This is a podcast from Rover.
Some podcast educate, some inspire.
We do neither.
Welcome to the most unnecessary thing you'll listen to today.
This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Clint Megandan with Ash London.
The head's frecky.
Hits harder.
Being on 6 o'clock.
Good morning.
Welcome Friday, mate it.
Yes, we're here.
This week has gone quickly.
I must say.
I'm really angry at you guys, though.
Oh, what have we done?
birthday, have we forgotten?
No, it was my birthday.
First I was supposed to start.
Remembered I had influenza.
You should remember that,
that's right.
No, I remember because Ash goes on
about how her husband's story is important.
Still, not your present.
Is there anything, you're looking at me now,
you're thinking, is there something you've forgotten to mention?
You haven't done your hair?
I got a haircut yesterday, and he took way too much off.
Thank you.
I think it looks lovely.
Very short.
I think it's, the messy, look, suits you.
That's normally my superpower.
If a girl dies the hair or cuts the hair,
It's like my thing that I'll notice.
I was expecting you as soon as I walked in to say,
hey, baby, looks so hard.
I feel like when Spider-Man realizes he can't stick to walls anymore
and he's like losing his balance.
Oh, he wouldn't be able to think about that
because he'd be splattered on the floor, wouldn't it?
The day he realizes that.
Yeah, when I lose my powers, it's not really like life-threatening.
No.
But I always say, if you don't notice a haircut,
it's usually a good thing because they've done a good job.
It's subtle.
It's not groundbreaking.
Yeah.
And it's not like you've done a completely new hairdo.
Like you've gone up for a pixie cut or something.
And the guy that cut it actually knows young Clint Randall over here
from the old Dancing with the Stars Days.
And he said, oh, Clint, is he still taking his top off?
Any opportunity he gets?
Yep.
That's our boy.
He'll be still doing that when he's 80.
Yes.
Which is a couple of years away.
Oh, okay.
No, it's enough.
You've wrecked it.
We're going to play a song now.
Just thought I'd bring you down because Ash has been brought down as well.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
About to jump into our 6 a.m. throwback.
Us versus the playlist.
I don't like the playlist chants this morning.
Okay.
It's Rihanna.
Who we love.
Yeah.
It's good stark.
She has some absolute bangers.
Yeah, but this I think is a whiniest song.
I don't want to do this anymore.
Oh, yeah.
Stop, wouldn't you?
Is she saying that like if I leave, he'll die because I'm so amazing and I don't want to be a murderer?
No, but it is Rihanna.
I mean, I mean, she's.
She is pretty cool.
I mean, if I was with Rihanna and she left me, I'd be pretty.
So you were never going to be with Rihanna.
No, exactly.
It's not worth worrying about it.
You imagine, though, you and your wife break up, and then she's like, yeah, good riddins.
And then all of a sudden, like, Dan starts dating Rihanna.
Your wife would be like, what a turn for the books.
What a turn for the books.
And I think we're safe in general.
Hey, I'm sick of the negativity.
Your haircut has made you negative.
Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe it was like her main was her positivity, and now she's chopped it all off.
You really think it had a main and now it's really short
because I'm worried that it's too short.
It's for a trim.
Was it?
Yeah.
I think it looks fantastic.
You know what?
They need to have, because Ashley Cajanii thinks it's too short, obviously.
And they need to have a trim scale in the salon.
And you go trim and then you point going, that's what you think a trim is.
Or that's what, and they're obviously different extremes.
Yeah, but he held up my hair.
And I love the kite.
It's a great guy.
He did a great job.
Take a brook.
But he held it up and he's like just that much.
I was like done.
And I was like, when I got home, I was like, whoa, wait a second.
And then Adrian, this is how you know.
Your husband came home and didn't say anything.
Oh, yeah.
No, your husband should always know.
I'd leave him.
Isn't that so funny, though?
I know there's double standards across men and women.
But like, whether we like or not, we're like, oh, great.
Oh, amazing.
Whereas women can be straight and go, hey, hecker, that sucks.
You don't do it like that again.
I'll tell them, my friend, it'll take two months.
It'll go back, you'll be fine.
But for now, just find a better way to style it.
That's how we would talk to each other.
So long story short, let's get Brianna.
out of the log.
And I take you, or your Rihanna,
and I raise you Eminem,
whose birthday at us today.
Now, take a guess.
Wait, before we do that,
we're in a new studio today.
And my dad is holding the microphone
like he is running a bingo thing
for another 80s.
Because it's too short.
I have to like lean down
like a hunchback of Notre Dame.
Put your chair down.
Why don't we swap places?
No, I've got this one on the arm.
No, that'd throw my OCD.
I think if you were on my right
and it was on my left
Yeah
Oh God now someone's coming in a touch
Does he not?
I know how to operate a microphone
NEPI I've been in radio for much longer than you my friend
How come and twist my knobs?
How come Nipia managed to lift up your mic
sat in about two seconds then?
And I quite like holding it
I feel like Rod Stewart
Oh
Sean is age again
Rod Stewart
The first example he could think of
Anyway
This is the one you're meant to be used
Oh you're on the wrong microphone down
This is making a mountain out of a mole hill
You started it
I did it, she brought it up anyway
You have to look at you holding the microphone
Like it's ridiculous
I reckon we play a bit of M&M
but lose yourself
Come on
It's a Friday song
Oh sorry guys
Oh okay well
It's got ash yawning
So not a great start
It's gonna pump me up now come on
Okay you ready
Knees weak arms heavy
Okay
Hit the jams baby
Not because you said to do it
I did it because I was already gonna do it
It looks like you did it because I said...
You're not the bus with me.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
About to jump into a bit of a coffee ketchup.
We should tell the people that given that the Adjavos are doing their 24-hour interview thing
in our studio, which we share with them.
Yeah.
Yeah, so we're sharing a new studio today.
Well, I'm in here usually every day for my other job.
But you're in my chair, too.
Yeah, I know.
Everything's different in here.
The mics are different.
The buttons are different.
It's darker.
I guess it's kind of like when you get like a new partner
and you're like, yeah, they do that the same as my old one
and change is as good as a holiday for some people and for others.
They don't like change.
They're not used to that.
I'm imagining you don't love change.
No, I love it.
Really?
It's like a change.
He loves change.
I get very bored with same old, same old.
Me too.
And then I feel like I'm wasting my life because there's so much to do with your life.
And if I'm doing the same thing for too long, then I'm like, imagine all the opportunities
that I'm missing out on because I'm just doing...
Or maybe there are no other opportunities.
Maybe not.
The other option is to be home and employed.
Yeah, well, the thing is, with Clint as well,
he played soccer yesterday,
a bit of football for the, like,
there was like this work league thing
where it was all these different...
Music Works, Charity, and our company put a team in, yeah.
And he got a bit of a bump on the head from playing soccer.
And he's saying that he's got a bit of a delayed concussion.
I was when someone like, we'll whip the ball into the box
and then you'll go up to hit it into the goal,
but the keeper came out
and we both came out
and clashed
clumsy
have you had a concussion check
no I sort of woke up
and I mean well woke up
I got up and was a little bit
woozy but I carried on
playing and seemed fine
I'm surprised the medics
didn't come and give you a check on the field
or is a bit too light of provo
it's soccer
yeah no they actually
they had them
the little ambo staff
and they had the physio tent
in fact one of our girls ended up
having a guy come and kick her in the back of the knee
and she blew her ACL in the first two minutes.
Get me that guy's number.
Yeah.
Who's doing that in a friendly?
And another guy, because it's funny,
because there are some people that play and some people who don't play.
And this was obviously a guy who didn't play.
He was just running past me and just pushing off at pace.
He snapped his archelies.
We didn't know at the time we found afterwards that's what he'd done.
It was like when someone does a hamstring
and they just like drop to the floor and no one's touch him.
But everyone's looking at me because I was behind him and I was like,
I didn't touch him.
And then he told everyone in the tent that that that clink guy from the edge did it.
Really?
I was like, mate, you're just too embarrassed to say
that you obviously just took off faster than you ever have before in your life.
And this was the same guy that did the girl?
No, a different guy because we were saying to them,
hey guys, can we just calm down?
This is a charity event.
We've got girls on the field who don't necessarily play every week.
And you've just gone and blown the ACL out in one of the girls.
And he goes, oh, what about our guy?
He's got to snap the Achilles.
And we're like, yeah, but he did that to himself.
Yeah.
No one did that.
We didn't payback.
Who were the team?
Say it.
Was it another radio station?
No, it was like some MRI team.
It's actually, you know, Nixon, he used to work on the edge.
All those cousins.
Because they came up and they're like,
we're Nixon's cousin, he was supposed to play.
They're actually lovely dudes.
We played them again later in the tournament.
But I think it was just first game.
Everyone was coming out a bit too excited.
It was like, guys, calm down.
We're not playing for money.
We watched Nixon once play football, like as in rugby,
and he copped something in the face him.
nose was bleeding and Buddy was there.
And this was like four months ago, my son, buddy.
And every week he'll ask his uncle Nixon's nose dot bleeding.
He's obsessed with the fact that Nixon had a nose bleed four months ago.
If it was still bleeding now, he would have lost a lot of blood.
Well, I was like, I was fine, carried on playing.
I had a little bit of a ringing head when I was driving home.
But then this one I worked up and I was like dry reaching into the toilet.
I was like, I couldn't get anything up.
But I was like, chat GPT on the way to work.
And I was like, why you're pulled over.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Someone else is driving.
Yes, he's got a driver.
This is the delay concussion I said,
Hey, Philip, could you please drive me this morning?
Giles, I'm going to text, so I need someone to drive me to work, thank you.
Thank you.
That's, yeah, it's better.
It's better.
All right, hey, coming up next, first call of the day.
Why can't it be you?
Yeah.
Give us a call.
Come on, it's Friday.
We'll see how the voucher to go spend in stores yet over the weekend, too, for your troubles.
Clint Mega Dan
Leschol
Opelites
Whatever that is
It's like a man-made glass
I think like the type of crystal
It's like an opal
Yeah woo-woo
It's a man-made opalite
Opal and she talks about
The meaning is that you can make your own magic
Like you can make a life that's
And opalite is used for like
Spiritual and Emotional Healing
And a peace and communication
Oh is she a crystal chick
Oh god yes
Oh yes
First call of the day
First call on the day
I'd say Taylor, if there was a hierarchy, she'd be the queen of Woo-Woo.
She'd be up there.
Really? Yeah.
Yeah, I think everyone, all girls are these days.
First call of the day.
Morning, Haley.
Good morning.
Haley, you drive my growing up dream car.
What, a RAV-4?
Oh, no, okay, I saw Mazda MX-5.
No, she drives a RAV-4.
I don't know.
Did you used to drive an MX-5?
No
Well why does it say
Weird like how on
Producer Carl's put in notes
I don't drive a master MX5
Thanks mate
You couldn't list all the car
She doesn't drive
No
Just go with the one she does
Because it's like
That's a classic hairdresser car
That's like the joke
It's like oh you drive an MX5
You're a hairdresser Hayley
That's true
I did hear about it being a hairdresser car
And that's when I think
My 16 year old self decided
Not for me
Now here's the thing
Haley
You are a hairdresser
And you're from the industry
How many hairdressers
actually drive MX5s
Because I'd say not many
No, hardly any
And I would have thought that a hairdresser car
Was like a Suzuki Swift
Right
Suzuki Swift is a great
In fact, my hairdresser in Australia
Drives Suzuki Swift
Yeah
If I've nailed it
Yeah, exactly
And you drive a Rev 4
Do you get offended by the line
That Kanye West says
What do you think I rap for
To push an F in Rev 4?
Like he's kind of dissing your car
I'm like, mate, I'm not working for one of those
Or you're not bothered
I'm not bothered
Yeah
I wouldn't be bothered by Kanye West
He's got his own problem
Yeah, but if I was driving a RAV for, my mates would always be like,
yo, what do you think I'm rap for?
And I'd be like, yeah, I get it, mate, yeah.
But did you hear on the Kim Kardashian did call her daddy
and said that at the height of his mental health episodes,
he would give away their Lamborghinis?
He gave away like 10 of their Lamborghinies.
Just giving them away.
Just to his mate.
Willie, nearly.
And he'd wake up and she'd like, wear our cars.
And he'd go, I gave them away.
And he'd buy more.
The next day, he'd get another one just to replace the one he'd given to his best, mate.
Crazy, eh?
Now, Haley, what's harder?
Just last question before we let you.
move on. A man's
haircut, like a fade,
or a woman's, just trim.
A man's hair cut.
Yeah, I agree. But yet
they're much cheaper. I feel like girls
are getting ripped off for their haircuts, because
they're an easier cut. Really, they're just
trimming them, whereas men are having all these different...
Yeah, my brother gets a fade for 19 bucks.
It's such a random number. Guess how much my haircut
cost yesterday? Like,
$2.80.
Shut up.
Bang on.
Bang on.
Yeah.
But like, it's like...
Like, no offence, wasn't worth that.
I should have gone and seen Haley.
My mistake is no emotional connection with a man, though.
That's true.
True, true, true.
Yeah, because honestly, the barber's not going,
hey, Clint, so how was the trip with the kids?
I know you were nervous about it going in
because, you know, there was a lot of travel involved.
Like, I feel like we go to, like, a woman hairdresser.
Do you guys actually write notes in the system?
So you can be like, oh, what the hell was Ash doing last time?
She was here, oh, that's right now I can pretend that I remember.
Oh, you just remember?
I was going to say, I actually just remember.
Sometimes I might get the details boggy and be like,
weren't you going to like here last time or something?
And I'm like, oh, my God, you've got such good memory.
And they feel so special.
Yeah.
And they get up selling on all the products.
Babe, I will take that new shampoo conditioner and heat styling balm that costs $80.
Haley's not a normal hairdresser.
She remembers and she doesn't drive an MX5.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go on against the grain.
Against the grain.
Come on, babe.
Come on.
All right, Haley, you hold there.
We'll grab a details, get a Z-vouch route to use.
You can spend in store over the weekend.
No one's crust-only toast.
You can grab fresh branded Z tonight.
And also, who do we need to screw here to get the phones a bit louder?
Yeah, they are very, I'm riding them as high as they go in this new studio.
Are they coming out loud for you guys?
Yeah, that's sort of normal.
Yeah, I'll come in to have a look.
I had a max volume.
Also, while we're doing admin stuff, can we get a sheet printed out when we get a set?
Yeah, I'm doing the sheets now.
Everything's weird and different here.
I don't like it.
Can someone come in?
Tell me I'm pretty.
Thank you so much.
Right. Yeah, the Ed Jarvos are doing their
24-hour interview with Barocca.
So you can check it out on the live stream,
Theedge.orgia.com.
After our show, check it up.
Yeah, I imagine, because they're over the halfway mark,
they're starting to get a little delirious.
Yeah.
It's good watching.
What you could do is have that on a computer,
have us on the Rover app.
Yeah.
Brilliant stuff.
You need to watch.
You don't need to listen to them.
Just see the delirium.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Gossiper entertainment.
Glit Megan Dan with Ash London.
Scandal.
No time for the supermarket. Zed has grocery, every day essential scandal.
All thanks to Zed.
Yesterday, I talked about KFed, Kevin Fideline, started out as Brittany's backup dancer,
ended up being her husband.
I don't know that's how they got together.
Yeah, that's an upgrade, eh, being the backup dancer and then you're literally equal to Britney, really.
Even after they got divorced and she went through her battles, he became the, he had like sole custody.
She was paying $40,000 a month in child support.
I just read this
and it ended
end of 2024
which is when their youngest son
graduated high school
So
His kid's like
No
He's like losing his 40 grand a month
Now what's he going to do
He's going to release a memoir
Because he needs to make some more money
Which is
When you look at it that way
It is very fishy
And then when he's trying to sell
The memoir doing interviews
And he's begging but Brittany
Even though I don't think she is well
No
But there's no need to do it in the media
Yeah so this is a bit of the audio
that we played yesterday. He's doing the press tour and just airing their dirty laundry.
I'm absolutely as a father terrified that one day I might wake up and my sons are going to have
to deal with the unimaginable. I kind of have to sound the alarm that I truly feel that
somehow, some way I just wish that their mom would get help. What's going on now, and I'm not going
to get into details because I'm not going to just expose her personal life. But it's 10 times worse than anything
that I've said in my book.
I've stayed with my...
Yeah, it's pretty full on.
Like, at first I was like...
Because everything is saying
is probably right
and probably true for him.
You know what I mean?
I'm not denying it.
But it just feels so icky.
So she, a couple of hours
after that all went live.
She went on Instagram.
I did quite a long post.
She said the constant gaslighting
for my ex-husband
is extremely hurtful and exhausting.
I've always pleaded and screamed
to have a life with my boys.
Relationships the teenage boys is complex.
I felt demoralized by this situation
and I've always asked
and almost beg for them to be part of my life.
and she goes on at the very end
she says
I'll always love them
and if you really know me
you won't pay attention to the tabloids
of my mental health and drinking
I'm actually a pretty intelligent woman
who's been trying to live a sacred
and private life for the past five years
and that actually
when you hear that
like she says sounds very
like your head screwed on
yeah I think it's the crazy dances that she does
just in that she posts Instagram
and I'm not like she's done well
because no one else is really doing that in their bikinis
but maybe that's just her thing.
But in her defence, how many people put weird stuff on Instagram all the time?
So many people.
And I think for me, just plays into this idea that for her whole life,
especially men, have just profited off of her.
They have taken money from her.
They have used her for her talent and then rinsed her and drained her
and then made her look crazy
after they have taken advantage of her financially.
That would send anyone.
And I remember, like, she gets a lot of shit about her performing
and how she lip-synced and all that stuff when she was performing.
I saw her in Vegas, and it was the best production like I've ever seen for a show.
Wow, really?
And she was incredible.
Like, dancing-wise, I think she did a little bit of lip-syncing, but who doesn't these days, you know?
And yeah, it was such...
And no, no, and it was such a cool, and she had, she, you could tell that she had, her hand was in everything.
You know, she knew exactly what she was doing.
She's a smart lady.
Yeah, and don't you?
I really feel for her.
I hope she comes good.
I hope if she gets older, she has some...
good people around her, she gets him help.
But most importantly, I hope one day she gets to have a proper relationship with her sons
because from everything she puts on her socials, it's kind of the one thing that she wants.
Right, Dan's Celebrity Crush is on the show with us next.
Yeah, Chelsea Winter.
Oh, the chef.
I would say she's my celebrity crush.
My wife loves her a bit of a lot of people out there will be loved to hear from Chelsea Winter.
Her cookbooks are like Bibles.
Really?
Bible in the Weeby household.
Yeah, her banana chocolate chip muffins.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Clint, Megan Dan.
We have Celebrity Chef.
Chelsea Windsor on the show with us.
This morning.
She's got a brand new book, Nourish, that is out now.
You can get your hands on.
Morning, Charles.
Good morning.
How are you?
Good.
Better now we're speaking to you because I feel like I have lived with you for my whole life.
My wife, Hannah.
Her whole life, just adult life.
Adult life.
Since Chelsea's been putting out amazing cook books.
My wife Hannah loves you, and everything we cook is.
from one of your cookbooks.
No way.
That is amazing.
I'm so happy to hear that.
Yeah, I've lived basically
like most lunches on your banana
chocolate chip muffins.
Oh my goodness me.
You're a very lucky man.
I know, I am very, very lucky.
Chelsea, is it kind of like, you know,
people that work at gyms,
the last thing they want to do
is when they finish their shift
is actually work out themselves.
What's your meal prep and stuff like?
Are you actually like a wizard in the kitchen
or you're like, no.
Just Uber eats every night.
Yeah, because I can't be bothered.
I'm literally writing books about it.
I need a break.
Yeah, I'm a wizard in the kitchen,
but it doesn't mean that, like,
I cook up a gourmet meal every night.
No way.
Must be so much pressure when you get invited around
and you go, oh, can I bring anything?
Like, we get asked to make the playlist all the time.
We go to parties, like, oh, she'll do the music.
And you're like, oh, yeah.
Do you just rock up with, like, booze?
Like, that's a good one.
No, I'll just be in the booze.
No, I mean, I just rock up with something
from one of my books,
pretty well.
I'd be pissed off if I invited Chelsea Winter
and she just bought booze.
True.
Yeah.
But honestly, if I get home and I'm really lazy
or if the kids have gone, you know,
to their dads for the night,
I don't even cook.
Yeah.
I just like have a bit of toast.
Oh, gosh.
I love a bit of toast.
Yeah.
Underated.
Buttered toast at night when you buy yourself
and then kind of cup of tea with it.
What's your favourite recipe from Naurash?
Like the one thing that you know is just
every time people make it, it's going to impress.
It's like that single on a new outfit.
It's going to impress.
It's like that single one.
The marshmallow slice is definitely one of my favourites because it is just so fun to make and it is incredible to eat.
And the Tick and Pie 2.0, which is like the healthy version of, well, healthier version of the one from at my table, my first book.
Are you just sitting there making up new recipes going, I wonder if that would taste good with that.
And then you throw it together, you go, nope.
Or you're like, oh, that's amazing.
Yeah, you mean when I'm actually testing the recipe.
Yeah, like if you're going to write a new book, I imagine,
you kind of just throw in shirt at the wall
and just seeing what sticks.
And like, I don't know, it's like musicians,
they wouldn't just sit down with a guitar
and just write an incredible song every time.
Well, yeah, I mean, it's definitely,
as I've gone on in the process,
it does slow a lot easier.
I find it really easy to just go into the kitchen
and be like, okay, I want to make a chicken dish
and I want to have this, that and the other in it.
And I'll just go in there and it will just kind of come together
because, you know, I've tested
and literally created hundreds
and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of recipes in my time.
But, you know, sometimes it is a bit more of a challenge to create a recipe.
If it's, you know, for example, this book is all refined sugar-free, right?
So making a marshmallow slice using maple syrup in the marshmallow instead of just white sugar,
it's different.
So it's a real learning process for me as well.
Like it's a real, like I put a lot of research into it, a lot of time, a lot of energy.
And to make sure that when people cook the recipes, they work.
get around the new cookbook.
Also, you're going to be
a new Plymouth, Nelson
and Tauranga as well over the next
week or two.
That's right.
Yeah, if you're in those areas,
yeah, make sure you go and say hi to Chelsea
and thank you so much for coming on the show.
Thanks for having me, guys.
I hope you see you all in Inglewood this Sunday.
Amazing goodie bags with 200 bucks each.
Oh, goodie bags.
See you there.
Good on your Chelsea.
Have a great weekend.
Thank you.
Bye.
See you later.
It was cool.
Yeah, she's got a...
Inglewoods, five shoes.
She reminds me of that.
Different in gourd.

But it's the last day to play.
And then also hear your name read out at 10 and 12.
The more you play, the more chances you have to hear her name.
Answer that call.
Next week on Wednesday,
money live, someone will win $10,000.
Yeah, we had a meeting about it yesterday, didn't we're talking about Wednesday?
And, oh, my goodness me, we've got a lot planned for the day.
I didn't realize it was happening while we're doing the show.
I thought it was like a nighttime thing.
We're going to have it on the show live.
Oh, they can't afford overtime for Dan.
Yeah, no, that's got my contract.
Oh, you're going.
Millions.
Here we go.
Millions.
If you can give us 10 answers starting with the lead ash gives you inside 30 seconds,
you'll win a thousand bucks right now.
No repeated answers
You can pass
If we've got time
We'll come back
And hoping to win the cash this morning
There's Terran
Morning Taran
Hi
Hey how are you
Good
You're ready to go
Oh my gosh
I can't believe I got through
I'm terrified
Don't be terrified
We're all friends
We love you Terran
We all want you to win
Love you too
Thanks babe
Yes me too
I'm so poor and unemployed
Okay
Well you need the Souso baby
And I'm desperate to give it to you
Today your letter is
R for raking in the cash
That's what you'll be doing
Okay
All right your time will start
When Ash finishes asking you
Your first question
Here we go best like Terran
Can I have a fruit or vegetable
A shape
A type of music
A brigue
Ice cream flavour
Sorry
Ice cream flavour
A pet
A rat
A spicy meal
A spicy meal
Something you'd find in the bathroom
Um
Rid towel
A spice
Time
Okay you pass two you got through five correct
So you pass on the first and the third
I would have given you an out to two seconds of the end by the way
For my stumble over ice cream flavour
but you'd already pass it well.
I think once you pass two, you're done.
Yeah, unfortunately.
You can't come back for two.
Yeah, fruit or vegetable, red onion, radish.
Have you got nice feet, Tarran?
Oh, yeah.
Something to think about.
True.
I think I would, that's what I'd be doing if I was you.
On the old feet picks.
Yeah, real low-level only fan entry stuff.
Yeah, it's not hurting anybody.
And I think if you've got scummy feet as well, there's always a market for them as well.
There's something for everyone to do.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, unique feedback.
Back again at 8 o'clock.
Another chance for you to play for a grand in the hand with easy money.
Clint Megan Dan.
Ooh, I'm sorry, Ash, you do not have a mic.
This break.
Your sucks.
Oh, my God.
What is going on?
If you've just joined us, we're broadcasting in another studio because each afternoon's.
What?
Oh, no, that's not.
This is the hissy one.
Oh, this sucks.
Okay.
What about that one?
No.
Two, two.
Oh, yeah, okay.
No, we're good now.
Okay, we're good.
We're good.
So it's Clint's fault.
Well, yeah, we've rewired two mics and I'm not sure which one's planned.
Okay, hey, eight o'clock this morning, just want to let you know,
John is an international truth booth applicant who's going to be talking to us
about the secret he's been keeping for about 40 years.
I'm not carried guilt.
It isn't right what I did.
And it scared the hell out of me.
Has the statute of limitations passed now where if you went to the police and you told them
the secret, they'd be like, ah, well, you're fine.
Yes, I actually spoke to a lawyer about this before we did this radio spot.
Yeah, so that's coming up after eight, what did he do?
We've never had someone had to seek legal counsel before talking to us.
Maybe more people should, to be fair.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Oh, maybe the secret family should have done that.
Something a little lighter, though, the producer diary highlights of the week,
according to our producer NEPs, let's see who the MVP was,
and who was lucky to still have a job after this week.
I think it was.
Asamaria, good morning, and welcome back to another producer diaries.
The team's back.
after a well-deserved week off, so let's get into it.
We started the week off with some really sad news
that legendary actress Diane Keaton had passed away.
Ash was absolutely devastated,
but Clint didn't quite understand crying over a celebrity.
Luckily, listener Hayden keeps old tan boy in check, though.
Wonder if you've ever cried over the passing of a celebrity?
Someone just texted saying that they cried when...
Don't read it out. It's mean.
All right, read it out.
I cried when Clint Randall's TV career died.
Maybe two of us then, Hayden.
Thank you, buddy.
That was Hayden's growth, for me.
Good on, you, Hayden.
I thought that was from your wife,
because of the salary, went down.
Clint also kept digging his grave that morning when he said this.
My wife wouldn't even let me weigh her at night time.
No way as if.
And when I say, when I say weigh her.
He's like, time of your way in?
Come on, you've just got home.
No.
And later that morning, you can bet that Dan wouldn't let him forget it either.
Dan bumped into someone who accidentally saw him naked back in the day.
over the weekends and we're all going to weigh ourselves which one of us is lighter people are saying ash i disagree
as if i was just going to brush past someone seeing dang naked can we just get a bit more context
though please they saw me naked up a tree which i can explain next now it's time for a game of edge
breakfast out of context i reckon we'll let you handle it this week ash so bad i've never wanted
to nail something more.
Beautiful, that should do it.
As Dan can attest to, there's not much worse
than being caught in the nude, and Clint's wife
Jamie found herself in that situation
this week. My wife yesterday
heard me coming into the garage,
not an euphemism.
We didn't think it was, but yeah.
No one thought that, darned.
And was waiting for me
with her pants down, just like
bare ass, just for fun. She also
didn't realize that I had organised
for a guy to come around
to wash the house, or at least
to a quote to see what I was going to cost
to do a bit of a water blasting around the house.
So literally as I'm pulling in, I see
the van pull up and the guys, yeah,
I see the washed stuff written on the side.
So I leave the gate open so he
can pull into the drive. Nice. So as he's
getting out of his car, I'm getting out of mine,
he's walking in. My wife's
a pair of us.
What a legend!
There's he goes, so does he know how quick
my wife tries to get her fans back
because she heard a voice that wasn't mine.
He's like, you're still going to have to pay for this,
that age.
And that's all we've got time for this week.
It's beer o'clock for me.
We'll see you same time, same place next week for another producer diary.
Bear o'clock?
That might have been when you were creating that yesterday.
And I hope you don't meet at quarter past seven on a Friday morning, Neeps.
No, no, I was talking about right now.
Yeah, no.
Clint doesn't start until 10 a.m.
Yeah.
That's his cut off.
And the weekend starts.
Clint Megand Dan.
Clint Megan Dan with Ash London's.
Here comes the bribe.
All right.
offering you cash to wind up someone in the bridal party ahead of your wedding.
Jamie is the brave groom deciding to wind up his wife to be.
$500 cash on the line if you get it done, Jamie.
When's the wedding?
The 21st of November.
Okay.
So it's not far away.
Okay.
So I would imagine, is there still a lot to do?
Are you like, no, we're pretty well now just right in the way to the finish?
Yeah, we're pretty sorted now.
I mean, we've planned mostly everything, all the food and everything's sorted.
We're still trying to make sure that there's nothing big.
have missed. Have you booked to the venue? I hope so.
Yes, yes. We're actually getting married on the beach, but the reception will be held at one of the
batches that we will play around with. It'll be over in Takaka, just outside of Nelson.
Beautiful part. I thought you said Antarctica. Yeah. It's a winter wedding.
Yeah. Now, how would your wife to be feel, your beautiful fiancé feel, if, say, for instance,
the venue of the reception fell over. Fell over. Fell down, you know, there was a cancellation.
there.
I think giving her close to this to the wedding,
it would definitely be a bit of a freak out situation.
I think she normally keeps herself pretty composed, but yeah.
How many people are expecting to attend the reception, Jamie?
There's going to be about 30 people.
Okay, well, what if, for $500, your bribe
is to convince your bride to be that, unfortunately,
they've double-booked your reception venue.
but they've come up with some sort of a plan B
and just see if she's one of those brides that goes,
you know what, babe, as long as I'm marrying you
and you're saying yes and I'm saying yes,
I don't care where it is.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Sounds like a plan.
Okay.
Okay, we're going to put the call through.
All right, here comes the bribe.
Hello?
Hey, honey, it's Jamie.
Sorry, I'm calling you off my workmates phone.
My phone's died.
Oh, hi.
I have some kind of awkward news.
don't freak out
so one of
the reception venue that we planned
to sort of have the
reception at they've just sent me
an email and said that they
have actually double booked us and
they don't think that they're going to be
able to accommodate us anymore
so
I think I have a bit of a plan
what about
what about one of the other
reception uh one of the other batches that we had
what one was it um the actual place we're having the reception at
yeah it's the big one
yeah
I'm I can go jump on it right now and have it
so what I was thinking is
I don't know if the batch is going to be available
um to sort of
plan it out there they said we could do it at the
in the garage but I think that's pretty crap
um do you
Don't think of a fucking garage.
Just cancel the reservation.
Nah, we won't, no, we'll...
Where we meant to sleep around in a fucking garage?
Okay, do you think that maybe I can jump on
on my next lunch break and have maybe a little look to see it,
something like that, or...
I'll have a look, it's fine.
Okay, all right.
are you all right
yes
it is a really lovely garage
yeah
it's Dave here from the venue
oh
Shana's like
what don't worry
it's okay I've cancelled the other booker
you're on
it's Clint and Dan
and Ashland and here
from the Edge Breakfast
and it's a little segment
called here comes the bribe
we bribed your fiancée to try and wind you up for 500 bucks.
Did it work, Shana?
Well, we're not sleeping in a garage.
I believe you called me a fucking garage.
Which I mean, we're not open to that happening.
All right, well, you order a few more bottles of champagne on us.
We'll get that cash prize out to you for here comes the bribe.
And sort of sorry, not sorry, Shanae.
You have a beautiful wedding and enjoy your marriage with Jamie.
He's marrying what seems like a lovely guy.
Yeah. Thank you.
Good luck, guys.
Have fun. Bye.
It's going to be an awkward conversation tonight, I reckon, over dinner, guys.
That did not impress her much.
No.
Oh, yes.
Is that a shinai again?
Yeah, from this moment on, no more.
Pranks.
He definitely got her good.
Man, I feel like a woman.
I do, though.
To really, really.
Likely, she's still the one for him even after that.
Yeah, nice.
It's all up from here.
Okay.
Now you're doing beside stuff.
You know too many should I do like ourselves.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
We've got some sad news to deliver to our Idfano this morning.
Ash, you're right?
So a couple of months ago,
sorry.
We all met and fell in love with beautiful Michelle
and we're doing a segment about turning 40 and embracing our age.
And Michelle called in to tell us that she had finally got to a place in life
where she could embrace her age
before finding out that she had a terminal cancer diagnosis
and we all got to meet Michelle
and have lunch with her
and get to know her over the past couple of months
which was such a privilege
and I know that our edge family listening
all fell in love with her as well
and yesterday we got the horrific news
that she had passed away at home
surrounded by her family
Michelle was just 40 years old
and she leaves behind
and her husband, Tim, and this is the hard part for us as well.
A beautiful young daughter.
Yeah, we're all parents, and I think her daughter has been in our heart
since we found out just thinking about her and her family
and all the people that loved her.
We want to send out so much love and thanks and deepest condolences
to Michelle's friends and family and everyone who knew and loved her.
What a privilege for us.
who have gotten to know her.
It was.
Yeah.
A joy.
Yeah.
Michelle, we count ourselves so lucky to have been able to call you a friend,
even if for just a short time.
Yeah.
And we've put together a little bit of tribute for you and your family this morning.
I obviously am now in a position where I'm forced to, like,
rego over my will to make sure everything's sorted for my daughter and my husband and my family and all that.
And, like, you know, I have to plan my funeral.
It's hard to bring it up with me.
my friends like oh what music and yeah they just kind of don't really want to engage they're like oh don't talk
about that don't talk about that now um yeah because they i guess it isn't normal to talk about
someone's funeral or how they want to go out yeah eyes of emerald and white more precious than gold
hands are soft as the sun but harder to hold
tonight could be the last time
your heartbeat and mine
or ever this close
life can cut like a knife
that's just how it goes
I guess maybe I haven't really
let myself think about
too much um i mean i'd love to say i'm okay with it i'm at peace with it but now i yeah i
definitely will get scared i reckon um and that's when i reckon maybe a bit of an anger might come through
because yeah i'm i'm gonna be missing so much i've got a wedding anniversary in january
i don't know if i'll make that um i won't get to see my daughter be a teenager
You know, I'll miss
Such little simple things like that
So yeah, I reckon
When it comes time, I'll probably be scared to go
But till the day I die
I will dream of you
In a million lives
You're the one I choose
I love you
to my breath
you're gone but
something in the heaven
tells me then we'll be together again
I'll see you
all around the bend
You're gone, but something in the heavens tells me that we'll be together again.
I finally feel like I get to be me because I turned 40, and then I got cancer.
So then I was just like, oh, 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.
I will dream of you
So Michelle, I am going to split the $10,000 with you
and go 50-50 and give you $5,000.
Oh, no, no, no.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Oh, I've been lucky enough.
I've got amazing friends and family
and have been helping me out
and because it was terminally,
she got access to my life insurance as well.
So I'm not going to take
I've came from you when you deserve it just as much
Yeah
Oh my gosh
Oh you're so sweet, thank you
Wow
Two amazing, amazing women
It's just so wonderful
Something out of heaven
Tells me that we'll be together again
Together again
Oh
Yeah there's definitely time
where I just sit and I'll be like, man, it's like it's a beautiful night looking at all the start.
Yeah.
And I'll be, I'll be for ages just looking at that work.
Yeah, I think I do capture the small moment for me a lot more than I used to.
Puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
I think on a Friday morning.
Yeah, you know, yesterday.
I just want to tell a quick story.
I was coming to work and obviously we didn't know
that it was Michelle's last morning
and I was leaving their house
and I looked up into the sky
and I never do that and the sky was full of stars.
It was so beautiful that I took a photo of the sky
and then to hear that about Michelle
looking at the sky and having that moment
it's just like I just know that the heavens
were ready to welcome her
and I know that she's at peace and out of pain
And we just love you so much, Michelle.
She's a beautiful soul.
She is.
We will all be hugging our kids tighter today
and letting go of the dumb little things that don't matter.
So thank you for all you taught us.
We love you.
And there's so many messages coming through
from everyone sending their love to your family.
It was just a few weeks ago that we had lunch with it.
And she was just so full of life even then.
So it makes it harder to know that just in that short period of time.
Yeah.
How fragile life can be,
and it's a nice reminder to everyone else, the rest of us,
that still are here and still have a difference to make.
Yes, absolutely.
And an impact to have on other people.
Yeah.
Let's not waste a moment, hey?
No.
We love you guys.
We have been hearing your stories all this week.
And one lucky winner will score return flights
and $1,000 to be reunited with a person that, from their past,
I guess they were the right person,
but they were just the wrong time.
Happens in life, doesn't it?
In other circumstances, we could have been together.
Maybe you were in relationships at the time, both of you,
and then those relationships have ended, and now is the perfect time.
Once in a lifetime opportunity to see what could have been.
And here are some of our favourite stories of, I guess,
people that are just still pining over the one that got away.
I was at uni, I was studying, and this guy was my university sweetheart.
We were together while we were both studying in the same degree.
He was a couple years older though
And he ended up graduating
And going off to his kind of big
Corporate job
And I still had quite a few years left of my degree
So that was kind of when it all ended
But yeah we left on really good terms
And still always just think about what could have been
And I think probably at the time I was so young
But I didn't realise how I felt
And I've always wished since
that I'd said certain things
that I didn't say at the time.
Actually, that one was our favourite
and that one is our winner.
Congratulations, Katie. You've won $1,000
in a flight to go and meet
hopefully your husband.
I can't believe that. Oh my goodness.
You're very welcome. You just got one
promise to make us that you don't chicken out.
Just go spend the grand and don't go.
Guys, can I tell you something?
Yeah.
So I actually, so I was in a relationship and I thought that this is the one that was finally going to make me get over him.
You know, two weeks ago, that ended.
We were together for a year and he broke my heart two weeks ago.
So this feels like a sign that it was meant to be, I've got to go over and I've got to tell my long-lost love.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, I said so, promise me you'll keep us up to date, give us an update.
Oh, well, you guys are going to meet the wedding, so I have to.
Yeah.
Oh, I can't wait.
I'm so excited.
I love weddings.
And so what are you going to, are you going to, like, let them know you're coming,
or you're going to surprise them?
Oh, I think, I don't know, I have to plan this out, but, I mean, we've kept on such
good terms, I'm sure, just like a little cheeky meet up and can always put it as the whole,
oh you know I'm just I'm in town
I'd love you to show me the good spots
and then kind of yeah
tell them what I need to say
and then once you fall back in love when you're together
you can after like a month or so
you can admit the truth which is you went
I'm live on a national radio show
to profess your love to him to millions of strangers
yeah great we love it right
he'll get a ring on it straight away I'd say
come on flip your phone into record
we want to hear the first meet
of the seven years
a worthy winner Katie
we're going to send a camera crew with you
so you can film the whole thing
Are you holding there, Katie?
Starting out of the 10-B show, it's a second break.
Well, make sure you got your passport up to date.
We'll get your flights sorted and then we'll chuck a thousand bucks in your account for some spending money.
All the best, hopefully, getting to reunite with your forever person.
Oh, thank you so much, guys.
Good luck.
Now, the film is called Regretting You.
It's based on the novel by Colin Hoover, a very famous romance author.
I got to watch the film and interview some of the stars recently.
This is, I was chatting with McKenna Grace and Mason,
Fames, who are the two leads, and I asked about regret in love, and McKenna had some very
sage advice.
Regretting you, do you believe that you're allowed to have regret in love, or do you just
have to, like, own it all?
Ooh.
I mean, to each their own, I think that you're allowed to have, of course, you're allowed to
have anything.
You're allowed to have regret.
In my eyes, I think, going with the theme of the movie, the whole thing is, like, you
like, don't regret anything.
Because everything made me who I am.
But I think that.
that it's okay to regret
things as long as we learn from them.
I think it's more about learning from the
things that we regret and
also trying to accept that things we've done
make us who we are and that's something
to be proud of
or at least be content or happy
with. It's in cinema's next Thursday
so you get amongst it regretting you.
It looks like a hell of a film and we appreciate you guys
giving us a flight and some cash to give away.
So cool. Imagine that. Just a movie release
like actually having that
sort of flow on effect to change
Katie's life.
No, we're about it. That's our
movie from an hour on. It's the film we brought us
together. Yes. This could be the start of the rest
of Katie's life. I know. I can't wait to hear.
All she'll get there and she was like, I actually got ugly
and, you know. Yeah. And he's like I'm with
someone else. Yeah.
Oh, he bet. She'd better not get there and he's got a boyfriend.
Oh, boy. Boyfriend. That would be
a turn for the books.
Clip me and Dan.
Last chance today. Very last chance
to play
online game, easy money.
yourself in the draw for the easy money live event
next Wednesday where someone will win
$10,000. Yeah, we're just going to keep playing
until someone wins, right? In studio
we're not going to be in the easy money pit.
Someone's digging a pit this weekend.
These Adjabo kids, then they're being
hardcore 24 hours. We might go longer.
Yeah. It might be six hours.
48 hours.
So here's the thing. Play the online game.
You can still be playing it next week and next
month, all the rest of it. But if you
play it today, before 10,
then you have a chance for your name being read
out at 10 a.m. You call them back?
You're in next week. It's your last chance.
Yeah, and then the last
reading of names will be midday. So 10 o'clock
and midday. So when's the last chance?
Well, the last, last chance is 12.
I don't know how we could explain it better to you,
Ash. You seem very confused.
Yeah, so just
while you're at work, sneak away, just get
a couple of games in and then listen out for
your name. And then, yeah, Wednesday,
you'll be here with a handful of other
edge listeners from around the country. And we'll just
have you playing live in front of us.
We've got a stage built and everything.
It's going to be like the voice.
Except we're going to face you the whole time.
We're not going to like turn around, you know.
My dream is that we get there on the day,
and there's only one set up for, and it's just for Clint,
and he's got like a suit on and a spray tan and like Botox,
and he's using it as he's like big.
He's like Bradley Walsh from the chase.
We should spray tan actually before Wednesday, Dan, and tuxitos.
I'm just going to look pasty.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, something's lirty.
Yeah.
So Ash is going to look slutty.
It's going to look like another ethnicity.
And I'll just look like myself.
Okay, great.
It's going to be a hell of a show next Wednesday.
Looking forward to giving away 10 grand.
We want you to be there.
So get amongst the online game on Rover.
Easy, money.
Best of luck.
And we will give you a chance to play for our grand in the hand next.
Also, after 8 o'clock in about five past,
John is joining us in the truth booth.
I'm not carried guilt.
It isn't right what I did.
And it scared the hell out of me.
Has the statute of limitations passed now
or if you went to the police
and you told them the secret,
they'd be like, ah, well, you're fine.
Yes, I actually spoke to a lawyer about this
before we did this radio spot.
Right after 8 o'clock,
what is the truth bomb?
John has been sitting on for 40 years.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, oh my gosh.
The Edge, 1K-E-Z money.
Practice makes perfect,
and now you can play anytime online.
Three-bast eight on your Friday.
Here we go, 30 seconds.
to give us 10 answers, starting with the letter,
Ash gives you no repeated answers,
but you can pass, and if we've got time, we will come back.
She lives just down the road from me,
and old Birkenhead.
Vicki, good morning.
Good morning.
All right.
And now, you ready to be $1,000 rich of my sweetheart?
I hope so.
Okay, well, today your letter is L.
L for what, Daniel?
Use the word you used off.
Lose.
Use the word you used off here.
I said another word that cannot be shared,
and don't make me do it.
What's on where they can be she's starting with Elle?
I can say, I'll give you hit, I've got one, and Dan doesn't.
Oh, yeah.
You don't know what I've got on.
I might have one.
Anyway, Vicky, my darling, have you done the rules and everything?
Yeah, okay.
Beginning with Elle, can I please have a boy's name?
Luke.
An animal.
Lama.
A star sign.
Leo.
Something you drink.
Line red.
A TV series.
A pop.
Something sweet.
Lolly
A famous sports player
A body of water
A lake
A make-up brand
A three-letter word
A Liz
A TV series
So we had time to go back to your past answers
But you got eight and past two
Unfortunately
A TV series could have been
Love Island lost law and order
and a famous sports player.
There are lots Lewis Hamilton, LeBron, James, Lance.
That was good, though, Vicki.
And I'll say, I've said it before and I'll say it again.
If you pass more than once, I think you're done.
But, yeah, that was very quick.
Like, your answers at the start.
I also love the fact that somebody's a drink you went with Lion Red.
Get it, girl.
I know.
I was just thinking off the cat.
It's a lot about how you might party this weekend, I think.
Thank you.
We love you, Vicki.
Thank you so much for listening to Ed Bricky.
I said, thank you.
All right, babe.
See you.
Back again this afternoon.
Eajabo's at three
or they'd be doing
easy money with their 24-hour interview?
I'm sure that they won't have the energy
to be doing it by then.
I think they finish at 5
so they're going to have to do some of their show, right?
Of course, Steph, she's going to be like,
a voice name.
A voice name.
Yeah, you can check it out actually
at the edge.orga.orgia.
They're going to live stream up
as they're going through their
barocco 24-hour interview.
They started 5 o'clock last night
and have not slept.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
The Truth Booth.
With Clint Megand Dan and Ash London.
We have an international truthbirth this morning.
John joins us.
Thank you for being on the show, John.
Oh, thank you for having.
Okay, so I'm just saying John is a fake name to keep his anonymity.
Anonymity.
Anonymity.
Where are you calling us from in the world today, John?
I'm in New England, America.
Okay, now I sense an accident.
You didn't like leave the country and move to America
because I heard you've done something naughty.
No, I never left.
I'm exactly where I was the whole time
Okay
It's an interesting truth Bruce
Because a lot of the time
It's relationship based
And it's something they haven't told their partner
But yours is very different
Yes
So you've done something
Who does know the truth
About what you've done
As far as your friends, family
People you see every day
Only my wife
Okay
What?
We're the second, third and fourth people
To hear the secret
That's wild
Okay
Give us a little
Give us a teaser
So what is the secret before you drop the full bomb that you've been sitting on for a number of years?
Okay, almost 40 years ago, when I was 16, I went on a weekend-long crime spree that turns out to be a felony, but I was never caught.
Wow.
A weekend.
Now, when you...
A felony is, I think, in New Zealand, a lot of people don't know what that means, but that means basically breaking the law, doesn't it?
It's something that's against the law.
Did you know at the time that you were breaking the law?
I knew I was breaking a law.
A felony is a serious crime.
A misdemeanor is a small crime.
So say I shoplifted a candy bar, that's a misdemeanor.
Okay.
If I steal a car, that's a felony.
Okay, so you've done something highly illegal over a weekend.
And how long ago was this?
Almost 40 years.
Do you carry any guilt about it?
Or is it one of those crimes that's like, yeah, I could go to jail, but no one really got hurt?
I'm not carried guilt.
It isn't right what I did.
And it scared the hell out of me,
but I don't carry any guilt.
I just don't tell people about it because it just makes me look bad.
Has the statute of limitations passed now
where if you went to the police and you told them the secret,
they'd be like, well, you're fine.
Yes, I actually spoke to a lawyer about this before we did this radio spot.
Wow.
Yeah, the statute of limitations has expired.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, I can't be in a weird way, a horrible way.
I cannot wait to hear exactly what he did.
Is it just you, or is it you and others involved
and you share the responsibility in the crime?
It was just me.
And when people harmed, was there anyone harmed in this crime?
No, maybe just the corporation in a non-physical way.
Okay.
I'm ready for the bomb.
I'm ready for the bomb.
John in Salem, Massachusetts.
Over 40 years ago, you went on a crimes brief
for which you have never, I've been held responsible.
What did you do?
Well, in those days, the ATM machines were new.
There were a lot of loopholes in the ATM back then,
and there was a feature called Deposit with Cash Back.
It was a check-cashing feature,
but for some reason it ran on the honor system.
So eventually this was changed because of guys like me.
So what you did was you put a check into an envelope,
and then you deposited into the ATM, and it cashed it for you,
trusting that you're giving them a real check.
Oh my God.
I can't believe that's a real thing.
They are asking for trouble.
Okay, so I guess you cheated the system.
How much did you cheat the system out of?
Cash was.
It's a great question, Dan, and an answer
we will get right after this from Sabrina Carpenter.
No, I want it now.
No, we have to play music too, buddy.
It's the edge.
The Truth Booth.
With Clint Megan Dan and Ash London.
International Truth Booth with John.
He just admitted the back.
In the day, years and years ago, used to deposit a cash check and then it would just give you the cash.
Then the bank would worry about the check later on.
He was like, I see a loophole here, which is probably why they don't do that now.
There's a lot of questions, though, because how did he not get caught out?
And has it affected his life long term.
Stealing money from a bank is always, you'd always be looking over your shoulder.
All right, so how much did you get away with in the end?
How much did you steal from the ATM job?
$10,000, which today would be about $30,000.
I mean, I applaud the downfall of any bank.
But I imagine, even though the system seems pretty dodgy,
and there are a lot of loopholes,
they didn't have cameras or anything.
You were never worried that they were going to hunt you down or find you.
They knew exactly who I was.
When I realized this loophole existed,
I opened bank accounts at five different banks on the same day.
And in those days, a miner could open a bank account,
and all you needed was $20.
I took 100 boxes in a week or so.
they mailed you your ATM card
and then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
I put the limit on each card
knowing that by Monday or Tuesday
they would check the machines
and realize that all the envelopes I put in
that are supposed to have checks in them
were all empty.
Oh my God of the smartest criminals a whole time.
So I was able to get $400 a day per card.
Yeah, but then, okay, why only five bank accounts?
Why not get 10?
Oh, come on. He's a minor. He didn't have a car.
Because what were you spending the money on, John?
The reason only five is because I had to walk or bike to the event.
I was 16 years old.
Yeah.
You know, so any other bank would have been too far away.
If I'm being real frank with you, I spent it on beer, marijuana, and girl.
Classic.
There's another felony right there.
Every man listening's going, yeah, my boy.
Las, lads, lads, lads.
Wait, so you said they knew who you were because all of a sudden your bank details are your first and last real name.
So how were there no repercussions?
I don't know.
They did call and say that I put in an empty envelope.
I said, no, I didn't, and that was the end of it.
And they all did that.
See, if they knew about each other, I think that they could prove it.
But I also did it five times at each bank, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I did.
So they could prove it.
Did you stop because they wised up to it and it was no longer possible, or did your conscience stop you doing it?
It wasn't my conscience.
I'm not a psychopath.
I do have a conscience.
But I stopped because they froze my account.
Right.
Okay, so it was no longer possible, really.
Wow.
And so, but when do you be worried?
Like, when did you stop worrying at what age
that they were going to come for you
and want this $10,000 back?
About two or three weeks after I got the phone calls,
I started thinking about it.
And I said, every time the phone rang
or every time someone knocked on the door,
I had an anxiety attack.
Yeah.
Because today was the day that I was going to jail.
My mother didn't answer the phone for four years.
I would run to answer that phone.
When you found out that the statute of limitations had expired, even though it was so many years later,
was there a sense of relief, finally?
Yes, because, well, the one thing, while I was not arrested and I did not face legal repercussions,
I was placed on a do not bank list in the United States.
And I was unable to open a bank account until I was in my 40.
Wow.
Oh, my gosh.
So how did you get paid through your 20s and 30s when your boss wants to put money in a bank account?
What did you do?
So we have check-cashing places like in the lower-income neighborhoods.
And the problem with those is that they charge you an exorbitant amount of money to cast the check.
So I think it's 10% they take.
Probably wasn't worth it then in the long run then.
When you're working it out, you've lost more than you made.
Yeah, I couldn't bank.
I couldn't buy a car.
I couldn't get a credit card until my 40s.
Wow, John, what a crazy-ass story.
Thank you so much for sharing that with us.
That is insane.
That's so cool.
Well, not cool, but you know what I mean.
Crime is not cool.
The story is cool, though.
But I mean, to be fair, John, I don't hate you for it.
You're a 16-year-old that saw a massive loophole
because banks were doing one of those things they do in New Zealand
where they just have fruit and veggies on the side of the road
and hope you pay for them when you take them.
I can't believe they're running an ATM system like that.
Right, and if you think about it, I couldn't have been the only one doing it.
Sure.
I think it probably was they looked at it like, oh, we created this loophole.
We have to steal this loophole and stop this from happening.
John, thank you so much
I don't know what got into me
it's not my nature
I don't know what got into me
I just thought I had a bright idea
but you just have to say that for legal purposes
don't you? That's what your lawyers told you to say
Hey look you haven't banged up
somebody else while you're married and you've got a secret
family on the other side of the world mate
so uh no home no foul
no that was my grandfather
all right
thank you John
appreciate your time so much
can we get your grandfather's number we'll get him on next
We can do that
It's a good one
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast
Joining us is
Steph who has
been broadcasting
for the last 15 and a half hours
straight and has been awake
for the last 26 hours straight
and counting
Oh that one no good
There you go
No no that one
Oh it is on
Oh hey
Hey buddy
Hi
Yes guys
Oh my god
Oh my gosh
It's hard
He still look good
I mean that's all it matters
Poor I just went to the bathroom
And I had
That's very very nice of you Ash
Because I've just seen my
I think you've looked better.
Yeah, I've looked better, Dan.
I've looked better.
I've looked way better.
And Ash knows that.
Asch is doing you a disservice saying you look good.
This is it, you at your best?
Yeah.
No, it's not.
No, Ash knows that.
No, it's not.
But you know what?
Yeah, we've been awake a long time.
We've been interviewing people nonstop.
The goal is 24 hours.
We've got nine and a half, eight and a half hours to go.
That's so many hours to go.
It's been fun though.
It's been so, we've interviewed like the coolest people,
Dawn French, the Vicar of Dibley.
Which are your favorite interview?
because I saw a little bit of a snippet of her.
She'd looked lovely.
She was so positive, so joyful, so normal.
She was awesome.
A lot of the stars from Love on the Spectrum,
they've been incredible.
Tanner was just...
He's so cute.
And he was just everything he wanted him to be.
Like, he was just perfect.
When was the hardest moment?
Because I remember when we did it a few years ago
with John O'Bett and Sharon.
I think it was like the 1 a.m. kind of to 4 a.m.
Where it was like you were in the middle of the night.
There's a couple of the crappier interviews there,
where they should, you know, the internationals.
Well, no, the internationals have been during the night
because of the time difference.
So I think I kind of, about three, four o'clock for me,
I was just like, I hit a wall and I just like had a little lie down on the couch.
You know what's good for that, though?
Barocca.
Barocca, I know.
Come on to the party.
Give you back a BB Bells.
We played Barocca Pong out in the courtyard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've done some Zumba.
In fact, we did Zumba straight after interviewing a chef who cooked us a pasta breakfast.
I saw it with the cheese wheel
I wanted to come and get some
but I thought I don't deserve it
Yeah no of course you deserve it
Everyone deserves past oh my god
So no it's been a very incredible
Day and then night
And then morning
And then day again will be great
And then night time again
What's been the awoke of this interview
Where you're like I got nothing to say
And there's eight minutes to go and I'm tired
Surprisingly there's like always something to ask someone about
Everyone's interesting you know
If you're like really pry
If you're good at your job
And then we've just done
it asking, like, what three items would you take to a desert?
No, not desert island, a dessert island, just to mix it up.
A dessert island.
So, you know, if you do struggle, this way, it's to, like, come up with something.
Last question, and be honest, okay?
Who's annoying you more, Sean or Harrison?
Literally, neither of them.
Oh, but if you had to kick one off the island to the desert island.
If you don't answer, Dan dies.
I'll kill him right now.
Right in the jugular.
Come on, Steph, save me.
I would rather have a happy room that I'm about to go into,
and I'd rather tend to be.
Oh, Sean's annoying you more.
Interesting.
I'm going to let him know.
Well, if you get to 5 o'clock and you will have been up 35 hours straight personally, Steph.
So it's a Blady Good Innings.
Yeah, it's a long haul flight and then some.
Tell your young son, if he could give mum a bit of a sleep on Saturday, that'd be delightful.
Yeah, the rock man needs to be good to me tonight.
He needs to be good.
He was on.
We interviewed him.
didn't say much.
No.
Yeah, did you do that?
Man, a few words.
Okay, well you can tune her in the edge.rover.
Dot nz to the live stream and all the craziness
and I imagine it'll get more manic in the lead up to 5 o'clock
when you guys start hitting that 24 hour mark.
Oh, thanks to Brocka.
Thank you, Steph.
Thanks, guys.
Are we getting the DJ Sean Hill Friday Megamix?
God, it's going to be all over the show.
He'd been out on it just because he's been awake for 24 hours.
Yeah, that's a good flag.
He's so lazy.
I expect him in here in an hour.
Thank you.
Hey, next on the show, guys.
we try to have as much fun as possible
and lighten your day.
And somebody who has told us
that this show was a real light
in her life, was Michelle.
Oh, you're right, Ash?
I just fell over, I apologise.
You're all good.
I fell over a bottle of alcohol.
Yeah, exactly.
It actually is about a bottle of alcohol.
And you know what?
It's what Michelle would have wanted.
Yeah, exactly.
Not every day you trip over a full bottle of tequila.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
New music, Friday.
Brand new.
All right, New Music Friday, what is dropping?
And then it's just dropped today.
Okay, first up, we have got one of my favorite artist, Sam Fender.
Oh, I love Sam.
I love him.
He's teamed up with Elton John.
Elton?
I mean, he loves just to g people up and drop into DMs A.
And then they must go, oh, we should do a song together.
And he's like, yeah, I'm not doing anything.
Yeah, he's a good man.
He's all across new music, too.
He knows so much about artists that are coming through.
So this one just dropped from those guys
And I can't remember what it's called
Talk to you, Sam Fender and Elton John
You just want to talk to you
Want to talk with my best friend
Why do we go in everything that I could
What is so sweet?
Beautiful driving music
You guys all remember we had
Rural young Australian artists on the show
A couple months ago we stitched
Paul Lillip
who's a big rural mega fan.
This one is a new one from him.
It's called Not What's Going On.
Not What's Going On?
Oh gosh, I can't see my screen.
Just play the thing.
We'll listen.
I've got wild guess.
I'm not having a wild guess.
I've got that it's called Wild Guise.
This is the one?
Yeah.
Oh, that's nice.
That's not the song I meant, but that's also a nice song to rule.
He's got a couple of tunes out today.
Yeah, he's obviously, he's put them all out.
Thanks, for all.
And finally, Ritemental have got a new one.
I love Ritemental.
And, you know, they used to be all over the radio, like, all the time.
Mm, they had a lot of bangers.
Yeah.
Anyway, they're back.
I just called you because I want to say, thank you, thank you.
I'm telling you, we're about to have a big influx of these neo-soul female singers.
And there isn't a whole lot of new music in comparison to what normally drops on a
Friday.
You think everyone's still scared about the Taylor Swift album?
It's like, guys, that was two weeks ago.
Give it a month. Give it a month.
Yeah, I'd be doing that if I was in an artist.
Ritemental.
Oh, as we said, go the same day, but it's a different fan base.
Maybe you've done like, you know, it's a bit of a crap album you've just made.
Put that out on the same week.
You'd be like that.
Just put it under the radar.
Like, if you've got a 10-album deal that you want to get out of and you hate your music label.
Just to release your crappers during Taylor Swift's time.
There we go.
There we go.
New musical, thanks to Zed.
