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. Take the edge off your early morning commute with Clint Megan Dan. The Edge. Good morning. It is, one to six.

Good morning. On your Friday, we made it. We made it to Friday. I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed already. Show isn't started, but I'm going to sort this out. My headphones are glitching in and. out, in and out, so I'm kind of here.

You know what that means? Clint can't handle the same as me, me and him are off. I blame Meg as well. Here's the thing, a bad workman always blames their tools, Clint, you can't blame your headphones for doing a bad job, mate. No, I blame Meg because yesterday, Carl was having a moment, and he was

not a whinge, like, you know, he was just genuinely expressing his feelings. And he was saying that, yeah, he didn't want to be bald and ginger. That was Carl words and then... It seems like a bad deal of life.

He was like, yeah, cool. Yeah, I didn't want to be bald and ginger. And then while he's sitting there in his feelings, Meg goes, and you're a bit short. Kicked him while he was down. I crack up, fall off my chair, rip my headphones out of the jack and end up ruining the attachment. I should make sure if he was going to be in it, that he's really in at.

I think he's just a bit short because he doesn't have hair on the top of his head, so it gives the illusion. No, I think he's average height. Oh, definitely not average height. But yeah, she really kicked me really. when I was down. And my massive penis. You've got a massive.

It's the makeup. It balances out. Oh, that's good. That's where all the height went, the link. Oh, that's where it is, mate. Yeah, it's down there. Okay. Why is Clint Tall, Annie has one of those, though.

It seems unfair, isn't it? Oh, he's just been kissed by God, mate. I can't hear anything anyone say. Andy's got here. Huh? Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, my gosh. I went to the zoo yesterday, guys.

Oh, did you? Or as my son calls it, the zoo. Oh, fancy. Daddy. Daddy, can we go to the zoo? The zoo? Can we go to the zoo? Let's go to the zoo. Anyway, so we went there. Fantastic. Oh, the Auckland Zoo, and this is not a paid thing, but it's such a great...

It's one of the best zoos. I've been to Singapore Zoo. I've been to one in Melbourne. Samfranz means to be awesome. Yeah, I've never been to that one. But the Auckland Zoo's really good. It's great. It's flat, it's fenced. You know, you can just have your kid running around. That's big criteria.

As long as it's flat and fenced, I'll be there. So good. Yeah, and they've got a cool. playground for kids when you just want to have a coffee and just like, can they just stop running away? I got dribbled on by the tiger as well, just on a side note. Drumbled on? Yeah, because there's like a little bridge that it goes over. And sometimes the tiger, the tiger's sitting on there eating a piece of like meat up on the bridge.

So you can stand under, directly underneath it and look up at the tiger. Did you get tigers meat juice on you? Yeah, it like dripped onto my forehead. Yeah, it was like, it's drool. He's looking down, he's like, got him. I was like, tiger juice. So I'm very shot. Anyway, there was one moment where there's a big slide there, Clint.

I was just telling me off here. And my son, who's two, worked up the courage to go down the slide. It's a covered one, so it's a little freaky. It's like, I guess, a hydra slide, but without the water. It's quite long, twisty. And he got in there, and he was like, I'm going to go down. And I was like, good on you. You've worked up the courage.

And then he started sliding and then chickened out and turned around and said, Daddy, get me. And so then I had to climb into the slide, reached out as I did. And he reached out. he slid off halfway down the slide. I'm going, George, no! He's screaming, bawling his eyes out. It's like that scene in Cliffhanger. Yep, yep.

Sylvester Stallone. I grabbed him. My glove slipped off and he just went. And so he's halfway down this, like, enclosed slide, which says at the top, no, I think you have to be under 12 to you. So I'm a 37-year-old man. Doesn't look good, does it? No.

And so I go, George, I'm going to meet you at the other end. He's bawling, like at this point. Absolutely, like hysterical. Kids are staring. Kids are starting to gather around the bottom. He's going to have a fairer slides. Yeah, absolutely. There's one lovely little girl.

I don't know what her name was, but she offered to go up and retrieve him. And I said, look, I better go up. And so I had to, as a man, climb up the out of the slide and go halfway up the slide to grab my son to pull him out. God, it's just so embarrassing,

even though it shouldn't be, because every period has had a moment like that with the kids, but it is just so embarrassing. Yeah, yeah. And he obviously just, was honestly historical. We had to leave after that, ruin the day. But it was, there's no worse and low feeling

than as an adult person climbing up the out of a slide. God, it was a depressing. Yeah, none of the zoo mums would have felt you hot after that. No, no, I don't think they did in the first place. I don't think they were going, oh, he was hot until. Hey, you know that hot guy? It was a bit of tiger juice on his forehead.

Did you see that? Yeah, yeah. Oh, what's that? He didn't wash that up. So hot. A little side note, boys. We missed this this this morning in the morning meeting. happy birthday, big happy birthday today,

to David Edinburgh 100. Is he today? He's 100 today. You thought he was going to be the next to die. I know, David Annaburra, 100 years old. He can die now, though, I reckon. Because now he's got to 100. Like, if he died at 99, that'd piss you off, wouldn't it?

To be fair, he still could be the next celebrity to die just because he's made 100. Yeah, I know. It's just incredible. 8th of May, 1926. He's at that age wherever I see a photo of him on Instagram. I go, oh no, it's happened. But it's just like him.

I know. I went to post a photo on my Instagram saying, you happy birthday, but people will be like, he's dead as soon as they see it. So, yeah, it's... Incredible, man, incredible human. If you didn't know, a fun fact as well,

his brother is the old guy in Jurassic Park. Richard Attenborough. Yeah, who owns, like, Jurassic Park and takes, like, his grandkids through and stuff. Oh, I'd love to see David Edinburgh doing his speech looking at Dan climbing up a slide. And who is this man? And producer Carl, could you,

Hit him up and see him on his birthday. He could do that for us. The Jurassic Park guy? No, no, David, Edinburgh. Oh, Adinburgh. Okay, yeah, cool. He's dead, mate. We're going to give you at least something achievable.

Not an impossible task. As long as they're not one of the dinosaurs themselves. And how we see a growing man climbing up the out of a slide to retrieve. Look at that no undies today. You can see right up his pants. Clint, Megadale. Lesh goal. First call of the day.

First call on the day. We got Roger from a man. We actually got a few people called this morning and being brave enough to go bugger it. I'm going to call for the first time ever. Wait, is Roger a first time caller? Can't be. Roger's not a first time caller. He's called before. Okay, Roger from Hamilton, because it says he's been listening since

1998, 98, sorry. And I was like, if this is the first time you've called us in almost 30 years. Was the edge even around in 98? I guess it was. Of course it were you knob. Yeah, of course it bloody was. Yeah, knob. Yeah, that was in Hamilton, though, wasn't it when it first started, Roger?

Oh, you're an OG. Before it even was broadcast around the country. J.K. Mike and Dom were the pronounceers. I remember when you started, Clint. Oh, wow. Yeah, and I was Randall then, because we had another Clint that worked there, and I wasn't allowed to have my first name. Were you gutted when he started, Roj?

No, actually. Oh, would. Oh, that's a surprise. Oh, you're sick of Mike Peru. Well, you know, you brought a bit of action to the channel, really? Nice. Oh, that's a beautiful compliment. Oh, thanks, Raj. So what do you do for a job, Roj?

I'm a truck driver. Truck driver. We've had a few truck drivers. You're up early, aren't you? Do you want to tell Dan what you use your truck for, and then Dan tries to guess the brand of truck that you drive? Yeah, that's a good idea. I deliver rubbish bins and waste removal bins.

Oh, yeah, so it's one of those ones with... It's one of those ones with the sort of like the thing at the back that goes back, and then you hook it on, and then it lifts it on. No, I deliver the bins that get lifted up with those trucks, and the big front loaders. Okay. Yes, I deliver the other bins to the customers. It would either be a Hino or a Mitsubishi.

Pick one. Mitsubishi. Oh, you bloody, Gina. Yeah, I was 50, 50, wouldn't I? Yeah. Oh, you knew because I told him the other guy. Yeah. Oh, actually, no, yeah, he could have seen it.

But I think you got that one genuinely, didn't you, Dan? Yeah, I got that. Oh, he has written it down. Yes, but I haven't seen that. Always easy to get the answer when it's in front of you. Yeah. Oh, got on your, Roj. What time, Roj, do you get to knock off on a Friday doing what you do?

I normally finish at 3 o'clock But apparently I'm allowed to finish earlier today Because I've been working later in the afternoons Other the other days Oh, good on you're off the clock Looking for a beer at about 2 in the afternoon Oh yeah, something like that Yeah, nice

Well, if you went in Hamilton, mate, I would have joined you Well, really appreciate you listening Since 1998, Roger, you're a legend And keep driving that track Hey, no worries, man God, if we have more Rogers around the country We'd be paying our mortgage off quicker Yeah, exactly

Thanks, Rodge. Do you think Tyrone's a rog too? Tyrone, Tyrone, you're a truck driver? Yeah, mate. Oh, yeah, mate. He's a bit more chill than Roger. How many loads you're doing today, Tyrone? Oh, it depends on how much. Concrete needs to go out the gate, maybe three or four.

You do you do loads of concrete, okay. Oh, my old man was a concrete contractor. And I always enjoyed, like, when you have to be good with chit-chat, Tyrone, because when you pull up the wheelbarrow and you stick it underneath your... shoot. It takes a little bit of time to get the concrete into the wheelbarrow. So you sort of stand there doing a lot of small chat with the driver.

Yeah, yeah. It feels in the day. Good at small talk then. Yeah. He's the best. All right, well, thanks for calling Tyrone. I'm guessing you're driving a Hino. Nah, I'm Matt. Oh, this has been a successful chat. Thanks, Tyrone. Love it a bit.

You get very few words out of the concrete truck drivers if I'm being honest. I felt like I did most of the heavy lifting into conversations. I tell you what, a Mac is a big truck, though. Nice. We've got a very special day today. Hit the Spot is back. We need a bit of a practice.

Do we, Dan? Yeah, we're doing Mumford and Sons for Mother's Day. There's a tie in there. And you know what? I've been practicing over the last 24 hours. 50% of the time, I hit the spot every time. So it's not looking good. Right.

All right. Clint Megan Dan. Stinky. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. But it doesn't count, does it?

No. say I hit it, why don't we just replay it today? No, see here's the thing. If you're going to attempt to hit the spot and do a practice run, if you fail, it doesn't count, that's great. But then if you nail it, it also can't count. It's like a practice lap before the big race.

You might post your fastest lap time as practice. Sorry. I think if I hit this one, it's Mumpit and Sun's little Lion Man. And I really do think if I can hit it, bang on, it will be one of the greatest ever. But it's one of those songs that's very hard to get the timing because there's no lyric. The bit we're doing is the bit at the end

where it sort of goes, uh, and it goes on for 30 seconds. Dan was doing that for a while after the show practicing. I was like, okay, I think I've had enough of that. So how many more hours did you? I'll probably over the last 24 hours I've probably practiced maybe three hours

in total, and so I'd never want to hear the song again after this. Okay. So let's have a practice. Let's have a practice. Okay, but again, if you fail, doesn't count. No. I get it.

But if you nail it, it also can't count. Okay. Well, let's hope I fail then. It'll really piss me off if I hit it and then miss it at 8. Okay, did you want Meg to clap or not clap? I feel like don't clap for now. No clapping. Because we were behind the scenes clapping for time.

I'll keep my pace. But it was not your phone with my... You know you can do it. That's something. It's possible. So now you've just posted the fastest lap time of the day in practice. So we know it's possible. So we need to do it again in a couple of hours.

Oh, that really pisses me off. Have you ever done it in practice back to back? Yes, I have. I've done three in a row. Okay, well then we can do it again. It's all right. Maybe, do you know what, though? There's less pressure in a practice when you know it doesn't really count.

So I feel like you had a better chance of nailing it just then than it ate because there is. It's for all the marbles at eight. Your vocals were amazing too, can I say? Oh, bugger. Yeah. I'm going to be all pitch-headed, eh, don't I? Yeah. Pitchy and probably a little fast because you'll get nervous

and then you're racing. Okay. No, I've got this. This is going out to all the mums. Yeah, because of the mum fidd and son. Yeah, of course. There's a little tight. Clint Megan Dan.

StinkyBit. Somber, it's 6 to 7 on your Friday. Congratulations. We've made it to the end of a full regular-sized length week. We only got to do it for a couple more weeks, and then King's birthday will be right around the corner. All right, here we go. Different topic every morning.

You just have to guess that the first option is more or less than the second. Mother's Day themed, of course, boys. Oh, yes, Mother's Day's on Sunday. Don't forget. Let's see how we go with this. You guys all organised? Yeah, I am.

Yeah, taking my mum out on Sunday afternoon. Sorted my mum's presents. Sorted my wife's present on behalf of my son. Like, we went out together. And then I found out my daughter went out on her own back and bought her mum a present. Oh, good on. So I don't even needed to worry about that.

Oh, amazing. Good on her. I hope it's a good one. Who does you spend more on, Jamie or your mum? Jamie, because I've got to get presents there. from son and daughter. Okay. Which item sells more during Mother's Day week?

Perfume or pyjamas. Oh, are you more items or more money? More items. Oh, because pyjamas are cheaper. Not revenue because... Yeah, I'd say... I'd say pajamas, because it's kids buying and they don't have 150 bucks to spend, do they?

But I can say I've bought mum perfume for Mother's Day many of times. I have never bought pajamas. You can get cheap perfume. I guess like Elizabeth Ard. Okay, well, let's go. Let's go. Perfume? Yeah, perfume more. Nice.

Which gets more Mother's Day Google searches worldwide. Mother's Day brunch or Mother's Day quotes? Brunch. Yeah, brunch. No, Mother's Day quotes, I guess for cards and stuff. Who's Googling a quote? Just trying to write something nice in a card. I've never done that.

Maybe I should. Things from the Heart Man. Yeah. Doesn't the card already have a quote on it? Like, it's Mother's Day or something? Well, Mother's Day quotes. Hopefully it's better than that. The most, which is very sad.

Which gift of mum say they want more in surveys, a handmade gift or a day to relax? Oh, handmade gift. They're always like just something you've made. Surely they want time, though. My wife will want time. She won't want the kids to make some crap. My mum would always go, just make me something,

or it's the thought that counts. Yeah, right. I'm so conflicted. I feel like time. I feel like mum's want time. Okay, what do you want gifts? Her handmade gift or a day to relax. Are you passionate?

What are they asking for more in surveys? I think it would be time though. Again, time. Yeah. Oh, here we go. We're on the roll for a perfect score. No, we're not. No, we got one.

We got one. Which Mother's Day card message is used more often. Best Mum ever or love you, mum? Best Mum ever. No, love you mum. Oh, really? I always say you're the best mum ever. Love you, Mum.

It's on everything. Yeah. Kingdom. Oh, United States. Yeah. Big a population. Yeah. Incredible.

I already get four from five. That's not bad. Well, I don't think, was it on popular? It's more on average per person, but they still are spending more. I think they get more into the hype, don't they? Yeah.

Yeah. Shout out to all the mums this Sunday. You make the world go around. We love you. Yeah, we've got one last lucky mum that will be given a thousand-dollar prezy card too and also getting to spin the wheel for something from GIF station

at about 820, this one. morning. Yeah, the world is only mums and their children. Yeah. It's true. Yeah, that's true. Really? I don't, well, trying to find fault in that, but I can't really. Oh, I see what you mean, yeah, because they... Yeah, the world is made up of mothers and their children. Yeah, yeah.

But what about men? Yeah, you can say that too. They're made up fathers and their children. Oh, I see what you mean. But hey, mate, let's not talk about dads during Mother's Day, mate. It's not all about you, Dan. I was just trying to see... Clint, Megan, Dan. Going into a week of epic sport,

and who better to talk to us about it. then arguably the hardest working woman in sport. In media is Laura McGoldrick. Good morning. I've always liked you. You know what? Are you ever home, Laura? Because every time I turn on the television, you're on it.

I'm home right now. I'm just avoiding sort of pre-school drop-off duty. I'm hiding in my room to talk to you guys. So, yeah, I'm home. I'm home. I'm home a bit. You know my favorite Laura McGoldrick story is we went out to the Wicked Premier a few months ago.

and she's such a musical theatre fan as well as a sports fan that she went to the premiere or it was like a special screening and then hours later at like midnight she went to present an All Blacks game isn't that, didn't go to bed

this was at night and I want you to think that's the first time I've ever gone to bed without, I've gone to work without going to bed but yeah it was the I am a musical theatre

I'm so pleased to spend time with you actually at that it's good to know I'm not like the only one but it's just oh God I'm very dead, dedicated to Wicitt. So it was fine.

Only Dan could spend a minute of the limited time that we have with you to bringing up theatre when we're supposed to be talking sports. Sorry. Sorry, sorry, guys. I've gone off the face. All right. What's at the top of the list for you this weekend? Okay, so it is big.

It is. She's, yeah, just cancel all your plans and get a lot of popcorn. So tonight, which is, so I'm a crusaders girl. So this is a big one for me. It's at home in Christchurch down at new Takahua 1, New Zealand Stadium. So it's a Blues Crusaders, which, I mean, everyone knows, right? That is just a rivalry as old as time. So that's not at 7 o'clock tonight.

That's all you, I mean, it's a perfect Friday night. Then we've got more super rugby throughout the weekend, of course. You've got the Highland is playing the Waratars. Then Moana Pacifica, I'm actually covering this game. Moana Pacifica is playing the hurricanes. The hurricanes are on top of the table. It's very upsetting for us, crusaders fans. Yeah, you guys are like sixth at the moment or something, not to rub it in.

Okay, let's not, I wasn't going to go into a system. I don't know that's appropriate. I'll make you talk about Wicked again. Yeah, let's do it. They can come back. Yeah, because you are so beautiful. Okay, yeah, yeah. She's already talented.

And then we've got Auckland FC, which is the football, which is the, we're in the finals now. And, geez, wasn't that. Because if you like football last weekend, it was pretty exciting stuff. And then something, if you can't sleep, and you've got a little bit of insomnia at the moment, the perfect thing to be watching right now overnight is the White Ferns over in England. They're playing a one-day series and then a T-20 series, and that leads right into the Women's T20 World Cup, which starts on the 12th of June.

And that, I mean, I've gone way rogue and I've gone away from the weekend now, but I'm just trying to prepare you for what's to come. Of course. So, remember New Zealand are the defending champions of this T20 World Cup, so we are the current champ. So you want to get behind the girls over there. And, of course, the Women's Wellington Phoenix are playing this weekend as well, just around that back up. Luckily the wires

I've got to buy this weekend. Otherwise you'd be even busier. Or I'd have a stroke. Yeah. All game of two halves is also on tonight, right? Is it? Yes. What day is it? I don't know. 8.30pm on 3 and 3 now. Chris Key, Mark Richardson, Sam Winders, Josh Thompson. This is exactly right. This is Kurt Eklund.

Yes, yes, yes. I'm with you. I'm glad you're on to it, girl. She's so busy, she doesn't even know what day it is. No. I really don't. What day is it? Your crusaders gal Laura, what do you think is the likelihood of being able to get a crusader's fan rooting for the Blues? No, that's not going to do. That won't think that's not a thing. Well, it is something we do on the show.

Normally when the All Blacks are playing like South Africa, we'll call South Africa, and then we'll see if they can pledge their allegiance to the All Blacks. A hit of the game is a bit of a jeer. And Dan pretenses from the All Blacks media team. So we're going to try and see if we can get Dan to force a... Yeah, I'm going to call them. mechanic next, Laura, and say I'm from the blues media team asking for to pledge allegiance.

Just a little voice grab, a little audio grab to help the boys. I can't see it myself. And they wouldn't be proper crusaders if they did that. Okay, okay. Okay, well, I'm going to try my best anyway. Okay, well, good luck. Hey, no, good luck. Maybe sing it to them.

Okay, they love that. The can dance love that. The can't dance love that. Musical theatre in Canterbury. go hand in hand. Hand and hand. All right, Laura, you're probably late for your next job, so we'll let you go. I'm off to school drop off. I'm off to school drop off.

We've got a drum lesson first. I've got to go. Happy Mother's Day for Sunday. Thank you, guys. Oh, thank you. Happy Mother's Day. To your mother's and to you, beautiful girl. Thanks, Laura. Thanks, Laura. Bye. Okay. She's awesome. She's the best.

She's smart. She makes me feel very dumb. But she doesn't mean to. I'm happy. How often does that happen, do you reckon? That she makes me feel dumb. This makes people feel dumb. No, just in general. Just people make me feel dumb. Yeah.

I think she's showing it now. Clint, Megan Dan. Who dares that? All right, we just had Laura McGoldrick on who said it is not possible. But generally, when there's a big weekend of sport, we get Dan to call a place or town and see if they will pledge their allegiance to the opposition. And quite often it's a success, isn't it?

Even though begrudgingly they might not want to do it. They do it because they're a good person. Okay, so Dan has to pretend he's from, the media team of the opposition. He just needs a quick grab of them, you know, cheering on a team that they shouldn't support. And there's not much open at this time of the morning, but I have got the number of a mechanic.

Because they usually start early, don't they? They do indeed. And they usually, it would be a good chance of getting like a rugby supporter. Yeah, after talking to Laura, I don't have high hopes. Yeah. See, here we go. All right, you've got to be persuasive. The mechanics, Brad's speaking.

Dan calling from Auckland Blues media team. How are you? Good thanks, ma'am. Hey, you've got a couple of minutes. I'm just ringing around some Christchurch businesses for the big game this weekend. Obviously, the Blues, our boys coming down to play the Sators this weekend. Yeah, yeah. I was wondering, are you a big Sators fan?

Pretty keen. Yeah. Yeah, you know, you've got to support local, right? You do, you do, you do. But actually, what I'm asking today is I'm just wanting a few cantabrians to pledge their allegiance to the Auckland Blues. And I'm just going to play like a little bit of a montage of different voices from Canterbury, just going up the blues in the changing rooms before the game. Would you be willing to just say that for me so I can play it?

Nah, definitely not, mate. Not me, man. Yeah, but I'm a true crusaders band. I know, but you just look like a really good sport if you, if I, you know. No, probably not this time, mate. Yeah, what about now? But what if I just said to you? No, no.

Okay. No. There's just nothing I could. You have to keep trying, mate. Nothing I could do. Nothing I could do. I don't think my friends and family wouldn't talk to me. Yeah. What if I gave you a bit of cash?

No. 50 bucks. It's not going to work, buddy. 50. That's amazing. You are. It's actually a good entabrian. It's actually Clemega Dan here from the edge. We're trying to see if we can get crushed it.

Yeah, good for you, mate. You pass the test. I'll be sleeping out in the garden tonight if I think that, mate. When your family and friends hear this, they'll be very proud of you. Yeah. What if I gave you a hundred bucks? He doesn't have any money. No, mate. You couldn't give me the world.

Sorry, man. My final offer, one million dollars. No, no, not worth it. Okay. No, no, no. And all I can say is good luck to you boys come down here. She's going to be a hard one.

Yeah, great. Thanks, mate. Bye. Have a good one. Brad's a good sport, in he. Yeah. And you know, I respect him. Yeah.

I respect him for not wavering on his support for the Sators. Laura was right. All right, employee of the week coming up next. We don't praise the person who deserves it. We try to remind you of why the others don't. Oh, Meg, watch out for that bus. It's the hedge. Clint McG and Dan.

Who deserves it and who doesn't? Clint Megan Dan's employee of the week. You're the best around. The things are the things that keep you down. Okay, the rules are we throw somebody under the bus for why they don't deserve it and whoever gets the least amount of nominations against their name wins. You're lucky Dan.

I'm not throwing you under the bus this morning. Thank you so much. You're so welcome. I thought, you know, we could actually be on each other's team this morning. Oh, good on you. So, Clint, I think you need to work a little bit harder as your boss to be ready and be professional when we turn our microphones on. Okay. With you on that one.

Two bars, date. Okay. I have to share now. I'm so irrelevant. These two were fighting. and Meg's burn was Why don't you put something in one of your cargo pockets You've got 17 of them

Just because I've got cargo pads Tons of pockets on those pants What do you need that many pockets for? No. Okay, so actually what that just proves is you to are mucking around And you're distracting me It proves a lot of things actually

It proves that you're a terrible anchor, Clint It proves that Meg's a bully And it proves that I'm the only one Really willing to do my job properly And that Dan, if you need someone to hold something It's always going to have a specific pocket Oh yeah, I've got plenty of room you go to. Chapsticks, cell phones,

And most of all, I want to thank the listener of this radio station. Not really, no. Yeah, but you've got to, you've got to milk the moment when it's probably your first or last time.

Which one of your pockets do you want to put the trophy? Probably the thick one here. Okay, fantastic. Scanweed lines next. And then 8 o'clock this morning. Hit the spot is back. We'll do him 30 on edge. Clint Meggin' Dan.

Clint McGahn's scandal. KJ. Upper has caught up Mr. Fantasy saying the impersonator is ruining his life. And there was recently a music video that was released that included a bunch of people who were really close to me by a guy who was completely and utterly stolen my image and my likeness. It's because I just lost on a huge job and can no longer go in for serious work. Everything that I've worked hard for now come to a halt because of this idiot. And Kevin Hart has confirmed a rumor about Dwayne the Rock Johnson saying he does in fact have assmouth. Factual. Some of these things aren't even roast. I think sometimes me just being very blatant with honesty, as mistaken as a joke.

But if you talk to DJ, you too will discover that he has ass mouth. That's me and Rock. All thanks to Moody, find a golden ticket in Moody's protein balls when a shot at a Range Rover. I need to address that Meg's read that so professionally that it could be misconstrued that they were actually faps. You're right. According to Kevin it is. I'm just respecting his words.

He said that wasn't a roast. In fact, he gets upset when he says truthful things and people think he's joking. There's nothing worse than bad breath, though, I ask mouth. Oh, God, if I beat someone with bad breath, not good. No deal. Have you signed a petition yet? There are a few short. You may have seen the fire service petitioning

in your part of New Zealand. We're going to get one of the fire chiefs on to find out what exactly is going on because we love our fire service, especially when you need them. Clint Megantan. It's something we want to put on your radar that's really important at the moment.

Fire chief Dave Phillips joins us to let us know what is going on with the New Zealand fire service at the moment. Morning, Dave. Good morning. How are you going to go? Yeah, good. Better than you, I think, by the same. sounds of it. What's going on at the moment, Dave?

Yeah, it's a bit of a dire emergency, isn't it? You would have seen a lot of stuff around trucks breaking down and firefighters on strike. It's not good. Yeah, you know what? I have an actual story about this, Dave. I was with my son the other day out for coffee, and he's obsessed with fire engines, which a lot of

young kids is he's too. And there was a fire truck that pulled up next to us and the firemen were very kind and came up and they saw that George, my son was looking at the fire engine, and they let us sit in the cab. And they had a great time, and we talked to the fire service officers, and then we got out of the truck, and they got in to turn the truck on and it wouldn't start.

Oh, man. And apparently this is a common occurrence. Yeah, look, both of those are common occurrences. We love our communities, so we're often out. We see kids and gets away. But it is one of the best parts of the job is interacting with the younger members of our community. But, yeah, it is a shame that the trucks that we have are often. and breaking down.

We've got a situation at the moment in Auckland. We were down to one big ladder truck. Those are the big ones that go up nice and high. And when you think about all the large buildings that we have in Auckland, the big warehouses, the high rises, we've literally got one truck in Auckland that can respond to those big events. We need something to get up and high and squirt water from the top. That's shocking, isn't it, when you think about that?

Absolutely. And why is it because there needs to be more funding, like how do you guys get the funding? Yeah, look, it's complicated, right? So we get funding from your insurance levy. So anyone who pays insurance on their vehicle or on their houses pays a portion of that to fund the fire service. That's a really important thing to note. Our community needs the fire service and they fund it in that way.

Yeah, and you're finding people walking away from being a firefighter altogether because they've kind of had enough or they can't continue on with the way things are at the moment? Yeah, it's an interesting one, right? We often talk that this is the best job in the world, and yet fire and emergency, you know, one of the worst employees. to work for. And so we've got this really strange situation

where firefighters stay in this career for a long time and it's because of people like yourself with your kids on the side of the road who, when either you see us and you're happy to see us or you call us when you need us, that's the massive driver for why we do this right. But you're eternally frustrated by the fact that Orator was in their truck not six months ago

and there was a house fire literally a minute down the road and their truck couldn't start. And so that is incredibly frustrated. I mean, this is a very shocking stat as well. I'm just looking up online. So the average age of a police car in New Zealand is around three years. The average age of an ambulance in New Zealand is around five years. The average age for a fire engine in New Zealand is 15 to 20 years old.

Yeah. Isn't that, that's a shocking step? Yeah, that's crazy. Who came up with dire and emergency? Because they need a day off. That was an incredible. Genius. Genius.

Listen, I will do a little shout out. We've got a guy, Jaron Phillips, he's got the same name as me, but no relation. He is an absolute legend, and he single-handedly almost runs our entire media campaign. Sharon Phillips is doing a fantastic job. We'll get a bounceback set up to direadurgency.N-Z, so other people can sign the make it nice and easy for them. Text the word D-I-R-E- to 3-3-4-3, and I'll send you back to the league. Awesome, team. Thank you so much. Dave, appreciate you taking the time, mate.

Well, speaking of hot, if we can segue that way, Dan has a new hobby, and we're doing hot or not hobbies before 8 o'clock this morning because Dan thinks it's pretty cool. It's not necessarily a new hobby, but I've been informed that it's definitely not a cool hobby. It makes you happy, it's fine. Yeah, I don't think hobbies need to be cool. I'm going to obviously back that because you guys make fun of my hobbies all the time. But do you do a cool hobby? I'm interested to know if there is some cool ones out there.

Is surfing a hobby or is that a sport? That's more of a sport. You've got to be careful. Skateboarding hobby or sport. Maybe once a hobby gets cool, it becomes a sport. Maybe. Maybe that's the thing we'll discover. I don't know if fulting animals is going to be.

It's definitely not a sport. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. My wife had her friends over the other night and they were doing their hobby. They have a thing called Stitch and Bitch. Where they do embroidery and they stitch and sit around and like... Bitch. Bitch.

I don't think they do much But that's what they call it anyway And they sort of sit around and talk When people are texting in their hobbies By the way Dan Is the difference when a hobby in a sport When there's competition involved It becomes a sport

Yeah I think though if you're doing Some sort of thing that could be considered sport But you're just doing it by yourself leisurely I think then it can be considered a hobby It's when you're competing That's when it becomes a sport But then I know that I know quilters go in competition So is that a sport

How do they compete in that? Well you make it a quilt and then it gets judged? No, then it gets judged. And maybe you have to be able to represent your country in it. Okay, true. So anyway, I also took in my hobby that same night and I went out and

played with my remote control caro in the garden. Not a euphemism. In the garden! And they were all inside and didn't, they all thought I was out because I was outside enjoying myself. Did all you mates come over? No, no, it was just me. And she like a kid being like, get out of the house. Mum's got friends.

Last time they all came over, I sat in the lounge with them, and then afterwards, Hannah was like, can you leave next time? It's sort of a girl's thing. It's also stitching bitch. Yeah, they can't bitch while I'm in the room. Yeah, they can't binch about you. So anyway, I left and went in and played with my own remote control car. I came in, and what ensued was a debate between me and the girls

around who had the cooler hobby. Now, I would argue from a male perspective, playing with a remote control car is cool. Yeah, see, I'm getting thumbs up from people. I would argue, obviously, on the other side, that being able to create a cool embroidery piece to hang up is cool. But embroidery, when you say embroidery, it sounds boring. It depends.

Like, I've seen those cool videos on Instagram where they've got like these dirt tracks and then they, like, come racing around, they fill them up with petrol in like six seconds or less, and then they go around. Whereas I think the only time you were going to compete, it was at a primary school, and then you couldn't work out if it was for children or not,

so you bailed. I have entered another competition, which is happening next, not the Sunday. but the following Sunday. Is it a race then? What do you have to do with the competition? An obstacle course? Yeah, it's an obstacle course

with my new remote control car that goes up hills and down hills. It's a Jeep, is it? What is that? He's been literally, behind the scenes, I'll be doing a break on ear talking and he'll start driving it

and will start going up my body. Yeah, I managed to go over Meg's boobies with it. That's how impressive this car is. So right now, you can imagine it's driving up me. It's up my body right now. Your remote control car is giving more action than you, Dan, at the moment. Yes, yes.

So I wanted to do a segment where you call us. I went under the edge. You can text through 334-3. Tell us your hobby. And we can kind of be the judge as a nation as to how cool your hobby is. Right. You guys all know that I've got what is, I guess,

uncool hobbies. I'm just thrown out there. I don't care if it's cool or not. If you like what you do, you like the good on you. Yeah, but only out... It's cool to have a hobby, full stop. Wasn't producer Carl. You were like sailing like electric yachts against old dudes.

Oh, yeah. Me and the boys, I mean, they're all over 60. but yeah we'd raise remote control yachts pretty cool on a Sunday That's cool, see I think that's cool But I'd imagine that a lot of girls would be like a lot of loser Yeah, my wife doesn't really talk to me much that day Okay, what about a chutney that I made? There's nothing cool about a chutney

It's the word chutney Okay, well, just chatting. Painting, painting's cool. Painting's cooler. Painting's cool, yeah, it depends what you're painting, but generally painting's cool. Producers girl. What about Clint's hobby?

Beer? Yeah, that's not a hobby. hobby. The thing is he excessively drinks and then he gets all handsy. And there's nothing cool about a handsy guy. That's not true. I've never got handsy with you. My husband's been learning Whitling. Were you like Whittlewood into little like figuring?

Oh yeah, we can't talk about that on the radio. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. And the meantime, we are talking Hot or Not Hobbies. Stupid. This is so dumb. I'm so anti this. Just do a hobby. Yeah, but you know, I agree with you Meg, but some of them are cooler than others.

Like if you hear that someone's a Into quilting, I go, oh, God. Why is it all women's hobbies to you, boring, embroidery, quilting and chutty-making? There'd be other stuff that I'd get bored with. Like, people that play like Magic, the Gathering and all that stuff. I'd go, oh, well, thank you. Dan's into RC cars. How many have you got now?

I've got five now. And you know what? People will think that that's lame. That's more than my nine-year-old. He's got three remote control. Does he? I should come over and play. One of them goes on water.

Oh, none of mine do. Yeah, so I want to know this morning, 0-800-the-Eage, Text 2-33-4-3, you tell us the hobby that you're doing, and we'll be the judge. All right, we've got Freud. Morning, Freud. What's your hobby?

Hello? Hello. Hi, Freud. Good morning. Yeah, so I do magic as a hobby. Oh, that's hot. We love hobby. Now, magic the gathering cards,

or magic as in, like, magic tricks? Just confirmed. Magic as in magic tricks. Now, I think that's... Yeah, I did a bit of magic cards, but also. Okay. Going to magic. Doesn't surprise me.

I think that you are, the magic's cool. Oh, definitely cool. If you're good. Magic's great. If you're good at it. And you know what? It takes a lot to become good at magic.

Like a lot of practice because it's slight of hand. Because you're not actually magic, are you? What's your best trick? Yes. Oh, it's kind of hard because it's subjective, really. Some people like, you know, slight of hand and all those stuff, they find it clever. Some people want something like mentalism,

or if you seem to read someone's mind. I love that. It's my favorite. It's my favorite stuff, yeah. Yeah. Could you make Clint disappear? No. For real.

Actually, if you, this is almost like, is this your full-time job or a side hobby? Because I've said that you've got a website magic byfroyd.com. It's based in Christchurch if you need a, if you want to hire it. Yeah. So it's actually a hobby of mine for now 18 years now. Oh, wow. Yeah, it must be good. And then I just ended up like.

You know, why don't I just do it for something? And then friends, like, wanted to recommend me to their friends and stuff. So it started there and then now it's a side hustle. We were talking about that off here about whether we think if hobbies are still hobbies if you're getting paid for them. I don't think it is. When you get paid, then it's not a hobby anymore. I tell you what, Freud might be able to make me disappear for a couple of weeks in July.

Okay. Oh, that's got to use magic. Ben, what's your hobby? I'm a skydiver But I'm with you Dan as well Brickin R-C's a cool bro Yeah thank you Thank you Ben

And you know what Your hobby of skydiving even cooler That is a cool Like that is cool Yeah gosh wow To be a hobby How often do you have to do it Compared to just being a person

That likes to do a skydiving And you've done in two or three Odd weekends No I've done over 500 So it's a hobby Oh yeah that's a hobby Oh yeah You've done enough to take other people skydiving

in tandem? No, well, I started my tandem license, but it becomes uncool exactly when it becomes uncool when you get paid to do something. Yeah, and then sort of lose the fun because now it's a job. Yeah, and I don't know.

Yeah, that's what we were just saying. So then it pertains a job, not a hobby. Yeah, okay. Skydiving's cool. And RCs are cool. Thank you, mate, thank you. Cassandra's texting saying she makes cards and she's a scrapbooker.

Love that. Dan. I mean, it's, there's just nothing exciting about it, is there sitting down and pasting stuff into a book. Grant plays Airsoft with his mates. What is that? Oh, I don't know.

I think it's that like gum. I don't know. Do I need a music change? Grant, good morning. What's Airsoft? Morning. How's it going? Yeah, good, mate.

Yeah, airsoft. So, like I said, we basically dress up, but we're in the army and we run around and shoot each other with BB guns. Oh, like paintball. I hate this segment. It's kind of sacrilege to compare it to painful, you know? Like the airsoft community doesn't like.

Oh, don't they? Is it actually worse? Does it hurt more? Oh, it's a lot more tactical. I wouldn't say it hurts more. If you get, like, if somebody shoots you real close, it can hurt a lot more, but it's a lot more tactical. Like paintball the guys just sort of run around and shoot, right?

Whereas airsoft, you've got to sort of make proper plays, make good decisions. Oh, it's like trying outsmart the other things. Is it like playing call a duty, but in real life? In real life, yeah. That's exactly how I explain it to him. This is all the stuff. Yeah, pretty much exactly what it is. You know what I think you're right, Big.

I think there is, you just do what you want, hey. Yes. Whether it is that person that's just text through topless baking. Topless baking. That's dangerous. That's an extreme sport if you've got big boobs like me. That's cool. That's not something I would want to do.

You wouldn't do that with like boiling water. No, you wouldn't be doing at the oven. Why have we spent so much time talking to the magician when we've got people baking topless? It's all they can see them, Clint. Stop sexualizing things. Yeah. We could do a video interview with that one.

Oh, my God. Oh, too far. That's a shame. Honestly, Meg, I'm with you on this. Thank you, Dan. Pathetic little men. I'm with Meg. I'm with Meg first. I will say card making, though.

No, do what you want as a hobby. Next. Dan is going to attempt to hit the spot. It's been a while. Can he do it? You could call it a hobby. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, oh my gosh.

Here we go. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. Hit the spot. Whoa. Bring you back for Mother's Day this Sunday. We were racking up.

brains as to a Mother's Day song, weren't we? But we came up with the perfect one. They were in the country last weekend. Mom, fit and son. No, your phone been mine. Now, Dan is here behind the scenes. He's listened to the song so many times he never wants to hear it again after this moment.

Yeah, I loved it before this. It's just a particular part of the song I've listened to a lot, though, so maybe the rest of it. If you skip it. If you are brand new to the show, then welcome. How this game works is that Dan is going to sing in time with the music. I'm going to pull it down. It'll be playing silently in the background And when we bring it right back at the chorus

He has to be Perfectly in time We've tried to give it to you before When you're like half a second out And people were furious The problem is we gave it a practice Didn't we on air at 6am? Yeah, nailed it

Yes you did But that didn't count Which you wouldn't count it if you'd missed it either It was just a practice run But unfortunately it was perfect So everybody's here This is the thing that makes me nervous As a lot of people appear

In the producer's booth to watch We do So here we go There's no actual lyrics to this It's probably one of the hardest hit the spots I've ever done because it's really hard to keep time. I'm keeping it with my heel, banging it along the ground. Yeah, it's also really long. Yeah, you're right.

It's just a hum and it goes for a very long time. The longer you go, the harder it is obviously to keep in time, but are you ready? Okay, I am ready. Hit the spot. Mumford and Sons for Mother's Day. Hit the jams, Clint. Okay. As always, give you a little bit of time to find your rhythm and then I'll pull it down. Come on, Dan.

Well, it was not your phone. Leshco. So great just hearing how many incredible mums are out there and being able to read people's letters. I do think all the letters that are being submitted to us, we need to get them to people's mum somehow. Yeah. When you register, hopefully you saved the letter so you can send it to your mum.

If I was one of the mums, I'd get it printed and then use the money on the Preci-card to get like a beautiful frame and put it up in my house. All right, well, all thanks to Precii card for the mums, grandmothers and mother figures. celebrate this Mother's Day with PRISI card. We have a special Mama on, and it's our final one for the week.

Hi Lisa. Hi Lisa. How are you? Hi Lisa. How many kids do you have? I've got two. Two kids, a daughter and a son. Okay, so who's the favourite? Yeah, might have nominated you for this Mother's Day price. Oh, I think it was my little girl, Amelia.

It is Amelia. She's written something into me. I'm going to read it out to you now, the words that she wanted to give you for Mother's Day. Oh, wonderful. Dear Mum, thank you for absolutely everything you do, my beautiful mum. The way you have supported me... Don't start Lisa, I'm trying not to cry. You're putting her off, thanks up!

No, cry away. The way you have supported me throughout everything in every stage of my life is beyond amazing and I am so grateful for you. You bring everyone so much laughter, happiness and positive moments to every day. You are really one of a kind. You're the person I trust for absolutely. everything. You're truly my best friend. Thank you so much for your advice, your empathy and your honesty. Thank you for even the little things like doing the dishes, picking me up treats on

the way home, cleaning, driving me around. You bring me so much happiness. Actually, wait, I can't see through my tears a second. Sorry, you bring me so much happiness and everyone around you loves you. You really are the person I look up to. I really hope to be just like you when I grow up. You have. Oh my goodness. supported me throughout everything in my life. And now that I'm almost 21, I feel like as I get older, I get closer and closer to you every day.

So thank you for bringing me the best life I could ever have. Oh, my goodness. She's on the line there. Hi, Amelia. Hi. Hi, Millie. Millie Willie. That's just beautiful.

Thank you so much. I'm like peering up hearing that right now. You're like, wow, I'm beautiful with words. Chin Goode. Chibet nailed it? No. Oh, wow. Do you know the bit for me, Lisa, as a parent, that hit home the hardest,

and I started getting all glassy-eyed, was when Amelia said, you truly are my best friend. I was like, man, if your kid sees you as their best friend, you've absolutely nailed parenting. You've clocked parenting, yeah. Wow. Wow, it's got a lot to do with her, too. She's an amazing human being.

I got very lucky. Okay, well, you're even lucky, Lisa, because she's won you a $1,000 prezy card. Oh, my God. A thousand bucks! Let's go shopping, darling. Oh, I'm seeing you. You'd spend at least half it on you, Lisa. At least half.

Well, because we know you were going to do that, we've got a presy card prize wheel, and there are a whole lot of epic prizes on there from GIFT station. Yeah, yeah. And what you have won for your... gift this morning that I think... Meg's free selling because the wheels lost

if we're being honest. Yeah. Lisa. Do we get Lisa to pick what she wants? Yeah, give her an option. You have a good idea. Lisa, yep.

Do you want the $500 Airbnb gift card? Do you want the hair health and beauty card, which you can spend at hair health and beauty places around New Zealand? Or do you want the restaurant gift card?

Ooh, I think I'll go for the restaurant gift card. I gave five hundred bucks the restaurant gift card and also $1,000 on a prezy card. So it's a pretty decent mother's day. Yeah.

Oh, thank you so much. If your son doesn't get you a trip to Fiji, he's probably missed out on Ben. Yeah. Yeah. Happy Mother's Day for Sunday. Wicked. Thank you, The Edge. I appreciate it.

And my daughter. That was beautiful. I literally need a moment. Yeah. Gosh. Now, who took that winning wheel? Because that's pissing me off. Someone's head's going to roll.

I'll sort it out. I'll get to the bottom of it. Thanks for that, Dan. Yeah. Okay, next on the show, going from something so lovely to something so tragic. Meg hasn't told us much about this, except that it was the worst day ever. It was, look, it wasn't the worst day ever in the way that nobody died, thankfully, but lots of little things were very wrong for me once I left work yesterday.

I felt like I was in a movie of bad. Is it now that we tell her that we'd orchestrated it all. I looked around for you at one point. No, I would have too. I'd be like, where's Clint. The plan yesterday was for me to go to the hairdresser after work. I'd had a couple of cancellations happen, so it was well overdue. It was very much so looking forward to it.

It was, wasn't it? It got to the point that it was like, I mean, not that it's a bad thing, but I was desperate to get a haircut and get my hair done. Can I just say it looks lovely your hair today? Thank you so much. Shout out to Hooked by Katie. I did manage to get there, but the lead up to it. The plan was to leave work, go there, grab a coffee, have my hair done, bliss.

Make like a proper time of it, I suppose. Because you guys go for like three hours. Well, I didn't, but yes, I rushed anyway. So I left work and got to my car. My husband had actually come in because I'd forgotten breakfast that morning. First stage of bad day. I forgot him breakfast. And so he said, I'll bring you some in.

And he brought me in a tank salad and also some beans. Because I've been eating a lot of beans lately because they're very good with Hashimoto's, which is my autoimmune disease. Oh, right, that explains it. Because beans by themselves are a weird thing. I know, I know. So he brought a beans and a tank salad. And I hadn't eaten.

And it was about 11. And I was like, I'm so excited to eat. Thank you so much, you darling, angel, husband of mine. I love you so much. So he came in, drop that off. And I was like, I actually have to go right away. Went to the car. Can't find my phone.

I'm about to eat the cellar. I was like, I'll eat the cellar quickly in the car and then go. Can't find my phone. I'm like, right, I'll go back inside. Come back inside. Dan, I see you. Oh, I saw she was very stressed. It was very stressed.

She was stressedy. She was breathing, like, really heavy. Because I'm like, I wasn't doing that. I was in a rush looking for my phone. And I'm like, I can't find my phone anywhere. Bell of the web girl rang it a couple of times. Couldn't hear it. I was like, right, okay, I've lost my phone. She was yelling?

I was not. So I was like, I'll walk out. As I walked out, Jeanette from the Bree, one of the nicest woman in the building is walking past me, and she's with Robert, and they're chatting. And as I walk past her, stressed, looking down at the ground, can't find my phone. She says to Robert,

she's a beautiful baby, you make lovely kids. And I thought, wow, Robert must have had another child because she was talking to him about that. And I was like, okay, walking past, only until I got to my card that I realized she was talking to me and I blanked her completely. So I just completely ignored you here, Robert. Oh, she's so lovely.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, she's so nice. I just didn't even look at her, just like so blanked her. And she would have calmed you down because she works at the breeze. You got a friend in the breeze. So when it was a... Unless you're Meg.

Dead to us now. Went to, went to look from my phone. I put my tank salad up on the dashboard. And I came back and I saw my car and my wind wipers were going full ball. So I left the car running. I was just running in to get my phone. What a weird prank for Dan to play on me or something to put my windscreen wipers on full. This is the sort of thing I'd do.

Yeah, but I thought it's weird. I got her. But what even? I know, I know. So I walk around. I'm like, why are they going on full? Over my door. And at some stage, my tank salad and beans, cup of beans,

has fallen off the dashboard, hit the window wipers, and landed all over my seat and in the foot well. Explosion of beans. Beans, beans of vinegaria and salad. You flip your beans everywhere. I look around, no towel, no paper towels, no phone to text anyone to be like, can you bring me anything? So I'm scooping up beans, putting them in the car back.

Oh, poor me. And I'm like, I'm now late to the head reason. I would have been crying at this point. I'm proper, like, lump in my throat here. I'm like, okay, it's fine. I'm scraping beans and vinegar. I sit down, beans everywhere. I get to the car park.

I go to pay for parking. It's not, it's payday today, but we haven't been paid. Declined. So then they get out another card. Meanwhile, are your feet still in all the salad? Yeah, I've got vinegarine and beans all over me. Miscolin stuck to my back. And I get out my other card.

People behind me again. I'm sorry about this. Declined again. Second card declined. So the second card had money, but I hadn't activated because it was a brand new card that came the male of the day before and I couldn't activate it because I didn't have my phone. You're a hot mess.

Declined. The client. Walk down. I'm like, right, I'm just going to go to the hairdresser. Walk down to the hairdresser and they twist my ankle in a little pot. Fall on the ground, mesculine saddle, salad all over it. Is this where Dan and I come clean and we say we made a little voodoo doll of me, but we just didn't think it was working. It works.

It works. I managed to get there and everything, obviously, was fine in the end. Phone ended up being in the pocket of my bag. Oh, me. Honestly. and if you'd found that in the first place I reckon all the rest of the stuff wouldn't have happened. Yeah, so.

Oh, it was a snowball effect because sometimes they do say these things come in threes for me. Sounds like it comes in sevens and eights. Jeanette thinks I'm a bitch. She already did. She already said that. It's fine. Beans of vinegar all through the car.

Do you want people to make you feel better by saying like the day that they had that might have been worse than yours? And then you go, you know what? Yeah. It's all about perspective. And if you had a worse day than Meg, tell us, let us know what happened.

And Meg, you could go, you know what? I'll take the best. beans on the floor and the declining double cards. Yeah, I would love anybody to call up by Hint to the Edge, what has been that moment for you? We're like, it's all gone wrong. Did you still have a bunch on the beans, even though they'd been on the floor?

Oh, I went to, and then it was covered in here. My dog uses that car, so I was like, I can't. Your dog can drive? I was starving. What? Clint, Meg and Dan. They say when it rains, it pours, bad things coming threes. Meek had a terrible day yesterday,

and we're just wondering if you can make it feel better by saying mine was worse. Obviously, there's like really bad days where things actually go wrong in people's lives. And then there's days like I had, which is lots of little things, just everything went wrong. There's still beans in my car, vineagery. That is explaining. There's so many beans, honestly. And, yeah, car declined twice. You know how like your old car you actually had something sprouting out of the seats?

Maybe that's how it happened. That was so moist. I feel like give it a few months and Mick might have a few other little seedlings coming out of places. A little, like, bean tree? All right, so when did you have a day like mine? Kate, good morning. Good morning. Okay, so this is the weekend of your wedding?

No. Yeah, so the day before my wedding, I was... Hi! Hi! Hi! The weekend before my... The day before, I just got roasted on my back. It was almost purple.

Summer. And then we also had weather warnings. It was a cyclone. coming through for an outdoor wedding. Oh no. Wait, so you got some burned the day before, the next day there's a cyclone coming through. Was it in Auckland?

Yeah. Northland, where they? Yeah, that's great. And then every time we set the tables up, everything was, like, flowing around. And then I get a call from my bar who's coming up from Auckland, and there was a, like, truck crash.

And he got stuck behind it? They got stuck behind a truck crash, so they were a little bit late setting up. Oh, my goodness. everything went perfect. We just couldn't take any photos of my back. Please tell me you didn't have like a backless dress.

Oh, it was backless. It was almost all the way down to my flight. Oh, poor thing. Terrible timing. Yeah, do you not have a sun tanning the day before your wedding. And Clayton, you'd be gutted, the bar being caught up behind a truck crash.

Yeah. I just tell myself that I'd add all my bad luck for my marriage then. You know, they must have. Yeah, getting rid of it. Jordan, morning, what was your nightmare day? morning. Mine kind of rattled over to a whole weekend. I decided that I'd have enough and I took the kids camping. So we went up to Goat Island but it was like really murky so we couldn't

snorkel. And then we went to our camp site and I sent the kids off for a walk because I was a bit stressed and didn't realize that it was a nudist beach. They saw a guy who was on the beach. And then it just kept on getting worse. I mean, it started raining and then I set up the tent and I didn't realize that the tent was all mouldy from the last time I put it away. Oh, I put it away. We're missing a pole for the tent. Went to the toilet and it was full of sandflies because it was one of those port-alooves, but like really chocker full of sandflies.

Oh, bloody how? And then, so I put my son in the car for him to sleep in the back of the car because of mould. And then he wet the bed as well. as well. Oh, bloody. Yeah, we went home. Are you doing that to get away from life? At least the rain would got rid of the nudists, hopefully.

They're not staying out while it's raining, are they? Thanks, Jordan. And Zara, you've got a theory as to what happens when these bad days go on. Yeah, it's called the burnt toast theory. Okay, how does it work? So, okay, so say, like, you have to go to work and you're making toast and you burn the toast, the toast and then you have to make another one. Those like two minutes between where you had to make a new set of toast

and the first set could have prevented you from getting into like a car accident on your way to work or something. So it's like buttery-indoo. So you start being thankful for the bad thing because it saved you from something worse. Yes. I like that. Unless you burn the toast and then crash your car and you think if I hadn't burnt my toast, I wouldn't have been in that accident.

Yeah, it works both ways, doesn't it? I love that mindset. Thank you, Zara. I've seen the movie Butterfly Effect. It happens. I love that. It's all perspective. Obviously, yeah.

I mean, my bad day wasn't terrible in the midst of what other people had. Maybe it was just making you avoid something way worse. Sure. Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. Maybe I would have gotten more beans. It's not about the beans. I think that's the thing she's most sad about.

Do you want us to go out and buy you some beans? We can do that if you want. One of the worst things is beans. You've got such bean in me. You should. You made it the whole way through.
