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.
Good morning, everyone.
Christchurch.
New Plymouth.
Hamilton.
Marlborough.
Napier.
Parmy.

Wellington.
Connors.
Gizzy.
Didn't know you existed out of summer.
Yeah, guys.
Yeah, we're shredding for R&V. Doubt I'd see you on the hill. Yeah, whatever, mate. We'llors. Gizzy. Didn't know you existed out of summer. Oh, yeah, guys. Yeah, we're shredding for R&V.
Doubt I'd see you on the hill.
Yeah, whatever, mate.
We'll see you in December.
But for now, we've got the Vs.
Wait, is he talking about us?
Oh, come on.
That can't be us, surely.
Okay, one more try.
Come on.
It's Clint Magentad.
Kia ora, good morning.
It is one to six on your Wednesday.
The Big Bang today.
It is.
Has anyone already done it?
Looking around the room.
I want to speak to someone that has, that's done it.
They could have done it any time from midnight last night to now.
Yeah, and to midnight tonight, right?
Yeah.
Well, so between midnight and almost 6am.
Anybody that's done it in this room, say aye.
Bugger.
How naggy would I have to be?
Babe, today's actually the day, so
yeah, I need my
honestly, it's still early, it's 4am.
Yeah, he's a company man, Clint, if he'd done that.
Yeah.
Don't let the team
down, babe.
No, I don't even think I've actually properly
run it by my wife yet about today, so maybe we'll need to do that. Oh, you missed this yesterday, actually, baby. No, I don't even think I've actually properly run it by my wife yet
about today, so maybe we'll need to do that.
Oh, you missed this yesterday, actually, Clint.
It's nice to have you back, but yesterday, you know Dan
was going on about how he also
hadn't told his wife.
Turns out she said he'd been bringing it up
every day for the past three or four weeks.
She lies.
She has heard plenty about it, Clint, and it's
a once-a-day topic.
When he was acting like she had never known about it.
Jeff.
Oh, no, Jeff is not.
You don't go to Jeff to try and get away from your story.
Jeff, have you taken part in the Big Bang?
Yes.
Hey, already?
That was a guilty yes.
Already?
Jeff, I doesn't.
With someone? What, like a guilty yes. Already? Jeff, I doesn't... Yes.
With someone?
What, like a two-player game?
Ah, yep.
I don't know if he has.
I don't know if he... I don't know if he finished.
He doesn't sound very happy.
I don't know if he knows you called the edge just then.
He's like, uh, yep.
Is this how I get cash?
Now, Clint, apparently there's some audio that you need to play.
I don't know anything about this, Meg.
It sounds like you know a lot about it, Daniel.
You just brought it up.
Well, the producers have said.
Okay.
They whisper in your ear.
I know.
Sometimes there's voices in my ear.
Sometimes it's producers.
Sometimes it's not.
Sometimes we just guess.
And Clint Randall, our dear friend, who's not here today,
has been C&B'd.
Oh, God, go to town.
No, no, don't.
Don't do that.
C&B.
Don't graffiti anything.
Scratch eyes out.
Yeah, do a couple of teeth in.
Yeah, so over the weekend.
So you just brought that up.
You're the one that brought that to air.
I should not.
No, Clint, to be fair, over the weekend,
my wife, Hannah, saw a poster, over the weekend, my wife, Hannah,
saw a poster, one of the street posters that's advertising our show,
and you've been done with a C&B.
Yeah, but he's encouraged everyone to do it more.
He said the more the merrier on Clint.
And you know why?
He's projecting because he's the only one with his mouth wide open.
Oh, no, you should have heard the whole break.
Should have heard exactly what I was saying.
Yeah, Dan, if you watch, there's like a,
you might even see it on social, almost like a,
I guess they've put together like a movie or like a reel
based on a whole bunch of pictures all cut together.
In every photo, Dan's got his mouth wide open,
gagging for a CMB, and now he's projecting that onto me.
Yeah, well, I've got to because I do look like
one of those clowns you see at the circus.
You know, where you put
the balls in their mouth.
I'm like that.
Constantly in the photo shoot.
And so I need to deflect
onto Clint.
And luckily,
I didn't even need to do that
because someone's done it themselves.
I'm going to try
and go to the place today
and get a photo of it.
How'd they even see and be me?
My mouth's closed.
Yeah, but they're like
sort of just rubbing it
over your lips.
He hasn't even seen it
and he's excited about it. Don't even listen to him. He hasn't even seen it and he's excited about it.
Don't even listen to him.
He doesn't even know.
I still think Hannah got confused and saw her husband get sent in.
And I'm hoping he turns up, takes a photo of it, and it's him.
Someone's got me and Dan confused.
And then he's like, damn it.
Oh, bugger, I aimed it the wrong way.
So anyway, I will hammer this home.
If you see one of these posters, deface the crap out of it.
Do something to Meg's face.
Rub off her nose or something.
Please don't.
What about you?
Oh, I'm already stuffed.
Thicken up Dan's top of lip or whatever.
Oh, that'd be nice actually.
Help a brother out.
Help a brother out.
Fill it out a little bit, would you?
Yeah.
Anyway.
We're getting into our 6am throwback with the big bang going on today.
It feels like it'll be hard to go past GCJ and Ariana Grande.
Unless we did Skrillex's Bangarang.
Bangarang.
Man, I used to play that and think I was such a cool girl.
I'd play it loud if I saw a hot guy with my window down because I thought they must think
that I'm hot if I listen to Skrillex.
Yeah, and it's a filthy, filthy, filthy beat, isn't it?
It's dutty.
Isn't that thing just like one of the most filthy?
Daniel, you have never, ever described songs as filthy and dutty.
Oh, I have.
Do we even have it in the system?
That's the question.
We do, but it won't play.
Oh, bugger.
I would almost have it like ready to play
if I saw a hot guy
and I'd just start
like playing it.
How would you dance
if you...
Well, I wouldn't dance.
I'd be driving.
I'd be like this.
And then can you play it?
It won't play.
It's got like an X on it.
Can you sing it or something?
Bang-a-rang.
Oh, guys,
you guys have given me the X.
What the hell happened
while I was gone?
Imagine if it's you and I in a car and I'm like, there's a hot guy in here.
There's a hot guy going.
Oh, she leaves it now.
Clint says.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
I was away yesterday because my beautiful and very lively auntie passed away after losing her fight with cancer.
And even though you know it's coming, when it actually does and the reality hits that that's it,
death is just so final, it was really heartbreaking to hang out with my papa,
who no one should have to bury their youngest child.
That's your worst nightmare, eh?
Yeah, and then her boys, my cousins, are like 29 and 30,
and one of them's just had a baby.
And so I guess you start thinking about, you know,
raising a child that's not going to get to know grandma.
It's just heartbreaking.
That's so horrible, Clint.
So sorry to hear that, Clint.
Yeah, thanks, guys.
I appreciate holding down the fort yesterday.
And whether you believe in divine intervention or not,
I thought this was really quite strange yesterday,
that my auntie's been fighting this battle with cancer for a long time,
and her son had a fantail fly into the house that morning.
I love fantails.
That his mum had passed.
And supposedly in Maori culture,
fantail is a sign of spirits and passing. And so he was just saying in the hospital that that had passed. And supposedly in Maori culture, fantail is a sign of spirits and passing.
And so he was just saying in the hospital that that had happened.
And then later on that Monday afternoon and evening,
we're all hanging out from, say, five o'clock,
having a couple of beers and some pizza.
And music was just playing just randomly
from five o'clock in the evening through to maybe nine.
So four hours of just tunes playing.
And as we're all like,
okay, it's probably time to call it.
And we'll see you for the funeral on the weekend.
We're all getting going.
We're all saying our goodbyes.
We're all hugging.
And we're all leaving.
And we say to mum and,
my mum and Aunty Brenda,
which are the two sisters
of Aunty Don who's passed,
they're still kind of just swaying
and holding each other and just,
I guess dancing, like, you know, to the music.
And it was like mum and dad, oh, sorry, mum and Aunty Brenda,
it's time to go, this song comes on.
We are family.
I've got all my sisters with me.
Is this one for the taste?
Yeah.
I just thought, and I said to mum, I said, I don't know,
because mum's not a real lyric person, she's not great at lyrics.
I said, I don't know if this is lost on you,
but I said, listen to the song right now.
Like, we are family, I've got all my sisters with me,
and Aunty Donna had passed, both her sisters,
the last two swaying and dancing as the rest of us
are trying to get them to leave the house.
And you can sit there and go, coincidence,
fantail season, coincidence, it's just music.
Or you can choose to believe it's more.
What is it?
You know what I mean?
I always choose to believe it's more.
I always choose to believe.
And why wouldn't you for that situation?
Exactly.
Any of those situations.
So yeah,
I think it absolutely was.
We've had John Edwards psychic medium on before
and we've asked him like,
are there signs that people are still with?
And he goes,
there are signs everywhere. But some of us just choose and he goes there are signs everywhere but some of us
just choose to ignore them and he said
some of us don't and yeah I know
people are like oh it's coincidence, coincidence but I guess
if you keep fobbing everything off as coincidence then maybe those who
have passed stop trying to show up in your life
and remind you that they're still watching over you
Isn't that amazing?
I'm still not as bad a day
Clint as the person that's saying
hey is it okay to be locked
out of your house
by your partner?
Please ask your listeners
this morning,
good morning.
So that's somebody
who's been locked
out of home
at the moment.
At this time in the morning?
God,
what happened to that?
I would say
there's probably a reason.
If you're literally
getting home
from last night,
then yeah,
that might be why.
You want to re-evaluate
your partying habits. Don't find the spare key. Usually it's hidden under a like plant or why. On a Tuesday. Yeah. You want to re-evaluate your partying habits.
Don't find the spare key.
Usually it's hidden
under a like
pot plant or something.
Yeah, yeah.
That's where I put mine.
Oh, mix.
Just the second to the left
if you want to rob it.
The Clint, Meg and Dan Podcast.
Scandal with Meg.
So Brittany Carpenter
has successfully
become a movie star.
She's starred in movies
in the past. Tall Girl on star. She's starred in movies in the past.
Tall Girl on Netflix.
She is also
a fantastic singer.
She has created awesome swimsuits
that I wouldn't get my hands on, but you know, also
Is it her own brand? Nah, she's collabed,
but she's designed them. They seem very Sabrina Carpenter
so you feel like she actually had her hand in it.
She's done two perfumes.
She's done a lot, hasn't she? She has. She's a busy girl.
Busy woman.
That would have been a good time to play the song.
Damn it.
What, Busy Woman?
Yeah, she has a song called Busy Woman.
Oh, does she?
Yeah.
Let me see if we've got it.
Come on.
Okay, let me make the gag again.
Okay.
Well, come on.
Okay, we got it?
You know what she is?
I mean, wait.
Stuffed it up.
Dan, you know what she is?
What?
Oh, it doesn't work. Yes, it doesn. Dan, you know what she is. What? I don't know how anybody could have stuffed that up more.
I know she went straight into Busy Woman.
This is what I like about our show.
It's not as polished as the others.
Sabrina Kambana is now in Fortnite.
What?
Busy Woman. Yeah, she's in Fortnite. What? Busy woman.
Yeah, she's in Fortnite.
So I'll show you, you can get an avatar of her.
So you'll know in other people and characters
have been avatars in the past.
You can be Sabrina Cabana now.
It's very lifelike too.
Isn't it cool?
If you want to see, you can text Sabrina to 3343.
I'll send you the trailer.
And I'll show you guys the trailer as well.
You can see in the background so you can describe what's happening.
Look at this. Do I have to pay for a Sabrina Cup, the skin or whatever?
I think you probably will.
Hey, look at that.
Neeps would know.
Producer Neeps.
Neeps, are you paying for your skin?
Yeah, I've already bought it.
Yeah, there it is.
So it'll be roughly, I'd say, $1,800 V-Bucks, which is the in-game currency,
and that's maybe $12 New Zealand dollars or something like that.
You can have a bargain against the breeder.
I'll pay any money for that.
Of course not. I just think it's cool.
So Clarissa's put a thing, anybody will get to playing with her.
Alright, good job.
I've got a new world
wonderful Wednesdays.
She's a busy woman.
No, it doesn't fit, remember?
It doesn't fit.
It's the end.
It was delayed, Dan.
Have you got to do the gag?
Hit the song off quicker.
Don't get mad at me for ruining the gag.
Yeah, mate, leave the songs to me from now on, thank you.
I hope you don't.
Clint, Megan, Dan, stinky boo.
All right, what is going on?
What have you guys been cooking up?
All right, so to catch you up,
one of New Zealand's restaurants has been named
Best in the World.
In the World, top three.
Best in the World.
Amersfield.
Amersfield down in Queenstown.
Yeah, top three.
So the third, and think of that,
like all of the restaurants in Italy,
New York.
Better than them.
Dan doesn't know any other places.
His geography is very limitless.
Paris could have done pity.
Japan as well.
Like some of the most incredible Japanese restaurants.
Amazing, amazing.
And so we were saying that, wow, incredible.
Let's see if we could go.
And we're doing this off air because we're like, that sounds fancy.
That sounds lovely.
But then we had a look at the prices,
and it ended up being about $700, $695 for the best meal that you could get,
which was like the chef's meal, and then $600 for the wine tasting.
For lunch, it's $240 without alcohol.
It's like a degustation, where they have 11 tiny little courses.
Yeah, and I went down them, and I was looking through them, and there's things, one's called the whole beast.
I don't know what they mean.
A goat's tail, green bone.
They don't sound appetisers.
Bluff oyster.
Yeah, lovely.
Power.
That's another one.
Crab.
I guess, I'm guessing these are all pretty self-explanatory, as is also eel on vogels.
Obviously, when it comes out, you know, they have like dry, like, steaming off the top of it and all this stuff,
and it's all very fancy.
But I guess they can't have all that written down,
so they just have duck.
But eel on Vogel's feels pretty...
To us, it does.
To New Zealanders.
But I'd argue, if you've come from another country,
you've come from China, and you see eel on Vogel's...
You go, excuse me, what's Vogel's?
What's Vogel's?
Is that a special herb?
Well, in comes the eel on Vogels from our producer, Carl.
Is it cooked eel?
It looks boiled.
It's cooked, yeah.
I think on the menu, like, the Michelin star restaurant did,
like, they smoked it and stuff.
I didn't have a smoke, so I just nuked it.
To be fair, Carl, it doesn't say smoked. It doesn't have a smoke so I just nuked it. To be fair, Carl,
it doesn't say smoked.
It doesn't say microwaved either.
Well, I could have nailed it. They might have nuked it too.
So we've got a wheel in the studio.
Is there apple on the bread too?
It said fragrant apple on the menu item as well.
So you've got a slice of apple, you've got
microwaved eel, and then you've got
your Vogel's toast. I think that's a face.
Is that an eel face? Yeah.
When you add face to any type of meat, it doesn't sound microwave eel, and then you've got your Vogel's toast. I think that's a face. Is that an eel face? Yeah, okay.
When you add face to any type of meat,
you don't really, it doesn't sound appetising, does it?
Most, most, most, most meat has face.
So let's spin the wheel.
Each of our names are on it.
I don't know why it would be on me,
because I literally can't even eat sushi,
so I'm not eating microwave eel.
If it lands on your face, Meg,
you get to choose whether Clint or I do it.
Okay?
Okay.
Here we go.
Spin the wheel.
Someone is going to be trying the ill face on Vogel's with a bit of apple.
Even the apple doesn't look appetising.
Come on, Dan. It's landing on me.
Which is, we knew it was going to happen.
The winning wheel hates me.
It does, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah. I didn't realise, though, that it was giving Meg the going to happen the winning wheel hates me it does doesn't it yeah yeah
I didn't realise though
that it was giving Meg the choice
shame winning wheel
I get to choose
the person
okay
now this is hard on me
people
listening
because
the whole plan was to make Clint eat this
this is what me and Dan have discussed together
we were like
wouldn't it be great if Clint had to do it
but Clint had a
like really bad day yesterday Dan
didn't he
but he's back.
It was a bad day.
Yeah, I'm hanging in there
for the team.
And then this morning
he talked about
it was really sad
but that's in my head now
and then you said
you haven't eaten yet.
Yeah, but I always do it
so why don't we get Clint to do it?
I know, I know.
That was the whole thing.
But isn't that also funny
that you think,
alright, well we're going to do
turns on the show
and then Meg doesn't.
She just like kicks you
while you're down.
If you want to
choose me
choose me
but just do it
quickly
oh he's rushing
you Meg
oh I didn't like
that
or you choose
Clint
up to you
no
well I haven't
chosen Clint
you bitch
you bitch
I'll serve it up
for you
get that face
on there
I'll get the
bit of face
I'm not going
to give him
too much
because you know look at him look at him he's cheered up look'll get the bit of face. I'm not going to give him too much because, you know.
Look at him.
Look at how much he's cheered up.
Look at how much he's cheered up.
No, he's not going to have to have the whole thing,
but he's going to have to have a substantial bite.
Have a fragrant apple.
Can you have that?
There you go.
The apple is not on it, by the way, Clint,
but you can have it if you want.
On the menu, it doesn't say with apple.
Oh, God, it's fallen onto the desk.
Dan!
There's eel in the desk.
Give me the plate so it doesn't go all over the desk, maybe.
Sorry, Casey, there's a bit of fish in your fader. There you go.! There's eel in the desk. Give me a place that doesn't go all over the desk, maybe. Sorry, Casey,
there's a bit of fish in your fader.
There you go.
A bit of eel there.
Okay.
Okay, here he goes.
Okay.
Come on, Clint.
Well, sorry,
I'm trying to run the desk as well, Dan.
It'll be easy for you
because you don't do anything
with your hands.
Don't worry.
Sit them on the desk.
Here he goes.
A bit more fish, please.
Hmm?
So this is what you could get
at Amersfield.
What do you think?
What are the notes?
Yummy?
Mm-hmm.
Yum.
Oh, not yummy.
That was all right for a second.
Oh, no.
I think when it hits the back of your throat.
Ah.
Maybe it was there.
That's a gag reflex.
It's not nice when it hits the back of your throat.
And when you breathe out through your nose,
the flavours, the aromas really take over your palate.
Are you getting that like
West Auckland stormwater pond
kind of aftertaste?
Yeah,
I just caught this.
No,
you didn't mention it.
Down the back of it.
Massey.
Not only is it an eel,
but it's had a
pretty much a surefire
diet of faeces
its whole life.
I would like the apple
to wash it down actually.
Microwave to perfection
Microwaved eel
Why is it all over my phone?
Apple and toast
Oh there we go
Out of ten how would you score it?
Two
What a shame
I like vocals
I think you just need to work on your presentation Carl really
I think that's the main thing
I'll stick to producing
Thanks for that Men writing erotic fiction for women You just need to work on your presentation, Carl, really. I think that's the main thing. I'll stick to producing. Yes.
Thanks for that.
Men writing erotic fiction for women.
Oh, it's been a while.
It's not going to get much better than what we just listened to now.
Fish on toast, basically.
Dead fish on toast is how I'd describe both of your stories.
All right.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
We have a prize pack to give away.
Thanks to Naughty.NZ.
If you like your adult toys,
there are about seven or 8 different products and valuing almost
800 bucks up for grabs before 7 o'clock
you just have to let us know who you
think wrote a sexier, short
erotic story.
Yeah, it's going to be a tough call this
morning boys. Oh, I don't know.
I think Clint, if
you lose this, there's something
wrong my friend. Okay, because you aren't, there's something wrong, my friend.
Okay, because you aren't backing your own story.
Oh, my goodness me.
I couldn't have been in a less sexy mood last night writing this.
Okay.
Well, I think Clint's the same because obviously it's just been depressing.
Here we go.
We're going to get into it. When you hear the ding, I have finished writing.
The boys have started writing.
We're starting off with Dan's first.
This is sexy, erotic fiction for women, written by Dan Webber.
Okay, well, I'm going to stop you before you start, Meg.
Have a little bit of grandiose in your voice.
Excuse me, I will.
Give it a chance.
I will deliver.
I will deliver.
Give it a chance.
I always do.
Here we go.
Come on.
Had it really been nine months?
No, that starts when he starts talking.
I know, but it's been a long time and you haven't started yet. Had it really been nine months, No, that starts when he starts talking. I know, but it's been a long time
and you haven't started yet.
Had it really been nine months, I thought to myself,
we're trying to count up the months since the last time
me and Tony had been intimate with each other.
Time had slipped away from us with the kids,
Tony's knee operation and the kitchen reno.
I decided after listening to The Edge, we needed
to partake in the Big Bang.
So I
said, Alexa, play Barry White. His song, Can't Get Enough
of You, Babe, started playing and almost instantly my robe fell to the floor. Instant. Almost
like magic, really. Just poof, off. Revealing my naked body, my hips already gyrating. It
was a feeling I hadn't felt in months. Pure passion.
She's got a hula hoop.
Tony was about to arrive home from work.
He was in the Navy and had been away working on a massive frigate.
Huge.
One of the biggest you've ever seen.
One of the biggest frigates in the Navy.
I'd almost forgotten what it looked like.
With my hips still moving side to side, I walked slowly.
How long was she doing that before we got home?
She's very aroused.
I know, but what if he's like 45 minutes away?
She's like, jeez, I'm knackered.
Sorry, mate, I started too early.
Clint, if you haven't had sex for nine months,
you've got to get yourself in the mood somehow.
By the way, something's going to pop.
I walk slowly to the bathroom,
but I took my time bumping and grinding on anything
I could see in the way.
She's like a rabid dog.
She hasn't had any for nine months.
Barry White comes on and she's absolutely on heat.
Couches, benches, cats. Pumping the tendons.
Okay.
I'm in here, sailor.
I said in a slurry tone.
Well, that's supposed to be sultry.
Sorry, she's not drunk.
Sultry, salty, slurry tone.
It said slurry, so I'm doing slurry.
Okay.
I'm in here,
sailor.
He appeared
almost instantly,
his body covered in sweat
after nine months at sea.
That's disgusting.
Tony needs a shower.
If you've been at sea
for nine months.
She could smell him
before she could see him.
He's going to get in the bath.
Right, it's true.
It wasn't long before
we were both in the bath
sloshing back and forth.
Ooh, I know,
a shower's fine,
but like you're both using the same water that he is in,
and he hasn't showered for almost a year.
And you'd be like, you'd literally see this oil slick,
like, moving towards you in the bath, being like, ooh, it's getting me.
Okay.
It wasn't long before in the bath sloshing back and forth,
it seemed to go on for hours.
I was a boat on the high seas
and he was my captain.
His mast,
the perfect match to my sail.
And you went,
actually this is better than I thought.
With no water left in the bath,
disturbing.
What happened?
He drank it.
This is why they need
the kitchen, Reno.
The bathroom's next, obviously.
It's bloody flooded.
No, they're sloshing back and forth.
Yeah, so where's the water gone?
Out of the bath.
Yeah.
We reached our destination.
Tony leaned over
and whispered in my ear,
thanks for letting me
ride your ship.
The pleasure is all mine.
No, she's not
lisping now.
No, you said
she was slurring.
It doesn't change it.
She's not doing that.
The pleasure is all mine,
I whispered back.
And besides,
I've always had
a thing for semen.
Oh.
Oh.
And if you're thinking that's dirty, she's meaning Navy men,
like people that are on ships.
Okay.
Jesus.
That's bad.
This is up, Neeks.
If you thought that was good, you're in for a rocky ride, Neeks.
I have been saying, yes, somebody texted me saying,
we write erotic fiction for the female gaze.
And people are saying,
yeah, but it's always male and female,
not two women.
G-A-Z-E, not G-A-Y-S.
Yes, sorry.
That does...
Female gaze, like in their perspective.
But we have done gay editions before.
Yes, we have.
We have, yeah.
Women on women, men on men.
Not for the female gaze, like G-A-Y-S. Well, that men. Not for the female gays, like G-A-Y-S.
Well, that was for the female gays.
That was for the G-A-Y-S's, the week you guys did that.
Although I feel like yours in particular, Clint,
was definitely more for the male gays.
Well, not gays, but the male.
Anyway, it's a bad word.
It's a bad word when you cut you.
It's confusing, isn't it?
It's confusing, right.
It's time for Clint's.
You just heard Dan's.
It was atrocious.
When you hear the ding, my writing finishes.
His begins. It is meantrocious. When you hear the ding, my writing finishes, his begins.
It is meant to be a sexy story, sorry, an erotic fiction
written for women to enjoy, to rile them up for the big bang.
But also, what an absolute hospital pass the way this story starts, I will say.
Yeah, oh yeah, it doesn't start sexually.
But anyway, hit the jams.
Don't tell me what to do, mister.
Daniel Weeby, you know better than that.
You're taking your time, aren't you, really?
You're a terrible...
You're killing good time.
You're a terrible...
Had it really been nine months,
I thought to myself,
while trying to count out the months
since the last time me and Tony
had been intimate with each other,
time had slipped away with us, with the kids,
Tony's knee operation in the kitchen reno.
I decided, after listening to The Edge, we needed to partake in the
Big Bang. So I
opened up the top cupboard in the bathroom,
removed the deep heat,
and made my way down the hall,
pausing in the doorway of the bedroom.
Deep heat? I looked
intently at Tony and raised my arm, switching
the TV off that hung on the wall.
Why? Sexy. Because he's watching TV. Why does it matter TV off that hung on the wall. Why? Sexy.
Oh, because he's watching TV.
Yeah, but why does it matter if it's hung on the wall or on a cabinet?
While never taking...
I guess it's a descriptive story, you dick.
I don't know.
I don't think he ripped jewels to shreds.
She stood in the doorway and then just, like, reached over and just flicked it off.
While never taking...
Do you want me to bend over and turn it off from the cabinet or something?
Yes, please.
While never taking my gaze, G-A-Z-E, off his, just not gaze.
Yeah.
While never taking my gaze off his, as if trying to devour him with my eyes.
You all right?
He asked.
I reached for the covers, pulling them off at the foot of the bed,
and ran my hands up the inside of Tony's thighs to the back of his hamstring
and elevated his leg.
Then rubbed a generous amount of deep heat around the sides and underneath his knee.
What's your physio?
It sounds like it.
Damn it!
You fucked with him.
Nine months, she's trying to do something nice for me.
She's just had a knee operation, so she's trying to reconnect.
And to me, it says it all about just P and V and penetration, Dan.
The methylated scent filled the room.
Methylated.
Yeah, thank you.
Jesus.
She's already rubbing myths all over her.
He's like, fuck.
Methylated.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry, I'm so.
Oh, my God.
Oh, sorry.
We're cooked.
Sorry, I've forgotten where I am.
We're cooked.
Sorry.
We're cooked.
I'm really sorry about that.
Let me finish this story.
Let me finish this story.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my God, that feels good, Tony.
That was so clear.
Tony exhaled in relief to my fingers
rubbing back and forth against his skin. Thank you,
baby. I really appreciate you doing that.
Oh, it's my
pleasure.
I respond slowly. My breathing
started to...
My breathing started to become more intense.
My chest rising higher.
All she's doing is touching his leg at this point.
Can I confirm that?
I'm worried about it.
It's the mentholated scent.
The mess got up her nostrils.
My chest rising higher.
My breath has desire intensified within my body. Yeah, the mess got up her nostrils.
Praying mantis?
It burns! It burns!
I quickly stopped. What's wrong?
You got deep heat all over my balls!
Oh, you are God damn it.
She hasn't washed her hands. She was just rubbing it on
his knees trying to spark into the seat.
I told you. Tony moved
faster than I've ever seen him standing in the shower
spraying his undercarriage. I stared at the
ceiling for a beat or two.
A familiar sigh escaped my lungs
and I reached for the remote and put the TV
back on. Right, and was that mounted or on a
cabinet on the wall, just out of interest?
It can happen sometimes. You're trying to spark intimacy
and something happens and she's all over.
And you think, oh well, give it
another nudge tomorrow. And sometimes you try
to write a short story. If anything we've learnt over the
last two weeks is that... Never do this again.
Okay.
No.
Stacey, Stacey, Stacey, whose was the bigger story?
Oh, they were both terrible, to be honest.
Told you.
Yeah, and I think it just gives such an insight into their own personal lives.
Yeah, agreed.
Stacey.
I'll tell you this, Stacey.
Especially how Dan's going on about how she's, you know, like, you know, humping walls and couches and things like that.
So I think, well, I think I'll have to go with Clint.
But seriously, they were both terrible.
Jeez, the one that they didn't even finish.
And Clint's the...
Incredible.
All right, Stacey.
But like Clint said, it's not about, you know, the D and the B.
It's about the process.
He was doing a good thing with that deep heat.
So the moral of the story is like injure your partner.
No, no, always wash your hands after applying deep heat
before you go anywhere near anyone near the region.
Stacey, thank you and congratulations.
Hopefully you will be finishing with the prize pack we're about to send you.
Yeah, naughty.nz if you want to check it out.
Thank you.
N-A-U-T-I, naughty.nz,
and they've got a prize pack worth almost $800
coming out to you, Stace.
Cheers, you're going to have a busy weekend.
Okay, moving on, everybody.
It's a new hour coming up.
Yep.
Are we tidying it up after seven?
Yep.
The problem is, Meg, it's a new hour,
but the same hosts.
So that is a shame.
I've been very, very
casually doing some
open homing.
It's actually, when
you are on a bit of
a budget, huge budget
at the moment in my
family, when maternity
leave is coming up
in a few months'
time, we are trying
to find things that
you can do for free
that are entertaining
for the family and
the child that also
just kill time.
And sometimes it's
nice to go look at
people's houses.
You must be desperate.
We've tried everything but
open home.
It's normally, you know, dry
and parks
get wet and it's free.
What else?
Do you put your real phone
number down because then don't the real estate agents
call you and message you and you're like,
oh, you're going to have to
try and wriggle out
of the next six calls
because you're not
actually interested
in the house.
Husband's really good
at it.
And also we are
still genuine
we are still
you know interested
enough to like look
around and be like
what's in the area?
Sure.
But I did notice
when I went to my
most recent one
there was a trampoline
and I was like
that's great.
My daughter
I asked them first
of course and I said
would you mind if my daughter goes on it?
They actually seemed really keen on it because it kind of gave a
family vibe. You know, like, there's a
cute little cat bouncing. It was always like a
paid actor moment. You're helping out other buyers.
Yes. And they want you to really
see yourself living here, and
I guess it's nothing better than
seeing your kid jump on a trampoline in the backyard. It's true. It did
actually sell it a lot more to me. I'm not even going to
lie. I was like, wow, this could be really nice.
If anything, they should have feel free to use the trampoline
and be encouraging kids to do that.
And I was saying this and I was telling you guys,
and Dan, you brought this up.
Some of the fancier ones as well have a charcuterie board.
Oh, no, they do not.
Shut up.
Oh, gorgeous.
No, they do not.
No, but that's just,
they put that, I think, on the picnic table outside
to make you feel like, wow, this could be you entertaining.
I don't think it's for you.
It's probably really old stuff.
It was in the pantry as well.
I thought it was a good place to keep it.
Yeah, genuinely, I've been to, it hasn't been many of them.
I mean, the lion's share of open homes don't have a charcuterie board.
But I think if you pay for like the premium,
like it's usually the nicer houses, they have something.
Whether it be coffee. I've been to one before
where they had a coffee cart outside and they're making coffees.
And is it free coffee? Yeah.
For anybody that comes along. So the real estate company
must think, oh, that's a nice little incentive to get people
if there's a lot of open homes in the area to go
to their one because you get a coffee start there first.
I mean, it shows the calibre of houses
I'm looking at because I've never
been to a house
that has a coffee cart
or a charcuterie
but I love the idea.
There was
at one of them though
one of the kids
that lived there
said feel free
to take one
and they left out
QBs from Woolworths
so you could take
a QB packet
and that's nice
so that was a freebie.
Yes.
Even the kids
are trying to get
out of that.
Mum's everything I can do to get us out of here?
Please, I can offer any of my toys.
Okay, well, I've never seen it.
I actually genuinely think that there'll be people out there
that go to open homes like you, Meg,
but they're not even interested in buying a house.
They just want a free lunch.
See, I've never done that.
I've always had interest, always.
Sushi.
There's sometimes sushi. They'll have like a St. Pierre's platter. There was that a free lunch. No. See, I've never done that. I've always had interest. Always. Sushi. There's sometimes sushi. They'll have
like a St. Pierre's platter.
There was that Vince Vaughn movie.
Wedding crashes. And Owen
Wilson. And yeah, wedding crashes.
And then, you know, then his mate
talks about funeral crashing. Is anyone doing
open home crashing? Where you just go to
open homes because of the perks that you get
and they just enjoy snooping through other people's
houses and having a look and getting a free coffee
and sushi? There's definitely people that are
like Meg, just perusing. They're going
for the food mainly though, because they know
that that's what... I'd also love to know what's the best
open home you've been to. I didn't know these
things existed. So maybe you're not open home crashing
but you've been to one and you're like, oh my god.
This is a hack. Why don't more open home
realtor companies do this?
Yeah, and why don't people more realise you can get...
It happens with renting too.
What?
Yeah, some of the better houses.
Like if you've got a big flat of seven, you can get a big house for that.
Yeah, and so they're also trying to entice good tenants with sushi.
To stand out amongst the crowd, some open homes,
whether they're looking for people to rent
Or buy
Will have coffee carts out the front
And like
Charcuterie boards and stuff
To make you just feel like
Oh this is nice and homely
Oh I could host here
Yeah
I mean
Beers?
Has anyone given beers?
Surely not beers
If you've got a one o'clock
Like an early Arvo
Saturday
Yeah
Help yourself to a beer from the chilli
I don't think they can serve beers Because you need a licence for that, right?
But if it's a private, if you're not selling them and it's private property,
how is that different to hosting a party?
Yeah.
I mean, there is a lot of stories that have come through over the last 24 hours
since we talked about this yesterday of different things that they're using to entice people in.
Someone texted yesterday as well, they said that there was a bouncy castle at one of them.
So it was like a family house, they were enticing
families along, so they just erected a bouncy castle.
Sometimes it happens the other way around.
Neeps was just telling me, they weren't trying to entice
you, you were trying to entice the landlord.
Yeah, well, I live in a flat
of five boys, and
it's not the most attractive to
a landlord or a real estate
agent or whatever, so we brought Yaz from the workday along, and she was like our female co-part.
And then when we went to sign the lease, they go,
hey, wasn't there a female at the viewing with you guys?
I'm seeing five boys on the list here.
What's the go with that?
Yaz would probably be the messier of them all.
Yeah, exactly.
That's why our gender-neutral names are the best.
Ashley, Cameron, Ash, Cam. You know, you're like, oh, those are guys?
Sam.
You're like, is it Samantha or is it Sam, Ashley and Cam all living with us?
Speaking of which, it's Sam, Sam right here.
Morning, Sam.
Good morning, guys.
How are you?
Good.
What was it, the open home, that you were like, wow, this is fancy?
Yeah, so I went to this open home in Christchurch
and as you guys have been saying, there was
a free coffee cart where you could just help
yourself. Yeah, and they usually
put, was it placed like out on the road?
So basically if you were just going for a walk,
you could get a free coffee.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you could grab as many as you like.
I grabbed one for myself
and one for my flatmate and
yeah, it was fantastic.
Isn't Ray White, because we've been hearing Ray White does,
that has like a Ray White coffee cart specifically for open homes?
Yeah, I can't remember what exactly the company was,
but yeah, it was wild.
It's the first time I've ever experienced that.
And Sam still remembers.
Yeah.
Did you buy that?
Did you get the rental of the house?
What's that, sorry? Did you like buy the house the house? I do. What's that, sorry?
Did you, like,
buy the house
or the rental?
No?
Nah, nah,
just go for the free.
No, just people
with the coffee beans.
Do you know what,
we're getting a Mr. Whoopie there.
Yeah.
The good thing about it
is there'd be heaps of people
that are just coming
for the coffee,
which is actually fine
because it makes it look like
there's lots of interest
in the house.
And there might only be
two interested buyers there,
but they're like, oh, God, we'd better get in.
We've got to put in a good offer because look how many people are here.
All right, let's go to Sarah.
Sarah is the first-time caller.
For the first time in forever.
Hello, stranger.
For the first time.
Morning, Sarah, for the first time.
Hi.
How are you?
Good, how are you going?
Yeah, doing well.
And so what happened to you?
You went to an open home.
Why was it bougie?
What was the best fun?
Yeah, we went to an open home
and they had mimosas
and these little individual cups of charcuterie board.
So it had cheese, crackers, grapes.
Individual cups that you could walk around with.
Oh my God, it's like a party bag.
Yeah, so you could take it and walk it around.
Wow.
It's pretty good.
Is it a real like fancy, like expensive house
or are they just doing them everywhere now?
No, I would say it's just your standard house in Wellington.
So yeah, it was unexpected.
And I think it was only like 10.30 or 11 o'clock in the morning.
So I was like, yeah, good time for a mimosa.
What I'd do is memorise who that agent was,
because that must be their thing, you know, that real estate agent.
And then I just go to every open home that they had
for a little bit of morning tea every Saturday.
Sorry, aren't you, Dan?
I'm still in the market.
I thought you weren't looking over.
You were in Christchurch yesterday.
I'm not going to a different city for a charcuterie board.
Sarah, do you live there now?
No, we didn't buy that.
A lot of people just taking the cheese and coffee.
Rod has texted saying it was Barfoot's.
Barfoot's have the coffee cart normally at auctions.
So go along.
Don't raise your hand.
Don't scratch.
Don't itch.
Don't change your hair.
Just sit on your hands.
Unless someone goes, who wants the flat white?
And you go, yeah.
Sold.
$2.6 million to the man with the flat white.
Today's the day, the big bang. Our great relationship was in a dead fish place.
Life was busy.
Sex had vanished.
Was it actually over?
Wait.
The edge began to scheme.
The studio began to steam.
Clint, Meg and Dan said, hey, then why not six for all?
Let's have an orgasm.
You, me and your mum and the guy that lives next door to me,
we're all gonna have a big bang.
All right, so we are all in.
We all just assumed we were in, but then we thought,
ah, we should actually call our partners and make sure.
Yeah, they're the most important people in our lives,
unless we've got a mistress somewhere, Clint.
Well, on Monday, we called Meg's husband, Guy.
It rang, and this was the first word.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. That was it. Now, are. It rang and this was the first word. Yep. Yeah.
Yeah, that was it.
Now, are you saying yep as in answering the phone
or are you just answering our question, yep?
Both.
Brilliant.
Yeah.
And I missed your chat with your wife, Hannah, Dan,
and whether she was keen yesterday.
Yeah, well, I'd said I hadn't even mentioned it, but she lied.
Look, Meg, you say I haven't heard a bit.
Yeah.
Dan has mentioned it every single day lied. Look, Meg, you say I haven't heard a bit. Yeah.
Dan has mentioned it every single day.
Every day.
For you.
You.
I wouldn't have said.
Pathetic.
I have not mentioned it once.
I believe Hannah over you.
So he's brought it up to be like,
oh, babe, we've got this Big Bang thing to do.
I haven't.
Hannah, when have I mentioned it?
Every day.
I wouldn't have said so.
So anyway,
that's the sort of thing
that she just stitches me up.
She thinks she's funny.
Okay.
That was hilarious.
She is funny.
I think my wife listens
to our show a lot
so I'm sure she knows about it
but we've never actually talked
about whether we were
locking it in.
It's not in the calendar.
The way you talk, I think every day is a big bang for you, isn't it?
I don't know.
You've been talking to her.
I'll see what she says anyway.
Yeah.
See if she's in.
Hopefully.
She's going to answer.
Hello, Jamie speaking.
Hey, babe.
It's me, Meg and Dan.
Hi.
Good morning.
Hello.
Good morning. Good. Good morning.
Good to see you.
What are you doing?
I'm currently at the hospital.
Just on the way to visit my grandma,
taking her a little smoothie and some, you know,
tweezers to make her feel better about not having as many chin hairs.
Oh, that's nice.
Oh, that's lovely.
You're so great.
Yeah, this is...
So it's for a very...
I'll let you do it, Clint.
Are we on for tonight?
Yeah.
Oh, there you go.
Do you know what's happening?
It's like a no-brainer.
We haven't talked about it, but I just assumed that...
Although it's Shark Week, so...
Jeez!
Goodness me.
Okay.
Yes.
You're going to have a creative night.
Yeah.
Didn't know you guys had Sky.
Oh, yeah.
Didn't either.
Nat Geo's still doing that, are they?
Got nothing to do with what we're doing.
Thank you for that.
We normally watch National Geographic on a Wednesday.
You're right.
That's all right.
We can skip it this one time.
So locked in.
That's it.
I will tell Grandma I said hi.
Okay.
Bye, babe.
Love you.
See you, Jamie.
Bye.
Love you. Okay. All right, babe. Love you. See you, Jamie. Bye. Love you.
Bye.
So.
Why are you paying Jaws?
Oh, I see.
It's that week.
Clearly.
God, your brain.
Sometimes.
Oh, I'm just going through Dan's Google history.
You'll be shocked at what his brain has been like this week.
I think something's going on.
You need to go to the doctor.
Really?
Just watching how your brain works, yeah.
I'm looking to it.
But I'm very happy for you, Clint.
Do you know that game?
Sometimes I look at Dan,
I imagine this is what's happening inside his brain.
Was it called Pong?
Where it had like two paddles, top and bottom,
and there's just a ball that bounced around the screen.
You just move the paddles,
and it's just one ball just bouncing around inside the space.
Yeah, there's not two paddles,
I'm just hitting it against one wall.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Would you give your phone to your mates to let them go rifling through your Google search history
and then tell the country what you've been searching?
Dan does that every week.
Yeah, thankfully.
So let's get into Dan's Google history.
What's in Dan's Google history?
Is it sexy?
Is it weird?
Will it solve a great big mystery? Or just something new with you? A bit of a running theme with this week, Dan.
As best as you can, I would like you to stay quiet between these
because there's a lot to get through.
What if I need to defend myself?
You can put your hand up.
Okay.
Okay, because I feel like there's going to be...
Not yet, put it down.
There's going to be...
It's just...
These are all consecutive, Clint.
So these are Googled one after each other.
Okay.
Which I just think it's amazing where his brain goes.
It's fascinating.
Here we go.
We start off with rug doctor.
Then we go, why can I smell ants?
Oh, yeah, because...
Hand up.
Yeah, you've got... Well, we're going to... We up. Yeah, you've got...
Well, we're going to...
We'll figure out very quickly you've got ants, Dan.
Don't worry about that.
It's just a new house and there's a bit of an issue.
Why can I smell ants?
Next.
Ant exterminator.
Next.
Pest control.
Next.
Fly spray.
Next, Google.
Spray ants to kill them.
Next, Google.
Where do ants nest? Next, Google. Spray ants to kill them. Next Google.
Where do ants nest?
Next Google.
How to find a queen.
Next Google.
Ants, do they like sugar?
Yes, of course they do.
Next Google.
Ants, do they like cat food?
Yes to both.
Next Google.
What don't ants like?
Because I was trying to get rid of it.
Next, Google, vinegar.
I realise you spelt it wrong.
Next, Google, vinegar.
Spelt it right.
Then you Googled, how much vinegar to pour on ants?
Why does vinegar smell bad?
And your last Google was rug doctor.
To do with ants.
That was your next one up.
No, because I put some vinegar on the carpet and then Hannah came home and said,
what's that smell?
Why does it smell like vinegar?
And I said, I put some vinegar on the carpet.
And she's like, you're going to have to clean that up.
Yes, you need to get a rug doctor by the end of it.
Now the bizarre thing is, Clint,
after all that big night, right?
Big night for our Dan.
The next thing he Googled was box gap world record.
What's in Dan's Google history?
Is it sexy?
Is it weird?
Will it solve a great big mystery?
Or just something new?
And you'd be pleased to know, Clint, it hasn't been achieved yet.
So is there something new?
What, like a box gap between thighs?
Between thighs, like a woman's box gap.
Yeah.
What do you mean it hasn't been achieved?
What do you mean?
Well, there's no world record for it.
You want Clint to have it?
I don't know.
He likes achieving world records.
Oh, he's not got that thin of legs.
I don't think I have a box gap.
I saw on a website, there was this thing,
and the headline was, I think it was on stuff.co.nz.
Really?
Biggest box gap.
Sounds like the hub, not stuff. No, it was an above on stuff.co.nz. Really? Biggest box gap. Sounds like the hub, not stuff.
No, it was an above board website.
Really?
I don't know.
It was like the return of the box gap or something
and it was saying that now it's back in again
and girls are trying to achieve the biggest box gap.
And I was like,
I wonder if there is a record for that.
Right.
Is that the same as the Toblerone?
Pardon?
Yeah, the Toblerone thing.
Like a little triangle at the top of your thighs.
Yeah.
Oh, cool.
So do you want to champion the box gap world record?
No, I don't think it is possible.
So I was just Googling it.
That's the thing.
I don't know.
How does that look as a show, Meg?
I mean, our faces are on the billboard as well.
We were trying to find women who have the largest box gap between thighs.
I'll quit before we do that.
Yeah, okay, cool.
I promise you that would be my final day.
If I came into a meeting with my six other boys,
and they said, Meg, we've got something brilliant.
We're going to find the biggest box gap with women.
I'd be like, see you later, boys.
I'm out.
That's my cue.
I was more of a meaning that Clint tries to achieve it.
But hey, if you want to go that way, we can.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
The big bang going down tonight.
A great relationship was in a dead fish place.
Life was busy.
Sex had vanished.
Was it actually over?
Wait.
The edge began to scheme.
The studio began to steam.
Clint, Meg and Dan said, hey, then why not sex for all?
Let's have an orgasm.
You, me and your mom and the guy that lives next door to me.
We're all going to have a big bang. It's different when you have a holistic sex and relationship coach.
Melissa Vrangi sitting in studio with us listening to that for the first time.
Yeah, good morning.
It's a lot, isn't it?
It is.
Yeah, yeah, it's a lot.
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
Yeah, yeah.
Explain to us what you do.
So essentially you're a sexologist.
I'm working with mostly women around their sex life
and wanting to have better connection, sex, relationship.
So this all stemmed, by the way, from somebody messaging me or in our DM
saying that they're in a very loving, happy, long-term relationship with their husband
and they have found from having kids that sex has been put on the back burner
so much so that it got to a point of almost awkwardness to bring it back.
But it wasn't an unhappy relationship
and she didn't know how to take that next step again
because it felt like they didn't know how to reopen that door.
Would you find, from what we've found at least,
that a lot of people are in the same sort of boat?
A hundred percent. Absolutely.
I think every workshop I do,
every space that I'm in, that is the same question that keeps coming up over and over again. So normal. And I want people to know that, that if you are here, it's okay. You know, it's a season
and a phase of your life and you can move through that. And how do you move through that? Because
I'd imagine there's not one silver bullet for every relationship's different. Yeah, absolutely. And I think it all depends as well. So let's just go for one example.
The thing that I always come back to, it's an opportunity to go, babe, I want to find out more
about you. Tell me what you like in the bedroom. Tell me what you enjoy in the bedroom and like
connecting in that way through your desires and wants and needs. It's almost like
how can we bring in what
I call sexual currency
which is the passionate kissing
the slow touches, the bum squeezes
that make you see each other
as sexual people again.
That for me is the
absolute start after a conversation.
Yeah and so that's why we're wondering if the Big Bang
is something we've been leaning up to for the last of weeks. Now you're like, great, here's
an opportunity for us to get our sex life back on track. But it also maybe comes with a lot of
pressure if it's been a long time. So how do you navigate the excitement of wanting to kickstart
your intimacy, but also the pressure that comes with tonight being the night? What about if
tonight's the night that you talk about your turn ons and offs? What about if tonight is the night that you talk about your turn-ons and offs? What about tonight is the night that you just map
each other's body and pleasure map
it? So there's no like inserting
or penetrating or, you know, it's
like actually making what is
the big bang for you
and your partner and talking about that,
being like, babe, I'm listening to the edge.
What could we make of it together?
Because sex is a collaboration always.
There are women out there that have probably not even having good sex to completion
because they're too nervous after years and years to say,
that doesn't work for me, I don't like that.
When you do that, even though you think it's awesome, it's not for me.
How do you start that conversation without hurting feelings of your wonderful partner?
Absolutely.
That they're not doing it right.
Totally.
I wouldn't even talk about that thing.
I would go into what I'm going to come back to again
is the turn on and off sheets.
Get a piece of paper, draw a line down the middle,
turn on, turn off, write down everything that turns you on
all through your senses, through your thoughts and imagination,
your environment and what turns you off.
And that turn off section is like, babe, these are the things that turn me off.
Yeah?
So if you feel...
Because he's smart enough, indirectly, you should be like, I did that.
You're already going, jeez.
Are we doing missionary every time?
Every time I'm doing that third and fourth and fifth turn off.
And then, you know, that's something you can laugh about being like, oh, God.
A morning breath turns you off. Like, what happens in the morning? It's like, well, you know, that's something you can laugh about being like, oh, God. A morning breath turns you off.
Like, what happens in the morning?
It's like, well, you know.
So it's just like, actually, it doesn't have to be serious.
It can just be about exploring.
And are you playing like match up where you go turn on and you're like, oh, look at that turn on.
It matches.
That sort of thing.
Is that?
I mean, I guess you could.
You totally could.
I don't do that.
But you absolutely could.
I wouldn't do that, Meg. As an could. I don't do that, but you absolutely could. I wouldn't do that, Meg.
As an expert, I wouldn't do that.
All right, cool.
Well, if you'd like to chat with Melissa
or you've got a question in regards to the Big Bang
or even your sex life, give us a call.
0800 THE EDGE.
We'll take a quick break and we'll, I guess,
try and rinse your brain with some more free advice.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
Special guests in studio with us still.
Melissa Varangie is in studio with us at the moment,
holistic sex and relationship coach,
with the Big Bang happening tonight.
She's given us all the tips and tricks and things to maybe consider
if you have been on the fence the last couple of weeks
about whether you'll participate in the Big Bang or not.
If you've got any questions, 0800 THE EDGE.
First quick text,
and I think I'm probably going to know the answer to this.
My partner and I haven't had sex in about eight months.
I don't even know how to break the ice.
What would be your suggestion for us?
Okay, you said you knew the answer.
Well, we sort of kind of...
No, go on, Dan.
No, we touched on it before,
and you said write a list.
Like, start with...
Don't even go into
like penetrative stuff
or even sexual stuff.
Oh, Dan is sexologist.
Here we go.
I love it.
But I don't want to
put words in your mouth.
It's different when you
say the P word, Dan.
I shouldn't say it,
should I?
But yeah,
if they missed that first break
it was running a list.
Yeah, running a list.
Having a conversation.
What do you want from sex?
Connection, closeness.
You know, a lot of people think it's just about getting off
and actually when we strip it back,
it's about connection and closeness.
How can we start to bring in connection and closeness
before we even have the sex?
Say, okay, say we're in a relationship.
I'm the guy and we haven't had sex in eight months, Melissa.
What are your first words to start that convo? You know to break that awkwardness is it like let's talk about sex like
what is that yeah I think it's but sometimes it's easier to use something so it would be like hey
I've been listening to the edge and they've been talking about this and it's got me curious about
what you are experiencing right now with our sex life because And it's kind of saying, this feels really vulnerable for me,
but I think we should talk about it.
How does that feel for you instead of diving into problems?
Yeah.
Okay, we have Amy who's got a fake name.
What is your question for Melissa?
Hi there.
I recently just had my first child and I've had a few birth complications.
So I'm currently not in the
position with my partner where we're going to be able to have sex for probably a wee
while until things are operational again. So I guess I just wanted some advice or notes
on some things that could be like intimacy builders for us.
First thing I think of straight away is redefining your definition of sex. Because sex isn't just PMV.
You know, sex is the touching.
It's the, like, massaging.
It's the passionate kissing.
It's the bum massages, you know?
So it's like, okay, how can we come back into intimately connecting with one another?
What would that look like?
Yeah.
Thanks, Amy.
And one more text.
Sorry if we haven't had time to come through
to all of your texts
because there's so many
coming through,
but I'll just get to this one
because this one's interesting.
My wife and I
have different libidos.
Always have,
except for the first part
of the month
of our relationship,
we were fine.
There's a great analogy
if I have time to share this.
I'll do it really quickly.
Your friend invites you out
and you're going to a party,
yeah?
And you're like,
yeah, great idea.
I haven't been to a party
in ages.
Let's do this.
And then it comes to the time you're like, oh, I've got to get childcare.
I've got to get, oh, I can't involve.
It's a Friday night.
You know, we've all been there.
And then you're like, okay, I'm going to put on some tunes.
I'm going to do my make-out, put on the drink.
Yeah, I'm starting to feel good.
And then you rock up to the party.
You have a drink and you're like, oh, this is actually really fun.
Yeah.
And then you end up being like, we should do this more often.
I love this.
Yeah.
And it's like sex, sometimes it takes a runway to get to that point of like,
this is great.
We should do this more often.
And it's just understanding that that runway is acceptable, normal, and okay.
I think a lot of it has to do with movies and stuff.
Like you watch movies and they're just straight into it.
Yeah.
Not even any prep, you know, like, he'll open the door.
Prep.
They're, like, straight, like, rip their clothes off and they're straight into it.
That doesn't happen in real life.
They might have had four episodes to build up to that.
Yeah.
Okay, so then, I guess, last question.
Are you in on the Big Bang yourself, Melissa?
Absolutely.
Okay.
Any opportunity.
Yeah, exactly.
Love that. All right. Well, if you'd like to come together
with the rest of the country to reignite the spark
in your relationship, tonight is the night.
Best of luck with whatever that looks like for you.
And Melissa, thank you so much for coming in and chatting with us.
Thank you, guys.
Clint, Megan, Dan. Let's go!
With a share of $50,000.
Cash. With the edge.
Cash trapped. Trapped. Alright,000. Cash. With the edge. Cash strapped.
Strapped.
Strapped.
All right, everyone's strapped to cash,
including us at the edge,
but maybe not in the way you think.
Friday, if you're at the North Ground in Dunedin at 8 o'clock
and you win the three-legged race,
you'll leave with $3,000.
Whoa.
But right now,
right now,
we have Dan strapped with a mystery cash amount
in studio.
All over my body.
It's been like this for weeks.
Clara's the lucky person that's able to play this morning.
Hi, Clara.
Good morning.
Clara, what do you need money for?
So my hot water cylinder broke down over the weekend,
so we're just needing to replace that.
Oh, yeah, that can be expensive.
I'd imagine a hot water cylinder.
What sort of money are you after?
I've had a look at it,
and it's around $2,000 starting price,
but, yeah.
Oh, you poor thing.
So no matter what you end up getting today,
it's all just going to go to a boring fix,
but a necessity.
Unfortunately.
Yeah.
I think it's pretty exciting.
It's not exciting to get a new hot water cylinder.
It just means your water's hot again.
It's a hot air.
That would be the most amount of money we've ever given away, I think,
with me or you, Dan.
Dan's had three grandstrapped him before,
but unfortunately they just didn't go for it.
They didn't go for it.
Well, I definitely don't have that amount of money, Clara,
but I'll give you a decent chunk this morning towards $500.
Okay.
That's the most amount of money I think I've offered in maybe a month.
Yeah, that is a
very generous offer. Yeah, yeah. And Dan,
I wasn't here yesterday, but Dan had $18.
Is that right? Yesterday, yeah.
Yeah. But then you've got to
ask yourself, Clara, the question, will
it be a small
amount strapped to me again today?
I don't know.
I don't know.
And if Meg's offering $500, how much has Dan got?
Because typically you do have more,
but who knows, you might be turning down a great offer
and walk away disappointed.
That's the risk you're going to take.
What are you going to do, Clara?
Are you going to go with Meg's generous offer of $500
or risk that money and go with what's strapped to me?
Nobody would risk $500 if it was offered to them
in any other situation.
In their hand.
What do you guys think?
I think take my money.
Yeah, me would think that.
I would say maybe risk it
if you can afford it.
But then again, Clara,
I do not know
what I've got strapped to me.
That's how it works.
Do you look at it this way?
What would you be
more disappointed by?
Dan offering you $50
or would you be
more disappointed
if you found out
Dan had $1,500 and you took $5?
Probably
later because I do
out risk it.
Okay, you're going to what?
I'm going to risk it. Okay, we go
with the cash trip to Dan.
$500.
$500.
It's an interesting choice
because it's one of the highest amounts that Meg has ever offered.
I think it might be the highest, actually, if I'm being honest.
All right.
Let's see what I've got strapped to you.
Clara.
She wants a hot water cylinder.
He's got his head in his hands.
It's not looking good.
How big's your jug at home?
The kettle.
Not big. Yeah. He's got his head in his hands. It's not looking good. How big's your jug at home? On the kettle? Mm.
Oh, not big.
Yeah, because you're going to have to boil that to heat the water a bit longer
because I'm only giving you $230.
I'm happy with that, thank you.
Happy with that.
Thank me.
You lost half of it or just over, but I mean, still,
$230 richer than you were, I suppose, before you called up.
I mean, that's the thing.
Sometimes you roll the dice
and it's going to come back.
You get so annoyed that they're like,
no, and then Dan gives them less
and they go, thank you, that's awesome.
Yeah.
I think we're just built differently
because when you said that thing of like,
would you be more angry that you lost $500
or more angry that if Dan had more money,
I would always be more angry that I lost $500.
Lost money than you could have made more.
Could have made more, yeah.
But that's just, I guess.
It's just that tempting thing of going, shit, I could have the whole hot water cylinder paid for here.
Yeah, it's like an all or nothing type scenario.
You're only here once.
You're like, oh, I'm just going to go for it.
Sorry, Clara, but that's just the way it happens.
All right.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Spooky bit. Go for it. Sorry, Clara, but that's just the way it happens. All right. Clint, Meg and Dan. Pinky Boop.
The Big Bang is happening around the country tonight
as everyone comes together and reignites the spark in their relationship.
Who's participating?
Who's excited about the day?
0800 there, you can text us on 3343.
Turns out a lot of people, Meg,
a lot of people texting through on the text machine
saying either they're partaking tonight
or they've already done the deed, so to speak.
What about this?
I'm 35 weeks pregnant.
Husband and I are going to give it a go.
Give the big bang a go, they say.
Bloody hell.
You've got to get creative with positions at that point,
I tell you what, Tim.
My partner and I are in, we won't share names, even though sometimes we see them.
My partner and I are in, it says, we're in Christchurch, but we live with his nana.
Oh, now that's tricky.
Maybe they need a hotel room.
You'd have to get to Queenstown or something, though.
What's Nana's hearing like, though?
I was going to say, take her hearing aids out, hide them for the night.
You know how they take them out.
They don't sleep with them in.
I think it's more depending
if the house is on some sort of shaky ground.
It's more the movement, right?
Bloody, if you're shaking the house,
goodness me, poor grandma.
Poor nana.
She's like, oh, Christ,
it might just be triggering.
Right, let's go to Charmaine.
Hey, Charmaine.
Hello.
Hey, you in tonight with the Big Bang?
We're in. You're in. Hello. Hey, you in tonight with the Big Bang? We're in.
You're in.
Hey, nice.
Good to hear.
Okay.
That's just a solid in.
What about Michelle?
Hi.
Hey, Michelle.
What are you thinking?
What are your thoughts around the Big Bang tonight?
Oh, I'd love to.
Would you?
Love to join in.
Are you a couple that you don't mind me asking, that connects often?
Or is this a good excuse for you to kind of get back into it?
Oh, it's a real good excuse to get into it.
Back into it.
In a while.
Love that, Michelle.
Love that for you guys.
Yeah, exciting.
Have a good time.
All right.
Jeremy, you've got some kids that you maybe need to get away from.
I sure do.
I'm totally in.
Oh, you're totally in.
Wait, how many kids you got?
Two, but they wake up through the night,
so it feels like I've got more than two kids.
Yeah, I know what that's like.
Have you got a babysitter, though, available?
Oh, we can arrange something.
Okay.
Yeah, okay.
Good on you, Jeremy.
Amber's also in tonight for the Big Bang.
Amber?
Hi. Hi. You're in me? Amber's also in tonight for the Big Bang. Amber? Hi.
Hi.
Yeah.
You're in?
We are.
Oh, we're gay.
We are.
From what it seems like, there's a lot of people now that are kind of going,
you know what, I was thinking about doing it,
now we're actually doing it.
The day's here.
And the power of numbers, eh?
Or confidence in numbers.
If you know anyone else who's given a nudge.
What about Rick? Yeah, I hear Rick is definitely in. In confidence in numbers, if you know everyone else is giving a nudge. What about Rick?
Yep, I hear Rick is definitely in.
In fact, Rick, have you already ticked it off?
Is that right? I have.
I was lucky enough this morning, yep.
Wow! Was that your idea? Was that like
a, hey, babe?
I think it was a joint idea, yeah.
Nice! New relationship.
I had to leave at six, so, you know,
we didn't have much time, but we got there.
It's baffling.
Like, crazy to me how many people, like, pre-6 a.m.
Yeah.
Just, like, starting their day with it like it's a coffee.
Good on you.
You know what, Rick?
I don't think I have ever done it that early.
Slick Rick.
What?
I have never.
Just never.
Well, maybe tomorrow morning's the morning, Dan.
Oh, but the big bag's over by then.
Wow, another one.
You had a celebration at 3 a.m. this morning,
and we're going again tonight.
I love this.
Good for you.
Joanne, you were in?
Yeah, we're in.
Well, Joanne, where in the country are you?
We're in Auckland.
Okay, have you got kids?
We have two kids, yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Could you sneak away tonight and get a babysitter if we hooked you up with a night's accommodation
in town somewhere?
In a hotel?
Absolutely.
We will find anybody that we can.
Anybody?
I would like you to have your children to be safe.
Please don't just find anyone.
We will be any of our friends and the grandparents to babysit.
Yeah, good.
Okay.
All right, Joanne, we're going to sort you out.
We're going to sort you out with a staycation night away from the kids
so you can celebrate the Big Bang tonight.
Congratulations.
Yeah, if anybody's available.
Thank you so much.
You're very welcome.
Babysit Joanne's kids.
Yeah, anybody.
Anybody at all.
Anybody.
Anybody can.
Love that.
Oh, good.
That's exciting.
All right, well, looking forward to finding out
if it's something that actually is, I guess,
a new thing that people can, or you can get on a new track,
you know, if you've sort of, like, been in that rut
for a while, or it's been really a long dry spell,
and this might be the kickstart.
Someone's saying there may be some large antenatal classes
towards the end of this year because of this.
A baby boom.
A baby boom. Wow. Yeah, they go back to
April 9th, 2025.
What happened on that day?
We've been giving you the chance
to give someone in your life a wonderful Wednesday
over the last probably five or six weeks
thanks to New World and we had a bit
of a covert mission
the other day and surprised Abby along with the help from her mum,
Catherine, who was in on the whole thing.
Weren't they the loveliest pair?
Oh, they were lovely.
What a great mum and daughter.
So imagine you're just having like a normal,
what you think is a normal day.
You're just going about your business,
but then there are all these things
that are just coincidentally happening to you
throughout the morning
just to give you a wonderful day and you have no idea why coincidentally they just keep on happening to you throughout the morning just to give you a wonderful day
and you have no idea why, coincidentally,
they just keep on happening to you?
And it was up to us, the three of us,
think of that, to make sure it ran smoothly.
Yeah, Dan had a walkie-talkie.
He was extremely excited about it.
And an earpiece.
He got very angry at us one time,
maybe because I was like, whoa, whoa, Dan.
Yeah, power trip, power trip.
I was trying to organise it.
They gave me the walkie-talkie,
which meant I was in charge. I think Dan was nervous because he knew he had to sing. Here we whoa, Dan. Yeah, power trip, power trip. I was trying to organise it. I was honestly, they gave me the walkie-talkie, which meant I was in charge.
I think Dan was nervous because he knew he had to sing.
Here we go, guys.
You can dance.
You can dance.
Why does he think that that would make Abby's morning wonderful?
Because she liked Abba.
I didn't just pick it out of thin air.
I know, I was about to say.
But you were singing it.
I still don't think.
Well, I wasn't going to sing Michael Jackson, was I?
No, you didn't need to sing anything But you were singing it. I still don't think. Well, I wasn't going to sing Michael Jackson, was I? You didn't sing anything.
It's weird.
I let you drive around my mind.
I can't count the times you made me feel like I'm nothing.
Played me like a fool, like a fool.
Say you drink another whiskey, pop another pill.
Money makes you happy.
Heaven isn't real.
You won't find nobody to love because your heart's too broke.
Now I know you ain't nothing but a liar.
Yeah, I walk right out the fire.
Yeah, you try to keep me down, try to put me underground, but I'm only going higher.
I can hear you in my head, in my bed when I'm dreaming.
You try to be my friend, but you're blowing slow. Oh, and now I ain't scared of telling you where you can go.
Cause I know you're nothing but a lie.
You burn me one too many times.
Like a devil in disguise, hiding your true colors.
Just leave me alone.
Keep leading me on.
Say you drank another whiskey, pop another pill.
Money makes you happy.
Heaven isn't real.
You won't find nobody to love because your heart's too broke.
Now I know you ain't nothing but a liar
Yeah, I walk right out the fire
Yeah, you try to keep me down
Try to put me on the ground
But I'm only going higher
I can hear you in my head
In my bed when I'm dreaming
You try to be my friend But you're blowing slow I can hear you in my head, my bed when I'm dreaming.
You try to be my friend, but you're blowing slow.
Oh, and now I ain't scared of telling you where you can go.
Cause I poisoned you
You're nothing but a liar
Yeah, I walk right out the fire
Yeah, you try to keep me down
Try to put me underground
But I'm only going higher
I can hear you in my head
In my bed when I'm dreaming
You try to be my friend
But you're blowing smoke.
Oh, and now I ain't scared of telling you where you can go.
Because I know you're nothing but a lie.
Jelly Roll, it's Lya, Clint, Meg and Dan, 25 to 9.
Hey, ain't life wonderful?
We've been
giving you the chance to nominate someone in your life
for the wonderful Wednesday. Thanks to New World.
And that is what
Catherine, the mum of Abby,
helped us do just last week.
She did indeed. She thought
her daughter deserved a bit of a
nice morning. Apparently had a bit of a rough
time and she's just a great girl.
She really is quite a social butterfly.
She's right into doing charcuterie boards, having a few laughs,
just being treated and being made to feel special.
I was actually really, really shocked that we got chosen for this.
She's had a pretty rough time over the past couple of years, health-wise.
She really deserves it.
Yeah, so it was up to the three of us to try to be as inconspicuous as possible, which
isn't a word that generally people use with the three of us.
Yeah, and I tell you what, we got there and obviously they thought I was the guy that
should be in charge of directing everything because they gave me an earpiece and a walkie-talkie
and didn't give you guys anything.
No, and then Meg, I tried to be a method actor, so I'm supposed to be having this picnic basket and all of a sudden my plans
have changed and I'm going, hey guys,
someone may as well enjoy this. And so
I'm eating the grapes because, and I'm
getting in trouble, but I'm like, if it was my picnic basket
I would... You'd be eating the grapes. Exactly.
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I know, and they should
have just left us to it. Yeah, there was a makeup
store where I was doing makeup trials
on people and
I don't know if she was meant to know it was me or not
but instantly she said
Meg, what are you working at Year World for?
You're not going to miss Meg Manson.
Oh my god.
What's a celebrity doing in Year World?
Okay, so this is how it went down.
Dan, I think, definitely drew the short straw.
Guys, she's upset now. This is my
time to shine. You're a bit
spoiled, aren't you?
I'm going to wipe this wire off my back.
Oh, my God.
How cute is that?
That's so cute.
Have a wonderful picnic for New World and The Edge.
Oh, my goodness.
It's Dan.
If Dan comes up singing, she will join in with him.
Absolutely.
She has no shame. So, Dan, it turns out she liked karaoke and she will join in with him. Absolutely. She has no shame.
So Dan, turns out she liked karaoke and she was a big fan of ABBA.
And so Dan was the third chink in the chain.
Yeah, and the problem is I don't know ABBA at all.
It's like right down my list of favourites.
So I had to quickly learn Dancing Queen by ABBA.
I feel like everyone knows Dancing Queen though, Dan.
Yeah, the star.
Yeah, the beginning.
Dan was in charge of bringing it all home. Yeah, can I just say I was a bit off pitch. Here we go, Dan. Yeah, the start. Yeah, the beginning. Dan was in charge of bringing it all home. Yeah, can I just say
I was a bit off pitch. Here we go, guys.
You can dance.
You can
jack. Having
the time of your life.
Woo!
See that girl.
Watch that sing.
Singing the Dancing Queen.
How are you?
Good.
When do we come in?
Now.
You're meant to be the singer.
I know, and I want to just apologise to New World and my family
for some of that singing there.
But apart from that, I think it all went down very, very well.
Abby was so lovely.
Yeah, she was.
And her mum was awesome as well, so they got to enjoy their picnic.
And then one last surprise when she was. And her mum was awesome as well, so they got to enjoy their picnic. And then one last surprise
when she was hit with a giant billboard
wishing her specifically a wonderful Wednesday.
She wasn't hit by the billboard.
No, no.
You made it sound like it was quite a lot.
But she saw it.
That's actually so cool.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, yeah, I'm on a billboard, baby.
Thank you.
If you want to check out the video
and see if we were as inconspicuous as we have made out,
you can text the word wonderful to 3343
or head to the Air Gen Z on Insta.
Yeah, so well-deserved.
And we actually, New Zealand is such a small world.
We were, they, Abby is a neutral friend of one of my best friends.
Oh, that sounds like it was rigged.
Oh, okay.
Oh, Abby's on with us.
Abby, were some people, if they're calling foul,
that Dan had jeeted up for you to win specifically?
Not a chance.
I'd never met Abby before in my life,
but we were talking and they were like,
you guys, Dad, you know my friend Michael.
You there, Abby?
Oh, hello.
Yes, good morning.
There she is.
No, it definitely was a surprise.
It was not rigged, everybody.
Definitely not.
They don't listen to me even if I try to rig it, unfortunately.
That's true.
You were a great winner, Abby.
You were.
Have you had a
bit of a go
on the karaoke machine since?
I think
my flatmates
are now sick
of hearing my voice
Yeah
Yeah
Fair enough
That sort of karaoke
Should have really

A big congratulations to Miss Rachel.
She just had a baby.
Oh, Miss Rachel.
Oh, the TV host for Chickens.
Hi.
Hello.
Peek-a-boo. Yeah, Miss Rachel has just done a post six hours ago. Hi. Hello.
Peekaboo.
Yeah, Miss Rachel has just done a post six hours ago saying we welcome sweet baby Susanna into the world.
We're so in love.
Sometimes timing isn't what you plan
and the road to get there is bumpier than you expect.
But when you hold your little ones,
you know I'm meant to be your mama.
I was unable to carry this pregnancy due to medical reasons
and we were blessed to have a surrogate which gave us our gift.
That's what I mean of surprise of like we
didn't know she was pregnant.
Has she had kids before?
She didn't say at first. I don't know.
I thought she, I would assume she
had kids because she feels like a mum
but it's not. She's like a TV, like
a kids TV host. Dan, she's the one you think's
hot, eh?
Do you have a crush on her?
Look, I put her on once
for, because I've got
a young one-year-old,
and I was just, yeah.
And then George didn't care
and walked off
and you watched, like,
a whole season.
I may have left her on
for a little bit.
But, I mean, look,
I think the thing I like about her
is she's just so lovely.
You know, like,
she just talks to you like like she really cares about you.
Didn't she inspire you to want to do like a kids TV, like YouTube channel?
What happened to that?
You did like one ep.
Well, it's actually harder than it seems.
Yeah, funny to happen.
Yeah, you have to have a lot of energy.
And I mean, if you've got the energy and the time to do it, she's so rich.
So rich.
And let's get into Ed Sheeran.
So this man on TikTok,
this guy on TikTok,
he's called
Zachary Swiftologist
or the Swiftologist
and he does,
I guess,
reviews on silly
breadies and people.
There are some things
that he said before
that I really agree with.
You would agree on his thoughts
about Chapel Rome, Dan.
Okay.
I'll just leave that with you.
He talked about Ed Sheeran
and he did a two minute TikTok video. This is one clip from it. I already just leave that with you. He talked about Ed Sheeran, and he did a two-minute TikTok video.
This is one clip from it.
I already know that this song is going to be terrorizing
the people of grocery stores worldwide.
What is it with Ed Sheeran and grocery stores?
They have, like, a blood pact that they will play his songs forever,
and we will never be free of them.
He also went on to say this about Ed Sheeran's latest track, As Is Him.
Just from what I know about his writing
process, the way that he writes songs, with the
specific intention for them to be hits,
he is soulless. I think
actually that AI was trained on
Ed Sheeran's songs because they are not
created by people. It's also the same
thing every single time. Shivers,
Bad Habits, Shape of You are
all the same song and they are all so
annoying. Ed Sheeran is literally
terrorising me. He's terrorising the music industry.
We should be punishing him.
So Ed Sheeran saw that video and
just commented lol
underneath it, which I thought was
hilarious for the way that at least Zachary,
you know when you have a celebrity, suddenly they
change their tune normally when a celebrity
appears that they were talking about.
Like, love you, love you, though.
Oh, I'm just kidding.
He's just joking.
No, he replied saying, King, I'm so sorry, but we need to come up with something else.
Oh, he's doubled down.
Oh, at least he stands by his views.
Oh, my God.
It just, what makes me crazy about this generation that we're in at the moment,
I don't just mean Gen Z, I mean this life that we're living,
how accessible it is to celebrities now.
The fact that he was able to
dis-Ed Sheeran,
Ed Sheeran saw it
and then be like,
I stand by it.
Whereas back in the day
with Michael Jackson,
he was like this,
you know,
as a pop star,
an entity that people would faint
if they saw him.
And now we can just be like,
fingers up,
I think your music's great.
Is this person on TikTok,
this TikToker,
they got a huge following?
Let me check their following.
Or is it just going viral?
Oh, no, decent, 155,000.
Okay, but not like in the millions that...
It's just that everyone started to see it and share it
and obviously it gets the hype.
Yeah, but his videos get between 220 to 1 million views.
So he's definitely got a bit of a following
when it comes to his video watches,
maybe just not follows,
but I just felt that fascinating
that we're in this stage
that not only do celebrities,
I like it a bit,
it humbles everybody.
We're on the same plane.
Also, I don't understand
what Ed Sheeran's doing,
going around reading comments and reviews
about his new song.
He doesn't have a smartphone,
so how's he doing it as well?
I think the phone's back now.
Oh, he's got it back.
Yeah.
And also,
this is why he doesn't need it.
He's taken it off.
And also,
not only is he reading them,
but he's commenting on them
to let people know
he's reading them.
I thought he'd be too busy.
He's got kids and stuff.
I think celebrity's a little bit,
and I love Ed.
I always think of Ed,
but I think he would think
if he wrote LOL,
people would get a bit ashamed
because people,
behind the keyboard,
you say things you wouldn't
say to their face.
But nope,
Zachary said,
I'll say it to your face too,
King, do better.
Oh man,
I mean,
he's having the last laugh,
isn't he?
Ed Sheeran,
he's got his own town.
He literally owns a town.
He's alright.
Holy shit,
you made it the whole way through.
If you want more,
find them on Instagram
at Edge Breakfast.
See you tomorrow.
