This is a podcast from Rover.
Ever wanted to eavesdrop on a group chat that should never see the light of day? Congrats, you've found it.
This is the Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
And here we see her in her natural habitat.
A real life Meg, rolling round in mud. Look at her.
Oh, she's about to do her mating call.
Whoa, whoa, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, whoa, whoa.
Settle down, Meg.
It's time for the show, Kinky.
This is Clint, Meg, and Dan.
Jodi, good morning, NS London.
Welcome.
Good to be here.
Hi, darling.
You've got the ovary headphones on today, Dan. Did you forget your in-ears?
No, I'm just not organised.
I'll be putting my in-ears in very shortly.
Okay, fair call, fair call.
Yeah.
Oh, Monday.
Hopefully you had a great weekend.
We'll share ours and coffee catch up coming up in just a bit.
We've got to get into a 6am throwback first.
What's it gonna be?
What's it gonna be?
I've got a few options, Ash.
What's the vibe?
Okay.
I've got a few options.
I think there's gonna be one in particular that you're gonna be very excited about. a few options Ash. I've got a few options. I think there's going to be one in particular
that you're going to be very excited about. Okay, all right, easy money. Is easy money still 10k?
Or is it a thousand dollars now? No, surely it's still 10k. It's still $10,000. Stop trying to
bring it down Clint. Why would we ever? Nobody can bring me down. I think once the $10,000 goes,
then it's one. Then it's one because we're poor.
Yeah we'll be poor then. But still we're currently New Zealand's richest cash station.
That's right. It's not even in my liner sheet so according to that we're not doing it at all.
$100,000 NZ money. That'll be an email I'll send to somebody after this voice break.
Cangram, Cangram, come on. Everybody knows as well that Clint's the Ron Burgundy
of radio. If it's not written in front of him
he won't read it.
And whatever is written in front of him, he'll read it.
He'll read it. That's actually worse.
I love your jacket today Clint. So warm.
I bought the exact same one for my dad and brother
so we could all match.
Oh, that's cute.
Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my gosh.
I'm about to jump into a 6am throwback
to get you going for the week.
If it's been a rough start this morning.
Has.
And if Adrian, my husband, if you're listening,
can you please bring my makeup bag to work?
Because I forgot it.
It's my rough start.
So now we're going to probably make amazing radio
and then we're going to put it online.
It's going to go viral.
20 million views and I'll look like ass.
You don't want to look like ass when you're getting 20 million views.
There's a running gag every time we do go viral. Meg has like half a face on.
It's happened a lot, eh, where she hasn't got her face on and she's like livid.
And so sometimes when she doesn't, I'm like, maybe that's the thing.
Now Ash, have you ever seen Meg put on her makeup? Because I stand by this.
I reckon she's the fastest makeup putter on in the world. And she's got so much accuracy that she could put on her makeup because I stand by this I reckon she's the fastest makeup put her on her in the world and she she's got so much accuracy that she could put
on I reckon she could do it in two minutes and she looks fabulous
she's got a face though she's got a good face
yeah she's got the best face that's taken her two minutes
I would watch that and genuinely would like the championships of the fastest
of like yeah like speed makeup because my wife's like, I just gotta put a face on to my hair
and I'll go,
we'll be an hour before we leave the house.
If she's a professional,
so like, you know,
when it's your job,
she's gonna do it so perfectly.
Or it's like,
it punters like ass.
It's just like,
it's a flip-flop slap.
It'd be nice to be like,
see babe,
that chick did in two minutes 40.
Look at that,
that's pretty good.
And it's like,
and maybe they go around and judge you
and they score you
and they can disqualify you
if you haven't done it properly.
Yeah, it's a quick one.
I went to get new skincare last week because I'm out of everything.
And as you know, thanks so much.
I had my prezzy card, my gift card, had quite a lot of money to spend.
And I went, but it was my money, it was like, it was a present.
So I could, you know, I'm not going to spend my own money on expensive cosmetics.
Anyway, so I go and I'm that one's nice.
I want to show you a couple of things.
And I'm so how much is that I can most 180.
Oh, no, I'll get a cheaper one.
And then I need an eye cream.
But then I didn't check the moisturizer price because I thought,
well, the moisture is the cheapest of everything.
It's got no actives in it.
Anyway, I am use my whole gift card on four items.
I get home and I'm in the shower.
I might. That was a lot of money.
I mean, nothing else was, everything was like a hundred and something.
How did it get to that?
And I was like, and then I went to look at my receipt and I spent $250 on a moisturizer.
Oh, that's definitely good.
Oh my God, I didn't know they even charge that.
Neither did I.
How much?
Like a liter?
50 mils.
Oh my God, that stuff must be...
What does it do?
I wouldn't be expecting it to give me a face lift for that.
Having said that, two days in...
Ha ha.
Oh no.
My skin feels amazing.
Now we just won't be able to buy anything else.
That's the problem, I'm using,
and it comes with a little mini teaspoon,
because you don't want to put your finger in the tub
and contaminate it with your dirty fingers. So you use this this teaspoon and you should see the amount I'm using it is like
Can I be honest with you? I can't tell the difference
You just don't make it appear like you're flirting with me, but I know that when I walked in you were like supple
I've ever seen
Tell the difference Dan imagine if she didn't buy it.
I know, true.
You would have looked like a prune.
If Dad's using it.
Ash is actually 86 years old.
Right.
Alright what are your 6M throwback options?
Two options, okay.
And within these options, many more options.
So first of all 2017 Justin Bieber and I think I
think we're enough and throwback territory yeah Despacito was released
2017 that was 80 years ago yeah crazy eh and the other one and Daddy
something was the other guy Daddy Yankee yeah that's right A hell of a song. Daddy Yankee, yeah. Why are you so surprised? I'm a medium.
Oh, she's right.
Daddy Yankee, I was like, that doesn't sound like a real name.
Yeah, but this is Louis Fonzie.
True.
The other option, guys, is Rihanna.
Because in 2021, she was listed as the richest female musician in the world.
Yeah, she wasn't even making that money from music.
Yeah, that's right, Fenty Cosmetics.
Go off, sis.
$1.7 billion she's worth.
Why would she release another album?
And we're like, make music, make music.
She's like, F off, I'm a billionaire
and I'm just making babies now.
So we've got a whole,
all of Rihanna's back catalogue really there.
Or do we go Despacito?
Can we play, I like that Calvin
Harris and Rihanna song that Taylor Swift wrote? You know that one? This is what you came for?
This is what you came for to me that's the perfect song. Great for a Monday. And the way it
starts if you just go straight into it baby mmm it's good. Yeah. The Clint, Megan, Dan podcast. On this
day four years ago Rihanna announced the richest female musician in the world.
Yeah, on that day, actually, one point seven billion.
She's gone up since then now worth two point one billion, apparently.
Money makes money.
Mm. That's just interest.
I just what would you even do with that?
Well, it's too much. Whatever you want.
Whatever you want. Yeah, like that's I think that's it.
I'd buy a jet ski. I was watching a movie, you do this.
I was watching Adam Sandler movie with Jennifer Aniston.
Like, the murder. Which one?
Blended?
No, the murder mystery. Oh, the couple.
Murder mystery?
Something like that.
There are a couple who get embroiled in the murder mystery.
Yeah, they're on like some yacht
because they get invited.
And at one point they're chasing the bad guy
and there's a Ferrari Testarossa
and it's like an old school Ferrari and they jump in it and they use it for the chase
and I used to have a like a poster of one of them above my beard when I was a kid for years
and I just realised if you're rich enough you'd watch a movie you go huh I want that car
and then you'd make a call and someone would buy it and it would be delivered and a week later that car
so you could just watch movies and go, I want that,
I want that, and you could have it.
The thing is that doesn't make you happy though,
when you're driving.
Oh, Ferrari, just a rose, it would make me pretty.
You know Tones and I, the Australian singer
from Dance Monkey?
Yeah, I love her.
So she, I don't know if you follow her on Instagram,
but she's obviously made a lot of money from that song
and from her, her other stuff and touring, whatever.
Although she did lose song of the year to Guy Sebastian that year.
That is true.
This is Dance Money.
It's got billions and billions of views.
She just travels the world with like a crew of her friends.
Like I don't know how many there are between 10 and 30.
I can't keep up.
Yeah.
Private Jets, Monaco, like she is using her money in the way that you think that's how you...
If you're not going to have kids yet, that's what you're doing.
Like, she is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on holidays.
Okay, well you have my word. If I ever win Lotto, we will broadcast from a private jet every day.
No, no, no. That's how you die. You die in the AJ's.
Right. Okay. We won't broadcast.
I love how your dream just got eliminated
in like 0.8 of a second.
And she's like, no we won't.
And you're like, okay.
There's no way you're gonna get to spend your money
if you can't even hypothetically spend it
without Ash telling you no.
If it's not Hannah, it's me.
Yeah.
Because you know Hannah would be, no Dan.
Dan's like, we're buying this.
And then just anyone go no and no
and he goes, okay, we're not.
Hannah would be a little bit pissed off if I just pissed my money away on a private jet hire for our show.
Yeah no I do it on a boat in the Mediterranean.
The difference is if it's Lotto once he's spent it it's gone whereas
Tones and I can make more money with more music but I guess you just never quite know when you're
gonna come off the boil and then you'll look back and go, those were the days.
She's living like she ain't coming off the boil, baby.
Yeah, good on her.
And even if she does come off the boil,
she's still got the royalties from Dance Monkey, right?
And she's got the memes.
She's got the sweet, sweet memes
of taking 30 of her mates to Monaco on a PJ.
Her memes, what? Her boobies?
Memories.
Oh, I thought you meant the memories.
Not mammaries.
The memes.
The boobies. No. All the songs, doesn't matter, she's got good boobs.
And you can still make good money if you've got good boobs.
Clint, Meg and Dan. Lezgo!
Scandal. Quite a scandal.
Scandal with Ash London.
We've already kind of kicked off our scandal chat today with a fight,
because Dan for some reason thinks Tom Holland is an A-lister.
I think that Tom Holland, anybody that's playing current Spider-Man is A-list.
Spider-Man's an A-lister, but not the person playing him.
You know what I mean?
That's where you're getting confused there Dan.
I don't know, I think a lot of people would agree.
Text through A or B, I'd like to know. I'd like to get a read of the room.
Yeah.
Of who's listening.
B obviously.
So, Tom Holland, who I follow on Instagram
because I'm obsessed with him and his partner Zendaya.
I have my favorite celebrity couple and they're engaged.
I'm so happy about it.
He's put up a little video of him, the caption.
I actually don't have the caption.
What are you?
He had the date, 31st of the 6th, 2026.
This is happening next July,
and it's like a dark warehouse,
and then a crack of light appears,
and then he walks towards the camera
and he looks down the barrel and hears the audio.
We ready?
["Spring Day"]
He just walks off. Brilliant audio. It's brilliant. There's the Spider Spider-Man audio though, played on piano. Yes, beautiful. So they've started filming already in Glasgow.
I don't know why they're filming in Scotland.
If you'd said to me, where are they filming Spider-Man?
Glasgow, I'd be long down the list.
Because I think now it's become so expensive to make movies in America that most stuff
is getting made in Europe, in like, like Eastern Europe, like the block states, Australia.
Give them like, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black
Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black
Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black
Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black
Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black
Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black

Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black
Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black
Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the Black Sea, the make movies in America that most stuff is getting made in Europe in like like
a Eastern Europe at the block states Australia give them like tax credits to
like allow them to film in the country and bring tourism to them yeah but now
Trump is yeah he's imposing tariffs on people that make movies outside of
America it's a quick turnaround I thought for it for the movie if they've
started filming now and it's out next year That's quite a tight turnaround for you to imagine a big blockbuster film
Because there's all of the people working on the special effects and such yeah, but hey
I'm sure they've got you know hundreds nay thousands of them poses like rinse repeat
There's a bad guy he steals the girls vitamin saves the girls saves the day
There is one photo of him on set picking a wedgie, which I really like that one.
Oh yeah.
Right in there, just getting that wedgie out of there.
I wonder how many hours he spends in the suit per day.
Yeah. That's a great question.
When filming, and is he in the suit every single time,
unless there'll be a stunt person, I'm sure.
But if there's just standing shots and stuff,
I wonder if they go. Definitely.
I thought they were Deadpool in that as well. I was like, I'm sure. But if there's just stand-in shots and stuff, I wonder if they go. Definitely.
I thought they were Deadpool in that as well.
I was like, I wonder because you can't see his face
with Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds.
I'm like, is he in the suit all the time?
Are there days going, someone else just stand-in for Ryan?
All we need is a bit of movement.
There's no acting involved.
They're filming over his shoulder
when someone else is doing their dialogue
and he's in the background.
It's a lot cheaper to get an extra
than have Tom Holland on set all day.
I think a lot of famous movies,
like I think The Grinch with Jim Carrey,
he famously wore a nappy underneath the Grinch suit
because it took so long to put on,
they couldn't afford to take it off mid-filming.
Yeah, that was like, was it like seven hours
or something? Yeah.
Well, he refused to ever, I think,
go back and do like a second one or whatever.
I mean, it was only when I think his story came out
that he was keen to do it again. And were like why? He goes because I need the
money. So he must have had an expensive lifestyle that all of a sudden all his
old blockbuster movies weren't paying for anymore.
God, The Grinch is a good film.
Yeah, you can't get away with putting a nappy on under the Spider-Man costume though.
You can't have a nappy ride under Spider-Man nappy lines.
You're gonna see the line though.
Well I think I might watch some Spider-Man now because I've only seen the Toby McGuire Upside
Dad kissing one.
Yeah, that's iconic, isn't it?
With Kirsten Dunst.
But I would like to see the Tom Holland ones because I think I saw him on me was Louis
Theroux, one of those kind of podcasts where they do a proper chat.
And I just walked away from it thinking what a beautiful man.
Like just raised well.
You can tell you have good parents.
You raised him well.
Smart kid.
So he's done three movies so far.
1.5 million for the first one.
Spider-Man Homecoming.
Is this his pay you mean?
Yes.
Four million for Far From Home, which was the second one.
And No Way Home, which is the last movie,
did $10 million.
Apparently for this next one, 40 million.
Oh my God, I was gonna say he's doubling his ways
and now he's quadrupling it.
So that's a list of pay.
One million to forty million.
That's not A-lister pay.
There's a lesson for all of us there, is that when an opportunity comes sometimes you think,
oh I'm not sure, should I do it, should I not?
Sometimes you never know when an opportunity is going to lead you down the line.
Exactly.
It could lead you to a forty million dollar paycheck.
And just going to the feedback, two A's, one B.
So I'm going to take that as most people think he's an A-lister.
No, that's...
You've texted one of those and the other one's from mum. The sample size is not large enough.
Just text through.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Stinky-Boo.
Anyone ever done that?
They've been in a relationship and then you break up and you just go back to friends?
Nope.
But it's actually like you were when you were friends?
Nope.
Nah.
I've never spoken to my exes since.
Even though you say, hey look, we'll be friends, let's just be friends.
And I never said we'll be friends. I don't think you can, firm believer. And if you say, hey, look, we'll be friends. Let's just be friends.
And I never said it before.
I don't think you can.
Firm believer.
And if you break up with someone, you just cut them off.
My brother had his ex at his wedding.
And they were together for like seven, eight years.
He's a better person than me.
I think it depends.
If you're with someone a long time
and then you break up amicably,
to have someone that important
just never in your life anymore seems crazy to me.
It's so weird. And I've seen all your bits and pieces. Yeah, and now we're just like
I think Sebastian's got a song about that. Does he? Does he indeed?
I think there's obviously circumstances where you do like if you've got kids and stuff then obviously but I mean
It's rare to be amicable with kids. I think yeah, what are your thoughts on it? Allie stay friends with the ex or not? Oh
Well, I run a clam action
I'm actually a bit of a mess here by myself at the moment.
I think it all depends like how much you've gone through and how much you are able to
put aside for your mental health as well as obviously looking out for your children.
That's a mature answer.
She's a good mom.
I think you're right.
Wow.
It all depends. I could have a stressed three-year-old.
It all depends on why the breakup is happening. You're right.
Yeah, that definitely has a way to do with it. Yeah, but it doesn't necessarily help when there's
like blame as well, like regardless of why. Of course, of course.
That's so tricky, human beings are tricky.
Of course.
And you're right, when there are kids involved,
it's like finding that balance
between respecting their father or their mother,
but also respecting yourself.
Whoa, whoa, you got a lot going on, Ellie.
I'm just reading some stuff that producer Carl's put through.
Have you got three kids and two dogs?
And a cat
Yeah, and silly me I'm promised my son when I got my oldest son when I got
My small dog so my Pomeranian. I was like, this is my dog. But when you turn 10
You can have your sausage dog. Wow, I tell you what, he's nine next month. Oh, man. That's on you, babe.
And you know those sausage dogs have got medical problems.
You get pet insurance with that dog.
Yeah.
Oh, don't tell me that.
Stomachs are always all tangled anyway.
But yours will be perfect.
Oh, yeah.
No problems.
One of the rare cases where it has no problems.
I could have a robot one.
Like, it'll be 20, 26.
My kid wants one of those.
They're probably more expensive than a real sausage dog.
True that.
No poo's and whee's to clean up.
Exactly.
Toilet training.
She knows. Ellie knows what's up.
Yeah, I don't know toilet training.
I find those robot ones quite fun because she can kick them to try to like push them over.
Yeah.
You know, have you seen the videos?
Have you seen the videos?
You can't do that with real dogs. No, you can't do it with a real one. But the ones that are there, they're walking along and you like try and kick them over? Yeah. You know, have you seen the videos? Have you seen the videos? You can't do that with real dogs.
No, you can't do it with a real one.
But the ones that are there, they're walking along
and you try and kick them down a hill.
And they can...
What are the issues, bro?
Am I the only one that...
Yeah, no, no one wants to do that.
But it's a robot!
Yeah, but still...
So what do you do for fun on the weekends?
I just kick my robot dog down the hill.
That's right.
But quite often, they don't fall down the hill.
They're amazing.
Because you kick it and it goes... down the hill. They're amazing. You kick it and it goes...
And then stops.
They're incredible.
You try that with a real dog and it'll go down the hill.
His eyebrows are so far up and he's forward because he's so excited and trying to convince
us that that's a normal thing to say.
I think Honda makes them.
Really?
Honda makes robotic dogs that don't fall down hills even if you give them a bit of an ass.
Honda will always remind me of, the Fonda ain't got a Honda in the back of her Honda,
my Anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun.
I branch out into dogs now.
Yeah.
All right, Ali, we're going to give you about to go
spend the store at Zed, however you like, babe.
But thanks for taking the time to chat with us this morning.
Perfect, thank you. Enjoy your day, guys.
You too.
And let me just reiterate, I don't condone kicking dogs. Not your day guys. You too. And let me just reiterate.
I don't condone kicking dogs.
Not real ones.
But robotic ones.
Go for gold. Go for gold.
I thought you guys had forgotten about this.
I see you are still planning on punishing me for my odd mistake on Friday.
Is it a punishment?
Are we calling it a punishment or just a little slap on the hand?
It's just a little something something.
Consequence.
I will say this though, I'm going to play a sound through the microphone Clint.
This may give you a clue as to what you're doing.
Oh, I've seen those Instagram videos.
I haven't, I have no idea what we're talking about.
There'll be something in his mouth.
Oh dear.
Again.
He's going gonna inflict pain,
and if it makes enough pain for me to make that noise,
I think, then I get hit again.
Yeah, so there we go.
That's weird.
You guys are so weird.
Ah-ha!
Where did Every Caller Wins on Friday?
Every Caller Wins edge sharing tickets.
We changed the whole station to The Ed,
instead of The Edge.
Great idea, whoever's idea that was as well,
just taking the G and the E off.
That's classic, my husband really,
mad for naming things and.
Yeah, he's good.
Now.
In bed.
Mm-mm, so I've heard.
So I've heard.
And not from you, weirdly.
Anyway, so Clint, it was your job being the anchor
of the show, the guy that comes in and out of the songs and goes,
you're on the edge with Clint, Meg and Dan with Ash London.
You had to remember, and this is, I would never,
I would never remember.
So I'm throwing stones at a glass house,
which I would never stand in.
From a glass house.
Yes.
And yeah.
He's already making mistakes.
Have we smacked Dan every time he made a mistake?
I would say he'd be dead by like 8am.
My glass house has no windows left.
Anyway, so Clint, how did you think you went saying the Ed instead of the Edge?
Well, if we're only counting the times I got caught, because the times that I know I did say Edge, you and Ash were none the wiser.
I'm not sure how many producers caught. Because I know that we set you and Ash were none the wiser. I'm not sure how
many producers call. Because I know that we we set you a challenge not to make
any mistakes. Yeah. We have to have some sort of punishment tomorrow for whenever
Clint mistakenly says Edge instead of Edge because you're gonna have to back
announce and say you're on the edge every day. That's how we get to spank him. Yeah. Or maybe we get a turn each of stand for.
There's also a mistake in there from Dan because he said we're a punishment
tomorrow and that was Friday but we don't work Saturday so you might have Or maybe we get a turn each of Spankle. There's also a mistake in there from Dan, because he said, we have punishment tomorrow,
and that was Friday, but we don't work Saturday.
So you might have missed your punishment window.
Does that mean you do want to give him a spank?
Yeah, maybe you get one.
So then you want to give him a spank.
Okay.
This is not about me.
Okay, this is about you, Clint.
How many times I do it?
It's the edge.
It's the edge.
Quarter past seven on the edge.
On the edge.
Hey, it's the edge.
12 to nine.
Blink twice on the edge. Oh. Six I hey it's the edge, 12 to 9, blink twice on the edge.
Six I counted.
I counted six there.
Six spanks.
Which is pretty good for a whole four hour show but still not good enough.
One every half hour, I know one every half hour, more than that. You did good though.
Now here's how we sort of transition into this next bit, because you need the punishment.
And we've left the punishment over to our fantastic
executive producer, Carl Thompson.
Now the thing about Carl is, when you give him a task,
he's like a dog with a bone, and he will take said task
and take it to the next level.
The level he's taken it to here, Clint,
I wonder whether we've taken it too far.
And I also wonder that.
I feel like I got into a bit of a daze here.
I got an idea in my head.
I kind of went for it
and then the pond sober thought this morning.
I've gone too far with this.
Oh, I mean, look, I'm really-
People are gonna think I'm a sexual deviant, aren't they?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what I think already, just looking at ya.
Thank you.
So you made some calls on the weekend,
I think, to some different organisations
to get some paraphernalia for today.
Hey mate, it's Nick Theroux speaking with ****Cocknail.
Hi there ****. Hey mate. The thing I'm looking for is, you know those rubber chickens that make the real funny noise when you squeeze them?
Yeah, it's kind of the standard...
Standard rubber chicken, eh? Yeah.
Yep.
Oh, brilliant. I'll see you soon for a rubber chicken then.
No worries, see you soon.
Good stuff, thanks mate.
Okay, and then you made another call to a place called,
I think it was called Peaches and Cream.
Peaches and Cream, I love Peaches and Cream.
Peaches and Cream Henderson.
Oh, hi there.
I was just ringing to see if you've got a product in stock.
I'm looking for like a ball gag.
Yeah, we've got plenty of them.
Oh, brilliant.
Like are there different types?
Yeah, there's breedable, we've got holes in them,
and then there's silicone, and it's a full ball.
Oh, right. Thank you so much.
Thank you, bye.
So yeah, have you ever been picking...
I love how she was just so... yep, yep, yep.
You've got plenty of that.
No judgement here, come on.
Now, he has purchased the chicken, and he has purchased a ball gag.
Can I just say, I don't know what a ball gag is.
It's a thing you put in your mouth. I don't know either, yeah.
Oh, I thought it was a gag. I thought when he said ball gag it had to do with your balls.
Oh no. It's a ball that gags in your mouth. Yeah so it kind of covers your mouth. It's like a
you know dominatrix submissive kind of thing. One of the guys here one time in our marketing
team or whatever team he was in at the time but I will throw him under the bus Richie,
ended up coming with some idea where we're all superheroes and I drew the short end of the stick and I was wearing a ball gag and like a some sort of like leathered
suit that ended up going on billboards and stuff around the country. Wow.
That is how much I've taken for this team already. That's on your manager for allowing that.
Yeah yeah and I think our current manager has got some a lot to answer
for as well so what he's done Carl is he's taken the voice box out of the trickin' and he's put it inside this ball gag
Clint, which you're going to wear,
and we're going to give you six whacks
with some sort of whacker.
And if you make a noise out of this ball gag,
that's another whack.
Oh, that's unfair.
So I had nothing to do with that, babe. Just so you know.
So you're still gonna... I'm still wacky. I'm just gonna whack you.
I've given you the ball gag. Oh great.
Let's just just quickly...
The song's already started. It sucks to be you.
Alright, let's get into it.
I said the edge instead of the eard a few times on Friday when we changed the station with every call it wins tickets to Ed Sheeran.
So now I'm being spanked.
Spankety spankety, B-Bear. This isn't the first time you've been spanked. I can just imagine.
Oh, I think he does it quite often.
Don't pretend to be thinking about it like you have to offer.
Oh yeah?
No, off air. You and Jamie would definitely be doing some spanking.
Would you class his OnlyFans as On Air?
Because he does have a spanking OnlyFans, doesn't he? Spanky, isn't they called it?
Spanky Clint.
So what we're gonna do-
Very creative name.
Yeah, I didn't think too long about it.
I must've just picked one.
Carl, our producer, got this idea from a TikTok
where they put these things in their mouths
and then get whacked.
And it's a couple of people and they whack each other.
And then if they make a noise out of said apparatus-
Well, you don't have to blow very hard for it to make the noise.
So I guess the theory is when you get whacked, you normally go,
ah, but if you ex hell at all, it makes the noise and you get whacked again.
Yeah. So you get six whacks, OK?
And hopefully every time this whack happens, we get a little noise out of the apparatus
that you've got in your mouth.
And he's forced himself to be breathing out of your nose
if you don't want it to make
a noise I would imagine.
See he's got the ball gag in his mouth now.
I need you to close your lips around it.
These both these sentences you just see there.
Have you ever seen them on radio in your long career?
Okay.
That's Clint laughing.
Let's just get this done.
I'm going to do the first couple.
I'm going to get one at the end.
Okay, you get the last one.
Let's see if the producers get a couple as well because of all the times Clint's got them.
You get three, I'll get one.
You guys get one each, Greg.
Alright, he's bent over. This is not something...
Can you drop the beard? Just drop the old kind of music there.
Oh my god.
This is really awkward from my angle, isn't it?
Here we go. Three, two, one. Oh my gosh, this is really awkward from my angle, isn't it?
3, 2, 1.
It's funner than I thought.
Next one, we'll go to the other cheek.
3, 2, 1.
Oh, quits.
His face, he's wincing, he's wincing and laughing and what's the colour of the
cheek?
Have we got some redness on the cheek now, Danny boy?
Now I'm going to try and get it rid of, this is my last one.
Okay.
Three, two, one.
Now, Clint, I'm not going to use the jandle, I'm not gonna use the jandle.
I'm gonna use a paw pad that I bought from home.
It's a little thing.
So you get to choose which...
So do you want... Just make a noise if you want.
Do you want sky?
OK. OK.
He just wants this to get done.
He wants this to be over.
I know I said I regretted this before, but I don't now.
This is great. Yeah.
Ready?
Here we go.
Three, two, one.
Ooh!
That was quite hard.
It's the delay.
Your legs are not bad.
Oh actually it's bad.
Okay.
Two more quickly.
The producers.
Go Belle.
Okay quickly.
You're doing well, bud.
This is the weirdest thing I think I've ever been involved with.
Yeah.
Oh, Bella's loving it.
Oh, that was too gentle.
You're too nice babe.
What a waste of a whip.
It's okay, he gets two more.
Carl's in, Carl's in.
This is the last one actually.
Last one.
Okay, make this work Carl.
Three, two, one. Make this work, Carl. Three, two, one.
What a lacklustre.
I thought that was going to be the worst one.
I was like, he's going to whine it up.
We already had so many.
We don't want to really hurt you.
We want you to be able to sit down.
So there you go, Clint.
You can take the ball, GaGa.
That's...
It'll be a fun thing we should keep for Dan.
I've already got one at home, don't worry.
Ha ha!
Alright, let's give away 10k with easy money.
That's a weird transition, isn't it?
Mmm.
That's one of the weirdest things we've ever done.
Yeah, I feel awkward and I don't know where to look now.
All that right cheek, I think, is gonna need a little pink there.
Yeah.
From you, Danny boy.
Good work, hey. Do know I would have given you the same treatment,
so don't feel too bad

Sweet pass. Oh no.
An adjective.
Yadda.
There's no coming back from three passes.
No four passes, we got through seven but you passed four of them.
You can play an instrument, a movie is I am Sam, I am Legend, I robot, Iron Man, a city,

Ipswich, Indianapolis, Istanbul,
you can send an invitation, an invoice, anything.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, so sorry, Kristen.
Oh, okay, thank you.
No worries, I reckon Monday morning's tough.
It is.
You know, like even, we're looking
for our second coffee already.
So we just did seven.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Dan was just telling us,
if you are great at what you do,
but you're not earning enough money doing it,
you might be able to do the exact same thing you're doing now
for more money somewhere else.
Yeah, and I think the obvious option is to move to Australia.
I know nurses, teachers, that kind of job
earns much better in Australia than it does in New Zealand.
And as a result, last year...
The cost of living is cheap.
Yes, exactly right.
And as of last year, 2024, 47,000 people moved from New Zealand to Australia.
Isn't that incredible?
That is a lot, eh?
Aussies do love Kiwis.
What is the thing you noticed?
What was the biggest shock moving from Aussie to New Zealand?
The price of petrol.
Really?
I can't get over it.
It's twice as expensive.
And I think that hikes up a lot of stuff as well,
because of obviously transport and freight
within New Zealand that adds to the price of products.
So when we, if we go, like I would keep driving around
if petrol was over $2 somewhere in Australia,
I'd better have gone there.
And I'd keep driving to find somewhere under $2.
Yeah, and shipping, anything shipping is a lot.
Like I'm used to buying things online,
free shipping, not here.
Well, this is interesting because a lot of people go,
Australia's great because you can go there,
you don't need a visa, you can kind of just basically go there and work.
But I think if you like Clint said, if you're good at your job,
you can almost live in a lot of places and get sponsored.
But if you're really, really good at it, you know, you can move to the UK,
you can move to the US and if you're good at it, the company will sponsor you.
I wouldn't be moving to the US at the moment, but.
Interestingly, go off, says Canada.
Yeah, bring. Canada?
Bring on Canada.
Yeah, that's classy.
I'm into that.
So there's a list of the top 50 locations in the world.
Okay.
Where should we be going, Daniel?
Does it depend on what you do though?
What your occupation is or it doesn't really matter?
This goes on average wage.
Okay.
And how much monthly people are earning.
And just keep in mind this is US dollars.
So New Zealand's, it's 24th in the world, which isn't actually too bad.
I know we complain about it a lot but 24 this is US dollars. So New Zealand's, it's 24th in the world, which isn't actually too bad. I know we complain about it a lot, but 24th is not bad.
And average monthly wage in US dollars is $2,860.
Now Australia, on the other hand,
where a lot of people move to is 13th.
So it's almost within the top 10.
The average monthly wage in Australia is $4,218.
That's a big gap.
That's a big jump from $2,800 to over
four grand. And I think that's why obviously a lot of people are moving. But, oh but, there is a lot
of places you can earn even more than that. So top ten. 12 more places I guess. Netherlands,
the average wage is $4,581 US dollars a month. So far though.
Then you could move to Ireland, Canada.
Oh I think Ireland would be cool. I like the Irish.
And there are hot guys there and they just call you Darrell and Lov when they open the door.
That wasn't on my.10 list is the way I wanted to go about it.
Hot guys, better salaries.
Yeah, the Netherlands is also in there, so Greenland. Canada is
another place. They're earning over $5,000 a month. Where are they in the top 10?
They're seventh. There's so many more. Is Singapore in there or something? Singapore is in there.
They're just outside the top 10 in the 11th place and I think that's because
they have a little bit of poverty in Singapore. So you see quite a lot of...
Yeah, a working class that are propping up the rich people.
But the top three, and this shocked me, but the third most highest earning country in
the world per month, United States.
No, that's a lie. Throw out that whole list.
The average wage in the United States is $6,455.
That's not true. I just don't believe that statistic one bit. The average wage in the United States is $6,455.
I don't believe that statistic. What one bet?
Are there parts of America that are earning so much money?
Silicon Valley maybe, New York.
It's enough to bring everyone up, surely not.
Or it's the average wage, so you'd imagine that there'd be a lot of people
that are earning much less than that.
Luxembourg $6,633 per month, the average.
And Switzerland, number one.
Switzerland's got a lot going for it.
Yeah, $8,000. You don't even have to pay tax there.
I don't think it's a tax-free nation.
That's why a lot of rich people...
No, you pay tax in Switzerland.
Do you?
Of course you do.
Just in like, you don't pay tax in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and those places.
Dubai, Singapore plays like I've reduced or none.
But Singapore you pay tax.
Switzerland is the most expensive place I've ever been though. We're talking like ten bucks for a coffee.
The cost of living is so high. So you earn lots of money but then it costs you a fortune when you go out
anywhere and spend it. But I would imagine it's one of those places where the public
services are like free, you get free health care, free education, free
university, like you're earning a lot and it's expensive expensive to live there, but there's lots of perks.
But God, it's a beautiful place.
So if you're Sparky driving to work this morning,
you're like, I'm earning like nothing.
I'm going to Switzerland.
Imagine, me and my whole family,
the seven of us, we're going to Switzerland.
Yeah, pour yourself in the language and do your thing.
What a list, that's shocking.
That was interesting, Dan.
I don't believe the USA statistic though,
but I think you've nailed it, Clint.
I think it's because of the concentration of billionaires that they need to take out the top 10% and
the top and the bottom 10% and average out the middle 80. I think that's the
way to do it. But I think also the takeaway is we're not as bad as we
thought. 24th is not too bad. As someone who has moved to Aotearoa I can
hand on heart say I would not want to live anywhere else in the world. It is a
beautiful country to live in. I'm so happy here. There's so much to love about it.
Yeah, but you work with Dan and I, so...
Cheers! Cheers! I'm very lucky.
Speaking of which, can you please go make me a coffee?
Because you do make the best coffees, and it's getting to that time.
Okay, we're gonna do that. Thank you so much. I'll see you later.
Roast into glasses, eh?
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Guys up for entertainment?
Clint, Megan, Dan with Ash London. Scandal.
It's a big one.
So the latest F1 was in Hungary, Budapest.
I like saying Budapest.
Such a great track as well.
It's a driver's track.
Lewis Hamilton, one of his favorites.
Explain what that means, a driver's track for the people at home.
Well, it's just a track that's been around for many, many years and a lot of the drivers
like going there because it's great for racing.
Yes. Yes.
Although...
Lewis Hamilton, didn't he suck?
Yeah, he hasn't had a great race.
I don't know what's going on, but we should have actually got the audio bit of Lewis Hamilton
after qualifying.
He was out in Q2, which is the second part of qualifying, and just so downbeat.
The reporter asked him what was wrong, and he was just like, I just suck. I'm useless was the words he used. And he's like, the team need to
replace me. And I love that about Lewis Hamilton, that a lot of
drivers had blamed the car or blame external reasons why and he's just like, you know what,
it was me. And he's been really downbeat for the last couple of races.
You know when there's things going on in your personal life,
not saying they're out, but like it affects everyone in their job.
It's so weird that we think...
Just because I won't reply to his texts doesn't mean he should just be throwing races away.
Like, bro, I'm married and you're just not at the level that I need right now for a man.
Yeah.
He's not even in the top 10.
That's right.
But I want to talk about Liam Lawson, though, because I think this is really exciting. He's come eighth, which means he's in points. He's right. I want to talk about Liam Lawson though because I think this is it's really
exciting. He's come eighth which means he's in points, he's got four points. He's come in ahead
of Verstappen like arguably for the last couple of years it was kind of Lewis Hamilton was number
one for a while then Verstappen was unbeatable. So Lawson's beat Verstappen which is you know
we've got to give him some credit here. And I know Clint, you'll go eighth is not great. But in the car that Liam Lawson is in, that is a win.
That is a win.
And I know that you watch Formula, I watch Formula One now
and I've watched it for many, many years
for the mid-pack racing,
because it's usually the same three or four drivers
that win every race.
But if you watch the mid-pack of Formula One,
man, it's a claim. But did he start eighth,
like he qualified eighth and he finished eighth?
Yeah, but that is good. That is good. Okay, but I'm not beating up on him, but Dan was like, like he qualified eighth, and he finished eighth. Yeah, but that is good.
That is good.
Okay, but okay, I'm not beating up on him,
but Dan was like, when he loses,
and he finishes like 16th,
the New Zealand media will beat up on him and say he sucks.
But then when he does great, no one reports on it.
My argument is he hasn't done great,
and he hasn't done bad.
So no one's reporting on it because out of 20 cars,
you got eighth, like you're middle of the pack.
I guess you report on it when he is bad, or when he is amazing. But I think even for someone of 20 cars, you got eighth, like you're middle of the pack. I guess you report on it when he is bad
or when he is amazing.
But I think even for someone of that age
with that background to have one of the cars
is such an amazing feat
that people do need to cut him some slack.
Yeah.
I mean, I would,
maybe I just don't know enough about the sport,
but if you finished eighth out of 50,
yeah, cool, there's only 20 cars.
Yeah, but-
And they don't all finish.
Yeah, that's the thing And they don't all finish.
That's the thing.
They don't all finish.
It's common to not finish or to crash out.
And he didn't do any of those things
and he managed to get within points.
So I think it's fantastic.
I think, yeah, I agree with you, Ash.
I think that the New Zealand media,
and we'd love to do it.
We love to tool, poppy, chop other New Zealanders
and bring them down.
We've talked about it before.
But I'd love to see more reporting on when he does well. And will stand by this. He has done very well and for the last few races
he's done very well but you don't see it reported as much to when he has a bad race. Yeah and also
it would probably be really good for his confidence in that car to feel like he has some support and
if he's going to get support from anywhere in the world it should be here. I mean I guess to your point are you trying to say like his car if driven unbelievably
well can only ever probably warrant an eighth or seventh maybe sixth finish at best.
He's never going to finish first in the car he's in so it's not even doable.
It is doable but it needs other factors.
If it was just a race where there was...
McLaren would need to crash out into the...
Yes.
Or it needs to be a rainy race where there's other things at play.
But I just want to shout out to Liam Lawson.
We'd love to get him on the show and chat to him because he has just done such an incredible job this year.
And think about it, the amount of stuff he was dragged through the mud with,
with being dropped from the original team, he was dropped through the media,
and he's managed to turn the year around and now he's like beating his teammate yeah and he's doing really really well in the top 10 really proud
of him. If you know him or if you met him, we'd just go with him, be related to him.
Yeah. Our lines are always open we'd love to get one step closer to getting Mr.
Lawson on the job. Right and my negative Nancy chat isn't probably helping though.
No it's not. But you don't know anything about the sport. I watched Drive to Survive.
We've still got the ball gag we'll put it in Clint's mouth
before we interview him.
And worst case scenario, I'll start replying to Lewis Hamilton's texts.
See if it's completely good for the show, if I'm asked.
Thanks babe, you're so good.
So selfless.
Alright, unique names is next. We haven't done this one in a wee while.
But if you went to school with, you live next to someone with a very unique name.
We love hearing him,
Dan reads them all out. Just try not to troll him too much because Dan does get a little
carried away at times.
I don't think people troll me. I think there's a lot of names that are real that people don't
think about when they name their kids.
Nah, troll away.
We are talking unique names. If you went to school with one, you currently work with one and
unfortunately maybe their parents were naming them, didn't go through all the
things that it rhymed with. If you shortened it, what it now sounded like
when you added the last name to it. And also language changes. So you know,
it's something that isn't a word when you're a newborn becomes a word when
you're 15. Yes. Now you've heard of the podcast of Joe Rogan. Yes. Let me introduce you to
a man from my Pukedale called Rogan Josh. No. No one's last name's Josh. You've been
trolled again. People love trolling Dan in the sigma and ash because he reads them all
out. I do love Rogan Josh. Delicious. Also someone went to school with a person called Herbie Hind. Ha ha ha. A guy.
I do love an alliterated name.
Herbie Hind.
Her behind.
And very good.
Now, someone's called through who is a very,
I love this listener.
Now, good morning Chutney.
Morning.
The name saved as Chutney, but it's not, is it? No.
Now this was a mistake I made, it must be nearly two years ago now, where I introduced you and your real name is Shontay.
But I didn't read correctly and this is what happened.
Got on your Cassidy and Chutney's...
Chutney!
Chutney!
Ow, I put my back out!
Maybe I am old!
Ow!
Chutney!
Dammit, I'm bagging that name for a next kid.
That's a shame because she ended up calling her daughter Miller.
Not Chutney at all.
So Chutney, do you still get called that out of interest?
Yes, all the time.
Who calls you Chutney now?
Because that was 2023 that is labelled that audio.
So it's been a year and a half.
All my friends that I worked with at the time, they changed my phone name to Chutney, my
professional phone dial ID, everything.
Everything they changed Chutney.
It still sucks.
So good.
What a great story.
And that's all it takes is just one moment and if it's funny enough it becomes a lifelong
nickname A-Chut.
I love it, absolutely love it.
I think you changed my Instagram to it.
You changed your Instagram to Chutney!
I love that, a mistake I made.
Wow.
It just shows that sometimes you can turn a mistake into something positive.
Just be thankful Chutney your name's not like this person, Manuel Labor.
Shut up, you're being trolled again. Just be thankful, Chutney, your name's not like this person. Manuel Labor.
Shut up! You're being trolled again! Someone! They work at the ports!
And it's irony that they're doing quite manual labour.
Okay, Kat.
You dated a guy named what?
So his first name was Paul and his surname was Lups.
L-U-P-S.
Pull ups.
He changed his birth name.
I've seen on Facebook since he got married.
Oh, he took her name.
Oh yeah, you would, wouldn't you?
Yeah, he did, yeah.
Wouldn't you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Pull Ups.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There was, I don't think it was his real name.
I think the boys used to just change it on his,
you know, when you'd sign in in the morning
and you'd clock in with the time and every time he'd
go they'd made his last name bags.
Poor Paul, poor Paul.
What about if Paul was getting married and he'd say, I'll take your name and then his
wife's surname was...
Humor for something.
Oh, now you're trolling me.
You're not changing it from Lips to Humor, but Paul Humor.
For goodness sake.
Rachel, good morning.
I'm sorry. Oh now you're trolling me. You're not changing him from lobster him off. Pull him off.
Oh for goodness sake. Rachel, good morning.
Morning.
So you're throwing your nephew under the bus.
What's your nephew's name?
Oh, please, I was thinking.
Um, Rowan. Rowan over water.
Of course it is Rowan over water.
Sorry Rowan if you're listening, it's a bit of a laugh.
Did his mum know and was like this will be funny?
Or she had no idea until someone brought it to her attention like a year later?
I'm not sure, she was quite a serious lady so I think she's oblivious.
Even if you shorten it to row to avoid it, it's still row over water. It's oblivious. Yeah. Just... Yeah. Even if you shorten it to row, to avoid it,
it's still row over water.
It's almost worse.
It's worse.
Yeah.
You know what?
If I was called rowing over water,
I'd make it my life's goal to get to the Olympics.
Oh!
And win gold is rowing over water.
Can you imagine?
Just the commentary.
The commentator's dream.
And we're going to end on this.
It can't be real.
It just can't be real.
It cannot be real.
What are you doing?
Barbara Black sheep.
Barbara Black sheep! Shut up!
No, Danielle! It's such a texture through!
No, they're just trolling.
We've got multiple wankers. They come through every week.
We've got so many wankers listening to the show.
On Friday, if you got on our show, between 6 and 10, you won a double pass to Ed Sheeran.
And there were mixed responses from people,
most fairly ecstatic, as you would assume.
No way, no way, no way, no way, is it actually?
Oh my God, thank you guys, I'm freaking out.
I'm trying not to cry.
You're going to Ed Sheeran!
Ah!
You're going to go to Ed SheHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ four hours of trying to get through, you're just like, whoa, I did it! Your fingers about to fall off your hand from all the dialing, your ears.
So we got so many calls and so many texts.
And after the show, we kind of had the time to really,
I don't know, scroll through some of the texts
and read through some of the stories.
There was one that came through that really was quite lovely.
So it was from a mum who said her daughter had,
it was a high schooler,
said her alarm for 6 a.m. had been calling all morning and then had to go off to school.
I was like, mum, you've got to keep calling while I'm at school learning, you know, being
educated.
She said that her little brother had been admitted to hospital and while she was in
hospital she'd been doing dinners, washing, still kept her grades up at school without
even being asked, really kind of stepped up.
She seemed like a really good kid.
Yeah, and I imagine the disappointment on Friday when you pick your kid up at school without even being asked, it really kind of stepped up. She seemed like a really good kid. Yeah, and I imagine the disappointment on Friday
when you pick your kid up from school and they're like,
did you get through, Mum?
And you're like, no.
And it's like, oh, you've sat with that all weekend.
Yeah, you feel crap because all you want to do
is make your kids happy at the end of the day.
So I think it could be nice.
We were like, let's call.
And I think it'd be nice if maybe Ash,
if you're calling from the school saying that her daughter is still,
is like really sad on a Monday,
and you're unsure why,
and if it's got anything to do with Ed Sheeran mishap.
Oh, but the thing is Clint,
she's gonna have to put on a voice or something,
like an accent.
No, don't make me do an accent.
Maybe an Irish.
Oh, I do love an Irish accent.
I'm already stressed about doing the call.
Yeah, but if you call with your Australian accent,
she's gonna know it's a friend.
I'm not that famous.
You'll let the cat out of the bag too early.
Oh, you'd be surprised to reach the show, huh?
So I'm doing an Irish accent and calling the school to say your daughter's sad.
Yep.
Okay.
Don't worry, at the end of the day she gets the insurance.
Wait, let me just practice it.
Hello.
Holy potatoes.
Hello.
It's just recalling from school.
Okay, yeah.
Oh, that was quite good.
Oh, that's not bad. It was a bit shaky at the start, I was about to pull out.
Okay, I got the number, good luck team.
Hello, is that Mrs Hubbard?
Yeah.
Mrs Hubbard, it's Leanne from your daughter's school, how are you doing today?
Good thanks.
Now she's totally fine, I just wanted to call to give you a chance.
She's a bit upset today, do you think you might know why? Who's my daughter? How you doing today? Good, thanks. Now she's totally fine. I just wanted to call to give you a chance.
She's a bit upset today.
Do you think you might know why?
Who's my daughter?
She's like an Ed Sheeran fan I heard.
Something about some Ed Sheeran tickets and she wanted the Ed Sheeran tickets and she
didn't get them.
She's just making that up.
No, she's not making that up.
Ah, so you're trying.
She is a bit upset at school today and I was just wondering if you wanted to talk to her
or if there's something we could say to maybe cheer her up a little bit.
No, it's okay. Who is this?
This is Leanne from your daughter's school.
What school does she go to?
She goes to The Edge High School.
Does she?
It's no such thing as that.
If I say The Edge, what does that make you think of if it's not a high school?
It's a radio station. Oh, is it? Do you I say The Edge, what does that make you think of if it's not a high school?
It's a radio station. Oh, is it?
Do you listen to The Edge or ZM?
The Edge.
Darling, it's Cleve, Meg and Ash from The Edge.
Fresh from the show here, darling.
Morning, Nicole.
Oh my gosh.
I understand the hindsight now.
I'm freaking out.
I'm like, what the heck is going on?
I thought it was some AI scammer.
Yeah, and that is fake.
You know, I thought about it as I was doing it
and I was like, someone was calling,
talking about being from my child's school
and I didn't know what my child's school was.
I was like, what's going on?
I'm like, what is this?
You answered all the questions perfectly, really.
Well, lucky you didn't chat to Leanne for longer
because if she put you through to the principal,
he was going to give you a massive telling off
for not getting your daughter tickets this morning.
My heart is through my chest.
What is your daughter's name?
Her name's Pagan.
Pagan, has she gone off to school today?
Yes, she has gone off to school.
She has called, if you set her alarm at six o'clock
and she was calling off my phone
until it was time for me to drop off to school.
But her hands down being amazing, like my son has been in and out of hospital for the past couple of weeks.
And she's, you know, it's just me and my kids.
So she's stepped into like motherly instinct, you know, and she's helped out so much without being asked.
So, yeah.
How old is she?
She's 13.
13!
Oh, she's a teenager.
Yep, yep.
Well, would you like to give her some great news
at 3 o'clock when you pick her up from school
that she is going to Ed Sheeran now?
Oh my gosh, you're amazing.
Thank you so much.
Good on you, darling.
You and your daughter are off to Ed Sheeran.
I actually was. I actually was. I'm sorry for that. I didn't think that through. I didn't think that
through. As a mum I should have realised that yeah I would have been like piss off you don't
know me or my family. I'm surprised you didn't see through the crap Irish accent of them all.
Did you think my accent was good?
I thought you sounded like AI.
Who knew Nigerians gamers?
All they need to do to win over people's trust
is give them insurance tickets and then get the bank account details.
That's right.
I reckon.
Well, that's going to be a great conversation
when you pick your beautiful daughter up
and you get to tell her the amazing news.
Have the best time. Gals night out, bebe.
Oh, thank you so much, team.
So just to finish this, we just need the numbers on the front of your credit card and the CCV on the back of it, if possible.
Yeah.
See you, bro.
Thank you.
Your chance to play for 10k, coming up in less than 15 minutes to be a great way
to start the week especially if you have an expensive weekend.
Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my gosh. Right now though Dan's about to share the secret to his
successful marriage and people who have been in long relationships probably do
have a specific secret. Obviously it's going to be specific to every
relationship but sometimes it could work for them, it could work for you.
Totally.
And I'm not saying that in my relationship,
we've only been together for eight years,
married for four or five, don't know.
Yeah, you haven't even made the seven year itch yet.
Yeah, and so there's a lot of people that I think,
you know when you see an old couple
and they're still in love, you know,
and you're kind of like, what's the secret?
This is ours, okay?
And you've already had a kid and I think if your marriage can survive the first two years of parenthood, you're kind of like, what's the secret? This is ours. Okay? And you've already had a kid, and I think if your marriage can survive
the first two years of parenthood, you're good.
Wow, his kid's not two yet, so.
Yeah, who knows?
Still time.
Still time.
Maybe we need to keep doing this thing
that I'm about to tell you about.
Tell us, I'm intrigued.
It's called the relationship health check,
and I think that probably there is a lot of couples
out there that maybe do this type of thing
in one guys or another.
So the way we do it, and we learnt this because we got
married in a church, in the Catholic church,
and as before you get married in a Catholic scenario,
you have to go through this thing called marriage,
like a marriage course.
With a priest who's never touched a woman.
Yeah. Ridiculous.
And.
It's just the most ridiculous thing in the world.
What are you possibly gonna teach me
about a human sexual relationship?
I think priests do do it.
I think that's a common misconception.
Do do sex?
Yeah, I think they do.
I think you'd be very surprised to know
there's a lot of priests.
I would not be surprised at all.
Anyway, let's not get into that.
Back to the relationship health check
that Father Michael, whatever his name is,
taught you about. Yes, David.
Now, it is just a simple thing.
Three questions,
and you do it every week.
And the trick with it is,
is you have to be in some way, shape or form and-
Naked.
No.
Yeah, I was thinking that too.
When you're doing it, you're both nude.
I'm like, I'm in.
It's vulnerable, I guess.
You're taking it a step back, and you know what?
Sometimes it has gone into the nakedness,
but you have to be touching in some way.
Look at the holding hands.
And to do that,
I think you need to be touching in a way
that you can't hide.
So it's quite a confronting thing.
When you do it every week.
Naked items actually does that on Sundance.
It does.
Maybe that would spice it up even more.
So the relationship I'll check,
the three questions are,
what's going well in our relationship? Okay?
Second question, what do we need to work on?
That's quite often the tricky one.
And the third question is,
is there anything I can be doing better?
Do you do that thing where you touch foreheads
while you do it?
I remember you used to do the forehead to forehead.
So we started out doing touching foreheads.
That's nice.
And so you'd do it in bed.
So, and it sounds weird, I know, it does sound weird.
It doesn't sound weird to me, I think it sounds really nice. But when you're in bed, so and it sounds weird. I know it does sound weird to me
I think it sounds really nice, but when you're in bed, and you're doing this
And it's a weekly thing you put your heads together
Oh, that's weird and your foreheads are touching and you ask the three questions what's going well in your relationship
But then you breathe. I don't like breath. Post brushing teeth. Okay, you gotta do it after brushing teeth
Yeah, you have to have your teeth brushed. Never do it in the morning. No, what?
Yeah, so Clint I'm just gonna come over to you and I'll just do you a straight.
Oh, are you going to do forehead touching? Okay, he's walking over. Don't make the sexy
music Clint, that's on you. You've made it weird now.
Dan requested it.
He did not. Okay, so their foreheads are touching, they're kind of nose to nose.
What's going on?
You need to move the microphone. The bed needs to come down, the microphone needs to be closer.
Okay.
Can you breathe through your nose?
Because I can smell your breath.
What's going well in our relationship?
Um...
Be honest, Clint.
Be honest.
Don't be vulnerable.
Oh, you make me laugh?
I like how you really trust me with all your buttons.
Thank you.
Okay.
I think you could work on, you know, being a little bit more supportive of me
and not throwing me under the bus constantly.
I think you could chew gum before we do our relationship health check.
Okay, you're being quite mean about it now, Clint.
Well, you don't have his breath two inches from your nose.
And there you go, now Clint knows that it pisses me off
how he's always throwing me under the bus.
And now I know that my breath stinks and I could have helicosis.
And I didn't know that before we had the house check.
And you take little bits of, you know, those morsels of truths
to improve your relationship going forward into the next week.
And the thing is because you're doing it so often,
the act of doing it so often, the issues become less and less big.
Yeah.
Because you're addressing them quickly.
So at the start it's like you keep cheating on me, but then after a year of doing it it's
like, oh, you're leaving the cabinet doors open.
Yes.
Great. That's how you know it's coming good.
Yeah, the first relationship health check Hannah was like, please stop cheating on me.
So we nipped that in the bud straight away. I was like, okay, now I know. Normal women.
Fine.
I love that.
Okay, we'll give it a go. So those three questions, I'll take them home to my wife.
So that's what I want you guys to try tonight.
Go home to your other halves.
That's a great idea.
Put your heads together.
You don't have to do that though.
Like just some sort of form of intimate touching.
I'm going to say dance and we both had to be nude holding hands.
You can do that if you want.
No Jamie.
Okay.
And then just report back.
And if you're listening at home and maybe you want to try this in your relationship,
I'd love to hear some audio of you doing it as well.
I'd love that too.
I'll record me and Adrian doing it.
And yeah, no, he wouldn't see it.
Their relationship out at the JK.
Just wanted to double check.
Yeah, yeah, I was like, hold on.
We got two times homework.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
Win $10,000 right now with the Edge 10K.
The money.
Kia ora, good morning.
I'm Jamie.
I'm Jamie.
I'm Jamie.
I'm Jamie.
I'm Jamie. I'm Jamie. I'm Jamie. I'm Jamie. I'm Jamie. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Win $10,000 right now with the Edge 10K.
The Edge Money.
Good morning, two past eight.
Let's see if we can make you $10,000 richer.
Give us 10 answers,
starting with the letter hash.
Gives you in 30 seconds and it is yours.
The rules are no double ups.
And you can pass if we've got time, we'll come back.
I think you can get away with one pass.
Once you start hitting two or three of them,
you're gonna have to start moving pretty quickly
to get there, I think.
Playing easy money this morning is Evie.
That rhymes.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Morning, Evie.
All right, let's kick it in the guts
and see if we can make you rich.
Evie, I just wanna make sure with you first,
because I did this with Dan,
and he got really stuck on my other questions,
because he just couldn't quite understand.
When I say a describing word,
you know what that means, right?
Like a word that you would use to describe something.
Or someone.
I don't know if I passed English at school.
I can't say describing.
You and me both.
It turns out.
He really struggled.
So yeah, describing word would be like,
if the letter was like G, which it's not,
a describing word would be like gregarious or gentle or greedy greedy you describe
Describing an animal there
The animal is a noun yeah
What's that I said, it's a gorilla
Describe the gorilla you say oh, it's a very gentle gorilla. It's black, it's hairy, yeah whatever. Okay. Okay all that to say Evie good luck. Today my sweet your letter is F, F for fun times ahead.
Yep sounds great. All right can I please have a four letter word?
A describing word? Funny. A TV show? Friends. A mode of transport? Fishing
boat. A musical instrument? A flute. Something you can study, fishing and I think there was another one earlier as well.
No, because you were going so well. And fish, you used fish, fishing boat and then fishing. Are you a fisherman? No I'm not.
She's mad for a fish. Yeah, repeated answers. We could have played it out but it was... You were doing really well. She was, she was doing very, very well.
It's better than letting her think she's won the 10 grand
and be like, I'm sorry, according to my calculations.
Yes.
Thanks for playing, Evie.
Back again at three o'clock with Ed Jarbo.
It's another chance to have a crack at it.
Someone else who's been failing is our Dan,
just recently with something that he used to be exceptional at and we wonder if he's lost his mojo.
Well, he hasn't started failing, he's just having a bad run.
Thanks Ash.
Just a blip, you know, he'll be back soon but yeah.
It's a blip and my near perfect record really, let me be honest.
Yeah, he's so good at this thing and everyone was talking about it. I would say he was going viral. And then something changed.
People are talking about me for the wrong reasons.
What's the patch? What colour is the patch?
Do you know when you're in a green patch?
And then you're in a black patch?
What patch is when he's having bad luck?
Maybe it's dry patch.
So it's like brown.
I think the Warriors actually as well are in one of those.
A brown patch?
It sounds like a Shepard song.
No, green patches with the grass is luscious.
Yeah, no actually yeah, you are in a brown patch there.
Dan, you are the best at it mate, and you have been the best at it for a long time.
Hit it, hit it folky!
Hit it.
Hit it spot.
Woah.
Yeah, you know what, you know when you're given a gift and you don't know you're gifted until you use the powers?
When the time comes in your late 30s when you think I'm a failure at everything, but no
Something happens and makes you realize I'm good.
I just wish I was as young as Superman when he found his powers
Unfortunately I'm a little bit older
Your Danza's been able to sing along to a song and then when the song disappears
He can keep the time of that and then come back
Perfectly in time with the hook and the chorus.
Even when Guy Sebastian came in last week he said I want Guy to do one of my songs
because I love Hit the Spot.
Yeah I know and god I failed in front of the guy.
Yeah it was tough to watch.
Like literally he came in I didn't know he was there.
I did it, it was a real shocker.
He was standing right behind me.
It wasn't a real shocker.
Yeah even though you know we've heard it a few times.
This battle's gone!
But if we look back you know um so even as far as like last year and early this year
um there have been times where you have not missed my friend. Let me try like a goddamn vampire.
That was one of the first we did.
You are one with Olivia Rodrigo.
That was amazing.
And you know, on Instagram,
these get like three, four, five million views.
Mm.
They roll.
The Taylor Swift one that he nailed
and people were like,
please tell me this guy's not married yet.
Like stuff like that.
Just women swooning over down.
I had to go through all the comments,
be like, this ride's closed, I'm so sorry.
Every single one.
Yeah, yeah.
You look on their profiles first
to see how hot they were.
Just to double check, yeah.
Yeah, just to make sure you know.
You never know.
Yeah, a few others didn't go so well.
Love me.
Try to challenge Celine,
which would have really disappointed you.
I did, that was like,
and I, keep in mind as well,
I practise a lot of these, like,
I don't just do it straight away.
Whenever we set you a challenge,
you work so hard, it becomes your full-time job.
Like, just like 24-7, you're practising,
you're practising, you're practising.
Which is what makes it so heartbreaking for us
that at the moment, you are in a bit of a rough patch.
I am.
And you know what, it's starting to get to me now.
I've sort of, you know how Liam Lawson
was kicked out of Red Bull Racing
and it's kind of got into his head.
It's the same with me.
Now I'm like, I am a failure.
You know, I'm not talented.
Look how far out you were with Sally
when the wine runs out.
Cold like Minnesota, harder than a fever.
Sally, Sally.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
I knew we were meagre.
I knew we were fast.
I did blame meagre on that one
because we were all doing it that time.
Actually, that's true.
We were all giving that one a go,
so that wasn't solely your problem. Is there something going on in your life that you
feel like has I don't know put you out? I can't think of anything. It's just it's
one reason or another you've lost it. I've just lost it and I can sense that
there is some sort of wacky thing you guys are gonna do to bring my mojo back
or something along those lines I know what you're doing.
We want to help you. Yeah, so we're going to do this this week. I've lost my mojo.
The fact that I called that is unbelievable. It's how predictable you guys are. We're going
to get your timing back, buddy. Predictable that we love you and we want the best for
you and we want you back on top. We want to figure out what we need to do to get you back there because, you know, like,
you're a Kiwi champion and, you know, you're bringing the nation together with this.
Yeah.
And in these hard times, we need a hero.
And Ash, true or false, almost hitting the spot is not hitting the spot.
It's either hit or not hit.
Okay. Because of how close you are. What happens if I'm just grazing the interest?
Doesn't matter. You can be on the precipice and still 0 out of 10. What if I'm just a really good kisser?
What's that got to do with the singing? I don't know where you've gone with that. I'm as confused as you are listeners.
Alright so this week we're going to make it our mission to get Dan his timing back
So that you can actually still say that you have the skill because maybe now we started to think it was a fluke all those other Time I don't want people to think that I don't need a kinesiologist. We need Reiki
Do we need to get your auras read your shock quiz?
I think you need all of the above. Okay, just throw it all out of the acupuncture needles
You do it all at the same time? Yeah. Why not? Okay. And at the very end
and we feel like you're ready to redeem yourself, we'll choose the song. Okay I
will do this for you guys, I will do this for New Zealand, I will get my mojo
back and I will hit the spot again! Yes! Come on! The good old days.
Let me try like a goddamn vampire.
Oh, wow.
That thing feels better.
Oh, my God.
Like a balm to my...
to soothe my aching joints.
Yes, the old saying.
Yep.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
The season is over, which, to be fair,
I didn't even realise they ended.
And I'm not talking about the Warriors.
We did have a bad loss with a minute to go.
No, Greyhound Racing, they have a season and it's ended.
Yeah, I saw some facts and figures over the weekend
that really shocked me,
because I know that we have outlawed it now in New Zealand,
but there's a 20 month grace period.
Wind down. Wind down.
And that was what, last December?
Yeah, so it's been what?
Nine months? Nine months since then,
so we've still got another basically year to go.
But yeah, this shocked me.
So this season alone, 17 deaths of greyhounds in New Zealand with 800, 800 dogs injured.
They shouldn't even be 800 dogs racing!
That's what blows my mind.
We had Honey, our greyhound, my husband
had her for many years and then I got married and she became, I was her step mum. So when
you know a greyhound, you know that they don't want to be racing. But one thing that happened
in Australia a couple of years ago, and we all kind of celebrated in New South Wales,
who is one of the states, it was banned. And then the state government overturned the ban.
And it's now still happening. And this is a very, very, very sore point
for a lot of dog lovers in Australia.
So I'm hoping that the same thing doesn't
and can't happen here,
because I think anything we can do
to protect these animals is always, always a wonderful thing.
Interesting, because we were talking about this off here.
You were saying that the greyhound that you owned
wasn't desperate to like sprint anywhere after you, because I would have thought maybe it's just in their nature and that's why they
became racing dogs and how it all started.
In a sense yes they are like they're very fast like their bodies so they are good at
chasing but our honey girl so her race name was Planet Mercury and she had two races.
The first race she came last and the second race she was scratched Mercury and she had two races. The first race she came last and
the second race she was scratched and then she retired to become our girl and
I would say and I had a heart on you know I swear on her her grave honey
would sleep 22 to 23 hours a day. Yeah right. That bitch did not want to be
disturbed. She wanted and I fed her feed her human-grade food. She just LAZED about a small walk, but the second she did her wee or a poo, and if she did a wee
like 20 seconds after we left the house, she just looked at me like, alright let's go back.
Let's go back!
And she cuddled back into her little, into her, you know, her orthopedic bed that I got her.
And you correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard a lot, and you will probably a great testament to this,
Greyhounds are great pets.
Beautiful, she gave, I'm gonna start crying.
She was the most so obedient, loving in her own way,
not the kind of dog who'll come and sit on your lap
and lick your face, but she's there.
She's a constant, I'm such a good girl,
never any trouble, so clever, and they're really great apartment dogs. People don't realise this. You think, oh, you'm such a good girl, never any trouble, so clever,
and they're really great apartment dogs.
People don't realise this.
You think, oh, you get a Greyhound,
you need an acreage.
No, no, no, no, no.
They do not want to race.
They do not want to run.
They want to rest.
Well, you'll be preaching to the converted with Daniel,
who's from Greyhounds as pets,
who joins us on the show this morning.
Morning, Dan.
Thanks so much for giving us your time.
Good morning, Tim.
How are you? Good.
So I'm guessing you take these dogs that have been retired for whatever reason and then
you find new homes for them.
Yeah, that's right.
So Greyhounds as pets is the oldest and largest Greyhound rehoming charity in New Zealand.
We work with Greyhound racing.
Yeah, we take these dogs when they're adopted and match them into homes.
Matching is a big part of it. Obviously, Honey landed really well with you guys and
that was probably because she was well matched. So, you know greyhounds.
She just needed someone lazy like her and we were the perfect people.
Yeah. Dan, what do you think are the biggest
misconceptions people have about greyhounds
and adopting greyhounds?
Well I think you kind of hit it right on the head there earlier is that people think that
they're very boisterous and that they need a lot of exercise and actually nothing is
further from the truth. They're just so lazy. So lazy. I can't stress that enough. They will snooze
20 hours a day. Easy. So they are very interested in doing things. The other thing is that Greyhounds
do tend to be incredibly affectionate and loyal because if you think about it, this whole world, this is all new to them. And so, you
know, you're a part of, you know, the beginning of this whole journey of discovering the world
for the first time. And they become like Velcro dogs, my dog, he's gone now, but I couldn't
even go to the bathroom without him trying to nudge the door open just so he could watch
me because he never wanted to have his eyes not on me.
Yeah.
I remember they wouldn't, Honey didn't know what a microwave was, there were so many things
and you know, and they'd grown up dogs and they're scared because they're like, I've
never seen that, I've seen, you know, like my, because they have a very small world when
they're in training and racing.
And that breaks my heart that they have lived this life of like just bread to race and they
don't know that love.
Yeah, that's why GAP's so important, Greyhounds as Pets, because they get a second chance
at and when we do want to say there are so many, there are trainers out there who genuinely
do love these dogs and they're so good to them.
I will say that my dog's trainer used to check in with me regularly asking for photos.
You know, he really wanted to know.
He actually, he got in touch, he saw a picture of my dog Cyrus in a newspaper walking in
a parade.
And he's like, I knew right away, I knew right away from his like cocky prancing that it
was Cyrus.
Cocky prancing.
Okay, how many dogs you got currently looking for a forever home at the moment Dan?
Well, there are quite a few so
with the end of Racing or the intended end of racing coming
There are I think there's
around
2500 dogs at the moment
25 that's incredible
Oh my god, I thought you were going to say 25! That's incredible.
2,500 dogs will need homes.
Alright, well, dog to 3343.
We've made it nice and easy and we're going to bounce back the website and then Dan hopefully
we'll end up getting in touch with you and the other 2,499 others.
I can't stress it enough.
They are the best.
Once you're a greyhound person, you're a Greyhound person forever
because they really are just like giant, lovely cats.
If you want to weigh in on it,
because I know there are people
who are in the dog racing world
and then there's other people
who are on the other side of it who have adopted,
we'll open up the phones for your comments.
You know, because a lot of people on TikTok
got a lot to say.
Yeah.
You want to jump on the phones by all means.
I went under the edge.
Greyhound racing season is over, but it will continue in New Zealand until this time next
year when it becomes banned throughout New Zealand.
Although Australia banned at once and then you were saying Ash, just before that ban
became enforced.
It was reversed.
Yeah, look, the gambling lobbyists in Australia are very, very powerful powerful So it was a small win and it was very quickly overturned and it was yeah for people like me who you know
I don't want any animals to be raised for money was pretty devastating
Yeah, so we just spoke to Dan from Greyhounds as pets a New Zealand organization apparently what 2500 Greyhounds?
Need homes need homes over the next year or so because the greyhound racing has been ended in New Zealand.
Because of the welfare of dogs that's why they ended it.
Yeah and I think there are people being like why don't they just ban it right now and I think
that's the reasons because they need time to start housing these dogs before they just stop it.
And there's a lot of people who's you know livelihoods are part of this industry who love this industry who
believe in this industry like don't get us wrong and we've got one of those people on the line now.
Taylor, you're from the racing industry
and you wanna call out to kind of give your opinion.
So we'd love to hear from you, mate.
Hi, thanks for having me.
Of course.
I can definitely understand both sides
from people that want to ban it
and people that don't want to ban it
coming from the industry.
But I think there's so much that isn't known about the industry from the outside world.
Like these dogs are so, so loved and so cared for.
Like happy dogs win races.
And that's obviously not the only reason we keep them happy.
Like they deserve to be kept happy.
They're beautiful dogs to work with.
You know, and it's such a shame for people in and out of the industry
that they don't know this, know that side to them.
So I think if people sort of had a bit more insight, you know, there's lots of
Facebook pages and media pages and everything showing the lives of dogs, but
it's just really hard when people say, you know, they don't know about the
outside world, but these dogs had so much exposure since they were like, you know,
from birth and been so well cared for. That's sort of why they make such good
pets. Obviously half of it's their nature as well because they're all beautiful in nature.
And I think maybe, Taylor, you're right, you're one of the good people, but unfortunately,
like a lot of things in life, stuff is ruined by the people that don't treat the dogs right.
Yeah, you've got to admit, Taylor, there are some rogue trainers out there that's...
And that's what makes the media...
Yeah, we see the dogs winning, but we don't see the dogs that are bred and aren't good
enough to race and then what happens to them?
100% no, that's totally true. It's the same with every industry and I think when you're
working with animals obviously we're in charge of making sure that they have the best life
that they can have and yeah there's definitely people that let the industry down which is
a shame but like these...
I think the industry needs more people
like you. Yeah we can hear that she really does love Grace. But I mean the facts and
figures speak for themselves 17 deaths just this season alone and 800 dogs
injured. And I cannot stress this enough we know that there would be so many more
greyhounds killed that it's not happening on the tracks it's happening
in backyards it's happening like backyards, it's happening,
like she said from Dodgy Trainers, and yes there are so many people who, they love these
dogs, but I mean I am biased, I do not think animals should be raced for entertainment
or for money.
And so we said 2500 dogs need to be given homes over the next year or so, so if you
want to look into that and you're a person that really loves animals and you're willing
to give your time to a dog that's been a Greyhound racer then text dog to 3343
He's been doing that for the last eight or nine minutes just looking at all the
different dogs on the edges make sure you treat them better than you did your
fish. Yeah no so there's Harry he's got pointy ears like a German Shepherd I'm
taking him with me Bubba is a four-year-old female she's a fun-loving
excitable girl who thrives on human interaction.
I'm going to take four of them home with me today.
Four greyhounds!
It's almost as many flatmates as you've got, one each.
And I think you have to give them the time
because it's a dog and it's a pet.
They look cute and all that sort of stuff
but sometimes people get a pet
and don't think of the consequences of owning that.
Someone's texted and said,
but humans race for money.
Yes, but humans can decide whether they want to race or not.
And they can speak up.
They can speak up and say, I don't want to do this anymore.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
We're asking the question, when did your kids scam you?
And the older they get, the better they get at this.
And they do start early.
They're smarter than you think they are.
So recently, my son is turning four in September,
so we'll call him three and a half year old.
And...
Good for you, by the way. We'll call him three and a half year old. And good for you, by the way.
We call him three and a half, even though really he's like going to be four next month,
as opposed to saying he's like 48 weeks or something.
Yeah, no, no, no.
I'm sorry, 54 months.
And I'm like, don't make me do the math.
I think once it's like a year and a half, you stop the month.
Yeah, you just go two, two and a half, three, three and a half.
You just round him up or down.
So he's three and a half, he's nearly four
and he gets night terrors and I'm pretty good with him now, like I'm all over it. It can
be really terrifying if you're a parent that has a child with night terrors. But these
specific night terrors were just a bit different. They were going on for longer. I was starting
to get a bit worried. He wasn't quite himself, not very lucid. Now going for a while and
he'd had three in one night.
So I called up the line, what's it called, Plunkett,
and they said, oh, you should take him to hospital.
So I said, okay, so it's-
Well, they always do, and I think it's a safer thing
to do, isn't it?
Yeah, then saying he's fine and then saying that happens.
At least the waiting list wouldn't be too bad at 3 a.m.
You'd think, it was absolutely bloody packed.
Oh no. There were so many people there.
We're sitting there, the bright lights, I've got a headache.
He's, you know, like, acting up, but we're're like, we're in a hospital, we need to be in, this
is where we need to be. So it's been a, they check him out at triage, he's fine. He's sitting
there cuddling daddy one hour, two hours and he sees a kid with ice lolly, like what are
they called? Ice block. Yeah. And he looks at his mum and he's kind of on ice block.
And I was like, yeah, no worries. They call the nurse over, so could Buddy have an ice block too?
Yeah, of course.
And then, so it's probably four a.m. at this point.
And then she brings over the ice block,
gives him the ice block, he unwraps it.
Takes a bite, looks at me.
I'm fine now, Mummy, let's go home.
Brilliant.
I'm fine.
I'm fine, I'm fine.
I wanna go home, I'm tired, I wanna go home.
So we take him home.
And then a couple of days later, he's like, Mummy, I think I need to go to go home. I'm tired. I want to go home. So we take him home and then a couple of days later
He's like mommy, I think I need to go to the hospital. Oh my god
He's like I want an ice block
He now is just like every couple days he's like yeah nah I'm pretty sick
I'm gonna get one of those ice blocks. They totally scammed me
Now you don't know when he's crying wolf and when he's not
I tried to explain I tried to tell him the story of the boy who cried wolf.
And he's just like, can I have an ice block?
That's just a story mum, that's not true.
That's not true, give me an ice block lady.
And kids are smarter than we think,
they're so often scamming us.
I know, I don't know if George is at the age yet
where he can scam, he's only a year and a half,
he's still little, but I know you've been scammed.
Oh, Clint.
Yeah, my daughter I think is kinda like my wife.
I think she can turn the waterworks on when she needs to.
I mean, my wife did it.
The first time she ever shocked me by it was when we,
long story, accidentally bought a timeshare in Vegas.
As you do.
And we had to try to, so that we could get free tickets
to a Ventriloquist show.
Anyway, we don't have time to explain all that,
but my wife tried to get us out of it,
and she just burst into tears,
told the person that she'd lost her job
and we finally she wouldn't be able to afford it now.
And I'm, I even started believing it was such a good performance.
And we got out of it, long story short.
But my daughter, I think, has learnt the skill from my wife
and I think she can turn it on.
And then I'm a sucker because I'm wiping away her tears.
I'm giving her a hug.
And then I want to give her the thing that she needs
because that's the only thing that will stop her feeling awful.
Yeah, I mean, if you can turn on the tears, actual tears,
that's when you know you've got an Oscar winner.
Which any child can. It's infuriating.
So give us a call or send us a text.
How's your child scammed you?
Or tricked you? Or they've done the thing
and you know that they're doing the thing
and you know that they're only doing it because they want the thing
and you give them the thing because you're a big're doing the thing and you know that they're only doing it because they want the thing and you give them the thing
because you're a big old sucker.
My mum used to give me the temperature,
like if I didn't want to go to school,
I'd be like, oh, I feel sick,
and she'd be like, well, the temperature gauge
will check it.
And so, but she'd give it to me
and then I'd go and put it inside my lamp upstairs
so I'd heat it right up, and then I'd take it down
and be like, oh my God, I've got a real temperature.
It's probably showing like 57 degrees or something.
You can't, you can't. Bloody hell, you have got a temperature.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, straight in the ambulance.
Yeah.
Can I have an ice block?
How did your kids scam you?
A lot of these people,
I think parents get scammed a lot with kids.
And like you said before, Ash, the older they get,
the better, the more crafty they are.
And do you know what? This happens to me.
It's hard when the grandparents get involved in the scamming.
Someone's texted through,
my kid called my mother, her grandmother,
and said she was hungry because I hadn't cooked her any food.
So her grandma rocked up with KFC.
Oh!
I'm hungry. Mum hasn't cooked. She had cooked.
That's the classic going to, like, mum asking for something
and then she says, no, go to dad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like that, eh?
What about this one?
My daughter, I heard she farted in an elevator,
then looked at me petrified, and as the doors open,
I said, don't worry, and then I took the blame for it
and said, sorry, excuse me, I shouldn't have done that.
That's a smart kid.
That's how you should do that for your daughter, though.
They've got the scamming age of like a 20 year old.
Yeah.
That just sounds like great, but I mean,
good on your dad.
He's just taking one for the team there.
Take the hate.
Also, you don't want people to think your daughter's
walking around farting.
Yes.
That reflects worse on you than if you've done the fart.
Girls don't even do that, I don't think, do they Ash?
I do, yes, I believe they do.
Yes.
Yeah.
There was a friend of mine at school
and they got their mobile phone confiscated from their
parents and it was like, I think they took it off them for like a month, which is a nightmare
for like a teenager.
And he saved up his pocket money and just purchased another one from the supermarket
and didn't tell the parents about it.
Oh, a burner phone.
Just a bit.
So he, it was like 17 and he had a burner phone because he just saved up pocket money.
Oh my god.
We've got some friends who found their teenage son's
burner phone and they said,
we're not gonna go through the phone,
we respect your privacy,
but if you mess up again,
your grandma's coming over and we're all gonna sit down
and your grandma is gonna look through your burner phone.
Texts.
I'd surrender everything.
Text, apps, photos you've taken.
And he was like,
oh, anything, I'll never be naughty again.
Yeah, absolute nightmare getting'll never be naughty again. I'll never be naughty again.
Absolute nightmare getting told off by your grandma.
God, I mean, never had a burner phone,
Eva, I didn't even think to do that when you're like,
you know, like 16, 17.
Oh my God, can I read out that?
No, you can't read it out.
We just had a huge truth through that.
Oh my God.
I did a half-
Don't say anything.
I did like a half-reader that text and and thought that's not what we're talking about.
The text has just come through that...
Producer Carl's got his hand up.
No I didn't have my hand up, no I'm just talking with them now.
Nah, just...
I think we'll just...
That is...
A huge Truthbooth update has come through the text line.
Yeah if you've heard the the truth booth in the past,
there's one in particular that got a lot of chat
and we wondered if we'd ever get an update on the scenario
and if they'd ever come clean and tell their partner.
Looks like they have.
Wow, this is huge.
We need to get that person on.
Yeah, we need to have a verification,
we need to have a producer's meeting,
we need to play a song,
do whatever you need to do and clean.
Okay.
Oh, it was the update we were hoping for, but we never thought we would get
for a truth boost story for the ages.
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 OnlyF Podcasts, that is.
