This is a podcast from Rover.
You're easily offended.
Keep listening.
We love a challenge.
This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Take the edge off your early morning commute.
With Clint Meg and Dan.
Edge.
Good morning.
It is 1 to 6.
Oh, on your Thursday.
Good to be here.
Feels like it should be a Friday though, doesn't it?
Just with all the short weeks we've had.
Oh, I see what you've been.
I've got accustomed.
Clint's living from Friday to Friday at the moment.
I'm worried for him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think he needs another.
holiday which is really concerning.
We can't do that. How many do you have a year?
Left?
Yes.
I'm not sure I haven't added them up.
We're going to break in July.
Yeah. Africa's October.
You go to Africa?
Oh, that's right.
Yeah. A bride's paying for my wife to go over to do here and make up.
What's the July one?
It's a cruise.
And then you were thinking about going to Bali?
We were going to go to Bali because that's because producing EPA and Cal are going on a
boys trip and Dan and I were out drinking with them and we thought we could maybe just do
like a four day or a little.
I feel like you don't know Dan at all.
If Dan, on the moment, said,
yeah, I'll go to Bali for a few days with the boys to drink and do whatever.
Yeah, he got me when I'd had a couple of ginger beers.
But you said, your wife said, you know what?
You need to get out more and do things for you, Dan.
And is that barley with the boys that are single?
I think if I came around and said I was going to Bali next week,
she'd be a bit gutted.
Yeah, I think she'd be a little like, that's not what I meant.
She'd redacted her last statement.
She'd be like, go and do a competition of some little kids with your race cars.
That's what I mean.
Oh, no, that's already booked it.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
And when you say race cars,
that makes it sound way better
than what it actually is
and it's remote control cars.
It might unlock something in you, Dan.
Valley could be good on you.
Oh, right, yes.
Get a bin-tang singlet
and we'll get a couple of mopeds.
That sounds delicious.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, let's do it.
Okay.
Coming up today, another Dan's diary.
Another chance to win a thousand dollars
takes to Prezzi card.
Yeah, if you want to know when we're doing that,
I'll make it easy for you.
It's about 20 past seven.
So if you've registered
by texting we had mum to 33-4-3.
We could be getting your mum on them.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
It's time for a little coffee catch-up,
a little whip around and see what each other's been up to
since we last caught up yesterday,
less than 24 hours ago.
Yes.
Wasn't that long ago, was it?
Nope.
I've had to explain to my son
how the dating game works
and the rules around it.
Yeah, no.
Now, how early you're having to have these conversations now?
Wow, this is kind of like surface stuff.
I'm not getting like real deep into it,
but sometimes my kids use my phone
because I have messenger kids.
And so your kid can message their friends
after school for play dates and things.
But it's all like protected and stuff.
Yeah, you have to accept the kid
and you have to be friends with their parents
and all that sort of stuff.
So you know who they're talking to.
They can't delete messages.
So whatever they do post,
they have to be accountable to.
Anyway, someone's used my phone yesterday
and said he wanted to message someone,
I'm messenger kids, so I was like, okay.
So then afterwards I check it and see what he's up to.
And he's messaged a girl, and he said, he's been messaging back and forward.
Hey, girly.
Hey, girlie.
Hey, girlie.
That's a good lie.
That's a good lie.
Oh, I like that.
Just wondering, if you, do you like me?
You still know.
God, straight to the point.
Oh, God, he's got gumption.
Hey, girly.
And then he got a response.
Yes, kinder.
And then it came up, he-he, thumbs up.
Oh, no, the he-he makes me think that she does.
Oh, she's just nervous to admit it because you're always nervous because he could be asking to go,
well, I don't like you, pig.
You know, it's happened.
Oh, you don't want to come on too keen by just going, yep.
You know, that's too keen.
Definitely.
Definitely.
Yes, yes, without doubt.
The last thing he's written before he went to bed is don't tell anyone at school because I just want it to be between you and me.
So, wait, are they dating?
Oh, God.
I said to him, why don't you want her like,
telling anyone. I'm trying to understand
his psyche behind his messages.
And he was like, well, because of
so-and-so and so-and-so. And he mentioned
a couple of other girls.
And I was like, what? Like, you don't want... He's cheating
at nine?
Oh, God.
I was like, wait, well, you don't want
her to find out that you're missing.
And he goes, yeah.
And I said to him, no,
like, Ty, because I don't know if he
has, like, girlfriends or crushes.
And I was like, you can't have...
You, like, can't have three.
girls that you like.
Girlies.
He goes, he goes, why not?
And I go, well,
girls don't like that.
When they know that you like them,
they want to be the only person that you like.
But that's why I told her not to tell anyone,
Dad, you're an idiot.
And we're not exclusive.
That's why I told her don't tell anybody at school, loser.
Oh my God, Dad, don't you get it?
So I'm literally trying to explain to him why he can't like three.
Well, it's hard.
You can like three people.
God knows his dad does.
But then I'm trying to teach him if he commits to one as a boyfriend-girlfriend.
But then I can't explain what commitment is and how much do I want my son to commit at nine.
You know, like, so.
He's just putting his finger in many a pies.
Don't use that at all.
No, is that wrong?
So I'm just kind of like, you can like multiple girls, but if you're messaging one
and she thinks that she's special to you, you can't tell her to keep it quiet while you,
message another one and say she's also special
to you. I would confiscate the phone.
Really? I'd be doing no phone use.
Yeah, but then he doesn't learn
anything because I've just taken it away from him.
There's a learning opportunity for him.
I mean, the real learning opportunity is
when all the girls do find out.
True. That's the real learning opportunity.
Maybe you just go, go for gold, just do what you want.
And if shit, it's the fan, you'll realize
how bad it can. He's like the Tiger Woods
of the school. Yeah. Everybody's on.
Well, I just know it's interesting that he wanted to keep
it a secret. And I thought it was because he didn't want his
mates like teasing him and stuff if they find out
that then he realised, no, he doesn't want to say
anything because there's another girl that he's
also talking to. Going on boys, his
mates are not teasing him for having three on the go.
They're high-fiving him, if anything.
No, it's good. It's making sure that you're
proud of who you're with if, you know,
and not making her feel embarrassed about it.
I see what you're doing. Yeah, yeah.
Well, it's also not limiting his
mind by telling him that he can only ever
like one person ever. Like, he will
be different things about different girls
that I remember there's one guy he liked, and I
asked him what he liked about her and it was really sweet.
The first thing was that I've never heard her yell
and she's always kind to people.
I was like, it's a great reason to like someone.
And also, she's got red hair dad
and that's really rare.
Oh, he likes rare.
Honestly, when I was... Like a rare Pokemon or something.
When I was...
Playing go home, stay home.
Girls had cooties.
Yeah. And I was climbing trees.
To be honest, I was doing that at about 15, so I can't tell.
That doesn't really change.
No.
First call of the day next.
I'd love it to be you.
800 the edge and we'll chat to you on the other side of this.
Maybe you're a parent who's gone before me who has kids older than nine.
You can be my canary down the mine.
Let me know how to navigate this new territory I'm finding myself in.
Yeah, just start telling you that girls have kudis.
That worked for me.
It's the edge.
Clint Megadden.
Lesh-co.
First call of the day.
First goal of the day.
The school of the day this morning is Shenzis.
Shency.
Hello.
Hi.
Is that your name?
Shency.
Chelsea?
Shansi.
Shansi.
Oh, that's a lovely name.
Yeah.
Is there a meaning behind Shansi or is it just a bit of fun?
No, my mum just made it up.
Oh, good on it.
Is it two names together?
A lot of people do that, like an uncle with an auntie?
No, no, I don't think so.
Yeah, what would the two names be to make Shantzzy, Meg?
Shannon.
Yeah, and...
Yatzi.
Yatzi.
Right.
But he's just a real fan of the game.
Yeah, Jartzi.
Chatsy.
So you've been in a relationship for eight months.
Congratulations.
Yep.
They just moved in together actually a month ago.
Oh, so you moved in after seven months.
Some would say that's very quick.
Who asked who?
Did you say, can I move in?
Or do you move in with me?
Somebody had to move out somewhere.
Yeah, yeah, well, we had to, I had to move out where I was living
and so it kind of just made sense that we joined forces and, you know.
We've heard that story before.
It's always what happens if somebody has to move out and then it's,
What's the best part of living together and the worst part?
The best part about living together is getting to be with him every single day and give him a kiss good night and not have to text him good night.
Oh, that's lovely.
What's the worst part though?
There must be some stuff here.
It's definitely interesting finding, you know, like male and female living together, female brain and male brain and like hanging out the washing and goes like this, you know?
Don't peg them like that
It leaves marks
Yeah
Yeah
And I think living
When you start living with someone
And you see all their bad stuff
Hey
Like you having to do their washing
You having to do
You know like cooking
Oh you see
Yeah yeah
You see like whether they're good
At these little bits and box
Yeah
Yeah and you realise if you made a good choice
Or a bad choice
But I mean has your partner lived with anyone before
Um yeah
Yeah
Yeah
He was a solo dad before that
So he's kind of quite you know
He knows his stuff
He's pretty good.
So that's tricky because now you're trying to undo bad habits that somebody else might have taught him.
So anyway, you'll do it.
You'll work it out.
Yeah.
And this morning, and you work at MPD service station, and you make coffee.
You're the barista there.
Yes, I am.
Okay.
How many coffees do you think you'd make in a day at a service station?
I imagine there'd be quite a few.
Oh, it's a rural service station, so not that many.
Not as much as I'd like, actually.
Oh, do you do that thing when, like, people come in and you go, get it, Rob, just the usual.
They don't even have to tell you what they want.
Yeah, definitely, definitely.
I get quite a little.
I feel like there's people, though, that say that, and they go,
you know, just get me usual, and you're like, I don't know you.
Do you know what I used to have that when I want to find out like just my usual?
I don't remember.
I think that's a risky move for you to say just my usual.
I can't.
That's for the barista to say.
Me, just your usual.
Yeah, I know, but you can't say it, right?
No.
I feel like my mum's on those people that she'll walk into a place and be like, they know me.
Yeah.
Speaking of the I don't know you, remember that time Dan called Hilary Barry and she said this.
I don't know you Dan.
Oh, right.
It's my favorite thing.
They will have red thread my brain for the rest of my life.
I don't know you, Dan.
I don't know you, Dan.
Far out.
Way to kick me in the guts, Barry.
Jesus Christ.

Clint Megan Dan
Stinky Buzz scandal
Harry Siles has announced his next
single Dance No More
clip on his Instagram
with I'm guessing what's going to be the music video
So it's going to be the next single.
Okay, good.
I like this one better than the other couple.
Then Paneteer, Panternary.
Yeah, from Heroes.
Yes.
Yes. Oh, yeah.
Blonde girl.
Yes, yes, yes.
She has just come out as bisexual, saying,
it's sad I had to wait until I was 36 years old to share that part of me,
but better late than never right.
Good on her.
All thanks to Moody, buy a Moody Protein Bullfire,
find a golden ticket with $5,000 cash.
942.
Edge.
The Edge. Clint Meg and Dan.
Just see, you are really heroes.
when that came out, that was like massive.
I was obsessed with that show.
She's also, yeah, she was in a few things.
She was in the cheerleader movies.
Yeah, she was sort of like that it girl for a while
and then sort of went away a little bit.
Yeah, great actress.
Oh man, now I just want to play that Jason Derulo song.
About being bisexual?
No.
Man, it's one of his most underrated bangers.
We need to do a show trip to see Duralo when he comes to New Zealand.
Yeah, we're going to have to.
We do love him.
September?
September.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, more or less is up next.
Different topic every morning.
We just have to guess if the first option is more or less than the second.
I think Clint's going to be the expert in this one.
We're coming off the back of a perfect score.
Clint Megan Dan, more or less.
Hopefully you learn something.
Let's see if you can get a perfect score.
You just have to guess if the first option is more or less than the second.
Any final guesses on what the topic could be since I said it's your specialty, Clint?
I thought it might be just Megan Fox facts.
It isn't.
Is it to do with charity one?
You think you're better at that then Dan?
What's that?
Charity work?
Oh, you don't know.
I just don't make a song and dance about it, Clint.
You're the one that goes, I just donated $100 to the children.
You're always telling us that you're out at the, what is that?
Orphanage.
Hey, I'm going again this afternoon.
Yeah, see.
You're always telling us.
You brought it up.
Right.
No, it's on world records for exercise.
Oh, I do love a world record.
The more stupid and obtainable, the better.
It's sad to me that you would think I did that.
Which is more, the longest held time for a plank or the longest time held for a walt sit.
I'd go the wall sit.
You would think that'd be easier.
I have seen people plank for like 24 hours.
No, you haven't.
Well, maybe I unofficially did.
I'd go with the waltzit then.
Okay, I'll go with my mate, Dan.
Yeah, Walsit, 11 hours and 51 minutes, somebody sat in a wall sit.
You are under-restorating me in my knowledge of fitness.
That's why I go to the orphanage.
I do the fitness.
Oh, do you run the fitness for the kids?
Because that's what they need when they don't have a mum and dad.
Someone to take them through their paces and get them on an exercise bike.
Yeah, run them to run the fun runs and stuff.
Yeah, good.
Okay, most skips in an hour with jump rope or most jumping jacks or star jumps in an hour?
World record.
Wait, in an hour for jump rope and in an hour for star jumps?
Yeah.
Oh, skipping, for sure.
You can skip.
Way more.
I wouldn't have gone with that.
I would have gone the other one, but yep.
Jump rope?
Yeah.
Yeah, 12,000, but only by 100, 11,900 for jumping jacks.
Wow, you think you could skip a rope faster than you can do a jumping tag?
I guess once you get a bit tired, it's...
All right, burpees or squat jumps?
So squat jump or burpees up and down?
Burpees are the worst.
I hate burpees.
Nah, burpees take too long because you could go up, then down, then out, then back in.
So I'd say, less burpees.
Okay, so squat jumps more in a minute?
Correct, 50.
God, he is good.
If somebody did 47 burpees in a minute.
What?
That's probably Carl's mate, Jordy.
Dan, can you do one?
He owns anytime fitness in Christchurch
Yeah, I can do one
Oh, you're 45
No, he's a burpee
I'm not gonna do a burpee
Dan
That was Clint
That's disgusting
Right
Pull ups or chinups
Pullups or
Chinups
I don't really know the difference
But I thought you would clip
Well I guess pullups is overhand
Yeah
And chinups is under
Just for the chin
Um I would say
Most in 24 hours
Jesus
I'd say
Pull ups
No, chin-ups
9,250
God, you were so close to a perfect score, Clint
He was, and the final one, let's see if you can bring you back
Headstand or handstand, longest held
Hit stand or handstand?
Well, surely head, because if you're on a hand,
you're using all your, like, shoulder muscles and stuff,
but if you're on your head, then you're also supporting your body weight.
But that would also be very painful, and you're using your neck muscle.
But you're using neck and hands.
The other ones, you're just using hands.
Okay.
I say headstand is longer.
No, handstands.
What?
Eight minutes, one, six.
the longest handstand in the world.
That is amazing.
That was seven minutes, 50 seconds.
Yeah.
I can't even do a handstand in a pool, let alone.
What's this?
Oh, I love those competitions.
I reckon I could do...
Go on.
You think you could do...
Seven minute headstand.
Yeah.
I think it's probably the blood rushing to your head, which would do you in.
Yes, he could do it.
The fact that he...
Oh my God.
The confidence in the man that he thinks he could break a world record
just without any practice.
Just do it now on the radio.
I don't think it'd be good for me.
Carl, our producer's not nodding his head.
He wants to see it.
The thing about that at Carl is it's very visual,
and this is a radio media.
Much like Dan's orphanage thing.
I could do it.
I just don't need to tell everyone about it.
Yeah.
Oh, finally we had a whole studio full of cameras.
Yeah.
All right, so what, three from five is a pass,
but it's not an excellent run, was it?
No, it wasn't good.
No, no, no.
All right, a few stories.
We need to chuck on your radar next with what you got coming up.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
A few stories that we'd like to chuck on your radar for,
What are we today?
7th of May, Thursday.
Ozzie's been naughty, naughty, naughty.
Ozzie have supposedly been spending more money on drugs than groceries in a new news report.
12.4 billion on illicit substances over the last year.
Wow.
Compared to 11.6 billion on fresh produce.
That is absolutely insane to hear, Clint.
What the hell?
And then you wonder how they, how do they measure?
how much money people are spending.
I know they test the waters and all the rest of it and stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah, supposedly 12 and a half billion on illicit drugs,
11.5 billion on fresh produce.
That is like quite a staggering figure, isn't it really?
Yeah.
Straight out.
Mental.
Some really exciting news, especially for me and you, Dan.
The sale of fireworks to the general public could be banned
of a parliamentary committee's recommendation is adopted.
New Zealand First is promising to push cabinet towards a ban.
Dan and I, and I know many of you as well,
hugely against fireworks
when you can do them in your backyard
for the horses, the kids,
the animals, the wildlife,
all of the bad things. Even the fires,
the firefighters that are terrible.
The people, and there are too many, unfortunately,
that ruin it for everyone else. Like, we took
some fireworks to, like, a park
and, like, put some stuff down, had our
water bucket, lit some fireworks, just
a family, put them all away and
put them in the bucket and left. The next day,
when we went to the park to throw a ball around,
there's just fireworks all through the park,
because people light them and just walk off and just leave their rubbo.
Yeah, people can't do it properly, unfortunately.
It is going to ban it for everybody, and I am so for it.
Yeah, I think it is a waste of money, and, like, there's nothing better than just going to a public one.
And I think...
They'll do more public ones if you can't buy them as a personal thing.
100%.
All go on the beach, do a bonfire, watch the fireworks.
Yeah.
There's a survey that's been released of the causes for people's stress in 2026, and a lot of them are the obvious stuff,
like, you know, the noise around, you know, there's lots of bad stuff going,
on in the world. Unpredictable weather.
Obviously the war, fuel crisis, all that sort of stuff.
That's all very high on the list.
But one of the things that surprised me with one of the number one causes of stress within
people is clutter in life.
Oh, wow, really?
Yeah, and that's not just to do with like physical clutter, but also brain clutter.
And whether you're at home and your house is a mess, whether your brain's a mess,
and you need to sort of like organize things in your life.
Look at that.
We're doing a promo called Take the Edge Off that's starting on Monday
where if you want to take something out of your brain and declutter,
we can pay for it, make sure you go to the Rover app,
or Texas 33443.
That's so true because I feel the most stressed
when I have to find something that's in the spare room,
which is my wife's office.
And it's not really an office or spare bedroom anymore.
It's literally a dumping ground for anything that you go,
where does that go?
And I can't even move around in the room anymore.
So we shut the door, pretend that room doesn't exist.
And that's funny because 41% of New Zealanders have clutter in the home
and want to improve the way they organize their house.
You can't relax, right?
You walk in and as soon as you walk in it's like, I can't.
There's too much going on.
Yeah, I totally understand that.
I'll leave that room, shut the door.
I mean, I'm like visibly more angry and stressed.
And my wife would be like, did you go into the room?
Yes, we need to sort that room out.
I just, I hate knowing that that is in my house.
Well, the good news is we're going to talk to a psychologist next,
who's going to give us some ease.
easy tips, some like bite-sized things that we can do to improve our stress levels.
Right after this.
Clip Meg and Dan.
Dan was just telling us about a bunch of things that cause us stress.
But one surprising, or maybe not surprising thing that's in the top of the list for many, is clutter.
And so we have psychologist Kirstie Ross to tell us a little bit more about the study that was done, Kirstie, around clutter,
and how many of us are finding it stressful.
There was some recent research by MIT-10 that came out that talked about
41% of people really focusing in on organisation, storage in the home.
So once upon a time, we were thinking about in COVID times,
there was a lot of thought around renovations.
We were at home for quite a long period of time,
so there was the ability to do that.
And now people are thinking about how do we organise what we already have?
And there's function in that.
A, there's a practical thing that we can keep hold of things
that could be useful in the future.
not in a way which then becomes unhelpful
and that you end up with so much stuff.
But we are innovators.
It's part of our national identity.
And when you've got things on hand
that you can make use of around the house
and you know where those things are,
it does give you a bit of a sense of security,
especially if there are things that you're not sure
you might be able to purchase because of cost of living
or it might not be available anymore.
That's so crazy, Kirsty.
I just finished the attic yesterday
and by I mean a couple of contractors.
And just because clutter in my life is so stressful.
And I just wanted to get it all organised and up in the roof
and just declutter the house because I think when things are in their place,
might just be my OCD and my personality.
But I find myself way less stressful when I'm in a place that is way more calming to be in.
Absolutely.
If you came to my house, it would have a lived-in feel,
but there is order to how things are.
And that means that when we have structure and order,
we know what we've got, and that's reassuring.
We know the things around us,
and in times of stress to know what we've got is quite helpful.
It also enables us to really think about things
that we might want to have around us
that are more emotionally significant
and that have some sentimental aspects to it.
So when we keep things, there's usually a practical reason
or there's an emotional reason.
It's a connection to something from the past.
I feel like I'm getting free counseling
because I think my wife holds on for the emotional
and I get rid of for clutter
because I'll be throwing stuff out
and she starts freaking out
and it's my favourite thing, just throwing stuff away
or giving things away.
As it is a guy thing, I get stressed with clutter as well
but Hannah, my wife, she's fine with it.
Well, so more storage, putting down your phone
because otherwise then just the doom and gloom
we're just imbiting it into our minds.
And is there any others that we can sort of work on this week?
I think we have what's called a window of tolerance.
So people's window of tolerance, everyone's got slight variations.
But it can be very slowly affected when you have lots of little things
that keep pushing you out of your window of tolerance.
And what can happen is when people are continually pushed out of their window of tolerance,
you'll notice it in headaches, digestive problems,
just being more snappy around other people.
One of my key tells is I get really infuriated when I can't find a car park,
which is so ridiculous, but I just feel personally, where is the car park that I need?
And it's so irrational and I'm like, oh, I'm obviously quite stressed now.
So when you have that slow climb of stress, but then it becomes consistent,
we actually stop noticing it after a while.
So don't wait to feel stressed.
Every day, think about actually offloading some stress.
stress, do some good relaxation, do some nice activities for yourself, connect with people in ways
that are meaningful and helpful for you. It's a bit like what physiologists say, once you're
thirsty, you're already a bit dehydrated. Once you're feeling stressed, you're probably
actually quite... So be proactive, almost sort it while you're happy or when you're not stressed.
It's a psychologist Kirsty Rose. Let us say how we can de-stress our life. Speaking of, though...
Edge Breakfast with Clint Megan Dan.
There is a list of songs that came out.
the top 10 de-stressing songs.
I didn't love the list.
I thought we could probably do something
a little bit better after seven.
Yeah, we could make our own list
because there's some real kerb balls on there.
Lincoln Park for de-stressing.
See, this is where we're going to go wrong
because I quite like those angry songs
but de-stressing.
So my suggestion's going to be angry songs.
If I go to some sort of like retreat,
stressed retreat and they're playing Lincoln Park.
Oh, different kinds of stress.
I guess it's different kinds of stress relief, right?
I want some enya.
You want a what?
No, that sounds weird.
What is that?
You want to be...
Oh, is that an enema?
You want to be enya.
Oh, you want to be in ya.
No, okay.
Come on, man.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
All right, running through to all the end of this week,
if you haven't registered your mum, you still can.
Text mum to 3343.
But Prezy Carter helping us give back
with a gift that's all about your mum.
Morning Sonia.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Welcome to the Clint Meg and Dan show.
You were the mum of who?
I'm the mum of Gracie and Zach and Chevy.
Okay.
You're already emotional.
Yeah.
I know.
I'm wondering what's going on.
Okay.
Well, one of your children has nominated you for being a fantastic mum,
and they've written something into me,
so I'm going to read it to you now, okay?
Yep.
And the rest of New Zealand, you've actually had to shorten it down because we'll have to send you the whole thing, but it was very in depth.
Here we go.
Dear Mum, I am so grateful to be able to spend another year with you.
From the moment I was born, there was a constant sense of comfort given to me just by your presence.
And for as long as I can remember what comes to mind when thinking of you is the love and support that you've always had for your family.
I am not sure how to thank you for 26 years of unconditional love in just a few paragraphs, but I'll have to give it a try.
try. Every day that I don't see you, I miss you. This one's got me. You really are my best friend.
Thank you for being the best nana and for getting up early and helping me with the kids if I've had a hard
night. You lighten the load of everything so often for me and I'm so grateful for it.
Thank you for showing resilience through even the toughest of times. Without you, I could not have
been able to handle the hardships that we have gone through as a family. You have taught me to stay
strong under challenging circumstances
and I have always admired your strength
and I owe everything to you, mum.
I can only dream that I'm half as good.
Mum to you as
to my own kids that you have been
to me. I wish there was
a stronger phrase to express the amount
of love I have towards you, but I love
you so much. Happy Mother's Day.
Oh wow, that's a good one.
Oh my God, that's so beautiful.
That is from your daughter,
Gracie, Morning Gracie.
Good morning.
Oh, you read that so beautifully, me.
So, Grace, we have to see the whole thing.
Obviously, I had to cut a lot of it out in the end because you...
I was going to ask you to do that too.
I actually forgot to write happy on the mother's day.
You did too.
I fixed that for you, don't worry.
I told you she's a good reader.
I've got that.
Yeah, I would not want to be Gracie's siblings right now that I was good one.
Do you know what Gracie did for mum?
Yeah, we're never going to be able to do anything that good.
I know that you've been through.
You said some hardships as well as a family.
Yes.
Yeah, we have.
You lost your brother as well.
A bit of a sad time for mum as well as a habit to mine,
so we always try to lift her up a bit more.
Oh, that's good.
Well, you lost your son on Mother's Day or around Mother's Day?
No, no.
Just in general, I guess.
He lived his own life, yeah.
He lived his own life in 2011, 17 years old, so pretty hard.
Wow, so 15 years on, and I get it, it still feels like a,
I imagine on Mother's Day it'd be incredibly hard to be missing one of your children.
So Gracie has nominated you for all the strength that you're shown throughout your life
and still, you know, we've gone on with being an amazing mum.
You've won a thousand dollar presi card.
Oh, wow.
To spend on yourself and also something from GIF station, we're going to spin the wheel and see what you get.
Yeah, because we worry, Sonia, that you might spend the money on others.
She's terrible for it to the grandkids.
All mums are.
They are.
Okay, you've won yourself a $500 hair health and beauty card,
which I believe there are lots of things,
places around New Zealand that you can spend at a gift station
so you can get things just for yourself to pamper yourself during this time.
Thank you so much.
Oh my God, Gracie, you're so beautiful.
I'm so touched by that.
That's so gorgeous.
You've made my mind.
mother's day a million times over.
Thanks, guys.
That's so cool.
You're so welcome, guys. Oh, that's so nice.
There's not a dry eye
in the studio. Oh, I don't think Clint's crying.
He's an awesome.
Cold.
Gold, nice.
Art of concrete.
Someone has to hold it together. We're all just crying
here, not sure what we're doing.
Everyone's like, okay, guys, can we play something?
That's got to be, oh man,
just to lose a child is
got to be, I think, one of the most incredibly difficult things.
Any human can never deal with in their entire life.
Hopefully something, you know, we never have to understand.
And I'm so sorry that Sonia has to.
Yeah.
You'd never get over it, would you?
If you want to register your mum, you can text Mum to 33443.
And we'll thanks to Prezy Card.
We could be spoiling her tomorrow.
The perfect gift for every type of mum.
All right, we'll take a sec.
And pull yourself together, Mick.
Come on.
We'll get it back.
Jesus.
Next.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
And here we go after finding out that,
Mark Ingalls, may or may not have been our guy, the mountaineer,
who caught frostbite on his willy.
We move on, and we have a brand new episode of Dan's diary
that he put to paper at roughly about age 15, 20-odd years ago.
Before we get into this episode,
oh, just quickly remind you what has been happening in the past.
He, dad has been speaking about going, choosing his career.
You wanted to be an actor, a singer, a detective,
Olympic medalist runner, or a New Zealand idol judge.
Yeah, I covered a lot of basses.
You did indeed.
So a bit of information there before we get into it.
Sit back and relax while we dive into it, Dan's Diary.
The Careers Expo was not that good.
Surprise, surprise.
Wasted my time.
Absolutely nothing about acting or singing.
Plenty about plumbing and electricians, though.
Not my cup of tea.
Don't want to crawl under the house?
They do say get a trade under your belt before you go and pursue an acting career.
You were not bothered with that.
No, I was like, I don't need a backup.
Yeah. Oh no, I did get some info about joining the police.
But then I found out that police started on a wage of 50k per year.
Not enough.
Top actors get 50KK per show.
Oh, God, what a cocky little...
Exclamation mark, exclamation mark, exclamation, ma.
Do they really? Like, theatre performers?
On Broadway and stuff, I don't think so, no.
No. I think that. I did, obviously, it was very naive.
Yeah. You were like, you went up to the little police stand.
Yeah. Okay, I'll learn about this. I don't want to be a plumber. What is it?
50K per year, no thanks.
I'm going to be famous.
Yeah.
I'll stop you there.
Point me in the direction of the Broadway stand, please.
Oh, God.
I know if I keep doing shows, I will be on Broadway within five years.
I know I have the drive and the passion.
Yet here I am.
That has an age well, isn't.
That is an age very well.
I know I have the drive and the passion.
Nick farted on the bus back to school.
Got told off by the driver.
That's classic Mick.
It wouldn't have been the perfect crime.
But we started laughing when she yoused.
Who was that?
It stinks.
I had happy tears running down my face.
I also had a footlong subway for luncheon and three cookies.
If yeah.
What a day.
I would have been so depressed after, you know, not finding my career,
but then that would have cheered me up on the way home, the bus.
and the subway would have helped
Oh, I loved a bit of a meal
A foot long and three cookies
That's a big meal
Isn't this funny?
There is a little bit of memory of the subway
that day but not the careers day
In the back of my brain
I remember they had like a platter
And you could choose all the different ones
Pre-made
That's so funny that
Meg wanted this song as a kicker
Because I've got a story that really ties and relates to that
After being caught in the act
It's next on the edge
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast
I'm hoping my wife's busy getting my kids ready for school
so she's not listening to this.
Would you be in trouble if she hears it?
Yeah, she's a contractor, so she does really like all over the place hours.
And obviously with our hours, starting very early in the morning
means that we find ourselves with a bit of free time sometimes in the afternoons
before school pick up and stuff at 3 o'clock.
What would you do with that free time?
A bit of housework, run some errands.
Yeah.
Do some gardening.
Yeah, you can do a little bit of that.
Yeah?
Um
Sort of, you know, the finances
My wife was stressed
And I said, look, why don't we
I said,
Why don't,
Um,
you relax and I'll give you like a message.
Oh God,
he's good,
and he?
Oh, man.
Oh, he's good.
God,
he's good.
And guys,
and guys,
most of the time
when we say we just want to give you a message,
that's,
we mean like initially
we just want to give you a message.
Oh, I don't.
No,
obviously it goes,
we hope it goes that way.
Dan, but we don't start the message out with that intention.
There is just no rest.
You can a hand on heart say that you went into this massage
completely selflessly.
Yeah, I had intentions for that, Dan.
Yes, I wanted to be that guy.
Just on behalf of every other guy in a country, that's bullshit.
Okay.
Okay, she's in a concert.
No, I genuinely was like, this is,
I just want to de-stress you and give you a massage, right?
Why is your nose growing?
The situation over like, you know,
over 10, 15, 20 minutes, it can change, obviously.
20 minute massage.
Oh, make sure she was really de-stressed.
Anyway, we have these like...
Jamie's listening, by the way.
Yeah, by the way, Jamie, she's texting, I'm listening.
Is that my Jamie?
Yeah.
Play a song, click.
Oh, yeah.
No, she's never going to let me massage.
We have these blinds and you can like pull them so they either go up or they angle down.
Oh, yes, I know the ones.
Yeah.
And I mean, obviously you want to, now I realize you want them to angle down.
Is it Venetians, aren't they?
Is that what they call?
Kind of, like wooden blinds.
Because if they're angling the other way, I guess in my haste to make sure I was massaging my wife
and then realize that I still got to get the kids, I've pulled the blinds the wrong way.
Right.
So that means anyone that's walking past can look.
down the Venetians into the bedroom
instead of looking up into the ceiling
so my wife generally...
So the blinds were going down.
Yeah, so if you're at height...
You're standing up, you can see...
You can see down into the bedroom.
And all of a sudden...
And your room is directly onto your...
The front door where there's a path
where if couriers, which my wife loves to order stuff,
come through, they'll end up walking right past the bedroom
and as I hear like footsteps and stuff,
All of a sudden it's like freeze.
And then you're like, oh my God, who is it?
Who is it, whatever?
And I'm like, I don't think they know.
I don't think they hurt us.
We were silent enough.
And as they put the package on the ground.
Can I just quickly pop in here?
Your kids are also listening.
Oh, gee.
We can be cryptic.
We can be cryptic.
We can be cryptic.
So I'm thinking, I'm like, babe, bab, babe, they didn't see.
Because anything like that, my wife, I told you this was a bad idea.
Told you.
And then as they were all past and things.
I was like, it's all good.
They didn't hear it.
They heard nothing.
Yeah.
And then I hear, yeah.
Get it, team.
Sky rockets in flight.
Woo!
Hey!
It turns out the blinds weren't the only thing going down.
No.
Kids, turn the radio off.
Wow.
Hey, we were cryptic enough.
Well, they had a story to go back to with the boys.
Crew drivers must see some stuff, man.
Oh, yeah.
God, because they unexpectedly just show up at people's houses all the time.
And not just that kind of thing.
I reckon they see other stuff that they shouldn't see.
Illegal stuff.
I want to know what did the courier walk in on.
Oh, if you're a courier?
Yeah, sure.
You just let us know what you walked in on?
You know what they say the police get better work stories?
No, couriers, I reckon.
I've got it.
He skipped all the way back to the van probably.
Oh, he was a story full that day.
Didn't get his signature.
Yeah, no.
Thank God no signature required.
A lot of money for that particular.
particular mhm
est tape
yeah no track and trace that day
oh 800 the edge
Clint Megyn Dan
Oh my gosh
I'd love to know what did the courier
Walk in on
Or perhaps you are a courier
And you've walked in on many of things
But there's one story that comes to mind
That you'd like to share with us
I don't know
Do you have to have a code of ethics as a career
I know if you're like a lawyer
Or a policeman you're probably a buy by one
But not if you're a career driver
Remember I'll producer Brock
He used to be a curie didn't he?
if I could tell a story on his behalf.
No, he used to see some stuff.
He saw some stuff, didn't he?
Yeah, that's all I could say.
He doesn't even go inside to get the package signed for, wouldn't he?
Yeah, and I believe he would be a repeat, you know, courier customer.
People just order nothing.
He'd be it and turn up.
He was a bloody good courier.
He was a very good career.
No signature required on those deliveries.
No, no.
Right.
Right.
M. Morning.
What did the career walk in on?
So I have a small business
I make wax melt
I do this so that I can win tickets
Haley Live which is happening in October
I started a fire
I believe this is probably something from them
that they say you will win tickets
if you get on another radio station and promote it
Yeah
Well done him
I like the hustle
Well done
I was going to say call us any time
But it depends what you're calling about I suppose
Yeah that would break
So you may as well plug the business while you're here.
If you want their wax melts.
Or is that a lie, just an illicit lie to get through?
A jellywax melt business and bath bombs and body stuff.
All right, okay.
All right, hey, well.
I'll go and check out, um, sweet as sense.
But hold on, you, you've never seen, a career has never seen you do anything.
You've just caught up and wasted about three minutes of our time.
No, we start a fire on accident.
Oh, right.
Also, they're like saved the house.
Yeah.
She's like, I don't want to do it in garage.
Hey, Embo, you can love them and love us too.
I will.
Okay, thanks, babe.
She's like, I'm well.
She's like, well, you guys got me what I wanted.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, Brooke.
Morning Brooke.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Brooke.
Hey, Brooke.
Hi, yes, I am a courier.
Also, you've seen some stuff.
What are a couple of things you've seen that you shouldn't have?
Well, the most common, and it actually happened yesterday,
is people answering the door naked.
It happens so often and you just think,
you don't know who it is,
why are you answering the door with no clothes on,
but it happens a lot.
And the other thing is people using a specific illegal substance
that has a specific smell to it.
Yeah, right.
And you can smell it from a mile away,
but there's a few times I've walked in and witnessed it.
And they just, they don't know what to do with themselves.
It's not, I'm not the cops.
It's all right.
Okay, telling anybody.
It's all good.
Like, are we talking full nude, like everything out?
Yes, yeah.
And they sort of, like, hide behind the door.
Some people just open it wide open,
but half of them will, like, hide behind the door.
It's like, you could have chucked something on at least.
Yeah, I reckon the people that are opening the door wide
and just letting it all hang out are, like,
weird. That's weird. Or they're
wanting something. Well, another courier's
messaged, Brooke, and said that
oh no, sorry,
a courier walked in and saw me flashing my boobs
to be fair, I was just finishing breastfeeding, and I had
four under four.
You know what? Fair enough.
They said they never looked at me the same.
Also, when you are breastfeeding, you become
really desensitized, that in the end they become like they are just feeding
bags. Yes. So to me, I remember
I would walk around the house naked all the time.
And my mum even was like, me, please.
top and I was like I just they
became so desexualized
I went over to see me actually fully nude
but she didn't even but when I came in she still was nude
worried and happy
as she said the house that she delivered to
last week must have been celebrating something because
I walked in and there was lots of clapping
I see
good on them
yeah all right
hit the spot is returning this
week we'll talk more
about this next and how you can take the edge of
your life inside the next two
can make you down
Afternoon delight
Clint Megadden
Let's go
Hit it
Hit it
It's been a minute
Yeah it's been on a break
For about a month
For no reason
We usually just find
We need to find like a little bit of a reason
To do it really
Don't we sometimes
But I think we've got the perfect reason
Yeah
It's a big weekend
Yeah Mother's Day
This weekend
Mother's Day's on Sunday
And
There is a lot of songs
That can loosely be tied into
Why the mums?
Like mother's eyes?
Yeah.
That's it.
I can't imagine I hit the spot with this stuff.
Hell of a jam.
Mitch James did a song,
Mama and Me,
which is great for Mother's Day,
but it didn't probably get a lot of airplay.
Beautiful song, though.
Broods,
obviously New Zealand Music Month at the moment.
Another great brother-sister duo.
They did mother and father.
Doesn't it all these keyhees thinking about their mums?
Yeah.
This is a great song, actually.
He had this moment, didn't it?
But I don't know if it's a hit the spot type song.
No.
I mean, I do have an idea in mind of a song.
But I'm willing to be swayed.
If anybody has a song that they've always gone,
you know what, this would be a perfect hit the spot.
Four Mother's Day?
Yeah, I mean, it could be loosely, like we can find a loose tie-in to a mother's thing.
It has been a minute since we have done hit the spot.
I think the last one we did was a hit.
We hit the spot.
But we have had recently, of late, a few minutes.
as well, haven't we, Clint?
Yeah. Sally, when the wine runs out,
I mean, we have to put our hands up for that as well
because it was a bit of a group effort.
We didn't nail it.
She can be a diva, cold like Minnesota, harder than a fever.
I mean, we were way off.
That's probably the furthest we've been off for a hit the spot ever.
This one, was it?
You've even had the old false starts too.
I would like a ring, I would like a ring.
We're like a big and shine.
Oh no!
That was a shocker.
There was even a swear word in there.
Hot to go, you smash that.
Touch your toes.
Raise your hands now, body roll.
H-O-T-T-O-G-O.
And the Celine Dion one was, I don't think, could have been any closer.
That was the last time we did it.
She unfortunately didn't see the video or comment on it, though.
No, she didn't.
No, we're still waiting.
I mean, there's still a chance.
She did comments on Harrison's video, his dance video.
Yeah, yeah.
So she sort of...
Good clothes.
I mean, people are suggesting
do another selenia
and we can't do two selines in a row.
Not for Mother's Day.
What do you thinking for Mum?
You keep saying loose tie, loose tie.
How loose is the tie you've found?
Mum.
Yes.
Ford and Sons.
Lion Man.
Now here's the tie in.
They were in New Zealand just last weekend.
Yes, the Tyon is loosely
Mumford and Sons.
And I think Mumford and Sons.
And I think Mumford and Sons.
is a band that a lot of mum's love.
Yeah, I used to hear.
It's not that loose.
And the song, Lion Man, has the perfect hit-the-spot moment.
In fact, if I can nail it, it is,
A, one of the hardest moments,
because there's about 30 seconds of lead-in before they hit the spot.
And there is, it's an epic moment if we can hit it.
So I'm going to pitch it to you next.
And you can maybe be the judge, you listening.
Oh, 800 of the Edge 3, 3, 4.3.
And I think Megan Clint, you guys need to be the judge as well
to see if it's even possible.
I've been practicing over the last 24 hours
to see if it is even possible.
It's very tricky.
Okay, all right.
Well, I mean, Mama Mia was another missed opportunity.
Somebody's texted.
Yeah, that's a recent hit.
Mother's Day.
Dear Mama, your favorite rapper?
Oh, yeah.
Tupac.
Yeah.
Without a cancer, didn't he?
Someone else said chop suey by Smith the Down.
I don't know why that's about.
All right, let's break it down next and see if it is the perfect song or not.
Hit it.
Hit it, hit it's spark.
Dan's going to attempt to hit the spot with the song
that he wanted to tie into Mother's Day being Sunday.
You asked for suggestions.
A few last minute ones.
Lucas Graham.
Jonas Brew is another one.
Yeah, Mama, don't stress your mind.
We're coming home tonight.
Clint's thinking about beer.
Jonas Brew.
But you're still pretty set down on your mum, fit and sons.
I mean, it's a hell of a banger.
They were in the country over the weekend.
And it's a mum song, isn't it?
A lot of moms love the Muppet and Sons.
They do, and they recently went and saw them live.
Yeah.
So it's less of a time of Mother's Day and more that they're in the country.
Just less than a kid.
Well, break it down for us, because show us your vision of where you think this song will work.
Because that's the thing, you can pick a great song where doesn't necessarily,
it's not a great hit-the-spot song.
There's a moment in the song where it breaks down, and there's not actually much singing,
and there's zero lyrics.
There's humming and aering.
Have a listen.
From here.
So from here.
From here.
So I'm doing this.
You'd pull the music down for about an hour.
So I'm going along.
It's a long.
It's about 32 seconds.
I think you could do some harmonies.
I mean, I did think maybe you guys could join in from about here.
Oh, no, maybe not.
Six, seven.
Okay, Larry.
I can feel the chills already.
If you can do this
genuinely, this would be your best year, in my
opinion. If you can pull that off, because I think
that is extremely hard. Now, I have
been practicing over the last sort of 24 hours,
just toying with the idea. Haven't
hit it once. Okay.
There's still time. You still got another 24 hours.
So when am I bringing the music back up?
I think not.
Or not. Yeah.
It's not your fault,
but my bag. Oh. Yeah, okay.
Right.
This would definitely be the hardest.
And I think when you bring it up, you've just got to bring it up full tilt.
Just as loud as you can bring up.
So Clint, don't stuff it up because you know that if he gets a wrong, he blames you.
Actually, that's a good one, Meg.
We stuff it up.
It's clintz's fault.
People don't understand the pressure, actually, of that role of bringing it back up
because Dan, literally, as he's singing, just does white eyes at me.
Is it like, now?
Which is hard because he wears sunglasses.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, I do white eyebrows.
You just see my eyebrows raise over the glasses.
All right, and so I've got to make sure I don't stitch you up
because he could be in time
and if I bring it up too slow.
That's why I need to stop having Botox.
Yeah, when was the last time you had it done?
Quite recently.
Okay.
We'll work on a new signal.
Yeah, or no sunglasses tomorrow maybe.
Books by Boomers is back.
Coming up next, I've got Maribel Morgan.
I haven't read her book in a very long time.
She started the segment.
She wrote The Total Woman.
I read that out a couple of years ago,
if not older, maybe four years ago.
She has another book, or she released
in 1977 with tips on how to make your husband stop smoking.
So I thought if you are in this situation,
maybe they're vaping, maybe they're smoking
or doing some sort of habit you don't like,
I will give you Marabelle's tips on how to nip it in the bud.
I wonder how that's aged over the last 50 years.
I think of Meg's reading it out, not well.
Yeah.
All right, so this time tomorrow hit the spot.
Yep.
Okay, after eight.
I just need to practice. I'm staying late after work today.
Good.
About time.
Yeah.
It's the edge.
Meg and Dan
StinkyBug
Meg seems to like to go to
Op Shops and find books
that were written back in the 70s and 80s
and see how, I guess,
how they've dated over the last four to five decades.
Books by Boomers.
Maribel Morgan,
a recidivist when it comes to writing books
with kind of dodgy advice.
She wrote The Total Woman, which was extremely popular.
And what started this whole segment
because she was the woman that said
you should answer the door to your husband
dressed up in different costumes every day
to get the spark of life.
Every day. What I mean?
Costumes? Like, you know, there's a horse?
Yeah, lots of different things.
Once a week would be fun.
She also wrote another book
which I'm a reading at the moment called
I believe, yeah, the total joy.
Wait, on that, could we get Meg like a box of costumes
and we just get her to try and wear one a week
and record her reaction every time?
What do you mean? Oh, for guy?
Yeah, for her husband.
Well, if anything, he should be opening the door.
wearing a costume for me.
Oh, because he's a stay-at-home dad.
Yeah, he's to stay-at-home dad.
So where's...
All right, leave with us.
We'll get him a horse costume.
Thanks.
So she did a chapter about nicotine
and she ends up talking
that you actually should just
accept your partner for their bad habits.
Brilliant.
So she says that you should just really,
it's a you problem
saying you can either make yourself miserable
or you can accept that whatever he's doing
bothers you and that's okay.
Right, so she's a woman's woman then.
Yeah, oh yes.
But she does give you a list of things
to try beforehand.
So I wanted to let you,
I want to see if you guys had any thoughts on
if these would work,
if you had a nasty habit
that your wife wanted you to stop.
Number one, opening statement.
Tell him, I don't like your smoking.
Okay.
Straight to the point, isn't it?
It's not being around the bush there.
She says, or whatever it is.
So let's say vaping was smoking since this is from 1976.
Vaping wasn't invented.
Number two.
Once more, but with feeling,
tell him again, slowly and deliberately.
I don't like your smoking.
Oh, that's quite pushy, isn't it?
Okay.
All right, number three.
Remember, she's probably dressed up in a cute costume.
Yes, he can't take her too seriously.
She's a maid. Yeah, she's dressed up as a fairy.
Yeah, she's one of the options.
Soffens the blow and she's a French maid.
Number three, scream, I hate your smoking!
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're dressed as a lepricord.
What sort of time frame are you putting between these?
She doesn't say, Clemsome, I'm unsure.
That's important, I think.
Number four.
Cough and fan smoke.
leave the room gasping.
So he knows it's a problem.
Yeah, yeah.
There's a past, egg way.
What you've already told him three times.
Again, hard to take seriously.
Just like Darth Vader.
But anyway.
Then number five, send him anonymous cancer warnings.
Just leave them around.
So you print out articles, find them, send them from...
Stick them to the fridge.
I guess in modern times, make up fake email addresses and send them to him or fake account.
Put them everywhere.
Number six, hide his cigarettes and replace them with the candy ones.
Oh, Space Man.
Right.
Oh, God, that'll get him.
He's going to go, oh, these tastes different.
Oh, well, I'm sure they're the same.
But at least he knows his wife's a bit of a joker.
Yeah, too.
Number seven, brute force.
Snatch the cigarettes away from next time he lights up.
Number eight, frozen silence.
Don't talk to him or grants him any marital favours, wink, wink, until he stops.
Right.
That's the only one that I think actually might work.
It's hard to resist when she's dressed like a slutty witch, though.
Exactly.
Make sure you're wearing the outfit when you do that one.
In the number nine, all of the above in succession.
So would be quite alarming, I imagine.
The next chapter is if he's fat, so I'll get into that one next.
And see.
I remember if he doesn't want to change, she's got to love him the way he is.
Yes, absolutely.
But she does have a whole chapter on how you need to be thin.
So don't think that he goes.
both ways. God, she covers a lot of bases, doesn't she?
Is she still alive? If she wrote that 50
years ago? I don't know, actually. I should check.
I believe she is. I don't think she's passed away.
Okay. If you can't change
him, change your attitude, but
make sure you're thin. That's her statement.
Hey, coming up next, if you're missing
a body part, and, you know,
you're not all there. Kind of like if you're
an operation game, you know, and you just
realizing you're not a complete set, we got
the phone for you. It's the edge.
Clint, Megan Dan. If you missed it at 8 o'clock
yesterday, God, it was a real
highlight for me, maybe not so much for Dan.
20 years ago, Dan wrote in his diary
about a man who climbed Mount Everest
after losing both of his legs to
frostbite, and we've got him on the phone to
find out if that's all he lost.
A man came to speak an assembly
that had been stuck on Mount Everett.
He told us that he got frostbite and lost parts
of his body. But from what I could see,
all of his limbs and fingers were there.
Alistair told me that someone asked him what body party
lost in question, and he said, I don't like to say.
I think it was definitely his penis.
Now, Mark.
Let's put it this way.
After I lost my leg, I had two more children.
You're going to have to be more specific.
So it turns out just the two legs that he lost to frostbite, mountaineering?
Yeah.
So we're still on the hunt for that particular mountaineer.
No, I don't think he exists.
No, we're going to close that down.
Okay.
I'm going to file that away as unsolved.
But what body part have you lost?
Maybe not just from frostbite.
Anything could be a crocodile attack, couldn't it?
Yeah, sure.
Well, if it was just one of those things you were just born without it,
you'd find a cool story.
Yeah.
I don't think,
because you'd get sick of going,
I was just born without one of those.
I think anything that you've lost,
you'd find a cool story.
If you lost your leg,
you'd say a shark attack.
Yeah.
But even being born without it,
it's still a cool story, isn't it?
Like, why?
How did that happen?
Like, Sophie, you used to work at the ear.
She had a couple of fingers missing.
She did, well, no, she just had one little,
cute little one.
A little finger in the middle there.
Okay, well, you call us,
and then we're going to play a little sting,
and then you tell us what you're missing.
So, for example, if it were Dan,
it'd go like this.
You ain't got no
pictorial muscles.
Oh, bang on.
I think they are there, they're just under a lot of other stuff.
Are you missing anything, Mick?
Me?
Yeah.
I don't think I am in theory.
You're a complete set?
I'm a complete set, yeah.
In fact, I think I've got some extras.
Oh, that's good.
That's good.
Got extra stuff.
Yeah, what are your extras?
Extras.
Well, you know, I've got, like, I had extra sets of teeth,
But they got ripped out.
Oh, you're like Wolverine.
Yeah.
Or a shark or a tiger or something.
Yeah.
And yeah, extra sets of them.
But they're all gone, unfortunately.
You've got extra humour.
You make me laugh.
All right.
Oh, okay, maybe for Dan.
You ain't got no.
By Seth.
Okay, make it.
And I think I do have them again, but they're under and other stuff.
Producer Carl?
Yeah, I got one.
Hit the thingy.
Okay.
You ain't got no fingertip.
Oh, you're missing your finger tip.
Yeah, see how those are the same length on that on my right hand,
it's meant to be a bit longer.
Oh, what happened to that little finger?
I got slammed in a door when I was four years old,
and now I've just been missing it ever since.
Yeah, they happen to my mum.
She got all sewn back on.
Gosh, it's too common to get little fingers stuck in doors and stuff.
Yeah, I've really watched that with little kids.
Okay, cool, I'll tell us what you're missing.
I've got one.
Okay, you've got one.
For me.
You're missing.
I don't think it's going to work.
You ain't got no jaw line.
Oh, you do.
What if I sit up straight?
Right, but I think we're doing things.
Push your, like, face forward, yeah, like a draft.
No, more.
More?
More.
More.
More.
That's my own fault.
Oh, my head's falling off.
Oh, my head's falling off.
It's my own fault.
Speaking of extras.
Don't say she's got an extra.
Isher what?
Were you going to say chin?
No, I was not.
Cleet.
Clint.
Meg and Dan.
Mark Engel's absolute legend.
He holds a world record for the first person to climb.
Mount Everest. He might be the only person to climb Mount Everest as a double amputee.
And then after he lost his legs, he also went and competed in the Olympics and ended up getting
silver for New Zealand. And we had him on yesterday to ask him if he'd lost his diddle to frostbite.
I know. I mean, you know what? Because Dan wrote about it in his diary 20 years ago.
He was a great sport about it, wasn't he? Yeah, he was good. He was very good, thankfully.
So we'll get you on and then we want to know which body part you're missing.
You went, got no. You filled a blank.
Let's see if Emma's going to be able to do it.
Come on, Emma.
Okay, here we go, Emma.
You ready?
Top of my ear.
Top of your ear.
Okay, how did you lose that?
So I actually had a growth on it when I was about one year's old,
and I had to get it cut off in surgery.
Why didn't they just take the growth?
Bad surgery?
Well, they did.
They did, but part of my, one of my ears was just slightly shorter than the other.
Yeah.
Well, you'd rather have a little short, little,
year than the worst part
maybe passing away from the growth, right?
Oh, that's obviously better.
Yeah. Do you want half an ear
or die? Can I have 24 hours to think about it?
Yeah. Oh, good on you.
That's a story to tell, isn't it, Emma?
Is it noticeable? When people look at you, they sort of squint go,
what's going on with their face? It's not symmetrical.
No, not really. You have to look pretty closely, actually, to see it.
Okay, well, that's good. Yeah, good on you.
Yeah, that's an easy one to start. Let's see if Kristen can do it.
Kristen, ready, here we go.
Left air.
Oh, a whole left ear.
Okay, so this isn't you, though, it's your dad.
Yeah.
Because we've met you before, and I don't remember seeing no air.
Dad, not very observant enough.
I would notice.
How'd your old man lose his ear?
So when he was 10, he fell off the back of a tractor and somehow got run over by it.
Oh, my God, he must have had huge ears if the tractor over and ran over his ear.
How is that possible?
Yeah, he ended up supposedly dying.
Oh my goodness.
Supposedly.
He only lost a bit of his ear?
Yeah, but yeah, also supposedly died.
Wow.
Okay.
Well, he supposedly died or he did die?
He's alive now?
He was 10 when it happened, Clint.
Oh, so you know, like he died for a moment and then came back to life.
That's what you're trying to say.
Yeah.
Still fascinating how you're losing the ear.
I think like a job for a 10-year-old had a kid.
Yeah, true.
Good one, Clint.
You know, adoption.
I mean, there's lots of things.
different ways people do families these days.
Well, that's an incredible story.
It's like that guy, I remember this in The Avengers,
and he got run over by a snowplow he was driving or something,
and he left the break off, and he got in front of it, and it ran him over.
What's his name, Rob Renner?
No, not that one.
No, no, he's the arrow guy.
I don't know. That's a deep cut.
Hawks.
I got run over by a quad bike once, but I survived.
Yeah, you've got both your ears?
Yeah, both ears are still here.
Wow.
A quad bike's a little less bad than a tractor.
Yeah, yeah.
Nicole, here we go.
Ready?
I'll take that his ear up.
You ain't got no...
Half a lung.
Oh, wow.
Is this you?
My daughter.
My daughter has had half her lung removed.
And she's all healthy now, but as a baby, she had to have half a lung taken out.
Does she get terrified Nicole?
No, she get puffed quick?
That was.
No, not at all.
She can swim, she can run, she can do everything a normal can do.
That's the amazing and incredible thing about the human.
human body. My wife said it before. She's like the human body is over-engineered.
So like a lot of the stuff you can take chunks off it and it's fine. It'll still operate.
It's like when you lose your appendix. You know, like you can take that whole organ out of your
body and it's you can still operate. It's incredible really. Yeah. Why do we have that?
I think it was there before sort of when we're eating more meat as cavemen, you know,
like it was there to chew down stuff more. But now it's not needed as much.
Ashley just messaged saying my Nana lost her finger when she was five because her brother told
to put her finger in the old school mincer
and then he started turning it.
Who said that to her?
Her nana when she was five
did it because her brother said
put your finger in this and then started turning it.
That is, oh my God.
Her brother should be in jail.
Her MEC's headphones are off.
She doesn't want to hear anymore.
She literally took her headphones off
and walked out of the studio.
Except I'm telling the stories
and Meg's still in the room
so she's still heard her.
She doesn't understand.
She's like, I don't want to hear it though.
I don't want to amplify it in my ears.
There is a lot of these coming through
And a lot of siblings have a lot to explain
Because that wasn't the first one
A lot of people sort of not the full complete set
If you were an operation game
Someone lost a finger playing a knife game
I don't know what a knife game
Oh the knife game
Yeah, that's a risky game
Holy shit
You made it the whole way through
