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. If you're not slightly aroused or mildly offended. Are you even listening? It's the Edge Breakfast. Clint me and Dan with Ash London.

Morning, it is 1 to 6 on your Monday, the 8th of September. Welcome to the show. Appreciate you choosing us this morning, tea. Oh, yes, we know you've got a choice. Unless you've just turned the car on and we just happen to be there, and then we'll take the default. We've got a friend staying with us who is an audio engineer and he does some work for another station

so he was obviously channel surfing around to listen so when I got in the car this morning, flavour was on I was like, the hell is this, what's going on? And then I realised I wasn't listening to the edge of flavour. Yeah, good on. It was like, I think it was that song, it was like, a la la la la la lo, la lo, no. That's actually quite a good song.

Don't I want to make you to play. Because I never play that. Really? Yeah, that's the first and last time they ever play that song. Yeah. Every time they just go, that's all. Who's this audio person that's staying with you? Some Australia is Adrian's best mate.

You want more details? We are going to get into a six-am throwback next, so... No, no, I hate that song. Okay, safe. Clint, Megan, Dan. Oh, my gosh. He dropped his album Friday nights if you didn't get a chance to listen to it. This is what Ash London actually says.

said about it. Oh, come on, mate. Oh, if any of the songs were any good, he would have put them on the first album. Yeah, and it turns out... Why do I have a Kiwi accent or was it? I don't know, I don't know. It was weird. He's tried to do this, training. Yeah, but it turns out. Bangers!

Yeah, I listen to it on the weekend, and it's a mixed bag, let's be honest. There's a few good tracks on it, yes, the first track, great. Speed Demon. Speed Demon. And there's a couple. Ten best songs on one album and not give us to slop. I agree. I agree. It's money making. It's cash grabbing. I get that.

But at the same time, I reckon he's put together two average albums when he could have deleted some of the fat and put together a really solid one album. Then do you worry that most people have like two favourites? And then there are three tracks that kind of get like lost amongst the two amazing ones where if you spread them out, you know, I wonder if certain songs that are getting chat, wouldn't have got chat if he'd gone and dropped like ten amazing things. tracks. It's that when you want to be, look hot, get a photo with your ugly mate.

Yeah. That's close life. That's what he does. That's why he always gets photos with us. Oh, we're here. Yeah. Oh, you, mother. By the way, we, and I just want to give people listening fair warning that we're going

to be doing a blood moon release ritual today. I know. So any bad things you need to leave behind the past, negative emotions or memories, just by thinking about it because soon I'm going to, I'm going to burn them for you pretty much. Have you, I drive into work right now? Actually, look up on the sky because the blood moon, apparently. is visible around the country. In 20 minutes or so, we're going to be, like, soliciting.

So I want you guys to think about it because I don't want you to miss out on a chance to change your life. That's just getting witchy and witchier by the weekend. Yeah. But the time I leave this feeling position, I'm going to have like, I'm going to be like Elphaba. With like the black, the black witches, how I'm going to grow my nails out, like, talons. You get a big mole on the end of your nose? Yeah. Should always get them checked.

Yeah, you should. It's appeared out of nowhere, especially. I once had a mole on my ass because they used to go sunbeds when I was young guys when I was like 17, 18. had a mole on my ass it was really pretty though and I had to get it cut off and then I went on a date with this boy I'd like for forever

and the stitches split Oh Jesus, what a night That must have been if it split The stitches in your ass Smack that all on That was an ACON or what Yeah no no no no no

It wasn't That sort of split Yeah it was sitting on a high chair In a bar Oh yeah And it split I was like oh God Bleeding from my ass cheek

Yeah You don't want that on a date Do you? Like anything's going to happen On a date Bleeding from the bottoms That would be on your bingo card of the top 10 things you do not want

No, I would have called Exactly, so maybe you could put that in the ritual And go, I want to forget that from my life Yeah, yeah, okay, cool But if you do have Regret is a really good one to get lit to Because we can't hold on to regret No

I'll talk about, actually I'm going to do a bit of a woo-woo chat about regret when we do our release ritual Okay, it's coming up in about 10, 15 minutes this morning So if you want to burn something Let us know Not in an arson way We should get usher burn That a burn

Oh yeah We should get that ready to go Cue that up I love that song Can you laugh like a witch Ah Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha It's not bad

It's pretty good Yeah The Clint Meg and Dan podcast Off the back of Father's Day Yesterday We got talking here in the studio About whether Dad should be expecting

Anything from their partners So like my wife Jamie your wife Hannah Dan Whether Father's Day is one of those things Where you get special little favours and treats Intimate treats Yeah

I think you know My wife on Mother's Day is her I think quite often her specific request Is none of that That's her gift for the day And that's her prerogative No questions She's like I just want to relax

I mean obviously we're not our wife's dad So it's not like you know But I don't know Like it's our day right Yeah no my husband got a special treat The really fun kind See? The kind that requires nothing of him

But just to just exist Right And you're doing all the work I was doing all the work Wow Okay What a heavy lifting Yeah

Well Well Here's the thing You know how I'm still pissed off For my birthday He didn't get me anything Right Yeah two months ago

Two months ago And it's like nothing Not even a happy Not even a happy birthday Until he remembered So we wake up And buddy had been in our bed So like

We're all getting up And buddy's like Desperate to go downstairs So I said Oh can you just take him down And he goes, oh, yeah, I guess it. But he goes, and he's, come on, Dad, come on, Dad. And then Adrian, because we've been awake about five or ten minutes to this point,

and Adrian just turns over and goes, I would have thought that today of all days. And I was like, happy Father's Day! And because he had gotten in first, he was like, redeemed. So he was like, got up, ra-da-da-da-de-dee. Like, he was absolutely delighted that I had forgotten because he felt that we were even, even though birthday and Father's Day is not the same thing. No, it's not. But he did get a lovely little treat that morning.

I don't think it should be a thing. But I think of all days when you ask, as the dad, I think it... Yes, but if... I didn't even get called Daddy once. Oh, I did, but it was more like, no. Call me your daddy. Yeah. What did you guys get?

Did you get any presents, Clint? Yeah, so my wife must have taken the kids out and done the thing, where she's given them some money and they've gone and bought a whole bunch of my favourite things. Actually, we'll do Father's Day Hall of Fame and Hall of Shame after A. Either kids shouldn't be trusted with buying gifts.

Yeah, but it's so cute. Yeah. And I think it also, there will be a time where your kid will drop the ball and they'll go and buy a remote control car for Dad because that's actually what they want. But then when they realize they've dropped the ball. That's Dan's dream of you.

I would have loved to remote control car. Were you doing that as a gag or not? I don't think he was. I was like, where is he going with this? George had brought me a remote control car. I'd have been like, oh my God, best son ever. But it's like, okay, I'd say to my son, you just clearly bought what you wanted

with the money that mum gave you for dad. And then I think that happens one time and then the kid realized, oh, I've dropped the ball and they feel a bit guilty. Or at least you hope they would. So you've kind of got to let them do their thing because in the past I've guided them going,

I don't know, don't know if mum would want poor patrol toys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you remember this is your money to buy mom something she'd like. But I think you're just going to let them go for it. And it's so cute when they buy something that's like you so, wouldn't like but in their mind it's like

remote control cars are cool yeah okay and cland if you don't like yours i'll have it okay good to know was it a monster truck it's a good way to use some of that randall money to get what you want yeah yeah yeah okay cool uh blood moon is supposed to be quite visible uh visible today sanjay's already text who we know as an early riser always loves to check out the sunrise um yeah he said awesome view of the blood moon this morning have a great show team i'm going out now to look at it

okay last time it was just kind of like an orange g moon I think Blood Moon is really, like, overselling it. Yeah, they say it's like a once-in-a-lifetime. I've seen about 57 Blood Moon in my life. Is the side door open? Yeah, until 7 o'clock. I'm just going to go quickly check so I can mess out on it. Ash wants to do a Blood Moon release ritual.

We get rid of all the negativity in our lives. So if there's something you're hanging on to and you want us to write it down and burn it, 3343. Text it through to us now. As the Blood Moon siding today, they reckon it's the first time in a long time. You get to see one. Yes. Dan recognizes you see many. I reckon genuinely I've been told about at least 20 blood moons.

That's, okay. Well, you're still going to get on board with this one. Okay. Because we are having a blood moon release ritual. We are using this opportunity to let go of limiting negative self-beliefs, negative thought patterns, things that have happened to us that we can't get over. We're choosing to let them go and we're going to burn them under the blood moon.

I've got a couple of here. Do you want to hear what I'm going to do? Can you just explain what burning's going to do? Because I know that you're a bit woo-woo-ash. When you burn it, it's like a symbolic act of like, and you'll say, like, I let go of things that are no longer serving me. You burn it, you watch it burn, so it's like a physical act that's going along with the emotional act, and then you say, it's clear, I'm done, I can move on. All right? So I'm letting go of regret over past decisions, things I've done of the past, and I wish I had done or hadn't done.

I can think about them, I ruminate over them. And also just general rage, which I think is part of perimenopause. Okay. I'm letting it go. Until next month. Yeah. Right, mate. Oh, sorry.

Burn your face off. There's a few that have come through from listeners, so I've written them down on behalf. Yes. Adam said, I just want to burn the general Google history from my high school years. Don't make a joke of the blood moon ritual, though, Dan. Well, Adam wants to genuinely get rid of that.

Someone else has said the negative supernatural energy from our new home. Oh, that's a good one. So I've written that down sometimes. Oh, my God. I was getting ready this morning, and I heard somebody say while I was just brushing my teeth and stuff, and then I heard someone go, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, like four or five times

and I got a little fright and I turned, just Jamie and the other end up. And I turned around thinking, I swear to God I would have put my life on it that Jamie was behind me and I was like, oh my God, what she found. And I turned around, she wasn't there. Then I opened up the door to the bedroom and she was in bed asleep. Maybe she was sleep talking. Who said that? Maybe you need to clearly, you get negative energy.

Yeah, I think you need some sort of seance or something. someone's written oh this is clint's one week long celibacy classic from him get rid of that you know what i mean do you find that when it's being more than a week it just feels like an eternity yeah no one week is nothing for me yeah okay i want to get rid of that and my like annoyance towards it yeah um so keep them coming through i've just written brian tummicky down because i know you guys aren't taking this seriously and that's on you sucked into you i hope you have because this is a great opportunity for you to make your life even better it's another one in the blue I love you guys

He's new Clint's written Ash Ruining Yellowstone Season 5 Because you ruined it Screw you Remember when you told everyone about one of the main character bots? You're uninvited from the Blood Moon release ritual Now you'll be negative I want to see it.

You're not taking this seriously And you know what There's great opportunities the universe gives us to improve our life and to be better inhabitants of the planet and better to each other and ourselves and you're making a joke out so you can all get stuck Isn't that good though that Dan like

don't have that much regret that's a nice way to say it as opposed to just taking the piss out of my segment yeah okay come on Clint really do just Ashley can we burn that petty drinks they have out of football and I'm so hung over

Ashley is also not taking it seriously on three three four three Paul he said 14 visible blood moons in New Zealand over the past 30 years so one every two years okay so it's one in every 700 days we get it that's great

are you going to burn the fact that your husband hasn't bought you a birthday present from two months ago well that's part of me letting go of general rage What about when you decide to shout everyone that you go went out for dinner with in the weekend? It's all part of general rage as well. I get great. A lot of rage directed to my husband.

Can I burn an old pair of undies I've got in my bag? Not in the bowl with all of our intent. Okay. Not in the ball. Not in the last chance to get your negative things in and we'll do the list. We'll burn the list of negativity or whatever it is. Next, when we go outside. Yeah, mine's already in there, thanks.

Can I put my regret for agreeing to do this segment in here? Blood moon today in the sky. It's only one of two times you'll get to see it this year. Hey, no, every two years it happens smarter. Okay. Come on, Cliff. No one is taking my blood moon release ritual seriously. Sorry, sorry, Ash.

So I'm about to release some stuff and my life is going to get exponentially better and you're going to watch me fly. Hey, can we burn her rage car already? I reckon that Ash is about to release some stuff. I think I may be perimenopausal, hence me burning a piece of paper that says general rage towards the world. So if you didn't know, this morning, a blood moon is visible in the western sky across New Zealand. And if you struggle to remember that.

Look to the western sky. There are a musical theatre fans there. Okay, so the blood moon. So we're doing a blood moon release ritual. We've got a whole lot of post-it notes with a lot of listeners. Negativity on it and also our own. Yes. Including as ruining the end of season 5 of Yellowstone.

Yeah, one time there was a throwaway line and I regret it and I'm sorry. So we need to all say repeat after me together and then we'll burn it and then once it's burned, there's something else we need to say. Now, Dan, you have brought a can of deodorant which is making me nervous. I don't want you light it. I'm going to spray it. But you're also facing me. Don't shoot it towards Ash. So maybe let me light it and then I'll put it on the ground and then you can spray the deodor.

Okay. First of all, you need to repeat after me. Oh, God. I release what no longer serves me. I release what no longer serves me. By the way, if you're watching this on the Instagram later, I have a pilot's hat because I couldn't find a witch's hat. And I thought, I wanted where she was going.

This is the shudder's seance. It's not a seance. Right. Okay. Okay. So she's lit the match. She's now lighting all of the negativity within the bowl. Yeah, I'm going to light another one.

Clint's put his keys in there weirdly. I will need that from. Never know. We know sexual activity. Okay, it's on fire now. Okay, I'm going to spray out with some Rex owner. Here we go. Yeah.

Oh, it's burning. It's burning. The negative energy. Yeah. Get in there. Fantastic. Okay, it's burned. Now, repeat after me.

It is done. It is done. Get on board. Dan. Get on board, Dan, for goodness sake. No, that's not. That's not what we're repeat. That's just my...

Okay, I'm going to say it again. It is done. It is done. I am ready. I am ready. I am open. I am open. Woo!

Is anyone seen the bloodline this whole time we've been outside? Because I can't see it. It's in the western sky. Well, that's... Some direction. I have a compass on me. I didn't bring my compass today. I'm looking at the western sky.

There's absolutely no blood moon there. Oh, I feel good. I feel just so positive. Give us a call. Can any... Can any... Can anyone see it? Yeah, it's through.

3343 if you can actually see the blood moon because we'll come out here we've done this crappy ritual. Hey, blood moves not even in the sky. I tried to do a nice thing. Ash, you burn your rage. You should have no more rage if that worked. You know what?

You know what, you guys, I just... I'm going to move us along. Next, repeat after me. This segment sucked. No. Daniel, we need to move on because next we need to find out. How long?

is too long to sit on the toilet before you move into hemorrhoid territory. So that's a good segment. Get my giving the people of Altaeroa the opportunity to improve their lives exponentially is a bad segment. But let's talk about swollen veins in people's rectum. Yeah, how long is too long?

Because I reckon nine out of ten people sitting on there too long. Clint McGu-Den-Leshko. How long before you're in hemorrhoid territory when you're sitting on the loo? turns out I think most of us definitely more men than women

are surpassing this maximum time limit almost every visit out of interest put your hands off you or say I if you've ever had a haemroid I just me

yeah okay interesting I've never and I've heard that it can be horrible quite dehabilitating the worst part of my pregnancy what is it like what does it do so it's like the veins on the inside of your rectum

get really swollen and they can be internal or external and I'm pretty sure it's just uncomfortable to say it's like it starts of quite itchy that's how you know you're getting one and then it's like a dull throbbing all the boys

and the British are both the eyes like let up when you sit starts making it itchy and they're all like hold on and then what happens but then it's like a dull ache and you're sitting down when they get like in the ninth month of my pregnancy it was like I almost needed a

a soft like donut to sit on. It was so painful. Well, according to the study, people presenting at doctors' clinics and hospitals with hemorrhoids has really, really increased in the last 10 years. And they say that it's because of smartphones because people are using their smartphone on the toilet. They're sitting and having a scroll.

And it becomes a secondary thing doing their business because they sit down, do their business and then stay for the scrolling. And then they leave all their poo particles on the handset, which is discalibular. You should never be sitting on the toilet for longer than four and a half minutes, according to the study. NRL season, I'd be bugged because most of the highlights from the game prior are four and a half minutes long. Yeah, but you need to not even take your phone into when you're doing a poo. I sometimes four and a half, what do I think?

There's like some sort of record. That's how long it should be taking you to do a poo. Max. I agree. I'm not a scroller on the toilet. Apart for anything else, I don't want to take my phone in there. It's already a dirty item. But I'm a...

But from start to finish If you started the clock From when you sat down To end the clock When you've actually Cleaned up, done all your business And got up That'd be three minutes for me

Wow I reckon I could do that in like a minute and a half Like from sitting down to leaving a minute and a half That means our bowels are good Yeah I quite often sit down to wee as well And Why do you admit things like that on the radio

That people are just going to laugh at you about There's nothing to be ashamed of I really don't think there's anything to be ashamed of doing that It's just not very masculine. That's what it is. What is masculine? We're standing up to wee. Yeah, because girls would do anything, I think.

Well, not anything. But it'd be quite handy, I suppose, wouldn't it, to be able to do that? Oh, my, you're joking, to just be able to stand up on a wee wherever you want to. Dan's wasting that ability. I think I'd say 80% of the time I'm standing, but there's sometimes when I'm feeling really lazy. And as a guy, Ash, you won't know this. But sometimes, you know, aiming into the toilet is difficult. So why not mitigate that risk?

Just sit down, have a laugh. You would not handle periods. I could be the hot tip. So if you sit on the toilet, do you then have to duck put your penis into the bowl under the seat? It's not that big. I just sit down. Get God's gift to do the rest.

Isn't it tricky like when you're winding up a hose, you know, and it's all over the place and you're trying to... I know where that you're packed quite well, but even you aren't winding a hose up and down? Aren't you worried that you're getting germs from the toilet on the shop? Ash, it's nowhere near. What about when the tip touches the... water.

I get wet almost every time like going bungee jumping, you know, when your head goes puk and then comes back out. My one's that one where you say I don't want to touch the water when you do the bungee jump. It says Dan, I wish more men would sit down to pee. This person has said, especially at work. I agree with you, Ashley, that's text through. We go into the work toilets here. Have you ever been to the men's toilets, Ash?

Why would I have been in there? It is disgusting. I can imagine. How about Brock, I'd say three to five times a week. I've been on the toilet so long. My legs go to sleep. Yeah, been there, bro. What?

Yeah. And you get up and you're like, oh, am I going to fall over? Because I've got, like, pins and needles. Ethan says I've got a good mate that sits on the toilet 30 to 45 minutes a time. To we or the other one? Oh, I guess the other. Yeah. I've got a poo, like a little stool that we have in the toilet.

It's like a buddy's stool that he uses to stand up on to wash his hands. Right. And I always elevate my feet onto that. And it helps. It opens up the, and that's why I'm two minutes, max. Right, okay. Better Living, everyone. Scandal update next from Ash, London.

I'm prepared this week. We're going to talk about the MTV VMAs, which are happening in LA today, the Video Music Awards. I'm going to take you through the top five, like, biggest moments of the VMAs of the past. Because you may think VMAs, who cares? But when I talk about these moments

that have shaped cultural history, you'll be like, wow, the VMAs is a big deal. They used to be bigger, eh? Yeah, like, I'm going to let you finish. That's the VMAs. Coming up 7 o'clock this morning, spa full of stars, if you can tell us, A star that is in the correct spot

We'll give you a hundred bucks You get all five You win the Sparpool It's getting hot in here One more time It's getting hot in here All right best of luck Gossip and Entertainment

With me and Dan with Ash London Scandal The MTV Video Music Awards Are happening today in New York I think it'll probably be I think it's around like 1pm NZ time So our L Cool J will be the host

Oh wow He's done it before He's a really good host. Yeah, Mariah Carey is getting the Video Vanguard, which is like the Hall of Fame inducted kind of thing. And my man, Ricky Martin, is the Latin Icon Award. Our performers this year, Alex Warren, Jay Belvin, Doja, Cat, Lola Young, Lady Gaga.

It's going to be quite a good show. I've been, and Sabrina Carpenter, I've been to the VMAs before a couple of times. I went the year that I think Kanye performed one year. I went there. He was amazing. The whole thing is very strange. Because it's like you realize when you're in the room

how much better it looks on TV. Yeah, right. Like it really is all about how it's filmed as opposed to like the vibe in the room. But I know I always remember the VMAs. I haven't watched them like you say because they haven't been massive for probably 10 years, Ash. But they always have great sits.

It's always the lighting's always amazing. The performances are always out the gate. And I think often they have set up these kind of cultural moments at the VMAs. So I'm going to take you to the top five kind of VMA's moments. And then I may kind of talk about the fact that I think a lot of them have made you a bit manufactured. Oh, really? So first of all, back in 2001, Brittany Spears performed. This is like the height of Britney Spears' ear.

This is her singing, I'm a slave for you. And she had a live python that she was holding. And she said the whole time she was like shooting bricks. She was so nervous. So listen to her. Well, she's not doing a live vocal, obviously. Unlike Brittany. Yeah.

And you watch the video back and you can tell she's just like trying her best. to get through it, but she's terrified. The second big VMA's moment also involves Brittany. And this was when Christina and Brittany, in 2003, so two years later were performing, and Madonna appeared. And everyone talks about this as Brittany and Madonna pashing. But really, she patched Christina Aguilera as well.

So this is a bit of audio. You'll hear the crowd like go wild when she kisses Brittany, and then it cuts to Justin Timberlake with she just broken up with him and his face is like stone cold. They like to smell a bit in Hollywood How could it hurt you when it looks so good? And then Mr. Elia comes out Everyone's gone crazy

And Justin Timberlitz just like His face is like cement He's sort of screwed either way Because if he smiles like he's enjoying it They're like gross bro If he looks angry then he's jealous But if he has no expression And they're like, look at him

He should have just laughed. Like, ha ha, so, so funny. That's actually the play. You have to laugh. That's the play. I'd be in on the joke. I feel like that was crazy back in the day. If that happened now, it wouldn't be so crazy.

People are like, great. Two girls' wise passion. Yeah. And the next one is from 2015. This is, I think, is definitely manufactured. So Nikki Minaj had just won an award, and Miley Cyrus was the host of the event. So, Miley was on one stage, sorry,

Nikki was on one stage accepting her award, and Miley was on, like, the B stage, ready to take over on the hosting duties. And this is like, a week after Miley had, like, mentioned Nikki and some press. And now... Oh. Back to...

This bitch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press. Miley, what's good? That's good. So awkward. What's good? We're all in this industry. We all do interviews, and we all know how they manipulate shit. Nikki, congratulations.

And then it just goes out. But that's why I think it was so staged. I think Miley's response sounds. so scripted. Because otherwise, if someone actually did that to you in real life, you'd be like, you wouldn't know what to say. What's good is such a cool, like, A-Fagay-A, just drop the mic, what's good? It's so bad.

And she did drop the mic. It was so badass. Next up, speaking of Mike drops, Beyonce announcing her pregnancy in 2011 with Blue Ivy. So she just performed love on top. Kanye and Jay-Z are in the crowd. This is before Kanye turned into Kanye, and when he was just Jay-Z's bestie

and as she finishes the song she pulls open her blazer rubs her tummy and then the camera cuts to Jay-Z and Kanye and Kanye obviously didn't know so he's like patting Jay-Z on the back like

yeah you did yeah you did and the crowd went wild you're the one I always call when I meet you baby everything sucks that's a live vocal I'm going to put my live on

drop top stop That's the mic drop. And this is her, and then she opens up her top now, and everyone's like losing their mind. So gorgeous. It's a great bit of video if you ever want to watch it.

And finally, we can't talk about the VMAs if we don't talk about in 2009 when Taylor Swift got up there to accept the music video. Iconic. A VMA of a video of the year. And the stage was stormed. So thank you so much for giving me a chance to win a VMA award. No, Taylor.

I'm really happy for you I'm let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time one of the best videos of all time that's up there with the worst moment at the Oscars for me and the hardest thing to watch is when it cuts back to Beyonce

And then number five? Number five, I'm going Ricky Jervais. Oh, iconic love, Ricky. Bex, you have identified no new stars in the spa. I'm sorry, babe, but you've eliminated three celebrities. But Harry Styles is a good call because I do feel like that third voice is like... Could be Harry. It could be Harry.

It's like English or it's Australian, New Zealand, something like that. You know, you've helped a lot of people out, Bex, because there would have been a lot of people thinking Harry Styles. Yeah, I agree. They've crossed that off the list. There is a lot of pressure. But you're so good, Bix, because you're a champion. You have a wonderful morning, my darling. You do, bye.

Thanks, Vex. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Ask me anything. And joining us is Vic. Morning, Vic. Morning. How are you, darling? Now, you've got some viral attention for a lifestyle

that I'm unsure whether you are still a part of but used to be in the swinging scene and no surprise, Dan found the story. I know. I've always been so intrigued by swinging. Well, when sex comes into a maker generally makes no-sky's ears prick up. Yeah. There's an air of kind of secrecy around it, would you say?

Less so nowadays, but yes, there is some secrecy. And actually, some people quite like the secrecy. They like being part of something. that not everybody talks about, but people like me are burst in that bubble because I seem to be talking about it quite a lot and making it less secret nowadays. I don't know what it's like over there

with you guys, how many clubs and that you've got, but we've got quite a lot. We've got a real active scene. And most people on the scene now are breaking their taboos and they're pushing it out a bit more so it's still quite secretive over there. So how old were you when you were interested and kind of dipped your foot in, so to speak?

Or dipped another part of your body in, so to speak? I was 29. What are the rules, the two golden rules of swinging? What happens in the club stays in the club? And no means no. They haven't had great rules for life in general, isn't it? Yeah, really. Exactly.

Yeah, yeah. Unfortunately, you've got to say it in clubs, haven't you? You know, when people take the clothes off, it's almost like, well, they're in the run's aware, then surely the fair game, and that's not the case at all. Okay. So, yeah, no means no. Say Dan's a new being, that's his first time, and he's like, right,

let's give this a go. Hypothetically. Is he being watched a lot more than everybody else? like if you know someone's new to the club, because obviously they're going to be unaware of, you know, the etiquette, so to speak. So everybody in arrival has a tour of the building and we told what the rules are walking around.

It's not like drumming rules in, you know, how unsexy is that. But we put it across in a way, like, you know, to enhance your night. These are the rules that we all stick to just to respect one another in the venue and all that. And then we have like staff walking around the building all the time. So if anyone's got any questions that they want to ask,

they can ask them. Or if the staff see any, you think going on that might look a little bit then they'll deal with it. But newbies, you know, they tend not to break the rules. They're absolutely bricking it normally when they come in. And clutching onto their drink, you know, hugging each other. So you don't really get much trouble from newbies.

They're just like a deer in headlights, really. But honestly, within like 15 minutes, we wonder why they were so nervous. And within a couple of weeks, they're upstairs with everybody else. Is there any truth to the keys in the bowl situation? Because that's what I always hear, the stereotype you come in, you put your keys in the bowl, you grab someone else's keys,

and that's who you're paired up with. I mean, how horrendous would that be? Yeah. Especially if you're doing on dance, keys. No, no. I guess the joy of a swingers club is that you get to choose. You look around and, you know, yeah. Exactly.

I mean, we did actually try the keys in a bowl one night with like a retro night just to see how it worked. And near enough, everybody was like just rejecting the keys. I'm like, no, I'm not boxing off as somebody drives us fierce. Amazing. How does the club make money? Do you charge entry fee like a normal club and then drinks or can you drink? They're like, what is it?

What's the vibe? So everyone has like a membership. So they pay a 10-pound membership for a year. It's like a minimal fee just to cover costs and stuff. And then every time they come in, they'll pay, they'll buy a ticket to come in and the cost varies depends on the night. And that gets some access to everything, all the facilities and all the safety things that we put in place as well.

All that money goes towards that. And we've also got a bar as well, a fully licensed bar. But we do watch people's alcohol consumption, one, because people can push boundaries, but also it's not really good luck for guys, is it? You know, one too many vodkas and they get a bit of brewers droop. Yeah, exactly. Nothing worse. Nothing worse.

Everybody loses. Okay, we've got a lot of questions, understandably, coming through for you, Vic. This one from somebody saying, can you enter a swingers club on your own, or do you have to go as a couple? And if you do it go, do you have to participate? Good question. Oh, great question. I think you can go by yourself.

Ask me anything. All right, we are in the middle of chatting with Vic, who's the owner of a swingers club, and Vic we're getting a lot of questions through on text, asking about the type of clientele that go to your swingers club. How many couples are there, or is it mainly singles? It's really, really varied. Traditionally, it was mainly couples.

I'd say probably the last 20, 25 years. There's been loads of singles during the scene. It's a myth that it's just couples. Anybody is welcome, and they're all in demand. What about sexual safety? How do you ensure that people are kind of following the rules around protection? So we provide free condoms across the club and we provide latex free and king size for those that want them as well.

We don't leave them out though because we've had a few times where a guy has been like, in the moment put a king-sized condom and far too big and it's just like spoiled the moment. It just be my luck. So we have condoms everywhere. and we do, we have an organisation that comes in regularly and they offer free STI tests for anybody that wants them, they can walk in

or they can have it done on the knife. I really like the way you're talking about it and I would never do it now, I don't think. But in all seriousness, I kind of wish that this kind of thing was around, because I was a very late bloomer when it came to having sex and I kind of wish that this was around years ago because I think it would provide,

obviously it's maybe a high stressful situation, but I could have gone there and gone, you know, and had made friends, I'm guessing, and kind of go. And just normalised, maybe something that was still a bit scary for you. Yeah, absolutely. Clubs were around years ago, but maybe not over there. We've had clubs over here for 30 years, but they're all a bit more underground. Now we're out there advertising websites, podcasts, you know. So it may be a bit harder to find years ago.

But it's really liberation. And for people like yourself, you know, you wish you had it back then. For people now that have got a community, a big group of friend, it's not just about the sex and the swinging or the BDSM. And I've been to weddings of people that have met in the club. They've had babies. It's a real privilege to watch people's journeys. They've met in the club just to have sex.

They've actually met their life partner there. What warning would you give to certain couples that I imagine you've seen go in as happy couples wanting to experience something different? And then it's actually caused them to split. I imagine there is some sort of a warning if you're going to open your relationship to this, there is a chance that you could lose it altogether.

This is one of the reasons why I do my podcast to talk about things like this. You know, your relationship is paramount and you shouldn't really do anything to jeopardise that. And my main thing is, and it's quite common, I hear people say, oh, you know, our sex flavour is a little bit rusty, or our relationship has been on the rock, so we're going to try this to try and spice things up. That is a surefire way to end your relationship within weeks, probably.

And you've got to be both equally enthusiastic economy. be one more than the other because of one feel like being pushed into it, it's going to go wrong. Say when I go to one of your clubs and there's a whole lot of people, we're all mingling, we're chatting. Then I've decided that Ash is the girl for me and we've been, we've hit it off. Then what happens? Do we peel off into another room and do our thing or is it done all in the same room? So in our venue, we've got lots of different rooms and you've got a choice so you can go into a room on your own or like a maybe slightly bigger room. so you might have met another couple I had a room big enough

just for the four of you we've got big rooms for loads and loads of people so for those that are new you might not want to be public with everybody watching you so you've got a choice to put yourself behind closed doors

so then promotes to group play or open play later on so you've got a choice and then on the ground floor tends to be quite social we've got a bar we've got like a big music area with live bands and stuff on

so it's like a whole night of entertainment it's not just about the sex does the band stop when they're going to awkwardly playing. While everything's going down, they're like, do we stop now? When the clock strikes 12, the band stop player, and off you go upstairs. Love it.

No, not quite. Thank you so much. I mean, there have been instances where things have started while the band have been on. Oh. So we have to select our bands carefully. Yeah. Well, thank you so much, Beck, for an insight to fascinating world that I guess many know little about.

Well, any time, I've got 20 years worth of stories. But, yeah, no, thanks so much for having me on and being so reminded about it. Sebastian's sex through with, I think, what a lot of guys would be thinking right now. You're not going to read his name. I mean, David's text through. He said, I don't see the appeal. Someone could be with my wife for age and I'd be done in 45 seconds waiting to leave.

He's like, I'm going to start the car, babe. Go warm it up. Yeah. Oh, how good. And why she'd be doing that? Well, I think she'd be exercising her swing. All right, hey, Friday, every caller wins A double pass to Electric Cab

It's Corbett. This week we've given you the chance to fire us a headline on 3343 a headline that is so juicy that we're like, oh my God, please tell us more. I guess by the time we get to Friday we will have had four stories and our favourite one gets the fast pass

at 6 a.m. Ash has given us a little bit of a sneak peek at a story that you've got. I need your help because I really haven't nailed the headline, have I, boys? You've had a song to think about it. Have you got something else? Well, you gave me a good idea about using a bit of a pun

So, like, woman's experience at petrol station ignites love of humanity. Still quite long. I don't mind that. Yeah. But I must say on 3343, the text line, we're already getting some pretty impressive headlines. You guys get it. This one's long, but I definitely, I do want to know more. It says my boyfriend of six months has been cheating on me, and he doesn't know that I know yet.

Oh, delicious. I like rubies, a moment of buttery regret. Like, straight away I'm imagining the butter is going into an orifice. Really? I just thought she had something like a lovely pastry that she's like, that's going straight to my hips. Oh, maybe she's lactose intolerant. She's shadow pants at the bakery. Could have.

There's so many options. Okay, so Ash has given us her headline. So we would call her back and then we'd find out what ignited her faith in humanity at a petrol station. Hi, Clint Megan Dan, I love you guys. Thanks for calling me back. So this is my story. I last week was at the petrol station. And I didn't need petrol, but every time we get petrol, my little boy buddy knows.

and he gets a tweet. It's usually a little bag of cranberries and nuts because I'm a lame mum. Even though he wants the twigs. Yeah. He's out of meltdown on the way home from Kinney. He's had a big day. I get it.

And we're going past the Pedro station. He's like, please, can I have a drink, mummy, please? And he's just devastated. I said, you know what? Stuff it, yes. So we park, I get him out, carry him in, and I let him go to the pick and mix,

you know, where you get to choose the lollies and put him in a bag. Oh, that's the best thing, is a kid. I know. So I let him get four lollies. Oh, my lollies. You know, those things are full of sugar. They're so bad for him. But I was really proud of myself for letting him get four.

That he gets to consume over the week. Yeah, one bite. Yep. So then he's like, Mommy, can I try? Can I have us? You know we need to pay first, but the line is so long. I mean, that's fine. So we go to the end of the line.

There's probably six people in front of us. And the man at the front of the line goes, are you just getting those? I was like, yeah. He said, oh, cut in front of me. Go in front of me in the line. I was like, what the heck? In 20, 25.

I mean no one letting you cut in front of the line. He also needs to really check that with who's second, third, fourth and fifth in line because you're also... You're absolutely right. Cutting in front of everyone, but I didn't care. I would have been pissed off and be like, hold on, I don't approve.

Yeah, hold on. He gets to be the good, Gary, good guy. Yes. And you don't, but you're also letting people in front. All right. You're hijacking my story. Oh, sorry. So I get to the front of the line and then I hold up the lollies

for the guy to weigh them and he goes, oh, is that all you're getting. I said, yeah, because he said, no petrol. I said, no, he's like, oh, you can have that for free. I was like, what? And he's like, have a lovely day, my friend. And then the man who'd let me, then I said, that's so kind.

And then the man in the front of the line who'd let me in said, everybody needs to show a little kindness sometimes, don't they? And Buddy was like, what a beautiful example for my son to see. And then we walked out to the shop and I let him have his lollies and I drove home just feeling like so buoyed by, don't play lame music. What is wrong with you? He got four lollies for free, though.

I know. And it was a double kindness. We were let in front of the line And then he gave No one ever gives you anything for free At any business anymore There's no such thing as a free lunch In this economy

No So we had a beautiful moment And it made me want to like Pass on the kindness And I have and I really have been And I'm a kind person in general What have you done What have you been paying it for doing

This proved during the segment that some of our listeners could work at Stuff.orgho.NZ with some of these clickbait stories. This one here, Girl learns the hard way. Road rage is never the answer.

Something's happened there, backfired. This one, this one's weird. I mean, I feel like we got the whole story in the text, but my child was born with a full mouth of teeth. Really? Born with a full mouth? George was born with a tooth, one tooth. He's serious?

Yeah, he had like one tooth. It wasn't fully through, but it was coming through. It's really rare. I think it's quite common. Imagine when your baby comes out smiling with the full set. I don't think it's common at all, Dan. Isn't it? No.

Wow. Okay. No, because most babies don't have teeth. Gene's text through, sleepwalking disaster. It's quite uncommon. It's quite uncommon. It's not, though, is it? No.

Never heard of it. Okay, we're going to go with Jess, we've decided. We've got her on to tell her story. Good morning, Jess. Good morning, guys. Now, Jessica, you've text through. I'm going to read your headline, and then you tell us the story. It comes in and it says, man comes into a bra shop on stag-doo scavenger hunt.

What happens next will shock you. Okay, so I used to work at a bra store and this guy comes in and, you know, he says, today's my stag do, and I've been sent on the scavenger hunt. them is like coming in and you guys help me try on like a full lingerie set, etc etc. So the girls go into the changing room and they help him and they're giggling and putting all these things on him

and taking photos and you know it's all fun and then he thinks them and he leaves anyway later my manager is talking to one of the other chain stores in the different area and telling about the story thinking it's hilarious and she goes yeah that guy tried that with us two

weeks ago he wasn't on the same dude He had no guy friends with him. They were all laughing and joking. He's a circus fetish. That is disgusting. That is, oh my God. What a shadow of disgust.

What a story. Wow. Yes. Because it would have been weird that he'd come in by himself. Like if it was a stag, do you'd imagine all the guys would come in as well. They'd be laughing. It's like a dare. You're right.

You never see a lone stag doing embarrassing things without being pressured into it by the other lads. Because that's the whole point, right? you're having a laugh with the guy. Yeah, he's not like, oh, they're just outside, and I said, I'd just go and do this photo mode. What's he dealing with those photos later? My goodness, man. Oh, wow, what did you do after that, Jess?

Iran just became a story. Yeah, what else are you going to do? Have you reported him? Yeah, I would go CCTV, go to cops. No, I don't think so. I guess he wasn't doing this. They were just giving him the brahr and stuff. Like, they weren't for it.

Well, who knows how far they went. That's for Jess to know and no one else to find out. She's giving us the on-ear version. Thank you, by the way, Jess. Okay, so Jess, we're going to do this again tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday. So we'll have four stories. So you've got a one and four chance if your story is the best, and it's a bloody good one of getting a fast pass.

But you're going to have to answer the phone at 6 a.m. Friday. You also have to get in quick with your headlines, because as Jess was on air, we got one through from Anna, one wedding resulting in three funerals. What? I need to know that story. That's like a Hugh Grant movie. Yeah, exactly.

One wedding and three funerals. That's shocking. And a text through again tomorrow when we do this. I reckon you're in with a chance, babe. Okay, cool. Favorite story gets that fast pass and they'll get a call at 6 a.m. Friday. Remember every caller wins.

Electric A.m. tickets if you get on here between 6am and 10 a.m. Friday. She's the frontrunner so far. And other texts just come through that makes me want to throw up in my mouth. I can't read it on me. One night stand. Don't read it out. Don't read. You've got to pre-read, Dan.

How does that happen? All right. Your chance to win a $45,000 a spa as well with spa full of star. We know Avril Levine and Billy Eilish are in there. Who are the other three in the Sparple's yours? That person would have needed a Bissell. Your chance to win at eight.

Oh, he's at that carpet, stevia. Yeah. I got one of them, but you never loan it out. Never. Clint, Megan Dan. So you're taught in your ghosted. It's love that you're the lost. The end in your house.

You're matched in your house. You swipe and rejected. We like you're pelagin. We try. We cry. It's the hopeless hotline. And we're out of time. What's coming next?

See it as a short version. Poor love is sinking into his chair. There's a short version, but I just love watching Dan get angry and angry as he keeps playing. So this is our hopeless hotline. I host a podcast, got a hopeless romantic. It's all about love and romance. And actually, later on today, an episode's going to go live with our very own Dan Webbie. Oh, yeah.

Talking about love, romance and heartbrae. We'll tell you about that on tomorrow's show. God, she made me open up, man. Wait, wait, so... Your legs, no. Yeah, that's towards the end of the podcast. Wait, so that massive long intro, the Nipia Maid, says it's the Hopeless Hotline, and your podcast is called Hopeless Romantics.

Yeah, but we do a version of it on this show called The Hopeless Hotline. Right, okay. So he did get it right. Come on, man. Come on, man. So this is a chance for you guys to ride in with your love dilemmas or your situations, and we will help you navigate them. Because that's what we're here for, but like your cool, older brother.

mothers and sisters or best mates are in a judgmental free zone will help you through. I'm going to read this one. It's a bit serious today, so no more jokes from you guys, please. Okay. Okay. My wife of 10 years are passed away two months ago after a brief illness. It's made me realize that life is short and I don't want to be alone and I hate feeling empty. I'm 46 and I'm not getting any younger.

I know that relationships take time to build and I don't want to waste time. I want to get out there and start dating again. but I'm worried that my friends and family and hers too will hate me. What should I do? How long do I need to wait? When did the person pass away? Two months? It's been two months.

I don't know if this, yeah, two months. Life's short. You've got to get on with it. And people will be judgmental, I think, because everyone goes off. If it was me, but you can't say it was you because you got your partner still. And you don't know how you would react because you haven't been there. I agree with you to a certain degree, Clint. I think life is too short.

and get a move on, not two months after. Yeah, but what if the person that you meet, the perfect person for you, you bump into two months after. And then you wait and you've required, let's say, four years. And then you never meet that person again. You miss the boat, it's gone. But I would be still, if Hannah passed away,

I wouldn't be even thinking about, like, dating for at least probably a year. And even then, that seems quick for me. And I've never been in this boat, so I can't talk fully. but it seems, but it seems quick. Well, I will share those statistics that men remarry at higher rates after a spouse's death. So with over 60% of widowers,

so men who lose their partners, are remarried within two years. Remarried? Remaried. Wow. Whereas only 20% of women remarry within two years, which, I don't know, says a lot about women and men

and how long we kind of hold onto the flame, but also how long we're willing to be alone. So for this person, we'll call this person, Mike. No one is, I don't think no one would contend the idea that you're allowed to move on. But I think the question is when, you know, how soon is too soon. Put it this way. If Hannah, if I pass away and Hannah gets together with another guy two months after I died. Yeah.

I don't want that, but. You got to want that. I would be in that room every night. You wouldn't. And I would be like. You want Hannah to be happy. So full disclosure, my marriage is the product of my husband. been having the courage to move on.

He unfortunately lost his beautiful wife, Lowe's, to cancer. And I was the next wife, which, you know, like many people think, oh, very, very awkward. And I must say, we talk about it like I would haunt the person, I would want my best friends to hate the next woman, but I was welcomed into his life with so much love and happiness. Every single person in his life, his friends, his family. even Loss's family was so happy that he had found happiness. Yeah, because you're right, if you actually think about it, this friend of yours is miserable.

They've just lost their life partner. And if they can find any sort of joy in somebody else, then wouldn't you want that for them? Wouldn't you be like, oh my God, I'm so happy they're not alone every single day? But I think there is one detail that changes everything. So I never knew Loss. Adrian didn't know me when they were married. I came along afterwards, and I would like to think.

think that it was like, in a way, him and Loz were meant to be together and me and Adrian were meant to be together. This was how it was always going to go. If you were Loz's best, mate. If people knew me and I knew her while she was alive, I think that's when it gets a bit contentious. Like you hear about people who, you know, someone's at the funeral and starts to comfort the husband and then before you know it, they're hanging out more. I think that's where it gets tricky. And in that season, in that time I would say you have to wait for every season. You need the summer, a winter, an autumn and a spring.

You need a full year. And then out of respect, I think then you can start to, you know. If you have been through this horrific situation where you've lost your life partner, how long did you wait before you moved on? And like, were people okay with it? Because I think for some people, they may wait years and friends, family, you know, kids are not okay with it. Whereas in other situations, a couple of months is fine.

Yeah. How long was it? No judgment. as well. Absolutely not. Unless it was like a week. I'd probably go, unless you were cheating on your dying partner.

Yeah. All right. 0800 of the edge of 3343 on text. So someone sent a message through talking about love after loss. So this person's in their mid-40s there. They've lost their partner a couple of months ago and they're feeling really lonely and they want to get out there and start dating again. Among us we have kind of discussed this idea of, you know,

is there a time frame that you have to. to stick to out of respect to your partner, to their family, et cetera, et cetera. We kind of, I think, all agree that a year is like, first of all, no one can tell you how to grieve and what the timeline is for you. Of course. But I feel like a summer, an autumn, a winter, a spring. Going through all the seasons without your partner, I think is important to do once. I think it's sort of, you go and feel, whatever feels right and respectful for the person

that's passed away, I would argue that a matter of months, three months is too quick. Well, I text my wife saying, if I die, how long... Sorry, if you die, how long before I can start dating again? She hasn't got back to me yet, so maybe she's doing the calculations. Because this one came through and said, my wife and I have talked about doing this, and both of us have agreed to die alone if the other dies. What?

How old are you? Really? Both of them, so I reckon one of them's gone, no, I would never remarry, and the other one, and then the other one's gone, oh, yeah, neither. I think if my wife Hannah passed away, I'd shut up shop down there. No, we'd just be like. Like, that's a closed ride.

I'd be lonely. This is really interesting from Sarah. She said the partner who passed away may have had a long illness. So the one person left maybe ready with their grieving to move on. And this often happens when you slowly grieve someone for years and years, you become their carer. You know, that's very different to like someone getting, unfortunately, having a very sudden death.

Just text, my mate moved on after 10 or 11 months. He lost 80% of his friends over it. Hannah's text me back. I'd ask her the same thing. She said if I said if I'd, if you die, how long should I start dating again? She said, depends how old George's. Oh, George. Maybe three years.

Three! Oh, mate, you're giving you your goodies. Tight. We've got Alex from Hawks Bay on the line. Morena, Alex. Thanks for calling so. Morena. So something happened in your, in your final.

Tell us what happened. So it wasn't my husband. It was his cuddle. Grinda? So, yeah. Nan and Granddad were married for over like 40, 50 years. Longerings, yep. And after Nan passed away,

Brendan didn't waste any time. He found a blonde-haired lady that he's always wanted to be with, and he remarried her after four months later, after Nan's death. Wow. Four months remarried. He did not mack around, but again, if you're 80, mate, you got a lot of less time than the rest of us. But there's, I mean, after all those years of marriage. Yeah, then what happened, Alex?

So, you know, they had a wedding, a backyard wedding. There was only one child present. I didn't go myself because we were not happy as grandchildren. But it took about three years for his children to start talking to him. Wow. And did, was it, were they still together? Was it a long and happy union? Or did it's like, what happened?

No, no, she passed away. She got really sick. Um, she was a healthy lady when she met granddad, but then, like, a short period of time. Wow. Yeah, she passed away quite quickly and, um... The ghost of Nana goes. No, I'd say that. Oh, my God, dear.

Yeah, yeah, I think Nan was haunting him. Okay, she can say, I mean, you can't. The conjuring. Thank you, Alex, for sharing that story. That's so insane. Yeah, my, um, my Papa ended up remarrying after Nana died. But they've been together, like, 60-something years, and I honestly just don't. think Papa knew how to be alone.

He was like, he wanted someone to be with and he found Nana Ann and she's amazing and I have my celebrant license so I got to marry my popper to his new wife. That means you want to cry, that's beautiful. Unlike Ellie, whose dad moved on the day after her mom's funeral. There was something going on there.

I'd love to know, Ellie, if you're still talking to your dad after that. I don't know if I could... Day after. I think you would be forgiven if you hadn't moved on from that. You know, because I think a lot of people would find that hard to... I'd love my mum to move on. and to find happiness to somebody else. But after my dad's funeral, that was 20 years ago,

she said, I've met the love of my life. I'm not interested in ever doing that again. At the time, I thought she's old. You know, she's 50 or whatever. Yeah, 50. And now I'm like, she's so young. So what's six through saying? I reckon a minimum of four years

if you've been in a long-term relationship before you even start a relationship. Wow. Each their own, I suppose. Clint Meg and Dan. The wires went down by one point to Manley on Friday night, which means playoffs this weekend and we have just drawn

the reigning champions from last year in the year before that. Sudden death? Sudden death? Suddened. If we lose this, we're done. Yeah. But if we win, we beat the reigning champions

from last year. Imagine the G-Up, that would be taking that energy into the finals. And the running champions, of course, are the Panthers. There you go. She's good. Penrose Panthers.

Have we beat them this season before, haven't we? Or not? We've been them in the past. Yeah. So it is... I don't know, we'll go back in check, actually, the last time we beat the Panthers.

It is possible. I mean, yeah. Anything's possible? Up the wise. Yeah, okay. Very, very exciting with teasing you all morning. Are you ready? Are you ready?

Yes. Edge and Eccles are stoked to bring you six, six. Six. Yeah. Don't my folk jokes in my way. I'm never coming home again. Can't stop. One massive show next month in Hastings.

If you want to go for free, call 0800 the Edge and we'll sort you out with some free tickets or you can head to the EdGNS yet Instagram page. You can always go there when we're giving away tickets to get yourself in the mixer and go for free. Tickets are on sale right now. Beautiful part of the country, Hastings, as well. Why wouldn't you just travel there?

And I've never seen 660 live, and I would love to because I love them so much. Yeah. That's so good. I saw Machu going for a run the other day, and I was like, I wonder what he's doing. He's getting himself fit for shows. He's shredding for Hastings.

Shredding for Hastings. That's what he's doing. Yeah, I was like, that'll save Muchie from 660. Yeah, he's doing hill sprints. Oh, that means he's really shredding. Yeah, yeah. In all seriousness, that doing a live show takes a lot of energy, I'd imagine, so good on him.

Yeah. All right, let's give the very first double pass, one massive show next month in Hastings, And Saxon will be there for free. Congratulations, Saxon. Thank you. Well done. You're so welcome.

You and a mate. We'll be there, chuck it in the diary, have the best time. They know how to put on a show, that's for sure. Thank you so much. You're welcome, but thanks for playing. So cool. Okay, next, we just need three more stars, and the $45,000 spa pool is yours.

Here it is one more time. It's getting hot in here. Getting hot and here. here. What are those three stars? Here. Who are they? Who are they? Clint, Megan, Dan. We had a little dip in the spa last week, didn't we on the huge courtyard? It was divine. It was lovely. All right, here is the phrase that you need to decipher. We got five stars in the spa. Who are they?

It's getting hot in here. We already know Billy Elish is the first one. It's Billy Elish. You can hear that. It's. It's Billy Eilish. And also the fourth star, Eriol Levine. So Simple Plan opened for me on my first tour back in 2002. N.

Yeah. And I really thought that was a Kardashian Jen. So did I. The vocal fry really thought. I need to tell you something. A vocal fry is actually when someone's voice goes husky, like a, like a, you always talk about a vocal fry being not what it is. Both of you do it. And I just let it go.

But now I'm just copying. Isn't it like when they talk? It's like when they talk and there'll be like a husky cut through in the voice. It's a fry, I believe. Or maybe I'm wrong. No, I'm pretty sure I'm right. It's not just like a specific sound that you make when, you know what I mean? Well, we need three more stars.

If you can pick one of them in the correct spot, we'll give you $100 cash. But if you can get all three, the $45,000 spa pool that's out on the edge courtyard is going to be picked up and transported to your place. Alex, you think you've got one of the stars that haven't been guessed so far? I think so. I don't know, but I'm just going to take a stab. Hey, good on you. You know what? I think we're still in stabbing territory at the moment. Here it is one more time for you. It's getting hot in here.

All right, what are we doing, Alex? So, one is Billy Eilish. Yeah, correct. We know that. Two, I'm going to say Hulk Hogan. RIP. From the grave. Okay, okay.

Three, I'm just going to take a stab. John Campbell John Campbell from the news Okay From the news, yep Four, April Levine And I don't know Five AJ Kipper

AJ Kipper Okay You don't mean You don't mean KJ Upper? Oh yeah Yeah, yeah that one, sorry Not as AJ Kippa

You've been listening to the show In Meg too long AJ Kipper I was maybe KJ's brother You've just swapped two of the letters around I was, as an Australian who just learned who that person was, I was so confused. Yeah, I was like, oh, no, is he like a league player or something?

Yeah, because I can say A.J. Kippa is not in any of the spaces. Okay, what about KJ. Harper? Okay. All right, Alex, you have identified no news bars in the correct spot. I am a solid. How would I say? No, thank you. You know what I mean?

Sorry, babe. It's not a star full of stars. Oh, okay. Well, at least I know who they are. You don't even know who they are, you're idiot. Who are they? How is someone said A.J. Keper and I'm the idiot here. Okay.

No, nice guess, Alex. Really well done. And you know what? I think this is what more people need to be doing, like you? Just taking a stab in the dark, you never know what you're going to get. And also, you're eliminating them for other people. Yeah. Exactly.

Kell and Yeas as well. We'll give you three cracks at it on their show. 10, 12 and 2. So best to like. Three to go. Yeah, $45,000 a spa pool is yours. Clint Meg and Dan. It's Clint McGinn, Dan.

Sitting in the Hall of Fame. Hall of Fame. Hall of Shame. Father's Day edition. Yeah, look, I didn't do a great job of Father's Day yesterday. Oh, didn't you? Well, I forgot for the first two minutes of the day, and I asked Adrian to do the morning shift with Buddy. Oh, no, so he had to get up to your four-year-old.

And then he got up, and as he was walking at the door, he just looked back at me. He's like, I thought that today of all days I would have. I was like, oh, no, no, everybody was a day. Oh, yeah. Yes, get in, maybe. Yeah. So he had to remind you.

Yeah, I made it up to him. Yeah. Oh, that's definitely... Shame. How did you make it up to him? I made up in the way that he needed. Okay. Oh, mate, I would take a forget Father's Day.

If I... She's talking about what I think she's talking about. Anyway, moving on, moving on, moving on. You know what's Father's Day and Mother's Day, there's a lot of people out there that think it's a manufactured thing to sell presents and stuff. Is it a presents day? That's my question. Is it just a day to appreciate being a dad?

I think it is the latter, unless the expectation within the far no has already been set that we do presents on Father's Day. You know what I mean? It doesn't have to be a pizza oven or an Xbox. It can just be, you know, like something your kids have made, but you have to do something. Yeah. My wife took my kids out. They know I love like a fidget, so they've got me like a...

I wonder what that weird fear is. That's gross, that thing. It's like a stress cube. And my daughter was like, Dad's being... He loves my gift. He's been playing with it all day. I'm like, yeah, why I wonder why dad's been playing with a stress ball all day? Now, but then they got me, like, snacker-changy chips and, like, salt and vinegar, cashews.

Yum! Coconut, um, chocolate, like, coconut ruff. We have all the favorite. Yeah. Same favorite. They got me all the coconut macintosh lollies. What's that? The coconut ones are the best.

What's a Macintosh lollies? What's a Macintosh lollies, but just the coconut ones. But you know, one time a listener, this is how much they love Clint, sent him a whole lot. of just the coconut one. So they'd brought a whole load of packets and then just pulled out all the coconuts. I wouldn't have touched those.

What if they'd put poison in them? Worth it. Worth the gamble. What if it was someone from ZM trying to poison? Sometimes you got to take you down because where the point was it the best. Cowl sticks through saying he got his dad Lego. Now that's a great gift. I also got my old man.

My brother said just go get him a voucher. But instead I went and got him a sea anchor for his boat. And then I got him a swan dry as well. I don't know what either of those things are, which means your dad would have loved him. Oh, yeah. He was. It was, oh, I need him.

one of these? My other one broke. And I was like, yeah, I know, mate. How much does a sea hand can sit you back? Oh, I know, like, 60, 80 bucks. That's a good amount to spend. Yeah, and then a swan dry another, but no, 60, 80 bucks. What was that bang?

Do anyone else hear that? No, I don't know. It's a big bang in the studio. What was that? It'd be the first time there's been a bang. No, I don't know. So I think my old man was pretty stoked. In fact, I wrote in his card as well,

saying, Dad, like, thank you for being a role. model. Thank you for teaching us how to love. Thank you for always... Oh, okay. Anyway, he's my Xbox. Okay, he's... He went and glancedy eyes. Like, he was going to cry when he hugged me. So I'm going in the Fame. Hall of Fame, thank you very much.

That's very good. I'm going in... Well, I was originally in the Hall of Shame, but I quickly got myself into the fame. You didn't do anything of your dad obviously, is you? Well, actually, my dad's in hospital, so I went and visited him. Oh, good one. I did. I... What? Oh, well, if you visit him, then you're in the Hall of Fame?

you're in the fame. Yeah, exactly. Thank you very much. And he doesn't play Xbox, so I was off on my bed. And what did you get for Father's Day? A framed photo of my son. Oh, you know what he looks like. I said that to Hannah.

He went down there. I bet not. Apparently it was an expensive frame. Okay. No, it was lovely. I loved my gift. You know what? Sorry, Hachens was allergic to shit gifts.

Yeah. I tried to put my mic off. It's like a coughing silence. Yeah. Let us know, guys, come on. Hall of Fame. Where did your gift land? It's Clinton.

Sitting in the Hall of Fame. Father's Day edition. Hall of Fame or Hall of Shame? How did yesterday go for you? I love doing this segment because it really hammers home. People's relationships, I get. This person sticks through saying I got my wife a $200 bouquet of flowers from the kids for Mother's Day. Yesterday I got a Tobler Road.

The big one? Like the duty-free ones? Doesn't specify. Still, eh. I think a duty-free toadlerone would be up there for me. True, but also, like, often you find that, like, one person in the relationship is really into it and the other person isn't.

So, you know, the person's really into it gets a great present, but then why waste money to repay it when the other person in the relationship's like, uh, whatever? I reckon Father's Day we should just have a blanket rule, no gifts. So no dads feel left out. And it's just like... Oh, nah, just trying to be woke. I want a gift.

Give me a gift. No gifts and no one gets sad. Then I'm sad because I didn't get a gift, so you haven't fixed the problem. I think most moms probably just want to be left alone on Mother's Day. Let me sleep in. Bring me a coffee and just leave me alone. And then dads are like once the kids are in bed, I get my gift.

Cal from the day shows on the phone. Now, I saw there was a video of you driving over to see your dad for Father's Day yesterday, Cal. Did you get him a gift? Yes, we did actually. Usually we get him just like a bunnings or like a MIT of 10 voucher But I thought we'd change it up And get him something that he could actually like open and use

And firstly we got him like a framed photo of him And our now dead dog But also got him Some Lego Which you all know I love Lego And dad's never bought himself Lego And I was like you know what I reckon he'll love this

And did he love it? No it sounds like when Homer bought Marge a bowling ball Yeah, you got it for yourself, hoping that he'd just give it to you. Well, the good news was, was if he didn't like it, I would have ended up with Lego. But he did like it, so it was a win-win. And then you had to have a bonding experience and build the Lego together. So sweet. That's a great idea.

I know, Cali, what did you get for your dad? For my dad, I actually got him some red band gumboot. Nice. That is good. He'll have them until he dies. But for my husband, he got an all-black's jersey, a warrior's hat, some licorice, all sorts, some socks with his jog on them. Love it. Oh, wow.

And then I surprised him with a dinner and invited his kids around. Oh, that is a great gift. What is he getting for his birthday? If that's Father's Day, the expectations are high. Kelly, I'm going to send you a double pass to our must-see movie. just for your brilliant effort. Listen to this. What if you could open a doorway

and walk through it to relive a defining moment from your past? Marga Robbie, Colin Farrow, are single strangers who meet at a mutual friend's wedding and soon, through a surprising twist of fate find themselves on a big, bold, beautiful journey. Put that movie in my veins,

Saffroki. Can I just read one text because this is me to a tea? Hubby missed my first mother's date and then conveniently forgot the second one, so I brought him a Nintendo Switch, made him breakfast in bed, and cooked his favorite meal yesterday to make him feel shit.

Oh, that is good. She would have had to remind him in the card that he'd forgotten, because I think knowing most guys, they would have forgotten that they forgot. Yeah. All right. Just going to wrap us up. Hall of Fame or Hall of Shame? Where do your kids go?

My wife and kids hit the Hall of Fame Skyrocket yesterday. I got breakfast and bed. I got Xbox cards. I got Lego and then got basically relaxed and watch movies with the kids. and then got the fun that the only wife can provide in the evening. So, mate, I had a really epic fun. Oh, Daddy got his gifts. Come on, go, go.

Go, go. Got Lego Xbox. You sound like a 14-year-old yourself, Justin, to be honest. Says you. I'll put it away. I'm definitely a 14-year-old kid for the Lego, mate, but I'm an adult in the evening time. Oh, there he goes.

So, Justin, you got breakfast and bed in the morning, and then your wife got breakfast and bed in the evening. Oh, no. No, that's disgusting, Clint. No, stop laughing. Okay. He liked that. He liked it.

Produced as a bow. We're doing that bowing down thing. It's nice, it takes it to the gutter, doesn't he, old Clint? Thanks, Justin. Appreciate that, mate. All right, rejection therapy. We're not all very good at it. I think Dan's great at it.

He's... Yeah. I invented it. Inadvertently. Yeah. Thankfully, Dan on the show... Copyright Webby. Dan's like, fine, I'll do it.

Like, he's got no stranger danger fear. But we're going to chat with Herman next. You may have seen him going around your For You page on socials. He's the guy who is, on the mission to trade a paper clip for a house. And how far he's gotten in the last three weeks will shock you. Oh, yeah, that's cute. That's cute what he's doing.

I've been doing rejection therapy since I was born. Clint, Megan Dan. We have Herman joining us on the show right now, who you may have seen floating around your socials. He's talking about rejection therapy, and if you can get rid of the fear of that awkward interaction of talking to a stranger and then maybe saying knows you, your life can drastically improve.

Yeah, I need to do this. Yeah, right? No, you're married, Ash. No, no, no, I'm in general. I don't ask because I don't want to be rejected at things. I miss out on a lot of opportunities because I'm like, I'll be so awkward if they say no. And I've seen him also try and trade a paperclip for our house,

and his journey is snowballing very fast to success. He'll be rich. Yeah, he joins us on the show now. Herman, good morning. Good morning. How's it going? You know, I've been following your journey for a while. now. Your rejection therapy age

doesn't work because you've been doing it for how long? It's coming up to 250 days the Sunday. Do you remember how many times you've been rejected versus the opposite river rejected? Which obviously we all know but Dan doesn't need to tell us the word, does he? I think at the moment it's like 147 yes and 100 knows. So

surprisingly there's been a lot more yeses than no. What spurted on? Like what made you want to start doing this? One of them was that I just wanted to kind of rediscover more human connection in my day-to-day life just go out and speak to people. But then also, I thought it was a great way to just show the world that you can get anything you want in life if you just ask, like, the right person at the right time.

And I mean, you've proven that over almost the last year. The whole trading a paperclip for a house thing, that was something that I remember hearing about maybe 15 years ago. Yeah, I remember hearing a story of a guy in Canada who did it like 15 to 20 years ago. And I thought the story was just so inspiring. I was like, it would be so cool to try and do it here in New Zealand 20 years later. So you started with a paper clip? Where are you now?

Yeah, I started with a paper clip and I worked my way up now to a $20,000 solar panel voucher and I have a $2,000 diamond ring. How many steps in between the solar panel voucher and the paper clip do you think? Probably 10 or 11 because I went from like the paperclip, the chewing gum and then I had some smaller trades. It's got to like a head phone and then a car and then I got some like $10,000 building vouchers. I mean, it's taken, I think so far like three weeks to get to the. this point. You are, I guess, the definition of if you don't ask, you don't get.

Yeah, I mean, like, that's what I'm trying to push to everybody. Because I feel like if you just go out there and just speak to people, you'll find that a lot of people just want to help you as well. So if you just put yourself in that position to asking and being okay to hear the words no, a lot of the times you're going to end up hearing, yes. Do you find the first and second, maybe the first 10 times you're rejected? It makes you want to be physically ill. How many times do you have to be rejected for? You go, actually, it's not a big deal. Who cares?

They just say no, that's the worst that can happen. When I started, I remember that the first, like, two weeks were pretty rough because if I heard a no, I would start, like, overthinking it and being like, am I doing something wrong? Is it me? Just down the line, just from, I guess, like, months and months and months, I started to just realize that's not too big of a deal. Like, if I hear the words, no, life goes on.

And the person that I just asked is probably just going to forget about it in the next, like, five minutes. I reckon we should try and help you out here, Herman. We've got the power of the edge radio station. we're going national. Is there anyone listening right now that would trade the $20,000 solar panel thing

and the ring as well? Remember that? He's got a $2,000 ring. Is there anyone listening right now that would do a trade? Yeah, and Herman, what is the next item that you'd really like to get your hands on if you had a choice?

Ideally, just anything that's higher in value. But, I mean, vehicles are always great. Jet skiing. A tiny home would be amazing. An experience, like, flights or like a cruise, would be, you know, incredible. Yeah. Can I interest you in a 2001
