This is a podcast from Rover. Ever wanted to eavesdrop on a group chat that should never see the light of day? Congrats. You've found it. This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast. That's right. The show you know is back with a bang. Ugh, not like that.

It's the edge breakfast. Clint Megan Dan 94-2. Morning 1 to 6 on your Tuesday regular size week. Yeah, it's good to be here, Clinton. Now, usually opposite me is Meg. Now, poor old big slept We all do it Must be nice getting all that extra sleep

Yeah, we all do it Yeah, she's always complaining about not getting enough And here she is having the sleeper She's been having a rough night I think with her girls Yeah You know, just when you think you're nail in the parenting thing And they're sleeping really well

And then all of a sudden they get a growth spurt Or start growing teeth or something I think yesterday she jinks it She said to me or maybe it was a couple of days ago She was like, oh it's just really easy Really easy And here we are. Yeah, so one of those ones when you think you're hitting the snooze button,

you've turned the alarm off. So she's awake now, she's aware, and she's on her way, so she'll join us, no doubt, the next 30 or so. I think we've got men-writing women, or what do we call it now? Bromantic fiction. Romantic fiction coming up later this morning where we write smut, basically, Clint and I. I sent mine to Meg last night, so I do wonder if she was up late reading that.

Oh, really? Kept her up. Because it's quite a saucy one this week. That's all I'm going to say. We're going to get soap on so she can get like we get her live reaction? Yeah. Because you've written it for her because her, her me cute story was a bit Monday. Yeah, so I've spiced it up quite a bit.

Okay. Taking a lot of artistic licence. Yeah, very much so. Very much. In fact, the original story's hardly there, if I'm honest. Great. It's very loosely based on a true story. Clint, Meg and Dan.

Oh, my gosh. Time to get into our 6am throwback. We can tie it into the story. Super Bowl, which was on yesterday if you missed it, all you need to know is the Seahawks sort of smashed the Patriots. Hell of a performance. I'd say probably a lot of people are saying one of the

best half-time shows ever from Bad Bunny. Not if you talk to Donald Trump. Yeah, he didn't like it. Do you know what made me love it more? The whole time Bad Bunny he's Puerto Rican. So you can't understand a word he's saying if you only speak English. And I was like, Donald Trump is going

to be spitting. Oh, he'd be hating it. The more I knew is hitting it, the more I was just loving it, that America was showcasing something of culture outside of just like kid rocks. Yeah. Did you see Donald Trump's coin toss as well?

Because he obviously did the coin toss to see who does the kickoff at the start of the game. And instead of like flicking it with your thumb, he just sort of just, they just handed him the coin. He just like threw it in the end. I've seen him do that before. Unless that's how he flips coins, because I've definitely sent him to just kind of threw it up in the end.

it didn't spin as all. Like that. Crazy. Yeah, so Bad Bunny, 135 million people watched his halftime Super Bowl performance, which is the most since 2018 when Justin Timberlake did it. That was a great one as well. I mean, there's been so many good ones over the years. If you go back to 2015, Katie Perry.

Oh, yeah. See, that giant, like, I don't know if it was a tiger or a lion. Something that roars. Yeah, there was a shark as well. Then there was of course Coldplay the year after that in 2016 They brought Beyonce on, eh? Yeah, Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson A lot of other artists did the show with them.

Then 2017 Gaga, that was another one where she started. Remember, at the top of the stadium and then she just appeared at the bottom so there must have been like a body double. That was one of the greats. And she was on yesterday as well. She had a bit of a cameo performance in Bad Bunny's halftime show. Yeah.

It's been so many good ones, obviously, the Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog. Oh, that was sick. That was like three artists that could have done the Super Bowl half-time show on their own, but obviously they got together and the boys are like, let's just share the workload. 22, then the famous one with Rihanna where she revealed her baby bump. Oh, that's right. Yeah, in the red dress. 233. We watched that Meg's house. By the way, if we want to wear her Meg is, she's, uh, she slept in. Yeah, she's on her way. She's on her way.

What do you reckon? I reckon we go back to 2015 and play some Katie. Katie Perry? Yeah. She's got some banners. Did Prince do it back in the day? Can I play this guitar? The playlist has got Natasha Bettingfield. Has she ever done it?

No, she's never. She's been robbed not being able to do it. Yeah, because actually she's got a pretty good throwback, actually, these words. Good choice, Clint. Throwback to Katie. One of her greats. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. That is your 6am throwback, a Super Bowl edition, I guess.

When did you say she did the Super Bowl? 2000? 2016. 2016? Yeah, no, 2015, Katie Perry. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, it seems I remember that pretty vividly when she did that. Like, it was great production, lots of costume.

It doesn't seem that long ago. Ridiculous amount of money and the organisation that goes behind the scenes that now my algorithm is starting to show me just how long it takes to actually get a Super Bowl halftime show sort of put together and organise the hundreds of people that are all organ, like, part of it, make sure they're all in the right places. They can't have a certain amount of,

more than a certain amount of things on the field because they don't want to damage the pitch before the game goes into the second up. You see all the people dress up as the trees as well. Yeah. Imagine that if you emailed your mum or text your mum and be like, I'm in the Super Bowl. She's like, what are you? What are you doing?

You're like, I'm a tree. Just stuff as a tree. But like an amazing thing to be part of. I saw Jessica Alba was there too in the background. A bit of a throwback. You're seeing Jess in ages? She'll flick her a message here. What is she doing?

She was like A-list. Yeah, right. She was doing every movie. She did a lot of dance movies, into the blue with Paul Walker. I remember that one as well. Incredible. And then just, you're right.

She's just taking a bit of a breather. I'm really doing too much. I mean, look, she did a lot of stuff back then. She's probably just having you're right, having a breather. Yeah. Probably in kids. That's probably what she did. What do you do?

By the way, if you are wondering where Megas, she's on her way in. I think she had a rough night last night So in fairness to her She deserved a little bit of a sleeper But um Getting you in trouble when she gets in Yeah

Um yesterday I picked my son up from Khrash Yeah And it was a situation where I picked him up There's lots of kids running around So it's crazy there It's chaos They pick it up and there's like five six teachers And they're all great

But how can you control 40 children So I was in there, I was like, wading my way through the children to get to my son. It sounds like there are too many children per square metre, if I'm honest. It was quite a busy day. You're trying to get through a ball plan, and you're just going to kick in the ball. You're sort of like slowly kicking them out of the way, but like not in a way that you sort of want to hurt them. So I got through, and then I had my son with my hand, and I was like, had his hand in my hand, holding his hand, walking out. And I accidentally kicked over a kid, another kid.

Like just in a way, he sort of banged into my knee. and he sort of fell back. If he runs it straight to you, you're a grown man. Like, he's going to bounce off. He falls on and he starts crying and I get down. I'm like, shh, shh, like trying to sort of like contain the situation because it doesn't want it. It looked bad.

Like there's teachers sort of turning around like going, what's he done over there? So I had to like console this kid and convince him to stop crying. But it felt weird because I'm like, shut up, shut up, don't want people looking at me. I don't know what do you do when you make another kid cry that's not yours. You turn around and you go, George, don't do that. That's not nice.

You blame it on your kid, man. He's two. He's not even two. He can't, like, defend himself. It was the best when you can just blame everything on your, like, kids until they obviously get smart enough and dob you in. Because I turned around in Georgia sitting there looking at me like, well, what have you done?

He's only two. What have you done, Dad? But, yeah, so that was not a good situation yesterday. My little guy, he turned nine yesterday. And not only did he get a bunch of presents, he got himself a new girlfriend. And I was like, what do you mean? What do you mean you got a new girlfriend? And then he showed me the note

and he wrote on this note, do you want to be my girlfriend? And then he had three boxes. Yes, no, just friends. So he's given her really nice out there. That's a good options there. And it's just come back with a giant tick through the yes.

That's two kings. She shouldn't have some normal size tick. She's gone, yes, please. So good. So I just said to her, why do you like her? And he goes, well, she's cute. I've never heard her shout. And Annie said, I've never seen her being mean to anyone.

Good on. She sounds like a catch. Yeah, and I was like, oh, that's so cool that it was top three. She hasn't been mean. She doesn't shout at people. Yeah. And no physical stuff there either. He hasn't gone, and she's a babe.

Yeah. You know, she's all personality stuff. Good on him. Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, hopefully Meg will be joining us shortly because we've got a scandal. Otherwise, us boys will take care of that. Oh, we're, we can't.

Clint, we can't. Clint, Meg and Dan. Lesh, Gull. I'm Migs on her way in this morning. She'll be with us shortly. Candle with Meg Obviously a lot of people talking about the Super Bowl

yesterday A lot of people haven't spoken too much about Charlie Puth Who did the National Anthem at the start It was playing on the screens At my gym

And they had it on silent And I couldn't hear Charlie And I was like no It was so good I knew he would be For the land The Jets like fly over the stadium How did they stick that up

Because if you didn't see the visual of it He does the big note and at the perfect time three fighter jets, a formation, fly over the stadium. How do they do that? Like, they must have someone talking to the pilots going, okay, ready, he's about to do the further

and ready, and go, go, go, go, go. No, but like when I'm in my car and I punch in an address, the GPS tells me I'll be there in like six minutes. So don't you think the fighter, Jessica, well, Charlie Purs, national anthem, he said is 240. So we'll just circle around, work out until... Yeah, that's exactly how it works,

but they put it in their GPS. Google Maps say, you're going to two minutes 40 from the stadium and they go perfect. And if it's going to be at 250 they just speed up, I guess. I mean, you don't want it slightly before or slightly after it just wouldn't have the same effect.

It was perfect timing. Yeah, I mean, America has batted a lot of things at the moment, but they're good at that. Timing a fighter jet formation flyover. This was the stat that shocked me, though, yesterday. Obviously, lots of people around the country in America having parties to watch the Super Bowl.

A lot of chicken wings consumed yesterday 148 billion chicken wings were consumed yesterday which is enough to stretch around the world three times if you put each chicken wings side by side isn't that unbelievable all the chickens were all like holding hands

no this is just the chicken wings so if you put the chicken wings like end and like some sort of rope formation it would stretch around the earth three times 1.48 billion chicken wings. That's unreal. Shocking, eh. Well, and that was just...

Just in America. Just yesterday. The chicken industry must love that day. That's the... It's not the type of scandal you're going to get with Meg. I don't feel like she'd be sharing a stat like that as a vegetarian. No, she wouldn't like that. But it'd still blow her away. Blow her away, I reckon.

Yeah. She's probably driving in right now. Gobbsmacked. Yeah, I'm going, oh, what a scandal. God, I would have missed that if I'd been here on time. Yeah. So there you go, I don't have the scandal thing. You know that Meg does that.

Okay, cool. So you want me to do that then? Yeah, that's not my job. I was not going to hear being like, hey, go do the scandal tag. All right, scandals, all thanks to Beach Volleyball, world-class beach volleyball played right in our backyard. You did that perfectly. Thanks, man.

Appreciate that. Meg should be here next, I reckon. Yeah, sure. First call of the day. We've got a vow to give you a so you can go spend his store its head. Just for your troubles? Oh, 800 the edge. Let us know what's going on.

Did you watch the game? Couldn't care less. Didn't know the score. Didn't know who was playing. Now Meg has text through saying yes. I don't know if that means she'll be here next or she's blown away by that chicken wing scandal. I think the chicken wings stuff. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.

Time for first call of the day. First call of the day. First call of the day. Going to Carpity Coast this morning. I haven't been there in a while. Yeah. Morning, Rachel. Good morning.

How are you? Good. Or should I call you Ratshit as your dick name? Oh. Yes. They do. You can spell it one or two ways. Thank God.

I was just like, Dad is coming out of a gate real hot. No, we've been given some information about you, Rachel. It says that is your nickname. I just made that up. No, it is. It is my nickname. I've had that since I was quite young.

How? Why? I have no patience when it comes to my family being sick. Like two days next, that's it. All right. I've got some very specific thing. And obviously, you're known for it. to get a nickname for it.

So if someone was still coughing day three, I'll ratchet and be like, oh, suck it up, mate. Go to work, like no one wants to hear that. It's pretty much. Yeah. Okay. Oh, look, I love a nickname and that's one of my faves. Yeah.

I work as a community worker. You drive a Red Swift. You're an Ares and you've got a cat called Harley. What sort of community worker are you doing, Rachel? Like, support work. Oh, right, support worker. Yeah, and the exact same thing that I have no patience for with my family. I support you, but only for 48 hours.

If you need even longer support, are you going to find someone else? Come on, mate, get back on your feet. About enough. You had two days off. That's so funny. What is it? Was your mum quite limited in her empathy, like, growing up?

Is it stemmed down from that? No, mum was very, you know, very, had a lot of empathy. It's just way back in the 70s. I think there was a program called one who flew over the cuckoo's nest. Oh, yes, yes. There was a movie. And Nurse Ratchett is on there. Yeah, and that's where it comes from.

Okay. Well, we're going to wrap this up, Rachel, because you're going to get sick of this and get over it. Oh, Meg's arrived. Here she is, makeup and everything. Oh, my gosh, I did this in the cave. Oh, good morning, Meg. You know what you can't get in the back door after six? Can you?

No, clearly, it's apparently a rule. Is that the reason you're late? Couldn't get the back door. Sorry, yeah. Right. Ray's just said morning, but you didn't have headphones on. Oh, hi, Rach, good morning. Good morning.

How's your morning been? She's fed up with this break. She has got the patience. Yeah. You know, Rach has got a small attention span. I'm going to give you a voucher. Go spend in store a Z if you love noodles and chicken. You can get amongst the new chicken miso noodle salad if you like.

Or you spend on whatever the hell you like, Rach. Oh, thank you so much. That's made my day. See you, ratchet. Love you, mate. You're a great. Yeah. Beautiful part of the country is about the Carpetty Coast.

Oh, it's gorgeous there. 1.4 billion chicken wings? Is it? I knew she'd like that. Yes. No, Dan said 134 billion. No, 1.3.4. Oh, well, on here, he said 134 billion, and I was like,

I assumed he was wrong. Yeah. No, that's what you said, wasn't? No, that's, okay, this is what happened in my head. Can we go back and check the tape? It's now that's going to do with me. I said 100 billion, and you said, I guess, too high. But then you said $134 billion.

And I was like, well, actually, he didn't guess too high. Yes, thank you, man. Yeah, I heard it in the car. Sorry, Dad. Oh, bugger, did I? So it's only 1.34. Oh, it's not that in breath. Not even that many chickens.

That's quite a bit. Yeah. Clint, Megan, Dan. Spinky boots. It's time to get naughty at 640. I was watching, well, actually more like the highlights yesterday while the kids were getting down

and doing whatever they needed to do. And there was a part that you might have seen that our friend Ash London, who does the afternoon show, that got, she got very excited because Ricky Martin came on stage. Oh, she loves Ricky Martin to the point where I think it's an unhealthy obsession. Oh, I felt bad for her husband. I wonder if he watched that and goes, she never looks at me like that. Because he looks nothing like Ricky Martin.

I'd be worried defies him. Yeah, but also Ricky's gay. Mm. Yeah, true. Very gay. So she's really... I mean, Adrian gives me a little bit of a vibe at that. She's pining after a guy who will never return.

her love. Exactly. It's sad. There's this video, if you want to check it out, on their social as the Ash London show, where it's the moment she sees on the screen, Ricky Martin come on and she's screaming and she's jumping and she's like looking to the skies, looking to heaven. And I'm watching

this and I've got to smile on my face because I know how much Ash loves Ricky Martin. And good on her. And my husband's over my shoulder watching it at the same time. We're watching it through and she's screaming and jumping and he goes, is Ash a little bit? And I cut him off. I said on the spectrum.

I don't think so. I'm not sure though, and I think most of us in radio are. And he goes, no, Puerto Rican. Oh, God. Right. Well, no, I don't think that either. He's so. Yeah.

I don't think you have to be Puerto Rican to like Rikian. No, no, you don't. I think he just had a moment of thinking, huh, could she be, you know? I mean, she's from Australia, and I think Ricky Martin over there for support. Every reason I think he's been on the voice and stuff. He's quite famous in Australia.

He's done a lot of stuff over there So I wonder if that's got a lot to do with it. Oh, is that what it is? But she does love him, eh, Clint? You guys would have seen it firsthand. She went over to Ricky Martin. She took like a day off like last year. I had to cover, I think, for her covering me.

That's right. For her to see Ricky Martin. Yeah. And we were talking about getting Ricky Martin into, well, on the show or maybe on a Zoom for her as like a surprise. But she was like, don't do that. Honestly, she's like, I'll burst into tears. I won't be able to be professional.

I thought she was joking, but after seeing the video, perhaps not. I mean, of all the people to be obsessed with, he'd be far down the list for me. It's an odd pick, but, you know, we can't choose who we're obsessed with really. I mean, she probably thinks it's weird that I'm obsessed with Celine. Is this the clip of her seeing Ricky Martin? As a cameo during a bad bunny halftime performance at the Super Bowl. Sounds like Yaz is obsessed with him too.

There she goes. That's been my... I think he heard that. And he was like, oh, she put her in a screen on the spectrum. I think she probably just knows the lyrics to some of his songs, maybe. They were tears, it was amazing, good on her. Yeah, well. Man, do you look at anyone else like that?

Is there anyone for you that you go absolutely nuts over? Bonkers over? Yeah, oh, 100th maybe, is there like a celebrity that you've never met, like you obviously love their music or their movies or whatever it is, but they've made such an impression on you without ever having met them. Yeah. It'll bring you to tears if you see them on stage or if you ever found out that they'd passed. you would be an absolute mess.

I don't really understand that personally because there's no one for me. I don't know why Phil Collins would be sitting on stage at the Super Bowl, but if he went up, I'd be pretty excited. I'm a lackbust of performance. I'm a lot of Lord. But again, I don't know why he'd be at the Super Bowl.

I know the lackluster performance. They're both about, collectively, be 150 years old. You shall not pass! And the Patriots are like, yeah, well, nothing's working at the moment anyway, so even our running game's a bit shit, to be on. Something for the, you know.

some for the footballist. You'd lose it if it was Megan Fox, Clint. Yeah, I think so. You go and a lick at the knees. What did he be reacting like that because of Megan Foxx? She'd be like, I'm out. Yeah, be cool, be cool. Dan, she was never in.

She's not going to say, I'm out. I don't know. Oh, don't. Clint, Megan, Dan. Dan, Dan, 10 grand on the line with easy money in 10 minutes. Also, after 8 o'clock, This morning, John Eakin is going to be on the show with us. Season 13 of Merritt at First Side Australia aired last night.

And he's done all 13 seasons, right. He must be on some big bucks. He's a rich boy. Yeah. Do you reckon it's the only gig he has to do? Yes. Oh my gosh. It's Australia.

You know there money over here compared to us. Anything's crazy. I mean, radio money is crazy in Australia, guys. You have no idea. And then if you do TV. Yeah, Kyle and Jack. I mean, how much are they on? They're on 10 million each a year.

And that's very public. That's crazy. They do, I know they do it to a lot more people, but they do what we do. They do a breakfast show if you don't know Carl and Jackie O. So you can only imagine if TV is normally more than radio, but over an Aussie. 10 million.

And if you think of that, Meg's only on a quarter of that. Exactly. And he does it to 120 countries. He's got to get a little pay out of all of those. I mean, I guess he's not working all year. So he start thinking... He would be like, keep the seasons going until... I did the day I died.

Do you reckon he doesn't do anything else? We should have asked him, but I don't know. You're getting quite personal with him. But he probably does other little bits and pieces because he gets asked to. But he probably doesn't need to because maybe that would be enough to keep him afloat. Clint's dream gig. He does one season, once a year, and gets paid millions. On a show that keeps being renewed.

Yeah. I saw a thing on his Instagram the other day where he said sold his house and he was like new beginnings. And it was a photo of his old house. Absolute mansion. Oh, John Aiken. John Aiken. I was like Blowing away by the photo of it

Wow okay well It comes with the price Because we did talk to him after being on the air 13 seasons I noticed he started copping a little bit of hate Towards the end of last year With like journalists like following him into car parks And stuff trying to get comments About things that he said

And whether he stands by certain things And he said yeah it happens a lot I remember at a cafe one time I was sitting there talking to a mate And she would have been about 65 She just leant over, tapped me on the shoulder I said, look, I just need to tell you, I find you disgusting. Oh, God.

She did not. Yeah, yeah, she did. She was probably a nana. Yeah, she was a nana. And I'm like, you guys have probably been in this situation. You've got to kill them all the time. So I'm like, look, I really appreciate that honesty. I mean, it's not for everyone our show,

but I love the fact that you wanted to reach out and tell me that. Oh, my God. You need to follow John A, what is it, John Aiken? John Aiken Live on Instagram. I imagine he's public, and he's just got a photo of his house. Well, we assume it's his house. He just says on to new beginnings, the next chapter or something. It looks like something out of a...

Bridgeton, almost. Bridgeton. Yeah, like a classic movie. Massive pool at the front, like one of those huge pools, beautiful house. Oh, good on him. And that's all just from Marriott at First Site. Well, he's probably done a lot of relationship stuff to get the Marriott at First Site gig in the beginning. I just be honest, he's putting couples together that would never go together.

Yeah, if you read the rumours online, some people say he doesn't even have a degree. He usually used to be a cricketer. He did. Well then if he used to be a professional cricket, he's probably made a lot of money doing that as well. But he's a lovely, lovely guy. He is, yeah. He's the nicest.

And I mean, obviously he's on a show that can be, let's be honest, rather toxic at times. But he's on it, so he needs to keep playing ball. And I think he does a very good job of, you know, when we try to chat to him and put him into a corner. He's the best. Yeah, he's very good at going, well, yes, like he makes a good point. When he's peering these people up,

they do put on a mask and pretend they are a certain type of person. John only gets a little bit of time with them before deciding, putting them on the show, and then two weeks later, how often has that happened where you've gone on a first day, think they're the love of your life, and then two weeks later, you're like, what the hell is this person? Yeah. I don't recognise you. Yeah, he's very good. He'd be a master debate.

Hey, anybody would be good at it if you're getting a house like that. Paul, beautiful house, the salary he's on. I'd do it. Well, if you missed the first step and you want to catch up, three now. It'll be up there right now. She's a bit of a marathon, generally, the old married at first sight, but a hell of a watch. Clint, Meg and Dan.

Jonas Brothers Waffle House. I like that tune. It's good. Oh, it's so good. Yeah, I bloody love the Jonas Brothers. You would. What's that supposed to mean? I just mean you, honestly, if there was a quiz, Nightmare,

10 million dollars, who out of your friends do you think would love the Jonas Brothers? Dick, tick, to, tick, tick, doc. be like Clint. What is this? Who wants to be a billion? Yeah. That's me. I don't know if you've seen the show

but that's not always. It's all very personal questions. Which one of your friends thinks this woman is hot? Megan Fox. Clint? Clint again. Whoa!

Oh, for the... Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Thank you. Yeah. Oh, wait, let me have a phone of friend. Dan. Do you think Clint would find her? I don't know, Meg, to be honest.

What is this show? A bromantic fiction is up after 7 o'clock. Meg has got Dan's. romantic fiction. Have you had a bit of a read-through this morning yet? Yeah, I'm having to skim because he said this morning, what was your words exactly? Oh, I think the words were, I struggled.

Oh, I thought you were saying you nailed it and you kept Meg up late last night. Well, no, I think I came out with a good final edit. Right. But I think Meg, I did wonder whether it kept you up last night. No, Dad, it didn't. I don't know. My children kept me out last night. not your terrible attempt at writing a sexual fiction. Look, I knew it was going to happen. The kebabs were going to get in your heads.

I feel like there's a lot of... I knew what's going to happen with so bad story. It's a cab-based story. Yeah, which is actually the true part of the story. Me Cute is a little mundane about how her and Chris just met at a cab store at like 1am or something. And so it's our job to take this true story and just level up the lust. It's hard to make a kebab sexy. Could I just say?

It's really hard because you had to include that. It's not even that I'm concerned about. You've done that thing again where I don't know if you've done the wrong word or meant what you said. So you said... Oh, let me edit it. No, I'm not going to. You said, without flinch and he jumped down off the road cone and slowly sauteed towards me. That's supposed to be sauntered.

Yeah, I just thought it. Now we can change it. He's sauteing. Full story, kill and above to seven. Clint, Megan Dan. The Edge. The Edge is easy money. Here's your shot at $10,000.

Here we go. 10 grand on the line if you can give us 10 answers. Starting with the letter me gives you inside 30 seconds. The cash is yours, he can pass. If we've got time, we'll come back, but no repeated answers.

We're going to Nelson this morning. Laney, first time call her as well. Wow! Oh my God. Giney! Let's hope the first time you call we can make 10 grand. How good would that be?

That was so good. So good. Okay. $10,000. A lot of money. game changer. Okay. You want to take your kids on a holiday? That seems to be quite the common thing.

Yeah. People come back from summer, already keen to book the next one. Why not? Exactly, right? Somebody who hasn't been on a family holiday before, I can't believe how they are like 10K and up. Oh, that's like, and you don't know.

That's the going right now. Below my mind. And then the crazy thing is your three-year-old is a full adult fear. So stupid. Right, okay, Lain. Here we go, let's give you two. K. Your letter this morning is Al. Al Falani. Great.

Yes, Al Falani. Of course. Perfect. Okay, your time starts at the end of me asking your first question for $10,000. Here we go. You can do it. Give me an animal. Lima. Some that you can drink. Lemonade. A Disney film. Pah. A kitchen utensil.

Oh God. Pa. A sport with a ball. Oh, pass. Something you'd find in a study. A study? Yes. A light. A makeup brand.

Oh, my God. Lainty. Let's just say that was really good. Yeah, well, yeah. Let's just forget what happened. I didn't think I'd get through and then, yeah. Well, I'd take getting through as the win there. I had laid all for a sport.

I'm sorry, I had lacrosse for a sport. You would have got that. Yeah, ladle, lemon squeezer. That was a hard one. La Crosse, Lawn Boles. Lady and the Tramp, Lilo and Stitch for the Disney film. But those are very hard, Lainey. I'm very sorry. It's all good.

It's all good. I'll keep trying. Yeah, give it a go. You have to be better next time. Dan. Good on you. Pick aside, mate. Did she do great or not great? Well, I was just trying to figure her up because let's be honest. It wasn't the greatest show.

It was at 2 over 4. The Leany. No, I got three from the six she answered because she passed the other three. Back again at 8 o'clock, your chance to play for 10. Grand. Clint, Megan Dan. Time for a bit of romantic fiction in the lead-up to Valentine's Day, which is this Saturday. We gave you the opportunity to hit us with your Monday Meekute Story, which, you know, cool. Everyone gets together in different ways, but when people ask, how did you and your partner end up together?

The story's just kind of meh. Yeah. And so Dan has taken a bit of creative license with Sophie's Meekute story that her and Chris had about meeting in a kebab store. Hey, Sophie, you're about to hear it for the first time, but I wanted to quickly recap everybody listening, your story which was you went to town then you ended up at a kebab shop some point in the night you got a kebab you

started talking to Chris you exchanged social medias and then a few weeks later you talk to each other right that's about it yeah that's I wish it was a bit more exciting so do we yeah well hey don't worry about it because Dan's job

today is to make it that much more exciting so you have a listen to the story that Dan has cooked up and And then we'll get your thoughts at the back of that. Can I just say before Meg starts, very hard to make a kebab, meat, cute, sexy. That's all I'm going to say.

Well, yeah. I do think the story proves that. Okay. We go to jam. Enough. I told my staff as my thighs began to burn. I've been dropping it low all night and my body couldn't take any more. There's nothing here for me.

I told myself as I grooved my way to the door, my body knowing, sorry, my body moving in time to Nelly, hot in here. I could tell every set of eyes were fixed on the junk in my trunk as I left You got a bit of a caboose soph You got a good butt Okay, we'll move on Sorry, I talk artistic merit there, sorry

I've never seen you bit But I wasn't interested I was gagging for a kebab And nobody was going to get in my way Or so I thought That's until I saw the man I knew I was going to marry He was Can I quickly stop

Dan, have you seen a photo of Chris? No, I've never seen him in my life. Clearly, clearly not. Clearly not. Here we go. Yeah, yeah. He was strikingly handsome and classy, but with a hint of gangster. Bad boy. Think Prince Harry mixed with Jason Statham and a hint of usher.

Now imagine that. Is that not the most attractive man you've ever seen? I'm trying to put together a puzzle that doesn't quite. Right, fixed. Okay. He was effortlessly sitting on a road cone. Oh, Dad. There's...

Dad, he's having a little fun time. He's sitting on a road cone. Like, you know how you sit on... It's not a sitting spot, but he's sort of sitting on it, like... I think she interrupted him. If he's sitting on a road cone. No. Sort of sitting there.

That would be, honestly, such an ick if I saw a man sitting on a road cone, personally. But, sorry, this is Sophie's story. He was effortlessly. He's effortlessly sitting on a road cone. Eadier kebab. As I moved closer, I could tell it was my usual order, lamb with mayo and Saziki.

He clearly had good taste. Any chance you want to share that kebab? I yelled playfully as I undid the button on my blouse to reveal my breasts. She's in the street, Dad. She's like, oh, Sophie, don't laugh. This is your story, okay? She's outside of the feet.

I should have said part of them. She's not getting her full boobies out. Just like a bit of cleave. It's just a cab. Right. Without flinching, he jumped down off the road cone and slowly sauteed towards me. Saunted. Sortaid is what it says.

Okay, that's an order to correct. Within seconds, we were face to face. Oh my. So intense. Hey, you know what to help? Sexiness, you go, oh, my God. So, wait, she was walking like a crab, like, so that she was, like, shoulder to shoulder.

And then at one point she finally, within seconds, turned around so she could face. Okay. You can have the rest. He whispered in my ear, making me giggle. As long as you eat it in the Uber back to my. plays. Oh, I thought that was quite a nice line.

Smooth line, I thought, is they giggle. But what if you get hungry later? I retorted, or you can see where this is going. Sophie, I'm sorry. He looked at the floor and then bit his lip and looked back up at me. That's hot. Deep into my soul.

No, it is. It's so not. Sophie, can you imagine a man looking down at the ground and then taking his time to look back up at you, biting his lip? It's disgusting. Remember, he looks like, and Jason Statham combined.

And Prince Harry. Yeah. That's a three-person mix. Don't worry, he said with an knowing wink, I have a feeling if I'm playing my cards right, I might have a midnight helping of taco. Take it your reflection and telling your best friend like her. I think my butt getting been.

What do you think so? A bit of artistic license, Dan, leveled up the lust. What do you think of your new METCude story? That was, it was a lot. That's, yeah. Wow, that's kind of a bit lost for words. All right, Claire, that means you've got an opportunity here. I've got 24 hours to ride something better,

and we'll Meg will read it to you same time tomorrow. And you can let us know, who did it better? I mean, can't wait. Oh, my God, she's speechless. I think it's better than her original. Let's be honest. It was just meeting in a cabab shop. Yeah, I'll give you that, actually.

Thanks, Clint. I won't give him that. It's awful. The road cone stuff was a bit of a low point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's creepy. Why is he sitting on top of it? Clint, Meg and Dan.

Gendell with Meg. The Super Bowl halftime show. We're going to be going through all the stats a little bit later in the show, but some of the standout things that everybody's talking about is, of course, the turning point halftime show that they put on specifically to weirdly try and hijack bad bunny. Benito's performance which was with

Kid Rock, I think. So you had Benito, who is Bad Bunny, doing this incredible cultural, amazing halftime show where it was very inclusive of all of America. And there was a lot of hidden references to his culture

within it. I thought it was really cool about his is that obviously he was the star but he also wasn't. Throughout it was he moved with his dancers and they were all on the same level. It wasn't like he was above, the whole time he felt like he was a part of this community sort of dance or performance together.

I really like that. Hundreds of people dressed as trees, which I thought was great. That's what you would have got, Dan. Yeah, I would have been like tree number nine. Yeah, I saw these people looking like they were getting fake married. They got really married, like in the Super Bowl halftime show, which is really cool. So 135 million people watched the Super Bowl performance,

which is the most since Justin Timberlake's 2018 Super Bowl halftime show. So it's the most popular Super Bowl halftime show in terms of views in the last eight years. Gosh, it's amazing. But if you don't like it. But if you don't like it. He said it was the worst of all times. Oh, he hated it. He was not a happy name.

He was not a word of English. Can't understand what's going on. Interesting though, because there was another halftime performance put on for, I guess, people like him, which was Kid Rock. But he didn't even watch that one because he was watching bad bunnies and hating it. Five million watched the alternate halftime show, Which was this? The live in proof

with the gift to gas from the city of truth You know what stabs bad And not critics back Handed to watch some video for this It's just a whole load

of Republicans standing in a room And it looks like there's only maybe 30 of them Just one dude on stage And they're all just kind of Rocking to this And they're all old boomers

I saw one Afterparty One of the after parties Which is the one I would have wanted to go to Not that I saw any of the others But I thought I'd quite like to be there

I've got a little bit of audio and a bounce back Cube to 3334 3 It is Ice Cube for me at a bar which I thought, I know, right? But then if you look at who's in the like Mosh pit, it's Toby Maguire,

the old Spider-Man, and Leonardo DiCaprio. They're besties. They're like best mates. I don't know that. Those do I have had a hell of a time to Ice Cube. They have had a good night. They have bopping to this.

How funny. I know. And I was like, what a fun. You have to see it Cube to 3, 3, 3. You can see a Leonardo DiCaprio and Toby Maguire just honestly even the best time dancing to Ice Cube. So, thank a good night.

It's like a movie. I know, right? Just going back to the tweet that Donald Trump released straight after the performance from Bad Bunny. I saw a TikTok last night that was saying that he must have had it

pre-written because it was tweeted literally like seconds after the performance finish. So it was almost like there was a person trying to type as fast as he could have. Some people were saying... And it was impossible.

So it's almost like he had it written and he just went post straight after it because he knew it was going. going to be not to his liking. Yeah, he said it was the absolute terrible, one of the worst ever made no sense. It was, again, so funny because they put on a show so he didn't have to watch it and he still watched it.

So, you know, just an idea. Yeah. Very interesting. Yeah, he's the least important and least interesting part of the whole performance. So we will go through the stats coming up in a few minutes. Yeah. Next, though, we were talking about cringeries on the show yesterday. Oh, God, are we going back into that?

Yeah, we were, and then dated with the amount of people who, after Meg you were saying you're no longer allowed to use. The microplaying. Yeah, banned after opening yourself up on it twice. And so we wanted to know what are you banned from using, which typically is a story that's attached to it. And we just didn't get to everybody's. Well, that's a shame.

Well, that's what happens. Meg removes their headphones and walks out of the studio clip. I can't stand it. I don't know how anybody listens. We're some duct tape. No, don't eat. Yeah. To a head.

Yeah. Let's do that. Come on. in her chair, so she's going to unplug them. Yeah, so we'll go through some of the ones that we didn't get to yesterday, and the greatest crindery story. One of the best that I've ever heard, we'll recap for you that won yesterday.

Clint Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. And we're just talking about Zoe Swadowski-Sinnett, and the fact that she's in the finals for the big year. You're saying, Dan, 730, which is now. Right now. She's about to jump for gold in the woman snowboarding big ear. So hope we'll keep you posted.

Yeah. How good. So exciting. the hopes of the nation behind you. Yesterday, Meggy, you were talking about how you're not allowed to use a certain item because you've injured yourself not once but twice now. Yeah, I get this from my mum who is also somebody who has cut, you know, fingers and stuff off in the past from knives and gone to hospital. God, what is she doing? Mum, oh, mum is just extremely confident with her skills that I would say,

average. I don't think that's a bad confidence then if she has to do it. I know, but I quite like that. I like that. She's kind of like Clint, blindingly confident. When it comes through what she can do. He's got all his fingers still, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, speaking of sharp knives, Naz, has a story for you, Mick. Oh, yes. Good, like keeping your headphones on. Morning, Naz. Morning, how are you? Good. What was your cringery? Okay, so I was about 13, and my mum got married,

and the catererers came, and they had all these beautiful knives, super, super sharp. And a big, big, big ham on a bone, and they'd cut it into this big big big big big big big. and you had to hold onto the bone of the ham on one side and cut it in a V. And as I went to cut a piece, it kind of ricocheted off the bone of the ham

and sliced through the top of my thumb, opening the top of my knuckle, and it just sort of, all the skin just fell apart and exposed all the knuckle, and the blood went everywhere. Oh, exposed the knuckle. That would have stolen focus. Holy moly.

Oh, that's so rough. It's like you wouldn't have felt the pain instantly until you see the bone and then you go, it's like your brain takes a few seconds to click in, right? Yeah, I literally just went, oh, why is that white? Oh, my God. And it's been just kind of flopped open. Oh, okay, thanks. Now, as Michelle's got a cringery as well.

Meek's still here. This is one from school when they just let you use, like, tools in the woodwork class with no training or experience. No, Michelle, if Meg's still here by the end of your story, I'll be shocked. What was the cringery? Good morning, so I was 9 at high school and in the woodwork room making

a wooden spoon and I was sanding it on the belt sander and it flipped out from my hands and my hand touched the belt. She's gone we've lost her.

Yeah, she tried. So after it touched the belt I lost the pad of my index finger down to the bone. Down to the first knuckle. So I lost the whole pad to my finger. Oh my God.

It still shocks me to this day that there's woodwork available in the way. Especially with those machines. You just slipped and just touched it. And within seconds, all the skins straight down to the bone. Yep. Yep. Not only has Meg taken her headphones off, but she's walked completely over to the other side of the studio.

And so I have to kind of repeat what you're saying so she can hear it. I'm forcing her to listen. You poor thing. How is it now? Did it grow back? Some of it. It's missing about half of my pointy pad.

I mean, it's a good story to tell the grandkids and the radio. I was saying, like, yeah, you wouldn't be able to get one of those, like, thumbprint, like, safes. You know, that you're having the movies. Yeah, like James Bond uses. Yeah. You wouldn't have one of those. I imagine it takes away all you're, like, thumbprint. You don't grow a thumbprint back there.

No. Does your thumbprint grow back? No, well, in my case, there's a smooth bit on the quarter of my thumbprint from the shape now. Let's not pretend that you grating a little bit of your finger off is the same as her one, though. I didn't! You are... It's not the same, me. Come on. You're saying, oh, I've lost my thumbprint altogether. No, I did. It's no longer, even though she's a grown-ass adult, to be able to use a microplane because she's had a couple too many injuries.

And we took calls on cringeries. This was the one that won yesterday. Meg, you never actually heard the end of the story because you had to take your headphones off. I was trying to disguise some broccoli as you do as a parent and had the thick blender out. It gets clogged up. I put my finger in to unclog it. And then accidentally my other hand...

We've lost her. We lost her, Jackson. It was horrific. It was like a murder thing. There was blood all over the walls and the beach. And then the dog came and while I was trying to lie on the floor and not pass out, the dog has kind of cleaned up half the men.

Oh! I had to go to A&A and get all the broccoli sort of picked out of it. Okay. That's the bit where the dog came in, no. But it's a great warning because a lot of people do use stick blenders. Never clear out the stick blender

while it's still plugged out. No, no, and I learned that from my mum too. I mean, there's so many stories coming about woodwork classes. Yeah. People getting injured. And this one in particular, our woodwork teacher accidentally cut off the nub of her finger

demonstrating to the class with a skill saw it's almost like she would have been like and that's not how to do it I don't know that's not how to use a skill saw I can't express how much I hate this segment that we do this is not like I can't every part of my body is just wanting to leave the room

but we'll go to Ellie morning Ellie Ellie so this wasn't in a woodwork class was it? No no I was eating a hamburger and talking now I know you shouldn't do that at the same time and I laughed and sucked an entire piece of beet troops down my throat.

It sealed my windpipe. Oh, my God. And I thought I was going to die. Yeah, terrifying. It took a while for people to know I was in trouble. Oh, that's so scary. But it saw my eye and came running and someone homeless me. And it worked.

It flew out like a magic trip. That's incredible. Thank God the person was around. Was it a stranger? And I was, suddenly enough, a teacher aide from my school, and we were both at a random pony club night. So we were way away from where in the end. could save me.

So yeah, she tried the slapping on the back, and that didn't work in picking me up, and then I'm like that. The panic. So that works, people. Thank goodness you're still with us, because imagine Ali if you went choking on a burger. What a way to go, you know?

I know, but I still love Beatrix. My favourite. Oh, that's good, because I thought you would have had PTSD from that. I'd be like, no more. I wouldn't touch another piece of it. Chloe. Chloe, first time caller. Oh, really?

First time you call her, this is what's gotten you out of the woodwork? Hey? Yeah She's cracking up Yeah So what happened Is it a year 7 woodwork What happened?

What happened? Yeah so I just vividly remember Being in year 7 woodwork And using a soldering iron I can't remember What we were making But I think I turned to the side Because I got distracted

And as I turned My other hand moved And then I ended up soldering My arm And I just vividly remember Like looking at my skin and it was just bubbling. Oh, God.

Oh, Meg's gone again. She's gone. Her bones are gone. The thing is, you're so right. Like, Woodwork class is just filled with implements that kill people. Yeah, yeah. And they just let kids go for it. Yeah, that's crazy.

Maybe they don't do that anymore. I don't know. We'll end on this one. This is a text that just came through me. Oh! And you can't escape this, because I'll just tell you right now. I was in woodwork class. You're 11.

When a girl got her hair stuck in the lathe. No, I can't do it. Oh, no, no, no. I don't know what happened. Yeah, I can imagine. Clint, Megan Dan. Oh, my gosh. Oh, say, can you see.

What a performance, Charlie Puth, opening up the Super Bowl 60 with the national anthem. I have a little bit of audio, I think, on my scandal, Clint, of his reaction after he did it. Of Charlie Puth's reaction? Yeah, Adam Sandler. Yeah. No, well, no, Adam Sandler, he was talking about, um, the halftime show, I thought it got a little bit of Charlie saying about how amazing it was.

He was like, we pulled something off epic. And after he's seen it and hearing it, he wasn't exaggerating. Yeah, I think Bad Bunny's performance was so epic in itself. Yes. I think a lot of people aren't talking about Charlie Puth because he was incredible too, right? Yeah, he was very proud, though. He knew how good it was. If anyone's wondering why

Adam Sandler was asked to comment on Bad Bunny's performances, because Bat Bunny plays the caddy for Adam Sandler and Happy Gilmore too. To their friends. Yeah. Oh, Benita was unbelievable. loose, happy, made everybody ecstatic. I loved it. And congrats to the bunny.

He's a great human being. Yeah, everyone loves them. I don't know what the fumble is there. Obviously, people just break up, but Kendall Jenner and him used to date, and they dated for quite a decent amount of time. I don't know. I used to think, like, did he fumble her? But I think she might have fumbled him.

I mean, you know, like afterwards who won the breakup? I think he went. He goes on to do the Super Bowl and win a Grammy. Like right after the breakup? He's doing pretty well. Yeah, he's doing very well for himself. All right, I've got some stats here. The record breaking price for a premium 10-second commercial slot.

30 seconds, 10 million. This is in US dollars, so what, about 18, 20 million New Zealand dollars just for 30 seconds, let alone, that's just for the spot. So then if you think about the people that got, like, Pringle's got Sabrina Carpenter, how much they would have had to pay her, and also the people to edit it, to film it, to shoot it. Production, yeah. Production. I think there was a Matt Damon Ben Affleck one, so that would have been their price tags.

True. So it would have been a lot of money. The spot would be the cheap part, to be honest. Quarterback Sam Darnold earned a $40 million salary this season. But how much did he earn per day then for when he was playing? If you guys can... I mean, if you've taken that over the days that he's actually like playing and training or over the whole year, you'd go a million wouldn't you at least?

What's that per day? I don't know. Don't do the bass. Well, that's only 40 days. The season's much longer than that day. Your mass is terrible. $92,000. He made nearly six figures every 24 hours,

regardless of whether it was the game day. Really? So even if it was just like a rest day, or he didn't have training, he still making almost six figures 100 grand. The winner's share bonus money that each Seattle Seahawks player received. This year was $171,000 American dollars.

It was the record amount for 2026, per the collective bargaining agreement. and also another record-breaking number, the total consumer spending for Super Gear, which is Super Bowl stuff, which is gear, food, TVs hit a record high of $20.2 American billion.

Oh, it's just, I know, can't you, don't, I mean... And Dan, I had a stat early this morning about the amount of chicken wings that we consumed. I do the stat around the world because I think that's actually... Yeah, it was $1.48 billion,

which is enough chicken wings to circle the earth three times. I mean, that in itself blows my mind. It just is, I don't know, do you guys, does it make you feel a little bit icky? Does it make you feel a little bit icky when you think about, like, it's just a crazy world we live in?

How about it's a chicken wing? No, no, not even just about the chickens, just all of it, just all the consumerism of like, for watching a game. To be fair, let's be honest, most people aren't even really watching during the season, and then they all get obsessed with the final, like the Super Bowl.

But they haven't even been following either, team, but I think it's all records because people just want that escapism this year. They just want to, they just want to watch some footy and have a chicken wing. Yeah, and pretend that America's not burning. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, that's probably why. Yeah, that'll be why. All right, you got four minutes until we give you a crack at winning 10,000 bucks with easy money. And hopefully an update on Zoe Siddowski-Sinnett in the big air. She did her first one, didn't land it, so she's got one more chance. Come on, Zoe.

any minute now. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. The Edge. The Edge's easy money. Here's your shot at $10,000. Good morning. It is two past eight. Thank you, Glenn.

We're keeping an eye on Zoe's performance, hoping that she might get a medal at the Winter Olympics. Yeah. In the big air, so it's round two. Now there's 12. So I think she's 12th. So maybe in the next 10 minutes we'll get a result. Obviously, you can jump.

Cool. In the meantime, 10,000 bucks on the line right now. You can give us 10 answers, starting with the letter me gives you, and Z in 30 seconds cash is yours. He can pass. If we've got time, we'll come back, but no repeated answers. It's Charlotte's first time calling.

Oh, that's got you out of the work. Wouldn't it be epic to win 10k on your first time? Oh my God. You're through. You're through, Charlotte. Okay, here we go. Are you ready? I'm ready.

Go, go, go. Okay, okay. Let's do this. You've got two of your sons getting married this year, is that correct? That's correct. September and October. You breed them different in Northland Day? And that's an expensive year.

Absolutely. Yeah. Happy. Okay. Hopefully not to each other. Okay, right. Here we go. Your letter is in for Northlands.

Okay, end for Northland. Okay, you can do this. Time starts at the end of Meg asking you the first question. 10,000 bucks on the line. Here we go. Good luck. I'm standing. Let's do this.

Give me a fruit. A band. Nelly. Something that you can read. Novel. A pop song title. Next. A sports brand.

Oh, no. That was number eight. That was number eight. Wow, just getting a bit more pace. Very good. Wow. Holy heck. Women just getting through.

Yeah, that's the spirit, Charlotte. We've won talking to you. So thank you very much. Yeah, hopefully. Amazing. You guys have a great thing. Yeah, you too. Good luck paying for the boys'

boys' weddings. Hopefully the in-laws help chip in on those. That is expensive, eh? You go, one of you have it next year, please. Yeah, come on. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. And just gave you the chance to win 10 grand with easy money. another chance for you to get your hand on $10,000.

Thanks to Matt. We've flipped him a text already said we were going to give him a call because he's the one with the money and he wants to give it to you. So let's hope he picks up this morning. Matt, it's Clint Megan Dan here from the HAL you, mate. Ah, good thanks, man. Now, Meg and I have both seen your, well,

I want to say lost dog posters, but I think it said stolen dog posters in West Auckland with a $10,000 reward. Dog napped. Oh man, she's my mate. She comes with me to work. I'm a tradey. I shoot horses for a living.

So we go from farm to farm, shooting people's horses. No shoeing, Meg, not shooting. Shoeing. He does shoe. No, no. Shoeing. Ferrier.

Farrier. Meag thought you were shooting people's horses. I was like, I guess someone's got to do it if the horse is sick. But Jesus. If the horse in the way, he goes, shoe, shoot, like that. No, they go away.

What's your name, by the way? Phadies. Is she a border collie? Yeah, brown, right? Border collie. Beautiful, beautiful girl. So what happens? How does she get stolen?

I mean, she was without the work. We were in Cumi, at one of the blocks there, and she just went missing. She had a tracker on her, and she had a tracker on her. And she just vanished, and the tracker got, we were told by the manufacturers of the tracker that it either had a battery removed or it's been destroyed. Oh, my goodness. And conveniently, they both happened at exactly the same time. because we get lots of people contacting him saying,

we've got your dog and, you know, they want the money. And nobody can provide proof that they've actually got. Oh, Matt. That's so sickening because it's one thing to get your dog stolen, which I honestly, I can't even imagine when your heads are. A horrible, horrible experience for you. And then to have people praying on your heartbreak to try and trick you into losing money.

I just don't even understand. That feels like a different experience. species of human. I can't even understand how people think to do that, to kick somebody while they're at their lowest. We get, we get prank called, man. When people bark like a dog and pretend to be a dog, I mean...

Oh my God. What's wrong with people? What is her distinctive markings? She's got a trademark for a cheese inside of a snout. There's a lack of pigment. So she's got like white markings on the side of her snout, which is very unique to her litter.

Right. She's a darling. I'm looking at a photo now. She's a brown and white border collie when typically most of them are black and white so I mean that also helps But $10,000 isn't a lot of money to part with But I suppose when Sadie's part of the family It's just money

And if this gives you any hope I lost my cat Kimmy about a year ago He was gone for nearly two weeks And we found him up a tree So not that your dog would climb a tree But I just mean you know There is chances that it would come back Yeah, awesome

Yeah I'm sorry How much did you put up for We only done a $100 award, so. $100, but I think Matt sounds like he likes his dog a lot more than you like to care. And that's what I'm trying to say. It's a, you know, this is a very difficult time. Hey, well, Matt, just happy to help put the word out there. And we hope that, you know, you are one of those stories that you read online,

that the animal comes home like two years later, you know, with no real explanation as to where they have been or how they got home. I really hope that's the ending that happens for you. Amazing. Thank you so much. I appreciate getting the words asked for us. Thank you. No worries, mate.

Hey, we'd love to talk extreme rewards that you've maybe offered or being given because you ended up finding the thing that was lost or returning it. $10,000, it's a lot of money. That'll be hard to beat. I know. It's, oh, God, it's desperately sad, isn't it? It is, 100%. Have you had a reward that you've offered?

Because I always find the exchange is a bit of a strange one. Yeah, right. In the pet scenario, do you drop it back? Then you're like, cool. So do you want my account number? or are we going to go to an ATM now? Because I would drop the pet back and be like, don't worry about paying me.

You've been through something horrible. My husband would be livid at me. I'd be like, you didn't get the money. Yeah, you'd be in the car driving home, being like, didn't get a cent. Yeah, but I wouldn't think I'd need to. But yeah, my husband guy would be absolutely furious if I came home and he's like, where's the 10K reward?

I'm going out to bounty hunt after the show. No. Extreme rewards. If you've got a story, either that you've claimed or that you've offered before, I went hundred a year where we can fire us a text 3343.

It's Clint, Megan Dan. And we just have Matt on who's got a brown border collie that was lost in the West Auckland area and he's offering a $10,000 reward for anyone who's got information that gets him his dog back.

Which I was just saying before I wouldn't accept. Apparently neither would. My husband is quite mad that he said that he were. But Dan, you would want the money. I'd take hate of it. You can keep the other two. Right.

I just think this is a little bit of nice. When you see the dog running around the family are all in tears. You're not going to take 10K? You've got to deal with the payment. It's such a weird thing. I think a cash reward for a pet. No, they said it.

For a pet is hard. Maybe it's something else that they lost, you know, like a boat. Maybe you'd not feel as bad. $2,000 reward. Yeah. Okay, let's go to Shane. Morning Shane. How are you going?

Good, hey, mate, going good. We're talking biggest rewards or bounties. Were you offering one? What? I offered $2,000 when I got a trailer stolen. but I've got 10 of the same trailer so driving all over all over all because I kept getting phone calls

people telling me that they've seen it but I was actually still towing another one I've seen it's behind a range driver you're like it's me it's me yeah my youth had my youth was sign written as well so I wasn't going to steal my own trailer yeah that would be frustrating

because every time you'd be like oh oh oh oh hey Shane we're going to give you a double pass to our must see movie it's going to be our in cinemas this Thursday crime 101. It's got Chris Hemsworth, Mike Ruffalo, Hullaberry and Barry Cogan

in it. Now, they're not answering their phone, but would love to have gotten them on, but somebody found a diamond ring in the warehouse car park, which they were five. And mum put an advert in the paper to try and find the owner, which is really cool of mum as well to like, you know, follow along and help. Then

he gave me $10,000 and a barbie car for the five-year-old. Turns out was worth $300K. Whoa. And he was going to propose, but lost it. a $300,000 dollar dollar. How do you lose a $300,000? That is clumsy.

See, so that's different. That's when you take the cash. You realize it's a fraction of what it was worth, whereas an animal is so different, doesn't it? I would have been kicking myself, because I would have gone straight to cash converters and got like $30 for it. How many people have this story,

but it hasn't ended this way, when somebody said, I found a nice leather wallet, $1,500 in cash and a license. So I found the owner, returned the wallet with everything intact. He was so grateful he took everything out of the wallet and gave all the cash to me.

Oh, that's good. I just can't imagine it because I wouldn't care about getting my, I wouldn't go, oh, thank you so much for my wallet back. Here's the cash I didn't care about. You know, like, what are you being? Stop to have gotten in the wallet back. How hard isn't to get another driver's license these days. It's true.

Hey, John Aiken, I'm married at first sight, expert who's being there for 13 seasons. And he's back again. Also a little Olympics update. Zoe's second run was fantastic apparently. Yeah, she's back in contention for gold. How good. We'll keep updated.

Clint Megan Dan. It's back in it. It's first episode last night. Yeah, on three. If you missed it, you can catch up three now. 13 seasons and he has been there every step of the way. John Aiken, relationship expert from Marriott of First Side Australia. Welcome back.

Always good to catch up with you guys. We do love catching up with you. Lucky 13, would you say? Or bad luck 13. Confronting 13. Confronting. Yeah. I mean, we've had plenty of big moments, iconic sort of wine pouring over the head sort of behaviour.

No, that was several years ago. And moments where people have sort of stopped them in their tracks. But this year we have something very different. We have a band of women that get together on the show. They call themselves the boss babes, and they come for everybody. They go after any woman that stands up to them, any husband and particularly any expert that's got any advice for them.

The interesting storyline is, you know, when is that behaviour appropriate and when is absolutely offensive? And you're going to see some really low-rent type of behaviour. There's about six of them that get to get. Yeah, so they really dominate and try and overpower the whole experiment. What do you think motivates some of these people? Because I always watch this and I go, why are you being such an arseille? What are you getting out of this?

Particularly men a lot of the time. There's been a couple in previous seasons. Men behaving badly. You're a piece of work. And what are you going to get out of this except be known for being an asshole? I think they don't sometimes... Motivation is behind it.

Would they even know that they're being an asshole? Well, I think that's really the bigger question is what their insight is like. Yeah. Like we're sitting here, unpacking, you know, what human behaviour is like, and we'd also look at ourselves. They don't really do that.

Most of them, they are just there. Masks off. This is who I am. And what I can tell you is, what you're seeing on camera is what you get off camera. And something as well that's probably much more of a personal question for you. I found at the end of last season, you would have people like a couple of different journalists and reporters

like following you around us or one video in particular. He's got his camera on your first. Yeah, and you're going into like a parking building. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And trying to get these like exclusive grabs and stuff. I thought that's crazy because these people have very much put themselves in the spotlight. You're doing a job. But now when people start harassing you in the street for trying to,

to give advice to couples who have signed up willingly to a experiment like this, what that is like and whether you're starting to realize the size of this beast that is married at first sight and how serious people take it. Yeah, I remember at a cafe one time I was sitting there talking to a mate and she would have been about 65. She just leant over, tapped me on the shoulder and said, look, I just need to tell you, I find you disgusting. Oh, God.

She did not. Yeah, yeah, she did. She was probably a nana. It's rather terrible. And I'm like, look, I really appreciate that honesty. I mean, it's not for everyone our show, but I love the fact that you wanted to reach out and tell me that. And then you get a moment like that, Johnny,

you just open up your bank account and you have a look. You go, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Am I that transparent? I see their rollings. Every year he comes into suits more and more designer. He only had a saco last year. One of the most popular shows in Australia, I guess.

You'd like to think that's the result. First season aired last night, so it is out on three now if you do want to catch up and get amongst season 13 I've married at First Side Australia. John Akin? It's a real pleasure, guys, and just buckle up because the boss babes, they're coming. Thanks, John.

Speaking of relationships, actually, I use someone next that's guilty of the 6-7 dating trend. Oh, God, what's this? It's new, it's out for 2026. A lot of people doing it, apparently. Love how Dan always has the scoop on these new dating trends. I thought your ride was closed. I just like to keep abreast.

Keep a breast off the situation. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Zoe, who's currently in the big air at the Winter Olympics, is leading. Hoping to get gold. She just needs a few more people to choke. The last two, both have caked it. So that's great.

We just need four more people to cake it. We don't need to say that. They're crying, poor thing. You can watch it long on SkySport now. Yeah. Okay, the 6-7 dating trend. Dan's going to let us know. He says,

people have been doing it a long time, but I guess it's just been given a name now and it's got nothing to do with 6-7. Well, it sort of is in a way. Meg, you might be guilty of this. Me. You were consciously doing it. Okay.

But people currently are wanting to have stability in their relationships, and that's fair enough. And so they're lowering their standards with physical attraction. That's so mean, Dad. If anything, I think I'm punching, but carry on.

Yeah, so the 6-7 there. currently dating people that are maybe a six, maybe a seven in terms of attractiveness, but better personality, more trustworthy with that. So Meg, even though she's a nine to ten, she's dating a six to seven because he's less likely to cheat on her and get her a more stable husband. I think it was the other way around, if we're being really honest. I think if anything it might. I can see, I see why that would be a thing where you get personality, get a good cook.

But you're also attractive as well, Meg. You know, I would be interested to know anybody I went out of The Edge, text 333343, will anybody admit to this? Maybe you didn't consciously do it early on, but maybe you are doing it consciously now. So you clicked on to, it's so yucky, isn't it?

So you clicked on to thinking, like, choosing somebody who you think is less attractive because they're better people? Well, essentially, you're just lowering your standards. You've lowered your standards to get more nicer people. Yuck! Nobody's admitting they're doing this.

This is so disgusting. So you're dating nines and tens, and then you realize you get the same thing with a nine and ten every single time. So you start deliberately dating a six and seven, and then you realize they're actually better partners. So that becomes your type. This is so sad. Within Rees and nine and tens, usually, you know, they're a bit cocky.

They know they're hot. And so they can play the field. They're less trustworthy. Clint, how did you find that for you when you were dating out of? He's like he was locked in early. Yeah, it's true. But I just said Carl's dating a nine to ten. Yeah, so I got a nine to ten and she went for a five,

and it's working out really well for it because God do I have to put in the effort. She's not guilty of the 6-7 trend. She's guilty of the fire. She's gone on the foot. You went lower, but, you know, like I got size of my side and I do cooking and cleaning and stuff as well.

So that's all. Yeah, make it up. You see, the nines, they're not doing... The nines and tens aren't cooking, they're not doing laundry because I guess the theory is they don't have to. Yeah, he's actually a four, but the cooking and cleaning puts them up to us.

Yeah, yeah. I see Meg was a nine, but I think she's got cake in her here at the moment. Yeah. It's all done. It's all right. I don't even know how you did that. I don't know.

But will anybody admit it that they've lowered their standards for a nicer person? Dan, we're knocking people on like that. There will be. There's only people texting through that. I don't know if I want to talk to somebody who, oh, wants to get us, they omits it they go for ugly people. No, not ugly. No, true. Just not that, like, typically a trap.

I guess person. Ashley said, nah, even the twos are A-holes. Yeah, but I think maybe like the six-seven dating trend is maybe that's the sweet spot. They're decent enough looking, but they're also decent guys. No, Ashley, you don't know, you're not, I reckon

it's because men do this, not women. I reckon men potentially are like going for somebody what they think is lower than them. Well, someone's sexes who is saying I started dating six or sevens because they were nice, a bit jokes on me. They still cheated. Exactly.

Yeah. Unfortunately. All right, what do you reckon? Is there any truth to the theory? The 6-7 dating trend. Is there any truth to it? People who admit they purposely seek out sixes and sevens out of ten

because they are better partners. Yeah, less attractive. Can I say this doesn't seem to be happening and seem to be the case for women who are the 9s and 10s? I have multiple texts and I have found things online as well that women have gone, you know what, I am going to low.

standards. I'm going to get a nice guy. I'm not going to go for the hotie. I'm not going to go for the, like, societyally standard hot guy. Ticks like that. So a friend of mine did this. She's stunning. Turns heads when she walks down the street. She dated a very attractive guy who broke her heart. So then she's like, right, I'm going to go, you know, just lower my standards. I'm going to go for this guy that's not as attractive, nerdy. And he turned out to, she says, be a bit of a psycho and cheated on her like crazy. So it doesn't work, it seems for, because I think, and I have this theory, that guys that are a little bit lower on the societally hot standard, when they get a hot girl, they think that makes them that

hot. Yeah, right. Do you know what I mean? It makes them think that they can cheat on. Tammy just said she goes for six and sevens on Tinder, and they turn out to be more hard work. Someone else said, Tens have the personality of a foot. Right. And that's a guy saying that about girls.

So it's like, it's almost like different sort of whether you're dating men or women, depending on that because my 19-year-old works on a theory that she believes tens are more likely to cheat and or be assholes. Somebody else said that. We don't have a guy that's called through

that has... Anonymous. Yeah. Right. Actually, there's got a Tammy first because she wants to talk about going you date sixes and sevens. Deliberately.

Yes. I found that actually more sato than the normal sort of eight and none. Really? So you think that the sixes and sevens almost because hotter people are going for them because of theories like this

actually turn out to be more likely to cheat. Oh, I don't know, but even if you go lower than that, which I've done, it kind of gets worse. The lower you go. How low are you going? Tammy, I'll lower you bet. Oh, I'm glad about it too. Oh, Sammy.

Bloody out. Okay, okay, just trying it, eh? I'm a 10, and I lower my standards because 10 guys are idiots. Um, oh, now we're getting texts that are moving them. They're too cocky, they say. Sometimes, someone in all relationships, let's have a chat to. Anonymous?

Anonymous. You're a 10 and you lowered your... Anonymous voices, guys, or just anonymous? Oh, okay, line 2 then. Sorry, you're a 10 and you lowered your standards because 10's too cocky you find. Yes. Yes, okay. Very cocky.

They always have been, and when I was younger, I think I thought it was cool. where you mature and you realize it's just not cold. Yeah, so what do you think you go for on the scale of, like, hotness? Do you think a six or a seven is good, or do you go lower than that? It's probably a seven, eight, or even a six. But, like, their personality makes them look more, become more attractive anyway. No, anonymous, I don't want to judge.

And I don't want to come across like an asshole here, but do you really think you're a 10? I don't, like, would you actually say that, hand-on heart, you're a 10 out of 10? I definitely was When you were dating Okay when you were maybe younger Really

Everyone always takes a couple of points off If you're a 10 be a 10 Yeah Somebody are saying Self proclaim 10 Girl come on If you're a 10 and you date a 5 Then other 10s think there must be something good about them

So then they date 5s So and then the 5s get confidence Because they're dating 10s We've got one more Let's go to another Miss Jake Yeah Morning Jake Good morning, morning.

So that's a fake name. Will you admit that you purposely seek out six and sevens because they're better partners? Yeah, no, definitely. I've had my own experiences before and honestly, all things considered, they're a bit better for me. And are you a 10?

Yeah, overall. I give, well, my mate say at least at mine, but something that goes up there to say I'm 10, so, yeah, I mean, I think it's just my height. Oh, yeah, you're a tall, tall, good-looking guy. Okay, and you go for sixes and seven. sevens in females? Yep.

Okay, and do you think it's more successful? Yeah, what's it about the sixes and sevens that you like? I don't know. Yeah, I mean, in the past, like, yeah, I've been cheated on quite a bit, but that's why, yeah, I'm just one of the lot that's kind of lower the standards. But in all things considered, my experiences have been pretty solid just a few years, and then, yeah, it just kind of cuts off after a little bit. Wow.

I just get used to like that. I just love how like tens need the voice disguiser to admit their dating sexes. I don't know if I want everybody to know who I am. Find someone that makes you happy. Like they've done something illegal and they need the voice discosal. I'm a 10. But I dated a six once. I didn't know we were like dating people and going, oh, there are six, there are seven, there and eight.

I didn't even know that was the thing. It's just like whether you find them attracted or not, right? This is like a school runtime in the moment. The kids who are going to primary and intermediate must be going to the amount of times we've said six, seven. in this break, I think. That was so last year, Clint. Unfortunately, it's still hanging on. And if it is school run, you're so much more than your looks anyway.

Work on your personality. Work on your intelligence. That's going to get you far in life. Don't worry about. Look where it got me. Yeah, you know, you're a four on. You're on the radio. Yeah, if I'm lucky me.

Clint, Meg and Dan. Super Bowl. 60 was on yesterday. Sea Hawks taking down the Patriots. If you missed it, a half-time show, Bab Bunny, Charlie Puth. Hope for things. with the National Anthem.

How much money, though, was dropped across the game. Some of the stats that are coming out out the gate. And Paulie Moe from the TAB joins us this morning. Morning, Paulie. Yeah, morning. Morning. So it's probably, it's either a world you definitely know a lot about if you're someone that enjoys a little cheeky punt,

or maybe Meg, you know nothing about it because I don't imagine you did it. I know nothing about this world. Go on. Paulie's got the stats for us. Morning, mate. Morning, morning. I just heard you guys talking about a silver medal. Was it Zoe

who picked up the silver medal and the woman's Big SETSat. Congratulations to Zoe's sensational result. I'll tell you who didn't want a silver medal is the New England Patriots. You only want to be the winner when it comes to the Super Bowl and unfortunately for them and unfortunately for their punters

that didn't happen because they were very very well backed in the head-to-head market. I think they were out at around $2.95 cents prior to the game starting and they just got backed in and because usually with these big events punters love to back the underdog

because, well, Kiwis, we love to back an underdog and two, you're getting some bigger odds on the underdog than what you're getting on the favourite. So there was plenty of money on the New England Patriots. Unfortunately, that didn't go the way of the punters and those punters who also love to back

touchdown scorers, I can tell you the five most popular touchers. touchdown scorer's in that match, didn't score a touchdown. It was boring for that first three-quarters. Yeah, it was. Jackson Smith and Jigba, Kenneth Walker, Drake May, Cooper Capp, Stefan Deeggs, all very, very popular with punters. None of them scored a touchdown.

So that was very, very tough for punters, certainly with their same game mulks. What was the biggest amount that was placed from a New Zealander on the game yesterday? You know, sometimes you see those, you hear those rumors about, you know, the big tickets. And did they win? There was a $17,000 bet on the Seahawks to win the game. And this was while the game was going. This was when they were up, I think, by a couple of touchdowns.

They were $1.20 at the time, the Seahawks. One ponder put $17,000 on them. And he collected quite, didn't really have to sweat too much to be fair. They were in control for pretty much all of the game. There was also a $5,000 bet. on Kenneth Walker, the Seahawks running back to be the MVP for the game. And we kept seeing a lot of money coming for Kenneth Walker during the game because it was getting fairly obvious that he would be the MVP.

He was rushing for over 100 yards. There wasn't much else going on in the game. So there was a $5,000 bet on him to be the MVP at $1.90. That collected. Here's one that lost $5,000 on the Seahawks minus $16.5 at $13. It was close, but not quite. Okay, so if I'm going to place an early bet on the winners for Super Bowl 61 next year, which team should I have you put my money on, Pauley?

That's bloody early, Clint. Well, the Seahawks are favours, joint favourites to win the Super Bowl. They're out at $9. The Los Angeles Rams are right alongside them. Okay. Rams made it to the conference finals. They're at $9 as well. But if you look back to this Super Bowl,

there are a number of punters who got on the Seahawks earlier, last year at $67 to win the Super Bowl. Oh, damn. They collect it. So let's have a look at someone who's paying $67 in this Super Bowl, hey? How about the Indianapolis Colts? They're out at $67 if they can keep their quarterback healthy. They've got a very, very good defense and a fantastic running game.

So I thought the Indianapolis Colts at $67 to win the next Super Bowl wasn't the worst bet. Okay. Well, thank you, Paul. If you just joined us Radio Sport. I think you've got to do the whole gamble responsibly at the end or whatever. Maybe Paulie was going to do that, but I'll do it for them. Thanks so much for that, because it makes the game interesting, doesn't it? If you've got a little bit of something on there.

No! Sorry, I'm not supposed to say that. Because it was a bloody boring game otherwise. Yeah, it was actually. The fourth quarter was okay. Yeah, yeah. Most exciting thing that happened at the start was Charlie Poof. That was good.

I mean, the performances were incredible. The real winners were the Seahawks, and they took away a winning bonus. like over 170 grand each. $171,000. Holy shit! You made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow.
