This is a podcast from Rover. Some podcasts educate. Some inspire. We do neither. Welcome to the most unnecessary thing you'll listen to today. This is the Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Morning everyone. Christchurch. New Plymouth. Hamilton. Dunedin. Napier. Parmy. Invercargill. Nelson. Roto-Vegas. Wingsdown. Pungaday. Gisborne. Wellington. Dunnars. Alright you scarfies, get out of bed. Yeah, no drama's all.

Yeah, we'll just get the old heating going here. Oh no, no, not the couch. Holy hell. Oh well, now that's not it. We've got this. Wait, is that meant to be us? Come on, give us some heat. Yeah, more than that please.

Surely. Do that voice. It's Clint Magentown. Come, good morning, 6 please. Surely. Do that voice. It's Clint Megengard. Good morning, 6am. Welcome. Welcome, welcome, welcome. He survived the night, everybody. He's back.

He's back with a vengeance. Isn't that crazy, Meg, that Clint is so perfect in everything he does and he's so perfect that even Gastro is, like, scared of him. Even Gastro's like, oh, no, I couldn't touch that specimen. Yeah, took down my niece, my sister-in-law, mum, dad, wife, daughter, and son. So the thing is, that makes me worried for your gut a little bit. Like, it's really good, but, like, what in the world has it seen before?

You don't need to worry about Clint's gut, Meg. I mean, I know he's eating a fly. I've seen that. No, okay. Meg's never let me forget this or live this down. I one time had fried rice leftovers. I brought it to work and I heated it up. And when I took the lid off, a blowfly must have landed on the fried rice.

And so I cooked it. And he microwaved it with the fly. The poor fly. But it was like a mountain the fried rice. And so I cooked it. And he microwaved it with the fly. The poor fly. But it was like a mountain of fried rice. All I did is I got like a large spoon

and I just like a digger scooped underneath him. Even though the blowfly was microwaved with the rice. That's a cooked fly, man. It's microwaved. I scooped up.

It's almost, bits are just flayed in there. How did we get to this about Clint eating a fly? Because his guts are just, I don't know what else they've seen. Who did I just swallow to spider to catch the fly? Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one for our new three kids.

Yes, something for the parents who are up early looking up. Itsy winsy spider. No. That's not it at all. No. Why do you eat the horse to catch the dog? And there was Google to Google to cite her. Never heard that one.

What are you talking about? Then why did you join in? Because I thought you were talking about a spider. Oh, my God. There's two famous spiders. You said kids. I thought of a nursery rhyme with a spider. It's your wits.

I'll bring you the book. You can read it to your little guy, George. He'll love it. Yeah, the lady that swallowed a fly. Wow. Perhaps she'll die. Okay. I don't know why she swallowed a fly. Perhaps she'll die. Okay. I don't know why she swallowed a fly.

Let's move on. He's become alpha dog since you've been gone one day. Has he? Alpha dog? Had to. All right. A little puppy let out of his cage running around with his big bark. It is time for Dan's throwback track to get us all excited.

You missed mine yesterday, Clint. Yeah, Meg had a hell of a track yesterday. C'est la vie, Bewitched. Oh, I love... Do you know Bewitched was actually, embarrassingly, one of the albums I bought when we were robbed when we were younger as kids and they took all of our CDs. Crazy, right? Really?

Are those robbers took Bewitched? No, no, no. They left that one. They sold all the CDs and they took all of our CDs. Crazy, right? Really? Are those robbers to be wished? No, no, no. They sold all the CDs and you work out how many CDs at 30 bucks a CD. We got given like two and a half grand

to replace our CD collection. So mum and dad gave us like something like five or ten CDs that we were allowed to buy for us and Be Witched

was one of the ones I bought. God, Cliff, what a waste of money. Oh, don't, Dan. It was good. I mean, it's just one track. It's just one track. That's what I mean. One track on the whole album.. God, Cliff, what a waste of money. Oh, don't, Dan. It was good. It's just one track. It's just one track. That's what I mean.

You're on track on the whole album. Roller Coaster, C-Live, and there was a third one. Oh, okay. What have you got today, Dan? Well, anyway, this is definitely less of a one-hit wonder from a band by the name of Tenacious D.

Last year, Meg, you and I interviewed Jack Black. We did. It was in the midst of it. He was doing a tour and then they cancelled it because Kyle Gass, his other guy in the band, said some controversial things about Donald Trump. Oh, that's right. The band split up.

They've been spotted in the last couple of weeks rehearsing. So I wonder whether they're going to be... Well, I think it's because Trump's gotten worse. Everyone's like, oh, well, fair. Yeah, yeah. Actually, that was actually a fair thing to say. Yeah. So that gave me the idea

to play the greatest and the best song in the world. Tribute. Tribute. By Tenacious D. Do you know Dan showed Jack Black his ass?

I did. Oh. Because BJ said I absolutely hate this song. That's a good start. But was he saying that about the previous song? We'll never know. Okay.

Contribute Dan's pick this morning. That's better than a coffee to wake you up, that song. Yeah, that was good. I must admit. Thank you for that, Dan. No worries. Does Tenacious D have any other tracks? They do, but not as big as that.

Yeah, they've got like, they've released multiple. Isn't that what about making love? Yeah, multiple albums. Mostly their songs are kind of tongue-in-cheek jokey. Right, because that's the only song we have in our entire database. So I was like,

I wonder if they are a one-hit wonder. They did quite a few songs for Kung Fu Panda last year. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

I think that, yeah, that's their biggest song by far. Yeah, 2001, Effort Gently was the other one I knew,

but I can't say that. Oh, yes, yes. Okay. Yeah, I knew there was one about Zex. I don't know if that song's aged very well. No, probably not. Yeah.

A little time for a little coffee catch-up. I haven't caught up with you guys since you moved house then. Yeah, goodness me, Clint. I said this yesterday. They say it's the most stressful thing you can ever do. Oh, yes. Don't do it. Yeah, I said it to Meg yesterday and I beg you, Clint, don't do it. Just for your marriage, for everything. It's just a stressful time. Yeah, I've been to Meg yesterday and I beg you, Clint, don't do it. Just for your marriage, for everything.

It's just a stressful time. Yeah, I've been encouraging you to move house, actually. So good luck with that. But Dan did say they nearly broke up three times, him and his wife. Here's the update. So because when you know a house very well, so we'd lived in our previous house for like four years, you get to know it in the pitch black.

You know, like you can walk and you know exactly where the light switches are moving into a new house. It's a real cluster. Because this morning I got up and we know it in the pitch black. You know, like you can walk and you know exactly where the light switches are moving into a new house. It's a real cluster. Because this morning I got up and we get up in the pitch black dark and this house, for whatever reason, it's very dark. So like all the window curtains were closed and stuff.

And I just was like, honestly, I may as well have been blind. I was banging into doors. I tripped over Kimmy, our cat, poor little man. I would honestly be so annoyed being your wife because just turn and get your phone, like turn on the light, and you're just bumping around the house

like a blind person. I'd be like, just stop it. I wish you were there. Hannah did that exact thing. She got up and she's like, just turn on the light, for God, for the love of God. He said, God, you're bumping into anything.

The cat's been squinting. It was like this. I got up God, you're both being into anything. The cat's been... It was like this. I got up and it was just me banging into walls. Oh, for God's sake. And me like flailing

to the light switches. He's had three or four arguments with his wife when we broke up and I bet if we found out what they were about we'd have his wife's side every time.

Oh, God, yes. Anyway, so... No one's team dad. Absolute nightmare. Yeah.

So one day. Nice to be in though. Everything's moved. Everything's in its place. Everything's moved, yes. Anyway. No one's team Dan. Absolute nightmare. Yeah. So one day. Nice to be in, though. Everything's moved. Everything's in its place. Everything's moved, yeah. Everything's inside the house. I'll say this, though. It's not in its right place.

Yeah, right. It's going to take years. I've learned people that moved in, they still have one box somewhere. They've got to unpack that. Yeah. I think the last house we were in, there was still some boxes we'd never unpacked.

Yeah, I think if you don't need them after like six months, you probably don't need the box. That's what I say, Clint, but Hannah's hell bent on keeping it. Yeah, my wife's a bit of a hoarder like that too, actually. Yeah, and bless her, she likes to keep stuff because you just never know. You never know. We might need a second gravy boat because what if we break the first gravy boat? You always need two gravy boats.

I've got two gravy boats. How often are we pulling out a gravy boat? What if you need a hollandaise and a gravy boat at the same time? What do you do then? What if there's a flood? You need a boat. Get on the gravy boats. I've got two gravy boats. How often are we pulling out a gravy boat? What if you need a hollandaise and a gravy boat at the same time? What do you do then? What if there's a flood? You need a boat. Get on the gravy boat. It's 13 past six.

Sorry. All right, we'll move on. You know when you've been in the chat too long. I prefer a gravy train, but anyway. Yeah, yeah. We're going to get the update

on the tarot card reading. I missed that as well while I was away. Your wife did a tarot card reading. Sorry, but everybody else heard it, Clint, so we're just updating you today. Yeah.

Sorry. Catch up. Did anyone else miss the tarot card reading? Just bear with us. We've got to bring Clint up to speed. Yeah. Yeah, I heard she was going

to do a reading about Meg's baby too, boy or girl. Yeah, she refused to do that because Hannah, my wife, she's a tarot reader. She might get it right and she knows I want a surprise. And she was like, I can't do that because the cards will tell the truth

and Meg will find out. Really? Seriously? Hannah's got very high morals. Very high morals. I'd almost go the opposite of what she said it was going to be. I don't know. Her tarot cards tell no lies. Although it did say that you were going to get the shits yesterday.

And did you get the shits? Nah. Oh dear. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my gosh. You may have missed this because I did Dan's wife did a tarot card reading for the show. And what do we expect this year? He was really into this, wasn't he, Clint?

For some reason he kept banging on about it. Well, I was mostly surprised that your wife was into it. I always knew she was a horse girl and I always know horse girls to be a little crazy. And then your wife didn't fit the mould until now. Hannah is, how do I describe Hannah? She's a very passionate person, so she loves doing, she's got a lot of hobbies. Her big passion is horse riding, and she's very good at it.

Yeah, what are the other hobbies? Oh, she does crochet. Crocheting. Yeah, that's good. She does tarot card readings. I don't see how I'm the most, like how Dan makes fun of me, when your darling wonderful best friend and wife is

a crocheter and tarot card reader. When I say she crochets, she mainly crochets little animals. Yes. Yeah. And if I did that, you would rip me to shreds. By the way, you're getting one of those for your next baby. She's in the process of making it. Okay, I did

want to know, and it looks like I'm about to find out, where did Hannah get the cards from? This is very, very interesting. I didn't even know this until last night, Clint. I asked her. Who gifted them to you? A witch? No, it was 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? 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.

You should have been able to really see that coming. She should have, but she didn't have her tarot cards, so she couldn't. No, he, he. Oh, he should have. Yeah, yeah. Because they say the proper tarot cards, you should be gifted them. You should never buy them yourself because they don't work. Yeah.

I also asked her, because Clint was away yesterday. I asked Hannah because his family had gastro and I asked her if Clint was going to contract it. 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.

He enjoyed that though. Why are you laughing? Because I feel sorry for Clint. I love how she's like, because I feel sorry for Clint, because clearly he's definitely going to get gastro. I'm not going to laugh at that. That's actually really scary and sad. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Either that or I should stay away from large bodies of water without a life jacket on. Yeah, maybe one of those two things, Clint. Okay. And then I did ask a little question about the show as well. What about the future of the show? Here she goes. Oh, she's done 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. 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, so she'll be happy to hear that. I wouldn't put that past Hannah, though, just to make that up, just so we know that we're getting a pay rise because she benefits from that as well.

Yeah, she's like, yes, Leon and other big bosses that are listening, the tarot cards have said. They have spoken. It's always like everyone else is drowning and we're standing on the tree, they're sticking up with money. We're on the money tree. We're on the money tree.

We're on the money tree, baby. So yeah, if anybody wants a reading from Hannah, maybe you could text through, or DM me and just ask a question and I'll try and get back to you. I'll get Hannah to do a reading for you. There was already a couple of messages yesterday, wasn't there Meg?

People going like, I'd pay Hannah to do it. Does she do them for free? She does them for free. Yeah, willy-nilly. She's handing out tarot readings. She's not going to be on the money tree if she keeps doing that. Yeah, she starts charging. All right, so we're talking about how everybody is doing country,

move to country at the moment. I have no confirmation on this information I am about to give you. This is all speculation from me. Oh, then let's move on. We don't want to speculate on this show, Meg. No, it's decent speculation, though. I think it's a good guess. I think it's an educated guess.

Okay. We have somebody who has the pipes to do any genre, I believe, that they want to do. They have done country in the past, but they have very good reason to because they've got very strong ties. Would you like to take a guess, Dan? Strong ties to the country world?

Very strong ties to the country world. Extremely strong ties, but they went to do pop and then they've dabbled in a bit of country, but not really, not an album.

So it's not Post Malone because he did a whole... A female. Female, very, very good singer, huge ties to country, but never really went down that path.

Gwen Stefani. Why? What? Would be incorrect. What do you mean? Because Gwen Stefani's got a husband, Blake Sheldon. Miley Cyrus. Oh!

Yeah, her dad and her godmother. Yeah, she's done quite a bit of country. I wouldn't say she's dabbled. No, but she hasn't done a country album. No, she hasn't. Thank you. I was going back through her dabbled. No, but she hasn't done a country album. No, she hasn't. Thank you. I was going back through her history of music,

the climb, obviously, and then she went to her, like, naughty era. Love this era. And then, like, oh, God, epic. Can't Be Tamed. And then, obviously, we've had them all recently, Slide Away and Flowers. But we have heard her dabble in rock music before just doing covers.

This was one of my favourite ones. We got in big trouble for playing on the edge. Nothing else matters, Metallica. I love her voice. Now, it could be very wrong, but this is what she's done. She's done that thing that musicians do where they've cleared their Instagram and they've uploaded new photos. Do you think this looks like it could be rock inspired?

Ooh, it does. Yeah, so Meg's holding up a photo. It's like a silhouette of, I'm guessing, Miley Cyrus. Almost looks like Edward Scissorhands-y. Very rock-esque kind of. You can't see her face, but you can see the outline of her hair. It's all just black and white.

Yeah, and it's called Something Beautiful. That is what the song is called. And then I actually went on her Instagram, and you know what? Something that Taylor Swift does very well. For a while, she kind of starts dressing like the next album she's going to release, like Reputation, she'll wear black.

And Miley Cyrus, if you look at what she's done recently, she's been bleaching eyebrows, wearing a lot of black dresses and maybe, like, moving slightly into that kind of edgier scene. Heart of Glass is another song she's covered, which isn't really rock, but more on that Janis Joplin sort of vibe. Yeah, she did Jolene, a cover of Jolene a few years ago as well. So that's quite exciting. I love Miley Cyrus. In fact, she's one ofene, a cover of Jolene a few years ago as well. So that's not exciting, if I'm right.

I love Miley Cyrus. In fact, she's one of the best singers of our generation. I throw that round a lot. I think she's got a real distinctive voice. You know exactly who it is when she's singing. Over the moon, if she released some sort of like Janis Joplin, Heart, you know Heart Who Sings Alone, that sort of era, like rock, 80s rock female powerhouse.

She's awesome. It's very exciting. I don't know when it's coming, but it's coming. Hey, the Edge Afternoons are giving you the opportunity to choose every day.

We went in an anechoic chamber on Friday after the show and we'll give you a little sneak peek as to what that is like. Supposedly, fainting can occur, nauseous. You get nauseous being in there. I think you'd faint if you went in there with Clint, and you'll know why.

Yeah, Dan wasn't in the chamber with me for very long. It was a small chamber with Clint. Windowless chamber. I wonder what happened. Okay, not to make it about myself, but this is going to be the most amazing audio that you hear of me ever. Yeah, okay. Well, on Friday after the show, we went to an anechoic chamber

because there was a guy online who spent 86 minutes in one and came out feeling like loopy. It's like a chamber where there is no sound. It's actually minus 2.8 decibels. So you go in there and it is completely silent. You are just left alone with your own internal thoughts and some people go crazy doing that. And it's also pitch black

once you close the door. Yeah, they say it's the most silent place on earth. It's like it's isolated from the rest of the world so it's its own building, completely soundproof all the way around and it just sucks the sound out of the atmosphere. Yeah, I thought it would have been like the worm but apparently the worm is noisy.

Yeah, we'll talk more about this at 8 worm, but apparently the worm is noisy. Yeah. We'll talk more about this at 8 o'clock because we've got a bit of audio to play you, but I will just ask the question. If you are in one of these places, like airtight, soundproof room with one of your mates and you're recording audio and it's going to pick up even the faintest sound.

And you're known for doing one thing. Yeah, I mean, what do you do in this? And you're recording audio and it's going to pick up even the faintest sound. And you're known for doing one thing. I mean, what do you do in this? Oh, I'd just sit there and enjoy it with your friend. No. Just have a nice time. No. It was just Dan. It was meant to be just me.

But Dan said, can I just be in there with Clint for a bit just to kind of see what it's like? I've never. Yes, right. Oh, hold on. Not that one. This one. Oh, wow. Ah. Oh, hold on, not that one, this one. Oh, wow. And we're in a airtight room.

You arsehole. Glenn, don't. No, you're wrong. I farted twice. You're an arsehole. They said the rules, no farting. Oh, did they? Didn't hear that.

Yeah, I've never even wanted to be in a room so much. You cackled like the Wicked Witch of the West. Never wanted to be in there. Because when me and Dan were in there alone, I tried to fart my hardest. That's how much I wanted it to happen. I tried. I couldn't have.

I genuinely, if you'd done it as well. I was really pushing. My goodness. Okay, so eventually then, Dan gets out and leaves me in there for almost three quarters of an hour. We'll obviously go through that experiment

coming up at eight, but whilst I was doing that, I was wondering what the hell you two were doing the whole time. Yeah, there's another chamber right next to the one you were in, Clint, that's the opposite of that chamber. It's at Auckland University. I think

students use them for different sound things. This one was an echo chamber. So it's got so many different mirrors of sound that when you talk it echoes all the way through. And to my friends and family that are listening right now,

I want you to do everything that you can to really focus on this moment because this is going to blow your mind. This is Meg. As we know, Meg is tone deaf. Tone deaf completely. Terrible singer. Not only just on the show, but probably out of everyone you know. She's been banned from singing for, it was a year or two years

on the show. But I love to sing. Yeah. I'm just very bad at it and this changed everything. Yeah, kind of like when you sing in the shower and people say the acoustics are better. This was like a chamber that is dedicated to those acoustics making everything i think sound better because it must do because we got to muck around in there for a little bit before we started our proper experiment listen to meg sing okay i've genuinely never been impressed by me singing before and that actually... Okay, so I'll go first. Oh my god! You should record all your songs in here from now on.

Oh wow. That was incredible. Did you get my clip of singing Ave Maria? Oh come on, you didn't get my clip of singing Ave Maria? Why can't I record everything? Guys, this is the biggest moment of my life. Did you record my clip of singing Ave Maria? Oh, come on. You didn't get my clip of singing Ave Maria? Why can't I record everything? Guys, this is the biggest moment of my life. Did you record it?

No. Where? Oh, I might have. The problem was, Clint, she got it into her head then, and she started singing Ave Maria, and it was a bit pitchy. But that original one where you went, ah, was unbelievable. Yeah, sorry, I didn't stick around and record all your songs, Meg. It's really hurtful that that was a really big moment for me.

I recorded a minute 20 of Dan singing. A minute 20. Is this how we have this video? Anyway. Why do you not want me to play it? Oh, that's just... You can keep going, Clint. I've actually uploaded that.

If you want to hear the full version, just text WICKED to 3343, and it's a version of me singing Defying Gravity in an echo chamber. Producer Carl, did you set up a bounce bag? Yeah, no, it's actually text ANNOYING to 3343. Oh, no one's going to know how to spell that, Carl. No, I'm joking. It's echo.

Text echo. Echo. How do you spell that? E-C-, Carl. I'm joking. It's Echo. It takes Echo. Echo. How do you spell that? E-C-H-O? Yeah, there's K in there, I think. Still going. And this is the video that I filmed, and then afterwards,

Dan quietly pulled me aside and said, hey, if you upload that, can you collab with me? That's very proud of him. That is the most extra loser thing I've ever seen. I know, because it was real. Yeah, he wasn't like, it's better than a story. Don't put it up as a story. What a loser.

Thanks, Auckland University, letting us use their audio testing facilities because that's actually what they use them for. They just let us muck around in it. They're still going. Yeah, it's just a little bit annoying. No one's text echo yet. Hey, the actual point of it going in to actually get given the silent treatment for 45 minutes.

That's the longest I've ever been given the silent treatment. Has anyone ever in real life given anyone the silent treatment longer than 45 minutes? Echo's not spout E-C-K-H-O. So just, it's E-C-H-O, just so you know. We'll have the full results of how spending three quarters of an hour So just, it's E-C-H-O, just so you know. Clint, Meg and Dan. Let's go! We'll have the full results of how spending three quarters of an hour in an anechoic chamber and what it does to you mentally. We gave that a go.

Pretty much you give yourself the silent treatment. You have no visual sensors and no audible sensors either. It's essentially a room and it's a vacuum of sound. The quietest place on earth. Yeah. You can hear yourself blink. We're moving on from that now. We thought it might be nice to find out how long you have been given or given someone the silent treatment.

Some people are very stubborn with it. Incredible. In fact, you may remember this from a few years ago. Dan wasn't on the show yet, but we dared Clint to see how long he could not talk for. I guess he was stubborn about it. Yeah, yeah, he was

so stubborn that he didn't speak the entire show. That was an odd one. It went from 10 or 11 in the morning, be like, can you shut up? And then I'd be, you can't shut up for like I don't know, an hour or a day. And I was like, can you shut up? And then I'd be, you can't shut up for like, I don't know, an hour or a day

and I was like, careful what you wish for. So I was quiet from like 11am through to the following morning at 6am when the next show started and they had to beg me to start speaking again. Yeah, and I don't think,

I still don't think you've spoken to all of them about eight. We had to apologise, we had to like seriously apologise until he accepted it and felt like it was genuine. How did that feel for you, Meg,

having to beg Clint to talk? Jesus. Yeah, and he would have loved it. They would have loved it. They just had to admit that they were wrong. That I could be quiet if I wanted to,

but I choose not to. Silent treatment is a funny one, though. Like, it's such a stubborn thing to do to someone is to silent treatment them. And also the why. Like, what is the very,

it's normally insignificant thing that causes silent treatment. Taylor from Kirik why. Like, what is the very, it's normally insignificant thing that causes silent treatment. Taylor from Kitty Kitty. Oh, first time caller. Taylor. For the first time in forever. Hello, stranger. For the first time.

Morning, Taylor. Welcome. Welcome to the show. Morning. How are we today? Good. This is the topic that get you out of the woodwork and get you to call us. The irony is you've been giving us the silent treatment for years.

I was like, I've got one. Yeah, true. All right, Taylor, did you give the silent treatment to someone or did you have it thrust upon you? My mum gave it to me. When I was 16, I decided to go get my belly button pierced against her wishes. She didn't talk to me for two days.

And then, do you remember the first thing she said to you once she got to a point of like, I have to speak to you now? Was it just something mundane? No, it would have just been something mundane. I can't remember. She would have just thought over herself. Yeah. Oh, Taylor!

She's going to get back into it. Okay, thanks. I had going to get back into it. Okay, thanks. I had to hide it for her too, but she caught me. It was the same day. Oh, the same day. God, Taylor's not very good at hiding it. What were you wearing? A crop top?

The problem was she brought me a cute set of brown underwear. She wanted me to try it on. Oh, that's a good trick. That's a good trick. She got over it, though. Yeah, she got it on. Oh, that's a good trick. That's a good trick. She got over it though. Yeah, yeah, she got over it. Hey Bex,

morning. Hello, how are you? Good Bex. Good Bex. Who gave the silent treatment for how long? So my dad, when I was about seven or eight,

took me to a school fair and I had five dollars to spend so I bought a guinea pig with no home for it to go to and he didn't talk to me for at least a week and a half.

Well the thing is that's dad's fault without doing the rules and I think that's probably half of it. He was mad at himself. Like, what is the,

what are you meant to do? You buy a guinea pig you've been given five bucks that's cheap for a guinea pig. Did you get to keep it out of interest specs? I did get to keep it out of interest, Bex? I did get to keep it. We got it out.

Now I bring animals all the time home to my husband and he just has to deal with it. Oh, I love that. I love that you created the life that you love. It is the longest silent treatment being given to anyone, so we're going to send you a double pass to our Edge Must See movie, Black Bag, starring Cate Blanchett,

Michael Fassbender and Reje Jean Page it's in cinemas now you enjoy that one Bex? We had friends that had guinea pigs all the time and they'd always die they'd have a new

guinea pig like that's on there my guinea pigs for years really? yes I thought they'd die at the drop of a hat no

my ex didn't talk to me for a week because I didn't take him lunch when I was busy working that's probably why that was the ex I guess

sounds like it beginning of the end perhaps the Clint, Meg and Dan podcast sounds like it. Beginning of the end, perhaps. Yes. The Clint, Meg and Dan Podcast. Win a share of $50,000. Cash. With the edge cash-strapped.

Strapped. Strapped. Strapped. All right. Guaranteed cash winners at 7 and 8 every morning. Just give us a call at 0800-EDGE. And if you can't get through, occasionally we'll pick someone who's texting by texting cash to 3343

and what they need money for. Meg, it's a fact. Everybody goes away with cash. It is a fact. We just don't know how much you go away with. Ashley is the lucky person playing this morning. Hello, Ashley. Yes, Ash.

Congrats. Morning, guys. Ashley, you sound like my kind of girl. We sound very similar. You've got a leak in your car and you're getting mould in the seats. Okay. Ooh, tricky. Ash, is it as bad as when Meg had such a leak in her seats

that plants were growing out of the upholstery in the back seat? You're nuts. I'm literally not kidding. The whole back footwell was flooded and there was mould everywhere when I opened the door this weekend. Like, it was all through the seats, up the steering wheel, everywhere. What sort of car are we running? A Ford Focus.

Ford Focus. So you need, I'm guessing, you're just going to do cleaning products and bleach and stuff? Is that what you're planning to do? Yeah, well, I've already spent $150 on bleach and all of that stuff and now I'm going to go take it in. Just pouring bleach into the puddles at the footwell? That should, I don't know, clear it up. Maybe I was just flooded with bleach.

Ashley, the money that you can take home right now for free for a, what have we done, a 45-second phone call, minute phone call? Yeah. $380. Oh, Nick. That's a good amount. I got a bit more generous while I've been away.

Thank you. That's a nice hourly wage. That is really good. That is very generous. Thank Oh, Nick. That's a good amount. Got a bit more generous while I've been away. Thank you. That's a nice hourly wage. That is really good. That is very generous. Thank you, Nick. Darling, you're so welcome. I reckon you could buy a bit of bleach and some other things and have a good night out with that.

And I could buy some of those jelly bean sweeteners, things that go in your car. Oh, yes. Or actually, I think we might even have a spare Dan air freshener since his was very... Oh, those are free. Those are free. Yeah, we got ones with our faces made, Ashley, but Meg's and mine are all well gone.

There's plenty of Dan's left. No, no, no, there's plenty of Clint's as well. In fact, if you want to pay us, we'll pay you to take a Clint one. Yeah, absolutely. All right, Ashley, would you like to take my money, $380, hang up the phone, walk away now, get that money, or would you want to risk it and go with the money that's strapped to Dan's vest? Which could be more. How are we feeling, Dan?

Well, as I said famously, I don't know what is in the vest. I really don't. So it could go either way. I think Meg's offer was generous, but if you want to, you know, supersize that offer, I'd take the risk, Ashley, and just go with the money that's trapped me. To be fair, Ash, it's been a while since Meg's offered a good amount and then Dan's gone and absolutely trumped her

and offered three times what she's offered. Yeah, that is true, though, actually. Normally, like, 380 is a good amount and I feel like you can take it and run, it's yours. But then Dan's due like a trumping. He is due a big one, actually. We must say, I think he had some small ones yesterday. It depends if you want

to risk it, Ashley. If you're that strapped for cash, I'd go with Meg's offer, but if you want to have a bit of a play, come over to my spot, mate.

All right, Ashley, we're going to make you make a decision now. I think this is a pretty dire situation and I think I'm going to take Meg's money. Yeah.

Good on you. Good on you, Ashley. Very good, very good. You need the money. Yeah. Good on you. Good on you, Ashley. Very good. Very good. You need the money. You wouldn't shy away from $380 if you found it on the street. Well done. I imagine that.

Thank you, Meg. $380? No, not worth it. Not worth me bending down and picking it up. Dan. Let's just say, though, for a bit of fun, what would have happened if you dabbled in a bit of Danimal? Okay, here we go.

Going into the strap. It's going to be a thousand bucks, Ash. Pulling it out. Ashley, you've made a brilliant decision. I only had $200. Oh, get in. Come on. Well played, Ash.

Well done. Yes, thank you, guys. It's awesome. You're welcome. Go and victory car, Ash. And another chance to play coming at eight. Yeah. Nice work not being greedy.

All right, coming up next, is Meg hotter than a 6.2 out of 10? I can't believe we've been teasing that. That is outrageous. That's what we're talking about this morning. Actually, on International Women's Day. I think on Kate. And Mother's Day.

No, it's not. It's my birthday. No, it's not. What are the chances that they all fell on the same day? Actually, what could be fun is place your bets now. Text 3343. What do you think Meg's face is out of 10? $1,000 on the ugliest.

We'll reward you. We'll reward anyone who's bang on with science. I am humbled. We can say I am humbled. Not that, you know what's the saddest thing? I didn't have an ego to start. So it's like it's gone from low to lower. Yeah, neither of us have an ego, Meg, you or I.

No, so thank you for asking everybody to rate my face out of 10. That was nice. And also thank you for saying $1,000 to the lowest. But let's just remember, we've all had the rating. We've all been rated. Clint was a 6.2, I was a 6. I get that, but we didn't ask thousands of people in New Zealand to rate us, honestly. I know, that was a missed opportunity, really.

Everybody's saying you're an 8.9. They are not. I've got a 4.1, a 4.3, 5.4, 5.2. Someone gave you a 10 out of 10. That was her mum, though. Yeah, that is mum. Oh, no, because it says something about her cleavage. Oh, that was just my tits.

He said that my face was actually a 6. 4.6 out of 10, 4.8. So thank you for that, everybody. That is very nice. What a humbling experience this has been. Yeah. Well, thelooksman.ig is rating faces. Celebrities, it gives very harsh scores, I feel.

Like, Timothee Chalamet got a six. Ryan Gosling got a five and a half. This is what he said about my face if you missed it. Last but not ugliest is Clinton Randell. He has perfectly balanced facial thirds with an ideal face height to width ratio. He has a strong jawline with a tall ramus. Yep. So some nice things there.

Okay, well, that gives us a bit of a hint, Dan. He said last but not ugliest. There's a little bit of a hint. So he must have done you last out of the three of us. Okay. But you have not been the ugliest. So just do it. I know I've got a crooked face.

I know that my thirds are all out. So just rip the band-aid off. Okay. Let me just hear the rest. This is Dan's. Dan Webby has paper-thin lips. His nose is also too wide from the front, giving him a bad lip width to nose ratio

and a bad nose to eye ratio. He has almost perfectly balanced facial thirds and an ideal face height to width ratio. Okay, so there was a bit of a mixed bag. You're like a party mix. Yeah, I don't know. If that was a compliment sandwich, there was definitely more filling than anything else with mine. His eyes are blue and have a neutral camphor tilt and his interocular distance is above the ideal ratio. His hairline is still perfect for now. His eyebrows could do with more thickness, and he has elf-like pointy ears.

Shut up. He has an overall rating of 6 out of 10. Okay. Can we please just do mine, Clint? Elf-like pointy ears? I don't. Okay. Do you want to know what your face is out of 10, mate?

Please. Just do it. I know it's out of balance, so just do it. Okay. You shut up. You're not doing it next. You're a wanker. Oh, you're an absolute wanker.

We listened to all that for nothing. God, that's a tease, actually, Clint. That was really me. We're about to find out how attractive Meg is out of 10, according to science. Okay? We're going to do it now. Dan was a 6. Dan was a 6.

I was a 6.2. According to thelooksman.ig on Instagram, this is what is wrong with Meg's face. Megan on there has unbalanced facial folds as she unfortunately has a wide forehead. Not a great start. The joy this brings these boys. She unfortunately has a great start. The joy this brings these boys. Shoot, unfortunately.

That is a wide forehead. Let's see it. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah, it's a bit wide, I guess. Oh, stop trying to... No, he says it. Okay.

Okay. A wide forehead, unbalanced. Sorry, you'll start again. Megan on there has unbalanced facial thirds as she unfortunately has a wide forehead. Her face height to width ratio is not ideal either. She has blue coloured eyes with a positive canful tilt. Okay.

Okay, so he's giving you a little bit of a nice... Blue is just a statement. Yeah, but he has positive canful tilt. I don't know. Tilt is good. That's good. It's positive, so I'll take it. Yeah.

Okay, ready for part two? Yeah. Megan has slight excessive upper eyelid exposure and her interocular distance is ideal. She also has a perfect straight upturned nose. She has very plump lips, however her lip width to nose ratio still isn't ideal. No filler though, thank you, those are natural.

Okay. Like that. Is that it? Yeah, we're about to get the writing. Look how disappointed they are. I have some good things about my face. No, I think I think... You've honestly both gone quiet.

You look like slapped arses, both of you. The more I look at her, the wider her forehead looks, actually. Now I can't unsee it. Yeah, you know? That's when someone points it out. Okay, so Dan was a 6. I was a 6.2. Come on, come on, come on.

Here she goes, come on. Come on, come on. Is Meg out of 10? According to2. Come on, come on, come on. Here she goes. Come on. Come on, come on. How hot is Meg at a 10? According to science. Over 5, over 5. She has an overall rating of 6.5 out of 10. Told you. Told you.

I knew it. There we go. So I'm the ugliest on the show. Brilliant. Oh, it's not about you, Dan. I'm hotter than Clint. Yeah. Ugly boy lives on. Hay, it's not about you, Dan. I'm older than Clint. Yeah. Ugly Boy lives on.

Hayden Allen's just text that through. Would it be nice just to give the old Danimal a bit of a win there? I can't believe I'm 0.3 behind such a wide forehead.

I'm the saddest loser. She's got enough forehead for all of us. Okay, Miss Ugly Boy, don't do it. Maybe it might improve my looks if you gave me just a bit of your forehead, Meg. Share it around, would you? We're all sixes.

We're all sixes. Hey, happy days. Happy days. Yeah, and even though your lips are quite thick, give me some as well. Because you said one of the reasons I lost is because I had a thin lip. Paper thin. Paper thin. Paper thin.

Yeah, paper thin. My nose is too big and Meg's forehead's too wide. Oh, well. There you go. I mean, that's what I'm known for, isn't it? My ugliness. So I may as well keep sticking with it. God, oh, listen to him.

How excited you were at the mere thought of me being uglier than you. And now you're being sad sack little boy over there. Sorry, didn't hear what you're saying with the forehead. Sorry. Oh, it's pathetic. It's pathetic. Clint, Meg's pathetic. It's pathetic. Clint, Megan, Dan. Stinky boot.

How you like them apples as we go on the hunt for New Zealand's greatest apple? Clint, we've got to get into it fast. These get longer and longer every week. We just taste apples and give you the rating. That's all you need to know.

Avoid flowery apples. I hear she's a pretty quick run-up this week. Are you ready? Hit the jams. Okay, here we go. In a world full of Chinese proverbs, a bird in the bush is worth two in the hand or something like that. And this one, you can lead a horse to water, but you might, you can't make the horse drink or something anyway. But my favorite Chinese

proverb is, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Unless that tree is on the side of a cliff, in which case the apple would fall quite far. The old proverb didn't think of that, did it? Silly. Anyway, four weeks ago, a crack team of Apple Avengers assembled to find the best apple known to man. If he was an Avenger, he'd likely be Iron Man. If Iron Man was an annoying fake tan little twat, his name. Clutch. Then there's the only female of the team. If she was an Avenger, she'd be

Black Widow. Except she'd be Brown Widow. Cause she's always shitting the bed. Am I right? Her name. And finally, I wouldn't even class this cockwomble as an Avenger. Maybe a shit X-Man at best. He's not even from the DC Universe.

Heh, loser. His name... Dan Wiebe. Yes, it's time for the Avengers to assemble. Because this is How You Like damn apples. Right. That's my impression of an apple falling far from the tree. Throwback gag.

Hit it. Well, that was a waste of time. We didn't even say what the apple was, which is ambrosia, by the way. It's an ambrosia apple, and it's been suggested to us quite a bit on the text machine since we've been doing this game. Doesn't look good, I must say. I don't like the look of it. Okay, what we've got in our studio is a decibel reader. We're biting in in three, two, one.

Not good. It's a 71 decibels, which is lower than last week. Flowery. Flowery. Yep. I'm sad to say that ambrosia is probably one of the worst apples I've ever tasted. Flowery. Yep. I'm sad to say that ambrosia is probably one of the worst apples I've ever tasted.

It's too big. You know when they get big and I think they overgrow them. Over flowery. Yeah, it's too. I'd have tasted them if it was a good one but it's not a good one.

You know normally a good apple is when you put your bottom teeth in and then you can just leverage it and it will just snap. I actually had to take two bites of that

to get a mouthful because it didn't snap. If you were going to the supermarket today to get some apples avoid the ambrosia. I'd give that a 4 out of 10. I'm going to take two bites of that to get a mouthful because it didn't snap. If you were going to the supermarket today to get some apples avoid the ambrosia. I'd give that a 4 out of 10. I'm going to go a little higher. 5.5. Mine's not that bad.

Mine's like a 6. Okay. Took your time. I might have got the better of the three. Sometimes you know what they count. Sometimes consistency is too much. So there you go. Ambrosia, not good. Thank you for that. Are we is too much. So there you go. Ambrosia, not good. Thank you for that.

Are we done? Yeah. Okay. Clint, Meg and Dan. Bill with Meg. Jason Isaac from White Lotus, and just an actor that you probably know his face of maybe more than the name, did a full frontal bit in The White Lotus,

which is probably going to make people ask questions, even though they shouldn't, just because, especially with men, it is much less common than getting full frontals of women in movies and shows. It just is. We're kind of almost a bit immune to seeing a bit of boob and stuff, which since Game of Thrones and whatnot

has been popular for the past few years. I wonder if there is a bit more confronting because there's a bit more hanging. Yeah, and you can actually a lot of the time have a prosthetic and a lot of the time with women you don't. You know, it's like it's either. And a merkin, don't they? You could do a merkin, but it's still probably you can't do a prosthetic. When you mentioned Game of Thrones, I have a mate who worked on Game of Thrones

who was given the prosthetic briefcase where they open up the briefcase and you choose. Well, they don't go small, medium, large because no one's using small. I think they go medium,

large, extra large and extra, extra large or whatever and you can just choose what size you want to roll. I'd go the extra, extra. I think most people change.

I don't think it would suit you. People would know if they go, that's prosthetic. Just to see what it's like. Yeah. Proportionately to your height. Have a listen to this full interview clip.

I think it's very interesting. I think it's absolutely fair enough, but I do think him saying that what you hear is he says this woman wouldn't get asked this question, which is a load of, I don't know if he's ever seen an interview of a woman that has done a nude scene before. Go on. You had a bathrobe on.

Let me ask you this. If you had a woman on here, would you be very keen on talking about her downstairs equipment? Would you ever talk to an actress about it? I don't think you would. I don't think it's a terrible double standard. You do? No, I would.

I go there with everybody. Oh, yeah. So when Mikey Madison comes on, you're going to talk to her about whether she was, that those are her real parts, right? Or Margot Qualley comes on. I don't think he will. And I've watched all the interviews and no one's ever asked them about their body parts.

Interesting. So let me ask you this whole prosthetic scene because obviously it's out there. I'm not talking about my penis on television. I don't think you'll be asking any actresses about their body parts. I swear to God, if it happens, I would. So we can move on. I love how he's like, yeah, but you shouldn't. She's like,, I would. So we can move on. I love how he's like, yeah, but you shouldn't. She's like, but I would.

Yeah, and I think completely, completely, genuinely, absolutely don't want to talk about it. Completely fair enough. Him saying that no woman has been asked about their nude scenes before is truly just untrue. I just Googled Emilia Clarke nude scenes and I have found first two pages, first three pages of Google, all of them are interviews about her talking about her nude scenes and I have found first two pages, first three pages of Google,

all of them are interviews about her talking about her nude scenes in Game of Thrones because she's been asked so much. It's just like, I completely agree,

maybe we shouldn't be talking about these things and asking in interviews but that's not a double standard. Absolutely not. It just maybe should be no across the board.

I think he just doesn't want to talk about it because he doesn't want to admit that he went for the big one. Daniel. He's like, fine, I went with the double X. Is that what you want to hear?

I want a bit of a change. But yeah, I completely agree with him, but I agree that it should be for everybody and it definitely is not the case for where women are not asked about their boobs and stuff. I mean, I know just Scarlett Johansson can't even wear one of her tight Marvel suits without being asked about her body and everything fitting into it. So it's been around for years and years,

women getting asked inappropriate questions at interviews. It is not a double standard. Come on. I mean, but fair enough that you shouldn't have to talk about it, but don't say that it's never happened to women. Yeah, strange from the interviewer, after he's clearly made it clear he doesn't want to talk about it, he thinks it's double standard, she goes,

okay, anyway, the prosthetic is like, I'm not joking. I must say also a little bit about, like, that interview and that interviewer makes me a little cringe to be in media because I think that's exactly the kind of person I don't want to be seen as. You know, where people think people

and his views are in the media all the same. I'd hate to be thought of a person that somebody made it clear they don't want to talk about something. And I continue to get it no matter what. Okay, that's fair. Not everyone wants to talk about that sort of stuff. And you move on. It can be a little awkward from there. Or you throw that question right at the end so it doesn't ruin the rest of your chat, you know.

Imagine being the prosthetics person, though, having to get all those prosthetic penises across. Like, it'd go through security checks in the airport and they open it up and you have to explain why you've got them. Right, now there is a good explanation for this one. Yeah, I'm working on my... And by the way, which one would you choose? I have a big one. XXL, please.

Clint, Meg and Dan. We want to know what is the temporary fix, your dodgy temporary fix that you've come up with for something that I guess probably needs like a proper solution. I love this segment because it just shows that everybody's struggling with something. Yeah. Does that not depress you?

No, because I think we all are. I think everybody's equal. Everybody's kind of going through something. Everybody's making do. Here's the bit we love is that you go, I'm going to get around to sorting that. I've got to get around to sorting that. And then you go actually, this temporary solution's working for now. And before you know it, it's been three years.

And still one of my favourites, the lady who can't turn her lawnmower off because the switch doesn't work to turn it off. So she just lets it keep running until the fuel runs out every time. And she puts it next to her neighbours that she doesn't like. We've just moved house

and the bin was attached to our house, at our old house. We don't have a bin, so we've just got a plastic bag in the corner, which we throw rubbish. It works fine. Well, you've been there for a few hours.

We'll let that one slide. Yeah. No, I don't really need a bin. Just a plastic bag is fine. Yeah? Yeah. See how long that lasts, go on.

Yeah. Let's go to Antonia on, I've just pre-read it. Sorry, on, oh, I ended the edge. Hi, Antonia.

Good morning. Morning. How are you? What's your temporary fix? I broke my tooth about six weeks ago. So one of my large teeth at the back broke it in half when I was

on a plane coming back from Australia. How did you do it? Did you bite into something? On a nut. Oh my god. Oh that's hurting me. I was eating those bags of nuts that they give you on the plane. Yeah. Yeah. That would have hurt.

Yeah. You know what? It didn't hurt that much. But it's one of the large teeth that needs either a root canal or a crown or both. Oh, God. So I have instead been blocking it with a piece of gum just for six weeks. Jesus. Right, and Tonya, this is not, you can't be doing this.

Right, so food and stuff can't get in the crack. You're just shoving like gum in there, almost like a glue. Like what do you do with holes in the walls like that? Like Sally's No Gaps. You just go like, get a bit of gum. If food doesn't get in, is it working all right at the moment? Yeah, it's fine. It's probably at the point now

where I need to get it fixed. But when you're chewing, wouldn't the gum sort of get stuck to then the food that you're chewing and then in turn get lifted off the tooth? Yeah, and then you just have to chew up another piece of gum and put another piece of gum.

What a nightmare. And also the mint of the gum would ruin the flavour of the food you're eating. What a shocker. What a shocker. All right, out there, of course. What a nightmare. And also the mint of the gum would ruin the flavour of the food you're eating. What a shocker. What a shocker. All right, out there, Antonia. What is your temporary dodgy fix? Hey, Joanna.

Hey. Okay, what are you putting up with? It's kind of funny, actually. My partner's probably listening to this too. So a few years ago, we had a big leak in our roof, and the ceiling got pulled down, So the ceiling was wrecked. And half the bathroom doesn't have a ceiling. But my partner's put a curtain up to block the broken ceiling.

So when you're sitting on the toilet, you can't see it. Okay, so it's just... What? So it's just, if the blanket wasn't there, you just look into the roof? Yeah. This honestly, like, shocks me that you're having to live like this. How long did you say? Well, I've been living there

for maybe a year and a half now. I've been like that the whole time. Wow. And what does he do for a job? He's a fencer. Gutted, he's not a roofer. So close. I've seen that Joseph said our swimming pool leaks,

but instead of fixing the little craps, I just put the garden hose every few days and top it up for the past three years. I'd be worried about where it's leaking to. I know. All right, let's go to Mike. Mike, as well, 0800 Edge, what's your temporary fix? Oh, I've had to duct tape my front bumper to my car. It's been hanging off for the past six months.

Right, so that's dangerous. Because one day that'll fail Had to duct tape my front bumper to my car. It's been hanging off for the past six months. Right. So that's dangerous. Because one day that'll fail and it'll just fall off on the motorway or something. My goodness. Do you just replace the duct tape every month or something? Every couple of days I have to kind of just strap it back together with more duct tape. Yeah, right. Nice.

Add a little more. Yeah. I mean, just take the bumper off. Who needs a bumper? Really? Yeah, I saw a more. Yeah. I mean, just take the bumper off. Who needs a bumper? Really? Yeah, I saw a car. Yeah, just drive around. Okay, so.

Someone else has had a hole in their shower wall for seven years. They've just had a sheet of plastic taped to the wall to cover it. A lot of holes in walls coming through. Yeah. A lot of holes. Someone else has got air con. You know how it can swing? So it can go like left and right across the room, but it's just stuck on one angle.

Oh, yeah. It just blows out the front door. And someone else, their wisdom tooth just keeps popping out so they have to keep pushing it down. Oh god, that's foul. Okay, we will choose somebody who has text in one of their dodgy temporary fixes that they haven't

been able to get around to making a permanent fix and we'll get you on for cash strap next. So keep the text coming through 3343 and we'll choose somebody and we'll get you on to play. Antonia with the gummy tooth is my favourite so far. She's front-running for me too. Clint, Meg and Dan with a share of $50,000. With the edge, Cash Trapped.

Guaranteed cash winners at 7 and 8. You can take the money that is offered to you by Mick. Sorry, I've got an apple sticker on your head, Mick. How did that happen? We did hardly like dim apples before and you got the sticker off the apple in your hair. Sorry, I should have been able to just... Where is it? I didn't know you were a powdery ambrosia, Mick.

Never mind. Where is it? I can push on. No, you've got it. You've definitely got it. Where is it? Okay, so you can take the cash offered to you by Meg. $380 was offered at 7, or you go with the money strapped to Dan,

which was less than the money offered at 7. Or you can go with the sticker stuck to Meg. Where is it? Antonia, hi. We just put you before about your dodgy tooth. Good morning. Good morning. Have you had a quote about how much, so if you've missed it before,

you had a tooth that snapped in half on a plane and you've been plugging it with chewing gum. Yeah, I've had a quote. So they quoted me, if it's removed, it's $4.50. If it's a root canal, it's $1,700. Yikes. And then if I have a root canal, I have to have a crown in six months to a year which would then be

about another $1,700 to $2,000 That's expensive Cool cool cool Meg's like, how do we feel about ripping it out? Yeah, I will I will pay most of you to rip it out, okay?

You just have to pay $40. $410 is my offer. And then you can just get that. Who needs a tooth anyway? Yeah, exactly. It's one of the back ones. You don't need them. Okay, so $410 more than Meg offered at 7,

and it was actually the way to go. Dan had less cash strapped to him at 7 o'clock. I don't know. If you missed that one, Antonia, that helps your decision. How cash strapped are you, Antonia'clock. I don't know. If you miss that one, Antonia, that helps your decision. How cash-strapped are you, Antonia? Because if I was you right now, I would risk it. You need money.

You need a lot of money. Yeah, she's got a guarantee $410. I know, but risk it. The chances of me having less than like $200 is pretty slim, I'd imagine. Okay? So I reckon the least you're going to go away with is $200. You don't know that. Or you could risk that. I know I don't. But? So I reckon the least you're going to go away with is $200. You don't know that! Or you could risk that.

I know I don't, but you could risk that $400. But why do you keep trying to convince her? Why don't we just let her? You don't know anything. As Dan's speaking, as soon as he says, I have no idea what is strapped to me, everything he says beyond there is just rubbish. But think of the possibility, or I'm asking,

that that whole root canal could be paid for. That's all I'm saying. Okay, Antonia, $410. Yours, are you going to be the person that turns $410 down and continue to plug your tooth with gum? That is such a good offer.

But, but, but, but, but, but... I'm going to rough gas Yeah, good on you Good on you, Antonia She's going for the full replacement Or she's going to be shoving gum in the crack For another six to eight weeks No matter what, you'll be able to buy some more gum, I imagine

With whatever Dan offers you What have you got, Dan? Okay, here we go Money is given back to Meg You no longer have any cash, Antonia. Okay, I've reached into the vest. Oh, my goodness. I've pulled out a figure.

What's your favourite gum of choice, Antonia? Oh, no. Oh, Jesus. Be a man, click it. Okay, well, you've got $320 worth of it. Oh, amazing. It's not too bad. It's not the way you should have played,

but you're still leaving with a decent amount. I really thought it would be a lot more. Amazing. Thank you. Doesn't Dan just aggravate the crap out of you, Antonia, that he convinced you to do that? I didn't really, though. Clint, what did that man just do? I always, oh, maybe I was a bit convincing.

You don't know your power, Weeby. You don't know your power. No, but I think, Antonia, you've gone away with a good amount of money. Yeah, absolutely. $320. Thanks, Antonia.

Good luck. Okay. I'm surprised by how much people roll the dice on like cash amounts like $400, $500 and they're still like, let's go again.

I think she was lucky to have a safety net of $320. Yeah, I agree. Some have left with $15. I reckon that was, I'm sure it was going to be more. We are due like a thousand bucks from Dan, no? He was throwing me about willy nilly. Can't we be due a thousand dollars from Meggie?

Oh, Meggie Moo over here? I've even done more than like 400. You can't give yourself a nickname. Why can't I? Can I keep trying though? Maybe not Meggie Moo. Oh, right. Supposedly, if you go inside one of these for a prolonged period of time, it can make you go insane.

An anechoic chamber. Nausea, dizziness. I think you can leave really messed in the head because it is a completely silent chamber. In fact, minus 2.8 decibels. Yeah. Turn the lights off, no sound, so you lose your sense of hearing and also sight.

There's documented cases of, like, serious mental health issues from people that have gone in there for too long. And after a guy went in there and couldn't stand it and was demanded that he be released after 86 minutes, we decided to go and check one out after the show. Is Clint immune to an anaconic chamber? Anacoic. Anacoic.

Stop saying that. You may not have seen the story. Maybe you did. There's a guy who went into an anacoic chamber, a silent chamber, left alone with his own thoughts and went a bit insane after being released, demanded to be let out after 86 minutes, said he couldn't handle it anymore.

Too quiet. You can hear yourself blink. You can hear your heartbeat. I, yeah, I got a little tiny taste of it. I couldn't hear any of that, so I think I've got some ear issues. But it wasn't down to me. We wanted to check the most talkative man on the show, Clint.

See how I would go being given the silent treatment by Meg and Dan. So we actually arrived at Auckland University. They have one of these chambers to test electronic equipment and microphones and things like that. Been there for years. Yeah, it was crazy.

And we had a few questions because Megan sort of scared me on the way in as to some of the symptoms and things that I could experience. Is it actually as weird as everyone says it is? Because I'm expecting to just go in there and it's being pretty quiet. People are just like, oh, this is amazing. Oh, I'm just really excited. Oh, well, I've got got two very loud children so i think it'll be amazing for me to me it feels like you walking underwater like

like you kind of feel this sort of weird pressure change oh then mig changed her tune because she was like i'm not going in because i'm pregnant and then all of a sudden what she heard that could be fun she changed oh well yeah i googled it and it was like pregnant woman should not go in it could put you off balance i read up that it was like pregnant women should not go in. It could put you off balance. I read up that being pregnant, I could only go in for like a very short amount of time. And if that, it might still be too dangerous for the baby and the mum. Disorientation, you get nausea, you can have panic attacks. That's what it just says online.

But if I, yeah, I'd love to. It totally depends on the person. Really? Yeah, yeah, totally. Some people will go in there. Some people are just like, oh, this is amazing. Okay. God, I'm annoying. annoying why do we play this audio that just makes me hate myself shut up sorry i don't know it's always good to have a wake-up call

so uh then the massive iron door uh opens up and we're able to be let in. Wait, you can actually hear the audio quality change as we go in when there is no outside noises being recorded. Yes, right. Okay. Oh, wow, this whole thing's like a metal trampoline. It's making me feel weird and the door's not closed. Wow, so you can't even make sound underfoot. It's really strange, Simon.

There's 1.2 metres of foam on all. 1.2 metres on every side. And are you guys both married? Both married? Yeah. So how often do you guys come in here daily? I know.

Oh God, can we never be outside in public again? Am I the least embarrassing person on this show? Actually, I'll take myself out of the running for being the least embarrassing because at one point, when I'm about to be left in this room for as long as I can handle

before I start banging on the door and demanding that I be let out. But before that happened, Dan was kind of now also a little bit jealous that this punishment for me actually looked like it might have been a bit of fun. So Dan wanted to stay in the chamber with me for a few minutes and kind of experience.

Not the whole time. I just wanted to see what it was like. Yeah. And it was just Dan and I. Yeah. Oh, wow. Ah! And we're in a airtight room. You arsehole.

Clan, don't. Clan! Clan! What the hell was that? I farted twice! You're an arsehole. They said the rules, no farting. Oh, did they?

Didn't hear that? I love how Meg heard it from outside the soundproof chamber. She's like, what was that? What happened? Because they had a microphone in the room so that if you actually are distressed, you could shout, let me out, let me out, and they would come.

Because they obviously couldn't hear you if the room wasn't mic'd. I was so nervous for you. I had so many near panic attacks when you were in there, Clint. We're going to get into that next. But he kept thinking you were dead. Yeah, I did.

But me, think. Please think. How has he died in there? Like, has he died of silence? The thing is, Clint, what you don't know is that the guys couldn't figure out

if they had the sound on. And we had no video. So I was like, so Clint could just be screaming in there. And they were like, yeah, well, we just... But why? Why would he be screaming?

Because he could be having a panic attack. Why? Because it was the quietest place on earth. That was lovely. Actually, when you got two kids, yeah, I was like, oh, jeez. Like, at the beginning, I was like, oh, my gosh. And then you two idiots. I don't know what you were doing, but it was just...

It was actually really peaceful. Right. Lisa just texted saying, my favourite thing to do when I get home from work as a teacher is take my hearing implants off and then just enjoy the absolute silence Is a hearing implant similar to a hearing aid?

Maybe it's a different type of thing That would be amazing, hey? We got to experience an anechoic chamber at Auckland University which they use as an acoustic testing facility and we went in there at minus 2.8 decibels and Megan Dan left me in there for just over 40 minutes. Yeah, if you can imagine.

On my own. Oh, yeah, I think 45 in the end. I can paint the picture for you. It's like, I guess, like a big silo almost, and it's got a trampoline for the bottom so you don't hear anything underfoot, and then it's got a whole load of sponges up the wall, on the roof, and under the floor. And underneath you as well, yeah.

And those sponges suck any sound away. And so I was lying there, lights off, in the pitch black so you couldn't see anything and you couldn't hear anything. And you just like lie there, no sight, no hearing, left alone with your own thoughts. It meant to make you go a little crazy, a little nauseous,

quite disorientated because you don't know which way is sort of, you know, when you're walking around you start like falling over, which I did a little bit actually when I got up and sort of walked around. I was finding it hard to balance. You know what it made me feel? It made me feel like, because you sometimes, I think most people think that they've heard silence before,

but this was next level silence. Like absolutely no atmospheric sound at all. Yeah, it was very bizarre. So this was a moment 40 minutes later when Meg and Dan decided I'd had enough and opened the door to let me out. Alright, we need lunch. You've been in here for 40 minutes. 40 minutes?

Yes. Come on. Have you been farting in here? Jesus Christ. Come on. It is like euphoric get out it's like the most

why have you got your sunglasses on oh my god look at this when did that happen has this solved all your issues this is the least stressed I have been all year

I feel like I mean I don't know I feel like this is probably what it's like when you do drugs. Was any part of you just thinking about Meg and I sitting out there and waiting out there for you to do a special moment?

I was like, they've gone home. It honestly feels like spiritual. I imagine it's like what happens when you die and it's like lights out, no sound and you just wait for that like bright light and you follow the light it was like it's like i died it was amazing it was like honestly i want to build one of these chambers for my house it was like the

best thing i think i've done all year. See you, mate. See you, guys. Turn the lights off. Shut me back in there for a bit. How privileged is it that he's even contemplating building an anaconic chamber in his house? He would, too. He would. I actually like proper fizzed it. I loved

it. You know how people say you can go like crazy? I don't know. Maybe it depends how loud and busy your world is, where the alternative is actually quite enjoyable. Yeah. I loved it. You know how people say you can go like crazy? I don't know, maybe it depends how loud and busy your world is where the alternative is actually quite enjoyable. Yeah, I think it's funny it would be quite weightlessness as well because you're laying

on a trampoline. So it's almost like you're just suspended in darkness. It's incredible really. Oh, amazing. And then I was the whole time wondering

Get me claustrophobia. What are Meg and Dan doing? Well, like for 40 minutes while I'm just lying in this like, like for 40 minutes. 40 minutes. I'm lying in this like pitch black soundproof room. Oh, yeah. And we kept ourselves entertained in an echo chamber. I'll go first.

This is Meg next. Oh, my God. Do we have a replay of just me? Yeah, I've got you guys, I guess, filmed each other for 40 minutes in the reverberation chamber, which is the opposite of what I was experiencing. Oh, and it's out of my inquiry To those who crown me

Take a message back from me Yeah, that's me singing with Wicked. Yeah. Text Echo if you want to see the full video, 3343. So Meg was like, oh my God, I finally can. You have not seen a bounce back up. Yes. Oh, God, yes.

Yeah, Carl did. Okay. And then, Meg, you actually sounded like you could sing for the first time in your life. Yeah. Replay my little like, huh, else a bit? No, I've got another bit. Ave Maria.

She lost it eventually then. Ave Maria. Ave Maria's lost it, I think. I mean, it puts a reverb up, but it's not an auto-tune room. I'm very excited. And then I realised, oh, okay. Meg needs an auto-tune room.

She's like, right, let's let Clint down. Clint, Meg and Dan. Let's go. Okay, producer Carl has gone and spent quite a bit of money on a brand new hobby. But I thought he was too bloody busy to have a hobby. He's got like a three year old

or something, two year old. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And also very busy at work. But the biggest nerd that I know, Carl. Is he?

You don't think Carl's the biggest nerd? He's a nerd, yeah. And he loves being a nerd. That's not an insult to him and it shouldn't be. No, self-proclaimed, definitely.

Nerd alert. So I've got a guess of the hobby. Can I guess the hobby? Go for it. So you said it was he got secondhand was $400.

Yeah, secondhand. He bought something to participate in his new hobby. $400 secondhand. I think I've got it. What is it? Metal detecting. Oh, I've always wanted

to do that but no it wasn't. It's not that. Nerd alert. Could I have a guess? Yeah, go on. Drone maybe? Drone?

Oh, he'd have one of those for sure nah I had one of those yeah I think he's got like some sort of tech like sound equipment oh yeah

you know that like measures the decibels of trucks and shit you know and he's like sitting on the side of the road

on the motorway that sounds awesome that truck was 77 decibels what's your purchase car what's your new hobby okay so the new hobby and yes I am probably too busy for a new hobby That sounds awesome. And that track was 77 decibels. What did you purchase, Carl? What's your new hobby? Okay, so the new hobby, and yes, I am probably too busy for a new hobby, but my wife has been encouraging me to get a hobby. Out of the house.

Wow, that says a lot. Literally, and she's like, and it can't have anything to do with radio or podcasting. And I was like, oh, okay. So I was taking my daughter for a walk the other day over at Lake Papuki, and we were walking around, and I came around the corner, and I just saw all these retired men racing remote-control yachts. Oh, I've seen these before. They're tiny little boats, like you see on Stuart Little.

Oh, yes. I love this. They're so cool. And there was 10 of them, and they were racing, and they were, like, coming up to the line, like, sail GP, and then the gun went off and they all started racing and I was like, this is awesome. So they're not motorised.

They actually just use sail, like wind power. The power of the wind, man. Wow. Yes, just us and nature in a remote control yacht. Oh God, that's so Carl. That's so Carl. It was awesome. I need a hobby as well.

I feel like I need to get one and we could race. And now I just know my husband will also be joining in on this. Clint, are you busy or are you going to be getting a salvo to you? Nah, I sound like I'm too young for this. We're just saying something. Wait, so they're not motorised? Because I have seen motorised ones and I get a bit freaked out with them because people almost

hit ducks. I went and did my first race on Sunday with my new yacht. I was the youngest guy there by 30 years. Brilliant. We should get three mice if you want to join Clint and we could have three mice and do like Stuart Little and put them on each boat. That's my new yacht. I was the youngest guy there by 30 years. Brilliant. We should get three mice. If you want to join, Clint, and we could have three mice and do like Stuart Little and put them on each boat.

That's my little boat. That would be cool, man. Wait, so you're in your 30s, so the youngest dude was in his 60s. How old's the oldest dude who was doing it? Oh, God, he shouldn't have been there. He died. He died from doing what he loved.

Yeah, someone else inherited his yacht this week, maybe. Clint, I mean, he brought it. $400 worth. That was his one, the dead guy. Yeah, someone else inherited his yacht this week maybe. Clint, I mean, he brought it. $400 worth. That was his one, the dead guy. Yeah, worth it.

So you'd be a bit of a celebrity then every time you go down there like, oh, that's that dude in his 30s who likes to race sailboats.

We always, we need to keep the hobby alive. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, down there listening to the sound FM.

It was kind of like my wife and I when we went on our honeymoon and we were quite young, we were like 24 and we went on a cruise ship for like three weeks and I when we went on our honeymoon, and we were quite young, we were like 24, and we went on a cruise ship for like three weeks,

and I swear to God, the next oldest after us would have been in their probably early 50s. So we were like a celebrity couple on board because we were the only couple that were in their 20s. Everyone else was like Zimmer framing, like the amount of Zimmer frames with tennis balls on the bottom outside the rooms when we got over. It was ridiculous. Yeah, the cruising game, eh? Yeah, and so we definitely felt out of place in that regard.

I imagine a lot of the crafting world, felting, quilting. You're yawning. It's so boring you're yawning talking about it. That was natural. Who said quilting and started yawning? Yeah. I think hobbies are mainly an old people's sport. I think it's so sad, though.

Why don't you tell us your hobby, and we'll try and guess your age. If you have a hobby that doesn't necessarily fit your age bracket, maybe you're too young or too old, typically, for this type of hobby. Or you might be bang on as well. Yeah. And we can guess that. Yeah, true. All right, you tell us your hobby. We're going to try and guess

how old you are. I love it. Based on where you spend your money and how you spend your free time. Our producer Carl has taken up a hobby, sailing, remote control sailing boats.

I love that. I really want to join him. But he says that he is the youngest by at least 30 years as part of the crew that go down and race them in the weekends. It's a bit of an old man's game by the sounds.

We'd love to know, what is your hobby? We're going to try and guess how old you are based on the thing that you like to do in your spare time. Hmm. I do have a question now, boys, that we're going to be able to tell by their voices. So maybe I'm just going to read it out and then we can talk to the person on the phone. I think ballpark. Some people have a young sounding voice, though. That's true.

Okay. Crochet. So crocheting like your wife Hannah. My wife Hannah does it and I'd argue that it's kind of an in thing to do now. Really? Yeah. It's slowly growing.

I think it went out of fashion for a while and I think now it's come back into fashion. Having to lock in 34 or something? Yeah, I think a millennial age. 34? 34. Carly, how old are you? Bang on, 34.

Oh my God! Nice work. Bang on, 34. Oh, my God. Nice work. Bang on. Are we good at this? How long have you been crocheting for, Carly? Probably eight or nine years. Wow. Good on you.

You must be good. Yeah, learnt off YouTube. What do you mainly crochet in? Clothes, little animals? Oh, everything and anything. Yeah. It's actually very difficult. My wife Hannah does it, as I mentioned before.

It looks really hard to do. Yeah, it does. Okay, cool. Thank you very much, Carly. Next up. What? Josie's texting saying she crochets as well. She only does male genitalia.

Good on her. See, it's such a versatile hobby. Yeah, so she does encrochet little animals. All right, we have puzzles. Their hobby is puzzles, doing puzzles, board games and puzzles, and I guess mostly just doing like jigsaw puzzles. I don't know. I think she'd be out of the norm, but I reckon...

Yeah, I do have a friend's mother-in-law that always is doing a puzzle, but so does your wife like doing a puzzle, Clint. Jamie loves a puzzle. Didn't you get one for an anniversary present recently? Yeah, yeah. The only time I ever do them is when we're on holiday and you've got nothing else to do

and you just sort of potter away at it. Well, how old's your wife, Clint? She's 37. She loves a puzzle. Okay, we go mid-30s again. Okay, 37. Taylor, how old are you? I am 27. 10 years off. Yeah, yeah. Taylor, how old are you? I am 27.

Oh, she's 10 years off. Yeah, man. And it's jigsaw puzzles that you like doing? Yeah, mostly the Woz Jack puzzles. Oh, yeah. Woz Jack, classic 90s. I hate those because puzzles are hard enough when you're actually following the picture,

and this one has no picture to follow. It drives me mad why people do those. Thank you, Taylor. We didn't win that one. What about croquet? Like in Analyst of Wonderland. Is that where you have that almost long mallet and you smack balls through? Oh, no one's playing that under the age of 45.

No, but is it coming cool again? Is it kind of like pickleball? I don't think croquet. And bowls. Do you know how bowls is fun again? It's like, you know, young people's sport is bowls. I think young for croquet would still be in your late 40s. 40s, yeah.

I reckon mid to late 40s croquet. Okay, so which one do you want to lock in? I disagree. 47? 46? 46. 46. No way, no way.

Georgia, how old are you? I'm 22. I was going to say 24. Damn it. Okay, so Georgia, when did you get into croquet and why? I was 19 when I started. And I just had a bad car accident. And I couldn't really do much young people stuff.

So I figured I was like an old person. So I don't know, I sort of just figured what old people do. Yeah. Do you waste them? Yeah, I do actually., I sort of just figured what old people do. Yeah, do you waste them? Yeah, I do actually. Yes, smash them. Has you doing it made other young people do it or are you still the youngest? No, see, I'm still the youngest by at least 50 years.

Yeah, so you guys were right then, really, when it comes to like it hasn't modernised yet. It's a real ego boost. Like if you're feeling a bit crap about yourself, you were never the sporty kid in school, just go play croquet and just waste the elderly and then you leave just like every Saturday. Just a great ego boost. Yeah, with a big ego pump up. Yeah, I love that.

We do have Josie. Do you want to talk to Josie who crochets the penises? Oh, sure. I'd love to, yeah. Josie, so you only crochet male genitalia. Why? That's like a large sum of what I do. It turns out a lot of middle-aged women really like me.

Middle-aged women? Middle-aged women. Oh, so you crochet them for them? Is it to hold? Yeah. No, I put little signs on them. And what do the signs say? So one of my signs says, I may be small, but I believe in you. Go do your thing. Oh, good on them. And like, what do the signs say? So, one of my signs says,

I may be small, but I believe in you. Go do your thing. Oh, good on you. What's yours? Like, inspirational crochet penises?

Yeah. That's a real niche, Josie. I don't know if anybody else is coming for your business. What's the most, sorry, sorry,

Dan. I was just going to ask her if she could do Clint's one. You need about four sheep. Oh. Sorry, Josie.. I was just going to ask her if she could do Clint's one. You need about four sheep. Oh. Sorry, Josie. What's your number one bestseller? Well, just the standard, oh gosh, the European, that's so far,

but I'm still branching out. Wonderful. And they all have a little sign? They all have little signs, yes. And give your business a shout out. What's it called? Well, it's not official yet. I'm still getting there.

Okay. Oh, so we don't want to, it's sort of underground. Do you need help with the business name? Because we could come up with something. Please, I would love something. Cockshay. No, that doesn't work. No.

That was the one thing that I thought. Right, see, same way for you. Cockshay. Cockshay. Okay. Okay, we'll work on it, Jos doesn't work. No. That was the one thing that I thought. Right. See, same way for me. It's a crochet. Okay. Okay, we'll work on it, Josie. Yeah. Yeah, there's many options out there for her.

Yeah. Anyway. What's this interesting? There's a job for everyone. Yeah. There really is, isn't there? Yeah. I wouldn't have thought if I needed one of those,

like a crocheted pin, that there would be someone who could make that. I'd love to get Josie to send us a photo of a couple of her works. Just so we can have a look. Dan at theedge.co.nz. Yeah, just send them to me. Okay.

Holy shit, you made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough, check out our Only vent, podcast that is. Rover. Music, radio, podcasts.
