Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:14 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.
Starting point is 00:00:25 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?
Starting point is 00:00:37 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?
Starting point is 00:00:50 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.
Starting point is 00:01:09 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.
Starting point is 00:01:25 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
Starting point is 00:01:36 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.
Starting point is 00:01:47 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.
Starting point is 00:01:57 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
Starting point is 00:02:10 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.
Starting point is 00:02:24 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.
Starting point is 00:02:44 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.
Starting point is 00:02:55 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.
Starting point is 00:03:14 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.
Starting point is 00:03:26 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.
Starting point is 00:03:44 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,
Starting point is 00:03:59 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.
Starting point is 00:04:13 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.
Starting point is 00:04:29 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,
Starting point is 00:04:43 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.
Starting point is 00:05:01 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,
Starting point is 00:05:28 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.
Starting point is 00:05:45 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
Starting point is 00:06:00 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.
Starting point is 00:06:16 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
Starting point is 00:06:32 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.
Starting point is 00:06:46 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.
Starting point is 00:07:01 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.
Starting point is 00:07:16 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.
Starting point is 00:07:28 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.
Starting point is 00:07:39 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.
Starting point is 00:07:53 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.
Starting point is 00:08:06 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.
Starting point is 00:08:22 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?
Starting point is 00:08:53 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
Starting point is 00:09:02 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
Starting point is 00:09:09 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
Starting point is 00:09:22 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.
Starting point is 00:09:38 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.
Starting point is 00:09:55 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.
Starting point is 00:10:13 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.
Starting point is 00:10:29 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.

Starting point is 00:12:47 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.
Starting point is 00:13:05 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?
Starting point is 00:13:21 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.
Starting point is 00:13:34 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.
Starting point is 00:13:58 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.
Starting point is 00:14:15 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.
Starting point is 00:14:32 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?
Starting point is 00:14:45 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?
Starting point is 00:15:03 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
Starting point is 00:15:13 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
Starting point is 00:15:24 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
Starting point is 00:15:32 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
Starting point is 00:15:45 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.
Starting point is 00:16:02 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.
Starting point is 00:16:13 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...
Starting point is 00:16:25 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.
Starting point is 00:16:36 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.
Starting point is 00:16:47 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.
Starting point is 00:16:59 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.
Starting point is 00:17:21 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.
Starting point is 00:17:41 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.
Starting point is 00:17:56 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,
Starting point is 00:18:15 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
Starting point is 00:18:31 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...
Starting point is 00:18:51 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.
Starting point is 00:19:12 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.
Starting point is 00:19:37 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.
Starting point is 00:19:56 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.
Starting point is 00:20:17 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,
Starting point is 00:20:34 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.
Starting point is 00:21:02 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.
Starting point is 00:21:29 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
Starting point is 00:21:49 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.
Starting point is 00:22:08 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.
Starting point is 00:22:37 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.
Starting point is 00:23:00 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
Starting point is 00:23:15 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?
Starting point is 00:23:32 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,
Starting point is 00:24:08 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
Starting point is 00:24:44 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
Starting point is 00:25:07 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.
Starting point is 00:25:22 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?
Starting point is 00:25:38 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,
Starting point is 00:25:52 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.
Starting point is 00:26:08 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.
Starting point is 00:26:21 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.
Starting point is 00:26:49 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
Starting point is 00:27:33 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
Starting point is 00:27:48 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.
Starting point is 00:28:06 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.
Starting point is 00:28:20 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,
Starting point is 00:28:37 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,
Starting point is 00:29:00 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.
Starting point is 00:29:32 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.
Starting point is 00:29:51 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
Starting point is 00:30:06 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?
Starting point is 00:30:21 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?
Starting point is 00:30:37 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.
Starting point is 00:30:50 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.
Starting point is 00:31:07 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.
Starting point is 00:31:27 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?
Starting point is 00:31:47 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...
Starting point is 00:32:08 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.
Starting point is 00:32:27 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.
Starting point is 00:32:44 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?
Starting point is 00:33:03 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
Starting point is 00:33:26 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
Starting point is 00:33:40 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
Starting point is 00:33:54 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?
Starting point is 00:34:16 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
Starting point is 00:34:27 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?
Starting point is 00:34:35 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,
Starting point is 00:34:44 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.
Starting point is 00:34:55 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.
Starting point is 00:35:17 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...
Starting point is 00:35:37 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.
Starting point is 00:35:59 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.
Starting point is 00:36:19 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...
Starting point is 00:36:35 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.
Starting point is 00:36:56 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.
Starting point is 00:37:11 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.
Starting point is 00:37:23 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!
Starting point is 00:37:32 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.
Starting point is 00:37:48 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.
Starting point is 00:38:03 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.
Starting point is 00:38:22 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
Starting point is 00:38:35 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
Starting point is 00:38:47 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?
Starting point is 00:39:00 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.
Starting point is 00:39:16 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
Starting point is 00:39:32 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
Starting point is 00:39:50 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.
Starting point is 00:40:13 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.
Starting point is 00:40:30 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.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Okay, Brooke. Morning Brooke. Morning. Morning. Morning. Brooke. Hey, Brooke. Hi, yes, I am a courier.
Starting point is 00:40:52 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.
Starting point is 00:41:15 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.
Starting point is 00:41:37 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.
Starting point is 00:41:56 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
Starting point is 00:42:13 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.
Starting point is 00:42:31 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
Starting point is 00:42:46 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
Starting point is 00:43:01 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
Starting point is 00:43:11 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
Starting point is 00:43:22 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?
Starting point is 00:43:33 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.
Starting point is 00:43:43 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.
Starting point is 00:43:58 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?
Starting point is 00:44:16 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
Starting point is 00:44:37 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.
Starting point is 00:45:00 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.
Starting point is 00:45:12 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.
Starting point is 00:45:28 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.
Starting point is 00:45:39 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
Starting point is 00:45:57 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,
Starting point is 00:46:13 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.
Starting point is 00:46:33 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.
Starting point is 00:46:44 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.
Starting point is 00:46:56 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.
Starting point is 00:47:18 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?
Starting point is 00:47:39 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.
Starting point is 00:47:59 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.
Starting point is 00:48:11 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.
Starting point is 00:48:47 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
Starting point is 00:49:07 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.
Starting point is 00:49:22 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
Starting point is 00:49:42 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
Starting point is 00:49:56 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.
Starting point is 00:50:09 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.
Starting point is 00:50:28 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.
Starting point is 00:50:46 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
Starting point is 00:50:53 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,
Starting point is 00:51:10 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.
Starting point is 00:51:26 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
Starting point is 00:51:44 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.
Starting point is 00:51:56 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.
Starting point is 00:52:08 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.
Starting point is 00:52:21 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.
Starting point is 00:52:34 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.
Starting point is 00:52:47 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.
Starting point is 00:53:03 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.
Starting point is 00:53:17 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.
Starting point is 00:53:31 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.
Starting point is 00:53:51 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.
Starting point is 00:54:07 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.
Starting point is 00:54:25 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.
Starting point is 00:54:47 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
Starting point is 00:55:03 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
Starting point is 00:55:19 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
Starting point is 00:55:35 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.
Starting point is 00:55:50 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.
Starting point is 00:56:08 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.
Starting point is 00:56:21 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.
Starting point is 00:56:28 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,
Starting point is 00:56:37 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
Starting point is 00:56:50 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?
Starting point is 00:57:04 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,
Starting point is 00:57:16 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.
Starting point is 00:57:27 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?
Starting point is 00:57:40 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?
Starting point is 00:57:52 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.
Starting point is 00:58:06 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.
Starting point is 00:58:17 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.
Starting point is 00:58:25 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.
Starting point is 00:58:40 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.
Starting point is 00:59:03 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.
Starting point is 00:59:25 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.
Starting point is 00:59:44 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.
Starting point is 01:00:00 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.
Starting point is 01:00:22 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.
Starting point is 01:00:40 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.
Starting point is 01:00:57 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.
Starting point is 01:01:09 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,
Starting point is 01:01:20 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.
Starting point is 01:01:35 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.
Starting point is 01:01:49 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?
Starting point is 01:02:04 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
Starting point is 01:02:29 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
Starting point is 01:02:54 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.
Starting point is 01:03:07 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
Starting point is 01:03:19 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
