This is a podcast from Rover.
If this podcast was a person, it would be banned from family gatherings.
Oh, piss off, Uncle John.
This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Take the edge off your mornings with Clint Megan Dan.
It's breakfast.
Good morning, bang on 6 o'clock Tuesday.
Thank you, Glenn, for the news update.
Although, saw him slipping in his opinion there.
Oh, news readers aren't allowed to offer opinion.
Did you hear him he goes?
Yeah, and unfortunately, no more Commonwealth games.
That's a bit sting.
And then carried on with this news report.
I don't think he used the word stink.
Did you say stink?
I didn't hear stink?
No, you said that's a bit of a shame, I think.
Yeah, I think that's what you did.
But I'm like, mate, you just report the facts?
Yeah, yeah.
You don't see Wendy Petrie on the news, TV and Z news going,
ah, not much news today, a bit of a shame.
Well, that's why we couldn't be news reporters, I think,
because we would be itching to say our opinion.
The whole, half of the bulletin would be what I thought about everything I was to say.
Brian Tomickey, do we need him?
Yeah.
He was having a massive rant online last night, wasn't he?
He was that about, I just, I just signed off.
He was doing some countdown until 7pm and sounds like some threat to somebody,
but I couldn't really decipher it.
But then he was in the spiritual world apparently he was doing that.
Yeah, I said that.
I know somebody who likes spirits, Clint, vodka.
You know, you can go and tackle him in that world.
Maybe it was in like the multiverse.
He was doing it in the marble multiverse.
Yeah, very weird.
Yeah, I still don't really understand that even.
Yeah, no, it's a bit above your sort of brain.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
About bars too then, Dan.
You just stick to your vodka, Clint.
Those are your spirits.
Actually, only like vodka if I mix it with Carloa and coffee.
Like in an espresso.
Where was it actually a time?
It's like a coffee.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
First call of the day.
First call of the day.
But I've said one, guys, we've got a text from a listener saying,
see you guys, I'm out of here.
I'm done.
I'm not going to be able to listen to you anymore.
And normally we don't, we just say to people,
If you want to say goodbye, just leave.
You know, you don't need to give us the goodbye.
Don't let us know we've lost another one.
Morning, Tarns.
Good morning, but I'll be back.
I'll be back.
Oh, so it's not something that someone said that's offended you.
Like Meg, you know, she can say some stuff, can't she?
No, absolutely not.
I'll be listening to you guys alive again in six weeks.
Six weeks.
Are you going away?
So I can see here you're going away on a holiday.
So you're going to Dubai to stay with Fano.
Then you're going to Yorkshire, Scotland, Ireland, Ireland and Singapore.
What a trip.
I know, so exciting.
How long does it take to put together an itinerary and get all your ducks in a row for something like that?
I started talking to my friend in Yorkshire about nine months ago we started sort of planning it.
You know, we were going to stay, we were going to go, hotels, yeah, all that sort of stuff.
And then, of course, staying with my family in Dubai, my sister and her kids and my brother-in-law, which is very exciting.
When do you head to the airport?
I will be picked up in an hour and a half.
Is you going today?
Oh, so exciting.
Tanya, send us some photos.
We want to live vicariously through you.
Yeah, please do.
Who's looking after your two cats, 19 chickens and four alpacres?
I luckily co-owned was my son, daughter and grandkids,
so they live next door.
Yeah.
We own the property together.
Oh, my gosh, you've a dream.
They'll be looking after all the buds.
life to be like living next door to your kids and then being able to go and stay in Dubai with your sister and a friend in Scotland.
You've done it right.
Yeah, we all want to be tired.
Yes, I'm very, very, very lucky.
And in the beautiful Karanaki.
Oh, stunning.
Beautiful.
Okay, well, stop making us jealous.
And do promise, do you promise, like, while you're away, you're not going to stumble across another podcast and then decide, like, you know, new tans when you get back and you're going to try something different, you're going to come back to us.
Oh, absolutely. I've been listening since JJ, Mark and Dom.
Holy?
Way, way back.
I'm not going anywhere.
All right, Tanya.
Well, we do a podcast as well if you've ever missed us.
Yeah, true.
Yeah.
Have the best time.
Yep, I've got that on my phone.
Nice.
Thank you guys.
You smash a cocktail or two for me, all right?
Have some Yorkshire puddings for me.
Oh, that's good.
And what's you're going to do for you?
Drop it low.
Drop it low.
I'd say she could do that when she's an Isle of Man.
There's some good clubs there, I've heard.
Are there?
I don't know.
If you are...
Don't do it in Dubai.
If you are looking to do a tans and be jumping on a plane soon and getting the hell out of here.
Catch up with a free end?
Yeah, we're going to tell you how you can do that.
Before 7 o'clock, we've got a bit of an update on Long Distance Bestie Island, which is very exciting.
But also next, Dan's got an idea that could win you $500.
I'm unsure whether he's approved that money with the boss yet.
Oh, absolutely not.
But what I will tell you.
is I'm going to do it anyway.
Clint Megan Dan.
Let's go!
Clint Megan Dan's scandal.
Robert Patterson's wife, Suki Waterhouse,
has admitted that she has never seen Twilight.
I've never seen it.
I haven't.
You actually haven't?
No.
I will one day, but obviously I'm team...
Edward.
I was like, wait, I was like, too, I can't get that one.
She forget her husband's character name?
Yeah, she doesn't do.
I'm team.
Wait, she's never seen it.
No, I would believe that.
Oh, whatever.
If she's married to Robert Pattinson,
She's seen it.
I think she probably married her because she hadn't seen it.
He hates that movie.
No, I reckon she's trying to be cool.
No, but Dan, does your wife listen to the show?
Oh, yeah, she's probably right.
Yeah, we go.
And Andrew Garfield is at the stage that Clint is desperate to be in.
He's got a head of long locks, and he was asked if he's planning on keeping the long hair.
Because you've got to get through that halfway stage.
You know what?
I got through the awkward stage, and now I'm like, I've earned this.
I'm going to enjoy it for as long as I can have.
handle it.
I thought that was the most clint thing.
Good.
Like, it's all that halfway said,
where you just wear hats and beanie for like nine months?
You're lucky when you grow out your hair,
it goes down.
Mine just goes up like an afro.
Does it really?
Yeah, it does.
I look like Don King.
It goes up and up and up and up.
Yeah, it just goes up, up, up, up, up.
I ruined my long hair because I used to perm it
because I didn't want straight long hair,
so I wanted a bit of a wave through it.
And then I decided I wanted to be blonde.
And my wife said, you know, bleach,
permed hair, it'll fall out.
I didn't listen to her.
She was right.
Look at that.
Actually just started like pulling clumps of hair out.
Yikes.
Like it wasn't attached to my hair.
And yet it grew back.
It always comes up Clint,
isn't it?
Clint, Megan, Dan.
StinkyB.
How you can score 500 bucks cash.
Yeah.
And it's an idea that I've been touring around
in my little brain for a while.
And it's based on
if you could fool us with a lie.
Good, Clint.
We hadn't even practiced that.
He pulled it in perfectly.
That's the mark of a great button pusher.
So you think we're good at sniffing a lie?
Or you think people good?
Well, I think we are better than we think.
And I'm talking about we as in the human race.
Oh, right.
Hunting out a lie.
But what if it was mixed in with two truths?
So here's my idea.
So it's two truths than a lie?
Well, essentially, but there's a little bit of a difference.
Okay.
So each week we have three callers on.
Three of them are telling a story.
Okay.
we just don't know which one of them is lying.
Okay, so day one, we have one caller.
They tell us the story.
Maybe it's Meg Mansel.
She comes on, she says, one time I dropped it low and pulled a hip out or something.
Okay, we go brilliant story.
We asked some questions.
How many questions do we get each?
I reckon it's question each.
Okay, three questions.
Then we move on to the second day.
Another caller.
They tell us the story.
We pin holes in the thing again.
Three questions.
Three questions.
Third day, another story. Then by day four.
Thursday.
nation you listening have to
figure out who was telling
the lie. And so ideally the true
stories are like epic where you go
that's almost too good to be true
or too far-fetched to be true but some
incredible things do happen to people. And so if you're
listening right now and you're going
I could lie to you guys and
fool you. This is the
segment for you. Yeah or you've had I guess something
do you want to have a truth
story? No we're just looking for liars.
Well you know you could have we need
truths and lies but you could
You could enter this and fool us.
But do you only win the money if you lie?
Yes, essentially.
Do you know who wouldn't be any good at this?
That lead singer of Imagine Dragons.
You guys practice that one?
No, see, this is all off the cuff bag.
Yeah, and that's just how...
He's trying to colour up his bit.
At least he admitted it.
Or is that a cover to his wife?
Because maybe he is a really good liar.
He's like, I'll release his song to throw her off the scent and say I'm a bad liar.
Then she'll never know that I'm cheating on her.
True.
Yeah, so Carl, I think there is a way that people can enter this, isn't there, Carl?
And how do they do it?
Oh, sorry, yeah, there is.
So we've actually got a form online where you can go and enter your details.
But if you go on to our Instagram story right now, then the link will be there.
Yeah, okay, great.
So head to our Insta, click the link, and just fill out some details.
That's all you need to do, and we'll go from there.
And then I think next week we'll get three stories on.
And then as a nation, we can become detectives.
sniff out the liar.
But just go?
Sorry, give me one minute and then text
lie to 3-3-4-3.
I'll set up a test back down.
There's hardaways doing 500 bucks.
Yeah, 500 bucks.
Have you ever done any concrete contracting?
That's one of them.
Tax-free.
Yeah, it is tax-free.
You won't tax you.
It's like living in Switzerland or Monaco.
Yeah.
Do they none to pay tax?
No, because they're so rich.
That's why all the rich people live there
because they're like, I'm not paying tax on my money.
So they moved to Monaco.
Huh?
Yeah.
Couldn't we take a tire line?
and do like a broadcast
a show from there?
Clint, you are rich, but not as rich to live in Monaco.
You can't even step foot in Monaco.
What if we combine and pulled all of our money together?
Still couldn't last half an hour.
Especially Meg, she's not moving the needle anyway.
She drives a vitz, Clint.
Norty, 640 next.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Time to get naughty at 640.
Oh, look at that, it's Clint.
You don't know if.
you're doing it right or wrong when it comes to parenting all the time until you've done it wrong
and then years later you look back and you go we drop the ball there but I think shouldn't have done that
and it's too late yeah and I'm worried that I've done this now with R-rated movies oh dear
not like RRRR rated you're like oh so you haven't been showing your kids shaving Ryan's
privates no I haven't even seen that goodwill humping shaving Ryan's privates damn and
Throbbing Indiana Jones and the temple of Poon
Yes, that's a good one.
Yeah, we've all seen that.
Titty slickers?
No.
No, my son is nine, my daughter's just turned 11.
And I mentioned this earlier this morning.
We all watched people we meet on vacation, which is R13.
And typically my wife and I, we see R13, we go, yeah.
Because that's before M, right?
Yeah.
It's not as bad as Forrest Hump.
Put it that way.
Although when I look at R13, it says sexual content, drug use, nudity, and brief, strong language.
Let me check what's better mature
R-13.
Because then we see an M for mature audiences
and we go, oh, the drug-use stuff goes over the head.
They don't really know.
And when there's any sort of kissing or passion,
annoyingly, I'll skip.
I know I have to skip, or my wife will skip,
and so we skip through it.
We miss all the good bit, the good kissing bits.
So R-13 is legally restricted.
It's against the law to supply sell
or show the film to anyone 13 or under illegal Clint.
Mature is unrestricted.
It's just recommended for mature adult 16 years and over,
but anyone can watch it legally.
So that's actually the better one to show you a kid.
Oh really, even though it is.
But Art 13, legally, you're in trouble.
And then the one I know I went too far with,
and I wonder if a movie comes to mind
when you think back to when you were young
and you watch something that you were too young for at the time
and you've just never forgotten it.
I thought this horror movie, horror thriller,
whatever you want to call it,
was a bit more on the funny comedy side.
Final Destination, Bloodlines?
Oh, that's a really gory movie.
It says R-rated for Strait.
violent, grisly accidents
and language.
But it's almost like they, you know
they're going to die and death's out to get them,
but there's no monster as such that's going to give
kids nightmares. It's just, you know,
there's just quirky ways that people die in.
A lot of times they're quite funny.
I think would scare you because you'd sit there and go, well, what if
death thinks it's my time? What if I trip over
and there'll all my lands on my face? Yeah, that's actually
quite a graphic film. We only got
halfway through it, and then my wife saw
that I was letting me and my
nine-year-old watch it together and she made us turn it
and I got in trouble.
Well, they can sky.
I remember I went to a sleepover, a 10-year-old sleepover,
and they put on the Blair Witch Project for a bunch of 10-year-old girls.
And then the mum, I still don't know.
Even as an adult, you know when you look back, you're like,
oh, I get it now.
But as an adult, I still don't get it.
The mum, while we were watching it, went outside,
put on a mask and started wrapping on the windows.
Great, mum.
I love that.
10-year-old girls.
10-year-old.
The adults of the other kids, the parents, were furious at her the next.
next day and it was a big thing in the community
Yeah I totally get that like showing stuff
that I mean I'm a little
stuff about showing my own kids but then also
it's hard to set a precedent now because they'll be like
what we're seeing like Cam watch
his friends my daughter and some of the
adult themes and the later seasons of friends
are a little bit ugh and I'm like
I guess it's an opportunity for conversation
that's what I'll try and use
these shows for but
I mean I was watching worse stuff at their age
Edward penis hands
bear back mountain
I think brokeback's kind of bad enough
And you're watching
No, it was just slow for me
Dan, you know, it was good stuff
There's only one scene
Clint, Megan Dan
Long Distance Bestie Island
Fiji
Do you want to come along to Fiji
With your long distance Bestie
Because we are so
excited that we have
Had some extended seats available
Now that you can get
Yeah, only five packages
are still available
For you and your bestie to secure
only a $500 deposit required per person
We'll sort out your spot
So we were saying that you could join the wait list
And those people have now been told
You're sitting on the wait list
There are five packages left off
They scooped them up, it's done
But if you thought you missed out
You may still be able to get your boarding pass
And get out of here
And mid-late October
Be joining us in sunny Fiji
And catching up with your bestie
For the first time in forever
And sometimes you know
There's an excuse
You know there's excuses you come up
As to why you can't do
These sort of things
that are good for the soul.
You know, that are things that you live,
you need to live your life, people.
You need to do things that are good for you,
and it's easy to make, I guess, excuses,
and that is why I've written a very inspirational speech.
Great, to gee you up together.
You know, maybe you're sitting on the fence right now.
It's right up your bot.
You know, oh, I should spend the money elsewhere.
Yeah, exactly.
And then the other part of your brain's going,
oh, but you know what, live a little.
It's what life is for living.
Hit the jams, Clinton.
Every great memory
Every great adventure
Every story worth telling
Started with someone saying
Why not?
Imagine if Sir Edmund Hillary had looked at Everest
And thought nah too hard
We wouldn't have a Kiwi on top of the world
Or have him on the $5 note
Might not even have a $5 dollar
Sure, Clint
Imagine if the Wright brothers had said people don't fly
Or if Neil Armstrong had thought
The couch is pretty comfortable.
The best moments in life happen on the other side of yes.
Because years from now, no one's going to be talking about the week they stayed home catching up on emails.
They'll be talking about the trip they took.
The trip they took to Fiji with their best friend.
The trip they took to long distance.
Bestie Island
Thank you
Aaron just said it's just me
or his hook come back
Sorry it was a bit hookish
You start to talk about the sea
In the ocean you get confused
Yes yes yes yes yes
My whole outlook on life changed when I
I want to say read the book
But I didn't I just listen to the author on a podcast
Still counts
Yeah called Dying with Zero
And not only is he talk about trying to die
With Zero dollars in your bank
Which means you lived your life to the absolute fullest
But it talks about
memory dividends.
And what Dan has just described there
is it's not just an investment
financially.
There's investment into your friendship
and those memories that you look back on
that no one can never take away from you.
But also we don't want you to cripple yourself financially.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
That would be bad right conscience.
So have you got the money?
Or maybe, you know what?
Even if you don't.
And you know you can find it.
Yeah, you can find it after you get back.
Yeah.
Honestly, you can text Bestie, right, to 3343
and you can go on there,
register. All you need to do is Mick said before, pay
500 bucks for you and your best
you so $1,000 total
and it locks you in.
2-9 is the total cost and it's your flights
or accommodation and your food. Your drinks
as well, which normally is the one that
they get you with. But now it's all included, your
transfers and stuff. So
if you want to join us in October
in sunny Fiji and get out of this bloody
freezing winter. Because at the end of the year
you won't want to be
talking about what you didn't do.
Oh, that's hot. Yeah. It's what you
did do that makes the difference.
Sorry, my inspirational bed ran out.
Oh, right. Sorry about that.
Your favourite game on the edge?
Just hits.
Easy money.
Here we go, if you can give us 10 answers, inside 30 seconds,
starting with the letter that we give to you.
We'll give you a thousand bucks.
No repeated answers.
Rebecca scored 50 bucks yesterday with easier money with Cal,
who does the show after us,
and she shows your letter four this morning.
I'm going to go where K,
because I like that you can use, like, knee
and then you can use like
Kellogg's or whatever, you know?
There's different things.
Hopefully make it easier for them.
Kay sounds in the old silent K,
where you get the N sound.
I think we had Kay recently, didn't we?
And the person that did it did fairly well.
So maybe we can repeat that this morning.
All right, we're going with Pony this morning.
Hey.
Pony.
Pony.
Kiyoda, kiyoda.
How'd you get the name Pony?
Long story short.
I'm like a horse, but smaller.
Okay, yep.
We don't need to know more.
Well, then wouldn't it just not be anything?
If it's like a horse, but...
I think it's still bigger than a human.
Anyway.
All right, we're going with the letter K.
As you heard, Pony, you're ready?
I'm ready.
Here we go.
Good luck.
Give me an animal.
Gangaroo.
Something you wear.
Knickers.
A water sport.
A language.
A union.
A chocolate.
Something in the house.
Knife.
A drink.
Kermine?
Bath.
Ketamint.
Boney's had an absolute shocker.
You asked him what he wore, and he said, Nick is.
So good for you, bro.
You do not.
Ketamine.
You drink ketamine.
Kids, we do not.
Kulchia, Kalua.
Yeah.
Just I would, I just never drink ketamine.
And also Kenyan's not a language.
But apart of that, I don't want to nitpick anymore.
Oh, Elliot, you know, you go down as one of the famous ones.
One of the ones we go,
Remember we had Elliot on, Pony?
Remember him?
God, he was fun.
You still laughing in the background.
Thanks, Tony.
Clint McG and Dan.
What made the cheating worse?
Because cheating's bad, but there are just some instances
where you go, oh, on top of it all?
I mean, like I've always said,
if you can get away with it.
You've never said that.
I'm joking.
I'm joking.
But you try and get away with it, don't you?
And then you get found out.
You're not a huge football fan,
so you'd be forgiven if you didn't know their name,
Ryan Gig.
but he was a massive deal.
963 matches that he played for Manchester United.
Okay.
Sorry, as to the head sport.
No, carry on.
The most Premier League assists ever
and the most Premier League titles ever won, 13.
Okay, wow.
So he's hit some records.
He's done some stuff.
Yeah, he's been busy off the field as well, it seems.
With his brother's wife.
Oh!
Yeah, his brother went on a podcast
and obviously there's been speculation in the past about it.
Maybe like years ago, months ago?
And supposedly this goes back to like 2011.
It was an eight year long affair.
But in the world of podcasting,
obviously everyone wants to interview the stars
and if they can't get the stars,
they get the brother of the star
and this is what Ryan Giggs's brother said happened
when he went to a party with his bro
and ended up having an argument with his wife.
We've got an argument.
she drove home and then I later found
she slept with him that night
she was, she was six months pregnant
Oh my
Oh my.
So, yeah
Or whatever she was, I don't know
Wow
That must be tough
Yeah, it was
But, you know, what are you gonna do?
You're gonna ruin your life for it?
Wow
I would
Yeah
Oh wow
I would
So imagine that
Imagine if we
If Bevan got interviewed
Instead of Clint
And then Bevan's like
Well you know
He slept with Rebecca
So that was that
So here's the crazy thing
is that so bad enough that your wife cheats on you, but you find out it's been happening with your brother.
Then you find it's been him for eight years.
And it started when she was six months pregnant with your kid.
How would you be...
Enough!
Who would you be more pissed off with in that situation?
Your brother or your wife or partner?
Because they're both in the wrong.
Yeah, that's an interesting question.
I instantly go get angry at the brother, but I actually think it would be just as angry at the wife, because they're both playing it.
Yeah, both aren't great.
Which gets more of your anger.
Maybe it's your brother.
Yeah, I think so too.
Bro.
I don't know, there's a brocode where you don't date your best mate's ex-girlfriend,
let alone your brother's current wife.
I think that's an unwritten rule.
Yeah.
I think that just goes without saying.
But yeah, that would have made the cheating worse as well once evening.
Then he goes on the podcast talks about it, so it's common knowledge to everyone.
And you're also digging up an old wound as well because it's one of those things that you're speaking on a little bit more publicly.
He must be gagging to get it off his chest.
he's like, why is nobody interviewing me?
Yeah.
They would have been like
jumping at the bit to say his piece.
So if you've got a story,
I mean, if you've ever been cheated on,
or maybe you found out like a friend of yours
that's always terrible.
But what made it even worse?
We're like, man.
Because quite often the truth comes out
with the cheating, doesn't it?
So they were cheating,
but then the other massive shock
is that they were also doing something else.
Yeah, the details around it
as they continue to unfold,
just make the cheating so.
much worse.
What made the cheating worse,
it's a story about a footballer
whose brother ended up going on a podcast
saying that his wife
cheated on him with his brother
while his wife was pregnant
with their baby.
Too many layers.
And also a lot of doubt, I imagine
from that moment on when it comes to
who the baby is if you've got
similar looks to your brother. Drew,
you'd want a paternity judge. I love doing this though,
isn't it delicious? You just hear so much
Tea. Do you know what as well? We don't have
TV shows anymore where at the
end we find out if they are or aren't the dad.
You know, remember those shows like Ricky Lake
and Jerry Springer and then they come back after
the episode and he is
not the father.
Well we had an incredible call a couple of weeks ago
while you're away on your cruise Clint, but before
that let's go to Bex.
Hey Bex. Hey.
Oh, the Big X Hale. We're sorry that you have a story for this
and that you were cheated on and that something
else happened that made it even worse.
What happened?
So he got her pregnant when I was eight months pregnant
Right so you're pregnant
Your partner then is obviously cheating on you
He gets his mistress pregnant
How long was he seeing this other woman for
Well I didn't find out until my baby was over a year old
Oh my god
He was having the two families thing
Oh wow trying to do the juggle and neither of you knew
What an ass
No she knew
She knew.
Oh, she knew about you.
They were work colleagues.
It's so devastating, also when children get involved because they're born into a mess that they don't even know is coming, like with half siblings and everything.
It's still raw, because it sounds, by your voice, it's still quite a raw situation.
How long ago we're talking?
Oh, no, not at all.
No?
No, no, it's not a raw situation.
I'm just tired.
Yeah.
Hey, man for kids.
Yeah.
Hopefully you've moved on and you're in a better place now because that's horrific.
She might be back with them.
You're going to be careful.
We've got to be careful.
Oh, good God, no.
Okay.
You couldn't pay me enough.
The funny thing is, Bex, we have had people that have got back with them in those
similar situations.
In that situation, Bex, is he at least a good dad?
He's kind of like a fun uncle, like he's a dad.
Yeah, he gets to just do the fun bits rather than actually have the parenting.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's a lot of dads out there.
Exactly.
Yep, yep, I can imagine.
Thank you, Bex.
Unfortunately, Clint, the story.
were about to play for you is worse.
Really?
Actually, should we just let him have a listen?
Honestly, this is the best call you'll hear.
No, worst every time.
No, it's good.
Oh, it's good.
This is a fake name, Sophie.
What was your partner doing, or what were they doing
while you were in labour?
When I was in labour, he was having an interview with my mum.
This is perhaps the most shocking thing I've ever heard on this segment.
Okay, like, obviously he's a scumbag.
Let's take him out of the equation.
but your mom having an affair
and she knew you were giving birth and you were pregnant?
Yes.
Do you still talk to that, B?
Yes.
No, you don't.
Wow, I am dumbfounded.
He's a manipulator, he's a narcissist, he's a nasty evil piece of work.
And so was your mum.
Yeah.
But quite the lover, apparently.
Oh my goodness me.
Isn't that incredible?
Yeah, it turns out I think he got somebody else pregnant as well.
Wasn't there somebody else after that?
She was like, also he got somebody else.
She kept going.
Yeah, it kept going.
That's quite a deeply edited version.
She still talks to her mom, but yeah, her mom was sleeping with her partner when she was giving birth.
Of all the people you think you could trust.
Yeah.
Yes, I know.
Isn't that awful?
Your mum?
She forgave her.
There must have been other things at play.
Maybe her mum's loaded.
And she's thinking about the inheritance.
I'll just pretend I'm still, you know.
And if her mom cares about her enough to give her inheritance if you're sleeping with her daughter's partner while she's in labour.
But can you imagine.
giving birth. So she's just given birth.
Everything's brand new. You're in the trenches.
You've got this newborn baby. And then you find
out that not only your partner's
cheating on you, but your mother, both of the people
that you think need to be as close to you as
at that time.
That poor woman, eh? Some of us just
just lead very normal lives compared to
the others. The Clint Megandandand podcast.
Long distance Bessie Island.
We can't believe it, but we have been told that
there are five spaces left.
You can come with us to
Fiji with your long distance bestie.
This all spurred from the fact that I
was missing mine desperately
and I realized how hard it was to get us
out of the group, Chad, and actually organise
the time to get together. We want to make it an annual thing
with this is something that you do with your best friend
so you know you've got something to look forward to.
Yeah, totally.
And so I guess it doesn't matter if it's been
I mean sometimes for some people
six months is a long time, three months
since you've seen your best friend. Especially if they're your best friend.
Like that's a long time to not see them.
And then there are others maybe five years
through no fold of Rome.
Maybe it's a distance thing.
They live in Australia.
Obviously there are packages
that will get them from Australia to Fiji as well.
We can just skip some of this freezing cold weather.
We get to the island.
I miss my best maid.
He lives in New York and it's going to be a much more expensive trip
for him to come to Fiji from New York.
You're worth it, Dan?
Yes, yes.
Well, he's rich so he can afford it.
He can definitely come if you want to do,
but he clearly doesn't.
It's a $500 deposit.
$2,900 covers, your flights, accommodation,
your food, your drinks, your transfers, everything.
Okay, so,
the three of us thought we could do a bit of a G-up
and we're targeting maybe a slightly different audience.
I thought I might target the lads.
Of course you did.
Who would have guessed it?
Lads, listen up.
It's time to decide.
Oh my eyes are going to roll so far at the back of my head.
Are you staying at home or are you joining the ride?
Aren't we sick of hearing?
Oh, we definitely should.
Enough with the lies and the, yeah, mate, that'd be good.
because the best stories, at least the ones that I know,
usually start with Stuffit.
I'm in, boys, let's effing go.
What rhymes?
There's towers of cold beers waiting for us on the island.
But who's going to drink him if you stay behind and
where's the eye candy at?
The girls will complain.
Unless you answer the call and get on the plane.
It's rhyming still.
He's sort of a...
I really won't complain to no eye candy.
Come home with a Fiji but a singlet.
sunburn.
We'll get matching tattoos because, man, we never learn.
Or you can stay at home, watching your annual lever crew, getting slammed by the boss for things
he didn't even do.
You should take that to each other, actually.
You can watch all the stories the rest of us put up online saying, looks unreal, boys,
while pretending you're fine.
So, sack up, lads.
Get your bum on a seat quick.
otherwise stay at home
if you've got a small
oh okay see he's gone back to the rhyming
no we have gone very different there
but good on you Clint
oh that's good
I've never heard you rhyme before
and it's um
I'll most hope I don't hear it again
you're kind of in my territory a little bit there
and maybe I'm happy for you
that you're giving it a go
yeah Meg's the poet on the show Clint
yeah it's a her right
all right lads bestie if you haven't already done it
to 3343 get the link
and just go bugger it man
I deserve it
we're working like a dog
there was a line in there that said
Clint said if you're not coming
who's going to drink all the beers on the island
I think Clint will give it a good bash
Yeah he'll do he'll do his best
But I need you help
I need you help
Yeah
Best said at 3343 honestly
It'll be a real highlight of the year
To the Fiji of New Zealand
They say
Yeah
Gizbin
Oh yeah is that what they say
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah Dan's been putting together
Postcode playlist
Because every caller wins
R&V tickets
If you get on here Friday
So Dan's been working on a N
Original song for Gisbon.
Yeah.
And you know what?
Gisbon is, I would say, a small town
compared to some of the cities
we've done for Postcode Playlist.
But a lot of feedback came through yesterday
with suggestions of what we can include in the lyrics.
Let's get a little bit of a taster as to how the song's coming along
from Dan Webby next.
The Clint Meggin' Dan podcast.
Post Code playlist.
From the Tampa Cape Brianger down to the dirty deep south of Bluff,
no town is safe.
This is your Postco playlist.
Oh, we've been doing it for a while,
haven't we, Postco playlist?
We haven't done it actually for, I'd say maybe two or three months,
where we make an anthem for different towns and cities around New Zealand.
The lyrics suggested by you, people that maybe live in the town,
or you've been through it, you've driven through it, you've stayed there.
This week we're doing Gisbon, beautiful, sunny Gisbon.
I can't believe we haven't done Gisie already.
Well, it's a bit of a smaller place, isn't it?
Like we usually do the big ones, like Wellington, Hamilton, Hamilton.
We've done Christchurch.
We've done Christchurch.
But you know what?
Some of these small towns have just as much interesting things that happened there.
Yeah, and then I guess something as topical is R&V having its last year
and Waiolhika State in Gizzy.
You thought, right, it only right that we do that.
And also, a reminder, every caller wins on Friday.
You get on here between 6am and 10 a.m.
We'll send you to R&V for the final time in Gizzy for free.
So we're halfway through making the song.
I'm going into the studio again after the show to finish it up.
But we got some suggestions yesterday on some lyrics.
Someone said that it's the Chardonnay capital of the...
New Zealand. Lots of chardonnay made in Gisbonne. Shadernay's making a comeback. It is. It used to be
like, considered like an old lady wine. Really? Oh yeah, all the youngans are getting into it.
Buttery shardin. Natalie called up and said that it's
a bit iffy when it rains down in Gisman because the sewer's overflow with poo.
Which is not something you really want to know, is it? But that's one of the things
that the locals are talking about. Obviously, there's some famous people that have come
from there. Maz Quinn the Surfer and Kitty Takana were the opera singer.
Wow. I think she's a dame now.
Yes, she is.
Great beaches.
Obviously, they love their KFC down in Gisbon.
In fact, they're the only town in New Zealand with two K-Friars.
Really?
Two of them, which is the highest amount.
I thought there'd be more.
I suppose if you're a city, so if you're a town.
It's a town, yeah, city is different.
But this is considered a town.
And they have great camembert as well.
They're from Weimar to cheese.
Ooh.
So now you're speaking a language.
So you haven't finished it entirely.
But we've got a bit of a tease.
And this isn't like a duelip a tease.
When she releases a new song gives you eight seconds, Dan's giving us a full minute.
This is a rough cut.
It's not fully produced yet.
There's still going to be some, like, little things that have changed.
But have a listen.
Most of the North Island is there, Gisbon.
For the Chardonnay is burn.
When Gisburn,
yes, that is burn.
Burn.
Oh, yeah, very large me.
Yeah.
Wait for the drop.
It was filthy.
Yeah, I did.
Really just kind of list.
I listed the lyrics.
Yeah.
But you wait because there's another seven minutes of that to come tomorrow.
No, I'm sorry.
You know, they are quite long those songs.
Shannon from Gisbon.
First thoughts on the teaser, at least.
We'll have the full song at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning.
You need to change Gisbonne to Gisdbourne.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, Jesus.
that's going to actually take quite a bit.
Is it going to offend you a lot if I just keep it as Gisbon?
No, but if you really think about it,
does everyone walk around going Gisbon?
Gisbon.
Apparently I do.
So it's Gisborn.
So a full re-record request from Shannon.
Fair enough, bro.
If you're going to do it, mate, do it right, eh?
Good on you, Dan.
No, I've never heard anyone go.
I'm going to Gizborn for R&V.
But hey, look, if the locals are getting pissed off, I'll do it.
Okay, 8 a.m tomorrow morning.
Post-Go playlist, Gizzy is going to get the,
we'll get the full song, all produced tomorrow morning.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
One of my wife's friends is, what's the piecey word for it?
A bit of a scumbag.
Oh, bloody hell.
Bit of a cheap ass.
Okay, it's very different.
Scumbag and cheap ass are two different things.
You know, one of those people that you're like,
I'm sure you can afford better stuff than what you've got.
They're just a bit of a cheapo.
Oh, yeah.
Frugal.
But it depends.
I guess sometimes you think they should be spending their money on a new car,
but they're not a car person.
They spend their money on experiences.
But they don't.
I think she does a bit of travel maybe,
and that's what she likes to spend her money on.
Good on her.
But she's been rocking for as long as I've known her,
so as long as Hannah and I have been together, an iPhone 6.
Oh, she's like me.
She's like, if it's not broke, don't fix that.
So to paint the picture if you're not an iPhone person,
we're currently on the iPhone 17.
They come out every year.
So that's at least what, 11 years she's had that phone.
That is a good innings.
So she got it new and she says never upgraded
I didn't even
Don't they get so old that they stop updating
With the latest software?
Yeah that's what I said to Hannah
I was like surely that's like defunct now
Like it won't take any more updates
But she still she was still rocking it
Until about two weeks ago
When the phone broke finally
Surprise surprise surprise
And instead of going to
Two degrees or one of those shops
And buying a brand new phone
She's gone back
To the phone she had
Before the iPhone 6
It's like this Motorola eraser thing
that's like not you can't even take photos with it
it's like a flip phone and it's like your classic texting
where you hit the numbers like multiple times
I love that from her I think that's so cool
and I feel like if I didn't have this job
I'd quite like that life where you knew your phone is just a phone
and it was funny because when she came over the other day
it was like she had come from the past
because we're all handing the phone around being like
oh my God we used to have this
it's like nostalgia
I was like playing the ringtones from it
like polyphonic ringtones it was amazing
and she swears by it because she's like
there's no internet
net on it. There's no Facebook. There's no
Instagram. It's just used for texting
and phone calls and she
swears by it. Even though it's not as
helpful when you're, I don't know,
traveling and you want to ask JetGBT where the best
places to eat and then you jump on your GPS and
find out how to actually get there. There is
something in the nostalgia of it
and the excitement of going back in time
because I think it takes you back to remembering
so many other things
where you go, I remember the time
was different. I love to bring
back maybe a
maybe an audio version of the Gen Z quiz.
Oh God, that's a throwback, Glenn.
Yeah, we'll play you some millennial sounds.
And if you are a Gen Z, which I think is 14 to 29,
it's like 1997 to 2012.
Those are the years he had to have been born.
So you can ring up and play and see if you know these sounds?
Yeah.
So I'll give you a little practice one now.
Okay.
Oh, that's one of those things.
I don't know what they're called,
but those things where you turn them.
Yeah.
Dad does a goodie.
Meg?
Oh, that's good.
You didn't put any gusto into that whatsoever.
Isn't it funny that ours are higher than Meg's and she's the girl?
That says more about you than Meg.
Okay.
If you are Gen Z age between 14 and 29, give us a call.
We're going to play some millennial sounds and see how many you can get out of the six that I've got.
Let's not go too far back like into your youth.
Clint, because we don't hear, like, chalk on slate or something.
It would just be, yeah, rock moving first time.
We're all millennials, thank you.
That's a horse and cart.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Lesh school.
Dan's mates rockin, an old school flip phone.
The nostalgia of it got the whole table all excited.
Yeah, we're all looking at it like it was something from the past.
Like they brought in the flux capacitor or something, but it was a Motorola razor.
So it would be good to get a Gen Z on, and let's play them some millennial sounds and see how many they recognize.
Jasmine is game this morning.
Hey, Jasmine.
Hi, how's it going?
Jasmine, do you even know what a Motorola razor is?
I can't say I do.
I would assume, okay.
How old are you, Jazz?
22.
Okay, yeah.
Jay, well and truly.
Let's see how you go.
Okay, the first millennial sound that you need to guess is
she'll never get it.
Like a train?
Chatternangs.
They were the greatest gift
one certain Christmas that every kid got
and then every parent regret it.
The best 25 bucks you could ever spend.
It was amazing.
You know what?
There's still a thing.
I have mine still, I believe.
Yeah, my brother's got one.
I saw one at the warehouse the other day,
25 bucks.
They're still the same price,
and you can still get them.
They look a little bit different.
I was bad to say they don't make them like they used to, I bet.
Flimsy.
Okay, jazz, millennial sound too.
Oh, they just gave to shipments down so many people's backs.
Maybe like, I don't know,
some movie player turning on.
Probably like that.
It's PlayStation 1.
PS1.
Oh, the moments that.
Oh, I've never been a gamer.
Usually then that sound was followed by Crash Bander Coot.
Yeah.
Oh, how good.
Okay.
What's this sound, Jess?
Oh, I actually do know this one.
It's an internet dialect.
Yay.
How would you know that, Jasmine?
Only because I've used it for a work video one time.
I had to search up what it was.
Okay.
Okay, all right.
What is this song advertising?
Yep.
Come with me.
We will learn to touch the blue sky with grey and bow.
All the colors that we fly.
We can be much closer together.
Holden one.
Four lads, beautiful voices.
No?
Something very like, I don't know.
Calm.
Like a stereo, I don't know.
No, rainbow's ends.
That's where you're fine.
They still use this in some ads.
I've seen it recently.
Yeah, okay, so no points there.
Let's give you one more.
Okay.
Sevent we get two on the board.
What is this millennial sound?
They're like before the movie.
Like, you didn't see a car.
Pirating is theft.
I always said that stealing a car is much, much worse than just rip in a DVD.
Yep.
All right, you hold there, jazz.
We'll grab something for you.
Thanks.
Sorry, Meg, stop.
Yeah.
Sorry, I'm just doing handsets.
It's the noise they make.
All right, it's bang on 8 o'clock.
Easy money.
The letter is Z.
Can't be too many answers to start with Z.
Glenn, it's so easy.
All right, come on.
It's so easy.
If you think you can get the job done,
10 answers and 30 seconds, call us now.
Oh, 800 at the edge.
We will give you a crack at it in 90 seconds.
Clint Meg and Dan.
Stinky B.
Your favorite game on the edge just hits.
Easy.
Maybe.
Well, thanks to our mates in Novice Glass.
Novice Glass have local branches nationwide.
They'll even handle your insurance claim.
Well, they ain't.
Yeah, how good, eh?
One-stop shop, in it.
All right, the letter's already be chosen.
It is Z or Z, and you need to give us 10 answers,
starting with Zed in 30 seconds with no repeated answers.
And then our boss puts $1,000 in your bank account.
Oh, this one's going to be fast.
I'm nervous.
Okay, Hannah is a first-time caller.
Hey!
Get in, Hannah.
First-time caller.
Morning, Han.
Good to have, yeah.
Good morning.
You called it a good time because I think this is the best chance of winning the $1,000 we're had.
I'm actually sweating here.
Here we go.
I'm going to sit.
I'm going to sit.
Okay.
Now, Hannah, your time will start at the end of Meg asking you your first question.
Okay.
Okay.
You can pass, but you can't have any repeat answers.
Yeah, and if we've got time, we'll come back.
Your letter is Z.
Z for zebra.
Could be one of the answers.
I don't care.
Here we go.
We need a winner.
Here we go.
You ready, Hannah?
Yeah.
Best of luck, darling.
Here we go.
Give me a petrol station.
An animal.
A vegetable.
A vegetable.
A zucchini.
A boy's name.
Zane.
A girl's name.
Zara.
A singer.
Zara.
Zendaya?
A country.
A country.
Zambia.
Activity you do with your family.
Zip swinging.
A movie.
Oh, that was eight.
We spent so long on Ziputlanding.
We only had two more.
And I'd pay Zendah.
She's a singer before she acted.
Yeah, she's the singer.
Yeah.
Oh, Hannah.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah, that was eight in a row.
And you didn't pass it and you just needed to be quicker
with the ones that you struggled on.
Sorry about that.
that Hannah. You could feel how
yeah, how close it was.
I put you, maybe a bit of a bad phone line
as well because we started off a little rocky
between the first and second one.
Hey, getting closer. Getting closer.
I mean, the last two questions were
a movie. Zootopia, Zoolander.
And a fashion brand, which I would
have struggled with if I'm honest.
Zara. I would have gone Zara, but you had the name
Zara. She'd already use Zara for a girl's name. And then
Zara lastin, so that was the only part that I'm on
Okay, okay. Backing in tomorrow, seven o'clock and eight o'clock, your chance to play for a thousand bucks.
Long distance, Bestie Island, there are, well, as of five o'clock this morning, there were five packages still available.
That may have changed after Dan and I gave the country a bit of a G-up.
Yeah, my turn. Meg's turn. To try and hook you.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Long-distance bestie island.
Fiji!
Flights accommodation, food, drinks, travel. It's all included in the $2,900.
We've got five packages remaining before everyone's locked in their boarding pass
and we're out of here to avoid some of this freezing cold winter
and get into sunny Fiji late October.
Just get out of the group chat.
You and your best to keep saying we need to catch up.
We need to catch up.
We've done it all for you.
Yeah.
We've all been given the challenge to hype it up, make it sound as big as possible.
Clint's trying to get the lads there.
I mean, not that it needs to be hyped up in any way.
I think that hyping has done itself.
Just to get you're excited.
Yeah, we spoke to Tanya this morning.
She's off on a six-week trip around Dubai and Scotland and Ireland.
We're like, when you leave, and she's like, I'm off in an hour and a half to the airport.
How nice would that be?
It could be you in October, coming with us.
Don't get to October and then be like, oh, damn, I wish I'd done that.
Okay.
Okay, so Meg, I'm going to change tact here.
Yeah, here we go.
And she's all yours.
You zip up your suitcase, walk out the front door.
And for the first time since you can remember, nobody is asking you where their shoes are.
For no lunches to pack, no emails to answer, it's just you.
So you order that airport wine without checking the time.
Put your phone into aeroplane mode.
Smile to yourself as the plane starts to take off.
You're actually doing this.
The plane doors open, warm Fiji, air, palm trees.
And then you see her.
Your best friend, the one that you've missed through birthdays, babies, jobs and life,
you both run into a hug because years apart disappear in a second.
This music's wrong.
Okay.
Can we start?
Yeah, it's built funny, hasn't it?
Jesus, okay.
Yeah, absolutely.
Let's not start again.
No, we're not going to start again.
Okay, yeah, because I was really in it.
I was deep in the zone there.
I felt like we'll go into like an edium sort of.
Can we come out of the plane again?
Okay, we're coming out of the plan.
Here we go.
The plane doors open.
Warm Fiji ear.
Palm trees and then you see her, your best friend,
the one that you've missed through birthdays, babies, jobs and life.
You both run into a hug because years apart disappear in a second.
Cocktails arrive.
The conversation never stops.
Sunset dinners, the sunsets turn into dinners, dinners turn into late night laughs,
and you remember who you are when you're together.
No rushing, no mental load, no clock watching,
just four days with a person who knows you better than almost anyone.
And somewhere between that first swim and your last sunset with your best friend,
you say the same thing.
Why didn't we do this sooner?
Oh, you got me.
I'm all in.
I've never got back from a holiday and gone,
I wish I hadn't done that.
Never.
Oh yeah, that one where we got influenza B
and my wife got pneumonia.
Yeah, that wasn't.
That one sucked.
Yeah, that one sucked.
But luckily there's no such thing as influenza B in Fiji.
Yeah.
I think there is.
There is, and we can't say that legally, I don't think.
But if you want to come along,
you want to have that moment with your best friend,
you want to switch off and just four days,
just have you and them and they know you better than anyone else.
You make those new memories,
those become the stories that you talk about,
the next time you see each other, text Bestie 3-34-3.
Don't be watching Owen's stories going, oh!
Why didn't we do it?
Yeah.
Just remember there's only five more packages left,
so get involved quickly because they'll go quick.
Convince them.
You won't regret it once you're there.
Yeah, 100% Bestie to 3-343.
That's a good G-out, Meg.
Thank you.
Now, I want to go, and I'm already going.
I'm literally sitting here right now fully jeered up.
Yes.
Oh.
I might leave the room for a minute.
I need to go for a walk.
Actually, I might stay sitting for a minute.
Me and me if you go for a walk.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
All right, three celebrities, we argue back and forth
about whether they deserve to be in the A-Lis, B-List or C-Lis once a week.
Yeah, this gets contentious, it gets argumentative.
One time, Clint Rownhouse kicked me to the back of the head
because he was so angry.
No effect, though.
It didn't even, Dan didn't even...
No, I stopped him.
Big Dome.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
All right, the three names I have for you this morning.
Morning, Robert Patterson, David Beckham, Chris Jenner.
Okay, so Robert Patterson or Robert Pattinson?
Oh, I thought, it was the Twilight.
Yeah, Twilight Pattinson.
Is it Patton?
Yeah.
Oh, no, the fact that you're saying is the last thing wrong, suggests that he can't even see a name.
Yeah, I would argue, because Meg knows everyone if she can't get his name right.
Everyone knows they get everything wrong, though.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, it is Patenton.
So Pattinson, I would put, he, look, he is very famous.
But I just don't think he's maybe A-list.
Oh, definitely not. I'm thinking B or C.
He's definitely not C-Less.
When you hear the name Robert Pattinson, I think most people would be like,
oh, which guy, and you'd need to show them a photo.
No.
Oh, that dude.
So Twilight, Batman, the Odyssey, the drama, Mickey 17, Batman.
He's not C-List.
I think he's B-list and I think he's quite a strong B, but he's not A.
I would say he's a, it's hard, he's a modern-day A to me.
He's the most, like, actor of actors at the moment.
I think this is never happened.
I think he's a weak B or a strong C.
Wow.
Okay, then we can go on to David Beckham.
A all day.
I think because, again, he is at the status of great when it comes to sport.
Like he's one of the greats of football.
But he also was dating and married to a spy school at the absolute peak of their fame.
And they were like the biggest celebrity couple in the world at the time when paparazzi was rife.
And if you say the name Beckham, you know it's football.
and for that reason I would put him in A.
I'd be hard-pressed to put David Beck him in if anyone argued he was a B.
Everybody would know at least his name.
Okay, the last one is Chris Jenner.
Now, as a name alone.
Now, here's the thing with Chris Jenner.
That's the mum of the Kardashians, maybe.
Yeah, so she doesn't have the Kardashian name.
Because I have to context her for people,
it's probably because I don't think she's an A.
I don't think she's a B either.
I reckon she's C.
I reckon Chris Jenna is a C-lister
because you know there'll be a lot of older folk out there
that don't know who the hell she is.
Okay, so we're...
So far, so far it's not looked in.
Christiana is the C.
David Beckham is an A
and Robert Patterson is a B.
If you think that is wrong, please call us
0-800 the edge, please text us 3-343.
I'm going to start calating votes.
See, Stacey agrees with me.
Robert is a B, David A all day
and Christiana C and she deserves it.
Why didn't Chris take the Kardashian name?
When all of the girls had the Kardashian name
and they were all like,
why didn't she take it?
I think she wanted her own name.
But also she split up with Robert Kardashian many years ago.
So maybe she did have Kardashian and then changed it back
just they split up.
I don't know if she was going to go back
because then she married Caitlin.
Yeah, which is confusing, but now Caitlin used to be a man.
Bruce.
Bruce.
That's right.
So why she kept his name?
I don't.
He's now a woman.
Her name.
A model, high hope's 3,000 on the edge, Clint McGinder.
I picture this playing in like a Canadian bar,
and the stalls up near the bar of saddles.
I love it.
I love that song.
It's such a, like, positive, happy, dancing around the, like a club.
You're right.
Well, you would be happy if you're dating Dakota Johnson.
Oh, yeah.
Is he?
Lucky guy.
Oh, it's all coming up, role model, isn't it?
Yes, he's doing very well.
Good on him.
We haven't discussed either of those, actually,
role model or Dakota Johnson in the A list.
next week.
The model's still not famous enough.
I think he'd probably still be a sea, unfortunately.
Well, today we are discussing Robert Pattinson,
who is in Harry Potter, Twilight, Dune, Batman,
some of the biggest movies all the time.
Who are he playing Harry Potter?
Centric Diggery.
Yes.
He was of quite a small part in it.
He dies.
He's one of the first deaths, spoiler alert.
But yeah, he's a small but good part.
So we put him at a B collectively.
Collectively, we don't normally agree.
I don't agree. I think he should be an A, but I am outvoted by you both.
Then we have David Beckham, who collectively we've said, is an A.
And I think he's probably the only safe one that people are agreeing with us on.
I think David Beacon, where we can safely say he is an A.
Shai lock him in, actually.
Wait, Shalding disagrees.
Oh, oh, oh.
First time caller as well, by the way.
So this got her out of the woodwork.
First time caller.
I just came to say hello.
Morning, Shalene. You disagree about Dave?
Yeah, I disagree. Yeah, I do.
He's never heard of him.
Who?
David Beck.
You have heard of David.
I have heard of him.
I just don't think he's that same.
Yeah, but what do you think about Robert Panison?
I mean, that's Team Edward.
How can he not be famous?
No, Charlene's my girlfriend.
Robert Patterson is more famous than David Beck.
You're a cook, Charlene.
You need to get more sleep, babe.
I don't know.
I kind of agree with her.
Okay, Charlene, I put the vote down.
Thank you so much for calling.
I hope you call back.
Karen.
Good morning.
Morning.
Morning, Karen.
So you agree with our levels of putting these people at A, B and C.
So David Beckham, you think he is an A?
Absolutely.
Football family here, A all day.
Okay.
Robert Pattinson, you put him at a B?
Never watched a movie with him in at all, and definitely a B.
Okay.
I've never watched Harry Potter or Twilight?
Neither.
And so that means...
No, but then I'm old, so, you know.
No, I'm not.
And so that means that you are putting Chris Jenna at a C.
Yep, as soon as me said Christina, I was like, C, C, C, C.
God, you and I are cut from the same gym, Karen.
Wow, you are very similar.
Absolutely.
Okay, okay, I'm going down through the text because we're getting more text and phone calls this morning.
I have collated the numbers.
Oh, yes.
Dylan says Twilight Guy as a B.
She's not even using his name.
Yeah, I don't think he's an A-lister.
We're locking it in the final telly.
Okay.
David Beckham.
Oh, that's a lot.
Are we doing drum rolls all three?
I don't think we need to.
We don't have this.
We need a shorter one.
A.
Robert Pattinson.
Robert Pattinson.
It's the longest drum probably.
B.
Yeah.
And finally, Chris Jenner.
The mother of the Kardashians.
A.
Jokes, C.
See list.
Look at that.
We got her A, B and a C today.
Wow.
So she's in there with Whoopi Goldberg?
Oh, let's see who else.
Yeah, she's with Whoopi, Lisa Kudrow, Jeremy Clarkson.
That's a shocker.
How do we get Jeremy Clarkson in the C list?
Zoe Kravitz, Christiana and Pharrell Williams
My group
That's so sad
I'd love to be a flower on the wall
In the conversation in there
She would be gutted
Chris would be pissed
Because Whoopi Goldberg is a very famous feminist
Jeremy Clarkson
Quite a chauvinist
And then you know a few of them
We're going to just get really booze
And go
What more do I have to do to get in
Beingless is ridiculous
I've been in the industry for 40 years
Poor Lisa
Why are they talking like that
They're not just drunk
Yeah
Damn
Emily says this list today, perfect.
10 out of 10.
No, no.
Didn't piss anyone off. That's wonderful.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
How fast is too fast when you move on from a partner?
Look, this is actually an incredibly sad story,
and I think this woman's amazing to have come forward
and spoken out about something that we hope.
I hope none of us will ever have to experience
and try and figure out what we would do in her situation.
Well, we will, because one of our partners will die before us.
Like, let's not kid it.
Let's not beat around the bush.
True, but hopefully not at a young.
age that we are now.
Yeah, like it's highly you dying or your partner's dying.
Because I think you're right, if you're in your 80s and your partner dies, you probably
go, hey, I've done it.
I'm happy to just finish out the rest of my life on my own.
But if you're in your 30s, you've got a lot of life still to live.
Yeah, so this influencer Shay has shown her life about her and her husband, Tanner, who
passed away over, I believe, five or six years from colorectal cancer.
So it was a very slow, sad death.
Oh, that's a long battle.
Yeah, it is a long battle.
and just before he passed away,
they actually had a baby together, Amy Lou.
And she has just come out now to say,
within the year of his passing,
she has remarried somebody else.
One of the greatest hopes Tanner had
was that I would find someone who would love Amy Lou as his own
and honor the life that Tanner and I built together.
I am incredibly grateful to say that I found that person.
See, here's the funny thing.
The internet just sees that she's moved on after her partner's done.
And they don't get all the details,
because you're right, it would make sense
that if you were dying,
you would say to your partner,
I want you to move on,
I want you to be happy,
I want you to live your life,
I want you to find somebody.
Somebody can help you raise our child together.
I don't want you doing it on your own.
And she said,
and she was saying, like,
throughout those five years,
I openly said I never find love again,
I'm done.
And then at some point,
she said that change because love doesn't raise love.
And she says,
moving forward is not the same as moving on,
and that her new husband
very much so respects Tanner,
talks about Tanner and loves that baby.
Good, rather than removing any sort of evidence that he was ever living there.
It sits at the grave with him and so on.
If I was Tanner, I'd be haunting the shit out of them.
Oh, Dan.
No, here's the thing.
Now, here's the thing.
I actually think you should.
If you find someone and you've got kids in the question and all that sort of thing,
it's trickier.
But it's the marriage for me that's too quick.
Getting married a year after the love of your life,
is what she said, died, too quick.
Just give it some time.
Get together with someone else fine.
But to the loved ones and the friends of Tanner
that were there when he died
a year ago, 12 months ago,
and now you've not just got together with someone else,
married them, that's too quick.
So how long from death till marriage?
Well, married within the year.
So we're talking about like engagement,
everything, like remarried within the year
and meeting this person dating, proposing,
being engaged, married.
Six months would probably be how long it takes to do a wedding properly, like to organise it.
So lots of comments after it. Some people were saying remarried after only a year is insane while
remarried already. People saying I follow because I resonate with you but I cannot anymore
because you're introducing a baby into somebody that you hardly know in their life.
Wait, no, but that hardly know. How do we know that the person she's now married to wasn't
in her circle of friends? I don't believe they were. She's an influencer. She hasn't said I've known
for ages. Unless she left out that detail,
she just said that I found love.
Right, okay. I think it is
disrespectful to the
partner that she had that she's moved
on a year after.
Like, moving on fine, like
dating and stuff, I kind of get that, but
marrying is crazy.
Isn't it hard to speak on if you
have never had a partner that slowly died
over five years? Exactly what she's saying.
She's like, I'd hope that you try and
understand what widowers and widows go
through. Other people are saying, I'm happy for you. I know
some people have mixed feelings or questioning,
but I wanted to share their anticipatory grief is very real
when you know your partner is passing away over years.
But did you need to get married?
I don't think you needed to get married.
Like get together with the person, support you through it.
Fine, support your kids, but don't get married.
That's disrespectful and I think quite sick.
Should we talk about the fastest time to move on,
whether it be from a breakup or death?
Yeah, it just has to be a death or anything.
You can give us the circumstances,
and then just the fastest people to move on
and see if we can find New Zealand.
quickest person to just get back on the horse.
I won't be as mean as I was to hear.
Unless you want us to be.
Unless it's about your ex.
Clint Meg was just telling us about a woman
who's partner died of cancer over five years.
And she has remarried within the year
and the internet is not happy.
The internet is torn.
Yeah, definitely.
There are definitely people that are going,
that is, I cannot get my head around
being remarried within a year of your partner passing
when you had a baby.
The baby is, I think, nearly a year old.
like a baby baby and other people are saying I'm glad I don't have to know what this
experience is and I can only hope that you're doing the best for yourself and you know
your relationship with your ex-husband I think it's fine to get into a relationship you
know a year after but to get married is disrespectful to everybody that knew your ex-partner
we want to talk to somebody who's moved on maybe in your eyes a little too quickly
maybe people didn't agree with how quickly you moved on or it was your partner
uh Sam's called up this morning hey Sam have a thought
Good, Sammy. Your phone's a bit iffy, but so your grandma passed away.
Did, yes.
Okay.
So, yeah, she passed away. She had cancer.
And then within, so it was a day before her one-year anniversary and her husband had engaged to another woman.
Okay.
Now, how old were they?
Is this like a young grandma, like 60s, 70s or is this like 90s?
No.
So grandma was in her mid-70s.
Oh, that's young.
He was, I think he's slightly, he's not my granddad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's had three years younger than her.
Was your granddad, like, and grandma, like, were they one of those older couples, though, that, like, are sort of sick of each other?
You know, they're always bickering, like, or they love of life.
Absolutely.
Yeah, no, but either bickering.
Oh, wow.
So, yeah.
But also, I get it.
He was already out of the marriage a bit.
If you're 75, I mean, I don't know, but I imagine life was a lot.
on fast forward. You're doing everything quicker
because you're running out of time.
You don't have five years today. Exactly.
Yeah, you've got your time's running out.
I sort of get it more when they're old.
We have Cedric here. Cedric is texting
and I'm super interested.
Thank you for talking to us Cedric.
Look, this is what you text.
Met my now wife three months after my wife of
34 years passed. Can you give us
more details?
Yeah, so
we came out of COVID lockdown. My wife
was sore during COVID lockdown.
We found out that she had liver cancer and she got three months to live.
Oh my goodness.
So sorry.
We've got to be unbelievable news to receive.
We had a lot of plans.
You know, we're getting to the end of our working career.
We had plans to travel around New Zealand and a camper and do different stuff.
So you'd never know, I guess it's the biggest thing.
You never know how much time you got left.
So every day becomes important.
and in those three months
I had time to chat with her life
and she's like you'll find another
you know you'll get married again
and everything else and I was like
no you know 34 years
I've had it that's enough
yeah for sure
but yeah
through weird circumstances
I met this lady
my daughter who had had a baby
who was in Waikeada hospital
and this lady brought a
polisher unit off her
her husband didn't use so
she asked me to go around
and give it to this lady in the drive
she would give me some money.
That was great.
Met this lady and found out that her husband of 10 years passed 12 months earlier of cancer.
Wow.
She nursed her husband for over 10 months with five kids.
So pretty strong woman.
Wow.
And she had a business that she'd started up out of COVID, a lawnmone business and a cleaning business.
I've been in the corporate world, so I wanted to come out of the.
that for a number of months and just find out who I was and take a breath.
And so she struggled to do the accounting side of the business.
So I became a, I don't know, I wasn't a partner.
I just became a person that had time on my hand to do accounts.
And I'm guessing you became close and got together.
So after your wife passed then, how long was it that you started dating this person officially?
So I met her about two and a half months after my wife passed.
I then helped her at her business for about five weeks, and then we got engaged.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
And so obviously you guys have a lot in common with how you guys have lost your soulmates,
even though you guys are ready to move on and you're finding probably a lot of support in each other.
What do the rest of the family think of it?
I mean, you're talking three.
My two children in Hamilton, they saw the relationship.
they saw the fact that it was true love
there was nothing else in it
and there's a bigger factor as well that
the children had to understand that my
wife now is 20 years younger than me
so
her first husband was about
18 years older than her
so yeah
okay so why Sandra just to ask a question because
this is the question everyone has online with this
first scenario that we're talking about and now yours
why marriage why not just
date for a couple years and then get married later?
Like, why rush into the engagement? What's that about?
So,
tell me what the difference is, apart
from a piece of paper of living together
and being married. But that's the
same the other way around, too. Like, what's the difference
in not getting married if
it's just a piece of paper?
Look, I guess
it's just a commitment to one another.
Yeah, right. We knew
it was right. And when you're at
our age, you know, you're getting
midlife and older life.
You know what you want.
She's 20 years younger, so she's a bit...
I guess she isn't in that stage, I imagine.
But I guess you know...
But if she's being married to someone same age to Cedric,
then I guess, you know, she's been in a relationship for a long time.
Oh, thanks for calling Cedric.
I mean, it's all that matters is that your family understand.
I mean, everyone else doesn't really matter, does it?
And if you're happy and just to go through...
And no one's really going to be able to know
if they've never been through a situation
where they've lost their wife of 34 years.
Yeah. That's it.
You don't know.
You don't know what's behind it.
And like we've been married for four years now.
It's been a tremendous marriage.
She's had, look, I'm looking after her three kids as well with her.
They've kept the men because they were in a state of grief as well.
And just because we got married early or got into the roadship early, you don't stop grieving.
Like people think, oh, you've moved on, you've stopped grieving.
You know, I still grief today.
I was with my daughter yesterday and I was still in tears about my wife.
So you don't stop grieving just because.
because you find another life partner.
It's something I hope I never have to understand.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
Dan, you sure back down, though.
Oh, no, I'd still be haunting the shit out of scenery.
Oh, God, if I was his wife, I'd be in there every night.
Well, it's something, yeah, I hope we never have to understand.
Patty Gower, joining us next.
This is the fucking news.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Paddy Gower has issues.
It's on three tonight, 7.30, and he discusses peptides,
which is fascinating to learn about from the outside,
about what these tiny little vials
can do for the human body allegedly.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it's pretty incredible.
You know, as I said before,
I imported these myself from China within five days.
Wow.
This is Retta, which a lot of people will start to hear about,
Reda Trutide.
It's a weight loss peptide.
But there's a tanning peptide.
There's an injury recovery peptide.
Inflammation one.
Yeah, Wolverine is the one that regenerates your body,
you know, like the character.
What? God.
Injecting someone called Wolverine into your body doesn't sound good.
does it? There's a glow-up peptide
that gives you that look of a glow-up.
There's one for your hair
strength. There's all sorts
of peptides out there now. And how long
are you having to say take this for before you
have lost the weight or you are
tanned enough? Well, no, they kick in pretty quick.
I mean, you know, the person that
used the retta that I've interviewed in my show tonight
which is on three now as well, you know, she lost
14KGs in something like
three months, went from 61 KG
down to 44. That's 17
KGs she lost. But, you know, she
she shows one of the problems of it
in that she didn't actually have a weight problem to begin
with, but you can get
access to this drug that can take it away.
So the stuff you've
explained there all sounds great
to me. So what are the
drawbacks? There's obviously with this kind of thing
we've seen it before, there's always
drawbacks, right? Yeah, I mean it's like
a cheat code, right? So when you
cheat at something, there's always got to be a consequence
or so you think. But I mean
they haven't been through their
clinical trials, these unapproved
medicines. So, Wagoe and all that, you know, they
test them on the animals, then they test them on the humans,
and they're like, yeah, this is good to go.
We know what the side effects are, we know everything, and you can go
through a doctor. This is skipping that process.
This hasn't been through that full testing kind of process,
but it's now effectively doing that
on the global stage.
Yeah, I, with no names,
know actually a few people that are on peptides,
different ones, not weight loss ones.
and I know people that have said that it saved their life,
completely changed their lives,
ended their inflammation, made them healthier,
which I don't want to sit here and put out
that sort of messaging to something that's unregulated,
but what I don't understand,
and I've seen the difference in them.
I don't understand why if these things are helping people,
why can't we go to the doctor and get it?
Because I'm not a person that will ever, ever put,
injects things into myself that I don't know what it is,
but I'm watching other people have these incredible results for them,
so why aren't the doctors doing it?
And I think that is the big question amongst this, because if you look at them closely, you know, people are getting good results from peptides and there's what I would describe as walking advertisements for them here in New Zealand where people are walking around looking amazing or feeling amazing or whatever.
And the simple fact is the processes for doctors to be able to prescribe them isn't going to be fast enough to kind of deal with this.
They can't just say tomorrow, hey, these are good enough.
If someone's taking peptides, are there any legal peptides?
they're all illegal currently? No, so
Wago v. In Ozempic are peptides.
They're part of the peptides family.
And, you know, how they work is they send a
message from your brain. So, you know, the weight
lost ones say, you're not hungry.
You don't need to eat. You know, that
suppresses your hunger mechanism.
The tanning one sends a message saying
you are tanning. Start tanning.
You know, even though you're not in the sun.
So they work in the same way. They send
messages to the body and the
brain of what's happening. So when you ordered
those peptides from China and
they came over and they're an illegal substance.
You got them in five days.
Did you get them because you are Padigawa
and you're running a TV show?
Or anyone can do that?
Anyone can do that.
I'll tell you how I did it.
I went through a social media ad.
I went on to WhatsApp.
I was connected with someone in China and they were here.
And I've talked to the MedSafe and Customs at the border.
And, I mean, they have intercepted thousands and thousands of these vials this year.
I mean, people are doing this now.
At the moment, not they are illegal.
but no one I can find has actually been done yet.
Charged.
Yeah, yeah, because it's so, I guess because it's so new.
And also, you're going to be charging some very unusual people to charge
because it might be some bloke down in Hamilton who's got a crook knee
and has been limping around and wants to get the kids to school without pain.
Now, are you really going to go down, charge him, lock him up, you know, do whatever?
And if we're talking about thousands of people like that doing it,
I mean, the authority's got a problem on that.
Can I just ask a question on behalf of Clint?
Because I know he won't ask.
How do you get the tanning one?
Don't mess with your melanoma.
He asked me off here.
Yeah, yeah.
He wanted the tanning one.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
And I guess we'll find out
and Paddy Gower has issues tonight
what the consequences and some of the side effects in that are.
But it's interesting because I'm hearing you talk about it
and it seems like you're talking about them
in quite a positive light.
Would that be fair or unfair?
fear to...
Yeah, I mean, they're hard to talk about
because there's a real balance between these.
People are having these amazing results,
but at the end of the day, you know,
it is a negative thing.
Like, people will see the horrifying story
of a young lady with body image issues tonight
who nearly killed herself on these
by losing so much weight
because of that addiction to losing weight.
I mean, they are scary.
We test them tonight.
You don't know what's in them.
The testing will show that to New Zealanders.
You know, yes, the idea of them and the idea of what comes in the future is good Clint,
but the here and now is dangerous and it is scary
and be incredibly careful if you're going to do this stuff.
It's probably a good place to leave it.
Patty Goa has issues.
You want to find out more tonight, 7.30 on three.
And if you can't catch it live, you can catch up on three now.
Are we not going to clap him?
I don't know what they're going to clap, Patty.
No, we can go, Patty.
Thank you.
