This is a podcast from Rover. Welcome to the podcast equivalent of a you-up text. Messy, slightly regrettable, but you'll still come back for more. This is the Clint Began Dan podcast. Warning, this show contains fake tan, real regrets and one Australian hostage situation. It's the it's breakfast. Clitbing and Dan with Ash London. Morning, it is bang on.

Six o'clock Wednesday. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Good morning. Oh, God, if only we could broaden. What happens between the songs? We get fired in one minute. All I'll say is Ash is filthy. What a naughty, naughty person.

Actually, we're practicing. I'll flip it and reverse it. Movie quotes that you will get to hear before 7 o'clock this morning, but some of them in reverse seem quite offensive. It's too early. For the stuff you've been saying, Ash, it's too early in the morning. I'll save it as an audiophile and we'll put it in your only fans podcast that people can hear while we can.

flipping and reversing. Oh, yes. Oh, boy. What's 24 hours it's been. Yeah. Oh, man. What's going on? We'll try and cover it all off.

Also, Jimmy Kimmel, has he done his monologue? What's the time difference? Has he done his first show back? Not yet. So I think it is, it's Tuesday morning in L.A. where he tapes his show. So I believe it'll be later on this afternoon or this evening. So I think we won't get it until tomorrow morning our time.

Yeah. Yeah. Still, yeah, still 10 hours away. Yeah. So I think maybe edge afternoons if the later in their show might be able to report on his opening monologue. I can't wait, because I have no idea if he's going to be all, like, censored or not.

Yeah. I reckon you'd go out there and you would just, like, go ham and be like, fire me, I don't care. He wouldn't come back if he wasn't allowed to speak his mind. Yeah. And Jimmy Fallon did a real funny take on that where he was like,

people can't, they can't be censoring stuff that we're saying. Because Donald Trump is, and then his mouth keeps moving but they've dubbed over it with someone else's voice. The greatest president in the history of the world. It's so clear. And then it comes back to Jimmy and then he keeps talking and they just keep interject. You've got to think that there's 200 people whose jobs are at risk.

You know what I mean? So, like, yeah, we can say, but he has his integrity. But he also has to think of 200 people who are going to lose their jobs if he pisses them off. You have to have a meeting with the staff, wouldn't you? And be like, guys, are we okay to keep pushing what we're doing? And they'll be like, yep. And I think the kind of people that work on a late night show will probably. They pay well.

to them. Yeah, there. Seven o'clock, grand in the hand with easy money, it's back. I'm making it easy. Okay. I feel like giving away some money. We'll do it in an hour, so if you get a chance to stick around until the end, we'll see if we can get some cash.

Go on. Swish your head around, let's see how that fades going. Is it? Oh, yeah, and that's looking good. It is growing back. It's starting to grow back on? Thank God. Yeah, no, looks good.

Thank God. How does Jamie, I mean, did your Jamie do the color? How does the hairdresser do it so the blonde doesn't go all the way to the root? Like, it still looks like it's black at the bottom, but blonde on the, on the... Well, that's just because it's grown out. Oh. It was originally all the way through. Your hair grows so quick.

Yeah. Well, thank you, I think. You stop flirting with Clint. It's making me uncomfortable. That's not a compliment to say your hair grows quickly. No, it is. Thank you so much. Clint, Meg and Dan.

Oh, oh my gosh. Then we always jump into your 6am throwback nice and early. Yeah, what you got for us, baby? Look a little Teo Cruz. Oh, no. We had him a couple weeks ago. Oh, did we? Did we?

Teo Cruz. What's the song called? Dynamite. Dynamite. Nice. I hit the floor because that's my plane. Us versus the playlist, what have we got them? I haven't thought of anything.

Well. I've got nothing better to offer, but I don't like that. Okay. On this day back in 2012, Clint, Little Lion Man by the Mumford and Sons was released. Now, I don't know if we've played Little Lion Man in many years on the edge, but that was a huge song. Me too.

I love that. I loved Mumford and Sons. I can also take Mumford and Sons and raise you this. Scissor Sisters. That is a hell of a throwback. Don't feel like dancing. I don't have a reason why, but I'd always go to a little MKTO. They don't get enough play on the edge.

Or American Dreams. Oh, I love the song that you. Just to know because Jack left I am 30 years ago. I like the first one. Classic? The first MKTio. I love them bad girls. Doing bad things.

Looking hot with the bad too. That is the whitest song I've ever heard in my... I like them mad girls. No, darling. Well, one of them in MKTO is actually black, so... Malcolm his name is. Yeah, I don't know if that's... I don't know how I remember his name.

How can I not remember basic things I need to do every day, but I can remember the black guy from MKTO's name. I reckon you had the hots for him or something. Nope, didn't. interviewed him once. Yeah, but didn't have the hots for him. Also, Young Dumb and Broke from Carlead was number one today in Ateiroa, eight years ago. I don't get to throw, but it's not throwback enough.

You're right. It's not far. That's as far as I could throw, probably back to Jeter. In 2011, Katie Perry's Raw was number one today. I think so far it's classic from KTO for me. What do you think, Dan? I like that. It was either Mumford and Sons or Classic. I do love Mumford and Sons, but I feel like Jack Honeybone is not going to be happy with Mumford and Sons. Really? Yeah.

Oh, what a hater. He's the guy that gets angry you when you change his music. He never actually gets angry because he's a nicest man alive. Shout out to you, J.H. All right, well, shout out to Malcolm and the white guy in MKTO.

The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. She just found out a little fun fact about the band and why they called that, thanks to Ash. Malcolm Kelly and Tony Ola, I don't know how I remembered their names, but then you went in their wiki and they met on Nickelodeon.

They were like child stars. Is their initials? Oh, MKTO? Yeah. I get it. It'd be like ALDWCR. Yeah, it's not as good as a dozen as... A-L-C-R works.

Yeah. Sorry, Dan. It's the D-W that really messes it up. Yeah, it's the D. The D's always ruining it. Now, happy birthday shout out to Jay, Clint's wife. Oh, is it today? 21 today.

Oh, my God, child bride. It's the last year of her 30s. She's the same age as me. 39, yeah. Now, Clint, have you messaged her. Have you messaged your wife yet? I told you I was going to do it this morning, so I've already messaged you. Okay, and then, so he's heard me say that.

What a dick move. I know, a bit of a dick move, eh. What did you say to her? I just said, happy birthday, Jamie. Hope you have a fantastic day and Clint spoils you rot. That is the lamest. Wait, you're going to love what Clint's got you this year. He's gone all out.

I'm going to send one now. I'm going to say, oh my God. I just saw Clint's gift. You love this. See, I'm going to do it. No, you know that she's said. no gifts. She's lying, she's lying, she's just saying that it's a test.

It's a big old test. That is a test. And you're going to fail the test. We need to do gift traps at seven. Because everyone's telling me it's a trap. And I'm like, no. You know it's a trap, surely. Like, that's all girls do that.

Oh, don't worry, don't get me anything. I will find the audio to play you at seven of the Christmas that she said, all I want is a wireless stick vacuum clean. Test, it's a test. No, and I got her one. Yeah, but you also had to get her a secondary present as well. I got her a stick vacuum cleaner and she frothed it and everyone gave me like assholes about her on social media

and I'm like, it's literally what she wanted. My brother got my, well now a sister and all they weren't married at the time, got her massive diamond earrings. And my wife even said to me, I would have preferred the vacuum cleaner because it's something I can use which probably shows our age. She can't hang a vacuum cleaner from her ear. And she?

And it really stretched the lobe. So I just, I know my wife. So when she says no gift, she means it. Well, that's up to you. But that's a risk you're willing to take? Isn't it romantic? Even though she says no gifts, you get her something amazing. I know.

Well, I always like buying someone a gift. But the problem is, is I would like some direction. So I'm not just buying something she doesn't need. But she's not going to give me direction because she says she doesn't want anything. That's a bit in direction. Sorry. I was just going to say, don't get her a vacuum cleaner. That's a start.

But then she'd be pissed off because she's like, I told you what I wanted and you ignored me. You can't win. You have to give her what she asked for and then get a little treaty, treaty. When growing up it was easy for Dad, mum used to always like cut things she wanted out of magazines and then she would stick it to the fridge

like months out. That's so good. Now I just text Adrian and say, can I buy this as my ex-X present? And he goes, yeah, and then I just buy it for myself. Yeah, without any sort of repercussions and being like, oh, why'd you spend so much money on that? He just releases the money.

funds, not that I don't have access to the funds, but like, just, you know, I know that he's cool and then he shows up at the bank and puts his signature on for two to sign and then you get the money. Like it's the 1980s. Before we travelled overseas, once my credit card got scams, so all my cards got cancelled, so we had the same accounts for different cards. So anytime I wanted to buy anything, I had to be like, please, Daddy, and then he'd come over and like buy it for me.

So all the Japanese people thought I was some kept woman, which I kind of was like some weird. How did you say, Daddy, were you like, please, Dad? Daddy, like that. Like, come play for my coffee. I have a vacuum cleaner, Daddy. That's what, Jamie, that's how she does it. Right. Okay.

I'll fire her a text then. Well, I got it first, so. Clint, Megan, Dan. Lesh goal. First call of the day. First call of the day. Oh, yes. Corey from Nelson joins us.

Morning, Corey. Morning, guys. How you doing? Good, bro. Better now we're talking to you. Hey, you're busy. I mean, I'm just reading up on some of the stuff you've been talking to our producer Carl about. An 8-year-old, a 9-year-old, and you've got a 9-month-old.

So you started again. We're back to the start after almost 10 years. Sure do. Now, what's it, be honest, was the 9-month-old a bit of a mistake. Hey, not mistake. It surprises the word you use. Surprise. Oh, my God.

Well, she's a beautiful little girl. Yeah, obviously. Lovely. And the other two, while my two steps, sons are two boys. So a bit of a change. There you go. Two step sons. Now they get a little daughter.

My brother, Corey, is nine years older than me. And it is the best thing that's ever happened to me. Like having an older brother like that was like having another dad but cool dad. Like things that I couldn't talk to my parents about. I'd call my brother. He's my best friend in the universe. I wouldn't have it any other way. And we never fought because he was so much older than me.

So good choice, Corey. No, most definitely. where it's a happy feeling, you know? Yeah, what was it like, though, like all of a sudden having a newborn again in that first kind of couple weeks where you remember, oh, I'm not going to get any sleep? Well, she actually slipped the whole way through

for about five and a half months. Oh, my gosh. And then she started teething, and now she's got two little teeth at the bottom. Oh, little toothy pegs. There's nothing cuter than a baby with, like, just a couple of teeth. Yeah. Oh, God, you hope that they come through quickly all at once, though,

because teething sucks. Yeah, I'll kind of give it up and put my finger in the mouth, put Bon Jolla on, because, you know, it's just chomp down on the seat down. It's a dangerous move. What's her name, Corey? Casey. Casey, lovely name. Gorge, love it, Corey.

And you're a veggie. You work as a driver for a veggie company. Does that mean you get free veggies? I sure do. Oh, my dream. I spend all my money on vegetables. Are they expensive as well vegetables now? Oh, like you go to the supermarket, you can spend a lot of money on vegetables.

I go to the farmer's market now, but sometimes I can't get out of bed on the Sunday morning. Oh, no, I caught more worse, and I regret it. I felt like a Brussels sprout the other day, Corey, and I said, Hannah, hit to the supermarket. I'm craving something. It's Brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts. Yeah, really shit. It's many people say Brussels.

And they're $10 a kilo at the moment. It must be out of season, but that is expensive for a Brussels sprout. Yeah, grapes have come down. Grapes worth $13 for the pun. nine, still a lot, though. That is, yeah. Yeah, I prefer to drink them and wine. Just crush them all up.

You're still getting your fruits. Do you do them yourself? Crush them yourself? No, nah. He's got people for that. It's not with the admin. He's got people. Hey, Corey, well, hopefully while you're cruising around, man,

you can swing past a Zed and we'll see you out of the voucher so you can get free coffee for the rest of the week. Oh, mate, you're a legend. Do you do that? Wow, don't Corey. More coffee, less milk, you can try the short and punchy magic at Zed. Oh, you're going to announce to not you to for a holiday. I am.

I am. You can stay with Corey. and I wouldn't impose Corey, but thanks for offering his house. Love Nelson. I think the last time we were there, my wife went, I could live here.

Did she take for that much of the pause before she said it? Yeah. Wow. She sort of looked around the beaches while we're eating our KFC on the sand. She went, I could live here.

Yeah, exactly like that. That's exactly. Every time we go to a new city, we're on real estate. Dot co-dot and Z. Can we afford here? I'm just the house here. I could live here.

Then we argued after that about where the centre of New Zealand actually is because you can climb this mountain in Nelson. It says you're exactly in the centre. And I said to Jay, well, roughly in the centre. And she went, Could be. No, she was like, this is the centre, says the centre. I was like, what do you think the chances are that this mountain perfectly landed in the exact centre?

I was like, the centre's probably in the sky slightly off to the right, but there's no mountain there. And then Jamie walked off and 20 minutes later, Clint was still. going on and on and on about it. I'm like, babe, it's close-ish to where the centre would be. That's enough. And then she went, Good time, leaving you.

All right, we'll get a scandal update after Kid Lions in three as Ash Rolls her eyes. Like, does anyone, can we just get rid of scandal? Like, really? Yeah, you can fill it with, actually you can fill it with whatever you want next. I'm going to do that then.

Okay. All right. I have been looking all morning. We've got hands up in the producer booth. suggestions. Oh no, we're just still got a client obligation. So as long as you put that on the end, we're good. Yeah, and I literally I sent you a scandal this morning. Yeah, and I'm

going to use it in the second scandal. Okay, brilliant. She said she hated that scandal. No, I didn't. He said anything about Jonas Brothers and it's really cute. Can you cut a couple of those for me, but thanks. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Called Megan Dan with Ash, London. She asked us during that song, do one are you too far?

And we're like, no. And she just realized it's her lunch. She's having lentils. It's not like parts for lunch. She's like, oh, it's my lunch. Yuck. Gossip entertainment. Glit me and Dan with Ash London. Scandal. Someone's going to be ordering Uber

Eats for lunch today. No, it's delicious, very healthy. It's like celery, pyrt, carrot, fennel, lentils. Well, it smells like bleh. That's Lebanese foods, or you're being racist. Oh, scandal is all thanks to Body Fix. Halloween's almost here. Body Fix is being New Zealand's go-to since

2003. For Facebook, fake blood and glitter. My wife and I are there go there every year. So I'm so excited. So I promise you a couple of mediocre headlines for scandals. So the devil wears Prada 2 filming continues in New York City.

Yeah, I've seen a lot on TikTok of people filming them filming. It's like the inception of movie making. So fun, because now we get to watch the real movie and be like, oh, I saw it being made. A bit of audio is leaked of Anne Hathaway having a crack at paparazzi because they were kids on set. The paparazzi were harassing

them and she walks over all You're talking Stop talking Everybody know that there are children on set That's got to relax We're going to have a very nice day because we have children Everybody's going to relax Because we've got children on set

And they're like, yes ma'am Yes ma'am She's a bit smug about it She's been a hero I don't get told off by Anne Hathaway I reckon she could get quite angry Getting told off as an adult is just like scary Right

When the last time you got told off for something The other day when I was driving And I told the guy I shoved it back in his face Yeah, that's right. Told you to slow down. You're driving around the suburban streets. He doesn't have the authority to tell me to slow down.

He doesn't even speeding. No. And I think we have talked about this on scandal before, but there was a Dawson's Creek cast reunion raising money for cancer, James Vanderbik, a.k. Dawson is battling stage three colorectal cancer. He wasn't able to be there. Lin-Manuel Miranda from Hamilton was his fill-in.

So the whole cast got together and did a read-through of the pilot script of Dawson's Creek raising money so amazing and at the very end they had um the whole cast like Joshua jackson and katie homes are there arms around each other um a sing along of the paula cole uh open i what do you call it the title song like the i don't want in a way and then um james van derbyx family walk out his wife holding all the kids and they're singing take a listen And we're like holding for our lives to be over right now

live in the world. And we're like holding each other. It's so beautiful. And the whole crowd standing ovation. So it's just look well. You show me a photo of him before. Yeah, he looks really unwell. It's very upsetting.

Cancer can get in the bin. Yeah. Interesting choice, Lynn Manuel Miranda. Of all the people in the world to replace Dawson. I think they had to just choose someone really amazing because people would have been so disappointed. Although you can't be disappointed when he's battling cancer. But I think they wanted to really make a splash.

And obviously, Linman were one of the nicest guys in the world. Wow, the fart smell of that lentil is really... I wouldn't be eating that. I reckon that's gone off. No, it has. It's just cooked last night. Flip it and reverse it is next. We are going to try and perform.

Every time we tease something that's coming next, and she goes, ugh. No, I just can't find a good one. I've tried like 20 different ones, and I can't find. I just think she's here to hang out. Where does it at 10 a.m already? I'm counting down to November 17. Give me the hot tip.

Meg, come back. She's over it. Clint Megan Dan. Stinky Bid. She was doing it before TikTok, Missy Alliot. Bit of a trend going around. People just trying to reverse phrases, songs, different things. So once a week,

we'll give a crack at a famous movie quote. It should be so well performed that when we reverse it you go, oh, I know what movie that's from and I know exactly what you're trying to say. You usually see it on TikTok and it's people singing. You know, they're doing songs, but we're doing movie quotes, aren't we? We did try the singing it.

It was so fun, but a lot harder. That is hard, yeah, because you have to get the tune right and all that, yeah. It gets us every time those animal signs get us. The elephant's going to come soon. I think the elephant's being replaced by a horse. I think Nipia's just mucking around in the back area. He's got too much time or something. He's a shit head.

Yeah, they're right. All right. I went under the edge if you want to see if you can decipher what we're actually saying when we reverse it. Who wants to go first? I'll go first. Okay. Really? Ready?

Okay, good luck. Okay, you got to do it live and then Nipia will flip it and reverse it as quickly as you can. Y no met him wash. Happy with that? So that last, I always go the last word that she says is the first word of the actual quote. Wosh. And then you reverse it and you don't. because we're going to get someone on to guess it.

Nibu's giving me the thumbs up, he's good to go. Guessing this morning is Alex from Christchurch. Morning, Alex. Good morning, how are you? Good. Now, you heard Ash and her reverse. What do you think the quote is? No, I've got to reverse it.

Oh. I don't think she's going to get it from that. I think she could have a guess. How about Alex, you get two goes at it. If you want to be a mate, a real hero, see. I'll do it again backwards, but then we'll give you another crack at it reversed.

All right, Al? Okay, sounds good I'm going to do it again live Yenom F-M-Wash I know what it is Yeah Um

Oh It sounded like wash Wash or what's washed backwards Oh Oh no I can't do that on the radio Okay We're going to flip it We're going to flip it and reverse it for you

And if Ash has actually learned it well enough It should be obvious Show me the money. Oh, okay, what is... Oh, show me the money! Show me the money! Good job, Alex. One from one.

Okay, Dan, do you want to give us a little teaser as to what yours is and then we'll go to a break? Okay. Ta or ame, I mean, aim. It does sound German. Yeah, I think I know what that is. Alex, you're in the middle of a gym session, so why don't you go do a number?

another rep, do another set of 12 or whatever, and then we'll come back and you give Dan's a crack. Sounds good to me, thank you. Okay, I love you. Drop down and give me 20. Because you don't want to get cold for too long, you know? Let's go hold there, Alex. All right, Ash performed her movie quote backwards, and when we reversed it, it sounded like this. Show me, them ony.

Show me to my wife. Yeah, Alex called it. Really well done, Ash. Okay, Dan, so it's your turn. He's going to perform it live now in reverse. One more time. Okay. Ta-o-a-a-me-a-me-you need to put a r in there.

Huh? It should be tar-r. Tar-Rob, I mean, I'm. Too late. Maybe it was already working on it. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. You're pronouncing it with a Kiwi accent.

Okay. Okay. Alex, I'm going to reverse it for you. You have to tell me, because it should be obvious if Dan's nailed it, what this movie quote is. Hey, my name. Oh, Jesus. Good luck Alex.

Oh my God. It's worse than I've done. Come on, Dad. Oh, clear on sports. Yeah, yep, fear. Come on, that's really clear. Wresh. Oh.

Wresh? No, I can't be rash. Oh, I'm pretty stuck on that one. He said the last thing he said was Tor Rab. Okay, let's listen one more time. Poor Rudd. Tor Rudd. I'm going to.

I'm going to. Put them side by side. This is Dan. Amia N'am. And he's trying to say, My name Abolat. Come on, come on. My name Abon.

That was the closest. but that was so hard still like you got through nine i had a question mark on nice coffee but i mean nuggets probably don't wish we're thinking yeah oh yeah nuggets oh yeah oh but mate that was that was one of the best efforts i've ever heard incredible really consistent answering quite a good speed i think oh you just the very very first question you paused a little bit too long that was the only thing he even got something people who are afraid of yeah really really good solid work leiam he's a project officer at selwyn council

That's why. He's smart. He's organized and stuff. He knows some things. You need to play the game on the Rover app because I reckon you'd smash it. We want to see him easy money live. Give it a guy. Get it like next time.

Cheers, my bro. Back again at 8 o'clock, a grand in the hand. Clint, Megan, Dan. It's my wife's birthday today. She's 39. Happy birthday, Jane. Yeah, I don't know if she would have heard that. I think she's having a bit of a sleeping.

She doesn't look her. Oh, she'd like that. She looks very young. I told Dan I was going to flick her a text this morning. So the dog jumped in and texted her before me. and so did all the producers and myself I believe and then he said I'll wait until you see the gift Clint's got

because he knows that my wife said to me I don't want anything I don't need anything for my birthday don't go spending lots of money I just want quality time but Clint you've been married for many years like many many years and you should know that that's a trap every time and I would agree with you Dan I think in 99

out of 100 cases that is a trap don't give anything and they don't actually mean it but one time my wife when Chris when my brother got his girlfriend massive diamond earrings like bigger than you'd see on some engagement rings my wife ended up getting a vacuum cleaner

chauvinist and that is because she said I want a stick vacuum cleaner for Christmas The old Dyson That cost as much as diamond rings It wasn't a Dyson It was like a joke

Oh my God it wasn't even a Dyson No Holy moly And so that's what my wife said she wanted 71 was like, you are playing with fire if you get your wife a vacuum cleaner for Christmas. I'm going to play you the audio of her opening this present all of about four or five maybe years back.

You tell me if it was a gift trap or not. No idea what this is. I felt it before and I was like, it's something with a handle, but I still don't know what it is. I'm hoping. I just want a nice was one of those little vacuum cleaner things. It is a vacuum cleaner.

Yay! That's why I love her. That's why I love it. That's why I love it is. Our house is going to be tidy urn day. Thank you, my darling. So she said what you wanted and she got what she wanted, but can I give you some insight?

She said it's going to change my life. Yeah, because it's making the chores easier. Can I give you an insight here as a woman? Yeah. When a woman says, I don't want anything, I don't need anything, she really does mean it because she wants to be the woman that is, happy with getting nothing.

She is projecting that on herself, but she's lying to herself. Yes. So she may think she wants nothing, but she expects you to know her better than she knows herself. And even if it's subconscious, she is expecting you to get her something. So she'll go, oh my gosh, you're right. I really did want this. You know me so well.

You're the best husband. But even if she 100% does mean it and she doesn't want anything, genuinely, what's wrong worth getting or something? Yeah, well, I would like to, but I just don't want to go and unnecessarily buy something. She'd go, babe, I told you not to spend money. I don't need that. Why don't you get out some flowers? You have to at least come home with flowers.

Do flowers in a card. That's like a... Yeah, that's fine. My husband didn't even do that on my birthday. But I think flowers are not for a birthday. Flowers are for condolences. Maybe you've stuffed up in you in the dog box flowers. No, I disagree.

Like, the amount of times I've done something bad and I've gone flowers and it's fixed it. Bada bing, bed a boog. Really? On my birthday, this year, my husband came home with flowers and I nearly cried of happiness because I was so touched. and then he told me they weren't from him. And I was devastated. So it's not the flowers, it's that thought that counts.

I love you bad. But I started doing like a flower subscription. Like every two weeks on a Friday, they would just shop at our house for her with a different card. And she was like, oh, she was like, babe, there's such a waste of money. I was like, oh, okay, well, you're welcome. The card was like, just a reminder of how much you're appreciated in this home. She's like, I would have preferred a steam mop.

She's got one of those. She's got that for her third. When did you stand in a gift trap? And now you're just like, nah, never again, never again. You did what you thought you were being asked to do? They said they didn't want anything, or they said they wanted A, you got them A, turns out they want a B. Or maybe you're on the other side. Maybe you were the wife or husband who said I didn't want anything and then they got nothing and then you cried.

Yeah, okay, because we're talking gift traps. If you've ever put your foot in one and you're like, oh, you need to learn from me, Clinton. How much trouble did you get in? Yeah. 3343-0-800-the-edge Love this tune So does the entire world Is this Olivia Dean man I need?

Thank God Number one in the charts Here it is Oh, is this like a sign The song after what we talked about Be the man she needs, Quinn Quite fitting probably Talking about Be the Man that I need

My wife's birthday today She said I want nothing Get me nothing And I actually am not like Oh yes, relief I'm off the hook I don't need to do anything because I actually would like to buy her something.

What I don't want to do is aimlessly just walk around the shops with no real direction or sense of what it is that she might want. She doesn't want you to spend a lot of money, so I would just find something that's like not a stack of just something little and thoughtful and loving. And that could be flowers. It could just be like you come home with her favourite drink. Just something thoughtful.

The thing is, though, people say that it's the thought that counts. I'm like, unless the thought is a crappy, like a bunch of flowers, in which case I'm kind of like, I just don't buy anything. But if, like, I love peonies. So if my husband came home with peonies, I'd be like, I'd feel, I'd feel, that's not peonies. If I'm joking, my wife, that for her birthday, she's going to be like, no, that's what you want. Okay, I did that last night, Clint, I got your peonies last night. I tried, I tried, I tried.

What is peonies? I tried. What is peonies? It's a type of flower. Peanies. They're a flower. Get your mind out of the gut, Clint. Pionis, peonies. Yeah.

I don't know you're spelling it. Nathan, what a lull by her new suitcase, so she can have a spare for the next trip. She leaves her suitcase unpacked in the room. Yes, Nathan. That's actually not a bad idea. See, Nathan knows Jamie better than you do. It has been, I don't know, how long ago it was Father's Day?

Three, four weeks? That is how long it has still been since she has unpacked her suitcase. I finally unpacked mine from that weekend, too. H.M. was very happy. My wife hasn't done it. Little does, you know, I've just put it in a storeroom. I will say, don't do this,

My wife and I quite often will say, let's get something for Christmas for the both of us and we'll just buy it before. Like, we got a barbecue one year. And then we're like, let's not buy gifts at Christmas. If you make that agreement, both parties have to stick to it. Exactly, Ash, because then my wife got me a gift and I felt like the asshole. Gift trap.

That's on her. That's a betcha. Nick, who is a female, Nikki, she turned around and said, Ash is wrong because when you said, your wife, when she says she doesn't want anything, she wants you to know her better than she knows herself. And I was like, oh my God, you're right. Nick says when I say I don't want something, I don't want crap just because you need to get something and feel good about yourself.

It's a waste of money. You don't want it to be crap and a race in my money. That's why I say just think of something little and thoughtful that shows like I'm thinking of you, I love you. Okay. Samantha, so this is something your dad did. Yes. Okay. I fell in a gift trip.

Very much. For the year wedding anniversary, my dad got my mom something for his park. I can't remember what, but his car was broken. But the worst part about it was my mom doesn't have her license or she can't even drive. That's just a crap gift, isn't it? So he got her something to fix her car that she can't drive because she doesn't never last. His car? Oh, his car.

Yeah. Are they still together? Yeah, for his car. What's that, sorry? Are they still together? Oh, yeah, happily married. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, we'll see, you know.

Maybe that proves that the presents aren't what's going to, you know. What do you get the woman that's got everything? Something for your cart. I don't know. I think I'm with Ash. I might get her a pianist or whatever it is. Peonies. A pair of flower, smart ass.

She's like, oh, that's a big peony. Up top. From the tip of Kate Brier, down to the dirty deep south of bluff. No town is safe. This is your postcode playlist. Damn right it is. Christchut you got yours a couple of weeks ago. Tooronga.

We have our sights on. you tomorrow you will have your song. Isn't it tauranga? Can you guys I'm stressing me out? Tohraga. Tohanga. Yeah, I think it's been like absolutely like just what did you say? It's wronga. That's wrong.

To ronga. You might be giving away some of the lyrics there. There is a lyric in there. Well, I haven't quite finished it yet but we are putting together. From your suggestions we got a few yesterday and we'd promised Michelle our listener

it was fighting cancer at the moment and we took her out for lunch a few weeks ago we promised because she's from Toa Tonga to do a postcode We offered her a bit of a staycation here in Auckland Her husband and her came up and we caught up there for lunch This was her story when we first spoke to her I finally feel like I get to be made because I turned 40 And then I got cancer

So then I was just like I finally like I don't care about what other people are thinking I'm just happy to do me Because yeah life is a bit short and I've got to enjoy it while I can. Very inspirational her story and how she's handling the whole thing. So we're going to give her a call,

let her know that the good news. We're going to be doing a song for her hometown and if she's got any suggestions to add to the song before tomorrow. She knows Toonga more than most. Hello, Michelle. Oh. Oh, Michelle. Oh, we miss you, babe.

Our friend, Michelle. Hey. How's it going. You're probably like, oh, these people again. God, will they leave you low? Oh, way. No, you guys are all good. It's okay, babes.

How are you feeling, my darling? Yeah, kind of not too good, to be honest. They've kind of gone down the most definitely. Yeah, poor thing. Being up in Auckland, yeah. Like yesterday I spent four hours awake, I think it was, and the rest of the sleep. We've been thinking of you constantly

since we got to hang out. Everyone's loved like just listening to it all. So good. Like I've had little snippets and stuff and they just keep asking about you guys and you really like that in real life and yeah, it's been real fun. And you're like, no, Dan's a bit of a dickhead in real life

so you're telling you on that? I should have got you to sign an NDA or something. Yeah, true, true. Started on that one. Yeah. Well, we got some good news. Yeah. Is that what Carl messes?

Yeah. Yeah, we're doing a postcode Thursday. But I promise that we need your input. If there's one thing you think he needs to include in the ode to Tohanga, what do you think it is? Well, for me, oh shit, sorry, my dog's just stolen a toast. Does that happen all the time in Tohanga? Or just in your eyes?

Dogs steal toast. Play that down. Yeah, no. Like, you can't go without mutton. commenting on, like, you know, the Mount Copenhagen, you know, I remember my best night getting arrested dangling off the trees outside Lone Star. What was your best friend's name? Brad Timberlake, he's a must-do-pass here.

Wait, Brad Timberlake? Brad Timberlake, yeah. Oh, my goodness me, Justin's brother. Yeah. I think you should definitely mention that in the business. Justin Timberlake's brother lives in total. Yeah, you can't hide from the cops in the trees outside Lone Star. That's amazing, darling.

Thank you for your help. We will, just in case you're napping when it airs, we'll email you a copy of the song so you can listen to it at a time that suits. Yeah. Well, you rest up. We love you, sister. Yeah, cheers. Yeah, we're always thinking of you.

Go on. Yeah, cheers. See you guys. Bye, darling. Bye, dumb. Okay, put those lyrics in. You've got to do a good job for our girl, Michelle. I know, I feel a lot of pressure.

You should. Yeah. That's also just for the people of Todonger. I know. They deserve a song. Yeah. Well, we look forward to debuting it tomorrow on the show. Clit Meg and Dan.

Changes to your annual leave and sick leave. There are pros and cons. We'll play this first and then discuss it. Take a listen. From day one, all workers will be entitled to accrue annual leave and sick leave and also be able to have access to bereavement leave and family violence leave. Currently, employees are only entitled to annual leave after working for 12 full months. Employees are only entitled to sick leave after working for six full months

and after six months for bereavement leave and family violence leave. This makes it really clear from the first day of work, you get paid or you earn leave for the hours you actually work. That makes a lot of sense. That's true. If you're a part-time worker, you're working less hours. Yeah, because I think intrinsically, if you're a part-time worker, you shouldn't get as much leave as someone that's working full-time

because you're not working. You should still be able to accrue it from day one. You should be able to still get it, yeah. Yeah, rather than being there six months or 12 months. Here's the kicker. The other changes are also that you can get paid out 25% of your remaining balance. So if you've got, say, four weeks or six weeks leave because you just never go on holiday, you can get cashed out 25% if you just want to pay out.

We get, I think, I think, in Australia. You get a maximum of weeks payout currently under the original system, one week's payout a year. Oh, that's risky. My mate in Australia recently quit after years and years and years. He had so much annual leave accrued that he just like took all his annual leave and the day he got, like six months and the day he got back. He's like, I quit. Oh, wow.

That would be nice knowing that that's there. Yeah. Taking the 25 is risky because I would take that and be like, I want to buy something nice. And at the end of the year, I'm like, I should have got no leave because I took that money. Exactly. Oh, so it means, oh, I think even like after you leave, like if you leave employment. No, you can take it any time. Oh, any time, and you just get paid.

Yeah. 25% of your remaining balance. You can't buy time. You can buy some nice shoes. Maybe if you hate your family and you don't want to take time off and hang out with them. You go, oh, I take the cash instead. So then you go, okay, cool. You can take 25% of your remaining leave if you want.

You start accruing sick leave and annual leave from the day you start working with your parts. I'm a full-time. Great, great, great. Here's the part that I think flies under the radar that we don't realize is instead of accruing days, you accrue hours. So you know how we normally have. four weeks minimum in New Zealand. Now you get 160 hours of leave. What's the difference though?

Well, if you've got a boss, I think that's quite petty, because then you go, you leave work at 3 o'clock, but you're supposed to knock off at 5, and all of a sudden you see your boss has deducted two hours of annual leave from your head. Oh my gosh, what a dick move. They're not going to take a whole day off you if you leave early, but now if you've got a boss,

they can start taking leave off you in terms of hours because you encrue it. Like us. We work technically a full-time job, us three. But really, we probably only do five hours of actual work a day. Yeah, speak to yourself. I do three jobs at this building. Oh, okay, well, Ash is different.

Okay. But Clinton and I, we'll go home. And we do work at home a little bit, but technically they don't see us working. So could they be peasy and just be like, no? Imagine even at the end of the year you just get like an email that's like there's been a GPS tracking you. What time you swipe in and swipe out at work? Yeah. I have to start deducting it.

You wonder if they do put that information in when we swipe in and swipe out. I'll lose my pass every day, so someone else is swiping. No one knows when Ash is here or not. All right, well, I'm going to start crawling under those gates. So they think I'm just constantly here. Hopefully you don't have one of those bosses. Because if that's the case, then if you do nine hours, then you'll be like, all right, well, I want to accrue leave for the nine hours and not the eight as well.

So it can start getting a little tip for taty, I feel. Clint, Meg and Dan. Okay, so we're talking this morning about the little things in life that we love. I found an article where one of my favorite authors, Julia Bair, just listed like a hundred little things that it filled me with so much like joy and magic that I wanted to share it with you boys. And I wanted us to do our own.

And if you're listening, we would love you to join in on this. You can give us a call at 800 of The Edge or shoot us a text with 3343. So we've all prepared just a handful, just little life moments that we love. And look, I'm going to set a timer to see how long it takes someone. to cry.

Oh, God, this is going to... I cried writing them down. I haven't even read them out yet. Who wants to think... We'll do a couple of times. We'll go around, so who would like to start? I reckon you start because you... This is you found it, so I think...

I love Buddy's morning breath. Oh. Hey, that's beautiful. Like, he's it all like... And his face when he's asleep, like the piece, like you go and visit him in the dark and just that peaceful little cherub face. I love jumping.

in the cold ocean, like the first couple of seconds when you jump in the ocean and it's so cold that it takes your breath away. But it's magic. Beautiful. I love lying in bed texting the girls and having to stifle my laughs because it's so dirty and so funny and I don't want to wake Adrian up so I have to like bury my face in the pillow and laugh because my friends are so funny. And the first bite of a burger, specifically a burger, when you're absolutely famished. like when you're so hungry and then you eat something and it's like oh god that feels good

oh burger there's nothing better nothing better when you're hungry I love taking my seat at a concert as the first song kicks off especially if you've waited over a year for them to finally come to the country oh when the lights go down you're like oh my God

you're about to come out Celine Diels coming on and even better if one of the boys hands you would drink because I've just gone and bought four of them and you don't have to go and wait I love walking into a bar and all the boys turning and cheering

because they didn't think you were going to be able to make it and your point is already on the table waiting for you because they know you so well. Okay, so far both of yours are to do with alcohol. I love an arrival cocktail at a resort. Alcoholic. I love running out of the sheds and onto the field on a Saturday during a home game

and having supporters out on the balcony cheering you on. Yeah. And that they care enough to come to your football game. So beautiful. And then having a beer with all guys. I love it when my little boy George is sad. Oh, darling. And he calls for dad.

I remember the first time he did it. And honestly, I was like, oh my God, I'm clock in life. Yeah. I love a warm hug from mum. Oh, he's done. There's no safer place. I love going on an amazing holiday. but then being ready to come home

and saying that, you know what, I'm ready to come home. I love stopping the fuel pump at the exact dollar amount. The sound of heavy rain on the roof. Yeah, so comforting. Waking up and realizing it's the weekend when you thought you had to go to work that day. Oh, I had that as well. When you wake up and you think you're going to go to work

and you realize it's Saturday. And then our job, that means you got four more hours sleep. I love that. That's so good. And I think honestly, this is the best feeling, in my opinion. Yeah. It's a really, really cold night. Yeah.

And you get into bed and the electric blankets on. Oh, yeah. I love when I'm working into the evening, and my wife randomly hands me a rum and coke over my shoulder. You need help. You'll think we need to do. Well, I figure out here, Clint's got an alcohol problem. I love it when I'm asleep, and in his sleep, Adrian will, like,

his hand will find me even when he's asleep and it's just like so comforting having his hand touching me or when we're at a party or a dinner or something and someone says something and Adrian just looks at me and it's a quick little look and we know exactly what the inside joke is and no one else knows and it's just that like we know each other I love that you and Hannah Woodhams him really like he looks at each other about it. Meag and I sometimes as well it's a quick little look I know and you know, and you know that I know that you know that I know. The big moments in life are great.

Yeah. But they can't be the moments that make you happy because they're not sustainable. They don't happen often enough. It's these little moments that make life worth living. And living in a way where you are open to noticing and appreciating those little lines, I think is half of it. Someone texted through, I love watching volunteers. Like people will volunteer their time to do something that they're passionate about or they love. That's incredible.

Yes. Someone just said I love nurses, like watching a nurse. My dad's been in hospital and I loved, you're right, watching the nurses. And they're just so amazing. Yeah, magic. And like, so compassionate. Actually, I guess on that first text, I love watching Instagram reels of guys that approach homeless people who have found themselves in hardship. And they give them like money or a car or they find them a place to live.

Or just talk to them like they're human beings. I love those videos. Someone else said I love old people have bald lollies in their pocket. just like they've put them in their pocket in case they see young people that day and I'll just give them a lolly so cute yeah that is lovely

so many texts how many calls from you guys so wonderful it's got to Kristen first shall we boys morning Kristen what is it for you kiyorra

so this is something for your babies it can be human babies or animal babies but when they do the little scoot and back up

and sit in your lap without you calling them The unsolicited lap set. Yeah. Oh my gosh. And then they stay for like a couple of minutes. Oh, they're all warm. I call it like a couple of buddies my little,

like it's like a warm loaf of sourdough straight out of the oven on my little lap. And you just, and you don't want to like make too big a deal, Kristen, do you? Because they might leave. No, and it's just kind of like, ah. I got something similar. I love when my son's drifting off to sleep. And then he manages an unprompted. I love you, dad.

Oh, man. Stop. I'm like, oh. Yeah. I think that's when you know you've clocked parenthood, eh? Yeah. Medi from Roakaka, morning. Morning.

How are you guys? Good, babe. Good. What's the thing you love? What's that little moment? Waking up on Christmas morning. Like, even as an adult, it's just like the most magical feeling. That's so true.

And it's only Christmas morning. There's something about it. It's magical. It is. It really is. Especially when there's kids, when you're an adult and then there's kids in the picture as well. Totally. You know, you're going to see your family. Oh, that's just heaven. What a joy. Thank you, Maddie. Well, how's this, Kate said, I love overhearing someone

saying how proud they are of you. Overhearing any compliment, like people, you know, and your partner or even your kids, like my nephew, who's like 16, who doesn't talk about his emotions much for Father's Day. He put a photo of him and my brother up and he said, Happy Father's Day to the most hardworking man I know. And it's like, I see how. I see how hard my brother works. He like sacrificed so much to give his kids a great life and he's to see his 16 year old boy call him

hard working. I was dumb. You know what? As this is said at the start of the movie Love actually but when you go into the arrivals gate at any airport my watching the reasons. Like you like everybody if you're just feeling down should go there and just what like and just actually stand there and watch people

arriving and seeing their families for the first time in a long time. I mean I've loved doing the segment but you guys I don't know do you guys need a tough Nope or what? No. Like, you guys, you're crying. All you talk about was drinking beer. It's fair.

I don't mention your kids what? Actually, no. I do love, you're right, I do love going to the airport and having that beer at like 11 a.m. It doesn't matter what time it is. And I'm like, yes, I will have a beer. Type a beer somewhere in the world. Clip's like, as long as I'm drunk, I'm happy. Clint, Meg and Dan.

We'll do. Thank you guys. On your babe. See you all that. It's one of those ones sometimes when it's like almost so broad, it makes it so hard, like something in the house. There's probably so many different things you could throw out there, but it's like, is it normal for the bridesmaid to pay for the hens party? That's news. Wow.

Well, don't they all split it? Yeah, but generally it depends. Sometimes the hens, like the bridesmaids will split it. Sometimes everyone pays 150 bucks each. Sometimes the bride, it all just depends. But I've been a bridesmaid a couple times and had to cop that. Okay. Well, when I say cop, I mean gladly pay for me.

Yeah, of course. Sounds like you didn't like it. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Our Halloween is almost upon us. Body effects has your Halloween sorted. You can shop now for safe, high-quality makeup. Delivered overnight, New Zealand-wide. Dan actually does an incredible happy Halloween voice.

It's like a ghoulish man. I won't get you to do it live, but he did do it and we record it. Take a listen. Happy Halloween. No, I hate it. I put the voice disguised her on. I'm so lowered his voice, but otherwise there was a... Oh, don't everyone the illusions.

I'm not saying I hate the whole concept of Halloween. But I do think we've gone too far, especially when it comes to little kids. My son, buddy, is nearly four years old. We went to Camer. They didn't even go inside. We walked past Kmart on the way to get him some sushi and he saw the ghouls and ghosts and the scary masks. Oh, there's a skeleton with the hood up I saw the other day.

I was exact same as you. He now will not go into a single room in our house even in daytime by himself because he's scared of zombies. Because he went to Kmart. Because he walked past Kmart. Yeah. And I said to him, Baba, you know zombies aren't real. And he said, no, I know, Mama, but I just want you to stay with me.

And then, Mommy, can you come with me to my place? playroom. Why? Because I'm scared. What are you scared of zombies? Like, he is fixated on this. And we went to, Kmart, just the two of us, me and Adrian late last night, because it's crazy headache, Kendi, and in it, anyway. Or in Kmart. And I'm like, this is too scary for children. Like, little kids should not be exposed to like zombies, ghouls, ghosts, skeletons. It's scary. We didn't have this when I was a kid. We didn't get Scooby-Doo. Yeah, but that's different. That's not like...

And then they put the mask off, right? but I think God, just a few meddling kids. I think these are like, I don't know, maybe this is, I mean,

and I don't know, bit rough, fair enough, you guys let me know if I'm being ridiculous here. I just think we've taken it too far. Yeah,

I was the same. And it was the same shop came out. And I think it's the same at a few of the big shops. Yes. Even Woolworth. Yeah.

And they had, it was like a big skeleton with a hood up and he was making noises as you walk past. It must be like a thing where you walk past and he goes,

hoo-ho-oh, like that. Literally scared the shit out of my son. He's a year and a half and he's got no idea of what scary things are because we've never shown it to him but it scared him and he'd cry.

He was like, away, away, away. Go up to the skeleton and dance with it. And then he realizes, oh, it's not scary. I think, I think kids are too soft. But I'm also offending, I don't know. He's kids too, not even two. Yeah, but I'm like, it's just, it's just, they're just skeletons and stuff.

If you show that it's just fun and it can be funny and not scary. When they're older, yes, and there are different kinds kids. Some kids take things to heart, like my boy. That's just his personality, very active imagination. Whereas other kids are like, yeah,

cool, fine. So wait, are we saying like the jack-o'-lanterns? Yeah. Fine. So like a little pumpkin with the light coming through. But we're saying like a gul with blood dripping off its face. Too far. It's the bit where we go. Fine, if you want to wear that on Halloween, happy days, go to these shops and get it.

Have like a knife that looks like it's going through your head but it's actually a trip. A shop that came up where it's like very kid-focused. Like the toys are just beyond it. Don't have a ghoul, a skeleton and blood coming out. Put a curtain up and have some fun things like jackal lanterns. And if people want to go into Halloween zone, great. But you can't walk into Kama without taking your kid past seriously scary stuff.

And I know I sound like an old lady yelling at the cloud, but I think it's too much. But isn't that, Halloween's supposed to be scary. And if your kid can't handle it, they don't get to go trick-or-treating until they can. What? Yeah, it's like, sorry, mate. If you can't handle seeing a skeleton, not only is different to just existing in the world and go on a Kmart.

I just think companies need to be a bit more aware of how far it's going and how scary some of the... Like there was like this evil teddy at Kmart last night. That was genuinely terrifying and I'm 39. And now we're going to email the manager of Kmart and we're going to complain. That's what we're going to do. Okay, so it's a bit rough.

Fair enough. I think it's about rough. I think it's Halloween supposed to be scary. Well, a lot of people are agreeing with Ash. Yes. So keep them coming through. Give us a pool. And other people,

Karen London. It actually suits it. There's the digs of the morning. Karen London. Still, we ways away, but Dan, if you could do the honours, if I put a little voice this guys on you. Happy Halloween. See, even that's just scary on its own.

I'm very impressive, though. Yeah, sorry about it. Now, Clint, turn it off, please. Come on. I'm not in the move. for this sort of this stuff. Not scary anymore, is he? Come on.

No, this is not a jokey segment. We're talking about a serious issue in the world and Karen London's here. Okay, all right. All right, but Ruffle, fair enough, that Halloween is too scary. No, not, okay. I'm not saying Halloween is too scary.

I'm saying the shops are taking it too far and some of the decorations are terrifying. want to have to, like, blindfold my child because he now, he doesn't even want to be alone because he's so scared of zombies. I think it's, I genuinely, I would usually stand on the side of, like, the big pansies and stuff, tough enough. But I agree with you on this case.

Now I've become a dad. You want to shout to your kids a little bit from it. Especially when they're young. Not forever. And you walk into a shop like Kama, and there's like a, for want of a better word, a dead man bleeding as you're going in. Yes, with an axe in one hand.

And an evil teddy and a zombie. It's too much. What do you reckon, Jade? Oh, come on, guys. That's what Halloween's all about. What, terrifying your children so they can't sleep. Oh, no. Look, my kids were exposed to it.

We went to America, and that is next level scary. And they loved it. It's what it's all about. It's a Celtic ritual. But how old were they, babe? Two and four when I went to America with them. Maybe it's a per- And they loved it.

Maybe your job is apparent to try to teach them that a lot of it doesn't exist and the stuff that does is all just fun and it's harmless. Exactly, exactly. Okay. I taught them what it was actually all about and it's about warding off the ghosts

the scarier the better and they loved it. Okay, thanks, Jay. Now, she's for Clint. Or now there is Janelle, though, who is very much against Clint. Janelle, what are you thinking, babe? Clinton, I love you usually. but I think what's you saying

you know it's just your kids just need to toughen up you can't make kids toughen up with their imagination and I only think that Ash you're just meaning in one particular shop in one particular way let's just move them from the kids section and I get it

my whole issue more which I find really really scary is that throughout the whole year we tell our kids and our kids grandkids, don't go near strangers, don't take things from strangers, and yet on the 31st of October,

it's okay to go to people's places and take strange candy. That to me is a real worry. That's why I put a sign on my gate that says no kids allowed. We don't celebrate this here. I guess, Janelle, yeah. I mean, I guess

the people that I definitely don't get along with, the people are so ignorant that when someone gives their opinion, they just, regardless of what they say, they won't take it in. I guess maybe it's a kid-by-kid thing. Totally. If your kid's just like real gung-ho, you're like, oh, it's fine. If your kid is someone that feels very deeply,

which you do, Ash, then I guess you have a son that obviously does as well. Totally. I remember in church that have light parties, so you weren't allowed anything scary or demonic, and everyone would come as fairies and frogs and all these things in churches would hold light parties for kids. We would not be allowed fairies at my church growing up. That was demonic.

The fairies. Fairies were over the day. Perhaps there are one. The ways that kids can still participate in Halloween, but a different version of it would like parties I remember going up. It's just that, like, another example of a text that's come through. I took my daughter into Bunnings. Now, Bunnings, come on.

Happiest place on Earth. And they had their Halloween display up. It was automated. So when she walked past, they jumped out and scared her. She's now terrified and doesn't want to go to Bunnings anymore. Like, are there no more safe places in the world? Yeah. What's a Chad?

Because someone's called me a Chad. What does that mean? I think that's a male Karen, maybe. No, I think it's a typo for Chode. Shut up What's that? It is not He's just calling him a Chad

Oh a Chad Okay yeah I'm imagining a chaz Like a cool guy Okay what about Carl From Dunniz Morning Carl Morning now

Good bro You got a four-year-old daughter Yep Yeah Like she's pretty emotional And everything Like everyone else Feels for feels

But we grew up with her Showing her The old cartoons Scooby-Dood Duck tails All that sort of stuff You know They have ghals

Goblins All that in there and that sort of has helped her out like she loves going and seeing that sort of stuff. So yeah, she desensitised her. God, has having a good made me all wokey-pokey.

Maybe. It just makes you like what's best for your child. And also we know that if our kid is scared, we're going to have to deal with the bedtimes, with, you know. But I think, look, we can wrap this up beautifully with our mate Kingy. What time is it?

821. It's taken him 2,021 minutes to text through and said, you're listening to Clint. in London and suck-a-de-dad. And I wouldn't want it any other way. Clint, Megan, Dan. Oh, my gosh. Dalla-dala bills, y'all. We have your chance to have your bills paid off every day,

all thanks to Westpac. They want to sort your horror bills. So you can take the word, Bill, to 3343. Let us know what you need paid. And myself, Dan or Ash, will reach into the box of horrors and attempt to grab the credit card inside. Problem is, we don't know what else is in that box

because we'll be blindfolded. Casey's on the blow-up and he's got a bill to play. Morning, Case. What's the bill you need to play, Casey? Well, it's a she. She, I knew it was a she. My car went in for a service. Oh, yeah.

How much, how much, babe? He's singing you for. $480 and one cent. Those pigs. The one cent. They could have at least just done a 480 flat, couldn't they? Oh, it's the labour cost, you know? One cent.

All right, well, Casey. Probably most of it. Who's putting their hand into the, mystery box. Oh, Dan, please. Nice. Tony, I knew I liked you, Casey. Oh, dear.

I don't hold on, please, Daniel Webbie. Okay, it's going on. Now, I can't promise anything here, Case, okay? I'm going to do my best. Okay. Doors opening. Box is coming in. Oh, that is disgusting.

He ain't going like that. I would say that's probably the... Oh, no. I can smell something. It smells actually nice. Oh, that is... I think this is the most, this is almost maybe as gross as me putting my hand in shit.

Oh, what, if I put my hand on like 20 mousetraps yesterday to find that critic card? It's moving. Oh, yeah, they are moving. Oh, do you say moving? No? I don't like moving stuff. Okay, in you go, darling.

Do it for Casey, you know, $480 at you definitely take your watch. I am taking off expensive watch. Your time piece. Okay, here I go. And I would say, we got a napkin or something for when he's done. Oh, sure. Straight away. No.

Yeah. Okay. Let's get him something to. put his hand. Go, Dan. Okay. Is it alive? Am I going to hurt something if I go really deep down hard?

Good, gently. You're fine. Keep going forward. There's a box in front of you. There's a box in a box. Go into it. And gently. No, no, no.

Nothing. A promise on our friendship, nothing will hurt you. That's poo. I don't actually know if it's poo. Oh, God, that's really soft. Okay. I'm going in. I'm doing this for you, Casey.

Just don't make any big sudden movements because you don't want it like. Okay, I'm deep in there. Oh, my goodness me. Whatever it is, it's getting under the nails. And I've got a front row seat and it's just, he can't see how disgusting. Oh, this is one of the, I've got it. I've got it. He's got it already.

Yep, I've got the card. And he has still got a worm on his hand. Ah, it's a worm! There's a hundred worms in there. Congratulations, Casey. Westpac will take care of your car service, $480 bucks and one cents. Oh, I feel bad. Did I just kill a wound?

You didn't hurt any of the worm. You're welcome, Casey. Go, go, Dan. You didn't hurt any of the worst. The worms, they're all very happy in all that. No worms were harmed in the making of this segment. Wow. I got worms.

That's what we're going to call it. Dan's got worms. That's what we're going to call this. Oh God, I need to keep my fingernails. Dumb and dumber reference for anyone playing along at home. Yeah, it was a worm farm. Where did you get them? Promos, people?

The garden centre. The garden centre. I got so, yeah, some worms. 4,000 tiger worms in there. Really? Tiger worms. I hope none of them laid eggs under your fingernails. That's what I'd be thinking about.

Bill to 33443. If you've got one that needs paying, we'll give you a, hopefully, a crack at getting that one taking care of tomorrow. If you're unsure, how credit cards work. You can make them work for you at Westpac's Fear Free Credit Hub. Appreciate you guys paying our listeners bills. That looks like a healthy mulch.

That really does. My garden could do with that, my elementary. Next, a message for anyone worried about Trump's autism pregnancy claims. Yeah, look, we're not going to get political on this. We're not going to even mention his name again. What we do want to do is speak to parents of autistic kids out there because I think there's a lot of really inflammatory language being used and it's not cool.

So that's what we're going to talk about next. Clint Megan Dan. We don't want to get political, so we're going to kind of just get straight into this. There's a lot of talk at the moment coming out of the US as Trump is claiming his whole thing before even got into his second presidency is we're going to cure autism. We're going to find the cure for autism. And he took the opportunity in the last couple of days.

He said, I'm going to come out and show all the evidence of a link between taking Tylenol, which we would call Pamol or Paracetamol and autism. Women who were taking Panadol, Paracetamol during their pregnancy and a direct link. Now, there's two parts that we want to address in this. The first is the claim he's making. And the second is this kind of demonisation of autism. So I want to start with something that Mama Meg, the incredible true woman of this show, who's on her mat leave at the moment shared on her Instagram

because I think she just said it so beautifully. I'll just read a part of it. She said, the guilt, anxiety and pressure that comes with pregnancy is insurmountable. Every choice you make from food to medication to lifestyle choices but comes with a heavy dose of what if this harms my baby.

Pregnancy also is incredibly difficult and can cause a lot of pain, especially in the third trimester. Pannadol has been deemed safe for many, many years for pregnant people who need it in the correct dosing. This claim that pregnant, people who take it will cause their baby to be autistic has caused a surge of emotions I can't even

describe. Number one being anger, second sadness for the inevitable guilt future mothers will feel and then suffer because they are worried about taking a couple of Panadol when they are in pain because they can't tough it out as Trump has pretty much said. Like you can have some if you can't absolutely can't tough it out. He wouldn't last a day being pregnant in his third trimester, not a single day, which is that was so touched me because when you are carrying a baby, you just want to do the right thing and it does not help when you then hear this

and even if you know your brain knows it's not true I guarantee women will still feel guilty taking that panadol yeah just so BS and I think our government's come out and said that it is fine you know you go to the Ministry of Health website

yeah I think we've got a bit of Luxem actually talking about it is there a Tim well I just say to you paracetamol is safe it's quite acceptable to be used by pregnant women and others who are dealing with fever I just encourage people our Ministry of Health

we're very comfortable with barocenamol being used in the way that it has been, as always. And I just encourage everybody, if you're concerned, check out the Ministry of Health website. Now, he's not a doctor, of course. He's the leader of the nation. I want to play this from an epidemiologist, Celine Gounder, who talks about the biggest study that's ever been done on this topic. Is there a tie between Tylenol and autism? No, the best evidence does not show an association between Tylenol and autism. So the best recent study looked at 2.5 million kids from Sweden.

They used sibling comparisons to factor out genetic factors and other factors. And they found no increase in risk in autism, ADHD, or other intellectual disabilities for pregnant women who used Tylenol during pregnancy. It's really hard then to not get angry at somebody who is spouting such misinformation and can actually then emotionally cause so much trauma for pregnant women when it's completely fabricated. And the thing that makes me sad as well, I have ADHD and I know a lot of people that have autism.

And it's like this demonising of autism. And I think autism is, you can function very well with autism. If there's anyone listening that has it, if there's kids that listening, there's adults that listening, they have autism, it can be a superpower. And I hate that these people are looking at this news, and looking at the leader of the free world, talking about it in such a negative way

when you can live an absolutely... Well, you can and you will. Yeah. And this whole idea that it's something to be cured is disgusting. It is disgusting because mothers and fathers all over this nation have got autistic children who they love,

who are achieving just as much as any other kid and they look at their child and go, I wouldn't want to change you because I love everything about you. Exactly. There's nothing wrong with you. You are not something to be fixed. Your child is not something to be fixed. and do not let someone who doesn't know what they're talking about

make you feel inadequate or make you feel inadequate about your children. We've got enough things to worry about in life. Made up things is not one of them. Exactly. We love you. If you want to weigh in on it and you've got something you want to say by all means, you can always call us anytime. 0-800-edge, fire us and ticks.

We see them all 3-3-4-3. Even the ones we tell us you hate us. We see those two and we welcome them. No, send them through as well as water off a duck's back. We were just talking about all the children. that's going around at the moment about paracetamol, pregnancy and autism and certain claims that it has an effect. Not claims lies.

Yes, yeah, true. It's just a distraction. It's not true. If it was true, there would be science to back it up. And there are doctors literally coming out of woodwork going, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, guys. This is very misleading. This is not the truth. This is not at all what the studies have proven.

We don't need to shame women anymore or guilt pregnant women anymore. But I think for us, all the biggest takeaway is it's just demonising. autism. It's demonising people with ADHD, people that do not need to be fixed or cured. Imagine how boring the world would be as well. If everyone looked at the world exactly the same. You know what? They thought exactly the same.

Autism, genuinely, can be a superpower. And I'm, like, there is so many very successful, amazing people in this world that have autism. Anthony Hopkins, one of the greatest actors of all time. They reckon Einstein was autistic. He was. Albert Einstein. Bill Gates. Tim Burton.

But even without this, even if it didn't make you a superhuman, Who cares? You know what I mean? Exactly. We shouldn't have to tell people with autism that you have a superpower and thus you're amazing. Like it's an added bonus, but I think it's like we should just accept autistic people. Someone says, great Mahi this morning on this topic guys, I've worked alongside people that either have a combination of ADHD or autism.

Now, I tell you what, it is a superpower. When they lock in, no one else can keep up. Right, totally. It's exactly what Dan's saying. They really can, their brains work in ways that ours just do not. But just like everybody, everybody has a doctor. different brain. It operates differently.

Totally. Orgyzism is just another one of those. Absolutely. Kyla, morning, she's called him, weighing in 11 weeks pregnant at the moment, Carla. Yeah. And how does this make you feel when you hear this kind of thing being told, you can't do this, you can't do this? Even if a part of your brain knows it's not true, how does it make you feel?

Like, angry and guilty, like you were saying before, like it's just nothing can compare it to, like thoughts that go through your mind when you're pregnant. Like every time you put any, for me at least, Kyla, any time I put anything in my mouth, I was like, is this going to hurt my baby? Is this okay? I spent half that 10 months, just Googling stuff. It's stressful. You don't even take me as someone who would have sushi pregnant.

No way. I wouldn't even have salad bar like sandwich. Because I was like, I wouldn't have rice. It was horrible guilty feelings. And now you'd imagine there was going to be thousands of women around the world that putting up with probably excruciating pain. And so you take Panadol. during your pregnancy, Kyla? Only with the migraines that I've just suddenly got.

There's hormonal pregnancy. I've never had migraines before. Well, hopefully it doesn't change what you're doing. You've got a doctor. You've got access to world-class health professionals. They're the people you should be taking your advice from. And the Ministry of Health website. One of the most trusted websites are New Zealand.

It's got all the information. And Danielle's called us who has ADHD. Morning Danielle. Hi, how are you guys? Good. How are you doing this morning with all the chat around ADHD and autism and stuff? It's just a lot. I mean, first and almost, I think, thank you guys just saying something on the radio about it

because there's probably a lot of people that are feeling much the same way. It's just insuriating. It's infuriating. It's, and it's trickle down, isn't it? Because you look at these people like Donald Trump and they're the leader of what they should be. And then it's false information. At the end of the day, it is.

How does it actually make you feel, Daniel? 100% percent. When you hear someone talking about a condition you have as if it is something that we need to be putting all of our resources into fixing, how does it actually make you feel? I think it's just so angry and it makes you feel like something is wrong with you. But then in the back of my mind, I'm like I know that there's nothing wrong with me. It's just like you guys are saying

my brain works in a bit of a different way to everyone else. Yeah. But I know in the back of my head it's nothing wrong with me that when you've got this information out there in such a wide public manner, like it does make you kind of think that there is something to be fixed about you.

Absolutely. Because I think for our whole lives until now, I don't know about you guys, but it feels like when leaders speak, of course they must be saying the truth. So it is really hard to kind of retrain your brain to go, well, now I have to question everything. We can't trust everything we're being told. Sarah, I'll give you the final word. You've got a son with ADHD and autism. Morning.

Morning. How are you? What are your thoughts? Well, it's very bizarre that he said that because I never took paracetamol once during my pregnancy with my son. And so I'm like, oh, well, if that's the case, then go figure. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, see, it's just, it's so dangerous. It really, really is dangerous.

For people with autism and people that are pregnant. Yeah, and Sarah, I love you to take him here to celebrate your son on the radio. I'd love to hear about him. Oh, he's amazing. He is an absolute genius. Like, he's miles ahead of my neurotypical son. Yeah, wow. And so, you know, like, that's just, he's quite remarkable, really.

Amazing. It's just the social side of things that he struggles with But, you know, it's got to be learnt Just like any skill in life Sometimes, you know, like sometimes we need to learn to read We need to learn to write, learn maths And he needs to learn social skills So, you know

We all struggle with something. Yes. And imagine if all this time, effort and resource Was putting into creating a world That gave parents better tools to help their kids That are on the spectrum to get ahead Help the world be more understanding, help us create a better world.

That is a better use of time and resource. We all struggle with something you're right, Dan, and Dan struggles with not knowing the answer, so he ends up Googling it, and once a week we go through his Google History to see. How did it? He's been searching online. Give Ash your phone, please.

Something a little lighter. This is the first time we've done Dan's Google History with the iPhone 17. Oh, hopefully it's hidden some stuff this. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Once a week, we get Dan to hand over his phone and go through his Google search history. What's in Dan's Google History?

It's as sexy as it weird. Well, it's a hard of great big mystery. What's just something new to fear. Hit me. Come on. So this is the first Dan's of Google history we're doing with the new iPhone 17s. I'm interested to see if it's changed the vibes.

First of all, what can I cook with two sausages and a potato? Someone would say you can just cook two sausages and a potato, couldn't you? be right. Although they did come up with like a sausage hash, which I tried doing and it was disgusting. You know. The sausages went all soggy and it was nightmare. Just make a mash. Just make a creamy mash with some two sausages studying them.

Bang is a mash. What's a hot male haircut? And were you a bit inspired by Clint's hair? Because someone said to me, because I went, I got a high fade the other day. Yes. And someone said to me, I'll still rocking the high fade in 2020. Oh, is that why you then texted that you then Googled a high fades out of style? Yeah.

And Google tells me it is, so shut up. Oh, well, Clint's got a high fade as well. No, he's got a mid. Okay. He's a bit mid. And it's a little bit higher than probably I'll do again. You know, I like, I've seen old videos of you when you had like a buzz cut. I thought that was your best look, personally.

Really? Yeah, when he had like a number three. I need to see a photo one. He's like toughs too round for a, I thought. Neepia's given two thumbs up in the booth. Nah, Dan, you look hot with a buzz cut. And when I did it blonde, because I had it blonde. blonde very very cool as well i think you should bring it back

should i blonde buzz cut me yeah i need to see a photo of it please okay i expect to see that in the next 24 48 hours if everybody says i'm hot i'll do it yeah yeah yeah dan you're hot or you can grow it out you can grow it on your shoulder length see how that goes i've done that before but my hair's like too thick that just goes up like a oh no no darling all right next up the next um lot of google query started well best way to treat your wife so i was like okay he's like oh we want to do something nice for Hannah, obviously.

And then the next one is cheap ways to treat your wife. So obviously whatever Google told him was too expensive. So then he's got cheap ways to treat your wife. And then next it's cost-friendly flowers. Oh my God. Don't bother, bro. Because I know my wife. And she'll go, I'll get her some flowers.

And then she'll go, where'd you get the money for these? And that'll stress her out even more. So if you say, I got them from my money that you let me have, but they were cheap. Her dream bouquet of flowers is I've stolen them. From a grave. Yeah, you're free somewhere. I've got them for free.

Oh, God. I know what you could get it for free. It's not getting in the box. I didn't say the word. I didn't say the word. You're getting in trouble. I said, it's my box. There could be anything in a box.

I don't think she'd like that either. Oh, gosh. So the last one is... She probably prefer the flowers. Is verging on creepy, which sometimes happens with these Google history query. It's like you think, are you planning on some sort of an ambush or a stalker?

real life stalk. And if I was Liam Lawson's mother, I'd be worried. First of all, Liam Lawson family, and then photo of Liam Lawson, Mom, Liam Lawson, Mom, Availability. But can I explain? Because we were trying to get Liam. He's a Formula One driver. No, we were. I don't remember this. We were trying to get him on the show. And then someone suggested, why don't we get his mum? No, none of that happened. You're making that up. Does mum do the place a fifth in Azerbaijan?

That is it on Sunday. What's she going to talk about? What is like in the car and all the rest of it? Her name's Kirsty. I've seen a couple of photos of her. Because I saw, I found a lady called Kirsty Lawson, and I needed to see a photo of Liam with her. Oh, this is very creepy, Daniel.

Yeah, it is a bit, mate. It is but no wonder she left John's seen. Yeah, watch out, Kirsty. We're going out for dinner tomorrow, so. I'm back here. Holy shit. You made it the whole. way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow.

And then if that's not enough, check out our only fans, podcast, that is.
