know. It's just a different sort of – I've met Zane Lowe once.

And he's actually a very lovely man and person just a different sort of. I've met Zane Lowe once. Yeah. And he's actually a very lovely man and person. Of course he is. Of course he is. Yeah. And I wonder whether he has got writers as well behind him that write the questions. I don't know how it is all prepped. But I agree with you, Meg.

Sometimes the questions, you're just like, maybe it's a good question to ask on a personal level without a camera rolling. But when there's cameras rolling, you're kind of like, what? I don't understand. I wonder if it's a thing that. It feels like it's trying to be too smart for me. That's how I feel. When I watch it, I feel like I'm trying to be made to feel like

I'm not smart enough or creative enough to understand what that means. And I wonder if he puts it on because he's in the presence of these massively creative... He feeds into the ego. Yeah, 100%. And he has to play that to try and level out the playing field in the interview. He's probably very smart

to do that because he's never had a bad interview because everyone's ego is stroked so magnanimously. Yeah. And he uses words correctly, which I like. Which is why

I could never be Zane, though. It's like, how could I just give it? Okay, all right. You've just made everything you've just said irrelevant with magnanimity. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge.

Megan McElroy's new TV show. It's called With Love, Megan. It's on Netflix. You can watch it now. Me and Dan both did separate reviews. I watched it without having any sort of bias towards the woman. And Dan has a lot of bias. Here's the trailer.

Let's go. I've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it. Surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them. What? This is probably one of the most glamorous moments of my life.

It's magic. I'm gonna share some little tips and tricks. Oh God, this is still going. It goes on and on and on. I am going to go first, if you don't mind, Dan, because I imagine that yours will be a lot longer than mine. You don't know what I'm going to say, Mansell. Oh, I do.

Because I've watched it as well. Look, I had no bad blood with Meghan Markle, Meghan Sussex, I should say. Sussex. Meghan Sussex, as she does correct her friends when they say it wrongly in the show, which I found interesting. But I guess I'll do the same. in Sussex as she does correct her friends when they say it wrongly in the show, which I found interesting.

But I guess I'll do the same if somebody called me Megan in the air, and I'd be like, you know my name's Mansell. But maybe I wouldn't also because, right. She is, how do I say this? I found it, I found myself laughing quite a bit because I did find it that she felt like me when I was 10 years old and I pretended to have a cooking show and I would talk to like the window and I'd pretend there were cameras around me

and I'd put little labels on things and I'd pour something in and I'd be like, and this is just going to fill up the jar and then it wouldn't fill up the jar and I'd just like top it up with other things and you'd watch her do that. It did definitely feel like she was in this fantasy rich person's world my husband described it as it's like watching rich person simulator where like you've got all the money and all the time in the world

to make little labels for little bags and make little eaps and solves and the thing is I it is a easy watch to be on your phone and not really track it. And sure, sit there and go, this is probably what I'd be like too if I had $14 million and nothing else to do. Yeah, I get it. It's like a kind of weirdly like, wow, that's how the other half live watch. But it's all very simple.

There's not a single recipe so far that I have learned from. Like Jamie Oliver, I do all the time. And I do find it very bizarre that her friends that come in, it doesn't feel like friendships to me. It feels, but my friendships are like bullying friendships. And her friendships are very much like

her friendships are very like, you're amazing, you're incredible, and she'll go, thank you, thank you, thank you. I haven't seen anything about the show at all. I haven't even seen the trailer. You said you haven't learned any of the recipes. Is the point in the show that she is teaching recipes? It surely can't be, but

the thing that I find a little insufferable is that when she does make a pasta dish that is truly pasta with tomatoes in a pan, she is talking as if it is reinventing the wheel, and she is talking as if she is like reinventing the wheel and she is

talking as if she's teaching you and that's what I mean, it's like me when I was 10 pretending I had a cooking segment in my kitchen because I'd be talking about these things I was doing as if it was very important but it's actually very simple. Dad, I am done. I've stayed very quiet and let you talk and I think what you've done is explained

a show over three minutes that you didn't enjoy. I'm going to be much, much more harsher. I do have a bias towards Meghan Markle, but this show was an insufferable turd. One of the worst TV shows I've ever seen. It reeks of someone that has got too much money that is trying to explain away that her life is just perfect. And in a world that unfortunately maybe that is not perfect. And it comes across very deaf. I think it is the worst show Netflix has ever done.

I watched it and it was just so fake. Even the person that she had on that was supposed to be a friend of 15 years, it was like he didn't even know her. Yeah, I must admit it did feel like that very much. Did you watch the whole episode? I watched the whole episode and the start of the next one and then turned it off because I wanted to give it a chance. I'd love to hear your reviews.

Text them through, 3343. Yeah. Anybody that genuinely likes it has maybe, like, didn't like Megan and now watches it and does like Megan, I'll wait for you to text us 3343. It's out on Netflix now. I'll be surprised if anyone genuinely loved it. I really will be.

Oh, fuck. It was shocking. She is very biased. I will not be adding it to my list. There's a bit we're loved it. I really will be. Oh, fuck. It was shocking. He is very biased. I will not be adding it to my list. There's a bit where in it, sorry to go on, she bakes a cake and it comes across the screen, it goes, Megan bakes a cake. The cake's made!

She puts a couple of strawberries on top. Think someone else made the cake! Oh, God. Oh, it's terrible. Anyway, great review, team. Loved it Absolutely brilliant Will not be adding it

To that list Clint, Meg and Dan On the edge Talking about Tricks guys can do That can be sexy It's a shame that Clint isn't here

Because this is kind of His thing He wants to find out There's one universal thing That every man can do That for some reason Just if you're in a Heterosexual relationship

Makes a woman go all funny We've had some people Come through in the past with their tips. Yeah, absolutely. One of them, you guys tried out last week. You took your tops off and you played a musical instrument.

This was Clint's one here. Gorgeous. Helps that he's got a beautiful voice. This is the response, so it obviously worked. Hey, little cutie. Yeah, I believe it did work later that night. So he should technically be out of the game, right? Even though he's away.

In theory. Even if he was here, he's got it. No, the game is trying to find where you all win. Right, yeah. At the same time. So Dan, it's all down to you, basically. Oh God, we couldn't be waiting to go up. Because we did yours last week as well,

and it didn't quite go down as well. Please concentrate. His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, there's vomit on his sweat. I'm sorry, I can't even listen to that. Yeah, that was shocking. That's basically Hannah's reaction as well, my wife.

So you can send in your suggestions, text 3343, or call us at the edge. Has it worked for you in the past, or does it work whenever your partner does it? We've got some here. When a guy shaves his legs and shows off his calf muscles it just screams athlete when you catch them out smiling at themselves like in a mirror or taking a selfie or something like it's kind of

cute when they're like smiling at themselves when a man has a hitchhiker's thumb because he can do cool stuff with it. That one there we can't obviously do because we can't change people's body parts but I must say I am very tempted with the mirror one

but I think I'll wait until Clint's back for that one because him just staring at himself in the mirror in the hallway I don't think

would work at all. I'm so repulsed by my reflection I don't think I could and Hannah knows Oh Dan. Dan. I know it sounds funny it's actually probably quite depressing. Also can you put your thumb out? I'm trying to Oh, Dan. I know, it sounds funny. It's actually

probably quite depressing. Also, can you put your thumb out? I'm trying to figure out what a hitchhiker's thumb is. It's the one where they bend backwards. Dan's got more of one than you do. Do I have one, though? Definitely not. It's more about how you use it. Okay, alright. So, I'm... Unfortunately, you're not going to be seeing your girlfriend tonight, Cal. No. So you're exempt from this rule

if Clint's away from tomorrow. I could, yeah. No, you don't need to try it on your flatmate because I almost hope it's... I can't try it on me? You can try it on me. Why not? Well, I just you guys aren't in a relationship. We basically are. Yeah, pretty close. I honestly think me, Nipia, and my girlfriend Brooklyn are basically in a throuple. We do everything but pash. Well, you know what? You can

try this one if you like. We've got producer Kyle doing it and Dan, you guys, I had this one sent into the text machine to go up behind your partners. Okay. Wrap your arms around them. Am I nude at this point? No, just close.

From behind, wrap your arms around them, whether that's around their waist or around their shoulders. So, Cal, you're doing the sneeps, apparently. Close, Cal, please. And then you're going to kiss their ear and then move your way down their neck. Never done that. Okay, no, I don't want to do that anymore.

He's still okay. He's totally changed. All right, and apparently this one is going to work and I think it would work on me. Never done that Okay no I don't want to do that anymore It's okay It's totally changed Alright And apparently This one is going to work And I think it would work on me Am I like You know I've seen movies

Where they kiss And they do a little bite And then they sort of Or is it just kissing Um Oh Dan If you want to put a little bite in Go ahead

Oh yes I do I'm going to go the extra mile You do a little nibble Before you do it Don't bite too hard Don't bite too hard Yeah you're not biting You're not trying to bite a carrot.

And I'm not going like that, am I? No. What do you think her response would be after doing that? I don't know. I'm going to have to find out tonight. I think she's probably going to laugh me off. Really? I think she'd be quite into it. I think she would, but I've never done it before.

I'm not that kind of person. You've got to go on with confidence. And don't do weird confidence where you do that fake personality and you're like strutting and go come here. It's just meant to... Yeah, I can... Come here, love.

Just subtly behind her, just like, she's maybe cooking dinner, and you just go up behind her and wrap your arms around her waist and then give her a little kiss on the ear and down the neck and see if it does anything. Okay. Okay. She is on dinner tonight.

Oh, good. Quiche. Yes. Oh, God, yes. It'll be a quiche. Rover. Music. Radio.
