This is a podcast from Rover.
If you've ever sent a risky text and then thrown your phone across the room, you'll fit right in here.
This is the Clint Megendan Podcast.
As the nation slowly wakes up from their slumber,
these three have been awake for hours.
Crafting their finest content,
preparing the latest in music and celeb news.
Restocking the prize cupboard
and sharpening their wit.
And now they're ready.
Put down your coffee.
Fasten your seatbelt
and turn up your radio. because it's time for Clint, Meg and Dan. Good morning, Bang on 6 o'clock Tuesday. Good to be here.
Yeah, short week Tuesday if you don't count yesterday.
Well every week, we've said that before, every week's a short week if you forget about Monday.
Actually we do have another one coming up in only like, what is it, three weeks?
Yeah.
King's birthday weekend, get the Monday off.
God bless the God, long live the King.
Yeah, we get a couple coming up
because then we get Matariki the week or two after.
Oh really?
Yeah, they're very close.
After the King's birthday.
Yeah, they're very close.
Speaking of the King, is he sick?
Prince Charles, King Charles.
Cause he's, I saw a video from the other day doing is,
you know how he goes and meet and greets people
He's looking very frail. Oh, yeah
Yeah, but I thought he was sort of getting over that but it doesn't look like he's
Yeah, imagine the king would probably have access to the best type of medicine and doctors
I don't think he'd be sitting in a and e for five hours. No
Waiting for his turn like everyone else because he's a man of the people that is one of the most depressing things as a human being, sitting in an A&E waiting
room.
Oh my god.
It's good to be, yeah, I mean it can be depressing if it's like you know it's actually fine but
you should be there but it's like obviously I'd just be awful if you're sitting there
and actually like bleeding out.
Yeah.
Don't know if I'd be depressed and bleeding out.
I don't think they're making you wait five hours and you're bleeding out.
You need to take like a crying kid with you so if you've got like a...
Oh that doesn't work. Even then they make you wait Clint? No that doesn't work.
Really? He's gonna say find a friend or a sibling with a crying baby and just take a look at him.
Really sick looking kid and then obviously they'll get you in.
No but if you just if you're sick but you just take a screaming kid with you...
They don't care about the screaming kid. Don't they?
No no you need the kid to like, sounds awful but look really sick like more like they're not doing anything.
If kids aren't doing anything that's when they panic. Here's a little, here's a little trick. Screaming they're like go sit in the
waiting room. Here's a little trick put some porridge and milk in your mouth then go
shake it up and then spit it all over the reception and go oh god I need to
see someone quickly. But even then they'll just get you out of the waiting room but
then they'll just plonk you in the bed out the back.
Forget about him.
I'm not trying to be mad, by the way I know how busy
you guys are but like, I've been plonked in the back
for eight hours, definitely.
Yeah me too, I've been plonked in the back many times.
Yeah, but we're talking about waiting rooms Meg.
Oh sorry.
She can go from one story to another.
I get so confused so easily sometimes.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh my gosh.
Man, if only we had cameras set up while the songs were playing, you could watch 24-7,
what goes on here, because Dan's just telling us what's going on, what's going to happen next.
Oh piss off.
Meg and I were like, are you sure?
We're in the safe hands of our Daniel.
Daniel, please.
No, now we do a thing this time every morning called the throwback.
Threesome? No, it's not a thre time every morning called the throwback. What is it?
Threesome?
No, it's not a threesome though.
Oh no, that's at nine.
Six AM throwback.
Six AM throwback.
Unless you've got a better name for it.
No, I like that.
Okay.
And it says what it is.
And what Daniel wants, Daniel gets.
And today we found out that in two, well today in America time is Robert Pattinson's birthday.
Oh, he was just the love of my life for a wee while boys
Same with my wife Hannah, she was obsessed
And proper proper like kind of uncomfortable obsessed in the point of like I really really like I felt away whenever I saw his videos and photos
Like I felt away
Didn't he have like more people into him after Twilight? I felt like during Twilight everyone was into the other guy the werewolf
Jacob Oh not me, no always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always movie it's like a comfort watch is that one of those movies she she's watched like 15 times and I've never seen it and it is the most terrible film now like it
does not stack up it is like the acting's shocking especially from Kristen Stewart
I think her acting is actually very nuanced and subtle
oh nuanced is not a word I'd use it was terrible she's got better since but man
god some of the worst acting and directing choices in a way
oh really but you think people were just like so into yeah I don't know this weird vampire But man, God, some of the worst acting and directing choices in a way. Oh really?
But you think people were just like so into, I don't know, this weird vampire threesome?
The first one's definitely the best because it feels the most like an indie movie, Clint.
Like it's quite indie, it's kind of dark and stuff and then it gets more blockbuster
and it's not as good.
But the first one is kind of like these were all unknown people.
Now we know them really well but when you first watch it you're like this is groundbreaking
stuff.
We didn't have any, we had Mean Girls, you know, like this was very different.
It was terrible, but good in a weird way.
No, no, I don't agree at all.
So anyway, Robert Pattinson's birthday today, 39 years old.
God, I cried throughout those books as well.
I bawled my eyes out.
But you already knew what was going to happen.
Oh yeah.
Did you read them? No, but you would have read them after the first movie came out.
After the first movie. I was going through a breakup most people. Yeah, I thought he was my Edward
Mmm, what a shame anyway, so let's play a song from the Twilight series. What a what a soundtrack
Yeah, great soundtrack because Andy cool movie. Yeah, so we've got a choice
I think what we could play is either supermassive black hole muse
Yeah, which I would like my favorite decode by Paramode by Paramore. What Daniel wants, Daniel gets.
So that's what we're gonna play, I'm guessing.
And then when we started having to listen to it,
I was like, oh, Dan goes, how good is it?
How good is it?
Yep, chuck that one in, Clint.
Chuck it in.
It's just a good upbeat sort of for a Tuesday.
Muse, but you know.
We don't have it in the system, so.
Dan's pick for your Sixth Am throwback.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
Actually, great text in from Tanya Clint.
You should watch Twilight with your cam, your daughter.
Because then she'll get the, oh my gosh, that's...
I mean, she's maybe a little young, but also the right sort of age to get obsessed.
I think it's quite adult. It's too adult for...
Really? How old's Cam?
She's ten in July.
Yeah, but she's going on sixteen.
Yeah, but I don't need to speed that up.
Right. She's ten in July. She's older than I thought.
I thought she was nine in July.
It's basically about a guy that's just obsessed with a girl and vice versa.
And then they like, can't be...
She will see worse things on YouTube.
Twilight Lisa's got some artsiness to it.
Good soundtrack.
No, the moment Kim's really obsessed with doing like lip sync videos.
So she'll find like a trending piece of audio and she's actually, her timing is
quite impeccable compared to the people.
It's one of my pet peeves when I see people
do lip sync things on TikTok or Instagram
and they're out of time.
It's like, do it again.
How busy were you?
You've obviously practiced the bit.
You know the words.
Anyway, I'm getting-
I'd rather my daughter be obsessed with lip syncing
than blood sucking vampires that are obsessed
with a woman.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've got some sad news for coffee catch up. Guys, you know how Stealth
Aquatics were gonna come in to my house and do a quote for a giant aquarium
because we're a fish family now we've got eight guppies. You've had a fish
for two weeks and now you need the whole house to be a fish tank. Yeah I want
as much of the house to be glass walls with fish inside it as possible. And I've gone a little bit deep and me and the bro, I
don't even know his name, but we were just chatting on Instagram and he was like
yeah cool let's lock in a time and I said my wife doesn't really know his name.
Wouldn't you expect to get a free fish tank? No I wasn't, actually you guys are the ones
doing all the shout outs to the company. We hadn't even discussed that.
If you need a fish tank go check out Ste by the way. We hadn't even discussed that. If you need a fish or you're a custom fish tank go check out Stealth Aquatics.
We didn't even discuss it but he said he'd put in tanks for Israel Arisanya, the UFC
fighter and one of the Mowbray siblings. The ones that own Zuru Toys that are like the
richest people in New Zealand. And I was like, how expensive are these tanks?
It'd be very expensive.
Anyway, it was...
It'd be your third richest celebrity in New Zealand, I would say.
Yeah, it goes Mowbrie, Adesanya, Randall.
Yeah, it works.
So, he was like, I was like, well, I'm not really that keen, so...
I'm just bracing you for a little bit of hostility on the wife front.
She's not going to be as stoked about losing her linen cupboard where I wanted the tank to go. He was like, all good. Yeah, that's generally the case. One half
is always more king than the other. We'll talk around. Talk around. I don't like wasting people's
time because my old man was a concrete contractor for like 30 years and you go out and you quote
jobs and you drive all over the city sometimes quoting jobs that you don't get. Money you just
never see. So I called my wife yesterday, a few hours before
this dude's supposed to come around and I said, as a percentage how into the fish tank, the giant fish
tank are you as a possibility of it going in her house? She said zero. Oh that's not a good percentage.
Hard to get lower than zero. She said zero about your tattoos at one boy. I know. And Clint, you're the man of the house, hey?
Who wears the pants?
Well, that's why I pushed back, Dan.
Right, good on you.
And I said, yeah, come on, can't be zero.
You enjoy the fish.
I'm gonna ask you one more time.
And I want your honest answer.
Sounds aggressive.
What percentage out of 100
do you want this giant fish tanking house?
And she said, zero.
Now, the stealth aquatics man still come over?
No so I texted him and I said I just asked my wife and she gave a zero percent in terms of how
interested she is. She did say inside the next six months and I said I don't want to waste your time
if we're not at least keen to maybe press go on the whole thing and he left me on scene for about
an hour and a half. Because he was crying. And then he texted on scene for about an hour and a half.
Because he was crying.
And then he texts me back about half an hour.
I think he was texting Anasanya and Mowbray
in the group chat.
Which one of you guys wants to take Randall out?
Hopefully one of the Mowbrays.
Not Anasanya.
All those people with money, Jesus,
you don't want to piss them off, do you?
Hopefully one of the Mowbrays.
I'll take Mowbray over on the other side now.
So no fish tanker for me!
No fish.
Clint Megan Dan.
Let's go!
Clint Megan Dan scandal.
Yeah, it's just come out this morning that Paul Alice, you may know him or remember him,
he used to be a pretty prominent figure in the Kiwi music industry to the point that he was a judge on a New Zealand Idol back in the day.
And I know that's a very long time ago and you'll either remember him or you don't
if you see his face I think you're more likely to. He's got glasses eh? Sort of like
he's got glasses. That's it. There was that song about him. I
Anyway My teacher's name is Alice and we introduced my daughter to that song when we were driving up North ones
And then we were naughty parents because they were like can we can we sing the whole song?
And we were like okay one time. Yeah, you let. That's my mum's go-to like karaoke song.
Oh yeah my mum's too. So she put the F word in the middle.
Oh she loves singing and saying the F word. We do need to take our mums out for that just to sing that song I think.
Anyway back to Paul. Paul has pleaded guilty to driving with excess breath alcohol seven times the legal limit.
Oh you mean like this is the seventh time he's been caught. Seven times the legal limit. Oh, you mean like this is the seventh time he's been caught? Seven times the legal limit?
Yeah.
That is also super shocking.
Yeah, he was also convicted of driving while disqualified after failing to apply for an
interlock licence after his last conviction in Bledham and he's now being remanded on
bail for sentencing in August.
What's that feeling sorry for him for?
What's that sorry for?
What's that for?
It's always wrong to drink dry, that's all I'm saying.
But it's always hard to see someone that has gone from quite a successful career,
and someone that has been very prominent and obviously in the public eye,
and then they've had such a tumble, you know?
And I'm sure there's a story in between those two things.
Yeah, have to be sure.
Where there's been some horrible things
that have happened to Paul,
but it's always sad, isn't it, to see someone that's-
They're full from grace.
Full from grace, yeah.
And it's a lot of the time, you see it time and time again,
it's to do with alcohol or drugs
or, you know, one of those things so yeah.
Yeah because I've genuinely
haven't heard anything about what Paul's been up to like for over a decade yeah
and then sad that as well when we finally start hearing about it again it's
you know stuff that's you know going to court and you know looking at being
prosecuted and all these types of things.
Yeah I mean I've got family members that have got alcohol issues and it's such a complex thing to have to deal with.
You know, like it's mental health's involved.
I think he's very lucky that he crashed into a parked car with nobody in it.
But I do think it would be very different how we'd be reacting if he killed a family.
Oh, 100%.
But that's got nothing to do with his,
that's literally just luck rather than the fact that
he tried to not hit anybody, you know, he hit a car.
And as I said before, there's no excuse,
you're right, for drunk driving.
But yeah, alcoholism and that kind of thing is rough.
It's a devil, eh?
Yeah it really is.
Especially, I mean I know there are parts of New Zealand
that don't have Uber and that, but Uber really is like so cheap to, like if you want to shoot into town or whatever,
and I mean, what do you look at, when was the last time you had a $50 Uber, a $40 Uber,
and it's like just taking that out of the equation, you know, like there's just no need for it.
It shouldn't even cross your mind to get behind the wheel even if like
yeah to me like as soon as I've had one or two drinks I'm like I'm just not driving yeah I'm
not a drinker. It's just happened I think I'm reading through it like about four times in June
2018 he was charged on two separate charges ten days apart from driving with excess blood alcohol
and then also last year in 2023 disqualified for driving and now also 2025.
It's not one of those, I went round to my mate's place for dinner and just had one too many wines
and it was like you've just been picked up for the first time.
He's obviously got a drinking problem and shouldn't have a car.
Seven times over the limit. I also hear, I don't know, but people talk about how our limit is much higher than other people,
than other places around the world and now you'd be really surprised
How much you can drink and still be under the limit in New Zealand so to be over seven times over
I couldn't walk, let alone drive seven times over the limit. It's unbelievable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you're right Meg
I think the the outcome of somebody crashing. Very very lucky that nobody was hurt in this situation apart from you know
Maybe hopefully this is the final final rock bottom. Yeah. So he can pick himself up. Yeah it's the
thing that kind of makes some change.
We will ask you a question, try to assume your answer you You just have to let us know who's closest for the win
and we'll sort you out with a voucher.
Go spend in store at Zed.
And the person that we're getting to know today is...
Michaela, she's 22 years old.
Michaela's a lawnmower.
Has a lawnmower or is a lawnmower like mows lawns?
Oh, I'm guessing she probably,
that's more likely because I don't know why.
We're currently talking to a mass sport lawnmower. She works as a lawnmower, sorry that makes more likely, Clint. I don't know why. We're currently talking to a mass sport lawnmower.
She works as a lawnmower, sorry that makes more sense.
Drives a 2025 blue MG.
Rich.
A 2025? That's orally a few months in.
Not even Clint has a 2025.
I didn't even know they could finish a car within 2025.
We're honestly four months in, five months in.
You think it takes some six months to build a car?
I wouldn't imagine why it would take any less.
We need to take Meg to the car building factory.
We do, we do.
I imagine, okay.
She also, her work van though is a Nissan Caravan.
Two vehicles, eh?
Well you're not fitting lawn mowers in the back of the EMGs are you there?
Bloody hell, it's a good day to mow the lawn.
She has starstime as Capricorn and she's single, not dating or invested. Morning Michaela. She's too busy being rich. Bloody hell. Go Michaela. 22 with the
2025 Blue MG. When did you pick that up? Three weeks ago. Oh nice. So did you come into some money or you've just been saving and that's your dream car?
Like what caused you to?
Well, I just, honestly, my car was about to blow up.
I had a bit of an old Mazda Accelerator
and I just walked into the dealership and-
Good on ya.
And just get a girl 22 brand new car.
I'm so impressed, Mikaela, I'm so impressed.
As lawn mower, I've always wondered this
cause I always thought I could take up a lawn mowing ground.
How many lawns do you mow per week
and how much on average do you earn a week
if you don't mind me asking?
I will say it's my dad's company.
Right.
So I do about 50 lawns a week
and I only pull in six to 700 a week.
Oh yeah, I guess that's not that much.
But I mean the old man's going to eventually,
I guess want to, yeah, want to walk away from it.
And then all of a sudden you've got yourself-
Well, that'll be the plan, right?
Yeah, and then you've got yourself
a lucrative small business.
All right, getting to know Michaela this morning.
Three weeks ago, she purchased a car
right off the lot, 2025.
I want to know what you think is her second biggest purchase
she's ever made in her 22 years.
Okay, so that's her biggest, do you think?
Yeah. Okay. I think that would be the biggest. Okay, second biggest, second biggest purchase she's ever made in her 22 years. Okay, so that's her biggest do you think? Yeah, I think that would be the biggest.
Okay, second biggest.
I reckon her second biggest is far less.
I think she's purchased an iPhone.
Okay.
That's her second biggest.
No, I think you own a small share in a rental property.
I think your mum and your dad might own like 80% of it
and they let you buy in at like 10 or 20%.
Uh-huh.
I think since you work for your dad's business,
you are able to get some time off between uni or something
and buying flights somewhere like a big OE
was your second biggest purchase you've ever done.
Oh yeah, flights, yeah that's a good one.
Okay, well who's closest, Michaela?
I would probably say Meg.
Yes.
Oh, the flights, yeah.
Oh that's probably a safe bet, I wish I'd said that because everybody's done
a little trip at some point, haven't they?
I haven't, I haven't done it.
Oh, you haven't.
And you should look at investing,
even if it is with your parents, you know?
Just, you're buying brand new cars,
you should be able to put a deposit down.
Yeah, where did you go, Michaela?
I actually worked in Colorado Springs for six months.
Oh my god. Epic.
You've got a great life for a 22 year old.
You've lived a lot.
Yeah.
Wow.
And so if someone's in Mount Maunganui
and they need their lawns mowed,
how do they get in touch?
Fennec lawns and gardens.
F-E-N-E-C-H.
F-E-N-E, and then she's smart as well
because she's spouted out.
Yeah, S-E-N-E-C-H.
No, F-E, F for feet or S for sausage? S for scenic.
S for seat. Yes. S for scenic, not F for fenec. I thought it was Phoenix.
Phoenix looks off. That's quite the name from Dan.
No, that's actually quite good because if it's scenic, I guess he's... but you would
think that's why you have to spell it right Michaela because your last name must be a
play on words with like something being...
Well Fennec is our last name.
It's not really play on words it is just their last name.
No it's just their last name.
Okay I thought they'd done something really clever there.
It's one of those jobs of all mind that on paper it sounds like quite an quaint job because you're just outdoors all day.
Oh we were tough work.
But it would be, you're right.
It would be really hard, Yacar.
Yeah.
Hey, we're gonna send you a voucher.
Craving a cheeseburger and a pie?
Easy as, thanks to Zed's new cheeseburger pie.
You can get amongst that a few times if you like, Michaela.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
It's a real low point, I think,
when you get bullied by children.
Yeah.
And it sticks with you.
When I say bullied, I don't think these particular kids
were necessarily doing it on purpose.
So a little bit of backstory, last night,
the three of us went to play a game of football,
soccer with some kids.
It was for a client thing,
which I think there's gonna be a video released
later this week or next week.
It was Clinton Eye and Meg was...
Reffing.
Reffing, and it was just Clinton I and Yaz versus about 40 school girls.
Actually boys, it wasn't at least, it was 35 because I counted the medals.
Yeah, and they're all aged, I would say maybe six or seven max.
Very young kids and it was fun and there was like 40 of them against us.
Nightmare, they beat us, thrashed us.
Well yeah, but we weren't really playing for, you know children we're not gonna beat them. Kids are cheaters. You know how kids just all
chase the ball all together like this little like almost like this swarm of
bees all you gotta do is take the ball off them and just run around them. They're sex Clint. I know but
I'm just saying for people that are like losers how'd you lose to 35 like school
children we let them win. Well I let them win. I don't know what Dan was doing. I was reefing and I very much made the rules
pro them and anti you guys as well.
Yeah, I got subbed off twice for nothing.
And they scored both times, I wasn't on the field.
As soon as you were off, Danny Gans had no control.
I don't know what was fed to these kids
as well before the game.
I'm assuming it was some sort of narcotics
because they were high as anything.
I was gonna say hopefully Milo
because that was the client.
Oh yes, maybe it was Milo.
I gave them all of the energy.
So they were running around and laughing and screaming
our scoring goals and at the end they'd thrashed us.
Oh they had a great time.
And so they were all running around jumping, screaming.
At one point they all jumped on top of it.
No, four or five kids.
Daniel, you lay on the ground and then they jumped
on top of you.
Well, it doesn't matter.
I laid on the ground
because there was a camera pointing at me
and I wanted to show that I was gutted that I lost.
So I went on the ground and cried.
All these kids jumped on top of me,
like 30 kids just all over the top of me.
And you'd think that would be all they did.
But no, there was a point where,
and Meg, you were there.
I saw you watching me.
These kids started taking my pants off.
Pulling me, pulling my pants down.
I was like, Meg, save me!
They were all laughing, trying to rip my pants off.
I'm like, Meg, please!
I was screaming, Meg's laughing,
the cameraman's filming me.
These kids, I'm like, cut, cut, cut, cut.
They're actually trying to pull my pants out.
And I was like squirming out, my, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, Why are we tracking down this? I'm trying to be like... I feel like you should be trying to stay in them. I'm like, please don't do that. But please.
Like that.
Nothing.
They just get like, ha ha ha ha.
Laughing.
Nightmare.
Absolute nightmare.
So you lost Ang or Down Trails.
I think the thing is, you guys saw it happening and you were like, oh we don't want to be
part of this.
I wanted nothing to do it in case they actually had something happen.
But wouldn't it be better to be on the right side of the law and go on, hold on guys, don't do that.
I'm not gonna answer that.
No, just headline comes out and all of a sudden it's like,
Dan and co-host Clint and Macayla,
co-host Meg and I don't need that.
Thanks for texting in Macayla as well because she's messaged saying,
I work in childcare and I get bullied by children,
three foot toddlers every day.
That's savage, physically and verbally.
So obviously...
Yeah, verbally, they can be quite rough.
And physically, it turns out.
Especially on mass.
My husband gets beaten up by my child every day, definitely.
So I'd let that just be a lesson.
Just always keep your wits about you when you're young kids.
Especially when they're in a group.
And they're not yours.
Yeah, exactly.
Because your authority means nothing.
They're like, you're not my dad.
I know a friend, and this wasn't really,
this was like, I think teenagers,
but I've got a friend of mine who works
in the media industry, you'd know him if I said his name,
and he was taking a selfie with some kids.
And someone downtrout him as he was taking the selfie.
Oh yes, I know who you're talking about.
They pulled the pants down, so there's a photo
doing circulation of this very famous broadcaster
with his hands around like a family.
I think two of them were kids and his pants are off.
I never forget.
Nightmare!
I remember a journalist was at a primary school
and was interviewing some kids and in the middle of the live interview
the kids go, you're breadstained.
I'll never forget it.
Oh god.
Were your pants on?
Oh the joys. Yeah the pants. No it wasn't mine! I was there watching the TV. Right. I just assumed it it. Oh god. Were your pants on, Joyce? Yeah, the pants.
No, it wasn't mine.
I was saying I was watching the TV.
Oh right.
I was just saying it was your bad breath.
Mean kids, if you've got a story.
They're very brutally honest as well.
Mean physically, verbally, oh wait, under the edge.
3-3-4-3.
Get it off your chest.
Mean kids.
After we played 35 young school kids in a game of football last night and Dan ended up being dogpiled by them
and then they tried to rip his pants off in front of their parents and onlookers.
I think it was funny.
Hey, some of the parents were laughing.
Yeah.
Just because there's some rain.
Better that. I'd rather have the parents laughing than thinking you were some sort of, you know.
What? Because they were literally, I had no control over what was happening.
Well, I mean-
You guys were even sitting there laughing at me. So- They were children though. some sort of, you know? What, because they were literally, I had no control over what was happening. Well, I mean-
You guys were even sitting there laughing at me.
So-
They were children though.
I don't care.
Raise your children better.
You gotta be careful not to put yourself
in compromising situations.
Absolutely, absolutely.
When they're feral like that.
Well, I've learnt.
I've learnt from my mistakes.
We've got Sue.
Morning Sue.
When were you bullied by a child?
Good morning.
So, I was bullied by my two year old when I was in the shower
with you when she was little as you do. And she was just looking up at me and she goes,
mom, when I grow up, I'm going to have a big fat hairy fanny just like you and I was like oh my god all those just take out one of the words two of the words but all the words
And you know what's so funny Sue is that from her height it would have just been right there
Right in her face exactly
Yeah it would have been like man
You know what it's somewhat if we like say it's somewhat sweet in the way that she's like, I, you know, like that's what I want.
I want a big hairy fanny.
Like, fat, hairy fanny.
I'm like, oh, great.
I never had it described as fat, to be honest.
Yeah.
Is it a good thing?
I'm not a fanny.
Yeah, well, there you go.
I never had it described as fanny.
I love it.
I love your, I love that you're laughing about it.
Oh, bless her.
I love the, yeah, not only are you laughing about it. Oh bless her. I love that you're not only laughing about it,
but sharing it with all of us.
How old is she now Sue?
She's now 27.
Oh did you bring that up at the 21st?
Oh that would have been bad.
I hope you got your dream wish
of getting a big fat hairy fanny just like your mother.
That's what I hope she gets.
Thanks Sue.
Bless you Sue.
I hope you got all the words.
Yeah, she's awesome. We've gotta give Sue Sue. I hope you got all the words. Yeah, she's awesome.
We've got to give Sue something.
What have we got?
Come on.
We can send you a Mother Earth prize back.
Thank you, yeah.
She is like Mother Earth.
Very natural.
Yeah, go full flavour with Mother Earth nutty sensations.
There's like 50 bucks worth of nuts and almonds.
I bet Mother Earth, the Mother Earth's got a big fat hairy one.
Yeah, she should. Yeah, she should.
Yeah, she should.
All natural, she's never seen a wax strip in her life.
I don't think Mother Earth necessarily want any sort of like extra,
what do they call that?
Will you just give them a little bit extra something?
Extra GST.
Yeah, a little AdLibs. I don't think they need the AdLibs.
Okay, sorry about that.
Okay, well here's Ash, she's the first time caller. Hi Ash!
Hi guys, how we doing?
Good.
For the first time in forever
Hello stranger, for the first time
Ash, you got bullied by children.
This is the way to get you out of the woodwork to call us.
What happened?
Yeah, I took my boyfriend's brother to McDonald's. I was about 18, and as we're standing in the
packed line to order, he looks up at me and goes, aren't you embarrassed to come out with
that huge cold sore on your face?
Incredible.
Incredible.
God, kids are savage.
Oh my God.
And you're like, I wasn't, I didn't even know, I thought this whole time nobody would have
noticed.
Yeah.
I told myself that, would have noticed. Yeah.
Five.
Yeah.
Thank you, this one made it up.
Aren't you embarrassed?
That's great, Ash.
Oh, that's so like...
I love that Ash you've called for the first time to shame yourself on the radio as well.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Cold soles must be there.
That totally scared me.
But no, it makes sense.
Do you guys get cold soles?
I imagine it's a pain in the arse,
because they're like, you can't get rid of them, hey, once you get cold soles.
Yeah, I think so. It's like a herpes, hey. can't get rid of them once you get coleslaw.
Yeah, it's like a herpes.
I remember my 4 year old walked into my room and my husband was getting dressed and she goes,
Oh dad, nice boobies.
Brilliant.
So that's a good one.
I'd be straight to the gym.
Straight to the gym.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Stinky boo.
I'm getting nervous.
Clint, Megan, Dan are on a mission to see if they can start a band with zero prior musical experience.
And after being turned down to open for Mitch James...
That was so shit.
I love you all individually as people, but as a band, one of the worst.
We started hunting for a new event to play at.
My 40th. It's at the Devonport RSA.
An RSA?
Oh, I've always wanted to play an RSA.
And I've got kegs of espresso martini.
Kegs of espresso!
You should have lived with that!
Great!
Well now that's sorted.
We pretty much have everything set, right?
Now we just have to practice.
Kirkabane's turning in his grave right now.
Yeah, I'm quickly realising how impossible this task is
that we've set for ourselves.
Yeah, I'm freaking out a little bit now.
It's not impossible, guys, but it is very, very hard.
We got so excited, I think, about the Espresso Martini Kegs
that we just completely went,
yeah, two weeks away, that's ages.
Then I started playing properly last night,
and I was like, oh god, we need like four.
Yeah, I was playing, I practised for at least
two or three hours yesterday, an hour at work, and then I home and practiced for another probably year and a half and I'm just not
getting better. You know, like I think, oh every time I play I'll get a little bit better
but it almost it's like I'm getting worse which is very concerning.
I'll play it like a section all the way through and I think I'll get it right without mistake
one out of eight times.
Yeah.
That's not a good enough hit rate.
Very big chunks of the song I have no idea.
I have no idea what I'm meant to be doing, so we're not in a good spot at the moment.
But if you look at some of the famous guitarists out there that have managed to play three
hour shows that have been off their face for half their careers and they're still nailing
it.
Muscle memory though, we need to get to that point right.
Maybe that's key, maybe we need a few espresso martinis before we start to loosen up the fingers and the wrists.
That's not gonna, I'm just, I'll end up throwing up.
Okay well, our first song is going to be Weirness's teenage dirtbag and Brendan B Brown is the lead singer.
It has been since, was it 95 or 98, 95 I think they got together.
Yeah.
Put a request out to have them on the show.
Really?
Yeah.
Left us on scene and has for some days.
How many days?
When did you reach out to them, Producer Carl?
Yeah, about six days ago and everything's on scene at this stage.
Here's the thing though, but what are Wheatus doing in 2025?
Well, I think they're touring, aren't they?
Turns out, yeah, they're pretty busy,
but they are on a website called Cameo where you can-
Ooh, oh, but that's not embarrassing.
Well, we've already reached out six days ago,
they've seen it, and then we go and buy it from them.
Ooh, this is what he said.
And I guess he's almost saying,
if you wanna get him on anything
This is the way to go about it. Hi friends Brendan from Weedus here setting up our cameo account for shoutouts and
Teenage dirtbag videos and birthdays and whatever else you got
We often get these requests on the road, but we can almost never do them
So we're kind of excited about the app and looking forward to seeing what you come up with. So
Go ahead get started.
Make me do some weird shit.
They can almost never do them on the road.
Right.
They are actually, you're right, they're touring.
They're playing a show in a couple of days in Pittsburgh.
And here is probably what we would get
if we paid the $133 New Zealand dollars
to get a shout out from Brendan.
Someone's obviously sent in their performance of
Teenage Dirtbag to get him to critique which is probably a great idea, something
that we'd be interested in. This is what we get back I guess. Hello I'm Brendan
from Wetus and I did see Michelle sing Teenage Dirtbag at Dark Horse in Atlanta.
She was good, not great, good. I think she was trying to do the harmonies and the lead at the same time.
Which was an interesting idea, but a weird choice and a little bit awkward. Um, but you know, I mean, we're grateful for a fan.
Wow. Okay, so he's not gonna be that, he's gonna be even more scathing of our band, isn't he, let's be honest? We're grateful for a fan Wow, okay. So
He's not gonna be that he's he's gonna be more scathing about bad
Doesn't he let's be honest and he's done it that's 31 seconds
So if he's doing 30 second cameos, how many questions like interview style?
Can we get right in 30 seconds and have him answer them? I kind of be interested in him. Just rating our performance. Oh
Telling us who he thinks the weakest link is I'd like that
So we've seen him perform and he goes definitely the worst so far. He's gotta work hardest in the next two weeks. Yeah and then you know the spotlights on you
because you suck. No one wants to be the worst in a band eh. Is it worth $133 to
find out who the worst in the band is according to the lead singer of New Zealand?
New Zealand or US dollars? New Zealand. Yeah I've converted it it. Cheaper ships, that's fine. Okay, so we'll pay her?
Yeah.
Okay, Pritish Kyle, if you could try and get hold of the boss's credit card at some point.
Yeah, okay cool.
And then, so he'll just look at it and go, that one's the worst.
So do we have any other questions or anything that we want to know?
No, I don't want to know anything else.
Okay.
Who should sing, maybe the, you know, that's not quite locked in.
We have had votes on who should sing the high bit.
Well, if he's saying who's the worst,
that's the person that shouldn't sing horribly.
Yeah.
And I honestly don't know if I wanna be singing
all that much as well,
because I'm starting to realise playing's difficult enough.
When you're trying to throw the singing in over the top,
I don't know how musicians do that.
Really, really difficult.
It's like they've got two brains.
Ridiculous.
Clint, Meg and Dan, is your job on the top five sexiest jobs
for men and women list?
Yeah, there's a list that's been released
and there is multiple lists.
Cause after I saw this one that was released
a couple of days ago, I sort of did a bit of research to see.
And I think it is a subjective thing,
but there was a couple, about five careers that come up multiple times in different lists.
So, um...
Maybe we could whip together the controversial top five again, which,
Dan, you can say what the list suggests, people can text in if they disagree, and then Meg's decision is always final, because she takes in everyone's
suggestions, and she'll land on the top five, which is controversial because no one ever agrees.
And before I get into the list,
there was another list that sort of supported this
that said not so much careers,
but things that people do during their job
that makes them more attractive.
And the number one thing was passion for what they're doing.
So if you're doing something, but you're passionate about it,
it almost trumps the career, which I think is great. Sounds like this list is gonna suck. No, I think so, I think if you're doing something but you're passionate about it, it almost trumps the career, which I think is great.
Sounds like this list is gonna suck.
No, I think so.
I think if you're passionate.
You know, have you seen that documentary
about the people that work at the fish shop?
Yeah, but that's not, Megan,
that's not gonna be in the top five sexiest jobs.
Just because they're passionate about scaling fish
doesn't make that sexy.
You'll be surprised to know a fish monger's not on there.
So I'm just gonna go through the top five.
So, coming in at number five was a business executive.
So if you're doing any type of business
where you're an executive in the business.
All right, if you're wearing suits,
you sound smart.
Yeah. You're powerful.
Number four, lawyers.
Now, I think they could be either way.
Because a lot of people, it depends on the lawyer.
I think if you're one of those asshole lawyers,
it's sort of like the same with a real estate agent.
I know I find female lawyers hot. Do you find male lawyers hot, Meg?
Yeah. Yeah, I think it's the same sort of vibe where it's like they're smart and they know what they're doing.
Controlling a room, everyone listens to them.
That's the hot thing about it. They could be a bit fugly.
Good with the words.
They could be a bit fugly, but it's not as soon as they start going know a massive room and they're just compelling. Anything with a briefcase maybe.
Number three emergency response so your firefighters your doctors
that are paramedics. Oh they're throwing all of them in one category and they only get third.
No that's just emergency response so yeah like ones that I guess
helicopter rescue helicopters those kind of people number two and this is the one I'm a little bit like really teachers no no even the
teachers I think would disagree that they're number two on the sexiest
occupations I went I was I was at school all the way up to year 13 and I had one
hot teacher if you're being a sexy teacher you're doing it wrong you should
not be trying to be sexy at school with children.
True. You're right, Clint.
That is probably... You want to be ugly.
Yeah, well, you'll be trying to at least dull down your sexiness
between the hours of 8.30 and 3.30.
Yeah, I think I had about three hot teachers.
I kind of get it. I kind of get it.
We've got Hannah on the line.
She's the first time caller,
and she's got to guess of what the number one is. Okay, yeah, get her on.
Morning Hannah.
Morning.
So what's your partner do that you think's hot?
Um, he's a mechanic.
Yeah, this is good.
Mechanic, I reckon, yeah, a mechanic should be up there.
Mm.
Are you still...
Sliding underneath, like, especially, I don't know, have you ever seen him do that thing where he's like lying on one of those
Fast and furious. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah covered in oil
You can't slide out from underneath the car and one of those trolleys and not look hot. Oh
Maybe you want to see if we can make it unhot.
We should actually.
You have to have a bit of grease on your face.
What about the grease under the nails though?
Isn't that a bit gross, Hannah?
It is, but he's a pretty clean guy though.
He has nail brushes, so yeah, nah,
that's not really an issue.
Okay, thanks Hannah. Is that correct? Sorry, did I miss it? Is that number one? No, it's not really an issue. Okay, thanks Hannah.
Was it, is it correct?
Sorry, did I miss it?
Is that number one?
No, it's not.
But it should be on the list, because I've spoken about my old hot mechanic.
Everybody that goes to this mechanic.
Yeah, Candy Automotive.
Candy Automotive.
Yeah, man, oh man.
Anyway.
What's his name?
Um, Dan doesn't even know his name.
He just knows he's hot and burst over him.
I can't remember his name.
I don't, and also I don't want to,'t want to shame him, because I think he is one of those shy hot guys that doesn't want to be.
He's married with kids, you know, that ride's closed.
The number one hottest profession, according to this study, is healthcare professionals.
Your doctors, your nurses, your therapists, your psychologists.
Do vets come under that? Because we've had somebody texting saying vets.
No, well it doesn't say anything about vets under that one.
29% of people voted the hottest profession is health care.
Okay, I would have thought they'd gone on emergency services.
No, emergency services was another category. Like police and fine-lent and stuff.
Yeah. Okay, agree or disagree? Have you got an occupation that
you think should have been in the top five
before Meg makes her final call next?
Yeah.
I mean the world's your oyster.
There'll be a lot of people that'll be like,
what?
How did strippers not make it in?
Last chance to get your vote in.
3343 0800 The Edge
before Meg compiles the controversial top five
sexiest jobs for men and women.
Dan read out the list.
Yeah.
But a lot of disagreement about whether it's accurate or not.
So this is the list that was studied very quickly.
Business executives, number five.
Lawyers, number four.
Emergency response people like firefighters and ambulance
officers, number three.
Teachers, number two.
Controversial.
And number one, health care workers, doctors and nurses.
They're going for like, oh, it's sexy because they're passionate.
Whereas I'm sort of thinking sexy because have you seen Magic Mike?
You know?
And also, yeah, we're going guys and girls with this whole thing, right?
We're going to be very broad with like, if it's hot for the guy worker, it's hot for
the girl worker too.
And I think so far my list is looking very good with that.
We've got Max, who's a first time caller.
Another one.
Good day Max.
Good day guys, how are ya?
Yeah, pretty good bro.
You're the second first time caller
we've had this morning.
She's about time you called us mate.
I was wondering what you're up to.
What's the hottest profession, my friend?
Definitely tradies, I reckon.
Oh yeah, tradies.
Girl tradies as well?
Both, we're talking-
Yeah, I reckon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Builders and plumbers, not so much sparkies, but builders and plumbers are.
Oh, bro, sparkies.
Sparkies, I love how they cop so much in for just showing up,
earning the most money for doing the least amount of work.
But plumbers...
Are being quite perceived.
Yeah, they're mostly usually nerds.
Plumbers are dealing with poo and stuff.
Yeah, I know, not the plumber as whole.
Like when they come out from underneath your house
and they're covered in your fecal matter and you're like, ugh.
Okay, but tradies, I get it.
Yeah, that is a very fair call actually.
Yeah, you're actually maxing out on these things.
Do you know what? Roofers, especially in the summer making things. Roofers, shirtless, and they're riveting, you know, you're a colour steel.
Well, you can't be shirtless if you're a girl. Remember, I know you're focusing mostly on the ladies.
No, that's what she wants to be.
But hey, hey, me. Don't you ever say that girls can do what they want to do.
Girls can do what they want to do, me.
It's illegal. It's to do. It's illegal.
It's honestly illegal.
It's not.
It is.
It is.
All right, let's go to Zara.
Zara, we're talking about the hottest profession
for guys and girls.
What do you think?
I think shears.
You know, sheep shears.
Oh, yeah.
Because it takes a lot of skill to be a sheep shearer, right?
Yeah, a lot of strength.
Yeah, it's a strong stamina to go for eight hours,
like, definitely share it.
Are you still talking about sharing?
I will say as well, I went to the agrodome recently,
down at Ōtorua, where they do a lot of sheep sharing there.
And it is a very, like, the way that they just grab
that sheep and manhandle it, in a humane way,
and are able to just share the whole kōla.
Dan can read the mind of the sheep.
Sheep's like, oh God, this is so lovely.
I'm not liking that.
Yeah, that's it.
L5, L4, you got it.
Thanks, you cracked that.
It's brilliant.
The sheep had a look on its face like it was enjoying it.
You know, like it was a lovely massage.
I think this one's too niche, but we'll take Danielle anyway.
Danielle, your one feels like specifically to your husband,
but what do you think is the hottest profession?
Paperworking machinery wise, like tractors, harvesters, all of that stuff. When you see in them, it's like, oh damn.
Yeah, but yours works at a vineyard. So he's probably just bringing home heaps of bottled wine. So that's probably a little sexy as well, I suppose.
Well, I don't drink, so. What a waste so that's probably a little sexy as well I suppose. Well I don't drink so...
What a waste!
I work on a vineyard too!
Oh my god you work at a vineyard and you don't drink?
That is crazy!
That's like working at a dentist and missing your teeth!
That's incredible!
Wow!
Does your husband drink or is he not a drinker as well?
No he doesn't drink either.
Wow! He's just working on a tractor at a vineyard.
He's not making the wine.
But I guess you'd be tempted to drink the product.
Yeah.
It'd be like being at a brothel
and being like a virgin.
No, it's totally different Clint.
Working a tractor at a vineyard
is different to being at a brothel.
Brothel virgin.
Well, I don't know.
I don't think, yeah, you're right, Meg.
He's not making the wine.
He's just picking the grapes.
Yeah, but you'd be like,
when you see it go from the grape
and then into the liquid and then put it in the barrels,
you go, but he doesn't.
I wonder what that tastes like.
He's out in the fields.
Are you still talking about the shrivels?
Oh, yeah, okay.
Okay.
I've got my top five.
Okay, here we go, Meg.
She's putting it together.
Okay.
From five to one, the sexiest occupations,
the controversial top five.
Ahem.
Number five, lawyers.
Yeah.
Number four.
That takes a lot of training.
Number four, paramedics.
There's something hot about someone saving a life.
I get that.
Number three, tradies.
Number two, I've gone left field again.
I think people will agree with me though.
Guys and girls, bartenders.
Oh yeah, they're spinning their bottles around.
Come on, it's something about them.
I've fallen in love with so many bartenders in my life.
And I think they're almost like,
some of them even average,
but something about how they've got a sullen sort of face
almost, they don't wanna talk to you.
Imagine when they rack up a drink and they go,
that one's on me.
Ooh! Ooh, that's hot. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Yeah, I think you need to and they go, that one's on me. Ooh! That's hot.
Pop, pop, pop, pop.
I think you need to put good bartenders
because there's some real crappers out there.
Okay.
Number one, I think the hottest profession
for ladies and men is very stereotypical.
Oh.
Firefighters.
Oh.
Come on, it's firefighters.
I do think it's stereotypical.
I think that, like, within reason,
there's probably some hot ones like every profession.
They play a lot of ping pong.
A lot of them are just average looking dudes.
I think nobody in the profession makes them hotter.
Sad to lifeguards.
Oh yeah.
Hey sitting there on the beach,
shirtless, running out and they had a TV show
about their industry, Baywatch.
One of the sexiest TV shows ever made.
Somebody's upset that I haven't put funeral directors
and Obama's in the top five.
Oh yeah.
I missed out on that one.
I don't know if that's a sexy job so much.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Scandal with Meg.
Yeah, The Weeknd is chatting about how he's creating a movie
and how he lost his voice.
You may remember when he did that TV show.
Did we find out what it was called, Clint?
The Idol.
The Idol, that's right.
Oh, that was honestly, I think,
the worst TV show I've ever watched in my entire life.
Do you think it was sort of the death of his career?
Because before that show,
it seemed like he was on a trajectory
to be the biggest star in the world.
Well, do you know why I think he copped so much flak?
Because sometimes you just get given a bad script
and you're like, oh man, I shouldn't have done that role.
All the cringey script writing,
it was revealed that he wrote.
He wrote all this like gross stuff.
So people were like, oh my God, who's the writer?
And he was like, I am.
Now, I don't know if that story has come out wrong
in the way that remember we were all told
that he couldn't sing because he got so deep
into his character and then he forgot how to sing.
When you're reading the comments, people would just saying he's really inspirational and it's almost reminding me
of you know how Shania Twain couldn't sing for a while.
She's got a disease that makes her unable to sing. I think she's got Lyme's disease.
And she physically lost her voice.
Because people are saying, because the movie's coming out tomorrow, he lost his voice and
he found a story that's real artist energy he's so inspirational have a listen to what
he says it got to a point where it was affecting the lines were blurring you
know it was affecting my stage performance and it was affecting people
spend a lot of money to come see to these shows you know they spend money
they they save up for you for a year and And it got to a point where oh my god
I can't give them what they want my voice is failing and I knew at that moment
I needed to sit down and figure out what was going on going on up there
Yeah, so it does sound like he did just get too lost in the role doesn't it?
I just want to get in the better for the doubt some people are saying I'm trying a great... Well Shania Twain was bitten by a tick and got Lyme disease.
Yeah so not quite the same. But the film is coming out tomorrow, it's called Hurry Up
Tomorrow and that's the inspiration behind it.
Didn't he just do one season and I'm looking at online at the moment, wasn't it five episodes?
It was one season and I think they were wanting to have a second season but I think it was
cancelled.
Yeah so he did five episodes of The Idol
and lost his singing voice.
Come on.
So, Dan, would you watch this?
It stars The Weeknd.
No, as soon as you say it starts The Weeknd, no.
Jenna Ortega.
Now you've got me.
Barry Kiogan, Kofkan.
Lost me again.
Okay, Charlie DiMaggio.
Never heard of him.
Okay, oh my God.
So I'd be there for Jenna Ortega, love her.
So the description is plagued by insomnia
Musician gets pulled into a nightmarish odyssey with a stranger who begins to unravel the very core of his existence
Sounds too artsy for me. Mmm. Oh, so is he saying he lost his voice because of this show you're talking about that
He's not this no this show inspired him because he lost his voice
It's almost the opposite of, you remember when Austin Butler played Elvis?
Yeah.
And he was Elvis since then. He's been Elvis.
But I feel like that might be different because the amount of singing he would have to do behind the scenes to try and mimic that voice.
Then you finish filming and your voice has kind of changed.
But it wasn't like The Weeknd was playing a character that couldn't sing. He was just playing a non-singing character.
So the Weekend stars as a fictionalised version of himself,
which is an insomniac musician on the verge of a mental breakdown
who's pulled into an existential odyssey by a mysterious stranger.
Somebody needs to go, hey Weekend, come here man.
Yeah, yeah, what's up?
Love your music, love your singing, love your albums and stuff.
You're really good at that.
Maybe just focus on those.
You just get back into albums.
No, but the problem is once you're at the peak
of your career.
Nobody can tell you.
Then you go, what else is there?
You need more.
And then that's why I think a lot of singers
then go and do acting and then, you know,
they keep branching off because they get bored
because they've clocked it effectively.
So why just keep doing something
that you've already clocked?
They're like, right now I want to try acting.
Is that where you're at with your life, Clint?
I've got to clock something first.
You feel good.
I was thinking you were like, yeah.
I've definitely tried a lot of shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A lot of the time they bail on me
before I can bail on them.
Yeah, you're just waiting to clock one thing.
Yeah.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
What going on in Miley Cyrus' life at the moment?
Hectic.
Yeah, so, yeah, lots going on with her dad, but she had to stick up for her mum the other
day, who has, you know, she loves and adores, they've got a very close relationship as
far as we can see, but she had to post on Instagram stories and stand up for mum and
her relationship.
Yeah, and I don't know how much I believe
what Miley said. Meg had the quote yesterday. So then Miley posted on her
stories and she doesn't do it very often so I thought this was quite
interesting she said I rarely comment on rumors there you go. But my mum and I are
too tight for anything to ever come between us. She's my best friend. Like a
lot of mums she doesn't know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me.
I mean, I'm not saying her and her mum's relationship is,
well, I guess if she unfollows her,
then maybe I am saying that.
I'm just looking at how to unfollow.
So if I go into Meg's profile.
I think it is a button that's right there
underneath her picture.
You could bump it, I suppose.
I click it, and then you've gotta go,
it's a very small button. Once you've even gone into their it and then you've gotta go, it's a very small button.
Once you've even gone into their profile,
then you've gotta hit it and then it asks you another thing
to go, are you sure you want it?
Or restrict, unfollow, so she's hit unfollow
and then has to choose another feature.
I pick BS.
It does seem a little odd,
but I've heard odder from parents.
I told you guys yesterday that a friend of mine
got very upset with their mom
because she went on a date with a guy and the guy was like,
your mum just tried to follow me on Facebook and she rang her mum and was like, what are you doing?
And she changed the language of her Facebook somehow and through that then started following this guy that my friend was seeing.
So it can happen. I think we've actually got Yaz in the, are you there Yaz in the producers booth?
She's on the day show.
I'm sure you know Yaz, but the seven was,
was it your parents?
This literally, this exact situation
you just said Meg happened to me
and it was hot friendess.
So I was seeing this guy for a week.
Like it was literally a week.
Like, and we're just talking online.
And then I talked to my mum about it.
I'm like, oh mum, like,
talking to this guy, his name is bleh bleh.
Full name. Yeah, bro. bleh bleh. Full name.
Yeah, bro.
Bleh bleh.
How did she find him on Instagram?
Hang on.
And then he, um, when in, I mean, sorry,
she went and requested him on Facebook.
But I don't think she meant to,
I think she was just trying to have a stalk
and then accidentally clicked the button.
Exactly, they don't mean to, right?
That's exactly where it's so similar.
So there's two instances where mums got told a name of some boy that their daughter's dating
and ended up following them on Facebook.
Okay, but then what happened when he gets a friend request from your mum?
What's the damage control on that?
He thought he was in. He was like, oh, let's date.
And actually we've been dating ever since.
Oh, so you're mum?
So he said, you're welcome.
He's lucky that you like that because there would be a lot of people that just give them instant
ick, bob, gone.
Did not work out for my friend.
Yeah, no definitely not.
Okay, useless parents on social media.
Is your mum or dad like just shocking when it comes to Instagram, Facebook, whatever.
If you've got a young, you'd love to hear it.
How bad are they?
He must be so thankful for Yaz's mum now because he is, what a catch. What a catch he's got now with Yaz.
Oh, I mean...
Yeah, yeah.
Look at her, she's doing little moves in the producers' booth right now.
Now that's a key, you know. Just take the wha...
Don't do that, though.
Ed Sheeran, Galway Girl, 0800 The Edge.
We will sort somebody out with a double pass to our must-see movie for our favourite caller.
We're talking useless parents on social media after Miley Cyrus says her mum unfollowing her on Instagram was a mistake.
Even despite the fact you have to actually click two separate buttons to unfollow someone that you
already follow. It's a two-step process. It's a one button click to follow but to unfollow
you go unfollow and then it gives you options. Yeah. So she's had to do two clicks which I find
hard to believe that she did that on out of a mistake. Yeah, when it comes to technology.
I know, but how do parents,
like as I said, like from the situation
with my mum's friend,
how did she manage to change the language of her Facebook
and then request a friend?
She didn't do that on purpose, there's no way.
My most fun story from my old man,
they're very like just technology illiterate, not just on media but my dad back when we were rocking DVDs got given
like a box set for Band of Brothers. Oh yeah I love this story. I asked him how it was going
he goes it's really hard to follow and then I realized what he had done there
are four EPs on each disc so he put the first disc in and watch it one taking it out put the second disc in and watch it five taking it out so you watch one five nine
and I was like dad oh you know you're really bad with technology of DVDs are
confusing you. So if you've got a parent you've got a story we'd love to hear from you
I'll wait under the edge. Hey Jade. Good morning. Good morning, was it your mum's Facebook or your dad's?
My mum's Facebook.
What's she done?
So not her, so my dad shares her Facebook
because he doesn't have one
and he's allowed to scroll but not touch anything.
Thank you.
Okay.
Because he was liking all these things
and my mum was like, what the heck?
But anyway, he accidentally tapped on this ad for like a house sale or something like that.
Yeah.
And then my mom kept getting emails and everything from all these real estate agents reaching out to her.
And, and, um, yeah, it's still going on now.
They're still trying to sell her out.
So the fact that dad's allowed to like, look, but he's not allowed to click or touch anything it's like a child.
Yeah, it's like my daughter when she wants to use TikTok filters.
I think I've clicked on a similar one that is because I keep getting ads for single milfs in my area.
Is it like a thing I've clicked?
No it must be your wife she's using your Instagram.
Right yeah that's probably her we've got a joint Facebook as well.
Yeah, that's probably her. We've got a joint Facebook as well.
Damn you, Evie!
We'll move on, please. Tamara, morning.
Good morning. Morning, Tamara.
When did they stuff up? Social media?
Well, this wasn't a parent. It was a friend of mine.
So she was actually in her 20s at the time, but I was playing Cupid
and told her a guy's name I wanted to set her up with.
And so we were doing a little searchy-search on Facebook on the phone with each other.
And she accidentally updated her Facebook status to his name instead of searching it.
Oh my god, that sucks.
And then this is the worst nightmare stuff.
On both countries.
With however long it takes to realise and take down.
How long was it up for before she realised
that she was saying, deleted it?
It was only a few minutes.
Oh, thank God.
But she realised there was a rush, like nothing else.
But Dan, wouldn't it still be in your history, man,
when your history was on your wall?
So if you changed your profile pic,
and if I had Meg change her profile pic,
and it would tell everyone.
Well, what happens, that even if you delete it,
if somebody has, if it's, it doesn't delete straight away
in front of somebody's eyes,
you have to refresh the page. So if somebody was scrolling, it would still be sitting there.
My mother-in-law posted her bank account details to her Facebook story. Twice.
Just in case someone wants to transfer her money.
And let's go to Chelsea as well. Chelsea, what was your dad doing? Why was he useless
with social media? Oh, good morning. My dad interviewed someone for a job.
Yeah.
And then he went onto my Facebook and stalked the person.
Okay.
And he accidentally friend requested them.
Nightmare.
Then it turned out he employed her,
and then it was so awkward when I met her.
Oh yeah, cause she was your,
she thinks you randomly added her.
Like your dad was bragging about her
and you're going, she sounds cool,
I might try to be friends with her.
We can be friends?
Yeah.
Yuck.
Wow.
Hey, Chelsea, I'm gonna send you a double pass
to our musty movie, Mission Impossible,
the final reckoning, it's out in cinemas on Saturday. Enjoy.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Is there anything cuter, though, than two parents have a joint Facebook?
I know. And you can go on for five minutes, but no clicking on anything.
John? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My grandparents just have a joint one. Bless them.
Oh, so sweet.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Let's give away some cash, eh?
Our long lost Uncle Will passed away, and we're dead serious about giving away his cash.
This is the Edge Will to win.
I always knew he had money.
Do you think so? Yeah, he gave it.
They hid it away somewhere, right?
Because he didn't, taking a look at him, you wouldn't know.
I think he's one of those guys
that used to hide it under his bed,
like he had cash under his mattress.
Well, I say those people that spend a lot,
they don't have anything in their bank account.
And you're like, where the hell's money?
It's cash money that they can't put in the bank
because otherwise they get audited.
He didn't like banking cards.
I remember him telling me one time,
like he didn't have any credit cards or anything
because he thought the government was following him.
I think they were.
They were, yeah, they were after tax.
I thought he was just kind of going paranoid.
He was shocking with names.
So he can't remember who he's given all of his cash to,
but he has got three specific criteria
that if you meet, that cash could be yours.
Take a listen.
G'day, it's your uncle Will here.
Now the next item I'd like to pass down is 250 bucks.
And the person I'm leaving it to
was the poor bugger getting married
in Vegas when I drunkenly mistook their wedding ceremony for the grand opening
of Bunnings. Yeah okay it's quite clear to me now that running in and screaming
where's the sausage says oh while forcing your partner to get down on all
fours and pretend to be a barbecue was not appropriate. Though I must say they
cooked a bloody good snag.
Now the problem is it's been a while
and I can't remember your name,
but I do remember that the person I left the money to
has a dog, they're right-handed
and they've been married in Vegas.
Quite specific that one.
So you've got a dog, you're right-handed
and you've been married in Vegas before.
If that is you, call us at 800 The Edge.
It's weird that he remembers lots of facts but just never remembers names.
Yeah, it's like Meg though.
Like if she meets someone and their name's Robin, she'll go Robin, Robin, Batman and Robin.
So she's got to remember another thing to remember the name.
The problem is when they come back she calls them Batman because she's forgotten.
I get it. I forget which one is the right one.
Meg's like, hey, so good to see you again.
And they're like, why does she keep doing that?
Helps her remember.
All right, Uncle Will, not good with names,
but he does remember specific details
of the people he's left his money to.
If you've just tuned in, here were the criteria.
The person I left the money to has a dog,
they're right-handed, and they've been married in Vegas.
Mm, that's quite specific.
It's very specific, but apparently apparently the person knows who they are.
It's in theory Eve this morning.
Morning Eve.
Hi.
Hey Eve.
I think the first two are easy enough.
A lot of people are going yup, yup and then married in Vegas.
Nah.
Yeah no I've been married in Vegas.
I got married to my husband Mike,
which is really fun and very spontaneous.
And you're still married now?
Yes, we are still married, so it's lasted a year.
Okay, and what's your dog's name?
Lulu.
Lulu, okay.
That checks out.
I'd love to throw a ball at her
and see which hand she catches it with.
Yeah, okay.
We'll have to take your word for that one.
We do have one more, I think it's like a bit
of a security question to make sure you are the right Eve.
Yeah, if you get this one right, the cash is yours.
You're almost there, Eve.
All right, if it is really you, you'll get this easily.
What was the name of the chapel you got married at?
Ooh, now does she remember?
It was just one, like, I forget the name the whole time.
It was the Lucky Little Wedding.
Lucky Little Wedding. Let me see if that exists.
Okay, there's a lot of chapels in Vegas.
Yeah, I've got the, over 50.
Yeah.
He's just doing it quickly with the Lucky Little Wedding.
I mean, it is kind of mean if you got married in Vegas
and were like, we don't believe you.
Indeed, there is the lucky little wedding chapel
in Las Vegas.
Wow, darling.
And that's where you're from.
She knows where she got married.
And I guess if it is one of those things you did on a whim
and you just found a chapel,
then maybe it is something you wouldn't necessarily just-
It was a bit spontaneous.
We were there for a family holiday and we're like does it does it count as like a actual legitimate
wedding back here in New Zealand Eve? I don't know. Would you have to get back here?
You don't know. Are you married? Yeah have you been married in New Zealand as well?
No I haven't but we're thinking of doing one later on. Okay so it was like a fun thing and you get married and you go through all the
all the things you need to do I suppose to get married but then unaware if it's
officially recognised throughout the world.
It's only a hundred bucks to get married there.
I got married in Vegas years ago I used to work with Johnno and Ben and we went over there for a thing
and I got married to Johnno and it lasted a year it was like this license that
lasted a year and it was only valid in Nevada. Wow yeah that's
weird yeah so if we went back within that year I think we've got the same
rights as any married couple in the state of Nevada. There are state to state across America they've got
crazy laws and rules eh. Yeah. Alright well congratulations Eve 250 bucks all yours
from Uncle Will's will and we will play play again, nine o'clock this morning,
so in less than an hour, 45 minutes,
we'll give you another crack at winning more
of Uncle Will's cash if you meet the criteria.
Something that did happen in the video filming,
they actually surprised us with the funeral.
We weren't aware that Uncle Will's funeral was happening
in the studio here on Friday.
Dan went up to go and say something and
unfortunately, he dropped the ball.
Uncle Will, I just want to say I loved you.
Really good. Thanks for handing me all the por-
That's on fire.
That's on fire.
Sorry. I'll put that on fire. Break it down.
I put that on your candles there Will.
I had one of those little things, order of service.
And I accidentally put it, there was candles everywhere.
And I put it down on the table thinking it was the table but it was a candle.
And so the whole thing lit on fire.
And we all had a bit of a laugh.
And it was nice, it lightened the mood.
It did lighten the mood when we didn't really know what was going on.
And one of the more stories out there about what made the funeral a little bit funny.
Because it is supposed to be, you know, well, I don't think it's supposed to.
Sometimes it's a really cool celebration of one's life.
I guess it depends what they wanted their funeral to be, if they had a say in it.
But, yeah, it is nice to have sometimes something a little bit lighter happen during a funeral where everyone can have a laugh.
If you've got a story you'd like to share, we'd love to hear it.
I'll wait under the edge.
We'd love to know what made the funeral a little bit funny or memorable.
After, I guess, Dan, when we were having Uncle Will's funeral on Friday,
ended up putting the order of service next to one of the candles and it caught fire here in the studio.
We were worried that the sprinklers were going to come on and ruin all the gear.
Oh, there's some great stories coming through. Dan, do you have one?
Yeah, well, I remember, it was a couple of years ago
when I was working on the afternoon show
with Sharon and Jaden, and we had a guy call through,
and he was a pallbearer for, I think, his uncle.
Right.
And they were carrying out the coffin,
and he had dress pants that he hadn't worn in a while,
and he'd lost some weight, and so they were very loose.
Oh no, he's the pallbearer.
And as they were walking out,
his pants were falling down.
So at the end when they got to the hearse,
his pants were on his ankles.
And then what do you do?
In that situation I normally would try and,
I'm a fixer, so I'd wanna go and fix it,
but then you can't pull somebody's pants up
while they're carrying a coffin.
No, yeah, I would.
I'd do it to my husband, obviously,
but to a stranger maybe not. No, yeah, I would. I'd do it to my husband, obviously, but to a stranger, maybe not.
Or his panzer.
Yeah, no way I'm getting out of my seat
and trying to help your awkward situation
by involving myself.
Oh God, Clint, you'd be bent over, Cat Clint.
I love this text.
I was pregnant at my nana's funeral.
My sister was next to me, my cousin came up
and said, oh, congratulations, you're pregnant,
and rubbed her belly.
But he got the wrong sister, she wasn't pregnant.
So he rubbed the wrong person's belly.
So congratulations, she was like, no, that's not me.
A few too many asparagus rolls of the way.
Yeah.
Oh, bugger.
You've gotta be really, it's really risky manoeuvre
as a guy to go pregnant and rub a belly.
Rub a belly is very bad.
Do you know who was it? John Too Good from She Hard came in and he goes,
Congratulations to Meg and then she did the thing I tried to get my wife doing all the time.
She goes, for what?
I love it.
I'm too heavily pregnant now though.
It was so much fun when it was just pregnant.
I actually had somebody in the industry, the music industry,
congratulate me before I'd announced it, before you guys knew.
And I thought that was bold.
Wow.
Because I didn't think I was showing that.
My goodness.
I didn't think I was showing.
Very bold.
Yes, very bold.
And the producer, Booth?
Have you guys ever heard of the story of it was after the funeral, someone's getting lowered
into the grave and they wanted the song by Dido Thank You except someone messed up with the music and did
Stan in M&M 1. Oh yeah, where he's talking about.
He's got his girlfriend in the booth and stuff.
You'd be like, man, you're like, Aunty Mil was a big rap fan, I didn't even know.
That's weird.
What an aggressive song, Aunty Mil.
Yeah.
You're like, wait guys, wait guys,
the chorus is coming, the chorus is coming.
I do love the music stuff up in a funeral.
It's always funny.
Can you not want to do this, I suppose?
And it is nice to have a little lighter,
something a bit lighter happen during a funeral,
you know, so it's not all sombre.
I think it should be a celebration of someone's life
and should be a bit fun at times.
I think so.
But I guess it depends on what they want.
Yeah.
Some people might just want a sad funeral.
They'll be like, stop it, don't have fun of mine.
Yeah, I don't want anyone miserable that I'm gone.
Clint Megan Danz.
Clint Megan Danz.
Do what you want, do what you want.
All right, stories we want to chuck on your radar
for Tuesday, 13th of May.
Yeah, something I'm personally gutted about.
I know it won't affect you guys, but it is kind of just sad for any sort of person that's a vegetarian.
After you might have known if you are a vegetarian, Sunfed Meats shut down earlier this year,
which did a fake chicken and fake mince product, which was really awesome, but it was too expensive to continue.
In fact, it was so successful, that's why I couldn't get my head around,
that it was in a lot of restaurants and even St
Pierre sushi did a Sunfed chicken sushi
So it was like really successful and it still wasn't enough
And now vegans and not want to spend more money
Um, I think it was just that less and less people more people have been going back to like the carnival diet and stuff
We've just seen that that's trending like people any meat and butter no carnival diet, which is just meat and butter
Oh, yeah, just meat and butter. Oh yeah. Just meat and butter.
I guess it sucks if you are trying to make a difference in the world by being vegetarian,
and then you're disadvantaged by it being way more expensive,
and then you go, well I can't afford to be ethical.
Well now, Bean Supreme, I'll show you guys the packaging because you'll recognise it,
it's in supermarket, because Clint, I know've bought these for me before for a barbecue.
They now have gone under.
So you can't buy Bean Supreme products anymore.
They do the sausages, they're in a white packet and you get them in the kind of deli, like
the meat section where they have hams and stuff.
White little packet that they hang up on the racks.
It's got mince, red onion, parmesan sausages, sage and onion sausages.
They have now also just declared that they have gone under and you can buy their products until June but not after
Which is like two major? Yeah, I just find it really interesting
They're two major vegetarian product companies in New Zealand. Is it easy enough to make your own fake meat?
Like could you could you throw together and freeze a whole load of foe meat patties?
I could do that in the way that I'm relatively good at cooking
But yeah, it would definitely be tougher
to make it nice if you're not that good.
From some bad news to worse news,
ex-all black Ali Williams and his wife Anna Mowbray
used to own part of Zuru Toys.
Turns out their $24 million Westmere Mansion
includes a helipad, but they don't know
if they're gonna be able to use it.
1,300 submissions opposing them having a helicopter so they've just started a four-day hearing
yesterday to go through it all and a lawyer for the couple has said the
application is for no more than two takeoffs and landing flights per day and
per day but up to ten per month so if they did two in day, then they're only allowed eight more takeoff and landings
that month.
Oh for god's sake, if you want to have a helicopter move somewhere else.
And they're only going to fly it within a two hour window, which is pretty annoying
for millionaires, a two hour window either side of low tide when birds are out feeding,
which the environmentalists don't like.
But I would say the birds will get out of the way
and then they'll go back when the helicopter's gone.
They're not idiots.
I've got a really great solution for them.
Come out, move out to West Auckland.
We're not bothered by helicopters.
Yeah, you've got the police running,
hovering over all the time.
I've got all the police there all the time.
I wouldn't know any difference.
Come up to Massey.
We used to call it the Rānuī Raven.
Yeah, go to Rānuī.
I think it just screams. You'll love it there. Just get the biggest mansion there and we wouldn't any different. Come move to Massey. We used to call it the Ranui Raven. Yeah, go to Ranui. I think it just screams.
You'll love it there, just get the biggest mansion there
and we wouldn't even know the difference.
It screams jealousy from the neighbours,
if you're asking me.
And who knows, they might let you use it sometimes.
No.
It's a very effluent, affluent area.
Yeah, effluent means it's full of crap.
Oh, I think it's about.
Someone say it is.
You're talking about Massey again, I think.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That made them sort of effluent area. But I think that you're right,. Someone say it is. You're talking about Massey again, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That meds in an effluent area.
But I think that you're right, most of them would probably want a helipad and they're
just jealous they didn't think of it.
Yeah, or can't afford it.
They're not quite on the cusp of affording their own.
They can just hire it from time to time.
And I think the council probably looks at it and goes, well, if we give them one, it
opens the floodgates for everybody that wants a helipad, right?
Yeah, I feel for them.
And speaking of effluent, 64 New Zealand beaches have been deemed unsafe due to fecal
contamination. So I just googled this, 80 beaches in Auckland apparently. And how
many? 64. And 64 of them make unswimable. I mean thankfully not many people are swimming at the
moment but yeah it's just gross, it's disgusting. It's one of the things I hate the most about
living in Auckland actually. And it's because of the excess rainfall that we've had over the last few days
and so it's brought all the poo's into the Minnesotans.
Hell! It's not like we have poo's just lying all over the ground and the rains just like washing it into the ocean.
Well apparently we do, Clint. Unfortunately.
It's a heat, it's from Massey.
It comes from Beggs Road.
My house.
It runs down her driveway into the ocean.
Sorry about that, team.
You really need to stop doing it on your driveway. Clint, Meg's road. My house. It runs down her driveway into the ocean. Sorry about that, Tim.
You really need to stop doing it on your driveway.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
We were trying to find out, off the back of Mother's Day,
if anyone talked to their mum
more times per day than our Meg.
Yeah, a couple of times a day.
Definitely once a day every day.
And if I don't, then one of us will be like,
what's happened?
Are you dead?
Are you dead?
Yep.
It's less on the weekends to be fair.
It's normally when I'm driving home
or when she's driving somewhere.
And then, yeah, three times.
And then we ended up finding out lots and lots
and lots of people are the same
when it comes to their mums and daughters.
Yeah.
You had nothing on this caller
who actually FaceTimes more than twice
the amount of calls you make to your mum.
So my mum lives in Australia and we are extremely close. and I will FaceTime her five or six times a day.
I'll FaceTime her when I'm getting ready for the day doing my face, having breakfast, having a coffee.
Yeah and just throughout the day see what she's doing and I FaceTime my dad. They both live together.
She's saying as well she does it at seven but but they're in Australia, so they're two hours behind.
So mum's taking her first FaceTime call at 5.
And I think we'd spoken to her at 8 o'clock our time
and she'd already spoken to her mum.
Yeah, she'd already spoken to her at that time.
Which would have been like 5 a.m. in Australia.
And then we got this text and we thought,
maybe that's worse.
Yeah, we've got Alexa on who sent this text.
Alexa, wasn't an exaggeration when you sent us,
my husband could call his mum up to six times a day easily.
Absolutely not, he just, he loves his mum,
probably more than me, and he just, yeah,
he's just always touching base,
makes him sure she's all right.
It could be just a short conversation
or a longer conversation, and yeah,
they just get on like a house on fire,
and he just loves it a bit, so, yeah just loves it a bit. It's really nice.
It's really nice and it doesn't six times a day.
Do you know?
It could be more.
What's the max you reckon like you've noticed in a day?
Um, maybe it could be up to 10.
I mean when I first met him, like this is going back 17 years ago now.
I thought it was a bit strange actually, a bit full on,
but just over the years, I'm just like,
it's just so lovely.
And is mum like you?
Because if she didn't, I imagine she would have quite a say
maybe in who he dated or married.
Yeah, no, we get on most of the time.
Wait, okay, so what percentage of the time
is he calling her versus her calling him?
He would be definitely doing the calling, yeah. It would be pretty much, I would say, I'd just send him calling her, yeah calling him? Oh he would be definitely doing the calling yeah it would be pretty best I would say I'd just send him calling her yeah.
That's crazy. Now I'm starting to feel sorry for mum.
I feel sorry for Alexa. She's sort of second best.
Alexa sounds happy enough.
Hey Alexa play Defying Gravity.
God she's good. That's pathetic. Hey thanks Alexa. Sorry I just cut you off early there.
Terrible. She's a good Alexa. That's terrible. I know I'll pitch up nice and slow for Dan
to her. Someone's just texted, oh Sam just texted and said that's a big ick. It's a big
ick. But really. I want to know is that a big ick. It's a big ick. They really are. I want to know, is that a big ick for both?
Is it just because he's a boy with his mum
or is it because it would be the same
if a girl called her mum?
Yeah, I think it matters.
I think it's the number.
Six times a day.
I think there's nothing nicer
than a guy that treats his mum well.
I think that, but when, this is another level.
Six times a day, that's wrong.
I think that Alexa is cool with it.
Yeah.
We want you to give us a call,
and we're going, if you want to let us decide
where your man sits on the mama's boy scale.
So you tell us what your man does,
and then we'll work out whether it's like a two out of 10,
or whether it's like a nine out of 10,
and he's a giant mama's boy.
I do remember one time a guy rang up and said
that his mum still, even though he was married,
came round and just did his laundry.
Mommies boy.
Oh what is this?
Oh come on, I'm going to stick up for our momma's boys here.
Okay what does your man still do, get his mum to do, do with his mum and we'll let you
know if it's where he sits on the momma's boy scale out of here.
It's the mum's fault, she's the enabler.
Yeah, yes, true.
Where are momma's boys at?
If you have a boyfriend or husband
and there is something that they still get their mum to do
where you're like, alright, I want the guys to decide where on the momma's boy scale his activity sits,
this is the bit for you.
And Meg, in your opinion, between Clint and I, who's more of a momma's boy?
Dan. She hadn't...
Wait, he hadn't finished the question.
Oh, sorry, what was the question?
No, that was...
Oh, okay.
Just let me finish that next time, would ya?
Yeah, sorry about that.
Yeah.
Um, oooooh, no, I think you.
Although, Dan and Clint also wouldn't get...
I know you got a tattoo without your mum's permission, Dan, so...
No, but she wants me to get a tattoo.
That's how badass Jules is.
She's a tattoo gal where's your mom come from?
And you didn't want one but you got it anyway and you regret it now?
Yeah now I regret it.
So I'm a momma's boy and also a pussy.
Yeah good I'm glad that we've got that.
I don't have a pussy thing but I do have a mum.
Mommy's boy.
Okay Adele what is your husband up to and we'll decide where on the momma's boy scale
he sits.
So about three years ago, my father-in-law moved in with us and we'd just finished packing
up the truck with all his furniture and he turns around and said, so time for me to go
dig up the wife.
And went into the backyard, dug up his wife's stashes, and are now in our garden in a flower pot
with a little statue and lavender.
So my husband has his mum buried in our garden.
I think it's nice.
Am I the only person that thinks that's kind of sweet?
But what happens if you move house Adele?
You just gotta take the whole-
Well, we own the house, but it's in a flower pot
and we would dig her up again.
And it's basically until when Dad passes away, then their ashes will be scattered together.
Oh, that's lovely.
I mean, people keep their parents in their lounge in the little ashes thing.
So, I don't know, I think he's low, low, low tier.
And this way we get to go in the garden and have a cup of tea with Mum.
Yeah, it's so lovely. I think it's sweet. I gave like a one or a two. Here's a question though, low, low tier. And this way we get to go in the garden and have a cup of tea with mum. Yeah, isn't that so lovely? I think it's sweet.
I gave like a one or a two.
He's a question of a day.
When she was alive,
was she doing his washing or anything like that?
No, he moved out of home fairly early 20s.
He's not a mum's boy.
I don't think he's good.
He's a good man.
He passes.
He's just rocking the line nicely, I think.
Okay, do we want to take somebody that said my hubby is the least mummers boy?
Well that's sort of not what we're asking.
They just want to one.
Jonathan has admitted that he's a mummers boy though.
Morning Jonathan.
Morning guys, how's it going?
You're good.
Okay, give us something to work with and we'll work out where on the scale of one to ten on the mama's boy
scale you set
Okay, why what was the last thing you got your mom to do
I normally do most of the things myself, but like just based off the call earlier with the girl
I said, you talk to her mom like six, ten times a day.
I could probably easily talk to mum, I'd say about the same amount.
With me calling her and her calling me.
And you're the one doing the calling or who's doing most of the calling out?
It's about 50-50.
Okay.
What are you talking to your mum about that many times a day?
Sometimes she'll like call me when I'm like coming home from work, sometimes I'll
call her or if I'm just out doing something I might call to see if she needs anything
or if she just like wants me to grab something if I'm out or if she wants something.
Does she live alone?
Uh, no, she lives with her husband.
Right.
Oh, and I do those things.
I feel like Jonathan wears the Momma's Boy badge proudly.
Yeah, it's nice. Do you think because he's admitted it he's not a Momma's Boy? He can do those things. I feel like Jonathan wears the Mummers Boy badge proudly. Mmm.
Yeah, it's nice.
Do you think because he's admitted it, he's not a Mummers Boy?
Is that what you're saying?
No, I think he knows.
He's just trying to get in there before we can throw him under the bus.
He's already like lying down and rolling underneath her.
And then it feels mean to kick him under now.
He's already there.
I got a text that's come in saying,
my last time I used to talk with his mum on the speakerphone.
I got home one afternoon and she said,
I don't know why you why you say you love me
when you obviously don't and he would go back saying yes mum I love you you know
I do and she goes no you don't and it went on for about three minutes
That's more than a mum is boy that's sick
That's sick
How much do you love me?
You tell me
I think it's great that you got a relationship,
a cool relationship with your mum.
I do personally think six phone calls plus a day is too much,
but that's why the world's fun, because we're all different.
Yeah, and mums would love,
they just love a phone call from their kid, don't they?
No matter what, usually.
I think my mum would take six calls a day over no calls a day.
She says I don't call her enough.
I, yeah, I think if we were to ask Christine,
she'd just shotgun six. I always call her. She says I don't call her enough. I, yeah, I think if we would ask Christine
she'd, she'd shotgun sex.
I always call her.
Every time I need a babysitter,
she's the first person that I call.
Oh, Clint.
I can't believe it.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Stinky boo.
And our very first performance in less than two weeks,
which is bloody scary.
We're doing another.
Clint, Megan, Dan are on a mission
to see if they can start a band
with zero prior musical experience.
And after being turned down to open for Mitch James...
That was so shit.
I love you all individually as people, but as a band, one of the worst.
We started hunting for a new event to play at.
It's my 40th. It's at the Devonport RSA.
An RSA?
Ooh, I've always wanted to play an RSA.
And I've got kegs of espresso martini. Kegs of espresso!
You should have led with that!
Oh, great!
Well, now that's sorted.
We pretty much have everything set, right?
Now we just have to practice.
Kirkabane's turning in his grave right now.
Oh, God, I was practicing last night
and I was texting you two and I was just like, impossible.
I've just realised it's impossible to be ready
into weekend's time.
Oh, with that attitude. No, I just, I'm getting like, impossible. I've just realised it's impossible to be ready in two weekends time. Not with that attitude.
No, I just, I'm getting that, you know,
when you guys are practicing,
I'm getting that whole thing that I can't even practise.
You know when you procrastinate
because you're just too nervous about it?
Do you know what I blame?
Our very first rehearsal where we just learnt the chorus.
So a nice easy bit, no transitions, anything.
And it was just like, oh my God, we've got this.
We got this, we're riding high.
We try and learn the whole song with all the transitions.
No good.
What do we do if it gets to next Friday, the day before Olivia's 40th, with 80 people from
the Navy, and we know we can't play it from start to finish without mistake?
We just have to play it.
We have to do it, Clint. We've got those Navy people, those sailors, those seamen are wanting
a performance.
I'm not letting them down with their performance.
So return from war and they want a brilliant performance.
Okay, so let's say we're going to war and we've just realised that we've got five in our army and they've got 500.
We still run out there, just get absolutely massacred.
Yeah, 100%.
Have you not seen any main war movies? That's actually quite inspirational when they're like
I know like I there's 500 of them and three of us and we ride together
Yeah, okay, all right, well this is the bit I was trying to learn
Yesterday it's the the end of Teenage Dirtbag, which is the song we're covering.
That's obviously a full band, so it's going to sound a little different when you hear just me playing my guitar at home. At the jams baby.
White.
Okay.
The beat needs to come out.
White. White. Wait.
The thing is it's too slow. You need to be double the speed.
Okay mate, that's as fast as my fingers will move at the moment.
While I'm singing I'm not going to be like...
And I'm just a teenage
It'll be annoying
I won't even know how to jump in there
We only do one song but it's like an eight minute song
Just to fill the time
Honestly we won't be ready
We won't, our practice was so't. I've practiced for so long.
And I'm going to do all that I can in the next two weeks.
But honestly, I don't want to run out to battle when I know we're just going to die instantly.
But I think once you, Meg and I are playing with each other, we will be faster.
Clem, you would be so shit in the Lord of the Rings.
You don't want to run out to battle when you know you're going to die instantly.
That's all you've got to do.
I'd be like, go guys, go!
And you'd all run out. While I'm still sending the last one out
the first one's already dead
sorry Clint are you coming?
why are you going back inside?
hold on I forgot my clocks
no no
me and dad are taking people down there
we're just slidin out
where's Clint?
Clint! I'm just saying there's don't you come over to my house?
I'm just saying, there's no shame in waving the white flag if we know we're going to ruin
someone's 40th birthday celebration.
Why don't you come over to my house just this afternoon, just you Clint, and you play with
me for about an hour and we can sort of get...
What do I do?
Who am I playing with?
You can watch.
Anything else.
I'd rather do anything else.
Alright, let's find out how good Dan goes if I'm playing in slow motion.
Tomorrow, I'd like you to bring a little piece, Dan.
You can bring a little piece for us to critique.
Okay, I will.
I'll tell you what, it's a damn sight better than what you've been doing.
I will say.
I'm a bit faster. Not much.
Your chance to win.
Holy shit! You made it the whole way through!
If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast.
See you tomorrow!
And then if that's not enough, check out our only band, Podcast it is.
