This is a podcast from Rover. If you're easily offended, keep listening. We love a challenge. This is the Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. 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. This is The Edge Breakfast with Clint, Meg and Dan. Morning. Almost six o'clock this morning. Clint is away today. He got Carol from The Edge Nights filling in.

Yeah, Clint has gone down with gastro. Well, Meg, I'm going to stop you there. Of course, you'll stick up for your friend. No, no, I'm going to say this. He hasn't got it yet. The rest of his family does. So last I heard, about 9pm last night, Clint was gastro free. I feel like the chances of him getting it are so high.

It's so high. So it's hit, like, literally every single person of his family, from, like, niece through to mum through to sister-in-law due to wife, due to son. Great grandmother. All of them have been hit with it. But Clint so far, and he's watching them go down one by one. And he was going to come in today and be like,

please, Clint, don't. Please stay away. You're absolutely getting this. It is the most contagious thing I've ever heard. He's gassy at the best of times. So when he's got gastro, I hate to think what he's like. It would be so bad. And also just because we might have avoided getting it

because it's not airborne, is it? It's like spit and stuff. But he's going to be looking after his kids and his wife. But we're always pashing, aren't we, on the show? Oh, that's true. And we'll have to. That's why I love filling in. I love it.

Morning pash. Morning pash, yes. The cow's here love filling in. I love it. Morning, Pash. Morning, Pash. Yes, the cow's here this morning. We think Cliff might be back, although I actually have an inkling he's going to get it today. And then we'll see what happens. We should take bets.

Yeah, we should. Yeah, yeah. I'm really surprised they haven't woken up to him saying, I've got it. It's going around anyway. But we have got a big show coming up. We've got Mitch James joining us after 8 o'clock. It was his last show. Jim being homegrown over the weekend. His we have got a big show coming up. We've got Mitch James joining us after 8 o'clock. It was his last show

at Jim Beam Homegrown over the weekend. His last ever show. Last festival. That's crazy. So we'll chat to him. Also my wife Hannah gave me a tarot reading

last night. Yeah. And I'm going to be honest Meg. Yeah. It's not looking good for us. Me and you? Yeah. Me and you?

Well me, I'm sort of worse off than you. You have got some positivity in your life. Okay that's good. Me less so. Okay great. So we'll get to that after 7. A, that's good. Me less so. Okay, great.

So we'll get to that after seven. A brand new segment we're going to do every morning where one of us gets to pick a throwback song that means something to us. And I thought I was very lucky to get today of all days. Today's the 17th of March, which means... Why do you get to do it first? Piss me off.

Excuse me? Oh, come on, Dan. I was like, because Casey the boss divvied out who gets to do it. And he was like, Meg, you're up first. Piss me off. I me? Oh, come on, Dan. I was like, because Casey the boss divvied out who gets to do it. And he was like, Meg, you're up first. I want to do it. Well, you get to do it tomorrow. Okay, do I? Yeah, you get to do it tomorrow. And then guess what? And then in another two days' time, you get to do it again.

Oh, so I get to do it twice a week. Yeah, you get to do it as many times as you want. God, you've really switched around my happiness. It's as easy as that, Kel. It's as easy as that. I'm a simple man. St. Patrick's Day today. I love Kel. It's as easy as that. I'm a simple man. It's St. Patrick's Day today. I love St. Patrick's Day. I don't know why the Irish are so cool and why they're always such a vibe, but they are.

I think it's their funny little accents. It is their funny little accents. Sexy little accents. They're so much fun. And the boss has told me I've got free reign here. He's not said I had to stick to a certain something. Wow. And I thought, you know who's my favourite Irish artist of all time?

Ooh, let me now, let's have a guess. Cal, you have a guess first. Irish, Irish. It's not Ronan. Not Ronan Keating, okay. No, not before the boss case, he sits there and has a heart attack. The Pogues. No, but great second runner-up, I reckon.

Is it the one that goes, Ah, wood or lock, pipe? Is that Irish? They're Scottish. They are. The proclaimers. Same shit. No, it's a little girl band called Bewitched.

Oh. And there's a little song that they sing that they're known for. This one here, C'est La Vie. I thought we could listen to this one in full. They were one hit wonderer. I think they had one other song That didn't go quite as big as this Yeah, this is

Iconic They still tour the world with it though One song They'll go and play this five times in a row You pay your tickets Fair enough You pay for that ticket by the way So it's

What, five past six in the morning? It's B-Witch, C'est La Vie Happy St. Patrick's Day everybody We're on the edge Clint, Meg and Dan Oh my gosh Wow B-Witch, Sailor B, happy St. Patrick's Day, everybody. Woo-hoo! We're on the edge. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. Wow.

Epic, epic song to start the morning. Also, that was the same year. That song came out the same year that Kel was born. I know. Shocking, man. 1998. Princess Diana reincarnated. And my must say, Meg, your choice.

Yes. A lot of popularity on the text machine. B-Witch needs a comeback in the rotation. Thanks, Meg. I think we're all a bit puffed, eh? That was a banger. Honestly, I was dancing. I was humping.

You were? You were. When you get really excited and you see a camera, you don't want somebody to hump you. Oh, I was humping. That made me hump for some reason. So we'll be out there every morning. We'll have good luck with you tomorrow, Dan. Thanks for covering Cal.

Clint away today. His family's got gastro. Last time you were in, actually, Cal, I wanted a little bone To pick with you Sorry I'm so pumped Oh god It's pathetic

I was reading through Some comments On a I think it was a video That Cal was covering For us Megan You'll be pissed off With this

Okay Someone said Cal What a snack Oh that's pretty good That's good I'm happy with that Here's the thing

I was kind of like Cal A snack What does a snack even mean A snack's a good thing I would I'm happy with that Here's the thing I was kind of like Cow A snack What does a snack even mean? A snack's a good thing I would feel like Who doesn't like a snack? I love a snack

Snacks are my favourite thing If I'm going to be referred to food I want to be a meal Really? I'd prefer someone to say Oh Dan Hearty stew What a meal

Like you and I Are a couple of big meals Meg aren't we? Don't call me big I didn't call you big Come on mate That's crazy Clip that Clip that.

You did it again. Clip that. You did it again. Meg and I are a meal. Why am I a meal and not a snack? Well, you're with me. I'm lumping myself in with you. Well, you're putting yourself in with me,

so I'm a big meal and so you're a big meal. We're both meals. But he's a snack. I'll take it. Yeah. But, like, honestly, I'd rather be like a big, like you say, a big beef stew or something than a little snack. That's all I'm saying.

You want to get people, you fill people up. No, think about snacks, though. Snacks, like a little, it's usually like a little sweet treat, you know, like, oh, I shouldn't be having this. But, God, it's delicious. Dan fills to the brim. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want you to finish with me. Dan makes you feel sick after.

I couldn't eat any toast. One more, thank you. I am put off. Actually, you know what? I don't need to eat for a week. Almost had too Dan makes you feel sick after. I couldn't eat any toast. One more, thank you. I am put off. Actually, you know what? I don't need to eat for a week. Almost had too much. That's sickly. Yeah, good.

All right, little snake. You're happy with that, though? Oh, yeah. God, yeah. I haven't got a snack. Yeah, good on you, Cal. What did you guys do on the weekend? Dan, you moved.

How was it? Oh, my God. Don't move. Here's the thing. If you're listening right now and you're thinking of moving house, just don't do it. Honestly, our marriage nearly ended three times, Hannah and my wife. Well, I'm happy to hear that you guys are still together. Yeah, we made friends again and we're all

good. But it's just stressful and it puts a lot of pressure on like, we had a two bedroom little house, you know, so it's nothing big. We don't live in a mansion. The amount of stuff we crammed into that little place. You live in a mansion now though? Well, if you compare it to the old place, yes, it is slightly bigger.

But I mean, man, what a time it is. And we like, we were slaving away all weekend from Friday after I finished work

to like 9pm last night non-stop. Is it unpacked though? Do you still have boxes? God no, Meg. Oh God no. I feel like it's 2025 there needs to be easier ways

to move houses. I mean, me and producer Nepia, we have moved houses far out, probably like five times in the past four or five years. And it's just absolutely ridiculous. I mean, me and, you know, producer Nipia, we have moved houses far out, probably like five times in the past four or five years. And it's just absolutely ridiculous.

I agree. Honestly, professionals at this rate are so good. And there's five of us boys as well, which does make it a lot better. Brendan does nothing though. I feel like every time I've packed, I've been told,

and it's true, no matter how long you think it's going to take, double it. Even if you're like, okay, this time, I think I'm going to do it. I'm going to get it done in three days. You're like, you need the week. You need six. Every single to take double it. Even if you're like, okay, this time I think I'm going to get it done in three days.

You're like, you need the week. You need six. Every single time, double it. If someone can come up with a business where I go, I'm moving house and I completely offload everything about the move to someone else, take my money. Yeah. Genuinely. My God, you guys should start it.

If you're so good at it, start a business. And saying that though, Dan, you were gutted that you were paying just any sort of money for movers in the first place. So maybe it's a good business for people that have moved for a second time. Yes. Because they're like, first time, never doing that again. Yeah. Yeah. But my advice is just don't do it.

Just stay where you are. Just live in your crappy house that you're in now. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Clint, Meg and Dan scandal. Demi Lovato has challenged ChatGBT to roast her. I don't know if this is just going around America at the moment. We did this sometime last year, Dan. We did, and it brings home some home truths.

It does. We got them just to look through our Instagram page, which was semi-accurate. I remember seeing that. But I do think being somebody like Demi Lovato with a lot of information on the internet about you, it might be more accurate, right? So I've got a couple of clips here

where she's with her husband, fiance, boyfriend, I've forgotten what he is, and he's reading it out, what chat GBT has written. Demi Lovato has had more rebrands than a failing fast food chain. One minute they're punk rock, the next they're singing pop ballads, and somewhere in between they're beefing with a frozen yogurt. Like babes, just pick a lane, or at least a consistent genre. But hey, credit where credit's due. Demi's voice is undeniable.

If only their decision-making skills were as strong as their vocal cords. So you think I'm a good singer? That why i don't like the the yogurt thing so i remember that was a big thing a couple of years ago she so she went into a yogurt shop and she was pissed off with the yogurt shop because they were offering too many diet alternatives right and she was like it was making her feel like fat and overweight and so she like did this big beef with them online, calling this poor little yogurt shop out for like offering too many healthy alternatives for yogurt. And they were like, oh shit, like sorry.

And I think it like ruined the business because she called them out. Obviously she's got millions of followers. And yeah, she called out that whole company. But it's just little things like that that I'm just like, oh, come on, Demi. She seems to be genuinely, from what I've seen recently, in a really good place than she has been for many years

since her overdose. And I thought maybe there was something that had affected her brain after that overdose. I feel like she was just not herself for many years. And now I look at her and I've been watching her content and stuff. She seems to be thriving. She's very happy in a happy relationship.

She looks like kind of old Demi Lovato again in the way of just like, I don't know, she just looks like her when she was 18. Not what she's taking, but she's definitely aging backwards, that girl. She looks fab. Great. Well, hopefully she's happy and she's, you know. She seems it. Big smiles all the time now.

And I feel like she's struggled a long time. She is one of those people that just has the most, like the brightest, most recognisable smile, right? Stunning smile, eh? What a beautiful smile on that girl. Yeah. Dan, anything nice to say? Oh, look, good on her.

I always say that. And if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say it at all. That's what my mum told me. You say it all the time. Why do you talk half the time? Look, I'm allowed to not like people you've just

contradicted yourself yet again well I just don't want to say anything too bad because I know there's a lot of Derry fans out there

the Clint Megan Dan podcast 30 past well after 30 past 7 6 I don't think anyone ever says

30 it's half past 6 ish on the edge breakfast Clint Megan Dan Clint's away today it's time for this oh no it's time for I don't think you say 30. I don't think anyone ever says 30. Yeah, I'm still working on it. It's half past six-ish. On the Edge Breakfast clip, making Dan Clint's away today. Kel, fill it in. It's time for this. Oh, no, it's time for this.

I can't get, get better to know, know, know you better, better, baby. I wanna get to know you. Yes, it's 30 past six. We do this every day. Yeah, 30-ish past six. Yeah. Stop. We're doing a big hello and get to know you to Abby,

who I believe is also a first-time caller. Let's do it. Let's do it. For the first time in forever. Hello, stranger. For the first time. Hello, Abby. Hi, how are you doing?

Good, Abby. Now, a little bit of information about you is you're a truck driver. You drive Class 5. That is incredible. Is that a biggie? Thank you. Yeah. I can't imagine it's super common for women to be truck drivers,

so that's awesome for you. Do you have any other, like, mates within the industry that are women that truck drivers? Not really, but there is quite a few women drivers now. Yeah, that's so cool because I'd imagine it wasn't, it traditionally hasn't been a woman's job, so it's so good that you're doing it. No, it's not. Did you meet your partner via truck driving?

No, no. Ah, what do they do? What does Archie do? He is a pest control, so he does, like, wildling pines and, like, spraying and stuff. Oh, yeah, they do? What does Archie do? He is a pest control, so he does wildling pines and spraying and stuff. Oh, yeah, cool, cool, cool. I think if I had another life, Abby, I'd love to be a truck driver.

I feel like just that. I thought you wanted to be a bus driver. Well, anything in driving, because I like driving. Clearly I'm not good at it because I failed my licence the other day. But I feel like it would be a cool thing to just you in the road. You set up your cab like you like it, just the heater at the right heat, the radio station you listen to. Yeah, yeah.

Love that. Abby, are you the truck driver, though, that, like, does the little pullover and you let people go past and stuff? Because there are some that do and some that don't. That's a good question. Nah, not really. Yeah? You're like, I'm on the road just as much as you are.

I'd hate to be stuck behind you, Abby. You can pass me if you like. The problem with that is if you pull over, Meg, you lose your momentum and your big rig. Yeah, you do it very hard. Yeah, very hard. All right, I've heard that Abby has broken both arms, her feet and a finger.

Can I confirm, was this at the same time or different times? No, different times. I was just real clumsy as a kid. Oh, okay, because that was going to be my question. It was kind of worded as if it was all the same setup. Okay. Oh, no. Okay, then I'm going to talk about Abby's setup in her truck

because she said she has her own setup in her little truck. Okay. What is Abby's trucking snack? Ooh, okay, so she takes it every day. Okay, don't answer yet, Abby. We're going to answer for you and see which one's right. But, you know, the thing that's like, I've got to have my little something there,

and that's a little snack that she has. So we're not talking about her lunch? No, no, no, no, no. That's something she nibbles away on? I'm going to say it's a V, only because I know truck drivers do like V, from previous conversations. A V, Anna, I think it's going to be,

I think she's a sweet tooth, a bag of lollies, like those natural confectionery snacks. Okay. I reckon she's going coffee., I think she's a sweet tooth. A bag of lollies, like those natural confectionery snakes. Okay. I reckon she's going coffee. Okay, so she's getting her morning coffee. She's got that in the cup holder. And she's also going like a... What does she get?

Yeah, like a... I'm going to go like a muesli bar, but like a booty one, like a bumper bar or something along those lines. Okay, yeah, bumper bar. Yeah. Coffee and a bumper bar. I think that's her kind of morning snack. That's her go-to?

Yeah. I'm going to go for Jack Link's sweet and hot beef jerky. Oh, God, you've got a real textbook truck driver. Yeah, yeah, that's her kind of morning snack. That's her go-to. I'm going to go for Jack Link's Sweet and Hot Beef Jerky. Oh, God, you've got a real textbook truck driver. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I love as well. Okay, no drink. She's just going dry on that. And washing it down with a, I'm going to go specifics.

I'm going to go a black V. Hey, you can't take my V. Get off it. Did you say black V? I said V. You can't take any V. Oh, my God. Okay, nah, nah. You take monster, you're a monster? Hang on, You can't take any V. Oh my God. Abby's so a monster. Yeah, a monster.

Abby's not run of the mill. Let's see what happens. You've got a bumper bar and a flat white tan. I think you're off. Abby, what's your snack of the day in your truck? I'm not, I don't drink energy drinks. Damn it. I try not to eat Like a lot

While driving Because there's not much exercise But I do love an up and go I'm going to give it to dad Yeah I'm going to give it to dad The muesli bar It's sort of the closest really

It's nothing to do with jerky And it's definitely not my energy drink Well done dad I wasn't close really at all But it was a default win Thanks Abby And you remember that That it was a default win

Yeah well you have a fantastic day Abby You stay safe on And you remember that, that it was a default win. Yeah, well, you have a fantastic day, Abby. You stay safe on those roads. Yeah, we'll send you out a voucher as well, Abby. You can spend it, Zed, so you can top up on your snacks while you're driving. Nice. Get some Jack Langs.

Yeah. Clint, Megan, Dan. Let's go. A new day, a new thing to rip millennials to pieces about, and that is our tattoo choices that we did a few years ago. There was one particular one that has been popping up a lot

that celebrities got and I found out over the weekend my husband which just shocks me completely. Man, that man must have changed.

I've been with him for 11 years. So I don't know if this was the year before I got with him because I had no idea that he was into this. He's always been like it, Meg. No, he has not. Surely not. I don't know if this was the year before I got with him because I had no idea that he was into this.

He's always been like it, Meg. No, he has not. Surely not. I don't know. If he had this when I first started to try to date him, I wouldn't have not dated him, but I definitely would have probably seen him a little differently. He wanted to get a little moustache on the end of his finger

so he could do those little photos where you put your finger up to your lip and it's a teeny-tiny moustache. Now the thing is with that, one person did that first. Cara Delevingne. Oh yeah, but I know Cara Delevingne has it or maybe have gotten rid of it. And the hat's off to them. Because good on them, they came up with the idea. It's a funny

little thing. But then the millions of people that have followed suit, I'd argue it's slowly but surely become not a thing. That particular tattoo must have aged terribly. It just feels like such a time, like it's such a specific year. Yeah.

I wonder though if, you know how every generation something new comes back. I mean, low-rise jeans are back and all that kind of stuff. Do you think that tattoo, like really think about it, do you think it'll ever come back in fashion? You know, I just don't know. I don't know. And I don't know if anyone's listening here now.

I don't mean to make you feel bad, but you must feel the same thing that it was. At the time you got it, it would have been the coolest thing you've done in every photo. I mean, the moustache on the finger, you're doing that as a gag. The goal you want is for you to put that up on your mouth and then for people to go brilliant, you are funny. That's hilarious. No one's laughing

at that anymore. Oh God. No one's laughing at the moustache on the finger. And it's one of those things you see people like with those tattoos

and you're like, oh, you're trying so hard to be quirky. In fact, I've just seen a Reddit page of asking like girls who got moustaches tattooed on your finger,

how's it looking? I got it after a friend who was a tattoo artist said it would fade after five years. It's been nine years and it's still there. It's so bad. I had an old boss actually, an old boss that used to work here at The Edge and he wanted me to get a tattoo, I think do a

leaper's autograph on the bottom of my foot for some crazy wacky radio stunt. And I was like, no, and he said, it will rub off within a year. I don't think,

I just don't feel like tattoos do rub off. What are you doing with your leg when it's going to rub off? I think there are places on your body though, I think in between

the fingers can fade. It's washing your hands. Maybe fade, but not go completely. No, definitely not. But the one in your lips, apparently those go in like a few years.

Oh, really? So I've always wanted to What are the state of the ones you've got down there? Oh, yeah, actually, they're very, very faded, but that's because they've had wax in it,

like all that, but they're still there. There's no way, and those are like nearly 15 years old. If you haven't heard, Meg's got a couple of the tattoos down there,

a dedication to her grandparents. Yeah, yeah, yeah, just out of my Brazilian mind. Strange place to put it. Somebody else said that the moustache on the fingers is the same as getting the little stars behind your ear. Oh, yeah. I don't mind that, though.

That was still cool. That was still cool. I think it's like the tramp stamp was like the 80s. Oh, but that is back. Tramp stamps are back. Really? Yep, 100%. Yep, they're coming back.

I'm going to get a little moustache on my back in the tramp stamp area. Is that new? Is that fresh? Yeah, that's pretty cool. I'm going to get a little moustache on my back in the tramp stamp area. Is that new? Is that fresh? Yeah, that's pretty good. What tattoo did you almost get? Or I guess what tattoo aged terribly?

My husband admitted to me over the weekend that he wanted to desperately get one of the little moustaches on the end of his finger. And he's thankful he didn't get it now, but was very close to booking it in. That would have been his first tattoo. That is so millennial. And then we've also said that stars behind the ears, although we still love that and think it's really

cute. I think anything behind the ears I think is kind of cool. It depends I guess what you get anything, right? Someone's text through saying on a stag do I nearly got a dolphin jumping over my belly button. Jesus. It's always a good idea when you're on the stag do and you're getting peer pressure. Yeah, I mean it's kind of cute in a way

but then you sort of step back and go what am I doing? I remember a friend of ours actually on his stag do got his first ever tattoo and it was like this almost like branding it wasn't a branding

but it looks like a branding on his bum and it's like Sam's stag do and it had the date on it and it was like a cartoon and it is so it's so big

and there's no getting rid of it and it's his tattoo on him for the rest of his life for his stag do. Doesn't Casey the Boss have a tattoo on his bum? Does he? Yeah, I think he does. I think he's got a tramp stamp.

We need to, I think, I'm sure he's got, he said he's got a little tramp stamp on his lower back. No, I don't think it's a tramp stamp. I think it's on his butt cheek. He's got a tramp stamp? Maybe I just made that up. I don't know, I'm pretty sure that's a fake. Now we're just making stuff up.

I'd love to know, I'd love to know. But yeah, tattoos, tattoos that age terribly. Yeah, someone's text through saying they're a tattoo artist. And the amount of people, millennials especially, that have come in and got their Harry Potter class on their, like as a tattoo. Like Hufflepuff on their back. That's very millennial.

The Deathly Hallows. The Deathly Hallows tattoo. Yes, yes. Very millennial. I would still get that though. I love Harry Potter. It's iconic. Someone texted through, everyone wanted the shh on their fingers,

like written down, so when you put your finger up to shush, it says. Oh, that way instead of the moustache. Yeah. I've got to stay strong on my wrists at 15, like Demi Lovato. Oh, yeah.

And see, that would be more meaningful if you didn't copy Demi Lovato. Yeah. Someone else has texted you saying, I've got a frog wearing a cowboy hat. I think you're going to be cute. I think that's cute. Safe to say it doesn't look as cute 10 years later though. I know somebody, saying, I got a frog wearing a cowboy hat thinking it would be cute. I think that's cute. Safe to say it doesn't look as cute 10 years later, though.

I know somebody that got their first tattoo right next to their belly button, and they were about 18 at the time, and washboard abs. And since then has had a few children. And the washboards. They've still got abs, but they're just under a bit of meat and gravy. Yeah, I know, and it's been stretched out a few times. She didn't think about how when skin stretches out to have a baby and then goes back, it changes and warps.

Morning when I was 18, I got my star sign on my breast. Cancer 69. Now in hindsight, probably not the best place. Breast, really can't talk much about it back then. That was 18 years old. Yeah, and what does FTP mean? What's FTP? Oh, so it's like,

it's not being very nice to our lovely cops. Our boys in blue. Oh, F the police. Yes. Well, someone's got that tattoo on their shoulder. So that's fantastic. The shoulder's a hard place to hide.

That's hard. So these are the things. I didn't know if I'd get more people saying this is the tattoo I almost got, or it sounds like New Zealanders just go and get it, and now we're just full of tattoo regret. You've just got to do it for the story, eh?

Like Casey the Boss just takes it through. Yup, cheek, knock, jump, stand. What's he got? What's the cheek? Ask Tattoo. I don't know. Does anybody know? Has anyone seen it?

I saw it before. I can't remember what it is. I think it's Best Boss Ever. I think it's a four-leaf clover. A four-leaf clover. He's just a little bit Irish. I think that's best boss ever. I think it's a four-leaf clover. A four-leaf clover. He's just a little bit Irish. I think that's what he's got. Somebody has got your name tattered on their arse.

My name? No, it's so they can say I've got your name on my arse. Very clever. Yeah, that was a lot. Very clever, that one. Speaking of clever, cash strapped next. If you want to win some cash, I've got some money strapped to me. Meg has got some money she's going to offer you.

Which will you choose? I'll quickly go into Casey the Boss. Casey, what's the tattoo on your bum? It's just like a little homemade job. Yep. And so what is it? It's very kind of nice, good. Yeah, but what is it?

It's just Sullivan. It's just Sullivan. And a little, like, kind of Celtic symbol. Celtic! Oh, my God, you're a fan! I was close with. Celtic! I was close with the clover! I was close with the clover! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Yes! Absolutely brilliant. Clearly, we called Casey. He didn't call us because he brought the energy this morning. Clint, Meg and Dan. Win a share of $50,000. Cash. With the edge.

Cash-strapped. Trapped. Yeah, cash-strapped is back for another week. Cash. With the age Cash Strapped. Yeah, Cash Strapped is back for another week. This is how it's gone so far. You've got $800. $700. Did you pay the next year right now, Natalia? You need to call him and tell him he's an idiot. $10.

Oh. $900. $900. Oh, my God. Oh my gosh Did you notice that Still going All of the big numbers Go to Daniel Do you see that

Every time there's a big number That's been yelled It's our daddy boy It's either that Or I'm just really good At yelling numbers And making them sound Bigger than they are

Okay well I'll do that I'll try that tactic This time around Hey morning Kayleigh Good morning. Morning. How was your weekend? Oh, yeah, it was great.

Thank you. How about you guys? Yeah, really, really good. Thank you. Now, last time we did this, Kayleigh, it was Harrison down in Wellington, and he gave away $2,000 at the cost of his teeth. He had, like, bleeding teeth. Someone, like, elbowed him in the face.

Yeah, they did indeed. They did indeed. So hopefully none of us get injured doing this. Kayleigh, you poured bleach on your carpet. How did that happen? Yeah, so two weeks ago, I was taking the bleach bottle and cleaning my house. Just going to the bathroom and I tripped over and I dropped the whole bottle of bleach on like a pot in my lounge. Oh, God.

And yeah, I thought that it would be okay with insurance, but what I've discovered over the, like, trying to work with them is that I don't have the carpet cover insurance. Oh, yes. Apparently, like,

it's an extra. Of course it is. Of course it is. Carpet cover insurance is an extra. I feel like insurance should just be a blanket. Excuse the pun.

I mean, how's it content, right? Yeah. Why do they have to anyway? Kayleigh, what colour is your carpet? Like, what's the colour difference now? It's dark grey. Oh, yeah, so it'd be bright yellow now. Alright, so Meg's going to make it. Okay, okay. Well, Kaylee,

right now, in this very moment, you could take home $200! Wow! Really, really, that was good, Meg. Put some glitter on a bit of a shirt there. Thank you.

I think I'll still go with this. So the cheeky yelling doesn't help. Okay, so you want to lock it in? You want to go to see what cash is strapped to me? I'll lock it in, please. Okay, here we go, Kayleigh. I'm going into the best. To be fair, mine was a bit of a crap offer.

Okay, Kayleigh. I'm going into the best. To be fair, mine was a bit of a crap offer. Okay. Kayleigh, your carpet is no longer going to look bleached because I am sending you $750! Wow! Amazing! Thank you so much! Yeah, that's definitely better. That's definitely better.

I can't deny it. Oh, well, well done. You could almost buy. That's definitely better. That's definitely better. I can't deny it. Oh, well, well done. You could almost buy a new carpet for that. You definitely couldn't. I'm getting new carpet at the moment. I'm going through Harrison's. And good prices, great prices, but definitely not $750. You can maybe do it covered.

Yeah, that's a real good ad for Harrison's carpet one. Good prices, but definitely not $750. I would say that. I'd be glad I said that because if I said you could get carpet for $750, that'd be pissed. Unless it's a very small patch, I'm sure you could. You could maybe get a front door mat for that. Yeah, they're amazing.

Congratulations, Kayleigh. Your next chance to play is coming up at 8. Clint, Meg and Dan. Guys, we talked about this last week. In fact, Meg, you were very privy to this conversation about my beautiful wife, Hannah. And the hobby that she's got into, and it's not a new hobby, she's been doing this for a while,

tarot card reading. I think it's a bit woo-woo, if I'm honest. Yes. And there's a lot of people out there that probably do a little bit of amateur reading with tarot. I just never, I could never imagine this for your wife, but I'm excited to see how good she is. Yeah, she's done readings for me before

in the past and she's really into it. Like, she's got a little notebook which she makes notes in about different cards and like, she's handwritten all the notes out. She's got numerous books on tarot reading. And she's always done this? Hasn't been a new thing? She's done it before I knew her. Oh, right. So she's been going for a very, very long time and like everything

with Hannah, if she does something, she goes full in. Passionate. Yeah, yeah, that's what I love about her. She's a horse rider and she's been going for a very long time and like everything with Hannah, if she does something, she goes full in. Passionate. She's a horse rider and I reckon if she put her mind to it, she could be at the Olympics. She's that good. Yeah, she is amazing like that. So you told me in the past that you have to get gifted your cards. Yeah, so she was gifted them.

Which we'll talk about later, very, very shortly. But I got her to do a very simple reading last night on me. At Clint's request. He was the one that was very passionate about this happening. It's because we had a blood moon over the weekend, which apparently is the best time to charge your cards. Yeah, and I'd asked her quite early on,

before she did the reading, if she had in fact charged her cards. Okay, Hannah, have you mooned your cards first? I have mooned my cards. Well, now she's split the deck. Now she's issuing me one card. It's a fist holding two sticks. There's now a man that looks like half goat, half man,

and two naked children holding hands under the sun. Also, I've just realised that the middle one's the devil, so that's not good, is it? I've just done a really quick pass present future, and so the pass is the two of wands. Wands is a really energetic suit. I'm going to go with positivity and a relationship close to you.

Is that you and I? Currently, present is the devil. The relationship's doomed. No, the devil usually indicates restraint, whether that's self-imposed or by somebody else. BDSM or something? No, well, I mean, it could do if you look at it. No, but more means emotional, like, restraint.

Yeah, so for what it looks like, our relationship's going through a little bit of turmoil. Right. I then asked her, because Clint was... He'd already messaged us last night saying he wasn't going to be in. Yeah. And his whole family's got gastro. He had avoided, at this point, avoided...

Yeah, we still don't know if he's gone down or not. We need to text him, actually. But I asked her if he's going to, in fact, get the gastro bug. Clint also messaged me last night wanting to know if he's going to get the shits like the rest of his family. Just deal one card, maybe, just to find out. Ooh, so she's pulled out a card with a man drowning. Hopefully that's not a shit.

Why aren't you laughing? Why aren't you laughing? Because I feel sorry for Clint. Yeah, Sipsy Hannah takes it very seriously. I feel sorry for him. She's like, yeah, he is going to drown in his shit. Dad, it's not funny. I asked her to do a quick show reading as well about our show, the three of us.

What about the future of the show? Here she goes. Oh, she's dubbed that same man again. Oh, it's a different man. So it's another drowning man. But there's four... He's holding up a branch with four things coming off it. Oh, that sounds good.

Positive. It's not a drowning man. Anyway, that's actually a really positive card in terms of material wealth. Oh, we're all getting pay rises. Everybody's getting a pay rise. Brilliant stuff. Meg's got her negotiations coming up. I do.

So she'll be happy to hear that. And finally, this was where the truths came out because I asked her. She was packing up her stuff after the tarot reading. And we got talking about the cloth that she wraps them in. What else? Oh, what's Meg's baby going to be or girl a witch no it was a essentially a random stranger that I struck up a conversation once with when I worked at movies and then later the person came in and gave me a bunch of tarot cards. Oh, was this another guy? Some dude, some hot dude that you were flirting with? Was it actually Hannah? Right. So Hannah was gifted her tarot cards by some guy that... Was hitting on me, yeah.

He was wanting to like screw you so he like gave you some tarot cards. I don't know but I got the tarot cards and he got nothing. So there we go. Brilliant. So there you go. Wow, what an interesting way to hit up a person. Yeah, it was just this random guy. Wow, interesting. So I wanted to know this morning. 0800 The Edge, text 33343.

Let's open it out to tarot readings, psychic readings. I don't believe in it, even though Hannah, my wife, does them. I just think it's just this thing. It's just so wishy-washy. You can just make it up as you go along. Has anyone had a reading where it's been out the gate but it came true? All right, Dan's wife, Hannah, is a tarot reader. Not a professional.

She does it as a hobby. It's a spare time hobby. And Dan doesn't believe it. He doesn't believe in it. And he would love some undeniable proof of when it has happened to you. I got a reading, oh my God, years ago, years ago, years ago. And I remember them telling me that I was going to move to Christchurch and get into the university that I wanted to. And then a few years later, I decided I wanted to go to broadcasting school,

which happens to be in Christchurch. And I had almost an air of arrogance about me because I remember the tarot card really told me about it. And then I didn't get in. And it was the first thing me and mum talked about when I didn't get in. We were like, well, that was a load of crap. And then, sure enough, three days later, they rang me and said we'd have someone drop out.

And I did move and get in. Once the arrogance got out of your brain, the universe was like, she deserves it again. Oh, yeah, there you go. She's been totally sinned. But there were other things that came up about talking about my partner that I'm now married to with Guy. And you do sit there and go, am I twisting my life around this narrative

or did they read something? I never know. I'm of the twisting around the narrative ilk. So I'm making it fit because I want it to. Yes. But I'm willing to, you know, be proven wrong. And there's a lot of people that have texted through and called through. All right, let's get straight into phones

because we've got a lot of people to get through. Jane, six years ago, what happened? So I had a reading six years ago that I got, anyway, long story short, I got told that I would meet someone in Italy with a masquerade mask. Five, four, five, two years ago now, I was in Italy, in Venice, and

if you've ever been to Venice, you know that a lot of the shops there have the masquerade mask hanging up. Yeah. And that's where I met my now current boyfriend. Oh. Okay. Now, were you planning on going to this place before you had the reading? No.

Sorry. No. Yes. No, I wasn't. Wow. Okay. So, yeah, I mean, look, it's uncanny. I'll give you that.

It's definitely, I mean, you could have, again, like Meg says, you could have sort of planned your life around it after the reading, but it is still crazy that you met the guy there. Do you think, Jane, there's any way that after being told by a tarot reader or a card reader that you would meet someone with a masquerade in Italy? Once you went there and you saw a masquerade place and you walked in, you were more open to getting to know the person in there because of the reading

rather than just walking straight past? No, I didn't even think about it until I came back and told a friend and they were like, oh, what about your reading? Oh, there's a higher power at work. That one's good, that one's good, that one's good. Okay, thank you, Jane. Okay, let's go to KK.

Undeniable proof, please. Okay, about 25 years ago, I had a tarot reading. Right. And among other things, this lady told me that one day I would move and live to New Zealand. At the time, living in England, laughed it off, definitely was not on the cards. But here I am right now today, driving to work, and I've lived in Christchurch for 16 years. Now, my question to you now then is, Kay, did you move here because the person that did the reading suggested you do that, or was it a higher power that made you move here?

No, the higher power was my husband. Definitely was not on the cards for me. Steve! And I know nobody knew about that reading. Only one other person knows I had that reading. So definitely nothing to do with Steve. Wow. Could have been anywhere. Okay, thank you, Kay.

Let's also go to Emma. Emma, we're trying to look for undeniable proof that tarot readings or palm readings can come true. Hi, Steve. How are you doing? Good. So what happened to you? Undeniable proof.

So for you, Dan, I had a reading quite a few years ago. Actually, I've had a couple, but this one in particular has really stuck with me. Yeah. So I was in my reading and I wanted the lady to tell me what my nana thought of my then husband. Right. So she said, you know, she's really, she likes him, but she's not very happy with him. And he keeps coughing. I was like, well, that's what he is.

And she's, does he smoke? And I was like, well, that's what he is. And she's, does he smoke? And I was like, no, he doesn't smoke. So anyway, we got it reported, and I went home and told my husband, and we were listening to it, and he was kind of a bit funny about it. And he was like, oh, actually, I've been smoking for about two years. Oh, my goodness. And he'd never told me. Wow.

So, and the tarot reader, or the person that you were getting the reading from, would have not known that at all? No, not at all, no. Wow. And the tarot reader or the person that you were getting the reading from would have not known that at all? No, not at all, no. Wow. Okay, we'll see. Your husband's like, bloody narc, Nan. He was pretty pissed off. What a bitch, what a narc.

Thanks, Emma. Okay, Dan, there's three. Yeah, look, to be honest, it's made me open my mind a little bit about it. But there's always coincidence you can't you can't take that fully out of the equation I do think

yeah I do wonder if we're wrapping it I like I don't know I would love if we had audio proof of the tarot reading

because I'm wondering if I remember mine differently 15 years later yeah but we'll never know because you didn't record it that's a shame

sorry about that god Clint, Megan, Dan stinky boo I lost my husband last night for a wee bit mentally. No, for like a few hours. Just for a wee bit. You came in today.

I completely, well, I did in a spiritual, physical form. And he was gone to F1. Dinner, it was playing through dinner. It was playing while I was making dinner. And even when I went to bed. So I'm guessing the big race happened yesterday. It was the first race of the season, the new season, Melbourne Grand Prix. And it's a big season this year because obviously Lewis Hamilton

has made the switch from Mercedes to Ferrari. And Liam Lawson, big, big move for him this year. He's Max Verstappen, the world champion's teammate this year. And Liam's the Kiwi boy. Kiwi, Kiwi driver, Liam Lawson. And had a shocker of a race. Qualified terribly, crashed out during the race. Liam did?

Liam did. Oh, no. And I was looking through a lot of the social media of it on the weekend. Like, unbelievably shocking the amount of, like, negativity that comes through for sports people around the world. Especially in New Zealand. I saw a couple of posts from, you know, New Zealand websites that were sharing the news that Liam had crashed out. Keep in mind, he is a rookie.

He's in his rookie season. Yes, he's done Formula One races before, but this is his first full-time season. The amount of slating he did from fellow Kiwis is just shocking. We are particularly bad with that. I'll never forget a different sport, but I think it was the World Cup a few years ago, and it came down to, like, penalty just shocking. We are particularly bad with that. I'll never forget different sport but I think it was the World Cup

a few years ago and it came down to like a penalty shootout and there was one kid who was a kid like 18 years old and he missed the goal

and oh the racism that came out from around the world because this 18 year old kid like missed the kick.

Yeah it's the worst. It brings out the worst in every human watching sports and watching who they want to win, fail. But how dare you sit behind a keyboard and bring someone down that is, like, putting themselves out there, living their dream, and you're just, like, completely bringing them down.

I have absolutely no time for anybody that does that. I'm sick of it happening in New Zealand. It's really prevalent here, and it needs to stop. It really does. What do you think about, it's just one of those things that you get with the gig, like, you know, okay, let me put it in a different scenario. When Chapel Roan complains about parts of her job because she has people stalking her, coming up

to her day and night, stalking her parents' house and you're like, well, that's what part of the gig you get paid a hell of a lot of money. You're a pop star. Liam Lawson gets paid shit tons of money. And so you're going to get some bad feedback. Yeah, I know. But I mean, he's a real human being and he probably reads a lot of this feedback. Well, it's always Chapel Run.

Yeah. I know. And they are. I'd imagine it's for both of them. Yeah. And to certain degrees, I just am in this world because I love Formula One and I watch it. And I probably see more of the comments than Chaperone gets. But it's, yeah, it's so, so bad.

And I'd hate to be in his brain right now, like, seeing some of those comments. Does that mean he's out now? Yeah, so what happens now? Is he done? No, no, no. He goes on to the next race. Right, he does still. But, like, it would get in your head, I'm sure.

It would me. It would me. All I'd see is a couple of comments being like, he's not good enough and it'd just really stuff with your head. I'm sure then he'll go out and get a $4,000 dinner and be all right. It would me. It would me. All I'd see is a couple of comments being like, he's not good enough, and it'd just really stuff with your head. I'm sure then he'll go out and get a $4,000 dinner and be all right. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, the money does help, but it's not everything.

I'm kidding. It's not everything. Clint, Meg and Dan. Clint, Meg and Dan scandal. Brad Pitt's latest movie has been, well, the trailer has been released. It's about Sonny Hayes, who was the greatest that never was,

so that's what Sonny was dubbed, who Brad Pitt plays in Formula One's most promising phenomenon of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. And then 30 years later, he's a nomadic racer for hire when he's approached by his former teammate. That's what the story is. It's a true story, I believe, Aidan? No, I don't think Sonny Hayes was a real person. So it's a fictional character that they've made up. But the surroundings of Formula One is real.

Wow. Oh, this whole time I thought it was real. Yeah. So it's a dramatised kind of look into Formula One. And they filmed it all of last season, I think a little bit of the season before, during Formula One races. So Brad Pitt was at most races racing a Formula One car, and so a lot of it is filmed during practice sessions and stuff.

Wait, was he actually racing in the races? Yeah, he was driving the car. What? Yeah. No, he wasn't racing in the big races, but they filmed at the track during the weekends. Right. And so everything you see is real.

I think a lot of the Formula One drivers are in the movie, like play cameos. So it's an official Formula One movie. It looks awesome. Yeah, it looks really cool. It's made by Apple Original Films and the filmmakers of Top Gun Maverick. You'll be excited about this, Cal.

The audio is Hans Zimmer. Stop! Yeah, the composer. No! Yes, he's Hans Zimmer. I don't care at all about cars, but I'll watch it now. So have a listen to just a part of the trailer that we can get into.

Some people look at Sonny Hayes. They see a guy who lives in a van. A gambling junkie who missed his shot. The best that never was. But I see Possibility And if you don't Wow, looks good, eh? Yeah, it looks really, really cool

It's coming out June 27th And, ooh, permission to be Like, sound probably horribly judgy here Yes, please Everyone can do whatever they like with their bodies and their faces.

I really enjoy seeing Brad age gracefully. I'd say. He, the man, is full of wrinkles. Somehow he's got them in, like, what you would say

is the hot places, like the smile lines and stuff. But I struggle, and this is so bad, but I do struggle with seeing older actresses and actors

where they can't move their faces anymore. In these movies that they're doing in their 50s and 60s, and I can't see frown lines or I can't see them make real expressions with their face. That's acting, right? You should be able to move your face. Somebody who's fantastic at not feeling like they have been pressured into changing their looks

is Amy Lou, Amy Lou Wood, is that her name? And she's in White Lotus at the moment. She's got her same original teeth, no veneers, and she's got lots of frown lines and expression on her face. And it's obvious that Brad doesn't look like he's had any work done, which I'm so happy to see. Not that it matters. Not that, you know, blah, blah, blah.

But yeah, very hot. You want to see it? F1 to 3343. I send you back the link. It looks amazing as well. I reckon it's going to be one of the biggest movies of the year if you take into account the audience that Formula 1 has now because of Drive to Survive, the Netflix show.

It's gone through the roof. And the weird thing is, the crazy thing, and I think this is amazing, 30% now of all of Formula 1's audience are women, which never used to be the case. Wow, that's very cool. So that's crazy. And I think it's just going to keep getting more and more popular.

So can't wait to see the movie. Yeah, epic. Brilliant. All right, so today is St. Patrick's Day. If you didn't know, happy St. Paddy's. Yeah. I feel like it used to get more hype like five to ten years ago than it does now in New Zealand.

Do you think that's because you were going to the parties? Possibly. But let's bring the hype back next. It is St. Paddy's Day. Who the f*** is that guy? Possibly. But let's bring the hype back next. It is St. Paddy's Day. Who the f*** is that guy? And we hear that Castle Street goes off on St. Paddy's Day. Well, yeah, there's a few people that have checked.

I didn't know this. Like, I knew there'd be a party at some point today in Dunedin. But it's been going since apparently 4am this morning. It happens every year. Oh, bro, we've had texts. Dunedin students are a different breed of people. So we've got a couple of people that have called through already. Rebecca being the first one.

Yeah, Rebecca, are you at the parties or are you avoiding them? Yeah, no, definitely not at the parties. I'm just driving to work and I work at the hospital so near the student area

and there is hundreds of students on the streets all over the parties. No. And they've been on it for a while. They're cooking barbecues, they're bongs.

Like, it's hundreds of people. Jesus. Oh, my God, Rebecca. It's hundreds. Yeah. It's 748. So, paint the picture. Is Castle Street and the surrounding areas kind of packed?

Has the parties moved on to the roads? Well, I'm actually not near Castle Street. Yeah. It's obviously extended past Castle Street. I'm sort of up Pitt Street, Harriet Road, Queen's Drive, which is there's hundreds of people all over, all very green, and they all look like they're having a great time. Oh, that's good.

Right, okay. Well, this is good because we've got another person, Keita, who is... Keita, who's in a flat, I believe. Yeah. Let's go, Keita. Morning, Keita. Go, go, go! Okay, so I think Rebecca's spotted you probably.

So how long, when did you guys start this morning? Where were you? We were supposed to start at four, but we started at five. Okay, so you slept in. Okay. Five before nine. Okay, Keita, are you in a flat? Are you wandering the streets at the moment?

Are you getting a sausage at the barbecue? We're in a flat. Okay, Keita, are you in a flat? Are you wandering the streets at the moment? Are you getting a sausage at the barbecue? We're in a flat. Okay. This is incredible. And so how many people are down? It sounds sort of quiet where you are. So is there music playing? Whereabouts are you going next?

We've only got five in our room right now. Okay. We turned the music off so we could hear you guys because this is important. Oh, you're okay. Very responsible. Very responsible. We love you. okay. Very responsible, very responsible. We love you. Okay, all right.

Go out now while we're talking to you. Go out into where everybody is and then go and just yell, Dunedin, it's St. Paddy's Day. For a while. We have to go down the elevator. Oh, no. Don't worry about it. What about opening the window?

Opening the window and yelling it out. We can tell them. Here they go. I don't think they heard what you said. What sort of flat has an elevator? Come on. All right, look after yourselves, girls. Please be careful.

Yeah, this is incredible. What's up? Now there's more and more people calling through. I mean, we don't have time to go to the mall. I'm getting FOMO. It sounds amazing. I reckon it's so fun. My daughter started 6 before 6 a.m.

Wine till 9. Unbelievable. Oh, 6 before 6 a.m. Yeah, 6 before 6 a.m. Oh, my God. Man, it just makes me feel sick and queasy thinking about it. Yeah, so if you're down in Dunedin or anywhere around the country partying for St. Paddy's Day today, stay safe, have fun.

St. Paddy's Day, I wish we'd play fun. St. Paddy's Day, Irish or Irish, we play this every year. Maybe this is the year it dies. Yeah. Maybe this is the final year. That's a classic, isn't it? On St. Paddy's Day, you call us, you do an Irish accent. It's just a fun accent to do, if you can do it, which I don't think I'm very good at. You're very good at it.

Go. Ooh. She hasn't even done it yet. She's just said oh. Let me focus. Okay, I'm hearing it in my head. Let me see if it can come through my mouth. Okay. Oh, I like delicious.

Stop. What the hell is that? I'm a mimicker. So if I hear somebody else do one, I'll be able to copy them. Okay, well there you go. So you didn't mimic it all there. I think it should just go like this to be sure. I think I else do one, I'll be able to copy them. Okay, well, there you go. So you didn't mimic it all there. I think you should just go like this, to be sure, to be sure. I think I can do an Irish. Potatoes. No, you've never been able to do it, Meg.

So we're going to go to the phones. If you can fool us, by the way, we've got a prize up for grabs. So it might not be your accent at all. You might be, you know, true blue Kiwi, you know, talk like this. But if you can put on a good Irish accent and fool us, good on you. All right, we've got Liam. Liam, Liam, Liam, we know you're Irish. We literally saw you like two weeks ago.

We know you're in Ireland. You're not going to fool us. Yeah, I was going to try and fool you with a Kiwi accent. Oh, you know, okay, do you Kiwi accent? Do you Kiwi, yeah. I'll cure a mate. How's it going, bro? That's almost as good as Meg's Irish.

I do think when I listen to Liam... Meg does a good Irish accent. When I listen to you, I was actually really good at, whenever I was talking to your wife, Emma, I felt like I could copy her quite well, but now I've lost it. So that's a shame.

Why don't we try and get Liam to say something in his accent and then you try and copy it. Okay, you say something, Liam, a sentence, and I'll copy. Jesus. Okay, my name is Meg. I'm the sexiest lady in New Zealand.

My name is Meg. No, it's gone. Why do you do that? I can't do it. And this is why we will never do Irish or Irish ever again.

I think it's the end of it. I think it's officially dead in the water. Thanks for calling on Liam. How are you? How's Ireland today? I bet it's a big day. There's going to be more time tomorrow, right?

Well, yeah, tomorrow's Monday. It's bank holiday. So tonight is the big night of celebration. So we're just kind of taking a break now to have dinner. And we're going back out celebrating again. I know you don't drink. So what do you do for St. Paddy's Day? Do you still celebrate?

Oh, 100%. Yeah, definitely celebrate. They have Guinness zeros and other beers with zeros. That's all good. I got my husband, because he doesn't really drink anymore either, Liam. I got him a Guinness zero on Friday, just on Friday, to celebrate. And he said it was an awesome, like, very close to the real Guinness. Yeah, it's so close.

Yeah, it's very good. It's the next best thing. Good on you, Liam. You take care. You have a fun St. Paddy's Day. We'll be thinking of you. And bless you for listening. Yeah, happy St. next best thing good on you Liam you take care you have a fun St Paddy's Day we'll be thinking of you and bless you for listening

yeah happy Paddy's Day see you guys thinking of you love you all love you Liam thanks mate and the funny thing is no one else called

it's done it's done it's the last one let's have a moment for Irish or I wish oh no Emily's calling I'm going to answer on the fly she's probably

she's probably calling for cash strapped and she hung up here we go Irish or I wish. Oh, no, Emily's calling. I'm going to answer on the fly. She's probably calling for cash-strapped. Oh, yeah, that's true. And she hung up. Here we go. Irish or I wish? Stuff, yeah. Brilliant.

See, we'll never do it again. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. Win a share of $50,000. Cash. With the edge. Cash-strapped. Trapped.

Trapped. Your chance to win your share of the money. All you have to do is call us or text us 3343 and hope to get through. Other than that, then you've won cash. It just depends on how much it's going to be. This is our fourth week of doing this, isn't it? Giving away so much money. I know, we're hemorrhaging money.

Zara, morning. Oh my gosh, good morning, guys. Well done, Zara. You are the person that's managed to get through. You will be getting cash. It's just down to you on how much you get to take home. Let's go. What do you need money for?

So I have been trying to get a diagnosis for ADHD, but the diagnosis is like $1,400, basically, and I'm a full-time student, so I can't afford that. This is a cause very, very close to my heart. I was diagnosed with ADHD late in life just a year ago, just over a year ago now, and I think it genuinely has changed my life, Zara, in a good way. A lot of the time a diagnosis of anything is a bad thing, but getting diagnosed with ADHD really explains a lot

and makes you sort of live life better. Do you have to pay that amount of money even if they come back and they go, no, you don't have any ADHD and your brain is like neuronal? Good question. Yeah, you do. What? Yeah, there's things that you could, like they can give you

coping mechanisms, they can give you help, you know, whether it be talking to a psychiatrist or anything like that. So I think you're doing a great thing. Let's get you some money. Okay. whether it be talking to a psychiatrist or anything like that. So I think you're doing a great thing. Let's get you some money. Okay, Zara, I don't have that amount for you, but I am offering you $400 this morning. Okay. That's a pretty good offer.

I mean, it can be a bit more expensive to get an ADHD diagnosis. $400? Dan, you're talking, it's $400. I know. For free, she's had one phone call, it's all yours. Okay. Do you really want to like potentially lose that? No.

Cal, what do you think? Oh, Cal. Ysara's a big listener of the Edge Nights. Okay. Good friend of mine, Ysara. Yeah, good on you. I feel like you're asking the wrong person. I'm always risking for the best, girl.

I mean, you came here with nothing. He's always going to go for the best. He's always going to go for the best. He's always going to go for the best. Regardless, you came here with absolutely nothing. So stupid, Cal. But that's so dumb. Yeah, but live life on the edge. I don't know.

Now I feel bad. If it were me, I would take the best. Yeah. Okay. So Cal's giving you the advice. I tend to sort of disagree with Cal. I think that you've came with nothing. This is the first time I've ever done this.

I wonder whether going with Meg and taking that money, it's a pretty generous offer from Meg, I'd go with it. I don't want you to risk the money. I'm just nervous you'll risk it and go away with nothing, and then you don't have anything to go towards the ADHD diagnosis. But it's up to you. What do you want to do? I don't know.

We're going to lock something in. Cal's saying do it. Dan's saying don't. What is your decision? Fast. Okay, I hope I We're going to lock something in. Cal's saying do it. Dan's saying don't. What is your decision? Fast. Okay, I hope I'm not going to be gutted. Dan did have $700 an hour ago. I doubt he'll have more than that.

You never know. Come on, Zara. Okay, we're taking the $400. Why do I make sounds sad? Zara, you just won yourself $400. $400, Zara. It's exciting. $400, all yours, absolutely free.

We do have to find out what was in the vest, Dan. Okay, well done, Zara. I'm going into the vest right now. Good luck to you. You know what? It's only a little bit more than Meg offered, so if you'd gone with the vest, it would have been $500. But I think it's fine.

It's not like it was $1,000. Yeah, that's not that bad. It's not that painful. You still, remember, you still have $400, Zara. Yeah, $400 is a lot of money, Zara. Congratulations. Hey, good luck with your diagnosis as well.

Yeah, it's such a journey as well. It can take a long, long time. I think it's changing a little bit now in New Zealand as well where it's hopefully going to be a bit quicker for some people. Good, as it should. It can be a bit of a journey. We have the wonderful Mitch James, friend of the show,

just friend in life anyway, on the show this morning because it was his last ever festival that he played homegrown over the weekend since announcing his retirement, Mitch. Mitch, are you officially, is the word you're using, retirement? Or taking a break? It is for now. It is? It is for now, yeah.

I think we'll re-evaluate in a few years' time. I definitely need the break. And Saturday was, it sort of reaffirmed it for me in a strange way, but I absolutely loved it at the same time. Yeah, how bittersweet was, which song I think was the hardest that you were like, this is the last time I'm going to get this sung back to me for now? Yeah, I think I was just, I was totally in the

flow state for the whole time apart from the last song and I was very much taking it in for Sunday morning at the end and yeah, I got a little bit emotional on stage and backstage and yeah, I got a little bit emotional on stage and backstage. I can imagine. Yeah, it was very much a poignant moment, if you will.

And I was just so grateful for the whole journey. You guys know that it's been 10 years of grafting away and lots of ups and downs. And the music industry is a crazy, crazy place. So yeah, it was definitely, I was just, I was so nervous for the first little bit. And then I got in the flow state and was the last one that really hit me. Yeah, they say when you hear the word retirement, you imagine sort of like an old person, you know, they're hanging up there, whatever they were doing,

and they're not working, they're moving into a Ryman. And, you know, like things are finishing up for them. But that's not the case for you, though, right? You're just hanging up, obviously, for now, your singing career. But what's next for Mitch James? I'm really loving getting into the sports media world at the moment. I've got a few plans and things that I've been working on for a while. And that's sort of been my passion, Dan, for my whole life.

Even before music, I always wanted to be a sports commentator and sort of get into that area of things. And I've had a few doors open that I've been really enjoying with, you know, in the racing world and with the Warriors, which I'm enjoying heaps. And I've got my own sort of idea that I've been working on too. So, yeah, the hope idea that I've been working on too so yeah the hope is is that I basically go into this and sort of find another passion but also refine the passion for music in the in the next few years because it sort of all just became this one big blur and

you know the the creative process which I enjoyed so much at the start sort of became this like commercially based thing in my head where instead of like writing songs for the love of it I was creative process which I enjoyed so much at the start sort of became this like uh commercially based thing in my head where instead of like writing songs for the love of it I was trying to um chase the dragon of the songs that yeah that um succeeded and and did all these tens of millions of plays and you know you're sort of always chasing that dragon and um I I started off doing it because I absolutely loved it and it was sort of my creative outlet and you know then you take in people stealing money

off you whether it's from shows or from labels and I basically was just like I'm not enjoying this anymore and I just want to step away, do something I love for a bit and hopefully refine that love for music

and the process of music in the meantime. Yeah, well, I think we can speak for everybody that we're going to miss Mitch James' music. Obviously, it'll still be around. It's not like it's disappearing. Yeah, have you got your final album to release? When's that happening? Yes, that should be in late April.

Okay, cool. Again, this is another reason why I've sort of disliked the industry for so long is that once you step away, these people that are sort of quote-unquote on your team, they disappear and they stop working for you. And the album was meant to be out in November, and then producers try to basically scam more money off of me, and they're withholding the tracks. And it was a very frustrating process

but it's an amazing album as a songwriter. I'm so, so proud. Yeah, Meg, you've heard the songs. I've been lucky enough to hear it. Oh, really?

In full. I feel like a very long time ago I'm gagging for it to be released and released out of you, Mitch. Yeah, so well done, Mitch.

We love you and we'll always be here if you ever want to release new music. We'll be hopefully your first port of call. Yeah, please. Yeah. Always, always. Mitch. We love you, and we'll always be here if you ever want to release new music. We'll be, hopefully, your first port of call. Yeah, please. Yeah. Always, always.

No, I love you guys. Thanks so much for the support over the years, and I'll see you all soon in my personal life, that's for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See you, mate. I think he's going to help you move some furniture, isn't he, soon, Mitch?

Oh, he doesn't know that yet. He doesn't know that yet. That's how you sold it to me. Mitch was going to be there. Very quickly, Mitch, are you keen to come and help me move some stuff in my house because I'm getting a new carpet?

Say no. Yeah, look, I'm in. Yeah, cool, thank you. Okay, I'll be there as well. He's retired from music, so I guess he'll be there. Clint, Meg and Dan. We're talking about festival confessions.

These can be old ones, but obviously, possibly over the weekend, new ones. If you're homegrown over the weekend, don't try and pull the wool over my eyes that nothing went down at homegrown. I know something happened. Meg, you can't beat Wellington on a good day. And when it a homegrown over the weekend, don't try and pull the wool over my eyes that nothing went down at homegrown. I know something happened.

You can't beat Wellington on a good day. And when it's a good day in Wellington, things happen. Stuff would have happened at the festival. I don't know if people

would have been with people they shouldn't have been with. I don't know if you were naughty. I don't know what it was, but this is your place to have an anonymous confession about something that went down

at the festival. And you're right, there's been like dozens actually of festivals this festival. And you're right, there's been like dozens, actually, of festivals this year in New Zealand. Yes, it's been a huge summer for festivals. Fisties season is long, it is. It gets longer every year. Yeah, it does, eh? So we've got

a couple of people that have already called through on this. Yeah, let's go to Hamish. Hamish is fine without being anonymous, Producer Carl. Okay. Wonderful. Okay, let's go to Hamish. Hamish is keen to give us his confession. Hello, Hamish. Hey, guys. Okay, morning, Hamish.

So one of the nights I was at this camping festival, and I got in my head, you know, like organic collections people have outside their house. You leave something out, it's just fair game for anyone to take. 100% love them. Love them, yeah. Yeah, so in my head, that was what was happening

at this camping festival and I just went on a solo mission and took as many camping chairs as possible and just circled them around my tent. So I woke up in the morning and there was a ring of

camping chairs everywhere. And so all these other people would have been like, where's my chair gone? Yeah, I don't get that sort of class just stealing their home. I would say that is, yeah, that is. And why the ring around? Do you have no idea, I don't get that sort of class just stealing their home. I would say that is, yeah, that is.

And why the ring around? Do you have no idea? I don't know why. It was like a kind of protection spell. It was sort of a good, fun idea at the time, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the thing is as well, I feel like maybe on the last day

when everyone leaves their tents and everything can't be bothered packing it up, that's all good. What day was it? Like day one you did it or? Yeah, cancer night. Yeah, day one. So Hamish,

you belong in jail my friend. Thanks for calling through and obviously we're not going to judge. He did it and I'm sure they got the back. Have we got the voice disguiser on?

Kel? Do you know what you're doing there? Oh my God, now this is asking a lot of us. Hang on, I might be able to figure this one out. Okay, so here we go.

We should have really talked about this before the break. Yeah, sorry, I didn't really think about that before going to this part. We could just go to this person. And we'll go this one. And Okay, so here we go. We should have really talked about this before the break. Yeah, sorry, I didn't really think about that. I forgot this button. We could just go to this person. We'll go this one.

And then that one there. And then line two. Oh, I know. This one here. Aha. Okay. No, that's not it. It's this one here.

I'm going to go back to Hamish and check if it works on him first. Okay. Hamish, can you talk for a second? How you going? No, that has not worked. Okay. I think she'll be right.

Just ask for an anonymous name, but don't worry about the voice. Okay, so this is an anonymous name. I'm giving you the anonymous name of Hannah. Hi, Hannah. Morning, Hannah. Hi. Hi, guys. What was your festival confession?

So it was Northern Base. The year that it was, like, really, really muddy. Okay. And it was about five minutes to the countdown. I was with all my friends. It was a great time and the mud was up to my knees. Brilliant. I realised I actually really needed to pee.

But it's up a hill. Yeah. And so I didn't trust myself to get all the way there and all the way back in under five minutes to be there for the countdown. Yeah. So naturally, I just peed my pants in the mosh. I can see why you wanted the worst disguise. Wait, hang on.

Let's just try something really quickly. And then we're going to go here. Okay, Hannah, talk. Hello? Oh, that's better. So the thing is, he's already already told the story, but that's too late, really.

I just wanted to prove that I can figure things out. I've done that, though. I've done the same as Hannah. I've done the prove that I can figure things out. I've done that, though. I've done the same as Hannah. I've done the same where I haven't completely left the mosh, but I've pretended to take a phone call and walk to the side and, you know, squatted and done a pee and then walked to the bath. Now, again, your voice disguise is not on. Yeah, but it's fun.

I get it, Hannah. You just do what you've got to do. I wouldn't say in the mosh, but I wouldn't pee my pants. One more question for Hannah, actually. Oh, Jesus. Did you actually peed your pants? You were wearing pants? Yeah. wash, but, and I wouldn't pee my pants. One more question for Hannah, actually. Oh, Jesus. Did you actually peed your pants? You were wearing pants? Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I just didn't even squat down. I just peed standing up and hoped that no one would notice. Okay. All right. Well, there you go. There's a lot of people out there,

isn't there? You put it on me now. Sorry, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm going to stop touching these. Okay. Let's, what we'll do, what we'll do is we'll notch this one up

as a little bit of a stuff up from you, Cal. That's okay. We're going to move on. We're going to be better. Clint, Meg and Dan. We want to talk about finding your calling later in life, whether that be a career move, somebody like JK Rowling who wrote her first book. Actually, she wrote heaps of books but got published in her 40s, I think.

I read a book, a Kiwi author. I think it's called The Girl in the Mirror. The woman is a lawyer up until her 30s or 40s, and then she wrote her first book, and I believe it's now been turned into a Hollywood movie. Wow. I always sit there and think about, maybe there's something out there that I don't know I'm good at

because I haven't tried it yet. And I was having a bit of a brag on the OnlyFans podcast last week that I've gotten much better at gaming with my husband since playing Split Fiction. Great game. I've got the clip here. I know. In fact, guys, I was really proud of myself.

Like, I'm beating him. Good on you. Like, there'll be things where, like, I'll finish a level and then I'll be like, he would have died or something and I'll be waiting for him. Not every time, but enough so that it's, I don't feel like I'm holding him back anymore.

Okay, all right. I'm bragging a little bit. I'm bragging a little bit there. But as you should. Thank you. And I think this probably happens quite a bit with careers and jobs, right. I'm bragging a little bit. I'm bragging a little bit there. But as you should. Thank you. And I think this probably happens quite a bit with careers and jobs, right?

You'll be doing a job and for whatever reason that job maybe ends, you get made redundant. I think that's happening a lot at the moment in the world. And you're forced

to pivot into something else that you never thought you'd maybe do in the end. But you're like, shit, why didn't I do this sooner? And I'm nailing it. I think it'd be really inspiring if we can find some people

because a lot of people just feel like sometimes they're a fish trying to climb a tree. Yeah. And they haven't found their pool yet. And you don't want that. If a fish puts its mind to climbing that tree, it can. It can. I'm sure it can figure it out, but it would be much easier if it was a pool. And some people just haven't found their pool.

And you find it later in life. Yeah, so what have you done? How have you found a calling later in life? And when we say later in life, it could be in your mid-20s. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And it could even just be a sport that you never tried and realised you're really good at high jump. Or, yeah, a hobby.

It doesn't just have to be a career that you started a hobby and you realise you're a really good drawer naturally, like a sketcher or a painter. Mine was pretty early on on but the radio thing like i was a builder before i was a radio yeah it's true you could talk about this and you still get to find yours because you suck at this yeah i know i'm hoping building something radio some people will have no hope you know but we're just living it you know that's just how it happens talking about when did you find your calling later in life? Could have been a hobby.

Could have been a new job. Could have been sports, singing, Benson Boone. Maybe not later in life, but had no idea he could sing. Never took a singing license. Was it one of those kids that you go, I've just been singing since I was four years old. My mum just said I was always a singer. Yeah.

Like none of that. He never sang. I hate those people. Shut up. No, but just never sang. And then one day he just did randomly with his friends because they must have just been singing a song together when his mates were like, you've got some pipes. Could you imagine that moment of realising?

Like, oh, wait, hang on. Let me try that again. What a joyous moment. Joyous moment. Yeah. So cool. So, yeah, we're talking about that. Text through.

Gemma's just texted me. This is an interesting one. I did sales and marketing for 12 years. I got made redundant, which I think that's a precursor to a lot of people's pivot in careers. Yeah. And started a cafe, never done hospo before,

six years on, still there, worked my way up to manager and can do any role there, cook, chef as well. Wow. See, that's a perfect example. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Of people that are pivoting in life.

Yeah. And I think this is really inspirational to people that maybe are losing their jobs. You know, then you go, shit, I've lost my job. I've never known anything else but what I did. My husband is going to be a little bit in this situation. He is a stay-at-home dad, will be a stay-at-home

dad with this second baby as well. And when that child goes to kindy or whatever, he will be getting back into the workforce after like four, five years being out of it. And he's got to kind of restart what he wants to do. It's a hard thing to do.

Yeah. Even mums that have had six to twelve months off after having, giving birth. It's so hard to get back into the workforce and know that it is like,

I've been witness to it with my wife. And choosing, and choosing where you want to go and what you want to do. Your wife's in a new career now. Yeah, yeah,

and she's loving it but it's just really hard to sort of get back into the mindset of working every day. Yeah, for sure. It doesn't come naturally. Let's new career now. Yeah, yeah, and she's loving it. But it's just really hard to sort of get back into the mindset of working every day. Yeah, for sure. It has to come naturally. Let's go to Morgan. Morgan, did you find your calling later in life?

Yeah. So I just didn't hear any calls. So Cal's still got the voice disguiser on. For goodness sake. Oh, my God. That's so embarrassing. So if you were just listening before, he couldn't get it to work. He's made it work, but at the very wrong spot.

Okay, sorry. Try again, Morgan. Are you there? Yeah, I'm still here. I got a PhD in ecology, and I still work in ecology, but I decided to start a wedding planning business because I always was planning events casually, and so now I have my own wedding planning company as well.

Unbelievable. See, that's so cool. So different. So different from each other. So why did you start wedding planning? Did somebody say to you, you'd be a good wedding planner? Were you the mate in the group that would always organize on spreadsheets the weekend away? Well, that, but also I planned my own wedding a few years ago.

And then a mate said he hadn't proposed to his girlfriend yet because she didn't want a wedding, but then they came to ours, and now she wants a big wedding. Right. Yeah, see? And you've just used skills that you probably knew you had, but you've just adapted them into a career. Maybe I could do that.

Love that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Totally. Yeah, awesome, Morgan. Okay, let's go to Justin as well. Justin, have you found your calling later in life? Yes.

Not so much I found your calling later in life? Yes, not so much I found my calling later in life, but the businesses have moved into what my calling was. So I've always been in the corporate world, but they've always been supposed to be serious and in a suit and no culture, no energy, no fun. But I've always been true to myself, and now businesses have realised that the empowerment that it creates on team when you're fun, energetic and got that culture,

I've now moved from being not the desirable person, but the person that's being seeked out by all these businesses because I deliver such that sort of level. Oh, that's what you want to be, eh? You want to be the person that's being poached by other businesses so you can then go, they're trying to poach me. Yeah, and it's great now being where you can empower people and drive people

and drive fun and culture in a business as opposed to making it so they're supposed to be scared of you when you walk in the business. Yeah, I love that. I love that you kind of changed the game on that. Let's go one more.

Let's go, Gemma. Gemma, oh, actually, I think we talked, Dan, read out your text that you know we're doing cafes. Yeah, you did marketing and now you're doing cafes. I bet you make a mean flat white.

Hello. Not great on a phone. Yeah, you did marketing and now you're doing cafes. I bet you make a mean flat white. Hello? Not great on a phone. You there, Gemma? Yeah, I got you. You guys went blank on me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So now working in a cafe? Yes, yes.

So now I'm working in a huge cafe and I just thought, oh, well, what else do I do? Exactly, yeah. And I'm still there. And that's what I think it takes sometimes. It just means you're sort of forced into it because you've got nothing else to do or nowhere else to go. Maybe no training.

And you just work your way up from there. And also, like, people say, like, life is so short, but at the same time, life is so long. So it's like there's so many opportunities for you to change your things up and, you know, try new things and everything. Holy shit! You made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast.
