This is a podcast from Rover.
If this podcast was a person, it would be banned from family gatherings.
Oh, piss off, Uncle John.
This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Good morning. Welcome, welcome.
Clint Meaghan, it is 1.6 on your Wednesday 1st of July.
Pinch and a punch.
Happy Wednesday.
Meg's already pinched and punched me.
She gave me a dead arm.
Yeah, actually, Clint waited in the car to do it to me.
Oh, Clint, now you need to stop punching women.
It's really disgusting, actually.
As long as you pinch them first.
Yeah, but he used as an excuse of the first of month every time.
He gets so excited every month that he gets to punch me.
It's outrageous, really.
It's horrific, really.
It started off as a little thing, then we realize that Meg really loves it.
Yes, we've gone for years now.
Yeah, and so then there was plans to go around to Meg's house and, like, ride at her place at, like, 4.30 in the morning so we could make sure we get it.
And it got it a little out of control.
I think that's called assault when you hide in someone's covered and then come out and punch them.
I think actually officially around this time, guys, this is.
It's been a year since I went off on my maternity leave, isn't it?
Start of July.
A year?
Yeah.
So I've been and gone and come back and all of it.
That doesn't seem that long, to be honest.
It goes very fast, doesn't it when you think about life?
And then, yeah, it's only Wednesday.
I know.
Still two days to go and then Clint's on holiday.
Damn it.
Which one is this one?
The cruise?
Yeah.
Oh, far out.
How many cruises?
He's got like a special concession comes.
I think it's like 10 cruises get one free.
Yeah, that's what it is.
like that.
Yeah. Yeah.
I should look into that because I'm missing out of that as a thing.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Every Caller Wins, GTA6 on Friday.
We're just talking about when you get in the game.
What's the first thing you do?
Carl jumped in a car, our producer,
and then scrolls through all the different radio stations on offer.
I was that much of a radio nerd when I was a kid.
I was, like, loving all the radio stations.
Yeah.
That is a fun thing to do because there's different genres of music you can listen to when driving the car.
It's such a great guy.
Yeah, you're going to love GTA6 because,
I hear Dan, you start as a woman.
So you can just drive around and you can like pick up prostitute guys, I suppose.
Mm, apparently.
No, obsess with dudes.
It's like you're on your rock.
All right.
Let's go into more or less.
A different type of game.
More, one that you can play indoors.
I know actually all three of you boys like this game inside the room, Carl, Clint Dan, Lego.
Something about Lego that boys love.
Eagles, obviously, but you guys specifically.
Massively, when I was a kid loved Lego.
It's like, my wife loves a puzzle
and just love zoning out on like, you know, summer holidays,
but Lego's so much better than puzzles.
Can I say I said to a guy the other day,
how impressed I was somehow, and I guess the word is impressed,
that Lego have made the marketing feel so family-friendly
and so, like, it's a lovable brand that, like,
there's a lot of plastic.
There's a lot of plastic with Lego.
And we've got in this time and age of like get rid of the plastic
and Shen and T-Mil and all this plastic
and put it in the bin and plastic.
the worst and get wooden toys.
But Lego, for some reason, is like stayed above that nobody's...
Well, making sections.
The plastic issue is if it's disposable plastic, right?
Like, I dare...
You're not throwing away Lego.
No, it can last a generation.
Goldie, my daughter's playing with the Lego I used when I was a kid.
Exactly, but that just shows how long it lasts forever, and now we're making it and getting
more...
Anyway, I'm going to guess it.
I just thought it was very clever.
When you have six or seven bags of Lego, though, is it coming in brown paper bags now
as opposed to plastic things?
No, it's still plastic bags.
But nobody...
Yeah.
For some rate, Lego has gone away with it.
Yeah, well, it's okay.
This is more, exactly, more or less.
Lego piece count in famous sets.
Okay, all good, good, good.
Okay, which Lego has more set pieces?
NASA Apollo Saturn or the Jurassic Park T-Rex skull.
Oh, both very big ones.
I think they're both coming very big boxes.
I would go to the Saturn though.
It's got more space.
There'd be more stuff to space.
Oh, London.
Correct.
That is correct.
Okay, which Lego set has more pieces.
Disney Castle from.
23 or the Titanic.
Oh, Titanic.
Well done, boys.
Do you know, I own at home, I still haven't made it yet.
The biggest, one of the biggest ones ever, it was sent to me, the Star Wars Millennium
Falcon.
Well, that's the next question, Dan.
Star Wars Millennium Falcon, or the Batman, Gotham City skyline.
Oh, I've never seen the Gotham City skyline, but I'd have, I would hazard a guess,
looking at the box that I've got in my cupboard at home, it's the Millennium Falcon.
Boys, this could be a...
Okay, three.
Five out of five.
Ferrari, Daytona, SP3 or the Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle?
Oh.
How many pieces?
Now, one of them's the...
The Ferrari is the Technics one.
I've seen it.
It's huge.
But you can't...
You surely can't beat Hogwarts.
I know, there's smaller versions of the castle
because I've seen those, so it's really tricky.
You know which one you talk about it.
Is it the big one?
2018.
I think it is the...
Well, I don't know.
I just...
Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle.
It's a full castle versus what?
A car?
Mm.
Yeah.
Should we go the castle?
Clint, guys.
It's been a lot since we've had a win.
Okay, this is it.
The Globe or the Treehouse?
Which Legosite has more pieces.
The Globe or the Treehouse.
I've never heard of either of them.
This is a hard one to finish.
Can you give us any more information about the globe or the trees?
Do you want me to show you a picture maybe?
Okay, maybe, yeah.
Maybe that could work.
Yeah, there's too much on the line here.
Okay, let me see if I can get a photo for you guys.
Okay, here is the Globe.
Okay, if we give this right
We'll give way a double pass
So each must see movie to the first corner
Someone's text through saying Lego does come in paper bags
Well, I just did a Lego last weekend
And it was in plastic bags
So maybe some
Okay, globe
That's the globe
And here is the tree house
I hope that's the right globe
And I'm not pretty guys
You'd think there'd be so many intricate parts to it
That looks like a lot more
Oh
God going on the photo you'd definitely go
the tree house more.
I'd underestimate
the size of that globe though
and how many pieces it might take
to put a world together.
Okay, come on, come we have treehouse.
This is one more time.
One more of the board.
There's the tree house.
And boys, here's the globe.
Which is the final answer?
Which pieces?
Treehouse locking it in.
It's our first win.
And I, dare I say it, I reckon a month.
Okay, if you want to double pass
past the edge of musty movie, we've got a perfect score.
We'll give it away.
You've got a lucky scary movies, though.
Evil Dead Burn
unleashes the franchise.
his most savage and terrifying ride to date.
Says blazing onto big screens
with an all new chapter of carnage
and demonic mayhem.
Another little crazy Lego fact
which I heard a few years ago.
The biggest tire manufacturer in the world.
Did you know that?
Of Lego?
Above Parali, above Michelin, above Dunlop,
all of those.
Lego makes more tyres.
Because they're so tiny.
Yeah, because of all the sets that they make.
Incredible way.
Alice, good morning.
Hello.
Oh, it's dogfots.
Oh, it's dogfoughts, Alice.
Indeed.
How are you guys?
We're bloody good.
How are you doing?
Have new from you in a while.
I'm fantastic.
I'm so excited to go and watch a horror movie.
My husband hates them, so I'll probably take my daughter along.
Oh, my gosh, and she likes them?
Wow.
She loves them.
He loves them.
All her Netflix suggestions are horror movies.
Oh, amazing.
Well, Evil Dead Burnets in Cinema's next Thursday.
We'll get a double pass out to you, Alice.
Thanks for listening.
Amazing.
Thanks, guys.
Yeah, anyone who doesn't know Alice, she was talking about dog fights
and that they were stealing dogs for her fighting rings,
but obviously her accent made it sound like farts.
And it was one of the greatest calls of that year.
She said it's illegal dog farting.
Yeah.
Oh, it made us laugh.
They'd steal the dogs for the dog farts.
Yeah.
God I love her.
Clint Megan Dan.
In Scandal this morning, Blake Lively is asking for $8 million
in attorney's fees and litigation costs from Justin Boldone
after his production company,
sorry, following the dismissal of his defamation suit.
I honestly, it could not care less about that stupid suit.
I've heard so much.
Who cares?
I thought they'd sort of it.
Yeah, same.
I thought they'd like genuinely, Meg.
I thought they'd like sort of it.
You want me to talk about it.
Put it to bed.
Yeah.
So it got dismissed.
So the fact is that he sued her.
And then it was like, no, you can't sue her nothing.
This doesn't stand in court.
So now she's like, well, I had to pay millions of dollars for something that got thrown out.
I'd love to, maybe we can do the maths.
I'd love to know what sort of money that would be for us.
Like when you take into account Blake lively and Ryan Reynolds' network.
I still think a decent amount.
Eight million is a lot of money, but to them I wonder how much eight million is.
Is that like us chasing someone for 400 bucks?
No, no, no, they're not that rich.
I am still chasing me for that, 400 extra.
And Netflix have announced the new reality show called Wonka's Golden Ticket based on Willie Wonka.
Oh, that sounds fun.
A whole new generation of.
Real-life golden ticket holders will compete for a life-changing prize.
Or say a most unfortunate...
Goodbye.
Marvel at the magic you remember and delight in my newest wonders beyond imagination.
Who's playing Wonka?
Well, if you want to see the trailer, you can text Wonka to 3343.
That's one of those...
Mick doesn't know.
That's one of the...
Oh, sorry.
All thanks to HBO Max. Stream now.
I was going to say
Wonka is one of those
franchise, I don't even know if it is a franchise,
but it's been done so many times, hasn't it?
You get to the point where you're like, hmm.
Yeah, is that a reality show is an interesting one.
Yeah, that's kind of cool.
It's an interesting take.
I wanted to say that my son's really going to love it
because we're in the middle of reading Willie Wonka,
but I also don't.
Oh, you're reading it?
Yeah, but I just, you know, Nicholas Tex.
If I say that, it'll really lean into the fact
that all we do is talk about kids,
parenting skills, PlayStation and Lego.
Those are the four pillars of our show.
To be fair, Nicola's not wrong
based on this morning show.
Yeah, we have talked about that, but I'm sure that's what we usually...
Yeah, to be fair, we need to ease up
on the Lego chat, guys.
We are talking about that.
Nauty 640 coming up next.
What, Clint built...
What dirty thing Clint built with some Lego.
Next.
Actually, it's first call on the day, so if you'd like to join us,
I'll wait under the edge.
We all get to Nordic 640.
We're just running a little late Meg.
Oh, we are too, yeah, definitely.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
First call of the day.
First call of the day.
I've already had Shannon and Alice.
And now, Aela from Toonga.
Kura, Aela, how are you doing?
An acoustic engineer.
Hey, how you going?
What's an acoustic engineer?
It sounds like a smart person job.
The guitar?
Let's all guess, and then Ailey can tell us who's closer?
I think you go into workplaces and then you kid out.
the walls and stuff so the acoustic sounds
great for like recording studios and things. That's exactly
what I would have guessed. No, you see guitars.
Because people play guitars in those rooms.
Yeah, I think you specialize. It's similar to that, but you don't do the
cutting out. You're just the person that measures
are the acoustics. Oh, you go in and check it and go, this room's terrible.
Meg, you're going to have to think of something else now.
You went last to your problem. Okay, you
make guitars.
Okay.
Right.
Okay. Well, yeah, Dan and Clint, you guys are spot on.
That's like part of my job, yeah, as a measuring, measuring and then telling people, like, you need to put this up the acoustic treatment.
You're saying, Meg, what an idiot.
She doesn't, when was the last of you made a guitar, Haylor?
I wish it was, I wish it was.
I mean, I agreed with the boys.
I had to come up with something.
She was like, I would have guessed that as well.
I didn't move on.
I think as a kid, I was like, oh, that would be fun.
Yeah.
Out of interest, Ala, what makes a good acoustic room?
A good balance of some absorbative treatment
and then some reflective areas
so you don't want it to be too dead
and then you don't want it to be too much of a bathroom kind of sound
Ayla I would hate for you to be sitting on a deck
with a drinking your hands sitting next to our producer Carl
because he would ask you four million questions
I knew it! I knew it!
Last time Ayla was on the fire
I had like a five-minute conversation with her all about acoustics
I love.
He's an audio file.
Yeah.
Carl's also found a special song for you.
What's this song?
So, oh, she's a singer songwriter.
Oh, this is your song?
Yeah.
Oh, you've loaded some of Aela's actual song.
Yeah, from Spotify.
She's got a song on Spotify.
Oh, shut up.
Okay, listen.
I will grow stronger.
You know the acoustics of the song are brilliant.
Oh, that's nice.
She would have been fussy, eh?
Aila when she's going around.
She's like, no, I'm not recording in here.
She's got a good ear.
Yeah.
It's called it nuance.
Is that right?
Yeah, that's the EP,
and then that single is called Thrills.
Thrills.
Oh, you talented little thing, eh?
Yeah.
Well done.
I beat your parents every time
they're like chatting with someone.
They'll be at the bank and they'll be like,
oh, I was speaking of music.
My daughter actually has a musical spot.
Yeah.
Oh, cute.
Good on, Dad.
Yeah, all good on, yeah.
It's so nice.
My mum used to work at New Zealand Post
and she'd tell everyone that came in that I was on the radio
when I started.
I'd be like, mate, I just want to deposit the $30.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't even know your son.
We don't even listen to the edge.
I just want a credit card, please.
All right, Aela.
If you hold there, we'll sort you out with a double password,
a musty movie.
Thanks for listening to the show.
Thanks, Aela.
Awesome. Thanks having a lot.
Thanks, mate.
Nice name, Aela as well, isn't it?
Lovely.
Sort of over and done within two syllables.
It's cute, it's nice.
Works as a pop star.
Dance work as a pop star.
Yeah, Aola Gold.
Aela gold.
Is that an actual real name?
Actually, it does sound stage namey.
I don't know.
She's hung up.
Thanks.
She has more success and she's become Zala Platinum.
All right, coming home next, Nauty 640.
Meg said she's got something to come clean about that she's became secret for how many weeks?
Only about a week and a half, maybe two at a half.
Oh, God, you're not pregnant again, are you?
No, I'm not pregnant again.
Oh, good, because we can't do another maternity leave.
Meg and Dan.
Meg's been a naughty girl.
supposedly, and she's been a little prankster and keeping a secret from the team.
I thought the prank would last a few minutes and it's gone on for a couple of weeks,
so I have to confess.
Oh, no, what she does?
You know, a prank's only funny if the person you're pranking finds it funny.
Yeah, and Clint can't take a joke, Meg, you know this.
I know, and what I'm worried about is because it's been so long, and I forgot I did it,
and I remember it, and I was like, oh my God, I haven't told him I did that.
It's funny, I remember.
Like when you tell, like, your mate something
and you mean to say just jokes, but you forget,
and then you realise that you never did tell them that you were kidding.
Yeah, I know what the prank is.
Yeah.
And I reckon just take it to your grave.
It's mild, but it's also, I don't know if he's going to love it.
Well, is it actually about me?
Oh, God.
Oh, cool.
Clint, Megan Dan.
It's time to get naughty at 640.
I'm not very good of being naughty, I don't think.
That's not what I've heard.
The guilt eats me.
In different aspects.
I'm not very good at being.
doing pranks
because I have felt guilty.
Okay, where are you the best at being naughty?
So the other week
You're pathetic.
You really are a pathetic little man, are you?
No, maybe it's like...
The other week...
On April Fool's Day?
We have recently...
We have recently started doing something really stupid,
which I don't like, because it makes you feel nervous
every time you leave the room
where if somebody leaves their laptop open, we do something.
It used to happen back in the day,
like 2007 on Facebook.
but now we'll be doing it with each other's emails
and most of the time somebody comes back in
just as you're sending an email to the boss
or writing something and it gets undone
and the prank is over. Yeah because we spent
too long trying to craft the prank that...
Yeah, and I'm a terrible typer
so it takes me ages to type something out.
So Clint left his computer
open a couple of weeks ago
and I
changed something and did something and then I
forgot about it. And I walked in
on it and went cancel and it all
and it said save changes and I went, nah.
No, no, no, no, no.
It was all locked in and done.
I walked away.
Then something happened.
I forgot all about it.
And then I saw on your emails when you sent me something yesterday
that your signature still says,
Clint Randall.
Oh, no.
Announcer, presenter.
Yeah, yeah.
Model.
Brilliant.
Now it's subtle enough that people would go,
oh, that's interesting that he's wrote that.
It's not crazy.
And it's not out of the realms of something
he would say.
So you don't seem too
upset about it, Clint.
Wow.
Which is, well, you're not really a model, mate.
Announce a.
Oh God, he's like, he's keeping, he's gonna keep it.
He's gotta keep it.
It is a bit gross, but still, I mean,
oh my God, honestly.
You did one, like, shoot for Remix magazine two years ago.
And you said I looked phenomenal in that.
You did look phenomenal, yeah, you should be a model, really.
We went to that shoot, didn't we?
It's the only time I wore a $40,000 watch.
And then they had a lady there
who watched me the whole time
with a pair of gloves on
like I was going to do a runner.
I saw that,
I remember that.
Maybe Clint did realize
that I changed his signature as I'll just leave it.
So for two weeks
we'll be thinking
you're signing every email.
Clint Randall,
announcer, presenter, model.
That's so embarrassing.
You know what I should have done?
I should go back in and change it,
put it in quotes,
and then put dash Meg Mansel.
Like she said it about me
because technically that's true.
Oh, God, I don't know what's more awkward,
to be honest.
I thought it'd be embarrassed.
about it, but you honestly don't mind.
He's even considering keeping it.
Guys, there are worse things going on in the world than people thinking I'm a model.
This is backfied me.
Oh, God.
He's Teflod.
He wouldn't be having the same conversation if you'd done this to me.
Put it that way.
Wow.
I'll get around to change in it.
I don't think he knows.
Harry Stiles on the edge, Clint Megan Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
Meg and I were just talking on the way into work this morning.
It seems that her husband...
Did you sleep over again, Meg?
Yeah, yeah, of course, yeah.
Her husband may have overestimated the popularity of people wanting t-shirts.
And tote bags.
And tote bags with Hook the musical printed on them.
Obviously, we had our musical on Monday night.
And this was Carl actually catching up with Guy on the night regarding the teas.
Guy, I'm just looking at the merch table here.
The actual merch, like the tote bags.
Look great. There was t-shirts as well, were there?
Yeah, t-shirts.
They are flying off the rack.
But there's some other stuff here as well that I'm seeing that wasn't really on the merch.
You don't know who's going to come to these events.
You know, if somebody wants to pick up a McKita 40-volt brushless,
rotary hammer drill, valued at 800.
I'm selling it for 500.
So that's a brand new.
And also an outdoor cinema bundle.
Yeah, so you can buy that for 100.
And is this stuff from your home?
Like, is this from your shed?
Yeah, stuff that Meg, they wanted me to put it on Facebook marketplace,
and I keep forgetting.
So I thought I'd bring it.
Yeah, so I'm...
I found that out when I was, we were waiting to do our podcast first, the opener,
and I heard somebody go, guys selling like an outdoor cinema.
And I said, what was that?
Say, what did you just say?
And, yeah, sure enough, he had a whole garage sale with things.
Yeah, it was selling like crockery and stuff, wasn't he?
Like plates and cut.
No, no takers on the drill?
Yeah.
No, no, no takers on the drill.
Apparently there was one guy that was kind of interested, but then he walked away.
I think that was producer, car.
Oh, bugger.
Yeah, yeah.
I was keen for the drill, but I'll give you a 60 for the outdoor cinema thing.
now. I'll take that.
Well, he's desperate now. Apparently it didn't sell.
Okay.
Nine T-shirts left as well, by the way.
You can have the outdoor cinema for six there, but you also have to buy the
19-10 shirts.
You'd buy the nine T-shirts and all the tote bags.
I actually bought three tote bags.
Wow.
Three? Who needs three tote bags?
Oh, yeah, I got some for the daycare teachers.
What about the power drill? Because it was 500 bucks.
He must be a bit more desperate now.
Is there anyone that's willing to give a highest offer on 33-4-3?
Yeah.
It's whatever you described it.
What is it, a Makita?
McKita.
Yeah, see, if you were in their, what is it, ecosystem,
because they all have their own ecosystems, don't they?
The batteries.
Somebody's sex and saying,
I sent Guy on Instagram message about the T-shirts,
he didn't reply.
Guy, I'm going to say, don't worry,
he's an terrible marker.
He's been a nightmare.
He's so busy, though, with...
Oh, you're saying that stay-at-home parents, I'm busy?
Well, once, you know, your daughter gets to Kendi,
then he'd probably...
When my wife was on Matt leave,
he did say, how's your holiday going to her?
That went down really well, was that?
Yeah, yeah.
No, he's doing the real work at all.
He doesn't even have time to message people back about T-shirts.
He's just been working on his tan, as he?
Yeah, so you may find we've got a few giveaways of T-shirts.
We've got to do it sooner rather than later because it'll hit different, I think,
when we're giving those away in November.
And obviously, if you're in the market for a power drill, get in touch.
Yeah, cool.
All right, take the edge off my life.
If you need some cash for something, let us know what it is by texting Edge to 33-4.3.
We could call you back next.
We'll do it in 90 seconds.
So answer that unknown number because it could be us.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Let's go.
Here we go.
If we call you to reward you with cash because you ask for it,
just make sure you answer will take the edge off my life.
Otherwise, it'll go back into the prize pool and somebody else will win it.
All right, I've got the number locked in now.
Okay, they need to answer to take the edge off my life.
Duck it in seven, have me recently.
Take the edge off my life.
Yeah, it's how you doing, Carmen?
Well, how are you?
Good morning.
What do you need money for this morning?
My little boy, well, he's not little, he's 10.
He's got a scout jamboree at the end of the year.
That is attending.
They still do that.
That's so cool.
How are the expensive.
I know every three years.
But, oh my gosh, when I saw the price of it, I just about died.
Oh, my goodness.
250 bucks to go towards that.
My brother did scouts jamboree,
and that would have been back in the 90s.
It's cool to hear they're still doing it.
Yeah. What is it?
Yeah.
What is the Scouts, Jambo?
All the Scouts, actually from around the world,
every three years, come to either,
I think they've gone in Australia or New Zealand.
There's actually one in Portugal coming up in 2028.
Oh, that's not bad if they only want 250.
Oh, yeah, right.
That's about 20K.
And yeah, and they like just do activities.
it's 10 days, camping, all these activities.
And yeah.
And they're just all jamboree together.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A bit of a jamboree.
Yeah.
A little bit of a jamboree.
Can an adult enjoy?
Oh, well, maybe.
I know.
I don't know.
Do you want to be with like thousands of kids?
Probably not actually.
Sounds like a nightmare.
Dad, go send any kid that's not his.
It wouldn't be your thing.
All right.
Come, and $250.
So you can send a son, Austin, to the 2026, Jamboree,
and just take that off.
your shoulders and forget about it. All covered.
You guys are amazing.
Thank you so, so much. I appreciate that.
You know, that does sound like a nightmare. I'll just jamboree by myself.
Yeah, whatever that means.
All right, back again at 8 o'clock and take the edge off my life.
Glad if you haven't registered Dick's Edge to 334.3.
Okay. Next on the show, God.
When I saw the headline, I had to dig a little deeper because I was like, that cannot be true.
A woman would not have done that when she found out her partner cheated on her.
Oh, yeah, no, this is one of the more psycho things, I must say.
I don't think the punishment fits the crime.
It's the edge.
Clint Megan Dan.
We go again.
It'll be the biggest moment of the year.
This Friday, if you get on air with Clint Meg and Dan,
your win.
Every caller wins.
GTA 6 is coming.
Only on the edge.
Yeah, so if you get through, every caller wins.
Carly will be stressed.
only our producer. He gets stressed on those days.
Sometimes he gets an extra phone op.
You know, the first time
he lost all his hair was every caller wins.
Oh, really? Is it a useful?
What happened? Yeah, yeah, every call.
Yeah, and then they were just sort of fell out of stress.
All the follicles went.
Oh, this story could actually
likely come out of GTA.
It sounds like it's not real.
And I feel like there are some people starting
to talk about on the internet whether it could be or not.
But apparently a Texas woman
has been arrested after investigating
is say she allegedly glued her husband's butt cheeks together
with guerrilla glue while he slept
after discovering he'd been unfaithful.
She also slipped him some laxatives.
Oh, and do a little bevy before he went to sleep.
He must have been in a very deep sleep
because I don't know if my wife could ever slip between my butt cheeks
and put some glue there and me not wake up.
I think I could do that to my husband.
If you've got a deep sleeper and you've got one of those cork guns
and you just kind of just squeeze it.
Yeah, well, I don't do that.
but yeah, I think you could.
My goodness.
Yeah, she's 42 years old.
Tanya Washington found messages on her husband's phone
that led her to believe he was having an affair,
and then she applied the industrial adhesive.
Industrial as well, that's going to be strong, isn't it?
I mean, gorilla in the name, like gorilla glue.
It does make it seem like it'd be very hard to take off.
Imagine the poor doctor.
The actual punishment there is not for him.
Obviously, it's horrible that he's having to have laxatives,
and then there's a butt cheeks are glued together.
But the real punishment is the,
poor doctor that's having to pull them apart with the
laxatives already taking
effect, you know what I mean? It'd end up being a nurse's job probably, that
delegator, poor nurse. When I was looking into
the story, it looks like
there's even a guy, there's somebody who tried to
do this to himself to see what would happen.
So that's like,
the most male, well, yeah,
who guess if it was a guy or a girl,
somebody put superglow in their bum
and then took laxatives as an experiment.
It's very jack-ar's like, isn't it? Yeah.
You don't see a group of
girls doing jackass films.
I wouldn't be willing to help them
if I was at a hospital and they turned up.
If they'd done that to themselves,
I'd go...
That's why you're not a nurse or a doctor
because you don't get to choose.
You're on your own. Get out of my hospital, I'd say?
You don't get to choose, unfortunately.
Do you want to take some calls for dobb in a psycho?
Yeah, maybe. Could you dobbin yourself?
Yeah, it doesn't necessarily need to be
off the back of cheating.
But just maybe you dated someone who's a real psycho,
you worked with someone who's a real psycho.
Oh my God, check this.
One time at work, an ex-employee did what?
You could dobbin yourself.
Like if your husband cheated on you and you burnt all their clothes or something,
you look back and you look back and like, that is a psycho thing to have done.
Also, Rod says you'd never get a full seal, I don't reckon.
Rod's thought about it.
Yeah, he's like, I don't know.
I feel like I could have.
You're probably right though, Rod, actually.
It's not going to be airtight, definitely.
Yeah, I guess the point is that it just goes everywhere and, yeah,
I don't know if the punishment fits the crime.
I mean, being cheated on is terrible, but supergluing or gorilla gluing someone's cheeks together with laxative.
It does seem inconvenient.
You're definitely taking a day off.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, Dobby and the Psycho, who's that person that used to be in your life?
You're like, oh my God.
Tanya?
Let me tell you about her.
Yikes.
Yeah, I'm not turning up to work if I say Hannah super glued my butt together, guys.
Sorry.
Sorry to Tanya, so I just picked a random name.
Yeah.
Tah, kind of fits.
It's the edge.
A story you'd think would be straight out of a GTA 6.
Hit game, by the way, every call it wins.
You get on here Friday, and you'll be getting your sweet little hands on it.
Hell yeah.
The internet's sort of divided on how true it must be,
because it just seems too crazy to be true that a woman would glue,
gorilla glue her partner's butt cheeks together,
right after she had secretly given him laxatives
after finding out he was being unfaithful.
Is that the order?
She did the superglowing, then the laxatives,
or laxatives first, then super glue it?
I'd imagine you'd do the laxative first.
They go to sleep, then you glue them up.
Right.
Okay.
Wouldn't you?
I'd go like a second if we're logistically talking about.
No, but surely you wake up and your cheeks are glued together
and then you go, by the way, drink this?
True, true.
Right, no, you are right, Clinton.
All right, we've got a few texts and a few calls coming in.
Some that want to be on the voice disguiser.
Let's go to Rebecca on the voice disguiser.
Morning.
Fake name, isn't it?
Yes.
Good morning.
Okay, you are in disguise.
We're talking about Dob and a psycho.
You sound sinister.
Who's the cycle?
Yeah, yeah, it is me.
Oh.
What did you do?
I am Rosico.
I found out my ex was cheating on me, so I slept with his best friend and his dad.
That'll do it.
His best friend's dad or his dad?
No, both.
Both of them?
Both.
So wait, so.
In the same time?
The best friend's also in on this, really, aren't they?
And the dad.
Yeah, true.
Wait, did the dad know that you had been dating his son?
Yeah, yeah, we were dating for a while.
Oh my God, I'm more angry at them than I am.
You?
How do you, I mean, it's so easy, isn't it for you girls?
Like, we couldn't do that.
We'd be like, right, she'd cheat on me.
I'm going to sleep with her mum.
And mum's like, piss off.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, well, I mean, the relationship was already strained, so I was like, oh, you're going to call me a stepmom and then.
Right.
Out of interest, who was better in bed, the dad or the son?
The dad.
And how old are the hard?
It's the best mate as well, right?
So who came first?
The best maid or the dad?
Am I not to say that on the radio?
You know, she doesn't know.
She means which one did you sleep with first?
That's Megan.
I knew what you meant.
It was poor, poor choice of words.
No, it wasn't.
I never thought that that's what I was asking.
Rebecca.
Which one did you sleep with first?
It was the dad.
Sleep with the dad.
And how hard did you have to try?
Like, did you have to seduce the dad like three or four times?
And on the fifth time he finally caved?
No, no, no.
It was just the eyes.
The eyes of the barbecue.
The eyes, all you had to do
for the dad to sleep with you
is give him the eyes.
I'm not...
Wow, wow, wow.
There must have been feelings there before.
You don't just give someone the eyes
and it happens straight away.
I can't anyway.
I'm with Sacey Caps.
How does this even happen?
Anyway, he found out and he would have been livid, I suppose.
Yeah, well, I sent it to him like six months later.
Sent it to him?
Send him to him, text or send him picks?
Yeah.
Send him back.
Rebecca!
My goodness me, you are.
I mean, that would have been sweet revenge.
Wait, do you look back now, Rebecca, and go, who was that girl?
Are you like, no, no, that's me?
That's what I do.
Oh, I don't even know what 20-year-old Becky was thinking to be fair.
Right, okay, so it was a long time ago.
You know, it popped off.
Oh, and dad's with his son's 20-year-old ex.
Honestly, I'm more mad at him.
Yeah.
Did the relationship end up going on with either of them?
either of them or is it just a one and no no no no no absolutely and i wonder if him and his uh best
mate it's all best mates and oh man yeah yeah not my problem now in the no not your problem
not your problem it feels like any story we take after this will pale in comparison to i know i also
cannot believe she thought i asked her that question which is so outrageous we should have gone to her last
to be honest i think we just we just end there we just there's nothing we can i'm going to think about
that for a long time
Yeah.
I mean, man, honestly, in the moment, though, would have felt good for her.
We'll waste them one, I guess.
But in terms of revenge, Dad's gross.
Incredible.
Can we all admit Dad's gross?
Dad's gross.
Dad's gross.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
Times must be getting tough.
A few stories of chuck on your radar for Wednesday, 1st of July.
There's a mask burglar that police are looking for.
In Napier, who broke into a cake store and stole over thousands of dollars worth of sweets.
What would you do with a lot of cake?
Yeah, there's a very limited amount of time to move the stock.
Yeah, right.
So you've got, I'd say, a window of about three days
before it starts getting dry.
Cake goes dry quickly.
It does.
You can freeze it, though.
You can freeze good cake and just wrap it up
and then you can just, if you freeze it in little slice
that you can defrost a nice couple of pieces with a cup of tea.
And you're selling it on trade meat?
Like, what are you doing with the cake?
The frozen cake even then.
Put it in the tea freeze.
So he's wearing almost like a full...
What are those suits that everyone used to wear during COVID?
like a P-B.
A hazmat.
Yeah, like that
with the mask
and all the rest
and all the rest of
trying to avoid
the cameras in store
while he's taking
between one and $2,000
worth of sweets.
And he doesn't want to get germs
on the cake,
obviously.
He's wanted to resell that stuff.
Potentially, yeah.
Speaking of stupid people,
Donald Trump,
he has launched
some brand new passports
over in America,
which include his face
on the inside
of the passport.
So if you're an American citizen,
you can get a brand new passport.
Right.
But there's an issue
with what he's
put on the inside. This lady explains.
Donald Dump posted the USA's new passport,
which says, welcome, but be good, President DJT.
For those that don't know how passports work,
you need one to leave the country.
He's so stupid, you guys.
How is this real life?
So essentially, these get issued to people
that are already American citizens.
So say, for instance, you're American Meg,
you apply for a new passport because your last one expired.
You get one of these new ones.
It's got a photo on the inside of Donald Trump with Don Trump
pointing at you going, welcome, but be good.
But you already live here.
You already live here.
And you're going to use your passport to go to other countries.
So he would argue he could argue he's welcoming people into America.
But if you're coming into America, then you obviously don't.
You aren't American, so you don't have an American passport.
You have a passport from your country.
I think he's thinking it maybe is the visas.
He's got them mistaken.
So bizarre.
That's where his priorities are with everything that's happening.
He wouldn't care, Teflon.
No, he doesn't care at all.
And some good news as well.
I've just in an article, you can text the word S-O-N-Sund, 3-3-4-3.
A man called Daniel Allen bought a 1969 Mustang.
Nice.
Yeah?
It was his favourite car.
He bought it after returning from the Vietnam Warms, and then he had a son,
and then he had another son, then he had another son and another son.
He had six sons.
And as the family grew, he realised he had to sell his dream car.
Getting rid of the Mustang.
I know where it feels I had to sell my Evo 5 when I got married to pay for the wedding.
But apparently has spoken about that car like every day to his sons as grown up.
And yes, you can see where it's going.
The boys brought back the car.
The same one?
The same car.
So if you want to see his reaction, you can text the word S-O-N to 3343.
It's just happened.
Does he cry?
Because old people cry and he checks me.
He doesn't believe it for a long time.
He's at a car show and he's walking along.
he sees that and the audio isn't great this way I haven't got it for you
it's kind of um it's more a visual
video and he sees and he's talking about oh where are the keys
and then he does get handed the keys and then he gets very
overwhelmed because he doesn't actually he goes what are you saying what do you mean
what do you mean he doesn't really know what's happening until
the boys confirmed that it is um now his car again
bless him does that mean maybe my wife might buy me an Evo 5 one day
or one of your kids probably has to
no I sold it for her because she wanted the dream wedding right yeah so
I mean, an Ivo
Hard to find now.
They gave it to him for Father's Day, which is nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, he said, I shot off the camera, but I wish I continue filming.
So it's one of those things is actually quite nice
that they didn't do it to be like,
let's go viral on the internet.
If that makes sense, you know, there's a...
It's a cool moment we want to watch with our real eyes
rather than through a camera.
Exactly, not great audio, not the greatest cut,
but at least you know what happened.
I kind of hope your wife gets you the Evo
because, God, you'd look desperate driving around
around one of them now in your 40s.
Oh, God, imagine that.
It is a definition of.
of a midlife crisis.
He had to have his arm out the window,
dead fishing thinking he looks cool.
Blow off valve.
Clint Meg and Dan.
Let's go.
We go again.
It'll be the biggest moment of the year.
This Friday, if you get on air with Clint Meg and Dan,
you'll win.
Every caller wins.
GTA 6 is coming.
Only on the edge.
It's already had $4 billion worth of pre-sales,
a record for any game ever.
And let's not forget, Meg,
the gaming industry.
is bigger than the music and movie industry put together.
Absolutely true.
Crazy a.
Absolutely.
So I've done a little game for you boys.
I think if you know GTA pretty well,
this will be really easy for you,
but there might be some, you know, that I don't know so well.
Is it a GTA headline or a real headline that I found from news?
Love this.
MPC or real person?
Yeah, absolutely.
Let's start off with which headline is real?
A.
Florida man arrested after attempting to rob a store with a live alligator.
or B, Mansu's fast food chain after burger made him too patriotic.
I think the alligator rings a bell for GTA.
Wait, wait.
Is that the real?
Are we guessing the real one?
Or is that what happened in the game?
Rob's the bank with an alligator.
Florida, they do the craziest stuff.
We did say Florida Man.
Remember those that Florida Man challenge?
Yeah, it's a different city in the game.
So let's go.
Florida maybe is real.
Okay, that's...
Yes, a man in Florida did a try and rob a bag.
with a live alligator.
I feel like that's just as menacing to him as it is to the person behind acting,
actually more so because he's holding it.
What a nightmare.
Okay.
How do you carry the cash when you're holding the alligator?
Has you not heard of a gun?
That's so crazy.
So city launches initiative encouraging residents to report suspicious pigeons.
Is that real?
Or from GTA?
Or scientists warn energy drinks that may be making people too productive.
Which one's real?
This is harder than I thought it would be.
I don't recall any of these from GTA, either of these two.
I feel like an idiot if I say the pigeon one's real.
It seems like the weirdest one though.
Would she make that up?
Should we go pigeon real?
Okay.
Come on, Clint.
Yeah, that's a real good line.
What did they do again?
City launched an initiative and garage residents to report suspicious pigeons.
That is true.
I've always thought they're suspicious.
Okay.
Um, train apologized.
Sorry, train system apologises for departing 20 seconds early,
or public transport apologises after train arrives exactly on time.
One of them's real, one of them's fake.
I reckon it's the exactly on time is real.
It's something that would happen, I'd imagine.
Train apologises for just parting 20 seconds early,
or public transport apologises after train arrives on time.
Yeah, dances on time.
So that's real?
Yeah.
Incorrect.
Oh, bugger.
No, no.
The real one was the Japanese train system in Japan.
Apologised for departing 20 seconds early.
Oh, yeah.
If I said in Japan, you guys would have got it.
Yeah, work over there.
Okay, number four, billionaire launches campaign
to replace public libraries with luxury parking.
Is that real from GTA?
Or billionaire offers women $100,000 to have his baby
in order to create the next generation of genius?
Which one's real?
Which one really happened?
The car park?
The car park, I think, is real.
Okay.
Incorrect, that was from GTA.
There was a real man.
I believe in Russia, who offered a woman to create a genius with him.
Okay, we can see a hundred grand.
One more question.
But then also, wouldn't you then, if you now have his baby, aren't you,
are pre-nups.
He's going to say you'd be entitled to it half as well.
Final one, which one is real.
Police recover stolen excavator after thief used it to buy beer at a drive-through.
Or police warn residents not to attempt to attempt.
bank robberies during lunch breaks due to
increased traffic.
I think if someone's taken a digger through a drive-thor.
That's worth there, yeah.
So that's real?
I think so. I think so.
Oh, God, we passed.
Yeah, yeah.
There was, indeed, a recovered excavator
after somebody tried to use it to buy beer.
God, you did a lot of research there,
to get those questions.
And that digger thing, I apologise for that.
I don't think you should have brought it up, okay?
He doesn't say Carl, but yeah, no.
He does love a digger.
Careful, producer.
Because when we see her stories like that,
we'd end up getting a producer to try it.
Remember we strapped Chang to the front of a car
and took him through a car wash?
That's scary.
Bitter it, let's do it again.
That car wash isn't there anymore because of that.
I think they closed down.
Yeah, we've gotten trouble for that one.
We'll be doing that again.
So remember this Friday, every call the wins.
Grand Theft Auto 6.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Has the adrenaline worn off from Monday night,
hook the musical?
Yes.
You know what?
I keep waking up at night going,
oh God, we've got that show to do.
And then I go,
now it's done
it's done
it's done
forever in the bin
spend about
or just over a month
going through
ways to try and turn
Dan's hook
the musical they wrote
at the age of 15
to reality
and to perform on stage
yeah
I'm trading the video release
which is out on Friday
by the way
I wouldn't even watch it
It has spurred me on
to think that
maybe I could write
something even bigger
you know
I was thinking
I think Hook might be
a one and done
but there could be
a new play
the three of us
right
I'm like New Zealand's
version of
Lin-Manuel Miranda.
You know the guy that wrote...
The guy that wrote Hamilton and stuff.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, he wrote that.
You can do a Christmas version.
Well, I was quite surprised that Dan is religious when it comes to theatre,
and there is a god that he prays to before he goes out on stage.
Now, Dan, maybe you're right.
The theatre god thought I was being a bit hypocritical when I joined it on the prayer.
Yeah, haven't never done theatre.
Theatre kids would know this prayer if you've ever been in a, like, musical theatre show,
or even just a theatre show.
Usually you do this before you go on stage
and all the actors or the cast or the crew
gather around it in a circle and do this.
Look, I've been in a few musicals and productions
in my time. I've never done this before clip.
Not professional stuff obviously.
I only ask for two things
and the theatre god did not grant either of my wishes.
This is a prayer
for our fellow actors.
Amen. Amen.
This is a prayer for our stage.
Amen.
This is a prayer for the music.
Amen.
And this is a prayer to remember our lines.
Amen.
And this is a prayer to be funny.
Amen.
It's a good prayer to do, Clint.
This is a prayer for no wardrobe malfunction.
We don't want to me.
We don't want to me to slip a tit, do we?
And this is a prayer that hook wouldn't spit on us as much as he has been in rehearsal.
I can't promise that.
So it was just before we went out backstage and walked on stage for the very first time.
It was minutes before in the green room.
Yeah.
So some of those things, um...
They all came true.
Yeah, they were good for me, I think.
Yeah, for me, I was fine as well.
Peter Pan has a smaller sword than hook historically.
Not a euphemism.
No, and so I had like a rather small wooden sword
that we were using a lot in practice
and we have a sword fight hook and I.
And I guess it must have weakened it.
And during a scene when I wasn't having a sword fight
and I was just waving it around for effect,
it decided to break in half and land at the feet
of a little girl who was,
sitting in the audience. That's what they call a prop
failure in the industry and you don't want that
as an actor. He chose the life of a pirate
but I
chose the right path. I, Peter Pan, can fly
stood there like an idiot with my
literally just holding a handle. There's no worse feeling as well
because you feel naked on stage when something like that happens because you've got a
plan to use that prop and then it's gone right?
Yeah, the moment you can hear it hit the ground.
Yeah, and then...
This is all those people laughing at your misfortune
And then all I had as a backup was an even smaller grey plastic sword that I'd use for the fight scene.
It was pathetic.
It was very look sharp pathetic, I think.
Yeah, right.
It was plastic or no, yeah, flimsy.
Yeah, it wasn't good.
Oh, somebody texts and saying, I thought the sword break was intentional.
There you go.
No, no, I just built it into the script.
Absolutely.
That's how professional Clint is that he managed to just push on.
That's, I guess, experience of...
Many mistakes on dancing with the stars.
And on air.
Yeah, on air.
Constantly on ear.
Yeah, when you fall, always turn it into a role.
Yeah, that's why he came third and eighth and all the things he's entered.
Yeah.
It is the worst being embarrassed in front of a live audience.
Whether you're doing like a speech that hasn't gone well or you're emceeing something.
It's just, honest to God, the worst thing.
You embarrass yourself in front of thousands.
I remember I used to work at a bank and we're having this presentation from the new regional manager.
She was like new to the job and she was in charge of the whole of like East Auckland.
Yeah.
And I remember she came to do this presentation about the changes she was implementing.
And she must have been so nervous because she got up and vomited everywhere in front of everyone.
And she never lived it down.
And I think poor woman had to leave after like three months because she just was like so embarrassed by it.
She threw up.
Yeah, she was like, I'm so nervous.
I'm so nervous, guys.
But thank you so much for having me.
I remember saying it and then just chunded it all over the desk.
I reckon she was actually sick and she thought those whirly tummy feelings were probably nervous.
Maybe mistook it.
Again, I'm really nervous.
Yeah.
Okay, I wait a hundred edge, how are you embarrassed in front of an audience?
Whether it's a speech or an emcee or maybe it was theatre.
Yeah, maybe you just tripped up in front of everybody, you know, it could be anything.
And you still don't live it down to this day.
Oh, 800, the age or he texts us 3343.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
We had a bit of a prop malfunction on stage with Hook the Musical
when my sword just decided to snap in half mid-performance.
Yeah, everyone thought it was hilarious, fun for them.
soldiered on. We'd love to know the
mishap or the embarrassing moment you did in front
of a live audience. I do remember
someone else's embarrassing mishap, Meg,
when we were at a work
thing in front of a whole lot of people
and somebody said, these three
need no introduction,
but I'll do it anyway. Please
welcome to the stage. Clint, Meg and
Randall. Oh, that's right.
Oh God, that was so funny.
That was really bad. Then Meg's name. Then my last name.
And I was like, well, obviously, we do need an introduction
because you don't even know
dance-tress name.
And the funny thing was
that person worked for this company.
Yeah, and didn't pick it up.
Like didn't go, oh,
whoops, what have I done there?
Maybe their brain autopilited
and they just didn't even realize
the mistake that made.
Clint McEnnell.
So she thought my name was Randall.
I think you were Clint
and he was known as Randall to her.
Okay.
Anyway, I do like,
I thought he had a bit of ring to it,
getting mentioned twice.
This is an incredible story.
I was Pinocchio in a youth show,
already embarrassing.
During a huge dance number,
I slept through backwards onto my ass.
My safety pin snapped, and I had to finish the choreography completely pantless.
You wouldn't.
Nightmare.
Show must go on.
What a show here, eh?
I would never.
There's no way that I would be like, cool, all good, just pantless.
I feel like that's something that would happen to you, though, Meg.
Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't be.
My pants were pretty big with Sme.
I was worried about that.
Another one, I co-hosted an award ceremony in drag.
As I walked on stage for the first time that evening,
I wasn't used to it
and I stood on the front of the gown
Yeah, I think we're about to get Jamie
Oh no, they're not picking up.
Jamie!
Stood on the front of the ground
I tore the binding in the back
and I had to hold it against me
for the whole of the opening speeches.
This one's minor that's come through on a text
but also this is one of those things
that just repeats in your brain forever.
I wave back at someone in a back stadium
for about 30 seconds before realizing
they were waving at the person behind me.
There's nothing worse, hey?
When you wave at someone
thinking they're waving at,
and there's the person's behind you.
It's really hard to tell when somebody,
who they're looking at when it comes to a crowd like that too.
And then when they see you and they're like,
I'm actually, no, it's so sorry, it's the person behind you.
Oh, God.
No, thank you.
Worst nightmare stuff.
No, thank you.
Oh, see, if I can find the, uh, probably going to take so long,
but it says during a serious production of Dracula,
a tech glitch caused cool in the gangs celebrate to blare out.
You know that celebrate good times?
Oh, yeah.
During a dramatic murder scene.
The director just yelled, I'll turn off the takes.
They could actually add to it.
That would be like, you know, for Dracula,
maybe they would celebrate that.
All right, take the edge off my life.
If you have requested cash for something to make your life a little easier,
we could be calling you with the good news.
That we have it for you.
You just have to answer.
We'll take the edge off my life like Carmen did this morning,
at 7 o'clock, and is $250 richer this morning.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
This isn't, I guess, an expense as such that's come out of nowhere,
which can stress a lot of people out.
And they go, can you take care of that for me?
I did not have the money.
Put aside for that.
This is more of a splurge, I suppose,
but on behalf of somebody else, which is always nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a really, really lovely message.
And I think the person that they're doing it for would love to hear what they think about them.
It's real daughter goals.
Yeah, absolutely.
Selfless.
Take the edge off my life.
Oh, you're sitting right near the phone.
Congratulations.
Trinidad.
I am.
It would have been savage if you didn't answer.
Triniti, I'm going to read out what you wrote because I think it's so lovely.
You said my dad is genuinely the best person I know and in my eyes the best person to walk this earth.
Wow.
I'd love to be able to give him an experience he will never forget as a way of saying thank you for all he's son for his family.
So I don't want to say what the experience is.
Do you think he might be listening?
Yeah, he probably will be.
But I've been a while I've had it in my head.
I've told him, do not listen to the edge.
Oh, okay.
Okay, well, let's hope that he's not.
We don't want to give a way.
We don't like to make a habit of that.
This is a experience that I would love to do, to be honest, Trinity.
Yeah.
Yeah, as soon as I saw it, I was like, oh, I'm immediately saving for that.
So I've been saving for a while.
Can you say why you think your dad is genuinely the best person towards the earth?
He puts everyone first.
He, like, always does stuff for everybody, and he's, like, the last person that he thinks of, like himself.
So I think that he deserves something where it's a trip that he loves
and he's doing everything, you know, that he wants to do
and putting himself first in that position.
That's so lovely.
Right, for a daughter to think about that.
Yeah, he's my best friend.
I think this is dad goals, eh?
If my daughter said that I was her best friend and she was an adult?
Yeah.
Oh, that's got to be the greatest.
You know, like there is nothing that beats that, I don't think, in life.
Then your daughter still.
What about it if your son said it?
I don't think any child.
I don't know a daughter, but I feel like I don't know why it would be less likely.
I don't know why I think that, but for a daughter at 23 to have her best friend.
Typically you'll hear people say, my mum's my best friend.
But your dad, yeah.
But your daughter's saying that about her dad?
That's unbelievable.
You've obviously clocked being a dad if that's the case, eh?
Right.
Yeah, good on him.
So we're not saying what you're actually doing, so we don't ruin the surprise?
It's a birthday surprise.
What do you guys?
And dad's still listening if he's.
listening because he wants to hear all the nice things that Trinity's saying about it.
All right, let's say, Dad, switch off right now.
I believe him, this is a good person.
Because Dan's been practicing something behind the scene.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah, Dan's been practicing last three minutes.
Trinity.
Now he doesn't get to show off you.
Surprise.
Okay, Trinity's dad, you've had your warning to stop ruining your surprise.
You stop listening to the edge right now, please.
Go on, dad.
He wants to do a V8 supercar experience.
Yeah, so.
In a V8.
Yeah, go on.
I do a V8.
He could just come on now.
It'll be free.
I can give them a V8 experience.
Go on.
You've punished us for ages.
Behind the scenes.
Okay, this is my impression of a V8.
It's going to sound so lame now you've built it up.
Brin, brim, brin, brin, brin.
What do you think, Trinity?
That sounds beautiful.
300.
Well, I'm taking that 300 off here now.
300 bucks.
All yours, Trinity.
Thank you so much.
Also, most of the time, Dan, I have the sound effects.
That was pretty close.
In the system, so you don't need to.
But, you know, if you want it, it's cool.
I can do a rotary as well.
That also doubles as other stuff.
I can't say that at A.A.m. though.
Disgusting.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Yeah, a study out of the University of Boston has said
that the person who pays the bills in a relationship,
and it's not the money earner.
This is the interesting thing here.
It's just the person who actively goes online and pays the bill.
It doesn't matter whose money it is.
Is the leader of that relationship and is the alpha.
Right.
Okay.
So you're taking care of the admin and making sure the lights down by just getting it paid.
Regardless of where that money comes from and who earns more.
Yeah, that's a hard one for my relationship.
My husband pays the mortgage, but I pay all the other bills.
So I do the gas.
But would you say that the mortgage comes out automatically?
I think this means like they're going online.
They're doing things.
They set up the automatic payments.
They do the active, like if payments change,
they're the ones that sorted out.
Yeah, right.
They're in charge of the relationship, the main stuff.
Yeah, that would be me.
Oh, yeah, well, that's not a surprise.
Yeah, that would be, I would be,
what is that supposed to mean?
Well, I would have thought you're the alpha.
Really?
Yeah.
Can I throw a curveball in there?
Yeah.
Because my wife is the same.
She does everything.
Yeah.
But that's because I have allowed her to do it.
I've said, I've gone.
I don't think you'll find.
physically capable of doing that.
Exactly.
No, I've gone, that's not my wheelhouse.
Numbers aren't my thing.
I will muck it up.
I shirk that responsibility across to you.
No, no, no.
I shirk that responsibility.
That she is very, very deeply the alpha in your relationship.
That sound probably proves it.
Not the sound of an alpha.
Oh, look, and children if we might hear the alpha wolf say something.
Howling at the moon, there's dad.
Yeah
You know what
And I like being
Not the Alpha
I like being the
Oh yeah
I like the alternative
The cuck
I don't know
What's the
Being looked after
Yeah
Yeah
And you know what
She is good at it
So why
You know
It's like having
David Beckham
On the bench
You wouldn't do it
Would you?
What about you
and Jamie?
Yeah I take care of all
though
Like no one's
getting paid
If I'm not
taking care of it
And in fact
If something is
overdue
It's because
They have my wife's
Email address
And they've
Sent her multiple
Reminders
And then my wife
has just forwarded
that email to me. And then I will take care of it. I don't think that's, I think the study's
wrong because I believe the person that's the alpha in the relationship is the person that
drives the car when you go on a trip together. That's not bad actually. Long distance trips
especially. If you're driving on a long distance trip, I think you're definitely the alpha.
Yeah, Hannah's a passenger princess. You may be paying the bills, but she's sitting in that
passenger seat. Well, I'm taking both. I'm driving, paying the bills. So I'm two for two.
That's always too much alpha. Too much alpha to handle. Maybe one of them cancels the other
out so now you're back as the beta.
Yeah, okay, what is the
one rule in your relationship that really determines
who's the alpha? Maybe it isn't who pays the bills
in your relationship. It's something else.
Maybe you just wear the pants.
Yeah, but I think there has to be a measure.
So you, like you said, if you're the person that
drives the vehicle on a long distance trip,
and that's what makes you the alpha in your
relationship, fine. But what is that one thing
where you go, no. Someone's checks through saying that they
do the housework. Yeah. That's fair.
The person that maybe picks up the remote
control if you're watching TV. Oh, that's a
one, the one that's in control of it.
Although the remote control's less of a thing now.
I know. It used to be with free-to-view television.
Nicole's one's not bad. She said it's who the kids say the bosses.
That's good.
It's who they ask when they want to snack first.
You're the beta because they'll ask you first because you'll be like, yeah, sure.
And then the other, the alpha will go, no, they're not having that.
And then you almost feel like a kid too because you're not in charge of your own kids.
Yeah.
That's a good one.
It does happen to me.
Always tell the truth as well, don't they?
Kids will always come to me, dad, can have a packet of chips and some chocolate?
I'm like, yeah, go for it.
Then my wife will be on the phone and will stop her conversation.
You go, no, they're not having that.
And I'm like, oh, your mum said no.
And they're like, yeah, but dad, you said yes.
I reckon if we ask your kids who was boss, they would say Jamie.
Yeah, I know.
So if we use that measure, I'm no longer the elephant.
It's driving the car for me.
All right, what is the measure?
Because a study says that it should be the person that's paying the bills.
Are they wrong?
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
A new study.
suggest that if you are the person that pays the bills,
not necessarily earns the money,
but takes care of the admin,
make sure the lights stay on.
You are the alpha in a relationship.
Do we agree?
Yeah, we'll try and think of other things as well.
People are messaging in.
The one that books and plans a holiday,
that's the alpha.
I was thinking the person that maybe deals with the,
you know, the neighbours, if the neighbours come around
and ask something about the house or the driveway or something,
that would be my husband.
That would have been me because my neighbour calls me Devon.
Sometimes I walk past and she'll see George, my son,
and go, hello, George.
Morning, Devin.
Oh, yeah.
That's such beta energy.
And I just go, oh, morning.
You don't correct, do it?
No, I don't go, oh, my name's Dan, by the way.
Why?
Your name is Dan?
I don't know.
I just said, too far God.
She's been calling me Devin for months.
All right.
Katrina, what's the measure in your relationship for the alpha?
Morning, Katrina.
I'm sorry, is that Katrina?
Yeah.
Hey, babe.
Sorry.
Hey, um...
Oh, see, now this is interesting because I hate doing that.
But my wife always says, like, if I'm going out to buy something,
that's like, you know, like a bit of technology, say it's a new TV.
Hannah will always say, make sure you try and talk them down.
That's my worst nightmare.
So, Katrina, if you guys had all gone out for brunch and then there's a pub in your
ex-benny, who's calling to where are you going to eat?
How are you going?
Who's your bun is calling them over and going, sort my Mrs.
Breakfast out, please?
100%.
He will do it for anything.
If on a plane, he will make sure I've got the best seat.
Wow.
That's...
You're dealing
with every uncomfortable
conversation.
Yeah, that's Alpha Energy.
That is a good one, Katrina.
Thank you all right.
Thanks, Katrina.
I read her text before.
Rebecca, you think
an alpha is the what?
Hi, guys.
I'm thinking that the Alpha
is the Purn holiday.
Okay.
Because I guess
they're the ones
that are sort of making
the final decision, right?
Because a holiday
can be a little bit of a debate.
Yeah.
Oh, we're going to Corsica?
I know we're going to...
It takes a lot of organizing.
That's true because it's like literally
the highlight of your entire year is being planned by one person
and what you do and what you don't do. That does give real alpha energy.
A lot of pressure too to book a good holiday.
Is that you by the way, Bex?
I would say so.
I feel like you've got to, if you choose the wrong hotel,
everybody's going to blame you.
Yeah, right.
And you have to have a bit of confidence, don't you?
Yeah, thank you, Becca.
Other things, the alpha is whoever talks to the door-to-door salespeople.
Oh, that's so specific.
I just ignore them.
She's just asking for money.
I yell from the lounge.
Go away.
Somebody asks, she's texting,
saying that she's driving
two hours today while her
male partner is riding passenger
princess. She said, I don't trust him.
I also pay the bills. I set up new accounts.
The remote sits next to me.
My partner even hands it to me.
Yes, you are very clearly.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's a person, for me, it's the person
who drives, the person who does a lot of the work
around the house,
whether that be the housework, the cooking and stuff.
I think when you have like cooking and cleaning,
I don't think there should be blue jobs, pink jobs.
It's like you're both living in the house,
you both run in the house, you both, you notice it, you do it.
Yeah.
Well, it's clear that a lot of people have different opinions on this.
Well, I think you need, sounds like Devin,
you need to be doing more laundry around the house.
Yes, Devin.
Kevin does little laundry around the house.
Hey, yeah, we really had a nerve with this yesterday
when somebody wanted 500 bucks to help take the adjo.
off with their kids' school camp fees.
And then people started talking about what it's costing to send their kid to school camp.
And we didn't really get to touch on school camp core memory.
So maybe we'll do that coming up next.
Because it's costing some parents a fortune this time of year
because you've got to book yourself in for camps in maybe like October.
And everybody remembers school camp, whether it's a good memory or a bad memory.
We had someone yesterday, win some cash for take the edge off my life,
looking to pay for a school camp.
Yeah.
According to chat, GPT, cheapest school camp in New Zealand sits around 100 bucks, the most expensive, nearly 2,000.
And the average, the typical New Zealand primary or intermediate school camp now sits around $450 to $700.
Now, if you're a single parent having to pay that, I'd imagine quite tricky.
Yeah.
Because it's all come up and you're like, oh God, I didn't realize I needed to pay 700 bucks for a school camp.
Especially if you've got, like, my kids are only a year apart, so they're like year five and year six.
So if you've got a couple of kids or even three kids
that you're trying to find
school camp fees for?
Yeah, close than age as well
So you have to have like a separate bank account
where you just save towards school camp
And you want to do that for your kids, right?
Because school camp's such a core memory
Everybody remembers their school camp
Whether it's for bad or for worse
I went to T-pot Valley
I think it's still going
Teapot Valley
That sounds right up your alley
And everyone else like
Oh my man would have been like
The most boring camp ever
It was a teapot valley.
There was a big maze.
And there was like some sort of water slide.
We played spotlight at night time.
That was fun.
That's a staple A spotlight of a school camp.
Did you even do the Burma Trail?
Remember the Burma Trail where it's like pitch black and you have to follow a rope along?
Is that a school camp thing?
I remember having a rope, but it was over like a mud pit.
And you had to kind of go across it and people would fall off and covered in it.
Wow.
Okay.
I don't hear a lot.
My only cool memory from camp is because I was a bedwet until I was like 12.
of my mum having to like tick the box on the permission slip saying is your child a bed wetter having
to go yes and then going a plastic sheet to go out of my.
You sit there and the sad thing is that you know, there'll be people like, oh, nobody will
remember, but I still remember the person they wear the bed at my school camp, unfortunately.
And it wasn't that not to be made fun of or anything.
No, it's not.
It's just as a kid.
You just remember it.
Knowing that you have to go, it can be quite traumatising.
Oh, so hard.
And I used to get really bad homesickness.
I was such a homesick kid.
I had to stop doing sleepover because I had to get picked up every time I was bawling my eyes out, missing my mum and dad.
Yeah.
And if you're listening right now and you're a bedwetter, just know that it's fine.
Okay, let's normalise it.
I was doing it until I was 12 and look where I am now.
Doing a show with Meg Mansell.
Stop.
You're going to stop so that is that complete.
Somebody else has done the Burma Trail and Teapot Valley.
So, you know, that's good to us still going.
What's your school camp core memory?
Yeah, what happened?
What we've done that?
I never forget that, and it might have been so long ago, but you just never forget.
I feel like it's usually something to do with the parent helpers.
There must have been drama that went down.
I remember one of the parent helpers, like, slept with the camp leader.
And it was like this big scandal at my school, and then she, like, left the school and ended up running the camp with this person.
Oh, my gosh!
Yeah, it was like a full scandal.
Well, Sarah, it's going to be expensive for you.
You got twins.
Yikes.
Hi, dear.
Hi, Sarah.
How much is it going to cost you for the twins to go to school camp?
Oh look
For the actual sea itself
I was looking at about
4.50 between the two of them
for the school camp for two nights
three days
and then not to mention
the extra clothing
and equipment
the cutlery the sleeping bags
and the baking
you always get selected for baking or fruit
and no my luck I get one of each
yeah what a nightmare
because you have to buy like the parker
I remember the park you have to buy one of those
You have to get a carabina.
It's all got to be waterproof.
None of this pollel of place.
Don't forget to write their name in the back of the tag.
Otherwise, I'll leave it there.
You'll never get it back.
We haven't even mentioned bedwetting yet.
What was your school camp core memory?
I think the whole time I just remembered chasing around
trying to hook up with irony.
Who?
Arony.
I don't think I ever did either.
Irony?
Yeah.
She was one of the teachers, obviously.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What was your core
School Camp memory?
God!
I've already read one of the texts.
Can we get her on?
In fact, I think she is on the phone.
Yeah.
Let's go to Car Lane.
Morning Car Lane.
Good morning.
What happened at the school camp, Dale?
We were staying at Mark of Cassford
and we had to walk back down to the fair
and I'd walk and go around in Tulsa.
And I was only nine and I couldn't hold it.
Yeah, I did a meg.
I picked my pants.
You did a meg and poop your pants.
Look, Palane, it's not doing a meg when you're walking on a hike.
I did it one time when I was in bed.
Doing a me.
This is what Doing a meg is.
Doing a meg.
Doing a meg.
Pooing a bag.
Pooing the bed.
Pooing the bed.
Pooing the bed.
Doing a bag.
Pooing a bed.
Doing a bag.
How much I hate that every time we use it and play it.
No, but it's a reemforces Meg that that's what doing a Meg is.
Not just crapping yourself down Rangie Toto.
Yeah, let's stop just saying whenever you shoot yourself that it's doing a Meg, because that's not true.
It's when you're unwell in the bed.
Specific, right?
Yeah.
I hate that.
Right, let's move on to Amy.
Should I delete it?
Yes.
It's a catch you saw.
You should have asked me to just delete it.
Oh, piss off.
Amy.
What happened at camp?
It poured down the first night.
Our tent leaked on one side.
on one side, I got absolutely soaked through.
Sleeping bag was completely drenched, all my gear.
So I got sent home and the camp continued without me.
Isn't that like dream result though?
Or did you want to stay at camp?
Yeah, I wanted to stay.
I loved camping as a kid.
Yeah, it just sounds like that camp sucks because it was raining and stuff.
You know, it wouldn't be enjoyable.
Oh, that's so sad.
Yeah, maybe.
I mean, I don't know because I missed out.
Yeah, too.
Wouldn't they just get some of the other kids similar size?
Do you just chip in, give you a shirt, a pair of pants?
True.
Come on.
That's why you bring spare clothes as well, right?
All right.
All right.
All right.
What happened there at camp?
Well, it was year five.
Yeah.
Big field.
And then this really angry kid was throwing rocks around.
And he got this massive one.
And we were like little at this point.
So it was a pretty big rock to me.
And he threw it.
Got like my head caved in.
And then blood gushing down all of my clothes.
Rewaned my favorite shirt.
Everyone was traumatized probably.
I was traumatized.
It was quite traumatic, actually.
That's actually quite shocking.
incident to have happened. We can't really laugh at that
at all, can we? You're assaulted with a rock.
No, you can laugh. We laugh about it now. Did he get sent home?
No. He was one of the angry
kids that are allowed to be angry. Oh, I know
one of them. Why is that?
But I don't know, I don't know if there's much they can do.
But I know who you, I know one of them
absolutely. They're just allowed. Everyone else
has to deal with and go, oh, they're just the angry kid.
Yeah, he's allowed to do that. Come on, we need to be
better. He got comforted.
Yeah, yeah. Different rules for him.
bed. Also, Sean
texts her and said, in regards to the
Meg stuff, doing a Meg, didn't she also
crap herself on a walk once
you talked about on here? Just a yes or no answers.
And you weren't in a bed, you were actually
out and about walking.
Yeah, yeah. She had to just vacuum it up with a bistle,
didn't she? You did not vacuum it
with the whistle. In fact, I think there was another incident
where she showed herself to be...
I think she... Want to hear more of
