This is a podcast from Rover. If this podcast was a person, it would be banned from family gatherings. Oh, piss off, Uncle John. This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Good morning. Meck goes, okay, here we go. And he goes, no. No.

What do you mean? What do you mean? It's 5.58. Yeah. The I.M. It doesn't work until it's after 6 a.m. Hey, you know what happens? Everyone else starts at 6.

So we try to get a jump on them and then you get hooked with us and then you don't bother punching those other numbers to do nothing. Do you think we've hooked to them? I reckon this has been riveting so far. They go, I'm in for the long haul. I think they're still deciding. You know where you're like, I'm not gone, but I need something more? Yeah, my person's not on yet, so you guys will do.

We'll take it. Don't switch to Mike Hosking just yet. Yeah. Even though he does a good topical show. Oh, we've got our own Mike here. Yeah, Mike Hosking News Talk, Z.B. you know what if we'd won the award

the other day at the radio awards I was thinking of doing like a Mike Hosking impression because he wasn't there Yeah and that would have been our only fix You should have seen Dan's face I was watching him as he was watching Mike And accepting his video award

And Dan was just It was like looking at his Oh god how His bride It was your face was lit up with life Honestly It was getting me He was giddy mate

He was giddy I just said this little Anything that Mike said He had a little chuckle Yeah he's great didn't he? Oh, I love him. Anyway, let's move on with the show. Does he know you exist? I doubt it. No, God, I'd hate to think that.

Well, you know what? His life is not better for it then. Exactly, Clint, thank you for blow and smoke up my little bot-bop. Let's get on with the show, eh? Sounds good. I think we had them until that exact moment. Okay, I'll punch. Sorry about that. Got $250 cash so we can hook you out with inside the next probably eight minutes.

Alex is text through saying he's hooked. Oh, I love you, Alex. That's a she. Oh, sorry. See, yes. Lesh gold. Sanjay says take the edge off. It's five degrees.

Sanjay, I knew in Auckland. I was driving to work this morning. It was not five degrees. Seven, my car said. Yeah, it seemed very cold where I was. Maybe Sanjay's in my area, the Bronx. Someone else checked through earlier this morning saying four degrees in gore. Now that's proper cold.

Can we beat four degrees in gore this morning around the country? Somebody will. Yeah. I know some people in Bluff might be getting a bit colder. Hey, Dan, just before, and this sometimes happens, sometimes we'll make a pivot on what we're going. going to do and they'll go oh blah blah blah blah and they'll say something but the problem is you start to put your headphones on just as the song's about to end and i heard dan go blah blah blah

drugs in the bin yesterday yeah he was searching for drugs in the bin yesterday now we had a big clean up here at the edge because i'll be honest i've been wanting this for a long time you know me me me i've been pitching for a big proper cleanup where everybody all hands on deck cleans the studio the office and the producers area because honestly it was a and i don't want to use a swear word but i will pigsty is that a swear word Like just, people just putting their mess everywhere, old lunches sitting there, plates unwash. Honestly a nightmare. Oh, let's play space before he gets messy again.

Five days. Oh, that would be so frustrating. Spend all that time and then it's just... It's easier to keep it tidy than start again. Unfortunately, Dan, cling too much. Yeah, I threw out, because I've got antibiotics because I've been sick and I threw out my antibiotics. And you know where the first rule of bi antibiotics is finish your script. otherwise what happens is your body starts reproducing stuff

and then you need it again stronger. Can I ask what you're on antibiotics for? Because you had a cold so I don't see why... It was a sinus infection. Oh, did he get infected? Yeah, got infected. And anyway, so I went to the doctor, they got me there was sinus. Threw them out and Hannah, my wife, because she's a doctor,

she's like, you have to find them. They get very stressed about it. And so I came back in, I was going through all the bins. Really? Yeah, a little bin chicken. Yeah, I was going through the bins trying to find it. Luckily, I found them at the bottom of one of the bins underneath. someone's like old lasagna.

And so I've been, now I'm finishing off my script of antibiotics, and it's like got little bits of mints on it. Disgusting. I did see Edge Afternoons on their socials. They want to decorate the studio, but we all like it playing. Do we like that? Well, the studio walls are all grey. It's very, obviously, I wouldn't mind if the walls were black,

and we blacked out the whole studio. Yeah, black would be good. Yeah. But I think, yeah, said she wanted to decorate Mamma Mia's style. Oh my God, honestly. Honestly, that... You know what? I did see Ash's face in the background.

Just go, no. And yes, can't even brush her teeth twice a day. She's not going to put an extra effort after work to go and decorate the whole studio. One poster behind me of Meryl Street. And she'd be like, oh, I'm kind of over it now. Yeah. So anyway, we're taking suggestions on what we can decorate it. The style.

Someone else said, Monsters Inc. I don't think of that's a good one. Hey Hamilton, by the way, two degrees, according to Georgia. It's getting colder in Rotorua. It's one. One degrees in Rotorua? Yeah. Wide it up at one degree as well.

Looks like Christchurch taking the cake at the moment, and Orkuna is minus two. Now the thing is, do we trust these people's temperature gauges, though? That's the other question. You have only a couple of those? Two in Groschurch saying minus two. I don't know if I trust Sanjay's, who was saying that it was, what, four degrees in Oak, five degrees in Auckland this morning.

Don't you talk badly about my Sanjay, please? I'm not, I'm just talking badly about his temperature gauge. because I saw mine and it said 10 degrees this morning. Oh, yours is bugged. Yours is bugger. There's no way it was 10 degrees this morning in Auckland. I don't know. Colder than a, what does your mum always say?

Witch's tit. Is it in the fanciest part? Is it really cold? Must be. Yeah, cold hard. James as well says, yeah, can confirm minus two. And Christchurch. Incredible.

Zero in Master Tint. Two degrees in Kermia, which is closer to where I am, so maybe that's... Well, I think the moral of the story is wherever you're living in the country, rug up. All right. And get an electric blanket. Yeah. too like for that. All right, if you want to score $250

cash, thanks to Scary Movie 6. We have our battle, if you may have heard it. Typically, the boys want to get into the WhatsApp battle a little more than the girls, but we've had 50-50 winners so far, I think. Yeah, I know it's been riveting, so another chance to do it next. I've got $250 cash and a double pass to Scary Movie 6

to give away, which is in cinemas today. The runner-up will still leave with a double pass to the movie. Oh, yes. Yeah, you have to give us your best What's up? Okay, so it's been a contentious one recently, hasn't it? We've had so much competition between all the people that are coming on.

Yeah, all right, let's start off with Alex in Christchurch and representing her area. Give us your best what's up. Very good. Very good. Very good. Okay, Camilla's going to have to bring it from Auckland. Good morning.

What's your? What's that? It's good, but it's hard without the... No one's done the tongue before though. Okay, now representing Bay of Plenty, it's Chloe. Now Chloe's like, do I do the tongue, I don't know. That was pathetic, you've let Bay of Plenty down. Wait, what happened, Chloe?

You were ready to go and in between calling and now somebody's walked into the room, haven't they? Oh, hang up on her, I'm sick of her. No, I'm not having to Chloe. I'm not having someone coming on this competition and going to WhatsApp. I'm not having that. She was going to put herself out. there and then she got cold feet and that happens sometimes. No, it does happen. Not having someone

come on in a competition like that. We won't speak to you like that, Chloe. Don't worry about it. Mehi, Gizzy, let's go. Pathetic. That was pathetic. I just heard that's Mej. She's the first time caller. The first time she's ever called us. He was to do that. It's iconic. Alex's

streaks ahead of anyone else so far. It's just all the girls is morning. Chrissy from Halswell. Good morning. Good morning. Give us your best. Good morning. What is that? No. No. I mean, come on, you can't go past Alex. She was absolutely nailed.

Everyone else was pathetic. Who's your runner-up? Double past in the movie? Oh, God. My-ha. Mehi. First-time caller. Mehi, you're going to Scary Movie 6. It's in cinemas today.

Hey. Yeah, nice. That's not bad. Congratulations. You've got the movie and the $250 cash, Alex. Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, yesterday on the show, I'm sorry, yesterday after the show. I did something with my wife

that she was maybe it shows how little I spoil her because she was very happy and thankful that I agreed to join her on a group trip to the supermarket

She was like I got to do some grocery shopping and I said alright well I'll come with you and she goes but you hate supermarket shopping I say yeah but I like hanging out with you so she was like oh and then we went and I pushed the trolley She grabbed the things and we discussed whether we should get

the semi-soft butter or the really soft butter God, you're making it sound horrible. Hold a second. I don't know why you've... I'm trying to get into it. I hate it because my brain always does the whole which is better value for money because if I buy six cans,

how much is that per litre? And if I buy 18 cans, obviously it's a better value. And my brain, I literally will stop there and do the mass on every product. It'll take me like four hours to get out of the supermarket. I don't know about you guys

but I find online shopping much easier in terms of saving money because when you search the items, you can see right in front of you what the specials are and stuff. So you can just, instead of like going to the supermarket and looking at the shelves, I find it so much easier. You can organise by the lowest price. If you spend some time, you definitely can save money, but it's also not as fun because you don't get to look at

that you know the different chutneys and stuff. Yeah, true. Honestly, you've literally made it sound more boring than it could have been. So wait, initially, putting in your order is going to take a long time. but then you can just go repeat order and just add a few things so it must be a huge time saver once you get past that initial hurdle

once you do it. Never done it. What? You've never done online grocery shopping. Why? It's all I do. I thought that that would be you'd right up your alley.

They deliver it to your house or you can click and collect that's even cheaper. But it just takes the middleman out of having to go into with all the other messy disgusting people at the supermarket. You are grumpy today.

Isn't he? What happened? You know, I actually woke up quite happy. Oh, yeah, what happened? What happened after that? I got in here with you two. Oh, that's a lie. Yeah, you know what? It is genuinely.

If you've never tried it like Clint, do it. I know what you mean, though, Clint with, well, with Jamie saying, it's shocking that if you went to the supermarket, if my husband said to me he'd go to spotlight with me, I would have to ask him one of our three safety questions to see he's on an alien. Oh, yeah, Meg does have those,

just to make sure you haven't been, you know, taken over. Yeah, yeah. What are the three safety questions? One of them is like, name one of our top three farts in our relationship. All right. But what if an alien might be able to be so smart? No, okay, you're the alien, you try and guess what one of the top three farts can. What am I guessing?

The funniest moment where it happened. Okay, so you wouldn't be able to get it. It was at the movies. No, see? Not my husband. I would say it was in front of your in-laws. No. Damn.

You're an alien as well, Clint. Neither of you are my husband, so that's safe for us. But I'd be able to ask him. Can you tell us the answer or does it ruin the safety question? No, I can't, because that's the safety question. No way. Absolutely no way. Is anyone getting there after?

Okay, give us a category. Because it's top three. Give us a category of one of the farts that exists in the top three. It's just a very specific moment where it happened where it wasn't meant to happen and it came out of nowhere. It was like... Laughing. It was like one of those situations.

Yeah. And there was another one that was after like a statement was said and quite a serious statement. Careful, Meg, the aliens are listening. You're giving too much info. Clint, you're on my watch list. Don't give us the answer. What's the other safety question? The other safety question, which we'll do, it's mostly the far would have been honest.

We've never got to pass that stage every time he's not an alien. He's like, nobody for the follow-up. I feel like you should have two backups. Clint, Meg and Dan. Perry Edwards has spoken out about the feud with East. Ex little mix bandmate, Jesse. You were difficult. You did have difficult moments.

Granted, there was reasons for those moments. But you can only pick somebody up so many times before you start losing track of your own sunny. Oh. Wait, was she saying that in front of her? No, that wasn't an interview, but directed to her. God, she would have seen it, though, wouldn't she? And Perry Edwards' ex-partner.

Yeah, but I think Jesse had spoken a lot about the girls in the documentary she recently released, though Perry kind of... Hey, fear's fear. You're hearing the dirty laundry, so will I? Zay Malik has opened up about his secret passion. Just recently, I got back into my Warhammer obsession. I don't know if people know what that is. A Wallhammer? Warhammer, yeah.

It's like where you paint, like, small miniature figurines with like a magnifying glass and everything. Oh my God, like, literally like. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God, yes. She heard Wallhammer. Yeah. She doesn't know what he's talking about.

No, she doesn't. But I love Warhammer, and I think he's such. I love him as a nerd. I love him as a nerd. They're like gardening and gay men in Warhammer. You know, all the nerds that play Warhammer are loving that he's doing it now as well. Because they're like, oh God, he's bringing some like... Come on, Zane, keep going, buddy.

Yeah, yeah. Bang on up our 6. First call of the day next. Oh, 800, the edge. Give us a bell. Hell, let us know what's going on in your world. You could be anywhere around the country. A lot of cold temperatures around the country this morning. Someone in Christ Church could call.

It's like minus two down there. Does that mean? getting like icy footpaths and stuff like that? Oh, yeah, it's frozen. Anything minus zero is frozen. Yeah, one time we had a ponded it froze. Really? Yeah, in Lower Heart and Not in Christchurch.

Could you skate on it? It was like about a half a meter by half a meter. I think you wanted to be like minus... Oh, mine's a puddle. Yeah, I think you want it to be minus 10, minus 15 to skate on it. Yeah, right. It would be fun though. You would have trust...

We could get Dan out and just get him on the ice. You're putting me on it when it's like minus... You test it, buddy. Not cold enough. We've got a double pass to our musty movie. Stephen Spielberg has come, I guess, back out of... Was he retired? Was he just not doing anything for a long time?

But he's back. It's got a movie starring Emily Blunt Disclosure Day. It's in cinemas today. Heard good things as well. Car went and saw it said it's the best movie seen in a long time. It's cool. It's only June. Yeah.

Clint Meg and Dan. StinkyBoo. First call of the day. First call of the day. Linda, good morning. Linda. Oh, good morning. Good morning, Linda. Have we got that right?

Hi. It is Linda. Yes, Linda. Okay, cool. So you work as a nurse specialist, specialising in infections and antimicrobial therapy. Oh my God, me could never do that.

Imagine being around infections. Antimicrobial therapy. Yeah, antimicrobial. No, yeah, that would give me anxiety that I have taken something home. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the fear of it.

What do you do as a bit of a washdown before you go home to make sure you don't take other people's germs with you. Well, the most important thing is, you know, hand hygiene, which is important around all hospitals. But, yeah, I don't really get involved in, like, the dirty things. So I pretty much just have uniform. And then, yeah, just chucking in the wash after work.

Yeah, so what do you do every day? What is your actual job? Are you playing with, like, the infections and stuff? I don't think she's playing with them. Linda, can you put down the infections, please? Stop playing with them. No, so pretty much I work with the infectious disease team and they see patients all over the hospital

with particular diseases and we work up a plan of antibiotics so they go on either oral antibiotics or IV antibiotics and they're quite long courses so like, you know, could be suppression which means lifelong antibiotics or as short as, you know, yeah, as short as maybe two weeks of IV, but they'll go home with a special line.

Life long antibiotics. Yeah, special central line. It's wild. So Linda, there's a lot of Lugis going around at the moment, flus and colds. If you have been issued antibiotics, how important is it to finish your script? It's quite important. I think the myth, I mean, the long advice that we all know is to finish the course

so, you know, your body doesn't create, you know, resistance towards something. Yeah. Dan lost his yesterday. Yeah, I threw it out accidentally and I had to go through the bin to find it. Yeah, but also like up until now, we're running out of antibiotics. So it's very important to, yeah, stay away and listen to your advice from GP and stuff. Yeah, like, yeah, we're running out of antibiotics as in like cures for things and, yeah.

What does that, well, sorry. Meg's freaking out. What do you mean we're running out of cures? I didn't know there was any news. So there's a lot of bugs nowadays that you can. So like from Asian all over the world. Yes. And they're quite resistant to antibiotic.

Right. So yeah. So we're traveling. What was that? They've evolved. Like they're evolving. Yes, exactly. Yep.

So it's pretty scary. Like we're almost at that stage where there's all these resistant bugs going around the world and we all could be catching it. Oh my God. What about the fact though that you can tie a cherry stalk into a knot just using your tongue? Yeah, that's a bit. It's very random. Yeah.

Yeah, it was just a party, you know, group thing. And, yeah, we all tried. And I was like, oh, wow, you know, we could do it. Thanks to bring the vibes up there because it was getting quite depressing. I was like, hey, hey, look over here. Look over here, guys. Don't worry about the shortage of antibiotics. Well, thanks for this roller coaster, Linda.

This has been both informative and fun, which is my favorite type of call. Oh, thank you, guys. I love you, Linda. We'll send your double pass to Disclosure Day. You and your hubby, you can go check it out. It's in cinemas today. Oh, thank you. Much appreciated. Stop playing with all the infections, please.

Mm. Yeah. It's always interesting I find when we talk to people like Linda that are really clearly very smart listening to the show. It's good to know we've got smart listening to. It's comic relief, probably. Yeah, it is. Good on you.

Yeah. Okay, why I am quitting reading next. No! Yeah. It's got too many negative side effects. It's boring too, in it? No, it does. It has one very large negative side effects.

Oh, I know. Yeah, you know. I know. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. It's time to get naughty at 640. All right, Clint, it has been about a week since we've heard about your six lives. We're due. I don't think it's even been a week, Meg.

I think it's been two days. I was in here on Monday, so maybe that's what the last was. Yeah. Okay, what's happened? I really enjoy my new hobby reading, and I've been smashing through books. And I used to be a guy that might get through one during summer. I might get through one. Are you a slow reading?

Because I'm terribly slow. Yeah, like I don't race through it But maybe I'm getting quicker at it Because I am noticing I'm getting through books And I've never re-read a book Hail Mary because it was on cinemas with Ryan Gosling And I wanted to And it was great

It was the first time I've read a book Watch the movie and I was happy that the movie matched the book Because a lot of the time they skip through parts And you go, this movie sucks It's not as much detail Most attractive hobby that men can have According to Women is reading Right

Yeah So maybe it's the most of the most of the most of it's attractive hobby for single woman. Yeah, right. Because my wife is also very much into reading and we were even swapping books

going, you'd love this, you read it, where are you up to? You need to be together. The best. It's ruining our sex life. Put the kids down, hop it, brush the teeth, do the face routine stuff.

And then my wife does her routine as well. And then we hop into bed. How long's her routine take? Compared to yours. About the same. And then we just hop into bed. She grabs her. Bokke, I grab mine. We've got a little like warm

night lights that she bought from Timo. Oh my God, this is like heaven. Yeah, and so he's got this nice orangey glow, and we're just sitting there reading, and it used to be nice. But then, one of us will get tired and go to sleep. And that's usually Jamie, I'm guessing. And the other one will turn over and go, huh, okay, so, oh, the

books are done. You put the books down, turn the warm light off. Oh my gosh, I go to bed. I bet Jamie is loving this, I reckon if we were to call her, which we don't need to, because we don't need to annoy your wife, she'll be like, I'm so happy right now. Clint's going grocery shopping with me We're reading books and lovely warm light

And we're getting good sleep I think she is in absolute It sounds like someone's working harder in the marriage Is that what you're saying? I mean I'm saying that I think she's good right now I reckon a lot of this is on you I reckon that you need to like You need to get her in the zone

You need to start like maybe a few chapters in You need to start laying the groundwork Doing a bit of foreplay One just interrupting her in the middle of a chapter Yeah just sort of roll over Look at Meg's face. It literally is disdain. I know, but, like, of course she's not going to be in the mood while she's reading her boring book.

You need to do that. You need to work. You need to do a little bit more work, my friend. That sounds a little like coercion. No, but we can't read and then do it because it's just like, I don't know, it winds you down. You get a little sleepy and you're like, all right, it's getting late. Close the book. Like, you've even pushed out your bedtime because you're in the middle of a good book.

So we're not going to extend it any further. Sex before book. Always sex before. before book. Yeah, that's another option. Or you just go, hey Alexa, play John Mayer. Then it starts. Yes, that's not bad. And then she knows, she'll go, oh, God, like that.

Maybe I hired her book and to find out where it is, she, no? Coercion. Don't put up your ass or anything. She's like, it's in your boxes. It's in your boxes again. I can see it. She's like, hey, how, is it the third time this week you put? It's a big book. It's a library book. We have to return that one, Clinton.

Clips, it's the fourth wing. How did you get it up there? You know, people doing it tough. And another way that I guess you can improve your financial situation if you're not making money is saving money. Absolutely. By being frugal. Yep.

And there's a TV show that used to exist or still exist but just doesn't do extreme cheapskates anymore called TLC. TLC, I don't know if it does exist anymore, Clint. But it was the greatest, tracious station ever to exist. and I loved it. And hoarders and cheapskates. It was just the best... Yeah, and those people that would buy like a container,

but they didn't know what was in it. You know what you had? Oh, I love that. Storage walls or whatever it was. I do think some of the cheapskate ones that I've seen, they must be not real. Because I go, how is someone that tight with money or that frugal? Yeah.

It's not even saving that much money. Do you do wonder if some of them are, like, mentally well? You know what I mean? If they took advantage in some situations. What do we think about this woman? I thought she might have been a little mental. unstable and then after I got our producer Brady to load this piece of audio, because I've done that. Yeah, but does that change your mind on mentally unstable?

No, I've always thought that about you. Now, to save money, I multitask with washing dishes and cooking meals with my dishwasher. I just got to make sure I wrap it really well or else the food will get wet. With the dishwasher reaching a temperature of 170 degrees, the lasagna will be fully cooked in one and a half hours. without using the additional gas of an oven. The Lysias and the dishwasher, and it's cooking. No. Yeah, I've done that.

Just salmon in the dishwasher. Did you do it as a gag, though? Or did you actually do it? I did it just if it could happen, and then I ate it. Did it taste like soap in any way? No, of course not. It was wrapped completely. It was like almost suvied.

You could say it's fancy. But what about the dishes? Did they all smell like fish when they came out of the dishwasher? No, because it was completely wrapped. And so I did a lot of dishes. And I put beans. I mean, it was beans. It was a fill of salmon.

And something else, maybe it was just beans and salmon, wrapped it up completely. Put all the dishes in with it that you used to. Yeah, and then... Creep it? And then turned it on, and it came out. It was slightly overcooked, if anything. Were you really hard up for cash that week? Like, what was the reuse of them?

I just like to do things. Okay. When people say no to me, she goes, oh, my dear body. I just thought it was interesting. Maybe I, we were like smart or stingy. maybe it's smart with this right like dish like if it cooks perfectly

on a cycle of 107 minutes which is what my dishwasher does at that temperature then maybe it is I think you're dicing with food poisoning there you really are especially with fish no but you can eat salmon raw like sushi I don't know I still wouldn't do it

but hey if you wanted to say money apparently yeah I was nervous about the chemicals definitely but it was so wrapped down me about and I've seen this online about booking flights at libraries. Yes, yeah, it's a viral thing. I don't know. It's a myth, apparently. Some people say it's myth.

But if you go to the library to book your flights, apparently it's cheaper because of cookies and stuff. Yeah, like I guess if your phone or the cookies realize that you've gone back and checked on a certain type of flight, two, three, four times, whatever, all of a sudden you'll go, oh, man, the price has gone up. That's because the website knows that you want those flights. So it just charges you more.

But if you go to the library, it doesn't know you're the same person. I don't know. In theory. Then you have to go to the Times money, isn't you have to go to the library, ask for a log in, then you log in, and then you find out it's like $20 cheaper. Is it worth it? Yeah, it would depend on the savings for me.

What does the internet say? It's just nice to hang out at the library. But it does say it's absolutely, people were saying it doesn't really work, so I don't know if it's a hit of us. What's your money saving hack? And then we can decide whether we think that's actually smart or if it's just stingy.

And you're just doing too much for not enough reward. We've talked about the producer, a Buzza Chang who used to work here who used to just go to Burger King and use their Wi-Fi. In fact, I think he even lived above a Burger King and used to use their Wi-Fi. Sit in a fast food place for long periods of time doing my work because inevitably I'll get hungry

and then I spend money buying a double whopper with cheese and barbecue sauce extra pickles. Yeah. What is the thing? We'll judge you. You can get, like, obviously, a foundation sample from anywhere and then just go to lots of different... Lots of tests.

Lots of different places and get lots of the same... Too much. Again, time is money. Stingy. It's good. Just keep them whenever you pop in. What are you doing? Oh, eight, under the edge.

Clint McGint and Dan. Stinky B. You can go above and beyond and do things that other people are prepared to do to save some money. We're talking extreme cheapskates. This is another one that initially I was into the idea, except he has a lot of rules around his idea

and how they save money. We need to do our showers together. It's strictly two minutes. There's no hanky-panky at all. It's a two-for-one type deal. We just get in and out so that we can serve our our energy, our money. I'm ready for some sud.

Rick uses the sud for my hair on his hair. So that was like two for one on the shampoo. So two minute joint showers, but no hanky. And he uses the sud, so he'll rub her hair like the suds off and then put it into his hair. You're not saving enough money there. Do you know what? They can't have kids. They definitely can't have kids.

Because I know a lot of women that have children where her shower time for just five minutes is the only time that she will ever get to herself that day. And she's not sharing it with you. And even then, even then, somehow they know how to pick the locks. Yeah, yeah. Mum's going, no way am I sharing the only time I get. I'd love to know what they're saving there, though.

It'd have been minuscule, like sense. It would become something more than the sense than the high of, you know, the high that they get that they've saved money somewhere, that they've found another thing. Let's go to Ali on 0-800-the-edge. Morning, Ellie. What are you doing to save money? I save up all my everyday rewards points for the end of the year,

so that my Christmas shop is free. Oh, so it doesn't work out to be a decent amount? Yeah, enough. I'm currently sitting at $120. Oh, yeah. Nice. I'd be worried that they're going to expire before I get to use them, but they clearly don't. So you can put a date on when you can use them, so I don't use them all year, and then I can use them all at once.

That's actually really clever. That's good. Because, yeah, I thought they, if I do an online shop, I thought it just automatically came off. How often when you go to the petrol station or whatever it is, and they go, do you want to use them or stack them? We're all like, use them. Always use them. So what you're saying, Ellie, is if you stack them constantly,

you could technically get it, like, with fuel, you could get a free tank of gas. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, but we're all, we just want it now. I want it now. Instant gratification. Okay, and Lizzie, your mum is the budget queen. What does she do? Yeah.

So whenever we got presents, she would very carefully take the salad tape off the wrapping paper and fold it nicely and keep it to use for when we had to give somebody a present so that she had wrapped paper. She still got wrapping paper from the 80s to this. People pay good money. Yeah, people pay good money for vintage wrapping paper, Lizzie, if she wants to make money that way. I know a lot of people buy it.

I think of vintage everything. Wow. That's such an old book. Yeah, she raised four kids on a stipend. Oh, good on her. That's how you do. And they never lose that, even if they get more money or. the kids are moonbound, they don't need to be as frugal.

And now, Lizzie, is it trickled down to you? Now you're a hoarder. You don't throw anything out? Because if you don't have a lot growing up, I throw everything out, because I can't handle their house. They've just got so much stuff. Oh, wow. It's skipped a generation. Yeah. And someone else says, I keep ribbons from presidents, reuse them.

Yeah, the ribbons I get, the paper from the 80s. We have a ribbon box. We genuinely have a ribbon box at home. Hannah keeps ribbons. She's not as bad as keeping wrapping paper. That's my girl. I'm disqualified from driving for six months. I've got five weeks left to go and I've saved so much on gas.

Not ideal, but it is what it is. I wouldn't say that's the best way to go about it. Oh, here's another hack for women who size eight or lower. This woman says... Size eight shoes? Size eight shoes, yeah.

Sorry, you can fit kids sizing. So you can get kids shoes that are typically a hell of a lot cheaper if you go like a kid size seven. My sister-in-law does that. She does that and she gets that. And they're also cool colors and stuff. And they have wheels in the bottom.

fun. If someone else said, if you want to save money on booking flights, use incognito mode when booking the flights because it doesn't check the cookies or anything like that. What's that? What's incognito mode? It's the thing you told me to use when I'm looking at naughty videos. Clint always is talking about what he uses incognito mode for. He's like, yeah, I use it every day.

With Clint McGinn Dan. All right, let's get me, Clint. Don't drag me down with you. All right. Save cash or just make some free cash. That'll do it as well. 0800 the edge. No, sorry, you have to have already registered.

My bad. I'm on autopilot there. Just text Edge to 33-4-3. Let us know what you need cash. You've really thrown him, Dan. You're that incognito stuff. He just uses it just in general for everything now, just to be safe. Clint, Megan, Dan.

We're just talking about how City Fitness being naughty-naughty, offering $699, but then charging people a transaction fee, which only takes it to $7.20. You go, who cares? When you've got $125,000 members, that adds up to $1.6 million. But I think City Fitness especially

would work on a model where they'd have the cheapest rates and so therefore if you didn't go every now and then it wouldn't matter, right? So they have a huge customer base that probably don't go that much because they don't pay that much.

Yeah, because it's like what, $7 a week now. Well, I won't cancel it. I might use it next week. I might use it next month. How long have you been donating to your gym for without stepping into the building? Clint, I know you press the buttons over. there, but could you also be the maths guy? Maybe have your calculator ready so we can find out how much you're going to add a lot of me and I have to do the maths.

It's going to be fair for ever. All right, let's go to Lisa. Lisa, how long have you been donating to your gym? Three and a half years. Oh my goodness. How much is that each week? Do you know? 1495 for the Blake membership.

Okay. And for that three and a half years, Lisa, have you not been once? I've been a few times, but yes. Other than that. I didn't have a personal trainer for a month and a half, but then the price is raised through that. So, and with everything else, the cost of everything else, I just had to stop. And I forgot to actually stop my membership. $14.95 a week. Three years is 156 weeks. You're looking at about $2,332.

Oh, God. Think of what you could have done with that money. Holy shit. Okay, we're going to call you same time tomorrow and you need to cancel it. Okay. Definitely. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay.

We'll keep your number. She's like, definitely not happening. Heidi, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, Heidi. Okay, first off, do you know how much your gym cost a week? It was $15 a week.

$15 a week? Okay, great. And how long did you donate to them for? Oh, my God, 15 years. You are out of control, Heidi. What? I know. I know.

Heidi, you're joking. No, well, I was intending on going back, and then I never did. and then it got to the point where I had left it so long and not step foot in the door and used my key card that I was just too embarrassed to do it. How did you even keep a key card for 15 years? I don't even, how did you live in the same place?

How was the gym not closed? You know what I mean? Like 15 years. That's 15 year old to a 30 year old. That's, okay, so that's 15 years times 52 weeks times $15, $11,700. I know, I know. Have you done the maths before, Heidi? So you must be ashamed.

I have, yeah. I cancelled it about it. I cancelled it about eight months ago. Oh, well. So at least you've cancelled it. Can I get into the mind, the psyche, of somebody who's paying for a gym that they know they're not going to go to? Is it, once you cancel it, you know you never, it's impossible to go. Or is it confrontation? Yeah, is it mostly that?

Or you go, well, I could go tomorrow, hypothetically. Well, like I said, I intended on going back. And then it just got to a point where I was like, oh my gosh, I haven't been a. in so long they're going to know. And then it just went on and on, and I just never cancelled it. And to be honest, I think there's a little bit of confrontation there and an embarrassment that you'd have to. Do what Meg does. Get your mum to call them.

Oh, hell yeah. That's my job. That's my job. I tried calling them to cancel it and they were like, oh, you have to come in. And so I was going to say, they make it difficult to cancel. That's what they do. That's like that friend's episode. And then Ross ends up signing up as well.

Yeah, Meg sends her mum into the gym. They're like, you look very different from your brother. Oh, at least she's cancelled. Now, Heidi, you've done the big thing. Yeah. Well done. 15 years. I think you are actually

New Zealand's most charitable gym goer. Officially. There's no way anybody's been there. That's crazy. Almost $12,000 on a gym that you never went to. My goodness. She could have bought a home gym for that.

She literally could have saved up and brought all the stuff herself to put it in her house. All right. Next on the show it says Meg had to be craned out of a ball pit. You guys have gone. It's not true. It's not true. That's not what happened, but you guys ran away with your imagination,

and now you've, like, pictured me getting crane down at the bulls. They had to close a chipmunks for Meg Mansell. Bro, injury. She could have moved. Yeah, I think that's right. Meg, you've done that thing. We've told a story, and then we went, like, 18 steps away from the story. They had to pull the roof off at there, I know.

No, you've gone too far. Oh, have I gone too far. That looks is you got to. Well, they had to get the crane in somehow. You know how some friends have that humble card? Yes. Not me. You get news to us

Not when it's big uping my friends That video that Meg did She wrote a poem for long distance besties Because she's got her friend Who's very long distance Quarter of a million shares on that video Wow 250,000 people have sent it to someone

And people are copying it as well I've seen people like copying it Rewarding it slightly So it looks like their own when really it was Meg that wrote it Well good news if you miss your bestie And you haven't heard Meg talk about it Long distance Bestie Island is in the works. Well, there's at least 250,000 long-distance best friends that want to see their mate.

Yeah, we're going to have to reveal more details over the coming weeks, hopefully. But a lot of interest in it from people that are separated from their bestie, right? Yeah, Duck Horse events are going to be helping us put on an incredible, like, maybe like three, four night vacay. We haven't been away as a show for ages. I know. Like a proper trip we haven't been, like not out of the country. We've never been out of the country together. Is the three of us?

The only time it was when you guys got, like, in all expenses, paid trip to Taylor Swift and I got left behind. And we bickered the whole time? Yeah, God, we were bickering, weren't we? Oh, we actually did it. It's funny. We just... No. I was already a little bit of bickering.

I think you can. Is there a keyword you can text if you want to find out more about it? Bestie. B-E-S-T-I-E. I'm actually having a meeting after the show today with Duck Horse and in the team, so I'll have more information to come. It'll be one of those ones like getting quicker you'll miss out because I'm honest to God think it'll be... Do you really think so? Yeah.

Oh, I hope so. Well, yeah, thank you, Clint. Very cool that it connected with that. It's going to be cheaper if you did it yourself. Put it that way. Meg got an injury that she shouldn't have got because she shouldn't have been where she was. In fact, only children should be where Meg was.

Yeah, it's not my finest moment. You're going to have to lie on the ACC form too. Oh, I didn't. Oh, you definitely needed to. Clint, Meg and Dan. All right, Meg had one of those moments where I think you definitely lie on your ACC form. Yeah, I didn't, unfortunately.

But in my area in Auckland and West Auckland, there's two big indoor playgrounds that have opened, both of them within the past month. And it's been, it's the greatest gift to parents with young kids in winter to have these new indoor playgrounds that are, at the moment, not covered in germs because it's only been a month, you know? I hear they print money. They're like ATMs, those things.

I could see it printing money. I think you have to go on opening to have any sort of kind of space or time to yourself, and then they just fill up. Wow. But we went along to one, which is called, I think, Indoor Wonderland or Wonderland. something like that. It's incredible. Vegas for kids. I've said it before. It's unbelievable. They even have pokey machines. The kids might. The kids won the money. It's incredible that the work and what it looks like is huge.

Slides everywhere. Neon lights flashing, big ball pit, trampolines. And I've said before that I don't want to be the mum that sits on the sidelines. And my daughter's going, Mom, look at this. And they didn't have any signs saying no adults on the equipment, which a lot of them do. I don't know if it's the older stuff or if they've got into a point that they have to make it stronger because they know that parents kind of have to chase their two-year-old

You can't really just let a two-year-old run around in these stairs and stuff and then they don't know how to get out and you start getting upstairs. So there are no signs and whether those signs are meant to still get put up because it is you, I don't know. I'm with my daughter Daisy, four and a half years old

and we're going up to do... Thank you, Clint. Yeah, cool mom. In fact, actually, there's one of the slides there that's got little bumps down it. That's a good fun one for the adults. Just saying. and then I'm just saying

you'll see okay if you go no okay we're not making it like that I'm going down and go oh yeah you just sit there with coffee going

he goes down he goes down he goes another mum She's like where's mum she's going down the side 17 times so I'm going down all the slides with her

being like an invested cool mum and she's really happy that I'm doing it with her which is awesome she'd been loving her and she was except we went down one

and my daughter loves a fast She gets really upset when she's halfway down the slide. She's, like, stuck and going, like, two miles an hour. She's, like, faster the better. We're trying to find the fastest slide. She finds one. She goes down, zooming down.

I'm like, there it is. That's an awesome one. It's just, it's not too big. It's this little. And so I go zooming down. Unfortunately, because, like, outdoor slides have a gap between the ground and the slide. There's, like, space to, like, get your feet down. Yeah, yeah.

This one doesn't. It's straight to ground. Like, when you jump out of a plane with a parachute, you have to do that thing when you start running before you get to the ground. I don't know what I was meant to do. I mean, I told my husband afterwards that he did it properly. I did not, obviously, because I landed on my tailbone and instantly felt the nausea rise up.

Like, I was like, I'm going to be sick, I'm going to be sick. There's always one that vomits in a ball pit. I'm like, I can't throw up in a ball pit. I can't throw up in a ball pit. So I got to stand and then I go like, I can feel myself like the colour drain from my face. I go all bit shaky and faint and I'm like, I'm going to have to sit down. I said, stay there, there. See, mummies just chill.

Look at these balls. Like, just chilling the ball pit for a bit. I sit there for 40 minutes. 40 minutes! Too long, too long. It's too long. Because I'm like, I've got to get, I'm like, I've got to get the courage to stand up. Because it sounds pathetic, right?

That's not a spa, Paul? I do end up getting up and leaving, and I have gone to the hospital since, and have found out I have fractured my tailbone. I have broken it. So that is why now I can't sit at the moment, or I'm in a lot of pain. Oh, shut up. Producer Carl has just chucked on our group chat, Dan. Not the white slide.

Yeah, the small white slide. Look at the white slide. It's tiny. It's dangerous that slide. It is, you'd think it's going to be fine. It's about two meters long. No, no, no, no, no. I was in slippery pants.

I was in slippery pants. She'd be going down the corrugated slide too much. Dad! Now look, now look, I did see you later when I was sitting in that ballpark for 40 minutes. I saw another woman do it straight after me and I saw her go white instantly. So watch out because your cock-cock-cocks. Coxics? Yep.

Or is that someone who sits at the front of a boat and yells? One, two, three. Yeah, so I have officially had my, I guess, could you call it a break? It's not really a broken bone, but it's my first ever fracture of a bone due to an indoor...

I'll tell you what it is. It's a dumb adult injury. Yeah, and you have them, especially when you go, why was I even... I didn't even need to show the kids that I could steal to a backflip on a tramp. Yeah.

And I shouldn't have even been there. I've had an injury on a flying fox before, too. We all know that story. We'll try and get a bounce back set up for the pick of the slide that Meg injured herself on. It's pathetic, really. So sad. What was your pathetic injury? As an adult where you were like, oh my God.

Yeah, dumb adult injuries, but you just go, oh my God, I was too old for that in the first place. I don't even know why. Usually happen when you hit your 30s, eh, when you think you can still do stuff. Yeah, you're right, damn. You know. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. We're talking adult injuries. I love how everyone's putting their age next to their injury as well.

Love that. I'm 35. I fractured my tailbone on. indoor slide at a kids playground, officially. This one. 61. Tor Archelies playing laser tech. Oh, gosh, you must have been really running. Tor my, I think they're talking like rotator cuff, their shoulder,

lifting up a 10-year-old so they could see what was on offer in Mr. Whippy. So those ice cream trucks? That's not even a pathetic thing to do you do. Oh my God, but a 10-year-old can see? Yeah, right. They have all the pictures on the side. 44, they said. Okay, let's go to Lisa on 0-800.

the edge. Hey Lisa, you're on a kid's scooter? Yes. Hi guys. I was at inflated, like the trampoline place, they've got a little indoor scooter track. Okay. Sounds dangerous, yep. I thought, yeah, I thought I'd show my four-year-old how to go over the ramp. So I kind of went down the ramp and the front of the scooter flicked up. I fell flat on my back. I was probably stuck there for about 10 minutes because I was in so much pain. Yeah, I know that. And then I found out that afternoon. I was actually pregnant with my third and I didn't know until the afternoon

so I was like, oh my goodness but yeah, lower back issues ever since. Lower ever since! How's the third kid doing? Yeah, she's really good, she's three and a half now. Okay, good, good, good. My goodness, that was a risky question to ask Clint.

Yeah, true. Hi, Liz. Hi, Liz. Hi. Okay, so you were, this was a toddler trikes on a driveway. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen. Yeah, pretty much

I was at a friend's place And she had a four and a Three year old They had one of those little plastic Tricycles that you Sit on and I said They were a little bit wary of going down the driveway I was like, I'll do it first

Hey let me show you how safe for the Hold my beer Yeah And what happened? Pretty much Got to the bottom, hit the gate And just came straight off the back of the tricycle And landed straight on my towelbone

What was the injury? I hurt my tailbone but I've since had twins and that I've had to have surgery on my lower back and learn how to walk again Oh my God So it was a full injury like proper My goodness you're your thing

And the kids never wrote the truck ever again Oh I think they've drowned on the grass But no one ever went on the concrete No yeah No that's where auntie lives She's out of tailbone She played that down didn't she Okay. What about you, Laura?

We're talking about, I guess, adult injuries with kids' equipment. This was at a trampoline park. Hey, guys. Hi. Well, I took my three girls to the Mega Air Trampoline Park in Christchurch here, and I thought, well, I think it's since closed, but I decided to go, oh, that looks fun. I saw a kid running along the trampoline, so I go,

oh, I'll run from one end to the other. because it looked quite funny like you were running on air almost Yeah So I did that full speed Got near the end where it stops And I thought I don't know what my brain was thinking

Instead of stopping It jumped and I nosedive Neck first into the staircase And scorpioned over In front of everyone Oh my God Laura Oh God I asked for the videotape

But they couldn't supply it Were there any injuries? Are you okay? Well, I re-injured because I went through a windscreen probably about a year ago and had glass right through my neck. You need to be wrapped. My kids were worried

I reopened my neck and they were just put their white with their eyes open and I just stood back up and I was like, yep, good to go. How old are you? If you don't mind me asking, Laura? 34. Oh, yeah. Are you older?

30s? You're okay. You're still. South of 35. I think you're aged at early 30s. Kim's husband broke his ankle, playing dodgeball with the kids, had to get surgery in screws. Carl snapped his leg in half at a trampoline world.

And Charlene sprained her ankle on a pogo stick at 45. I mean, there's just, there's so many. Isn't it there really? I think if you're over the age of 10, don't go on a pogo stick. We all think that we can still do these things. 54, trying to be cool mom. And I did my ACL, a knee injury, attempting a TikTok dance with my daughters.

Oh, yeah. Z. 33 slipped a disc showing my son how to do a cartwheel. And all these people will be claiming ACCC for stupidity. Sorry about it. Stay away from the trampoline park. Try the biggest. Yeah, yeah.

They're the worst ones by the looks. Want to hear more of Clint, Meg and Dan, but completely unfiltered. Catch the Overthinkers audio and video pod every single day on the Rover app. All wherever you get your pots. Overthinkers.
