This is a podcast from Rover.
Welcome to the podcast equivalent of a you-up text.
Nessy, slightly regrettable, but you'll still come back for more.
This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Take the edge off your early morning commute with Clint Meg and Dan.
The Edge.
Good morning, it's one to six.
Starting early because we love you.
Happy hump day, everybody. Wednesday.
Good morning.
And for quite a few of, I think, New Zealand, payday tomorrow.
Yeah, Thursday's a payday.
in it for a lot of people.
Yeah, four-nightly Thursday.
Is it the most common day of the week to be paid?
I think so. I think a lot of companies kind of do it on that day,
so I believe it's not just us.
You know, I used to work for a company,
and there'll be a lot of people listening that probably are the same as this,
that was paid monthly.
And, oh, God, hard to budget monthly.
Yeah, and also, I found weekly is good,
but it's easier to spend.
Because you're like, oh, I've only got two more days, I can spend it.
I'd be a nightmare weekly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Way back in the day when I worked for ZDM, they paid us monthly.
They did it here.
Maca Media Works ages ago,
it was the worst monthly.
And you felt like a king when you got paid.
Yeah.
And then for the back end,
like the last two weeks,
you're just on the blows of your ass.
Yeah.
And you never learn every month, right?
And every month you never learn.
You're like, next week I'm going to have to do it up good at it.
You go right, next week I'm going to divide it by four
and then I'm just going to chip away at it.
Yeah, I'll be buying remote control cars, jet skis.
You've done on another car.
Yeah.
But I'm paid fortnightly, so it's fine.
Yeah.
Right, that's, yeah.
He said it's for his son.
He promised his son a car if he got his vaccinations.
So his son gets to watch Dad drive me.
Yeah, he didn't pay with it once.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh my gosh.
It's time for coffee catch up.
And we do a quick little whip around.
Who did what?
And then Dan was like, I got this.
It's not a really, really good one.
That's where the music's here.
I did.
And then Dan said, I've got a thing.
I did.
I said whatever else you have.
I said nothing of the thing.
I said a couple of other things happened to me that I could share during.
coffee catcher and dad said no no no I've got it get me some music here we go dad
now can I just have it said that is absolutely the opposite of what I said I said if
one of you guys have something because I've got nothing oh I'm pretty sure you have
something about a dream yes yes which is nothing I hate it when people talk about dreams
British Carl I'm just letting you know I've blocked all phone lines and pause the
text so there's no interruptions for this thank you man oh what was your dream dad
Dan was like can I please have some time in the show I need to tell the story
that's so bad
So we've been talking a lot about my diary, my dance diary,
and there was an entry in there where the man came to speak at my school
and then lost his penis.
Not joking.
And for whatever reason last night, I had a dream.
And it's a very blurry dream and I can't remember a lot of it,
which makes it less of a...
Get to the pitiful.
Hannah kicked me out of home and it was so cold, I got frostbite on my penis.
Oh.
and I remember I was sleeping. Unblock the phones, Carl.
Unblocked to him.
I told you it was terrible.
Right.
And the vaguely all I remember was we had some sort of argument.
Hannah was like, you're out, done.
And she'd locked me out of the house.
And it must have been winter.
Wait, so you don't have a penis and you're locked outside.
She's like, that's it.
Like, without your penis, she doesn't want to know you.
No, no, no, no.
Because he got locked outside and it was winter.
Yeah, so she kept me out.
I thought he came back in you.
I've got no penis.
I mean, you're no used to me.
Get out.
I only want a man with a penis.
No, no, no, yeah, she locked me out of the house
And I remember I had to sleep in the toilet or something
But anyway
Do you have an outhouse?
An outdoor dutney
No, there's a public toilet down the road
You slept in there and then woke up in your pads
That's so sad
But it was a terrible dream
Oh, I bet you're sitting in a public toilet
And woke up without a pan
It's really surprising me
You're not calling it a nightmare
Because I didn't think you like that
But it's such a vague dream
And I was just telling me off here
It was not for on air
This is why we do this sort of stuff
I actually had something like that it could have shared, but in mind, we took...
I gave you the option.
Almost losing your penis.
Or losing your penis, but they're not losing your penis.
And so it was a terror.
It was a horrible moment.
Do you remember when you were in school, and at the end you didn't know how to finish the story?
So you go, and then I woke up, and it was all a dream.
And that's what exactly what it was.
That's this break.
And the teacher used to hate that.
Did you wake up this morning, though, and just double-check?
Well, it was one of those ones that only just remembered now.
It was not even that much of a dream.
You haven't checked?
Whoa!
Hold on, Dan.
It wasn't a dream.
Dad, go on.
He's still looking.
Still there.
Why do you sound disappointed?
No, because it's still the same one.
It's a bit of a trigger warning.
There are some heavy themes that will be discussed in this chat with our good friend, no doubt.
Mental health advocate, content creator and friend of the show, Jazz Thornton, is going to be presenting her own docu-series on Sky, New Zealand Originals.
Woo!
Yeah, it's been crazy.
You can watch it on neon as well.
So tell us how this journey first started.
Was it your idea?
No, I was approached.
I was approached to it after I shared my own stalking experience online
and everyone was kind of shocked by it.
And so people asked if I wanted to do a show.
And at the start, I wasn't so keen because my experience was so different to what a lot of New Zealanders
face in this situation.
But we managed to do it with two other stories that are gut-wrenching.
so it really kind of now shows the full reality.
Are you worried as well when you bring it back up,
jazz, that not only is that tough to do,
you're picking an old scab.
And then you start talking about it on the radio or on TV,
all of a sudden.
The obsession starts again or something.
Yeah, I mean, I, to the day, have never spoken to the sky.
He literally flew 18,000 kilometres to find me from the Netherlands
and found my house, was outside my house,
and police believed that he intended to take me out and take himself out.
Yes, to a degree, but he can't come back into our country.
anyway, so...
Do you know why he did this?
And, like, has that ever been explained?
No, no, he found me five weeks prior online
and then watched everything I'd ever done.
And then the next day, he'd booked the flights.
And then two weeks later, he was in the country outside my house.
Oh, my goodness.
What's deranged...
Yeah, so did you see him outside the house?
How did you know that, yeah?
We got home.
He was sending really cryptic messages
about how he had, like, done something really bad that involved me,
and that he couldn't promise me not to do something
with the information that he gathered.
And then the next day we got home,
and there was a paper bag outside our house
and inside it was stuff from the Netherlands
and then letters from him
and then we went inside
and our house had like floor to ceiling windows
and there's a beach right in front
and he was sitting down on the beach
looking up in our house.
It's like a horror movie.
Yeah, it was but even then I still was like
am I being dramatic if I called the police?
So we sent my male flatmate down
to go confirm it was him like and then I called the police.
Do you think people watch Stalked
and then start changing their
security around their social media?
I would hope so. I definitely did.
But at least now
the law is coming into place on May 26.
So if this happens, people
can do something about it, whereas we couldn't.
So as of May 26th,
stalking will officially be illegal. Those
who are charged with it can face up to five
years in prison. And it has
indicated over two separate acts
across two years. So that's
really solid. That means of someone, and
it's unwanted contact of, you know,
it could be messaging. And it's obviously
it has to be under a certain, like with a certain threshold,
but it will mean things like that the person can be charged.
That's crazy that it wasn't illegal before that.
I know.
It's shocking.
Yeah.
Wow.
We're the last one.
The docu series is called Stalked.
It's on Sky Open right now, but you can also stream on neon as of today and get around it.
I'll be watching.
It sounds like, it's pretty intense, but it's good.
You'll be amazed by the girl's strength and the air ability, like you'll be in awe of them.
Amazing.
Jason, always a pleasure.
Thank you.
Thanks for having me.
All right, well, we'll get into our first call of the day next,
because that one doesn't count.
This is just coming and promoting her show.
Oh, 800 The Edge.
We have a double pass for a must-see movie, Billy Elish.
She's got James Cameron, who has decided to turn her show into a movie.
Yeah, you can win tickets, and it's like they've reinvented the concert experience, hey.
Full immersive 3D, we've got your double pass.
He's got to call us, Oh, 800, the Edge.
Clint Megan Dan, Clint Megan Dan's scandal.
Sabrina Capadda and Stevie Nix.
We did together at the Meat Gala last night.
The time is bolder
till they get older.
And Beyonce was gushing
about her 14-year-old daughter,
Blue's debut on the red cover.
It feels surreal because my daughter's here.
She looks so beautiful.
It's incredible to be able to share it with her.
Bea, what are you looking forward to most from tonight?
Experiencing this through the eyes of Blue
and being able to relax.
Yeah, and she kind of shone the spotlight on her.
her daughter there. Plus, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have settled there. It ends with
us lawsuit two weeks after it was due to go to court, releasing a joint statement saying
they hope this brings closure. Scandals all thanks to Moody, buy a Moody Proteinball,
find a golden ticket and win $5,000 cash.
94-2.
Clint Megan Dan.
What is it, Blue Ivy, Beyonce's daughter?
Yeah.
I saw photos of her on the red caper yesterday.
She, like, and I'm saying that in this in a nice way, like the oldest looking 14-year-old
I've ever seen.
Yeah, her and the North West, both of them.
I mean, well, North West is a year younger, so she'll be about 13 now.
Unbelievably unrealistic for what 13 and 14-year-olds are like.
Like, if I was a 14-year-old girl right now and I saw that,
I would be like, I am not the same age as that person.
It's a wild thing to see and know, and your brain doesn't really compute.
I guess having Beyonce as your mom and Jazzy as your dad,
it would mature you or age you much quicker than I think going to a normal school
with normal people.
Yeah.
It's sad though, isn't it?
It's really sad
that those kids have just not
like...
I really had that childhood.
Yeah, it's crazy really.
And then now the children are...
Pros and cons.
Yeah, there is.
Super yachts and the jet skis.
I don't think it's probably
the worst childhood.
I was thinking this morning about them though.
I was thinking how hard
it must be for Blue
that would she ever know
if her friends
wanted to just be a friend
or her friends wanted to be...
That's the pros and cons, right?
Yeah, because it'd be on your parents.
I thought that would be really tough
for a kid at school.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Having like a lot of people
around you but not really necessarily
having a really close core group
that you know you can
rely on in any situation
Yeah, there's definitely pros and cons to that life
isn't there? Like everything. Yeah
I mean but if we could switch
I know I wouldn't
Wouldn't switch with Beyonce and Jay Z? No God no
Definitely would no way
Sorry guys he'd be like Beyonce
Megan Dan on the edge
Same to the rest of your family
Yeah
Megan I'd stay in our lives
Warring little lives
Bring him with me
Clint, Megan Dan
Dan. First call of the day. First call of the day this morning is Marina.
Marina's got an 11-year-old daughter who loves Billy Eilish,
so I'm guessing Clint, your little bait you threw out, might have got her in.
Morning, Marina.
Morning, how are you all?
Oh, we're good. Now we're speaking to you, Marina.
Now you're a teacher.
Are you a high school teacher, primary teacher?
Primary school.
Oh, yes.
The way you said that, is that good or bad?
Um, good. I've never tried, um, yeah, any high rap than primary intermediate or...
I think if I was going to be a teacher, I'd be primary school.
Because the high school kids are just obnoxious little brat.
Well, it's too cool for school, don't they?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, the primary kids, some of them still, you know, like little sponges, you know, they soak up everything.
They like to learn.
They like to learn.
And you get the same amount of holidays if you teach primary as when you teach high school, right?
Yeah, they just get a lot more release time, I believe.
Yeah.
You were recently single?
Yes, yeah.
Good for you.
Good, exciting start to 2026?
It is.
Good, good.
It's been a bit tough, but we're getting there.
Nice.
Navigating like a brand new way of doing things.
A twin.
Two cats, Sumo and Captain.
What an interesting life you live.
Now, have you ever played a trick with you?
Have you got an identical twin?
Oh, yeah.
Yes, I have.
I'm always at the dream of having a twin.
so you could play tricks on people.
Have you ever done that, like, swapped out and done it like on it with guys or anything like that?
Yeah, we did.
I weren't very happy.
Oh, really?
So it's like one of you's really great at maths and the other ones, I know, got a test.
You could, like, sit in and do the test for her and things like that.
Yeah, you could.
And if your mum and dad ever split up and your dad lived on one side of the world and your mom lived on the other,
you guys could almost do like a bit of like a swap and your parents wouldn't know which ones, which.
Yeah, that would be pretty cool.
Yeah, I think they...
I don't think they're going to split up by having their wedding anniversary this month.
How long do you know?
Isn't that terrible that I don't?
No, I thought it was impressive that you knew that was their wedding anniversary at all.
It must be like in the 30s.
Well, it's like my dad's birthday, two days after it and then, you know, this mother's day.
Over 50 years.
Over 50 years?
Okay, so you're not replicating the parent trap anytime soon, then.
No, definitely not.
What a great movie though, I guess.
Oh, good.
Yeah, Lindsay Lohan at her best.
All right, well, Billy Eilis and James Cameron have teamed up to reinvent the concert experience.
So it's called Hit Me Hard and Soft, The Tour Live in 3D.
It's in cinemas tomorrow, so we'll get a double pass out to you and your daughter and go check it out.
Fantastic.
Thank you so much.
Thanks, Marina.
Thanks for listening.
We've been reading a review.
A lot of people saying that it's better to see this movie than going to see you're live in concert.
Because you're just so, like, put into it.
to the moment.
That's what I worried about
because obviously you can get closer
than you probably would at a Billy Irish concert.
And if it's 3D and you feel like you're there,
doesn't that?
Even though Billy will be getting paid,
it would limit your ticket sales
because you feel like you've already seen it
when you actually haven't.
Billy is so amazing.
I'm really excited to see this concert,
but I was surprised that James didn't think
to do this with Taylor Swift Eerie's tour,
which was the biggest world concert in the world.
Or maybe he'd try it.
Oh, true, we don't know.
Maybe what's your name, Andrea, said, no thanks.
I doubt it, but possibly.
Or maybe, you know,
James Cameron's daughter is a Billy fan and not a Taylor Swift fan,
and so that changed the, you know.
Yeah, James's only got so many hours in the day that he can work,
and he's like, who do I dedicate a chance?
Yeah, he might have gone to the concert with his daughter.
She didn't want to go to the Eres tour.
It's a good way.
We've been arguing about, for Norty 640 next,
which two celebrities out of these two guys would be better in bed.
Oh my gosh, are we bringing this one here?
I didn't even realize.
We even had a poll and they're like, we're at group chat.
That's terrible.
This is so sexist.
We could not do this the other way round.
At least we get it
Can tomorrow if you want.
We'll do two women tomorrow.
No.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Let's get into it.
The debate that has been circling
the edge, not just our show,
but all shows for the last 24 hours.
It's time to get naughty at 640.
It's well at minute.
Is it sexist?
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
We've been debating.
Whether we think Harry Stiles or Chating Taitam
would be better in bed because Zoe Kravitz
used to be engaged to Channing.
Now she's engaged to Harry.
So I said, yeah, but he would be better in bed.
That wound Clint up.
And it went back and forth from that.
There's no way if you've ever seen any of Channing Tatum's movie,
some step-up days right back.
The way he dances to Magic Mike that he is like not as good in bed
as a guy who was in one direction.
Now, I know what's going to happen here.
We're going to get all the basics calling through.
saying Channing, say they can throw me around.
Yeah, they're going to say, oh, I love to.
Also, you're calling Ash London a basic, are you?
Oh, Dad.
Well, I'd think that she would probably go about Harry Styles.
You said all the basics, and then Meg said, yeah, throwing them around.
Yeah.
Ash London said Channing would be able to lift me up and Harry would not.
Lift me up.
Different things.
Wow, I didn't ever took Ash London for a basic, but she is, apparently.
Well, we looked at the poll, the pole that we put at the edge here again.
Yes, very sexist.
Okay.
And Harry Stiles wins that poll
But to be fair
Cal didn't vote because he voted for himself
And he added himself as an option
When it was between
He was a swing vote
Damn it
I would say Harry
To me, okay, this is my argument
I think Channing would be
Showy, sure
He's got the muscles
He'd do the moves
And I'm like, what are you doing?
He'd be breakdowns and on the bed
And all I want is them to pay attention to me
And I feel like Harry would do a good job
At what I want
not what Channing thinks I want with all his moves.
I imagine Channing would be a wham-bam, thank you ma'am type situation.
It'd be lovely and it would be fantastic.
There would be a mirror on the roof and it would last 45 minutes.
Harry Stiles, on the other hand, you're in for four hours.
Oh, no girl wants that, mate.
He's just giving, giving, giving, giving.
He's a giver.
Me, you've said that before you do not want.
Four hours.
Four hours.
And he can't find it if it's taking four hours.
And he's starting slow and he's ending fast.
but it's a beautiful two hours
Wait, so, okay, here's, again, this is it.
Don't listen to Dan.
Not who's the hottest.
It's like you get one night in the sack
with either Harry or Channing,
which do you think is going to show you a better time?
Every time Harry starts, he'll have fun with it,
he'd be giving, he wrote a song about going down on a woman.
Oh, what's that one called?
Watermelon sugar.
Oh, I just thought that was about eating watermelons.
My God, Daniel.
Okay.
Okay, 0800 the edge we can text us 3343.
Oh man, I can't even believe this as a debate.
Wow.
You guys are just doing it to wind me up.
The basics around full force, Danielle.
Yeah, thank you, Danielle.
That surprises me with you, but she's chanting a thousand percent.
Melissa said I feel like Harry would be more loving Kerry.
Shut up.
Nauty 640 this morning was a dumb discussion that happened on here,
made it to our work group chat here at the edge about who would be better in the sack
because Zoe Kravitz used to date Channing Tatum,
now she's with Harry Stiles,
and I was like, well, gutted,
she's had the best she's ever had already.
It's a really stupid,
it's a, like, embarrassing conversation argument
that, yes, we have brought it on here for some reason.
I'll stop me there, Meg, because it's absolutely popping off
on the text machine and phones.
Stupid little humans.
I was going to just say, I asked Chat,
and chat said Harry Stiles be known for being more sensual and attentive.
Tatum more physical and dominant.
So it depends what you like, hey, Doug.
I would say, then it's subjective, isn't it?
It depends on what you like.
Although it seems like a lot of people like the dominant.
Dominant one.
All right.
Daniel, morning.
Morning, guys.
How are you?
Morning.
Danny.
For Channing or Harry?
So bad.
Oh, Channing.
There's just, there's no argument on that.
Thank you.
No, I'm going to stop you just quickly, Danielle.
Are you basing this on his character from Magic Mike?
I'll say step up
More
We've seen him do these sexual moves
So you can visualise and picture what it would be like
Whereas we don't see that with Harry
Sort of bouncing around on stage
Whether you like to be dominated or dominate
So I guess if you're choosing Harry
I can't believe we're even having this conversation
Dan and I like to dominate
Yeah
Dan doesn't give him me
Dominator energy
Yes
No no I'm going to stop me there me
Because I don't know if I do
Producing car
Do you know something we haven't
considered is that Harry is notorious
for dating Cougars
and older women who have got the experience
and they're going to pass that experience on to him.
I totally agree with you
Carl. He's going with older women. They wouldn't muck about.
No way, yeah. They would not be mucking
about with somebody bad in bed. Yeah, I think he's
knocked around with Stevie Nicks.
Olivia, um, what's her name?
Olivia Wilde.
Yeah. Sorry, Kravitz is older than him.
Yeah, but if he was that good, they wouldn't have let him
go. He's balanced around. He let
them all go. So I think they're still
He's doing the dumpin.
All right, let's quickly go to Lewis.
Lewis, who's better?
Channings had him.
Yes.
Lewis, come on.
I thought better of you.
I really did.
Look, I'll say this.
I think Harry would be bigger,
but I think Channing would be better.
This is the other way.
This is terrible.
Susie, Harry or Channing?
Definitely Harry.
Oh, we've got one vote.
Oh, Susie. God, I knew you'd be on our team.
Thank you, Susie.
I knew you would be.
Okay, what about you?
Jim.
Jim.
All right.
Hey, Jane.
Hey.
I reckon neither of these guys.
I reckon Cal's got this.
Oh, Cal because, yeah, he put himself in the poll.
He'll love that.
Yeah.
He'll save that off.
Yeah, brilliant.
Yeah, you know what?
I think of, I had to.
You choose Cal and other?
Yeah.
Right, well, let's go to Mitch.
Final vote, Mitch.
We're talking chatting Tait and more Harry Stiles.
Who's better in bed?
I mean, in the words of the old elder pastor girl,
forget in the last dose.
Why not both?
I'll get in the middle of that any day.
I think that was an option
You can't sit on the fence, Mitch
Even if it feels good
Beautiful fans
Crazy call from Matt yesterday
When we were talking about
What is the thing you found out
That you weren't supposed to know
Just over a year ago
I got given an ancestry DNA kit
From my wife
And I did the test
And it showed up as a match
With my father
Yeah
But it showed that he was my uncle
So my uncle who passed away when I was about four
Was actually my real father
And my father raised me as his own
Oh my gosh
So obviously your uncle's gone and lost his brother
And then he's done the right thing
And tried to like help support your mum
And taking you on as his own son
But why say that you're the dad
Instead of saying like
You know that was your dad
Was he a good man or a bad man
Because I don't know why you wouldn't want to remember your dad is
Yeah
My mother was the one who ended up
telling me and she said she had never told my dad.
Wow.
So he didn't know.
So it was like an affair.
Yes, that's right.
Oh, my goodness.
Even when he was alive, he didn't know.
Families, hey?
Geez, whereabouts in the country did you grow up?
In Canterbury.
Oh, yeah, Southland.
I decided I wanted to tell my dad.
And so I sat down with him,
I hope you know what I'm going to talk to you about.
And he goes, yes.
And so he actually knew the whole time
but never talked to my mother about it.
Oh, man, that's crazy.
Oh, my God, it's going to be a movie.
It's like mirrors of secrets.
Because he didn't know, she didn't know, oh my God.
Wow.
Southland, eh?
You should sell that to Hollywood here.
If you have, you recovered from the trauma.
The secrets of Southland.
Maybe we're going to do that tomorrow.
We're just scratching the surface.
I think that sort of stuff happens everywhere.
Yeah, so if you didn't keep up with that,
um, one woman slept with two brothers.
and then she was married to one of the brothers
and they believed that they had a baby together
but she knew it was not him
she actually knew it was the brother's baby
and then the brother she was married to
passed away when the baby was four
but the uncle always knew it was his baby
and the mum always knew it was the uncle's baby
but they never spoke of it.
You've almost made it more confusing.
Sorry did I, I really thought it.
It is a confusing story isn't it?
There's so many mirrors.
You almost need, I think you need a whiteboard.
Yeah, it's no.
It's one of those whiteboard stories where you go, hold on.
It makes sense, just stay with me.
Family bombshells, though, like, I guess if you find out about them after somebody's passed,
probably doesn't rip the family apart too much,
but I imagine if everyone's still alive, it does.
Yeah, every family has them, some of the bombshells are obviously bigger than others.
That would be a bombshell for me, that one.
Like, that would rip a family apart.
Because essentially everybody had a secret in that, didn't they?
Yeah, nobody knew that nobody knew.
You know, so everybody was sort of harboring some sort of secret.
Yeah, my dad got a knock on the door
and he was looking for a man
who was my granddad who passed away
long before I was born and he said
and dad goes, no I'm sorry, he passed away
it's my father, he passed away a long time ago
and he goes oh well I think he was my dad
and then so my dad's looking at this guy
and go wait so we're brothers
like what the hell and so we had Uncle Salwin
just a peer in my life
at the age of like 15 maybe 20
he was just like there
And then sadly, we only got to know him for a few years
and then he passed away.
Yeah.
So we had like a secret, I guess my granddad
had a secret life that we didn't know about.
Yeah.
So what was the family bombshell?
Give us a cool, 0-800 the edge.
And how did you find out about it?
I think that's also really interesting.
Yeah, Ancestry.com's got people shaking in their boots.
Yeah.
We're talking family bombshells inspired by Matt
and his crazy story that we just played for you earlier.
A bit of a throwback, nostalgia for the millennials.
Is it family matters?
Yeah.
God, I love the show with Steve Urkel.
Did I do that?
Oh, what a show.
Never seen it.
A lot of people wouldn't remember that
because it was like 80s, 90s, right?
Far too young.
Millennials, millennials would.
Yeah.
Okay, so what's it about your family?
What's the bomb show?
Yeah, let's go straight to Jackie.
Tell us your family bombs show.
Hello.
Hello.
Hey, Jacks.
Hello.
At the age of 33, I found out that my mother had an affair
and I possibly
and the product of that affair
and you know what
it's given me so much peace
because I've never found out for sure
but all the eyes have been dotted now
and all the tears have been crossed
you know what I mean like
Did you always wonder?
I always talk about it
always talk about it
How did this sort of affect the family at large
Like are you still on speaking terms
With your mum and stuff
Um
Sadly my mum and my mum and
dad has since past.
Right.
But I've never had the desire like, I remember once
Mom and Dad did have a big argument,
and Mom put me in the car and took me to Wa'ihee.
Yeah.
You know, this is coming from Hong Array to Wa'i,
and I did make this man,
and I always wondered after I found out
that was this man my biological father?
And she also had a big, great book of pots that she had done,
and this man was always in it.
And so I do wonder.
Wow.
Okay.
He's hard.
You just drive around Waihee.
It's a bit of a needle in a haystead.
It is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anastasia, morning.
Hi.
Morning.
Morning, Anastasia.
So you've got...
Morning.
You found out you had a secret auntie.
Yeah, secret auntie.
About 20 years ago, my granddad thought that he was dying.
And so he told his son that he had a fear at some point and he has a daughter.
And the daughter is my age.
So my auntie is.
my age.
And then he didn't die.
No, he's 93 now.
No, that's your worst nightmare.
Because he'd have to be sitting there.
I'm going to say to my death better.
That's it.
And then I don't.
He's 93.
When did he think he was going to die?
How many years ago did he tell everyone?
About 20 years ago?
Oh, my God.
Two decades.
Rocky era, granddad.
Oh, wow.
But you know what?
Everyone kept a secret from his wife,
my grandma, so she died, never knew about it.
Maybe she knew in a secret, you know, but never said anything.
Wow, so, wow, everyone kept Grandad's secret?
That's crazy.
How many years did he keep the secret for before she passed?
About 20 years ago, yeah, 20.
That's so sad, though, because it means now everyone knows,
but your, you know, auntie or half-a-a-a-a-counter,
you can't come to like Christmases and things and hang out with their other family
because Nana doesn't know.
We live quite far away from each other.
Oh, yes.
She's over two years, and I'm here.
have connected for social media, so we know each other's lives and everything.
But we don't speak like, hey, aunt's here or anything.
It's more like, hey, person.
Hey, yeah, you.
Okay.
This is the thing.
You've got to be careful if you're into that sort of stuff, hey, extramarital stuff.
This could always happen.
You've got to be careful about your deathbed too.
Yeah, you have to be really sure you're dying.
Okay, we'll finish with this one.
Family bombshells.
It's not exactly what we've been talking about.
Someone said, my granddad picked up the wrong kid from daycare and brought him home.
He didn't even notice.
until my mum walked in and said, who on earth is that?
Oh, granddad.
That's terrible.
Who on is this?
That's crap?
How did the kid not say anything?
Oh, yeah.
What's going on here?
This is an old.
No stranger danger once in wherever with that child.
He is the shuddest granddaddy ever.
He's like, oh, sort of looks like him.
Yeah.
Take him out.
You said he was wearing a drastic park tingeat.
Yeah, but they sell all up them in game, my granddad.
So many questions.
Bad daycare too.
There's a lot going on there.
Hands would have rolled after that.
The text ends there, but did they ever find the actual grandkids?
Or did they just stick with that one they brought home?
All right, hey, coming up inside the next 10, maybe 15 minutes,
might not even be that long.
We're going to get away a thousand dollar prezy card to a mama head of Mother's Day.
Sit back and relax while we dive into Dance Diary.
All right, on Monday, Meg read an excerpt out of a new dance diary
that he must depend when you were about 15 years of age in high school.
We don't know exactly, do we, the age?
There was this part of the diary that we've been focusing on for the last 48 hours.
If you missed it, take a listen.
A man came to speak at assembly that had been stuck on Mount Everest.
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 still there.
Alice had told me that someone asked what body part he lost in question time after I left.
And he said, I don't like to say, it was definitely his penis.
Now you'd think so.
That's what you'd think, wouldn't you?
If they're like, oh, I don't want to say.
True.
You'd go, oh, well, it must be something private.
Yeah, I get where...
Which means he doesn't want to talk about it.
But many years have passed.
It's been at least 20 years.
I think maybe he might.
Now, we've tracked down Mark Inglis,
who Chatsy BT at least said,
could be the person Dan's talking about,
which did a bunch of school talks back in the day
when you were of high school age
and had climbed Mount Everest
and had experienced some frostbite.
It turns out he's quite a legendary New Zealander.
Absolutely.
Go on, sorry.
I'll take a listen, this is Mark Inglis.
Like, you were trapped on Mount Cook.
For how long?
13 and a half days.
We were no food.
The first seven days, we really didn't have any food.
And then we got an ear drop, which had a wee bit of food.
But I went in there at 71Ks, and I came out at 39 KG.
Wow, that's incredible.
And then after that, so you lost both legs there, and then you climbed Mount Everest after that.
Correct.
And here we are calling you about whether you lost your penis.
I know, we're so sorry.
Did he, didn't he?
You'll find out at 8 o'clock this morning,
but I've done some digging into Mark.
I mean, incredible human being.
He was only like 23 years of age when he climbed Mount Cook
and he got stranded in a snow cave for 13 days,
end up losing, yes, both of his legs.
So he then goes and becomes a Paralympic cyclist
and gets a silver medal at the Sydney Olympics.
Wow.
Then 24 years after being trapped on Mount Cook and losing his legs,
he decides he's going to climb Mount Everest,
takes him 40 days and he becomes the first double amputee ever to reach the summer in 2007.
We need to create concrete that mountain right because the mountain claimed him or got him, you know,
it's facing your trauma head on.
We need to like print another note to have his face on it.
Like we've got Sir Edmund Hillary on the five.
Like he deserves to be more famous than he is
The more I learn about this guy
The more embarrassed I am
That we're trying to find out if he's still got his member or not
But imagine if he hasn't
That's even more incredible
It's six and a half thousand metres
Of altitude
One of his prosthetic legs
Which is carbon fibre snapped
And then he had to fix it temporarily
With duct tape before he continued to the top
What an amazing man
What an ad for duct tape
Let's stop talking about it
because I feel like he is too amazing to talk about this.
Yeah, that was my warning on that.
He got an order of merit from the officer of New Zealand.
Right.
He's a biochemist, winemaker, entrepreneur.
So he's not a sir even.
He should be a sir if he went up Mount Everest with no legs.
And one more time, Dan, what are we going to talk him about?
I just want to ask him if he got frostbite on his willie.
Yeah, right.
So 8 o'clock this morning, we'll find out if he is our guy.
and whether he goes, yes, amongst the double amputation of my legs,
I also did lose my penis.
Well, no, I didn't.
And, Dad, you've heard the story wrong when you're...
To be honest, if it is wrong, I blame my friend Alistair.
I blame you!
Okay, well, I just wrote...
Just in my diary.
So I never thought would be read out on radio.
I'll get to the bottom of the rumour.
Next on the show, though, if you've registered your mum for our Mother's Day promo with Prezy Card,
we could be calling her reading out your beautiful love letter.
that you wrote to her in secret
and then giving her a $1,000
Prizier card.
Yesterday there was tears, wasn't there?
It was tears from the mum and the daughter.
It's pretty hard to, I guess,
listen to the amazing words that your kids write about you
and not cry.
Yeah.
Yeah, especially when everyone in New Zealand's finding
how cool of a mum you are.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, so if you haven't registered yet,
Mum, text that to 3343.
We'll be doing it every day until the end of this week.
Clint Meg and Dad.
It's the Sunday Mother's Day
and the Edge and Prezy card are giving back with a gift
that's all about her.
So maybe before I give away too much information,
it'd be good to get our mum on and find out how much she knows.
Good morning, Fadra.
Hi, good morning.
Fadra, you're the mother to how many kids?
Oh, just one.
Just one.
Oh, so I think you must know who has nominated you as a great mum.
Oh, my gosh.
Did she really?
She did.
Lucy has nominated you.
Can I, before we move on, can I just say,
Fadra is the coolest name I've ever.
ever heard.
A very cool name.
Fadra.
Wow.
Well, Fadra, I've got some words that Lucy wrote in to us, to us here at the Edge, to nominate you for a Mother's Day award or prize, and this is what she said to you.
Dear Mum, I'm writing this to nominate you for the Edge's Mother Day Prize, and honestly, it feels like a no-brainer.
You absolutely deserve to be put first.
The way you juggle everything, work, family and still manage.
to be this incredibly present and loving mum is nothing short of amazing.
You create such a warm and joyful environment,
and it's clear how much you pour into our lives.
You consistently go above and beyond,
always thinking of us and making sure we feel loved and supported,
and your energy and dedication are truly inspiring.
It's a testament to the kind of mother that you are.
Seeing the bond you have with us is truly something special,
and that's why you're my pick for number one.
You are my role model, with love and admiration,
Lucy. We've got Lucy on the phone here too. Hi Lucy. Hi, morning, ma'am. Good morning. Oh my god. I love you so much. Like, you do such an
amazing job. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much, my girl. Oh, I just wanted to make it really special
for you this year because time's a tough and I can't really afford too much. But yeah, this is so
awesome. Well, Fadra, because of Lucy's words that she wrote in, you have won yourself a $1,000
prezy card, so you can spend that on yourself. I'm sure you probably will try and find ways
to spend it on other people. But you spend it on yourself, Fadra. Or you do what you need with
it, because we've also got another award for you from GIF station. We're going to spin the wheel
and see what it lands on. Just in case you do try and spend that thousand dollars on someone else.
This one's definitely just for you. Okay. Okay, and it is the restaurant
gift card. It's a restaurant gift card brought to you by
gift station and the restaurant association. It can
be used at over 500
restaurants, cafes, bars and eateries through
New Zealand. It's $500 loaded onto that
to take yourself out.
Oh wow. That's amazing.
Thank you for being such an
incredible mum to Lucy. I imagine
the money and the voucher
are amazing but was it the words
an acknowledgement from your daughter that meant
the most? Oh yeah, I've got
tears of my eyes. It's beautiful.
Does that also count as the car?
or do we still expect Lucy to have a card ready for you on the Sunday?
Oh, I don't know.
I'll get back to you on the one.
Okay, I'm just wondering, Luke, because if I were you, I'd be like,
am I done now or is there mortar?
I think to be safe, Luce, just get her a card.
Yeah, get her a car.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, congratulations, going.
You have a fantastic Mother's Day celebrating Fadra.
And if you want to get a mung-a-munks it, you can text your,
if you want to get your mum in the mix, text Mum to 3-3-4-3.
It's all thanks to Prizy card for the mums, grandmothers and mother figures.
celebrate this Mother's Day with PreciiCard.
I think the common thread with all these letters
that the daughters and sons are writing for their mums
is the notion of like doing so much
for the family, eh? That seems to be the key.
Every time we've done it, it's like the juggling they're doing,
the love they pour into the family. It's so nice to hear.
Yeah, that there's always enough space and time
for the kids. Yeah, love it.
Pick a number that you think would be
a disgusting amount to lose.
Of money? Where it would make you sick?
And then I...
50 bucks.
And then I think you're going to have to times it by probably a thousand.
Man, well, we can't be that.
Don't ask you.
Don't ask you to do multiplication.
Yeah, someone has lost a vomitingly large amount of money.
Clint Meg and Dan.
One of the greatest sporting documentaries that I've really enjoyed over the last few years is on Disney Plus.
And it's called Rixom.
And it's Rob McElhenney and also Ryan Reynolds, Debtball, who went and bought a football club for $2 million.
Oh, was there only two million dollars?
God, that's a steel, isn't it?
Yeah, and they were asked at the beginning of the documentary
what the goal was.
They were in, to make it easy,
it's almost like they were in Div 5.
And you know the Premier League Meg is like Division 1
with like your Manchester United and your Liverpools?
You heard of them?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you're talking about.
That's the Premier League.
That's Div 1.
And they were asked, what was the goal?
We'd be lying if it wasn't Premier League or something like that.
Why not dream big?
The team in history to win back to back to back promotions.
Wrexham is just one step away on the top flight of world football, the Premier League.
Yeah, so we've ever been following it over the last few years.
They've been making a bit of money out of, obviously, the Disney documentary.
Yeah, well, obviously it would have got them out there, right?
Yeah, totally.
And people buying Wrexham jersey who had never heard of this football club because they were Div 5.
But they won, and they got promoted to Div 4.
The next year they won, they went to Div 3.
And then they did what no other football team in the world has ever done in English football.
and they won again three back-to-back promotions
and went to div two where they've been this year.
Their club has gone from being worth two million pounds
to now being worth 100 million pounds.
Wow, and that's all, I guess, Ryan Reynolds and his mate,
whoever the other guy was,
that have kind of brought a lot of knowledge and fans
to the sport and to the game.
So they've been chasing promotion to get to the Premier League
to go to four back-to-back promotions.
and they had a game over the weekend that they needed to win
and they were two one up
and unfortunately in the space of two minutes
conceded for a two-all draw
It's finished two-two here at the racecourse ground
right now not enough for Wrexham
missing out on promotion and therefore
missing out on 250 million dollars
That is going to be a tough pill to swallow
no matter how rich you are.
Do you know, I don't even know if it would be the money.
Obviously, they would have liked the money.
But part of me thinks it would have just been like this close
to whatever their original dream was,
you know, which was getting into the Premier League.
To me, that would be, not because it's the money,
but I mean, so close to getting here.
They've had unbelievable success more than they could have possibly ever dreamed of it.
When you're that close to playing in one of the most infamous football leagues in the world,
you're right.
It's like all of a sudden, Rixon becomes a household name.
to everybody like Manchester United
and your Liverpools and your
Chelsea's and unfortunately
in one game
quarter of a billion dollars
just disappeared out of the pockets
and that's pounds as well right that's 250 million
Oh they've converted it to like
Aussie New Zealand dollars
So the thing is they can come back next year and
go one better
Give it another go yeah sure
But the pain initially now is hard
Just to know how close you were
Yeah I don't think we'll ever lose that amount of money
because we'll never make that amount of money,
so we can't relate, can we?
Yeah, but how much, if you're listening right now,
and you can relate in some way,
maybe you've lost money,
let's get clear of gambling,
because that happens all the time, doesn't it?
But maybe you, like, lost a bit of money from something.
Maybe it was a divorce.
You had it from yourself.
Yeah, I had a friend do that,
who was a bit of a trade-e in, taking some cash money,
and hit it.
Under the table stuff?
Yeah, and hit it in the house,
and then I don't know how this happens,
but completely forgot where he put it,
It's like 5 to 10 grand.
How big does it?
It doesn't know where it is.
And I guess he hasn't lost it
officially until he moves house.
Once he moves, it's done.
But he knows it's somewhere in his home.
What the hell?
Who forgets how they put...
That's me.
I could do something like,
right, I'm going to put this somewhere safe
so I don't forget about it.
And within hours, it will be like I blacked out.
I have no recollection.
You and my wife are the same.
My wife hides like little wads of cash
everywhere around the house.
Just in case we need it one day
or zombie apocalypse or whatever.
And then forgets where it is.
We are talking to.
about the dumbest ways that you lost money.
Hopefully you don't have a story, but if you do,
0,800 the edge.
Yeah, unfortunately, people do have stories.
Sometimes it's just as dumb as you put your money in your back pocket or something
and then did a handstand and I just fell out and blew away.
You know, like, I could be really dumb.
Especially when you've got $500 in your back pocket.
Yeah.
It's such a dan story.
How'd you lose it?
I was showing a kid out of your handstand.
Yada.
How much money did you lose and how did you lose?
And how did you lose it?
I lost $1,000 in cash.
My manor had given it to me for my birthday.
She wanted me to put it towards buying a new oven.
And I took the wallet to the warehouse,
and I left my wallet in the trolley.
Oh, no.
That's almost as bad as doing a handstand.
I was devastated.
I was crying for days.
Like, the guy come to deliver the wallet and I had the oven,
and I didn't even have the money.
And I was just, like, it was horrible.
Oh, you poor thing.
Yeah, I was looking for it like everywhere and then like rang the warehouse and they were like,
no, we don't have it.
And I was like, oh my gosh.
And then I thought, well, I'll just go there and check.
And then they were like, oh yeah, one of our trolley guys handed it in here and I opened it
and the cash was still in there.
I found it like four days later.
Oh, so you did like that.
Good story.
That was a lot of poster.
It was, yeah.
Yeah, so lucky.
Like, oh, but I was heartbroken when it happened.
Oh my gosh.
How much did you give the trolley guys a reward?
I asked if I could and they couldn't take anything.
Oh, that's a shame.
Yeah, I'd give him 100.
10%.
Yeah, I was like, can I give him something like a reward?
And he was like, I'm sorry, we can't accept that.
And you were like, yes, okay, well, I'll put it all against the oven.
Okay, Lisa, tell us, did you lose some money?
Morning.
Yes.
I lost $900 in my car console underneath the steering wheel.
What? Like it got stuck in there?
Yeah, like it fell right back underneath, like, all the plastic casing and stuff.
Nightmare.
Yeah, how did exactly get it?
Because you know it's there at least.
You haven't lost it.
You just can't get it.
So it's still in there.
Yeah, well, I couldn't get it.
There was too many, like, screws and stuff to undo, and, oh, it was a nightmare.
So then I ended up having to get it replaced the whole thing.
You went to the mechanic, and they got the wallet out?
No, well, it wasn't in a wallet.
I just put the money in there and it just slid
right through the back.
How much did it cost to get it out?
How much did it cost?
They undid everything and I actually
didn't get any money back.
I had to pay more money.
It cost $1,700.
Oh my God!
Lisa!
Lisa!
They could have a hundred bucks more than the...
That's nasty from the guy
because he knows that you're doing that.
He could have easily said,
hey, it's going to cost you more than it's worth.
You know, that's...
Especially if you told them that I lost $900 down there.
I just want to get it back.
I had explained it to them.
And yeah, it was like, oh, when I went back, I was just nasty, all right?
You may as well have just kept it there.
Yeah, that's just nasty.
Yeah, I must as well have.
And thank you what it was for.
They didn't have to do the work for free.
I'm not saying that, but just don't just at least be out of front of it.
It's going to cost you more.
Should just go on and bought a grinder and just cut like a big square
and put your hand and pulled the money out and turned it into like a speed holder.
Oh, my goodness me.
Or a new cup holder.
Not really functional on its side though
I feel like that's a lot of money to dismantle the dashboard as well
I reckon he was taking the purse
Yeah
Wow
I signed up for a $25 a month
Weight loss class in 2020
They cancelled in-person meetings for COVID
And then they never stopped charging me
Two years and a thousand dollars later
I finally noticed
That's the thing as well
You can't dispute that because you were the one that was stupid enough
To keep the thing going
Same with apps and stuff if you haven't cancelled your app
and just slowly trickling away.
Yeah, I will say this.
There's a man called Les Mills
that has got a lot of my money over the years.
No, he hasn't, Dan.
You didn't get charged for like three of them.
And that was for off here.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
We probably need a little raining in.
We're getting a little bit carried away,
especially Meg,
about getting to the bottom of a rumor.
I'm sure about that one.
It started when Dan was in high school
and it's off the back of a Dan's diary entry from Monday.
This part in particular.
A man came to speak at assembly
that had been stuck on Mount Everest.
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 still there.
Alison told me that someone asked what body part he lost in question time after I left,
and he said, I don't like to say, it was definitely his penis.
And that's, I guess, the mind of a 15-year-old boy going to that place.
That's fair. That's fair. Like, if you go which part and it was your ear, you go, well, it's obviously my ear.
It's my ear. But if he goes, I don't want to say, then you go, okay, well, it's a private part.
Right?
Which is fair enough.
And if you don't want to talk about it, fine.
The question is, did he say, I don't want to say?
Or is that the part where the story's being changed?
Yeah, I think you've just, for some reason,
added drama to a diary no one's going to read.
Like, I just, I don't know if you were listening.
I probably think he was, he mentioned that he lost toes or bits and bobs,
and you just weren't paying attention.
So behind the scenes, we've been doing a bit of digging on this,
and we've found a man, a very legendary New Zealander.
Haven't we think might be the guy you're talking about.
Mark Ingalls, sorry, I mispronounced his last name earlier.
But he ended up climbing Mount Cook in the early 80s when he was like 23.
And then he got trapped in a snow cave for 13 days, lost half his body weight, got down to 39 kilos.
Which is incredible in itself.
Then he ended up becoming a Paralympic cyclist and got a silver medal for New Zealand at the Sydney Olympics.
So he lost both his legs in that accident, didn't he, in the Mount Cook thing?
Yeah.
And then over 20, just over 20 years later.
He decided to go and climb Everest, snapped one of his prosthetic legs attempting it,
and fixed it with duct tape and continued and is the only double amputee to ever climb Mount Everest.
So he made it to the top of, think of that.
To the top of the tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest.
People die with all their limbs.
He made it to the top.
And then went back down with no legs.
Yeah.
And we're calling him to ask him about his genitalia.
Oh, now I'm second.
second-guessing it really.
I think Dan should ask.
This was his diary.
Yeah, there's no way I'm asking.
Hey, Meg reads it out, mate.
Damn it, I do.
I mean, I never wanted this to be read on national radio.
You'll get a vibe check.
You'll know whether he's a GC and whether he's happy to, you know.
I mean, if he is a public speaker, you'd expect he's a bit, he likes to have a bit of a laugh.
Yeah, right?
Have we spoken to him off here?
Have we given him any of a heads up, Carl?
Producer Carl, when you spoke to him, how much information?
have you given him about what we want to talk to him about?
It's just been a couple of texts back and forth.
Anything about what we're wanting to get from him?
Definitely not at this stage.
So a massive curveball when we go,
by the way, have you still got you?
You're cruising for a demotion to just normal producer and not executive.
I'll take the weight off a shoulder.
This would be nice.
Okay, is he our guy?
Is it Mark?
We'll find out.
Okay, one last time, if you've just tuned in,
Dan's diary on Monday had an entry about a mountaineer that went to Dan's school and spoke to the children.
And he talked about frostbite and when they said, which part of your body did you lose?
He said, I'd rather not say, Dan suspects.
Very coy.
Dan suspects, then it must have been his penis.
Even though the guy that we think it is, Mark Ingalls lost both of his legs into a mountaineering accident after getting frostbite after being stuck on Mount Cook.
So we now call him to find out if he's...
lost a little more than both legs.
Okay. Good luck.
Mark, how are you, Mark? How are you, Mark?
Megan Dan here from the Antichaya.
Good, hey, I'm bloody good, thank you.
Mark, before we get going, you are a famous mountaineer, true or false,
that lost your legs to frostbite climbing Mount Cook.
You got stuck up there, but then, as a WMPutee climbed Mount Everest.
That's the one.
That is amazing, great.
Absolutely incredible, first of all.
Unreal.
That is genuinely one of the greatest stories I've ever heard.
And then did you go around schools years ago telling kids of your effort and hopes to encourage and inspire them?
Yeah, that was actually prior to Everest.
That was just after I'd done Mount Cock again.
We visited 135 schools and talked to about 65,000 kids of which you were probably one of them.
Well, maybe.
Maybe this is the thing.
So some background here, Mark, is that I happen to have found a legitimate diary from Dan when he was about
16 years old and going to Howitt College.
And one of the entries mentions somebody that came to his assembly
and we're trying to figure out who that person is.
Yeah, do you remember, first of all, going to Howitt College specifically?
I have been to Howard College, but I can't remember when.
Forgive me, I'm going to read the excerpt from this diary.
These are not my words, they're Dan.
Yeah, and we are wondering and hoping that maybe ChatGBT was right
and thinking that you are the person that Dan's referring to in this diary.
Okay, here we go.
A man came to speak at assembly that had been stuck on Mount Eighty.
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 after I left,
and he said I don't like to say.
I think it was definitely his penis.
Now, Mark.
Now, Mark.
Now Mark.
Now, I just want to say here, I don't know if it was you or not, okay?
And we also don't know if the person lost their penis.
That's what I'm saying.
but that's why we've got you on.
Because then if we can say it's not you, we're narrowing it down.
Yeah, we're either going to find the person who it was,
or you didn't want to talk to kids about all the parts that you lost,
including both your legs.
Well, let's put it this way.
After I lost my legs, I had two more children.
You're going to have to be more specific, though?
Yeah, you could have done IBM.
Did you do it the old-fashioned leg?
I'm in more danger of getting frostbied on the cock these days
when I wear my short mountaineering legs in deep snow.
So we can categorically say it's not Mark.
Do you know anybody who has lost their penis on Mount Everest?
In the circles of mountaineering?
No, and I can't imagine anyone that would own up to it.
I do have artificial legs, of course.
Thank you very much for the New Zealand taxpayer.
You're welcome.
Dan may have been asleep for part of the...
Yeah, I don't think Dad was listening.
I know we've had a little bit of a laugh and stuff.
Like you were trapped on Mount Cook.
For how long?
13 and a half days.
Wow.
No food.
I went in there at 71 KGs and I came out at 39 KG.
And here we are calling you about whether you lost your penis or not.
I know.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I didn't know.
I apologize.
I mean, that's never going to happen.
It's the warmest place of the body.
Exactly.
Unless you've got it somewhere where it shouldn't be.
You're going to say, you're still going to whip it out, though, to go toilet, don't you?
Tell you what, mate, on Everest at minus 50, if you can find it to whip it out, you're doing well.
And that mark will do us.
They call that going out on the kicker.
Thank you so much for your time, man.
You're an absolute legend.
Thanks, guys.
Thanks, Mark.
So we're still on the hunt?
No, I'm over.
I don't think anyone lost it.
No, we're done.
continues. We close the book, Meg.
And then we close the book on that. We'll move on.
Tomorrow, another mountaineer.
Another question.
Live.
Clint Megan Dan.
It's the edge.
We're actually hoping you might think about
the children this morning
because if you've been listening
to our show for, well, I guess at least
the last six months, you may remember that
around Christmas time, the kindness
collective, we're trying to get as
many kids off the wait list
so that their parents could go through the
Christmas Joy Store that they set up, and they could select three presents for their kids
to have under the Christmas tree at Christmas.
It cost $20 per child to have that happen.
We raised, as a station, from listeners like yourself, over $50,000.
Such an incredible charity, and they work all year round, right?
Yeah, the work does not stop for Sarah, that's for sure.
And the Kindness Collective are working on their PJ Project.
We've talked about this actually quite a few times on ear already, because we've been
speaking about how we're donating pyjamas here at media work.
and we were saying about how we can't believe,
even though that's totally naive,
it's so sad to know how many kids need pyjamas.
We have more children living in poverty in Altearoa this year
than we did last year.
And we're at a record high now,
over 170,000 kids living in material poverty.
And that doesn't even include the hundreds of thousands of children
that are living with food and security.
So it's getting worse each year.
Isn't that interesting?
Because the messaging you hear from the government,
is completely opposite to that, isn't it, Sarah?
I mean, I've seen numerous times Christopher.
Christopher Luxon talking about how poverty is down under his leadership.
And it's, in fact, it sounds like it's the opposite.
It's 100% the opposite.
You talk to any social service, you talk to anyone on the ground supporting Fano out there.
It is so tough.
It is tougher than we have ever seen.
It's tougher than anybody we work with has ever seen, and poverty is not down.
The thing that I love about you, Sarah, and your organisation is that you have found
many, many ways to stretch the dollar further than it can normally go, and that's what you did
at Christmas time with the Christmas Joy Store.
And now with this, how much money do you guys need per child, and what does that get them
during winter?
So we're asking people to donate $10, and it will get one of the kids that we work with, a warm
pair of brand-new jammies, and then we're working with over 300 community organizations,
everyone from police to hospital, Starship Kids First, you know, Oranga Tamariki, heapses.
of different schools and ECE centres right across the country and we're distributing these jammies
between 1st of May last week and the 31st of July.
And it's so important, right, because it gets cold this time of year.
And for kids to have pyjama, we're talking like infant babies as well.
We're talking like toddlers.
Are we talking school-age kids?
We're talking all kids.
We go up to 14 and a lot of the children that we are supporting right across the country
are living in really harsh conditions.
We've got kids that have got very preventable respiratory illnesses like rheumatic fever.
We've got kids going into hospital that have been living in cars and motels and safe houses and all sorts of things.
And having a pair of jammies that's just for you.
It doesn't seem like a big thing to you and I.
And how lucky are we that it's not a big deal.
But this one pair of pajamas that is just for you, it means you don't, you know, when you're bed sharing with your siblings,
You can be a little bit warmer yourself.
It means you don't have to share them with another person.
It means you can have a bit of a warmer night's sleep
and you can wake up in the morning a little bit more refreshed
and go to school ready to learn.
Not everyone is called to do what Sarah is doing.
Not everyone is mentally capable of doing it.
I don't know if I'm mentally capable of it.
But I love that I can just tag on to what you're doing
and help by financing and funding some of these things that you do.
Thank you so much for that, Sarah.
Thank you. Sorry, Mark.
That's the first time I've also been caught mentally capable,
so I'm living on that. I love it. Thank you.
If you do want to donate and set up a bounce back for you,
make it nice and easy. Just PJs to 334.3.
There's a link there, and you can donate 10 bucks, 20 bucks,
whatever you are. Heart desires.
If you've ever been to the kindness collective as well, their headquarters,
it's just magic there, isn't it?
Especially at Christmas time,
and the dignity of being able to go in there
and choose presents for your kids is just incredible.
So if you're warm at night and you have a little extra cash
we'd ask that you text PJs to 3343 and do what you can.
Just what you can, what you can afford.
Yeah, and get around our pyjama days.
Spread the word.
Absolutely.
June 12th.
Get your whole, I mean, there can be schools, there can be kindies, I guess,
workplaces.
Someone has to champion it at the workplace, so why not you?
Maybe talk to the boss, or if you are the boss, get it done.
Yeah, I might actually have to speak to the boss,
because I do spit it sleep naked as well as me, so we'll have to sort something out there.
All right.
All right, roll cool roulette is next.
The three of us are looking for a very specific type of person.
And who knows?
It could just be who next.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
All right, the three of us are going to put a few stories on your radar
and then look for three very different types of people.
If we describe you, you kind of have to call us.
Even if you've never done it before, 0800 at the edge.
Those are the rules.
The winner is the person that gets a call up for their topic first.
I've been looking at this Australian study that's trending at the moment.
for people and their salaries.
Okay. And it's saying that
and this is in Australia, but I'd imagine
maybe the stats are similar in New Zealand.
Five percent of people surveyed
say that they are
overpaid.
Wow. Which you'd think would be rare
and I guess 5% is a small percentage.
But I'm looking for someone.
Oh, 800 of the edge, 2x23, 3, 4.
That'll admit to being overpaid.
Okay, that's tough. I'll be like, you know, I do this job,
but I'm overpaid for it.
Okay. And maybe you thought,
is Clint's Botox, but actually
a new study suggests that travel could be
a surprisingly powerful anti-aging
tool. Viewing tourism
through the lens of
I don't know, science, I guess, researchers
have found that positive travel experiences
help the body stay balanced
and resilient and keep you
young with metabolism and stress
recovery. So is there anybody out there
that has never traveled, never left their town
or city, obviously, we'll take somebody
that's just traveled nearby, but if you've
never traveled in your life at all, to
go anywhere else but where you are
we'd love to hear from me. I think it'll be common in the farming
community because they just can't. So what if you're
at Auckland and you've got to Queenstown?
No no I mean we can count that but I would
rather somebody who is literally
never left even then
you know like gone on a holiday within New Zealand
if we can find them. That'll be hard to find
Do you think so? Okay I want
to play you something
that was probably the best thing that I saw
on the internet yesterday
and impacted me so much that
I am now going to employ this rule
in my life as often as I possibly can.
Take a listen.
Last week, I walked into my B&B to find a full-on construction site.
And for the next day, I threw a mental pity party.
But day two, I woke up and asked myself my favorite question.
What would it look like if this were fun?
So, I waited until the sun was cooking.
And walked over to meet each one with my favorite local smoothies.
I went from annoyed to having my boys next door.
The next four days, every time I heard a hammer,
I smiled to myself.
And anytime we made eye contact, big smiles back.
Selfishly, a dopamine kicker from my whole stay
and a reminder of the power of a simple mindset reframe.
Oh, shut up.
You're saying that he now likes the sound of a drill hammer
because he's like those are my boys.
He's got his bullies next door now.
There's no way.
I get that mindset and I think that's really clever to say,
look, if I can I change my mindset, it's super powerful,
but some things just suck.
What are you looking for there?
I don't understand.
I would like to talk to anyone who's ever done,
who's ever had like an experience
that has like altered the way that they now look at life.
Have you studied with monks or done ayahuasca
or something where you're like,
I came back from this retreat,
like a completely different person
and I'm now living my life so much differently
to the way you were.
Like a life-altering experience.
If anyone's ever done that before.
You have to be bloody strong
to make me feel more positive about a drill sound.
That's for sure.
Unreal.
So we're looking for that.
We're looking for someone that's willing to admit
they're overpaid or Meg?
Somebody that has never traveled, been on holiday at all.
You've stayed in your city or your town your whole life.
Oh, 800 of the edge.
Text through 33443.
Okay, maybe probably don't need to get too much into the whys,
but three people, Meg, you're looking for?
I'm looking for somebody who has never traveled.
You don't want to get into the wise?
Oh, I guess then we end just up doing the whole first break again.
Then you'll never know if you missed the first one.
It's a mystery.
Maybe if we get your caller, we can explain why.
I'm looking for someone who's maybe studied.
with monks or done ayahuasca, something life-changing?
I feel like that does need explaining.
And I'm looking for someone that is willing to admit that they are overpaid in their job.
Okay, who'd we get first?
We actually got Chloe first.
Hey, Chloe.
Hello.
Hello.
Hey, Chloe.
So you were telling us off here that you've made one trip in its moving house.
But that's it.
We're about Steve.
Yeah, I live in Christchurch.
I moved from Inverago to Christchurch.
And you've never left.
Oh.
And you've never left.
Hello?
Hello?
Yeah, I've never left.
And so why is that?
I've been with Pimaro and all that, but never, I've never, like, been up north or anything, never been on a plane.
Oh, how's your...
Never been on a plane at all.
How old are you?
I'm 25.
And do you look 35?
Because, according to the stats, it makes you younger.
Yeah, yeah, science suggests that travel could be a powerful anti-aging tool, of all things.
It helps connect with others, boosts immunity, metabolism and stress recovery.
I mean...
Well, I get mistakes for 18 and sometimes 14, but maybe it's true.
Okay, okay.
So this is interesting, because I don't understand why you wouldn't have gone on at least a holiday, you know, just out of...
Wellington or something out of the South Island even.
Like, what's keeping you there?
I guess, well, growing up, I had a solo father in then...
Something's always just come up, work, study, all that kind of stuff.
And now I'm a parent, so there's also that into the...
Okay.
Let's say you get to take your kids on a holiday somewhere.
Where's the dream?
Where's the place you've always wanted to go?
Well, we're actually going to Perth early next year, so my son can see his cousin.
So your first time on a plane is going to be going to Perth.
It's a decent...
Of all the places.
What does it, seven hours?
Of all the places, Perth.
Yeah.
Wow.
God.
It's like the hands.
Hamilton of Australia.
Gosh, it must be so exciting, Chloe, to know that you're going to be
experiencing it at the same time as your son as well.
You won't be able to say, hey, this is just normal because you're like, well, I mean,
that's your first time on a plane?
Yeah, it'd be pretty cool.
That'll be mine and my son.
I mean, going on the plane itself will be fun.
Maybe if you live in Christchurch, it's no reason to leave.
It's beautiful.
It's beautiful.
It's beautiful.
Oh, you are lucky, buggers.
Yeah.
We've got another text saying, I'm overpaid.
$42 an hour.
We've got her on.
Oh, she's there?
Yeah, hey, Millie.
42 an hour for what?
Flipping burgers.
Oh, God, that's good money.
42 an hour plus commission, who are you flipping burgers for?
How do you commission?
Okay.
But the commission, is it because you like flip more burgers than normal?
Yeah.
What's your thing?
Commission was because I did a little bit of marketing on the side.
Okay.
And is it true that the company went into liquidation,
but you rode the ship until it sunk?
Yes, I did.
I reckon it is because they're overpaying you.
They're like, damn, we're paying million money.
Yeah.
Oh, that's great.
Good that you can admit it.
Yeah.
You're never going to approach the boss and go, hey, I could be getting paid too much for this, just so you know.
Yeah.
No, absolutely not.
I did a little bit of burger flipping, I won't say for who, but when I, in my youth.
And also, it is a stressful job.
Do you think so?
Sometimes those jobs that you view is like an easy job, because it is, you don't need
necessarily any qualifications.
But there's a high stress situation when it's busy, you know?
My husband says the best job he's ever done was working for Burgerfield when he was a late team.
Someone texted and saying, the Hamilton of Australia, I thought Perth was absolutely stunning when I read that.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
That's what I mean.
Hamilton is, isn't that what you mean?
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Hamilton is stunning.
And Perth is the stunt, like the jewel of Australia, much like Hamilton is there.
The jewel and the crown of the North Island.
I've always seen that about the Waikato.
Yeah, so maybe your infliction or the way that you were, I don't know, your cadence was misread there.
Yes, I've got a resting bitch voice.
Yes, that's my problem.
Holy shit. You made it the whole way through.
